This week, a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 5/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 4, 6, and 10. I really should have got numbers 4 and 10, but there it is.
“Two amphibious warships are set to be ‘mothballed’ in a move critics have said could spell ‘the beginning of the end’ for the Royal Marines, as the Navy tries to tackle a sailor shortage crisis.
HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark could be retired from active service under plans put forward by Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, according to The Times.
The plans would be designed to help deal with the manpower crisis in the Royal Navy, freeing up more than 200 sailors for other ships – most likely the force’s new fleet of Type 26 frigates when they come into service.
But the move has been slammed by critics who say the ships are crucial to the functioning of the elite commando force, with experts saying their retirement would weaken the Marines by diminishing their ability to storm beaches from the sea.”
[Daily Mail]
Ha ha! In what world does Britain presently need the “ability to storm beaches“? Not the world where the only “storming” of beaches is by migrant-invaders invading the UK.
As far as I am concerned, the armed forces have virtually no useful role in a Britain becoming totally alien, and which soon will have nothing its inhabitants will wish to defend anyway.
Come to think of it, I was just watching an episode of Spooks, a TV series I did not see when it was first broadcast. That led me to thoughts around what use is MI5. The damage (possibly mortal) being done to the UK is not by spies infiltrating government offices, and not by anarchists or others wanting to assassinate MPs etc, but by a tsunami of immigration, and by the cultural trashing of our mass media, publishing, schools etc. About all that, MI5 has nothing to say, and even less to do.

We were told we would get a high-skill immigration policy which fuels economic growth.

The little Indian money-juggler must be well-aware that most voters (even former Conservative voters) view the state of the country as terrible and getting worse.
If a general election is held “now” or soon, i.e. sometime in Spring 2024, the Conservative Party MP-cadre may be all but wiped out— possibly with only about 50 MPs left, though maybe 100 or, if Sunak is exceptionally lucky, 150.
If, on the other hand, the 2024 General Election is delayed until the winter of 2024, the state of the UK will almost inevitably be yet worse, and therefore the popularity of the (supposedly) governing Con Party will be even lower.
The usual stresses on NHS, transport etc will be even more severe, and the international situation may place greater stresses on the economy. Added to those factors, the migration-invasion will have continued for another year (nearly). On those premises, the Con Party may face not only the possibility but the probability that it will be reduced to something like 50 MPs.
It seems to me, therefore, that the GE will take place in late Summer or early Autumn, before the cold weather again arrives. So about 6-9 months from now. That gives time for Labour to make mistakes.
Even so, it seems unlikely (even in the “glorious uncertainty” of the UK electoral system) that the Conservative Party can hope for an MP-cadre much if at all higher than 100; certainly no more than 150. 150 would be bad for the Con Party (similar, though worse, to 1997 and 2001), whereas 100 or fewer would be seen as disastrous.
For me, perhaps for others in the social-national milieu, the main thing is to break the whole binary electoral system, which presents, every 4-5 years, a false choice to the electorate.
If the Conservative Party is trashed in the 2024 General Election, Labour will be able to form an elected dictatorship even worse than under Blair and Brown. That will lead to popular discontent (when it fails to address the several major challenges facing the UK), with the people even more eager to embrace a new way forward under a new political party or movement, and with the small rump Conservative Party having no credibility as an alternative government.

Ha ha! Not that I myself would do the same (regular readers of the blog will know that I recently joined the convict classes, having made the mistake of thinking that England still had left at least some free speech or freedom of expression).
The American incident reported upon above reminds me of another incident, which happened when I was a Bar pupil (trainee barrister). That must have been in 1992.
The case involved two West Indians alleged to have robbed a petrol station in NW London, using a machete. They had been arrested the same evening, not very long afterwards, in the (alleged) getaway car.
There were oddities in the evidence. The car had been searched following the stop. No money or weapons had been found. Later, at the police station, a further search revealed a wad of cash. A week later, a further search “discovered” a container full of coins (allegedly from the filling station) and a machete. The allegation from the defendants was that everything had been planted.
In fact, though I did not know said little twerp barrister, I recognized him, having been on the Bar Finals course with him (and hundreds of others) in 1987-88. I however had gone to the USA a while after that, so had not been Called to the (English) Bar until 1991; I also qualified at and was Admitted to the Bar of the State of New York.
All this took place at Wood Green Crown Court. As a Bar pupil, in 1992, I was there fairly frequently.
[Wood Green Crown Court, North London]
Both defendants were in custody, having been refused bail prior to trial.
The evidence against the defendants was non-existent, save for that “found” in the car. There was no cctv evidence, no fingerprint evidence, no DNA evidence (this was in 1992, and such evidence was still in its infancy). The (apparently) diminutive Indian cashier in the petrol station had been terrified, and gave no testimony. Neither did the defendants.
Despite the paucity of evidence, the jury came back with “Guilty” verdicts. There was a moment of silence. A member of the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad then gave the judge a rundown of the previous most relevant convictions of the defendants. The judge knew most of that already, as did Counsel, but of course the jury did not. There were gasps as the long list of increasingly-serious convictions was read out, topped finally by the information that the defendants still faced another upcoming trial in which they would stand accused (at the Old Bailey) of conspiring to rob building society branches, armed with sawn-off shotguns.
The judge listened patiently while, for 20 minutes, little twerp barrister attempted to mitigate. My pupilmaster declined to attempt any mitigation. The judge then sentenced the two to exactly the same term— 5 years each.
Another moment of silence preceded an explosion from the dock (behind us) as the defendants shouted out (to the jury) “YOU DOGS! YOU FUCKING WHITE DOGS!“.
The jury members (in fact not all white, there being one black woman and at least one Indian) quailed; I thought that one woman jury member might faint or cry out, though she bravely sat it out. The little twerp Counsel looked nervously over his shoulder, as did my pupilmaster. I had also looked round as the outburst had happened, but now pretended to be writing (in order to seem stoic, I think, pointless and perhaps ludicrous as that was).
The defendants then tried to fight their way out of and over the dock. The judge pressed his concealed button but stayed seated. His face was that “Judicial Livid” (red/purple) that I later saw once or twice at the High Court when a judge did not wholly appreciate my argument…
After a lot of banging, thudding, and swearing, the defendants were subdued by the two prison guards accompanying them. Other court security people then entered the courtroom. The defendants were taken down (to the cells below).
Just a day in the life, as they say.

You still see tweets etc demanding that “the authorities” or “the Government” should “do something”. Such tweets (etc) miss the point. The “authorities”, “Government”, “Opposition”, mainstream media drones and scribblers, and the craven legal and judicial system, are those, or some of those, responsible, pushing mass immigration, pushing the lie that it is a good thing, and pushing the multikulti society which is in the process of destroying what is left of our own society.

Lost wars are never popular and, while the Israeli war machine is slowly grinding the life out of Gaza, there is no easy victory for the (Israeli) Jews in that theatre, and casualties are mounting (though a small fraction of those suffered by both Gazan combatants and non-combatants).
Meanwhile, it seems to me that the strategic position of Israel has never been so precarious, even in the 1950s. Hezbollah threatens the northern border, Iran is developing longer-range missiles, and the Israeli economy is battered by the Gaza conflict, the evacuation of the northern border areas, by the situation in the Red Sea, and by a worldwide consumer boycott. Also, Israeli society itself seems fragmented, disunited.
To my mind, and for the first time in my lifetime [b. 1956] one can see a possibility, even a probability, that the State of Israel may not survive for very long into the future. Ironically, the nuclear and other advanced weapons of Israel may prove to be irrelevant, in that what seems most likely is a mass “invasion” or insurrection by lightly-armed militants (as in the recent Hamas incursions into southern Israel). Israel cannot use its most powerful weapons on its own territory.
A word about junior doctors striking
I have little time for the selfish yet virtue-signalling junior doctors. Many of them are useless anyway, and now we see that, when push comes to shove, they are willing to abandon their patients in order to demand better pay.
Yes, there remains a “skeleton service”, but that is a conscience-salve equivalent to the blank round given secretly to a randomly-selected member of a firing squad.
What about that pay? In the first year of work, they get a basic salary around £33,000, but that can greatly increase for overtime work of various kinds. Many are making over £45,000.
Admittedly, £33,000 is no fortune, but that is, after all, for persons recently-qualified. There are huge numbers of people in the UK making less, even after 20 or 30 years of work, and that is even disregarding the unemployed, sick, disabled, pensioners etc.
A second year doctor in a hospital gets £37,000+ (up to about £50,000).
Salaried GPs get between £70,000 and £105,000. Partner-GPs get far more.
Hospital doctors get increments annually; a complicated series of payments for various training programmes and placements raises the salary of many far beyond the minima.
NHS consultants start (in their first year of consultancy) on basic pay of just under £100,000, and make far more with seniority etc.
I say nothing about whether doctors (at any level) “should” get more pay, simply that it is disgusting that the junior ones seem willing to abandon sick and helpless people, often very vulnerable people, often people in pain (and in need of strong painkillers which can only be prescribed by doctors, meaning the “men —and women— in white coats”).
If junior doctors and, beyond that, what is so often —and cringingly— called “our NHS” callously abandon the British people, it may be that the British people will eventually abandon the doctors and demand a health service that works for its patients and not mainly for the benefit of those that work in it.

The Conservative Party— a completely useless and clueless party, whose MPs are almost all just incredibly self-serving, and almost all incredibly stupid. On top of that, 80% of them belong to Conservative Friends of Israel.
Not that the Labour Party is hugely better. The only thing to do, for voters at the 2024 General Election, is to try to destabilize the fake binary system by making sure that at least one major party (i.e. the Con Party) crashes and burns, even at the expense of having to endure, for a while, a kind of elected dictatorship under Labour idiots.
I think that most voters, even former Con Party voters, have now written off the Conservative Party, and will not vote for it. Many, though, will never vote Labour either. It is an open question how many will simply abstain. Somehow I think, at the GE, not so many. They may seek out protest votes. Reform UK is plainly controlled opposition and pro-Israel etc, but will probably get a much higher vote than many are predicting; certainly 10%, possibly 15%, and I would not completely rule out 20%, depending on events.
Only a social-national movement can save our society, but at present it does not exist in any serious or hard-hitting way.

Mere numbers are only the starting-point. The vital point is, if there is a massive nuclear exchange between, mainly, the USA and Russia, what happens? One of today’s warheads probably does almost as much damage as two, or ten, or more, if all hit more or less the same place.
Obviously, were there to be such an exchange, the USA, as a functioning state, would more or less cease to exist. The same is true of Russia. As for the UK, it might be wiped out not only as a state, but as a nation (taking it still to be a nation), because of the small geographic size of the UK as compared to the two major nuclear powers.

“A serious government would have looked at Brexit and recognised the necessity for economic and social reform. The first lesson should have been that mass immigration cannot be a substitute for skills training, and that open borders is not a sustainable answer to labour shortages.
Subsequently, it should have examined the reasons business relies on immigrant labour and modified policy accordingly – up to and including far reaching welfare reform. It should have also taken steps to reform the ponzi scheme that is higher education, ideally dismantling second rate universities in favour of vocational training with a view to improving labour market fluidity.
It should have initiated an immediate energy policy review, dismantling the EU regulatory systems that push up the price of energy.
It should have prioritised nuclear over renewable energy. It should have looked at streamlining energy planning and procurement regulation.
It should have initiated a complete review of food and agriculture policy with a view to improving food security and reducing food miles, cultivating local supply chains, and revising trade policy accordingly.
It should have initiated a complete review of foreign aid, trade and foreign policy in line with clearly defined national priorities.
But our politicians didn’t want any of that. They liked having their thinking done for them. They didn’t see any reason for change and everything they’ve done since has been to prevent meaningful change. Sclerotic mediocrity is how they like it and it’s the best we can hope for.
That is why the Tory party is dying. They were handed a massive majority and a mandate for change and they did precisely nothing with it. They wasted our votes and our time. They squandered every opportunity and walked away from every fight. Instead of taking the cue for radical change, they doubled down on all the worst aspects of centrist consensus politics on everything from immigration to energy, in lockstep with the EU as though we never voted to leave.
Immigration is now out of control, rents have skyrocketed, energy prices are insane, university degrees are next to worthless, and now they’re inflicting heat pumps and EVs on us when nobody can afford either, nobody even wants them, and we don’t have the electricity to power them.
Now we find ourselves with nobody worth voting for, and a decrepit opposition party set to inherit power by accident of numbers, and virtually nobody thinks it will be an improvement.
There is no means by which we can arrest the decline – while the media gaslights us by telling us this is the most right wing government in history.
Not only does the Tory party deserve to die, it is a necessary precursor to any kind of British renaissance. The conservative party only wishes to conserve a stagnant status quo even if it drags us into the dark ages.
We are condemned to drab, anti-patriotic technocratic managerialism and a zombie establishment that has long since abdicated from its obligation to govern. They are rotten, debased, corrupt and ineffectual in everything they do.
Every iteration of it is like a bad Hollywood sequel – a jaded repeat bereft of ideas and energy, oblivious to its own creative death spiral.
The cancer has now spread to all of the state’s vital organs, and the patient is now on life support. Nothing short of a medical miracle can revive it from its persistant vegetative state. The only merciful thing to do is to let it die.”
I agree with pretty much all of that analysis.
The Tories need wiping out, they deserve to be obliterated for their betrayal of their voters. The future looks very bleak
Quite. I hate and despise the misnamed Conservative Party, but also despise and hate the equally-misnamed Labour Party. Other misnamed parties? The “Scottish National Party” (currently run by a Pakistani) and the “Liberal Democrats”.
Look what the small hats are doing to a country like the U.S. that has been nothing but supportive to them (mass migration, transgenderism, race division, seed oils, etc), what do you think they will do to the rest ?
…and if you say anything about all that, at least in the UK, some malicious Jew-Zionist volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy and Government (eg the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) will suborn or corrupt the police and the prosecution service in order to bring down upon you the weight of the criminal law (while, in the real world, real crime explodes).
Our political class simply does not have the will, ability or courage to govern the country effectively. It is has failed and will continue to do so. More time is spent on anachronistic formalities and internal party processes than is ever devoted to enlightened governance.
Labour are setting up an immigration trap. The idea of processing illegals overseas is a scam that will allow millions to come to the UK by applying from centres in their own country, we will be swamped. Labour are plotting for even more immigration https://t.co/KTy4i2JabL
Obviously. Even at present, 75%+ of the invaders are given leave to remain. That’s 75% or 80% of the actual small boat invaders; the “legal” ones are all allowed to stay for the period of their visa, but many who stay beyond that are also, one way or another, allowed to stay in the end.
Overall, something like 95% of the various types of migrant invader are —eventually— allowed to stay indefinitely. As a nation and possibly, later, as a state, the UK faces ruin.
In Africa and Asia live hundreds of millions who would like to come here. Yes, in time that will reduce the UK to a “third world” level, but they cannot see that. All they see is a country still hugely better than their own. They want what we have, or they think we have. Even if our living standards continue to slide, for the black/brown invaders that is irrelevant. They are used to much worse conditions.
Therefore, the migration invasion will continue until our society collapses into chaos and/or civil war. When? Maybe as early as 2030, maybe a little later. By 2050, for sure, as things are going. Thank God I shall probably not be here to see it face to face.

“Former Israeli Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said that Israel has lost the war against Hamas and Netanyahu must be overthrown. According to him, the real losses of the army are hidden, and for almost two months of ground operations there are virtually no strategic or even tactical victories in the Gaza Strip.“
It would be a mistake to assume that all Jews, even all Israelis, are behind the continuing devastation in Gaza. My own guess is that most would have been satisfied by a week or so of targeted, albeit bloody, attacks in retaliation for the stunning surprise attack by Hamas forces in southern Israel in October.
There was a film, several years ago, interviewing former chiefs of Israeli intelligence and security; they were far less gung-ho than Netanyahu and his clique, or the malicious and unpleasant Jew-Zionists one sees or hears of in places such as London, Leeds, New York etc.
By the by, I keep wondering whether the Israeli Government, like F.D. Roosevelt before Pearl Harbor, knew of the October attack by Hamas before it happened, but let it go ahead in order to have to popular support —initially— for what is now happening in —in the Israeli case— Gaza, which amounts to an attempt to occupy Gaza and drive out its 2M inhabitants.
That may read like “conspiracy theory”, but so many of such theories turn out to be just true in the end. Why did it take Israeli forces several hours, in some cases 12 hours, to deploy to the site of the October attack? Israel is small. Tel Aviv is only 44 miles from the border of Gaza, and maybe 60 miles from the site of the Hamas attack in October.
When I was a practising barrister based in Exeter, in SW England (2002-2008), I lived in a country house about 4 miles north of Launceston (Cornwall) and almost exactly 45 miles west from my Exeter chambers. Same distance as Tel Aviv to Gaza. One day, I made the journey, door to door, in only 35 mins. I am sure that the supposedly elite Israeli forces can deploy in at least similar time (by road or helicopter), if they are so ordered. So why did they apparently take many hours in October?

A day or two ago, I caught a few minutes of a political quiz on Sky News. Radio politico Nick Ferrari, some black woman (I think Dawn Butler), useless half-Jew former MP and now (absurdly) member of the House of Lords, Ed Vaizey, and “British” Indian pseudo-Communist, Ash Sarkar. All wearing silly Christmas hats for the occasion.
What struck me (again) is that the System TV would never have a social-national person on such a show, but there is political bad joke, Ash Sarkar, sitting there happily alongside Ed Vaizey, despite having commended not only socialism but Communism on air many times. She was obviously loving being part of the System mass media in-club…
Only social-national people and policies can now save Europe. The System easily suborns and buys the Ash Sarkar type. Paid TV appearances, even alongside the so-called “class enemy”, articles in newspapers, social media profile (and income). Pseudo-radical careerists and profiteers.
Owen Jones similarly. These are play-“revolutionaries”, play-radicals, and almost ludicrously-easily manipulated by the System.

I have to admit that I have always found the idea of secret tunnels quite compelling. The KGB had a specific directorate specializing in tunnelling, though one finds little printed about it.
In the case of the Gaza tunnels, we are told that they extend for more miles overall than the London Underground, which has 250 miles of track, much of which, however, is overground. About 110 miles of the London Underground is actually below ground-level.
On that basis, only a small part, maybe 5-10 miles, or <10%, of the Gaza tunnels have been explored or destroyed by the invading Israeli forces so far. Information is obviously being restricted at present.
It makes me wonder whether similar tunnels do not also penetrate Israeli state territory from Lebanon or elsewhere, tunnels perhaps so far underground that they are undetectable.

This is an Egyptian teenager who delivers bread to Gazans through a small hole in the border wall between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, working harder than any Arab ruler.
When I was several months in Egypt in 1998, I used to really enjoy the flat bread fresh from local bakeries, usually bought from a hole in the wall about a foot or so wide. Still very warm, and with a unique taste not experienced anywhere else in the world. The (Egyptian) Arabic word for it is aysh, implying its importance to life.

“Labour MP Dawn Butler has vowed to report online message board Mumsnet to the Metropolitan Police after users on the site and other social media slammed her reaction to the Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict.“
[Daily Mail]
This is where we are now in the UK. Anything online that some idiot like Dawn Butler dislikes is now “reported”, either to the police or other bodies. If a prosecution under Communications Act 2003, s.127, occurs —and despite the Law Commission having recommended repeal of that as “bad law”— anything highly critical or satirical is now deemed “offensive”, and in practice as “grossly offensive” (and so unlawful).
It is a Kafka-esque farce which I saw at first-hand as defendant in such a case only last month.
The law in this area gives carte blanche to, especially, the usual malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionist whiners, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, with the police and CPS as dupes.
Still, we must always remember that “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].
Dawn Butler’s actions give indication of what the likely “elected dictatorship” under Starmer may look like. Repressive.
Still, the only way at present to destabilize the mainly binary Lab/Con system is to knock out one or other main party. That will be the misnamed Conservative Party, which may be largely wiped out next year at the 2024 General Election, but the price for getting rid of the Conservative MPs will be a near-dictatorship under Starmer-Labour.
The developing “social dictatorship” trialled (in various respects) during the contrived panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022.
If the authorities really wanted to address persistent (real) crime, they might start by banning anyone not on bona fide holiday, or bona fide recreational travel, from using a caravan or motorhome on the roads etc. You know what I mean…
“Britain’s rapidly shrinking military has prompted defence chiefs to shift hundreds of troops from the front line and into recruitment offices.
More than 400 soldiers from across the British Army have been ordered by top brass to join the effort to try and get more people to enlist.
It comes as figures from the Labour party revealed the Army has shrunk by more than 3,000 troops in the past 12 months, with 9,438 personnel leaving while only 6,308 joined.
Britain’s part-time reservist force is also shrinking despite recent efforts to grow it. Between October last year and September 2023, 5,580 reservists left and only 3,780 joined.
The latest recruitment statistics from the Ministry of Defence reveal the total Army strength plummeted from 79,139 to 75,983 during the same period, as recruiters failed to hire fresh new personnel to plug the gaps, leaving key roles unfilled.“
[Daily Mail]
So the first move in getting more troops on the front-line is to…take 400 soldiers out of the spearhead forces and sit them in offices?
“Lions led by donkeys“, as someone once said.
Why do we actually bother with an Army and Navy now? They seem incapable of stopping the only invasion happening, or likely to happen these days— the migration-invasion.
Empty bluster from political nonentities just makes Britain look even weaker than it is, and that is pretty weak.

The Internet makes mock of many things, and the various “little Britain” things especially. The overall situation, however, is not new.
In the 1930s, the public of the USA, France, Germany etc were aware, if interested at all, that Edward VIII was involved with a Mrs. Simpson. In Britain and its colonies, though, that was kept secret (from the British public) until 1937 (to be exact, from December 1936).
In the 1980s, similar situations arose. In the early 1980s, I was told that, at a State banquet held at the Banqueting House in Whitehall for an important Soviet delegation, and attended by someone I knew, the leader of the Soviet group said to a British minister how sad it was that former Prime Minister, Harold Wilson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson], had become completely demented (Alzheimer’s, or similar). Apparently, the British minister nodded sagely before changing the subject.
So the Soviet Government knew, the British Government knew, but of course the British public did not know.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, those interested in the rather underwhelming book could buy it and read it without let or hindrance. Absurdly, the same was true in Scotland, because Scotland has its own legal system and the British Government had not thought to apply for any restrictions in that jurisdiction.
I myself had a copy of the book soon after publication. Not a total bore but not exactly riveting either. Had the Government simply let Wright, the author, sell the book without all the publicity occasioned by the attempt to ban it, it would never have become a bestseller. As it was, millions of copies were sold, and Wright died, possessed of huge royalties, in 1995.
In fact, had the Government paid Wright his full pension at an earlier stage, he never would have written the book, or at least published it.
Now we have the Internet. Anyone with, say, a Twitter/X account can publish or republish under their own name, or a pseudonym. The English courts are unable to prevent —and/or in most cases even punish— any breach of injunction, certainly not before millions of people around the world have seen the material.

Somewhat akin to my curses as I traversed the crumbling roads of coastal southern England today. Potholed roads (mostly “A” roads, at that, not “B” or unclassified), and mostly not being repaired.
The UK Government has money with which to close down the economy for months and years because of panic over a virus that killed hardly anybody, it has money to spend on housing and feeding hundreds of thousands of migrant-invaders, it has money to throw away as “aid” to the corrupt, brutal shambles posing the the “state” (failed state) of “Ukraine”, but little for the British people.
At the same time, in the UK itself, almost nothing works properly: the migration-invasion continues, people generally are getting ripped-off right, left, and centre, living costs continue to increase relative to both pay and benefits, the NHS is at best now a skeleton service, and the schools and supposed “universities” are churning out “highly-qualified” (thanks to award inflation) “graduates” who know, most of them, ****-all.
That does not cover the entirety of the shambles; just a selection.

Reading a couple of tweets today reminds me of a personal experience of the criminal courts at Christmas-time.
I think that it was December 1993 when I went to Snaresbrook Crown Court (on the London/Essex border) to defend a West Indian accused of selling counterfeit cassette tapes at a street market.
I had formulated what I thought was a reasonable defence on the facts; in effect, mainly an alibi defence.
The defendant was rather a pain, who obviously thought himself a very clever fellow; I had also represented him at the committal proceedings at Highbury Corner Mags.
I was looking forward not only to a possibly successful defence but also to a lunch or more with a lady I knew slightly, who lived quite close to the Court, and who knew that I would be there that day. Not a firm date, but a pleasant possibility anyway.
Just before the start of the trial, Prosecution Counsel came to me with the news that the prosecution was not going to proceed. The cost of proving, via forensic science, that the tapes were counterfeit was too much, apparently.
Pleasant news both for the defendant and for me. Instead of a day in court, finished at 1030. The only negative factor— two days of refreshers (daily fees) which I would not get.
I was in the robing room and about to get ready to leave, when the public address system called my name. I hurried to the large circular reception desk in the entrance lobby of the building. Naturally, I thought that it must be that lunching lady whose businessman husband was, presumably, on the golf course where (she claimed) he spent most of his time.
Imagine my surprise and, to be frank, disappointment, when the person awaiting me was a short, fat barrister, who asked me whether I would be willing to undertake a defence at short notice (almost immediately). I agreed. A modest standard fee, but don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…
It emerged that, by reason of bureaucratic mistakes, a defendant (another West Indian) had actually got as far as Crown Court trial, on a charge of theft or attempted theft (of a handbag), without ever having had the benefit of solicitor or Counsel. Something, as far as I know, unheard of these days except where a defendant represents himself by choice.
The facts alleged were that the defendant had been being shadowed by a special police squad in the busy Upper Street, Islington, and that the surveillance squad had seen him enter the Cuba Libre restaurant.
The defendant had then emerged with a large laminated menu, and sat at an outside table, next to and very close to a table occupied by a group of young women. The police squad had observed the defendant’s foot moving the handbag in question, which was resting on the ground. Finally, the defendant had allegedly made to grab the handbag, only to be jumped upon and arrested before he could even get to his feet.
I actually knew the restaurant, had visited it a few times, and had even once sat outside, the very locus of the alleged offence.
I had a brief conference with the defendant. I asked him why he was even at a restaurant in view of the police evidence that he had not a penny in his pocket on arrest. His answer? That he had been awaiting his girlfriend, who always paid! I made a joke to the effect that I should have a girlfriend like that.
I told the defendant that the evidence did not really show that what he had done amounted to theft, or even to an attempt.
A poor witness in his own defence, but there was no need for him to give evidence at all, really. Let the Prosecution prove the attempt, if they could.
In Court, the judge was perplexed as to how the trial could ever have come on without Counsel having been instructed beforehand. Prosecution Counsel was equally perplexed. Still, both Counsel present were ready to roll, until —just as I got to my feet to reply to a remark from the judge— the defendant shouted out “WILL YOU PLEASE DEFEND ME?!“, followed by “I DON’T WANT HIM! I WANT SOMEONE ELSE” (unnamed).
The judge told the defendant to keep quiet, but added that, in the circumstances, he had no alternative but to adjourn the trial until late January, and grant the defendant bail. As the Prosecution Counsel said to me, that was exactly why the defendant had shouted out— he knew that he would be bailed over Christmas and New Year, and thought that an immediate trial would mean a custodial sentence that day, very likely.
I think that that defendant was wrong. I think that I could have had him acquitted that day, but there we are… I have occasionally wondered what happened at the eventual trial.
Incidentally, Cuba Libre closed some years ago, but has been resurrected in Dalston, East London, under another name. The interior seems to be similar to that of the restaurant I remember, though.

“Good afternoon, and an early Merry Griftmas to you all. I’m publishing this early to get ahead of a systemic attempt to shut this controversy down.
I can now reveal some of the extent of the grift as money sloshed through Jack Monroe’s PayPal account when she fraudulently claimed to be suing@MartinDaubney and @LeeAndersonMP_, as well as a bit earlier in 2022 when she repeatedly claimed her website was broken and she desperately needed the advertising income to continue her job as a “recipe writer”, making no mention of the £10k she had just received from Patreon subscribers.
My research covers the time period of the fake libel case, as well as various other begs such as the broken website, etc. and all the times she claimed to be living in poverty (e.g. July 2022), etc. however it was not possible to negotiate access to data earlier than that so we’ll never publicly know how much she scammed from 2012-2021, sorry.
It also does not cover beyond May 2023 as the primary focus of my investigation has been on the fake libel fundraiser which didn’t go beyond that time, as the most egregious fraud perpetuated on the public. January/February 2022: the “broken website” beg netted her more than £7,000 – seemingly a mixture of existing followers and new followers acquired from Nigella’s promotion of Jack’s Patreon and subsequent uplift in Patreon takings.
The fake libel trial: Over £25,000 in the first few days of the initial tweet about the alleged libel. Then, depending on how you calculate it (because no, these funds were NOT ringfenced at all), over £150,000 minimum across the year of claiming that she was definitely, 100% going ahead with it, boosted at various times when she put the beg out again and again and referenced it in media interviews, etc.
Hunger Hurts 2 – July 2022: A “smaller beg” of over £3,000 for contrived nonsense about boiling down soap to make shower gel. These figures and some of the data have been passed to HMRC and Action Fraud, urging them to do a deeper investigation.
Given the sensitive nature of the information, as well as the threats (of violence, of doxxing, of generally unpleasant things promised), police interest (I have not been arrested or charged), and backlash I received for leaking the Patreon data I was given, I am not going to publish the raw information at all; partly because I’m not a complete cunt, partly because there’s so many transactions that redacting them would take ages, and partly because doing so would likely undermine any future criminal investigation which has been my goal all along.
The level of deceit displayed by her is jaw-dropping. Inventing the fictional persona of “Jack Monroe”, the people’s poverty princess, and then revising history and testing out different versions of events to concoct the most emotionally charged and financially lucrative story to steal money from well-meaning, naive people: most of whom appear to have been less well-off than her, backing up the assertion that she claimed was defamatory about her making money off of poor people.
The people who platformed her have a lot to answer for, too. She didn’t become famous on her own. She has been platformed, celebrated, and supported by celebrities and the media for over a decade: all of it based on a mistelling of the truth that has grown out of all proportion to become monstrous, menacing, and misleading.
She has taken you all for a ride and laughed at your expense every step of the way. The watch, the earrings, the Cotswold sideboards, etc. all came from money you’ve given her. And it hasn’t helped the less fortunate: her “campaigning” has been insipid and weak, vague and general rather than specific, and a waste of time when a more qualified, knowledgeable person with the work ethic Jack lacks could have been platformed instead.
I can only hope this conclusively puts an end to her scamming and she faces justice for all the bad things she’s done. It is my fervent wish that she becomes a winning answer on the show Pointless (as nobody will know who she is) and that she is treated with contempt and mockery everywhere she goes, second only to the wish that she faces proper investigation and criminal sanctions for the fraud she’s committed.
And, at this point, given all I have seen, I am firmly of the opinion that it is fraud. Not a mistake, not an “oopsie, my bad” but clear, calculated fraud designed to take money from well-meaning people and spend it on herself. My work here is done.
This account will now be archived so the evidence remains public. Thanks for all your support. I couldn’t have done it without you all. I am off to enjoy my Christmas vacation now and I hope you are too (if you celebrate it). Please enjoy the video at the bottom and turn the sound up to hear the song.

The real “net” figure is even higher at present, closer to 600,000.

Historical note
I was just reading something about the 18thC German mystic and writer, Novalis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novalis], better known in Central Europe than in the UK.
I saw this on Wikipedia:
“While at Jena, he published his first poem and befriended the playwright and fellow poet Friedrich Schiller. In Leipzig, he then met Friedrich Schlegel, becoming lifetime friends. Novalis completed his law degree in 1794 at the age of 22. He then worked as a legal assistant in Tennstedt immediately after graduating. There, he met Sophie von Kühn. The following year Novalis and Sophie became secretly engaged. Sophie became severely ill soon after the engagement and died just after her 15th birthday. Sophie’s early death had a life-long impact on Novalis and his writing.”
Also, re that girl:
Although Novalis’s love for Sophie has assumed mythic proportions, their time together was short and uneventful. The two met on 17 November 1794 when Novalis was twenty-two and Sophie was only twelve. They became engaged on Sophie’s thirteenth birthday 17 March 1795. Sophie became sick in November 1795, and her sickness continued until her death at the age of 15 in March 1797.”
I suppose that the average person today in the UK would be appalled at her young age when engaged, but the Wikipedia piece makes it fairly obvious that the relationship was kept on an idealized or romantic-spiritual level.
