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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stray thought

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Again, Ann Widdecombe shows her complete separation from reality.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Jew Shapps, who was caught trying to flog get-rich-quick schemes under the false name “Michael Green”. He even used the fake ID in the House of Commons.

The UK is tainted. We need to [redacted…].

There are anti-free-speech agitators already active in various areas of UK life, the worst being the Jew-Zionists trying to shut down all criticism or comment about Jews, Israel, fake history etc: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

“…the dangers of fascism“, from a loony whose Extinction Rebellion cretins block roads, physically prevent citizens from getting to work, prevent ambulances getting patients to hospital, spray paint onto Old Master paintings and shop windows etc, all to make political points based on complete madness.

“Extinction Rebellion” are of no more importance than the “Yippies” of the late 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_International_Party.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sven Longshanks

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

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

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

“Lawfare”.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

https://twitter.com/Figensport/status/1657368083261014017?s=20

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What a horrible and cruel scene.

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

White European culture and civilization must be defended.

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

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

Very good analogy ad extremum…

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

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

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

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

“Ukraine” (Kiev regime), a failed state; in fact, a fake state.

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

[VDNKh, Moscow— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibition_of_Achievements_of_National_Economy]

From the newspapers

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

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

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

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

[Peter Hitchens, in the Daily Mail]

[should be captioned “MIGRANT INVADERS”]

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

John Osborne

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

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

[Wikipedia]

Polemical, but he had a point.

More from Osborne:

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

[Wikipedia]

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

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

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

Not that that means that Bezmenov was completely wrong.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Zelensky always looks unwashed to me; frankly rather unclean.

I think that the musicians will beat the comedians…

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

Now reverse-engineer it.

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

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

That is very restrained.

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

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

The further tweets are worth reading.

Saturday quiz

This week, I scored 7/10, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 6, and 7.

Inexorably, the war moves towards total war. The Russian side cannot tolerate forever the continual escalation.

Ukraine (Kiev-regime) is running out of soldiers. One can see why.

Hard for the Jews (in Israel) to continue to present themselves as perennial “victims” when advanced jet aircraft supplied by or paid for by the American taxpayer mercilessly attack Arab real victims, who have no means of self-defence at all.

https://twitter.com/sahouraxo/status/1657020370782769154?s=20

Comment about Starmer’s latest speech. I agree with the extract quoted by Rentoul but, having said that, one could say that “Labour” is no longer “socialist” or even broadly “social” (politically) and is (just like the “Conservatives”) also completely out of touch.

Both System parties, and both entirely in the pocket of the Jewish-supremacist lobby.

Import the uncivilized non-white world (and allow the non-whites to breed prolifically, and also fail to control them) and you import these sorts of social problems.

Not that all such problems are caused by non-whites, but most are. About 90%, even though the non-whites are “only” about 20% of the UK population, and about 40%-50% (?) of the London population.

The Eastern European states, and the poorer EU states generally, love the EU for its financial largesse, the redistribution of wealth from the “old EU” to the “new EU”. Ireland, the Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc. For the larger, longer-membership, western and central European states, the wealthier ones, the EU is disastrous. UK (until recently), France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands; also Sweden, Denmark etc.

There is also the problem of non-white migration-invasion.

The original EEC/EC was not so bad — relaxed trade and travel, even relatively easy residence and work—. It worked because the original EEC populations were closely-related northern European nations, and because it was primarily a trading bloc, not an ever-expanding political project.

There was no non-white migration-invasion, because Libya under Gaddafi, Morocco, and Algeria all stopped Africans from coming across the Mediterranean; also, the NWO had not yet destabilized the Middle East and Afghanistan. Even the Roma Gypsies were “imprisoned” behind the so-called “Iron Curtain” until 1989, and so unable to travel to the UK and other parts of Western Europe.

In the long-term, perhaps even medium-term, Israel is doomed.

“Britain’s compensation bill for victims killed or maimed by AstraZeneca‘s Covid jab could theoretically exceed £1billion, MailOnline can reveal. 

Around 90 families are currently pursuing legal action against the pharmaceutical titan, claiming the jab was essentially a defective product.

Lawyers representing the claimants believe that some of the cases could be worth up to £20m in compensation, which is roughly 160 times more than the £120,000 Government support available. They hope to be able to prove that the vaccine was to blame in court.“

I think that many people, even today, will be honest if they find a purse or wallet. In the past few years, I myself have found two or three. One was a kind of wallet I happened to see in a clifftop parking place. I was there, unusually, early one morning, not long after dawn. I saw the item in the half-light, was curious, so went to pick it up.

The wallet contained about £50 in cash, I think also a debit card, a couple of other bits and pieces, and a student railcard in the name of some girl.

I went home, thinking that the girl must be fairly local, in view of the station which had issued the railcard, only about 8 miles from that car park. Her surname was unusual, so I called the few telephone numbers (landlines) with the same name. Only one answered. An old lady, so no-go.

In the end, I drove to the local police station (its desk manned by an old fellow, a civilian support person) and gave in the wallet. I made the point that there was a large college near the rail station which issued the card, so the girl was almost certainly one of the students there.

I hope that the girl got back her money and the rest. As for what a young girl aged 16-18 was doing in a clifftop car park and (presumably) after dark, and how she managed to lose her wallet, maybe it is better not to speculate…

The second wallet was larger, newer, and packed with both money and cards (an incredible number, literally dozens, neatly and individually carefully tucked into pockets), and had been left in a shopping trolley at Waitrose. I took it in to the help desk, and a member of staff took it from me. Probably the woman who lost it got it back soon afterwards. I imagine that she must have called the store in a panic.

Not that I promise to be a good citizen if someone leaves an attache case containing a million pounds somewhere, which amount of cash could not, in my view, be the property of any honest person. No, the (so far, hypothetical) million pounds stays with me, in that event.

The Conservative Democratic conference. Hall almost empty. Rows and rows of empty seats. The photos show no more than 100 in the audience. In fact, I think that I addressed a larger audience than this one when I spoke at the London Forum in 2017.

Hard to judge the age demographic accurately from the photos, but apart from a few younger persons under 30 (possibly students), and a few youngish blonde women (possibly journalists), the audience seems to have been predominantly grey-haired or bald. I should say, at a guess, that there were more people over 70 than there were people under 50.

She looks and sounds drunk.

The USA (and therefore the world) has a problem— a plainly demented President, and the Vice-President a drunken black/Tamil Indian woman.

“There is a myth that as a country we cannot afford our state pensions. And that myth is central to Iain Duncan Smith’s proposals to raise the state pension age to 75.

But there is a problem with the premise of IDS’s bright idea. The reality is that according to the OBR, public spending on the state pension is expected to rise by less than 1 per cent of GDP between 2017-18 and 2022-23.

In the even more distant future, the OBR forecasts that by keeping the current system in place, by the 2060s when those people currently in their twenties are drawing down on a state pension, our country will only be spending around 2 per cent more as a share of our GDP.

No government wishing to be re-elected will ignore the largest voting bloc in the country, therefore there will need to be some form of income support for this group. The cost increase is clearly not beyond the realms of manageability under current forecasts.

The poorest pensioners are the ones who are most reliant on the state pension – moving the goalposts is a callous response to a rise in poverty among the elderly. Under IDS’s plans, the elderly will have to work longer in an unforgiving job market typified by low wages and zero-hours contracts. Do we really want to condemn a 70-year-old to in-work poverty? It’s utterly cruel…

Serious government policy in the 21st century should focus on how we ensure everyone from cradle-to-grave shares in the wealth of our nation. A universal basic income, a shorter working week, and the maintenance of the triple lock system: these are the policies of tomorrow.“

[The Independent]

If implemented, a plan such as that suggested by Iain Duncan Smith, under present circumstances, would mean that people 65-75, i.e. at the age where most people now are receiving State pensions, and who are often managing long-term health problems, would be made subject to the ridiculous and shambolic, yet extremely repressive DWP regime started under Labour after 2005 and then made far harsher by “Dunce” Duncan Smith (his real name is plain “Smith”) after 2010.

I do not understand how Smith has lasted this long politically, being terminally thick, having falsified his CV several times, and having cost the State huge amounts via his half-baked programmes. That is not even taking into account his own outright frauds in respect of his MP expenses. Hundreds of thousands of pounds. I also do not understand how he has survived generally. He must be well-guarded.

That last in fact is a major reason why things are as they are in the UK: instead of MPs and ministers being afraid of the people, the poor British people are afraid of the cruel, corrupt, and freeloading MPs and ministers.

Something has to be done about the state of the UK. That much is becoming obvious to almost everyone. That, however, just begs the question, in a political milieu where the main System parties are very similar in policy terms.

For once, I agree with Ash Sarkar.

https://twitter.com/KG367919716/status/1657009087450677248?s=20

She is, in a sense, correct here too, sadly. Except that she wants the UK to become non-white (like her), and I (of course) do not.

The non-European, non-white population is exploding. Their birth rate is far higher than that of (real) British people, and of course there is the continuing migration invasion, not only via small boats crossing the Channel but also via so-called “legal” immigration. All in all, over 700,000 in the past year alone.

All System parties either support or do nothing to stop the invasion of non-whites into the UK. Meanwhile, idiots or malicious grifters of the Ash Sarkar type applaud our upcoming racial and national demise.

The laws re. free speech or, rather, repressing free speech, are now so harsh that I cannot say here what should be done with System political frauds, malicious groups (both Zionist groups and those who can mainly be described as their “useful idiots”), and other enemies of the people. My readers will have to read between the lines.

Ha ha! It seems to work… More would have worked even better.

A “chimp-out”, as the Americans say…

It is more important to eliminate Zionism in the UK, France, and USA (etc) than to oppose it in the Middle East.

[FYI: I have no connection with any existing political party or movement].

Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands.

For me, socialism effectively died in 1989 (I tend not to use the poorly-defined “Left/Right” descriptors). Look at a mild version of socialism, that of the Labour Party in the UK. It veered between socialism and social-democracy in the 1956-1989 period, then chucked out its socialist elements during the 1990s, under Blair.

Look at Labour now. It is very very obvious that Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will do nothing radical to help the poorer part of the society, but will try, so to speak, “to run the workhouses better”, and no more.

Ironically, Labour might have recovered some old-style socialism under Corbyn, had he stayed on, but of course the Jewish lobby finished off Corbyn and anyone supportive of him in Labour. Most of them have been expelled or stamped on hard enough to shut them up.

Labour’s “offer” to the voting public amounts to a possibly more efficient (maybe not even that) version of what the Conservative Party has been doing for 13 years.

Labour is doing well in the opinion polls by default, purely because the “Conservative” misgovernment is so bloody awful.

Putin has more patience than I would have in the same circumstances.

1980s— catapults and rocks. 1990s— rockets akin to large fireworks. 2023— more sophisticated rockets. 2030? 2040? The Israelis must be wondering what might be coming down the track…

Leaving aside the migration-invasion, this is about the gradual censoring of scenes and names in film and TV, and in particular about one film.

In The Dambusters, made in 1955 but set in 1943, the companion dog of the raid commander, Guy Gibson, is called (as he was in real life), “Nigger” (he was a black Labrador), but in recent years the film has been altered so that Nigger is referred to as “Trigger“. In fact, I happened to see a few minutes of the film last week on some channel or other and, indeed (in the subtitles too) “Nigger” had become “Trigger”. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dam_Busters_(film)#Censorship.

Now the poor dog’s grave is going to be disturbed so that a pack of unwanted non-European migrant-invaders will not be offended. What an absolutely pitiful country we have become.

I am scarcely a Trump partisan, but he is the best of the potential candidates in the USA right now, and of course far better than corrupt and demented Biden.

“Abolished“? Yes, you could call it that…

The funniest thing was when, in 2012, little William Hague opined on TV news that Assad would be gone within days.

I have found, in past years, that many police personnel are actually completely ignorant of the law, and vastly overestimate their own powers. A very bad combination, especially when Jew-Zionist organizations easily bamboozle the police and even CPS as to both what the law is and what the police etc should do and can do.

People are turning away from much of the propaganda on the msm platforms. In fact, I understand that many younger people (meaning under-35s in this case) rarely watch TV now, and even fewer bother with the news and talking-head shows often earnestly tweeted about on Twitter.

If you took your ideas from the Twitterati, you would think that BBC Question Time, one of the most-watched current affairs shows (perhaps the most-watched), is of moment to the entire UK population whereas, in reality, the usual audience is estimated to be between 1-2 million. Out of maybe 70 million persons in the UK.

The biggest audience for QT was in 2009, when Nick Griffin was on (but then ambushed and “lynched”)— 8.3M viewers. Another sizeable audience, also in 2009, was about the MP expenses cheating scandal— 3.8M viewers. Those two facts show the direction of travel, surely?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_Time_(TV_programme)#Audience_figures

All part of a long-term plan to reduce the UK to far lower standards of living, and packed with non-whites as well. I worked that out in the mid/late 1970s, when I was only about 20. People laughed at the idea. Now? Well, they are not laughing at the collapse of the NHS, shortage of housing, low pay etc, but most —still misled by the msm— do not connect the dots. Causation is misunderstood. The blame is placed on “Covid”, on “Putin”, on “Ukraine invasion”, on “climate change”, and so on.

Ukraine (meaning the Kiev regime) is running out of road militarily. Above all, its morale, sky high last summer, seems depressed now, and many recruits have to be forcibly pressed into service.

Soon, it will be impossible to write or speak about anything that does not follow the System narrative in the UK. There have already been dozens of faked-up “terrorist” trials in relation to other, including domestic, groups. Juries now are so supine, they are almost no guarantee of liberty. They just rubberstamp the prosecution.

Oddly enough, the Kiev-regime online and msm propaganda continues to persist with the “Russian soldiers ran away” story even though Russian forces have now taken Bakhmut/Artyomovsk. So who “ran away”? Or “withdrew”, in the more polite term?

Old sins cast long shadows. The Israelis can never cleanse their hands of the blood shed by them in and after (in some cases even before) 1948: ethnic cleansing, mass executions of villagers, theft of houses, apartments and land, and now the attempt to “settle” Jew fanatics from the USA, UK, Australia etc in the remaining Arab areas, displacing the remaining Arab communities

The Israel/Palestine situation is a Gordian Knot…

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

The nanny state…again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oliver Reed— quite a character. Despite the hellraising reputation and lifestyle, he could be quite pleasant and polite. My parents told me that they had met him (would have been in the late 1970s, I think, though maybe early 1980s) when stopping off for a drink at an inn on the Hog’s Back in Surrey, not far from Reed’s large Victorian country house. He was at the bar with a (male) friend, and was interesting and courteous, they said.

The conversation had ended prematurely when the publican whispered to Reed that “she’s outside!“, at which Reed and his friend ran out the back way, behind the bar. A moment later a blazingly-angry woman arrived, and said to the barman “has he been in?“, to which the barman diplomatically said “haven’t seen him“! She then stalked out. This turned out to have been Reed’s then wife, Jacquie.

Yes, Oliver Reed. The sort of character rarely seen then, and never seen now (arguende). Descended from Peter the Great, supposedly, and someone who started a romance with a 16-y-o schoolgirl when he was 42 (they later married, when she was about 21 and he was about 47).

The generality of the public want people to be either saints or sinners, but few people are unalloyedly either. “Blame and praise alike befall, when a dauntless man’s spirit is black and white mixed, like the magpie’s plumage” [Wolfram von Eschenbach, Parzival]

You see that wish of many to perceive people in a very rigid saint/sinner way in almost every political or social (or historical) scenario: the contending forces of the Second World War have to be either “evil” or “good”, despite it being obvious that bad things were done by all major forces contending.

The same is true of contemporary social or political matters in the UK. Those living on State benefits are often seen as either “scroungers” or “fraudsters” (though by some as suffering “victims” of society). Both can be true, even in one individual case, but people only want black and white, not grey.

Likewise, anyone who has served in the Army is now (following the American usage) a “veteran” and, if ever anywhere near a war zone, quite likely a “hero”, a usage that the Sun “newspaper” started in the early 1980s, when anyone who had set foot in the Falklands during the campaign was a “Falklands hero”.

Nurses of course are all seen as good, or even “angels”. Same, more or less, with doctors etc.

There is now no or very little nuance.

Funny. In 1988, when I first went to Poland, driven by a former schoolfriend who had met a Polish girl in London when I very nearly slipped into the Thames and drowned— long story…), he opined, after we had spent some weeks there (I think about 6 weeks, in the end) that maybe poor Poland, then still under socialist control, might one day overtake the UK and France, in the Biblical “the last shall be first” way. At the time, I thought it highly unlikely, but look now…

In fact, my addiction to Google Earth and its Street View has revealed to me in recent years how much Poland has changed since I was there in 1988 and 1989 (I went several times over a couple of years). The roads look better by far than most of the UK ones now, especially the motorways and main highways that now exist. As for Warsaw, completely different.

The above changes must be interesting to my then friend and driver (I did not drive at the time), who married that Polish girl a year or so later, in the Autumn of 1989 (I was the best man, and the wedding was a lavish affair held in the St. Mary Basilica in Krakov, in the main market square).

The same is true of, eg, UK governmental and legal systems.

Madness. Escalation of the conflict. Those missiles are not capable of reaching Moscow or Petersburg from Ukrainian territory, but are still able to reach far inside Russia. How long can it be before at least tactical nuclear weapons are used in Ukraine?

At one time, I wondered why the Palestinians in Gaza did not try to replicate the German V-1 technology of the Second World War era (which is almost all now openly available). My conclusion in the end was that the slow maximum speed of the V-1 (about 400 mph) would make it very vulnerable to Israeli jet fighters as well as to ground-to-air defensive missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb.

One has to look at the big picture— over the past 34 years since 1989, the major enemies of Israel have one-by-one been neutralized, one way or another: Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and also Libya and Lebanon. The only state of importance left standing now is Iran, which under the Shah was not hostile to Israel but became so after the Islamic Republic came into being in 1979. As for the Gulf Arabs, they are venal creatures, and have been well and truly suborned.

The difference lies in the (probable) fact that Peter Tatchell actually still believes in the idea that the UK is “a society under law”, whereas Bilderberg-attendee and Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet, expenses cheat, and fraud, Ed Balls, a globalist System politician turned businessman and talking head, knows from his own experience in government that that is now largely not the case. Yes, the UK has laws (so do North Korea, China etc), but we are less and less the kind of society we used to be, a real “society under law”.

There are several reasons for that, including the malicious Jew-Zionist lobby, which abuses law for its own purposes, and the fact that the UK is less and less a nation, as against being a place where a collection of heterogeneous peoples and types live.

That remark of Balls shows the attitude clearly: “there must have been intelligence“, akin to “we do not make mistakes” (the old 1930s NKVD slogan). In other words, the intelligence trumps any civil or legal right.

I recall in the early/mid 1980s, when a Soviet ensemble came to London (and toured the provinces as well), that there was apparently going to be a demonstration by Jews protesting against the imprisonment of Shcharansky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natan_Sharansky].

The British impressario, and the Russians in charge of the dance group, were told by a sergeant from the Special Branch that the UK authorities were aware that, on the opening night in London, there would be a demonstration by Zionist Jews, but that it would be non-violent and would consist of several Jews rising from their seats (mostly prominent seats in the stalls, i.e. near the stage) and shouting “free Shcharansky!“.

That intelligence turned out to be entirely accurate. Whether Special Branch or the Security Service, MI5, had an agent inside the planning group of the demonstrators, or whether Zionist leaders had met with the UK authorities and then been (in effect) given permission to make the demonstration, on the basis that it would happen at the start of the performance, not be repeated, and not be violent, I do not know.

I cannot now recall the name of the ensemble. I think not the Bolshoi. It was, I think, an ad hoc collection of stars from several Soviet companies. Maybe the “Moscow Classical Ballet”.

I think that the Special Branch even knew in what row of seats almost all the demonstrators would stand up.

Shcharansky was in fact freed not very long after (though it must have seemed a long time from the perspective of a prisoner in a special-regime camp in the Urals), in 1986, in a swap involving several spies. He later became a minister of the Israeli state.

To my surprise, I see that the British impressario [https://ae.linkedin.com/in/peter-b-46459b151] is still rolling; he must be at least in his late seventies now. I believe that he almost went out of business at one time (in the 1980s), but seems to have bounced back irrepressibly. There are people like that.

A nice story

As seen previously, young Ukrainians are increasingly unwilling to die for the Kiev regime and its amateur strategists.

Dancing on the deck of the Titanic…

The Kiev regime will either lose this war in the field, or by having its main cities razed to the ground.

Strange fate

What can one say?

Stray memories

Happened to read this, about the Bond Bug car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Bug.

I actually rode in one of them once, from Salisbury Plain to Central London. I think that it was the early Autumn of 1978. The driver was a friend of a friend, and we had all, with others, been on a 2-day parachute course.

I seem to recall that our journey to London was on a wet and windy Sunday, which might explain in part why the M4 was almost empty (actually, the motorways were not at all as crowded then, compared to today). Not the most direct route to London, but why that route was chosen, I have no idea (after about 45 years).

I remember the car rocking from side to side in the wind on the M4 (the Bug was a three-wheel car, inherently unstable at speed), and also recall the draught from the insecurely sealed plastic/rubber canopy. God knows what would have happened had we been hit by a real car, let alone a commercial truck. I have no doubt that the feeling of insecurity was well-founded. I do not think that either the driver or I myself wore seatbelts (mandatory seatbelt-wearing only came in in 1983), but I doubt that they would have made any difference. The Bond Bug would have been crushed like a beer can in any accident.

I see now from Wikipedia that the Bond Bug had a top speed of 76 mph (I think that we were travelling at about 60), and that only 2,270 were ever made. They are now collectors’ items, with some fetching around £6,000.

Travelling in the Bond Bug was almost as alarming as having to exit a plane at 2,500 ft.

Happy times? A mixed picture. Less constrained times, perhaps.

More tweets etc

Ha ha! I have blogged before about Novara Media’s ahistorical ignorance about the Russian Revolution, the 70+ years of “socialism” in the Soviet Union, and the several decades of socialism in Eastern and Central Europe.

I have also blogged about my own brief visit to the DDR (East Germany) in 1988; brief but eye-opening, as I was driven through the southern part of the country from Poland to West Germany over a couple of days.

I do not propose to repeat today what I have already written about my 1988 impressions, but in those days East and West Germany were very very different, like an apple next to an orange. Take the autobahn I travelled from Gorlitz on the post-1945 border with what is now Poland to the West German border. That autobahn was either the same as when created in the 1930s by the then National Socialist government, or a poor copy of such autobahnen. In West Germany, though, beautiful autobahnen, with smooth surfacing, proper signage etc (and an absence of the cobbles to which sections of the East German one had been reduced).

It is true that the East Germans tried to make socialism work, whereas the Poles more or less said “yes repeat no“, and carried on a parallel society underneath the official one.

Not that East Germany was completely rotten, but much of it was.

Having said that, West Germany had its own problems. Decadence. Complacency.

As for the reunified Germany, I could see when I was last there (about 20 years ago) that there had been a fall in many ways compared to when it was West Germany— rather untidy cities and towns, crowded autobahnen, and a very obvious non-European infestation in Munich and elsewhere. God knows what it must be like today.

While on the subject of socialist repression etc, just saw this:

Sudan on the TV news

Saw report about Sudan on TV news. Refugees from Sudan crossing into South Sudan (now an independent state). Except that those refugees were originally from South Sudan, and had fled war in South Sudan to go into Sudan. The war in Sudan is worse now than the one in South Sudan.

Who is trying to pick up the humanitarian pieces via aid agencies etc? The white man (from Europe or elsewhere).

How much better it would be if both Sudan and South Sudan were both ruled by Europeans (British ones, in the past)…

The same goes for the rest of Africa (including North Africa).

I saw You Only Live Twice in the cinema when it came out in 1967. I was not quite 11. I saw it at a large cinema in Manly (Sydney), and found the music very striking.

Quite. A wilful amnesia which, if anything, afflicts the UK even more than the USA.

Looks as though not all Ukrainians want to fight for the regime in Kiev.

As previously blogged, Ukraine is now no more than a facade of a state. It is entirely propped up by the NWO— arms, ammunition, money, medical supplies, you name it. Basic non-military functions of the state, such as pensions, salary payments etc, are being bankrolled by, ultimately, the taxpayers of Western and Central Europe, and those of North America.

“Free country”? Free speech?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-12055015/Loose-Women-star-Carol-McGiffin-forced-quit-Covid-conspiracy-views-row.html.

“Loose Women ITV star Carol McGiffin was forced to quit after a bizarre radio rant, including claiming the Covid pandemic was a World Health Organisation plot to take over every government.

...original Loose Women panelist Ms McGiffin also accused…mainstream news organisations of conspiring to brainwash the public, causing a mass mental health breakdown, after being ‘bought off by the Government’.

She had been a Loose Women regular from 2000 to 2013, then again from 2018.

But in her radio interview she slated the show, one of ITV’s most popular daytime programmes, hinting that she had been censored by its bosses.

She said: ‘I always look back at when I started working in television and radio as the good old days because they were much less policed, I suppose. Much less restricted and it was a freer place to be.

‘When I look back at the old Loose Womens I used to do from 2000 all the until I left in 2013, they’re completely different. There is so much offence. People take so much offence at so much and they never used to.'”

[Daily Mail]

I had not previously heard of Carol McGiffin, but that is of no matter.

Note how the Daily Mail scribbler slants the report, so that that woman is presented as rather loony: “bizarre radio rant” etc, while the report describes the often untruthful msm organizations as “reputable“.

Ha. Wes Streeting is a complete puppet of the sinister Jewish-Zionist lobby, which is the main enemy of free speech and freedom of expression in this country. The very malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and the snoop and strongarm squad “Community Security Trust”, mainly.

The msm in the UK is now packed with those who are enemies of the British people and of white Northern Europe generally. They hate us, they hate our history, they hate our capabilities. It’s us or them. Think about it.

Ship them back. Ship them out.

Exactly. Just like the Last Night of the Proms. Now the enemies of the British people even want to trash that island of convivial sanity.

Would have to be a very Draconian law to force most people to “mix” with her!

…and those cretins have a vote, just like you and me. Ridiculous.

Actually, I have to say, having seen pictures and bits of film of yesterday’s proceedings, what struck me was, in part, a feeling that quite a lot of it was rather unaesthetic. The word “vulgarity” came to mind, in fact.

I have seen, of course, parts of the 1953 Coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and that (maybe because it was on black and white film, and/or filmed from a slight distance) gave the impression of a kind of sacred grandeur. That, to my mind, and from what I have seen, was entirely absent yesterday.

“Sacred blood“? How far back does that person think the present monarchy goes? Ridiculous.

I have been meaning to do a “Deadhead MPs” piece about Lammy for about 4 years.

Can you imagine that that creature is a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn (whereas I was expelled in 2016 after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), is an MP and Shadow Cabinet minister (whereas I live in obscurity and without position or money) and, despite his huge ignorance, is welcome on TV opinion shows, earning about £200,000 on top of the MP salary and expenses.

Nothing, arguably, shows more clearly the sheer absurdity of where we now are as a country.

If the present Government were not utterly incompetent and completely lacking in credibility, it would have little difficulty batting away the present Labour Party but, as it is, the sheer ineptitude shown for 13 years is a gift to Labour.
