That horrible greedy farmer who badly damaged the River Lugg a couple of years ago has been released from prison, having served only 2-3 months of an already-lenient 10-month sentence.
A good example of how weak the justice system now is. Some flexibility is good, but when convicts are only serving a quarter of a prison sentence, and when that sentence is often inadequate to start with, the system itself starts to break down, as does society.

Piers Corbyn is bonkers, but he’s bloody right here.

“Legal tender” is legal tender, but you can see the way the UK is going: “app only” purchasing, “15 minute ghettoes cities”, “social credit”, etc. Dystopian Britain. It’s happening, gradually, all around us, right in front of us.
Part of that is the fake “communitarianism” tested out during the “Covid” “scamdemic”/”panicdemic”, e.g. the “caring sharing” NHS which leaves millions to suffer and die; also the “emergency services” (police, ambulance, fire brigade) in general, which used to respond within minutes, maybe 5, 10, 15 minutes, but now (at least the first two) sometimes take hours to arrive or, more commonly, just refuse to attend at all, referring callers either to a website, or to some bloody “app”, or to often-useless advice lines.

There seems to be only one solution for the Afghan[istan] problem, meaning to delete and start anew, from tabula rasa. The British, Russians, Americans and British (again) failed in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The Soviet Union was winning from 1979, but the Americans stupidly created a monster by funnelling arms and ammunition to the savage tribesmen and fanatics such as Osama bin Laden. When it comes to the USA, it seems that its ignorant leaders never learn.
The same is true for armchair warrior Tobias Ellwood.
HEAT PUMP TYCOON ADMITS:
“Heat pumps do not work in cold winters and …..are so noisy, a group of them can rattle your windows”
Only @reformparty_uk will stop the Net Zero heat pump madness
That may be right about heat pumps, or some heat pumps, I do not know, but one thing I am sure of is that Reform UK has no chance, politically. Recent by-elections have made that clear.
I do not think that the tide of affairs is moving toward “libertarian” “conservatism”. The people want clean efficient government, in fact quite a few want (unconsciously) a less “Germanic” form of national socialism, or even national near-“communism”, as problems abound with cost of living, housing, crime, migration-invasion, huge inequality etc.
Whatever the UK population does, doesn’t change the climate of the World one iota. People will not tolerate being made poorer or have freedoms removed, for a Net zero con trick.
Time to speak up.

SHOIGU PRESENTED INFORMATION ABOUT UKRAINIAN LOSSES
➡️🇷🇺The Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sergei Shoigu, presented data on Ukrainian losses during the month of July. From July 1 to July 31, Ukrainians lost:
20,000 killed and wounded in a month. How long can the Kiev regime sustain such losses out of a declining population (low birth rate, and many women and teenagers leaving for other countries)?

@danwootton Watching Stanley Johnson defend the surveillance of the electorate for wrong think, I can start to see some of why The Conservative Party got the last thirteen years so wrong.
“A farmer who hired diggers and builders to illegally rip out trees along a riverbank has been jailed for 12 months.
But the farmer was jailed – and ordered to pay more than £1.2m in court and restoration costs – after a judge described his action on the Herefordshire river as ‘ecological vandalism on an industrial scale’.“
Today he was jailed for 12 months and disqualified from being a company director for three years.
The cost to the damage to the River Lugg at Kingsland, near Leominster, and the embankments amounts to £600,000, which Price must repay in 12 months.“

I recall blogging about that greedy farmer-vandal at the time, 4-5 years ago. Good to see that he has been punished, and especially that he will now have to pay for the restorative work.
Sadly, we now live in a country where the definition of bullying includes telling someone to do their job. Where the slightest upset or annoyance is indulged with endless reports and inquiries.

People should not be treated in such a shabby manner (by the NHS system, not staff), yet the story above is almost commonplace in some parts of the UK.
The NHS has some wonderful people in it, a minority also not so good, but what really lets it down is maladministration. Money is a large part of the problem, but is not the whole story by any means.
There is also the point that the UK population has increased from about 55 million half a century ago to maybe as many as 70 million today, mainly (in fact almost entirely) because of mass immigration, and also births to immigrant mothers. Yes, quite a few non-Brits work in the NHS, but that hardly outweighs the pressure from FIFTEEN MILLION more potential patients (who should not even be in this country).
Pressure from immigration etc would not have been a factor in the above story (which comes from Northern Ireland), but it is a factor in much of the UK.
I recall camping only about 20-30 feet from Arthur’s Stone sometime in the early 1980s. My then girlfriend and I just happened upon it one dark late evening; in fact we had never heard of it. A convenient place to stop the car and pitch a small tent. Very quiet. Zero traffic (except us).
Sounds as if it is a bit of a tourist destination now, but then I think not. I do not think we heard a single car pass in the night until, at about 0200 hrs, a torch was shone into my face. A policeman. He asked whether we had heard a car pass in the past hour; we said no, we were sleeping. He said OK and left. I expect that he made that story up as an excuse for disturbing us.
Arthur’s Stone is about 15 miles west of Hereford, and is on a very narrow and little-used (even now, I expect) lane. I have trekked, at various times, across much of the countryside between Hereford and Hay-on-Wye and around (but many many years ago, in much younger and far fitter days).
Looking at Google Earth, I see that it now has a low wooden fence, about 2 ft high, around it. Don’t recall that, but (as we know) memory, even my memory, can be faulty.
So the virtue-signalling Guardian’s editor has a salary of £510,000 a year! No wonder the Guardian‘s one-time “socialism” is rather muted these days…
Incidentally, I believe that Ms. Viner’s personal “partner” makes even more than she does.
“GMG also paid its former chief executive Annette Thomas £795,000 after she left following a clash with Ms Viner over the direction of the business. Ms Thomas received a “one-off” payment on top of her £630,000 base salary, meaning she made £1.5m in 15 months on the job.“
[Daily Mail]
“Annual revenues at GMG climbed 13pc to £255.8m and profits rose nearly four-fold to £11.7m.
The Guardian does not have a paywall but instead relies on donations made by readers.
Over one million people made monthly contributions of at least £1 a month, while another 500,000 readers made one-off payments.“
[Daily Telegraph]
Incredible, really: a million mugs give £1+ each monthly to the Guardian, meaning £12 million a year, while another half-million mugs make one-off payments each year, meaning £500,000+, probably £1M or more.
So… the profits of nearly £12M are because those million or so mugs are donating about the same amount, and maybe several million pounds more. Those donations make the difference between insolvency and significant profitability.
Meanwhile, the editor gets paid half a million pounds —and more— annually.
Those invaders will be, in the best scenario, effectively useless, and a millstone round the collective neck of the British people. At worst, criminals and/or terrorists.
The problem, of course, is that whichever way the masses vote (I myself never vote), they vote (in reality) for globalism and open borders, because all System “democratic” parties are signed up to that agenda.

Ehud Barak…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehud_Barak]. Now there’s a name not quite in sync with the others. I wonder what he was up to, bearing in mind the Israeli Intelligence connection with both the Jew Epstein and the half-Jew Ghislaine “Maxwell”.
The perennial NHS crisis. Pretty much every year for 20-30 years. As said, something gamechanging has to be done both about the NHS and about the mass immigration that puts intolerable strain upon it. A national health service such as the NHS should not be run like a massive version of M*A*S*H [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAS*H_(TV_series)].
There is a serious sickness in American life, two symptoms of which include pro-abortion fanaticism and the callousness towards animals seen in, for example, the incredibly evil “declawing” of cats (banned in the UK). Not all Americans, maybe a minority, are involved, but the tendency is there, prominently. Manifestations of practical materialism.

Thanks. I have been Charing Cross Police Station this morning. Enquiried if they could go to boots and ask for security footage. They did nothing. The police didn't even bother to look at the CCTV footage I was trying to show them.
Tweeters already covered what would be my main suggestion, i.e. to check cctv at the two or three nearest Boots branches.
You do have to be very careful in London now. When I lived in London, and later in Almaty (Kazakhstan), in the mid/late 1990s, I always wore one of my Rolex Seadweller watches (in today’s value, over £10,000).
I doubt that I would do that today, if I had such a watch (in fact, I sold my watches long long ago from necessity…needs must), especially if I used the London Underground (as I often did when in London).
When I lived in Almaty, where (at the time, i.e. 1996-97), credit cards were almost useless, I always carried USD $5,000-$10,000 in a special moneybelt made to look exactly like an ordinary belt. I never had any serious trouble, though there was once a scuffle with a “wild” (unofficial) taxi driver (no real harm done— my sunglasses broken, a good shirt torn, but his face improved after connection with my elbow…).
As a visitor or tourist in a foreign city, you do have to be careful. I was once, 40 years ago, doing some petty nonsense at the now-closed Paddington Green police station [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddington_Green_Police_Station]. In the reception area. Two Egyptian girls, tourists, came in, wailing. The police desk person could scarcely have been less helpful to them, almost contemptuous, when he heard that one of the girls had had her handbag snatched, along with £800 in it (a great deal higher value then than now, of course; you could probably call it as much as £10,000 in today’s money).
Sadly, the police now are usually useless unless the crime is something they have been told is top-priority, such as cases of murder, “terrorism”, saying rude things online about Jews etc.
I hope that the lady in that Twitter thread gets her stuff back, but it is a long-shot, of course. Her best bet is probably to set up a gofundme appeal, but that will of course not help with the identity documents she lost.
At least the lady’s case has now been taken up by police CID (see below):
People are often careless with bags etc. I found a woman’s strapless bag, a bit like a large wallet, in a shopping trolley in one of the trolley bays in the car park of the Waitrose in the local small town, about a year ago. Opened it out of curiosity before I gave it in to the Waitrose reception desk. Full of cards, dozens of them; quite a bit of cash as well.
A few years ago, not long after sunup, I happened to see a purse on the ground, in a clifftop car park. Inside, nearly £50 in notes, a debit card, and a student rail pass in the name of some girl. I brought it home thinking that it must be fairly local (the rail pass having been issued about 5 miles away), and that the unusual surname might be in the telephone book. No luck, so I gave it to the police at the local police station.
I hope that the girl student got back her cards and money. As to what she might have been doing late at night (presumably) in that clifftop car park, well, that is none of my business…
Incidentally, lest readers of the blog think that I am unnaturally virtuous, I have to admit that, were it a million pounds in a suitcase, my actions might be quite different.
I think that most police forces do not even bother now with mere lost property. After all, their valuable time is taken up by policing the Internet etc…
