I just saw something I wrote about 3 or 4 years ago (not on the blog). Around 2022.
I think that it has held up rather well:
“Looks like I was far too kind (as usual) in describing William and Harry simply as “the tame thick princelings” a few years ago…
The Royal Mulatta is a ruthless manipulator and adventuress. Harry is, in the vernacular, a “fuck-up”. He has not [as some newspaper scribbler claimed] “risen from” anywhere. His one and only distinction, and ticket to fame and fortune, is his birth. He has nothing else.“

They’ve <created> a new offence for this precise purpose “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance” (2022)
— Gas Lighting Services 🇷🇺 (@TauntonHeat) March 30, 2025
As I predicted during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, Britain’s toytown police state, which had been developing slowly, embryonically, since the days of Blair, which grew (largely unnoticed) during the days of Cameron-Levita and Theresa May, and which hatched out during the “Covid” years of 2020-2022, has now started to behave like a real East German (DDR)-style police state.
When it comes to free speech, freedom of expression, even political freedom as formerly understood in this country, the police are now running out of control. This has been developing over about 25 years.
I happened, unusually, to be watching, this morning, I think on Sky, a political show hosted by Trevor Phillips. There was a panel of three scribblers/talking heads, and guests one by one, of which one was Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary (also, former expenses cheat, would-be dictator, moneygrubber, and member of Labour Friends of Israel).
Yvette Cooper did not even try to answer the concerns of the presenter about freedom, civil rights, “democracy” etc, just gave out a bland robotic, scripted response, in the old Blair-Brown way she learned back then (when not defrauding public funds).
In fact, the same was true when Yvette Cooper was asked about the Labour government of Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves cutting off the benefit income of the sick, disabled etc. No real answer.
I hope that at least some of the voters of Runcorn and Helsby were watching. The by-election is set for 1 May 2025, the same date as the local elections. Voters, you know what to do. You have to vote Reform, even if you dislike Reform, or Farage, or the Reform candidate. Why? Because only a stunning win for Reform will send a message to the main System parties.
Only a dummy would vote fake Labour now. Even the “Con” governments of 2010-2024 did not go as far as the “Labour” (Friends of Israel) government is going, attacking people they think cannot hit back.
Of course, it would be stupid (especially at that upcoming by-election) to vote fake “Conservative” either. Not only because the Cons have no chance of winning at Runcorn and Helsby (only 16% in 2024) but because voting Reform increases the already-good chance of Labour losing.
Incidentally, unpleasant Helen Whately, the Shadow DWP Secretary, said in the Commons very recently that Labour’s callous and cruel attack on the sick and disabled did not go far enough! Surely the Conservative Party must be totally washed-up now.
Also incidentally, the panel on that show were all unimpressive, with one (Guto Harri) looking scruffy and unwashed.

When the electoral system is largely rigged, when the “elected” government (in the case of Labour, “elected” by only about 20% of all eligible voters, and by only 34% of all actual voters) ignores the popular will and popular desperation, when the government throws money at foreign dictatorships (eg Ukraine) and migrant-invaders while beggaring most British people, and when the mainstream media carries only lies and government propaganda, the whole system is likely to fail and to fall, but a new order will only be established via real struggle.

From the horse’s mouth. If 2024 Conservative voters at Runcorn and Helsby want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the only way to do that is to vote Reform. This could be the most important by-election of the decade.
In that by-election, a Con vote is a completely wasted vote, so either vote Reform, or stay home. Likewise, if 2024 Labour voters want to send a message to the present fake Labour-label regime under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, and Liz Kendall, then the only way to do that is to vote Reform or, failing that, to stay home.
I saw that little weasel on TV, smirking by the side of “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves in the Commons. Only now can I identify the bastard.
Here he is, being questioned by Victoria Derbyshire:
“Your reforms will push an extra 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into relative poverty… wow..” @vicderbyshire challenges Darren Jones MP on the welfare reform impact assessment which he says doesn’t account for “the positive benefit of moving into work”#Newsnightpic.twitter.com/fD9GTZnYlM
I suppose that I am old-fashioned enough to tend to think that someone called “Darren” should never be an MP in the first place but, leaving that (which I concede is probably unfair) aside, this particular Darren is the very personification of the German saying “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death.“
According to Wikipedia, the weasel is married to some fake “social entrepreneur” whose business failed. She is now apparently making money out of the “net zero” nonsense championed by the fake “Labour” government of which her own husband is a key member.
Jones is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, like all or almost all of the Starmer-stein government.
Listen to his dishonest weaselling in that Victoria Derbyshire interview. A soulless, heartless careerist.

It is almost funny how typical Westminster Bubble scribbler/talking-head types such as Nicholas Watt talk about speculative economic figures as if they have some kind of reality. “Real disposable household income to rise this year by twice as much as expected“…as of now, just empty words from “Rachel from Accounts”; meaningless.

I agree. Basic Income (at some level or levels) is the way to go. Do away with making amputees, the chronically-sick, and/or the unemployed jump through hoops. Shut down 90% of the DWP, and much of HMRC (which latter is like something written by Franz Kafka).
Not just a question of fairness or compassion. Basic Income works.
Jeez, @darrenpjones just dismissing everything as hypothetical. People might get jobs, they might not! Even by today's dreadful standard of politician, this is breathtakingly and even brazenly out of touch. #Newsnighthttps://t.co/MxekLGCK3m
What are Starmer/Reeves doing 1) implementing such cruelty 2) expecting their MPs to stand by it. They’ve put their own people in the worst of all worlds.
The first test of the public mood will probably be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, about which I have blogged in the past few days. The pollsters and bookmakers are forecasting a probably marginal or modest win for Reform UK. I disagree, though I do see from where that comes, looking at the fact that, in 2024, the constituency was the 16th-safest Labour seat. However, much has changed since the General Election of 2024 and, in any case, only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour even in 2024 (4 out of every 12 actual voters) in the country as a whole.
I am thinking that Reform will smash the by-election, despite the fact that Labour got over 50% in 2024 while Reform only got 18.1% (Cons 16%).
Everything has changed since July 2024:
a. the imperative desire to kick out a “Conservative” government headed by a (perceivedly) “unelected” and non-white PM (by voting Labour) is no longer there;
b. the continuing migration-invasion;
c. the harsh sentences given to people who supported the anti-invader protesters last summer;
d. the taking away of the pensioners’ Winter Fuel Allowance money;
e. the freeloading —and what amounts to casual petty corruption— of Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner etc.
Now also the latest terrible attack on the sick, disabled, and unemployed, as bad as anything done by the Conservative Party in office 2010-2024.
Former Labour voters will either not vote or will change to Reform, to punish Labour. Former Conservative voters will (though how many ?) vote Reform as a quite (and the only) realistic way of sticking it to Labour, Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves etc. People who favour Reform anyway will be motivated to vote because they know that this time they can win. People normally perhaps unlikely to vote, but who want to yell “NO!” to everything happening in this country, will mostly vote Reform.
On that basis, I think that it is possible that there could be a stunning win for Reform. If that happens, it will be the death-knell of the Starmer-stein fake “Labour”-label government, despite the fact that it has 4+ years left in office, in theory.
Election Day has not yet been notified but is widely expected to be 1 May 2025. Just under 5 weeks from today.

“Refugees welcome” idiots such as Zoe Gardner (@ZoeJardiniere), Yvette Cooper etc have encouraged this aspect of the overall migration invasion, yet they themselves live in comfort, and far from the mean streets where the tragedy is mostly played out.
Acc. to Electoral Calculus, that translates to 215 Commons seats for Reform (largest party, but a plurality and not a majority: Lab 153, Con 151, LibDem 61, Greens 6 etc). A minority Reform government, with some kind of Con support, probably.
“I think there’s been some confusion online in recent weeks so let me clarify my view If you arrive illegally in this country you should be deported If you are a foreign national and break the laws of this country, you should be deported And if you are a dual national who is convicted of rape gang activity, you should be deported If you read my Substack newsletter or watch my show you will know these are my views and yes I have changed my views in recent years I think losing control of our borders while presiding over mass controlled immigration has been one of the most extreme and damaging policies the elite class has pursued It will go down in the history books as one of the biggest policy failures on record It has undermined our economy, divided our nation and weakened our democracy Only by doing what I suggest above, alongside dramatically slashing the amount of legal immigration into Britain, and removing Indefinite Leave to Remain, will we restore public trust in the system and our democracy Where I draw the line, however, is against those who think it is somehow desirable or possible to deport British nationals. It is neither. Which basically puts me where the average voter is. So that’s where I stand. Remove those who break our laws while respecting the British people who respect and uphold our laws.“

That Torsten Bell idiot is so obviously a careerist and hypocrite. Frighteningly thick, too, for all the Oxford PPE degree etc, and with no real principles or ideals, or even ideas. Just a careerist drone. Sickening. This is neo-Blairism without even the fig-leaf of public good that Labour displayed 1997-2010.
The Torsten Bell idiot reiterates the now-standard bs (first seen per Dunce Duncan Smith etc, during the 2010-2015 years of the Cameron-Levita “Conservative” government) about how cutting the income of those already poor or very poor somehow saves them from being “written off”! The sheer lying hypocrisy is stunning.
When I see lying hypocrites and System careerists such as Torsten Bell, I think “that is why you need concentration camps” (at very least).
I see from Wikipedia that that Bell individual is 42, 43 later this year; looks and sounds like a recent graduate, though he must have graduated 20 years ago. No weight, very very unconvincing, and also very plainly in it (politics) for his own benefit.
Torsten Bell has just accused me of defending a Tory welfare system. That is a lie. I have consistently called for reform of the system but not a reform based upon billions of pounds of cuts that will harm and put the lives of disabled people at risk.
That little Torsten Bell blot seems oblivious to the fact that, in contrasting what the Starmer-stein “Labour”-label misgovernment is doing with what he calls the “Tory welfare system“, he is actually presenting even the cruel/callous policies of the Conservatives from 2010-2024 as having been better (less cruel and less callous) than those of Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, and Liz Kendall.
My illustrious MP , parachuted into a safe Labour seat ,he’s a despicable man. This happened to my husband who is now dead . The pip process is dehumanising.”
I thought that that tweet was worth reproducing in detail, especially since the lady who tweeted it later deleted it for some reason (possibly upset).
Voters of Runcorn and Helsby, send this evil “Labour”-label misgovernment a message by voting Reform at the upcoming by-election. No matter if you do not like Farage, or disagree with some Reform policies. The thing to do is to stick it to both Labour and the equally-misnamed Conservatives.
In an ideal world, I should like very bad things to happen to many System politicians but, in view of the fact that we live in a gradually-encroaching police state, I prefer to say no more, and to let the readers of the blog read between the lines.

Put the policy aside for a moment. The tone adopted by government ministers today – aggressive, uncompromising, arrogant – could not be less appropriate when talking about cuts to vulnerable people’s benefits. It was the same when they cut Winter Fuel Payments. No idea why they…
Because Starmer-stein’s own attitude has transmitted itself to his Cabinet and thence to almost all Labour MPs…i.e. “we are the masters now“, but I remember how rattled and, in a word, scared, they all were when the so-called “riots” (protests) happened last summer. I think they were at least slightly wondering whether they would end up dangling from lamp-posts, as happened to the Communist secret policemen of the HVA after the eruption of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.
The arrogant and cruel attitude of the Starmer-stein government might and in fact would turn to grovelling supplication if a British uprising were to occur.
On the wider question, Basic Income is the only way forward.

“The pen is mightier than the sword” [Bulwer-Lytton]
The former MP, unimpressive Labourite drone Mike Amesbury, stepped down a few days ago, having been convicted of common assault and sentenced to 10 weeks in prison. He had drunkenly assaulted a complaining constituent in the street one evening.
The sentencing judge (district judge/magistrate) expressly refused bail pending appeal, so Amesbury was hauled off to prison briefly before, a couple of days later, having his bail application and appeal very expeditiously heard, his sentence then having been suspended. He does, however, have to do 200 hours of unpaid work; the imprisonment, unpleasant though it would be, might have been less onerous; also, the “10 weeks” would actually have been only 4 weeks long. Still, few would choose the imprisonment (given that choice).
Amesbury, to give him his due, could have simply put one or two fingers up to Labour (which has suspended him) and society, and carried on as an independent MP for the next 4 or so years (though a recall petition might have forced him out later this year). Instead, he decided to step down. I have to admit that I would not have done so, were I in his place.
As to the by-election, Labour won easily in 2024, but that was then; its 52.9% of the vote is not going to be replicated in the by-election. In the opinion polls about the by-election, Labour is only a point or two ahead of Reform UK (in the 30%-33% zone), with the Conservative Party on 20%, a few points higher than in 2024 (perhaps surprisingly).
The “experts” mostly think Labour will win the by-election, though the bookmakers (often unreliable guides in political betting) think Reform has the better chance.
My own view is that only dummies would vote “Labour” (aka Labour Friends of Israel Con-lite) now, after the disastrous past 8 months. Still, there are plenty of dummies out there…
The Conservative Party only scored 16% in 2024, and has no real chance in the by-election, so if Con voters want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the obvious thing to do is to vote Reform. As I said, though, the UK is not short of dummies. Time and again we see voters march out to vote for parties that have no chance in a given seat.
Reform itself has been damaged by the recent infighting, perhaps, but the anger and frustration of many voters should not be underestimated. People wanted rid of the 14 years of “Conservative” misrule, only to find that, by reason of a semi-rigged FPTP electoral system, they are now misgoverned by a “Labour” regime even worse (and even less compassionate) than its Con predecessors.
On that basis, I think that Reform has a good chance, a very good chance.

"Terms like 'far-right' are now being stretched by liberal progressives to try and silence, stigmatise and shut down voters who question the established consensus among elites. Many voters can now see this"https://t.co/dmSQkhk9mG
By my use of Electoral Calculus, that might translate to Lab 476 Commons seats (overall majority 302), Con 68 (official Opposition), LibDems 62, SNP 13, Reform UK 4, Plaid Cymru 4, Greens 2 (Northern Ireland 18, Others 3).
What kind of “democracy” is it, though, when a party (Labour) might get 39% of the popular vote, yet get about 72% of the seats in the House of Commons (476 seats)? A strict 39% of seats would be 253 seats.
Another party (Conservatives) might get 19% of the popular vote, meaning, on strict mathematical equivalence, about 124 seats, not the mere 68 conferred by FPTP voting.
As for Reform UK, its present or forecast 17% should confer (under proportional voting) about 111 seats. The forecast under FPTP voting— a mere 4.
There again, the LibDems, with only 10% of the popular vote, are forecast to have 62 seats, almost the same as under a strict proportional allocation (65).
Can such an electoral system even be called “democratic”? Open question.
The DDR was a strange little country, in which I spent a couple of days in 1988; actually, not quite as small a country as commonly imagined: about 42,000 sq. miles, as against England’s 51,000, but with an overall density of population about a third of England’s (the UK as a whole has about 94,000 sq. miles).

This seems like a bit of a tipping point / watershed moment. My gut tells me that a decent proportion of Tory voters were waiting on this moment – using it as a test to see if Reform really could be considered a legitimate political force.
By my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that actually puts the Cons in a marginally better position than other recent polls, by reason of the slip in Labour’s position, but it still means Lab 466 (overall majority 282), Con 70, LibDem 70, Reform UK 4, Greens 2.
Were Labour to recover to 40%, the number of Con MPs would reduce to 51; were Labour to rise to 41%, the number of Con MPs would be a mere 42.

Penny Mordaunt is campaigning not so much for the Conservative Party as for her own political career (in fact, her career full stop, for she has no other). It seems 50-50, at best, that she will be re-elected anyway.
Labour is as dull as ditchwater, as witness its pathetic Manifesto for the General Election, but I do not think that it much matters now. The main aim of 80%+, maybe even 90%, of the electorate is to get rid of the Conservative Party not just for the next 5 years but permanently. Starmer and fake Labour will only fail to sweep all before them —by default— if something so devastating happens to their campaign that it is hard to imagine what.

White South Africans should never have given in to the ANC. They should have held out and fought on. In fact, they should have “doubled down” on everything.
After the fall of socialism from 1989, the Soviet Union all but collapsed, the DDR/East Germany imploded, Cuba suddenly became visibly what Soviet aid had disguised for 20+ years, i.e. a ramshackle Caribbean/Latin American dictatorship, and the African countries bordering South Africa fell even deeper into poverty, civil upheaval, corruption and crime.
In other words, the ANC and its “military”/terror wing would have had no means to carry on much of a war. If South Africa had held on, and had accelerated its plans for a kind of “Federation”, including some areas with African domestic autonomy, and had the white South Africans closed down most of the —mostly Jewish-owned— English-language newspapers (and TV), there would have been a kind of victory, or at least not the terrible situation that has developed in the past 30 years.
South Africa had, or was developing, advanced weaponry: nuclear, biological etc.
The Africans were, in effect, told that the reason most of them were poor was because the white man was, usually, richer. After “majority rule” (corrupt African crony rule) that would of course be different. The ANC failed, and inevitably failed, to deliver. Hence the African masses, their lives as bad or worse than under National Party apartheid rule, now turn to ever more extreme demagogues. The future seems bleak, both for most Africans and most of the remaining white South Africans, some of whom can trace their South African identity back to the 17thC.

OK, so as I’m reading this, Labour are saying that they want those who CAN work to do so. I’m not seeing anything here about enforcement of Disabled & Sick like with Tories. I believe opportunities may be more of the policy here. Sounds a lot fairer.
What would (those Hitler called) “dirty democratic politicians” (and parties) do without mugs such as tweeter “@BoudicaWitch”?

Yes I'd hope so. My assessment is there's a sufficient number of backbenchers who will oppose plans that are too draconian. Still, the noises from Labour are *not* comforting and appointing Liz Kendall as W&P sec. was definitely sending a message.
Utter mugs. “Labour” is just a label now (like “Conservative”). Both parties are NWO/ZOG fronts. That “assessment” by tweeter “@RattusMalumus” is not an assessment at all but a pathetic grasping at straws.
Kendall has made clear the strategy for increasing the Disabled workforce is hiring mental health therapists to deliver privatised CBT. Will there be sanctions for any disabled person whose impairments are not helped by that approach?

“A police officer and his wife have been jailed after sharing video footage of a dead body at a murder scene.
Cameron Lee Hanson, 33, was a serving officer at Lancashire Constabulary when he visited a home in October 2021 and discovered the body of 45-year-old James O’Hara. Hanson’s body-worn camera recorded the chilling scene at the property in Lancashire.
But minutes later, he used his personal phone to take videos of Mr O’Hara and sent audio messages about the incident to his wife, Kirstie Hanson, 33, a police civilian work.
On Thursday, Cameron Hanson was jailed for 32 months, while Kirstie Hanson was jailed for 18 months. Charlotte Riley, who was sent one of the videos, received a 12-month sentence suspended for two years. Last April, Michael Hannan, 32, was jailed at Preston Crown Court for five years and four months for the manslaughter of Mr O’Hara who he punched in an unprovoked stranger attack.“
[Daily Mirror].
How absurd is the UK now? Yes, the defendants should not have done it. By all means sack the policeman, and maybe fine him, and his wife, and even the woman who was sent the material… but prison? Seems almost ridiculously harsh, as does the term imposed— a headline 32 months for sending some video footage, as against 64 months for the defendant who actually killed the victim!

Oh…and muzzled (facemasked) as well.
Meanwhile, inside Waitrose, no social distancing, and a ludicrous “one way system” for shoppers. As for the facemask muzzles, the only real utility of them was probably for the shoplifters, who probably found them useful in defeating cctv operators etc.
Oh, yes…another aspect of that madness of a few years ago, locally, was the pub opposite Waitrose, where no social distancing, and no facemask muzzle “rules”, applied. What a farce the whole “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic was!

As to the renewed attack on disability benefits, desperate clutching at straws by a government trying to appeal to people who know nothing, read the Sun, Star etc, and who might be persuaded to vote Conservative as a result of all this kefuffle.
I doubt whether it will work. People in all sorts of conditions of life want rid of this government and its venal, ignorant MPs, and are just waiting for the opportunity to put their “X” in any box but the one marked “Conservative Party”.
This contrived storm around disability benefits is also designed to deflect attention from the renewed slaughter in Gaza.
While there is a section of the UK electorate easily fooled by rhetoric against State benefits generally, those voters are mainly those already intending to vote Con at GE 2024; probably already within the Con “core vote” bloc which is about 20% of the entire electorate. That 20% can probably be characterized broadly as “over 65, retired, owner-occupiers, living in Southern England”.
Using the Electoral Calculus website, the most recent opinion polling indicates that, after GE 2024, the number of Con Party MPs might well be below 50. This contrived storm is a desperate attempt to seize back the initiative; I doubt that it will work.
Disabled people have already got the rough end of the stick when it comes to day-to-day living

I happened to see an old Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee vampire film yesterday. When it comes to most MPs, certainly most MPs on the “Conservative” benches, my feeling is similar to that of Peter Cushing and others “driving the point home” in such a film…
I myself do not receive any disability benefits, but understand the issues. How is it that a Cabinet minister with specific responsibility for those issues seems to be so lacking, both in knowledge of them, and in both reason and compassion?
Huge numbers of people (in my opinion, far greater than the number who favour Labour-label) want to stamp on and wipe out the “Conservative” Party. I am one of them.

I believe that military people refer to such methods (boobytrapping cans of food etc with explosives or poison) as “technical attack”.
When dealing with such as the IRA in the 1970s, or the ZANLA terrorists in the Rhodesia of the same period, it might have been justified (in rural areas where arms dumps or support stores were found), but surely not when applied as a form of terrorism on an urbanized civilian population.

I have seen the usual Jew-Zionist lawyers arguing narrow legalistic points about whether what the Israeli Jews are doing in Palestine and particularly in Gaza is “genocide” or not. The reality is that this is at least a quasi-genocide. If it falls slightly short of a fully-delineated, legally-rubberstamped “genocide”, that is really only of academic interest.
Incidentally, Jews wanted to destroy the German people in the 1940s. That was why the atomic scientists, almost all of whom were Jews, developed the first atom bomb. They did so despite there having been a small theoretical possibility that the first full test would set alight Earth’s atmosphere and destroy all life on Earth.
The atom bombs were designed to be dropped on Berlin and other German cities, not Japanese ones. Those working on them were willing to accept that much of Central Europe might be devastated and irradiated.
Ironically, the terrible and devastating defeat of the German Reich in the Spring of 1945 saved Germany and much of Central Europe generally from atomic devastation.

“So we are now in a different situation. We’re looking at Ukraine. Russia, in the last two and a half years has built up an enormously powerful and successful force. This is battle hardened, well-equipped, well-led, well-trained, highly disciplined.
The Ukrainian force has been annihilated. They’ve lost over 600,000 dead on the battlefield. There’s nothing left. The place is falling apart. And most of the money you were talking about will never get there. It’s simply sent through the washing machine over to defense and then to the defense industries, and then the donations flow back to the hill. So it doesn’t, you know, it’s not a question that we’re sending 60 billion and putting it into Zelensky’s hands now.
Now Zelensky and his friends will profit, no doubt about it. Let’s not kid ourselves. They’ll get some of it. How much? Who knows? I mean, this is the most corrupt country in the world. This is a country that has missing children, probably at this point in the hundreds of thousands. Prostitution, out of control. I mean, you’re talking about criminality on a scale that we in the west can’t even begin to imagine. It’s a tragedy. It’s the worst of all possible outcomes. The Ukrainian nation has been destroyed. Why? Because it’s mortgaged to our vanity.
In the west, Russia must be taught a lesson. Russia must be destroyed. Putin must be removed. Really? Why? Well, because we’ve decided that we want to strip Russia of its resources. So we turned Ukraine into a battering ram designed to stab Russia in the heart. The Russians woke up, not completely, but at the last minute, and decided, well, we probably should intervene here and stop what’s happening and signal just how serious this is, in our estimation. So they did, and they found out it’s much worse than we thought.
The force is much larger, much better trained. It has much more equipment. This is a far more serious problem. And as a result, they had to step back, establish a defense, build up their forces, and now they’re moving, and they’re going to finish the job.
Finish the job means everything from Odessa up to Kharkov is back in Russian hands. And those areas are originally Russian anyway, as has been pointed out. Your question is, what happens to the rest of the country that is west of the Dnieper River, this rump, Ukraine, and I think it’s going to become a giant demilitarized zone, a DMZ, similar to what we have between north and South Korea. There will be nothing there. There won’t be any fighting forces of any kind. And the Ukrainians can live there. And they may have some form of administration, but they’re not going to be permitted to ever again present a direct threat to Russia.
You pointed to the CIA stations and laboratories inside Ukraine. The Russians have overrun those. They know what’s there. They know what we’ve been trying to do. They know that we’ve been experimenting biologically with various weapons that could be used against them. This is insanity. And it was never necessary.
No one in the United States supported that. No one in the United States was consulted. So what do they do? They lie. They create a narrative. Russia is a revanchist nation. Russia is the Soviet Union reborn. We must stop it and defend democracy. That’s all crap. That’s nothing to do with any of it. And of course, Kiev is not a democratic state. Zelensky is not a democratic leader. He makes Stalin look good. So he’s going to go out of business. He’s going to vanish here over the next 30 to 60 days.
Whether he succumbs to whatever the Ukrainians decide to do with him on the ground, I don’t know. I’m sure that his foreign mercenaries that are surrounding him, special ops types from the United States and Britain and other countries, will do everything they can to keep him alive. But at some point, even they may abandon him. But the narrative persists because the media is an arm of the government.
This is very similar to what Noam Chomsky wrote about during Vietnam. Manufactured consent creates the illusion that this is something we all want. No, we didn’t want it. We didn’t ask anybody to open the borders. We did not ask for millions of people that we don’t know and know nothing about to come into the United States. And what do we do with millions of people who can’t find work? Especially if we go into the serious financial crisis that every sane person on the planet is predicting is coming.
What else can we say? I wish I could paint a positive picture.“

Nathan Cofnas, an early career research fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, is understood to have had his relationship with the college ended following an investigation into his conduct.
Mr Cofnas came under fire in February after he published a blog post which claimed the number of black professors at Harvard would ‘approach zero’ in a meritocracy, and that ‘Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’
He also dismissed equality between people of different ethnicities as a ‘thesis’ that is ‘based on lies’.
Mr Cofnas, who describes himself as a ‘race-realist’, is understood to have been informed of the college’s decision by letter on April 5, which stated his posts were in violation of its diversity and inclusion policies.
Last month, the first black man to ever be appointed to the head of a Cambridge College, Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, held an event with students and the master of Emmanuel Doug Chalmers to discuss their concerns.
Lord Woolley, who was previously appointed by then-Prime Minister Theresa May to head the UK Government’s Race Disparity Unit, told the assembled students that free speech must be protected, but this did not extend to ‘abhorrent racism’.
Emmanuel’s Master Mr Chalmers had initially backed Mr Cofnas’ right to freedom of speech, but the college soon launched an investigation, alongside other probes by the University and the Leverhulme Trust, which provided him with a research grant.”
So the “diversity hire” has no understanding of the concept of free speech, or the concept of academic freedom, yet has been appointed principal of a Cambridge University college…
What a surprise, in the UK of 2024. Not.
The “Readers’ Comments” on that Daily Mail report are interesting. Almost every one supports the researcher, as do the votes on those comments.
Incidentally, the researcher in question is Jewish, so he cannot be described very plausibly as “Nazi” (nicht wahr?). See also a piece written on another subject by him: https://thecritic.co.uk/twilight-of-the-liberal-jew/.

The little Indian money-juggler is trying to ape the vulgar and unpleasant attacks on the sick, disabled, and unemployed that characterized the 2010-2015 government of Cameron-Levita, Osborne, and Dunce Duncan Smith.
If Sunak thinks that this tired and derivative form of “gutter politics” will fly, he is very mistaken. I was looking at the “Readers’ Comments” in the Daily Mail on this. Only about 1% support the policy and/or think that it will ever be possible (or desirable) to implement it.
We read that there is currently an “epidemic of shoplifting“. What does Sunak imagine will be the result of cutting off the last peanuts lifeline to people, leaving them totally desperate, destitute, homeless etc?
If Sunak and the Conservative Party are trying to improve their electoral chances by this, they are in cloud-cuckoo land. The only people who will be impressed will be the hard core of unthinking Con voters aged 60+, and they will vote Con anyway.
Of course, none of the announced policies will be implemented, or implementable, prior to the General Election. The question therefore devolves to the response from Starmer and Rachel Reeves etc, who will probably be forming the next government. If they follow in Sunak’s footsteps, there could be something akin to an uprising eventually; certainly social upheaval.
Bismarck introduced the skeleton of a Welfare State in Germany 150 years ago, not because the Iron Chancellor was soft, or very kind-hearted, but because he wanted to divert any revolutionary sentiment in the masses. Looks like the UK’s pygmy politicos are going the other way.
He and his ilk have also overseen mass immigration that has stifled growth in pay, exported goods jobs, pushed accommodation, health etc costs through the roof and massively increased taxes etc making many feel little or no benefit from actually working/striving for success.
“A group of self-styled ‘Robin Hoods’ are bragging on social media that they stole from Marks & Spencer to give to food banks.
Campaigners from Everybody Eats, a group calling for direct action on food poverty, claim they launched their first raid at an M&S Foodhall in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester.
They also claim they will replicate ‘this all across the country’ until the government answers their demands on food security, The Telegraph reported.
Everybody Eats claimed that food banks were aware that the goods were stolen and suggested its members had been asked to help.“

Now, more information. Seems that the egregious Israel-based Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was involved (I was unaware of that until today, though did wonder when I saw a few tweets in the past week). He has messed up…again.
It seems Mr Lewis thought Mr Cantor had no assets and had financial immunity for my costs even if he lost.
The “misunderstanding” is catastrophic for Mr Cantor and his family because he must sell his house to pay my costs.
My opinion is that Mr Lewis should pay the costs! 2/2.
Lewis is actually a pretty poor lawyer anyway in my opinion (based partly on what I have read about him over the years), and he has in the past admitted that at times — apparently by reason of his prescribed medications, in part— he has, or has had, no idea of what he is or was doing.
Looks now as if that Cantor individual (of whom I know nothing, and of whom I had never heard until this case finished recently) will or might have to take legal action against Lewis himself if he is not to become homeless after his failed attempt to ruin a university academic. What a great pity…
It is not for me to pronounce on whether Lewis was negligent and/or dishonest in this particular case, but (once again) it seems that he has, shall we say, “questions to answer”.
Lewis, though now based in Israel, has a foothold in the UK as “partner” of a small law firm in West London.
Lewis is basically a self-publicist: see my previous (years ago) blog mentions of him.
That blog post contains links which detail many (though I think not all) of Lewis’s defaults.
There is a notorious Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter/X, and in the UK mass media, which has been determined for years to present Lewis to a gullible Press readership, TV-watching public etc as “hot shot lawyer”, or (as often described) “top lawyer“.
The fact is that, when Lewis finally left the UK for Israel (to live in Israel) about 5 years ago, his own Counsel said (at his “trial” before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in London, at which Lewis was found guilty of having posted savagely violent social media posts) that Lewis had “no assets” except his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. Even his car was being provided to him by the State disability benefit service, Motability.
Oddly (not), Lewis’s appearance before, and “conviction” by, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal was not covered at all by the “occupied” UK msm, and only briefly by a few law magazines…
More:
Wow! Mark Lewis acted for Daniel Miller and Nina Power against Luke Turner. Lewis’ clients lost in spectacular fashion. Mr Miller is now bankrupt. I am not sure about Ms Power.
It is awful the same will happen to Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor!
Seems that James Wilson is, on the face of it, a little too kind. Those Jew-Zionist fanatics (the defendants Cantor and Mendelsohn, whoever they are —I had heard of the unpleasant Newbon) were, after all, quite willing to ruin Mr. Wilson if they could.
As for Lewis, he is, in my opinion, repeatedly unprofessional, quite apart from, also in my opinion, being very far from as effective as his fellow-fanatics try to make him appear.
Lewis’s Third Witness Statementsays it— he “misunderstood“…
Mr Cantor was on a CFA with Mr Lewis, so if he settled with me for nominal damages and zero costs, he had to pay me almost nothing and his solicitor absoutely nothing.
Why would he have rejected this settlement in principle?
Lewis is no better than an “ambulance-chaser”, in my opinion.
For context. Mr Lewis referred to me as £19 Wilson because my maximum cost was £19/hour whereas his was £600/hour. And the Defendants – or perhaps Mr Lewis – refused mediation for two years until they lost the strike out application.
I keep seeing on Twitter/X that Lewis must be a great defamation lawyer because he “won when representing ‘Jack Monroe’ against Katie Hopkins, who lost and had to sell her house.”
True, Katie Hopkins did lose that case, and did have to sell her house to pay the legal costs supposedly incurred by that fraudulent purveyor of 10p-a-dinner swill, “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, before she changed her name).
What that story leaves out is that, firstly, Katie Hopkins was either badly advised or, as I believe was the case, not advised at all; she had no lawyers, and so persisted with a defence which was bound to fail. She never stood a chance, but her pride got in the way.
As for Lewis, a child could have won that case against Katie Hopkins.
So Lewis was trying to blag £600 an hour for his most recent defective advice? Well, he will get nothing now (again); he will have to keep the lights switched off in his flat in Eilat, and “collect the pennies on the empties”, as people used to say.
Unfortunately this is necessary because I am dealing with unreasonable people. This message shows Pete Newbon’s total faith in Mark Lewis (@MLewisLawyer) of Patron Law (@LawPatron) to look after him in the litigation. Pete guessed he had to trust Mark Lewis. pic.twitter.com/6uNzvceSj4
Typical Lewis: tries to intimidate people who have no assets beyond (perhaps) a residential property; they, he hopes, will settle and, crucially, pay supposed “costs” to Lewis, who then gets money without having had to win at trial.
The defamation case won by James Wilson, included references in the court judgment that Rachel Riley had promoted the crowdfunder by the defendant (who’d committed the libel) to employ lawyer Mark Lewis.

Lewis should be (at long last) struck off the solicitors’ roll; as for Myerson, the matter should be placed before the Bar Standards Board. I hope that Mr. Wilson complains formally to the BSB about him. In the meantime, Myerson should not be permitted to sit as a Recorder (if he still is so permitted after his previous defaults).
Yet another instance of Lewis having been, if not dishonest (?), then certainly negligent. That, at least, was the view of yet another High Court judge.
The world has had capitalist societies, socialist societies, feudal societies etc, but now, in the UK, has emerged a new form of society— the permanently “offended” society of fake “diversity”.
Most of the faked “offence” is taken by “the usual suspects”, of course.
The Daily Mail and Jewish/Zionist so-called “charities” (including the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) are whining because someone convicted (on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber) in 2018, and then sentenced to 6.5 years, is being released a few months before the end of his full term expires.
Most prisoners are released at, or even before, the halfway point. In this case, that would have meant release in 2021, three years ago.
I hope that the State will not be so cruel as to deny the young couple the right to have their child returned to them. To do that would be absolutely evil.
If the newspaper report (penned by one Iwan Stone, incidentally) is correct, the couple intend to live in Portugal when they can. Good luck to them as they move on from all of this.
Have they not suffered enough?
Literary thought
For no obvious reason, The Merchant of Venice springs to mind. I have not seen a proper production being put on for quite a while.
Othello seems to be more popular.
Perhaps it always was; it has also inspired more adaptations and variations, as in this old noir:

No matter how much money the U.S. Government sends to the Kiev regime, no matter even how much armament and ammunition is sent, the Kiev regime cannot “win”, even to the extent of occupying the Donbass and Crimea.
The Kiev regime army is flagging as many desert the field, and many more avoid conscription. To be recruited by the Kiev regime army is to be sent to quite likely death or life-changing injury on the front-lines, which are now starting to collapse.
Ukraine is producing few children, and a quarter or more of its pre-2022 population is living outside Ukraine. If American and EU aid stopped, there would be no fighting within a few weeks, followed by either a negotiated armistice or Russian victory. As it is, it looks as though this brutal war will smoulder on for months, maybe even a year or two.
In the end, though, Russia will “win”, in the sense of taking over all of Eastern Ukraine, and possibly the coast as far as, and maybe beyond, Odessa.
I watched a few minutes of a very biased BBC World News report about the war. The reporter, some bearded fellow whose name I did not catch, did say something about why Ukrainians try to avoid fighting. Apart from the obvious dangers, open-ended service (no way of getting out) and poor conditions generally.
What, however, made the report farcical was said reporter’s then assertion that Ukraine is a “genuine democracy“. Hardy ha ha… A “genuine democracy” that now refuses to hold elections, has banned trade unions, which press-gangs people up to age 60 and beyond to serve as cannon-fodder on the collapsing front-lines, and which shoots dissidents, or holds them without trial in unpleasant camps and prisons.

If Russia takes control of Kyiv, it will become a disaster for “American leadership on the world stage” that is much greater than the outcome of the Vietnam War. Boris Johnson is sounding the alarm.
He also said he was “praying” that congressional Republicans would end the roughly $60 billion blockade of funding to Ukraine, adding: “The situation is grim and the delay is appalling.”
The British politician also said that the chaotic flight from Afghanistan in 2021 is “nothing compared to a possible Russian victory in Ukraine.”
There are exciting possibilities opening up, potentially affecting not only the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, but also Central and Western Europe, including the UK.

Royal Navy recruits no longer need to be swimmers A source says there is concern about the change to entry requirements, which means there will no longer be a 30-minute swim test prior to being recruited, and brands the move "a sign of true desperation to increase recruitment… pic.twitter.com/WiwmSZYCFW
Very few choose to join any of the armed forces now, because the services have no prestige, a poor career structure (certainly for “other ranks”), poor housing and, at the end, after 3, 5, 10, 22 or however many years, are just dumped into civilian life, in many cases without non-military skills, without accommodation, and without much money.
Another point is that some potential recruits are being forced to wait for months, even a year or more, before being approved by the rotten private contractor, Serco.
Back in 1975, I was told by someone in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army that some people were desperate to join immediately because they had no roof over their heads, and literally no money. The Corps would stretch a point, and allow them to come in even before the paperwork had been completed, and before any binding commitments had been made.
Such recruits would be given accommodation (at Templer Barracks, Ashford, Kent, now turned into a housing development like everything else in England), would eat in the NCO’s mess (there are no private soldiers in that Corps), and something would be found for them to do for a few days or a week while the necessary box-ticking was being done.
If accepted, they would join the next recruit squad; if not, they might go elsewhere in the Army or, at worst, leave having had a week of food and shelter; no harm done. Not now.
Apparently, the various military units at Ashford (the Intelligence Corps at Templer Barracks, and also the much larger ordinary Army base which surrounded the guarded Intelligence Corps centre) have long since been moved on, and the area, redeveloped as housing, is now known as Repton Park, though I have just seen that there is a small reserve Army military presence nearby even today.
“George Henderson had to sell his home to repay nearly £20,000, years after ticking wrong box on carer’s allowance form.
A carer who says he was “dragged through the courts” and had to sell his home to pay back almost £20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an innocent mistake.
George Henderson, 64, said he made a gain of just 30p a week while claiming carer’s allowance for his son John, who has learning difficulties and is addicted to heroin. He now costs the Treasury £1,000 a month more in benefits, having become homeless and too unwell to work.”
[The Guardian]
Really absolutely disgusting. Britain in 2024.
Also, look at the sentence imposed by a Crown Court judge in respect of the matter:
“He protested his innocence but was found guilty. In 2018, a judge at Preston crown court gave him a 32-week suspended sentence and ordered him to wear an electronic tag for 16 weeks.
Henderson is one of a number of carers the Guardian has spoken to after exposing how people looking after disabled, frail or ill relatives are being forced to repay huge sums to the government and threatened with criminal prosecution after unwittingly breaching earnings rules by just a few pounds a week.”
“In the high street of Crookes, a leafy hillside suburb of Sheffield with a large student population, there were plenty of people saying they would vote Labour at the next general election – but most weren’t too happy about it.
“It feels like the lesser of two evils – it’s definitely better than going back to what we’ve got,” said Amy Pattison, a 24-year-old occupational therapy student at Sheffield Hallam university. “All I know is I won’t be voting Tory. And whatever I do vote will be tactical.“
Most people said they would vote Labour for one simple reason – to get the Conservatives out of power.
“I’ll be voting for Labour. But I’m more anti-Conservative than I am pro-Labour,” said Chris Macdonald, a 30-year-old teacher. “If our voting system was different I would be tempted by other parties, but it feels like it’s Labour or Tories, and I want them out.“

That chimes with my feeling about overall voter sentiment. Few people really like the Starmer version of the Labour Party, but almost everyone wants the Conservative Party to go down (and preferably never get up again).
