“More than 1,000 people crossed the English Channel yesterday, adding to the record number who have made the perilous journey this year – which now stands at over 34,000.
Some 1,065 people made the treacherous crossing on Sunday in 25 boats and inflatable dinghies, according to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), meaning each boat carried an average of about 43 people.
With a break in the poor weather yesterday, the first groups were seen being escorted to shore by Border Force officials in the early hours of the morning.”

“Those who think the threat of Right-wing nativist-nationalist populists with a penchant for the Kremlin is over in Europe have another thing coming. Inflation can do strange, unpleasant things to democratic policies — and inflation has only started to bite.”
“Just wait til Putin really squeezes the gas supplies. Moscow’s exports of gas account for only 2 per cent of Russia’s GDP. The Kremlin’s coffers are already brimming with dosh from soaring oil and gas prices, from which oil and gas producers, including Russia, have benefited.
Despite sanctions, the rouble is at an eight-year high.”

Quite. Anti-Russia sanctions have hit hard…the EU and UK, that is. Russia has not been seriously impacted. In the old proverb, “don’t cut off your own nose to spite your face“.

It is not a matter of Europe falling into Putin’s power, but a realignment, strategically, meaning Europe, including the UK, coming to a closer accommodation (“collaboration”, if you like) with a Russia which is nothing like the old Soviet Union. We have much to offer each other.
The post-1941 Atlantic alliance, America dominating Europe, has had its day. From our European perspective, it has nothing to offer us now except NWO wars, cultural trash, and a one-sided exploitative relationship seen in politics, law, and trade.
A very negative cultural influence for 40 years. Smug bastards. Take away their rice bowls.

…and look at the result— a withered arm. Does that idiot ever think “what have I done with the past 45 years of my life?“, or is he too mad and/or stupid?
“Amar Bharati left the world stunned after he was pictured with his arm raised strongly holding a stance with his fist in the 1970s.
He was a married man with three children, who worked in a bank, but in 1973 he decided to ditch his modest life in the name of world peace.
He decided to dedicate himself to a Hindu deity called Shiva, and in a bid to show his devotion he came up with the idea to lift his arm and to keep it positioned that way.“
Incredible film, but that would have been against the law in the UK even then, if the child was really working. Looking at the buildings, and the tram shown, I think that the footage was shot, probably, either in Poland or Czechoslovakia.
The independent Forde report proves that Jeremy Corbyn was grotesquely misrepresented by a hostile and unfair media. This gives Keir Starmer a chance to remedy a major miscarriage of justice, and unite the Labour Party. My new column for Middle East Eye: https://t.co/SF8TL1b5pf
“Jeremy Corbyn was grotesquely misrepresented by a hostile and unfair media.”
Even Peter Oborne cannot quite bring himself to say the unvarnished truth, which is that “Jeremy Corbyn was grotesquely misrepresented by a hostile and unfair media composed mainly of a pack of Zionist Jews, together with those non-Jew mass media journalist drones they have either bought or intimidated (by loss of career, money etc)”…
…and the great British newspaper-reading and TV-watching public took it in like mother’s milk:
It was a huge Israeli/”British Jewry” operation, carried out over years. Israeli Intelligence making use of, inter alia, the Zionist Jews so prominent in UK politics, law, business and mass media.
It worked. Corbyn was demonized and so “lost” the 2017 and 2019 elections, though actually Labour did fairly well at the 2017 one, far better than (yes, inevitably) the newspapers and TV made out.
By 2019, though, Corbyn-Labour had been thoroughly trashed. Not only over his (in fact quite limited) “anti-Semitism” (which most British people could not care less about anyway until or unless brainwashed by the msm), but more pertinently over Corbyn’s clunky old-style socialism (in fact, 1970s/1980s pseudo-socialism mixed with multikulti “identity politics”), his links with various overseas movements, especially Palestinian, and his sheer lack of nous.
Not all of the coverage was untruthful. Corbyn was a political deadhead, really: very poor educational background, almost no work background at all, and no real ideas about anything at all. Even his wives say that (like Boris-idiot) Corbyn rarely if ever reads a book.
What sank Corbyn, though, was the sheer unrelenting volume of the abuse or criticism. That eventually penetrated into enough thick skulls (the voters, in short).
I do not much regret Corbyn not having become Prime Minister of the UK. He would have been a rotten PM, perhaps as hopeless as Boris-idiot. Surrounded by thick black women, without much moral integrity, and with few ideas (no worse than “Boris”-idiot, though), Corbyn deserved to be binned.
As to Corbyn’s policy on immigration…
…yet are the so-called “Conservatives” any better? Much hard talk, much msm noise, but no action at all except the pathetic Rwanda policy.
Meanwhile, the navy, “Border Farce” and RNLI are ferrying 1,000 migrant-invaders daily across the Channel, and that figure is dwarfed by the huge waves of “legal” migration into the UK.
On immigration, it might be said that the only difference between Corbyn and the likes of “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, Sunak, Priti Patel etc is that Corbyn was actually honest about wanting more immigration to flood Britain.
Underwhelming drama
Saw what I think was the second episode of a new detective-type drama on ITV, Murder in Provence.
Starring Roger Allam, the actor who was Detective Chief Inspector Thursday in Endeavour, the show somehow misses the mark. Allam was perfectly cast in Endeavour, but rather miscast in Murder in Provence as a French juge d’instruction (“examining magistrate”, in the usual translation).
I should say that others in the drama were also not quite right, somehow.
The drama was filmed in Provence, and some care has evidently been taken as to locations etc, but the acting and particularly the dialogue just seemed wooden much of the time, and the plot was rather thin.
Some of the characters were cardboard cutouts: the ruthless “Russian oligarch”, with his yacht and on-call sniper, in particular.
Another so-typical contemporary British TV drama absurdity was that about half the characters were blacks. We all know how Europe and, indeed, France —as well as the UK— have been flooded by the continuing waves of non-white immigration, but actual blacks (Africans, West Indians) are only about 5% (if that) of the UK population, and in France also somewhere around 5%. Not 50%. Particularly on the Cote d’Azur, though I admit that that is not a region of France that I know from personal experience.
I cannot really say that I found even one of the Murder in Provence characters plausible, with the exception of a vineyard domain owner who was a minor character (and I lived in another part of France for about 4 years).
A Jew-Zionist-ruled “failed state”; hardly a state at all. 30+ years of corruption, exploitation and completely shambolic misgovernment.
Zelensky himself has a USD $40M house in Florida. Not bad for a cheap comic entertainer who has only posed as President of Ukraine for 3 years.

✍️ FM #Lavrov: All the good relations talk, the West’s proclaimed readiness to take into account the rights & interests of Russians who ended up in Ukraine or other post-Soviet countries after the collapse of the USSR turned out to be mere pretence.
I have tried to cover this issue before on the blog. Not easy, mainly because earnings of barristers in private practice (i.e. not salaried employees working for government or companies) vary widely, indeed wildly. Anything from almost pennies to a million or more a year.
The general public tends to think of barristers averaging at least a couple of hundred thousand a year, but in fact many (especially those doing legally-aided criminal and family law work) are earning well under £100K, and many of those are making below £50K.
Needless to say, the public does not feel very sorry for those earning as much or more than they themselves do, but at the same time, barristers do have many extra expenses, which can take thousands or even tens of thousands off their gross income.
In the end, there has to be an effective court system, and that does mean having at least a corps of advocates, and that composed of at least reasonably proficient persons, which in turn posits the need for adequate remuneration.
I have no real axe to grind here. When I was at the ordinary practising Bar (1992-1996 and then 2002-2008), my work was partly (and after 1996, entirely) non-legally-aided. Also, I am scarcely likely to be overly kind about a profession the regulators of which allowed themselves to be manipulated by Jew-Zionist troublemakers who complained about me on political grounds (long after I ceased actual work as a barrister): see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

[Daily Mail map showing apparent state of play as of 10 March 2022]
I do not have comment re. that map specifically, beyond what I wrote yesterday, i.e. that the Russian immediate strategy seems to be to draw a line from Kharkov to Dnipro (former Dnepropetrovsk) and then down to where Russian forces are near Zaporozhye, to defeat all Ukrainian forces east of that line, and to occupy everywhere east of that line.
The Russians are now playing what is called, in chess, a positional game, relying on broad strategy and slow accretions, rather than swift tactics and bold moves.
Ukraine is now, having been for 30 years close to being a “failed state”, a complete shell of a state, at least in the east. The latest statistics show that its economy has collapsed by 50% or more already. It has limited vehicle fuel, and the besieged areas lack not only fuel, but food, ammunition, and even water in some cases.
Russian forces in Ukraine face logistical problems —unsurprising in a country the size of France— but not shortages as such. Time is on the Russian side in that sense. Their forces can be resupplied.
I should think that the Russians will start to target any large Ukrainian troop concentrations, as well as resupply lines, using more powerful missiles launched from inside Russia.
“A primary school worker and her boyfriend encouraged a two-year-old to kill badgers and foxes during a barbaric family day out, a court heard.
Paris Jade Carding, 28, of Fawley Grove, Wythenshawe, appeared in 32 video clips showing ‘shocking and horrendous’ incidents of animal cruelty.”
Her boyfriend, Grant Leigh Jnr, 30, of the same address, was also found guilty, reports Manchester Evening News.
“Inquiries revealed she had been joined on the barbaric family expedition by her boyfriend and his ex-huntsman father, Grant Leigh Snr, 52, of Marler Road in Hyde, Tameside.”
I believe that a 6-month maximum still applies unless the dogs were injured (which raises the maximum to 5 years, the crimes having happened before 2021).
I would not be surprised if the bitch featured in the report gets off lightly because of the mere fact that she has children (who may well grow up to be as bad as the rest of the “family”).
The courts cannot at present punish this sort of depraved and scarcely-human trash with sufficient severity. The prospect of being sentenced soon does not seem to have wiped the smirk off the evil woman defendant’s face…
I think that the newspaper should have published the exact addresses of the defendants in this case.
The above-reported-on is a very nasty series of crimes despite the fact that the government itself, in the past decade, has wrongfully killed untold thousands of badgers in order to placate the farming lobby.
I am not at all a “flogger and hanger” but the misplaced leniency shown in that report is just a bad joke. Where is the justice for the victim? I bet that someone who, for example, said something mildly “anti-Semitic”, would get a far heavier sentence (which, after all, would hardly be difficult).
Incidentally, the Daily Mail really ought to employ competent sub-editors, or at least a few literate reporters (I note that the semi-literate scribbler who penned the above report is one “Danyal Hussain”, which may explain the poor English).

Without his unmerited titles and monies, “Prince” Harry would be merely a mildly mentally-disturbed nobody. He has nothing useful to say (let alone to do). Shut up.
Other pollsters are broadly in the same area at present, with a slight decrease in the Labour lead over the past couple of weeks.
It is fairly clear to me that, if the misnamed Conservative Party can ditch “Boris”, and if they can then find someone not immediately obviously an idiot to replace him, the two main System parties will be near parity before very long; that suits Con rather than Lab in terms of potential Westminster seats.
Recent local council by-elections continue to show a decrease in the Labour vote-share (with a few exceptions) even where Labour has won the seat in question.
The British (especially English) dilemma remains: if, as voter, you dislike, distrust or despise both main System parties, where do you go? What can you do?
My own political stance is rather different, both in terms of orientation and strategy. I cannot see a way forward as things stand. There has to be a breakdown of both the political system and the economy before a real social-national movement can arise.
Hard to see where Starmer-Labour has any edge over the Cons. Its policies remain similar to those of the Cons, and apart from a sluggish feel to Lab under Starmer, there is the perception, surely correct, that Labour has become a would-be technocratic or “managerial” “we can run workhouses better” party, which I would suggest is not immediately attractive to most voters.
Looking at the near-meltdown of the “Conservatives” (Liz Truss as Foreign Secretary! Nadine Dorries actually in Cabinet! etc) in recent months —indeed, over the past 2 years—, it is amazing that Labour and Starmer are not higher in the polls than they are.
Were a new Con Party leader to come in and sweep away the Truss, Dorries, Priti Patel (etc) detritus, Labour would be dead in the water (again). Corbyn was “Marmite” to many, but Labour was doing better under Corbyn in real elections than it has done under Starmer, so far at least.
Starmer’s trump card, he thinks, is managerial efficiency, and that is certainly the Cons’ weak suit, but Starmer and Labour may find that that is not quite enough. Also, I should imagine that the voters, even if unaware of the Labour Friends of Israel aspect, look at Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, and see (rightly, in my estimation) would-be tyrants, full of political correctness and hatred for free speech.

“Boris” may be an idiot, but he has a general cunning re. the public mood. He needs a boost, and getting rid of the restrictions will give him one, even if not as much of a boost as he needs.

Russia must take Eastern Ukraine, Kiev, and the Black Sea littoral soon, or lose the golden moment. Waiting a few weeks might or might not be OK. Waiting a year would be disastrous. The New World Order will by then have built up Ukraine into, if not a NATO state (NATO rules disallow a country to join if its territory is partly-occupied), then a quasi-NATO ZOG puppet state.
A lot depends on weather, as with Barbarossa in 1941. If the mud gets worse, it might impede even the armoured vehicles of 2022, and the mud will not go until the late spring, or summer.
Everything favours the Russian forces…so far. Russia’s air power is overwhelming, its armour also very strong. Russia also has superiority in the numbers, equipment, and training of its ground troops.
A simultaneous seizure of the whole east of Ukraine, of Odessa (with Black Sea coast and the littoral stretching a few miles beyond that coast), and of Kiev, would mean that all major cities of Ukraine except Lvov would be in Russian hands. The capture of Kiev would decapitate the regime of the Jewish clown now posing as President, and there would be no immediate need to seize the half to two-thirds of Ukraine west of the Dnieper and inland.
Admittedly, that might leave considerable anti-Russia forces in the west of Ukraine, and a rump government based on Lvov. However, that rump government would have few sources of funding, be unable to import or export by sea, and would have limited credibility. Russian air power would be able to eliminate any large concentrations of armour left, and the air force of Ukraine is very weak; it would probably by then have more or less ceased to exist.
It is tragic that two peoples closely bound together for so long (over a thousand years) should battle in this way, but Russia has little choice now. For the sake of the whole civilian population of Ukraine, it must strike both swiftly and overwhelmingly. A Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy, if you like.

While driving, I listened to BBC Radio 4 PM (old and bad habits die hard). Liz Truss in Moscow. Bloody hell! What an embarrassment this whole Cabinet is! The presenter said that Liz Truss was “talking tough” to the Russians… Talk about a hollow threat! Little Liz Truss, “talking tough” but with literally nothing to back her up.
The British Army, supposedly about 70,000 strong, but (if what I read is correct) with only about 11,000 active front-line troops altogether. Around Ukraine alone, Russia is said to have massed over 100,000.
It would have been better for Liz Truss to have said nothing than to have uttered, as she did, scarcely-veiled threats, when the Russians know that she has nothing in her arsenal with which to speak louder.
Talking about useless people, I also heard Cressida Dick yapping about how she is going to root out police personnel engaged in “racist, homophobic or misogynistic” language. How about the police actually doing their main job instead of doing the bidding of malicious Jew-Zionist agitators such as those in the tiny group of troublemakers called “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism”?
[Cressida Dick, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, talking at New Scotland Yard with Gideon Falter, “Chief Executive” of the tiny “Campaign Against Antisemitism” group]
The police seem all too ready to play the role of “poundland KGB”. There have been thousands of recent examples of police exceeding their powers, and going well beyond what the law actually says (repressive as it anyway now is). There again, Cressida Dick is a Common Purpose drone, and their arrogant motto is “leading beyond authority“, a major reason why idiots like Mizz Dick have been promoted beyond their competence, and why public administration is now beginning to break down.

So Lavrov, Foreign Minister of a country 72x the size of the UK, with several times the population, and armed forces about 20x as numerous and powerful, got bored listening to the shrill grandstanding of Liz Truss, who carries no weight whatsoever, either militarily, politically, or intellectually. For the UK, this is embarrassingly poor.

Truss: “Great Britain will never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions,”

A textbook example of the unreality that was Corbyn-Labour. Tweeter “@jrc1921” actually showcases the calculations of BBC journalist Chris Mason, and does not seek to say that they are inaccurate, but persists in the idea that planting 200 trees per minute (i.e. more than 3 every second!) is both “feasible” and ” relatively conservative”!
True, a British equivalent of the 1970s Khmer Rouge could, in principle, get millions of people planting trees, even on such a scale. 100 million trees per year could be planted, were every single adult of appropriate age to plant 2 trees per year.
The devil is in the administrative detail. That is the unreality. Organizing 50 million people to plant 1 tree each, every 6 months. How? Where?
Not that I am against tree planting. Au contraire. Let’s do some good! Let’s have some fun!
Political reality is what people can accomplish, and so to that extent is flexible, not fixed. Sometimes 2+2 can = 5… To that extent, I agree with the tweeter above, and not only with Chris Mason. Both are right, if you like…

There may be climate change, in some degree (e.g. Australia is now certainly much hotter than it was in the 1960s when I was there), but that has happened throughout history. Humanity is only partly responsible. Moreover, whatever Britain, or even Europe does, is of small, indeed minimal, importance. Britain’s CO2 “emissions” are about 1% of the global whole.
“Climate change”, like “Covid-19” and other stuff (eg “Black Lives Matter” nonsense) has been distorted and weaponized by transnational conspirators, in order to impose an agenda. Call it “The Great Reset” (in part), if you like.

#Littlejohn does a great job slamming the #lockdown bureaucrats. But as a well-paid member of the licensed to whine, pro-capitalist, pro-Israel right, he dare not criticise vaccine mania or talk about the Great Reset & the elite criminals behind it.https://t.co/N7rFujfzRm
Basket ball courts & lecture rooms? Hardly the sort of concentration camp the left portray it as. Whatever next? A swimming pool, football pitch, theatre & brothel for the inmates? Wouldn't be surprised if, some day, we're still told it was a 'death camp'!https://t.co/PViMip9XFk
“Channel migrants have been secretly picked up in French waters by the UK Border Force and taken to Dover, the Mail can reveal.
The controversial action on the French side of the Channel was orchestrated between senior crew members of HMC Valiant and French patrol ship Athos last Saturday.
On Friday night, a Home Office source said the Government’s own border agency appeared to have helped migrants enter the country illegally, adding: ‘The job of Border Force is to secure the UK’s border, not facilitate illegal entry across it.’” [Daily Mail].
When are the British people going to wake up? This is a transnational conspiracy. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The Great Replacement. White Genocide.
In the past 4 days, 600 illegal migrants (migrant invaders) have crossed the Channel. 600 in a few days…
Forced? If a woman becomes pregnant, she will in the normal course of events give birth. She is no more ‘forced ‘to do so than you are ‘forced’ to breathe by virtue of being alive. We are discussing a violent intervention to prevent a natural event. https://t.co/4ptOEYUARS
Nor do adults in comas, or otherwise unconscious, or old people suffering from dementia etc have these things . Is it therefore OK to kill them? @guffynicola. https://t.co/zgudaMg6PB
Nearly 15,000 have now watched this interview,https://t.co/MWyILGzFex in which I suggest that the British people actully no longer want to be free, even actively want to be unfree. They will get their wish. So will I, and all those who would rather keep their liberty.
I'm so angry about the direction this country is going in.. How can it be right that young men, some who've barely been here a fortnight can sue us, because they don't like where they're staying? Why can't legal aid only be available to people who live and pay taxes here? 🤔

When I was living in Moscow in the early 1990ss, the grass on the central reservation on my street (Ulitsa Dmitrya Ulyanova, named after Lenin's brother) was still kept in order by gangs of Moscow City Council workers with scythes. And the chemists stocked leeches. https://t.co/i8iAsBPedG
Both leeches and scythes still work. The former are still used in the NHS, or were until very recently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54553442. As Francis Bacon (the philosopher not the painter) wrote, just because something is superseded does not mean that the newer item or method is better than the older, even when the newer item or method entirely replaces the older. There are many examples.
R.I.P. free speech, and goodbye intellectual freedom
The YouTube video below is well worth watching:
On the same overall theme, persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, who was released from prison last week, having served about half of her 18-week sentence (for having posted online a satirical video about Jews!), is still only partly-free, being —inter alia— prevented, until August, from posting on—or, apparently, even looking at— the Internet!
No wonder that no-one these days says “it’s a free country”, as they often did in the 1960s and 1970s…
Yes, that is the thing about not only the Royal Mulatta but also the Royal Cuck (Harry). Harry is critical of the whole royal set-up, yet his title of “Prince” is the only reason anyone is listening to him, the only reason he is constantly in the msm, the only reason the msm is now paying him and the Mulatta very large sums of money.
Without that title, Harry would be a total nobody. He would not even, in all likelihood, have a job, let alone any professional or higher status. In some part of his little mind, he knows that. It may be the real source of his mental problems.
…heavily armed Israeli policemen. The ticket lady said it was because the airline had had an incident at some point. She acted like it was fairly normal. But it just really stuck out to me seeing armed police or army from another country on our soil. Anyway, just reminded me
What would that accomplish? A few lines in (((occupied))) newspapers? No, any discontented Border Force or police (or others) should network, and organize covertly.
Migration-invasion…and do not imagine that this is happening as if by accident. There are powerful transnational forces concerting this, planning it, making it happen.
Below, a tweet from last year, about the facemask nonsense:
In fact, I happened to be in a clifftop area yesterday, a few miles from where I live, and there were (a few) silly and mostly retirement-age “rabbits” walking along the clifftop path wearing facemasks in the 24C heat! Complete idiots.
An allegation that a staff member at the Royal Free Hospital made a cut-throat death-threat gesture to a Jewish patient has been found to be false after an investigation was carried out..
Yes, the truth often is so very damaging to “the fight against ‘antisemitism'”, nicht wahr? No wonder that even Moses had to put “thou shalt not bear false witness” on those stone tablets…Ingrained…
Alison Chabloz knows all about “false witness”, having had a pack of liars testify against her over the past several years.
My latest solo show. Covering police violence, a hopeful bombshell out of #Russia, the sinister forces behind the long war on #whiteness, and short readings on effective #resistance to the terminal madness of liberalism, from both the Deus Vult books.https://t.co/H9W5QkdavC
I have blogged about this over the past year and a half. Those who favour strict “lockdown”, the various absurd “rules” around it, the facemask nonsense etc, tend to be the same people who favour strict censorship of socio-political expression online (and offline), and police intrusion into whether people are “complying” with what the Government wants on any particular day; they are also usually pro-EU and voted Remain. Inter alia. Not so in every case, but it holds true, in my opinion, for the vast majority.
…and don’t forget a. the millions of others flooding in, both “legally” and illegally, and b. which groups and individuals are those enabling and promoting the migration invasion. They are guilty.
Caught a few minutes of the now totally pathetic BBC Radio 4 PM programme today, while in the car. Evan Davis, the presenter, examined the latest (past 24 hours) wave of stabbings. His anguished question: “what do these crimes in various parts of the country have in common?”…but “answer came there none”. Ding-dong! About 95% of them involve ethnic minorities…
If you cannot even identify the problem, you will never identify the solution…and, no, the “problem” is not “knives”. Think again.
Mainstream media are predicting a Conservative Party victory, while continuing to pretend that a contest between two very similar System parties (and a few cranks and no-chances) is “democracy”, though it seems that, thanks to FPTP voting, the main binary choices will capture about 90%, maybe 95%, of all votes cast.
Turnout will probably be quite low.
I was just looking at a couple of tweets about the contest:
I keep seeing Labour talking about Tory sleaze on here and saying in Hartlepool we should vote Labour! Have they forgotten our last MP Mike Hill was a sex pest ? You couldn't make this shit up pic.twitter.com/AGRiAe6cpm
That refers to the outgoing (going, gone…) MP, Mike Hill, who denies sex pest allegations but who decided to stand down as MP because of them. Hm…Still, he can always return to work at the local library…or do a bit of useless trade union droning…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hill_(British_politician)].
I’m on a Labour page and these are the reason why they think people will be voting Tory tomorrow: ‘They are mindless brainless morons.’ ‘More stupid than monkeys.’ ‘Parroting what Murdoch tells them to think.’ ‘Selfish.’ ‘Idiots or just blind.’ ‘Racists.’
People may be surprised that I repost the tweet of a Jew-Zionist scribbler, but “there is no religion higher than truth”, as they say.
The fact is that communities such as Hartlepool are clutching at straws. That does not mean that they are totally stupid. True, the misnamed “Conservatives” are not worthy, and they have been in power, nationally, for 11 years now, but the voters of Hartlepool have had Labour MPs for nearly 50 years, and feel exploited. They can only bin Labour by voting Conservative (or at least staying at home and not voting).
In some countries at some times, failed political parties (members of) face imprisonment and even execution. In the UK, we are kinder. Those parties simply face political death. It happened to the once-all-powerful Liberal Party (though a ghostly shadow still exists, the LibDems), it is now happening to both Labour and Conservative parties. Labour first to go, it seems.
That one, above, the well-known Jewish actress, used to block me on Twitter, I think (my Twitter account was closed down by a Jew-Zionist claque-barrage of complaints in 2018) and even tweet against me occasionally. Correct here, though. Look at that tweet by one Grace Blakely:
Where does one start? Perhaps by expressing “surprise” (no, not really, not these days) that a young woman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Blakeley] from a privileged background, privately-educated in Hampshire, and with (for what it is worth these days) a “First” from Oxford, prefers the philosophical-psychological term “ressentiment” to the straightforward standard English “resentment”…I suppose that she picked that up while doing her PPE back-of-postcard degree at St. Peter’s, Oxford. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ressentiment
Secondly, by examining the claim that those with a “degree” (even if a “McDegree” from a “McUniversity”, are “the educated“. That is so Blair-1997…pretty outdated as a expression of reality.
Sadly, the “degree” from a “university” is no guarantee of real education, now that nearly half of all persons over 17 go to a “university”. Going to Oxford is no guarantee either, as both Grace Blakely and, for another example, Louise Mensch (if anyone remembers that stupid creature) bear witness.
As a matter of fact, both of the above are also examples of the pointlessness or near-pointlessness of Twitter. Grace Blakely has, apparently, 132,000 Twitter “followers”, while the lunatic Mensch has (looking at her Twitter account for the first time in a couple of years) 281,000! One Direction pop group has 31.5 million!
Grace Blakely is apparently appointed as a Visiting Fellow at the Open University! This country is so screwed, it really is…

There are fears in the party that the deployment of Navy gunboats to Jersey was being whipped up to influence the critical Hartlepool by-election https://t.co/b0T4JgI9qg
So what is left of the Royal Navy is being used to show the flag in a fishing dispute with a close ally of this country (Brexit notwithstanding), but 200+ migrant-invaders are being “rescued” and then escorted across the Channel by the same navy and/or the ludicrous Border Force, every day. Mad…
Were I maliciously-inclined, I suppose that I should encourage pedestrians to push off the riders whenever seen. However, where I live there are few “e-scooters” (in fact, I believe that I have only seen one), so on this occasion I shall say “none of my business”.
The revolution devours its own children…
This time, involving the tiny and unpleasant “Resisting Hate” “antifascist” troll-org, led by the well-fed Roanna Carleton-Taylor of (near) Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
Seems that either Roanna Carleton-Taylor or an associate (she uses several Twitter accounts anyway) posted something involving a banana to a black, which apparently is considered “racist”, though I cannot see why. I myself eat the occasional yellow fruit, after all.
Anyway, there ensued a several-days-long Twitter storm in a teacup, which dragged in “Dr” Louise Raw (prolific pro-“antifa” tweeter) and at least one mentally-disturbed Jewish Zionist woman from North London.
“Dr” Raw has not tweeted for the past week, I now notice.
I concede that I have not followed the nonsense, and am merely amused at the supposed “anti-racists” of different types all tearing chunks out of each other.
The denouement? Roanna “antifashwitch”, the former “@Witchofpeace” on Twitter (she tweeted once about how she kills spiders when putting a curse on someone! Odd…I thought that that brought down bad luck upon the killer…), has changed her account to “@oilpaintwitch” and has posted this:
Can you “resign” from an “organization” that is just you yourself, with a few other idiots? Oh, well, there it is.
Well, I do not pretend to have followed the progress of this silly (and typical) Twitter-spat between groups of Twitter trolls whose greatest achievement (in their own little minds) is when someone of whom they disapprove is “deplatformed” by being expelled from Twitter or Facebook. In fact, I seem to remember that (((Roanna))) and (((some))) associates tweeted happily about my wrongful disbarment in 2016: for the disbarment, see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
As I have blogged previously, I have never seen any of these sorts of “antifascist” and/or Jewish Zionist trolls offer any policies or ideas about how to improve society (except by advocating the “removal” of those they deem “Nazi”, “fascist”, “racist” etc). It’s all negative and all, at root, based around their own hate (they, unwittingly ironically, always claim to oppose “hate”, of course…). cf. “Hope Against Hate” etc.
I have to admit that I am rather curious as to what happened to the £12,000 that Roanna, Mike Stuchbery (the pro-“antifa” tweeter, would-be “journalist”, would-be “historian” and general grifter), and a Pakistani solicitor extracted, via GoFundMe, from 700 well-meaning (?) mugs, on the premise that Stuchbery was going to sue “Tommy Robinson” (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). Never happened. As far as I know, the only action taken was a very poorly-drafted letter from the Pakistani, which may or may not have been delivered to “Robinson”.
Apparently, one of the minor candidates for London Mayor has been associating with some alleged fraudsters: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/should-someone-who-wants-london-24047689. Strangely enough, though, I saw nothing in the msm about the fairly recent video put out by “Conservative” candidate Shaun Bailey, which featured a woman best described as a “Balkan fraud”, and who was convicted of both fraud and forgery at Southwark Crown Court in 2013. Come to that, Bailey himself was, arguably, lucky not to face more than a police investigation when his non-profit quasi-charity had to be wound up some years ago. Oddly enough, all the monies had disappeared, and large amounts had apparently been spent on hotels and restaurants for…Shaun Bailey.
Fortunately for West Indian-origined Bailey, the voters in today’s election will have voted by the time I post this; in any case, Bailey has little chance of beating Sadiq Khan in the contest.
I wonder why the Conservative Party picked Bailey? I remember seeing him on one of the Andrew Neil politics shows on the BBC, years ago. Unimpressive. A West Indian with a big mouth and not much of interest to say. I suppose that, London now being a mainly non-white city, the Con Party decided that it needed a non-white candidate. Well, that fell flat (it seems).

Update, 25 October 2024
Well, 3-4 years of water under the bridge. Shaun Bailey is now a member of the ever-less-credible House of Lords! Baron Bailey of Paddington, no less. As good as “Burlington Bertie— from Bow”.
Bailey therefore gets a double bite: H o L expenses (nearly £400 a day, taxfree, for the days when the Lords are in session, most of the year, and (I admit that I was unaware that that was allowed) a salary as a member of the London Assembly. Not bad for someone whose only career jobs have been to have founded a fake charity that folded after 6 years with debts, much of the money having gone to Bailey himself; someone who was a token black SpAd for David Cameron-Levita for 2-3 years, then a multiple failure at various elections. Britain, 2024…
As for the “Balkan fraud”, Jasna Badzak, she is finished and may even be dead; I do not know.
Jill Mortimer won the 6 May 2021 by-election convincingly for the Conservative Party— 51.9% of the vote. The Labour candidate, NHS doctor Paul Williams, garnered only 28.7% and was forced to resume work as a medical doctor. Jill Mortimer’s time as MP was, however, quite brief; at the General Election of 2024, she lost her seat and got only 21.9% of the vote, placed 3rd after Labour (46.2%) and Reform UK (24.5%).
