In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent. I avoided the supposed “vaccines” and am very glad I did.
Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.
My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.
As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.
Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.
In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!
The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!
I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…
When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.
Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.

Ok. Finally pulled the plug over there. Difficult, as it gave me a voice when I struggled in real life. It took me some wild places. It’s a dark place now, and I can’t be a part of it any longer.

The “most immediate” threats to the British people are internal, not external— the migration invasion, the degeneracy of the mainstream media, the Jew-Zionist lobby, the Islamist/Muslim lobby, and the increasingly feral British population itself.
Russia is no threat to the UK. More specifically, Russia will only be a threat to the UK if NWO/ZOG/NATO keeps pushing for war.

It is hard to see how imposing tariffs on imported items such as food will lessen the cost impact on American consumers, unless domestic producers take up the slack.
In other words, anyone posting anonymously on the Internet will be tracked down and harassed in various ways, if the poster is deemed “anti-Semitic”. On the other hand, the legion of Jew-Zionist trolls abusing people anonymously should have their identities and other details protected. That is what those bastards (tweeting above) really mean.

If this is as reported it is so sickening that I simply cannot comprehend how Welby can remain as a priest, let alone Archbishop https://t.co/2DSSq6yVpd
Ha ha! Justin Welby, who has bent over backwards for the Jewish lobby for years, has now blotted his copybook by suggesting that the so-called “holocaust” is not the most significant event, or series of events, or possible events, in history…
The author of the cited piece says that many dissidents are forced to “keep quiet” in order to avoid being “cancelled”. He does not explore the possibility that some dissidents, “cancelled”, censored, unable to express views, or put forward ideas, might decide to strike back at their imprisoners, or tormentors, or at the self-appointed “leaders” and “influencers” of the very sick society that is developing fast in the UK, USA etc. Action directe?
On the wider point, the people generally, “the plebs” if you like, do not want “authoritarianism” as such; they want “authority”, in the sense of statesmen in charge of government, rather than clowns like “Boris” and his cronies. People who know what they want for the country, and know how to get things done. Look at the part-Jew/Levantine chancer! He can do nothing except to spin fantasy islands, fantasy bridges, fantasy airports etc. Incapable of being a Prime Minister. Totally unfit for his, or any, office. Not that Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is any better. He is equally useless, simply less colourful.
The people also want TV news that reports facts, rather than the present BBC/Sky propaganda mouthpieces.
The people also want decent and working administration, both at central and local government level.
The people want a proper NHS, a National Health Service, not a “National Covid Service” run for the benefit of those who work in it.
The people also want to be a functioning nation-state, with a basically white European population, not a multikulti, dystopian chaotic mess, kept like that for the profit and benefit of “a certain tribe”.
The above is in fact only part of the entire problem.
A declaration of war on freedom of expression in the UK
The present situation in Afghanistan is the “fault” of a number of parties or players: the backward Afghans themselves, the now-long-gone Soviet Union (for the 1979 invasion), the USA (for arming the Islamists, and for later invading Afghanistan along with NATO satraps —notably the UK—.
While I do not favour the importation of large numbers of Afghans (or any other brown/black people) to the UK, for me it is simply a matter of honour and gratitude to extract the relative few who worked openly with UK forces as interpreters, along with their immediate families. To abandon them to the “mercy” of the Islamists would be, for me, not a decent option.
That, despite the fact that I always opposed the intervention.
As for the thousands, if not millions, particularly women, who face death or degradation under Taliban rule, there is nothing that can now be done for them, unless the “West” is willing to reoccupy the country and (this time) rule it as a straight occupying and colonial power. That at least would be both honest and effective. It will not happen.
Ekranoplan
It may be worth looking again at the Ekranoplan. Same goes for Zeppelins (lighter-than-air craft) and other “discarded” technological manifestations. The hovercraft was at first dismissed as a cranky idea; the inventor, Cockerell, received scant thanks or honour in his lifetime (though the UK government did eventually grant him a special payment).
Readers of the blog in recent days will have noted that the appeal of Alison Chabloz, from her magistrates’ court conviction and sentence of early 2021, failed on Friday. She was remanded, oddly, in custody, until sentencing (set down for tomorrow, Monday 16 August 2021).
I myself cannot see any proper reason why she was remanded in custody, despite the presiding judge saying that he was “minded” to increase the sentence handed down by the magistrates earlier in the year.
Alison has served about 9 weeks of an 18-week sentence, i.e. the usual proportion before having been released. If the sentence on Monday is custodial (there remains a small chance that it will not be), then the maximum would be 6 months, meaning that Alison would expect to be released halfway through, at 3 months.
Alison has now served over 2 months, has several days “credit” due her for time wrongfully served in 2020 (her appeal against that succeeded when the CPS declined to disclose the backstairs manipulations of the CAA fake charity and some political figures), and has now served another 3 days (inc. tomorrow). That being so, she should only have to “sit” (as the Russians say) for another 2-3 weeks, even if she is (ludicrous as that would be) given the maximum sentence of 6 months. That is assuming release halfway through the sentence.
Still, not very nice for Alison, who has only been convicted, this time, for expressing opinions on history and society, really. The UK is becoming a (gradually-expanding) police state.
If anyone wishes to support Alison at court tomorrow (Monday 16 August 2021), she is going to be produced in person for the sentence. I apprehend that several Jew-Zionists are intending to attend so that they can gloat. What more would one expect from such tasteless creatures?
The matter will come on “not before 1230” at Southwark Crown Court; presiding and sentencing judge: H.H. Judge Beddoe.
That does not mean that the matter will be heard at 1230. It might be 1230, it might be 1245. It might be later. Courts usually break for lunch at 1300 hrs until 1400 or even later (the High Court usually resumes at about 1430).
When I often appeared at the High Court, in the early/mid 1990s, matters were often set down “not before…”, often with a time estimate (anything from 5 minutes to several days).
So this matter might well only start after 1400 hrs. How long? Depends on what the judge wants to examine and what he wants to say.
The court is (quite short) walking distance from London Bridge, and slightly further (but still within easy walking distance) from London Bridge Underground.
I read somewhere that a high proportion of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and survive (surprisingly, some do) realized, after they had jumped, that they wished that they had not jumped.
I wonder whether those who realized that they wanted to survive (and/or prayed?) and did survive, are just a random group, or did some (or even all?) survive because they wanted to and/or prayed? There is of course no way to tell whether prayer or desire make any difference.

I realized decades ago that the “Right” and “Left” labels had become meaningless. Lazy msm scribblers, though, are still trying to fit facts, events and ideologies into those moulds. Surprising to see Peter Hitchens still mired in such nonsense, all the same.
As I have blogged many times, socialism in all forms died in and after 1989. That is why “socialist” or “social justice” types have so little to say now. They have become irrelevant.
We move now to 2022 and the following 33 years. Everything we now see on the international stage is connected to that: the “BLM” nonsense, the “panicdemic” measures and restrictions, much of the “climate change” stuff, the migration-invasion of Europe, the move to a “cashless” (totally-controlled) society. It’s all being co-ordinated.
Late tweets
PM says in pool clip that what’s happened “was a chronicle of an event foretold, we’ve known for a long time the way things were going.”
But that wasn’t what he was saying on July 8th where he said there was “no military path to victory for the Taliban.” https://t.co/CRep4qmkB7
Coincidentally President Biden also asked about Afghanistan on 8th July: asked whether he saw any parallels between Saigon/Vietnam and Kabul/Afghanistan: “None whatsoever. Zero”, he replied.
Quite funny, in a sense, that even now, after 20 years of Johnson’s clowning, after 2 years of Boris-idiot posing as Prime Minister, msm scribblers and talking heads are still asking about, in effect his (non-existent) competence for the role…
Boris Johnson is totally incompetent, totally unfitted for any senior political role. A part-Jew clown, chancer, joker, gambler, without any principle or principles, withot any real ideas of any kind. A total political idiot. Need one really keep repeating this?
As for “British Intelligence”, it (like much of Britain) has lived off its hump and its mostly undeserved reputation for a very very long time, and if it failed to notify its Whitehall and Downing Street customers in advance of the fall of the Shah of Iran, or of the Argentine invasion of the Falklands, or of the fall of the Soviet “empire” and the collapse of world socialism (and add to that the consequences of toppling Gaddafi), then it certainly is not surprising that its assessment of Taliban strength, order of battle, and of the general situation in Afghanistan was equally useless (it seems, looking from outside).
Possible today marks the end of something- or rather, Afghanistan catching up with something. The last decade saw the West lose all political will to conduct sustained interventionism. Hard to imagine in what circs West would intervene now. That moment feels as if it has passed.
“Intervention”, in order to create a new imperium in a given geopolitical space is one thing: Alexander, Rome, the British Empire, Germany seeking Lebensraum in 1939-42, the Soviet Union seeking Eastern/Central European hegemony after 1945; all of those had a strategy, a plan, and —crucially– “ideology”.
Then we have the US/”NATO” (NWO/ZOG) invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, and (attack on) Libya. No plan, no strategy, no idea of staying for the long-term and creating any new society, or colonizing those areas. Somewhere between pointless destruction and a geopolitical gesture.
Pathetic. The Western leaders of today are dwarfs in the geopolitical arena.
