The UK could have had that, or better.

Only the continued flow of arms, ammunition, money, food, medical supplies, and signals intelligence to the KIev regime keeps this conflict going. Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl—

Anyone who chooses a cat based on those criteria is probably the wrong person to have one. Also, “too old” at 15 weeks? Ridiculous.

Strange dream

Like Churchill, I have the habit of having an afternoon nap when possible. Today that came with an odd dream. I was running some political organization, and there was not only some (unidentified) journalist there, but also Nigel Farage.

Upstaging the journalist, Farage had made a grandiloquent offer, that is that he would pay me a million pounds to interview me for some TV show or podcast.

The interview was to take place at an ordinary table on the (maybe) third floor of a building. Just a dull, carpeted space, with a few people (including that journalist) around. Someone else was accompanying Farage.

Farage was about to start when, not quite trusting him, I remarked (in the dream, “urbanely”…) that I was sure that, as a man of business, he would not mind if I asked for the cheque upfront. He started to expostulate evasively. I asked what value of cheque he was willing to give. The answer, after some “umming and arring”, was…£22!

I became angry, dragging Farage from his seat and across the grey-carpeted floor to the window, with him struggling and trying to escape.

As I approached the windows, Farage in my grasp (though struggling to break free), I shouted at him that I had known that he could not be trusted, and that not only should he be chucked out of a window but that I was going to do it!

I then woke up.

Well, that was what I was doing this afternoon…

From where did that come?

In Diane Abbott’s case, the motivation is simple— she just hates white British people, despite having been given a very easy ride all her life.

She is also an idiot…

That idiot might easily have become Home Secretary.

When you look at the —superficially well-educated— political cretins who form the System political establishment, you see how it is that this country is sinking into the mire.

Well-intentioned if stupid members of the public donate money to Care4Calais etc, but I wonder(quite apart from the evil of importing hostile untermenschen into the UK) how much goes to “grifters” such as Clare Moseley, who also had an affair with a North African. In fact, the only reason she did not get knocked up by the said migrant-invader is because she was too old to get pregnant. See https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12085287/Founder-Care4Calais-steps-threatened-drag-volunteer-f-g-hair.html.

As a barrister (until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, though I did not practise law anyway after 2008), I saw, even in the early 1990s, the “rotten borough” that is asylum law, and immigration law in general.

Perhaps so, and indeed that dissident third would shrink further if the people asked knew that the invaders are not detained, can come and go freely, get free food and medical (etc) as well as shelter, and even pocket money on top.

Having said that, the barges are a distraction. Up to a thousand of the invaders cross the Channel daily. Only 500-600 can be accommodated on one barge. Also, cross-Channel migration is only a fraction of the whole (about a million a year, plus births to migrant/immigrant/other non-white women already here).

Not until London is cleansed. Read that however you like.

I wonder which pub that was. I lived, on and off, in Little Venice (Maida Vale), in those years. Just off Clifton Road..

I wonder how that army would stack up against either the Russian one or that of the Kiev regime?

Having said that, armies (especially large ones) vary much within themselves in their levels of effectiveness. Some regiments, corps, or other units are far above others.

Brutal. No wonder the Kiev regime is finding it hard to recruit volunteers, or even mercenaries.

I would be very glad to see Gove “scrapped” (that’s putting it politely); one of the merely five tweets which resulted in my 2016 disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews calling themselves “UK Lawyers for Israel”) was that referring to Gove, entirely accurately, as a Jewish-lobby puppet and expenses cheat.

Truth is no defence, it seems, in such a case. Gove has always been in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist lobby, and as for his being an expenses cheat, the only reason he was not prosecuted in 2009 was that the rules on MP expenses were too-loosely drafted and executed. Parliament cannot even run its own affairs properly, yet purports to be able to run the country effectively.

Gove is, of course, also a drunk and a cocaine abuser, facts of which both I and the public were unaware in 2016.

Look at that photo: careerist Gove, the Jew Miliband, and mentally-unstable part-Palestinian atheist, “pansexual” and LibDem MP, Layla Moran [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_Moran#Personal_life], all pretending to applaud Greta Thunberg, the mentally-afflicted Swedish autistic, who has nothing to say that can help anyone or anything . Of course, that was years ago, and Greta Nut is of little interest to the public now (thankfully).

Truth doesn’t mind being questioned“? Very true, but tell that to the Jew-Zionist lobby re. the “holocaust” farrago…

I saw an assessment by some British ex-officer that, were the Russian forces to use nuclear weapons (I presume he means tactical ones) in Ukraine, US and UK forces would respond, directly, by wiping out the Russian forces in Ukraine in 2-3 days! Really? What if Putin decided to raze all major Ukrainian cities, especially Kiev, to the ground, using larger, strategic, nuclear missiles? Would US/UK forces still enter Ukraine (presumably only by air power)?

What if the Russians were to take the “Devil’s alternative” and decided to destroy London and a few key airfields, strategic telecoms centres, and ports? At that point, there is no British Army, navy, or air force to speak of, the UK Government would no longer exist, there would be social chaos in Britain, and it would be all but irrelevant that Russian cities and military facilities would also be eliminated.

If the above were to happen, we would be in world war, “Dr. Strangelove” territory, and the USA would be involved both as target and as nuclear attacker.

This is becoming truly dangerous for avoidance of a real nuclear war, both in Europe and beyond. Are the British ruling circles, for example, really willing to risk a nuclear attack on the UK itself just because they want to deny victory to the Russian forces in eastern Ukraine?

Madness.

The Razor’s Edge

I just wasted 2 hours watching the 1984 remake of the fine 1946 film, The Razor’s Edge, which was based on a novel by Somerset Maugham.

The remake expunged entirely the character of Somerset Maugham himself, who in the 1946 version was both the unseen narrator and also seen in several scenes throughout the film (Somerset Maugham was played by Herbert Marshall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marshall).

Several changes were made, I think not very successfully, in the 1984 version: the film starts at a kind of charity fete, rather than a country club by one of the Great Lakes. The main character, Larry Darrell (played by Bill Murray in the 1984 film, but —far better— by Tyrone Power in the 1946 one) is, in the 1984 version, a former ambulance orderly home from American involvement in WW1 (in the 1946 film, he is a former WW1 American pilot).

The 1984 film leaves out, entirely, the 1946 version’s final parts set on the Cote d’Azur, and resets those scenes in Paris.

The Himalayan scenes, where Larry Darrell seeks and finds enlightenment after consulting with an Indian holy man and “abbot” of an ashram, were much more powerful in the 1946 version; the 1984 film makes the ashram a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, and the scene in which Larry Darrell is enlightened on a mountain is just not at all convincing.

I have never read the novel, but I see now from Wikipedia that Darrell’s enlightenment in the book came after encounter with a Hindu spiritual master. The 1946 film leaves it vague as to the religion of the “abbot”, but the “abbey” is described as an ashram.

Even the drink which causes the character, Sophie, to fall back into alcohol abuse, is changed from Pertsovka (pepper-and-honey vodka, called —in the French way— “persovka”, in the film) to Zubrovka (bison-grass vodka). I can only assume that that that is because Zubrovka had become well-known, whereas few people in the USA had or have heard of Pertsovka.

Personally, I would give the 1946 version 8/10 as a film, but the 1984 version 2/10.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge_(1984_film); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge_(1946_film)

Incidentally, the 1984 film was both a critical and commercial flop, making back only half of its production budget, whereas the original 1946 version was nominated for four Academy Awards, and won one (Anne Baxter, playing Sophie); it also won two Golden Globes. The 1946 film was not a huge success commercially, but still made back 4-5 times its production cost.

Sometimes, remakes surpass earlier versions, but rarely. In this case, the 1946 version outdoes the 1984 remake in every way: storyline, acting, music, cinematography (despite the 38-year gap). The script in particular is very crisp in the 1946 film.

Lord Reith’s dictum, “Inform, Educate, Entertain” (in that order) remains valid. The BBC has cast it aside.

They see it all right, but they want it to happen, or at least the real and/or hidden ruling circles do.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

“...Coudenhove-Kalergi intended to influence Europe’s policies on immigration in order to create a “populace devoid of identity” which would then supposedly be ruled by a Jewish elite.

[Wikipedia].

The present Conservative Party thoroughly deserves to lose the 2024 General Election, but anyone who thinks that Labour-label, under a pack of Jewish-lobby puppets (Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc) is going to be even slightly better is sadly deluded.

As for Yvette Cooper herself, she was an outright fraudster during the main MP expenses scandal, along with her husband, Bilderberg attendee Ed Balls, and is totally in the pocket of the Israel lobby. She wants even more non-white immigrants (migrant invaders) to arrive. Dead eyes, dead voice, dead soul.

Were I in Putin’s shoes, I should first of all destroy Ukraine’s rail system, then its electrical-generation and distribution system (the Russians are now, very belatedly, doing that), then go all-out to eliminate Zelensky and his cabal, something that should have been done on day 1 of the war.

So far, most of Kiev has not been heavily attacked.

A pleasant tweet. The animal kingdom has more potential than most people realize.

If so, and/or if proven, WW3 gets even closer.

Biden got there first, and on his own!

Obviously, only a small section of Philadelphia will be like that, but it should not exist at all. I believe, from what I have read, that those “zombies” are users of the drug Fentanyl, but for me, looking at their degradation, the mystery is why they use it at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanyl.

I recall when I was first in the USA as an adult, in 1989, asking a Federal employee (later my first wife), as we drove through some unpleasant section of Harlem in New York City, why there were so many suspicious-looking, mainly black, individuals congregating on corners, pretty obviously dealing drugs, without being moved on by the police. The answer? Constitutional right of free assembly (First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

For me, the law (including constitutional law) is there to serve the people, “for the welfare of the people is the supreme law” [Cicero]: salus populi lex suprema esto. If the law does not do that, it must be changed, however old and venerable it is.

I only heard of Charlotte Proudman recently. What a very strange woman, and I published recently on the blog one or two of her tweets.

What puzzles me is why the new Chief of the Bar Council, one Nick Vineall KC, has endorsed what seems to be a “woke” agenda. I have to say that he himself looks rather odd: https://www.counselmagazine.co.uk/articles/chair-of-the-bar-2023-nick-vineall-kc.

Vineall has, I read on Twitter, attacked some tweets or other comments which have been critical of Charlotte Proudman.

Well, there it is. I do not regret that I decided to cease practice at the Bar in 2008 (though my wrongful and unlawful disbarment, at the instigation of a pack of Jews, did not happen until 2016).

The Bar of England and Wales, looking at it overall, is now little better than a dustbin, like much of England itself.

Another secular pseudo-saint…

It was alleged that a possibly corrupt local councillor, a Nigerian woman, was (and is) partly to blame (see the above-linked blog post).

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/15/london-drummond-street-euston-little-india-south-asian-restaurants

Drummond Street, a south Asian hub, is under threat from HS2 works at Euston station in London but now moves are afoot to revive the area.

I used to eat there occasionally in the 1980s, along with two now-deceased people: Ig Avsey, lecturer in Russian and noted translator of Dostoyevsky, and Guy Churchill, retired academic and one-time SAS soldier (mainly in Malaya in the 1950s).

I think that I have blogged about the pair before: Ig a good friend and one-time teacher of mine (at the nearby language school, part of the University of Westminster, which I attended p/t in the 1980s), and Guy Churchill, a mixture of resigned though amused cynicism and English eccentricity.

Guy surprised me (and Ig, I think, with whom he was more friendly) by suddenly getting separated and/or divorced at (?) maybe 70 (he looked older), while Ig surprised me even more by later getting married, a second marriage, to a young Russian woman he had met at, I think, a bus stop in Riga. My wife and I attended the wedding reception in 2002, where the bride, 20-something, looked out of place among the guests, 40-something and older (many 50+ or 60+).

I was already acquainted with a few of the other guests, including Gerald Brooke, who was exchanged in 1969 for the Krogers (Cohens), long-term Soviet KGB “illegals” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Cohen_(spy)]

Brooke had spent 4 years in Soviet custody; in the Lubyanka, and then at Vladimir prison, about 100 miles east of Moscow.

Both Ig and Guy were rather eccentric. Ig’s main room was full of huge railway clocks, while Guy’s fridge (in the old person’s apartment in Vauxhall Bridge Road he took on after his separation/divorce c.1989) contained only a 6-pack of lager beer. Guy also had another odd habit, one I have never seen anyone else display— he would break off the filter tips from cigarettes before smoking them.

Strange to think back on times past, though it is probably a bad habit when one does it as much as I do (and have always done). Saturn in Scorpio…

As for Drummond Street, there is a similar street in Manhattan, E. 6th St. All Indian restaurants, or was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_Row]. I visited that street too, once only, around 1990 or so.

[Strange synchronicity: after I wrote the above, including the sentence about the Krogers, I turned on Talking Pictures TV, and they were showing Ring of Spies, a 1963 British film (released 1964) about the Krogers and the Portland spy case (1953-1961). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Spies.

Not a bad film in a low-key way, and it keeps pretty much to the known facts of the case.

Also interesting from a social history point of view are the bits of London shown, that now look very different compared to how they were in 1963. Examples include the area of the Tolworth Tower near Surbiton, outer London (the building is still under construction in a scene from the film), and the 1.5-acre public roof garden of the old Derry & Toms department store in Kensington, which later became a nightclub, and later still a restaurant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolworth#Tolworth_Tower; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry_%26_Toms; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Roof_Gardens].

Good God! Terrible. I recently saw again one of Monty Don’s fine garden shows, which covered some gardens in and around Athens.

Strange to see various talking heads on msm terribly pleased at the terroristic attack on te Crimean Bridge, an attack which left a young girl injured and orphaned, her parents having been killed. I suppose that the talking heads would not be so happy were a bridge in, say the Bristol Channel or Humber Estuary to be blown up.

Good grief. Looks like they need a sergeant-major…

I agree with tweeter no.2. As to tweet no. 1, that is quite a force (if it exists)— 100,000 men, and 900 tanks (about 3x the number of tanks Rommel had, at max strength, in North Africa in 1942).

Diary Blog, 16 July 2023, including thoughts about Neil Oliver, Andrew Bridgen , and a hostile GP

Morning music

Neil Oliver

I noticed that a Twitter lynch-mob has been attacking dissident broadcaster Neil Oliver over the past day or two after he had a dialogue with a doctor who disagreed with him on one or two issues. The Twitter mob have been trashing Oliver not only about the medical questions which were the subject of the show (on, apparently, GB News) but also Oliver’s whole past history, his TV shows on archaeology, his views in general, the way he looks, speaks etc.

Many of the Twitter mob claimed (and at time of writing, are still claiming) that the doctor in question completely defeated Oliver. Also, that Oliver (and MP Andrew Bridgen) had no right to speak because said doctor is a doctor, and so of course (?) knew more than they do.

Well, is that last so? I did not watch the discussion (in fact I have never seen GB News and am unsure whether my TV can even receive its broadcasts) but the said doctor is, as I understand it, an ordinary GP, not a specialist in vaccines or, indeed, viruses.

What interests me is how there is this superficially huge number of persons on Twitter (though probably not even a tenth of 1% of the general population) who are willing to join in with others of their sort to create a Twitterstorm which, in terms of real effects in the real world, makes not a ripple in society or the body politic.

The sheer hatred of their vituperative tweets is incredible. These are, more or less, the “anti-racists”, and/or those who mostly believe every last (and latest, and unexamined) detail of the Jew-Zionist so-called “holocaust” farrago, and who “support” (by having little Ukrainian flags on their Twitter profile) “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev). Most probably support such as the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, no doubt echo “refugees welcome” slogans (and so what if most of the migrant invaders are in reality not “refugees”), and prefer not to think of the impact of the invading hordes on British health services, housing, social cohesion, crime and, down the line, pay and conditions of employment. Oh, no, that’s for “the Government” to worry about.

I would be prepared to bet that pretty much the same bloc of Twitter posters support the “trans” nonsense, are “anti-Tory” (while —most of them— somehow believing that Labour-label under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will be far better), and that almost all of them will identify with Remain/Rejoin and, of course, “FBPE”.

The Twit-mob lynch-mob of today is a contemporary version of the Stalinist or Orwellian “daily hate”. Examples seen today on Twitter:

Work in a charity bookshop and it’s very noticeable that we can’t give Neil Oliver history books away. They used to be steady sellers. Same for Starkey and Johnson. History book buyers avoiding like the plague and GBNews viewers can’t read.

If there was ever going to be a Scottish UnaBomber it would be Neil Oliver.

Neil Oliver was always a biased clown, even on his “history” programs – now he’s just plain lost his mind.

“No need to present evidence to dismiss the crazy claims of Neil Oliver and fellow loonies.”

There are hundreds of tweets like that, all from people who think that they know things, and they think that they “know” purely because they believe, by default, various System and msm sources.

They cannot bear even seeing a dissident opinion.

Opinion polls in the UK seem to be showing that censorship, “no-platforming”, “cancelling” etc are becoming more popular, especially among the young.

As far as I am concerned, if people are becoming more and more like easily-corralled sheep, then such people are not worth having in our society, and read that how you like.

Is that true, or just jingoistic hot air? I have no idea.

I am unsure at present whether there are being concentrated Russian forces in Belarus with the aim of launching an offensive south, toward Kiev, or whether those forces are there to keep Kiev-regime forces tied down on or near the Ukraine-Belarus border, so as to prevent the deployment of the Kiev-regime forces to the southeast regions, notably Donetsk and Lugansk, where most of the active combat is happening.

Russia is obviously not short of trucks, which is interesting.

Another Kiev-regime press-gang. They have few volunteers now, and are running out of cannon-fodder.

Britain should be politely distant with China, friendly with Russia, and hostile only to (((you know who))) and other untermenschen…

There is no “after this conflict“. Either Russia effectively “wins” the conflict (whether by negotiation or in the field), or the whole thing turns into a general Eastern European and Central European war between Russia and NATO, which might or might not go nuclear.

Whatever or whichever, there will be few more UK troops in Ukraine. In any case, the British Army is almost non-existent now in terms of major field presence. Take away the office bods, clerks, rear-echelon elements, and the whole brass-hat staff officer element (etc, meaning all non-combatant units), and I doubt that the UK could field, overseas, more than about 20,000 active troops, at most.

Who cares what Ben Wallace says, anyway? His military service consisted of 7 years in the Scots Guards (1991-1998), during which he attained the modest rank of captain. His subsequent pronouncements have been mostly idiotic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician).

Incidentally, we need not take his decision to stand down as MP at the next general election (presumably in 2024) as having been prompted by anything based on principle.

Wallace’s Commons seat, Wyre and Preston North, is set to be abolished via boundary changes, so were Wallace to wish to stay in the Commons, he would have to find another seat quite soon, almost impossible in view of the expected Conservative Party mass wipeout at the (2024?) general election.

I suppose that Wallace will now be looking for some well-paid business sinecure, combined with a nice £350-taxfree-per-day House of Lords peerage in Sunak’s resignation honours list.

That’s 282 mph…

The Zelensky cabal counting their chickens before they are hatched.

No reaction so far from the usual Western “human rights” parasites about the plan to expel 800,000 Russians from their homes in Crimea, something akin to the deportations carried out by Stalin or (to a far lesser extent) Hitler.

In fact, the Kiev regime is engaged in “pie-in-the-sky” politics. Putin and the Russian Government (and people) will never allow the Kiev regime to annex Crimea again. If there were any real danger of that, the Russian forces would use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield and, if that were not enough to stop any annexation, a strategic nuclear missile or two on Kiev itself. In that event, “goodbye Zelensky” or at least his corrupt and brutal government.

A Spy Among Friends

Watched about 10 mins of the new TV spy drama, A Spy Among Friends. Had I known that it was about Philby, I should probably not have bothered. I do not have a lot of time for the so-called “master spy” whose reputation was and still is the most inflated since Mata Hari. No need to go into all that now, though.

I am rather impatient with films and TV dramas. If they bore or irritate me in the first 10-15 mins, I rarely watch on. In this case, there were invented scenes, which may have been inevitable, but some of them lacked any credibility. For example, there was a West Indian involved in the first few minutes, highly unlikely in 1963. Also, the show pushed, in those opening minutes, the buttons of all the known cliches about Philby— cricket, booze, womanizing etc.

It is true that Philby, had he become Chief of SIS, would have been a “master spy” or “legendary agent” (“legendary” in more ways than one). Not because (or primarily because) he would have been able to give the KGB secrets at all levels, but mainly because he would have been in a position to cripple SIS strategically, structurally; even more important, he would also have been in a position to deliberately mis-advise the Prime Minister and other ministers, and to point them in the wrong direction strategically.

It never happened. Philby was found by General Kalugin to be living in a permanently intoxicated state in his apartment in Gorky Street (now once again Tverskaya Street). Kalugin, and Philby’s last wife, Rufina, sobered him up somewhat, and Kalugin gave him mentoring work to do.

I myself was slightly acquainted in the early 1990s with a former KGB officer (turned businessman) called “Ed” (Edvard, from the Baltic regions or pribaltika), who told me at lunch in Hall at Lincoln’s Inn in 1994 (I think) that he had once heard a lecture by Philby at the Lubyanka. That lecture must have been late 1970s, or maybe early 1980s.

Though Philby claimed publicly in January 1988 that he did not regret his decisions and that he missed nothing about England except some friends, Colman’s mustard and Lea & PerrinsWorcestershire sauce,[84] his wife Rufina Ivanovna Pukhova later described Philby as “disappointed in many ways” by what he found in Moscow. “He saw people suffering too much,” but he consoled himself by arguing that “the ideals were right but the way they were carried out was wrong. The fault lay with the people in charge.”[85] Pukhova said, “he was struck by disappointment, brought to tears. He said, ‘Why do old people live so badly here? After all, they won the war.'”[86] Philby drank heavily and suffered from loneliness and depression; according to Rufina, he had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists some time in the 1960s.”

[Wikipedia]

Assuming that the above is accurate, Philby’s only very superficial understanding of politics, geopolitics, history, and economics is almost too obvious.

Even were A Spy Among Friends better than my first impressions, I would probably not bother with it, because at root, Philby just does not much interest me.

I was just looking at tweets mentioning me, going back years. Good to see that many of those who attacked me on Twitter for years are now missing, presumed dead. That is, missing from Twitter, with timelines either ended some time ago, or just posting automated follow/unfollow tweets. I know that several are no longer on this Earth.

Could it be because many MPs are not too different from Osborne in being soulless? As to the general public, I do not think that Osborne (a part-Jew whose brother and father are both sexually deviant) ever was popular with most British people when he was Chancellor.

Don’t forget those who should be deported to Israel.

It is now clear that the “British” Government (which contains few real Brits) is working, and quite deliberately, against the interests of the British people.

That will probably trigger a frenzied effort to destabilize Russia, an effort mounted by NWO/ZOG.

At this point it becomes a race as to what happens first, the collapse of the entire post-1945 Western order, or a Third World War…

For a brief moment, I thought that the girl in the photo was his (alleged) girlfriend. (only my little joke).

Ah, Jeremy Vine, the “Covid” “vaccine” partisan and sometime pro-police-state drone (during the “Covid” craziness), who is also pro-EU, pro-mass immigration, and a fanatical pro-cycling and anti-car troublemaker.

Still, I shall be sorry to see him go from (was BBC, now Channel 5) Eggheads (if reports are accurate). He presents that rather well.

Makes a million a year. Not bad for someone who, after an expensive private education, left Durham University with only a 2:2 in English.

I once had a girlfriend who opined that Durham University was where people study if they are from wealthy families but cannot get into Oxford or Cambridge. That was in relation to a barrister who was a friend of a couple she knew, someone with a very unusual name— something like “Mauleverer”.

In fact, I met said barrister when we attended a dinner party (not my favourite activity) in Blackheath in, I think, 1987 or thereabouts, at which that barrister was also a guest. I was a belated Bar School student at the time (though about 31). The barrister in question must have been 40-something, but in my opinion looked 50+.

The hostess was a charming blonde lady of Polish origins (but I think born in the UK), whose familiar name I forget and was something like Dushka (but not that). Her husband was a friendly chap who seemed amused by that barrister’s seemingly dog-like devotion to the hostess.

If truth be known, the barrister in question struck me as a bit of a nitwit, and I was told that the hostess later said to my girlfriend that I had given more of an impression of being a senior barrister than the said real senior barrister, despite my being ten years younger and a mere Bar student.

Well, perhaps my view was wrong, or at least superficial, because I believe that I read that the barrister in question was then or not long afterwards a silk (QC, now of course KC) and later became a commercial arbitrator and judge (I think in Hong Kong), as well as a trustee of one or two well-known institutions. So maybe he was not a nitwit, at least not entirely. Or maybe our social system rewards people from privileged backgrounds who make the right noises. Take your choice.

Tweeter “Mido” needs to know that, without the almost endless arms, ammunition, money, medical supplies, and other aid (eg food) being channeled to the Kiev regime from the West, the war would stop in a matter of weeks, perhaps even days, and what is left of the Ukrainian state and society would simply cease to function, also in weeks or days. Even state benefits and pensions in Ukraine are now being underwritten by the NWO/ZOG states.

As for troops, the Kiev regime is already pressing into service all sorts of people hitherto exempt. Kiev is running out of cannon-fodder.

Just imagine— were Biden to drop dead, that would be the new U.S. President…

Never assume that progress, or civilization, or culture, cannot just stop, or be destroyed, or that society cannot fall into decadence, backwardness, and evil. In the UK, a gradual slide is happening right now, all around us, but most people are still blind to it.

The rest of the Civil Service did not “put out” for Osborne…

For younger or non-Brit people who do not get the above tweet:

Bad blood…

“He is the eldest of four boys. His father is Sir Peter Osborne, 17th Baronet, co-founder of the firm of fabric and wallpaper designers Osborne & Little. George Osborne is to inherit the baronetcy; he would thus become Sir George Osborne, 18th Baronet.[7] His mother is Felicity Alexandra Loxton-Peacock, the daughter of Hungarian-born Jewish[8][9] artist Clarisse Loxton-Peacock (née Fehér).[4][10]

[Wikipedia]

In May 2018, The Daily Telegraph reported that Osborne and his siblings had discovered “with delight” that their maternal grandmother Clarisse Loxton-Peacock (a Hungarian émigrée) was Jewish, and therefore that in Jewish law they are Jewish too.”

[Wikipedia]

Of course, we go by modern biological science, not 3,000-year-old ideas from a backward tribe, so for us Osborne is merely part-Jew.

Still, isn’t it a strange co-incidence? Or series of “co-incidences”: David Cameron-Levita— part-Jew; George Osborne— part-Jew; Theresa May, part-Jewish too; “Boris” Johnson also part-Jew…

You only have to look at the newspapers to see that that is so. The national ones do not carry the whole story. You see the picture better in the local newspapers (whether print or online). Even quite violent criminals with long and bad records are getting, quite often, suspended sentences, or even such leniency as conditional discharges.

As for thefts, unless the value involved is prodigious, a non-custodial sentence is the norm. Indeed, even where the record is very long and there are aggravating factors, e.g. having committed a “minor” theft (which can still be into the hundreds of pounds) during the currency of a suspended sentence, the time given is usually something like 1 or 2 months, meaning that the convict will be released in, quite likely, a couple of weeks (half of the headline sentence, minus any time spent in custody, but also administrative early release in many cases).

How long is a “long” record? In many cases, not even dozens but even hundreds of convictions, if relatively minor. For example, a shoplifting offence where the value is less than £200 carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in prison, in theory, but a more typical result is a penalty notice and fine of £80 rather than a trial, if the matter is admitted.

In fact, most smallish thefts of that sort never get to court, or even to the police (who now usually only attend stores if there has been a struggle of some sort). It is often left to the store staff to sort out (eg by expelling and banning the perpetrator). That’s when the perpetrator is caught at all.

See also: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/theft-general/.

If you look at local newspapers, you often see that, before a minor offender such as a shoplifter is imprisoned, the defendant will usually have been caught and convicted dozens and perhaps caught (and/or seen) by shop staff hundreds of times, and even then the sentence of imprisonment might be measured in weeks, maybe 10 weeks or similar, meaning out in about a month.

Not that I am a “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but it has become a bit of a joke.

The same is even true of offences involving violence, not uncommonly.

I noticed in the newspapers recently a trial of a gang involved in a series of high-value ATM ram-raids across the South of England. The amount taken was in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the damage done to shops and stolen cars (Range-Rovers etc) was even greater. Four or five were convicted at Crown Court. The leader got, I think, over 6 years, but will be released in 3 years; another pair got 3 years (so out in 18 months), and one got a non-custodial sentence.

Of course, say something online about, say, the Jewish lobby, and the police and CPS take much more interest (as the country folds…).

At the same time as the above-discussed cases, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) got 2.5 years (so will spend over a year in prison) for being rude about Jews etc on his Internet podcasts! The whole system is now mad. There was another recent case where someone got something like 6 years or more for supposedly having belonged to a banned organization, and also for having a copy (either in print or downloaded from the Internet) of the 1970s manual, The Anarchist’s Cookbook, which is now prohibited in the UK. Just mad.

The egregious Charlotte Proudman thinks that she has “that many” books that a few have to go on the floor. How odd. Has she never heard of bookcases? In fact, a competent workman could put up a few shelves for a trifling sum (trifling if she is as successful at the Bar as she proclaims, anyway).

A lower-cost option would be wooden shelves and a few clean bricks for every shelf. I once, very long ago, had home-made bookshelves like that. Later, I had a library (built in Victorian times), and 2,000 books.

Once again, a naive, no-doubt “bien-pensant” and Guardian-reading (probably quite comfortably-off and 60+) supporter of “Jack Monroe”, one “Margaret kennedy”, believes more or less what she wants to believe, i.e. that “Jack Monroe” sued Lee Anderson MP, even won the case, and is now suing him again.

In fact, of course, “Jack Monroe” never sued Lee Anderson, quite possibly never even intended to do so, but used the empty threat to garner helpful publicity in the msm and on Twitter etc, followed by what seems to have been a fraudulent crowdfunder, the proceeds of which “Jack Monroe” has quite plainly kept and/or spent on whatever she wants for herself. Neither is she now suing him. It’s all a scam (again), people…

That first tweet, though, is from February 2023, so maybe “Margaret”, like many others, has seen the light. As of today, “only” 396 utter mugs are each sending “Jack” between £3.50 and £44 a month, well down from the ~850 of a year ago.

Part-Jew talking head Paul Mason has apparently thrown away his absurd pseudo-socialist or anarcho-syndicalist “beliefs”, and simply become another NWO/ZOG drone. He now champions the finance-capitalist system, the banking system, and even the contrived war in Ukraine. Why he does so is uncertain. I think that maybe he sees himself as a Starmer-Labour MP, and then perhaps, not-far-down-the-line, as Chancellor, and maybe even PM. Why not? I mean, look at the deadheads of the past decade. I would not rule it out.

Look at the tweet below:

I agree, to the extent that this incompetent government has run out of road. Starmer-Labour is “popular” by default, because the misnamed “Conservatives” have given up. As for the electorate— desperate, and so clutching at straws; and if there was ever a “man of straw”, politically, it is Starmer.

I was watching an episode of Gordon Ramsay— Kitchen Nightmares USA earlier. He visits failing restaurants and, inter alia, puts them straight re. their often appalling food. Amusing. I think, though, that the “recipes” of “Jack Monroe” might just test even Gordon Ramsay to the limit.

I don’t think there is any way in the world for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians. I think Europe is in serious trouble right now. In Germany, Italy, France. You see these riots. These countries have internal problems. There is no desire to send people to die in Ukraine. And the Ukrainians have no one left. Ukrainians are forcibly recruiting people to fill the ranks of their armies. Now the military is trying its best to get out of Ukraine so as not to get to the front. The Russians are apparently killing Ukrainians in 7 to 1 ratio. My son fought there and told me about the artillery. He had skirmishes with the Russians mostly at night, but he said that most of the fights were artillery during the day, and that the Russians now outnumber the NATO forces in artillery 10 to 1 . They kill at a terrifying rate.”

I happened to see the two ridiculous tweets below:

So the often-heavily-criticized Jolyon Maugham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham], a part-Jew barrister and “activist”, here supporting egregious and self-publicizing Jewish solicitor Mark Lewis, is applauded by one Charlotte Proudman, apparently a mainly academic lawyer and barrister who has attended or researched at no less than five universities in the UK and USA. I do not think that I had heard of her before today.

Ms. Proudman should read my blog posts, written several years ago about Lewis, before expressing an opinion:

So far from having been “grossly unfair“, as Ms. Proudman opines (having apparently read only a brief and one-sided scribble on the Legal Business online platform), the decision of the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority [SRA] regarding Lewis was impeccably fair and, in punishing Lewis very leniently, bent over backwards to be fair. Even his small fine was reduced from £7,500 to £2,500 because his Counsel said on his behalf that Lewis (the ludicrously so-called “top lawyer“, if you believe the tabloid Press) owned no real property, and in fact owned nothing at time of the hearing in 2018 but his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter.

After the SRA hearing, Lewis took off for Israel, where he now lives.

Looking at what Lewis wrote online to various people, including a Jewish teenager, I was surprised that Lewis was not struck off the roll of solicitors.

I wonder whether Ms. Proudman thinks that the decision of the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in my case was “grossly unfair“? I doubt it, even though I was both wrongfully, and actually unlawfully, disbarred (at the instigation of a pack of politically-motivated Jews) for having merely tweeted five (5) tweets, all of which were completely true and accurate: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

i.e. “trans” persons, not “women“…

Polls of that sort are of course unscientific, and anything on Twitter more so, because of the well-known biases. All the same, it is clear that the present Government has run out of road. It is hitting as many buttons as possible to shore up at least the core Conservative-leaning vote: pledging to retain the pension Triple Lock, pledging to at least reduce net immigration (how about stopping the inward flow, and starting an outward flow?) etc, but it seems hopeless.

Actions speak louder than words. Something that the “Conservative” Party ministers and Prime Ministers of the past 13+ years seem not to understand. Mass immigration has continued unabated under Sunak and, as Chancellor, he also paused, for one year, the Triple Lock.

Ha. I like that.

This can probably only end one way, across Europe.

“Jack Monroe” is surely a busted flush. Even the utter mugs donating to her on Patreon are waking up: 396 as of today, the first time that the number has dropped below 400 (only a few days ago it was still 414). Last year, there were nearly 900 of those mugs, partly by reason of (now effectively withdrawn) endorsements by TV talking heads and cuisine “experts” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner (and others).

Still, 396 mugs each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 monthly. As said previously, “not a bad little earner“, to use the Essex argot. Must still add up to at least a few thousand in cash. Monthly. For nothing.

If the fall continues, “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, may have to either go on the dole or whatever again (she made a whole media career out of having done that once, for a year or so, a decade or more ago). Or perhaps her affluent/wealthy family of buy-to-let parasites, who live in the same area as her, will help her out. I doubt whether she would be employable as anything. I read somewhere that she has only had a couple of jobs (for short periods, and long ago), one arranged via her father, answering the telephones at the Essex fire brigade, the other in a fish and chip shop.

Until today, I was unaware that Maugham no longer practises as a barrister in chambers (he specialized in tax law). Apparently, he left his last chambers in 2020.

Look at that twit.

I have seen tweets saying that Maugham is a “grifter”, living off donations to the Good Law Project. I have no idea whether that be so, and I also note that the GLP is supported by not only individual donations but also large grants from several well-known trust funds, not least that of the rather odd Rausing people (the descendants of the man who invented Tetrapak in Sweden); they also give or have given money to the mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” crowd.

How much Maugham pays himself (in effect) as Director of the GLP I have no idea (and the website of the GLP is silent on the subject).

I remember seeing Maugham on a “celebrity” episode of University Challenge. He stood out from the rest as combining a very-obviously huge opinion of himself with equally-huge ignorance of almost everything. Very funny.

I have no idea how well (or not) Jolyon Maugham was regarded as a tax barrister, before he launched “Woke Law Project”, but it gives pause for thought how many cases “GLP” has lost or not “won”.

As for Maugham being a KC, these days about 10% of all barristers hold letters patent as KC; it is not the accolade it once was. At one time, only a few barristers a year were made up to KC or QC; now dozens are.

I myself have not yet read this instantly-infamous email, though I think that I can guess at least a little of what is in it.

Incidentally, Osborne is yet another part-Jew.

So many people assume that because one enemy of the people has “Conservative” on the label, and another “Labour“, that they are not both part of the System together, or are somehow “opposed”. Only superficially.

Exactly. Give a poor man £1 and he will almost certainly spend it, and have to spend it. Give £1 to a rich man and he will either bank it or buy a hedging asset (eg over-valued real property) with it.

Will such places one day be resettled, or will they stand forever as ruined testament to the horrors of war? I wonder.

Where is that? Chatham House, I think.

Funny, really. The remnants of the British Army apparently gearing up for a war with Russia; meanwhile, the UK is being invaded (“legally” or “illegally”) by about a million migrant-invaders every year. Soon there will be nothing much (for whatever is left of the Army, Royal Navy, and RAF) to defend…

The Jew Zelensky knows that his time is limited in terms of bringing NATO directly into war with Russia. The Western populations are tiring of “Ukraine” as a trendy cause, and Western governments are tiring of sending almost endless amounts of money, arms, and ammunition to the Kiev regime, especially now that the much-trumpeted counter-offensive has almost if not actually stalled.

Zelensky and his corrupt and brutal cabal have only one real chance— to bring NATO into the war directly on the “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) side. That therefore is their aim. Method? Perhaps to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear plant, blame that on Russia, and hope that NATO then either declares war on Russia (unlikely) or starts to fight without declaration of war (more likely).

We could well be looking at either full-scale nuclear war not far down the line, or at least full-scale conventional war in Europe alone, which might or might not later trigger a strategic nuclear exchange involving the USA.

Americans should think carefully before firing on Russia, or helping Western European states to do so. The USA may have several times the nuclear-destructive power of Russia overall, but if the top 50 cities of the USA were hit and/or destroyed by nuclear missiles, that means the end of American power (and society) for a century or more.

Yes, the USA might destroy as many or more Russian cities, but the USA would still be a chaotic mess of destroyed cities, violent social disorder, and tens of millions —perhaps hundreds of millions— of dead and dying. Think very very carefully before bringing such consequences on yourselves and others.

Thought

You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.

Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.

You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.

But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

I have blogged for the past year or more that the best idea is for Russia to take the areas of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and for some Ukrainian successor to the Zelensky regime to control the larger area west of the Dnieper, and centred on Lvov. That would leave aside the Kiev area (which is on both sides of the Dnieper), Crimea, and the Black Sea littoral centred on Odessa.

Crimea was always Russian, with a mainly (now almost entirely) Russian population. Kiev should probably have some kind of special status, and Odessa either the same or a degree of autonomy, with Russia controlling the Black Sea coast to a depth of about 50-100 miles.

“Boris” Johnson and the Lebedev family

Saw a recording of a documentary (I think Channel 4) about “Boris”-idiot and the Lebedev father and son (with the old KGB, its successor-agencies, and British SIS and MI5, as spear-carriers).

The whole thing is rather odd, and there are certainly questions to be answered, but I cannot see Johnson as a Russian agent, not as such. For one thing, he is at root completely unideological; any such connection would be money-based or based upon getting help to push “Boris” upward (he was Foreign Secretary at the time he visited one of the Italian castles owned by the Lebedevs).

At the time, as now, the Lebedevs controlled msm outlets such as the Independent and Evening Standard.

My tentative conclusion at the end was that, possibly/probably what happened was that the younger Lebedev was offered a peerage for straight cash to “Boris”, paid somewhere offshore, protected by layers of (perhaps) offshore trusts and companies, such as Panamanian trusts and/or numbered bank accounts. A personal deal, nothing to do with the old KGB, or its SVR successor, though the details would no doubt be of interest to the latter, and to the Kremlin.

I concede that I have no evidence at all with which to back the above speculation. Pure speculation and hunch, backed only by the facts as known. Why did Johnson later nominate Lebedev junior for a peerage? Against Security Service and other advice, too.

Of course, at the time Johnson visited the Lebedevs in Italy, he was Foreign Secretary, not Prime Minister, so could not have nominated anyone for a peerage, but his unmerited likely elevation to No.10 was a good each-way bet at the time, and anyway no money need to have been paid unless and until.

If it happened, how much money? Name any figure north of £10M. £20M is good, £100M even better.

“Boris’s” pension.

Nuclear war visualization

I post that despite it having been posted first by a Kiev-regime supporter, because we should take even the possibility seriously, and stop stoking the fires of the war. Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl— stop sending arms and ammunition, and money, to the Kiev regime.

Those with real power and influence in the West must stop the slide to nuclear war, before it is too late.

Britain’s increasingly useless police

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-punched-head-shoplifter-slams-30382873.

A woman has reportedly told how she was “punched in the head” by a suspected shoplifter and slammed a police officer after seeing footage of him refusing to help.

The PCSO – who is seen parked up in marked police car – is told about a fight at a Co-Op store in Lancing, West Sussex, less than 300 yards away.

He responds: “But then I’ll have to deal with it.”

The officer tells the witness – who pulled up alongside his car to inform him of a fight sparked by people trying to stop shoplifters – he is not part of a response unit.

Following the attack she was left with bruising to her face and cuts to her hands.

She reportedly said that crime in the UK is getting worse with police “reluctant” to get involved and stop it.

[Daily Mirror]

The Guardian had a similar report, with a video of a man, rather than a woman, talking to the useless PCSO toy-policeman: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/03/sussex-pcso-filmed-refusing-to-intervene-in-alleged-assault

The police are wasting endless man-hours snooping on Twitter, and on blogs such as this, but seem to want to ignore the deterrence and detection of real crime, which is their core job.

Naturally, the police have always had a degree of discretion in how they perform their duties…

…but ignoring a fight in the public street, a fight following a shop theft just down the road, would seem to be taking a laid-back attitude rather too far…

In “peaceful” (?) Lancing, Sussex, too.

I once visited Lancing, about 28 years ago, in order to complete a SCUBA course at a dive centre which I believe no longer exists. Pity. It had a proper dive-instruction pool, i.e. not just a swimming pool.

That pool looked just like an ordinary, fairly big, indoor swimming pool, but was very different in that about a quarter of its length was only about 4 feet deep, but the rest of the pool was about 30 feet deep. The depth went straight down from 4 feet to 30 feet.

30 feet might not seem terribly deep (and ordinary recreational divers go down to depths of 70 feet) but when you are 30 feet down, and then the instructor deliberately pulls out your air supply and throws it over your shoulder (to test your ability to recover the regulator and start breathing again without panicking or striking out madly for the surface), it seems a long long way down.

I passed that test (and the course) but I admit that, for a split second, I had wanted to get to the surface no matter what. You have to overcome your own unreasoning fear, and overcome it in an instant.

Lancing, what little I saw of it from and to the little railway station (the course lasted two days, and I stayed at a B&B by the beach, close to the dive centre) seemed pretty quiet. As I say, though, that was about 28 years ago.

Is he wrong? I think not.

When he was first in the Commons, I thought that ex-officer (Captain) Mercer might be a breath of fresh air, and a more honest voice amid the freeloaders, frauds, and careerist drones. I was wrong. Mercer turned out to be every bit as dishonest as the other System political puppets, and even more greedy for money than most of them. A real deadhead, too.

Another £2.5M wasted on the pointless war in Ukraine.

This goes beyond “multiculturalism does not work“. Europe must now fight an existential war, a war for its future.

I am completely opposed to mass immigration and the cross-Channel migration-invasion, but that is just cruel and petty, and rather depressing.

Jenrick had an oddly-stellar if very brief career before he became an MP. A student at Cambridge, at Philadelphia, and at an expensive private law school (once a “crammer” institution, I think) in London, followed by qualification as solicitor at the rather late age of 26: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick.

Wikipedia says nothing about his parentage or family. It is fairly clear, though, that he must come from a background of considerable wealth.

After having qualified aged 26 as solicitor, in 2008, Jenrick worked for about 4 years in London and Moscow for two of the most prestigious American law firms: Skadden Arps, and Sullivan & Cromwell. He was then appointed a director of the Christie’s auction house. Quite something at the age of only ~30/31.

Jenrick, elected as MP in 2014, was already appointed PPS (to Esther McVey) in early 2015, only just over a year after becoming an MP. PPS to several other ministers followed, and then he became Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury in 2018 (aged 36) and was appointed a Cabinet minister the following year, aged only 37.

Despite that superficially stellar start to his career(s), I have never seen anything very intelligent said or done by Jenrick, and he is a total puppet of the Jewish lobby:

On 26 July 2019, he said, “I want tackling antisemitism and ensuring that the Jewish community feels protected and respected to be one of my priorities as Secretary of State”.[17] In September 2019, he said, “I will use my position as Secretary of State to write to all universities and local authorities to insist that they adopt the IHRA definition at the earliest opportunity… and use it when considering matters such as disciplinary procedures. Failure to act in this regard is unacceptable.”

[Wikipedia].

In January 2020, Jenrick spoke at the Conservative Friends of Israel Parliamentary reception and told the audience that he would “look forward to the day” when Britain’s embassy in Israel will be “moved to Jerusalem”.”

[Wikipedia]

In June 2020, Jenrick faced questions over his links to a Conservative donor after it emerged that he met an Israeli businessman, Idan Ofer, with an interest in the future of a multibillion-pound project that Jenrick, then exchequer secretary to the Treasury, was overseeing. Ofer stated that the £10,000 donation via his Quantum Pacific business was made at the behest of Conservative Friends of Israel, of which Jenrick was a member.[38] Jenrick later said that Ofer was a family friend.”

On 14 January 2020, Jenrick approved a £1 billion luxury housing development of 1,500 homes on Westferry Road, Isle of Dogs, proposed by Richard Desmond, a Conservative Party donor and owner of Northern & Shell. A Government planning inspector had advised against permitting the scheme, as it would not deliver enough affordable housing and as the height of the tower would be detrimental to the character of the area.[46] When Jenrick approved the scheme on 14 January, he knew that an approval by that date would enable Desmond to avoid having to pay a council-imposed infrastructure levy of between £30 and £50 million, which could have been used for funding schools and health clinics.[47][48] Tower Hamlets London Borough Council then pursued a judicial review against Jenrick’s decision in the High Court, arguing that it had shown bias towards Desmond. It was also reported that Jenrick had helped Desmond to save an additional £106m by allowing affordable housing at 21%, instead of enforcing the local and London-wide planning policy requirement of 35%.[49][50] This could have resulted in a total discount (and subsequent loss of revenue to the Exchequer) of approximately £150 million.[50]

In May 2020, Jenrick did not contest the judicial review, conceding that his sign-off of the scheme was “unlawful by reason of apparent bias”. He also confirmed that his approval had deliberately been issued before the new CIL policy could be adopted. This meant that Jenrick was able to avoid disclosing correspondence relating to the application in open court. His planning permission was quashed by the High Court, which ordered that the matter was to be decided by a different minister.[51]

Jenrick maintained that although the decision had been “unlawful by reason of apparent bias”, there had been no “actual bias”.”

[Wikipedia]

Once again a Jewish connection, the developer, Richard Desmond [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Desmond] being Jewish.

In June 2020, Jenrick was described by Baroness Deech as breaching “the guidance on planning propriety” over his management of a planning application to build a national Holocaust memorial, which she described as controversial. The MHCLG, Jenrick’s department, took control of the approval process from Westminster Council days after he met the project’s main backers, including Gerald Ronson.”

[Wikipedia]

Again, the said Ronson is a Jew and, despite having a criminal conviction for fraud, very well-connected with government, being head (“Founding Chairman”) of the Jewish strongarm and snooping organization, the “Community Security Trust” [“CST”]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ronson; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Security_Trust. The CST receives tens of millions of pounds annually from the government, i.e. the British taxpayer.

Jenrick is a member of the Parliamentary Conservative Friends of Israel group.[68][69] In July 2019 he spoke of his visit to Auschwitz concentration camp; “It had a huge impact on me and in particular because my wife is the daughter of Holocaust survivors from modern day Poland and Ukraine.”[17] Jenrick has said his connection to the Jewish community forms “a very important and integral part of my life”.[17]

[Wikipedia]

Jenrick is married to Michal Berkner. She is nine years older than Jenrick[71] and is the child of Holocaust survivors.[72] She is an Israeli-born and US educated[73] corporate lawyer who practises mainly in London. The couple have three daughters, whom they are bringing up in the Jewish faith.[2][74][18]

He owns two £2m homes in London, one of which is a £2.5m townhouse less than a mile from the Houses of Parliament. He also owns Eye Manor, a Grade I listed building in Herefordshire which he purchased for £1.1 million in 2009.[75][76] His constituency of Newark is 150 miles (240 km) from his ‘family home’ in Herefordshire.[77] He rents a £2,000-a-month property in his Newark constituency,[25] which is paid for by the MPs’ second homes allowance.”[78]

[Wikipedia].

The leitmotiv of Jenrick’s political career has been a tangled skein of what at least appears to be corruption tied-in with Jewish interests.

His mean little action in re having ordered those murals painted over is odd, bearing in mind that Jewish interests and individual Jews have always been and still are in the forefront of encouragement of mass immigration into the UK (and Europe generally). I can only suppose that it was a public relations ploy that backfired.

Frenzied System scrambling to control the narrative of that story, because once the public see that there is a background conspiracy to delegitimize dissident individuals and parties, a whole new chapter of questioning “officially-approved” narratives begins, questioning of narratives such as “liberal democracy”, “a fair society”, the 20thC/21stC history of the UK, and indeed the contrived “holocaust” farrago.

Look not at the Schauspiel, but at what is behind it, and at those who are really pulling the strings.

Communism” here is just a label for a power-takeover. Many think of “Communism” in the sense of the Marxist-Leninist socialist/communist movements of the 20thC— red flags, Lenin, Trotsky, bas-reliefs of Marx, Engels and Lenin, Soviet power complete with displays of tanks etc.

“Soviet power” was, to some extent, and in the earliest phase almost entirely, hatched by secretive Western groups, mainly Jewish.

What is happening now is something different, but still with the theme of power-elites subjugating the populations of the world. “Lockdowns”, “15-minute cities”, removal of car ownership, removal of the freedom conferred by cash, everything to be online, monitored, controlled etc.

Not far down the line— microchip implants, and then control by AI robots and systems. All facilitated using sophisticated methods of psychological control, making the population collaborators in their own enslavement. This was tested out across the world during the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”.

At this point, anyone who is still sending money to “Jack Monroe” is either an utter, utter, mug or is mentally disturbed, or both.

The sad thing is that the —no doubt well-meaning— old fellow was used from the start, both by the System, then by his daughter etc. His “walk around his garden for the NHS” made a huge public impression, but the NHS was not really short of money— it was just misapplied. Inessential instant “Covid” hospitals, useless —and mostly inessential anyway— PPE supplies etc. Also, the whole “Covid” “panicdemic” ruined the economy in various ways, resulting in higher medical demand as people went untreated and unchecked, but less money available to deal with that.

No wonder that the Kiev regime has run out of volunteers, and is using press-gang methods to force Ukrainians unable to emigrate to enlist. Anyone fighting for the Kiev regime is now doomed, pretty much.

Very true. Worth reading.

The UK’s police are now largely useless. As blogged previously, I am not going to blog prior to trial about my current prosecution for blogging the truth, not in detail anyway, but I am more than irritated (“livid” might cover it) that the policeman (who shall remain anonymous for now) who at present is, it seems, effectively to be the only witness against me at any trial (the date of which is uncertain but, if held, will probably take place in the Autumn or Winter of this year) is also part of, or even possibly the head, of the very “neighbourhood policing team” which was totally useless in preventing the theft of a wheel from my car nearly 5 months ago, or in detecting the perpetrators (despite some evidence having been provided or available to the police).

Instead of doing their proper and rightful job, the police sneak around at the behest of the Zionist element, snooping on Twitter and socio-political blogs, and interfering with free speech.

The Rwanda policy was never going to work on the mass scale. The shambles of a political and judicial establishment just used it as an electoral football. Now, it may never happen at all.

Every day, hundreds of migrant-invaders cross the Channel. Hardly any are being deported, whether to Rwanda or anywhere else. Britain is changing, sliding, deteriorating, and being invaded, before our very eyes. Just look around you.

Indeed, the cross-Channel migration invasion is only a fraction of the full problem, which also involves other kinds of non-white entrant to the UK, and also births to those already here.

Britain has already changed out of all recognition in the past half-century. In another 50 years, there will be nothing worth saving.

Triple Lock

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12244533/Work-Pensions-Secretary-Mel-Stride-reassures-pensioners-triple-lock-stay.html

The state pension triple lock is here to stay – but people may eventually have to wait until the age of 70 to claim it, the Work and Pensions Secretary said yesterday.

In an unusual intervention, Mel Stride moved to reassure pensioners that a commitment to the triple lock will be included in the next Conservative manifesto.

But Mr Stride also suggested younger people may have to work for years longer in order to claim it.

Downing Street committed to honouring the triple lock this week, despite warnings from economists that stubborn inflation could result in a 7 per cent rise in the pension bill.

Mr Stride went further, saying the Conservatives were committed to the triple lock in the long term.”

[Daily Mail]

People over 60 are the Conservative Party mainstay, both in membership and electorate. Lose that bloc, and there will be no Conservative Party to speak of. Rishi Sunak dropped the Triple Lock a couple of years ago, for a year. He will not make that mistake again, not if he wants to stay posing as PM.

Speaking personally, though I myself am (since last year) of State-pensionable age, I am less affected either way, partly because I only get about half of the State Pension maximum (by reason of having spent many years overseas).

Still, that 70-year pension age possibility is absurd. It raises again, the probable need for some kind of Basic Income.

“Lockdowns”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12244133/NANA-AKUA-Im-no-lockdown-skeptic-effects-son-mean-wont-compliant-time.html

This morning I smiled as my happy, lively five-year-old son skipped into the school playground, babbling excitedly about presents for his approaching sixth birthday.

Not too long ago it was an altogether different story. From March 2020, the cumulative effect of three oppressive lockdowns over 12 months led to a transformation in my son that was painful to behold.

His attention span, enthusiasm for learning, even his burgeoning vocabulary — they all but collapsed under the isolation and loss of routine that characterised each lockdown

That’s why the declaration this week by the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock that Britain must be prepared for more of the same in future pandemics — but with wider, earlier and more stringent lockdowns — filled me with horror and fury in equal parts.

Horror because as a mother, I was a near helpless witness to the corrosive effects of these restrictions on my son, and anger because history has shown us all too viscerally that, deployed unwisely, lockdowns can be as fatal and damaging as the virus they are meant to suppress.

[Daily Mail]

Instead of little Matt Hancock being punished appropriately for his espousal of the “SAGE” committee rubbish (“lockdowns”, “social distancing”, the asinine “Rule of Six”, the facemask nonsense etc), the System has rewarded him with huge amounts of money via book deal(s), guesting on I’m a Celebrity etc. I should love it were he to be punished.

Hancock will no doubt be applauded by the sort of loonies who came out of the woodwork in 2020/21. They cannot wait for more of all that garbage, together with “15 minute cities” and the rest.

The denizens of the Westminster monkeyhouse fear only one thing, pretty much. Need I spell it out?

More of that wonderful “diversity” to be “celebrated”…

Paddington

I was just indulging my Google Earth streetview addiction (again). This time the Praed Street/Eastbourne Terrace/Bishop’s Bridge Road area of Paddington.

Had I just teleported to Praed Street, I should scarcely have recognized it after even 16 years (the last time I saw it, when I appeared at Central London County Court near Regent’s Park, and stayed at what was then the Edgware Road Hilton at the junction of Edgware Road and Praed Street).

When I lived in Little Venice, very intermittently, from 1976 through to about mid-1990s, Praed Street, especially between St. Mary’s Hospital and Edgware Road, was a rather neglected area. Now it bustles. New buildings, new shops.

The area to the west, by Paddington Station, also very different. The old Great Western Hotel, dusty and neglected, is now another Hilton. A few shops and cafes that I recognized, in the side streets.

Eastbourne Terrace now totally different, with some buildings gutted and awaiting rebuilding, others completely new. The one that used to house John Brown Engineering, which Gorbachev visited in, I think, late 1984, is now gone, as far as I can see. Other buildings are new.

I noticed all the new buildings around Bishop’s Bridge Road, though the one that used to house Red Star Parcels (the parcel arm of the old British Rail) is still there, though evidently refurbished. I used to know a very eccentric person who worked there, one Gaster, who had been sacked from his job at the Foreign Office in 1939 or 1940 and then interned on the Isle of Man as a dissident (for being against the war with the German Reich).

Gaster (I think possibly part-German, another possible reason for his WW2 internment) always reminded me of one of those bureaucrats or politicos in the Soviet sphere of influence, reduced to the ranks and made to work as a forester or parcel operative (as it might be). Wonder what happened to him? Long gone, I should think. ~44 years ago, and he must have been 60 or more then.

I see that the roundabout under the Westway, near to Little Venice, is still recognizable, though, and the lay-by (featured near the end of Withnail and I), is still there.

Idle thoughts…

I remember walking down Edgware Road about 40 years ago with a lady whose office was near Paddington Station. She suddenly let out an expletive, followed by “I’ve lost an ear-ring“. Said ear-ring was an emerald, and set in gold. I think quite old. I suggested that we retrace our steps, though not holding out much hope. We did walk back, eyes on pavements and roadway. We had nearly reached the Circle and District Line station opposite the rail terminal when she suddenly pounced like a bird on something in the gutter. Her emerald ear-ring.

In fact, perseverance like that does, sometimes, pay off. I recall one time when I was with my younger brother at Newbury Races. About 1973. I was maybe 17, he was perhaps 15. Things must have been slacker, or less nanny-state, then; I do not think that anyone ever stopped us from backing a horse.

Anyway, the race was run. My horse lost, and my brother’s also lost, but less badly, having come in second. Still, that was no good, and he threw down his bookmaker’s ticket, a colourful oblong card about five inches by two. We walked away to go back to the stands or paddock. Then there was an announcement— “Stewards’ Inquiry“… Five or ten minutes later, the winning horse had been disqualified, and my brother’s placed 1st. He had won, but had no ticket to prove it. He spent half an hour or more wandering amid thousands of discarded tickets, like a wading bird. Incredibly, he found his ticket amid that multitude, and collected his winnings.

The fruits of multiculturalism.

Surely most thinking people can see that the Ukrainian situation is not normal, not even a “normal” war? The transnational NWO/ZOG system is funnelling cash, as well as arms, ammunition etc to “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist Zelensky regime in Kiev). Why? There is a whole agenda behind this.
