Well, this week brings another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10. My score was 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, 9, and 10.

[“More victims of Israel’s war crimes. This child was wounded in an air strike on a tent. No parents with her, meaning her family was killed. THE KILLING OR MAIMING OF BABIES IS NOT A COLLATERAL DAMAGE. IT IS AN ISRAELI POLICY. Listen to what former head of the military intelligence directorate said in a recording leaked just today. He said that israel should kill 50 Palestinians for each israeli killed on 10/7, even if these Palestinians were kids. Listen to what israeli ministers and knesset members say. Some want to eliminate Palestinian babies. Listen to religious leaders too: Rabbi Eliyahu Mali “Today he is a baby, tomorrow he is a fighter … whoever comes to kill you … also includes the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce the future generation (women of Gaza)” And the whole fu**ing world is not stopping them.“]
The UK (government and people) should be cracking down at least on Israel’s diplomatic representation in this country and, most importantly, on the Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals which are facilitating Israeli war crimes; organizations such as the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and its unpleasant spokespersons such as “Slitherman”.
Is that so surprising? There has been a gradual takeover of the USA (especially political life, publishing, TV/radio, film industry legal system) by “them”; over a century or more, but especially since the 1970s.
It is at its most obvious, arguably, in respect of American politicians, the bought-and-paid-for Ted Cruz or Huckabee type.

If Montgomerie thinks that Putin looks comical or inadequate, what must he have thought of Britain’s pygmy “national leaders”? Starmer-stein, somewhere between an irrelevance and a national embarrassment; the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, who stands about 5 ft nothing; Liz Truss, thick as two short planks, quite uneducated, and who only became an MP in the first place on her back; Boris-idiot, the part-Jew chancer and self-promoter, who always pretended to some kind of great classical erudition but whose real knowledge of anything and everything is very very shallow; Theresa May, another partly-Jewish one, formerly a back-room nobody in the direct-debit and cheque-clearing organization, BACS; David Cameron-Levita, partly-Jewish, again, and whose Libyan misadventure has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe. All of those…
Incidentally, all of those noted are or were in the pocket of the Israel lobby.
Matthew you talk absolute nonsense Their is a two tier system & we all know it Ricky Jones should have gone to prison for what he said & the gesture he made as well The only person who is humiliating themselves is you with your statement & stupidity
That tweeter/commentator, Stadlen, a half-Jew, takes every opportunity to attack those fighting against the migration-invasion of this country.
As to the “jury’s verdict” in the Ricky Jones case, it was plainly perverse, plainly political or socio-political and, as I noted yesterday on the blog, probably the result of a largely or entirely non-white jury, and/or one containing jurors motivated by socio-political bias.
In fact, once society becomes fragmented, the jury system no longer works properly, at least in “political” cases. That is what happened in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Juries were biased either towards or against defendants, bias based on perceived community allegiances, or were subject to intimidation. Thus it became necessary to institute “Diplock courts”, in which a judge sat without a jury:
A friend of mine, a barrister, once saw a Diplock court in action in Belfast, sometime in the 1980s (invited to see it by a barrister he knew from that region). He told me it was strange to enter a typical old-style British courtroom, all wooden panelling, bewigged judge and Counsel etc, but no jury. As well as the usual court staff, usher etc, a couple of policemen standing guard, and armed with submachineguns.
In the case before that court, a man stood accused of being a member of one of the paramilitary organizations (I forget which one). My friend recounting this to me said that the impression was that of a kangaroo court, but in fact the judge, on consideration of all the evidence, acquitted the defendant at the end.
A number of (real) British people have been imprisoned for race/politics offences in recent years, after juries convicted them; Jez Turner, and Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), to name but two. Time for Brits on juries to start acquitting those standing up for European race, culture and civilization.

Consider just a few statistics which reveal how Reformers see the world:
70% say the economy is ‘rigged to advantage the rich and powerful’.
84% say the ‘traditional parties don’t care about people like me’.
81% say ‘the experts don’t understand the lives of people like me’.…
As for “experts“, many of those in the political/social/economic affairs milieu posing as expert have an agenda, whether hidden or otherwise.

Britain is little better, these days. The influence of Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby orgs is pervasive, not only in politics but also in the mass media, law, and other areas of society.
Stunning. Translates to about 394 MPs for Reform UK, an official majority of 68, in reality about 80.
Labour 83 MPs (the lowest predicted in recent times, I believe; in 1931, Labour scored only 52 MPs). Labour’s predicted 83 MPs result is all the more stunning following Starmer-Labour’s 411 MPs, elected only a year ago, at GE 2024.
LibDems are predicted to get 56 MPs, Cons 43, SNP 40, Greens 8 (etc).
As I have been saying for years on the blog, we in the UK, particularly in England, are in a negative-voting situation, in which people vote against, not for.
It just so happens that both the main System parties have pretty much burned their boats with the voting public. That does not mean that people really enthuse much about Reform UK and Farage etc. It means, simply, that most white English people, especially, are now completely hostile to both Lab and Con. They are willing to vote Reform as a last throw of the “democratic” dice. If —and when— Reform govern, or try to govern, and fail, then the people will be ready to turn to a proper social national alternative.
This puts Farage and Reform in a strong position. Because people are well aware that Farage and Reform and, indeed, most Reform candidates, MPs etc, are rather underwhelming, little scandal can really touch them, because the voters seem now very ready to vote against both Lab and Con, and because Reform is the only game in town that carries any weight at present, electorally.
📈NEW POST📈
Why are so many people in the UK abandoning the establishment for @Nigel_Farage & Reform?
A huge new survey of 4,000 Reformers shows why
➡️They are utterly sick and tired of BOTH illegal and legal mass immigration
I agree, overall. However, the pro-Reform vote is really, and as Goodwin’s own argument shows, a vote against the System parties and against mass immigration, inter alia. It is not really a vote for any particular policy programme.
Not that that really matters in electoral terms. If it comes to pass, that poll means that 328 Labour MPs will be binned in or before 2029, as will 77 Conservative Party MPs (including Alex Burghart, James Cleverly, Dunce Duncan Smith, Christopher Chope, Mel Stride, Simon Hoare, Helen Whately, David Davis, Caroline Dineage, Kit Malthouse, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne, Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy, Andrew Mitchell, Katie Lam, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and, last but not least, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch herself).
If it happens, that must mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious political force, notwithstanding its long history and the predicted bloc of 43 surviving the cull of two-thirds of the Con Party MPs.
Even now, in 2025, the Conservative Party appears totally irrelevant.
The predicted huge cull of Labour MPs would include such names as Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst (one of the most “controlled” Israel puppets), John McDonnell, Bridget Phillipson, Wes Streeting, Rachel “from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Chris Bryant, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Heidi Alexander, Angela Eagle, Lisa Nandy, and Emma Reynolds.
Many deserving “victims” there, most of them Israel-lobby puppets.
The emotional response to this verdict is understandable but will we ever find out why the jury decided not guilty?
Any barrister, at least any barrister grounded in reality (I myself am no longer any kind of barrister, a wrongful and unlawful disbarment having been instigated by a pack of Jews in 2016), can tell you why a jury has acquitted that anti-white black agitator who called openly in the street for white British people to have their throats cut.
The chances are that the jury was mainly or entirely composed of non-whites. I used to appear from time to time at Snaresbrook Crown Court in the early 1990s and, in 1992, as a Bar pupil (trainee), was there several times a month, my pupillage having been part-criminal.
Even in the 1990s, the juries at Snaresbrook were often, in fact usually, at least partly non-white. Scroll on about 32 or 33 years and one can imagine that that is now even more the case.
Add to that the fact that many jurors in London are now people who are quite opposed to “law and order” generally (and that applies even more to Snaresbrook Crown Court, the catchment area for jurors of which being East London; Snaresbrook has a relatively high acquittal rate).
Remember the O.J. Simpson original trial in California? Despite the American msm bs (I was in the USA at the time), the fact is that the defence, shorn of a huge amount of (mostly) nonsense, amounted to “the victim was white, the defendant black, so the black jury should acquit the black of killing the white“. Which is what happened.
“From an original jury pool of 40 percent white, 28 percent black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 15 percent Asian, the final jury for the trial had ten women and two men, of whom nine were black, two white, and one Hispanic.” [Wikipedia].
…and look at all those white English people, many of them women, weak “me-too” idiots, clapping as the untermensch incited throat-slitting British people. They should all be in a concentration camp, as should the untermensch.
100% 💯 ! Kallas, von der Leyen, Merz, …..we have to arrest them.
That is the sort of brainless bimbo we are expected to accept should rule over us via the EU or other supra-national body. Another one is the former Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, a complete idiot. Both puppets of NWO/ZOG, of course.

I used to go occasionally to the very small (and now shut down by reason of spending cuts) Penzance County Court about 18-23 years ago. I think the last case I did there was about the loss, and valuation, of a rather expensive diamond ring.
This is going to be absolute chaos in the courts, because the judicial review deciding whether the ban of Palestine Action is lawful isn't being heard until November
What are courts supposed to do if people start running defences that they were arrested on an unlawful basis?
In any case, a judicial review has the quasi-automatic consequence that criminal or civil cases likely to be affected by the outcome are stayed until the judicial review (and any appeal from the decision therefrom) is decided.
It would be good were reporters, journalists etc to know a little basic law before they start to comment.

The irrelevance of the Conservative Party is plainly seen there. Despite Starmer-stein having a disapproval rating of 60%, and Kemi Badenoch having one of “only” 35%, when it comes to positive approval, the two are both down in the trough of public esteem: Starmer 23%, Kemi Badenoch 24%. Indeed, fewer people actively disapprove of Kemi Badenoch (35%) than disapprove of Farage (41%), but when it comes to positive approval, Farage, on 37%, easily outpaces Kemi Badenoch’s 24%.
41% of people are unsure as to whether they approve or disapprove of Kemi Badenoch, a sure sign that she has made little impression on the public (and it can be seen that what impression she has made is mostly not favourable). By contrast, only 22% of the public are “unsure” about Farage— people either approve or disapprove of him, in almost equal numbers.
People are even more sure about Starmer. Only 17% are “unsure” about him, but 60% disapprove of him.

Quite simple. 14 years of total maladministration and misgovernment finished the Conservative Party with most of the electorate, though 3 out of every 12 voters who voted (3 out of every 20 eligible) still voted Con in 2024 (Labour had 4 out of 20 or 4 out of 12). Most of those Con voters were over 60 years of age, many over 80. They have mostly now gone to Reform UK, and many are expiring daily by reason of old age etc. The next general election may not be until 2029; how many habitual Con voters will have expired by then?
The young (anyone under 30, indeed the vast majority under 40) will not be voting Con. Most of the ethnic minority (rapidly becoming majority) voters prefer Labour or other parties. So who is left?
Yvette is my Labour hero but this is a cock-up. Proscribing PA is both ridiculous – they’re not terrorists – and a red rag to a bull encouraging many more on to the streets, apparently all to be arrested! We don’t have the police or cell space to do it and what a waste of time &…
Once again, the “snake in the grass” here is the Jewish-Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, which has most of the politicians of the two main System parties (and Reform, too, it seems) in its pocket. The (((lobby))) wants many many organizations banned or prosecuted; it wants many individuals prosecuted, too (they have already tried it with me: see below:
Strange that that former Conservative Party tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms (her ex-husband was Conservative Party MP for Poole until 2024; he lost by a mere 18 votes; and she worked for him, paid generously out of her ex-husband’s MP expenses) thinks that (of all people) Yvette Cooper is to be admired. Nein danke! Yvette Cooper is a would-be dictator, very dishonest, a moneygrubber and expenses cheat (as was her husband, Ed Balls), and a “refugees welcome” dimwit to boot! Also, like all of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet —except a few servile Muslims— a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

The full clip is yet worse. Nasty & arrogant now, nasty & arrogant young. Her comms are a disaster but how do you spin the mess she creates every time she opens her mouth.
Short-sighted Con voters in some parts of England have, in the past couple of decades, shown themselves willing, in my view very wrongly, to vote for non-Europeans such as Kemi Badenoch as their constituency MP, so long as the right party label is affixed. Putting promises of low taxation etc above racial or national pride. That has led to the brainless Conservatives imagining that the country as a whole will vote, in effect, for a party led by a non-white MP. Very misguided. Look at Sunak.
True, that was not the only factor that sank the Conservatives at GE2024, but it was one important factor. Sunak was, in that sense, more “electable” than Kemi Badenoch. After all, people look at Indians en masse and see business, at least some organizational skills and, in Sunak’s case, a UK upbringing. Added to that, the vast wealth of his wife’s family and so his own wealth, meaning that, whether rightly or wrongly, he is at least perceived to be “in it” not for personal money reasons. Compare that to Kemi Badenoch, a loudmouth careerist carpetbagger.
Most Brits, not unfairly, look at Nigeria and see chaotic maladministration, corruption even worse than that of India, and nothing at all to admire. Kemi Badenoch was not even brought up in the UK. Her parents made sure that she was born in London, so that (under the law as it then was, in 1980) she could later claim a British passport, but she was only in the UK for a few days before being returned to Nigeria. She lived there and in the USA until at least age 16.
For those who say that Kemi Badenoch is scarcely a typical Nigerian, well, yes. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in effect (not an exact quotation), “the rich are different from you and me; they have more money“.
Yes, Kemi Badenoch is not a typical Nigerian. I have known a few like her, such as the Nigerian princess with whom I was acquainted in the mid/late 1980s, and whose (much older) husband was a Federal High Court judge in Nigeria. However, the basic model is still there, not far under the surface. (if anyone is interested, that Nigerian princess was shot dead in her luxury apartment in Lagos , nearly 30 years ago; Lagos is a rather dangerous place).
I just cannot believe that the British public will vote for a Prime Minister who is a Nigerian woman. The very idea, at least to me, is utterly farcical.
When you add to that her abrasive personality etc, you see how disastrous Kemi Badenoch is for the Conservative Party, which looks increasingly irrelevant.
No, don’t resign. Stay in place, dragging down your double salary (MP + ministerial) plus expenses, and making money out of being an exploitative private landlady. That will help to sink Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel government even faster.
Anyone who has had to deal with the chaotic crazy mess called “HMRC” will be familiar with the term “Kafka-esque“. I am glad to say that my interaction with them ceased some 13-14 years ago (in relation to matters now 20-40 years in the past). I found it hard to believe, at the time, that such chaotic maladministration could exist in this country.
[incidentally…internet definitions of “Kafka-esque“:
“extremely unpleasant, frightening, and confusing, and similar to situations described in the novels of Franz Kafka: He is caught up in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. The urban landscape is invested with a nightmarish, Kafkaesque bleakness.”
and/or
“Synonyms of Kafkaesque:
surreal.
unusual.
irrational.
illogical.
strange.
unreasonable.
weird.
misleading.“
From what I read in newspapers, HMRC has not improved much, if at all, since they decided to engage in dialogue with me 13-18 years ago.
Translates to about 414 Reform UK MPs, 94 Labour, 54 LibDems, 37 SNP, Cons 21.
That would be a Commons majority greater than that of Starmer in 2024, and almost as great as that of Blair in 1997. Prior to that, very large majorities were achieved in the early 1930s, in the 1920s, and by Earl Grey’s government of 1832. All times of sweeping change.
Of course, 32% of the popular vote is not huge in historical terms, but is about what Starmer-Labour gathered-in in 2024. It hardly matters that your vote is “only” 32% if your main opponents are getting 20% and 16%.

I wonder whether the fanatically pro-Israel Jew-Zionists of the UK (etc), such as those malicious abusers of the English legal system, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are listening?
Incidentally, I see that lying perjurer Gideon Falter, the head or figurehead of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was allowed to publish a fairly long opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. The horrible little bastard had the sheer gall to write about the small number of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that they now look like Jews starved in German camps at the end of the Second World War.
That at a time when an Arab Palestinian population in the many hundreds of thousands, including huge numbers of civilians (many of them children), is being deliberately starved to death in Gaza by the (Israeli) Jews, a para-military campaign backed to the hilt by (non-Israeli) Jews such as Falter.
As a matter of fact, I should not be surprised if Falter, effectively an agent of influence of a foreign power, Israel, is not an Israeli passport-holder himself, perhaps a dual Israel/UK passport-holder (maybe even a triple passport-holder (Israel/UK/Austria).
I accept that the hostages in Gaza should be released, but the Palestinians have been pushed to the genocidal brink, and have few chips to play.
Israel should also release its own prisoners, of course. Some of them have also been brutalized and starved.

Owner of Camelot Castle Hotel John Mappin fumes at the state of illegal migration into the UK and the Government's apparent lack of urgency to act on it. pic.twitter.com/nW0fQgWF7d
I once stayed overnight at Mappin’s hotel, a Victorian castle hotel at Tintagel, North Cornwall, the one-time seat of King Arthur. In late 2001; December 2001. It was not really run properly as “an hotel” should be; I believe that, since then, it has been taken in hand by Mappin, the heir to a very considerable fortune (think Mappin & Webb, the jewellers). I just read today that he bought it in 1999.
When I was there, it was hugely atmospheric, like a decayed private castle, an effect emphasized by the fact that my wife and I were the only guests, and the staff, in the evening at least, consisted of a not terribly welcoming middleaged Englishman and his (possibly Austrian) wife. I recall that our rather cold room (I think it may have had a four-poster, and an ancient bar fire set into the wall) cost £200 a night, quite expensive in the money of 24 years ago. Akin maybe to £400+ today.
I well recall, after eating informally at a local pub in the nearby village (no restaurant open then at the Castle), being seated before a Hollywood-film-scale blazing fire in the Great Hall, and being served a double or triple Irish whiskey, the absence of other guests making it seem as if we were in our own home (or castle).
In the morning, a very pleasant and very rickety old retainer-woman served breakfast in a long gallery, her tiny grandchild hanging onto her skirts, as the Cornish winter waves crashed onto the rocks below, as in Rebecca.
Memorable.
I blogged, years ago, about our stay. The Castle once played host to many of the rich and famous, especially in the years before the First World War. Composers such as Arnold Bax, and Elgar (who wrote much of his Second Symphony in the very room in which we were staying): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._2_(Elgar)#Extra-musical_considerations.
Good to see that Mappin is awake to at least part of the problem in the UK, but he is so very careful to push the “peaceful” protest idea— writing to MPs, becoming a candidate in elections etc. Yes but no but…

Gallup: Most Ukrainians want negotiations as a way to end the war
According to a Gallup agency survey, 69% of Ukrainians now support ending the war through negotiations. Only 24% want the fight to continue "until victory" – the lowest percentage so far.
“Ukraine” (Kiev regime) “fighting until it wins the war” is now impossible. It always was, even if “victory” means merely taking over the oblasti of Crimea, Lugansk, and Donetsk (rather than any capture of the territory of pre-2014 Russia or destruction of the Russian armies in the field).
Reality has now been accepted by the vast majority of Ukrainians, and I expect that a majority would now accept Russian rule over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
“A new civil service internship scheme will be open only to working-class students as part of a drive to make Whitehall better reflect the country, the government has said.
The programme will give students from lower-income backgrounds the chance to apply for paid government placements. The definition of working class will be based on what jobs were held by their parents when the applicant was 14 and replaces an existing programme open to all.
The Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said the action was being taken because applicants from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were less likely to get a place on the so-called fast stream.“
[Guardian]
As with several of the policies unveiled by Starmer-stein’s government, one can only shake the head at the sheer wrongheadedness of it.
It is a wrongful policy for several reasons, one of which is that it is likely to encourage blacks and browns to rule, probably incompetently, over the UK.

Without Western aid, “Ukraine” (the Kiev-regime state) could not even exist. US/EU/UK aid not only supplies arms, ammunition, armoured transport etc, but also pays for the ordinary (if shambolic) quasi-state administration (and, of course, vast sums stashed by Zelensky’s cabal offshore).
Meanwhile, US, EU, and UK taxpayers suffer because huge sums are being diverted to the Kiev regime.

“Baroness” Deech, a Jew-Zionist academic now elevated to the House of Lords, headed the Bar Standards Board, or BSB, when “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], of which she was also a member, complained about my socio-political views, in or about 2014.
The “baroness” was still, I believe, the head of the BSB when the decision was taken to haul me before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal, though by the time the “trial” took place, in 2016, she had been replaced by another mouthpiece for Israel and the Jewish lobby, a retired diplomat who had been involved in recovering property allegedly confiscated from Jews in mainland Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.
In other words, the Jewish/pro-Jewish influence on the BSB meant that the decision to “prosecute” me was flawed ab initio, being totally unobjective; biased.
I made those points at my Tribunal hearing in late 2016, but the chairman of the panel, a retired circuit judge, refused to take them as particularly significant, though he described my overall “case” as “unprecedented.”
Incidentally, the malicious Jewish cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] was also involved in conspiring to get me disbarred, behind the scenes, though the actual complaint was formally signed off by yet another “UKLFI” (etc) Jewish barrister (of whom I had never heard), one Goldberg, now about 80 and apparently once Counsel for, inter alia, the infamous part-Jew gangsters, the Krays.
“Baroness” Deech is or was also a leading member or supporter of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”…

Good news; long overdue they are a public nuisance at best.
[“BREAKING: The UK Charity Commission is now investigating the charitable wing of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), following a complaint from CAGE International. CAGE submitted the complaint last month against both UKLFI and the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA). The Charity Commission confirmed the investigation last week. The complaint detailed how UKLFI and CAA have helped egitimise Israel’s racist, apartheid and genocidal policies. It also states both groups have been making malicious complaints to universities, employers, and regulatory bodies to silence pro-Palestinian voices. These actions have caused serious harm to individuals. The Charity Commission must end the charity cover used to provide an advocacy infrastructure in support of genocide. To find out more about UKLFI and CAA, read our report Britain’s Apartheid Apologists: https://cage.ngo/product/report-britain-s-apartheid-apologists.“]

Very true, but why leave out Cameron-Levita? Think facilitation of the fall of Gaddafi in Libya (which has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe, certainly from Africa), and the demonization of the sick, disabled, unemployed etc (which admittedly started under Blair and Brown but was 10x worse under Cameron-Levita).
In fact, Brown was not much better, for all his fake “great brain” grandstanding.
As for Blair, he may have thought he knew what do do with power, but most, maybe 80%, of what he did was wrongheaded: PFI contracts, the deliberate importation of non-Europeans in large numbers, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the explosion in prices in the residential property sector etc.

Trump gave Zelensky a warning to negotiate with Russia, a warning not only verbal but given in real-life terms, by temporarily cutting off arms and ammunition. If Zelensky ignores the warning, shipments will again be interrupted, and may never restart.
Zelensky’s unwillingness to give Russia most of what it wants means that the war will continue until Russia prevails over all eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), and that will eventually happen even if American armaments continue to be gifted to the Kiev regime.
This blog has always said that peace must be, and really can only be, on the basis below:
Russia to rule Ukraine east of the Dnieper;
Russia to rule Crimea;
Russia to rule the littoral of the Sea of Azov, and the littoral of the Black Sea as far west as Odessa;
Kiev and Odessa to be either “open cities”, i.e. neutral and ruled by their own inhabitants, or with co-dominium status, ruled jointly by Russia and a Ukrainian government based in Lvov.
And let’s not forget that the Jewish supremacist terrorists of the Irgun booby-trapped the bodies of the soldiers.

This goes well beyond “a pound of flesh“, with or without blood.
It is certainly arguable (for a number of reasons) that Hamas should not have attacked areas of southern Israel in 2023. However, Israeli retaliation went from being somewhat proportionate, in the first few days after that incursion, to being both disproportionate and then utterly brutal after that.
Later, Israeli-Jewish brutality became really just a kind of State-organized sadism, which then morphed into, effectively, attempted genocide of the entire Palestinian Arab population in Gaza. Daily bombing and machinegunning (etc) of civilians, deliberate withholding of medical aid, destruction of hospitals, an embargo on food, the deliberate starvation of children and others, and the planned deportation or slaughter of the entire population.
Incredibly, the Israelis (and the Jews outside Israel that support Israel, and suborned puppets such as Starmer and other UK political and msm souls-for-hire) are still whining about what Germans and others are supposed to have done to some Jews in Europe and Russia, mainly in the early 1940s, 80-85 years ago.

Even 6 months ago, the Jewish government of Israel (occupied Palestine) was describing this as a mere and “antisemitic” conspiracy theory. Well, here we are and it seems as if, like so many “antisemitic” “conspiracy theories” and/or “tropes”, this one is, in a word, true.
Looks as if the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza is going to be either entirely killed off or (the survivors) moved God-knows-where into desert camps. It is like a reverse engineer of the foundation myth of the (original) Jews: from the land of milk and honey to a barren desert, possibly in the Sinai Peninsula.
Jewish “human rights” lawyers (of which there are many) will no doubt continue to claim that what the Jews of Israel are doing to the Gazan population is “not genocide“, but that kind of discussion is really akin to the mediaeval Scholastics debating as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
One might add that the Jew-Zionist fanatics outside Israel/Palestine, in the UK and elsewhere, themselves claim that as many as 95% of Jews in the UK, France etc support Israel, and that most of those Jews support what the Israeli government has done, is doing, and plans to do in Gaza and other parts of Palestine still inhabited mainly by Arab populations.
“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas)— latest
I missed this, from 2 months ago:
Almost a year after the whole Jack Monroe debacle began, our nightmare is finally over, and we can make a new start #jackmonroepic.twitter.com/sh6KSobQwg
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that, several years ago, when I first mentioned “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, I was fairly neutral, even slightly sympathetic to her. As I found out more about her, about her entirely invented “backstory”, and about how she had lied about almost everything to do with her life and work, I became more critical.
I also discovered that “Jack Monroe” was making thousands of pounds monthly, indeed tens of thousands at times, from hundreds of well-meaning mugs, who were sending her regular donations via the Patreon website. That was in addition to TV, radio, and other appearance fees, book advances and royalties, and money gathered in from other mugs online on the premise that she was going to sue various public figures, such as the MP Lee Anderson.
The above can all be found via the search box on the blog.
Look at that tweet above. “Jack Monroe”, who frequently extracted money from mugs by claiming to be starving, near-homeless, unable to feed her child (who was, in any event, apparently not looked after by her anyway, most of the time), was (despite vast sums having, so to speak, gone up her nose or down her throat) able to offer the vendor of the said property £157,000 in cash.
Look also at how she is, it is said, now working in some (well-remunerated?) role at Southend Council (Essex). Her father, a Greek Cypriot by origin, was a senior fire officer in Essex, and once got her a job answering calls, before she discovered how easy it was to get many times the money from mugs as an outright fraud. Her father is or was also a property rental-owner of some significance in that town, and may be (presumed but I do not know for sure) a freemason. Join the dots.
Essex, particularly South Essex, is a bit of a “rotten borough” in some ways. The County Council was cheated out of £600,000 by a Jew called Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”) a few years ago. Neither he nor “Jack Monroe” have ever been brought to book for their “grifting” and worse.

I made the same points on the blog, and some months in advance of the above…
Many people seem to —shall I say, politely?— echo the blog content in their own online commentaries.
The first tweeter was right, though. “Jack Monroe” is now recognized by most people as a fraud, a con-woman and a total fantasist whose recipes are themselves a fraud, poor in terms of nutrition, far more expensive than claimed, and often looking like a dog’s dinner. All of which I started to notice years ago. What was not so years ago is that the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing has now been dropped by the msm. Only complete mugs now give “Jack Monroe” any credence whatever.

[“NEW POST. I’ve just returned to Britain from Hungary, where I spent a few days giving talks to students, politicians, and members of the public. Whenever you mention Hungary among a certain group in London —think SW1 Westminster, the BBC, Financial Times, Oxbridge—people tend to lose their minds. ‘Hungary!?’ they say, ‘you mean that rather odd country in Eastern Europe that’s very conservative and falling out with everybody in the European Union!?” I first experienced this reaction last summer when, amid the Southport atrocities, I dared to point out that the country I was visiting and which Western elites like to criticise —a very stable, a very secure, and a very peaceful Hungary—looked utterly different to the country I was returning to. Because unlike Hungary, Britain was on fire. Widespread rioting and protests after the Southport atrocity had become an unavoidable symbol of intense public concern about things that are only significant in Hungary because they are absent —mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, and the murder of children by the descendants of recent immigrants. Nonetheless, my mere suggestion that perhaps Hungary has got some things right that Britain has got badly wrong generated an incredibly hostile response from British elites, reflecting an arrogance and snobbishness that is rife among that class. Indeed, for much of the last fifteen years there’s been an assumption among elites in Britain that something has gone ‘badly wrong’ with Hungary. But based on what I witnessed and was asked at events last week, I’m here to tell you that the opposite is true. Because as far as many Hungarians are concerned, it is Britain, it is England, it is us, who got things badly wrong, who made a series of disastrous policy choices they are determined to avoid, and who are, in the words of one person I encountered, “losing our country”.”]
I certainly enjoyed my week or so in Hungary (about 24 years ago), when I stayed for about 3 days at Szeged (having driven from Turkey through Bulgaria and Romania) and then about 4 days by Lake Balaton.
Bonkers Britain just peaked with the sight of Uniparty politicians congratulating themselves after selling off our national assets to Chinese communists who ran them into the ground, leaving us on the brink of becoming the only G7 nation that cannot make its own steel while also…

In any case, were there ever a real military attack from (presumably) Russia (a conflict with which would be mad from the UK point of view— it would finish this country forever, probably), one of the first places to be attacked and eliminated (possibly by Spetsnaz attack, prior to the launch of any missile) would be Fylingdales itself.
On the wider aspects, while those working in such establishments may be fed the line that they are protecting the UK from attack and/or invasion, the reality is that the UK society those soldiers think they are protecting is decaying from within, and being invaded daily by literally thousands of migrant-invaders, both “legally” and “illegally”, and by births to non-white mothers within the UK.
UK society is changing, and being poisoned, before our very eyes.
Translation: what, really, are they protecting?
The euro is above 1.14, trading at its highest level in over three years. The dollar has lost 5.5% of its value against the euro since Liberation Day. That means buying European imports will now cost Americans 15.5% more. 10% for the tariffs and 5.5% due to dollar depreciation.
…meaning that only the wealthier Americans will be buying imports from the EU (that is largely the case anyway, of course).

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face.
Conservative Friends of Israel drone Gove, drunk and on cocaine at Westminster. A total enemy of the people; he should be punished, not rewarded.
One of the 5 tweets that (after the Jewish lobby pushed for it) got me disbarred in 2016 was that calling Gove a snivelling expenses cheat in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby. True facts. I (like most people) was unaware at that time (around 2012) that Gove was also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser.
Another of those 5 tweets was that calling Nicolas Sarkozy a corrupt little Jew. I was partly wrong there (he is only a half-Jew). Sarkozy has of course now been found guilty in a French court of corruption, alongside other Jews.
All my famous or (according to the Jewish lobby) infamous “5 tweets” (posted online between 2010 and 2014) have now been proven to have been true in almost every particular.
Incidentally, in more recent years, the Bar Standards Board wrote to me inviting me to have the disbarment annulled and a “rehearing” take place, mainly because I should never have been tried by a 5-person panel but only by a 3-person panel (which would have had no power to disbar), but I declined, partly because I was already well over 60 and unlikely to resume Bar practice, partly to show my contempt for the Bar (which is now a craven, multikulti dustbin afraid of its own shadow and especially the shadow of the Jewish/Israel lobby).
In other words, had I taken up that suggestion, I should by now have been reinstated as both barrister and —perhaps more useful to me— as a member of Lincoln’s Inn (a pleasant place for a lunch or dinner when in London). Still, I have no regrets, none of importance anyway.

Not (yet) quite the view I have been putting on the blog for the past three years, i.e. Russia to take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, as well as a wide coastal strip from the Dnieper as far as a point west of Odessa. Kiev and Odessa to be free cities (either autonomous or jointly-controlled). The rest of Ukraine west of the Dnieper to be ruled by a Ukrainian administration based in Lvov.
I think that the above formulation by me would be fair, and could form the basis for a lasting, if not very friendly, peace.
The Kellogg plan is frankly not as good as mine. It involves British and French forces effectively working with those of the Kiev regime on the ground, and has every likelihood of entangling the Western forces in conflict with Russia, directly.
Russia will never accept that plan anyway.
In any case, from the British point of view, why should we be involved at all? Ukraine has only been a supposed state for 34 years, and Britain has no historical connection with Ukraine, nor any national interest in getting directly involved.
The bottom line, though, is that Russia will never accept such a plan.
This week, another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 2/10, but I trumped that with 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 10. In the back of my mind, I might have got a few more, but there it is.

"Since Keir Starmer and Labour came to power last July, nearly 30,000 illegal migrants have arrived on some 542 small boats.

Of course, Allison Pearson might be listened to more if she ditched her apparent support for the evil and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy, in effect, and which is the worst anti-free-speech org in the country (see my own experiences, detailed above).
Lucy Connolly's appeal isn't until the 15th of May, 10 months after her tweet, remind me how quickly the former Labour MP @MikeAmesburyMP , who beat the shit out of a constituent and was only jailed for 10 weeks, took to get an appeal.
That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.
However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).
Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).
The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.
In any case, there is really very little difference between what Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall etc are doing and what the “Conservative” governments since 2010 did.

“She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.
[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]
The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.
Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.
“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.”

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.
“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”
A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.“

…and, surprise surprise, she was not black, not even brown…
Remember the “woke” fakery around “Cheddar Man” a decade ago, and the (later disproven) claim that he was (and so ancient Britons generally were) of “black” race? Or the assertions by Mary Beard and others that some of the Roman soldiers in Britain were “black”?
At least no-one has tried to impose more such ideologically-driven fakery on this new material.
