I would say that that is what happens when the police are armed but the public is unarmed, but what gives me pause is that many Americans are armed to the teeth, yet show little inclination to open fire on the servants of the state, or even on opponents.
Peter Hitchens says the UK has "neglected to keep up reserves of gas" and if it results in shortages, it will be "as big a crisis as Covid".@Iromg | @ClarkeMicahpic.twitter.com/NqaU3bZNza
All our yesterdays: If anyone had paid any attention this idea (Scrap Trident replacement, build nuclear power stations instead) in 2006, we might not now be facing a power crisis: https://t.co/OJi352mGs9
That might have been one answer. Another might be, as I suggested in tweets until 2018 (when a pack of Jews procured my expulsion from that forum) to make agreement with Russia. A closer relationship with Russia, withdrawal from NATO, and the Russians would have sold the UK gas at rock-bottom prices, and in unlimited amounts.
I happened to hear some “Insulate Britain” “activist” on BBC Radio 4 PM a couple of days ago. I had not heard such a smug bastard on the radio or TV for a long time. Entirely sure of the rectitude of his cause, sure that the population as a whole needs to be told (what to believe) etc. Someone who really needs a good kicking.
The interesting thing is that all such people seem to think that doing disruptive things such as blocking the motorways will actually do something concrete to “stop climate change” or “reduce UK emissions”, when the UK only produces 1% of relevant “emissions” anyway, while China is building something like 2-3 new coal-fired power stations every week!
Some people (maybe even the same people) talk about “Little Englanders”, but there can be few so narrow in their outlook as these (supposedly) “green” activists, with their idea that blocking the M25 for a while will “save the planet”. What do they do after the protest has been filmed for TV? Get in a convoy of SUVs and go home to Stroud, or Sevenoaks, probably.
Meanwhile, China carries on building power stations, India carries on polluting, both carry on producing more Chinese and Indians, and Africans carry on breeding prolifically too. Ultimately, the problems of pollution etc are caused by too many human beings on the Earth at present.
If you or I were homeless, we would not be put in (reasonably or good-quality) hotels while teams of civil servants from central government try to find us houses and flats.
From one point of view, what is happening is madness; from another, it has method and purpose: the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan to destroy European race and culture, and to create a raceless, cultureless mass, easily manipulated and controlled by (((NWO/ZOG))).
It could be argued that a creature such as the “ISIS” groupie, Shamima Begum, is almost (though not part-European) typical in that sense: one moment she is swathed in the all-covering garments of the Dark Ages of fanatical Islam, the next moment she is chewing gum, wearing a T-shirt and a baseball cap, and might easily be seen in a shopping mall in the UK or USA (with or without a bomb).
From the point of view of the enemies of our race and culture, taking over long-established charities such as RNLI and National Trust has dual benefits: it means that those charities, with their loyal supporters and huge income streams, can be abused to trash the UK; secondly, that very fact makes the British people further lose heart that decent white culture and civilization can be maintained…
Boris-idiot is an appalling Prime Minister, but the masses seem to give him what the mediaeval revels called “the Fool’s Freedom”. That says more about the British masses than about “Boris”. As I wrote a couple of years ago, the British people have already discounted the many flaws and weaknesses of “Boris”, with the result that no scandal can touch him. He has, in the contemporary expression, “weaponized” his own deficiencies.
That leaves Starmer and Labour with yet another problem to add to their main ones— for what does Labour stand? What is Labour for? Effectively the same problem.
The Jew-Zionist lobby managed to get Corbyn binned. Starmer was put in Corbyn’s place, and all, or almost all, the Shadow Cabinet are now Labour Friends of Israel members. For the Zionist lobby, it really does not matter whether Labour fails to recover (entirely likely) or not. For the lobby, all that matters is that both System political parties of importance are under the Jewish/Israeli thumb (or heel).
It will be interesting to see what happens to Labour’s candidates in the two upcoming by-elections. In the first, at Chesham and Amersham, this coming Thursday (17 June 2021), Labour may struggle to retain its deposit. In the second by-election, at Batley and Spen (1 July 2021), Labour will be fighting to retain the seat.
Labour’s problem in directly electoral terms is not that its former voters might vote Conservative, Green, or whatever else, but that many will simply stay at home, whether literally or, in the case of postal voters, metaphorically.
I missed the tweet below (from weeks ago). I endorse the sentiments:
Cummings says a system that offers the choice of Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn "has gone badly wrong". Also "crazy" that Cummings himself was in a senior position. "Crackers" that both him and Boris were in charge
Many will recall Joan Ryan, the Israel-lobby one-time Labour MP, who was caught conspiring with Israeli intelligence officer Shai Masot a few years ago (Masot had a million-pound slush fund from Israel, with which to buy MPs, in effect).
I wonder how much the new position pays. Joan Ryan likes money, was a noted expenses cheat and blodger in, especially, the 2005-2009 Parliament, and was one of the highest-claiming MPs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Ryan#Expenses_controversies.
Look at the last bit of that video, when the Jew, Masot, says that he has received a million pounds from Israel. The look of pleasure on the faces of Joan Ryan and her little sidekick!

Take away the unsustainable “furlough” payments, and take away the governmental support payments for small business and self-employed people, then ask the same or similar question again…and then ask a similar question a couple of months later. The “public opinion” will have shifted. Much.
The police have largely given up trying to police ordinary crime, and have shifted personnel and resources to trying to police socio-political expression, which is not their job (or their business). Much (not all but most) of it is driven (from behind the scenes) by the Jew-Zionist element aiming at the censoring of any criticism of the behaviour of Jews and/or Israel, as evidence my experience of some 4 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.
— Kernow Matters to us 〓〓 (@kernow_matters) June 7, 2021
In some ways, Cornwall is very different from England proper. I lived for a couple of years at Polapit Tamar manor house, about 4 miles north of Launceston, and only a short distance from the River Tamar itself (Tala Water, a stream that runs through the property, is a tributary of the Tamar).
Exactly. “Controlled opposition”, which was engendered, arguably, by the Okhrana in the early 20thC (Father Gapon etc), is now seen everywhere. Julia Hartley-Brewer cited in the tweet above, but also think Delingpole, anyone in the Spectator, pretty much; also Breitbart, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, “Prison Planet” Watson, the pseudo-dissident bits of the Daily Mail and other msm outlets, as well as snake-oil salesmen like Farage (and pretty much anyone part of the whole UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform Party circus); others too.
How do you tell who or what is “controlled opposition”? The rule of thumb is, if they support —or are not hostile to— Israel and/or the Jewish lobby, then bin them. Controlled opposition.
Migration invasion. Santitized. Soon not reported on. All part of the “Great Reset”, Great Replacement, Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan or, putting it more honestly, down the line, White Genocide. The reality is behind the names.
It’s now become ‘mainstream’ to openly question whether restrictions are ever going to end. This time last year those who said that this was meant to be permanent were denounced as ‘crank conspiracy theorists’ and in some cases (eg David Icke), banned.
Yes, David Icke and many others broadly aware of the above (and willing to oppose it openly) have been removed from social media platforms over the past few years. As always, the organized Zionist-Jew lobby is behind much of the “deplatforming”. I was expelled from Twitter in 2018. Icke followed a couple of years later. Many others have trodden the same “Sibirsky Trakt“.
In fact, unlike the dissidents of Imperial Russia and their even less fortunate Soviet successors, most of today’s dissident thinkers and activists do not end up doing time (though some do). It is far more subtle than that.
People lose jobs or professions (as I would have done —disbarred in 2016— had I myself not already binned mainstream life), are subject to occasional harassment by authorities, are bit by bit removed from social media and so from influencing online opinion, are prevented anyway from publishing offline via mainstream publishers (one of the first to fall victim was the historian, David Irving: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Irving).
In my own case, from about 2009 to about 2015, Jews managed to get my book reviews (I was a “top 50” reviewer, one of the top 50 reviewers out of millions, as voted for by Amazon users) taken off both UK Amazon and US Amazon (so much for “the land of freedom”…because where “they” exist in large numbers, there never is any freedom).
I was then pursued via my then professional regulator, the Bar Standards Board, which eventually led to my disbarment (in England) in 2016 (in fact unlawfully, but that is not worth detailing right now).
Later, in 2018, I was removed from Twitter (I was never on Facebook).
You see the pattern. So far, American platforms such as WordPress have resisted (95% resisted) calls to “deplatform” me and others. How long a blog such as this will be available for the people to read is an open question.
The “panicdemic”, the “climate change” narrative, nonsense such as “Black Lives Matter” etc (all supported, you will have noticed by the big battalions of the msm such as Sky and the BBC, CNN, Hollywood etc), are but notes or Leitmotive in a symphony of socio-political “change” being played according to an agreed “composition”…
“I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think,” Park said in an interview with Fox News. “I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying.“
“Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.” [Yeonmi Park, on Fox News]
Well worth listening to what she has to say. In the end, this can only end one way…
I dislike mobs and mob rule, but it is clear that the unfortunate journalist, Nick Watt, was catching the flak that should have been fired at those nearer the top of the BBC, which has become, over the past couple of decades, a biased State broadcaster, with no more credibility than had the Soviet news media of the pre-1989 period.
I have no further news of the persecuted satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, currently in prison after having been sentenced to 18 weeks’ imprisonment for contravention of the notoriously bad law, the Communications Act 2003, s.127.
The imprisonment was the result of years of plotting by the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].
The sentence of 18 weeks is in fact about 7-8 weeks after taking into account normal and particular discounts and reductions. Alison has so far done about 2 weeks actually in prison (as of Wednesday 14 April 2021), and will in any event be released sometime late next month. In the meantime, her trial Counsel is thought to be applying for bail on her behalf (pending appeal). The progress of that application and that of her appeal lodgment is at present unknown to me.
Should anyone wish to send Alison a card, letter, or book, the address is:
Please note that any books should be *paperback, *new, and *sent direct from Amazon or other online seller. Please remember always to include the prisoner number (A6478EK).

Jewish officials in Marine Le Pen's National Rally party are writing a blacklist of party candidates with neo-Nazi ties: https://t.co/NjvQ2YlfjM
“Jewish officials” in the (renamed) Front National?! Non, non! Very disappointing (though not surprising).
Perhas, @annehoo77837961 Yet far less radical ways of making life quieter, such as better trains, more trams, more bicycling and walking, are not popular and have tiny political support. And millions love, play loudly (and make) hideous noise which they call 'music'. https://t.co/V9jBxkS6Ef
A 'Sunday Times' survey finds that more than 40% of those surveyed actually *enjoyed* house arrest, strangulation of the economy, travel bans etc. Yes, I know it;s an unreliable sample, but even so, I never knew bondage was so popular. https://t.co/uqHwbl9VTJ
I think that many did “enjoy” aspects of the initially-strict “lockdown”. Several reasons. Life was simpler overnight, in a world and a UK which seemed, and now again seems, often too noisy, complicated, stressed.
The iniquitous “British” so-called “long hours culture” (that in fact started to appear in the early 1980s) is part of that “society under stress”.
Then there is the fact that the now-ubiquitous “pleb”/”chavscum” element (both poor and not so poor) was stopped from driving around, crowding into places, beaches and country areas and, indeed, shopping areas. Same applies to the blacks and others in the larger urban concentrations.
Less road traffic meant that Nature could come back in a way many (including me) liked: birds, animals. Where I live is a semi-rural part of England anyway, but the effect was still noticeable.
Also, many people suddenly did not have to attend boring jobs in offices, factories, hospitals (yes, many NHS people too worked from home), pubs, restaurants. Many “worked from home”, which especially for those with comfortable detached houses, maybe with pleasant gardens, swimming pools etc, was a welcome change from the daily commuter grind.
Most of those unable to work from home were chucked furlough monies amounting to —again in many cases— 80% of their net pay, which taking into account commuting costs etc, meant that quite a few were better off than they had been when actually working!
Even those forced to rely on State benefits were better off, inasmuch as the post-2005 and then post-2010 bullying and harassment regime instituted by such as Alastair Darling (“Labour”), Iain Duncan Dunce Smith, and the Jew “lord” Freud was put on hold for the duration.
Of course, I was impelled to oppose “lockdown”, because of the enormous damage that it has caused to the UK’s society and economy, as well as to any notion of properly passed and applied law and civil rights (and because it had little effect on the spread, over time, of the dreaded virus), but there is no doubt that some aspects of it, on the ground, were welcome to many.
The challenge, of course, is to create a society with the positive aspects but without, as far as possible, the negative.

Look how smart everyone looks. And the streets are so clean.
“Pointless” from the point of view of “keeping the public safe” but certainly not pointless from the point of view of the secret cabals hiding within and behind the State.
A “vaccine passport”, “track and trace” etc are very very useful tools in the armoury of State snoopers. The old Stasi, in the DDR (East Germany), would have fallen over itself to get hold of such tools and technology. Every citizen to be registered, tracked, identified in all locations visited, followed everywhere by electronic impulse (in the near future?). A microchip under the skin? Don’t say, “no, that would never be done” or “people would never stand for that!”… The mass psychological experiment of the past year or so has put paid to such complacent certainties.

Hitchens may be right in some Oxford Union, theoretical, newspaper scribbler way, but is wrong in practical terms.
Workhouses, appalling prisons, low pay and no employment rights etc have all been features of British life in recent centuries, as has been detention for political purposes without trial (in both the First and Second World Wars). The Bill of Rights and Magna Carta did not much help those who were directly affected by the foregoing.
“…the structure of the proposed LTIP, which would deliver a block of shares covering three years, meant executives appeared “eligible to receive virtually unlimited remuneration”.”
“Cineworld staff have been on furlough since November, although there has also been a significant round of voluntary and compulsory redundancies at various managerial levels, from supervisors to cinema management.“
“The proposed LTIP will award the company’s top executives if Cineworld’s share price bounces back to £1.90p within three years. If this level, which is close to its pre-pandemic level of £1.97p, is reached, bosses will share £104m, with the chief executive, Mooky Greidinger, and his brother and deputy, Israel, in line for an award of £33m each.“

Wasn't so last Spring, was it @nappatedd? Passive acceptance of house arrest was almost universal, during some of the most beautiful British weather of my entire long life. https://t.co/PlGGqO4GBb
Two main reasons: the fear-propaganda put out by the Government, and in fact by most West European governments; also, the fact that most people did not suffer economically. Many were on furlough payment, others were working from home and (if they had nice houses, gardens, swimming pools etc) could treat the near-house arrest as a kind of rather spartan holiday.
Here he is in the middle, the horrible tyrant Matyas Rakosi, inventor of the term 'salami-slicing' – meaning, if you want to do something wicked, do it in small steps so that only a few notice and nobody protests. By the end, the whole sausage is gone: https://t.co/lxjQcTzcTe
All the same, the Jew Rakosi (the former a fact that Peter Hitchens somehow neglects to point out) was overthown, in 1956 (apropos of nothing, the year of my own birth) and, though Hungary remained under effective Soviet suzerainty until after 1989 (when, effectively, old-style socialism died), the country had increasingly “liberal” policies internally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A1ty%C3%A1s_R%C3%A1kosi; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A1nos_K%C3%A1d%C3%A1r.
History is not usually black and white.
On Peter Hitchens’ main point, what is now happening across the Western world, but not so much in Central and Eastern Europe, or in Russia (i.e. “panicdemic” being used as a mehod of imposing a “Great Reset”) may be happening partly because the states and territories that knew Soviet rule are unwilling to submit to tyranny again. As an acquaintance of mine told me in Moscow in 1993, “Ian, that is an experiment that we do not wish to repeat.”

My thanks to Jonathan Mayhew-Price for compiling in one place the recordings of my appearances so far on Mike Graham's Talk Radio show https://t.co/KOGQDLiZXN
Hitchens focusses on his own situation: increasingly censored and even banned (a talk he gave on TalkRadio was removed from YouTube and, though the channel itself was reinstated, his talk was not, I think). Hitchens however, is merely one of the more mainstream people affected by such methods. Others, including me, David Icke, many others, trod the same path previously.
Yet the facemask propaganda is being stepped up. The State mouthpiece, the BBC, via the Today Programme yesterday or today, had a fawning interview with some supposed medical “expert” who said (on being prompted) that medical-grade facemasks might become mandatory in shops and on public transport! Apparently Angela Merkel, the German dictator-for-a-while, is already moving that way.
The aim of the international conspiracy seems to be to see how far it can get down the path of “atomizing” people, making public group dissent a crime, and at the same time tightening (((control))) of the Internet. Result? Complete tyranny. They hope.

A city on the scale of a half or a third of the entire London sprawl, or about three times the size of the Glasgow metro area!
That same tweeter agonizes about the relatively few thousand illegal immigrants arriving by small boat, when even the entire illegal immigrant/asylum-seeker contingent is less than 100,000 a year. Certainly a serious problem (and one not being addressed) but 100,000 is only a FIFTIETH the size of those 5 million Chinese!

Talking of “Femi”, whose many deluded Twitter “followers” want to see as a Labour MP, he has tweeted this:

At root, he has no profession, no job, and lives in his (affluent) parents’ house, though he had some anti-Brexit “campaigning” work since leaving university nearly a decade ago, campaigning funded mainly by the EU. He is now 30 and, like the Japanese soldiers who carried on fighting the Pacific war long after it was over, is still (in his own little mind) fighting Brexit. His ever-smaller world is Twitter. In that, he is certainly not alone. Most of the self-describing “Left” are there…and only there. They have nothing to offer the British people, nothing at all.

In the UK and elsewhere, we see sometimes actions such as attacks on Jewish cemeteries. On several occasions, Jews have actually been arrested as the perpetrators. In some cases, they were mentally disordered, but it is suspected that Zionist cabals were behind some of such attacks. The aim? To make the point that “Jewish organizations need State help (and money!)” to “defend themselves”. Also, to create a perception of a “threat” from social nationalists when there is in fact no such threat.
