Helen Pitcher and the Criminal Cases Review Commission scandal

https://www.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/jul/18/ccrc-chair-helen-pitcher-rejects-call-to-resign-andrew-malkinson-case

“The chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected calls from the justice secretary to resign after a report on its handling of the Andrew Malkinson case laid bare “a catalogue of failures”.

The new justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said Pitcher was “unfit to fulfil her duties” and that she was seeking her removal in light of the findings. It is understood that she made her position clear to Pitcher on Thursday morning in the hope that she would resign.

But Pitcher said she was the “best person” for the job and that she had no intention of standing down.

James Burley, who led Appeal’s investigation into Malkinson’s case, said the report was “utterly damning” and detailed “a catalogue of failures by the CCRC”.

He said: “No one can doubt now that the CCRC is a broken safety net which sets the bar unreasonably high for innocent prisoners trying to clear their names. The CCRC must be completely overhauled.”

[The Guardian]

[Helen Pitcher, useless “quangocrat”]

I had never heard of Helen Pitcher, so I looked her up online: https://www.legalwomen.org.uk/helenpitcher.html.

“Helen Pitcher OBE Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission talked to Bhini Phagura from Raydens solicitors about her career.

Tell us about your career progression which led to your appointment as the Chair of the Judicial Appointments Commission:

“I studied law at QMC London and used this degree as a basis for a career in commerce, where I rapidly progressed up the ranks to become an Executive and Divisional Director in Grand Metropolitan. I retained a footprint in the law in various roles related to Standards, Fairness, Equity and Diversity.“

Well…wouldn’t you just know it?

There’s more:

“The first role I held in parallel to my Commercial career was as a lay representative of the Professional Conduct and Complaints Committee of the Bar Council.” [now split into the Bar Standards Board and the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal].

Yes, there is usually at least one useless woman of this sort sitting (well-paid, too), but doing nothing, when a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal sits. In 5-person tribunal cases (as mine was, in fact wrongly— it should have been a 3-person tribunal, which has no power to disbar) there are usually two such women (they always seem to be women, as on benches of lay magistrates), invariably a pair of unsmiling and stupid “bookends”. Useless box-tickers. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

“I also became a lay representative on the Employment Appeal Tribunal and still hold this office.

I then joined the Queens Counsel (as it was then) Selection Panel and rapidly became its chair. Whilst there we improved the Diversity Statistics.“

Again the “diversity statistics“… Why am I not at all surprised?

“I held this role for 9 years. On stepping down, I decided not to apply for another role as I also had a burgeoning Consultancy and Portfolio Career. About 18 months later, however, an advertisement for the role of the Chair of the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) was brought to my attention.

Last year the role of Chairman at the JAC (Judicial Appointments Commission) became available. A Headhunter contacted me having uncovered my background on LinkedIn. I checked with the MoJ that there was no conflict of interest and submitted my application. On December 31st following a Justice Select Committee earlier in the month, I was appointed and took up the post on January 16th [2023].”

My role as chair involves leading the Board, ensuring appropriate oversight on governance and providing appropriate challenge and support to the executive. I am also involved in some of the most senior appointments.

I have rationalised my portfolio (which was a Commitment I gave to the JSC) in order to ensure I have the appropriate amount of time to devote to this key role.

You are holding this role for 3 years from January 2023, what are your aims/goals?

The strategic aims were already set, however they are due for a refresh as the period they covered draws to a close. These aims, which are developed in conjunction with the Board and executive, are on our website and thus in the public domain.

Our primary purpose set out by statute is to recruit on merit, our secondary (and no less important role) is to assist the rest of the judicial system to increase the diversity pool. It is for this reason that I also chair the Judicial Diversity Forum, which has a clear action plan to achieve its aims.”

So the secondary role is as important as the primary one? How muddled and wrongheaded is the stupid woman?

[Legal Women (online-only) magazine]

The interview is rather badly written, unfortunately, with superfluous upper-case here and there; as can be seen, it is the product of an Indian woman.

Well, there we have it. That greedy and plainly incompetent Pitcher woman has made a whole career, and no doubt a very lucrative one, out of “diversity”, tokenism etc. First of all, in her own person, by being a “token woman”, or one token woman, on commercial and quango boards. Secondly, by being a Trojan horse for more “diversity” and “inclusion” (etc) in important public offices.

Helen Pitcher, who seems to me to be a useless “diversity” box-ticker, has, inter alia, sat in the seat of judgment over employment appeal cases, over the cases of supposedly defaulting barristers etc, and has even been (and apparently still is) the head of the body which appoints judges, including those at the highest level.

cf. Paula Vennells [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Vennells] and Dido Harding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido_Harding] and many many others.

Helen Pitcher is, at time of writing, doing, and of course getting paid for doing, several different jobs simultaneously. She is probably making between half a million and a million pounds a year. For what? Ruining various bodies? Ticking various “diversity” and “anti-racism” boxes? Shoving our society further into the mire?

Look at how Helen Pitcher is clinging on to her CCRC role, presumably in order to maximize the money she gets before she is forced out. At least, that seems to me to be her motivation. Very telling, if so.

This latest scandal, including Helen Pitcher’s “march through the institutions”, is so typical of the way in which things generally have been allowed to develop in the UK in the past 30+ years.

You can see the way the UK is going, at least partly because of stupid and over-promoted women such as Helen Pitcher (and, yes, also men, not infrequently)— straight down.

God knows what state this country will be in in 2029 or 2034, let alone 2054 (which last I shall not have to witness, thank God, not from the Earth plane anyway).

“Andrew Malkinson calls miscarriage of justice watchdog’s ex-head ‘shameless’

Helen Pitcher resigned from the CCRC saying she had been ‘scapegoated’ over Malkinson’s case

Emily DuganTue 14 Jan 2025 19.51 GMTShare

Andrew Malkinson has called the former head of the miscarriage of justice watchdog “shameless” as she resigned from the job saying she had been “scapegoated for entirely legitimate decisions” taken over his case.

Helen Pitcher handed in her resignation as chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) on Tuesday afternoon after learning that an independent panel had concluded by a majority of two to one that she was no longer fit to be chair.

In a letter to the justice secretary she said she felt that she had been chosen as a “scapegoat at an early stage” for the Malkinson case and that “a head had to roll and I was chosen for that role”.

Malkinson said: “Helen Pitcher’s attempt to portray herself as the victim here is shameless.

The Guardian revealed that Pitcher had been in Montenegro promoting her property business in the weeks after Malkinson’s conviction was overturned and the organisation was in crisis after its failure to apologise to him.“

[Guardian]].

“Her property business” (as well as all the rest)?

Helen Pitcher thus managed to blag another 6-7 months’ pay and expenses, and pension contributions, when she should have resigned in mid or early 2024.

“Shameless” indeed, the horrible and avaricious old hag.

“Summary of the Israeli strike according to what is known so far: – Approximately 25 F-15 and F-35 aircraft, accompanied by refueling planes, flew about 2000 kilometers toward the city of Hodeidah in Yemen.

– The strike was carried out in 8 waves.

-The attack destroyed fuel depots, inflicted damage on the port, and destroyed a power station north of the port.

– The fire is still burning and is expected to continue for several more days.

– There is a power outage across the entire region.

– The message of the strike is clear: this is not a strike on military targets (which has been done by the coalition over the past 9 months) but an attack on the already struggling Yemeni economy, causing significant economic damage.

– The attack on the port is a direct response to the damage Yemenis have caused to the port of Eilat.

– The message to the rest of the Middle East is also clear: the Bandar Abbas port and the Kharg Island, from where most of Iran’s oil is exported, are in Israel’s sights, as well as the port of Beirut.

– Israel has decided to take off the gloves; this is not a minor strike like those in Iran.

– The Houthis are threatening to retaliate, but it is unclear what the threat entails, as they have already attacked Israel 200 times.”

[Open Source Intel]

Middle East, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Far East. All now under threat of major regional wars.

“Ukraine lines are collapsing. After 380 billions of aid pledged to Ukraine since the war begin; 118 billion are direct military aid; many countries literally emptied out entire inventory countless military units to give their weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is STILL losing grounds everyday. Lost 5 towns in the past 48hrs. The fortress city of Krasnohorivka is falling as we speak; Russia threatens cut the Oskil Frontlines in half with the likely capture of Pishchane. Still not collapsing? This is not collapse of frontlines, then what is?“

“Back to the UK tomorrow. I’ve never had such dread about Britain. Coming back to London and knowing how unpleasant it’ll be. The demographic changes and feeling that [the UK] is most against Brits. The lack of functional media. The feeling something big has to happen to restore order.“

[Charlotte Gill]

Plenty of Twitter-twits replying to all that and saying how wonderful London still (?) is, but I lived in (mostly) Central or near-Central London, on and off, for 22 years (1976 to 1998, though spending also many years either elsewhere in the country or overseas), and I should not want to live there today: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/.

I have not been to London since that brief visit in 2022, and am glad of it. I no longer have the Rolex watches I had 25+ years ago (or want them, or need them, or can afford them) but, if I did, I think that they would not stay on my wrist very long in the London of 2024.

Why can people who should know better not accept the truth that is in front of their eyes? In a word, deluded.

One aspect of London that seems to have radically improved in recent years, though, is the public transport network. New lines, new trains, new ways of travelling around the conurbation. Crossrail/Elizabeth Line for one. I do not speak, however, from personal experience of the new lines, just from what I have read online.

Well over 20 years ago, in 2000, I happened to meet and get to know (somewhat), in Bournemouth, a young blonde woman (20 or so) I first encountered in a photography shop, and who was very proud of her father, vice-Chancellor of (if I remember aright) Lancaster University. She talked about him rather a lot, and thus I learned that (again, if I remember aright) his salary was over £200,000 a year, which would be pretty good even today, by most people’s standards. In fact, the Bank of England online calculator shows that you could almost double that in today’s money. So today— maybe £400,000.

The tertiary educational sector in the UK has been a kind of “rotten borough” for a long time. At least 30 years.

Matt Goodwin

I notice that the “alt-Right” (?) academic and commentator, Matt Goodwin, has retweeted a tweet about the UNRWA by the malicious and publicity-seeking Jew-Zionist org, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Foolish. The credibility of that malicious cabal is shot; even most pro-Israel Jews are against its activities and behaviour. By retweeting the “CAA”, Goodwin risks his own credibility too.

My understanding was that Japan had withdrawn from whale hunting in the Southern Ocean, and would only be whaling in Japan’s own Exclusive Economic Zone [EEZ].

I agree with that. Michelle Obama? Maybe not so easily defeated. All the blacks would vote for her, for a start.

If anyone other than Trump takes on the U.S. Presidency, the Americans will be staring civil war in the face. The rest of the world (as well as the USA) will be staring at, quite likely, a world war, starting (like the first two “world” wars) in Europe.

An omen.

Back in the mid-1980s, I sometimes enjoyed Spitting Image [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image]. The sort of real cutting satire that would simply not be allowed today, much of it. In any case, with the sort of events we now see (eg Biden’s funny but also sad descent into the fog), any similar show today would have to fight hard to compete with what is actually happening in front of our eyes.

True, Reagan was not the most-obviously intelligent world leader, but the satirical treatment of him was deliberately “over the top”; whatever his flaws, he was not in the grip of a dementia-related condition plainly visible whenever he spoke in public.

I have not seen the more recently remade Spitting Image but I doubt that it pokes fun at the kind of non-political targets the 1980s original did, e.g. black “rap” performers. I admit that I am guessing, though. The remake is not broadcast on mainstream TV.

The regime of that evil little bastard has only one main chance— to drag NATO into the war. That might mean a slide into a nuclear confrontation before very long.

If the Kiev regime starts to attack Russian cities far from the front line, the response might be that Ukrainian cities in the western part of Ukraine, west of the Dnieper, might be attacked and even destroyed.

So far, Russia has not launched all-out attack on Kiev, partly because of its role in Russian history, but if major Russian cities start to be bombarded, that may change.

I predicted, a couple of years ago, on the blog, that Russia would start to degrade the electrical production and distribution network across Ukraine. That is now being intensified, and is a far more intelligent way of waging war than the more brutal and harsh —and less effective— choice of attacking directly the homes and neighbourhoods of the Ukrainian civilians.

If the Kiev regime starts to badly damage Russian cities away from the front line —especially Moscow, Petersburg and surrounding territories— the Russian response could be devastating enough to bring NATO into the war on some pretext such as Poland suffering damage. Were that to happen, all of us would be but a step away from a Russia-NATO war, which is being pushed by secret circles within the West. Such a war, which would quite likely go nuclear within weeks, would change Europe and the world forever.

Incredible, when you think of the historical hardships of the Irish people. Now, unwanted non-European migrant-invaders demand this, that, and the other…

Forget the “Conservative” Party. Social nationalism can provide the right policies and administration.

Another example of the undemocratic and quasi-dictatorial nature of the Starmer-Labour government. 411 MPs from whom to choose, yet Starmer is appointing ministers at will from outside the Commons, elevating them to the Lords first.

Sophie Corcoran fails to point out that her comment might also apply, absolutely exactly, to the past 14 years of Conservative Party government.

Reform UK, GE 2024, and the Twitter twits

I was just looking at Twitter/X, which is alive today with Twitter-twits attacking Reform UK and, particularly, belittling Reform for, as it were, pretending to be a serious political party when it “only” has 5 MPs.

As recently as June 2024, the LibDems only had 11 MPs, and had only 8 from 2015 until 2017.

The forerunner of the LibDems, the old Liberal Party, at one time the party of government with hundreds of MPs, fell to having only 6 MPs during the 1950s and again in the early 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Electoral_performance.

As for the SNP, from its foundation in the early 1930s and until 1970, about 37 years (!), the SNP had no MPs at all; in 1970, the SNP managed to have elected 1 MP. The MP-cadre of the SNP then varied from 2 to (1974 to 1979) 11 MPs in the years 1974 to 2015, but mostly stuck at 2 or 3 MPs until 1997, when the SNP bloc increased its numbers, this time to 6 MPs. When the FPTP tipping-point was reached in 2015, the SNP mushroomed from 6 MPs to 56 (out of 59 Scottish MPs) overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.

Apart from those comparisons, the Twitter-twits might like to consider what this blog has been saying for the past week, as have some others (though not enough) even in the msm: Labour did not win by some kind of popular “landslide”, but only in terms of seats conferred by a totally unfit-for-purpose electoral system.

As noted on the blog in past days, at GE 2024 the Conservative Party only got (just over) 1.5x the number/percentage of votes of Reform UK, and even Labour only got (below) 2.5x the Reform UK vote-share.

As put on the blog the other day, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 12 even voted.

In very rough terms, out of that eligible 20 voters, 8 voters abstained, 4 voters voted Lab, 3 voters voted Con, 2 voters voted Reform, 2 voters voted LibDem, and 1 voter voted Green.

Not exactly, and “other parties were available”, but 90.29% of UK voters voted for one of those 5 parties. In England specifically, about 97% of voters voted Lab, Con, Reform, LibDem or Green.

The Twitter-Twits tweeting about Reform UK are mostly Labour supporters who belittle Reform because only 2 out of every 12 voters who voted voted for it, yet only 4 out of 12 (4 out of 20 if you count the abstainers) voted Labour.

I happened to notice one particular Twitter/X account, one “@RobBaron10”, who today (as of 1430) has already managed to put out about 29 Twitter/X “replies”, almost all angrily insulting, and all or almost all completely brainless. I have to say that I am loath to give much credence to someone whose Twitter/X profile says “Retired lecturer in philosophy trying to live a low-impact lifestyle. Despises the far-right and social injustice. Responds in the tone responded to.” Especially when said “retired lecturer in philosophy” thinks that “toe the line” is spelled “tow the line“…

Indeed, looking at the tweets copied below, it may be that “RobBaron10” deserves a place in my updated essay on the links between “antifascists” and/or Zionists, and mental illness: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/

More seriously, if Starmer-Labour MPs and supporters think that the absurd result of GE 2024 gives Starmer the right to impose a “woke”, and also Israel-lobby, tyranny on the people of the UK, he and they are very much mistaken.

Remember those figures— only 4 out of 12 who voted (<34%) voted Labour; only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (~20%) voted Labour.

“American citizens stand with Russia, not Ukraine. Russia is an orthodox Christian nation, a sovereign nation, doesn’t pander to illegals aliens, was lied to by Ukraine, the U.S and NATO and had forces put on their border, a violation of previous promises made. Ukraine is in bed with the illegal covert bio weapons laboratory facility’s doing gain of function. Ukraine is the most corruption country in Europe, a money laundering hub, a child trafficking hub and a live organ black market dealing hub. Fuck Ukraine and punk ass Zelensky!“

That stupid woman must have the mother and father of all social connection address books…incredible.

Starmer

I agree with that “@chelleryn99” tweet.

As with “Boris”-idiot, there is something of the onion, or the matrioshka, about Starmer. Several layers, but nothing (or something quite different and/or alien) at the centre.

Performative Labour tribalist (who however always looks uncomfortable with that), one-time criminal defence barrister turned high-level public prosecution lawyer, the not-quite-true faux-proletarian background (parents not so poor, and who sent him to a partly fee-paying school in a good part of Surrey), the (half-) Polish-Jewish wife, and the children brought up as if fully-Jewish… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Starmer.

“Lady Starmer is Jewish and Sir Keir has talked about keeping the tradition of family Friday night dinners, where they are often joined by her father for prayers.“

[https://news.sky.com/story/who-is-keir-starmers-wife-lady-victoria-starmer-12981688].

So I suppose that Starmer wears one of those little skullcaps, a yarmulka (I think) on such occasions? Maybe, maybe not. I have not seen anything as to whether all attendees at such dinners do or not. The Jewish prayer part of that paragraph seems to suggest that Starmer does wear such headgear but (needless to say) I have never seen a photo of him wearing it.

“The YouGov/Sky News poll asked this week whether voters thought he would be a good or bad prime minister. Almost half – 47% – said bad. The older the voter, the more pessimistic they are.

Sir Keir is starting from a low base – not as bad as Rishi Sunak, but still bad. By contrast, only 33% said they thought he’d be good.

That level of enthusiasm suggests Sir Keir may not enjoy much of a public opinion honeymoon, just at a point where he is likely to have to start by making difficult decisions, most notably on raising taxes.

One of the themes of this election has been the party’s clarity that while it will promise not to raise income tax, national insurance and corporation tax, no such bar exists on other taxes.“

[Sky News]

He will probably raise the level of VAT. Even a 1% rise would harvest a huge amount of money. Pretty tough on poorer people, though…Maybe an increase in fuel duty, too (sold —or not— to the public as “green”, of course…).

Where is Starmer, ideologically?

“Starmer’s politics have been described as unclear and “hard to define”.[142][143][144] When he was elected as Labour leader, Starmer was widely believed to belong to the soft left of the Labour Party.[145] However, he has since moved to the political centre-ground.[146][147] By the September 2023 shadow cabinet reshuffle, most analysts concluded that Starmer had moved to the right of the party, and had demoted and marginalised those on the soft left, replacing them with Blairites.[148][149][150][128][127]

[Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer#Political_positions].

So, again, Starmer is impossible to pin down. Not socialist, not really even a social-democrat, yet also without any of the respect for private enterprise or private views that one used to see in the “small-c” conservatives.

“In April 2023, Starmer gave an interview to The Economist on defining Starmerism.[152][154] In this interview, two main strands of Starmerism were identified.[154]

The first strand focused on a critique of the British state for being too ineffective and over-centralised. The answer to this critique was to base governance on five main missions to be followed over two terms of government; these missions would determine all government policy.

The second strand was the adherence to an economic policy of “modern supply-side economics” based on expanding economic productivity by increasing participation in the labour market, mitigating the impact of Brexit and simplifying the construction planning process.[154]

[Wikipedia]

Boiled down, what that seems to suggest is another Iain Dunce Duncan Smith-style attempt to harry the poor, sick, disabled (and the middle-aged not yet of State Pension age) to poorly-paid work “opportunities”, while cutting back social security “welfare” payments harshly. Also, Starmer will cave in to the any demands of the EU.

There is no obvious suggestion that Starmer and Rachel Reeves are interested in the effect of robotics and AI, which together may destroy existing jobs by the million, thus positing the need for Basic Income.

The last strand featured is as bad, or worse: caving in to the demands of the housebuilding industry.

Starmer will probably allow the large housebuilding companies to spread their expensive but often jerry-built “little boxes, made of ticky-tacky” across the English countryside.

Starmer will no doubt talk about the “housing crisis” but fail to note that most of that is consequential upon the migration invasion (a million or more every year now). Sajid Javid, another pro-Israel puppet (now washed-up politically), also showed himself unwilling to see the facts:

Try 10-15 million (over the past 25 years, including births to immigrants)…

As to the mass immigration influx itself, Starmer-Labour will eventually stop most of the cross-Channel small-boat invasion by the simple expedient of setting up “processing centres” (maybe simple offices) in Northern France. There, the would-be invaders will, almost all of them, have their applications to enter the UK rubber-stamped.

At present, 80% of those arriving here and claiming “asylum” have their applications approved anyway (under a system that was out of date decades ago), so Starmer will simply lower the bar even further so that 90% or 95% are approved (filtering out, it will be claimed, any known criminals or terrorists— all bs of course). The public will then be sedated into complacency— far fewer “small boats” (or invaders ferried in by the RNLI, Navy, Border “Farce” etc) will be seen arriving.

In fact, the more obvious criminal/terrorist invaders will still arrive, using the “small boat” or “back of truck” methods, but the numbers will be only about a twentieth of the number now arriving. As to the rest, armed with their new Starmer-visas, they will just take the ordinary ferries.

Of course, Starmer will not “solve” the migration-invasion crisis, but just cover it up. That is what he does. There is a massive dishonesty lurking in Starmer.

More? “Starmer has pledged to halve the rates of violence against women and girls, halve the rates of serious violent crime, halve the incidents of knife crime, increase confidence in the criminal justice system, and create a ‘Charging Commission’ which would be “tasked with coming up with reforms to reverse the decline in the number of offences being solved”.[190] He has also committed to placing specialist domestic violence workers in the control rooms of every police force responding to 999 calls to support victims of abuse.[191]

In 2023, the Byline Times wrote that Starmer “actively opposes a move to proportional representation for the House of Commons”.[192]

After confirming he would not scrap the current two-child benefit cap, Starmer was criticised by many within his own party.[193]“

[Wikipedia]

There is a thread there, a thread of antipathy to civil rights; a thread of authoritarianism .

Remember how Starmer wanted even fiercer, more restrictive, and longer-lasting “lockdowns” during the 2020-2022 currency of the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic?

My response?

There are times in history when authoritarian government is inescapable; even outright —though temporary— dictatorship. However, that should not be the norm, particularly in a country such as the UK, with its history of gradually-broadening rights and freedoms.

Incidentally (?), “According to Declassified UK, Starmer is a former member of the Trilateral Commission.[225]“

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission].

In other words, Starmer is a “chosen” part of the whole NWO/ZOG matrix, and that of course includes the plan to destroy the future of the European peoples, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Starmer may take part in Jewish pre-prandial or post-prandial (?) prayers (as he has stated) but, once again, that seems to be something merely performative with him, he being an atheist anyway.

Foreign policy is easy to predict: Starmer was willing to say that the “Israelis” have every right to shut off even water to the suffering children of Gaza. He is a Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby puppet. Completely.

Other than that, Starmer will do whatever the “Americans” (the USA’s ruling circles and cabals) want him to do. So… “support” for Israel, “support” (money, arms etc ) for “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) etc.

Incidentally, there is much election bs being talked by Labour Party supporters as to how Labour will be a kinder sort of government than that of Sunak’s clowns. I doubt it. I would not put anyone in charge of such as Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, and the other Labour Friends of Israel types. As to Starmer, his support for Israel cutting off food and even water to the women and children of devastated Gaza shows just how far his much-trumpeted “compassion” goes…

If Starmer is willing to cut off food and water to the suffering civilians of Gaza, what might he be willing to do to the people of the UK?

I see no real centre to Starmer; even his doglike loyalty to Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby seems performative, yet that is the only thing that seems to mean anything at all to him.

Starmer displays no obvious ideological loyalty (as such), no old-fashioned class-loyalty (to any social class or category), and no religious loyalty (an atheist, presumably originally Church of England).

Who, really, is this?

It is hard, of course, to see evil in someone as dull as Starmer, despite the oft-quoted words of Hannah Arendt about “the banality of evil“. The expectation, I think misguided, is that Evil, whether cosmic or on the mundane plane, will somehow be more interesting than the Good.

Starmer should worry people, not because he has expressed any particularly “evil”, or even “bad” ideas (he even weaselled ab out cutting off water to families in Gaza, tried to evade the question etc), or some kind of (obviously) sinister ideological base, but more because he, like those he gathers closely around him, has no ideas beyond the most shallow. Someone trying to be elected (in effect) as Prime Minister is expected to come up with at least a few ideas, if not a coherent ideology, and Starmer either does not or cannot.

Will Starmer-Labour create a better Britain? No. I see a harsher, more intrusive police state likely to emerge. Mass immigration will continue, perhaps in even greater volume, and our towns and cities will, despite the encroaching police state, become no-go areas policed by even-less responsive paramilitary police.

Economically? A gradual downturn. The spending cuts agenda apparently very likely, combined with the cost of the continuing migration invasion of parasites, as well as the backfire effect of sanctions against Russia will ensure that.

Starmer’s government will, as predicted by Matt Goodwin, become very unpopular very quickly. However, in the absence of any real Opposition in the Commons (the Con —or possibly LibDem— official Opposition, post-GE 2024, may have only about 50 MPs), it may be possible for social nationalism to make real headway outside, in the “real world”.

Election notes

Well, we now know that 4 July 2024 is to be the fateful day. Is it a co-incidence that that is Independence Day in the USA? Does the choice of day have some symbolic, even occultic, significance? Maybe not, but there seems to be no obvious reason for that day to be the day.

Exactly 5 weeks from today.

Close to my own Electoral Calculus use yesterday.

Note the huge Lab majority, and the fact that the Cons are not even shown as the official Opposition (LibDems, incredibly). Also, the SNP predicted to lose three-quarters of their 2019 seats.

As I have been saying for a long time on the blog.

Gradually, gradually, South Africa descends into darkness. The European (white) population, which at one time (1911) was about 22% of the whole, has declined sharply since “majority rule” (African corrupt crony rule) came in 30 years ago, and is now only about 7%. Once that 7% figure drops to 1% or 2%, maybe by 2040, South Africa will go the way of the Congo, Nigeria, Zimbabwe etc.

Imagine if the Jews had never been allowed to create the Israeli state in the 1940s, and had (in the 1940s and 1930s, and also since 1956) been prevented from moving there. The whole of the Israel/Palestine situation, and much of the instability of the region, would never have developed.

If this situation continues to slide, by 2030 there will be no Germany, no Poland as we know them. Probably no Ukraine either, and quite possibly no UK, France, USA or urban Russia.

As white Northern Europeans, those of us left alive at that point would be faced with the necessity of creating almost an entirely new culture and civilization as a basic foundation for a much later super-race and super-culture: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

Ukrainian “nationalists” whose President is a corrupt and dictatorial Jewish comedian incapable of running anything, let alone a large and, until recently, relatively civilized country.

Myerson. Again…

A pro-Israel Jew-Zionist obsessive, and a member of the two Zionist organizations (UK Lawyers for Israel, and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) which have been, inter alia, making malicious complaints about me for a decade, complaints which have resulted in both my (unlawful as well as wrongful) 2016 disbarment and my 2023 free speech conviction under the repressive Communications Act 2003, s.127).

Here we are, at 1224 on a Thursday early afternoon, and Myerson has already tweeted, by my count, 49 times today, mostly to mock others.

This is not, in my view, an individual fitted to sit in judgment over others as a Recorder (p/t judge).

1229: make that 51 times…

[Update, 1528 same day: now 64 tweets and counting… has he nothing else to do?].

[Update, 1737 same day: now 76 tweets and counting...].

…and —wouldn’t you know it?— pro-Israel puppet Iain Dale stands, in that Daily Telegraph photo, with the branding of the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” behind him.

It would be good were Dale to fail to be elected, but Tunbridge Wells has not elected anyone not from the Conservative Party since the present constituency was established in 1974: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunbridge_Wells_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Even Peter Oborne, though, does not mention, expressly, the “JQ”, or that the msm in the UK is not free at all (for that reason).

Note the BICOM connection. The half-Jewish Israel activist, former MP, and now life peer —thanks to Starmer— Ruth Smeeth was at one point one of its directors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth.

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

Ruth Smeeth has also worked for other Jewish and Israeli organizations.

I have to admit that I did not know that Myerson had called another Jew a “house Jew“. I wonder whether that would count as “grossly offensive“? It would if I published it, no doubt…

Ha. Quite. Scotland, were it to vote for the SNP’s faux-“Independence”, would not be governed by Westminster, true, but it would be governed by the EU, by American or NWO/ZOG influence (NATO etc), by the international banking system etc, and domestically probably by a Pakistani “Scotsman”. Who are the SNP trying to fool? The Scottish people, I suppose.

I see that the SNP is now predicted to win as few as 12 seats (out of 57) this year, from 48 (out of 59) won in 2019. I think that the SNP has had its day as an overwhelming force in Scotland. In 2015, it suddenly shot into prominence with 56 out of 59 Scottish Westminster seats, but the last 9 years have been riven with scandal and underperformance. Above all, not only has Independence not happened, fewer Scots now support it than did a decade ago; it is a minority cause.

Good grief. What a deadhead. This is him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Logan_(politician). Hard to believe that the Foreign Office employed him in some capacity for a (brief? Not so brief?) period (in Shanghai). He also worked for a Chinese company. The gap between when he left f/t education around 2007 and when he started to contest elections (2017) is about 10 years, so there may have been other activity somewhere.

I examined Natalie Elphicke and her defection on yesterday’s blog post.

There should be, must be, a cultural purge in the UK, taking in almost all present-day vulgar pseudo-comedians. Let’s see how loud they laugh then…

“BREAKING | The new Dutch cabinet just nominated top justice ministry official and former intelligence chief Dick Schoof as the “preferred candidate” for Prime Ministership. And the situation is bad. Real bad.

Dick Schoof – or “Mr. Deepstate” as I’d like to call him – is the former head of the Dutch Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) as well as the former national coordinator of the counter-terrorism unit (NCTV) which is known to focus on combatting “anti-government extremism”. As if that isn’t bad enough, he was also: – behind the Dutch covid regime – involved in the Trump-Russia hoax – behind the cover-up of flight MH17 reports – spying on Dutch citizens here on @X with fake accounts operated by the government.

He’s currently the secretary-general at the Ministry of Justice and Security, which makes him the highest ranking civil servant. He’s quite literally the personification of a technocratic bureaucrat and, – being a former member of the Dutch Labour party – the exact opposite of what the Dutch population has voted for during the elections last November.

@geertwilderspvv should have never given up his rightful claim to Prime Ministership. With a man like this leading the country I’m sure the digital surveillance state we’ve been warning for all these years will be here sooner than expected.”

Well, at least he has been identified…

[Adolf Hitler, watercolour, 1912]

Election 2024: a stray thought

So far, we have seen the not very exciting Reform UK get recent opinion poll ratings of between 9% and 15%. Not enough to get any seats if spread out evenly across the country.

However, reading the latest reaction to the absurd “National Service” idea floated by Sunak (you can read my own thoughts about that on the blog for yesterday and the previous day), it occurs to me that Reform UK might, just, do better than the polls suggest.

We have seen, in the past, people too ashamed or embarrassed to say to polling staff that they support the Conservative Party; maybe that is true here too, and that a proportion of the “Don’t Know” responders (recently often a plurality of those responding) are really secret Reform UK supporters, or secret nationalist or semi-nationalist supporters, or just secretly angry people.

That may be completely wrong, and we shall only know on 5 July 2024, but I could imagine quite a few people, either on the 4th or, before that, when filling out postal voting forms, thinking, “so **** it!” and voting Reform UK out of anger, frustration, or a wish to hurt the Conservative Party clowns, or the System in general.

Just a thought…

That 124,227 is only about 5%, not even, of the whole migrant influx over the past 7 years (at least 3 million). Then add the births to all migrants. Unsustainable, and in fact catastrophic to the future of this country.

What the misnamed “Conservatives” have apparently not quite understood is that most Reform UK voters are not voting Reform with the serious idea of winning many —or even any— seats in the Commons. They are voting Reform as a massive howl of protest (cf. the Brexit Referendum) and/or to give the Conservative Party an equally massive kicking.

Israel’s most important weapon is the pro-Israel Zionist “community” or web in many countries, particularly in the metaphorical West.

That Lazarus individual tweeted to another elderly Jew-Zionist woman several years ago that I (and someone else, of whom I had never even heard) should be given strychnine to drink. At the time, I could not be bothered to report it to the police, or even to Twitter, though “those” types mentioned themselves spend much of their time sneaking around and making malicious and contrived complaint to police and others.

There is a web of such “individuals” on Twitter/X, including most if not all of the accounts mentioned above, and mostly connected with the tiny but well-funded so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, itself a cabal which constantly “complains”, often using outright lies (as exposed recently when its “CEO”, Gideon Falter, made demonstrably false claims about the Metropolitan Police); the “CAA” also tries to suborn police and Crown Prosecution Service personnel.

Even the Jewish/Zionist lobby has turned against the “CAA” liars recently.

I myself was expelled from Twitter/X in 2018 by reason of a concerted campaign by several of “those” mentioned, with others; I have no interest now in returning to Twitter/X.

Not very many people really want “Labour” to rule over them, but the first priority, which people really very much want, is to scrap this “Conservative” misgovernment, and stamp on its remains.

I see that Matt Goodwin’s view is not far from my own.

Poor little thing.

The only bright aspect to this horrible brutality is that millions of people are awakening, all over the world.

Let us hope that idiots in positions of power, whether in Poland, the Baltic states, or France, are listening.

Goodwin’s point is vitiated by his turning a blind eye to the Jew-Zionist influence permeating UK politics. My own attitude is closer to that of the cartoon below:

As a Northern European social-national thinker, I refuse to support either side in the Gaza/Israel/Palestine situation. It is more true to say that while I despise the Israeli side for its brutality and quasi-psychotic sadism yet, by the same token, I cannot support any form of violent Islamism, as such. I oppose the pervasive Jew-Zionist influence in UK politics and society, yet also oppose the migration-invasion of Britain, whether by Islamists, black hordes, or others.

I have, incidentally, not seen Goodwin say anything at all supportive of the suffering millions in Gaza, most of whom after all are women and children. Goodwin, like so many people seen frequently on UK mass media, is supportive, it seems, of Israel, or afraid to seem critical of it and/or Jew-Zionism and/or Zionists.

“Issued with formal advice“? Myerson’s defaults were surely worse than those attributed to me in 2016, yet I was disbarred (it later turned out, unlawfully as well as wrongly) because I tweeted a mere 5 supposedly “offensive” tweets or retweets (out of over 150,000, over about 6 years). Justice? I think not. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Jew-Zionist hypocrite Myerson, whose recent evidence on oath as a witness on the losing side of a significant legal case [Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor] was given little if any weight by a High Court judge, should be removed in short order as Recorder (p/t judge), and also disbarred, in my opinion.

Incidentally, Myerson belongs to the very organization that complained (via another Jew barrister, of whom I had previously never even heard) about me in 2014— “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”]; he also belongs to the malicious and conspiratorial “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which was behind other contrived and malicious complaints against me, such as the one that resulted in my being put on trial in November 2023.

Raus!

When I look at the MPs in the Westminster monkeyhouse, or at least 80%+ of them, what amazes me is the sheer patience (or is it lazy complacency?) of the British people.

Not very Parliamentary language, but truth is its own defence (or used to be…).

“They” love to “report” people, but if it happens to them, they recoil in horror, and from that moment become, yet again, “innocent victims”.

As to Mark Lewis, he is an appallingly bad (bad in more than one sense) lawyer. He should be struck off the solicitors’ roll.

Lewis was always a self-publicist first and foremost. The Jewish lobby so embedded in the “British” msm has always given him a free ride, publicizing any legal successes (mostly very easy wins, such as the “Jack Monroe” defamation suit against Katie Hopkins), but keeping silent about the many times when Lewis has failed.

As previously blogged, I (unlike the seemingly well-meaning James Wilson) have no sympathy for the Jew-Zionist defendants. One has committed suicide, the other two are now as good as bankrupt, with one apparently likely to lose his family house, unless (and here’s the rub) he sues Mark Lewis, and possibly/probably the firm of which Lewis is a partner, Patron Law, in professional negligence and/or otherwise.

To recycle Lewis’s own arrogant boast, but with a twist, “someone can be a fanatical Jew-Zionist twister and lawyer, but at least they can be a bankrupt and struck-off one“…

Or deal with them another way, and so save the air fares.

That is unarguable.

I agree with Goodwin. What Mackinlay is suffering and has suffered, I should not wish on (most of) my worst enemies. However, it is not wrong or in bad taste to note that, throughout his time as MP, Mackinlay has voted, consistently, in Parliament to reduce social security/”welfare” benefits, including those paid to the sick and disabled.

Mackinlay and his wife have high incomes, and many “perks” etc. Many sick and disabled people struggle by without such privilege. I wonder whether his recent experiences have in any way changed his outlook on the life-challenges facing less-affluent people in the UK?

Intriguing, and not a little alarming.

By my use of Electoral Calculus, that would result in a House of Commons with only 30 Con MPs (Lab 531, LibDem 47, Green 2, Reform UK 0, SNP 19, Plaid Cymru 3, plus Northern Irish seats and Speaker).

An “elected” “Labour” dictatorship, and the LibDems as the entirely nominal and entirely ineffective official Opposition.

I feel very sorry for the Palestinian Arabs, suffering as they are under the yoke of the Israeli Jews, but I would not want many or even any to come to the UK.

For one thing, many of them, quite understandably, blame the UK and maybe its people for allowing the UK to do the bidding of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, sending military aid etc to Israel, and so on; there may be a degree of hostility.

Secondly, if large numbers, perhaps the more active of the Palestinian Arabs, come to the UK, the resistance to Israel in Israel/Palestine itself will be weakened.

Thirdly, of course, I oppose the migration-invasion in general.

As to tweeter “@AJPhillipsEsq”, I agree with his point.

Politics as a comedic “gig”. Eddie Izzard is only one symptom of the sickness of both politics and society in the contemporary UK.

Mirabile dictu! For once, I agree with “Judge” Rinder (TV show “judge” character).

Do I understand from that clip that Andrew Pierce, that little puppet of finance-capitalist propaganda posing as analysis, actually had the gall to try to argue the point?

The water companies should be taken into national ownership forthwith, and with little if any compensation paid to the mostly foreign shareholders.

Salus populi suprema lex esto— the welfare of the people is the supreme law [Cicero].

Legalistic points (in public international law) about “expropriation” can be ignored.

As to why Labour-label has not pledged to do what is necessary, it is because the real differences between Con-label and Lab-label are few, especially when it comes to finance-capitalism.

That tendency has been around for a long time in the UK, but more pointedly since small upsurges of British national politics started to be listened to by a significant minority.

Nick Griffin was attacked by a stupid young woman about 14 years ago; Nigel Farage as well, several years ago. The Brexit shambles has added fuel to that fire.

If someone such as me writes a well-reasoned (usually), humorous (occasionally) blog, he may well be subjected to State repression at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, but a (supposed) comedienne such as Jo Brand can make a “joke”, effectively inciting cretins to pour acid on those whose views they dislike, and the “comic” idiot will face no penalty, and even get more work from the BBC (thanks to the “licence” tax imposed on the legally-captured audience, many of whom —like me— rarely even bother with BBC these days). See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/06/16/__trashed/

Talking point

…”and answer came there none“…

I myself could attempt an answer but, as many will know, the small but (inevitably) well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] managed to have me put on trial late last year —November 2023— after some 7 years of malicious and lying complaints by them, including the very weird ex-MP, now “Lord”, Ian Austin, writing directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions about me).

The Hampshire Constabulary and “Clown” Prosecution Service eventually caved in to the whining demands of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.

Representing myself, I very nearly got off at half-time on the equivalent of “no case to answer”, but was convicted in the end of having published 5 blog posts containing material deemed to have been “grossly offensive” under Communications Act 2003, s.127, a piece of law so badly flawed that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.

The case hinged upon 5 blog posts out of about 1,800 published since late 2016, and out of about 1,000 published in the 3 years prior to charge (3 years being the “backstop” time limitation).

The CPS and police wasted hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours of their supposedly precious time “trawling” (as the woman in charge of the CPS office in question put it) through thousands of pages of material.

The result was that, despite the “Clown” Prosecution Service and its outside Counsel having tried to make this pitiful little matter into a “State Trial” (in the historical sense), the sentence of the learned District Judge in question was that I undertake 15 “rehabilitation days” (mostly, in fact, quite short meetings) with the Probation Service (and spread over the nine months of March-December 2024), and pay notional costs totalling £734.

I missed a trick in that I perhaps could have asked for a reduction in costs based on the fact that the CPS asked for an adjournment of a week so that their Counsel could apply for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me, which he did. The very experienced District Judge (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) however refused that Application and preferred my argument; indeed, he anticipated much of it.

I was tired, unsurprisingly, and failed to ask for the costs of the unnecessary extra (part-) day in court.

Never mind. All comes to he who waits…

So, reverting to that question about the Jewish lobby on the radio, I prefer not to make the fairly obvious answer as to why all those political candidates (not sure for what election; maybe the Manchester mayoral election; maybe not) turned out for the Jewish lobby, but not for the elderly, disabled and poor English people. I think that my blog readers will guess aright.

Incidentally, I am still paying off that £734 costs order by instalments. If anyone would care to help by donating a few pounds and/or sharing the link, I should be most grateful: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Finally, I had until today never heard of Eddie Nestor MBE. Sounds like an honest fellow, anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Nestor. The West Indians often seem more alert than echt-English people in respect of “this question”.

If only more people on radio and TV (especially white English people) were willing to stand up —even a little— to “that” special-interest lobby in the honest way that the said Nestor has done.

More about the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor [for more, see previous blog posts]

“Here we go. One of the Defendants has told me this:

“He [Mark Lewis of Patron Law] also told me that there was no way I could lose any money as I would win at least one of the claims and the costs would be so substantial to you that it would end up in credit to my side.

This advice began to change dramatically after the result came in. When I said that I won two of the four, he responded with a very different picture.”

I do not know if this is true. But, if it is true, then: (a) it is terrible advice; and (b) it suggests Lewis continued to provide advice to this Defendant after identifying a conflict in May 2023. If true, it is scandalous conduct. @MLewisLawyer @sra_solicitors.”

We are supposedly a civilized society under law. That means that, unlike in the Old Wild West, Mark Lewis (and/or his pack of colleagues) cannot be tarred and feathered, and then run out of town on a rail (or rails), but what can be done is for the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority to take action resulting in Lewis’s removal from the solicitors’ roll.

For more about Lewis, see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/

Incidentally, Lewis is a longstanding “Patron” and co-conspirator with the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Lewis has been acting both dishonestly and fraudulently for many years. Time to boot him out and back to Eilat (Israel) where he apparently now has his domicile.

Once he loses the General Election later this year, or early in the New Year, the little Indian money-juggler will probably decamp, with his wife, to California. He may have been born here (in Southampton, in 1980), and educated here (Winchester, followed by Oxford) but he has no real roots here. The only difference between him and millions of other non-white “migrants” (or offspring of migrants) is the vast amount of money he has, mainly via his wife, who was born in India and seems to have arrived in the UK sometime around 2012, via California and the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akshata_Murty.

Amusing. When I was a barrister based in Exeter (though travelling all over England and even overseas on legal kommandirovki, I was briefed a few times by South West Water. Their legal department was, I think, very small. I met once or twice with the head of legal affairs and a few of his subordinates at their offices in a business park by Exeter, but I think, from memory, that there were really not that many staff working there, even including office staff such as administrators. That would have been sometime around 2005.

I should add that not everyone was happy with the South West Water product even that long ago, but my own house was supplied by a private natural spring.

Myerson should not be sitting in judgment over anyone, particularly (real) English people. Those directly affected by his behaviour should complain to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office https://www.complaints.judicialconduct.gov.uk/ and/or to the Bar Standards Board https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/for-the-public/reporting-concerns.html.

“They” are always very brave when they have, or think they have, the power and their victims no power. If and when “they” start to come off worst, then the pseudo-“victim” character emerges.

“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be removed from that position until the end of the special operation, said the former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor in the show on YouTube channel Judging Friday.

There is also a possible scenario in which the leader of the Kyiv regime will be allowed to leave the country and go, for example, to Cyprus, the colonel believes.

Russian forces can reach Odessa, if the Kiev regime does not agree to negotiations, otherwise the Russian army will close the passage on the front line east of the Dnieper. Russia will ensure the creation of a neutral demilitarized zone, he added.”

Ukraine’s army largely destroyed as the ‘forever war’ goes on

Well worth reading. Pity that the msm drones pumping out “Ukraine” (Kiev regime and NWO/ZOG) propaganda cannot produce analysis such as that (or as regularly seen on this blog).

The Shadowy Conglomerate Behind LBC

I have noted previously on the blog the Jew-Zionist ownership of LBC radio (the Jewish aspect is not expressly noted by Byline Times). I do not think that it is a co-incidence that the propaganda of the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” is mostly now broadcast by LBC, Murdoch-owned “no-one watches” Talk TV and —less so after “CAA” creature Gideon Falter was caught out lying about a contrived incident recently— Murdoch-owned Sky News.

Well, all right, but what part of “a million non-white invaders are entering the UK every year under a supposedly Conservative government” has Matt Goodwin missed?

Is Goodwin saying that even more invaders may enter the UK under the next Labour Party government? I do not dispute that that is possible, but once you get to where we now are, the difference is slight. We are, as a decent European society, going down, fast. Labour misgovernment after 2024 may accelerate the process, but not hugely, to be honest.

The number one aim in 2024 has to be to crush the Conservative Party, even at the expense of a Labour Party “elected” dictatorship under Israel puppet Keir Starmer. That will unbalance the rigged “two main parties” System, and make it easier for a real social-national movement to emerge.

“Swiss intelligence:

Lloyd Austin was unable to tell the Senate what would be considered a victory for Ukraine.

JACQUES BO WARNED: TACTICS WITHOUT STRATEGY ARE JUST VANITY – BEFORE DEFEAT FORMER.

Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Beau has announced that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was unable to answer what “victory over Russia” in Ukraine should look like. He stated that Austin was asked at a meeting of the NATO Armed Forces Committee to define what would be considered a victory in Ukraine. And that he had no answer or deliberately avoided answering.

On this occasion, Bo pointed out and warned: “If the West does not know what it is fighting for in Eastern Europe, then it will not be able to fight any longer and gain an advantage.” In his opinion, tactics without strategy are just futility in the face of defeat.“

Quite. As pointed out on this blog for the past couple of years.

The dying “Conservative” misgovernment wheels out scribbler (((Sarah Vine))) in a desperate attempt to blame midwives for 14+ years of government cutbacks.

[Ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, 1945]

Late tweets

Whether or not what the Israeli Jews have done in Gaza over the past 7 months can be, legalistically, labelled as “genocide” (and there are legions of Jewish lawyers in the UK and elsewhere weaselling to try to convince people to the contrary), the Israeli war crimes surely speak for themselves; just look at the damage.

The same with the numbers of women and children killed. So if the number stands at, say, 10,000, or 20,000 rather than 30,000, is that OK? Is it only “genocide” if the number is [notional hundreds of thousands, or millions], or if the victims are Jewish?

All charities and other NGOs in the UK need a massive purge.

It’s like a Hammer horror film poster from around 1972.

The Dutch police and army are very brave when facing unarmed civilians, but either run away or surrender when faced with determined armed opposition (as in Bosnia in the 1990s).

2024 could be the year when the stalemate on all fronts is broken, and when Russian forces can make a massive general advance north and west, across all of Eastern Ukraine.

Saturday quiz

Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.

Talking point

Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.

I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).

I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Starmer’s priorities are: 1. Whatever Israel and the Jewish lobby want; 2. To eliminate any remaining free speech (and refer to previous priority); 3. To destroy what is left of Britain as a real nation, rather than a geographic space filled with globalized economic entities, including humanoid entities (and refer to no.1 above); 4. The self-interest of “Labour” politicians and hangers-on [e.g., most recently, Ayesha Hazarika].

They should have been kicked into the gutter and stamped on. They are nothing but sub-terrorists, using their age and sex as a shield.

Just Stop Oil is a pathetic excuse for a cause or ideology; worthless.

Those ridiculous old “entitleds”, crowing about their “Christian” faith, will try to destroy a (genuine) “national treasure”, but probably welcome the migration-invasion which will destroy this country and its society long before any “climate change” (however caused).

Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).

4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).

I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

Both lots of demonstrators are deluded in their own ways.

I used to go to Brighton Beach (New York) occasionally. Early 1990s. It was a largely Russian-speaking neighbourhood then. There was a large shop selling good bread, and pickled herrings and cucumbers etc.

I usually arrived on the”El” from Manhattan.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Macron is an idiot. France would not survive war (totally pointless and unnecessary war) with Russia. One Sarmat-2 missile might take out, i.e. destroy, about 90% of the whole of France. I value France, where I lived for 3-4 years; I do not want to see that beautiful country destroyed.

Macron is yet another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/, my assessment of Macron from 5+ years ago.

Worth reading the explanation.

That case is a good example of how some Jewish lawyers abuse the English legal system. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

“Mr Justice Nicklin said this in another case: “It is likely that this error occurred because he [Mr Lewis] had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.“

[per James Wilson]

Dishonest and incompetent…

Both Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke are fanatical Jew-Zionists. Lewis even lives, some or most of the time, in Eilat, Israel.

As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.

Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:

Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.

When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…

Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Incidentally, should anyone wish to help defray the costs of my own recent free speech trial, the crowdfunder is still open: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Could Andrew Neil be more craven? All his money, yet no real independence, in my opinion.

Like Andrew Neil (pre-2024), I have never watched Eurovision and (unlike Neil) do not intend to change my habit today. I have no interest at all in the Israeli contestant, positive or negative, or in any of the other howling freaks and noisemakers taking part.

I did notice that Denmark’s entry is an African! Not even a beautiful one. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“…

“The number of foreign mercenaries participating in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by two thirds compared to March 2022 , writes “Business Insider”.

“Half of the mercenaries come from Latin American countries hoping to make money. They are there for money,” said Carl Larson, a former American soldier who fought in Ukraine.

He also admitted that, while he was in Ukraine, he realized that foreign mercenaries would not be able to stop the Russian forces and that they could only delay their advance “perhaps for an hour“.

Talking point

https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/freedom-of-speech

From the newspapers

https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/talktv-channel-shut-down-just-32279127

“TalkTV has been shut down as a terrestrial TV channel by News UK. The Rupert Murdoch owned channel will be taken off air in the summer just two years after it was launched. The move comes after Piers Morgan quit TalkTV and moved his Uncensored show to YouTube permanently.“

[Daily Mirror]

I had missed that report from about 7 weeks ago. I have now seen this:

“TalkTV was a British free-to-air opinion-oriented[a] television and radio channel launched on 25 April 2022, owned and operated by News UK. The channel initially broadcast on Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Virgin Media and was available via the Internet on YouTube, later deciding in the face of poor viewer ratings to become available on the Internet only from 30 April 2024.[3]“

[Wikipedia].

It does not surprise me. Hardly anyone watched Talk TV; I had not done so even once, and I doubt that I know anyone who ever watched it.

It seems that, over the 2 years of its operations, Talk TV lost about £90M, and that the losses were increasing.

After my sentencing hearing about 6 weeks ago, Talk TV was one of the few msm outlets to report on the matter. Entirely inaccurately. They did not have a reporter in court, so must have taken their “fact(s)” either from the “Clown” Prosecution Service or from the equally-“inaccurate” “Campaign Against Antisemitism” website, though neither of those claimed that I had been imprisoned. Indeed, the “CAA” has already been whining about how the sentence was too lenient.

According to Talk TV’s “report” on its website, and linked to via tweet, both of which I have seen, and which are still extant, I was “jailed“! Presumably a Freudian slip by one of the wannabee “journalists” [who were] employed there. Or should that read (((“journalists”)))? Wishful thinking, on their part?

In reality, my sentence was one of a “community order”, comprising 15 days or part-days (the longest meeting—so far— about 2 hours) with the Probation Service, spread over 9 months, plus a costs order amounting to £734. See https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

The mass media operations run by the aged cuckold, Murdoch, and his offspring have never been notable for their veracity, of course.

Anyway, it now looks as if the “journalists” of Talk TV, who could not get even the most basic facts right, will perforce be looking for other jobs, or other work. Good riddance.

[Update, 29 April 2024: just saw a few tweets which may explain why Talk TV was so keen to publicize my recent free speech conviction and sentence; turns out that one Jonny Gould, a Talk TV presenter (or perhaps now former presenter, looking at the news related above), who is a Jew very involved with issues around both “antisemitism” and Israel, is also (allegedly and according to the tweets I have seen) acquainted with (those tweets said a “fan” of) the egregious Mark Lewis —see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/— of both the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and “UK Lawyers for Israel”. True, it may be that that is a co-incidence, but to my mind to accept that proposition would be asking a lot].

Why is this surprising to anyone? The UK almost shut down its society and economy for two years (supposedly because of a virus that actually was killing very few people), huge numbers of parasitic non-Europeans are entering the country, and are given housing, food, money etc out of public funds, and very large amounts are being transferred either to the Jewish-Zionist regime in Kiev, or to Israel in the form of air and naval operations.

Typical. Playing the victim while trying to persecute others. Absolutely typical.

(((LBC)))…

Not just Falter. Several of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” Prominente have been trying, over years, to pervert the course of justice in respect of a number of people, including me.

Late tweets seen

Well, I have repeatedly pointed out what type of (((individuals))) literally own LBC and most if not all of those working therein…

Trump seems to have the edge, just about, as far as the popular vote is concerned, but whether that is enough I do not know.

The steep decline below replacement-level seems to have started from around that very significant year in the 33-year cycle, 1989. The decline seems to show no sign of stopping, though.

Not a very good week: I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— only 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 7, and 9 (the same three that Rentoul answered correctly).

LBC is owned by a Jew who inherited (or was given) huge wealth; see previous blog posts. It is not just a question of ownership. For some years until fairly recently, the political editor of LBC was a Jew who always parrotted “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] rubbish on Twitter, including a few mentions of me.

Even other Jews seem to despise Gideon Falter.

The only reason I did not take up UCL’s offer to join their 1984-1987 law degree course as a belated student was because I noticed on a visit that the existing course was packed with Jewish students. Not my kind of milieu…

It is not (yet) mandatory in the UK to profess —or pretend, as many do— to like “them” as a group.

When I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, one of the 5 tweets that sank me was that describing Gove (accurately) as an expenses cheat and puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. I was unaware, in and prior to 2016, that Gove was —and is— a cocaine abuser, a user of other drugs and, not infrequently, a shambling drunk. Even his Jewish (I believe) wife dumped him not so long ago, for reasons not yet made public.

The state of diplomatic relations China-USA, made obvious by that cold shouldering, is in the deep freeze. Strategically, the USA is now being outplayed by the China-Russia axis.

Several interesting things there. Firstly, it seems that the UK authorities are at long last waking up to the fact that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “British” Jews every year go to Israel for what amounts to a form of paramilitary training— training in the use of pistols, submachineguns and long weapons (rifles etc) and even, perhaps, in some cases, explosives. They then return to the UK. How many are sleeper agents run by MOSSAD, Aman (Israeli military intelligence) or other Jewish/Israeli secret and conspiratorial structures?

What genuine “Israeli student” flies into East Midlands Airport anyway? Was it a dual passport holder?

Second, note how tweeter “Brian of London”, whose name suggests, superficially, that he identifies as “British”, in fact quite openly identifies with Israel and not the UK, referring to this country as the “UK regime“. A termite who was burrowing away from within, but now seems to be in Tel Aviv.

Third, tweeter Jake Wallis Simons was a scribbler at the Daily Mail for some years and was “Associate Global Editor” there some years ago. Indeed, he wrote a Daily Mail piece about me, after I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in late 2016: see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3881726/Barrister-thrown-profession-anti-Semitic-tweets.html.

Now, he is editor of the Jewish Chronicle.

There is more. Despite only being a half-Jew (his father apparently not having been a Jew), he was himself at one time booked on an Israeli programme which takes young Jews (and part-Jews, it seems) to Israel, and trains them in military skills:

“Unlike almost all of his classmates, Jake opted to do A-levels, which he undertook at the less religious Hasmonean High School. But he decided that his future lay in Israel on the Hesder programme, which combines yeshivah with IDF service. When his mother suggested that he toughen up before joining the army, he began training at a local martial arts gym.“

[Jewish Chronicle] https://www.thejc.com/life-and-culture/the-editors-story-jake-wallis-simons-on-what-israelophobia-means-to-him-emb99oxt.

Suddenly, his plans changed, he says:

“He cancelled his plans to go to Israel and went travelling for two years in south-east Asia instead, studying Chinese in Taiwan and abandoning any sense of his Jewish heritage, let alone observance.”

[Jewish Chronicle]

Are we missing something in that story?

Britain is right to defend itself against hostile Islamism, but that is only half, if even that, of the story. There are, also, other enemies of the British people.

Incidentally, the “Brian of London” Twitter/X account often retweets “Tommy Robinson” stuff, as here below:

“Brian of London” also retweeted this:

In fact, leaving the obvious anti-Islamist Jewish/Israeli propaganda aside, there is more than a kernel of truth in that clip.

Taking just the UK, over a million unwanted immigrants and/or “invaders” every year and, at the same time, about 200,000 mostly real British people leaving for Australia, New Zealand etc (the younger emigrants) or France, Spain etc (the older people, including retirees).

The whole nature of the UK population is changing, and very definitely not for the better.

Soon the voters will be dumping the Conservative Friends of Israel misgovernment for a Labour Friends of Israel “elected” dictatorship— Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall etc.

The civil service, police etc are still, as one mandarin put it in the 1960s, engaged in “the management of decline“, but the slow decline and mixed picture of the 1960s has now moved on to a steeper slope of gradual but much faster collapse of society.

Even now, the public is not being told the truth, in case they turn to some form of social nationalism.

One sees, not least on Twitter/X, the “useful idiots”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits, those who think that you can import a million immigrants a year (mostly unskilled, many parasitic, quite a number criminal or actually terroristic) without any negative effects on society.

Those “useful idiots” think that the only reason that housing is unavailable or unaffordable, that trains are crowded, that the very roads are literally falling to pieces, that the courts and prisons are swamped, and that pay and working-age State benefits are worth less almost daily, is “government policy”, and that ditching the “Tories” —and I have no quarrel with that, as such— will usher in a kind of pseudo-Labour paradise, or at least something better. Think again.

Look ahead a little. Where will the UK be in, say, 2034, when the population has increased by another ~15 million via immigration and births to recent immigrants?

There are other problems, other factors, but mass immigration (not only the 10% or 5% arriving via the cross-Channel migration-invasion) is key.

There is only one hope— that the real people of Britain turn to intelligent real social nationalism. I do not mean turn to the “beer bottle throwers” of the controlled opposition. I mean real social nationalism. It happened before; it can happen again.

Dan Poulter MP

Certainly I had never heard of Dan Poulter, as far as I recall.

Unlike the above tweeter, though, I am willing to take this resignation as a matter of principle or protest, rather than one of self-interest.

Poulter’s constituency, Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, is a very safe Conservative seat. It has been held by Con Party MPs since its first election in 1997, and even in that so-called “Labour landslide” year was won comfortably enough by Poulter’s predecessor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Suffolk_and_North_Ipswich_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Poulter himself was first elected in 2010, and has never received less than 50% of the vote; his vote-share in 2019 was no less than 62.7%. He has obviously resigned as a protest designed to damage the Sunak misgovernment as much as possible, with the local elections coming up, followed by a general election sometime this year.

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

Late tweets

Despite the huge number of Americans who love animals, there is a certain stratum composed of others who are absolutely horrible. For example, the “declawing” of cats, which is against the law in decent countries, is not unusual in the USA (because some cat “owners” value their vulgar furniture more than the welfare of their companion animals).

So, after having killed her puppy, she somehow “got the bit between her teeth” and decided that she wanted to kill her goat as well. She sounds dangerous.

That woman sounds dangerous, as already said. One can only hope that something unpleasant happens to her. She certainly sounds like a thoroughly bad woman overall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristi_Noem; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristi_Noem#Dog_shooting_controversy; https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/27/kristi-noem-trump-vp-book-killing-dog.

and that includes the half of the American population that is non-white and tends to breed more.

I agree with his view on that issue. of course…

Freedom of expression, free speech, are both dead; those connected (former) rights have been all but killed off in the UK. What I fail to see is how Fox cannot see which element has (((mainly))) killed them off…

I tend to agree with Fox on this (speaking as a defendant in a recent free speech trial: see https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J).

I may as well say a few words about Fox and his recent civil trial in libel.

For Fox as politician of sorts, or his tiny Reclaim Party, I have little time. A political bad joke, and pro-Israel to boot. Not a serious party, despite Reclaim apparently having 100,000 registered supporters.

As to the recent libel case, I have read a few tweets, and also, as a consequence, the published judgment on damages: https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/blake-and-seymour-v-fox-2/, and the main judgment (liability judgment): https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Blake-and-Seymour-v-Fox-Judgment.pdf.

The liability judgment goes into some detail in respect of the facts and the relevant and applicable law, and is worth reading (though not everyone will want to read all 41 pages).

What strike me are the similarities between the Fox case and that of Katie Hopkins in 2016-2017 [as to which, see the basic Wikipedia summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Hopkins#Jack_Monroe].

In the Katie Hopkins case, Ms. Hopkins had expressed a purported (but inaccurate) fact about “Jack Monroe” (the online “grifter” known as the “Bootstrap Cook”) having vandalized a war memorial (which she had not done). Plainly libellous, and also untrue. A war memorial had been vandalized, but not by “Jack Monroe”, who was not even present. Ms. Hopkins should have backed down, settled at an early stage, and thus not had to take to trial a hopeless case; the failure of the defence eventually resulted in Ms. Hopkins having to sell her house, mainly to cover the legal costs of the Claimant, “Jack Monroe”.

Ms. Hopkins had been too proud and, frankly, too foolish to settle early on.

In the Fox case, Laurence Fox had impetuously (at first) called the Claimants “paedophiles“, which as the judge points out in the judgment, is plainly defamatory in most situations. It turns out that the Claimants were, on the evidence, not “paedophiles”. Again, Fox should have settled early. However, as with the Hopkins case, pride seems to have got in the way. The result is that Fox not only has to pay his own legal team (I presume) but that of the Claimants.

The judge (para. 166 of the liability judgment) put the primary key matter clearly:

“Mr Fox’s labelling of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour as paedophiles was, on the evidence, probabilities and facts of this case, seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless. The law affords few defences to defamation of this sort. Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defence recognised in law.”

There is another link between the Hopkins and Fox cases— the involvement of the egregious Jewish-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, a Patron of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Years ago, Lewis used to attack me frequently on Twitter (and was involved in other activities offline), prior to his being censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for similar vitriolic attacks on others; after that, Lewis decamped to Israel, but retained a foothold in London, sub nom Patron Law, the solicitors for the Claimants in the Fox case.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/

In both the Hopkins and Fox cases, neither of the defendants had any realistic defence, though I can see, having now read the judgment(s) in the Fox case, that his Counsel put up a good fight in a near-hopeless situation.

I have no idea as to the means available to Laurence Fox, or the likelihood of his being able to satisfy both the damages and the costs (presumably to be assessed if not agreed), but it may be that he will appeal; I cannot say. He may be wondering whether he has anything to lose, but of course I cannot express a view, knowing nothing of his financial situation.

I am not “against” Fox. I agree with many, not all, of his views (not of course as to Israel and the Jewish lobby), and I do not think that (as far as I can see or have read) he is a “bad person”. I do think that he is to some extent a “silly boy”, so to speak.

One final thing. I recently blogged about the result of the recent civil trial, also in libel, Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor. In that case, some Jew-Zionists defamed a college lecturer, tried to ruin his life, produced other notorious Jews as false witnesses, and (or so a witness alleged in court) even tried to give a substantial bribe to a witness. Result? The lecturer won his case, but was awarded only £30,000 plus (modest, it seems) costs (the Fox case resulted in two awards of £90,000, plus —no doubt inflated— costs).

In fact, the egregious Lewis was also involved in the Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon et al case in some capacity (though not as solicitor of record, according to the published judgment), this time on the losing side (in a sense, in that the defence witnesses were all known to him; some if not all were members of the “CAA” and/or “UK Lawyers for Israel”, as is Lewis), and (from what has emerged on Twitter/X) may have also mis-advised at least one of the losing defendants, who may thereby now have to sell his house, possibly making that defendant and his family homeless; another defendant killed himself.
