Well, this week a clear victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He claims 5.5/10, whereas I scored 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 10.

[Update, 25 May 2025:

Israel, “antisemitism”, and the continuing Israeli war crimes in Gaza

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/23/netanyahu-accused-of-slander-criticising-macron-carney-starmer

Benjamin Netanyahu was accused of slander and pursuing a war without end after he claimed the leaders of France, Canada and the UK were stoking antisemitism and siding with Hamas by demanding he end the two-month blockade of food and aid into Gaza.

In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.

I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others,” Netanyahu said.

I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”

[Guardian]

So now even Starmer-stein and Macron, both egregious puppets of the worldwide Jew-Zionist lobby and Israel, are called “antisemitic“! Carney, too, a former Goldman Sachs and central banker who is himself believed to be part-Jew (though his background is mainly Irish).

Is this the peak of such “gaslighting”? We in the UK have seen, for years now, the raucous Jew-Zionist lobby saying that almost anything not slavishly pro-Israel is “antisemitic”. The malicious and dishonest so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] has been in the forefront of it all, making false accusations about people to police and professional regulators, and spreading its poisonous propaganda on Sky News, GB News, the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV online outlet, and even the BBC.

Apart from that, imagine the lack of self-knowledge it takes for Netanyahu to accuse the admittedly unpleasant Hamas organization of being “mass murderers“, “baby killers” etc when the Hamas attack on Israel in late 2023 killed some thousand or so Jews and others (though many were in fact killed by the brutal Israeli forces themselves when the latter were killing Hamas operatives, and the Israeli victims seem to have “got in the way”) but when the Israeli retaliation in Gaza has killed anywhere between 150,000 and 200,000, mostly civilians rather than Hamas personnel.

In other words, in terms of numbers, the Israeli forces have killed between 150 and 200 Gazans for every one Israeli Jew killed during the 2023 incursion by Hamas personnel into southern Israel.

The Gazan population has been bombed, firebombed, attacked with white phosphorus, attacked with flamethrowers, shot at from the air and ground, rolled over by Israeli tanks, and killed also by an embargo on medical supplies and even food and water.

About half, more than half, of the victims of the Israeli forces in Gaza have been women and children, a huge proportion of the latter having been under the age of 12 (so not teenage fighters, of which Hamas seems to have few anyway); many of the victims have been babies, indeed. Netanyahu should look in the mirror, if he can bear it.

Incidentally, most of the original Israeli victims of the 2023 incursion were adults, and most were members of the Israeli armed forces, police, or other security orgs.

As previously blogged, if the Hamas operatives of 2023 were in part monstrous, indeed if the Palestinian Arabs generally are sometimes monstrous, then they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the actions and behaviour of Israel, and its supporters and facilitators elsewhere. Jews across the world raise money for Israel, including money specifically raised for the Israeli armed forces.

Are we coming to the point at which the “Western” world will (start to) throw off the shroud of (((control))) over Western economies, legal professions, politicians, newspapers, TV, radio etc, which (((control))) has become ever-heavier over the last 150 years, and particularly since the disastrous end of the Second World War in 1945?

Israel itself was founded on a foundation of mass murder and ethnic cleansing. The karma taken on by Israel and its population (and its supporters in the West) is very heavy, and gets heavier daily.

More Labour hypocrisy

“Labour blocks proposal for ‘swift bricks’ in all new homes

MPs had previously backed Conservative amendment to ask developers to provide hollow bricks for endangered birds

Providing every new home with at least one “swift brick” to help endangered cavity-nesting birds has been rejected by Labour at the committee stage of its increasingly controversial planning bill.

The amendment to the bill to ask every developer to provide a £35 hollow brick for swifts, house martins, sparrows and starlings, which was tabled by Labour MP Barry Gardiner, has been rejected by the Labour-dominated committee.

Despite the Labour party having supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023, housing minister, Matthew Pennycook, told the House of Commons committee: “We are not convinced that legislating to mandate the use of specific wildlife features is the right approach, whether that is done through building regulations or a freestanding legal requirement.

A new petition calling for swift bricks to be made mandatory for new homes has rapidly reached 80,000 signatures in recent days, two years after activist Hannah Bourne-Taylor won a parliamentary debate to help the rapidly declining migratory birds after 109,896 voters signed a government petition.

Bourne-Taylor said there appeared to be “no logic” to the government’s opposition to swift bricks when they precisely meet its ambition of creating win-wins for the economy and nature.

“They are going to be building millions of bricks into walls. I don’t understand why there’s such a problem with a brick with a hole in it. It seems ludicrous,” she said. “Why say your new legislation is a win-win for new homes and the environment and exclude the only measure that is a true win-win?

“They are tone-deaf. This is such a tiny thing they could do, but it’s brewing such a distrust and sense of betrayal among the people who voted for them.”

[Guardian]

Such an easy way in which to help those birds and the environment generally, and now fake Labour has ruined it.

The Labour Party is now fake, evil, and deserving of being stamped into the ground.

As for that Pennycook bastard, he seems to be a typical Labour MP of 2025, a “beggar on horseback”, i.e. a careerist from a very modest background, determined to climb the greasy pole, with neither ideas nor ideals, and completely unprincipled.

By reason of the repression of free speech in this country, I cannot say what I might hope will happen to most System MPs.

Ironic. The System politicians and msm recently lined up to mention the possibility that Britain might have been invaded in 1940, yet pretended not to notice a real invasion that is happening right under their noses, and literally under the noses of the spectators of that Dunkirk tribute show.

As to why Britain was never actually under real threat of invasion in 1940, there were numerous reasons. First of all, Hitler wanted to rule much of the world in alliance with the British Empire; he did not want war with Britain; Britain, i.e. Neville Chamberlain’s Cabinet, declared war on Germany in 1939 and, after mid-1940, his successor, Churchill, was unwilling to consider an armistice.

Hitler was weighing what became the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. He did not wan t a two-front war.

Hitler allowed most of the British Army soldiers in the Dunkirk area to escape (my own maternal grandfather one of them). Hitler refused to allow the Luftwaffe and tank columns to destroy that army, the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force or BEF. German ground forces were halted outside Dunkirk by Hitler’s own order (Fuhrerbefehl).

Secondly, the Germans never had enough barge and ship capacity to ferry an army of sufficient size across the Channel.

Thirdly, the Luftwaffe could not guarantee air superiority; neither could the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine much defend any forces ferried across.

Reverting to today’s real invasion, it continues, day after day, and nothing of importance is being done to stop, or even slow, the flow.

If only Britain had been in loose alliance with the Reich. We would have been, today, the rulers of much of the world, and that world would have been a better and happier place by reason of it. The usual evil (((influence))) prevented it from happening. Instead, we sit on our small and beleaguered island, invaded daily by trash from all over the world, we are individually poorer with every passing day and, with every passing day, our society falls apart, more and more.

I wonder how long it will be before there is little that is worthwhile left. At the age of 68, I may not see the ultimate depths of the degradation of Britain, thank God, and I am doing what little I presently can, in my present situation, to avoid the catastrophe, but see around me a society running around like a headless chicken, scarcely aware that it is already, in effect, dead, or at least mortally wounded.

I may, by Grace of God, be able to do more. We shall see. That is a matter of Fate. If the existing society cannot be saved, it may be that seeds can be planted in the rotting corruption, seeds which may germinate at a later time in history.

I noted Myerson’s recent and defamatory attack on Dr. Rachel Clarke on the blog, yesterday, and mused on whether she could or, rather, will take a civil action in defamation against him, as well as reporting Myerson to the Bar Standards Board. The same must be true of this doctor, assuming that she is a medical doctor, as it seems she must be. Myerson is plainly saying that she will not treat Jew patients professionally.

Perhaps the two lady doctors will co-operate in both suing Myerson and reporting him to the Bar Standards Board.

Anonymous Jew-Zionist stalker attacks James Wilson, the victorious defendant in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor.

Myerson and other notorious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel fanatics testified for the defendants, but the trial judge gave no weight to (i.e. plainly disbelieved) what they said on oath; Myerson included.

Thank God Myerson was at least sacked as a recorder (p/t judge) last year. The sacking was presented as if a “resignation”, of course. He had already been given an official warning about his online trolling.

Police who are doing this should have their names, ranks, and numbers recorded.

As one might expect from scribbler Allison Pearson, she has missed at least one point. It is actually irrelevant whether someone’s views are considered “racist” (an almost-meaningless term).

My views now, and when I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred by reason of a conspiracy by two connected packs of Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel” and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) in 2016 ( 8 years after I ceased to practise at the Bar), are little if at all different from when I was in ordinary Bar practice in England (1992-1996 and 2002-2008), I being overseas most of the intervening time and for several years thereafter.

When I was in Bar practice before the courts and tribunals of England (mostly the County Courts and the High Court, though at first also in the magistrates’ courts, various tribunals and —occasionally— the Crown Courts), I had lay clients (and instructing solicitors) who were from many parts of the world, most living in the UK. Many species of blacks and browns, inter alia. I always did my best for all of them. That is or was the ethos of the Bar.

It is also irrelevant whether or not Lucy Connolly is or is not labelled as “racist” by this idiot or that. The fact is that her sentence was harsh, and the circumstances of her original plea and the facts of her case amount, overall, to a miscarriage of justice, notwithstanding her (frankly, mistaken) original guilty plea.

Lucy Connolly is quite evidently being used, politically, by the Starmer-stein regime, as something akin to the dead crows etc that gamekeepers used to impale on spikes as some kind of supposed warning-off to others. Katie Hopkins has vlogged to the same effect, and I had already blogged to that same effect.

The same thing happened to Tony Martin, the farmer who was at first convicted, quite wrongly, of having murdered a “gypsy” (Irish tinker/”traveller”) after a group of those predators and scavengers attacked Martin’s isolated farmhouse: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer).

Even after his murder conviction was quashed, being replaced by a manslaughter conviction and a 5-year term (his 10-year sentence for shooting and wounding another nuisance in the same incident was also reduced, the 10 years being replaced by a —concurrent— 3-year term), Martin was refused early release, and served 3 years. The woke-idiot probation and parole swine were judging him for his views, at root.

Had I been Prime Minister, I should have made sure that Martin was never charged (and don’t think that that is not possible). Indeed, he should have been commended for his brave actions, and given money from public funds.

We know in our hearts what we have to do. We may have to steel ourselves, and take on karmic guilt, in order to do what has to be done, as Krishna counselled Arjuna, before the battle at Kurukshetra, and as recounted in the Bhagavad-gita.

[“I cannot remember the last time I saw six police officers together in Britain. But here they are, arresting two parents, in front of their children, for complaining about their local school in a Whatsapp group. Britain is completely and utterly lost. It used to be the home of individual liberty; now it’s morphing before our very eyes into an Orwellian nightmare. We need a political revolution to restore common sense. And we need it now.“]

The repression on free speech and freedom of expression has been spearheaded by the Jew-Zionist or pro-Israel tendency, mainly.

Look at a few of my own experiences as “they” have tried to repress my free speech over the past 15 years and particularly since 2014:

Incidentally, Matt Goodwin, who seems to support the Jew-Zionist lobby, has never said a word in support of my free speech rights. Neither has Goodwin said anything to support persecuted satirical singer Alison Chabloz, imprisoned for posting songs and cartoons online; Goodwin never said a word on her behalf. Same goes for Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a brief speech in Whitehall (calling for the deportation of Jews from the UK).

It is suspicious that the Sun comic gives Goodwin (and Farage) a mass platform; TV shows do, as well. Would I ever be given such platforms? No.

Goodwin’s latest: https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/britain-is-completely-lost-my-thoughts.

As you can see, not one mention by Goodwin on his blog of the Jew-Zionist lobby that is the main driver of censorship and repression of free speech in the UK; notably the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, whose so-called (self-titled) “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” was once exposed in open court, and by the CAA’s own bungling solicitor, as a vicious and perverse social media troll, targeting mainly women, and doing so pseudonymously.

That unpleasant nuisance still holds that (I presume, paid) role, and appears on joke TV stations such as GB News, Talk TV etc, as well as, occasionally, on Sky News. He even turned up to gloat at my free speech trial (which his own persistent backstairs manipulation of the stupid/ignorant police and CPS Wessex had procured), as well as at the later sentencing hearing. He quickly scuttled off, however, after my sentence (which he later described online as “absurdly lenient“) was pronounced. See my blog posts of 16 March 2024 and 17 March 2024 for more detail.

Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative was imprisoned for distributing stickers, the content of which even the prosecution at his trial conceded was lawful.

Support for Melia, Turner, Alison Chabloz —or me— from Goodwin, Toby Young, Katie Hopkins etc? Nil.

The long-term Jew-Zionist attempts to criminalize “holocaust” “denial” (examination of the ever-less-credible stories around the repression of Jews in the mainland Europe of the early 1940s) have become a general strategy to criminalize any and all criticism of Jewish behaviour, or Israeli war crimes etc.

Likewise, we have seen how the plodding UK police, while failing at their proper job most of the time, enthusiastically tried to reinvent themselves as a poundshop KGB or Stasi during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022. Those dissidents pointing out the absurdity of shutting down the economy and society because of a virus that was actually killing hardly anybody were hounded and, in some cases, even arrested. They were labelled “Covidiots” and/or “Covid deniers

Some fanatics even wanted those sceptical of “climate change” orthodoxy to be criminalized. They too are called “climate change deniers“…

Starmer-stein’s fake Labour-label regime seems to be going even further.

I agree with her about Jenrick though (albeit for other reasons). He is a horrible little pissant, completely in hock (probably literally) to the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby.

Re. that ex-officer and ex-MP:

“Party defection and expulsion

In 2004, Gordon-Banks switched party allegiance to the Liberal Democrats, joining the party’s Executive Committee in Moray, Scotland.[6][7]

Gordon-Banks was suspended from the Liberal Democrats in 2016 after an antisemitic Twitter tweet: “Farron’s leadership campaign was organised and funded by London Jews” and “I am glad I never had to represent a constituency with a significant Jewish community because [they] are all bloody hard work“. Marie van der Zyl, Vice President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said, “The comments by Matthew Gordon Banks on Twitter are of very deep concern. He talks about Jews and money and hints at the age-old canard of the ‘Jewish conspiracy’. He must urgently clarify and apologise for his comments, otherwise, we would expect the Liberal Democrat Party to invoke disciplinary procedures.[1][8]

[“This is how absolutely INSANE this case this. This is what the local Member of Parliament said today: “I have constituents getting in contact with me saying their house has been burgled and the police have not turned up, or they have watched shoplifters come in and take things off the shelf, and police will not come. Now it appears Hertfordshire police were able to send six officers for parents’ comments on a WhatsApp group and emails to the school”. And now, we also learn today that the local police who staged this arrest warned off DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED local councillors from getting involved in the case. Outrageous. What has happened to our country? As I say here, this is not simply a freak case, an unusual outlier. No, it is merely the latest symbol of our country’s major and growing free speech crisis. This is, at its core, about freedom. Whether you believe we are a free nation with free speech, free expression and the right to question authorities, or you don’t.“]

Toytown police state becoming a real police state…

[I am 43 years old. I cannot recall a time in my life when I have been as depressed about the state of Britain and England —a country I love—as I am today.

Here are 5 things that happened in the last week alone that point to the terrible future that awaits our once great country unless we urgently and radically change course.

1. In the political system, a group of MPs, many of whom preside over disadvantaged neighbourhoods here in Britain, decided to lobby instead for an airport in … Pakistan … to please their Muslim constituents, thereby continuing to usher in a dark and dangerous sectarianism into our politics that was further reflected this week in the election of “independent” local candidates campaigning not on issues central to Britain but … Palestine. We are heading, slowly but surely, toward a model of sectarian politics that looks more like Lebanon than Britain.

2. In the legal system, a remote, unelected, unaccountable and self-righteous ‘Sentencing Council’ refused a request from elected government ministers to change guidelines that will entrench a two-tier legal system, whereby people from racial, sexual and gender minorities will be treated more favourably than others when handing out prison sentences, thereby violating the principle that everybody in this country should be treated equally before the law

3. In the judicial system, police decided to arrest two parents whose only ‘offence’ was to complain about their local school in a WhatsApp group, with the Orwellian school and police authorities both prioritising the ‘emotional safety’ of a few fragile teachers over the need to uphold free speech and individual liberty in this country.

4. In the immigration system, meanwhile, we learned that 6,000 illegal migrants have now arrived on our shores on small boats in the first three months of this year, 40% up on last year, with crossings happening every day this past week, taking the total since 2018 to 157,000 illegal migrants who are costing struggling British taxpayers upwards of £7 BILLION a year. This isn’t only breaking our laws but is throwing full light on the total incompetence and inability of our politicians and the UK state to control our own borders, keep our own people safe, and maintain our status as a sovereign nation.

5. And in the economy, lastly, this week we learned that our hapless rulers in Westminster are now more interested in helping foreign nationals and illegal migrants than their own people, with a Spring Statement from the Chancellor confirming they are more focused on slashing welfare and support for British pensioners, workers, and farmers, who come from these islands and whose ancestors have contributed to these islands for centuries, than they are on slashing the BILLIONS these same British taxpayers are now being forced to spend subsidising foreigners, illegal migrants, foreign criminals, our broken asylum system, and foreign aid which is still being used to support the likes of eco-farms in Nepal, obese children in China, and LGBT campaigns overseas.

Sorry, but enough is enough. The people in power, the people who are presiding over these disastrous decisions, really need to start thinking about where all this is going, where all this is pushing us as a people and a nation.

Because it’s increasingly clear, to me at least, that the eventual destination will be a very dangerous, dark and divided place indeed. There is a total lack of strong leadership in this country. We need to change course, now. We need to start putting the British people first, now. And we need to start radically reforming the entire political, legal, judicial and economic system, now. Because unless we do then we are all heading into very serious trouble.“]

[Matt Goodwin]

Well, I am now 68, and I say the same, or similar.

Only social nationalism can save Britain and all Europe.

Exterminate evil, then build a state which can be a foundation for a better society and ethnostate and, developing over long periods of time, an eventual super-race.

News from the poundland KGB

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14247895/Barclays-customer-armed-police-bomb-joke.html

A pensioner was visited by armed police at his house after ‘jokingly’ asking a Barclays bank agent whether he needed to walk into a branch with ‘a bomb strapped to my shirt to get some attention’.

Eric Trim, 75, from Royston, Hertfordshire, was mystified after discovering that his £14,000 bank account was closed due to inactivity just weeks before Christmas.

The pensioner was forced to take out a loan to buy Christmas presents for his children and grandchildren before spending more than four hours on the phone to various different Barclays agents to resolve the issue.

After feeling as though he was getting ‘nowhere’ with each representative, he snapped in frustration and in a ‘tongue-in-cheek way’ said he will ‘walk into your bank in Cambridge’ and ‘tell them I’ve got a bomb strapped to my shirt to get your attention.’

Just two weeks later, two armed police officers arrived at his house to arrest him and suspended his firearms licence due to him being listed as a ‘threat’.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the 75-year-old slammed Barclays bank for showing ‘no care’ towards him and questioned whether Britain has become a ‘police state’ after the officers arrived at his door.

[Daily Mail]

That report just typifies so much about how Britain now operates.

Someone’s bank account closed down for no good reason.

The inability of a huge and profitable company (in this case, Barclay’s Bank) to deal with a simple enquiry and matter.

The afraid-of-their-own-shadows Barclay’s employees, who obviously ticked some kind of box as an excuse for their own incompetence and the bank’s inability to operate in a customer-friendly way.

Or maybe, the bank drones were the kind of idiots who, during the 2020-2022 “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, reported people for not wearing a facemask muzzle etc.

Finally, the equally-boxticking behaviour of the police plods, who obviously did not really believe that the bank customer was “a threat“, looking at how they took two weeks after complaint was made to go to his house and arrest him (and then justified their unnecessary arrest by ticking another box and suspending his shotgun licence; thus they can now close the case with “appropriate action” having been, supposedly, taken…).

The fact that the police arrived and rang the doorbell, when they supposedly viewed the poor chap as “a threat” who had a shotgun as well as, in the Barclays/police fantasy, a bomb, says it all.

Pathetic.

As to whether Britain has become a “police state”, yes it has, though (so far) mainly a pathetic velvet-glove one, and one which attacks mainly decent citizens, not the rabble who should be dealt with.

Seems to sum up everything about Britain in 2024: the environmental calamity, the nanny-state-ism, but also the historical ignorance. The lower Thames (in my meaning, the Thames below Reading, and especially below Kingston) was actually far dirtier in the past, in the 1950s, and back to the 1850s, perhaps even the 1750s.

Still, it is true that the rivers of England and Wales have been almost abandoned by this Government. Effluent and agricultural (farmers’) vandalistic fertilizer and other runoff going into the waters; and water itself being abstracted to service the needs of a UK population growing by 500,000-1,000,000 each year (by reason of mass migration and/or migration invasion).

From the newspapers

I do not agree with all of that article by ex-MP Emma Dent Coad in the rump Morning Star, above, but I do agree with some. Worth reading, though she fails to point out at least one possible reason why faux-radical Paul Mason got so angry when Labour’s Israel lobby was mentioned: Mason himself is partly Jewish, and also seems to be very pro-Israel, certainly opposing those he considers “antisemitic”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Early_life_and_education.

Looking ahead

It is all too easy to get distracted by the noise of the world, by short-term politics, by the daily news agenda, by personalities etc. We must try to look ahead, beyond the present year, the present decade; even beyond the present century and the present millennium.

I made such an attempt a few years ago, in 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

My thesis, though complex in total, is simple in essence: humanity needs to make a quantum leap in evolution. In order for that to happen, there has to be a suitable demographic, ethnic basis. For me, that has to be the European peoples as a whole, particularly the Northern Europeans.

However, the European people(s) are not the end result, or the highest possible stage, but merely a base, also a transitional stage to higher evolution of consciousness.

It is a matter of concern that births and birth-rates to Europeans (including Russians and some other Slavs, the peoples of the far future) are falling quite fast now.

The above factor may be a sign of an impending civilizational catastrophe, but may also be more than merely a “crisis”; it may also be an opportunity for the European peoples to seize the world-historic initiative in terms of demographics. In other words, to start creating the basis of a basis for a future super-race, to put it that way; an advance on —and by— present-day humanity.

As seen in that tweet, even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist pro-Israel Jews, find many of the members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) beyond the pale, so to speak. All the same, that ranting Jew politician was elected by Israeli voters. He is only expressing, in an extreme form, what is, at least arguably, the mainstream Israeli view in substance, though usually couched in a less extreme, less obviously violent way.

So far, the Israeli revenge attack on Gaza has killed 30,000-40,000 of the inhabitants, mostly women and children. The number grievously wounded must now be as many as 100,000.

Yet one sees Jews in the UK and elsewhere defend the Israeli actions (use of white phosphorus, use of famine as a weapon, flattening of huge areas of residential housing etc, use of drones and snipers killing families or lone unarmed civilians) as “defensive”, “justified“, “not genocide“, “not war crimes” etc. In effect, those (Jews and non-Jews) who support Israel, and who are tweeting support for Israel, are supporting those actions.

They are often the same ones whining and screaming that some child in London or wherever has chalked a swastika on a garage door or the side of a bus, and that that is a kind of “terrorism”, and that they feel “afraid” to go out of their houses. Pathetic.

As have many “Conservative” MPs. Britain’s immediate political problem in a nutshell— a special-interest group influences, and as good as controls, both main System parties.

Of course, I have no idea whether Paul Mason is or is not actually an agent of one or another secret government service, as many claim, but he has always struck me as being inherently unreliable, and not very trustworthy in any respect. That’s my honest opinion, anyway. Also, Mason is a little too enthusiastic about the idea of locking people up for their views…

Well, one of the comments on the blog (made allegedly by me) that “got me into trouble” over the past year or three referenced Jewish/Zionist/Israeli influence in the USA, and/or the mindset of many Americans who (influenced by TV, radio, and Press) blindly support the Israel lobby, so I had better not say too much here about “freedom” in the supposed “land of freedom”…

It’s strange…as recently as the 1970s, Britain had almost complete free speech on political, social, historical and other topics. What a contrast to today’s “iron fist in velvet glove” repression, abused by —mainly— the groups associated with the Jewish lobby and Israel; the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc.

I think that, eventually, the huge defensive works undertaken by the Kiev-regime forces will lie abandoned by their former defenders. Already, the regime is using press-gangs to “recruit” soldiers, and is slowly running out of arms, ammunition, and other supplies.

Even now, if I say or write something about how British society is steadily collapsing into chaotic dystopia, many will smugly smirk, “knowing better”. What will it take before those people start to listen, properly hear, then combine to do something about it all?

Because the leaderships of both System parties follow the Coudenhove-Kalergi agenda: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Idealism-Kalergi-destroy-European/dp/1913057097.

Our society is going either to collapse or to explode; maybe both. That situation, either way, will see the best chance ever for social nationalism in the UK, and the best chance in Europe generally since Germany awoke in 1933, then plunged into defeat in 1945.

Starmer will be an unpopular PM, indeed an unpopular, if “elected”, quasi-dictator. I could say more but regular readers will know that I am restricted at present.

True but, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, the electorate will not be voting for Labour, they will be voting against the Conservative Party which has ruined so much over the past 14 years.

Both System parties are enemies of the people.

“Doctor” Coffey…Ha ha! She’s a fake.

What is disturbing about Therese Coffey being a Cabinet minister is not the mere fact that she is an idiot —she is not alone— but precisely that the present system leads to people quite as ill-suited as her becoming Government ministers.

I blogged a few years ago about Therese Coffey (updated from time to time): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

Seems that the Jews of Israel want “Lebensraum“, and Gaza to be “Araberfrei“…. Who would have thought it?

I want to see a similar map of the UK, but about economic power and showing exactly “which groups” have it. Same about ownership, control, and influence over the “British” mass media.

As soon as the Israelis started the present round of their repeated slaughter of the population of Gaza, up popped Rachel Riley (and a few other Jews and Jewish organizations, such as the tiny but well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) to threaten, on Twitter/X, anyone opposing Israeli actions by reason of, or connected to, so-called “antisemitism”.

She strikes me as a very unpleasant woman.

Jewish-Zionist scribbler Nicole Lampert platforms more basically pro-Israeli propaganda in the pages of the Daily Mail.

Rachel Riley supposedly left “shaking with fear“?…I doubt it.

In case anyone wants to read the nonsense of Rachel Riley and Nicole Lampert, here is the full article/report/propaganda piece: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12669923/countdown-rachel-riley-antisemitism-jews-hamas-attack-israel.html.

Unlike Rachel Riley, I always support freedom of expression. #MoralHighGround.

But she said the positive support in contrast had been ‘heartening’ – including the 50,000 British people who signed their name to an ‘October Declaration’ speaking out against antisemitism and the need to call out Hamas as ‘terrorists’.”

[Daily Mail]

50,000“. So about 1 in 1,000 people in the UK (and elsewhere?)…or, to put it another way, only 1 out of every 5 or 6 Jews in the UK. Not very impressive.

Laurence Fox

Laurence Fox really should stop posing as a political leader. He is a political bad joke. He is, or thinks that he is, pro-free speech, and I approve of that (though, like Toby Young, Delingpole, and the whole “Free Speech Union” mob, his support is limited and biased), but he is basically a disconnected Conservative Party person who (understandably) wants less censorship, and fewer migrant-invaders coming to the UK.

Fox is currently parroting Israeli/Jewish lobby propaganda. He should stop pretending that “Reclaim Party” is anything other than a political joke (and far less amusing than the Monster Raving Loonies) and either return to acting, or join a real social-national party (when one exists).

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

Jew-Zionist flyposting

I notice that Jews are actually reporting pro-Palestinian people who have been removed pro-Israel posters in London (and maybe elsewhere) to the police. In fact, tearing down such posters is not a crime. Putting up such posters is a crime (all flyposting is a crime in London).

Typical, though…

In reality, the “aid” being given to “Ukraine” (to the Jew Zelensky’s Zionist and dictatorial regime in Kiev) is not aid to the Ukrainian people, and is given with the intent of pressuring and eventually collapsing Russia as an independent state.

The New World Order [NWO] cabals want Russia to return to a completely supine, powerless state, as it was in the 1990s under Yeltsin, a state in which Jewish and (other) foreign exploiters can profit hugely off the suffering of the Russian people. The same, mutatis mutandis, as happened in Germany in the 1920s.

Diary Blog, 31 May 2021

I happened to see this Wikipedia piece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avshalom_Feinberg. A Jew who was a spy for the British in then-Ottoman Palestine in the First World War.

In 1915 Feinberg traveled to Egypt and made contact with the British Department of Naval Intelligence. In 1917, he again went to Egypt, on foot. He was apparently killed on his way back by a group of Bedouins near the British front in Sinai, close to Rafah.[3] His fate was unknown until after the 1967 Six-Day War, when his remains were found under a palm tree that had grown from date seeds in his pocket.” [Wikipedia].

How about that?! “…his remains were found under a palm tree that had grown from date seeds in his pocket.

Well, now that the said Feinberg is apparently an Israeli hero-figure (they even have a stamp with his head on it), the suspicion must be that the bit about the palm tree and the date seeds is some kind of fairy tale. Still, it may well be true. These things happen.

I have not included the above in my blog to make any political or other point; it just struck me as interesting. Still, one could reflect on how one never knows how one’s actions may, long after one’s own death, bear unexpected fruit (in the case of Feinberg, literally, of course).

Israeli elections

Readers of my blog will know that I am usually cautious about commenting about the political situation in countries with which I am not directly familiar (even Scotland), but idly browsing Wikipedia while listening to BBC World Service, I heard about the electoral impasse in Israel. I looked up the state of play on Wikipedia:

It seems that there 120 elected members. What is extraordinary is that Israeli politics is so fragmented that the party presently ruling, Likud [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likud], has only 30 members out of that 120. Indeed, the whole minority government coalition headed by Likud only has 54 members.

The second-largest party in the Knesset, Yesh Atid [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesh_Atid] has only 17 Knesset members. The next-largest party has 9. In fact, there are no less than 23 parties and Independent members represented, grouped into 13 factions.

[Update, 31 August 2024: state of play as of date of update—

…Likud now has 32 seats].

Compare that to the much larger UK House of Commons, where there are 16 parties and Independents but where, out of 650 MPs, 562 belong to only two of those parties.

Why is the Israeli parliament so fragmented? It may be that there is something in the Jewish psychology that tends to dissension, dissidence etc. That was certainly true of the various Marxist factions that used to exist in the Western world, especially in the realms of Trotskyism.

There again, the Israeli proportional representation system has a low threshold for representation: 3.25% (it was 1% at one time). In fact, there has never been a one-party-majority government in Israel.

A further aspect is the sheer fragmentation of Israeli society, as can be seen in the details of the various parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knesset#Current_composition.

Another aspect yet is that most of those parties were started not long ago. The main Opposition party, Yesh Atid, was only formed in 2012. Several others were formed even more recently, in the past two or three years. Likud, the presently largest party, was founded in 1973.

Well, there it is. A peculiar country. Interesting though. I am interested generally in countries which are contrived or artificial, as Israel surely is. Singapore would be another example. They tend to be small geographically; Israel is almost exactly the size of Wales (or New Jersey), while Singapore is not even twice the size of the Isle of Wight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore.

Farm subsidies

Listening to some typical farm-owner whining on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. Farmers in the UK always want it both ways, to be treated as independent businessmen and women, but given State subsidy or support at the same time. For me, it just does not wash.

One farmer had the right sort of ideas about small-scale farming, biodiversity, organics etc, yet wanted public money, in effect for not being an environmental vandal. Why should the public subsidize farmers at all? Better to impose environmental and animal welfare regulations, restrict imports, and let the farms be real private “businesses”. Alternatively, to put them largely into State ownership but give environment-friendly farmers or collectives long-term (even lifetime) leases.

Soon, there will be the Batley and Spen by-election. I shall be blogging about it in a week or so. The Labour Party vote has suffered a gradual decline in that constituency since the rigged by-election in 2016. After the assassination of Jo Cox, the System parties conspired to get another Labour Party MP elected, so an ex-soap actress was parachuted in, and the Conservative and LibDem parties did not stand. Pathetically, “controlled opposition” UKIP also failed to put up a candidate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Now Labour is relying, in the Batley by-election, on a kind of “sympathy vote” by putting up the sister of that assassinated MP. Pretty desperate…

Gaza

In the UK and other Western societies, fanatical Zionist Jews exercise their censorship in different ways, such as trying to have anti-Zionists such as Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, David Icke, and me (among others) shut down, “deplatformed”, even arrested and prosecuted.

I myself have never had any interest in the Eurovision circus, but have also never understood why Israel, a leech state situated in the Middle East, the population of which state is not European, is in Eurovision anyway. Kick it out. Boycott it.

Note the very (((characteristic))) hand gesture made by it.

As a matter of fact, that poster is well out of date. According to an American expert interviewed on BBC Radio 4 PM yesterday, the Jewish state now gets USD $4BN annually from the American taxpayers. A leech state. What a surprise…

In that case, I hope that Murray will now, belatedly, say something in support of people such as Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, David Icke, me, and others, “deplatformed”, disbarred (in my case), even imprisoned (in the cases of Alison Chabloz and Jez Turner of the now-defunct London Forum).

So far, nothing (because Murray is pro-Jew and pro-Israel…were he not, he would not be where he is, of course…).

There is now, and has been for the past decade or more, a whole raft of “controlled opposition” figures and organizations in the UK, some witting agents of the System, others merely manipulated. Breitbart. UKIP. Brexit Party. Reform Party. EDL. The “Football Lads’ Alliance”. Farage (perhaps the most important and the most wittingly used). Katie Hopkins. Tommy Robinson. Toby Young. James Delingpole. The “Free Speech Union”.

The touchstone is always their attitude to Israel and Jewry. They always support, or pretend to support, Israel and/or the Jews.

The latest catspaw? Laurence Fox.

The sort of literate, thoughtful piece rarely seen on UK television today. I mean there are no blacks and browns to be seen, no references to the “panicdemic” either.

Betjeman was not the only one to make such TV programmes in the 1960s and 1970s, even sometimes 1980s. Ray Gosling, coming from a very different ideological direction, also made some interesting TV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Gosling#Broadcasting_career; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Betjeman.

Looks nice. I was probably a fool to have turned down the possibility of becoming an undergraduate there (by a back-door route) in 1984 (I wanted to stay in London for various reasons).

So is the USA. So is the UK. So is France.

Perhaps so, but if the idea was to prevent “subversives” from taking over the BBC or heavily infiltrating it, the policy was a signal failure in the wider sense. The BBC, at the head of the UK msm, has been the flagship for the socio-political collapse of Britain, and has supported every rotten cause of the past 50 years.

The most necessary thing in the UK is not even, as a first step, a political purge, but a purge of the mainstream media in general. Not just lying news media and “journalist” scribblers but, inter alia, the whole range of “celebrities”, comedians, show business types etc.

Henry Hendron

Readers of my blog may have seen, in previous blog posts, reference to Henry Hendron: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Hendron hit the headlines at first in 2016: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3580931/Celebrity-lawyer-bought-designer-chemsex-drugs-BBC-producer-killed-teenage-boyfriend-spared-jail.html

Some readers have assumed that I must have or had a personal dislike of Hendron. Not so. In fact, I had never even heard of him until I read about his Old Bailey trial, very lenient sentence, and his even more lenient treatment by the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal(s) before which he subsequently appeared.

My animus, if such it be (and incredulity), is a result of the incredible difference between the way in which I was treated (for having tweeted 5 tweets, completely true and accurate and [but] hostile to Jews or at least Jewish influence) and Hendron’s treatment for his egregious defaults, as chronicled. Read my blog post.

I also found it incredible, reading his tweets, that Hendron seemed incapable of thinking and writing logically, or of constructing a literate English sentence. However, the Bar is now a dustbin, so what more can I say? If the Bar thinks that it is OK to have, as practising barrister, someone of Hendron’s type, unable to write or argue coherently, and of (in several ways) dubious character, then that is a matter for the Bar dustbin-profession as it now is.

Now I see this: https://www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/high-court-overturns-barristers-suspension-due-to-lacuna. It turns out that Hendron had his lenient Bar sanction made even more lenient by reason of the fact that, being already suspended at the time of the proceedings, the Tribunal had no power to notionally suspend him further, or indeed apply ay sanctions to him, because he was not a “regulated person” at the time.

I had an exemplary record as a barrister, received several judicial commendations, was mentioned favourably in the main legal directories, and was never suspended from practice, but when the Jewish lobby (“UK Lawyers for Israel”, nominally) instigated my disbarment (complaint 2014, disbarment late 2016), I had not been in practice since 2008, and had not had a Bar “practice certificate” since that time. The disbarment was a completely politically-motivated msm farce orchestrated by a pack of Zionist Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel”, many of whom also belong to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” who have persecuted Alison Chabloz for years).

At the said proceedings (more specifically, in the considerable documentation that preceded the actual hearing), I made the point that I had not been “regulated” since 2008 (a point, I might add, that Hendron, in his own case, missed…the Counsel instructed by the Bar Standards Board —very honestly— raised it against his own interest).

I was (wrongfully) disbarred (on that basis and in any case), but (to give them credit at least for that) the Bar Standards Board actually wrote to me a year or two after my highly-publicized hearing (Google “Ian Millard barrister” and read what the msm said about me at the time). The BSB then gave me the chance to apply to have my disbarment overturned, on a basis akin to that of Hendron. I suppose that must have been somehow connected with the internal Bar fallout from Hendron’s matter.

In other words, I would still be a barrister today, had I applied. However, for me, there would have been little point, I having had no intention to resume Bar practice, though I suppose that it would have denied the Jew-Zionist pack and their “antifascist” “useful idiots” the opportunity to describe me on Twitter, frequently, and with unsurprising lack of originality, as “disgraced and disbarred barrister Ian Millard” or, as at least one mentally-disturbed Jewish woman often does, on Twitter, as “disbarred Barista“! Well, if I say so myself, I do make a rather good cup of coffee, though I have never done so as a paid occupation…

As far as the egregious Hendron is concerned, his travails continue, and he is at present again before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal. I believe that it presently stands adjourned.

I had thought that Hendron was being given very lenient treatment because either he was (I assumed) from a very privileged background, or that he “knew too much” about illicit activities of senior members of Bar and Bench. Well, I read somewhere that Hendron went to some comprehensive school, so that would only seem to leave the “knows too much” theory…

As with Professor Brian Cox, there are two sorts of “famous scientists”, the ones who make new discoveries and undertake research of importance, and those who are basically people making careers and money out of appearing on TV, radio, in print, and on official committees. Incidentally, if anyone knows of any great discoveries made by either Brian Cox or Alice Roberts (the latter of whom I had not heard until 5 minutes ago), please let me know and I shall publish a few lines about it. I should not wish to be unfair. I do not wait with bated breath, however.

Yes, but…Monsieur Rentoul, those other crises were not used as a method of bringing in a police state by stealth. The Great Reset and the Great Replacement (etc). The “panicdemic” is being so used, and not only in the UK.

Well, this week I got 6/10, thus again beating John Rentoul who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 6, 7, and 9 (and had to rack my brains to get question 10).

When I lived in Kazakhstan, in 1996-97 (a full year), I invited a friend at the Bar (let’s call him “Teddy”), a train buff par excellence, to visit me in Almaty (former Alma-Ata) by train. I found out what that would entail: a Eurostar journey from London to Paris or Brussels, then a train journey to Moscow, where he would have to change trains by going to another of Moscow’s several mainline stations. Then a 77-hour journey across the Russian countryside and then steppe to Almaty.

Like the character in, I think, one of Evelyn Waugh’s novels, Teddy thought that “abroad was bloody”, and told me that, because of his ideological opposition to the Channel Tunnel (I first heard of UKIP from him, maybe a year or two before a lady with whom I lunched told me about it), he would be unable to come. I think that the real reason was that he was nervous about negotiating his way across Moscow alone and with not a word of Russian; that, and the sheer discomfort of 77 hours on a post-Soviet express train. Thus Teddy missed out on seeing a then rather green and pleasant city full of pretty girls.

I quite like trains, though it does help, on a really long journey, if you are lucky enough to have the sort of accommodation used by the Tsars of all the Russias, or that of the Orient Express. When Andrei Sakharov was recruited to Stalin’s hydrogen bomb project, he travelled to the secret town where it was to be made aboard his own train car at the rear of a normal passenger train. The carriage contained a bedroom for Sakharov and his wife, a dining room, a kitchen operated by a cook, a lounge area, and accommodation for his several NKVD bodyguards (or should that just be “guards”?).

My own longest train journey was an involuntary one in the 1980s from Vienna to Ostend, and very uncomfortable it was. On the morning of the second day (departure having been in early evening), I got out at Cologne, wearing only a dressing gown, in order to buy pretzels on the platform. It was then that the train started to move. Had it not briefly stopped about 10 seconds later, giving me time to get aboard (non-central closing doors, thank God), I should have been stuck at Cologne Station with almost no money, no clothes, and no proper shoes; no passport either.

Update, 22 March 2022

Once again, I look at a fairly old blog post, only to find that many of the embedded tweets have been expunged by Twitter, leaving just blank space. The death of free speech is here, pretty much.

Diary Blog, 30 July 2020

When I first had a Twitter account, a decade ago, I began to tweet, inter alia, about the need for a wildlife grid in the UK. I meant a grid of strips or parcels of land, even if very narrow in places, that would link larger areas full of wildlife, such as woods, forests, national parks etc.

That idea is even more important today. I am heartened that, since I started to tweet and, later, blog about it, others have taken up the idea; some are well-connected, wealthy, famous. I think that, eventually, something can be done.

My concept was not nationalization of those strips of land, but a voluntary co-operation, co-ordinated for the sake of convenience and efficiency, but the ownership remaining, in most cases, in private hands, at least initially.

The area where I spent much of my childhood, the border of South Oxfordshire and Berkshire, near Reading, as now seen on Google Earth, exhibits the kind of changes that are all too common: high hedges replaced, usually by sterile fencing, some gardens in front of houses turned into gravelled or even concrete car parking. Sad. Why do people spend what is now the best part of a million pounds on a house in a leafy area, where suburb meets country, only to aesthetically trash their own house and gardens? Just to save a little inconvenience trimming the hedges? To save the cost of hiring a man to trim the hedges? It’s so tawdry…

A few blog posts around the subject:

A wildlife grid is probably the most important single measure that can and should be taken to help the survival of wildlife in the UK.

Tweets on other matters seen so far today

In 1976, as an occasional (19 years old) reader of the anarchist newspaper Black Flag, I saw an article by someone saying that the State wanted to track and trace everyone, “because the human insect must be controlled at all times“. It seemed far-fetched to me at the time, but it stuck in the mind. Now look! A technologically-updated version is today’s news on the BBC!

I suppose that that sort of thing happens more often than we suppose. Around the same time, I read in an American journal, the name of which escapes me, that before too long the U.S. Marines would be deployed to help Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean. They even had a parody version of the U.S. Marines Hymn, replacing “From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli” with “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tel Aviv.”

I thought that unlikely, but a few short years later both versions turned out to be correct, the first almost literally, though the “Tripoli” in the Hymn is the one in North Africa, not the one in Lebanon; the second, about Tel Aviv, only in effect:

Argos was started in 1972 by Richard Tompkins, the man who brought Green Shield stamps to Britain in 1958 (he copied the idea from stamps already in use in the USA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Tompkins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Shield_Stamps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argos_(retailer).

Green Shield stamps are of course unknown to anyone under about 35, having been withdrawn in 1991 and having been in the doldrums for years (their heyday was really the late 1960s and early 1970s). What I find interesting is something peripheral to them and Argos.

When Tompkins, then a fairly famous fellow in the UK, founded Argos in 1972, the conventional wisdom of the “experts”(newspaper business pundits etc) was that Tompkins was a bit of a maverick or even loony, not a serious businessman, and who had bitten off more than he could chew. Argos would probably fail fairly quickly. I recall those judgments from when I myself was at school.

Well, that was over 48 years ago. Argos was sold by its founder in 1979 to BAT; the last time it changed hands, a few years ago, the price tag was £1.4 billion…

There are always those who are ready to criticize those others who are willing to break new ground. Another similar time was in the 1980s, when Rupert Murdoch moved into satellite TV broadcasting. I recall someone then looking at the Daily Telegraph business pages and saying that “everyone” says that this would break Murdoch. Well, it nearly did, but he persevered, and now look! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Television_(1984%E2%80%931990) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_UK

Beware the “experts”, who often know a lot but, equally, are often wrong in the end. Like fire, a good servant but a bad master.

The tweet below made me laugh.

The latest nonsense from the “Government” of the toytown police state

“Lockdown” (shutdown) does not work. It —and the facemask nonsense— are attempts at social control, not disease control.

Trump

Seems that Trump wants to “delay” the Presidential election. Is that simply a wild tweet, or is this the beginning of the end for the American republic and its accustomed form of democracy? Too early to say.

The tweeter above forgot to add “baroness” Deech…

“GnasherJew”

Seems that the notorious “GnasherJew” account on Twitter has fallen victim to the occupational disease of self-described “anti-fascists” (especially the Jewish ones)— mental instability.

I have blogged about the phenomenon previously:

That account is or was run by a small cabal of Jews who take or took turns to post: https://www.thejc.com/news/features/twitter-warriors-labour-antisemitism-jeremy-corbyn-1.470568 https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/twitter-account-battling-labour-anti-semitism-defiant-after-twice-being-suspended/

Whatever the reasons, if they are going, good riddance.
