Both the Bar and the solicitors’ profession run scared of the Jew-Zionists these days. The Bar of England and Wales was once full of barristers of courage and principle. No more. Barristers are now almost all pathetic people. The Bar is now also, of course, riddled with the Jewish element.
“They” have killed the Bar as something worthwhile, just as they have killed off so much else in the UK and elsewhere.
There were lots of high profile people supporting the defendants until they lost. Then silence.
When Lewis was censured and fined by a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 for abusing people online, including some Jews (he then fled, or pretended to flee, to Israel), his own (unpaid) Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis should not be fined too much because his sole assets were his own clothes, a used mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. The Tribunal reduced his fine accordingly (other Jews paid it).
Lewis is a total fake, a fraudster really, yet fanatical pro-Israel Jews are still to be seen on Twitter/X puffing his entirely invented reputation.
What troubles me is that I would have lost the litigation if Beth Grossman of Doughty Street, Daniel Berke of 3D Solicitors, and Mark Lewis of Patron Law had successfully misled the judge about the scale/extent of publication of the defamatory words.@BKGrossman@MLewisLawyerhttps://t.co/HIP6Zvu6m8pic.twitter.com/m5YlJcJKVl
Lewis’ point about extent of publication is particularly bad because he’d known for months about the true extent of publication in evidence he had failed to disclose to the court and me.
Mr Zivancevic is, of course, famous for being fined for paying client money into his own bank account. And therefore demonstrating a lack of integrity.
“Mark Lewis Lawyer” is both incompetent and totally dishonest (and now both mentally and physically incapable).
I should wager that now-washed-up one-time radio presenter and Z-list “celebrity”, Caroline Feraday, is thanking her lucky stars all the same that she dumped and divorced Lewis (the marriage lasted a year, back in or about 2013). Anyway, I believe that Lewis psychologically and physically abused her, so I expect she is glad to have got shot of the bastard after a short while.
Here is my response to Emma Harrison and David Gooding at Mills & Reeve.
I’ve dealt with some crackpot solicitors in my time, but Patron Law are special.
Patron Law— just another pack of dishonest Jews. As to those named solicitors from the Mills and Reeve firm, I do not know, and have never heard of them.
Some might say that the reason why Patron Law is avoiding disclosing their client’s file to me is because they know it will reveal the gory details of Lewis’ conduct.
If Patron Law were trying to protect Lewis, avoiding disclosing the file makes complete sense.
I suspect Daniel Berke trusted Mark Lewis’ competence and analysis in my case. TBF, he was not the only one.
My contempt for Berke is that it seems he will not stand up and say to Lewis/Patron Law: “This is awful. We must compensate our clients for what we did”. @3Dsolicitors

Farage’s statements are not “lies“, just a pro-Brit point of view instead of the anti-white anti-British points of view put forward by such as O’Brien on, in this case, the (Jewish-owned) LBC radio propaganda platform.
I don’t care if “only” 4% or 5% are “illegal” immigrants. That is still 500-1,500 per day.
Turn it around. What it means is that, bad as the “illegal” migration-invasion is, the real picture is 20x or 25x worse!
That utter traitor loudmouth, O’Brien, thinks it “hilarious” that this country is being flooded with immigrants, straining everything from water resources to housing resources to police resources. It has to stop. Facilitators and propagandists such as O’Brien also have to be stopped.

Starmer-stein and the Labour (Friends of Israel) misgovernment
So Starmer, with a potentially disastrous by-election (Runcorn and Helsby, 1 May 2025) coming down the track, is suddenly making meaningless “tough” noises about immigration gangs etc.
One thing is sure: the migration-invasion will not be stopped by such measures, even if implemented.
As far as Starmer is concerned, both as “world leader” or “statesman” (in his own little mind), he has, so far, managed to alienate both Russia and the USA, as well as 90% or more of the British people.

Macron is widely despised. This judicial outrage is nakedly political, and has the aim of preventing Marine le Pen from standing as a (probably successful) Presidential candidate in 2027, and is aimed, beyond that, at keeping France under NWO/ZOG control.
The French people have overthrown tyrants in the past. Perhaps the time has come for a new French Revolution.
Remove Macron. He does not represent France but only NWO/ZOG.
Incidentally, I assessed Macron on the blog six years ago:
You are gaslighting the British people. Most of these are returning voluntarily while you’re approving most asylum claims from illegal migrants in Britain, encouraging more to come, which is why the small boats this year are up 40% on last year. You’re not securing anything. https://t.co/ghw7o2YaZb

“Study the polls and see why Farage and Reform genuinely have a chance to govern.
Public put the Reform leader top in ‘best PM’ poll
Nothing is sticking. New polling for The Telegraph by Ipsos reveals that when asked who would do a “good job as prime minister”, Farage comes out on top on 28 per cent. Keir Starmer is one per cent behind, and Ed Davey two per cent. Badenoch is languishing at 18 per cent, her step-by-step approach to formulating a new set of Tory policies failing to register with voters who are still not listening to the “natural party of government”.
I went through the Ipsos numbers with Ben Butcher, our data editor, who identified just why Labour and the Conservatives should be worried.
“Labour is widely seen to be the party of the elite, with Reform trouncing Starmer with the C2DE and lower-paid respondents,” Butcher told me. The “red wall” is there for Reform’s taking, with the party polling well ahead of Labour amongst non-graduates.
“Ain’t nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos,” said the American politician, Jim Hightower. As Davey attacks from the soft centre, Reform outflanks the Tories from the other side. The Conservative leader is on a perilous downslope, her skis pulling in different directions. Farage beats Badenoch with older voters, the working-class and lower paid people on the question of who would do a good job as Prime Minister.
“Let’s fix broken Britain,” Farage told 10,000 people in Birmingham. “I’m not mucking about.” The old parties that once commanded the comfortable heights of majority support are very clear that he is not.“

Well, for once, political journalist John Rentoul beat me this week, scoring 7/10. I managed only 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 6, and 7.
Iain Dale was on radio yesterday asking why teachers are leaving the profession in droves & instead of focusing on the main issue of pay, he chose to focus on student behaviour & said 30k is an ok salary… I shook my head & laughed, country full of imbeciles https://t.co/dhNI6mTLon
Well, there it is. Pro-Israel, pro-Jewish Lobby mouthpiece Iain Dale, whose income is in the hundreds of thousands, telling others that £30,000 gross per year is OK…typical hypocrisy.
Runcorn and Helsby, constituency voting intention:
Reform lead of 9 points in Runcorn ought to be 3 pts – it doesn't matter: the direction of traffic between now and polling day is one way https://t.co/DlPLJ2Lo5K
Rentoul obviously thinks that Reform will win the by-election. I should say the same. After all, look at the disaster that is the Starmer-stein government of cretins. “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, thick and uneducated Angela Rayner, would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, idiotic moneygrubber Liz Kendall, thick Pakistani Shabana Mahmood and, to top it all off, thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy! (see below)
Putin and Lavrov must laugh their heads off at that idiot (and the rest). Worse even than “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss etc.
In fact, the surprise in the by-election opinion polling is that almost a third of people in that constituency still intend to vote “Labour” (Labour-label), even though there is nothing, in the present government, of real Labour at all. Just look at what they have done in the past 7+ months, and what they are planning to do. Even 2010-2024 “Conservative” governments were no worse.
I think that I may stick out my neck and predict that the by-election result will probably be 40%-45% Reform, 25%-30% Labour, 10% Conservative, 5% Green, 5% LibDem. Something like that.
True, a date has yet to be set for the by-election, and the mood may change a little, but not in essence (I think).
The Reform candidate will be under intense scrutiny; the System parties will be doing everything they can to discredit that candidate, and dig up damaging material about him (or her, though I would expect the candidate to be a man, in all likelihood). He (or she) had better be squeaky-clean.
It occurs to me that Reform may select Matt Goodwin. It would be a triumphant entry into direct front-line politics for him, and I note how Reform-loyalist his tweets now are.
I may be wrong, but I should not be surprised to see Matt Goodwin emerge, eventually, as leader of Reform. If he can win a Commons seat between now and the next UK General Election, that might see Goodwin actually become Prime Minister. Stranger things have happened.
As a matter of fact, the shorter the time between selection of a Reform candidate and polling day the better, thus giving Labour backroom spinners less time in which to dig up or contrive anything discreditable…
“Lynne Bennett, 70, voted Labour in July, but this time, she said she would vote Reform, adding: “A lot of our family is going to do the same.”

Any former Con voters still thinking of voting Con at the by-election would have to be utterly brainless. The Con candidate has no chance, will probably come only fourth, and may well lose the deposit (i.e. score under 5%). The only way for a Con voter to hit Labour at the by-election is to vote Reform.

The fallout from Lewis’s negligent and dishonest handling of the defence case in the matter of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor continues.
Mark Lewis is just incredible.
What Lewis said: – analytics will be provided as soon as received – his client has nothing to hide
Reality: – Lewis received analytics 6 months before this email – he hid those analytics from the judge and me
That photo, like others recently posted, is a decade or more out of date. Lewis, now an Israeli citizen supposedly resident in Eilat, Israel, is a shambling wreck in 2025, both physically and mentally.

Readers wishing further detail should use the blog search box: “Mark Lewis”, James Wilson” etc.
Lewis, reprimanded and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 for his malicious and nasty social media activities, fled to Israel, but maintains a legal foothold in England by reason of his nominal partnership in the small and mainly Jewish law firm known as Patron Law, based in a mews side-street in Notting Hill, West London.
As to one of Lewis’s two now-dissolved marriages, to one-time minor British radio and TV newsreader, Caroline Feraday, that fell apart after a year, in or about 2013 . She initially joined in his Twitter abuse of me, but now (having been financially and physically abused etc by Lewis), is washed-up, “fat and fifty”, and a single mother (Lewis was not the father), living in a small house in a “Nowheresville” Californian scrubland suburb, and working for a local radio station out there. #TenGreenBottles…
Incidentally, Caroline Feraday’s Wikipedia entry (heavily edited by herself) has more holes than a Swiss cheese (and Lewis is not even mentioned in it…).
As James Wilson notes, Lewis should have been struck off the solicitors’ roll years ago. That would only happen, though, if someone such as Wilson were to make an official complaint…
“Celebrity lawyer” whose only assets in 2018 were, according to his own defence Counsel at the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal, his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a £70 a week private pension. Even his car was being provided for him via the DWP Motability scheme (funded by all those “antisemitic” British taxpayers).
Actually, he did, it seems, also own a flat in Israel at the time, but he seems to have concealed that fact from the Tribunal and, presumably, also from his own Counsel. Dishonest. Unfit.
What worries me is that if Mark Lewis knowingly tried to mislead the court in my case, what about other cases?
Has Lewis won other cases by basically cheating for his clients?
Unless Wilson complains to the SRA, that is not going to happen. Perhaps, though, he will make formal complaint.

That lady, the ex-wife of an ex-MP (Con), seems to have forgotten the terrible cruelty of the David Cameron-Levita/George Osborne years, 2010-2015, when nasty little jumped-up types such as part-Japanese Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, and the part-Jew “Lord” David Freud, caused such misery, pain, and death to the unemployed, sick, and disabled.
Starmer-stein “Labour”, though, seems to be diving even deeper into the abyss than did the “Conservatives” from 2010-2024 and especially 2010-2015.
The Conservative Party, now “led” (astray?) by a Nigerian woman chancer, is destined to disappear, I think. It now seems to have no natural constituency among the public (even the elderly are abandoning it), and its place in the political matrix seems to be based mainly on the fact that it has been there for nearly 200 years. No obvious “offer” to the people or, in particular, the voters.
Mass deportations should be the default position of any self-respecting country.
Aiming to remove all illegal migrants from our country is in no way controversial. And actually, a large majority of Brits agree with me.
I would go much further than that. For one thing, illegal migrant-invaders are only about a twentieth of the current migration invasion, perhaps less. Also, there are, shall I say, other groups that should not exist in the UK.
If it had been, say, a White English woman who posted satirical parody songs on her own website…@SpeechUnion's selective defence / condemnation and ensuing promotion of these, imo, more trivial cases is a sad reflection of what passes for 'conservatism' in today's Britain.
The Toby Young fake “Free Speech Union” grift-org was penetrated and permeated by the (((you-know-who))) element right from the start. It never said a word in support of a woman who posted amusing satirical songs, mainly about Jews (Alison Chabloz, imprisoned for the same), or in support of a man who gave a speech in Whitehall (Jez Turner, imprisoned for that), or a man who distributed stickers which even the Prosecution at his trial conceded were “not unlawful” (Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative, imprisoned for that), or a man who ran an Internet “radio” podcast show (Sven Longshanks/James Allchurch, imprisoned for that), or a man who was disbarred for having tweeted 5 tweets, all absolutely true in their content (that was me), or a man convicted of having posted 5 supposedly partly “grossly offensive” blog posts, out of about two thousand (me, again— fined over £700 and forced to attend half a dozen or so pointless meetings with a Probation Service person, though she was very polite and rather charming, so be it).
How about making it a “priority”, and indeed a given, to have only real British people in Parliament?

Well, Shabana Mahmood, obviously, is not really British in the full sense, though born in the UK. Pakistani parents, and she lived until age 6 in Taif, Saudi Arabia.
Even leaving that aside, the qualifications of Shabana Mahmood to be mock-“Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice are ludicrously lightweight, even for contemporary Britain: a Bar pupillage (traineeship) for 12 months, then a year as a low-paid “gopher” at a firm of solicitors. I do not think that she was even working as a lawyer of any sort between then (2008) and when she was elected as MP in 2010. So, at best, two years, and as the most junior of lawyers…

Looks nice. Pretty sure that that hotel did not exist when I lived in the “tri-state region” (1989-1993, on and off). My first wife told me that, as a girl of about 10, which would have been in the mid-1970s, she used to ride her bicycle across to Roosevelt Island. Not sure that I would have allowed my daughter of 10 (if I had one) to do that. Roosevelt Island was fairly derelict then, as far as I know.
On the other hand, my own parents used to let me travel into Sydney from where we lived (Mosman/Cremorne) from age 10 or 11 (1967 and the succeeding 2 years) and, when I was aged 12/13, were letting me travel alone by Greyhound bus to Miami, and also walk alone around Acapulco and other places. Perhaps parents and other people now are less secure, more frightened (like society generally).

Watched a recent TV drama or thriller called The Au Pair the other day. Set mainly in the Cotswolds, though filmed in Ireland, it was quite good, and had an interesting twist in the plot near the end of the four 1-hour episodes, but —irritatingly— the makers felt the need to shoehorn some West Indians into the story (set in one of the least “diverse” parts of England!); the garden party scene was even more absurd (and even less credible). This country is just so ****** now. Made so, actually, by ill-intentioned individuals and groups.
