Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 5/10 as against his 3/10, though I admit that my correct answer to question 1 was either a pure guess or something subliminal; I have never seen the show The Traitors. As well as question 1, I also got right the answers to questions 2, 6, 7, and 8.

“Tinker” types. Reading all those reports, it seems that most of the incarceration imposed was for offences other than the animal cruelty crimes.

Sentences for cruelty to animals are still ludicrously light in this country.

A sentence of 5 years or so really means release in about 2-3 years. Another defendant in the above case even got off with only a light “community penalty” despite having, inter alia, rammed a police car (read the reports, though not all of the reports agree exactly on the facts).

The penalties for offences of that sort (cruelty to animals) have to be revisited by Parliament, increased markedly, and the courts need to be firm in applying them.

All the same, most people in this country are kind to animals:

The backward few are a tiny minority, thank God.

“Ukraine – Here are the bodies of working class conscripted Ukrainian soldiers frozen to death. Last year, Zelenskyy’s wife spent close to 1 million euros in one shopping trip to Paris.”

The Ukraine-Russia war is closer to a civil war than to a normal inter-state war.

Is that Courchevel, the ski resort in the Alps? Seems to be. The caption says “Our Courchevel“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courchevel; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courchevel#Resort. The former “Courchevel 1850”, the most expensive of the linked Courchevel resorts.

As to the music, is it not Israeli?

For those revellers, snow is fun. It is different for the press-ganged soldiers of the Kiev regime, dying in the snow and ice of the front-lines.

Russia will and must prevail in Ukraine.

“Russia is advancing, and Ukraine is on the defensive – Austrian colonel.

Despite the military successes that Kiev constantly reports, Ukraine is now on the defensive, while Russia is actively advancing, Austrian Colonel Markus Reisner said in an interview with ZDF.

In his opinion, Moscow’s military successes are mainly due to the fact that it was able to significantly increase the production of ammunition. Now on the battlefield, the Russian side fires 10 thousand shells every day versus 2 thousand from the Ukrainian side.

Russia is trying to advance along the entire front, depleting Kiev’s already small reserves. “It could lead to a major breakthrough,” Reisner emphasized.

The colonel also expressed concerns about the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. He recalled that Russia is a nuclear power: “And it is unknown what could happen if it is driven into a corner.” Only “historians in retrospect” will be able to assess whether sending new types of weapons to Kiev would be correct or not.“

[ZDF (German TV) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZDF].

The Zelensky regime is living dangerously. If any significant damage is done to the major historical buildings of Petersburg or Moscow, Kiev will be flattened.

Selling-off public assets such as council houses was and remains a disastrous policy.

Anything other than real social nationalism is a waste of time (and probably a fraud).

Lammy is really ridiculous! Imagine running away from a (loud but harmless) young woman like that, instead of either standing still until the guards removed her or, more impressively, engaging with her and showing yourself to be a leader…

Lammy is an ignorant joke anyway:

…and there was more…

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lammy#Comments_attracting_criticism.

Pathetic, nicht wahr? Lammy poses as a legal expert because (and how many similar examples have I seen in or from the “black community”?) he took his degree in the UK and then took a “Master’s degree” (a one-year course that hardly anyone fails) at Harvard (after having become a barrister in England). He did about two years as a gopher in American law firms before returning to the UK. He was then elected to the London Assembly and, later (2000), at age 27, to the House of Commons, as MP for Tottenham, a seat where only blacks need apply (in reality)— “bandit country”.

Lammy has now been an MP for nearly 24 years, and has made the most of it (financially) for himself, while accomplishing precisely nothing for the UK or his own constituents.

Lammy loves black people so much that he…married a white woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green]…

Now Lammy is set fair to be appointed Secretary of State for Justice in a Starmer-led fake “Labour” Government after GE 2024. He is also a Privy Councillor.

Lammy knows that he has to kow-tow to Starmer and the Israel/Jewish lobby in order to keep his career going.

So there we have it— Britain 2024 in a nutshell: the triumph of ignorance, stupidity, and tick-box careerism.

Incidentally, looking at that Labour Party audience, most of the people there are almost all as old as those attending Conservative Party events. Mostly in their sixties and seventies. Both major System parties are dying. Most people want a real alternative, not this rigged pseudo-democratic false choice.

Morning thought

I noticed that the following blog post from over 6 years ago was looked at overnight by someone somewhere. It has in fact not been much read since I published it in December 2017, which (I think) is a pity. Still, “one human soul is a big audience“…

The General Shape of a Future Society

Tweets seen

That is OK, in principle, but Finland last year joined NATO, which has moved from being a mainly defensive alliance during the Cold War to its present expansionist and rather aggressive posture.

Israeli war crimes.

Hard to believe that anyone ever gave the likes of “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, or Theresa May any credibility; same for the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak. There it is, though. Winston Churchill said that belief in “democracy” only lasts as long as a 5-minute conversation with the average voter.

My thoughts about “democracy” from 5 years ago on the blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

Who are they trying to fool? As soon as he is kicked out, the little Indian money-juggler will be off, with his ultra-wealthy Indian heiress wife, to somewhere like Palo Alto or Bel-Air. Yes, he was born here, went to Winchester and then Oxford, but he has about as much in common with this country as Ali Bongo (the African one).

Partly-true, but the State could control pay if that were required (which I think it now is): set limits for pay, with exceptions for genuine inventor-entrepreneurs such as Dyson. People who are just executives could be restricted to somewhere around £500,000 a year (gross), or even as “little” as £200,000 (net). The same goes for the likes of TV presenters, footballers etc.

The vast majority of UK workers and others in this country (eg pensioners, disabled non-workers, unemployed etc) receive net pay and/or benefits of £25,000 p.a. or below. Even my own relatively modest income when a barrister (1991-2008), though sometimes (rarely, though, and expressed in the money of 2024) above £100,000 p.a., was often far far less (sometimes almost zero).

I do not think that many people will be sorry if the high-paid were to be restricted to a net income of, say, £200,000 p.a.

Unless, of course, the USA and EU take away Zelensky’s ricebowl and stop funnelling arms, ammo, and cash to Kiev. In that event, the war will grind to a halt in a few months.

Russia will prevail whatever is done or not done.

Israeli war crimes. Jewish terrorists.

Biden should not copy that. He would snuff it immediately.

When I had to leave behind (in France) almost my entire library of 2,000 or more books (in 2009, 14 years ago— long story), the loss felt catastrophic (and the books were not the whole of the story). Sometimes loss, whether voluntary or involuntary, cannot be avoided, and is a matter of Fate. Sometimes you have to stand before the blows of Fate, then move on, hardened in your resolve.

https://twitter.com/GoodwinMJ/status/1748358241958969803

Strategically, what really challenges the Conservative Party is not that Israel-puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc might form an “elected dictatorship” for 4-5 years starting in 2024, but the fact that, at present, only 10% of those under 50 intend to vote Con. As for those under 30, I do not have the figure to hand, but it is something like 4%.

At the same time, very few of the ethnic minority voters, even Indians, are intending to vote Con; also the ethnic minorities, at present about 20% of the voting public, may soon be 25% or even 30%. A large minority of those under 18 in the UK are already non-white.

That means that, even in the next decade, unless something very big and unexpected happens, the Con Party vote will not even be at 20% (where it now is) but more like 10% or so. LibDem level. UKIP (2015) level. Reform UK level. That is when the Con Party will probably fade out, except for a few outposts here and there. Around 2030.

“…He emphasized that of all the countries of the European Union, Germany made the biggest contribution to Ukraine, and now it is the turn of others.“

The Zelensky regime is toast. Ukrainians outside Ukraine refuse to return to fight for the corrupt, brutal and shambolic dictatorship, and there are few Western mercenaries still fighting; most have returned to their home countries, or have been killed in action, or captured.

“I think that Israel has suffered major setbacks in this period, setbacks in Gaza, setbacks internally. The West Bank is on a knife edge. There are problems that are developing there.

The government had a vote against it in the Supreme Court by one vote. And then it now faces a court case in the Hague accusing it of genocide.

It desperately needs some sort of victory. It needs something to bring people together…This prompts people to want to try and find some military outlet that will provide some sort of semblance, some sort of idea of a success,” Alastair Crooke told #NewRulesPodcast.”

So about twice the number of children killed or mutilated by the (Israeli) Jews since the conflict (this time around) started, in early October 2023.

That seems to indicate that the population growth in Gaza is about (?) 4% per year. Something like that, anyway. If that is true of the Arab populations of the West Bank and elsewhere in and around Israel/Palestine, the Jewish population will eventually be demographically swamped, and then quite likely wiped out or driven out…

When I was first in Qatar, in 2001 (when it was a far more pleasant, sleepy place), the American presence was already strong. As I was being driven across the airport tarmac in a limousine (because I was flying back to London in First Class), I noticed, parked next to my Qatar Airways plane, the American “Air Force Two”, which was (I later discovered) carrying General Colin Powell.

Good grief. Look at that lunatic…

A Dutchman, of all things, “warning” that “we” (the populations of NATO member states) are “preparing for a war with Russia“.

It strikes me as odd, a Dutchman fomenting war in this way. After all, the Netherlands was last a major power in the 18thC, 250-300 years ago.

The Netherlands was neutral in the First World War, neutral for the first 8 months of the Second World War, and then was invaded in May of 1940, an operation which took the forces of the German Reich precisely 4 days, on the fourth day of which invasion the Dutch forces formally surrendered.

Post-WW2, the Dutch military record continued on its tarnished way, e.g. the abandonment of the Bosnian Muslim civilians at Srebrenica: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre#6%E2%80%9311_July_1995:_Serb_takeover_of_Srebrenica.

Now some jumped-up Dutch mariner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer] seems to be cheerleading for a war with Russia, which would devastate our continent and much of the rest of the world. Madness. The bastard even admits that our way of life would change out of all recognition, and that civilians would have to be conscripted!

There seems to be a sinister agenda here, promoting a false narrative according to which Russia wants to invade Central and Eastern Europe. It’s rubbish. Indeed, the opposite is the case.

The old Soviet Union gradually lost its expansionist ideology in the 1980s, and the post-Soviet Russia has no expansionist ideology akin to Leninism.

Russia is nationalist in a defensive way, and even the Ukraine war can be seen as defensive, as being within the old imperial boundaries that existed long before the revolutionary upheavals of 1917.

Let us be clear. If there is a NATO-Russia war, among the first countries to be entirely wiped out by nuclear attack would be the UK (because of the American and other bases here) and the smaller states of NATO in Europe. The Netherlands would have no chance.

The UK should join with Russia, but the secretive Zionist and Masonic cabals that rule this country from behind the scenes are completely against any such idea. They stand ready to sacrifice the people of the UK to their evil NWO/ZOG plans.

The most important thing for the future of the world is that a core of people of white European humanity survive and are able to repopulate the world after any such disaster; indeed not only to repopulate the world but also to create the racial-cultural basis for a future superculture.

If the “preferences” of non-whites resident in the UK were not counted, that latter figure would be 0%.

The Jew-Zionists play it differently in France, the UK etc; there, they try to abuse laws of various kinds in order to repress free speech and freedom of expression, while trying to keep a stranglehold on the mainstream media.

The unfortunate population of Gaza suffers and suffers, while the Israeli and other Jew-Zionists mock their suffering in Tik-Tok and other online postings. “They” are laughing (so far).

The last time (the last major time, at least) that France gave (an entirely worthless) “security guarantee” was in March 1939: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Polish_alliance.

That went well…

Poland was then (September 1939) flattened by invasions from two sides, by the German Reich advancing from the west, and by the Red Army advancing from the east (with a few other little incursions in the south as well). France (and Britain) declared war on one invader-state only, the German Reich, and did not actually lift a finger to assist Poland directly.

Beware of “guarantees”, especially from France.

See also (about Macron’s strange background; first published here in 2019) https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

“The number of Albanians arriving on the small-boats rose sharply between 2020 and 2022, from 54 to 12,301, though is now beginning to fall. Yet at the same time the number of Indian nationals crossing has risen sharply, from not a single Indian in 2018 or 2019 to almost 700 last year.

Some suggest Indians are now the third-largest cohort of migrants crossing the Channel. There are currently more than 51,000 asylum-seekers living in hotels in Britain.

At the end of 2022, the total estimated one-year cost of asylum-related spending on hotel accommodation, asylum-related allowances, healthcare, and school places – along with supporting new bodies like the Small Boats Operational Command (SBOC) and a technical unit specialising in asylum applications by Albanians – is now estimated to be in the region of £3.5 billion.

Put another way, last year the UK government spent three and a half times more accommodating newcomers in hotels (£2.2 billion) than the £630 million spent tackling homelessness in the UK, or spent more money accommodating newcomers than it spent on the latest fund for Levelling-up the left behind regions outside of London (£2.1 billion).“

[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog].

In theory, there is almost no limit to the numbers who can claim “asylum” in the UK. The applicable law and rules were passed at a time or times when it was never envisaged that globalization and international disorder might result in huge populations, hundreds of millions of people, deciding to relocate en masse to Europe, including the UK.

If sceptics say, “it would never happen” (that hundreds of millions might strike out for the UK), the present migration-invasion (both “legal” and “illegal”) was never thought, by the average Joe, to be likely to happen, either. I can recall being ridiculed for suggesting that it might happen. That was in the 1970s. Look now…

Matt Goodwin, however, seems to be labouring under the misapprehension (let us politely call it that) that the System is simply incompetent, whereas in fact, amid the general incompetence of the Westminster Bubble types, there are secret and sinister plans afoot, and have been for decades: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

The continuing migration-invasion has already pretty much killed off, in most people, the pride in being British felt by most previous generations; it is also, right now, killing off what is left of the idea that the UK is “a nation” or a small group of 4-6 nations in one. It is killing off the Welfare State, the NHS, the idea that the average person without family money can buy a decent house or flat, and much else besides.

There will either be chaos or civil war, or both, by 2050 if not long before that date.

Is that surprising? Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel (as is Blair, whereas Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, and Liz Truss are all members of Conservative Friends of Israel. Not forgetting the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).

Starmer is of course married to a Jewish woman, a property lawyer: see https://www.tatler.com/article/the-rising-starmer-who-is-lady-victoria-starmer-tatler-january-2023-issue, and their children are being brought up as if full-Jew:

“It was her parents who instilled her Jewish faith and the Starmers have continued in that tradition.

Despite Sir Keir being an atheist, the family attend The Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St John’s Wood. A politico from the Jewish community tells me: ‘Keir has fully embraced Victoria’s Jewish practice.’ Their children are said to go to Cheder lessons at the synagogue, where young people learn about Judaism.

They uphold the Shabbat tradition of Friday-night dinners with family and friends as often as they can, even taking to Zoom prayers – read by Victoria’s father – during the pandemic. Invitations to these dinners are known to be ‘highly prized’…

Her faith may in fact turn out to be significant in a political sense. As to what her first official foray into politics might be, one Westminster insider suggests that it could be connected with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM): ‘Giving a speech to JLM would be quite an easy introduction because it is already the community she is part of.’

The group has approached Sir Keir’s office about Lady Starmer’s involvement. At the Labour Party’s annual conference in Liverpool last September, she went with Ruth Smeeth, who has since been nominated for a Labour peerage, and a small group from JLM to Liverpool Reform Synagogue to mark the first day of Jewish New Year.

Another Westminster insider says: ‘She has helped shape Keir’s understanding of anti-Semitism...”

[Tatler]

I disagree with calling any humans, or humanoids, “animals“. The animal kingdom already suffers so much from humanity, so I prefer not to add insult to injury.

On the “terrorism” point, though, Jews have been going from the UK, France, USA etc to Israel for training and indoctrination for decades. They stand ready to do whatever they are told to do.

Victor Ostrovsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ostrovsky] has said (and written) that MOSSAD and other Israeli Intelligence agencies maintain arms caches in all countries except the USA. So the arms (and explosives?) are already in the UK, as are those Jews who have received military and other training in Israel. Most if not all have UK passports and mostly dual nationality. A ready-made small army…

Is the Security Service complacent about all that? Complicit? The Government actually gives Jewish organizations British taxpayers’ money in order to “assist with security”. Is there any oversight? I doubt it.

Israeli war crimes, cheered on by (it seems, looking at Twitter/X and elsewhere) many, maybe most of the Jews currently resident in the UK, France, USA etc. That, at least, is my own impression (I concede that my conclusion is based on evidence anecdotal or unscientific).

Late tweets

“The Tories are failing to provide a serious & effective response to illegal migration while also losing control of legal migration. And now both will almost certainly soar to even higher levels under a Labour government, which has no serious plan for the former and does not care about the latter.

This will further erode public trust in politics, fuel division, cost more lives in the Channel, and undermine the legitimacy of the old politics.

The real losers in all this will be the British people who simply asked for what they were promised in 2016: control over their borders and much lower levels of immigration.

The end result –I suspect– will either be widespread apathy or the emergence of a new politics which finally takes this promise, and the British people, seriously.”

[Matt Goodwin]

First apathy, then perhaps, after the UK slides further into the mire, there may emerge, from the depths of the people, a new wave.

“Zelensky began to prepare Western public opinion for total mobilization in Ukraine and the extradition of Ukrainian men: “This is a matter of law and justice. If you are of mobilization age, according to Ukrainian law, you must be in Ukraine. It is a fact. And then you will fight or not fight. You will work.

Without the help of the US and EU, Ukraine will struggle, Ukraine will be weaker and this will be an opportunity for Russia to take over us. And as soon as they capture us, believe me, it will be a war between NATO and Russia.”

[Zelensky]

The Zelensky cabal seems to have accepted that, as things stand, Russia has the strategic or positional advantage.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/10/senior-tory-alicia-kearns-scathing-attack-bill-banning-public-bodies-boycotting-israel

“A senior Conservative MP launched a scathing attack on a controversial bill banning local councils from boycotting Israel, as eight Tories voted against the proposed legislation.

Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chair of the foreign affairs select committee, told the Guardian that the bill undermined free speech, went against international law and risked leaving the UK isolated on the global stage.

While the bill passed by 282 votes to 235, eight Conservative MPs voted against the legislation, which will cause some embarrassment to its chief supporter, Michael Gove.“

The 282 MPs who have voted for that bill are Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppets.

“The UK has some of the worst cancer survival rates in the developed world, according to new research.

Analysis of international data by the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce found that five-year survival rates for lung, liver, brain, oesophageal, pancreatic and stomach cancers in the UK are worse than in most comparable countries. On average, just 16% of UK patients live for five years with these cancers.

Out of 33 countries of comparable wealth and income levels, the UK ranks as low as 28th for five-year survival of both stomach and lung cancer, 26th for pancreatic cancer, 25th for brain cancer and 21st and 16th for liver and oesophageal cancers respectively.

The six cancers account for nearly half of all common cancer deaths in the UK and more than 90,000 people are diagnosed with one of them in Britain every year.“

Starmer is a weasel, an Israel-lobby puppet, a Jewish-lobby puppet, and nothing more, but the most important thing is to completely wipe out, if possible, the equally-“occupied” “Conservative” Party. It would be disastrous if more than about a hundred Con Party MPs were to survive the 2024 General Election. That would tend to validate the rigged pseudo-democratic System.

Every time Starmer opens his mouth, he reveals just how unfitted he is for the role of Prime Minister. Something that he has in common with the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

I am thinking maybe a loss of around 250-300 seats, leaving the Con Party as a (50-100 MP) rump party, on a similar though higher level to the LibDems (now with 15 MPs but maybe with 30 or more after the GE, thanks purely to a projected or possible collapse of the Con Party vote in the South of England as well as elsewhere).

Of course, the LibDems are a bad joke, but then look at the Con Party over the last 14 years or more…indeed, look at the “leaders” alone: David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

I should like to be able to dissent from that last sentence but really, and in all honesty, do not think that I can, unless some almost miraculous event, or series of events, so far unforeseen, can be a “pattern interrupt” on a grand scale.

My view too. There is a largely unspoken (to some degree unconscious) wish for real social nationalism, but there is no effective social-national party now active, partly because (((the usual suspects))) have squashed every attempt to get one into the air over the past half century or more.

Now no longer there— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones. The guiding thoughts seem all right, if unimaginative. Hard to see how they —apparently— excited so much hostility.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12944579/Female-firearms-officer-stripped-underwear-police-training-course-wins-sex-discrimination-case-against-force.html

“A former firearms officer who was stripped down to her underwear during a police training course was today awarded more than £820,000 after winning a sex discrimination case against her force.

The 40-year-old, who retired after 15 years in West Midlands Police on medical grounds, was awarded £30,000 by the tribunal for sex harassment and discrimination in November. 

At the time, Employment Judge Christopher Camp ruled that the former Detective Inspector should also be compensated for lost earnings and pension on the basis she would have retired as a Superintendent at 60.

At a hearing today in Birmingham to determine those figures, a judge ordered West Midlands Police to pay her a total of £820,720.“

[Daily Mail]

Absurd. Speculative, in that who is to say that she would have been further promoted anyway? Also, she left in her late thirties, so could have and can work elsewhere for about 20 years, I dare say, despite having been officially “medically retired“. Also, £800,000+, invested, can buy one or two houses, or be invested somewhere else, maybe bringing in around £80,000 p.a.

Several hundred thousand pounds should, in fairness, have been deducted from that total.

The name “Kalam” is of Indian/Pakistani Muslim origin.

I have to wonder about who exactly is being given, in effect, the power of life and death in the police these days.

Jan Gholami and his wife Roqia Ghulami have been on trial for the murder of Zahra Ghulami at their Gravesend home in May 2020.

In January 2019, Gholami applied for asylum for Ghulami from the UK, and she arrived with the children to join him.“

The police should start to take a far greater interest in the fraudulent activities of various online “grifters”, among which is numbered the said Simon Harris, an Essex Jew who has apparently been living off various scams for years; also, the now-notorious “Bootstrap Cook” known as “Jack Monroe” (aka Melissa Hadjicostas), another denizen of South Essex; “Supertanskiii”, unthinking Labour Party partisan whose modus operandi (similar to that of “Jack Monroe”) is to scream abuse at the present hapless and hopeless government (to dupe the donor-mugs) while taking in money under various guises; Julia Grace Patterson: similar, but uses her couple of years (and many years ago) working as a junior doctor to pose as “champion of the NHS” (while taking in monies).

“Something must have gone very badly wrong for @simonharris_mbd to receive £484k of taxpayers money from Essex County Council for performing broadly the same service as @jonmorter, the man who came up with the idea of Facebook-based Essex community groups in the first place, who received far, far less and was promptly shafted as a result.

It seems @kirstyocal and Essex County Council have many awkward and serious questions to answer about who knew what, when, and why so much taxpayer money was paid to one person in a deal that simply does not represent value for money for taxpayers.

Why did the council spend so much on a linked network of low-engagement Facebook pages and groups? What was Kirsty’s role in all this? Who approved the sign-off on expenditure? How was Simon selected as the service provider? Was this just pandemic-induced panic or something more serious? Why did it take regime change at the council for this to stop?

£484,000 at a time when councils are going bankrupt, cutting back services, increasing council tax, and struggling to cope. Absolutely astonishing.

If any journalists in my followers that I’ve not already spoken to would like to cover this story, I’m happy to provide them with everything I have so far.“

Hard to believe. Looks like the grifter has snaffled nearly half a million pounds of Essex taxpayers’ monies. Did he attend the same course (at Grifters’ College) as “Jack Monroe”?

Good grief. That area has changed out of all recognition since I last saw it decades ago.

Looking at the Moorfields Eye Hospital (on the left of that photo), I then took a look up City Road from there to the Angel, Islington, using my favourite Google Earth and Streetview.

The pub (was it The Sportsman, or maybe The Greyhound?), where half a dozen or so League of St. George members used to meet every (?Tuesday ?Wednesday) lunchtime back in 1977/1978, has gone.

I was unsure, looking at Google Streetview, exactly where it used to be but if memory serves it seems to have been replaced by a contemporary 2/3-storey apartment development of some kind). 45 years of urban landscape change.

Thinking back, that pub was an unaesthetic box shape, standing alone, and had probably itself been built over bomb-damaged houses (houses damaged in the early 1940s), sometime in the 1950s.

Not sure whether those gatherings could be called “happy days”, but certainly there was less in-your-face State repression of social-national people; the Jew-Zionist lobby’s infiltration into the “British” Establishment was less obvious, less blatant, in those days.

Recollections? I do not think anyone now, after 45 years, can be harmed if I use the names of those old LSG colleagues (some are no longer with us anyway).

I recall our Secretary, Mary Dowton, who was always there. I believe that she became, though many years later, a published writer on astrology.

Then there was the dark-bearded and amiable Steve Brady, who wrote the Heimdall column in League Review. Heimdall, of course, was the watchful Norse god who blew a horn and wielded a sword: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimdall]. Steve had served a prison sentence in the mid-1970s for writing the truth, though I do not know the details. His sentence, I think about a year in the end, had been served in Reading Prison (now derelict or redeveloped); previously and famously the temporary home of Oscar Wilde.

Another occasional attendee was Keith Thompson, who now has a Wikipedia page devoted to him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Thompson_(politician). Keith was a not-unpleasant character, whose wife disapproved of his political activities, I think. One day, I was talking to him on the telephone (he was at his home, I think in NW London somewhere), when I heard a loud slapping sound, and he went silent. The conversation then went something like this—

Me: “Hello? Hello?“

Keith: “Uh..uh…sorry, Ian. My wife has just slapped my face with a wet fish...”

A unique conversation, for sure…almost surrealistic.

Keith Thompson was or had been a fairly adventurous fellow who, after National Service sometime in the late 1950s or around 1960 (if so, he may have been one of the last few ever drafted) had travelled the world a bit, and had worked for a while in the uranium mines of Rum Jungle, in Australia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_Jungle,_Northern_Territory].

In more recent years, Keith Thompson was accused, I read somewhere, of having spied for Jew-Zionists. I have no idea whether that was the case. Pity if it was. He was always short of money, but then so have I been at various times, and no-one (whether official or Jew-Zionist) has ever asked me to spy (for money or any other reason). It would not suit me anyway. I am a believer…

There were others sometimes present at those pub “seminars” (or should we say, following Plato, “symposia”?) whose names I do not recall. A typical talking-shop, of course, rather than anything serious.

I had and still have my suspicions about who might have been reporting to MI5 or Special Branch 45 years ago, but no proof, just speculative analysis, and my lips remain sealed.

The League had its office near that pub, in a council flat the tenant of which was a League member who lived most of the time elsewhere but kept up the flat for the convenience of the League, though I think most LSG people never went there (The League used a P.O. box and/or a letter-forwarding service). I did visit once or twice, though fairly briefly. My memory, though still good, far better than almost anyone’s in fact, is not infallible, and I do not recall the exact address of that flat (not that it matters now either way); somewhere near that pub; just off the City Road, anyway. The flat probably got sold off privately in the 1980s or 1990s, and is now quite likely worth a million pounds, in the crazed London of 2024.

“US money goes to the yachts of Ukrainian ministers, but Washington does not want to admit it – Tucker Carlson.

Ukraine will not win, no matter how much money the United States pours into it, but Washington stubbornly refuses to acknowledge this fact, argues host and political commentator Tucker Carlson.

Moreover, if any politician dares to publicly talk about defeat or corruption in Ukraine, he is immediately subjected to a barrage of criticism: “And if they are angry, it means that you are telling the truth,” Tucker is sure. According to him, only the United States still ignores the fact that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, and Zelensky is “not the person who should be trusted with hundreds of billions of dollars.”

The American government must admit the truth and stop supporting Ukraine “as long as it takes,” the presenter is sure. This leads not only to the destruction of Ukraine, but also to the deterioration of the lives of Americans: instead of taking care of their people, the US authorities send billions of dollars to Kyiv so that “the next Zelensky minister can buy himself a bigger yacht.”

Quite.

As blogged many times previously, the people generally (the “moronic masses”, if you like) are being played by the “refugees welcome” dimwits and the overlapping social media (etc) virtue-signallers, and also by the political chancers, such as Rory Stewart (lives in a listed Scottish Borders house he inherited —on about a hundred acres— and in a London apartment or house), who favour mass immigration but will never have to deal personally with any of its negative consequences.

LibDems are just wastes of space. There may be exceptions, but I have not seen any. Ed Davey is only marginally better than was Jo Swinson, and she was rock-bottom in every respect.

Even the old Liberal Party was mostly ludicrous in the post-WW1 (let alone post-WW2) era, though Jo Grimond was an exception: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.

Incidentally, Grimond’s memoirs are worth reading: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memoirs-Jo-Grimond/dp/0434306002.

As to the LibDem chances in the upcoming 2024 General Election, I may be wrong but think them overestimated by commentators. Admittedly, many voters who despise the present Government and who see nothing in Starmer-Labour for which to vote may be looking for a protest vote, and some (those who do not favour Reform UK, the Green Party, or simple abstention may choose the LibDems, but I think not very many.

There are presently-Con seats where Labour has no chance, but where the LibDems often roll in second. Those seats may go LibDem, especially if Labour voters vote tactically. I cannot see the LibDems getting more than 10% overall (2019— 11.6%).

In both 2017 and 2015, the LibDems got below 8% after the years of Con Coalition. There is no possibility for the LibDems to revisit the 23% they achieved in 2010. “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time” [Abraham Lincoln].

However, what matters in UK Parliamentary politics is not the overall percentage, but the percentage concentrated in particular seats, which is why, in 2015, UKIP received 12.6% of the vote but only the one seat it already had, whereas the LibDems received a mere 7.9%, yet retained 8 MPs.

So it may yet be that, in the end, even on an overall 10%, the LibDems, who currently have only 15 MPs, will able to double or even treble their Commons strength.

Meanwhile, if Reform UK gets, nationwide, the same, or even 15%, it will probably end up still without any MPs.

The present pseudo-democratic system is a bad joke.

“Kiev’s air defense forces are exhausted, and the West is in no hurry to help – Financial Times.

In the absence of new tranches of military assistance from the United States and the European Union, Ukraine is increasingly concerned that Ukrainian military personnel and military and industrial facilities may be vulnerable to Russian airstrikes, writes the Financial Times.

As Russia intensifies its campaign to strike energy infrastructure and other targets in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky called on Western allies to approve new military aid packages to bolster Kyiv’s depleted air defense capabilities.

According to Zelensky, there are not enough air defense systems both on the battlefield and for the defense of targets in Ukrainian cities. Kiev admits that Russia “controls the sky.”

At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hope that Ukraine’s receipt of American-made F-16 fighters will put an end to the dominance of the Russian air force and help resume the counteroffensive, which has so far failed to achieve any significant successes.“

Not so many people want to be bothered by real problems, let alone real solutions. The masses want to be distracted by winning or losing sports games on the other side of the world, the latest soap trash on TV, the latest “reality” (unreality) TV show, or whatever.

Also, there are huge numbers of idiots virtue-signalling online or otherwise about how it is “kind” or “decent” to allow a million, or ten million migrant-invaders into the UK, or a hundred million if it comes to that. We have already had ten million, over 20+ years.

Those “virtue-signallers”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits etc are lacking the intellectual honesty to admit that that means the end of our basically decent European society, and the end of opportunities for most British people. It also means a housing crisis, a transport and roads crisis, a gradually-worsening NHS, gradually-sinking (in real terms) pay, State benefits, pensions etc, as well as educational standards falling through the floor.

Yet another example of the new “diversity” in our poor broken land…

We can expect even more of this sort of thing as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan takes greater hold: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12933351/Bank-worker-wins-490-000-payout-unfairly-dismissed-using-N-word-anti-racism-training-session-says-middle-aged-white-men-bottom-everything.html

“A bank manager who was unfairly sacked for seeking advice on what to do if he heard a black person using the N-word at work has won a £490,000 payout.

Father-of-two Carl Borg-Neal, 59, from Andover, Hampshire, raised the question during a Lloyds Bank race education training session on July 16, 2021, but in doing so inadvertently used the word in full himself. He apologised immediately.

It left the woman leading the exercise apparently so ‘badly distressed’ that she had to take a week off – a ‘key reason’ for the decision to dismiss Mr Borg-Neal for gross misconduct.

This week, he was awarded almost £500,000 in damages. Added to Lloyds’s legal costs and tax, the bank has a bill of nearly £1million.

The payout is the culmination of a two-year battle to clear his name after working for the bank and its affiliates for 30 years.

He told The Telegraph:  ‘I often wonder if I wasn’t a white middle-aged male would I have had to go through everything I went through. There is no way of telling. You are bottom of everything.’“

[Daily Mail]

Another example of the brainwashing that has accompanied the immigration-invasion of the past half-century or so.

Reading between the lines, it is pretty clear that the so called “diversity trainer” in the case was a black, probably West Indian.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/barbaric-abandoned-school-patients-teeth-31814954

“The Belchertown State School in Western Massachusetts, once described as ‘barbaric’ and ‘a hell hole,’ was a place of horror for its patients.

The school, which opened in 1922, housed around 700 students with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities…

…children naked, covered in urine, faeces, and food, with “maggots wriggling inside or crawling out of the infected ears of several helpless, profoundly r******d persons while they lay in their crib-beds.“

Reports suggest that many patients had their teeth removed by staff to make feeding easier.

In 1972, Judge Joseph Tauro of the Massachusetts District Court, unannounced, visited the school to verify Ricci’s accusations. He confirmed the awful conditions, even witnessing “a little girl drinking from a faeces-filled commode.” Tauro dubbed the facility “a hell hole”.”

[Daily Mirror]

Had that place been situated somewhere in Germany in the 1930s, we should still be hearing about it (and, of course, about the supposedly terrible “Nazis”) endlessly. In fact, situations such as Belcherwood were not uncommon in the West in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s etc; Belcherwood was as described at least until 1972, and closed only in 1992, albeit apparently after improvements had been made.

That place was not even in some poor state such as Mississippi, but in Massachusetts, the state so very proud of its liberal progressivist agendas.

History is rarely black-and-white, but many find that an uncomfortable idea.

The Israeli state has a large and well-equipped army and air force, but for how long could it fight on two or three, or four, fronts, as well as combat armed insurrection within its own borders?

The Jew Shapps is of course a bad joke politically, though I concede that he has some way to go before he reaches the levels of lunacy displayed by former Defence Secretaries Ben Wallace and Gavin Williamson: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

To what extent is the deliberate erasure of a people’s history “cultural genocide” or similar? Admittedly, an awkward phrase.

“The New York Times writes: “The Ukrainian Patriot air defense systems are working: there are chilling explosions and rays of light. America’s air defense systems have allowed Ukraine to defend itself against Russian attacks, but Washington has warned that it will not be able to support Ukraine in this way for long.”

Powerful “protection” of the Patriot air defense system and “blazing explosions” can be achieved by destroying its launchers. The United States can produce several hundred missiles a year, and the number used and destroyed in Ukraine is many times greater.

The United States is overwhelmed by the destruction of valuable missiles and systems in Ukraine and is trying as much as possible to keep new Patriots from being delivered to Ukraine, but sooner or later they will have to make a choice.“

[New York Times]

As noted previously on this blog, the demographic aspect is the most important. Ukraine’s population is not reproducing itself. Millions of women and children have fled across the borders, hundreds of thousands of men have been killed, badly wounded, or captured on the front-lines. Many men have also fled from Ukraine in order to avoid military service. Relatively few Ukrainian babies are being born. All of that leaves Ukraine a (failed) state without much of a future.

While I can understand that many do not wish to vote for no-ideas, Israel-lobby, “Labour” under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, it does surprise me that even 23% of the voters are apparently planning on voting for the surely totally discredited Conservative Party.

[Zeppelinfeld, Nuremberg, 1936; “Speer described the effect: “The feeling was of a vast room, with the beams serving as mighty pillars of infinitely light outer walls“.[7][3] The British Ambassador to Germany, Sir Neville Henderson, described it as “both solemn and beautiful… like being in a cathedral of ice“.[1] —Wikipedia]

That weasel Starmer, with his almost shamefaced (as well as shameful) self-serving lack of moral compass —albeit concealed behind a facade of faux-“decency”— reminds me very much of Cecil Parkinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Parkinson].

The little Indian money-juggler must be well-aware that most voters (even former Conservative voters) view the state of the country as terrible and getting worse.

If a general election is held “now” or soon, i.e. sometime in Spring 2024, the Conservative Party MP-cadre may be all but wiped out— possibly with only about 50 MPs left, though maybe 100 or, if Sunak is exceptionally lucky, 150.

If, on the other hand, the 2024 General Election is delayed until the winter of 2024, the state of the UK will almost inevitably be yet worse, and therefore the popularity of the (supposedly) governing Con Party will be even lower.

The usual stresses on NHS, transport etc will be even more severe, and the international situation may place greater stresses on the economy. Added to those factors, the migration-invasion will have continued for another year (nearly). On those premises, the Con Party may face not only the possibility but the probability that it will be reduced to something like 50 MPs.

It seems to me, therefore, that the GE will take place in late Summer or early Autumn, before the cold weather again arrives. So about 6-9 months from now. That gives time for Labour to make mistakes.

Even so, it seems unlikely (even in the “glorious uncertainty” of the UK electoral system) that the Conservative Party can hope for an MP-cadre much if at all higher than 100; certainly no more than 150. 150 would be bad for the Con Party (similar, though worse, to 1997 and 2001), whereas 100 or fewer would be seen as disastrous.

For me, perhaps for others in the social-national milieu, the main thing is to break the whole binary electoral system, which presents, every 4-5 years, a false choice to the electorate.

If the Conservative Party is trashed in the 2024 General Election, Labour will be able to form an elected dictatorship even worse than under Blair and Brown. That will lead to popular discontent (when it fails to address the several major challenges facing the UK), with the people even more eager to embrace a new way forward under a new political party or movement, and with the small rump Conservative Party having no credibility as an alternative government.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12924343/las-Vegas-judge-attacked-courtroom-Mary-Kay-holthus.html.

“A Las Vegas judge was pounced on and attacked by a criminal during a hearing after she denied him bail.

Judge Mary Kay Holthus from the Clark County District Court was mid-sentencing when convicted criminal Deobra Delone Redden launched at her on Wednesday morning.

Video footage shows the wild moment Redden leaped out from where he was standing and hopped into the judge’s bench to tackle her.“

[Daily Mail]

Ha ha! Not that I myself would do the same (regular readers of the blog will know that I recently joined the convict classes, having made the mistake of thinking that England still had left at least some free speech or freedom of expression).

The American incident reported upon above reminds me of another incident, which happened when I was a Bar pupil (trainee barrister). That must have been in 1992.

The case involved two West Indians alleged to have robbed a petrol station in NW London, using a machete. They had been arrested the same evening, not very long afterwards, in the (alleged) getaway car.

There were oddities in the evidence. The car had been searched following the stop. No money or weapons had been found. Later, at the police station, a further search revealed a wad of cash. A week later, a further search “discovered” a container full of coins (allegedly from the filling station) and a machete. The allegation from the defendants was that everything had been planted.

My pupilmaster represented one defendant, about 6 ft 6 inches and massively built. A little twerp I recalled from the Inns of Court School of Law (“Bar School”) represented the other defendant, a menacing dreadlocked type calling to mind the drug-crazed “Mai Mulele” rebels of the Congo of the mid-1960s (see https://www.nytimes.com/1964/05/31/archives/rebels-in-congo-disdain-bullets-150-die-as-incantation-fails-to.html).

In fact, though I did not know said little twerp barrister, I recognized him, having been on the Bar Finals course with him (and hundreds of others) in 1987-88. I however had gone to the USA a while after that, so had not been Called to the (English) Bar until 1991; I also qualified at and was Admitted to the Bar of the State of New York.

All this took place at Wood Green Crown Court. As a Bar pupil, in 1992, I was there fairly frequently.

[Wood Green Crown Court, North London]

Both defendants were in custody, having been refused bail prior to trial.

The evidence against the defendants was non-existent, save for that “found” in the car. There was no cctv evidence, no fingerprint evidence, no DNA evidence (this was in 1992, and such evidence was still in its infancy). The (apparently) diminutive Indian cashier in the petrol station had been terrified, and gave no testimony. Neither did the defendants.

Despite the paucity of evidence, the jury came back with “Guilty” verdicts. There was a moment of silence. A member of the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad then gave the judge a rundown of the previous most relevant convictions of the defendants. The judge knew most of that already, as did Counsel, but of course the jury did not. There were gasps as the long list of increasingly-serious convictions was read out, topped finally by the information that the defendants still faced another upcoming trial in which they would stand accused (at the Old Bailey) of conspiring to rob building society branches, armed with sawn-off shotguns.

The judge listened patiently while, for 20 minutes, little twerp barrister attempted to mitigate. My pupilmaster declined to attempt any mitigation. The judge then sentenced the two to exactly the same term— 5 years each.

Another moment of silence preceded an explosion from the dock (behind us) as the defendants shouted out (to the jury) “YOU DOGS! YOU FUCKING WHITE DOGS!“.

The jury members (in fact not all white, there being one black woman and at least one Indian) quailed; I thought that one woman jury member might faint or cry out, though she bravely sat it out. The little twerp Counsel looked nervously over his shoulder, as did my pupilmaster. I had also looked round as the outburst had happened, but now pretended to be writing (in order to seem stoic, I think, pointless and perhaps ludicrous as that was).

The defendants then tried to fight their way out of and over the dock. The judge pressed his concealed button but stayed seated. His face was that “Judicial Livid” (red/purple) that I later saw once or twice at the High Court when a judge did not wholly appreciate my argument…

After a lot of banging, thudding, and swearing, the defendants were subdued by the two prison guards accompanying them. Other court security people then entered the courtroom. The defendants were taken down (to the cells below).

Just a day in the life, as they say.

Diary Blog, Boxing Day, 2023, including thoughts on the Ukraine conflict after nearly two years

Leave a comment

Morning music

[El Greco, The Disrobing of Christ]

Ukraine/Russia

The forces of the Kiev regime may be able to launch missile attacks such as that on a Crimean port overnight, but the bigger picture is that the Kiev regime’s summer counter-offensive got nowhere and achieved nothing, that the Kiev-regime forces are rapidly running out of ammunition despite huge shipments from USA, UK etc, and that the Kiev regime is now very short of recruits, having to employ ever-more persistent press-gangs; Kiev is now asking EU states to repatriate Ukrainians living in the EU, so that the repatriated people can be put straight into uniform.

Russia is upgrading its heavy weaponry, building ever-more tanks, planes, and missiles. The summer of 2024 may see a general Russian advance which will overwhelm the ragged and exhausted Kiev-regime defences in Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Even if that does not happen, the Kiev-regime forces cannot themselves advance. They have not the arms, ammunition, or men with which to do that. Their best possibility is to hold the line where it is.

The transnational conspiracy has had its support for the Zelensky regime sidetracked by the Gaza conflict; that is especially true of the USA. Zelensky and his cabal may be able to ban opposition parties, to arrest those opposed to war with Russia, to ban trade unions, and to refuse to hold elections, but what the Zelensky group cannot to is magic into existence more soldiers, more arms, and more ammunition.

The foreign mercenaries and other volunteers have mostly gone home now, those not captured or killed. The Kiev regime now seems to be paying mercenaries from countries with low living standards, such as Peru. Their pay is low. Still, you get what you pay for, quite often.

I doubt that many “contract soldiers”, even from regions such as South America, will now be applying to become casualty statistics in the Kiev regime’s failing war.

My assessment is that Russia is biding its time. That may mean no 2024 offensive (though, to the contrary, one may be launched in order to demoralize the all-important backers and “generous” suppliers of the Kiev regime in the EU and North America).

In the USA, the Presidential election may bring to power a President hostile to more support for the Zelensky regime. Trump is only the main possibility; there are others. Likewise in the EU. “Populist” parties are in the ascendant. Most do not want to funnel endless taxpayer funding to the ungrateful and failing Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

The conflict in the Palestine/Israel region, which has now spread southward to the Red Sea, is already impacting EU trade lines.

Economically, Russia is thriving, overall. While the West generally, and especially the EU, is faltering economically, Russia is doing fairly well. As I predicted 18+ months ago, the sanctions imposed have forced Russia to both diversify and to find other suppliers of food and raw materials. Sanctions rarely have huge, certainly not decisive effect anyway. I myself saw that when, aged 20, I was in Rhodesia (in 1977).

Ukraine (Kiev regime) is, by contrast, not thriving; it only keeps going by reason of the money and other support and aid supplied from outside. Its agriculture is finding export difficult, and some markets closed or restricted. The industrial sector is running at a low level. Electricity supplies are interrupted, and gas supplies more so.

In the long run, what will sink Ukraine as a state (failed state) is the very low birth-rate, combined with the huge numbers of Ukrainians now living in a number of EU states and elsewhere. In the short-term, the ranks of the army are not being replaced.

Russia will win (in Eastern Ukraine), and the NWO will retreat.

Very late. I have been commenting on that for at least a year.

WEF. NWO. ZOG. Whatever. All masks for the creatures of Evil.

Looking at the bigger picture, this is but one of the terrible consequences of decolonization in Africa (etc) from the 1950s through to the 1970s. That process was itself a consequence of the disaster of WW2 and the even more disastrous defeat of the German Reich.

Who now —save for the ignorant and/or brainwashed— can doubt that the post-WW2 ending of European rule over Africa has resulted in war, civil wars, degradation of the environment, and misery for the Africans themselves, as well as irreparable loss of wildlife and tree cover?

Hard to understand why Nadine Dorries was on a quiz show, except for the fact that, though any money won goes to a chosen charity, the contestants are paid (how much, I do not know; I presume somewhere around £1,000).

I cannot now recall the exact questions asked of Nadine Dorries, but she knew very few of the answers, and was quickly knocked out. Her ignorance was, even for a cynic such as myself, almost beyond belief.

The above experience once more led to thoughts of how MPs now really are the bottom of the barrel. Compare them to the better type of MP from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. Jo Grimond, the one-time Liberal leader, for example. A very erudite man who had also served in WW2 as an officer, and been a barrister. His memoirs are well worth reading, incidentally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.

Not that I agree with all of his views, and the same would be even more true of Denis Healey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Healey], but these people had character, depth, real erudition, and were not simply self-serving careerists.

Compare them to (ex-MP) Nadine Dorries, to “Boris” Johnson, to Corbyn, to Keir Starmer, to Jo Swinson (a later LibDem leader of sorts), to Liz Truss, to Sunak, Matt Hancock etc… Among many many others.

Hard to know now where the bottom of the barrel actually is. Liz Truss? Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng)? Stella Creasy? Jess Phillips? That is even before you travel to darkest MP-dom, to the realms of (another ex-MP) Fiona Onasanya, Dawn Butler etc. See, for example, https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/21/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-fiona-onasanya-story/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/07/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-jess-phillips-story/.

Whatever method is chosen for selecting or electing MPs, Cabinet and other ministers etc, is of secondary importance. Prime importance must be given to the quality of those selected. In darker moments, I tend to think that the fall in overall quality of MPs just reflects the decline and/or degeneration of the society from which they have emerged.

Incidentally, on that Celebrity Chase show, Nadine Dorries claimed that she was the only MP not claiming expenses (in fact, she just meant certain “personal” expenses). Also, that she was campaigning to end MP expenses! The presenter was too polite (or short of time) to retort that she had already been caught actually cheating on her expenses several times, and had only just escaped prosecution: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries#Expenses_claims.

Zionism and Jews in the UK

Look at the tweet below, from the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]:

Yet we constantly see or hear, from Jew-Zionist “activists” (troublemakers), that Jews in the UK have nothing to do with Israel or what Israel is now doing to the people of Gaza…

We also see or hear that “criticism of Israel is legitimate, but any criticism of Jews is ‘antisemitic’ and (they claim) not legitimate“.

The “CAA’s” own survey indicates that at least 80% of Jews in the UK are content to accept the label “Zionist”, and that no less than 88% of them feel “personally connected” to whatever is happening in Israel.

Also, note the derogatory term “gentilesplaining“: in other words, non-Jews cannot say anything about Jews (but Jews can —and do— say the most insulting things about British and other European cultures and peoples).

Late tweets

So…Tel Aviv, Dimona and (?)…

“China has become the leading economy, Russia has become the largest economy in Europe, already breathing behind Japan in the race for fourth place. And Asian economies have seriously moved up the ladder.

India has taken third place, Indonesia has climbed to seventh place and soon will start attacking Germany’s position, which is currently sixth,” said Maxim Oreshkin, assistant to the Russian president, in an interview with “Expert” magazine.

In his words, the United States of America is killing the European economy, adding that “as soon as they finish cannibalizing their European partners, they will focus on the Asian market.”

“Retired US Army officer: We cannot say no to Israel because Israel is our master. At the peak of helplessness, the United States is looking for a solution to the Yemen problem.

Yemen has been bombed by military aircraft since 2014. Did you think that the Yemenis would be afraid of so many American warplanes?

If Iran starts this war, the world economy, especially the economy of Western countries, will suffer. Biden needs to wake up from his sleep, this problem is bigger than the US.

Iran has many missiles and could bring death and destruction to Americans like they haven’t seen since World War II.”

Late thought about Ukraine

UK television news full of the Kiev-regime attack on the Russian ship, and saying that Russia is losing the battle in the Black Sea. Well, the Kiev regime no longer has a navy at all.

Naturally, the loss of a large ship, even a supply ship, is very bad but, the very same day, Russian forces took what is left of the city of Mariinka in the Donbass. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67820916.

That is where the war is happening, on the ground in Eastern Ukraine. Russia is slowly winning there.

As for the attack on the ship, already the biased commentators on Sky News etc are heralding the dawn of a Kiev-regime strategic advantage in the Black Sea which does not exist.

In the final analysis, and if push came to shove, Russia could totally flatten Kiev and all other cities of Ukraine, if the leadership were so to decide. What is stopping that is firstly, that Moscow and Kiev were the centrepieces of Russian life for many centuries and, secondly, the fact that Russia is slowly winning this war.

Russia, though, is still one of the two main nuclear powers, and also has awesome conventional destructive capability. In extremis, that power could be unleashed. Kiev should be talking to Moscow about redrawing borders.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week one of my poorest scores ever, a miserable 3/10. Political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (with 6/10), a rare occurrence indeed. I only knew the answers to questions 5, 7, and 10.

Much of the “counter-terror” stuff in the UK is a fake, and a cover for repression of opinion unwanted by and disapproved by the System, or by special-interest groups such as —and mainly— the Jew-Zionist cabals (malicious nuisances such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a kind of volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in the UK).

More “trans” nonsense. Why are so few people, even now, pointing out the sheer oddness of the fact that an absolute tidal wave of this stuff has crashed over the UK in, mainly, the past few years? What is happening? What is being encouraged to happen? What is behind it all?

I do not say “never believe the experts“, but the fact is that they (and, more so yet, scribblers pretending to be expert) are usually wrong, especially when they try to predict the future, or when unexpected events happen.

Examples? Professor Lindemann [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Lindemann,_1st_Viscount_Cherwell], Churchill’s scientific guru, thought that rockets as weapons could never work unless huge and propelled by solid fuel. Shortly after that, the V-1 and then V-2 rockets started to explode in and around London and elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket.

The recent “Covid” “panicdemic” showed up ignorance of the supposed experts of the so-called SAGE committee (I called it “DUMB”— Department Under Matt and Boris).

There are, actually hundreds of similar examples, especially if you move from scientific-milieu examples to those of politics and economics. Lenin thought that the Bolsheviks would come to power when the 1905 “Revolution” (uprising) was taking place. Wrong… and Lenin did not think that the Tsarist state of Russia would fall as a result of the first (Spring) Revolution of 1917. Wrong again…

Probably a poor-looking place even before the destruction, but these were people’s homes, now blasted by some of the war crimes of the Israeli military machine.

At first, I myself believed that the 2022 devastation in Bucha (a small township or suburb very close to, or effectively part of, Kiev) was a real event, albeit one committed by poorly-disciplined allies of Russia (Chechens etc). It is claimed that hundreds of civilians were killed and/or tortured.

Now, I wonder whether it ever happened at all (as reported). The much-photographed devastation seems to have been mainly in one small section of a single street; burnt-out Russian vehicles, destroyed single-storey houses etc. Hard to get to the truth. It may lie somewhere in the middle.

She seems to be mentally disturbed, and/or perhaps a drug-abuser. God help the USA (and Europe) if that crazed woman becomes U.S. President.

Her Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley] contains a couple of interesting facts. Turns out that she is an Indian (Sikh), and that her personal wealth, estimated at USD $1M in 2018, had jumped to USD $8M only 2-3 years later, in 2021. How?

Quite right.

Laugh of the day?

Saw a tweet from a tweeter claiming that “Hitler was a great failure“. So tweeted a professed fortune-teller [“I read tarot cards with numerology, & zodiac signs“] with exactly two Twitter/X followers and who is following 91 others…

Laugh of the day? Maybe; maybe just unconscious irony of the day…

In fact, I think I see what that tweeter was getting at with his comment, but think also that I shall not comment further on it today…

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12896277/Vietnamese-restaurant-killed-300-cats-month-make-cat-soup-closes-good.html.

“A restaurant that drowned three hundred cats a month to fuel Vietnam’s cruel meat trade has been closed for good.

The Gia Bảo restaurant in Thai Nguyen city, in the country’s northeast, ran a lucrative trade selling cats, likely including stolen pets, drowned in a bucket one after another.

For five years, Pham Quoc Doanh, 37, ran the establishment after struggling to feed his family selling ‘other normal food and drinks’.

‘It was then I tried selling cat meat since there was no other available restaurant serving this in the area,’ he told Metro.

Doanh reached out to the Humane Society International, campaigning to ban the trade in Vietnam, who offered him a one-time grant to set up a grocery store instead.

On December 6, he symbolically tore down the banners outside his slaughterhouse and restaurant and began a new life. 

‘For a while now I have felt a genuine desire to leave the cruel cat meat business and switch to something else as soon as possible. When I think of all the thousands of cats I’ve slaughtered and served up here over the years, it’s upsetting,’ he said.

‘Cat theft is so common in Vietnam that I know many of the cats sold here were someone’s loved family companion, and I feel very sorry about that.’

An estimated one million cats are killed each year for their meat in Vietnam, according to the charity – despite 71 per cent of the population favouring a ban.“

[Daily Mail]

Well, my opinion of Vietnam has never been very high (I admit that I have never actually been there), but at least 71% of the population apparently want this trade banned, and they do seem (from what I read today) to be taking steps in the right direction.

I get the impression at least that the Far Eastern countries are evolving in their treatment of and attitude to animals. Hopeful signs abound.

“Zelensky’s Office called for making it more difficult to legalize Ukrainians abroad in order to return them to Ukraine.

Advisor to the head of the Office, Mikhail Podolyak, believes that the 5 million Ukrainians who fled the country with the beginning of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization received too favorable conditions to remain in the West forever.

He admitted that Kyiv is interested in bringing them back and giving them the opportunity to “repay their debt to the state.“

Question(s) of definition…
