Happened to see a tweet about the most recent Extinction Rebellion demonstrations (or should that be “tantrums”?):
Extinction Rebellion has begun two weeks of protests, but Professor Frank Furedi calls it "moral and physical blackmail on the lives of ordinary people".
I would not in general be much on the same page as Frank Furedi, or indeed radio loudmouth Julia Hartley-Brewer, whom I had to set straight once or twice when I had a Twitter account (a few malicious Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018), but “there is no religion higher than truth”, as they say…
Socio-political hypocrisy: there’s a lot of it about. Not that the phenomenon is new. For decades, there have been the pro-immigration and “refugees welcome” idiots and virtue-signallers; more often than not they live in leafy suburban areas where the effects of the UK migration-invasion have been muted, at least on the surface.
I myself recall a girlfriend of the 1980s who once said to me (we were certainly not ideologically completely compatible!) that the British people who did not want mass immigration were mostly those who did not like to see council houses going to immigrants instead of to them! A neat British way of bringing social snobbery into the discussion (something that we saw also in recent years in relation to Brexit: the Remainer mythus that pro-Brexit people were little more than British hillbillies).
Easy for a woman whose father, upon her return from living in a foreign capital, simply bought her a London house outright as a present, who got paid far more for occasional or part-time work than most people did for working full-time, and who also had considerable inheritance expectations, to express scarcely-veiled contempt for the poorer section of the British population.
She simply did not see that many poorer British people were and are angered by the way alien imports take British social housing. Not everyone can be housed just by asking their father to buy them a house!
Just yesterday it came to light that central government is helping local councils buy “large houses” so that Afghan families with 10 or 12 members can live in them. Most of those large houses will be in the more expensive neighbourhoods as well, so British people are going to be doubly cheated.
The British people will also end up working, and being taxed, so that the Afghans (and the rest) can live parasitically upon the Brits. The Afghans will mostly not even speak English, will mostly have no skills or qualifications, but will have (according to studies) a far lower average I.Q. than the British, and so will be just a drag or a millstone round the necks of the people of this country.

2/2 Jonni @jdportes. Your approach, to start with the theory, and to choose those figures which suit that theory( the fashionable but i suspect doomed Blairite view that manufactiring employment doesn't matter) is the classic approach of the dogmatist…. https://t.co/Riehfc3Omq

Jonni @jdportes. I stick to what I first said, that most of it was destroyed after we entered the Common Market in 1972. Subsequent events, measure them how you will (and I believe such measurements are variable) , do not alter that observable fact. The jobs never came back. https://t.co/GL7QiMwUHT

In the recent Alison Chabloz appeal, the Crown Prosecution Service applied for an absurdly badly-drafted (well, is it a surprise? “Pay peanuts, get monkeys”) Criminal Behaviour Order against Alison. The judge apparently treated that with the contempt it deserved, and refused to make such an order. No doubt the application was suggested in some way by the malicious Jew-Zionists who are behind the whole persecution (and prosecutions) of Alison Chabloz.
Readers of the blog over recent days will have seen that there was a possibility that Alison Chabloz might have been made subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order, one both very wide in its ambit and very long in duration, and which would have prohibited her from talking, writing or singing about WW2 (!), the NSDAP, Jews, Israel, Zionism and the “holocaust” farrago, inter alia.
Usually-reliable sources had reported that such an Order had actually been made by the presiding and sentencing judge. Yesterday, however, it was reported that such an Order did not form part of the judge’s sentence.
Impeccable sources now report that, while application for such a clumsily-drafted Order was made (by prosecuting Counsel), the application was refused outright by the presiding judge.
It does leave unanswered the question of why the CPS (and, indeed, police) continue to allow themselves to be manipulated and used by the tiny and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] “charity” (pressure group), whose leading members were exposed years ago in open court as pseudonymous harassers and trollers of a number of people (mostly women); Zionist supremacists who, when it suits their purposes, whine to social media organizations, the msm, the police and the courts that they are “victims” of “antisemites”.

The prisoner number (A6478EK) must always be included.
Books must be *new, *paperback, and preferably sent by commercial booksellers such as Abe Books (nb. Bronzefield does not accept any Amazon deliveries).
Money can also be sent, via the official system: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. With money sent, a prisoner can buy stamps, stationery, food etc. Also telephone credits.
Alison is likely to be a prisoner for the next 5-7 weeks, until some date in October, but she is also being subjected to a fresh trial on 1 September 2021 (((thanks to “the usual suspects”))). If that trial goes the wrong way, she may well be incarcerated for longer, though there seems to be a possibility that the trial will be deferred to a later date, or the proceedings simply discontinued.
I like this piece, though prefer it played slower, as it was when performed by Segovia.

Basically, the importation of 20,000 (and probably more) completely useless and mostly backward people. At least 20,000 houses and flats, that should go to British people, going to aliens.
If I were not personally involved (being English), I suppose I could sit back, drink a glass of Khvanchkara, and wait to see for how long the British people will tolerate this.
The police are a necessary evil in most societies. They have to be controlled closely, though, so as not to arrogate tyrannical powers to themselves. Look at the mindset of that New Zealand tweet. Here in the UK, too, the police have gradually become unpleasant blunt instruments of State dictatorship, Jewish-Zionist influence, and “woke” nonsense.
Why rent free? Are they here on a 2 year holiday? Where's the encouragement for them to settle down, find employment and "contribute" to our society? 🤔
“Contribute“? How? Even the few who will speak English have few or no useful skills. The UK has more than enough ethnic minority taxi drivers, the only job that (as with the Somalis) the men are likely to do, be able to do, or want to do. As for the women, most will not want to, and will be unequipped to, work. These incomers are the latest millstone around the British neck.
…and Churchill might now be able to add “and a host of Jewish scribblers will make careers and money out of fashioning a narrative according to which the British Empire “had” to (help) destroy the German Reich.” [see, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Gilbert].
I have blogged about the new Australian “woke”, multikulti police state and biosecurity state in recent days and weeks. Nothing more to add to that, except to pose the question how “the lucky country”, with its white European population, freedom of expression, prosperity and strong national identity went so wrong so quickly. My answer? Corrupt politicians in the pocket of finance-capitalism and the Jew-Zionist lobby; a similarly venal msm; and mass immigration of non-Europeans, starting in the mid/late 1970s. Sad. Very sad.

As Lenin said, “worse will mean better”. As yet, probably only 5% of the British people support my views (unknowingly, at that), certainly not wholeheartedly, and another 30% would support me to some extent, if they were even aware of my views as my views, or indeed of my existence. The situation has not yet gone far enough, and is not yet bad enough in any way, to fully awaken national rebirth.
The most rebellious person in the uk today is Peter Hitchens. Weird but true.
The re-sentencing of Alison Chabloz is set down for today. The re-sentencing has now been deferred twice (last Friday and this Monday) because material about Alison held by the probation people could not be released without the permission of undesignated “higher authority”, apparently. In the meantime, Alison has been in Bronzefield Prison, near Heathrow, for the past 4-5 days
All because of some remarks on an internet podcast about Jews, Zionism, “holocaust” fakery etc.
As far as the resentencing for the matter directly in question is concerned, the judge at Southwark Crown Court cannot hand down more than the maximum laid down by law, 6 months. That would in effect be 3 months actually in prison, and Alison has already served 9 weeks, has a 4-day credit for time wrongly served in 2020, and has now been remanded in custody for 5 days.
On the above premises, Alison would serve less than 2 weeks extra even if sentenced to “6 months”.
It occurs to me, though, that the court may find other ways of tacking on extra prison time, such as any finding that Alison was improperly let off from completing the “Unpaid Work Requirement” aka “community service” (forced/slave labour), which was part of her sentence from her yet earlier 2018 trial before Westminster Magistrates (for the heinous crime of mocking the “holy” Jewish Zionists and the “holocaust” farrago).
Alison did actually spend a few days in 2018 picking up litter in wet Derbyshire churchyards.
I was never, mainly, a criminal barrister, despite having done Crown Court and magistrates trials as Counsel, mainly in the London area in 1993-1995. Also, I have not practised at the Bar since 2008 (and, famously, or notoriously, was —wrongfully— disbarred in 2016). I therefore may be wrong about this, but I cannot see how the sentencing judge today can do anything about any incomplete slave labour from another case, and years ago.
More likely, the sentencing judge may be thinking about sentencing Alison to “slave labour” (community service labour) for this present matter. That would probably be more onerous to her than spending what amounts to, in practice, probably only about a week or so extra in prison, unpleasant though that may be (though information from a usually-reliable source says that she at least has had her own modern cell, and a television, over the past 4-5 days spent in Bronzefield Prison).
What was that phrase, about those who would “break a butterfly upon a wheel”?…
As I reported yesterday, Alison has also now been made subject to an Order, pursuant to a 2014 piece of police-state legislation, purporting to ban her from making any public —or even, it seems, private— mention of Jews, Zionists, Zionism, Israel, or the “holocaust” farrago. The Order even covers mention of WW2, and even any member of the NSDAP! For 3 years (the maximum duration permitted by the legislation). Draconian. She will be appealing that to the Administrative Court. The ambit of that Order is absurdly wide, in my view.
I shall relay news of the re-sentencing result when I have it, later in the day.

[Update, 24 October 2021: in the event, Alison Chabloz was sentenced to an extra term of imprisonment, mostly flowing from —as I speculated might happen, but which I thought unlikely to happen— the Unpaid Work Requirement from her previous sentence. Most unjust. However, she has now, at time of writing, been out of prison for many weeks]

“20 years of war“? 42, surely? The Soviet Union instigated a coup d’etat and later invaded, both in 1979.
It is worth taking a few minutes to brief yourself about the history of Afghanistan, which goes back thousands, and even tens of thousands, of years: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan#History.
Looking down today’s list at Southwark Crown Court, I noticed that, out of 5 trials listed, only one defendant has a British (Welsh) first name and surname (if that means anything). The rest? 3 are obviously Muslim and the other something like Malay, or Thai, at a guess.
In fact, even that one “Welsh” name may not be really British (I do not know).
I was going to copy and paste the list, but it is Crown Copyright, with reproduction strictly prohibited.

#NigelFarage is calling for Britain to take in #Afghan 'refugees'. Let's have a think about that. Who are fleeing the Taliban? Noisy feminists, LGBTQ+, criminals, heroin producers & traitors who took foreign money to aid the foreign occupation of their country. SHUT THE DOOR!
Unconfirmed reports state that Alison Chabloz has now been re-sentenced at Southwark Crown Court.
If the said reports are accurate, the sentencing judge has trawled back through the non-custodial part of the sentence Alison received, not for the most recent conviction, but the earlier one, in 2018! That sentence included a suspended prison sentence, as well as several non-custodial aspects.
It seems that what today’s sentencing judge has done is decide, on the basis of probation reports from 2018 (which are disputed), that Alison has not completed certain aspects of that 2018 sentence (eg enough hours of “slave labour”); the judge has also given Alison (as expected) an increase in sentence from the 18 weeks ordered by the magistrates earlier in 2021.
The result is that Alison has been sentenced to a headline sentence of a total of 32 weeks of imprisonment, of which she must serve half, i.e. 16 weeks, minus the 9 weeks already served, making 7 weeks extra.
I do not know whether Alison will be credited with the 4 days she served in 2020 prior to her (in effect) successful appeal on an earlier matter, or the 5 days which she has now served on remand, while awaiting this sentencing hearing. Presumably so. All the same, that would still leave Alison in prison for at least five and a half weeks from today.
I do not know whether there will be an appeal on sentence to the Court of Appeal.
The one bright aspect of the re-sentence, assuming that the unconfirmed reports are correct, is that there will now be no Criminal Behaviour Order, apparently. It may be that reports from yesterday (from usually-reliable sources) referred to what the judge was considering rather than what he eventually ordered. The presiding judge today said that to impose such an Order would be “unjustifiable“. With respect to His Honour, I can only agree!
However, the judge “advised” Alison to steer clear of social media.
The malicious Jew-Zionist pressure group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], has admitted “pursuing” Alison Chabloz relentlessly “for years” (their words). The court might have taken that harrying and trolling into account, at least in mitigation, but obviously did not.
Some people, even on the social-nationalist and anti-Zionist side of the argument, have had their disputes with Alison Chabloz. There is, however, no disputing her courage.

Alison Chabloz— more detailon the re-sentence
Usually-reliable sources now report that Alison will be credited at least with the 5 days spent in custody on remand; she will therefore spend just over 6 weeks more in prison. No news as to the 4 other days, served in 2020.
More detail about how the sentencing judge today [H.H. Judge Beddoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Beddoe] calculated his sentence: on the three charges wherewith Alison was convicted by magistrates earlier this year, 12 weeks each on the first two, consecutive, making 24 weeks. A further 12 weeks, but concurrent; then 8 weeks activated of the original 2018 suspended sentence, making 32 weeks in toto.
As noted earlier, that 32 weeks is then reduced by half, and then further reduced by the 9 weeks and 5 days Alison has already served, making about 6 weeks to be served, which, if she is credited with the other 4 days mentioned, might reduce the actual time to be served to about 5 and a half weeks.
It will be noted that, had the sentencing judge today not activated 8 weeks of the original 2018 suspended sentence, the total sentence today would have been 24 weeks, which would then have been reduced by half to 12 weeks, minus time served of 9 weeks, and also minus 5 days spent on remand in prison, which would have left Alison with no more than about 2 weeks to serve (less than two weeks if the extra 4 days were credited).
In other words, had the sentencing judge today not activated 8 weeks of the 2018 suspended sentence (an unexpected and remarkable decision), my previously-blogged calculations re. how much extra time Alison would have to serve would have been completely correct.
Further reports indicate that Alison is in good and defiant spirits despite the relatively harsh sentence. She is already working on a new song, this time about her various judges!
A final note, this time about the probation monkeys: on Monday, the probation “service” claimed that Alison had performed none of the “unpaid work requirement” (forced labour) from 2018. Today, when the reports were made available (the accuracy of which the presiding judge apparently criticized), it became clear that Alison had actually done 43 hours. Quite a difference. Administration is breaking down in the UK.
Write to Alison Chabloz
We should always support “the men (and women) behind the wire”. Alison is now in Bronzefield Prison. She would no doubt once again welcome cards, letters, books and small monetary gifts.
Her address is: Alison Chabloz A6478EK, HMP Bronzefield, Woodthorpe Road, Ashford, Middlesex, TW15 3JZ.
The prison number must always be included.
Books must be *new, *paperback, and preferably sent by commercial booksellers such as Abe Books (nb. Bronzefield does not accept any Amazon deliveries).
Money can also be sent, via the official system: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. With money sent, a prisoner can buy stamps, stationery, food etc. Also telephone credits.
Addendum
I have just now received a report to the effect that the presiding and sentencing judge in Alison Chabloz’s case did actually make a Criminal Behaviour Order against her yesterday. So my blog was accurate after all. He must have changed his mind, i.e. thought better of it. A Crown Court judge is in fact entitled to amend his own sentence within 56 days of it having been passed.
As I blogged yesterday and today, the Order that was apparently made yesterday would have been eminently appealable, in that it was ludicrously wide in its ambit, and unreasonably harsh in its duration. Still, water under the bridge…”and no need to mention the war”!

Quite an appalling, halting, meandering, unconvincing, staccato performance by PM Johnson opening Commons debate. Nobody could accuse him of rising to the occasion.
“What does it say about us as a country…?” Well, let me see…that the UK is scarcely a country, let alone a nation, any more. Swamped by non-European immigrants who are breeding fast, exploited by finance-capitalists and others (often —though certainly not always— Jew-Zionists), ruled by a cabal of NWO/ZOG puppets and Friends of Israel zealots (many Jewish, part-Jewish, Pakistani, Indian etc), and with standards sliding in all areas. Oh, and a state with only small and shrinking military and naval forces.
The UK has been increasingly in a dependent position, via a vis the USA, since 1940. So many people in the UK, though, cling to the idea that the UK is still the world power it was in the times of Empire.
Longer than that, actually. More like 1916, when we went bankrupt and launched the Somme offensive on borrowed money. https://t.co/qeIGRxNmIP
It has been many years since I was a practising barrister, but that tweet by Stephen Silverman, self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the CAA “charity”, appears to me to be a plain contempt of court.

As for “small world“, those in that CAA cabal that still tweet repeatedly about me number only about half a dozen; most of the bile is from from 4 or 5 individuals, at least three suffering from serious mental (and/or physical) problems which may affect what they tweet.

And here @faulknall is the item I published on November 15, clearly committing myself to record the ultimate result whatever it was. pic.twitter.com/givDwrlGSy
The present situation in Afghanistan is the “fault” of a number of parties or players: the backward Afghans themselves, the now-long-gone Soviet Union (for the 1979 invasion), the USA (for arming the Islamists, and for later invading Afghanistan along with NATO satraps —notably the UK—.
While I do not favour the importation of large numbers of Afghans (or any other brown/black people) to the UK, for me it is simply a matter of honour and gratitude to extract the relative few who worked openly with UK forces as interpreters, along with their immediate families. To abandon them to the “mercy” of the Islamists would be, for me, not a decent option.
That, despite the fact that I always opposed the intervention.
As for the thousands, if not millions, particularly women, who face death or degradation under Taliban rule, there is nothing that can now be done for them, unless the “West” is willing to reoccupy the country and (this time) rule it as a straight occupying and colonial power. That at least would be both honest and effective. It will not happen.
Ekranoplan
It may be worth looking again at the Ekranoplan. Same goes for Zeppelins (lighter-than-air craft) and other “discarded” technological manifestations. The hovercraft was at first dismissed as a cranky idea; the inventor, Cockerell, received scant thanks or honour in his lifetime (though the UK government did eventually grant him a special payment).
Readers of the blog in recent days will have noted that the appeal of Alison Chabloz, from her magistrates’ court conviction and sentence of early 2021, failed on Friday. She was remanded, oddly, in custody, until sentencing (set down for tomorrow, Monday 16 August 2021).
I myself cannot see any proper reason why she was remanded in custody, despite the presiding judge saying that he was “minded” to increase the sentence handed down by the magistrates earlier in the year.
Alison has served about 9 weeks of an 18-week sentence, i.e. the usual proportion before having been released. If the sentence on Monday is custodial (there remains a small chance that it will not be), then the maximum would be 6 months, meaning that Alison would expect to be released halfway through, at 3 months.
Alison has now served over 2 months, has several days “credit” due her for time wrongfully served in 2020 (her appeal against that succeeded when the CPS declined to disclose the backstairs manipulations of the CAA fake charity and some political figures), and has now served another 3 days (inc. tomorrow). That being so, she should only have to “sit” (as the Russians say) for another 2-3 weeks, even if she is (ludicrous as that would be) given the maximum sentence of 6 months. That is assuming release halfway through the sentence.
Still, not very nice for Alison, who has only been convicted, this time, for expressing opinions on history and society, really. The UK is becoming a (gradually-expanding) police state.
If anyone wishes to support Alison at court tomorrow (Monday 16 August 2021), she is going to be produced in person for the sentence. I apprehend that several Jew-Zionists are intending to attend so that they can gloat. What more would one expect from such tasteless creatures?
The matter will come on “not before 1230” at Southwark Crown Court; presiding and sentencing judge: H.H. Judge Beddoe.
That does not mean that the matter will be heard at 1230. It might be 1230, it might be 1245. It might be later. Courts usually break for lunch at 1300 hrs until 1400 or even later (the High Court usually resumes at about 1430).
When I often appeared at the High Court, in the early/mid 1990s, matters were often set down “not before…”, often with a time estimate (anything from 5 minutes to several days).
So this matter might well only start after 1400 hrs. How long? Depends on what the judge wants to examine and what he wants to say.
The court is (quite short) walking distance from London Bridge, and slightly further (but still within easy walking distance) from London Bridge Underground.
I read somewhere that a high proportion of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and survive (surprisingly, some do) realized, after they had jumped, that they wished that they had not jumped.
I wonder whether those who realized that they wanted to survive (and/or prayed?) and did survive, are just a random group, or did some (or even all?) survive because they wanted to and/or prayed? There is of course no way to tell whether prayer or desire make any difference.

It’s all being co-ordinated.

But that wasn’t what he was saying on July 8th where he said there was “no military path to victory for the Taliban.” https://t.co/CRep4qmkB7
Coincidentally President Biden also asked about Afghanistan on 8th July: asked whether he saw any parallels between Saigon/Vietnam and Kabul/Afghanistan: “None whatsoever. Zero”, he replied.
Quite funny, in a sense, that even now, after 20 years of Johnson’s clowning, after 2 years of Boris-idiot posing as Prime Minister, msm scribblers and talking heads are still asking about, in effect his (non-existent) competence for the role…
Boris Johnson is totally incompetent, totally unfitted for any senior political role. A part-Jew clown, chancer, joker, gambler, without any principle or principles, withot any real ideas of any kind. A total political idiot. Need one really keep repeating this?
As for “British Intelligence”, it (like much of Britain) has lived off its hump and its mostly undeserved reputation for a very very long time, and if it failed to notify its Whitehall and Downing Street customers in advance of the fall of the Shah of Iran, or of the Argentine invasion of the Falklands, or of the fall of the Soviet “empire” and the collapse of world socialism (and add to that the consequences of toppling Gaddafi), then it certainly is not surprising that its assessment of Taliban strength, order of battle, and of the general situation in Afghanistan was equally useless (it seems, looking from outside).
Possible today marks the end of something- or rather, Afghanistan catching up with something. The last decade saw the West lose all political will to conduct sustained interventionism. Hard to imagine in what circs West would intervene now. That moment feels as if it has passed.
“Intervention”, in order to create a new imperium in a given geopolitical space is one thing: Alexander, Rome, the British Empire, Germany seeking Lebensraum in 1939-42, the Soviet Union seeking Eastern/Central European hegemony after 1945; all of those had a strategy, a plan, and —crucially– “ideology”.
Then we have the US/”NATO” (NWO/ZOG) invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, and (attack on) Libya. No plan, no strategy, no idea of staying for the long-term and creating any new society, or colonizing those areas. Somewhere between pointless destruction and a geopolitical gesture.
Pathetic. The Western leaders of today are dwarfs in the geopolitical arena.

While I hear what Nick Griffin says, I think that it is wrong to kick someone who is down, particularly on these facts, and particularly when the individual concerned has been targeted by both the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] fake “charity” and the collusive NWO/ZOG police state.
Where I tend to agree with Griffin, if that is part of his point, is that broadcasting podcasts etc has only a limited utility because podcasts etc have only a limited reach. I myself had not heard of the defendant concerned until his arrest some months ago. I had not heard any of his material.
If I, someone interested in political and dissident matters, had heard nothing of that defendant (not even his name), how many members of the public generally will have heard of the man or his material? Few, it seems to me.
Of course, it is wrong that the defendant was ever prosecuted, and the sentence (for expressing opinions) savage (akin to what might happen in jurisdictions such as Belarus).
Freedom of expression on social, political and historical topics should be absolute. It is good news that the Law Commission has recommended the repeal of the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, but that has not happened yet. Meanwhile, other repressive laws may soon be enacted, and the Zionist lobby continues its evil and malicious activity.
As I have frequently blogged, the self-describing “Left” (pseudo-socialist tendency) has nothing to say any more; nothing to say at all about ways to improve society, nothing to say to the British people. All that such one-time rebels and would-be revolutionaries now have is a farrago of nonsense based around “anti-racism”, “anti-sexism” and “anti-fascism”.
The result of the above is that their biggest joy is to see someone, labelled “Nazi” or “fascist”, “deplatformed”, i.e. expelled from Twitter or Facebook, or (best of all) sacked from a job or a professional status. To that end, the “socialists” laud to the skies the titans of contemporary capitalism: Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc, and loudly proclaim that the “deplatformed” have no right of appeal, because such organizations are private-enterprise bodies with “terms and conditions of service” that cannot be appealed against…
How pathetic is that?! The one-time world-shaking “socialists” etc have just become serfs of the New World Order and its mega-capitalism…
In some countries, at some times, a fraudster and exploiter of that sort would have been taken down, either by the State, or by others. Not now, not in 2021 Britain. Predatory criminals of that sort think (with reason) that they can get away with it. They are right. They can. So far.

The world now needs only about 10% of its present population. That 10% should be entirely, or largely, composed of white Northern Europeans. That will provide a foundation for the future evolution of humanity, including, most importantly, the evolution of consciousness.
When the cross-Channel migration-invasion started in earnest a few years ago, even I was slightly sceptical at the idea that the Royal Navy, Border Force etc were “providing a shuttle service” for these unwanted guests. No longer. The conspiracy has become impossible to ignore.
If, every single day, dozens and often hundreds of migrant-invaders set to sea from the Channel coasts of France, knowing that they will probably be “intercepted” a few miles off the French coast and then brought to the UK, they are not people unexpectedly caught out at sea; they are migrant-invaders, and the Royal Navy, Border Force, RNLI and others are not only providing what amounts to a shuttle service but are part of an enormous scam in which the victims are the British people and their children’s futures.
The RNLI should never be in a position of picking up illegal immigrants from the English Channel. The Royal Navy should be patrolling and intercepting the dinghies and simply towing them all back to France.
This comment 100%. It's fine to criticise the way that the RNLI is operating in the English channel to help facilitate a problem that the French authorities are also facilitating. Stop these illegal migrants leaving the safety of France and the RNLI won't have to 'rescue' them. https://t.co/Nye74ODZ07

Exactly. I have seen it even in my limited sphere of influence.
First, the Jew-Zionist lobby attacked my Amazon UK reviews (I was in the top 50 of reviewers, out of millions). One or two obsessed (and pseudonymous, of course) Jews started to troll my reviews (all of them), from about 2010, by leaving comments about me being “antisemitic” etc. Then they got the Jewish Chronicle interested. It wrote about my reviews and pressured Amazon UK until Amazon deleted a third of my reviews (not selectively, just at random). Finally, by 2018, my remaining reviews were hidden from view.
At the same time, my reviews on Amazon USA were simply expunged suddenly. No appeal, no rights. So much for the Jew-dominated “land of freedom”…
On Twitter, a small cabal of Zionist Jews, clustered in the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] finally managed to have me expelled in 2018. They had already, in early 2017, made malicious complaint against me to the police in South Essex (where their would-be “enforcer”, Steven Silverman, lives): see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.
[erratum: an earlier draft had “Silverman” as “Slitherman”. Still, if the cap fits, I suppose!].
Previously, in 2014, similar and connected Jews (a large degree of overlap), calling themselves “UK Lawyers for Israel” (UKLFI), and including the self-publicizing “reputation specialist”, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (the official complaint was made under the signature of a Jew QC), had made a complaint against me to the Bar Standards Board: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/. That resulted, in late 2016, in my being (wrongfully, and indeed unlawfully) disbarred, some 8 years after I had actually ceased Bar practice.
This activity (and “they” themselves) constitute the largest single problem that the UK has. Infestation. Destruction of all freedom of expression on socio-political and historical topics.
The enemies of free speech should seriously consider what might happen if all, or effectively all, dissident speech or publication is effectively forbidden.

Incredible, but perhaps significant: at such a moment in world history, the West is under the overall figurehead command of an American President who seems not only to be suffering from dementia, but has (apparently) to wear anti-incontinence pants…
The Powers of Evil must be rubbing their hands as the Western ruling circles put into play the NWO/ZOG agenda for the 33 years from 2022-2055, built partly around the “Covid-19” fear campaign. Still, all things are yet possible.
In Sydney! When I was at school in Sydney (1967-69, nearly 3 years), you scarcely saw a policeman! In fact, the police had fewer powers to enter private property even than had the UK’s police forces. That was then. Australia now has twice the population, and has become a rather dystopian emergent police state, partly by reason of the “panicdemic”, partly because the population is now very mixed, racially and culturally…

Strange, nicht wahr? A virus suddenly appears “from nowhere” and is said to have suddenly manifested at a “wet market” of live and dead wild and domesticated animals in the large city of Wuhan, in China. There just happens to be a Chinese biological and virus research laboratory there. It also just happens that the USA and possibly Israel are involved and/or have given large amounts of funding to that laboratory.
More: the Chinese scientists and doctors who did not stick with the approved narrative about the appearance of “Covid-19” have all disappeared.
More: the virus manifested in Wuhan, yes, but then suddenly appeared in Alpine resorts in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the very places from where it could spread most rapidly across Western Europe.
Was it an accident that the virus suddenly moved from Wuhan to the Alps?
From an ordinary perspective, that might be true, but in terms of NWO/ZOG, the “Great Reset” etc, from the point of view of the ruling circles of the West, the WTO, the Bilderbergers etc, there might well be a good reason to spread not only a dangerous virus (albeit not quite as dangerous as presented) but also fear across the world.
As soon as the news of the (supposedly) deadly and world-shattering virus was headlined in the UK, several (fictional) films about viruses were shown on different channels, for several nights running. This was not in response to the news about “Coronavirus” but had been in the schedules for weeks or even months. How did that happen? Accident? Co-incidence? Synchronicity? Or was it conspiracy? Was it all planned?
“On 16 May 2016, Dearlove gave a public lecture televised by the BBC on contemporary mass foreign migration and its effects upon the European continent.
In its text he stated that the governments of Europe were facing a “sea change” in their politics, and if they did not get control and prevent ongoing mass migration of peoples from Africa and Asia into Europe they would find themselves “at the mercy of a populist uprising, … which is already stirring,” and that the oncoming 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum was the first manifestation of it.[26]
He stated further that foreign mass migration’s geopolitical impact upon Europe, if it was not prevented, was set to reshape its political landscape as those of its citizens who feel their interests are threatened asserted their influence.”
The ruling circles of the West (aka “the international conspiracy/consensus”, or “the System”) preferred the UK to remain part of the EU, because they think in terms of blocs of power. The EU controlled the UK and the other nations of Europe and was tightening that control. Having said that, a managed, controlled Brexit did not seriously threaten that matrix, because it just pulled the UK closer to the equally NWO/ZOG USA. They win either way. That’s their thinking.
Good grief! “Becca Hutson”? Who she? An ignorant and stupid woman, obviously. She seems to imagine that, for example, the “resources” taken out of the ground in, say, Africa, should have been left there (where the natives knew not even of their existence, let alone what to do with them).
Ah. This is her: https://www.gbnews.uk/bio/rebecca-hutson. She is “Head of Digital” apparently, for that doomed “alt-right” GB News channel. I have never watched it, and from what I have seen on Twitter, shall never bother. Will it even exist this time next year? Doubtful.
As for Ms. Hutson, despite the English accent, she is a US citizen, it seems, and born in the USA in 1993. Educated partly in UK (at a Cambridge sixth form college, then at University of Bristol). At time of writing, 28 years old.
So let me get this straight in my head, I can have Aids, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Ebola, Hepatitis, Meningitis and conjunctivitis.. and I can eat in a restaurant and go to the pub.. but if I haven't had a vaccine for covid-19 (aka nasty cold virus) … I'm barred.

The “panicdemic” meant that “Nightingale” hospitals were quickly established. All very impressive (in TV news releases), but most were never even used.

It was a warm day…thankfully, it seems that, though I felt warm, I was not too warm! Glad to get through, and not be bundled away to God knows where. Is that coming here too?

Hitchens must ask why “undemocratic” ideas are gaining in popularity. It is because “democracy”, both in the UK and elsewhere (France, USA etc), is not delivering.

What do you have to lose @not_humphrey? Mass abstention is the only serious power individuals have. Governments and parties have no legitimacy if nobody votes for them. So why, if we dislike them as much as we say, do we give them that legitimacy? https://t.co/cxsGavgwrL
Hitchens sometimes lives in the ivory tower. Yes, abstaining from voting may deprive a political party from having “legitimacy” (so long as everyone abstains) but that would not, even in that extreme scenario, deprive that party from having and exercising power, at least not so long as one voter votes, or a small number vote. In the end, a corrupt electoral system can either be reformed by the reasoned consent of the ruling cliques (as in the UK in the 1830s, with the Reform Acts et seq.) or, failing that, by physical overthrow…
It did not take Twitter long to wake up to the persistent and malicious “reporting” and denouncing (to Twitter, to professional regulatory bodies, to police etc) by the “CAA” goblins, once it saw them at close quarters…
Exactly. Just as happened months ago to my mother-in-law, who was routinely and frequently tested when in hospital with a fracture, and then found (assuming that the test was accurate) to have “the virus” after she had been in the hospital for weeks. No symptoms, either before the test or after it. She was eventually discharged, never having had any symptoms. Her age at the time? 99! Oh, and had she died (from any cause) within 28 days of discharge, she too would have “died within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test” and would have been pressed into service as part of the statistical scam around the “panicdemic”.
Talking about the “panicdemic”, I visited a Tesco supermarket today, about 6 miles from my home. Most of the shoppers were “rabbits” (masked serfs), but there was a sizeable minority (including me) maskless. No-one (whether “rabbit” or Tesco staff) said a word to me in criticism, though I saw that Tesco employees almost all were muzzled (with completely pointless, useless, cloth masks). Probably told by managers to wear them.

Egregious political chancer George Galloway saying that he is not “antisemitic” because, inter alia, when he was working undercover as a pro-ANC agent in South Africa in the 1980s, Jews were those who provided him with cars, overnight accommodation (and cash?) etc.
At that time, Galloway was General Secretary of War on Want, a supposed charity partly funded (then, though not now, I think) by the British taxpayer. It gets EU monies as well.
Galloway got into trouble over his expenses. He was cleared of actually stealing (embezzling), apparently, but all the same had to repay nearly £2,000 (worth maybe £10,000-£20,000 now). He never sued over allegations in the Daily Mirror that he had been enjoying “a life of luxury” at the expense of War on Want’s donors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway#War_on_Want.
The point Nick Griffin is making, and justly so, is that Jews are always behind any attacks on white Northern European culture and politics. There they were in South Africa, the Jews, making money, living in large numbers in the most expensive parts of Cape Town and Johannesburg (to the extent that white people in Africa used to call “Jo’burg”, “Jewburg“!), yet at the same time undermining the whole foundation of that society.
Now look at the UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia, USA, Canada, Australia etc…
As for Galloway, how pathetic is it that he, and many like him who are self-describing “Left” or “socialist” types, oppose Jewish hegemony and supremacism in Palestine, yet pay lip-service to Jews and the Jewish “community” in the UK, France etc? Truly pathetic.
On the pseudo-nationalist side of UK politics (as in the USA) you get people, especially those trying to make a living out of their activities, who loudly proclaim their (usually unwanted) allegiance to the Jews and Israel: Katie Hopkins, Breitbart, “Prison Planet” Watson, “Tommy Robinson” (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), Anne Marie Waters, Jayda Fransen, “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) and others.
Politically-speaking, and in fact usually in general, foolish people. They are political nullities, dependent for their income —and such prominence as they have— on their social media profile. If that is taken away, they have nothing left.

Before the political midgets currently “ruling” the UK “defy” China in the South China Sea, they should take a look (Wikipedia has overviews) at the relative strengths of the Royal Navy of the UK, as against the Chinese navy. Britain has about 2 or 3 dozen large ships and submarines, and about 170 naval aircraft. The Chinese have some 600 ships and a similar number of naval aircraft. I suppose the idea is that the UK will be a poodle for American power, again…
The absurd irony is that, while Britain is undertaking gestures of the above sort, Chine people are flooding into the UK. Take a look at any British city. Boris-idiot has also invited up to 6 MILLION Hong Kong Chinese to live here.

“The new “harm-based” communications offence 1.33 The offence that we recommend should replace section 127(1) of the CA 2003 and the MCA 1988 is an offence based on a communication’s potential for harm rather than on its content fitting within a proscribed category (such as “grossly offensive” or “indecent” content). Specifically, we recommend that it should be an offence for a person to send or post a communication (letter, electronic communication, or “article”, in the sense of “object”) that is likely to cause harm to a likely audience, intending that harm be caused to that likely audience. “Harm” for this purpose is defined as psychological harm amounting to at least serious distress.
1.34 This moves the focus away from broad categories of wrongful content, as we see in the current offences, to a more context-specific analysis: given those who were likely to see the communication, was harm likely or not likely? This formulation therefore ensures that, first, communications that are genuinely harmful do not escape criminal sanction merely because they cannot fit within one of the proscribed categories. Secondly, communications that lack the potential for harm are not criminalised merely because they might be described as grossly offensive or indecent etc.
1.36 The fault element for our recommended offence is set at a higher level of culpability than is the case under the current law: the defendant must intend to cause serious distress. Under section 127(1) CA 2003, the defendant need only have intended to have sent the communication of the proscribed character (ie they need not have intended any particular result). The MCA 1988 offence requires proof that the defendant intended to cause alarm or distress, which is the same fault element as harassment (but, notably, harassment requires a course of conduct, whereas the communications offence is complete at the point of sending a single communication). Our threshold is higher; it requires proof that the defendant intended to cause psychological harm amounting at least to serious distress.” [Law Commission report]
I have not yet read the full report, but what I have read so far seems to be (and could hardly not be) an improvement on the existing Communications Act 2003, s.127, which has been abused for years by Jew-Zionist cabals. notably the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (fake charity) crowd.
I contributed (as a member of the public) to that report. What effect (if any) my contribution had, I have no idea. No matter. “The stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [Chinese proverb].
I have noticed the same phenomena, more or less, at the Waitrose (the only fairly close local supermarket), a mile or two from my home. I was there yesterday. No-one wearing latex gloves, but 90% or more masked, and I even saw one idiot wearing a helmet with a visor, as though Ebola virus was about, rather than Covid-19 (which has killed about one in every thousand people in the UK, and a far smaller proportion where I live). Different ages, but the vast majority at least of retirement age, reflecting the age-demographic locally (and especially true of local Waitrose shoppers).

Sadly, very true, though “Left wing” (eg “socialist”) is not fully accurate, certainly not the full story. The Jew-Zionist element has a near-stranglehold, as it does over the msm. In fact, not so long ago, the fake UK “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” was advertising for “volunteers” with their own Wikipedia accounts to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia pages.
Wikipedia is one of the best resources on the Internet, perhaps the best, which makes it all the more irritating that Jew-Zionists and others are using it to spread propaganda.
It is absurd, also, that the mainstream UK newspaper, the Daily Mail, cannot be cited as a source for anything, yet rubbish publications such as the Sun, Mirror, even Morning Star, can be! Incidentally, I have no reason to be kind to the Daily Mail, as you will see if you google “Ian Millard barrister Daily Mail”!

Also, we see that the trend for the State to “outsource” things has now led to the “Boris” etc weaselling that the facemask nonsense will largely end (in law) on 19 July 2021, while at the very same time telling the public that they “should” carry on being scared facemask-wearing rabbits, and also telling —or nod-and-winking— to large supermarkets etc, and airlines, that they should effectively demand that their customers continue to be muzzled.
Screw that, and screw all companies demanding facemask use! Rebel any way you can, especially by boycotting those companies. Vote with your feet, and with your wallet or purse!

After 2008, “austerity” (which was the policy not only of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne but also of Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling), was completely wrongheaded.

(and in most of the USA, minimum-wage workers cannot afford even a one-bed apartment!).
The same or similar problem exists in the UK. Topping-up pay via Universal Credit is quite wrong; it subsidizes poor-paying-employers vis a vis employers who pay decently. Pay must be sufficient to live on. A measure of State-paid Basic Income will also have to come into existence, because the nexus between pay and work is very loose now, and many do not have paid work at all.
Stonehouse was a sensation when exposed as a fraud who had not died, as everyone thought, in 1974, in the sea off Miami Beach (a rather unlikely place to drown anyway). His espionage for socialist Czechoslovakia was not exposed —to the public— until well after his death.
That was an age when politicians, though hardly honoured, were still regarded as basically straight people. The later tidal wave of mediocre and hopeless idiots had not yet filled the Commons. That was another reason why people were fascinated by Stonehouse’s attempted (and very nearly successful) scam.
Other reasons why l’affaire Stonehouse became a sensation, briefly, were because it coincided with that Reginald Perrin TV comedy series, and also because a few other cases of international (British) fugitives had been news for years, notably that of Ronnie Biggs [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Biggs].
I recall that, when I had to visit the British High Commission in Gaborone, Botswana, in 1977, at age 20, I noticed a small golden plaque by the entrance stating that it had been officially opened by John Stonehouse in 1966, when he had been a minister in the Colonial Office and its successor, the short-lived Commonwealth Office (from 1968, joined with the Foreign Office in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office).
Strange to see that inscription, nearly three years after Stonehouse’s disgrace (but history is history, something both the “BLM” idiots and Zionist Jews might note).
The Daily Mail piece also contained the assertion that one Ernest Fernyhough, PPS to Prime Minister Harold Wilson, had also been (one of a number of Labour MPs) spying for the Czech StB (external intelligence organization). His treachery is new to me, and I see that Wikipedia does not mention it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Fernyhough.
I imagine that Stonehouse, who was a bit of a Casanova, and a gambler generally, might have been a fairly useful agent for Czech Intelligence, willing to take calculated risks.
As to the book, to be released on 22 July 2021, I might buy the hardback edition via Amazon when it is put on secondhand sale in a few months. RRP is £25.99, but the book can be bought at £18.99. Maybe when there are good, or as-new, used copies for £2 or so. Or, if you like, “when you get down to 90 kopecks, wake me up again”.
Despite that Daily Mail piece having been interestingly written, it contained one schoolboy error by the author (of both the book and the article): speaking in the strict legal sense, Stonehouse did not commit, as the writer claims, “treason”; his alleged espionage crimes would have been charged, had he been charged, under the Official Secrets Act(s) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Secrets_Act#United_Kingdom].
What a co-incidence! The new Secretary of State for Health, and also the person posing as PM, are apparently both now “self-isolating”. Of course, that has nothing to do with 19 July 2021, the day after tomorrow, and the (latest, so-called) “Freedom Day”…

The organized trade unions, what’s left of them, are basically just System-run, politically-correct, advice organizations, of very little use to British people whether employed or not.
I myself am not a member, nor even supporter (as such) of Patriotic Alternative, but the negative attention that PA is getting from “the usual suspects” makes me think that they are at least on the right track.
I don't think we need to worry about this, comrades. They can carry on protesting. Before the next election we'll have Macron close a couple of mosques and the masses will vote for him again. https://t.co/jPnFmciGw2

I missed Bastille Day, so here’s to Macron meeting with Madame Guillotine!
Late music
Last word tonight
Listening to BBC World Service and, once again, appalled by the poor standards now, as compared to the 1970s and 1980s, when I was a regular listener. Then, mostly interesting and erudite programming, and including some entertainment, of which some even entertained me. Now, endless black “music” or other ghastly trash, and “BLM”-style nonsense propaganda. 90% of the output now is rubbish.
