“Statues of historical ‘old white men’ such as Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington could be removed from public view in Wales in order to ‘set right the historical narrative’ and prevent offence to a ‘diverse modern public’.”

[Daily Mail, quoting Daily Telegraph].

At what point do we start to deal directly with the enemies in our midst?

The enemies of our race and culture will not stop until that race and culture are wiped out. We must defend ourselves, and our civilization.

Quite apart from the very important free speech issue, anyone who has had to report a real crime to the UK police knows how useless they are, most of the time.

“Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) once again proving that he is a waste of space.

Very true.

It may be getting to the point where Russia will have to start “thinking the unthinkable”.

If I am not mistaken, that building was and is not far from where I used to live in Little Venice, West London. It is (I think) either in nearby Maida Vale or St. John’s Wood. I have certainly seen it before.

Ah, just looked it up. St. John’s Wood area. There are a number of other very similar mansion-flat buildings in that part of London.

I agree with most if not all of that. I have given my views on the Lineker storm-in-a-teacup already. My main problem with him as BBC presenter is his absurdly inflated remuneration (somewhere approaching £2M a year). Otherwise, though of course I despise his views and his hypocrisy, he is no different to hundreds or thousands of idiots on Twitter.

As Shipman has tweeted, the views of BBC staff (at least the highly-paid presenters etc) are at odds with the majority of the British people; and as he also tweets, by implication, this is not a “debate” but a war, and the BBC types are on the other side to that of the British people. Enemies of the people.

Note that other tweeter. Ex-ambassador. The FCO, like the BBC, is also riddled with (in the lay sense) traitors to our future, speaking ideologically; persons who want this country swamped even more.

Some of Cole’s tweets are interesting, though:

The tweeter was H.M. Ambassador to Cuba at one time.

That Guardian report on Cuba is well worth reading. The self-describing “Left” in the UK would do well to read it, and be reminded how old-style socialism (effectively dead after 1989 in most of the world) failed and (where it still exists) still fails, especially where the population is mainly non-white. Even Che Guevara saw that:

Another point is that, while apologists for Cuba and the late Fidel Castro always point out what a good health service Cuba has (supposedly), health is, before anything else, an outcome of clean air and water, decent living conditions, healthy food and drink, modest exercise, and absence of negative factors such as excessive alcohol, and/or drug abuse.

A health service is something to fill in where the above factors have failed.

Once again, the police, faced with real everyday crime, are proven lazy, uncaring, and in fact useless.

More tweets

There are so many now making a living online and even partly offline by simply pretending to be “activists” of various kinds. “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson, the part-Jew calling himself “Russ in Cheshire”, some other Jew in Essex, that Nigerian waste of space called “Femi”; the dull “anti-Tory” blonde calling herself “Supertanskiii”. Others too. “Griftocracy”?

Interesting. Of course, the SNP may still be able to keep going as a, perhaps the, major party in Scotland even if “Independence” becomes just a stuffed animal under glass, to be revered or looked at, but without hope that it might revive.

The SNP may have 45 out of 59 Scottish MPs in the House of Commons, but only 64 out of 129 MSPs in the Scottish Parliament, and a mere 453 councillors out of 1,227 in local councils.

Now that the SNP is fairly well entrenched in Scotland, it may decline a little, but I cannot see any immediate collapse of the SNP vote.

I have just read that “A junior doctor in their first year as a foundation doctor will receive basic pay of just under £29,400, with earnings typically rising to almost £37,000 after taking into account payments for extra duties. Second-year doctors earn an average of £43,300.” Not a fortune but, after all, that is just in the first 1-2 years. Some more senior doctors —consultants and GPs— make hundreds of thousands of pounds. The junior doctors do progress incrementally and may even hit those six-figure salary heights before too many years have past.

I suspect that the medical profession (generally) is squandering its credit with the British people, just as the police, MPs, NHS generally, and BBC (among many other groups) have already done.

Saturday quiz

Well, a poor result this week, both for me and for political journalist John Rentoul— we both scored only 3/10. I did get the answers to questions 3, 4, and 9, arguably the easiest ones. John Rentoul got the same questions right that I got right.

I thought that I had question 1 nailed with “boudin“, but (I think) it turns out that that is a different kind of sausage. Not sure. If “boudin is the right answer, then I scored 4/10. [update: just saw the official answers, and the right answer for that question is not boudin, so a mere 3/10 it is, one of my worst results on this weekly quiz].

“Prevent”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11764775/Yes-Minister-flagged-beleaguered-counter-terror-Prevent-scheme.html

No-one who has seen the tweets posted on Twitter by some of the semi-educated cretins identifying themselves as belonging to “Prevent”, or its associated bodies, will have been surprised at the recent storm of criticism around it. Indeed, I myself blogged about the nonsense several years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

Now it turns out that the kind of tendentious idiots they employ have compiled a list of books, films, and TV series which “might interest the [so-called] “far-right”:

Some of Britain’s most popular sitcoms and greatest works of literature were flagged as potential signs of far-Right extremism by a counter-terror programme.

The flagship Prevent scheme, recently the subject of a scathing audit, singled out comedies Yes Minister and The Thick Of It, the 1955 epic war film The Dam Busters, and even The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare as possible red flags of extremism.

The taxpayer-funded document included references to The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, 1984 by George Orwell and the poems of GK Chesterton. It also referenced films including The Bridge On The River Kwai, The Great Escape and Zulu.

Works by some of the world’s greatest writers were included as examples of warning signs of potential extremism, including Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Tennyson, Kipling and Edmund Burke. 

It almost seems like a joke.

The report even highlighted the BBC’s 1990s political thriller House Of Cards, John le Carre’s seminal spy trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Sharpe, the ITV drama set in the Napoleonic wars.

Inexplicably, it said the BBC’s Great British Railway Journeys, presented by former Conservative minister Michael Portillo, was of interest to the far-Right.

Historian and broadcaster Andrew Roberts said: ‘This is truly extraordinary. This is the reading list of anyone who wants a civilised, liberal, cultured education.

Author Douglas Murray obtained the full list and discovered that one of his books had been given a red flag by Prevent.

Mr Murray wrote in The Spectator magazine: ‘A number of books are singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrongthink and therefore potential radicalisation… It seems that RICU is so far off-track that it believes that books identifying the problem that it was itself set up to tackle are in fact a part of the problem.’ He concluded that RICU’s work was ‘pathetic’ and called for ‘accountability’ for its errors and ‘sackings by the score’.

The list has emerged following a major review into the Prevent scheme by William Shawcross.

His report, published earlier this month, exposed serious failings in Prevent, warning that it applies a ‘double standard’ to Islamist and far-Right threats. The £49million-a-year scheme had prioritised countering far-Right activity above tackling the prime Islamist threat, it added.

The report said Prevent had scrutinised Right-wing material which ‘falls well short of the extremism threshold altogether’.

[Daily Mail]

I should be prepared to bet that the mix of staff at “Prevent” includes dim types harvested from police and military “intelligence” rejects or retirees, probably quite a few embittered Asians or half-castes of the Neil Basu type and, very likely, Jews.

In fact, I should also be surprised were the Jew-Zionist element not very prominent or influential in all this, whether directly employed by “Prevent” or not. The notorious Jew-Zionist snoop organizations etc.

My blog post about this “Prevent” nonsense was written almost 5 years ago. Looks like I have been proven right again, if I say so myself…

Earlier this month, a migrant from Moldova who had arrived in Ireland in September was charged with sexually assaulting a girl in Ballymun, another working-class area of Dublin. At his bail hearing, the court heard he had suffered head injuries after being confronted by up to 40 ‘vigilantes’ before police arrived to arrest him.”

[Daily Mail]

In the immortal line of Windsor Davies, “oh dear…how sad…never mind...”

Last month, there were two ugly incidents in Finglas, a working-class district of the city, after rumours spread on social media that a local girl had been raped by a man who had recently arrived in the country.

An angry mob of about 200 surrounded a police station where the suspect was allegedly being held, with a ringleader telling the crowd: ‘The only way to f*****g deal with these c***s is burn them out of the f*****g place.‘”

[Daily Mail]

Byzantine planning laws mean that only about 25,000 homes are being built each year, and around 11,500 Irish people are classified as homeless.

One of them, George Sturdy, whom I met on a protest march in Dublin this week, told how he was living in a shared hotel room rented by the government, having been evicted from a static caravan.

‘I’ve been on a waiting list for a council home for six years, and know people who have been waiting for almost 20 years. There’s a crisis with homes for Irish people, and you see them throwing open doors. What do you expect people like me to think?’

[Daily Mail]

The conspiracy is transnational, and operates in Ireland, in the UK, in Germany, and all over Europe. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Google it.

In Ireland, a major conspirator was the (thankfully now deceased) bastard called Peter Sutherland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sutherland.

Sutherland strongly advocated unrestricted immigration into the EU… multiculturalism is both inevitable and desirable…”the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine” any “sense of our homogeneity and difference from others...”

Sutherland was the chairman of Allied Irish Banks (AIB) from 1989 until 1993.[15][3]

He was non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International

Sutherland was the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for International Migration until March 2017.[1][2] Appointed in January 2006, he was responsible for the creation of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).[1] He also served as President of the International Catholic Migration Commission, as well as a member of the Migration Advisory Board of the International Organization for Migration. He was a board member of Wallenberg-owned ABB and the Wallenbergs’ conglomerate holding company, Investor AB.”

He served on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group until May 2014,[16] and was Honorary Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (from 2010), formerly Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (Europe) (2001–2010.”

[Wikipedia]

As I said, a truly major conspirator and enemy of Europe’s future.

Sutherland, totally tied-in with the transnational conspiracy (UN, WEF, GATT, WTO, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission etc), tweeted a couple of times against me when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), but he died not long after that.

I usually say “de mortuis nihil nisi bonum” (“Of the dead, [say] nothing if not good“), but in his case, and the case of any like him, good riddance.

Seems to confirm the general tenor of what I blogged a few days ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/02/15/diary-blog-15-february-2023/.

Part of the reason is simply that there are relatively few “working-class” jobs now. As blogged previously, in the UK, the old “proletariat” has been replaced —to a large extent— by both the “precariat” (people in unstable, shifting employment, and with periods of unemployment), and/or by a contemporary form of “lumpenproletariat” (the raceless, cultureless masses whose world revolves around trash TV, trash “music”, “selfies”, drugs, drink, cars, and State benefits).

Some of what Monbiot sometimes says is sometimes right, but here we see his ingrained, genetically-determined (?) Jewish urbanism outweigh his learned environmentalism, arguably.

Monbiot is in fact only half-Jewish.

Not that I (as supposed “far right” “extremist”) am on the side of farmers at all times, right or wrong. Far too many (in the UK) are just greedy grabbers and/or freeloaders (taking endless subsidies or other State payments).

However, there is (as in the Netherlands) a push now by sinister forces to destroy the countryside for entirely spurious environmental reasons; in reality, just another aspect of the attack by alien forces on the white Northern European people (yet another aspect being the push to get blacks and browns visiting the countryside and/or relocating from cities to rural areas).

An enemy of humanity. Totally degenerate.

Very true.

Reading that, though, and seeing the reference to Arsene Wenger (a football manager), it once again strikes me how odd it is that (soccer) football has become the sine qua non for the UK middle classes.

It started in the 1990s, I think, maybe in the Blair years of the late 1990s. Now it is ubiquitous. Every politician has to at least pretend to “support” a football team, and you see both men and women, even professional men and women, not only “supporting” some team or other, but (apparently) genuinely and indeed passionately so.

It makes me wonder whether it is a substitute for ideas, ideology, or political partisanship, now that all the System parties are almost identical in policy terms and personnel, and now that any other ideological position apart from “mainstream” LibLabCon is deemed “extreme” (and probably “antisemitic”).

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/alarm-at-keir-starmers-selection-stitch-ups-has-spread-beyond-the-left_uk_63ea7625e4b07f036b9e842e

It makes me laugh that scribblers and MPs write much about the almost meaningless “right/left” labels, and occasionally about “antisemitism” (always from the viewpoint that it is, supposedly, “bad”), but rarely directly about the Jewish influence that now more than influences (put shortly, controls) the two main System parties.

I know what I would like to do to most of the MPs of both main System parties, and it would not be to vote for them.

Well, there it is. In this case political power certainly does come out of the barrel of a gun…

Not that the matter will ever be put to the actual Ukrainian people (beyond opinion polling). The regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky has shut down opposition parties, arrested the leaders and supporters of the same, and also banned trade unions and other organizations. His government may be, and is, a shambolic, kleptocratic mess, but when it comes to repressing political dissent it is efficient enough.

That of course is the problem faced by political leaders of any kind. They cannot be expert in all the fields over which their imprimatur is decisive, so it comes down to which “experts” or “specialists” they trust, unless their decisions are to be completely arbitrary in nature.

A political leader must inevitably always be a generalist, though he (or she) may be expert in one or two fields (eg Margaret Thatcher, a chemist who was also a tax barrister). However, what about all the other areas of policy, such as education, railways, military hardware, grand strategy, waste disposal and the general environment, intelligence and security etc?

You see all of that in the decisions of Adolf Hitler, among many others.

Hitler was, or became, fairly expert in some areas of military policy and strategy, and also knew much about art, architecture, and more academic fields such as history, religion and philosophy. In some other areas of policy or knowledge, he knew not much, yet had to decide upon them, a problem made worse by the structural constraints of the National Socialist state, meaning fuhrerprinzip or autocracy. The leader had to decide.

These factors affect the UK as well, for example at present. We have people who are pretty ignorant at the top (e.g. the recent Prime Ministers), and yet they have to decide high policy affecting diverse matters such as foreign policy, military and NHS procurement, law and order, freedom of expression, intelligence and security, transport etc.

There is no one answer, but having MPs, ministers, and prime ministers who are not such stupid deadheads as “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), Therese Coffey etc would help.

Incredible, even in an age of lazy and/or ignorant journalism. Has Guardian scribbler Gaby Hinsliff thought to examine the sheer volume of mendacious invention built into the “Jack Monroe” “backstory” and fundraising? Evidently not, even though numerous really poverty-stricken people have been fleeced by the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”.

Which continues. As of today, 502 utter mugs each continue to send “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 a month, every month, via the Patreon website…

and your point is, Monsieur Vetter?“…

I wonder when “climate journo” Vetter last took a European city break trip, or perchance even a long-haul holiday to Africa or East Asia? In the world of “climate change” activism, as with the “refugees welcome” types, hypocrisy usually rules supreme.

Society would be better off if every one of those interviewees ceased to exist.

The Jews have been screeching about Roald Dahl for years, mainly because he recognized what Jews are like even while (in my view wrongly) saying also that Adolf Hitler was “a stinker” (Dahl also said that he was right about the Jews and their behaviour).

I doubt, though, that Toby Young’s “Free Speech Union” will mention the fact that the Jews are behind the attack on Roald Dahl. The “FSU” has never said a word to protest expressly against the Jew-Zionist attacks on free speech in the UK and elsewhere; neither has it said a word in defence of those persecuted by Jew-Zionist orgs which have persistently made false accusations to Twitter, Facebook, employers, professional and regulatory organizations, police etc; see my own experience (of several), dating back about 18 months: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

A British Stasi is quietly growing in our midst. Powerful arms of government have begun to see it as their right and duty to snoop on conservative thought and speech, claiming it is in some way linked to ‘Right-wing extremism’. How long before the snooping turns into harassment?

[Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday].

Where has Hitchens been for the last 15 years? Many people have already suffered greatly from harassment, both at the hands of the Jewish-led and so-called “anti-fascist” cliques, and by police who have often shown themselves to be in the pocket of Jew-Zionist cabals such as the CST and the smaller but equally, if not more, malicious “CAA” (“Campaign Against Antisemitism”). See, eg, my own most recent experience: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

Today I include a tweet by one Matthew Sweet [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Sweet_(writer)].

The whole thread is worth reading, because it just shows so plainly the kind of System bias that exists in the UK msm. Not just this Sweet individual himself, but others whom he mentions approvingly.

Incidentally, he refers to himself as “Dr. Sweet” because he was once awarded a doctorate for work based around Wilkie Collins, the early detective writer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkie_Collins].

…also, several countries have been temporarily cold-shouldered by the EU establishment because they elected people independent of the System; Austria and Portugal, others too; now Hungary as well.

The EU is not truly independent of the USA or, rather, NWO, but part of the whole System:

I recall a sad scene: in the 1980s, I was once at a large rubbish dump on the edge of London with my then girlfiend (typo, maybe Freudian slip…please read “girlfriend“).

We dumped our rubbish and, while she was picking up a completely new-looking rug dumped by the man in the next car, I noticed a number of leather or leatherette photo albums on top of the rubbish.

They were full of black and white photographs of a then quite young soldier and his friends during the Second World War. Mainly around the Mediterranean. I saw pictures of them off-duty in Egypt (by the Pyramids), and in Jerusalem and elsewhere.

Treasured mementoes, and reminiscences of part of a life, now chucked onto a rubbish dump, no doubt after the death of the subject. Did he die without family, or did his family just think his photographs not worth preserving? We shall never know. It also struck me that, in poorer countries, the albums themselves would probably be salvaged by someone.

Poignant.

Famous last words lies.

The problem I have in terms of the System parties is that I want rid of both of them (and the LibDems, but they are scarcely worth worrying about). I want the Con Party to die off (as it probably will), but not if that leads to another Blair-type “elected” Labour Party tyranny.

Very true (and I post it despite that comic having once, years ago, tweeted in a hostile way about me…#MoralHighGround).

Even leaving aside questions of supposed historical “justice” or “equity”, any monies transferred, e.g. from Europe to black Africa, will be monies thrown away, to be wasted or squandered by those incapable of utilizing them properly or effectively.

Corbyn is a rather uneducated person, someone who, despite having almost no academic or work history, found a niche as a Labour Party socialist (?) politico. I had some —very limited— time for him once the Jew lobby started to demonize him and actively plot against him (when he became Labour leader), but in fact he was never even properly or decently “anti-Semitic” (for example, he always pays lip-service to the “holocaust” farrago, even perhaps to the “gas chambers” fable). Basically, a political idiot.

Hard to believe that, even these days, a manager on the London Underground can be fired for a comment about a trivial (in world terms) matter such as that.

What does the death of a black criminal in the USA have to do with London Underground? Nothing, but that is where we are, and where we are is largely so because the Jewish element (it’s usually “them”, maybe not in the instant case) always tries to get people fired from from their jobs if the Jews dislike the victims: look at what happened to Alison Chabloz, and many others; some barristers have also been attacked that way, including me (see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/).

…and they have not yet been punished.

That tweet begs the question, though, nicht wahr?

People must not be afraid of their governments“, but then, directly underneath, “(Posting videos of police [in Ireland] without their express permission, is a crime. Hence why I haven’t posted the video).”

Quite…

“Talking the talk” is easy, but not “walking the walk”…

Bravely said.

Quite. Including the main “controlled opposition” newspaper, the Daily Mail. When I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, the Daily Mail was the only newspaper to try to doorstep me, and the main journalist who wrote the Daily Mail piece about me (Google it) was an active Jew-Zionist then styled “Associate Global Editor” of the Daily Mail, but now working as… Editor of the Jewish Chronicle.

A tall tale

Speaking of Jews, I just saw a ridiculous tweet from the “World Jewish Congress”, featuring an old Jewish woman (aged about 92 or 93) who, when aged 12, i.e. in about 1942, three or four years after Germany took over Czechoslovakia (1938-1939) was, she said, sent to Auschwitz with her mother and brother.

According to her account, the detainees were first showered and disinfected, then all inspected by the now-notorious Dr. Mengele. He ordered her to be taken aside. She says that she “knew at that moment that I was to be taken to the gas chambers“. She however was taken to a room or cell and locked in alone.

She says that, in somewhere nearby, there was a mother, whose daughter was supposedly destined for the “gas chambers”, but the mother could not accept the girl going to the “gas chambers” without her, so she asked to go with her daughter in place of the lone Jewish girl nearby. The Germans agreed. That deal apparently “saved the life” of the now-90+ Jewish woman.

Well, my first reaction was “does anyone really believe a tall tale of that sort?”. First of all, we have all detainees showered and disinfected, something hardly likely if many or most of them were going to be gassed.

Secondly, how did a 12-year-old Jewish girl, just off the train from Czechoslovakia, know about “the gas chambers“, which (pretending now, for the sake of argument, that they actually existed) were (or so we are always told by the System propaganda on the subject) a closely-guarded secret until the end of the war?

In fact, the memoirs of all the main surviving war leaders, such as Churchill, make no mention of “gas chambers”.

Thirdly, why would the girl (and the other two in another room or cell) be kept there prior to being “gassed”, when (we are told) the Germans were gassing thousands daily? The “iconic” “six million Jewish victims” of legend, divided by about 3 years, equals about 2 million a year or, roughly, 2,000 a day.

Even bearing in mind the Zionist claim that there were several camps in Poland operating “gas chambers”, that must mean that, at Auschwitz alone, hundreds must have been “gassed” daily in those “gas chambers” of which, today, not a single credible trace remains, only one or two smallish rooms now labelled “gas chambers” and constructed (or, as they claim, “reconstructed”) after 1945.

Also, if the German authorities at Auschwitz had decided that a certain individual girl was to be “gassed”, why would they suddenly decide to allow an adult (who could work) to take her place?

The whole story is just lacking in any credibility, in short.

I sense that that whole farrago is losing traction outside the ranks of the Jews themselves (many of whom are indoctrinated into it from an early age).

GB News is, of course controlled opposition but, to fulfil effectively that role within the overall msm matrix, has to permit some genuine oppositional voice(s) to be heard. A “devil’s alternative”, if you like.

I no longer have a Twitter account (the Jewish lobby finally succeeded in having it closed down in 2018, after having plotted for years to do so) but, if I still had one, I would probably follow that promising “@david_r_morgan” account.

I myself was in those mountains in December 1989. Cross-country on foot and, at one point, on skis, in deep snow. Cross-country skiing is hard going. I have never tried downhill skiing, and doubt that I ever shall (or that I would like it even if I could actually do it!).

Can you imagine what the remains of our culture and civilization would look like (and will, unless we take charge soon) if only blacks and mixed-race half-castes were to exist? Think Mogadishu, Haiti, most of Africa, but on a larger urban scale. Just the remains of civilization and greatness, half-reduced to rubble, and the untermenschen crawling over the ruins.

That “Dr Freya Vass” (a teacher of dance, apparently) sounds like a complete loony, like most of the “Jack Monroe” partisans.

More seen about “Jack Monroe”

The tweet went the same way as that “Bootstrap Cook” blog post which claimed that she had been “waved through” the police cordon at Grenfell Tower in West London, and (armed with the “building plans“, no less!) more or less took over the rescue etc.

Remarkable for someone who was not, at the time employed by any fire service, or any other emergency service, and who lived about 60 miles from the fire— in Essex, where (for a year or so) she had answered the telephone at a call centre for the Essex fire brigade.

How could she have had the “building plans” for Grenfell Tower? Simply impossible.

That blog post was a remarkable exercise both in fantasy writing, and in trying to create an entirely false story. Some of her fans actually believed it, incredibly.

It emphasizes the psychological (narcissistic) need “Jack Monroe” has for placing herself centre stage. The big story of the time was the Grenfell Tower fire, but that happened 60 miles from Southend, and there was no nexus at all between it and “Jack Monroe”, so she simply invented a scenario in which she was right at the centre of events— striding purposefully through the police cordon to take charge of the emergency. Ludicrous, but some people believed it.

I agree. While one does not expect the editor of The Grocer, Best magazine, or even the Metro, to be particularly aware or intelligent, what can be the excuse of the editors of the Guardian and the Observer?

As blogged before, though, I would be surprised if the msm kept on, for very much longer, promoting the nonsense of the “Bootstrap Cook”, despite her numerous “personal connections” etc.

An obscure company has handed more than £340,000 to three senior Labour figures.

Analysis of political funding has revealed that MPM Connect Ltd has been the third-biggest donor to MPs since the general election.

It has given £183,317 to shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, £100,000 to former South Yorkshire mayor Dan Jarvis and £60,000 to health spokesman Wes Streeting.

Not that I disagree with him about Sunak’s “study maths until age 18” nonsense. The most important thing in that regard is to drill very basic maths (multiplication, subtraction, division) into pupils aged 7 or so. I constantly meet young and not so young cashiers at Waitrose who literally cannot work out how many lottery tickets are necessary for X-number of lines at Y-number per ticket. Some have to use a calculator!

Of course, “@TheFreds” are quite right: changing the colour of the deck chairs on the Titanic changes nothing but the scenery.

More lies from “Jack Monroe”

Serious pathological/psychological condition, I think.

I posed the question weeks, and I think even months, ago as to whether “Jack Monroe” sometimes makes up things and rolls out a pack of lies almost daring people to accuse her of lying, as in (to take a few examples only) that she was “on the game” (prostitution) in Essex (by reason of impecuniosity), that she attended the Grenfell Tower fire (60+ miles from where she lives), was “waved through the police cordon” (oh yes, the police would really allow a stray interfering rubbernecker to go through…) and even had plans of the building (why would she? How could she?).

The “Bootstrap Cook” said that she was so poor that she had to sell her small son’s toy dinosaur, that she had to take out lightbulbs in order not to waste electricity, and that she had to boil soap to make shower gel (which does not even stack up logically, when 90p shower gel lasts for 1-3 weeks with daily use, and when boiling soap costs money in itself; and why not just use the soap instead of trying to make gel out of it?). Ludicrous.

On several occasions, I have been certain in my own mind that her lies must amount to her thinking “surely the sad bastards won’t buy this one?!“, and then they (those who defend her to the marrow) do buy whatever absolute crap she comes out with at any given moment; while also (631 utter mugs as of today) each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month!

In other words, at times she is certainly, in the well-known phrase, “having a laugh”, a laugh at the expense of the mugs subsidizing her and the others promoting her, the latter including Nigella Lawson, at least a couple of Labour MPs, and of course the media rats from the Guardian, Observer, BBC and Channel 4.

I think that “Jack Monroe” lies mainly because she enjoys inventing a fake or 90% fake narrative, and because she enjoys making absolute mugs out of those who not only defend her as a supposed —if risible— “champion of the poor” but who also send money to her!

She herself has said recently that her basic lifestyle, inc. rent, utilities, food, adds up to about £4,000 a month. The 631 utter mugs subsidizing her are anyway sending more than that (I am guessing about £6,000 but it may be more) each month.

I have no idea who that particular mug is, nor whether his/her problem is a mental illness or just plain everyday stupidity, but imagine taking money off someone like that on the false promise/threat that Con Party MP, Lee Anderson, was going to be sued for stating, entirely truthfully, something along the lines of the assertion that “Jack Monroe” is basically a fraud (at very least, a “grifter”) “living off the backs of the poor“, which is exactly what she is and does.

It is obvious that “Jack Monroe” is not going to sue Lee Anderson and/or Martin Daubney, though she has hinted at “things going on behind the scenes etc”.

Rubbish. Technically, she has 3-4 months left before the one-year limitation applies, but Lee Anderson has apparently not even received any letter before action.

It’s another “Jack Monroe” lie, in other words.

I think that “Jack Monroe” has one main intent, which is to be the centre of attention. Nothing else. I believe, rightly or wrongly, that even the money she gets from mugs etc. is very secondary to that central narcissism.

Incidentally, the “media folk” are still promoting her— there are a couple of articles even today in the Metro newspaper, giving “tips” and a recipe, and no mention of the scandal(s).

[Ava Gardner in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman]

Strange to see: I was just reading about Ava Gardner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ava_Gardner] and saw that she died in 1990, aged 67, at at her home in Ennismore Gardens, Kensington (London), near Kensington Gardens, where she had lived since 1968. I never knew. Had I thought of it at all, I probably would have assumed that she lived in either California or New York City.

I have only been to that exact place once, I think; in the very early 1980s, with someone escorting the then Metropolitan of Kiev (a kind of Russian Orthodox archbishop, the second-highest prelate of that church) who was then visiting London. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition is at the end of a kind of hidden-away cul de sac there. We dropped him there, and were invited in (no-one else was around, as far as I can recall). The Metropolitan kindly gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.

In other words, only 1 person out of every 235 is on the side of “Jack Monroe” and her tweet.

Most supporters of the “Bootstrap Cook” effectively say, on the larger scale, “let’s bin the Tories. Once ‘Labour’ are in government, everything will be fine, or start to be fine“…

Does anyone with any sense actually believe that? The migration-invasion (both across the Channel and otherwise) will continue unchanged in numbers, and Rachel Reeves and her fellow Labour Friends of Israel MPs will be even harder on the unemployed, disabled etc than the fake “Conservatives” have been— she said so expressly.

In a binary political system, and one where both main System parties are really almost identical, you cannot change things very much by squashing one party at some election or other, because the other one is thereby strengthened, and the “Deep State” policies continue largely unchanged.

That Tom Doorley person is an Irish restaurant critic, who has been oddly biased in favour of the “Bootstrap Cook” for some time; see also https://www.tomdoorley.com/about.

Very true, though I doubt an accurate quotation. Or am I just too nice? I see various journalists tweeting that.

There we have it. Lisa Nandy proclaiming the gospel of the most extreme “trans” nonsense. Naturally. After all, she is one of the principal NWO/ZOG puppets in the UK Labour Party. Pro-mass immgration (the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan) and the migration-invasion, pro “the Great Reset” and “the Great Replacement”, the most extreme “Covid” “measures” etc etc. The “trans” nonsense is all part of that, destructive to the structure of society, destructive even to logic. All part of the strategy.

The above is a reply from “Jack Monroe”, “Bootstrap Cook”, to yet another naive supporter. It has been claimed (with, in my opinion, much evidence to back it up) that “Jack Monroe has a well-used line of defences when accused of cheating people, “scamming” money etc. One is to claim that she is afraid of being attacked, another is to use her still-young son as a reason to be afraid (i.e. that he will somehow be attacked), another is to use mental health or whatever as a reason not to address what seems to me to be the clear evidence of “grifting” amounting to near-fraud. I think that the police should be investigating the claims.

The threat above continues below:

…yet “Jack Monroe” still has 643 utter mugs each sending her between £3.50 and £44 every month. Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of pounds per month.

That refers to the crowdfunder set up in May 2022 by “Jack Monroe”, ostensibly to sue MP Lee Anderson [Con., Ashfield]. She told all the newspapers that she had “instructed” a solicitor, though that may well have been a lie; newspapers carried the story on 15-16 May 2022, but there has been no news since, and the accusation is that she has simply used whatever was raised for her own purposes. Certainly she has not attempted to address those and other concerns people have about her money-grubbing and alleged frauds or near-frauds.

Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney, the supposed targets of the apparently non-existent defamation action, say that they have never heard from either the “Bootstrap Cook” or her solicitor (if any).

“Jack Monroe” maintains a number of Twitter “sock accounts” with which she engages critics while pretending to be [whoever].

Ha. The half-Jewish Nigella Lawson operates on a far higher financial level than “Jack Monroe”, and certainly has no need to cheat her readers or viewers out of money. She seems, though, to have been taken in by “Jack Monroe’s” whole “poverty campaigner” act, and has endorsed her, though that was years or a number of months ago. I expect that Nigella Lawson is now trying to quietly drop “Jack Monroe”, just like several naive msm editors.

[Correction, 20 May 2023: in fact, I now realize that NIgella Lawson is not half-Jewish, but full-Jew. My mistake].

Ah, yes, I remember seeing that greasy little Jew on TV a decade ago, before he was caught out, after which he played the “mental health”/”rehab” card.

Oddly enough, despite being a Jew descended from two racially-Jewish parents, he has apparently espoused Roman Catholicism: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Newmark. Still, that preference has not prevented him from exercising greed (a mortal sin in Catholicism) on a massive scale (cf. “Bono” of the U2 popular music group).

It’s quite funny: many people say that Rishi Sunak is “really” British, because born in the UK, possessing a British passport, and having been educated at Winchester. In reality, his origins are ingrained, as they are with all of us. Nurture builds on Nature. Thus we see Sunak acting as an Indian Prime Minister in India would act, handing out perks to his cronies and senior employees.

The slide to nuclear conflict is obvious, despite the protestations on both sides to the contrary.

We live in a Britain where a university (Oxford Brookes University, at one time Oxford Polytechnic) does not know the difference between “Principal” (which would be correct, in this case) and “Principle” (which is incorrect, in this case).

Britain’s fringe academia is now replete with closed-minded (and pretty ridiculous) people such as this Dr. Leander Reeves.

A “single parent on benefits” sending “Jack Monroe” her few spare pounds, while the “Bootstrap Cook” spends £1,500 pcm on rent, attends parties in her Tiffany earrings, and enjoys an income of several, and quite possibly many, thousands of pounds per month via mugs signed up on Patreon. Sad, but also infuriating; the sheer grifting exploitation of it.

When you read the tweets of the naive pro-“Jack Monroe” tweeters, you realize how it was that so many people were fooled by the likes of “Boris” Johnson. So many people are just poor naive saps. Having said that, many are wilful victims, actively unwilling to look beneath the surface, or listen. Same goes for those who support many other things at present, e.g. “Ukraine”, “Black Lives Matter”, the cross-Channel migration-invasion etc.

Ha.

Turning to yet more pointless absurdity…

I examined this “Dr.” Louise Raw nonsense a couple of days ago.

Exactly. Many are just very very gullible.

Louise Raw’s doomed “legal action”, which will almost certainly never even see one day in court (because there is no obvious claimant and no obvious cause of action) can be added to the now-defunct fantasy “lawsuits” of other online poseurs, poseurs such as half-crazed “grifter” Mike Stuchbery, and the dishonest “Bootstrap Cook”, “Jack Monroe”.

In the past, I was willing to accept on the nod that Louise Raw has a “doctorate” (while making the point that she should not, thereby, call herself “Dr.“, and also making, impliedly, the point that “doctorates” are two-a-penny these days).

Now, I begin to wonder whether Ms. Raw actually even has a doctorate. She has consistently refused to say from where she got the doctorate, assuming that it exists.

Ms. Raw’s non-Twitter life seems to be obscure. I am wondering whether her whole persona is fake. We do not know. She has spoken under that name a few times over the past years on BBC Radio London, if that means anything.

Incidentally, I see that, out of the nearly £13,000 raised from (to date) 279 mugs by Louise Raw in her GoFundMe crowdfunder, no less than £7,500 has been donated by only two people (£8,500 by three).

[Update, same day: I forgot to mention the “Sistah Space” fraud of that West Indian woman, Marlene-something, who poses as a tribal African complete with a sort of faux-tribal costume. Literally “cosplaying”, in the contemporary phrase. She has ripped off £170,000 so far, and I see that hundreds of mugs are still donating to her crowdfund to buy a house for her (or, as she pretends, for black women —blacks only— fleeing domestic violence). £36,000+ so far].

“The Harry Formerly Known As Prince” would be a total nobody without the inherited title and family money, yet he claims to be against privilege! The lack of self-awareness is truly stunning, as when he and Meghan Mulatta take a private jet from LA to New York and back solely so that the Mulatta can pick up a meaningless “award”.

All the same, the pair do pose an existential threat to the UK Royal Family, inasmuch as vast numbers of blacks, as well as white “wokes”, support them, and because the whole situation leads many to wonder why it is —or should be— that not only Harry but also William, Charles, and the whole caboodle, deserve any respect from the public.

Naive tweeter Lucy Nicholls seems to be unaware that “Jack Monroe” had nothing to do with the ONS matter, beyond trying to horn in on it and take credit: see the tweets by “Awfully Molly” and others.

…and here we have —again— Leander Reeves, fringe academic, supporting “Jack Monroe”, no matter what evidence against “Bootstrap Cook” is adduced. In fact, Ms. Reeves is quite wrong to say that the critics of the “Bootstrap Cook” are “mainly men“. Most (that I have seen on Twitter) are women, many of whom feel, or have been, cheated by “Jack Monroe”.

Imagine, though, sending someone such as “Jack Monroe” £250! In the Northern expression, “some people don’t know they’re born“!

Until recently, the Guardian was still promoting the “grifter”, and we have seen recently that the grocery trade paper, The Grocer, has been similarly unaware.

Britain has become a country where unreality has become the norm: “self-identification” of sex as some kind of “human right”, black/brown immigrants as mostly useful (which they are not), WW2 “gas chambers” as supposed historical fact (which they are not), Albanian economic migrants and/or criminals as “helpless refugees” (which they are not), and so on.

That’s the basic story. I focused on lies about the vet and medical treatment, rather than the weird videos, monetised tribute, and other strange issues. Anyone who stumbles across this: Jack Monroe repeatedly lied about taking her disabled kitten to the vet. Despite being told “it’s not advised to do nothing”, she did nothing until the animal died. She is a fucking monster.

Note: compiling this post was not fun. But if Jack is lying about it over at Linda McCartney’s Insta, people should know the truth.

The “West” (NWO/ZOG) wants, ideally, Russia to implode so that the clock can be wound back to around 1998, when Jewish exploiters robbed blind the Russian people, and Russia ceased to be a superpower. That is the NWO/ZOG preference.

Failing that, the plan is to create a moment just before a world (NATO-Russia) nuclear war, in the hope that top military and political Russians will topple Putin and sue for peace at any price with the “West” and the Kiev regime.

The Jew Zelensky and his cronies hoped, and still do, to create a situation in which NATO will “respond” to a Russian attack or a false-flag attack, thus bringing in NATO on the “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) side.

The danger of course is that there will be uncontrollable escalation. Already we have seen that humanitarian and some limited military aid has moved on to the provision of Patriot and other missiles, tanks, long-range artillery etc. Now, Zelensky wants longer-range missiles. Where does that end?

Time for the USA and other states to row back on military aid (and the tens of millions of pounds/dollars in cash apparently being provided).

The USA is hugely more powerful than Russia now, but were 100 or 1,000 Russian missiles to strike the 50-100 largest American cities, the USA would be finished for a century, maybe two centuries.

As I have blogged previously, had anyone told me in the past (up to about 2010 or even 2020) that Australia, the white/European “Lucky Country” where I was once at school for 2-3 years (late 1960s) was developing into a multikulti bio-security police state, I would have laughed… (on the other hand, look where the UK has gone in the past 50 years).

This evening, Hull University v. West of England University (“UWE”— at one time, Bristol Poly).

The two teams of alumni were not much good, though I thought that Hull (whose team won easily) was a slight cut above the other teams seen in recent days. Though I still think that I did at least as well as the winning team, I was lost on some of the mathematical and scientific questions (and, of course, popular music). On the other hand, so were most of the contestants.

I have to say that I was shocked at the ignorance of the UWE team, who could not even get the name of the US President in office in 1957 (Eisenhower), despite two of the team having reported for the BBC and (I think) Channel 4 for years. Unbelievable.

The war in Ukraine is now going badly. I expect attacks on Kiev-regime infrastructure behind the front lines to continue and to intensify

It may be that the main dam on the Dnieper (a major Stalin-era project of the 1930s, rebuilt in the late 1940s after having been blown up by retreating Soviet forces in 1941) will be destroyed again.

The fact that msm “journalist”-scribblers have almost all swallowed the “Jack Monroe” “legend” whole, completely uncritically, and without bothering to dig a bit to see whether some or all of it might be untrue, says a lot about the state of the UK mass media today.

I was very much in favour of the “Bootstrap Cook” at first, years ago, but less so later, and now think that she has many serious questions to answer.

The fact that so many mainstream journalistic and “media folk” idiots seem to be actually emotionally invested in supporting her on Twitter makes me even more suspicious (I think that that the mugs who are actually still donating money to her monthly are probably a different set of mugs, for the most part; some seem to be real poor people, living on small State benefits, judging by those who have been saying on Twitter etc that “Jack Monroe” has not supplied the goods that she said she would supply).

I have no idea whether “Jack Monroe” (her name was changed by deed poll from the original Melissa Hadjicostas, she being half Greek-Cypriot) makes £3,000 a month, £8,000 or —as some on Twitter etc claim— about £16,000 a month, but her Patreon donation page alone (at exact time of writing today) shows 663 “patrons”, down from well over 800 a few months ago but still impressive. The lowest level of support is £3.50 per month.

663 x £3.50 = £2,320.50. Not a bad “little earner”, even at that level, to use the estuarine Essex argot.

The highest shown level of support (it was £44 per month until recently!) is now £10 per month. 663 x £10 = £6,630 per month.

It seems reasonable to conclude, therefore, that “Jack Monroe” is getting between £2,320 and £6,630 in cash, monthly, from Patreon alone (minus whatever fees or commissions are charged by the website).

Taxfree too, unless I am mistaken as to whether such donations are counted by HMRC as gifts or not.

The “Bootstrap Cook” also makes money from personal appearances, speaking engagements, TV appearances and, of course, book royalties from her 7 books, most if not all of which are still in print. From what I have read, at least £90,000 (in toto) in royalties over the past several years, and still rolling in.

One could say, “well, so what? She has the right to make money“, but if there are questions around the veracity of what she has said about her own life-story, if there are questions around her asking for money constantly, if there are questions about where monies have disappeared (if indeed they have) and if some of those monies were given by members of the public to be sent to charities, then the questions demand an answer.

For example, in May 2022, Jack Monroe was supposed to be intending to sue both Lee Anderson MP and the “controlled opposition” politico, Martin Daubney, in defamation. Monies were crowdfunded for that purpose, but so far (six months later) no writ has been issued, as far as I know. In fact, none of the usual pre-trial and pre-issue correspondence has occurred, as Lee Anderson said only last week.

I begin to wonder whether the Fraud Squad or similar should take an interest in all this. At least that might straighten out the facts.

What strikes me about the above is not only how gullible people can be but also how defensive, once their minds have accepted, uncritically, a certain narrative, a narrative about which they know absolutely nothing.

Not only the alleged quasi-fraud by “Bootstrap Cook”, but other narratives— “Covid”, Covid “vaccines”, “Ukraine”, the 2010-2020 “need” for “austerity” (spending cuts) in the UK; above all, the whole “holocaust” farrago, especially not but exclusively the “gas chambers” nonsense.

When I returned from Rhodesia in 1977, I took a number of easy-to-get (in those days) short-term jobs. One was hauling around sacks of mail at the Royal Mail sorting office at Redhill, Surrey. Another worker was an older fellow, doing a few months before Christmas, and who had spent his long naval career in submarines. We were talking one day, amid the sacks of mail, about Atlantis. He said that he was sure that there had never been Atlantis, or an Atlantean civilization, because he had spent months, indeed years, on submarines submerged in the Atlantic Ocean, and had never seen anything!

What could one say to such an unthinking person? Ask how many portholes his submarine had?! Make the point that any remains not destroyed by 10,000+ years of tides, currents, and the pressure of water etc, would probably not be detectable by such as sonar?

Pointless to argue with some people, because you are arguing with facts (using the intellect), whereas the “Natalies” of this world have an emotional response based purely on an embedded belief itself based on what others have sown in the uncritical field of their minds.

If two scribblers for the Irish Daily Mail (someone called Tom Doorley —apparently a restaurant critic— and one Phillips, a reporter or other “journalist”) yesterday reacted quite as unthinkingly in defence of “Bootstrap Cook”, then what can be expected of “Natalie”? In fact, said scribblers were far more rude, and no more intelligent, in their response to a tweeter tweeting about “Jack Monroe”, than “Natalie”.

I suppose that “Jack Monroe” will be fairly sanguine about the Twitter-storm around her behaviour. After all, so far 600+ people are still each shoving £3.50-£10 her way every single month, most of the public will be unaware of the questions raised about her, and the major msm outlets (Observer etc) are still puffing her entirely uncritically.

Well, let’s see…non-white UK Prime Minister arranges with other non-white “leaders” (globalist puppets) that the British people should pay for the corruption and incompetence of non-white “states”. What is wrong with that? Oh, no, wait…

It is not often that I agree with Dan Hodges, but strange times [etc]…

Interesting that most British people chose countries with a mainly British ethnic base; even the USA does have that to some extent, and of course a common language as well.

As for myself, it would depend, at least to a major extent, on the position I would be in. Emperor or slave? Poet or peasant? I would not want to live in an area without trees, either.

Both opinion polls show a slight swing back to equilibrium after the recent polls showing Con below 20%. Still, 27% or 29% is still low, and there are said to be spending cuts, and restrictions on pay and benefits, to come, which must impact what little popularity the Con Party has. The continuing cross-Channel migration invasion as well.

According to Electoral Calculus, the present state of play might result in an overall Lab majority of about 154 seats: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html; Con Party with about 150 seats, Lab around 400.

Probably my favourite Johnny Cash song.

If Johnny Cash were a town, his road sign would very likely say “Cash— twinned with Vysotsky” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vysotsky; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash].

Incidentally, while writing this, I found out that, contrary to what I had read and heard previously, Johnny Cash had no American Indian/Native American ancestry at all but was mainly of Scottish and English ancestry (see that Wikipedia article). Another surprise is that he was apparently a distant cousin of the (UK) Conservative Party MP, Bill Cash [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Cash].

Britain 2022— worthless “university” degrees

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11388619/Fifth-bar-staff-went-university-fuelling-fears-modern-style-degrees-worthless-study-shows.html

One in five bar staff are now graduates and experts say it is because university leavers find it increasingly hard to find professional work.

Nineteen per cent of bar workers went to university, compared with 3 per cent 30 years ago, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) found.

The research, based on data from 6,000 workers, also found that 17 per cent of waiters are graduates, compared with 2 per cent three decades ago.

The same is true of 14 per cent of retail staff, 15 per cent of care workers and 24 per cent of security guards.

It comes amid growing fears that many youngsters are taking ‘Mickey Mouse’ degrees, which do not properly prepare them for professional work. Around half of young people now study for a degree.

[Daily Mail]

Not a new problem but one which has undoubtedly become worse over the years. I had a friend in the mid-1980s who told me that all of his colleagues in the Covent Garden branch of Oddbins (a wine —and other booze— chain, now pretty much washed-up) were graduates, as was he himself (in his case, from a leading dance institute).

My solution to both the general dumbing-down (which I noticed when in practice at the Bar, talking to or listening to younger barristers), and to the “Mickey Mouse degree” problem, would be as follows:

Firstly, the State must assess students based on a number of criteria. Those assessed as being in the top 10% to get full grants, both tuition and living; the next 20% to get grants, but at a lower level; the rest to get free tuition but no other help.

Secondly, more (free and/or indeed paid) vocational training for a number of jobs; successful completion to be regarded as degree-equivalent. Examples: medical careers, police, Army, many business-related fields. This was the case until quite recently even in what are now regarded as “degree-only” professions. For example, up to the late 1970s, it was possible to be Called to the Bar without a degree (by doing a 2-year, rather than 1-year, Bar Finals course). The same was true of the solicitors’ profession.

It would be short-sighted for the State only to fund the hard sciences, or quite strictly vocational degrees such as law or medicine, but there have to be priorities set, and if (as now) there is a near-emergency in relation to shortages of nurses and doctors, then that is one area that must surely be prioritized.

The whole educational field needs a reboot. Some parts of it, indeed, just need “the boot”.

I have mentioned hypocrite Bryant several times over the years on this blog. No point in exposing his deceit again…

The more I read or hear about “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, the less (it seems to me) her whole story and set-up stacks up. I recently blogged about her (I do not accept the stupid “they” pronoun nonsense), and so have little to add today.

“Ukraine” is merely the convenient field of action for the latest NWO/ZOG attempt to control Russia. The struggle has been going on since at least 1989, and arguably far longer.

…”the lunacy of their solution“…which, in relation to the “panicdemic” meant shutting down the economy of the UK —and much of the Western world— for 1-2 years (now, a year or three on, about to cause a massive recession and maybe slump), making everyone wear completely useless facemasks, making people line up outside supermarkets 6 feet apart (until the were inside…and while going to the pub opposite was fine…); not to mention the ludicrous “Rule of Six” made up by “Boris”-idiot, and then of course, finally, the “vaccinations” and “boosters”, which scarcely impact “Covid” but which have caused an epidemic of heart attacks and other “excess deaths” across the world.

..as are the “Conservatives”. Two faces of the System.

Pathetic, nicht wahr? Here we have the very richest man in the world, valued at USD 195 BILLION (£171 Billion) i.e. $195 thousand million (!), an intelligent man, and not a conformist, yet he is allowing a pack of Jews to dictate to him, and/or (via large companies and advertisers) to blackmail him.

Note the (((typical))) desire to censor, to punish, and to recruit sneaks and informers.

I used to know parts of the Netherlands fairly well, about 40 or so years ago. My Dutch friends have, over the years, seen their city (Amsterdam) and country trashed, and their way of life ruined both culturally and economically: migration invasion, toleration of marijuana (etc), and a pseudo-liberal multikulti State and society which pretends to be terribly compassionate etc, but has evil at its heart. The medical and health system is but one example.

Yes, there are still foreigners who move to Amsterdam, think it wonderful etc, just as there is always a new generation of naive provincials who come to London, and think it great (for a while).

By the way, some readers will recall that the Jewish lobby got Alison Chabloz banned from entering France for 40 years, if I recall aright.

Mini-budget of Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss

https://news.sky.com/video/pound-plummets-after-mini-budget-12703855

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/09/23/mini-budget-stamp-duty-tax-cuts-ni-truss-kwarteng-ftse-100/

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/23/kwasi-kwarteng-mini-budget-key-points-at-a-glance

Aubrey Allegretti, political correspondent: Kwarteng starts by pinning the blame for inflation and spiralling energy bills directly on Putin.

[The Guardian]

Well, after all, it could not be the fault of the Boris-idiot government, which all but shut down the UK economy for 2 years for no good reason, while doling out free money like a drunken sailor…oh, wait a minute…

Aubrey Allegretti: Kwarteng seeks to turn the last 12 years of Conservative economic wisdom on its head and present the government as new and radical – rather than hanging on the coattails of the last one.

He lays out his central point that “growth is not as high as it should be”, arguing this only leads to less money to fund public services, relying on higher taxes, and so on.

“We need a new approach for a new era” should be seen as nothing less than a bid to reinvent the Conservatives and present them as a party of change – to avoid being blamed for the mistakes of the past. (Despite, of course, Truss having served in the previous three Conservative governments.)

[The Guardian].

This mini-budget is completely mad. The result can only be roaring inflation, higher interest rates for businesses and mortgage-payers, and before very long a huge spike in house-repossessions as people default on the mortgage commitments taken out in easier times.

Reducing tax for those earning over £140,000 —about 3x or 4x the average pay? That is just ridiculous and will be applied to purchase of hedging assets (including paying off any mortgage commitments such higher-earners may have).

Stimulation of the economy requires more money at the bottom end, where people are almost compelled by circumstances to spend on goods and services, not at the top end of the income scale.

Today, the pound sterling is down, as I write, by about 2%. Interest rates for UK government borrowing are rising steeply.

A budget of this sort does nothing for the poor (however defined), nothing for the bulk of the population, and only helps those already affluent or wealthy.

Indeed, it might be said that the “middle ranks”, meaning people without much capital, working for a modest living, paying off a mortgage, paying for children and a household, will be hit very hard.

If only there were an existing, tightly-controlled, social-national party, —even if small— and with credible policies and people. One does not exist. Somewhere soon down the road might come a “1929” moment. That was what started the NSDAP and Hitler on its path to glory (ultimately, tragic glory, but that is another question).

Hilary Mantel

The authoress, Hilary Mantel, has died.

I was struck by this, seen on her Wikipedia entry:

In an 2013 interview with the Telegraph, Mantel stated: “I think that nowadays the Catholic Church is not an institution for respectable people.”[5] She continued in the interview to say: “When I was a child I wondered why priests and nuns were not nicer people. I thought that they were amongst the worst people I knew.” These statements, as well as the themes explored in her earlier novel Fludd, led some to question her work in Wolf Hall, with Bishop Mark O’Toole noting: “There is an anti-Catholic thread there, there is no doubt about it. Wolf Hall is not neutral.”[46].”

[Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilary_Mantel].

I myself had no contact with Roman Catholicism as a child. Indeed, I do not think that I even knew any Roman Catholics until I was in my early 20s. All the same, the few impressions that I had then were not favourable, as when I was in Ireland aged about 21 and had left Tralee station to walk or hitch-hike to the mountains. A small car approached, the first one since Tralee. I stuck out my thumb, only for the miserable-looking bastards on board, a thin, rat-faced and bespectacled Catholic priest, and a thoroughly nasty-looking nun (who was driving), to pass me without even a glance.

After a week or so in the sea-mountains, I returned the same way. Again, a car approached. The same car. The same occupants. I thought that this time they would stop, having seen me the previous week. No. Straight on past, not sparing me a look.

Miserable bastards, whom I hope met a miserable end.

Incidentally, I did get a lift eventually, in both directions; on the journey out, from an attractive dark-haired young Irishwoman who would not accept a chocolate from me because it was Lent.

The years spin past ever-quicker. That was in early 1979, all of 43 years ago now.

Exactly. Both above tweets are right. The income point however leaves out the main difference between the few and the many, the capital held by each group.

The average Joe has no, or virtually no, capital. In fact, if you leave aside any equity value in residential property owned (usually just one dwelling, and Average Joe himself lives in it), most British people really only have a tiny amount of capital, a few thousand pounds, or even just a few hundred.

The wealthy few however, are often not at all dependent on income as such, certainly not income from any ordinary job. Their capital, invested in real property, or shares etc, is the key to their wealth. Careful investment and accountancy can mean that Average Millionaire/Billionaire Joe has almost no taxable income at all, while in any given year, his capital might have increased by 20%, 50%, even 1,000%.

The wealthiest of all have seen their capital increase hugely since the last financial crash in 2008; The Elon Musks (from about USD $2 billion to about USD $277 billion— in just one decade), the Jeff Bezos’s etc.

People like that laugh at the very idea of income tax. It is simply irrelevant to most of them. Look at the Duke of Westminster, small compared to the mega-billionaires, but still worth £10 billion -£20 billion. Then compare that to the Average Joe, who might (or might not) own, even including his house equity, maybe £200,000 or so. £1 for every £100,000 owned by the Duke of Westminster, and maybe £1 for every £1,500,000 owned by Elon Musk.

I myself had a great many problems with HMRC long ago. Partly but not entirely self-inflicted, and all now (long ago, over a decade ago) resolved to my satisfaction. I never ever encountered a bureaucracy as shambolic (as well as, in some cases, unpleasant) as HMRC. Not in Eastern Europe, not in the former Soviet Union, not in the USA (which came close, at times).

Look at them: Charles, Anne, Edward, Andrew, Harry (formerly known as “Prince”), William. Are any of them beyond mediocre in intellect, character, or in any way other than unearned and unmerited wealth? Most of them do not even pay taxes.

Meanwhile, Kelvin McKenzie, formerly of the Sun “newspaper”, exposes his ignorance once again:

McKenzie seems unaware that there is more to tax than income tax and inheritance tax. To give the obvious example (obvious at least to anyone better-informed than McKenzie), everyone pays VAT, a tax which is a major contributor to State funds, and is paid disproportionately by the poorer part of the population.

I have to admit that I have little interest in the minutiae of it all, but from the ruthless, Ayn Rand, callous self-interest point of view, the Mulatta has, as they say, “played a blinder”.

Putin’s decision to invade, as such, was not a mistake, but the decision to invade without proper preparation, without a proper plan, without having eliminated Zelensky, and with no proper logistics in place, was more than a mistake. It was criminally negligent. The GRU and General Staff should be purged, cut to the bone. Start again, as Stalin did.

It could have been done swiftly, with minimal hurt and damage.

Where can I get one of those? Or both.

True, but remember how Blair, and Brown in particular, worshipped the banking “industry” (sometimes useful but basically parasitic service industry).

More thoughts about the “mini-Budget”

Seems that “the markets” are dropping like a stone.

I mean, a simple-minded, almost cretinous Budget, announced by a woolly-headed ****** posing as Chancellor of the Exchequer; then we have a semi-educated half-caste with a “degree” in Hospitality Management posing as Foreign Secretary, and a stupid and ridiculous woman (who only became an MP on her back), actually posing as Prime Minister….what could possibly go wrong?

Jesus Christ! Is that stupid lot the best “the great Conservative Party” (in the words of Disraeli, his sentence ending “which destroys everything“…) can do? And is that hopelessly banal package of economic measures the summation of their thoughts?

The Jew-Zionists are behind much of the attack on free speech. About 90% of it.

I remember when, in the 1980s, a load of caravan-dwelling “travellers” decided to camp on Hampstead Heath, near the opulent house of “socialist” humbug Michael Foot. Suddenly, the great champion of the “rights” of the Gypsies and “travellers” (Irish tinkers) was against them camping near his house…
