Diary Blog, 17 December 2025, with a few thoughts about the Bondi Beach attack and the UK state response

Afternoon music

Stray thought

I notice that both the Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police have made a joint statement about the Bondi Beach attack, which statement has been treated as major news by BBC News, Sky News etc.

Why?

This was an attack by two individuals, and on the other side of the world.

Seems to be a further weaponization of the Bondi Beach attack, with the aim of further eroding free speech in the UK. The beneficiaries are supposed to be the Jews, Israel, and the agencies of the UK state.

This comes only a day or so after the proposals, by the ludicrous Lammy and the Starmer-stein Labour Friends of Israel government, for police-state repression of free speech in relation to Islam and Muslims.

The weaponization of the Bondi Beach attack is becoming very obvious to anyone not asleep.

Meanwhile, the [Israeli] Jews continue their slaughter and repression of the unfortunate Arab Palestinians in Gaza, with little interest now shown by the news media in the UK.

Talking point

A tweet from many years ago, and from my one-time Twitter account (which was closed down at the instigation of a pack of Zionist Jews in 2018).

In a “free society”, it is absurd; in a repressive police state, into which the UK is fast changing, par for the course.

cf. the recent case of David Morgan.

I know the kind of people who become judges in this country. Most are not fit to judge these sorts of cases, by reason of their entrenched multikulti views.

Reading the Daily Mail report, I get the impression (from the very brief extract, so I am guessing a little) that Yarwood’s Counsel did not exactly pull out all the stops in his concluding address to the trial judge.

I agree with that. I think I blogged once before about the rather nice (though also rather spoiled) young blonde (aged about 20) whom I met about 25 years ago, and whose father (whom she mentioned rather a lot) was the Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster University; she told that me his salary was (I forget the exact amount) in the hundreds of thousands of pounds a year (even then, in 2000). Pretty ridiculous.

The steady, though slow, advance of Russian armour and infantry continues in Eastern Ukraine.

[“Dan is an absolutely classic example of the retards who form the modern Left and currently run the country, the path is so well trodden that you’ll instantly recognise it: Born (1992) School PPE at Oxbridge (natch) Civil service role (HMT in this case) Local councillor (classic) Think tank role (Resolution Foundation) Think tank role (Joseph Rowntree Foundation) MP Cabinet minister (ffs) He’s 33, and has never worked in a real job. That should disqualify him from having any ministerial role on its own. Instead, he’s been totally coddled within the lifelong safety of public sector and left leaning think tank / NGO type roles, that have prepared him for the mind bendingly retarded policies he now either helps formulate or defends. You should have 30 years+ market experience before you even think about a senior role in HMT or advising the Exchequer. This is why the country is so utterly fucked. We have for at least ~3 decades now had an army of Dan’s running the major apparatus of state. They all float effortlessly between “think tanks” and other policy making and paid writing gigs without ever seeing a tax they didn’t like or a “rich person” they didn’t need to pay more tax. They drive the enshittification of the country through their complete lack of understanding on anything and a totally misguided sense of righteousness and ideology. Terminally linear in thought, they lack the mental acuity or ability to create value or yield in any way, common sense eludes them entirely, they can barely understand the first order consequences of their actions, let alone the second and third. The system attracts and retains the very least suited people in the country to making big economic decisions because anyone with any talent heads directly into the private sector. The system by default selects for retards, and they fail upward because the public sector, without the brutal feedback loops of the private sector, rewards survival over success. The compound effect of this is an embedded pseudo intelligentsia of “Intellectual Yet Idiots” on a never ending carousel of different ministerial roles. They are allowed 1-3 years of experience in one department and by the time they start to grasp the basics they are scurried along to the next department; “ok now you’ve got the basics of agriculture fancy having a go as defence minister?” Until we remove these Fabian saboteurs from the civil service, judiciary, NGOs, think tanks and other governmental and policy forming bodies, things will only get worse in the UK. It’s as guaranteed as their jobs despite abject performance.“]

I notice that he worked for the Treasury straight out of university, but for only a short time, apparently less than a year. NBG (No Bloody Good)?

That was another piece of anti-white, anti-European fake “history”, just like Cheddar Man and other examples, and the Mary Beard “the Romans in Britain may have been, some of them, black“, and similar rubbish, all designed to create socio-political propaganda about contemporary Britain as well.

Historical note

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/05/peering-into-the-eyes-of-the-past-reconstruction-reveals-face-of-woman-who-lived-before-trojan-war

She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.

[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]

The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.

Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.

“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.

“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”

A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.

[The Guardian]

…and, surprise surprise, she was not black, not even brown…

Remember the “woke” fakery around “Cheddar Man” a decade ago, and the (later disproven) claim that he was (and so ancient Britons generally were) of “black” race? Or the assertions by Mary Beard and others that some of the Roman soldiers in Britain were “black”?

At least no-one has tried to impose more such ideologically-driven fakery on this new material.

European cultures, and civilization— the product of the white man (and woman).

Interesting, nicht wahr?

Israel is doomed.

The “unwanted truth”. The Twitter-twits and similar people will close their ears. They want to believe that mass immigration has nothing at all to do with the housing crisis, or low pay, restricted State benefits, crowded schools, hospitals, trains etc, even water shortages.

They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.

As Hitler said of the people of the Weimar Republic, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.

[The “4 million immigrants” (since 1997) of several years ago are now nearly 7 million, or more]

“Terrible news for Ukraine” – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of “America First,” writes The Guardian.

This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. “It’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,” said one senior European diplomat in Washington. “Vance is not our ally.”

Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.

Last week I made the decision to cancel my Conservative Party membership after nearly a decade. The party has failed to set out a positive vision on housing, the environment and investment, as well as a pragmatic stance on Brexit. It has also drifted from the values of inclusivity and aspiration which drew me to the party under Lord Cameron. This isn’t me leaving the Conservative party, it’s the Conservative party that has left me. Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

Once again, I refer readers to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov, namely that the “filing clerk” type should never be given power. That’s Starmer, in essence, a would-be dictator but in the guise of a careful, over-controlled lawyer.
