Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 6, and 9.

[“The reason Substacks and new media are thriving is because millions of people are utterly sick of the same liberal centrist dross being served up and shoved down our throats —from the BBC to much of the MSM—and then presented as some kind of “insight” when, in reality, it reflects the worldview of a 5-10% elite minority who still think we are living in 1997 and have failed to see that, actually, people don’t want liberalism on steroids. This elite minority is filled with people who went to the same schools, the same universities, who all basically think the same, live in the same postcodes, and are so obsessed with conforming to the Groupthink or their own social status that they never come close to representing or understanding the wider country. The only thing they want to do is maintain a dismal status-quo that was largely built by this elite class to serve the interests of this elite class. You can criticise me, that’s fine, but this is also why we are now one of the largest independent politics newsletters in the West (http://mattgoodwin.org), and why many others are also emerging, because people see through the Blob and they’ve had enough of it. Because they are the ones having to live with the reality of what this elite class has done to the country —an elite class that now also has the gall to say “yes we get your concerns but don’t be too annoyed/we don’t like your tone”. Do you see how utterly deluded large parts to legacy media now look to everybody else? Look for example at the stuff your own paper has been pushing on immigration. It is so obviously biased and disconnected from the mounting pile of evidence that it is embarrassing to read and, even worse, the reason you won’t change your tune is because you view the truth as “low status” and everybody can see it. Do you have one columnist, a single columnist, who genuinely reflects the mood of the average voter right now? Nope. Hence why the Tories are collapsing. Hence why legacy media is haemorrhaging viewers and listeners. Hence why liberal centrists (sorry, “conservatives”) are sitting around, scratching their heads, wondering why nobody is interested in them anymore. Still, the failures of MSM are what is driving the success of new media and the realignment of politics so keep doing what you’re doing …“]

The “rubber boat” invaders are only 5% of the overall problem; indeed, if births to non-Europeans are taken into account, even less.
I think that the British people have largely made up their collective mind: Farage and Reform are slightly underwhelming, but are the only game in town to vote for in order to hit out at the System parties that have done so much damage. Everyone now knows that, at every by-election, and every local election, from now until the next general election, and then at that general election, the way to stamp on both Lab and Con is to vote Reform.
The Reform vote at the next general election will probably be between 30% and 45%, and even the 30% level will be enough to sink Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel regime.

I shall be interested and amused to see the progress, if any, of the new party being set up by Corbyn and the comedic-named Zara Sultana. I am told that about a quarter of Labour members will join, defecting from Starmer-Labour. A quarter of members, maybe, but I apprehend that only about a tenth of Labour voters, if that, will defect at the next general election. At present, official Labour is registering about 20%-28% in the opinion polls. That seems to put Corbyn-Labour on maybe 2% or 3%. I doubt that Corbyn’s new party will attract more than 10% of the entire election vote; maybe 5%. Even 10% may not result in more than one or two MPs. Corbyn himself, and maybe Ms. Sultana, in both of whose constituencies the vote may be more concentrated.

The recent Israeli attack on Iran has no doubt convinced any waverers in Iran that the only meaningful defence against Israeli aggression is to match the Israeli Jews in nuclear capability. Israel has created its own nemesis, as in a Greek tragedy.
One could also imagine Iran employing fleets of drones to exhaust the Israeli air defence shield, then using hundreds, even —in a future year— thousands of powerful conventional-warhead missiles, to overwhelm the remaining Israeli defences and to level the Dimona nuclear site, the Ben-Gurion airport, and Tel Aviv itself, without even having to use nuclear weapons.
Of course, Iran is a long way from Israel (at least 1,200 miles border to border), far beyond the flying distance of most drones at present, though some of the most advanced ones being used in the Ukraine war can reach about 600 miles.
Time will tell, but I think that Israel is doomed.

Why the Epping decision matters
The people have triumphed over the establishment and have now been given a very clear message
If you peacefully protest, if you mobilise, if you organise, if make your voice heard, you will bring about change
Not so sure about that. The protests may be at present mostly “peaceful” but the pressure on government comes from the fear that they may well become not-“peaceful”.
In any case, even if all the hotels are closed, the migrant-invaders will not be eliminated but will simply be hidden in the multikulti trash “communities” which now scar much of Britain. The taxpayers will pay out for either social housing or expensive private housing for the invaders.
Local councils hosting the most "dispersal asylum accommodation" aka HMOs:
[“Liberal commentators like Nelson and Finkelstein are guilty of what philosophers call the moralistic fallacy – the belief that something *cannot* be true simply because it would be morally undesirable if it were. Let’s take their objections one by one: (1) No one is claiming that every illegal migrant is a sex offender. The debate concerns specific cohorts of young men from particular countries and the *higher* statistical risks they bring, not blanket slurs on every individual. Pretending otherwise is a cheap straw man. (2) The phrase “whipping up protest mobs” is dishonest and demagogic. Protest is a democratic right, and the anti-migrant hotel demonstrators are overwhelmingly decent, peaceful, and diverse in background. If anything, these protests are moral, given that successive governments have refused to repeal the Human Rights Act or reopen detention centres… the very measures needed to deliver on their own manifesto promises. (3) No one is “thrilled” by the prospect of ethnic violence. Quite the opposite. The idea fills many of us – myself included, and academics like David Betz – with dread. It is not something we want to happen. But intellectual honesty demands that we take the risk seriously rather than banish it to the realm of taboo. (4) The claim that white Britons face harsher treatment in the courts is a subject that needs proper academic inquiry. But the grooming gangs scandal already provide enough evidence to suggest a form of two-tier justice exists. Columnists like Finkelstein just can’t adapt to the demographic and political realities staring them in the face. They’re stuck in a New Labour/Cameron-era timewarp, clinging to scripts the public has long since stopped buying. They remind me of that tragicomic band Crème Brulee from The League of Gentlemen – especially Les McQueen, forever trapped in nostalgia, boring anyone within earshot with tales of his glory days.”]
This is utterly insane. 15,000 people came to the UK last year on a study visa and then applied for asylum.
The higher education and asylum systems in this country are simply not fit for purpose.
🚨 111,084 asylum claims in just 12 months 🚨 Labour’s first year in power = the highest in history. That’s a brand-new city the size of Exeter — created overnight, without your consent.
The cost? 🏘 British families & veterans pushed aside while migrants get housing 🏥 NHS…
In any case, the “rubber boats” invasion is only about 5% of the overall migration problem, which consists of cross-Channel rubber-boat invaders, “students”, “fiancees”, “family members”, fake “tourists”, “key workers” (mostly low-pay employees) and, last but not least, births (to immigrant mothers, to mothers whose parents were immigrants, and to white British women who have been impregnated by non-whites).
Eventually, the future will have to be faced; mass immigration and migration invasion is not the whole of it, though an important part of it. It is also cultural, social, and economic.
I agree. The judge who allowed himself to be “nod-and-wink” told to pass a truly Draconian sentence, as Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper wanted, thus showed himself unfit to sit in the seat of judgment.
On the blog yesterday, I highlighted the case of two South London thugs convicted a day or two ago of (in one incident) serious theft, grievous or actual (I forget) bodily harm using fists, feet, and a baseball bat, and serious criminal damage (wrecking a car), the victims being a man in his 50s and a pregnant woman.
Incredibly, the judge in that London case gave the defendants (one having serious previous convictions) a suspended sentence, plus a bit of unpaid picking up of litter etc, and rather modest compensation (probably will never be paid). Why? Mainly because (the judge said) the prisons are full to bursting; also because the defendants might be able to access some kind of anger-management bs.
Incidentally, Lucy Connolly may now be “free”, and able to return to her unwell husband and two small children, but will still have to undergo the boredom and silliness of being under probation supervision bs for another 22 months!
Incidentally, that poll would translate into a Commons with no less than 434 Reform MPs, 68 Labour, 51 LibDems, 42 SNP and 25 Cons (etc). As near to an electoral revolution as anything.

That refers to the GI Bill brought into law by F.D. Roosevelt. It gives those who have served in the U.S. armed forces free university education, free medical services etc.
In its original form, it did not extend those benefits to those who served in the armed forces of other countries. Seems that Israel has had its puppets in Congress make yet another pro-Jewish-lobby “exception”.

Life is always surprising
Never has the phrase, “they don’t make ‘em like they use to” been so true.
Long-term and regular readers of the blog will know that I have blogged a few times about the month I spent at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1998 (part of three straight months I spent in Egypt that year). Siwa had slave caravans coming through from Central Africa to the Nile and Nile Delta right up until the 1940s, I think the late 1940s.
One of several unusual features about Siwa is that, at least until the late 20thC, men were not allowed to marry until aged 40, but girls were always married by their early teens. I was told that the girls now finish their schooling first (whether that means 16 or 18, probably 16).

“Both men had their sentences suspended after Judge Vanessa Baraitser considered the bursting prison population and an assessment by the Probation Service that found both defendants were unlikely to reoffend if they took up the opportunity to do self-help workshops. Both must pay compensation to their victims and attend rehabilitation days instead.
Williams-Gillett reached through the window and took his car keys. When his pregnant partner asked for the keys back, Williams-Gillett tried to punch her. By now the dad 50, had come back down the stairs and tried to pull Williams-Gillett away from the partner, triggering a brutal assault.
“Your response to that was to launch a violent attack on him. To stab him repeatedly to his face, so hard the keys were bent out of shape from the impact,” said Judge Baraitser.
Unable to start the car, the man phoned his cousin for help, while Williams-Gillett’s brother Fabian Bennett also arrived carrying a metal baseball bat. Bennett immediately set to work on the dad with the baseball bat, hitting his legs, ribs, and body. Williams-Gillett also joined in the beating, kicking the dad and using the baseball bat.
Bennett then turned to the pregnant woman, grabbed her by the throat, and bent her backwards over a fence while goading her partner ‘using her as bait’. When the cousin arrived in his Citroen, the man and his partner got in the car while Williams-Gillett used the bat to smash the windows, including where a child was sitting.
The cousin was punched in the face, but the first male victim managed to drive everyone away leaving his Hyundai behind. When he came back to get the car, the doors had been broken and his partner’s purse containing £350 in cash and her Monzo card was stolen.
Williams-Gillett was sentenced to 18 months suspended for 20 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must also pay £1,700 in compensation. Bennett got 12 months suspended for 18 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must pay £500 compensation.”

“An adviser used by Nigel Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.
Jack Anderton, who ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also said the UK should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.
“Alternative history is interesting; if Britain had not fought in WW1 and WW2, it would not have had to rely on America for economic support, and it would have had the independence to act accordingly. Britain could have developed India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In the coming meritocracy, perhaps Britain could regain some of these nations.”
The same post also argues against providing support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion: “We are sending billions of pounds (that we cannot afford) to prop up a country that we have no allegiance to. Russia is not our enemy, they have not attacked Britain.“

There really is something disgusting about all the System “shills”, such as Jukes, ganging up on Lucy Connolly, an ordinary provincial woman without wealth or power, overwhelmed by the fake “counter-terror” juggernaut running her down and crushing her.
Yes, she probably did squirm and try to escape her unmerited fate by inventing this or that story, but she pleaded guilty (I think mistakenly) and, instead of issuing her with a conditional discharge and allowing her to return home (no doubt grateful and chastened) to her unwell husband and two little daughters, the legal system or “justice” system (?) imprisoned her for not far short of 3 years (even if it now seems that she may soon be released after having served just over 1 year).
Erudite, narrowly but expensively educated appeal judges have pronounced upon her, dissected her legally, and put System control above individual justice.
Lucy Connolly can, in my view, certainly be regarded as a victim of the emergent UK police state and what the Chinese used to call “running dogs” of the same. There is something of bullying and concerted victimization about the way this woman has been treated.
It is easy to be wise after the event(s). Lucy Connolly should, of course, have refused to be interviewed by police, or given a “no comment” interview. I do not know whether she had a solicitor from the beginning.
I can see (based on what I think were the facts) that she was not well-advised. In the event, she was not (I believe) even given bail pending trial; if so, a ridiculous, very harsh, totally unnecessary, and totally political or politically-aware decision.
It is clear that Starmer-stein’s Cabinet were all panicking a year ago. They could see the possibility of their beloved vision of a multikulti “non-racist”, non-white England or Britain literally going up in smoke, and in flames. Hence the Draconian penalties visited upon some unfortunate and (as the “liberal” Observer/Guardian etc types no doubt saw with enjoyment) plebeian protesters and tweeters.
Well, the protests were, temporarily, stopped, but the migration invasion has continued, and at a pace even greater than in 2024.
What has gone up in flames, along with the multikulti “refugees welcome” fantasies of the likes of Jukes, Jonathan Portes, Zoe Gardner etc, is the popularity of the Starmer-stein government of incompetent “Friends of Israel”. Only about 20% of potential voters at the next general election are presently intending to vote Labour, and I doubt whether that will increase by very much.
All that is fine, but let’s be honest: without putting actual troops on the ground, nothing will truly change. Sanctions and statements alone won’t stop Russia. If we don’t back Ukraine with real military presence, we are only buying time, not victory.
The above clowns typify the System view of the Ukraine conflict. EU bureaucrat/politico Verhofstadt wants EU taxpayers to fund Zelensky’s war and shambolic dictatorship endlessly, while that Greek wants EU states to take an active part in the war, sending troops to fight there.
Some people in Western Europe just have a death wish.
Incidentally, as far as British troops are concerned, how long does would-be statesman and pathetic incompetent, Starmer, imagine that our soldiers would last, even under the “peacekeepers” label? Not long if and when any ceasefire ends. The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-3,000 soldiers (pressganged civilians kidnapped off the streets) daily (killed, badly wounded, or captured). Britain’s whole —front-line and battle-ready— Army seems to number about 15,000. If that. About 2-6 weeks’ supply, then…
Starmer is a complete idiot to want to get further involved in Ukraine, a fake state, completely corrupt, and with which the UK has effectively no commonality of history or interest.

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.

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.

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.

Well worth reading.
Incidentally, as that report makes plain, the “Spanish Flu” (which in fact seems to have originated in the USA, specifically in Kansas) is variously estimated to have killed anywhere from 17 to 50 million people worldwide (including 200,000 in the UK), which certainly puts the “Covid” “panicdemic” in perspective.
While 200,000+ are supposed to have died “with Covid” in the UK over the five years 2020-2025 (mostly in 2020-2022), almost all of those deaths were in fact from other causes and/or from normal winter influenza (reclassified, in effect, as “Covid” deaths).
Did the authorities of 1918-1919 “lock down” the country, or the world? No. Life continued.

“Definitions: “British expat“— someone who lives and works temporarily in another country/society, or retires there with a pension and/or capital, or goes to live in another closely-connected white society such as Australia or New Zealand. Will have arrived in that country lawfully, and is almost invariably an asset to the host country.
“Migrant“, aka “migrant-invader“— today usually a black or brown person, who may or may not have arrived lawfully in the UK (or other white European-race country), who will almost invariably have no capital or income, and will almost certainly be a drain on the public funds of the UK or other unwillingly-hosting country. The invader will either be unwilling to work (except for extra and untaxed cash while also claiming State welfare benefits), or be unable to work at anything beyond the lowest grade of employment by reason of having few if any marketable skills, no usable qualifications, and often little or no English language proficiency. A millstone round the neck of the UK (etc).
Anyone who equates “Brit expat” with black/brown migrant-invader is not only very mistaken, but a complete idiot (and/or malicious).”

As noted before on the blog, the front-lines of the Kiev regime are crumbling. Losses amount to 1,000-3,000 men daily, and there are large-scale desertions, despite the risks, and severe penalties if caught. To remain in place is a near death sentence, and that is why most men in Ukraine try to avoid or evade the draft. The regime uses press-gangs to kidnap potential recruits off the streets.
Zelensky’s regime of Jew-Zionists, and thick-set Ukrainian thugs, cannot last. The leading members will either flee to other countries or will be captured and dealt with.
“A Nigerian man who sexually assaulted a young woman next to Bournemouth beach has been spared jail because of his ‘troubled background and difficult life’.
Ayomide Famakinde, 23, was given a community order by the judge who said the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’.
Famakinde had approached his 19-year-old victim late at night in the Dorset seaside town in August 2022, and put his hands down her jogging bottoms.
As the 19-year-old tried to fight him off, they fell to the ground.
Famakinde ignored her ‘shouts’ to stop and carried on until he was pulled off the victim by his friend. The two men then walked off together while the teenager was left in tears.
The victim told Bournemouth Crown Court Famakinde had ‘ruined her life’ and she ‘no longer feels safe walking alone’.
But a judge ruled the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’ and the defendant had a ‘very troubled background and difficult life’.
Famakinde, a gym instructor from south London, was given an 18-month community order and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work, as it was deemed that a custodial sentence would be too severe.”

The US Treasury Department announced early Wednesday that the national debt has exceeded 37 thoudand billion dollars for the first time in the country's history.
[“Foreign Policy magazine published an article titled:
“The next war between Iran and Israel is approaching.”
Iran is preparing for this attack and, unlike the previous war, this time intends to deliver powerful strikes from the very first hours to show that there will be no military occupation by Israel.
The war is predicted to be significantly bloodier than the previous one. If Donald Trump, under pressure from Israel, decides to intervene, the US risks getting involved in a conflict that will be more severe than the war in Iraq.
Key points of the article:
Israel’s June attacks had three goals: to draw the US into a direct war with Iran; to overthrow the Iranian leadership; to turn the country into a “convenient target” like Syria or Lebanon, which can be bombed without US intervention. Only the first goal was fully achieved — and even then, only partially.
Contrary to Israel’s expectations, Trump limited himself to one operation against nuclear facilities and refused to expand the war, forcing Tel Aviv to agree to a truce.
Israel failed to destroy the Iranian state system: even after the assassination of commanders and scientists, Iran quickly restored its military structure and carried out large-scale missile strikes, which, on the contrary, strengthened national unity in the country.
Israel lost part of its air superiority and suffered serious losses in its missile defense system. The US had to transfer 25% of the THAAD missile defense system to its ally within 12 days.
Now Israel will likely try to attack before Iran completes the restoration of its missile and defense capabilities.
Iran threatens a swift and harsh response to disrupt Israel’s “lawn mowing” strategy — regular preemptive strikes.
Article conclusion: The outcome of the next war will depend on who recovers forces faster and closes defense gaps. For Trump, in the second conflict, there will be no “middle ground” — either full intervention or complete refusal to participate.“]

[“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”]
What goes around comes around. Israel is doomed. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but quite soon, I think.

The UK is in the midst of a serious and sustained attack on free speech. “Islamophobia” laws. “Non-crime hate incidents”. The “Online Safety Act”. Tomorrow, we are releasing an exclusive 1 hour discussion with THE expert to diagnose what’s happening and, crucially, what to do…
In the years 2002-2008, when I was a barrister based in Exeter and (2002-2006) living on the Cornwall/Devon border, prime shooting territory, several of my colleagues in chambers shot. I recall one incident when one member of chambers shot a pheasant which then fell on the head of either his wife or someone else’s wife (I think the latter), the lady in question being knocked out as a consequence.
I cannot now recall whether the shooter was or was not the person who later had an affair with the lady in question, who later left the one barrister for the other (causing a big kefuffle in chambers, as might be imagined; however, this being England and not Texas or the Caucasus, no-one opened fire on anyone else, and no blood was spilt).
Awkward, and I quite liked all three members of chambers involved (one involved simply as another gun on the fateful day; the lady involved was not a barrister, though I think that I did meet her once).
In fact, as someone who does not interfere with other people if it can be avoided, and because in those years I spent half my time at my then home in Finistere, or elsewhere, I was apparently the only member of Chambers for some time unaware of the personal upset that had occurred (though I had heard about the earlier, pheasant-caused, injury).

Ukraine news
“In what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance units punched through exposed defences in eastern Ukraine, slipping as far as six miles behind the front line in just 48 hours, according to battlefield reports.
Kyiv has diverted special forces units to confront the insurgents on the ground in an attempt to prevent any more of Ukraine falling under Russia’s control before the summit in Alaska.
The location, near Dobropillya in Donetsk, is strategically significant. If Moscow’s forces are able to establish a foothold, the breach could allow Russia to cut off the city of Kramatorsk, one of the most vital strongholds in the Donbas still under Kyiv’s control.
If the city falls, it would give Putin almost full control over the Donbas and strengthen his negotiating power when bargaining over Ukraine’s fate with the Trump administration.“

In the early 1930s, Germany faced problems almost as bad as (in some respects, worse than) the UK in the 2020s.

That the “you know who”-ridden outside world (finance-capitalist West, Stalinist/socialist East) turned on Germany from 1939 does not take away the immense achievements of 1933-1939, the years of peace.

During the currency of the matter, the defendants’ Jewish solicitors (Daniel Berke of “3D Solicitors” of Manchester, and the notorious Mark Lewis of Patron Law, West London), and Counsel (Beth Grossman, of Doughty Street Chambers, London) appear in various degrees to have been incompetent and/or dishonest. The defendants’ (arguende, perjuring) Jewish/Zionist witnesses (every single one was a Jew) were simply not believed by the trial judge.
James Wilson won his case against the odds (and much dishonest Jewish chicanery) and now is actually trying to save defeated defendant Cantor from losing his house as a result of the negligence and dishonesty of Cantor’s fellow-Jews, and particularly “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
I have to say that the successful claimant, Wilson, appears to be a great deal more forgiving than I would have been in his place. Wilson is now trying to save one of the Jews who targeted him, which Jew has been thrown to the wolves by his own Jewish lawyers and a number of other prominent Jew-Zionists who urged on the defence case against Wilson. Those other Jews, and the Jewish lawyers involved, have been trying to wash their hands of their default(s).
I have blogged extensively about the aftermath of this case, and about (in general, too) the self-promoting yet incompetent and dishonest Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis. Use the search box on this blog for more.
As for the other losing defendants in that matter, I know little about Mendelsohn. As to Newbon (a vicious pro-Israel social media troll, whose own university, Northumbria, had to discipline him repeatedly), he killed himself rather than face up to the consequences of his badness.
I suspect Ms Grossman is desperate not to disclose her response – whether it is an email or a note of a phone call – to this email from Mark Lewis.
At one time, Jews were not even allowed to become barristers in England and Wales (until the Jews Relief Act 1858 was passed, by which time the political influence bought by their money had permeated English society in the Victorian age).
Readers of the blog will be able to guess what my views on this subject are.
Incidentally, and while I am very rusty on the current law — I ceased active practice in 2008, and was wrongly and in fact unlawfully disbarred at the instigation of a connected packs of Jews —inc., in the shadows, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— in 2016, my understanding is that legal professional privilege is not available against a barrister’s own client. Legal professional privilege, which protects confidential communications between a lawyer and client for the purpose of legal advice or litigation, is intended to benefit the client, not to shield the lawyer from disclosure to the client.
In this case, Cantor has (Wilson says) asked his former lawyers to disclose.
A few pertinent quotations, found here and there:
Purpose of the Exemption: Legal professional privilege exists to encourage open and honest communication between clients and their legal advisors, ensuring clients can fully disclose information relevant to their case without fear of that information being disclosed to others.
Who Benefits? This privilege is solely for the benefit of the client, not the lawyer. A barrister cannot claim privilege to withhold information from their own client.
Duty of Confidentiality: Barristers have a strict duty of confidentiality to their clients, but this duty is not absolute. It is subject to exceptions, such as where disclosure is required by law or where the client provides informed consent for disclosure.
Client’s Right to Information: Clients have a right to access information held by their barrister relating to their case, including confidential communications, unless specific exemptions apply.
Examples of Disclosure to Client: This includes, but is not limited to, the barrister’s advice, opinions of counsel, experts’ reports, and other documents relevant to the case.
Incidentally, I have recently found AI (Artificial Intelligence) to be a wonderful resource in various areas of study or research. This, below, is what it has to say about Legal Professional Privilege:
“Legal professional privilege
LPP protects confidential communications between a client and their lawyer, including barristers, and is a right held by the client. There are two main types:
Legal advice privilege: Covers confidential communications for the purpose of seeking or giving legal advice.
Litigation privilege: Covers confidential communications made for the dominant purpose of obtaining advice or evidence for existing or reasonably contemplated litigation.
Exceptions where LPP does NOT apply
LPP has limited exceptions where a barrister might be required or permitted to disclose information, even to their own client:
Iniquity Exception: LPP does not apply if the client seeks advice to further a crime, fraud, or similar conduct.
Waiver by the client: The client can waive privilege, either expressly or implicitly.
Disclosure required or permitted by law: Statutory or regulatory obligations may compel disclosure, such as reporting suspicions of money laundering.
Public Interest Immunity (PII): A court may order non-disclosure based on PII, where the public interest in withholding information outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
In summary, while a barrister generally must protect client confidentiality and uphold LPP, exceptions exist when the client seeks advice to further a crime, or when disclosure is required by law or court order.”
It can be seen that at least one exception (Waiver) might well apply. to the Cantor/Wilson matter. Possibly “Iniquity Exception” and/or “Public Interest” as well.
Looks as though Beth Grossman is on a loser (again).
Beth Grossman and “Mark Lewis Lawyer” must both be squirming.
Beth Grossman is bullsh***ing me and Mr Cantor.
As if it is manifestly excessive to provide us with her advice and emails.
If Beth Grossman is going to take an absurdly bad point of the sort mooted by her chambers, Doughty Street Chambers, then it says something about her, arguende…
I think Beth Grossman did the whole thing on a no-win, no-fee deal. So she’s done “tens of hours” of work for free, and now it grates to do a bit more.
Them’s the breaks, innit? Don’t get involved if you like the look of the swings, but don’t wanna do the roundabouts?
I was falsely accused of being a freak who takes pictures of kids by Pete Newbon. He instructed Mark Lewis. It all went wrong. Pete died. The other defendants are going bankrupt. I am trying to protect them. Their lawyers are refusing to disclose any information to help. 🤷♂️
The two surviving Jew defendants may eventually sue “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and the other defence solicitors and Counsel. We shall see.
Lewis has no or significant assets within the jurisdiction (England and Wales), though he is believed to own a flat in Eilat, Israel, a fact which was concealed from the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal. When Lewis was found guilty by the that Tribunal in 2018, his own (unpaid) Counsel said to the Tribunal that “Lewis has no assets except his own clothes, a used mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week”…so much for the supposed great defamation lawyer!
So Lewis can only be (effectively) sued jointly and severally with others, notably his fellow partners in the Patron Law firm. Presumably, he has professional indemnity insurance, though.
When I was a practising barrister, I had indemnity insurance, as all barristers are expected to carry. I was never sued anyway, but when I was instructed or “briefed” by a London law firm to draft contracts for the transhipment and sale of oil, my insurance had to be very radically increased, because even one shipment was worth tens of millions of U.S. dollars.

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.
There will be no Tory voters left at this rate. Tory ‘24 voters have fled both right & left or just off in disgust. How is possible to have lost on both flanks and to the sofa. Never seen anything like it. pic.twitter.com/PadWjjM159
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…

I wonder whether the Israelis would allow echt-British/English people to go to Israel, scribble for newspapers, and go onto Israeli TV angrily urging more and more (non-Jewish) migration to Israel. The very idea is, of course, ludicrous, and would be even were those non-Jews born in Israel, which would be almost impossible anyway.

An idiot.
What does “Field Marshal” Wallace think that Britain, which scarcely has an army now anyway, or air force, or navy, can bring to the table? He seems to think that Britain can almost impose a Pax Britannica. That last bottle must have been a good one.
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.
