Clausewitz recommended that offensive force be concentrated on one direction, ideally upon a single point, later termed the Schwerpunkt, not dispersed here and there.

Israel is doing this. Those who support it, and who live elsewhere in the world, are complicit.

The weasel words of the supporters of Israel cannot justify the destruction of a whole city, the inhabitants of which are, half of them, under -18; a quarter of the population consists of babies or small children.

Israel may have nuclear weapons, nerve gas, tanks, jet aircraft, missiles etc, not to mention an over-wealthy and over-powerful support group in the rest of the world, but its days are numbered.

A degree of global warming may be happening, but the causation seems to be largely not human activity. It is suspicious how much fakery there has been around it all.

Again, weather in any given place is not the same as climate globally, but Greta Nut, in any event, has nothing interesting or useful to say.

Jews abusing “law”, or laws, in order to get what they want (in that clip, in occupied Palestine).

Now where have I heard about Jewish “lawfare” before?…

The inhuman hand of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby reaches right into the heart of most Western governments.

Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak is just another of “their” puppets, likely to be replaced next year by “Labour” Israel-puppet Starmer.

As for Paul Bristow, at least one Con Party MP has not completely sold out his own sense of decency.

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

I suppose that he feels that he has little to lose. Peterborough will probably swing back to Labour next year: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterborough_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s

I blogged about the 2019 Peterborough by-election (in which Bristow came in only third) at the time: see my pre-poll blog post https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/09/notes-from-the-peterborough-by-election/; he was elected several months later, at the 2019 General Election.

I also penned a post-poll analysis: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/06/07/peterborough-by-election-post-poll-analysis-and-thoughts/.

In fact, I had already, earlier, blogged about the “deadhead MP” Fiona Onasanya, whose removal and imprisonment triggered the by-election: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/21/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-fiona-onasanya-story/. As far as I know, she is still “on the dole”, having also been struck off the roll of solicitors (she had worked as a legal gopher for a couple of years prior to getting in on the old “MP” racket).

Suella Braverman has nothing but her political career. She was no more than mediocre as barrister: her “KC” status is an honorific one, in effect, granted after she became Attorney-General; in fact, at one time, all MP-barristers were granted “KC” on the nod (one such, in the 1960s, was John Mortimer, the writer). Suella Braverman will never return to the practising Bar.

My view is that Suella Braverman can see the way the wind is blowing; most Con Party MPs will not be MPs after next year. She, however, is in a very safe Con Party seat (Fareham), where she scored 63.7% of the vote in 2019. She will almost certainly be re-elected in 2024.

Suella Braverman’s populist anti-migration-invasion stance will also prove popular (both in Fareham and elsewhere). Even I like the (empty) rhetoric. In a Conservative Party in which many of the recent quasi-“big beasts” are or soon will be gone (stepped down or chucked out) or discredited (e.g. Liz Truss), Suella Braverman might actually be in a strong position to become leader of whatever rump rabble of Con Party MPs is left, especially with her supposedly (?) anti-immigration, and other, rhetoric.

As to the Jew/Israel aspect, she is married to a Jew (and he certainly sounds like a Zionist, pro-Israel Jew). She has effectively pledged fealty to the Jewish lobby by attending their dinners etc; and now this. She needs to get the Israel lobby and/or Jewish lobby onside if she is going to try for the Con Party leadership.

That might have amused me were I ignorant of the fact, if it is a fact, that Hancock is being paid a hundred grand or more (?) for it…I am presuming…[I just read £45,000; still, not bad].

My assessment of Hancock from 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/09/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-matt-hancock-story/.

When you look at bloodied children, dead children, how women, old people suffer, how doctors die, and fists clench, and tears well up in your eyes, you can’t say it any other way, but we shouldn’t, we don’t have the right to allow ourselves to be guided by emotions.

We must clearly understand who is really behind the tragedy of the people of the Middle East and other regions of the world. Who organizes deadly chaos, who benefits from it. Today this has become obvious and clear to everyone, the customers act openly and brazenly – it is the ruling elites of the United States and their satellites that are the main beneficiaries of global instability.

(((“the main beneficiaries“)))…

Israel set out in theory to destroy Hamas. It is now confronting an increasingly united Islamic world. For the first time in 1,000 years you have the Shiites and Sunnis who are united with one purpose, to STOP Israel. Instead of responding to this the President as he always does is escalating. Netanyahu is betting on this very heavily and believes that Israel together with our military power can prevail. This is a big mistake.

This is what the supporters of Israel in the UK and elsewhere are supporting, whatever weasel words they may utter.

Incidentally, it was —almost boringly— to be expected that the “human rights specialists”, often Jewish lawyers, in England, almost all seem to have fallen silent; a few are even excusing Israel, while whining at the same time how they feel “afraid” to keep on living here because they saw a Swastika drawn on a wall as they drove past somewhere, or they heard a few chants by Palestinians on TV news reports. What hypocrites (also expected, frankly…).

“Doctor” Coffey…Ha ha! She’s a fake.

What is disturbing about Therese Coffey being a Cabinet minister is not the mere fact that she is an idiot —she is not alone— but precisely that the present system leads to people quite as ill-suited as her becoming Government ministers.

I blogged a few years ago about Therese Coffey (updated from time to time): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

Seems that the Jews of Israel want “Lebensraum“, and Gaza to be “Araberfrei“…. Who would have thought it?

I want to see a similar map of the UK, but about economic power and showing exactly “which groups” have it. Same about ownership, control, and influence over the “British” mass media.

As soon as the Israelis started the present round of their repeated slaughter of the population of Gaza, up popped Rachel Riley (and a few other Jews and Jewish organizations, such as the tiny but well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) to threaten, on Twitter/X, anyone opposing Israeli actions by reason of, or connected to, so-called “antisemitism”.

She strikes me as a very unpleasant woman.

Jewish-Zionist scribbler Nicole Lampert platforms more basically pro-Israeli propaganda in the pages of the Daily Mail.

Rachel Riley supposedly left “shaking with fear“?…I doubt it.

In case anyone wants to read the nonsense of Rachel Riley and Nicole Lampert, here is the full article/report/propaganda piece: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12669923/countdown-rachel-riley-antisemitism-jews-hamas-attack-israel.html.

Unlike Rachel Riley, I always support freedom of expression. #MoralHighGround.

But she said the positive support in contrast had been ‘heartening’ – including the 50,000 British people who signed their name to an ‘October Declaration’ speaking out against antisemitism and the need to call out Hamas as ‘terrorists’.”

[Daily Mail]

50,000“. So about 1 in 1,000 people in the UK (and elsewhere?)…or, to put it another way, only 1 out of every 5 or 6 Jews in the UK. Not very impressive.

Laurence Fox

Laurence Fox really should stop posing as a political leader. He is a political bad joke. He is, or thinks that he is, pro-free speech, and I approve of that (though, like Toby Young, Delingpole, and the whole “Free Speech Union” mob, his support is limited and biased), but he is basically a disconnected Conservative Party person who (understandably) wants less censorship, and fewer migrant-invaders coming to the UK.

Fox is currently parroting Israeli/Jewish lobby propaganda. He should stop pretending that “Reclaim Party” is anything other than a political joke (and far less amusing than the Monster Raving Loonies) and either return to acting, or join a real social-national party (when one exists).

Jew-Zionist flyposting

I notice that Jews are actually reporting pro-Palestinian people who have been removed pro-Israel posters in London (and maybe elsewhere) to the police. In fact, tearing down such posters is not a crime. Putting up such posters is a crime (all flyposting is a crime in London).

Typical, though…

As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.

If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.

As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby. She has no idea of much, either politically or, I think, legally. A silly woman who is trying to position herself to be the leader of whatever small group of Conservative Party MPs is left after 2024.

In the old rhetorical question, how do you shuffle a pack consisting only of jokers?

The only “shuffle” that might have at least a slight effect would be to replace Sunak by someone recognisably English and at least superficially credible. The same with the Cabinet as a whole. At present, the song might be “where have all the English gone?

Ha ha! No comment, I think, except to say that the word you want is “effect“, not “affect” (but I should not want to be regarded as a “grammar nazi”…).

On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.

Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

I read somewhere or other that, of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and then survive both the impact and the waters (about 2%), most recall having a moment when they wished not to have jumped, and/or prayed for a miracle.

Knowing almost no Arabic, I have no idea what he is saying; maybe praising the build-quality of the tunnel.

As I blogged before, the old Soviet KGB had great expertise in digging tunnels. The one shown above looks well-constructed, lined etc. No idea as to depth, though. Presumably very deep.

It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).

There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.

Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?

As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).

The NWO/ZOG conspiracy has been exposed —yet again— in the past week. The masks really have come off. Von der Leyen, Macron, Nigel Farage etc, as well as more obvious puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby such as Starmer, Sunak, and the “tail wags dog” American government and msm.

Oh dear…

Tommy Robinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson_(activist)] gives his opinion. He claims, with reasonable plausibility, that he is not getting money directly from Israel (though that leaves in the air the question of from where he does get the money upon which he lives in his Spanish exile).

I slightly sympathize with “Robinson’s'” dislike of Hamas and even Fatah, but he seems unaware or uncaring about the strategic “big picture” that has unfolded since 1948 in Israel/Palestine.

I should be interested to see a similar graphic, I suppose it would have to be an ordinary graph, showing the amount and/or proportion of the UK economy controlled by Jewish interests in 1890, 1923, 1956, 1989, and this year.

“Robinson” might care to factor-in to his future comments the question of which group or groups control the political and msm narrative(s) in the UK, and in the West more generally. Not Hamas or Fatah, and not —most of the time— the Muslim community or communities, but mainly the Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby.

If the Palestinians supporting Hamas (etc) are monstrous, they have been made monstrous— by Israel.

That is probably the first time I have ever agreed completely with anything tweeted by Aaron Bastani. Perhaps I should have it framed.

The West has lost moral authority. That is what happens when your governments are corrupted by Jew-Zionism not only in the Middle East but also in our own countries; in the UK, USA, France, Germany etc.

I should date the loss of American moral authority specifically (despite all that has happened since 1776) mainly to the events that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan a couple of decades ago, and what flowed from those invasions. The terrible Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other torture programmes, including so-called “extraordinary rendition”; also including the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.

Grant Shapps

Saw many tweets etc against the Jew Shapps; a few in his favour, too. What strikes me as incredible is that many discuss his words as if the fact that he is a Jew (indeed a fanatical Zionist Jew) is not really relevant! “After all, he has a UK passport“, “he was born in the UK, in Hertfordshire” etc…

Shapps was the head of the Zionist organization “Bnai Brith”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps.

Of course, Shapps was also a near-fraudulent business schemer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps#Business_ventures.

At least with the Israeli Jews in positions of political authority, you know that almost all of them have been in uniform, and quite a few have seen action (i.e. what you see is more or less what you get) but in Britain we now have the Shapps type, who really know nothing about defence or anything else. Not only Jews, incidentally— look at, to name only one other, Gavin Williamson. I blogged about him 4+ years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

Actually, Britain cannot “go to war” anyway. For that, you need a functioning Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our very-reduced armed forces are now almost powerless, and indeed almost useless. In fact, I begin to wonder what is the point of even having them. Our very borders are open to any who wish to cross the Channel in a rubber boat. Migration invasion.

Needless to say, Matthew Parris fails to note that Shapps is a Jewish Zionist. I suppose that Parris wants to keep his job; anyone even noting en passant whether someone, even someone as incompetent and dishonest as Shapps, is a Jew, faces loss of job, loss of money, etc, maybe even prosecution…in fact, the Zionists rely on that kind of intimidation (in Europe, where the Jews have no Israeli Defence Force or secret police with which to frighten people).

Since the recent Gaza events, I have seen several tweets by well-known Jews in the UK effectively threatening to report to police, presumably to those police playing at “counter-terrorism”, anyone criticizing the Israeli actions.

Typical.

Incidentally, I have today seen tweets by Jews in the UK who support the Israeli actions, one saying that “In 2008, during [Operation] Cast Lead, Hamas had rockets that could only go a few kilometers. Now they can go 250 km. In 2008, Hamas didn’t have drones, amphibious assault teams, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. Now they do.

I agree with that. The operational capabilities of Israel’s enemies, both in Palestine and elsewhere, have grown greatly. The population of Tel Aviv will, sooner or later, be protected from air attack little more than is, now, the unfortunate population of Gaza.

In the old proverb, “old sins cast long shadows“…

I recall what a hullabaloo the UK msm made when the bridge was damaged by Kiev-regime attack. Now, though, no reportage. How odd (not).

Very English (to remove the flag, rather than… well, ’nuff said…).

The virtue-signallers have moved on. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) is no longer flavour of the month. Now it is Israel (oddly; after all, a vast mechanized war machine is attacking a largely-unarmed civilian population, half of which is under18 years of age).

Russia will eventually triumph in Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper). The Kiev regime is living on borrowed time.

In other words, the Americans (US Govt, not ordinary Americans) are going to allow the Israeli Jews a “free hit” on the population of Gaza, half of whom are under 18, and at least quarter of whom are young or very young (0-12) in age.

This is going to be an even less equal fight than, say, the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943, or the wider Warsaw Uprising (involving Poles rather than Jews) in 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising#Main_revolt; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising.

While “technically” perhaps not genocide, this is at least quasi-genocide.

Again it strikes me that, while the Israeli Jews kill tens of thousands (which may eventually be hundreds of thousands) in Gaza, the most vocal-on-social-media Jews in England are whining (and lying) about how they and their neighbours etc are “fearful” or “afraid“, or even “terrified” of (very limited, mostly “defensive” and only very rarely physically-manifested) “antisemitism” in the UK.

The hurt done to animals, both domestic and other, is another heavy sin to be carried by the Israelis as they further devastate Gaza.

The Israeli army continues to delay the start of the ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Now the IDF command has announced that the army will launch a ground operation after assessing the number of residents remaining in the enclave. The ID command had not previously mentioned such a condition. But the world community’s reaction to the events in the Gaza Strip could not but affect Netanyahu and his entourage.

Therefore, for the time being, the decision was made to achieve the evacuation of only the majority of the population from the enclave.

According to numerous Arabic TV channels, more than 800 thousand people have now left the northern Gaza Strip. However, a significant number of civilians still remain in the enclave. If Israel launches a military operation while there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip, it will lead to tragic consequences for the population.

In addition, the Israeli authorities fear the risks associated with the start of a ground operation, involving new participants in the conflict, after which the IDF will have to fight on two, and even three or four fronts. In addition, there is a high probability that the US will not become directly involved in an armed conflict.

Therefore, Israel seems to be delaying the start of the operation not to estimate the number of civilian population in Gaza, towards which the Israeli authorities have long shown indifference, but to assess the real prospects and risks of an invasion.”

Many of the “foreign citizens” are in fact Jews. They flee, panic-stricken.

In fact, Osborne is only a part-Jew, according to modern genetics. There is no need for us to follow the backward tribal precepts from thousands of years ago which “they” follow, i.e. that someone is “Jewish” if the mother was (designated as) “Jewish”.

The old Jew conspirator obviously either knows or believes that Europe is going to be written off by the transnational conspiracy (NWO/ZOG), and so any further payments in Europe would be wasted. This is a very significant straw in the wind.

NATO has lost hope in the victory of Ukraine, said retired British colonel Richard Kemp.

In an article he wrote for The Telegraph, commenting on the statement by NATO Secretary General Styan Jensen’s chief of staff that Ukraine could join the North Atlantic Alliance if it cedes territory to Russia, Kemp assessed that this was a factual admission of how the West sees the solution to the conflict in Ukraine: “It seems that the leading Western countries want to sell Ukraine cheaply and as soon as possible.”

The British officer added that the West – just two years after its shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan – is “once again on the verge of admitting defeat”.”

A pro-Israel propagandist. To my mind, a very sinister individual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kemp.

The fact that Kemp is speaking out in such terms as above-noted may indicate a System worry that the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cause may have lost the support of the public, if not to a pro-Russian position then to an unbiased and/or apathetic view.

Also, Kemp’s comments may indicate that some decision-makers in the West have come to the view that Zelensky’s corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship cannot win, strategically, against Russia in Ukrainian (or former Ukrainian) territory, let alone on the territory of Russia itself.

Nadine Dorries

Seems that that useless expenses freeloader, Nadine Dorries, is actually going to stand down. In a way, slightly surprising. I thought that she might try to hang on until 2024 and the next general election.

The bigger question is how she, and literally hundreds of other totally stupid and ignorant MPs (not only “Conservative” one; Labour and LibDem and SNP ones too) ever became MPs (let alone ministers) in the first place. My question is of course rhetorical; the whole pseudo-democratic system is broken.

Nadine Dorries. A complete deadhead.

That tweet refers to some of the semi-fraudulent behaviours of Nadine Dorries, such as paying at least one of her (unqualified) daughters about £50,000 a year via Parliamentary expenses, and the misuse of a flat (also paid for via expenses) in which said daughter(s) lived for free for years. Not to mention “grifted” laptops, iphones etc.

I think that it is true for most MPs. The rest may be more honest (possibly) but many even of those are irredeemably ignorant and/or stupid, which is no better, surely…

Once American society collapses, it will probably never recover, because the bulk of the population exists on such a low cultural and intellectual level. Not just “prejudice”…I have both lived there and worked there.

Yes, there are exceptions. A small minority of people; maybe 2% or 3%.

Europe is under attack both in terms of demographics and in terms of culture.

The above map shows the situation from about 1989-2022. The next 33-year cycle, up to about 2055, will result in even greater and even less-welcome changes in the European space, unless something can be done to prevent them.

I agree with him.

THE LOSS of the last elite reserve units, which the military leadership of Ukraine has inserted into the fighting on the Zaporizhzhya front, will lead to its collapse, said former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter.

“Now we are witnessing – emphasized Ritter – the last phase of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which has not achieved any goal. It alone led to the death of more than 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers. There are only 15 thousand of them left.

‘I’m talking about elite reserve units armed with British Challenger tanks, Marder and Stryker combat vehicles.”

Ritter pointed out that Kiev’s fresh forces “also got stuck in minefields in front of Russian defense lines.” According to him, as soon as the last elite units of Kiev are destroyed, the Ukrainian front will begin to collapse, like an old dam unable to hold back a powerful river flow.”

[Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector and military intelligence officer]

You can already see the NWO/ZOG-ruled powers reconsidering— various EU states are modifying the military and other aid going to the Kiev regime, and the US Government has been increasingly making public, in a guarded way, its concern that the Ukraine war might become a general European conflict and even an intercontinental nuclear one.

Can you imagine? Lammy might become a Cabinet minister if/when Labour forms a government…

Lammy, a thick “diversity hire”, who (like Diane Abbott) basically hates white (eg British) people, history, and culture (but has a wife who is not black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green).

The bigger scandal is that any bank executive gets that kind of pay. The same applies to lawyers, business executives, entertainers, TV talking heads etc.

Labour plans for tougher hate crime laws if they enter power could lead to criminal charges for misgendering trans people, a think tank warns today.

‘Maintaining free speech… is essential if we are to defend a liberal society based on rationality rather than coercion.’

[the] study was backed by Labour backbencher Graham Stringer, who likened gender ideology to the claim made by Humpty Dumpty in Alice In Wonderland that words mean whatever he chooses them to mean. 

He said: ‘There are many in the transgender debate who follow in the Humpty Dumpty tradition. 

‘Men become women and women become men via a simple declaration. If words can have any meaning debate becomes meaningless. 

‘You end up with authoritarianism, which is what transgender ideologues desire, with them in authority.’

Britain’s increasingly useless police

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-punched-head-shoplifter-slams-30382873.

A woman has reportedly told how she was “punched in the head” by a suspected shoplifter and slammed a police officer after seeing footage of him refusing to help.

The PCSO – who is seen parked up in marked police car – is told about a fight at a Co-Op store in Lancing, West Sussex, less than 300 yards away.

He responds: “But then I’ll have to deal with it.”

The officer tells the witness – who pulled up alongside his car to inform him of a fight sparked by people trying to stop shoplifters – he is not part of a response unit.

Following the attack she was left with bruising to her face and cuts to her hands.

She reportedly said that crime in the UK is getting worse with police “reluctant” to get involved and stop it.

[Daily Mirror]

The Guardian had a similar report, with a video of a man, rather than a woman, talking to the useless PCSO toy-policeman: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/03/sussex-pcso-filmed-refusing-to-intervene-in-alleged-assault

The police are wasting endless man-hours snooping on Twitter, and on blogs such as this, but seem to want to ignore the deterrence and detection of real crime, which is their core job.

Naturally, the police have always had a degree of discretion in how they perform their duties…

…but ignoring a fight in the public street, a fight following a shop theft just down the road, would seem to be taking a laid-back attitude rather too far…

In “peaceful” (?) Lancing, Sussex, too.

I once visited Lancing, about 28 years ago, in order to complete a SCUBA course at a dive centre which I believe no longer exists. Pity. It had a proper dive-instruction pool, i.e. not just a swimming pool.

That pool looked just like an ordinary, fairly big, indoor swimming pool, but was very different in that about a quarter of its length was only about 4 feet deep, but the rest of the pool was about 30 feet deep. The depth went straight down from 4 feet to 30 feet.

30 feet might not seem terribly deep (and ordinary recreational divers go down to depths of 70 feet) but when you are 30 feet down, and then the instructor deliberately pulls out your air supply and throws it over your shoulder (to test your ability to recover the regulator and start breathing again without panicking or striking out madly for the surface), it seems a long long way down.

I passed that test (and the course) but I admit that, for a split second, I had wanted to get to the surface no matter what. You have to overcome your own unreasoning fear, and overcome it in an instant.

Lancing, what little I saw of it from and to the little railway station (the course lasted two days, and I stayed at a B&B by the beach, close to the dive centre) seemed pretty quiet. As I say, though, that was about 28 years ago.

When he was first in the Commons, I thought that ex-officer (Captain) Mercer might be a breath of fresh air, and a more honest voice amid the freeloaders, frauds, and careerist drones. I was wrong. Mercer turned out to be every bit as dishonest as the other System political puppets, and even more greedy for money than most of them. A real deadhead, too.

Another £2.5M wasted on the pointless war in Ukraine.

This goes beyond “multiculturalism does not work“. Europe must now fight an existential war, a war for its future.

I am completely opposed to mass immigration and the cross-Channel migration-invasion, but that is just cruel and petty, and rather depressing.

Jenrick had an oddly-stellar if very brief career before he became an MP. A student at Cambridge, at Philadelphia, and at an expensive private law school (once a “crammer” institution, I think) in London, followed by qualification as solicitor at the rather late age of 26: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick.

Wikipedia says nothing about his parentage or family. It is fairly clear, though, that he must come from a background of considerable wealth.

After having qualified aged 26 as solicitor, in 2008, Jenrick worked for about 4 years in London and Moscow for two of the most prestigious American law firms: Skadden Arps, and Sullivan & Cromwell. He was then appointed a director of the Christie’s auction house. Quite something at the age of only ~30/31.

Jenrick, elected as MP in 2014, was already appointed PPS (to Esther McVey) in early 2015, only just over a year after becoming an MP. PPS to several other ministers followed, and then he became Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury in 2018 (aged 36) and was appointed a Cabinet minister the following year, aged only 37.

Despite that superficially stellar start to his career(s), I have never seen anything very intelligent said or done by Jenrick, and he is a total puppet of the Jewish lobby:

On 26 July 2019, he said, “I want tackling antisemitism and ensuring that the Jewish community feels protected and respected to be one of my priorities as Secretary of State”.[17] In September 2019, he said, “I will use my position as Secretary of State to write to all universities and local authorities to insist that they adopt the IHRA definition at the earliest opportunity… and use it when considering matters such as disciplinary procedures. Failure to act in this regard is unacceptable.”

[Wikipedia].

In January 2020, Jenrick spoke at the Conservative Friends of Israel Parliamentary reception and told the audience that he would “look forward to the day” when Britain’s embassy in Israel will be “moved to Jerusalem”.”

[Wikipedia]

In June 2020, Jenrick faced questions over his links to a Conservative donor after it emerged that he met an Israeli businessman, Idan Ofer, with an interest in the future of a multibillion-pound project that Jenrick, then exchequer secretary to the Treasury, was overseeing. Ofer stated that the £10,000 donation via his Quantum Pacific business was made at the behest of Conservative Friends of Israel, of which Jenrick was a member.[38] Jenrick later said that Ofer was a family friend.”

On 14 January 2020, Jenrick approved a £1 billion luxury housing development of 1,500 homes on Westferry Road, Isle of Dogs, proposed by Richard Desmond, a Conservative Party donor and owner of Northern & Shell. A Government planning inspector had advised against permitting the scheme, as it would not deliver enough affordable housing and as the height of the tower would be detrimental to the character of the area.[46] When Jenrick approved the scheme on 14 January, he knew that an approval by that date would enable Desmond to avoid having to pay a council-imposed infrastructure levy of between £30 and £50 million, which could have been used for funding schools and health clinics.[47][48] Tower Hamlets London Borough Council then pursued a judicial review against Jenrick’s decision in the High Court, arguing that it had shown bias towards Desmond. It was also reported that Jenrick had helped Desmond to save an additional £106m by allowing affordable housing at 21%, instead of enforcing the local and London-wide planning policy requirement of 35%.[49][50] This could have resulted in a total discount (and subsequent loss of revenue to the Exchequer) of approximately £150 million.[50]

In May 2020, Jenrick did not contest the judicial review, conceding that his sign-off of the scheme was “unlawful by reason of apparent bias”. He also confirmed that his approval had deliberately been issued before the new CIL policy could be adopted. This meant that Jenrick was able to avoid disclosing correspondence relating to the application in open court. His planning permission was quashed by the High Court, which ordered that the matter was to be decided by a different minister.[51]

Jenrick maintained that although the decision had been “unlawful by reason of apparent bias”, there had been no “actual bias”.”

[Wikipedia]

Once again a Jewish connection, the developer, Richard Desmond [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Desmond] being Jewish.

In June 2020, Jenrick was described by Baroness Deech as breaching “the guidance on planning propriety” over his management of a planning application to build a national Holocaust memorial, which she described as controversial. The MHCLG, Jenrick’s department, took control of the approval process from Westminster Council days after he met the project’s main backers, including Gerald Ronson.”

[Wikipedia]

Again, the said Ronson is a Jew and, despite having a criminal conviction for fraud, very well-connected with government, being head (“Founding Chairman”) of the Jewish strongarm and snooping organization, the “Community Security Trust” [“CST”]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ronson; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Security_Trust. The CST receives tens of millions of pounds annually from the government, i.e. the British taxpayer.

Jenrick is a member of the Parliamentary Conservative Friends of Israel group.[68][69] In July 2019 he spoke of his visit to Auschwitz concentration camp; “It had a huge impact on me and in particular because my wife is the daughter of Holocaust survivors from modern day Poland and Ukraine.”[17] Jenrick has said his connection to the Jewish community forms “a very important and integral part of my life”.[17]

[Wikipedia]

Jenrick is married to Michal Berkner. She is nine years older than Jenrick[71] and is the child of Holocaust survivors.[72] She is an Israeli-born and US educated[73] corporate lawyer who practises mainly in London. The couple have three daughters, whom they are bringing up in the Jewish faith.[2][74][18]

He owns two £2m homes in London, one of which is a £2.5m townhouse less than a mile from the Houses of Parliament. He also owns Eye Manor, a Grade I listed building in Herefordshire which he purchased for £1.1 million in 2009.[75][76] His constituency of Newark is 150 miles (240 km) from his ‘family home’ in Herefordshire.[77] He rents a £2,000-a-month property in his Newark constituency,[25] which is paid for by the MPs’ second homes allowance.”[78]

[Wikipedia].

The leitmotiv of Jenrick’s political career has been a tangled skein of what at least appears to be corruption tied-in with Jewish interests.

His mean little action in re having ordered those murals painted over is odd, bearing in mind that Jewish interests and individual Jews have always been and still are in the forefront of encouragement of mass immigration into the UK (and Europe generally). I can only suppose that it was a public relations ploy that backfired.

Frenzied System scrambling to control the narrative of that story, because once the public see that there is a background conspiracy to delegitimize dissident individuals and parties, a whole new chapter of questioning “officially-approved” narratives begins, questioning of narratives such as “liberal democracy”, “a fair society”, the 20thC/21stC history of the UK, and indeed the contrived “holocaust” farrago.

Look not at the Schauspiel, but at what is behind it, and at those who are really pulling the strings.

Communism” here is just a label for a power-takeover. Many think of “Communism” in the sense of the Marxist-Leninist socialist/communist movements of the 20thC— red flags, Lenin, Trotsky, bas-reliefs of Marx, Engels and Lenin, Soviet power complete with displays of tanks etc.

“Soviet power” was, to some extent, and in the earliest phase almost entirely, hatched by secretive Western groups, mainly Jewish.

What is happening now is something different, but still with the theme of power-elites subjugating the populations of the world. “Lockdowns”, “15-minute cities”, removal of car ownership, removal of the freedom conferred by cash, everything to be online, monitored, controlled etc.

Not far down the line— microchip implants, and then control by AI robots and systems. All facilitated using sophisticated methods of psychological control, making the population collaborators in their own enslavement. This was tested out across the world during the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”.

At this point, anyone who is still sending money to “Jack Monroe” is either an utter, utter, mug or is mentally disturbed, or both.

The sad thing is that the —no doubt well-meaning— old fellow was used from the start, both by the System, then by his daughter etc. His “walk around his garden for the NHS” made a huge public impression, but the NHS was not really short of money— it was just misapplied. Inessential instant “Covid” hospitals, useless —and mostly inessential anyway— PPE supplies etc. Also, the whole “Covid” “panicdemic” ruined the economy in various ways, resulting in higher medical demand as people went untreated and unchecked, but less money available to deal with that.

No wonder that the Kiev regime has run out of volunteers, and is using press-gang methods to force Ukrainians unable to emigrate to enlist. Anyone fighting for the Kiev regime is now doomed, pretty much.

Very true. Worth reading.

The UK’s police are now largely useless. As blogged previously, I am not going to blog prior to trial about my current prosecution for blogging the truth, not in detail anyway, but I am more than irritated (“livid” might cover it) that the policeman (who shall remain anonymous for now) who at present is, it seems, effectively to be the only witness against me at any trial (the date of which is uncertain but, if held, will probably take place in the Autumn or Winter of this year) is also part of, or even possibly the head, of the very “neighbourhood policing team” which was totally useless in preventing the theft of a wheel from my car nearly 5 months ago, or in detecting the perpetrators (despite some evidence having been provided or available to the police).

Instead of doing their proper and rightful job, the police sneak around at the behest of the Zionist element, snooping on Twitter and socio-political blogs, and interfering with free speech.

The Rwanda policy was never going to work on the mass scale. The shambles of a political and judicial establishment just used it as an electoral football. Now, it may never happen at all.

Every day, hundreds of migrant-invaders cross the Channel. Hardly any are being deported, whether to Rwanda or anywhere else. Britain is changing, sliding, deteriorating, and being invaded, before our very eyes. Just look around you.

Indeed, the cross-Channel migration invasion is only a fraction of the full problem, which also involves other kinds of non-white entrant to the UK, and also births to those already here.

Britain has already changed out of all recognition in the past half-century. In another 50 years, there will be nothing worth saving.

Triple Lock

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12244533/Work-Pensions-Secretary-Mel-Stride-reassures-pensioners-triple-lock-stay.html

The state pension triple lock is here to stay – but people may eventually have to wait until the age of 70 to claim it, the Work and Pensions Secretary said yesterday.

In an unusual intervention, Mel Stride moved to reassure pensioners that a commitment to the triple lock will be included in the next Conservative manifesto.

But Mr Stride also suggested younger people may have to work for years longer in order to claim it.

Downing Street committed to honouring the triple lock this week, despite warnings from economists that stubborn inflation could result in a 7 per cent rise in the pension bill.

Mr Stride went further, saying the Conservatives were committed to the triple lock in the long term.”

[Daily Mail]

People over 60 are the Conservative Party mainstay, both in membership and electorate. Lose that bloc, and there will be no Conservative Party to speak of. Rishi Sunak dropped the Triple Lock a couple of years ago, for a year. He will not make that mistake again, not if he wants to stay posing as PM.

Speaking personally, though I myself am (since last year) of State-pensionable age, I am less affected either way, partly because I only get about half of the State Pension maximum (by reason of having spent many years overseas).

Still, that 70-year pension age possibility is absurd. It raises again, the probable need for some kind of Basic Income.

“Lockdowns”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12244133/NANA-AKUA-Im-no-lockdown-skeptic-effects-son-mean-wont-compliant-time.html

This morning I smiled as my happy, lively five-year-old son skipped into the school playground, babbling excitedly about presents for his approaching sixth birthday.

Not too long ago it was an altogether different story. From March 2020, the cumulative effect of three oppressive lockdowns over 12 months led to a transformation in my son that was painful to behold.

His attention span, enthusiasm for learning, even his burgeoning vocabulary — they all but collapsed under the isolation and loss of routine that characterised each lockdown

That’s why the declaration this week by the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock that Britain must be prepared for more of the same in future pandemics — but with wider, earlier and more stringent lockdowns — filled me with horror and fury in equal parts.

Horror because as a mother, I was a near helpless witness to the corrosive effects of these restrictions on my son, and anger because history has shown us all too viscerally that, deployed unwisely, lockdowns can be as fatal and damaging as the virus they are meant to suppress.

[Daily Mail]

Instead of little Matt Hancock being punished appropriately for his espousal of the “SAGE” committee rubbish (“lockdowns”, “social distancing”, the asinine “Rule of Six”, the facemask nonsense etc), the System has rewarded him with huge amounts of money via book deal(s), guesting on I’m a Celebrity etc. I should love it were he to be punished.

Hancock will no doubt be applauded by the sort of loonies who came out of the woodwork in 2020/21. They cannot wait for more of all that garbage, together with “15 minute cities” and the rest.

More of that wonderful “diversity” to be “celebrated”…

Paddington

I was just indulging my Google Earth streetview addiction (again). This time the Praed Street/Eastbourne Terrace/Bishop’s Bridge Road area of Paddington.

Had I just teleported to Praed Street, I should scarcely have recognized it after even 16 years (the last time I saw it, when I appeared at Central London County Court near Regent’s Park, and stayed at what was then the Edgware Road Hilton at the junction of Edgware Road and Praed Street).

When I lived in Little Venice, very intermittently, from 1976 through to about mid-1990s, Praed Street, especially between St. Mary’s Hospital and Edgware Road, was a rather neglected area. Now it bustles. New buildings, new shops.

The area to the west, by Paddington Station, also very different. The old Great Western Hotel, dusty and neglected, is now another Hilton. A few shops and cafes that I recognized, in the side streets.

Eastbourne Terrace now totally different, with some buildings gutted and awaiting rebuilding, others completely new. The one that used to house John Brown Engineering, which Gorbachev visited in, I think, late 1984, is now gone, as far as I can see. Other buildings are new.

I noticed all the new buildings around Bishop’s Bridge Road, though the one that used to house Red Star Parcels (the parcel arm of the old British Rail) is still there, though evidently refurbished. I used to know a very eccentric person who worked there, one Gaster, who had been sacked from his job at the Foreign Office in 1939 or 1940 and then interned on the Isle of Man as a dissident (for being against the war with the German Reich).

Gaster (I think possibly part-German, another possible reason for his WW2 internment) always reminded me of one of those bureaucrats or politicos in the Soviet sphere of influence, reduced to the ranks and made to work as a forester or parcel operative (as it might be). Wonder what happened to him? Long gone, I should think. ~44 years ago, and he must have been 60 or more then.

I see that the roundabout under the Westway, near to Little Venice, is still recognizable, though, and the lay-by (featured near the end of Withnail and I), is still there.

Idle thoughts…

I remember walking down Edgware Road about 40 years ago with a lady whose office was near Paddington Station. She suddenly let out an expletive, followed by “I’ve lost an ear-ring“. Said ear-ring was an emerald, and set in gold. I think quite old. I suggested that we retrace our steps, though not holding out much hope. We did walk back, eyes on pavements and roadway. We had nearly reached the Circle and District Line station opposite the rail terminal when she suddenly pounced like a bird on something in the gutter. Her emerald ear-ring.

In fact, perseverance like that does, sometimes, pay off. I recall one time when I was with my younger brother at Newbury Races. About 1973. I was maybe 17, he was perhaps 15. Things must have been slacker, or less nanny-state, then; I do not think that anyone ever stopped us from backing a horse.

Anyway, the race was run. My horse lost, and my brother’s also lost, but less badly, having come in second. Still, that was no good, and he threw down his bookmaker’s ticket, a colourful oblong card about five inches by two. We walked away to go back to the stands or paddock. Then there was an announcement— “Stewards’ Inquiry“… Five or ten minutes later, the winning horse had been disqualified, and my brother’s placed 1st. He had won, but had no ticket to prove it. He spent half an hour or more wandering amid thousands of discarded tickets, like a wading bird. Incredibly, he found his ticket amid that multitude, and collected his winnings.

Statement

As regular readers will know, I am now, once again, the target of a malicious and politically-motivated attack, this time a prosecution, instigated by the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a very small but well-funded group of fanatical Zionist Jews.

I made a statement about this previously; see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/05/29/diary-blog-29-may-2023/.

I now see that there have been a couple of tweets inaccurately stating that I am to be tried this month. Not so. Any trial (if one is actually held at all) will be held in November or December 2023, or possibly even in 2024. In the interim period, there will be at least one brief and purely procedural hearing.

A nuisance, of course, but since the latest malicious attempt was publicized (by the “CAA” goblins themselves, on Twitter and on their website), there has been an increase in the readership of this blog. Silver lining?

Nadine Dorries and the Mid-Bedfordshire constituency

I was considering the Nadine Dorries situation.

At present, Nadine Dorries remains MP for the constituency of Mid-Bedfordshire. She most recently, in 2019, was re-elected with nearly 60% of the vote, and had previously usually achieved over 50%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_Bedfordshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

A safe Conservative Party seat, which she has represented since 2005, and which has been good to her— good salary, hugely-inflated expenses, time out to appear on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here for a very large fee, and to write about a dozen cheap novels.

She was able to employ at least two of her three daughters on very inflated salaries (via MP expenses) and has been investigated several times by the police. On at least one occasion, the file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration for prosecution. However, she has wriggled out of trouble every time.

Now, having announced her immediate resignation [see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65910896], Nadine Dorries has not in fact done what is necessary, i.e. to apply, notionally, for “an office of profit under the Crown“, usually either “Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds” or “Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead”.

The delay is plainly because Nadine Dorries was, or so she claims, offered a peerage by the former Prime Minister, Johnson, which offer is now worthless. That she was offered a peerage was apparently the case; her nomination for a peerage was one of those deleted from the list, supposedly by decision of Rishi Sunak.

It seems clear to me that Nadine Dorries announced her “resignation” because she was sure of getting a well-paid sinecure as a “baroness” in the Lords— ~£350 a day without any need even to pretend to do anything for it, plus well-subsidized and palatial surroundings in which to meet people, network etc.

In theory, Nadine Dorries could hang on as MP until the next General Election, getting the salary, the expenses etc, while doing nothing. Perhaps she will.

Nadine Dorries was only too happy to jettison the loyal —and possibly stupid— voters of Mid-Bedfordshire. Unsurprising. As soon as her then-husband and father of her children developed multiple sclerosis, she (in effect) abandoned him, after 23 years of marriage: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries#Personal_life.

I was just comparing Nadine Dorries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries] with the MP, Stephen Hastings, who held the seat from 1960 to 1983: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hastings.

Hastings’ biography includes Sandhurst, and WW2 action with the Scots Guards, the early SAS, and the shambolic but certainly sometimes courageous SOE, later followed by 12 years with SIS/MI6.

Naturally, Hastings was born with a silver spoon compared to Nadine Dorries. No argument. Eton, Sandhurst, the expectation and inheritance of several large, or arguably even great estates. Financially, and in terms of useful connections, he had it far easier than Nadine Dorries, born into relative poverty in Liverpool.

All the same, which of the two really would be better as MP?

In fact, that sort of decline in standards has happened across the board since about 1989. Compare Jo Grimond, for example, with Jo Swinson. Both Liberal/LibDem leaders, but what a contrast! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Swinson.

Again, one was born into affluence, indeed into riches, and never had to struggle financially, but the point is which of the two was the more fitted to be an MP and political leader.

Incidentally, I noticed that Stephen Hastings wrote an autobiography, Drums of Memory. I have just ordered a used copy, and for the knockdown price of £1.75 plus a couple of pounds postage. Pretty good value for a hardback book in apparently almost new condition. Will look forward to reading that, assuming it actually arrives (my last purchase, Anna Karenina in Russian, has been refunded by Amazon because of some problem with distribution).

Nadine Dorries is just one symptom of a completely decadent and corrupt political system in the UK.

Money thrown at the feet of the Kiev regime. Meanwhile, in Britain, people cannot get medical treatment or decent housing, and the roads are falling to pieces.

The head of the Army is considering scrapping centuries-old ranks such as Rifleman and Guardsman because they are masculine.

In an attempt to make regiments more inclusive, General Sir Patrick Sanders is poised to break hundreds of years of battlefield tradition.

Historic titles used by world-renowned Guards regiments and even his own regiment, the Rifles, could be ditched in favour of gender-neutral ranks.

[Daily Mail].

Are we actually supposed to pretend that the British Army still has some kind of useful role?

If “Jack Monroe” did that, she might trigger an avalanche of similar claims, together with even more negative publicity.

Her pseudo-celebrity supporters are ebbing away. Weak waste of space Alice Beer is the latest. Jay Rayner cut “Jack Monroe” loose nearly a year ago now, and Nigella Lawson later followed suit.

None will denounce her, but will just show her the cold shoulder.

I suppose that “Jack Monroe” will try to leverage whatever she can to stay in the public eye to some extent, as with her unexplained appearance on BBC Question Time recently, and she needs that public exposure, if only to keep onside the hard core of donor-mugs who are each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month via Patreon— 411 utter mugs as of today.

God. What a loonie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_O%27Reilly.

Britain 2023, where Max Hastings looks like the most principled journalist imaginable…a measure of either how Hastings has grown since he covered the Vietnam War in the late 1960s, or of how far British public life has slid into the mire in more recent decades.

If mortgage rates continue to rise, there will be a rather British non-violent political upheaval. There must be millions of people who do not really “own their own home” as they think they do, because they have a mortgage on the property.

I have just seen a statistic which claims that nearly 28% of the UK population are homeowners without a mortgage or loan against the property, while nearly 38% are “homeowners” but with a mortgage or other loan against the property (I presume that the remaining ~34% are either renters or are too young to take title to real property).

38%. That means, in theory, 38% of the voters, too.

People may not like or trust the Labour Party or the LibDems (or others), but the Conservative Party has been in power since 2010. If mortgage rates continue to rise, there will be a backlash against the Conservative Party not seen even in 1997.

Another, and this time not very inventive “Jack Monroe” lie, that reporters and stray peasants are besieging her home. She must have lifted that from the life of van Gogh.

“Jack Monroe” is so patently fake that it defies belief, and a huge number of stupid mugs still fall for her nonsense.

Venn diagram of “Jack Monroe” mug-supporters: 1. comfortably-off Guardian-reading virtue-signalling naifs (mostly aged 55+); 2. the mentally-unwell; 3. the LGBTQXYZ crowd on Twitter.

“Jack Monroe” works on the —often-true— assumption that the public cannot check up on the veracity of her stories (mostly a pack of lies) and that most “journalists” (scribblers) are too lazy to check.

At least it is not radioactive, yet.

The Americans know that even a limited Russian nuclear strike on the US mainland would send their whole society into freefall. Many of their cities are already powder kegs ready to blow. Racial and social war is just below the surface.

Russia is winning the strategic war.

Amanda Solloway. Wouldn’t you know? This is her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Solloway.

In fact, a large amount of damaging material about Amanda Solloway has been removed from Wikipedia over the years, including that concerning her “dodgy” (possibly now “ex”) husband or “partner” and their business activities (his very existence is now expunged from that Wikipedia entry).

The Westminster monkeyhouse.

The whole corrupt shambles must be swept away.

As for the MPs, well…

There are real social-national political possibilities in the Republic of Ireland as it slides into becoming yet another multikulti dustbin.

A Schauspiel to bamboozle the masses. Figures on an electronic scoreboard such as the one by Times Square in New York: see https://www.usdebtclock.org/.

Meaningless, in the sense that, with a stroke of a pen, the “debt ceiling” is raised, and taken care of via a small increase in inflation, i.e. decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar.

What range can they achieve? 1,500 miles?

The former territories of Ukraine must be split— Russian or pro-Russian territories east of the Dnieper, in Crimea, and along the Black Sea littoral to Odessa and then west to Trans-Dniestria. The other territories west of the Dnieper, including —and run from— the city of Lvov, can become a rump Ukrainian state.

If I say so myself…

I happened to notice that the following blog post, from October 2022, has had a few hits today: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/10/20/diary-blog-20-october-2022/.

Among other comments made, I said in that blog post:

The System relies on complete or near-complete “control”, which was one reason there was such a massive campaign against Corbyn, spearheaded by the Jew-Zionist element.

Liz Truss, by reason of her sheer lack of ability, threatens System “stability”. She will, therefore, be removed, to put in place a (superficially) better Prime Minister-figure.

When Liz Truss became Prime Minister, I predicted the following, in such terms: that I would be “surprised” if her term lasted as long as the end of 2022, and “astonished” if she lasted as long as Spring 2023. One gold tick for this blog…

No wonder that journalists, MPs, ministers of foreign governments etc read this blog.

Well…so was I right, or not?

In fact, the resignation of Liz Truss happened later the very same day as the first two paragraphs of my above assessment. Things moved very fast; there was a degree of “groundrush”.

Ha ha! So speaketh a former (?) msm drone, one Peter Bale, who tweeted last year something which showed that he had no idea that Hugh Carleton Green and Hughie Green were not one and the same!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Greene;

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

Few under-30s or even under-40s will be voting for the Conservative Party. At the same time, many others in the <40 age group may not vote at all, given the pseudo-“centrist” but in fact extreme neo-liberal finance-capitalist direction now being taken by the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet.

Both System parties (and the LibDem false choice) are effectively the same in terms of overall real policy (not the soundbites issued for cheap point-scoring on TV etc).

The whole UK political system, including the electoral system, is a sham.

An old tweet, but well worth reposting.

That reminded me of the continued existence of Ghislaine “Maxwell”. Looking at Wikipedia, I saw that “In August 2022, her former lawyers sued Maxwell, alleging that she failed to pay $878,000 in legal fees.[157].”

The apple did not fall far from the (((tree))).

That idiot, Ben Wallace, is funnelling arms to Ukraine, at vast cost to the British taxpayer, at a time when the poorer type of British family cannot even heat its cramped little house, nor feed its children properly, and when nothing is working properly here.

That really is like something from films such as Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, or The Stepford Wives.

Exactly right, and that has been the case almost from the start of the conflict.
