Well, this week brings another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10. My score was 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, 9, and 10.

[“More victims of Israel’s war crimes. This child was wounded in an air strike on a tent. No parents with her, meaning her family was killed. THE KILLING OR MAIMING OF BABIES IS NOT A COLLATERAL DAMAGE. IT IS AN ISRAELI POLICY. Listen to what former head of the military intelligence directorate said in a recording leaked just today. He said that israel should kill 50 Palestinians for each israeli killed on 10/7, even if these Palestinians were kids. Listen to what israeli ministers and knesset members say. Some want to eliminate Palestinian babies. Listen to religious leaders too: Rabbi Eliyahu Mali “Today he is a baby, tomorrow he is a fighter … whoever comes to kill you … also includes the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce the future generation (women of Gaza)” And the whole fu**ing world is not stopping them.“]
The UK (government and people) should be cracking down at least on Israel’s diplomatic representation in this country and, most importantly, on the Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals which are facilitating Israeli war crimes; organizations such as the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and its unpleasant spokespersons such as “Slitherman”.
Is that so surprising? There has been a gradual takeover of the USA (especially political life, publishing, TV/radio, film industry legal system) by “them”; over a century or more, but especially since the 1970s.
It is at its most obvious, arguably, in respect of American politicians, the bought-and-paid-for Ted Cruz or Huckabee type.

If Montgomerie thinks that Putin looks comical or inadequate, what must he have thought of Britain’s pygmy “national leaders”? Starmer-stein, somewhere between an irrelevance and a national embarrassment; the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, who stands about 5 ft nothing; Liz Truss, thick as two short planks, quite uneducated, and who only became an MP in the first place on her back; Boris-idiot, the part-Jew chancer and self-promoter, who always pretended to some kind of great classical erudition but whose real knowledge of anything and everything is very very shallow; Theresa May, another partly-Jewish one, formerly a back-room nobody in the direct-debit and cheque-clearing organization, BACS; David Cameron-Levita, partly-Jewish, again, and whose Libyan misadventure has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe. All of those…
Incidentally, all of those noted are or were in the pocket of the Israel lobby.
Matthew you talk absolute nonsense Their is a two tier system & we all know it Ricky Jones should have gone to prison for what he said & the gesture he made as well The only person who is humiliating themselves is you with your statement & stupidity
That tweeter/commentator, Stadlen, a half-Jew, takes every opportunity to attack those fighting against the migration-invasion of this country.
As to the “jury’s verdict” in the Ricky Jones case, it was plainly perverse, plainly political or socio-political and, as I noted yesterday on the blog, probably the result of a largely or entirely non-white jury, and/or one containing jurors motivated by socio-political bias.
In fact, once society becomes fragmented, the jury system no longer works properly, at least in “political” cases. That is what happened in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Juries were biased either towards or against defendants, bias based on perceived community allegiances, or were subject to intimidation. Thus it became necessary to institute “Diplock courts”, in which a judge sat without a jury:
A friend of mine, a barrister, once saw a Diplock court in action in Belfast, sometime in the 1980s (invited to see it by a barrister he knew from that region). He told me it was strange to enter a typical old-style British courtroom, all wooden panelling, bewigged judge and Counsel etc, but no jury. As well as the usual court staff, usher etc, a couple of policemen standing guard, and armed with submachineguns.
In the case before that court, a man stood accused of being a member of one of the paramilitary organizations (I forget which one). My friend recounting this to me said that the impression was that of a kangaroo court, but in fact the judge, on consideration of all the evidence, acquitted the defendant at the end.
A number of (real) British people have been imprisoned for race/politics offences in recent years, after juries convicted them; Jez Turner, and Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), to name but two. Time for Brits on juries to start acquitting those standing up for European race, culture and civilization.

Consider just a few statistics which reveal how Reformers see the world:
70% say the economy is ‘rigged to advantage the rich and powerful’.
84% say the ‘traditional parties don’t care about people like me’.
81% say ‘the experts don’t understand the lives of people like me’.…
As for “experts“, many of those in the political/social/economic affairs milieu posing as expert have an agenda, whether hidden or otherwise.

Britain is little better, these days. The influence of Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby orgs is pervasive, not only in politics but also in the mass media, law, and other areas of society.
Stunning. Translates to about 394 MPs for Reform UK, an official majority of 68, in reality about 80.
Labour 83 MPs (the lowest predicted in recent times, I believe; in 1931, Labour scored only 52 MPs). Labour’s predicted 83 MPs result is all the more stunning following Starmer-Labour’s 411 MPs, elected only a year ago, at GE 2024.
LibDems are predicted to get 56 MPs, Cons 43, SNP 40, Greens 8 (etc).
As I have been saying for years on the blog, we in the UK, particularly in England, are in a negative-voting situation, in which people vote against, not for.
It just so happens that both the main System parties have pretty much burned their boats with the voting public. That does not mean that people really enthuse much about Reform UK and Farage etc. It means, simply, that most white English people, especially, are now completely hostile to both Lab and Con. They are willing to vote Reform as a last throw of the “democratic” dice. If —and when— Reform govern, or try to govern, and fail, then the people will be ready to turn to a proper social national alternative.
This puts Farage and Reform in a strong position. Because people are well aware that Farage and Reform and, indeed, most Reform candidates, MPs etc, are rather underwhelming, little scandal can really touch them, because the voters seem now very ready to vote against both Lab and Con, and because Reform is the only game in town that carries any weight at present, electorally.
📈NEW POST📈
Why are so many people in the UK abandoning the establishment for @Nigel_Farage & Reform?
A huge new survey of 4,000 Reformers shows why
➡️They are utterly sick and tired of BOTH illegal and legal mass immigration
I agree, overall. However, the pro-Reform vote is really, and as Goodwin’s own argument shows, a vote against the System parties and against mass immigration, inter alia. It is not really a vote for any particular policy programme.
Not that that really matters in electoral terms. If it comes to pass, that poll means that 328 Labour MPs will be binned in or before 2029, as will 77 Conservative Party MPs (including Alex Burghart, James Cleverly, Dunce Duncan Smith, Christopher Chope, Mel Stride, Simon Hoare, Helen Whately, David Davis, Caroline Dineage, Kit Malthouse, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne, Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy, Andrew Mitchell, Katie Lam, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and, last but not least, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch herself).
If it happens, that must mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious political force, notwithstanding its long history and the predicted bloc of 43 surviving the cull of two-thirds of the Con Party MPs.
Even now, in 2025, the Conservative Party appears totally irrelevant.
The predicted huge cull of Labour MPs would include such names as Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst (one of the most “controlled” Israel puppets), John McDonnell, Bridget Phillipson, Wes Streeting, Rachel “from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Chris Bryant, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Heidi Alexander, Angela Eagle, Lisa Nandy, and Emma Reynolds.
Many deserving “victims” there, most of them Israel-lobby puppets.
The emotional response to this verdict is understandable but will we ever find out why the jury decided not guilty?
Any barrister, at least any barrister grounded in reality (I myself am no longer any kind of barrister, a wrongful and unlawful disbarment having been instigated by a pack of Jews in 2016), can tell you why a jury has acquitted that anti-white black agitator who called openly in the street for white British people to have their throats cut.
The chances are that the jury was mainly or entirely composed of non-whites. I used to appear from time to time at Snaresbrook Crown Court in the early 1990s and, in 1992, as a Bar pupil (trainee), was there several times a month, my pupillage having been part-criminal.
Even in the 1990s, the juries at Snaresbrook were often, in fact usually, at least partly non-white. Scroll on about 32 or 33 years and one can imagine that that is now even more the case.
Add to that the fact that many jurors in London are now people who are quite opposed to “law and order” generally (and that applies even more to Snaresbrook Crown Court, the catchment area for jurors of which being East London; Snaresbrook has a relatively high acquittal rate).
Remember the O.J. Simpson original trial in California? Despite the American msm bs (I was in the USA at the time), the fact is that the defence, shorn of a huge amount of (mostly) nonsense, amounted to “the victim was white, the defendant black, so the black jury should acquit the black of killing the white“. Which is what happened.
“From an original jury pool of 40 percent white, 28 percent black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 15 percent Asian, the final jury for the trial had ten women and two men, of whom nine were black, two white, and one Hispanic.” [Wikipedia].
…and look at all those white English people, many of them women, weak “me-too” idiots, clapping as the untermensch incited throat-slitting British people. They should all be in a concentration camp, as should the untermensch.
100% 💯 ! Kallas, von der Leyen, Merz, …..we have to arrest them.
That is the sort of brainless bimbo we are expected to accept should rule over us via the EU or other supra-national body. Another one is the former Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, a complete idiot. Both puppets of NWO/ZOG, of course.

The monster will be out in about 7-8 months, if not 6 months. My solution? Wall. Squad. End.

I used to go occasionally to the very small (and now shut down by reason of spending cuts) Penzance County Court about 18-23 years ago. I think the last case I did there was about the loss, and valuation, of a rather expensive diamond ring.
This is going to be absolute chaos in the courts, because the judicial review deciding whether the ban of Palestine Action is lawful isn't being heard until November
What are courts supposed to do if people start running defences that they were arrested on an unlawful basis?
In any case, a judicial review has the quasi-automatic consequence that criminal or civil cases likely to be affected by the outcome are stayed until the judicial review (and any appeal from the decision therefrom) is decided.
It would be good were reporters, journalists etc to know a little basic law before they start to comment.

Israeli war crimes. Whether the overall war on civilians be called or labelled a “genocide” or not is almost immaterial. The cruelty and/or sadistic brutality of the Israeli Jews (and that of the Jew-Zionist support cabals in Europe, North America etc) speaks for itself.

[“An Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post: “Turkey’s agreement to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets isn’t a game-changing threat to our Air Force. The Typhoon is a capable but not superior aircraft compared to our fighter jets. But it’s a clear and worrying signal that Turkey is accelerating its arms buildup in a way that could eventually challenge Israel’s military edge in the region. The deal isn’t an immediate threat, but still a headache for Israel”.]
This is the sort of thing that matters, not well-meaning people holding up placards in the UK to protest against the evil actions of the Israeli Jews in Gaza or the West Bank.
Eventually, both Turkey and Iran will have the means available to stamp on Israel and kill it off, very likely, notwithstanding Israel’s nuclear capabilities. Iran’s power rests, at long distance, on missiles, presently conventional, but perhaps eventually nuclear; Turkey’s power rests mainly on very powerful, and becoming more powerful, conventional forces; millions of soldiers, 2,500 tanks, and ever-more-powerful military air fleets.
I fully expect the Jews to be driven out of the Middle East eventually, but that will not, of course, be the final chapter.

[“Peter Kyle – Labour MP for Hove and Portslade (East Sussex). Peter has been an MP for ten years and is now the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. Peter previously worked for children’s charities and helped set up an orphanage in Rumania. He held senior positions while Labour were in opposition. Peter is also a Parliamentary ‘officer’ and Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. Peter was a persistent critic of Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of the party. The @ElectoralCommUK donations page shows that Peter has received £270,596.59 in donations and perks. In 2023/24/25 these have included: £118,433.22 from the Labour donor, banker and founder of Albourne Partners Simon Ruddick. £16,000 from international banker Anthony Watson. £13,000 from the @CWU, £99.840 from @PublicDigitalHQ to cover a staff secondment. The individual concerned was a ‘policy fellow’ at the Trevor Chinn funded/Morgan McSweeney run consortium; @LabourTogether £5,000 from banker and Chief Executive of Coutts & Co. Michael Morley £5,000 from Baron Patrick Carter. £15,000 from Simon Kime. £10,000 from Labour donor Lord Matthew Oakenshott. £10,000 from political donor Susan Ruddick. £13,665.57 from Lord David Sainsbury for international trips by air and on the Eurostar. £3,584 in hospitality and tickets from The Football Association for the Brit Awards and Taylor Swift and Madonna concerts.£1,835 from @SkyArts for hospitality and tickets to various events. £2,758.95 from the intelligence linked firm @HakluytCompany for a trip to San Francisco to meet with personnel from the tech industry. With his £93,904 salary, expenses, allowances, perks and very generous donations, there’s no doubt that Peter is living the good life as a Labour MP. ‘Poverty in Hove, part of Brighton & Hove, is a significant issue, with child poverty rates being a particular concern…Brighton & Hove has higher levels of pensioner poverty than the national average and contains the ward with the highest level of pensioner poverty.’ On 9th July 2025, Peter voted for the welfare/PIP cuts that will result in further distress and hardship for people who are disabled and unwell. Peter also voted to scrap the #WinterFuelPayment to pensioners and voted to retain the two child benefit cap which ‘significantly contributes to child poverty’ in the UK. @UKLabour@peterkyle.”]
Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade, is a typical member of the present Labour Friends of Israel government (arguably the least competent UK government in memory). A freeloader, out for what he can grab.
I had already considered that possibility. Would probably give Reform over 300 —maybe even 350— MPs, Labour perhaps 100, Cons and LibDems about 75 each, and the new “Corbyn” party maybe (at most) 10. Something like that. Not as much difference as one might have imagined, but cementing Reform’s presently-likely triumph.

“Who isn’t in favour of helping Gaza? Nobody.”
Really? Nobody?!
The lady tweeter seems to have forgotten about Israel, certainly the Netanyahu government, almost certainly most of the Israeli Jews, and (probably) most of the Jews in the UK and elsewhere.
As far as Corbyn being an “antisemite” is concerned, I wish he had been; he might then not have been so easily removed by a conspiracy consisting of Labour Friends of Israel MPs, murky Jew-Zionist orgs circling like vultures overhead, and Israel-lobby msm scribblers, talking heads etc; also, pro-Israel mass media platform-owners such as Murdoch, Desmond and others …
From my perspective, Corbyn is not really “antisemitic” at all, or only marginally.
“Wow” indeed…if that opinion poll is accurate (and it may be), Reform would get 436 MPs at a general election (a Commons majority of 110), Labour 78, LibDems 55, SNP 37, Cons 15, Greens 4 (etc).
Any result like that would certainly spell the end of the long-lived Con Party, would knock the stuffing out of Labour, and would write Reform UK a blank cheque (subject only to the House of Lords, where Reform has no peers at all, out of 836 peers at present. However, Farage could just create hundreds of new Reform peers, or simply abolish the Lords).
Among the hundreds of Labour MPs who would be booted out would be Stephen Kinnock, Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Jess Phillips, Ed Miliband, Luke Akehurst, Stephen Timms, Andrew Gwynne, Bridget Phillipson, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Maria Eagle, Angela Eagle, Lucy Powell, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Torsten Bell, Emma Reynolds, Wes Streeting etc.
Interestingly, Starmer-stein might survive, but no doubt would resign as Labour leader. He would not be interested in staying on anyway.
Prominent Cons in the bin would include Dunce Duncan Smith, Mel Stride (the Con “moderates'” great white hope), Kemi Badenoch (present Con leader and “great non-white hopeless”), Suella Braverman, Jesse Norman, Oliver Dowden, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne (my own local MP, and entirely useless, though I do not disagree with him on everything), Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Jenrick, Rishi Sunak, Mark Francois, Andrew Rosindell, the deadhead Gavin Williamson, “chocolate soldier” Tom Tugendhat, Nick Timothy, James Cleverly, Alex Burghart, David Davis, Jewish-lobby minor puppet Alec Shelbrooke etc.
Some LibDems and Greens would also be binned, but none of them is of the slightest consequence.

The rest of that thread is unintentionally funny: some Labourite cretin fantasizing about how much better this fake-Labour government would have been had either Liz Kendall (WHAT?!) or (Jesus H. Christ!) Gloria de Piero had become Labour leader! The latter, incidentally, was the useless and brainless TV presenter who became a “Labour-lite” MP in 2010, stepped down as MP in 2019 (knowing she would not be re-elected) and is now, thankfully, all but forgotten.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_De_Piero].

I do not know much about Rod Stewart, but I get the impression that he is someone who does like to give someone a chance. Starmer-stein has had his chance, and continues to do things that make him and Labour either hated or held in contempt, or both.
Needless to say, for me, Reform UK is underwhelming, not really “national”, and is pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, pro-finance-capitalism etc, BUT also the only game in town to crush the existing System party set-up that has been around for so long, certainly since the 1930s, and effectively since about 1900 if not prior to that date.
For me, it scarcely matters that Reform UK is itself basically a germinal System party, because its role is to chuck Labour and Conservative parties into the dustbin of history. After that, we shall see…

Ha. If only! The Russians have rather painted themselves into a corner with the “Nazi” stuff. The fact is that the Kiev regime is basically Jew-Zionist, and allied to Israel. As for “Nazi descendants“, that presumably refers to the new British SIS Chief, Blaise Metreweli, who has both Georgian and Ukrainian antecedents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Metreweli.
There has been a trend in Russian propaganda in recent years of being rather silly, especially around the “neo-Nazi Ukraine” stuff, and so on. Also, the pro-Stalin and “Great Patriotic War” nostalgia stuff.
Maria Zakharova might educate herself a little were she to read more widely about the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. e.g. The World I left Behind (published in Russian as Niece of the General Secretary, Племянница Генсека) by Lyubov Brezhneva: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyubov_Brezhneva.

What has slightly surprised me over several recent years (since about 2009, when I returned to live full-time in the UK) is how utterly clueless, totally ignorant, so many MPs are, including Cabinet ministers and, indeed, Prime Ministers (Starmer-stein, Liz Truss, Boris-idiot, Theresa May, Cameron-Levita, Sunak, even Gordon Brown).

Exc: Tory MPs increasingly concerned at council by-election results
In Essex, party lost a safe ward to Reform last night + failed to stand in Mid Devon
One asks: "What’s more embarrassing: not fielding a candidate – or losing supposedly safe wards"https://t.co/5FGsmxgMt1
Unsurprising. A party led by a Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents came to London for her birth (at that time, 1980, anyone born in the UK could later apply for a British passport). Kemi Badenoch is not really British at all. Until she was about 16-17, she had only been here for a day or two after her birth. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She is alien.
Apart from that, though, imagine a party (“Conservative” by name) which apparently intends to help Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall pass their social security/”welfare” cuts package, so cruel and unfeeling, and so unnecessary.
Huge amounts of money are wasted on all sorts of nonsense, such as the nuclear-weapons-carrying fighter-bombers the UK is apparently going to waste money buying from the USA. Do the cretins pretending to run this country really believe that Russia, as it now is, wants to invade Western Europe, even invade the UK? The idea is ludicrous.
Meanwhile, the only invasion that matters is continuing: 500-1,000 across the Channel most days now, with a further ~5,000 coming in “legally” as (supposedly) “high-skilled” workers (who never leave), spouses, fiancees, tourists (who never go back), “students” (who never go back) etc. Also, births to non-Europeans already here (about 1,600 births a day occur in the UK, of which the majority now are non-white). Call it a total of about 7,000. Every day…
It's hard to see what @Conservatives offer. They blew an 80 seat majority with a narcissistic roman orgy of back stabbing, Kemi failed to deliver the brexit red tape bonfire, they banned real cars, blew up power stations for PR stunts and had the highest taxes for decades.
People spend 13, often 16, sometimes as many as 20 years, in full-time education in this country, and most know FA. Truly radical change needed.

[“Israel’s plot to attack Iran hatched up to 15 years ago Israel had seeded target locations with “boots on the ground” long before June 13, an intelligence source told The Times.
The collected intel assisted Israel’s targeting of three nuclear sites in Tehran and Isfahan, including seven separate elements of the Natanz enrichment facility, and scores of other sites.
Israeli agents allegedly visited missile factories and workshops which Israel later targeted, including “the entire industry that supported” production of the conventional armaments.
Mossad possibly recruited “Iranian insiders,” the report hinted. Besides missile launches at Israel, a big component of Iran’s response to Israeli aggression has included hunting down Mossad agents, scores of whom have now been caught carrying improvised explosive devices, military-grade explosives, drones and even anti-tank missiles. Some agents have attempted suicide, while others engaged in dramatic, high-speed shootouts with police while attempting to get away.“]
As a John le Carre character reflected, intelligence work rests on patience and a kind of gentleness. Learn from the enemy and the potential enemy. Learn from history. MOSSAD, the KGB and GRU in their heyday, Chinese Intelligence, people such as Maurice Oldfield and Markus Wolf etc.
As for Israeli intelligence, remember what famous former MOSSAD operative Ostrovsky wrote, 36 years ago, i.e. that, in all countries where Jews exist, military and terror plans are in place, weapons and explosives secreted, to be used by selected Jews when the time comes. Look at the UK. Hundreds of young Jews go to Israel every year to be trained by the Israeli armed forces. They then return, most of them, to the UK, become journalists, editors, business parasites, City traders, whatever…but are also, some of them, agents or secret co-workers of MOSSAD, AMAN etc.

[Daily Mail]
Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.
379 MPs voted for this abomination. These people don’t represent us – they are enemies of humanity. pic.twitter.com/KEFklaGaTD
Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.
At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.
Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.
The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.
The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.
“The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.
“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.
As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.
I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.“

So…Israeli Jews killing children and others from the air. Of course, the Jews say that noticing such facts about their behaviour constitutes a so-called “blood libel”…
“Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?
Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.
What are swifts and why are they in trouble?
The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.
The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.
What are the prospects for swifts?
Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.
A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.
Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]
Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.
However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.
So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.
Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.
In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.
Stray thought
Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…
I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?
The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).
Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Thoughts about “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer’s latest nonsense
Starmer has now commented that he may decide to plant British “boots on the ground” in Ukraine. This is a comment which could only be made by someone with no grasp at all of geopolitical realities, and no thought at all for the welfare of the British people.
So what happens if/when serious fighting breaks out between the forces of the Russian Federation and those of the Kiev regime? Presumably, Starmer will want them to fight on the side of the Kiev-regime forces, i.e. against those of the Russian Federation, unless the British forces would just stand there, or retreat westward.
At that point, a NATO nuclear-armed state’s forces would be in direct armed conflict with Russian nuclear-armed forces. What happens when the Brit forces, maybe thousands of them, are destroyed? Send another tranche? How so, when the battle-ready UK Army numbers around 30,000 (some say fewer)?
Has Starmer thought this through? I think not. He’s useless.
Apart from anything else, the Russian Government would inevitably see the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine, whether designated as “peacekeeping forces” or not, as tantamount to a NATO force in Ukraine and on the side of the Kiev regime.
Madness.

“This story just breaking in The Telegraph must spell the end of Lord Hermer’s time as Attorney General. It’s been disclosed Hermer fought for compensation for Mustafa al-Hawsawi , one of the plotters of 9/11 where 2,900 people were killed. Hermer claimed the MoD, MI5 and MI6 were complicit in the torture of Hawsawi who was arrested in Pakistan alongside the 9/11 mastermind in 2003. Hermer started taking the terrorist’s money in 2023. A year later al-Hawsawi pleads guilty to murdering 2,900 people and is sentenced to life meaning life. Let’s get this right. One minute Hermer is accusing the MoD torture the next moment he’s on Labour’s payroll. A total shit. And don’t believe all this tosh about lawyer’s having to take the cab off the rank.

Starmer is talking s**t, as usual. Not only would putting UK “boots on the ground” be likely to go very wrong, and potentially lead to a conflict between the UK and Russia, possibly nuclear, but it seems that the quantity and indeed quality of British troops would be inadequate, taking “quality” to include their equipment, arms, armament, air “lift” power etc.
The best soldiers in the world are all but helpless without the right arms, armament, transport, logistics etc. True, in small scale “special forces” situations that is less so, but the Ukrainian theatre is not like that. Do not think Bosnia, Oman, Northern Ireland; think Second World War or, indeed, First World War.
Large armies, large artillery contingents, slugging it out on a vast scale. Even the present overall front-line is something like 900 miles long.
We see retired Brit senior officers saying that the UK government should be doubling military expenditure “to face Russia”. Why? There is actually no need. Russia is only looking (to some) like an adversary because the UK has been backing the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. Russia would much prefer to have cordial or at least normal relations with the UK.
Even leaving that aside, to scale-up the British armed forces to anything like what would be required to have more than a token effect in Ukraine would take not months but years. Personnel, training, re-equipping, rearming etc. Maybe 5 years.
Where would Britain’s retired senior officers’ new fantasy armies come from? Young people in the UK mostly wish to have nothing to do with anything military or naval, and who can blame them, looking at the increasingly degenerate and shambolic country they live in…
Meanwhile, Britain’s people become poorer by the year, Britain’s road and rail network is not even maintained, for the most part, properly, drug and alcohol abuse is rife, the population is degenerating culturally and ethnically, hutches for migrant-invaders threaten what is left of the green and pleasant land, and idealism (whether real or misplaced), is hard to find.
“As Starmer and his advisors scurry to Paris this morning collectively shamed by Washington into finally pulling their finger out on defence, here’s two cold hard realities.
1. The idea of deploying a peacekeeping force to Ukraine is indeed noble. But the UK have four deployable brigades for such a task. These would need to be re-rolled into a coherent entity or BCT, plus a corps level HQ which would be expected by allies. This would exhaust the British Army – with many units up to one third non-deployable. The notion of a 10k UK force I’ve seen doing the rounds is simply laughable. At most, a brigade, and this would exhaust the Army past 18 months (3 rotations).
2. The absolute fallacy of Starmer thinking he can send a credible force – whilst *still* insisting in private he won’t go above 2.65% GDP for defence spending – is utterly shameful. The cost of deploying even one brigade will cost billions extra a year – whilst straining the Army to its seams. To commit UK forces but not be prepared to fund it adequately is shameful, and shows no signs from learning from Iraq and Afghanistan.“
[Robert Clark]
Worth noting that. Not that I agree that sending Brit troops to Ukraine is in any way “noble“. We, as Brits, have neither selfish interest nor any moral obligation to do so. “Ukraine” as a state has existed for only 33-34 years, since 1991.
Since then, it has been the most corrupt “state” or quasi-state in Europe. The Kiev regime is not only corrupt but brutal and shambolic. Trade unions are banned, dissidents arrested or even shot or otherwise disposed of. Elections should have been held, at latest, a year ago.
Zelensky and his thieving cabal (with their overseas villas and offshore bank accounts) have stolen literally billions, and rule by decree and brute force. Few Ukrainians volunteer to fight; most, almost all now, are either drafted compulsorily or are pressed into service after having been abducted off the streets.
Moreover, Britain has effectively no historical ties of any substance with the region, and none with Ukraine as a state, because until 1991, Ukraine was merely part of the Soviet Union, and before that part of the Russian Empire.
Starmer and his ludicrous Cabinet of idiots have nothing in the tank. I am not referring only to the armed forces but across the board. They are empty of ideals, ideas, policies, and public support.

“No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants. But you know what they did vote for? In England, they voted for Brexit. And more and more all over Europe, they are voting for leaders who promise to end to out-of-control migration … I just think people care about their homes. They care about their dreams. They care about their safety & capacity to provide for themselves & their children … Contrary to what you might hear in Davos, citizens don’t think of themselves as educated animals or as interchangeable cogs of a global economy.”
“People say “the Holocaust is one of the most well documented events in history,” …. But it’s really not documented at all. In fact when you actually dig into the documents you realize how the evidence points into the other direction. Evidence like
-Hitler never ordered the extermination of the Jews
-the allies never spotted any “killing camps” when doing reconnaissance missions
-the allies broke the German codes and were listening to their messages, and heard nothing about death camps.
-all the “death camps” were only on the Soviet side. How did the allies manage to not find any? Why do we believe the Soviet communist?
-there is no physical evidence that Jews were gassed to death
-the worldwide Jewish population numbers did not decrease.
– the entire holocaust narrative is based on ludicrous constantly changing eye witness testimony
-during the war, the Germans were using the people in concentration camps as their labor force. Killing them literally would have hurt the war effort. This why they wouldn’t do it. “Arbeit Macht frei” which is stated at the gates of Auschwitz means work sets you free. Because it was a work camp…
The same [****] that are lying to you about the USS Liberty, the Iraq War, the conflict in Gaza, are the same [****] lying to you about [‘holocaust’].”
Good points.
The “@Uncommonsince76” Twitter/X account is one of the best.
The Israel-lobby stranglehold in the USA dates, in its powerful form, from the 1970s, which was when the term “holocaust” was adapted (inserted into mass media etc) to describe, deliberately vaguely, some events of the early 1940s.

“Since October 7, Jerusalem’s food security has been in crisis, says food expert Daniella Seltzer. Rising prices, disrupted supply chains, and the continued impact of war on the workforce has made it harder for many to access food. But Seltzer’s programme, Food Rescuers, is stepping up to the challenge, working to tackle food insecurity and waste.
The Food Rescuers collect surplus produce that would otherwise be discarded and redistribute it to those in need. With a poverty rate of 40 per cent, Jerusalem is one of Israel’s poorest cities, and the Rescuers’ work is sorely needed.”
So Jerusalem has a poverty rate designated as being 40%? Not the picture shown to the world by the Israeli government. I wonder what the corresponding rate for Tel Aviv might be.
Leaving aside the Jewish/Israeli aspect, though, it is true that a huge amount of food is also wasted in the UK. I often buy tins and bottles sold at a quarter, a fifth, even a tenth of the usual price, and placed on a few special shelves in supermarkets. Everything from tins of corn, peeled tomato, and tuna to fruit juices and packs of Evian water. The tins have minor dents at times, and the multi-packs of water may be missing a bottle, but the value is astonishing.
I hope that people generally do as I do when I put items from home, usually tins or jars, and which are within a month or so of the “best before” stamp, in the supermarket food bank bins for people who are struggling.
A society such as the UK should not “need” food banks, and I think that I had never heard of them until the evil government of David Cameron-Levita came to power in 2010, but they are at present necessary, and one can help them without even making any personal sacrifice. Better that a jar of arrabiata pasta sauce goes to a needy person or family, than that it be thrown into landfill.
Incidentally, that Jewish Chronicle report adds that:
“As prices rise, vulnerable communities – strictly Orthodox Jewish, Palestinian, refugee, Roma, and asylum seekers – are disproportionately affected. “The government’s food programmes often exclude people in East Jerusalem or non-Hebrew speakers. Even within the Jewish community, strictly Orthodox populations tend to get more support,” she says… “There is systemic racism engrained into the way the country works.”

“Almost one-in-three babies born in England and Wales last year were to women born outside the UK.

The proportion was also an increase from 26.5 per cent a decade earlier, after passing the quarter mark (25.1 per cent) in 2010.“
[Daily Mail]
That does not even include the vast numbers of non-white children born to mothers (and/or fathers) also non-white but themselves born in England.
The truth is that the majority, indeed probably vast majority, of births in England are now non-white.
The UK has no future, no decent future, if this continues.

Yesterday saw my blog post no. 2,000 published. Today’s blog post is therefore no. 2001.
The past nearly 8 years have seen the blog published most days, latterly about 28 or 29 days per month, despite concerted attempts by Jew-Zionists to shut down the blog either directly (by pressure on the hosting organization) or indirectly (via making repeated malicious and false complaints to the police and “Clown” Prosecution Service, with the idea of having me prosecuted, convicted etc and possibly ordered to cease publishing).
All attempts so far have failed. The excellent (and recommended) WordPress organization, based in the USA, has stayed true, overall, to principles of free speech and freedom of expression and, though I was eventually (in my opinion, wrongfully) prosecuted (in 2023) and (in my opinion, wrongfully) convicted, the sentence passed (in March 2024) changed nothing. The blog has been unaffected by direct court order; only by the perceived need to be more diplomatic in terms of how certain criticisms etc are couched. The legal position remains unchanged from what it was in 2023 or 2022 or, indeed, 2017.

For her parents to arrive in 1980 from Nigeria, and then she, a person with no British ancestry, no ties to our history or the land, to become leader of the country… It's ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as Rishi Sunak being a "Yorkshireman".
Her parents may have arrived “off the boat” (or plane) in 1980, but after having been born here (no doubt by design on the part of her parents), Kemi Badenoch returned to her (in reality) native Nigeria, where she lived in Lagos (and also in the USA) until the age of 16, i.e. in 1996. She then relocated to the UK.
This is ridiculous. The British people deserve better.

When the October 2023 attack occurred, two things surprised me: I was very surprised, frankly (having spent time in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab/Muslim world) that the Arabs were capable of both organizing and pulling off such a surprise attack, and also of keeping it a secret (assuming that they did) from the feared Israeli intelligence and security orgs.
There was something else that occurred to me, which was that the attack seemed to be, in a strategic sense, pointless, though it was at the time a tactical success (leaving aside the human cost and so on).
Of course, I assumed also —as it turned out, very mistakenly— that even if the inevitable Israeli response was far from actually “proportionate”, that it would be relatively so. I assumed that the Israelis would be satisfied with killing maybe 2,000 or 3,000 Gazans in retaliation for the supposed 1,200 killed by Hamas operatives in October 2023 (though it seems that many of those may have been killed in reckless “friendly fire” by the Israelis themselves).
I did not think that Israel would kill 42,000+ people, mainly civilians (indeed, mainly women and children), and horribly injure another 100,000+. The “genocidal” Israeli revenge still continues at time of writing.
I have no idea why the Hamas leadership did not bide its time, extend and expand its tunnel network, create perhaps one or more deep long-distance tunnels reaching far up the Israeli coast or even to Central Israel, then make a more devastating incursion at a much later date, perhaps not for years. That will be a question to be pondered upon by military specialists at staff colleges in the coming years.
We shall probably never know.

“More than 2,000 households a month are facing homelessness in England because private landlords say they are selling up, with some blaming uncertainty caused by government delays to renting reforms.
Official figures show that more than four in 10 families who have asked councils for temporary housing after a private landlord ended their tenancy are in the predicament because the owner told them they were putting the property on the market.
Despite increasing demand, the supply of private housing available to rent is still 50,000 homes below pre-pandemic levels, figures from Rightmove show. The total number of privately renting households, including those in stable accommodation, has hovered around the 4.5m mark for the last decade, according to the English Housing Survey. In that time, England’s population grew by 3.2 million, equivalent to 1.4m households.“

Islington North
The Labour Party is to select its candidate to fight Islington North in the expected 2024 General Election. Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, sacked from Labour by Israel and Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, has not been invited to apply.
Corbyn presently sits as Independent, but was elected at Islington North for Labour in every general election since 1983. At that first election, Corbyn and Labour scored a vote-share of 40.4% (Con 25.3%, SDP 22.4%), but since then Corbyn has never received less than 50% of the total vote, and usually above 60%, peaking in 2017 (when he was Labour leader) at 73% (Con 12.5%, LibDems 9%). At the most recent general election, in 2019, Corbyn scored 64.3% (LibDems 15.6%, Con 10.2%).
The huge unknown is what percentage of the voters voted for Corbyn, and what percentage voted for the Labour label.
Usually, voters vote by label. Few indeed are the instances where a candidate who has been cast out by his or her party, and who has then stood as Independent (or for a small party) then been re-elected. Most face ignominious defeat. However, Islington North may be different.
There has never been a case where a party leader has been expelled, in effect, from his own party, and has then stood as Independent in the constituency that he has represented for 41 years and is still, at time of writing, representing.
Corbyn is very high profile, and of course has been the MP since 1983, over 40 years.
It seems that local Labour has been frozen out of the selection process, and that Starmer or his minions on the Labour NEC will select the candidate. Apparently, there are several not-unlikely possibilities, and a few political chancers, such as faux-revolutionary (and System msm drone) Paul Mason, will probably also apply.
Assuming that Corbyn does stand (as Independent), I think that he might be able to win the election, and I should put his likely vote-share at somewhere around 30%-40%. The official Labour candidate will probably also get about 30%-40%.
There is likely to be a Reform UK candidate, who will probably get below 5%, and possibly (as with UKIP and Brexit Party in previous elections) only around 1% or 2%. The Conservative candidate will almost certainly struggle to get over 10% and, in the present circumstances, may be in lost-deposit territory, below 5%.
It is possible that the LibDem candidate will score over 10%; hard to say.
My view is that, if Corbyn does stand, it will be a straight fight between him and whosoever is selected as the official Labour candidate. Corbyn surely has every chance, if he stands (I think that he will).

Many others exist, including Julia Grace Patterson, a woman who worked as a very junior NHS doctor for about 2 years before deciding that it was easier to live from online “grifting” in various ways, while also posing online as some kind of champion of the crumbling NHS.

Exactly.
Hear the words of the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, the catastrophe which ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians. None have ever been able to return.
Many readers will be aware of the social media presence of a Jew-Zionist called Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (part-time criminal and civil judge), whose toxic social media presence has led to his being given formal “words of advice” (equivalent to a caution) by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.
I have blogged a little about Myerson in the past; he used to tweet obsessively about me and others, and is tied up with the two organizations who have tried to persecute me over the past 10-12 years, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].
Recently, Myerson’s sworn testimony in the civil case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor was discounted by the judge, along with that of other unreliable Jewish witnesses (Nathan Comiskey, Joanne Bell, Adam Cailler).
The Jewish defendants lost out, and at least one may have to sell his family home to pay the costs of the Claimant, he (the defendant in question) plainly having been misadvised by self-seeking Israel-based Mark Lewis and others.
One defendant, Newbon, another obsessed Zionist, committed suicide during the trial. The attempt to ruin a university lecturer, James Wilson, and make money out of it for Lewis and the defendants, backfired spectacularly.
Despite the above, Myerson is still practising at the Bar, and (as far as I know) still sitting as a Recorder.
He is an obsessive, like so many of “them”. Here we are at 1300 hrs on a Thursday afternoon, and Myerson has already tweeted 39 times today by my count, starting at about 0800 hrs this morning. So about 8 times per hour, for 5 hours (so far).
I have no idea whether his practice is busy or not.
Should Myerson be sitting in judgment over the fate of British people?
For more on that specific legal case and the fallout therefrom, see previous posts on this blog and/or the tweets of the successful and brave Claimant in the case, James Wilson: https://twitter.com/per_incuriam2.

A classic of the Mark Lewis genre.
“Your claims are devoid of merit.”
“I have also made it clear that any costs order will be enforced.”
Three years later, one of his clients is dead, two are facing bankruptcy, and one is going to lose his home.
“Here’s an angry email from Patron’s partner Alexander Zivancevic. My view is that there is no blackmail, there is no harassment, there are no threats, and there are no mindless emails. My position is: Patron Law led its clients – Mr Mendelsohn, Dr Newbon and Mr Cantor – into disaster. And Patron Law ought to pay to get them out. Mr Zivancevic is annoyed and threatening because all this is going to cost him some cash. But it’s fair enough that he coughs up some cash to protect Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor? What do you think?”
I myself have no idea whether the defeated and possibly insolvent Jewish defendants will now seek to sue Mark Lewis and others, including Patron Law, on the basis of professional negligence, but it seems that that is a distinct possibility, if not probability.
Lewis himself has no property in this country, having “relocated” (fled?) to Israel several years ago. Indeed, just before he left, and at the time of his “conviction” in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (for violently insulting people on Twitter etc), and just before he moved “permanently” to Israel, his own Counsel pleaded that he should not be fined too heavily because his “only assets” were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter. Even his car had been provided for him for free, paid for by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers, via the DWP-connected Motability scheme. The so-called “top libel lawyer” (according to the tabloid Press in years past)…
Egregious on its own, but also interesting in that Lewis is apparently a partner in that Jewish or mainly Jewish law firm, Patron Law, based in West London. If Lewis is sued (successfully), it may be the case that the other partners of that firm will be jointly and severally liable, if joined to the putative or potential action.
It is not unlikely that the laws of both libel and business or professional partnership have changed over the past few years. I no longer bother to keep up with most legal changes.
Well, there it is, my opinion (which must now come with a non-governmental health warning…).
I have to say that Mr. Wilson is a far more forgiving man than I am. Those Jewish defendants were trying to ruin Wilson and, even if they have been used and bamboozled and manipulated by their fellow Jews, deserve to suffer the consequences of their own badness, in my opinion.
Maybe it’s a Patron Law thing that, where the other side try to do the right thing morally, Patron Law accuse them of blackmail… https://t.co/DA8zG2N33w
“Blackmail?! Well there’s a coincidence. It is so weird. Before the “meanings” judgment was signed off and approved in my case, reading the draft I could see that it was not going well for the other side, that there would likely be further publicity which might be damaging to them and I did not want to cause them any harm. Like the old Buddhist hippy I am, via my sols, I made an offer that was pretty much in the same terms as the settlement we eventually ended up with, suggesting settlement before the judgment was handed down, and then we could ask the judge if he’d be willing not to hand down judgment in those circumstances. My offer was refused as “blackmail”. The judgment was delivered, and published on the BAILII website. The other side then settled. I don’t get it.” [tweeter Cremant Communarde “@0Calamity”]
…or maybe it’s just a (((you know who))) thing…
👀 I am getting closer to publishing evidence which creates a clear moral case for Patron Law to pay my costs.
That would mean the nightmare is over for Patron’s former clients Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor.
Needless to add, a “moral case” would not cut it; only a clear legal case would do that.
I wish Mr. Wilson good luck, and victory.

I later tried to contact the air ambulance people, only to discover that their telephone (the real one— I looked it up online) is an automated message which then switches to a line that then goes dead almost immediately. I emailed them via their own website but (about a week on), I have had no reply, nor even an acknowledgment.
I believe their CEO gets about £150,000 a year, maybe more, and that their total administrative staff salary spend (ie not pilots, not doctors etc) is about £700,000 a year. P*** poor.
I myself would never now give to Hampshire Air Ambulance, whether or not the bozo at the door was bona fide.
People should be banned from fundraising at the door anyway; it’s an open invitation to rip off householders.
The same goes for most of the larger charities as well. The higher-up staff are often getting £100,000, £200,000, even £400,000 a year. Forget it.
Bloody hell. I gave him the collection from my mums funeral. I'm beyond shocked. Is anything real anymore. Is everyone a scammer? I feel cheated, demoralised and cynical. I saw his defence that the house he bought for his family- he uses rent to buy food for the needy! He has
“He has completely missed the point that he owns the house! Is this not fraud? After Captain Tom foundation debacle – nothing is sacred anymore. Money corrupts people. I for one will not give to charities like this again.” [tweeter Martina J, “@MartinaJ70”].
I can only agree.
Captain Tom's daughter.. The hero plumber… Who's next.. Jack Monroe? British legion?
How many sacred cows are left?

Ha ha! Tweeter “@ACSpinner” has obviously slept through the past 2-3 years or more, during which time “Jack Monroe” has been comprehensively exposed as not only a “grifter” but a literal fraudster (though for some reason unknown, she has not as yet been prosecuted).
Outed amongst a small cadre of people online but not by MSM who bought into her grift 100%

Flashback one month as Robert Fico warned that the (Remainer style) media campaign of hatred against pro-peace voters and politicians would lead to violence & assassinations.

British intelligence warned the Ukrainian authorities about the preparation of a Russian offensive in the Kharkov region. Unprepared defensive lines, delays in the supply of weapons, and a lack of manpower prevented it from being stopped – The Guardian. pic.twitter.com/iCqdIxEfaa

Quite so. The Kiev regime, as I have blogged for over a year now, is running out of soldiers, even the untrained cannon-fodder which has been pointlessly dying in waves over the past two years. As for those “unprepared defensive lines“, they merely emphasize the shambolic and corrupt nature of the Kiev regime.

The Russian Army stormed the fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Volchansk – the central hospital. pic.twitter.com/F4hMX9Kybw
The Kiev regime has run out of “useful idiots” willing to volunteer to be killed or crippled on the chaotic and crumbling front lines. The foreign idiot virtue-signallers (unemployed Brit ex-private soldiers and adventure junkies, American Soldier of Fortune readers etc) have long since gone home, or been killed. Kiev now press-gangs people off the streets to be sent —on pain of the firing squad— to the front. Few will return. No wonder they put up a serious fight before they are “recruited” and have to face the guns.

“The Russian army is reportedly advancing on the Kharkov front, with reports indicating a storming of Liptsy. Ukrainian sources confirm the developments, stating that Russian infantry is launching attacks from the forest west of Lukyantsy, situated on the eastern outskirts of Liptsy. Heavy fighting is also reported west of Volchansk in the areas of Burgovatka and Starytsya, according to other Ukrainian sources.“

I look at Britain and muse as to whether that can be said (can yet be said) about this country. I am unwilling to say so —yet— but that is probably the heart ruling the head, to be frank.
