Well, this week brings me 6/10, thus doing slightly better than political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, 7, and 9; a couple of educated guesses paid off this week, if truth be known.
“A Labour MP was lambasted last night over ‘abhorrent’ claims pensioners losing their winter fuel allowance have a ‘choice’ whether to put the heating on.
Newly elected Crawley MP Peter Lamb said anyone who needs the payment to afford heating will still get it as he defended axing the subsidy.
Yet campaigners said millions of pensioners will struggle this winter without the subsidy, which is worth up to £300 on energy bills.
Defending his decision amid criticism it would let ‘old people go cold’, he tweeted: ‘If people choose not to put the heating on after several above-inflation increases in the state pension then that’s their choice.‘
Last night, after being approached by the Mail, Mr Lamb apologised.“

We are told that the remedy for useless and nasty little freeloaders of that sort is to “vote them out” in four or five years’ time. Really? Yes, he probably will lose his easy £91,000+ salary and generous expenses (and other income sources) in due course, but do you think that really frightens him and the many others like him?
The bastard did not even have the guts to stand by his remarks; he just caved in when the Daily Mail approached him and told him that he was going to feature in the newspaper.

True, but Goodwin fails to mention the most important factor— the gene pool.
The only way to maintain civilization, and to then move it to a higher level, is to build upon a European-race foundation. That can be the basis for a later quantum leap in consciousness, a “super-race” if you like.
Importation of non-European populations destroys the possibility of creating even the early foundation for that. That is why the forces of Evil want race-consciousness and European race itself to be expunged.

I have thought for some time, 1-2 years, that we are closer to the edge than most believe. Think back to 1914 and 1939.
Now it seems that Starmer (a complete NWO/ZOG/Israel lobby puppet) is pushing even more than the American hawks for “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev) to be able to attack all parts of Russia with long-range missiles. This is akin to Russia or Belarus supplying Cuba with rockets and allowing them to be used on all parts of the USA. Think about it.
I had thought Rudolf Steiner mistaken in answering a woman who asked him, in the early 1920s, whether she might reincarnate with him in the later 20th/21st Century (Steiner died in 1925), that she might, were she willing to walk with him across broken glass in a devastated Europe.
I also thought, up until about 15 years ago, that nuclear war between NATO and the Soviet Union, and then Russia, would never happen, or be allowed to happen.
As things stand, I am seriously wondering how much time our present civilization has left.
If war starts, in a big way, between Russia and the NATO alliance, it may take on a life of its own (literally), and prove hard to stop. It would probably escalate and go nuclear.

“What is our country becoming?” asks former MP Andrew Bridgen. Read about the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, and also read the Protocols of Zion, and that will give you a pretty good general idea.
Starmer is only 2 months or so into a 4-5 year tenure (assuming of course that he and “diversity-hire-on-a-stick” Lammy do not help to precipitate a nuclear war before 2029).

Many of the readers of the blog will be aware of my free speech trial, held in November 2023, and my sentencing hearing, which was held on 14 March 2024, i.e. about 6 months ago. I blogged about both:
The main part of the sentence imposed upon me for having allegedly blogged about various things, but principally the behaviour of Jewish Zionist groups and cabals, was to attend 15 “rehabilitation days” with the Probation Service people.
It turned out (I did not know) that the initial few meetings, mostly less than 1 hour long (one or two longer) do not even count towards the 15 imposed, but also that the “rehabilitation days” are not (at least in my case) days at all but hours or part-hours.
I found the process slightly opaque, but it seemed to be a mixture of conversation and slightly more structured psychological assessment designed to assess “risk”. Well, I do not go around shooting people or blowing them up, and I should have imagined that that was fairly clear from the start.
As for others being “influenced” by me, I only wish more were! Still, “one human soul is a big audience“, as some saint or other once said.
There was none of the armchair brainwashing I thought might be attempted.
Well, I attended about 4 “rehabilitation days” (as designated), and other meetings, I think 4, not designated (for some reason) as “rehabilitation days”. About 8 altogether.
It turns out that, at least as far as I can understand, I am not much of a “risk” to the public, even in a broad sense…
It also now transpires that, for reasons that are again slightly opaque to me, but apparently connected to larger events, I need not attend any more meetings, whether flagged as “rehabilitation days” or not, and I am deemed to have completed that part of my sentence, the other being the financial impost linked to the (purely notional) “costs of trial” and (risibly) “victim surcharge” (just another label meaning further fine)— £734 in all. About a third of that was crowdfunded by a handful of generous donors, the rest paid off in instalments the quantum of which was decided by me; I only have two small instalments outstanding at time of writing.
Incidentally, I parted on good terms with my Probation Service officer, a rather charming and polite young lady.
So there it is. “Free at last…I’m free at last!” (only joking)…
Of course, the “usual suspects” will almost certainly be plotting in their cellars, trying to get “the authorities” (police, CPS etc) to take their whining demands seriously, and “it ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings“, but for now at least the matter is at an end.

“A record number of children are being arrested as terror suspects, new Home Office figures have revealed.
Police detained 242 people on suspicion of terror offences in the year to June, of which 17% (40) were aged 17 and under.
This is up 60% from the 25 detained in the previous 12-month period and is the highest number since records began more than 20 years ago, when just two children were arrested in the year to June 2002.
MI5 director general Ken McCallum previously said terrorism inspired by Islamist ideology still accounted for about three-quarters of the security agency’s terrorist caseload.
But he warned that extreme right-wing terrorism was ‘sadly here to stay’ as he told how agents had been investigating teenagers as young as 13.
The latest statistics come after record numbers of children were revealed to have been reported to the Government’s anti-extremism services for expressing ‘far right’ ideology.
More than 2,100 under-15s were referred to Prevent in 2022/23 over fears they were being groomed by extremists or at risk of radicalisation.
Of them, 462 expressed ‘extreme right wing’ ideologies compared with 182 ‘Islamist’ referrals.
Officials describe Extreme Right-Wing Terrorism (ERWT) as using violence to further aims. Such ideologies can be broadly characterised as ‘Cultural Nationalism, White Nationalism and White Supremacism’, the Home Office says.
Many of the referrals and reports came from schools where children were identified as being at risk of radicalisation as a result of their extremist views, often associated with expressing hate speech involving racism, homophobia or anti-Semitic abuse.
Expressing sympathy or admiration for the likes of Adolf Hitler or praising extremists would be enough to risk being flagged to Prevent if overheard by a teacher, social worker or even work colleague.
A Home Office spokesperson said: ‘Extremism is an evolving threat, which threatens our democratic values and freedoms. Government is determined to take every possible step to tackle it and show it has no place in our society.‘”
Imagine, teenagers being treated as serious “terror” suspects just because they own some anarchist book about bombs, or because they find Hitler or National Socialism interesting! Back in the 1970s, that would have been almost par for the course! This is all box-ticking nonsense, typical of the UK as it now is.
Freedom of expression in the UK is being closed down for no good reason at all. “They” (“the usual suspects”) are behind most of it. The slide has to be stopped, and then reversed.
As for that McCallum person, little seems known about his views, but I retain the right to assume that he may well be a nerdy waste of space…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McCallum]. I wonder.

“Have you noticed how Zelensky pushes away anyone who can bring about a peaceful solution? Nothing suits him except the possibility of the army fighting to infinity. They drag this situation out indefinitely, because according to them there is no need to solve problems, to deal with the economy, social issues, elections …”, says Alexander Dubinsky, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.”
The “VR” is the unicameral Parliament of Ukraine. The last elections were in 2019, and Zelensky and his cabal are now ruling illegally, albeit using a convenient law passed by them not very long ago, and under which new elections will only be held after the end of the present war…
I feel sorry for both the civilians whose former homes are now destroyed and the press-ganged Ukrainian soldiers fighting (are they aware?) for the money-laundering corruption of Zelensky and his Jewish-Zionist cabal, but Russia has to prevail in this terrible conflict, no matter what.

I went into a Lidl supermarket (about 6-7 miles from my home) yesterday, because they are having a “Central and Eastern European Week”. I like the Polish cherry/apple juice drink, and a few other things such as Turkish coffee.
Needing a pound coin for the trolley or cart, I approached an enormously fat African woman stacking shelves (so slowly that she appeared to be in a slow-motion film). She scarcely spoke English, but informed me (incorrectly, and not politely) that Lidl do not take coins, only cards. She obviously failed to understand why I wanted the coin (despite my having told her clearly).
That is the type of low-IQ, low-skill humanoid being imported into this country, not in the thousands but in the millions.
I should add that the other Lidl employee seen was a cashier, an American (white) man, who seemed drugged or something, and was like a refugee from a Grateful Dead concert. Why he is even in the UK? God knows.
What do you think Britain’s future will be if it has a population largely composed of humanoids of those types? Not to mention the English “wiggers”, Vicky Pollard lookalikes etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan [be aware that “the usual suspects” vandalize Wikipedia, and that includes the cited article. “They” also infiltrate the Wikipedia editing structure].
sir, you know this is not true. This is neither NATO's nor US nuclear doctrine.
USA would only launch full scale nuclear attack on Russia if it detected nuclear launches towards itself.
If Russia drops bomb on Poland, where I live by the way, you'd send thoughts and prayers.
…and what does that foolish American think will be happening in the USA while that is happening? True, of Russia’s 6,000+ nuclear weapons, perhaps only 10% or 20% will successfully launch (i.e. 600-1,200), and perhaps (I do not know) only 10%-20% of those will reach the USA and UK etc without having been intercepted (i.e. 60-120).
So let us say that, at an absolute minimum, “only” 60 nuclear missiles hit American cities and other targets, and let us assume for the sake of argument that military targets are prioritized so that “only” 30 actual American cities are hit.
Putting it frankly, even if you believe that “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) is “in the right” (I myself do not), is it worthwhile to —literally— fight for that rabble at the expense of much of the civilized world being destroyed and irradiated, including most of the USA?
Think again.

Ukraine is not a real state in any case. It has only been regarded (by some) as a valid state for the past 30 out of the past 1,300 years, and is now really a “failed state” at best; more of a “non-state”.

Well, here we are again. On the “original” 11 September, meaning “9/11” 2001 (in the American format), I was in the back of a taxi driving down the Strand in London, with an American colleague. Mid-morning. He received a call from his wife in Charleston, South Carolina. Something about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
My colleague relayed the news to me, and the typically know-all London taxi driver told us that he already knew all about it.
My American colleague asked me where we could get to a TV. I replied that our office in London (off Berkeley Square in Mayfair) had one, but that there used to be a Dixons (electronics and home electrical goods store) in the Strand. We saw it, disembarked and went into that store. Hundreds of TV sets, all showing what looked like a disaster movie. A few customers wandering around, looking at the goods, seemingly unaware of the enormity of what was happening, vicariously, in front of them.
After about 10 minutes looking and listening, we left and went to my then office. The staff there were getting the latest on-the-ground and diplomatic news.
My American colleague was both grim and angry, and muttered something about how “we” should respond in the same way the Israelis always did. Needless to say, I disagreed, though as politely as I could. For one thing, the origins and motives of the perpetrators had not yet been established (he was saying that it must be the Iraqis, which of course turned out to be wrong). I do recall remarking that if a state was proven to have been behind the attack, then it was undoubtedly an act of war in terms of international law.
Of course, the 2001 WTC attack was used as the fuel for the American-led invasions of both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I well remember my American colleague’s anger, which I think was general across the USA, from what I not only saw on TV but also what I noted once or twice in the USA not long afterward; I flew to Washington about a week or so after the attacks.
I myself was relatively unemotional about it, despite the horrible images and evident suffering etc. That’s just me, I suppose. After all, many horrible things happen in the world, and the Americans themselves perpetrate quite a few of them. Having said that, the attack was an appalling outrage from almost any point of view.
That report is really worth reading. The Israeli intelligence connection to the “9/11” attack is more than a simple “conspiracy theory” that can be simply laughed off.
“After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said: “It’s very good.” Then he corrected himself, adding: “Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy for Israel from Americans.”
[Herald Scotland]
As with the Kennedy assassination, some of the “9/11” conspiracy theories, mutually contradictory as some are, cannot be entirely discounted.
One thing that I found odd at the time was that members of the bin Laden family living in the USA at the time were flown out of US airspace on private jets only a day or two after the attacks (the Pentagon also having been hit), and authorized in person, it seems, by George W. Bush, the U.S. President, and at a time before ordinary commercial flights were allowed to resume.
Of course, since the attacks of 2001, the area of the attack has been redeveloped.
The original “Twin Towers” complex was a very powerful architectural statement, partly because of the two almost identical main buildings:
In fact, there were minor differences. I went up both towers. Once only, in 1989, onto the open observation deck of the South Tower:
…and also once only to the Hors d’Oeuvrerie and Cellar in the Sky near the top of the North Tower, where I enjoyed the view and a couple of glasses of Californian Chardonnay with my first wife, an employee of the Federal Government. That would have been in 1990 or 1991.
In fact, during the years 1989-1993 I was occasionally at the World Trade Center, but only because I sometimes used the PATH line from Newark (New Jersey) into Manhattan, a service that terminated either at the WTC or at 33rd Street/Herald Square in Midtown (I more often went to Midtown).
Incidentally, one of the things I noticed about the South Tower was the speed of the very large express lift/elevator (the size of a room), which transported tourists to the floor below the Observation Deck in a matter of only a couple of minutes, if I recall aright. I think 107 floors. There was a staircase from there to the outside Observation Deck.
Having said that, such shouting matches and trivia do have their effect on voter response.
At this point, I have no idea who supposedly “won” the TV debate, or who is going to come out on top in the election.
The “Twitterati”, or Twitter/X twits, heavily pro-Kamala Harris, think that she has “won” the TV debate, but that is near-meaningless: they were also sure that the Remain side would win the Brexit Referendum, and that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

More reminiscences
It seems that today is a day for Memory Lane.
I notice that Larkbeare House in Exeter, not far from the barristers’ chambers where I was professionally based during the years 2002-2008 (though actually resident much of the time after 2005 and until mid-2009 in France), is up for sale.
Larkbeare House was, at that time (and, indeed, since 1876), the Judges’ Lodgings. High Court and Circuit Judges on the Western Circuit of the Bar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuits_of_England_and_Wales] would stay there when sitting at Exeter.
I attended a couple of receptions there in 2006/2007.
Judges’ Lodgings, which go back hundreds of years, came into existence as a way of isolating judges from the opinions and potential pressures of the local populations, and also protecting them from potential intimidation or protest.
The sale is a sign of the times. The misgovernment of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne decided to sell off most of the remaining Judges’ Lodgings. Judges now often stay in hotels when on circuit; to my mind not entirely satisfactory.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to buy the property, the “guide price” is £4M.

She probably worked her whole life, paying tax and NI, so she is eligible for a full state pension. When she was working very few had employer contributed pensions so that is all she has – £221/week – that is £3/week more than the pension credit level. https://t.co/NfZa4HyuS5
I will say it again for those at the back. People just above the Pension Credit threshold are actually far worse off than those who receive it. Pension Credit is a gateway benefit and opens the door to about £3k of financial help. Income of over £218pw denies you that, and WFP.

A horrible little System-careerist bastard, in short. Moreover, one born with a double-size silver spoon in his mouth.
There’s absolutely no defence for a LABOUR government to do this! Fix the cut off point first. I hate Cameron with a passion however he made a good point “the upper tax bracket as the cut off point” that way you’re not penalizing those just above the pension credit cut off.
Starmer and his cohorts, including the said horrible little careerist bastard, are sending £3 BILLION a year to the brutal Jewish dictatorship in Kiev, apart from anything else. More than they are confiscating from British pensioners.
As he orders his MPs to vote to freeze pensioners this winter, it is worth remembering that @Keir_Starmer has his own law to protect his pension and he pays no tax on it.
The “Conservative” government of that little Indian money-juggler had to go, had to be binned, but what has replaced it (as I predicted, though not alone) is a kind of useless, pointless, sleazy, box-ticking Blair Mark Two government of would-be dictatorial idiots, headed by chief idiot Starmer.

Starmer-Labour has a list of people they want to kill off or at least imprison and/or silence: pensioners (hardly any of whom vote Labour now), alternative political voices, those opposed to Israeli war crimes and the UK Jewish lobby.
This is a (barely-)”elected” dictatorship, composed mainly of people who can fairly, if loosely, be described as traitors.

That Dunt individual is not objective. I believe that he tweeted or retweeted about me a few times in the past. Unpleasant, and usually wrong in his views.
Starmer and his cabal think that the recent protests and their “riotous” offshoots are as bad as it gets for him and Labour. Think again. 4+ years of this type of quasi-tyrannical misgovernment and anything could happen.
“Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are set to be insulated from the impact of energy bill hikes as pensioners face a struggle without winter fuel payments.
The PM and Chancellor only pay a taxable benefit on running costs at the grace-and-favour apartments – capped at 10 per cent of their ministerial salaries.
It means that they contribute around £3,000 to cover all utilities and other expenses, and the sum will not go up when the Ofgem cap increases by 10 per cent next month.
…critics have warned that thousands of pensioners on low-incomes could die through lack of heating when the weather turns.”

This week, the questions seemed harder than usual. Political journalist John Rentoul only scored 2/10, and I did little better— 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 5, and 6.
🛑 REVEALED on @TalkTV: the public has *no right to know* where asylum seekers are housed and how much taxpayer money is spent on luxuries for their flats/hotels, in case it “damages their mental health and safety,” according to a landmark ruling by Information Commissioner 🙄😲
…and the Bar itself is now a bad joke, filled with semi-literate idiots who know nothing, and are terribly afraid of standing up to the “woke” police state. They put their financial interests first.
(((The usual suspects))) have been behind most of the Bar’s slide into irrelevance and falling prestige.
It is an incredible threat that embeds and kills everything that speaks against it. Deadly mind virus.
Covid was without doubt a risk to some, but it's danger was blown out of proportion, and in many cases, figures were inflated. it had a detrimental effect on the economy and the mental health of many, probably far surpassing the true dangers of the virus itself.
“Covid was without doubt a risk to some, but it’s danger was blown out of proportion, and in many cases, figures were inflated. it had a detrimental effect on the economy and the mental health of many, probably far surpassing the true dangers of the virus itself. governments were just winging it with many poorly thought out and unneeded decisions, and with heavy implementation of censorship taken up to silence those that opposed it, even though our own governments didn’t follow their own rules, of which they were forcing the entire country to follow. I can only hope I never see someone being paid to drive around blaring a “please stay inside” pre-recorded message out of a megaphone. This was however short term bullshit that we got out of. As for the metaphorical virus that we speak of; it will be far more pervasive, detrimental and long lasting to our country and the things that keep it ticking along. People are making decisions for our country based on a buzzword pissing match, and those that oppose it are being ever more censored, sacked, arrested or whatever else.“
The mind virus seems to take the form of “regulators”.
For “regulators“, read “censors“, “snoopers“, “Stasi” etc.

2. The young woman in question has never been in any trouble before. She has no idea what she has done, and the police are refusing to tell her.
This is Starmer’s Britain. You don’t need to be guilty of anything beyond holding the wrong opinion. Please follow @fictions_pulp and…
“1.BREAKING!!!! 19 year old woman visited by anti terrorist unit and @MerseyPolice yesterday. They asked her about her politics, if she is right wing, and why she had an ‘Anglo Saxon’ replica helmet in the house. They refused to say what she was accused of… They confiscated property… (a replica decorative sword hanging on her parents wall) and advised her: “Bite your tongue before talking on line.” @SpeechUnion@CollegeofPolice.”
The officers involved in this did not reveal they were from Counter Terrorism until they were inside the house. They questioned my daughter about her parents’ politics, they asked her about her religion and her political views .
The sheer cheek of the plods in question! Playing their “counter-terrorism” games. Put them back into uniform and get them patrolling “Murkyside’s” increasingly-dangerous streets.
Anyone who thinks that the above are not the tactics of a police state, even if —so far— a “poundshop” one, has not been paying attention.
The police (especially those ignorant of most relevant political and historical matters, and even relevant law, which means the vast majority) have no right and no business threatening the free speech of the people.
Keir Starmer has form for relegating the needs of women… When he was DPP, he was part of the team that gave protection to deluded cocks in frocks whilst ignoring actual women. https://t.co/YqvOyEb2fM
Never forget that, out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour at GE 2024 (and many of those “Labour” voters only did so in order to bin the “Conservative” misgovernment of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).
You turned up at the young woman’s home, refused to tell her the nature of the complaint, and warned her to “bite her tongue” before speaking in the future.
You imagine you’re the good guys. You are not. You are political gangsters. https://t.co/vBDCrGyXzi
This is shocking. "Bite your tongue before talking online" — an apt strapline for the Labour Government's approach to online free speech. https://t.co/IBb3IK2rPA
That is the slippery slope down which a society slides when it says “you can have free speech but not hate speech“— and guess (((which))) element is at the forefront of shutting down freedom of expression in our country? That’s right…”them”.
No. The UK does not reject hate, which you define as ‘dislike, ill feeling, and antagonism.”We have an absolute right to dislike. And both justice and Parliament rely on antagonism.
Without “‘dislike, ill feeling, and antagonism” as options, there remains only abject subservience to the police state, all “happy” shiny little mixed-race or pro-racemixing people, and all applauding the pseudo-liberal State and multikulti society. Intellectual discrimination is central to a progressive (in the real sense) society, a society about to rationally choose its path to the future.
Yvette Cooper, a member of Labour Friends of Israel, is evil, as well as having been an expenses fraudster and freeloader who has never been punished. She must be removed from any position of power.
The young woman whose home was invaded by the “Murkyside” poundland Stasi “counter-terror” bad jokes has tweeted:

In an ideal world, every single one of those poundland Stasi police would themselves have their homes violated, and possessions confiscated, and members of their families questioned and alarmed. Maybe one day…
Exact words were “bite your tongue before talking online”
Until very recent years, I retained a residual respect for the police, at least the rank-and-file. No longer. Useless at their proper job(s), and playing, many of them, at being “counter-terror” operatives. A bad joke force, nothing more.
My impressions (I did not watch the whole discussion): the CIA Director seemed more thoughtful, far more considered, and far less less gung-ho than the SIS Chief, who seemed shallow in his judgments. As in? Well, as in “the Ukrainians have the will to continue fighting“. Really? Is that why the Kiev regime has to employ press-gangs to recruit young-ish men? Is that why the Kiev regime is running out of soldiers willing to fight?
It seemed to me that the CIA Director was quite interested in finding a negotiated solution in Ukraine, whereas the SIS Chief seemed a far smaller figure altogether, foolishly referring to the Kiev regime as “our Ukrainian friends“. They are not our “friends” at all, but supplicants and beggars, arrogant demanding beggars at that.
The UK has virtually no common history with Ukraine at all, and of course Ukraine only became a state (and then, only in name) 30 years ago. Now a brutal, shambolic dictatorship.
Incidentally,
“In 2008, Burns wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: “Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”[17]“
[Wikipedia].
Pity that Burns is not Chief of SIS! Still, there it is…
What bs is Richard Moore putting out to the public (and to Government? Or is he telling the British Government what it wants to hear, as happened with one of his predecessors before the invasion of Iraq?), about how “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev) is fighting on, and even “winning” (does he go that far?—maybe not), the fact is that Russian forces are advancing, and will continue to advance, at present mainly in the Donbass region, then across all Eastern Ukraine, either this year or in 2025.
Why do Labour refuse to discuss all violent acts committed by black and minority people,but don't hold back when it's white people? I don't get that. 🤔
People still want to believe that the political and electoral systems are honest, and have the interests of the British people at heart, even as it becomes blatantly obvious that that is not so.
But they would be just stating facts…. I get the feeling that facts are racist, along with everything else. 🤔
Meanwhile, the new “Labour” bastards are throwing money at pointless “climate change” rubbish all over the world, at foreign aid, £3 billion a year going to the brutal and doomed regime of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev, and huge amounts of money are wasted on sheltering and feeding migrant invaders; and on all sorts of other useless and unwanted garbage.

Liz Truss is truly one callous piece of work. To even contemplate removing cancer treatments from the NHS just shows she is clinically insane. pic.twitter.com/ymAnhqlN1x
I am not usually a “hanger and flogger”, but it would please me to see Liz Truss’s carcass swinging and twisting in the wind.
Leaving the individual case behind, there is something very wrong with a system that elevates such unworthy individuals to the highest non-hereditary office. Not just Liz Truss (who only became an MP on her back in the first place). Look at Theresa May, who was an executive at the BACS cheque-clearing organization— hardly cutting-edge. That is before we even get onto the subject of “Boris”-idiot and others, including Starmer.
I’ll put my hands up and say Sunak & Truss for the Tories were diabolical but this tosser in 6 weeks has stolen their crown. We have seen some dangers and clueless PM. But don’t ever let a Labour voter take the piss out of you again. This guy is a complete disgrace. pic.twitter.com/Sxm17PRNz7
A suitable punishment for Liz Truss and others involved would be to lose their stolen money (e.g. via hyperinflation, or confiscation) and then to get cancer, the treatment for which they would be unable to receive without payment, which payment they would be unable to afford. That would be too just in this world, though, I suppose.
I continue to find this staggering. During the fall-out from Kwarteng's mini-budget, Truss wanted to meet the governor of the Bank of England but was advised against it by the cabinet secretary. She also reveals that she never met the governor in person. pic.twitter.com/gA97VVK2v4
She says that she did not meet the Governor of the Bank of England because she did not want to undermine the then Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng (aka “Woollyhead Trussbanger”).
Starmer and his cabal are rubbish, and tyrannical rubbish at that, but the only reason that they are sitting pretty with their huge Commons majority is because of the 14 years of equally rubbish “Conservative” misgovernment.
At the end, the voters were almost all desperate to bin the “Conservative” Party. Only 3 people out of every 20 eligible voters voted Con (3 out of every 12 that actually voted).
Both Starmer and ridiculous Ed Davey, the LibDem leader, benefited from the desperate wish of most voters to bin Sunak and his MPs. Starmer and Davey also benefited from the UK’s unjust and illogical FPTP voting system.

The USA is using Europe, particularly Poland, the pribaltika, and the UK as a first line of defence in any near-future and massive NATO-Russia conflict. European states should declare neutrality, and remove American bases and weapons.
An extreme example, of course, but even in the Second World War, the German High Command valued the average military units of the combatant nations as follows: every Waffen SS unit was worth 2 ordinary Wehrmacht units, 3 British or Russian units and 5 American ones.
Obviously, there are exceptions the other way. I recall meeting, many years ago, a few Americans from the more elite parts of the US Army and Navy, and they were very different.
The Kiev regime may become more powerful in terms of destructive rocket and drone activity, but the war will be won by the side with the greater number of soldiers, tanks, logistical capability, air power and, yes, rockets and drones.
That would be the Russian side.
The Kiev regime is having to press-gang recruits, and thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands are still trying to leave Ukraine and join the millions of others beyond the borders.
Both the USA and European states such as the UK are funneling money, arms and ammunition to Zelensky’s dictatorship, but with people willing and able to fight, that will not turn the tide of Russian advance. As to the money, well…
They look like Roma Gypsies to me, though well-disguised.

The BBC is an over-resourced disgrace now. The key is to either junk the “licence fee” (enforced tax) or to return the BBC to its Reithian principles: “inform, educate, entertain“, and in that order.

Imagine a city of between 500,000 and 1,500,000 in the UK, somewhere such as Birmingham (nearly 1M population), Liverpool (nearly 900,000 population), Nottingham (730,000), Sheffield (635,000), Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Leicester, and others.
Well, each of those cities have a roughly equivalent population to the influx into the UK of mostly non-Europeans every year. Many have smaller populations.
Only a lunatic, or someone completely brainwashed by System multikulti propaganda, could think that such a situation is in any way sustainable in a country the size of the UK. Housing, pay, State benefits (including pensions), rail, roads, education, public order, even water supply.
This is our economic model: 1) Spend more on "public services" – aka make way for more Night Czars and people who will spend your money on rainbow kayaking/ drag queen life drawing classes (real life examples of council spending). 2) Do nothing about factors increasing demand on…
1) Spend more on “public services” – aka make way for more Night Czars and people who will spend your money on rainbow kayaking/ drag queen life drawing classes (real life examples of council spending).
2) Do nothing about factors increasing demand on services – eg migration (legal and illegal) – while building nothing and rarely expanding infrastructure. Then act surprised when prices increase (“rent controls now!”), as well as demonising anyone who points out that migration is a form of demand. They must be a bigot, after all, for worrying about the UK spending approximately £10 billion a year on accommodation for asylum seekers – paired with runaway demand. Rich people can pay for it, or something; anyway, doesn’t demand just vanish into thin air?!
3) Allow eco loons to impose anti-car measures on some of the most economically productive and in-demand workers; eg plumbers, builders and others with practical skills who need a car for their job. Ensure that they lose jobs from sitting in traffic and are subject to punitive measures for not being able to cycle a new bath tab to a client. Add red tape as much as possible to everything. Get a small business to prove its commitment to environment and diversity before it’s actually broken-even.
4) Hire for every state sector job through the primary prism of immutable characteristics.
5) Ignore what jobs are in demand – eg. practical/ technology – and continue sending droves of young people to university to do subjects that bear no relation to what skills employers need. Remember, young people should be able to “follow their dreams” – all of them! – and anyone who says don’t do a degree in decolonising dinosaurs is anti working-class. Besides, if Brits won’t do jobs, we’ll just hire from abroad, so that demand for housing can increase, and with it rental costs – which young people will then blame landlords/ lack of rent controls for.
And voila = growth!“
I agree with pretty much all of that.
Please can someone explain this to me. Why do (most) Left wingers seem oblivious to supply and demand? It genuinely baffles me. Housing is the most obvious example. How can advocates of rent controls not see these would further limit supply or how migration is a type of "demand"?
Most people “think” via their feeling, i.e. via emotion, or via undisciplined will. They want to believe, so they do believe. Someone of the Zoe Gardner (near) “open borders” type is a typical example.
Most MPs now are enemies of the people. All of the present Cabinet are enemies of the people.
Left wing economics makes 0 sense. How can grown adults think that endlessly paying for “public services” – aka the likes of Amy Lame and eco loons making sure no one can drive to work (plumbers/ builders can surely cycle!) – means growth.https://t.co/kJ4UxC5jvk
People like Amy Lamé (a crazed American lesbian appointed —God knows why— as London “Nightlife Tsar” or something similar) are just a waste of space. She should be sacked and made to dig turnips, plant trees, or the like.
Incidentally, I seem to recall she tweeted unpleasantly to me about 8 years ago, when I still had a Twitter account.
“Public services” I support wholeheartedly, if they are useful. I am talking about (proper) police, fire brigades, public health workers (real ones, not “Covid crazies”), parks and park wardens, litter sweepers, public swimming pools, water supplies etc.
“In 2024, Amy Lamé was awarded her fourth pay rise a few days after the 2024 London Mayor Election, in which her pay for her 3 days a week role was increased to £132,846.[27]
Her role and the ability for the London Assembly to hold her to account has been a source of confusion, given that she is classed as a GLA member of staff[28] and therefore cannot be scrutinised by the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives or the Greens in the London Assembly.”

I first saw this amusing short documentary on American public TV in 1991 or 1992 (it was released in 1991). About a group of passengers on one of the Geest “banana boats” that (I think still) take cars and other items out from the UK to the West Indies, and then return with millions of bananas.
Such ships carry passengers because the income is a welcome extra, but they cannot carry more than (I think) 12, because any greater number would require the ship to have a doctor on board.

I might add that the BBC once made charming, interesting little films like that, about 40 or 50 years ago, but no longer.

Seems that Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal have now left the Edinburgh Fringe, where they tried to have an American black comedian “cancelled” and even arrested, but failed, themselves being laughed and booed out of the theatre where they had staged an incident, no doubt partly so that they would later be able to claim some kind of substantial monetary “compensation”, as they had done before, notably in relation to Kuwait Airways. https://www.thejc.com/news/kuwait-airways-pays-damages-to-woman-barred-from-buying-ticket-at-heathrow-for-being-israeli-c1vcjc8o.
Incidentally, read that Jewish Chronicle report. It says thatMandy Blumenthal filmed herself trying to buy the ticket. What normal passenger does that? Anyway, it is clear that (((other persons))) were doing the filming and, indeed, doing so covertly. She, despite being a UK passport-holder, deliberately used her other, Israeli, passport, so that she could make a fake claim, and so make money out of the refusal to accept her Israeli passport.
Note how, in the full video (shown in that Jewish Chronicle report) she also makes a false claim that the poor ticket sales fellow is “racially abusing” her. Seems to be an ingrained trait.
So Mandy Blumenthal received “substantial damages“…I wonder. £10,000? £20,000? More?
Of course the lawyers involved on her side all eventually received fat fees too, because Kuwait Airways also agreed to pay her “full” legal costs.
A total scam. At least this time they were caught out.
Here’s the first video clip of Mark Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal on the Fringe.
So far as I can tell, Reginald D Hunter is saying “Let’s end this peacefully”.
As I noted yesterday, I was quite surprised to see how immobile Lewis now is (by reason of multiple sclerosis). I might feel sorry for almost anyone else who is so afflicted physically (it may also affect him mentally, he being or having been on powerful drugs) but Lewis has been co-ordinating persecution of me by the Jew-Zionist lobby in the UK for about 12 years now, so any reserves of compassion I may have will be directed to others, others frankly more worthy.
Lewis is or was a “director” of “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], which was behind the complaint about me to the Bar Standards Board [BSB], in 2014, which resulted in my wrongful and actually unlawful disbarment in late 2016 (8+ years after I had ceased active practice at the Bar). A typically malicious political stunt. See below:
“A longer version of the clip released later shows the officer explaining to Falter that his approach was informed by the knowledge he had already deliberately walked out into the middle of the march and was therefore “looking to try and antagonise this”.
John Mann, the government’s antisemitism tsar, said Falter had been “quite explicit” about his intentions at the protest. “There’s no ambiguity in what he’s doing,” he told the BBC, saying he had been blocked by the CAA on the social media platform X and they were “not playing it straight”.
[Guardian]
Falter crowed mightily in the “sympathetic” sections of the (((Press))) and (((TV))) after my 2016 disbarment. After his 2024 Central London stunt failed, even quite vociferously pro-Israel individuals, such as David Aaronovitch (himself actually only half-Jewish, despite the name) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Aaronovitch], heavily criticized Falter and the “CAA”:
Listening now to the full account of the "openly Jewish" incident it is apparent that Gideon Falter was angling for an incident just like this. And an officer eventually provided it. Worth looking at the @CST_UK statement
But sympathy for Falter is beginning to drain away now the full facts are emerging. He's even lost the support of David Aaronovitch now the latter has seen the full video.
Lewis has been making, with others, malicious behind-the-scenes attempts, since 2012, to have me investigated and even charged by the police. I am aware of some of the details, incidentally. In fact, he was working, partly, in conjunction with an equally-malicious “CAA” Israel fanatic, Stephen Silverman (“CAA” “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”), and others (some now defunct) for years, trying to “get” me.
Several times over the past decade, police constables (in their new role as a poundshop Stasi), or those PCSO play-police (ditto), have come to my door, but I have never been arrested by any of them (the PCSOs have no specific power of arrest anyway).
I was “invited” (required) to attend an interview a couple of times: see, e.g.
As readers can see, that attempt to have me charged failed.
The “CAA” sub-terrorists then, in 2017-2018, pressured the then Director of Public Prosecutions and the then Attorney-General to have me charged with “incitement to racial hatred”, a charge which requires the assent of the A-G. No dice.
The “CAA” and its cohorts had already pressured (pre-Elon Musk) Twitter to have my popular Twitter account shut down. It was shut down (in 2018) but, silver-lining time, the deletion of the Twitter account meant that the “Clown” Prosecution Service could not acquire the evidence to ground any such proposed “racial incitement” charge. The “CAA” idiots had shot themselves in the foot.
Incidentally, the ear of the then DPP was bent by Israel-lobby fanatic and then MP, Ian Austin, who wrote demanding my prosecution.
Now in the House of Lords, Austin once or twice tweeted that bestiality pornography should be decriminalized.
One of the few who actually supported Austin publicly was none other than Bristol University Jewish student girl Sabrina Miller, now scribbling fake news at the Daily Mail, fake news such as the recent contrived tale of the “victimized Israeli couple, Shimon and Talia“, who however were then unmasked as being Mark Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal. Small world…
That did not stop Silverman and Lewis (etc), though.
The former made a completely false accusation against me in 2021, alleging that I had “racially-abused” him, something that was not only false, but in fact impossible, because I did not know his address or telephone number, had never seen him in person, and had no Twitter account (and had never once written, posted, or spoken to him). In fact, there was simply no evidence against me at all, but the suborned or compliant police of two counties still “invited” (required) me to an interview under caution: see
I still do not understand why Silverman was not charged with “wasting police time” or why he has also never been charged with the far more serious (indictable) offence of (attempted) perversion of the course of justice (there is actually no distinction). He is plainly guilty, having made a provably false criminal accusation against me. I suppose that “they” just get a free pass much of the time.
An account of my free speech trial last year (under the notoriously bad law of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, recommended for repeal by the Law Commission), my prosecution having been once again instigated by the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (Silverman):
Incidentally, Silverman actually turned up to gloat on both my day of trial in November 2023, and my days (there was an adjournment of a week or two) of sentencing in March 2024. He scuttled off pretty quickly after the sentence was handed down, and later tweeted (sub nom “CAA”) at how disgusting it was that I was not given a harsher sentence.
Incidentally Lewis’s behaviour towards his second wife, one-time minor “celebrity”, Caroline Feraday, apparently verged on —and arguably was— abusive. I don’t know about his first wife in detail, but both divorced him, in Caroline Feraday’s case after only a year. Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal are married now.

Almost exactly what not only is my view but was my view expressed on the blog long before GE 2024, though I disagree that the Con misgovernment was the lesser evil. Pretty much the same in most respects. People did not want fake Labour, Starmer-Labour, but they wanted to bin the fake “Conservatives” more.
As said repeatedly (and it needs to be repeated), Starmer-Labour has no real mandate because, regardless of the large number of seats bequeathed by a ridiculous electoral system, only 4 out of every 12 voters that voted, voted Labour; indeed, only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, because only 12 people out of every 20 eligible voters actually voted.
Even on the conservative basis of 4 out of 12 (33.7%), Labour really has no mandate to do all sorts of absurdly dictatorial things.

All part of the “blacks with everything” propaganda. Been going on for years now. Actual blacks are “only” about 4% of the UK population; even if you add in “browns” and others, the white (formerly known as English) population of the UK is still as much as 80% of the UK population, yet almost all the new faces on TV news and discussion shows are now non-white. A deliberate virtual “white genocide”.
So the Israelis have now killed over 40,000 people in Gaza, the vast majority non-combatants, and the majority of them women and children (or at least juveniles under 18).
According to the Israeli authorities themselves, the Jewish/Israeli death toll in Southern Israel arising from the attack by Hamas operatives on 7 October 2023 was just over 1,100, of which about a third were Israeli soldiers, police, and operatives of the Shin Beth security organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israel#Revision_of_casualty_numbers
So, Israeli death toll on 7 October 2023— about 1,180.
Palestinian Arab death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to date— over 40,000.
40x the number…
Also, the Israelis have made Gaza all but uninhabitable.
The question arises: at what point will the “Israelis” consider that they have received sufficient “payback”?
Talking point
I myself have not thought that for a long long time anyway…

You often find that MPs who are chucked out after having lost elections, and especially those who belong to “Friends of Israel” groups, are found well-paid jobs either heading such fake think-tanks etc, or similar “jobs” with various commercial regulatory bodies.

The Jews in Israel/Palestine will not be content (and in fact not even then) until they “own”, by conquest or trickery or terrorist gangsterism, all of the land in the country. Many of those Jew “settlers” (terrorists) are not even of “Israeli” origin, but have recently arrived from the USA, Australia, the UK, France etc.
Harold Wilson was (in the 1960s; he returned for a couple of years in the 1970s) Prime Minister at a time of transition, when Britain still had (more) remnants of our once-vast Empire, and when it still stood up sometimes to the demands of our supposed “ally” across the Atlantic. Wilson refused to join the USA in the Vietnam War, though Australia and New Zealand did, considering themselves bound by their SEATO membership [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization]. The UK, though, was also a SEATO member, as were other states.
Domestically, the UK still had so many possibilities (in the 1960s as well as the 1970s), partly because mass immigration had scarcely started, as compared to 2024 (you rarely, almost never, saw black, brown, or other non-European persons). The very few (literally one or two, except at Oxford University) seen by me in the 1960s in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, where I lived, were occasional people such as NHS consultants.
I should know what the UK was like back then: I was born in 1956.
In the 1960s, there were many modernizing developments in the UK (for good or ill, sometimes for good) such as the Open University, the first motorways (M1, M4), Concorde etc. Also, after 20 years, Britain was just starting to pull away strongly from the restricted post-WW2 atmosphere that had hung over the country since the Pyrrhic victory of 1945.
As for Wilson himself, I encountered him when I was 9, or maybe just 10, in 1966 (my birthday being in early September). I was for some reason determined to meet him and, knowing that he was on the island, stalked a few people who looked, to my mind, a bit like him until I found my quarry on the quay at Hugh Town, St. Mary’s, accompanied by his sole bodyguard, a slim “British officer” type with a pencil moustache, his pistol and holster hidden under a cricket jumper tied around his waist, only the thin brown gun belt over the shoulder giving it away.
[the 9-10 year-old Millard, at left, with younger brothers and Harold Wilson, in 1966]
Wilson has been much-criticized over the years, but had some good qualities, not only personally but politically. He was unlucky inasmuch as the trade unions were all-powerful at the time, and because Britain was still, psychologically, fighting the Second World War.

Darren Grimes and all those other “alt-right” talking heads and scribblers must have also missed the imprisonment of Alison Chabloz for having posted a few satirical songs and cartoons.
Other such free speech martyrs have included Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch).

I am beginning to think that Trump might lose this. Maybe that is why he is trying to get the Jews on-side. They may only comprise 2% of the American population, but their influence over the mass media makes their support all but indispensable for Trump.

People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?
“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.
“George Jeffreys, 1st Baron JeffreysPC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”
The judge said: "Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you…
“This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a yearhttps://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/“
I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?
I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.
The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.
Surely appealable, at least on sentence.
Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.
Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.
Strongly favours migration-invasion, and mass immigration generally. Pretends to think that it actually benefits this country! An enemy of Britain’s future.
@Fox_Claire on @BBCNewsnight just pointed out that while there are dedicated squads of police trawling social media for people to prosecute, if you call the cops because someone has burgled your house or stolen your car they're always too busy.

Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).
Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.
People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES
Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.
When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.
It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.
The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.
Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this

“The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.
It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.
The goal of the operation is to create the illusion of success so that warmongers in Washington will continue to send money to Ukraine, he emphasized.“
Exactly.

Parasites, scavengers and predators. I should like to offer a solution here but, sadly, “the usual suspects” and their political, police, and CPS puppets, have almost destroyed free speech in the UK, making any comment difficult, presently.

Shows how the left creates and uses sensible-sounding legislation to censor. See it says nurses can withdraw care for “discriminatory behaviour”. But parts of the Left think discrimination includes things like not addressing someone by their “chosen pronouns”. https://t.co/FXmbN2PSXv
That sort of thing is being driven by relatively small groups within each occupation, profession, and vocation.
I cannot say anything directly on the blog because we now have so little free speech in the UK (by reason, indeed, of those same “small groups”), so I shall just say “are you thinking what I am thinking?“…
A man has been jailed for posting 3 memes over 2 days showing real images of Asian gangs with the words "Coming to a town near you".
This is becoming like a scaled down and ridiculous copy of Stalin’s purges. As Marx noted, first time— tragedy, but second time— farce [Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon].
Of course, that poor fellow quite wrongfully sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, will not see the (unfunny) joke, even though his 8 weeks will in the end be something like 3 (he will be out after 40% of the headline tariff).
In my opinion, the defendant should have pleaded not guilty. Unfortunately, he seems to have pleaded guilty (perhaps on advice of his solicitor) to get a notional sentence reduction from 12 to 8 weeks.
Starmer’s thoroughly wicked and unconstitutional suggestion (almost a demand, at least an expressed presumption) that anyone pleading not guilty to any charge arising —however peripherally— out of the recent protests) would be remanded in custody until trial (which these days might be months or even a year later) was a direct attack on the rule of law. Plainly intimidatory, and designed to make defendants cave and plead guilty.
The latest I heard, something like 700 arrests have been made. How many charges, I do not know.
Compare those sentences of imprisonment merely for giving out a few online opinions (though the Court, “Clown” Prosecution Service and politicized police all try to make the “offences” seem far worse) with those handed down for real crimes committed in the same area, such as this one:
“A thief told the manager of a Carlisle Co-op store who had caught him stealing alcohol that he would return and “stab him” if he called the police, magistrates heard.
The defence lawyer representing prolific offender Elijah Ali, 34, told the city’s Rickergate court that the defendant denied making the threat. He did, however, plead guilty to the theft and to using threatening behaviour.
Prosecutor George Shelley outlined the facts.
He said the defendant and a second unknown male walked into the Central Avenue branch of Co-op at around 9.30pm on August 5 and began brazenly stealing alcohol from the shelves, picking up “numerous” bottles of booze and putting them in Ali’s jacket.
This prompted the store’s manager to make a 999 call, reporting that a theft was in progress and requesting urgent help.
The second male left the store but as he left, said Mr Shelley, Ali told the store manager: “If you call the police, I’m going to come back and stab you. That placed [the manager] in a state of fear.”
Ali’s record comprises 98 previous offences, 25 of them thefts and kindred crimes. “He’s a prolific offender,” said Mr Shelley.
Magistrates imposed a £200 fine and told Ali to pay the Co-op compensation of £200 as well as £85 costs and a surcharge.“
So a few online comments about a news item results in immediate imprisonment, but for a “prolific thief” (called Ali) with 98 previous convictions, and who threatened to stab a shop manager, only a minor fine (probably paid off at £5 a week).
Any comment, “Prime Minister”? That’s you, two-tier Keir.
I don’t understand this. Why does the Crown Prosecution Service “stand with” any community? It’s supposed to be an impartial body taking decisions based on the law of the land. Why does the CPS need “panels”? Who is on the panels? What influence do they exert? Worrying. https://t.co/1hx2LcA55w
The language gives it away (“our communities” etc).
I DARE YOU: Call me a racist! 😠@ThatAlexWoman is apoplectic. She breaks down mass immigration, women's safety & Two-Tier Kier. Pls share because the media WON'T show this.
Exactly. Some completely blameless tweets by seemingly blameless middle-aged ladies, and which I reposted on the blog, are now gone completely (including from the blog, because I usually embed them). The ladies in question seem to have been frightened into deleting not only the (entirely lawful) tweets but also their Twitter/X account(s).
“Two-tier Keir” is a hateful bastard. Yvette Cooper is no better. They are conspirators, trying to impose a “woke” multikulti police state upon this country.

“Today’s authoritarianism knows no boundaries. London’s Metropolitan Police Chief just told the world that he will be coming after anyone who violates British social media censorship rules with international extradition requests – to include American citizens.
Simultaneously, the EU’s Censorship “Kommisar” Thierry Breton just told Elon Musk he can’t allow EU citizens to witness tonight’s interview with President Trump.
The elites who want to decide what is permissible to read and watch justify their censorship by labeling dissenting opinions as “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “far right,” or “extremist.”
During the lockdowns, MI-6 designated me and other health freedom activists as potential “terrorists.” But the label applies more closely to themselves, as they try to scare us into submission again with bird flu hoaxes, debt-fueled financial collapse, and ever more dangerous imperial wars of choice.
His uncle, President John F. Kennedy, once said this:
Something about which Britain’s new “Labour” government (“elected” by only 20% of all eligible voters and a mere 33.7% of those who voted) might care to think.
Three white police officers were discriminated against because of their race.
A judge ruled they were passed over for promotion in an anti-white racist decision, where bosses chose an Asian instead to "boost diversity". Disgusting anti-white racism. https://t.co/PQxbQzYeVp
Journalists should be reading the signs about growing authoritarianism instead of enabling it. Unfortunately many are ideologically identical to the people they're paid to criticise. https://t.co/UlZDALPcNW
The point is that the UK’s authoritarian/totalitarian laws and procedures have, in many cases, yes, been in place for some time, but have not been extensively used; in fact used mainly during and after the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic of 2020-2022.

Bureaucrat-drone-dictator Starmer thinks that, by repressing free speech following the recent protests (and their riotous offshoots), he has somehow “solved” the problem that came across his desk. No. Every one of those recently sentenced, or sitting in some overcrowded jungle prison awaiting trial or sentence, now resents and hates Starmer and also the multikulti police state which he, Yvette Cooper, and Rachel Reeves, now head.
What does Starmer imagine will be happening in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with British people scarcely able to make a living, to pay exorbitant rents, to buy houses the cheapest of which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or to walk the streets of their own cities safely?
Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of migrant-invaders arrive illegally on our shores. Thousands more, every day, enter at least quasi-“legally”.
Britain is heading for a dystopian conflict never seen before.
"The Labour government will soon expand the definition of “Islamophobia”, creating a blasphemy law that will shut down debate about Islam, not least as it tries to appease its shaky coalition of Muslim and radical woke voters"https://t.co/zV4J9VyUSV
Maybe also making “holocaust” “denial” (i.e. examination and historical revision, particularly of events of the 1940s and 1930s) illegal in the UK. Don’t forget that Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and that his wife is Jewish.
"You're really no longer a country if you don't have a secure border"
703 illegal migrants entered Britain yesterday, the biggest daily number since Labour took power. Total this year now 18,342, 13% up on same point last year.
As I said, this crisis is only going to get worse until somebody takes control of our bordershttps://t.co/NmI46TvxuA
Don’t forget the others, the ~1,000,000 migrant-invaders that entered “legally” in the past year, or the births to non-European mothers.

Kiev-regime announcement
The Kiev regime has announced that it “is not interested” in hanging on to the little strip of land it recently invaded in the Kursk region of Russia.
Translation: the forces of the Kiev regime only made the incursion so that Zelensky and his cabal could claim to Western mass media that they are “winning”, or at least continuing to fight.
In reality, the Kiev-regime incursion forces, mostly press-ganged and poorly-trained serf-soldiers, have been mainly wiped out, and the rest are —literally— dying to be able to drive back over the border to Ukraine and relative safety.
The Kiev-regime incursion was never sustainable; the territory gained for a day or two, or a week or two, could never have been held.
I am worried, though, for the dim Ukrainian soldiers and their grieving, or soon-to-be-grieving families, and also for the Russian civilian families in the Kursk border region, their lives disrupted by this stupid publicity stunt.
At the same time, the Russian advance in the south-east continues steadily.

“Just walked through Huddersfield city centre. Really struck by the starkest of contrasts.
Some older women sat outside a Merrie England cafe (remember ‘em?), trying to enjoy a civilised afternoon tea.
They were surrounded by the stench of weed, people shouting in foreign languages, couples in tracksuits hurling abuse at each other, gangs of lads hanging around, beggars off their faces.
Nothing noteworthy about the scenario – just everyday stuff in yer standard Red Wall town. But I was impressed by the dignity and stoicism of the women. The rest of it almost reduced me to tears.”

I would suggest a few things, but no doubt that would bring the boring police drones to my door once again, as has happened several times in the past decade. They are the footsoldiers of the multikulti “woke” police state now re-energized by Starmer.

📍Dundrum, Tipperary.
This tiny Irish village of 200 people was forcibly planted this morning. 280 ‘asylum seekers’ are to be housed in this hotel, replacing the local population overnight.
Why is pathetic Sinn Fein supporting the migration-invasion of Ireland, and certainly not properly opposing it?
I really want someone to do this. There are a number of projects that are going to need to be people-led as 80% of the media seem to have abdicated their duty. We need better statistics to understand patterns, authority failures; to diagnose etc. https://t.co/c9SmOc0T0N
I remember seeing this sorta thing a few years ago and it worrying me, due to my "Patsy from Ab Fab" ways. Somehow in July last year I gave up booze. Everything improved! You don't need a "rock bottom" or epiphany. You can just feel "blurgh". Tomorrow could even be the day 🙂 https://t.co/7VLtoJ9Qtn
Strange. I have read about the increase in alcohol consumption during the “lockdown” nonsense or 2020-2021. I went the other way, almost stopping my relatively-modest consumption.
There have been times in my life when I drank little or nothing, other times when my consumption was quite high. I suppose the latter was true of when I was living in the former Soviet Union, in the Caribbean, and in France, as well as when I was practising at the English Bar (during the years 1992-1996 and 2002-2008).
Now, most days, I drink no alcohol at all. No particular reason predominates. It may be partly a function of increasing age (I shall be 68 next month, ironically on the same day as the birthday of “two-tier Keir” Starmer, though he is six years younger than me).
Another reason is that the wines, especially the red wines, that I once liked, such as Chateau Margaux, are extremely expensive (I suppose they always were, but that I notice it more now), or are hard to source (some Moldavian and Georgian wines).
One kind of booze I do like is what the French term eaux de vie, such as 40%+ Kirsch and Poire Williams etc.
A Central and Eastern European taste too, that I must have picked up somewhere or other, is Slivovitz (plum spirit), which UK Lidl had on sale recently (I bought 2 bottles, 42% alc.), and what the Hungarians call palinka, fruit spirit, which may be distilled from one fruit, or a mixture. Apricot is probably my favourite, though I have not had any for well over 20 years.
On a hot day, though, beer is often the best drink (apart from water). I used to like (30-40 years ago), Zhiguli beer from Russia, which was at that time sold in the UK, in Selfridges. Czech beer is pretty good, of course, as is some Polish.
When I was living in Turkey for a few months, I liked Tekel beer, made by a State enterprise. It no longer exists, at least in that form.
One type of wine that I liked a lot in the 1980s, and early 1990s, was the kind of white wine produced in Australia at that time, especially heavily-oaked quality Chardonnay. Harder to find now, of the same type. Maybe tastes have changed, and the producers have followed suit..

The people cheering on the destruction of #FreeSpeech in the UK (because they think it gives them power over their peers) reminds me of the crowds cheering Mao's regime as it murdered citizens and erased history.
The most frightening revolutions happen to the sound of applause.
As I noted on the blog during the “Covid” hysteria, the self-describing “left”, including almost all of the “human rights” tribe, were all in favour of more severe “lockdowns”, more severe penalties, dissidents and people ignoring the “Covid” hysteria to have all civil rights taken away, deprived of all medical treatment, even when entirely unconnected to “the virus” etc.
Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost of of its former ideology and direction, and seems to exist purely to cheer on the right labels (“Covid”, “Ukraine”, “BLM”, “trans”-whatever) and of course “Labour”, despite Labour (also) having lost all or 99% of its former ethos. That, and to “deplatform” from everywhere possible any people who are labelled derogatively by them.
I agree. She was scapegoated. I'm not saying her tweet was fine. When I saw it, then her mistake, I thought, bloody hell. But NEVER did I imagine her being carted off for police questioning. I think the fact she's wealthy & good looking plays into some of the glee over her arrest https://t.co/Xx4JfqCvha
Professor Tettenborn is someone I met a couple of times in Exeter circa 2002-2003. He was at that time the professor at the law faculty of Exeter University. I was in a small set of barristers (now very much larger and, under another name, the largest in the South West outside Bristol; the former head of my old set is now a Circuit Judge).
I sat with Professor Tettenborn and another as a notional “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot competition held in the Guildhall at Exeter in mid-2002. My only day as a Lord Justice of Appeal, or indeed any sort of judge.
Incidentally, the winner of the moot (out of three student contenders) was a young Anglo-Armenian who had engaged in some sharp practice during the competition. We three “Lords Justices of Appeal” discussed disqualifying him, but in the end relented. As a student advocate, he was head and shoulders above the other two students, and we thought that that had to be recognized.
A few years later, as a young barrister, the same person got into trouble over allegations of sex harassment (not in my own Chambers but another set), I heard. Not sure whether that went to the Bar Standards Board (I think it did), but the person in question is still, I believe, at the Bar and still based in Exeter; I think that he was also, quite a few years ago, an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for MP at Exeter.
All a long time ago now.
Professor Tettenborn also made a very cogent case at the Law Commission inquiry as to whether the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, should be repealed. That was what was recommended, but the section has so far not been repealed, and is regularly misused either by the police/CPS or by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
