[“The money sent from Norway to Ukraine in the last 12 months could have financed these things, and that is without including the economic obligations of receiving refugees from Ukraine. 1. **Public Transportation** – ~$3.7B/year → **Free nationwide buses, trains, trams & ferries** 2. **Childcare & Kindergarten** – ~$1.4B/year → **Free for all kids under 6** 3. **Dental Care for Adults** – ~$1.1B/year → **Free check-ups, fillings, braces & implants** 4. **Higher Education + Full Stipends** – ~$5.0B/year → **Free tuition + living costs for all students** 5. **Prescription Drugs** – ~$1.4B/year → **Free meds for all (zero co-pay)**“]

A real government would clear the streets, whether it meant shooting the untermenschen down like dogs or not.

…and (((who))) do you imagine is behind most of the decadence? Yes, “them” (the “you-know-who”)…

Look at the female prison guards now constantly getting caught out having affairs with male prisoners, and helping with their criminal conspiracies.

A microcosm of the whole society, where things are gradually —or not so gradually— ceasing to work properly, or at all. Prisons, police, courts and legal system, border control, NHS, social care, education, almost all aspects of the central and local bureaucracy, the socio-political contract (eg the large number of multi-billionaires while most people struggle), the political system…

Of course, the fish rots from the head.

You couldn’t make it up.

That ridiculous black waste of space sits there, making hundreds of thousands a year in salary, expenses, “donations” and other corruption, letting the UK slide into chaos, while those of us who should really be occupying the seats of power and influence are ignored, and/or repressed by a hostile state and the Jew-Zionist lobby.

Talking point

Of course, such a graph is misleading in that the SNP only gets about 3% of the UK national vote, but about 50% of the vote in Scottish Westminster seats. The SNP may get 40+ seats next time, and thus be the 4th or 5th-largest party in the Commons, depending on how badly the Conservative Party does.

Eventually, the slide to chaos may create, a few years down the line, a need for a “Britischer Freikorps“.

I have actually been inside Wandsworth Prison, sometime around 1994, though only as an official legal visitor (barrister), there to consult with a lay client who was an abscondee or deserter from the Angolan Security Service. I was escorted inside the prison by a polite older type of prison officer (guard). There was discussion about the nice flower beds there. In other words, my experience was very different from that of a prisoner or, indeed, a family member visiting an inmate.

Inside, my conference took place in a rather odd room with pipes along the ceiling and walls, all painted a kind of depressing Victorian pale green. As I went in, I could see, not too far away, what looked like prisoners walking round in a large circle, some wearing civilian clothes, so presumably on remand awaiting trial. Though not smelly, the prison interior exuded a kind of slightly unclean ambience; hard to describe. As if it all needed a thorough clean.

That was over 30 years ago. Looks as though the prison, along with others, has since descended into chaos.

One thing about that Sky News report puzzles me; I have noticed the same previously. Why do so many of the UK’s urban “criminal classes”, even the seemingly white British ones, talk in a kind of pseudo-Jamaican patois? Maybe Lammy could answer that question, at least (?).

The UK could be getting oil and gas at cost, maybe even below cost, from Russia, dependent on UK foreign policy stances, but the System parties refuse to negotiate what could be a huge boon for the British people.

I suppose that at least Lammy can claim (or can he?) that (unlike Starmer-stein and Rachel “from Accounts” Reeves) he buys his own clothing).

That lady fails to add that, in the said 2016 by-election, she scored only 173 votes (0.4% of the votes cast), and came 5th, after the Monster Raving Loony Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Park_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

As for her pretend party, called “the Moderates”, I have blogged before that I think its membership consists solely of the empty bottles in her kitchen.

Why not?

Britain is swamped by such criminals, cheating the elderly etc. Yes, some are based overseas, so are not easily hauled before English courts. They too should be targeted, though, and covertly punished. They will learn that their legs are not as long as the claws of justice. It is about time that SIS did something useful for the British people.

Good news, as far as it goes.

Ghislaine Maxwell case

Just watched a Netflix documentary about the Ghislaine Maxwell case. Not bad, but it said nothing about the aspects of the Epstein matter that interest me the most, i.e. the Israeli Intelligence connection, the tie-ups with the Trilateral Commission, NWO/ZOG etc.

The whole “Maxwell” clan showed up for her trial in New York. Send them back to the ghettos from which they emerged.

Lisa Nandy— another corrupt Labour Friends of Israel enemy of the people.

Would mean a Commons with about 442 Reform MPs (massive majority), 57 Greens (can that be right?), 42 SNP, 41 LibDems, 21 Lab, and 12 cons (etc).

That really would be a revolution in British terms. Effectively the end, certainly arguably, and plausibly, for both the “Conservative” and “Labour” parties. Not before time. Reform, the Greens, and (though less than in other polls) the LibDems, all riding high almost entirely by default, not on their own merits. Not by their own popularity, but because of the unpopularity of the main System parties.

Good point.

[“I grew up near Bournemouth and saw the horrors of what has happened to the South in recent years most of my life when I would venture to Bournemouth for the day in my teen years. I can’t imagine how much worse it’s got there since the Boris Wave. This seems to be happening most days there now since the opening of the hotels. Total remigration is the only friendly option.”]

I live only 20 miles from Bournemouth. I only go there very rarely, and only if it is unavoidable. Not for white man, frankly. Even the English inhabitants are mostly not those I would wish to encounter.

Readers may be surprised to see me repost tweets from now-binned former MP [High Peak], Robert Largan, a conscious tool of the Jewish lobby, but I certainly agree with him about the necessity for architecture to be both beautiful and functional.

I have not been to Dresden, though I was once, in 1988, not far away. As to Manchester, I appeared a few times c.2007 as Counsel at the County Court, at that time situated at Crown Square; I believe that the Crown Court still sits there.

I have, once only, seen Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, but that was even earlier, sometime in the mid-1980s, maybe 1985 or 1986, when the Georgian State Dance ensemble was performing in and around the city (they also went to Preston). The dancers, stage people, interpreters, KGB, and me (unpaid, and uncredited in any way) were all staying in a fairly ghastly hotel called the Britannia, not far from those Gardens (not even a park, but just a flat area of grass, with a few very low and scrubby hedges). I wandered down to pass the time one early evening. Once was enough.

Incidentally, I also saw the Manchester Royal Infirmary, the main hospital, because one of the Georgian dancers had cut his hand right down to the bone as he and others were practising with their swords (part of their spectacular dance act). The swords were razor-sharp, sharpened daily in order to create the sparks that flew during the performance.

The interpreters, including my then girlfriend, were all busy with the performance that evening, so I was asked to accompany the dancer (who only spoke Georgian and Russian, no English) to the hospital in a taxi.

At the hospital, I tried to have him seen to at once (there was a lot of waiting around), and I think we were seen slightly ahead of time, though not soon enough for the Georgian, who though pleasant had the impatience typical of his countrymen. The nurses (if my memory serves) were both pretty and pleasant, as well as efficient (once deployed). So the Georgian survived to fight (onstage) again, and indeed I believe he was the one chosen to meet Mrs. Thatcher when she visited either Moscow or Tbilisi (I think the latter) in a later year.

Those dancers certainly put on a superb show (which I saw for free in Manchester, Preston and some other places). The women in their long costumes seemed to glide rather than walk or dance.

A long time ago now, nearly 40 years…

[a more recent Georgian dance show]

Largan’s comment also refers to the recent statement by thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, re. Starmer-Labour’s apparent intent to build millions of ugly hutches, in the once green and pleasant countryside, in which to stable migrant-invaders.

MSM lies

So a narrative has been created and is spreading out across mainstream media. I saw it this morning on both BBC News and Sky News.

The narrative goes something like this: “a tiny group of ‘far-right’ social media influencers incited a larger group — but still a tiny proportion of the population— to smash things, to riot, and to express ‘hate’ against non-whites and especially Muslims, but ‘the community’ gathered in huge numbers to beat off their attempts to sow ‘division’.“

In reality, there were fairly large gatherings here and there in protest against what has been happening in the UK, especially as regards migration-invasion, and especially what has been developing in the large cities, over the last 30 years. A much smaller group of silly people went further, looting shops and playing into the hands of the System, which then went into “police state” dictatorial mode. “Useful idiots” also started to demand the shutdown of all free speech platforms, such as Twitter/X.

At the same time, the BBC and Sky started to show a Soviet-style melange of grey-haired people in churches praying for “peace”, and a few large crowds of supposed “antifascists” (posing as “the real citizens” etc).

London has a Metro-area population of 15M, so a crowd of 5,000 or even 15,000 is really a very small percentage, not even a tenth of 1%. In reality, it seems that even the largest “counter-protest” (at Walthamstow in N.E. London) consisted of only about 1,000 persons, many from elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c623g0xnrero.

The photo from Brighton, below, seems to show an enormous crowd of “counter-protesters”, but in reality consists of only about 500 people: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3d9e3e573o

The lesson is— “don’t trust the mainstream media”.

The elephant in the room is mass immigration, which continues, day after day. 100-1,000 daily across the Channel, illegally; also, another 3,000 or so “legally”, by air and sea, every day.

I imagine that the present protests and their riotous offshoots will die out…for now. As to what might happen in a year’s time, or 10 or 20 years, we shall see. I don’t mean street protests that, in themselves, achieve little, but political and para-political upheavals.

The DDR (East Germany) could not hold back popular discontent in the end. Do Starmer and Yvette Cooper think that they can hold back the tide?

…and look at that stupid white (“antifascist”?) woman in a yellow jerkin, standing there smiling inanely as the untermensch advocates mass murder…

I agreed at the time (pre-GE 2024) with Matt Goodwin, and we have both already been proven correct,

Double most of those figures if you substitute “10 years” with “20 years”.

Inevitable, in short, sooner or later. Not a traditional “civil war” though, as I have remarked in the past. A multiform civil/social/ideological/racial conflict, and one without large set-piece battles.

Well, so much for the NATO Treaty…

Kharkov first.

I imagine that the children of one family will need time to adjust. They apparently know no Russian, and were unaware that they themselves are Russian. Psychological problems seem likely.

There it is— “two-tier policing” from “Two-Tier Keir”.

Were I to say that non-Europeans should be eliminated from the UK and the rest of Europe, even were I not to directly incite it, nor specify a method (unlike the untermensch in question), I have no doubt that the Hampshire police (in their role as part of England’s new poundland Stasi) would once again be knocking at my door, and once again be subjecting me to boring nuisance at the very least.

From where did he get the name “Jones”? Did he eat the previous owner?

“The leadership election has yet to grip the nation, if my focus groups of ex-Tory voters are anything to go by: “Mel Stride” “Never heard of her” “Robert Jenrick” “Who’s he?” “He used to be the immigration minister” “Well he didn’t do a very good job then, did he” “Kemi Badenoch” “Are these real names?”…

The contenders seem to be one or two white English, one part-Jew, one mixed -race African/English, one full African, and one Indian. Most are pretty brainless, too.

Ashcroft will not be unaware that at least one reason no-one is much interested in the would-be “leaders” is because the Conservative Party is now a total irrelevance. It cannot even make much of an impact in the talking-shop of the Westminster monkeyhouse. Not for the next several years. Maybe never.

Jesus H. Christ! (with apologies to Father Robinson)…what a total waste of space the above creature is, and what a total traitor to European race and culture.

The fact is, whatever happens in the rest of 2024, we know that the end result will be decided in later years, and not in police stations, or in courts, or in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

Many and indeed almost all of the other problems of the UK have been caused, or made much worse, by the migration-invasion that started as long ago as the 1950s, became a river by the 1980s, and became a torrent after 1989 and especially after 2001. The only word that can now describe it is tsunami. It will break this society apart.

At least 2% should be chopped off those figures, the Jewish proportion of the US population. If the known (((ownership))) of the mass media were not as it is, brainwashing the American public, the figure overall would reduce to not much more than that 2%.

That lady is very mistaken though, if she really believes that “legal” immigration is not a problem. Indeed, it is far more of a problem, because 10x or even 20x the number of the “illegals”.

People allegedly part of the more riotous recent protests are not being bailed (as almost all would normally be) prior to sentence (if they pleaded guilty) or prior to trial (if they pleaded not guilty). This is quite obviously covert interference by the political element over the supposedly “independent” judicial element. Indeed, Starmer purported to lay down such practice in his poundland-dictator speech the other day.

I have no idea of Ash Sarkar’s parentage on the paternal side but as far as I know she is not English, nor even part-English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Sarkar#Early_life_and_education.

Her place of birth is irrelevant.

Like so many non-Europeans who live here, especially the ones who are actually quite affluent, she secretly hates us, or at least that has been my impression.

Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged…

Leave a comment

This blog post has been triggered by my happening to have seen a couple of minor news items while idly browsing the Internet. The first reported that my old head of chambers –shall we call him M.B.?– from when I practised as a barrister in Exeter (2002-2007), has been elevated to the Bench as a Circuit Judge and is now styled His Honour Judge M.B.

The other news item was that the old (dating from 1905) Tower Bridge Magistrates’ Court and police station have been turned into “a luxury boutique hotel”. Sign of the times.

These reports have led me to muse on some of my own experiences with the judicial classes.

M.B. will probably make an effective judge. An erudite civil lawyer, I met him when I decided to stop being an employed lawyer (a situation I was in, intermittently, from 1996 through to 2002) and re-start Bar practice in England. I had been living and/or working overseas for much of those six or seven years, and in London, where at one time I was the leaseholder of property in Gray’s Inn (I lived at that time at Higher Denham, Buckinghamshire, from where I travelled in by rail from Denham Golf Club halt to Marylebone, a short journey lasting about 20 minutes).

I was in Kazakhstan for a year (1996-97) and after that also lived in or made shorter visits to a number of other countries: Egypt (where I lived for a while in Aswan, on a remote Red Sea beach under canvas, in a flat in Alexandria and in the desert oasis of Siwa); Turkey (I drove UK-Turkey-UK in 2001, which was quite an adventure at times: France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, a 4-month trip); the USA (based in Charleston, South Carolina, but I also stayed for a while in Tampa, Florida); Qatar; Liechtenstein; the Channel Islands, the Eastern Caribbean (several islands); the Cayman Islands, Minorca, Czech Republic, Northern Cyprus etc.

I remember one member of my future chambers remarking at my interview that my CV read in parts like that of James Bond. I had to point out that any resemblance between me and James Bond was purely co-incidental and very implausible (and not only because I have never belonged to any secret service!).

Still, I joined that set and in general found it OK, though at first it (and so I) had very little work. I had taken on the lease of one of the largest country houses in North Cornwall and liked the relaxed lifestyle of the Cornwall/Devon upstream Tamar River area.

As to M.B., not long after I joined the set, M.B. and I won a multi-day action in contract and trust together (though appearing for different people) at Plymouth County Court. After that, we did appear on opposite sides a couple of times during my 5 years in chambers, but he lost out despite being (arguably) a better advocate and (unarguably) a better lawyer than me.

I may as well add that, despite what some Jewish individuals claimed after I was disbarred in 2016 (about 8 years after I had left chambers and ceased Bar practice!), M.B. and the other fellow members of chambers (with one, possibly two exceptions: see below) did not want me to leave chambers, whether for political or any other reasons. Indeed, M.B. wanted me to stay on despite my having decided to resign.

In fact, I was commuting on a weekly or 2-weekly basis across the Channel to Finistere, where my wife and cats were living. This resulted in financial strain, in that I was only available for half the time, was paying out large amounts for ferries (return trip with car, luxury cabin too, about £300 return, every week or so…), hotels in the UK for 10-20 nights per month.

Putting the seal on it all, I was starting to have “discussions” with the Revenue (which only ended in 2012).

My only misgivings about M.B. as a judge would be that, firstly, he tends to stick with black-letter law; in my view, he is unwilling to bend the law to fit the justice of the case. Whether that is a strength or a weakness is a matter for debate.

Secondly, when I decided to leave chambers, I quite liked the idea of remaining as a door tenant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_tenant] and M.B. said that that would not be a problem and implied (indeed expressed, though in some other words) that it would be nodded through, but that the correct form would be for me to resign my tenancy first and then apply for door tenancy, though approval would “in my case” be automatic.

However, when it came to it, a couple of new tenants (I believe) cut up rough because one was married to some kind of Indian and was very hostile to (what he assumed were) my political views; I think (guessing) that a recent ex-pupil (a humourless bespectacled woman with an invisible sign round her neck saying “Politically-Correct Virtue-Signalling Christian”) may also have blackballed me.

In the event, the door tenancy would have been a waste of time because the Revenue was on my back at a cross-Channel distance. Still, that made me think that M.B. was not necessarily reliable, a thought that had occurred previously once or twice.

Now to another judge of sorts. Tower Bridge Magistrates’ Court, long before it was (quite recently) turned into a luxury boutique hotel, was for some years often presided over by one Jacqueline “Jackie” Comyns, a notoriously despotic “stipendiary magistrate” (the rank now renamed “District Judge Criminal”). Her reputation was fearsome.

I only appeared once in front of this gargoyle: I was “briefed” at 11 am to appear at 12! That was in 1993. I read the brief on the way to court. The defendant had refused to get off a defective bus and had then assaulted the conductor and gone on to smash the side window of a police car. She was pleading guilty.

At court, the case came on minutes after my arrival. The magistrate interrupted my mitigation to ask some petty question about the defendant. I did not know the answer, having not had time for a brief conference.

Instead of simply asking the defendant for the information, this ghastly frustrated prize bitch, sitting on her seat of petty power, told me venomously that Counsel had to be properly prepared when appearing in her court, and told me to go ask the defendant! I did, the pitying or amused eyes of dozens of police, court staff, members of the public on me as I traversed the unusually large courtroom and extracted the information.

I was told that that magistrate was going to be elevated to the Circuit bench in Essex, but that turned out to be wrong, because I see from the Internet that she was still dispensing justice from Thames Mags (on the other, i.e. North, side of the river from Tower Bridge Mags) as recently as 2013, the year that she retired (aged 70).

The problem of “judge-itis” (the tendency to be a despot sitting on the pedestal of power) is worse, usually, the further down the pecking order you go. It is rarely found in the higher courts.

At one time (1993-1995) I appeared on a frequent basis, at least once weekly, in the High Court. If I had a problem, it was never because the judge was reprising am-dram Nero or Caligula.

In the County Courts, the problem is occasionally encountered. HH Judge Overend, the presiding civil judge for Devon and Cornwall until 2006, was often a horrible despot when seated (at Plymouth County Court, usually), but in his case his bullying manner, and apparent tendency to make up his mind before you had finished —or even started— speaking, was mitigated by fairness and compassion for those suffering (so long as they were not Counsel!).

The barristers of the South West used to describe bruising encounters with that judge as one having been “Overended”…I have to say that on the odd occasion when he saw me outside court, he did always nod affably and even briefly smiled at times.

The magistrates’ courts are often the zoos where the wildest judicial animals roam their constricted territories. I once saw a stipendiary magistrate in London refuse bail to a defendant who was in court on a stretcher and on a drip !

Other judges have the opposite tendency, a pretty fatal one for a judge, a difficulty in deciding anything, especially if it would involve penalizing (eg imprisoning) those who break court orders. Judges whose Bar practice was entirely in civil work tend to fall victim to this; at least, that was my experience.

I have to say that I only found a few judges who were completely impossible. One was not a judge proper, i.e. the lady who presided over Tower Bridge Mags; another was one whose name escapes me now, but who sat at Uxbridge County Court 25 years ago. His connection with justice was, as far as I could see, purely formal. A horrible man. The many others, particularly on the High Court bench, might not always have seen eye to eye with me on the law or facts, but were almost always courteous in manner and impressive in their grasp.

Notes
