When Reality Becomes Subjective

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

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

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

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

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

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

[G.K. Chesterton]

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

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

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

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

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

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

I see now that there was a third notable and related Chesterton— Cecil Chesterton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Chesterton.

“Ain’t that the truth?!“

Also true.

True, but the diagnosis is very clear to many. I have been blogging and, before that, tweeting etc about it for many many years. What also matters is the prognosis, and then the treatment necessary.

I await the tweeter Embery’s defence of my rights to freedom of expression, recently violated by a Kafkaesque prosecution and conviction procured from behind the scenes by the malicious Jew-Zionist org “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, who admit in tweets and on their website that they not only had “lord” Ian Austin write to the DPP about me, but also admit that they have been targeting me for 7 years (I myself think — or know— rather longer).

Tell that to the Jewish/Israel lobby or, rather, to the police and CPS.

Quite a contrast to the present-day migration-invasion of parasites, scavengers, and predators from all over Asia, Africa etc.

Stop treating the NHS as a quasi-religion, start focussing on outcomes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Late music

Update, 7 December 2024

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

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

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

[Robert Stack as Elliott Ness in The Untouchables, a favourite TV show of my childhood. Note the Thompson submachinegun with drum magazine, probably the 30-round version (there were 50 and 100-round drum versions, and both box and stick magazine versions)]

From the newspapers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[where I lived about 20 years ago]

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

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

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

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

Worth considering.

“A 31-year-old man has been banned from driving after he drove through a gaggle of geese, killing seven, a court heard.

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

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

Yet another ******* nuisance who should not even be in our country.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12833065/NHS-doctors-missed-cancer-spotted-Turkish-masseuse.html

“A woman’s cancer was spotted during a holiday massage in Turkey – after previously being misdiagnosed by UK doctors.

Claire O’Shea, 41, had previously been told by doctors the tummy pain she was experiencing was due to irritable bowel syndrome.

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

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

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

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

[Daily Mirror]

The health service for the people, the NHS, will only improve when it stops being treated like a quasi-religion or sacred cow, one run largely for the benefit of those who work in it. Also, when it stops having to serve an ever-expanding number of clients, many not even British.

Saad Gomaa, 34, told the woman he was ‘illegal’, jurors heard, as he allegedly took advantage of her drunkenness to rape her.”

“MPs have raised the alarm about proposals for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to view benefit claimants’ bank accounts for ‘social security purposes‘.

There are concerns this would allow ministers to view the banking details of any state pension recipients, whose payments are administered by DWP.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sunak and his Cabinet of Clowns become more pathetic daily.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I hope that those convicted will appeal to Crown Court.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Juliet Samuel in the Times]

[Note: the above quoted article only became available to republish on 2 December 2023].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bravo.

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

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

Andrew Neil was the best political interviewer in the country. His fatal flaw is his adherence to the Israel lobby and the general Jewish-Zionist lobby.

What can one say? Our political system is totally broken. A total moron such as Esther McVey can be appointed Cabinet minister only because the political system is at rock-bottom.

Idiots like her, however, are taken care of by the corrupt System even when the voters chuck them out, as happened to Esther McVey in 2015. Having lost her Commons seat, she spent 18 months as Chair of the British Transport Police Authority, despite knowing nothing about either policing or transport.

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

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

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

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

Jew, of course: see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Seldowitz.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/the-nightmare-scenario.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well worth reading.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Update, 13 October 2024: in the end, Marina Ahmad was shoved aside (I think after being labelled “antisemitic”) in favour of one Liam Conlon, the 30-something son of Keir Starmer’s collaborator, former civil servant and would-be queen bee, Sue Gray, who held the position of Chief of Staff at 10, Downing Street from July 2024 until (it seems) her interference and politicking made Starmer demote her and chuck her out of the first circle of power in October 2024. Conlon won the new Beckenham and Penge seat with 49.3% of the vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_and_Penge_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckenham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s].

Mint julep

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

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

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

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

As the ice melts, you drink.

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

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

Frankly My Dear, I’d Love a Mint Julep!—Drink Up #2

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

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

Announcement

As announced yesterday, the magistrates’ court trial to which I was made subject went badly for me. I cannot blog about that at present.

I am presently due to be sentenced at the end of January, or in February, of 2024. After that, I have 15 working days, i.e. three weeks, in which to serve any Notice of Appeal. Any appeal hearing, before a Circuit Judge (sitting with two magistrate-assessors), would be a complete rehearing, which would probably not happen until the Autumn of 2024, perhaps not until 2025.

I shall decide in February 2024, post-sentencing, whether I shall appeal.

Saturday quiz

Well, a poor score this week, a mere 4/10; I see that John Rentoul scored similarly. I knew the answers only to questions 2, 3, 4, and 7.

From the newspapers

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24778179/moment-teen-kills-army-veteran-bus-station/.

“SHOCKING CCTV footage shows the moment a teenage boy killed an 82-year-old Army veteran with a single punch.

Omar Moumeche, who was 16 at the time, attacked Dennis Clarke at Derby bus station after the veteran told off his friends for messing about on an escalator.

The pensioner suffered a fractured skull as well as a bleed on the brain and died in hospital nine days after the assault on May 6, 2021.

Moumeche, now 18, was found guilty of manslaughter in July, with the judge sentencing the killer yob to two years in youth detention at Derby Crown Court today.

No further action was taken against two other teenage boys who were arrested at the time in connection with the attack.”

[The Sun]

“Omar Moumeche“? So… Algerian, presumably. Why is he even here? Why is his family here?

Life certainly is cheap in Britain’s wonderful new “diverse” multikulti paradise…

Imagine what this country will be like in another 30 or 50 years. I am actually glad that I shall not be here to see it.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12763583/Care-home-nailed-window-shut-stop-holding-Mums-hand-ex-BBC-star.html

Thus Britain, through the gradual acceptance of stupid “laws” and “rules” (invalid and/or misinterpreted) becomes a multikulti and “biosecurity” “poundland” police state.

“The only man alive who can tell you what it is like to be EXECUTED after three Death Row staff in Alabama spent 90 agonising minutes trying – and failing – to give him a lethal injection.”

[Daily Mail]

The U.S. Constitution is a bad joke in most respects. Here is one example. The 8th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids “cruel and unusual punishment“. Then look at what has been found to be not “cruel and unusual,” such as these ghastly lethal injection executions and, of course, the classic one, the electric chair, which can take several minutes and may fry someone alive, in effect.

The U.S. Constitution, looked upon by most Americans as if holy writ, when in fact it was just a document cobbled together by a bunch of freemasons (many of them), partly (it is said) in a New York City tavern.

The wrongheadedness of the “austerity” drive since 2010, which badly damaged the UK economy, especially in the years 2010-2015, but was sold to the unthinking British people as “necessary”.

That was a long time ago. The world is now overpopulated, and particularly with non-Europeans. A reduction of the world’s population to about 10% of what it is now is very desirable, but of course the remaining population has to be mainly ethnically European.

“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.”

My Daily Mail newspaper horoscope today

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12758871/horoscope-today-daily-star-sign-november-17-2023.html

“You’re struggling to understand something. The problem, is that everyone assumes that you know what’s going on. And they’re looking to you for guidance/leadership. It’s an uncomfortable sensation, which is making you feel even more uncertain and insecure. But your lack of understanding is based on a lack of knowledge. You don’t possess all the facts. This weekend brings an opportunity to make some subtle enquiries. Once you know more, you’ll be able to guide everyone in the right direction. It’s epiphany time.”

Announcement

Some regular readers will be aware that I am standing trial today, a prosecution brought by the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] but in fact contrived by the serially-malicious “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” or “CAA” after the CPS and police initially refused to prosecute me in 2021-2022 (see the blog post above for 15 January 2022).

However, not one of those malicious and cowardly Zionists is giving evidence (even of their usual perjured sort) against me. Indeed, there are no prosecution witnesses at all giving evidence against me (bar some formal police evidence on paper). Likewise, it is not alleged by the Prosecution that any “harm” has been done by me or my blog; neither is there any named “victim” or “aggrieved person”, not even of the (((usual))) contrived sort.

I am charged under the notorious “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, recommended by the Law Commission for repeal, and which will soon be superseded by the Online Harms Bill when it becomes the Online Harms Act.

I have never been arrested or questioned in respect of the charges, and the summons to Court came via the post. A contrived and politically-motivated prosecution.

I refused Legal Aid and will be representing myself. The reasons for that are both practical and philosophical. I have decided not to invite any supporters or well-wishers to attend. I therefore stand alone against the (corrupted or suborned) forces of the State.

For reasons connected with propriety and any potential notional contempt of Court, I cannot blog in detail about the overall matter until the trial process is at an end (probably on Monday 20 November 2023, but possibly on a later date). However, I wanted to make an initial statement in case there is any attempt to interfere with the publication of the blog.

Wish me well.

Update, same day: Well, sadly, dear readers, the case went the wrong way for me. I shall know my fate by February 2024. Whether there will be an attempt to shut down the blog for a period of time after that, I do not know.

I shall not be blogging in detail about the case or today’s hearing until some time in 2024.

Free speech is now effectively dead in the UK.

As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.

If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.

As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby. She has no idea of much, either politically or, I think, legally. A silly woman who is trying to position herself to be the leader of whatever small group of Conservative Party MPs is left after 2024.

“On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.

Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.“

I read somewhere or other that, of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and then survive both the impact and the waters (about 2%), most recall having a moment when they wished not to have jumped, and/or prayed for a miracle.

Knowing almost no Arabic, I have no idea what he is saying; maybe praising the build-quality of the tunnel.

As I blogged before, the old Soviet KGB had great expertise in digging tunnels. The one shown above looks well-constructed, lined etc. No idea as to depth, though. Presumably very deep.

It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).

There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.

Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?

As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).

I particularly remember the first time I heard that Bach piece, at least the last movement.

I was in a parachute class, and we were shown a film of experienced display parachutists exiting, but not on static lines, from a plane, the group —unusually— holding each other so that they all formed one long string from the door to the tailplane, then moving along so that they were all strung out behind the plane. Finally, they let go one by one, later meeting in mid-air to form other rings and shapes.

The final movement of the Orchestral Suite no.2 by J.S. Bach was the soundtrack to that film.

It has always stuck in my memory. 1977 or 1978.

From the newspapers

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23857518.man-attacked-brothers-walking-home-portland/

“A man was punched multiple times before having part of his ear ripped off in an unprovoked and violent attack by two brothers…He was left with “very unpleasant injuries” and a permanent scar…

…the victim had been walking home from a pub on Portland when a group of men began to follow him and the woman he was with.

One of the men shouted at the woman, but the pair ignored the group and kept walking.

Prosecuting, Roderick Blain, said that Anders Naylor, of Norfolk Road in Weymouth, was among the group.

He went up to the victim, and “punched him in the face”, Mr Blain said.

The victim said he “did not want to fight” and kept walking.

Further up the road Anders punched him a further two times to the head, and another man from the group “struck him on the head from behind”

Repeating he “did not want to fight”, the victim continued walking and passed a Co-op store.

There, Anders assaulted him again by “grabbing him and putting him up to a car” and punching him to the head and chest.

The victim then “took Anders to the ground” to prevent any further attack, the court was told.

However, while on the ground, Anders’ brother Ayrton began grabbing at the victim’s ear, tearing off part of the lobe and cartilage…

While the piece of his ear was recovered, it was unable to be re-attached, so hospital staff cleaned up the ear as much as they could with stitches.

The victim had never met the men before and was “disgusted” by what they had done.

The brothers were sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court having pleaded guilty to assault in relation to the incident, which occurred on Friday, August 13, 2021.

Both brothers were said to be “highly intoxicated” at the time of the assault.

Judge Keith Cutler CBE described it as a “violent attack” which left a man with “unpleasant injuries”.

He said: “It’s now been over two years since the incident.

“There must have been a lot of swearing, shouting and blood. And the next morning, hopefully a lot of regret.”

Anders was given a 12 month jail sentence suspended for two years and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

Ayrton was given a 12 months community order and ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.“

[Bournemouth Echo].

Britain today. A group of drunken thugs shout insults at a woman in the street after dark, then attack the lone man —someone unknown to them— accompanying her, and then they continue the unprovoked attack by tearing off part of the victim’s ear. Sentence? Term of imprisonment, but suspended, albeit with some “serf labour” to be completed.

I am no “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but this is just not good enough. The victim(s) left without justice, in my view, and the message sent out to the public is very weak.

Well, it is a start…

Ex-chocolate soldier, Tom Tugendhat, doormatting for Israel again. Part-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat.

Ha ha! Kay Burley really should prepare her interviews better, to say the least.

“The State Department official who worked on arms transfers to foreign powers, Josh Paul, resigned because of the way the Biden administration wants to resolve the conflict in Israel and Gaza.

He said he could not support further US military aid to Israel and called the administration’s response an “impulsive reaction based on intellectual bankruptcy.” Paul was director of congressional and public affairs in the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, which deals with the arms trade.”

“The Israeli military campaign dubbed “Operation Iron Swords” in the Gaza Strip will be unparalleled in its ferocity and will be unlike anything the Israeli military has conducted in the past within the enclave’s borders. Reuters writes about this, referring to eight informed sources among officials in Israel and other countries of the Middle East and West.”

Very similar to, but even more devastating than the 1943 Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces.

Ironic, but perhaps the Israelis do not see it.

…and almost the entire “British” mass media has caved in to Israeli/Jewish pressure and is trying to exonerate the Israelis re. one of their biggest war crimes.

“1. President Joe Biden’s statement regarding the bombing of the hospital in Gaza was from a misfired Palestinian rocket is totally ridiculous and absurd.

2. Why should there be any doubt that the blast of the Al Ahli Arab hospital is from an Israeli air strike as the murderous regime had been attempting to wipe Palestinians and Gaza out of existence since last week.

3. In fact, Israel had been after the Palestinians all the time, if not wipe out the Palestinians altogether, for the past 70 years and suddenly now, after launching air strikes day and night, Palestinians blames for the blast on the hospital.

4. Biden’s narrative is based on feedbacks from Nethanyahu and Pentagon.

5. Obviously Nethanyahu lies about everything. And if Biden wants to use Pentagon to give credence to his narrative, we have not forgotten how Pentagon and other American institutions lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. 6.

A more recent lie is about Biden claiming to have seen pictures of Hamas beheading babies.

7. Indeed, the White House had withdrawn the statement, admitting that there was no proof of such a deed. The question is how Biden could blatantly lie in the first place and with a straight face.

8. The crux of the matter is that all these atrocities committed by Israel on the Palestinians stems from the American support for Tel Aviv.

9. If the American Government withdraws its support for Israel and stop all military aids to the regime, Israel would not have carried out the genocide and mass murders of Palestinians with impunity.

10. The United States government needs to come clean and tell the truth. Israel and its IDF are the terrorists. The United States is blatantly supporting terrorists. So what is the United States?

DR MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD [former Prime Minister of Malaysia], Oct 19, 2023.”

Biden used to be a nasty, corrupt American politician. Now he is a nasty, corrupt, warmongering and demented puppet, completely controlled by NWO/ZOG.

The little Indian money-juggler neither looks nor sounds, nor thinks, like a prime minister. Just another puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.

If the Conservative Party loses both of today’s by-elections, he will —must— surely step down as Con Party leader. I think it would have to be both, though, to trigger any resignation; only one, and he will be able to stagger on.

Musing about Sunak, one wonders what would be there without the enormous amounts of money he has (mainly via his ultra-wealthy wife). What would there be left? A diminutive Indian more like a “chai wallah” than a prime minister.

Only 3-4 years ago, Sunak was seen as some kind of great non-white hope for the country, as he doled out money for millions of people to stay at home on full pay or three-quarter pay, scared of a virus no more dangerous than influenza. Now? Totally washed-up.

In the UK and USA etc, “they” do it a different way— via payday loans such as now-defunct Wonga…

The distance from the Ukraine-Russia border to Moscow is 450 km. Those missiles therefore cannot reach Moscow (or could they, if modified?).

“There will be wars, and rumours of wars…”

The human cost of war, in this case a very one-sided war.

I notice that the most active (on social media) Jews in the UK are now constantly defending attacks on hospitals, the use of white phosphorus on civilian residential areas, and other atrocities.

A horrible tribe.

Murray is simply a mouthpiece for Jew-Zionism, the New World Order cabals, and Zionist Occupation Government.

Ludicrous, tokenist, monkey-on-a-stick and puppet for the Israel lobby.

See Lammy trying to answer a few not very difficult quiz questions:

If or when Labour forms the next UK government in 2024, that will be “our” Foreign Secretary…At least James Cleverly, useless and stupid as he is, is nonetheless somehow wise enough not to pretend that he knows anything or is anything much beyond useless. A lesson Lammy has never learned.

BBC Gaza report from 2 days ago

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20415675

By comparison, the UK overall has an average population density of about 280 persons per square kilometre, the highest density being in London (about 5,500 per square kilometre).

Imagine about a quarter of the population of London (c.2M) being ordered, effectively on pain of death, and by an alien force, to move from one end of London to the opposite end. Hospitals full of immobile patients; infirm or sick people without road or other transport; babies and small children; companion animals too.

That is what the Jews of Israel, and egged on by most Jews outside Israel as well, are visiting upon the mostly helpless population of Gaza.

Not just Jewish bullies. Inhuman. Their behaviour is inhuman.

In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, the Provisional IRA conducted a terror campaign in the UK from bases in Ireland, some of which were in the Republic. Some “mainstream” Irish TDs (MPs) of the post-1949 era, and even one or two Irish taoiseachs (Prime Ministers), such as Charles Haughey and Sean Lemass, were pro-IRA to a greater or lesser extent. The UK did not bomb Dublin or Dundalk, still less invade the Republic.

“Baroness” Warsi is and always was a waste of space, but at least she is not a complete puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby in the UK. Sunak is. Starmer is.

That ridiculous creature Suella Braverman also is completely in the Zionist pocket. Married to a Jew, she now seems to be moving from a position (some time ago) of support for “free speech” to, now, one of saying that anyone criticizing Israel or Jewish behaviour, or supporting the people suffering in Gaza, will face prosecution.

I know that she was never much respected when she worked as an ordinary barrister, but this is moving to a police-state position on freedom of expression.

In fact, how long will it be before anyone in politics, law, the mass media, will have to pledge allegiance or fealty to the Jews and Israel, or face complete “cancellation” professionally? It has already gone some way towards that in the UK, USA, Australia, even France and Germany.

A —superficially— “velvet glove” type of finance-capitalist “Stalinism”, if you like.

When Suella Braverman made her speech about migration-invasion recently, I found some aspects of it with which I could agree, despite (of course) believing that persons only notionally British should not be Cabinet ministers, or indeed prime ministers.

However, any UK politician who curries favour with the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby is not one who deserves any respect at all.

Incidentally, she has now thrown the “Community Security Trust” or “CST” (the Jew-Zionist strongarm and snoop organization) another £3M of taxpayers’ money (they were given £14M just recently).

I read about that the same day as I found out that a hospice known to me, a wonderful peaceful place which I visited several times about 6 years ago, may have to close because it faces a financial shortfall of “only” £100,000. About 11% of its income comes from government funds.

£3M given to an organization controlled by ultra-wealthy Jews at a time when hospices (etc) are closing because Suella Braverman’s government will not supply more money (a small fraction of the monies given to the “CST”).

The priorities of UK politicians are rotten to the core.

The Bealtaine Cottage lady’s website is very interesting, and I say that despite the fact that she blocked me on Twitter, when I still had a Twitter account (a Jew cabal pressured Twitter to expel me by 2018), simply because (once again— it’s ALWAYS “them”) a Jew kept contacting and harassing her, misrepresenting my socio-political views.

I like to think that I am a fair person…#MoralHighGround.

Owen Jones

I see that Owen Jones has contrived to get more public attention:

What Jones fails to point out is that that British-imposed law probably had a penalty for breach of a small fine or a short prison sentence. I admit that I do not know exactly how much or how long. The Arab/Islamist penalty (I presume, and have seen news to that effect previously) is something like getting thrown off a building, or getting a bullet in the head.

When I was practising at the Bar in London during 1993-1996, I used to do quite a bit of Judicial Review work at the High Court. Most, though not all, was either immigration or housing-related. One such case was a Pakistani fighting deportation to Pakistan on the ground that he was a member of an Islamic sect considered heretical by the other Muslims.

I think, subject to correction, that there are about 70 different sects in Islam.

The said “heresy” was punishable (probably still is) by a maximum penalty of death. The original law prohibiting such belief and/or membership had been passed by the British rulers under the Raj, in the 19th Century.

The devil is in the detail. The original British law provided for a small fine by way of punishment. After Independence and Partition (1947), the law itself was kept exactly as it had been when first passed, but the penalties increased gradually from that original small fine to larger fines, terms of imprisonment, and finally (I think in about 1980 or so) to the death penalty.

The outcome of that case at the High Court in ~1994 is not relevant to my point but, as far as I can recall, the case was listed before a judge who said that he had made a study of the particular sect in question (God knows why). I suppose that he was well-placed to judge the matter fairly. I think that he remitted the case to be reviewed further by the Home Office in the end.

Owen Jones occasionally tweeted against me in the past, I blogged about him nearly 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.

Talking point

Well, I thought that interesting enough to put on the blog, though I do not necessarily endorse it all.

The Israelis go ever-lower. Bombing a hospital. Plainly a war crime.

Are such missiles being too widely-dispersed? Surely Clausewitzian doctrine, as developed over the past 200+ years, demands a concentration of forces to create a Schwerpunkt in or on the enemy territory?

Perhaps the Israelis are planning to simply reduce the main populated parts of Gaza to rubble, like the Romans did to Carthage, so that no-one can live there for many years, perhaps hundreds of years. They might decide to poison the area with radioactive elements, for example. Very evil.

If what the Israelis are doing right now to the Gazan population is, as they and their Western mouthpieces claim, not a war crime, then there is something wrong with the definition of a war crime.

A brazen attempt to intimidate the civilian populations of Lebanon.

“From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tel Aviv”…

“Tripoli“, in the song refers to North Africa, not Lebanon…

Are we moving towards WW3 here? First Jews v. Arabs in Israel/Palestine, then maybe Lebanon (Hezbollah) joining in, and yet another Israeli attack on Lebanon and Syria, then maybe Iran responding. Finally, big-power involvement. USA/NATO, Russia, even China.

Inhuman breaches of not only international law but basic decency.
