Well, this week 7/10, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 5, and 8. Question 1 is an embarrassing one, one that I really should have got right, but did not.

Yesterday Donald Trump told Keir Starmer he should use the military to tackle small boat crossings: 59% of Britons agree with the US president
By party Reform: 94% say military should be used Con: 82% Lab: 46% Lib Dem: 41%
Very interesting. Even Labour supporters, and even LibDems, nearly half of them anyway, support a far more forceful protection of borders policy. Nearly all Reform UK supporters want more forceful measures, and they are by far the most numerous (recent polling re. voting intention had Reform on 34%, with Lab and Cons both around 16%).
Sink the boats. It is harsh, yes, but the situation is desperate. 1,000-2,000 of the bastards are invading our country every single day now.
A top people smuggler has said gangs will soon be deploying 18-metre boats to bring even more illegal migrants to Britain
Detention. Sequestration. Concentration. Sterilization. Deportation. Or elimination.
Also, “smuggling” seems hardly the right word, when the invaders are openly sent across the Channel, met just off the French coast by ships of the Royal Navy, Border Force, or degraded RNLI, then escorted to British ports, the invaders meanwhile having been provided with life-jackets.
This is the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan in operation. The deliberate flooding of the UK (and the rest of Europe) with non-Europeans.

I am with Goodwin and Reform UK on that, but Goodwin, Reform, Tice, Farage, Laurence Fox, Katie Hopkins, “Tommy Robinson”, Toby Young, the “Free Speech Union” etc never mention the main subverters and repressors of free speech in this country— the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby.
I oppose both Islamism and Jew-Zionism, but it has to be said that, as far as I know, no extreme Muslim types have tried to close down my blog, or have me prosecuted, or have complained to police, professional (Bar) regulators etc about me. The Jews (Zionist Jews, pro-Israel Jews) have, many times. Mainly the small but (((well-funded))) cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which is run by just a few Jew-Zionists, such as the liar and perjurer Gideon Falter and the liar and one-time serial social media troll —who harassed women online— and whom I call “Slitherman” (the so-called “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” of the “CAA”).
My husband has just said that despite all our efforts we won’t be able to stop it. I disagree. I think we can but everyone must make friends and family aware. Send them YT videos of the 2025 digital ID roll out in China to see what’s in store for the UK and the UK petition…

The new package of EU anti-Russian sanctions will not include restrictions on the purchase of oil from Russia, European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis said:https://t.co/JhpymKI7qbpic.twitter.com/CcGcU7WzcL
The anti-Russia sanctions have the effect of strengthening the Russian economy and society in most, and the most important, ways.
As for oil, the price continues to rise, overall, and Russia thereby benefits, hugely. Much of the war in Ukraine, on both sides, is being paid for by the consumers of Western Europe.

Davey is a joke, the LibDems are a joke party, so naturally the opinion polls think that they will still have 50-100 MPs after the next general election, more than the Cons, and not far short of Labour. They might even end up as the official Opposition in the Commons. A joke party for what, increasingly, is a bad-joke country— and one sliding to civil/social/cultural/racial war.
“Nearly 1,100 illegal migrants arrive in the UK in one DAY as Nigel Farage rages at Starmer’s ‘one in, one out’ deal and claims ‘invasion is getting bigger’“
While I oppose what the Jews are doing in Israel/Palestine/Gaza/West Bank,I cannot see recognizing as a state a concept that is not a state at present is of any use.
British governments have almost always recognized governments and states de facto, i.e. because a government has actual control of a defined area. Britain has only rarely (mainly during the Second World War, in reference to the “governments-in-exile” of occupied Europe, mostly small groups based in London) recognized governments de jure, i.e. on ideological grounds and despite those “governments” having no or little real power on the ground.

Also, there should be reform of this whole outdated and degraded “KC” stuff.
In the 1920s, only a few (3 or 4) KCs were granted “letters patent” annually. Back then, to be “KC” really meant something. Today, almost everyone and his dog sports the “KC” label:
“In 1959, there were 181 practising Queen’s Counsel. Between 1966 and 1970, the number of practising QCs increased from 208 to 262. Wikipedia states that this number continued to grow, reaching 404 in 1978 and 601 in 1989.
From 1991 to 2000, the number of practising QCs steadily rose from 736 to 1072. In 1995, 71 QCs were appointed.
In 2006, 175 QCs were appointed out of 443 applicants. 33 of these were women, 10 were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and 4 were solicitors.
Between 1995 and 2023, data shows fluctuation in appointments, ranging from 60 in 1998 to 175 in 2006.
In 2021, 101 KCs (previously QCs) were appointed, including five solicitors.
In 2023 and 2022, 95 KCs were appointed in each year.
In 2024, 95 new KCs were appointed.
In 2025, 105 KCs were appointed, representing the biggest cohort in four years.
Efforts are ongoing to increase diversity among KC appointees, with the Bar Council actively encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and tracking statistics on women, ethnic minority lawyers, and those with disabilities.“

The “KC” label is now almost worthless, though of course merely being a barrister is even less valuable…

[“A significant number of British and English people are spontaneously “raising the colours” —flying Union Jack and St George’s Flags on their streets and outside their homes This should be seen for what it is —an act of resistance against mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, the decision by politicians to house illegal migrants in the heart of their communities, and the loss of their national identity. The English philosopher Sir Roger Scruton once said “the English are reluctant to display their identity — reluctant to sing their national anthem, to wave their flag, or to affirm their nationhood … But the cost of this reluctance is the steady erosion of something precious —a shared first-person plural.” What he meant by that was the erosion of a “we” —the erosion of a community, an identity, a home. And this is precisely what millions of British and English people now feel, even if many do not yet want to say it out loud—that we are losing a very precious sense of “we”. Mass immigration, open borders, a state policy of multiculturalism that prioritises minorities over the majority, cultural fragmentation, and an aggressive globalism that wants you to believe the only thing that defines people from these islands is not our own distinctive identity, culture, and history but merely welcoming others and celebrating “diversity” … all this has left many people feeling utterly bewildered, lost, demoralised, and in a place that no longer looks or feels like home. This is why some people in Britain and England, on streets like the one below, are “raising the colours”. By flying their flags they are letting us all know that they do exist, they do belong, they do have a home, and there is a “we” they want to reassert and protect, no matter how much the elite class want them and you to think otherwise.“]

I’ve kept a very balanced view, sympathy for all sides, always fighting anti-semitism hard but Israel has gone way too far and if you’re standing by that, you’ve lost your way, precious few Israelis are. Israel & Netanyahu are fuelling anti-semitism not girls with leukaemia. If you cannot take a balanced view I don’t want your follow anyway.

Unpleasantness ran and runs right though “New Labour”, and Starmer-Labour is just a pointless, meaningless offshoot of Blair-Brown “New Labour”.
Bastani is right, of course, about the appallingly-low quality of MPs. Since 1997 and, particularly, 2010 (and as often said by me on the blog), that fact is inescapable. Not just in fake Labour though; also true of the fake “Conservative” Party, and fake “Liberal Democrat” Party (remember Jo Swinson?).
Reform UK is “controlled opposition”, of course, but is moving the Overton Window. When that has moved far enough, social nationalism can enter the arena.
Blast from the past: the “Mrs Duffy” moment in 2010
Mrs Duffy, uneducated, “ignorant” etc, knew far more than “educated” fake “big brain”, globalist puppet Gordon Brown. In the past 15 years, her superior understanding of the mass immigration crisis (if not put in a very polished way, so be it) still resonates —in fact, more than even in 2010— whereas Gordon Brown is just a washed-up System politician now exposed as far from the great mind he (and his tendentious wife/carer/psychiatric nurse) thought.
Aaron Bastani is far from my position, ideologically. Having said that, he often speaks the truth as he sees it.
Both Lab and Con parties, the main two System parties, are losing all credibility; the LibDems, as “dustbin” or “default alternative” party, never had much to lose.
Trump, and Trump’s White House
Of course, it is easy to see the Trump White House as a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, looking at recent tweets etc (see below)
Elon Musk's son tells Trump, “You’re not the President and you need to go away” pic.twitter.com/z3e09vbXBL
Looks as though Musk should have a word with the child’s nanny. The child seems short on good manners. (I have to admit that it made me laugh, though; look at Trump’s expression!).
Very odd. Where did the child hear that, to regurgitate it?
That scene really does seem mad, disorderly.
On the other hand, until Trump took over, the international situation, and several regional issues, seemed stuck in glacial mud. He has disrupted that pattern. As psychologists say, a “pattern-interrupt”.
It may seem absurd to want to buy Greenland, annex Canada, and turn the Jew-Zionist-devastated Gazan hellscape into a Mediterranean beach resort, but all of those ideas have at least made people think about alternative realities.
To compare Trump’s disruptive ideas to the campaigns of Alexander the Great may seem to stretch “first time tragedy, second time farce“, in the famous comment of Marx, to breaking point, but history is sometimes moved by ideas that seemed absurd.
Look at the state of Israel itself. When Herzl and others first came up with the idea of Israel as a state, they were just a few Jews in the lower strata of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. Their ideas seemed crazed, and they themselves had no genuine ancestral link to Palestine, which was then one of the poorer provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Also, the Ottoman Empire might have been “the sick man of Europe” but it sat there, apparently immovable in its vast power.
Is Trump trying to make his Gaza plan (“Club Trump?) seem more credible by hiding it among even crazier-seeming plans? One thinks of stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and E.W. Hornung.
Where do you hide a pebble? On a beach. Where do you hide a murder? Among other apparently-similar murders. Where do you, as a fugitive person, hide? Not in isolated places but in a big city. So where do you hide your plan to seize Gaza? Among other apparently-mad plans.
A paranoid analysis, possibly; also, though, possibly, accurate.
Trump cannot realistically seize Canada. He cannot, either, seize Greenland, not without smashing NATO to pieces. He could, however, take over Gaza. The Israelis (quelle surprise) seem open to the idea. After all, from where would come most if not all inhabitants of the proposed Club Trump, Club Gaza? Israel, of course, or Jew-Zionist settlers from places such as New York City.
“Greater Israel”, in some form, seems more than a mere “conspiracy theory”.
When Trump was serving out his first term, this blog described him as “a loudly-squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by a phalanx of Jews“, and that remains broadly the case, but perhaps less so in this second term. Trump no longer needs the Jewish lobby or Israel lobby for political purposes, though he would not want to make an enemy of them either, whether for political or business reasons.
Trump may be thinking in terms of “legacy”, especially after the assassination attempt(s).
Looks as though Trump is also determined to bring an end to the war in and around Ukraine. He must know that the quickest way to do that is to restrict or stop money, arms, and ammunition flowing to the Kiev regime.
That “charity” was set up by Rory Stewart himself. His wife was an employee of his prior to their marriage. I believe that she was married or engaged to someone else at the time. She is half-Jewish, I believe. See also:
My assessment of Stewart, published in 2019 and updated over the years, has proven to be fairly popular with readers. He himself is part-Jew, incidentally, a fact of which I admit I was unaware until an alert blog reader sent information (read the published assessment).
As for Stewart’s wife and that “artwork” etc, funny how “they” are always around when degenerate influences are promoted.

As soon as the money/arms/ammunition tap is shut off, or the flow reduced to a trickle, the Kiev regime will just implode. “Ukraine” is not a real state at all.
Full quote: “I welcome what the Minster has said from the despatch box. Can I ask the Minister if she agrees with me that in this new world, and in the event of any peace deal, that the United Kingdom and its European allies must lead in providing Ukraine with military support…
It always looks ludicrous when “British” politicians of today try to play the “war leader and statesman” card, even when they have some underwhelming “military experience”; neither Sunak nor Starmer have any at all. Neither, of course, has Maria Eagle, a former solicitor best known as MP for having been an expenses cheat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Eagle#Expenses_controversy].
Maria Eagle is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, of course.
Look and learn. When “they” have power, as in Russia/Soviet Union after the Bolshevik “Revolution” (coup d’etat).
If some of the Palestinian Arabs sometimes do monstrous things, as on the day or two before the Israeli attack on Gaza in 2023, it is because they have been made monstrous by, mainly, Jewish/Israeli behaviour.
That might translate into a Commons with 276 Reform UK MPs! Also, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] 139 Lab, 108 Con, 59 LibDem, 4 green, 40 SNP; 24 others.
Still no majority (50 short), but I imagine that, under those circumstances, some Con MPs would defect, and others support ad hoc.
Were Reform to be able to get even one extra point, to 30%, then, even with other figures unchanged, its MP cadre would be around 298 (Lab 129, Con 95, LibDem 60).
Were Reform on 30% and Cons a point lower than in the opinion poll, i.e. on 20%, Reform would have 318 MPs, 8 short of a majority but with very close to a working majority. The Cons, though would have only 75 MPs.
For the long-established Conservative Party, effectively terminal. Not even the official Opposition. Maybe not even the third party.
Tim Montgomerie has recently opined that the Conservative Party might be expiring; for once, I agree with him. Or does he, belatedly, agree with me?
Fake “Labour” will decline but not so far or so fast, because about 20%, maybe more, of the electorate is now black/brown, and that percentage will increase inexorably, because few white/British children are being born. Virtually all the births now are from the ethnic minorities (who, within half a century, will certainly be the majority, unless action is taken to prevent that). They all vote Labour; at least 90% of them do.
Opinion polls suggest that among those aged 18-24, only about 5%, if that, vote Conservative; about 80% vote Labour. Who are those young voters? Largely, the non-whites.
So today we learn GDP-per-person down again in Britain. Why? Because all that mass low-skill, low-wage immigration is not making us more prosperous and productive as experts promised. On the contrary, it’s making us poorer and eroding living standards https://t.co/bH1j3G70WM
As the Dad’s Army character used to say (about inserting cold steel into the fuzzie-wuzzies) “they don’t like it up them!“
Rory Stewart, as “Conservative” Party MP, voted for all the mean-spirited social-security/”welfare” cuts of the 2010-2015 Cameron-Levita misgovernment. Now his (or his wife’s, which is effectively the same) far more generous “welfare” has been cut back, it’s all unfair and wrong, apparently.
Ha ha…

In reality, everything that has been happening in all parts of occupied Palestine relates to the plan to settle immigrant Jews everywhere, then to expand Israeli Lebensraum and to create, over time, a “Greater Israel”:
“It’s not hard to figure out why Reform is now surging in the polls.
Millions of hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding people in this country are utterly frustrated & fed-up with the elite consensus that has been imposed on them from above for the last 30 years.
An elite consensus that’s defined by a deliberate and extreme policy of mass, uncontrolled immigration which is making us poorer not richer, is driving crime and ushering in millions of people from culturally inferior and incompatible nations.
An elite consensus that’s given us broken borders which make a mockery of our claim to be a self-governing, sovereign nation, are allowing an assortment of murderers, rapists and criminals onto our streets, and which our so-called “leaders” refuse to fix because they’re more interested in helping strangers than protecting their own citizens and children.
An elite consensus that’s ripped open our economy to a rampant and relentless globalisation that benefits an alliance of urban elites, global corporations and immigrant workers but which is smashing the working class apart and hollowing out our national economy.
And an elite consensus that would rather see Britain waste billions of £££ overseas each year on foreign aid and trying to maintain our failing asylum system than redirect all this money from British taxpayers into fixing Britain and helping British families before reaching out to the wider world.
For much of the last thirty years this broken consensus has been imposed on the Forgotten Majority in this country by both Left and Right, by both Labour and the Tories —by the Uniparty. They are the architects of the disaster that you see around you today, of the managed decline of a once great and proud nation that you used to know and love but today no longer recognise.
And so just as you’d never invite back an architect who took the home that had been loved for generations and destroyed it the people out there are now starting to reject the architects of what they see around them today —endless, unavoidable, embarrassing, never-ending national decline.
They might not think Nigel Farage has all the answers. They might not think Reform is the perfect vessel. But what unites them is a feeling that is far more powerful than any one leader or party can convey. “We want our country back”.
This is why we are now starting to see wholesale and historic change in the national polls and, soon, the country. Because what I think we might be about to witness in British politics is not just a revolt against an out-of-touch elite minority but a full scale revolution against the Uniparty and all that it stands for.”

“‘No medical evidence’ to support Lucy Letby’s conviction, expert panel finds.
Babies the former nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering were in fact the victims of “bad medical care” or deteriorated as a result of natural causes, an expert panel has concluded.
Outlining what the senior Conservative MP David Davis described as “one of worst injustices of recent times”, the international team told a press conference there was “no medical evidence” to support claims of deliberate harm.
A panel of experts, chaired by Dr Shoo Lee, examined the cases of 17 babies whom Letby was charged with murdering or harming at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England.
Lee, an emeritus professor at the University of Toronto, saidsaid the 14 experts had found “so many problems with the medical care” of the babies and nothing to support the claim they were attacked. “In summary, ladies and gentlemen, we did not find any murders,” he told a press conference in Westminster on Tuesday.”
[Guardian]
I personally have no fixed opinion at all on the matter (and have not read up on it in any great detail), but the way that the NHS now is, I do find it impossible to ignore the possibility that the unfortunate babies in question were not murdered but simply died as a result of poor care.
Also, if the Lucy Letby convictions turn out to have been unsafe, it would not be the first time that events triggering huge public anger will have also resulted in egregious miscarriages of justice.
David Davis has courage. He would have made a far better leader of the Conservative Party than any who actually were elected in the past 25-30 years.
Britain has no proper governance, whether central or local.

Trump is promulgating tariffs on imports from a range of countries and blocs presently major trading partners with the USA. Canada and the EU, to name but two. China, too.
As many are pointing out, tariffs reduce trade, because they make imported goods (and/or services) more expensive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff.
Looked at from a different point of view, there are reasons why Trump’s tariff barriers might be positive for the USA, mainly because they might allow American industry, in decline for half a century, to revive.
“The tariff has been used as a political tool to establish an independent nation; for example, the United States Tariff Act of 1789, signed specifically on July 4, was called the “Second Declaration of Independence” by newspapers because it was intended to be the economic means to achieve the political goal of a sovereign and independent United States.[93]“
[Wikipedia].
In the short-term, Trump’s tariff’s may well cause domestic prices (within the USA) to inflate. In the longer-term, however, those tariffs may also create American jobs, and also increase America’s long-term security.
The USA is one of the few economies capable of being an autarky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarky]. Others would be Russia and mainland Europe (the EU, presently).
There is little doubt, though, that in those countries that produce items exported to the USA, the Trump tariffs will cause economic damage, possibly severe damage. That in turn will cause political fallout.
The USA is a huge and vibrant economy. If turned inward, that may be able to create the prosperity and job security so lacking at present in many American communities. The USA should have been isolationist in the 1940s and afterwards, as it had been in the 1930s. It seems to me that that would be a good policy now for the USA. Economic isolationism allied to political isolationism.
The USA should build up purely defensive military and naval power, but avoid doing what it has done, particularly, since 1941, i.e. interfere all over the world. If that is done, American security will thereby be increased.

Impact of Trump's Tariff Trade War on Reducing US Economic Dependence on China
According to Bloomberg research, since the start of Trump's trade war with tariffs against China, China's share of US imports has fallen by 40% from 22% to 14% between 2018 and 2024.
Even GE 2024 Labour voters do not trust Labour. Only 45% think that Labour can be trusted to fulfil whatever it has promised!
I am thinking that a goodly proportion of Labour voters at GE 2024 were only Labour voters because that seemed the best way of kicking out the Conservative Party at the time.
As to the GE 2024 Reform UK voters, 76% of them think that Reform can be trusted. That, of course, has never been put to the test, because Reform has never had any political power.
Digging slightly deeper, 76% of GE 2024 Conservative voters think that the Con Party can be trusted (to my mind, remarkable, looking at the 14 years of lies, incompetence, mass migration invasion etc that preceded GE 2024). Well, in any event, of those who voted, only <24% voted Conservative, and only three-quarters of those now trust the party for which they voted. I imagine that most of those still on board are elderly or very elderly.
Labour is in a worse position yet. Of those who voted at GE 2024, only 33% voted Labour, and less than half of those voters now trust Labour (very understandably).

As for that peculiar-looking young woman, Marianna Spring, before she became the face of BBC disinformation she committed a fraud by inventing details on her CV to try to get a job. She was found out, but still (later) hired by the BBC as its “truth verification” person! You really could not make it up!
Looking at her, I think that she must be (((the usual))) or partly so.
Whatever the truth of that, she must somehow “know the right persons”.

Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson getting the law wrong (again)…
On a wider point, that whole traditional rank of “King’s Counsel” or KC should be done away with. Outdated, and now all but meaningless. As an ordinary barrister from 1991 (in practice from 1993) to 1996, and then from 2002-2008, I encountered QCs (as they then were) in court a number of times, and did OK against them quite a lot of the time, if I say so myself. Sometimes they won, sometimes I won.
I believe that about 1 in 6 of practising barristers are now “KC”. In the past, particularly before the Second World War, the proportion was far smaller, partly because those in a position to recommend and/or make the decision were more selective; partly, also, because there were fewer applications, and that was partly because a “KC” then usually had to “lead” a junior (non-KC) barrister, and so cost the lay client 2x, sometimes 3x or more, in fees. Some took silk only to find that they became far less busy. These days, not only does a KC often appear alone, but in some cases even unattended by a solicitor.
I believe that I recall from the memoirs of Lord Denning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Denning,_Baron_Denning] that when he “took silk” (became a KC), in 1938, there were only 4 such “letters patent” granted that year, including his own. In 2024, no less than 100 persons became “KC” (5 honorary only, 95 ordinary).
Of course, in recent decades, arguably starting in the early 1990s, the pernicious influence of “political correctness” (now often termed “woke-ness”) has had its effect; it has never been admitted that the Bar now has some King’s Counsel appointed at least partly by reason of their “ethnic” background, but that such is the case is the opinion of not a few (including me).
Well, there it is.
As to Lord Denning, in his day, he was the most popular judge among the public; arguably the only popular judge, as well as the one with the most name-recognition. Opinion among barristers was less unmixed, though few if any would dispute his very great ability.
I saw Lord Denning up close only once or twice, notably when hurrying to the Library at Lincoln’s Inn in the early 1990s. My chambers were in the Inn at the time, and I was also a member of the Inn then (I was much later —2017— expelled, as an automatic consequence of my politically-procured disbarment of 2016).
I pushed open the very heavy oakwood Library door and missed, by only an inch or two, knocking over Lord Denning, who must have been about 94 (b.1899). I recall that he did not flinch, and smiled benignly as I held open the door for him.
[Lincoln’s Inn Library]
Incidentally, just now looking at Wikipedia’s article on Denning, I see that, by 1936 (2 years before he took silk), his income was some £3,000 a year (arguably worth about £200,000 in the money of today, and income tax was far lower in 1936). Impressive, but the leading silk of the day, Birkett, at about that time had an income of £25,000 (between £1.5M and £2M today).
By comparison, in that era, domestic staff in a large country house might receive between £100 a year (kitchen maid) to £250-£500 a year (chief gamekeeper, or for a valued chief cook or butler in a great household). Of course, most were fed, clothed, and given accommodation as well.
Still, Denning, in the mid-1930s, was making about 10x the income of a head gamekeeper, and perhaps 30x the income of a kitchen maid. Birkett, on a fee-income of between £25,000 and £40,000 a year, was making as much as ten times even those figures! Several millions a year, in 2024 money.
Social history. Interesting.
I see that, when Denning was made a High Court judge in 1944, his salary was set at £7,000, perhaps £300,000-£400,000 in today’s money, so rather more than High Court judges now get (around £225,000; and income tax is higher today).

So why was the bastard even here in the UK? Nothing in the Daily Mail report (of course). Looks Somali, but nothing in that very poor report about the origin or background of the criminal.
The Daily Mail “journalist” also describes the untermensch in question as having been “homeless” at the time that he killed the victim, but then goes on to say that the defendant drove away, went shopping after the attack, and then returned to his home!
No indication in that report as to why the defendant was even in the country. Nothing about the savage having a job, either, yet here the bastard is, in the UK, and with a home and a car, at that. Oh, and he had enough money to buy cocaine, apparently.
At least he thought to buy food for his cat, as it seems. I hope that the cat was not made homeless.

Incidentally, those British newspapers’ colour magazines of the early 1970s were on a different level of quality vis a vis the weekend supplements seen today; that applied especially to the Daily Telegraph one, which I think came out on Fridays. Real reportage on matters of importance and/or interest, not recipes, makeup, gossip, chick-lit and similar rubbish.

“Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to almost 53% in the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, offering the first hard evidence of how the far-right libertarian’s tough austerity measures are hitting the population.
Since taking office in December, the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” – who campaigned with a chainsaw in hand to symbolise the cuts he would make – has slashed public spending in an effort to tame chronic inflation and eliminate the budget deficit.
His administration has frozen pensions, reduced aid to soup kitchens, cut welfare programmes and stopped all public works projects. Tens of thousands of public employees have been fired, reduced energy and transportation subsidies have pushed costs up, and purchasing power has eroded.
Kirsten Sehnbruch, an expert on Latin America at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said she had never seen such a large jump in poverty rates. “This new economic programme is not protecting the poor,” she said. “The jump is absolutely horrendous.”
Milei’s cuts, however, have been cheered by markets, investors and the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owes $43bn. Monthly inflation has also decreased from about 26% in December to about 4% in June, where it has remained, although annual inflation still remains one of the highest in the world, exceeding 230%.
María Claudia Albornoz, a community worker from Santa Fe, said the government had “provoked a situation of desperation”. “We are feeling it in the fridge, empty and unplugged. Money is really worth absolutely nothing. We have three jobs and it is not enough,” she said.
While Milei’s popularity ratings have remained high, public support now appears to be waning. A survey published on Monday found a drop of almost 15% in September, the steepest fall during his nine-month administration. Recent polls have found that worries about inflation have been overtaken by fears of job loss and poverty.
Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said that economic decline was inevitable when controlling inflation, and pointed to similar historic crises in Brazil and Bolivia, but questioned whether Milei’s changes will work.
“For a county that has historically prided itself on being a middle-class nation, this poverty rate is terribly painful,” Sabatini said.“
