Ha ha! Complete rabble.

Re. Labour’s recent supposed “stunning victory” in the recent Hamilton by-election (Scottish Parliament): when you look at the figures, Labour won but with only 31.6% of the vote. The SNP vote fell markedly (unsurprisingly) to 29.4%, and Reform UK, which had not previously put up a candidate in the constituency, came in a close third, with 26.1%; all three main candidates were within a band of 1,400 votes.

The Conservative Party got only 6%, a huge fall from its previous vote, and the six other candidates (including the LibDem) lost their deposits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,Larkhall_and_Stonehouse(Scottish_Parliament_constituency)#2020s

This was a pretty good performance by Reform. They may well succeed next time. Until now, Scotland has been a barren field for broadly British nationalist parties, so the result is an interesting straw in the wind.

Tel Aviv, the Ben-Gurion Airport, and Dimona, the “unholy trinity” of obvious strategic targets.

That Jew is an Israeli government minister. Openly says what most of his co-conspirators do not— that Israeli policy is genocidal, i.e. either to wipe out the Palestinian Arab population in Gaza, or to “resettle” them in concentration camps. Wait a minute…where have I heard something similar to that before?…about 90 years ago, in Europe…but back then, much of the population affected was able to leave, and go to Palestine, the UK, the USA, Australia, South Africa etc, and in many cases with considerable stolen or otherwise “acquired” monies and gold etc.

“They” always think like terrorists. They always target the civilian population of any country.

Well, if (as claimed by Israel) Iran is within days of building a viable nuclear weapon, now is the time to use it. What is happening is all-out war, initiated by Israel.

I happened to see a biographical/interview feature by joke-journalist scribbler Zoe Williams in the Guardian. Interminable and very boring, and I did not finish it, but I had a feeling about the subject of the interview, one “Miranda July”. Sure enough, and as I intuited. Her real name is Grossinger. Half-Jewish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_July#Early_life.

Hard to decide whether Rachel Reeves (“Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations”) is the most horrible member of this evil “elected” dictatorship, or not. Maybe Yvette Cooper is worse; about the same, I think (and both belong to Labour Friends of Israel).

Ha.

Steer clear. In an ideal world, the Islamists and Jewish Zionists would destroy each other, leaving the white European post-Aryan peoples to rule over the rest.

I might agree with part of that, but he is wrong to say Israelis are “white“; a few are, most are not. Question of definition.

The Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby voice has spoken, and set its craven puppets to repeat.

Mel Stride, a System mediocrity whose time has come. Now that the mortally-wounded Conservative Party is dying, and is headed by a Nigerian carpetbagger woman, and now that any Con MPs of any weight have disappeared, out comes Stride to pose as Shadow Chancellor and probable successor to the Nigerian. He may not have quite grasped that, even if his plan works, he will then be heading a party which will, by 2028 or 2029, have only a few dozen MPs; maybe only one or two dozen.

Found this about her: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13476757/streamer-natalie-reynolds-dares-homeless-woman-jump-lake-stunt.html. Would be nice if something unpleasant were to happen to her; in the meantime, losing her Tik-Tok income will do.

Unsurprising, bearing in mind that the Israelis seem to have bankrolled and protected the ISIS barbarians and their allies in the past.

Starmer-stein wasting British taxpayer monies, and putting British pilots etc at risk, for the sake of helping the Jewish state, which has murdered our soldiers and civilians in the past, and whose supporters exploit the British people now.

Yes, that was a long time ago (mid-1940s) but is more recent than whatever the Germans are alleged to have done to Jews in the early 1940s, and about which Jewish and Israeli organizations (and Israel itself) are still constantly whining.

Ha ha! I recall blogging many years ago, maybe 2017 or 2018, that, were I to vote in a swimsuit competition, Penny Mordaunt might get my vote, but not in any other context.

If the “British citizens” are Jews in Israel, many of whom have dual nationality, and who are usually fanatical Jew-Zionists, then let them stay there, pack a Desert Eagle, and take their chances.

As for moral coward and ex-MP Ellwood, who killed a neighbour’s cat while driving his car carelessly, but failed even to stop, he of course is one of the worst NWO/ZOG political puppets. He was also an expenses cheat. At least one of his parents worked in a diplomatic/intelligence role, and he himself, though reaching only the rank of captain in the (Regular) Army, is now a Lt.-Col. or maybe full Colonel in the sinister online/propaganda Reserves unit, the 77th Brigade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Ellwood; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77th_Brigade_(United_Kingdom).

Ellwood is absolutely idiotic in terms of his preferred field— geopolitics. If anyone were to listen to him, we should be fighting Russia, China, and much of the Arab/Muslim world, simultaneously.

Starmer-stein has to be removed.

There probably are very stupid people who support Labour, and who think that Starmer-Labour is the same party once headed by Attlee, Harold Wilson etc. Not really. What now exists is a kind of “System Party” with several heads, one of which is “Labour”. Listen to Starmer. He sounds much more like a Conservative Party prime minister than anything approaching what, in the past, sounded like a Labour one.

Interesting name. “Metreveli” (“v” not “w”) is a Georgian surname. Wonder what is her background. “Florence” (her middle name) is, I think (subject to correction), a rather old-fashioned English name. My own maternal grandmother was Florence Eva [+ surname].

Seems that the new SIS Chief at one time anyway lived in Pimlico (quite convenient for the HQs of both MI5 and MI6/SIS).

47 years old (48 in July), and read Anthropology at Pembroke College, Cambridge. That must have been in the late 1990s.

At first, it seemed as though the Israelis were going to have a depressingly easy time in this conflict. Now, though, an outlier thought comes to mind…could this be the beginning of the end for Israel?

Oil prices will probably continue to rise, placing Russia in a good position economically and thus militarily. As for the Kiev regime, “blackbird, bye bye“…

The cat came back

A very nice story and also, beyond that, an interesting example of how animals both have a homing instinct and also (beyond even that) a connection with their humans that goes beyond “mere” homing (amazing though that alone is). In some cases, animals have found their way across hundreds, even thousands of miles, to their humans’ new homes, homes to which, and in places to which they, the animals, have never been. There should be research into this.

Though The Incredible Journey and the novel on which it was based [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Journey] were fictional, there are similar accounts which are not fictional.

Could it be that, apart from the more obvious ways in which animals navigate, or may navigate, animals such as cats and dogs, often personally connected with particular humans, can find those with whom they feel a connection via some kind of “silver cord” based on (?) brainwaves or some other emanation?

The strange military ballet which takes place daily at the border between India and Pakistan.

Even now, in the face of such devastation, bombing of hospitals, and starvation of children, and plans to drive out (to where?) the entire Palestinian Arab population, you see online and on TV the bleating of Zionist Jews living in the UK, USA etc that that is all “self-defence” and that any criticism of it is “antisemitic” and should be banned.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the way forward is not the UK parliamentary democracy of (arguende) 1832-present, not Sovietism, not even National Socialism (in its original clothing), but a synthesis of the best elements of those, suffused with interest in, and knowledge of, the supernatural world, as noted in my blog piece from many years ago about my personal history:

[“Ian Millard is now determined to put forward ideas and views for a positive future society in the UK, mainland Europe and beyond.

Ian Millard’s world-view comes out of both wide reading and the experience of living and working all over the world, and is composed of a synthesis of political ideologies, religions, philosophies and studies, prominent among which are the ideas and ideals contained in Anthroposophy, National Socialism, pan-Europeanism, and non-denominational Christianity, particularly Christic and Grail occultism.

Society in the advanced countries (and, therefore, the rest of the world) has come to a dead end, except in strictly technical fields.

A new society must arise, based at least fundamentally on the Threefold Social Order concept of Rudolf Steiner and on a mainly European population in the European or Eurasian lands.*

*”Eurasia” in this context refers mainly to Europe, Russia (including Siberia), Ukraine, Kazakhstan and some other Russophone areas.“]

Stray thought (aka “why is nothing in the UK thought through properly?”)

I should say that a major problem of both local and central government (and orgs under both) in this country is the apparent sheer inability to think things through; particularly policies, but it extends to what Basil Fawlty would call “the bleeding obvious“.

Yesterday, I drove 15 miles to visit someone at a major hospital, the recorded telephone message of which starts with some pointless propaganda about how £400M or £500M is being spent on new buildings etc.

So, anyway, after a slow, incredibly congested drive to the place, I find that there are indeed new buildings still under construction, but that a good part of what had been public parking has now been built upon. No doubt the usual bureaucratic box-tickers think that that is wonderfully “green”, and have little interest in the inconvenience of people visiting, or needing to stay, in the hospital.

The next problem was in finding the patient I was visiting. I just cannot believe that a major NHS hospital apparently has no main reception desk! Perhaps (?) one will exist, once all the changes have been made, but for now at least, no reception. Beyond belief. In France, in the USA, the reception desk is inescapable. The UK prefers the “Hampton Court Maze” approach.

I asked some foreign (Malaysian?) nurse or other uniformed person where was reception. She had difficulty in repeating the word, then directed me to what was (inevitably) the wrong direction, in view of the fact that, as I then discovered, there was no reception…

Finally, another person told me to find A&E, and the A&E desk would look up the patient’s name for me. I did that, and was given the number of the ward and bay. Thank you. Where would I find that ward? They were unable to tell me! They did not know the layout of the hospital, and apparently had no map or plan to hand.

I had to stumble around, asking random uniformed personnel, until I was told— at the other end of the large complex (of course).

En route to my destination, I noticed a sticker or poster proudly proclaiming that the hospital had been awarded 5 stars (the maximum) for cleanliness. I have to say the place did not look too clean.

Signage— terrible. Architecture. Almost rock-bottom.

Just one example. I could cite so many others. Yet Britain not so long ago completed Crossrail (now, the “Elizabeth Line”), a very impressive, very complex rail project. I can only assume that people who knew what they were doing were in charge of the rail project, whereas in the NHS, local authorities, and in respect of central government direct policy (immigration etc) you are dealing with the —often-clueless— bureaucrat element and the —even worse— political-idiot element.

Walk down almost any street, in almost any part of the country. Even in the shopping streets of or near affluent areas, many on the streets are blacks, browns, Chinese. This is not only migration-invasion, but also migration-occupation.

In any case, that 431,000 number is arrived at by including (and setting-off) those white British/European people who are leaving, whereas almost all of the immigrants coming to the UK are black/brown/Chinese, so the reality is even worse.

Almost none. Statistical zero. Over time, they and their offspring will be, at best, parasites, at worst criminal or terroristic.

Simon Myerson is the malicious and vituperative Jew-Zionist barrister from Leeds who was sacked as a recorder (p/t judge) because he was unwilling, or perhaps unable (by reason of his character or mentality), to stop his online abuse of and insult to people.

Actually, looking at Myerson’s tweet, it is surely libellous on its face. It is not unlikely that Dr. Clarke henceforth will be avoided by Jewish patients etc who have seen Myerson’s tweet, and who may take seriously the allegation that she is “unsafe” (meaning, in this context, likely to deliberately cause injury to them).

There is surely, in potentio, direct financial damage there, and career damage, as well as reputational damage.

I think that Dr. Clarke should consult her solicitor without delay. Myerson has plenty of cash and property with which to satisfy any damages and costs that might result from a successful claim in defamation.

Incidentally, in English law there is no such thing as a “blood libel“, which is a term used only by Jews (or their puppets) to describe criticism by non-Jews of bloodletting, or alleged bloodletting, by Jews.

A barrister, Jewish or otherwise, should not be making up law and broadcasting the nonsense online (or elsewhere), thus misleading the general public.

I also think that Dr. Clarke would be within her rights to refer Myerson to the Bar Standards Board. I also think that she should.

Myerson should be reported to both the Bar Standards Board and the court where that trial is to take place (I think, not sure, the Central Criminal Court/Old Bailey).

Myerson was involved as a witness in the civil trial in which Newbon was a defendant. The trial judge did not believe a word Myerson said (or the testimony of several other Jewish witnesses), though said judge expressed his assessment more diplomatically than I have done.

Newbon, a vicious social media troll and pro-Israel fanatic, committed suicide before the trial ended (in defeat for the three defendants, the two still alive and Newbon). The James Wilson who has tweeted above was the successful claimant in that trial.

Starmer-stein has done the near-impossible— made Boris-idiot, Liz Truss and others seem (relatively) honest. Hard to believe (in both senses).

…and now the Israeli Jews, apparently backed by most Zionist Jews from other parts of the world, are, literally, deliberately starving to death the Arab Palestinians of Gaza, including the children. The same Jew-Zionists who are always whining about the alleged treatment of their ancestors by Germans (and Poles, and Ukrainians, and French etc) during WW2, a conflict which ended 80 years ago.

Interesting.

…thus proving that 64% of the UK population in 2020 were unthinking, panicked, deliberately-stampeded idiots.

Immigration, on the scale seen by the UK for half a century, impacts everything, and every other issue.

Migration invasion. Migration occupation. Utterly disastrous.

However, despite the Easter truce, Kyiv forces attempted to attack Russian army positions in the Sukhaya Balka and Bogatyr areas of Donetsk. Overnight, Ukrainian forces used 48 drones, one of which targeted Crimea.

The Conservative Party is close to being finished. Labour is now committing suicide similarly. The LibDems are just a joke party, pointless and stupid. That leaves Reform, which is not social-national, but merely conservative-nationalist, and which may be in government after 2028/2029.

Starmer-stein and the Labour (Friends of Israel) misgovernment

So Starmer, with a potentially disastrous by-election (Runcorn and Helsby, 1 May 2025) coming down the track, is suddenly making meaningless “tough” noises about immigration gangs etc.

One thing is sure: the migration-invasion will not be stopped by such measures, even if implemented.

As far as Starmer is concerned, both as “world leader” or “statesman” (in his own little mind), he has, so far, managed to alienate both Russia and the USA, as well as 90% or more of the British people.

Marine le Pen and French “democracy”

Macron is widely despised. This judicial outrage is nakedly political, and has the aim of preventing Marine le Pen from standing as a (probably successful) Presidential candidate in 2027, and is aimed, beyond that, at keeping France under NWO/ZOG control.

The French people have overthrown tyrants in the past. Perhaps the time has come for a new French Revolution.

Remove Macron. He does not represent France but only NWO/ZOG.

Incidentally, I assessed Macron on the blog six years ago:

Study the polls and see why Farage and Reform genuinely have a chance to govern.

Public put the Reform leader top in ‘best PM’ poll

Nothing is sticking. New polling for The Telegraph by Ipsos reveals that when asked who would do a “good job as prime minister”, Farage comes out on top on 28 per cent. Keir Starmer is one per cent behind, and Ed Davey two per cent. Badenoch is languishing at 18 per cent, her step-by-step approach to formulating a new set of Tory policies failing to register with voters who are still not listening to the “natural party of government”.

I went through the Ipsos numbers with Ben Butcher, our data editor, who identified just why Labour and the Conservatives should be worried.

“Labour is widely seen to be the party of the elite, with Reform trouncing Starmer with the C2DE and lower-paid respondents,” Butcher told me. The “red wall” is there for Reform’s taking, with the party polling well ahead of Labour amongst non-graduates.

“Ain’t nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos,” said the American politician, Jim Hightower. As Davey attacks from the soft centre, Reform outflanks the Tories from the other side. The Conservative leader is on a perilous downslope, her skis pulling in different directions. Farage beats Badenoch with older voters, the working-class and lower paid people on the question of who would do a good job as Prime Minister.

Let’s fix broken Britain,” Farage told 10,000 people in Birmingham. “I’m not mucking about.” The old parties that once commanded the comfortable heights of majority support are very clear that he is not.

The voters are willing to take any option that seems to have a chance. The System parties have all failed. If only there were a proper social-national party able to take on the challenge. The “Parliamentary road” is not the way forward, as such, but may have a part to play. All roads lead to Rome.

The truth is that, since the 1970s, paid work has become far more stressful in the UK. The “long hours culture”, “present-ism”, no proper lunch hours, the vulgar trend of people eating at their desks, the perceived “need” to be on-call in the evenings or at weekends etc. All for other peoples’ profits and self-aggrandisement.

Still, I would not expect Kate Ferguson, the Political Editor (yes, they really do have one) of the Sun on Sunday, to want to acknowledge any of that.

Does Starmer want the UK to become an irradiated wasteland?

Having said that, if it were only one massive warhead, landing on Central London, the centre of most of the socio-political degeneracy and corruption (and “the lobby”, i.e. “them”), it might at least have a silver lining…

It might even give the British people the chance to have a proper social-national government, and thus a new society, once the main enemies are eliminated.

Will look forward to reading that, and probably reposting it on the blog.

Jesus H. Christ! That tweeter “@frankflynn20016” must be a complete idiot. He thinks that, if millions of Europeans cease to exist, and are then replaced by the same or a greater number of black Africans, Europe will be “saved”, or even that it will be better than it now is!

She was elected to Parliament 7 years before him. She was (inexplicably) a Cabinet Minister now (inexplicably) LOTO. This crap needs to stop – not least because it looks so weak and the greybeards said she’s Boudica. A disgrace a fringe party with 5 MPs is currently out-performing the out-going government party.”

As Fiona Syms (ex-wife of an ex-MP) knows well enough, Reform UK is not really a “fringe party”. It has only 5 MPs because the electoral system in this country is both grotesquely unfair and grotesquely illogical.

At GE 2024 (and in rough terms), out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

If Reform UK is “a fringe party“, then so is not only the Green Party, but also the LibDems (who got 500,000 fewer votes than Reform UK), and indeed the Conservatives, who received only slightly more than 1.5x the votes cast for Reform UK. Even Labour only received just over 2.3x the Reform UK vote.

In actual numbers: Labour 9,708,716; Conservatives 6,828,925; Reform UK 4,117,620; LibDems 3,519,143; Green Party 1,841,888.

If the people keep being ignored, they will eventually turn on the System parties.

I agree with Fiona Syms, though, re. how hopeless Kemi Badenoch is. Well, there you go. If you put people in positions because they are “diversity hires”, they will almost invariably be a waste of space. Look at Lammy…

A search has been launched after a man slashed multiple train seats with a knife in broad daylight. The incident took place at around 3pm on Monday, September 23 on a train between Erith and London Bridge.

British Transport Police have since been investigating a man in possession of an offensive weapon and the serious public order offence.

Take a look at that photo. Is there any point keeping such a “person” in our society? Useless even as forced labour.

We have to accept that we need to upgrade the population in order to evolve the society, or even maintain it as it is. Much of the London population, indeed the UK population, now degrades society just by existing.

Which is why Ukrainians now have to be abducted by press-gangs looking for “recruits”. No-one with half a brain wants to serve in the Kiev-regime forces— it’s a death sentence.

Trump, USA, NATO, EU, Denmark, Greenland, UK, and Russia

This Greenland thing (the USA potentially going to annex the territory) may (if it ever happens) drive a wedge between the USA on the one hand, and the EU states (and European members of NATO) on the other. That would be a very good thing. NATO might even fall apart, enabling all of Europe to develop closer links with Russia.

A British man who crammed a woman and child into a tiny car boot with little room to move or breathe has been jailed, the Home Office has said. Leon Leslie, 39, stashed the Vietnamese migrants a 14-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman into the back of his hired Kia and tried to transport them to the UK.

[“British man“…]

Border Force agents found the pair wedged in the boot when they stopped the car in Coquelles, France, on April 16 last year. Leslie, from Birmingham, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assisting unlawful immigration into the UK.

When questioned, he refused to offer any explanation as to why the woman and girl were in his car, the Home Office said.

Leslie was jailed for three years at Canterbury Crown Court On Thursday, September 26, having pleaded guilty.

Farage is, of course, a major aspect of the “controlled opposition” phenomenon.

Having said that, Reform UK may well have a part to play in destroying the “three main parties” scam in the UK.

The strategy of the System seems to be that, if/when the main System parties are finally binned by the voters, Reform UK will be there, under (((the usual))) control to catch the ball.

Only real social nationalism can save the UK and all Europe, but Reform UK, and the Farage-style parties on mainland Europe can, despite their origins and intentions, be a step towards what is necessary, moving the “Overton window” among the people, and that is what matters most.

“The Charity Commission has discovered that Naomi Campbell’s “anti-poverty” charity raised £4.8million but only £389K went to good causes.

I suggest she fills the hole from her personal $ 80million fortune. The commission have now banned her from running a charity for five years as they they found widespread financial misconduct.

Astonished there isn’t a police investigation.

It emerged during the inquiry that the charity paid £9,400 for Campbell to stay three nights in a five-star Cannes hotel where she was appearing in a fashion fundraiser for the charity. Surprise, surprise the charity had chosen its fashion to coincide with the city’s film festival. The stars were aligned! Further, she ran up a bill of £6,000, once again paid by the charity, on spar treatment, room service and even her cigarettes. A new low. Not even paying for her own fags.

Campbell, 54, set up Fashion for Relief in 2005 saying she had been inspired by her “ honourable mentor” Nelson Mandela. Don’t imagine Mandela wants his name linked in that way. The charity was supposed, to provide relief during humanitarian disasters. All it provided was supplying relief when you needed a packet of cigarettes.

Another trustee , a lawyer, was banned for 9 years. He had received £290,000 over two years in unauthorised consultancy fees but picked up an average £26,000 a year in expenses. All this scandal confirms is the reason many don’t contribute to charity.

Naomi Campbell has been up to her neck in all sorts of criminality for years. See, e.g. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/08/11/the-jew-epstein-and-prince-andrew-the-british-royal-family-has-another-scandal-maybe-its-time-to-just-get-rid-of-them/.

The Epstein scandal is but one example.

As for charities, the regulation of them is far too lax, from the political and other activities of the larger charities (and the massive salaries they pay to the few at the top) to the smaller ones, some of which are outright frauds, as with the “Captain Tom” nonsense.

Of course, the egregious online “grifters”, such as “Jack Monroe”, the Jew Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”), the Depher UK fellow, Julia Grace Patterson, Mike Stuchbery, “Supertanskiii” are not, most of them, registered as charities anyway.

An armed camp. Arguably the closest example in modern times to ancient Sparta.

I have to admit, though, that some of those girls wear their automatic weapons (etc) rather stylishly.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: The World Economic Forum is “a billionaires’ boys’ club that’s arranging for the world to shift wealth upward, and to clamp down totalitarian controls on everybody else”. “It’s astonishing to me that these people go to Davos in their private jets, and they’re able to tell these world leaders how to govern us in ways that eradicate our constitutional and civil rights.” Credit: @RobertKennedyJr. @glennbeck.”

…and even were there one, the puny efforts of human beings can do little to change the situation.

I was accused of being a shill again today. It is now 4 years since I started advocating pro bono on Twitter. I have had no salary or pension since. The idea I am conflicted because of financial gain is laughable. I was paid £78 through buy me a coffee until the Royal College of Pathologists put a stop to that. Twitter itself has paid me a total of $1000 Substack subscribers have very kindly donated £4,000 I netted £30,000 from book sales. Most my expert witness help has been pro bono but I have started charging this year resulting in £4000 I also have had a few hundred from the handful of media interviews I charged for. That is it. <£10k per year. I have never worked harder. I can’t begin to tell you what it has all cost me. Nor can I begin to tell you what I have gained.”

The guilty should —and I hope will eventually be— punished. The “Covid” scam dictators, those responsible for mass immigration and migration-invasion, the Zionist element too, and the 2010-to-present “austerity” propagandists, among others.

Ha ha! Then you think, “that is the best that they can come up with as a national leader, representing Haiti in front of the world“. Probably counts as one of their most educated, cultured etc…

If only they, and other Caribbean “states”, and African ones, would have the moral stature to exercise a little humility, and to admit that they need, before anything else, direct rule by white Europeans.

If only, also, white Europe and its overseas offshoots would recognize anew both their manifest destiny and their responsibility to rule and, included in that, their responsibility to protect also the non-European peoples and the world’s wildlife.

Britain in 2024

I happened to see this crime report in a local newspaper: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24606453.robber-disguised-police-officer-raided-wealthy-sandbanks-home/.

“Robber disguised as police officer raided wealthy Sandbanks home.

An armed robber who tied up and threatened to shoot the wife and daughter of a wealthy company director in their Sandbanks home has been jailed for 16 years.

Career criminal Aaron Evans and accomplice Ashley Fulton held Kerry and Emily Aitchison at gunpoint during the terrifying raid on their luxury home overlooking Poole Harbour.

After tying up Mrs Aitchison they threatened to burn Emily, 22, with an iron and then shoot her mother in front of her if she didn’t open the safe.

Brave Mrs Aitchison, 55, called the pair ‘scum of the earth’ and didn’t give them the code.

Evans and Fulton ransacked the £2.5m house before fleeing with more than £200,000 worth of luxury watches, designer handbags, jewellery and cash.

The bungling robbers made a catalogue of errors that led police to their door.”

[Bournemouth Echo]

The full report is worth reading.

What struck me most, apart from the unpleasant violence and the sheer ineptitude of the robbers, was the fact that those robbers, despite not having been able to gain access to the safe, yet escaped with over £200,000 in cash, jewels, and other items.

The report says that the husband of the lady attacked owns, via a company, 21 care homes.

There is something wrong with England, with its economy and society, when someone can own 21 care homes and profit so much that, even in his own home, he and his family have hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and jewels loosely lying around. Plus whatever was or is in that home safe. Plus, no doubt, investments which may well amount to millions.

For me, that is an example of what a Conservative leader (Edward Heath) once called “the unacceptable face of capitalism” (though Heath was referring to a very different kind of company— Lonrho).

On a smaller scale, I once encountered another example of such profiteering.

When I was a barrister based in chambers in Exeter (2002-2008), I appeared fairly frequently, often several days a week, at Exeter County Court which, for silly ideological reasons, was planned and built without any parking available at all. People have either to walk to public car parks or find parking nearby.

I used to park at a nearby hotel, and occasionally talked to the elderly-seeming attendant. It turned out that the parking there was contracted out to the attendant’s son-in-law, who had left the Royal Marines without a penny, and had started one of those vulture clamping outfits, later getting contracts with hotels etc. As I was hearing this, a beautiful blonde drove out in a new Range-Rover. The attendant’s daughter. The wealth and display thereof had been acquired within only 2 years of car parking activity.

Britain used to make things, sell things, and have decent professions like the Bar (now mostly trashed), but not now; these days, rather unpleasant nouveaux riches “coin it” as parasites, rather than useful private enterprise people. Car parking. Care homes. Buy-to-let.

The Conservative Party misgovernment is more or less at an end now. The next battle will soon start, the battle against the overall “woke” nonsense going to be spearheaded by the Labour Party in government: “trans” nonsense, multikulti nonsense, migration-invasion, Israel/Jewish lobbyism and, encompassing all of those and more, the attack on free speech and freedom of expression.

A reminder that, in international affairs, there is sometimes no “good” option but only “bad” or “worse” options. Sometimes the “least worst” option is also the (relative) “best” at that particular time.

In the example, leaving a terrible tyrant like Saddam Hussein in place might be “bad” (arguably) but deposing him, destroying Iraq, and further destabilizing the region, thus also causing millions to flee westward, might be described as “worse” or even “worst”.

That’s now. Ask again in 2025. Ask again in 2026…

Reform UK

So we are asked to believe that two Reform UK GE 2024 candidates have only just discovered, in the latest case two days before the General Election, that they disagree with their Reform UK colleagues or ex-colleagues?

To me this looks like a set-up, maybe co-ordinated, maybe not.

The latest defector is one Georgie David. I wonder what her provenance might be. She does not look very European in the Sky News photo.

If those two candidates really are against the UK being mainly white Northern European etc, how stupid must they be to have joined with Reform UK in the first place? I might add that the pair are, obviously, though in a minor sense, “traitor” types by nature, to defect like that only days before the “off” (to put it in racing terms).

I doubt that the defections will have any effect on the General Election. In fact, I doubt that the barrage of anti-Reform propaganda being put out by the Conservative Party will do more than perhaps dent a little the Reform UK vote. Even if it did, it would not help the Con Party; any Reform-leaning voters in doubt would not vote Con anyway, but more likely abstain.

Likewise, I happened to be in Qatar for a few days in early 2001. On leaving from the old (now replaced) Doha Airport, I was just being driven to the steps of my plane in a limousine when I noticed that Air Force Two (with Colin Powell on board, as I later discovered, though probably not aboard at that exact moment), was parked right next to it. In retrospect, part of the diplomatic build-up to the invasion of Iraq which occurred 2 years later.

There are always small events, and there is always chatter, before larger events occur. One reason why it is so suspicious that the Israelis claim that the events near Gaza in early October 2023 came as a complete surprise to them.

The old adage about how investigators should “always follow the money” applies a fortiori to the egregious Lewis.

More or less where my educated guess of several months ago ended up, though lighter on SNP seats and heavier on LibDem seats.

The only two where the range is relatively unimportant are Labour, which is (however unmeritoriously) on track for a massive win, it seems, and the LibDems, who seem likely to do modestly well or quite well purely by default, by being the “dustbin” or “tactical vote” choice.

All the rest? Either getting a bloc of significance, or almost nothing. Even the Con result will be very different on 34 MPs (a near wipeout) compared to 99 MPs (very poor but still just about in the game).

Even in a country such as the USA, with a population of over 340M, figures like that naturally give rise to concern (as does the fact that the tweeter Ali Bradley seems to be ignorant of what the word “majority” means…American education…).

Trump seems to be in a good position to be elected. If he is, Zelensky’s ricebowl will be taken away, and that will seal the fate of the Kiev regime.

To Israel: You can’t say “never again” while committing a literal genocide. You can’t bring up the Holocaust while detaining Palestinians, including children, in concentration camps. You can’t say you’re the victim while you’re bombing every hospital, bakery, journalist, and child in sight. You can’t say “self defense” while your kids are writing their names on rockets being blasted towards other kids whom you turned into orphans. You can’t say you’re protecting anyone while killing them.

Hard to believe, but there it is…

What is next?

Reminded me of Soylent Green [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green].

A serious government would have looked at Brexit and recognised the necessity for economic and social reform. The first lesson should have been that mass immigration cannot be a substitute for skills training, and that open borders is not a sustainable answer to labour shortages.

Subsequently, it should have examined the reasons business relies on immigrant labour and modified policy accordingly – up to and including far reaching welfare reform. It should have also taken steps to reform the ponzi scheme that is higher education, ideally dismantling second rate universities in favour of vocational training with a view to improving labour market fluidity.

It should have initiated an immediate energy policy review, dismantling the EU regulatory systems that push up the price of energy.

It should have prioritised nuclear over renewable energy. It should have looked at streamlining energy planning and procurement regulation.

It should have initiated a complete review of food and agriculture policy with a view to improving food security and reducing food miles, cultivating local supply chains, and revising trade policy accordingly.

It should have initiated a complete review of foreign aid, trade and foreign policy in line with clearly defined national priorities.

But our politicians didn’t want any of that. They liked having their thinking done for them. They didn’t see any reason for change and everything they’ve done since has been to prevent meaningful change. Sclerotic mediocrity is how they like it and it’s the best we can hope for.

That is why the Tory party is dying. They were handed a massive majority and a mandate for change and they did precisely nothing with it. They wasted our votes and our time. They squandered every opportunity and walked away from every fight. Instead of taking the cue for radical change, they doubled down on all the worst aspects of centrist consensus politics on everything from immigration to energy, in lockstep with the EU as though we never voted to leave.

Immigration is now out of control, rents have skyrocketed, energy prices are insane, university degrees are next to worthless, and now they’re inflicting heat pumps and EVs on us when nobody can afford either, nobody even wants them, and we don’t have the electricity to power them.

Now we find ourselves with nobody worth voting for, and a decrepit opposition party set to inherit power by accident of numbers, and virtually nobody thinks it will be an improvement.

There is no means by which we can arrest the decline – while the media gaslights us by telling us this is the most right wing government in history.

Not only does the Tory party deserve to die, it is a necessary precursor to any kind of British renaissance. The conservative party only wishes to conserve a stagnant status quo even if it drags us into the dark ages.

We are condemned to drab, anti-patriotic technocratic managerialism and a zombie establishment that has long since abdicated from its obligation to govern. They are rotten, debased, corrupt and ineffectual in everything they do.

Every iteration of it is like a bad Hollywood sequel – a jaded repeat bereft of ideas and energy, oblivious to its own creative death spiral.

The cancer has now spread to all of the state’s vital organs, and the patient is now on life support. Nothing short of a medical miracle can revive it from its persistant vegetative state. The only merciful thing to do is to let it die.”

I agree with pretty much all of that analysis.

Quite. I hate and despise the misnamed Conservative Party, but also despise and hate the equally-misnamed Labour Party. Other misnamed parties? The “Scottish National Party” (currently run by a Pakistani) and the “Liberal Democrats”.

…and if you say anything about all that, at least in the UK, some malicious Jew-Zionist volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy and Government (eg the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) will suborn or corrupt the police and the prosecution service in order to bring down upon you the weight of the criminal law (while, in the real world, real crime explodes).

Obviously. Even at present, 75%+ of the invaders are given leave to remain. That’s 75% or 80% of the actual small boat invaders; the “legal” ones are all allowed to stay for the period of their visa, but many who stay beyond that are also, one way or another, allowed to stay in the end.

Overall, something like 95% of the various types of migrant invader are —eventually— allowed to stay indefinitely. As a nation and possibly, later, as a state, the UK faces ruin.

In Africa and Asia live hundreds of millions who would like to come here. Yes, in time that will reduce the UK to a “third world” level, but they cannot see that. All they see is a country still hugely better than their own. They want what we have, or they think we have. Even if our living standards continue to slide, for the black/brown invaders that is irrelevant. They are used to much worse conditions.

Therefore, the migration invasion will continue until our society collapses into chaos and/or civil war. When? Maybe as early as 2030, maybe a little later. By 2050, for sure, as things are going. Thank God I shall probably not be here to see it face to face.

I wonder how much of that will find its way to the Ukrainian people at ground level? Rhetorical question. Not much (if any).

“Former Israeli Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said that Israel has lost the war against Hamas and Netanyahu must be overthrown. According to him, the real losses of the army are hidden, and for almost two months of ground operations there are virtually no strategic or even tactical victories in the Gaza Strip.

It would be a mistake to assume that all Jews, even all Israelis, are behind the continuing devastation in Gaza. My own guess is that most would have been satisfied by a week or so of targeted, albeit bloody, attacks in retaliation for the stunning surprise attack by Hamas forces in southern Israel in October.

There was a film, several years ago, interviewing former chiefs of Israeli intelligence and security; they were far less gung-ho than Netanyahu and his clique, or the malicious and unpleasant Jew-Zionists one sees or hears of in places such as London, Leeds, New York etc.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/02/02/the-jews-i-met-at-an-oasis/.

By the by, I keep wondering whether the Israeli Government, like F.D. Roosevelt before Pearl Harbor, knew of the October attack by Hamas before it happened, but let it go ahead in order to have to popular support —initially— for what is now happening in —in the Israeli case— Gaza, which amounts to an attempt to occupy Gaza and drive out its 2M inhabitants.

That may read like “conspiracy theory”, but so many of such theories turn out to be just true in the end. Why did it take Israeli forces several hours, in some cases 12 hours, to deploy to the site of the October attack? Israel is small. Tel Aviv is only 44 miles from the border of Gaza, and maybe 60 miles from the site of the Hamas attack in October.

When I was a practising barrister based in Exeter, in SW England (2002-2008), I lived in a country house about 4 miles north of Launceston (Cornwall) and almost exactly 45 miles west from my Exeter chambers. Same distance as Tel Aviv to Gaza. One day, I made the journey, door to door, in only 35 mins. I am sure that the supposedly elite Israeli forces can deploy in at least similar time (by road or helicopter), if they are so ordered. So why did they apparently take many hours in October?

A day or two ago, I caught a few minutes of a political quiz on Sky News. Radio politico Nick Ferrari, some black woman (I think Dawn Butler), useless half-Jew former MP and now (absurdly) member of the House of Lords, Ed Vaizey, and “British” Indian pseudo-Communist, Ash Sarkar. All wearing silly Christmas hats for the occasion.

What struck me (again) is that the System TV would never have a social-national person on such a show, but there is political bad joke, Ash Sarkar, sitting there happily alongside Ed Vaizey, despite having commended not only socialism but Communism on air many times. She was obviously loving being part of the System mass media in-club…

Only social-national people and policies can now save Europe. The System easily suborns and buys the Ash Sarkar type. Paid TV appearances, even alongside the so-called “class enemy”, articles in newspapers, social media profile (and income). Pseudo-radical careerists and profiteers.

Owen Jones similarly. These are play-“revolutionaries”, play-radicals, and almost ludicrously-easily manipulated by the System.
