I think that I was one of a small minority who distrusted “Boris”-idiot from the time when he first became an MP in 2001. I was right…

As to the young woman in question, she quite obviously is either secretly related to “Boris” Johnson, or was sexually-involved with him. I think the former.

As for the rumoured “super-injunction”, no-one has told me…

The Internet makes mock of many things, and the various “little Britain” things especially. The overall situation, however, is not new.

In the 1930s, the public of the USA, France, Germany etc were aware, if interested at all, that Edward VIII was involved with a Mrs. Simpson. In Britain and its colonies, though, that was kept secret (from the British public) until 1937 (to be exact, from December 1936).

In the 1980s, similar situations arose. In the early 1980s, I was told that, at a State banquet held at the Banqueting House in Whitehall for an important Soviet delegation, and attended by someone I knew, the leader of the Soviet group said to a British minister how sad it was that former Prime Minister, Harold Wilson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson], had become completely demented (Alzheimer’s, or similar). Apparently, the British minister nodded sagely before changing the subject.

So the Soviet Government knew, the British Government knew, but of course the British public did not know.

Later, in 1987, the Spycatcher scandal blew up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spycatcher. The British Government went to absurd lengths to try to suppress publication, taking legal action in England and Wales, and in Australia. In the Australian trial, the Head of the (UK) Civil Service, Sir Robert Armstrong, made his still-famous comment about being “economical with the truth“: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economical_with_the_truth#Political_catchphrase.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, those interested in the rather underwhelming book could buy it and read it without let or hindrance. Absurdly, the same was true in Scotland, because Scotland has its own legal system and the British Government had not thought to apply for any restrictions in that jurisdiction.

I myself had a copy of the book soon after publication. Not a total bore but not exactly riveting either. Had the Government simply let Wright, the author, sell the book without all the publicity occasioned by the attempt to ban it, it would never have become a bestseller. As it was, millions of copies were sold, and Wright died, possessed of huge royalties, in 1995.

In fact, had the Government paid Wright his full pension at an earlier stage, he never would have written the book, or at least published it.

Now we have the Internet. Anyone with, say, a Twitter/X account can publish or republish under their own name, or a pseudonym. The English courts are unable to prevent —and/or in most cases even punish— any breach of injunction, certainly not before millions of people around the world have seen the material.

The guilty should be punished.

Dutch political commentator, Eva Vlaardingerbroek (@EvaVlaar), on the WEF’s plan to impose a personal carbon allowance, connected to digital ID, under the guise of tackling the imaginary “climate crisis”:

“The CEO of one of the largest Dutch banks said, if everyone gets individual personal carbon credits, why don’t we make it so that rich people, who for example want to go on holiday a little too often, can buy personal carbon credits from people who can’t afford buying plane tickets or eating meat too often?”

So what will happen is the rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and they’re saying it openly as if it’s not a controversial thing at all. It’s neo-feudalism. That’s what it is.”

Regardless of whether or when Israel crushes the population of Gaza and maybe occupies Gaza indefinitely, Israel’s days are numbered. Hamas is not Israel’s only opponent.

I should not usually retweet a Jewish Zionist, but the veracity of the above tweet by “Hyman Kochanski” can hardly be denied.

When I opined, at various times over the years, that the UK would gradually decline, crumble, break down, most people either disagreed or replied that nothing could be done about it.

Somewhat akin to my curses as I traversed the crumbling roads of coastal southern England today. Potholed roads (mostly “A” roads, at that, not “B” or unclassified), and mostly not being repaired.

The UK Government has money with which to close down the economy for months and years because of panic over a virus that killed hardly anybody, it has money to spend on housing and feeding hundreds of thousands of migrant-invaders, it has money to throw away as “aid” to the corrupt, brutal shambles posing the the “state” (failed state) of “Ukraine”, but little for the British people.

At the same time, in the UK itself, almost nothing works properly: the migration-invasion continues, people generally are getting ripped-off right, left, and centre, living costs continue to increase relative to both pay and benefits, the NHS is at best now a skeleton service, and the schools and supposed “universities” are churning out “highly-qualified” (thanks to award inflation) “graduates” who know, most of them, ****-all.

That does not cover the entirety of the shambles; just a selection.

When I was first there, in mid-1988, I was one of only a tiny handful of people on the bridge; about 7 people. The next time I saw it, in 1999, there were hundreds, and Prague was a very different city.

Corbyn was right, it seems— “they” really do not understand irony…

Reminiscence of a Christmas past

Reading a couple of tweets today reminds me of a personal experience of the criminal courts at Christmas-time.

I think that it was December 1993 when I went to Snaresbrook Crown Court (on the London/Essex border) to defend a West Indian accused of selling counterfeit cassette tapes at a street market.

I had formulated what I thought was a reasonable defence on the facts; in effect, mainly an alibi defence.

The defendant was rather a pain, who obviously thought himself a very clever fellow; I had also represented him at the committal proceedings at Highbury Corner Mags.

I was looking forward not only to a possibly successful defence but also to a lunch or more with a lady I knew slightly, who lived quite close to the Court, and who knew that I would be there that day. Not a firm date, but a pleasant possibility anyway.

Just before the start of the trial, Prosecution Counsel came to me with the news that the prosecution was not going to proceed. The cost of proving, via forensic science, that the tapes were counterfeit was too much, apparently.

Pleasant news both for the defendant and for me. Instead of a day in court, finished at 1030. The only negative factor— two days of refreshers (daily fees) which I would not get.

I was in the robing room and about to get ready to leave, when the public address system called my name. I hurried to the large circular reception desk in the entrance lobby of the building. Naturally, I thought that it must be that lunching lady whose businessman husband was, presumably, on the golf course where (she claimed) he spent most of his time.

Imagine my surprise and, to be frank, disappointment, when the person awaiting me was a short, fat barrister, who asked me whether I would be willing to undertake a defence at short notice (almost immediately). I agreed. A modest standard fee, but don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…

It emerged that, by reason of bureaucratic mistakes, a defendant (another West Indian) had actually got as far as Crown Court trial, on a charge of theft or attempted theft (of a handbag), without ever having had the benefit of solicitor or Counsel. Something, as far as I know, unheard of these days except where a defendant represents himself by choice.

The facts alleged were that the defendant had been being shadowed by a special police squad in the busy Upper Street, Islington, and that the surveillance squad had seen him enter the Cuba Libre restaurant.

The defendant had then emerged with a large laminated menu, and sat at an outside table, next to and very close to a table occupied by a group of young women. The police squad had observed the defendant’s foot moving the handbag in question, which was resting on the ground. Finally, the defendant had allegedly made to grab the handbag, only to be jumped upon and arrested before he could even get to his feet.

I actually knew the restaurant, had visited it a few times, and had even once sat outside, the very locus of the alleged offence.

I had a brief conference with the defendant. I asked him why he was even at a restaurant in view of the police evidence that he had not a penny in his pocket on arrest. His answer? That he had been awaiting his girlfriend, who always paid! I made a joke to the effect that I should have a girlfriend like that.

I told the defendant that the evidence did not really show that what he had done amounted to theft, or even to an attempt.

A poor witness in his own defence, but there was no need for him to give evidence at all, really. Let the Prosecution prove the attempt, if they could.

In Court, the judge was perplexed as to how the trial could ever have come on without Counsel having been instructed beforehand. Prosecution Counsel was equally perplexed. Still, both Counsel present were ready to roll, until —just as I got to my feet to reply to a remark from the judge— the defendant shouted out “WILL YOU PLEASE DEFEND ME?!“, followed by “I DON’T WANT HIM! I WANT SOMEONE ELSE” (unnamed).

The judge told the defendant to keep quiet, but added that, in the circumstances, he had no alternative but to adjourn the trial until late January, and grant the defendant bail. As the Prosecution Counsel said to me, that was exactly why the defendant had shouted out— he knew that he would be bailed over Christmas and New Year, and thought that an immediate trial would mean a custodial sentence that day, very likely.

I think that that defendant was wrong. I think that I could have had him acquitted that day, but there we are… I have occasionally wondered what happened at the eventual trial.

Incidentally, Cuba Libre closed some years ago, but has been resurrected in Dalston, East London, under another name. The interior seems to be similar to that of the restaurant I remember, though.

On some occasions, the fraudsters, who were led by David Levi, 49, wore Pudsey Bear outfits which had been bought online, and used email addresses and websites set up to look like legitimate charities, Preston Crown Court heard.”

Good afternoon, and an early Merry Griftmas to you all. I’m publishing this early to get ahead of a systemic attempt to shut this controversy down.

I can now reveal some of the extent of the grift as money sloshed through Jack Monroe’s PayPal account when she fraudulently claimed to be suing@MartinDaubney and @LeeAndersonMP_, as well as a bit earlier in 2022 when she repeatedly claimed her website was broken and she desperately needed the advertising income to continue her job as a “recipe writer”, making no mention of the £10k she had just received from Patreon subscribers.

My research covers the time period of the fake libel case, as well as various other begs such as the broken website, etc. and all the times she claimed to be living in poverty (e.g. July 2022), etc. however it was not possible to negotiate access to data earlier than that so we’ll never publicly know how much she scammed from 2012-2021, sorry.

It also does not cover beyond May 2023 as the primary focus of my investigation has been on the fake libel fundraiser which didn’t go beyond that time, as the most egregious fraud perpetuated on the public. January/February 2022: the “broken website” beg netted her more than £7,000 – seemingly a mixture of existing followers and new followers acquired from Nigella’s promotion of Jack’s Patreon and subsequent uplift in Patreon takings.

The fake libel trial: Over £25,000 in the first few days of the initial tweet about the alleged libel. Then, depending on how you calculate it (because no, these funds were NOT ringfenced at all), over £150,000 minimum across the year of claiming that she was definitely, 100% going ahead with it, boosted at various times when she put the beg out again and again and referenced it in media interviews, etc.

Hunger Hurts 2 – July 2022: A “smaller beg” of over £3,000 for contrived nonsense about boiling down soap to make shower gel. These figures and some of the data have been passed to HMRC and Action Fraud, urging them to do a deeper investigation.

Given the sensitive nature of the information, as well as the threats (of violence, of doxxing, of generally unpleasant things promised), police interest (I have not been arrested or charged), and backlash I received for leaking the Patreon data I was given, I am not going to publish the raw information at all; partly because I’m not a complete cunt, partly because there’s so many transactions that redacting them would take ages, and partly because doing so would likely undermine any future criminal investigation which has been my goal all along.

The level of deceit displayed by her is jaw-dropping. Inventing the fictional persona of “Jack Monroe”, the people’s poverty princess, and then revising history and testing out different versions of events to concoct the most emotionally charged and financially lucrative story to steal money from well-meaning, naive people: most of whom appear to have been less well-off than her, backing up the assertion that she claimed was defamatory about her making money off of poor people.

The people who platformed her have a lot to answer for, too. She didn’t become famous on her own. She has been platformed, celebrated, and supported by celebrities and the media for over a decade: all of it based on a mistelling of the truth that has grown out of all proportion to become monstrous, menacing, and misleading.

She has taken you all for a ride and laughed at your expense every step of the way. The watch, the earrings, the Cotswold sideboards, etc. all came from money you’ve given her. And it hasn’t helped the less fortunate: her “campaigning” has been insipid and weak, vague and general rather than specific, and a waste of time when a more qualified, knowledgeable person with the work ethic Jack lacks could have been platformed instead.

I can only hope this conclusively puts an end to her scamming and she faces justice for all the bad things she’s done. It is my fervent wish that she becomes a winning answer on the show Pointless (as nobody will know who she is) and that she is treated with contempt and mockery everywhere she goes, second only to the wish that she faces proper investigation and criminal sanctions for the fraud she’s committed.

And, at this point, given all I have seen, I am firmly of the opinion that it is fraud. Not a mistake, not an “oopsie, my bad” but clear, calculated fraud designed to take money from well-meaning people and spend it on herself. My work here is done.

This account will now be archived so the evidence remains public. Thanks for all your support. I couldn’t have done it without you all. I am off to enjoy my Christmas vacation now and I hope you are too (if you celebrate it). Please enjoy the video at the bottom and turn the sound up to hear the song.

The real “net” figure is even higher at present, closer to 600,000. Another point is that those leaving are often white British people, meaning that the “net” figures often cited disguise the true level of demographic change. Neither do such figures make any reference to the numbers of non-whites born in the UK every year. White British people are declining in numbers constantly, not only in percentage terms but also in terms of absolute numbers.

The Migration Advisory Committee: “The evidence suggests net migration has contributed to -but is by no means the only cause of- higher housing costs”.

The apparent popularity (with many) of Eddie Izzard has always puzzled me. I see nothing interesting in what he has to say, nothing worthwhile in his political positions (such as they are) and, from what I have seen of him on TV and in newspapers, the supposed “comedian” does not seem to be —in the slightest— funny.

Jews (Israelis) burying people alive using bulldozers; civilians at that,

How long will the world tolerate this evil?

While I have little time for the Israeli Jews, I have less for those in countries such as the UK who cheer on the quasi-genocide while pretending to be terribly “offended” by satirical cartoons.

Historical note

I was just reading something about the 18thC German mystic and writer, Novalis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novalis], better known in Central Europe than in the UK.

I saw this on Wikipedia:

While at Jena, he published his first poem and befriended the playwright and fellow poet Friedrich Schiller. In Leipzig, he then met Friedrich Schlegel, becoming lifetime friends. Novalis completed his law degree in 1794 at the age of 22. He then worked as a legal assistant in Tennstedt immediately after graduating. There, he met Sophie von Kühn. The following year Novalis and Sophie became secretly engaged. Sophie became severely ill soon after the engagement and died just after her 15th birthday. Sophie’s early death had a life-long impact on Novalis and his writing.”

Also, re that girl:

Although Novalis’s love for Sophie has assumed mythic proportions, their time together was short and uneventful. The two met on 17 November 1794 when Novalis was twenty-two and Sophie was only twelve. They became engaged on Sophie’s thirteenth birthday 17 March 1795. Sophie became sick in November 1795, and her sickness continued until her death at the age of 15 in March 1797.”

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_von_K%C3%BChn]

I suppose that the average person today in the UK would be appalled at her young age when engaged, but the Wikipedia piece makes it fairly obvious that the relationship was kept on an idealized or romantic-spiritual level.

Paris was still a pretty decent, if rather quirky and odd city in 1971, when I spent three weeks there with a French couple (in the 5th Arrondisement; on the Left Bank). When I saw it again, in 1978, it was still OK. I did not see Paris again until 1990. Already its character had changed in many ways, mostly negatively. I was not there again, in the city itself, until about 2008. The rot had really set in…

They should be dealt with, if not by the State then by the people directly.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12875077/Israel-s-killing-rage-undermining-legal-basis-Gaza-action-warns-Wallace.html

Former defence secretary Ben Wallace has warned Israel that it risks undermining the legal basis for its action in the Gaza Strip, adding to growing international pressure over the escalating conflict.

Writing in the Telegraph, the senior Tory warned against a ‘killing rage’ and said Israel’s ‘original legal authority of self-defence is being undermined by its own actions’.

The intervention by Mr Wallace, who left office earlier this year, is the latest warning to Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration amid deepening concern over the scale of civilian casualties.”

[Daily Mail]

Even pro-Israel drones such as Wallace are now trying to distance themselves from Israel’s “massacre of (mainly) the innocents” in Gaza.

The Israelis and other Jews may not be (mainly) descended from the original Israelites of thousands of years ago (the Jews of today being descended mainly from Black Sea or other Khazars), but the former model their actions on the Israelites’ genocidal wars as recounted in the Old Testament.

“Jack Monroe”

I have in the past blogged about fraudulent “grifter” “Jack Monroe” a number of times (look via the blog search box), and still do not understand how it is that a black woman in Bristol is currently in prison for doing effectively the same as Jack Monroe (who has not been prosecuted): see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/31/edward-colston-statue-protest-bristol-xahra-saleem-fundraiser.

The above details only “Jack Monroe’s” Patreon “grift”. In addition, the “grifting” fraud also got money from stray donations direct to her, from newspaper interviews, radio, and TV shows and interviews, from “consultancy” “work” for major supermarkets, from well-paid appearances at various festivals and other events, and from book royalties, as well as from fake appeals for money based on non-existent legal actions against Lee Anderson MP and others (monies which “Jack Monroe” then pocketed for her own use). A total of tens of thousands of pounds a month at peak.

If you do, you risk (in the UK) being prosecuted at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby, eg the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. They have corrupted or otherwise suborned the police and CPS. I myself was recently convicted in the magistrates’ courts by reason of such a prosecution, as regular readers of the blog will know (I may appeal; we shall see).

Incredibly, there are millions of poor saps who believe loonies and/or liars of that sort. If you are told constantly, for example, from age 5 or 7 or 10, or 14, and from all manner of “authoritative” msm and other sources, that millions of Jews were killed during 1941-1944 in “gas chambers” by German SS personnel in Poland, then that idea becomes embedded in your psyche, and stays there until you are, so to speak, “cured” in —usually— later life, whether that be at age 21, 28, 35, 42 or whenever.

They sit there in their armchairs, calling for genocide, while fellow-Jews smile and laugh in the TV studio or elsewhere, yet if anyone in the West posts a comment about them, or a satirical cartoon, they are —or pretend to be— horrified, and equate that to “terrorism”…

Esther McVey is merely one of hundreds of “deadhead MPs”. The fact that so many clowns can become MPs and even Cabinet ministers proves, in my judgment, that the whole system is rotten.

My assessment of Esther McVey from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/03/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-esther-mcvey-story/.

Goodwin is right on those points, but goes very far wrong in persisting in his support for the Israel lobby, aka Jew-Zionist lobby, the very pack that is closing down free speech in the UK, not to mention supporting the migration invasion.

Stupid “Conservative” drone thinks that about 50,000 migrant-invaders crossing the Channel every year is “not a huge amount“. 1,000 each week. Where does the Government intend to park 1,000 new arrivals each and every week until the year dot (or until the UK explodes)?

I myself once met a Metropolitan of Kiev (the second-ranking dignity in the Russian Orthodox Church). At breakfast. My then girlfriend was looking after him that day (he spoke no English).

I think that that was at the de Vere Hotel by Kensington High Street, and in the early/mid-1980s. Maybe 1983 or 1984. He gave me some of his kefir (the first time I had tried it) and, at the same time, deftly fielded a question from me about his view of Tolstoy. Later that morning, at the empty Russian Orthodox Cathedral (also in Kensington), he gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.

Talking point

Political drones and mouthpieces such as Indian money-juggler Sunak are effectively signed-up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, and the destruction or deformation of what is left of our white European societies (in Europe, in North America, in Australasia etc).

Statements such as the above are designed purely to mitigate the upcoming destruction of the Conservative Party (again, what is left of it) at the 2024 General Election.

If Sunak can get the nationwide Con Party vote up from its present (opinion poll) 20%, to 30% at the 2024 General Election, then the Con Party will survive, as will the fraudulent UK binary political system.

Note, though, who Sunak (impliedly) blames for the migration invasion— Putin! Not the “LibLabCon”-men and women who have encouraged non-white immigration to the UK for the past 50-60 years, and not “them” (((the usual suspects))), aka (((the “you know who”))), but Putin, the System’s current favourite msm ogre.

In any case, the Rwanda policy, if ever implemented, would deal with only a fraction of the “illegal” invaders, and none of the “legal” ones, so would only reduce the migration-invasion from maybe a million invaders per year (700,000+ “net”) to maybe 950,000 (650,000+ “net”), at best.

Already this morning, I’ve had one person tweet that I’m personally a genocidal maniac, another that Jews are deicides (in the usual phrase, which Twitter is alert to). We can see that contemporary Jew hate has both ancient & modern components.

None of the innocent Twitter-X readers reading the above tweet would be aware, naturally, that the same woman once openly tweeted (several years ago) to another elderly Jew-Zionist woman that both I and another then tweeter (that tweeter in fact unknown to me) should be made to drink strychnine…

When you visit, as I have, the marble cistern at Zaghouan (modern Tunisia) and its aqueduct flowing (originally) a hundred miles to Roman-era Carthage, or when you visit, as I also have, the Alexandria Museum in Egypt, and see the classical era statues and other exhibits, you feel a sense of racial-cultural kinship which you emphatically do not feel in respect of the Arab societies around those oases of Western/European culture.

[I think that that should be “Garda” not “Gardai“, but I may be mistaken].

Incidentally, last Friday I was in a medium-size UK city. Not far from the centre of the city. A street with a Tesco Express, a Starbucks, estate agencies, various professional offices etc. All that, and —at about 0800 hrs— a number of people still sleeping in the streets in sleeping bags, blankets etc. Terrible (both in itself and aesthetically).

I had a mediocre cappuccino and croissant in the nearby Starbucks, until the horrible “music” drove me out. I thought to give a coin to a fellow in a shop doorway who had evidently woken up while I was in the Starbucks place (it hardly merited the title, “cafe”). A white Englishman aged maybe 30-something, or 40, maybe an ex-soldier, who growled “thanks, mate” as I pressed a £2 coin into his hand, suggesting that he buy himself a drink (probably not the best thing I could have said).

As I walked away, and about 50 feet further on, a black woman without most of her teeth (drug abuser?) accosted me and started on a story about how she wanted to get into a shelter but needed £20. I told her that I did not have £20, but felt in my pocket for another coin; a 50p was the only one. I gave it to her, and she took my modest offering without a word of thanks as I departed.

Britain’s cities in 2023…

My point (apart from just reporting what I experienced) is that neither of the two people I encountered was a migrant-invader (both spoke with British accents), and both were sleeping in the streets, in winter. Had they been migrant-invaders, they would have been in hotels paid for by the Government (i.e. by UK taxpayers). They would have been sheltered, fed, and given pocket money of (?) about £40 a week (the exact amount seems to vary), as well as provided with transport, medical and dental services, even online services.

How can this be right? Also, if another million immigrants arrive in 2024, and another in 2025 (etc), and even if “only” about 50,000 a year are small boat invaders asking for or demanding help, how is this situation sustainable? Answer— it isn’t.

[Update, 18 December 2023: it occurs to me that readers may object that the black woman mentioned was also a kind of migrant-invader, even if born in the UK. True in essence, but my point was that she had not just “got off the boat”; I should have been clearer].

A modern form of eugenics may be, in part, a way forward.

Why then has the “Conservative” Party colluded with others to import millions of non-Europeans, many since 2010?

Weasel words to try to stave off electoral disaster in 2024.

However, when pressed by the interviewer as to policies he thinks will win the support of the voters, all Francois could come up with were two: getting rid of inheritance tax, and spending more on defence.

Inheritance tax only impacts a tiny number of people anyway, all of whom already vote Conservative.

As to Defence, which Francois (military background— a year reading War Studies for a Master’s degree, and 3-4 years in the TA, final rank Lieutenant) thinks will be a huge issue next year, that again is not something which most voters think is important.

Our armed forces are now quite weak, and very small, but our traditional enemies (Germany, France, maybe Denmark and the Netherlands —going back 300 years or more—) are now not enemies or potential enemies. The larger potential opponents (Russia, China) are so powerful that the UK could not think of fighting them, and anyway they are far away, and the UK has only limited air/sea transport capability.

The armed forces have shown themselves incapable even of preventing migration-invasion, let alone any real one (which would come from…where?).

For me, Francois’ remarks are a measure of how out of touch with the people the Conservative Party now is. He has no idea; the Conservative Party has no idea.

Listening to Francois trying to express what his preference for “overall narrative” of his party would be just underlines the sheer mediocrity (at best) of so many MPs now.

Sage. That quotation could be a commentary on my own recent prosecution and conviction (I may appeal) for (allegedly) posting on the blog, and telling society a few socio-political and historical truths, mainly truths about “them” (((them))).

Imagine if the same were done in the halls of music, literature, philosophy, martial endeavour, science etc. There would be almost nothing left.

The news report about that scandal: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12845439/Now-police-CANCEL-Chief-Constables.html.

Read that. Turns out that, as so often, the Chief Constable in question is a woman, and moreover one who, after a business studies degree at what was then Sheffield Polytechnic, joined the police in Cambridgeshire. Her Wikipedia entry contains no detail of any interesting cases or arrests, just a careerist plod (no pun intended) upwards on the bureaucratic ladder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Farrell.

A few more of those G.K. Chesterton quotations:

Were Chesterton to live in our own times, he would have been “cancelled” by intellectual pygmies, would probably never have been published, and would quite likely find himself having to defend nonsensical and/or malicious allegations in the criminal courts.

[G.K. Chesterton]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton.

Incidentally, Wikipedia’s piece on G.K. Chesterton contains the caveat “not to be confused with A.K. Chesterton“.

A.K. Chesterton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._K._Chesterton] was a remote relative of G.K. and perhaps, possibly, probably (I do not know) named “A.K.” deliberately because of the connection, G.K. Chesterton then being a very famous figure indeed (who was even cited and quoted in novels such as Brideshead Revisited, published much later— 1945, in that case; Brideshead contains a scene involving a reading aloud of Chesterton’s Father Brown story, The Queer Feet [https://www3.nd.edu/~afreddos/courses/43811/queerfeet.htm]).

When, from about 1975, and at age 17 or 18, I became actively interested in contemporary British politics (in addition to my earlier and continuing interest in the Germany and Russia of the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s), I heard tell about A.K. Chesterton at or around the League of St. George, in a couple of cases from people who had known him personally (he died in 1973).

I read a couple of copies of “A.K.’s” magazine, Candour, and carried on a brief political correspondence in 1976-1977 with some (?) Irish and certainly Roman Catholic lady who had continued the publication after the death of “A.K.”. Frankly, I did not think much of either. The young can be censorious, often too censorious.

Ah. I had forgotten that lady’s name, but am now reminded by Wikipedia, about 46 or more years on, that it was Rosine de Bounevialle. I do remember that she was based in Liss Forest, Hampshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candour_(magazine); https://www.candour.org.uk/.

Ukrainian intelligence today revealed chilling images from the scene of the assassination of Ilya Kyva, a ‘traitor’ and former Kyiv MP turned Putin puppet. 

Kyva, 46, was gunned down last week as he went for a walk in a supposedly safe location at a country club near Moscow – the latest of several collaborators to have been assassinated in recent months. 

Images from the scene show his body lying in the snow – and the weapons supposedly used to ‘liquidate’ him were discovered hanging on a tree nearby. Video was also released apparently showing the assassin lying in wait in the snow and watching passers-by.

The SBU secret service made clear the images and footage were deliberately released as a warning to other Ukrainians collaborating with Vladimir Putin’s invading forces.

‘This is a signal to all traitors and war criminals who have gone over to the enemy’s side,’ a Ukrainian source told media.

Yes. If Farage and Tice actually fight the 2024 GE, unlike their behaviour in 2019, when they stabbed their own followers in the back and enabled “Boris”-idiot to lead the Con Party to an unmerited victory, Reform UK might manage between 15%-20%. Even 15% would sink the Con Party, leaving Con Party with about 53 seats, depending on the Lab and LibDem showing. If Reform UK can get to 20%, and if most of the extra votes come from Con Party, the latter might be left with as few as 14 MPs.

My own guess, on present showing, is that the nationwide vote for Reform UK might exceed 15%; not sure.

My other guess is that the Con Party will be left with between 50 and 100 MPs.

That, of course, will mean a Labour Party elected dictatorship.

Update, 7 December 2024

Well, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, I got it right, or almost right: Reform UK did fight the General Election and, despite the unfair/illogical FPTP voting system, got 14.29%, which gave them 5 MPs (under a pure proportional-voting system, it would have been 92 or 93 MPs).

The Con Party did get hammered, ending up with a few more MPs —121— than the 50-100 I predicted.

As for the Labour “elected” dictatorship, yes, that also happened. Despite only getting 33.7% of the voted vote, Labour now has 411 MPs (out of 650).

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/dec/06/the-britons-stockpiling-for-a-crisis-food-toilet-rolls-supplies

Kathryn is a firm believer in the 19th-century adage that we are only ever nine meals from anarchy. Having learned the skill of stockpiling from her wartime parents and grandparents, her first mini-foray was in preparation for Y2K.

“That was mainly candles and biscuits, because I didn’t really take it very seriously,” she said. “But it did mean that I was already halfway there when I realised I needed a substantial, genuine Brexit stash, which then morphed into a Covid stash, which in turn became a cost of living store, then an ‘Are we going to run out of electricity?’ store when the Ukraine war kicked off, and is now a general, all-encompassing everyday/WW3 stash.”

Kathryn could soon be joined by many more concerned citizens preparing for a worst-case scenario after the deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, said this week that people should stock up on battery-powered radios, torches, candles and first aid kits in case of power cuts or digital communications going down.

Not such a silly idea. I have examined that and other aspects of prepping on the blog (search via the search box).

As mentioned previously, the once very famous occult-thriller (etc) writer, Dennis Wheatley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley], in his very readable memoirs, Drink and Ink, recounted how, in his popular newspaper column of the late 1930s, he recommended to his readers that they “stock up” on tinned food (mainly) against the likelihood of a European war.

Wheatley followed his own advice, and thus was better prepared than most for the rigours of British WW2 rationing. Of course, he was in a better position than most, living in a country house at Lymington in the New Forest, and with both storage space and money with which to spend stocking up.

Not a bad idea if you have those two necessities. 20 years ago, I could have done that myself; I was then living in one of the largest houses in Cornwall (only leased, sadly) and was, if far from wealthy or affluent, at least not usually very short of money on a day to day basis.

[where I lived about 20 years ago]

Times change. The whole of my present tiny flat would fit at least twice over merely into the ballroom of that Cornish house. I now have no space (let alone money to spend) “stocking-up” for national emergency. Should my circumstances change, I would do that, though.

The Mormons, at least in their home state of Utah, make sure that they have in their homes a basic supply of dried and tinned goods sufficient for 2 years. Perhaps a legacy from the covered-wagon days of the mid-19thC in that part of the world.

I shall not go into great detail here about such prepping, but since Wheatley’s 1930s, the technology of canning has moved on, the variety of tinned goods has expanded, and the same is true of dried goods.

In the end, storing tins of food etc will not save you, years down the line, but it can provide a breathing space for you and your families.

Worth considering.

Abraham Andemariam showed a “clear disregard for the animals in the road”, leaving a number of animals dead and others injured with “skin torn away from their limbs”, the court was told. Andemariam did not stop at the scene after the incident in Warrington in July, but the registration plate of his black Hyundai was captured on a Ring doorbell and given to the police.

Rebecca Templeman, defending, explained that Andemariam, who hails from Eritrea and needed a Tigrinya interpreter in court, confessed to the offences during an interview.

But during the treatment at a baths in Istanbul the masseuse spotted the mystery lump and questioned what it was.

‘I remember talking to my friends like: “My God. How is a Turkish masseuse doing a better job of telling me what’s wrong with me than my GP has for months?”

Despite having a scan when she returned home doctors continued to insist she was suffering from benign fibroids and showed no urgency towards her.

It was only when eight months later medics removed a lump the size of a grapefruit that she was diagnosed with an incurable gynaecological cancer.

There are still innumerable pseudo-socialists and others who seem to think seriously that the UK, and the rest of Europe, can absorb waves of mass immigration without limit. How wrong they are. In the end, those waves will break down society completely, destroy our people, and smash our society into pieces.

From me, in my present circumstances (regular readers will know what I mean!), no comment…

The logical outcome is to allow anyone at all to participate, i.e. have no men’s or women’s individual sports. Let women and men (and “trans” types) compete together. That will delete the “trans” nonsense from the whole situation (though admittedly also at the expense of women athletes, of course).

Alternatively, just have proper men’s and women’s sports, as previously.

Britain built 200k houses last year. CPS estimate we now need to build at least 514,000 houses each year, more than half of which is just to keep up with record net migration (much of which is a fiscal drag on the economy). It’s neither “racist” nor “far right” to point to how immigration is fuelling the housing crisis.

It is, however, germane, to point out that a high proportion of immigrants (both “legal” and “illegal”) have no useful qualifications, and in many cases cannot even speak English beyond the most basic level. Apart from that, the fact is that “race is the root-stock, culture is the flower and fruit“. Race or “ethnicity” is central to the whole question.

Unsurprising. After all, Mrs Thatcher was called “the only man in the British Cabinet“. Nothing much has changed. I have observed these useless drones and those of similar type for 50 years, since I was a teenager. Members of the Bench and Bar, partners in firms of City solicitors, MPs etc.

Sunak and his Cabinet of Clowns become more pathetic daily.

This was the magistrate/District Judge presiding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan_Ikram.

The photograph is misleading. The case commented upon was in the magistrates’ court, not the High Court or Court of Appeal.

The commentary is right, though. Some magistrates do seem to want to guess what was in the mind of a defendant posting online.

There really is no longer “free speech” or freedom of expression in the UK. My own trial, last month, confirmed that. What was behind my wrongful prosecution? The Jew-Zionist Israel-lobby cabal called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. You don’t have to believe me, incidentally. They have admitted it repeatedly on their own Twitter/X account, as well as on their website.

Go woke, go broke“, some say. Let’s hope so…

A bad law. I should know, having been convicted under its stupid and badly-drafted provisions only last month. The Law Commission recommended its repeal (I was one of the lay consultees, and noted as such at the end of the Law Commission report).

As to my own case, I shall decide whether to appeal after I am sentenced in a couple of months.

I hope that those convicted will appeal to Crown Court.

Little Indian money-juggler Sunak reminds me of those hopeless contestants on TV quiz shows such as The Chase, the completely ignorant contestants, of whom you wonder “why are you even on a quiz show? You couldn’t buy a right answer“.

Had I been asked as recently as last month whether I thought that Sunak would lead his “Light Brigade” into the next general election, I would have replied that he would, if only because that election now looms large, with only a year or so to go, at maximum (I am told January 2025 would be the last possible month). There is a degree of “groundrush”.

Now? I am not so sure. The Conservative Party looks like getting wiped out, or at least reduced to as few as 50 MPs, unless its “leaders” can put forward something as a gamechanger. So far, every policy initiative run up the flagpole has been shot down by a public showing of thumbs-down. It may just be that the last desperate throw will be to change the leader (again).

Talking of American “Christian Zionists”, when I lived in New Jersey, over 30 years ago, one would often see cars carrying bumper stickers, occasionally amusing. One such was that proclaiming “If the driver of this car disappears, he has gone to Rapture“, “Rapture” being the idea that the religiously “Blessed” will all be taken up and protected by higher powers as the world in general is destroyed.

Actually, there were several bumper stickers seen back then that I found amusing, such as “My wife— yes. My car— maybe. My gun— NEVER!“, and the short and rather bitter “Jane Fonda— American traitor bitch“.

Most English people do not go in for bumper stickers, though I saw one many years ago in Cornwall that said “Too close for missiles; switching to guns“, which I took to be a former Naval person of some sort.

I’ll admit it: I never really expected the Tories to cut migration by much, despite their promises. But I also didn’t expect them to double it. In fact, net migration has more than doubled since Covid. In 2019, about 227,000 more people arrived than left the UK. In the year ending December 2022, it was 745,000.

[that’s “more than tripled“, not merely “more than doubled”]

One might explain that extraordinary figure as a product of one-off factors: a catch-up after the pandemic, plus the Ukraine and Hong Kong schemes. But as of this week we have another half-year of data. In the year to June 2023, net migration still added an astonishing 672,000 to our population. So this is not an anomaly.

It is a further, massive liberalisation of Britain’s economic and social model after a period in which voters have made it overwhelmingly, blisteringly clear that they want to tighten it.

• I don’t know plan to cut arrivals, says Badenoch

The rationale, as ever, is the fiscal bottom line. During the past couple of decades migration has increasingly been the lever pulled to smooth out structural problems in our economy, but never has it been used so dramatically. The latest uptick in numbers is driven primarily by the recruitment of overseas care workers, who were made eligible for visas only early last year. Within months, care workers began to account for a third of all long-term work visas granted by the entire British immigration system.

Why did this happen? The government’s migration quango, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), stated that visas might be used as a “temporary” measure to make up for the inability to recruit immigrants from the EU. But this “temporary” measure has led to a surge in care workers far greater than we have seen before, this time from India, Nigeria and the Philippines rather than eastern Europe. Like the previous surges, it will no doubt permanently alter the labour market.

The main effect is to prevent wages from rising and working conditions from improving. The MAC has stated for years that we do not have enough care workers because care homes don’t pay them enough. Turnover in the sector runs at 28 per cent, creating a constant need for overseas recruits.

Unfortunately, instead of solving the shortage, the new recruits mainly replace current workers. As Miriam Cates pointed out in parliament this week, the UK recruited 70,000 care workers last year but vacancies in the sector only dropped by 11,000. Meanwhile, 20,000 British staff left, making the workforce ever more reliant on visas, which in turn gives employers greater power to exploit staff and effectively shave wages further. So much for this being a temporary fix.

In most sectors, of course, we would demand to know why employers are not fixing the problem. During the chronic shortage of lorry drivers after Covid, the spotlight rightly fell on the haulage industry, which had not delivered a real-terms pay rise in the UK for more than a decade. The usual suspects declared that solving the problem without much higher migration was impossible because modern Britons are constitutionally ill-suited to driving lorries. Instead, the industry began handing out massive bonuses and the government granted more licences. Miraculously, the shortage eased.

Why can’t the care sector do the same? Quite simply, because its biggest customer is the government and the government won’t pay up. It would rather let the sector run on knife-edge margins and loosen visa requirements. In other words, it is cannibalising its own supply chain in the manner of the most short-sighted and rapacious corporate.

The stupidest part is that this will probably end up costing money rather than saving it. The data suggests that whereas EU migrants tended to pay more in taxes than they received in benefits, non-EU migrants are, on average, net recipients from the tax system. This is particularly true when they bring dependent family members, as many on the new visa scheme do, and work minimum-wage jobs, as in the care sector.

Worse, despite overseeing a huge increase in annual migration, the government has made absolutely no plan for how it will build the additional infrastructure, housing and public services capacity needed to make sure the new workers have everything they need. The Treasury does not account for these costs at all on the bottom line. Perhaps that is because it knows the government cannot build this stuff anyway — in which case, the economic cost will be reflected in overcrowding, rationing, queues, rising rents and a general deterioration in living standards.

As should be obvious, none of this is the fault of the workers themselves. And if I had a close relative in care, it is the attitudes of the staff that would interest me rather than their home continent. This is not a question of judging individuals by their background. It is a question of numbers, the pace of cultural change and the economic model this country aspires to build.”

Woke” is a pseudo-religious belief system which views minority groups as sacred, is hostile toward the majority, subordinates individual rights behind fixed group (racial/sexual/gender) identities, opposes the objective scientific method in favour of subjective “lived experience”, & expands speech codes (“hate”, “racism”, etc) to erode free speech and try and silence critics in the name of “social justice”.

In some respects, Matt Goodwin talks a lot of sense, but his apparent adherence to the Jew-Zionist lobby rules him out, politically.

The “CAA” goblins, admitting once again (they have done so several times) that I was recently prosecuted only because they applied political pressure for that over the past two or three years.

They also admit that the “CAA” has been secretly pushing for my prosecution (on various trumped-up charges) since at least 2016, and have admitted on their website that Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet “lord” Ian Austin (the former expenses cheat MP and Israel puppet) had actually written to the Director of Public Prosecutions demanding that I be prosecuted.

Apparently, this was because tweets on my then-existing Twitter account (closed in 2018 after more pressure from the same Jew-Zionist lobby) were supposedly “antisemitic”.

Ironically, the “CAA” thus shot themselves in the foot, because the closure of my Twitter account in 2018 meant that the CPS did not have evidence sufficient to charge me —as the “CAA” and suborned police idiots wanted— with a more serious offence —absurd though that would have been— that of “incitement to racial hatred“.

Soon, the Online Harms Bill will be law. Under that law, I could not have been prosecuted at all (because “harm done” will apparently be the nub of the new law and, in my recent prosecution and trial, the Crown Prosecution Service admitted from the outset that there had been no harm done by the 5 allegedly “grossly offensive” blog posts allegedly published). Neither were they able to produce even one notional “victim”.

I suppose that the “CAA” goblins will then have to invent some “harm done” so that they can continue to repress free speech via a supine or suborned police and CPS establishment.

I did, or did not do, the same, was never affected or (maybe) infected by “Covid”, despite being a great deal older than tweeter David Morgan.

Bravo.

…and, were I to do the same (on the blog), I should probably have the Hampshire Police (“cosplaying” as a more polite kind of DDR Stasi) at my door again (as has happened several times in the past, the last such having been in 2021).

I agree. Both my (slightly younger) brothers, both amateur sportsmen all their lives, both without previous serious medical conditions (one living in the UK, one in Australia), had emergency heart operations in 2022. Both survived (one had a triple by-pass) and recovered. Anything else? Oh, yes, both had had multiple “Covid” pseudo-“vaccine” shots…

Idiots like her, however, are taken care of by the corrupt System even when the voters chuck them out, as happened to Esther McVey in 2015.

JUST IN: President Barack Obama’s former National Security Council advisor has been arrested after he stalked and spewed Islamophobic slurs at a NYC halal cart worker.

Stuart Seldowitz was charged with aggravated harassment, a hate crime and stalking after he threatened to deport a worker to Egypt. He also suggested he would have the worker’s parents tortured and asked if the worker “r*pes his daughter like Muhammad.”

He is facing a total of 5 counts. Seldowitz released a very weak apology saying he regrets that “the whole thing happened.” “I did have an argument with a food vendor. It is quite possible that it’s me. I mean, I’ve not seen the video, but I believe it’s probably me.” “If I had to do it all over again, I would not have raised the religious aspect.”

He also was caught on camera harassing a Russian. (first video below) What a terrible person.”

Look at his career. Look at what he did at the State Department. No wonder that, in US-Israel relations, “the tail wags the dog”. “They” have infiltrated deeply into key areas of Federal Government— State Department, CIA, Justice Department etc.

I myself have been harassed and stalked for a decade by a pack of Zionist Jews but, instead of said Jews getting arrested and charged etc, I was the one finally charged (on trumped-up charges of having put “grossly offensive” cartoons and remarks on this blog). Very recently convicted, I may appeal in or after February 2024.

Notice how that Jew, Seldowitz, smiles almost at random, like a faulty machine with crossed wires. A trait I have noticed in the past.

The Jew’s comment about the Egyptian Mukhabarat (secret police) breaking fingers sent a bit of a chill down my spine, though I have to admit that they were reasonably polite when I myself was “not” arrested in Egypt 25 years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/03/07/when-i-was-not-arrested-in-egypt/.

That alone should damn and destroy the “government” of the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

More importantly, how can our society even be maintained as it is now (let alone improved) when a million blacks and browns (the vast majority), and many quite “primitive”, enter the UK in a single year? The fact that a couple of hundred thousand individuals (many of them anyway either Brits emigrating, or Australians etc returning home) leave in the same year changes nothing, essentially.

This affects housing (overloaded), education (overloaded), social benefits and pay (the value of both lessened or just destroyed), transport (overloaded) and the actual average IQ-level of the country (lowered via the numbers of persons from relatively-low-IQ national and sub-racial groups invading the UK).

Do not forget that those are net figures. The vast majority of entrants are blacks and browns etc. A large proportion of those leaving are either white people such as Australians, New Zealanders etc returning home, or (real) British people emigrating. The true demographic picture is therefore even more disastrous than appears superficially.

Pretty much what I and others (BNP, Nick Griffin, Andrew Brons, the National Front, the British Movement etc, right back to the 1950s and Colin Jordan) have been saying for about 60 years (in my case since the 1970s).

We have been laughed at, violently opposed, frozen out of expressing our views and suggested policies (via the msm and, in more recent times, social media and Internet generally). Many have lost jobs and/or professional status. We have even been convicted (as in my own case this very month) on trumped-up charges.

I feel, however, that our time may be coming. Then, watch out.

When I testified at my own trial last Friday, I was asked by Crown Counsel as to whether the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan is “a conspiracy theory“. My answer was that it is not.

Coudenhove-Kalergi, a half-Austrian/half-Japanese, wrote a book outlining his plan. Today, you only have to look around you to see the practical application of it: Europe invaded by non-Europeans. Not repeat not some kind of accident. The aim? A mixed-race population, eventually, and ruled by a partly though not wholly Jewish ruling stratum.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi; and https://ia600401.us.archive.org/21/items/PracticalIdealism-EnglishTranslation/Practical%20Idealism%20%E2%80%93%20English%20Translation.pdf.

Anyone my age (67) can see clearly the demographic difference between the UK in, say, the 1960s, 1970s, even 1990s, and the UK of 2023.

Look at the replies. Mostly angry at what has happened and what is still, every single day, happening.

One or two made an especially good point— that such polls also include the views of persons from what are still called ethnic minorities. If they were excluded, the results would be even more striking.

As usual, though, Goodwin does not focus on the groups mainly responsible for funnelling immigrants into Europe. “They” are not mentioned…

The (((influence))) in the UK is just ridiculous now. Look at how, for 24 or 48 hours, the Israeli flag was projected —by Sunak’s order, or the order of “those” behind him— onto 10 Downing Street recently. Pure supremacism.

Liberty fought tyranny in the High Court in London last week, in what I believe is one of the most important court cases of our time. The issues were simple. Is it permissible to disagree publicly with the British Government‘s foreign policy?

If not, how much do you have to disagree with it to be in trouble? And can you then be severely punished without a proper trial?

I have a strong personal interest in this, since I often (in fact, almost always) disagree with British foreign policy. This frequently seems to have been made by bomb-happy teenagers who have never looked at a map, opened a history book or done any proper travel.

These are surely huge issues for any country. Apart from anything else, if foreign policy cannot be criticised, how long before domestic policy is protected in the same way?

Well worth reading.

From over a year ago but nothing has changed since then.

Anyone who thinks that misnamed “Labour” will be somehow better than the equally-misnamed “Conservatives” is self-deluding. Having said that, the “Con Party” does deserve to be stamped on and reduced to a tiny caucus at the 2024 General Election.

Stop the migration-invasion. Remove those not wanted in this country. Eliminate rogue landlords and buy-to-let parasites. Build decent homes for British people.

Bob Stewart was at least well-known. Any replacement will probably attract fewer votes even before the slide in Con Party fortunes is taken into account.

Beckenham has been a fairly safe Conservative seat since its creation in 1950. The Conservatives won easily even at the General Election of 1997, and the scandals around Piers Merchant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Merchant] did not prevent his successor from winning the seat at the by-election (also in 1997): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_1990s.

That it looks as if Beckenham will go Labour in 2024 is of wider significance, and underlines the almost existential crisis of the Conservative Party.

Another fact of straw-in-the-wind significance is that the likely new MP for Beckenham is one Marina Ahmad, a Bangladeshi who moved to the UK when 6 months old. The Great Replacement?…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Ahmad; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Stewart_(politician)[.

[Update, 13 October 2024: in the end, Marina Ahmad was shoved aside (I think after being labelled “antisemitic”) in favour of one Liam Conlon, the 20-something son of Keir Starmer’s collaborator, former civil servant and would-be queen bee, Sue Gray, who held the position of Chief of Staff at 10, Downing Street from July 2024 until (it seems) her interference and politicking made Starmer demote her and chuck her out of the first circle of power in October 2024. Conlon won the new Beckenham and Penge seat with 49.3% of the vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_and_Penge_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s].

Mint julep

A word about a favourite drink, though one not had by me for some 20 years.

I must descant a little upon the mint julep, as it is… one of the most delightful and insinuating potations that was ever invented, and may be drunk with satisfaction when the thermometer is as low as 70 degrees.

There are many varieties, such as those composed of claret, Madeira, &c., but the ingredients of the real Mint Julep are as follows. I learned how to make them and succeeded pretty well. Put into a tumbler about a dozen sprigs of the tender shoots of mint, upon them put a spoonful of white sugar, and equal proportions of peach and common brandy, so as to fill it up one-third, or perhaps a little less.

Then take rasped or pounded ice, and fill up the tumbler. Epicures rub the lip of the tumbler with a piece of fresh pineapple, and the tumbler itself is very often incrusted outside with stalactites of ice.

As the ice melts, you drink.

I once overheard two ladies talking in the room next to me, and one of them said, “Well, if I have a weakness for any one thing, it is for a mint julep!”–a very amiable weakness, and proving her good sense and good taste. They are, in fact, like the American ladies–irresistible!

[Captain Marryatt— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Marryat].

The typical mint julep of today, however, uses quality Bourbon more often than peach brandy and cognac.

Dickens also enjoyed the odd mint julep: https://www.foodhistory.com/foodnotes/leftovers/bev/julep/01/.

Reminds me of happy times in Charleston, South Carolina, which I visited a few times in 2001 and 2002.
