Former Pentagon Analyst: Ukraine Simply Cannot Win, and F-16s Will Be Destroyed on the Ground

Ukraine and its Western partners have no military strategy in the conflict with Russia, former Pentagon analyst Karen Kwiatkowski notes on Judging Freedom.

According to her, Ukraine is fundamentally incapable of winning — and no F-16s will change that: they will be hit not even in the sky, but at their parking spots.

Ash Sarkar is put forward as the articulate voice of the (in her case, second-generation) non-European living in the UK. The fact is that, even taking her at face value, she is an example of maybe one out of every hundred if not thousand.

“Out there” on the streets, Britain is becoming a multikulti dustbin, full of those who are not British in any real sense, and not a few who are little more than semi-savages.

Not someone in whom I take a great interest, and I only knew of her existence from a relatively few years ago, as far as I can recall. However, she (meaning her life) seems to me to personify certain aspects of what is wrong with this country.

The odd life and downward progress of Katie Price also somewhat reminds me of a far more literate, though I think not very nice person, Jeffrey Bernard, who was once described as “having made a career from writing about dying from cirrhosis“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Bernard.

Bernard’s Spectator column could be, sometimes, brilliantly funny. More often, it was simply absent, with what became the standard apologia, “Jeffrey Bernard is unwell“, below a substituted piece by someone else.

Incidentally, I once had a copy of the book about him, Just the One (referring to his habit of saying —usually inaccurately— that he had popped into a pub for one drink only). Really funny, though sad too in places.

It becomes ever more obvious that nothing much works properly in the UK, from the prison service to the NHS to the legal system to…well, you name it.

That photo of “two-tier Keir” and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner must never be forgotten.

Conservative Home’s poll, though, is only persuasive in effect, because Conservative Party MPs, not Party members, will choose the two final leadership candidates to be put before the whole membership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Conservative_Party_leadership_election#Timetable.

While the most recent semi-official membership figure is around 172,000 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)#Membership], it seems likely that the real figure is maybe 100,000, if that.

Good grief. That is, apparently, “a senior police officer“…

Britain in 2024…

Look at recent Sky News and BBC News coverage. Almost like TV news in the old Soviet Union or DDR (East Germany).

“Shadows on the wall of the cave”…

As in Stalin’s Soviet Union— people arrested who are genuinely puzzled as to why, saying “why am I here?“, or “I haven’t done anything“, or “what have I done?

Two-tier Keir’s emerging police state.

That little Director of Public Prosecutions bastard is a typical police-state drone bureaucrat.

What happens, and what has happened in history, when every form of peaceful socio-political protest, criticism, or even analysis, is shut down? As people say, “answers on a postcard…”

Incidentally, many will know of that Basu bastard (now only a former policeman), who is sometimes quoted on TV or in the lying Press as an “expert” on “extremism”, “terrorism” etc, and who, risibly, was apparently the UK’s chief of (police) counter-intelligence. He is often spouting nonsense about how almost everything “far right” etc must be repressed. Another supporter of the upcoming (unless stopped) multikulti “woke” police state.

See also my piece from about 6 years ago about the tendency to a police state in the UK, that even then was coming out into the open:

Quite. Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Of the 12 that did, 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green.

The regime of “two-tier Keir” has no legitimacy, no mandate. If the courts and general legal and justice system are not exercizing their proper independence, but are simply obeying the purported diktats of “two-tier Keir” and that bureaucrat-drone who seems to be the new Director of Public Prosecutions, then the courts themselves have no legitimacy.

Britain is now travelling rather quickly down the path of becoming a multikulti “woke” police state— a tyranny.

Were I to argue that Wes Streeting (or Starmer, or Yvette Cooper, or other Labour Friends of Israel puppets) should be pushed in front of a train, the police would be (boringly) yet again at my door, no doubt, but once again it is that “two tier” policing…

“Two-tier Keir” Starmer is certainly confirming my view of him prior to the recent General Election, ie that he is akin to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov in his memoirs, “a file clerk type; people like that are dangerous if given power.

I had to look up “Lauren” Edwards. Apparently a “trans” person, though Wikipedia does not mention it. Australian.

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

MP for Rochester and Strood.

Apparently, “she” also referred to some people as “Estonian retards“. It’s OK, though, because they were not black or brown… #TwoTierKeir.

“Former Israeli Military Intelligence Chief: We Are In A War Of Attrition

Amos Yadlin, the former head of the Israeli regime’s military intelligence directorate, said that Israel will find itself embroiled in a long war of attrition, Israel will continue to have its ruined economy, and our standing in the world will fall to a lower level.

According to the malicious Jewish-Zionist organization, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which (as I said during my free speech trial last November) is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, somewhere around 94% of the Jews in the UK consider themselves Zionists, and the vast majority of them support the Israeli attacks on Gaza. Thus says the “CAA” itself.

I can’t stomach these MPs gloating about incredibly young men being locked” up for years

These are lads who feel utterly powerless and disenfranchised, raised in a system that’s taught them they have nothing and can never accumulate anything.

During the Black Lives Matter protests, left-wing commentators argued that protest, vandalism, and even violence were necessary to highlight injustice. I disagreed then, and I do now, but where are those voices today?

There IS an obvious injustice: the British working class has been maligned, slandered, ignored, fobbed off, and lied to for a generation. They can’t buy a house, their kids are in overcrowded classrooms, and they watch as illegal migrants get private accommodation for free. How is that not something to be angry about?

Our political class prioritizes everyone else’s interests over theirs. These politicians are clueless about the real struggles these young men face.

Abandoned, left to fend for themselves, and when they finally lash out, we throw away the key. It’s disgraceful. Instead of addressing the root causes of their anger, they fan the flames, and believe me, they’re not alone in their fury.

Well worth reposting, even 5+ years on.

Giles Anthony Fraser (born 27 November 1964)[3] is an English Anglican priest, journalist and broadcaster who has served as Vicar of St Anne’s Church, Kew, since 2022.[4] He is a regular contributor to Thought for the Day and The Guardian and a panellist on The Moral Maze, as well as an assistant editor of UnHerd.

Fraser was born to a Jewish father and a Christian mother and was circumcised according to Jewish tradition.[5]

Fraser…has lectured on moral leadership for the British Army at the Defence Academy at Shrivenham.

On 16 January 2016, Fraser announced his engagement to Lynn Tandler, an Israeli Jew,[23] who is a weaver and academic researcher.[24] They were married on 13 February 2016.[2][non-primary source needed] Their son was born in November of the same year.[25]

[Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_Fraser.

Both my Jewish children have been circumcised. They are being brought up in a bilingual family – where Hebrew is spoken at home, despite my struggling with it. My two year old chats with his grandmother on the phone most days in broken Hebrew. Both are being regularly taken to Israel. The Rabbi of the schul in Golders Green – where my father’s family (all Jewish) were seat-holders – has been extremely welcoming...”

DNA is ingrained. People can change their views, but not their DNA.

The modern “bread and circuses”.

I recall seeing the Australian TV series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo a few times after my family moved to Sydney in 1967 (I was 10 at the time). The show was on TV from early 1968.

TV shows and films such as Skippy may seem like sentimental rubbish to some people, and to some extent they may be, but there are innumerable examples of the intelligence and capabilities of our animal friends. Some such stories become famous, others are either unknown or are known only to the few people directly involved.

Something of the sort will eventually have to come to the UK.

Interesting. I have been to Famagusta (now in Turkish-ruled Northern Cyprus), but some years ago, in fact many years ago— January 2000. I did not see the ruins of the Varosha resort, though. That is a mile south of the main town, I think.

When I drove to Famagusta (from Kyrenia), the ruins of its ancient heritage were deserted. My then girlfriend and I were alone there. There were not even any people selling postcards or the like. Even the more modern parts of the town were far from busy. That was 24 years ago, though. Things change, of course. I think that there has been quite a lot of development in some areas.

I rather liked Northern Cyprus. Relaxed and, in 2000 at least, with relatively few tourists, and really none once you left Kyrenia (officially, now, Girne). A little cold at night (in January) but warm-ish during the day, usually, and with numerous interesting ancient sites (which one shared with no other people at all) set amid orange groves. I even had a rather bracing swim off a deserted beach, but it was no colder in the water than it is in the UK in summer, and the sun was shining.

I drove one day from Kyrenia right the way down the Karpas Peninsula [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpas_Peninsula] to the eastern end. At that point, you are only 60 miles across the Eastern Mediterranean from Latakia in Syria.

General Election 2024— Clacton

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/tories-clacton-voters-nigel-farage-reform

In a straw poll of veterans, Farage’s campaign message seemed to be getting through.

Jason Stewart was in a green beret and a biker jacket studded with medals; after a long career in the Royal Marines, he “thought it was time to get out after I was blown up twice in one day in Afghanistan”.

He offers a version of an argument heard all day. “The two main parties look both the same to me,” he says. “The Tories don’t care about us. And Labour say they will reopen prosecutions of soldiers who served [in the Troubles] so that’s a no-no. Farage and Reform seem like the only option.”

Up the road, meanwhile, opposite McDonald’s, there was an alternative display of army jeeps and vehicles alongside veterans in fatigues. The display was organised by David Bye and his partner, Linda Hazelton, who run a charity delivering homemade pie and mash to needy veterans around the town. Bye had a one-to-one chat with Farage when he visited and claims he was given certain commitments, which will remain between them.

He grew up here; he remembers earning pocket money as a kid running tourist luggage down busy streets to Butlin’s. It’s been a long decline, he says, since the holiday camp went. “I thought I’d seen it all,” he says. “But the other morning I saw a long queue of blokes on bikes waiting for McDonald’s to open. They were collecting takeaways for people who couldn’t be bothered to make breakfast for their kids.

“I don’t know where you start with some of that,” he suggests. “But I think Nigel gets it.

The place holds symbolic relevance to Farage. Exactly a decade ago, under his Ukip brand, a meeting here paved the way for that party’s only Westminster election success, for Douglas Carswell. If you were to define the moment that Brexit became a possibility, and then a reality, you might begin there. Nine hundred people showed up, many of whom had not previously taken any interest in national politics. In the course of their populist pitch, Carswell and Farage quoted liberally from a Times newspaper column the previous week written by Matthew Parris.

Looking back at that column a decade on, you can see in it all the faultlines that were exposed and exploited so cynically by Farage and Brexit, the roots of the crisis that threatens to destroy the Conservative party in this election (a humiliation from which Farage, inevitably, hopes to benefit).

Parris, in his waspish style, on a visit to Clacton in 2014, had declared its irrelevance to modern Conservatism: “This is tracksuit-and-trainers Britain, tattoo-parlour Britain, all-our-yesterdays Britain,” he wrote. He asked his party a question which would now get a very different answer: “Is this where the Conservative party wants to be? [Or] do we need to be with the Britain that can admire immigrants and want them with us, that doesn’t want to spend its days buying scratchcards?

Parris insisted that he was not “arguing that we should be careless of the needs of struggling people and places such as Clacton. But I am arguing – if I am honest – that we should be careless of their opinions.

Farage could not have scripted a better scene for himself than the spectacle of a Tory prime minister leaving the D-day celebrations early. Tragically, as this week is proving, the forces that made his bleak and divisive message relevant in 2014 have not gone away, and in the weeks to come you suspect that Westminster political parties will still ignore Clacton at their peril.”

[The Guardian].

Not once does the full article mention the fact that the person presently posing as PM is “unelected” (at least, unvalidated by a General Election) and a little Indian money-juggler; but there you are…”The Guardian”…

Interesting, though, all the same. I think that Farage has every chance of being elected at Clacton. The only reason that the Conservative Party candidate Giles Watling (MP since 2017, a long-retired actor, and a member of the Garrick Club, who lives at Frinton, the more expensive part of the constituency) got over 70% of the vote in 2019 is because his political stance is akin to that of UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK anyway.

Watling came second, behind ex-Conservative Douglas Carswell (for UKIP) both at the 2014 by-election and the 2015 General Election, and only won in 2017 because Carswell stood down. Having said that, Watling did get 36.7% in 2015, only about 8 points behind Carswell.

While the election at Clacton might yet be close, Farage has every chance now. Labour and other parties are spectators at Clacton. Labour’s best was 25.4% (in 2017, when the Cons got over 60%).

Interestingly, that 2017 Labour candidate, Natasha Osben, is now, in 2024, the Green Party candidate. Starmer is really not very popular even within the Labour —or recently Labour— ranks.

Will Labour voters vote tactically? If so, for Reform UK or for the Conservative Party? My money is on Reform UK.

Tactical voting

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/i-want-labour-to-come-into-power-so-im-voting-lib-dem-tactical-voting-threatens-blue-wall-tories

Alarmingly for Conservative HQ, many polling experts believe the conditions are ripe for a repeat of 1997, when tactical voting benefited Labour and the Lib Dems and cost the Tories dozens of seats, most notably the toppling of Michael Portillo in Enfield Southgate. This time, Shapps is among the big beasts who could suffer their own polling night infamy.

Tactical efforts came to little at the last election. Hopes among pro-Remain campaigners of an anti-Brexit tactical vote were dashed as Boris Johnson won an 80-strong majority. But conditions have changed. Peter Kellner, the veteran pollster, wrote in the Observer before the 1997 election that while he detected little “positive enthusiasm” for Labour, an electorate with “a burning desire to end 18 years of Tory rule” made for receptive tactical voting conditions. He believes similar ingredients are present today.

While the net effects of tactical voting are hard to calculate, the Liberal Democrats could gain 10-20 extra seats through anti-Conservative tactical voting, according to an analysis by the Electoral Calculus consultancy. Meanwhile, with the added help of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the tactical dynamic could push Labour closer in another swathe of previously safe Tory seats.

Conservative losses

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/from-humiliation-to-annihilation-could-this-election-mean-the-end-of-the-tory-party-as-we-know-it

Writing in the Observer, Rob Ford, a leading expert on voting intention and trends, says the evidence from polls shows that “an electoral asteroid is streaking through the atmosphere” and is heading for the Tory heartlands. Ford no longer thinks it impossible that the Conservatives could end up with less than 100 seats, so badly is their campaign misfiring and so much trust have they lost over 14 years and the tenures of five prime ministers.

Other polling experts say that such is the geographical spread of the Tory vote, and the brutal nature of the first past the post system, that once their vote drops into the low 20% region, the number of seats could fall into double digits – and could go as low as 20.

[Observer/Guardian]

I have speculated for quite a while that the Con vote might go low enough nationwide to leave the Cons with as few as 50 MPs. Perhaps I was right (I sometimes am…).

Quite right.

Entitled self-seeking political hog Emily Thornberry, who only became “Labour” in the first place after her highly-paid UN-working father deserted her and her mother, abandoning his wife and daughter, and resulting in their having to relocate to a council house. She is motivated by malice and early spite and/or envy.

Emily Thornberry and her husband (a retired High Court judge) are buy-to-let parasites, incidentally; I believe that I read that they own, or used to own, at least 8 buy-to-let properties. Pro-Israel, too.

[Emily Thornberry and husband with the then Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev, at a Zionist banquet in London]

The Conservative Party now deserves to be not only removed from government, and preferably entirely wiped out, but do not imagine that fake “Labour” will be much if at all better. Look at its leaders and major influencers: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall. All members of Labour Friends of Israel. All self-seeking moneygrubbers too.

David Lammy, that ignorant creature, as well.

That thick creature might be Foreign Secretary soon. Poor Britain…

Another Labour Friends of Israel member.

Emily Thornberry slightly reminds me of Mrs Mossberg, a fat, short and jolly Jewish primary school teacher, usually —in my memory— dressed in a long dark-brown mink coat; I knew her circa 1962, when about 5 or 6 years old and a pupil at Caversham Primary School near Reading. Mrs Mossberg, though, was far more pleasant than Emily Thornberry seems to be.

In retrospect, I wonder why Mrs Mossberg ever bothered to be a teacher, which I doubt paid much. She lived not far from my family, a few roads away, in a large detached house. The main reception room, which I saw at least once, seemed enormous to the 5-y-o me, and it had a large grand piano in it. Maybe she just enjoyed teaching.

The last tweeter says that Emily Thornberry owns 4 properties; I thought I read 8 somewhere.

Elite“, though, seems the wrong word to describe that bunch of clowns.

Reminiscent of the last recruits of the Volkssturm in 1945…

From what little one hears or reads, some of the chiefs or former chiefs of Israeli Intelligence (MOSSAD, Shin Beth, Aman etc) are also not optimistic about Israel’s long-term or even medium-term survival.

If that turns out to be correct on 4 July 2024, I will have been proven correct, and the “experts” and “specialists” (who have been saying 100-200 Con MPs left post-GE 2024) would be wrong (again)…

Also true, arguably. About the same, I should say.

The first tweet confirms what I have been blogging re. Clacton. It is between Reform UK (Farage) and the Cons (Giles Watling). Labour has no chance at all, but Labour voters in Clacton can be the kingmakers. Their votes can swing it, either for Reform or for the Cons.

Even if the second tweet is accurate, and it may not be, voters can still give the Cons a mighty and historic kick by voting Reform UK and thus preventing the Conservative Party from thriving, or even surviving.

The very fact that such a grassroots campaign is even necessary shows how sick society has become.

Refers to Robert Largan, the Israel-puppet and Jewish-lobby puppet who is desperately trying to keep his Commons seat at High Peak (Derbyshire), with its good pay and better expenses and perks, but he really has no chance. Make him get a real job.

High Peak voters should vote either Reform UK or Labour to get rid of Largan.

…and if you cannot believe what (supposedly; they say; they claim) happened only last year, then how can you believe “them” when they claim that this, that, or the other happened in 1942, 1943, or 1944?

The IDF captured the Rafah checkpoint on the border of the Gaza Strip and Egypt –

Israeli flags were raised there … The Rafah crossing was the only land corridor for people to enter and leave the Gaza Strip without going through Israel.

Let us remember that the capture of Rafah by the IDF is precisely the “absolutely red” line that all Middle Eastern players have drawn – from Iran and Qatar to Jordan and Saudi Arabia.”

Well, let’s see if the Arab and other Muslim states take any action against Israel. Frankly, I doubt their resolve.

Marine Le Pen on Macron’s decision to send soldiers to Ukraine:

“War is the worst thing that can happen to a people and a country, and I am amazed at the ease with which Emmanuel Macron talks about it. When, with a glass of whiskey in hand, while talking to a singer at three o’clock in the morning, they say: “I’ll have to send the guys to Odessa.”

Yes, I’m talking about ease, because we are talking about the lives of our soldiers. He wants to send troops for the sake of his own ego, personal image.”

Lying Zionist and obsessed online social media troll, Myerson, comes up with a repackaging of the brainless old chestnut you have free speech but not freedom from the consequences of your free speech“. Under such formulae, Mao’s China and Stalin’s Russia had “free speech”…

Why has Myerson himself not yet been suspended, both as Recorder and barrister? He brings both the Bench and the Bar into disrepute. Looks like his thinking skills are also pretty poor.

[Update, 23 September 2024: Myerson was kicked off the Bench and sacked as Recorder —p/t judge— in June or July 2024, but was allowed to present his sacking as a “resignation”. Now the Bar Standards Board is (or so I read) examining, not for the first time, Myerson and his vituperative social media activity in relation to his status as barrister].

The IDF now controls the entire Philadelphia Axis along the Egyptian border in the Gaza Strip This violates the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement, also known as the Camp David Accords. Under the agreement, Israel is not allowed to station any military units in “Area D,” which is a narrow land corridor along the border with Egypt.

They can never be trusted, any more than can most of their regional enemies.

This is what they are like, if given power.

Good move. Hopefully there will be at least a few countries in Europe not blasted into infinity by nuclear attack.

Yesterday, 98 illegal immigrants on 2 dinghies were smuggled into our country by our so-called Border Force. The video shows the illegals being collected mid-Channel where Border Force were waiting to take them onboard & whisk them to our shores.

They could be anyone & they’re free to roam amongst us.”

Yes. One frequently sees Jews on Twitter etc [pretending to be] upset that “their family” died, or were displaced, or inconvenienced, during the early 1940s; people that those descended from them and alive today never knew, of course.

British or German people just do not weaponize (or, indeed, monetize via books, films, “reparations”, and “restitution”) their family histories in that way.

My own maternal grandfather [b.1901] was at Dunkirk in 1940, and later in Burma. My maternal grandmother [b.1900] lost two brothers in the First World War (both, I believe, captains of the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry).

British (and German) people accept such events as historical, and do not constantly try to use them as tags on which to hang contemporary socio-political issues.

The question is, “replaced by what“?

I wonder whether he was the one who (ultimately) ran agents Epstein and [Ghislaine] “Maxwell” when they were still in play? See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/08/11/the-jew-epstein-and-prince-andrew-the-british-royal-family-has-another-scandal-maybe-its-time-to-just-get-rid-of-them/.

Strange minor incident. Taking a nap this afternoon, after having had a very early start today, I was awoken by a knock at the door of our tiny flat (the days of country houses and Caribbean villas being now long gone). I heard my wife agreeing to donate to the county’s air ambulance charity.

I was rather suspicious about the man at the door wanting bank details “to set up a direct debit“, so intervened and told the fellow that we would give another way. He left with superficial politeness; I could see that he was unhappy at being challenged (though I am not particularly aggressive).

I was concerned, so thought to call the police on their 101 non-emergency service. It then took something like 20 minutes to get beyond the recorded messages and just to get to talk to a human being (a pleasant-sounding lady) from the police and give her the details.

I also tried, twice, to telephone the air ambulance charity people themselves but, after an initial recorded message, was informed “your call cannot be transferred” and an unobtainable signal.

I looked up what the CEO of that charity gets paid: about £119,000 a year.

That small incident was typical of the way in which everything in this country is so screwed and just does not work. For a start, the air ambulance should be an official service, not a ragbag of private charities across the UK.

Secondly, it should be illegal for fundraisers to go around knocking on doors like itinerant gypsies. The public need to be protected.

Thirdly, how is it that the CEO of such a small charity (30 employees) gets a fairly generous salary? Yet their only public telephone number is non-operational. It’s poor.

There are too many boondoggles around, to use the American phrase. The “Major Tom” nonsense, with the quasi-fraudulent daughter and son-in-law, has surely brought that to public attention.

Fourthly, the police are almost absent when you need them. At the same time, the county police have apparently spent many many hours snooping upon and “monitoring” this blog, as they do the social media posts of others. The police need to get back to doing actual, real police work.

As a matter of fact, the Police and Crime Commissioner for the county will be elected this week. At present, it is some useless and enormous woman, a Conservative Party member.

Bravo! End the war.

If the Kiev regime imagines that a new army of forced and unwilling recruits will save the day, it is very much mistaken.

When the weather is warmer, and the Stavka gives the order, it is likely that the Russian armies in the east will start to roll, covered by massive artillery barrages and air cover. Any new forces recruited by the Kiev regime will simply be rolled over.

If the “preferences” of non-whites resident in the UK were not counted, that latter figure would be 0%.

The Jew-Zionists play it differently in France, the UK etc; there, they try to abuse laws of various kinds in order to repress free speech and freedom of expression, while trying to keep a stranglehold on the mainstream media.

The unfortunate population of Gaza suffers and suffers, while the Israeli and other Jew-Zionists mock their suffering in Tik-Tok and other online postings. “They” are laughing (so far).

The last time (the last major time, at least) that France gave (an entirely worthless) “security guarantee” was in March 1939: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Polish_alliance.

That went well…

Poland was then (September 1939) flattened by invasions from two sides, by the German Reich advancing from the west, and by the Red Army advancing from the east (with a few other little incursions in the south as well). France (and Britain) declared war on one invader-state only, the German Reich, and did not actually lift a finger to assist Poland directly.

Beware of “guarantees”, especially from France.

The number of Albanians arriving on the small-boats rose sharply between 2020 and 2022, from 54 to 12,301, though is now beginning to fall. Yet at the same time the number of Indian nationals crossing has risen sharply, from not a single Indian in 2018 or 2019 to almost 700 last year.

Some suggest Indians are now the third-largest cohort of migrants crossing the Channel. There are currently more than 51,000 asylum-seekers living in hotels in Britain.

At the end of 2022, the total estimated one-year cost of asylum-related spending on hotel accommodation, asylum-related allowances, healthcare, and school places – along with supporting new bodies like the Small Boats Operational Command (SBOC) and a technical unit specialising in asylum applications by Albanians – is now estimated to be in the region of £3.5 billion.

Put another way, last year the UK government spent three and a half times more accommodating newcomers in hotels (£2.2 billion) than the £630 million spent tackling homelessness in the UK, or spent more money accommodating newcomers than it spent on the latest fund for Levelling-up the left behind regions outside of London (£2.1 billion).

[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog].

In theory, there is almost no limit to the numbers who can claim “asylum” in the UK. The applicable law and rules were passed at a time or times when it was never envisaged that globalization and international disorder might result in huge populations, hundreds of millions of people, deciding to relocate en masse to Europe, including the UK.

If sceptics say, “it would never happen” (that hundreds of millions might strike out for the UK), the present migration-invasion (both “legal” and “illegal”) was never thought, by the average Joe, to be likely to happen, either. I can recall being ridiculed for suggesting that it might happen. That was in the 1970s. Look now…

Matt Goodwin, however, seems to be labouring under the misapprehension (let us politely call it that) that the System is simply incompetent, whereas in fact, amid the general incompetence of the Westminster Bubble types, there are secret and sinister plans afoot, and have been for decades: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

The continuing migration-invasion has already pretty much killed off, in most people, the pride in being British felt by most previous generations; it is also, right now, killing off what is left of the idea that the UK is “a nation” or a small group of 4-6 nations in one. It is killing off the Welfare State, the NHS, the idea that the average person without family money can buy a decent house or flat, and much else besides.

There will either be chaos or civil war, or both, by 2050 if not long before that date.

Is that surprising? Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel (as is Blair, whereas Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, and Liz Truss are all members of Conservative Friends of Israel. Not forgetting the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).

Starmer is of course married to a Jewish woman, a property lawyer: see https://www.tatler.com/article/the-rising-starmer-who-is-lady-victoria-starmer-tatler-january-2023-issue, and their children are being brought up as if full-Jew:

It was her parents who instilled her Jewish faith and the Starmers have continued in that tradition.

Despite Sir Keir being an atheist, the family attend The Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St John’s Wood. A politico from the Jewish community tells me: ‘Keir has fully embraced Victoria’s Jewish practice.’ Their children are said to go to Cheder lessons at the synagogue, where young people learn about Judaism.

They uphold the Shabbat tradition of Friday-night dinners with family and friends as often as they can, even taking to Zoom prayers – read by Victoria’s father – during the pandemic. Invitations to these dinners are known to be ‘highly prized’…

Her faith may in fact turn out to be significant in a political sense. As to what her first official foray into politics might be, one Westminster insider suggests that it could be connected with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM): ‘Giving a speech to JLM would be quite an easy introduction because it is already the community she is part of.’

The group has approached Sir Keir’s office about Lady Starmer’s involvement. At the Labour Party’s annual conference in Liverpool last September, she went with Ruth Smeeth, who has since been nominated for a Labour peerage, and a small group from JLM to Liverpool Reform Synagogue to mark the first day of Jewish New Year.

Another Westminster insider says: ‘She has helped shape Keir’s understanding of anti-Semitism...”

[Tatler]

I disagree with calling any humans, or humanoids, “animals“. The animal kingdom already suffers so much from humanity, so I prefer not to add insult to injury.

On the “terrorism” point, though, Jews have been going from the UK, France, USA etc to Israel for training and indoctrination for decades. They stand ready to do whatever they are told to do.

Victor Ostrovsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ostrovsky] has said (and written) that MOSSAD and other Israeli Intelligence agencies maintain arms caches in all countries except the USA. So the arms (and explosives?) are already in the UK, as are those Jews who have received military and other training in Israel. Most if not all have UK passports and mostly dual nationality. A ready-made small army…

Is the Security Service complacent about all that? Complicit? The Government actually gives Jewish organizations British taxpayers’ money in order to “assist with security”. Is there any oversight? I doubt it.

Israeli war crimes, cheered on by (it seems, looking at Twitter/X and elsewhere) many, maybe most of the Jews currently resident in the UK, France, USA etc. That, at least, is my own impression (I concede that my conclusion is based on evidence anecdotal or unscientific).

The Tories are failing to provide a serious & effective response to illegal migration while also losing control of legal migration. And now both will almost certainly soar to even higher levels under a Labour government, which has no serious plan for the former and does not care about the latter.

This will further erode public trust in politics, fuel division, cost more lives in the Channel, and undermine the legitimacy of the old politics.

The real losers in all this will be the British people who simply asked for what they were promised in 2016: control over their borders and much lower levels of immigration.

The end result –I suspect– will either be widespread apathy or the emergence of a new politics which finally takes this promise, and the British people, seriously.”

[Matt Goodwin]

First apathy, then perhaps, after the UK slides further into the mire, there may emerge, from the depths of the people, a new wave.

Zelensky began to prepare Western public opinion for total mobilization in Ukraine and the extradition of Ukrainian men: “This is a matter of law and justice. If you are of mobilization age, according to Ukrainian law, you must be in Ukraine. It is a fact. And then you will fight or not fight. You will work.

Without the help of the US and EU, Ukraine will struggle, Ukraine will be weaker and this will be an opportunity for Russia to take over us. And as soon as they capture us, believe me, it will be a war between NATO and Russia.”

[Zelensky]

The Zelensky cabal seems to have accepted that, as things stand, Russia has the strategic or positional advantage.

What I know about alpacas would probably fill only a very small postcard. I was surprised to read that they can eat fir or pine trees and the like. According to Wikipedia, their usual diet is different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpaca#Diet.

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

Lost wars are never popular and, while the Israeli war machine is slowly grinding the life out of Gaza, there is no easy victory for the (Israeli) Jews in that theatre, and casualties are mounting (though a small fraction of those suffered by both Gazan combatants and non-combatants).

Meanwhile, it seems to me that the strategic position of Israel has never been so precarious, even in the 1950s. Hezbollah threatens the northern border, Iran is developing longer-range missiles, and the Israeli economy is battered by the Gaza conflict, the evacuation of the northern border areas, by the situation in the Red Sea, and by a worldwide consumer boycott. Also, Israeli society itself seems fragmented, disunited.

To my mind, and for the first time in my lifetime [b. 1956] one can see a possibility, even a probability, that the State of Israel may not survive for very long into the future. Ironically, the nuclear and other advanced weapons of Israel may prove to be irrelevant, in that what seems most likely is a mass “invasion” or insurrection by lightly-armed militants (as in the recent Hamas incursions into southern Israel). Israel cannot use its most powerful weapons on its own territory.

A word about junior doctors striking

I have little time for the selfish yet virtue-signalling junior doctors. Many of them are useless anyway, and now we see that, when push comes to shove, they are willing to abandon their patients in order to demand better pay.

Yes, there remains a “skeleton service”, but that is a conscience-salve equivalent to the blank round given secretly to a randomly-selected member of a firing squad.

What about that pay? In the first year of work, they get a basic salary around £33,000, but that can greatly increase for overtime work of various kinds. Many are making over £45,000.

Admittedly, £33,000 is no fortune, but that is, after all, for persons recently-qualified. There are huge numbers of people in the UK making less, even after 20 or 30 years of work, and that is even disregarding the unemployed, sick, disabled, pensioners etc.

A second year doctor in a hospital gets £37,000+ (up to about £50,000).

Salaried GPs get between £70,000 and £105,000. Partner-GPs get far more.

Hospital doctors get increments annually; a complicated series of payments for various training programmes and placements raises the salary of many far beyond the minima.

NHS consultants start (in their first year of consultancy) on basic pay of just under £100,000, and make far more with seniority etc.

I say nothing about whether doctors (at any level) “should” get more pay, simply that it is disgusting that the junior ones seem willing to abandon sick and helpless people, often very vulnerable people, often people in pain (and in need of strong painkillers which can only be prescribed by doctors, meaning the “men —and women— in white coats”).

If junior doctors and, beyond that, what is so often —and cringingly— called “our NHS” callously abandon the British people, it may be that the British people will eventually abandon the doctors and demand a health service that works for its patients and not mainly for the benefit of those that work in it.

Actually, I do have one observation to make, which is that, obviously, in this conflict, truth has been the first casualty, but that, after truth, the next casualty has been the supposedly “elite” reputation of the Israeli Army.

I see that opinion polls are now indicating that Trump is gaining ground among the “young”, Hispanic, and black voters. That could be a gamechanger, if Trump can survive to be voted in and his second term inaugurated.

Various impressions, but my overall impression (of what — admittedly little— I saw) was that the place was a huge waste of space (and money). What is it for?

Ha ha. Rather vulgar, but it made me laugh!

I believe I read somewhere, years ago, that Israelis are often cruel to donkeys, which are such gentle animals, so ready to be friendly with humans. It is true that donkeys are over-worked and abused in other countries too, including Arab countries, Pakistan etc.

The Jew settlers in Israel/Palestine (often from the USA) are horrible, though, fully displaying the malice for which “they” have always been well-known.

I would have said “unbelievable”, but in the pathetic, washed-up UK of 2023 and 2024, all too believable, unfortunately.

Hard to believe, but there it is: “normal” life, or a semblance of it, despite the fact that that area, 2-3 miles north of Gaza City, has been attacked heavily from the air for two months, and despite the fact that heavy ground fighting has occurred recently at Beit Hanoun, only a mile or so away.

People should not be treated in such a shabby manner (by the NHS system, not staff), yet the story above is almost commonplace in some parts of the UK.

The NHS has some wonderful people in it, a minority also not so good, but what really lets it down is maladministration. Money is a large part of the problem, but is not the whole story by any means.

There is also the point that the UK population has increased from about 55 million half a century ago to maybe as many as 70 million today, mainly (in fact almost entirely) because of mass immigration, and also births to immigrant mothers. Yes, quite a few non-Brits work in the NHS, but that hardly outweighs the pressure from FIFTEEN MILLION more potential patients (who should not even be in this country).

Pressure from immigration etc would not have been a factor in the above story (which comes from Northern Ireland), but it is a factor in much of the UK.

Arthur’s Stone

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jul/22/weird-wonderful-rare-dig-at-arthurs-stone-writes-new-story-of-neolithic-site.

I recall camping only about 20-30 feet from Arthur’s Stone sometime in the early 1980s. My then girlfriend and I just happened upon it one dark late evening; in fact we had never heard of it. A convenient place to stop the car and pitch a small tent. Very quiet. Zero traffic (except us).

Sounds as if it is a bit of a tourist destination now, but then I think not. I do not think we heard a single car pass in the night until, at about 0200 hrs, a torch was shone into my face. A policeman. He asked whether we had heard a car pass in the past hour; we said no, we were sleeping. He said OK and left. I expect that he made that story up as an excuse for disturbing us.

Arthur’s Stone is about 15 miles west of Hereford, and is on a very narrow and little-used (even now, I expect) lane. I have trekked, at various times, across much of the countryside between Hereford and Hay-on-Wye and around (but many many years ago, in much younger and far fitter days).

Looking at Google Earth, I see that it now has a low wooden fence, about 2 ft high, around it. Don’t recall that, but (as we know) memory, even my memory, can be faulty.

So the virtue-signalling Guardian’s editor has a salary of £510,000 a year! No wonder the Guardian‘s one-time “socialism” is rather muted these days…

Incidentally, I believe that Ms. Viner’s personal “partner” makes even more than she does.

GMG also paid its former chief executive Annette Thomas £795,000 after she left following a clash with Ms Viner over the direction of the business. Ms Thomas received a “one-off” payment on top of her £630,000 base salary, meaning she made £1.5m in 15 months on the job.

[Daily Mail]

Annual revenues at GMG climbed 13pc to £255.8m and profits rose nearly four-fold to £11.7m.

The Guardian does not have a paywall but instead relies on donations made by readers.

Over one million people made monthly contributions of at least £1 a month, while another 500,000 readers made one-off payments.

[Daily Telegraph]

Incredible, really: a million mugs give £1+ each monthly to the Guardian, meaning £12 million a year, while another half-million mugs make one-off payments each year, meaning £500,000+, probably £1M or more.

So… the profits of nearly £12M are because those million or so mugs are donating about the same amount, and maybe several million pounds more. Those donations make the difference between insolvency and significant profitability.

Meanwhile, the editor gets paid half a million pounds —and more— annually.

Interesting. I would not dismiss such an invention out of hand.

Does not look English, but that could describe half of the population of London.

Tweeters already covered what would be my main suggestion, i.e. to check cctv at the two or three nearest Boots branches.

You do have to be very careful in London now. When I lived in London, and later in Almaty (Kazakhstan), in the mid/late 1990s, I always wore one of my Rolex Seadweller watches (in today’s value, over £10,000).

I doubt that I would do that today, if I had such a watch (in fact, I sold my watches long long ago from necessity…needs must), especially if I used the London Underground (as I often did when in London).

When I lived in Almaty, where (at the time, i.e. 1996-97), credit cards were almost useless, I always carried USD $5,000-$10,000 in a special moneybelt made to look exactly like an ordinary belt. I never had any serious trouble, though there was once a scuffle with a “wild” (unofficial) taxi driver (no real harm done— my sunglasses broken, a good shirt torn, but his face improved after connection with my elbow…).

As a visitor or tourist in a foreign city, you do have to be careful. I was once, 40 years ago, doing some petty nonsense at the now-closed Paddington Green police station [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddington_Green_Police_Station]. In the reception area. Two Egyptian girls, tourists, came in, wailing. The police desk person could scarcely have been less helpful to them, almost contemptuous, when he heard that one of the girls had had her handbag snatched, along with £800 in it (a great deal higher value then than now, of course; you could probably call it as much as £10,000 in today’s money).

Sadly, the police now are usually useless unless the crime is something they have been told is top-priority, such as cases of murder, “terrorism”, saying rude things online about Jews etc.

I hope that the lady in that Twitter thread gets her stuff back, but it is a long-shot, of course. Her best bet is probably to set up a gofundme appeal, but that will of course not help with the identity documents she lost.

At least the lady’s case has now been taken up by police CID (see below):

People are often careless with bags etc. I found a woman’s strapless bag, a bit like a large wallet, in a shopping trolley in one of the trolley bays in the car park of the Waitrose in the local small town, about a year ago. Opened it out of curiosity before I gave it in to the Waitrose reception desk. Full of cards, dozens of them; quite a bit of cash as well.

A few years ago, not long after sunup, I happened to see a purse on the ground, in a clifftop car park. Inside, nearly £50 in notes, a debit card, and a student rail pass in the name of some girl. I brought it home thinking that it must be fairly local (the rail pass having been issued about 5 miles away), and that the unusual surname might be in the telephone book. No luck, so I gave it to the police at the local police station.

I hope that the girl student got back her cards and money. As to what she might have been doing late at night (presumably) in that clifftop car park, well, that is none of my business…

Incidentally, lest readers of the blog think that I am unnaturally virtuous, I have to admit that, were it a million pounds in a suitcase, my actions might be quite different.

I think that most police forces do not even bother now with mere lost property. After all, their valuable time is taken up by policing the Internet etc…

Exactly right. The medium-term endgame, maybe in 2022 or 2023, maybe slightly later, will be to demand that everyone in “advanced” countries gets microchipped, not only as a “Covid passport” but supposedly to protect financial information, because debit cards and credit cards will slowly be replaced by the implanted chip. The same with medical information on the individual. Then will come police records and actual passports etc.

Naturally, anyone deemed “racist”, “anti-Semitic” (that most of all) etc will have those “facts” recorded on the chip (or may even not be chipped, thus excluding them from society). A fine police state tool, useful for barring “unpersons” from professions, jobs etc, most of all barring them from politics and other opinion-forming activity.

It is already happening, though less efficiently, using more basic methods, in the msm, mainstream politics, and the higher-profile professions and occupations, such as the Bar, as well as in the Diplomatic Service, SIS, MI5 etc.

In short, the individual will be totally identifiable, checkable and (once synchronized with 5G etc) trackable 24/7, worldwide.

The global fake “biosecurity” police state will then come into being.

Anyone not part of “the only game in town” will be (in fact, certainly in the UK, already is) marginalized, and later will be starved, made homeless and/or then criminalized and probably incarcerated in (though they will be called something else) concentration camps .

There may be ways of fighting this evil but not, primarily, via ordinary political activity, and certainly not by tweeting, blogging etc. That is, at best, preparatory.

Only the Aryan can give life.

Marx said that “the point is not to understand the world but to change it“, a very limited but not entirely incorrect viewpoint. We now have many people who think that the most important thing is to be able to express views publicly, by which is usually meant online. I sympathize, and have myself suffered from the repression against free speech (unlawfully disbarred, expelled from Twitter etc), but the mere expression of views cannot be a substitute for real action for a better and/or completely different society.

Agent-provocateur? The truth about all that may not emerge for many years.

I think that it has become worse in past decades. There is now, certainly in the UK, an unofficial or semi-official canon to which a journalist who wants to have a job must subscribe: pro-Jew, probably/mostly pro-Israel, “anti-racist” (apart from pro-Israel), pro the “BLM” nonsense (tweak a little for Daily Mail etc readership), pro-facemask nonsense, believing most of the official “Covid” propaganda line and that of the “holocaust” farrago; and so on.

Tweeting or blogging will not stop evil bastards of that sort.

See my previous comment…

I hope that it will still be there this time next year.

Plod news

Hard to know which is the most shocking, the way in which an elderly person was treated, or the incompetence which meant that the police not only went to the wrong address but also mistook a house for a flat, and then also mistook a white man of 80 years of age for a black man in his thirties!

The police are fortunate that most people who commit crimes are not very intelligent; if they were, the success rate for the police would be even lower than it is.

Update, same day: I happened to see the tweets now appended below, which cover the incident in more detail:

Incidentally, the police sending their victim a £30 bill for securing the door they themselves had damaged is contemptuous and rather Kafka-esque.

Hard to believe the attitude…it reminded me of a news report I saw decades ago: a helicopter was used in a prison escape, I think from Gartree prison in Leicestershire (a top-security place then, where Professor Hugh Hambleton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Hambleton] and other high-profile prisoners were held).

When the police recaptured one notorious criminal, they beat and kicked the **** out of him. Appearing in the local mags court, one charge against him was escaping from the prison, but the other was “criminal damage to a police boot” (with his head and face! True; this actually happened; at least, it was reported in at least one newspaper).

I am not by nature “anti-police”, they being a necessary evil in a modern society, but the police in the UK are now rather disturbing, often uninterested in real or “ordinary” crime, yet focussed on things like malicious complaints made by dishonest Jews about comments made about current affairs on social media.

Also, the police seem to be alternately far too lenient on things such as anti-social street behaviour, yet sometimes, as above, absurdly heavy-handed.

The police should take a look at where they are, and on their priorities.

Town planning and architecture

Quite interesting American overview of Soviet town planning, focussing mainly on residential units:

Another town planning video:

If there is something missing from that video, it is that cities are for people, and it is the nature of the population that determines whether a city is a pleasant or unpleasant place in which to live. The same city can be a centre of culture and science, or just a human zoo, depending on the nature of its inhabitants.

Covid police state, France

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10369781/Macron-says-wants-p-unvaccinated.html

Emmanuel Macron says he wants to ‘p*** off’ the unvaccinated in foul-mouthed rant vowing to ban them from public places including restaurants, cinemas and coffee shops from next week” [Daily Mail]

I won’t send (the unvaccinated) to prison, I won’t vaccinate by force. So we need to tell them, from Jan. 15, you won’t be able to go to the restaurant anymore, you won’t be able to down one, won’t be able to have a coffee, go to the theatre, the cinema.” [Daily Mail]

Exactly what I was saying earlier in today’s blog. Those resisting the System (which is presently using the Covid “panicdemic” as excuse) will be gradually reduced to the status of a marginalized and bullied underclass. Fight now or fight later…

People of France! You have dealt with tyrants before— deal with this one. I have written about NWO/ZOG puppet Macron in the past: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/. Get rid of him…GET RID OF HIM…

Unfortunately, Twitter did listen to (and obey) the Jew-Zionist claque re. me; I was expelled in 2018. Having said that, I had already woken up to the fact that Twitter is of limited utility in socio-political terms and is, to a large extent, a waste of time.

What kind of society allows (forces) a nurse actually employed in a hospital to sleep in her car along with her animal companions, while at the same time putting large numbers of unwanted non-European migrant-invaders —who will never be of the slightest use to the British people, quite the contrary— into 4* hotels, sheltering them, feeding them, giving them spending money, and even providing them with computers and mobile telephones? It is mad, just mad.

Not completely wrong; Colston did trade in slaves and/or directly profited by that. He was, however, also a merchant generally, and a philanthropist on a large scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Colston

These days, everyone in history (or politics) has to be a hero (often fake) or villain (often exaggerated).

As for “GB News”, I have not seen it even once, but it is obviously more “controlled opposition”.

Anyway, if you pull down the Colston statue, why do you leave standing those to most British monarchs and other major figures from about 1500 to 1800?

I suppose it is just a matter of time before a crazed multiracial mob of near-zombies destroys all of our history, race, and culture. Or will the British people awake at the last moment?

2022

So here we start the significant year 2022, the first such year since 1989.

1956 (starting the 33 years following) saw, inter alia, the end, or the beginning of the end, not only of Stalinism (via Khrushchev’s Secret Speech), but also of Sovietism itself; that process came to its fulfilment in 1989.

1956 also saw the emergence of Arab and Muslim oil power (after the Suez Crisis), as well as the start of the growth of Israeli regional power. The start —in significant terms— of the USA/Soviet “space race” too. On a less global scale, my own birth.

1989 saw the open proclamation by President Bush (snr) of the New World Order [NWO]; also the collapse, or the start of the final collapse, of socialism (in all forms) worldwide. Also, the emergence of China as a true world power, and the start of the destruction by the USA [NWO] and Israel of the Arab/Muslim oil bloc, and so its post-1956 stranglehold over the West.

2022 seems to be about to witness the installation of a worldwide biosecurity police state, which may include the microchipping of the entire population of the planet (thus the ability to control and track —and then target— anyone at the will of the NWO, 24/7).

This seems to be co-inciding with the implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan (“white genocide” if you like, meaning the elimination of the European peoples as truly European, racially), and that includes the flooding of all Europe, but particularly Western and Central Europe, by blacks and browns (migrant invaders).

Something similar is occurring in North America and Australasia. TV programs, films, ads, books, magazine stories. all promoting race-mixing and fake “diversity”, via which white people will be (they think) “cancelled”. The “BLM” nonsense is part of that, but only part.

How far the above mainly-evil plans can succeed is open to question; the 1989 plan only worked in part, partly because Russia regrouped and to some extent freed itself again from Jewish takeover, and partly because the Islamist surge, including the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 (which triggered a limited financial collapse, worsened the dotcom bubble bursting etc), blunted the complete takeover of the Arab/Muslim states, though only at the cost of destruction of almost all of them (as powers).

God’s Will be done. If we want a different kind of future, we may have to fight for it. I hope to play my part, despite now being 65.

Many favour Blair being put on trial before a people’s court, with execution the likely next stop. I personally would settle for Tony and Cherie, and their offspring, to be subject to expropriation of all their monies, properties and other valuable items, hitting those moneygrubbers where it really hurts, with both Tony and Cherie then both forced to dig canals or something of the sort; either unpaid or on minimum wage. I am, naturally, more merciful than the mob…

Don’t you mean the J-word?

Saturday quiz

Well, on this the first quiz day of 2022, I scored yet another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only a pitiful 2/10. Hard to believe that he scored only 2 out of those 10 questions. Still, there it is, and I do always commend his honesty (re. the quiz results); perhaps he was hung-over after celebrating the knighthood given to his idol, Blair.

As for me, I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 4, and 8.

Andrew Windsor? Give up his titles? He will never do that voluntarily. After all, without being a “prince” etc, without the titles, Andrew would just be a complete nobody, unlike the other royals…oh, no…wait…

Ha ha! I recall seeing a road in Crystal Palace once and long ago— Jews Walk. I have no idea whether that has fallen foul of the “woke” tsunami.

Ah…looking at the wonderful Internet, it seems not:

“...it is generally agreed that it came from David Ximenes, who planted the road with elms. It was replanted with chestnut trees in the 1850s. David Ximenes was son of Sir Moses Ximenes, scion of an old Spanish Jewish family that had fled from the Inquisition. Like Disraeli’s father, Sir Moses disagreed with the committee of Bevis Marks synagogue and converted to Christianity. Like Disraeli, David Ximenes was still regarded as Jewish by the public, hence the road’s name.” See https://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=432.

As a postscript to the above. David Ximenes lived at Sheenewood, a large house in Westwood Hill opposite Jews Walk. The elm tree walk would have led to his front door, so to speak.

Jews Walk was named after two Jewish brothers who lived in Westwood, a large house on the edge of Sydenham Common, where the Shenewood (my preferred spelling, as it is named after a wood owned by Shene Priory) estate now stands. In about 1769 the brothers obtained permission from Lord Dartmouth, the Lord of the Manor, to create a tree-lined walk across the common from what is now Kirkdale to their house. This walk became known as “the Jews’ walk”. When Sydenham Common was enclosed in the early 19th century the name was retained. By at least 1854 the residents of Jews Walk felt that such a name was not appropriate (undertones of anti-Semitism) and they began referring to the street as “The Grove”. In 1878 the Metropolitan Board of Works, a London-wide body amongst whose responsibilities was making sense of house numbers and street names, was petitioned to officially rename Jews Walk to “The Grove”. To their credit the MBW refused to change the name and “Jews Walk”, one of the oldest street-names in Sydenham, survived. However, the Congregational Church continued to be known as the Church in the Grove.” [Sydenham Town Forum]

Interesting: seems that David Ximenes was somehow descended from a Grand Inquisitor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Jim%C3%A9nez_de_Cisneros
