Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored, he says, “4.5/10”. I managed 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, 6, and 7.
“A dispute over a 97-year-old woman feeding birds in her back garden has escalated with the ‘bullying’ council now threatening a £2,500 fine or even court action to force her and her son out of their privately-owned home.
Retired music teacher Anne Seago enjoys the simple pleasure of watching from her conservatory as sparrows and robins feed off seeds on her bird table.
A complaint from a neighbour that she was attracting pigeons and seagulls prompted the council to issue a ‘written warning’ last November and threaten a £100 fine if the ‘anti-social behaviour’ doesn’t cease.
Now, amid claims the birds are still being fed, Fylde Council has issued her son Alan, 77, who lives with her, with another written warning. This time he is being threatened with a Community Protection Notice (CPN) and a potential fine of £2,500 for ‘non-compliance’ if the ‘anti-social behaviour’ doesn’t stop immediately.
And in a further threat the council’s environmental health department has warned it could take legal action for a ‘Civil Injunction and/or a Premises Closure Order’, that if granted by magistrates could ultimately force them out of their house in Staining, near Blackpool, for up to three months.
The officers even instructed the Seagos to take down the ‘I love’ birds notice on their window (above) in case it upset the neighbour.“
“Poland’s Prime Minister, Donald Tusk said: ‘I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a concept from the past. It’s real and it started over two years ago. We are living in the most critical moment since the end of the Second World War‘.”
[Daily Mail]
Tusk is a brainless drone, a complete puppet of NWO/ZOG. A year ago, he was predicting that Ukraine (the Kiev regime) would “defeat Russia“, and then go on to join both NATO and the EU. How is that going?…
As for war with Russia, certain powerful groups or cabals in the West are really pushing for it; the drift to war is almost entirely being driven by those groups, not by Putin, not by Russia.
An almighty war would be disastrous for Europe and the European peoples. Maybe that is why the “usual suspects” and their puppets keep pushing for one…

Britons increasingly believe Russia has the advantage in Ukraine
Despite 2 years of false reporting by the UK/US msm, the truth is slowly dawning: Russia must and will win this war. Ukraine (the Kiev regime) is a fake state and a failed state, and is fast running out of arms, ammunition and, most of all, soldiers.

First Matthew Parris wants to crack down on disability benefits. Now he addresses assisted dying saying old & frail people are a burden on society. Until social care & palliative care are available to everybody at a certain level, insensitive talk like this is really frightening. pic.twitter.com/GeqA5FuJe5
People say that it does not matter what a person’s private life, sexuality, even beliefs etc may be. Only their specific ideas matter. Easy to agree with that, superficially, but it is facile in more ways than one.
Matthew Parris is typical, in a way, of the faux-“caring sharing” “Cameroon” fake “Conservatism” of the past few decades; post-Thatcherite, espousing a neo-Spartanism for the poorer part of society, and a freedom-from-responsibility ethos for the affluent and wealthy, all disguised by the said fake “caring”.
Often, though certainly not always, publicized in newspapers, and in magazines such as the Spectator, and often by affluent metropolitan gays such as Parris himself.
That kind of “Conservatism” is the polar opposite of the paternalism which characterized at least part of the old and now long-gone Conservatism.
Mrs Thatcher may now be thought of as the standard-bearer of the new pseudo-libertarian “Conservatism”, but she herself, in office, was more a product of the old order, and vacillated between the two camps, for all her expressed adherence to Hayek etc.
The tweeter cited above is right. Parris is shown, not for the first time, as someone who basically knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. His notorious column about “left-behind” areas, such as Clacton, set the tone.
Not that I disagree with all that Parris has written, such as when his column opined thus: “In May 2021, Parris called for the removal of ethnic minority status from Gypsy, Roma and Travellers, describing them “not a race, but a doomed mindset” and called for “a gradual but relentless squeeze on anyone who tries without permission to park their home on public property or the property of others” [Wikipedia].
I agree with those words, though the Irish “travellers” are not the same actual group as the various kinds of ethnic “gypsies” in the UK and mainland Europe (etc). “Travellers” of Irish origin are not an ethnic minority; the Roma, Sinta etc are.
I also agree with his view of sinister clown “Boris” Johnson: “In June 2020 Parris wrote an excoriating article on Boris Johnson saying, “He never had any judgment or strategic vision. Mr Johnson was only ever a shallow opportunist with a minor talent to amuse” [Wikipedia].
What I find disturbing about, not only Parris but also that whole strain of post-Thatcherite “Conservatism”, discounting its pseudo-“caring” camouflage, is its un-Christian, un-spiritual “throwing under a bus” of those (the old, sick, and poor) who cannot keep pace with his preferred metro-affluent new order. It reminds me, more than anything, of Stalinism, in terms of its arrogant brutality. There is something dystopian about it all. Parris himself is an atheist.
In 1984 Matthew Parris said £26 a week in benefits was ample. He tried it, the wimp ended up crying on his bed in his Newcastle bedsit unable to cope. Why doesn't "£100,000 pa. Isn't a huge salary" HUNT try the same thing. Odious twat. pic.twitter.com/cjR8EJQQnR

If you don't believe in a God who sanctifies human life, writes Matthew Parris, there are no good arguments against pressuring sick people into assisted suicide. A hell of a piece for Good Friday. NB—he's an atheist, and thinks pressuring sick people to kill themselves is good. pic.twitter.com/xjdXeRfdjU

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

“The rating of the German far right has risen again to 20%.
In January-February, a series of thousands of demonstrations against right-wing radicalism swept across Germany. Against this background, the ratings of the far-right Alternative for Germany fell below 20% for the first time in eight months.
Now it has begun to grow again and for the first time in a month and a half has returned to the 20% mark. These are the results of a survey by the sociological institute INSA.”
Germans, particularly modern Germans, most of them, are conformist. The hostile demonstrations, backed by Germany’s NWO/ZOG state apparat, were enough to dent AfD support, but only temporarily.

“The toddler’s frail, malnourished body scarcely twitched as she lay helplessly in an incubator chamber in the already-decimated Gaza hospital.
Leila Jeneid, one of countless children who have passed through the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, has suffered as a result of starvation and dehydration.
In a video clip, Leila can be seen quickly breathing in and out, desperate for a breath of fresh air in one of the 12 remaining hospitals in the besieged enclave.
The outline of her ribs, along with all her other bones, are visible through her pallid, paper-thin skin, which sits in stark contrast to the blue blanket underneath her that provides little comfort to the toddler, who is not old enough to comprehend the hellish suffering she is undergoing.
Her jaw is slack as she lies on her back inside the plastic cage of the incubator, barely able to move her arms and legs.
She can’t keep her eyes open as medics at the hospital, which UN official Andrea De Domenico this week said was receiving ‘about 15 malnourished children a day and is struggling to maintain services,’ run tests to understand how to help her.
But it’s food, water and proper rest she needs, all things that the whole enclave is desperately in need of, and all things that Israel has been accused of deliberately withholding from civilians in its bitter war against Hamas, which – according to a top UN human rights official – could amount to a war crime.”

Israel, and the Jewish lobby outside Israel, can now shut up about various matters that they claim occurred during the Second World War.
The “usual suspects” constantly promote books, films etc about events and/or invented events that are said to have happened, in any event, over 80 years ago.
“A father-of-five who was jailed and handed a £475,000 court bill after a dispute with his neighbours has been ordered to sell his home to pay for the huge sum.
Mark Coates, 56, and wife Louise, 52, have been involved in a ‘bitter, aggressive and violent’ dispute with their neighbours Brian Greenwood, 69, and Janice Turner, 65, after moving in next door in the countryside near Hastings in 2015.
The row arose out of a disagreement over a fence between their homes on a quiet road in Robertsbridge, a court heard. The Coates family wanted to replace the structure with a brick wall but Mrs Taylor argued this would encroach on her land.”
[Daily Mail]
When I was at the Bar, I advised and appeared on several such cases in the County Court, both in London and the provinces. Almost all, in fact all, should have settled long before they got to court, long before any barristers were instructed.
I think that I can say that I, and other counsel in the cases known to me, did our best to achieve reasonable closure, but these are cases (often involving trivial amounts of land) where reason always seems to fly out out of the window.
In many cases, all Counsel, solicitors, and the judge in the matter, understand that the matters in question should settle before enormous costs are racked up but, often, the litigants are effectively willing to risk bringing down ruin on themselves for a chance of gaining a victory over their neighbours (with whom they will have to live —nearby— afterwards, after the case ends, whichever way it goes), unless one party sells up and moves (in which event…well, you get my point).
If you told someone to remortgage his house, take out equity of £50,000, £100,000 or more, then go to Las Vegas, and stake the entire amount, maybe in one spin, on red or black at the roulette table, the houseowner would call you crazy, but that is, often, exactly what he or she —often a couple— are willing to do in taking to the County Court (in some cases to the High Court) such cases.
I remember one case I had that was about a wedge-shaped piece of land running the length of a North London suburban garden; at one end it was only about an inch or so wide and, at the other, about a foot.
What can one say? Territorial feeling can be very powerful.
Private enterprise —properly regulated for honesty, health and safety, employee rights etc— should run most commerce and industry, but there are exceptions, among which are the main structures of the economy providing services to the whole people: water supply, large-scale energy, electricity generation and supply, roads, railways.
I love talking to old people, people who don't have smart phones, and aren't on Twitter.
It's a window into a different world, the 1950s, 1940s, 1930s that is rapidly fading from memory.
Talk to these people any opportunity you get, learn about their world, you won't regret it.
Very true. As for me [b.1956], my memories of even the late 1950s are few, but those of the 1960s, and up to the present year, are many. Speaking very broadly, I should say that the dividing line between the UK of 2024 and an earlier and different UK lies, arguably, somewhen between the Thatcher election victory of 1979 and the fall of socialism in or about 1989. Maybe 1979 as far as the UK is concerned, domestically. Too much to cover here in a few paragraphs, though.
American urban planning history
When you think of American cities you think of places built for maximum efficiency and commerce – not necessarily for beauty and harmony. This photo often does the rounds… pic.twitter.com/REkPBUZTbe
It wasn't only public buildings. Take the Erie County Savings Bank in Buffalo (since demolished in an attempt at "urban renewal"): pic.twitter.com/0LKmMcLmCO
The public pushed back. The “Design Excellence Program” was established in 1994 to ensure higher quality public buildings. But the results weren't great:
San Francisco's Federal Building is so bizarre that it almost defies analysis… pic.twitter.com/huMW8VtzUQ
But something eroded American beauty more than this misguided artistry: efficiency.
The US once had dense, more European-style cities, and workers commuted via public streetcars. These were soon to be sacrificed for the great highways… pic.twitter.com/ti7vMxiVXp
Amidst a frenzy of industrialization in the 1940s, the US launched a decades-long project of freeway construction. Huge swathes of existing cities were demolished in the process, like in Kansas City: pic.twitter.com/BJhetxzhQh
Ironically, this breakneck pursuit of efficiency sacrificed what would today be some of the city's most profitable real estate. Those downtown buildings would be worth around $655 million today. pic.twitter.com/TBxcmKLrQ4
The dream of European-style cities in America was all but eradicated. Suburban sprawl meant cities lost significant chunks of their tax bases, and inner cities fell into spirals of decline.

So much for the “military experts”, many of which (as in the case of the reporter David Axe) turn out to be not very expert at all: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Axe.
People of that sort write their rubbish for (in his case) Forbes magazine, the Daily Telegraph etc, and people believe it implicitly because it is in (albeit wrongfully) “trusted” publications, yet much of the content is unreliable. Read Axe’s Wikipedia entry. Not an ex-officer, not a military historian as such, but a writer of fiction primarily, at least until recently. His reporting on military matters has been patchy; refer to the Wikipedia entry.
There are many scribblers of that sort. He is far from being the only defaulter.
Of course, in relation to the Ukraine war, a significant factor in reportage is that most Western msm outlets are openly biased to an extent not seen since the 1940s. Anything seen in the msm relating to Ukraine, Russia, Putin etc has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Seems to sum up everything about Britain in 2024: the environmental calamity, the nanny-state-ism, but also the historical ignorance. The lower Thames (in my meaning, the Thames below Reading, and especially below Kingston) was actually far dirtier in the past, in the 1950s, and back to the 1850s, perhaps even the 1750s.
Still, it is true that the rivers of England and Wales have been almost abandoned by this Government. Effluent and agricultural (farmers’) vandalistic fertilizer and other runoff going into the waters; and water itself being abstracted to service the needs of a UK population growing by 500,000-1,000,000 each year (by reason of mass migration and/or migration invasion).

I do not agree with all of that article by ex-MP Emma Dent Coad in the rump Morning Star, above, but I do agree with some. Worth reading, though she fails to point out at least one possible reason why faux-radical Paul Mason got so angry when Labour’s Israel lobby was mentioned: Mason himself is partly Jewish, and also seems to be very pro-Israel, certainly opposing those he considers “antisemitic”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Early_life_and_education.
Looking ahead
It is all too easy to get distracted by the noise of the world, by short-term politics, by the daily news agenda, by personalities etc. We must try to look ahead, beyond the present year, the present decade; even beyond the present century and the present millennium.
My thesis, though complex in total, is simple in essence: humanity needs to make a quantum leap in evolution. In order for that to happen, there has to be a suitable demographic, ethnic basis. For me, that has to be the European peoples as a whole, particularly the Northern Europeans.
However, the European people(s) are not the end result, or the highest possible stage, but merely a base, also a transitional stage to higher evolution of consciousness.
It is a matter of concern that births and birth-rates to Europeans (including Russians and some other Slavs, the peoples of the far future) are falling quite fast now.
The above factor may be a sign of an impending civilizational catastrophe, but may also be more than merely a “crisis”; it may also be an opportunity for the European peoples to seize the world-historic initiative in terms of demographics. In other words, to start creating the basis of a basis for a future super-race, to put it that way; an advance on —and by— present-day humanity.

A genocidal and dehumanising rant from an extremist far-right politician. Israel must cast out these types of politicians, from the cabinet, from the Knesset, from its political landscape. Just hideous pic.twitter.com/Fvhz9mbXPO
As seen in that tweet, even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist pro-Israel Jews, find many of the members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) beyond the pale, so to speak. All the same, that ranting Jew politician was elected by Israeli voters. He is only expressing, in an extreme form, what is, at least arguably, the mainstream Israeli view in substance, though usually couched in a less extreme, less obviously violent way.
So far, the Israeli revenge attack on Gaza has killed 30,000-40,000 of the inhabitants, mostly women and children. The number grievously wounded must now be as many as 100,000.
Yet one sees Jews in the UK and elsewhere defend the Israeli actions (use of white phosphorus, use of famine as a weapon, flattening of huge areas of residential housing etc, use of drones and snipers killing families or lone unarmed civilians) as “defensive”, “justified“, “not genocide“, “not war crimes” etc. In effect, those (Jews and non-Jews) who support Israel, and who are tweeting support for Israel, are supporting those actions.
They are often the same ones whining and screaming that some child in London or wherever has chalked a swastika on a garage door or the side of a bus, and that that is a kind of “terrorism”, and that they feel “afraid” to go out of their houses. Pathetic.

Of course, I have no idea whether Paul Mason is or is not actually an agent of one or another secret government service, as many claim, but he has always struck me as being inherently unreliable, and not very trustworthy in any respect.

Well, one of the comments on the blog (made allegedly by me) that “got me into trouble” over the past year or three referenced Jewish/Zionist/Israeli influence in the USA, and/or the mindset of many Americans who (influenced by TV, radio, and Press) blindly support the Israel lobby, so I had better not say too much here about “freedom” in the supposed “land of freedom”…
It’s strange…as recently as the 1970s, Britain had almost complete free speech on political, social, historical and other topics. What a contrast to today’s “iron fist in velvet glove” repression, abused by —mainly— the groups associated with the Jewish lobby and Israel; the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc.
I think that, eventually, the huge defensive works undertaken by the Kiev-regime forces will lie abandoned by their former defenders. Already, the regime is using press-gangs to “recruit” soldiers, and is slowly running out of arms, ammunition, and other supplies.

"Labour is not as strong as some suggest. Only 1 in 4 voters think it's “in touch”. Only 18% think it's “strong”. Only 22% think it's “trustworthy”. Only 26% it's “competent”. Only 1 in 3 think it's “united”. Only 24% say “it's got a clear purpose”https://t.co/MjgtGWyllj
True but, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, the electorate will not be voting for Labour, they will be voting against the Conservative Party which has ruined so much over the past 14 years.
Both System parties are enemies of the people.

The U.S, Embassy in Moscow was warning American expats about a possible terror attack for several days. From where did that come? From general “chatter” monitored or intercepted?
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia.
In 2016, Donald Trump said former US President Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton is the co-founder.
Tenuous. Many people, including famous political figures, move around the world all the time, “like billiard balls“, as a Russian peasant on a river steamer once remarked to Gorky about the “gentry” [see: Literary Portraits, by Gorky, 1935, trs. Ivy Litvinov].
I cannot see the Kiev regime being behind this, except as the most dangerous game move (provoking Putin into doing something so harsh that it might then bring NATO into the Ukraine war directly). Surely even the Kiev regime would not do something so crazy?
How Russia will escalate has become more important than if Ukraine was actually behind this, which we may never know. https://t.co/wGLPm4GEkV
Trump, if re-elected, will cut off funding, arms and ammunition supplies, and intelligence aid to the Zelensky dictatorship; the war in Ukraine will then grind to a halt within weeks.
Crowdfunders
My own crowdfunder, set up to help me pay the court-imposed costs of my recent free-speech trial: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
The MP who tweeted or retweeted that BBC report did not address the fact that the pro-Israel bloc in the UK and other states, the core of which is the Jewish Zionist population in each state, seems to be fairly solidly behind the Israeli military and air attack “operation” in Gaza.
I'm Jewish. This post is for anyone who opposes the GENOCIDE under way in Gaza, supported by @RishiSunak@Keir_Starmer & most UK media
IT IS NOT antisemitic to 1 Criticise the actions of Israel 2 Condemn the occupations 3 Condemn apartheid 4 Criticise the Israel Lobby in UK
In relation to no.4 above, it is unfortunate that the learned district judge at my free speech trial (in November 2023) seemed unaware of or (much more likely) not in agreement with, the point(s) made (which have been made many many times previously).
In fact, and in any case, “antisemitism”, as such, is not illegal in this country; neither is so-called “holocaust” “denial”. That much has been made clear in numerous court cases though, as far as I am aware, not yet at appeal level in the higher courts (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of the UK).
Actually, the trial judge was fair in his actual conduct of the trial, overall, but Britain these days has come under a kind of low cloud of repression in respect of —shall we say?— “them“…
I feel that a few issues were slightly fudged in the delivered judgment of the learned District Judge at my trial. It is long since I was a barrister in court (2007) but I feel that there was at least one good appeal point in that judgment.
However, I am disinclined to appeal, and then have to go through, at the Crown Court, what would amount to a retrial, rehashing all the nonsense of the “CAA” and CPS already heard, particularly as the sentence eventually handed down by the sentencing judge was relatively light; and also in view of the fact that the sentencing District Judge refused the Prosecution application for a Criminal Behaviour Order to restrict (though not much, really, the Order and Application having been so poorly-drafted) my publication of the blog.
Incidentally, my trial was at the end of last November, so only a week short of 4 months ago. Tempus fugit. Even my sentencing hearing was 9 days ago, but I have already done one day out of the ordered 15 “probation” days (nominally a day, in terms of the sentence format, but actually about an hour in real time).
The blog continues. The blog will continue. Inshallah, as the Arabs say.
"On the street you see children, you see the gauntness in their face… I saw children yesterday in a hospital, their level of malnutrition is so severe that I simply don't know if they will be alive today. This is absolutely man made"
…and here is another thieving leech, Stephen Byers, another freeloading and/or fraudulent expenses cheat, and another Labour Friends of Israel member: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Byers.
2015: Jeremy Corbyn elected Labour leader. 2016: 172 Right Wing Labour MPs stage coup to get rid of him. 2016: same MPs back Owen Smith leadership bid. 2017 12.8 million vote for Corbyn in GE. 2024: these same RW MPs, including Starmer, running the Labour Party. #DontVoteLabourpic.twitter.com/E5EOHICI5o
“Right Wing Labour MPs“, says he, meaning “members of Labour Friends of Israel“: at least three out of the ten Jewish (some of the rest possibly part- or “crypto”). Several of that group of ten wealthy or very wealthy; the rest freeloading, and/or fraudulent, leeches and snakes.
The Starmer led Labour Party in many ways are worse then the Tories, they are using Labour’s history of being a voice for the working class to further the agenda of the elites.
It is now not impossible that, at the upcoming 2024 General Election, the Reform UK party, despite its flaws (from my ideological direction) will run about level with the Con Party; somewhere around 15%-20%. If so, and if Labour can get about 45%, the Con Party might be left with about 25-50 MPs (Labour 500-525; LibDems 25-50; Reform UK 0-5; Green 1-2; SNP 15-30; Plaid Cymru 2-3; others, about 18).
If the Conservative Party declines to somewhere below 50 MPs, it is an open question (bearing in mind the age of its core voters) as to whether it can survive at all in the medium term (2030-2050).
While I agree with Nick Griffin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin] that there is, for social-national people, “no Parliamentary road” in a totally rigged game, it is not impossible for a political party as yet not in existence to play at least some role in a general social-national upsurge. “All roads lead to Rome“, as they say.

The Kiev-regime forces can still fire missiles at cities, but they do not have the soldiers, arms, and ammunition to defeat or even hold the Russian forces on the battlefield.
The Russian Armed Forces are repelling a massive attack on Sevastopol. More than 10 missiles have already been shot down, and air defense fire against cruise missiles can be heard. The air raid alarm has been sounding for over an hour.
I was expecting a storm (even if in a teacup) after my sentencing, rather as happened after I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016. The Crown Prosecution Service (or should that be Clown Prosecution Service?) also seem to have been expecting a great deal more interest from Press and public than there has been.
The CPS posted this:
⚖️ Ian Millard, 67, denounced the Holocaust as ‘fake history’ and claimed there was ‘nothing wrong’ with being antisemitic.
Today, the ex-barrister has been sentenced after a CPS prosecution.
“A disbarred barrister who posted grossly offensive antisemitic material online has been sentenced.
Between May 2021 and April 2022, Ian Robert Millard persistently posted about his hatred of Jewish people online, while claiming he was simply exercising his freedom of speech.
Statements made by Millard included that ‘there is nothing wrong with being antisemitic’, that England would ‘be a great deal better’ with more antisemitism and suggestions that the Holocaust was ‘fake history’.
He also posted imagery which portrayed antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Working closely with Hampshire Constabulary, the CPS trawled through twelve months’ worth of evidence from Millard’s blog.
Unpicking the evidence, piece by piece, including one month of posts alone which totalled 450 pages, prosecutors were able to show the continuous barrage of offensive material – all of which needed to be considered by prosecutors to build the strongest possible case.
At trial, prosecutors utilised the evidence to prove Millard was not simply expressing his freedom of speech, but was engaged in a campaign of antisemitic hate, publishing grossly offensive material which breached the Communications Act.
Having been found guilty after trial of five charges of breaching the Communications Act, Millard, 67 and of the New Forest, was sentenced at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on 14 March 2024 and received a nine month Community Order.
Sophie Stevens, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor with CPS Wessex, said: “Antisemitism has a devastating impact on individuals and communities – we won’t hesitate to bring offenders of hate crime to justice.
“This was a complex prosecution which required many hours scrutinising the masses of online content that Ian Millard deemed perfectly acceptable.“
[Crown Prosecution Service public/Press statement]
A few points about that.
Firstly, the malicious and politically-motivated pro-Israel group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, or “CAA” (effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy) have admitted on both their website and Twitter/X account that they brought political pressure to bear on the CPS to prosecute me for something/anything, including a letter written directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions by “Lord” Ian Austin, the notorious ex-MP. The “CAA” campaign against me has lasted a whole decade now.
Second, the words allegedly used on the blog were “…a lot better for a little more defensive antisemitism“. The CPS has left out that important qualifier.
Thirdly, imagine the waste of public money in which the CPS has indulged. Hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of blog material, examined minutely. A court process involving some half dozen days or part-days of hearing during 2023 and 2024. Instruction of outside Counsel to appear at each hearing etc.
Also, months of enforced activity by me as I fought to defend myself without any legal or financial assistance; a certain amount of stress, inevitably. The necessity to drive to Southampton several times, too.
The result? Slightly more severe than I had hoped (I was hoping for a conditional discharge or small fine of about £200), but far less severe than the “CAA” and its horrible supporters wanted to see. They really wanted the manacles on me, to quote the late Sir Roger Hollis.
So. 15 meetings with the Probation Service spread over the next 9 months. Also, a nearly £800 costs order and “surcharge” [see also https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J].
Notice how the CPS was obviously desperate to have the result of my case in the newspapers, even adding “Notes for Editors” to its statement.
The question now is whether the CPS will be pressured further by the “CAA” to take other action against me, particularly in respect of blog posts in late 2023 and early 2024 (after conviction but prior to sentence). Needless to say, all further attacks will be vigorously defended, should push come to shove.
Looking at the CPS statement, the old saying “it ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” comes to mind.
As for the blog, I have already announced that, while the blog will continue to be published daily, or near-daily, its content will inevitably have to change slightly, be more diplomatic etc. Also, I hope to shift the emphasis from comment more towards how to build for the future.
Naturally, in a situation where free speech is all but dead in this country, I cannot invite further politically-motivated prosecutions. I must tread the line, as did Sir Thomas More [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More], between (metaphorically, in my case) keeping my head on my shoulders, and staying true to principle and honour.
There have been a few tweets about my trial and sentence. The “no-one watches” Talk TV (part of the mass media empire founded by the ancient billionaire, Rupert Murdoch), tweeted thus:
Ian Millard, 67, of Pennington, Hampshire, was found guilty at Southampton Magistrates' Court of five offences of posting the messages between April and December 2021.
As one would expect from a Murdoch operation, there is dishonesty in that tweet. For one thing, the image and quotation is from my old Twitter/X account. The Jewish lobby or members of it had Twitter delete my account in 2018, almost 6 years ago, and the tweet probably comes from well before even that date.
I notice that Talk TV’s tweet has had some 3,400 views, yet only 9 people have “liked” it, and only 9 (presumably the same 9) have retweeted it. About a quarter of one percent. So somewhere between 99.5%-100% are either with me or are just not very interested in the story.
The tweet by the “Clown” Prosecution Service followed the same pattern. No less than 13,000 people have apparently viewed it, but only 85 have “liked” it, and even fewer (29) have retweeted it. 85 out of 13,000; about half of one percent. So —again— about 99% of people are either with me or are not terribly interested in what the CPS has to say.
“Millard and the People!” (?) (and with apologies to Ceausescu).
I suppose that it proves how nervous the System is at the popular mood under the surface. People in the UK may be unaware of their own unconscious political preferences…
I noticed that one clown tweeter seems unable to read:
Well if he’s reached 67yrs with that mindset then I doubt anything will cause him to change now. I hope his past cases are reviewed and that he is disbarred. #IanMillard#TalkTV
One of the few other reply-tweets about the matter:
.@cpsuk act like authoritarian dictators, like Hitler and Mussolini, using violence to suppress ideas they don't agree with. Why can't CPS behave like adults and debate opposing points of view here on Twitter instead of abusing their power to silence legitimate free speech.

That lunatic (he is actually a mental case of some sort, on medication) has been making silly and rude remarks about me for many years, and inciting various people, various organizations, the few who bother to read his tweets, against me.
If I had more money (well, it is just possible that I might hit the Euromillions lottery…), I should apply for a Norwich Pharmacal Order, thus have his identity and address confirmed (like others, he may not be quite as anonymous as he thinks anyway), and then take legal action against him. That would prove expensive for him…
For more about that lunatic, and others of similar type, see this blog post from 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/. In that article, I examined the strong links between “antifascism”, Zionism, and mental illness, linkages rarely if ever noted by the mainstream media.
This was tweeted too, by the “Searchlight” “organization” (one old “you know who” in an East London backroom):
— @Searchlightmagazine (@Searchlight_mag) March 15, 2024
Note that “Searchlight“, which has been tracking me since about 1975, is completely washed-up.
Their tweet (politely pretending that it is more than one individual…) has had (after 2 days) only 575 views, and only 5 “likes”. Malicious, but ultimately pathetic, idiot(s).
In fact, I see that “Searchlight” only has about 2,800 “followers” on Twitter/X. When I was expelled at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby in 2018, I already had over 3,000, and by now would have had probably at least 10,000 (which, of course, was why “they” had me expelled…).
This time round, there has been no interest by Sky TV, the Daily Mail (the scribbler whom I believe was in charge of my disbarment story in 2016 has left and is now the editor of…the Jewish Chronicle!) etc. Only the BBC, the “no-one watches it” Talk TV, and a small provincial newspaper which describes me as “disgraced barrister“. “Disgraced“? Now I think I know from (((where))) that description comes…
I may be disbarred, but am not disgraced except in the little minds of the “usual suspects” and the fools who listen to them.
Incidentally, there were no reporters at all at the sentencing hearing, so that “journalist” (stupid scribbler) has taken his “report” straight from the “CAA” and/or CPS.
There is a lot of news around at present: the Israeli mass slaughter of women and children in Gaza, the Russian elections, the now rather rapid destruction of the misnamed “Conservative” Party. Even in the area of so-called “far-right” “extremism”, on the very same day that I was sentenced (last Thursday), a supposed “far-right” or “neo-Nazi” young man was sentenced to over 2 years in prison for having done not very much.
In view of all that, the story about the retired barrister who said a few supposedly “grossly offensive” things about Jews etc on his blog (read by a fairly small number of people worldwide), and allegedly posted a few cartoons, hardly makes the cut.
I suppose that I should be grateful to, especially, the CPS and the “CAA”, as well as Talk TV, the BBC, and the various Jewish/Zionist and supposedly “antifascist” Twitter/X accounts, and a few small online news outlets, for their diligent work over the past days and months, spreading my words, or alleged words, and my views (or supposed views), so widely.
Their attacks on me, their reportage, and of course the whole recent prosecution of me, have brought my views to the attention of a wider audience by far than my modest blog had so far reached. Thank you.
Finally, I forgot to note that the main policeman (a uniformed constable) who has been involved in my “case” (since 2021), was in court for my sentencing.
I do not propose to name him here (despite his name having been read out in open court), and actually he seems to be generally an amiable young man, though seemingly rather misled ideologically, judging by his dogged snooping on my blog, and by his witness statements.
My point here is that was the same policeman whose “neighbourhood policing team” failed (as far as I know) to do much to deal with a spate of anti-social and acquisitive crime incidents in 2021-2023 in the relatively not-good neighbourhood where I now, perforce, live. Those incidents included the theft of a wheel from my own car in early 2023.
Putting it less politely, the Hampshire Constabulary proved to be utterly useless in doing their proper job.
So there we have it. Next stop— 15 meetings with the Probation Service…
I suppose that I should add a word about appeal to the Crown Court.
At present, I do not intend to appeal on either conviction or sentence.
The present political climate —and this was a political case, and I was charged as part of the UK’s present political repression on free speech— would make an appeal against conviction unlikely to succeed.
Appeals to Crown Court from the magistrates’ court are before a Circuit Judge, assisted by one or two magistrates. So no jury to whom to speak, or to persuade. As for appeal against sentence, the present sentence is not particularly severe. 15 days or part-days of meetings, and a financial impost. The maximum sentence would have been 6 months’ imprisonment (in reality, about 2-3 months).
For me, there would thus seem to be little point in appealing, even though I dispute that I was convicted correctly, or charged correctly.
Finally, I do have a crowdfunder in place to help pay for the £1,000 the case has cost me. Any and all donations gratefully received. Thank you.
[Update, 15 April 2024: I only today noticed that the “no-one watches” Talk TV has it on its website that I was “jailed” at my (March 2024) sentencing hearing! Ha ha! The stupid bastards at Talk TV cannot even get the most basic facts right.]
[Update, 9 June 2024:I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) “absurdly lenient” by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a “community order” with 15 “rehabilitation days”) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]
[Update, 13 September 2024: As of yesterday, I do not have to attend any further meetings with the Probation Service, despite not having actually attended very many: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/13/diary-blog-13-september-2024/. My sentence is therefore effectively at an end. “The usual suspects” ((( ))) will be fuming].

Redwoods are naturally fire resistant thanks to their thick bark, but the wildfire was so intense and flames so high the trees’ foliage was destroyed, even in tree canopies more than 300ft high.
It was feared the redwoods would never recover, but a few months later something incredible happened – many of the trees began sprouting tiny leaf needles from blackened trunks and branches, and two years later the forest had turned green.
Much of this fresh growth sprouted from buds under the bark and also deep inside the trees, some buds having lain dormant for more than 1,000 years.”

Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.
Most readers of the blog will be aware that I was sentenced yesterday for breach of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, a law so defective that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.
I shall blog about my trial and sentencing hearing etc either later today or tomorrow.
Today, the most important thing is to think about forward strategy.
We see, in the Britain of today, a level of repression on free speech and/or freedom of expression never seen previously, not even during times of war, at least since the 17th Century.
Countries which are not cohesive, and which are sometimes called “diverse”, always have to have tyrannical police and secret police, and repressive laws. The modern paradigm, I suppose, was the Soviet Union.
My trial last November, and yesterday’s sentencing hearing was only one small example of the repression which is still increasing. Israel-lobby puppet Michael Gove introduced his “extremism” proposals and was supported by such as “Lord Walney” (the former MP, John Woodcock, who had to step down as MP after sex-pest allegations etc), who has always been a vocal advocate for Israel and its lobby in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Woodcock,_Baron_Walney#Adviser_on_Political_Violence_and_Disruption.
In fact, Gove, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, seems to be mainly targeting entirely non-violent British groups such as Patriotic Alternative, already attacked both by State agencies and private interests (as when Sam Melia and his wife, Laura Towler were “de-banked” for political reasons a few years ago). See also https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.
Incidentally, “Labour” supports the latest anti-free speech repression. At least, those with power in the Labour Party: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc; all Labour Friends of Israel members.
What I want to do here is look at “what now?“, in the context of a British society where free speech (especially speech critical of “certain groups”) is finished, at an end, extinct.
Nick Griffin was (also) on the right track when he tweeted (and I think that his views remain the same) that there was “no Parliamentary road” to power for us as social-nationalists, but that we should avoid getting involved in “terrorism” (hard to define, of course, but let that lie for now).
The Parliamentary road is no good mainly because the game is so rigged that the Chicago mobs of the 1920s would feel ashamed. Look at the latest Israel-lobby-procured “extremism” nonsense coming out of Gove and the rest. That means that entirely lawful bodies such as Patriotic Alternative (mentioned by name by Gove) would never be able to take part in elections (certainly not if they looked like having success), might well find it hard to hold bank accounts, or operate any “regulated” mass media etc.
Of course the “antifa” clowns (unwitting pawns of “others”) will think this all wonderful, at first. Later, of course, they will find themselves fed into the meat-grinder.
As for anything approaching the usual view of “terrorism”, that would have no chance even were it morally acceptable. The State holds all the cards— police, military power, secret and security services, arms and ammunition, the mass media (more or less), and pretty tight control over international travel; and so on.
I think that that has to be the way forward. It is in concord with Clausewitz and his views (in another context) re. concentration of forces, sometimes referred to as a kind of Schwerpunkt, or focussed point or area.
On this day in 1938, Austria became part of the German Reich, the forces of the Wehrmacht having crossed the border unopposed on the previous day, welcomed enthusiastically by crowds of Austrian people passed en route:
“On the morning of 12 March 1938, the 8th Army of the German Wehrmacht crossed the border into Austria. The troops were greeted by cheering Austrians with Nazi salutes, Nazi flags, and flowers.[57]
For the Wehrmacht, the invasion was the first big test of its machinery. Although the invading forces were badly organized and coordination among the units was poor, it mattered little because the Austrian government had ordered the Austrian Bundesheer not to resist.[58]
That afternoon, Hitler, riding in a car, crossed the border at his birthplace, Braunau am Inn, with a 4,000 man bodyguard.[53] In the evening, he arrived at Linz and was given an enthusiastic welcome.
The enthusiasm displayed toward Hitler and the Germans surprised both Nazis and non-Nazis, as most people had believed that a majority of Austrians opposed Anschluss.[59][60]
Many Germans from both Austria and Germany welcomed the Anschluss as they saw it as completing the complex and long overdue unification of all Germans into one state.”
[Wikipedia]
“Most people...” in the UK etc were no doubt being informed, or misinformed, by newspapers owned by or influenced by “the usual suspects” (the “you-know-who”…). The enthusiasm of Austrians for Anschluss was therefore a shock to them.
Their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has now reached £60,532. The minimum level of donation is a mere £4. Help these people and their cause.
[Laura Towler and her husband, Sam Melia, with one of their small children, another being expected to be born very soon]

“Russia responded to unprecedented Western sanctions with an “indecent gesture” – CBC.
In early February, Vladimir Putin joked that he wanted to show a “well-known gesture” to the sanctions-imposing West, but would not do so because there were “many girls in the room.”
Instead, the Russian president boasted about the country’s economy and its ability to expand its military-industrial complex in the face of unprecedented sanctions, writes CBC journalist Briar Stewart.
Indeed, over the past two years, the Russian government has managed to circumvent sanctions and limit inflation while investing nearly a third of its budget in defense spending. He also managed to increase trade with China and sell his oil to new markets, in part by using a shadow fleet of tankers to get around a price cap that Western countries hoped would reduce the country’s military budget.
In 2022, Western countries froze Russia’s sovereign assets worth $300 billion. Then more than 16 thousand sanctions were introduced. European airspace was closed to Russian aircraft, and hundreds of Western companies left Russia or curtailed their activities.
But today there are the latest iPhones and MacBooks on Russian shelves because government and business have largely been able to adapt. Russia has relied on Asia, and especially China, as its main economic lifeline. Russia’s ability to produce weapons and use its oil money to finance them is a pressing issue for Ukraine, which is struggling with arms and ammunition shortages, and for its allies.

Chuck Schumer came out of a meeting at the White House and said, ‘It’s simple, $60 billion and Ukraine will win. If you don’t give them $60 billion, they’ll lose.'”
How they plan. We’re now in a two-year bloody stalemate, and I think you really need to start asking yourself, is it worth spending another $60 billion to fan the flames of the bloody stalemate? Because every day more and more Ukrainians die, more and more Russian conscripts, more and more Ukraine is destroyed. If you care about the Ukrainian people, you should worry about this too.
We don’t have a winning strategy. The administration does not lay it out. If we are going to support Ukraine, it must be done in a way that forces Putin to come to the negotiating table and end this war. I don’t hear it at all. I hear that President Biden hasn’t even talked to Russia on this issue. And I would be very interested to know what happened in Istanbul shortly after the war began, when Boris Johnson, essentially halfway through the Biden administration, torpedoed the peace agreement.
So we really need to do a complete re-evaluation of this issue. And we should secure our own border before sending $60 billion down the rat hole to secure other countries.”
Quite. In fact, you could give the Zelensky regime USD $60BN or $600BN, and it would make no difference. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cannot “win”, even to the extent of “taking back” Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk, let alone anything more ambitious.
The present Ukraine is a failed state, and in fact a fake state.

“Russian troops advance even though Zelensky says Moscow’s forces are ‘stopped’ – Newsweek.
“Russia’s offensive has been stopped,” Zelensky told French broadcaster BFM TV on Monday. “Our command, our military stopped Russia’s offensive in eastern Ukraine.”
But Western analysts say Russian troops continue to advance in the Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Kharkov and Luhansk regions. “Russian troops recently achieved confirmed successes in the areas of Bakhmut, Avdeevka and Donetsk amid ongoing positional battles along the entire line of contact on March 12,” Newsweek quotes analysts.
In the Kupyansky direction there is progress in the area of the village of Sinkovka. In the south, Russian troops are regaining positions lost during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023. Fierce fighting broke out around such settlements as Robotino, Urozhainoye and Staromayorskoye.
To repel the Russian onslaught, Kyiv has mobilized some of its best units, equipped with American-made armored vehicles and tanks, Newsweek notes.“

So you import, say, an Indian who can work a computer (“high-skilled worker”), or an NHS hospital cleaner or nursing assistant from Africa (“key worker”), and then they all come— husbands, wives, “fiances” or “fiancees”, children (of any age), “wider family members” etc, few of which will contribute anything, and all of whom will need to use UK services— NHS, roads, rail, schools, you name it.
More important yet is the effect on UK demographics. In 1956, when I was born, 99% of the UK population was white, almost all Northern European. By 1989, that 99% had become about 95%, and now stands around 80% but dropping rapidly.
Present projections say that white people (“the people formerly known as British”) will be a minority in the UK by 2066, if indeed the UK as such still exists by then. I think that 2040 is a more likely date.

Toby, while I recognised you to be very much an ‘establishment conservative’ rather than a real one, I was prepared to let this slide in the hope that you gave a damn about free speech.
“Toad” is his right characterization. The fact is, that the “Free Speech Union” is part of the “controlled opposition” matrix: Breitbart, Toby Young, James Delingpole, Farage, Brexit Party, GB News, UKIP, Reform UK etc.
Anyone, or any organization, which adheres to pro-Israelism or pro the UK (or any other) Jewish lobby is contaminated and not worth taking seriously.
Here is Young, from 6 years ago:
“I’m currently in Israel on a press trip organised by Bicom — the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre. Bicom does a good job of getting experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to give talks to journalists and I’ve attended a few in their London offices. But this is the first time I’ve been on one of their legendary excursions to the Holy Land, which they organise about six times a year. In essence, you’re given a whistle-stop tour of the country while being briefed at every turn by senior ministers and officials on both sides of the divide. It’s seventh heaven for foreign policy nerds, but I also have another reason for being here, which is to weigh up the pros and cons of emigrating to Israel.
Believe it or not, my entire family is eligible for citizenship under the Law of Return because Caroline’s father is Jewish. And the idea of moving here is genuinely appealing because I’ve been fanatically pro-Israel since falling in love with the place aged 17. I had just failed all my O-levels and was mooning about feeling like an outcast when my father decided to send me to a kibbutz. It turned out to be the perfect antidote to my adolescent funk.
I found everything about Israel, particularly its origins, deeply affecting, and in spite of not being Jewish I felt as if I’d discovered my people at last. I was inspired by the example of pioneering Zionists like Theodor Herzl to take control of my own destiny. I would return to England, retake my O-levels, go to a sixth form and, God help me, apply to Oxford. And when it all worked out, I felt as if Israel and the wonderful example of its founders had saved me and I swore an oath that I would always defend the country from its detractors.“
[Toby Young, in The Spectator, 2018]
‘Nuff said?
I have just read the article, or polemic, written by one David Hansard (real name David Johnson, it seems). Basic premise— cut back on free speech (labelled “hate speech”) in order to protect (approved) free speech. I have heard that before…
What a final straw, such a shame. No choice but to cancel my subscription to the @SpeechUnion – unfollowed.
You should state your views, and those of the FSU, on this matter clearly and unequivocally. This is a critical case and your dilly-dallying on it is discrediting you and the FSU.
Like any msm-approved figure, “Toadmeister” runs scared of the Jewish lobby. If they were to turn on him, that would be his fake “free speech” and scribbling and TV talking head career over at once.
Sam Melia and his wife Laura Towler are heroic.
As for that “David Hansard” (David Johnson) character, his background seems opaque. More from him:
Nope. I'm sceptical of free speech absolutism, which has its own orthodoxy and is often intolerant of being challenged, and which seems to disregard the problems which come with permitting someone to post such messages in public.
“Permitting someone…”— that is the wrong starting point. Free speech on social, political, religious and historical topics, is a right, not a privilege granted by some “authority”, not something that should be licensed or allowed on application, or risked on pain of punishment.
Like many people, “David Hansard” seem not to really understand the idea of freedom of expression. He is all in favour of it so long as it does not cause “problems” in society (for those in power, or profiting by exploitation), or cause “divisions”.
In fact, the “divisions” in society are not caused by those talking about things, but by the underlying realities:
A subject close to my heart. After all, later this week a magistrate will sentence me for deemed breaches of the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, a prosecution procured by the malicious Israel-lobby pressure group (tiny but well-funded) which is pleased to call itself “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and which has been boasting online about how it has been trying to have me prosecuted for 7 years or more.
Seems obvious and also fair under the 1986 law that such intention was present, in light of the contents of the stickers – even if the stickers were not in themselves unlawful. That does mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. This is an extreme case.
“Hansard” once again throws in a typical argument often seen or heard: Melia’s case was “extreme”, and most people need not fear persecution or prosecution. Yeah, right!
Presumably, “Hansard” meant to tweet that “that does not mean every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited“. His Freudian slip tells the truth, though, despite his intention. Every anti-immigration opinion will soon be prohibited. Melia’s case is a clear signpost.
Already, almost anything not laudatory, and said about Jewish or Zionist behaviour, is almost by default deemed “grossly offensive”.
Incidentally, I notice that “Hansard”, despite having been on Twitter/X since 2012, has only 461 Twitter/X “followers”. When a pack of Zionist Jews connected with the “CAA” had my Twitter account closed down in 2018, I had over 3,000 “followers”, despite my only following about 50 accounts, mostly organizations. If someone had 3,000 “followers” back in 2018, the same person has at least 6,000 now, usually.
I do not know who or what that “David Hansard” is. What is his locus standi to be published, and/or boosted by Toby Young etc? I have no idea. Well, there it is.
Speaking of Sam Melia and Laura Towler, their crowdfunder [https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia] has, as of time of writing, smashed through the £60,000 barrier and stands at £60,374, and still increasing.
I urge everyone to send at least the minimum (£4) and a message of support. Stick it to the System and the “usual suspects”.

“Walked into a restaurant in London’s Chinatown last night, While waiting to be seated, some drunken fool, a person I’ve neither met before nor interacted with, sitting with other drunken fools, looks up at me out of nowhere, and asks rather loudly– “Are you Jewish?”
I was Stunned. I wasn’t dressed in anything traditional, nor had anything indicating my faith. The fact that it’s a bizarre thing to ask, not this idiot’s, business, and just a weird thing for him to have done, I was just shocked – realizing that fairly a year ago he wouldn’t have had the gall to do that 1 million different responses raced through my mind.
And to my surprise, (and I’m sure to my Mom’s satisfaction,) the one I chose was to just turn to my friend, carry on talking – and ignore the sheer stupidity I encountered. No point in wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty & the pig likes it. My pride in my Judaism is not going to override my common sense. Wishing you all a lovely Sunday.“
Strange how Jews, or many Jews, find it absolutely insulting to be recognized as Jews (as does the one tweeting above, notwithstanding that he claims to be proud to be a Jew).
I have lived in a number of foreign countries, and would quite often be asked, unexpectedly, “are you [whatever nationality]?” I did not find it insulting (as a matter of fact, I was often mistaken for American or German anyway, as well as, on other occasions, correctly identified as English).
Jews are different. They seem to find it a deadly insult to be identified as Jewish, no matter what.
What can one say? Not much, since free speech is all but dead in England…
Only now, writing that, did it come to mind that I had such an experience when hitch-hiking, aged early twenties, going between Hammersmith Flyover in London and Herefordshire late at night. 1980, I think.
I was picked up by a large truck, and that truck took me most of the way. En route, there was the usual desultory kind of conversation. Eventually, the driver asked me where I was from. I replied that I was presently living in London. The driver then asked, “yes, but where did you originally come from? What country?”
It transpired that that truck driver thought that I was not English but something else, but he could not guess what.
Not sure why the driver thought that I was from a foreign country; maybe because I was learning Russian and German (part-time). In fact, I had that very evening come straight from a small Russian conversation circle in Belgravia (at the GB-USSR Association, a cultural and para-diplomatic body funded by the Foreign Office). Maybe that had slightly affected my normal speech, though it seems unlikely.

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

Maybe a fake, Israel-lobby “National Government”, but once GE 2024 is held, the Conservative Party in Parliament might be reduced to 50 MPs. Where would then be the incentive for Labour to include any of those few MPs?
