Debt-laden utility giant Thames Water is in a desperate race to secure £1billion and  fend off its collapse, amid reports it might have to be taken over by the taxpayer.

The firm, which serves 15 million people and is Britain’s biggest water supplier, is a staggering £14 billion in debt and is reportedly on the ‘brink of collapse’. 

On Tuesday, the firm’s chief executive Sarah Bentley dramatically stepped down from her top job.

during her stint in charge, Thames Water has lurched from one disaster to the next – which saw the firm also being criticised for how much its top team are paid.

Mrs Bentley was reportedly paid £2million in 2022 – more than 10 times the salary of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who earns £164,951 a year. 

In May, the University of Kent-educated mother-of-five joined other water firm bosses in promising to give up her 2022-23 bonus amid fierce criticism of the sector.

I first visited Moscow in the early summer, I think May or June, of 1993. The country and even Moscow was just about functioning. On its knees. I was (nominally) “invited” (you had to be “invited” officially in Soviet days to be granted an individual visa, a practice still notionally followed in 1993) by the Academy of Sciences on Leninsky Prospekt. I stayed in the Hotel Ukraina on or by Kutuzovsky Prospekt.

Essex, again. Just like that other online “grifter” and fake, “Jack Monroe”.

So “Supertanskiii” was at Glastonbury, where tickets cost £340 minimum? Seems that ranting pointlessly on Twitter etc against this admittedly incompetent “Conservative” government, while begging for donations, is fairly lucrative, though she claims that she was “booked to perform” at some kind of fringe event at Glastonbury. As what, another one-trick pony?

So maybe she did not have to buy a ticket. I have no idea.

Of course, many, perhaps most, of the “antifascist”and other ranting fanatics on Twitter are not quite normal mentally.

No-one, I see, has suggested that that Glastonbury “mental health” incident might have been invented, inflated and/or exploited as a “grifting” opportunity (in the manner of “Jack Monroe”). Who knows?

My own visit to the Kremlin, in 1993, was less formal. I paid my (?)20 roubles (in the money of 1993) and bought tourist entry, together with entry to the Kremlin churches (some shown in that tweet), which were very interesting (I was the only visitor to the churches then, probably because it was early in the day, about 0900 hours, and I had been one of the first “tourists” into the Kremlin).

[Kremlin from the air]

I was the second tourist visitor into the Kremlin that sunny day in the early summer of 1993, and would have been first had a Russian family not got ahead of me as I slept in the sun, sitting on a wall by the not-yet-open ticket kiosk, and having already done an hour of hard swimming at the almost-empty huge open-air swimming pool “Moskva” in Kropotkinskaya (now replaced by a replica of the cathedral that was on the site prior to the 1930s).

[Swimming-pool “Moskva”, 1970s, near Metro-station Kropotkinskaya]

Looking today at the website below, I see that the little wooden ticket kiosk (with its typically Soviet inconvenient little ticket-window about 5 feet from ground-level) is now no more, replaced by a large ultra-modern ticketing hall, tickets also being available online (something of course not dreamt-of in 1993).

“Supertanskiii” is sort-of similar to the “Jack Monroe” “grift” but, unlike “Jack Monroe”, she does not even pretend to offer “recipes” looking like mixed-up dog food, or indeed to offer anything at all beyond a continual “f*** the Tories” Twitter rant. Incredibly, though, some mugs are actually willing to chuck donations at her for that.

When you see the sort of utter mugs that send money to “Jack Monroe” or “Supertanskiii”, you start to understand part of why this country is in such a mess, at least in places and in aspects. Too many mugs. This has nothing to do with the blacks, browns, Jews etc. These are all or 99.99% white British people who imagine themselves to be well-meaning or at least “progressive”. Not the same mugs who support “Boris”-idiot, far from it, but on the same sort of unthinking level.

The same sort of “mug-dom” is seen in those who imagine that replacing Indian money-juggler Sunak with Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is going to change everything for the better. Wake up.

Strange

As regular readers of the blog will know, yesterday afternoon I was at the Magistrates’ Court at Southampton for a while, at a case management hearing in relation to the prosecution of me instigated by the evil and malicious pack known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (any trial will not be until November or December 2023, or possibly even on a date in 2024).

Later, in mid-afternoon, I was driving out through the nearby suburbs of Southampton. I happened to pass a pharmacy or, as people used to say, a chemist’s shop, on a mini-roundabout: the Bassett Pharmacy.

The Bassett Pharmacy, which I recognized from having seen a picture in the newspapers a couple of years ago, was called the Sunak Pharmacy at one time, and was owned until 2014 by the mother of Rishi Sunak, the Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister.

The Bassett Pharmacy sits on the corner of the road, next to a dentist’s surgery; there are a couple of other shops, one called, amusingly, “Talons— hair and nails”. Round the corner, a scruffy small area with cars parked, then, around another, similar, corner, an Indian-Bangladeshi restaurant, a cafe, and several more shops.

What struck me was not that a prime minister might have come from such humble circumstances —that is not so unusual, thinking of Mrs. Thatcher, John Major and others— but that Sunak should have originated there (I think that his family lived in a house not far away) and yet now is almost suffused with great wealth by reason of his own finance-business activities and also marriage into one of India’s richest families. What a contrast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rishi_Sunak.

I wonder whether the money-juggler will still be Prime Minister this time next year. The opinion polls say no, but these things rarely work out as expected. I have no completely fixed view, despite the evident incompetence of the present government.

Why are the Essex Police (or other police) not actively investigating “Jack Monroe” and her fraudulent behaviour? Surely they cannot be spending all their time snooping on Twitter tweets and blog postings, or seizing “racist” teddy bears?

The transnational conspiracy in action. On some level, the ruling circles of the West are fomenting war with Russia, meaning West/Russia war. There is an occult (in both senses) aspect to this.

A very worthwhile charity.

Reminds me that a young lady barrister I once knew, in the 1990s, used to talk about chemicals in the UK water supply feminizing human consumers (she was looking at her boyfriend, the particular time that sticks in my mind).

Put her up against a wall.

I agree. It is bitter to have to do it, but it may have to be done.

On the other hand, a change of President in Washington, and who knows?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12223437/Family-did-runner-enjoying-215-lunch-Cornish-gastropub-settled-tab.html.

The family who were caught on CCTV ‘doing a runner’ after enjoying £215 slap-up Father’s Day lunch at a Cornish gastropub have settled their tab. 

The group of six allegedly ran up the bill at The Fisherman’s Arms, Newlyn, in Penzance, Cornwall on Sunday and walked off without paying after saying they were going for a cigarette.”

So-called “Travellers” (Irish “tinkers”). Quite typical behaviour. I once witnessed such an incident myself. I was in a cafe at Dover, near the port, and waiting to embark for France with my car. On entering the cafe, I saw that the main area was empty, but that a noisy group of Irish persons, aged from 40+ to small children, had been put in a side room. They were both eating and drinking (beer).

After about 20 minutes, they all came out into the main area, and while one or two talked to the two Italian (I think) staff, the rest went out into the street. The two inside seemed to be preparing to pay, but made up a story about how others were going to pay. One of the two, then the other, went “to fetch the others” but of course disappeared. The waiters ran out and took the number of one of the cars. They also called the police.

Well, there were two minor sequels to that incident. The first was the same day. On arrival in Calais or Boulogne (I forget which, and was a regular arrival at both, in those days), and on going back to my car on the ferry, I noticed the small crowd of foot passengers at a disembarkation point. One of them was a tall girl aged about 18-20, who was part of that “tinker” group. I noticed that she was now alone, and trying to “play grey”, i.e. blending in with the other foot passengers.

The other members of the “tinker” group were not there. Had they stayed in the UK? Had they gone to vehicles? Who knows?

The other sequel was that I stopped by the same cafe about 6 months later, and asked whether the police had done anything. Apparently not, though that may have been because the registration number taken was not a known one (probably false).

Statement

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I am being prosecuted on 5 counts of breach of the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s. 127, relating to five blog posts allegedly posted by me.

Political “crime”.

I have already stated that I shall not be blogging in detail about the case until it is concluded.

Today, I attended the magistrates’ court for a case management hearing. At that hearing, various directions were given. The only ones of interest to readers of the blog are that there will be another case management hearing later in the year (in October), and that a trial date has not as yet been fixed but possible dates are in the latter half of November 2023. If those dates prove ineffective, then it may be that the trial of this entirely pointless and malicious prosecution will not take place until December 2023, or even a later date, i.e. in 2024.

I shall blog in detail about the matter once the trial has been held (assuming that one is held).

Diary Blog, 21 June 2023, with some thoughts about “narcissism”, “Jack Monroe”, and a personal memory

Morning music

Battles past

“Jack Monroe”, “narcissism”, and narcissists

I had missed that. It seems that there is now a template for suing “Jack Monroe” in the County Court. I wonder whether many people will be doing that.

Still no explanation from BBC Question Time as to why “Jack Monroe” was invited onto the show not long ago, thus facilitating more of her fraudulent activities. She was exposed years ago as a continual liar, and increasingly, certainly since mid-2022, as an outright fraud.

I myself have been surprised, over the past year, as to how outrageous the “Jack Monroe “grift”/fraud is and has been.

Thinking about the “Jack Monroe” fraud and/or “grift” reminded me of a similarly untruthful character I encountered 30 years ago.

When I returned from the USA in 1993, and started to try to make a living at the Bar (based in exceptionally-poor chambers in London), I did both civil and criminal cases, though I was never much at home in the criminal courts.

At that time (maybe still today, I do not know), solicitors employed unqualified stray persons as “outdoor clerks”, who would attend court hearings on behalf of the instructing solicitors, and in support of Counsel appearing. They had no rights of audience but were more or less messengers and “spear-carriers”.

Such “outdoor clerks” were people most of whom had no legal training at all: out-of-work actors, retired people in need of a financial top-up, all sorts. The advantage in employing them, for solicitors, was the low cost. I seem to recall that a recently-retired lady I knew got £10 or so (maybe £40 or £50 in today’s money) to attend. Most of the hearings were brief, and even with the waiting around etc, the “outdoor clerk” was usually free by lunchtime if not before. Any more-serious hearings, including trials weightier than minor traffic matters, would usually be attended by an articled clerk (trainee solicitor) or a solicitor in person.

One fine day, I was sent to appear in the magistrates’ court somewhere, and was met at court by an outdoor clerk, a rather swarthy mustachioed person, maybe late thirties, who looked more like what the police might term a “villain” than any kind of quasi-legal representative. As soon as he had introduced himself, a furious man accosted him and said “I need a word with you!“, upon which the pair adjourned to a nearby room where I could see them arguing.

The outdoor clerk, one Mitch Baird, then re-emerged, explaining that the furious man was a solicitor with mental health problems. I accepted that explanation by default. I was thinking more about the case in hand, the first appearance of a defendant in an indictable case.

After that, I was instructed on other matters (civil as well as criminal) by the same firm of solicitors, headed by a Jew called “Maxwell”, so encountered Mitch Baird fairly frequently. I met his West Indian girlfriend, with whom he lived (when around). A pleasant woman. I also met her mother. Their house (belonging to the mother) was a large detached Victorian house in the Stamford Hill area of London better known for its population of Hasidic Jews. I even attended a kind of garden party there, well-attended by an eclectic mix, including at least one Metropolitan Police detective (I would never have guessed his occupation).

That all-day barbeque/garden party, which I helped Baird to set up, was also notable for the amount of booze consumed: Baird and I alone drank (I think) 12 (it may have been “only” 8, but even so…) bottles of Bulgarian red wine between us (it seems impossible to me now…), before, late in the evening, heading to Le Caribe, “London’s only silver-service Caribbean restaurant” (now long-closed), a mile or so away, for a couple of imported (Trinidadian) Carib beers at the bar, overlooking a scene of gold-festooned Yardie types dining nearby. Baird then drove me home to Little Venice and dropped me off there. God knows what his alcohol reading would have been, had he been stopped.

Well, suffice to say that the said Baird was not to be trusted. Reports and complaints gradually emerged. For example, he had, apparently, actually taken money in cash from the family of a young Trinidadian visitor for legal defence, when the latter was supposedly legally aided! I had appeared for the defendant, managed to get the charge dropped as well (possession of an offensive weapon), but was never paid (Baird had obviously not put in the requisite legal aid papers).

In a civil case involving defamation, Baird had (in my own chambers, after a conference), got the lay client to make out a cheque for £2,000 to Baird himself. I was myself totally unaware of those facts at the time.

When the lay client discovered that my written advice was that the case was unlikely to succeed, he complained to my clerk that he had been cheated by both the Jew solicitor, “Maxwell”, and by Baird (I was cleared by the client of dishonesty but described in his letter as having not understood what a good case he had! His letter had gone to the Law Society (the solicitors’ body), I think, with the names of all concerned, such as MILLARD, in capital letters, as in the files of the Security Service. That detail has always stuck in my memory.

The lay client had demanded that my clerk, or I myself, somehow get back his money.

Though I was myself blameless (as was my almost useless clerk of the time), I could see the situation snowballing. My clerk had discovered that the £2,000 cheque (worth at least £6,000 today) had been paid into a bank account controlled by Baird’s girlfriend, Baird having himself been blackballed by all banks. I therefore pressured the girlfriend on the telephone, telling her (truthfully) that she could go to prison if the money was not handed back.

I am not a natural bully, but needs must, and after a great deal of bitter tears, the girlfriend did agree to give the money to my clerk, who returned it to the lay client.

I believe that Baird split up later with that woman. No loss (to her). She was probably unaware that she was but one string to his bow. In fact, a very nice St. Lucian bar owner woman had told me that various West Indian women were always telephoning the bar for Baird, leaving messages etc.

Baird then had the cheek to telephone me at chambers and threaten to “give you a good hiding”, as he put it, if I refused to give him, via my clerk, the £2,000. I invoked the name of the Metropolitan Police, then put the telephone down. I never heard from Baird again.

In the interim, though, I happened to meet, at court, that furious man described at the beginning of this story. It turned out that, far from being the lunatic described by Baird, he was a most reasonable fellow, a solicitor who had employed Baird in the recent past as outdoor clerk, and who had discovered that Baird was stealing money, tricking clients out of cash, demanding cash even when the defendant was legally-aided etc.

That solicitor also gave me some background. It seemed that Baird’s parents were mestizos from one of the main Caribbean islands (I forget which), and that his father was a pillar of the community (I think a surgeon). Baird was white-ish but his half-brother not. Baird himself had apparently been a shocking disappointment and source of shame to his parents, by reason of his various behaviours in the Caribbean.

That solicitor had told me how it had taken him a long time to untangle the skein of fraud, theft, and lack of any responsibility, of Baird. The Law Society had been on the solicitor’s neck, I think.

I was contacted not long afterward by that half-brother of Baird, who begged me to meet him and his Polish girlfriend to discuss the matter. Turned out that he worked in a senior (he said) or middle-management (my guess) role at Citibank. He was afraid of scandal tarnishing him, especially the fraudulent aspects of his half-brother’s behaviour.

I met the couple at Ronnie Scott’s, the famous Soho jazz club, which I had not visited previously, and which I found quite interesting. The “Citibank” Baird and Polish girlfriend (a blonde dentist), who seemed to have some kind of VIP membership (we were able to jump the queue to get in) were not unpleasant, and we discussed the problem amicably enough before parting.

What struck me at the time is how the fraudulent Baird had managed to get away with many things because most people, most of the time, believe most of what is told to them, especially when they are introduced (by others, or via mass media “validation”) to the fraudulent individual in such a way as to lull suspicion.

It takes time to wake up to the lies of a hard-core narcissist.

Here we come to the similarity with “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”. She was introduced to the public by sort-of-trusted organizations and people. The Guardian. The Observer. TV shows. Nigella Lawson, the Jewish TV cook. Others.

That validation (which to some extent continues— incredibly, “Jack Monroe” was on BBC Question Time recently, long after her “grifting” and outright fraud was exposed) makes many tend not to question her bona fides.

Even now, you see on Twitter those unthinking people perfectly happy to accept that “Jack Monroe” crowdfunded to “sue Lee Anderson”, then did not sue Lee Anderson (a few of the mugs even think that she did sue— and won!), and then (as she claims) donated all those crowdfunded monies to an unnamed food bank, indeed to one which she refuses to name. Meanwhile she tries to pull the old “mental health”, “physical health”, and “fear of stalkers and trolls” stunts, which she has used many times previously when suspicions about her gather.

Some commentators think that I am wasting my time on “Jack Monroe” and her mug supporters. Probably, but it makes me angry to see vulnerable, well-meaning, often elderly and, not-infrequently seen, disabled and sick people being taken for mugs by that cheat and liar, who is just laughing at them, if only they were able to wake up and see it.

Where are the police? Still seizing “racist” teddy bears? Still snooping on Twitter or blog posts?

Finally, I have no idea what happened to the egregious Mitch Baird. Maybe the bastard died. Many of those who target me seem to live relatively short lives. Or maybe he just faded into terminal obscurity.

Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) has already been sentenced to 2.5 years for comments made on his podcast channel: see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/15/uk-white-supremacist-jailed-over-racist-podcasts. He is unlikely to be released until some date in early to mid 2024.

In the meantime, to assist in his resettlement after release, a GoFundMe appeal has been launched, and is gradually gathering-in monies for him.

Unscientific, but still an expression of Western (mainly US/US) public opinion, looking at the nearly 9,000 votes.

The very fact of part of Ukraine being a war zone should preclude Ukraine from joining NATO (under NATO’s own rules).

I think that the Americans, meaning the leadership or ruling circles, are starting to realize that they are pushing Russia too hard and that, if push comes to shove, Russia just might hit NATO states with strategic nuclear weapons in the end. No matter that most of Russia’s 6,000+ weapons might not launch successfully, or reach their targets. Several hundred could. That means every American city of any size wiped out. Don’t do it. Pull back from the brink.

Once dementia sufferer Biden is removed from office next year, there will be an opportunity for the USA to re-evaluate this whole situation, stop funnelling arms, ammunition, and money to the Kiev regime, in effect take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. The war would then cease almost immediately. Russia can have the territories between the river Dnieper and the Russian border, as well as Odessa and the Black Sea littoral. There would then be a fully-Ukrainian state west of the Dnieper, probably based on Lvov, but north of the strip of land along the entire Black Sea coastline.

“Jack Monroe” “recipes”: mix a tin of cheap sardines with curry powder, add any old bits and pieces and some yoghurt. Microwave and enjoy! (or not…).

Someone more artistically-talented than me ought to do some satirical caricatures of typical “Jack Monroe” supporters: all over 50, most over 60; the aged lesbians; the “whiteknighting” middleaged or elderly men; the mentally-afflicted; the radical LGBTQXYZ crowd; the naive and affluent middleaged women (Guardian-readers, and mostly living in France, or the English countryside); the msm scribblers and talking heads, “celebrities” too lazy to see or publish the truth. No young people, no ethnic minorities, and no-one with any working palate.

“PilgrimTucker”, with another “Jack Monroe”-supporter argument: “Conservative MPs commit fraud, so why pick on poor little stunted “Jack Monroe”, who only rips off the disabled, poor, and elderly a bit?“…not very convincing. Not true, either. Many of those tweeting or blogging about the “Jack Monroe” fraud carousel often also criticize the Conservative Party and other scammers.

“Mike Hunt” is either another pathetic late-middleaged “white knight”, or “Jack Monroe” herself under one of her many covers: see the tweet below from the same Twitter account…

Ha ha! I like the pungent reply.

Other “grifters” seem to make a living solely by tweeting “fuck the Tories” and similar fairly frequently, then begging for money for their “activism”. Mugs send money to “Supertanskiii” and others on Twitter simply for that (there are usually also tweeted-about medical conditions).

Mugs and utter mugs…

Incidentally, three days after “Jack Monroe” made up her latest pathetic lie, about how Fleet Street (?) national Press reporters, and members of the general public, were supposedly ringing her doorbell, and peering into her windows, and had even driven her out of her home (together with her son who, it now seems, rarely stays with her anyway) because “trolls” were “bullying her” (pointing out online that she is a thief and fantasist), still not one Press story has emerged about her, with the exception of the cut-and-paste “report” (pretending to be an interview) in the pathetic online so-called “newspaper”, Wales Online.

More “Jack Monroe” lies.

Many are alert to her lies now, but there are also many mugs still willing to believe whatever absolute scheiss “Jack Monroe” comes out with:

In fact, who has told “everyone” where the liar lives? I myself have seen nothing at all, on Twitter at least. It is hardly a secret that she lives in some affluent area near Southend-on-Sea (she herself has repeatedly said so), but no more detail than that.

Ha ha! Tweeter “Roly Swansea”, yet another long-term “Jack Monroe” supporter. Ticks some of the usual type of boxes: “PhD candidate; media; training; ESOL teacher; Wobbly; he/him; Poly; Daddy; Vocalist“…

Completely ignorant of both the exact case and facts thereof and how libel cases are launched and paid for, but that does not stop him from advancing an (ignorant) opinion as if it is accurate fact (and condescendingly “explaining” as if he himself is not totally ignorant of the subject-matter and as if his “explanation” is not absolute rubbish).

There is in fact no evidence (beyond the word of a long-term liar, “grifter”, thief, fantasist and fraudster) that any of that money was given to any —unnamed— foodbank as claimed).

Good grief. Imagine sending £40 a month to that fraud!

When you see how easily thousands of mugs have been tricked by one not very believable woman, it becomes clear how millions could be tricked by all the “Covid” nonsense, broadcast relentlessly by governments around the Western world.

Funny and cleverly-satirical video.

Now look…

“Lynne Rogers” is probably yet another “Jack Monroe” sock-account. She has hundreds.

Another enemy of Britain’s history and legacy. Whatever the flaws of the British Empire, it was still a hugely civilizing influence in the world. It should never have been dismantled so swiftly (if at all). The same goes for the other European empires (especially the French).

Good to see that people (on both sides) are actively rescuing and helping animals affected by the human conflict.

“Grifters” of the “Supertanskiii” and “Jack Monroe” type are, from what I have read and seen, subsidized mostly by pathetic men “of a certain age”. God knows what motivates anyone to give anything to such idiots, who however are cunning enough to be, apparently, making a good living out of their nonsense. “Supertanskiii” seems to be a one-trick-pony, who thinks that regularly saying “fuck the Tories” is a serious political statement. The mystery remains, though (with her even more than with “Jack Monroe”)— why do the mugs keep paying out?

The Trigan Empire

I notice that Boris Johnson, as a child, apparently seems to have enjoyed a series of cartoons, published in various magazines and in book form, called The Trigan Empire. Some years earlier, in 1966, I myself, aged 9, had enjoyed the same series, though only for a year (in 1967, my family relocated from the UK to Australia, where the weekly publication Look and Learn was unavailable; at least, I never saw it).

Quite a striking saga: I can still recall a few scenes. I was, until today, unaware that it had been published elsewhere than in Look and Learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trigan_Empire; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_and_Learn.

Incidentally, Sharma attended the same school as me [Reading Blue Coat School, Sonning, Berkshire], but about 10 years or so after me, so I never knew him. In fact, there were no Indians or other non-whites there at that time, except for two half-Indian brothers, one slightly older than me and one younger. I remember them partly because they lived in the same neighbourhood as me. Their father was a polite and tall Indian, who (if memory serves) worked as a tax inspector or accountant or something similar. As to the mother, I remember a smallish, fat English lady wearing a fur coat, and who pronounced Miami, where they had been on holiday (which was rather unusual in or about 1970) as “Meearmee“.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12176895/Britains-police-need-basics-says-Chief-Inspector-Constabulary-Andy-Cooke.html

Britain’s police were today warned to get back to basics after a damning report found that public confidence in the service is ‘hanging by a thread’ due to their failures to tackle crime.

His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary Andy Cooke urged officers to stay out of political matters and stop intervening in Twitter spats, and instead focus on deterring and solving crime and disorder.

In his bombshell report published today, Mr Cooke warned public trust in policing was ‘hanging by a thread’ following a series of scandals and officers not tackling the daily neighbourhood crime most people want them to focus on.

Mr Cooke’s recommendations include: 

  • A ‘back to basics’ approach to ensure the public feel they are receiving a high ‘level of service; 
  • A return to ‘discipline’ including ‘immaculately polished boots’ and ‘custodian helmets’ as the public need to see professionalism to have confidence in officers; 
  • The consistent targeting of local criminals to ensure they are unable to ‘act with impunity’; 
  • Avoiding being ‘dragged into political debates’ and distracted by pursuing ‘non-crime hate incidents’; 
  • Preserving the right to free speech rather than seeking to ‘champion social change or take sides’.

[Daily Mail].

Much of the problem resides with the undue influence currently exercised by the Jew-Zionist element (eg the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and the “Community Security Trust”), using the police and Crown Prosecution Service as a battering ram against dissidents and independent voices such as me. Backstairs slimy slithering, and their constant wasting of police time..

At the same time, many of the police seem all too pleased to not have to bother with real crime, preferring to act as a poundland KGB on behalf of the Jew-Zionist lobby.

Another aspect noted is the actual look of the police. Too many with tattoos, beards etc. Useless creatures.

Perl says that he didn’t know people were being gassed, their bodies being turned into smoke and ash, even when he was inside Auschwitz – that he only fully understood that after the war. As a prisoner, he had seen the huge chimneys of the crematoriums, but when he asked a fellow inmate what they were, he was told the building was a bakery. Call it a coping mechanism, or a survival strategy, but the repression of that knowledge – and the knowledge that most of his family had been murdered – may have helped him live from one day to the next.”

[The Guardian].

Very odd. Comment perhaps superfluous. Still, that interviewee was apparently inside the Auschwitz camp briefly, before he was deployed to work hundreds of miles to the west, in Bavaria. Like others, he saw no “gas chambers”, heard of no “gas chambers”, even when actually staying inside the Auschwitz camp, and when he asked another prisoner what were some chimneys seen, he was told “a bakery“. Why would that other prisoner lie?

It is that kind of oddity or implausibility that fuels the unstoppable wave of “holocaust” revisionism. A certain narrative, pushed for about 75 years (but particularly since the 1960s) is being questioned by more and more people, because much of the story put before the public just does not add up.

The destruction of the dam is unusual, in that such attacks usually clearly benefit one side or the other. Here, the weight of detriment seems to fall on both sides, making it hard to confirm who blew the dam.

The premise is absurd. Why would Russia attack the UK? To take over decaying cities filled with non-whites? There is no reason for Russia and the UK to fight (once the UK Government stops funding the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev). In any case, the British Army numbers fewer than 70,000 in reality, and the hard-nosed bit of that is probably no more than 30,000, maybe far fewer.

The UK police, many of them, are far more interested in doing fake “communitarian” things than doing their proper job, “proper job” meaning deterring or investigating those old boring crimes such as murder, other offences against the person, crimes of acquisition etc.

No, all too many of them have embraced all too readily their new role of being the militia of a toytown “woke” police state, and a poundland KGB, snooping on tweets and other online material (whether they understand that material or not). Still, what goes around comes around, in the end…

The above clip is a typical example. The police in question are chatting about (?) football or (?) Eurovision, and are ignoring the unlawful blocking of the road… until their chat is interrupted. Then they take action, but against a victim of the malicious little pseudo-eco mob, not the mob itself!

Sometimes you can just see what may well happen not far down the road, and if the police fail —continue to fail— to stand with the British people, they themselves will fall victim.

Virtually subhuman. Drop him and the whole troop down a black hole.

Actually, I admit that I am wrong. Not “virtually“…

Many very silly people think that the Suffragettes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette] were justified in their “direct action” programme, a kind of low-level “terrorism”, because without it, women would never have been granted the vote. The only thing about that, though, is that it is not true.

Women all over the world gained the vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, almost all without violent protest. Indeed, the Suffragists in the UK were on that same road: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage.

As to whether “the vote” really is useful, in 2023, that is a debate for some other time.
