“Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.
“Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.
Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.
The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.
The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.
Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.
Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.“
Such people are wedded to the idea that the job of the Civil Service is “the management of decline“, in the 1960s phrase.
A lot of good accounts have been nuked the last few days. It’s only a matter of time for the rest of us. I would suggest moving to somewhere like Gab but it’s an echo chamber and at that point we’re preaching to the converted. Frustrating.

…as I have repeatedly blogged.
Iranian attack on Israel
Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.
I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.
Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.
Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.
Well, appoint members of the House of Lords from the bazaars of South Asia, from the slums of Jamaica and West Africa, and from the tribe of “the usual suspects”, and naturally the whole institution crumbles. Who would have guessed?…
NEW Overwhelming support for James Cleverly in 10 random interviews I’ve just done for @GBNEWS with members leaving the hall just now. Many have switched from other candidates. It seems Cleverly won the debate in the hall. Will MPs put him through to the final two next week?…
A half-African, with a “degree” in Hospitality Management from Ealing College, as Leader of the Conservative Party and, potentially, as Prime Minister? What could possibly go wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cleverly.
Having said that, the other three candidates are also bad jokes: a Nigerian woman married to a banker of uncertain provenance; a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”; a dishonest and corrupt moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. All three vocally pro-Israel.
At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.
I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.
For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.
At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.
None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

Still no word from Mark Lewis or his firm Patron Law if the costs schedule filed at court is true or false.
Patron’s website claims they give ‘straight answers’.
Self-publicizing, dishonest, and negligent lawyer (solicitor) Mark Lewis, once prolific on Twitter/X, has not tweeted for well over a month, not since his (and his wife, Mandy Blumenthal’s) fraudulent attempted political/money-compensation scam and stunt at the Edinburgh Fringe show of comedian Reginald D.

In other words, it became clear even to cloth-eared Sadiq Khan that that crazed American lesbian (on £132,000 for a 3-day week) was a total waste of space and, more importantly, was being seen as such by the whole of London (and beyond). In other words, Amy Lame has been sacked, but diplomatically.

I think that not only Jews are puzzled. Looks as though the Iranian forces prioritized military targets. It is uncertain, though, what proportion of missiles hit their targets.
Without more detail, such information is almost useless.

“Labour MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip with immediate effect.
Her resignation pulls no punches:
“As Prime Minister, your managerial and technocratic approach, and lack of basic politics and political instincts, have come crashing down on us as a party after we worked so hard, promised so much, and waited a long fourteen years to be mandated by the British public to return to power
Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous.
I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear.
How dare you take our longed-for victory, the electorate’s sacred and precious trust, and throw it back in their individual faces and the faces of dedicated and hardworking Labour MPs?!
The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”
I might not agree on everything with Rosie Duffield (specifically, her support for Israel and the Jewish lobby), but she certainly has principle. These days, in the political milieu, that is as rare and as valuable as rubies.
“Forcing a vote [on winter fuel payment] …while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for — why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?”
Starmer shows no embarrassment because he is not really a politician, let alone a statesman, but a technician, put into power by the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby to do a job: firstly to get rid of Corbyn and any non-Zionists in Labour, secondly to impose the ZOG/NWO regime, meaning pro-Israel and pro-“Ukraine” (the Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) internationally, and a kind of “great reset” domestically; thirdly, to destroy what little free speech and freedom of expression still exists in the UK, fourthly, to impose a “woke” dictatorship intent on shipping into the UK as many non-whites as possible.

They regard him getting voted out because he said his constituents were extremists and told them to fuck off as a terrible, unforgivable injustice and a threat.
Interesting. Something of which I was previously unaware. I suppose it might just be co-incidence, but there so often do seem to be so many “co-incidences”…
It should be illegal for Penny Mordaunt and Kemi Badenoch to promote Israel as if it's something they know or believe when it's just a paid promotion of a Foreign power for a fee like promoting Marlboro cigarettes.. And of course, the same applies to Keir Starmer and Labour.. pic.twitter.com/RTZWffWsnI
That kind of Jewish lobby (which after 1948 became also an Israel/State of Israel lobby) did exist prior to WW2. Churchill was its main agent; but it did not really or fully embed itself until after 1989, in the 1990s. Blair was, in this as in so many other negative things, the one who opened up the portal of darkness.
"I've always put my constituents first, and that hasn't changed." "Why don't you put that to the test?" "No."
Ha. Seems that her principles do not extend as far as giving up, or risking having to give up, the pay and perks of an MP. She understands all too well that, in a rigged system like this, the voting masses only vote for a label, at least 99% of the time. Which makes me wonder why she has left Labour. Maybe she will jump to Reform UK. Seems unlikely, though, especially in view of her solid electoral support at GE 2024— 41.4%, with Cons second on 23%.
I was just looking at Rosie Duffield’s bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Duffield. Not very impressive; not at all. The main thing that stands out is her pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby stance. I have noticed that the prolific and fanatical Jewish tweeters on Twitter/X always support her— a very bad sign.
Rosie Duffield cannot return to a well-paid outside profession or career, because she never had one. She dropped out of school at 16, and her main activity apart from being a mother was as a teaching assistant for a number of years. She was 46 when she became an MP in 2017.
Maybe Rosie Duffield, in the end, is just quite genuinely horrified by the evident unfitness of Starmer-Labour, and has simply decided to sit it out as an MP for the next 4+ years and then either not stand for re-election or maybe stand for Reform UK or as Independent. She might yet have a chance if she goes to Reform and if Reform is by then the main challenging party.
She is older than she looks and (born 1971) is now 53. By 2029, she will be 58. Perhaps she has little interest in continuing beyond that point.
As for Starmer, I said on the blog, about a week or so after GE 2024, that he had already failed in government.

“Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany’s main opposition party, the CDU, said that “Ukraine can never defeat Russia, and that was never the goal.” In an interview with Bild, he said that the allies are helping Ukraine “not to lose the war.”
Asked whether Ukraine should win the war, he replied: ” Ukraine will never be able to defeat Russia, that was never the goal. But for me victory means: it must restore sovereignty over its territory. And Russia must stop attacking this country. We must do everything to make Russia consider the continuation of the war hopeless. But we are quite far from that.”

Reminder: Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says free speech is a weapon of war, and censorship is necessary to protect free speech. pic.twitter.com/iM4g7RbyO7
That horrible creature of Evil, Jacinda Ardern, has been a major player in the attempt to create a world anti-white, anti-free speech dictatorship. New Zealand may be far away from almost everywhere but until about 30 years ago was an almost entirely English/Scottish new-ish society. That, of course, had to be trashed… How did they do it? Same as everywhere else of importance— imported non-white populations, and destroyed free speech.
People talk a lot of nonsense about how the white settlers took over the existing Maori state in the 19thC. There is of course a kernel of truth in that, but the main Maori invasion and/or settlement was in the 14thC AD, only c.400 years before the white European settlement. In any case, after the Europeans and Maori came to agreement, New Zealand was a progressive and peaceful society until the late 20thC.
Jacinda Ardern worked at a fairly high level for the UK Labour Party under Blair-Brown for 1-2 years before relocating back to New Zealand.
15 years as MP, of which about 6 were also years as Prime Minister (2017-2023).
One puzzling aspect of Jacinda Ardern’s political regime is that she came to power as Prime Minister with a rather small amount of capital, yet is now said to be worth tens of millions of NZ dollars. How?

Anyone who has lived in the USA knows to what extent the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby controls the major parts of the news media (TV stations, radio stations, the newspapers, magazines etc). I do not hear John Kerry talking about that, though…
While admittedly not germane to the tweet above, I do find it puzzling that the parents of Ed and David Miliband were supposedly “poor refugees” “fleeing” “Nazi-ism”, so how did they obviously have so much money?
“Belgian-born Marxist sociologist Ralph Miliband and Polish-born Marion Kozak [were] both from Polish Jewish families.[1][7][8] The latter was a teacher before she became a homemaker. He was given the middle name of “Wright” after the American sociologist C. Wright Mills, a friend of his father.[9] He has said “I am the child of Jewish immigrants and that is a very important part of my identity.”[7]
Both his Polish Jewish paternal grandparents lived in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw. His paternal grandfather, Samuel, a trained leather worker, served in the Red Army in the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921 before moving to Belgium.[10][11] His paternal grandmother, Renia (later known as Renée), also moved to Belgium, where she first met Sam, and the couple married in 1923.[12]
The German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England,[13] while Ralph’s mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950.”
[Wikipedia]
“Miliband’s parents grew up in the impoverished Jewish quarter of Warsaw, Poland. His father Samuel Miliband (1895–1966) was a member of the socialist Jewish Labour Bund in Warsaw.[11]“
[Wikipedia]
“Ralph married Polish-born Marion Kozak in September 1961.[25] She was the daughter of a steel manufacturer, David Kozak, with a Polish Jewish heritage, and also one of his former students at the LSE. They made a home in Primrose Hill, and later in Bolton Gardens, South Kensington, and had two sons, David in 1965 and Edward in 1969.“
So they flee penniless, supposedly, from mainland Europe, and not only get jobs in London; they have a house or apartment (I think house), firstly in the affluent area of Primrose Hill, and then in the extremely affluent/wealthy area of The Boltons, in South Kensington.
Even in the 1950s and 1960s, those were very expensive areas.
Moreover, their two children both go to university, and not just any university but Oxford (Corpus Christi).
Ed Miliband had so much money that, when he became Labour Party leader, Jeremy Paxman actually taxed him in interview with the question as to whether he had ever had trouble paying a bill. He floundered.
Puzzling all the same. We always hear how the “Nazis” confiscated all Jewish property. Does that mean that those Jews had riches stashed in other countries? If so, at least some “Nazi” propaganda would seem to be based on truth…
If you take away the msm scribblers and photographers, maybe 20 Young (not to say “callow”) Conservatives…
Labour are rubbish (and malicious), the equally-fake Conservative Party is equally-rubbish (the only reason Labour are in government is because almost all voters wanted the Cons out rather than Lab in).

I like that kind of aerial travelogue, and this one was done reasonably well, except that the (Northern English) voiceover insisted on using the term “Nazi” when she meant “German“, as in potential “Nazi invasion” of the UK, or “Nazi bombs” falling on this or that city. I was glad, though, to see/hear the amusingly nerdy young custodian (?) or historian at Bletchley Park refer, correctly, to the encrypted matter and codes being studied as “German“, rather than “Nazi“.

It's like we're being prepared, with tons of them saying "I'm done with Musk and X. If you want to follow me, I'll be on BlueSky." Feels like setting the groundwork so that everyone thinks "ooh, I'll move over there too", making it easy for the Labour Party to censor Twitter.
The David Morgan Twitter/X account is one of the most worthwhile of those dealing with certain problems head-on. Those with a Twitter/X account will find his material of interest should they follow it.
Morgan, however, must —and probably does— realize that many types of people suffered both before and during the Second World War (and in the mid/late 1940s, after it ended). In most cases, not at the hands of National Socialist Germany (contrary to that which “the usual suspects” tend to say).

“Keir Starmer has suffered a precipitous fall in his personal ratings since winning the election, according to a new poll for the Observer that comes before his first Labour conference as prime minister.
The latest Opinium poll reveals that Starmer’s approval rating has plunged below that of the Tory leader Rishi Sunak, suffering a huge 45-point drop since July. While 24% of voters approve of the job he is doing, 50% disapprove, giving him a net rating of -26%. Sunak’s net rating is one point better.
In a troubling assessment of the government’s opening months, only 27% think it has so far been a success, while 57% think it has not been successful. Even a third (32%) of those who voted for Labour at the last election believe the government has not been a success in its opening two months. Labour is seen as focusing too much on the government’s fiscal position when the public want them to focus on growing the economy.
James Crouch, head of policy and public affairs at Opinium said: “While the prime minister might have a world-beating new wardrobe, voters are refusing to wear his government’s austerity drive.“

Very true, but that should not be used as a reason or excuse to vandalize the English countryside with tracts of boring, poorly-designed and ugly housing, with inadequate infrastructure (a fortiori, if that housing is destined to be used as hutches for migrant-invaders).
Sadly, when said friends were featured in a national newspaper gossip piece about him (meaning, about Scruton hobnobbing with people having radical “neo-fascist” political connections), Scruton decided to cut them from his acquaintances for reasons of careerism.
Scruton was a very influential academic later in his career, and published over 50 books which were translated into many languages, especially in Eastern and Central Europe (I myself recall seeing an entire bookshop window of Scruton’s works in Czech in the Old Town of Prague in 1999). Scruton, though, was fatally flawed by his wish to make money.

Migrant-invaders. At best— useless parasites; at worst— criminals and/or terrorists.

707. In a single day. All will now be housed, fed, given money, given medical and dental services, given other services etc by the “government”, i.e. out of the pockets of the British people. About £200 per day each. Maybe more. So at least £140,000 per day, just for today’s consignment of riff-raff.
Meanwhile, Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and “elected” dictatorship is throwing billions at “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), at African and Asian wastes of space, at all sorts of nonsense, and is cheating all British people, especially pensioners but also, down the line, the middle-aged and young (deprived of a decent future).
The Chief of the SIS/MI6 said, just a few days ago, that “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) has “the will to fight“. Ha.

We are releasing 5,000 prisoners early this autumn while there are 10,400 foreign nationals in UK prisons. We should be deporting the latter to make room for the former and keep the British people safe.
In fact, a very high proportion of UK prisoners who are “British” nationals are also non-white, a fact which I noticed when I started at the Bar over 30 years ago. White British people are probably no more than half of the UK prison population, if that, despite comprising, still, maybe 80% of the UK population as a whole.

“UK police are recording too many hate crime incidents, getting involved in disputes that include “hurt feelings” and violating “common sense”, police watchdog warnshttps://t.co/823JvdgqHz
In my last decade or so, or “time of troubles”, I have had the unsought opportunity to assess at first-hand the abilities and attitudes of what now passes for a “police force” in England. Unimpressive. Semi-educated young (mostly young) men and women, their little heads full of “diversity” and “anti-racism” nonsense, purporting to lay down the law (which they plainly often do not even know or understand), and acting, pathetically, as a kind of poundshop Stasi.
As far as doing their proper job is concerned, the police in the UK are almost useless. On the two occasions over the past 15 years when I have been the victim of acquisitive crime (once when a whole wheel was stolen from my car, another time when a previous car was broken into and the door almost wrenched off), the police did nothing but record the incident and give me a number for my insurers, not even when (in relation to the wheel theft) I passed on, online, very cogent evidence as to the likely “type” and almost exact location of the likely perpetrators.
Useless. Not worth their salt.

Yvette Cooper (yet another Labour Friends of Israel member) is repeatedly dishonest. In the 2005-2010 Parliament, she and her husband, Ed Balls, were major expenses cheats and fraudsters.
Having said that, I sometimes muse as to whether treacherous evildoers such as Yvette Cooper have really thought through the consequences of what amounts to the treason of swamping the UK with ever-greater numbers of backward people from all over the world. I mean, as to what the socio-political situation here might be like in 5, 10, 20, 50 years. If they have, then their evil is even more culpable.

Dan Hodges seems to have forgotten (assuming that he ever knew) that, in the Soviet Union, in Stalin’s day and even afterward, ordinary criminals were often treated better than “politicals”.
In any case, the “police state” aspect in question is not Hodges’ “early release” red herring but the incarceration of people for minor disorder, or for tweeting comments etc.
The present UK situation is similar (don’t forget Starmer’s extreme pseudo-socialist ideological background): the real criminals are being released after having served only 40% —with other measures in place, as little as 20%— of their headline sentences, but —by any other name— political, or treated as political, prisoners are being swiftly incarcerated, and are being more harshly sentenced as well.
Incidentally, not only those convicted following the recent protests and/or “riots” (nb. I myself do not consider saying “boo!” to a police riot squad operative, pushing at his plastic shield, looting a sausage-roll shop, or even overturning the odd police car, a “riot” nor indeed a “political protest” as such).
A while ago, I read that a young man had served his entire headline sentence (6 years, I think), having been convicted on one of those trumped-up bs pseudo-“terrorism” charges the UK police and Clown Prosecution Service seem to love today (they often involve an accusation that the accused shared some or another “terrorist” material online, and at the same time owned completely lawful objects such as copies of Mein Kampf or a picture of Hitler; random pieces of circumstantial “evidence” put in to bamboozle a typical low-IQ rubber-stamp “British” jury).
More broadly, the lack of real knowledge of history is widespread now. As G.K. Chesterton said, he feared the uneducated less than he feared the badly-educated.
The “Chaser”, Jenny Ryan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Ryan], fluffed the question “which of these three was first to be named as Time magazine Man of the Year in 1923?“, the three being Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin.
I thought Mussolini (because of the October 1922 March on Rome, after which Mussolini became Prime Minister), and that turned out to be the correct answer. However, it occurred to me that there was at least a possibility that the correct answer would be Hitler (because of the Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923).
However, Jenny Ryan, “the Vixen”, thought that Stalin was the right answer, afterwards commenting that she had “thought that Stalin was a much bigger figure back then“, thus showing ignorance of the history of all three countries concerned (Stalin’s more or less supreme power in the Soviet Union only dated from about 1928, though it increased from 1924; in 1923, Lenin was still alive, and the leadership still somewhat collegial). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#1924%E2%80%931927:_Succeeding_Lenin.
“The Vixen” later made another mistake on the same show, in failing to choose Offa as the answer to a question on Anglo-Saxon history; she chose “Cnut” (Canute), but he was not even an Anglo-Saxon king (though admittedly a king during the Anglo-Saxon period). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offa_of_Mercia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut.
That’s the problem with such quiz shows, esp. The Chase. The “Chasers” and others have memorized lists, and (some) facts, but generally have no real in-depth background. I have noticed that with other Chasers, such as “The Beast”, Mark Labett.
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing“, especially in political journalism.
Au contraire. Starmer and his pack (Yvette Cooper etc) do care about free speech— about shutting it down, that is.
This government response to a letter from over 500 academics concerned about the repeal of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act is disappointingly partisan and ill-informed. https://t.co/ingyVTTbaWpic.twitter.com/9GqW8udVrO
In the end, though, the Starmer-Labour government, for all its “massive majority” triumphalism, only got the votes of 4 people out of every 20 (eligible), 4 out of every 12 people (that voted). Quite a number of even the voters that voted Labour only did so to make sure that the Conservative Party lost the election.
The real support for Labour is about 10% of the population. The real support for the attack on free speech etc is even smaller, only a few percent of the whole population.
Starmer and Labour have no legitimate mandate.

I agree.
The police and Clown Prosecution Service love the “performative” stuff such as “storming” a plane to arrest someone (rather than waiting until the passengers disembark and go through immigration in the normal way, then quietly detaining the suspect).

Keir Starmer’s failure to protect public safety while targeting social media critics is disgraceful, especially given his long tenure as a prosecutor. His problem is he’s a prosecutor trying to play PM with a lock-'em-up attitude, betraying public trust.
Who would have thought it? Still, no doubt (in the tiny little minds of Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and ludicrous “lord chancellor” Shabana Mahmood) that real criminals doing real crime is the better option, as compared to middle-aged housewives and others being released and then making socio-political remarks on Facebook or Twitter.

People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?
“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.
“George Jeffreys, 1st Baron JeffreysPC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”
The judge said: "Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you…
“This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a yearhttps://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/“
I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?
I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.
The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.
Surely appealable, at least on sentence.
Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.
Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.
Strongly favours migration-invasion, and mass immigration generally. Pretends to think that it actually benefits this country! An enemy of Britain’s future.

Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).
Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.
People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES
Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.
When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.
It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

Of course, that poor fellow quite wrongfully sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, will not see the (unfunny) joke, even though his 8 weeks will in the end be something like 3 (he will be out after 40% of the headline tariff).
In my opinion, the defendant should have pleaded not guilty. Unfortunately, he seems to have pleaded guilty (perhaps on advice of his solicitor) to get a notional sentence reduction from 12 to 8 weeks.
Starmer’s thoroughly wicked and unconstitutional suggestion (almost a demand, at least an expressed presumption) that anyone pleading not guilty to any charge arising —however peripherally— out of the recent protests) would be remanded in custody until trial (which these days might be months or even a year later) was a direct attack on the rule of law. Plainly intimidatory, and designed to make defendants cave and plead guilty.
The latest I heard, something like 700 arrests have been made. How many charges, I do not know.
Compare those sentences of imprisonment merely for giving out a few online opinions (though the Court, “Clown” Prosecution Service and politicized police all try to make the “offences” seem far worse) with those handed down for real crimes committed in the same area, such as this one:
“A thief told the manager of a Carlisle Co-op store who had caught him stealing alcohol that he would return and “stab him” if he called the police, magistrates heard.
The defence lawyer representing prolific offender Elijah Ali, 34, told the city’s Rickergate court that the defendant denied making the threat. He did, however, plead guilty to the theft and to using threatening behaviour.
Prosecutor George Shelley outlined the facts.
He said the defendant and a second unknown male walked into the Central Avenue branch of Co-op at around 9.30pm on August 5 and began brazenly stealing alcohol from the shelves, picking up “numerous” bottles of booze and putting them in Ali’s jacket.
This prompted the store’s manager to make a 999 call, reporting that a theft was in progress and requesting urgent help.
The second male left the store but as he left, said Mr Shelley, Ali told the store manager: “If you call the police, I’m going to come back and stab you. That placed [the manager] in a state of fear.”
Ali’s record comprises 98 previous offences, 25 of them thefts and kindred crimes. “He’s a prolific offender,” said Mr Shelley.
Magistrates imposed a £200 fine and told Ali to pay the Co-op compensation of £200 as well as £85 costs and a surcharge.“
So a few online comments about a news item results in immediate imprisonment, but for a “prolific thief” (called Ali) with 98 previous convictions, and who threatened to stab a shop manager, only a minor fine (probably paid off at £5 a week).

Bureaucrat-drone-dictator Starmer thinks that, by repressing free speech following the recent protests (and their riotous offshoots), he has somehow “solved” the problem that came across his desk. No. Every one of those recently sentenced, or sitting in some overcrowded jungle prison awaiting trial or sentence, now resents and hates Starmer and also the multikulti police state which he, Yvette Cooper, and Rachel Reeves, now head.
What does Starmer imagine will be happening in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with British people scarcely able to make a living, to pay exorbitant rents, to buy houses the cheapest of which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or to walk the streets of their own cities safely?
Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of migrant-invaders arrive illegally on our shores. Thousands more, every day, enter at least quasi-“legally”.
Britain is heading for a dystopian conflict never seen before.

Kiev-regime announcement
The Kiev regime has announced that it “is not interested” in hanging on to the little strip of land it recently invaded in the Kursk region of Russia.
Translation: the forces of the Kiev regime only made the incursion so that Zelensky and his cabal could claim to Western mass media that they are “winning”, or at least continuing to fight.
In reality, the Kiev-regime incursion forces, mostly press-ganged and poorly-trained serf-soldiers, have been mainly wiped out, and the rest are —literally— dying to be able to drive back over the border to Ukraine and relative safety.
The Kiev-regime incursion was never sustainable; the territory gained for a day or two, or a week or two, could never have been held.
I am worried, though, for the dim Ukrainian soldiers and their grieving, or soon-to-be-grieving families, and also for the Russian civilian families in the Kursk border region, their lives disrupted by this stupid publicity stunt.
At the same time, the Russian advance in the south-east continues steadily.

“Just walked through Huddersfield city centre. Really struck by the starkest of contrasts.
Some older women sat outside a Merrie England cafe (remember ‘em?), trying to enjoy a civilised afternoon tea.
They were surrounded by the stench of weed, people shouting in foreign languages, couples in tracksuits hurling abuse at each other, gangs of lads hanging around, beggars off their faces.
Nothing noteworthy about the scenario – just everyday stuff in yer standard Red Wall town. But I was impressed by the dignity and stoicism of the women. The rest of it almost reduced me to tears.”

📍Dundrum, Tipperary.
This tiny Irish village of 200 people was forcibly planted this morning. 280 ‘asylum seekers’ are to be housed in this hotel, replacing the local population overnight.
Why is pathetic Sinn Fein supporting the migration-invasion of Ireland, and certainly not properly opposing it?
I really want someone to do this. There are a number of projects that are going to need to be people-led as 80% of the media seem to have abdicated their duty. We need better statistics to understand patterns, authority failures; to diagnose etc. https://t.co/c9SmOc0T0N
I remember seeing this sorta thing a few years ago and it worrying me, due to my "Patsy from Ab Fab" ways. Somehow in July last year I gave up booze. Everything improved! You don't need a "rock bottom" or epiphany. You can just feel "blurgh". Tomorrow could even be the day 🙂 https://t.co/7VLtoJ9Qtn
Strange. I have read about the increase in alcohol consumption during the “lockdown” nonsense or 2020-2021. I went the other way, almost stopping my relatively-modest consumption.
There have been times in my life when I drank little or nothing, other times when my consumption was quite high. I suppose the latter was true of when I was living in the former Soviet Union, in the Caribbean, and in France, as well as when I was practising at the English Bar (during the years 1992-1996 and 2002-2008).
Now, most days, I drink no alcohol at all. No particular reason predominates. It may be partly a function of increasing age (I shall be 68 next month, ironically on the same day as the birthday of “two-tier Keir” Starmer, though he is six years younger than me).
Another reason is that the wines, especially the red wines, that I once liked, such as Chateau Margaux, are extremely expensive (I suppose they always were, but that I notice it more now), or are hard to source (some Moldavian and Georgian wines).
One kind of booze I do like is what the French term eaux de vie, such as 40%+ Kirsch and Poire Williams etc.
A Central and Eastern European taste too, that I must have picked up somewhere or other, is Slivovitz (plum spirit), which UK Lidl had on sale recently (I bought 2 bottles, 42% alc.), and what the Hungarians call palinka, fruit spirit, which may be distilled from one fruit, or a mixture. Apricot is probably my favourite, though I have not had any for well over 20 years.
On a hot day, though, beer is often the best drink (apart from water). I used to like (30-40 years ago), Zhiguli beer from Russia, which was at that time sold in the UK, in Selfridges. Czech beer is pretty good, of course, as is some Polish.
When I was living in Turkey for a few months, I liked Tekel beer, made by a State enterprise. It no longer exists, at least in that form.
One type of wine that I liked a lot in the 1980s, and early 1990s, was the kind of white wine produced in Australia at that time, especially heavily-oaked quality Chardonnay. Harder to find now, of the same type. Maybe tastes have changed, and the producers have followed suit..

The people cheering on the destruction of #FreeSpeech in the UK (because they think it gives them power over their peers) reminds me of the crowds cheering Mao's regime as it murdered citizens and erased history.
The most frightening revolutions happen to the sound of applause.
As I noted on the blog during the “Covid” hysteria, the self-describing “left”, including almost all of the “human rights” tribe, were all in favour of more severe “lockdowns”, more severe penalties, dissidents and people ignoring the “Covid” hysteria to have all civil rights taken away, deprived of all medical treatment, even when entirely unconnected to “the virus” etc.
Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost of of its former ideology and direction, and seems to exist purely to cheer on the right labels (“Covid”, “Ukraine”, “BLM”, “trans”-whatever) and of course “Labour”, despite Labour (also) having lost all or 99% of its former ethos. That, and to “deplatform” from everywhere possible any people who are labelled derogatively by them.

Professor Tettenborn is someone I met a couple of times in Exeter circa 2002-2003. He was at that time the professor at the law faculty of Exeter University. I was in a small set of barristers (now very much larger and, under another name, the largest in the South West outside Bristol; the former head of my old set is now a Circuit Judge).
I sat with Professor Tettenborn and another as a notional “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot competition held in the Guildhall at Exeter in mid-2002. My only day as a Lord Justice of Appeal, or indeed any sort of judge.
Incidentally, the winner of the moot (out of three student contenders) was a young Anglo-Armenian who had engaged in some sharp practice during the competition. We three “Lords Justices of Appeal” discussed disqualifying him, but in the end relented. As a student advocate, he was head and shoulders above the other two students, and we thought that that had to be recognized.
A few years later, as a young barrister, the same person got into trouble over allegations of sex harassment (not in my own Chambers but another set), I heard. Not sure whether that went to the Bar Standards Board (I think it did), but the person in question is still, I believe, at the Bar and still based in Exeter; I think that he was also, quite a few years ago, an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for MP at Exeter.
All a long time ago now.
Professor Tettenborn also made a very cogent case at the Law Commission inquiry as to whether the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, should be repealed. That was what was recommended, but the section has so far not been repealed, and is regularly misused either by the police/CPS or by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

So “conspiracy theories” such as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan will no doubt be examined (with an inbuilt and hostile a priori bias, though…). The brainwashing will probably fail if the children subjected to it open their eyes to what is happening all around them…

I saw part of Douglas Murray’s interview. Usually I have no time for him, or for any puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby, but I have to say that I agreed thoroughly with much and indeed most of what I heard.
I can only imagine that Murray said such unambiguous things deliberately in order to throw down the gauntlet to “two-tier Keir”, to provoke his own, Murray’s, arrest, charge, and prosecution, with the idea that a British jury will never convict him. A gamble, but a calculated one.
Of course, a “British jury” may now contain blacks and browns who may not agree with Murray’s views, and let us not pretend that such cases are somehow objective fora searching for truth— they are purely political, just like the joint trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett about 20 or so years ago (they were both acquitted, a smack in the mouth the “Clown” Prosecution Service was not expecting).
However, a British jury might well acquit Murray, if he does end up being charged and tried. That would raise his profile immeasurably. Then, in a few years, he might become a Reform UK candidate (as might Matt Goodwin) in circumstances in which the “elected” dictatorship of “two-tier Keir” and his clowns will undoubtedly be extremely unpopular with everyone outside the msm and the Westminster Bubble. In fact, Britain might really be on the brink of revolt by then.
If, on the other hand, Murray is not arrested/charged/prosecuted, then the poundland “tough guy” image “two-tier Keir” has been trying to project over the past 5-7 days crashes and burns. Indeed, if Murray escapes prosecution, many now charged will be able to plead not guilty in the hope that juries will acquit them for reasons as openly political as many of the prosecutions themselves.
Assuming that Murray’s statements were made quite carefully and deliberately, I think that it can be said that he has made a stunning political move.
The legal arguments at any trial would revolve at least partly around the (apparent) fact that the now-famous interview was filmed in the USA, though broadcast or sent to the UK, and aimed mainly at a UK audience.
During the Black Lives Matter rioting and protests, it was considered entirely legitimate to ask what lay behind black anger. But today, it's apparently illegitimate to ask what lies behind white anger. I think many people see the double standard.
I've done a lot of international media this week and I can tell you that when it comes to how the UK is managing free speech much of the world thinks we're going insane. "You're the home of Magna Carta", a journalist just said. "What the hell happened to you?"

What we are now seeing might be described as a struggle between Islamists who want to rule Britain (and mainland Europe), and Jew-Zionists who, partly and perhaps to a large extent, and more quietly [own and] rule Britain and much of the Western world generally.
What is wrong with our civilization can be said with one word — unreality. We are in no danger either from the vices or the virtues of vikings; we are in danger of forgetting all facts, good and bad, in a haze of high-minded phraseology.
My own prediction was, and remains, that Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” problem by setting up some kind of fake “processing” lines in France, and/or elsewhere, then rubberstamping perhaps 90% or even 95% of the applications. That ~90% will then enter the UK “legally” (along with the —ten to twenty times the number— existing “legal” entrants), while the others will still cross the Channel without authorization.
The 1.3M+ figure noted by Matt Goodwin is dwarfed by the c.15M who have arrived “legally” over the past 30 years; also, do not forget the question of births to non-European mothers in the UK. Another form of “migration invasion”.

It is easy to just laugh at nonsense of that sort, but behind all such manifestations is an urge to lead all of society into the abyss. “Anti-sexism”, “anti-racism” etc. Also, generally, the inferior valued above the superior in terms of cultural value. Historical civilizations and cultures, religions, other belief systems. Music too, and visual art.
Some “artists” have made tens of millions, even hundreds of millions from their “art” of that sort. In Britain we have had Damien Hirst (in my opinion, both a con-man and a fake, as well as mentally-unstable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst) and Tracey Emin (another fake and money-grubber): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin.
[“art”]
[“art”]
Incidentally, the above piece of “art” by Tracey Emin was auctioned by Christie’s in 2014 for £2.5M. Do we need any further evidence of the decadence of our society?
The existing System in the UK has lionized “artists” of that sort, not only by selling their “art” for millions, but by awarding them System or Establishment medals or titles: Tracey Emin is now a member of the Royal Academy, and its Professor of Drawing. She was also awarded a CBE and later DBE “for services to art“. You couldn’t make it up.
Having said that, I recall a woman whom I encountered occasionally in the 1980s, and who was awarded an MBE around 2006 or 2007, “for fostering relations with Russia“. From what I heard, mainly carnal ones…
Incidentally, the infamous Tracey Emin Bed “artwork” was bought by (((Charles Saatchi))) for £150,000, then later, eventually, sold, as noted, for £2.5M.
Art covers a wide field, and many forms, but the above examples show a degradation not only of art but also of a whole society.

Regular readers will know that I have blogged recently about the fact that Starmer-Labour has no real mandate. The electoral system of the UK has been broken beyond easy repair.
At GE 2024, out of every 20 people eligible to vote, and in very rough terms, 8 did not vote at all, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.
That is Starmer’s and Labour’s mandate— 4 out of 20. For pedants, arguably, 4 out of 12. Not much of a mandate either way.
Tell that to the academics who have been recently suspended or dismissed due to the content of a taught course or of writings in their field. I know of at least one case at the University of Cambridge and one at University College London.
