“Gypsy and Roma traveller pupils are to be referred to as ‘mobile children’ under new government guidance.
New pupil absence advice issued by the Department for Education uses the term to refer to students ‘of no fixed abode’ who miss school while their parents are ‘travelling during the course of their trade or business’.
The law allows children to be away from the classroom while their parents are travelling for occupational reasons.“

The whole problem, not just the child aspects, of those “communities” is one not properly addressed by the present System parties in government.
He isn’t far wrong. It’s these kind of publicity stunts that end up making us Jews a more appealing target. My real concern though is that Lewis is clearly not well, but was roped in by his partner to make that misguided trek.
Mark Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal wanted to 1. make up a fake “antisemitic incident” for tribal political reasons, 2. have that publicized in the Daily Mail etc by dishonest Jewish scribbler Sabrina Miller (see earlier blogs), 3. make money out of it all via “compensation” payments (as they had done on previous occasions).
The Daily Mail should sack Sabrina Miller at once.

@Fox_Claire we don't live in a democracy! It's a lie we are given as an illusion of choice otherwise people would riot. The Blue , Green , or Red pill options all lead to the same path. Look at Brexit never happened. Thats why riots are happening, then the law starts to work!

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.
@Fox_Claire on @BBCNewsnight just pointed out that while there are dedicated squads of police trawling social media for people to prosecute, if you call the cops because someone has burgled your house or stolen your car they're always too busy.

A 53-year-old woman, the primary carer for her husband, who led a "kind and compassionate lifestyle". Sentenced to 15 months of prison time for a quickly deleted FB post. As she was convicted, she replied, “Thank you, your honour". Just awful. .https://t.co/7dTwlaI049
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.

That sort of thing is being driven by relatively small groups within each occupation, profession, and vocation.
I cannot say anything directly on the blog because we now have so little free speech in the UK (by reason, indeed, of those same “small groups”), so I shall just say “are you thinking what I am thinking?“…
A man has been jailed for posting 3 memes over 2 days showing real images of Asian gangs with the words "Coming to a town near you".
This is becoming like a scaled down and ridiculous copy of Stalin’s purges. As Marx noted, first time— tragedy, but second time— farce [Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon].
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).
Any comment, “Prime Minister”? That’s you, two-tier Keir.
I don’t understand this. Why does the Crown Prosecution Service “stand with” any community? It’s supposed to be an impartial body taking decisions based on the law of the land. Why does the CPS need “panels”? Who is on the panels? What influence do they exert? Worrying. https://t.co/1hx2LcA55w

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”.

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.

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..

Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost almost all 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”.
[Update, 13 August 2026: the young Anglo-Armenian mentioned in the 2024 blog post as having been a university student moot contestant in 2002, a barrister accused of sexual harassment some time later (looks as if the allegations never became official complaints, though), and a Conservative candidate (at GE 2017— he came a poor second), is now appointed a District Judge: https://www.judiciary.uk/appointments-and-retirements/district-judge-appointment-taghdissian/.
Incidentally, while that is one of the lowest rungs on the judicial ladder, it pays quite well— £144,350 as of April 2026.

A slow-motion coup has installed multi-cultural socialism in the West. Britain currently is experiencing its own equivalent of the Prague takeover of 1948. The show-trials of Douglas Murray and Elon Musk (if they can apprehend him) will no doubt soon follow. https://t.co/lcSDMs0PL6

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.

This is contrary to Israeli law and against the opinion of the Attorney General. The Israeli government’s ongoing coup d’etat is not a “judicial overhaul” but a destruction of the country’s rule of law. The Attorney General was verbally attacked during the meeting, and Ben Gvir called for her immediate dismissal.

Living conditions in 1940s Paris were certainly austere at times, at least for some, but life went on, e.g. under German military occupation:

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.
“Keir Starmer is looking into plans to process asylum seekers outside the UK as part of a rethink of the government’s immigration policies, even as a returns agreement with the EU appears more distant than ever.
The prime minister said on Thursday he was open to the idea of Britain processing claims offshore, after a day spent discussing illegal migration with fellow European leaders at Blenheim Palace. Those talks, as part of the European Political Community summit, included a meeting with Edi Rama, the Albanian prime minister, whose country processes asylum claims on behalf of Italy.
But he said a deal to return refused asylum seekers to the EU was low on his list of priorities, as the French president, Emmanuel Macron, warned his country was not willing to shoulder the additional burden.
“But look, I’m a practical person. I’m a pragmatist. And I’ve always said we’ll look at what works and where cases can be processed closer to origin, then that is something which of course ought to be looked at.”
[The Guardian]
As I have been predicting for many months on the blog, Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” migration invasion, meaning get it off the TV news agenda, by simply “processing” the applications of the invaders long before they reach the UK, whether that be in France, in Albania, in Italy, or even in Africa.
“Processing” will mean, in this context, rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications. Probably more, looking at how about 80% of the applications of the present wave of invaders are eventually approved once they land in the UK (and the rest not deported anyway).
What about those, the small minority no doubt, who apply for asylum in those extra-territorial processing centres or offices but are refused? Is Starmer pretending that they will be content to stay in, or return to, their native countries? Of course they will not. They will simply make their way to the English Channel and then try to cross it.

Mirabile dictu! Former-MP and Israel-puppet Largan has said something with which I can agree.
I have noted in the past on the blog the inadequacy of so many post-1945 public buildings in the UK, for example the court buildings in both London and the provinces. Some are OK, or even impressive, but more are not. Compare them to most of the American court buildings, such as the Federal court building in Trenton, New Jersey, where I was, several times, over 30 years ago:
So ugly, one is prompted to speculate, “Britischer Architekt?” Still, quite large and impressive at least.
I see that that 1980s building is named after a former Governor of the state, who was also at one time Chief Justice of New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Hughes_Justice_Complex#Dedication. I was very slightly acquainted with one of his sons, who himself became a Federal magistrate in 1991, a year or two after I was introduced to him; I met him again, en passant, a few times, in the years 1989-1991: https://www.pli.edu/faculty/hon.-john-j.-hughes-i1305491. He was all right, but not the most social person in the world, to be frank. Not sure that I would have liked to have been a defendant in his court…

Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.
Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?
Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.

According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

Henry Hendron, 42, sent messages asking for help with drugs supply, after meeting the men through his work as a criminal lawyer.
Delivering the ruling, Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson, sitting with Lord Justice William Davis and Mr Justice Calver, said Hendron’s case is “unique” and added: “It is to be hoped that remains the case.”
Dismissing the appeal, the judges concluded: “The sentence here is not excessive, still less manifestly excessive in all the circumstances.”
Hendron had built up a profile as a barrister to the stars, with prominent clients including the Earl of Cardigan and Tory MP Nadine Dorries.
But Hendron’s career floundered after his 18-year-old boyfriend Miguel Jimenez was found dead at the flat the couple shared in Pump Court, Temple, in the City of London, after taking a lethal cocktail of so-called chemsex party drugs.
He admitted buying £1,000 worth of M-cat or Meow Meow and GBL from award-winning former BBC producer Alex Parkin and was handed a community order with 140 hours of unpaid work at the Old Bailey in 2016.
The Court of Appeal noted that Hendron had not been disbarred after that conviction, noting “unusual and very serious” feature of his case.
He was suspended by the Bar Standards Board for three years following his 2016 convictions.
He was reprimanded and prohibited from undertaking public access work for two years following a disciplinary hearing in 2021 after holding himself out as a barrister on websites while suspended.“
In that blog post, I speculated as to whether Hendron knew something discreditable about senior figures or, perhaps, was being treated leniently by reason of some other kind. I am still none the wiser on that, however.
It seems, on the face of that Evening Standard report, though, that Hendron is still not disbarred. Curiouser and curiouser.
Elon Musk has enormous amounts of money, but when it comes to society and politics, he simply howls into the void like many another on Twitter.
In order to have real impact, an “uber-wealthy” person of that sort has to engage directly, either by funding people and projects (Bill Gates), or by himself becoming a kind of political figure (Donald Trump).

“My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before: We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries. Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash. Literally, we threw them away. Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people. That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It’s OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as “winged rats;” casting them as pests. But they don’t know how to live without us, and their instincts tell us that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it’s the only survival skill left in their genes. They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them.”
Good points. Urban pigeons can be a nuisance, true, but they also clear up rubbish people throw away or drop in the streets, like crisps and chips. In the end, they are God’s creatures.

“BRIT billionaire businessman Joe Lewis has been sentenced for insider training. Here is the rise and fall of the ex-Spurs chief:
After quitting school at the age of 15, entrepreneurial Lewis went to work for his dad’s catering company.
Lewis began managing a super-club called The Talk of the Town – where the likes of Frank Sinatra performed – in the 1960s, and granted girl group The Nolans their first live show.
He then got a taste for business and took over the firm – turning it into a string of restaurants before flogging it in 1979 for a whopping £30million.
Lewis used his cash influx to invest in currency trading and was subbed The Boxer in a nod to his wild success and power in the investment ring.
Lewis forked out £22million in 2001 to buy a controlling stake in Tottenham Hotspur from Lord Sugar.
One particular investment on Black Wednesday in September 1992 helped elevate him to uber-rich status, as he successfully bet on the Pound crashing out of the European Exchange Rate as Britain tried to align it with other Euro countries.
He became a billionaire overnight…”

The arrest came after an as-yet-unnamed twisted prankster was filmed seemingly clobbering innocent victims on the London Underground as well as in a supermarket, and on the steps outside the Westfield Stratford shopping centre.

A ‘brilliant’ professor died aged just 43 after doctors botched treatment for a rare condition on which he was a national expert, his GP widow told an inquest today.
His wife, Dr Shivani Tanna, said it was ‘terrifying’ for him to realise that doctors there didn’t ‘understand’ HLH, for which he sat on a national panel.
As a result, despite being seriously unwell and feeling ‘foggy in the brain’, he had to help advise doctors on how to treat him.
But even though he was a haematologist himself, he faced a struggle to persuade nurses to show him his blood test results, she said.
‘He kept himself alive on the wards because he was a doctor,’ Dr Tanna told Manchester Coroner’s Court.
If he had just been ‘Joe Bloggs’, he would have been dead within three days of being admitted, ‘just by sheer negligence’, she claimed.“

Sir Alex Younger said Britons have been ‘infantilised’ since the end of the Cold War and the Government should consider having the power to ‘compel’ people to serve.”
[Daily Mail]
In fact, Younger is just part of the problem, and offers no solutions. [What might be called] “an educated cretin” who, after an expensive education, did 2-3 years as a Guards officer before joining the “niche career opportunity for the English middle classes”— SIS/MI6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Younger
Younger seems entirely unaware that, even now, the UK seems (not to me, but to most of the British people, meaning real British people) not worth defending. What does Younger think the UK will be like by, say, 2034? 2044?
By 2050, half of those inhabiting these islands will not even be British in any real sense. Does Younger imagine that they will agree to be conscripted? Incidentally, it is no answer to say that the agreement of the conscripted is unnecessary; enlistment of the unwilling usually produces poor results.
Younger seems to be part of that UK pseudo-elite at the top of UK affairs which is so featherbedded and isolated from reality—reality as most people experience it in this country— that the same (self-regarding) “elite” constantly get it wrong in every way.

“NATO is losing experienced soldiers due to the low attractiveness of military service Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict, NATO troops are faced with a personnel shortage.
This is not so much about recruiting new recruits, but about retaining soldiers and officers who are already in service, writes Politico. European countries that rely on professional militaries are trying to make their armed forces more attractive. But this is difficult to achieve in times of low unemployment, fierce competition from the private sector and widespread use of remote work, the publication explains.
A recent report presented in the German parliament showed that 1,537 soldiers left the Bundeswehr in 2023. In addition to increasing layoffs, the German army has to deal with dilapidated infrastructure, the repair of which could cost about €50 billion, Politico notes.
French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu admitted that the difficulty of “retaining” personnel exists in many allied countries. Paris and some other NATO members hope to stimulate the military with higher salaries and social guarantees, the article notes. Money does play a significant role in keeping people in the military. But the problem is that the conditions of service in NATO armies are not that attractive. After all, chronic overtime, the inability to get home for many months and a lack of days off are commonplace there, Politico emphasizes.“
If NATO were to stop interfering in Ukraine, the Middle East, and elsewhere, that shortage of personnel would not even be a problem. Meanwhile, almost all NATO states are suffering from non-European migration-invasion, and no amount of new or old soldiers will stop that, because the NWO-ZOG political leadership is encouraging mass immigration into the European space.

“Police officers in Scotland are being given training to target social media posts, including re-tweets, of material deemed “threatening and abusive.”
Under the county’s new hate crime law, actors and comedians are not given a free pass to make jokes about sensitive subjects that offend people, either. The new training provided to officers, which was leaked to The Herald, requires police officers to go after anyone who produces material deemed “threatening and abusive,” which can also be communicated through “public performance of a play.”
Under the new hate crime law, people who make fun of or misgender trans people, make racial jokes or criticisms of certain religions, or criticize migrants can be prosecuted.
“The different ways in which a person may communicate material to another person are by: displaying, publishing or distributing the material, for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc., either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”
The hate crime law goes on to state that “giving, sending, showing, or playing the material to another person” listing examples such as “through online streaming, by email, playing a video, through public performance of a play.” So repeat a joke you heard online, or show someone a spicy meme or commentary of a transgender person or mass migration on your livestream, and, and you too will be arrested.

“HMRC has sparked fury by announcing it will permanently close tax helplines for six months and let 100 customer service staff work a three-day week over the summer.
Taxpayers will not be able to call the tax office for help with their returns from April 8 until September 30, HM Revenue and Custom has today announced.
The move comes just weeks after the Commons Public Accounts Committee of MPs condemned HMRC’s customer service for hitting an ‘all-time low’.
New figures showed how almost 1million calls went unanswered in January – typically the busiest month of the year for the service, with taxpayers rushing to file for self-assessment tax returns without triggering fines for lateness.”
Jesus H. Christ…does anything work properly in this country any more?!
Having said that, when I had (historical) tax problems and had to engage with the Revenue, well over a decade ago, especially in 2010-2011, I was quite frankly amazed to see how utterly shambolic the HMRC “service” actually was. It’s an overused term, but it was “Kafka-esque” to a degree I would not have believed had I not experienced it myself.
So now it is actually worse? Hard to believe. The one comfort I have from that very stressful period many years ago is that, soon after I got off the hook, and during the Cameron-Levita/Osborne “austerity” programme, most if not all of the HMRC staff that had harassed and annoyed me, and created problems for me, lost their jobs. Suck on that…
Still, all’s well that ends well…my income is now so low that the shambles of administration in that “service” need not concern me. My problems with “the taxman” were settled to my satisfaction in 2012.

“Eight men have been sentenced over their involvement in violent disorder after trouble flared at a hotel housing asylum seekers. The court had heard there was “ill feeling” in the area following a video on social media which appeared to show an asylum seeker asking a 15-year-old girl for her phone number and for a kiss. Violence broke out outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, Merseyside, last year which was providing temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
Brian McPadden, 61, of Kirkby, was jailed for three years and six months at Liverpool Crown Court.
There were gasps from the public gallery as he was jailed. Thomas Mills, 47, who brought a banner to the protest urging people to shout to get the asylum seekers out, was sentenced to two years and eight months.
Paul Lafferty, 42, was handed the same sentence while Jonjo O’Donoghue, 21, of Liverpool, was sentenced to three years and six months in a young offenders institution. Former British Army soldier Liam Jones was sentenced to 27 months while John Tippler, 59, was jailed for two years.
Warren Cullen, who was on a community order at the time of the protest, was jailed for 20 months. The judge gave Harry Boynton a 16-month suspended sentence along with 200 hours of unpaid work.“

“And storms are roaring in their race
From sea to land, and land to sea,
Their raging forms a fierce embrace,
All round, of deepest energy.
The lightning’s devastations blaze
Along the thunder’s crashing way;
Yet, Lord, your messengers keep praising
The gentle movement of your day.”
[Goethe, Faust, The Prologue in Heaven]
There is a gradually building momentum across the world: Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, and even in Europe; something big building, as when a huge wave starts to swell offshore. It has not yet crashed onto that shore, but it will crash, with huge inevitability, and huge consequences.
