Strange dream
Like Churchill, I have the habit of having an afternoon nap when possible. Today that came with an odd dream. I was running some political organization, and there was not only some (unidentified) journalist there, but also Nigel Farage.
Upstaging the journalist, Farage had made a grandiloquent offer, that is that he would pay me a million pounds to interview me for some TV show or podcast.
The interview was to take place at an ordinary table on the (maybe) third floor of a building. Just a dull, carpeted space, with a few people (including that journalist) around. Someone else was accompanying Farage.
Farage was about to start when, not quite trusting him, I remarked (in the dream, “urbanely”…) that I was sure that, as a man of business, he would not mind if I asked for the cheque upfront. He started to expostulate evasively. I asked what value of cheque he was willing to give. The answer, after some “umming and arring”, was…£22!
I became angry, dragging Farage from his seat and across the grey-carpeted floor to the window, with him struggling and trying to escape.
As I approached the windows, Farage in my grasp (though struggling to break free), I shouted at him that I had known that he could not be trusted, and that not only should he be chucked out of a window but that I was going to do it!
I then woke up.
Well, that was what I was doing this afternoon…
From where did that come?

Why is Diane Abbott so keen for 1000s of young men desperate for a passport to be allowed unquestioned entry into the UK?
In Diane Abbott’s case, the motivation is simple— she just hates white British people, despite having been given a very easy ride all her life.
She is also an idiot…
That idiot might easily have become Home Secretary.
When you look at the —superficially well-educated— political cretins who form the System political establishment, you see how it is that this country is sinking into the mire.

As a barrister (until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, though I did not practise law anyway after 2008), I saw, even in the early 1990s, the “rotten borough” that is asylum law, and immigration law in general.
Perhaps so, and indeed that dissident third would shrink further if the people asked knew that the invaders are not detained, can come and go freely, get free food and medical (etc) as well as shelter, and even pocket money on top.
Having said that, the barges are a distraction. Up to a thousand of the invaders cross the Channel daily. Only 500-600 can be accommodated on one barge. Also, cross-Channel migration is only a fraction of the whole (about a million a year, plus births to migrant/immigrant/other non-white women already here).

Having said that, armies (especially large ones) vary much within themselves in their levels of effectiveness. Some regiments, corps, or other units are far above others.

I bet Matthew Parris doesn’t do a 60 hour week and have people shouting at you or trying to undermine your work. I bet he works at home in a cosy cottage in a village somewhere in the English countryside (grade 2 minimum cottage obs)
That latter tweeter is right. Parris, when not in London, does live in such a cottage (in Derbyshire). I see now from Wikipedia that he also has a place in Spain.
Parris himself has really never had a job as such, unless you include his unsuccessful two years as trainee diplomat and his likewise disastrous stint as correspondence secretary to Mrs. Thatcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Parris.
Having said that, Parris often writes uncomfortable truths, but I think not in this case, perhaps because he has never had the experience of doing a “real” job in the real world.
Likewise, as the tweeter below points out, PIP (the successor-benefit to the now-disappearing Disability Living Allowance or DLA) , is not an out-of-work benefit, and is thus disregarded from income for benefit purposes.
Parris thus follows in the footsteps of many scribblers, TV talking heads, and radio presenters, as well as MPs, who talk about State benefits and/or pensions out of ignorance, not knowing the most basic facts.
In 1983 Matthew Parris came to Scotswood in Newcastle upon Tyne to see if he could beat the dole system by living on unemployment benefit for 7 days – he failed and he apologised for believing he could. Maybe he should think about this before he types.
Teesside mayor Ben Houchen stands accused of "hiding behind a cloak of secrecy" over a deal that saw 90% of shares in a major redevelopment scheme handed to firms with Tory links. https://t.co/TrLKboZnbO#bbcaq

A one-time, and briefly, “rising star” of the Conservative Party.
Some people are just incredibly fortunate in life. I mean, look at Houchen: born 1986, was a student until about 2008 or 2009, when he became (I think, not sure) a solicitor. He may have worked as a solicitor for a couple of years (again, not sure about that), and his political career to date has consisted of being a local councillor for 5-6 years (2011-2017), then Mayor of Tees Valley (2017-2023 and continuing), and now (thanks to “Boris” Johnson) a member of the House of Lords.
Incidentally, when Houchen was elected in 2017, I tipped him on this blog as someone to watch, having heard him on the radio. I was right, but in more than one way…
So now, in personal financial terms, Houchen is riding high— £65,000+ as Mayor of Tees Valley, plus expenses —not a fortune but better than poke in eye with sharp stick— and £350 a day plus extra expenses whenever he turns up (even for half a hour) at the Lords, on any sitting day. So well over £100,000 a year, perhaps, plus generous expenses. Not bad for someone still only 36, and who has only just about (for ~2 years) done any real/non-political job (as a local solicitor in his native region).
Whether there was actual corruption involved in the Redcar Steelworks affair (scandal), I do not know. Questions have certainly been raised. £45M has gone missing.

Import into the UK (or the rest of Europe) the various races and groups of Asia, Africa etc, and you import with them their political ethics (or lack of), their moneygrubbing, and the rest of it.

Massive amount of house building in Oxfordshire. Just joining up the villages. But, this is the point, not one has solar panels on the roof!! Why not. It should be law of the land for all new build houses and factories to have solar panels. Politicians, please catch up! #bbcaq
I also think that new houses ought to have some kind of built in rainwater storage, to be used for gardens or, in extremis, washing and cooking. When I was working and living on a small Caribbean island about 24 years ago, my villa (like most of any size there) was built around a water tank. No mains water where I lived.
All water for bathroom and kitchen came from the tank, and it never ran out (despite rain being rare outside the hurricane season). Drinking water one had to buy. I usually bought filtered and cleaned (via ultraviolet light) Miami tapwater, costing (1999 prices) USD $5 or $6 per U.S. gallon. Sounds expensive (maybe $9 or $10 in 2023 money) but it would last me several days.

Most countries concentrate their cultural treasures in terms of opera, ballet etc in one city, usually the national capital, a concentration of cultural forces. Moscow, Paris, etc. Not all, but the exceptions are countries which were only unified (or created) in the 19thC (Germany and Italy, the USA).
By all means tour around the UK, but base yourself in London. Also, the concentration of cultural companies in London leads to cross-fertilization of the arts.
The most important thing is to keep a bloc of white Northern Europeans intact, because that bloc can be the foundation for a later “super-race”, one far ahead of where we are now. That foundation has to be “post-Aryan” and white European; the other races and groups cannot provide such a foundation. The later “super-race” will be a quantum leap in human evolution. The other races and ethnicities will be left behind, just as, compared to our world of today, previous forms of humanity have been left behind.

“A historic royal census, known as “swan upping”, has revealed a 40% drop in the number of cygnets on the River Thames, compared with last year.
The decline has been blamed on avian flu but also a growing problem of violence, including shootings, catapult attacks and dogs killing swans.“
[BBC]
I was saddened to hear, on BBC Radio 3 news this morning, that same report, i.e. that the number of swans counted on the Thames this year is about 40% lower than in previous years, and that, worse yet, part of the decline is because of “increased violence towards swans“. Jesus Christ! What sort of horrible bastards are cruel to swans?! They should be flayed alive if caught mistreating swans.
Having said that, there was always a small amount of such badness. I remember rowing my inflatable boat, with someone from my school, down the then-still-closed river Kennet in 1971, and seeing a dead swan in the water. The swan was obviously not long dead. That happened somewhere between Newbury and Reading. Not long after having seen the dead swan, we passed an unpleasant-looking young man on the bank, not older than about 20, with some kind of rifle or air-rifle. Were the two sights connected? I think probably they were.
Incidentally, the Kennet, and connected Kennet and Avon, was then only navigable by carrying the boat around disused locks, over barbed-wire fences etc. Since then, volunteers have been able to re-open the waterway to traffic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennet_and_Avon_Canal.

Pakistani “Scotsman”, SNP Leader and First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf, now proposes the flooding of Scotland with new huge numbers of Pakistani and other migrant-invaders.
If that were ever to happen as proposed, many migrant-invaders would take up Scottish citizenship purely in order to, sooner or later, relocate to England. That in turn would entail the building of…a wall…to keep them out. Certainly the construction of border fortifications.
In reality, though, it will almost certainly never happen. Even bearing in mind the pseudo-nationalist idiocy that leads to nearly half of the Scottish electorate voting SNP (that’s right— the SNP has never garnered even half of Scottish votes), this must surely give even die-hard SNP supporters pause.
Yousaf may just have cost the SNP a goodly portion of its votes.

One aspect that is relatively new is that it is precisely the wealthy and powerful parts of society that are encouraging the incipient chaos, so that they can profit by that chaos and then impose a “multicultural” police state. The “Covid” “panicdemic” was a test run for that.

I agree with that.
The “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” set up dozens, possibly hundreds, of Twitter “sock accounts” many years ago, and has continued to do so. Some look like genuine accounts with a few even having a couple of hundred Twitter “followers”. They praise “Jack Monroe”, her non-existent “activism”, and her ghastly “recipes” such as mixing tinned peaches with chickpeas and curry powder to make a kind of pseudo-Indian dinner. Mahashma Gandhi?
The aim of “Jack Monroe” is to try to keep her name appearing online for something other than cheating the less-intelligent members of the public out of their money.
Incidentally, as of today, 397 utter mugs are still sending “Jack Monroe” a total of thousands of pounds each month, via Patreon.
The reason why there are such concerted and coordinated attacks on @GBNEWS presenters is because in two years a brand new channel has managed to completely overthrow the cozy narrative which has been peddled by the morally superior establishment media for decades, and they are…
My provisional view is that the System set up GB News as “controlled opposition”, meaning that it was supposed to act as a safety valve by blowing off steam (public anger) at various issues, but (crucially) avoiding “antisemitism”. Look at who set it up as first Chairman— Andrew Neil.
Having said that, I think that it has spiralled out of System control to some extent. That is what happens. Look at Father Gapon in the St. Petersburg of 1905. The fake “resistance” sometimes mutates into real resistance.
The public were supposed to be bamboozled by GB News, but by some quasi-divine grace, the just anger of the public has, to some limited extent, taken over GB News presenters and agendas.
Rachel Reeves: member and vice-Chair, Labour Friends of Israel, supporter of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation (connected with the contrived “holocaust” farrago), wrote part of an Israeli propaganda book etc. Family income (herself and husband) of around half a million pounds a year. Suspected of being part-Jewish.
Still think that any “Labour”-label government under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper is going to be any better than the present fake “Conservative” shambles? 99% the same.
Rachel Reeves reminds me of the worst kind of HR/personnel figure. Or the toxic non-profit head who smiles as she questions your commitment to the work.
Every time they ask Rachel Reeves, School Dinner Thief to find some money, as if it isn’t the whole job of being the Chancellor, she’s unable to. Are we confident she has the ideas and lateral thinking to be the Chancellor
For a start, tax transnational enterprises trading here but domiciled elsewhere.
Then take away Zelensky’s ricebowl— stop sending billions in money, arms, and the rest to the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.
Then stop importing useless non-whites. Then get rid of the ones already here.
Then remove the hundreds of thousands of fake “refugees” from Ukraine who are here. Few are genuine refugees, and few are without money.
Then stop wasting money on useless projects such as HS2.
Start with the above, then keep going.

Jo Coburn: “Was the NHS underfunded before the pandemic?”
Here’s a grass roots initiative I can get behind. Neil Oliver @thecoastguy has kept me sane in these crazy times. @TuckerCarlson could do no better than to introduce him to his audience. Both great family men with high moral standards. The conversation would be epic! Please 🙏 https://t.co/0AiGdQ23mt
I noticed that a Twitter lynch-mob has been attacking dissident broadcaster Neil Oliver over the past day or two after he had a dialogue with a doctor who disagreed with him on one or two issues. The Twitter mob have been trashing Oliver not only about the medical questions which were the subject of the show (on, apparently, GB News) but also Oliver’s whole past history, his TV shows on archaeology, his views in general, the way he looks, speaks etc.
Many of the Twitter mob claimed (and at time of writing, are still claiming) that the doctor in question completely defeated Oliver. Also, that Oliver (and MP Andrew Bridgen) had no right to speak because said doctor is a doctor, and so of course (?) knew more than they do.
Well, is that last so? I did not watch the discussion (in fact I have never seen GB News and am unsure whether my TV can even receive its broadcasts) but the said doctor is, as I understand it, an ordinary GP, not a specialist in vaccines or, indeed, viruses.
What interests me is how there is this superficially huge number of persons on Twitter (though probably not even a tenth of 1% of the general population) who are willing to join in with others of their sort to create a Twitterstorm which, in terms of real effects in the real world, makes not a ripple in society or the body politic.
The sheer hatred of their vituperative tweets is incredible. These are, more or less, the “anti-racists”, and/or those who mostly believe every last (and latest, and unexamined) detail of the Jew-Zionist so-called “holocaust” farrago, and who “support” (by having little Ukrainian flags on their Twitter profile) “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev). Most probably support such as the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, no doubt echo “refugees welcome” slogans (and so what if most of the migrant invaders are in reality not “refugees”), and prefer not to think of the impact of the invading hordes on British health services, housing, social cohesion, crime and, down the line, pay and conditions of employment. Oh, no, that’s for “the Government” to worry about.
I would be prepared to bet that pretty much the same bloc of Twitter posters support the “trans” nonsense, are “anti-Tory” (while —most of them— somehow believing that Labour-label under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will be far better), and that almost all of them will identify with Remain/Rejoin and, of course, “FBPE”.
The Twit-mob lynch-mob of today is a contemporary version of the Stalinist or Orwellian “daily hate”. Examples seen today on Twitter:
“Work in a charity bookshop and it’s very noticeable that we can’t give Neil Oliver history books away. They used to be steady sellers. Same for Starkey and Johnson. History book buyers avoiding like the plague and GBNews viewers can’t read.“
“If there was ever going to be a Scottish UnaBomber it would be Neil Oliver.“
“Neil Oliver was always a biased clown, even on his “history” programs – now he’s just plain lost his mind.“
“No need to present evidence to dismiss the crazy claims of Neil Oliver and fellow loonies.”
There are hundreds of tweets like that, all from people who think that they know things, and they think that they “know” purely because they believe, by default, various System and msm sources.
They cannot bear even seeing a dissident opinion.
Opinion polls in the UK seem to be showing that censorship, “no-platforming”, “cancelling” etc are becoming more popular, especially among the young.
As far as I am concerned, if people are becoming more and more like easily-corralled sheep, then such people are not worth having in our society, and read that how you like.
Is that true, or just jingoistic hot air? I have no idea.

I am unsure at present whether there are being concentrated Russian forces in Belarus with the aim of launching an offensive south, toward Kiev, or whether those forces are there to keep Kiev-regime forces tied down on or near the Ukraine-Belarus border, so as to prevent the deployment of the Kiev-regime forces to the southeast regions, notably Donetsk and Lugansk, where most of the active combat is happening.
Ukrainian forces stopped on the Dnieper
Units of the "Dnieper" force group twice during the past day prevented attempts by the Ukrainian army to force an attack along the Dnieper River in the Kherson region. Five boats and 30 members of the Ukrainian forces were destroyed.

So UK, eh? Defence Minister Ben Wallace quits after telling us UK will soon be at simultaneous war with Russia, China, and African terrorists. I guess the Ukrainian laundry closing soon. pic.twitter.com/ZWKkNf3kHu
Britain should be politely distant with China, friendly with Russia, and hostile only to (((you know who))) and other untermenschen…
Wallace dismissed concerns over the pace of Ukraine’s offensive. He said Kyiv’s forces were ‘advancing every day’, but had been somewhat slower than expected because Russia's lessons learned and they've adapted accordingly. /2
Having adapted, Moscow's forces now lay mixed minefields, combining anti-personnel and anti-tank mines to further slow any Ukrainian advance. Russia is also learning, and adapting its forces, to deal with new, long-range weapons introduced onto the battlefield, Wallace added. /4
Wallace said Ukraine hadn't yet committed reserves from its 12 offensive brigades, the majority of which were trained and armed by Nato allies. He said Kyiv hadn't yet made a choice on what potential axes of attack to 'really pile it on' in an attempt to breach the lines. /6
On future security guarantees for Kyiv, Wallace said: 'You could expect more British troops in Ukraine after this conflict than you did before.' He suggested these troops would be as part of 'capacity building' training missions, building on operations Orbital and Interflex. /8
There is no “after this conflict“. Either Russia effectively “wins” the conflict (whether by negotiation or in the field), or the whole thing turns into a general Eastern European and Central European war between Russia and NATO, which might or might not go nuclear.
Whatever or whichever, there will be few more UK troops in Ukraine. In any case, the British Army is almost non-existent now in terms of major field presence. Take away the office bods, clerks, rear-echelon elements, and the whole brass-hat staff officer element (etc, meaning all non-combatant units), and I doubt that the UK could field, overseas, more than about 20,000 active troops, at most.
Who cares what Ben Wallace says, anyway? His military service consisted of 7 years in the Scots Guards (1991-1998), during which he attained the modest rank of captain. His subsequent pronouncements have been mostly idiotic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician).
Incidentally, we need not take his decision to stand down as MP at the next general election (presumably in 2024) as having been prompted by anything based on principle.
Wallace’s Commons seat, Wyre and Preston North, is set to be abolished via boundary changes, so were Wallace to wish to stay in the Commons, he would have to find another seat quite soon, almost impossible in view of the expected Conservative Party mass wipeout at the (2024?) general election.
I suppose that Wallace will now be looking for some well-paid business sinecure, combined with a nice £350-taxfree-per-day House of Lords peerage in Sunak’s resignation honours list.

No reaction so far from the usual Western “human rights” parasites about the plan to expel 800,000 Russians from their homes in Crimea, something akin to the deportations carried out by Stalin or (to a far lesser extent) Hitler.
In fact, the Kiev regime is engaged in “pie-in-the-sky” politics. Putin and the Russian Government (and people) will never allow the Kiev regime to annex Crimea again. If there were any real danger of that, the Russian forces would use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield and, if that were not enough to stop any annexation, a strategic nuclear missile or two on Kiev itself. In that event, “goodbye Zelensky” or at least his corrupt and brutal government.

Watched about 10 mins of the new TV spy drama, A Spy Among Friends. Had I known that it was about Philby, I should probably not have bothered. I do not have a lot of time for the so-called “master spy” whose reputation was and still is the most inflated since Mata Hari. No need to go into all that now, though.
I am rather impatient with films and TV dramas. If they bore or irritate me in the first 10-15 mins, I rarely watch on. In this case, there were invented scenes, which may have been inevitable, but some of them lacked any credibility. For example, there was a West Indian involved in the first few minutes, highly unlikely in 1963. Also, the show pushed, in those opening minutes, the buttons of all the known cliches about Philby— cricket, booze, womanizing etc.
It is true that Philby, had he become Chief of SIS, would have been a “master spy” or “legendary agent” (“legendary” in more ways than one). Not because (or primarily because) he would have been able to give the KGB secrets at all levels, but mainly because he would have been in a position to cripple SIS strategically, structurally; even more important, he would also have been in a position to deliberately mis-advise the Prime Minister and other ministers, and to point them in the wrong direction strategically.
It never happened. Philby was found by General Kalugin to be living in a permanently intoxicated state in his apartment in Gorky Street (now once again Tverskaya Street). Kalugin, and Philby’s last wife, Rufina, sobered him up somewhat, and Kalugin gave him mentoring work to do.
I myself was slightly acquainted in the early 1990s with a former KGB officer (turned businessman) called “Ed” (Edvard, from the Baltic regions or pribaltika), who told me at lunch in Hall at Lincoln’s Inn in 1994 (I think) that he had once heard a lecture by Philby at the Lubyanka. That lecture must have been late 1970s, or maybe early 1980s.
“Though Philby claimed publicly in January 1988 that he did not regret his decisions and that he missed nothing about England except some friends, Colman’s mustard and Lea & PerrinsWorcestershire sauce,[84] his wife Rufina Ivanovna Pukhova later described Philby as “disappointed in many ways” by what he found in Moscow. “He saw people suffering too much,” but he consoled himself by arguing that “the ideals were right but the way they were carried out was wrong. The fault lay with the people in charge.”[85] Pukhova said, “he was struck by disappointment, brought to tears. He said, ‘Why do old people live so badly here? After all, they won the war.'”[86] Philby drank heavily and suffered from loneliness and depression; according to Rufina, he had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists some time in the 1960s.”
[Wikipedia]
Assuming that the above is accurate, Philby’s only very superficial understanding of politics, geopolitics, history, and economics is almost too obvious.
Even were A Spy Among Friends better than my first impressions, I would probably not bother with it, because at root, Philby just does not much interest me.
“Human problems aren’t economic. They’re moral and they can’t be solved by immoral measures. They could be solved within a God-controlled democracy, or perhaps I should say a theocracy, and they could be solved through a God-controlled Fascist dictatorship.”
[Frank Buchman, in a 1936 interview]
I suppose that the devil is in the detail. What is “immoral”, in the sense of state policy or implementation? Also, state or political measures or “steps taken” are, arguably, too crudely “clunky” to very easily encompass matters of morality or spirituality. As Saint-Just said, “no-one can rule guiltlessly“.

Ukraine has been a corrupt mess since at least 1991.
Ukraine needs a new start. Ideally, the Russians should take all of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), as well as Crimea, and also a 50-mile-deep strip along the Black Sea littoral. Odessa and Kiev should have some kind of special status, either condominium status or as autonomous cities. A Ukrainian state, presumably based on Lvov, can then exist in the two-thirds of Ukraine west of the Dnieper and north of that coastal strip.

The only two of those cities on the map shown that I would ever choose would be Almaty (where I actually did live in 1996-1997), and which is probably still not too unpleasant, though I liked it in its recently-ex-Soviet quieter days, and Buenos Aires, which is at least a basically civilized city (though I have never been there).
I read once that Bangalore is not bad by Indian standards, and I know that it was a prized posting for officers and civil servants during the days of the British Raj, probably because it is in hills, and so cooler than the plains.

I have frequently noted Zelensky’s ghetto style of negotiation.
Do I sense that even the major puppets of NWO/ZOG are tiring of Zelensky and his corrupt cabal? Not least because there is no real prospect of the Kiev regime being able to “recover” the regions of Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk.
350,000 Kiev-regime soldiers have been fed into the hell of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk and other areas of the front, and have fallen. Several times that number have been rendered hors de combat by reason of injury. Foreign contract soldiers are now going home, and there are rather few coming to replace them. The Kiev regime is increasingly using press-gangs to force unwilling Ukrainian men into uniform, and has toughened the exemption regulations in order to be able to “lawfully” conscript a wider range of non-volunteers.
Ukraine is by most definitions a “failed state”. It exists, both militarily and in general, only by reason of the Western subsidies. It could well be argued that, as it now is, “Ukraine” is scarcely a state at all.

Still no explanation from BBC Question Time as to why “Jack Monroe” was invited onto the show not long ago, thus facilitating more of her fraudulent activities. She was exposed years ago as a continual liar, and increasingly, certainly since mid-2022, as an outright fraud.
I myself have been surprised, over the past year, as to how outrageous the “Jack Monroe “grift”/fraud is and has been.
Thinking about the “Jack Monroe” fraud and/or “grift” reminded me of a similarly untruthful character I encountered 30 years ago.
When I returned from the USA in 1993, and started to try to make a living at the Bar (based in exceptionally-poor chambers in London), I did both civil and criminal cases, though I was never much at home in the criminal courts.
At that time (maybe still today, I do not know), solicitors employed unqualified stray persons as “outdoor clerks”, who would attend court hearings on behalf of the instructing solicitors, and in support of Counsel appearing. They had no rights of audience but were more or less messengers and “spear-carriers”.
Such “outdoor clerks” were people most of whom had no legal training at all: out-of-work actors, retired people in need of a financial top-up, all sorts. The advantage in employing them, for solicitors, was the low cost. I seem to recall that a recently-retired lady I knew got £10 or so (maybe £40 or £50 in today’s money) to attend. Most of the hearings were brief, and even with the waiting around etc, the “outdoor clerk” was usually free by lunchtime if not before. Any more-serious hearings, including trials weightier than minor traffic matters, would usually be attended by an articled clerk (trainee solicitor) or a solicitor in person.
One fine day, I was sent to appear in the magistrates’ court somewhere, and was met at court by an outdoor clerk, a rather swarthy mustachioed person, maybe late thirties, who looked more like what the police might term a “villain” than any kind of quasi-legal representative. As soon as he had introduced himself, a furious man accosted him and said “I need a word with you!“, upon which the pair adjourned to a nearby room where I could see them arguing.
The outdoor clerk, one Mitch Baird, then re-emerged, explaining that the furious man was a solicitor with mental health problems. I accepted that explanation by default. I was thinking more about the case in hand, the first appearance of a defendant in an indictable case.
After that, I was instructed on other matters (civil as well as criminal) by the same firm of solicitors, headed by a Jew called “Maxwell”, so encountered Mitch Baird fairly frequently. I met his West Indian girlfriend, with whom he lived (when around). A pleasant woman. I also met her mother. Their house (belonging to the mother) was a large detached Victorian house in the Stamford Hill area of London better known for its population of Hasidic Jews. I even attended a kind of garden party there, well-attended by an eclectic mix, including at least one Metropolitan Police detective (I would never have guessed his occupation).
That all-day barbeque/garden party, which I helped Baird to set up, was also notable for the amount of booze consumed: Baird and I alone drank (I think) 12 (it may have been “only” 8, but even so…) bottles of Bulgarian red wine between us (it seems impossible to me now…), before, late in the evening, heading to Le Caribe, “London’s only silver-service Caribbean restaurant” (now long-closed), a mile or so away, for a couple of imported (Trinidadian) Carib beers at the bar, overlooking a scene of gold-festooned Yardie types dining nearby. Baird then drove me home to Little Venice and dropped me off there. God knows what his alcohol reading would have been, had he been stopped.
Well, suffice to say that the said Baird was not to be trusted. Reports and complaints gradually emerged. For example, he had, apparently, actually taken money in cash from the family of a young Trinidadian visitor for legal defence, when the latter was supposedly legally aided! I had appeared for the defendant, managed to get the charge dropped as well (possession of an offensive weapon), but was never paid (Baird had obviously not put in the requisite legal aid papers).
In a civil case involving defamation, Baird had (in my own chambers, after a conference), got the lay client to make out a cheque for £2,000 to Baird himself. I was myself totally unaware of those facts at the time.
When the lay client discovered that my written advice was that the case was unlikely to succeed, he complained to my clerk that he had been cheated by both the Jew solicitor, “Maxwell”, and by Baird (I was cleared by the client of dishonesty but described in his letter as having not understood what a good case he had! His letter had gone to the Law Society (the solicitors’ body), I think, with the names of all concerned, such as MILLARD, in capital letters, as in the files of the Security Service. That detail has always stuck in my memory.
The lay client had demanded that my clerk, or I myself, somehow get back his money.
Though I was myself blameless (as was my almost useless clerk of the time), I could see the situation snowballing. My clerk had discovered that the £2,000 cheque (worth at least £6,000 today) had been paid into a bank account controlled by Baird’s girlfriend, Baird having himself been blackballed by all banks. I therefore pressured the girlfriend on the telephone, telling her (truthfully) that she could go to prison if the money was not handed back.
I am not a natural bully, but needs must, and after a great deal of bitter tears, the girlfriend did agree to give the money to my clerk, who returned it to the lay client.
I believe that Baird split up later with that woman. No loss (to her). She was probably unaware that she was but one string to his bow. In fact, a very nice St. Lucian bar owner woman had told me that various West Indian women were always telephoning the bar for Baird, leaving messages etc.
Baird then had the cheek to telephone me at chambers and threaten to “give you a good hiding”, as he put it, if I refused to give him, via my clerk, the £2,000. I invoked the name of the Metropolitan Police, then put the telephone down. I never heard from Baird again.
In the interim, though, I happened to meet, at court, that furious man described at the beginning of this story. It turned out that, far from being the lunatic described by Baird, he was a most reasonable fellow, a solicitor who had employed Baird in the recent past as outdoor clerk, and who had discovered that Baird was stealing money, tricking clients out of cash, demanding cash even when the defendant was legally-aided etc.
That solicitor also gave me some background. It seemed that Baird’s parents were mestizos from one of the main Caribbean islands (I forget which), and that his father was a pillar of the community (I think a surgeon). Baird was white-ish but his half-brother not. Baird himself had apparently been a shocking disappointment and source of shame to his parents, by reason of his various behaviours in the Caribbean.
That solicitor had told me how it had taken him a long time to untangle the skein of fraud, theft, and lack of any responsibility, of Baird. The Law Society had been on the solicitor’s neck, I think.
I was contacted not long afterward by that half-brother of Baird, who begged me to meet him and his Polish girlfriend to discuss the matter. Turned out that he worked in a senior (he said) or middle-management (my guess) role at Citibank. He was afraid of scandal tarnishing him, especially the fraudulent aspects of his half-brother’s behaviour.
I met the couple at Ronnie Scott’s, the famous Soho jazz club, which I had not visited previously, and which I found quite interesting. The “Citibank” Baird and Polish girlfriend (a blonde dentist), who seemed to have some kind of VIP membership (we were able to jump the queue to get in) were not unpleasant, and we discussed the problem amicably enough before parting.
What struck me at the time is how the fraudulent Baird had managed to get away with many things because most people, most of the time, believe most of what is told to them, especially when they are introduced (by others, or via mass media “validation”) to the fraudulent individual in such a way as to lull suspicion.
It takes time to wake up to the lies of a hard-core narcissist.
Here we come to the similarity with “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”. She was introduced to the public by sort-of-trusted organizations and people. The Guardian. The Observer. TV shows. Nigella Lawson, the Jewish TV cook. Others.
That validation (which to some extent continues— incredibly, “Jack Monroe” was on BBC Question Time recently, long after her “grifting” and outright fraud was exposed) makes many tend not to question her bona fides.
Even now, you see on Twitter those unthinking people perfectly happy to accept that “Jack Monroe” crowdfunded to “sue Lee Anderson”, then did not sue Lee Anderson (a few of the mugs even think that she did sue— and won!), and then (as she claims) donated all those crowdfunded monies to an unnamed food bank, indeed to one which she refuses to name. Meanwhile she tries to pull the old “mental health”, “physical health”, and “fear of stalkers and trolls” stunts, which she has used many times previously when suspicions about her gather.
Some commentators think that I am wasting my time on “Jack Monroe” and her mug supporters. Probably, but it makes me angry to see vulnerable, well-meaning, often elderly and, not-infrequently seen, disabled and sick people being taken for mugs by that cheat and liar, who is just laughing at them, if only they were able to wake up and see it.
Where are the police? Still seizing “racist” teddy bears? Still snooping on Twitter or blog posts?
Finally, I have no idea what happened to the egregious Mitch Baird. Maybe the bastard died. Many of those who target me seem to live relatively short lives. Or maybe he just faded into terminal obscurity.

However, beyond the obvious hypocrisy, breaking of stupid “rules” etc, there is something more important, the fact that the whole structure of instant “laws”, “rules” etc was part of a massive scam on the public, both in the UK and across much of the world. “Covid” was never the modern Black Death it was claimed (and weaponized) to be. Scamdemic. Panicdemic.
It is clear when you look at those stupid and drunken young faces in the video that they have no fear of the so-called “deadly virus”. No fear at all. Why? Because they knew —100%— that there was nothing to fear.
The forces and puppets of Evil now know that a majority of the public can be easily controlled via a combination of fear, fear propaganda, social pressure, and repressive laws and “rules” brought in at will by whoever is notionally in power (in fact, political puppets and pygmies such as “Boris” Johnson, little Matt Hancock etc).
“Covid” (as an existential threat to large populations) was the biggest hoax since the “gas chambers” part of the whole WW2 “holocaust” narrative (farrago) was invented in the decades after WW2.

Jack Monroe bootstrapcook deleted this after she realised it would expose her for the hate filled, emotionally manipulative narcissistic conwoman she truly is. Lucky there's plenty of us screenshot it so she can't deny the truth. It's over Jack. Refund the money. https://t.co/ibRH63oTT0
She claims, this seething mess of chaotic, drug/drink-fuelled scamming and lying, to have a “spreadsheet” that she consults! Apart from that very implausible lie as to the “sue Lee Anderson” crowdfunder monies, the money that more than 400 utter mugs are still sending to her monthly via Patreon goes to her, not to “literally starving people“, or any foodbanks. Several thousand pounds per month. An outright thief and obvious psychopathic type.

Yup, if I had a platform of over 500k followers I'd be able to do far more. Sadly I'm just a lowly nobody. Imagine having a platform that size and wasting it on suicide baiting and vomit inducing 'recipes'. Makes me sick. She's horrific.
She SAYS she's donated it, but refuses to say how much was raised, who it was donated to, how much, or offer proof. And we know how worthless Jack Monroe's word is.
Learnt at the age of 51 to never give anyone money on the internet. Disappointed it was Jack Monroe #bootstrapcook who has taught me this lesson. Thought she was one of the good ones. To not even know who my hard earned money has helped is insulting . If she has actually given it
Of course “Jack Monroe” has not “given” the poor scammed lady’s money to anyone, unless to the local drug dealer or off-licence, or maybe some online furniture store or Tiffany jewellery outlet.
Sadly yes – lots of us independently screenshot it, guessing she'd likely delete when she got over the fit of narc rage she typed it in. We know Jack Monroe bootstrapcook has form for dirty deletes so people are ready to capture the evidence. Disgusting, manipulative tweet hey?
As remarked before, under other circumstances “Jack Monroe” might have become a career criminal of a more usual kind, or (in my opinion) even something like a serial killer, looking at her fairly obvious psychopathic tendencies.
As it is, she has cheated the elderly, poor and disabled, and is now defended only by the very very silly and unthinking, the unfocussedly-naive, Guardian-reading biens-pensants, crazed elderly lesbians and “trans”-persons, and “whiteknighting” men of 60+, often with mental or alcohol “issues”. Even the minor “celebrities”, such as “consumer rights” waste of space, Alice Beer, are now giving her the cold shoulder.
Look, though, at the standard of English thought acceptable from Daily Mail scribblers: “One motorist, who the campaigners explained their cause too, seemed fairly unimpressed“!
The scribbler, one Dan Sales, might like to amend that to: “one motorist, to whom the campaigners explained their cause...”; “to“, not “too“, and “to whom“…
Journalistic standards, as with other standards, have fallen though the floor in this country.
“Moment furious teacher berates pupil for questioning classmate’s claim that she ‘identifies as a CAT’ and for saying there are ‘two genders’.
The 13-year-old pupil said she was made to stay after the class at Rye College in East Sussex on ‘life education’ by the teacher, who can be heard in a secret recording calling her view that gender is binary ‘really despicable’ and ‘very sad’.
In the three-and-half-minute recording, the angry teacher is heard speaking to two girls and says they would report the children to a senior colleague, and they needed a ‘proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion’.
The recording begins with the teacher asking one of the pupils: ‘How dare you? You just really upset someone, saying things like [you] should be in an asylum.’
One of the girls responds: ‘I didn’t say that, I just said if they want to identify as a cow or something, then they are genuinely unwell, and they’re crazy.
‘You were questioning their identity,’ the teacher replies. ‘Where did you get this idea from that there’s only two genders?’
‘I just said my opinion,’ the pupil replies. ‘If I respect their opinion, can’t they respect mine?’

Incredible that some “Jack Monroe” supporters are still fixated on the idea that “Jack Monroe” is “doing good” in some unspecified way. Absolutely stupid, absolutely unevidenced.
Why does Jack Monroe want CCJs? It's been speculated it's arrogance, poverty cosplay or disorganisation. But it's been years and she doesn't advertise them, so it's arrogance and / or something else. I suspect it's arrogance + being so rich she knows she'll NEVER need credit. https://t.co/OaNnkJhkeO
“Jack Monroe” will certainly never need a credit line so long as (as of today) 413 utter mugs are each still willing to send her, every month, between £3.50 and £44 via Patreon. I had assumed that most of them would be sending the minimum, and probably none the £44 a month maximum. Apparently, I was wrong. Some misguided people were —and maybe still are— sending the max. Crazy.

It’s all very odd.
Maybe you can ask her to refund your money. Anything she has donated is off her own bat, she had no right to use other people’s money for anything other than what she said it was initially being raised for.
Jack Monroe doesn't even notice, or say thank you when £200 is sent to her – that indicates just how much cash she is grifting, and how self entitled she is to not even acknowledge a donation.@bootstrapcook is such a vile, insufferable, narcissistic, self-entitled charlatan. pic.twitter.com/CueNj45Fvv
She still hasn’t, to my knowledge. I wish that she would sue Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook too… Just imagine how many people have flung JM a fiver or a tenner or £100-200 as a one-off/regular donation under the illusion that she was in extreme poverty (rather than extreme luxury)…

More likely, China would sit back and wait until NATO states and Russia were both badly damaged or even (as major powers) wiped out. China would then be the major, and perhaps only really big power in the world.
Even without that happening, one might wonder what would happen after a nuclear war between the USA/NATO and Russia. Leaving aside the contamination of air, water, and earth, what of the strategic situation? Large areas of the world would either be uninvolved or substantially uninvolved: Australasia, South and Central America, Africa, much of the Pacific region. India. Maybe China, again.
That then leads us to consider what the world would look like after the (radioactive) dust settles. No post-1945 American hegemony. No pre-1914 European hegemony. No Russian hegemony. Everyone looks to China, of course, but even that is by no means certain. Without American and European markets for its manufactured goods, the Chinese economy would stumble at best, fall to pieces at worst.
Yes, China would, at first, still have its vast armies and other forces, and nuclear weapons of its own, but for how long would its military strength endure, once its economy is destroyed?
