Shocking.

Only white English/British persons should be MPs, elected officials, judges, barristers, armed forces officers etc.

A big anniversary is not so far off now— 1933-2033.

[“I am now under investigation for a ‘Racially Aggravated Public Order’ offence following an allegation of ‘Holocaust Denial.’

This is a calculated conflation designed to criminalise my anti-Zionism by falsely framing it as Holocaust denial and ‘antisemitic.’

I have been hesitant to share anything on social media recently, as I am currently navigating the immense weight of an oncology referral. For weeks, I have existed in a state of torturous limbo and psychological paralysis – teetering on the edge while awaiting medical confirmation.

Last night, I was met by police upon disembarking the train from an Oncologist appointment in London. A passenger (who had apparently overheard a conversation I was having with another passenger) reportedly contacted the British Transport Police by text, stating they felt ‘uncomfortable’ because they claim I had allegedly made reference to – and specifically ‘denied’ – the Holocaust.

I will state categorically: I have, for some time, absolutely expressed my deeply held anti-Zionist beliefs in criticism of a nationalist and racist ideology. I continue to draw a clear, vital distinction between Judaism and Zionism.

This is not ‘Holocaust denial.’

As I stated to the police, my own grandfather was Jewish.

We are living in the prophecy. The Orwellian enforcers are no longer fiction. Free speech is dead. Two-tier ‘justice’ is the new standard. And eventually, the hammer falls on everyone. I am living the warning, and have been for 6 years: once you’re in their sights, the cycle is eternal.

That said; I am not, in any capacity, a racist or ‘antisemite.’ I have spent over half a decade relentlessly fighting for truth, justice, peace, and freedom for all people – regardless of faith or race.

While I am drowning in the weight of a constant, killing obligation – a life spent tired, broke, and broken by sacrifices that the system uses to bury me… I still continue the fight.”]

In fact, as blogged for several years, and as repeatedly declared by the courts in England, neither “holocaust” “denial” nor “antisemitism” are crimes in England.

One of the major problems in this country is that the police, particularly at ground level, are often unaware of what the law is, and so what is either lawful or unlawful. On the face of it, the above tale illustrates that.

We saw, in the whole national nonsense-panic of the “Covid” scam of 2020-2022, how the police (infected by the Common Purpose cancer) tended to take it upon themselves to make up laws and make up new powers for themselves, and so attempt to stop people from going for walks, or sit on park benches, or use the roads, or go shopping etc. Some police woodentops even examined people’s supermarket purchases to “check” whether they were “reasonable”! This is not “conspiracy theory”. It happened. It happened in this country. It happened only 4-6 years ago, at that.

At an educated guess, the passenger who called the police in the above story was yet another of the often seen Jew-Zionist troublemakers, one who (as far as one can see from the tweet) did not wait around to say anything in person.

My educated further guess, therefore, is that he/she will never testify in court as to any “anxiety” or whatever that he/she may pretend to have suffered as a result of having eavesdropped on the conversation of others. In any case, as already stated, neither “holocaust” “denial” nor “antisemitism” are, without more, crimes in this country.

It does remind us what sort of semi police state we now live in, though, and what types are behind most of that.

The lady tweeter seems to be under the misapprehension that “holocaust” “denial” and/or “antisemitism” are crimes in England. They are not.

Someone should tell that lady as much, in view of the fact that she, suffering from a diagnosis of possible cancer, is also now suffering by reason of the operation of the present toytown police state made worse by Starmer-stein and his satraps.

[“Are people like myself and @CoviLeaks safe in London where our police chief, Sir Mark Rowley, has meetings with Israeli assets and lobbyists?

@metpoliceuk These two cops showed up at my door this week claiming I had been reported for ‘anti-semitism’ on my ‘Golders Green’ report. They were confused about the whole thing, including whether the person who reported me lived at my address! They didn’t know if the allegation against me was true or not (it wasn’t) but they were still sent out to threaten and intimidate me on my doorstep. They wanted to come in. I said no. In part, because my dog was kicking off at their presence but also because I knew my neighbour’s ring camera would capture the whole thing – and it did. Last night @CoviLeaks was met by a police officer when she exited a train because some a-hole took offence to her zionist-questioning conversation.

@10DowningStreet these are attacks on our free speech on behalf of a foreign state but you can bet your life that the ‘Free Speech Union’ won’t be interested because the man running it – Lord Toby Young – is a director of British Friends of Israel Ltd.

@toadmeister We are a captured nation and this week I will be taking action. I will not be scared into silence.“]

Brava!

Another example, on the face of it, of uninformed police people sent on a mission the aim of which seems to have been socio-political intimidation by “the usual suspects”…

Again, though, there seems to be a background belief that “holocaust” “denial” and/or “antisemitism” are crimes. No. They are not crimes, as such, not in England.

Starmer-stein’s recent pathetic kow-towing to the Jewish/Israel lobby was a blatant attempt to keep his undeserved position as, or posing as, Prime Minister, and to do that he was willing to remove even those few free speech rights left to the people. An evil little bastard.

The present Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is now apparently doing the same at his lower level, so seems to be another enemy of the people.

More tweets

Looks like not very many turned up, looking also at other tweets. “What if they held a demonstration against ‘antisemitism’ and nobody came?“…so to speak.

GB News Irish reporter-drone talks about “thousands” attending in Whitehall. Looks to me more like hundreds. When you think that Jews in the UK number 250,000-300,000, and that most live in the London and surrounding (Hertfordshire/Essex etc) area, not a very impressive turnout.

One of the few photos showing much of the crowd at that Jew-Zionist demo. Hundreds, yes, thousands, no.

I expect the TV news shows will play along, though, and talk about “thousands“, or even “tens of thousands“…

Out of well over 200,000 Jews even in the London area…

Seems that the Nigerian woman presently “leading” what is left of the Conservative Party was at that Jewish demonstration.

Also, seems that Tice was there. Reform UK was underwhelming even before it became overtly pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby. Now, it is dead for me, except that it has the potential to kill the rigged Con/Lab political system over the next 2-3 years, so I support its rise on that basis. Later, we’ll see.

Buffoon LibDem, Ed Davey, also turned up to pledge allegiance to “them”…

Noticeable that no mainstream political commentators are bothering to tweet about that Jewish demonstration. Underlines how marginal or peripheral it is.

Allison Pearson is a sadly-dim msm drone and scribbler; writes about “free speech“, and whines about having had the police at her door, yet makes common cause with the Jew-Zionist lobby which is behind most of the assault on free speech and freedom of expression in the UK.

…and there we have yet another non-European Reform UK candidate and now office-holder. It feels at times almost as if Reform is “taking the p***”.

[“I have a lot of Jewish friends and none of them voted Tory this time. She is part of the antisemitism problem – she backs Netanyahu no matter what and refuses to recognise Palestine. That is a complete break with long-standing Tory policy. As for “outperforming”, she suffered catastrophic losses – in my area losing control of 2 county councils and she was beaten in her own backyard meaning she is likey to lose her seat. CCHQ seems unhinged.”]

Labour’s supposed Great White Hope, Burnham, is not even an MP, so if Starmer-stein goes, and a leadership election held so, Burnham will not have the locus standi to contest it. If someone else takes over, then Burnham may find a seat but (unless willing to trigger yet another leadership contest), be unable to become Labour leader prior to the next general election.

There is also the point that, while it is not mandatory to hold a general election merely because a prime minister has stepped down, not to do so gives an impression to the voters of illegitimacy, that the new incumbent is afraid to hold a general election, and that he or she is clinging to an office not fully-legitimately occupied.

The problem for Labour is that, even if Burnham were to be anointed as Leader of Labour, any general election in 2026 would probably still be disastrous for them. Maybe not as disastrous, and leading to maybe 150 MPs rather than the 100 or fewer predicted by present opinion polling, but still pretty poor.

Typical. Former (?) little cocaine-abuser Toby Young, who runs the fake “free speech” org called “Free Speech Union”, suddenly does not want free speech or reportage, or comment, if the speech, reportage, or comment says anything critical (honest, accurate) about the Jews and/or Israel.

Needless to say, Young’s fake free speech org also said not a word to support my free speech, or that of –to take a few examples out of many— Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, Sven Longshanks, Nick Griffin etc.

Toby Young. Hypocrite. Puppet.

Cat fight?

Late tweets

Not so much the worship of the Golden Calf as worship of the gold-plated bullshitter…

I can only think of one good thing to say about Angela Rayner: she did not turn up today at the Israel/Jewish lobby protest in Whitehall.

Were I to say what I really think of Starmer-stein —unexpurgated version— I should probably have to endure the boredom of having to interact politely with the ground-level operatives of the new “British” toytown police state, at my door once again, so I leave it to the imagination of the readers of the blog.

If Starmer-stein is replaced, his replacement will face a dilemma— either call a general election to validate the change of Prime Minister, which is not constitutionally “necessary” but is politically necessary, or just hang on until the polling looks better for Labour, which will probably never happen.

The latter must be tempting, but has not worked out well in the past for those in such situations; Sunak, Gordon Brown, James Callaghan etc.

That dilemma is made more difficult by the fact that, on present polling, Labour might well, in a 2026 general election, lose all but a relative handful of MPs (some polls indicate that the survivors might number as few as 37, and few if any polls have Labour with more than 150).

At present, Labour has 403 MPs out of 650. In other words, if a general election were to be called this year, the likelihood is that at least 253, and possibly 366, would lose their seats.

Basic Income is one necessity or at least near-necessity.

Well said.

Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea.

Ukraine

The horrible bloody mess gets worse. The Russian General Staff and GRU, as previously blogged, both need shaking up. Much. Also, it seems obvious that those orgs, and the FSB, and possibly SVR, are (to quote Major Strasser in Casablanca) “riddled with traitors“, in this case probably in the pay of Western intelligence agencies.

Russia has been here before, in the First World War, when a combination of incompetence, negligence, and treachery led to huge losses against the German Empire of the time.

The lost war, effectively a lost war, of 1914-1917 led directly to the first Revolution of early 1917, followed some months later by the Leninist/Bolshevik seizure of power.

As previously blogged, if Russian forces had executed in Kiev and elsewhere the kind of swift and overwhelming Blitzkrieg and coup seen in Kabul in 1979, there would have been almost no civilian harm, little bloodshed, and we would not be seeing the present agony, which will be made even worse now by the funnelling of Western arms to the forces of the Kiev regime.

As the military commentators in London and Washington have noted recently, and many others saw weeks ago, the Russian military machine is sluggish, as it has been throughout much of Russian history. I admit that I myself thought that the reforms and upgrading since 2005 must have improved Russia’s capabilities. Seems that I was too optimistic in that. If so, I was not alone. Putin, too.

The problem Russia has may lie partly in the inflexibility of its officer training. When German forces attacked Russia in 1941, intercepts of Red Army communications recorded Red Army and Air Force officers frantically asking Moscow by radio and telephone, “We are under heavy attack by German forces. What shall we do?

The German officers of the 1930s and early 1940s, including general officers, were famous for their quick reactions and boldness, which resulted in stunning victories on all fronts.

The Israeli Army (IDF) learned lessons from the Germans of WW2. It is said that their General Staff officers in training are given a week to formulate a plan of attack on specific criteria of geography, forces, equipment, supply etc. A day before the presentation, they are told that the criteria have changed radically; they are ordered to formulate a new plan. A short time before the presentation, perhaps only 10 minutes, they are told that the situation on the ground has changed completely again, and that a new plan must be immediately adopted. The exercise then proceeds on that basis.

That is the kind of flexible improvization that the Russian command structure seems to lack.

Present situation:

[state of play as of 17/18 March 2022]

As blogged yesterday, Kryvyi Rih [Krivoy Rog] is the only large urban area between where the Russian forces west of the Dnieper now are, and Kiev. However, the distance in between is 260 miles.

If the Russians can take Krivoy Rog, and hold it (the pre-invasion population was 635,000), then the southern flank of Kiev lies open.

The Russians cannot lose the war, as such, unless they become so depleted in men, arms, and supplies that they have to withdraw from areas now under their control or, ultimately, into Russian Federation territory. That last would be taken to be a defeat in the whole enterprise, and is very unlikely.

The Ukrainians, by contrast, cannot win the war in the sense of defeating the whole Russian Army, Navy, and Air Force, but what they can try to do is to hang on to their main fortress-cities of Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, and Dnipro [former Dnepropetrovsk], the four largest cities of Ukraine, and to carry on a kind of guerrilla war (but with advanced weaponry) elsewhere, as well as denying Russia occupation of most of western Ukraine.

Next moves? I cannot see Putin simply giving up. That would be psychologically and indeed politically crushing for him. In any case, his forces are carrying out the present plan, but at only glacial speed.

Kiev is slowly being encircled. Other cities, in the east and south, the same. There is a slow, agonizing, vice-grip closing on the southern coastal cities. Odessa is being rocketed and shelled now, from the sea.

All of the southern and eastern cities (except Odessa), and Kiev, must be running out of food. The Russian forces may also be running low, but can be resupplied.

The Ukrainians (Kiev regime) say that Kiev cannot now be taken. A bold claim. I have no idea whether that claim is true. Is there a city which cannot be taken?

There is, I suppose, a “Devil’s alternative” possibility, that Putin will all but destroy the remaining eastern and southern cities, and drive out the whole Ukrainian population of those cities to the west and to other countries. That would be a terrible thing to do, a terrible thing to happen.

Tweets seen

As expected. How long, though, can a city continue to resist when food stocks run very low? There were 400,000 civilians stuck in Stalingrad when the city was attacked. Stalin refused to allow evacuation. However, the Soviet forces and others could be resupplied, up to a point, across the Volga.

If Kiev were to be surrounded, which as yet has not happened, the Russian forces would interdict resupply to the city, which still has, it seems, about a million civilians and others within its boundaries.

I am presuming that, following bombardment, the battle-hardened Syrian mercenaries being recruited by Putin via President Assad of Syria will be used for the inevitably brutal close-combat penetration into the central parts of Kiev.

An example of the human cost of the war. The Kiev regime has made the most of the public relations aspects of the conflict, to which (outside Russia itself) Putin seems oblivious and uncaring.

Putin may consider that there is no point now in trying to show any better side to the world. That being so, he may have few scruples in pulling out all the stops to achieve something that can look (especially within Russia itself) like “victory”.

As for the peace talks, it seems doubtful that they can succeed, even in bringing about a temporary all-Ukraine ceasefire.

If a ceasefire occurs, it gives the Ukrainian side the opportunity to import more free advanced weaponry from the USA, UK and elsewhere. True, the Russians would have the same kind of opportunity (resupply of arms and ammunition from plants and factories in Russia), but they need it less. Hard to see how a ceasefire could benefit the Russian side.

The Zelensky government is not going to agree that the “Russian” provinces of the southeast can break away and either join Russia as annexes, or become autonomous republics of Ukraine, let alone independent republics.

Likewise, Russia gains little from any Ukrainian pledge (even if credible) not to apply or to join NATO, in view of the fact that NATO at present is disinclined to admit Ukraine anyway.

If Russia withdraws its forces from Ukraine, it will have, without question, lost this war, and Ukraine will in time then build up a formidable army, and maybe even a nuclear weapons capability.

There is another point: even were there to be a quasi-permanent “peace” agreement going beyond a mere temporary ceasefire, the Western sanctions will continue, perhaps indefinitely; certainly as long as Putin rules Russia. Where, then, is his incentive to sue for peace?
