A stormy day dawns…

 

Labour leadership

Interesting grid graphic. Keir Starmer was nominated by

  • Margaret Beckett (assiduously devoted expenses cheat, freeloader, deadhead and Jewish lobby doormat);
  • Yvette Cooper (expenses cheat and freeloader, as well as being a “refugees welcome” hypocrite, Jewish lobby doormat, would-be dictator and all-round bitch);
  • David Lammy (anti-white “racist” —despite apparently being married to a white woman— , enemy of freedom of expression, Jewish lobby doormat);
  • Hilary Benn (rather a dim fellow, another doormat for the Jewish lobby);
  • Ed Miliband

Image

I suppose that Keir Starmer is the most obviously “System” candidate. I do not dislike his views or self enough to say that I am opposed to him, exactly. It is more that I find him underwhelming, a kind of nullity. There’s nothing much to hold on to either way, either by way of credit or criticism. He was neither hopeless nor brilliant as Director of Public Prosecutions, though as DPP he did not stand up for freedom of expression on social, political and historical topics, which is all-important at present. The Jews do not oppose him as candidate Labour leader. A worrying sign…

Another point about Keir Starmer that I have noticed is that he has few ideas about policy. There’s nothing new there. An occupational hazard among barristers, in my view. I know that I am not alone in thinking that Keir Starmer is weak on policy, having recently seen that some commentators agree with me on that.

LBC

Many know that the LBC radio station is basically (((occupied))). Even those who, like Nick Ferrari, are not actually Jewish, are very pro-Israel, always pro the Jewish lobby, often inviting Jew Zionists, such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) criminals, onto their shows (where the Zionists are allowed to propagandize, and are rarely if ever put on the spot).

In September 2019, Ferrari said, after a visit to Israel, “I’d been given an insight into a country that I’ve always admired and I now revered.” [Wikipedia]. Revered? Revered?! Maybe there is a blot on the Ferrari escutcheon after all…

The political part of LBC is totally infested. Look at this, below, in which the LBC presenter in question speaks on behalf of foreign criminals (rapists, murderers, serial violent robbers etc) a few of whom are at long last being deported:

Matthew Stadlen. A half-Jew. Quelle surprise… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Stadlen#Background

Some of the replies to the tweet (click on the picture to see thread) are forthright, and very few support this Stadlen person.

 

“Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake charity

A few facts for the often naive and easily-manipulated police and CPS to consider in relation to various matters, including the persecution of Alison Chabloz.

The present Director of Public Prosecutions now refuses to meet with the “CAA”. Looks like he, at least, has woken up to their Jewish “lawfare” abuse…

…also note how Joe Glasman describes a crowd of about a hundred or so Jews as “thousands”. Must be number-inflation (“holocaust” farrago arithmetic?…). Or just more lies.

Here (below) is Glasman (having eaten a couple of wine gums or drunk some “Samson” region wine), exulting over Jews having “slaughtered” Labour and “taken back”…the UK, which they evidently believe belongs to them…

https://twitter.com/YourFriendZippy/status/1210621834380664834?s=20

Example of how the “holocaust” farrago is the sole cultural myth that keeps the otherwise-disparate Jewish world from simply fragmenting…

The clip in the tweet below shows Jewish daytime game show presenter, Rachel Riley, now an extremely fervent pro-Israel and “anti-anti-Semitic” activist, explaining to her interviewer that she was not brought up religiously or even culturally Jewish, but garnered her Jewish identity from the Zionist ur-mythus of the “holocaust” farrago:

The “CAA” and its corrupt links to police, politicians, CPS and other bodies, “elected” police and crime commissioners (notably the one in Derbyshire, a Sikh born in India, who was involved with the persecution of Alison Chabloz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardyal_Dhindsa) and the infested msm, should have been investigated and dealt with years ago. Here is part of my experience:

Irish Election

Looks as though Sinn Fein will be forming the next Irish government. Not everyone is pleased:

https://twitter.com/unabeerporfavor/status/1226478222956781568?s=20

The tweeter has a point, but the vital questions for the EU are

  • “will the governing party go along with EU convergence plans?”
  • “will the governing party go along with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan to replace white Northern European people with blacks and browns?”
  • “will the governing party obey the NWO/ZOG agenda?”

Sinn Fein will probably comply with all of the above. For example, Sinn Fein has actually supported the black/brown migration-invasion of Ireland. Result? It is acceptable to the EU…

https://www.westernspring.co.uk/the-coudenhove-kalergi-plan-the-genocide-of-the-peoples-of-europe/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi

There is also the point that, unless I have misunderstood the Irish electoral process, the new government will only function as lead party in a coalition, Sinn Fein having only just pipped the other two main parties, with about 24% of the national popular vote.

Elastic history

I just saw another tweet to add to hundreds of others over the years, all of which say “my father liberated Belsen concentration camp”. Actually, a relative few say “my grandfather”, “uncle” or “I knew someone who…”). It has often been said that a small number of SAS soldiers stormed the Iranian Embassy nearly 40 years ago, but that hundreds (often not SAS or ex-SAS at all!) have claimed to have been there at the material time. So it is with “the liberation of Belsen”. Obviously, some British soldiers were there in 1945, but it becomes a bit stupid when everyone and his dog is supposed to have been there. Likewise, the fact that many unfortunate prisoners died at Belsen from disease or starvation at the end of the war (the result of epidemics, shortage of medicines, bombing of roads and railways) does not establish that, hundreds or thousands of miles to the East, Jews were “gassed”.

The Boris-idiot joke regime ploughs on

We are back to the days of Harold Wilson’s third government in the mid-1970s, to the “Lavender List” of Lady “Forkbender” etc! Who has more influence over Boris-idiot, the Lunatic-in-Chief or the Boss’s “ho”? It’s a bloody joke!

The wish of that tweeter will come to pass, but in the future, especially the far future.

Amazing covertly-taken film footage (below)

 

The “real world” intrudes on today’s blog, sadly…

In past decades, people would probably have been shouting, writing etc about how a government behaving like this should be shot etc, but today, people are scared of the police arriving at their door at the slightest provocation (e.g. an angry or even simply dissenting tweet, or Facebook post, or remark made in public or even in private).

The non-European real terrorists have over the years symbiotically worked with the Zionists and others who wish to repress our freedom of expression; new repressive laws are in place, the police and courts are becoming hysterical…the net result is that we can have a quasi-tyrannical and completely dishonest dystopian government such as that run by Boris-idiot and his lunatic-in-chief, Cummings, and yet citizens are actually afraid even to say anything really “edgy” about what should be done about it. All one sees are bleats on Twitter, mostly as weak as water.

As to the food story, It may even be that there is an occultic high-Masonic aspect to this: the wealthy able to eat properly, be healthier, as a class or group also ruling over the “pleb” masses eating junk food, pop tarts, pot noodles, fried chicken and McD hamburgers etc. Already, people in the wealthier parts of the UK live about 10 years longer and also longer in good health than those in depressed parts of the North of England. The same is true of the USA.

More about Labour and the Jew-Zionist lobby

I happened to see this https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/labour-expels-member-who-accused-rachel-riley-of-prostituting-jewish-heritage-1.496324

I am scarcely a regular reader of the Jewish Chronicle (it has reported on me over the past decade, though…https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/amazon-user-claims-jewish-lobby-1.18697?highlight=ian+millard)

I suppose that those who are now being expelled from the Labour Party at the behest of the Jewish lobby feel badly about it, but they are really being done a favour. Corbyn had his points, but was terribly weak in fighting back against the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby. He never did take the fight to them, and even persisted in paying lip-service to the absurd “holocaust” farrago. McDonnell was even worse. Now, all but about 4 or 5 Labour MPs have signed up to the so-called “International Definition” of so-called “Antisemitism” (in fact adopted so far by fewer than 20 states out of 200).

Labour is a waste of space now. A waste of time too. Why would any real British activist in any case support a party which is now really just for the blacks and browns? A party which supports mass immigration too. We have seen that many former Labour voters rejected Labour in the recent 2019 General Election. Those voters mostly did not vote Conservative; they just did not vote Labour.

Diary Blog, 3 February 2020

Good morning.

 

Streatham incident

A part of London I know slightly but not well. A couple of times, c.1980, I had a beer in the pub just about where the incident occurred. A few times, round about the same year, I had a milkshake or whatever in the local McDonalds (the first one I had ever patronized, I believe, and quite possibly the last, except for the odd visit to the ones in Victoria Street and at Marble Arch, and one in Maryland). I also had a (dishonest and generally non-paying) Sri Lankan instructing solicitor in Streatham in the early 1990s; I attended her office for a reception once. She killed herself a few weeks later. I think that the last time I was in Streatham was probably about 25 years ago.

Leaving aside reminiscence, it seems that the Government response to the latest terrorist incident is to say that —ill-defined— “terror” convicts will in future have to serve more or less their full sentence, rather than be released on licence earlier (most prisoners get out at half-time).

Tweets about the incident, many misinformed or simply laughable, now rain down…as do comments by the sort of idiot-MPs we now have in Parliament. For example, here is  Bell Ribeiro-Addy, the MP for Streatham, who went to the scene of the attack. She said: “The perpetrator didn’t serve his full sentence, which is questionable – what is more questionable is why he needed to be under surveillance. If someone needs to be under surveillance it brings the question on why they were released in the first place.” [Guardian]

This is what Wikipedia says about her:

Ribeiro-Addy was born and raised in Streatham, growing up on a council estate on Brixton Hill. She is Christian and of Ghanaian descent.[3][4] Privately educated at the independent Streatham & Clapham High School, Ribeiro-Addy graduated as a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science with Ethics & Philosophy of Science from the University of Bradford later gaining a Master of Arts in Medical Law & Ethics at Queen Mary University of London, awarded in 2007, and a Graduate Diploma in Law at BPP Law School, awarded in 2015.[5] She was the National Black Students’ Officer for the National Union of Students (NUS) from 2008 to 2010, national co-ordinator of the Student Assembly Against Racism, and the national convenor of the NUS’ Anti-Racism/Anti-Fascism campaign.

So…Bell Ribeiro-Addy has, as well as her grand-sounding but probably rather easy first degree and (ditto or double…) Masters’ degree, a “graduate diploma in law”, yet she seemingly cannot understand the simple concept that people are released from prison according to strict rules and regulations under law. They cannot be kept in prison for arbitrary reasons. This is the UK, not a banana republic like Ghana, from where Ms. Ribeiro-Addy’s parents came. The UK may be becoming a banana state, and MPs such as Ms. Ribeiro-Addy are accelerating that process, but we are, thankfully, not quite there yet. I feel a blog article in my “Deadhead MPs” series coming on…

The “Secret Barrister” on Twitter, often worth reading, has this to say about the governmental response:

It will be recalled that I have previously blogged about Dominic Cummings, Boris-idiot’s lunatic-in-chief:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2020/01/03/dominic-cummings-a-government-of-dystopia-and-lunacy-posing-as-genius/

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/10/les-eminences-grises-of-dystopia/

Boris-idiot, Dominic Cummings and Priti Patel at the head of domestic policy; what could possibly go wrong?…

“Secret Barrister” adds:

The tweeter below attacks the “Secret Barrister”, but he himself has little (in fact nothing) intelligent to say, which means that he has a good chance of becoming a “Conservative” MP at some point in the future, so long as the Jew lobby does not dislike him.

Another tweeter seems to imagine that the terror attack might have been stopped, had the local police station still been open and full of police, though she adds a rider:

https://twitter.com/Nadine_Writes/status/1224022338842300417?s=20

Thus speaks a would-be “journalist” who writes for the Huffington Post joke “newspaper”. Her assignment for today? To look up the meaning of the word “uncanny”…Her usage reminds me of how (until someone told him he sounded stupid) Barack Obama would, in almost every second or third sentence, use the word “extraordinary”, and with great sonority…

As to the police, I do not see how their response can be faulted. They took out the terrorist only minutes (perhaps less than one minute) after he started his rampage.

It may be that the terrorist knew or assumed that he was under close surveillance, and that that was why he stole a knife rather than simply buying one with cash: had he bought one, the watchers would have assumed that he was about to attack; he probably underestimated the skill of the surveillance people, thinking that he could steal a knife without anyone seeing that he had done so. Having said that, some witnesses are saying that the terrorist took the knife openly. If that is right, my theory falls and I do not know what to think except that maybe the terrorist was seeking some spurious Islamist “martyrdom”, i.e. “suicide by cop”.

The governmental response is pathetic. The terrorist  had served a relatively short sentence. Had he had to serve the remaining months, would that have changed anything? No.

Now, while it is true that most (the vast majority of) Muslims in the UK would not commit such acts, or (arguably) even support them if done by others, a certain percentage of that Muslim population would either do them or support them. Active would-be terrorists are few.

There are, officially, about 2,660,000 Muslims in the UK, so the real figure may be about 3 million. Let us say that 1 in 10,000 is a terrorist or a would-be terrorist. That’s still 300. Not huge, but the State does not have the resources to keep 300 possible terrorists under 24/7 surveillance. What if the ratio is 1:1,000? That would be 3,000 terrorists. You see the problem. It takes dozens of operators, or at least 20 as a minimum, to keep close surveillance on even one person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 300 x 20 = 6,000 officers. 3,000 x 20 = 60,000 officers. No can do. Even if the number of police/MI5 etc needed is only 3,000, the burden is still too heavy. It’s not possible.

The only long-term solution is for the UK to become a relatively-homogenous ethnostate.

Mike Hoare

The legendary contract soldier, Mike Hoare, has died at the age of 100. Long ago, I knew a couple of people who had known him in Africa.

Of course, kneejerk “antifascists”, bien-pensant scribblers etc will denigrate someone of this sort, but Hoare was a hero who saved many people from torture and death during the Simba rebellion in the Congo (1964-65). Not only Europeans, but Africans too. Nuns etc. Read Congo Mercenary before you judge him harshly:

The sort of adventurer and hero “Not Wanted On Voyage” in contemporary Britain, sadly.

Scotland and England

For myself, I am content to let the Scots leave the UK should they wish it, though in my view it is an unconvincing “independence” that would see Scotland dominated by the EU and international finance, by (presumably) NATO too, and with a population likely to be swamped by mass non-European immigration over time (though Scotland is at present over 95% white, which is probably why few Scots sympathize with English people who despair at their country becoming black/brown— “I’m All Right, Jack”…).

Any pull-out by Scotland would of course have considerable repercussions in terms of rump-UK politics. The 650 Westminster MPs would become 591 and, with boundary changes, perhaps only about 560. The Conservative Party would be dominant in the short-term, with the Scottish SNP and LibDem contingent no longer there.

Another day shuts down

Labour leadership contest

It has become clear over the past weeks that the stand-out preference, for the Jewish lobby at least, is Jess Phillips. Now she has “suspended” an “aide” because said aide (Muslim, judging by the name) tweeted anti-Israel comments before she was in Phillips’ employ.

https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/jess-phillips-suspends-key-aide-salma-hamid-anti-israel-tweets-antisemitism-labour-leadership-1.495280

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7877565/Jess-Phillips-suspends-one-key-aides-posting-offensive-antisemitic-tweets.html

It is thus also clear that Jess Phillips is willing to do anything to gain and retain the support of the Jewish/Zionist lobby.

The above Jewish Chronicle report is interesting also because the suspended “aide” is in fact Jess Phillips’ Constituency Office Manager. Now Jess Phillips is somewhere near the top of the list of MPs in terms of claiming expenses. She claims at least 50% more than most and double or even triple what some MPs claim. Within those expenses, she also “employed” her own husband as “Constituency Support Manager” from her election in 2015 until February 2019. In effect, she seems to have employed him as “House Husband”. We are not talking peanuts here. Something like £50,000 a year. No-one can say that Jess Phillips has not made the most of having blagged her way into becoming a MP.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/new-mp-jess-phillips-employs-9565645

I have myself blogged about Jess Phillips in the quite recent past:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/05/07/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-jess-phillips-story/

I suppose that Jess Phillips decided that it would be an easy hit for her opponents if she continued to “employ” her husband (something against Parliamentary rules for new MPs elected in or after 2017; but she was elected in 2015). That would seem to lead to the conclusion that she has had her eyes on Corbyn’s purple for a year at least.

I conclude also that the Zionist/Jewish/Israel lobby has decided to go for the candidate most willing to show herself or himself publicly as a complete doormat for Zionist and Israeli interests. Jess Phillips seems to fit. She is also very interested in money, as her expenses claims and other activities have proven.

Further, it seems that loyalty, for me personally a very high psychological value (after all, Meine Ehre heisst Treue…) means little to Jess Phillips. Her constituency office manager had worked for her for some time without a problem, and the tweets were all posted in the period 2014-2016, prior to that employment.

To gain the approval of the Jewish/Zionist lobby, Jess Phillips has thrown her employee (and in view of the intimacy of working relations between an MP and any constituency office manager, perhaps a friend) “under a bus”, in the oft-seen phrase.

The Zionist lobby has now laid down its arrogant “demands” to Labour: sign up to a document via which we shall control the Labour Party, its MPs, officers, members and supporters, or we shall destroy you.

https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/board-of-deputies-demands-labour-leadership-contest-race-candidates-sign-up-to-pledges-antisemitism-1.495274

Few Jews (<5%) vote Labour now anyway. The whole “community” numbers only 250,000-300,000 (though the statistics really need to be brought up to date and properly collated), so 5% of 250,000-300,000 = ~14,000 voters. What right have they to prioritize their own tribal interest(s)?

What makes “their” demands even more bizarre is that it was partly, indeed largely, because of the relentless attacks on Labour and Corbyn by Jewish Zionists in the Press, on radio, on TV and on social media that Labour lost the recent general election and lost it fairly badly (though in fact Labour still got 32.2% of the popular vote, as against 40% for the Conservative Party).

You can add to the above, the way in which “Labour” MPs (controlled or bribed or influenced by “the lobby”) attacked their own leader and Labour even during the election campaign itself!

I am not Labour, have never even voted for Labour, but if I were Labour, I would be disgusted at the antics of MPs such as Jess Phillips.

I have to admit, though, that she is cunning. Employment law was not something I specialized in when I was a practising barrister, so I hesitate to pronounce upon it now, but by suspending her constituency office manager rather than sacking her outright (or not doing anything), Jess Phillips can now say “I cannot comment because a disciplinary process is under way”…

Only complete subservience will now be acceptable to “the lobby”. Even Emily Thornberry, very pro-Jew, fairly pro-Israel and with a half-Jew husband (a High Court judge) is now unacceptable to “the lobby”!

EmilyThornberryIsraelLobby

[above, Emily Thornberry with her husband —at right— and the Israeli Ambassador, Mark Regev, at a Zionist banquet in London]

I think that I can see why “the lobby” is going with Jess Phillips. Not because she is part-Jew (though I suspect that she may be; however, I have so far found no direct evidence), but because she is willing to do anything to progress her political career, has no loyalty to anyone or anything (inc. the Labour Party, which she has called “just a f***ing rose”, after its symbol); because, also, she has no ideology or political principle and is not really a person of any education or culture. Malleable, biddable…

Greek Cyprus: the recent rape of an English girl by a feral pack of Israeli youths

What interests me is the entirely typical way in which (see below) the Jews’ lawyers conspired to blacken the name and/or reputation of the girl. It’s the sort of “pile-on” and conspiracy that we have seen happen in the political sphere too, not least in the UK. It happens when anyone has the courage and/or principle to stand up against “ZOG” or “the lobby”. Alison Chabloz has been but one such politically-hit victim.

I do have reservations about the conduct of the victim prior to the rape, but it would not be right for me to comment further, after her suffering at the hands of the Israeli rapists, suffering made worse by the typically-craven behaviour of the Greek Cypriot authorities.

I myself have been to Cyprus (once, in early 1999), but only to the Turkish-occupied Northern side. Back then, the border between the two sides was closed and relatively few British people went to the Northern side; before the 1974 invasion, though, there was a fairly large British expat community, part of which had been there since the days of British rule: see The Bitter Lemons of Cyprus, usually seen as Bitter Lemons, by Lawrence Durrell.

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

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

I do not have much time for the “alt-Right” wastes of space, such as “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin; he is one of the better ones, I suppose), but credit where due. Here [below] he defends freedom of expression and mentions the Alison Chabloz case:

More about Dominic Cummings and Boris-idiot

I have blogged several times about Dominic Cummings, the latest “lunatic in residence” at 10 Downing Street.

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2020/01/03/dominic-cummings-a-government-of-dystopia-and-lunacy-posing-as-genius/

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/10/les-eminences-grises-of-dystopia/

Now his “plan” to recruit “weirdos and misfits” to rule the UK, at the same time making established civil servants sit regular exams, has been heavily criticized:

https://politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/conservative-party/news/109008/boris-johnson-facing-cabinet-anger-over

The dissonance is surely obvious to everyone except Cummings: he says that he wants to recruit people unfraid of rocking the boat, yet his plan to take away job security from the civil service (one of the reasons many join in the first place) is likely to make people afraid to rock the boat, or to say or do anything that a superior might think odd or wrong.

I should think that the resentment caused by the proposed Cummings “reforms” might lead to sabotage and even treachery. The Kremlin must be rubbing its hands…Oh, no…wait…

Actually, the present eminence of Cummings (and his boss, Boris-idiot) is symptomatic of the UK these days. Boris-idiot, who has messed up every job he ever had, now “advised” by a man whose only known attempt at creating something was an airline that folded after a single flight! Now that same man is yapping about how many at or near the top of government are incompetents unfit to rule or lead or even be employed. Hello? Hello?

Harry and MM

I disagree with Katie Hopkins on much, but not this (except that I have no wish at all to have the old Prince Harry, or any Prince Harry, or any prince, back again…)!

As far as I am concerned, I can do entirely without Harry and without the Royal Mulatta.

https://twitter.com/KTHopkins/status/1216039037795852288?s=20

Had to laugh at Bette Midler castigating Piers Morgan (not that I like him much) for attacking Harry and MM. She said that he should be ashamed, because they are “half” Morgan’s age! Hardly. MM is 38, and will be 39 this year; Harry is now 35. Piers Morgan is 54.

I can see why she assumed that Harry and MM are younger than they are. Their naivety and youthful sense of entitlement and that the world revolves around them. In Harry’s case especially, he has always had his path smoothed, whereas in the case of MM, she was a Hollywood or off-Hollywood “star” of sorts, and we know how they are pampered.

Harry and the Royal Mulatta: A Continuing Bad Joke

On Twitter, there are many idiots who blame “racists” and “misogynists” for “hounding” out the Royal Mulatta and her henpecked little boy. Their huge privilege goes with certain approved and customary behaviours. They want the lifestyle (minus the duties) but can’t seem to behave. This was always going to be a disaster. Some of us predicted it. Cultural differences…

Let’s just leave it at that.

I have an idea for a sitcom or comedy drama: A British royal prince marries a black woman (darker than MM, in my screenplay) and gives up his position to live with her in Hollywood, Beverly Hills or maybe Bel-Air. The marriage goes sour, she chucks him out, he is unable to return to his old life so he becomes a mixture of “bum” and private eye (a la Rockford Files)…Working title? What about “The Private Eye Prince“? Only joking…though I suppose that the Queen or Charles will have to chuck the “prince” some money to prevent him selling used Cadillacs or making money opening stores on Rodeo Drive…

To be fair to MM, at least she has some idea of what it is like to live without everyone fawning simply because you are the holder of an inherited title (come to think of it, Harry never did have that DNA test done…).

One has to ask, where would Harry be without his princely title? A junior Army officer unlikely to be promoted beyond the rank of major? An estate agent? A car salesman?

That thought (where would Harry be were he not a prince?) brings me to another thought. Were he an average Joe in title as well as every other way, would MM ever have agreed to meet him, as we are told she did, on a blind date?

Meanwhile, the tweets just keep coming!

I like the one below! Ha ha!

Now of what does that remind me?

CWXQrXyWcAAn6PK

[for the historically illiterate, the above photos show Stalin with Molotov, Voroshilov and —brushed out of the second photo, having become an unperson— Yezhov, on the Moscow River embankment c.1937].

I am not a royalist, though not exactly an anti-royalist either. It all depends on circumstances and on the type of society.

“The welfare of the people is the highest law” [Cicero]. Harry has probably never heard that one.

For those who are dyed-in-the-wool royalists, and for those concerned about the —literally— millions of pounds of public funds spent only recently on renovating the “cottage” occupied by Harry and MM, I offer this consolation: Harry and the Royal Mulatta are still going to spend some time in the UK, their very presence providing balm and comfort to the repressed and suffering British people. Yes, indeed, they will fly in on private jets and helicopters to lecture the grateful British masses on “climate change” and, of course, “how to be multicultural”…So the £3M those taxed masses have had taken off them for the refurbishment etc (oh, and of course the £1M p.a. security costs, and the costs of world travel etc) have not been wasted. Oh, no, wait…

What is really funny is that all the “left wing” Twitterati, those who (you would imagine) oppose royal privilege, are actually on the side of Harry and MM. Ha ha! Those idiots.

“Ali G” said it!

Trump and Iran

Trump has appeared at a White House press conference slurring his words and even odder than usual. I have previously wondered whether Trump has suffered some physical brain abnormality, something causing organic change. So far no proof of that beyond his behaviour and his peculiar and puerile-looking tweets etc. Now he has had killed an Iranian general, has threatened to obliterate Iran (Hillary Clinton did that too; they’re both in the Jew-Zionist/Israeli pocket) but has not retaliated after Iran sent missiles into Iraq.

What’s going on? Has Trump been drugged to stop him launching a world war? Are we in “Seven Days in May“?

In the next 5 years, almost anything could happen.

Diary Blog, 3 January 2020

Just blogged (for the second time) about Dominic Cummings, the Boris-idiot “adviser” and circus ringmaster.

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2020/01/03/dominic-cummings-a-government-of-dystopia-and-lunacy-posing-as-genius/

Easy to laugh at, but withal quite serious. Maybe very serious.

Trump and Iran

The attack at Baghdad Airport will have one of three possible results:

  • Nothing
  • Out and out war between Iran and the USA
  • An oblique response from Iran.

No prize for guessing that I think that the third option is most likely. Outright war is impossible, a regional power without deliverable nuclear weapons against the world’s (still) only functioning superpower. So what would an “oblique response” be? Maybe something that hits the USA economically, maybe something such as the assassination of a head of state or government (keep your head down, Donald!), maybe the same but aimed not at the USA directly but at its allies.

Speculating in an admittedly not very original fashion, one might wonder whether Iran might not at some point launch an all-out missile and other attack on Israel. It might be said that Israel’s nuclear capability would render such an attack suicidal. True, but still, it could happen. A similar attack but on, eg, the United Arab Emirates. More likely. Or on Saudi.

As to Trump himself, I find myself wondering whether he has some physical problem with his brain. I was reading a few of his tweets. They seem abnormal yet not in the slightest intelligent. I suppose that the US President gets brain scans etc as part of the silly annual ritual of the President getting a clear bill of health. I suppose…

but Kipling got there first:

I WENT into a public ‘ouse to get a pint o’ beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, ” We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:
O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ ” Tommy, go away ” ;
But it’s ” Thank you, Mister Atkins,” when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it’s ” Thank you, Mister Atkins,” when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but ‘adn’t none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-‘alls,
But when it comes to fightin’, Lord! they’ll shove me in the stalls!
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ ” Tommy, wait outside “;
But it’s ” Special train for Atkins ” when the trooper’s on the tide
The troopship’s on the tide, my boys, the troopship’s on the tide,
O it’s ” Special train for Atkins ” when the trooper’s on the tide.

Yes, makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap.
An’ hustlin’ drunken soldiers when they’re goin’ large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin’ in full kit.
Then it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an` Tommy, ‘ow’s yer soul? ”
But it’s ” Thin red line of ‘eroes ” when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it’s ” Thin red line of ‘eroes, ” when the drums begin to roll.

We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;
While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be’ind,”
But it’s ” Please to walk in front, sir,” when there’s trouble in the wind
There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind,
O it’s ” Please to walk in front, sir,” when there’s trouble in the wind.

You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires, an’ all:
We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! ”
But it’s ” Saviour of ‘is country ” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An ‘Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool – you bet that Tommy sees!

Dominic Cummings, A Government of Dystopia, and Lunacy Posing As Genius

Dominic Cummings

Dominic Cummings is in the news again.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/02/dominic-cummings-calls-for-weirdos-and-misfits-for-no-10-jobs

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2020/01/dominic-cummings-has-serious-ideas-im-not-sure-hes-serious-about-them

I blogged about him 5 months ago:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/10/les-eminences-grises-of-dystopia/

Someone is at least on the right track…

https://twitter.com/dlknowles/status/1212812771416559616?s=20

https://twitter.com/thomjolliffe/status/1212816583237816320?s=20

Good grief! If this [see below] really is a snapshot of the mind of Dominic Cummings, then the government really is in the hands not only of idiots (eg Boris-idiot, Priti Patel etc) but of lunatics.

It also reminds us that lunacy is not really so hard to distinguish from genius, in most cases.

[Update, 23 January 2020: the full lunacy of Cummings’ blog post, some of which was in the deleted tweet above, seems to have been expunged from the Internet, though maybe one of his “weirdos and misfits” would be able to find it]

[Update, 12 May 2024: the tweet appears to have been reinstated on Twitter/X and so is now visible here too]

The above (apparently from a blog penned by Cummings) is an inward-gazing stream of consciousness (though purporting to be to the point) worthy of someone whose residential address ends with the word “Hospital”, or similar.

What makes it alarming is that Cummings is not just a stray “Conservative” (and the word seems ever-less useful as a descriptor) who is on the periphery of power (in the way that the Monday Club or the Bow Group used to be), but someone right at the centre of what could be (perhaps inaccurately) called the Johnson Project. Indeed, “Cummings Project” might be more accurate. Boris Johnson himself has few ideas beyond schoolboy fantasies such as building bridges from Scotland to Ireland, creating artificial islands with Metropolis airports on them etc.

There was talk before the recent General Election that in Cabinet (effectively in Cabinet; I suppose technically, Cabinet committee), Cummings actually overruled the Prime Minister several times. Not just spoke over him, but overruled him on decisions! Now, OK, the person posing as Prime Minister is Boris-idiot, a bad joke PM who is a proven serial —indeed constant— liar, incompetent and fantasist, but there is still such a thing as respect for the office itself…

Dominic Cummings seems to me (admittedly only from what I have read…I have never met him or anyone who has met him) to be like a person who is somewhere between a guest and a gatecrasher at a dinner party, someone who has no idea how to behave and who has no respect for the hosts, the guests, the staff or the event.

Is there anything correct about his views re. government and civil service? Yes, the gene pool is shallow or narrow; in politics now even more so than in the administration proper (Civil Service), but the answer to that is to carefully reform recruitment and training, as well as overall structure, not to let off hand grenades all over Westminster.

I think that we have to remind ourselves that governing the UK is not some kind of pathetic country house weekend game in the drawing room or Hall. This impacts on real people, in their millions, all over this country. It is not a matter of scribbling some clever little half-baked idea that can be run up the flagpole at the Oxford Union or (taking on board the Cummings dislike of Oxbridge) a Spectator drinks party.

This made me laugh, though!

I have to say that I agree with the tweeter below:

https://twitter.com/ElliotElinor/status/1212808853932445696?s=20

It may seem lazy to say “it is easier to destroy than create”, but the thing about truisms is that they contain truth. The machinery of administration and government in the UK was created over centuries, and particularly in the century or so since the mid-Victorian era. Once you tear it to pieces, you may find that groups of supposedly terribly clever little people, weirdos and misfits, sitting in groups around Whitehall, cannot in fact replace what presently exists.

Britain today has already suffered a number of shocks to its postwar (post-1945) stability: Thatcherism, mass immigration (accelerated since 1997), Blair-Brown “reforms”, the financial crisis of 2008, the fake “austerity” of the evil 2010-2019 “Conservative” governments (particularly the half-baked idiocies of Dunce Duncan Smith and his underlings). Now this.

Dominic Cummings is a History graduate, for what that is now worth. He will know, I presume, what happens to societies when everything that underpins their stability is knocked away. I presume that he also knows that revolutions usually consume their own children…

Some interesting and potentially important research into pain control:

More news about the half-Jewish “ho” madam, Ghislaine Maxwell:

Well, give that man a cee-gar! Turns out that I guessed right (I usually do, if I myself say so):

Jeffrey Epstein’s socialite ‘madam’ Ghislaine Maxwell ‘is being hidden from the FBI in a series of safe houses because of the information she has on powerful people’

  • Maxwell has remained incognito since Epstein’s arrest and death behind bars
  • New report claims both she and Epstein were ‘assets’ for a foreign government
  • Source says they funneled dirt on the rich and powerful to foreign spies
  • Now Maxwell may be hiding in a safehouse in Israel, the new report claims
  • She is a British and US citizen, and daughter of an alleged Mossad operative.

An explosive new report has asserted that deceased sex criminal Jeffery Epstein and his alleged ‘madame’ Ghislaine Maxwell were foreign intelligence ‘assets’, and that she is currently hiding in a safehouse in Israel.

She is not in the US, she moves around. She is sometimes in the UK, but most often in other countries, such as Israel, where her powerful contacts have provided her with safe houses and protection,’ the source said.

Born in France, Maxwell is both a U.S. citizen and British subject. Her family’s alleged ties to Israel’s national intelligence service, Mossad, have been well documented.

Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, was a Czech-born ‘British’ [Jewish] media mogul whose financial fraud in raiding the Mirror Group pension fund was discovered after his death in 1991.

Also a ‘British’ member of parliament, Robert Maxwell reportedly had ties to British intelligence, the Soviet KGB, and Mossad — and was suspected of being a double or even triple agent by British Foreign Office officials.

The latest about Boris-idiot and his dystopia-salesman

I have blogged previously about Dominic Cummings, eg here:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/10/les-eminences-grises-of-dystopia/

Well, now it appears that he wants to shake up the UK and its civil service in a way not seen since the 1980s, or arguably since the 1860s…

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/02/cummings-likely-to-have-big-influence-over-whitehall-reforms

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/civil-service-dominic-cummings-boris-johnson-seismic-changes-a4324346.html

The shake-up of the Civil Service seems to be in the hands of Dominic Cummings but is being written about by a “Conservative” insider with a new name —new to me at least— called Rachel Wolf. Presumably Jewish.

[addendum and further to the above: http://www.publicfirst.co.uk/our-people/rachel-wolf]

[Further addendum: The author noted above is a partner at a firm of lobbyists called Public First. Another partner there is one Gabriel Milland, who was previously “Head of Media” at the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre [BICOM], effectively an arm of Israel though funded, at least notionally, privately. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain_Israel_Communications_and_Research_Centre

and

https://www.prweek.com/article/980043/daily-express-gabriel-milland-joins-britain-israel-communications—research-centre

It will be recalled that, prior to her becoming a Labour Party MP, Ruth Smeeth, who lost her seat at the 2019 General Election, was exposed as having been a “confidential contact” of officials at the US Embassy in London, as well as having been deeply enmeshed in the activities of the Israeli Embassy. Ruth Smeeth was also, before that (2005-?2009), Director of Public Affairs and Campaigns at BICOM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth#Early_life

It appears that, of the four partners at Public First, one, Natascha Engel, is a former Labour MP, acquainted with Maurice Glasman, now Lord Glasman (whose brother is a very active member of the malicious Jewish-Zionist “charity” known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. If the connection is not fraternal, perhaps a reader can tell me).

https://www.totalpolitics.com/articles/interview/engel-%E2%80%98-last-two-years-have-been-hell-earth%E2%80%99

The UK has been shaken to the core already, though it may look much the same on the surface. The Thatcher years, then later the Blair-Brown regime, followed by the evil policies of 2010-2019. Now this.

We could be looking at the collapse of society before very long. What will then be society’s judgment upon those who precipitated such collapse?

Migration-invasion

Always amusing, though predictable, to read the tweets of those determined to believe that the influx of the backward peoples into Europe, including the UK, is somehow “beneficial”, something to be (in the usual bastard language) “celebrated”. Here we see tweeters “Femi”/”@Femi_Sorry” (the African talking head the System now has on Sky News The Pledge) and “ArnieSpanner”/”@unexpectedgoalz”, both struggling with the facts ( click to read the thread)…

https://twitter.com/JRothsfield/status/1212367237820157954?s=20

The degeneracy of those who support migration-invasion

Here we see Zoe Gardner aka “@ZoeJardiniere”, who was so upset to read my tweets about mass immigration that she blocked my account after she had indulged in some truly pathetic bleating. That was a few years ago. She’s still at it, though (I suppose that she cannot get a better job):

Well of course it would be terrible if women in the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands etc actually had “nice white kids” instead of agitating for the invasion of their countries by backward migrant-invaders…Oh, no, wait…

Carlos Ghosn

I know little of the rights and wrongs of the Carlos Ghosn case, but his escape from Japan was brilliant, bearing in mind the resources the Japanese brought to bear on him.

Corbyn

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7818831/Jeremy-Corbyn-tweets-happy-Hanukhah-message-sparking-fierce-response-Jewish-editor.html

Corbyn is still trying to say to the Jews, “hey, man! Respectttt!”. What an idiot. “They” will hate you whatever you say. Anyway, why wish them “Happy Hanukah”?

Many misguided Christians think that the Jewish religious festival of “Hanukah” is somehow analogous to Christmas, the profound Christian religious festival of birth and peace. Wrong. “Hanukah” is, like most other Jewish religious festivals, an ethno-nationalist celebration of resistance and victory (of Jewish triumphalism if you like), in this case the rebellion of the Jews against their Greco-Syrian overlords in the 2nd Century B.C. (or “B.C.E.”):

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah#Story

What was the Jewish response to Corbyn’s olive branch? “Jeremy Corbyn‘s annual ‘happy Hannukkah’ message to Jews in Britain and around the world has prompted a furious reaction from, amongst others, the editor of a Jewish newspaper, who told the Labour leader: ‘go f*** yourself!’“… [Daily Mail]

Need one say more? Corbyn has seen and experienced the way in which the Jewish lobby has conspired against him and the Labour Party for over four years. Why give them the satisfaction of throwing a peaceful greeting back in your face? Just cold-shoulder them.

As with the Diane Abbott situation, Corbyn seems incapable of learning from experience…

Meanwhile, Labour leadership contender Rebecca Long-Bailey is attacked by the Daily Mail (which seems to be afraid of her…):

  • “Labour frontrunner Rebecca Long-Bailey has said her political outlook was shaped by watching her father worry about losing his job at Salford Docks
  • But the Shadow Business Secretary, born in September 1979, would only have been two when the docks closed in 1982.” [Daily Mail]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7818065/Momentum-founder-advising-Labour-leadership-hopeful-Rebecca-Long-Bailey.html

Well, if Jews can be terribly upset about the death or disappearance of remote relatives that they never even met, and indeed who died or disappeared long before they, the descendants, were even born, why should Rebecca Long-Bailey not…? (well, you get the idea…).

Looks like there is something rotten in the state of Boris…

Blyth Valley

I am reading “mainstream” analyses saying, as my blog did in the days since the General Election, that the Conservatives only have those Northern and Midland seats “on loan”, though I do not use that term. I said that the Cons have “shallow roots” there.

The msm are still trying to say that huge numbers of voters turned to the Conservatives; but we know that the Conservative vote increased by a mere 1.2% nationally over 2017. The real story was and is the collapse of trust in Labour and support for Labour. It is probably true that the Con vote increased in those Northern and Midland areas by more than the national average, and did not increase, or it fell, in some other areas.

In the most striking result, perhaps, Blyth Valley went Con after 69 years (the seat was established in 1950 and won by Lab, by Alfred Robens who later, as Lord Robens, was chief of the National Coal Board).

The 2019 Con vote, however, only increased by 5.8% over 2017. The real story is earlier: the Con vote increased from 13.3% in 1997 to 15.9% in 2001, was 13.9% in 2005, and 16.6% in 2010; not much difference. However, the 21.7% the Cons got in 2015 jumped to 36.9% in 2017, then 42.7% in 2019.

What happened? What happened was that national sentiment increased and “proletarian” old-style “socialist” sentiment took second place to that.

Only once in the 69 years did the Conservatives come 2nd where there was a third candidate at Blyth Valley, and that was in 1960 when an Independent stood. The Conservative Party has otherwise always come 3rd or 4th.

In 2010, there was an identifiable “national” vote at Blyth Valley: BNP 4.4%, UKIP 4.3%, English Democrats 0.8%. So 9.5% in toto (Conservatives 13.3%, LibDems 27.2%, Lab 44.5%).

In 2015, only UKIP represented a kind of “national” vote, and received 22.3%, beating the Conservatives (21.7%). Lab won with 46.3%. You can see that Labour only beat the combined UKIP/Con vote by a couple of points.

In 2017, no UKIP or other “national” party, and Labour’s vote surged to 55.9%, easily beating the Conservatives’ 36.9%, but in 2019, Brexit Party stood, getting 8.3%, and the Labour vote collapsed to 40.9%, allowing the Conservatives to win on 42.7%.

For me, the dynamics are clear. The Brexit vote only went partly to Brexit Party (which also was probably perceived as not fully “national”. The Conservatives benefited, though —as said above— by only 5-6 points over 2017. Turnout was 3 points down from 2017. The Brexit Party votes were probably from former Labour voters. Labour only lost to the Cons at Blyth Valley by 1.8 points. Those 8.3% Brexit Party votes were crucial. Had Brexit Party not been there, the vote would have been closer by far; Lab might have won.

The old “proletarian” certainties have disappeared at Blyth Valley, along with the coal mines. Only traces remain. That has cut the ties binding the voters to Labour.

Leaving the Brexit issue aside, as presumably will be the case next time, it can be seen that Blyth Valley will either revert to Labour or may go to a new party, so long as it is both “national” and “social”…

That may be the case in most of the new “Conservative” seats.

NHS

What was that that Boris-idiot was saying about “no plans to sell off NHS”?

Dan Hodges, faux-proletarian, who lives in his mother’s house in Blackheath (she being the once-famous actress, Glenda Jackson), describes Corbyn supporters as “parasites”…So speaks the scribbler who scribbles for the Mail on Sunday (formerly for the Sunday Telegraph) and of whom Wikipedia says: “Hodges is the son of the actress and former Labour MP Glenda Jackson and her then husband Roy Hodges.[4] He worked as a parliamentary researcher for his mother between 1992 and 1997, describing it as ‘straight-forward nepotism’.” “His former colleague Mehdi Hasan described his…role with The Daily Telegraph as one where he “now performs the role of the right’s useful idiot”. “In 2014, Hodges co-founded the Migration Matters Trust, a pro-immigration pressure group chaired by Barbara RocheLord Dholakia and Nadhim Zahawi and run by Atul Hatwal.”

I know which group of (((parasites))) I should prefer to see driven out of Labour!

Deadhead MPs, An Occasional Series: The Matt Hancock Story

I saw this piece by journalist and former Cameron-Levita speechwriter Ian Birrell, sometimes seen on the TV newspaper reviews:

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/one-nation-toryism-has-died-a-brutal-death/

Ian Birrell’s view of Matt Hancock

It would be a brave person who picked out the politician that has most debased themselves since the Brexit debacle exploded. But among the favourites in this crowded field would be Matt Hancock, the over-promoted health secretary who switches views so freely whenever he sees any threat to his seat at the cabinet table.

One minute he is a compassionate conservative, bitterly opposed to No Deal, valiant defender of businesses and vowing to fight on the beaches to prevent the proroguing of parliament. Then he pops up a few days later to do his latest leader’s dirty work by arguing passionately against his own previously stated views.

Hancock personifies why so many voters have lost faith in Westminster. He is a plasticine politician, moulded by others into contorted positions while posing as someone of stature. Last week he tweeted that one of his jobs was ‘to stick up for doctors’ after Jacob Rees-Mogg compared a neurologist with whom he clashed to the disgraced medical fraudster behind the measles epidemic – but only after the leader of the house was forced to apologise by a tide of outrage. Then after Amber Rudd found her backbone, he expressed sadness at her resignation but hoped ‘other One Nation Tories will stay and fight for the values we share.’Note how this ludicrous figure still dons the mantle of One Nation Conservatism when he is serving the most divisive prime minister and right-wing government in modern history. In just a few short weeks Boris Johnson has trashed constitutional norms, jeopardised the union, risked peace in Ireland and purged many of his own moderates as he completes the transformation of the Tories into the Brexit Party.”

Well, this is about “Matt” Hancock MP, not Conservatism as such, so I shall leave aside the question of how Ian Birrell can call what has happened in the UK since about 2007, mostly under “Conservative” Prime Ministers, “compassionate” or “decent”: the hounding of the sick, disabled and generally poor by part-Jap sadist Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “lord” Freud, Esther McVey, David Gauke and others; the human skeletons and terminal cancer sufferers found “fit for work” by the politicized DWP bullies, the hate campaign by (again, part-Jew) George Osborne, and so on.

I recall seeing Ian Birrell himself on BBC or Sky News newspaper review arguing for a retention of prescription charges despite the fact that only about 1 out of 8 persons actually has to pay them anyway (the under-18s, over-60s and any people on State benefits or below a certain income level do not pay), so the amount saved by all the cross-checking and snooping is small in governmental terms. But we can leave that aside for now and return to “suited thug” Hancock (my soubriquet for him on Twitter, until the Jew-Zionist lobby had me ejected).

Hancock’s biographical details

Hancock’s parents are affluent and own a software company in his native Cheshire, where he studied at an independent school and a further education college, before going up to Oxford. He achieved a First in PPE and then, at Cambridge, an MPhil. All very impressive, or would be, were one ignorant of the fact that, thanks to award inflation in recent decades, no less than 33.9% of Oxford students get Firsts (and 93.8% get either Firsts or 2:1s!). As for a “Master’s” degree, well, hardly anyone fails, unless they drop out or die.

Matt Hancock did not die, sadly. He joined the Conservative Party, worked for his family business for a short while, then took a job “as economist” at the Bank of England. No detail available except that it concerned mortgages. How much of his time was taken up in making tea, one does not know. That lasted for about a year or so, before Hancock became, in 2005, an adviser and then Chief of Staff for George Osborne, which latter role he had until 2010.

Hancock became MP for West Suffolk, a safe Conservative seat, in 2010. In that position, and later as junior minister and then Secretary of State, gaffe-prone Hancock has been notorious for sheer nastiness and general incompetence.

In January 2013, he was accused of dishonesty by Daybreak presenter Matt Barbet after claiming he had been excluded from a discussion about apprentices after turning up “just 30 seconds late”.[12] Barbet said Hancock knew he was “much more than a minute late” and he should have arrived half an hour beforehand to prepare for the interview. His opponent expressed surprise that “a minister whose Government berates ‘shirkers’ couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed to defend his own policy”.” [Wikipedia]

In March 2013, Hancock initiated and assisted the development of the Conservative government’s minimum wage policy. Against internal and external party opposition, Hancock highlighted that most economic analyses demonstrate that raising the minimum wage had “no discernible effect on the employment prospects of low-wage workers”.” [Wikipedia]. Perhaps not, but Minimum Wage does ensure that workers in low-paid work are at least paid something approaching decent if very modest pay…Hancock would not understand that, having only worked for his parents and then as an office bod in the Bank of England.

In the July 2014 cabinet reshuffle, he was promoted again, this time to Minister of State for Business and Enterprise, Minister of State for Energy, and Minister of State for Portsmouth. On 27 July he announced protection from fracking for National Parks[14]—seen as a method of reducing anger in Conservative constituencies ahead of the election.[15] Interviewed on the Radio 4 Today programme, he rejected the suggestion that fracking was highly unpopular but when challenged was unable to name a single village which supported it.” [Wikipedia]

In October 2014, he apologized after retweeting a poem suggesting that the Labour Party was “full of queers”, describing his actions as a “total accident”.” [Wikipedia]

He became Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General on 11 May 2015.[20] He headed David Cameron’s “earn or learn” taskforce which aimed to have every young person earning or learning from April 2017. He announced that jobless 18- to 21-year-olds would be required to do work experience as well as looking for jobs, or face losing their benefits.” [Wikipedia]

Hancock supported Remain in the 2016 EU Referendum.

Hancock was promoted from his position as a junior minister within the Culture department to…Secretary of State during the cabinet reshuffle of January 2018.[25] he was then promoted further to Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on Monday 9 July 2018.” [Wikipedia]

Hancock [was] the first MP to launch his own smartphone app in 2018.[27] The head of privacy rights group Big Brother Watch called the app a “fascinating comedy of errors”,[28] after the app was found to collect its users’ photographs, friend details, check-ins, and contact information.” [Wikipedia]

In April 2019, Hancock, who had previously said the NHS would face “no privatisation on my watch”, was criticised for allowing 21 NHS contracts worth £127m to be tendered.” [Wikipedia]

Incredibly, this useless and unpleasant person, having been promoted to Cabinet only 8 years after having entered Parliament, then put himself forward as candidate for Conservative Party leader and so, by default, Prime Minister! However, he was knocked out during the first ballot, having received only 20 votes out of 314.

Now Hancock, having supported Remain until 2018, is apparently all for Boris Johnson’s “no deal” (WTO) Brexit! Many suggest that he wants to keep his feet under the Cabinet table (well, why not? You get double the pay that way…). Also, he may think that, as someone who is still under 40, he has the chance to strike out for the leadership again if he can keep in the spotlight as “senior” government minister and Conservative MP.

Some may ask why Hancock, with his Oxbridge degrees and economics background, is in the Deadhead MPs series at all. Sadly, these days, a degree is far from a guarantee of intellect, still less wisdom, and anyone who has seen Hancock’s frequently pathetic and floundering performances on television since 2010 will struggle to see the “suited thug” as anything other than a born and bred deadhead.

Much water under bridges since I penned the above assessment about Matt Hancock. He is now the main face of the Government in the coronavirus “panicdemic”. I think that I shall wait until a later date, though, before properly updating this article.

Hancock will find his political career finished now, at least in Government. Boris-idiot will not take him on again, so avoiding msm and public flak, and “Boris” can now blame Hancock for any and all “Covid” lapses since early 2020…

Update, 27 November 2022

Matt Hancock was not offered Government preferment by either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak. He then decided to let down his constituents by accepting a reputed £400,000 to spend a month in Australia on the I’m A Celebrity show. That despite the fact that he was (and at time of writing still is) being paid a full MP salary, plus Parliamentary expenses.

The links below tell the story to date:

https://www.itv.com/news/2022-11-26/matt-hancock-reaches-im-a-celebrity-final-as-eighth-contender-eliminated.

Hancock has lost the Conservative Party whip, which I doubt will be restored, meaning that, as of the next General Election, his political career is at an end.

West Suffolk is a very safe Conservative seat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Suffolk_(UK_Parliament_constituency)], which would mean, in the unlikely case that Hancock is able to regain the whip, that he might be one of a relatively small cadre of Conservative Party MPs surviving what is likely to be a political massacre at the next general election.

Likelihood is that Hancock will not stand at the next general election, but will either go into business of some sort, or perhaps get into TV work, if his lack of both integrity and personality is not an insuperable handicap.

Update, 7 March 2023

Many will now be aware that Hancock decided to “grift” more money by having the well-known or notorious journalist Isabel Oakeshott ghost (-write) a book of his “Covid” period memoirs. The results have been explosive, after Ms. Oakeshott revealed thousands of messages among the Westminster supposed “elite”, mocking “ordinary people” and admitting to wanting to “scare the pants off” the public.

Hancock has announced his departure from the House of Commons (as I predicted would happen).

Hancock’s book has bombed, in fact. He may well have been given a large advance, though.

Politically, Hancock is finished, and he is now scrabbling to be given immunity from suit or prosecution.

Another System politician who deserves, at the very least, a good kicking.

Update, 23 November 2024

Hancock did not contest the West Suffolk constituency at GE 2024. His successor, Nick Timothy, managed to hold on, with 34.3% of the vote (Labour 27.2%, Reform UK 20.8%).
