Talking point

Zoe Gardner, who has been pushing the pro-migration-invasion line for years, and making a living out of it, lives in a leafy area far from most of the negative effects of the swamping of Britain, Ireland (and much of Central and Western mainland Europe) by untermenschen from the most backward parts of the planet.

An enemy of the future of the British people.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan conspiracy. The Zoe Gardner type are just minor players put forward for the TV cameras etc; the monkeys, not the organ-grinders, if you like.

…and before the potholed roads, sort out the migration invasion (if you can, which I very much doubt)…

I see very little of interest in Danny Kruger [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Kruger], a typical silver-spoon “Cameroon”, but his defection to Reform is another sign that the Conservatives are washed-up. The fact that Kruger was, until today, a Con Party MP with a fairly sizeable majority— that alone.

The danger for Reform is appearing too much like some offshoot of the Con Party. It does not really need Con Party MPs, but they, in most cases, do need Reform, because their seats are on the line.

Mark Lewis should have been struck off the solicitors’ roll years ago. Incompetent, negligent, and thoroughly dishonest.

You can find a great deal more by using the search box on the blog.

…as I noted on the blog 3 years ago…

True, though Dan Hodges should learn to spell (it’s “misled“, not “mislead“).

See my blog posts of previous recent days:

This latest cretin is, according to that Daily Mail report, “the best brain in the Labour Party“. Is comment really necessary?

Shows what a cultureless stupid lot most MPs and other Westminster drones are. I myself had not even heard of that game until today, and was the better for it.

Incidentally, that Greek woman should go to spelling classes alongside Dan Hodges (it’s “played“, not “plaid“, the latter being a form of Scottish cloth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartan).

(OK, she is Greek, but if you write about British politics for a British audience, I do expect you to write in correct English).

I see Starmer’s (real) problem, which has little to do with whether some Tommy Robinson bottle throwers think he is protecting a gay manipulator himself friendly with a “paedophile” American Jew.

It has more to do with the wish by Starmer-stein not to expose to public view the intelligence operations of Israel and the connected UK/US Jew-Zionist lobby. Jewish/Israeli secret and political intelligence runs through this whole Epstein thing like Brighton rock.

Starmer runs not a Labour government, as such, but a Labour Friends of Israel government.

Raise the banners!

Both (Jewish) kosher and (Muslim) halal slaughter should be banned in the UK and throughout Europe. Backward habits of backward populations.

Speaking personally, I do not eat meat anyway, but this is a matter of general public concern.

It is otiose to speculate as to whether Starmer-stein is “worse” than Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, Theresa May, or Cameron-Levita. All idiots, all puppets of the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby and “NWO/ZOG”, none truly fit for high office. Starmer, though, is there now, and should not be.

[“Labour MPs panicking about Reform is rather amusing. What on earth did you think would happen when you refused to fix the borders, put mass migration on steroids, dumped unvetted migrants in our communities, refused a rape gang inquiry, sold out British workers to India and British fishermen to the EU, derided people as “far-right”, gave our territory to our enemies, and fast-tracked a dodgy definition of ‘Islamophobia’? Did you think people would not do anything?“]

Interesting. Brits do not, most of them and most of the time, turn up to political meetings. That they now start to do so betokens a big change in society. They turn up because they know things have to be done, and done fairly soon.

Damn. Political journalist John Rentoul beat me this week, the first time that has happened for months, maybe even years. He scored 7/10, but I scored one less, 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 3, 6, and 10.

There is a constant attempt in the msm to downplay immigration as a social and political issue, as if it is some kind of side-issue or non-issue. Far from it. It impacts every other social and political issue, from housing and water supply to policing, law and order, educational standards, transport, pay, State benefits (including pensions)— you name it.

Indeed, the System still tries to pretend that immigration is beneficial, both socially and economically, despite the enormous weight of evidence to the contrary. The level of deception and, on the part of the System drones themselves, self-deception, is almost incredible.

So we in the UK still have “compulsory blacks” in pretty much every TV drama, “soap”, TV ad, panel discussion etc. “Blacks with Everything”, to adapt the name of the well-known play by Arnold Wesker. I wrote about it some 6 years ago on the blog. That despite the fact that actual blacks (Africans, West Indians/Afro-Caribbean) make up “only” about 5% or 6% of the whole UK population.

The propaganda is not aimed, primarily, at persons of my age (68) or indeed those in their 50s, 40s, or even 30s, but at “the young” and, especially, at children whose critical faculties are relatively or completely undeveloped.

The aim of that sort of propaganda is to normalize both the multikulti society and, even more so, inter-racial relationships, resulting in mixed-race children and, ultimately, in an entirely mixed-race society (except at the top level), as provided for by the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and, at least impliedly, by the Protocols of Zion:

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

A lot of fuss (whichever side you are on) over one runway at one major airport. Meanwhile, the fake “green” agenda has shut down much-needed power stations, damaged the automotive industry, interferes in various ways in the lives of tens of millions of British people, and for what? Really, for what?

In the words of Fleet Street in the past, “you read it here first!”. This blog predicted that Starmer and his cabal, once in government, would [pretend to] “solve” the “small boats” invasion by simply approving, whether in France or elsewhere, the asylum applications of 95% of the invaders. Likewise the problems of accommodating the invaders in the UK.

The migrant-invaders are, increasingly, being given accommodation across the country in council houses, other social housing, and B%B accommodation paid for by local councils (local people, in other words) and by taxpayers generally. They are, thus, less visible than when all concentrated in hotels. They simply become part of “the UK’s housing crisis” almost all of which is, in reality, an immigration crisis.

Few young Ukrainians will volunteer. The press-gangs will then try to force recruitment, as with older age groups.

The Kiev regime is now very obviously faltering. Unless Zelensky scuttles to the USA or Israel, he is doomed.

“Mark Lewis Lawyer” and James Wilson

Refers to Wilson’s successful libel action against Jews called Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased and, I think, only part-Jew) and Cantor, in which various Jews, including sacked part-time judge Simon Myerson of Leeds, gave evidence which the trial judge did not believe, and/or to which he gave no weight at all.

Lewis should be hauled before the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority and a Disciplinary Tribunal (again).

Very true. Apart from which, and despite the flaws adherent to all empires, the British Empire was great and, overall, or on the whole, something positive.

You only have to look at any TV quiz show, such as The Chase, Mastermind, or even University Challenge, to see that most English/British people have no real sense of their own history.

For many, it comes down to a few simple or cartoon views of a mere handful of periods such as Industrial Revolution, Victorian era, Henry VIII/Elizabeth I/Spanish Armada, maybe the English Civil War, and of course WW2 (largely, the Battle of Britain air war) with a few other individuals and events standing out as historical stalagmites, and usually thought of as isolated cameos, akin to the Swiss legend of Wilhelm Tell having to shoot an apple off the head of his son.

Robin Hood, William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings, Drake, maybe Waterloo, and Churchill (as indomitable hero leader, not as the warmonger and hopeless strategist who destroyed —thanks to US and Soviet alliances— not only the German Reich, but his own British Empire and those of all other European powers.

No wonder that so many silly people, if asked their views of the current migration-invasion, reply along the lines of “we have always had immigration— Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Huguenots...” etc, as if the invasion of this country by non-Europeans, in the millions, indeed the tens of millions, is effectively the same!

I have occasionally wondered what motivates idiots such as Socialist Worker Party demonstrators. Time after time (over the past 50+ years— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)), the said idiots turn up in the cold rain, wave their placards, shout slogans or insults, and achieve exactly nothing. For half a century. According to Wikipedia, there are about 2,500 paid up members, but the average turnout seems to be about a dozen.

Still, to expect reason from the unreasonable is itself unreasonable.

The SWP was established, like its predecessor orgs, by a Jew called Gluckstein, who took on the protective camouflage of a British-sounding name— “Tony Cliff” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Cliff].

Quite a few MPs need to be put up against a [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. As in all repressive societies, readers learn to read between the lines. We in the UK never had to do that in the past, not for the past 200 years, anyway.

Thus proving that about a third of the population are non-European and/or irredeemably stupid and/or outright enemies of the British people and a decent future for them.

If a third of the UK’s inhabitants were to disappear, the remaining two-thirds (if British/European) could have a decent life…

Brutal numbers for Kemi Badenoch in the polls tonight … Net approval: MINUS 15 Brave? MINUS 2 Decisive? MINUS 2 Competent? MINUS 2 Strong leader? MINUS 9 Gets things done? MINUS 10 Stands up for Britain? MINUS 7 Likeable? MINUS 10 Trustworthy? MINUS 13 Says what ppl think? MINUS 17 Looks like a PM? MINUS 22 In touch with ppl? MINUS 19 Shares my views? MINUS 19.”

Carpetbagger Kemi should scuttle back to the USA or Nigeria.

Acc. to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would translate into Labour 300 seats, Cons 119, Reform 113, LibDems 71 (Greens 4, SNP 12 etc). So a Labour minority government propped up by SNP/LibDem/PC votes.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

Still, with such a split, a point or two can make all the difference. One point less for Labour, one point more for Reform, and the picture looks very different: Lab 260, Reform 157, Cons 109, LibDems 71. The result would be a weaker Lab minority govt. even more reliant on LibDem (etc) support. Also, Reform rather than Cons as official Opposition.

Only 22% of Brits say they approve of Keir Starmer. Look at this chart. Opinium tonight.”

22%. About the same proportion of all eligible voters that voted Labour last year: in rough terms, 4 out of every 20 eligible to vote. (Cons 3 out of 20, Reform 2 out of every 20, LibDems 2 out of 20, Greens 1 out of 20; “non-voting”—8 out of every 20).

Late music

Diary Blog, 18 October 2024, including a few thoughts about IQ and related topics

Morning music

[“Eighteen Years“]

Talking point

I happened to see on TV an elderly, over-90 years, but very compos mentis, retired professor, talking to the TV chef Rick Stein about the decline in average IQ since 1950, as apparently noted in a study done by, or under the auspices of, Bradford University. The professor cited as a (or even the) causative reason the decline of consumption of fish and shellfish in the UK over the past 74 years.

That may be part of it. Certainly some types of fish popular with the mass market have become expensive; even standard British favourites such as cod and haddock. I bought some fish and chips recently: 1 large cod, 1 large haddock, 1 small bag of chips. £20.50.

Whether you think that £20.50 for a smallish bag of chips and 2 large pieces of fish is expensive or not will depend on your general financial level, but it is at least certainly more than most citizens will want to pay out on a daily basis.

Some fish in the UK is not, however, expensive, however poor you are. Mackerel, for one, which can be bought (uncooked) in a supermarket for as little as a pound or so for a good-size fillet.

I recall that, when I lived in Fethiye (Turkey) for a few months in 2001 (I drove there from the UK, a trip that was more difficult then than it now is), I went to the fish market in the town almost daily, about 4-5 times a week. The hierarchy of price descended from the most expensive, which were huge langoustines, or tuna steak and swordfish (cut from massive whole tuna and swordfish, some 5 or 6 feet or more long and 1-2 feet wide), through many other types of fish and shellfish and down to tiny fish, presumably by-catch, which cost only about 5% or even 2% of the most expensive. There is always a decision to be made by the individual on what is affordable or not.

[the fish market, Fethiye, Turkey. The many restaurant tables and chairs were not there when I used to patronise the market (neither was that sign in English) but, at that time, in 2001, the fish market was new, having been built or rebuilt and possibly having also been relocated from a different place. That was 23 years ago. How time flies when you are older…]
[Fethiye, Turkey; the marina part of the harbour area]
[Fethiye, Turkey. The best part of town, by the marina]

IQ in a general population is obviously affected by diet, but is also a function of other factors. The UK’s average IQ level has been badly affected by, inter alia, the mass immigration that has been such a feature of the past 75 years.

Importation of non-European peoples into the UK has had many negative consequences. A lower average IQ is merely one.

One sees evidence of decline in IQ and/or educational levels everywhere. One example might be secondary school exam papers. When I was studying, belatedly, in my mid-twenties, for “A” Levels (and an “S” level) in 1983, studying alone and without tuition, I sent off for papers from a number of previous years, from the 1950s and 1960s right up to 1982. Even in 1983, one could see that the level of difficulty had steadily declined over the previous 30 years.

Since the 1980s, of course, there has been massive award inflation. Not only at secondary educational level but also at tertiary (university) level. Hardly anyone actually fails a university degree now, unless the student drops out. The kind of average degree, normal only 30 or more years ago, a 2:2 (as earned by Tony Blair, among others), is now not even considered a reasonably “good” degree. The real standard has not improved, but dropped, while presented as something wonderful.

Not that IQ (and knowledge) mean everything, anyway. “EQ” (“emotional intelligence”) is also important: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence.

As for myself, long ago, in the 1980s, my IQ was tested at 156 (UK average being 100, and university students typically testing at 125), certainly in the top 1% of the population, but that was in the mid-1980s, when I was about 30, and it may well be (I do not know) that I would test lower today. By way of compensation, though, I think that I can say that experience, and other infusions from the stream of Life, make up the difference, and perhaps more.

We often hear that “things do not work properly any more in our society”, and that may become a greater problem as average IQ drops ever lower.

Our society should be travelling, by design, in the other direction.

“Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer is a very nasty little man, a typical bureaucrat given power and unable to handle it.

[“Off with their heads!“]

Do not imagine that words alone will sort out this whole mess.

It is time to stop thinking of MPs, not all but many of them, as merely “mistaken” or “wrongheaded“, and to awaken to the fact that some, perhaps many of them, are —in a word, in lay meaning— “traitors” to the British people and their future. Not necessarily the above MP, though; I am talking generally.

Whatever one may think of “Tommy Robinson”, he has a point, nicht wahr?

This decision by the SRA about Lewis’ negligent advice is just awful. Mark Lewis told Pete Newbon that the defamatory publication did not identify me. It was startlingly incompetent advice because the publication contained a clear photo of me and Tolley v Fry (possibly the most famous defamation case) says a claimant can be identified by a photo or sketch. The SRA’s own Code of Conduct says solicitors must “ensure that the service you provide to clients is competent…” So contrary to what the SRA says, incompetent advice is a regulatory matter. And the SRA’s strategy for dealing with Lewis’ incompetent advice is for Newbon to bring a negligence claim or complain to the ombudsman. Obviously, Newbon will not do either of those things. It scares me that the SRA – faced with a solicitor who appears not to grasp the absolute basics of the area of law he works in – won’t take action to protect the public from incompetent advice. Surely it is the SRA’s job to identify and deal with solicitors who give incompetent advice?@sra_solicitors @lawsocgazette.

[James Wilson, successful claimant in the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor, and Newbon (deceased)]. ]

Mark Lewis, as previously noted, is a self-publicizing and —by the “occupied” UK msm— hugely overrated solicitor who should have been struck off (not merely reprimanded and fined, as he was) for some of his previous professional (meaning unprofessional) defaults. He is, and has been repeatedly proven to be, dishonest, untruthful, and professionally negligent.

Only a complete idiot would now instruct “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.

What is protecting Lewis, in my view, is the fact that the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority was screeched at in 2019 by the organized Jew-Zionist lobby, after the SRA fined and reprimanded Lewis, after which he performatively decamped to Israel (but then slunk back quite often to the UK to make money). The SRA may be running a little scared of “the screechers” (((them))).

Meanwhile, ever more migrant-invaders are being sheltered, fed, given medical and dental services (etc) and pocket money by the UK state (i.e. British taxpayers).

Meanwhile, billions of pounds are being spent on military aid to Israel, a state which hates, despises, and exploits us; millions more are wasted on “security” for the Jewish “community” in the UK, including tens of millions thrown to the Jewish “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], the strongarm and snoop organization founded by a Jewish exploiter and fraudster.

Meanwhile, billions of pounds each year have been wasted, continue to be wasted, and are now pledged by Starmer to continue into the future, sent to the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev.

The whole idea of the UN Security Council is that it consists only of the largest and most significant states which have real military power; states which are large geopolitical players and which, in practice, are also nuclear powers: USA, UK, France, Russia, China. All hold the power of veto.

There are also 10 non-permanent members on a rotating basis: https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/content/current-members; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council.

As usual, Starmer tries to play the statesman, rather than the grubby little careerist bureaucrat that he is. He is entirely unconvincing. There he goes, interfering in completely irrelevant and pointless matters overseas, when his own country is close to crisis.

For Starmer, the one-time criminal lawyer, what matters is fiddling around with rules and regulations, rather than trying to achieve concrete socio-political results in the real world.

The entire country, pretty much, has already come to the conclusion that Starmer is in the wrong job.

In any case, how does Starmer intend to “push for” reform of the UN Security Council when all 5 permanent members have a veto, and when, even if that could be overcome somehow, the Security Council would become a dead letter, were the USA to withdraw completely? In fact, in that circumstance, the UN itself would become a dead letter, and might as well just close down.

The military-destructive power of the USA is such that, without American agreement, most Security Council resolutions would be otiose, as would be, a fortiori, any resolutions actively opposed by the USA.

Starmer is a total waste of space.

Am I stopping you from leaving? You are free to go or stay.

I’m gonna say for the record that every politician, every pastor, every Christian, every single person who supports Israel at this point – especially after yesterday’s horrifying mass firebombing of hospital patients in tents – is truly an evil, wicked person who has abandoned any last shred of humanity.

Israel is now clearly the No. 1 most wicked and evil nation in the world today.

It’s sad that of the political candidates in this race (that I know of), only Dr. Shiva and Jill Stein dare to even oppose Israel. Everybody else who’s in the running remains COMPLICIT in supporting, endorsing or even funding Israel’s ongoing genocide and modern-day holocaust against humanity. That includes Trump, Kamala, RFK Jr., Walz and all of them. Not one of them will criticize Israel’s war crimes. And in this, they FAIL the most important test of leadership: Your humanity.

If you can’t call out such obvious evil and Israel’s reckless, repeated violations of international law, you are not qualified to lead any nation, much less this nation.

Not only an “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by 4 voters out of every 20 eligible) but a totally useless one as well.

Broadly correct, though that has only really taken effect, or taken effect fully, since 1989. A new cycle, adding to that 33-year cycle, began in 2022. Look at the Israeli flag being projected in lights onto 10 Downing Street, the skyscrapers of New York City, the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (etc).

These things are all connected. The 2020-2022 “Covid” “panicdemic” or “scamdemic” as well.

Alarming. More than alarming, in fact. Dystopia is about to come roaring out of the tunnel at us.

Yes, that is one extraordinary aspect of the whole mess. The Kiev regime is presently conscripting only those aged 27+ (in theory, younger men —and women— can volunteer, though few now do). The result is that the Kiev-regime forces are full of the middle-aged, while those approaching the age of 27 desperately try to flee the country, or hide inside Ukraine, or buy fake exemption papers, or bribe doctors etc.

I can only assume that the Zelensky cabal has decided that the under-27s have to be exempted on the grounds that the Ukrainians are actually dying out, and more babies have to be born. Demographically, Ukraine has no future, even when compared to Russia, or to the countries of Central and Western Europe.

Having said that, it seems that younger men are being press-ganged, illegally. Zelensky’s “Ukraine” is both brutal and shambolic.

All requests made by Vladimir Zelensky during his visit to Europe were rejected , said British expert Alexander Mercuris.”

Zelensky returned from a very unsuccessful trip to Europe. Biden canceled the meeting in Ramstein, there are more and more media reports that the meeting will not happen at all.

In any case, all doors are slammed in his face. Western allies did not give him the green light light to use long-range missiles to strike deep into Russia, and he also failed to ensure Ukraine’s accelerated path to NATO ,” he added.

Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.

They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.

I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”

That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.

Again, look at the “usual suspects”…

The “fake history” of the 1970s

That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

Who that Labour ministerial drone is, I do not know. He’s talking absolute shite.

Thangam “Debbonaire” (real/original name is/was “Singh”), is expressing exactly what I predicted “Labour”-label would do, i.e. “stop the boats” by simply rubberstamping 95% of applicants for “asylum”, and allowing the invaders to enter “legally” via air, train, or ferry; thus not solving at all the actual problem of the swamping of the UK by migration-invasion, but keeping it off the TV screens, off Twitter/X, out of the newspapers etc.

It’s true. That weird individual’s name is Pitcavage, a Jew-Zionist who has made a kind of career as a supposed “expert” on “terrorism and extremism” with the very well financed Jew-Zionist snoop and anti-free-speech group, the “ADL”, in the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pitcavage.

Incidentally, one notes that that individual’s Jewish and Zionist origins are not mentioned on Wikipedia, which is often vandalized by Jewish/Zionist/Israeli groups such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK (the “CAA” even advertised openly for supporters with Wikipedia accounts to collaborate with them in “editing” some Wikipedia topics).

The Guardian cannot bring itself to face the truth. Likewise, the same scribblers published a long appraisal of the new Attorney-General a month ago, but only mentioned in passing the fact that he is not only a Jew but from a heavily Zionist background, and apparently, in the past, advised the “antifascist” Searchlight magazine Jews, not as a lawyer but when he was a student.

The point is that the UK is a failing society, overall.

Part of that is caused by the ever-lessening white European proportion of the population, and the ever-increasing non-white part of the population.

Connected with all that are falling standards in all areas: (real) education, administration, the justice system, the police, the NHS, the political system; and of course added to that the unjust and actually ridiculous First Past The Post voting system, as a result of which we now have a Labour Friends of Israel “elected” dictatorship of very little, very petty, people.

A “Labour”-label dictatorship “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and by only 4 out of every 12 voters who actually voted. A government without legitimacy, without a popular mandate.

I recall mainly his talk with the then Prime Minister’s daughter, a rather attractive young lady who had been at an expensive school (Rugby) in England for several years (followed by 3 years at the LSE). That daughter had married an English tattooed heavy metal band leader and biker from somewhere “up North” (Leeds, I think); he died at the early age of 50, but the couple had already divorced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenia_Tymoshenko.

Nice to know that people care.

Imagine a city of between 500,000 and 1,500,000 in the UK, somewhere such as Birmingham (nearly 1M population), Liverpool (nearly 900,000 population), Nottingham (730,000), Sheffield (635,000), Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Leicester, and others.

Well, each of those cities have a roughly equivalent population to the influx into the UK of mostly non-Europeans every year. Many have smaller populations.

Only a lunatic, or someone completely brainwashed by System multikulti propaganda, could think that such a situation is in any way sustainable in a country the size of the UK. Housing, pay, State benefits (including pensions), rail, roads, education, public order, even water supply.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/cities/united-kingdom.

This is our economic model:

1) Spend more on “public services” – aka make way for more Night Czars and people who will spend your money on rainbow kayaking/ drag queen life drawing classes (real life examples of council spending).

2) Do nothing about factors increasing demand on services – eg migration (legal and illegal) – while building nothing and rarely expanding infrastructure. Then act surprised when prices increase (“rent controls now!”), as well as demonising anyone who points out that migration is a form of demand. They must be a bigot, after all, for worrying about the UK spending approximately £10 billion a year on accommodation for asylum seekers – paired with runaway demand. Rich people can pay for it, or something; anyway, doesn’t demand just vanish into thin air?!

3) Allow eco loons to impose anti-car measures on some of the most economically productive and in-demand workers; eg plumbers, builders and others with practical skills who need a car for their job. Ensure that they lose jobs from sitting in traffic and are subject to punitive measures for not being able to cycle a new bath tab to a client. Add red tape as much as possible to everything. Get a small business to prove its commitment to environment and diversity before it’s actually broken-even.

4) Hire for every state sector job through the primary prism of immutable characteristics.

5) Ignore what jobs are in demand – eg. practical/ technology – and continue sending droves of young people to university to do subjects that bear no relation to what skills employers need. Remember, young people should be able to “follow their dreams” – all of them! – and anyone who says don’t do a degree in decolonising dinosaurs is anti working-class. Besides, if Brits won’t do jobs, we’ll just hire from abroad, so that demand for housing can increase, and with it rental costs – which young people will then blame landlords/ lack of rent controls for.

And voila = growth!

I agree with pretty much all of that.

Most people “think” via their feeling, i.e. via emotion, or via undisciplined will. They want to believe, so they do believe. Someone of the Zoe Gardner (near) “open borders” type is a typical example.

Most MPs now are enemies of the people. All of the present Cabinet are enemies of the people.

People like Amy Lamé (a crazed American lesbian appointed —God knows why— as London “Nightlife Tsar” or something similar) are just a waste of space. She should be sacked and made to dig turnips, plant trees, or the like.

Incidentally, I seem to recall she tweeted unpleasantly to me about 8 years ago, when I still had a Twitter account.

“Public services” I support wholeheartedly, if they are useful. I am talking about (proper) police, fire brigades, public health workers (real ones, not “Covid crazies”), parks and park wardens, litter sweepers, public swimming pools, water supplies etc.

In 2024, Amy Lamé was awarded her fourth pay rise a few days after the 2024 London Mayor Election, in which her pay for her 3 days a week role was increased to £132,846.[27]

Her role and the ability for the London Assembly to hold her to account has been a source of confusion, given that she is classed as a GLA member of staff[28] and therefore cannot be scrutinised by the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives or the Greens in the London Assembly.”

Banana Boat

I first saw this amusing short documentary on American public TV in 1991 or 1992 (it was released in 1991). About a group of passengers on one of the Geest “banana boats” that (I think still) take cars and other items out from the UK to the West Indies, and then return with millions of bananas.

Such ships carry passengers because the income is a welcome extra, but they cannot carry more than (I think) 12, because any greater number would require the ship to have a doctor on board.

A very good film, and nicely presented by one Nigel Farrell, who —I just now see— must have been 37 or 38 at the time, and who (I have just read) died in 2011, 20 years after the film was made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farrell.

Morning thought

So the Israelis have now killed over 40,000 people in Gaza, the vast majority non-combatants, and the majority of them women and children (or at least juveniles under 18).

According to the Israeli authorities themselves, the Jewish/Israeli death toll in Southern Israel arising from the attack by Hamas operatives on 7 October 2023 was just over 1,100, of which about a third were Israeli soldiers, police, and operatives of the Shin Beth security organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israel#Revision_of_casualty_numbers

So, Israeli death toll on 7 October 2023— about 1,180.

Palestinian Arab death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to date— over 40,000.

40x the number…

Also, the Israelis have made Gaza all but uninhabitable.

The question arises: at what point will the “Israelis” consider that they have received sufficient “payback”?

Britain is now infested by these fake “think tanks”, “institutes”, fake “charities” etc, staffed and headed by useless persons (often, though not always, non-European), and subsidized (often, not always) out of public funds. A kind of propaganda industry dedicated to the subversion of our race, culture, and civilization.

You often find that MPs who are chucked out after having lost elections, and especially those who belong to “Friends of Israel” groups, are found well-paid jobs either heading such fake think-tanks etc, or similar “jobs” with various commercial regulatory bodies.

The Jews in Israel/Palestine will not be content (and in fact not even then) until they “own”, by conquest or trickery or terrorist gangsterism, all of the land in the country. Many of those Jew “settlers” (terrorists) are not even of “Israeli” origin, but have recently arrived from the USA, Australia, the UK, France etc.

Harold Wilson

Happened to see this recently-republished 2016 Guardian reminiscence of Harold Wilson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson] and the Isles of Scilly:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/27/scilly-harold-wilson-prime-minister

Harold Wilson was (in the 1960s; he returned for a couple of years in the 1970s) Prime Minister at a time of transition, when Britain still had (more) remnants of our once-vast Empire, and when it still stood up sometimes to the demands of our supposed “ally” across the Atlantic. Wilson refused to join the USA in the Vietnam War, though Australia and New Zealand did, considering themselves bound by their SEATO membership [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization]. The UK, though, was also a SEATO member, as were other states.

Domestically, the UK still had so many possibilities (in the 1960s as well as the 1970s), partly because mass immigration had scarcely started, as compared to 2024 (you rarely, almost never, saw black, brown, or other non-European persons). The very few (literally one or two, except at Oxford University) seen by me in the 1960s in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, where I lived, were occasional people such as NHS consultants.

I should know what the UK was like back then: I was born in 1956.

In the 1960s, there were many modernizing developments in the UK (for good or ill, sometimes for good) such as the Open University, the first motorways (M1, M4), Concorde etc. Also, after 20 years, Britain was just starting to pull away strongly from the restricted post-WW2 atmosphere that had hung over the country since the Pyrrhic victory of 1945.

As for Wilson himself, I encountered him when I was 9, or maybe just 10, in 1966 (my birthday being in early September). I was for some reason determined to meet him and, knowing that he was on the island, stalked a few people who looked, to my mind, a bit like him until I found my quarry on the quay at Hugh Town, St. Mary’s, accompanied by his sole bodyguard, a slim “British officer” type with a pencil moustache, his pistol and holster hidden under a cricket jumper tied around his waist, only the thin brown gun belt over the shoulder giving it away.

[the 9-10 year-old Millard, at left, with younger brothers and Harold Wilson, in 1966]

Wilson has been much-criticized over the years, but had some good qualities, not only personally but politically. He was unlucky inasmuch as the trade unions were all-powerful at the time, and because Britain was still, psychologically, fighting the Second World War.

Darren Grimes and all those other “alt-right” talking heads and scribblers must have also missed the imprisonment of Alison Chabloz for having posted a few satirical songs and cartoons.

Completely useless, and in fact negative, a millstone round the neck of our present society, let alone any more advanced version. Not needed, not wanted.

I have seen examples of that attitude in London (including, but not only, on trains) since the early 1980s.

Those without respect for society, or for (real) British people, may at least be controlled, and their behaviour contained, via fear.

I very much dislike Douglas Murray’s pro-Israelism and pro-Jewish/Zionist-lobby stances, but he is surely on the right track here, leaving aside his wrongful negativity towards National Socialism.

Quite.

Incidentally, the only reason there are any cases at all of “mpox” (monkeypox) in Sweden and a few other European countries is because there are African populations in Europe.

The academic milieu in the UK is a “rotten borough” that should be purged.

El Al flights out of Israel fully-booked again, I expect.

Stalin asked, sardonically, “how many divisions has the Pope?” (Pius XII), yet Stalin is gone, the Soviet regime is gone, and the Pope (albeit a successor-Pope) is still around, as is the Roman Catholic Church (though many think it will not outlast the present century).

Trump says he’s disappointed that the Israel and Jewish lobby isn’t as powerful now as it was 15 years ago. “15 years ago, if you said anything bad about Israel or the Jewish people, you were finished as a politician — the most powerful lobby in this country by far, was Israel and Jewish people. Today it’s almost like, what happened?

People at last, and at least, started to wake up, that’s what happened.

Part of that is younger people (worldwide) not using the Jewish/Zionist controlled or influenced “legacy media”, aka “mainstream media”, very much these days.

Trump, as President, always was a squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by Jews, but at least he might be able to prevent WW3, if re-elected.

I thought, before Biden stood aside, that Trump was “nailed on” to win, but the Kamala Harris candidature changes that, stupid and incredibly ignorant though she is.

For one thing, the American masses now vote mainly according to identity box-ticking. Many of the blacks will vote for Kamala Harris just because she is non-white (half-Jamaican, half-Tamil Indian). Many American women will vote for her simply because she is a woman.

I am beginning to think that Trump might lose this. Maybe that is why he is trying to get the Jews on-side. They may only comprise 2% of the American population, but their influence over the mass media makes their support all but indispensable for Trump.

I now find the US Presidential Election impossible to call.

Private Eye, Have I Got News For You etc are on the same level of System-approved fake “satire” as was the Soviet publication, Krokodil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krokodil.

As I blogged a week or so ago, Starmer, the “file-clerk given power unexpectedly”, has retreated into his “legal people” comfort zone, and (despite the sycophantic tweets of many of the usual pro-Labour Twitter-twits) has shown himself not a proper person to be Prime Minister.

A 60-y-o man imprisoned for 2 years and 8 months for merely pushing a policeman to the ground. True, he should not have done it, but (as with almost all of the recent reactive sentences following the protests) this seems highly excessive.

I hope that he appeals on sentence. 40% of 2 yrs 8 months is about 13 months. If he can get the sentence reduced to 20 months, he might be out in 8 months. Still pretty stiff. A suitable sentence might have been either a “suspended” or maybe 5 months, allowing for his release in 2 months.

Therese Coffey, like Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, falsified her CV in several respects, and is little better than a fraud. I blogged about her 5 years ago:

This is not how a society is supposed to work.

The truth is already inconvenient to a number of influential groups in society (and not just “them”)…

As frequently blogged, the West needs a thoroughgoing cultural purge, as well as a political one. TV, radio, the Press, the academic and other cultural institutions, the advertising industry etc.

Two-tier Keir has already failed as Prime Minister, but what will sink him is not so much his blatant attack on free speech and protest, but the fact that he and his cohorts have no idea at all how to tackle the real and pressing national issues, especially immigration (not just the rubber boats aspect), which causes or makes far worse all the other pressing issues— housing, benefits and pensions, pay, housing, crime, overcrowded roads, the environment; even water supply.

One of the most dangerous trends of our times”, said American writer Thomas Sowell, “is making the truth socially unacceptable, or even illegal, with ‘hate speech’ laws”. And this is exactly what is taking place in Britain.

What all this reflects is a wider point about the political left; in the end, as history shows, it will always sacrifice free speech and free expression on the altar of “social justice”. This is what we see in the online ramblings of people like Paul Mason, Oliver Kamm, Jessica Simor, and Edward Luce, all of whom have called for the shutdown of social media platforms, alternative television channels, and, ultimately, conversation among concerned citizens.

Sullivan: The future of the Ukrainian state causes pessimism

FORMER US AMBASSADOR IN MOSCOW: CONFLICT IN UKRAINE WILL NOT END WITH PUTIN’S CAPITOLATION

FORMER ambassador of the United States in Moscow, John Sullivan, assessed that the future of the Ukrainian state is pessimistic.

The conflict in Ukraine will not end “with the capitulation of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Sullivan said in an interview with Foreign Policy. He admitted that he is pessimistic about the future of Ukraine: “The two sides do not want to negotiate, which could lead to a stalemate, and that is the best the West can hope for in the foreseeable future.”

Previously, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that Ukraine does not have enough soldiers to continue the conflict.

A nuclear war would of course be terrible for all participants, and even those states not part of the conflict as active players.

Having said that, I feel that China and Russia would just about survive as peoples, probably, even if the states themselves were to implode. The USA is, relatively, more highly-centralized, more dependent on technology, more likely to fall into anarchy (meaning chaos).

If the top 100 population centres in the USA ceased to exist, the USA as a functioning entity would cease to exist.

Parasites, scavengers and predators. I should like to offer a solution here but, sadly, “the usual suspects” and their political, police, and CPS puppets, have almost destroyed free speech in the UK, making any comment difficult, presently.

That sort of thing is being driven by relatively small groups within each occupation, profession, and vocation.

I cannot say anything directly on the blog because we now have so little free speech in the UK (by reason, indeed, of those same “small groups”), so I shall just say “are you thinking what I am thinking?“…

This is becoming like a scaled down and ridiculous copy of Stalin’s purges. As Marx noted, first time— tragedy, but second time— farce [Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon].

Of course, that poor fellow quite wrongfully sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, will not see the (unfunny) joke, even though his 8 weeks will in the end be something like 3 (he will be out after 40% of the headline tariff).

In my opinion, the defendant should have pleaded not guilty. Unfortunately, he seems to have pleaded guilty (perhaps on advice of his solicitor) to get a notional sentence reduction from 12 to 8 weeks.

See another recent case in the same area: https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24506682.maryport-man-jailed-facebook-post-police-bid-stop-disorder/

Starmer’s thoroughly wicked and unconstitutional suggestion (almost a demand, at least an expressed presumption) that anyone pleading not guilty to any charge arising —however peripherally— out of the recent protests) would be remanded in custody until trial (which these days might be months or even a year later) was a direct attack on the rule of law. Plainly intimidatory, and designed to make defendants cave and plead guilty.

The latest I heard, something like 700 arrests have been made. How many charges, I do not know.

The truth, of course, is now no defence, as I understood during my own free speech trial and sentencing (trial November 2023, sentencing March 2024: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/03/16/diary-blog-16-march-2024/

Compare those sentences of imprisonment merely for giving out a few online opinions (though the Court, “Clown” Prosecution Service and politicized police all try to make the “offences” seem far worse) with those handed down for real crimes committed in the same area, such as this one:

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24509815.shoplifter-denies-threatening-stab-carlisle-co-op-manager/

A thief told the manager of a Carlisle Co-op store who had caught him stealing alcohol that he would return and “stab him” if he called the police, magistrates heard.

The defence lawyer representing prolific offender Elijah Ali, 34, told the city’s Rickergate court that the defendant denied making the threat. He did, however, plead guilty to the theft and to using threatening behaviour.

Prosecutor George Shelley outlined the facts.

He said the defendant and a second unknown male walked into the Central Avenue branch of Co-op at around 9.30pm on August 5 and began brazenly stealing alcohol from the shelves, picking up “numerous” bottles of booze and putting them in Ali’s jacket.

This prompted the store’s manager to make a 999 call, reporting that a theft was in progress and requesting urgent help.

The second male left the store but as he left, said Mr Shelley, Ali told the store manager: “If you call the police, I’m going to come back and stab you. That placed [the manager] in a state of fear.”

Ali’s record comprises 98 previous offences, 25 of them thefts and kindred crimes. “He’s a prolific offender,” said Mr Shelley.

Magistrates imposed a £200 fine and told Ali to pay the Co-op compensation of £200 as well as £85 costs and a surcharge.

So a few online comments about a news item results in immediate imprisonment, but for a “prolific thief” (called Ali) with 98 previous convictions, and who threatened to stab a shop manager, only a minor fine (probably paid off at £5 a week).

Any comment, “Prime Minister”? That’s you, two-tier Keir.

As in the old Soviet Union, a political “crime” is now dealt with far more harshly in the UK than a real crime of acquisition or violence.

The language gives it away (“our communities” etc).

Exactly. Some completely blameless tweets by seemingly blameless middle-aged ladies, and which I reposted on the blog, are now gone completely (including from the blog, because I usually embed them). The ladies in question seem to have been frightened into deleting not only the (entirely lawful) tweets but also their Twitter/X account(s).

“Two-tier Keir” is a hateful bastard. Yvette Cooper is no better. They are conspirators, trying to impose a “woke” multikulti police state upon this country.

Or “I am an honest citizen and fully support Comrade Stalin! Starmer!” [tweeter “Chris Faux”, or his type, in another setting].

2,200 Twitter/X users have apparently seen that tweet of “Chris Faux”. How many have “liked” it? 4… How many have retweeted it? Only 1…

Today’s authoritarianism knows no boundaries. London’s Metropolitan Police Chief just told the world that he will be coming after anyone who violates British social media censorship rules with international extradition requests – to include American citizens.

Simultaneously, the EU’s Censorship “Kommisar” Thierry Breton just told Elon Musk he can’t allow EU citizens to witness tonight’s interview with President Trump.

The elites who want to decide what is permissible to read and watch justify their censorship by labeling dissenting opinions as “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “far right,” or “extremist.”

During the lockdowns, MI-6 designated me and other health freedom activists as potential “terrorists.” But the label applies more closely to themselves, as they try to scare us into submission again with bird flu hoaxes, debt-fueled financial collapse, and ever more dangerous imperial wars of choice.

This is definitely a wake-up call, America. It’s time to reclaim our government. If not in America, the paragon of freedom, then where? https://zerohedge.com/political/london-calling-police-chief-threatens-arrest-people-around-world-online-speech.

His uncle, President John F. Kennedy, once said this:

Something about which Britain’s new “Labour” government (“elected” by only 20% of all eligible voters and a mere 33.7% of those who voted) might care to think.

The regime of two-tier Keir again.

Don’t stop what you are doing, Elon Musk. Hit Starmer hard.

The point is that the UK’s authoritarian/totalitarian laws and procedures have, in many cases, yes, been in place for some time, but have not been extensively used; in fact used mainly during and after the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic of 2020-2022.

This horrible nonsense has to go.

Bureaucrat-drone-dictator Starmer thinks that, by repressing free speech following the recent protests (and their riotous offshoots), he has somehow “solved” the problem that came across his desk. No. Every one of those recently sentenced, or sitting in some overcrowded jungle prison awaiting trial or sentence, now resents and hates Starmer and also the multikulti police state which he, Yvette Cooper, and Rachel Reeves, now head.

What does Starmer imagine will be happening in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with British people scarcely able to make a living, to pay exorbitant rents, to buy houses the cheapest of which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or to walk the streets of their own cities safely?

Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of migrant-invaders arrive illegally on our shores. Thousands more, every day, enter at least quasi-“legally”.

Britain is heading for a dystopian conflict never seen before.

Maybe also making “holocaust” “denial” (i.e. examination and historical revision, particularly of events of the 1940s and 1930s) illegal in the UK. Don’t forget that Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and that his wife is Jewish.

Don’t forget the others, the ~1,000,000 migrant-invaders that entered “legally” in the past year, or the births to non-European mothers.

I bet that the airlines still flying out of Israel have their flights fully-booked.

Europe should be standing with Russia, for the future of European culture and civilization.

He would have been justified in smacking her in the face, in the circumstances. Not immediately, but by the end of her contrived and sustained confrontation.

Kiev-regime announcement

The Kiev regime has announced that it “is not interested” in hanging on to the little strip of land it recently invaded in the Kursk region of Russia.

Translation: the forces of the Kiev regime only made the incursion so that Zelensky and his cabal could claim to Western mass media that they are “winning”, or at least continuing to fight.

In reality, the Kiev-regime incursion forces, mostly press-ganged and poorly-trained serf-soldiers, have been mainly wiped out, and the rest are —literally— dying to be able to drive back over the border to Ukraine and relative safety.

The Kiev-regime incursion was never sustainable; the territory gained for a day or two, or a week or two, could never have been held.

I am worried, though, for the dim Ukrainian soldiers and their grieving, or soon-to-be-grieving families, and also for the Russian civilian families in the Kursk border region, their lives disrupted by this stupid publicity stunt.

At the same time, the Russian advance in the south-east continues steadily.

Just walked through Huddersfield city centre. Really struck by the starkest of contrasts.

Some older women sat outside a Merrie England cafe (remember ‘em?), trying to enjoy a civilised afternoon tea.

They were surrounded by the stench of weed, people shouting in foreign languages, couples in tracksuits hurling abuse at each other, gangs of lads hanging around, beggars off their faces.

Nothing noteworthy about the scenario – just everyday stuff in yer standard Red Wall town. But I was impressed by the dignity and stoicism of the women. The rest of it almost reduced me to tears.”

[Dr. Philip Kiszely]

I would suggest a few things, but no doubt that would bring the boring police drones to my door once again, as has happened several times in the past decade. They are the footsoldiers of the multikulti “woke” police state now re-energized by Starmer.

Much of urban Britain is now a dustbin.

Why is pathetic Sinn Fein supporting the migration-invasion of Ireland, and certainly not properly opposing it?

Strange. I have read about the increase in alcohol consumption during the “lockdown” nonsense or 2020-2021. I went the other way, almost stopping my relatively-modest consumption.

There have been times in my life when I drank little or nothing, other times when my consumption was quite high. I suppose the latter was true of when I was living in the former Soviet Union, in the Caribbean, and in France, as well as when I was practising at the English Bar (during the years 1992-1996 and 2002-2008).

Now, most days, I drink no alcohol at all. No particular reason predominates. It may be partly a function of increasing age (I shall be 68 next month, ironically on the same day as the birthday of “two-tier Keir” Starmer, though he is six years younger than me).

Another reason is that the wines, especially the red wines, that I once liked, such as Chateau Margaux, are extremely expensive (I suppose they always were, but that I notice it more now), or are hard to source (some Moldavian and Georgian wines).

One kind of booze I do like is what the French term eaux de vie, such as 40%+ Kirsch and Poire Williams etc.

A Central and Eastern European taste too, that I must have picked up somewhere or other, is Slivovitz (plum spirit), which UK Lidl had on sale recently (I bought 2 bottles, 42% alc.), and what the Hungarians call palinka, fruit spirit, which may be distilled from one fruit, or a mixture. Apricot is probably my favourite, though I have not had any for well over 20 years.

On a hot day, though, beer is often the best drink (apart from water). I used to like (30-40 years ago), Zhiguli beer from Russia, which was at that time sold in the UK, in Selfridges. Czech beer is pretty good, of course, as is some Polish.

When I was living in Turkey for a few months, I liked Tekel beer, made by a State enterprise. It no longer exists, at least in that form.

One type of wine that I liked a lot in the 1980s, and early 1990s, was the kind of white wine produced in Australia at that time, especially heavily-oaked quality Chardonnay. Harder to find now, of the same type. Maybe tastes have changed, and the producers have followed suit..

As I noted on the blog during the “Covid” hysteria, the self-describing “left”, including almost all of the “human rights” tribe, were all in favour of more severe “lockdowns”, more severe penalties, dissidents and people ignoring the “Covid” hysteria to have all civil rights taken away, deprived of all medical treatment, even when entirely unconnected to “the virus” etc.

Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost of of its former ideology and direction, and seems to exist purely to cheer on the right labels (“Covid”, “Ukraine”, “BLM”, “trans”-whatever) and of course “Labour”, despite Labour (also) having lost all or 99% of its former ethos. That, and to “deplatform” from everywhere possible any people who are labelled derogatively by them.

Professor Tettenborn is someone I met a couple of times in Exeter circa 2002-2003. He was at that time the professor at the law faculty of Exeter University. I was in a small set of barristers (now very much larger and, under another name, the largest in the South West outside Bristol; the former head of my old set is now a Circuit Judge).

I sat with Professor Tettenborn and another as a notional “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot competition held in the Guildhall at Exeter in mid-2002. My only day as a Lord Justice of Appeal, or indeed any sort of judge.

Incidentally, the winner of the moot (out of three student contenders) was a young Anglo-Armenian who had engaged in some sharp practice during the competition. We three “Lords Justices of Appeal” discussed disqualifying him, but in the end relented. As a student advocate, he was head and shoulders above the other two students, and we thought that that had to be recognized.

A few years later, as a young barrister, the same person got into trouble over allegations of sex harassment (not in my own Chambers but another set), I heard. Not sure whether that went to the Bar Standards Board (I think it did), but the person in question is still, I believe, at the Bar and still based in Exeter; I think that he was also, quite a few years ago, an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for MP at Exeter.

All a long time ago now.

Professor Tettenborn also made a very cogent case at the Law Commission inquiry as to whether the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, should be repealed. That was what was recommended, but the section has so far not been repealed, and is regularly misused either by the police/CPS or by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Ironic. I myself was noted at the end of that Law Commission report as having been a contributor, yet was myself later a victim of that same bad law: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/03/16/diary-blog-16-march-2024/.
