I agree with that, but only so far as it goes.

Goodwin talks much about the Muslim population, but Muslims do not generally own newspapers, radio stations, newspapers, or major businesses and finance houses in the UK.

The Muslim problem in the UK is largely one of numbers, and is real enough, but far from the whole national problem of the UK.

What would happen if —and as may happen— Nigel Farage and Reform UK do achieve a breakthrough, and Farage really does become Prime Minister (perhaps in 2028 or 2029)?

In that situation, the question devolves to “what then?“.

The country will still be full of migrant-invaders, even if migration-invasion were to be halted overnight. The country will still only be about 80%, perhaps by then only 70%, European (i.e. “white”). The Jewish/Zionist lobby will still be in positions of power in finance, business, mainstream media, the legal system, and politics. The country will still be in a situation of societal and cultural degeneracy. The country will still be in a continuing and serious economic decline.

Social-nationalism is the only alternative to the dystopian collapse of society which can already be seen, in outline, in the UK.

Reform UK is a way out of the immediate dead-on-its-feet present political mess made by the System parties, and may presage a shifting of the Overton Window among the public as well, but is only part of the journey, not the destination.

As I predicted on the blog even before he became Prime Minister, Starmer is incapable of doing the job even to a mediocre extent. Hopeless, as well as being a 100% puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.

Starmer is now saying that local elections due in 2025 may “have to be” “delayed”. Banana republic tactics.

Starmer, and/or (((the lobby))) behind Starmer, intends to enfranchise 16-y-o voters. A desperate and ill-advised ploy. Those young people will not necessarily vote Labour. Under Corbyn, they might have, but that was years ago. Among the young, the young (real) English, the “Overton Window” may be moving faster than among the older population. As for Starmer himself, he has no mental flexibility (as I predicted). For a former senior barrister, he is or seems very slow on his feet. A box-ticker.

Starmer may think that those aged 16 or 17 will vote Labour. As Labour now is, I doubt it. What future have the young in contemporary Britain? Not much. That may translate into radical protest, albeit possibly of a lazy “slacktivist” kind. Reform UK is pretty much the only game in town, unless you count the Greens.

Vulgarly-put, but correct in substance.

Good point, if obvious. The voters have clutched at the “Boris”-idiot pseudo-Conservative straw, the “Labour” straw, so why not the Reform UK straw?

The public, in a sense, are to blame. They are more interested, even now, in rubbish such as football matches, The X Factor, Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Strictly Come Dancing, and similar garbage, than in the fact that a million non-whites are invading this country every year, or in the housing crisis (connected to the invasion, of course), or in the slide in educational and cultural —and behavioural— standards.

There again, those —often (((those)))— who control or influence the mainstream media are the real villains of the piece.

Hypocrisy unlimited. The Leeds-based Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson is a prominent member or supporter of the two main Jew-Zionist Israel-lobby groups that have persecuted me over a decade or more, namely the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, and “UK Lawyers for Israel” (“UKLFI”), the memberships of which overlap to some extent. Both have complained about me, maliciously, either to the Bar Standards Board or to the police, or both, as well as to Twitter/X and others. See below:

As for Myerson himself, he was sacked as a Recorder (part-time judge) in the Spring of 2024 after having failed to temper his outbursts on social media.

[“Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit“]

Incidentally, Myerson himself was threatened (by others) with complaints to the Bar regulators, some years ago, and immediately activated the “usual” “victim” mode, whining about people wanting to deprive him of his living just because of his tweets (which, he whined, were part of his private, not professional, life)! Self-awareness— zero.

“They” never learn…

There is no peaceful or “constitutional” way of removing Starmer and his cabal of Labour Friends of Israel evildoers before a general election is called, and that might not be until 2029.

The AfD is not the destination, but merely the way, or one way, towards it, just like Reform UK.

So far…

Without the monies effectively gifted to them by the West over the past 80 years, the Saudis and other Gulf Arabs would have nothing. Backwardness dignified by unearned riches.

If true, that would put the cat among the pigeons!

Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson getting the law wrong (again)…

On a wider point, that whole traditional rank of “King’s Counsel” or KC should be done away with. Outdated, and now all but meaningless. As an ordinary barrister from 1991 (in practice from 1993) to 1996, and then from 2002-2008, I encountered QCs (as they then were) in court a number of times, and did OK against them quite a lot of the time, if I say so myself. Sometimes they won, sometimes I won.

I believe that about 1 in 6 of practising barristers are now “KC”. In the past, particularly before the Second World War, the proportion was far smaller, partly because those in a position to recommend and/or make the decision were more selective; partly, also, because there were fewer applications, and that was partly because a “KC” then usually had to “lead” a junior (non-KC) barrister, and so cost the lay client 2x, sometimes 3x or more, in fees. Some took silk only to find that they became far less busy. These days, not only does a KC often appear alone, but in some cases even unattended by a solicitor.

I believe that I recall from the memoirs of Lord Denning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Denning,_Baron_Denning] that when he “took silk” (became a KC), in 1938, there were only 4 such “letters patent” granted that year, including his own. In 2024, no less than 100 persons became “KC” (5 honorary only, 95 ordinary).

Of course, in recent decades, arguably starting in the early 1990s, the pernicious influence of “political correctness” (now often termed “woke-ness”) has had its effect; it has never been admitted that the Bar now has some King’s Counsel appointed at least partly by reason of their “ethnic” background, but that such is the case is the opinion of not a few (including me).

Well, there it is.

As to Lord Denning, in his day, he was the most popular judge among the public; arguably the only popular judge, as well as the one with the most name-recognition. Opinion among barristers was less unmixed, though few if any would dispute his very great ability.

I saw Lord Denning up close only once or twice, notably when hurrying to the Library at Lincoln’s Inn in the early 1990s. My chambers were in the Inn at the time, and I was also a member of the Inn then (I was much later —2017— expelled, as an automatic consequence of my politically-procured disbarment of 2016).

I pushed open the very heavy oakwood Library door and missed, by only an inch or two, knocking over Lord Denning, who must have been about 94 (b.1899). I recall that he did not flinch, and smiled benignly as I held open the door for him.

[Lincoln’s Inn Library]

Incidentally, just now looking at Wikipedia’s article on Denning, I see that, by 1936 (2 years before he took silk), his income was some £3,000 a year (arguably worth about £200,000 in the money of today, and income tax was far lower in 1936). Impressive, but the leading silk of the day, Birkett, at about that time had an income of £25,000 (between £1.5M and £2M today).

By comparison, in that era, domestic staff in a large country house might receive between £100 a year (kitchen maid) to £250-£500 a year (chief gamekeeper, or for a valued chief cook or butler in a great household). Of course, most were fed, clothed, and given accommodation as well.

Still, Denning, in the mid-1930s, was making about 10x the income of a head gamekeeper, and perhaps 30x the income of a kitchen maid. Birkett, on a fee-income of between £25,000 and £40,000 a year, was making as much as ten times even those figures! Several millions a year, in 2024 money.

Social history. Interesting.

I see that, when Denning was made a High Court judge in 1944, his salary was set at £7,000, perhaps £300,000-£400,000 in today’s money, so rather more than High Court judges now get (around £225,000; and income tax is higher today).

So why was the bastard even here in the UK? Nothing in the Daily Mail report (of course). Looks Somali, but nothing in that very poor report about the origin or background of the criminal.

The Daily Mail “journalist” also describes the untermensch in question as having been “homeless” at the time that he killed the victim, but then goes on to say that the defendant drove away, went shopping after the attack, and then returned to his home!

No indication in that report as to why the defendant was even in the country. Nothing about the savage having a job, either, yet here the bastard is, in the UK, and with a home and a car, at that. Oh, and he had enough money to buy cocaine, apparently.

At least he thought to buy food for his cat, as it seems. I hope that the cat was not made homeless.

This country is so screwed, incredibly so.

Nothing that mass deportations or executions could not at least start to solve, though.

The Oreshnik strike is a signal to the United States and its allies that Moscow will be ready in any way to prevent them from inflicting a strategic defeat. Sergey Lavrov said this in an interview with Tucker Carlson:
“Westerners are fighting to maintain their hegemony in the world, in any country, region, on any continent. We are fighting for our legitimate security interests
.”

Key statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with Tucker Carlson:

Russia and the US are not officially at war, but a hybrid war is being waged against Moscow. And what is happening in Ukraine is the most visible and obvious part of this hybrid war. Moscow does not want to make things worse, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used on Russian territory, Russia is sending signals and hopes that the latest of these signals, from the new Oreshnik system, will be taken seriously.

It is obvious that the Ukrainians could not do what they do with modern long-range weapons without the direct participation of the American military.

The message we wanted to convey by testing this hypersonic system in real conditions is that we will be ready to do everything to protect our legitimate interests. The Minsk agreements stipulated that Kyiv should enter into direct dialogue with the people who did not accept the coup d’etat and promote the development of economic relations with this part of Ukraine, but none of this was done.

We prefer a peaceful settlement through negotiations based on respect for the legitimate security interests of Russia, respect for the Russian people living in Ukraine, their fundamental rights, linguistic and religious rights, which have been destroyed by a number of laws adopted by the Ukrainian parliament.

It is absolutely useless to claim that the people who came to power as a result of the military coup in February 2014 represented the Crimeans or the inhabitants of the east and south of Ukraine. The Crimeans rejected the coup, demanded to be left alone and said that they did not want to have anything to do with these people. So did the Donbass.

If there had been no coup d’état in February 2014 and if the agreement reached the day before between then-President Poroshenko and the opposition had been implemented, Ukraine would be united and Crimea would be part of it.

Russia is ready to send additional “messages” to the West if they do not draw the necessary conclusions after the launch of Oreshnik.

Russia is not considering the possibility of a nuclear war with the US.

Trump is friendly in conversation, but this does not mean he is pro-Russian.

Russia does not intend to destroy the Ukrainian people, they are brothers and sisters for Russians.

It is not his responsibility to disclose information about the number of Russian citizens killed since February 2022; this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense.

Russia still hasn’t received Navalny’s test results after his treatment in Germany.

Talk of a limited nuclear strike is an invitation to a catastrophe that Russia does not want.

Russia has never set out to kill people, unlike the Ukrainian regime.

There is a tragedy in Ukraine, while in Palestine there is a catastrophe

The number of civilians killed in Palestine in a year is almost twice the number of civilians killed in the Ukrainian conflict over 10 years.

US ‘feeding’ some Kurdish separatists in Syria.

Moscow does not believe that the solution to the Ukrainian issue is only for Russia and the US.

Statements by individual NATO officials about the possibility of preemptive strikes against Russia raise concerns.

The West is making a serious mistake in believing that Russia’s “red lines” can shift.

Zelensky is inadequate if, after everything he has done, he wants to return people of Russian culture to Ukraine.

For peace in Ukraine there should be no NATO, military bases or exercises involving foreign troops.

West will have to consider realities on the ground for agreement on Ukraine.

Russia will judge the Trump administration on its specific steps, but Biden wants to leave him a difficult legacy.

Why are @Nigel_Farage and Reform surging again in the polls? Because of one word. Immigration. Because of mass, uncontrolled, unprecedented immigration.

Consider just a few things we’ve learned since the election in July —and which you’ll already know if you read my newsletter.

We’ve learned that despite all the promises on Left and Right to reduce net migration it’s now rocketed to nearly one million people a year —more than twice what it was at the time of Brexit.

We’ve learned that neither Left nor Right, nor more importantly the Treasury, have any serious interest in slashing net migration and their forecasts now assume ongoing mass immigration forever.

We’ve learned that enough people to fill the city of Birmingham migrated into Britain last year —in just ONE year.

We’ve learned that the government departments and agencies that are supposed to count immigration cannot even get the numbers right.

We’ve learned that according to the government’s own forecasts Britain’s population is forecast to grow by at least another 6.5 million people by the year 2036 —equivalent to six Birmingham’s.

We’ve learned via the centrist Pew Research Centre that between today and 2050 Britain will see the largest increase in the absolute number of Muslims of all European nations.

We’ve learned that Muhammad has become the most popular baby name for boys in Britain for the first time, overtaking Noah.

We’ve learned that mass immigration is not only the biggest driver of Britain’s population growth but is now, in fact, the ONLY driver of our population growth.

We’ve learned that the fertility rate among the British has fallen to 1.4 and is forecast to fall below 1.3 by the end of the century, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 and while nobody in Westminster will dare talk about pro-family policies, we’ve learned that 86% of all immigration that’s now coming into Britain is coming from outside Europe —from poorer and radically different nations and cultures.

We’ve learned that our broken asylum system which neither of the big parties are willing to fix is now costing us at least £5.4 billion a year and has cost us around £18 billion since 2018.

We’ve learned about these costs at the very same time as our leaders have taken winter fuel payments off pensioners and smashed family farms to save £2 billion We’ve learned that over the last four years, only 15-18% of people who migrated into Britain came here to work in skilled jobs.

We’ve learned that on average each low-wage, low-skill migrant is now costing British taxpayers between £150,000 & £1 million a year.

We’ve learned that while Keir Starmer is talking about building 1.5 million homes we need to build more than half that JUST to keep up with the demand from immigration.

We’ve learned that over the last 4 years some 40,000 criminal offences were committed on Britain’s streets by immigrants who have avoided deportation.

We’ve learned that at least 1 in 4 migrants who avoid deportation have gone on to reoffend.

And we’ve learned, only this week, that since the financial crisis some 441,000 people from outside the UK have been given new social housing lettings at the same time as British families and young people have been plunged into a major housing crisis by our hapless elites.

This. This is why one in four Brits are now turning to Nigel Farage and Reform. This is why Reform is now ahead of Labour and looks set to pick up the realignment which the Tories squandered by lying to the country.

Millions of British people have simply had enough. Had enough of Labour Had enough of the Tories. Had enough of the expert class. Had enough of the lies. Had enough of the gaslighting. Had enough of the insults. They want their country back. And they will use whatever vehicle is available to get it back.”

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, an international, transnational conspiracy to create a mixed-race population, especially in Europe.

Both main System parties (and the LibDems) are connected to that conspiracy. Traitors who should be, and one day will be, dealt with.

The mainstream media also is riddled with traitors and those who go along with the evil plans of the conspirators for reasons of money and/or careerism.

There will one day have to be a thoroughgoing purge of the political, mass media, and general cultural milieux.

When Germany was on its knees after the First World War, and riddled with traitors and exploiters, one man, with a few followers, stood up against the tide. He attracted support and, despite the attempts to repress the national rebellion, prevailed and created the most advanced state in the world at the time.

Britain, and much of Europe, now also needs to free itself from exploitation and treachery.

Diary Blog, 4 December 2024, with a few thoughts about Reform UK, Tim Montgomerie’s defection, proportional representation, and Reform’s upsurge

Morning music

Reform UK

Tim Montgomerie’s leap from the Tory ship to Reform UK? Now this is a statement. Thirty-three years of loyalty to the Conservatives, yet even he’s had enough of the dithering, U-turns, and wet centrism. Reform UK is becoming the island for those sick of the Westminster circus, a home for patriots tired of compromise and careerists. The Tories should be terrified—if stalwarts like Montgomerie are walking away, what does that say about the state of the party? Reform UK isn’t just nibbling at the edges anymore; it’s carving out a proper movement for common-sense politics and sovereignty. Watch this space, lads. The political realignment is only just beginning.”

Naturally, for anyone social-national, Reform UK is only a step forward, rather than any giant leap. Many of its expressed policies are wrong, and many of its candidates non-European. It is also pro-Israel etc.

Reform, however, may help to kill off the System parties over the next few years.

As for Tim Montgomerie, I have of course never had any time for him. He supported the fake “compassionate Conservatism” of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne (both part-Jew) and the cruelties inflicted on so many by their policies, and by “welfare” (social security) “reformers” Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “Lord” Freud etc.

Still, Montgomerie’s defection is an interesting commentary on the possible upcoming demise of the Conservative Party.

Reform UK is polling at around 20%. It has been there before, just about, but fell back to score only 14.29% at GE 2024. In my opinion, though, the fact that Reform UK was able to have 5 MPs elected (in contradistinction to other small parties of the past half-century and more) is more important than appears superficially.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results

To look at Reform UK’s underwhelming (in themselves and in terms of numbers) 5 MPs and say (as many Labour Party partisans, pro-EU drones etc, have done, expressly) “ha ha! You lost!“, totally misses the point.

For any small political party, under the UK electoral system, to get even one MP elected is huge; to get 5 elected at once is, well, massive.

That especially applies once one realizes that it was only the FPTP voting system, which since the 1960s has gradually ceased to reflect the real levels of political opinion in the country, which prevented Reform UK having about 93 MPs (14.29% of 650).

Under a (full) proportional representation system, Reform UK would have been awarded 93 MPs, the LibDems 79, the Conservative Party 154, and Labour 219, on the voting numbers at GE 2024.

In reality, were the voting system proportional, many more voters might have voted for Reform UK anyway, because not put off doing so by the perception that not voting Lab, Con, or LibDem is “a wasted vote”.

As can be seen from the graphic above, the present system of voting in England (particularly) is skewed against the smaller parties. Not Reform UK alone; the Green Party, under a fully-proportionate system, would have been awarded, at GE 2024, 42 MPs (6.39% of 650) instead of the 3 who were actually elected. Even George Galloway’s Workers’ Party would have 5 seats.

Some proportional-voting systems have a “threshold”, 1%, 5% etc, below which a party gets no seats.

We now have a Labour government which was voted for by a third (33.7%) of the actually-voting electorate, and by a mere 20% of the eligible electorate. It has only marginal legitimacy.

Having said all that, we are where we are. At present, the main two System parties still stand opposed to reform of the electoral process.

The case of the SNP, as blogged previously, is interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#History.

The SNP was founded in 1934, but only had its first MP elected in 1945, in a by-election, and he lost his seat only 3 months later. The next SNP MP won her seat in another by-election, in 1967, but lost it in 1970, though another SNP candidate won in another seat. At that time, there were 71 MPs holding Scottish constituencies.

The SNP did well in 1974, getting 11 MPs at one of the two general elections, but fell back to 2 in 1979. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, the SNP increased its support but even in 2010 had only 6 MPs out of the 59 then available in Scotland.

Then, in 2015, the SNP had its electoral miracle, based on a “Conservative” Party government at Westminster supported by relatively few Scottish voters, and on a Labour Party which had been supreme in Scotland since 1945, increasingly so since 1964 and then in the early 21stC, but which was perceived as being useless (particularly so in the Blair/Brown years (when Labour was in power at Westminster) and thereafter, when Scottish Labour was headed by the egregiously poor Jim Murphy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Murphy]. Murphy had been an unsuccessful university student for 11 years, and never did graduate, but became a Labour MP at the relatively early age of 29.

In 2015, Scottish Labour lost 41 of its 41 Westminster seats, while the SNP held or gained 56 (out of 59).

How does that relate to Reform UK in 2024 and perhaps 2029?

We have seen how the SNP took over a decade to get 1 MP, and 40 years to get a cadre of MPs, and how the SNP only surged to power 81 years after its foundation.

Reform UK, dating from only 2021, is however the same, in effect, as its previous persona as Brexit Party, founded in 2018, and a lineal descendant from UKIP (though that still exists as a small rump), founded in 1993.

Reform UK is now aiming to do in England, as well as in the UK as a whole, what the SNP did in Scotland in 2015, i.e. catch the wave of popular support. For Farage, Tice etc, there has to be that FPTP tipping point, the point at which the illogical, unfair etc FPTP system, instead of impeding Reform, starts to work in its favour.

Reform’s slightly underwhelming result at GE 2024 was purely the result of its support (and votes) being spread so thinly. Reform had considerably more actual votes than the LibDems, but few concentrations of votes. Where the concentration was dense enough, Reform got MPs.

The msm commentators, and the Labour and Conservative Party partisans, have not fully taken on board why Labour won so many MPs, and so won the election.

Labour won because the Conservative Party lost. Trite, yes, but the point is that —as can be seen from the percentage voting for Labour, only 33.7%— rather few people actually voted Labour, and most of those who did, did so in a wholly negative way, i.e. because in this or that particular constituency, the fight was perceived as being only between Lab and Con, or Lab and SNP in Scotland, and people desperately wanted rid of 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

What, then happens when Labour, Starmer-Labour, Labour Friends of Israel Labour, is hated and despised as much as the Conservative Party was 5 months ago? Well, actually, that has already happened, but of course Labour is going nowhere, insulated from dissent, protest, and even riot by its very large majority (presently 156: see https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/government-majority).

It has taken Starmer only 5 months to put Labour down where the Cons were, in popular estimation, after many years, arguably 14 years.

If the voting patterns of several years continue, i.e. people voting against rather than for candidates and parties, then I think it entirely possible that, in voting against Labour, Reform might be the receptacle for those “anti” votes, more than the Conservative Party. In fact, I can see at least the possibility that both Lab and Con will slump, Lab to maybe 200 seats, and Con to somewhere below 100. If that were to happen, there would be about 350 seats going to others, in England maybe 250. Reform could be the main beneficiary of that.

It may be speculative to suggest that the next general election could see Reform UK as the party with the most Commons seats, but it is now not impossible.

How many seats could Reform get? I do not know. Anywhere from 50 to 200, if they continue to gather support. Reform came second in 98 seats at GE 2024; on the other hand, UKIP came second in 120 seats in 2015.

The only gamechanger I could see for the Cons would be if “Boris” Johnson were to come back into direct politics, take one of the few “safe” Con seats left, depose the Nigerian woman, Kemi Badenoch, then appeal to the public, “cosplaying” his favourite role as an am-dram Winston Churchill.

As regular readers know, I myself despise Johnson, and hold him in utter contempt. However, many voters do not. Stupid, maybe, but we must look at the realities. In fact, Johnson is not terribly popular with the voters; just more popular than Kemi Badenoch ever will be.

I have often wondered why Johnson was not granted a life peerage. He could have had one, had he wished. There is only one answer— he wanted to keep his options open. Were he to return as Con leader, he could not do worse than Sunak (or Badenoch) electorally, in my view. A “Boris” general election might steal much of Reform’s thunder. The Cons might even become the largest party again. Hateful to me (as is Starmer-Labour) but it might just happen.

At GE 2024, parties and individuals other than LibLabCon got a record 30.4%. That means that, already, if taken with the 40.2% of eligible voters who did not vote, 70.6% of people did not vote for the so-called “three main parties”.

Exam grade inflation

Happened to see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-level_(United_Kingdom)#England,_Wales_and_Northern_Ireland.

In the early 1980s (when I took A Levels, studying for a few months alone in order to be able to get onto a law degree course, having dropped out of school a decade before, at age 16, in 1973), about 8% of candidates were awarded a Grade A. By 2009, that had grown to nearly 27%, despite the increase in the number of candidates.

In 2009, the concerns about grade inflation resulted in a new category being established, the A*. Look at the statistics. From 2009, about 8% were getting A* grades, but the ordinary A grades were, from 2009, running at around 18% or more. B and C grades were inflating even more.

As with the currency, grade inflation simply means that, in the end, the piece of paper becomes almost worthless.

Israeli war crimes— Genocide in Gaza

““My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence. And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide. A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people – more than 800 of them civilians – were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage. But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide. But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide. It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words. But there does need to be a clear intent. And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders – including the prime minister and the minister of defence – and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there. A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here. Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership. Lemkin – that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ – described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements. And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it. But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world. But reality cannot be denied. So yes, it is a genocide. And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.” – Statement to Led By Donkeys, December 2024 – Photo: Parliament Square, London, 8.40am, 4th December 2024.

Powerful.

That statement certainly puts the UK and US-based Jew-Zionist “human rights” lawyers in their place, the ones constantly tweeting about how what has been happening in Gaza is supposedly not a genocide because… [how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?].

What really matters politically, though, is not the Westminster Bubble blame-game but what is actually happening on the streets. A million or more invaders every year (last year 1.2M) (yes, one or two hundred thousand leave, as do about a hundred thousand disenchanted Brits), and a steep slide in terms of public services, a decent society, crime, incomes, housing provision, and much else.

If things go on as they now are, there will be either a quietly-British form of social-national revolution somewhere or somewhen down the line, or (and/or) a kind of civil war mixed with a social war and a race war. A confused mixed picture, though, not a sharply-delineated and two-sided one.

In contemporary Britain, the truth is “inflammatory“…

I argued, in my long-ago talk at the London Forum in 2017, that people charged with such essentially political offences should never plead guilty.

Pleading guilty is understandable in ordinary criminal cases, in that it reduces the sentence where the evidence is overwhelming, but I consider it the duty of social-national and other nationalist defendants to plead not guilty. To plead guilty is to validate the prosecution. Also, in a jury case especially, you never know your luck.

I followed my own advice in my 2023 free speech trial.

Yes, I was still convicted, after a process that started, from my point of view, in February or March 2023, and ended with my sentencing hearing on 14 March 2024, but my “9-month community order” (probation, by any other word) ends in about a week, technically, and in reality finished in mid-September 2024; my “community order” sentence of “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be half a dozen or so meetings ranging in duration from about 30 minutes to a couple of hours each.

Would I have been handed down a more lenient sentence had I pleaded guilty? I doubt it.

It does not even much matter that Reform UK would probably be poor at governing. The main thing is to smash the “two main parties” scam, and—to intrude a metaphor from the world of chess— to open up the board.

Happened to catch 10 mins of a TV jaunt around the Caribbean, presented by Clive Myrie. Needless to say, the black TV presenter focussed, when in Jamaica and Barbados, mainly on slavery, “reparations” for slavery, and on “racism” etc.

There was an amusing moment when Myrie met relatives in what I took to be their not unpleasant large villa, set amid a profusion of flowering plants. One of them mentioned how Myrie’s father had, after having moved to the UK, encountered “racism, not like you today“, but Myrie demurred. He obviously has that chip on the shoulder, despite being paid hundreds of thousands a year by the BBC and (as, co-incidentally, I just saw in the Guardian) large extra amounts moonlighting as well: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/04/clive-myrie-apologises-for-failing-to-declare-at-least-145000-in-outside-earnings-bbc.

Kiev-regime Ukraine is not a civilized state. Indeed, it is not really a state at all. Were it not propped up by EU, US, UK aid, it would collapse. It will eventually collapse. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

What makes politicians and parties “credible” and “serious”?

In fact, at time of writing, that petition has over 600,000 signatures, and is obviously going to end up in the millions. I doubt that its existence, even if 6,000,000 sign, will change anything, though. Keir Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment will hang on, in order to retain power, to retain status, and to quite deliberately further ruin this country.

Interesting how people perceive political parties and their MPs, though.

For example, Rachel Reeves was touted as a real heavyweight, a serious economist etc. Now, it turns out that she was not working as an economist prior to becoming an MP, but was, as the detractors say, more or less “Rachel from Accounts“, a kind of office bod, and a retail banking mortgage adviser who sold retail products to members of the public and engaged in customer relations.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14116675/Rachel-Reevecustomer-relations-Halifax-CV.html.

The CVs of many MPs, not only Labour ones, are faked to the point of utter dishonesty; that of Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, for one. Even the bastard’s surname is a fake (it is not “Duncan Smith” but simply “Smith”).

As to the parties themselves, the public are fooled into thinking that the Labour Party and Conservative parties are somehow “serious” or “credible” because they have been around for a long time and have, respectively, 402 and 121 MPs. Even the LibDems, who have 72.

Reform UK is not regarded, even now, as credible or serious, partly because it is fairly new, because it is a vehicle owned (literally) by Nigel Farage, and because it has only 5 MPs

The reality is that the make-up of the present Parliament is by reason of a voting system that is more than simply flawed; it simply bears no relationship to the real and expressed opinions and preferences of the electorate.

The present “elected” Labour Party quasi-dictatorship of Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet Starmer was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actual voters), and has 402 MPs. 3 out of 20 (3 out of 12) voted Conservative Party, which has 121 MPs. 2 out of 20 (2 out of 12) voted LibDem; 72 MPs.

Then we have Reform UK, also voted for by 2 out of 20 (2 out of 12) voters. Indeed, Reform UK gathered in half a million more votes than did the LibDems. Only 5 MPs! Unfair, and actually illogical. In fact, the proportion of votes going to the LibDems was 12.22%, to Reform UK 14.29%.

More significantly, Labour’s total vote was, roughly, 9.7M, the Conservatives’ was 6.8M, Reform UK got 4M, and the LibDems 3.5M. Reform UK was not so far behind the Conservative Party, and within sight of the Labour Party, which got nearly 2.5x the Reform UK vote.

I do not think it impossible that a head of steam (of discontent) will build from now until 2029, and that Labour will then suffer a crushing electoral defeat. The “Conservatives”, presumably under their new Nigerian woman leader, are unlikely, in my opinion, to get far beyond where they now are. The LibDems are just a “dustbin” party for the votes of those not wishing to vote Lab or Con. The remaining straw at which the voters might clutch is Reform. I could see Reform winning 50-100 seats next time, maybe more, in those seats where 3 or 4 parties will be in serious contention, each of the contending parties getting 20%-30%.

In those circumstances, yes, Reform might emerge as either the third or the second party in the Commons. First place? Unlikely, but never say never.

Caveat: Reform is morphing slowly into a new System party, as witness Farage’s recent statements, both pro-Israel and not particularly anti-Islam; also, with numerous non-white candidates. Only real social nationalism can save this country, but there is no party of that kind, unfortunately.

Incidentally, that “Call a General Election Now” petition has, in the time it took me to write the above lines, gone well above 700,000, and is running at about 2,000 signatures per minute. Admittedly, 700,000 people is only about 1% of the whole UK population, and about 2% of the GE 2024 turnout. On the other hand, if the petition numbers reach 7M, or 14M, are Labour partisans still going to be saying that it is meaningless? In terms of public relations, that does not wash.

“Seriousness” and “credibility” of political parties rests on a number of connected factors: ideology, professed policies, leader, other prominent members and/or MPs, history (if any), funding and publicity, msm comment, Press comment, online comment, number of people voting for the party.

“Call a General Election Now” (II)

I notice that the petition now has 1.2M signatures, and still increasing by about 2,000 per minute as I write. If, as expected, the signatories are ignored by the Government (save for a perfunctory brief and no-vote debate in the Commons), then Labour’s slide will certainly continue.

The slide to dystopia in the UK continues…

“This British man and former soldier who served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan and has PTSD has just been sent to prison for two years because of what he said on Facebook in the aftermath of Southport.

Here’s what he said: -“Civil war is here. The only thing missing is bullets, that’s the next step.”

-he said he is only racist “to those who suck the life out of our culture. As a culture we are too nice and soft” -“They want us to be Islamic, that’s why they are here.”

-“Come on guys, it’s time to stand up. Everything our ancestors, our grandparents and parents fought for is gone, don’t be scared.”

-he then posted a series of AI images including a child dressed as a medieval knight carrying a sword next to lion with the caption “Time to wake up the lion to save our children’s future”.

-an image that depicted a man wearing what was described in court as “traditional Islamic clothing” with a large knife being held over his head

-and a third image depicting a group of men in traditional Islamic dress chasing a crying child in a Union flag t-shirt in front of the Houses of Parliament.

He was sent to prison for two years.”

One of several ridiculous aspects to political prosecutions of this sort is that, in that case as in many others, the defendant posted certain things, certain comments. He was sentenced, both harshly and absurdly, to 2 years, meaning he will probably serve about 9 months, yet the very same words have now been shared by the Clown Prosecution Service, the police (I believe), the System news media, people such as Matt Goodwin, all those who retweeted Matt Goodwin’s tweet (at time of writing, about 600), and others such as me, as seen hereinabove.

Obviously, that defendant’s words were posted on an earlier date and in, arguably, different circumstances (the now-famous protests and/or “riots”).

As regular readers will know, the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby finally procured (via direct political pressure and after a decade of trying) my prosecution, which happened last year, the one-day trial taking place in November 2023. I was sentenced in March 2024, as seen below:

A 9-month “community order”, now almost expired (and, in reality, long-ago finished with), and a financial impost (now paid off via instalments and a crowdfunder). See those earlier blog articles.

Possibly, but if so, by that time Farage will have become even more “System”; he is already going that way, not only pro-Israel but mellow towards the Muslims in the UK.

Britain should join with Russia and mainland Europe, thus creating a loose confederation based on shared values and mutual interests.

The crazy and stupid policy of recent UK governments, provoking and almost directly attacking Russia, is bound to result, in the end, in a major war and, quite likely, the destruction of much of Britain, certainly all the major cities, followed by civil war, social war, and overall chaos.

The intelligent Swedish policy of neutrality saved the Swedes from two massive wars in the 20thC. Looks like the present NWO/ZOG government is going to throw all that away.

Regular readers of the blog will know that the dim Essex Police invited me for a “voluntary” interview (in fact, entirely involuntary) in 2017, because Stephen Silverman, the malicious and self-styled “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the very small but (((well-funded))) pressure group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], laid a complaint against me and also (as the police themselves told me) against about half a dozen other persons (all unknown to me) in respect of allegedly “antisemitic” tweets. At the time, Silverman lived in South Essex.

My account of that is here: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.

Well, that was in early January 2017. Here we are, almost 8 years later, and I no longer have a Twitter account (the Jewish lobby managed to have me expelled in 2018), but I am still publishing the blog almost daily. Several of those who have targeted me over the years have “shuffled off this mortal coil” already.

Talking point

In fact, the picture is yet more stark. If you discount births to non-whites, the figures for almost all those countries would be lower. That is certainly the case regarding the UK, France, and Germany.

Scientific research seems to have established that the majority of people in Europe today, certainly the majority of real (i.e. white) Europeans, are descended from only 3 individuals in the Bronze Age, and most of those present-day people from only one man. I have featured that research a couple of times on the blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

It may be that a small group of people will have to lay the foundations for both a new society and, over time, a new race-formation. All others will fall by the wayside.

FPTP voting being the illogical and unfair thing that it is, those figures would result in a similar number of seats (for the English parties) as at GE 2024, according to Electoral Calculus.

If, however, Labour went down to 28% and Reform UK went up to 24%, the latter might have 48 MPs. Also, Labour would be a minority government.

Despite the evident hopeless incompetence of Starmer-Labour, the pseudo-Conservative Party shows no immediate sign of being able to mount a serious challenge.

I wonder what percentage are from the (((usual))) suspects?

I once knew someone whose ex-boyfriend, English and a Cambridge graduate, worked for the World Bank. That young man was sent to live in Yemen (at that time divided into two; I am not sure but think this would have been South Yemen). That would have been in the mid/late 1970s. The young man lived in fairly basic hotel accommodation for the year in which he was collecting and collating economic statistics in Yemen. At the end of the year, those would be the raw material for a report which would become an official World Bank report and the basis for economic help to that Yemeni state.

This was, of course, in pre-Internet days, and the statistics gathered in were all on paper in his hotel room. No copies, and there was no way, in the absence of an office, to relay any but the most basic information to World Bank HQ in Washington D.C.

At the end of the year, that young World Bank employee was ready to depart, carrying with him all the papers and files etc. It was at that point when a water pipe in his room developed a bad leak while he was out. The room was flooded, and most of the material destroyed.

On return to Washington, the young man sat in his office for a couple of weeks, agonizing about what to do. Eventually, a senior colleague came in and asked him what the problem was. He confessed. The senior colleague helped him to cobble together a report that looked plausible, though most of the statistics had to be simply invented.

“World Bank”. Like many things, organizations and people in this world, it sounds terribly impressive. On the surface…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemen#Two_states

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

As to the “young man” in question, I myself met him only once, when he was not that young anymore. Early 1980s. I was about 26, my then girlfriend 33, and the “young man” in this story about 33 or 34, maybe 35. He, on a flying visit, invited us, with a couple of others, also ex-Cambridge alumni (as always, I was the outsider) to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, I think on the Finchley Road, not far from where the other couple lived in Hampstead.

The economist’s American wife was back in the USA. Perhaps he was curious to see his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. It could have been a little awkward, especially in view of the fact that there was an age gap made greater by the others being all rather established in worldly life, whereas I was pretty much “economically inactive”, and spending most of my time on occult, theological, historical, and speculative “alternative” political matters.

In the event, the evening went not badly, despite (maybe because) I was too busy talking to notice that I was pouring hot Chinese tea all over myself; the (other) lady present said that it was very impressive that I did not cry out. Very dry, very Cambridge…

I just looked up the said economist. Now in, at least, his mid-seventies, he has apparently also worked for the U.S. Treasury and on Wall Street, and has taken part at a high level in meetings of the Basel Committee [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_Committee_on_Banking_Supervision]. Obviously still based, in the old term, “stateside”.

As always, I find it interesting to see how people’s lives are largely determined, not in every case but in many, by their advantages and disadvantages of birth, family income and capital, early education etc.

The economist’s father, I now see (from Wikipedia), died in 1988 and, as I already knew, was a Labour (later SDP) life peer, who had had a considerable medical, academic, and political career.

In the end, all humans live out an allotted span, and all in the end leave the Earth (until reincarnated).

The continuing slide of the UK down a dystopian slope

…or, as Katie Hopkins calls it, “Batshit Bonkers Britain“.

A few examples from today’s newspapers:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14091119/Geology-racist-linked-white-supremacy-claims-Queen-Mary-University-London-professor.html

A geography professor at a leading British university has described the study of rocks and the natural world as racist and linked the academic field to ‘white supremacy’.

Kathryn Yusoff, who lectures at the prestigious Queen Mary University of London, said that the geology as a subject was ‘riven by systematic racism’ and influenced heavily by colonialism.

The study of prehistoric life through fossils was also branded as an enabler for racism, with the professor referring to the field of palaeontology as ‘pale-ontology’.”

Under the European Convention of Human Rights people who may be persecuted because of their sexual orientation can claim asylum in the UK.

Eight countries saw 100 per cent of claims were successful. These were people from Afghanistan, El Salvador, Syria, Eritrea, Myanmar (Burma), Libya, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Yemen.

As predicted years ago by both accredited “military/naval experts” and, inter alia, me (on this blog).

…and the Harehills (Leeds) riots were not “Romanian”, either.

Never confuse real Romanians with Roma Gypsies, which are (mostly) a kind of criminal underclass who live in Romania (and also now in the UK, thanks to our traitor politicians), may have Romanian passports, but are not Romanian an sich.

Romanians are, understandably, offended by being constantly conflated, usually by ignorant UK newspaper scribblers and TV talking heads, with the Roma Gypsies.

So Farage has now not only vehemently supported Israel and the UK Jewish/Zionist lobby, but also seems to be saying that Muslims in the UK should not be alienated politically either. The man is, as often said, a snake-oil salesman but, having said that, I would not rule out the chance of him becoming a Cabinet minister in some kind of coalition government after 2029.

Quasi-legal thought

It occurs to me that, should anyone in the UK be accused of any indictable offence (meaning, simply put, one in which guilt will be determined by a jury rather than a single magistrate —or lay bench— as is the case with non-indictable offences), and if that alleged offence involves alleged hostility to Jews, or the Jews in general, the said defendant might be able to count on popular disgust at what the Jewish state of Israel is doing in Gaza to sway the jury. Just “a thought out of season”…

Where is “Israel” though? Is it in the Middle East (only), or is it based as much in the USA, UK, France and around the world, but under cover?

The possible/probable all-out war, if and when it happens, will be very negative for all the people of the region.

One silver lining, though, is that, while US attention is focussed on the Middle East, Russian forces can continue to degrade the infrastructure of the Kiev regime, and press forward in Donetsk and elsewhere within the Ukrainian/Russian theatre.

In 1947 Israel tried to kill President Truman.

In 1954 Israel bombed American interests in Egypt and tried framing the Muslim Brotherhood.

In 1965 Israel started stealing American nuclear materials.

In 1967 Israel bombed the USS Liberty killing 34 US servicemen .

In 2012 the Snowden documents showed that Israel was America’s top spy threat.

In 2017 an Israeli spy ring was uncovered in Washington DC.

Few now remember Cornfeld, or his vehicle, Investors’ Overseas Services, but it had a high profile in the late 1960s and very early 1970s. I myself recall seeing ads for it in the Daily Telegraph colour magazine in, I think, 1970.

Incidentally, those British newspapers’ colour magazines of the early 1970s were on a different level of quality vis a vis the weekend supplements seen today; that applied especially to the Daily Telegraph one, which I think came out on Fridays. Real reportage on matters of importance and/or interest, not recipes, makeup, gossip, chick-lit and similar rubbish.

While I do not agree with everything posted by that tweeter, David R. Morgan, his Twitter/X account is well worth a look and, for those with Twitter/X accounts (I myself was expelled in 2018 after a Jew-Zionist contrived mass-complaint, and I cannot be bothered to retrieve my lost account), well worth following.

Argentina

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/27/poverty-rate-argentina-milei

Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to almost 53% in the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, offering the first hard evidence of how the far-right libertarian’s tough austerity measures are hitting the population.

Since taking office in December, the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” – who campaigned with a chainsaw in hand to symbolise the cuts he would make – has slashed public spending in an effort to tame chronic inflation and eliminate the budget deficit.

His administration has frozen pensions, reduced aid to soup kitchens, cut welfare programmes and stopped all public works projects. Tens of thousands of public employees have been fired, reduced energy and transportation subsidies have pushed costs up, and purchasing power has eroded.

Kirsten Sehnbruch, an expert on Latin America at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said she had never seen such a large jump in poverty rates. “This new economic programme is not protecting the poor,” she said. “The jump is absolutely horrendous.”

Milei’s cuts, however, have been cheered by markets, investors and the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owes $43bn. Monthly inflation has also decreased from about 26% in December to about 4% in June, where it has remained, although annual inflation still remains one of the highest in the world, exceeding 230%.

María Claudia Albornoz, a community worker from Santa Fe, said the government had “provoked a situation of desperation”. “We are feeling it in the fridge, empty and unplugged. Money is really worth absolutely nothing. We have three jobs and it is not enough,” she said.

While Milei’s popularity ratings have remained high, public support now appears to be waning. A survey published on Monday found a drop of almost 15% in September, the steepest fall during his nine-month administration. Recent polls have found that worries about inflation have been overtaken by fears of job loss and poverty.

Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said that economic decline was inevitable when controlling inflation, and pointed to similar historic crises in Brazil and Bolivia, but questioned whether Milei’s changes will work.

For a county that has historically prided itself on being a middle-class nation, this poverty rate is terribly painful,” Sabatini said.

The fact is that the “elected” (by 4 voters out of every 20 eligible and out of every 12 that voted) semi-dictatorship of freeloading Starmer and his cabal has absolutely nothing to offer the British people.

A British man who crammed a woman and child into a tiny car boot with little room to move or breathe has been jailed, the Home Office has said. Leon Leslie, 39, stashed the Vietnamese migrants a 14-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman into the back of his hired Kia and tried to transport them to the UK.

[“British man“…]

Border Force agents found the pair wedged in the boot when they stopped the car in Coquelles, France, on April 16 last year. Leslie, from Birmingham, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assisting unlawful immigration into the UK.

When questioned, he refused to offer any explanation as to why the woman and girl were in his car, the Home Office said.

Leslie was jailed for three years at Canterbury Crown Court On Thursday, September 26, having pleaded guilty.

Farage is, of course, a major aspect of the “controlled opposition” phenomenon.

Having said that, Reform UK may well have a part to play in destroying the “three main parties” scam in the UK.

The strategy of the System seems to be that, if/when the main System parties are finally binned by the voters, Reform UK will be there, under (((the usual))) control to catch the ball.

Only real social nationalism can save the UK and all Europe, but Reform UK, and the Farage-style parties on mainland Europe can, despite their origins and intentions, be a step towards what is necessary, moving the “Overton window” among the people, and that is what matters most.

“The Charity Commission has discovered that Naomi Campbell’s “anti-poverty” charity raised £4.8million but only £389K went to good causes.

I suggest she fills the hole from her personal $ 80million fortune. The commission have now banned her from running a charity for five years as they they found widespread financial misconduct.

Astonished there isn’t a police investigation.

It emerged during the inquiry that the charity paid £9,400 for Campbell to stay three nights in a five-star Cannes hotel where she was appearing in a fashion fundraiser for the charity. Surprise, surprise the charity had chosen its fashion to coincide with the city’s film festival. The stars were aligned! Further, she ran up a bill of £6,000, once again paid by the charity, on spar treatment, room service and even her cigarettes. A new low. Not even paying for her own fags.

Campbell, 54, set up Fashion for Relief in 2005 saying she had been inspired by her “ honourable mentor” Nelson Mandela. Don’t imagine Mandela wants his name linked in that way. The charity was supposed, to provide relief during humanitarian disasters. All it provided was supplying relief when you needed a packet of cigarettes.

Another trustee , a lawyer, was banned for 9 years. He had received £290,000 over two years in unauthorised consultancy fees but picked up an average £26,000 a year in expenses. All this scandal confirms is the reason many don’t contribute to charity.

Naomi Campbell has been up to her neck in all sorts of criminality for years. See, e.g. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/08/11/the-jew-epstein-and-prince-andrew-the-british-royal-family-has-another-scandal-maybe-its-time-to-just-get-rid-of-them/.

The Epstein scandal is but one example.

As for charities, the regulation of them is far too lax, from the political and other activities of the larger charities (and the massive salaries they pay to the few at the top) to the smaller ones, some of which are outright frauds, as with the “Captain Tom” nonsense.

Of course, the egregious online “grifters”, such as “Jack Monroe”, the Jew Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”), the Depher UK fellow, Julia Grace Patterson, Mike Stuchbery, “Supertanskiii” are not, most of them, registered as charities anyway.

An armed camp. Arguably the closest example in modern times to ancient Sparta.

I have to admit, though, that some of those girls wear their automatic weapons (etc) rather stylishly.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: The World Economic Forum is “a billionaires’ boys’ club that’s arranging for the world to shift wealth upward, and to clamp down totalitarian controls on everybody else”. “It’s astonishing to me that these people go to Davos in their private jets, and they’re able to tell these world leaders how to govern us in ways that eradicate our constitutional and civil rights.” Credit: @RobertKennedyJr. @glennbeck.”

…and even were there one, the puny efforts of human beings can do little to change the situation.

I was accused of being a shill again today. It is now 4 years since I started advocating pro bono on Twitter. I have had no salary or pension since. The idea I am conflicted because of financial gain is laughable. I was paid £78 through buy me a coffee until the Royal College of Pathologists put a stop to that. Twitter itself has paid me a total of $1000 Substack subscribers have very kindly donated £4,000 I netted £30,000 from book sales. Most my expert witness help has been pro bono but I have started charging this year resulting in £4000 I also have had a few hundred from the handful of media interviews I charged for. That is it. <£10k per year. I have never worked harder. I can’t begin to tell you what it has all cost me. Nor can I begin to tell you what I have gained.”

The guilty should —and I hope will eventually be— punished. The “Covid” scam dictators, those responsible for mass immigration and migration-invasion, the Zionist element too, and the 2010-to-present “austerity” propagandists, among others.

Ha ha! Then you think, “that is the best that they can come up with as a national leader, representing Haiti in front of the world“. Probably counts as one of their most educated, cultured etc…

If only they, and other Caribbean “states”, and African ones, would have the moral stature to exercise a little humility, and to admit that they need, before anything else, direct rule by white Europeans.

If only, also, white Europe and its overseas offshoots would recognize anew both their manifest destiny and their responsibility to rule and, included in that, their responsibility to protect also the non-European peoples and the world’s wildlife.

Britain in 2024

I happened to see this crime report in a local newspaper: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24606453.robber-disguised-police-officer-raided-wealthy-sandbanks-home/.

“Robber disguised as police officer raided wealthy Sandbanks home.

An armed robber who tied up and threatened to shoot the wife and daughter of a wealthy company director in their Sandbanks home has been jailed for 16 years.

Career criminal Aaron Evans and accomplice Ashley Fulton held Kerry and Emily Aitchison at gunpoint during the terrifying raid on their luxury home overlooking Poole Harbour.

After tying up Mrs Aitchison they threatened to burn Emily, 22, with an iron and then shoot her mother in front of her if she didn’t open the safe.

Brave Mrs Aitchison, 55, called the pair ‘scum of the earth’ and didn’t give them the code.

Evans and Fulton ransacked the £2.5m house before fleeing with more than £200,000 worth of luxury watches, designer handbags, jewellery and cash.

The bungling robbers made a catalogue of errors that led police to their door.”

[Bournemouth Echo]

The full report is worth reading.

What struck me most, apart from the unpleasant violence and the sheer ineptitude of the robbers, was the fact that those robbers, despite not having been able to gain access to the safe, yet escaped with over £200,000 in cash, jewels, and other items.

The report says that the husband of the lady attacked owns, via a company, 21 care homes.

There is something wrong with England, with its economy and society, when someone can own 21 care homes and profit so much that, even in his own home, he and his family have hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and jewels loosely lying around. Plus whatever was or is in that home safe. Plus, no doubt, investments which may well amount to millions.

For me, that is an example of what a Conservative leader (Edward Heath) once called “the unacceptable face of capitalism” (though Heath was referring to a very different kind of company— Lonrho).

On a smaller scale, I once encountered another example of such profiteering.

When I was a barrister based in chambers in Exeter (2002-2008), I appeared fairly frequently, often several days a week, at Exeter County Court which, for silly ideological reasons, was planned and built without any parking available at all. People have either to walk to public car parks or find parking nearby.

I used to park at a nearby hotel, and occasionally talked to the elderly-seeming attendant. It turned out that the parking there was contracted out to the attendant’s son-in-law, who had left the Royal Marines without a penny, and had started one of those vulture clamping outfits, later getting contracts with hotels etc. As I was hearing this, a beautiful blonde drove out in a new Range-Rover. The attendant’s daughter. The wealth and display thereof had been acquired within only 2 years of car parking activity.

Britain used to make things, sell things, and have decent professions like the Bar (now mostly trashed), but not now; these days, rather unpleasant nouveaux riches “coin it” as parasites, rather than useful private enterprise people. Car parking. Care homes. Buy-to-let.

Well, a good week— 9/10, thus trumping the 6.5/10 claimed by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answer to question 7.

Not just “illegal” migration-invasion (which is only 5%-10% of all immigration into the UK).

For someone such as John Rentoul, the political landscape is effectively unchanging. There will, he imagines, always be a “Conservative” Party, a “Labour” Party and a can’t-decide “dustbin” party (LibDems). There will, he thinks, never be radical or revolutionary change in the UK.

For the John Rentouls of this world, mass immigration is good or at least OK, and it is mainly beneficial, with a few small problems along the way. After all, in Hampstead and Highgate (socio-political) hurricanes hardly ever happen…

Rentoul voted twice for “Boris”-idiot to become Mayor of London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rentoul. ‘Nuff said…

Meanwhile, in the real world…

The Westminster Bubble journalists such as John Rentoul seem to have missed the main point about GE 2024, i.e. that “Labour”-label did not “win”; the “Conservative” Party lost, and it lost because the voters wanted to bin it. Labour’s fake “landslide” was merely an unavoidable by-product of that, as was the non-existent (despite the huge increase in seats) “LibDem upsurge”.

In reality, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote (because there was no party they felt able to support, mainly). Of the remaining 12 that did vote, only 4 voted Labour, and many of those did so not because they really supported Labour but because they wanted to stamp on the last 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment. Also, 3 of the 12 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and (almost) 1 voted Green.

My point here is that voters voted primarily to bin the Cons.

Rentoul and his type are assuming that if, in 2028 or 2029, the voters want to bin Lab, they will revert to voting Con. Maybe not. Maybe they will, even if not much convinced, turn to Reform UK, whatever its flaws.

Look at that Techne UK poll. Both Lab and Con down 2 or 3 points, but Reform UK up 3 points. It is not improbable to imagine Reform UK getting 20% of the vote, and 25% is not impossible.

Hung Parliament territory, with the existing FPTP voting system.

What if the population were to turn like a school of fish, and 30% were to vote Reform UK? Still hung Parliament, but with Reform UK challenging Labour for the position of being largest party in the Commons.

Naturally, I could only support (or lead) a social-national party, and Reform UK is far from being that, but one can see that events (particularly the catastrophic and continuing migration invasion) may propel Reform UK higher over the next few years, and that will move —has already moved— the “Overton window”. Next stop— social nationalism.

“Following weeks of criticism Starmer, Reeve’s and Rayner have just said they will no longer accept freebie clothes. Just reread that. Unbelievable statement considering all the criticism they piled on Boris and co. Such bloody hypocrites. Nobody knew about Reeves and Rayner having kept schtum as Starmer had to admit he took free suits and wife Victoria took free dresses from Labour donor Lord Alli. The public will not forget. This is already a wounded government. All on the take. Starmer led the way. Increasingly unlikely he will survive.”

The present rabble are just another face of the overall System, just like “Boris”-idiot, Sunak, Truss etc. No real difference, just different aesthetics.

Looking back on my blog posts (re. Starmer, going back several years now), I think that I can claim to have been the first, or one of the first, to see what was coming down the line (as with “Boris”-idiot).

The sheer ineptitude does not surprise, in fact, though the very early and very public unmasking of Starmer (as unfit to be Prime Minister) does. I thought it would take longer for his deficiencies to become apparent.

The Times reports that it’s now more expensive to power an electric car than to run a petrol or diesel vehicle.

Stats show using a public rapid charger cost 24.1p per mile, 16.4p for the slower public charger compared with 14.5p for petrol and 12.5p for diesel.

Homes which have a home charger are in much better shape due to dramatically cheaper electric meaning the journey will be between 2p to 7p a mile. But in cities three quarters of tenants and residents live in flats and terraces and therefore can’t have a home charging unit fitted and will have to use public chargers. This will turn out to be a big political issue as people will simply refuse to buy electric cars. The good news is that Ed Miliband will lose his job.

Electric car sales have stalled in the UK and fallen by 44% across Europe. The Times worked out that a London to Penzance return powered by super charger will be £148 compared with petrol at £89.”
