“Our wonderful police”

https://www.mylondon.news/news/north-london-news/voyeuristic-met-police-officer-climbed-30368482?int_source=nba

A Metropolitan Police officer who told his colleague ‘What are you good at, other than shagging people on the team?’ has been found not guilty of misconduct after a tribunal. PC Muhammed Miah was cleared of grabbing his colleague’s bottom during a night out in North London, however the panel heard evidence he climbed a toilet to spy on his colleagues getting off in the cubicle.

The complainant, known as Officer A, experienced pressure on her bum at a Ping Pong bar in January 2020, but the misconduct panel found she had not complained at the time and that witnesses evidence was unreliable because they had been drinking since 3:30pm at Joker Bar in Chapel Market in Angel. A complaint was only made on the woman’s behalf two years later, the panel heard.

A couple of points. Firstly, note that all three police “officers” involved are still in the police, incredibly. Secondly, note the appallingly-poor colloquial English (“bum“; “getting off“) used by the My London reporter, one Callum Cuddeford. In fact, I have noticed previously his poor English, and his habit of intruding personal bias (in other stories). He is not alone. “Journalists” scarcely exist now. What you get are 20-something scribblers and (on TV) talking heads, most of whom know nothing.

London. Zoo.

“Two Croydon men have been jailed for forcing their way into a woman’s home to sexually assault and rape her. Adhamon Mebrahtu, 23, of Norbury and Jamie Osman, 23, followed their victim home after meeting her on a tram.

On arrival, they barged their way into her building in Croydon. They proceeded to sexually assault and rape her in her own home. Mebrahtu also admitted to stealing the victim’s phone.

My 2019 assessment of Rory Stewart (with updates): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/03/will-rory-stewart-mp-be-prime-minister/.

Cool. People should learn about how virtually every slave sent to UK colonies or the US was SOLD TO WHITE PEOPLE BY BLACK SLAVERS. They should also learn about Britain’s role in ending the international slave trade, so the BLACK SLAVERS had to sell their slaves to Arabs. And of course, they should find out that more white people were sent as slaves to Africa than black people taken out of Africa. Finally, they should learn about modern slavery, where the slavers are almost exclusively black and brown people. Libyan slave trade below. But of course, Jovan doesn’t want any of that. He just wants to tell one side of the story.

Also, there were “indentured servants” in Virginia and elsewhere, white British people sent to the Americas as —in effect— slaves for a fixed period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servitude.

Another aspect the “Good Law Project” fails to note is the very considerable Jewish involvement in the trade in black African slaves.

Incidentally, that African shown in the first tweet was the failed Labour candidate for the Clacton constituency at the 2024 General Election, and was soundly beaten by Nigel Farage of Reform UK; he ended up with a mere 16.2% of the vote, and in a poor third place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I spent a month in 1998 (during several months I spent in Egypt) living in the oasis of Siwa, near the Libyan border. Until about 1945, slave caravans, bringing black slaves from Central Africa to Egypt, would pass through Siwa.

Looks as though that African is going the same way as Femi Oluwole (a total waste of space, prominent online but not of the slightest use to Britain or its people): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole.

As for the “Good Law Project”, it is the vehicle of half-Jew barrister Jolyon Maugham, arguably best-known for having brutally killed, at his country home (a windmill), and using a baseball bat, a fox. Another waste of space, in my opinion.

The “Good Law Project” has become notorious for failed and/or doomed legal actions. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham.

Incidentally, anyone who thinks that Maugham, a tax barrister (I do not know whether he is still in active practice) must, ipso facto (or otherwise), be some kind of great mind, should take a look at his efforts when on the team of Birkbeck (London University) playing “celebrity”/alumni Christmas University Challenge a few years ago: https://order-order.com/2022/01/11/jolyon-wins-university-challenge-after-getting-almost-every-question-wrong/. Maugham managed to combine self-importance, massive over-confidence, and ignorance, in a manner truly stellar.

Somewhere down the line, yes.

“Spending on ‘asylum seekers’ has increased by 36% to £5.38bn from £3.95bn. At the same time as they lavish billions on mainly single undocumented males, they took away the winter fuel payment from our most vulnerable. The Labour government’s own research showed that removing the fuel allowance will kill up to 4,000 pensioners – state sanctioned murder. £5.38bn would be more than enough to fund & operate a functioning & effective Remigration Unit.

FURIOUS residents said they felt ‘helpless’ after a 95-year-old woman was forced to wait on the pavement for more than five hours for an ambulance.

On Monday, November 25, Winifred Soanes was left on the cold pavement after falling and breaking her hip in Christchurch High Street.

Accompanied by her husband of 61 years, Andrew, 92, who ‘wouldn’t leave her side,’ several people stayed to help, with nearby businesses pulling together, offering essentials to keep Winifred as comfortable as possible in the ‘freezing’ weather.

David Lovell, who saw the fall, was the first to call for an ambulance, staying with Winifred and Andrew for the five and a half hours.

He said: “I can’t describe how cold it was, and as it got dark, the temperature dropped really quickly.

“She was lying on the cold pavement, and we couldn’t move her because she was in huge amounts of pain.”

Because of the way she fell, David and the others had to find a way to prop her head up, getting some shoe boxes from stall holders and a pillow from a pub.

Staff at Mountain Warehouse provided sleeping bags, and the charity shops gave blankets and hot water bottles.

Jennifer Baylis, who works at the Prama charity shop, helped throughout the day.

She said: “I can’t tell you how upsetting it was, she actually said, ‘I’m going to die here tonight’.”

Jennifer said a number of people attempted to call an ambulance and explained that she was a vulnerable elderly person. However, they were given no time frame and were told she was not a priority.

Winifred’s husband, Andrew, is diabetic and a veteran, but despite needing to care for his own health, he stayed by her side in the cold.

He said: “The situation was dire, but it’s great to know that when they need to, the community all pull together to help.

Andrew, who called his wife his ‘soul mate’, said she was taken to Poole Hospital for treatment and is waiting for specialist operation for her injuries.

People who witnessed Winifred’s distress criticised the ‘broken system’, many of whom have called for a reform of how the service is operated.

News from the migration invasion

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14140803/Asylum-seeker-sex-pest-targeted-two-women-train-terrifying-ordeal-sexually-assaulting-one-SPARED-jail-judge-told-no-friends-UK.html

A sex pest who sexually assaulted a 20-year-old female passenger during a train journey has been spared jail. 

Hamada Salah, 28, who is seeking asylum in the UK, targeted two lone women in separate incidents on a TransPennine Express journey from Leeds to Middlesbrough in February.

The victims were left feeling ‘objectified’ and ‘unnerved’ after the Egyptian national began showing them pornography, Newcastle Crown Court heard.

Salah targeted a woman aged 20, which he said was ‘the perfect age for sex’, and started touching her legs, before moving to another part of the train before rubbing his groin in front of a 67-year-old passenger. 

Judge Carolyn Scott said it must have been a ‘terrible ordeal for a woman of 20’ and added: ‘She was on public transport and had no opportunity to escape the situation.’ 

She sentenced Salah to a suspended jail term and also gave him a sexual harm prevention order which prohibits him from communicating with any unknown female on public transport unless it is a member of staff in relation to her duties.

He has also been banned from deliberately touching any unknown female on public transport under the same order.

Judge Scott sentenced Salah to 44 weeks, suspended for two years, with rehabilitation requirements and 200 hours unpaid work.

Salah was ordered to sign the sex offenders register and abide by the sexual harm prevention order for ten years.

The German Reich would have sent it to a concentration camp, or even executed it. The Soviet state under Stalin would have sent it to a labour camp. Is our society better for being weaker in its response, and posing as “tolerant”?

Ghislaine Maxwell has been left ‘starving’ this Thanksgiving after the jail where she is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking ‘ran out of money’.

Sources say convicted madam Maxwell, 62, and other inmates at FCI Tallahassee in Florida are ‘going hungry’ because of the lack of food.

One source said: ‘This has been going on since last week. The inmates have been told the Bureau of Prisons has run out of money and Ghislaine and the others have been left starving.”

Why should Putin agree to that, at a time when Russian forces are advancing on most if not all fronts? The Kiev-regime frontline is in peril of shambolic collapse. 2025 may bring overall victory in Eastern Ukraine.

Diary Blog, 8 March 2022, with latest thoughts involving Ukraine and nuclear war

Afternoon music

On this day a year ago

Mutually Assured Destruction…for Ukraine?

One sometimes sees the saying “military intelligence is a contradiction in terms“, or as Americans prefer, “oxymoron“. Probably unfair, in most cases. However, what to think when a recently-retired British general, General Sir Chris Deverell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Deverell], thinks that:

I have been against the imposition of a no fly zone by NATO in Ukraine, believing that it would surely escalate the conflict. But Putin seems hell bent on escalation,’ Deverall [sic] tweeted.

‘So the question is becoming: does NATO fight him now or fight him later? He will likely respond with nuclear threats. But there is no fundamental reason why these are more useful to Putin than they are to NATO. 

‘Our logic has to be that his threats are meaningless. Whatever he can do to us, we can do to him.’” [Daily Mail].

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10588295/Its-no-longer-Nato-fight-Putin-says-retired-UK-general.html.

Such logic might be borderline acceptable from the American point of view, but not from the British.

The old Soviet Union was about 92 times the size of the UK. Even the present Russian lands are 72 times the area of the UK. The USA (including Alaska, Hawaii etc) is 41 times the size of the UK. Russia and the USA are, famously, both enormous. However badly damaged they would be by nuclear attack, they would probably have some areas, even urban areas, that would survive nuclear war. Britain is different.

Were the UK to be hit by nuclear attack, it is quite likely that only remote parts of Northern Ireland and (perhaps) the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, as well as, possibly, West Wales and Cornwall, would survive more or less unscathed, depending on various factors.

Britain’s small size, and the multiplicity of targets offered, would mean that nuclear attack might mean the end of Britain as we now know it.

How irresponsible and indeed asinine it is for a British senior officer, albeit retired, even to think about war with Russia over a country, Ukraine, with which Britain has no alliance, few significant political or economic connections, almost no historical connection, and no legitimate strategic interest. A country, moreover, which has only existed, as an independent state, for 30 years. Madness.

There is another factor here. I am not at all sure that the General has quite factored-in the difference in mentality.

The Second World War involved, of course, enormous devastation, but that damage and harm was by no means spread equally. The United States suffered no direct war damage at all, unless you include the initial attack on Pearl Harbor. The same was true of other combatant states, such as Canada.

Britain, of course, did suffer from German bombing, and as many as 60,000 civilians were killed (mostly in the “Blitz“, which ran for about 8 months in 1940 and 1941). Germany’s losses, during 1941-45, were about ten times greater. The same was true of property damage.

While London was badly damaged by German bombing, the extent of it is usually exaggerated. Most of the bombing was in and around the dock areas of the Thames. Thus areas of East London and the City of London were very badly damaged, while most of West London, North London, South London went untouched.

Certain other UK cities were attacked, and some (Plymouth, Southampton, Exeter etc) also badly damaged.

Having said that, if you visit London today, most of it dates from before 1939, and much of that which postdates 1945 is a result of postwar redevelopment, not Luftwaffe bombing, or the strikes of V1 and V2 missiles and flying bombs.

An interesting book on the changes wrought in London since the 19thC is Lost London. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-London-1870-1945-Philip-Davies/dp/0955794986. That book, though, stops at 1945, so does not cover the huge vandalism since, one example being the demolition of the Euston Arch, demolished in 1962: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euston_Arch.

[Euston Arch, London, built 1838, demolished 1961-62; picture from 1890s]

German cities were, many of them, damaged to a far greater extent during 1941-45, some almost flattened. Berlin, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Dresden, and many many others. A few pictures tell the story.

Parts of Eastern Europe and Western Russia suffered as badly as Germany:

[Warsaw, early 1940s]
[a haunting image from Stalingrad in 1943]

Kharkov, now being battled for in 2022, was the location of no less than four battles in the early 1940s. Other Soviet towns were equally badly damaged.

Reverting to the question of Russian mentality, I am not at all convinced that, faced with the likelihood of NATO (basically US) nuclear retaliation, the Russians would back down.

I do not know how many moving parts there are between any decision of Putin to launch nuclear attack, and the actual launch of missiles. In “the old days”, the KGB kept the launch and arm codes separate from the military control of the actual weapons. Now? Maybe there is a similar system, maybe not.

One thing is for sure. Any nuclear exchange will change the world forever. The American military-destructive power may be several times greater than that of Russia, but Russia has more actual missiles, we read.

Let us say that the top 50 cities of the USA are hit by nuclear missiles (and Russia does have about 6,200, apparently), what then? Yes, Russian cities would be hit too, but could the USA function if those top 50 cities were wiped out? That’s every city from New York (most-populated) to Arlington, Texas (50th most-populated). What about the top 100 cities? That takes you down to Richmond, Virginia (100th most-populated).

Of course, military and infrastructure targets, outside urban areas, would be hit as well.

In Britain, pretty much the entire country would be rendered uninhabitable.

This has to be avoided. It is madness to contemplate a nuclear war involving hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of people, however sorry we may be that Ukrainian civilians are suffering.

I think that my view is a commonsense one and, au fond, at least as “compassionate” as that of the war hawks.

Already, we see idiots like Boris Johnson and other so-called “world leaders” taking steps that can only result in poverty and deprivation in the UK and elsewhere: economic sanctions. They will hit the West every bit as hard as the Russian masses (the plutocrats of Russia will not suffer as much as the poor, of course).

Russia is not going to step back in Ukraine unless faced with complete military defeat. The West, NATO, must step back from its present escalation, or World War Three might really happen, as unexpectedly (yet, paradoxically, expectedly) as previous wars— 1914 and 1939.

The past two years proved that the peoples of Western Europe, USA, Australasia, have become compliant sheep, most of them.

Mediocre old freeloader calls for a pseudo-democratic “elected” dictatorship.

Unimpressive. Mediocre.

NWO/ZOG drone Liz Truss, who built a political career by very dubious methods, and who has for years wanted to reduce the British people to the status of economic serfs, wants others, but not herself, to “make sacrifices” in order to attack Russia on behalf of Ukraine, a country with which the UK has and has had few if any historical, economic, or political ties, a country that has only been an independent state for 30 years, and which in that time has been a corrupt and shambolic mess, exploited and now ruled by Jewish cabals.
