Diary Blog, 15 January 2022, including an outline of the failure of the latest Jew-Zionist attempt to prosecute me

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12096035/Labours-plot-rig-elections-10MILLION-teenagers-migrants-vote.html

“Almost ten million migrants and teenagers would be given the vote under Labour’s plot to ‘rig’ future elections, the Tories claimed last night.

Research by the Conservatives has suggested Sir Keir Starmer’s controversial expansion of the electorate would be sufficient to swing every general election.

It would include 3.4million European Union nationals who had lived in the UK before Brexit and obtained ‘settled status’, along with 2.7million more who have been here for less than five years.

The move would also cover an estimated 2.3million citizens of other countries around the world who have been granted ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the past two decades.”

[Daily Mail]

How long can it be before some form of civil war breaks out in the UK?

I have blogged in the past about various aspects of “democracy”: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/

Migration invasion

We know what will probably have to happen in the end, but if we print it, or say it publicly, we face prosecution on some kind of faked-up toytown police-state basis.

“Jack Monroe”

I have blogged quite a bit about “Jack Monroe” over the past 8 months.

“Jack Monroe” has been defrauding or otherwise cheating the public for at least a decade.

As I predicted (on the blog) would happen or, rather, not happen, there never was a libel case launched or even formally started against Lee Anderson or Martin Daubney.

Mark Lewis, the Israel-based Jewish lawyer once retained by “Jack Monroe” in another (rather simple) matter years ago, has not even emerged from his kennel in relation to the Lee Anderson non-case.

In other words, crazed “Monroe” simply made up the “libel case” and used it as yet another opportunity to extract money from mugs such as “@jdpoc” (see below).

Incidentally, Dan Wootton calls “Jack Monroe” a “celebrity chef”. Too kind. She is scarcely even a cook, let alone a “chef”. Her food mostly looks like a dog’s dinner and, from what I have read, largely consists of pasta with a bit of cheap sauce on it. She has never been trained as a “chef” or even a cook, as is abundantly obvious from the photos and recipes she used to post online.

“Celebrity”? I suppose, though only in a very minor way, and years ago. She is now pretty irrelevant, and real chefs now offer real budget food online, or in the Press.

The sort of people who regard “Jack Monroe” as a positive force rather than a lying “grifter” are the same sort that used to enthuse, desperately, about the Big Issue being a “really good magazine” rather than just a virtue-signalling bore that people (including me) might buy just as an act of charity.

That “John O’Connell”/”@jdpoc” tweeter is yet another professed “antifascist” with (admitted) mental problems. The idiot used to tweet occasionally, with one or two similarly-“odd” others, against me.

I find it puzzling that, even now, some of the more stupid or “woke” scribblers in the msm continue to promote lying “grifter”/fraud “Jack Monroe”. I also find it odd that the police have not investigated her (as far as I know) for criminal fraud. A black woman is facing trial at Bristol for, allegedly, having crowdfunded for a legal case which never happened, and she having then, or so it is alleged, kept the money for herself

Why is the black woman on trial, but Greek Cypriot sort-of “white” woman, “Jack Monroe” (b. Melissa Hadjicostas) is not? Is it “cos the Bristol woman is black“, in the adapted words of “Ali G”? Or is it because “Jack” has so many “woke” and/or LGBTQXYZ friends in the mainstream media?

Almost everything about “Jack Monroe” is fake: her biography (as recounted by herself), her background, her circumstances, her food, her way of life, her “grifting” and moneygrubbing, you name it…

More tweets

EU economic sanctions mean that Russia cannot import food products from the EU. Result? Russia simply and quite easily produces the foodstuffs itself. Check.

Exactly. As I have blogged previously, Russia, with its huge landmass (72x the size of the UK), diverse climatic zones, and scientific capabilities, can easily create an autarky.

I wonder how “secret” are those secrets?

Do not forget “the men behind the wire”.

I have no idea whether the above details are correct. If they are, persons wishing to help “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch) out a little can send him money, using the official channel: https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money.

The same details, if accurate, can be used to send cards, letters or books to “Sven Longshanks”. The address of that prison is:

HMP Swansea
200 Oystermouth Road
Swansea
SA1 3SR.

I shall be looking for confirmation of the contact details on Twitter.

n.b. Books sent to UK prisons should be paperback only, new, not used, and shipped from suppliers such as Amazon (but different prisons have different policies; some accept Amazon, some do not; if an Amazon delivery cannot be completed, you will be credited with the money after a week or two).

Israel as a state was founded on ethnic cleansing, theft, outright murder etc. “They” always try to pose as “victims”, even while committing criminal acts. Not only in the Middle East, either.

Interesting.

The real hard-line Jews now often tend to be those who, while loudly supportive of Zionism and Israel, do not want to live there. A holiday in Tel Aviv once a year is enough for them, rather like the pilgrimage to Mecca of many Muslims (though the analogy is hardly exact— most Muslims would not be allowed to live in Saudi Arabia anyway, and their religion does not have that as its ideal).

The screeching Jew-Zionist fanatics of London, New York and elsewhere mostly obsess about “antisemitism” on Twitter, or on blogs such as mine, rather than going to “settle” in Israel/Palestine.

In the old saying, “old sins cast long shadows“.

Not very long ago, the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK was given over £600,000 by wealthy Jews, many donating anonymously. From where did that money originate? I do not know. The evil “CAA” cabal is now using that money to attack free speech in the UK. Their methods are sometimes called “lawfare”, i.e. the abuse of law, the police, the CPS, and the justice system generally for malicious and/or political motives.

The West’s democracy is failing at least partly because, in many states, including the UK, the so-called “democracy” is a fake. In any case, we talk about “democracy”, but what does the term mean anyway? See my discussion at https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

Don’t forget births to that foreign contingent. Over 20 years, how many more millions?

Look at that idiot. Typical of many MPs; so many are, basically, uncultured nobodies these days, without intellect, without culture, without background.

Here he is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Clarke-Smith.

“Clarke-Smith was born in Clifton, Nottingham in 1980. He grew up on a council estate in Nottingham and was the first member of his family to go to university, studying politics at Nottingham Trent University and later gaining a PGCE in religious education. He became a teacher at an International School in Romania.”

[Wikipedia]

So below mediocre, really…

I think that the MP for Bassetlaw will be an MP for not much longer. He will then have to return to teaching, if anyone will give him a job (or he can live off the earnings of his Romanian wife, an NHS doctor, apparently).

In the old German saying, “put a beggar on a horse and he will ride it to death“…

Hancock deserves a good kicking, for several reasons.

Russia must race ahead to create as much of an autarky as is convenient in a short time.

The “musicians” play on through the night…

The more the USA, UK, other NATO states ratchet up the war by providing ever-more powerful weapons systems to the Kiev regime, the more likely it is that cold logic will eventually dictate that the Russian side will simply flatten the major cities of Ukraine and the bases and airfields from which such planes fly.

If Sweden were ever hit by a nuclear missile, say on Stockholm, that would be the end of Sweden, as a state of even marginal importance, for a century or more. Having said that, the way Sweden is going demographically, a nuclear strike on Stockholm just might result in no deaths of (real) Swedish people at all!

https://twitter.com/Gadgetstark_co/status/1656583375245934592?s=20

I like that! Looks really useful.

Can you believe that that cretin was ever a British Cabinet Minister? He comes across as the very personification of a mid-life crisis. Or possibly as a parody of one, on a TV comedy sketch show.

Having said that, look at a small selection of other idiots who have been Cabinet ministers in recent years— Liz Truss, Woollyhead Trussbanger (aka Kwasi Kwarteng), Gavin Williamson [see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/], James Cleverly, Priti Patel, Iain “Dunce” Duncan Smith etc. Not to mention one “Boris”-idiot.

We must never forget “the men behind the wire”.

This looks hopeful, on the face of it. Kennedy is all for taking away the ricebowl of the Kiev regime. At the same time, Biden is very clearly mentally unfit to continue in his office.

Economic sanctions

Economic sanctions either do not work at all or have unexpected consequences. When I visited Rhodesia in 1977, aged 20, I half-expected to see a country weighed down by sanctions imposed by the UN. What I found was a country where those who owned cars mostly drove quite new ones. The UK complied with the sanctions regime, but France, Germany, Japan etc did not, judging by the cars seen on the road. Outside the capital, Salisbury (now Harare), though, there were often empty roads— one sanction that did have an effect was that on fuel, which was rationed.

I noticed that books were hard to get. The main bookshop (I was told it was the main one) in Salisbury had few if any serious books (and none of my then-favourite Penguin Classics), but plenty of books from South Africa, most seemingly (my perception, anyway) about how to take care of your horse/dog/cat/tropical fish. You could buy Wilbur Smith adventures, another South African import [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Smith]. Also, no American or British news and current events magazines, no Time, Newsweek, Spectator etc. Rather poor South African magazines such as Scope were available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(magazine).

The dearth of serious reading material was probably the result of both sanctions and the disinclination of most Rhodesians to spend time on intellectual pursuits even of a superficial nature.

As to other effects of the sanctions regime against Rhodesia, imported booze (from Europe or North America) was almost unobtainable, but that did not affect me personally during my time there, because my main drink, apart from water and orange juice, was beer, and the local product was of high quality (Lion Lager or Simba, pronounced “Shumba“, or South African Castle Pilsner, my favourite).

The Rhodesians tried to get around sanctions by diversifying, producing admittedly inferior substitutes for previously imported products. Everything from chocolate to whisky, and even some firearms. I remember seeing ads in the local press for a highly inaccurate submachinegun called the Rho-gun. I seem to recall that the price was about $290 (Rhodesian dollars, not exchangeable outside the country officially, though I did manage to sell quite a few —at a poor exchange rate— to a businessman in Gaborone, Botswana, after I left Rhodesia).

See: https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/BHS_Rhogun and https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Rhogun. For sale to (white) Rhodesians with the appropriate permit. The Rhodesian military had far better arms, mostly either from South Africa or from elsewhere (and pre-dating UDI Independence from the UK). [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia%27s_Unilateral_Declaration_of_Independence]. See also: https://www.nytimes.com/1977/01/03/archives/travelers-get-armed-guard-on-a-road-vital-to-rhodesia.html.

I noticed that “white goods” such as refrigerators, icemaking machines etc were very expensive, whereas locally-produced food such as oranges, nuts, and biltong (meat, often beef or antelope, dried in the sun) etc was not too expensive.

As for exports (supposedly impossible under the UN sanctions regime), the Rhodesians were able to export minerals and some fruit etc. Years later, I discovered that the Soviet Union, one of the states pressing for harder sanctions against Rhodesia (and South Africa) had in fact been secretly buying Rhodesian exports (at a substantial discount). Chromium and other minerals, and Mazoe oranges (sold in the Soviet Union as “Chinese”, apparently). All shipped out of Mozambique.

Tobacco was another prime export, sold on world markets by a sanctions-busting operation based, I think, in Rotterdam.

The idea that Russia will be “brought to its knees” by economic sanctions is a pipe-dream. In fact, such sanctions help Russia in a “be cruel to be kind” way. They force Russia to diversify, and to improve agriculture and horticulture. The sanctions have also forced Russia to create new trading links, and to strengthen existing ones.

“Human rights abuses”

The next time some bought-and-paid-for “British” or American politician-for-hire, or some Jew neo-con publicist, or fake “centrist”, talks about “human rights abuses” by Russia or others, remember the behaviour of the USA itself. Here are a few examples:

More?

In tropical heat and/or blazing sunshine as well…

The above two images show the American concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, on the island of Cuba.

…the fact is that the German camp guards of WW2, and even the brutal Soviet guards in their labour camps, behaved better than the Americans have in recent decades.

Behind the executives, and the paid-for public faces, the New World Order (NWO), and much of that is tied in with World Zionism, and Israel.

More tweets seen

Unless a true movement can emerge in the UK and mainland Europe pretty rapidly, that must be correct.

Exactly.

In 2016, one of the five tweets that got me disbarred, at the instigation of two connected packs of Jews, was that describing Sarkozy —accurately, except that he is not a full Jew, only part— as “a corrupt little Jew“. Well, scroll on 6-7 years and here we are…

Incidentally, my disbarment was both wrongful and actually unlawful: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Another of the five supposedly “grossly offensive” tweets posted by me, as a result of which I was unlawfully disbarred, was that describing snivelling cocaine user and drunk, Gove, as corrupt, as a fraudster and as a freeloader, and also as being in the pocket of the Israel/Jewish lobby.

Well, any argument on that now?

Look at the above news report. Speculators and parasites are favoured by Gove’s latest policy U-turn. Not all are Jews (and not all Jews are speculators and/or parasites) but, at the same time…

So, of the five “offensive” tweets, turns out that, in fact, two were undoubtedly —and now provably— simple true statements of fact, as were also (in reality) the other three tweets in question.

Corbyn was not even decently “antisemitic”, despite the constant (((whine))) about him. In general, a complete idiot.

700,000 immigrants last year. That’s “net”, meaning maybe a million entered but 300,000 (mainly real British people going to Australia, NZ, Canada etc) left.

Britain as a dustbin.

As, I think, Lord Green of Deddington said in the Lords recently, that amount of immigration means that, just to stand still, Britain requires 300 new dwellings every single day!

Horrible little blots such as Tom Harwood are now showing tiny bits of the Green Belt as scruffy here and there. The exceptions that prove the rule— the Green Belt must be saved and, yes, improved.

Starmer can now, I hope, kiss goodbye to his desired Commons majority in 2024. Much as I want rid of the “Conservatives”, Starmer-Labour is now showing its hand…and it is looking even worse.

More tweets

It has nothing much to do with “dream of home ownership“. In any case, who wants to own a concrete or brick box in a hellhole landscape, and in which “neighbourhood” your “neighbours” may well be persons of backward culture not long off the boat (literally)?

Is that an honest poll? I wonder. Of course, the public has had 1-2 years of brainwashing or conditioning.

I wonder whether the results might have been different had the question made the point that if Ukraine joins NATO and has a war with Russia, it will be mandatory for all NATO states to join in. That is to say, it would be mandatory to join in a war against Russia which would almost certainly either be or become nuclear.

I suppose that, even were the question to elucidate the situation to the people asked, a few lunatics would still want to fight Russia, but most might think that the utter destruction of their homes and whole way of life would be a high price to pay for supporting “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime)…

Starmer still no more popular than Sunak, give or take a couple of points. Both stupid wasters unpopular with 60%-69% of the voters.

I daresay that, in a month’s time, once people realize that Starmer wants to continue to import millions of unwanted migrant-invaders, and destroy what is left of the still-beautiful English countryside so that millions of hutches can be built to house them, the popularity of Starmer —and so, Labour— will fall further yet.

The whole two-party system (with LibDem/dustbin add-on) is very ingrained. It is, in itself, a potent form of conditioning or brainwashing.

Thoughts

Thinking about that visit to Rhodesia in 1977: many people imagine that a collapsing society looks like Germany in 1945 (or 1923). Not so. I was in Poland (several times) in 1988 and 1989; also, in the DDR/East Germany, and Czechoslovakia.

The whole socialist system fell apart in late 1989. Yet the police still patrolled, the borders were maintained and guarded (until the Berlin Wall fell), utilities still worked, and there were few political demonstrations, let alone riots or the like. Letters continued to be delivered. Shops remained open, even if they had little to sell in some cases. The seismic changes were about to happen, but there were only slight external signs of that.

One got a sense of considerable discontent, talking to people in Poland and Czechoslovakia (on those visits and elsewhere as well), but the surface normality prevailed. The police still functioned, even in Poland (I myself picked up two tickets for, in the American phrase, “jaywalking”, i.e. crossing the road at the wrong place). Fined on the spot…twice. A recidivist.

Turning from those situations to the UK, there often seems to be little public appetite for swift political change. Frustrating for many of us.

We have seen, over 20 years, almost uncontrolled mass immigration (including, now, direct migration-invasion in small boats across the Channel, thousands of the bastards per day), crushing “austerity” for the poorer half of the society, ridiculous policies about the “Covid” “panicdemic” etc, an inability of Government to supply (directly, or via the private and/or third sectors) services vital to the people (such as trains, road repair, NHS or other healthcare, social care for various groups). Also, a failure to guard our borders, and a failure to clamp down on real crime (theft, drug abuse, social nuisance etc)., while kow-towing to Jewish/Zionist pressure re. social media non-crime.

Now we see idiots such as Ann Widdecombe criticizing parents who cannot afford to feed their children cheese sandwiches, while pumping billions out to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev) and to house and feed unwanted nuisances who have arrived via unauthorized Channel crossings.

Talk to people, and you get a sense of weary resignation in them, rather than anger, though that may also be there, under the urbane English exterior.

Still, there is everything yet to play for. The NSDAP vote in Germany was only 2.6% in 1928. Events happened, and the NSDAP triumphed only 4-5 years later.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/may/17/online-estate-agent-purplebricks-sold-charles-dunstone-strike

“Purplebricks, the once high-flying online estate agent that reached a peak valuation of more than £1.3bn, has been sold to Charles Dunstone-backed rival Strike for £1 with all of its more than 750 staff put at risk of redundancy.

Purplebricks launched in 2014 and received early backing from Neil Woodford, the former star stockpicker. It floated on London’s junior market, Aim, in December 2015.”

[The Guardian].

Another example of the madness of crowds, and the madness of finance-capitalism, though I concede that there are arguments to the contrary.

Remember Lastminute.com? The newspapers boosted that simple and actually not very clever idea, made an entitled/privileged and silly woman (and her Jewish business partner) incredibly wealthy in the speculative scramble, but it ended with the small shareholders all wiped out; cheated, in reality.

The woman was even elevated to the Lords by David Cameron-Levita. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lastminute.com and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Lane_Fox.

The only thing that can be said is that at least most of those small shareholders lost only a few hundred pounds, if that, their share allocations having been very small.

Lastminute is still, I think, trading, technically. I tried to use the booking service once, about 20 years ago. Useless.

As to Purplebricks, looks as if many shareholders are now left with the value of their shareholding being worth little more than 1% of the peak valuation.

Looks as though she is more or less washed up now as a public figure or minor “celebrity”, despite 430 mugs still sending her a total of thousands of pounds each month via Patreon.

“Bob from Brockley”, meaning Jew-Zionist fanatic Ben Gidley, a lecturer at Birkbeck College, London. He used to troll me relentlessly (for about 7 years) on Twitter when I had a Twitter account; a pack of Jews (may or may not have included Gidley) had me expelled in 2018).

I worked out his identity not long before other, unconnected, people did, including the well-known journalist, Peter Hitchens (another “victim” of Gidley’s online trolling). Hitchens has mentioned Gidley several times in his Mail on Sunday column. Gidley has not had the gall to threaten Hitchens (or me) with any action in defamation…

Gidley has and has had a number of other Twitter accounts, some now eliminated or frozen by Twitter: “AntiNazisUnited” was one, “InTheSoupAgain” was another.

Like so many fanatical Jew-Zionists on Twitter, Gidley seems to spend much of his time “reporting” or denouncing non-Jews (almost exclusively) to anyone who might listen. Others (I do not know about Gidley) are not content with complaining pointlessly to Twitter, so also “report” to police, professional regulators, employers etc.

What often strikes me, looking at many of these types, is how limited their world is. Many of them tweet almost exclusively about supposed “antisemitism”. Few have anything to say about anything else (except how good, they think, Israel is). Very few have anything to say about ideas for the betterment of society. It’s all “antisemitism”, “Israel”, and “Nazis”. 78 years after the end of the Second World War. All seem to hate freedom of expression (for non-Jews).

I suspect (not sure) that one of Gidley’s more recent Twitter accounts is “@Lapsedmethodist”, which purports to be an Ireland-based Twitter account mostly interested in Israel/Palestine.

I had actually forgotten about Gidley’s existence until I saw the above exchange on Twitter, but there it is, still whining about “antisemitism”, and still opposing any justice for the Palestinian Arabs displaced (killed or “ethnically cleansed”) by Jews.

Stray thought

I just happened to see a tweet (leading to a website page) by the Crown Prosecution Service. All about an event at the building now housing the Supreme Court, in Parliament Square, London. The CPS official commenting, a Sikh, stated that “Diversity was fully embraced at this event“. Well, I looked at the several photographs of groups of people attending. Out of a couple of dozen attendees, there seemed to be only one white/English person. There’s “diversity” for you— the British/English relegated to mere “me too” add-ons.

That is our future unless we do something about it. I refer to the future of the people as a whole, not to myself personally. I am already 66, and I fear for the future of the British/English people as a whole, and for our society.

[Germany 1945— “We are fighting for the future of our children!”]

Incidentally, I know that Supreme Court building. When I was a youngish barrister in London, 30 years ago, that building was still designated as Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court (despite being in Parliament Square). At that time, there was no “Supreme Court” in the UK, and the highest court was still called the “House of Lords” (Judicial Committee).

I did my first actual Crown Court trial in that building, a “section 18” GBH with intent, and secured an acquittal, despite the defendant having poured boiling oil over his assailant and then stabbed him twice (you would need to know all the details to understand why the jury came to that —just— verdict). Happy times…

That stupid old woman thinks that she is terribly clever (her time in Government suggested the opposite: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Widdecombe).

Ann Widdecombe is in fact the sort of completely out of touch individual who should never be near political power or significant office. Look at her background.

She was a student until age 25-26, after which she had her only two ordinary jobs, both low-level “gopher” ones. Unilever got rid of her (I think that she was a clerk) after less than 2 years, then she ploughed on as an “administrator”, i.e. clerk, in an office of London University for 12 years.

Imagine Ann Widdecombe’s lack of (?) ambition/talent/knowledge/usefulness until she somehow got selected to be Conservative Party MP for Maidstone (a “safe seat”) in 1987.

Anne Widdecombe has never married, never had children, and seems to have lived with her parents until quite an advanced age (seems to have been in her thirties).

Not that I disagree with all of her views. I am broadly with her on animal rights, or animal welfare (pro), on abortion (anti), and on some other issues. It is just that people like her, who have never “walked in the moccasins” of others, cannot judge social issues fairly. As the film clip above shows.

The UK Parliament is packed with people who should not be there, and that has been the case for a long time, certainly since the 1980s.

Imagine…Ann Widdecombe talking about a cheese sandwich as though it is some kind of luxury item!

I might add that if governments keep failing to deliver to the people not even what they want, but what they need, MPs and others may be shocked one fine day to see what happens, including what happens to them. Be warned.

Again, Ann Widdecombe shows her complete separation from reality.

On Twitter today, the above socio-political discussion has caused a storm, but this goes beyond Ann Widdecombe (who ceased to be an MP many years ago). It is about all the other deluded people (of various types) in Parliament and also in the msm.

Look at the fantasy politics we have endured for well over a decade— “austerity” fantasy, whereby everything was cut back because of the nonsense idea that those on unemployment and disability benefits somehow caused the financial crash of 2007-2008; the “Covid” “panicdemic” or “scamdemic”, with its ludicrous “laws” and “rules” (the “social distancing”, the facemask nonsense, the quarantine nonsense, the “lockdown” nonsense etc, and of course the “test and trace” fiasco and fake “vaccines”)…

Now we have “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) policy, the idea that the UK must funnel unlimited money, arms, ammunition, medical supplies etc to Kiev, despite Ukraine having only been a state (a failed state) for 30 years or so, despite the UK having no historical tie with Ukraine, despite the UK having no treaty with Ukraine.

Oh, and of course any Ukrainian “refugees” (many are in fact not even Ukrainian in the first place— there are blacks and browns too) who land here (many of them being in fact relatively affluent) can get, immediately, all UK social security and medical benefits. Most are fake “refugees” too (having come from Kiev or the peaceful areas in the west of Ukraine), and quite a few actually despise us and our country, yet “our” Government throws money at them, while denying British children a cheese sandwich…

Looks like someone needs to be shown the error of her ways…

Judging by the accent of the shouting idiot, in Canada.

I read that the Kiev-regime air defence forces fired off about 40 Patriot missiles in a matter of minutes last night. USD $4M each. USD $160M gone, literally in a flash. Zelensky must be thanking whatever god he may have for the US and UK (etc) taxpayers, who are funding this war. Meanwhile, in the UK, poor children cannot have even a cheese sandwich because (according to idiots like Ann Widdecombe) “there is no money“…

…and so, slowly, gradually, the states of Western Europe become more enmeshed in the Ukraine conflict. The situation needs only one or two events, perhaps not even thought-out events, and the Third World War will be triggered. Maybe not this month, maybe not this year, but sometime fairly soon. It is not inevitable, and can be prevented, but at present no-one, certainly no-one in the centres of power in the West, is even trying.

Seems that Ukrainians are lining up to join up. Oh, no, wait…

Saturday quiz

This week, I scored 7/10, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 6, and 7.

Inexorably, the war moves towards total war. The Russian side cannot tolerate forever the continual escalation.

Ukraine (Kiev-regime) is running out of soldiers. One can see why.

Hard for the Jews (in Israel) to continue to present themselves as perennial “victims” when advanced jet aircraft supplied by or paid for by the American taxpayer mercilessly attack Arab real victims, who have no means of self-defence at all.

https://twitter.com/sahouraxo/status/1657020370782769154?s=20

Comment about Starmer’s latest speech. I agree with the extract quoted by Rentoul but, having said that, one could say that “Labour” is no longer “socialist” or even broadly “social” (politically) and is (just like the “Conservatives”) also completely out of touch.

Both System parties, and both entirely in the pocket of the Jewish-supremacist lobby.

Import the uncivilized non-white world (and allow the non-whites to breed prolifically, and also fail to control them) and you import these sorts of social problems.

Not that all such problems are caused by non-whites, but most are. About 90%, even though the non-whites are “only” about 20% of the UK population, and about 40%-50% (?) of the London population.

The Eastern European states, and the poorer EU states generally, love the EU for its financial largesse, the redistribution of wealth from the “old EU” to the “new EU”. Ireland, the Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc. For the larger, longer-membership, western and central European states, the wealthier ones, the EU is disastrous. UK (until recently), France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands; also Sweden, Denmark etc.

There is also the problem of non-white migration-invasion.

The original EEC/EC was not so bad — relaxed trade and travel, even relatively easy residence and work—. It worked because the original EEC populations were closely-related northern European nations, and because it was primarily a trading bloc, not an ever-expanding political project.

There was no non-white migration-invasion, because Libya under Gaddafi, Morocco, and Algeria all stopped Africans from coming across the Mediterranean; also, the NWO had not yet destabilized the Middle East and Afghanistan. Even the Roma Gypsies were “imprisoned” behind the so-called “Iron Curtain” until 1989, and so unable to travel to the UK and other parts of Western Europe.

In the long-term, perhaps even medium-term, Israel is doomed.

The “musicians” are still playing.

“Britain’s compensation bill for victims killed or maimed by AstraZeneca‘s Covid jab could theoretically exceed £1billion, MailOnline can reveal. 

Around 90 families are currently pursuing legal action against the pharmaceutical titan, claiming the jab was essentially a defective product.

Lawyers representing the claimants believe that some of the cases could be worth up to £20m in compensation, which is roughly 160 times more than the £120,000 Government support available. They hope to be able to prove that the vaccine was to blame in court.“

I think that many people, even today, will be honest if they find a purse or wallet. In the past few years, I myself have found two or three. One was a kind of wallet I happened to see in a clifftop parking place. I was there, unusually, early one morning, not long after dawn. I saw the item in the half-light, was curious, so went to pick it up.

The wallet contained about £50 in cash, I think also a debit card, a couple of other bits and pieces, and a student railcard in the name of some girl.

I went home, thinking that the girl must be fairly local, in view of the station which had issued the railcard, only about 8 miles from that car park. Her surname was unusual, so I called the few telephone numbers (landlines) with the same name. Only one answered. An old lady, so no-go.

In the end, I drove to the local police station (its desk manned by an old fellow, a civilian support person) and gave in the wallet. I made the point that there was a large college near the rail station which issued the card, so the girl was almost certainly one of the students there.

I hope that the girl got back her money and the rest. As for what a young girl aged 16-18 was doing in a clifftop car park and (presumably) after dark, and how she managed to lose her wallet, maybe it is better not to speculate…

The second wallet was larger, newer, and packed with both money and cards (an incredible number, literally dozens, neatly and individually carefully tucked into pockets), and had been left in a shopping trolley at Waitrose. I took it in to the help desk, and a member of staff took it from me. Probably the woman who lost it got it back soon afterwards. I imagine that she must have called the store in a panic.

Not that I promise to be a good citizen if someone leaves an attache case containing a million pounds somewhere, which amount of cash could not, in my view, be the property of any honest person. No, the (so far, hypothetical) million pounds stays with me, in that event.

The Conservative Democratic conference. Hall almost empty. Rows and rows of empty seats. The photos show no more than 100 in the audience. In fact, I think that I addressed a larger audience than this one when I spoke at the London Forum in 2017.

Hard to judge the age demographic accurately from the photos, but apart from a few younger persons under 30 (possibly students), and a few youngish blonde women (possibly journalists), the audience seems to have been predominantly grey-haired or bald. I should say, at a guess, that there were more people over 70 than there were people under 50.

She looks and sounds drunk.

The USA (and therefore the world) has a problem— a plainly demented President, and the Vice-President a drunken black/Tamil Indian woman.

“There is a myth that as a country we cannot afford our state pensions. And that myth is central to Iain Duncan Smith’s proposals to raise the state pension age to 75.

But there is a problem with the premise of IDS’s bright idea. The reality is that according to the OBR, public spending on the state pension is expected to rise by less than 1 per cent of GDP between 2017-18 and 2022-23.

In the even more distant future, the OBR forecasts that by keeping the current system in place, by the 2060s when those people currently in their twenties are drawing down on a state pension, our country will only be spending around 2 per cent more as a share of our GDP.

No government wishing to be re-elected will ignore the largest voting bloc in the country, therefore there will need to be some form of income support for this group. The cost increase is clearly not beyond the realms of manageability under current forecasts.

The poorest pensioners are the ones who are most reliant on the state pension – moving the goalposts is a callous response to a rise in poverty among the elderly. Under IDS’s plans, the elderly will have to work longer in an unforgiving job market typified by low wages and zero-hours contracts. Do we really want to condemn a 70-year-old to in-work poverty? It’s utterly cruel…

Serious government policy in the 21st century should focus on how we ensure everyone from cradle-to-grave shares in the wealth of our nation. A universal basic income, a shorter working week, and the maintenance of the triple lock system: these are the policies of tomorrow.“

[The Independent]

If implemented, a plan such as that suggested by Iain Duncan Smith, under present circumstances, would mean that people 65-75, i.e. at the age where most people now are receiving State pensions, and who are often managing long-term health problems, would be made subject to the ridiculous and shambolic, yet extremely repressive DWP regime started under Labour after 2005 and then made far harsher by “Dunce” Duncan Smith (his real name is plain “Smith”) after 2010.

I do not understand how Smith has lasted this long politically, being terminally thick, having falsified his CV several times, and having cost the State huge amounts via his half-baked programmes. That is not even taking into account his own outright frauds in respect of his MP expenses. Hundreds of thousands of pounds. I also do not understand how he has survived generally. He must be well-guarded.

That last in fact is a major reason why things are as they are in the UK: instead of MPs and ministers being afraid of the people, the poor British people are afraid of the cruel, corrupt, and freeloading MPs and ministers.

Something has to be done about the state of the UK. That much is becoming obvious to almost everyone. That, however, just begs the question, in a political milieu where the main System parties are very similar in policy terms.

For once, I agree with Ash Sarkar.

https://twitter.com/KG367919716/status/1657009087450677248?s=20

She is, in a sense, correct here too, sadly. Except that she wants the UK to become non-white (like her), and I (of course) do not.

The non-European, non-white population is exploding. Their birth rate is far higher than that of (real) British people, and of course there is the continuing migration invasion, not only via small boats crossing the Channel but also via so-called “legal” immigration. All in all, over 700,000 in the past year alone.

All System parties either support or do nothing to stop the invasion of non-whites into the UK. Meanwhile, idiots or malicious grifters of the Ash Sarkar type applaud our upcoming racial and national demise.

The laws re. free speech or, rather, repressing free speech, are now so harsh that I cannot say here what should be done with System political frauds, malicious groups (both Zionist groups and those who can mainly be described as their “useful idiots”), and other enemies of the people. My readers will have to read between the lines.

Ha ha! It seems to work… More would have worked even better.

A “chimp-out”, as the Americans say…

It is more important to eliminate Zionism in the UK, France, and USA (etc) than to oppose it in the Middle East.

[FYI: I have no connection with any existing political party or movement].

Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands.

For me, socialism effectively died in 1989 (I tend not to use the poorly-defined “Left/Right” descriptors). Look at a mild version of socialism, that of the Labour Party in the UK. It veered between socialism and social-democracy in the 1956-1989 period, then chucked out its socialist elements during the 1990s, under Blair.

Look at Labour now. It is very very obvious that Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will do nothing radical to help the poorer part of the society, but will try, so to speak, “to run the workhouses better”, and no more.

Ironically, Labour might have recovered some old-style socialism under Corbyn, had he stayed on, but of course the Jewish lobby finished off Corbyn and anyone supportive of him in Labour. Most of them have been expelled or stamped on hard enough to shut them up.

Labour’s “offer” to the voting public amounts to a possibly more efficient (maybe not even that) version of what the Conservative Party has been doing for 13 years.

Labour is doing well in the opinion polls by default, purely because the “Conservative” misgovernment is so bloody awful.

Putin has more patience than I would have in the same circumstances.

1980s— catapults and rocks. 1990s— rockets akin to large fireworks. 2023— more sophisticated rockets. 2030? 2040? The Israelis must be wondering what might be coming down the track…

I find myself turning back to Nietzsche, particularly Also Sprach Zarathustra, not read for many years.

The nanny state…again.

About 22-23 years ago, I was en route from a social call in Hereford to the South Coast when the police stopped me in Wiltshire in the middle of the night. I had expected to overnight in or near Hereford, but in the end decided to drive through the night, starting after midnight.

I had had a couple of pints of cider during the (hot summer) day, and a couple of pints of Guinness in the evening. I was not intoxicated in the slightest.

The drive back was devoid of traffic. I scarcely saw any other vehicle, though I had to brake urgently when a black deer ran in front of my car before scrambling into woodland on the road that follows the course of the river Wye.

Sometime around 2 in the morning, I crossed an empty roundabout in Wiltshire and, not long after that, I noticed in the rear-view mirror a car a distance behind me. That car, a police vehicle, then blasted my car with bright headlights, so bright that they were shocking. Irresponsible. They then applied their blue lights.

I pulled over, and one of the two police approached. He asked me where I was headed, from where I had come, and why was I out so late. They probably had already checked the car’s registration (it was not my car), and so asked for no licence or insurance details. Just as well. I had a foreign licence at the time, and I find talking/explaining to the police rather boring.

The policeman had a perfunctory look and rummage in the back of the car, and then decided (on my admission that I had had a Guinness) to breathalyze me. Zero reading.

Turned out that a police camera operator had seen me cross that empty roundabout “erratically”. I was probably tired.

Anyway, the policeman was polite and friendly enough and, above all, let me go!

Still, how long before one has to blow into devices even in the car to test both sobriety and wakefulness?

True, sleepiness, like intoxication, can be dangerous to both a driver and to others, but sometimes these State control measures go too far, and destroy all freedom and pleasure in life.

Incidentally, that was both the first and the last time that I was breathalyzed. I rarely have even one drink now if driving (and drink little generally in any case). The only time in my life when I would have been driving actually intoxicated on a regular basis would have been when living in the Caribbean for a while, nearly a quarter-century ago. A few mojitos and a few daiquiris can seriously impair your driving ability…

Clever idea. BTW, I have no financial interest in the product!

The “trans” nonsense has just become absolutely ridiculous in the UK and USA.

Leaving “Madame Hatchet” aside, that is quite right, but what is not said in the tweet is that any visionaries are frozen out by the System, and also attacked relentlessly by, mostly, the Jew-Zionist element and its “antifa” “useful idiots”…

Not so sure that the graph does show that, but I cannot think of many people or types of people, who would go out and vote Conservative Party at present, certainly not from active approbation of Conservative Party policy or actual rule. The most the Con Party can hope for is that there are enough people who actively oppose the Labour Party to mitigate the losses.

Even the “stop the migration-invasion” policy (re the cross-Channel invasion) has been proven to be pretty much hot air. The invaders still flood in, aided and abetted by those who could be called many things but “traitor” is closest, albeit in the “non-legal” sense.

It is very doubtful that Starmer-Labour will do any better in any area than the present bunch of idiots but, as a plea to the voters, that is not much to say…

Once again, a battle based not on which party is most popular but which party is least popular. Not very inspiring.

Oliver Reed— quite a character. Despite the hellraising reputation and lifestyle, he could be quite pleasant and polite. My parents told me that they had met him (would have been in the late 1970s, I think, though maybe early 1980s) when stopping off for a drink at an inn on the Hog’s Back in Surrey, not far from Reed’s large Victorian country house. He was at the bar with a (male) friend, and was interesting and courteous, they said.

The conversation had ended prematurely when the publican whispered to Reed that “she’s outside!“, at which Reed and his friend ran out the back way, behind the bar. A moment later a blazingly-angry woman arrived, and said to the barman “has he been in?“, to which the barman diplomatically said “haven’t seen him“! She then stalked out. This turned out to have been Reed’s then wife, Jacquie.

Yes, Oliver Reed. The sort of character rarely seen then, and never seen now (arguende). Descended from Peter the Great, supposedly, and someone who started a romance with a 16-y-o schoolgirl when he was 42 (they later married, when she was about 21 and he was about 47).

The generality of the public want people to be either saints or sinners, but few people are unalloyedly either. “Blame and praise alike befall, when a dauntless man’s spirit is black and white mixed, like the magpie’s plumage” [Wolfram von Eschenbach, Parzival]

You see that wish of many to perceive people in a very rigid saint/sinner way in almost every political or social (or historical) scenario: the contending forces of the Second World War have to be either “evil” or “good”, despite it being obvious that bad things were done by all major forces contending.

The same is true of contemporary social or political matters in the UK. Those living on State benefits are often seen as either “scroungers” or “fraudsters” (though by some as suffering “victims” of society). Both can be true, even in one individual case, but people only want black and white, not grey.

Likewise, anyone who has served in the Army is now (following the American usage) a “veteran” and, if ever anywhere near a war zone, quite likely a “hero”, a usage that the Sun “newspaper” started in the early 1980s, when anyone who had set foot in the Falklands during the campaign was a “Falklands hero”.

Nurses of course are all seen as good, or even “angels”. Same, more or less, with doctors etc.

There is now no or very little nuance.

Funny. In 1988, when I first went to Poland, driven by a former schoolfriend who had met a Polish girl in London when I very nearly slipped into the Thames and drowned— long story…), he opined, after we had spent some weeks there (I think about 6 weeks, in the end) that maybe poor Poland, then still under socialist control, might one day overtake the UK and France, in the Biblical “the last shall be first” way. At the time, I thought it highly unlikely, but look now…

In fact, my addiction to Google Earth and its Street View has revealed to me in recent years how much Poland has changed since I was there in 1988 and 1989 (I went several times over a couple of years). The roads look better by far than most of the UK ones now, especially the motorways and main highways that now exist. As for Warsaw, completely different.

The above changes must be interesting to my then friend and driver (I did not drive at the time), who married that Polish girl a year or so later, in the Autumn of 1989 (I was the best man, and the wedding was a lavish affair held in the St. Mary Basilica in Krakov, in the main market square).

The Western msm, especially in the USA and UK, is more or less controlled, in its output, by Jews and those working in the Jewish and Israeli interest.

The same is true of, eg, UK governmental and legal systems.

Madness. Escalation of the conflict. Those missiles are not capable of reaching Moscow or Petersburg from Ukrainian territory, but are still able to reach far inside Russia. How long can it be before at least tactical nuclear weapons are used in Ukraine?

At one time, I wondered why the Palestinians in Gaza did not try to replicate the German V-1 technology of the Second World War era (which is almost all now openly available). My conclusion in the end was that the slow maximum speed of the V-1 (about 400 mph) would make it very vulnerable to Israeli jet fighters as well as to ground-to-air defensive missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb.

One has to look at the big picture— over the past 34 years since 1989, the major enemies of Israel have one-by-one been neutralized, one way or another: Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and also Libya and Lebanon. The only state of importance left standing now is Iran, which under the Shah was not hostile to Israel but became so after the Islamic Republic came into being in 1979. As for the Gulf Arabs, they are venal creatures, and have been well and truly suborned.

The difference lies in the (probable) fact that Peter Tatchell actually still believes in the idea that the UK is “a society under law”, whereas Bilderberg-attendee and Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet, expenses cheat, and fraud, Ed Balls, a globalist System politician turned businessman and talking head, knows from his own experience in government that that is now largely not the case. Yes, the UK has laws (so do North Korea, China etc), but we are less and less the kind of society we used to be, a real “society under law”.

There are several reasons for that, including the malicious Jew-Zionist lobby, which abuses law for its own purposes, and the fact that the UK is less and less a nation, as against being a place where a collection of heterogeneous peoples and types live.

That remark of Balls shows the attitude clearly: “there must have been intelligence“, akin to “we do not make mistakes” (the old 1930s NKVD slogan). In other words, the intelligence trumps any civil or legal right.

I recall in the early/mid 1980s, when a Soviet ensemble came to London (and toured the provinces as well), that there was apparently going to be a demonstration by Jews protesting against the imprisonment of Shcharansky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natan_Sharansky].

The British impressario, and the Russians in charge of the dance group, were told by a sergeant from the Special Branch that the UK authorities were aware that, on the opening night in London, there would be a demonstration by Zionist Jews, but that it would be non-violent and would consist of several Jews rising from their seats (mostly prominent seats in the stalls, i.e. near the stage) and shouting “free Shcharansky!“.

That intelligence turned out to be entirely accurate. Whether Special Branch or the Security Service, MI5, had an agent inside the planning group of the demonstrators, or whether Zionist leaders had met with the UK authorities and then been (in effect) given permission to make the demonstration, on the basis that it would happen at the start of the performance, not be repeated, and not be violent, I do not know.

I cannot now recall the name of the ensemble. I think not the Bolshoi. It was, I think, an ad hoc collection of stars from several Soviet companies. Maybe the “Moscow Classical Ballet”.

I think that the Special Branch even knew in what row of seats almost all the demonstrators would stand up.

Shcharansky was in fact freed not very long after (though it must have seemed a long time from the perspective of a prisoner in a special-regime camp in the Urals), in 1986, in a swap involving several spies. He later became a minister of the Israeli state.

To my surprise, I see that the British impressario [https://ae.linkedin.com/in/peter-b-46459b151] is still rolling; he must be at least in his late seventies now. I believe that he almost went out of business at one time (in the 1980s), but seems to have bounced back irrepressibly. There are people like that.

A nice story

As seen previously, young Ukrainians are increasingly unwilling to die for the Kiev regime and its amateur strategists.

The Kiev regime will either lose this war in the field, or by having its main cities razed to the ground.

Strange fate

Stray memories

Happened to read this, about the Bond Bug car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Bug.

I actually rode in one of them once, from Salisbury Plain to Central London. I think that it was the early Autumn of 1978. The driver was a friend of a friend, and we had all, with others, been on a 2-day parachute course.

I seem to recall that our journey to London was on a wet and windy Sunday, which might explain in part why the M4 was almost empty (actually, the motorways were not at all as crowded then, compared to today). Not the most direct route to London, but why that route was chosen, I have no idea (after about 45 years).

I remember the car rocking from side to side in the wind on the M4 (the Bug was a three-wheel car, inherently unstable at speed), and also recall the draught from the insecurely sealed plastic/rubber canopy. God knows what would have happened had we been hit by a real car, let alone a commercial truck. I have no doubt that the feeling of insecurity was well-founded. I do not think that either the driver or I myself wore seatbelts (mandatory seatbelt-wearing only came in in 1983), but I doubt that they would have made any difference. The Bond Bug would have been crushed like a beer can in any accident.

I see now from Wikipedia that the Bond Bug had a top speed of 76 mph (I think that we were travelling at about 60), and that only 2,270 were ever made. They are now collectors’ items, with some fetching around £6,000.

Travelling in the Bond Bug was almost as alarming as having to exit a plane at 2,500 ft.

Happy times? A mixed picture. Less constrained times, perhaps.

More tweets etc

Ha ha! I have blogged before about Novara Media’s ahistorical ignorance about the Russian Revolution, the 70+ years of “socialism” in the Soviet Union, and the several decades of socialism in Eastern and Central Europe.

I have also blogged about my own brief visit to the DDR (East Germany) in 1988; brief but eye-opening, as I was driven through the southern part of the country from Poland to West Germany over a couple of days.

I do not propose to repeat today what I have already written about my 1988 impressions, but in those days East and West Germany were very very different, like an apple next to an orange. Take the autobahn I travelled from Gorlitz on the post-1945 border with what is now Poland to the West German border. That autobahn was either the same as when created in the 1930s by the then National Socialist government, or a poor copy of such autobahnen. In West Germany, though, beautiful autobahnen, with smooth surfacing, proper signage etc (and an absence of the cobbles to which sections of the East German one had been reduced).

It is true that the East Germans tried to make socialism work, whereas the Poles more or less said “yes repeat no“, and carried on a parallel society underneath the official one.

Not that East Germany was completely rotten, but much of it was.

Having said that, West Germany had its own problems. Decadence. Complacency.

As for the reunified Germany, I could see when I was last there (about 20 years ago) that there had been a fall in many ways compared to when it was West Germany— rather untidy cities and towns, crowded autobahnen, and a very obvious non-European infestation in Munich and elsewhere. God knows what it must be like today.

While on the subject of socialist repression etc, just saw this:

Sudan on the TV news

Saw report about Sudan on TV news. Refugees from Sudan crossing into South Sudan (now an independent state). Except that those refugees were originally from South Sudan, and had fled war in South Sudan to go into Sudan. The war in Sudan is worse now than the one in South Sudan.

Who is trying to pick up the humanitarian pieces via aid agencies etc? The white man (from Europe or elsewhere).

How much better it would be if both Sudan and South Sudan were both ruled by Europeans (British ones, in the past)…

The same goes for the rest of Africa (including North Africa).

I saw You Only Live Twice in the cinema when it came out in 1967. I was not quite 11. I saw it at a large cinema in Manly (Sydney), and found the music very striking.

Quite. A wilful amnesia which, if anything, afflicts the UK even more than the USA.

Looks as though not all Ukrainians want to fight for the regime in Kiev.

As previously blogged, Ukraine is now no more than a facade of a state. It is entirely propped up by the NWO— arms, ammunition, money, medical supplies, you name it. Basic non-military functions of the state, such as pensions, salary payments etc, are being bankrolled by, ultimately, the taxpayers of Western and Central Europe, and those of North America.

“Free country”? Free speech?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-12055015/Loose-Women-star-Carol-McGiffin-forced-quit-Covid-conspiracy-views-row.html.

“Loose Women ITV star Carol McGiffin was forced to quit after a bizarre radio rant, including claiming the Covid pandemic was a World Health Organisation plot to take over every government.

...original Loose Women panelist Ms McGiffin also accused…mainstream news organisations of conspiring to brainwash the public, causing a mass mental health breakdown, after being ‘bought off by the Government’.

She had been a Loose Women regular from 2000 to 2013, then again from 2018.

But in her radio interview she slated the show, one of ITV’s most popular daytime programmes, hinting that she had been censored by its bosses.

She said: ‘I always look back at when I started working in television and radio as the good old days because they were much less policed, I suppose. Much less restricted and it was a freer place to be.

‘When I look back at the old Loose Womens I used to do from 2000 all the until I left in 2013, they’re completely different. There is so much offence. People take so much offence at so much and they never used to.'”

[Daily Mail]

I had not previously heard of Carol McGiffin, but that is of no matter.

Note how the Daily Mail scribbler slants the report, so that that woman is presented as rather loony: “bizarre radio rant” etc, while the report describes the often untruthful msm organizations as “reputable“.

Ha. Wes Streeting is a complete puppet of the sinister Jewish-Zionist lobby, which is the main enemy of free speech and freedom of expression in this country. The very malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and the snoop and strongarm squad “Community Security Trust”, mainly.

…and those cretins have a vote, just like you and me. Ridiculous.

Actually, I have to say, having seen pictures and bits of film of yesterday’s proceedings, what struck me was, in part, a feeling that quite a lot of it was rather unaesthetic. The word “vulgarity” came to mind, in fact.

I have seen, of course, parts of the 1953 Coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and that (maybe because it was on black and white film, and/or filmed from a slight distance) gave the impression of a kind of sacred grandeur. That, to my mind, and from what I have seen, was entirely absent yesterday.

https://twitter.com/RealBlackIrish/status/1655126966696017923?s=20

“Sacred blood“? How far back does that person think the present monarchy goes? Ridiculous.

I have been meaning to do a “Deadhead MPs” piece about Lammy for about 4 years.

Can you imagine that that creature is a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn (whereas I was expelled in 2016 after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), is an MP and Shadow Cabinet minister (whereas I live in obscurity and without position or money) and, despite his huge ignorance, is welcome on TV opinion shows, earning about £200,000 on top of the MP salary and expenses.

Nothing, arguably, shows more clearly the sheer absurdity of where we now are as a country.

https://twitter.com/countesslumann1/status/1655202000227774464?s=20

If the present Government were not utterly incompetent and completely lacking in credibility, it would have little difficulty batting away the present Labour Party but, as it is, the sheer ineptitude shown for 13 years is a gift to Labour.

Saturday quiz

Well, 6/10 this week, enough to trump the 4/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 7, and 10. In fact, I am wondering whether those question 7 products, Cabana, Prize, and Bitz, were either biscuits or magazines, but still do not know.

Incredible how “entitled” the British “royals” are, bearing in mind their low intellectual and cultural level. Princess Anne has all the charm of her late father. Never met her, but I saw her a few times, one time being at a gala dinner at Lincoln’s Inn (to which I belonged for 30 years, until a pack of Jews procured my disbarment in 2016: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/). On the occasion of that dinner, in the 1990s, she seemed to be scowling constantly.

“AI is inherently disruptive of authoritarian rule.” Really? Human authoritarian rule, maybe. AI may eventually dispense with human rule altogether. Be warned.

Britain has slowly become, over 2-3 decades (and is still becoming), a police state, though still rather a “toytown” one. Straws in that wind include, in recent years, people such as Alison Chabloz, prosecuted and eventually imprisoned for satirical cartoons and songs about Jews, and the recent seizure of golliwogs from an Essex pub.

The Jew-Zionist element is behind most of the gathering repression. Abuse of the law (eg Communications Act 2003, s.127), corruption and suborning of police, police commissioners, CPS staff etc.

Good point(s)…

The same was true, mutatis mutandis, in the pre-1933 Berlin of Sally Bowles and Christopher Isherwood. Then Hitler and the NSDAP took power, and cleaned up the city and the country.

Jeremy Vine, a typical BBC/msm drone— rather ignorant, hugely overpaid (estimated variously from about £250,000 to as much as £700,000 a year from various income-sources), and socio-politically tendentious (though he is OK as presenter of Eggheads).

American commentator not wrong about Liz Truss, but very wrong if he thinks that Winston Churchill was the first Prime Minister of the UK! There were in fact no less than 41 Prime Ministers before Churchill’s first term in office.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_prime_ministers_of_Great_Britain_and_the_United_Kingdom#Combined_timeline.

Talking of Liz Truss, saw this:

Look at her “I’ve won the Lottery” stupidly happy face. She has no self-awareness, and no real awareness of how much deeper into the mire she has pushed this poor country. She is just happy that, through (for her, happy, but for the people unhappy) circumstance, she became Prime Minister (for 6 weeks), and is invited to events as a pseudo-VIP, and also that she is going to be getting hundreds of thousands of pounds per year, indefinitely, having clambered onto the cart of a completely rotten system that rewards total incompetence.

All the same, it is desperately sad that, by reason of the incompetence of the Russian Army and intelligence services last year, there was no Afghanistan-1979 swift coup de main, seizing Kiev in the first week. Had there been an all-out Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy, most of the harm, bloodshed, death and damage could have been avoided.

Impressive, if meaningless.

“Diversity” and “enrichment”?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12051313/Mother-five-jailed-trying-hire-hitman-murder-colleague-spurned-advances.html

“A married mother-of-five who tried to hire a hitman to kill a former colleague after they had a brief fling and he spurned her advances was jailed for seven and a half years today.

The trial heard how Hewlett became ‘utterly fixated’ with Mr Belton and repeatedly sent him emails begging to see him again, as well as nude photographs of herself, but he constantly made it clear he did not want anything to do with her.

He was made redundant and got a new job at the Kinnerton Confectionery factory in Fakenham which supplies chocolate products to Tesco, but she also got a job there in order to pursue him.

She called him a ‘coward’ for not wanting to speak to her and posted comments on Facebook, saying that he ‘needs shooting in the bollocks’.

Hewlett left her job as a mixer in the ‘nut’ department at Kinnerton in August 2021, saying that she was quitting due to bullying by Mr Belton and his sexual harassment of women.

Management rejected her claims as ‘malicious’ after Mr Belton showed them emails she had sent him.”

She worked in the “nut department”! You really could not make it up!
