Looks like the North Cornwall beaches are now very different from when my family camped at Treyarnon in, if I recall, 1965. I would have been about 8 years old. Denis Healey also used to camp there with his wife and children in those days, though I do not believe I ever saw him. Imagine a Cabinet minister (he was Secretary of State for Defence) doing that now!
When I later (2002-2004) lived not so far away (having leased one of the largest country houses in Cornwall, about 4 miles north of Launceston), we only rarely visited the not-far-away North Cornwall beaches, and only in the colder months, when most are deserted.

I would be very glad to see Gove “scrapped” (that’s putting it politely); one of the merely five tweets which resulted in my 2016 disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews calling themselves “UK Lawyers for Israel”) was that referring to Gove, entirely accurately, as a Jewish-lobby puppet and expenses cheat.
Truth is no defence, it seems, in such a case. Gove has always been in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist lobby, and as for his being an expenses cheat, the only reason he was not prosecuted in 2009 was that the rules on MP expenses were too-loosely drafted and executed. Parliament cannot even run its own affairs properly, yet purports to be able to run the country effectively.
Gove is, of course, also a drunk and a cocaine abuser, facts of which both I and the public were unaware in 2016.

I saw an assessment by some British ex-officer that, were the Russian forces to use nuclear weapons (I presume he means tactical ones) in Ukraine, US and UK forces would respond, directly, by wiping out the Russian forces in Ukraine in 2-3 days! Really? What if Putin decided to raze all major Ukrainian cities, especially Kiev, to the ground, using larger, strategic, nuclear missiles? Would US/UK forces still enter Ukraine (presumably only by air power)?
What if the Russians were to take the “Devil’s alternative” and decided to destroy London and a few key airfields, strategic telecoms centres, and ports? At that point, there is no British Army, navy, or air force to speak of, the UK Government would no longer exist, there would be social chaos in Britain, and it would be all but irrelevant that Russian cities and military facilities would also be eliminated.
If the above were to happen, we would be in world war, “Dr. Strangelove” territory, and the USA would be involved both as target and as nuclear attacker.
This is becoming truly dangerous for avoidance of a real nuclear war, both in Europe and beyond. Are the British ruling circles, for example, really willing to risk a nuclear attack on the UK itself just because they want to deny victory to the Russian forces in eastern Ukraine?
Madness.
The Razor’s Edge
I just wasted 2 hours watching the 1984 remake of the fine 1946 film, The Razor’s Edge, which was based on a novel by Somerset Maugham.
The remake expunged entirely the character of Somerset Maugham himself, who in the 1946 version was both the unseen narrator and also seen in several scenes throughout the film (Somerset Maugham was played by Herbert Marshall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marshall).
Several changes were made, I think not very successfully, in the 1984 version: the film starts at a kind of charity fete, rather than a country club by one of the Great Lakes. The main character, Larry Darrell (played by Bill Murray in the 1984 film, but —far better— by Tyrone Power in the 1946 one) is, in the 1984 version, a former ambulance orderly home from American involvement in WW1 (in the 1946 film, he is a former WW1 American pilot).
The 1984 film leaves out, entirely, the 1946 version’s final parts set on the Cote d’Azur, and resets those scenes in Paris.
The Himalayan scenes, where Larry Darrell seeks and finds enlightenment after consulting with an Indian holy man and “abbot” of an ashram, were much more powerful in the 1946 version; the 1984 film makes the ashram a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, and the scene in which Larry Darrell is enlightened on a mountain is just not at all convincing.
I have never read the novel, but I see now from Wikipedia that Darrell’s enlightenment in the book came after encounter with a Hindu spiritual master. The 1946 film leaves it vague as to the religion of the “abbot”, but the “abbey” is described as an ashram.
Even the drink which causes the character, Sophie, to fall back into alcohol abuse, is changed from Pertsovka (pepper-and-honey vodka, called —in the French way— “persovka”, in the film) to Zubrovka (bison-grass vodka). I can only assume that that that is because Zubrovka had become well-known, whereas few people in the USA had or have heard of Pertsovka.
Personally, I would give the 1946 version 8/10 as a film, but the 1984 version 2/10.
Incidentally, the 1984 film was both a critical and commercial flop, making back only half of its production budget, whereas the original 1946 version was nominated for four Academy Awards, and won one (Anne Baxter, playing Sophie); it also won two Golden Globes. The 1946 film was not a huge success commercially, but still made back 4-5 times its production cost.
Sometimes, remakes surpass earlier versions, but rarely. In this case, the 1946 version outdoes the 1984 remake in every way: storyline, acting, music, cinematography (despite the 38-year gap). The script in particular is very crisp in the 1946 film.

The by-election was triggered by the standing-down of the Conservative Party MP David Warburton, following multiple allegations (some admitted) of misconduct: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Warburton].
In 2019, Warburton received nearly 56% of the vote, with the LibDems in second place on 26%.
Labour has no chance here and, on paper, this would normally be another easy win for the Con Party, but the manner of departure of the last MP, added to the anger across the country aimed at the Con Party government of Sunak, may mean a LibDem by-election upset, particularly as this is merely a by-election.
In 2019, only 4 candidates stood (Con, Lab, LibDem, and Green); at the by-election, there are also Christian People’s Alliance, UKIP, Reform UK, and an Independent.
The bookies’ favourite is the LibDem, a lady from a local farming family who is also a local councillor. She seems to hit all the buttons, even the sex one, being female after the defaults of male MP Warburton (sex pest allegations, and connected cocaine abuse).
The bookmakers have the LibDem, Sarah Dyke, as even-money favourite, with the Con Party candidate on 20-1, and Labour at 250-1. The rest are not even quoted. You could probably get 1000-1 against any of them.
Experience shows that bookmakers are a poor guide to by-election results, but the LibDem looks pretty sure to win this, especially when many Labour supporters will be voting tactically, and many former Con voters displaying apathy and/or unwillingness to vote for the present Government.
The by-election of course triggered by the standing-down of “Boris” Johnson.
The 2019 election attracted 12 candidates, because the seat of the sitting Prime Minister is always popular. “Boris”-idiot won with 52.6% in 2019, with Labour garnering 37.6%. Only one other candidate had a saved deposit (the LibDem, on 6.3%).
The by-election has 17 candidates, among them the TV actor, Laurence Fox, for Reclaim. The bookmakers only rate two seriously— Con and Labour. The Labour Party candidate is quoted at just better than even-money, with Conservative Party candidate at 9/1. The Labour price has not altered much, but the Conservative has gone out from an opening 3/1 to 9/1, and the LibDems are now at 1000/1. The third-placed runner is now Reform UK (but only on 300/1).
“A nurse sitting with her husband drinking coffee said: “The biggest issue is ULEZ. I’ve retired from the NHS after 49 years. What about the carers who can’t make visits any more?”
People in Uxbridge tend not to conform to media stereotypes, for example that the NHS is in an unbearable state of crisis. The nurse said: “If I had my time again I’d do the same job again. I love my job.” As she walks round Uxbridge she is often greeted by her former patients.
How will she vote in the by-election? “Up until Jeremy Corbyn I was a Labour person,” she said. “Labour looked after the schools, the hospitals and the elderly.
“But the party has changed now and I’m afraid I have no confidence in them. Keir Starmer wouldn’t come out and actually go against Sadiq Khan [on ULEZ] in a television interview, when he was asked about him.“
“‘It can’t be any worse’: In Boris Johnson’s back yard, Britons are desperate for a change.
Uxbridge, like Britain, is in a rut.
The town is where the capital’s westward sprawl ends. Two Tube lines serving central London finish their journeys here, as picturesque shades of green mingle with the gray and brown hues of suburban developments. But its high streets are shrinking and the local hospital is one of the worst in Britain – rated “inadequate” by the sector’s watchdog.
And nationwide, soaring inflation, public sector strikes and the aftermath of Brexit have left families poorer and services creaking to the point of collapse. Renewing a passport, taking a train, buying groceries, seeing a doctor – virtually everything is more difficult in Britain than it once was.
Change is in the air, and Labour is set to benefit. Opinion polls confidently predict the party, led by Keir Starmer, a former senior prosecutor, will win power in a general election expected next year.
But Uxbridge is a test case for that theory, and tensions are high. “You can see the national polls, just like I can see, but these are real votes,” Steve Reed, the party’s shadow justice secretary tasked with running the local campaign, told CNN on a hot afternoon on the high street. He predicts a “tighter race” than some media have suggested.
A handful of media outlets, including CNN, were denied the chance to interview Labour’s candidate or join a canvassing session, an unusually skittish move from a party tipped to win a by-election.
“People are not stupid. People understand the challenges facing the country,”
Some voters are more blunt. “They’re basically saying we’ll carry on business as normal,” says Mick, 61, who runs a food stall near Uxbridge station and has voted Labour his entire life. “So why are we voting?”
“I’d like to think [Labour would] like to do more for the working people,” Tracy Peabody, a dental nurse and mother of three young boys, told CNN on a high street in Ruislip Manor. “But I can’t help thinking it’s two wings from the same bird, all singing from the same song sheet,” she added of Labour and the Conservatives.
Just three-and-a-half years after one of the party’s worst-ever electoral defeats, the outcome of Thursday’s vote in Uxbridge will indicate how far Labour has come.“
[CNN]
Maybe not so obvious as at Somerton and Frome, but here too it looks as if the Conservative Party is facing an uphill struggle. Uxbridge is a more typical contest though, maybe, compared to Somerton and Frome, and one in which many voters despise all the System parties, and particularly Con and Lab. A battle of apathies?
Selby and Ainsty
The Selby and Ainsty constituency is unusual in that it has been represented since creation in 2010 by only one MP, a Conservative, who seems to be abandoning ship in the moral certainty that the national unpopularity of the Sunak government will wash him away at the next general election.
I do not know why the departed MP, Nigel Adams, chose to stand down in 2023 rather than wait until 2024 and the next general election. Maybe he did not want the opprobrium of having been voted out. Rumour has it that he wanted a peerage and, when not given one, resigned in order to lash out at his own party. Maybe.
Adams won his four elections convincingly, and increased his vote share steadily from 49.4% in 2010 to 60.3% in 2019.
Labour scored about a quarter of the vote in 2010, 2015, and 2019 but, interesting to see, managed over a third of the vote in 2017, when Corbyn was still Labour leader.
12 candidates are contesting the by-election, but this will be between Con and Lab. The bookmakers have Labour just better than even-money, but Con on about 13/2. A few weeks ago, the result seemed more speculative.
Political websites and newspapers have taken an interest in the Selby contest, perhaps because it may give a clue as to the Northern “Red Wall” seats.
“I’d like to think they’d like to do more for the working people,” Tracy Peabody, a dental nurse and mother of three young boys, told CNN on a high street in Ruislip Manor. “But I can’t help thinking it’s two wings from the same bird, all singing from the same song sheet,” she added of Labour and the Conservatives.
Just three-and-a-half years after one of the party’s worst-ever electoral defeats, the outcome of Thursday’s vote in Uxbridge will indicate how far Labour has come.“
“Labour and the Conservative party may have found a tougher opponent than one another as they prepare to fight a by-election in Selby and Ainsty this week: entrenched despondency among an electorate that’s tired of Westminster drama and the challenges posed by the cost of living crisis.”
“Selby local Rachel Young paused while walking around the shops to watch the candidates for Thursday’s poll take part in a televised hustings for the BBC in the town centre last week.
She told PoliticsHome that she still has not decided who to vote for, but thinks that many people she knows will simply not bother at all.”
For me, what will be most interesting will be to see whether Labour wins because people have voted out of enthusiasm (unlikely) or simply because former Conservative voters have given up bothering to vote (more likely). The numbers will tell the story.
My guess is that the LibDems will win Somerton and Frome; a meaningless protest vote. As to the others, Labour will probably score in both, but by default only, because former Conservative voters will just stay home. Only very silly people believe that Labour-label in government will be much, if at all, better than the present shambles.

Also, the number of migrant-invaders coming “legally” is ten times the number arriving in rubber boats.

Ukraine has been a corrupt mess since at least 1991.
Ukraine needs a new start. Ideally, the Russians should take all of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), as well as Crimea, and also a 50-mile-deep strip along the Black Sea littoral. Odessa and Kiev should have some kind of special status, either condominium status or as autonomous cities. A Ukrainian state, presumably based on Lvov, can then exist in the two-thirds of Ukraine west of the Dnieper and north of that coastal strip.

Well, there it is. I have blogged several times in the past (over several years) about the part-Jew pseudo-revolutionary scribbler and talking head, Paul Mason, and have blogged, inter alia, that he was possibly aiming to become a Labour MP, perhaps ultimately aiming at becoming Chancellor or even Prime Minister.
If I say so myself, who shouldn’t, the blog has been proven right once again.
🇺🇦🇬🇧 British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has proposed that Ukraine should express more gratitude towards the West for its assistance, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky's recent complaints about the lack of a definitive timetable or conditions for joining NATO. pic.twitter.com/IAJ6mDbBjt
I have frequently noted Zelensky’s ghetto style of negotiation.
Do I sense that even the major puppets of NWO/ZOG are tiring of Zelensky and his corrupt cabal? Not least because there is no real prospect of the Kiev regime being able to “recover” the regions of Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk.
350,000 Kiev-regime soldiers have been fed into the hell of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk and other areas of the front, and have fallen. Several times that number have been rendered hors de combat by reason of injury. Foreign contract soldiers are now going home, and there are rather few coming to replace them. The Kiev regime is increasingly using press-gangs to force unwilling Ukrainian men into uniform, and has toughened the exemption regulations in order to be able to “lawfully” conscript a wider range of non-volunteers.
Ukraine is by most definitions a “failed state”. It exists, both militarily and in general, only by reason of the Western subsidies. It could well be argued that, as it now is, “Ukraine” is scarcely a state at all.

That Ukrainian MP asking the questions must be a complete idiot. He wants NATO to station nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil, which would mean that Ukraine would become a prime target for Russian strategic weapons. It would be like painting a huge bullseye on Ukraine.

I see that the “BBC presenter” story is still rolling. A couple of things strike me about the story and also about the reaction to it.
Firstly, the sheer hysteria. It seems that the girl involved was 17 at the time, assuming that there is any substance to the story. It is one of the oddities of the English law at present (as I understand it— I admit to being not very au fait with it now, having not practised at the Bar since 2008) that the unnamed BBC presenter could actually have had full sexual relations with the girl (or any girl of 17, or indeed 16) without being in peril of the law, yet if he paid for nude photographs of her (even though she may have taken them herself, and willingly) he might actually be at risk of imprisonment: see https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/jul/09/bbc-presenter-accused-of-paying-teenager-for-photos-could-face-jail-term-if-guilty.
To my mind, this makes a mockery of the law. The “photographs” law should surely be in line with the law on sexual relations, and so the age reduced to 16 years.
I am unsure about whether a “photographs” law of that kind was or is necessary at all, or if it is, whether the relevant age should be 16 or lower, as with some provisions of, eg, the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and the Sexual Offences Act 1956.
The Protection of Children Act 1978, the present “photographs” law, does not (as far as I know) specify an age, but refers only to “children“.
This was never the kind of law I did when at the Bar, so I may be out of my depth on the detail here but, to my mind, that 1978 “photographs” law (which I have never read in full) seems to be on the face of it yet another badly-drafted law of the past half-century. There are several others, including the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and the Communications Act 2003, s. 127. Both of those have been superseded or are about to be superseded by newer laws.
I find it strange that the 1978 “photographs” law was thought to be necessary at all. It was brought in 20 years before the Internet was widely available for public use and, after all, photography itself has been around for about 200 years if you include its earlier modern manifestations such as the daguerrotype. Photographs as such have certainly existed since the 1860s, yet only in 1978 did Parliament consider that such a penal law was desirable, or at all necessary. Very odd.
Leaving all that aside, there seems to be a strange dissonance now— UK and general Western society almost eliminating real childhood and/or childhood “innocence”, and yet going mad if someone, especially anyone famous (such as George Osborne), has sexual relations, even if completely lawfully (in Osborne’s case, that is disputed), with a teenage girl of 16 or 17, or if such a person (as alleged of the unnamed BBC presenter) pays a girl of 16 or 17 for some risque photographs.
Well, there it is. To my mind, this “BBC presenter” story is a bit of a storm in a teacup anyway, looking at the challenges our country and society face at present. There are bigger issues.
The other aspect which I find striking about the “BBC presenter” story is that the unnamed defaulter has such a high level of income that he can, and apparently is willing to, pay out £35,000 for photographs of some girl.
The BBC gets almost all of its money from the outdated tax misleadingly called a “licence fee”. Radio licences, dog licences etc have passed into history, but the BBC licence fee marches on. Not only that, but enforced by criminal sanction. There are many people (mostly women) actually in prison because of having not had a TV licence, and then unable or unwilling to comply with the order of a court: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tv-licence-fee-women-convictions-b1763192.html.
Out of the huge revenues thus raised, the BBC pays its staff well, often very well, and in some cases far too well. Gary Lineker, that loudmouth ignoramus, is paid a million a year to shoot the breeze about football. Alan Shearer, another ex-footballer, gets about half a million. Zoe Ball apparently gets about a million. A number are getting around £400,000. Looking at them, most are, frankly, overpaid.
Why should the public subsidize what is increasingly, “Soviet” TV and radio output, largely unwatchable and unlistenable?
My final thought about this nonsense is that George Osborne must be loving it. The notorious email about his own peccadilloes is now already all but forgotten. I suppose, though, that despite his former, though fairly brief, political prominence, Osborne is now yesterday’s news…just not very interesting to most people.
“It’s deeply worrying that many older people are ending up in hospital due to lack of the right sort of services in the community. No one wants to be in hospital but for older people all too often it can lead to an avoidable deterioration in their health,” said Caroline Abrahams, Age UK’s charity director.
Prof Adam Gordon, the president of the British Geriatrics Society, said the report “makes grim reading [and] rightly identifies that older people are currently being let down by NHS and social care services”.”
[The Guardian]
This has been a scandal (and a massive waste of money) for years, certainly since 2010 and probably long before. No care at home means more demand at hospitals. District nurses were once ubiquitous; now they seem hardly to exist at all. I was told by one, a decade ago, that she was fed up with NHS mismanagement, and so was emigrating to Australia, where she would also be paid far more.
As with so many areas of life in England, Government and Opposition talk a good game, but fail to deliver for the people.

The answer, as of today— 396. No less than 396 utter mugs, each sending pseudo-activist and grifter/fraudster “Jack Monroe” anything from £3.50 to £44 a month via the Patreon website.
Most of the msm are now avoiding “Jack Monroe”, but it seems that a few dozy scribblers and talking heads have still not got the message (see below):
Jack Monroe @bootstrapcook hates food, and doesn't campaign on anything. Maybe you can ask her what she's done with all her grifted cash.
Ah yes a foodie whose recipes don’t work and her latest book came was recalled with a health and safety warning. Perhaps you could ask her why she hasn’t refunded the legal fees she fraudulently crowd funded for or why she hasn’t fulfilled her patreon in years & hasn’t paused it
More narcissistic self-promotion. Other women (mainly) have tried the same “I am a victim” attention-seeking, including Jess Phillips MP and “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe”, the latter of whom most recently claimed to have reporters and stray peasants peering in her windows and ringing her doorbell. “Jack Monroe” also claimed that “celebrities” like her (ha…) were protected by a special Essex Police “celebrity and VIP” squad, which in fact does not exist. Neither did the “reporters” and stray peasants supposedly peering in at her windows and ringing doorbells etc.
One good piece of news is that another online self-promoter, part-Jew “activist” “Russ in Cheshire” (another supposedly “anti-Tory” “fighter”, like “Supertanskiii” and “Man Behaving Dadly”), has “left Twitter”.

In fact, “Russ in Cheshire” has apparently merely moved his, er, operation over to the new Threads social media site; so he lives on to “grift” another day, so to speak.

So the often-heavily-criticized Jolyon Maugham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham], a part-Jew barrister and “activist”, here supporting egregious and self-publicizing Jewish solicitor Mark Lewis, is applauded by one Charlotte Proudman, apparently a mainly academic lawyer and barrister who has attended or researched at no less than five universities in the UK and USA. I do not think that I had heard of her before today.
Ms. Proudman should read my blog posts, written several years ago about Lewis, before expressing an opinion:
So far from having been “grossly unfair“, as Ms. Proudman opines (having apparently read only a brief and one-sided scribble on the Legal Business online platform), the decision of the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority [SRA] regarding Lewis was impeccably fair and, in punishing Lewis very leniently, bent over backwards to be fair. Even his small fine was reduced from £7,500 to £2,500 because his Counsel said on his behalf that Lewis (the ludicrously so-called “top lawyer“, if you believe the tabloid Press) owned no real property, and in fact owned nothing at time of the hearing in 2018 but his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter.
After the SRA hearing, Lewis took off for Israel, where he now lives.
Looking at what Lewis wrote online to various people, including a Jewish teenager, I was surprised that Lewis was not struck off the roll of solicitors.
I wonder whether Ms. Proudman thinks that the decision of the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in my case was “grossly unfair“? I doubt it, even though I was both wrongfully, and actually unlawfully, disbarred (at the instigation of a pack of politically-motivated Jews) for having merely tweeted five (5) tweets, all of which were completely true and accurate: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
Incidentally, this (below) is the profile photograph of herself that Ms. Proudman seems to think appropriate to publish on her Twitter account (which profile describes her as a barrister etc):

Polls of that sort are of course unscientific, and anything on Twitter more so, because of the well-known biases. All the same, it is clear that the present Government has run out of road. It is hitting as many buttons as possible to shore up at least the core Conservative-leaning vote: pledging to retain the pension Triple Lock, pledging to at least reduce net immigration (how about stopping the inward flow, and starting an outward flow?) etc, but it seems hopeless.
Actions speak louder than words. Something that the “Conservative” Party ministers and Prime Ministers of the past 13+ years seem not to understand. Mass immigration has continued unabated under Sunak and, as Chancellor, he also paused, for one year, the Triple Lock.

“Jack Monroe” is surely a busted flush. Even the utter mugs donating to her on Patreon are waking up: 396 as of today, the first time that the number has dropped below 400 (only a few days ago it was still 414). Last year, there were nearly 900 of those mugs, partly by reason of (now effectively withdrawn) endorsements by TV talking heads and cuisine “experts” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner (and others).
Still, 396 mugs each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 monthly. As said previously, “not a bad little earner“, to use the Essex argot. Must still add up to at least a few thousand in cash. Monthly. For nothing.
If the fall continues, “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, may have to either go on the dole or whatever again (she made a whole media career out of having done that once, for a year or so, a decade or more ago). Or perhaps her affluent/wealthy family of buy-to-let parasites, who live in the same area as her, will help her out. I doubt whether she would be employable as anything. I read somewhere that she has only had a couple of jobs (for short periods, and long ago), one arranged via her father, answering the telephones at the Essex fire brigade, the other in a fish and chip shop.
Sven Longshanks
I just donated 20 British pounds to support Sven Longshanks. Chip in if you can!
A reminder that the appeal for Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) is still up. The aim is to raise funds both to assist him while he still sits in prison (i.e. until early/mid 2024), and also to help him resettle once released.
In cheering Thursday news, Jolyon Maugham and his (Not Very) Good Law Project have lost yet another of their flagship cases. #LGBAllianceWinhttps://t.co/ZBhjC8S410
Until today, I was unaware that Maugham no longer practises as a barrister in chambers (he specialized in tax law). Apparently, he left his last chambers in 2020.
I have seen tweets saying that Maugham is a “grifter”, living off donations to the Good Law Project. I have no idea whether that be so, and I also note that the GLP is supported by not only individual donations but also large grants from several well-known trust funds, not least that of the rather odd Rausing people (the descendants of the man who invented Tetrapak in Sweden); they also give or have given money to the mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” crowd.
How much Maugham pays himself (in effect) as Director of the GLP I have no idea (and the website of the GLP is silent on the subject).
Jolyon lives in a construct of fantasy and demands that the rest of us exchange reality for that fantasy so it only makes sense that Jolyon see this loss within the prism of fantasy as well as a win.
I remember seeing Maugham on a “celebrity” episode of University Challenge. He stood out from the rest as combining a very-obviously huge opinion of himself with equally-huge ignorance of almost everything. Very funny.
I have no idea how well (or not) Jolyon Maugham was regarded as a tax barrister, before he launched “Woke Law Project”, but it gives pause for thought how many cases “GLP” has lost or not “won”.
As for Maugham being a KC, these days about 10% of all barristers hold letters patent as KC; it is not the accolade it once was. At one time, only a few barristers a year were made up to KC or QC; now dozens are.
You’d think people would realise how Jolyon works by now instead of continuing to fund the clown. His brings pointless and baseless claims to the courts that never should be there. He’s not doing what’s right by anybody but himself and his wallet.
@greenbelt do you still think Jack Monroe poses no risks? This is due to her doxxing someone, just for requesting a refund from her. Her fans turning up on someone’s doorstep and harassing him.
One of my online harassers turned up at my house late last night and refused to leave, claiming that I refused to answer their "3 reasonable dinner party questions" about myself and they felt the need to ask me in person. That is why the police are now taking it seriously.
I hope to god Jack Monroe bootstrapcook is punished to the maximum degree and shamed publicly for her part in this. She doxxed you, she led the pile ons, she is behind it all when she tried to escape facing justice.
“Jack Monroe” may not have ordered or asked for the above harassment to happen, but she is all the same behind it in the wider sense. She “doxxed” (revealed publicly the address of) the person involved, and she knows very well that her most fervent supporters are often those with mental health problems (as well as the very dim). In other words, she lit the blue touchpaper.

I myself have not yet read this instantly-infamous email, though I think that I can guess at least a little of what is in it.
Incidentally, Osborne is yet another part-Jew.
George Osborne is directly responsible for the mess we are in and the mess we've been living in since 2010. He destroyed this country.
So many people assume that because one enemy of the people has “Conservative” on the label, and another “Labour“, that they are not both part of the System together, or are somehow “opposed”. Only superficially.
The government refuses to believe that when you cut the benefit levels the economy crashes. The poor cannot spend what they don’t have. If you increase the benefit levels the economy grows as the poor spend everything you give them. That was why George Osborne’s cuts didn’t work.
Exactly. Give a poor man £1 and he will almost certainly spend it, and have to spend it. Give £1 to a rich man and he will either bank it or buy a hedging asset (eg over-valued real property) with it.

“Banks are to be warned by ministers that they must protect free speech as increasing numbers of customers are having their accounts closed for holding allegedly controversial views.
The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is reportedly ‘deeply concerned’ that lenders are blacklisting customers they are deemed to hold contrary political beliefs and social values.
I have blogged about this previously. Farage is, as the report notes, not alone. Repression on freedom of expression by banks (bank staff) has been a fact for a few years now. Laura Towler, Sam Melia, and Mark Collett, all of Patriotic Alternative, had their personal bank accounts closed. Straight political bias.
The only thing that will stop the trend to censorship and repression is if bank directors, managers etc are held accountable directly. The same goes for MPs, msm talking heads etc.
Incidentally, maybe 99% of the repression of freedom of expression in the UK comes from the malicious and manipulative Jew-Zionist element; certainly 90%+. See, for example, my own experiences, published at the top of this blog post. “They” are almost always the troublemakers, if you investigate the matter.
“Rosolino Palazzolo, a 44-year-old Sicilian farmer, has just finished picking the first pitanga (Surinam cherry) and acerola (Barbados cherry) on his farm in a tiny village called Terrasini, close to Palermo. He looks at the bright cherries in his hand, smiling proudly.
These fruits would normally be found growing along the equator but, in the past few years, climate change and year-round warm temperatures have led to a produce revolution in Italy’s deep south.
“Italy is turning into a tropical country. That’s why I also grow papayas, mangoes, passion fruit, baby bananas dubbed ‘bananito’, black sapote [a soft, orange-fleshed fruit], annona [custard apple] and even coffee and chocolate plants,” Mr Palazzolo [says].
“Tropical fruit is the future of Italy’s agriculture; it will save the country from the negative effects of rising temperatures and crazy, wild rainfalls.”
“The farmer still grows traditional fruits such as pears, citrus fruits and peaches, and vegetables such as tomatoes and courgettes, but in smaller quantities due to the tropical-like climate that has taken hold in Italy, particularly in the south.”
[i newspaper]
Interesting. Adaptation to a warmer climate.

The only way to stop the epidemic of drug abuse in the West is to eliminate the users. Poppy cultivation cannot simply be banned everywhere, because opium derivatives are used for essential products such as morphine. India and Australia (Tasmania) are among the larger producers of legally-farmed opium poppies. Afghanistan accounts for about 80% of the illegal trade.

Typically misleading Sky News. In fact, it was not “the hottest June everin UK” (as seen in that tweet) but the hottest June since records began, which was only in 1884. As the report does say, previous hot-June records were reached in both 1940 and 1976. Even the headline, “hottest June on record“, though technically correct, is misleading, because many will assume that records go back to maybe 1700 or so, which is not the case on a reliable or consistent basis.
In historical terms, 139 years (1884-2023) is almost nothing.
We know that there were relatively warm periods previously in recorded European history, notably in the “Mediaeval Warm Period”, often estimated as having happened from about 950 AD to about 1250 AD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period.
There was no measurement of temperature then, but warmer climatic conditions can be inferred from forms of agriculture known to have been current, and from animal and plant remains, tree rings etc.
There are various theories as to why those historical periods were warmer than other times before and after, but one thing is for sure— it had little or nothing to do with “carbon emissions”. These were societies without very large populations (the Roman Empire at height may have had 60 million inhabitants), without the internal combustion engine, without industry except on a very small scale, and without the widespread use of coal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#History.
Those two warm periods hosted higher levels of civilization and culture than the cooler periods on either side of each. Be careful what you wish for.

I agree with that tweeter about the sheer audacity, as I think I would term it, of the online fraud and “grifter” “Jack Monroe”.
That sheer gall is what really sets her apart from the numerous other online “grifters” around— her sheer criminal audacity, as well as her relentless use of about half a dozen tactics: pretending to be an “activist” for “the poor”; various mental and physical problems (useful to be able to blame critics for making them worse, though most if not all of them are non-existent); pretending to be short of money and/or living in poverty (rather than a house, possibly with a sea view, in a rather expensive Essex suburb); attaching herself to this or that group as expedient— LGBTQXYZ, disabled, “poor”, struggling single mother (despite her affluent family living in the same area), “socialist” (despite her false “feed a family for £20 a week” claims, “cosmopolitan” (despite rarely having been outside Essex), and displaying little or no obvious knowledge or education), etc.
Then there are the fake biographical details, such as having taken a leading role after or even during the Grenfell fire incident.
What is truly amazing is how many people, even some journalists, still believe all of her rubbish.
I still fail to understand why a black woman in Bristol is (I think) still facing Crown Court trial for allegedly having crowdfunded for legal costs to make a civil claim that (allegedly or apparently) never happened, and then having (allegedly) kept the monies raised for her personal use, but “Jack Monroe” raised monies similarly, supposedly to sue Lee Anderson MP, then did not even send preliminary formal complaint to Lee Anderson, and quite plainly ripped-off the said monies for her own uses, yet (so far) is not charged with anything. Why not?

His column this week is worth reprinting in detail:
“What is conservative about privatisation? What has it conserved? How has it helped the nation be stronger and safer?
Though there are many more, I will take just three examples.
Once, Britain had a first-rate nuclear power industry and could build its own atomic power stations. Then we privatised that and decades of experience and wisdom were scattered to the winds.
And now we have to get the Chinese, a despotic menace, to provide the nuclear energy we will so badly need, very soon, thanks to our mad dogma-driven destruction of coal-fired power stations.
Then come the railways, ripped to pieces so that pretend capitalists – sustained by far bigger subsidies than British Rail ever got – could trouser taxpayers’ money for providing a worse service than the one they replaced. In a bitter paradox much of the system is now run by foreign (nationalised) railway concerns. And this is a great British invention we gave to the world.
And now there is water. Thames Water, the vital strategic supply for the national capital and the economically crucial region around it, is now virtually bankrupt. Its boss quit suddenly last week. The official version is that the company may simply collapse under the weight of its debts, now £14 billion.
Under one of its recent owners, a foreign bank, £2.7 billion was taken out of the company in dividends, while debts rose from £3.4 billion to £10.8 billion. They have not since stopped rising, while Thames Water has become notorious for unfixed leaks and disgusting discharges of sewage into rivers.
You might think renationalisation is the obvious solution. But it will be hugely expensive, as the pension funds and other shareholders cannot simply be dispossessed without compensation. And here is the fascinating thing. You will not hear any significant voices in Sir Keir Starmer’s very Left-wing Labour Party calling for a full renationalisation.
The modern Left is keen to nationalise childhood and what used to be the family. It defies any attempts to reform the NHS or the schools for the benefit of the public. But it long ago abandoned its 1945 enthusiasm for state ownership of the commanding heights of the economy.
But that was in the lost days when Labour was led by patriots who wanted to make the country stronger. They have all gone.
And you might say that if Labour will not renationalise these failed private enterprises, what use is it? And I would agree with you.
If we want to undo this undoubted catastrophe, then rescue will not come from Sir Keir. Patriotic conservatives will have to nerve themselves to admit that the whole thing was a disastrous mistake and pledge themselves to put it right. If they do, they’ll be surprised at just how much support they will get.“

Incidentally, while I concede that expropriation without compensation is contra international law, my inclination at this point is to say “and your point is?“…
“Senior ministers are expecting a “total clearout” of Tory MPs ahead of the next election, as party sources cited the experience of Boris Johnson’s premiership, the increasing stresses of the job and a continuing slump in the polls as reasons for a forthcoming bumper crop of departures.
More than 40 Conservative MPs have already announced they will step down at the next election – the most for a ruling party since the exodus of 100 Labour MPs ahead of the 2010 election in the wake of the expenses scandal and 13 years in government.
A senior party source said they were expecting “lots more” of the 352 Tory MPs to announce they were leaving as the election approaches. Insiders said the political chaos of recent years meant many had stayed in parliament much longer than they had intended. “There are loads more to come, there will be a total clearout,” said a senior party figure.”

To mix metaphors, the rats leaving the sinking ship have read the writing on the wall…
“The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming.
Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Joe Biden‘s administration have admitted they’re open to the idea, which has never been attempted before.“
“Half of the social housing in London is occupied by immigrant-led households. In my heavily council-owned neighbourhood, the students who flood the pavements on weekday afternoons are nearly all ethnically Asian or African.
Last week, a government impact statement estimated that within three years the bill for housing asylum seekers is on track to multiply by five times: to £30 million a day or £11 billion a year.
Indeed, one of the biggest pull factors drawing migrants from Calais is that France doesn’t provide uninvited visitors housing in the way that Britain does.
...asylum is a sideshow. It serves the function of the magician’s sleight of hand. The audience is distracted by one motion while the trick is slyly performed with another. Britain’s population is soaring from legal immigration.
Last year a Conservative government let 1.2 million people move to the UK, resulting in net immigration of 606,000. In a statistically meticulous report, Migration Watch calculates that if this same level of ingress is sustained, the UK’s population will rise to between 83 million and 87 million by 2046.
This will require between six and eight million more homes – the equivalent of 15 to 18 Birminghams. Apologies for the catastrophism, but that’s assuming the 606,000 annual influx remains constant, whereas the trend since Tony Blair came to power has been for net inward migration to keep rising.
Most new adult immigrants are of childbearing age, and Britain’s overwhelmingly non-European arrivals abundantly hail from cultures that favour larger families.
At current rates of immigration, between 263,000 and 313,000 homes would have to be built each year to accommodate rising population (in addition to the new homes a steady-state population requires, because buildings don’t last for ever).At current rates of immigration, between 263,000 and 313,000 homes would have to be built each year to accommodate rising population.
High immigration puts enormous pressure on the NHS – but we needn’t even go there.
Neither need we address the cultural implications of a foreign-born population already at 17 per cent of England and Wales – up from just over 13 per cent in only 2011.
Whatever your politics, this isn’t a matter of generosity and niceness. Even if you’re sympathetic with the plight of foreigners who merely want a better life, Britain doesn’t have the housing, much less the social housing, to accommodate the soaring population that results from current levels of immigration.“

Down the line, a UK civil war, not a race war as such but a mixed social-racial-cultural-ideological war, is coming, inevitably now. Continuing mass immigration, and the consequences flowing from mass immigration, are a large part of the reason.

Back in the late 1980s, and up to about 1992, Barclays claimed that I owed them quite a lot of money. I disagreed, and a lady I knew drew a very good cartoon skeleton, with the caption “I paid my debts to Barclays Bank“! I then spent a pleasant hour or two late one night feeding that cartoon without pause into my little fax machine. I hope that Barclays staff at least had a few laughs out of the many hundreds of pages that must have arrived at their HQ, all bearing the cartoon.

Those by-elections will be interesting, though of course just part of the System faked show overall. I shall probably blog about them once I know the runners and riders.
Reading that Daily Mail report, I notice that its Deputy Political Editor, one David Wilcock, does not seem to know the difference between “latter” and “last“. Typical of the times in which we live.
Naturally, I myself oppose both System parties, parts of the same corrupt and ideologically-wrong set-up.
It is a moot point as to whether it is better for social-nationalism that there be a weak System government (whether Lab or Con), or that one party (at present, Con) be all but wiped out. The former is probably the case, so that System politics is seen as unable to do anything to progress Britain, thus leading to support for social nationalism. At present though, it seems ever more likely that the Con party will be nearly annihilated at any general election, held in the neat year or so.
