Diary Blog, 22 August 2025, including news about the fanatical Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”)

Those two fanatical Jew-Zionist organizations have largely-overlapping memberships, and work in concert.

I am unsure as to whether that tweet by one Fahad Ansari is true or not. I have been unable, at this time, to find any confirmation. Will clarify as and when.

Incidentally, the “CAA” tweet is itself mistaken, in that it describes Franck Magennis as “an officer of the court“. Magennis is, I now see (I think I was unaware of his existence until today or yesterday), a barrister: https://gardencourtchambers.co.uk/barrister/franck-magennis/.

Solicitors are, by statute, “officers of the court“; barristers are not. The distinction arises out of the historical background, going back hundreds of years, of the two main branches of the legal profession in England and Wales.

A few of my own experiences of “CAA” and “UKLFI” activity:

…and take a look at the case of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor (use the blog search box).

The now-washed-up self-promoting Jew-Zionist fanatic and solicitor, Mark Lewis, involved in James Wilson’s case, was and I think still is a prominent member or supporter of both the “CAA” and the “UKLFI”, at one time prominently featured on the website of the “CAA”.

Lewis is currently quite likely facing (not for the first time) both disciplinary action by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority (SRA), and legal action by at least one former client (on grounds that may include professional negligence and civil fraud).

Simon Myerson, barrister based at Leeds, and briefly a Recorder (p/t judge), whose vituperative behaviour on social media led to his effective dismissal from the Bench after a few months, and who (I believe) may face action from the Bar Standards Board, is involved in or supportive of both UKLFI and the CAA, and was a witness (whose sworn testimony was disbelieved and/or given no weight by the trial judge) in the James Wilson defamation case. Again, for more about that, see the search box on the blog.

Having now read a little about that barrister, Magennis, it seems that he is very far from my viewpoint, ideologically, but we have both been attacked by the Jew-Zionist orgs “CAA” and “UKLFI”. Sadly, in this complex world, my enemy’s enemy is not necessarily my friend…

Victim of yet another Israeli war crime.

According to the “CAA” and other Jew-Zionist orgs, anything up to 96% of UK-resident Jews support Israel in anything it does.

Anyone giving support to Israel is, thereby, to some extent complicit in its crimes.

As police fly-on-wall TV show voiceovers always say, “it’s all kicking off“…

Quite likely, and the Labour Party still has about 300,000 members (though dropping rapidly), so that might add up to 75,000 or more people, which would be fairly significant; however, the 28% figure refers to members, not voters.

The Labour Party membership, especially the activists who are or were the core of that party, were always far more radical than Labour voters . A small number of people, really.

I still think that Corbyn will struggle to achieve a national vote (assuming that his new party can even fight many seats) above 5%.

Most English white people will not vote for Corbyn, who actually seems to want more migrant-invaders to arrive (and to give them even more than they currently get by way of housing, food, pocket-money, services).

It may be that some young English/Welsh/Scottish voters, as well as some ethnic minority voters, may be attracted by an anti-Israel message, as well as by a pro-Welfare State, pro-NHS etc message, and a generally pro-multikulti orientation. Some but (in my opinion) not enough to win many seats. Corbyn seems to be in George Galloway territory, more or less.

I think that Corbyn and his candidates may be able to win in a few particular seats, including that of Corbyn himself, but I doubt that the number of seats won would be more than three or four, if that.

Only a minority, a small minority, of seats look like remaining Labour anyway; maybe 150. Corbyn’s “sales pitch” would be to a fraction of that minority of seats. As said, probably far fewer than a dozen; quite likely, well under half a dozen.

In fact, it is an open question as to whether even Zara Sultana, Corbyn’s deputy, will retain her seat (at Coventry South). As a Labour candidate, she got over 47% of the vote in 2024, but next time that vote will be split between her and the new Labour candidate. Also, the Conservative vote in 2024 was nearly 24%, and the Reform UK vote over 13%. If the Con vote collapses further, Reform might get a vote, on that basis alone, of 30%+.

In 2019, the Con candidate got 42.5% of the vote, Labour (Ms. Sultana) only slightly more (43.4%). Brexit Party got 3%.

In both 2019 and 2024, the Con Party put up the same candidate, an Englishwoman, I believe. She nearly won in 2019.

Add to those factors the disaffected 2024 Lab voters deciding to cast their lot for Reform in 2028 or 2029, and one could easily see Reform getting over 40% at Coventry South, with official Labour and Ms. Sultana sharing 30%-40% between them. Exit Ms. Sultana?…

National Socialism, Communism, and other radical movements did not, and do not, come out of nowhere.

Incidentally, note the facial features of the “Bonzos” there.

Actually, thinking about it, does that not bear at least a certain passing resemblance to the UK in 2025?

In fact, here I stand somewhere in the middle. As society is now, not in 1800, or 1900, or 1960, there is a problem with —usually quite mediocre, at best— people inheriting, in some cases, tens of millions, in some cases hundreds or even thousands of millions. We all know the more newsworthy names— McCartney, Beckham, Jagger etc, but there are many others not so prominent in the gossip columns or even the financial pages. Some have wealth far beyond that bestowed upon popular music people, footballers etc, and/or their offspring.

Personally, I think it acceptable for people to inherit a modest amount, arguably up to £1M, but not £10M, certainly not £100M, £1BN or more.

This is a difficult and complex question once you get beyond simple cases. There are knotty questions of landed estates, trusts, tax avoidance offshore etc. A near-confiscatory tax regime is hard to enforce in anything approaching a free society. What I do not agree with is the out-of-hand dismissal seen in Matt Goodwin’s tweeted comment. The question or questions should be addressed.

There are, at present, only two serious contenders re. the next UK general election—Reform UK and Labour.

[“Several generations have perished”: a horrifying number of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine revealed From a recent leak of military documents, it became known that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 1.7 million people since the start of the full-scale conflict with Russia, writes MWM. The death rate of Ukrainian conscripts is very high, and in areas with intense combat, the life expectancy of servicemen sometimes amounts to only four hours. The Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered especially heavy losses during the invasion of the Kursk region, as they were encircled by Russian troops who attacked from several sides simultaneously. Against the backdrop of this news, more and more supporters of the regime in Kyiv are saying that Ukraine is on the verge of complete military defeat.]

As always, “they” seek control…

The recent Israeli attack on Iran has no doubt convinced any waverers in Iran that the only meaningful defence against Israeli aggression is to match the Israeli Jews in nuclear capability. Israel has created its own nemesis, as in a Greek tragedy.

One could also imagine Iran employing fleets of drones to exhaust the Israeli air defence shield, then using hundreds, even —in a future year— thousands of powerful conventional-warhead missiles, to overwhelm the remaining Israeli defences and to level the Dimona nuclear site, the Ben-Gurion airport, and Tel Aviv itself, without even having to use nuclear weapons.

Of course, Iran is a long way from Israel (at least 1,200 miles border to border), far beyond the flying distance of most drones at present, though some of the most advanced ones being used in the Ukraine war can reach about 600 miles.

Time will tell, but I think that Israel is doomed.

Not so sure about that. The protests may be at present mostly “peaceful” but the pressure on government comes from the fear that they may well become not-“peaceful”.

In any case, even if all the hotels are closed, the migrant-invaders will not be eliminated but will simply be hidden in the multikulti trash “communities” which now scar much of Britain. The taxpayers will pay out for either social housing or expensive private housing for the invaders.

Most if not all of those cities are already ghastly; God knows what they will be like in 5, 10, 20 years’ time.

[“Liberal commentators like Nelson and Finkelstein are guilty of what philosophers call the moralistic fallacy – the belief that something *cannot* be true simply because it would be morally undesirable if it were. Let’s take their objections one by one: (1) No one is claiming that every illegal migrant is a sex offender. The debate concerns specific cohorts of young men from particular countries and the *higher* statistical risks they bring, not blanket slurs on every individual. Pretending otherwise is a cheap straw man. (2) The phrase “whipping up protest mobs” is dishonest and demagogic. Protest is a democratic right, and the anti-migrant hotel demonstrators are overwhelmingly decent, peaceful, and diverse in background. If anything, these protests are moral, given that successive governments have refused to repeal the Human Rights Act or reopen detention centres… the very measures needed to deliver on their own manifesto promises. (3) No one is “thrilled” by the prospect of ethnic violence. Quite the opposite. The idea fills many of us – myself included, and academics like David Betz – with dread. It is not something we want to happen. But intellectual honesty demands that we take the risk seriously rather than banish it to the realm of taboo. (4) The claim that white Britons face harsher treatment in the courts is a subject that needs proper academic inquiry. But the grooming gangs scandal already provide enough evidence to suggest a form of two-tier justice exists. Columnists like Finkelstein just can’t adapt to the demographic and political realities staring them in the face. They’re stuck in a New Labour/Cameron-era timewarp, clinging to scripts the public has long since stopped buying. They remind me of that tragicomic band Crème Brulee from The League of Gentlemen – especially Les McQueen, forever trapped in nostalgia, boring anyone within earshot with tales of his glory days.”]

We know what may have to happen in the end, but are “not allowed” to discuss it publicly, or to post analysis or comments about it.

In any case, the “rubber boats” invasion is only about 5% of the overall migration problem, which consists of cross-Channel rubber-boat invaders, “students”, “fiancees”, “family members”, fake “tourists”, “key workers” (mostly low-pay employees) and, last but not least, births (to immigrant mothers, to mothers whose parents were immigrants, and to white British women who have been impregnated by non-whites).

Eventually, the future will have to be faced; mass immigration and migration invasion is not the whole of it, though an important part of it. It is also cultural, social, and economic.

I agree. The judge who allowed himself to be “nod-and-wink” told to pass a truly Draconian sentence, as Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper wanted, thus showed himself unfit to sit in the seat of judgment.

On the blog yesterday, I highlighted the case of two South London thugs convicted a day or two ago of (in one incident) serious theft, grievous or actual (I forget) bodily harm using fists, feet, and a baseball bat, and serious criminal damage (wrecking a car), the victims being a man in his 50s and a pregnant woman.

Incredibly, the judge in that London case gave the defendants (one having serious previous convictions) a suspended sentence, plus a bit of unpaid picking up of litter etc, and rather modest compensation (probably will never be paid). Why? Mainly because (the judge said) the prisons are full to bursting; also because the defendants might be able to access some kind of anger-management bs.

Incidentally, Lucy Connolly may now be “free”, and able to return to her unwell husband and two small children, but will still have to undergo the boredom and silliness of being under probation supervision bs for another 22 months!

One more untermensch to be captured and put on the one-way train…

After Reform— the deluge (real social nationalism).

Incidentally, that poll would translate into a Commons with no less than 434 Reform MPs, 68 Labour, 51 LibDems, 42 SNP and 25 Cons (etc). As near to an electoral revolution as anything.

That refers to the GI Bill brought into law by F.D. Roosevelt. It gives those who have served in the U.S. armed forces free university education, free medical services etc.

In its original form, it did not extend those benefits to those who served in the armed forces of other countries. Seems that Israel has had its puppets in Congress make yet another pro-Jewish-lobby “exception”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill

Russian forces continue to advance steadily, if slowly. The Kiev-regime forces are now incapable of mounting anything beyond a static “hedgehog” defence line, and are incapable of mounting any serious counter-attack, let alone a counter-offensive.

Well, who could have foreseen that?…

Well, I had better not post anything…inflammatory…lest I end up being unjustly imprisoned as Lucy Connolly was…

Anyway, as often noted on the blog, “rubber boat” migration invasion and the consequent “asylum hotel” aspect is only about 5% of the overall problem (even less if you take into account births).

Ukrainians are starting to revolt against Zelensky’s brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Jew-Zionist regime

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14966973/Are-Ukrainians-turning-Zelensky-Multiple-casualties-reported-civilians-attack-draft-officer-bats-metal-pipes-Mykolaiv-Oblast.html

“Multiple casualties have been reported after Ukrainian officials alleged that a group of bat and pipe-wielding civilians attacked a draft officer. 

Officials said the incident took place at 2pm local time in the small village of Buzke in Mykolaiv Oblast. 

They said that the civilians, who have not yet been identified, were ‘armed with bats and metal pipes’ and ‘damaged a vehicle and inflicted bodily injuries on a soldier.

Cops are now investigating the incident, and warned dissidents that insulting the ‘honour and dignity’ of soldiers, as well as threatening violence against them, was punishable by up to five years in prison. 

It added that bringing harm to soldiers could result in up to 12 years imprisonment. 

From the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky faced an uphill battle with his countrymen, who resisted the enforced conscription into the country’s military.

Just two days ago protesters in the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia broke into a stadium where roughly 100 men were being held by military enlistment officers. 

Cops arrested several demonstrators.

[Daily Mail]

“Recruitment” (by press-gang) into the Kiev-regime army is a death sentence. They are losing a thousand or more per day on the front-line. Naturally, people try to avoid or evade.

Incidentally, “Mikolaiv” is the Ukrainian version of the original Russian name, Nikolayev. The name is from St. Nicholas.

“As of 2017, 63% of the population spoke Russian at home, 7% Ukrainian, and 28% spoke both Ukrainian and Russian equally.[50]

According to a survey conducted by the International Republican Institute in April-May 2023, 30% of the city’s population spoke Ukrainian at home, and 61% spoke Russian.[52]

Angela Rayner once more makes a fool of herself

[“You know Ange, I’ll be a bit concerned how life will be for you and all Labour MP’s once you’re out of office. I would envisage a rather bumpy road considering you’re a major player in the destruction of this once beautiful land.“]

I like almost all the responses on Twitter/X to thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner and her ostensible espousal of some of the worst untermenschen in this country. I especially like that last tweeter’s response.

I wonder whether any lone hero… well, let’s leave it there.

Destruction of Britain’s allotments is more than just a retrograde step, it is state-instigated vandalism and violence against something beautiful and worthwhile, and against a cherished part of our history.

We often see, mostly online, statements such as “the System parties, especially Labour, are traitors” etc. Hyperbole, maybe, but when you look at what this government is doing, treason really is the only word that fits, alongside evil, treacherous, enemies, criminals and the like.

The Angela Rayner type think that they can do anything to trash our country, and that they will get away with it, and then make personal money or career opportunities out of it etc.

The same goes for “unused” land owned by railways etc. A haven for wildlife, for land animals, birds, and insects.

First, Farage, Reform UK etc. Then, after that, real social nationalism.

[“Brazil has become the first country in the world to abandon the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Blaming financial and legal constraints, Brazil’s Government is reportedly withdrawing from the organisation in a move that is really more about sending a signal about where the current Government stands on Jews and the Jewish state. The move will undoubtedly be welcomed by antisemites the world over.“]

For once, that pack of malicious, perjuring Jew-Zionists, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London (though several are paid) is in agreement with me. I do indeed welcome the Brazilian announcement.

In fact, the so-called “international definition” is not legally binding, and has only been adopted by about a fifth, if that, of the states in the world.

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

Well done, Brazil. May many others follow in your footsteps.

Bravo!

[“Old or new Israeli’s won’t change the fact they all are citizens of a state that was build on Palestinian blood. The world is waking up, in 10 or 20 years or less my family will be able to go back in claim their in land in West Jerusalem. It’s not just the government its the society, it’s not just the people in that region that see’s the truth, the world now is starting to wake up. Everything in the west that was thought to the people for over a 100 years was a lie and now people are finding out the truth about history.”]

The video is remarkable. On the one hand, and on the video, the chiefs or former chiefs of major Israeli security and intelligence organizations. On the other hand, Netanyahu, his Cabinet of lunatics and/or zealots, a minority (probably) of the Israeli civilians, and those outside Israel who are pushing for even more bloodshed, destruction, starvation, sadistic treatment of Palestinian Arabs, and genocide.

Who are those outside Israel who are pushing for the war to continue? Major Jew-Zionist orgs in the USA, UK etc (such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK), and connected small groups of individuals here and there. Ugly, dead-eyed Jew-Zionists in places such as Brighton, North London, and New York, as well as wealthy and fanatical Jewish business types with American, British, French and other politicians in their pocket.

As noted in the video, the power not represented clearly is the Israeli Army or IDF. This is the foremost power in Israel, not least because it permeates the society: most Israelis are compelled to serve in it for a while and are also liable for reserve service later. So far, the Israeli Army has not refused to continue the war.

Exactly as I have been predicting for 2+ years on the blog. Labour will secretly approve most asylum claims, secretly move the migrant-invaders from hotels to social or other housing (pushing aside British people) , and approve from outside the UK in France etc most new claims, then be able to claim that Labour has “solved” the problem, or the main problem, while in fact making it even worse. Millions more yet of non-whites flooding in. Oh, and of course a tiny number of migrant-runners will be arrested, imprisoned etc, thus allowing Starmer-stein, Angela Rayner, and Yvette Cooper to claim that they have “smashed the gangs”, surely one of the least honest “policies” (slogans) ever pushed by any UK government.

How horrible. I have to admit, I have never had much time for Danish society or Danes (though I also concede that I have never actually been there).

If this is happening now, in 2025, imagine the huge wave of discontent that will be around in 2029. Reform UK will probably benefit, but my feeling is that many by then will want to take direct action against “the overall situation”, including against MPs of the main System parties. We shall see.

Diary Blog, 12 April 2025, with latest thoughts on the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, and on the continuing degradation of this country

Afternoon music

[painting by Volegov]

Saturday quiz

Ah…this week my 5/10 was beaten by the 6/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I might have scored higher but could only get the answers to questions 1, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

Wall. Squad. End.

The judge in question should be removed from the bench, having been influenced, as must have been the case, by the panicky demands of Starmer-stein on TV in relation to the street protests and connected online remarks made against the migrant-invaders.

There is no serious attempt to stop even illegal migration, while nominally or superficially “legal” migration continues at a rate about 20x greater, at least. We are talking about 500,000-1,500,000 every single year.

The major institutions of the UK are riddled with treachery.

Starmer-stein has just sent the latest tranche of British taxpayers’ money, £450M of it, to the brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev.

Meanwhile, also, Starmer-stein and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner have postponed many local council elections across England.

The Runcorn and Helsby by-election, though, has not been “postponed”, and it looks as though Reform may win it. I should have thought that Reform would smash it, but the “experts” are all saying it may be close between Reform and Labour.

True, Labour got over 50% of the vote in 2024 (Reform 18.1%, Cons 16%), but 2024 was a different world.

Since then, the Labour MP (who looked like an idiot anyway) for Runcorn and Helsby has stepped down after having drunkenly assaulted a constituent in the street. Also, Starmer-stein has thrown away billion upon billion to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), to Israel (via military assistance), and to those in Africa and Asia who hate us.

Britain continues to be invaded, daily, by literally thousands of blacks and browns (millions every couple of years); also, British people are not only having their living standards further reduced (after 14 years of equally bad and in fact very similar “Conservative” misgovernment), but having their free speech rights hacked away.

Are there really enough dummies voting, even in a once-hardcore Labour area such as Runcorn, to elect another Starmer-stein drone MP? I hope not. Former Labour voters will, I think, either stay home or vote Reform, while only the most stupid and hide-bound former Con voters will turn out to vote at the by-election for a Con candidate who has no chance at all and may well lose his deposit. Those former Con voters who mainly want to stick it to Labour have no choice but to vote Reform tactically.

There are 15 candidates [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8d4yvg1lzgo] but only Reform and Labour are of any importance.

Something has to give in the body politic. It may be that that will become apparent at Runcorn and Helsby. Reform UK is just the start of a process, however. Social nationalism must eventually arise.

More tweets seen

The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] operates, like so many Jewish/Zionist/Israeli orgs, under a cloak of secrecy. Its address is secret, its funding is secret, and most of its supporters’ names are secret. It contrives complaints to professional regulators and to the police (usually via “Slitherman”, as some call its self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”), and tries to bully both individuals and organizations.

“Slitherman” himself was exposed years ago, in open court, and by the bungling of the CAA’s Jewish solicitor, as a pseudonymous online troll, taunting (almost exclusively) women on social media; some had suffered nervous harm as a result. Since then, “Slitherman” has not, as far as I know, had the courage to give evidence (or perjured evidence) in court, but relies on backstairs manipulation of police and CPS.

Incidentally, “Slitherman” was not alone in his online trolling of women (and a few men as well). There was a whole little group. The others, though, all seem to have —permanently— stopped…

“Slitherman” himself now mostly retweets tweets from the “CAA” (quite likely drafted by him anyway).

I understand (I believe I read, anyway) that Starmer-stein, despite being a total puppet of Israel and Jewish Zionism, instructed his staff a couple of years ago not to interact with the “CAA”; in any case, and whatever the truth of that, Starmer is probably more connected to the more “established” Jewish/Zionist orgs, such as the “Board of Deputies of British Jews” and the “Community Security Trust” [“CST”].

The “CAA” has damaged itself by its constant litany of false complaints, wasting of police time, wasting of CPS resources, and by the lies and actual perjury (albeit never punished properly, as yet) of its leading members and supporters.

Graham is a complete puppet for Israel. They must pay him plenty.

All the same, it is worrying that a U.S. Senator thinks that a country with a possible (soon, or potential) 6 nuclear devices could “destroy” both Israel and the USA itself by the use of them! Admittedly, his phrasing was not quite as the tweet reports, but Graham is still a danger to his own constituents.

He must be far more afraid of Russia, which is said to possess some 6,600 such weapons!

[“Trump is not interested in continuing to support Ukraine with weapons or participating in conflicts , said Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russia Today media group and RT. “We have every reason to believe that he (Trump – editor’s note) would really like to end the war in Ukraine in one day. And he really doesn’t care about this Ukraine. And he really doesn’t want to help with even more weapons, to spend an insane amount of money on this,” Simonyan said on the air of the program “Right to Know”.”]

“While Labour is favourite to snatch the Northamptonshire seat from the Tories, Sunak’s party faces a battle even to take second place, if local opinion is anything to go by.”

[The Guardian]

Less an ordinary by-election, more a possible template for GE 2024. As I have blogged previously, there is a mood somewhere between anger and apathy, a mood which has become palpable in recent years, recent months.

The electorate now hates and despises the Conservative Party, whose governments now seem totally incompetent and ineffective. However, fake Labour is not much liked or respected either. “Least worst”, if you like.

As the Guardian report about Wellingborough indicates, that electoral mood leads people either to vote Labour as least-worst option, or to protest via Reform UK.

Sadly, no real social-national party is available.

The electorate’s present main emotion is wanting to stamp on the Government, on the misnamed Conservative Party, and on its MPs.

BBC editor was hired as an expert witness to help at least 15 Somalian criminals fight deportation – including a vile offender who sexually attacked a deaf teenage girl.

Last year, The Mail on Sunday exposed how Mary Harper, Africa Editor for the World Service, was  paid to give expert witness evidence for Somali gang rapist Yaqub Ahmed during his five-year legal battle to stay in the UK.

Now an investigation by this newspaper can reveal Ms Harper has given expert witness evidence in a string of other controversial deportation appeals by Somali offenders – including for another three sex attackers, three drug dealers and a career criminal who spent a decade in British jails.

In one of the most shocking cases, Ms Harper warned that a Somali man who committed a horrific sexual assault on a profoundly deaf 17-year-old girl would be at ‘severely heightened risk’ if he was sent back to Somalia because he had committed a sex crime.

A judge disagreed and threw out his appeal against deportation. Astonishingly, this newspaper has discovered that, 16 months later, the 29-year-old attacker, who the MoS is banned from naming by a court order, has still not been kicked out of Britain and is living with relatives in a council flat.”

Get rid of the invaders. Get rid of any who connive at the migration-invasion of this country.

Talking point: a medical episode

I do not usually blog about any medical conditions that may impact me, but in this case something wider, about the NHS, is illustrated.

When I lived for a year in Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I suddenly became almost deaf at one point. Ear wax. The wife of a Russian colonel with whom I was friendly took me to a local hospital not far from where I lived; I think that it was about a mile up the same long boulevard, Prospekt Lenina.

The treatment was basic but effective. A giant “watering can” was filled with water. I was enjoined to kneel down with my head sideways over a large receptacle. A metal cone about 2 feet deep was then positioned over one of my ears. One nurse held the cone as the other poured the water quickly but steadily into the cone.

The feeling —not pain exactly, but pressure— was almost unbearable for a second. It reminded me of a couple of experiences during scuba dive training. Then it was over, and a plug of ear wax the size of a little finger was floating in the water. Blessed relief. Hearing was restored.

I think —cannot now recall— that either the treatment was free or involved a small fee. I wanted to give the nurses themselves some money, but Ludmilla, the colonel’s wife, told me that that would not be necessary. She was always saving me from “wasting” money (and/or from the odd blonde), as when we were at the “Zilyony Bazaar” (“Green Market”), the Central Market in Almaty, and she would not hear of me having my fortune told by an ancient Kazakh woman sitting on the ground, and who used small animal bones to do her divinations. Ludmilla was a strong character, a contrast to her very easy-going husband.

The next time I had a similar problem, about 2015, the local GP surgery made me an appointment to see a nurse. I did attend, but in fact felt OK by the time I attended, and the nurse said that she could not see any wax anyway. So nothing had to be done.

Well, here we are in 2024. I was informed by the same GP surgery that they “no longer offer” any ear wax removal. A private clinic was recommended. It operates out of a small and quiet NHS hospital in a coastal village about 5 miles from my home. I made the appointment. £15 non-refundable deposit and £65 for the treatment. I could have had it done earlier, but am in fact going next week.

So there it is. Something that used to be free on the NHS now has to be paid for, or no treatment. I am not exactly affluent these days, and even a sum as small as £80 is not nothing (as the Russians say), but one can well imagine that there are many who would struggle to find the fee demanded.

The NHS is less and less useful. Here we are, with GPs earning, in most cases, £100,000-£200,000 a year, monies coming out of all our taxes (even if, like me, you are not employed, you still pay out via VAT etc), and they no longer offer what was a minor but still very useful service. A sign of the way things are going.

The NHS lost its way many years ago. It now seems, often, to be run mainly for the benefit of those employed in it.

It is not just a question of supplying the NHS with more money, or higher staff salaries, bonuses etc. It is a question of making sure that the people are offered services, and that the outcomes are good. Also, that the people needing medical (and dental) help, and their families, are not messed around and ripped-off (eg by having to pay exorbitant parking fees).

At least I myself shall not have to pay for parking next week; having been to that small hospital once before, I know that parking is free, just as in the Good Old Days (or today in the USA, France and I think almost everywhere else).

Tweets seen

Far more than 100,000, in fact.

I may not agree with all of his expressed views, but the David Morgan account is one of the best on Twitter/X.

My view too, more or less.

What would happen if ‘they’ held a (pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby) war, and no-one came?“… Perhaps we shall soon find out.

Drop Piers Morgan into the battlefield space as well, together with all the BBC/Sky (etc) pundits and know-nothings.

Demographics. The traditionally Roman Catholic —and Republican— minority [now not a minority, arguably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Northern_Ireland], was about 33% in the early 1970s, but is now well over 40% (42% in 2021 Census).

The Israelis will eventually face a group-karmic result from their present activity.

Stupid smug woman MP doing what the drone-MPs always do, i.e. spout a load of nothing. Fake democracy. As for Gillian Keegan herself— totally useless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillian_Keegan

James Cleverly should be in his element. After all, his “McDegree” was in “Hospitality Management”. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cleverly#Early_life_and_education.

I love the smell of [bs] in the morning…

Not that I disagree with the view shown in the tweet, but Reform UK is only useful to the extent that it can further and deeper push the Conservative Party into the mire.

Sign of the times. People to be arrested for what they might be thinking

The very concept of “free speech” is heavily under threat already in the UK (mainly from Jew-Zionists and the Israel lobby, and from unthinking police, CPS, and other “official” drones), but now we see that people are being criminalized simply for having it assumed that they are thinking something!

Kafka himself would scarcely believe it…

Sturgeon and her SNP crew deserve to be kicked into the political gutter.

How cheaply people are bought, though! The Scottish electorate was offered and given a few cheap trinkets for its votes: no hospital car park charges, no prescription charges etc. That, and the the promise of a wonderful affluent Independence (which will never happen).

Nothing wrong with free parking and free prescriptions, as such, but look at the wider cost to the Scottish people under Sturgeon’s poundland dictatorship.

Quite similar to, though I think slightly less pretty than, the stylish Edwardian conservatory at our (leased) house in Cornwall over 20 years ago. We also had a wisteria tree growing up a wall inside.

Late tweets

That occurred to me many years ago. Climate change (if occurring, and whether man-made or otherwise) may have as many upsides as downsides. We do not yet know.

Yes. I blogged about it at the time. Obedient rabbits lined up outside Waitrose, masked, and six feet apart (as decided upon by know-nothings “Boris” Johnson and Little Matt Hancock, and enforced by dim, black-clad, Handmaid’s Tale militia), only to rub shoulders once inside. Meanwhile, the pub across the road was open and without any restriction. Etc.

I am not a Champagne-drinker, but I might open a bottle of Krug when Gates goes up the chimney…

Last year, I woke up to a police officer banging on my door accusing me of posting “hate speech” on Twitter. I asked her what law I’d allegedly broken and she couldn’t name a single one. She had no idea what she was talking about, but told me I’d be arrested if I didn’t stop doing the things she couldn’t even tell me I’d done. Helpful! Needless to say, free speech is nothing more than a relic of the past here in the UK.”

Tell me about it! (I am now going to be sentenced “in the mags” (in March, probably)— for having blogged nothing but the truth).
