Well, this week a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I scored 7/10, and did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, and 8.

Well over half the adult population of the UK get at least some of their income from social security “welfare” benefits. If you include state pensions in the definition, the figure must be over 60%. Attack people’s survival at your peril, Starmer-stein.

Yes, Farage, as a finance-capitalist promoter, also wants to reduce the “welfare bill”, but if Starmer thinks that the way to stop Reform UK is to say “they will do it too“, he is certainly very mistaken.

There is a necessity to move towards some kind of Basic Income system, once the connected immigration and migration-invasion issue is fully sorted-out.

I have already predicted that on the blog. Look at the House of Lords. Already over 800 members, and by 2029 could be 900 or more. Not one adheres to Reform UK. Farage could either abolish the Lords, or create 1,000 new peers. If he does neither, he may well find any radical legislation blocked.

Correction, Goodwin— 600 so far today. Probably 1,000 of the bastards by the close of play.

Options include sterilization, concentration, deportation, and elimination.

Britain has no need for any new housing at all. What it needs is fewer inhabitants. Fewer (no) migrant-invaders, more (none at present) remigration, more (not much happening at present) deportation, and (not happening at present) elimination of greedy developers.

“Small boat” arrivals are only about 5% of all arrivals by migrants. Concentrating on the “small boats” (however necessary that is) often misses the bigger problem, which is “legal” immigration, and also births to non-Europeans.

The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-2,000 troops on the front-lines every single day. Therefore, the Kiev-regime’s press-gangs abduct potentially-suitable, if unwilling, “recruits” off the streets.

The “recruits” know that to be posted to the front-lines is an almost-guaranteed death sentence, so they fight their abductors, or try to flee. Most fail, and are carted away to be brutally subdued, then given a few weeks of rudimentary training before ending up in the squalid ranks of other impressed “soldiers” on those front-lines. Low or no pay, little food, and an open-ended commitment. No wonder that several hundred thousand have deserted in the past 3+ years.

Russia is winning this unpleasant war; it cannot afford to lose and will not lose, despite its army’s deficiencies.

Quite good, though I could have done without the howling.

Meanwhile, the Jew-Zionists in the UK, such as that dead-eyed woman in Brighton who is very prolific on Twitter/X, say “oh, look, the ‘Pals’ say that we, the Jews, Israeli Jews, are literally starving to death children in Gaza, but here is one starved child in Gaza who may have died from a pre-existing rare medical condition! So the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza are lying!“…

I do not think that “they”, or most of them, even really see themselves, they are so indoctrinated.

…and what about the tens of thousands of Arab children killed by bombing, shooting (including deliberate and sadistic targeting) etc by the Israeli forces over the past 3 years alone?

It’s almost as if, er, “that man” (you know who) was right…

Iran is trying to produce viable nuclear weapons, and is pushing ahead with production of thousands, tens of thousands, of drones, as well as advanced medium to long-range rockets with high-grade conventional warheads in large numbers. When the time comes, the rockets will rain down on Israel. Israel is doomed.

There is a connection, unexplored by any msm “journalists”, connecting “antifascism” and “antifascists”, Zionist Jewish and pro-Israel loonies, and mental illness generally. I blogged about it years ago:

A Labour Friends of Israel member in a Labour Friends of Israel government. Join the dots…

Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer (both active members of Labour Friends of Israel) listening with apparent respect to the Chief Rabbi of the UK (who was born in South Africa, lived for many years in Israel, and then in Ireland, before arriving in this country).

Of course, Prime Minister’s Questions, invented in fairly recent times [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister%27s_Questions] has become a meaningless ping-pong match and televised spectacle for the masses (in 10-second or 20-second extracts on TV news). It accomplishes little. From that understanding, it is but a step to recognizing the uselessness of Parliament itself.

Once Reform tries and fails to do more than, say, 10% of what is necessary (not just on migration invasion, but across the waterfront), real social nationalism can arise, for the first time since the 1930s.

Wall. Squad. End. (would have been the correct sentence).

The 2026 local elections, which will include parts of Solihull, will probably prove a wipe-out for both Lab and Con. It looks as though Reform’s time has come.

More Israeli war crimes, with yet more upcoming. What a horrible tribe.

I have seen replies to Goodwin’s tweet, those saying that Lucy Connolly would be disqualified from standing by reason of having been sentenced to, or detained for, more than one year. That is not so. Now that she has been released, there is no legal or constitutional bar on her standing for election as an MP.

It would just be brilliant were Lucy Connolly to stand against Yvette Cooper and win. I think it would be possible. Yvette Cooper got a 47.5% vote-share in 2024, with Reform in —fairly good— second place on 29.1%. The Con candidate was well behind on 15%. However, turnout was a mere 48.2%.

Bearing in mind Yvette Cooper’s incompetent showing as Home Secretary, the fall in support for Labour, and the collapse in support for the Conservative Party, it is not implausible to guess that, at the next General Election, the result in that constituency might be to return Lucy Connolly for Reform UK with maybe 50% of the vote, Yvette Cooper for Labour getting maybe 35%, and the Con candidate 5%.

Tactical voting might well play a part. A Con vote in that constituency is a wasted vote now. Also, as said, in 2024, fewer than half of the eligible voters even voted (48.2%), indicating extreme disenchantment with both Lab and Con, the previous main contenders there (in a differently-named constituency on somewhat different boundaries).

Lucy Connolly might be able to do it, I think.

Well, this week another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a modest 4/10; I scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, 6, and 9. I really should have got question 3, but did not, so 6/10 it is.

News from the migration invasion

Keep importing inferior populations from the worst parts of the world and you will soon see how fragile civilization is— and I do not mean by reason of protests or other resistance by English people. I mean that the sheer weight of numbers of the migrant-invaders and the nature of their cultural, political, and religious norms will destroy our civilized, white European, English/British society utterly, even if there were to be no more protests at all by English/British people.

You can see what is already happening in our society, and again I am not referring to the protests. Consider what this society will be like in 4, 5, 10, 20, 50 years. Dystopian.

50,000 a year. That was in the late 1960s. 50,000. Now it is a million or more (invaders, of all kinds) every year, twenty times as high as the figure cited by Powell in 1968. Moreover, those immigrants, alien though they were (and their descendants are), were from Commonwealth countries formerly part of our great Empire. Many of the present migrants, especially the rubber-boat invaders, are even more alien. Afghans, various types of Arabs, other Muslims, and Africans from, literally, “Darkest Africa” (Congo, Liberia etc); those, and every other kind of non-European.

Incredibly, despite his interventions on the world stage having been either negative or a complete joke, Starmer-stein still seems to imagine that he is some kind of world statesman…

Good, but that becomes impossible when the UK is being swamped by a million or more migrant-invaders (rubber boat invaders, other asylum-seekers, visa-holders who are economic migrants, births to non-Europeans and to British women impregnated by non-Europeans) every single year.

As Lenin said, “Worse will be better“. First, get rid of the main System parties by the voters voting for Reform UK in huge numbers, thus allowing Reform to get into power.

Secondly, after Reform fails to take the measures necessary because riddled with Jewish lobby and other non-European influences and candidates, or because Reform’s legislation is blocked in the Lords (where Reform is not represented at all— zero peers out of 836 sitting), or blocked by hostile senior judges, the frustrated will of the people will provide the chance for real social nationalism to arise.

The fox escaped the hunters that time, thank God. People know that to be sent to the crumbling front lines of the Kiev regime is a death sentence. 800,000 are hiding from the draft inside Ukraine.

In that short video, the hunted man pulls open the gate, but the hunters try to open it by pushing at it. Pretty much the intellectual level of the Kiev-regime army…

What on Earth does John McTernan think that national and other flags are all about?! They are about a group identity, as against other identities (whether that group is also part of another identity, with another flag, or not). Someone should tell him before he makes an idiot of himself on national TV (again).

I do not think I ever saw the flag of St. George until one day, when I was about 7, about 1963, I was near St. Peter’s, Caversham (Church of England), on the other side of the Thames from Reading. I noticed the flag flying from the ancient tower. I had no idea what it even was.

This terrible and bitter war should never have happened. Russia should have done what the old Soviet Union was famous for— a swift and overwhelming onslaught and occupation, “a Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy”, if you like. The Russian General Staff, Army, and GRU (etc) messed it up, terribly. It should never have been like this. Civilians and their companion animals should never have been hurt or killed. Having said that, we are in this situation. Russia must come out on top, even if that falls short of both total victory and a perfect post-conflict settlement.

The collapse of the Kiev regime armies and the regime itself cannot now be far off.

Quite (both).

Stray thoughts

Saw brief interview, on either Sky News or BBC News, with one Steve Smith, yesterday, interviewed from his home in rural Cornwall. He is the CEO of Care4Calais, the pro-migration invasion “charity”, which has been repeatedly censured for mismanagement, misapplication of funds etc, though mostly or entirely prior to Smith’s leadership role.

Smith’s predecessor, Clare Moseley, was so fanatically pro-invader that, in France, she allowed one or two invaders to share her bed on many occasions, and not innocently. She also ripped off the “charity”, stealing over £340,000: see https://www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/care4calais-founder-dual-role-criticised-in-charity-commission-inquiry.html.

A former Army colonel, the said Smith came across on TV news as what many might term a “smug git” and, after all, no-one is going to make him, in his rural Cornish idyll, live in some festering UK urban slum area alongside migrant-invaders from backward parts of the world.

Incidentally, interesting how Smith, a former defence intelligence specialist, is involved at all. This migration invasion has been, on some level, planned.

In other words, should “WW3” break out because of the crazy UK/EU support for the Kiev regime, Western/Central Europe is on its own, and the USA will not be getting into a nuclear war with Russia, whatever happens to the UK, France, Germany etc.

Final evening thought

I have no idea whether Trump is dead or alive, but if he is dead, J.D. Vance will automatically take on the mantle of President and head of state of the USA. This is him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Vance.

Most important provisional take, for me: Vance, should be become U.S. President, might cut off funds and arms to the Kiev regime.

Myerson’s comment is improper. He should be reported (again) to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/.

Also, there should be reform of this whole outdated and degraded “KC” stuff.

In the 1920s, only a few (3 or 4) KCs were granted “letters patent” annually. Back then, to be “KC” really meant something. Today, almost everyone and his dog sports the “KC” label:

In 1959, there were 181 practising Queen’s Counsel. Between 1966 and 1970, the number of practising QCs increased from 208 to 262. Wikipedia states that this number continued to grow, reaching 404 in 1978 and 601 in 1989.

From 1991 to 2000, the number of practising QCs steadily rose from 736 to 1072. In 1995, 71 QCs were appointed.

In 2006, 175 QCs were appointed out of 443 applicants. 33 of these were women, 10 were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and 4 were solicitors.

Between 1995 and 2023, data shows fluctuation in appointments, ranging from 60 in 1998 to 175 in 2006.

In 2021, 101 KCs (previously QCs) were appointed, including five solicitors.

In 2023 and 2022, 95 KCs were appointed in each year.

In 2024, 95 new KCs were appointed.

In 2025, 105 KCs were appointed, representing the biggest cohort in four years.

Efforts are ongoing to increase diversity among KC appointees, with the Bar Council actively encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and tracking statistics on women, ethnic minority lawyers, and those with disabilities.

[Google AI/Wikipedia]

The “KC” label is now almost worthless, though of course merely being a barrister is even less valuable…

Thousands of persons are now carrying the rank “KC”. Degradation, as with titles such as “lord”, “sir” etc…

“Coalition of the Clowns”.

Anyone deliberately starting large-scale wildfires must be dealt with severely.

“French“? Even Goodwin is, apparently, still infected by politically-correct nonsense-language.

(and, no, I don’t care whether the untermensch may possess a piece of paper saying that he is “French”…).

[“A significant number of British and English people are spontaneously “raising the colours” —flying Union Jack and St George’s Flags on their streets and outside their homes This should be seen for what it is —an act of resistance against mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, the decision by politicians to house illegal migrants in the heart of their communities, and the loss of their national identity. The English philosopher Sir Roger Scruton once said “the English are reluctant to display their identity — reluctant to sing their national anthem, to wave their flag, or to affirm their nationhood … But the cost of this reluctance is the steady erosion of something precious —a shared first-person plural.” What he meant by that was the erosion of a “we” —the erosion of a community, an identity, a home. And this is precisely what millions of British and English people now feel, even if many do not yet want to say it out loud—that we are losing a very precious sense of “we”. Mass immigration, open borders, a state policy of multiculturalism that prioritises minorities over the majority, cultural fragmentation, and an aggressive globalism that wants you to believe the only thing that defines people from these islands is not our own distinctive identity, culture, and history but merely welcoming others and celebrating “diversity” … all this has left many people feeling utterly bewildered, lost, demoralised, and in a place that no longer looks or feels like home. This is why some people in Britain and England, on streets like the one below, are “raising the colours”. By flying their flags they are letting us all know that they do exist, they do belong, they do have a home, and there is a “we” they want to reassert and protect, no matter how much the elite class want them and you to think otherwise.“]

“Raise the banners!”…

More Israeli war crimes.

[“Every single Jewish doctor who followed me for at least 6 years, often DMing me for a chat, has either unfollowed or blocked me recently for calling Gaza what it is -an atrocity. Not one of them has ever mentioned starving children in their tweets yet we’ve heard plenty about the hostages. I’m sorry but you shouldn’t be in medicine – they all were (rightly) devastated by the anti-semitism of colleagues after 7/10 yet have shown no empathy whatsoever for innocent Palestinian kids dying of starvation and disease. I’ve kept a very balanced view, sympathy for all sides, always fighting anti-semitism hard but Israel has gone way too far and if you’re standing by that, you’ve lost your way, precious few Israelis are. Israel & Netanyahu are fuelling anti-semitism not girls with leukaemia. If you cannot take a balanced view I don’t want your follow anyway. And tragically the actions of Israel have made it highly unlikely any more hostages will be got out alive.“]

Looks like someone is belatedly and reluctantly coming to certain conclusions about “them”…

Of course, Washington D.C. is largely non-white anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Demographics. Not entirely, though. European-origined people are about 38% of the population, and many more reside in the suburbs, in the states of Maryland and Virginia; places such as McLean.

I have to admit that some of that was new to me.

Yes, and not because Farage or Reform are anything much, but simply because the main System parties are hated now, held in utter contempt, and rightly so.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

Britain is little better, these days. The influence of Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby orgs is pervasive, not only in politics but also in the mass media, law, and other areas of society.

Stunning. Translates to about 394 MPs for Reform UK, an official majority of 68, in reality about 80.

Labour 83 MPs (the lowest predicted in recent times, I believe; in 1931, Labour scored only 52 MPs). Labour’s predicted 83 MPs result is all the more stunning following Starmer-Labour’s 411 MPs, elected only a year ago, at GE 2024.

LibDems are predicted to get 56 MPs, Cons 43, SNP 40, Greens 8 (etc).

As I have been saying for years on the blog, we in the UK, particularly in England, are in a negative-voting situation, in which people vote against, not for.

It just so happens that both the main System parties have pretty much burned their boats with the voting public. That does not mean that people really enthuse much about Reform UK and Farage etc. It means, simply, that most white English people, especially, are now completely hostile to both Lab and Con. They are willing to vote Reform as a last throw of the “democratic” dice. If —and when— Reform govern, or try to govern, and fail, then the people will be ready to turn to a proper social national alternative.

This puts Farage and Reform in a strong position. Because people are well aware that Farage and Reform and, indeed, most Reform candidates, MPs etc, are rather underwhelming, little scandal can really touch them, because the voters seem now very ready to vote against both Lab and Con, and because Reform is the only game in town that carries any weight at present, electorally.

I agree, overall. However, the pro-Reform vote is really, and as Goodwin’s own argument shows, a vote against the System parties and against mass immigration, inter alia. It is not really a vote for any particular policy programme.

Not that that really matters in electoral terms. If it comes to pass, that poll means that 328 Labour MPs will be binned in or before 2029, as will 77 Conservative Party MPs (including Alex Burghart, James Cleverly, Dunce Duncan Smith, Christopher Chope, Mel Stride, Simon Hoare, Helen Whately, David Davis, Caroline Dineage, Kit Malthouse, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne, Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy, Andrew Mitchell, Katie Lam, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and, last but not least, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch herself).

If it happens, that must mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious political force, notwithstanding its long history and the predicted bloc of 43 surviving the cull of two-thirds of the Con Party MPs.

Even now, in 2025, the Conservative Party appears totally irrelevant.

The predicted huge cull of Labour MPs would include such names as Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst (one of the most “controlled” Israel puppets), John McDonnell, Bridget Phillipson, Wes Streeting, Rachel “from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Chris Bryant, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Heidi Alexander, Angela Eagle, Lisa Nandy, and Emma Reynolds.

Many deserving “victims” there, most of them Israel-lobby puppets.

Any barrister, at least any barrister grounded in reality (I myself am no longer any kind of barrister, a wrongful and unlawful disbarment having been instigated by a pack of Jews in 2016), can tell you why a jury has acquitted that anti-white black agitator who called openly in the street for white British people to have their throats cut.

The chances are that the jury was mainly or entirely composed of non-whites. I used to appear from time to time at Snaresbrook Crown Court in the early 1990s and, in 1992, as a Bar pupil (trainee), was there several times a month, my pupillage having been part-criminal.

[Me as newly-minted barrister, 1992 or 1993, when I was often to be found in places such as Snaresbrook Crown Court; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaresbrook_Crown_Court]

Even in the 1990s, the juries at Snaresbrook were often, in fact usually, at least partly non-white. Scroll on about 32 or 33 years and one can imagine that that is now even more the case.

Add to that the fact that many jurors in London are now people who are quite opposed to “law and order” generally (and that applies even more to Snaresbrook Crown Court, the catchment area for jurors of which being East London; Snaresbrook has a relatively high acquittal rate).

Remember the O.J. Simpson original trial in California? Despite the American msm bs (I was in the USA at the time), the fact is that the defence, shorn of a huge amount of (mostly) nonsense, amounted to “the victim was white, the defendant black, so the black jury should acquit the black of killing the white“. Which is what happened.

From an original jury pool of 40 percent white, 28 percent black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 15 percent Asian, the final jury for the trial had ten women and two men, of whom nine were black, two white, and one Hispanic.” [Wikipedia].

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_trial_of_O._J._Simpson

Society in the UK is going the same way, mutatis mutandis.

Incidentally, this is what that half-caste incited:

…and look at all those white English people, many of them women, weak “me-too” idiots, clapping as the untermensch incited throat-slitting British people. They should all be in a concentration camp, as should the untermensch.

That is the sort of brainless bimbo we are expected to accept should rule over us via the EU or other supra-national body. Another one is the former Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, a complete idiot. Both puppets of NWO/ZOG, of course.

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

The monster will, in effect, do about 1 month inside for every sexual assault he has done, or rather the ones in respect of which he was caught and convicted. There will inevitably be other offences for which he was neither caught nor convicted.

The monster will be out in about 7-8 months, if not 6 months. My solution? Wall. Squad. End.

Backward untermenschen of his type should not be living in this country at all.

If truth be known, I had no idea that either was still alive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Penhaligon; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayley_Mills.

I used to go occasionally to the very small (and now shut down by reason of spending cuts) Penzance County Court about 18-23 years ago. I think the last case I did there was about the loss, and valuation, of a rather expensive diamond ring.

Penzance is OK, but I do not think I should like to live there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penzance.

Incidentally, among the courts closed since 2010 have been the following (see link): https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-02-07/119601.

Adjournments.

In any case, a judicial review has the quasi-automatic consequence that criminal or civil cases likely to be affected by the outcome are stayed until the judicial review (and any appeal from the decision therefrom) is decided.

It would be good were reporters, journalists etc to know a little basic law before they start to comment.

I noticed that some Jew called Krassenstein, with a million “followers” on Twitter/X, has tweeted that the U.S. Government should have had Putin shot by a sniper after his plane landed in Alaska. Hard to believe that an idiot like that could be taken seriously (?) by a million people, even if they are American.

Historical note

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/25387121.horrific-murder-case-spanish-flu-bournemouth/

It was a unique illness that globally killed millions. Commonly known as Spanish flu, it so overwhelmed Mary Wiseman that in delirium, she not only cut her own throat but also stabbed her baby daughter.

[Bournemouth Echo]

Well worth reading.

Incidentally, as that report makes plain, the “Spanish Flu” (which in fact seems to have originated in the USA, specifically in Kansas) is variously estimated to have killed anywhere from 17 to 50 million people worldwide (including 200,000 in the UK), which certainly puts the “Covid” “panicdemic” in perspective.

While 200,000+ are supposed to have died “with Covid” in the UK over the five years 2020-2025 (mostly in 2020-2022), almost all of those deaths were in fact from other causes and/or from normal winter influenza (reclassified, in effect, as “Covid” deaths).

Did the authorities of 1918-1919 “lock down” the country, or the world? No. Life continued.

I happened to notice that a blog post from several years ago had a few hits this morning. I took a look and saw the following paragraphs written by me. Still correct, I think…

Definitions: “British expat“— someone who lives and works temporarily in another country/society, or retires there with a pension and/or capital, or goes to live in another closely-connected white society such as Australia or New Zealand. Will have arrived in that country lawfully, and is almost invariably an asset to the host country.

Migrant“, aka “migrant-invader“— today usually a black or brown person, who may or may not have arrived lawfully in the UK (or other white European-race country), who will almost invariably have no capital or income, and will almost certainly be a drain on the public funds of the UK or other unwillingly-hosting country. The invader will either be unwilling to work (except for extra and untaxed cash while also claiming State welfare benefits), or be unable to work at anything beyond the lowest grade of employment by reason of having few if any marketable skills, no usable qualifications, and often little or no English language proficiency. A millstone round the neck of the UK (etc).

Anyone who equates “Brit expat” with black/brown migrant-invader is not only very mistaken, but a complete idiot (and/or malicious).”

Thought for the day

The so-called “Glorious 12th”, start of the grouse season. A “sport” of which I disapprove, so good luck to all grouse today.

There are those who claim that shooting helps conservation of a number of species [see, e.g. https://www.sykeshousefarm.co.uk/news_stories/why-grouse-is-becoming-more-exclusive-than-ever/] but I feel that there are other ways to do that. In the end, I just feel that to take pleasure in shooting a creature, a warm-blooded one at that, is morally wrong.

In the years 2002-2008, when I was a barrister based in Exeter and (2002-2006) living on the Cornwall/Devon border, prime shooting territory, several of my colleagues in chambers shot. I recall one incident when one member of chambers shot a pheasant which then fell on the head of either his wife or someone else’s wife (I think the latter), the lady in question being knocked out as a consequence.

I cannot now recall whether the shooter was or was not the person who later had an affair with the lady in question, who later left the one barrister for the other (causing a big kefuffle in chambers, as might be imagined; however, this being England and not Texas or the Caucasus, no-one opened fire on anyone else, and no blood was spilt).

Awkward, and I quite liked all three members of chambers involved (one involved simply as another gun on the fateful day; the lady involved was not a barrister, though I think that I did meet her once).

In fact, as someone who does not interfere with other people if it can be avoided, and because in those years I spent half my time at my then home in Finistere, or elsewhere, I was apparently the only member of Chambers for some time unaware of the personal upset that had occurred (though I had heard about the earlier, pheasant-caused, injury).

I spent several days at Canakkale town in 2001, having driven from England (and then on to Mediterranean Turkey), a more difficult drive at that time than it now is, Turkey, in the past quarter-century, having constructed all sorts of motorways and bridges where none previously existed. Also, most of the states of Eastern Europe were then not in the EU or the Schengen Zone.

Ukraine news

In what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance units punched through exposed defences in eastern Ukraine, slipping as far as six miles behind the front line in just 48 hours, according to battlefield reports.

Kyiv has diverted special forces units to confront the insurgents on the ground in an attempt to prevent any more of Ukraine falling under Russia’s control before the summit in Alaska.

The location, near Dobropillya in Donetsk, is strategically significant. If Moscow’s forces are able to establish a foothold, the breach could allow Russia to cut off the city of Kramatorsk, one of the most vital strongholds in the Donbas still under Kyiv’s control.

If the city falls, it would give Putin almost full control over the Donbas and strengthen his negotiating power when bargaining over Ukraine’s fate with the Trump administration.

Sliding standards in “diverse” Britain

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14986419/Students-university-Es-level-Government-diversity-targets.html

Students with A-level grades as low as three Es are being enrolled at universities to hit Government diversity targets, data reveals.

Figures from admissions body UCAS show many top universities…are accepting severely underperforming students in a bid to fulfil equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) targets.

The practice has become widespread across the sector after the Government-sponsored Office for Students (OfS) regulator urged universities to be more ‘ambitious’ in ‘reducing inequality’.

Typically, universities let in students with lower grades – making a ‘contextual offer’ – if they reveal on their UCAS form that they suffered disadvantage. A handful also take into account race or gender.

[Daily Mail]

This is how standards across the board in society start to slide. Not dramatically. Gradually. A gradual acceptance of the inferior. You see it everywhere now. Academia, including both universities and schools. The Bar. The Church of England. MPs (of all parties in Parliament). “Journalism” (newspaper scribbling). Administration generally, both public and private.

When Pernille Sohl was faced with the upsetting and difficult decision of what to do with her daughter’s ailing pony, she could’ve taken it to the vet.

But instead, the Danish mother decided to travel to the local zoo to be fed to the lions. 

The 44-year-old took the pony along to northern Denmark’s Aalborg Zoo, one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions, to dispose of the family pet.”

Whatever the logical justifications, that strikes me as cold and sick.

Incidentally (and, today, typically), the Mail’s report is only semi-literate. Look at the second paragraph/sentence for further proof, if more were needed, that the 20-something scribblers now called “journalists” cannot write English properly. That sentence makes it seem that the woman decided to go to the zoo to feed herself to the lions!

“Police have been condemned for seeing a father at home to ‘warn’ him about attending a protest against illegal migrants – despite one officer apologetically admitting that the visit was ‘b*******’.

Two West Midlands Police officers visited the man in Coventry to hand him a leaflet about ‘correct’ behaviour expected at public demonstrations.

But one is in trouble after door-cam footage recorded him calling the visit ‘b*******’ and adding: ‘It’s not something I agree with, but I’ve been asked to do it.’

The officer says he has been sent to give him a leaflet. He adds, laughing: ‘It sounds daft, so I apologise, and it’s really woeful. It’s not something I agree with but I’ve been asked to do it.’

[Daily Mail]

That is akin to what happened to me about a year ago. A uniformed policeman came to my door and confronted me with a print-out of some alleged tweets, while explaining that there was “no need to worry” because the matter had already been “NFA’d” [“No Further Action”].

The tweets were not very literate, very much not similar to my own writing style, and seemed to be a criticism of someone (as far as I could see, unnamed).

The policeman would not let me examine the alleged tweets in detail once I had explained to him, in terms, that I had once had a Twitter account but that Jews had had me expelled in 2018, and that the last time I had tweeted anything was therefore in 2018. In other words, the alleged tweets could not have been from me.

I presumed at the time that that incident had been triggered by yet another false accusation or complaint by some Jew, as has happened to me several times over the past decade or so. I still think so, but heard no more from the police about it.

So that policeman had completely wasted his time coming to see me about alleged tweets which were anyway obviously not unlawful (and therefore had been binned as requiring No Further Action by the police). So why even talk to me?

Incidentally, I was unable to see my name anywhere on that document, in the brief seconds when I looked at it. I have no idea why the police even thought that it had anything to do with me (assuming that they did in fact think that).

If I had not regularly followed the news from the front, I would have concluded from this plan that Ukraine, if not winning, would at least play to a draw. This is completely unrealistic, a distortion of reality, a utopia and a dream. I believe that Trump should ignore Western leaders and make peace with Putin, ignoring the unrealistic European living room.“]

[“Zelensky will do everything to prevent a peaceful resolution of the conflict “He does this because he profits from the conflict and justifies the absence of elections with military actions. The USA needs to understand – a change of power in Ukraine through elections is necessary”, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky.

He believes that the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Finland, as well as the leadership of the European Commission, are once again trying to disrupt the peace process. “Globalists demonstrate negative subjectivity: they do not know how to build their own, but they destroy others’ peace efforts”, he added.“]

We must step back from a devastating conflict that might take our civilization back tens of thousands of years. The firtst thing to do is to cut of arms, ammunition, and money from the Zelensky regime.

Genuine humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families is acceptable, despite the fact that it also, to some extent, helps the Kiev-regime war effort. Humane behaviour needs to survive in war.

Thus we see the constant pro-immigration propaganda across Europe.

People are fighting back in various ways, sometimes via political parties and elections, sometimes via direct action, and even on the individual level, as we saw in Norway quite a few years ago.

Maybe, but Reform is currently running somewhere between 28% and 34%. That is really all it needs to triumph, in the absence of one really strong opposing party. At present, the Labour Party is running between 22% and 25%, while the once-great Conservative Party languishes somewhere below 20%, most recently 15%.

It may well be that the younger voters, the teens and twenty-somethings, will not much favour Reform, overall, but many of that age group do not vote, a trend likely to stay in place while the System parties are so uninspiring or even despised.

If Reform has a ceiling of 35% or even 30% (and we do not know as yet whether that will prove to be the case), that will probably still be enough to give Reform a Commons majority, looking at where the other main/System parties are.

It seems to me unlikely that the Conservative Party can ever recover, because its demographic and ideological bases are eroding daily. To get from 15%-19% public support, where it now is, to the —at lowest— 28% which might give it a Commons majority, is unlikely. Indeed, under Nigerian chancer Kemi Badenoch, its share of potential general election votes seems more likely to decline than to increase.

As to Labour, despised, held in contempt by many, but with support still from the ethnic minority blocs, and from the public service employees, particularly NHS people, who alone number in the hundreds of thousands:

“England’s NHS is the largest employer in Europe, with one in every 25 adults in England working for the NHS.[46] Nursing staff accounted for the largest cohort at more than 330,000 employees, followed by clinical support staff at 290,000, scientific and technical staff at 163,000 and physicians at 133,000.” [Wikipedia]

That is the NHS in England, i.e. excluding Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

A significant voting bloc, and mostly voting Labour.

Labour is currently running at public support of around 20%-25%, but might be able to recover to 30% or higher, in principle. It won the 2024 General Election on only 33.7%, so the devil is, as it often is, very much in the detail.

If both Labour and Reform were around 30%, then both would probably end up with 250-300 seats. Hung Parliament.

At present, though, Reform is still the only game in town, and the others are scrabbling to catch up in a societal situation where nothing seems to be improving for the voters.

Starmer-stein, a little man trying to play it big on the world stage. Meanwhile, the UK is gradually collapsing.

To my mind, it is not whether some form of untidy, messy social/civil/racial/cultural war will break out in the UK, but when, and what form or forms that conflict might take.

The Kiev regime is losing, effectively has lost, on the battlefield, but the BBC, Sky News etc are still feeding their viewers rubbish from paid pseudo-experts (in Kiev, London, Washington) who are still pushing the line that it is Russia that is losing and cannot continue.

I hope that Russia continues until it has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Latest about the James Wilson defamation case (which he won), and about dishonest and negligent solicitor “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and others

Both the Bar and the solicitors’ profession run scared of the Jew-Zionists these days. The Bar of England and Wales was once full of barristers of courage and principle. No more. Barristers are now almost all pathetic people. The Bar is now also, of course, riddled with the Jewish element.

“They” have killed the Bar as something worthwhile, just as they have killed off so much else in the UK and elsewhere.

Could she? More to the point, could he?

When Lewis was censured and fined by a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 for abusing people online, including some Jews (he then fled, or pretended to flee, to Israel), his own (unpaid) Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis should not be fined too much because his sole assets were his own clothes, a used mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. The Tribunal reduced his fine accordingly (other Jews paid it).

Lewis is a total fake, a fraudster really, yet fanatical pro-Israel Jews are still to be seen on Twitter/X puffing his entirely invented reputation.

“They” worm their way into society, professions, universities, politics, the justice system, and destroy everything worthwhile in them.

As to Daniel Berke, “Berke by name and berk by nature”, in the old joke.

I should imagine that, after her own past and disappointing experiences using the services of “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, Rachel Riley will steer well clear!

If she “genuinely believed” that, she cannot be much of a journalist! See:

Lewis should have been struck off the solicitors’ roll years ago.

Not another fraudulent (((Patron Law))) lawyer?! What a surprise…

Why is that one also still in practice?

“Mark Lewis Lawyer” is both incompetent and totally dishonest (and now both mentally and physically incapable).

I should wager that now-washed-up one-time radio presenter and Z-list “celebrity”, Caroline Feraday, is thanking her lucky stars all the same that she dumped and divorced Lewis (the marriage lasted a year, back in or about 2013). Anyway, I believe that Lewis psychologically and physically abused her, so I expect she is glad to have got shot of the bastard after a short while.

Patron Law— just another pack of dishonest Jews. As to those named solicitors from the Mills and Reeve firm, I do not know, and have never heard of them.

If Berke trusted Lewis’s competence, then he can be no more competent than Lewis himself. Any potential clients of “3D Solicitors” take note…

Subjective, yes of course. Anecdotal too, were details to be considered. However, consider the cultural riches of Russia: composers, writers, painters, philosophers and other thinkers. Now consider the Ukrainian equivalent. Frankly, there is no comparison.

This is the sort of thing that happens when free speech is attacked via not only misguided or deliberately-totalitarian anti-free speech laws but also via policy determinations that have no basis in law whatever, as with “non-crime hate incidents”. “Hate crime” itself has no real basis in law; even less so has “non-crime hate” etc.

This is akin to, parallel to, what happened during the 2020-2022 “Covid” hysteria— government wishes, or preferences, labelled as “official guidance”, and all of that farrago confused with actual law, and then “enforced” arbitrarily by police woodentops who often had, and have, no idea either as to what is and what is not law, and who also often have an inflated idea of their own powers under law.

Talking about “Covid” and thinking back to the facemask loonies seen everywhere 2-3 years ago (though not so often now the msm propaganda hysteria has died down), I saw a typical one today in a supermarket: a middle-aged woman, very fat, hauling herself along slowly, while wearing her filthy, probably 3-years-old, cloth facemask, and pushing a large shopping trolley full of high-carb, high-fat foodstuffs.

Moscow travelogue

Very different from when I was not far from there several times in 1993 (in Leninsky Prospekt, at the Academy of Sciences). On my second and shorter trip to Moscow, in 2007, I was in another area of the city.

Whatever may be said about Putin, he has made Moscow a very much better city than it was either in 2007 or (a fortiori) 1993, when it was, palpably, on the edge of chaos.

Sovietism had to fall, after the years of gradual decline and the uselessness of Gorbachev. It fell into near-chaos, it was ravaged and pillaged by finance-capitalist carpetbaggers (mostly Jews) from the West, and also by (mostly Jewish) homegrown predators, the so-called “oligarchs”. Gangsterism too.

Putin put an end to much of that, certainly to the outright gangsterism (in 1993, in the Yeltsin era, I was staying in the same hotel, the Ukraina, as the top-level Chechen gangsters), but there are still huge social inequalities (and, worse yet, inequities) in Russia.

I feel that Russia is still in one of its states of transition. The situation will become clearer later.

I am not a “hanger and flogger”, usually, far from it, but the sentences handed down for quite bad crimes of violence are often risibly lenient. The public are rightly concerned.

Well, Corbyn proves, once again, that he is a bit of a political joke.

At present, Reform UK is between 28% and 34% in the opinion polls, which might result in anything between 200 and 400 MPs at a general election. Corbyn’s (I think as yet unnamed) “real Labour” party has not been much tested in opinion polls but seems to be somewhere between 5% and 10%.

That might result in anything from a couple of MPs (inc. Corbyn himself) and (at peak) half a dozen or so MPs. The likelihood is that Corbyn’s new party will take a small amount of support from Reform, far more from official Labour, and so give Reform maybe (?) a dozen more MPs.

The new and totalitarian Online Harms Act is already resulting in footage of protests being censored. LibLabCon MPs supported its passage.

Ha ha. “What goes around comes around”

Jew-Zionist troublemakers have been trying to censor British people for decades. They have been pressuring commercial venues to cancel shows by “antisemitic” and/or anti-Israel speakers, comedians, singers etc for at least half a century in the UK. People such as David Icke, such as the Jewish anti-Zionist jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, and hundreds if not thousands of others.

“Slitherman” and his “Campaign Against Antisemitism” co-conspirators are prominent in that sort of activity, and have been for at least 11 years.

As a matter of fact, the “CAA” was behind the “cancelling” of satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz at the Edinburgh Fringe several years ago, and dishonest/negligent Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, and his loudmouthed wife/carer, Mandy Blumenthal (aided and abetted by lying Daily Mail scribbler Sabrina Miller), were behind the attempted shutdown of black comedian Reginald D. Hunter last year (2024), also at the Edinburgh Fringe:

It is bumping along the bottom of its core support now. Most are very elderly people, and many of them will not even survive to see the next general election, still anything up to 4 years away. I feel that the Con Party is finished. It has lost relevance, and really much of its default credibility.

[A Rainy Day at Lower Regent Street, by Tushar Sabale]

Quite atmospheric.

The Foreign Office once had a kind of down-at-heel outstation in Lower Regent Street, a building called Charles House. Further down the street, out of view of that painting (behind where the artist must have stood), and on the other side of the street, a building so unmemorable that few will have noticed its departure. I do not think that it even had “Foreign and Commonwealth Office” on the outside, just “Charles House”.

I see now that, the outside obviously having been cleaned of a century of grime, it is currently, or was recently, being offered for commercial rental: https://www.gryphonpropertypartners.com/property-details/charles-house-5-11-regent-street-sw1/154.html

Just found it on Rightmove. Lease offered by something called Levy Properties or similar. Wouldn’t you know?…

The interior seen on Rightmove now looks very bright and open-plan, quite different to what it was in 1978 or 1979, when I had to go there once (some bureaucratic nonsense about my passport, which was being held by them).

The building was then very dark and gloomy, there were few if any people about, and the visitor (I was the only one, it seemed) was, and had to be, closely escorted by an unsmiling old dragon dressed in a dark-blue uniform, a bit like the female prison guards sometimes seen in old British films. The few windows were draped in thick and filthy net curtains (to deter both snoopers and bomb fragments; this was still IRA-terrorism days).

The dragon took me to the room in question, and waited for me outside, later escorting me back to the very unwelcoming front desk, and making sure I left.

What rudery! After all, Cleverly has a degree in Hospitality Management Studies from Ealing College of Higher Education, no less! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cleverly.

So the msm should stop saying that Russia is a threat to Europe.

[“NEW POST. Here are four things that just happened in Britain. A 24-year-old father was brutally stabbed to death in an affluent part of London after a man tried to steal his watch. An Albanian with 50 criminal convictions was allowed to stay in the country after a judge ruled his crimes were “not extreme enough”. A pensioner who said he “just wanted to go home” was beaten to death in Islington by three teenage girls who filmed the brutal assault on their phone for entertainment. And an asylum-seeker from Syria, Mohammed Wahid Mohammed, who was working illegally in Britain, repeatedly raped a 12-year-old girl in Birmingham. What do all these shocking, hideous, and truly awful cases have in common? They are all utterly depressing symbols of Lawless Britain —a chaotic, dark, degraded society that looks more like the fictional city Gotham than a modern, civilised nation. A place where the hardworking, law-abiding majority have completely had enough and which could easily decide the outcome of the next general election Welcome Lawless Britain“]

Goodwin may be right. It is getting to the point where whatever Farage and Reform do, what they fail to do, whatever deficiencies they display, people are just going to say, in effect, “the old parties have failed; time for something or someone else.”

[“The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump increasingly views Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “madman” who undermines Washington’s diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, reported “Axios”.

Despite the ceasefire, American officials have become significantly more disturbed by Netanyahu’s behavior and policies, “Axios” reported on Sunday, citing sources familiar with the situation. “Bibi behaved like a madman. He constantly bombs everything,” the newspaper quoted White House officials as saying.“]

I should imagine that the Israeli intelligence services find a fertile field for agent-recruitment in Iran, in view of the existing political tensions there. The big deterrent, for the potential agents, is of course what happens to them if they are caught.

France, more than any other country, is the preserver of traditional European culture (though UNESCO’s remit is of course wider than that).
