[“NEW POST. This is how things fall apart. When you ask the hardworking British majority to pay billions in welfare for foreigners who do not work When you ask them to pay billions more for a policy of mass uncontrolled immigration they never voted for When you force them to do all this while even refusing to fix their broken borders and keep them safe And when you also cover-up the state importing thousands more people into their country This is how the social contract, the fragile relationship between the people and the state, starts to break down.”]

Conditions of service, and the overall s**t-state of the country in many respects mean that few want to volunteer, yet the woodentopped generals and retired senior officers are always talking in the newspapers or on TV about “preparing for war” and about conscription. I think that they may find themselves in that situation where “what would happen if there were a war, and no-one came?” (to the recruitment centres or to the war) (come to think of it, are there any “recruitment centres” anyway these days?).
Afghans are 20 times more likely than Brits to be arrested for rape and sexual assault

[“In the week that Jeffrey Epstein’s black book is back in the news, it’s worth thinking about how the Zionist state uses sexual habits as leverage in British politics. John Woodcock (the Lord’s own punchline in nominative determinism), who now styles himself ‘Lord Walney‘, was chair of Labour Friends of Israel. He was suspended from the Labour Party amid allegations he had sexually harassed a former female member of staff. He resigned from the party before these allegations could be investigated by the Labour Party and served as one of the State of Israel’s chief assets in Parliament, along with John Mann, Ruth Smeeth and Luciana Berger. Woodcock served the Zionist smear campaign against the Corbynite Left and was then returned to Parliament as a life peer by Boris Johnson in 2020 as a vote of thanks both from the State of Israel and the Conservative Party, for his services to both. The State of Israel has acted as a shield for Woodcock against these sexual harassment allegations, protecting him along the way and the elevating him to the Lords. In return, his loyal service to the Zionists is to foment Islamophobic hate campaigns against charities, mosques and other Muslim organisations. Woodcock should be investigated by the security services as a potential agent of a hostile and illegitimate foreign state which spies on the UK extensively and subverts our politics more than any other state. It is a wonder that he has not been prosecuted under the National Security Act. What is the legislation for if it is not going to be used to discipline individuals such as Woodcock? #DismantleZionism“]
I have written in the past on the blog about mentally-unstable sex-pest John Woodcock (who is now married to Spectator scribbler, and fellow depressive case, Isabel Hardman). See:
Woodcock is, of course, an enemy of the British people. He should never have been either “ennobled” (a ludicrous designation when applied to someone of his sort) or appointed as a paid governmental adviser. Thank God the bastard has now been sacked.
Evil Woodcock’s origins seem to have been concealed. One can find little about his real background, family, parentage etc.
Quite a few MPs and former MPs in the UK seem to have their full details, origins etc deliberately concealed. Democracy? Largely meaningless.
Woodcock once tweeted —critically— to me, about a decade ago, but was then advised by fake “socialist” (himself part-Jew, despite the Zionist Jews being hostile to him), Owen Jones, not to talk to me because I was, apparently, “a Nazi“…
In the US, they call that kind of display a “chimp-out”. London is becoming, once you leave the more wealthy areas, a jungle, and in the jungle live the feral denizens of the jungle.
A friend of mine once lived somewhere north of Manor House. She became upset when I referred to it as “bandit country“, and that was over 25 years ago! Incidentally, that lady eventually fled to the South Coast, as many have done.

If there is any reality to that, it will change UK politics forever. It might result in a Commons with maybe 450-500 Reform MPs, and the old Lib-Lab-Con System parties, together with Corbyn-Labour and the Greens sharing about 100 MPs, about 20-40 each (Greens about 5).
I was looking yesterday at a blog post I published about 4 years ago, I think in 2021, and in which I said something like “…and, somewhat to my surprise, Keir Starmer seems to be utterly clueless.” Well, was I right or wrong?
As I have often said, the UK is now about 20% non-white; England certainly is. The Labour vote is now largely a non-white vote (together with a vote by public service workers, esp. NHS). Almost all non-whites vote Labour if they vote at all.
Using Electoral Calculus, the numbers suggest a Commons with no less than 300 Reform MPs, 188 Labour, 62 LibDem, 44 Con (26 SNP, etc).

Nathan Otitodilchukwu, 18, and a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named, threatened to “torch” the pensioner before punching a hole in his window and pushing a firework into his home, the Old Bailey heard.
Depending on a number of variables, that might mean a Commons with 375 Reform MPs, and so a very large (50-60) real majority; 121 Lab MPs; 62 LibDems; 38 SNP; 25 Con MPs.

I was just perusing the online newspapers, looking at a few current crimes and trials. While doing that, I noticed the continuing trial (in fact, retrial) of one Constance Marten, whose retrial has been in progress for a month or so (the original trial stopped in summer 2024).
Obviously, the present retrial is in progress and so I cannot say anything by way of comment about the material facts or subject-matter. In any case, I do not know anything of the case, beyond what little I have read in newspapers or seen on TV news from time to time.
No, what struck me was something peripheral to the case.
On reading some accounts of the trial and retrial, I saw the photograph of one of the accused:
[Constance Marten, defendant]
I happen to have very good facial recognition skills. The picture reminded me slightly of someone I encountered a few times in the mid-1980s.
At the relevant time, about 40 years ago, I had a girlfriend who worked as an interpreter at a high level, working —inter alia— with people such as the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher (eg when Gorbachev visited the UK), and with organizations such as the U.N. Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) and various Soviet dance groups, including the Bolshoi.
Thus it was that I encountered a young woman, 20-something, who was also interpreting, but on a lower technical level. More general or social interpreting.
The Bolshoi touring ensemble was, appropriately, large, well over 300 in all, everything from dancers to costume people and even a few persons from the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Culture, i.e, KGB minders etc. The job of the last group was not really, or primarily, to prevent defections of the kind seen in the 1960s and 1970s, but to guard against anti-Soviet (mostly Jew-Zionist) protestors (re. Shcharansky and other refuseniki) and to stop people getting into trouble. For example, the famous choreographer, Grigorovitch [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yury_Grigorovich] once got into a lift in Dublin (I was already there and just about to push a button) when a harassed fat bully KGB type stormed into the lift and rudely took over, pushing the button required to get his (well-drunk) charge back to the right floor.
Such a large ensemble required several interpreters.
Incidentally, I never met Grigorovitch (as such), but always used his wife’s laminated Bolshoi Ballet clip-on lapel pass to get past the security lines and get in to see the shows (fortunately, the individual name was on the other side of the pass, and there was no photograph!). His wife was the prima ballerina, Natalia Bessmertnova [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Bessmertnova]. She was too grand to actually wear or carry her laminated pass.
Incidentally, and incredibly, Grigorovitch is still alive at age 98, despite the abuse his liver must have suffered over nearly a century.
So I met that young woman mentioned, who had the unusual name Amabel (apparently one more common in both the Middle Ages and the Victorian period). I cannot now be sure, but thinking back, I think her surname was Marten or Martin; I had forgotten that until now.
Amabel was a pleasant young woman, I think probably quite a nice person generally, and was from, I was told, a wealthy landowning family who had houses, including large country houses, here and there, both in England and Ireland. In fact she and her —I was told, rather socially unacceptable to her family— boyfriend spent much of their time “looking after” (as she told me) a family-owned country house in some obscure part of the Irish countryside. My own girlfriend’s take on that was that it kept the boozy Irish boyfriend away from the family’s social circle.
I met the boyfriend once, in the large hotel in Dublin where the Bolshoi were all quartered, and where I was (unofficially) also staying (in my case for free). He was all right, and bought me a pint of Guinness, but I could see why her family may have preferred to keep him at arm’s length. I am not good at guessing ages, but anyway some years, several years at least, older than Amabel, with heavy black spectacles, and plainly drunk at three o’clock in the afternoon. In his thirties, maybe late thirties.
I was told that Amabel had told my girlfriend that when she, Amabel, was in St. Petersburg (then still Leningrad), she had been touring the Hermitage [https://www.hermitagemuseum.org/?lng=en; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermitage_Museum] when she saw some old English china. Some pieces had a representation of a large country house on them and, as she excitedly recounted to my girlfriend “...it was our house!” (pronounced “ower hice“…), referring to the family’s main seat, in rural Dorset.
Well, I got on rather well with Amabel on the very few times we met (I think only on that tour), and may have occasionally gently mocked her “upper class” background and social circle. Her (I think younger) sister, whom I met once somewhere, in England, I think, was a rather cold formal person (I thought), supposedly a one-time girlfriend of Prince Andrew (she eventually married a merchant banker).
When the Bolshoi ballerinas were relaxing, some were taken to Stratfield Saye, the seat of the Dukes of Wellington, halfway between Reading and Basingstoke, where a former schoolfriend of Amabel happened to be either the Duchess or the wife of the son of the then Duke, and who later succeeded to the title. I think the latter, thinking about it. A favoured few were allowed to ride some of the horses from the stables there.
[main entrance to Stratfield Saye House]
[part of Stratfield Saye House, Hampshire]
After 1985 or 1986, I never saw Amabel again, and I have no idea at all how her life went. The only time I even heard of her was when she and her sister were mentioned (c.1989) by a forthright and wealthy lady who was helping (with others) to save the Rudolf Steiner Bookshop in Museum Street, near the British Museum, in London (that bookshop had to close, but the Rudolf Steiner Book Trust, which I established, and of which I was an unpaid director (with anthroposophist Nelson Willby and his American wife Melissa) for a couple of years, established Wellspring Books, which had premises in New Oxford Street for many years, and which still exists online. https://www.wellspringbookshop.co.uk/.
I remember that forthright lady partly because she would refer to her husband, a Jewish businessman, as “a six-pointer“, as if he had been bred from an unusual breed of animal.
Even that was 35 or 36 years ago now.
It was only today that I thought to see whether Amabel was related to that defendant. Turns out that she almost certainly was or is. The Dorset “hice” seems to be Crichel House (or “hice”):
The house was owned by one Napier Marten or Napier Sturt Marten [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Marten], born about 2-3 years after me, in 1959. He has or had no fewer than five sisters, one of which is or was Amabel Marten. He also has four children, one of whom is Constance Marten.
The house and 400 acres of the estate land was sold in 2013 for £34M to an American billionaire hedge-fund operator, one Richard L. Chilton.
Well, there it is. Looks like the Amabel I encountered a few times in the mid-1980s is or was (I assume she is still around, but who knows?) the aunt of the accused, Constance Marten. Small world.

(scroll down until you reach the bit about Amabel Marten and her husband, one Kieran (or Ciaran) Clarke etc; he apparently died in 2004 at the age of 52, and may or may not have been the person I met in Dublin in or about 1985 or 1986. It seems that the above house was only bought in 1990 or 1991).
