As I predicted.

If the (?) 10,000 North Korean troops are kept concentrated in a tight, discrete battle-group, they will be able to punch a hole 20 miles wide in the Kiev-regime lines in the Kursk region and behind that, in the Ukraine region bordering Kursk region. To repair that hole, the Kiev-regime will have to transfer forces from elsewhere, maybe even from the Donetsk/Lugansk front, where Russian forces are still steadily advancing.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

“The gangs” are not the problem; the problem is that there are literally tens of millions of migrant-invaders en route to the UK, either “illegally” or “legally”. A million a year. Plus births to already-arrived migrants.

Incidentally, the way the UK’s asylum laws were framed, in totally different conditions decades ago, as late ago as the 1950s, there are, in principle, literally hundreds of millions of blacks and browns who might be able to claim asylum. All they have to do is reach our shores…

Simplistic, of course, but not completely wrong either.

I suppose that GB News means “hanged“, but I have given up expecting basic literacy from the 20-something scribblers who now like to call themselves “journalists”.

Not bad for a Pakistani woman who has been appointed “Lord High Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice having never practised at the Bar, and whose legal career actually consisted of working as a salaried low-level Bar-qualified “gopher” in a firm of provincial solicitors.

Iโ€™m so not up for 15 min communities. It will not work for families with active kids doing all sorts of activities. And whilst the little people get to live confined with little choice those in the WEF fly in their jets & on their yachts telling โ€˜ the peopleโ€™ to reduce their lives. Who voted for these globalists?

The thin end of a very big wedge.

The ones in the crowded zone also forced to endure official “campaigns”, Soviet-style, such as “wear a facemask!

It does occur to me that, with the increasing pressure in the UK on animals, birds, fish, and insects, so many of which are now vulnerable or endangered, one possible answer might be to establish completely rewilded zones, perhaps 5 of them in England, and a smaller number but similar proportion in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

I have not fully thought-out the idea, so these are just stray ideas at present.

Such rewilded zones would go beyond the various existing zone-regimes such as Green Belt, National Park, Site of Special Scientific Interest etc.

The idea would be for such zones to be changed from whatever land use presently exists to a completely wild forest. New building would be banned, and existing housing gradually reduced. There would be no industry and no large-scale agriculture or horticulture.

The above requirements suggest that areas already sparsely-inhabited would be chosen.

As for the size of such rewilded zones, I am thinking in terms of about the same size of circumference as the M25, i.e. the Greater London area. About 5 of those in England, perhaps 2 in Scotland, 1 in Wales and 1 in Northern Ireland.

Traffic would be very restricted over time, roads not open to the public (eventually). The zones to be linked with each other and other countryside areas by the kind of wildlife grid I have proposed over recent years.

Ukraine will never join NATO. If it did, WW3 would be but a step away.

Ukraine has enough soldiers for another 6-12 months of fighting, and then there will be an acute shortage, writes the New York Times, citing the Pentagon.

American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate, because Russia is making steady progress, and the sense of pessimism in Kiev and Washington is growing, the text says.”

Is Ukraine stuck?

…the large-scale recapture of the land lost to Russia in 2022 looks less and less likely as the days shorten. Those who invested heavily in a summer offensive against Russia have so far been disappointed. And what then?

The USA is still (wisely) dead set against involving itself directly in the war, so what will break the stalemate? Does this just have to go on and on filling graveyards and doing severe economic damage to Ukraine and Europe? With what aim?

…I can sniff the wind as well as anyone, and when the mighty US magazine Foreign Affairs publishes a major article with the title Will The West Abandon Ukraine? (to which the answer, in my view, is ‘quite possibly’) I think something is going on. 

I’ve never been able to grasp what Britain’s interest is in sustaining a costly and risky war in South-East Europe between two corrupt and ill-governed hunks of the old Soviet Empire. A lot of US Republicans, not just the ghastly Trump, are also doubtful about the point of it.

Then there are recent reports of growing friction between Ukraine and Poland‘s government. I’m surprised this has not happened before, given the fairly recent (80 years ago) violent history between the two neighbouring peoples, in an area where events 500 years ago can still stir up bitter enmities.

And there is the current scandal of alleged corruption in Ukrainian military recruiting offices. This is no shock to anyone, as you can barely breathe in Ukraine without encountering corruption. But the point is that it suggests people in quite large numbers are paying to avoid fighting.

At the same time a lot of men of military age, banned by law from leaving Ukraine at the moment, are being caught trying to slip across the frontier with Romania. Which suggests that quite a few are getting through, and that this is a major difficulty for a country which has suffered terrible military casualties.

Honestly, if this war had not been so widely portrayed in crude storybook terms as a super-simple fight between total good and total evil, which it isn’t, we might have reached this stage before. But better late than never.

[Peter Hitchens in the Daily Mail]

I recall a discussion with some late middle-aged Poles in the snowy Polish winter of 1988; a week or two before Christmas. All three (a husband and wife, and the brother of that woman) had lived through the tumultuous events of the mid-20th Century in that part of the world. The brother had been captured with other Polish Army recruits, then deported by Soviet authorities to Vorkuta, where he spent several years but survived [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkuta].

That family had originally lived in or near Lvov (now a major city in Ukraine) but had been displaced. They however were adamant that they were Poles, and never Ukrainians. They seemed rather hostile to Ukrainians, in fact. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lviv#Interwar_period.

Since the Russian invasion of 2022, there has been a warmer Poland-Ukraine relation on the official level, but it cannot be said how long that will last; it may be fraying.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12527349/Child-snatcher-jailed-abduct-boy-Aldi.html

A child-snatcher has been jailed for attempting to abduct a three-year-old boy from Aldi – but was thwarted by the toddler’s seven-year-old brother.

Sergejus Paskevicius, 60, from Heywood in Rochdale, was arrested and charged for child abduction in July last year.

He was jailed for three years and two months at Manchester Crown Court (Minshull St).

On the face of it, that sentence seems exceptionally lenient, albeit that there may be mitigating facts not given in the newspaper report. The defendant will be out in about 18 months.

Worth listening to, though for me it is clear that the Earth is reaching, perhaps has already reached “peak population” (especially as far as the non-European —i.e. non-white— populations are concerned).

Convergence of systems, or the same system?

One sees much discussion online as to what is “Marxism” or “Communism” (or “Socialism”), and as to whether the new emerging totalitarianism in the West is “Marxist” or not. Many (of varying viewpoints) question the equivalence, looking at what is aimed at, and what are the policies espoused.

In fact, much of that debate is too theoretical. When you look at things from a practical perspective, the similarities are far more apparent. Look at a few of those.

In the Soviet social system, an extension of the ideals of the French Revolution was preached: liberty, equality, fraternity. Needless to say, those ideals were more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Even before Stalin took full power, a whole system of special rations, special pay, special healthcare and (in reality) education began to be implemented for the favoured parts of the population, especially the Nomenklatura.

Those favoured lived very different lives compared to the rest, all delineated by reference to rank and favour. Spacious apartments instead of shared and/or cramped houses and flats, healthcare in special hospitals (the best being the so-called “Kremlin Clinic” in outer Moscow) rather than standard Soviet hospitals, and a graduated set of special food outlets (usually not even open to the general public), in which could be bought items rarely or never generally available (caviar, smoked salmon, imported foods, imported kitchen equipment), and so on.

At the higher levels, the nomenklatura travelled “soft class” rather than hard, could get internal air tickets when they were hard to get for the base population, and had cars for local and regional transport (even in the 1980s, a black person in South Africa had a greater chance of buying a car than a Soviet citizen).

At the very highest levels, this “class division” of travel reached staggering inequality. The top brass would travel by “private” rail car or aircraft. When Sakharov was told to relocate in order to help with the Soviet atom bomb and hydrogen bomb projects, he travelled in a rail car which had a bedroom for himself and his wife, a sitting room, a dining room, accommodation for guards and other staff, a staffed kitchen, and an observation deck. This railcar was tacked onto an ordinary train.

The disparity even extended to communications, the nomenklatura above a certain level communicating among themselves by means of a special system of reliable and secure telephones. This was the vertushka, or vertushki (there were several levels of service, all self-standing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertushka).

Now look at the rulers and beneficiaries of the Western system today. The lifestyle disparity between the favoured few and the rest came out all the more strongly during the “Covid” “scamdemic”/”panicdemic”.

At meetings of the G7 or G20 heads of government in 2020-2022, the top attendees went around unmasked, shaking hands, kissing the ladies who were governmental leaders or their wives. Meanwhile, right next to them, were the waiters, waitresses, bodyguards etc, all masked! Almost an insult, really, a finger put up to the sheep watching on TV or reading the newspapers.

Indeed, the same is true in terms of travel. Ordinary people were banned from travel, or allowed to travel only on sufferance and after complying with Kafka-esque conditions, but the wealthy few and the governmental leaders continued buzzing around on private jets, and in reality subject to few restrictions.

We see the hypocrisy even now. The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, with Meghan Mulatta, making several transcontinental journeys per month using large private jets, often in order to speak about how the travel of the bulk of the population must be restricted or banned.

Not just Harry and the Mulatta; look at, say, Bill Gates, Emma Thompson and the rest. All travelling on hugely polluting private jets, helicopters, superyachts etc and at the same time lecturing the rest of the population about how they must accept ever-declining living standards…

In fact, that wealthy and ultra-wealthy stratum already live lives very different from the main population. In the UK, for example. Private jets for overseas travel. Helicopters for intra-UK or short-distance European travel. If cars need be used, that would usually be for short-ish distances, and the vehicles will be those that insulate the occupants from the outside. Range-Rovers, Rolls-Royce etc.

Needless to say, the wealthy rarely if ever require the NHS. Private healthcare only. As for security, the police are only needed as a backup for those in staffed country houses or London penthouses etc. Private security, maybe even bodyguards.

One could continue, but you see the point. This is a matter of the exercise of power, as well as that of privilege. The discussion “socialism” v. “capitalism” is largely sterile.

Everywhere you look now, you see the masks coming off: “15-minute cities”, 20 mph speedlimits, ULEZ, “social credit” ideas, the banning of most cars (in the medium-term and even short-term), the threat of further faked biosecurity “health” measures such as the facemask nonsense, “lockdowns” etc like a Sword of Damocles waiting to fall.

Add to that the black-brown migration-invasion and the obvious implementation across Europe of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

The black-brown hordes coming to Europe and including the UK are almost all coming from relatively poor living conditions in their home countries. For them, it does not matter that the NHS is failing, that the roads are falling to pieces, that pay and State benefits are low, that the police forces scarcely work, that the justice system is disintegrating etc. Why? Because all that is still far better than where they come from.

I am glad to see that a large part of the British population is at least becoming aware of the outline of what is happening.

Welsh people have started fighting back against the country’s new 20mph speed limit by painting over newly-erected road signs for the newly-restricted zones. 

Furious locals spray painted over signs for the 20mph limit after Wales’s new rules came into force today as lorry drivers also vowed to show their opposition by driving at 19mph.

Photos show furious drivers have now started fighting back against the scheme by vandalising the newly-erected speed limit signs themselves.
Drivers taking to the road were also left confused as many local authorities failed to put up the new signs ahead of the 20mph limit coming into force.

Some drivers said they were ‘scared’ to go out in case of being trapped by police, static cameras and mobile speed vans, with one elderly couple having cancelled their trip to Aberystwyth to visit family due to their fear of getting a ยฃ100 fine.

Almost everyone knows that Keir Starmer would —and probably will— be an appallingly-bad Prime Minister, but after (to take some of the most recent and most obvious) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak, I am not sure that many people really care.

The present Government is dying in an atmosphere of total public derision at its incompetence and pointlessness. Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is almost a nullity, dull as ditchwater and disbelieved on all sides, but the 2024 General Election is his to lose after 13 years of pseudo-Conservative misgovernment.

Having said that, if the Government pledges to keep the Triple Lock on the State Pension, and if it uprates the same before the 2024 Election, that may help to keep on board the pensioner vote which is most of the hard core Conservative vote. Then it will be a question of whether any other groups will vote Con (if only negatively, i.e. to keep out Lab).

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12473521/Retired-social-worker-quizzed-hate-crime-police-sticker-Stand-Trans-poster.html

Police officers quizzed a pensioner in her home on suspicion of a hate crime after she stopped in the street to take a photo of a sticker which said: ‘Keep males out of women-only spaces.’

The sticker had been placed on to a LGBT+ pride poster which had the slogan Stand By Your Trans. Officers told the 73-year-old retired social worker that she had been identified from CCTV footage.

The woman told The Mail on Sunday she was ‘in a state of shock’ when officers arrived at her door. The incident happened in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire โ€“ the setting for BBC crime drama Happy Valley about no-nonsense policewoman Catherine Cawood. It comes after fury over police forces failing to send officers to investigate burglaries and other serious crimes.

West Yorkshire Police said it had recorded the matter as a ‘non-crime hate incident’, adding: ‘Words of advice were given regarding the placing of the sticker, as it was reported to have caused offence.

Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and founder of international group Genspect, said: ‘It’s not the job of the police to decide that taking a photo is a hate crime.‘”

[Daily Mail]

The UK’s toytown police once again caught enforcing the emergent “woke” police state.

Note the defiant attitude of the West Yorkshire police box-tickers when challenged, though. A bland refusal to engage.

The West Yorkshire Police seem to have missed the recent comments of both H.M. Inspector of Constabulary and those of the Home Secretary, to the effect that police should start to do their proper job, and stop acting like a poundland KGB (regular readers of the blog will be aware that I have had similar problems with the “plodosphere”…).

Strange. Having yesterday evening, on my birthday, finished the remains of a half-bottle of vintage Tokay, I was just recalling what happened to many of the secret police in Hungary during the Uprising of 1956 (the year of my own birth). It was not pleasant for them…

Interesting. However, London has probably never been so well-interconnected as it now is.

I notice that, had those 1940s plans been implemented, even the area north of Reigate (Surrey), where I —intermittently— lived in the late 1970s and early 1980s, would have been within 2-3 miles of the proposed Underground stations of Kingswood and Tadworth, which are now still only on the ordinary railway (Tattenham Corner line).

I am sure that it is mere co-incidence that “Boris” and Rachel Johnson, Stanley Johnson, and the rest, are part-Jew. It is just that “they” are so often around when societies and nations, and empires, and even whole civilizations, are destroyed, falling into decadence and collapse…

A few thoughts

Just saw on Sky News that no less than 872 migrant-invader bastards crossed the Channel in small boats yesterday (meaning, mostly, travelled a few miles in small or fairly small boats before being picked up and ferried to Dover by the Border “Farce” and/or RNLI).

So…872 useless and possibly dangerous parasites, likely criminals, possible terrorist sympathisers etc…

Those 872 bastards have to be (meaning, will be) sheltered, housed, clothed, fed, given pocket money in or by English towns and villages, provided with medical and dental services, provided with translators, interpreter, and legal services, at a cost of at least ยฃ200 per person per day. Minimum. Probably closer to ยฃ500 per person per day.

The “refugees welcome” dimwits are often the same people who complain that services, pay, benefits for (real) British people are being cut. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad

The pro-invasion dimwits cannot see, apparently, the connection between literally millions of invaders (both “legal” and “illegal”) over the past years and decades, and the shortages of housing, NHS services, and the rest. About 10 million migrant-invaders over 30 years (including births in the UK to —mostly non-white— migrants).

I believe that relatively few people can see the horror that awaits Britain only a few short decades down the line. Dystopia and civil war.

Frankly, that situation makes the UK more secure from nuclear attack, as things stand.

…and it turns out that the person most responsible for allowing it to happen was the snivelling little drunk and cocaine abuser (and expenses fraudster) Michael Gove, another Jewish-lobby puppet. It was a tweet about that little bastard which was one of merely five that resulted in my wrongful and unlawful disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews) in 2016.

As the above tweeter says, though, this does feel somehow symptomatic of the complacent negligence and “where will they go?” casual entitlement (and accompanying casual social brutality to the poor, sick, disabled, unemployed etc) which has characterized politics in this country since 2010.

There is no popular enthusiasm for, nor even any solid support for, the Labour Party under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, but in a basically binary system which excludes other parties, the voters are left with a stale choice. On that basis, this doomed Government is sliding to defeat, surely. What kind or magnitude of defeat, though, is still an open question.

Historical sidelight

In online open-source research into one or two characters, I discovered that there was a serious offer by Japan, sometime in 1944-45, and made to Swedish diplomats, for Japan to stop fighting, and to relinquish not only all territorial gains made since 1940, but even its (post-1931) rulership over parts of northeastern and eastern China: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widar_Bagge.

Had that offer been taken seriously by the UK and USA, it would not only have saved innumerable lives on all sides intra-theatre, but would have rendered the atomic bomb attacks on Japan in 1945 unnecessary.

I can only suppose that the Allied leadership wanted Japan to be crushed, and then remade in the Western image, as indeed it later was, as part of the post-1945 restructuring of the international order.

Regular readers of this blog will know that my view is that Russia must occupy everywhere east of the Dnieper, the city of Kiev (if agreement to have a condominium cannot be reached) and also, to a depth of perhaps 50 miles and including the city of Odessa, the Black Sea littoral. The rest of Western Ukraine can become a rump state based on Lvov.

Israeli food, some of it anyway, is quite healthy, and is one of the few aspects of their society which might be good to import to this country. Particularly good for health is some salad at breakfast, but it would be a hard task persuading most British people to adopt that.

Obviously, that Israeli breakfast is borrowed, much of it, from surrounding parts of the region; Lebanon and other Arab countries, but it is a pretty good mixture, anyway.

Perhaps so; we await more news.

Having said that, and acting as advocatus diaboli, let us suppose that the Kiev regime is speaking the truth for once. Let us suppose that the first line of defence (of, apparently, four) laid down by Russian forces has been breached. Let us suppose, further, that Kiev-regime forces can exploit that breach. Let us even suppose that they can breach all four defensive lines. What then?

The Kiev regime does not have the quantum of armour and infantry to breach all four defensive lines and then go on to take the major towns and cities of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Still less can the depleted Ukrainian Army go further, to invade the vast spaces of European Russia proper (which would anyway be a farcical repeat of the mistakes of both Napoleon and Hitler).

All that can happen, the most that can happen, is for the Ukrainian (Kiev-regime) forces to breach the defensive lines, then somehow hold on and bring up artillery with which to attack the civilian towns and cities in the Donetsk/Lugansk regions held by Russian forces (and now designated by them as part of Russia).

Russia has overwhelming air power, still mostly unused. Then there are its missiles. Soon winter will come to Ukraine, sometime in November, so within 2 months from now. Once the ground is hard, the Russian armour will come into its own.

I had thought that the much-trumpeted “Ukrainian counter-offensive” had already failed. It may be that, in one small southern sector of the overall front, that is not so, and that the Kiev-regime forces are still advancing slowly. Perhaps,; but for how long?

I think that, on the high-command level and above, the Russians are waiting to see what happens politically; in the USA, and in EU states as well. A change of US President may mean a change of attitude, and a change of policy.

If the 2024 US Presidential Election results in a President who continues the open-chequebook support for Zelensky and his cabal, Russia may take the gloves off, and destroy totally the rear areas from where the Ukrainian soldiers and their logistical support come. Kiev etc.

Incidentally, I saw analysis by Sean Bell, ex-RAF Air Vice Marshal, on Sky News. Very pro-Kiev regime, as far as I could judge (or he would probably not be on Sky News…). Cannot say that I much valued his presentation, but time will tell.

Scott Ritter: The only outcome of the war against Russia is the defeat of Ukraine. Kiev was offered a peace agreement a long time ago, but under the influence of its Western partners, it chose war. Now [its] fate is sealed, that is, it is time to surrender and accept reality, said former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter.”

Angela Rayner, of course, has never studied economics (even informally or —it seems—on the most basic level) and therefore, perhaps, should not be expected to understand that fast economic growth is more likely to stimulate inflation than to reduce it. The problem with our system of politics and government is that ignorant people such as Angela Rayner are selected as MPs, notionally “elected”, then spout stupid nonsense, but many potential voters then probably accept that nonsense as “good sense”…

Typical unthinking Brit voter/tweeter wants BBC Radio 4 Today to interview Government ministers who refuse to come onto the show. How would that work?

As I said on yesterday’s blog, an outright embezzler and fraudster. Every bit as bad as “Jack Monroe”.

Twitter polls are worth little, of course, but at least this one has received nearly 11,000 votes. 89.7% think that Russia will win the war, or that there will be no “winner” as such.

Time to take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Our poor and struggling people in Europe, as well as those of the USA, need the money far more.

Hard to believe? Would you have believed it in, say, 2019, if someone had said that, within a year or two, the UK Government would have locked almost the entire population in their homes on pain of arrest and a heavy fine, or would have had anyone going for a ride on a bike, or for a drive, or camping on a deserted Welsh hillside, or sitting alone on a beach, or on a park bench, arrested?

Or that the police would relish their new role as poundland KGB militia, “checking” and “monitoring” the purchases shoppers made at supermarkets to decide whether they were “necessary”? Or harassing, by loudspeakers mounted on aerial drones, elderly couples walking on the hills of the Peak District, instructing them to go home?

Or almost closing down the NHS for real patients with real and serious medical conditions, while pretending to “protect” the UK population from a virus that killed almost no-one who even had it?

Oh, or that new (fake) “Nightingale hospitals” would be set up (to look impressive), but then that few would even be used at all, and that the new “hospitals” would just be dismantled like so much stage scenery (which is what they were) after the play is ended?

Would you have believed, back in 2019, if someone had said that by 2020 or 2021 the Government would unlawfully pass “laws” on the nod, laws and regulations that would force people to line up six feet apart to go into supermarkets (though, ludicrously, not in practice inside the same shops), or that the part-Jew clown posing as Prime Minister would lay down “regulations” making people wear useless cloth facemasks all over the place, and also mandating that no-one should have more than 6 non-resident people in a house at any one time? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? No, just Britain in the years 2020-2022.

A majority of the UK population actually went along with most of that nonsense, partly by reason of a huge barrage of fear-propaganda, partly because the Government sprayed money at people— “furlough” payments, “loans” (grants), and temporary stoppage of the usual stupid DWP harassment of the unemployed, sick, and disabled. In short, the people were bought off, bribed not to protest. “Working from home” was part of that.

Now? The genie is out of the bottle. We see the prospect of ULEZ zones, and “15-minute-cities” that might become, over time, ghettoes or “very open” prisons.

Cars? Well, first they came for the diesel cars and SUVs, then for petrol-driven vehicles, then they made everyone drive electric cars, then those who could not afford ยฃ50,000 for a new electric car or ยฃ20,000 for a used one were forbidden, in effect, from driving. It’s already planned.

What about microchips under the skin? Not yet in place…being talked about, though.

What about people unable to use cash, only cards or, in time, only microchip “cards” under the skin? What if you have the “wrong” views on politics or society? Then your “banking services” will be withdrawn (as has already happened to Nigel Farage, Laura Towler, Mark Collett etc), and you will be, in the future, marginalized or even starved.

Some of the above is still not in place, but for how long?

A good example of the sort of useless non-European parasite promoted by the msm. Again, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

At last some sense on TV…

The absurdity of the UK in 2023 is that you still have large numbers of Twitter-twits and other virtue-signallers desperately bleating about the terrible state of the NHS, schools, roads, rail, pay, State benefits, housing etc, yet at the very same time wanting the country flooded with even more non-white migrant-invaders. They see no connection at all between the lack of services, low pay, lack of affordable housing, and the increase in UK population from about 56 million in the 1970s to about 70 million in 2023.

[Four million?! If only…think fourteen million, or more]

All of that increase has come from mass immigration and births to non-whites. The real English/British population is not increasing; the birth rate is below replacement level, in fact.

The “Jack Monroe” “sock-account”, “Namaste123”, featured in yesterday’s blog, has now gone, deleted by “Jack Monroe” herself.

It becomes pretty clear that the fraudster’s sins have pretty much caught up with her; she has been shot down, and is crashing in flames. All the same, and as of today, 383 utter mugs still send her money every month via Patreon, so she can hardly complain. Maybe ยฃ2,000, maybe ยฃ4,000 (maybe more) per month. In cash. For doing precisely nothing.

It is incredible how many on Twitter (very unrepresentative of the British people, of course) see “grifters” and know-nothings such as “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson, “Supertanskiii”, “Femi” etc as somehow worth supporting (both with words and donations of cash).

If those thousands of naive mugs were typical of the British people, I should despair, but in reality the Twit-universe is a tiny parallel universe. For every pseudo-socialist tweeter supporting the above-named “grifters”, there are perhaps thousands, certainly hundreds of people with very different views (eg about the necessity to stop and reverse the migration-invasion).

Late tweets

People working for money which is only able to purchase items of which the government approves…even Stalin did not go quite that far, not in the same way at least.

Late music
