Has ultra-woke National Trust been neglecting historic village beloved by Harry Potter fans? That’s what villagers in Lacock, Wiltshire, say as idyllic houses fall into disrepair.

No, they’re fed up because they believe that the National Trust, which owns pretty much every building in Lacock’s historic centre, including 88 tenanted houses and the abbey, has lost interest in the village.

The complaints come amid claims that the Trust has been diverted from its core role of preserving historic buildings, instead promoting woke educational programmes about the slave-owning past of previous owners and emphasising LGBT issues.

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.

“Neil Marsden 1973” is probably another one. Following 17 Twitter accounts, and not being followed by even one person.

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.

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.

We must never forget “the men behind the wire”.

This looks hopeful, on the face of it. Kennedy is all for taking away the ricebowl of the Kiev regime. At the same time, Biden is very clearly mentally unfit to continue in his office.

Economic sanctions

Economic sanctions either do not work at all or have unexpected consequences. When I visited Rhodesia in 1977, aged 20, I half-expected to see a country weighed down by sanctions imposed by the UN. What I found was a country where those who owned cars mostly drove quite new ones. The UK complied with the sanctions regime, but France, Germany, Japan etc did not, judging by the cars seen on the road. Outside the capital, Salisbury (now Harare), though, there were often empty roads— one sanction that did have an effect was that on fuel, which was rationed.

I noticed that books were hard to get. The main bookshop (I was told it was the main one) in Salisbury had few if any serious books (and none of my then-favourite Penguin Classics), but plenty of books from South Africa, most seemingly (my perception, anyway) about how to take care of your horse/dog/cat/tropical fish. You could buy Wilbur Smith adventures, another South African import [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Smith]. Also, no American or British news and current events magazines, no Time, Newsweek, Spectator etc. Rather poor South African magazines such as Scope were available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(magazine).

The dearth of serious reading material was probably the result of both sanctions and the disinclination of most Rhodesians to spend time on intellectual pursuits even of a superficial nature.

As to other effects of the sanctions regime against Rhodesia, imported booze (from Europe or North America) was almost unobtainable, but that did not affect me personally during my time there, because my main drink, apart from water and orange juice, was beer, and the local product was of high quality (Lion Lager or Simba, pronounced “Shumba“, or South African Castle Pilsner, my favourite).

The Rhodesians tried to get around sanctions by diversifying, producing admittedly inferior substitutes for previously imported products. Everything from chocolate to whisky, and even some firearms. I remember seeing ads in the local press for a highly inaccurate submachinegun called the Rho-gun. I seem to recall that the price was about $290 (Rhodesian dollars, not exchangeable outside the country officially, though I did manage to sell quite a few —at a poor exchange rate— to a businessman in Gaborone, Botswana, after I left Rhodesia).

See: https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/BHS_Rhogun and https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Rhogun. For sale to (white) Rhodesians with the appropriate permit. The Rhodesian military had far better arms, mostly either from South Africa or from elsewhere (and pre-dating UDI Independence from the UK). [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia%27s_Unilateral_Declaration_of_Independence]. See also: https://www.nytimes.com/1977/01/03/archives/travelers-get-armed-guard-on-a-road-vital-to-rhodesia.html.

I noticed that “white goods” such as refrigerators, icemaking machines etc were very expensive, whereas locally-produced food such as oranges, nuts, and biltong (meat, often beef or antelope, dried in the sun) etc was not too expensive.

As for exports (supposedly impossible under the UN sanctions regime), the Rhodesians were able to export minerals and some fruit etc. Years later, I discovered that the Soviet Union, one of the states pressing for harder sanctions against Rhodesia (and South Africa) had in fact been secretly buying Rhodesian exports (at a substantial discount). Chromium and other minerals, and Mazoe oranges (sold in the Soviet Union as “Chinese”, apparently). All shipped out of Mozambique.

Tobacco was another prime export, sold on world markets by a sanctions-busting operation based, I think, in Rotterdam.

The idea that Russia will be “brought to its knees” by economic sanctions is a pipe-dream. In fact, such sanctions help Russia in a “be cruel to be kind” way. They force Russia to diversify, and to improve agriculture and horticulture. The sanctions have also forced Russia to create new trading links, and to strengthen existing ones.

Exactly.

In 2016, one of the five tweets that got me disbarred, at the instigation of two connected packs of Jews, was that describing Sarkozy —accurately, except that he is not a full Jew, only part— as “a corrupt little Jew“. Well, scroll on 6-7 years and here we are…

Incidentally, my disbarment was both wrongful and actually unlawful: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Another of the five supposedly “grossly offensive” tweets posted by me, as a result of which I was unlawfully disbarred, was that describing snivelling cocaine user and drunk, Gove, as corrupt, as a fraudster and as a freeloader, and also as being in the pocket of the Israel/Jewish lobby.

Well, any argument on that now?

Look at the above news report. Speculators and parasites are favoured by Gove’s latest policy U-turn. Not all are Jews (and not all Jews are speculators and/or parasites) but, at the same time…

So, of the five “offensive” tweets, turns out that, in fact, two were undoubtedly —and now provably— simple true statements of fact, as were also (in reality) the other three tweets in question.

Corbyn was not even decently “antisemitic”, despite the constant (((whine))) about him. In general, a complete idiot.

700,000 immigrants last year. That’s “net”, meaning maybe a million entered but 300,000 (mainly real British people going to Australia, NZ, Canada etc) left.

Britain as a dustbin.

As, I think, Lord Green of Deddington said in the Lords recently, that amount of immigration means that, just to stand still, Britain requires 300 new dwellings every single day!

Horrible little blots such as Tom Harwood are now showing tiny bits of the Green Belt as scruffy here and there. The exceptions that prove the rule— the Green Belt must be saved and, yes, improved.

Starmer can now, I hope, kiss goodbye to his desired Commons majority in 2024. Much as I want rid of the “Conservatives”, Starmer-Labour is now showing its hand…and it is looking even worse.

It has nothing much to do with “dream of home ownership“. In any case, who wants to own a concrete or brick box in a hellhole landscape, and in which “neighbourhood” your “neighbours” may well be persons of backward culture not long off the boat (literally)?

Is that an honest poll? I wonder. Of course, the public has had 1-2 years of brainwashing or conditioning.

I wonder whether the results might have been different had the question made the point that if Ukraine joins NATO and has a war with Russia, it will be mandatory for all NATO states to join in. That is to say, it would be mandatory to join in a war against Russia which would almost certainly either be or become nuclear.

I suppose that, even were the question to elucidate the situation to the people asked, a few lunatics would still want to fight Russia, but most might think that the utter destruction of their homes and whole way of life would be a high price to pay for supporting “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime)…

Starmer still no more popular than Sunak, give or take a couple of points. Both stupid wasters unpopular with 60%-69% of the voters.

I daresay that, in a month’s time, once people realize that Starmer wants to continue to import millions of unwanted migrant-invaders, and destroy what is left of the still-beautiful English countryside so that millions of hutches can be built to house them, the popularity of Starmer —and so, Labour— will fall further yet.

The whole two-party system (with LibDem/dustbin add-on) is very ingrained. It is, in itself, a potent form of conditioning or brainwashing.

Thoughts

Thinking about that visit to Rhodesia in 1977: many people imagine that a collapsing society looks like Germany in 1945 (or 1923). Not so. I was in Poland (several times) in 1988 and 1989; also, in the DDR/East Germany, and Czechoslovakia.

The whole socialist system fell apart in late 1989. Yet the police still patrolled, the borders were maintained and guarded (until the Berlin Wall fell), utilities still worked, and there were few political demonstrations, let alone riots or the like. Letters continued to be delivered. Shops remained open, even if they had little to sell in some cases. The seismic changes were about to happen, but there were only slight external signs of that.

One got a sense of considerable discontent, talking to people in Poland and Czechoslovakia (on those visits and elsewhere as well), but the surface normality prevailed. The police still functioned, even in Poland (I myself picked up two tickets for, in the American phrase, “jaywalking”, i.e. crossing the road at the wrong place). Fined on the spot…twice. A recidivist.

Turning from those situations to the UK, there often seems to be little public appetite for swift political change. Frustrating for many of us.

We have seen, over 20 years, almost uncontrolled mass immigration (including, now, direct migration-invasion in small boats across the Channel, thousands of the bastards per day), crushing “austerity” for the poorer half of the society, ridiculous policies about the “Covid” “panicdemic” etc, an inability of Government to supply (directly, or via the private and/or third sectors) services vital to the people (such as trains, road repair, NHS or other healthcare, social care for various groups). Also, a failure to guard our borders, and a failure to clamp down on real crime (theft, drug abuse, social nuisance etc)., while kow-towing to Jewish/Zionist pressure re. social media non-crime.

Now we see idiots such as Ann Widdecombe criticizing parents who cannot afford to feed their children cheese sandwiches, while pumping billions out to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev) and to house and feed unwanted nuisances who have arrived via unauthorized Channel crossings.

Talk to people, and you get a sense of weary resignation in them, rather than anger, though that may also be there, under the urbane English exterior.

Still, there is everything yet to play for. The NSDAP vote in Germany was only 2.6% in 1928. Events happened, and the NSDAP triumphed only 4-5 years later.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/may/17/online-estate-agent-purplebricks-sold-charles-dunstone-strike

Purplebricks, the once high-flying online estate agent that reached a peak valuation of more than £1.3bn, has been sold to Charles Dunstone-backed rival Strike for £1 with all of its more than 750 staff put at risk of redundancy.

Purplebricks launched in 2014 and received early backing from Neil Woodford, the former star stockpicker. It floated on London’s junior market, Aim, in December 2015.”

[The Guardian].

Another example of the madness of crowds, and the madness of finance-capitalism, though I concede that there are arguments to the contrary.

Remember Lastminute.com? The newspapers boosted that simple and actually not very clever idea, made an entitled/privileged and silly woman (and her Jewish business partner) incredibly wealthy in the speculative scramble, but it ended with the small shareholders all wiped out; cheated, in reality.

The woman was even elevated to the Lords by David Cameron-Levita. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lastminute.com and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Lane_Fox.

The only thing that can be said is that at least most of those small shareholders lost only a few hundred pounds, if that, their share allocations having been very small.

Lastminute is still, I think, trading, technically. I tried to use the booking service once, about 20 years ago. Useless.

As to Purplebricks, looks as if many shareholders are now left with the value of their shareholding being worth little more than 1% of the peak valuation.

“Bob from Brockley”, meaning Jew-Zionist fanatic Ben Gidley, a lecturer at Birkbeck College, London. He used to troll me relentlessly (for about 7 years) on Twitter when I had a Twitter account; a pack of Jews (may or may not have included Gidley) had me expelled in 2018).

I worked out his identity not long before other, unconnected, people did, including the well-known journalist, Peter Hitchens (another “victim” of Gidley’s online trolling). Hitchens has mentioned Gidley several times in his Mail on Sunday column. Gidley has not had the gall to threaten Hitchens (or me) with any action in defamation…

Gidley has and has had a number of other Twitter accounts, some now eliminated or frozen by Twitter: “AntiNazisUnited” was one, “InTheSoupAgain” was another.

Like so many fanatical Jew-Zionists on Twitter, Gidley seems to spend much of his time “reporting” or denouncing non-Jews (almost exclusively) to anyone who might listen. Others (I do not know about Gidley) are not content with complaining pointlessly to Twitter, so also “report” to police, professional regulators, employers etc.

What often strikes me, looking at many of these types, is how limited their world is. Many of them tweet almost exclusively about supposed “antisemitism”. Few have anything to say about anything else (except how good, they think, Israel is). Very few have anything to say about ideas for the betterment of society. It’s all “antisemitism”, “Israel”, and “Nazis”. 78 years after the end of the Second World War. All seem to hate freedom of expression (for non-Jews).

I suspect (not sure) that one of Gidley’s more recent Twitter accounts is “@Lapsedmethodist”, which purports to be an Ireland-based Twitter account mostly interested in Israel/Palestine.

I had actually forgotten about Gidley’s existence until I saw the above exchange on Twitter, but there it is, still whining about “antisemitism”, and still opposing any justice for the Palestinian Arabs displaced (killed or “ethnically cleansed”) by Jews.

Stray thought

I just happened to see a tweet (leading to a website page) by the Crown Prosecution Service. All about an event at the building now housing the Supreme Court, in Parliament Square, London. The CPS official commenting, a Sikh, stated that “Diversity was fully embraced at this event“. Well, I looked at the several photographs of groups of people attending. Out of a couple of dozen attendees, there seemed to be only one white/English person. There’s “diversity” for you— the British/English relegated to mere “me too” add-ons.

That is our future unless we do something about it. I refer to the future of the people as a whole, not to myself personally. I am already 66, and I fear for the future of the British/English people as a whole, and for our society.

[Germany 1945— “We are fighting for the future of our children!”]

Incidentally, I know that Supreme Court building. When I was a youngish barrister in London, 30 years ago, that building was still designated as Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court (despite being in Parliament Square). At that time, there was no “Supreme Court” in the UK, and the highest court was still called the “House of Lords” (Judicial Committee).

I did my first actual Crown Court trial in that building, a “section 18” GBH with intent, and secured an acquittal, despite the defendant having poured boiling oil over his assailant and then stabbed him twice (you would need to know all the details to understand why the jury came to that —just— verdict). Happy times…

That stupid old woman thinks that she is terribly clever (her time in Government suggested the opposite: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Widdecombe).

Ann Widdecombe is in fact the sort of completely out of touch individual who should never be near political power or significant office. Look at her background.

She was a student until age 25-26, after which she had her only two ordinary jobs, both low-level “gopher” ones. Unilever got rid of her (I think that she was a clerk) after less than 2 years, then she ploughed on as an “administrator”, i.e. clerk, in an office of London University for 12 years.

Imagine Ann Widdecombe’s lack of (?) ambition/talent/knowledge/usefulness until she somehow got selected to be Conservative Party MP for Maidstone (a “safe seat”) in 1987.

Anne Widdecombe has never married, never had children, and seems to have lived with her parents until quite an advanced age (seems to have been in her thirties).

Not that I disagree with all of her views. I am broadly with her on animal rights, or animal welfare (pro), on abortion (anti), and on some other issues. It is just that people like her, who have never “walked in the moccasins” of others, cannot judge social issues fairly. As the film clip above shows.

The UK Parliament is packed with people who should not be there, and that has been the case for a long time, certainly since the 1980s.

Imagine…Ann Widdecombe talking about a cheese sandwich as though it is some kind of luxury item!

I might add that if governments keep failing to deliver to the people not even what they want, but what they need, MPs and others may be shocked one fine day to see what happens, including what happens to them. Be warned.

Again, Ann Widdecombe shows her complete separation from reality.

On Twitter today, the above socio-political discussion has caused a storm, but this goes beyond Ann Widdecombe (who ceased to be an MP many years ago). It is about all the other deluded people (of various types) in Parliament and also in the msm.

Look at the fantasy politics we have endured for well over a decade— “austerity” fantasy, whereby everything was cut back because of the nonsense idea that those on unemployment and disability benefits somehow caused the financial crash of 2007-2008; the “Covid” “panicdemic” or “scamdemic”, with its ludicrous “laws” and “rules” (the “social distancing”, the facemask nonsense, the quarantine nonsense, the “lockdown” nonsense etc, and of course the “test and trace” fiasco and fake “vaccines”)…

Now we have “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) policy, the idea that the UK must funnel unlimited money, arms, ammunition, medical supplies etc to Kiev, despite Ukraine having only been a state (a failed state) for 30 years or so, despite the UK having no historical tie with Ukraine, despite the UK having no treaty with Ukraine.

Oh, and of course any Ukrainian “refugees” (many are in fact not even Ukrainian in the first place— there are blacks and browns too) who land here (many of them being in fact relatively affluent) can get, immediately, all UK social security and medical benefits. Most are fake “refugees” too (having come from Kiev or the peaceful areas in the west of Ukraine), and quite a few actually despise us and our country, yet “our” Government throws money at them, while denying British children a cheese sandwich…

Looks like someone needs to be shown the error of her ways…

Judging by the accent of the shouting idiot, in Canada.

I read that the Kiev-regime air defence forces fired off about 40 Patriot missiles in a matter of minutes last night. USD $4M each. USD $160M gone, literally in a flash. Zelensky must be thanking whatever god he may have for the US and UK (etc) taxpayers, who are funding this war. Meanwhile, in the UK, poor children cannot have even a cheese sandwich because (according to idiots like Ann Widdecombe) “there is no money“…

…and so, slowly, gradually, the states of Western Europe become more enmeshed in the Ukraine conflict. The situation needs only one or two events, perhaps not even thought-out events, and the Third World War will be triggered. Maybe not this month, maybe not this year, but sometime fairly soon. It is not inevitable, and can be prevented, but at present no-one, certainly no-one in the centres of power in the West, is even trying.

Seems that Ukrainians are lining up to join up. Oh, no, wait…

For once, I have to agree with “antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery. Miracles will never cease…

It is only human to think that someone with great wealth, especially when they did not inherit it, must have a great mind. Sadly, however, that is usually not the case (though Elon Musk is certainly a very interesting character).

The above tweet by Musk does indicate poor, surprisingly poor, logical skills. Poor knowledge of modern history, too.

The Jewish lobby in the UK has been trying to get rid of Neil Oliver for quite some time. They have been looking for an opportunity, an excuse.

Well, unless they have done an El Cid on him (dead but propped up on his horse to rally the troops), looks as though Lukashenko’s death or near-death has been greatly exaggerated…

The armed forces of the UK now do almost nothing for the people of the UK, and there is no credible enemy state within a thousand miles or more in any direction.

Meanwhile, the real enemies are much closer and cannot easily be stopped by ships, aircraft, armour or infantry: the migrant invaders (only 5%-10% of whom arrive in small boats across the Channel), the Zionist lobby in the UK, the supporters of militant Islamism (many of whom live in the UK’s cities), and the lawless, feral, urban hordes (some of which are even ethnically British/English).

That is the way “they” are— chuck them out of the front door and (((they))) try to come back through a rear window.

As blogged in the past, Russia is well-placed to realize autarky, especially if its economy can be further diversified, and in any case China and numerous smaller countries are still trading with Russia. In fact, Russia’s trade with many countries seems to be increasing.

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

Nice room. It reminds me of my own one-time drawing room (about the size of the whole of my present tiny flat). I suppose that Musk and Macron are in the Elysee Palace.

Sven Longshanks

Another nail in the coffin of free speech in the UK. The nail may have been hammered in by the police and Crown Prosecution Service, but behind them stood, as so often, (((the usual suspects))).

I never listened to the podcast in question, mainly because I have no patience with long discussions which (arguably) lead nowhere, but whatever he and his guests said, there was no real reason to censor him, let alone to imprison him. Now, unless there is any successful appeal on conviction or sentence, he will be actually incarcerated for well over a year.

The case of “Sven Longshanks” does not stand alone. It is part of a whole campaign being waged —mainly— by the Jewish/Zionist lobby in the UK.

“Lawfare”.

Internet “radio” podcasts seem to be a major, perhaps the major, target. There have been a number of podcasters prosecuted and even imprisoned over the past couple of years.

Strange to think that Britain used to be known as almost the home and centre of freedom of expression in the world, along with the USA and the British white dominions.

I hope that “Sven Longshanks” has friends or comrades who will assist him while he is incarcerated, send him money via the official mechanism, and keep in communication with him. We should always support “the men behind the wire”.

Funny. The old woman is a nuisance on the one hand, but on the other hand someone who is keeping her immediate neighbourhood safe, rather like the volunteers in parts of the socialist world before 1989 (and, indeed, in National Socialist Germany in the 1930s and early 1940s).

[badge of a “Druzhinnik”, a Soviet local law-and-order volunteer]

As a matter of fact, if that old woman lived near me, I might have avoided having one wheel (yes, I too am puzzled) stolen from my car in the middle of the night not so long ago, a theft which the police not only failed to prevent or “detect” (despite evidential material existing) but also in which they had very little interest at all. In a word, useless.

That video clip reminds me of a personal reminiscence, from a time when the police were possibly more numerous and certainly more effective.

In the early 1980s, my then girlfriend drove (with me as passenger) from London to Reigate, Surrey, where my parents lived. Her vehicle was an ex-Post Office van, a Ford Transit with side windows, which she intended (never happened) to turn into a camper van for herself and her small children. It was part-yellow, part-red-brown, having been half-painted over by the previous owner. It looked rather scruffy, to be honest.

While the van was parked outside my parents’ house, on a driveway visible from the local road, there was a ring at the door. My mother went to the door. A polite, smart-looking young policeman was there, uniformed and wearing a cap. Incidentally, no beard or visible tattoos, unlike some of the scruffy police you see today. His police car was outside in the road.

My girlfriend cowered behind a pillar (thinking that she had probably done something wrong with the van) as the policeman explained to my mother that the reason why he was inquiring was “because that vehicle does not seem to fit the neighbourhood“! By today’s standards, incredible. I doubt that it would happen these days, anywhere in the UK. Surrey Police, then, was a very efficient force. Almost a Swiss level of efficiency (and curiosity).

Not only fear, but people are imperfect— that is where law, or prevention, comes in.

In fact, that is one more misleading headline: see the YouGov poll:

Yes, technically, Sunak came third out of “two”, but he got 27%, while Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer did almost as badly— 30%.

“Don’t Know” means, here, “I despise and have no respect for either“…

What was the choice of the remaining 3%, or were the figures rounded?

Misleading headline. Fewer than half of those 18-24 actively support the idea.

There is cogent anecdotal and other evidence that at least a small number of big cats live in the countryside. I have heard tales myself (not from the msm).

So at least 79% of the public had little interest in the Coronation, to the extent of “celebrating” it (drinking, mainly). Who are the 2% called “Don’t Knows”? Those on “lost weekends”, presumably.

What a horrible and cruel scene.

As to so-called “racism”, I distinguish between purely “offensive”, and actually “defensive“, “racism” (and, indeed, “antisemitism”).

White European culture and civilization must be defended.

Odds-on that tweeter Carole Flint lives in some leafy suburb, far from the most negative effects of the migration invasion.

…and, in the Bakhmut/Artyomovsk area, the “musicians” are still playing….

Very good analogy ad extremum

In a slightly different sense, that is what has happened in the UK, USA, France and other countries.

I never much liked Gaddafi, but he is surely correct here, and Libya is now a lawless corrupt mess. At least Gaddafi ran it reasonably efficiently, and also kept sub-Saharan Africans out of Europe.

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil part of the NWO conspiracy.

However, it is no good opposing the Zionists in the Middle East while not opposing their machinations in the EU and UK.

Diary Blog, 14 May 2023, with items about John Osborne, Anatoly Golitsyn, and the Russia-China rapprochement

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12080849/PETER-HITCHENS-impoverish-nation-help-poor-world.html

“Labour, as we know from the blurted revelations of the Blairite functionary Andrew Neather, actually wanted to change the character of the country. The Tories wanted lots of cheap labour, and didn’t care if it changed the country. The policy continues. I doubt that the latest law on migration will make much difference.

Lord Green of Deddington – a measured former diplomat who deals in hard fact – mordantly pointed this out during last Thursday’s debate in the House of Lords. He said: ‘The Government have actively encouraged large-scale economic migration,’ and produced clear evidence of this.

He warned: ‘The current scale of immigration, of which asylum is only a small part, simply cannot be allowed to continue. The pressure on our schools and public services is heavy and increasing. We already have to build… nearly 300 homes every single day just to house immigrant families.’

[Peter Hitchens, in the Daily Mail]

[should be captioned “MIGRANT INVADERS”]

Naturally, the pro-immigration careerists and “useful idiots” will display the details of some “refugee” brain surgeon or scientist, maybe one single individual out of every thousand.

John Osborne

“Given a platform to express his views in the 1957 anthology Declaration, he took the opportunity to criticize monarchy:

I have called Royalty religion the ‘national swill’ because it is poisonous… the leader-writers and the bribed gossip mongers have only to rattle their sticks in the royalty bucket for most of their readers to put their heads down in this trough of Queen-worship… My objection to the Royalty symbol is that it is dead; it is the gold filling in a mouthful of decay.[67]

[Wikipedia]

Polemical, but he had a point.

More from Osborne:

Critics saw a conservative attitude to empire reflected in West of Suez,[41][36][45] and later in the 1970s he expressed support for Enoch Powell;[76] in the words of Osborne’s biographer Michael Ratcliffe, “he drifted to the libertarian, unorganized right”.[69] Several commentators have argued that a conservative and nostalgic strain was apparent in Osborne’s work from an early stage.[77][52][76] As early as 1968, in an interview with Kenneth Tynan, he had declared himself “a patriot in the sense that my life only has meaning here, not somewhere else. This sort of spurious internationalism, where people respond to one another across nations and continents — it seems to me very unreal.[47]

[Wikipedia]

I am warming to his words, especially after the pathetic “Conservative Democracy” “conference” (about 100 people), at Bournemouth yesterday, had an even more pathetic knot of pro-“refugee” (migrant-invader) protesters (about 3 or 4) outside the “conference”. They were there, apparently, to support non-existent “climate refugees”.

The unreality has now permeated all levels, from mainstream System political parties (look at the last few Prime Ministers— Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris-idiot, Theresa May) to tiny groups on all sides, even the British nationalist side in some cases.

…and do not forget that millions of “me too” idiots promoted the facemask nonsense, including many many “healthcare professionals” such as doctors. Those who realized the nonsense was nonsense mostly kept quiet to protect their jobs and money.

Interesting but, if the KGB was so cunning, why was it unable to save the Soviet Union itself? The collapse of “the West” may be in train, but that of the “socialist” world already happened, starting (arguably) in 1989.

Not that that means that Bezmenov was completely wrong.

Defectors have to sell something, usually either “secrets” or some kind of analysis of events. cf. Golitsyn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoliy_Golitsyn].

As for Bezmenov himself, he died in Canada at the early age of 53: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Bezmenov.

Talking about Golitsyn, his stock was low for decades. I recall discussing the matter in the early/mid1980s, after dinner with a senior member of the (British) Foreign Office research apparat. It was at his home in Blackheath (London), and was a merely social invitation via one of his daughters.

The FO man was dismissive of Golitsyn and, after a couple of his excellent aged Scotch whiskies, emphatically so. I had, at the time, the bad habit of playing devil’s advocate or advocatus diabolus

All the same, while the Soviet and Chinese communists may not have expressly plotted together to deceive the West about the Sino-Soviet split [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoliy_Golitsyn#Controversies], look at what is now happening— what looks very like a slowly-emerging Russia-China rapprochement against NATO/NWO.

Slightly alternatively, a Russia-China rapprochement combined with a strategy of undermining the West not only militarily but also in financial and commercial areas; weakening the dollar as the default world currency, and bypassing the financial centres of the USA, UK, and EU.

Sometimes, ideas may not become official policy yet have unexpected effects later, down the line. An example of that would be the Helsinki Accords of 1975 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki_Accords].

Many saw them as meaningless, an example of the Soviet Union “fooling” the West. That may well have been the intention of the Soviet leadership. However, the dissidents in Russia and the Baltic states, Czechoslovakia etc, used the superficially “paper” agreements to push for liberalization of the whole socialist system in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The rest is history.

Also, speculating philosophically a little, I think that, once an idea has passed through even one human mind, it has incalculable effects down the line.

A somewhat similar idea (re. Helsinki etc) was behind the episode of The Sandbaggers (for me, one of the very best spy story series on TV) called My Name is Anna Wiseman.

I confess that, when I first saw that episode, I thought it rather far-fetched. I thought the same, more or less, about Andrei Amalrik’s Will the Soviet Union Survive until 1984?, which I first read sometime in the early 1980s. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Amalrik]. In both cases, I was (at least partly) wrong. Sometimes, life can be very surprising. I have found that.

Not only to “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), but also to Israel:

The Jewish lobby in America captured Congress decades ago. The same is true, to a large extent, of the House of Commons in the UK.

I wonder how long it will be before the first nuclear missiles explode in or over Western Europe, and where they will be exactly. In the UK, for example. Faslane? Chicksands? London?

I myself live only about 20 miles from a major likely target area (Southampton). Maybe, in the end, the thing to do would be to buy an excellent bottle of Chateau Margaux or, maybe, Chateau d’Yquem, and just accept that one can do nothing to stop the madness.

If the Russians keep getting poked and prodded and, indeed, endangered by the NATO powers (egged on by the “you-know-whos”, as usual), this can only end one way.

I recall that, when I was living in the South West of the UK, ~20 years ago, a large amount of cocaine was discovered by a dog walker or the like on the wooded banks of the river Torridge, near Bideford. Obviously left by a small boat at night, probably off a larger ship (this was a couple of miles from the estuary, beyond which is the open sea).

Cannot quite remember the value, but I think it was in the hundreds of thousands, at least.

The finder reported it to the police. What else? After all, even leaving aside moral or legal imperatives, most people would have no idea how to sell such a haul. I certainly would not. I do not take prohibited drugs, and know no-one who does, or who would buy that —or any— amount of them.

Doesn’t take much to scare them, nicht wahr? I wonder where their boltholes are? USA? Canada? UK? France? Australia?

Germans know that their territory might well be the first to be obliterated if a terrible nuclear war were to start.

This is the Jewish comedian before whom the entire “Western” msm and political rabble have bowed down…

Zelensky always looks unwashed to me; frankly rather unclean.

I think that the musicians will beat the comedians…

Do you expect manners from “them”? Don’t expect it, then you will not be disappointed.

Now reverse-engineer it.

“Jack Monroe”, a complete fraud. Amazing that she is still being invited to various festivals, though I think only small ones, and she is still occasionally seen in the mass media. In fact, there are still (as of today) 429 utter mugs each sending her between £3.50 and £44 monthly via Patreon. Those idiots must have cotton wool for brains.

Yes, I know that there are other online “grifters”, such as one “Supertanskiii”, a blond woman who has made a living ranting pointlessly on Twitter about “the Tories” (because fake “Labour” under Starmer would be so much better…oh, no, wait a moment…). “Jack Monroe”, though, is a particularly egregious, and indeed pathological, liar.

That is very restrained.

I blogged about those events several times in 2022. As I guessed, there never was a libel action launched, but “grifter” Jack Monroe pretended for quite a while that there was, and solicited donations from mugs.

In fact, her one-time chosen lawyer, Israel-based self-promoter Mark Lewis (about whom I have also blogged in the past), has not even come out of his kennel on her behalf in the past year, as far as I know.

The further tweets are worth reading.

I find myself turning back to Nietzsche, particularly Also Sprach Zarathustra, not read for many years.

The nanny state…again.

About 22-23 years ago, I was en route from a social call in Hereford to the South Coast when the police stopped me in Wiltshire in the middle of the night. I had expected to overnight in or near Hereford, but in the end decided to drive through the night, starting after midnight.

I had had a couple of pints of cider during the (hot summer) day, and a couple of pints of Guinness in the evening. I was not intoxicated in the slightest.

The drive back was devoid of traffic. I scarcely saw any other vehicle, though I had to brake urgently when a black deer ran in front of my car before scrambling into woodland on the road that follows the course of the river Wye.

Sometime around 2 in the morning, I crossed an empty roundabout in Wiltshire and, not long after that, I noticed in the rear-view mirror a car a distance behind me. That car, a police vehicle, then blasted my car with bright headlights, so bright that they were shocking. Irresponsible. They then applied their blue lights.

I pulled over, and one of the two police approached. He asked me where I was headed, from where I had come, and why was I out so late. They probably had already checked the car’s registration (it was not my car), and so asked for no licence or insurance details. Just as well. I had a foreign licence at the time, and I find talking/explaining to the police rather boring.

The policeman had a perfunctory look and rummage in the back of the car, and then decided (on my admission that I had had a Guinness) to breathalyze me. Zero reading.

Turned out that a police camera operator had seen me cross that empty roundabout “erratically”. I was probably tired.

Anyway, the policeman was polite and friendly enough and, above all, let me go!

Still, how long before one has to blow into devices even in the car to test both sobriety and wakefulness?

True, sleepiness, like intoxication, can be dangerous to both a driver and to others, but sometimes these State control measures go too far, and destroy all freedom and pleasure in life.

Incidentally, that was both the first and the last time that I was breathalyzed. I rarely have even one drink now if driving (and drink little generally in any case). The only time in my life when I would have been driving actually intoxicated on a regular basis would have been when living in the Caribbean for a while, nearly a quarter-century ago. A few mojitos and a few daiquiris can seriously impair your driving ability…

Written by Timothy Garton Ash [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Garton_Ash], someone whom I have always thought a rather sinister individual (from a distance— I have never met or seen him).

I am at least assuming (for now) that what we read there, in that Guardian piece, is effectively the sort of judgment (about aid and assistance to the Kiev regime) being channeled to Downing Street by SIS.

I shall believe it when I see it, but Proportional Representation is the only way to restore, to some extent, the credibility of the pseudo-democratic circus in the UK.

An army, however huge, well-motivated, and well-equipped, against a nuclear power, even one which may not be ideologically-motivated or efficient, is little more than a display of strength which may become a field of cinders.

The sections of that Ukrainian-language graphic are, from top, Black Sea, Sea of Azov, and Mediterranean Sea. Presumably all or most ships etc are from the Black Sea Fleet.

Good to see young people on the right track. That tweeter now has over 89,000 Twitter “followers”.

See my assessment from a few years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/11/15/when-reality-becomes-subjective/.

Looks similar to the village of Dunsford, not far away, where I once stayed for about a third of each month when on “kommandirovka” (i.e. work journeys, as a barrister based in Exeter) from my then home in Brittany.

Seems long ago now. I was last there in 2008.

Clever idea. BTW, I have no financial interest in the product!

The “trans” nonsense has just become absolutely ridiculous in the UK and USA.

Leaving “Madame Hatchet” aside, that is quite right, but what is not said in the tweet is that any visionaries are frozen out by the System, and also attacked relentlessly by, mostly, the Jew-Zionist element and its “antifa” “useful idiots”…

Not so sure that the graph does show that, but I cannot think of many people or types of people, who would go out and vote Conservative Party at present, certainly not from active approbation of Conservative Party policy or actual rule. The most the Con Party can hope for is that there are enough people who actively oppose the Labour Party to mitigate the losses.

Even the “stop the migration-invasion” policy (re the cross-Channel invasion) has been proven to be pretty much hot air. The invaders still flood in, aided and abetted by those who could be called many things but “traitor” is closest, albeit in the “non-legal” sense.

It is very doubtful that Starmer-Labour will do any better in any area than the present bunch of idiots but, as a plea to the voters, that is not much to say…

Once again, a battle based not on which party is most popular but which party is least popular. Not very inspiring.

Good grief. I wonder whether that always works. After all, you only get one chance.

Might be useful sometime.

Various UK institutions such as the civil service, police, CPS, legal professions, judiciary, RNLI, even the National Trust are, so to speak, “riddled with traitors“.
