Diary Blog, 31 May 2025, including thoughts on the continuing “lawfare” abuse of the UK legal system by the Jewish-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (private prosecution of comedian Reginald D. Hunter)

Saturday quiz

Not a very good week. I merely equalled the modest score of political journalist John Rentoul— 4/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, and 7.

I take issue with the quiz-setter on question 10. As far as I know, no European country has forest cover as high as 78%, though Finland has, I believe, about 74%, and Sweden the same or slightly less. John Rentoul claims to have answered that question correctly, though; well, there it is…

The continuing abuse of the UK legal system by the Jew-Zionist troublemakers known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”

I happened to see the following tweet put out by the malicious and troublemaking “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, whose chief spokesperson, “Slitherman”, despite having been exposed (by the carelessness of the CAA’s own lawyer, and in open court) some years ago as a serial and sadistic online troller of people, especially women, is often featured on the “no one watches” Talk TV online outlet, GB News, and even Sky News, as well as LBC radio, all msm outlets under the (((usual))) influence, of course:

[“A warrant has been issued for Reginald D. Hunter to attend court in relation to a private prosecution brought by CAA. Mr Hunter is charged with three offences under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, relating to posts on X that he allegedly published in September 2024. The first hearing took place today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, but Mr Hunter failed to appear. A warrant has now been issued for him to attend court on a future date. This is one of a number of private prosecutions that CAA is bringing, and there will be more to say on the case in due course.”]

That seems (in view of the date mentioned) likely to relate to events in 2024 described in a few previous blog posts:

Much of the background can probably be found in those blog posts.

As regular readers of the blog will know, the malicious “CAA” troublemakers, liars, and perjurers (who are disowned even by most Jews, even by most Jew-Zionists, in this country), and (connected by supporters and /or members, though not formally) “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], have been gunning for me over the past 11-14 years: see

The right of individuals and organizations to bring private prosecutions, once, in practice, mainly the preserve of bodies such as the RSPCA and RSPB, is now being abused, mainly by tendentious political organizations such as the fake charity, the “CAA”.

The “CAA” is basically a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London. It has been, for about a decade, conducting both harassment and “lawfare” against individuals and bodies it considers anti-Israel and/or “antisemitic”.

So far, apart from me —not privately-prosecuted, the “CAA” having somehow suborned police and Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] personnel in order to have me prosecuted by direct police/CPS action (see blog posts above)— the CAA has harassed such as the famous David Icke, the (half-Jewish) jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, former footballer and TV pundit Gary Lineker, Al Jazeera TV, the BBC and its reporters, and many others, and has in the past privately prosecuted the satirical singer, Alison Chabloz, whose case was then taken over officially by the CPS.

Private prosecutions can be taken over by the CPS either on its own initiative or upon application by either the private prosecutors or the defendant(s). The CPS can then either stop the prosecution, or take it over and continue it officially.

The “CAA” seems to have had plenty of money donated to it, either by wealthy Jews in the UK, or from Israel. Indeed, their latest “lawfare” abuse follows on from their long-running attempt to recruit a competent lawyer as “General Counsel” (they love important titles— “Slitherman” is called “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”…):

Other “CAA” staff members have also been recruited recently.

The “CAA” usually tries (as in my own free speech trial) to use/abuse the notorious “bad law” of Communications Act 2003, s.127, which was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission, but which (so far) remains on the statute book mainly because Jew-Zionist organizations (principally the “CAA”) made representations, via “friendly” MPs and corrupt members of the House of Lords, to the effect that the provision should not be repealed (during the quite recent passage of the Online Harms Act).

This type of “lawfare” should be prohibited. It is a flagrant abuse of the English legal system.

[Daily Mail]

Incidentally, the “two Israelis” mentioned in the report of the Daily Mail are the two dishonest Jew-Zionist fanatics mentioned in the blog posts above, in fact, that is “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and Mandy Blumenthal (his wife/carer), acting together with Daily Mail scribbler Sabrina Miller to create a contrived “incident”.

It is pretty clear why the abusive and malicious “CAA” cabal is now trying once more to bring private prosecutions. The police and CPS are now, more than heretofore, aware of the CAA’s “lawfare” abuse, and are less and less willing to take the contrived “CAA” complaints at face value. Ergo, with the CPS and even the fairly clueless police unwilling to be used as “CAA” puppets, the “CAA” has had to shift for itself.

Successful defendants to private prosecutions have the right to ask for the costs of their defence, which may be, in some cases, very substantial, by the way.

That made me laugh. Liz Truss is ancient history, politically (in the real Britain outside John Rentoul’s Westminster Bubble). I doubt that many voters care about any similarity between Farage’s economic views and those of already-near-forgotten Liz Truss.

As for whether the (non-existent) “books” or statistics “add up”, the people have had so much of all that nonsense wash over them for 15-20 years that it makes little or no impact.

People want to stamp on both Labour and Conservative parties. They know in their hearts that those System parties have to go, whatever the flaws of Farage and his Reform UK party.

Just a Westminster Bubble club, which has as its main aim (together with personal careerism) amplifying the System message(s)…

It is not a pro-Farage vote, or even pro-Reform vote, as such, but neither is it a “protest vote”. It is a seriously-angry vote against the System parties, their smug freeloading politicians, and about everything now going very very wrong in this country, and against the key cause (of several connected causes)— mass immigration, the trashing of a white European country, and turning that country into a black/brown/Chinese/God-knows-what dystopian mess.

I suppose that the others are either non-Brits anyway, or too young (under 30? under 40? and brainwashed in the schools) to realize what Britain has lost, and what it has become.

Beria, Stalin, and the Soviet Union

Strange that some of the blog posts I consider among my best are also the least-read! Well, that’s “consumer choice”, I suppose. One such is this, written in 2018, and since then only hit on by a few people per month:

Not sure what that tweeter (the ex-wife and ex-expenses-paid secretary of a Con Party MP who was voted out last year) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Syms] is saying there. That Neil Duncan-Jordan should have joined the equally spending-cut crazy Con Party? Stayed at home and cultivated his garden? Still, her final point is unarguable. Politically, Duncan-Jordan is indeed “toast”: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Duncan-Jordan. At least he seems honest.

Duncan-Jordan is MP for Poole, which was the lady’s ex-husband’s seat until he lost it by only 18 votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Duncan-Jordan#Electoral_record.

What might happen in (?) 2029 at Poole is anyone’s guess. Maybe a Reform win, maybe not.

System politics must age people. That Labour MP is apparently about 13 years younger than me, yet (to be frank) looks 10+ years older.

Yet GB News is certainly “biased and tribal” in one way— the (((usual))) way…

I agree with that. I also think, however, that women should not box other women either. Socially inappropriate. Martial arts such as taekwando, karate etc? That is a bit different, in my view. Grey area.

The New Forest?! Ha ha! I almost used a laughing “emoji” for the first time. Co-incidence, I suppose…

Presumably the same people telling pollsters that they intend to vote Reform in future.

For me, Farage and Reform are only “on the way”, not the —or a— destination. I wish them well, though, in the short term.

The appeal judge in the Rowan Laxton case disbelieved Falter’s sworn testimony, but it could not be proven “beyond reasonable doubt” that Falter and another Jew “witness” for the prosecution at the first-instance trial were lying, so Falter was never prosecuted for perjury.

…or, indeed, my own “case” (see this blog, above). Toby Young, the “Free Speech Union”, Matt Goodwin, Katie Hopkins etc, all the “controlled opposition” dissidents, are effectively in the pocket of (((the usual suspects))). Which is why they are “allowed” to hold public events, fundraise, get money, get onto TV etc.

I missed that tweet from a few days ago. Jews brutalizing Palestinian Arabs in one of their new Jew-Zionist concentration camps in and about Gaza.

Not 100% accurate. I was not imprisoned after my free speech trial ended in conviction in November 2023 (sentence passed in March 2024). I was not even given a suspended sentence. I was given a financial penalty (fine and costs) amounting to about £740, and a “community order” of 15 “rehabilitation days” over 9 months, which in the end was finished (effectively though not officially) after about 5 months, and which basically consisted in my having about 6 or 7 chats (from 20 minutes to over 2 hours in duration, mostly about 30 minutes or so) with a rather charming and polite young lady from the Probation Service.

Something for the Israelis to worry about.

He’s a crazie.

From time to time, the British Army comes up with crazy mavericks of Kemp’s sort. Orde Wingate. “Mad Mitch” Mitchell. Others. They rarely get to the higher ranks, though Kemp (pro-Israel to the hilt— quelle surprise…) did make full colonel, “Mad Mitch” Mitchell reached half-colonel, and Wingate was made up to major-general during WW2 (though at one point demoted to major).

Wingate was a very pro-Jew officer, who shot Arab civilians out of hand in then-British-ruled Palestine, and tortured many as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orde_Wingate#Palestine_and_the_Special_Night_Squads.

Should Ukraine ever be in possession of nuclear weapons, Russia would have no choice but to destroy them using its own nuclear weapons (as Israel seems to want to do to Iran). Colonel Kemp is mad to suggest such an idea (which, however, will never happen).

Diary Blog, 6 January 2025, with more comment about free speech and its enemies, and some information about “Lord” George Foulkes

Free speech, freedom of expression

At present, people are not only being prosecuted for “offences” of having allegedly published “unpleasant” comments but also for having published serious comment relating to important social and political (and historical) matters inconvenient to certain groups, especially the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should know. I myself have been victimized, for about 12 -13 years, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. What infuriates that lobby the most is that I refuse to be a victim. I continue to stand up for right, justice, and truth.

The articles below are presented in chronological order, from 2017 through to 2024.

The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.

In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).

Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.

The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).

Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).

I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.

I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.

Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.

Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.

We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).

Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.

Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).

Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.

Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).

Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.

Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.

Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.

The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.

So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.

Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…

Sadly, Australia, where I lived and went to school for three years in the late 1960s, seems to have been making the same mistakes (promoted by the same or similar malicious groups…) as the UK and much of Europe. Plainly put, importing useless blacks and browns, and others such as Chinese. What a pity. So unnecessary and destructive.

For those unaware, Russian Orthodox Christmas is a couple of weeks behind because the Russian Orthodox Church (though not the rest of Russia) uses the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian. Thus, in Russia, Christmas Day is tomorrow, the 7th of January 2025.

Scuttling and scurrying.

Were I given the power, I would shut it down permanently, as a start.

I saw a few minutes of the dancing groups etc on Sky News. About 1% of the Rio Carnival, in all respects.

Israel and the Jew-Zionists in every country are almost always the ones clamouring for a shutdown of free speech. As regular readers know, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] has been demanding my prosecution for about 10 years.

The “CAA” finally got their wish in 2023, after having applied improper pressure on the “Clown” Prosecution Service, but their “victory” soon proved to be Pyrrhic:

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.

How short our lives are.

I might add that the BBC once made charming, interesting little films like that, about 40 or 50 years ago, but no longer.

Seems that Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal have now left the Edinburgh Fringe, where they tried to have an American black comedian “cancelled” and even arrested, but failed, themselves being laughed and booed out of the theatre where they had staged an incident, no doubt partly so that they would later be able to claim some kind of substantial monetary “compensation”, as they had done before, notably in relation to Kuwait Airways. https://www.thejc.com/news/kuwait-airways-pays-damages-to-woman-barred-from-buying-ticket-at-heathrow-for-being-israeli-c1vcjc8o.

Incidentally, read that Jewish Chronicle report. It says that Mandy Blumenthal filmed herself trying to buy the ticket. What normal passenger does that? Anyway, it is clear that (((other persons))) were doing the filming and, indeed, doing so covertly. She, despite being a UK passport-holder, deliberately used her other, Israeli, passport, so that she could make a fake claim, and so make money out of the refusal to accept her Israeli passport.

Note how, in the full video (shown in that Jewish Chronicle report) she also makes a false claim that the poor ticket sales fellow is “racially abusing” her. Seems to be an ingrained trait.

So Mandy Blumenthal received “substantial damages“…I wonder. £10,000? £20,000? More?

Of course the lawyers involved on her side all eventually received fat fees too, because Kuwait Airways also agreed to pay her “full” legal costs.

A total scam. At least this time they were caught out.

As I noted yesterday, I was quite surprised to see how immobile Lewis now is (by reason of multiple sclerosis). I might feel sorry for almost anyone else who is so afflicted physically (it may also affect him mentally, he being or having been on powerful drugs) but Lewis has been co-ordinating persecution of me by the Jew-Zionist lobby in the UK for about 12 years now, so any reserves of compassion I may have will be directed to others, others frankly more worthy.

Lewis is or was a “director” of “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], which was behind the complaint about me to the Bar Standards Board [BSB], in 2014, which resulted in my wrongful and actually unlawful disbarment in late 2016 (8+ years after I had ceased active practice at the Bar). A typically malicious political stunt. See below:

Simultaneously, Lewis was and still is a leading light of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], a Jew-Zionist organization so unpleasant that other Jewish and Zionist organizations avoid it, as was seen not long ago when its “chief executive”, Gideon Falter, tried to create another “antisemitism” scandal in Central London: see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/22/met-officer-antisemitism-campaigner-gideon-falter-longer-video-sky-news.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/apr/26/who-is-the-caa-gideon-falter-met-police-openly-jewish-antisemitism-row

longer version of the clip released later shows the officer explaining to Falter that his approach was informed by the knowledge he had already deliberately walked out into the middle of the march and was therefore “looking to try and antagonise this”.

John Mann, the government’s antisemitism tsar, said Falter had been “quite explicit” about his intentions at the protest. “There’s no ambiguity in what he’s doing,” he told the BBC, saying he had been blocked by the CAA on the social media platform X and they were “not playing it straight”.

[Guardian]

Falter crowed mightily in the “sympathetic” sections of the (((Press))) and (((TV))) after my 2016 disbarment. After his 2024 Central London stunt failed, even quite vociferously pro-Israel individuals, such as David Aaronovitch (himself actually only half-Jewish, despite the name) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Aaronovitch], heavily criticized Falter and the “CAA”:

Lewis has been making, with others, malicious behind-the-scenes attempts, since 2012, to have me investigated and even charged by the police. I am aware of some of the details, incidentally. In fact, he was working, partly, in conjunction with an equally-malicious “CAA” Israel fanatic, Stephen Silverman (“CAA” “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”), and others (some now defunct) for years, trying to “get” me.

Several times over the past decade, police constables (in their new role as a poundshop Stasi), or those PCSO play-police (ditto), have come to my door, but I have never been arrested by any of them (the PCSOs have no specific power of arrest anyway).

I was “invited” (required) to attend an interview a couple of times: see, e.g.

As readers can see, that attempt to have me charged failed.

The “CAA” sub-terrorists then, in 2017-2018, pressured the then Director of Public Prosecutions and the then Attorney-General to have me charged with “incitement to racial hatred”, a charge which requires the assent of the A-G. No dice.

The “CAA” and its cohorts had already pressured (pre-Elon Musk) Twitter to have my popular Twitter account shut down. It was shut down (in 2018) but, silver-lining time, the deletion of the Twitter account meant that the “Clown” Prosecution Service could not acquire the evidence to ground any such proposed “racial incitement” charge. The “CAA” idiots had shot themselves in the foot.

Incidentally, the ear of the then DPP was bent by Israel-lobby fanatic and then MP, Ian Austin, who wrote demanding my prosecution.

Now in the House of Lords, Austin once or twice tweeted that bestiality pornography should be decriminalized.

One of the few who actually supported Austin publicly was none other than Bristol University Jewish student girl Sabrina Miller, now scribbling fake news at the Daily Mail, fake news such as the recent contrived tale of the “victimized Israeli couple, Shimon and Talia“, who however were then unmasked as being Mark Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal. Small world…

That did not stop Silverman and Lewis (etc), though.

The former made a completely false accusation against me in 2021, alleging that I had “racially-abused” him, something that was not only false, but in fact impossible, because I did not know his address or telephone number, had never seen him in person, and had no Twitter account (and had never once written, posted, or spoken to him). In fact, there was simply no evidence against me at all, but the suborned or compliant police of two counties still “invited” (required) me to an interview under caution: see

I still do not understand why Silverman was not charged with “wasting police time” or why he has also never been charged with the far more serious (indictable) offence of (attempted) perversion of the course of justice (there is actually no distinction). He is plainly guilty, having made a provably false criminal accusation against me. I suppose that “they” just get a free pass much of the time.

An account of my free speech trial last year (under the notoriously bad law of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, recommended for repeal by the Law Commission), my prosecution having been once again instigated by the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (Silverman):

Incidentally, Silverman actually turned up to gloat on both my day of trial in November 2023, and my days (there was an adjournment of a week or two) of sentencing in March 2024. He scuttled off pretty quickly after the sentence was handed down, and later tweeted (sub nom “CAA”) at how disgusting it was that I was not given a harsher sentence.

Incidentally Lewis’s behaviour towards his second wife, one-time minor “celebrity”, Caroline Feraday, apparently verged on —and arguably was— abusive. I don’t know about his first wife in detail, but both divorced him, in Caroline Feraday’s case after only a year. Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal are married now.

Almost exactly what not only is my view but was my view expressed on the blog long before GE 2024, though I disagree that the Con misgovernment was the lesser evil. Pretty much the same in most respects. People did not want fake Labour, Starmer-Labour, but they wanted to bin the fake “Conservatives” more.

As said repeatedly (and it needs to be repeated), Starmer-Labour has no real mandate because, regardless of the large number of seats bequeathed by a ridiculous electoral system, only 4 out of every 12 voters that voted, voted Labour; indeed, only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, because only 12 people out of every 20 eligible voters actually voted.

Even on the conservative basis of 4 out of 12 (33.7%), Labour really has no mandate to do all sorts of absurdly dictatorial things.

Well, “every reaction posits an opposite and equal reaction“, said Newton.

To put it another way, sow the wind and you will reap the whirlwind…and that applies not only to medics.

We’ll resolve nothing if we continue to let people feel comfortable with screaming racism, transphobia, climate denial, etc, at perfectly reasonable cultural questions. Make no mistake – we’re heading for crisis. The kind that unfolds with breathtaking speed, just after the point of no return. The time to be counted is now. Relying on others call out the BS (and take the flak) isn’t an option. Not anymore. You can’t nod along at the solution if you’re part of the problem.” Vice-versa, surely, that last?

In a Spoons in Wakefield. These reminders NOT to be absolute Knuckle-dragging morons – we never needed them years ago. This is what you get when nobody cares – and when everybody is encouraged to hate Britain. And when society is purposely fragmented by the purveyors of mass immigration and bad education.”

Well, the way things are going in the UK, you never know when an extraction might be required…

Late thought

All part of the “blacks with everything” propaganda. Been going on for years now. Actual blacks are “only” about 4% of the UK population; even if you add in “browns” and others, the white (formerly known as English) population of the UK is still as much as 80% of the UK population, yet almost all the new faces on TV news and discussion shows are now non-white. A deliberate virtual “white genocide”.

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).

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24513379.sellafield-worker-jailed-sharing-offensive-facebook-posts/

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.

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).

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.

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.”

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.

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A1linka; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsch; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poire_Williams; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz.

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/.

Talking point

“…I see the question (philosophically) as one of the tension between individuality and collectivity. I blogged about this 2-3 years ago, not long after I started this blog:
https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/01/06/free-speech-individuality-v-collectivity/

If people are all identical, they need no law, no order; it is all automatic. The more “diverse” the society, the more law is necessary, the more that order has to be imposed externally, unless the individuals are of such elevation that they can order themselves as a group entity.

In practice, at the present time, we see that the UK has few characteristics of homogenous unity, or in the German term, Volksgemeinschaft. Folk-community. All the aspects of a society are, in *this* society, pulling apart “community”: race, religion, economics, politics, language, even age and sex (meaning male/female, which is fraught enough, but now there are a dozen other “possibilities”, like the Eskimos having 30 words for “snow”).

[remarks by me, from a discussion with others on the blog about 5 years ago]

In fact, here was another reply I made to a commentator on the same day in 2019 as the above remarks, but on other topics:

Thank you.
As to some of your points:
1. The SNP is the faux-nationalist party par excellence in the UK. Immigration fine, Scottish future population black, brown, Muslim…also fine. “Scottish” = “born in Scotland or just living there” as distinct from descended by blood. The SNP wants to decriminalize drug abuse, criminalize the “wrong” opinions etc. How cheaply the votes o the Scottish people are bought! Free prescriptions, free hospital parking etc (not that I oppose either of those), and in return give up your freedom of expression, turn your poorer people into mixed-race human material, as well as “hoes”, drug-abusers and degenerates; I noticed some time ago that Police Scotland is entirely under a Jew-Masonic thumb;
2. This did not come out of nowhere.The SNP was founded around 1930 or so, but did not get 1 MP until 1970, and only had a tiny group until 2015. However, the fault is not, in origo, in the SNP itself, but the way in which the SNP has obviously been taken over in the past decade or so. The other System parties in Scotland seem useless anyway.
3. As you say, the police have been turned, all over the UK, into something scarcely recognizable. At ground level, shouting mercenaries with H&K weapons, tattoos and stubble; at the senior level, public-relations-advised Common Purpose members, often women, full of anti-“racism” and anti-“sexism” “initiatives”.
4. Meanwhile, real crime goes almost unaddressed. I was watching a documentary about the con-man (now in prison) Ross Acklom. One lady conned by him went to Gloucestershire Police, who advised her to fill in a form online. Even when she told them that she had lost everything she owned, they were useless (she turned to an investigative journalist). They did not even send a detective to talk to her!

In my opinion, those comments of mine (except for the name of the said con-man who was, in fact, called Mark Acklom) have held up rather well in the succeeding four and a half years, nicht wahr?

I grew up on a Council Estate and never once questioned my parents income, it was never a discussion.

We didn’t eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group. We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes and vegetables – (which were not an optional choice). No vegetables, no dessert!!!

We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbours with chores to be able to earn our own money. We by no means were given everything we wanted.

We went outside a lot to play, ride bikes, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went swimming. We rarely just sat inside.

Bottled water was unheard of. If we had a coke, it was in a glass bottle and we didn’t break the bottle when finished. We saved it and cashed it back in at the shops for a sweet. After school, we came home and did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over.

We would ride our bikes for hours. We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with and be home when the street lights came on! You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was LAW and you did not question it and you had better know it! We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real telling off, it wasn’t called abuse, it was called discipline!

We held doors, carried the shopping and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked. You didn’t hear swear words on the radio in songs or TV. “Please and Thank you”, were part of our daily vocabulary!

The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.

Consider Re-posting if you’re thankful for your childhood. I will never forget where I came from and only wish children nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with! And we were never ever ever ever bored.”

Despite not having been brought up on a council estate, and occasionally being bored as a child (usually when forced to visit relatives with my parents), and never having had to do many chores (or any babysitting), I can say that much of the rest of the above statement might echo my own early-mid 1960s English childhood, when I was 5-10 years old [b.1956].

Gideon Falter, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and their lies

As noted yesterday, LBC is owned by a Jew-Zionist-owned company…

…but what is the BBC’s (Radio 4 Today Programme’s) excuse?

Good grief! Even David Aaronovitch is against Falter’s lies, and those of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Falter, as noted on the blog yesterday, is a liar, and someone indeed who has previously lied on oath in court.

Falter’s “Campaign Against Antisemitism” colleague, Stephen Silverman, who gloated from the back of the court as I was convicted on contrived charges under the absurdly-badly-drafted Communications Act 2003, s.127 last November, had previously, in 2021, made a totally untrue allegation of “racial harassment” against me, which resulted in police appearing at my door (though in the end, no charges were brought, for the simple reason that there was no evidence whatsoever, not even any cooked-up by Silverman).

Silverman should have been charged in 2021 or 2022 with an attempted perversion of the course of justice (I suppose that he still could be, in theory), or at least wasting police time (though that latter option would have had to have been brought to charge within 6 months of the false allegation). That is even without consideration of his former online trolling behaviour (using pseudonyms to intimidate people online, mainly women). An incompetent “CAA” lawyer admitted to that behaviour in open court about 6 years ago, in one of the hearings involving another “CAA” target, the satirical singer Alison Chabloz.

Why are these lying Jew-Zionists so often apparently immune from police action? Why is “justice” so often a one-way street in England? The impression given is that “the fix is in” when it comes to the Israel lobby’s activities…

As to Falter himself, he is 40 or 41 years of age, apparently acquired a law degree from Warwick University about 20 years ago, but seems never to have become either barrister or solicitor; seems to be a kind of “trustafarian” (wealthy Jewish parents); described as a “company director”; not much is in the public domain: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/X6tALf0VtsoUgZjSCFF5vMXrKo8/appointments.

As frequently blogged in the past, faux-proletarian Kevin Maguire is just another puppet of the UK Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, as seen on those ridiculously-staged Punch and Judy “debates” on Sky News with that other puppet, Andrew Pierce.

For more about Myerson, his toxic social media activities, and his unprofessional attitude, see this blog on previous days.

Ten o’clock in the morning, and Myerson has already tweeted 19 times. Obsessed. He should not be sitting as a Recorder (if he still is after all the complaints against him). In fact, if I was disbarred (as I was, in 2016, after a Jew-Zionist campaign against me) for having tweeted 5 supposedly offensive tweets (out of about 150,000 altogether), then Myerson should surely be disbarred as well.

Hard to believe! Even “Lord” John Mann, that longstanding puppet of the Israel lobby, and former MP, is now openly criticizing Falter and the other liars of the “CAA” cabal! Brilliant.

Rachel Johnson– part-Jewish, like her brother Boris-Idiot.

Falter is obviously not respected even by fellow-Jews, indeed even by fellow-Zionists (Jews and non-Jews). He seems to be someone who, without any known business or profession, is using his inherited or trust-fund money to push himself into a leadership position among Jews resident in the UK, but his attempts just do not wash. People, not least Jews, either dislike him, or laugh at him, or both.

Late tweets seen

Falter is patently dishonest. Why is he (and his malicious little “organization”, a tiny and self-selected handful of Jews out of 250,000+ Jews in the UK), given any credence at all by Sky, BBC, LBC, the mainstream Press, and the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister?

Quite plausible. Certainly a trained security man/bodyguard. Look at his head moving round, scanning the nearby crowd through dark glasses.

It would take more than that to make me like Starmer, but good move, anyway.

University lecturer James Wilson has been awarded £30,000 in damages against James Mendelsohn and Edward Cantor for defamatory material published about him during an argument about supposed antisemitism in the Labour party. The false claim, that Mr Wilson was a ‘freak [who] takes pictures of kids’, put Mr Wilson and his partner in fear of physical danger, as well as seriously damaging his reputation. The judge had previously rejected an attempt by Mendelsohn and Cantor to quash the lawsuit.

University lecturer James Wilson has been awarded £30,000 in damages against James Mendelsohn and Edward Cantor for defamatory material published about him during an argument about supposed antisemitism in the Labour party. The false claim, that Mr Wilson was a ‘freak [who] takes pictures of kids’, put Mr Wilson and his partner in fear of physical danger, as well as seriously damaging his reputation. The judge had previously rejected an attempt by Mendelsohn and Cantor to quash the lawsuit.

The judgement lays bare that:

  • Mendelsohn and Cantor kept private information and recycled it to the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the anti-left group ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS), so that he could use it to defame Wilson – the information was untrue and based a) on statements from someone the judge found to have lied about Wilson and b) on false claims about a university disciplinary investigation. Newbon was described by the judge as ‘bullying’
  • that Newbon, who committed suicide in 2022 after a row with his wife and has been lionised by so-called ‘antisemitism campaigners’ despite his awful record as a serial troll repeatedly disciplined by his employers Northumbria University for his appalling social media conduct, had not told her of Wilson’s lawsuit against him for the defamatory posts
  • Mendelsohn and Cantor refused to apologise, mediate or settle, forcing the legal action to proceed to its conclusion
  • a key witness for the defendants said that she had been offered £5,000 by Mendelsohn and Cantor to testify for them (though the judge did not make a finding that her claim was true)
  • the defendants further abused and insulted Wilson in the course of their defence – despite, in the case of Cantor, being warned by the judge not to do so.

The defendants – who represented themselves in court apart from the use of a barrister to cross-examine Wilson – wheeled out a number of figures who are well known for their attacks on the left in an attempt to shore up their defence. The judge dismissed them.

  • University lecturer David Hirsh, a prominent, pro-Israel proponent of supposed ‘left antisemitism’, who wrote an unintentionally revealing elegy to Pete Newbon after his suicide. Hirsh was called to bolster the defendants’ claim that Wilson had shown ‘unwarrantedly aggressive and belligerent conduct’. The judge rejected Hirsh’s evidence that Wilson was ‘aggressive, unpredictable, persistent and irrational’ and found that Wilson’s communications with him over the spreading of a crowdfund for the defendants’ legal costs were ‘not unreasonable’
  • Nathan Comiskey, another advocate of ‘left antisemitism’, who claimed that Wilson contacting him about insulting remarks was ‘highly intrusive and upsetting’ and that he had felt ‘harassed and targeted’. The judge ruled that there was nothing unreasonable in Wilson’s communications and that Comiskey’s testimony did nothing to support the defendants’ claims about supposed unwarranted aggression or belligerence
  • Simon Myerson – a founding signatory of LAAS and supporter of Israel, and a part-time judge recently sanctioned for judicial misconduct for abusive social media posts. Myerson was also a vocal supporter of Newbon, trying to link Jewish author Michael Rosen to Newbon’s suicide, despite a coroner not mentioning Rosen at all in his inquest findings. Mendelsohn and Cantor put forward Wilson’s communications with Myerson, who had shared a post describing Wilson as ‘scum of the earth’, as evidence to support their claim of aggressive behaviour. The judge ruled that it did nothing of the sort
  • Joanne Bell and journalist Adam Cailler – more well-known anti-left activists whose correspondence with Wilson was put forward by the defence as supporting evidence. The judge ruled, “I can find nothing in the emails which is particularly aggressive or which points to conduct of the kind said to demonstrate the pleaded propensity [to aggression]”.

[quaere: surely Skwawkbox meant to print that Hirsch is an “opponent” of “left antisemitism“? I suppose they meant that he is a proponent of the concept].

“The usual suspects”, or some of them. Most of the above have, in the past, tweeted about me.

The Jew barrister and now (if he is still allowed to sit) Recorder, Myerson, should be removed from any judicial or quasi-judicial positions. He was repeatedly vituperative about me on Twitter in the past, dozens of times. A pro-Israel fanatic, hypocrite, and liar; and that is only what is plain from his own tweets.

I was unaware that Myerson has already been sanctioned by the authorities for unethical conduct. Boot him out.

Most if not all of those mentioned above are also supporters of the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which was behind the recent (2023) prosecution of me, via the suborned police and “Clown” Prosecution Service, and under the notorious “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).

Incidentally, I have just looked at Myerson’s Twitter/X account for the first time in many months. He has tweeted at least 20 times already today (though nothing about his above embarrassments), and it is only 1400 hrs. He must be busy…

[Update, 3 August 2024: Myerson was removed as a Recorder (p/t judge) in early July, though he was allowed to pretend that he had “resigned”].

Very diplomatic. Very “Christian”, really; almost too nice to the above tribe that set upon him like a pack of hyenas. Dr. Wilson is, after his victory, “turning the other cheek” in a way, but do not forget that other Biblical injunction— “do not give that which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn and rend you“.

Leading “activists” and/or supporters of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA) —one in particular— are also, or have been, serial online trolls, targeting mainly (but not solely) women, and with a sick glee. Some have now gone up the chimney or become actually/clinically insane, but others remain, making false accusations to police, regulatory bodies etc.

So Myerson tests whether any particular tweeter is a Jew? If anyone of a social-national viewpoint were to do that, Myerson and/or his friends would be straight down to the local police station to make a malicious complaint of either “racial harassment” or “grossly offensive” online posting.

Robinson is a half-Jew, so may not be completely impartial re. Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Robinson_(journalist).

On the other hand, some Zionist Jews think that Robinson is a little too fair-minded, noting Israel’s atrocities on air:

“They” never have a small problem; it is always “outrageous” (etc).

Karma applies to peoples and nations as well as individuals. Somewhere down the line, payback happens. Group karma. cf. Israel.

The rate of increase of the world population, so marked in the 19th and 20th centuries, has slowed to an effective halt. The above graphic shows that the fall in fertility and births is not confined to Europe.

Only in Africa, and a few parts of Asia (notably, Pakistan), are populations much increasing via births.

In the UK, the large increase in population over the past half-century has been (especially in the past 30 years) almost entirely by reason of unwanted mass immigration, much of it from Pakistan and other “brown/black” countries, and births to immigrants. Migration invasion.

Maria Zakharova quoted the famous ultimatum that could be heard on April 15 at the UN Security Council meeting where attacks on the nuclear power plant were discussed. –

“The collective West, led by the USA, continues to turn a blind eye to the crimes of the Kiev regime. The Western countries played along and literally exposed themselves and the Zelenskyi regime. They engage in blackmail, and blackmail related to nuclear energy,” emphasizes Zakharova.

Ukraine ignores US warnings to stop flights drones on Russian territory” The United States fears retaliatory strikes from Russia, but Kyiv is ignoring warnings from the United States to stop striking the Russian Federation, The Economist reports.

The US is concerned about rising oil prices, possible retaliatory strikes and an uncontrolled confrontation that could put Kyiv at a disadvantage. Serious concerns grew in late March when Russia caused major damage to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The attacks exposed gaps in air defense systems and vulnerability to the new Russian low-altitude cruise missile Kh-69, which destroyed the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant despite being within range of the Patriot air defense systems.”

Sharon Ruf Offer, a former representative of the Knesset, made a confession in the studio of Channel 14 of the Israel: Why don’t we tell people the truth?! We have lost the north of Israel. The damage that Hezbollah caused us is 6 times more than the war with Lebanon.

I want to cry. Who would have thought that Israel would fall now? Tens of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes six months ago. During this period, the number of cases of divorce, and violence increased.

Diary Blog, 17 March 2024, including the aftermath of my sentencing hearing

The aftermath of my sentencing hearing

I was expecting a storm (even if in a teacup) after my sentencing, rather as happened after I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016. The Crown Prosecution Service (or should that be Clown Prosecution Service?) also seem to have been expecting a great deal more interest from Press and public than there has been.

The CPS posted this:

A disbarred barrister who posted grossly offensive antisemitic material online has been sentenced.

Between May 2021 and April 2022, Ian Robert Millard persistently posted about his hatred of Jewish people online, while claiming he was simply exercising his freedom of speech.

Statements made by Millard included that ‘there is nothing wrong with being antisemitic’, that England would ‘be a great deal better’ with more antisemitism and suggestions that the Holocaust was ‘fake history’.

He also posted imagery which portrayed antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Working closely with Hampshire Constabulary, the CPS trawled through twelve months’ worth of evidence from Millard’s blog.

Unpicking the evidence, piece by piece, including one month of posts alone which totalled 450 pages, prosecutors were able to show the continuous barrage of offensive material – all of which needed to be considered by prosecutors to build the strongest possible case.

At trial, prosecutors utilised the evidence to prove Millard was not simply expressing his freedom of speech, but was engaged in a campaign of antisemitic hate, publishing grossly offensive material which breached the Communications Act.

Having been found guilty after trial of five charges of breaching the Communications Act, Millard, 67 and of the New Forest, was sentenced at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on 14 March 2024 and received a nine month Community Order.

Sophie Stevens, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor with CPS Wessex, said: “Antisemitism has a devastating impact on individuals and communities – we won’t hesitate to bring offenders of hate crime to justice.

“This was a complex prosecution which required many hours scrutinising the masses of online content that Ian Millard deemed perfectly acceptable.

[Crown Prosecution Service public/Press statement]

A few points about that.

Firstly, the malicious and politically-motivated pro-Israel group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, or “CAA” (effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy) have admitted on both their website and Twitter/X account that they brought political pressure to bear on the CPS to prosecute me for something/anything, including a letter written directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions by “Lord” Ian Austin, the notorious ex-MP. The “CAA” campaign against me has lasted a whole decade now.

Second, the words allegedly used on the blog were “…a lot better for a little more defensive antisemitism“. The CPS has left out that important qualifier.

Thirdly, imagine the waste of public money in which the CPS has indulged. Hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of blog material, examined minutely. A court process involving some half dozen days or part-days of hearing during 2023 and 2024. Instruction of outside Counsel to appear at each hearing etc.

Also, months of enforced activity by me as I fought to defend myself without any legal or financial assistance; a certain amount of stress, inevitably. The necessity to drive to Southampton several times, too.

The result? Slightly more severe than I had hoped (I was hoping for a conditional discharge or small fine of about £200), but far less severe than the “CAA” and its horrible supporters wanted to see. They really wanted the manacles on me, to quote the late Sir Roger Hollis.

So. 15 meetings with the Probation Service spread over the next 9 months. Also, a nearly £800 costs order and “surcharge” [see also https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J].

Notice how the CPS was obviously desperate to have the result of my case in the newspapers, even adding “Notes for Editors” to its statement.

The question now is whether the CPS will be pressured further by the “CAA” to take other action against me, particularly in respect of blog posts in late 2023 and early 2024 (after conviction but prior to sentence). Needless to say, all further attacks will be vigorously defended, should push come to shove.

Looking at the CPS statement, the old saying “it ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” comes to mind.

As for the blog, I have already announced that, while the blog will continue to be published daily, or near-daily, its content will inevitably have to change slightly, be more diplomatic etc. Also, I hope to shift the emphasis from comment more towards how to build for the future.

Naturally, in a situation where free speech is all but dead in this country, I cannot invite further politically-motivated prosecutions. I must tread the line, as did Sir Thomas More [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More], between (metaphorically, in my case) keeping my head on my shoulders, and staying true to principle and honour.

There have been a few tweets about my trial and sentence. The “no-one watches” Talk TV (part of the mass media empire founded by the ancient billionaire, Rupert Murdoch), tweeted thus:

https://talk.tv/top-stories/54441/ian-millard-antisemitic-antisemitism-convicted-posts-nazi

As one would expect from a Murdoch operation, there is dishonesty in that tweet. For one thing, the image and quotation is from my old Twitter/X account. The Jewish lobby or members of it had Twitter delete my account in 2018, almost 6 years ago, and the tweet probably comes from well before even that date.

I notice that Talk TV’s tweet has had some 3,400 views, yet only 9 people have “liked” it, and only 9 (presumably the same 9) have retweeted it. About a quarter of one percent. So somewhere between 99.5%-100% are either with me or are just not very interested in the story.

The tweet by the “Clown” Prosecution Service followed the same pattern. No less than 13,000 people have apparently viewed it, but only 85 have “liked” it, and even fewer (29) have retweeted it. 85 out of 13,000; about half of one percent. So —again— about 99% of people are either with me or are not terribly interested in what the CPS has to say.

Millard and the People!” (?) (and with apologies to Ceausescu).

I suppose that it proves how nervous the System is at the popular mood under the surface. People in the UK may be unaware of their own unconscious political preferences…

I noticed that one clown tweeter seems unable to read:

Ha ha. What an idiot.

One of the few other reply-tweets about the matter:

There were a couple of tweets from the individual below, a kind of online stalker, who even copied his pathetic whining tweet to the CPS and police:

That lunatic (he is actually a mental case of some sort, on medication) has been making silly and rude remarks about me for many years, and inciting various people, various organizations, the few who bother to read his tweets, against me.

If I had more money (well, it is just possible that I might hit the Euromillions lottery…), I should apply for a Norwich Pharmacal Order, thus have his identity and address confirmed (like others, he may not be quite as anonymous as he thinks anyway), and then take legal action against him. That would prove expensive for him…

For more about that lunatic, and others of similar type, see this blog post from 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/. In that article, I examined the strong links between “antifascism”, Zionism, and mental illness, linkages rarely if ever noted by the mainstream media.

This was tweeted too, by the “Searchlight” “organization” (one old “you know who” in an East London backroom):

Note that “Searchlight“, which has been tracking me since about 1975, is completely washed-up.

Their tweet (politely pretending that it is more than one individual…) has had (after 2 days) only 575 views, and only 5 “likes”. Malicious, but ultimately pathetic, idiot(s).

In fact, I see that “Searchlight” only has about 2,800 “followers” on Twitter/X. When I was expelled at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby in 2018, I already had over 3,000, and by now would have had probably at least 10,000 (which, of course, was why “they” had me expelled…).

This time round, there has been no interest by Sky TV, the Daily Mail (the scribbler whom I believe was in charge of my disbarment story in 2016 has left and is now the editor of…the Jewish Chronicle!) etc. Only the BBC, the “no-one watches it” Talk TV, and a small provincial newspaper which describes me as “disgraced barrister“. “Disgraced“? Now I think I know from (((where))) that description comes…

I may be disbarred, but am not disgraced except in the little minds of the “usual suspects” and the fools who listen to them.

Incidentally, there were no reporters at all at the sentencing hearing, so that “journalist” (stupid scribbler) has taken his “report” straight from the “CAA” and/or CPS.

There is a lot of news around at present: the Israeli mass slaughter of women and children in Gaza, the Russian elections, the now rather rapid destruction of the misnamed “Conservative” Party. Even in the area of so-called “far-right” “extremism”, on the very same day that I was sentenced (last Thursday), a supposed “far-right” or “neo-Nazi” young man was sentenced to over 2 years in prison for having done not very much.

In view of all that, the story about the retired barrister who said a few supposedly “grossly offensive” things about Jews etc on his blog (read by a fairly small number of people worldwide), and allegedly posted a few cartoons, hardly makes the cut.

I suppose that I should be grateful to, especially, the CPS and the “CAA”, as well as Talk TV, the BBC, and the various Jewish/Zionist and supposedly “antifascist” Twitter/X accounts, and a few small online news outlets, for their diligent work over the past days and months, spreading my words, or alleged words, and my views (or supposed views), so widely.

Their attacks on me, their reportage, and of course the whole recent prosecution of me, have brought my views to the attention of a wider audience by far than my modest blog had so far reached. Thank you.

Finally, I forgot to note that the main policeman (a uniformed constable) who has been involved in my “case” (since 2021), was in court for my sentencing.

I do not propose to name him here (despite his name having been read out in open court), and actually he seems to be generally an amiable young man, though seemingly rather misled ideologically, judging by his dogged snooping on my blog, and by his witness statements.

My point here is that was the same policeman whose “neighbourhood policing team” failed (as far as I know) to do much to deal with a spate of anti-social and acquisitive crime incidents in 2021-2023 in the relatively not-good neighbourhood where I now, perforce, live. Those incidents included the theft of a wheel from my own car in early 2023.

Putting it less politely, the Hampshire Constabulary proved to be utterly useless in doing their proper job.

So there we have it. Next stop— 15 meetings with the Probation Service…

I suppose that I should add a word about appeal to the Crown Court.

At present, I do not intend to appeal on either conviction or sentence.

The present political climate —and this was a political case, and I was charged as part of the UK’s present political repression on free speech— would make an appeal against conviction unlikely to succeed.

Appeals to Crown Court from the magistrates’ court are before a Circuit Judge, assisted by one or two magistrates. So no jury to whom to speak, or to persuade. As for appeal against sentence, the present sentence is not particularly severe. 15 days or part-days of meetings, and a financial impost. The maximum sentence would have been 6 months’ imprisonment (in reality, about 2-3 months).

For me, there would thus seem to be little point in appealing, even though I dispute that I was convicted correctly, or charged correctly.

Finally, I do have a crowdfunder in place to help pay for the £1,000 the case has cost me. Any and all donations gratefully received. Thank you.

[Update, 15 April 2024: I only today noticed that the “no-one watches” Talk TV has it on its website that I was “jailed” at my (March 2024) sentencing hearing! Ha ha! The stupid bastards at Talk TV cannot even get the most basic facts right.]

[Update, 9 June 2024: I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) “absurdly lenient” by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a “community order” with 15 “rehabilitation days”) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]

[Update, 13 September 2024: As of yesterday, I do not have to attend any further meetings with the Probation Service, despite not having actually attended very many: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/13/diary-blog-13-september-2024/. My sentence is therefore effectively at an end. “The usual suspects” ((( ))) will be fuming].

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/21/plantwatch-redwoods-amazing-recovery-california-wildfire

In August 2020, wildfire burned almost the entire Big Basin Redwoods state park in California, scorching ancient redwood trees, some dating back more than 1,500 years and among the tallest living things on Earth.

Redwoods are naturally fire resistant thanks to their thick bark, but the wildfire was so intense and flames so high the trees’ foliage was destroyed, even in tree canopies more than 300ft high.

It was feared the redwoods would never recover, but a few months later something incredible happened – many of the trees began sprouting tiny leaf needles from blackened trunks and branches, and two years later the forest had turned green.

Much of this fresh growth sprouted from buds under the bark and also deep inside the trees, some buds having lain dormant for more than 1,000 years.”

Saturday quiz

Damn. This week I was, for once, beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 8/10; I scored 7/10, and did not know the answers to questions 3, 8, and 9 (in fact, I should also have got no. 9 right, but I had forgotten about his existence).

Sam Melia and Laura Towler

[Laura Towler with her husband, Sam Melia, and their little child; another is expected within weeks, while Melia is in prison]

Most readers will know the facts of the case: Sam Melia sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years, of which he will probably have to serve 8-12 months, while Laura Towler struggles with her child —soon, two children— everyday life, her house (she may have a mortgage, I do not know), and her small business. Therefore, a crowdfunder was set up to help her at such a time of crisis. That fund has now reached, at time of writing, £58,972, and still rising. Excellent.

https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia

The monies raised will go towards helping the couple survive the year ahead, and get them back on their feet after Melia is released. In addition, no doubt a small part of the money will be directed to helping him while he remains in prison.

Anyone can send modest sums to those in prison, via an official programme, using a debit card: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. To use that service, you need the prisoner’s name, his official prison number, and his date of birth. I have no idea of the date of birth of Sam Melia, but Laura Towler, Mark Collett, or Patriotic Alternative would be able to supply it (I am myself unacquainted with the couple, or Patriotic Alternative people, so have no contact details).

Message about Sam Melia from Laura Towler

Laura Towler has posted a message about her husband’s present situation:

We can now write letters to Sam

I’ve just spoken to Sam. He is in HMP Leeds. He won’t be staying there for the whole of his sentence but it might take a while for him to move. He’s safe and has made friends. He’s been exercising and reading a lot. He says the worst thing (other than missing us) is that it’s quite boring, although the library is pretty good. He said he would appreciate letters from people to help pass the time. Please don’t get too political or the letter won’t get through.

Samuel Melia
A3370FC
HMP Leeds, 2 Gloucester Terrace, Stanningley Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS12 2TJ

You can include a stamped address envelope in the first letter if you want him to write back.

We can also send him books from their preferred suppliers and also email him. I’ll provide some more information on this shortly.

The “men behind the wire”

I also happened to see the following, which may have been written also by Laura Towler (if not, then by associates of hers):

I know I have posted about Sam a lot over the last few days but here are the addresses for Sven Longshanks and James Costello who are both serving time for the same public order offence as Sam. Sven will be out this summer hopefully but Costello still has over two years of his sentence left to serve, so he needs us the most.

It’s sometimes difficult to think about things to write as you can’t get too political but they are both intelligent men with an interest in history, literature and culture. They might appreciate a poem you like, information about what’s happening on the outside, or even just a message to say you are thinking about them and they are missed.

Incidentally, “Sven Longshanks” (imprisoned for having published internet podcasts) also has a crowdfunder, both to help him survive in prison and to get him back on his feet when released (expected to be this spring or summer): https://www.givesendgo.com/SupportSven.

Also incidentally, I myself am due to be sentenced this week, in my case in the magistrates’ court, and for the political offence of having breached the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission but still at present on the Statute Book).

Incidentally, many imagine that I just hate Israel and anything to do with it. Not so, as such. I like some of the Israeli town planning, and the efforts made to green the cities and towns; also, I like some of the modern architecture, and some of the agricultural, horticultural and hydrological techniques and projects (irrigation, de-salinization etc).

By the same token, I have only limited respect for many of the Arabs of the wider region (I have been to Egypt, Qatar etc several times, and, in the past, had occasional dealings with Kuwaitis and other types, as well as a few visits to Tunisia).

However, the Jews should never have been allowed or encouraged to take over Palestine and turn it into the state of Israel, and their brutal repression of the Arab inhabitants (including mass killings, deportations, and other “ethnic cleansing”) has been, in effect, a 76+ year war crime.

What goes around comes around“, as the Americans say, and I think that the time will come when Israel will face fleets of drones and missiles, numbered in the tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands.

Macron discussed with French politicians a possible French invasion of Ukraine.

The leader of the French Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, told reporters that the topic was raised at a meeting between the president and the heads of political parties.

According to him, Macron allowed the entry of French troops into Ukraine if the Russian Armed Forces break through towards Odessa or Kyiv.

“There are no restrictions and no red lines,” concluded Jordan Bardella (National Rally). “I arrived excited and left even more worried,” concluded La France insoumise coordinator Manuel Bompard,” writes L’Indépendant.

Also in Paris, they are now discussing issuing permission for French special forces to cross the Ukrainian border, to create a “strategic dilemma” before the Russian Federation. And French Foreign Minister Sejournet said that Kyiv has not yet asked Paris to send troops, but “nothing cannot be ruled out in the coming months.”

Ha ha! What’s that? Revenge for Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow, 212 years on? Madness.

I shall be sorry to see Paris destroyed, if it comes to that, even though it has become largely a poubelle (rubbish bin). France may have its force de frappe (independent nuclear deterrent), but if it ever uses it, Paris and all other major French cities will be annihilated.

The French discussions, though, do seem to give the lie to the outpourings of Grant Shapps and others. Macron is obviously not expecting a Kiev-regime advance in 2024; au contraire… he expects Russian advances upon Kiev and Odessa. So do I, though whether they will be in 2024 or 2025 (after the US and UK elections this year) is an open question.

God. Biden is in a world of his own. He really is gone…

In respect of the Israeli war crimes in Gaza as well.

They show their true character…

Yet “they” (both in Israel and outside Israel, inc. the UK), continue to whine about (and demand “reparations” for) what Germans, Poles, Ukrainians etc did or did not do to Jews in Eastern Europe, 80+ years ago.

The Harry Formerly Known As Prince, and Meghan Mulatta. What a pair.

Now that the late Queen fades from memory, it is time to move to a republic.

Also, people from poorer countries outside Europe can live off small amounts of food-money, because they are accustomed to making their money stretch. I have had to do it myself a few times in the past, but it seems to come naturally to those such as a Nigerian girl I met in the 1980s, when she was a tenant of someone I knew. She would go to the street market a mile or so away in Peckham (South London), buy rice or potato by the sack, cook it with some hot spices and sauce etc, maybe add some small amount of protein, or not even that, and bingo…dinner served.

In fact, I seem to recall the same was true of a West Indian girl, another tenant of the same landlord, and also in the 1980s. She had been sacked for theft by her employer, the wife of an MI5 officer (she denied that she had stolen anything, but was sacked anyway), and was another one with basically no, or very little, cash.

I myself am not naturally a thrifty person, but I have blogged in the past about how I have had a few (in the American word) “hardscrabble” times in my life. You adapt, one way or another…

Last week, I told you about the Labour Party’s plan to import divisive, America-style culture wars into Britain —how the party plans to hardwire a toxic woke ideology into our civil service, schools, universities, and prevailing culture.

This week, I’m going to tell you how Labour also plan to make their political and cultural revolution permanent —by taking power out of the hands of the elected government in Westminster, out of the hands of the masses, and giving it to unaccountable quangos and civil servants you will never be able to vote out of power.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable” [John F. Kennedy]

The present “Conservative” Government has to be removed, and the Con Party stamped on, but Labour under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is going to impose an “elected” dictatorship. It will be all but impossible to change that path by the usual Parliamentary/electoral methods.

The SNP is led by a Pakistani Muslim. Scottish Labour is also led by a Pakistani Muslim. What is strange is that Muslims only comprise 1.4% of the population of Scotland (about 75,000 out of 5.4M), yet two out of the three main System parties in Scotland have Muslim leaders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland#Population.

I favoured Brexit, but saw that it was (deliberately) mishandled from the start. A journalist in 2017 visited the civil service office that was meant to be planning for a smooth withdrawal, only to find it shut. That says it all.

“We are where we are”, in the commonly-heard phrase. For me, Britain’s main strategic move must be to withdraw from NATO before some lunatic starts a Third World War, and at the same time to pursue an independent course combined with a close friendship with the Russian Federation.

Russia can supply us with oil and gas at cheap rates, maybe even cost-price or below. It could save us.

Yet those mild anxious or protesting tweets have led to a flood of Twitter/X “woke” idiocy, as in the tweet below by one Andy Walsh:

Ignorance posing as wisdom…

Money, in vast amounts, wasted on the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic, on no-hope stuff such as “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), money wasted on Israel and the UK Jewish lobby, huge sums expended on the upkeep and health of millions of migrant-invader parasites, money in even greater amounts wasted on a largely-useless State educational system. Further vast sums spent on pointless “Defence” hardware.

As Goodwin says, all spent without much real benefit to the majority of UK residents, especially the real British.

As said earlier and previously, I shall be sorry to see Paris turned into a wasteland of irradiated ash, even if in recent years it has become rather a poubelle

The Russian Ministry of Defense publishes footage of the destruction of S-300 air defense missile launchers of the Ukrainian army using an Iskander missile in the area of ​​​​the city of Pokrovsk. Over the course of a month, UAF air defense systems and radars were systematically destroyed.”

Saturday quiz

This week brings a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 5/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, and 8.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13118755/Fertility-rate-plunges-time-low.html

Women are having fewer children than ever before, official figures revealed today. 

Office for National Statistics data shows the fertility rate — the average number of children a woman has — in England and Wales slumped to 1.49 in 2022. 

It marks the lowest figure since records began in 1938, laying bare the reality of the ongoing baby bust that threatens to cripple the economy. 

Not a single one of the 330-plus authorities in both countries has a fertility rate that is above ‘replacement level’, according to MailOnline analysis.

[Daily Mail]

When one considers that (overall) the blacks and browns etc are having children, the birthrate among white people (“the people formerly known as British”) is seen more clearly as being at a rock-bottom level.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13119039/MP-Bob-Stewart-conviction-racially-aggravated-offence-quashed.html

An MP has had his conviction for racially aggravated offense quashed after he told an activist to ‘go back to Bahrain.’

Bob Stewart, MP for Beckenham in south-east London, made the remark towards activist Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei during a row outside the Foreign Office’s Lancaster House on December 14 2022. 

Last November, Mr Stewart was convicted for a racially aggravated public order offence and was fined £600. Following the conviction, Mr Stewart lost the Tory whip and has since sat in the House of Commons as an independent. 

Now, following an appeal, his conviction has been overturned today at Southwark Crown Court.”

[Daily Mail]

One has to wonder how absolutely stupid are the police and Crown Prosecution Service that this was ever brought to a trial. Mad.

Incidentally, note that the Daily Mail wannabee “journalist” scribbler spells “offence” as “offense“, American-style, in the first line. Newspapers have declined in every way since the 1970s.

As for my own conviction under the very stupid Communications Act 2003, s.127 (trial was on 17 November 2023), I am due to be sentenced in a few weeks’ time. After that, I shall have 3 weeks in which to decide whether to appeal to the Crown Court.

Britain Occupied territory

For me, what is most alarming is that dim people like Hoyle can get to some of the highest-status positions in our country and society.

At least he is an animal-lover in his private life. I can approve of that.

Paul Golding/Britain First is only partly correct. While Islamism is a threat to the UK, so is Jew-Zionism, which is far more embedded in the power structure. Paul Golding always attacks the one but not the other, which may be one reason why Britain First has a poor electoral record; most recently, 1.6% at the Wellingborough by-election, only 8th out of 11 candidates.

At Wellingborough, Britain First’s 8th-placed position came after Labour, Conservative, Reform, LibDems, an Independent, Greens, and another Independent, only beating the Monster Raving Loony and two more Independents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellingborough_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Only one caveat: I do not know whether those numbers are inflation-adjusted.

By sending long-range “Taurus” cruise missiles to Ukraine, they will make Germany part of the Ukrainian conflict, German politician Sara Wagenknecht told the German media.

“You really think that if we deliver more weapons, the Ukrainians will be able to drive the Russians out of Crimea? Do you think Russia, a nuclear power, will allow that? If we bring war to Russia with German weapons, then we will also bring war to Germany,” she said.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahra_Wagenknecht. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahra_Wagenknecht#Refugee_policy. Interesting.

Sara Wagenknecht only finished her secondary education in 1988, a year before the collapse of the DDR (and, incidentally, the same year in which I myself saw the country, though only briefly), so she could not have been a member of the Aufklärung (the foreign intelligence component of the State Security apparat or “Stasi“). Had she been older, one might wonder.

Lee Anderson, and Ashfield (Derbyshire)

The maverick MP has been suspended from being under the Conservative Party whip.

Naturally, I do not agree with his statement that London is “run by Muslims”. Sadiq Khan is from a Muslim background, but has been pretty much in the Jew-Zionist pocket for many years.

It would be more accurate to characterize Sadiq Khan as “anti-white”.

As to Anderson himself, I suggest that he is trying to bolster his position vis a vis the General Election expected later this year.

Until 2019, Ashfield had always been won by Labour since its inception in 1955, with one closely-run by-electoral exception in 1977. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. “New Labour” and Gloria de Piero changed all that.

David Marquand, a former MP for Ashfield (1966-1977; he is still alive, at 89): “Originally a tentative supporter of Blair’s New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that “New Labour has ‘modernised’ the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition”, even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old “Labourite” tradition.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Marquand.

Marquand defected to the SDP and then was honourable enough to step down as MP, not contesting the by-election.

In fact, Marquand was himself rather intellectual:

Marquand addressed Britain’s relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain’s failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country’s developmental needs.[7] In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: “The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction”.[8]” [Wikipedia].

In fact, Ashfield is not quite as “safe Labour” as the history might suggest superficially. Gloria de Piero won in 2010 by a majority of under half a point (0.4%, 192 votes) from a LibDem.

While de Piero’s majority increased in 2015 (as the LibDems imploded), in 2017 she beat the Conservative candidate by less than one point (0.9%, 441 votes). An Ashfield Independent came third with over 9% of the vote.

In 2019, Lee Anderson won convincingly: 39.3% of the vote, followed in second (27.6%) by another “Ashfield Independent”, Jason Zadrozny [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Zadrozny], who has had a chequered political and personal history. In third place came Labour, with only 24.4%.

Zadrozny is going to contest the seat at GE 2024.

So far, apart from Anderson (who may or may not be standing as Conservative Party candidate, depending on whether he gets back the Conservative whip), only the Ashfield Independent and Reform UK are presently known to be likely to stand at GE 2024, but a full field is almost guaranteed. There may be a dozen or more candidates.

At first, I thought that Anderson could probably be written off as post-GE 2024 MP, but now am not so sure. He has now (whether by design or not) distanced himself from the unpopular Conservative leadership —and possibly from the equally-unpopular Conservative Party— is anti-EU, anti-migration invasion etc, and is now known nationwide. He must have at least a chance of retaining his seat. If he does, and if he also retains it as a “Conservative” MP, he might be one of 100 or even as few as 50 such MPs. Who knows what might then happen?

[Update, 13 October 2024: In the end, what happened at GE 2024 was that Lee Anderson stood as Reform UK candidate, and won handsomely with 42.8% of the vote. He is thus now one of 5 Reform UK MPs. The Labour candidate came a poor second with 29%; third place, with 15.7%, went to that Independent, Zadrozny, who faces yet another Crown Court trial soon, in February 2025: numerous charges of fraud and income tax evasion, as well as possession of cocaine): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s].
