Diary Blog, 4 March 2022, including Birmingham Erdington by-election result

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I myself scored 8/10.

I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 9 (in fact, I did “really” know the answer to question 9, but could not bring the name to mind, so did not award myself that one. #MoralHighGround…).

From the newspapers

“Peak Britain” in 2023?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11816591/How-Matt-Hancock-Priti-Patel-celebrated-news-Covid-crackdowns.html

“Ensuring lockdown and quarantine rules were stringently enforced became something of an obsession for Matt Hancock and the rest of the Cabinet as Covid cases continued to spiral throughout 2021. 

Leaked messages from his WhatsApp account show the Health Secretary, Boris Johnson and Priti Patel reacting to examples of police down on rulebreakers with almost childlike glee – hailing the cases as ‘brilliant’ and ‘superb’. 

In another exchange, Mr Hancock and Simon Case, the UK’s top civil servant, are seen joking about travellers being forced into quarantine hotels at airports – with Mr Case calling their plight ‘hilarious‘.”

[Daily Mail]

Hancock, Priti Patel, and that useless nerd Simon Case, all deserve a good kicking at the very least. The same is true of all ministers and MPs involved in the “panicdemic” nonsense.

One of the comments of the Daily Mail readers says it all:

“Emily1848, Birmingham, United Kingdom, moments ago

So now we see the contempt and actual joy with which Hancock, Patel and others felt and acted as they destroyed our freedoms and futures. All this mockery of the populations suffering at their hands, and yet they couldn’t even do their bloody jobs competently either!“

[Readers’ Comments, Daily Mail].

Lenin was right: “a revolution without firing squads is not worth much“.

Until recently, Russian people did not think of Ukraine, or Belorussia (now Belarus), or the Baltic states (the “pribaltika“), or other areas such as Kazakhstan (where I myself once lived for a year) as “foreign“, but rather as (during Soviet times) part of the same country as Russia, and/or as (since 1991) “the near-abroad“.

It goes further than that. Non-whites not only could never build our white European culture and civilization, nor its American, Australasian and other offshoots, but also are unable even to maintain what our peoples have already built.

That is the point of importance at present, as our white European and European-origined countries are swamped by non-whites. As the proportion of non-whites in the population increases, the level of the culture and civilization not only will not rise, but will start to fall; disastrously so.

You can see that everywhere now: in the UK, in Scandinavia, in the USA etc.

Would it matter if 99.99% of the UK population were to disappear, so long as the remainder (about 7,000) were both white English/British and on a decent cultural and behavioural level? I say not.

Can those figures be accurate? They seem remarkably modest.

Brave and brilliant actions. The most obvious enemies of the British people (apart from a few particular ethnic groups) are many “journalists” (scribblers), most TV talking heads, some lawyers, and most MPs.

That characterization of the 1980s is only, at best, a half-truth, I think, though I personally was not involved in ordinary (even radical) politics in that decade.

I knew people in the mid/late 1970s who belonged to the National Front and the League of St. George. Mostly very reasonable English (and a few Irish and Scottish, or other) people. The “knuckle-dragging” “skinheads” (etc) did exist (elsewhere), yes, but were a small minority.

“Far right” is, anyway, just a meaningless label. “Social-national” is more accurate.

The Israeli state was born, in the late 1940s, out of ethnic cleansing, murder, torture, intimidation, theft of land and housing, in fact every kind of criminality, all carried out by Jews who were the sweepings of the ghettos, criminal gangs, prisons, and concentration camps of Europe.

The Israelis covered up much of that, and spread the largely fake “holocaust” farrago around the world to create sympathy for the Jews in Israel and elsewhere. Now the ingrained evil is coming out very obviously, to such an extent that even some Jews (Sanders being one) cannot bear what is happening.

https://twitter.com/voodoobeans_/status/1631779584705216513?s=20

Emily Thornberry, aka “Lady Nugee”, a porcine freeloader who has a property portfolio (with her part-Jew husband) worth £5-10 Million, and who “earns” money from renting out houses etc, in addition to the MP salary, the generous Parliamentary expenses etc.

Emily Thornberry personifies much of the problem people have with Starmer-Labour. Not just the Jewish and Israeli connections, but the overall impression (I think accurate) that so many of these Labour MPs are people not far distant in lifestyle, money, and views from the “Conservative” MPs they claim to “oppose”.

cf. Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Jess Phillips etc.

In fact, or in my opinion, the only reason Emily Thornberry joined Labour in the first place is because she had a massive chip on her shoulder from her father having abandoned his wife (her mother) and Emily Thornberry herself, and the mother and daughter then having had to live for some years in a council house (and in what is generally an affluent town, Guildford , in Surrey, which must have stung even more). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Thornberry#Early_life.

I think that that mixture of snobbery, reverse snobbery, chip-on-shoulder resentment, and hypocrisy comes out in her pronouncements at times, such as her notorious “white van man” and “St. George’s flag” comments.

Like many people, I want the Conservative Party to be annihilated, certainly electorally (it’s a start, anyway) but, in our rigged binary electoral system, that does mean a massive Labour landslide, an “elected” Starmer-Labour dictatorship that might make that of Blair-Brown look mild.

There is no way out of this. We, the British people, have to grasp the nettle. The Conservative Party, destroyed, will lead, eventually, to the destruction also of the Labour Party, perhaps via the uprising of a new social-national party not yet in existence.

I had thought that a hung Parliament might be the best result in 2024 (if that is when the next general election comes), but now I think that the only way is to kill off 90% of the Conservative Party seats, even if at the expense of a huge Labour Party majority in the Commons.

That might also lead to extra-Parliamentary action.

Diary Blog, 23 February 2023, with thoughts around “open borders”, mass immigration, migration-invasion, and the Welfare State

Diary Blog, 23 February 2022

Talking points

The quotation directly above expresses a fact which many prefer to ignore. Note— not “disagree with”, but ignore. They do not want the truth, but comforting (?) lies.

The UK is almost open-borders now. The “British” Government (packed with Jews, Indians, you name it) has basically given up the struggle to defend our borders. In that circumstance, how long can even the semblance of a “Welfare State” be maintained?

What seems to have been happening in Britain is that the outward forms have been and are being maintained but, at the same time, the content has been, and is being, hollowed out.

Not just Welfare State services such as State benefit levels, but allied aspects of society: the NHS is one. The NHS still exists, but underfunding and mass immigration is testing it to the limit. NHS dentistry is disappearing, in fact has almost disappeared. The GP service is now a skeleton of what it was only a few years ago.

Of course, “Covid”, or “the Covid crisis”, or “the pandemic” is a very useful excuse as to why standards cannot be maintained. You (apparently, supposedly) cannot see a GP or a dentist “because of” the “panicdemic” of 2020-2021.

That has become the contemporary version of the 1940s British excuse for non-availability of goods and services, as when, in the film of The Cruel Sea, senior Royal Navy Reserve officer Jack Hawkins calls over a steward at (?) the Trocadero in London to complain about dust in the decanter of water on his table, only to be told “I’m very sorry, Sir, it’s the war, you know…“, to which Hawkins replies, wryly, “well, in that case, I should not want to make too much of it” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cruel_Sea_(1953_film)].

The same has been the case in very many areas of British life. When I was reading for the Bar in 1987, there was discussion about whether wigs and gowns would still be worn by barristers in the future. A wise old barrister replied that “they will get rid of everything else before they get rid of wigs in court“.

That turned out to be right. The Bar has changed radically since the 1980s, in a few respects for the better but in most respects for the worse, but those wigs are still there, at least in the Crown Court (though now more rare in civil cases, in both the High Court and in the County Court).

Look at the armed forces. The outward forms are still there, but the few remaining ships are merely like stumps sticking out of drought-hit fields. A couple of aircraft carriers without planes (!), and the officers and crews of warships (as seen on “reality TV”) seem pretty poor quality, at least from what is shown.

In fact, so useless are our armed forces now that “Boris” idiot recently suggested giving our remaining planes and tanks to the Jew Zelensky in Kiev, because the UK has no use for them! Johnson was derided, of course, but actually (while I would not want to support the Kiev regime) Johnson had a point.

The Navy now does little but ferry migrant invaders to the UK (!) and interdict drug smugglers (the only way to really stop the drug problem, though, is to hit the consumers in the UK, and hit them really hard).

Why do we even bother having a navy in those circumstances?

As to the Army’s tanks, they seem to be of no use at all here, and are only used for exercises and for occasional foreign misadventures such as Iraq, and that was decades ago.

The Royal Air Force? Most of its bases have been closed down, and most of the rest are really semi-disguised USAF bases.

Is there, likewise, much reality in the Monarchy? I think not. Not only The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, and Meghan Mulatta. Not only Prince Andrew, that useless and unpleasant freeloader. Not only the rest of them, but also their actual role. What are they for, really? Does their existence as “royals” really serve any purpose now?

The migration-invasion, and the general mass immigration into the UK, has ripped the stuffing out of this country. The original 1950s to 1970s immigration from former colonies turned Commonwealth countries was bad enough, but in the past ~40 years, and especially since about 1989, there has been a flood even from countries which which the UK has historically had few if any ties. That increased during and after Blair’s evil regime, i.e. post-1997.

The old idea was that immigrants, even non-whites, would just blend in with British people and their way of life. That was only a half-truth even half a century or more ago. Now, it is just not so; the numbers have become too great. Britain may be majority non-white as early as 2050, and even many of the European people here now are not British in any real sense; many are the rejected dross from the poorer parts on the continent.

It makes me laugh when I read in newspapers about how the UK is being “defended” by the armed forces, and by the security and intelligence bureaucrats. What are they now “defending”? Not the British people or their way of life, that’s for sure. That is being destroyed from within. Mass immigration. Births to non-whites. Corruption at Westminster. Cultural trash on TV , radio and elsewhere. Cheap hee-hawing by Jew comedians and others. All of that.

I tremble to think of what Britain might look like by 2050, let alone 2100, if we cannot reverse the process, or take the country in a new direction. I myself (b. 1956) will not be on Earth by then, but it may be that, before then, Fate will enable me to join with the best of my fellow Brits to change the mood music in the next 20 years. We shall see.

That graphic leaves out the Labour result in 2019— only 32.1%…

Of course, the popular vote share, the numbers of seats won or lost, and the end result, are two or three different things in the UK system.

At present, Labour is hugely ahead in the opinion polls.

I was of the view that Labour’s open door immigration policy (the real policy, not the “horseshit” fed to the public via the msm) would put voters off from voting Labour-label, but the “Conservatives”, under Indian money-juggler Sunak, are plainly bent on importing more millions, and have done nothing at all even to slightly reduce mass immigration, including the cross-Channel migration-invasion, so many people will just want to punish the Con Party even if knowing in their hearts that Labour will be no better in most respects— and worse in some.

Incidentally, that YouGov poll, if reflective of actual voting at the next general election, would give Labour the biggest Commons majority in history— a Commons majority of 430 [Labour 540, Con 20, LibDem 19, SNP 47, others 24 (inc. Northern Irish seats)].

That really would be “elected dictatorship”, especially with tyrannical Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves in Cabinet. See https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

That is what at any rate used to be the Consulate, the Embassy itself being nearby.

I remember standing in a long, slow line outside one of the gates in early 1993, the first time I needed a Russian visa.

In fact I had already been there once, in the 1980s, when I queued on behalf of my then girlfriend’s mother, who apart from being too aged to wait in line for hours, always seemed to have trouble there because she was born in pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg in or about 1908, and had insisted that her British passport reflect that and not (as per the silly Passport Office rule) Leningrad (the Passport Office staff always prefer to change places of birth to the latest name of the location, so “Tanganyika” is changed to “Tanzania” even if the latter was not in existence at the date of birth).

Of course, that 1980s visa for the old lady mentioned was a Soviet one, not a Russian one as such..

Incidentally, the fall of socialism in and after 1989, and the official end of the Soviet Union in 1991, brought a change in the way that the consulate treated its visitors. In the 1980s, an unwelcoming ambience and the strange little holes in the glass screen above the reception desk, as at old railway stations, the holes too low to speak through without stooping (they are —or used to be— everywhere in Russia, even at the Kremlin ticket office); in 1993, a new reception desk and no screen with little holes (in fact no screen at all, I seem to remember), and girls who actually smiled and were pleasant, unlike the sullen factotums of yesteryear.

The last two times I needed a Russian visa, in 1996 and 2007, I did not need to queue or to go there; commercial organizations will do it for you, at a price. I ended up going to Moscow again in 2007, but not in 1996, that visit having been called off at short notice, the very day before I was due to travel.

My own assessment, from 3-4 years ago, of Therese Coffey:

Deadhead MPs, An Occasional Series: The Therese Coffey Story

People of Britain: you know who your enemies are, and they are not the Russian people, not Putin, and not the so-called “far right” (social nationalists, who are fighting your fight)…

As far as ordinary System politics is concerned, the best result of any general election now is that the misnamed Conservative Party be simply wiped out, even at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship”. Once one half of the binary political scam has gone, sooner or later the whole rotten system will fall.

Meanwhile, the British people face high prices and shortages. Online repression means that I cannot suggest how to punish the freeloaders…

Actually, a friend of mine used to lunch quite often at the House of Lords in the 1980s and 1990s. Similar prices, or even cheaper, adjusted for inflation. Smoked salmon for pennies, main courses a couple of pounds.

In fact the tweet is mistaken, and the local newspaper report misleading. One untermensch was imprisoned for 12 years, the other for 10, meaning that, in fact, they will be out in 6 and 5 years respectively.

Odd though. How was the woman “lured” to the locus of the attack, a flat? Are we getting the full story here? I think not.

A little judicious “racism” might save many women and girls in the UK. Fact.

Even leaving aside the crime(s), what use are untermenschen of that type to the UK? They are nothing but a millstone round the collective neck. Useless humanoids. Get rid of them.

As said in relation to other matters, people know in their hearts what will eventually have to happen.

Saturday quiz

Well, a poor result this week, both for me and for political journalist John Rentoul— we both scored only 3/10. I did get the answers to questions 3, 4, and 9, arguably the easiest ones. John Rentoul got the same questions right that I got right.

I thought that I had question 1 nailed with “boudin“, but (I think) it turns out that that is a different kind of sausage. Not sure. If “boudin“ is the right answer, then I scored 4/10. [update: just saw the official answers, and the right answer for that question is not boudin, so a mere 3/10 it is, one of my worst results on this weekly quiz].

“Prevent”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11764775/Yes-Minister-flagged-beleaguered-counter-terror-Prevent-scheme.html

No-one who has seen the tweets posted on Twitter by some of the semi-educated cretins identifying themselves as belonging to “Prevent”, or its associated bodies, will have been surprised at the recent storm of criticism around it. Indeed, I myself blogged about the nonsense several years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

Now it turns out that the kind of tendentious idiots they employ have compiled a list of books, films, and TV series which “might interest the [so-called] “far-right”:

“Some of Britain’s most popular sitcoms and greatest works of literature were flagged as potential signs of far-Right extremism by a counter-terror programme.

The flagship Prevent scheme, recently the subject of a scathing audit, singled out comedies Yes Minister and The Thick Of It, the 1955 epic war film The Dam Busters, and even The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare as possible red flags of extremism.

The taxpayer-funded document included references to The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, 1984 by George Orwell and the poems of GK Chesterton. It also referenced films including The Bridge On The River Kwai, The Great Escape and Zulu.

Works by some of the world’s greatest writers were included as examples of warning signs of potential extremism, including Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Tennyson, Kipling and Edmund Burke. 

It almost seems like a joke.

The report even highlighted the BBC’s 1990s political thriller House Of Cards, John le Carre’s seminal spy trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Sharpe, the ITV drama set in the Napoleonic wars.

Inexplicably, it said the BBC’s Great British Railway Journeys, presented by former Conservative minister Michael Portillo, was of interest to the far-Right.

Historian and broadcaster Andrew Roberts said: ‘This is truly extraordinary. This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education.

Author Douglas Murray obtained the full list and discovered that one of his books had been given a red flag by Prevent.

Mr Murray wrote in The Spectator magazine: ‘A number of books are singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrongthink and therefore potential radicalisation… It seems that RICU is so far off-track that it believes that books identifying the problem that it was itself set up to tackle are in fact a part of the problem.’ He concluded that RICU’s work was ‘pathetic’ and called for ‘accountability’ for its errors and ‘sackings by the score’.

The list has emerged following a major review into the Prevent scheme by William Shawcross.

His report, published earlier this month, exposed serious failings in Prevent, warning that it applies a ‘double standard’ to Islamist and far-Right threats. The £49million-a-year scheme had prioritised countering far-Right activity above tackling the prime Islamist threat, it added.

The report said Prevent had scrutinised Right-wing material which ‘falls well short of the extremism threshold altogether’.“

[Daily Mail]

I should be prepared to bet that the mix of staff at “Prevent” includes dim types harvested from police and military “intelligence” rejects or retirees, probably quite a few embittered Asians or half-castes of the Neil Basu type and, very likely, Jews.

In fact, I should also be surprised were the Jew-Zionist element not very prominent or influential in all this, whether directly employed by “Prevent” or not. The notorious Jew-Zionist snoop organizations etc.

My blog post about this “Prevent” nonsense was written almost 5 years ago. Looks like I have been proven right again, if I say so myself…

“Earlier this month, a migrant from Moldova who had arrived in Ireland in September was charged with sexually assaulting a girl in Ballymun, another working-class area of Dublin. At his bail hearing, the court heard he had suffered head injuries after being confronted by up to 40 ‘vigilantes’ before police arrived to arrest him.”

[Daily Mail]

In the immortal line of Windsor Davies, “oh dear…how sad…never mind...”

“Last month, there were two ugly incidents in Finglas, a working-class district of the city, after rumours spread on social media that a local girl had been raped by a man who had recently arrived in the country.

An angry mob of about 200 surrounded a police station where the suspect was allegedly being held, with a ringleader telling the crowd: ‘The only way to f*****g deal with these c***s is burn them out of the f*****g place.‘”

[Daily Mail]

“Byzantine planning laws mean that only about 25,000 homes are being built each year, and around 11,500 Irish people are classified as homeless.

One of them, George Sturdy, whom I met on a protest march in Dublin this week, told how he was living in a shared hotel room rented by the government, having been evicted from a static caravan.

‘I’ve been on a waiting list for a council home for six years, and know people who have been waiting for almost 20 years. There’s a crisis with homes for Irish people, and you see them throwing open doors. What do you expect people like me to think?’“

[Daily Mail]

The conspiracy is transnational, and operates in Ireland, in the UK, in Germany, and all over Europe. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Google it.

In Ireland, a major conspirator was the (thankfully now deceased) bastard called Peter Sutherland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sutherland.

“Sutherland strongly advocated unrestricted immigration into the EU… multiculturalism is both inevitable and desirable…”the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine” any “sense of our homogeneity and difference from others...”

“Sutherland was the chairman of Allied Irish Banks (AIB) from 1989 until 1993.[15][3]“

“He was non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International“

“Sutherland was the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for International Migration until March 2017.[1][2] Appointed in January 2006, he was responsible for the creation of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).[1] He also served as President of the International Catholic Migration Commission, as well as a member of the Migration Advisory Board of the International Organization for Migration. He was a board member of Wallenberg-owned ABB and the Wallenbergs’ conglomerate holding company, Investor AB.”

“He served on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group until May 2014,[16] and was Honorary Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (from 2010), formerly Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (Europe) (2001–2010.”

[Wikipedia]

As I said, a truly major conspirator and enemy of Europe’s future.

Seems to confirm the general tenor of what I blogged a few days ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/02/15/diary-blog-15-february-2023/.

Part of the reason is simply that there are relatively few “working-class” jobs now. As blogged previously, in the UK, the old “proletariat” has been replaced —to a large extent— by both the “precariat” (people in unstable, shifting employment, and with periods of unemployment), and/or by a contemporary form of “lumpenproletariat” (the raceless, cultureless masses whose world revolves around trash TV, trash “music”, “selfies”, drugs, drink, cars, and State benefits).

Some of what Monbiot sometimes says is sometimes right, but here we see his ingrained, genetically-determined (?) Jewish urbanism outweigh his learned environmentalism, arguably.

Monbiot is in fact only half-Jewish.

Not that I (as supposed “far right” “extremist”) am on the side of farmers at all times, right or wrong. Far too many (in the UK) are just greedy grabbers and/or freeloaders (taking endless subsidies or other State payments).

However, there is (as in the Netherlands) a push now by sinister forces to destroy the countryside for entirely spurious environmental reasons; in reality, just another aspect of the attack by alien forces on the white Northern European people (yet another aspect being the push to get blacks and browns visiting the countryside and/or relocating from cities to rural areas).

An enemy of humanity. Totally degenerate.

Very true.

Reading that, though, and seeing the reference to Arsene Wenger (a football manager), it once again strikes me how odd it is that (soccer) football has become the sine qua non for the UK middle classes.

It started in the 1990s, I think, maybe in the Blair years of the late 1990s. Now it is ubiquitous. Every politician has to at least pretend to “support” a football team, and you see both men and women, even professional men and women, not only “supporting” some team or other, but (apparently) genuinely and indeed passionately so.

It makes me wonder whether it is a substitute for ideas, ideology, or political partisanship, now that all the System parties are almost identical in policy terms and personnel, and now that any other ideological position apart from “mainstream” LibLabCon is deemed “extreme” (and probably “antisemitic”).

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/alarm-at-keir-starmers-selection-stitch-ups-has-spread-beyond-the-left_uk_63ea7625e4b07f036b9e842e

It makes me laugh that scribblers and MPs write much about the almost meaningless “right/left” labels, and occasionally about “antisemitism” (always from the viewpoint that it is, supposedly, “bad”), but rarely directly about the Jewish influence that now more than influences (put shortly, controls) the two main System parties.

I know what I would like to do to most of the MPs of both main System parties, and it would not be to vote for them.

Well, there it is. In this case political power certainly does come out of the barrel of a gun…

Not that the matter will ever be put to the actual Ukrainian people (beyond opinion polling). The regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky has shut down opposition parties, arrested the leaders and supporters of the same, and also banned trade unions and other organizations. His government may be, and is, a shambolic, kleptocratic mess, but when it comes to repressing political dissent it is efficient enough.

That of course is the problem faced by political leaders of any kind. They cannot be expert in all the fields over which their imprimatur is decisive, so it comes down to which “experts” or “specialists” they trust, unless their decisions are to be completely arbitrary in nature.

A political leader must inevitably always be a generalist, though he (or she) may be expert in one or two fields (eg Margaret Thatcher, a chemist who was also a tax barrister). However, what about all the other areas of policy, such as education, railways, military hardware, grand strategy, waste disposal and the general environment, intelligence and security etc?

You see all of that in the decisions of Adolf Hitler, among many others.

Hitler was, or became, fairly expert in some areas of military policy and strategy, and also knew much about art, architecture, and more academic fields such as history, religion and philosophy. In some other areas of policy or knowledge, he knew not much, yet had to decide upon them, a problem made worse by the structural constraints of the National Socialist state, meaning fuhrerprinzip or autocracy. The leader had to decide.

These factors affect the UK as well, for example at present. We have people who are pretty ignorant at the top (e.g. the recent Prime Ministers), and yet they have to decide high policy affecting diverse matters such as foreign policy, military and NHS procurement, law and order, freedom of expression, intelligence and security, transport etc.

There is no one answer, but having MPs, ministers, and prime ministers who are not such stupid deadheads as “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), Therese Coffey etc would help.

Incredible, even in an age of lazy and/or ignorant journalism. Has Guardian scribbler Gaby Hinsliff thought to examine the sheer volume of mendacious invention built into the “Jack Monroe” “backstory” and fundraising? Evidently not, even though numerous really poverty-stricken people have been fleeced by the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”.

Which continues. As of today, 502 utter mugs each continue to send “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 a month, every month, via the Patreon website…

Society would be better off if every one of those interviewees ceased to exist.

The Jews have been screeching about Roald Dahl for years, mainly because he recognized what Jews are like even while (in my view wrongly) saying also that Adolf Hitler was “a stinker” (Dahl also said that he was right about the Jews and their behaviour).

I doubt, though, that Toby Young’s “Free Speech Union” will mention the fact that the Jews are behind the attack on Roald Dahl. The “FSU” has never said a word to protest expressly against the Jew-Zionist attacks on free speech in the UK and elsewhere; neither has it said a word in defence of those persecuted by Jew-Zionist orgs which have persistently made false accusations to Twitter, Facebook, employers, professional and regulatory organizations, police etc; see my own experience (of several), dating back about 18 months: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

Scottish National Party

As blogged previously, I do not necessarily oppose “Independence” for Scotland, but it seems that many Scots are adamantly opposed, and that either there is no majority for it or only a very small majority.

I suspect that many Scots think “what Independence?” when Scotland would probably still be in NATO (i.e. under de facto American/NWO control), still in the EU (i.e.under EU control), still subject to the diktats of international finance-capitalism, and overall almost certainly poorer per capita.

Still, if a significant majority of the Scots were to clamour for “Independence”, I would say “so go…“, but it really would have to be 60% at a bare minimum; in reality, to make it work, 75% or more.

The SNP had almost no MPs until 2015 [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons] and has not repeated that 2015 high despite now being fairly well entrenched as ruling party. 48 out of 59 Westminster MPs, but only 64 out of 129 in the Scottish Parliament, which latter represents a vote-share below 50%, and probably represents also a truer reflection of the party’s popularity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#Scottish_Parliament_2.

The SNP is even less secure in terms of local councils: 453 out of 1,226 council seats in the latest elections (2022), though that is its best performance ever, and does put the SNP in first place: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#Local_councils.

Speaking personally, for me the SNP is fake “nationalism”, having little to do with race and culture.

I do not think that the SNP will fall back to where it was before 2015. It has an electoral niche, which is a kind of social-democracy in policy terms, but underpinned by the faux-“nationalism” which sets it apart, superficially, from the other System parties “up there” (I am on the southern coast of England). The SNP of course is a System party. You only have to look at the lip-service it pays to the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby.

The SNP has also been even more repressive in terms of free speech than the Westminster regimes of recent years; Police Scotland has embraced its Poundland Stasi role with unseemly alacrity.

I imagine that many Scots, perhaps a majority, will prefer to stick with the UK rather than become poorer outside it. Whisky, tourism, and financial services cannot provide income enough to support an “independent” Scottish state, and North Sea oil/gas, even if partly under control of Edinburgh, is (arguably) a declining or depreciating asset, especially if supposedly “green” policies are pursued.

In terms of Westminster governments, though, the 59 Scottish seats are important. Without them, the UK Labour Party will find it difficult to form a government (even with SNP support), unless the presently-forecast huge landslide actually happens; such a landslide may happen this year or next but, if so, will not be repeated.

The trigger for the resignation may have been the SNP’s crazed promotion of the trans nonsense, but Sturgeon was “too big for her boots” in other ways as well, pretending that she was (sort-of) a world statesman and leader of a (sort-of) state.

Nicola Sturgeon has often been compared (approvingly or not) to the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who resigned not long ago. A lazy comparison though, arguably; after all, New Zealand is over 103,000 square miles in area, has over 5,000,000 people, and is a recognized state.

Scotland, though also having over 5,000,000 people, is only 30,000 square miles in area and, though a distinct country historically and to some extent culturally, is not a state, and has not been since 1707.

There is, though, no reason why Scotland cannot be a state again, so long as its people are willing to pay the price in various ways. It is clear, surely, that about half are not.

The most egregious lie of “Jack Monroe” must be that, when Grenfell Tower was still burning, she went there (why? 60 miles from Southend where she lives), was “waved through the police cordon” (how? why?), and pretty much took charge (why? She did at one time, long before, have a job at the Essex fire brigade, but only answering the telephone). She also claims to have had the building plans of Grenfell Tower (how? why?).

Incidentally, while (as of today) 502 utter mugs are still each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 each month via Patreon, her recent book has bombed. According to Amazon, it is selling about 268 copies per month at present, and secondhand hardback copies are up for sale for as little as £7, only a month after publication.

“An Israeli firm sought to influence more than 30 elections around the world for clients by hacking, sabotage and spreading disinformation, according to an undercover media investigation published Wednesday.

Following the latest revelations, Israel might also face increased pressure to rein in its cutting-edge cyberware and technology sector which was spotlighted in another media investigation led by Forbidden Stories in 2021.

It highlighted how the powerful Israeli-made Pegasus spyware had been sold by the cyber intelligence company NSO Group Technologies to governments and used against at least 50,000 people around the world.“

Two fakes. A “Conservative” fake, Lee Anderson, who wants to say that State benefits are OK or even too generous, and a “poverty expert” fake, “Jack Monroe”, who is making money (as the first fake truly remarked about her on GB News last year) “off the backs of the poor“, and cheating people in several ways.

“Jack Monroe”, the grift that keeps on giving…oh, no, wait… I meant to say “taking”…

…and, yes, 498 mugs are still each sending her between £3.50 and £44 (!) via Patreon every single month. One of the most successful grey-area “near”-frauds I have ever seen.

West Lancashire by-election

The result of the West Lancashire by-election has been announced. See https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11735381/Tory-woe-Labour-sails-victory-West-Lancashire-election.html.

The by-election was caused by the standing-down of incumbent MP Rosie Cooper, a poor MP in my opinion, who at one point wanted England and Wales to institute no-jury trials (“Diplock courts”, as used in Northern Ireland) for defendants accused of politically-motivated crimes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Cooper. She was also, at one time, vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

The reason why Rosie Cooper stood down (at the age of 72) was because she will now be getting two or three times her MP salary, as head of an NHS Trust.

As to the inevitable Labour victory in the by-election, no surprise. Labour’s vote share of 62.3% compares to 52.1% in 2019.

The Conservative vote-share fell from 36.3% to 25.4%. Poor but scarcely unexpected. In fact, the last time a Conservative Party candidate won West Lancashire was in 1987: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Lancashire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The other candidates did not shine. Reform UK got 4.4%, but there again, its predecessor Farage-vehicle, Brexit Party, scored 4.3% in 2019. The Greens and Libdems ended up more or less where they had been at the 2019 election; both lost their deposits, as did Reform UK (and the Monster Raving Loony).

What can we take away from this? That Labour remains fairly solid in at least some historically-Labour areas, that the Conservative Party is going nowhere in such areas, and that the two main System parties face no threat from Reform UK, the LibDems, or the Greens.

The most interesting fact about the by-election is that the turnout was only 31.4%; well over two-thirds of the eligible electorate could not be bothered to vote. If a party were to exist that could energize the remaining 68.6%, it might be a different story.

Incidentally, the new MP is one Ashley Dalton, about 52-53 years old, a widow who “identifies as LBGT [and as] a gay woman” [Wikipedia: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Dalton].

China, Russia and Europe

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Motherland]

We are sliding towards a situation in which the Western powers may find themselves in direct conflict, meaning war, with Russia. I have blogged about the madness of that, which is being driven mainly by secret cabals and ruling circles in the West. The Jewish element is prominent, as it was before other senseless (but for “certain types” very profitable) wars, such as the First and Second World Wars.

Let us pray that the next secretly-planned war does not happen. I want to examine briefly what would happen later, if any such conflict were to happen.

Were a truly major war to happen between the NWO powers and Russia, if that war went nuclear and no matter who might claim “victory”, the fact is that that would leave China in a position of world supremacy.

It might be said that China today is a massive regional military power, but already a world economic superpower. That position mirrors that of the USA between the end of the American Civil War (1864) and the entry of the USA into the Second World War in 1941 (some may argue earlier, when the USA entered the First World War in 1917, but I prefer 1941).

Until 1941, the American economic leadership of the world had not been translated into military reach worldwide. China is now in a similar position.

True, the American economy is still —arguably— in first place, if not exactly triumphant but, before the Second World War, the European economies also held sway over much of the world, exercising that power via the European empires— British, French, Dutch, and the smaller ones: Italian, Spanish etc, the German Empire having been broken up and given to others after the post-1918 Versailles Conference.

In 1939, the USA was the challenger or upstart power, but today its own world power is challenged, not by Russia but by China, which was, until the fall of socialism in 1989, of relatively little importance.

Incidentally, the fall of socialism happened in China too, though it was disguised in form. The form remained, but the content changed.

Now look at China! Its military and naval power is still regional rather than that of a true superpower, but for how long?

If there is a war between Russia and the Western powers, China will pick up the pieces, first of all in Russia.

Russia has had a demographic problem for decades, even before the fall of socialism in 1989 (officially, in Russia, 1991). Average death of men before age 60, women somewhat later and, together with that, the very low birthrate.

Chinese people have been gradually infiltrating into the former Soviet Far East and Eastern Siberia for over 30 years; traders, farmers etc. Even now, the borders of Russia are secure not through Russian power but because China prefers not to use its power. Not yet, that is.

In Western Europe and including the UK, the Chinese influence becomes ever stronger, inflated by the mass immigration that we have seen and continue to see. The “Boris”-idiot government invited 5 million Hong Kong Chinese to settle in the UK. That dwarfs the cross-Channel migration-invasion.

It might be argued that Chinese immigrants (especially from Hong Kong) are “useful” as opposed to the Albanians, Somalis and Afghans etc coming across the Channel in small boats. Perhaps so; little or no argument on that, but such vast numbers as in the projected Hong Kong influx have an influence on society which cannot be denied.

I want the European peoples to join with the Russian people to form the foundation for a later super-race. That cannot happen easily if Europe and Russia are flooded with other peoples, whether the blacks and browns now flooding Europe, or an even more enormous Chinese influx.

Having said that, one could perhaps see some advantages to an overall Chinese rule over Russia and Europe, if limited in time especially. The Jew-Zionist influence would be cut back or destroyed, for one thing. Also, there would be a curtailing of American influence generally across Europe. The Chinese could not rule directly over all of Eurasia; they would have to appoint suitable national satraps. Perhaps here is where— or rather how— social-nationalism can finally rise up again over Europe.

Russia was ruled by its own Imperial power, then by (mainly Jew-engendered) Sovietism. Those are now both now merely passages in Russian and world history. Russia was forced to its knees in the 1990s, and “Putinism” is quite clearly merely (and like Yelstsin’s shambolic, corrupt, and largely Jewish-owned society of the 1990s) a transitional phase.

Look at the embarrassing and bloody fiasco in Ukraine, a product of the ill-discipline, corruption, and disorder in, not only the Russian Army and GRU, but in Russian society itself.

Ukraine should have and could have been taken over swiftly, and almost bloodlessly.

The worm in Russian society, eating it from within, is not new. It has existed for hundreds of years. It existed within Sovietism, and had destroyed all but the shell of that by the late 1970s. The Jewish aspect was prominent in that, but far from the only matter of importance.

A multiform decadence. Alcohol was also a large part of the problem. Even Andropov and (a very different type) Gorbachev were helpless to reform the Soviet Union, meaning Soviet society. The rot had gone too far even for the lash to be effective, were it even capable of being used by a decadent political establishment.

Ideological emptiness also lies at the heart of the Russian problem as it now is. Old-style religious faith and loyalty to Tsar (“Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality“), and Marxism-Leninism too, are gone forever. Mere Putin-style faux-nationalism can replace neither.

I have no faith that Russia could resist Chinese takeover; I wish I had. However, China will no doubt wait until the NATO/NWO-Russia conflict plays out, then probably just gradually take over, like an incoming tide.

Only the Aryan can give life. Only European people have the inbuilt, inherent, ability to mutate over time into a new and more advanced race-form. God grant that we find the way, whatever happens on the military-political front.

Both either idiots or tricksters. Food for 11p (“Jack Monroe”)? Nonsense. Food for 30p (Lee Anderson)? Also nonsense. Even a slice of toast and a can of cheap sardines costs nearly a pound. This race-to-the-bottom has to end.

As Hitler said, “we will not give up that which makes life worth living“.

I think that this desperate clutching at straws, or at men and women of straw, is a symptom of the fact that old-style socialism died in and after 1989, and so many many people have latched onto these pathetic examples of pseudo-socialist fake “protest” etc: Owen Jones, “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson, Billy Bragg etc.

The main “grifters” make a living out of a certain “constituency” (quite directly— “Jack Monroe”, Owen Jones, and the Julia Grace Patterson creature all have Patreon, PayPal, and other donation-sources), but in the absence of real socialism (of any kind) they and their followers have attached themselves to one fake “cause” after another: “Black Lives Matter”, “Remain/Rejoin” (EU, a finance-capitalist bloc), “LGBTQXYZ”, “Ukraine”, “Covid” (the facemask nonsense etc), “refugees welcome”, Greta Nut and the other similar cretins.

Their natural home of the past, the Labour Party, has become very obviously (with the Conservative Party) just the other side of the same coin. They are politically homeless, and have no real ideology. Which is why they obsess about “deplatforming” those whose ideas they dislike. They cannot see that they have become both politically and socially irrelevant, an historical cul-de-sac.

My assessment of Therese Coffey (with updates) from 3-4 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

My reaction to such a poll is divided into “hope the fake Conservatives get wiped out” and/but “Ah, a Labour victory means that Jew-Zionist doormats and anti-British wannabee dictators such as Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, and even thick Jamaican ignoramus David Lammy, will be in the Cabinet…“

If the Con Party cannot find a way of being (seeming) more credible soon, they’re toast.

If someone entirely opposed to me says “the sun is shining” and I look for myself and see that the sun is shining, then I agree— the sun is shining.

That first tweeter, “@DebbyHallett_LD” is probably fairly typical of many of those that are favourable to “Jack Monroe”: retired, a LibDem councillor, probably comfortably-off (living, as she does, in the generally affluent Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire).

Well-meaning, no doubt, but more or less asleep. What’s the betting that she also supports the migration-invasion, “Black Lives Matter”, wearing facemasks, and “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime)?

I have blogged previously about that Kafka-esque “service”, HMRC. ‘Nuff said, and thankfully I have not had any need to engage with that shambles for a decade or more now.

To be fair to her, that Debby Hallett tweeter does seem to be very concerned about the English countryside, and Nature, and is helping via her local council work. It is all too easy not to see what positive sides people have.

…and, almost 9 months since “Jack Monroe” threatened defamation action against Con Party MP, Lee Anderson, as well as against commentator Martin Daubney and others, nothing has happened, except “Jack Monroe” occasionally threatening less prominent tweeters with the same. She is not, of course, “a man of straw”, but a kind of “woman or binary something or other of straw”…oh, and her (at least, at one time) Jew-Zionist lawyer, Israel-based Mark Lewis, has as yet not emerged from his kennel to bark at anyone in respect of “Jack Monroe”.

Interesting tale, and Leigh Vaughan-Henry sounds like a good fellow, though I doubt that Wales Online can be taken automatically as accurate, in view of the fact that that particular report has a photo of the MI6/SIS HQ building in London captioned as “the MI5 building at Vauxhall, London“…

As a matter of fact, I am just now reading the book on which that report is based and, having almost finished it, can recommend it as a fairly good read, though the author does tend to let his personal views intrude now and then. Also, he does not examine in the round some aspects of why people did this or that at such a period of modern history.

[central Warsaw in ruins, 1940s]

If I am not mistaken, that photo of wartime Warsaw shows the main square in the Old Town quarter of the city, which I recall well from 1988 and 1989, when I visited Poland a few times. In 1988, I visited a famous Polish restaurant, the Bazyliszek (Basilisk), a couple of times, once for dinner (I think— that was, after all, 35 years ago), and once for a drink at the bar. That restaurant was in a building near one of the corners of the square.

The square, painstakingly reconstructed in the postwar era from old plans and photographs, now looks as it did before the damage done during WW2 (mainly in 1939 and 1944):

[Old Town Market Square, Warsaw; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Town_Market_Place,_Warsaw%5D
[Warsaw Old Town Market Square, 1945]

Human beings are remarkably resilient, a fact which I examined in a blog post a few years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

It would be far better to avoid even worse and more widespread devastation in Europe today than to repeat such terrible occurences, but the levers of power are often in the hands of reckless and/or stupid and/or evil “leaders”. You only have to think that Liz Truss, that very mediocre and uneducated woman, was actually Prime Minister of the UK for a short while. Anything might have happened. It still might.

Most of the notionally “independent” African states slid to chaos, corruption and civil war quite quickly after they ceased to be colonies. Why? Because the blacks were incapable of organizing anything once white (i.e. European) people left. There are many examples: Congo/Zaire, Ghana, Nigeria, Somalia, Tanganyika/Tanzania, Zambia etc.

More recently (from 1980) Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, which I myself saw prior to that, in 1977. It continued to function, up to a point, for several years, because a small proportion of the population was still European. Then most left, leaving Zimbabwe a swamp of corruption and near-chaos.

South Africa at one time (1911) had 22% of its population European; by 2010, that had shrunk to 8.9%, and may now be as low as 5%. The black population, under European/white rule, exploded in the 20thC.

After the whites of South Africa gave up their leading role in 1994, they have come to understand that, under black rule, there is no decent life for white people. Many have emigrated; others work overseas while keeping a home of some sort in South Africa. I used to talk at breakfast with a group of South African doctors who worked in the NHS at Exeter (UK) and other places, and who used to stay, as I did at times, at a farmhouse B&B in Devon.

It is not just a question of government. White Europeans ran everything else in the old South Africa. Now, most official posts are in the hands of blacks. Look at the results.

Cape Town very nearly ran out of drinking water (indeed, all water) a few years ago, because the African rulers and administrators had not prepared for drought: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town_water_crisis. The city was saved only by persistent heavy rain just at the time of greatest crisis; by chance or fate, in other words.

Now we see that South Africa is running short of electricity, in a country where solar power should surely have a leading role.

In other words, South Africa is going (as I always knew it would) the same way as the rest of Africa, though more gradually.

That idiot is such a hypocrite that he probably does not know that he is a hypocrite.


Incidentally, reading Clooney’s entry in Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clooney], I realized that I have seen not one film or TV series featuring him. That must be why I was puzzled, many years ago, when I kept hearing things about him on the TV; I was thinking “George Clooney? Who’s that?“.

He has good taste in domestic property, though. His house on a river island at Sonning, Berkshire, is very classic (Georgian), and in a beautiful location across the Thames from some of the grounds of the school I unwillingly attended in the nearly 4 years 1970-1973; and his house on Lake Como, in the Italian Lakes region, is also beautiful and in a beautiful place.

The evil and yet idiotic “SAGE” “scientists”, msm “me too” groupthinkers, and UK “health” bureaucrats would have been right at home in early Renaissance Italy, insisting that the Sun goes around the Earth and describing the truth as “heresy”.

State “quiet killing” of hundreds of thousands of elderly people thought of, by the State, by ministers and by most MPs, as simply “surplus to requirements”.

I examined some of the history of “democracy” a few years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

“Jack Monroe” attracts the very worst supporters on Twitter, perhaps even worse than the “FBPE” loonies. Her core “constituency” is not “the poor”, but the unpleasant and/or mentally-disturbed.

I think that there are at least half a dozen regular “Jack Monroe” Twitter “sock accounts” regularly posting while she pretends to be “taking (another) rest from Twitter”.

It took me a while to realize the extent of it, but my opinion now is that “Jack Monroe” is, or has become, an outright fraud.

Incidentally, the new book by “Jack Monroe”, Thrifty Kitchen (which seems to consist, judging from what one reads in the msm and on Twitter, of recipes from the BBC and other sources already available for free online), is not selling.

At present, according to the Amazon Book Sales Calculator, only a few dozen copies a day, if that (about 600 per month) are being sold on Amazon (which must be the major outlet). In fact, nearly new copies (the book was only released a few weeks ago) are available on Amazon for as little as £7.

I was interested to see the reviews on Amazon. The 5* ones (about 70%), may or may not be genuine, and have only a handful of up-votes each, suspiciously, whereas the 20% of reviews awarding only 1* (with some wishing that they could award zero stars) have hundreds of up-votes: 400, 500, or more. Telling.

All the same, 498 utter mugs are still signed up on Patreon to send her a total of between £1,743 and £21,912 per month (probably in the region of about £5,000, realistically). The very silly, or outright loonies, I should imagine.

That composer, of whom I had never heard until today, seems to have been one of the millions displaced by the large-scale disruptions and dislocations of the 20th Century.

Stray thought about the NHS

I suppose that, as usual, I have to preface my remarks by repeating that I do favour the core principle of the NHS, i.e. that it should be free at point of use.

Beyond that, I was just trying to think of any other service or product which is defended mainly on the ground that it is free or cheap. Air travel using “low-cost” rubbish airlines, such as Ryanair? I suppose that that is one.

I understand that what people do is pay a ludicrously-small amount (eg £50, £20, or even £10) each way for the flight, but then have to accept that everything usually provided gratis is charged for, and that the flight will land a long way from where you really want to go, such as “Paris Beauvais” airport (Beauvais is 55 miles from Paris) or, I think in the past, even “Paris Amiens” airport (Amiens is 160 miles from Paris by road or rail).

Still, I see the point. Hard to complain about £10 each way London (Stansted) to/from La Rochelle, even if the service etc is near rock-bottom (though I concede that I myself have never used Ryanair). Incidentally, La Rochelle Airport is right by the city.

Ryanair is very successful, so people obviously buy into the concept at the prices on offer. See also: https://www.ryanair.com/flights/gb/en/flights-to-france.

What else do people accept almost purely on the basis that it costs little? Not much, I think. State primary and secondary education? Possibly.

Still, Ryanair flights do arrive as promised, much of the time. Can the same be said of the NHS? I fear not, or often not, these days.

No-one (except perhaps the ultra-wealthy) wants to swap the NHS for an American-style system, but there are alternative systems that might be examined. What is not helpful is for people to shout out meaningless slogans about “our NHS” etc, to refuse to see what a poor service it is often —not always— offering now, and to refuse to think about how (beyond simply funding it better) the NHS might be improved.

Interesting. Is that a ploy to get “Boris”-idiot back? Or maybe some of them want sinister “let’s bomb Russia” candidate Tobias Ellwood as PM. That would solve all our problems— permanently…

While it is true that Labour are only popular by default, in a basically unfree and binary system, they are still well ahead at present.

I am not so sure that the Conservative Party might not be electorally better-off ditching the Indian money-juggler, and even going back to “Boris”-idiot, but better not that latter; they really need someone relatively untainted, and someone British/English, i.e. not non-white. That might not save them completely re. the next general election, but it might be enough to produce a hung Parliament.

I sense that Labour is, even in these conditions of shambolic incompetence in government, not truly “popular”, but many people are becoming desperate for something. If only there were a proper social-national party, credible and organized, but there is none.

A new Conservative Party leader would mean yet another unmandated or unvalidated PM, the fourth since 2015 (or fifth, if you include the first two years of “Boris”-idiot). What price “democracy”?

On the blog five years ago

The Train is Hitting the Buffers

Though my prediction for the next general election (2019) was wrong (I thought hung Parliament or small-majority Labour win), in my defence I can say that that election did not, in the event, happen until almost 2 years after the blog was posted (blog— January 2018, but General Election— December 2019). I think that the rest of the assessment has held up quite well.

Peter Hitchens

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11661589/PETER-HITCHENS-Sending-Ukraine-tanks-turn-Europe-one-big-radioactive-graveyard.html.

“This was the moment at which we began the unstoppable descent into terrible danger which so many of us will bitterly regret in times to come.

I won’t waste time here going over the question of who started the Ukraine war, or even why. Most people don’t want to know and refuse to think about it, or to look up the facts. They defame and abuse anyone who tries to tell them. So to hell with that.

When the Defence Secretary announced that British tanks were going to Ukraine, not one MP raised any doubts or opposed the move. Not one. To read the record of the non-debate is like reading the proceedings of some Communist fake parliament, supine and brain-dead.

The country where political freedom was born has decided not to bother being free any more.

So it is left to me to tell you that it is an act of grave stupidity for the West to supply Ukraine with modern tanks. Unlike everyone else in the media and politics, I am not a military expert. But I know what tanks are for, and it is not defence.

What we have just decided to do is to prolong and deepen the war. Maybe Ukraine’s new tanks will sweep all before them. Maybe they will bog down. Maybe they will try to take Crimea. Maybe they will soon be taking part in a Victory Parade in Red Square. I don’t know. But if they cross into what Russia regards as its own territory, then do not be surprised by anything which happens.

...there is the real possibility that a large chunk of Europe might be turned into a radioactive graveyard and that American conventional retaliation for this (which will be furious and powerful) will take us a stage further into the world of horror, loss, flight, pestilence and poverty which always follows war.”

[Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday].

Exactly.

The Cold War was frozen, formalized, mutual aggression. The world came close to disaster more than once, but the situation was at least stable. That was hard on the peoples of occupied Central and Eastern Europe, caged by the “Big Three” agreements of the WW2 period (Casablanca, Teheran, Yalta, Potsdam), but actually life there was not always and everywhere terrible— just worse (usually, mostly) and —overall— less free than in the (better parts of) Western Europe and North America.

That was better than nuclear war across Europe, the Soviet Union, and the USA.

The gradual collapse of socialism in the 1956-1989 period of 33 years meant that one of the two main pillars of that stasis collapsed, meaning that outside socio-economic and other forces could start to flow into what had been Soviet territory..

Without Soviet power in place, the whole Soviet system fell apart quite quickly. By 1991, the Soviet Union was history. Western goods and ideas flooded Russia and the newly-liberated or created states. Ukraine was, for the first time in history, an independent state (a simplification, but basically correct).

Instead of a genuine attempt to help Russia and other former components of Sovietism transition to a better society, there was a scramble to rule over Russia, and to exploit its people, taken part in not only by Jewish (yes, and other) interests in the West but also by Jews inside Russia, the so-called “oligarchs”. Some, such as Boris Berezovsky, have died (probably murdered, despite living in the UK), others have increased their security and moved permanently to the UK, USA, Israel etc.

I myself saw elements of that scramble, not only when I first visited Moscow in 1993, and not only in my year in Kazakhstan (1996-97) but also in other ways, e.g. by my sitting (1995-1996) on the Committee of the Central Asia and Transcaucasia Law Association [CATLA], a body set up by large law firms with interests in the post-Soviet states, with UK Government assistance.

Also later, when back in London, in the Caribbean, and elsewhere.

On the foreign policy side, the “New World Order” [“NWO”] tried to take over Russia, and nearly did so when Yeltsin was President. What prevented it was a combination of circumstances: Russian pushback fuelled by wounded pride, Putin taking over as President, the collapse of the dotcom bubble in the West, and the focus of the NWO shifting to its other major interest, i.e. destroying the states hostile to Israel; that was after the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.

The military aid being given has gone from small items of defensive “kit” (in the British military term) to large items of offensive armament, as Hitchens writes. There are few weapons more aggressive in offence than a tank.

I recall being at a CATLA meeting in London in late 1995 or early 1996 when an account was given of a report that day by telephone from Dushanbe, Tadzhikistan, then the epicentre of a civil war. The report had had to be curtailed because the person on the end of the line had suddenly said “I’m going— a tank has just come round the corner.” End of conversation.

As I recently blogged, 14 British tanks may not be much, but the Zelensky regime is all but demanding that other European states provide 300. Still a small number compared with those in action in 1943 at Kursk (over 8,000 tanks in total); however, in Egypt, Rommel’s initial advance on Alexandria involved about 300 German tanks.

The point is that the war is now getting to the point where, in the absence of a ceasefire or negotiated settlement, the Russians either have to recruit, train and deploy an army vast enough and powerful enough to overwhelm the forces of the Kiev regime in 2023, or go nuclear (whether tactical or even strategic).

The USA and UK (etc) are getting to the point where they might be seen as actual participants in the war.

Leaving the huge forces (mainly American) of NATO aside, there is no way for the Kiev regime to win this. Ukraine is becoming a country without electricity, it has little functioning industry now, 20% of its population has fled to other states, and its population is anyway a fraction of the size of that of Russia.

If the West (NWO/ZOG) does not stop supporting the Kiev regime, we are on and sliding down a slope which might well devastate all of Europe.

Jack Monroe scandal

https://twitter.com/BootstrapCook/status/1616916979067097088?s=20&t=v6rgO3yVcxCBFFYuMzT-7g

I shall believe that when she stops taking people’s money, particularly from those who have little to start with, and/or those who are vulnerable (even if they are utter mugs to send “Jack Monroe” anything at all).

Seems that the tweets referred to have been deleted (another habit of the “Bootstrap Cook”).

Another poor and/or financially-struggling “Jack Monroe” fan? Oh, no, wait…a dim-seeming librarian from the University of Bedfordshire (is there such a university? Maybe there is). She has obviously not seen any of the voluminous evidence against her idol.

A good description. Worthy of a social anthropologist, perhaps a bit —in manner— like David Attenborough, but specializing in Essex “grifters”.

Quite funny seeing all these terribly “concerned” and virtue-signalling women (mostly women), who are, unwittingly, simply advertizing their lack of nous.

https://twitter.com/DaveyJayZ/status/1616942158048542720?s=20&t=v6rgO3yVcxCBFFYuMzT-7g

…so tweets a total loony (another “not quite all there” “Jack Monroe” fanatic).

Yes. I recall “Jack Monroe” doing the same or similar about 4 months ago, around the time when I published my (entirely fair, but far too kind, as it turned out) assessment of her: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/09/30/diary-blog-30-september-2022-including-an-assessment-of-jack-monroe-aka-the-bootstrap-cook/.

There is no incentive for “Jack Monroe” to pause or stop her Patreon “grift”. After months of criticism and evidence presented, there are, as of today, still 635 utter mugs sending her money, between about £2,500 a month and about £30,000 a month (probably about £6,000 pcm). Why would she stop taking it? Certainly not because a few have threatened a small claim in the County Court. Those few can be paid off easily enough.

If other mugs donate via other channels, then “Jack Monroe” can simply say (or not even bother to say) “thank you very much” and keep the cash, using it for her own purposes, as she has done.

Ha ha! The presumption of the girl there is incredible. Trying to grift a living as an “online influencer” or something, like thousands of others, from “Jack Monroe” and Owen Jones, through Julia Grace Patterson and others of that type, and right down to “who she?” types like the one in that tweet. She should get a job in a bottling plant or something (at least until robots take over completely).

Britain used to be a country that did things, real things, and had people at all levels who, many of them, were solid, even in the House of Commons etc. Now look…

Men (and women) of straw are now around in huge numbers and, if they were just to “disappear”, not only would I not care but in fact would actually applaud their removal.

Ha. Well put.

It is truly incredible to see just how gullible so many of these “concerned” women are, the “Jack Monroe” partisans. She has been repeating those behaviours for years— angrily snarling and threatening, then pretending to stomp off from Twitter and/or pretending to have one of a whole host of physical and/or mental conditions, then claiming to have been “bullied” or “forced off Twitter”, after which she returns within a day or two (and counts up her new donations).

Yes, many rather unstable people who somehow imagine that by at least tweeting in support of “Bootstrap Cook”, they are striking a blow against the hated “Tories”. No so. The “Jack Monroe” assertion “I can feed someone on about 61p a day” (literally what she claims, feeding a family of four for £20 a week), plays into the idea that “welfare” (social security) benefits are perfectly adequate, or even too generous.

“Jack Monroe” now knows that, however outlandish her tall tales are, hundreds if not thousands of utter mugs will believe them all, and will think her a kind of saintly warrior against poverty and injustice, no matter what obvious lies she posts.

She has claimed, ludicrously, to have been involved with fighting the fire at Grenfell Tower, to have been in high-level discussions about Government inflation statistics, to have been so poor that she had to unscrew lightbulbs to save on electricity, and that she boiled down soap to make shower gel (!). All surely, plainly, lies, obviously so to any but the totally deluded, yet her often-mentally afflicted fans lap it up, either believing the lies, or believing that they somehow do not matter.

I agree with tweeter “Littlegiteshob”. It is absolutely incredible how stupid and guillible many are.

So long as “Jack Monroe” has 635 utter mugs sending her a total of anywhere between £2,500 and £30,000 a month, I doubt whether she will feel any pressure to get a job. In any case, it is hard to imagine the kind of job for which she might be qualified, even leaving aside her alleged drug and drink problems, and her peculiar mentality.

Some tweeters are enraged that “Jack Monroe” has (for the umpteenth time) used faked (probably faked, allegedly faked) physical illness or feared illness, and also mental illness including suicide hints, to garner sympathy, deflect from her fraudulent or near-fraudulent “grifting”, and also to collect even more money from naive people on Twitter etc: see below

Why tweeter “@Calderpeople” thinks that “Jack Monroe” has no money any more, I have no idea. After all, the 635 Patreon mugs are still presumably paying up, and the Thrifty Kitchen book is out, though I suspect not selling well; I believe around 400 copies, including Kindle, per week. I may be slightly out, but think that each sale gets the authoress about £1, though possibly less, possibly more. See https://www.societyofauthors.org/Where-We-Stand/buying-choices/How-do-authors-get-paid.

That is on a price of £9.99 for the hardback, the original cover price of £19.99 having been abandoned, in effect.

I do think that the msm has almost dropped “Jack Monroe” now. I notice that, apart from the Independent, the newspapers have not much covered the release of the book; a few fairly low-circulation magazines have.

This, from 2020, made me laugh: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7925127/This-Morning-viewers-slam-food-writer-Jack-Monroes-three-meals-5.html.

I was surprised to see how small she is, even up against the TV people, who are not giants:

Was someone that tiny really trained (for a while), and as she claims, as a firefighter? To me, that seems very doubtful.

“Anthea Rogers” (possibly “Jack Monroe” in disguise) weighs in:

“Jack Monroe” and cocaine

A word about the alleged cocaine abuse by the “Bootstrap Cook”: I find it interesting that (until recently) she was being supported publicly by the Jewish TV cook, Nigella Lawson, and by the (also Jewish) food critic Jay Rayner, as well as by Tom Parker Bowles (food writer, and son of Queen Camilla).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigella_Lawson; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Rayner; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Parker_Bowles.

I have never seen any suggestion that Jay Rayner is a cocaine abuser, despite his playing jazz piano with his own Rayner Quartet.

Having said that, I now see:

Also, he was expelled from school over cannabis use: see https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/news/jay-rayner-pilloried-in-public-over-school-suspension-for-drug-use-39222774.html.

As for Nigella Lawson, she has admitted that she has (“in the past”) abused cocaine and other drugs on a number of occasions (read “regularly“?).

Then we have Tom Parker Bowles. God knows what Brigadier Parker-Bowles, his father (who was Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry and Silver-Stick-in-Waiting to the late Queen Elizabeth), thinks of his son’s choice of career. Not that it is inherently bad, and it must be lucrative, but I wonder all the same whether there is parental disappointment.

Tom Parker Bowles has admitted being a cocaine abuser: see https://www.theguardian.com/drugs/Story/0,2763,207412,00.html; and also (“in the past”), a drug supplier or dealer: see https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/6635934.camillas-son-drugs-supplier/.

With these blots on humanity, it is always “occasionally” or “in the past“, nicht wahr?

So all three? Or just two? Still, “two out of three ain’t bad” [Meatloaf].

Interesting co-incidence, though, even in this decadent and degenerate society.

NHS

As blogged previously, I am all in favour of the NHS principle of “free at point of use”, but the fact is that the NHS, as it is (i.e. not in theory), is simply not working. Not working properly, and scarcely working at all.

It may well be that more money is required, but even now the NHS consumes nearly half the governmental budget (I see 44% as the proportion).

It may well be that nurses should be paid more. What about doctors? I see that GPs are mostly paid over £100,000 a year, some over £200,000, and for a service that is now lamentably poor.

As for hospital doctors, though the most junior (in the first year) receive only about £32,000 p.a., that rises rapidly to over £50,000 and, for consultants and surgeons, well over £100,000.

Ambulancemen (paramedics), (and women), get more than nurses, and do (from what I have seen) a very good job indeed.

As said, nurses and paramedics have a case for wanting more pay, but I cannot see it as morally correct for them to strike, leaving patients without care, even with some kind of skeleton service still running.

As for the NHS generally, it plainly needs to be changed to a service that genuinely puts patients first.

In the past decade, I have seen enough (though not as patient) to convince me that the maladministration in the NHS has to be rooted out. I should say that that is the main problem, not the staff as such, and not money as such.

Few people would want the UK to have an American-style health service, though it also has merits, which I saw when my first wife (an employee of the U.S. Federal Government) needed urgent surgery— and had it within a day or so of being admitted to hospital, and she was admitted the same day that she experienced pain bad enough to seek help. In the UK, that surgery would probably have taken weeks if not months to organize.

Likewise, I recall that my first wife was advised, on another occasion, to get a scan, and was given a choice of five hospitals within a 20-mile radius of home. The same year (1990 or 1991), King’s College Hospital in South London, a major UK teaching hospital, had to have a public appeal to buy a scanning machine, and that appeal ran for several years.

Again, the wife of a friend of mine in New Jersey was paralyzed after a woman driving a car in a supermarket parking lot (at only 5-10 mph) drove into her bicycle. Thanks to being heavily insured, my friend’s wife was able to stay at the Kessler Rehabilitation Center, where the Superman actor, Christopher Reeve, spent time a few years later [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Reeve#Hospitalization]. An excellent “facility”, as Americans say, and in heavily-wooded and peaceful grounds.

Still, the American system, under which about 40%-50% of the population are uninsured or under-insured, is unjust, and not what we in the UK would like to see.

There are, however, alternatives. The French system, for example (which I have also seen a little) seems to be far better than the NHS and, to take just example, has done away with “wards”— patients almost all have their own rooms, or shared rooms, and have done for about 40 years.

A friend in Brittany when I myself lived there (pre-2010) suffered from a heart condition and had already been treated by the NHS. On seeing the French specialist for the first time (taken the 50-mile journey to Brest and 50 miles back by taxi, at State expense, incidentally, rather than having had to drive himself), he was asked what medication he was presently prescribed, and replied. The French consultant raised his eyebrows and said “I think that we can do a little better than that“…

We are often unaware to what extent the NHS rations healthcare; the more advanced techniques and drugs available elsewhere are often not available on the NHS.

What we need is to keep the “free at point of use” principle, but ring-fence an “NHS tax” from income tax, so that those monies are usable solely for and by the NHS, not diverted to “aid” for the Jew Zelensky’s dictatorship, not diverted to other projects or services etc.

Also necessary (to some extent), along with better administration, is attitudinal change in some staff.

I recall seeing that idiot in the hat shouting through a megaphone, in Whitehall, when I was last in London: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/.

If they really received the full ration (call me a cynic…).

What use is SIS/MI6 when it has neither the will nor the capability to bump off Shamima Begum and her sort? Especially when it also failed, inter alia, to predict the fall of the Shah of Iran, failed to predict the Falklands invasion, failed to predict the fall of socialism (inc. the Soviet Union) etc.

It’s “FERBER“, not “FABER“…(get it right…).

American. Don’t know if lawful in the UK. If lawful, should not be.

Some suggestion that the Ferber website was hacked some time ago. May or may not be true.

The wildlife emergency in the UK must become a government priority.

“The NHS has been accused of ‘wanting less and less’ to do with patients after it advertised a series of remote-only GP roles for £85 an hour.

The work from home job offers general practitioners a three-month contract with the chance ‘to provide online digital consultations’ via video or phone calls to patients, with pay of just under £3,000 a week or almost £13,000 a month.

It comes amid mounting evidence that ‘telemedicine’, while convenient for doctors, can be ‘disastrous’ for some patients.”

“Jack Monroe”

Probably because the virtue-signalling Guardian readers, while pleased to have a copy of one or two “Jack Monroe” books prominently displayed on a kitchen bookshelf, are certainly not going to actually make, let alone eat, her swill.

I shall look forward to that. All the online “grifters” should be rooted out. Ausrotten!
