Boy, 15, walks free from court despite battering David Quigley, 69, who was left with a brain bleed and died three weeks later.

Britain in 2023.

How long will it be before British people generally understand that we are in the opening stages of a multiform civil war? Not a race war, as such, and not just a traditional civil war based on ideology, but a hybrid type, encompassing both of those and also social aspects.

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

I agree with that.

The “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” set up dozens, possibly hundreds, of Twitter “sock accounts” many years ago, and has continued to do so. Some look like genuine accounts with a few even having a couple of hundred Twitter “followers”. They praise “Jack Monroe”, her non-existent “activism”, and her ghastly “recipes” such as mixing tinned peaches with chickpeas and curry powder to make a kind of pseudo-Indian dinner. Mahashma Gandhi?

The aim of “Jack Monroe” is to try to keep her name appearing online for something other than cheating the less-intelligent members of the public out of their money.

Incidentally, as of today, 397 utter mugs are still sending “Jack Monroe” a total of thousands of pounds each month, via Patreon.

My provisional view is that the System set up GB News as “controlled opposition”, meaning that it was supposed to act as a safety valve by blowing off steam (public anger) at various issues, but (crucially) avoiding “antisemitism”. Look at who set it up as first Chairman— Andrew Neil.

Having said that, I think that it has spiralled out of System control to some extent. That is what happens. Look at Father Gapon in the St. Petersburg of 1905. The fake “resistance” sometimes mutates into real resistance.

The public were supposed to be bamboozled by GB News, but by some quasi-divine grace, the just anger of the public has, to some limited extent, taken over GB News presenters and agendas.

Then stop wasting money on useless projects such as HS2.

“Jack Monroe” latest

I am not a doctor but, in my layman’s view at least, “Jack Monroe” is a type of psychopath not unknown in psychiatric literature: relentless, and likely to “double down” on her lies even after they have been comprehensively exposed as lies.

The “sue Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney” “grift” has been typical. She crowdfunded to sue them (ostensibly). She never in fact had a case, because their (I agree) defamatory (as innuendo) statements saying that “Jack Monroe” “lived off the backs of the poor” etc were, in a word, true. They were true statements (though possibly simply “mere insult”, and not actionable). Anderson and Daubney therefore had a complete defence of “truth”, even leaving aside fair comment, honest opinion etc, and the “mere insult” point. Also, had the matter gone to trial, “Jack Monroe” would have been required to disclose at least the outline of her financial affairs. She could never allow that.

It is noteworthy that the Jew lawyer, Mark Lewis, who had conduct of the libel case brought by “Jack Monroe” against Katie Hopkins years ago (a case impossible to lose; Ms. Hopkins was in the wrong, was possibly badly advised, and should have eaten crow a bit, and settled at an early stage), has in the past year not even emerged from his kennel re. “Jack Monroe”.

Lewis, now resident mainly in Israel, does not take on cases certain to fail (because he would then make no money).

It always looked like “Jack Monroe” had simply kept the “sue Lee Anderson” monies, and I shall believe that (as with her previous scams) that is exactly what happened in this case, unless and until I see at least plausible proof to the contrary.

“Jack Monroe” now simply “doubles down” and says “I could have won against Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney, but chose not to“! Stunning mendacity. The sad thing is that a great many of the mug followers of “Jack Monroe” will actually believe it.

Meanwhile, “Jack Monroe” is also claiming that her house on the South Essex coast has been besieged by large numbers of reporters and members of the public. Completely untrue, as far as I know.

That in turn has excited many of her mentally-unstable supporters, as with “David Salt (backing all strikes)” here below:

[6 July 2023 update: the David Salt tweeter has changed the name]

[28 October 2024 update: “”Oliver McGurn/@davidsalt2001” may have deleted his tweet, which read “I’d love to meet some of these people Jack, I’m not a violent person but I make an impact! Sending you hugs xx.” What a total idiot— presumably what is now, apparently, termed a “neckbeard”…].

Oddly enough, my blog received a semi-threatening comment (not published, and the sender blocked, of course) recently by a troll calling itself “No Name” and referencing my comments about “Jack Monroe” appearing on BBC Question Time (don’t they vet guests at all?) . I rather suspect that “No Name” was “Jack Monroe”. If not, one of her crazed supporters. Still, I am fair-minded, and it may have been just another mentally-disturbed Jew-Zionist.

I read, late last year, that a black woman in Bristol was awaiting Crown Court trial for crowdfunding for legal costs and then keeping the money for her own personal use. How is this different?

Then of course there is a long list of other “Jack Monroe” frauds, scams, and lies. Too many to repeat here.

[Update, 2 December 2023: well, the said black woman has been imprisoned for fraud but it seems that “Jack Monroe” grifts on regardless and with impunity, despite —as far as I can see— having done the same or similar: see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-67272603, and https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/31/edward-colston-statue-protest-bristol-xahra-saleem-fundraiser:

A key organiser of the protest in Bristol during which a statue of the slave trader Edward Colston was toppled and dumped in the city’s harbour has been jailed for two and a half years for fraud.

Xahra Saleem, 23, admitted using more than £30,000 that was supposed to go to a charity for disadvantaged youngsters in the city to fund her lifestyle, including spending almost £6,000 on Uber rides.

…it took place soon after she had moved to Bristol and was living away from her family for the first time. At the time she had been taking drugs and drinking to excess. She also had mental health issues. He said there was little or no planning in what she did and she spent the money foolishly.

Over a 15-month period, she spent the funds on rent, an iPhone, iMac, purchases on Amazon, hair and beauty appointments, takeaways and Uber rides.

She made a string of false excuses about why she was not handing the money over to the charity – including that Black Lives Matters had advised her not to – but in the summer of 2021 admitted the money had gone.

[The Guardian]

How is that different from what “Jack Monroe” has done?]

My own impression, reading her tweets, and having seen her on TV once or twice, is that “Jack Monroe” is a dangerous woman, and one who, in other circumstances, might have been a more conventional type of criminal, or even worse.

Ha. Very true. I have never read or heard “Jack Monroe” say anything at all interesting, as far as I can recall. Maybe that is because, for her, everything revolves around her, and around her basically very limited world.

As far as I know, “Jack Monroe” rarely if ever travels beyond the UK or nearby countries such as the Netherlands, and exhibits no interest in a wider world of culture, politics, or the environment. She lives in a little —mainly London/Essex— bubble, and does not even drive a car. Maybe just as well, in view of her (supposedly past) problems with alcohol and (it is sometimes alleged) drugs.

As far as I can see, she has a very low level of education and culture, though admittedly that is concealed to some extent by a superficial glibness.

I wonder how she would score on the psychopathy test scale? My guess— off the scale.

“Grifter” and fraudster “Jack Monroe” still making empty threats, this time against Lee Anderson (again).

Sadly naive of that NHS mental health nurse, one “M Holland”.

[Update, 2 December 2023: the M. Holland tweet is now deleted or hidden].

The fact is that some people have mentally “bought into” “Jack Monroe” the way others have bought into “Covid”, the facemask nonsense, Greta Nut, Extinction Rebellion etc. Facts simply irritate them.

Ha ha! Hard to believe that there are mugs taking that sort of “Jack Monroe” nonsense as if it is really clever, as in “let’s keep our weekly shopping bill below £20 by simply…using up what we already have in the kitchen“!… It’s like something from a TV sitcom about gormless students or something.

Even harder to believe that (on paper) quite a few “Jack Monroe” supporters have (whatever they may now be worth) “degrees”, and professional qualifications in a few cases. As noted previously, few are under 50, few if any are from ethnic minorities (who presumably would never eat “Jack Monroe” swill-food), and few if any are, in a word, poor…

The mentality of “Jack Monroe” supporters is hard to fathom. “Blockheads” hardly covers it.

There is more to this than “Tories” supporting their own. “Boris” Johnson was an almost ideal NWO/ZOG candidate for Prime Minister— part-Jew, part-Muslim origins, born in New York City, brought up in the USA, Belgium etc before taking on “Brit” camouflage via Eton and Oxford.

Pro-mass-immigration. Obsessed with making money. Even more importantly, with not the slightest loyalty to anyone or anything, let alone Britain and its people, and willing to do anything for fame, money and (very much third in line) power. Uninterested in making the lives of British people better. Uninterested in stopping the migration invasion.

Quis custodiet custodes ipsos?

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/showbiz/jack-monroe-says-absolute-hell-27134514

The above newspaper report from an outlet called Wales Online has been the only newspaper, online or offline, to have reported today on “Jack Monroe”. It has done no investigation and simply reports what “Jack Monroe” has chosen to tell it. As journalism, on the lowest possible level of quality beyond actually inventing a story.

The Wales Online “report” mentions that “Jack, who is from Southend-on-Sea, was met with numerous messages of support” on Twitter (and quotes from three tweets) but ignores the dozens if not hundreds of tweets which, today alone, have been critical of “Jack Monroe” and her years of “grifting” and fraud.

Very poor. Written by one Sam Cook, who is described as follows: “Sam is our TV writer and showbiz journalist. Prior to working at WalesOnline, he was previously a video journalist and presenter at Local TV. Over the course of his career, Sam has interviewed several big stars including Michael Sheen, Jodie Whittaker and David Walliams. He is a member of the RTS Cymru Wales committee and currently hosts the podcast, In the Spotlight, for WalesOnline.

Rock-bottom-level scribbling.

Is “Wales Online TV reporter Sam Cook” somehow acquainted with “Jack Monroe”, apart from this “interview” (if I dignify it with such a term)?

Actually, rereading his piece, it seems to be not even just a one-sided and very poor interview, but simply a retelling of “Jack Monroe’s” own tweets, lifted straight from Twitter and then presented, superficially, as if the scribbler has had an interview with her.

Having said that, I am more interested in the fact that, despite “Jack Monroe” claiming that reporters from “Fleet Street” were ringing her doorbell (in Essex) and looking in the windows, i.e. more or less besieging her house, to the extent that she and her son (who may not even live with her anyway; that seems to be disputed) have had to flee elsewhere, not one major news outlet has reported on “Jack Monroe” today. Not one. Not even the Press pack tabloids such as the Daily Mail or Sun.

More “Jack Monroe” lies…

The “Laurie Leebody” tweeter is not atypical of Twitter virtue-signallers, who express opinions despite knowing nothing of the subject-matter.

The weird thing about the whole Lee Anderson/Jack Monroe situation from the point of view of the Twitterati reaction is that hundreds of tweeters expressed disgust at “30p Lee’s” claim that he could make some kind of meal for 30p, yet the same idiotic Twitter-types fawn over “Jack Monroe” and her claim to be able to undercut Lee Anderson and make something for as little as 11p! (both claims seem, to me, to be from Alice in Wonderland home economics).

11p? That’s one or two slices of decent bread (no butter), or a tenth (?) of a packet of cheap pasta (disregarding the cost of cooking it).

Frankly, I doubt whether anything approaching a decent feed can be had for less than, say, 50p, and that would be something like a tin of cheap sardines on toast. Not too bad, though, I suppose.

Tweeter “Liz Ward” is typical of a certain Twitter type. See how she jumps into an existing conversation, insults someone who has noted the lies and scams of “Jack Monroe”, then threatens —stupidly— to “report” tweeter “Reiltin” for “harassment“. A very stupid woman, evidently. Look at her Twitter heading: pro-trade unions (which are a dead letter now), pro-“Black Lives Matter” (i.e. socio-politically idiotic) and pro-NHS (as I am, in principle, but it is not working as presently constituted).

Seems that tweeter “Reiltin” thought that “Liz Ward” is just another “Jack Monroe” “sock account”. Maybe; she has hundreds.

“Jack Monroe” is quite obviously now very frightened of having to undergo cross-examination in court, whether by Counsel, a solicitor, or a judge (a judge has the right to ask questions of any witness, though most judges most of the time exercise that right sparingly). “Jack Monroe” is in that respect rather like some of the Jew-Zionists who have targeted me in the past (and continue to do so). They are afraid to testify against me because afraid of what will come out about them.

One “Ian Cameron”, another “Jack Monroe” “white knight”…

I myself have never seen proof of any “death threats” to “Jack Monroe”. That’s just another key on her scam-piano, along with “mental health”, “other health problems”, “her child” (apparently usually lives elsewhere anyway), “activism” (occasional anti-“Tory” tweets), fake/invented “Vimes Boots Index”, “costs of moving house” etc.

You can see how easy it is for people such as “Ian Cameron” to be fooled, totally played, yet that fellow probably considers himself educated, intelligent etc. Look how poor are his reasoning skills.

Thus it is that, as of today, 412 utter mugs are still signed up to Patreon, each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 a month…a “nice little earner”, in the argot of South Essex.

Short and sweet…and convincing.

Why is “Jack Monroe” not being interviewed by Essex Police about her fraudulent activities? Are they too busy seizing “racist” teddy bears?

As I said. See above.

Statement

As regular readers will know, I am now, once again, the target of a malicious and politically-motivated attack, this time a prosecution, instigated by the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a very small but well-funded group of fanatical Zionist Jews.

I made a statement about this previously; see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/05/29/diary-blog-29-may-2023/.

I now see that there have been a couple of tweets inaccurately stating that I am to be tried this month. Not so. Any trial (if one is actually held at all) will be held in November or December 2023, or possibly even in 2024. In the interim period, there will be at least one brief and purely procedural hearing.

A nuisance, of course, but since the latest malicious attempt was publicized (by the “CAA” goblins themselves, on Twitter and on their website), there has been an increase in the readership of this blog. Silver lining?

Nadine Dorries and the Mid-Bedfordshire constituency

I was considering the Nadine Dorries situation.

At present, Nadine Dorries remains MP for the constituency of Mid-Bedfordshire. She most recently, in 2019, was re-elected with nearly 60% of the vote, and had previously usually achieved over 50%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_Bedfordshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

A safe Conservative Party seat, which she has represented since 2005, and which has been good to her— good salary, hugely-inflated expenses, time out to appear on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here for a very large fee, and to write about a dozen cheap novels.

She was able to employ at least two of her three daughters on very inflated salaries (via MP expenses) and has been investigated several times by the police. On at least one occasion, the file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration for prosecution. However, she has wriggled out of trouble every time.

Now, having announced her immediate resignation [see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65910896], Nadine Dorries has not in fact done what is necessary, i.e. to apply, notionally, for “an office of profit under the Crown“, usually either “Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds” or “Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead”.

The delay is plainly because Nadine Dorries was, or so she claims, offered a peerage by the former Prime Minister, Johnson, which offer is now worthless. That she was offered a peerage was apparently the case; her nomination for a peerage was one of those deleted from the list, supposedly by decision of Rishi Sunak.

It seems clear to me that Nadine Dorries announced her “resignation” because she was sure of getting a well-paid sinecure as a “baroness” in the Lords— ~£350 a day without any need even to pretend to do anything for it, plus well-subsidized and palatial surroundings in which to meet people, network etc.

In theory, Nadine Dorries could hang on as MP until the next General Election, getting the salary, the expenses etc, while doing nothing. Perhaps she will.

Nadine Dorries was only too happy to jettison the loyal —and possibly stupid— voters of Mid-Bedfordshire. Unsurprising. As soon as her then-husband and father of her children developed multiple sclerosis, she (in effect) abandoned him, after 23 years of marriage: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries#Personal_life.

I was just comparing Nadine Dorries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Dorries] with the MP, Stephen Hastings, who held the seat from 1960 to 1983: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hastings.

Hastings’ biography includes Sandhurst, and WW2 action with the Scots Guards, the early SAS, and the shambolic but certainly sometimes courageous SOE, later followed by 12 years with SIS/MI6.

Naturally, Hastings was born with a silver spoon compared to Nadine Dorries. No argument. Eton, Sandhurst, the expectation and inheritance of several large, or arguably even great estates. Financially, and in terms of useful connections, he had it far easier than Nadine Dorries, born into relative poverty in Liverpool.

All the same, which of the two really would be better as MP?

In fact, that sort of decline in standards has happened across the board since about 1989. Compare Jo Grimond, for example, with Jo Swinson. Both Liberal/LibDem leaders, but what a contrast! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Grimond; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Swinson.

Again, one was born into affluence, indeed into riches, and never had to struggle financially, but the point is which of the two was the more fitted to be an MP and political leader.

Incidentally, I noticed that Stephen Hastings wrote an autobiography, Drums of Memory. I have just ordered a used copy, and for the knockdown price of £1.75 plus a couple of pounds postage. Pretty good value for a hardback book in apparently almost new condition. Will look forward to reading that, assuming it actually arrives (my last purchase, Anna Karenina in Russian, has been refunded by Amazon because of some problem with distribution).

If “Jack Monroe” did that, she might trigger an avalanche of similar claims, together with even more negative publicity.

Her pseudo-celebrity supporters are ebbing away. Weak waste of space Alice Beer is the latest. Jay Rayner cut “Jack Monroe” loose nearly a year ago now, and Nigella Lawson later followed suit.

None will denounce her, but will just show her the cold shoulder.

I suppose that “Jack Monroe” will try to leverage whatever she can to stay in the public eye to some extent, as with her unexplained appearance on BBC Question Time recently, and she needs that public exposure, if only to keep onside the hard core of donor-mugs who are each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month via Patreon— 411 utter mugs as of today.

God. What a loonie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_O%27Reilly.

Britain 2023, where Max Hastings looks like the most principled journalist imaginable…a measure of either how Hastings has grown since he covered the Vietnam War in the late 1960s, or of how far British public life has slid into the mire in more recent decades.

If mortgage rates continue to rise, there will be a rather British non-violent political upheaval. There must be millions of people who do not really “own their own home” as they think they do, because they have a mortgage on the property.

I have just seen a statistic which claims that nearly 28% of the UK population are homeowners without a mortgage or loan against the property, while nearly 38% are “homeowners” but with a mortgage or other loan against the property (I presume that the remaining ~34% are either renters or are too young to take title to real property).

38%. That means, in theory, 38% of the voters, too.

People may not like or trust the Labour Party or the LibDems (or others), but the Conservative Party has been in power since 2010. If mortgage rates continue to rise, there will be a backlash against the Conservative Party not seen even in 1997.

Another, and this time not very inventive “Jack Monroe” lie, that reporters and stray peasants are besieging her home. She must have lifted that from the life of van Gogh.

“Jack Monroe” is so patently fake that it defies belief, and a huge number of stupid mugs still fall for her nonsense.

Venn diagram of “Jack Monroe” mug-supporters: 1. comfortably-off Guardian-reading virtue-signalling naifs (mostly aged 55+); 2. the mentally-unwell; 3. the LGBTQXYZ crowd on Twitter.

“Jack Monroe” works on the —often-true— assumption that the public cannot check up on the veracity of her stories (mostly a pack of lies) and that most “journalists” (scribblers) are too lazy to check.

At least it is not radioactive, yet.

The Americans know that even a limited Russian nuclear strike on the US mainland would send their whole society into freefall. Many of their cities are already powder kegs ready to blow. Racial and social war is just below the surface.

Russia is winning the strategic war.

Hundreds of thousands of non-white migrant-invaders, over the course of a year. The city of Southampton has only about 250,000 inhabitants, so it is akin to importing a city the size of Southampton, or larger, every year. Except that most of the population of Southampton is socially-useful, whereas the migrant-invaders are almost all useless, capable only of doing jobs such as car washing, picking fruit etc (if they would even do that, and if approved to remain in the UK).

The mere parasites are actually the least harmful, when compared to those who are actively criminal or even terroristic.

When one considers that even such a huge number as (?) 250,000 is only a fraction of the overall annual immigration to the UK, which may be as high as a million a year in reality, one sees the scale of the problem.

Yes, a few hundred thousand people also leave the UK annually, mostly British people fleeing the encroaching dystopia, and going to what they hope is a white European milieu in Australia, or New Zealand, or Canada, or retirement is Spain.

Mostly white people leaving; mostly non-whites flooding in.

That still leaves 500,000+ more actual bodies in the UK every year from immigration alone. That’s a city the size of Manchester. Every year.

In fact, even that horror story is not the last word, because the population is also increasing via births, and even now (with 80% of the UK population still white European), the non-white births exceed the white births.

2066? Try 2050 ,or even 2040.

It is just ludicrous how many people are taken in by “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe”.

What might that be? More “diversity” and cultural “enrichment”?

That’s OK. Italians don’t have malicious and obsessed whiners and wheedlers such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” to “protect” them by instigating censorship of opinion (luckily for Italians— that kind of interference with free speech can backfire).

Idiotic Nadine Dorries, a notable moneygrubber, freeloader and expenses fraudster, is really upset —I am glad to observe— that she will now not be getting £350 every time she feels like turning up at the House of Lords (for 30 minutes or more, again her choice) and, should she decide to grace the place for a little longer, having a heavily-subsidized lunch and accompanying wine before strutting off to Bond Street or wherever.

Still, she will now at least have an excuse to drink a vat of booze a day.

While I take that tweeter’s last point, I wish that some kindly benefactor had given the 29-year-old Millard a nice little sinecure like that— £350 a day any time I chose to roll up at the Lords, sign in, and then take some lady to an opulent (and subsidized) lunch. A bottle of (equally-subsidized) minerally-firm Chablis, a pleasant time, then off somewhere with said lady to enjoy the sunny afternoon… Many people have it worse…

Nadine Dorries is so thick that she does not see the dissonance existing in her view that “the Lords is full of people with experience, wisdom” (etc) and her own presence (which will not now happen) in that House…

I have to admit that she looks good for 66 years of age, though…

In fact, Nadine Dorries is wrong to say that, in effect, her becoming an MP was some kind of groundbreaking event. Many MPs were born in far more poverty-stricken surroundings even than her. One (Conservative Party) MP born into poverty was Cecil Parkinson. When I saw a photo of his early childhood home, I was surprised to find that such a road even existed in this country. I might not have liked him politically etc, but one has to say that his career was stellar, looking at where he was born. Admittedly, he was a high-ranking Freemason, I believe, but that only kicked in later. He was still born and brought up in relative poverty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Parkinson.

Andrew Neil was the best political interviewer around for many years; maybe he still is. Unfortunately, he is also someone who ranted on his now-gone BBC2 late night show about “Nazis” etc. He is anti social nationalism, and very much part of the NWO/ZOG set-up, overall. He also deserves to be punished for his incitement against the thinking minority who refused the “vaccines”. I was and remain one of them, thank God.

Joe Biden and his German counterpart Olaf Scholz have agreed to send infantry fighting vehicles to help Ukraine fight Russia, a day after France said it would supply its own armoured vehicles to Kyiv in an attempt to create a breakthrough in the 10-month war.

The joint announcement followed a phone call between Biden and Scholz and amounts to a step change in western military support for Ukraine, which has asked for up to 700 armoured vehicles to help force the Russians out.

Ukraine has repeatedly said it needs 600 to 700 infantry fighting vehicles plus 300 tanks from from the west in order to give its military a chance of breaking through the increasingly fortified Russian positions along the frontline.

Until now, however, the US and Germany have been wary of supplying Ukraine with Nato-standard armour, because they feared it would be interpreted by Russia as escalatory. But the decision to supply western armoured vehicles is significant, even if both countries stopped short of sending tanks.

[The Guardian].

At what point does Russia decide that it has no choice but to use massive force (nuclear or conventional) to raze Kiev and Kharkov to the ground, so that the area of Ukraine east of the Dnieper (about a third to half of Ukraine) can be later rebuilt, and occupied by Russian settlers?

That may sound almost impossible but is actually similar, arguably,to what happened centuries ago when the Cossacks were formed as a group, or connected groups, around the various rivers in southern Russia and Ukraine— Don Cossacks, Zaporozhye Cossacks, Volga Cossacks, Dnieper Cossacks etc.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossacks

[“the Wild Fields”, where Cossacks lived]

Whatever the possibility of the above, there is no doubt that the supply of armoured vehicles, advanced missile systems, and tanks, to the Kiev regime constitutes considerable escalation.

In fact, one need not go back too far in history to find examples of Russian forces all but razing cities to the ground, then rebuilding them and filling them with the troops and civilians of loyal satraps: see Grozny in the 1990s— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grozny#After_the_wars.

Afterwards, the Russians slowly entered the empty city and on 6 February raised the Russian flag in the centre. Many buildings and even whole areas of the city were systematically destroyed. A month later, it was declared safe to allow the residents to return to their homes, although demolition continued for some time. In 2003 the United Nations called Grozny the most destroyed city on earth.”

The Russian tactic in 1999 was to hold back tanks and armored personnel carriers and subject the entrenched Chechens to an intensive heavy artillery barrage and aerial bombardment before engaging them with relatively small groups of infantry, many with prior training in urban warfare.”

I read, re. Ukraine in 2023, that Russia has huge numbers of troops not “in theatre”, i.e. not (yet) in Ukraine. That may be because those troops are not trained enough yet, it may be because there are logistical problems in supplying them. If Russia can train them and supply them by next Spring or early Summer, then a vast offensive might be possible, to take Kharkov and even Kiev itself, though if the latter it would be a bloody battle, akin to Stalingrad in 1942-43.

In the end, Russia needs to take Kiev, Kharkov and, if possible, Odessa, along with surrounding territory. If it can do that, then it can write off Western Ukraine and its cities (chief of which is Lvov). That would mean continuing conflict with a regime which would be based on Lvov, but there would be little the Zelensky regime or its successor could do, with almost all Ukrainian cities of any size in Russian hands.

At this point, Ukraine is not a functioning state.

The “Jack Monroe” “scamstorm” continues

[https://unherd.com/2023/01/jack-monroe-the-acceptable-face-of-poverty/?=frlh]

Those “FBPE” tweeters are nearly always absolutely stupid, and often rather unpleasant as well.

The idea that “Jack Monroe” has “worked tirelessly” on behalf of anyone other than herself is ludicrous.

Tweeter “@codfather” is the usual “Jack Monroe” partisan: wilfully blind, a certain age (reading between the lines), reasonably affluent (ditto) and certainly not “poor”. Also, vituperative.

In fact, and as I started to understand some time ago, many of the pro-“Bootstrap Cook” tweets are actually from…”Jack Monroe” herself, pretending to be other people. So-called “sock accounts”. Not all, and I think not “@codfather”, but many others.

See also: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/05/cost-of-living-crisis-england-most-deprived-area-birmingham-hodge-hill.

The sheer delusion that many “Jack Monroe” partisans seem to live in has to be read to be believed; look, for example, at the tweet belkow, from (supposedly) a “professor emeritus at Bristol [University]”:

What the professor fails to see is that “Jack Monroe” has only one achievement (two if you include persuading large numbers of msm people that her whole story is true) — making a pretty good living for herself mainly by tweeting personal trivia, and recipes which look as dire as they are deficient in nutrient.

As for “measurement of food price inflation“, the ONS has made clear that their one meeting with her (at her request) had no effect on any of their work, and was not even noted or recorded. The “Vimes Boots Index”, supposedly being “worked on” by “Jack Monroe”, does not even exist, in reality. So what is left is the commonplace observation that the cost of basic foods has risen faster than that of luxury items.

Once again, a “Jack Monroe” supporter turns out to be a “woke”, and comfortably-off virtue-signaller, in this case an academic, or retired academic.

As I have blogged before, I have so far seen not one “Jack Monroe” supporter who is under 30, is “poor”, or who has ever been in circumstances of real financial difficulty.

Interestingly, also, I see not one “Jack Monroe” supporter who is black, brown, or Chinese. As someone who wants the UK and all Europe to be European, that in a sense is not a problem for me, but is still an interesting thing to note.

My take on that is that the ethnic minorities are too down to earth (and many also with too recent an experience of actual poverty) to take “Jack Monroe”/”Bootstrap Cook” seriously. Also, many would not look twice at the kind of swill she seems to produce much of the time.

The same is true in most areas. Politically too. Lenin was just one of a small number of marginalized exiles; Hitler was just an individual who was told to take a look at a tiny party, then joined it as member (possibly committee member) no.7.

Acorn—oak etc.

It is an incredible fact that (what is left of) the print newspapers in the UK are still churning out “editorials” or “leaders” which hardly anyone reads and by which even fewer are influenced.

Temps perdu: Bruce Barry

Ha. Back in the early 1980s, I knew a lady, a civil servant, who rented her basement flat near Central London to an actor well-known then in Australia, but obscure in the UK— Bruce Barry. I got to know him slightly.

At some point, maybe in 1984, Bruce auditioned for the part of Crocodile Dundee in the eponymous film. He told my friend, his landlady, that he had been shortlisted. The only other contender was… Paul Hogan. And the rest is history, as they say.

Bruce had spoiled his chance by going to the final meeting with the film people, at the Ritz in London, beautifully dressed (according to the lady I knew) but then enjoying “a liquid lunch“…

Bruce was fussy about food, living off wholefoods, nuts, avocado, and I think the occasional Australian steak, but drank too much. Drink and women were his downfall.

Not a bad fellow, though rather neurotic, and rather intense, in my view. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Barry_(actor). Bruce had come to London at the age of ~46 to try to break into musicals. His divorce in Australia had left his wife (or one of them) and teenage sons in the family home, apparently a palatial house with grounds going down to the waters of Sydney Harbour, while Bruce himself was left with little.

In London, his first part was the male lead in The Biograph Girl [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Biograph_Girl], a musical about Lilian Gish [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Gish], which closed after (I now see from Wikipedia) 57 performances (I had thought, until today, after only a couple of weeks). Bruce had described it in hardnosed Australian fashion to my friend, the Civil Service lady, as “a bum show“, i.e. not much good.

I recall seeing Bruce on stage a couple of times, once at the Adelphi, in the Strand, where he was the second male lead in Marilyn! He played Andre de Dienes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_de_Dienes (though I cannot have been paying attention because until today I had thought he played Arthur Miller).

Bruce had very kindly given me two free tickets; I invited my mother, who lived in Surrey, and she enjoyed it. Musicals are not really my thing.

The other time I saw Bruce Barry in performance was at the Australian High Commission in London. I think that it was called An Evening with Bruce Barry, and was very good. I attended with the Civil Service lady, and met the real Australian Cultural Attache, who perhaps unsurprisingly was a very pleasant diplomatic fellow, and not a bit like “Sir Les Patterson” as portrayed by Barry Humphries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Les_Patterson].

Bruce had a girlfriend, a tall Australian dancer who had been a member of the Bluebell Girls ensemble in Paris. One day, Bruce returned to his flat to find her in flagrante with a third party. The end of the affair.

Bruce toured a bit around England with well-known stars such as Rula Lenska and Elaine Paige. I believe that that was in Evita. One star he disliked intensely, though, was Barbara Windsor. He was, apparently, not alone in that. Several disliked her tie-ups with gangsters etc.

In the end, Bruce Barry, having not quite broken through in the way he had hoped, returned to Australia, remarried, and had parts in quite a few TV shows, including The Flying Doctors [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flying_Doctors], where he played a landowner, I was told (I myself never saw it, though the series was shown in the UK).

The last I heard of Bruce Barry was that his second (or third) wife had divorced him, taken his home off him (as I heard it), and left him to drink and regrets.

I was unaware until today that Bruce had been with Mick Jagger in the film Ned Kelly, in 1970. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly_(1970_film).

Bruce Barry died in 2017, aged 82.

Said Eritreans should have been executed by firing squad in the main square of Stockholm; it would have been a deterrent to other migrant-invaders (prior to their mass deportation). Sweden is even more mad than the UK.

The “CAA” is a pack of malicious Jew-Zionists, which cabal makes unfounded and untrue complaints to police and others: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

A number of wealthy Jews have recently donated £600,000 to that tiny group of troublemakers.

The Charity Commission should close down both its charitable status and, as far as possible, its fundraising.

In any case, why would “Jack Monroe” even go to the Grenfell Tower fire? She was never in the fire brigade, except as a civilian office bod answering the telephone in Essex (about 50-60 miles from Grenfell Tower) for a year or so, and years before the Grenfell Tower blaze. If she did go to Grenfell Tower (which I doubt), it could only have been as a “rubbernecker”, and the police would certainly not have “waved her through the cordon” as she claimed. She’s a fake, a total fake.

Someone should make a series on con-men, con-women, “grifters” etc. Hour-long episodes, each covering two or three perpetrators, a bit like the very interesting In Suspicious Circumstances presented by Edward Woodward [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Suspicious_Circumstances]. A favourite series, presently being repeated on satellite TV.

Another good one was Great Crimes and Trials [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Crimes_and_Trials]. I used to have all of those on video or DVD.

At a guess, I should say that copies of Thrifty Kitchen will soon be on sale in charity shops for about 20p. At least “the poor” will then be able to read the book, should they be so misguided.

I can only agree.

Ha ha. Just thinking again about the very idea that “the poor” need to be advised (very negligently) that, if they have a can without a ring-pull, and cannot find a can-opener, that they should use a hammer (or mallet?) and large knife! “Jack Monroe” obviously thinks that “the poor” are all completely brainless, and either cannot think of that on their own, or think of how to get an opener (less than £1 in some places).

She might as well “advise” people to invest in a Swiss Army Knife (mine has a can-opener which does work, though it’s hard work). The worst “investment” is to buy her book, in my opinion.

Now send “Jack Monroe” a fiver!

Once the book appears for 10p (at a stretch, 20p) in charity shops, which will be soon, I shall probably buy a copy just to give myself a laugh or two before I chuck it away.

“Jack Monroe” is a total £3-note…a fake.

…and, so far, despite 3-4 months of Twitterstorm and offline criticism, her Jewish lawyer, Mark Lewis, a resident of Israel, and with whose name (by implication) she used to threaten people who called her fraudulent, has not once emerged from his kennel.

Below, another typical “Jack Monroe” supporter:

a. much of her “lived experience” written about has been fantasy or lies; b. her “tips” are mostly worthless, or actually dangerous to health, or are obvious (eg “buy the budget range at the supermarket“); c. her royalties total around £100,000 to date; d. the monies from “fundraising to send thousands of books to foodbanks” seem partly, perhaps largely, to have been diverted into her own pocket; e. then there was the “sue Lee Anderson” crowdfunder scam; and f. the continuing Patreon scam, bringing her maybe £6,000 each month.

In addition to the above, it seems that, last year, “Jack Monroe” did a number of events, and getting, it seems, up to £15,000 each time.

Not exactly “earning a few quid“…

In any case, should a small-time robber get off just because a big-time robber down the road has committed a bigger crime?

Some types of bungalow do have a room upstairs, of course. #MoralHighGround.

Just looking again at the Twitter profiles of those who are the angry supporters of “Jack Monroe”: “professor emeritus” (ie retired academic), “noise consultant“, “retired HR lady“, “small businessman“, “writer“, “writer and photographer“, “part of brilliant Marketing Team“, “Pagan…therapeutic counsellor“, “#ACAB #BLM, Rape/Cop apologists blocked, TERFs blocked“, “novelist“, “High Profile hard left twitterer“, “Mother of Mayhem, Psychology student, Not Jack Monroe, Maybe“, “I’m a doctor but not working clinically” [i.e. another “grifter”], “fandom old, makes various media“, “BSc Psychology. History MA. Labour Party Member. MA Creative Non Fiction“, “Widower, autistic, stroke survivor. Tofu eating, Woke Corbynista“, “Labour & Co-operative MP for Oldham West & Royton | Chair, Co-operative Party | Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs” [n.b. if he cannot see through the “Jack Monroe” nonsense, Jim McMahon is unsuitable as MP and possible government minister], “Academic, political theorist, educationalist, former Pro-Director Education at LSE, HoD Department of Government LSE. ‘Woke Realist’ in a good way. Grandfather“, “Writing, blogging married mum of two boisterous boys..Tweets powered by Diet Coke, Earl Grey and wine“, “Educator/Writer/Student“, “Bristol based Graphic Designer.

Music. Language. Science. Theology. Family. Talk. Think. Opinions my own. Pilot and PhD researcher (human factors and linguistics)“.

And so on.

Taken in a line. Just look at them. Not a steel worker, nurse, bus driver, train driver, cleaner, carpenter, plumber or the like among them. The “working class” seems to be absent.

Certainly not absent are the Guardian-readers, small business owners, suburban housewives (who prefer some other designation), well-paid freelancers, retired people (who used to be academics or working in reasonably-paid office jobs etc).

Also well-represented are various species of “Looney Tunes”.

Also absent is anyone likely to be “poor”.

As blogged previously, all her partisans are pseudo-socialists and/or “poverty tourists”, most if not all rather comfortably-off, many either retired or otherwise economically inactive (though not short of money); and quite a few with obvious mental health “issues” and/or problems with rational thinking. Also, various loony “trans” supporters.

Disturbing to see a Labour MP in there too, one Jim McMahon [Lab. and Co-op; Oldham West and Royton].

Oh, well, enough for now.
