“Mark Lewis Lawyer”—latest news
Regular readers will be aware that James Wilson, a university lecturer, won a libel case against two Jews, Cantor and Mendelsohn. A third defendant, a vicious Jewish online troll called Pete Newbon, killed himself during the trial, having concealed his activities from his wife.
At conclusion of the trial, the judge criticized, and found not credible, the evidence of a number of Jewish “witnesses” called for the defendants. Among those witnesses, Adam Cailler (Daily Star scribbler), Joanne Bell (prolific on Twitter sub nom “@jobellerina”), one Nathan Comiskey, and Simon Myerson, a notorious and vituperative Jewish barrister and, at the time, Recorder (p/t judge) who since the trial (though not because of it), has been removed from the Bench by reason of his unpleasant social media arguments and remarks.
Mark Lewis, the egregious and now mainly Israel-based solicitor, acted for at least one, and I think at least two) of the defendants. The lost trial and the aftermath of that trial, brought out that Lewis had, not for the first time, misled the Court, and also had misled (whether deliberately or negligently) his own client(s), in telling them that, were he/they to lose at trial, his/their family home(s) would not be at risk in relation to the damages and costs of the proceedings (costs incurred by the victorious claimant, Wilson).
The Court, at and after conclusion of trial, made it clear that those homes were at risk, not protected. Lewis’s negligent or (arguende) deliberately dishonest behaviour and advice has thus put at risk the homes of the losing defendants.
I missed what has been happening in the past few days:
The Defendants in my case have to pay me £80k in costs tomorrow.
Their solicitors should pay, in particular Mark Lewis (@MLewisLawyer) of Patron Law (@LawPatron) because of the unbelievably appalling conduct.
Indeed. I hope that is about to change though. One might imagine that when the truth comes out about one of the UK’s leading media litigators, then it might be newsworthy?
Not sure whether Wilson is “tongue in cheek” there. Mark Lewis “one of the UK’s leading media litigators“? He must be joking. Lewis is just a self-promoting fraud, his dishonesty covered up (and his abilities hugely puffed) in past years by a Jewish-Zionist newspaper and TV cabal.
When Lewis was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, his own Counsel asked the panel to limit any fine on the ground that Lewis was impecunious, his only assets being his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Lewis was said not to own his own home, and even the car he drove was being paid for by the DWP scheme “Motability”.
The losing defendants, who were plainly misled by a cabal of their fellow-Jews, face losing their family homes. Wilson seems far more concerned about them than I would be in his place. Those Jews were after all (all of them, not just the hapless losing defendants) willing and eager to see Wilson and his family lose everything, including their home, so I say F*** them!
Wheels are in slow motion with the SRA. I suspect they’ll announce whether they are going to do anything, or give Lewis and Patron Law a clean bill of health, in the next few weeks.
Even if the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority does not, once again, put Lewis on professional “trial”, I imagine that his losing client or clients will very likely sue him in professional negligence to recover the monies (at least the costs monies) lost (apparently) by reason of Lewis’s poor advice. We shall see.
Those photos of Lewis must have been taken at least a decade ago. He is now scarcely able to get in and out of his wheelchair without assistance, as was seen recently after his latest scam (assisted by his now wife, Mandy Blumenthal) crashed and burned at the Edinburgh Fringe:

He’s superficially plausible though. And Patron Law’s website describes him as “The UK’s foremost media, libel and privacy lawyer Mark Lewis”. And he was willing to act on a no-win no-fee basis.
I think that I can claim to have been the first, or one of the first, to have seen through the Mark Lewis scam/hype/fraud. He was trying to have me disbarred and/or prosecuted since about 2012. Look at my blog posts about him (eg via the search box on the blog) for full details.
What’s strange is that Patron Law claim that Lewis is the “UK's foremost media, libel and privacy lawyer”.
I say Lewis’ advice and conduct in my case were terrible.
But neither Lewis nor Patron Law will defend what happened or threaten me with libel. Why? https://t.co/qDlGBKD0Jj
Lewis has never threatened me with a defamation suit either, though in my case my armour is, at least in part, my own impecuniosity.
No. I doubt the Defendants have the cash at bank or in hand to pay my costs.
They are also innocent parties in this disaster.
I do know that the firm of solicitors who provided the Defendants with terrible advice have the cash at bank and in hand to pay my costs though. pic.twitter.com/nzxN3M3JJE
Again, Wilson credits the losing defendants with far more than I would. They were guilty parties too, in my view. Surely Wilson does not also let the horrible Newbon (deceased) off the hook?
There must now be very serious concerns about the advice given by Mark Lewis to Pete Newbon before his tragic death.
My opinion is that Lewis’ conduct in my litigation was so poor, that Patron Law should suspend him pending an independent review of his files.@MLewisLawyer… https://t.co/qDlGBKD0Jj
I note that Lewis, once a prolific tweeter, and even quite recently a daily tweeter, and who famously was caught out having bought tens of thousands of fake Twitter “followers”— he still claims over 27,000 (at one time his fake “followers” numbered nearly 80,000), has not, as of today’s date, tweeted for a full three weeks. He must know that the game is up. I think that he will soon scuttle back to Eilat (Israel), if he has not done so already.
Talking point
"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." Marcus Tullius Cicero pic.twitter.com/T0tXPB6SXQ
Nigel Farage: “I don’t give a damn who the next Conservative leader is. The truth is the brand is bust. They’ve let the country down too many times. People have had enough” #Reform
I agree with Farage on that point, but he too has not been steadfast.
Farage and Reform UK are pro-Israel, pro the Jewish lobby, not social-national, and so not “the answer” Britain needs.
Also, Farage has made it plain that he bases his hostility to mass immigration not on race and culture, but solely on general mass culture and on whether the immigrants “integrate”. I disagree.
Having said that, people cannot vote or flock to the banners of a party or movement that does not exist. At present, there is no credible social-national movement or party in the UK, a situation which has been the case since at least 2010 (when the BNP was destroyed), or maybe the 1970s or, arguably, since the start of the disastrous war against the German Reich in 1939.
What we have now is a situation in which the “Conservative” Party has been binned (though unfortunately not totally), and in which a fake “Labour” Party has, by reason of a ridiculously unfair and illogical electoral system, achieved a fake “landslide” by default, a “landslide” in which only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (and 4 out of every 12 voting voters) voted Labour (and many even of those only because they wanted the “Con-men” and women binned.
Labour is already failing, and will achieve nothing in its projected 4-5 years up to 2029. However, the “Cons” are not a viable alternative, a fact underlined by the present uninspiring and mainly non-white leadership contest.
On that basis, Reform UK (which after all was voted for by over 4M voters, over 14% of the total) must be in with a good chance over the next 4-5 years.
Reform UK is not “the answer”, but it may be the start of an answer, or part of the answer, though the “Parliamentary road” is only one road.
Basically, 1,000+ people have now been arrested following the recent protests and connected minor “riots” (or violent outbreaks) here and there.
Many of those people have been charged, and many of those have been remanded in custody, meaning put into prison until trial (which might be as long as a year or more later, unless fast-tracked). Those who have pleaded guilty so far mostly seem to have been imprisoned anyway.
The fact is that many (probably almost all) of those imprisoned, either pending trial or after having pleaded guilty, are not in any way, even in the lay sense, “dangerous”. Many have no previous convictions, and even those who do (and the sentences of which have been reported after guilty pleas) have convictions mainly for non-violent offences (shoplifting, drugs etc).
What Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and (absurdly) Shabana Mahmood, have done is to release known and active criminals early (many non-white, and after they have completed only 40% of their sentences), in order to free up space which is now being used to incarcerate English people who are, almost all, not active criminals.
Those released early under that scheme will, many of them, re-offend within a fairly short space of time, whereas relatively few of those arrested in the aftermath of the recent protests will re-offend at all, ever, and certainly not in terms of violent disorder. That of course applies even more to those arrested/charged/imprisoned because they merely made comments, justified or otherwise, on social media.
It is beginning to look very much as though Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and the ridiculous Shabana Mahmood (currently posing as “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice) have no idea what they are doing. To me, their over-reaction to the recent minor disorders that took place (by English people— those done by Roma Gypsies in Leeds, and Pakistanis in Birmingham etc, have gone largely unpunished) seems much like that of the Queen of Hearts in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “Off with their heads!“
[“Off with their heads!“]
Incidentally, was there ever a “Lord Chancellor” and Justice Secretary less qualified? A moot point after some in recent years, I concede. However, Shabana Mahmood is an absurd choice for the role. She was only at the practising Bar for a few months, if that (after a year of pupillage), and then worked as a salaried gopher in a firm of solicitors, and only for a couple of years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career.
Shabana Mahmood’s entire legal career only lasted about 3-4 years.
She was probably appointed to placate the Pakistani Muslim element in the UK.
Pakistanis as such are now about 3% of the population; Muslims as a whole (many of which are also Pakistani but born in the UK) comprise 6% of the UK population now. Both anyway are significant voting blocs, and important in general political terms.
“Nearly early two weeks after its surprise incursion into Russia, Ukraine finds itself struggling to find a balance between seizing territory across the border in Kursk and losing it at the heart of the eastern front in central Donetsk.
On Friday, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, claimed advances were being made of up to two miles a day inside Russia, but Moscow’s forces have gained about three miles this month as the Kremlin bets heavily on capturing the hub of Pokrovsk.
In Pokrovsk, meanwhile, officials have stepped up civilian evacuations. Serhiy Dobryak, head of the city military administration, warned that Russian forces had “almost approached” the city and that alarm about its future was growing.
Until a year ago, Pokrovsk was considered safe enough to act as a regional base where journalists and aid workers could stay overnight. Its road and rail connections link the central city of Dnipro with Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Capturing it would in effect cut the part of Donetsk oblast still in Ukrainian hands in two.
There are persistent rumours that Col Emil Ishkulov, the popular commander of Ukraine’s 80th brigade, now among those involved in the incursion into Kursk, was removed from his position at the end of July because he was opposed to the incursion into Russia – unsure his unit had the strength for the task. At the time, soldiers from the unit issued an unsuccessful public appeal for him to be reinstated.
Sumy, which has a population of about 250,000, has remained busy and lively in the summer heat, though the noise of explosions from Russian glide bombs in the distance stepped up over last week. Its hospitals, though, have been filling up with frontline casualties, and an appeals for blood donations went out to help treat wounded soldiers a week ago. It took an hour for the need to be met.
The city has also received about 4,000 people fleeing the agricultural villages in the area towards the border in the north, many of whom plan to rent apartments.
In the border zone, six miles from the boundary, meanwhile, only a tiny handful of civilians and little functioning infrastructure remain. One shop with smashed windows was still selling groceries, but most places were boarded up. An aid agency, Global Empowerment Mission, supplies nearly 26,000 food rations every month because market supplies are absent, visiting frontline villages every week to distribute to the remaining population.“
[Guardian]
I recently examined this situation on the blog. My thoughts were that either Putin might push the incursion forces back using conventional military means, or blast the entire area from the air, destroying the Kiev-regime forces (as well as any unfortunate Russian and Ukrainian villagers still trying to live there).
Another possibility, less likely, would be a massive bombardment of either Kharkov or Kiev, using bombers and missiles.
Now, I have come to think that there is a fourth possibility, one which has roots in Russian and Soviet history.
When, as Tolstoy put it, in War and Peace, “the forces of Western Europe invaded Russia” in 1812 (the forces commanded by Napoleon were not all French, though about two-thirds were), the strategy adopted by the Russian leadership under Kutuzov, once he was appointed, was to withdraw and withdraw out of reach, while carrying out some limited flanking attacks and what we might now term “special operations”.
According to the preferred strategy, St. Petersburg, the capital, was protected both by troops and by distance, and so was never threatened by the Grande Armee. Moscow, however, was abandoned and set on fire.
Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow was famously disastrous, his armies all but destroyed by attritional flank attacks, cold, lack of food, and by disease.
Of the initial half million men, only about 100,000 made it back to France or other countries.
“On 24 June 1812 and subsequent days, the initial wave of the multinational Grande Armée crossed the Niemen River, marking the entry from the Duchy of Warsaw into Russia.
Employing extensive forced marches, Napoleon rapidly advanced his army of nearly half a million individuals through Western Russia, encompassing present-day Belarus, in a bid to dismantle the disparate Russian forces led by Barclay de Tolly and Pyotr Bagration totaling approximately 180,000–220,000 soldiers at that juncture.[21][22]
Despite losing half of his men within six weeks due to extreme weather conditions, diseases and scarcity of provisions, Napoleon emerged victorious in the Battle of Smolensk. However, the Russian Army, now commanded by Mikhail Kutuzov, opted for a strategic retreat, employing attrition warfare against Napoleon compelling the invaders to rely on an inadequate supply system, incapable of sustaining their vast army in the field.“
[Wikipedia]
In the German invasion and war of 1941-1945, the Wehrmacht advanced to within sight of central Moscow, but were then held and pushed back. Stalin was unwilling to abandon Moscow, the capital, for reasons of morale and administration.
However, elsewhere in European Russia, the Stavka (high command) allowed the Germans to advance and advance into the apparently limitless space (prostor, in the Russian word), as the German supply lines became elongated and eventually unable to supply enough food and ammunition; this came to a head particularly during the battle for Stalingrad.
Reverting to the Kursk situation in 2024, it can be seen that the operation was designed by Zelensky, against the advice of some of his commanders, as a public relations exercise. The suppliers of arms and vast amounts of Western taxpayers’ money had to be shown that the Kiev-regime forces were not beaten. Those forces achieved surprise, and, at first, considerable success.
The Kiev-regime forces were advancing several miles a day in that Kursk border region, but have probably now almost stopped.
Russian forces far to the south, in the Donbass, are advancing 1-3 miles a day, apparently. The Kiev-regime forces are outmannned and outgunned there, a situation made worse by the use of some experienced Ukrainian troops for the Kursk incursion.
What Putin could do (though it might be politically difficult) would be to do little but just about hold the line in the Kursk region, or even fall back on Kursk city (about 30-40 miles from the present front-line), while pounding the Kiev-regime supply lines and rear echelon areas. The Kiev regime forces do not have the manpower or ammunition etc to advance endlessly. Their tide may already have reached its fullest extent.
In other words, Putin could almost let those Kiev-regime forces in the Kursk region “die on the vine”, in MacArthur’s memorable phrase.
Once those Kiev regime forces are stuck in the Kursk region, or have retreated, or are destroyed, those forces will not be able to be deployed, or re-deployed, on the Donbass front. Even now, it looks as though Russian forces will soon split the Kiev-regime forces there into two. Once that results in further crumbling of the front, startling Russian advances may be seen, either in the next few months or next summer. All of Eastern Ukraine may fall to Russian forces in 2025.

The Notting Hill Carnival should never have been allowed in the first place, and should be terminated now but will not be, because the Government is afraid of weeks of rioting and looting by blacks if such a step were to be taken.
I attended that carnival once, out of curiosity. In the early or mid 1980s. Absolutely ghastly. Intolerable noise, mostly from horrible amplified “music”. Intolerable crowds. Also, no way of getting out without walking miles. In the end, I walked all the way back to Little Venice.

So it seems that the “poor and victimized” Jewish couple, supposedly targeted by an American black comedian, then booed out of an Edinburgh Fringe comedy show by the irritated audience, were none other than Mark Lewis, the egregious self-promoting solicitor, and his wife/partner/carer Mandy Blumenthal. They made a big fuss about emigrating to Israel six years ago. They said that Britain was too “antisemitic” for them to remain here, and so were, in effect, getting out while they could.
A pack of lies. They spend quite a bit of time here, and do not seem to feel any obligation to stay and help Israel in its hour of need.
If those tweets by Reginald D. Hunter are true (accurate), that puts another complexion on the “victimized Jewish couple” story as first published and broadcast recently.
First of all, one has to ask why Lewis and his companion went to such a show in the first place, if the comedian, one Reginald D. Hunter, is known for being “antisemitic” (I have to admit that I had never heard of him at all).
What was their motive even for going there if they were aware of the comedian’s expressed views?
It will be remembered by some that Mandy Blumenthal deliberately tried to book passage, quite many years ago, on a Middle Eastern airline operating out of Heathrow, and made it known that she was Jewish (perhaps using her Israeli passport rather than her UK one). Once refused by the airline, a “typical” fuss was made, both at the airport and in the (((Press))), and the airline quickly stumped up, apparently, quite a few thousand pounds by way of “compensation” (to shut her up).
Is this yet another cynical way to get money, this time out of the comedian, the promoter or the theatre? Was the whole thing contrived in advance, like that airline scam, or not? We do not know, and can only try to draw logical conclusions from what we know.
Reading about what the comedian said on stage, it seems that he recognized the “anonymous” Jewish couple of the Press stories, and that that is why he said that he had been “waiting” for Lewis, assuming that it was Lewis, to turn up:
That’s even before one considers the way in which he treated his ex-wife, one-time low-level TV face, and radio voice (now washed-up and over the hill), Caroline Feraday. I have little time for her anyway, so let’s leave that aside for now (she joined with Lewis in abusing me very unpleasantly on Twitter, about 12 years ago, so she deserved to suffer once she married him, in my view).
Sabrina Miller, when a vociferous Jewish girl student at Bristol, found time to defend Jewish-lobby-puppet and then-MP, Ian Austin, who had tweeted that bestiality pornography and other similar material should be decriminalized. Now she is a “journalist” with the Daily Mail.
The Mail might not have the best reputation, but it really should draw the line at contrived “stories” such as this Edinburgh Fringe scam.
Looks to me as though the audience recognized Lewis specifically, and were loudly disapproving for that reason.
As for the comedian, the promoter (if any), and the theatre, they should resist any contrived legal claim that “any” ambulance-chaser might make…
This all makes me feel that “a certain person” was right (about “them”)…
And as you probably know, Sabrina Miller has form: see her role in trying to smear @Tracking_Power (David Miller – no relation) as an antisemite when he was working at Bristol University (claims which were destroyed in court).
There’s an air of unreality to prosecutions designed to nip unrest in the bud by handing down disproportionate sentences. English law, honed over centuries to match punishment to evidence, is misfiring. Many defendants have pled guilty without trial. Cases need testing by juries. https://t.co/ykuP6ExHuX
What does Starmer think those imprisoned protesters, tweeters, Facebook posters feel about the UK government of traitors now? Happy? Angry? Determined?
"More than 1,000 people have been arrested, with almost 600 charged so far. Some of those charged have been children, including two 12-year-old boys, a 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy."
God help John Betjeman, were he still alive. “Come, friendly German bombers, and drop your bombs on Slough“… he would probably be arrested by the “Anti-Terror Command” or other poundshop UK Stasi police, and/or imprisoned for years.
Misleading headline. She’s talking about the dangers of deifying the NHS.
Also look at this nuts analysis from Sky’s Health correspondent. “The health service is our most cherished institution. Very few people would dare to attack it.”
Almost anything now published or spoken by msm scribblers and talking heads can be discounted. If they ever cross the line into uncomfortable and “unapproved” reality, they soon lose those lucrative jobs— and they know it.

As I blogged a week or so ago, Starmer, the “file-clerk given power unexpectedly”, has retreated into his “legal people” comfort zone, and (despite the sycophantic tweets of many of the usual pro-Labour Twitter-twits) has shown himself not a proper person to be Prime Minister.

A 60-y-o man imprisoned for 2 years and 8 months for merely pushing a policeman to the ground. True, he should not have done it, but (as with almost all of the recent reactive sentences following the protests) this seems highly excessive.
I hope that he appeals on sentence. 40% of 2 yrs 8 months is about 13 months. If he can get the sentence reduced to 20 months, he might be out in 8 months. Still pretty stiff. A suitable sentence might have been either a “suspended” or maybe 5 months, allowing for his release in 2 months.

“One of the most dangerous trends of our times”, said American writer Thomas Sowell, “is making the truth socially unacceptable, or even illegal, with ‘hate speech’ laws”. And this is exactly what is taking place in Britain.“
“What all this reflects is a wider point about the political left; in the end, as history shows, it will always sacrifice free speech and free expression on the altar of “social justice”. This is what we see in the online ramblings of people like Paul Mason, Oliver Kamm, Jessica Simor, and Edward Luce, all of whom have called for the shutdown of social media platforms, alternative television channels, and, ultimately, conversation among concerned citizens.“
I have already blogged occasionally about Paul Mason and Jessica Simor, as well as Oliver Kamm (all partly-Jewish, by the way); the last-named has an honoured place in my 2019 blog post They’re Coming to Take Me Away, ha ha! which (updated to quite recently) examines the linkages between mental illness, the self-describing “Left”, and Zionists (both Jews and non-Jews): see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.

FORMER US AMBASSADOR IN MOSCOW: CONFLICT IN UKRAINE WILL NOT END WITH PUTIN’S CAPITOLATION
FORMER ambassador of the United States in Moscow, John Sullivan, assessed that the future of the Ukrainian state is pessimistic.
The conflict in Ukraine will not end “with the capitulation of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Sullivan said in an interview with Foreign Policy. He admitted that he is pessimistic about the future of Ukraine: “The two sides do not want to negotiate, which could lead to a stalemate, and that is the best the West can hope for in the foreseeable future.”
Previously, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that Ukraine does not have enough soldiers to continue the conflict.“
The Pentagon is pessimistic about its ability to confront Russia, China and North Korea in a nuclear war, according to The Economist pic.twitter.com/4wckS3be10
A nuclear war would of course be terrible for all participants, and even those states not part of the conflict as active players.
Having said that, I feel that China and Russia would just about survive as peoples, probably, even if the states themselves were to implode. The USA is, relatively, more highly-centralized, more dependent on technology, more likely to fall into anarchy (meaning chaos).
If the top 100 population centres in the USA ceased to exist, the USA as a functioning entity would cease to exist.

Not someone in whom I take a great interest, and I only knew of her existence from a relatively few years ago, as far as I can recall. However, she (meaning her life) seems to me to personify certain aspects of what is wrong with this country.
The odd life and downward progress of Katie Price also somewhat reminds me of a far more literate, though I think not very nice person, Jeffrey Bernard, who was once described as “having made a career from writing about dying from cirrhosis“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Bernard.
Bernard’s Spectator column could be, sometimes, brilliantly funny. More often, it was simply absent, with what became the standard apologia, “Jeffrey Bernard is unwell“, below a substituted piece by someone else.
Incidentally, I once had a copy of the book about him, Just the One (referring to his habit of saying —usually inaccurately— that he had popped into a pub for one drink only). Really funny, though sad too in places.
It becomes ever more obvious that nothing much works properly in the UK, from the prison service to the NHS to the legal system to…well, you name it.

It all raises questions for policing but also for the mainstream media, political elites and "stakeholders". How many girls might have been saved if this 2004 exposé of grooming gangs hadn't been deliberately ignored due to "far-right"? 👇 #TwoTierBritainhttps://t.co/mEWQry0LnA
Look at recent Sky News and BBC News coverage. Almost like TV news in the old Soviet Union or DDR (East Germany).
“Shadows on the wall of the cave”…
During the Harehills riots the lady offered the police tea & ice lollies. She was then arrested for saying 16 years of immigration had ruined the area.
She describes the dehumanisation of her overnight custody.
As in Stalin’s Soviet Union— people arrested who are genuinely puzzled as to why, saying “why am I here?“, or “I haven’t done anything“, or “what have I done?“
To combat this, retweet the crap out of everything, flood the playing field, make the job of the the thought police an impossible game of whack a mole.
That little Director of Public Prosecutions bastard is a typical police-state drone bureaucrat.
Beyond Orwellian. Simply astonishing. I respect open dictatorships a lot more than the "caress" dictatorships that we now see throughout the West. The former own their autocratic reflex; the latter gang rape you whilst whispering sweet-nothings in your ear. https://t.co/B41WBEmtfc

Incidentally, many will know of that Basu bastard (now only a former policeman), who is sometimes quoted on TV or in the lying Press as an “expert” on “extremism”, “terrorism” etc, and who, risibly, was apparently the UK’s chief of (police) counter-intelligence. He is often spouting nonsense about how almost everything “far right” etc must be repressed. Another supporter of the upcoming (unless stopped) multikulti “woke” police state.
See also my piece from about 6 years ago about the tendency to a police state in the UK, that even then was coming out into the open:
Quite. Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Of the 12 that did, 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green.
The regime of “two-tier Keir” has no legitimacy, no mandate. If the courts and general legal and justice system are not exercizing their proper independence, but are simply obeying the purported diktats of “two-tier Keir” and that bureaucrat-drone who seems to be the new Director of Public Prosecutions, then the courts themselves have no legitimacy.
Good grief. One of the most disturbing things I have ever heard from an MP. Wes Streeting actually detailing how he would push a leading journalist under a train. Was there ever a police investigation? @EssexPoliceUKhttps://t.co/ja8pbvO5Tn
Were I to argue that Wes Streeting (or Starmer, or Yvette Cooper, or other Labour Friends of Israel puppets) should be pushed in front of a train, the police would be (boringly) yet again at my door, no doubt, but once again it is that “two tier” policing…
[Update, 10 August 2024: looks like Allison Pearson may have been prevailed upon to delete her tweet].
As I wonder how many people charged and sentenced by the courts could appeal against their convictions based on what the likes of Streeting, McDonald, Rayner, Philips etc have said…
Starmer has left himself open to challenges to these…
“Two-tier Keir” Starmer is certainly confirming my view of him prior to the recent General Election, ie that he is akin to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov in his memoirs, “a file clerk type; people like that are dangerous if given power.“

“I can’t stomach these MPs gloating about incredibly young men being locked” up for years
These are lads who feel utterly powerless and disenfranchised, raised in a system that’s taught them they have nothing and can never accumulate anything.
During the Black Lives Matter protests, left-wing commentators argued that protest, vandalism, and even violence were necessary to highlight injustice. I disagreed then, and I do now, but where are those voices today?
There IS an obvious injustice: the British working class has been maligned, slandered, ignored, fobbed off, and lied to for a generation. They can’t buy a house, their kids are in overcrowded classrooms, and they watch as illegal migrants get private accommodation for free. How is that not something to be angry about?
Our political class prioritizes everyone else’s interests over theirs. These politicians are clueless about the real struggles these young men face.
Abandoned, left to fend for themselves, and when they finally lash out, we throw away the key. It’s disgraceful. Instead of addressing the root causes of their anger, they fan the flames, and believe me, they’re not alone in their fury.“
Looking at Diana Johnson’s biographical details for the first time, I notice that she was a salaried barrister 1999-2005 at Paddington Law Centre (West London), where I myself did about half a dozen (unpaid) evening sessions in 1993.

Don’t forget it was Starmer who got the law through that gives migrants the benefits they get here. He did that just before Blair opened the doors and went to war with Iraq. I don’t think he sees the connection or the fear. He’s reverting to being an official and ‘using the law’
“Starmer, and his mob of Islington lawyers, just don’t get it. His very political speech , surrounded by Union flags, deliberately misses the point. He doesn’t understand that away from his protected world, ordinary people associate the murder of innocent children with the arrival of illegal migrants. There is fear on the streets and he’s waffling on about online crackdowns or getting police forces to talk to each other. Neither will solve the problem. Stopping the boats will. The reality is I’m not sure he wants to.“

Talking point
[Dave Brown/The Independent]
As the ordure hits the fan, the System (and its cartoonists etc, the cartoon above being from the now online-only Independent) are loudly shouting that the disorder just below the surface in the UK’s cities, and breaking surface fairly often, is not because of factors such as —and most importantly— the invasion of this country by tens of millions of blacks and browns (etc), but by the people appalled at what has happened, what is happening, and what is plainly going to happen not very far in the future.
The System mouthpieces blame, for that disorder, not the underlying causes, and certainly not the treacherous “political class” at Westminster (which deliberately contrived the migration-invasion), but Farage, Reform UK, “Tommy Robinson”, other and various nationalist or social-national Prominente, and even bloggers and truth-tellers such as me.
Incidentally, I was just looking at a few more examples of that cartoonist’s work; liked this one:

It seemed unlikely the evidence was true, so – like the judge in Lewis’ Davidoff case – I checked.
The Land Registry info showed Lewis’ evidence was false and he made another statement apologising to the court.
That’s twice in a year that Lewis has provided untrue evidence to the High Court and it has only been picked up by careful online research.”
[James Wilson].
It seems to me that Lewis is going to find himself sued in professional negligence soon, if he has not already been. My prediction is that he will scuttle back to Israel screeching about “antisemitism” in the UK. He will (probably) be safe from legal action there (though that is, I admit, a guess on my part), and will leave the small Jewish law firm in West London, which is his foothold in the English jurisdiction, to pick up any bill. Another guess on my part, but I expect that to be the way things develop.
It would be rather unfair were Lewis to scream about “antisemitism”. After all, not only have “British” (albeit “occupied”) mass media outlets (Daily Mail etc) been puffing Lewis, quite inaccurately, and for years, as a supposed hot-shot lawyer, but when Lewis was found guilty before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (just before he officially emigrated to Israel), his own Counsel begged the Tribunal not to fine Lewis heavily, because he lived in a rented apartment, and because his only assets were his [extremely vulgar] clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was being provided to him free of charge by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the Motability scheme run for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
“A former counter-terrorism police chief has accused Nigel Farage of helping incite violence that broke out in Southport after the killing of three children in a knife attack this week.

Neil Basu – a former senior Scotland Yard officer who was in charge of counter-terrorism from 2018 to 2021 – said there were “real world consequences” when public figures failed to “keep their mouth shut”

Well, there it is. Mixed-race ex-“anti-terror” cop Basu [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Basu] proclaims that people should not be allowed to speak on socio-politically contentious issue or events, but should “keep their mouths shut“. There speaks the true voice of “woke” System totalitarianism.
Why should British people “shut up” just because types like Basu disagree with what they are saying?
Even more egregious, Farage was merely asking pointed questions.
More egregious yet, Farage is actually an MP, and leader of both a bloc of MPs and a party for which 2 out of every 12 voters (who voted) voted at GE 2024 (Con 3 out of 12, Lab 4 out of 12).
If enemies of freedom like Basu demand that even elected MPs and party leaders “keep their mouths shut“, what little freedom would the bastards allow to “ordinary citizens”?
Incidentally, Basu has never been elected to anything, has no degree or equivalent (as far as I know), has never written a book or anything else of note (as far as I know), and even the police were glad when he took early retirement, it seems.
Where is Basu’s locus standi, really?
This is the way things are going in the UK.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.
Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.
That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

Is comment even necessary?
This country is so screwed it is actually almost unbelievable. Not only because of migration invasion, but that, together with a “multicultural” population, is the cause of much of the overall problem.
Starmer-Labour will not “fix” the problems of the UK. Au contraire—Labour’s fake “landslide” regime will worsen them. Starmer-Labour is wedded to “diversity”, “anti-racism” (except against white English people) etc.
“Germany plans to halve its military aid to Ukraine in 2025, to €4bn, despite concerns over continued US support, according to a draft budget seen by Reuters. Instead the German government hopes Ukraine will be able to meet the bulk of its military needs with $50bn in loans from proceeds of frozen Russian assets approved by the G7, and that funds earmarked for armaments will not be fully used.”
There is no “Ukraine” as such now, just the Kiev regime, which can either be regarded as a “failed state” or a non-state.
Since 1997 over 12million immigrants have entered Britain. 80% remain dependent on Welfare. Total cost is £50k per person pa. This is a staggering amount of money. Close to £500billion. It's destroying our economy.

“A single mother-of-two, who framed an innocent woman when she drove a pick-up truck and towed a trailer illegally, has dodged jail after revealing her personal woes.
Juliann Quilligan, 27, from Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire falsely told police her name was Rebecca Williams when she was pulled over for illegally towing a trailer on the M62.
The mother was driving her Mitsubishi L200 without being insured and kept quiet as police added eight points to the unaware woman’s licence.
She argued that she became ‘panicked’ and ‘frightened’ when dealing with police due to mental health issues exacerbated by her estrangement from the travelling community which she fled in 2019 so her children could go to school.
The victim – Miss Williams – only discovered she had been wrongly convicted in her absence when she attempted to renew the insurance policy on her own car.“
[Daily Mail]
Egregious. Also, leaving aside the sheer injustice of it all, note the absence of proper journalism and sub-editing of that report. “Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire“, writes the Daily Mail scribbler, one Shannon McGuigan, when surely a “journalist” should know that Skelmersdale is in Lancashire…
Again, the Daily Mail report is really quite poorly-written, something which is now almost the norm in most newspapers.
Proper journalism is another thing that has just faded away and died in the UK.

“Immigration laws, said Thomas Sowell, are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them.

MATT GOODWIN: "It's already obvious the new Labour government has no serious plan for (or even interest in) curtailing immigration". Latest in the Mailhttps://t.co/Z182zHTRKb
This is spot on. You can have available & affordable housing for our young people & British families. Or you can have an immigration-fuelled population explosion.
The backlash from the people has grown, in the UK, in Ireland, and also across mainland Europe. In the UK, it drove the upsurge of voters for the actually rather mild Reform UK at the General Election of 2024 (over 4 million voters voted Reform UK. The Conservative Party only had about 6 million voters, and victorious Labour about 9 million).
The Conservative Party was dumped mainly because of both the invasion itself and also its down-the-line consequences, though sheer incompetence generally was also a major factor.

After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.
I just landed and missed an assignation attempt. Holy shit. What a bad ass reaction from Trump. The election is over. He's the next president. The Dems should give up. They can't beat him now. pic.twitter.com/omtbue191d
This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.
Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.
Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?
Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.
Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.
Farage
I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

Well, 7/10 this week, thus beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, and 10, though I was at least in the right area re. question 7.
That idea, that the online pseudo-political “grifters” (“Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly”, Julia Grace Patterson etc) will have to nuance their begging appeals now that the hated “Tories” have switched places with the supposedly better but actually quite similar (in policy terms) Starmer-Labour, had occurred to me.
I doubt that the online fraudsters need to worry too much, though. Their target audience is almost begging to be cheated, and will accept as true almost any variation in the “facts” put forward. You only have to look at the lies of “Jack Monroe” over the years. Stunningly unbelievable. Like something from a book of fairy stories. Yet the “useful idiots” believe…and continue to send money to her.
NEW POST: The Tory Elite Class is in CLOUD CUCKOO LAND. They need to wake up and smell the coffeehttps://t.co/tnTPO0GwyI
There is a belief around that “mainstream” political parties must aim to be in the non-existent or notional “centre”.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I effectively never use the descriptors “right”, “left”, “centre” etc in that way.
What matters is policy, and what matters to the people is the overall effect of policy on their lives. The Conservative Party failed the people in terms of how their confused policy offering actually affected or changed, or failed to change, the lives and lifestyles of the people. Labour is about to follow suit, in my opinion.
Not that Churchill himself wanted to finish off the British Empire. He wanted, in an ideal world, to destroy National Socialist Germany and, at the same time, the Soviet Union.
Churchill’s strategic ineptitude (seen in numerous examples throughout his career) led not only to the destruction of the German Reich, followed by the division of mainland Europe into a Stalinist sector in the East, and a basically American, or notionally Anglo-American, sector in the West, but also to the destruction of all the European empires, and thus their generally civilizing influence over Asia, Africa (including North Africa) etc
The same basic division in Europe (though into 4 national sectors) was carried out in much of Germany and Austria for several years after WW2, with the capital cities (Berlin and Vienna) likewise divided.
Vienna was divided until 1955, Berlin until 1989, and France was, as a notional Western ally, given one sector despite having been defeated in 1940, partly occupied the same year, and fully-occupied in November 1942 (and having not participated in the defeat of the German Reich).
The end of WW2 led directly to the collapse of European rule across the world. The colonies of Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands etc were decolonized, some almost immediately, some much later. Thus began the environmental degradation and loss of wildlife across Asia, Africa, the Pacific etc, which situation continues even today, as do the wars, civil wars, corruptions and tyrannies of the formerly colonial territories.
Churchill, an educated and erudite man who was also completely wrong in his political judgment(s) was, so to speak, “the wrong man at the wrong time”, though the accepted System/msm narrative says the opposite, of course.
As Barnett points out in one or two of those books, after WW2 Britain would have been able to do one of three things well, possibly even two of those things: maintain its status as a great power; regenerate its economy; create a Welfare State. Britain tried to accomplish all three, but was unable to do so satisfactorily. Britain had been beggared by its war against the German Reich.
These three aims or tasks (or problems) are still with us, in some or another form, today.
Britain today is the “also ran” in respect of its military power, its society (Welfare State, NHS, State education etc), and economy.
As far as Barnett is concerned, I should say that he was right far more often than he was wrong.
Incidentally, Barnett was probably denied a knighthood, a life peerage, and other official honours (he did get a CBE) by reason of his having spoken, or strongly implied, the unsayable— that Britain should never have declared war on the German Reich or, having declared war in September 1939, should have concluded an armistice sometime after Dunkirk, in mid to late 1940, before too much hurt and damage had been done in western and central Europe.
Reform UK
"The blunt reality is that more 2019 Conservatives switched to Reform than the number who switched to Labour and the Liberal Democrats combined. Nigel Farage is the primary threat to the Conservative Party"https://t.co/OVSRT4eNro
"the Tory elite class have never understood where the real centre in British politics lies, or if they have known then they’ve considered it too grubby, too parochial, too insular, too working-class, too low-status for high-status elites like them"https://t.co/OVSRT4eNro
"Farage is very quickly building a serious & sustainable electorate —socially distinctive, geographically efficient, culturally coherent, conservative in outlook, and very hacked off with the Tory elite class"https://t.co/OVSRT4eNro
Reform UK’s vote suffers from being wide, indeed nationwide (though not so strong in Scotland), but shallow. 14.29% across the board could easily have meant zero seats anywhere, rather than the 5 Reform actually captured.
The LibDem vote, only 12.22% nationally, was nonetheless concentrated here and there. Result— 72 MPs.
In the East of England, Reform UK scored 17.5% of the vote; in the East Midlands, 18.9%.
Indeed, though Reform won no GE 2024 seats in the West Midlands or North-East England, its vote was still high— 18.1% in the former, and 19.9% in the latter (less than half a point behind the Conservative Party). Reform was also not very far behind the Conservative Party in the West Midlands.
Reform UK came second in 98 constituencies, of which 89 were won or held by Labour.
It is not impossible to surmise that, if the Conservative Party vote were to collapse further in those 98 seats, Reform UK might capture some, many, or even all of them.
That would be even more likely, arguende, if Starmer-Labour in government disappoints the mass of the people, as I believe it will.

“They’re carrying on like a cross between Pravda and Smash Hits.”
I am glad that I am not alone in having noticed the sickening sycophancy of the “occupied” UK msm towards Starmer-Labour (though would anyway be unconcerned were I the only one).
Today, on Sky News, I caught literally seconds of the end of a piece by some sports journalist woman. Her take was that, with “England” in the final game of some football contest, and a new Labour (New Labour?) government in power, it feels (she claimed) like the dawning of a new era. I believe that was the brainless and derivative way in which she put it.
Of course, Starmer-Labour will probably be in power until 2029, so the msm drones naturally want to curry favour, but I think that the said sycophancy goes beyond even that. I think that many in the msm seriously believe that Starmer-Labour is wonderful and will bring about some minor “golden age”.
I see no real connected thinking in the msm about what happens when the UK is importing literally a million invaders every single year, about what happens when a Labour government is harder on workers, the unemployed, the sick, the disabled than has been the past 14 years of “Conservative” government (etc).
What happens when the lights go out? What happens when lawlessness finally overwhelms a fairly civilized court and legal system which evolved over long periods but which is now already swamped?
Also, with a deadhead like Lammy as Foreign Secretary, what happens to Britain’s already-tattered international standing?
What interests me is what will be happening 2025-2029 under the surface of the Labour Party pseudo-landslide Commons majority.
“Labourites have exposed their arrogance by declaring an ‘end’ to the culture war. What they really mean is that they’re in the driving seat now. That they will accelerate woke, whether we like it or not.”

Pro-migration-invasion “@zoejardiniere” (Zoe Gardner) with her usual pro-mass migration nonsense.
The 100,000 figure refers to invaders (often “illegals”) who are in the UK without having been granted leave to remain.
Still, her tweet featuring the Daily Telegraph story does confirm what I have repeatedly said on the blog would be the Labour policy: “stop the boats” by allowing almost all “asylum” applicants to stay. Those already on UK territory to be “processed” (rubberstamped) and allowed to stay (and so to work, and/or —more likely— claim benefits, apply for social housing, get a State Pension eventually etc). Those in France or elsewhere to be “processed” (rubberstamped) there, with 95% allowed to come to the UK.
This is the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan in action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. Of course, it will mean social and economic disaster not far down the line. Political upheaval too.
There is also the point that the “small boats” invasion is but 5% of the total of all migration to the UK. We are talking about a million, give or take, every year. Even if you use the “net migration” figure, meaning excluding those leaving every year (most of them Brits desperately emigrating to Australasia etc), we are still talking about well over half a million a year, maybe three quarters of a million, in bald numbers.
Zoe Gardner talks about “rebuilding lives”, but what is really happening is that lives, British lives, are being destroyed via mass immigration: impossibility of house purchase for most, impossibility even of renting properties without having to share with strangers or wasting most of a person’s pay on rent; crowded railways and roads; crowded State schools; ever-declining health services; a society in which real British people have to share space and life with persons of totally different race and culture.
Of course, those promoting all of that, whether “@ZoeJardiniere” or Yvette Cooper, will not themselves be subject to such cheapening of their lives. They, most of such pro-migration people, live far from those alien madding crowds.

NEW POST. This is the ONE issue that will derail the new Labour government. How the public mood on one big issue is starting to movehttps://t.co/1Z4tNem2r8
“Starmer’s spokesman, too, has already indicated the Labour government will allow more than 100,000 illegal migrants who are already in the country to apply for asylum, thereby, in my view, creating a huge incentive for many more to come.
Labour’s new Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, who just watched Nigel Farage’s Reform party finish second in her own northern seat, has also refused to say the Labour government is committed to Rishi Sunak’s pledge to “stop the boats”.
And the Labour government is already pressing ahead with its proposed ‘solution’ to the illegal migration crisis by establishing a ‘new UK Border Security Command’ to ‘tackle the gangs’ —a move which for reasons I’ve already outlined (see here and here) is unlikely to stop the gangs or the small boat invasion at all. In fact, I’ve yet to meet a single expert who thinks Labour’s plan on illegal migration will work.“
[Matt Goodwin]
"The man tipped to be in charge of stopping the small boats has said he is "proud to be woke", compared Suella Braverman to Enoch Powell, praised Black Lives Matter & openly opposed a ‘No Deal’ Brexit. Is this the man to restore trust?"https://t.co/1Z4tNem2r8
“Furthermore, the very man tipped to be appointed by Labour to tackle the small boats, Neil Basu, has previously said he is “proud to be woke”, compared Suella Braverman to Enoch Powell, has suggested diversity and inclusion are the most important things in policing, spoken positively about the revolutionary group Black Lives Matter (BLM), and openly opposed a ‘No Deal’ Brexit.“
[Matt Goodwin]
Neil Basu was one of the most senior policeman, and was always shouting about the “danger” from the so-called “far right” (despite migration invasion happening all around him); he seems, all of the time, to have supported the interests of the non-white population as against those of the real British people. That was certainly my perception.
