I was just watching one of the seemingly endless re-runs of the early 1970s historical documentary series, The World at War, and in particular the episode named Barbarossa (from Fall Barbarossa or Operation Barbarossa, named after Friedrich I, the Holy Roman Emperor of the 12th Century who led the Third Crusade against the infidels).
I of course remember watching the TV series when it first was broadcast, in 1973. Many will say that it is in many parts contaminated by what amounts to Jew-Zionist propaganda, and I do not dispute that. Others point out, in a connected critique, that every alleged wrong done by the German Reich and its forces is given great prominence, whereas the cruelties and barbarities of the Soviet regime are barely mentioned (I suppose that it could be argued that the most famous chronicles of those terrible times were not published in English until after The World at War was made: GULAG Archipelago, for one). The criticisms are valid, but one cannot write off The World At War because of those flaws.
The strength of The World at War was that many of the leading personalities on all sides, such as German, English and other general officers, admirals etc, some members of Hitler’s circle (eg Speer), and a host of lesser-ranked people, were all still alive in 1973, giving their filmed testimony weight and immediacy.
Anyway, this article is not meant to focus on The World at War alone, but to examine a couple of “what if?” situations, both in the war years of 1939-45 (for Russians and Americans, 1941-45) and at other times.
The drive to Moscow in 1941
When I was first in Moscow, in 1993, my assigned driver, Pasha (an insolent loutish youth, apropos of nothing) pointed out, as we drove into the city from Sheremetyevo airport, the tank trap memorial, 23 kilometres from the Kremlin on the Leningrad Highway (Leningradskoye Shosse). The memorial marks the supposed furthest point of advance of the German forces in 1941. We drove near to the Kremlin only about 15-20 minutes later.
In 1941, the town of Khimki (now effectively a suburb of Moscow) had only just (1939) been administratively created, and was little developed. Now, hundreds of thousands live close by. Even since I drove through in 1993 there has been further development. Indeed, in the photograph below, taken in a recent year, there can be seen an IKEA warehouse. What would Stalin have had to say about that?!
The proximity to central Moscow amazed me. Even if not true (as some say) that some German advance-reconnaissance motorcyclists advanced yet further, to a point where they could see the golden domes of the Kremlin churches, it is incredible to see how close the forces of the Reich came to capturing Moscow.
In 1941, flush with the victories in the West in 1940, Hitler intended to advance in Russia against 3 main objectives: Leningrad, Moscow, and also the Ukraine generally, with its huge natural resources of grain crops etc and (in the Don Basin or Donbass), coal.
Hitler at first prioritized Leningrad, followed by the Donbass, and only then Moscow. His generals disagreed, arguing that only a decisive blow against Moscow could achieve victory. There were cogent arguments for all three main objectives:
Leningrad: reasons based around morale (the city of the two 1917 Revolutions and in particular the second, Bolshevik, one; the city bearing the name of Lenin); also, the city without which the all-weather port of Murmansk could probably not be held. If Murmansk fell, there could be no Allied resupply of the Soviet Union except via the Soviet Far East. At that stage of the war, that alone might sink the Soviet regime;
Ukraine: grain supplies, coal, even oil (should German forces be able to advance beyond Ukraine; also, protection for the Romanian oilfields supplying Germany);
Moscow: in the highly-centralized Stalinist system of the Soviet Union, everything came from the centre. Indeed, in the earliest hours of Barbarossa, Soviet officers were heard in German intercepts begging Moscow for orders: “we are under attack; what shall we do?”…It might be that, were Moscow to fall, the Soviet Union would fall. Hitler himself had said that “all we need do is kick open the front door and the whole rotten structure will come tumbling down.”
I have to say that (of course with the knowledge of the decades since 1941) I would favour the Moscow option. Had Moscow fallen, the bubble of the regime would have burst. In a small way, the open panic of the NKVD and CPSU when they thought the Germans would soon be in Moscow, and which led to open rebelliousness on the part of ordinary Moscow inhabitants, leads me to think that a German capture of the city would have led to a rapid fall of the Soviet regime in all of European Russia and perhaps beyond.
In any case, without Moscow under Soviet control, Leningrad must surely have fallen too before very long.
Hitler thought that it was more important to defeat the Soviet armies in the field. European thinking, thinking from the constricted lands of Central and Western Europe. In the Russian space, those otherwise valid ideas become less valid. New armies can be (and were) raised from the vast areas beyond the Volga, beyond the Urals.
As for going for three objectives at once, it might, under other stars, have worked, but the cautious Russian proverb says “chase two hares and you will not catch one”…
Still, what if? What if Moscow had fallen in 1941? Without a two-front war, Germany could not have been defeated in the West. There could not have been the Normandy Landings of 1944, certainly not successfully. European Russia would have been under German control, and the wider expanses of the Soviet Union would probably have been invaded and taken by a Russian but anti-Soviet army such as the Vlasov Army, which might have been expanded to a formidable force. Also, the forces under Rommel in North Africa would have been able to have been hugely reinforced, with the heady strategic possibility that Rommel might have been able not only to take Alexandria, Cairo and the Suez Canal, but Jerusalem, Damascus and then drive up through the foothills of the Caucasus towards Baku and its oilfields, linking up with the forces of Army Group South driving South-East from Ukraine; German forces did occupy part of the Caucasus and even part of Kalmykia in 1942 (occupying Elista briefly).
Mainland Europe would, in that overall scenario, have avoided most of the destruction of 1941-1945. In time, there would no doubt have been peace made between the German Reich and the British Empire. The calamitous decolonization in Africa etc would have been avoided, at least until such time as it would not have had such terrible effects on human and animal inhabitants. There would be either no State of Israel, or one which would not be the hub of a worldwide Jew-Zionist web. The forces of Stalinism would never have invaded Eastern and Central Europe. There would have been no Korean War, no Vietnam War, no Cuban Missile Crisis, and Castro himself would have been seen as just another Latin American tinpot dictator (which is all he was anyway, once Soviet backup was removed) and unable to pose as a world “statesman” (BBC and Labour Party idiots please note).
What if? If only…
And now for something completely different…
What if…Beeching had never happened? Alternatively, what if rail lines had been closed but maintenance of track continued?
I wonder how many British people of the post-1960s age, let alone the (often vacant-seeming) “millennials”, have even heard of Dr. Beeching, his reports and his “Beeching Axe”? [see Notes, below]. In outline, then:
“The first report identified 2,363 stations and 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of railway line for closure, 55% of stations and 30% of route miles, with an objective of stemming the large losses being incurred during a period of increasing competition from road transport and reducing the rail subsidies necessary to keep the network running; the second identified a small number of major routes for significant investment. The 1963 report also recommended some less well-publicised changes, including a switch to containerisation for rail freight“. [Wikipedia]
Note those figures: 2,363 rail stations to be closed! Not to mention 5,000 miles of track.
“Protests resulted in the saving of some stations and lines, but the majority were closed as planned, and Beeching’s name remains associated with the mass closure of railways and the loss of many local services in the period that followed. A few of these routes have since reopened, some short sections have been preserved as heritage railways, while others have been incorporated into the National Cycle Network or used for road schemes; others now are lost to construction, have reverted to farmland, or remain derelict.” [Wikipedia]
“Beeching’s reports made no recommendations about the handling of land after closures. British Rail operated a policy of disposing of land that was surplus to requirements. Many bridges, cuttings and embankments have been removed and the land sold for development. Closed station buildings on remaining lines have often been demolished or sold for housing or other purposes. Increasing pressure on land use meant that protection of closed trackbeds, as in other countries (such as the US Rail Bank scheme, which holds former railway land for possible future use) was not seen to be practical. Many redundant structures from closed lines remain, such as bridges over other lines and drainage culverts. They often require maintenance as part of the rail infrastructure while providing no benefit. Critics of Beeching argue that the lack of recommendations on the handling of closed railway property demonstrates that the report was short-sighted. On the other hand, retaining a railway on these routes, which would obviously have increased maintenance costs, might not have earned enough to justify that greater cost. As demand for rail has grown since the 1990s, the failure to preserve the routes of closed lines (such as the one between Bedford and Cambridge, which was closed despite Beeching recommending its retention) has been criticized.” [Wikipedia]
The above long extracts from Wikipedia lay out the facts quite well. What is missing is perspective. The postwar period in the UK, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, was one of almost wholesale destruction of old buildings, streets, villages, towns and cities. In fact, postwar redevelopment changed London a great deal more than the oft-cited depredations of the Luftwaffe (most of which bomb damage was concentrated on the Thames dock areas and nearby areas which suffered collateral damage). Naturally, demolitions are sometimes inevitable and sometimes an improvement [see Notes, below], but much that was valuable has gone.
In fact, the 5,000 miles of track closures earmarked by Beeching were in addition to about 3,318 miles of railway track closed between 1948 and 1962 and also a further 1,300 miles of passenger railway between 1923 and 1939! Over 9,000 miles of track!
So “what if”? What if, for example, the rail track had been maintained? That way, were (as now are) different ideas, new technical ideas, possible (eg robot trains, no-staff trains, small ultralight trains, trains made with lighter materials, trains using solar power etc), those tracks could be the basis for new transport links and could be further linked with new track.
The expense of a railway is mostly in the staff pay, pensions etc; after that, the cost of actually running trains (fuel etc); after that, maintenance of trains, track, bridges, tunnels etc. The core maintenance can be relatively little. In the USA, this is the policy (see Wikipedia in Notes, below). Political policy which is also a national insurance policy.
Not that the trekking ways, cycleways and nature walks which often have replaced the old railways are not useful too, but most rail track destroyed has been simply ploughed over, built over or abandoned. Pity.
Today is the 75th anniversary of the attempt made to assassinate Adolf Hitler at his headquarters in East Prussia, the Wolfsschanze (Wolf’s Lair), now situated within the borders of post-1945 Poland.
I blogged last year about matters around the event and around those times more generally:
What is there to add? Perhaps a reminder that human manifestations on this Earth do not last forever. The film, below, shows what the sprawling headquarters of 1944 is like today: as abandoned and lost as the cities of the Aztecs or the Mayans.
On the other hand, the devastated cities of the Germany of 1944 and 1945 are today thriving governmental, commercial, cultural and residential centres, with populations again in the hundreds of thousands or even millions.
[above, Dresden in 1945]
[above, Berlin in 1945; area shown is the Unter den Linden boulevard in central Berlin]
[above, Berlin in 1945; area shown is the Reichskanzlei or Reich Chancellery]
The above photographs show the devastation resulting from war. Today, those same areas are prosperous, busy, thronged with inhabitants. Some of the old has been replaced, some kept, adapted to contemporary usage.
The same is true of ideas. Both the practical and the spiritual-cultural achievements of National Socialism were huge, enormous, particularly when it is considered that they were achieved within only 6 years of peace, the years 1933-1939. SIX YEARS!
We do not need to copy or indeed defend everything that was done by, or in the name of, the Reich. Indeed, many of the flaws of the Reich, or supposed flaws, existed and in fact were even more glaring in both the West and the Soviet Union of the 1930s. The Zeitgeist streamed over the world as a whole, like the jetstream.
In 2019, we honour what was good in the Reich, what worked for the German people and the peoples of all Europe. The rest, we do not need. Times move on. Some challenges remain; others, newly emerged, have to be faced for the first time.
We honour the past and stand ready to create the future.
Well, not me personally! In fact, the title refers rather to those who have tried to attack me over recent years.
Beyond those who seem to be obsessed with me personally (see below), I have noticed over the past 7-8 years on Twitter (my own account was closed down in 2018) that the platform does seem to attract many people who are mentally not normal in various ways. Indeed, many of those seem to take pride in their flawed mentalities and either proudly proclaim themselves to be this, that or the other, or frequently describe their conditions, medication, battles with the DWP or NHS etc.
I tend to look mostly at the more political side of Twitter, and there one does find a lot of mental instability and worse, and that particularly applies to those supporting Zionism, as well as “antifa” idiots. Most who attack me have mental problems (admitted by the individuals themselves).
When I had a Twitter account, one particular little bumboy even incited his relatively few followers to pour petrol over me and immolate me. I could not be bothered to report it to the police (or Twitter) at the time, though Twitter did suspend the pathetic degenerate’s account for a week. I daresay that he will get what’s coming to him in the end, one way or another. He will probably die of AIDS or something before any punishment comes to him from elsewhere. In the meantime, the same unpleasant little blot on humanity still tweets about me and how “evil” I supposedly am, though he does so only occasionally now. He thinks that he is anonymous and hidden, perhaps. He recently tweeted that he is “absolutely fine” about Nigel Farage being attacked with battery acid. Are the police interested? Probably not, since he has not posted rude pictures of one of the tame thick princelings and/or the Royal Mulatta, and has not tweeted anything “anti-Semitic”. One law for all? Hardy ha ha.
Dr. Tim G. Stevens
There again, we see, here below, another nuisance troll who spends time on Twitter: Dr. Tim G. Stevens, NHS consultant psychiatrist from Essex (via South Africa and Newcastle). He tends to tweet in the Jewish and Zionist interest, despite not being Jewish (certainly not full-Jew). He is in favour of mass immigration in the UK and was anti-apartheid as a Trotskyist student in his native South Africa. All the same, it seems that he has no desire to return to build the wonderful new “rainbow nation” South Africa, ruled as it is by an increasingly violent and corrupt African majority rule “democracy”. He is obviously capable enough of seeing the folly in that, but look at this absurd and recent tweet!
Seventy-one years ago today. The Windrush generation enriched Britain in ways future historians will celebrate. https://t.co/kgFsAuAXq4
At first, Dr. Tim seemed to regard me as a person simply espousing an ideology with which he disagreed, but over time he has become virulently hostile, as can be seen in his tweets here below.
That generally holds true, but doesn't account for the Nazi high command. Or Ian Millard.
Dr. Tim’s own mental health seems to have deteriorated between 2016 and 2018, looking at a selection of his many tweets about me. Just my honest opinion, of course. He starts off by being quite thoughtful in 2016, but by 2018 is all-out offensive and stupid.
Extreme right-wing Muslim-hating, Jew-hating Hitler lickspittle Ian Millard gets the horn. pic.twitter.com/IxVYs6FRyw
Looking back at 2016, I wonder whether Dr. Tim started to understand that, in the 1930s, it was the norm for at least the leading or influential National Socialists to be highly educated, intelligent etc. The same is in fact true in 2019 of many social national people, but the Jew-Zionists, the “antifa” idiots etc usually want to portray them as “knuckledraggers”. Perhaps it is this cognitive dissonance that has sent Dr. Tim off the rails, apparently. He has recently been tweeting about how he has clinical depression and is on medication for it.
Even in 2016, Dr. Tim seemed obsessed by me and a couple of other tweeters:
In 2016, I am not (yet?) a “knuckledragger”, but by 2017 Dr. Tim thinks that I am a “sad sack“. Ironic, in view of his own (though only recently publicly-admitted) depressive condition…
In fact, and in case anyone is curious, I myself have never been diagnosed with any mental illness or condition…
An odd thing, though, for a psychiatrist to tweet about someone. Not very professional. I am aware that he has also made very unprofessional comments about others in recent years. Examples: Jo Stowell, photographer, formerly of Bristol, for one; also about Alison Chabloz, the persecuted satirist, singer and songwriter.
Dr. Tim attempts a little cod-diagnosis by tweet. Pathetic. Is this the sort of diagnostic skill he uses on his Chelmsford patients?
Obsessed Dr. Tim replies to someone on Twitter who defended me:
I think I know what your answer is, but for tidiness’s sake I just want to make sure I can file you correctly with your cronies Carter, Millard and Chabloz. Otherwise I’ll have to start a new folder.
2017: Ironic. Self-described depressive case (and actually on medication) “Dr. Tim” describes me (never diagnosed with any mental problem or illness) as a “sad sack”.
It does seem rather unprofessional, though, for an NHS consultant psychiatrist to describe anyone as a “sad sack“. It seems to indicate an odd attitude to his own psychiatric patients, particularly those suffering (like Dr. Tim himself) from depression.
Dr. Tim is also a hypocrite:
Dear Dr Curtis
I often attack Corbyn. I have mental health problems.
Oh, and I’m a psychiatrist.
Parse that. And while you’re doing it, take a moment to reflect on GMC and Royal College guidance re using mental illness as a political smear.
Dr. Tim is perhaps angry because my instinct told me that he might be partly-Jewish and I tweeted about it once, several years ago. An educated guess based on his general look (not conclusive by any means), his attitude (he not infrequently tweeting about how others envy his professional status and supposed “success”, for example), his constant tweeting about “anti-Semitism” etc, and his being accepted openly as “one of us” by outright Jew-Zionist trolls on Twitter.
In the past, Dr. Tim claimed that one of his grandfathers was an SS officer who died at Stalingrad. At other times, he seems to have tweeted that the same officer was in the Wehrmacht and not the SS. Either way, he tweeted that he was ashamed of that officer, who (assuming any of it is true) seems to have perished defending Europe from Stalinism.
Now it seems that Dr. Tim believes himself to be part-Jew; he has been tweeting about it:
Today I sent off one of those genetic testing kit things.
Dr . Tim tweets further (in answer to tweeters who have been arguing with him over his enthusiastic support for controversial electro-shock “therapy”):
I suffer from recurrent depression, which thankfully has never been severe enough to require hospitalisation. If that happened, I’d want ECT.
and Dr Tim admits that he often cannot think logically or coherently by reason of his mental condition:
Not fishing for sympathy here at all. But has anyone else who’s suffered from depression noticed that, while the morning is utter torture, the afternoon brings an urge to communicate with people which results in faux pas, because you can’t think straight?#depression
Tweeter “@cdaargh”, above, formerly known as “Christine of Aargh”, is someone with mental problems, and who supplements her prescribed medication with self-medication (whisky). She is not known for her diplomacy, as evidenced by this amusingly crazed (though understandable) tweet to the then Prime Minister, David Cameron-Levita, in 2015:
[Update, 14 October 2025: now that “cdaargh” has locked her Twitter/X account and stopped tweeting (since 2022), her amusingly-crazed tweets cannot be read, but I cannot fail to commemorate one of her best ones, in which she described the then Prime Minister, David Cameron-Levita as, and so replied to one of his official tweets, “you pus-faced shitlizard wankgoblin“. Legendary…].
@cdaargh” linked up with a minor Jewish academic called Ben Gidley, “@bengidley”, who was was secretly using the Twitter name “@inthesoupagain” to troll people (Twitter suspended the account permanently in the end, after which “Soup” —Gidley— started an identical account called “@antinazisunited”, now also apparently suspended, though tweets earlier than May 2019 are still extant). He also seems to run Twitter account “@bobfrombrockley” and other accounts, a fact which has often made me wonder whether he ever gets any work done at Birkbeck or Goldsmiths colleges (University of London)! Another one obsessed with me (and “anti-Semitism”, of course).
“Christine” loved it that I was disbarred, and she was too stupid to see that it did not harm me in the slightest (because I had ceased practice 8 years before). I wonder whether “Christine” herself has ever had a job, let alone a profession? I doubt it.
[Update, 7 February 2026: another of her tweets also deserves immortality: some tweeter asked people what would be their favourite Olympic sport. Her reply? “Catapulting politicians onto a wall lined with spikes“! Again, legendary craziness…]
Quite a number of decent tweeters stood with me against these crazies:
I'm not having her or anyone else dictating who I chat to. 😒
Well, “@cdaargh” only tweets occasionally now. Looks as though she is back down the rabbithole or somewhere. I could show hundreds of other tweets from her in similar vein, but there it is… Her latest tweets at time of writing of this article:
A Zionist Jew who seems to spend a great deal of time on Twitter is tweeter “@frankiescar”, aka Andrew Roberjot, a kind of legal groupie (though apparently unqualified), who is so odd that he actually turned up to gloat when I was before the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in 2016. While he is not (as far as I know) actually clinically mentally-disordered, he is an obsessed Zionist who, like Dr. Tim, has an elastic relationship with the truth. Here, below, they discuss my ability as a barrister, and my life at the Bar in the 1980s (in fact, I was still a —belated— student then, and, having spent years in the USA, was Called to the Bar only in 1991):
I suspect when he was first practising law in the 80s he had the same views, but a) they were taken less seriously back then; b) he didn’t have a platform like this to give free rein to them.
Roberjot “diagnoses” me! Ah, well, why not? Stevens is little better, and he is apparently a qualified psychiatrist (though I have never heard of one behaving as he does). Note that NHS “consultant psychiatrist” and depressive case Dr Tim “likes” Roberjot’s “diagnosis”…
I wonder whether I should make formal complaint against Stevens to the GMC? His behaviour seems very unprofessional, to say the least. I shall have to think about it. I usually prefer to not bother with the like. On the other hand, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” laughed when people said that they would complain against him. Well, he’s not laughing now…
Note that “@frankiescar” (Jewish Zionist knowall —or know-nothing— Roberjot) agrees with some other crazy Zionist that I was “a prospective Tory candidate” in years past. Not only have I never been a prospective candidate for any party, but have never even belonged to the Conservative Party (or to any System party)! Complete fabrication. Well, after all, what else can you expect from (((them)))?
Mike Stuchbery
Yet another one who has mental “issues” is Mike Stuchbery, who has tweeted against me in the past, gloating at my disbarment etc if I recall aright, though there were so many unthinking deadheads and “antifa” idiots like Stuchbery doing that (especially in late 2016, soon after my disbarment) that by now I have forgotten almost all.
Stuchbery poses as both “journalist” and “historian”. In fact, he was briefly a (later discredited and sacked) supply teacher in a comprehensive school, who now is always asking his Twitter followers for money):
When one suffers a severe bout of anxiety or depression, the preoccupation with our circumstances – real or imagined – can result in us missing out on food, sleep, human contact – the things that keep us on an even keel.
Stuchbery is better known for having quite recently organized people to go to Tommy Robinson’s family’s home, while also organizing the filming of the incursion. What Stuchbery did not anticipate was that Tommy Robinson would turn up later at his, Stuchbery’s, house! Collapse of stout party! In fact, meltdown…
Stuchbery’s modus operandi is to sit in the rear and co-ordinate information about any broadly “nationalist” activists, from UKIP and Brexit Party through Tommy Robinson and on to social nationalism. He does not expect to be directly involved in the violence he can be said to have incited (he himself claims that his actions fall short of incitement), but he supports it with weasel words, and he certainly does not expect to be called to account for his actions (see photograph above!) . The Tommy Robinson episode may have taught him a lesson, i.e. “what goes around comes around”. I wonder.
Louise Mensch
Then again, we have others, affected by mental problems, drugs, whatever: Louise Mensch, for example. The one-time “chick-lit” scribbler as Louise Bagshawe) and pro-Zionist, who is married to a New York Jew and now lives in Manhattan), was briefly the “Conservative” Party MP for Corby (under her married name, Mensch, not her, er, “maiden” name of Bagshawe):
Before she scribbled “chick-lit” books and became an MP, Louise Mensch worked for EMI, at which time she was a heavy drug abuser. She has admitted being left with “long term mental problems” by reason of her drug abuse.
Apparently, she was also a very promiscuous rock music groupie too, at one time, a fact that the 2010 Conservative Party campaign at Corby failed to mention:
Oxford University has, of course, always been famous for bikes (though mainly of the 2-wheeled type).
[above, Louise Mensch, smoking drugs]
Hard to believe that the Conservative Party made a ghastly and ignorant bitch like that an MP, even if it lasted in the end no more than about 15 months. Oh, well, maybe not, looking at some other MPs…
Louise Mensch has of course admitted being “left with long-term mental problems” because of her drug abuse, and is now notorious for making up claims about supposed Russian involvement in American and UK elections, claims that have recently been exploded by independent research. Even Nick Clegg, for Facebook, has now agreed with that.
Mensch personifies the absurdity of Twitter: with 289,000 “followers” (whether bought or real; perhaps genuine), she no doubt thinks herself very influential, but her real political or other influence is effectively zero.
Louise Mensch was almost manically or hysterically happy when I was disbarred in England, and actually tweeted directly to me to say that she was going to make similar complaint against me to the Bar of the State of New York. She thus managed to display simultaneously not only her lack of any class, but also her ignorance about the New York Bar and its rules, and about US Federal law (including the US Constitution).
Louise Mensch. What a stupid demented cow! When she realized that she had no leg to stand on (little matters such as the U.S. Constitutional free speech provisions, the fact that she was never my client, the fact that I have in fact never practised in New York despite being qualified and Admitted there… etc), she deleted the tweet. In fact, she seems to have deleted all her tweets about me.
The #RachelRiley tirade about AS reminds me of a similar intervention by Louise Mensch a year or two back. Mensch stated anyone who used the term 'Zionist' was automatically an anti-Semite. Someone asked her if it extended to Theodor Herzl? Yes, everybody! she replied. https://t.co/T8Ck1dzSCe
Another point: anyone who thinks that attendance at Oxford University guarantees a good level of knowledge should take a look at types such as Louise Mensch…Like so much of Britain, Oxford University has been living off its hump for a very long time.
Mark Lewis
Abusive Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, whose mind has been damaged either by his multiple sclerosis condition or the drugs used to control or ameliorate it, admitted when on trial before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal that at times he had no idea what he was doing, saying, or tweeting! After having being found guilty, he fled to Israel with his carer/”partner”.
Rather than go through all the details of Lewis’s crazed behaviour, I refer the reader to my previous studies about him, which can be found on my blog pages via the search function. Incidentally, he has never even threatened to sue me for any of what I have written about him…
“Slatfascists”
Then we have the persistent Twitter troll (he’s also on GAB and other platforms) known, inter alia, as “‘@slatfascists” or “Dave”. Another one with mental problems — this becomes almost tiresome, but this article is being written to show the strong link between “antifa” (and also some Zionists) trolling and snooping, and mental disorder.
“Slatfascists” is often in contact on Twitter with other “antifa” idiots and also Zionists such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer”. Supposedly Mancunian (like Lewis), his main interest other than trolling/snooping is playing some stupid online game in which the “space cadets” pretend to be commanders of spaceships! Beam me up! Once, “slatfascists” did not take his medication and had a Twitter meltdown. Out of misplaced compassion, I deleted my Twitter comments about the episode. As the Bible says, “do not give that which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn and rend you” (as he indeed did…). Below, “slatfascists” interacts with another disturbed person, who describes himself as a “proud Aspie” (Asperger’s Syndrome person)
Ahhh, with you now! Is Millard still rambling too?
[Update, 16 October 2021: “Slatfascists” has closed down his Twitter account, possibly because his identity was allegedly revealed recently. Good riddance; and I hope permanent riddance. Because the “Slatfascists” Twitter account has gone up the chimney, none of his malicious and unpleasant tweets can now be seen]
[Update, 17 October 2021: as predicted likely yesterday, “Slatfascists” is back on Twitter already. A weak-minded little troll with nothing to say].
[Update, January 2022: “@slatfascists” has changed its Twitter name to “@DaveAFAF”]
Update, 27 April 2020
Well, Ben Gidley is, sadly, still around, but his main troll accounts on Twitter have been killed off: @inthesoupagain went up the chimney; @antinazisunited is permanently frozen though the tweets are mostly extant. @BobFromBrockley is still on Twitter, but revealed now as simply a pro-Israel account with some pathetic “non pasaran!” 1930s Popular Front stuff added (the Labour Party supporters on Twitter saw through “BobFromBrockley” long ago).
“Christine” or “@cdaargh” seems to have gone down the rabbithole or (very likely, I think) permanently up the chimney. Her last tweet was in early December 2019, i.e. over 4 months ago.
Seems that unprofessional NHS psychiatrist “Dr. Tim” (Tim G. Stevens, of Epping Forest/Chelmsford) cannot stop himself from commenting on me via Twitter. Having said that I am a “sad sack” (despite the fact that he is the one with a diagnosed mental problem, and is on medication for it), he now uses that other term of medical art, “batshit“, about me and others, while chatting on Twitter with a few Jews and yet another nut, a Balkan woman who is a convicted fraudster and embezzler and who claims to be a medical doctor as well as an MBA and various other things. She was convicted in 2013: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2448851/Ex-press-secretary-fleeced-UKIP-MEP-went-spending-spree-disapproving-policies.html
Were I not so lazy, I should probably see what the General Medical Council (GMC) has to say about Dr. Tim, but I cannot be bothered at present. After all, what goes around comes around, eventually.
I have suffered very deeply from mental health problems. At the age of 28 I finally broke. I was an outpatient at the wonderful facility of the Maudsley in South London. It was my BLESSING I got sick under a Labour government. Tony Blair was PM. I cannot stress this enough.
The tweeter above is not Jewish, certainly not full, but has been a consistent ally of the Jewish lobby in the UK, especially but not exclusively on Twitter. I believe that she has tweeted against me a few times in the past but her main focus has been to defeat the Corbyn wing of the Labour Party.
Synchronicity. I was recently rereading the memoirs of Hans Eysenck [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Eysenck] who was based for a long time at the Maudsley Hospital (near Denmark Hill, South London).
People with mental problems, and who are not Jewish, often either attach themselves to Jews, Zionism, and Israel, or develop psychoses if they visit Israel. Israeli psychiatrists even have a special label they attach to such manifestations, i.e. “Jerusalem Syndrome”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_syndrome
What a nice person…Still, “it’s not her fault…she’s mentally ill“…I suppose…(or maybe she’s just not very nice…).
Update, 2 January 2021
Good grief! Another one!
Clinical depression is likely to be a major public-health problem in the wake of the pandemic. In an essay for @TimesMagazine, ahead of publication of my book, I describe what it’s like to be mentally ill. https://t.co/LPDtKZXRRJ
Kamm, half-Jewish, is a hypocrite who pretends to be pro-free speech, but consistently, in my view, manifests the reverse when —important point— the interests of Jews, the Jewish lobby, or Israel are involved. He made sure that he got quoted by the msm Press after I got disbarred in 2016, saying that he was “a near-absolutist on free speech” (but still commended my disbarment at the instigation of a pack of Jews!) See: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
Kamm has also said that persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz should not have been prosecuted in 2018 for having posted songs satirizing a few of the many hundreds of proven “holocaust” fakes and frauds. Superficially, a pro-free speech position, but not when you understand that what he wants (and proposed) is for major online and offline platforms to quietly ban Alison Chabloz (and others) from saying (or singing) anything! A prize half-Jew hypocrite.
He has now monetized his own mental condition!

Ironic…if I am not mistaken, that “antifascist” tweeter, “@jdpoc” (who in the past has tweeted against me) was quite recently tweeting something online about his own mental “issues”…
Update, 17 February 2021
“Aargh aargh AAARGH!@cdaarghgone girl. that is to say, I’ve left twitter for good. I hope. For the sake of my mental health. Good luck, and fight fascism.“
Looks as though @cdaargh has finally taken her pills and her bottle of whisky back down the rabbit-hole.
In other news, it seems that “Dr. Dim” (see above) has had to apologise to persecuted satirical singer Alison Chabloz, and delete one or more tweets about her, after the NHS trust that employs him took up the matter of his online abusiveness. Talk about eating crow! The GMC should take up the matter.
Update, 21 June 2021
Well, “Dr. Dim” continues to tweet occasionally about Alison Chabloz and others, though I have not seen much about me since Dr Dim was forced, quite a while ago, by his NHS employers, to delete a tweet mentioning me, satirical singer Alison Chabloz, and Jo Stowell (photographer, formerly of Bristol). He lied about all three of us supposedly having threatened him and his family. The bastard even gratefully accepted tweets in commiseration from a number of mugs who follow his Twitter account.
Alison Chabloz got an official apology from “Dr Dim” (Dr. Tim G. Stevens), via his NHS trust, but so far neither he nor his Trust has apologized directly to me. Well, I am not a Jew, so do not harp on about “apologies” all the time.What goes around comes around, in the end…
In the meantime, “Dr. Dim” continues to transgress the NHS code of practice for psychiatrists by publicly posting “diagnoses” of people who are not his patients, and whom he has never even met. Below, George Galloway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway], a candidate in the 1 July 2021 by-election at Batley and Spen, gets the Dr. Dim treatment:
I do wonder if, despite his rampant egomania and self-aggrandisement, he’s all that well.
Update, 16 October 2021: As noted now in the body of the text, “Slatfascists” has closed down his Twitter account, possibly because his identity was allegedly revealed recently, though I have no idea whether the identity “revealed” by a couple of tweeters was the correct one.
Good riddance; and I hope permanent riddance. Unfortunately, because the “Slatfascists” Twitter account has “gone up the chimney”, none of his malicious and unpleasant tweets can now be seen.
Memory lasts longer than tweets…
[note: as updated in the body of the text, “Slatfascists” weakly decided to crawl back to Twitter only a day after having “left”, and continues to troll, pointlessly, as before, now sub nom “@DaveAFAF”]
Update, 27 December 2021
I had noticed that you weren't active on Twitter lately & wondered if this was due to ill health or a sudden burst of sanity. I'm sorry it's the former.
No need to comment, methinks (Stevens is also now suffering from, he has previously tweeted, possibly-terminal cancer).
I see, looking at the above blog post for the first time in a couple of months, that some of the others have also reduced their Twitter trolling as a result of various events.
“The Balkan woman” (Balkan fraud) has not tweeted for about a month, and little before that over the past year, as a result (presumably) of the alleged murder of her son a year or so ago.
“@Frankiescar” (Andrew Roberjot), the “legal people” groupie, troll and Zionist pest, who actually turned up to gloat when I was disbarred by a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in late 2016), has disengaged, at least in public, from the “CAA” fake charity. He rarely if ever mentions me now; I even see the odd tweet from him with which I can agree! Mirabile dictu!
Are you for real ? They are the very definition of restrictions !
In fact, Roberjot/@frankiescar has, like so many who attack me, suffered a serious “medical episode” (necessitating a heart operation). #TenGreenBottles…
More about that “Dr. Julia Grace Patterson”, who selflessly (in her own opinion) gave up her medical career in order to spout rubbish, sell facemasks and start a supposedly pro-NHS pressure group…
She is now supported by Communist hypocrite and SAGE bureaucrat, Professor Susan Michie (who wants an almost endless “lockdown”, endless restrictions on personal liberty etc):
The Michie woman was even once banned from the UK Communist Party conference for being too extreme! Now she advises the Boris-idiot government of fools.
The fact is that the man at the bar of the local pub knows almost as much about “Covid” as some GPs, and as much as some non-practising “doctors” who run pressure groups and sell things such as cloth facemasks.
It would be interesting to know exactly what (if any) post-qualification medical career that young Patterson woman has had. I suspect not much of one.
Unfortunately, people tend to take “doctor”-somebody as someone who actually knows something in some depth. Often not so (and that is without even looking at the “doctors” of various non-medical subjects who (despite not being medical doctors, academics, or people in religious orders), insist on calling themselves “doctor” this or that on Twitter. I have blogged in the past about political bad jokes such as “Doctor” Louise Raw. Just one of many.
Anyway, back to the (other) lunatics who have (more often) attacked me online.
“Slatfascists” and some others (eg some crazed and apparently incontinent old woman to whom he talks online) only occasionally mention me now, probably because they realize that every time I or my blog are mentioned, my readership increases.
Mike Stuchbery occasionally mentions me, but not so often as at one time; he too probably wants to starve my blog of the “oxygen of publicity”, and has apparently taken up running, with almost (?) manic fervour. As far as I know, his proposed legal action against fake nationalist “Tommy Robinson” has still not come to court, a couple of years on from when he and Roanna Carleton-Taylor (“@oilpaintwitch”) collected nearly £12,000 via GoFundMe for that purpose.
In fact the said Roanna, “Witch of Peace” as was, has had the ludicrously-misnamed “anti-fascist” “organization” (a handful of lunatics), “Resisting Hate” she ran booted off Twitter. Poetic justice…
I have heard little from crazed non-Jewish Zionist idiot Louise Mensch, though I saw in some newspaper that her wealthy Jewish-American husband has managed to get rid of her by divorce. In political terms, she is, if possible, even more of a nullity than she has been for the past 9 years. No-one takes her even semi-seriously now.
As for serial troll Ben Gidley, the minor Jew academic, a few people better-known to the public than me (eg Peter Hitchens) have exposed on Twitter his, Gidley’s, fake Twitter personas, Hitchens perhaps having seen my blog, or former Twitter exposure of that horrible little pest.
A number of crazy or just unpleasant persons who have attacked or insulted me on Twitter have died, and/or suffered other hits, since I posted the main article. As for the rest, such as Kamm, they are still around, but rarely if ever mention me now.
Happy New Year!
Update, 2 December 2022
A few updated facts about those mentioned in the original post.
“@TimGStevens”. “Dr. Dim” has not mentioned me on Twitter since his health deteriorated and he was hospitalized suffering from both delerium and some kind of cancer, though after a long break, he now again tweets occasionally, about one tweet every week or so.
Maybe he learned his lesson after committing a number of unprofessional acts, including having falsely accused singer Alison Chabloz, a lady photographer from Bristol, and me of (all) having threatened his family. He was too lacking in class to apologise directly, but Alison Chabloz received a formal apology, nominally on the bastard’s behalf, sent by the NHS trust for which he works or worked.
Why is an unprofessional loony like that even employed by the NHS and/or Chelmsford and Essex (C&E) Trust? “Answer came there none“.
“@cdaargh” seems not to have tweeted since late 2020, and her Twitter account is locked.
The “Balkan fraud” mentioned on the blog has tweeted only a few times since July 2022. I feel restricted in what I can write about her, because the trial of a couple of defendants accused of having stabbed her son to death over two years ago is still upcoming, set down for some date in 2023.
I probably could write more about her without falling foul of “contempt of court” (she will not, I apprehend, be a major witness anyway) but prefer to leave it until after that trial concludes (assuming that it proceeds). I may have a few more interesting things to say about her then.
In the meantime, said woman has been in hospital for several months, and has tweeted that the nurses and doctors in that hospital have deliberately stabbed her with needles, causing her to go into a coma for 8 weeks. Latterly, she also blames the Metropolitan Police for sending her into a coma (because of “stress”), and says that the police are “harassing” her and her family (what family?).
I expect that I would be criticized for being too suspicious, were I to say that I suspect the genesis of a spurious medical negligence claim and (and/or) another type of money claim (which I shall not specify today).
“Judge Michael Gledhill QC told Badzak that she would have been jailed for a year had she not been the sole carer for her 15-year-old son, who is studying his GCSEs.
Instead, he suspended her 12-month month prison sentence for two years to ‘avoid wrecking her son’s life’.
Sentencing, Judge Gledhill told her: ‘In November 2011 you were taken on by Gerard Batten on a three-month contract and you were to be paid by the European Parliament.
‘You knew there would be a delay in payments and you were not to be paid until January. In fact, the European Parliament paid people earlier than expected in December.
‘You doctored your online bank statement with your NatWest account by removing the £2,500 payment so someone looking at the statement would think it had not been paid.
‘That was flagrant dishonesty.
‘In due course Mr Batten was good enough to give you another three-month contract and you threw that back in his face by continuing the lie.
‘By the end of the period he realised you were not working together as satisfactorily as he had hoped when he decided not to issue another three-month contract.
‘What did you do? You then took him to an employment tribunal and lost those proceedings.
‘You reported him to the police for fraud, who investigated and took no further action. You issued high court proceedings against him as well.
You did that to deflect attention from your own dishonesty by mounting a wholesale attack on his character.
‘He said he felt he was on trial and that was your doing.
‘I am going to suspend the sentence only because of your son. He is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing and I’m not going to wreck his life by sending his mother to prison.‘”
[Daily Mail]
“Despite having an MBA qualification, she claimed she was ‘absolutely useless’ with money and ‘never knew what was in her bank account.’
Arlette Piercy, defending Badzak, told the court that she suffered from significant health problems including depression, which had been exacerbated as a result of the proceedings.
Badzak, of Kilburn, northwest London, denied forgery and fraud but was convicted by a jury.“
[Daily Mail]
The half-dozen “readers’ comments” are amusing.
Said woman often mentions her MBA, as well as her supposed medical qualifications from (I believe) former Yugoslavia. It may be true, though one has to ask why someone with such qualifications was working as a poorly-paid secretary on a 3-month contract. I believe that, for the past many years (about 9 or 10 years), the woman has been living off State benefits of various kinds.
A 2019 Twitter spat with UK-based minor academic Marko Attila Hoare (who, ironically, himself tweeted against me in past years):
You have a criminal conviction in the UK for fraud and are the former press officer for a far-right party that you yourself label as 'Nazi'. Sure, let people draw their own conclusions ! https://t.co/cmRWc0saZa
Andrew Roberjot aka “@frankiescar”. Since the days when the once-described “drunken bankrupt former businessman” constantly trolled my Twitter account, and even turned up at my Bar Disciplinary Tribunal to gloat (((as “they” would))) [for details of that case, see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/], “@frankiescar” has, like so many others of his type, suffered serious health problems, and even had surgery. He seems to have distanced himself (at least in public) from the worst Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter, and has not mentioned me for a long time (that in fact has applied to most of “them” in the past 6-9 months).
“@DaveAFAF” aka “slatfascists”. This one has apparently recently been expelled from Twitter. He saw it coming, somehow. His Twitter account does not even say “account suspended” but just “this account doesn’t exist“. In a way, it is incredible that the unpleasant mentally-afflicted bastard was not expelled years ago. All he did (apart from pretending to be an “Elite Dangerous” “space cadet”) was troll people and/or tweet insults about better people than himself. No ideas about society, not even any intelligent political or social commmentary. Typical “antifa” idiot.
Fully expecting that returning wrong 'uns and relentless Nazi trolls will soon nuke my account with BS reports.
If so, it is what it is. Unlike those sad idiots, I won't set up other accounts.
I'll watch the demise of Twitter from the outside.
“@DaveAFAF” (deceased, though sadly not literally, yet), tweeted, prior to his departure, that he intended to appeal. I presume that he was messaged by Twitter in advance. Anyway, for now it is “good riddance” time…
[“Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]
[Update, 3 December 2022:unfortunately, it seems that the troll “@DaveAFAF” has been allowed back on Twitter, at least for the time being, and so far confined to retweeting tweets of others]
That’s all, folks! (for now).
The Elon Musk risorgimento at Twitter is like a breath of fresh air, though I suspect that the Jews are working day and night to destabilize the new order or to influence Elon Musk.
Update, 4 December 2022
To be clear, I will appeal any such suspension on the grounds that it will have been caused by bad faith actors, and attempt to highlight such shenanigans in respectable media outlets. https://t.co/uU7ntpQAC1
Well, “@DaveAFAF” now spins his temporary expulsion as if he himself deleted his Twitter account:
Lol, Daft Nazis and their silly speculation about why I deactivated for the last week.
Had to throw myself full pelt into a project that needs delivering before xmas (including working most of last weekend) & the best way to avoid this distraction is temporarily nuking it.
Well, prolific tweeter and political oddity (though not obviously mentally-disordered) Marko Attila Hoare has, for the first time in a few years (I think) tweeted about me:
Seven years ago, there was a very vicious clique of anti-Semites on Twitter who harassed people together: David Carter (@SplottDave), Joanne Stowell, Charles Frith, Paul Woodlock (@smeggypants), Alison Chabloz, Ian Millard, Jason Schumann. All suspended. Only Damian Read left.
Apart from the fact that the “clique” did not exist (the tweeters mentioned were just individuals, not closely or organizationally connected with each other), and apart from the fact that none of those mentioned could be described as “vicious“, I do not recall that any of those people “harassed” anyone. Rather the contrary.
I myself have never heard of Damian Read. As for the others, I recall the others from Twitter. A few of them tweeted to me occasionally while I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018, and I have not bothered to get myself reinstated).
The only one of that list I have met in person was persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, and that encounter was a 5-minute chat at the now-defunct London Forum, at which I gave a legal talk in 2017.
In theory, I could sue Marko Attila Hoare in libel and, now being very impecunious, would have little to lose, but I do not play games of that sort, luckily for Hoare, who might find such an action expensive even if I lost. Well, I have now a year, minus a few days, in which to decide on that, but I doubt that I shall bother in the end.
Update, 20 May 2023
A few updates, in fact.
I have some interesting thoughts, and information, about Jasna Badzak, but will wait until the trial of those accused of killing her son ends, which will not be for months (it has not even started so far).
Then we have “Dr. Dim” (Tim G. Stevens). He, it seems, is actually addressing the Royal College of Psychiatrists, no less, at their conference in Liverpool in July; on “professional practice” etc.
I’m honoured to be speaking on 11 July at the Congress, about ‘Mental illness and literature: tackling stigma and exploring professional practice’. #RCPsychIChttps://t.co/B4Q6C8XFbh
I never did get that apology from him or his employers in Essex, after he made a completely untrue and, indeed, crazed allegation that singer Alison Chabloz and photographer Jo Stowell (and me) were either threatening to attack, or actually planning to attack, his family!
In relation to that outright and loony lie, Alison Chabloz made official complaint and eventually received apology from “Dim’s” employing NHS trust (he was too lacking in courage and class to do it himself), I was given a half-apology by the NHS trust concerned, was told that the matter was being investigated, but in the end (as I expected), it died on the vine. The third person libelled did not want the bother of making a complaint.
Stevens had to delete his lying tweets, though.
In between then and now, Stevens has actually been hospitalized suffering from serious delusions, but now seems to be ready to pontificate to his fellow-psychiatrists, though he tweets only occasionally now.
As with so much in modern Britain, you could hardly make up such nonsensical behaviour as displayed by Stevens.
Looks as if at least one other person (unnamed, for now) who used to tweet unpleasantly about me is having to face the fact that his days are numbered by reason of a medical condition. #TenGreenBottles…
Update, 25 October 2023
I want to send my sympathies to Jonathan as I also as many have had mental health issues watching what’s been happening . I’m taking a few days here and there to do some therapy so that it breaks the heaviness with all my family in Israel in the IDF —— we will overcome . And… https://t.co/DM9Dl4vE5a
I am an assistant professor at Columbia Business School. I am a father, a husband, an uncle, and a son. I am a forty-year-old man, and last week I found myself crying in front of a group of complete strangers.
Well, it took that one (above) another 5 or 6 weeks actually to shuffle off (Twitter/X) but “they” do tend to cling on like limpets (or should that be “leeches”?)…
“I have decided to leave Twitter. This is not a decision I made on a whim, or out of vindictiveness. This is something that took hours of careful deliberation amongst myself. I am doing this for my own benefit.
I am doing this because my depression, my anxiety, and my extreme bouts of anger are doing damage to the fight against antisemitism and other causes I care about, and to friendships (if online friendships can even be called that) I valued. I don’t like that my personal issues have become a source of drama and division. I want to be an asset. Not a liability. That is why I am exiting. If I do return here, it will be when I’m in a healthier state of mind. I will leave this up for a day or so before deactivating.”
As if anyone wants to read that loonie’s outpourings.
Update, 7 February 2024
Well, the “Balkan Fraud”, Jasna Badzak, is still occasionally tweeting. As I suspected a year ago, she was thinking of making both a medical negligence claim (based on her bizarre allegation that NHS staff deliberately and repeatedly stabbed her or injected her with something while she was in hospital), or a Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority claim based around the fact of her son’s murder by a gang of blacks a few years ago. I think that she also has it, or had it, in mind to sue the police, but that is a guess on my part. She has now tweeted this:
In the meantime time I have lost use of both of my hands and have to every six month get nerve blocks in my both hands from specialist medical doctors injections to suppress unbelievable pain. My Sven would ask me ‘Mum, who did that to you? pic.twitter.com/hwhGgXg9jK
Please tell me who repeatedly stabbed your hands for 5 days destroying your nerves on both hands?.’ Yet despite of medical records from my GP, my various neurologists, MRIs, NerveConduction Studies and many other proofs including police’s crime reference number pic.twitter.com/Z1fWjo7vRi
and police investigation CICA (Criminal Compensation Authority) did not pay me anything despite the evidence and the fact I will never ever be able to do anything with my hands including get a glass of water to take my medication or tissue to wipe tears from crying for my Sven. pic.twitter.com/P0jgP3Irkk
“…did not pay me anything“…That is her beef. She wants money, always, and preferably other people’s…
Looks like the criminal injuries people turned down her claim, if one was made. I can guess why.
I appeared as Counsel in very few Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority matters, but recall that one reason for not paying an award, or reducing one actually made, is because the applicant is of “bad character” (which includes but is not limited to criminal convictions).
“Jasna Badzak, 42, fed Gerard Batten a “pack of lies” about how her wages from the European Parliament had not been paid and she was too poor to travel to work, a court heard.
In fact she had doctored her online bank statement to make it appear as if the £2,500 payment had not been received.
Taken in by her story, the MEP loaned her the apparently outstanding wages, together with a separate £500, believing she would repay him after receiving the cash from the European Parliament.
Records show that in the meantime Badzak enjoyed spending sprees in Gucci and Harrods, Southwark Crown Court was told.
She only offered to reimburse Mr Batten after police began an investigation, and has yet to repay a penny to the MEP.
Badzak, who fled war-torn Yugoslavia 20 years ago and whose relatives died in Nazi concentration camps, said her relationship with the politician deteriorated after she was asked to work on a policy document entitled “Dismantling Multiculturalism” in February 2011.
“[the judge at the Crown Court said that] ‘You doctored your online bank statement with your NatWest account by removing the £2,500 payment so someone looking at the statement would think it had not been paid. That was flagrant dishonesty.
In due course Mr Batten was good enough to give you another three-month contract and you threw that back in his face by continuing the lie.’
When Mr Batten decided not to issue another three-month contract after that, Badzak took him to an employment tribunal and lost, the court heard.
She also reported him to the police for fraud, but detectives investigated and took no further action.
Judge Gledhill added: ‘You issued high court proceedings against him as well. You did that to deflect attention from your own dishonesty by mounting a wholesale attack on his character.He said he felt he was on trial and that was your doing.
I am going to suspend the sentence only because of your son. He is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing and I’m not going to wreck his life by sending his mother to prison’…“
[Daily Telegraph]
Badzak’s conviction dates from October 2013.
As to whether she really has qualifications (from Yugoslavia) as a medical doctor, and whether she really has an MBA from somewhere else, God knows. If so, why was she working for a modest sum as a temporary office-bod? She seems to have been living for at least a decade on various UK state benefits. We shall probably never know.
She used to tweet very disparagingly about me, that I was “just a fool” etc. Very silly.
#TenGreenBottles…
Update, 10 February 2024
[originally posted on Twitter/X in 2023, but retweeted by political academic Matt Goodwin today]
Well, the Balkan Fraud (Jasna Badzak) has now set up a GoFundMe appeal, and numerous mugs have donated already. She seeks £40,000, ostensibly in order to get medical treatment and generally to “get well” so that she can track down those who appear to have escaped trial for the murder of her son (I believe that three others have been convicted at trial, which trial or trials received enormous publicity in the Sun, Daily Mail etc). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c03xe0j0xwro.
Strange GoFundMe appeal. After all, her medical treatment is free in the UK; you do not have to pay for it. Also, how will giving Badzak money help catch those responsible for her son’s murder?
It looks to me like a kind of scam, frankly. Still, there it is, genuine or not. I think certainly not.
Among the mugs who have already donated, I notice well-known newspaper and online scribblers Carole Cadwalladr, Peter Jukes and (assuming it is the political journalist and broadcaster) Michael Crick.
Woke up again only to have another mental breakdown
And what brought it on was the crushing realization that, for all of my 38 years on this planet, I'm a lonely bloated sack of nothing with (probably) no future
Once my dad and my dog are gone, I will truly be alone
Balkan fraud Jasna Badzak continues to try to scam money out of kind-hearted but unthinking members of the public, having so far failed to get a criminal injuries compensation award (re. the murder of her son a few years ago), and also having, it seems, failed to sue either the NHS or Metropolitan Police for supposedly having “injected her with needles for 5 days” and thus having (allegedly) sent her into a coma and (later) paralysed her.
She claims to be unable to lift a glass or wipe away tears, yet tweets several times daily, asking for money for her GoFundMe appeal. Dozens of —in my opinion— mugs have actually now donated a total of nearly £3,000, in only two months or so.
Somewhere between a lunatic and a horrible snake, in my opinion.
Update, 6 May 2024
I noticed a while ago a fanatical and violent Jew-Zionist, “@leekern13”, on Twitter/X. He has in the past expressed incitement to violence, i.e. to the effect that “antisemites” “should be hurt” etc. That same Jew has now emigrated from his “native” London to Tel Aviv, from where he tweets to the effect that the (UK) Press and TV, and Twitter/X users, “are Hamas”.
[Tweet in question later deleted]
Distasteful and, like so very many other of the most fanatical Jew-Zionists (as shown above in this blog post), mentally afflicted.
Incidentally, this is what the Jew says about Britain, where he was presumably born, brought up, educated (probably free of charge, thanks to those British “antisemitic” taxpayers), and where he was given his career opportunities:
I’m leaving Britain and moving to Israel
Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving
Britain is a dying society
I’ll be fine in Israel
It’s the most dynamic, creative and positive place I’ve ever been – even though surrounded by Islamic fundamentalist psychopaths…
Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving Britain is a dying society I’ll be fine in Israel It’s the most dynamic, creative and positive place I’ve ever been – even though surrounded by Islamic fundamentalist psychopaths who daily try to destroy it .
You can forget the power of positivity and optimism. It’s become taboo in England.
That’s one thing I’ll never understand or make peace with. Britain is a shit hole – but if you try to express positivity, pride and optimism in the idea of salvaging something good about ourselves and improving things – you’ll be shamed and beaten down by smug, elitist morons who have a stranglehold over our culture – a culture that they have made desperately dull and oppressive.
Britain is a place that hates individuals who stick their head above the parapet, hates self-belief, hates pride, and it hates success.
Our enemies have contributed to this grim culture of floundering confusion and self-loathing. Useful idiots do the donkey work. And our leadership seem to lack entirely any connection with the grandeur or grand ideas that drive not just a society forward – but a civilisation.“
[Lee Kern]
Like so many of his type, he hates the UK, hates Europe, hates the Arabs and other Muslims (needless to say); basically hates anything not Jewish.
When Israel is destroyed, what is the betting that —if he survives— he will come crawling back to this country that he hates?
Indeed, his recent tweets sometimes seem to be posted from Tel Aviv, and sometimes from the UK (presumably from the North London/South Hertfordshire “Borshch Belt”).
Does he even know what country he is in, or has he “emigrated” to Israel while really still spending much of his time in the UK that he obviously despises (or purports to despise)? (cf. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”).
A complete loonie, like so many others.

This one has been tweeting, mainly though not entirely in the “antifascist”/Jewish-lobby interest, for years. Turns out that he is yet another one with what he himself describes as “very severe mental health issues“.
Someone should do a Ph.D. thesis on the links between mental problems, “antifascist” tendencies, and Jew-Zionism. Might be groundbreaking.

I wasn't going to say anything but I know a lot of you care and I don't want to keep you in the dark. I've been having suicidal thoughts the last 24 hours and I'm gonna get help for it. This might be my last tweet for a little while but I'll come back better. Love you all.

Another one:
A small note: the only benefit of allowing Maginn to see my TL is to be able to cleanse my feed of those who like or repeat what he says. Instant block. I’m taking action to protect my mental health.
Myerson, an obsessed Jew-Zionist who tweets up to 100x a day on occasion, is a member of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” and “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, is a barrister based mainly in Leeds, and a Recorder (p/t judge) who has recently been rebuked by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office for his toxic social media presence.
“Nichols grew up in a mostly secular Catholic family with some Irish heritage. At the age of 22, Nichols started attending weekly services at the Manchester Reform Synagogue; after attending the services, she claimed to have felt more peace than she ever had growing up.[31] She converted to Judaism in 2014 and celebrated her bat mitzvah on her 27th birthday.[32]
Since converting to Judaism, Nichols has faced ongoing abuse for her beliefs, including anti-Semitism from a Conservative Party council candidate for the 2021 Warrington Borough Council election. The candidate sent a message via Twitter to Nichols saying “Keep the Aryan race going”.[33]
In 2021, it was reported that Nichols has post-traumatic stress disorder, having been forced to cut a parliamentary visit to Gibraltar short following a “mental health episode“.[34]
In 2022, Nichols opened up about her struggles with abusive messages and threats of violence she has faced, after a BBC investigation found that she was in the top 5 backbench MPs for receiving abusive and toxic tweets on Twitter.[35][36]
In a 2021 interview, Nichols stated that she identifies as bisexual.[37]
In October 2019, Nichols tweeted that a group of S.S. Lazio fans who had been filmed making Nazi salutes in Glasgow should “get their heads kicked in”. Nichols defended her comments in December that year: “These were people doing Nazi salutes on the streets of Britain… As a Jewish person whose grandfather fought in World War Two, ultimately sometimes I believe that fascism has to be physically confronted”.[28][29]
An article published in The Daily Telegraph in 2019 reported that Nichols had described members of the Green Party as “bourgeois scab fucks” and told one Twitter user, “Hope you lose your virginity”.[30]“

A Labour MP…what does that say about not only the Labour Party but the whole political system?
🧵 Listen, I’m going to just start with an apology and say I’m really sorry for having some stupid meltdown on today of all days. I’m genuinely very, very tired. As all of you, I’ve been dreading today and it’s got to me. But I’m sorry truly for diverting from what matters.
I had never heard of him but, now having read the Wikipedia entry, realize that I have seen him in both Inspector Morse and Poirot.
Apparently, “In his autobiography, Eccleston described chronic anorexia, body dysmorphia and depression, and said that he had considered suicide. Speaking about his poor mental health, he wrote that he was “a lifelong body hater”.[74] He was hospitalised in 2016 with severe clinical depression.[75]” [Wikipedia].
Pitiable fake “historian” Mike Stuchbery has apparently departed “permanently” from Twitter/X and has migrated to “Blue Sky”, where he can post “antifascist” messages unchallenged by anyone social-national, or knowledgeable about modern history; he can now continue to “report” anyone whose opinions he dislikes (Twitter just ignored him in recent years).
Sad and half-crazed Stuchbery, now living off the generous German social welfare system (generous enough for him to have, he says, “spent a few weeks in northern Italy” a while ago) has recently moved into a new apartment (presumably in Stuttgart) with a new girlfriend. He is still trying to beg money from mugs online, though.
As for “DaveAFAF”, once known as “Slatfascists”, the Mancunian loony “antifascist”…

So that idiot has also gone from Twitter/X. I read (true or not) that the police are now interested in some of his activities.
What about Jasna Badzak, the Balkan Fraud? Well, she has not tweeted since May 2024, and her attempted GoFundMe scam has not raised the £40,000 she wanted, but only £3,542, with the last mug-donation £25, some months ago. All other donations ceased nearly 6 months ago.
I have no idea whether Jasna Badzak has “shuffled off” in general, or just online, but quite likely the former.
“Dr. Dim” Stevens has not tweeted since May 2024, and only twice since February 2024.

Mentally-weird “grifter” and self-proclaimed “historian” and “journalist”, Mike Stuchbery (a stand-in temp schoolteacher a decade ago, sacked from that job after a short while, and “economically-inactive” since then) continues to try to grift from his new online platform on Bluesky, but is now once again, for the (?) 20th or 30th time, making himself out to be more than the straw man he is:
I feature (very, very, very inaccurately) in said documentary. If Elon gets me hurt by some deranged chud, the noise I'll make is unbelievable. leftfootforward.org/2024/11/elon…
Stuchbery threatening Elon Musk. As the Germans might say, unglaublich! I am sure that Musk must be quaking in his boots, as straw man Stuchbery threatens to, er, “make a noise“… Quite funny, really. Keep taking the tablets…
A reminder about how Stuchbery often makes empty threats:
Even uses their horrible insult-language. Total loonie.

Paging “Dr. Dim” (Tim) Stevens of Essex (see this blog post, ante); he (himself a mental case, as he publicly admitted online) is a fervent advocate of electro-convulsive “therapy”…
“Dr. Dim”, possibly partly-Jewish (it was never established for sure) was one of the cabal of pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby Twitter trolls who often mentioned me and usually insulted me on Twitter and elsewhere. He even made up completely contrived, completely non-existent “threats” allegedly made by me, Alison Chabloz, and another, and apparently reported me (and others) to the police (who, however, realized that the supposed threats were false; the police never even contacted me, though Stevens was not arrested as he should have been (his NHS employers did apologize on his behalf, though).
I do not know whether “Dr. Dim” Stevens is still around, or whether, as he feared, he developed early dementia and/or died of cancer. Still, he’s gone from Twitter/X, having not tweeted for over 9 months. Good riddance. #TenGreenBottles.

[“Police Review described Brennan as probably being the best known face and voice in British policing and said that “Protect the Protectors” was the primary reason the government of the day reversed its policy on issuing police officers with a side-handled baton which had been originally refused.[citation needed]
Some members of the Police Federation, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and the Home Office were critical of Brennan’s outspoken positions.[citation needed] One Police Federation member[who?] was quoted as saying that Brennan “gives outrageous soundbites and simplistic solutions to complex issues. I don’t think he represents the views of many officers.”[2]
In 2013, The Independent offered critical coverage questioning whether Brennan is a convenient “rent-a-mouth” for the media pointing out his propensity to comment on a wide array of matters unrelated to policing, ranging from asylum-seekers to prison gyms. The newspaper also suggested that some in the police force viewed Brennan as “an unelected, unrepresentative, hardline reactionary.”[2]]

Actually, I do not disagree with all of his tweets that I have seen, but his shameless kow-towing to the Jew/Israel lobby after either my free speech trial or my (wrongful/unlawful) disbarment of 2016 makes him ridiculous, in my view.
Update, 27 October 2025
Another one…(or two)
When I was stressed and in a bad place I avoided social media thinking it would help. It didn't. It wasn't the source of my stress. Moving our reality to an online world is making us miserable. If this app is the source give it up. If not people here will be there for you.
I happened to notice this piece from 2019 by one Lee “Budgie” Barnett, in which the individual relates how he had a “breakdown” about a decade ago from now:
That individual is or was a Jew who seemed, judging from his cautious tweets, somehow to know something of my political history going back, it appeared, to the 1970s.
Looking at his Twitter account (years ago), I noticed that he seemed to live not far from my own one-time home at Little Venice, London; either that neighbourhood, or nearby St. John’s Wood. During the years 2014-2020, he tweeted about me occasionally, talking to various other Jew-Zionists.
I notice also that the individual’s tweets and other online activity stopped about three years ago, so it looks as though he will not be chatting to other Jews about me in future.
What struck me, apart from the violent and cowardly attack on the girl victim and a friend of hers, was how useless every public service was proven to be. I leave aside my surprise (and disapproval) that a girl of 18 is in a Manchester nightclub at 0330 and leaves on foot to walk home.
Read the report above.
Initially, the victim and her friend (apparently a teenage boy who was also a victim), were helped by some civilian volunteers who offered to call an ambulance. The victims refused because they were told that there would be a 2 hour wait. Two hours! The victim(s) then went to hospital by taxi. The hospital simply dispensed eye drops and told the girl to go home. When she returned to hospital a day or so later, she was told that she has a blood clot on one eye. The police were informed of the attack, but no police officer has spoken to the victim. The victim utilized social media, as a result of which a witness has come forward. The police have made no comment to the newspapers. The local council has offered to check cctv for film of the attack or suspects.
In case anyone knows anything and, by some statistical miracle, reads this blog, the main suspect is white, about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and was wearing a pink T-shirt. I am no detective, but I should have thought that the starting point would be the nightclub interior cctv…
My point in writing about this is not just because the behaviour of the criminals outrages me (and makes me wonder whether flogging should be reintroduced as suitably condign punishment in such cases) and not just because I feel sorry for the girl (and her friend). My point is that this case shows that, all too often, things are just not working in our society.
In the case displayed here, the girl was let down by general public safety (police, primarily), by the ambulance service, by the NHS hospital A & E service, by the police. Had the perpetrators been caught, if they are caught now, the CPS and magistrates will no doubt also let her down.
As Napoleon is supposed to have said, “there are many reasons for failure, but never an excuse.” Funding for public services has been cut drastically in the past decade. That is obviously a factor. How, though, does that explain (still less excuse) the “polyclinic” approach apparently adopted by the hospital, or its failure to make a proper diagnosis? I concede that my knowledge of clinical-medical matters is limited, but even so…
Is lack of funding of police personnel really the only reason why the victim has not been interviewed? Yes, she was knocked unconscious, but still might recall identifying details from before that. Also, it would reassure her that she is not alone in a jungle.
Is the police force doing what it can (eg checking nightclub cctv) to track down the suspects? Why was the social media appeal left to the victim to do?
One sees everywhere, now, “things not working right”, from the NHS and police, through rail and road maintenance, every aspect of the justice system (from CPS and police to sentencing, probation and prisons), the postal service (still mostly OK), the planning system, education at every level, the DWP and its post-2005 “torture the unemployed and disabled” ethos, the armed forces, Parliament. Everything, pretty much; and it is unlikely that a government headed by Boris-Idiot will be able (or even try) to improve matters.
My feeling is that the UK is still in many respects in that state of which a 1960s senior civil servant said (I think, to Anthony Sampson) that his job was “the management of decline”, but more so. Further down the steepening slide. The migration-invasion of the blacks and browns, the destruction of culture in the msm etc, have accelerated that process.
Only a truly focussed social national government can fix this country.
Afterthought
I should not like it thought that my criticisms devolve mainly on individuals working in public service. No doubt most of those who work in the police, NHS etc do their best most of the time. I criticize, primarily, the system(s), the decisions taken, and the management.
I do not know Manchester well, in fact scarcely at all. I have been there a few times, many years ago now, driving straight to the Manchester County Court (there being a massive open-air car park nearby, close to an overhead rail line) and then driving away as quickly as possible. Apart from that, my only visit was to the Manchester Royal Infirmary in or about 1985, accompanying a member of the Georgian State Dance ensemble from the Soviet Union.
The dancer (who spoke only Russian and Georgian) had cut several fingers to the bone while practising, pre-performance, with his razor-sharp Georgian sword (the swords have to be that sharp in order to create showers of sparks during the mock fights that are part of the dance performance).
Even back then, some 34 years ago, we had to wait for about 30 mins or more to be seen, though the nurses tried to expedite it for me and were very pleasant (and very pretty, though perhaps my memory is sugar-coating things for me…).
I happened to see this recent newspaper report: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sobbing-mum-finds-daughter-having-18194587 , which appalled me. I occasionally watch those rather repetitive police-cam TV shows, in which police stop “motorists” or at least car-drivers, as well as some pedestrians. Most seem to be carrying drugs.
I recall hearing a radio report from, I think, 1969, about heroin addicts in London, in which it was stated that most UK heroin addicts were in London and that the number was at that time, in 1969 or 1970, about 500. This was seen as a crisis at the time, apparently. I imagine that, were the number of drug addicts or hard-core abusers now in the UK only a few thousand, not a mere 500, that that would be seen as some kind of huge social or policing success.
Though it has not impacted me directly (except when I appeared once in court in London as Counsel in a drug-smuggling case, circa 1993), the UK has a drug crisis which has been made worse by half-hearted chop-and-change efforts to deal with it.
Some people say that the way to deal with the drug problem in the UK is to legalize now-illegal drugs and then to regulate the manufacture, quality-control, distribution and sale, thus controlling the use of them and also making it possible to tax them, so providing funds which can then be used to treat drug-abusers and generally reduce drug abuse.
The above is a cogent argument which has its attractions, but is expensive, at least initially, and also does not seem to put an end to the problem. It might cut off funds to presently-criminal operations, true, but would that not mean that the criminal operations just continue as “legal” commercial operations?
In the 1920s and early 1930s, one of the biggest Prohibition-busting operations run into the USA (from Canada) was operated by a criminal Jew family called the Bronfman family. Their company, Seagram’s (now and for the past decade or two under largely other ownership and called simply “Seagram”), supplied illegal booze to several major US states.
It could, again, be argued that Prohibition is a case in point, in that there was an attempt to criminalize something many, perhaps most people wanted to do and that, in doing that, organized crime was accelerated in its growth without stopping the actual use of alcohol (possession of alcohol for personal use was never illegal under Prohibition; neither was the consumption of it).
The counter-argument would be that alcohol has been tolerated (except, mainly, in Islamic lands) for centuries, indeed for millennia. Wine in particular is intimately bound to Western civilization. Beer and mead are also ancient drinks: the Egyptians drank beer thousands of years ago, and the Slavs drank mead long before –in the 17th Century– they ever discovered vodka and the like.
Drugs in the sense in which we speak here (opiates, cocaine, cannabis etc) are not part of our culture, or have not been until the past century (leaving aside a few oddities such as de Quincey). Indeed, for most people, this is a situation which has developed since the 1960s.
People often say that cannabis or marijuana has been used for many centuries and so is somehow OK. However, I believe that the Persian poet Hafiz wrote against the use of marijuana in Persia, to the effect that it had contributed to the decadence of the culture and people (it was introduced in the 13th Century). Certainly, I cannot think of any country where its use (legal or illegal) has improved society: Egypt, Jamaica etc.
The once-strict British legal situation has been liberalized almost to tolerance. I recall attending, as 16 year old spectator, the magistrates’ court at Henley-on-Thames, in –I think– 1973, where a severe-looking Lady Somebody presided (with the usual two useless me-too bookends). An epicene young man, the very picture of post-aristocratic dissipation, was charged with possession of a small amount of cannabis. He had been in the old and squalid Oxford Prison for the week since first appearance (the prison is now a luxury hotel, with even the smallest rooms made out of 2 of the original prison cells; some made out of 6 or 8. The hotel featured in one episode of Lewis: see trailer in Notes,below).
The defendant applied for bail. A character witness (his girlfriend, I think), a young blonde woman wearing a traditional fox fur round her neck, complete with head (well, this was 1973…), said that the defendant had been and would be staying at her family’s home (read “small estate”) near Pangbourne. I recall this case well, partly because the young woman was asked by the Clerk of the Court “are you Miss or Mrs?”, to which she replied, stiffly, “the Honourable”!
Anyway, the upshot was that bail was refused! Despite the small amount of drugs, despite the character witness, despite the obvious no-flight-risk…This was prior to the passing of the current Bail Act. I remember that the defendant was quietly in tears at having to return to Oxford Prison (the Honourable Blonde was also wiping away a tear). Another reason I remember it all well is that I cannot imagine what use that slight, sloping-shouldered and dissipated creature could possibly be to the blonde! Ah well, ours not to reason why, I suppose…
Today, that defendant would quite likely either be given a verbal warning by the police, or a formal caution. He would probably not find himself in court at all, let alone be imprisoned either pending or after trial. Even if he did go to court, the likely outcome would be a small fine, probation or maybe a community order or the like.
I suppose that many, looking at that Henley case, would say that it is better that minor cases like that do not now involve such upset to individuals and expense to the State. On the other hand, it seems to me that the drug “epidemic” has got out of hand. That applies even more so to the “hard” drugs, to cocaine, heroin etc.
We have recently seen that a Cabinet minister, Michael Gove, has admitted to regular use of cocaine when a journalist. It has certainly been tacitly admitted that the likely soon (hopefully brief) “Prime Minister”, Boris Johnson, has even more frequently abused the drug. Its use is ubiquitous in Britain’s corrupt and decadent mass media, artistic and political circles. An early exposure was that of Louise Mensch, briefly an MP and often talking about the faults of others less affluent than herself.
These facts are important. They have social and political, as well as personal, consequences.
America declared a “war on drugs”. It failed to work (as I knew it would) because it involved bombing South American peasants and their crops rather than shooting defaulters in Washington D.C. and across the USA.
Likewise in the UK, the State uses the Navy, SBS etc to catch large-scale drug imports at sea. The importers caught there or by highly-trained police detectives and Customs operatives in the UK are very heavily punished, distributors less so, sellers less so, and the actual consumers, who drive the whole process, scarcely at all!
I wonder (I say no more) whether we should start seriously purging the country of recreational drugs, drug abusers, drug suppliers and importers, starting with the corrupt wealthy metro-liberal pseudo-“elite” at Westminster and in the msm etc. Perhaps we as a society should start shooting people. Action not words. Action, not hand-wringing. Discuss.
(note: the Henley-on-Thames Magistrates’ Court is now no longer in existence, having fallen, like many hundreds of other magistrates’ and county courts —not to mention railway branch lines— to cost-cutting and “reorganization”. The branch line to Henley is still operational, but the court was closed in 1999: https://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2009-11-05c.295992.h
For those who have never heard of her, Jo Brand is a terminally unfunny comedienne, the sort of artiste the BBC have specialized in for the past 20-30 years.
Jo Brand is highly political and supports the Labour Party.
Recently, Jo Brand made comments that she excused later as “a joke”, to the effect that Nigel Farage and other basically (even mildly) nationalist political candidates should have acid thrown over them. Wikipedia has the following description of the matter:
“In June 2019, Brand was featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy show Heresy, after a number of European election candidates had been doused with milkshakes during campaign walkabouts the previous month. Brand said “Why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?” She later added: “That’s just me, sorry, I’m not gonna do it, it’s purely a fantasy, but I think milk shakes are pathetic, I honestly do. Sorry.”[32] The BBC later defended Brand, explaining “the jokes made on Heresy are deliberately provocative as the title implies” and that they were “not intended to be taken seriously.”[33] Acting Prime Minister Theresa May said the BBC should explain why a Jo Brand joke about throwing battery acid was “appropriate content” for broadcast[34] and the BBC later announced that the remark would be edited out of any future broadcasts. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that it had “received an allegation of incitement to violence that was reported to the MPS on 13 June”.[35] and that they were investigating the matter.[36][37] Appearing at an event in Henley, Oxfordshire, on the same day, the comedian was said to have apologised for making the joke, saying “Looking back it probably was somewhat a crass and ill-judged joke that might upset people.” It was understood that the allegation reported to the police was not made by Nigel Farage or the Brexit Party. Ofcom said it has received 65 complaints about the episode of Heresy.[38] The police dropped the investigation two days later.” [Wikipedia]
Jo Brand was talking (no doubt well-paid for it too) on a BBC radio show hosted by the Jewess Victoria Coren.
Afterwards, the BBC removed the clip from public access. The Jew comic David Baddiel (the show’s “creator”, again no doubt very well paid for all of this degenerate nonsense) said that the BBC was “cowardly” in removing the comments.
Strangely enough, Baddiel is often heard complaining about jokes….about Jews.
Jo Brand is obviously a disgusting woman (I thought that a long time prior to the recent “joke” and still think it). Britain is in the midst of a spate of horrible acid (and strong alkali) attacks, in which victims have been killed or seriously injured and/or disfigured for life by criminal attackers.
These types of attack were unknown until mass immigration destroyed Britain. Even the massaged statistics of the System say that white people (still the large majority of the population) only perpetrated about 30% of the attacks; non-whites, despite being only a minority of the population, perpetrated 70% of such attacks. White people (i.e. real British people) were the victims in about 50% of cases. This type of crime has been imported from other parts of the world, and the UK courts are only now, belatedly, starting to hand down suitably condign sentences.
Coming back to the repulsive Jo Brand, she thinks that throwing milkshakes over political opponents is “just pathetic”, by which she plainly means that the attacks do not hurt or damage enough. How could someone with her attitudes ever have been a psychiatric nurse, as she is said to have been for a decade?
In fact, the “milkshakes” (which are mostly not even milk-based but are a glutinous mixture sold to the masses by McDonalds and the like), do considerable damage to clothing, and more importantly are an affront to the victim’s dignity and rights as human being and as citizen. Which, of course, is why the perpetrators do it. The attackers are always smug, narcissistic “me too” types like Jo Brand. They are always Remain whiners, always pro-mass immigration, and usually have jobs in the mass media or public services (when not students).
To imply, as Jo Brand does, that to throw a fast-food “milk”-shake over someone is nothing, and by no means painful enough, is to incite violence for political motives. There is no other explanation for it.
As to Brand’s “apology”, designed as a fig leaf so that BBC etc can carry on giving her (via her tax-dodging private company) licence-payers’ money so that she can carry on boring and repelling the public, it carries no weight whatever. Would any “ordinary” (in fact, far more valuable) citizen be let off so easily by the police on the plea that “I only said that acid should be thrown because I was joking”? I think not.
Let us look at a few people whom the police or professional bodies have not let off for making remarks, or for singing amusing songs etc:
Alison Chabloz sang amusing satirical songs about, inter alia, the many proven “holocaust” fakes.
She was prosecuted and eventually convicted, though is appealing her conviction and sentence; see
Jez Turner made a humorous speech in Whitehall in 2015, during which he suggested that Jews should be (again) ejected from the UK. Prosecuted in 2018 and actually imprisoned (!) for a year (released on licence after 6 months);
Vlogger Mark Meechan, aka “Count Dankula”, was convicted in Scotland of having taught his pug dog to give the “Hitler” salute, then posting the film online. Fined £800 and refused permission (needed in Scotland) to appeal; the fact that I regard him (and other “alt-right” vloggers) as complete wastes of space does not change the fact that he should never have been prosecuted;
I myself was questioned by the police after politically-motivated Jews complained that tweets I was said to have posted were “grossly offensive” (they could not bag me, though, and I continue to post as I see fit, though not on Twitter: the Jews managed to procure my expulsion from that platform); in a related case, effectively the same pack of Jews (though notionally different because using a different organizational name), had me disbarred
The Jo Brand case is another item in the indictment against the BBC, the degenerate msm milieu in general (cf. the Gove confession) and UK society today. There must be, some day soon, a chistka or purge (a “cultural revolution”, if you like) to destroy msm degeneracy and its practitioners and profiteers, to wipe out evil of this kind and restore European culture to TV, radio, Press and book publishing. Online too.
In the meantime, I wait to see whether Jo Brand herself will be confronted by a milkshake. I wonder whether, in that event, she will see the “joke”?
News reports and what people have been saying
First, a half-hearted defence of Jo Brand from (yet another) Jewess, this time in The Guardian:
and here [below] is the Jew Baddiel defending Jo Brand (and of course his show, from which he makes yet more money from the BBC…and as he will, no doubt, in future); but where was he when my free speech was trashed? Where was he when Alison Chabloz was persecuted and prosecuted for singing songs?
“I am suspicious of outrage, because I think, ‘are you really outraged? Are you really stomping about in your house furious, or are you just wanting to be heard on social media?’” – Comedian David @Baddiel on the reaction to Jo Brand's battery acid joke.#newsnightpic.twitter.com/SpT7IGJsAw
…and (what a shock) here is Ricky Gervais, another one who has never stood up for Alison Chabloz etc (though admittedly he did so for the waste of space “Count Dankula”, and his silly saluting dog film….); and, on another but not directly relevant point, I do like his support for animal welfare etc.
It's obvious to me that Jo Brand would never actually throw battery acid on anyone. It's even more obvious that she would never waste any of her fucking milkshake.
Yet another System-subsidized “humorist” (apparently— I’ve never heard of the idiot) below:
"Can you imagine the reaction if I had said the same thing as Jo Brand?" says Nigel Farage, a non-comedian who has non-jokingly endorsed the use of rifles in front of non-joking crowds in non-joking rooms full of non-joking people who non-jokingly defend rape jokes.
That one [above] seems to ignore the fact that both milkshake and acid attacks occur all too often; semi-conservative politicians like Nigel Farage are in fact not “picking up rifles”.
Here’s another one, Gyles Brandreth , defending Jo Brand. Funny how these bastards all make large amounts of money from the BBC…
Talk about over-reaction! Jo Brand is a big-hearted & brilliant person – and her joke was OBVIOUSLY a joke. (I heard it at the time.) https://t.co/DdmsSTr1k0
…and [below] yet another defender of Jo Brand: Jew, atheist, gay, and…yes, as expected (I had to look up the bastard on Wikipedia) another who makes his income from BBC work. The BBC is now a corrupt mess and should be dropped down a black hole.
And here is another member of the London msm club, Adam Boulton, of Sky News. Strange, I must have missed his defence of, say, Alison Chabloz and her songs (or, for that matter, his defence of my tweets of years ago). That’s right, Adam Boulton did not defend freedom of expression. “They” would not have approved…
No. Jo Brand is a decent and funny woman. She miscued with the way she expressed herself and has apologised. She was not trying to advocate violence just as Danny Baker had no racist intention. Try not being so priggish. We all make mistakes and pay the price. https://t.co/vDl1XPA0NF
[Update, 4 September 2020. Seems that I was wrong; the BBC has now thrown a few crumbs her way: “In 2020, she and fellow comedian Fern Brady started a podcast for the BBC called Wheel of Misfortune, which is obviously based in [sic] the Wheel of Fortune.” [Wikipedia]]
“Count Dankula”/Mark Meechan [below] exposes the hypocrisy of those who defend Jo Brand but not, er, him! Fair enough, but where were you, Mr. Meechan, when Alison Chabloz was facing persecution and prosecution? Where were you, on your precious “social media”, when I myself was traduced in the msm? Nowhere. So that’s where you are and will stay: nowhere!
I'm honestly really enjoying all the hypocrisy coming from people who came after me but are defending Jo Brand.
"Jo is a comedian and free speech in comedy is important"
"What about Dankula?"
"Well you see that's different because *verbal diarrhea*"
This one (below) apparently reviews newspapers on Sky News sometimes. Seems that she cannot reach even their usual low standards, never having heard (it seems) of Alison Chabloz, Mark Meechan, or the fellow whose family was subjected to a police raid because they made a joking remark about a Guy Fawkes bonfire in their own garden. Or are edgy “jokes” OK unless they mention Jews and Gypsies?
Here, below, the columnist Allison Pearson answers the tweet of Jew Zionist scribbler Hugo Rifkind:
I don’t mind what Jo Brand said. I do mind that the double standard is: Leftwing makes nasty remark: oh, free speech, no one cares Rightwing does same: Hate speech! Sinister! Fascist! Get them sacked. https://t.co/aoPK8m278p
In fact, it seems that a great number of people do not approve of the so-called “joke” by Jo Brand (the bitch wouldn’t know a joke if it splattered all over her…). Strangely enough, few if any of her critics make money out of the BBC…
Here is the moment Jo Brand mocked Carl Benjamin for making an offensive joke promoting a police investigation. "I think it shocking that politics has been reduced to vile personal attacks" she added. pic.twitter.com/0E9xthuvjc
I just think #jobrand and others who inhabit these right-on patronising middle class circles and say things just to get cheap laughs from their metropolitan elite pals, should think about what they are saying and maybe realise ‘it’s not all about them’https://t.co/mYQgwePD0h
and here’s another BBC hypocrite: Jimmy Carr. Makes millions (literally) from the BBC and other msm, was exposed as a tax-dodger in 2012, but tries to pose as both somehow “radical” and as terribly “edgy”.
Here’s another example of Jimmy Carr humour, laughing at British service personnel who have been badly-injured:
“In October 2009, Carr received criticism from several Sunday tabloid newspapers for a joke he made about British soldiers who had lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying that the UK would have a strong team in the London 2012 Paralympic Games.[34] Carr defended his own joke as “totally acceptable” in an interview with The Guardian.”
[Wikipedia]
Why is he still around? The little bastard only jokes at the expense of those who cannot fight back. Why has no serving soldier or ex-military person *explained* the matter to Jimmy Carr?
Alexander Nekrassov not mincing his words! Go, Sasha!
Jokes aside that ugly leftist cunt #JoBrand did incite hatred against Farage and his party. Mind you, the whole #BBC network incites hatred daily against whites, conservatives, followers of 3 major faiths, normality, sanity and common sense. Disgusting cesspit of far-left filth.
— Alexander Nekrassov (@StirringTrouble) June 13, 2019
Nekrassov with another point which applies not only to Jo Brand but a hundred or more others:
A stray thought: does Jo Brand fantasize about acid being thrown on people she dislikes, or with whom she disagrees, because her own face already looks as though acid has been thrown on it?
Below, rent-a-mouth BBC ignoramus James O’Brien defends disgusting Jo Brand. Apparently, it’s OK to “joke” about Nigel Farage having battery acid thrown at him, because “it was on a comedy show”. Funny, I never saw O’Brien and his type stand up for Alison Chabloz and her comedic songs…Must be that it’s OK to joke about acid being thrown —on a named person who has already had other stuff thrown on him recently— but not OK to lampoon the proven Jewish frauds and fakes of the “holocaust” mythus…(we really are just “occupied” in this poor country…)
[Update, 4 November 2021: Looks as though the BBC had O’Brien delete his tweet. No surprise there; I would only be surprised had O’Brien the courage of his convictions].
…and now look at who’s looking for trouble!
Tim so you are clear. I would pour whatever I can get my hands on, on an avowed White Supremacist. My ancestors died fighting this shit. I don’t give two bloody hoots what your apologist arse thinks about it. (that’s me being polite) You lay down with dogs you get fleas. https://t.co/njmNNmzq8p
His ancestors “died fighting” what he is pleased to call “this shit” (meaning white civilization), he says. Thus speaks David Lammy MP, barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, to which I myself belonged before the Jew Zionist cabals procured my disbarment in 2016, an injustice no doubt applauded by barrister Lammy (he only practised actively at the Bar for a few years, and at a very low level, doing the simplest criminal cases).
When did his “ancestors” “die fighting”? In African tribal wars, or attacking the police at the 1980s Broadwater Farm riots; or in more recent gang activity? I do not know the bastard’s background in detail, so cannot guess. Lammy seems to want a fight himself, judging by the inflammatory nature of his tweets. He obviously has a violent nature. In fact he supports corporal punishment too. He is out of place in the UK, in Europe.
I think that at one time Lammy hoped to become the first black Attorney-General, but was beaten to it by Patricia Scotland (who was rubbish, and went on on to be rubbish at the Commonwealth Secretariat as well, but that is another issue). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Scotland#Expenses_controversy . The price of so-called “diversity”? Labour’s travails since 2009 and his own odd behaviour seem to have put paid to Lammy’s ministerial ambitions. He was (briefly) a Minister of State (non-Cabinet) under crazed bully and psycho case Gordon Brown, but now is just a backbencher and will stay one. Still, not a bad little earner for someone whose huge ignorance is regularly highlighted.
One has to question whether a society like that of the UK can survive, when its key and/or prestige institutions prefer such as David Lammy to someone like me, when the BBC and its highly-paid drones pay lip-service to incitement to horrific violence, and when those guilty have mostly so far got away without having been taken down.
Cowardly #JoBrand moves from encouraging people to post shit through letterboxes to #acidattacks – literally & legally terrorism, but don't expect PC Plod to lift a finger. If it makes you angry, stop paying the #BBC licence fee!https://t.co/7ANhESvxee
Never say never: cretinous “diversity hire” David Lammy is now Foreign Secretary! What an insult to the white people who built this country! He is a total idiot, and totally ignorant. Just a puppet on a stick, marked “diversity”.
Well, here we are on 6 June 2019. Peterborough by-election day, but also the 75th commemoration of the Normandy Landings, aka D-Day. There has been wall-to-wall coverage on BBC News, ITV News and Sky News.
Preamble
This is not the place in which to discuss whether the Second World War could have been avoided (on the Western Front, in Western Europe generally; I think that it could have been). This is not the place in which to discuss whether the British Empire and the German Reich could have concluded an honourable armistice after the Fall of France (I think that they might have done; Germany made about ten separate offers).
It is important to note that these anniversaries are made use of by the Jewish Zionist element. Which is partly why they are pushed so hard on TV. Another chance to remind the masses about “the Nazis”, about how bad they supposedly were, and about how “necessary” it was to declare war on Germany, and eventually to defeat “the Nazis” (and so, Germany).
My own father was too young to be in the armed forces for much of WW2, though he was, near the end of the war, recruited by lot as a “Bevin Boy” (he was born and brought up in County Durham), and worked both in coal mining and later a shipyard (after the war, he became a professional footballer). Ironically, that service, far from the front lines of the war, killed him about 70 years later (via exposure to asbestos in a shipyard).
My maternal grandfather served as a soldier throughout WW2 and was both at Dunkirk and, rather later, in Burma.
Overview of my outlook re. the Second World War
My view of the war, even leaving aside my general sympathy with National Socialism in terms of ideology and aspiration, is that, on the Western Front, it need not have happened and should not have happened. I believe the same about the First World War, incidentally.
More
Born in 1956, I was brought up, as people were then, with “the War” as a constant backdrop. My grandfather talked scarcely at all about his war service with the British Expeditionary Force in 1939-40, or with the Army in Burma for much of the rest of the war, though it affected his health. He did give the odd bit of advice when I, aged maybe 7 or 8, was laying out my little Airfix plastic soldiers (various armies, but including, I think, German, British Eighth Army, Japanese and US Marines). I remember a couple of his comments, such as that patrolling soldiers should always be following one another in a line if in jungle, never abreast.
Had my grandfather not already been in uniform by reason of having been in the Territorial Army in 1939, he might never have served actively in the war at all, being at the time 38 or 39 years old (the usual cut-off age was 41). That’s Fate…
As mentioned above, people of my age who were brought up in the 1950s and 1960s always had “the War” there, around, like the woodsmoke and burning leaf smell of autumn in those days. The Germans were regarded by children of my age as honourable enemies (unlike the Japanese) and not some force of malign and almost cosmic evil, as the Jews try to make out now.
The Jewish “holocaust” propaganda and historical distortion that is now pervasive had not then really started in a big way. Also, the unspoken narrative was that Britain had suffered and struggled and “won the war”. The —in fact, overwhelming— input of the USA and the Soviet Union was popularly regarded (not only by children) as being at best no more (even taken together!) than that of the UK.
Churchill (as myth) hung over the scene like a Mount Rushmore presidential sculpture or —with apology to Jane Russell— like a thundercloud, only equalled by the leader of the “German hordes”, Hitler.
The UK at that time (1960s) was still basically homogenous racially, certainly outside London or some port cities. In places like Reading, where I was born, and on the edge of which I lived until age 10 (my family was then in Sydney for 3 years), there were few blacks and browns (in fact, barring a family of Anglo-Indians whom we knew, there were almost none). The only black I recall seeing in England in the early/mid 1960s was the NHS consultant at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading who treated me for hearing impairment at age 7 or 8. He was from somewhere in the Caribbean. The country was then still a nation. The various war anniversaries were just part of the landscape, along with Trooping of the Colour, the Royal Tournament (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tournament), the University Boat Race, Ascot, the Queen etc.
Today
Today, the UK is split and fissured racially, ethnically, economically, ideologically. It is scarcely a nation at all.
Today, with the “D-Day” ceremonies, the old Establishment or old Britain had its day in the sun: the unthinking royalists, the BBC and other msm, the remnants of the British armed forces (both of WW2 vintage and from today’s depleted armed services).
Though today’s ceremonies were in similar format to those of the past, there was, despite the wall-to-wall BBC/ITV/Sky news coverage, an end of the season feel. I wondered how many millions were really watching the seemingly endless TV.
I very much doubt that any but a tiny percentage of the ethnic minorities watched the shows today. Fewer will have understood the background even in the cartoon form presented by the TV people (Good v. Evil etc).
I would be prepared to bet that less than 1% of the population under 25 years of age watched more than a minute or two of the news coverage about the ceremonies in England and France. Same applies to most persons of non-European origin.
What we see here are two UKs: there is
the official, Establishment UK, together with the msm and the Jewish Zionist element (who latch onto anything “Second World War” as an opportunity to re-demonize National Socialist Germany); and the few now very elderly people who were at least in their teens in 1944; and there is also
the real UK, which is vastly more numerous and mostly has no interest in what happened in 1944.
In fact, it occurs to me that that division (between those who regard today’s ceremonies as hugely important, and those who regard them as of no interest or importance) reflects the change in UK society, and also that in UK politics. There is a chasm between what, say, the BBC or Sky think important, and what the bulk of the public think. A difference of orientation, of what is in the emotional life and which will eventually change political life.
As I write, Trooping of the Colour, held today, is not trending on Twitter (not that Twitter is the world) anything like as much as the Michael Gove cocaine scandal. Point made, I think. These events (Trooping of the Colour, WW2/WW1 anniversaries etc) have some significance for the elderly, perhaps to some extent for those who (like me, aged 62) prefer not to think of themselves as elderly quite yet; for some (a minority) of white (i.e. real) British/English people, but not at all for the “broad masses” and certainly not, speaking in group terms, for the ethnic minorities.
Yet the System is still trying to interest the people in such things. Look at this tweet by Tom Newton Dunn of the Sun “newspaper” [below]: May Bank Holiday changed date next year.
Excl: Next year's May Day bank holiday being moved to Friday so the whole nation gets the day off to mark 75th anniversary of VE Day – May 8, 1945https://t.co/2DSAnSfiPb
The fact is, that moving a one-day holiday to a different date is not going to have much if any impact on the public, whatever amount of “news coverage” (propaganda) is pumped out. It just does not now have much emotional impact on most people in the UK, not even those of (real) British origin (and let’s not pretend that the Africans, West Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese etc in the UK are somehow at one with the descendants of the Huguenots or those of long-ago Viking/Norman origin etc…).
As the Second World War recedes in memory and time, these commemorations become ever less relevant. The Jewish Zionist element has latched onto them in a parasitic way, as a method of pursuing its anti-Third Reich, anti-anti-Semitism message, along with pushing the “holocaust” fable and industry. It has less resonance with every year that passes, though.
It is the measure of the national self delusion still abroad that the question as to whether “D-Day” could be mounted today, in 2019 [see tweet below], could ever be asked!
…”These commemorations allow us reflect. It is a stark reminder of the perils we face if we drop our guard. The haunting question is – could we do it all again?” His article here: https://t.co/iOA1zUmqW9
Tobias Ellwood MP [Con, Bournemouth East] may have reached the exalted rank of Army captain (Royal Greenjackets), but either is ignorant of history, strategy and geopolitics, or (far more likely) is talking in this manner in order to boost the MOD budget. He cannot seriously imagine that Britain could ever mount another Normandy Landings operation! In fairness to Ellwood, he does write:
“But we must not kid ourselves. Pressures on the defence budget since the end of the Cold War have left us with one deployable division of 35,000 personnel who could not fight a sustained campaign without allied support.” [The Sun]
In fact, Britain on its own would have been unable to do “D-Day” even in 1944 without huge American, Canadian (etc) assistance. The very first day, ie “D-Day” itself, airborne soldiers (mainly British, American, and Canadian) numbering 24,000 were dropped into battle. Behind them, the rest of the 150,000-strong assault force.
That of course was not the entirety of Allied forces, which numbered in the millions across the world. The total of engaged participants on all sides has been estimated at 100 millions.
Britain now (as Ellwood writes) has 1 deployable brigade of 35,000. That, leaving aside rear echelon and headquarters contingents of every kind, is pretty much the usable British Army now, though official figures state 81,500 regulars and 27,000 reserves (former TA):
Compare the figures: in 1945, over 3 million (in the Army alone, not including other arms); in 1980, just before the Falklands campaign, 222,000 (mostly regulars, at that); even in 2010, 155,000. Now the Army (regular and reserves) numbers about 108,000 officially and probably greatly fewer in reality. The Army, Navy, Air Force are losing 2,000 men and women a year.
Then there is the lift capacity, by air and sea. Hugely depleted.
The fact is that the UK could not even repeat the Falklands re-invasion today, the British Task Force fleet then consisting of 127 ships, including 43 Royal Navy vessels (the last figure not being the whole of the Royal Navy by any means). Today, the Navy only claims about 74 ships worldwide, and only 31 of those are large combat vessels and submarines (the rest are small vessels such as minesweepers, patrol launches etc).
In 1939, the Navy had over 1,400 ships. That figure did not include supply ships. “By the end of the [Second World] war the Royal Navy comprised over 4,800 ships, and was the second largest fleet in the world” [Wikipedia].
I get the impression that there is a sizeable and entirely ignorant part of the British public (and it seems to include Gavin Williamson MP, until recently Defence Secretary!)…
…which actually believes that the UK could “take on” Russia, or China, or both! I see tweets urging British intervention in Syria, for example. Even in the (madly stupid) British bombing of Libya some years ago, the UK was dependent on French and Italian help.
These delusions have political consequences.
Update, 11 June 2019
Point proven? [see tweet below]. Note how this Bengali woman, Ash Sarkar, persists in saying “we” and “us” and “our” [British], just because she was born in the UK (assuming that she was)… talk about “cultural appropriation”!
At some point, baby boomers are gonna have to stop invoking a war they never fought in. pic.twitter.com/uKFGXB4D8T
Well, the Iranians have seized British-registered ships in the Gulf of Hormuz. Bad boys. Oh, wait…turns out that not one of the officers and crew are British, and anyway this is tit-for-tat because the British seized an Iranian ship at Gibraltar “on suspicion” that it might be breaking the sanctions regime imposed basically by the USA. In fact, this whole incident was caused at root by that idiot Trump having torn up the agreement with the Iranians re. uranium enrichment. Looks like “perfidious Albion” has been superseded by “unreliable Yankee-Doodle”…
The relevant point here is that the UK Foreign Secretary (Jeremy Hunt) is talking about “consequences” for Iran, but in reality all that the UK can do is rattle sabres a little and freeze funds in the City of London. Britain cannot do much in terms of gunboat diplomacy for a very cogent reason— Britain has few gunboats.
I am impelled to write a few words about Peter Hitchens after having just seen an interview with Owen Jones [see below], which interview dates from 2017.
I have already written a blog post about Owen Jones:
To examine the views and influence of Hitchens in detail would necessitate a blog article of inordinate length, but Wikipedia has a considerable amount of information about him:
I should like to focus mainly on a few matters raised in that interview.
As to Hitchens himself, he is an odd fellow, apparently fairly well-educated. His family background had elements of tragedy (his mother bolted with an unfrocked priest, and the couple later died via a suicide pact in an Athens hotel). Not mentioned in the interview is that Hitchens (like Owen Jones) has part-Jewish roots, his maternal grandmother having been half-Jewish, in that her mother was Jewish. It was on that basis that Hitchens’ even more eccentric brother, Christopher, declared himself in latter years to be “Jewish” (taking the traditional Jewish course of deciding via the matrilineal side alone).
The interview mentions his having attended a naval school, but that must have been in early years, he then having attended The Leys School, Cambridge, an institution which has schooled a number of well-known people: at least one Rothschild, a few kings (albeit from Bahrain and Tonga), a number of MPs and journalists (in some cases both, as with Martin Bell).
Hitchens then went on to the City of Oxford College (a college of further education) and finally to Alcuin College, part of the University of York.
It may be that the university education and milieu that Hitchens found in Alcuin College permanently influenced his attitude. Wikipedia says of Alcuin College that,
“From early days of the college an uproar for secession of the college from the remainder of the university has been present.[3] It is a self-styled Separatist Movement and at times presented as a running gag at the University of York about Alcuinites….For many years Alcuin College was very much the outcast on the university campus, the only college physically separate from the others except for a bridge from the library…“
The photograph of Alcuin College in winter shows an almost Soviet bleakness and isolation.
Hitchens, though characterizing himself in the Owen Jones interview as having been a “joiner” in his youth, has also been an outsider, defector and maverick. I wonder whether he applied to the University of York because Oxford and/or Cambridge (in both of which cities he had attended school) refused his application, or perhaps he made no application to Oxbridge because (I speculate) his developing extreme socialist views made him reject such “bourgeois” places of learning. A better interviewer than Owen Jones, such as the late and great Brian Walden, might have explored all that.
Hitchens was from 1968 (aged 17) to 1975, a member of the Trotskyist “tendency” called the International Socialists [IS], the forerunner of the Socialist Workers’ Party [SWP]. He joined two years before he went to York. Later, in his forties, he became a card-carrying member of the Conservative Party, but only for the six years 1997-2003, and —typically— at the very nadir of Conservative fortunes, which is interesting, psychologically. Does he court unpopularity? Does he deliberately express unpopular or contrary views?
Hitchens is known as what might fairly be called a “reactionary”, someone who thinks that Britain was a better place in the 1950s, no ifs no buts. In fact, I believe that I watched him say that or something like that on TV once. My own view is different, that some aspects of life in the UK are better now, though many are certainly worse. This blog post is about Peter Hitchens, not Ian Millard, but in my view, things that are better now than in the 1950s (which I scarcely remember, having been born in 1956) or the early 1960s (which I certainly do remember) would include
central heating as the norm;
wider selection of fruits and vegetables (and in general a healthier or at least more varied diet);
less antiquated snobbism;
more understanding of animal welfare;
far easier access to information (via Internet);
Whereas, on the other side, the aspects of British life now that mean that UK life is worse (than in the early 1960s, anyway) are (and Hitchens has a point, because it is a longer list by far)
the general pressure of life now (of course, I was a child in, say, 1963, so my perception is affected to that extent but I think the judgment is still valid);
pervasive lack of freedom of expression;
pervasive “political correctness” etc;
the cost of living, though that is a complex question; it includes
the cost of real property both for sale and rent, and the impossibility for most people to buy a property without family money;
British people swamped by mass immigration;
real pay and social benefits etc generally reducing;
hugely less choice of employment for most people;
many people in full-time work unable to live on the poor pay offered;
unwanted millions of immigrants and their offspring;
congested roads and railways (and refer to the above line);
a huge new mixed-race population;
a huge amount of crime;
public and private housing shortages (refer to immigration, above);
huge numbers of drug-contaminated persons;
workers exploited in terms of having ever-shorter lunch breaks etc, “on call” after hours etc;
public services near to collapse in some respects;
intensive farming, with consequent harm to wildlife;
standards in all areas (NHS, schools, social security, Westminster MPs, police etc) falling like a stone
We often hear (eg from very young Remain whiners) that, eg, “foreign travel is easier now”, whereas that is mostly illusion. True, there were some silly aspects “back then”, such as being restricted as to foreign currency taken on holiday (you even had to have the amount, bought from somewhere like Thomas Cook, written in your passport!), and that silliness (a kind of postwar sacred cow) lasted until Mrs Thatcher stopped it in 1979 or 1980! Yes, true, but that was about it.
If you listen to Remain whiners (esp. the under-30s), you read or hear that Brexit will mean either no visa-free travel to the EU states, or no travel allowed at all! They really believe that, pre-1972, British people were almost imprisoned, as if Cuban, Chinese or Soviet citizens!
Until blacks and browns abused it in the 1980s to import relatives illegally, you used to be able to get a “British Visitor’s Passport” from post offices for a small amount; the passport was valid for short visits to almost all Western European states (not many people went to Eastern Europe as tourists until the 1990s). I had one in 1978 or 1979, in between possession of two ordinary passports, when I wanted to travel to France at short notice. I think that it cost about £5 and took about 5 minutes to be issued at Lanark Road Post Office, Little Venice.
Transport to the European mainland: true, there were no budget airlines as such in the 1950s, 1960s, but there were routes and ways not now in existence: in the 1950s and 1960s, people could take their cars by air to France! The main route was Lydd (Kent) to Amiens. This was not only for the rich: 5,000 cars (20,000 passengers) as early as 1950, and over 50,000 cars (250,000 passengers) by 1955 (incredible when you recall that rationing lasted until 1955!):
The idea that some Remain whiners have that young people will be unable to travel if the UK leaves “Europe” (meaning the EU) is laughable to those who know. As a child I travelled with parents; and then (from 1971) as a teenager, I travelled alone to Paris, Amsterdam etc. No visa required, UK not in EEC (the then EU).
I might add that it actually takes longer to fly to Paris in 2019 than it did in 1970 or even 1960!
One cannot say that Hitchens approves of that aspect of 1950s lifestyle, though, and (if I understand him aright), he thinks that the British war against Germany could have been avoided, but I may be mistaken here. He certainly thinks that of the First World War, which he says, surely rightly, destroyed British naval supremacy and economy.
Where Hitchens is certainly mistaken is in saying (in the interview) that Churchill’s refusal to countenance the German peace proposals of 1940 was “unquestionably the right and moral thing to do”. Oh really? Right and moral, to continue a war only started because triggered by a treaty obligation that could never have been fulfilled (the Anglo-French worthless “guarantee” to Poland) and when an honourable peace via armistice was on the table?
Such a peace might have been bought at the price of German victory in the East, but would that have been so bad? The destruction of the Stalin/Bolshevik regime? The saving of most of Eastern Europe from both wartime destruction and post-1945 Stalinism? The prevention of the enormous damage, loss of life and hurt across Western and Southern Europe and North Africa? Hitchens says, however, that he is “sceptical” about Churchill overall.
Hitchens is on surer ground when he says that British history has gone, in that no-one knows British history. He cites David Cameron-Levita being unable to translate the two words “Magna Carta” from Latin! After 6 years at Eton! That was when “Scameron” was a guest on the Letterman Show. Shaming for the whole country. Not just the Magna Carta bit. Cameron came over more like a part-Jew public entertainer (and not a good one) than a British statesman. Oh…wait…
[the bit about Magna Carta starts around 8 minutes in]
Scameron was also proven, though I think on another occasion, not to have heard of the Bill of Rights! Hitchens cites an apparently intelligent 6th-former whom he met, and who had passed exams in English History, and yet who did not know which side Oliver Cromwell was on during the English Civil War!
I have had similar encounters. Few people under 40 now know even the most basic facts about British history, and less about European history generally. An indictment of the British educational system. One should, though, be wary of thinking that this kind of ignorance developed overnight. I recall having a brief conversation with a South London couple I met by a swimming pool in Sousse, Tunisia, in 1986, and who, it transpired, had no idea at all that what is now Tunisia had been (part of) a Roman imperial province. Not knowing who was Nelson or Drake, though, is arguably of a different order.
Hitchens says, again correctly, that “we” “have no idea now what it means to be English or British”, but does not go on to examine the racial implications. Come to think of it, that may be one reason why so many people in the UK want to denounce others to Twitter, Facebook, the police, employers etc for holding the “wrong” views, i.e. because the denouncers have no idea of the English historical struggle for free speech (John Hampden etc…) and no respect for it.
Owen Jones talks about how open-minded (he says…) Corbyn is, and implies that he, Jones, is the same. Oh yes? Take a look at my blog post about him…
Hitchens himself is really little different. He once had a short and at first reasonable discussion with me on Twitter about the early Zionists, in 2017 or 2016, but then a Jew tweeted to him about how I was apparently an evil “neo-Nazi”, after which, just like Owen Jones, inter alia, Hitchens blocked me. I was unaware then that Hitchens is part-Jew, though not to the extent that would have rendered him liable to sanctions under the 1936 Nuremberg law(s), his maternal grandmother having been only part-Jew (Mischling) and his maternal grandfather not a Jew. In fact, under those laws he would even have been able to work as a journalist.
Hitchens says that Enoch Powell’s so-called “Rivers of Blood” speech “was a disgrace”. Why? He dislikes its tone, it seems. What about its truth, though? He also says that “the intermarriage [resulting from immigration] is great”. I begin to wonder what major part of modern British society he does dislike, when push comes to shove! To be fair to Hitchens, he does disapprove of the ghetto communities established by Pakistanis and others in, mainly, the Midlands and North of England. He is certainly not “white nationalist”, let alone social-national. If he were, he would be sacked at once. Long live freedom!…
An area in which I do find myself largely in agreement with Hitchens is in intervention by the “West” (in my terms, “NWO/ZOG”) in the affairs of the Middle East. Iraq, Syria, Libya. He opposes it. That’s something.
As to Russia, Hitchens seems to take an objective view (informed by better historical knowledge than most msm scribblers), eg:
I apprehend that Hitchens likes the social conservatism of most Russians.
So what is my overall view of Peter Hitchens? I should say that he is someone of considerable intellect, though nowhere near as intelligent as he himself imagines. Someone of considerable education, but who imagines that he knows more and better than almost anyone else, and believes that it is his role in life to pronounce on the truth of any given social, political, historical or ethical topic. Someone who harks back to a supposed golden age prior to, perhaps, 1959, or 1989 (at very latest). Someone who sees what is wrong in the present society but appears to have no programme or (Heaven forbid!) ideology to move from here to there (to a better society).
Hitchens takes a reasonable view such as “the family is a good thing” and tests it to destruction. Likewise, in his critique of both socialism and the contemporary Conservative Party, he goes to an extreme, saying that the Conservative Party is “extreme Left-wing”, by which he means “socially liberal”. He defends traditional marriage and his arguments here have force.
Hitchens thinks that the Conservative Party is dying (understandable, looking at its MPs and ministers) but, yet again, goes to an extreme, wishing that it could have lost the 2010 General Election so that it might have died, and so made room for a new and socially-conservative party. I wish that it had lost too, but for other reasons!
Hitchens reminds me of two other scribblers of note, Peter Oborne and (now rather forgotten) Paul Johnson.
All three are often intuitively correct on some issues, risibly mistaken on others. They are alike in other ways, too. As the Russians say, they are all “Maximalisti”.
Hitchens (like Owen Jones) blocked me on Twitter for ideological reasons. Hitchens (like Owen Jones) makes a very comfortable living from the System msm. Hitchens (like Owen Jones) poses no danger to the existing state of affairs, despite making much noise. Hitchens (like Owen Jones) is a mass media pussycat pretending to be a tiger.
I like to read Hitchens’ words occasionally. He is often right, not always. However, his words are commentary, not inspiration. He says in the interview that Britain is finished and that the only serious history of contemporary Britain will one day be written in Chinese! Maybe, but God moves in mysterious though sometimes sanguinary ways. As a Christian and a student of history, Hitchens should know that.
Hitchens’ recent book (which I have not yet read, but which promises to be at least as myth-shattering as those of the unjustly neglected historian Correlli Barnett)
Update, 18 September 2020
Since the above was written, Peter Hitchens has been almost a lone voice struggling against the “Coronavirus” panic and the allied government-proclaimed fear propaganda.
Update, 24 April 2022
Hitchens is now in the small minority of public figures unwilling to go along with the msm noise against Russia, and for Ukraine (meaning the Kiev regime of the Jew-Zionist Zelensky).
On the face of it, a clear case, with no doubt about the immediately-relevant facts. The defendant admitted to the crime and was sentenced to a year in prison. There are some nuances, however.
Obviously, criminal damage cannot be tolerated, and it is certainly not very nice and certainly not very polite to daub words on the door of a neighbouring dwelling; but to my mind the sentence was harsh.
The defendant was sentenced to a year in prison and will therefore be released in 6 months’ time, possibly earlier. The chances are that he will lose his local authority home. I have no idea what possessions or companion animals he may have, but unless he has friends or family somewhere to look after them, they too will be lost. He will come out of prison with nowhere to go, and may not be rehoused if some local penpusher decrees that he made himself homeless by his own actions.
That is part of the background. Then we have the point that the defendant had no previous convictions save for a silly one, 27 years previously, involving a “sick-note”.
In view of the fact that the local authority would probably take the crime to be a breach of lease terms or conditions, and so would take away the defendant’s home anyway, would it not have been more just simply to have given this defendant a suspended sentence?
This looks like kicking a man when he is down. At the same time, we see the courts daily giving thugs, thieves etc non-sentences. Of course, this was a “racial” crime…the courts have obviously been told to treat any offence having a “racial” element more seriously (harshly), in an attempt to keep the doomed multikulti society from falling to pieces.
I noticed, also, that the victims were from the Congo. Again, I do not know the full facts, but it is odds-on that what we have here are either “refugees” or economic migrants who have left Africa in order to settle in the UK. Odds-on, again, that the British people (including the defendant) are paying for the victims to live here and breed.
The case above reminds me of one about 25 years ago in Hammersmith, in which a man was driven half-mad by the incessant noise of blacks and their “music”, parties etc in the flat above his dwelling; so much so that he burned them out, killing several. He got a sentence, I think, of about 10 years for manslaughter and arson. Again, the act can scarcely be “justified”, perhaps, but it can be understood. Legally, provocation does not exist and provides no defence in such a case. In real-life terms, though, I think that many will feel a little sorry for such a defendant.
There is a further point: the defendant in the immediate case in question felt the need to say that he is not “racist” (perhaps after consultation with solicitors or Counsel). So even he himself felt the need to “virtue-signal”! If he or his advisers thought that a display of “contrition” and “I’m not racist” protesting would mitigate the sentence, they seem to have been mistaken.
There is also the point that, as hundreds of thousands of blacks and browns etc flood into the UK every year, and as politicians bleat about the “need” to destroy what is left of the countryside in order to build little boxes for migrants on agricultural land and forested land, very many fully-entitled British people are homeless (after today’s sentence, add another one, 6 months down the line).
I am at present also preparing a blog post about Peter Hitchens, who thinks that the UK is doomed in terms of its present society. I suppose that most of us hope that he is wrong. I also suppose that he is probably right.
A comet has appeared in the UK’s political skies. Its name is Brexit Party. It is running at about 30% in the opinion polls re. the EU elections to be held on 23 May 2019, while in respect of Westminster elections, it is on about 15%. The EU elections may not be of much importance except as a popularity contest, but for a new party without any policies at all (except to get out from under the EU) to be at 15% indicates a groundswell of public disquiet which may have huge consequences one way or another in domestic UK politics.
[note: even as I write, the polling figures above are out of date! One very recent poll now has Brexit Party at 34% for the EU elections and 20% re Westminster voting intention, with Conservatives only on 19% for Westminster and 13% for the EU elections; has the Conservative vote ever been that low? I think not; even in the Blair-Labour landslide of 1997, the Conservatives polled in the actual election at 30.7%].
It now looks as though some of my early blogging was prescient indeed, if I myself may say so. “Give that man a cee-gar”!
Exclusive Telegraph poll: for the first time Brexit Party is in second place in general election polling – BP on 20%, Tories on 19% – on course to win 49MPS – Tories lose over 130 seats including Johnson and Rudd – Labour in minority governmenthttps://t.co/YGVFr3Y6bL
The Brexit Party gets more popular by the day, with 34% now intending to back them in the European elections – more than the Labour and Conservative Parties COMBINED. The 17.4m have been betrayed by our political class for years, and now we're going to MAKE them listen!
There are signs of panic in the main System parties:
“A ComRes poll for the Sunday Telegraph showed that if a Westminster general election were called, Labour would reap the largest share of the vote with 27%; the Brexit party would garner 20% ahead of the Conservatives on 19%. The Liberal Democrats would win 14%, followed by ChangeUK (7%) and the Greens (5%) with Ukip trailing on 2%.” [The Guardian]
I come from a certain direction: I recall the limited but real popularity of the National Front [NF] in the mid-1970s, and saw at first hand how outside forces made use of internal dissensions in order to destroy the NF as an effective party and movement. I believe (though without having any direct or personal knowledge) that similar events may have happened to explode the British National Party [BNP].
The National Front and BNP were both broadly social-nationalist, whereas UKIP is broadly nationalist but lacking the para-socialist element ideologically. Brexit Party has taken on UKIP’s “nationalist” or “patriotic” mantle despite having no published policies at all beyond leaving the EU.
It is easy to speculate about why the course of events happens, harder to pin down the exact or even approximate facts. Many casually blame, or designate as important, the operations of Zionists, Israel, MI5, SIS, MOSSAD, unnamed State agencies, freemasons, occult spiritual groups etc.
Every party or movement has internal tensions. As a John le Carre character remarked, “Jesus Christ only had 12 agents, and one of those was a double” [meaning “double-agent”].
The art of influencing events from the shadows is not to be identified or identifiable as a moving force.
Coming back to Brexit Party, there are known facts. The extraordinary political showman (as some would have it, “snake-oil salesman”), Nigel Farage, was leader of UKIP for decades. He in fact was in UKIP almost at the start, and is often termed one of the founders, though he was not the actual founder, who was an academic called Allan Sked.
“Sked is a member of the British-American Project, which exists to promote Britain’s political ties to the U.S.” [Wikipedia].
“During the administration of President Bill Clinton in the US, the Australian journalist John Pilger attacked the BAP as an example of “Atlanticist freemasonry.” He asserted in November 1998 that “many members are journalists, the essential foot soldiers in any network devoted to power and propaganda.” [Wikipedia].
Here is one msm drone who belongs to that British-American Project:
Yes, that’s right. Yasmin-Alibhai-Brown, the supposedly “radical”, “anti-imperialist” “journalist” (in fact, totally unqualified and inexperienced in true journalism, just a ranting loudmouth).
Another member of the very same organization is BBC journalist James Naughtie, most of whose views are, at least superficially, totally different from those of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown…
The British-American Project contains a large number of UK-based (and other) journalists (and others), of supposedly diverse views. I wonder if their views and motives are as “diverse” as they seem to be at first blush.
Only today, on the Andrew Marr Show [BBC 1 TV], Marr tried to trash Nigel Farage and Brexit Party, but Farage was able to crush Marr easily in the end.
System drones like Marr do not seem to understand that populist movements such as UKIP (a few years ago) or Brexit Party (now) are the last chance for the System to listen to the British people and so avert an explosion of justified political hatred which will, otherwise, roll over them like a tank over a cockroach.
Marr’s own (rarely admitted) views:
A typical pro-NWO, pro-ZOG, pro-EUmsm drone, paid until recently a million pounds a year by the BBC out of your “licence fee” (enforced tax) monies (apparently somewhat less now, after public uproar about the absurd salaries paid by the BBC to key propagandists).
Was the secret aim of UKIP to draw off nationalist sentiment from parties such as the BNP, i.e. to neutralize effective political opposition to NWO [New World Order] and ZOG [Zionist Occupation Government] in the UK by containing it, controlling it, monitoring it? Or was UKIP just a typically English amateur effort which mushroomed into something bigger. Or both of those?
Already, in looking at UKIP, we see the difficulty of unravelling the skein of motives: secret forces, public faces, ambitions, ideals, various personalities etc.
As recently as last year, Alan Sked said that “I founded UKIP. It’s a national joke now and should disappear.” [The Guardian]. Is that just sour grapes from a founder left behind? Is there anything else there? Had UKIP “done its job”, and so could be binned?
Until 2010, the BNP did better in all or almost all elections than did UKIP. It is hard to recall that, now that the UKIP star has risen and fallen and now that the BNP is just a tiny handful of back-room zealots. In its heyday, the BNP was more successful by far than UKIP. The BNP even had two MEPs (Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons).
Brexit Party is UKIP, but a UKIP which, like a snake, has shed its “skin” of various unwanted people, unwanted history etc and, unlike the snake, miraculously become far far more powerful, far more slick, far more able to capitalize on its “unique selling point”, the sheer hatred which many many people now feel for UK society as it now is (and also for the EU dictatorship).
Farage is the star of Brexit Party, as he was when in UKIP. Look at the clip below. Farage enters a hall packed with supporters. It echoes in a minor key the entrance of Adolf Hitler into the hall at the end of the 1935 Leni Riefenstahl film Triumph of the Will.
The Brexit party turned up in Newport, south Wales last night. A true Labour heartland. Usually. https://t.co/NoBovPxNCv
Farage can draw large crowds, as in this recent rally at Peterborough, where 2,000 supporters are said to have paid£10 each just to hear Farage speak. Few other politicians in the UK could get 200 (or even 20, in many cases) to turn up to hear them, even for free!
Peterborough rally for the Brexit Party. When was the last time British politics saw something like this?? Astonishing. They’re doing three rallies a week! pic.twitter.com/YVUlQnhTdw
Farage is the key to this. No Farage in UKIP means, effectively, no UKIP. Were there no Farage in Brexit Party, that party would also rapidly cease to exist.
Despite his public profile, Farage is to some degree an enigma. A metals trader, he was in employment as recently as 2003 and possibly even after that. He was elected as an MEP in 1999. He seems to have been a “Eurosceptic” (anti-EU) for a long time, voting Green Party in 1989: the Green Party was, at that time, Eurosceptic and not pro-mass-immigration. One wonders whether, had it not become a kind of middle class virtue-signallers’ party, Green Party might have had greater political success.
Farage created UKIP (not founded perhaps, but created) in his own image: anti-EU, free marketist (softened for tactical purposes), English more than British, not social-national, not “racist” (racialist), despite Farage making a few innocuous comments that only echoed what most white British people believe or feel. Brexit Party may or may not follow those lines, but we cannot say for sure, because Brexit Party, almost uniquely, has published literally no policies at all, save for Brexit itself.
I say “almost uniquely” because the surely-doomed Change UK, which can be taken to be the opposite pole to Brexit Party, also has no published policies (beyond staying in the EU). This is in fact consonant with earlier blogs and, until I was expelled from Twitter, tweets, i.e. that people in the UK, at least in England and Wales, are now voting against rather than for parties; voting tactically to block parties they dislike, rather than supporting the party they like. I have blogged before about this and how it is an outcome of the ludicrous UK electoral system.
I take Farage to be sincerely anti-EU, anti-socialist, possibly anti-immigration, but not to have any sophisticated socio-political or economic ideas. I have said before that Farage does not understand politics well, a surprising statement in view of his stellar public political performance. What I meant is that he has not developed any ideology, as such; neither has he a political programme; also, he has not much developed a party machine (with UKIP; we shall see what happens with Brexit Party).
I take Farage at face value, more or less; the same with his mass following. As to others, I am looking and seeing a strong Jewish element. Brexit Party already has a “Brexit Party Friends of Israel” group. There are other indications; the Brexit Party Treasurer is indirectly connected by marriage to the Rothschilds:
Brexit Party not only has Jewish influence but is open in general to persons of other and various ethnicities. Many candidates are not really British, certainly not of British origin.
Good afternoon Mr. Umunna. I am a candidate for the Brexit party. I am partly of Pakistani origin. There are many candidates of mixed ethnicity in our terrific party. You have the wrong end of the stick. May we pls meet to discuss your prejudices? Anytime that suits you. Pls say https://t.co/W6IdKODVMQ
Despite its paucity of policy and its multi-ethnic candidate list, many of those who support Brexit Party and also many of those who oppose it seem to think that it is somehow “nationalist”. It may be, but only in the very broadest sense.
In respect of candidates, one aspect I find very odd is that, out of about 60 or so Brexit Party EU election candidates, Brexit Party has no less than 3 who are former members of the (1978-1997) Revolutionary Communist Party. Remarkable from a tiny party which had so few members. If I were to suggest State involvement here, it would be without any real evidence, but it does give me pause all the same.
The Great Replacement, otherwise known as “migration-invasion” of Europe, is no mere “conspiracy theory”. United Nations and EU documents have laid out the conspiratorial globalist plan time and again. Only recently, EU and other political heads met in Marrakesh, Morocco, to pledge to assist African and Asian invasion of Europe, to replace European populations with alien black and brown populations.
This anti-white, anti-European campaign was built into the EU right from the start and conflated with the idea of a European “superstate”:
Jean Monnet was one of the principal freemasonic architects of the EU:
“Jean Omer Marie Gabriel Monnet (French: [ʒɑ̃ mɔnɛ]; 9 November 1888 – 16 March 1979) was a Frenchpolitical economist and diplomat.[1] An influential supporter of European unity, he is considered as one of the founding fathers of the European Union. Jean Monnet has been called “The Father of Europe” by those who see his innovative and pioneering efforts in the 1950s as the key to establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, the predecessor of today’s European Union.[2] Never elected to public office, Monnet worked behind the scenes of American and European governments as a well-connected pragmatic internationalist.” [Wikipedia]
“He was the first to be bestowed Honorary Citizen of Europe by the European Council of the European Union, for extraordinary work to promote European cooperation on 2 April 1976. Following this he became the first person alive to be pictured on a German stamp who was not also a German head of state.” [Wikipedia]
“In his book Praktischer Idealismus (Practical Idealism), written in 1925, he describes the future of Jews in Europe and of European racial composition with the following words:
The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroidrace of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals. […]
Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process.”
“Nazis considered the Pan-European Union to be under the control of Freemasonry.[27] In 1938, a Nazi propaganda book Die Freimaurerei: Weltanschauung, Organisation und Politik was released in German.[28] It revealed Coudenhove-Kalergi’s membership of Freemasonry, the organization suppressed by Nazis.” [Wikipedia]
“Hitler did not share the ideas of his Austrian compatriot. He argued in his 1928 Secret Book that they are unfit for the future defense of Europe against America. As America fills its North American lebensraum, “the natural activist urge that is peculiar to young nations will turn outward.” But then “a pacifist-democratic Pan-European hodgepodge state” would not be able to oppose the United States, as it is “according to the conception of that commonplace bastard, Coudenhove-Kalergi…”” [Wikipedia]
There are secret occult forces behind the founding and expansion of both USA and EU. They are not exclusively Jewish or Zionist, but there is a strong link, as there is to Freemasonry, and also to other groupings not publicly named. Forces of Evil.
Look at the tweet below, from the World Economic Forum at Davos, and retweeted by a pro-EU public relations drone, and which purports to show a wonderful “economic plan” to create a “trade route” (corridor) from Malta and the Mediterranean to Scandinavia. What is the real purpose here? To create a funnel from Africa to Northern Europe, through which migrant-invaders will be funnelled through the heart of Europe to destroy it racially and culturally.
The EU was never meant to be just a mutual-benefit trade bloc. It was always meant to be a monolithic superstate in which the white European populations could be mixed, eventually, with blacks and browns. Of course, that was never conveyed to the peoples of Europe, only to the self-appointed “elite”. In fact, some naive people supported the EU (and still do) because they imagined that it was European in race and culture and not only in geography. Thus we see the deliberate conflation by Remain drones, in the msm or on social media, of “EU” and “Europe“, as in “if Brexit happens, we shall be leaving Europe“, rather than “…leaving the EU.” The UK is part of Europe and always will be; it need not be part of the already-dictatorial EU superstate, which is deliberately importing the culturally inferior by the million.
How is it possible, though, for bothEU and Brexit Party to be heavily influenced by the same forces (ZOG, NWO etc)? Think of a bet whereby you could, in a two-horse race, win whichever horse puts its nose in front. Likewise, in the UK there are or were two or three main parties. The fix was/is into all of those parties. It does not matter (or did not, until Corbyn took over Labour) which party wins, because ZOG/NWO is embedded in all three “main parties” (things are changing now, though).
Brexit Party may have been partly set up with secret aims in mind, but these plans do not always go as planned. Brexit Party has mushroomed, almost exploded, in a way which was perhaps unforeseen even by Farage himself. These things happen in history. The events of the Russian Revolution spiralled out of control, or to use a different metaphor, spread like a wildfire from its modest beginnings in one city in the corner of a huge empire.
Why are voters flocking to Brexit Party? It cannot be because of Brexit Party’s policies, because it has none, or at least only one. I identify these factors:
the wish to have the Referendum of 2016 properly respected and complied with; but beyond that
the wish to hit out at the System parties and especially the mis-named “Conservative” Party, which under the influence of Jewish Zionism and globalism has trashed the UK (especially England and Wales) to the point where nothing works properly, where most people have neither security nor freedom, where the population is only about half really British now, and where standards in all areas are dropping like a stone (NHS, transport, education, real pay, State welfare benefits, animal welfare, environment etc). There is also the repression on thought and socio-political expression. “Free speech” scarcely exists now in the UK.
The wish to lash out is very strong now. The people can see that Brexit Party has the popular support to make it a credible vote at both EU and (so far) Westminster elections. People know (whether intellectually or instinctively) that a vote for Brexit Party is one that hits the Conservatives hard, much harder than voting, say, Labour. In any case, Labour itself is not supported by most people (not so much for policy reasons as because white English people especially do not like what they see around Corbyn: the blacks and browns, the semi-literate Angela Rayner types who would be in Cabinet, the creaking 1970s comic-book “Marxism” etc).
A vote for Brexit Party hits the Conservative Party hard not only in areas where Labour is strong but in areas where the Conservatives have prevailed for decades. As I blogged previously, if (as polls suggest) the Conservatives lose 60% or even 50% of their votes, they will lose 50-200 seats, to Labour, to Brexit Party itself, and, here and there, to the Liberal Democrats. That means (as I also blogged previously and to which the msm is now catching up) that
Brexit Party may actually win some —possibly 50, even 100— seats at Westminster;
The Conservative Party, which has outlived its usefulness, will fade and go the way of the Liberal Party after the First World War; and
Labour will (as I have predicted for 2 years) probably be largest party in the Commons, but will be unable to do whatever it wants, because it will be a minority government (almost certainly). People may well prefer that to a majority Labour government.
It can probably be said that, in Westminster constituencies where Labour is not now the first or second party in elections, even former Labour voters would be better to vote Brexit Party than to vote Labour, because in “Conservative” Westminster constituencies, a vote for Labour is going to be a wasted vote, whereas a vote for Brexit Party will quite possibly help to unseat the Conservative MP in question.
Speaking now from a social-national viewpoint, why do I welcome Brexit Party?
That is a simple question to answer. No matter what forces may be behind Brexit Party, no matter what forces influence it, its importance to me lies in its ability to smash the “three main parties” scam-system in the UK. A weak government, esp. Labour, would open the way to real social nationalism in a way never seen before.
The unreality of the “Remain” crowd can be gauged by the tweet below. Like so many of the twitterati, this fellow over-values Twitter. He actually thinks that he is achieving something by having a few hundred or a few thousand other Remain whiners in his echo-chamber retweet or “like” his pointless tweet. Result? Nothing, but he feels warm and justified. In fact, he is a public relations man whose Twitter output is largely a one-sided and pro-EU song of praise. I predict that 24 May 2019 will not be a pleasant day for him!
Looks as if Boris Idiot and Amber Rudd might both lose their seats at the next General Election. Conservative MPs will not be voting for either of them to be leader if there is every chance that they might lose their seats…Happy day!
Curtice: "The [Conservative] party faces the prospect of nothing less than a mass defection that could leave it with by far its worst ever result in a UK-wide ballot"https://t.co/PW0KpRPHiv#EP2019#brexit
Someone called Casper Hughes, writing in The Independent [see below], says that Brexit Party will have no effect on Westminster elections. That statement, I think, is probably wrong. For the following reasons:
first of all, like most unthinking scribblers and talking heads of the present time, he has not managed to free himself from the idea that there is a spectrum going from “far left” through “hard left”, “soft left”, “centre-left”, “centrist”, then to “centre-right”, “rightwing”, “hard right” and finally the —demonized— “far right”;
Casper Hughes labels, simplistically, a huge group as “rightwing voters”. It’s a meaningless phrase; it shows lack of real understanding;
politics is more nuanced now. People from all parts of the outdated “right”/”left” spectrum can, for example, be allied on animal rights, environment, economic outcomes (and even policies: rail and utility renationalization for example). It was Jack London who said “I am a socialist, but a white man first”;
it is a mistake to imagine that Brexit Party support is all about Brexit. The System betrayal of the EU Referendum result is one example of how the System has, in vulgar terms, shat on the white British people over and over, especially in the past 30 years or so. The Brexit Party is a chance (like the 2016 EU Referendum itself) to kick the System “parties” (which form, to a large extent, one party with 2-3 faces).
people are currently (since at least 2015) voting against, not for. The article does to some extent acknowledge that. That means that people are voting not for Brexit Party and its sole policy, but to stamp on Con and Lab (and LibDem) as well as voting —yes— for Brexit, i.e. to leave the EU properly, without strings;
people generally now realize that a conspiracy is stealing Brexit, against the “democracy” we are supposed to have in the UK; they want to fight against that; the traditional voters for the “main parties” are not as dominant as they were. In 1950, 97% voted LibLabCon. Now? Maybe 50%;
also, many traditional voters feel betrayed: Labour betrayed its core vote by turning into the Blair finance-capitalist, mass immigration, “ignore-Pakistani-child-rapists” “New Labour” or fake-Labour party. The Conservatives betrayed their core vote by continuing with mass immigration, by increasing taxes to an extent not seen under Blair —or even Callaghan in the 1970s—, by destroying much of the mental landscape that made England England, by conspiring to dishonour the 2016 Referendum result, and in other ways;
the article says in terms that the present situation is a re-run of UKIP in 2014-2015. It is not. People saw that UKIP was cheated in 2015 (1 in 8 people voted UKIP in 2015 and were cheated by a rigged electoral system) and are angry at that, but even more angry at the corruption, freeloading and dishonesty of the main 2 parties, as well as at their incompetence and arrogance;
the article supposes that the so-called “right-wing” voters will “coalesce” around the misnamed “Conservatives” as a “stop Corbyn” tactic. Don’t count on it. After 3 years of Jewish propaganda contra Corbyn, Labour is riding higher than ever; and many former Con voters actually like many Corbyn-Labour policies;
the article says that Brexit Party is unlikely to win many if any Westminster seats. Let’s see. The SNP was founded in 1934, and did not get many MPs until 2015, before which it often had 0, 1, 2 or a few MPs most of the time (81 years!); then it reached that FPTP tipping point and had 59. Brexit Party may or may not get to the tipping point, but the idea is no longer ludicrous, if it opposes, say, Labour under Corbyn and Conservative Party under whoever (possibly Boris-Idiot);
the very fact that Boris Johnson is spoken of as possibly Prime Minister is proof enough that the System is sick and the Conservative Party terminally so;
the article seems to imagine that if Brexit Party gets only the same vote as UKIP in 2015, then its effect is meaningless. No, because even if Brexit Party gets the 12% UKIP got in 2015, and if the others stack up as Lab 35%, Con 35%, LibDem 10%, that leaves the Conservatives, though largest party, 32 seats off a majority: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html (only a couple of points more for Labour and Labour are largest party, though 18 off a majority);
the article’s conclusion is predicated on traditional tribal Conservative loyalty, but that is breaking down fast and very many older voters are dying. A recent poll said that less than half of 2017 Conservative voters intend (at present…) to vote Con next time. That would cull anything up to 200 Conservative MPs if it were to become reality;
the EU elections will be a guide, the Peterborough by-election even more important.
I noticed that the article ends on an uncertain note.
If actual voting reflected that, the Conservatives would lose about 172 seats and be left with about 145; Labour would be the largest party in the Commons, with 297 MPs (up 35), and Brexit Party would have a bloc of 105 MPs. LibDems might have 18. That would mean Corbyn as Prime Minister of a minority (or coalition) government, 29 seats short of a Commons majority.
Brexit Party is now holding two rallies daily! Not pathetic little meetings like those of Change UK (a Change UK meeting yesterday had 9 people on the podium and 5 —yes, 5— people in the audience!) Here is the Thursday May 16 2019 Brexit Party meeting in Willenhall, West Midlands, a town with a population of about 29,000; the meeting had about 1,000 attending, obviously mostly locals:
and here (same day!), another Brexit Party meeting in the same region, in Wolverhampton, this time with 1,200 attending! So at least 2,200 people had turned out to support Brexit Party in the same region and on the same day! This seems unstoppable, whatever some msm twitterati and chatterati are saying!

Meanwhile, at a Change UK “rally” (8 members of the public and 2 reporters? Or was it 5 members of the public and 5 reporters?…)
Now we’ve seen the enthusiasm of the people for Chuka and Soubry’s great party I assume we’ll be seeing less of them on #marr, #bbcqt and #BBCR4today… but I won’t hold my breath pic.twitter.com/TlZ9uVgCAT
Here we are. Election day. Every indication shows Brexit Party powering ahead, leaving Con, Lab, LibDems, let alone Greens and Chukup, in its wake and floundering. I saw an interesting Twitter thread analysis about it all (see below):
THREAD: On the rise of the Brexit Party and what it means for Brexit and British politics.
That’s it, there are no more Brexit Party rallies planned before polling day. I’ve been to half a dozen of them across the country, from the very first week to the end.
The Peston show on ITV got a psephologist to work out what would happen in the (unlikely but possible) contingency that the next general election saw the same voting as the recent EU elections. The result? Brexit Party 441 seats, Conservatives 1 seat!
Well, much water under the bridge! Brexit Party was polling around 12% when Farage decided to pull 317 Brexit Party candidates only 4 weeks before the election. That was followed by another 38. That, in return for a worthless promise from Boris Johnson, a man of no credibility, no integrity, a useless beneficiary of the UK’s sick political system.
Farage‘s ridiculous decision (taken unilaterally and without consultation with the candidates themselves, who had all paid to be considered as candidates) collapsed Brexit Party overnight. Farage killed his party as surely as if he had shot it in the neck.
Now, at time of writing, Brexit Party is in the polls at around 4% and, with 3 weeks to go, is not a serious contender in the General Election. Brexit Party might have won a number of seats while depriving the Conservatives (mainly) of a number of others, but now will be lucky to win even in those constituencies where it had a chance (e.g. Hartlepool).
Why did Farage destroy his own party? I am not the conspiracy theorist some imagine but I do speculate whether this is some kind of Russian operation.
Russia, we are told, wants the UK out of the EU (and, in Putin’s wildest dreams, NATO). Taking that as correct, it may be that Russian strategists were (are?) hoping for “hard Brexit” or “no deal Brexit” (real Brexit), because it weakens the EU (as part of the New World Order or “NWO”) and because a real Brexit might both cause economic/political discontent in the UK down the line and also stimulate Scottish nationalism, with the possibility that Scotland might break off from the UK, and then possibly (probably) decommission the nuclear missile submarine bases there. A break-up of the UK would be a stunning coup for the Russian state in terms of Atlantic geopolitics.
Still speculating, if an immediate “hard Brexit” seemed likely to be blocked by Parliament’s Remain majority in the event of another hung Parliament, then Russian strategists might have decided to strengthen Conservative Party chances by taking out Brexit Party.
Brexit Party is a dictatorship of one man, Farage. To take Brexit Party out of the General Election, Farage alone had to make that decision. He did. So the question is why did Farage take that decision? To my mind, there is no logical reason based on ordinary politics why Farage should take the word of a proven and continual liar such as Boris Johnson. On the other hand, if Farage is or has become an agent under control, then it makes perfect sense.
How do we know that Farage has not been promised (or even paid already) a large sum (£20M is good, £50M is even better) offshore? It makes sense in baldly venal terms but it also makes sense for Farage politically, if Farage has become convinced that a Boris prime ministership with a large majority would result, in a year or two, in a “hard” or even “no deal” Brexit. That way, Farage gets a secret fortune and the political result he has wanted to see since the early 1990s.
True, Farage is wealthy anyway (is supposed to be), but so what? As to whether the Russians would pay really large sums for such purposes…well, the wife of an “oligarch” paid the Conservative Party £160,000 just to have a tennis game with Boris Johnson and David Cameron-Levita. On that basis, £50M to change the whole course of British policy and strategy seems cheap at the price.
There is no direct evidence that Farage is an agent of the Russian state, but he has been shown to have close links with some leading “oligarchs” etc. The Russia of Putin is not the Soviet Union. It operates partly via the uber-wealthy who are beholden to Putin; the Soviet Union operated in this sense in a different way, bureaucratically, via the KGB and its predecessor agencies (NKVD etc), GRU and, pre-WW2, the Comintern.
As we have seen (google, or see my earlier blogs), Boris Johnson, like Farage, is or has been close to some Russian or Russian-Jew “oligarchs”. Then there is the role of Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s “adviser” (who however has been reported as having actually overruled Johnson on some occasions!). I blogged about Cummings a few months ago: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/10/les-eminences-grises-of-dystopia/
There have been those who have implied that Cummings is a kind of Russian agent. My previous assumption was that he might have been an agent of SIS (British agent rather than salaried officer, perhaps, but who knows?) for a while (when he was in Russia for about 3 years after having graduated from university) but again that was just my speculative thought. Still, one would not necessarily preclude the other, especially over time.
I have no evidence that Farage has been paid a huge bribe by Russia; I have no evidence that Cummings has, either. Still, I do wonder. “Thoughts are duty free”, even in the EU…
There is, of course, also the fact that the British Intelligence assessment of some connected matters is not going to be released until after the General Election. It has been held up by Johnson and Cummings. Why?
