As Enoch Powell once said, “we must be mad, literally mad [to allow this]”. The sheer sense of entitlement is stunning. Even the liberalistic Netherlands turned down the invader’s application, so he comes to the UK, where flourishes a combination of political and administrative inability to organize anything, and a miasma of “woke” craziness, meaning that the invader is still here at Government (taxpayers’) expense and may never be removed.
As Enoch Powell said, “literally mad“.
Now multiply the above case by the thousand, by the million…

The Conservative Party— a completely useless and clueless party, whose MPs are almost all just incredibly self-serving, and almost all incredibly stupid. On top of that, 80% of them belong to Conservative Friends of Israel.
Not that the Labour Party is hugely better. The only thing to do, for voters at the 2024 General Election, is to try to destabilize the fake binary system by making sure that at least one major party (i.e. the Con Party) crashes and burns, even at the expense of having to endure, for a while, a kind of elected dictatorship under Labour idiots.
I think that most voters, even former Con Party voters, have now written off the Conservative Party, and will not vote for it. Many, though, will never vote Labour either. It is an open question how many will simply abstain. Somehow I think, at the GE, not so many. They may seek out protest votes. Reform UK is plainly controlled opposition and pro-Israel etc, but will probably get a much higher vote than many are predicting; certainly 10%, possibly 15%, and I would not completely rule out 20%, depending on events.
Only a social-national movement can save our society, but at present it does not exist in any serious or hard-hitting way.

Mere numbers are only the starting-point. The vital point is, if there is a massive nuclear exchange between, mainly, the USA and Russia, what happens? One of today’s warheads probably does almost as much damage as two, or ten, or more, if all hit more or less the same place.
Obviously, were there to be such an exchange, the USA, as a functioning state, would more or less cease to exist. The same is true of Russia. As for the UK, it might be wiped out not only as a state, but as a nation (taking it still to be a nation), because of the small geographic size of the UK as compared to the two major nuclear powers.

“A serious government would have looked at Brexit and recognised the necessity for economic and social reform. The first lesson should have been that mass immigration cannot be a substitute for skills training, and that open borders is not a sustainable answer to labour shortages.
Subsequently, it should have examined the reasons business relies on immigrant labour and modified policy accordingly – up to and including far reaching welfare reform. It should have also taken steps to reform the ponzi scheme that is higher education, ideally dismantling second rate universities in favour of vocational training with a view to improving labour market fluidity.
It should have initiated an immediate energy policy review, dismantling the EU regulatory systems that push up the price of energy.
It should have prioritised nuclear over renewable energy. It should have looked at streamlining energy planning and procurement regulation.
It should have initiated a complete review of food and agriculture policy with a view to improving food security and reducing food miles, cultivating local supply chains, and revising trade policy accordingly.
It should have initiated a complete review of foreign aid, trade and foreign policy in line with clearly defined national priorities.
But our politicians didn’t want any of that. They liked having their thinking done for them. They didn’t see any reason for change and everything they’ve done since has been to prevent meaningful change. Sclerotic mediocrity is how they like it and it’s the best we can hope for.
That is why the Tory party is dying. They were handed a massive majority and a mandate for change and they did precisely nothing with it. They wasted our votes and our time. They squandered every opportunity and walked away from every fight. Instead of taking the cue for radical change, they doubled down on all the worst aspects of centrist consensus politics on everything from immigration to energy, in lockstep with the EU as though we never voted to leave.
Immigration is now out of control, rents have skyrocketed, energy prices are insane, university degrees are next to worthless, and now they’re inflicting heat pumps and EVs on us when nobody can afford either, nobody even wants them, and we don’t have the electricity to power them.
Now we find ourselves with nobody worth voting for, and a decrepit opposition party set to inherit power by accident of numbers, and virtually nobody thinks it will be an improvement.
There is no means by which we can arrest the decline – while the media gaslights us by telling us this is the most right wing government in history.
Not only does the Tory party deserve to die, it is a necessary precursor to any kind of British renaissance. The conservative party only wishes to conserve a stagnant status quo even if it drags us into the dark ages.
We are condemned to drab, anti-patriotic technocratic managerialism and a zombie establishment that has long since abdicated from its obligation to govern. They are rotten, debased, corrupt and ineffectual in everything they do.
Every iteration of it is like a bad Hollywood sequel – a jaded repeat bereft of ideas and energy, oblivious to its own creative death spiral.
The cancer has now spread to all of the state’s vital organs, and the patient is now on life support. Nothing short of a medical miracle can revive it from its persistant vegetative state. The only merciful thing to do is to let it die.”
I agree with pretty much all of that analysis.
The Tories need wiping out, they deserve to be obliterated for their betrayal of their voters. The future looks very bleak
Quite. I hate and despise the misnamed Conservative Party, but also despise and hate the equally-misnamed Labour Party. Other misnamed parties? The “Scottish National Party” (currently run by a Pakistani) and the “Liberal Democrats”.
Look what the small hats are doing to a country like the U.S. that has been nothing but supportive to them (mass migration, transgenderism, race division, seed oils, etc), what do you think they will do to the rest ?
…and if you say anything about all that, at least in the UK, some malicious Jew-Zionist volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy and Government (eg the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) will suborn or corrupt the police and the prosecution service in order to bring down upon you the weight of the criminal law (while, in the real world, real crime explodes).
Our political class simply does not have the will, ability or courage to govern the country effectively. It is has failed and will continue to do so. More time is spent on anachronistic formalities and internal party processes than is ever devoted to enlightened governance.
Labour are setting up an immigration trap. The idea of processing illegals overseas is a scam that will allow millions to come to the UK by applying from centres in their own country, we will be swamped. Labour are plotting for even more immigration https://t.co/KTy4i2JabL
Obviously. Even at present, 75%+ of the invaders are given leave to remain. That’s 75% or 80% of the actual small boat invaders; the “legal” ones are all allowed to stay for the period of their visa, but many who stay beyond that are also, one way or another, allowed to stay in the end.
Overall, something like 95% of the various types of migrant invader are —eventually— allowed to stay indefinitely. As a nation and possibly, later, as a state, the UK faces ruin.
In Africa and Asia live hundreds of millions who would like to come here. Yes, in time that will reduce the UK to a “third world” level, but they cannot see that. All they see is a country still hugely better than their own. They want what we have, or they think we have. Even if our living standards continue to slide, for the black/brown invaders that is irrelevant. They are used to much worse conditions.
Therefore, the migration invasion will continue until our society collapses into chaos and/or civil war. When? Maybe as early as 2030, maybe a little later. By 2050, for sure, as things are going. Thank God I shall probably not be here to see it face to face.

“Former Israeli Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said that Israel has lost the war against Hamas and Netanyahu must be overthrown. According to him, the real losses of the army are hidden, and for almost two months of ground operations there are virtually no strategic or even tactical victories in the Gaza Strip.“
It would be a mistake to assume that all Jews, even all Israelis, are behind the continuing devastation in Gaza. My own guess is that most would have been satisfied by a week or so of targeted, albeit bloody, attacks in retaliation for the stunning surprise attack by Hamas forces in southern Israel in October.
There was a film, several years ago, interviewing former chiefs of Israeli intelligence and security; they were far less gung-ho than Netanyahu and his clique, or the malicious and unpleasant Jew-Zionists one sees or hears of in places such as London, Leeds, New York etc.
By the by, I keep wondering whether the Israeli Government, like F.D. Roosevelt before Pearl Harbor, knew of the October attack by Hamas before it happened, but let it go ahead in order to have to popular support —initially— for what is now happening in —in the Israeli case— Gaza, which amounts to an attempt to occupy Gaza and drive out its 2M inhabitants.
That may read like “conspiracy theory”, but so many of such theories turn out to be just true in the end. Why did it take Israeli forces several hours, in some cases 12 hours, to deploy to the site of the October attack? Israel is small. Tel Aviv is only 44 miles from the border of Gaza, and maybe 60 miles from the site of the Hamas attack in October.
When I was a practising barrister based in Exeter, in SW England (2002-2008), I lived in a country house about 4 miles north of Launceston (Cornwall) and almost exactly 45 miles west from my Exeter chambers. Same distance as Tel Aviv to Gaza. One day, I made the journey, door to door, in only 35 mins. I am sure that the supposedly elite Israeli forces can deploy in at least similar time (by road or helicopter), if they are so ordered. So why did they apparently take many hours in October?
Late thought
A day or two ago, I caught a few minutes of a political quiz on Sky News. Radio politico Nick Ferrari, some black woman (I think Dawn Butler), useless half-Jew former MP and now (absurdly) member of the House of Lords, Ed Vaizey, and “British” Indian pseudo-Communist, Ash Sarkar. All wearing silly Christmas hats for the occasion.
What struck me (again) is that the System TV would never have a social-national person on such a show, but there is political bad joke, Ash Sarkar, sitting there happily alongside Ed Vaizey, despite having commended not only socialism but Communism on air many times. She was obviously loving being part of the System mass media in-club…
Only social-national people and policies can now save Europe. The System easily suborns and buys the Ash Sarkar type. Paid TV appearances, even alongside the so-called “class enemy”, articles in newspapers, social media profile (and income). Pseudo-radical careerists and profiteers.
Owen Jones similarly. These are play-“revolutionaries”, play-radicals, and almost ludicrously-easily manipulated by the System.
The forces of the Kiev regime may be able to launch missile attacks such as that on a Crimean port overnight, but the bigger picture is that the Kiev regime’s summer counter-offensive got nowhere and achieved nothing, that the Kiev-regime forces are rapidly running out of ammunition despite huge shipments from USA, UK etc, and that the Kiev regime is now very short of recruits, having to employ ever-more persistent press-gangs; Kiev is now asking EU states to repatriate Ukrainians living in the EU, so that the repatriated people can be put straight into uniform.
Russia is upgrading its heavy weaponry, building ever-more tanks, planes, and missiles. The summer of 2024 may see a general Russian advance which will overwhelm the ragged and exhausted Kiev-regime defences in Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
Even if that does not happen, the Kiev-regime forces cannot themselves advance. They have not the arms, ammunition, or men with which to do that. Their best possibility is to hold the line where it is.
The transnational conspiracy has had its support for the Zelensky regime sidetracked by the Gaza conflict; that is especially true of the USA. Zelensky and his cabal may be able to ban opposition parties, to arrest those opposed to war with Russia, to ban trade unions, and to refuse to hold elections, but what the Zelensky group cannot to is magic into existence more soldiers, more arms, and more ammunition.
The foreign mercenaries and other volunteers have mostly gone home now, those not captured or killed. The Kiev regime now seems to be paying mercenaries from countries with low living standards, such as Peru. Their pay is low. Still, you get what you pay for, quite often.
I doubt that many “contract soldiers”, even from regions such as South America, will now be applying to become casualty statistics in the Kiev regime’s failing war.
My assessment is that Russia is biding its time. That may mean no 2024 offensive (though, to the contrary, one may be launched in order to demoralize the all-important backers and “generous” suppliers of the Kiev regime in the EU and North America).
In the USA, the Presidential election may bring to power a President hostile to more support for the Zelensky regime. Trump is only the main possibility; there are others. Likewise in the EU. “Populist” parties are in the ascendant. Most do not want to funnel endless taxpayer funding to the ungrateful and failing Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.
The conflict in the Palestine/Israel region, which has now spread southward to the Red Sea, is already impacting EU trade lines.
Economically, Russia is thriving, overall. While the West generally, and especially the EU, is faltering economically, Russia is doing fairly well. As I predicted 18+ months ago, the sanctions imposed have forced Russia to both diversify and to find other suppliers of food and raw materials. Sanctions rarely have huge, certainly not decisive effect anyway. I myself saw that when, aged 20, I was in Rhodesia (in 1977).
Ukraine (Kiev regime) is, by contrast, not thriving; it only keeps going by reason of the money and other support and aid supplied from outside. Its agriculture is finding export difficult, and some markets closed or restricted. The industrial sector is running at a low level. Electricity supplies are interrupted, and gas supplies more so.
In the long run, what will sink Ukraine as a state (failed state) is the very low birth-rate, combined with the huge numbers of Ukrainians now living in a number of EU states and elsewhere. In the short-term, the ranks of the army are not being replaced.
Russia will win (in Eastern Ukraine), and the NWO will retreat.

Looking at the bigger picture, this is but one of the terrible consequences of decolonization in Africa (etc) from the 1950s through to the 1970s. That process was itself a consequence of the disaster of WW2 and the even more disastrous defeat of the German Reich.
Who now —save for the ignorant and/or brainwashed— can doubt that the post-WW2 ending of European rule over Africa has resulted in war, civil wars, degradation of the environment, and misery for the Africans themselves, as well as irreparable loss of wildlife and tree cover?

Not a particularly original or surprising thought (or two), but never mind…
I happened to see, a day or two ago, a Celebrity Chase quiz show, I think first shown several years ago. Nadine Dorries.
Hard to understand why Nadine Dorries was on a quiz show, except for the fact that, though any money won goes to a chosen charity, the contestants are paid (how much, I do not know; I presume somewhere around £1,000).
I cannot now recall the exact questions asked of Nadine Dorries, but she knew very few of the answers, and was quickly knocked out. Her ignorance was, even for a cynic such as myself, almost beyond belief.
The above experience once more led to thoughts of how MPs now really are the bottom of the barrel. Compare them to the better type of MP from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. Jo Grimond, the one-time Liberal leader, for example. A very erudite man who had also served in WW2 as an officer, and been a barrister. His memoirs are well worth reading, incidentally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond.
Not that I agree with all of his views, and the same would be even more true of Denis Healey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Healey], but these people had character, depth, real erudition, and were not simply self-serving careerists.
Compare them to (ex-MP) Nadine Dorries, to “Boris” Johnson, to Corbyn, to Keir Starmer, to Jo Swinson (a later LibDem leader of sorts), to Liz Truss, to Sunak, Matt Hancock etc… Among many many others.
Whatever method is chosen for selecting or electing MPs, Cabinet and other ministers etc, is of secondary importance. Prime importance must be given to the quality of those selected. In darker moments, I tend to think that the fall in overall quality of MPs just reflects the decline and/or degeneration of the society from which they have emerged.
Incidentally, on that Celebrity Chase show, Nadine Dorries claimed that she was the only MP not claiming expenses (in fact, she just meant certain “personal” expenses). Also, that she was campaigning to end MP expenses! The presenter was too polite (or short of time) to retort that she had already been caught actually cheating on her expenses several times, and had only just escaped prosecution: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries#Expenses_claims.
Zionism and Jews in the UK
Look at the tweet below, from the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]:
To those gentilesplaining that “anti-Zionism is not antisemitism”, our representative polling of British Jews has found that only 6% are not Zionists, and 97% feel personally connected to events unfolding in Israel.
Yet we constantly see or hear, from Jew-Zionist “activists” (troublemakers), that Jews in the UK have nothing to do with Israel or what Israel is now doing to the people of Gaza…
We also see or hear that “criticism of Israel is legitimate, but any criticism of Jews is ‘antisemitic’ and (they claim) not legitimate“.
The “CAA’s” own survey indicates that at least 80% of Jews in the UK are content to accept the label “Zionist”, and that no less than 88% of them feel “personally connected” to whatever is happening in Israel.
Also, note the derogatory term “gentilesplaining“: in other words, non-Jews cannot say anything about Jews (but Jews can —and do— say the most insulting things about British and other European cultures and peoples).

Late thought about Ukraine
UK television news full of the Kiev-regime attack on the Russian ship, and saying that Russia is losing the battle in the Black Sea. Well, the Kiev regime no longer has a navy at all.
Naturally, the loss of a large ship, even a supply ship, is very bad but, the very same day, Russian forces took what is left of the city of Mariinka in the Donbass. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67820916.
That is where the war is happening, on the ground in Eastern Ukraine. Russia is slowly winning there.
As for the attack on the ship, already the biased commentators on Sky News etc are heralding the dawn of a Kiev-regime strategic advantage in the Black Sea which does not exist.
In the final analysis, and if push came to shove, Russia could totally flatten Kiev and all other cities of Ukraine, if the leadership were so to decide. What is stopping that is firstly, that Moscow and Kiev were the centrepieces of Russian life for many centuries and, secondly, the fact that Russia is slowly winning this war.
Russia, though, is still one of the two main nuclear powers, and also has awesome conventional destructive capability. In extremis, that power could be unleashed. Kiev should be talking to Moscow about redrawing borders.
Merry Christmas to all well-intentioned readers of the blog.

Meanwhile, in the UK, the Jew-Zionist supporters of Israel pretend to be “afraid” (of mild or non-existent “antisemitism”).

In a month or so, I myself am to be sentenced, having been convicted of publishing [the truth] on this blog.

I just saw a TV news report showing an Israeli drone attack on Gazans at a street food market. People just trying to buy whatever little food is around.
Not a “mistake” or “error” by a bomber pilot. A targeted attack, by a drone operator sitting in a chair somewhere in Israel.
“They” are really going too far, but then “they” always do, historically. They then whine about the backlash, and cast themselves as “victims”. Wait until Israel falls, and “they” pour out as “refugees” to the USA, Canada, Europe etc, portraying themselves as victims yet again.

Interesting. I recall living in Sydney, Australia, aged 10, when the 1967 Six Day War happened. I also recall that (as far as I can remember) the TV news was entirely biased towards the Israeli side. Of course, I was unaware that there even existed another side to the story.

Much of the “counter-terror” stuff in the UK is a fake, and a cover for repression of opinion unwanted by and disapproved by the System, or by special-interest groups such as —and mainly— the Jew-Zionist cabals (malicious nuisances such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a kind of volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in the UK).

I do not say “never believe the experts“, but the fact is that they (and, more so yet, scribblers pretending to be expert) are usually wrong, especially when they try to predict the future, or when unexpected events happen.
The recent “Covid” “panicdemic” showed up ignorance of the supposed experts of the so-called SAGE committee (I called it “DUMB”— Department Under Matt and Boris).
There are, actually hundreds of similar examples, especially if you move from scientific-milieu examples to those of politics and economics. Lenin thought that the Bolsheviks would come to power when the 1905 “Revolution” (uprising) was taking place. Wrong… and Lenin did not think that the Tsarist state of Russia would fall as a result of the first (Spring) Revolution of 1917. Wrong again…

At first, I myself believed that the 2022 devastation in Bucha (a small township or suburb very close to, or effectively part of, Kiev) was a real event, albeit one committed by poorly-disciplined allies of Russia (Chechens etc). It is claimed that hundreds of civilians were killed and/or tortured.
Now, I wonder whether it ever happened at all (as reported). The much-photographed devastation seems to have been mainly in one small section of a single street; burnt-out Russian vehicles, destroyed single-storey houses etc. Hard to get to the truth. It may lie somewhere in the middle.

“A restaurant that drowned three hundred cats a month to fuel Vietnam’s cruel meat trade has been closed for good.
The Gia Bảo restaurant in Thai Nguyen city, in the country’s northeast, ran a lucrative trade selling cats, likely including stolen pets, drowned in a bucket one after another.
For five years, Pham Quoc Doanh, 37, ran the establishment after struggling to feed his family selling ‘other normal food and drinks’.
‘It was then I tried selling cat meat since there was no other available restaurant serving this in the area,’ he told Metro.
Doanh reached out to the Humane Society International, campaigning to ban the trade in Vietnam, who offered him a one-time grant to set up a grocery store instead.
On December 6, he symbolically tore down the banners outside his slaughterhouse and restaurant and began a new life.
‘For a while now I have felt a genuine desire to leave the cruel cat meat business and switch to something else as soon as possible. When I think of all the thousands of cats I’ve slaughtered and served up here over the years, it’s upsetting,’ he said.
‘Cat theft is so common in Vietnam that I know many of the cats sold here were someone’s loved family companion, and I feel very sorry about that.’
An estimated one million cats are killed each year for their meat in Vietnam, according to the charity – despite 71 per cent of the population favouring a ban.“
[Daily Mail]
Well, my opinion of Vietnam has never been very high (I admit that I have never actually been there), but at least 71% of the population apparently want this trade banned, and they do seem (from what I read today) to be taking steps in the right direction.

I have to admit that I have always found the idea of secret tunnels quite compelling. The KGB had a specific directorate specializing in tunnelling, though one finds little printed about it.
In the case of the Gaza tunnels, we are told that they extend for more miles overall than the London Underground, which has 250 miles of track, much of which, however, is overground. About 110 miles of the London Underground is actually below ground-level.
On that basis, only a small part, maybe 5-10 miles, or <10%, of the Gaza tunnels have been explored or destroyed by the invading Israeli forces so far. Information is obviously being restricted at present.
It makes me wonder whether similar tunnels do not also penetrate Israeli state territory from Lebanon or elsewhere, tunnels perhaps so far underground that they are undetectable.

“Labour MP Dawn Butler has vowed to report online message board Mumsnet to the Metropolitan Police after users on the site and other social media slammed her reaction to the Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict.“
[Daily Mail]
This is where we are now in the UK. Anything online that some idiot like Dawn Butler dislikes is now “reported”, either to the police or other bodies. If a prosecution under Communications Act 2003, s.127, occurs —and despite the Law Commission having recommended repeal of that as “bad law”— anything highly critical or satirical is now deemed “offensive”, and in practice as “grossly offensive” (and so unlawful).
It is a Kafka-esque farce which I saw at first-hand as defendant in such a case only last month.
The law in this area gives carte blanche to, especially, the usual malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionist whiners, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, with the police and CPS as dupes.
Still, we must always remember that “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].
Dawn Butler’s actions give indication of what the likely “elected dictatorship” under Starmer may look like. Repressive.
Still, the only way at present to destabilize the mainly binary Lab/Con system is to knock out one or other main party. That will be the misnamed Conservative Party, which may be largely wiped out next year at the 2024 General Election, but the price for getting rid of the Conservative MPs will be a near-dictatorship under Starmer-Labour.
The developing “social dictatorship” trialled (in various respects) during the contrived panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022.
If the authorities really wanted to address persistent (real) crime, they might start by banning anyone not on bona fide holiday, or bona fide recreational travel, from using a caravan or motorhome on the roads etc. You know what I mean…
“Britain’s rapidly shrinking military has prompted defence chiefs to shift hundreds of troops from the front line and into recruitment offices.
More than 400 soldiers from across the British Army have been ordered by top brass to join the effort to try and get more people to enlist.
It comes as figures from the Labour party revealed the Army has shrunk by more than 3,000 troops in the past 12 months, with 9,438 personnel leaving while only 6,308 joined.
Britain’s part-time reservist force is also shrinking despite recent efforts to grow it. Between October last year and September 2023, 5,580 reservists left and only 3,780 joined.
The latest recruitment statistics from the Ministry of Defence reveal the total Army strength plummeted from 79,139 to 75,983 during the same period, as recruiters failed to hire fresh new personnel to plug the gaps, leaving key roles unfilled.“
[Daily Mail]
So the first move in getting more troops on the front-line is to…take 400 soldiers out of the spearhead forces and sit them in offices?
“Lions led by donkeys“, as someone once said.
Why do we actually bother with an Army and Navy now? They seem incapable of stopping the only invasion happening, or likely to happen these days— the migration-invasion.

The key thing this person seems to have missed about the museum at Auschwitz is that it's not run by the nazis as a boast.
Reading a couple of tweets today reminds me of a personal experience of the criminal courts at Christmas-time.
I think that it was December 1993 when I went to Snaresbrook Crown Court (on the London/Essex border) to defend a West Indian accused of selling counterfeit cassette tapes at a street market.
I had formulated what I thought was a reasonable defence on the facts; in effect, mainly an alibi defence.
The defendant was rather a pain, who obviously thought himself a very clever fellow; I had also represented him at the committal proceedings at Highbury Corner Mags.
I was looking forward not only to a possibly successful defence but also to a lunch or more with a lady I knew slightly, who lived quite close to the Court, and who knew that I would be there that day. Not a firm date, but a pleasant possibility anyway.
Just before the start of the trial, Prosecution Counsel came to me with the news that the prosecution was not going to proceed. The cost of proving, via forensic science, that the tapes were counterfeit was too much, apparently.
Pleasant news both for the defendant and for me. Instead of a day in court, finished at 1030. The only negative factor— two days of refreshers (daily fees) which I would not get.
I was in the robing room and about to get ready to leave, when the public address system called my name. I hurried to the large circular reception desk in the entrance lobby of the building. Naturally, I thought that it must be that lunching lady whose businessman husband was, presumably, on the golf course where (she claimed) he spent most of his time.
Imagine my surprise and, to be frank, disappointment, when the person awaiting me was a short, fat barrister, who asked me whether I would be willing to undertake a defence at short notice (almost immediately). I agreed. A modest standard fee, but don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…
It emerged that, by reason of bureaucratic mistakes, a defendant (another West Indian) had actually got as far as Crown Court trial, on a charge of theft or attempted theft (of a handbag), without ever having had the benefit of solicitor or Counsel. Something, as far as I know, unheard of these days except where a defendant represents himself by choice.
The facts alleged were that the defendant had been being shadowed by a special police squad in the busy Upper Street, Islington, and that the surveillance squad had seen him enter the Cuba Libre restaurant.
The defendant had then emerged with a large laminated menu, and sat at an outside table, next to and very close to a table occupied by a group of young women. The police squad had observed the defendant’s foot moving the handbag in question, which was resting on the ground. Finally, the defendant had allegedly made to grab the handbag, only to be jumped upon and arrested before he could even get to his feet.
I actually knew the restaurant, had visited it a few times, and had even once sat outside, the very locus of the alleged offence.
I had a brief conference with the defendant. I asked him why he was even at a restaurant in view of the police evidence that he had not a penny in his pocket on arrest. His answer? That he had been awaiting his girlfriend, who always paid! I made a joke to the effect that I should have a girlfriend like that.
I told the defendant that the evidence did not really show that what he had done amounted to theft, or even to an attempt.
A poor witness in his own defence, but there was no need for him to give evidence at all, really. Let the Prosecution prove the attempt, if they could.
In Court, the judge was perplexed as to how the trial could ever have come on without Counsel having been instructed beforehand. Prosecution Counsel was equally perplexed. Still, both Counsel present were ready to roll, until —just as I got to my feet to reply to a remark from the judge— the defendant shouted out “WILL YOU PLEASE DEFEND ME?!“, followed by “I DON’T WANT HIM! I WANT SOMEONE ELSE” (unnamed).
The judge told the defendant to keep quiet, but added that, in the circumstances, he had no alternative but to adjourn the trial until late January, and grant the defendant bail. As the Prosecution Counsel said to me, that was exactly why the defendant had shouted out— he knew that he would be bailed over Christmas and New Year, and thought that an immediate trial would mean a custodial sentence that day, very likely.
I think that that defendant was wrong. I think that I could have had him acquitted that day, but there we are… I have occasionally wondered what happened at the eventual trial.
Incidentally, Cuba Libre closed some years ago, but has been resurrected in Dalston, East London, under another name. The interior seems to be similar to that of the restaurant I remember, though.

“Good afternoon, and an early Merry Griftmas to you all. I’m publishing this early to get ahead of a systemic attempt to shut this controversy down.
I can now reveal some of the extent of the grift as money sloshed through Jack Monroe’s PayPal account when she fraudulently claimed to be suing@MartinDaubney and @LeeAndersonMP_, as well as a bit earlier in 2022 when she repeatedly claimed her website was broken and she desperately needed the advertising income to continue her job as a “recipe writer”, making no mention of the £10k she had just received from Patreon subscribers.
My research covers the time period of the fake libel case, as well as various other begs such as the broken website, etc. and all the times she claimed to be living in poverty (e.g. July 2022), etc. however it was not possible to negotiate access to data earlier than that so we’ll never publicly know how much she scammed from 2012-2021, sorry.
It also does not cover beyond May 2023 as the primary focus of my investigation has been on the fake libel fundraiser which didn’t go beyond that time, as the most egregious fraud perpetuated on the public. January/February 2022: the “broken website” beg netted her more than £7,000 – seemingly a mixture of existing followers and new followers acquired from Nigella’s promotion of Jack’s Patreon and subsequent uplift in Patreon takings.
The fake libel trial: Over £25,000 in the first few days of the initial tweet about the alleged libel. Then, depending on how you calculate it (because no, these funds were NOT ringfenced at all), over £150,000 minimum across the year of claiming that she was definitely, 100% going ahead with it, boosted at various times when she put the beg out again and again and referenced it in media interviews, etc.
Hunger Hurts 2 – July 2022: A “smaller beg” of over £3,000 for contrived nonsense about boiling down soap to make shower gel. These figures and some of the data have been passed to HMRC and Action Fraud, urging them to do a deeper investigation.
Given the sensitive nature of the information, as well as the threats (of violence, of doxxing, of generally unpleasant things promised), police interest (I have not been arrested or charged), and backlash I received for leaking the Patreon data I was given, I am not going to publish the raw information at all; partly because I’m not a complete cunt, partly because there’s so many transactions that redacting them would take ages, and partly because doing so would likely undermine any future criminal investigation which has been my goal all along.
The level of deceit displayed by her is jaw-dropping. Inventing the fictional persona of “Jack Monroe”, the people’s poverty princess, and then revising history and testing out different versions of events to concoct the most emotionally charged and financially lucrative story to steal money from well-meaning, naive people: most of whom appear to have been less well-off than her, backing up the assertion that she claimed was defamatory about her making money off of poor people.
The people who platformed her have a lot to answer for, too. She didn’t become famous on her own. She has been platformed, celebrated, and supported by celebrities and the media for over a decade: all of it based on a mistelling of the truth that has grown out of all proportion to become monstrous, menacing, and misleading.
She has taken you all for a ride and laughed at your expense every step of the way. The watch, the earrings, the Cotswold sideboards, etc. all came from money you’ve given her. And it hasn’t helped the less fortunate: her “campaigning” has been insipid and weak, vague and general rather than specific, and a waste of time when a more qualified, knowledgeable person with the work ethic Jack lacks could have been platformed instead.
I can only hope this conclusively puts an end to her scamming and she faces justice for all the bad things she’s done. It is my fervent wish that she becomes a winning answer on the show Pointless (as nobody will know who she is) and that she is treated with contempt and mockery everywhere she goes, second only to the wish that she faces proper investigation and criminal sanctions for the fraud she’s committed.
And, at this point, given all I have seen, I am firmly of the opinion that it is fraud. Not a mistake, not an “oopsie, my bad” but clear, calculated fraud designed to take money from well-meaning people and spend it on herself. My work here is done.
This account will now be archived so the evidence remains public. Thanks for all your support. I couldn’t have done it without you all. I am off to enjoy my Christmas vacation now and I hope you are too (if you celebrate it). Please enjoy the video at the bottom and turn the sound up to hear the song.

The real “net” figure is even higher at present, closer to 600,000.

Neither do such figures make any reference to the numbers of non-whites born in the UK every year. White British people are declining in numbers constantly, not only in percentage terms but also in terms of absolute numbers.

Historical note
I was just reading something about the 18thC German mystic and writer, Novalis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novalis], better known in Central Europe than in the UK.
I saw this on Wikipedia:
“While at Jena, he published his first poem and befriended the playwright and fellow poet Friedrich Schiller. In Leipzig, he then met Friedrich Schlegel, becoming lifetime friends. Novalis completed his law degree in 1794 at the age of 22. He then worked as a legal assistant in Tennstedt immediately after graduating. There, he met Sophie von Kühn. The following year Novalis and Sophie became secretly engaged. Sophie became severely ill soon after the engagement and died just after her 15th birthday. Sophie’s early death had a life-long impact on Novalis and his writing.”
Also, re that girl:
Although Novalis’s love for Sophie has assumed mythic proportions, their time together was short and uneventful. The two met on 17 November 1794 when Novalis was twenty-two and Sophie was only twelve. They became engaged on Sophie’s thirteenth birthday 17 March 1795. Sophie became sick in November 1795, and her sickness continued until her death at the age of 15 in March 1797.”
I suppose that the average person today in the UK would be appalled at her young age when engaged, but the Wikipedia piece makes it fairly obvious that the relationship was kept on an idealized or romantic-spiritual level.
…and note the (((tribe))) of the one in the middle…
Sir Robert Menzies was Australian PM from 1949-1966. Here, he defends the White Australia policy that prioritised European immigration until 1966. Like America, which had a similar policy until 1965, Australia has been in multicultural decline ever since. pic.twitter.com/r0ydiiaDIg
Have a look at this footage of Paris in the 1920s. How well-dressed, well-behaved and FRENCH everyone is. How clean the streets are! The Islamisation and Africanisation of Paris is a crime against humanity. pic.twitter.com/bD0mKIQnlH
Paris was still a pretty decent, if rather quirky and odd city in 1971, when I spent three weeks there with a French couple (in the 5th Arrondisement; on the Left Bank). When I saw it again, in 1978, it was still OK. I did not see Paris again until 1990. Already its character had changed in many ways, mostly negatively. I was not there again, in the city itself, until about 2008. The rot had really set in…

“Former defence secretary Ben Wallace has warned Israel that it risks undermining the legal basis for its action in the Gaza Strip, adding to growing international pressure over the escalating conflict.
Writing in the Telegraph, the senior Tory warned against a ‘killing rage’ and said Israel’s ‘original legal authority of self-defence is being undermined by its own actions’.
The intervention by Mr Wallace, who left office earlier this year, is the latest warning to Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration amid deepening concern over the scale of civilian casualties.”
[Daily Mail]
Even pro-Israel drones such as Wallace are now trying to distance themselves from Israel’s “massacre of (mainly) the innocents” in Gaza.
The Israelis and other Jews may not be (mainly) descended from the original Israelites of thousands of years ago (the Jews of today being descended mainly from Black Sea or other Khazars), but the former model their actions on the Israelites’ genocidal wars as recounted in the Old Testament.
“Jack Monroe”
Certainly overdue for a reckoning on this one. She seems to have gone silent which is a good thing in terms of her dangerously misguided "campaigning" but can't help wondering why none of the celebrities that defended her have nothing to say now. #JackMonroe
I do think she wrongly perpetuated the idea that one could feed a family healthily for £20/week. Which was a lie. And contributed to some terrible stereotyping of pple in poverty. Aided austerity, rather than challenging it.
You're right. The lack of due diligence in fact-checking #JackMonroe backstory or whether any of her claims actually held any weight is a shocking indictment on the press.
Rufus Hound blocked me for suggesting that Jack Monroe was not as squeaky clean as people believed. @RalfLittle was also quick to defend the patreon. @Nigella_Lawson was taken in by the lies and, in turn, earned Monroe over £10.000 in a single month. Where are they now? pic.twitter.com/pLyp48i2EU
The above details only “Jack Monroe’s” Patreon “grift”. In addition, the “grifting” fraud also got money from stray donations direct to her, from newspaper interviews, radio, and TV shows and interviews, from “consultancy” “work” for major supermarkets, from well-paid appearances at various festivals and other events, and from book royalties, as well as from fake appeals for money based on non-existent legal actions against Lee Anderson MP and others (monies which “Jack Monroe” then pocketed for her own use). A total of tens of thousands of pounds a month at peak.

🇮🇱Zionist infiltration of our government and institutions is the ONE thing we’re NOT allowed to talk about.
If you do, you risk (in the UK) being prosecuted at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby, eg the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. They have corrupted or otherwise suborned the police and CPS. I myself was recently convicted in the magistrates’ courts by reason of such a prosecution, as regular readers of the blog will know (I may appeal; we shall see).
Incredibly, there are millions of poor saps who believe loonies and/or liars of that sort. If you are told constantly, for example, from age 5 or 7 or 10, or 14, and from all manner of “authoritative” msm and other sources, that millions of Jews were killed during 1941-1944 in “gas chambers” by German SS personnel in Poland, then that idea becomes embedded in your psyche, and stays there until you are, so to speak, “cured” in —usually— later life, whether that be at age 21, 28, 35, 42 or whenever.
They sit there in their armchairs, calling for genocide, while fellow-Jews smile and laugh in the TV studio or elsewhere, yet if anyone in the West posts a comment about them, or a satirical cartoon, they are —or pretend to be— horrified, and equate that to “terrorism”…
Will Esther McVey investigate the Tory MP who claimed £8,750 in expenses for her own personal photographer, while sanctioning 1,000's of disabled people for being a few minutes late for their benefit appointments? Esther?
Esther McVey is merely one of hundreds of “deadhead MPs”. The fact that so many clowns can become MPs and even Cabinet ministers proves, in my judgment, that the whole system is rotten.
Wanting to lower immigration, stop the boats, defend free speech, and defend kids from woke ideology is not "extremist". It's what must people in this country supporthttps://t.co/liUeIhMiRYpic.twitter.com/A2xyXtQcVs
Goodwin is right on those points, but goes very far wrong in persisting in his support for the Israel lobby, aka Jew-Zionist lobby, the very pack that is closing down free speech in the UK, not to mention supporting the migration invasion.
Adam Fleming: Is Rishi Sunak right to say that illegal migration is a risk to the country & we could be overwhelmed?
Stupid “Conservative” drone thinks that about 50,000 migrant-invaders crossing the Channel every year is “not a huge amount“. 1,000 each week. Where does the Government intend to park 1,000 new arrivals each and every week until the year dot (or until the UK explodes)?

Just caught the last bit of Channel 5 news.Stephen Fry will give alternative christmas message,talking about the rise of anti semitism. I think,I'll give it a miss this year as long as he is happy in supporting Netanyahu and the genocide of the Palestinians.
🇷🇺🇺🇦Metropolitan Kirill's speech in Kiev in 2008, it's only been 14 years since this video, but watching Kiev today, someone could thing a century have past.
Ukraine along with Russia were then celebrating the 1020th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia.

“Metropolitan Kyrill of Smolensk addressed the crowd of thousands in Kiev: “What was Russia baptised for? For us to be happy. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus – this is Holy Russia! Holy Russia is not an empire, it is not a union: former or some future one. Holy Russia is an ideal of love, goodness and truth. We are all with you, one Holy Russia! Remain who you are and nothing will shake our unity.“”
I myself once met a Metropolitan of Kiev (the second-ranking dignity in the Russian Orthodox Church). At breakfast. My then girlfriend was looking after him that day (he spoke no English).
I think that that was at the de Vere Hotel by Kensington High Street, and in the early/mid-1980s. Maybe 1983 or 1984. He gave me some of his kefir (the first time I had tried it) and, at the same time, deftly fielded a question from me about his view of Tolstoy. Later that morning, at the empty Russian Orthodox Cathedral (also in Kensington), he gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.
