Why stop at old people and the terminally ill? Why not disabled people? They cost the state a lot. What about poor people? What about people with average or below average IQ? It’s a genuinely disgusting – but completely rational – worldview. Where utilitarianism can lead. https://t.co/EJLYZBVQkR
As noted on yesterday’s blog, what you get with Matthew Parris is the logical but spiritually-empty argument of the culturally-unattached, atheistic, metro-affluent gay, which Parris is.
If you had to characterize Matthew Parris symbolically, it would be a minimalist painting of an empty room. Something like this:
Very logical, very clear, but not very comfortable or pleasant.
Parris is not always wrong in what he writes, but often is, as in his assisted-dying comment.
Having said that, the ageing of the population is a challenge. We see that the birth-rate in Europe and across Eurasia is dropping to, has already dropped to, below replacement level.
The birth-rate is falling in the European-populated countries (my main concern), but also in almost every other part of the world, except Africa and a few parts of the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia.
The facile, pro-immigration argument is that “Europe is not having enough children to continue its life and economy— bring in immigrants from… [wherever, but Africa and parts of Asia are usually mentioned]”.
That is like saying “the pilot and co-pilot have both had fatal heart attacks— get the cabin crew to fly the plane.” It just does not work, and cannot work.
It may be that via a concatenation of circumstances, the European peoples will quite soon have to start again, to build a new foundation for social and economic life.
It comes to mind that the ultimate reason for the falling birth-rate almost worldwide may be because so many human spirits were, in the past century or more, rushing into incarnation in order to experience the high-water mark of the industrial culture of the 20th/21st centuries. That rush is now at an end. The fact that it is mainly the Africans who are still being born in large numbers may reflect the fact (if it is a fact) that they were last in incarnation very long ago. Speculative, admittedly.

What Matthew Parris has said is basic Tory policy. You only need look back at the past 14yrs to see that there is one common factor and that is the deaths of those who are 'economically inactive'. The disabled, the poor, the pensioners, the aged, and the infirm all targets.

Can’t you see how this is the result of how politicians talk about disabled people? Labour have been very clear that they’re going to push disabled people off benefits, that only ‘hard workers’ will be valued when you’re in power. A lot of us are scared of the next parliament…
No wonder, then, that the new breed of “Labour” political drones and freeloaders think first of all about how to increase their own physical security. They are afraid of the people they claim to represent. Rachel Reeves. Liz Kendall. Others. All the Labour Friends of Israel MPs.
Was there ever a better ex. of a useless unproductive person than Matthew Parris? he's produced nothing of value his entire life, therefore he shld be first in line to be culled. But of course, he doesn't mean people like HIMSELF, he means poor ppl & disabled ppl. Revolting.

I have had the misfortune to meet many men within the prison system, like the suspected Beckenham attacker, Rakeem Thomas.
Young, black or ethnic men who have no respect for British values, the police, or white people in general, especially women.
“I have had the misfortune to meet many men within the prison system, like the suspected Beckenham attacker, Rakeem Thomas. Young black or ethnic men who have no respect for British values, the police, or white people in general, especially women. They do not fear arrest or prison. While in prison, many continue their criminal activities by selling smuggled drugs, particularly spice.
These men pose a threat to our society, and in London, Mayor Sadiq Khan, a weak and ineffectual man, allows them to wreak havoc, destroying lives and terrorising communities. In 2018, he wanted to reduce stop and search measures. David Lammy often criticises this approach as disproportionately targeting black people, despite higher rates of violent crime committed by Afro-Caribbean and other ethnic groups in London.
Rakeem Thomas pulled a Rambo-style knife on a ticket inspector in December last year, was sentenced to 6 months, and was back on the streets only 12 weeks later. Did he learn? Did the system work for him? Was probation effective in monitoring and protecting those around him? No, shortly after his release, he is arrested for allegedly trying to kill someone. What did they do, ask him the time or look at him in the wrong way?
There are hundreds like him are in prison, awaiting release to resume their destructive behaviour.
Hundreds more free and prowling our streets. Labour proposes leniency for such individuals, avoiding even basic searches. Having lived amongst these people, I can tell you that they are vile, ruthless and dangerous individuals. They are beyond rehabilitation and should be locked up for life. Yet, under Labour’s policies, they seem to be heading, unchecked and protected, to a town near you.

“Iain Duncan Smith says if we vote for Reform, it’s like giving Labour a big win. I like IDS, but he’s telling us something we already know.
The truth is, the Conservatives have left us no choice. They didn’t fight for us or Brexit. They barely got us through COVID in one piece and just gave up on everything we fought for. They should have replaced Sunak with someone who’d really battle for our country. Now, we’re stuck.
If we vote for Reform, it helps Labour destroy Brexit and the country. But staying with the Tories feels like they’ve already given up, and with the rabble we have running it now, we won’t see the UK we all want anyway.
This country is falling apart, the streets are like the wild west, and it’s open season for illegals to come here and bleed the country dry and commit the most horrific crimes.
We know that under Labour, this is just going to get worse; they will pander to them and welcome them with open arms. You may as well burn every Union Jack because the country will be finished. Starmer may be the leader but the hard Left are waiting in the wings, ready to take over.
So, what do we do? It’s a horrible feeling, an unbelievable nightmare that seems absurd given the majority that Boris won. Yes, a vote for Reform is a vote for hope and what we believe in, but it’s giving us Labour.
They cannot win, the Tories, in the state they are in, cannot win. WE cannot win, whatever we do. We will be stuck with a huge majority Labour government for 10-15 years, the UK won’t survive the absurd wokery, anti Britishness and open arms to the masses.
What kind of hell are we subjecting our children and grandchildren to? The simple matter is the Tories have let us down, and now it seems like our Brexit dreams are just slipping away because they didn’t stand strong when it mattered.
There’s still time; there could be a plot twist coming just around the corner, but it will need the true right of the Conservatives to look themselves in the mirror and remember the people of the United Kingdom, who and what we are, what we fought for, and what we expected of them. It will need a handful of actual patriots to stand tall and reunite the whole right of UK politics before it’s too late. If that doesn’t happen, then Brexit and all the freedoms and hope we fought for are dead, regardless of who we vote for. How did they let this happen to our once beautiful country?“
Well, I agree with much of that. Not all. For one thing, Dunce Duncan Smith should be put on trial and receive the just measure of his deeds. Also, Starmer is just a puppet of the Israel lobby; at best useless, at worst a soon-to-be “elected” tyrant.

I doubt that most of that relates to the Gaza slaughter as such; probably more to do with the high Israeli (Jewish) losses in the field, and the fact that much of the world now thoroughly despises Israel and its population. That, and the fact that, after nearly six months, the Israelis have still not achieved anything that looks like “victory”, despite their overwhelming firepower, their devastation of urban and residential areas, and the death toll visited upon tens of thousands of Gazan civilians.

We did everything to ensure that there were no options for a sudden enemy entry,” said Ground Forces Commander Alexander Pavlyuk.“
If Kiev becomes a bastion, almost impenetrable, the advancing Russian forces may either bypass the region, or simply reduce Kiev by means of air power.
Whatever the outcome of that, it seems clear that the Kiev-regime forces are expecting a large-scale Russian advance in 2024-2025, an advance which they have, and will have, no means of countering.

“Taurus missiles could have a significant impact on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, – Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski supported Ukraine in its desire to obtain the Taurus and accused Germany of indecisiveness in supplying new weapons systems to the war zone.
“Thanks to cruise missiles from other countries, the Ukrainians have already convinced the Russians to move their logistics bases, such as ammunition depots, far behind the front line. And the German missiles will force them to move even further,” he said.“
As for those missiles, yes, they would assist the Kiev regime’s war effort, but its war is now lost anyway— insufficient soldiers, arms, and ammunition, and collapsing morale. If Germany supplies such missiles, not only Kiev might become a major target for —far more powerful— Russian missiles, but also other cities; even Berlin itself. Don’t stoke the fires of war.

George Galloway may heroically stand up for the Palestinians, but will he stand up for the British who are being rapidly replaced in Britain? Will he stand up for Sam Melia who has been unjustly imprisoned for simply speaking out about it? If not, he is a total fraud. https://t.co/AjkObUAvj2
Galloway is, to some extent, a kind of fraud and, to the extent that he is not, stands mainly for the Muslim bloc, not for white people in the UK (the people formerly known as “British”). He used to block me on Twitter, when I still had a Twitter account (the Jewish lobby, after a long campaign, had Twitter expel me in 2018).
I was amused and pleased to see Galloway’s recent by-election victory, which I anticipated on the blog, but he has nothing to say to the British people.

Not that I fasted like the Arabs, but I ate and drank mostly at home; very occasionally, I would go in late afternoon to the (deserted) McDonald’s in Mamoura Beach, a short walk away, for a “Filet-o-fish” or apple pie; they would seat me in a place which could not be seen from the street. McDonalds is a “restaurant” very rarely used by me in the UK, but that suburb had no other cafes.

“NATO is losing experienced soldiers due to the low attractiveness of military service Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict, NATO troops are faced with a personnel shortage.
This is not so much about recruiting new recruits, but about retaining soldiers and officers who are already in service, writes Politico. European countries that rely on professional militaries are trying to make their armed forces more attractive. But this is difficult to achieve in times of low unemployment, fierce competition from the private sector and widespread use of remote work, the publication explains.
A recent report presented in the German parliament showed that 1,537 soldiers left the Bundeswehr in 2023. In addition to increasing layoffs, the German army has to deal with dilapidated infrastructure, the repair of which could cost about €50 billion, Politico notes.
French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu admitted that the difficulty of “retaining” personnel exists in many allied countries. Paris and some other NATO members hope to stimulate the military with higher salaries and social guarantees, the article notes. Money does play a significant role in keeping people in the military. But the problem is that the conditions of service in NATO armies are not that attractive. After all, chronic overtime, the inability to get home for many months and a lack of days off are commonplace there, Politico emphasizes.“
If NATO were to stop interfering in Ukraine, the Middle East, and elsewhere, that shortage of personnel would not even be a problem. Meanwhile, almost all NATO states are suffering from non-European migration-invasion, and no amount of new or old soldiers will stop that, because the NWO-ZOG political leadership is encouraging mass immigration into the European space.

By 2016, Ayesha Hazarika had picked up an MBE, been proposed but not confirmed for nomination for a peerage, was somehow inescapable on msm TV and radio politics shows for several years and, after having been vocally anti-Corbyn, was nominated for a peerage by Israel-puppet Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, finally being elevated to the (now surely totally devalued) House of Lords in 2024, at the age of 48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayesha_Hazarika,_Baroness_Hazarika

“Police officers in Scotland are being given training to target social media posts, including re-tweets, of material deemed “threatening and abusive.”
Under the county’s new hate crime law, actors and comedians are not given a free pass to make jokes about sensitive subjects that offend people, either. The new training provided to officers, which was leaked to The Herald, requires police officers to go after anyone who produces material deemed “threatening and abusive,” which can also be communicated through “public performance of a play.”
Under the new hate crime law, people who make fun of or misgender trans people, make racial jokes or criticisms of certain religions, or criticize migrants can be prosecuted.
“The different ways in which a person may communicate material to another person are by: displaying, publishing or distributing the material, for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc., either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”
The hate crime law goes on to state that “giving, sending, showing, or playing the material to another person” listing examples such as “through online streaming, by email, playing a video, through public performance of a play.” So repeat a joke you heard online, or show someone a spicy meme or commentary of a transgender person or mass migration on your livestream, and, and you too will be arrested.

“HMRC has sparked fury by announcing it will permanently close tax helplines for six months and let 100 customer service staff work a three-day week over the summer.
Taxpayers will not be able to call the tax office for help with their returns from April 8 until September 30, HM Revenue and Custom has today announced.
The move comes just weeks after the Commons Public Accounts Committee of MPs condemned HMRC’s customer service for hitting an ‘all-time low’.
New figures showed how almost 1million calls went unanswered in January – typically the busiest month of the year for the service, with taxpayers rushing to file for self-assessment tax returns without triggering fines for lateness.”

Having said that, when I had (historical) tax problems and had to engage with the Revenue, well over a decade ago, especially in 2010-2011, I was quite frankly amazed to see how utterly shambolic the HMRC “service” actually was. It’s an overused term, but it was “Kafka-esque” to a degree I would not have believed had I not experienced it myself.
So now it is actually worse? Hard to believe. The one comfort I have from that very stressful period many years ago is that, soon after I got off the hook, and during the Cameron-Levita/Osborne “austerity” programme, most if not all of the HMRC staff that had harassed and annoyed me, and created problems for me, lost their jobs. Suck on that…
Still, all’s well that ends well…my income is now so low that the shambles of administration in that “service” need not concern me. My problems with “the taxman” were settled to my satisfaction in 2012.

IF enough of the public had backed these men they wouldn't be in jail. The problem is when we act we need to do so in our thousands.
“Eight men have been sentenced over their involvement in violent disorder after trouble flared at a hotel housing asylum seekers. The court had heard there was “ill feeling” in the area following a video on social media which appeared to show an asylum seeker asking a 15-year-old girl for her phone number and for a kiss. Violence broke out outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, Merseyside, last year which was providing temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
Brian McPadden, 61, of Kirkby, was jailed for three years and six months at Liverpool Crown Court.
There were gasps from the public gallery as he was jailed. Thomas Mills, 47, who brought a banner to the protest urging people to shout to get the asylum seekers out, was sentenced to two years and eight months.
Paul Lafferty, 42, was handed the same sentence while Jonjo O’Donoghue, 21, of Liverpool, was sentenced to three years and six months in a young offenders institution. Former British Army soldier Liam Jones was sentenced to 27 months while John Tippler, 59, was jailed for two years.
Warren Cullen, who was on a community order at the time of the protest, was jailed for 20 months. The judge gave Harry Boynton a 16-month suspended sentence along with 200 hours of unpaid work.“

“And storms are roaring in their race
From sea to land, and land to sea,
Their raging forms a fierce embrace,
All round, of deepest energy.
The lightning’s devastations blaze
Along the thunder’s crashing way;
Yet, Lord, your messengers keep praising
The gentle movement of your day.”
[Goethe, Faust, The Prologue in Heaven]
There is a gradually building momentum across the world: Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, and even in Europe; something big building, as when a huge wave starts to swell offshore. It has not yet crashed onto that shore, but it will crash, with huge inevitability, and huge consequences.
Crowdfunder: thank you
Thank you, those who donated today, and all those who have donated to help me and the fight for freedom and justice.
Well, this week I am back on winning form— 6/10, compared to political journalist John Rentoul’s 5/10. I very nearly got more, but could not bring the answers to questions 7 and 10 to mind for some reason; I had no idea about question 5, and guessed wrong on question 9.
Announcement
Regular readers will please be aware that, despite my trial, conviction, and sentence in respect of alleged breaches of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, this blog will continue to be published.
I shall blog later (probably later today) about the trial (held in November 2023) and sentencing hearing (held 14 March 2024).
The blog will continue to be published, but the style will have to change, inasmuch as my freedom to express views and to explain current and historical events has inevitably been restricted by the trial and sentence.
I am not in fact under any greater legal prohibition now than I was a year ago, but it will be readily understood that my having been convicted does apply somewhat of a chilling effect on my freedom to write what I want, or in such terms as I should prefer.
The “usual suspects”, and their dupes in the police and Crown Prosecution Service, will now be watching and “monitoring” (spying and snooping on) my blog in even greater detail than was previously the case.
They may think that they have scored a narrow victory “on points”, as the sport people say; I say merely that we shall see…
Like Sir Thomas More, I shall express my views and opinions in compliance with current law (however misguided and abused that law may be), so far as I can do so without compromising principle and honour.
Quite apart from that, I think that, in the circumstances of repression and “control” in which we (in the UK and some other countries) live, all social-national people have to look beyond the mere expression of views and the mere analysis of events to actually accomplishing the germinal basis of a different and more advanced society.
[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.]

Talking point
[from the Daily Telegraph]
“A former Nato commander predicts our future – and it looks terrifying.
Ever since Erskine Childers’s 1903 novel The Riddle of the Sands urged the British government to treat Germany, not France, as the leading threat of the new century, thrillers have often been co-opted as a means of warning policymakers about under-appreciated perils – with the advantage that such a book may be more likely to keep the reader awake than a dispassionate report.
Three years ago, the novelist and decorated ex-Marine Elliot Ackerman collaborated with former Nato Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis on a political thriller called 2034.
The novel imagines – or predicts; we’ll see – that in the next decade a complacent America will suddenly find its military technologies outclassed by those of its rivals, and when pulled into a conflict with China in 2034, will resort to tactical nuclear strikes, resulting in the tit-for-tat annihilation of Shanghai and San Diego.
The book ends on the brink of a new world order, with a truce called but the US and China so badly damaged that India and parts of Africa are able to vie with them for superpower status.
Now, Ackerman and Stavridis have dusted down their crystal ball for a sequel: 2054. This time, the threat facing humanity isn’t nuclear destruction, but the event that keeps futurists awake at night, “the Singularity”, defined here as “an ‘intelligence explosion’, the equivalent of thousands of years of biological evolution crammed into months or even weeks when machine and human learning [will] integrate into a single consciousness”.
The Singularity may bring about such advantages as immortality, if you’re happy to have your brain uploaded into a mechanical super-body: useful in a future in which pandemics are commonplace. But it’s going to be bad news for the enemies of whichever nation or corporation wins the race to develop the tech.“
A question which has concerned me since I first read predictions of what seemed to be possible human/robot melding in then-unpublished manuscripts by Rudolf Steiner and Valentin Tomberg.
As far as I know, the relevant Steiner manuscripts, and probably also the Tomberg ones, are still unpublished. I do not know whether they might be in that online archive. Probably not. I read them well over 40 years ago, in a basement, from dusty files containing brittle old typescript.

That is not to say that nothing is happening in the UK, but it is happening under the surface, as in all police states; for that is what the UK is becoming. Not a full police state, as yet; very much (usually) a “velvet glove” (“iron fist in velvet glove”) one.
The direction of travel, though, is pretty clear, looking at what happened during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic.
Most of the population complied with every last stupid, silly, pointless, made-up-on-a-whim, completely ridiculous “rule” invented by “Boris”-idiot, Little Matt Hancock and the misnamed “SAGE” committee (I always called it “DUMB”, i.e. “Department Under Matt and Boris”): “the Rule of Six”, “social distancing” of 1, 2, or 3 metres, the facemask nonsense etc.
Most people complied with being shepherded about in, or outside, supermarkets by bossy “security” dogsbodies or insolent little shop-girls. How the latter must have hated having had to give up instructing shoppers where to stand and walk, and having had to return to their usual routine of filling shelves and serving customers, rather than barking at them…
Quite a number of members of the public, either from misplaced fear, or from sheer malice, were willing to “report” (denounce, as it was always called in the Soviet Union under Stalin) their neighbours for “crimes” such as taking a ride in the car or on a motorbike, or having a few friends over for a drink at home.
The very compliant ones, and the enthusiastic collaborators, can be written off. Useless people. Our interest, at this stage, is in the non-compliant part of the population. They may still have some fight in them.

“Former head of the Czech intelligence service: Russia is crushing Ukraine, heading for victory.
Russia is systematically destroying the Armed Forces of Ukraine, thanks to its industry and logistics, and the West is unable to oppose it, said the former head of the Czech military intelligence service, General Petr Pelc, in an interview for “Radio Universe”.
“Russia is crushing Ukraine in a slow and systematic way. We all send it money, part of which disappears somewhere, part does not even reach Ukraine, and thus we only prolong the agony and increase the number of dead people,” Peltz believes. – “
Weapons and soldiers win battles, and industry and logistics win wars. That’s all. The question is what we call a military victory. In two years of this armed conflict, Russia increased the productivity of its military-industrial complex 15 times. We are not for that, of course capable ,” he stated.“
As I have always said, short of a palace revolution in Moscow followed by complete anarchy, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.
My recent trial and sentencing hearing
Background
On 30 November 2023, I was tried under Communications Act 2003, s.127 in respect of 5 counts of having breached the said Act by having allegedly posted 5 pages of this blog.
In fact, only small parts of those 5 pages were alleged to have been “grossly offensive” (a few comments, remarks and cartoons).
To put the accusations into context, today’s blog post is number 1,799; tomorrow’s will be number 1,800. 1,800 blog posts published since November or December 2016.
Even taking the last few years, there have been blog pages posted almost every day, at least 1,000 in the past 3 years. I stood accused of having posted 5 pages, out of which pages about 2% of the content was supposedly “grossly offensive”.
I do not propose to go into the decade of persecution of me engaged in by Jewish Zionists, pro-Israel Jews. Anyone interested in the background can find it on the blog easily enough via the search box. Suffice to say that there has been a decade of false complaints and reports to police, politicians, professional regulators etc.
The organizations persecuting me (and many others, from Al Jazeera TV to David Icke, to Alison Chabloz, to various social-national political figures) have been the Campaign Against Antisemitism [“CAA”] and UK Lawyers for Israel [“UKLFI”]. The memberships or supporter-cadres tend to overlap to a degree.
I was wrongfully and (as it later transpired) unlawfully disbarred in 2016. I was later invited to re-open the matter, but declined, partly because I might have been re-instated at the Bar but fined heavily; in any case, the Bar is now a dustbin as far as I am concerned.
Various malicious and false (based on lies) complaints were made about me to the police from about 2012. All such complaints were from CAA-connected Jewish individuals. Not one was upheld, but I was subjected to two “voluntary” police interviews and a number of insolent telephone calls from police drones.
The last such lying complaint about me was made in 2021 by one Stephen Silverman, who grandly styles himself “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “CAA”. My account of that can also be found on the blog. That complaint was thrown out by the Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] in early 2022, but the “CAA” persisted in trying to get the matter re-opened via the so-called “victim’s right of review”.
In a clear misuse of their powers, the CPS, having informed me that I would not be prosecuted for the (completely untrue) “racially-aggravated harassment” of Silverman (for which there was no evidence whatsoever), dropped that potential charge, but then (a year later) charged me of having posted 5 “grossly offensive” pages from this blog. Though never arrested, I was charged by post early last year, 2023.
The “CAA” are still tweeting and scribbling on their website that they have pursued me for 7 years (in reality, longer), and that my “case” was only brought to court after “Lord” Ian Austin (former Labour MP) wrote directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions to demand that I be prosecuted.
The prosecution of me was purely political.

Once again, the CPS dragged its feet and only acted after we applied pressure.
So far, in the past days, no tweet from them about my sentence, which they no doubt think too light.
The trial, and later sentencing hearing
The trial took place over one day in November 2023. It was presided over by District Judge [stipendiary magistrate, in the formerly-used title] Greenfield at Southampton Magistrates’ Court. I represented myself.
The old saw has it that “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client“. Very true words, but I had reasons for doing so. Firstly, I have not been, nominally, a barrister for many years, and not a practising barrister for about 16 years.
I have not been involved in criminal law (except some corporate “crime” and international extradition matters) for even longer, since the early/mid 1990s. I was therefore treated more loosely by the Court, as being a non-lawyer. Also, I have little but contempt for the spineless Bar of today, and would not wish to be represented by one of them, even though in some respects I might have been better off having an advocate who was current on the law and practice of the criminal courts. I undoubtedly made mistakes in my Court presentation etc.
I found the judge to be generally courteous, eminently fair in most respects, and willing to put the rather poor police and CPS case to the test where he felt that it was particularly weak.
The judge was, however, unwilling to listen to argument about why I had even been charged, i.e. the obvious (and now admitted) political pressure brought to bear on the CPS, which had caved in to pressure from the Jewish/Zionist lobby (as the “CAA” itself admits on its website and Twitter/X account).
The judge (fairly enough, in a sense) made the point that I could go to the High Court on a judicial review application, work that I once did as Counsel, about 30 years ago. That would have had the effect of automatically staying the criminal prosecution, possibly for a year or more. Yes, in theory, but someone on his own, without money? Difficult.
Silverman from the “CAA” was in Court, but he was not a witness, and gave no evidence; just sat at the back of the Court. Afraid of being cross-examined, no doubt, and as I had pointed out in preliminary documentation.
I have no idea why the police never charged Silverman with, at very least, wasting police time over his demonstrably false accusation that I had “racially and/or religiously harassed” him in 2021, which brought two police drones to my door (on my birthday, at that) and effectively compelled me to attend two “voluntary” interviews (the first called off for technical reasons when I had already attended).
In my view, Silverman could have been charged with perversion of the course of justice: “Perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation are serious offences that undermine the administration of justice by falsely accusing people or withholding crucial evidence thus potentially damaging police investigations and wasting courts’ time” [Sentencing Council].
As in other aspects of this case, there are serious questions to be answered around the role of Silverman and the “CAA”, and his/their apparent influence over the police and CPS, but as matters stand they remain unanswered and may remain unanswered.
Reverting to the trial itself, I had been intending to make a submission at “half-time” (after close of the Prosecution case) of “no case to answer”, and on at least two grounds, but the judge (very fairly) pre-empted that (because I was treated as a non-lawyer and unrepresented by a practising advocate), and did it for me, in effect, by grilling Prosecution Counsel (instructed by the CPS) for a bit, before retiring to consider the matter over the lunchtime adjournment.
Sadly for me, the judge decided that the case could continue (I think that it was touch-and-go), so it did. I should not have bothered to give evidence but did (a mistake; I was very tired), and was briefly though not much cross-examined.
The judge gave a fairly brief summing-up and, in my now almost-lay opinion, said one or two things that seemed to me to provide possible appeal points, before convicting me on all 5 counts. A short discussion about potential sentence level then occurred between judge and Prosecution Counsel, and I had to get up and politely insist that I thought that another view was possible about level of sentence; and that was that. Adjourned for 3 months.
The matter reconvened in early 2024 and was adjourned after the Prosecution applied to ask for a Criminal Behaviour Order restricting my blogging slightly.
The sentencing hearing took place on 14 March 2024. The sentencing judge (District Judge/magistrate), District Judge Callaway (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) presided, District Judge Greenfield having in the intervening period been gazetted and appointed to the Circuit Bench as His Honour Judge Greenfield (now sitting at Reading County Court).
I have to say that I found the sentencing judge, D.J. Callaway, to be as generally fair and courteous as had been the trial judge, D.J. Greenfield.
I had drafted in advance a Defendant’s Argument on Sentence, examining the relevant law as well as my own circumstances, which the sentencing judge was kind enough to say “was very well put together“, if I recall his words correctly. Maybe I still have the remnants of the barristerial skills that (if I may immodestly remember) led some (though not all!) judges to commend me in Court all those years ago. A different world…
The cutbacks in court funding led to one farcical situation when it transpired that the sentencing judge had not seen the long email (about various other matters), and which I had emailed about 10 days in advance of the hearing, requesting that it be printed out and supplied to the judge.
Not only that, the very efficient Clerk of the Court was unable to find the email at all. Fortunately, Prosecution Counsel, not present in person but appearing like a disembodied spirit via video link (something I had never seen before), and on a small TV high up on a side wall, was able to forward the email (which I had copied to the CPS as a courtesy).
The Prosecution’s application for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me re. my blogging was refused, the judge agreeing, in effect, with me that the proposed Order had been so badly-drafted that it would be impossible to enforce and anyway added nothing useful.
The CPS really are a bunch of clowns; not even honest clowns, looking at the way I have been treated over the past two and a half years.
My submission on sentence, that it should be a conditional discharge, or small fine, was not upheld by the judge. Prosecution Counsel, who on the previous occasion had intimated that the CPS were looking for an uplift on sentence based on the idea that my case was a “hate crime”, despite there being no actual victim (accepted by the trial judge and the CPS at and prior to trial), agreed with the sentencing judge that a “lower level community order” would be the correct penalty.
I was sentenced to a “community order” (akin to the “probation” of former years), which involves 15 meetings with the Probation Service, spread over 9 months, so about one meeting every 2-3 weeks.
In addition, I am to pay a total of nearly £800 in costs, including a notional “surcharge”. Money that I do not have right now.
Crowdfunder
In relation to the above-mentioned costs, I have just set up a crowdfunder. If anyone can help, either with a money donation, or via sharing the crowdfunder link on social media or elsewhere, I should be most grateful.
I shall blog about the (slightly amusing) aftermath of the trial and sentence tomorrow.
[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].

Well, that pretty much puts the cap on the expected “Conservative” Party debacle at the upcoming General Election.
The Con Party is presently running at between 19% and 27% in various opinion polls, with most closer to the lower level. Call it 23%. Of those 23 points, about 20 points consist of the votes of persons over 65. If that demographic were all to vote elsewhere or abstain, the Con Party would be looking at a vote of about 3%, the same sort of level as that typically achieved nationwide by the Greens (2.7% in 2019).
Of course, that will not happen. Many middle-aged and elderly people are people of habit. Many have habitually voted Con for decades. Many say “so if I don’t vote Conservative, for what can I vote?” Brainwashed by the “two main parties” scam.
Having said that, I now think that many people even of advanced years are now angry enough to either abstain or vote elsewhere as a protest.
I do not think it totally impossible now for the Conservative Party to go one or two points below 20% at GE 2024. That would mean only a few Conservative Party MPs left— between 20 and 50, depending on all the other factors in play.
Sam Melia and Laura Towler
[Laura Towler and Sam Melia]
I see that their crowdfunder is now at (as of time of writing) £56,350, a magnificent sum, and still increasing, though more slowly than in the days since Melia’s sentencing hearing (last Friday, 1 March 2024; he was sent down for 2 years, meaning that he will probably not emerge for 12 months, maybe 8 months).
The money will support Laura Towler (who has a young child, with another expected within weeks), will make Melia’s time in prison more tolerable, and will support the couple and their socio-political struggle in 2025 and thereafter.
“UPDATE: Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who has donated so generously to this campaign, from the bottom of our hearts we are thankful for such a wonderful outpouring of support.
Secondly, as most of you will now be aware, Sam has been sentenced to two years custodial sentence.
Sam is now incarcerated in a British prison for the ‘crime’ of producing messages the prosecution admitted were ‘totally lawful’. What’s more, under this particular law, the Judge reminded that the jury that the ‘truth was no defence’.
This campaign will remain live for the duration of Sam’s imprisonment and the money raised will support Sam’s pregnant wife Laura and their child Catherine.“]
A modest donation (the minimum amount is only £4) not only supports a young family (and particularly a young mother who is also a staunch social-nationalist and who is imminently expecting a baby while her husband is —unjustly— in prison), but also sticks it to the System.
[Update, same day: the following message is believed to have originated from Laura Towler:
“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.

Labour’s main problem in getting to its GE 2024 “victory by default” is its own MPs, and especially its own front bench. Every time they open their mouths, they seem less pleasant, and indeed less competent. I suppose that is why Starmer keeps them gagged whenever possible.

Ha. Very true. Without the TV fear-propaganda, the System could never have got away with, for example, the 2020-2022 “Covid” panicdemic or scamdemic.
That tweet reminded me of a scene from this film:
A rather odd film, which (as has often happened with me when I encounter experimental-style films, like those of Tarkovsky) grew on me when I saw it for the second and third time (on video).
I first saw Alice in the Cities in the early 1980s, at some art-house cinema, as the Americans say, in Hampstead. I was rather reluctantly dragged there by someone I knew, “Major Tillman” (a nom de guerre), and his French girlfriend. His girlfriend apparently later complained that I had “fidgeted...like a little child“. Probably. I do not have a lot of patience with films. I believe that I heard that they eventually married, and now live in Paris.
On seeing the film again, I think twice more, so three times altogether over 20 years, the film grew on me, though I still think it not entirely a success, artistically.

In reality, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan is being implemented by cabals of evil persons embedded in the Government, Parliament, msm, and Civil Service. They scarcely even try to conceal the agenda any more.
Another talking point
In fact, that person’s opinion is legally incorrect.
“1)A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it; and “thief” and “steal” shall be construed accordingly.“
[Theft Act 1968, s.1]
It is a long time since I practised at the Bar (2008) and even longer (nearly 30 years, early/mid 1990s) since I did any ordinary criminal law, but my clear recollection is that someone can be convicted of shoplifting (theft) without having left the store. That is because the immediately-relevant component of the offence is that the person has “appropriated the rights of the owner” to the goods taken (with a dishonest intent) and with the intent of permanently depriving the owner.
Assuming that the foodbank basket is (as the one in Waitrose is, and I think at Tesco etc) under the name and control of [name]-Foodbank, then anyone taking food from the shelves, with the appropriate intent, and then “giving” that food to the foodbank by placing it in the foodbank basket or bin has committed the offence, even if the shoplifter does not get any (material) benefit.
In fact, I doubt whether it would be any different even were the foodbank basket or bin to be labelled with the name of the supermarket, because the shoplifter has still “appropriated the rights of the owner” to the goods, and intending to permanently deprive. I have no idea whether that exact situation has ever been tested in court, or in appellate court, though.
The same is true of a shoplifter who places items in a shopping bag or pocket (assuming that the “mental element” of dishonesty is present). It is not necessary, to ground the offence, for the shoplifter to have left the store with the goods taken. This is a common misconception.
It is true that store detectives and the like usually do wait until the suspected shoplifter has exited the building before stopping the suspect. That is because the shoplifter can hardly then claim to have intended to pay (as he or she might be able to say if stopped somewhere inside the store); there have, though, been appeal cases reported (often in the 1970s, the Theft Act 1968 still then being quite new) where convictions were upheld under such circumstances.
It is just easier for store detectives to stop suspects outside.

[Sam Melia and Laura Towler, of Patriotic Alternative]
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I have blogged in recent days about the very unjust prosecution, conviction, and sentence visited upon Sam Melia and, consequently, upon his wife, Laura Towler, and their children (one very young, the other expected to be born sometime in the next few weeks).
I am not a member of Patriotic Alternative, and am personally unacquainted with the couple, but this is a disgraceful persecution, not merely an unjust prosecution.
I often criticize Toby Young and his “Free Speech Union” (for turning a blind eye when social-national people such as Alison Chabloz, “Sven Longshanks”, and indeed me, are harried by the State at the behest of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby), but credit where due— even Toby Young has criticized this latest curb on freedom of expression: see https://www.noticer.news/sam-melia-jailed-two-years-for-sticker-campaign-patriotic-alternative/.
Prior to his sentencing, Sam Melia made a statement, alongside Laura Towler, and Mark Collett; Laura Towler also made a brave and defiant statement after her husband had been taken away:
The crowdfunder referred to by Sam Melia, set up mainly to support his wife and children during his involuntary absence, has now reached, as of time of writing, £52,331. The more the better. These seem to me to be good people. Help these people and, at the same time, stick it to the System. Minimum donation is £4.
Incidentally, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) is still in prison, inter alia for having criticized “the usual suspects” on his podcasts. He too has a crowdfunder, in order to help him both in prison and upon release (probably around August 2024). https://www.givesendgo.com/SupportSven.
As regular readers will also know, I myself am also to be sentenced (next week) (for having blogged the truth over the past years).

The corrupt “two main parties” scam is now trying to criminalize anything and everything they decide to label “extremist”. Fight it.
It isn't centrist or moderate to break every record on net migration, year after year, and then refuse to monitor the results of your policy decision. It's extremism, driven by ideology. https://t.co/pRR7CLFoSa
I am in absolute disbelief, how are we now a country that refuses to give the data to its people specially because they ‘don’t want it to inflame tensions’? I cannot possibly be reading this right, surely?
Behind that, the reason is because the System has an agenda: google “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan”.
You're undoubtedly correct. The really big question, therefore, is why DO successive governments and civil servants support such insanely high immigration figures, given the enormous strain it puts on the economy? I truly have no idea, unless the Kalergi plan is really true 😦
They did this with GCSE results based on country background of kids about ten years ago, the results showed what everybody already knew so they simply disappeared in the hope nobody would notice.
Islamism is only one existential threat to Britain. (Political) Zionism is another, mass immigration and/or “migration-invasion” by non-Europeans generally is yet another. Societal breakdown and the allied cultural trash is another. There are others too. Those strands are woven together.
Goodwin is very pro-Israel, very pro the Jewish/Zionist lobby. He makes some good (though very obvious) points about UK society and politics, but his limited ideological perspective leads him to partly-incorrect conclusions, as in his espousal of the “controlled opposition” Reform UK party.
Yes but Iain was quite happy voting Conservative under Margaret Thatcher when she destroyed the north of England. He was voting Conservative during austerity. Now all of a sudden he's throwing his toys out the pram because the Tories are criticising islam? How much did they pay?
All “three main parties” (System parties) and their msm offshoots have, in the American phrase, “bet the farm” on the happy shiny “multikulti society”, the outward face of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The only thing is— it does not work (not in the way presented, and the European public are not supposed to see the real plan, i.e. a mixed-race population ruled undemocratically —and largely by Jews and part-Jews— i.e. a new pseudo-European “elite” but also tied up with the old elites via money).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan [but be aware that Jew-Zionist groups such as the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] have for some time been asking for volunteers to work with them, using their individual Wikipedia accounts to “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia articles on a number of historical, political, and philosophical topics].

“Did you know that Bill Gates’ primary residence in Seattle boasts 7 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 60-foot pool with an underwater music system, a 2,500-square-foot gym, a 1,000-square-foot dining room, six kitchens, and a trampoline room with a 20-foot ceiling?
And let’s not forget the 2,100-square-foot library, a home theater that seats up to 20 guests, and a massive 300-square-foot reception hall with room for 200 guests. And there’s also a spacious guesthouse, a garage that fits 23 cars, and an artificial stream stocked with fish. Depending on the source, its value is estimated at $127 to $170 million. But wait, there’s more!
Gates also owns homes in Del Mar, California at sea level ($43 million), Indian Wells, California ($12.5 million), Wellington, Florida ($8.7 million), and a ranch in Wyoming ($8.9 million). A fun little tidbit about his Florida property: In 2016, he paid $13.5 million for the neighboring house. Rumor has it he’s also bought four other properties on the same street, making him the sole resident of the entire block.
While Bill doesn’t own a mega-yacht, he regularly charters them for his vacations. He also has a penchant for spending big on luxury cars, and let’s not forget his four private jets. In interviews, he’s mentioned that purchasing private jets is his “guilty pleasure.”
Now, isn’t it ironic that one of the main proponents of reducing our carbon footprint lives like this? With such an expansive estate and luxurious lifestyle, we can’t help but wonder how much his own carbon footprint is ballooning. If the people who are urging us to reduce our carbon footprints are living lives of excess, how can we trust their motivations and the validity of their claims about man-made climate change?“

Though the obvious thing is to talk about “co-incidence”, or perhaps the attempts —if any— by those bombing and shelling to avoid collateral damage to religious buildings, it may be that there is a supernatural element to such manifestations.
Look at the Second World War. Cologne Cathedral was left almost, not entirely, untouched while the whole central part of the city around it was flattened by bombs and, later, tank warfare.
[Cologne Cathedral, 1945]
The same manifestation was seen at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London during the “Blitz” of 1940-1941 (in London, mainly 1940).

As to Matt Goodwin, at first I thought him just a minor academic who had woken up to the madness of permitting mass immigration etc and so had, shall we say, “modified” his views.
Later, more recently, I thought that Goodwin was either trying to lay the basis for a new political movement, with himself as the director —and/but for genuine reasons— or perhaps was trying to make money out of it; his Substack blog is monetized and he now has 24,000 paying (?) subscribers.
Now I really wonder whether Goodwin is under some sort of “control”. His views as expressed have undergone a considerable metamorphosis over the past few years. Of course, people do often, and genuinely, change their views, either “just because” or because they see the impossible-to-ignore in front of them.
Goodwin’s pro-Israelism, and apparent pro-Jewish lobby views, give me cause for concern.
Goodwin is now seen often on TV.
The Substack subscription seems to be (I am unsure) about a pound or so per week. Modest, arguably, but he now has 24,000 subscribers. If they are all paying that, a very good income indeed for him (maybe £100,000+ per month. Can that be right?). Even if only a quarter or a tenth are paying £5 each month, not at all bad…
Conclusion: undecided. He may be a System puppet, creating more “controlled opposition” (and witness his support for the rather pathetic Reform UK, for Farage etc), or he may be doing what he is doing for genuine reasons, or for fame and/or money. Or a mixture of all (a “Father Gapon” situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon). I just do not know.

I'm a fan of @Spectator but this is wrong. "The high number of immigrants to UK [are] highly skilled, more likely to work & pay taxes". Incorrect. We are importing LOW skill, LOW wage migration which takes more OUT than contributes to economy & public services 👇…
And unless we deliver sweeping reforms over the next few years, which seem unlikely with a Labour gvt(s?) this will only get worse, as I talk about here. We are not attracting the "best & the brightest". https://t.co/fvp6Iunciv
Labour Party rule will be as bad as the present misgovernment, or even worse. The same forces control both.
There are huge numbers of people in the UK who simply refuse to see what is in front of them. For those people, immigration into the UK —and into Europe as a whole— is somehow good (and even if not, “inevitable”), as is the resultant mixed-race society.
Deluded people, in the socio-political sense. As Hitler said of the 1919-1933 Weimar Republic mainstream, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.
“We will restore democratic control of immigration policy after we leave the EU”, Johnson confidently proclaimed. “We must be much more open to high-skilled immigration, such as scientists, but we must also assure the public we have control over the number of unskilled immigrants coming into the country”.
This promise — that Brexit Britain would be completely reshaped around highly-skilled, highly-selective, and highly-controlled immigration— has been repeated by countless Tories ever since and still guides Spectator-style Toryism today.
The only problem, as new data makes clear, is that it was a lie. A big, fat, barefaced Tory lie. The country, the British people, got no such thing.
Contrary to what Boris Johnson and then Liz Truss and then Rishi Sunak promised, Britain has not been transformed into an oasis of highly-skilled scientists and big tech entrepreneurs who are contributing more than they are taking.
Far from it.
Under the Tories, Britain has become even more a country of mass, uncontrolled, and unassimilated immigration —much of which is not high-skill or selective at all.
Consider just one of many mind-boggling statistics.
Over the last five years, about two million people from outside Europe arrived in Britain through net migration. But how many do you think came for work?
Just 15 per cent. That’s right. 15 per cent.
The rest entered Britain as the relatives of workers, international students, the relatives of these students, or as asylum-seekers and refugees.“
[from Matt Goodwin’s blog].
Few of the migrants are “high-skilled”, few work in “high-skilled” (or any) occupations.

Incidentally, Victoria Derbyshire misspelled the name.
An example of what is so wrong in that interface where public administration meets political propaganda, public relations, and low-level journalistic scribbling.
Look at his background. Five years of higher education at Oxford and Cambridge, studying natural sciences, after which he seems to have spent not far off three years working for Brexit-related pressure group organizations (Vote Leave, and then Brexit Central), followed by a year at the Guido Fawkes news outlet. Then? Straight to government as a Special Adviser (average pay is around £100,000 p.a.) in several posts over three years, culminating at 10, Downing Street.
After the fall of Liz Truss, Bennett left Downing Street (I presume involuntarily) and is now (after what seems to have been a year unemployed, or at any rate not detailed on Linked-In) in the world of politics-related public relations, like so many of such people.
People have to come from somewhere; no-one these days jumps fully-formed from university to government at a high level, but one wonders whose hands the government of this country is in when it is advised by people with so slight-seeming a background.
Odd-looking fellow. Must be about 32-33. Origins not known.
“SpAds” are a creation of the past few decades. Unnecessary,.
In the mid-Victorian era, public administration and much else was reformed: Army and Navy officer recruitment, the Civil Service, the Courts and legal profession etc. May be time to look again at how many parts of the public realm are organized.
Looking at the Liz Truss news, it is absolutely incredible that that silly woman now seems to imagine that she can return to some kind of political prominence. Her pseudo-“libertarian” ideology just does not resonate with the voters, and will not, even if conflated with some kind of anti-“woke”, anti-immigration ballast.
Matt Goodwin (continued)
Incidentally, that Matt Goodwin article reposted here above ends (at least the free-to-read version) with:
“While they’re losing support to Labour and Reform, they’re also now losing an even larger number of their 2019 voters to something else — apathy.
Many people in Britain are simply giving up on politics, no longer convinced any of the big parties can fix the big problems facing the country. And this is especially true for people who voted Conservative at the last election.
Most of the people who have abandoned the Tories in recent months have not gone to Labour or Reform. Instead, they now say they will not vote at all, do not know who to support, or simply refuse to answer the question from pollsters. And the number who now say this is not small. About one in three of them now say this.“
[Matt Goodwin’s blog].
Many many British people now, either consciously or unconsciously, support the kind of social nationalism that I do, but they will not admit to it, by reason of the muffled repression now part of UK society. Look at my blog.
I am going to be sentenced in the magistrates’ court next month for allegedly having published five (5) of the 1,700+ blog posts put on my WordPress blog since the end of 2016. If “the pen is mightier than the sword“, then the Jewish/Zionist lobby, using the police and CPS as proxies, are trying to take away that pen…
There is also the point that no proper social-national party or movement exists in the UK. The one that is most closely akin to such a movement, Patriotic Alternative, is itself now subject to repression. Sam Melia, one of the leading figures, has just been convicted, in the Crown Court, of “incitement”, on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber; his personal bank account had already been shut down a couple of years ago, along with that of his wife, Laura Towler.
Britain is not really anything like a “free country” now; it certainly has very little “free speech”.
Looking at the electoral situation politically, it seems that non-voting apathy might now amount to half of the eligible electorate. That might be seen as a positive fact, though. The right movement might energize that half of the population.

This is so depressing, but I find it hard to disagree. I'm already thinking of a future for my kids somewhere else. https://t.co/JtRS6hXpDy
Ha ha! I had better not comment in such terms as I should prefer, in view of my upcoming sentencing hearing but if, as Pollard and Collier claim, “antisemitism” is so embedded in, eg, the courts, how come I have been bothered by the police, then charged and convicted under a “bad” law (Communications Act 2003, s.127, which the Law Commission has recommended for repeal), and now face actual judicial sanction for having allegedly published a few “antisemitic” comments and cartoons during 2020-2022?

I engage in debates about immigration bc I do not think our mainstream debate, the legacy institutions, the prevailing culture, come anywhere close to reflecting what the British people really think & feel about this issue e.g. -> https://t.co/8pqgZg6radhttps://t.co/EqiSTaR0UU
How absolutely horrible. Just so that Elon Musk can make more money, someone with money already beyond any dreams of avarice. Humanity owes the animal kingdom a huge karmic debt.
“Civil servants are being told that looking at their phones or rolling their eyes could be signs of sexual or racial discrimination as part of training that has cost more than £160,000.
Government employees have been taught by private sector consultantsto spot ‘microaggressions’ at specially run workshops since 2021.
Officials have been told to nod their heads as a way to improve inclusion. Feedback from civil servants that have undergone the training was said to be highly critical.“

A decade later, the midwife of Maidan, a humiliated and defeated Nuland, speaks from Kiev.
Her accomplishments:
* Russia is stronger than ever since the breakup of the USSR, globally and nationally. Putin enjoys high approval ratings and Russia is more unified than ever.
“A decade later [after the 2014 NWO/ZOG coup in Kiev], the midwife of Maidan, a humiliated and defeated Nuland, speaks from Kiev.
Her accomplishments:
* Russia is stronger than ever since the breakup of the USSR, globally and nationally. Putin enjoys high approval ratings and Russia is more unified than ever.
* Crimea is still Russia and Sevastopol is not a triumphant new addition to the U.S. global military empire.
* Nuland literally f**ked the EU.
[not “literally“, surely, except maybe in one or two cases].
* Europe was forced to replace cheap Russian energy with expensive Russian energy, laundered through various middlemen. Entire industrial sectors have been gutted.
* 440,000 dead Ukrainians.“
Add to that list the implosion of Ukraine not only as a state (failed state, fake state) but also as a nation and people.
Hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged men killed on the battlefield; as many or more, possibly millions, have fled to EU and other states. Millions of women and under-18 offspring have also relocated outside Ukraine. The population is not reproducing itself, and in fact its numbers are falling rapidly.
The industrial sector is almost flat. The agricultural sector is finding it hard to export. Electrical power supply is unreliable.
Meanwhile, despite various problems, Russia is flourishing.
Strategically, Russia’s overall position cannot be compared to that of Kiev-regime Ukraine, which only stays in existence by reason of aid from the EU and North America.

Feminists need to stop talking about microaggressions and start talking about border control. The government granting asylum to convicted sex offenders is a betrayal of women and girls. https://t.co/2pwFbC2Nd6
The fake “debate” continues in the msm, but above that facade of fakery the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan also continues unabated, flooding western and central Europe with non-whites.
What’s the answer, Matt. I love your work but we are getting to the stage where we’re just highlighting the problems. We now need solutions. We now need actions.
If Matt Goodwin actually put forward solutions to the migration invasion etc, he would probably end up in court, as did I, in my case the victim of malicious complaint by an “entitled” tribe. Having said that, Goodwin is very pro-Israel, so maybe (like Douglas Murray) he can “offend” (non-Jews, anyway) without facing judicial sanction.
Afghan migrant enters UK illegally in 2016 Applies for asylum twice Doesn't get it Is not removed from the UK THEN commits sexual assault & exposure Gets suspended sentence THEN granted asylum Because he "is now a Christian" THEN attacks two children + mother with acid
Yes. Everybody who thinks mass immigration is the dumbest policy decision ever, who think we should deport foreign nationals like Abdul Ezedi, is a racist and equivalent to the 1970s National Front. Nobody falls for this stick anymore, David. You've run out of ideas. Move along. https://t.co/UCB49FV9GV
The 1970s NF had its rough edges, but most of what it predicted would happen in the UK has since come to pass. In terms of street violence, incidentally, the NF was far more sinned against than sinning, in my view.
"British people commit crimes too therefore we should be cool with asylum seekers & illegal migrants trying to kill us in the name of Allah & pouring acid over women and girls"
You see the Aaronovitch type of argument all the time from the “politically correct”/”woke” rabble: “British people commit crimes, so any riff-raff off the boat who commit crimes should not be deported.” Or…”some British people are sex offenders, so we must not characterize the “British” Pakistani community as harbouring a large number of rape gangs targeting young (real British) girls, because that harms ‘diversity’.”

Well, in the American phrase, “what goes around comes around”. By 2029, or 2034, Iran, other states around Israel, even Hezbollah, maybe even Hamas, will have far more sophisticated missiles and drones. I wonder what will happen then?
Those Israeli soldiers and their families may, in 5 or 10 years, be themselves “victims”, and will no doubt be able anyway to pose as such.

Israel presents an image of national unity, usually. The deep rifts within its society are hidden from view much of the time. Having said that, the only Israeli prime minister to have been assassinated (Rabin) was killed not by an Arab but by a Jew, and one supposedly connected with the Shin Beth security org. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_Rabin#Assassination_and_aftermath.

The Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK have been remarkably quiet since Israeli forces started to kill or horribly wound tens of thousands of Gazan women and children; not to mention terrorizing the survivors, who are living in hunger and squalor.
The Israel Broadcasting Corporation reveals: "3,000 soldiers have undergone treatment at the army's psychiatric ward since the start of the Gaza war."
Still, I suppose that someone (of any race or nation) who is involved in the mass slaughter of women and children is quite likely to face psychological disturbance.
