I am old enough to remember those little shops. One in particular, in Caversham Heights, near Reading, early 1960s. The sweets were dispensed by the owner, I think an otherwise-retired old fellow, who sold them in small white-paper bags. A wide range, but I either bought small boiled sweets (very small balls of hard candy), or a kind of chewing gum that came with collectable cards depicting (and explaining) battles of the American Civil War of the 1860s. I wanted the cards, not the gum.
Very gory, those cards (as I discovered only when I belatedly read law, 20 years later) were the subject of a legal case (as to whether they counted as “obscene” because of their bloodsoaked content), which case went as high as the House of Lords (House of Lords Judicial Committee, the forerunner of the present UK Supreme Court). That was around 1965, only a couple of years after I used to buy the cards.
I remember that all my friends (who also bought the cards) favoured the Confederate side, but I (alone, I think) favoured the Union. Not sure now, over 60 years later, whether that was because the Union side was more efficient, or more advanced in weaponry, or just because I wanted to go contrary to the views of the mob.
The sweetshop in question was actually made out of the front part of an ordinary late-19thC house, which (I see from Google maps and streetview) has now reverted to being just a house again.
I also remember the little sweetshop because, aged about 7, I sheltered in that tiny shop after I (God knows why, now, but it would have been in self-defence) hit another boy, and then was sought out by the much older, and rather fearsome, brother of the same. In the end, the older boy caught me outside but, after I explained that I had hit his brother in self-defence, he was very reasonable, and let me off. Maybe I had dormant barristerial skills even then (or at least the ability to get out of scrapes)…

Don't complain about how much welfare benefits cost. Over 40% of Universal Credit goes to people who are working. No one working should need UC. No one is even trying to solve the real problems in the UK.
True, but the “welfare” bill would be very low were it not for the existence of literally millions of non-white parasites in the UK, both the migrants and the children and grandchildren of migrants and former migrants.

I do not at all keep up with the changes in the legal landscape, and so it happened that I was surprised yesterday to read that Blackfriars Crown Court closed down in 2019. I appeared there as Counsel a couple of times sometime around 1994.
The Financial Times report mentions that 43% of courts in England and Wales were closed to save money, by decision of the government of David Cameron-Levita, after 2010. I was aware of some of them, having myself appeared in them. Ilford County Court, Penzance County Court, Launceston Magistrates’ Court —a court building more like a deserted mausoleum even when I was there, once only, in (?) 2004, on a County Court civil case relocated there from Plymouth County Court for hearing—; Trowbridge County Court. Some other courts too.
I vaguely recall being sent in 1993 to do some trivial criminal matter at Blackfriars Crown Court, a “Mention”, I think (they usually take a matter of minutes, once you are there and being heard).
With typical contemporary stupidity, the new Blackfriars Crown Court had been temporarily designated as “Knightsbridge Crown Court (sitting at Blackfriars Crown Court)“. The brief had been marked simply “In the Knightsbridge Crown Court“. What a wonderful waste of my time…so I initially went to the court I knew as Knightsbridge Crown Court, in Hans Crescent, near Harrods, only to find that that court building was under repair (prior to being sold and repurposed).
Even more stupidly, Blackfriars Crown Court was not in the Blackfriars area on the north bank of the Thames anyway, but down an obscure side street on the south side of the river. Apparently named thus because Blackfriars Road is nearby. What idiots are employed to make such decisions?
The whole set of assumptions there is absolutely cuckoo.
No, the British armed forces would have no chance at all of repelling an invasion from, say, the German armed forces as they were in 1940, or the Soviet armed forces as they were circa 1975. Certainly not from the Chinese armed forces, should they somehow gather in Northern France in 2024.
The elephant in the room here, of course, is that the above scenarii are simply not the case. China has no plan to attack Western Europe (inc. UK), the Soviet Union ceased to exist decades ago, and Russia now not only has no intention or wish to invade the UK, but no capability to do so, looking at its less than impressive performance in Ukraine.
As for Germany, the Germany of today is not that of 1940, has no interest in invading the UK, and its armed forces are a tiny fraction of the size of those commanded by Hitler (who anyway had no serious intention of invading the UK even in 1940).
Neither do France or Spain, or the Netherlands, historical would-be invaders of England, have any interest at all in invading this country.
Who, then, is this Labour Party military genius, warning us about invasion? Oh, it is one John Healey, a one-time scribbler (for a year), disability rights campaigner (for 6 years) and then a campaigner for a trade union, and also a p/t Open University lecturer. No military experience, of course, unless you include his 4 years as Shadow Defence Secretary and now Defence Secretary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Healey; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Healey#Shadow_cabinet.
The only “invasion” happening, which the present government, like the last one, seems powerless to stop, is the worst kind—migration-invasion of the UK by non-Europeans.
Every year, between a half-million and million invaders are arriving in this country: “small boat” illegals, “asylum seekers”, “fiances” and “fiancees”, “work visa holders”, “student visa holders”, “family members” etc. Plus births to non-whites already in the UK.
What is “Field Marshal” (or is that “field mouse”?) Healey going to do about the one invasion that is not only the only one likely to happen, but the only one actually happening? Nothing. Nothing at all.
“A man who blinded an acquaintance with a corrosive liquid at an eco-village has been jailed for 15 years.

Dean was seen heating a liquid in a pan on a hob before hurling it in the face of Riley while he was sitting in a chair at a property in Tipi Valley in Carmarthenshire.
Passing sentence at Swansea crown court, Judge Geraint Walters said Dean was dangerous and passed an extended sentence of 15 years in custody with a further four years on licence.”
Such crimes were very rare here until the mass immigration catastrophe happened. In the instant case, the perpetrator is obviously part-Chinese.
“The number of people who have crossed the Channel in small boats so far this year has exceeded the total number that arrived in the whole of 2023, according to figures published by the Home Office.“

Demonstrations and marches against the madness are OK, but will not, alone, achieve concrete results. In the present conditions of repression of free speech, I prefer to say no more, as yet.
It is clear, though, that the madness cannot continue indefinitely. At some point, this million a year influx (the “small boats” being only a few percent of all immigration) will cause UK society to fall apart.
The Commonwealth is largely a waste of time and money, and always was. A replacement of lesser binding than the Empire, to some extent a consolation for the Monarch (notably, of course, the late Queen): no longer an Empress or Emperor, but still “Head of the Commonwealth”.
If the present members of the Commonwealth (not all even former British colonies) are getting even more “uppity” than previously, then just say goodbye to them and take away their ricebowls, thus saving the poor old British taxpayers (those that still exist) a packet of money.

Fascinating how they are pretending that there is not a better way to deal with this sadistic murderer.
“New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.
The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.
According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.”

Anyone who uses Lewis as a solicitor can expect double-dealing, incompetence, negligence, and dishonesty.
Mark Lewis is a man of straw. When the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and reprimanded him in 2018 (after which he scuttled to Israel, though he keeps returning here to make money, despite the “antisemitism” by which he claims to have been targeted), the Tribunal lowered the level of his fine because, as his own Counsel said to the Tribunal panel, Lewis owned only his own clothes, a £70 a week private pension, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was not his own, but provided to Lewis by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the DWP-funded Motability scheme [https://www.motability.co.uk/].

As a former barrister (unlawfully and wrongfully disbarred in 2016 at the instigation of the Jewish lobby), I can see that what is happening is that many people involved (often only peripherally or online) with the protests and so-called “riots” of 2-3 months ago are now sentenced to terms of imprisonment (often years rather than months) for having done not very much; in some cases, almost nothing.
I am presuming that most of those sentenced will have had the benefit of legal advice from solicitors and Counsel.
The problem lies in the narrow legal view taken by many lawyers. I suspect that many of the lawyers involved looked at the political climate (eg the intervention on TV by “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer in July or August), looked at the evidence, and then advised their clients to plead Guilty in order to mitigate the sentence.
All good advice, or would be in a “normal”, non-political, case.
The fact is that most of the sentences being given are absurdly harsh, even taking the charges at face value.
In my opinion, the defendants in most of the recent protest cases, at least the ones about which I have read, would have been no worse off, probably better off, had they pleaded Not Guilty.
I concede that one cannot these days rely on the good sense of the traditional British jury, because the brainwashing of the public continues apace, but still I believe that a jury trial would have given many of those charged a good chance of acquittal.
A gamble, true, to plead Not Guilty, but in these “political” cases not so much, because the “message” from on high seems to have come down, “lock them up“… I do not really believe that many of those defendants have been given a real diminution of sentence of a (or the, notional) third.
My own free speech trial in November 2023 (sentence, March 2024) was different, not having been connected to any violent or noisy protests, but it was still a “political” case (instigated by the malicious Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby).
I republish the details here below but, in short, I pleaded Not Guilty to all 5 similar charges, was found guilty (by a District Judge sitting alone) on all 5 counts, and was sentenced to a financial impost amounting to £734, and to a period of, in effect, probation, involving 15 “rehabilitation days”. In the event, the financial penalty was one-third crowdfunded for me (the rest paid off over the past 6 months in instalments), and the “15 days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings lasting from 20 minutes to a couple of hours.
All now water under the bridge, and the blog continues to be published daily, but would I really have got a lighter sentence had I pleaded Guilty? Frankly, I doubt it. For one thing, the malicious nature of the whole prosecution would not have been laid bare before the Court.
I happened to see on TV an elderly, over-90 years, but very compos mentis, retired professor, talking to the TV chef Rick Stein about the decline in average IQ since 1950, as apparently noted in a study done by, or under the auspices of, Bradford University. The professor cited as a (or even the) causative reason the decline of consumption of fish and shellfish in the UK over the past 74 years.
That may be part of it. Certainly some types of fish popular with the mass market have become expensive; even standard British favourites such as cod and haddock. I bought some fish and chips recently: 1 large cod, 1 large haddock, 1 small bag of chips. £20.50.
Whether you think that £20.50 for a smallish bag of chips and 2 large pieces of fish is expensive or not will depend on your general financial level, but it is at least certainly more than most citizens will want to pay out on a daily basis.
Some fish in the UK is not, however, expensive, however poor you are. Mackerel, for one, which can be bought (uncooked) in a supermarket for as little as a pound or so for a good-size fillet.
I recall that, when I lived in Fethiye (Turkey) for a few months in 2001 (I drove there from the UK, a trip that was more difficult then than it now is), I went to the fish market in the town almost daily, about 4-5 times a week. The hierarchy of price descended from the most expensive, which were huge langoustines, or tuna steak and swordfish (cut from massive whole tuna and swordfish, some 5 or 6 feet or more long and 1-2 feet wide), through many other types of fish and shellfish and down to tiny fish, presumably by-catch, which cost only about 5% or even 2% of the most expensive. There is always a decision to be made by the individual on what is affordable or not.
[the fish market, Fethiye, Turkey. The many restaurant tables and chairs were not there when I used to patronise the market (neither was that sign in English) but, at that time, in 2001, the fish market was new, having been built or rebuilt and possibly having also been relocated from a different place. That was 23 years ago. How time flies when you are older…]

IQ in a general population is obviously affected by diet, but is also a function of other factors. The UK’s average IQ level has been badly affected by, inter alia, the mass immigration that has been such a feature of the past 75 years.
Importation of non-European peoples into the UK has had many negative consequences. A lower average IQ is merely one.
One sees evidence of decline in IQ and/or educational levels everywhere. One example might be secondary school exam papers. When I was studying, belatedly, in my mid-twenties, for “A” Levels (and an “S” level) in 1983, studying alone and without tuition, I sent off for papers from a number of previous years, from the 1950s and 1960s right up to 1982. Even in 1983, one could see that the level of difficulty had steadily declined over the previous 30 years.
Since the 1980s, of course, there has been massive award inflation. Not only at secondary educational level but also at tertiary (university) level. Hardly anyone actually fails a university degree now, unless the student drops out. The kind of average degree, normal only 30 or more years ago, a 2:2 (as earned by Tony Blair, among others), is now not even considered a reasonably “good” degree. The real standard has not improved, but dropped, while presented as something wonderful.
As for myself, long ago, in the 1980s, my IQ was tested at 156 (UK average being 100, and university students typically testing at 125), certainly in the top 1% of the population, but that was in the mid-1980s, when I was about 30, and it may well be (I do not know) that I would test lower today. By way of compensation, though, I think that I can say that experience, and other infusions from the stream of Life, make up the difference, and perhaps more.
We often hear that “things do not work properly any more in our society”, and that may become a greater problem as average IQ drops ever lower.
Our society should be travelling, by design, in the other direction.

And it just is the SRA’s job to protect the public from incompetent advice. because that’s part of the obligations Parliament has imposed on the SRA by enacting section 1 of the Legal Services Act 2007.
“This decision by the SRA about Lewis’ negligent advice is just awful. Mark Lewis told Pete Newbon that the defamatory publication did not identify me. It was startlingly incompetent advice because the publication contained a clear photo of me and Tolley v Fry (possibly the most famous defamation case) says a claimant can be identified by a photo or sketch. The SRA’s own Code of Conduct says solicitors must “ensure that the service you provide to clients is competent…” So contrary to what the SRA says, incompetent advice is a regulatory matter. And the SRA’s strategy for dealing with Lewis’ incompetent advice is for Newbon to bring a negligence claim or complain to the ombudsman. Obviously, Newbon will not do either of those things. It scares me that the SRA – faced with a solicitor who appears not to grasp the absolute basics of the area of law he works in – won’t take action to protect the public from incompetent advice. Surely it is the SRA’s job to identify and deal with solicitors who give incompetent advice?@sra_solicitors@lawsocgazette.“
[James Wilson, successful claimant in the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor, and Newbon (deceased)]. ]
Mark Lewis, as previously noted, is a self-publicizing and —by the “occupied” UK msm— hugely overrated solicitor who should have been struck off (not merely reprimanded and fined, as he was) for some of his previous professional (meaning unprofessional) defaults. He is, and has been repeatedly proven to be, dishonest, untruthful, and professionally negligent.
Only a complete idiot would now instruct “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
What is protecting Lewis, in my view, is the fact that the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority was screeched at in 2019 by the organized Jew-Zionist lobby, after the SRA fined and reprimanded Lewis, after which he performatively decamped to Israel (but then slunk back quite often to the UK to make money). The SRA may be running a little scared of “the screechers” (((them))).

“Almost 63,000 asylum seekers whose cases were placed on hold by the Tories could be granted permission to stay in Britain under Labour.
A report by the Refugee Council predicts a significant increase in granted claims thanks to changes brought in by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

Exactly as I have been predicting for the past couple of years.
Stand by for the next “shock”— Starmer and Yvette Cooper “processing” asylum claims in France or even in Africa and Asia, and “allowing” (rubberstamping) 90%+ to come to the UK, then to claim housing, cash benefits, NHS and other services.

Incidentally, over 14,000 migrant-invaders have used the “small boats” method to arrive here this year, so far. That, though, is only about 5%, if that, of the total of migration to the UK so far this year. Over the whole of 2024, the total will be at least half a million, quite likely more.
I live very close to a small southern Hampshire coastal town, reputedly one of the most affluent in the UK. Over the past decade or so, I first noticed quite a few Chinese appearing in the streets, but at first not many blacks or browns, only the odd one. The proportion of all non-Europeans, compared to (real) British people, has risen inexorably. It is patent, quite visible on the streets, even here. In larger towns and cities, such as Southampton and Bournemouth, let alone London, it is much much worse, and still getting worse.
There it is. The main Jewish religious text (the Torah, being the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible, the same as the first 5 books of the Old Testament) is about twice as violent, even on a superficial view, as the main texts of both Islam and Christianity.

Much of Africa had functioning railways when Europeans ruled. Few of those lines are left (mostly in South Africa, but some elsewhere too). Some new lines are planned.
I myself have only travelled once on African rail but that was, again, under white European rule, in 1977, travelling from Bulawayo, Rhodesia (now “Zimbabwe”) to Gaborone in Botswana, an overnight journey that started just after midday, around 1300 hrs, at Bulawayo, and finished at seven-thirty the following morning at Gaborone. About 18 hours. The train then continued on into South Africa, finishing either at Ladysmith or Mafeking (I forget). That would have been inconvenient to me, so I hopped off in Botswana.
Fortunately, the train was not hit en route (as it had been several times previously) by rocket or small arms fire from African terrorists/guerrillas/”freedom fighters” in the Rhodesia-Botswana border area (take your pick as to designation), the Rhodesian Bush War being at or near its height at the time.

No details about the polling, so I am entitled to presume that those figures are simply invented, the “poll” having been released by the globalist and finance-capitalist Policy Exchange “think tank” (lobby group). I should hate to have to conclude that 49% of the people in this country are ignorant morons.
The Commonwealth has been a complete waste of time and money for decades now, in any case.
Even now, the Kiev-regime front is crumbling, with Russian forces advancing on all sectors of the active front, and the Kiev regime struggling to find enough soldiers (many with as little as 6 weeks’ training) to plug the gaps. Untold thousands are evading or avoiding the draft, and brutal press-gangs are scouring the cities and towns.
This latest move could be a game-changer. The Koreans are tough, the North Koreans maybe even more so than those in the South.
I recall that, in 1984, when I was a taekwando beginner, I watched a film about South Korea’s advanced taekwando training academy, a modern white-painted concrete-and-glass building out in the Korean countryside. That film started with a contingent of trainees, all neat, none looking hot or sweaty, and all in white costume with black belts, jogging in perfect formation. The voiceover explained that the students had just finished a 10-mile run, and that all students at that academy were already of at least basic black belt standard when they started at the academy.
I wonder where Putin and the Stavka (Russian high command) will deploy those Korean troops. Clausewitz would seem to indicate that they be kept together rather than dispersed, thus forming a spearhead force that, concentrated on one area of the front, might be able to create a Schwerpunkt breakthrough.

The reasons for this latest injustice are, of course, obvious.
Firstly, Huw Edwards is a member of the System msm/political/talking head/scribbler club. Pro-migration invasion, pro-multikulti, pro-System, pro-Israel (probably), pro-Jew-lobby (almost certainly), pro-LGBTXYZ, pro-“trans” nonsense, and so on.
The lady sentenced to an incredibly harsh 31 months for an understandable (if unwise) tweet or whatever is not a member of that “club”. She is “just” a wife and (to use the very good American word) homemaker. A normal citizen, in short.
The System protects its own, such as Huw Edwards; ordinary citizens are treated like trash.
Secondly, Huw Edwards was guilty of a non-political offence. In the new sub-Stalinist Britain, socio-political “crimes” such as posting the “wrong sort of” tweet, or criticizing the Jewish lobby, or the migration invasion, are treated far more harshly than “real” crimes, non-political crimes.
Lucy Connolly has been treated harshly because of, and, in my opinion only because of, those two factors.
There was no evidence that any of the actual protesters or “rioters” were influenced by, or even saw, her tweet and/or her WhatsApp message (though that need not be proven to make out the offence). Still, those facts should surely mitigate sentence.
I have two or three further thoughts about the matter: firstly, that her husband or someone else should set up a GoFundMe or other crowdfunder for her; secondly, that she should have pleaded Not Guilty. She may well have been lucky in her jury.
It might also be worth her while to consider an appeal on sentence (alone).
As it is, 40% of 31 months translates to about 12 months and 1 week actually in prison. I believe that I read at the time of her arraignment that she was remanded in custody prior to sentence. That was sometime in August of this year, so she has already been in prison for —I think— over 2 months. That should mean that she can expect release within about 10 months. Still very harsh, in my view.
The sentencing judge (a Recorder, i.e. p/t judge, and barrister) apparently made the ridiculous remark today that “It is [a/the] strength of our society that it is both diverse and inclusive.” Does he really and honestly believe that?!
So another person has received a harsher yet sentence for merely having reposted part of one of Mrs. Connolly’s messages.
I have to say that Mrs. Connolly’s husband does not strike me as being or having been particularly outspoken in her defence, but I suppose that I could be mistaken about him. I should not like to think that his reserved response has anything to do with his pathetic local Conservative Party activity.
That tweet from an Israeli account, decrying the deliberate burning to death of Palestinian civilians, including children and hospital patients, was retweeted by Sabrina Miller, Daily Mail scribbler and fairly hardcore Jew-Zionist.
Even people like that, pro-Israel to the hilt, are horrified by the (literal) “holocaust” in which the Israeli forces are now indulging, against a civilian population which has no means of protection or self-defence.
Israel is a doomed society. We must make sure that, as it goes down, it does not drag the world into a third massive war. It must be boycotted in every way, and that includes its Western “diaspora” web.

The present UK Government is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, incapable of ruling properly or usefully, and also a mouthpiece for Israel and Jew-Zionism in general.
His face is contorted with terror. ‘Get away from me,’ he begs, as three policemen drag him, shaking, towards a military recruitment desk.
Moments earlier he had been dancing to the music of one of Ukraine‘s favourite rock bands, Okean Elzy.
But now his worst nightmares are being realised. He has been caught in a round-up by one of Kyiv‘s feared military ‘press gangs’ and is almost certainly on his way to the bloody frontlines.
From the look in his eyes, it is as if he has been handed a death sentence. The moment of his arrest was captured on video by horrified onlookers who have spread the chilling footage of his abduction around the world.
But this terrified concert-goer is just one of thousands of Ukrainian men who have been evading their duty by illegally dodging the draft.
More than two and a half years since the conflict began, with the army’s death toll rising by the day, Ukraine is intensifying its efforts to crack down on conscription evaders.
Locals claim these now-viral videos of men being snatched from nightclubs and concert halls in the country’s capital are just the tip of the iceberg.
All around the nation, gyms, restaurants and bars have been the sites of targeted military raids in recent days in a desperate bid to replenish Ukraine’s frontline forces.
But the sight of young men being dragged off the streets and sent to the Eastern front provokes mixed reactions.
And the online videos compound the anxieties of men who have so far evaded the press gangs. One 42-year-old insists he does not want to ‘die for the patriotic propaganda of any country’.
He fears he will be killed or maimed if conscripted.
‘The videos of press gangs kidnapping men are signs of injustice and lawlessness, especially when it is done by people wearing masks,’ he says.
‘As a taxpayer, I have done enough for my country. I don’t believe I should have to fight.’“
[Sabrina Miller in the Daily Mail]
Sabrina Miller again, this time reporting on the press-gangs of the Zelensky regime in Kiev. Reasonably interesting, though her final words are a joke, as if she could not think of anything intelligent to say.
The fact is that the Kiev-regime front lines are crumbling. No amount of Western arms, ammunition, or money (going into the offshore accounts of the members of the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) will save the Kiev government regime, or Zelensky himself. It is doomed.
Part of the reason why the Kiev regime is doomed is because few now want to fight for it. The pathetic would-be-Rambo ex-private soldiers from the UK and USA etc have either been killed or captured, or have finished their agreed tours of duty and gone back home. No more Western mugs are volunteering. As for Ukrainians, they have either fled beyond the borders, or (as Sabrina Miller’s report says) are in hiding.
This whole “Ukraine” episode now needs to be brought to a close. Russian forces will begin a general advance in 2025, and may even take Kiev, leaving a rump Ukraine in the western part of the country, based on Lvov. I think that Russia will be satisfied with that.
Russia is many times the size of Ukraine, has several times the population; Russia, unlike Kiev-regime Ukraine, has a thriving economy, has a valuable currency, and is without dependence on foreign “aid” (or control).
Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Quite the chart. This is progressive illiberalism in action.
Britain abolished slavery almost 200 years ago. It is completely ridiculous to expect today's taxpayers to pay reparations. If Labour goes down this route, all the while claiming they can't afford winter fuel allowance, they will be absolutely hammered
No-one who has visited any country notionally “run” by blacks thinks that their situation can be improved merely by giving them more money.

That is their “Knesset” (Parliament). A kind of Oriental bazaar.
That brings to mind a rather odd story once heard.
I was told, long ago (1980s), and by a mutual friend, that Prince Michael Gruzinski, the one-time Pretender to the Throne of Georgia, had told King Hussein of Jordan, at a London diplomatic reception in the 1970s, that he had a plan to “gas the Knesset”. Apparently, King Hussein was not very amused and politely disengaged from the conversation.
Gruzinski was an odd fellow, whom many regarded as a fake, partly because of his name (Slavonic rather than Georgian— “gruzinsky” means “Georgian” in the Russian language), but I believe that there were valid 18th/19th Century historical reasons for that, and that he was genuinely the Pretender to that now non-existent throne, for whatever that might be worth.
I do not recall having met Gruzinski, though I was told that I had, once or twice, and that he remembered meeting me (maybe in 1976 or 1977). I know little of his life, except that he had been awarded (I was told) a First from Oxford, in the days when that meant something, and that he had cut off the tip of another student’s finger while fighting a duel with real swords (not the usual sport versions). Apparently he was “rusticated” (suspended) from the University for that, though that was just what I was told. I myself have no personal knowledge of any of it.
I suppose that Gruzinski must have been about 40 in the mid-1970s, and so would have been at Oxford in the 1950s or early 1960s.
According to my source, he then more or less refused to take ordinary salaried work, and “signed on the dole”. He was eventually summoned to a bureaucratic troika of what I suppose was then called the DHSS. In those days, social security could not just be cut off at the arbitrary whim of some DHSS/DWP dogsbody as happens today.
It seems that some woman on the panel said to Gruzinsky, “are you not ashamed that, with all your educational and other advantages, you are living off the State?“, to which he is said to have replied, “no, not at all. My family have been living off the State for hundreds of years“.
Anyway, whatever the truth of Gruzinsky’s claim to the Georgian throne, he was invited, I heard, to many diplomatic receptions, including some at the Soviet Embassy.
Gruzinsky apparently worked freelance in the field of finance. When he made his startling claim to King Hussein, he had some financial deal going with “the Saudis” (I was also told), and that deal would have been worth (if I remember correctly), some £10M for him personally. You could probably say that would be about £100M in the money of 2024. That was the money that would bankroll his mad (?) “gas the Knesset” plan, if it ever existed. I have no idea. It does sound doubtful, but then so do many things in this world, things that sometimes turn out to be true.
In the end, Gruzinsky died in a fire at the small hotel in South Kensington in which he lived. Not sure what year; maybe 1977 or 1978. It seems that he had returned to his room to retrieve papers connected with that financial deal, but was confronted by fierce flames. He then tried to escape out of a window, fell, and was impaled on railings.
I vaguely recall seeing a local TV news report about that fire. Maybe 1977. Not sure.
Whether the fire was accidental and so co-incidental, or whether MOSSAD (or whatever) had deliberately caused it in order to eliminate Gruzinsky (I doubt it— how could his demise be guaranteed? The “Princess Diana car crash plot” conundrum…), is anyone’s guess.
All a long time ago now. Nearly half a century.

We both know that the Israel-NATO side has vastly greater destructive capability. The casualty numbers this year make it clear. It's genocide not war. . The difference is in the battleground. For the Arabs it's home. For most of the Israelis it's a vacation/retirement/2nd home.

I have actually been on the SS United States, though not as a passenger.
In the mid-1960s, my parents were friendly with an American family who lived not far down the same road in Caversham Heights (near Reading). They had two children, a boy about the same age as me (about 8), whose name I do not remember, and a pretty dark-haired girl, maybe the same age, called Carla (I had never heard the name Carla before). I went to their house a couple of times for birthday parties.
Americans were rather an exotic species in the England of the early/mid 1960s, and seen mainly on TV, though my parents had known a number when they lived for a year, a few years before I was born, near the Greenham Common air base near Newbury. Not very many Brits travelled to the USA as tourists in those days, either.
I cannot see any other reason why an American diplomat or other embassy employee would be living in, indeed beyond, Reading, 40 miles west of London. As to why they lived in that specific neighbourhood, I think that is easier to answer. It was (and still is) the best neighbourhood in the Reading area.
The father of that family must have been quite high-ranking. When my family went to wave them goodbye at Southampton (maybe 1965), we were allowed aboard the United States, and they had a suite in First Class (I now see, having read Wikipedia, that the liner had three classes of travel).
I still remember the main stateroom of their suite, the centre of the room taken up by a large circular polished wooden table, the centre of which had on it a huge bowl of flowers.
Nearly 60 years ago. I wonder where those Americans are now.
Incidentally, those artificial reefs created by sunken ships are a very good idea, begun many decades ago in the U.S., though more basic structures were known even in ancient times. It is a more complex operation than one would initially assume, though: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reef. It is not simply a matter of sinking a ship.

“Still no response from Mark Lewis, Patron Law or the Solicitors Regulation Authority about this.
Serious allegations have been made publicly about a solicitor that relate to the administration of justice. The allegations are met by a wall of silence from all concerned. Lewis himself seems unable to deny the allegations. What is going on? @MLewisLawyer @Patron_Law@sra_solicitors.”
I speculated months ago that the losing Jewish defendants in that case would probably end up suing Mark Lewis and/or Patron Law. Lewis is said to be a partner of Patron Law, yet himself has no assets in the England and Wales jurisdiction, so it may be that the losing defendants will have to sue both Lewis and Patron Law, but that Lewis will scuttle back to his flat in Eilat (Israel), leaving his co-partners at Patron Law to pick up the bill, assuming that they are found jointly and severally liable with Lewis.
I expect Lewis will get the push (not for the first time; other firms have sacked him in the past), at least from that small law firm, if not (also?) from the solicitors’ profession. After all, Lewis has been cheating and conning people for years, and also displaying both negligence and a serious deficit of ethics: see, e.g.

“This is how the power of Zionism operates. It penetrates institutions via personnel and finance, sure, but effects like this depend on its ideological power to convince and intimidate individuals in institutions. This has the result that they, (very possibly) quite independently, take on the role of punishing critics of the genocidal Zionist entity. This is why we don’t just need to collapse and remove the colony in Palestine, but also wage a generational war against the Zionist movement in the UK and in many other nations worldwide.”

Whatever is said about Griffin, he was the most successful and high-profile social nationalist of the period 1990-2010. He managed to get himself elected as an MEP (along with Andrew Brons), and is still pretty much the only social nationalist whose name is known to most people in the UK.
I do not say that I have agreed with everything said or done by Griffin, and have never met or communicated with him (beyond having posted a few of his tweets on the blog; he also retweeted me a couple of times when —pre-2019— I still had a Twitter account); but I regard him as, at root, a good fellow, and staunch under State repression (as when he was prosecuted). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin.
Incidentally, I see that he is only 2.5 years younger than me; I had thought quite a few years younger, maybe 7-8, even 10 years, though for no particular reason. Never assume, I suppose.

Sancta Susanna by composer Paul Hindemith caused a scandal back in 1921, with outraged critics labelling the one-act opera, which tells the story of a suppressed nun discovering her sexuality, too blasphemous to be shown.
Its premiere at the Stuttgart Opera was cancelled, but more than 100 years later, it has now been staged in the city for the first time – with the shock factor amped up to dizzying new heights in what its creators call a ‘radical vision of the Holy Mass’.
The ‘feminist mass’ sees the central character, a young nun called Susanna discover her sexuality, eventually pulling down Christ’s loincloth on the crucifix in the scandalous climax. At one point, the nude nun has sex with the icon.
The performance has an age restriction of 18, and incorporates sex acts, painful stunts, real and fake blood, piercings and the infliction of a wound on stage.”

Incidentally, the poor literacy of the Daily Mail and similar comics is again apparent in that report, “suppressed” used when the scribbler obviously meant “repressed“.
“The Nazis‘ relationship to Hindemith’s music was complicated. Some condemned his music as “degenerate” (largely based on his early, sexually charged operas such as Sancta Susanna).
“In December 1934, during a speech at the Berlin Sports Palace, Germany’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels publicly denounced Hindemith as an “atonal noisemaker”.[9]
The Nazis banned his music in October 1936, and he was subsequently included in the 1938 Entartete Musik (Degenerate Music) exhibition in Düsseldorf.[10]
Other officials working in Nazi Germany, though, thought that he might provide Germany with an example of a modern German composer, as, by this time, he was writing music based in tonality, with frequent references to folk music. The conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler‘s defence of Hindemith, published in 1934, takes this line.[11]
The controversy around his work continued throughout the thirties, with Hindemith falling in and out of favour with the Nazis.“
Few people today realize quite how decadent the 1918-1933 Weimar Republic was. That was one reason why, from the spiritual-cultural point of view, National Socialism had to come to power, to rescue the future of Germany and the German people from the basest decadence.
Now, we see the same cultural sickness and death, in sometimes even worse manifestations, spreading across Europe, and across much of the world, particularly what is regarded as the civilized world.

I happened to be staying for a month or so at the oasis of Siwa (Western Egypt) in 1998 when it rained (actually just a very light drizzle) for the first time in about 2 years. The drizzle lasted for several hours, during which time the locals (mostly Berbers) were literally dancing in the sandy streets.
Not that they needed the water, as such; Siwa has about 350 springs (Wikipedia says 200) fed from an aquifer deep under the Sahara. They even export bottled Siwa water to the rest of Egypt.

NEW POST. Britain’s population explosion in 10 stats. Brand new data on how a country is being radically transformed https://t.co/oVZzXDRgW6
“By the year 2036, only twelve years away, the government’s own forecast suggests another 6.6 million people will arrive in the country, equivalent to about five cities the size of Birmingham, taking the population to 74 million people. By the late 2040s, on current numbers, the population will expand by around 20 million people, equivalent to 18 cities the size of Birmingham.”
[Matt Goodwin]
Also:
“Well, what we also learned this week is that more people are now dying than being born among the British population —which is the first time this has happened for half a century.
In fact, the native population declined by 16,300 people in the year ending June 2023, reflecting the ongoing fertility crisis that will now become a constant in our national life unless, again, we rapidly change course.
The ‘replacement rate’ for a country whereby it is reproducing itself over time is 2.1 but in Britain this rate has slumped from 3.0 in the 1960s, to 1.5 in 2022, is forecast to crash to 1.38 by the year 2050 and then 1.3 by 2100, making it impossible to keep the population stable.
In other words, what demographers call “natural negative change” among the native population, alongside the other key changes below, will now only accelerate in the years ahead.”

Exactly what I have been saying on the blog for years.
These are facts which the System political drones actively seek not to talk about. A disaster starting to happen all around us.
She is male or he is female is an oxymoron. Male / female are words used to describe the reality of biological sex, which humans cannot change. I do not understand the wilful destruction of language? Or the persecution of those not prepared to lie

Yesterday saw my blog post no. 2,000 published. Today’s blog post is therefore no. 2001.
The past nearly 8 years have seen the blog published most days, latterly about 28 or 29 days per month, despite concerted attempts by Jew-Zionists to shut down the blog either directly (by pressure on the hosting organization) or indirectly (via making repeated malicious and false complaints to the police and “Clown” Prosecution Service, with the idea of having me prosecuted, convicted etc and possibly ordered to cease publishing).
All attempts so far have failed. The excellent (and recommended) WordPress organization, based in the USA, has stayed true, overall, to principles of free speech and freedom of expression and, though I was eventually (in my opinion, wrongfully) prosecuted (in 2023) and (in my opinion, wrongfully) convicted, the sentence passed (in March 2024) changed nothing. The blog has been unaffected by direct court order; only by the perceived need to be more diplomatic in terms of how certain criticisms etc are couched. The legal position remains unchanged from what it was in 2023 or 2022 or, indeed, 2017.
I post, below, the blog articles around my 2023 free speech trial.
I take comfort, inter alia, in the fact that a number of my worst persecutors over the years have disappeared from view; some have died, while others have suffered other blows of Fate. Truly, “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].
There had to be one good thing that Labour is trying to do in terms of legislation. This might be it.

For her parents to arrive in 1980 from Nigeria, and then she, a person with no British ancestry, no ties to our history or the land, to become leader of the country… It's ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as Rishi Sunak being a "Yorkshireman".
Her parents may have arrived “off the boat” (or plane) in 1980, but after having been born here (no doubt by design on the part of her parents), Kemi Badenoch returned to her (in reality) native Nigeria, where she lived in Lagos (and also in the USA) until the age of 16, i.e. in 1996. She then relocated to the UK.
This is ridiculous. The British people deserve better.

RECEIPTS: “After his release, Sinwar went on to lead Hamas in Gaza while planning an attack on Israel that — so he imagined — would bring down the temple on his former captors. In the year since the October 7 attack, Sinwar’s plan has brought ruin to his people instead, with… pic.twitter.com/qsEO7RS15S
When the October 2023 attack occurred, two things surprised me: I was very surprised, frankly (having spent time in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab/Muslim world) that the Arabs were capable of both organizing and pulling off such a surprise attack, and also of keeping it a secret (assuming that they did) from the feared Israeli intelligence and security orgs.
There was something else that occurred to me, which was that the attack seemed to be, in a strategic sense, pointless, though it was at the time a tactical success (leaving aside the human cost and so on).
Of course, I assumed also —as it turned out, very mistakenly— that even if the inevitable Israeli response was far from actually “proportionate”, that it would be relatively so. I assumed that the Israelis would be satisfied with killing maybe 2,000 or 3,000 Gazans in retaliation for the supposed 1,200 killed by Hamas operatives in October 2023 (though it seems that many of those may have been killed in reckless “friendly fire” by the Israelis themselves).
I did not think that Israel would kill 42,000+ people, mainly civilians (indeed, mainly women and children), and horribly injure another 100,000+. The “genocidal” Israeli revenge still continues at time of writing.
I have no idea why the Hamas leadership did not bide its time, extend and expand its tunnel network, create perhaps one or more deep long-distance tunnels reaching far up the Israeli coast or even to Central Israel, then make a more devastating incursion at a much later date, perhaps not for years. That will be a question to be pondered upon by military specialists at staff colleges in the coming years.
We shall probably never know.

Hard to believe that there are people who treat their companion animals so badly; if found, they must be punished (and in the USA usually are, in contrast with the weak sentencing too often seen in UK animal cruelty cases).
I know a couple of states here in America that could sure use that money.

“Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.
They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.
I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”
That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.“
The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).
The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.
Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.
Illiterate travel
I have just read this, https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/sarajevo-guide-balkans-bosnia-and-herzegovina-b1176081.html, a travel piece in what I still call the Evening Standard, and written by well-known columnist Suzanne Moore. Not hugely interesting anyway, but then absurdly badly-written. An essay by a 10-year-old, at best. Or is the sub-editing to blame? Maybe someone pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Extraordinary. Read it and see.
I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

“I made a promise to Esther Rantzen”
He is so shit at this. He’s absolutely fucking awful. We really do have Blairism again but with no good bits. And with Alan Partridge as leader.
Pretty accurate summing-up of “Starmer-ism”, in my opinion, “Blairism without the good bits“, though I do not recall many good bits then either, speaking personally.
As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.
We can’t sort out our borders because LOTS of money is being pushed into keeping them open. Do have a nose at what the UK’s many charitable foundations are up to if you want to see – eg Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Esmee Fairburn – @ShireStrike what others?
Wouldn’t have thought you would be that old to remember. Get prepared buy a few dozen candles and a pack of cards just in case. I’ve told my grandkids about those days, don’t think they actually believe me 🤷♂️
That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…
I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).
The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.
In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.
Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.
In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.
In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.
The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.
Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).
I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”
I must do a blog post sometime about it.
There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.
In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.
In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.
Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.
Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.
What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.
As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.
If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.
