“THE LOSS of the last elite reserve units, which the military leadership of Ukraine has inserted into the fighting on the Zaporizhzhya front, will lead to its collapse, said former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter.

“Now we are witnessing – emphasized Ritter – the last phase of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which has not achieved any goal. It alone led to the death of more than 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers. There are only 15 thousand of them left.

‘I’m talking about elite reserve units armed with British Challenger tanks, Marder and Stryker combat vehicles.”

Ritter pointed out that Kiev’s fresh forces “also got stuck in minefields in front of Russian defense lines.” According to him, as soon as the last elite units of Kiev are destroyed, the Ukrainian front will begin to collapse, like an old dam unable to hold back a powerful river flow.”

[Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector and military intelligence officer]

You can already see the NWO/ZOG-ruled powers reconsidering— various EU states are modifying the military and other aid going to the Kiev regime, and the US Government has been increasingly making public, in a guarded way, its concern that the Ukraine war might become a general European conflict and even an intercontinental nuclear one.

Can you imagine? Lammy might become a Cabinet minister if/when Labour forms a government…

Lammy, a thick “diversity hire”, who (like Diane Abbott) basically hates white (eg British) people, history, and culture (but has a wife who is not black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green).

The bigger scandal is that any bank executive gets that kind of pay. The same applies to lawyers, business executives, entertainers, TV talking heads etc.

“Labour plans for tougher hate crime laws if they enter power could lead to criminal charges for misgendering trans people, a think tank warns today.

‘Maintaining free speech… is essential if we are to defend a liberal society based on rationality rather than coercion.’

[the] study was backed by Labour backbencher Graham Stringer, who likened gender ideology to the claim made by Humpty Dumpty in Alice In Wonderland that words mean whatever he chooses them to mean. 

He said: ‘There are many in the transgender debate who follow in the Humpty Dumpty tradition. 

‘Men become women and women become men via a simple declaration. If words can have any meaning debate becomes meaningless. 

‘You end up with authoritarianism, which is what transgender ideologues desire, with them in authority.’“

If true, not entirely unexpected. Aircraft (and tall buildings) can be hazardous for those eyeing Putin’s purple, or that of any ruler of “all the Russias”. General Lebed would have made an excellent ruler of Russia, had his helicopter not crashed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebed. Others have gone the same way under Putin, Yeltsin and, of course, Stalin, among others carrying the status of Vozhd.

That will be amusing to see, if a video is released (I doubt any will be, though). It seems that the audience was only 100-strong. “Jack Monroe”, as a brand, is a busted flush.

Not a situation about which I know much. Seems to be something to do with the “trans” nonsense, which is hard to avoid in the UK these days.

Just saw this, which covers the same situation:

Apparently, that individual was not only convicted in the Crown Court of sex assault on a minor but, on another occasion, attacked a man with a 9-iron (golf club), and was convicted at Crown Court in relation to that.

Lucky in his judges, though— has never been imprisoned, as far as I have read at least.

Apart from anything else, it should be illegal to claim to be a “lawyer” of any kind (or no specific kind) if unqualified. I myself really was a lawyer (barrister of the Bar of England and Wales) until improperly and indeed unlawfully disbarred in 2016, and I still am (as far as I know) “Attorney and Counsellor at Law” at the Bar of the State of New York, not that I care either way. I have not been disbarred in New York, anyway, nor “threatened” with the same.

Despite the foregoing, I have no interest in describing myself (as I still could) as “lawyer“. I do think that the public should be protected from fake lawyers or persons claiming to be lawyers.

[Update, same day: I have now seen the tweets below…

“CILEX” is the organization set up some decades ago to provide a professional structure for legal executives such as solicitors’ clerks, paralegals etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_Institute_of_Legal_Executives. Those with the qualification are, however, not “lawyers” as such. In the case in question, though, it seems that the person under examination never had any such qualification anyway, if that second tweet is accurate.]

Suddenly, all over the Northern hemisphere, in developed countries (USA, Canada, EU states), huge wildfires start and, at the same time, a huge propaganda campaign involving the UN and WEF goes into overdrive, blaming “climate change”/”global warming”, and demanding “net zero” to (somehow…) prevent it.

What is the real agenda here?

Does the Dutch Government have any idea what it would be like if even one nuclear missile struck its territory? Apart from almost everything in the Netherlands being blown up or set on fire, and those people not killed being heavily irradiated, the system of dykes and polders would be largely smashed, flooding with seawater 80% of whatever might be left standing.

Don’t escalate the Ukraine war. Stop funding the Jew Zelensky’s corrupt, brutal, and shambolic dictatorship.

The difference is that many young southern Europeans have always (since the 19thC) looked to emigrate for a probably/possibly better life or lifestyle. In the UK, though, such sentiment has only really taken off in recent decades, and especially the past 20 years.

I myself became eligible for the UK State Pension about a year ago, but (without going into the detail of all my petty and not-very-interesting financial affairs) receive only half of the maximum amount (mainly by reason of having spent much time overseas).

The present government is toast unless it retains the Triple Lock (as blogged previously). Persons aged over 65 are now the only demographic still heavily voting for Conservative Party candidates.

The only hope for the Kiev regime is some kind of revolution or palace revolution in Moscow. Failing that, Russia cannot lose in the medium to long term.

Well, this week an easy victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10, whereas I managed 7/10, and might have scored 9/10 had I been able to bring to mind the answers to questions 1 and 7 (which I basically knew). The only question on which I had no idea at all was no. 3.

Humanity owes a massive karmic debt to the animal kingdom.

Slava! All the same, that central westward thrust from Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk) to Vinnitsa looks to me unnecessary and possibly counterproductive.

Russia needs to secure all territory east of the Dnieper, and also the coastal littoral of the Black Sea (including Odessa) but, above all, Kiev itself. Confine the Zelensky regime to a rump inland “state” based on Lvov.

The map shows, supposedly, something akin to the original scheme, but it probably is still the overall strategy.

Historical note

The Bürgerbräukeller, Munich, in or about 1923, shown above presumably before rather than after the “Beer Hall Putsch” (8-9 November 1923 :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch).

The photo shows a meeting of the NSDAP. All those shown in the photo were members or supporters of the NSDAP.

What interests me is that, at that time, the NSDAP was a relatively minor party even in its hub, Bavaria (in early 1923, the national membership was about 6,000, and by the Autumn of 1923 about 20,000).

In May 1924, i.e. after the failure of the “Beer Hall Putsch” (aka “Munich Putsch” or “Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch), the NSDAP (banned, so using the name “National Socialist Freedom Movement”) scored only 6.5% in the federal (national) elections, and only 3% in December 1924.

In 1923-1924, the NSDAP had the sort of minor public support that, in the UK of the 21st Century, UKIP was enjoying about a decade ago, and that the BNP had about 15 years ago.

All the same, look at that photograph of the NSDAP meeting in 1923. Many hundreds of people, at the least. All looking decently-dressed.

One cannot but help compare that to the tiny so-called “far-right” (national and social-national) parties of today’s Britain.

The main difference politically between Germany in 1923 and Britain in 2023 is, that in 1923 Germany, there were large numbers of Germans of all social and income groups who supported the idea of national renewal. The NSDAP may only have had a few thousand or tens of thousands of members, but other volkisch parties and groups, such as, and primarily, the Stahlhelm, had the same or more, in some cases hundreds of thousands: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Stahlhelm,_Bund_der_Frontsoldaten.

Look now at Britain in 2023. The degenerate strata of higher-income and high-social-status groups do not, generally, support national renewal, but are (metaphorically) signed up to the trends which are destroying our society (and now destroying it quite rapidly).

What that means is that, should social-nationalism, by a political miracle (which I do not rule out) take power in this country, it will have to start its mission by removing surgically, and by drastic surgery, large sections of degenerate society, at all income and social-status levels.

30% of births in the UK within only 20% of the population of the UK. The “indigenous” part of the population is only producing 70% of births. In fact, non-white mothers are counted by such studies as “indigenous”, so the true situation is far more stark. The white British 80% of the UK population is not producing 70% of births but a far smaller percentage, maybe well under 50%.

Jesus Christ! These are invaders, and must be treated as such.

Refer to previous comment.

One sees how, after the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, when dissenting thinkers such as Galileo were accused of heresy, free thinking was thought of as part and parcel of Western civilization— until now.

The attack on free thought, in the contemporary West, started with the Jew-Zionists, and their plan to make examination of modern history, particularly the “holocaust” farrago and mythus and, within that, especially, the whole “gas chambers” fable, something to be treated as if criminal. That repression is now in place in about 20 European states.

Now we see the knock-on consequences: people dissenting from “mainstream” (propaganda) opinion about aspects of “climate change”, or the “Covid” “panicdemic” should be (some say) treated as criminal. The same goes for those who do not agree with mass immigration and the consequent destruction of European life and culture.

At first, I thought that tweeter Professor Cowern might be a parody account, but no! See https://uk.linkedin.com/in/nickcowern. Someone who apparently worked mainly in “modelling”, employed at Harwell and by Philips electronics, his main field(s) being in materials science and semiconductors (i.e. nothing to do with climate), but who now focusses upon and, it seems, obsesses about climate change by reason of human agency.

He was a professor at Newcastle University for only 6 years; now “emeritus”, i.e. retired from academia (aged 70), though was until 2021 running his own (one-man-band) show engaged in modelling climate change etc.

The sort of scientist who flourished under Stalin, denouncing those with contrary opinions.

Yes, thankfully, many people are still willing to stand up for academic and personal freedom of thought and expression.

They are not people with what Professor Cowern calls an (impliedly, improper) “interest” in the same, whereas Professor Cowern was Director of a private “climate change modelling” company set up by himself; NC Tech Insight Ltd.

In fact, it seems that Professor Cowern’s Linked-In profile is not entirely accurate, because, according to Companies House, NC Tech Insight Ltd, having been incorporated in 2014 (with a share capital of £100 and actual capital/assets — in 2018— of £83,000), was dissolved in early 2021. It seems that, as far as can be seen on cursory examination, Professor Cowern’s self-promoted expertise is not much in demand: see https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08897617.

More of the “professor’s” words of “wisdom”:

I have to wonder what is the personal provenance of the “professor”…

For a supposed scientist who has (as far as I can see) developed nothing new or at least very interesting in the scientific field, the “professor” is extremely dogmatic and scathing. A Lysenko for our times?

“In 1940, Lysenko became director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR‘s Academy of Sciences, and he used his political influence and power to suppress dissenting opinions and discredit, marginalize, and imprison his critics, elevating his anti-Mendelian theories to state-sanctioned doctrine.[4]

Soviet scientists who refused to renounce genetics were dismissed from their posts and left destitute. Hundreds if not thousands of others were imprisoned. Several were sentenced to death as enemies of the state, including the botanist Nikolai Vavilov.[5] Lysenko’s ideas and practices contributed to the famines that killed millions of Soviet people;[5] the adoption of his methods from 1958 in the People’s Republic of China had similarly calamitous results, culminating in the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962.”[5]

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko].

Professor Emeritus Cowern strikes me as a crank, overall, and an unpleasant crank at that. Also, someone with very poor logical skills, looking at his attempts to debate with critics.

“Hate speech“? Is “Professor” Cowern (you know who)?

One of the features of Britain over the past few decades has been the over-supply of supposed “professors”. The proliferation of institutions calling themselves “universities” has resulted in an explosion in the numbers of those designated as “professors”. Many are rather poor.

[Update, 7 February 2025: the blog page for 12 August 2023 having had a few hits today, I looked to see what the “Professor” is saying these days. Nothing much. He has performatively left Twitter/X and is now on its new “woke”/joke rival, “Blue Sky Social”. Same obsession, though: https://bsky.app/profile/nickcowern.bsky.social].

Good grief. Everyone should know this.

You can see the way things are going, eg in the car production arena. Firstly, the “Great Reset” demands electric cars because (it is falsely claimed) they are more “green” than existing internal combustion cars. Then existing petrol/diesel cars will be gradually phased out (made more expensive or even illegal). Then, after that, most people will simply be unable to afford to buy or drive electric cars. Car transport will thenceforth largely be available only to the self-styled elites: the wealthy, politicians, bankers etc…

One can see that the transnational conspiracy tries relentlessly to twist or pervert everything in society, and thus it is that, in much of the world, “trans” “women” are given equal designation (or better than) real women, the primitive black cultures and backward “brown” cultures are given equal respect (or better) compared to European/European-derived cultures (which are almost always far more advanced), and disabled athletes, “paralympians”, are (with the best of intentions on the part of many adherents) given equal status with real Olympic athletes, and so on.

Is this terrible fire the result of sabotage? Is it another attempt to “prove” that “global warming” “climate change” via human agency is not a globalist scam?

No wonder you never hear the 1960s, 1950s (and earlier) expostulation “it’s a free country!” any more…

Strange dream

Like Churchill, I have the habit of having an afternoon nap when possible. Today that came with an odd dream. I was running some political organization, and there was not only some (unidentified) journalist there, but also Nigel Farage.

Upstaging the journalist, Farage had made a grandiloquent offer, that is that he would pay me a million pounds to interview me for some TV show or podcast.

The interview was to take place at an ordinary table on the (maybe) third floor of a building. Just a dull, carpeted space, with a few people (including that journalist) around. Someone else was accompanying Farage.

Farage was about to start when, not quite trusting him, I remarked (in the dream, “urbanely”…) that I was sure that, as a man of business, he would not mind if I asked for the cheque upfront. He started to expostulate evasively. I asked what value of cheque he was willing to give. The answer, after some “umming and arring”, was…£22!

I became angry, dragging Farage from his seat and across the grey-carpeted floor to the window, with him struggling and trying to escape.

As I approached the windows, Farage in my grasp (though struggling to break free), I shouted at him that I had known that he could not be trusted, and that not only should he be chucked out of a window but that I was going to do it!

I then woke up.

Well, that was what I was doing this afternoon…

From where did that come?

Well-intentioned if stupid members of the public donate money to Care4Calais etc, but I wonder(quite apart from the evil of importing hostile untermenschen into the UK) how much goes to “grifters” such as Clare Moseley, who also had an affair with a North African. In fact, the only reason she did not get knocked up by the said migrant-invader is because she was too old to get pregnant.

As a barrister (until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, though I did not practise law anyway after 2008), I saw, even in the early 1990s, the “rotten borough” that is asylum law, and immigration law in general.

Perhaps so, and indeed that dissident third would shrink further if the people asked knew that the invaders are not detained, can come and go freely, get free food and medical (etc) as well as shelter, and even pocket money on top.

Having said that, the barges are a distraction. Up to a thousand of the invaders cross the Channel daily. Only 500-600 can be accommodated on one barge. Also, cross-Channel migration is only a fraction of the whole (about a million a year, plus births to migrant/immigrant/other non-white women already here).

Not until London is cleansed. Read that however you like.

I wonder which pub that was. I lived, on and off, in Little Venice (Maida Vale), in those years. Just off Clifton Road..

I wonder how that army would stack up against either the Russian one or that of the Kiev regime?

Having said that, armies (especially large ones) vary much within themselves in their levels of effectiveness. Some regiments, corps, or other units are far above others.

Brutal. No wonder the Kiev regime is finding it hard to recruit volunteers, or even mercenaries.

The most interesting secondary fact is that the two main System parties are only supported by two-thirds of the voters. However, that is almost irrelevant from an electoral point of view, thanks to the UK’s First Past The Post electoral system. Those two parties will probably take not merely most of the seats in England, or even two-thirds, but almost all of them.

1956, the year of my birth (as well as the year of Khrushchev’s Secret Speech, the Suez Crisis, and the Hungarian Uprising). That scene now looks like a very long time ago indeed.

As I have blogged previously, Ukraine as a state has no future. In the past year, 350,000 (almost all men) killed or injured on the battlefield, while 20% of the population (mostly women and under-18s) is living outside Ukraine, and on top of a very low birthrate even before 2022.

“In 1995, the twins, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born 12 weeks premature, each weighing only about 2 pounds. They were placed in separate incubators. One twin was not expected to survive. She went into critical condition. Her heart rate was rising while her oxygen level was dropping significantly. They were about to lose her. It was then that one nurse, Gale Kasparian, went against the hospital rules and standard procedure, putting the healthy twin next to her struggling sister in the same incubator. This decision turned out to be life-saving. Once the twins were close to each other, the struggling sister (Brielle) snuggled up to the healthy sister (Kyrie) who put her arms around Brielle. Almost immediately after, Brielle’s vital signs started stabilizing. Her heart rate and oxygen levels normalized. Both twin sisters eventually survived and grew into strong young women. The picture below came to be known as the rescuing hug and would change a part of our understanding of medicine. Hugging that is coming from the heart is proven to have calming and healing effects. Maybe there is someone in your life that can use a warm and heartfelt hug right now.”

Interesting, as are a few of the readers’ comments.

Argos was started by a man who “invented” Green Shield stamps, a ubiquitous thing in 1960s/1970s Britain. In fact, he “borrowed” the idea of those stamps from the USA, where they had been around for about half a century.

When that man, Richard Tompkins, started Argos, almost all the “experts” in the newspaper financial and business columns of the Press thought that it would not work. The “experts” were wrong, as usual (the same columnists and other scribblers also thought, in the 1980s and 1990s, that Sky TV and Amazon respectively would not succeed).

I blogged once or twice recently about Ukraine’s severe demographic problems: low birthrate, 20% of the pre-2022 population (mostly women and under-18s) now not within Ukrainian borders, and now these deaths and other casualties. If the war continues, Ukraine as a state has no future.

Never underestimate the strategic importance of defence in depth. In 1943, Allied forces invaded Sicily, then landed at Anzio, south of Rome, in January 1944, subsequently advancing to Rome itself by June 1944. The Italian government of Mussolini collapsed after the Fascist Grand Council and the King dismissed Mussolini, who was arrested (though later rescued by Otto Skorzeny’s commando and glider force).

The fall of Rome in 1944, however, was not the end of the matter in big-picture terms. The several east-west German lines of defence were only slowly breached by Allied forces: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Line.

The German forces withdrew from the various lines in good order, always to the North. By the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Allies had still not reached the Austrian frontier.

In the present Ukraine conflict, the Kiev-regime forces are exhausting themselves. They have little prospect of advancing as far as Crimea, nor of regaining the former Ukrainian oblasts of Donetsk and Lugansk, let alone of breaching, in any substantial way, the borders of Russia proper.

[“Russia has no borders; it is wherever there are Russians“]

Sunak’s ancestors picked our crops in British Raj India and in British East Africa; he now tells middleaged/elderly white British people to “chop chop“…

Traitors facilitated the importation of exploitative hordes who despise the British people.

The main assault of freedom of expression in the UK comes from the Jew-Zionist element; 95%+ of the anti-free-speech tyranny is from “them”.

“Grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” has now deployed yet another “sock account”, one “@ThelastFM2” (joined Twitter July 2023, 1 “follower”). She has hundreds of such fake personas. They even have contrived conversations with each other about how good Jack Monroe is, and/or about how bad or dishonest are those exposing “Jack Monroe”.

One of many many examples.

The police, HMRC and charity regulators (and Twitter) should be investigating “Jack Monroe”.

Are they waking up?

…and look at those stupid police “me too-ers” supporting Eddie Izzard and thus the whole “trans” nonsense.

Those police idiots should get out and start doing their proper job, assuming that they can still remember what that is.

…and all the msm “enablers” are now calling Eddie Izzard “she”, “her” etc. The UK is at least halfway to going absolutely mad, but that progression to lunacy has not come about by accident. It has been contrived. It is being contrived. Daily. Conspiracy.

My own, and more polite, assessment of Therese Coffey, first published on the blog about 4 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/. It has proven one of the most popular things I have written here.

“As a child aged just nine, I endured the longest and most terrifying night of my life, fleeing with my family from our home.

Nearly 70 years later, every detail of that escape is still burned into my memory. All my life I have had the deepest sympathy for fellow refugees: those who leave behind everything they own and everyone they know to reach safety.

It was at the beginning of winter in 1956 that the Furedi family fled Hungary. My father was one of the leaders of the workers’ councils in Budapest organising resistance to Soviet Union control. That culminated in an uprising, which was mercilessly crushed by Red Army tanks and troops.

Many of these peers inhabit a fantasy world. The soaring numbers of illegal migrants entering Britain don’t lose them any sleep at night. In their ermined world, any attempt to find a practical solution to the problem is dismissed as ‘isolationist’, ‘morally unacceptable’ and ‘impractical’.

The BBC is equally detached from reality.

As a university sociologist, listening to the whining in the Lords, I cannot help but draw the conclusion that the very existence of this narcissistic, unelected, unaccountable chamber is a political corruption of democracy.“

[Daily Mail]

Completely correct.

One of the worst abusers of the House of Lords system is “Lord” Alf Dubs, a half-Jew whose (Jewish) father fled from Prague in 1938, leaving behind his (Austrian) wife and his son (they arrived in London a year later).

Alf Dubs, Labour MP for 8 years before later joining the misnamed “Lords”, was (maybe still is) a cheeky freeloader and expenses cheat (by any other name):

“Dubs lists his main home as a cottage in the Lake District in Cumbria, which enabled him to claim over £26,000 of overnight subsistence expenses in 2007–08,[15][16] although he has lived in Notting Hill, London, since 1964. In May 2009, he argued in justification that Lords regard the overnight allowance as a payment in lieu of salary. “We are the only legislators in the world that don’t get paid,” he said. “The overnight thing is quite generous because it compensates for not having a salary. In practice that’s how it works.“

[Wikipedia]

That was 15+ years ago. I wonder how much the old fraud drags down these days while trying to import as many migrant-invaders as possible to batten upon the British people who, generously but wrongheadedly, gave him and his parents refuge in 1938 and 1939?

Cowell, 63, has told friends that he no longer feels safe in Central London and quietly sold his house, with the deal being completed a few days ago.”

A straw in the wind. London is now not worth living in, even for those with great wealth.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23654056.world-war-two-veteran-made-homeless-eviction/

“A 98-YEAR-OLD war veteran who is battling cancer has been evicted from his bungalow and is now homeless.

Alfred Guenigault, who served in World War Two as a paratrooper, was issued with a no-fault eviction notice two months ago by the landlord of the Ferndown bungalow he has lived in for the past seven years. 

He is now living in St Gabriels hostel in Verwood with his daughter Deb Dean and her husband Bert and says he feels “terrible” about the situation..

The great-grandfather-of-six-fears he will not be able to see his grandchildren from his new residence.

The family was forced to pack up their belongings and leave Ferndown on Thursday afternoon.

They turned to the council for help, which told them to go to First Point, a Dorset-based support service.

Deb said: “They were amazing and helped us so much with the forms and explaining things and told us we were eligible for a bungalow. 

“They said there is a duty to house us temporarily, which we understand, but we didn’t think it would be in a hostel.” 

Deb said the one room provided for them is empty, with no beds, apart from one provided by the hospital for the veteran, and has a shared kitchen and bathroom.

He also won’t be able to see any of his church friends who come over to see him or the vicar as well; his life is here in Ferndown.

Deb, a pensioner herself, lives with her father as his full-time carer while he battles cancer and severe kidney disease and said the situation is “very unfair” on her dad in his final years.

She added: “Dad has his carers in three to four times a day and I have to be with him 24 hours a day but because I recently became a pensioner, they have stopped my carer’s allowance which is about £700. 

“We are told we will be in a hostel for six to eight months and it’s very unfair on him.

“My concern is that in six months, he may not even be here anymore.”

Mr Guenigault, who has been awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honour by the French government, said: “None of my grandchildren will be able to stay in the hostel. I feel terrible, but mostly for Deb. 

“I also have to change my doctor, who is brilliant, as it is outside the area, but I don’t want to do that.” 

A spokesman for Dorset Council said the authority will work with the family to find suitable accommodation in “as short a timescale as possible” but that they “need to be realistic about what is achievable in the current climate”.

“The council takes the Military Covenant very seriously and has a former veteran working within the team so really do appreciate the sacrifice our veterans make.”

[Bournemouth Echo].

Britain 2023…

Several points come to mind.

First of all, the sheer injustice of the whole “no fault eviction” laws. I know that such “no-fault evictions” are going to be banned [see https://www.blandy.co.uk/about/news-and-insights/insights/the-end-of-no-fault-evictions-what-does-this-mean-for-landlords-and-tenants] but that new law has yet to be passed.

Secondly, that landlord (a buy-to-let parasite?) is a prime subject for “naming and shaming”, if there ever was one.

Thirdly, how unjust that the old man’s daughter is now deprived of her Carer’s Allowance just because she has now become eligible for a slightly higher weekly amount by way of State Pension.

Fourthly, there would at least be decent alternative accommodation available for people like this were Britain not flooded with millions of black and brown migrant-invaders and other immigrants (“other” including about 150,000 bloody Ukrainians alone since last year).

Lastly, note the meaningless weaselling by the local council about the “Military Covenant” brought in by the government of David Cameron-Levita. Just lip-service. Useless.

At some point, Britain will explode, one way or another. This whole situation is unsustainable, and insupportable.

A final thought on this: is there no ex-members’ welfare organization attached to the Parachute Regiment that might help?

The BBC is an in-club, where conformity rules. They all support or believe in “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev), “climate change” (via “emissions”) and the “necessity” for the UK to become much poorer (by going “net-zero”), “Black Lives Matter” or similar, “Covid” and all the stupid or crazy “measures taken”, the EU as something wonderful, the supposed “duty” to import, feed, and house millions of fake “refugees”, and of course the “holocaust” farrago in all details accepted by the Jewish lobby…

Press-gangs at work, but the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder.

The countryside charity CPRE London hopes to weave together existing areas of green belt in the city’s 18 outer boroughs to create an uninterrupted ring of trees around the capital.“

Local/personal/individual before either “grifters” such as “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii” etc, and also before the sort of big charities where chancers such as, at least in the past, sex pest Brendan Cox (the widower of assassinated MP, Jo Cox) get a couple of hundred thousand a year as “executives”.

Of the well-known charities, Cats Protection is a good one, usually (the local branches are run semi-autonomously, I believe). The Cats Protection branch near Exeter was, probably still is, very good.

Also, GoFundMe has numerous appeals from UK, USA etc, mostly very genuine.

Watched a couple of episodes of the detective series, Vera. As previously, very well put together, but why oh why is every second major character a black? In the North East of England, where there are relatively few non-whites. This “blacks with everything” agenda is now more than tiresome.

Tucker Carlson: “Sorry, sir, but are you sad that the Ukrainians don’t have enough American tanks? Every city in the United States has gotten a lot worse over the past few years. Go and tour the cities yourself and you will see that not a single city in our country has improved, the economy is in decline, suicides are on the rise, our streets are full of filth, and yet you only think of Ukraine? That country that most Americans can’t even locate on a map!“

Mike Pence: “All of the things you mentioned don’t worry me.”

Pence’s loyalty is to NWO/ZOG, not the USA and/or the American people.

We are rather close to World War Three, which approaches us rather rapidly…

The Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Kiev…

Surprising that Sunak and Macron are even that high.

While I have no reason to think that “Captain Tom” was other than “well-meaning”, that whole thing was just a ridiculous “silly season” kind of story, and was pushed by the mass media because it tended to validate the idea that NHS service is wonderful and that the NHS was only failing in its main mission because overwhelmed by the “Covid” virus (that in fact, statistically, killed very few people).

I was always suspicious of the hangers-on, especially the daughter, who now turns out to be yet another “grifter” or even fraudster, like so many around today: “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, Jolyon Maugham, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. Hundreds of this or that type are on Twitter alone.

As for the NHS, the cartoon below seems to encapsulate the public debate:

The NHS principle (“free at point of use”) is one I support, but it is clear that the NHS has lost its way. It —like the Welfare State generally— cannot work when mass immigration causes an endless line of new demand for its services. Also, maladministration has been patent for years, indeed for at least two decades. At present, the NHS is not really “doing what it says on the tin”. It is now a very hit-and-miss service.

They never really tried. Yet another political scam. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan requires Europe to be invaded by non-Europeans, particularly blacks and browns, and to be ruled by Jews and part-Jews. Look around you…

As far as the Channel migration-invasion is concerned, once a small number of boats were sunk (by Britain’s otherwise now-pointless Royal Navy), and that fact publicized, few others would even try; but the existing political system is either too weak, or implicated in the Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy, to take the initial harsh decision required.

Thus, instead of sinking the boats of the invaders, the Navy ferries the invaders to Dover, assisted by other corrupted organizations such as the RNLI, the Coastguard, the Border Force (“Farce”) etc.

Whatever one may think of Johnny Mercer MP, his wife gets full marks both for loyalty and humour.

Point proven. Not that humour is everything, but it helps.

Guess which countries will suffer the most if a major conventional war breaks out in Eastern Europe and then Central Europe? Germany and Poland. Naturally, Germans are concerned. As to the Poles, God knows.

Good grief…

I agree almost completely. The NHS is an object-lesson in maladministration, particularly the hospital sector.

As blogged previously, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder.

Crazy Jewish woman, who holds herself out as being an expert in international relations and foreign trade, displays a complete lack of understanding, perhaps wilfully.

If Ukraine (Kiev regime) is allowed to join NATO, before very long there will be a situation created which might trigger “Article 5”, meaning that there would be war between Russia and the NATO states. The UK might then be subject to attack by strategic nuclear weapons. Nein danke…

That is, in fact, Zelensky’s only real chance of achieving any sort of “victory” in this war, to have a revolution in Russia, thus collapsing the front-line; as in 1917, when Russia was facing the Central Powers.

Russia has money coming out of its ears. The economic sanctions put in place by the EU, USA and UK have actually strengthened the Russian economy and strategically-hastened the fall of the post-1945 international order. The sanctions have mainly hit the taxpayers of the Western powers.

Russia needs to strengthen its culture, and cut back on the products and values coming out of Hollywood, New York and other such centres of decadence. Films, TV, pop music etc.
