Chris Bryant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bryant] is, in lay language, a traitor. Member of Labour Friends of Israel, pro-Israel warmonger, and supporter of mass immigration into this country. A very sleazy ex-Church of England priest, former Common Purpose employee, and also an expenses cheat, effectively a fraudster. Appalling in every way.

People such as Bryant get money, honours etc in our degraded country. Just disgusting.

A sterilization programme should be high on the agenda (probably not necessary in the case of Bryant, though).

The voters of Rhondda, now Rhondda and Ogmore, have been too silly in the past to see that Labour (since 1997, at least) gives them nothing, and have voted Bryant in, repeatedly, despite everything about him saying “no“. However, Reform must at least be in with a chance next time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhondda_and_Ogmore_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The Kiev regime has shown itself capable (both in moral terms and practically) of carrying out quite sophisticated attacks akin to terrorism in and around Russia. What it cannot do is to win where it matters— in the battlefield space. Russian forces continue to make steady if unspectacular progress across Eastern Ukraine.

[Lindsey Graham, among others]

I think the next UK General Election has probably just been won.

Raus!

This is what happens when you commit mass ethnic cleansing, drive out the original inhabitants of a country, then repopulate that country with the sweepings of the ghettos, prisons, and labour camps of Europe.

Then the courts will have to be dealt with. We are getting into the glacial mess that characterizes American politics, whereby the executive power is trammelled by politicized judges (on the Supreme Court of the USA in that country, and by various higher courts in the UK).

Salus populi suprema lex esto— the welfare of the people is the highest law [Cicero].

As for that lady tweeter, she is fatally out of touch with the English/British heartlands. She has founded an offshoot of the Conservative Party she calls #Moderates. Her ex-husband was MP for Poole, turfed out by a mere 7 votes at GE 2024, and she was employed by him at about £50,000 a year via his Parliamentary expenses, “a nice little earner” (until it stopped).

I do not know whether the pseudo-Conservative “Moderates” exist outside the lady’s own mind (I suspect not); neither do I know whether they are the product of a bottle of whatever the lady may habitually drink.

In any event, the “Moderates” idea goes nowhere. UK politics (as this blog has always predicted) are becoming more “extreme”. People want clear and radical policies to —and I use the word advisedly— save this country at a very late hour.

At a guess, an educated guess, I should say that the policies for which that lady advocates (pro-immigration, getting rid of the Triple Lock, rejoining the EU, supporting the Kiev regime etc) would, as a compendium, probably attract the votes of, at best, 5% of the population. At best. Totally out of touch. In any case, there is already a party that pushes such policies— the LibDems (currently around 10% in the polls, but mainly because they are a default choice or “dustbin party”).

At, again, a guess, I should think that the membership of the so-called “Moderates” consists of the lady herself and however many bottles she can line up.

If “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves scraps the Triple Lock, almost all voters from about age 50 or 55 will scrap her and, with her, Labour. At a time when Labour are running at about 20% in the opinion polls, that would be the final nail, if not already hammered home, in the Labour coffin.

As noted previously on the blog, a little judicious “racism” would have saved untold thousands of young English girls from being raped, exploited, and/or impregnated by non-Europeans. Unfortunately, System “education” in the UK (and other European countries, such as Norway and Sweden) does not teach young white English/British girls only to have relations with white English/British/real European men. On the contrary, it encourages race-mixing.

[BDM (League of German Girls) riders in the forest, 1930s]

How much longer can the exhausted army of the Kiev regime (those troops not killed, captured, or badly wounded) keep the front-lines intact? Not long, I think, no matter how much money and materiel the EU and USA send to Zelensky.

The poor taxpayers of the EU and UK are having billions of Euros wasted, thanks to Starmer, Macron, Merz, Ursula von der Leyen etc throwing money at the Zelensky regime.

I should not be surprised were the Jew Zelensky not to end up like Mussolini or Gaddafi; having said that, he will probably flee to California, Florida, or Israel.

I would not usually repost something from such a Jew-Zionist fanatic, but truth is truth, and his tweet there is completely correct.

Like something from a dystopian sci-fi film. The karmic weight on the (Israeli and other) Jews will be backbreaking.

A good idea. After all, turning it around, what stops Russian tanks also stops those of Western Europe. The Soviet Union would have been defeated in 1941 had it had decent roads. I like the restoration of Nature anyway.

It has been said before on the blog, but…that, believe it or not, is our “Deputy Prime Minister”, a thick-as-two-short-planks woman with no cultural or intellectual background to speak of, and whose leisure pursuits (preferably paid for by others) include noisy brainless “clubs” in Ibiza, “vaping”, being tattooed (it appears), and God-knows-what else.

Sometimes even I find it hard to believe how far this country has fallen.

Looking at Twitter/X, it seems that many are assuming that Angela Rayner will replace Starmer as Labour Party leader eventually. Really? I have no time for Starmer-stein, but…Angela Rayner? Well, hopefully, Labour is going down to historic defeat in a few years, so the “Deputy Prime Minister” will never actually occupy 10, Downing Street.

On the wider picture, I now find this country one that, increasingly, I do not recognize, and filled with the sort of people with whom I have nothing at all in common beyond breathing and other core necessities.

More accurately, or put more simply, “they” do not empathize…

A sociopathic tribe.

Another example?

Beyond the surface chatter about sex trafficking etc, there is of course the involvement of one or more elements of Israeli Intelligence with the Jew Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell is half-Jew, and her father is said to have been the main MOSSAD agent in Europe (and was eventually buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, apparently a signal honour, though Ghislaine Maxwell is said to believe that MOSSAD killed her horrible father after he outlived his usefulness): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell#Mossad_allegations;_Vanunu_case.

Indeed, she has nothing, beyond an unmerited position and its consequent high salary and expenses (Rayner has just bought another property, a third home, this time in Hove, Sussex).

No-one. as far as I know, has as yet devised a named political ideology based on the behaviour and activities of the “chavscum” part of UK society. “Raynerism”?

Another NWO/ZOG political puppet.

One could imagine, in a year or two, the Kiev regime having piles of unused arms and ammunition, but few if any soldiers to use them.

Israel is doomed.

The Notting Hill Carnival, born as a tiny entity in 1966, and which still only involved 500 participants or so in the early 1970s, has become a monster. It is actually horrible.

I went once, out of curiosity. That would have been sometime in the early to mid 1980s, but I forget which exact year. My impressions: unpleasant and unpleasantly loud amplified “music” of some sort; costumed performers dancing on the back of trucks; nowhere to get a break from it, or the hot sun; pressing crowds, mostly though not entirely blacks. I recall buying a small bottle of not very pleasant palm wine for about twice what you might expect. I also recall having to walk all the way back to Little Venice because the Underground stations for miles around were shut for safety reasons, and there were of course no buses or taxis anywhere.

Never again.

In fact, most English people, including most local residents and business owners, would like to bin the Notting Hill Carnival, but the authorities are aware that that would cause black riots which would probably devastate half of London, so “Carnival”, attended now by 2 million from all over the country and beyond, still happens, tolerated not out of choice but because the authorities and English people are effectively blackmailed. A sort of parallel or metaphor for the unenthusiastic toleration of non-white populations in general in this country.

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

Incidentally, the lady tweeting above knows Notting Hill and surrounding areas rather well, and usually supports mass immigration. I suppose it is different when you yourself, or your friends and family, are affected…

[“Just to be clear. To believe Lucy Connolly’s defenders you have to also believe the police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the initial prosecution barrister, the initial defence barrister, the initial judge and three individual appeal court judges were all acting under direct orders from Keir Starmer.“]

No, you don’t. It is a question of a febrile surrounding atmosphere, and “a nod and a wink”, and/or legal careerists doing what they presumed was “expected” of them.

You see this time and again in England. For example, the heavy sentencing of those convicted of “antisemitic”-related offences: Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch).

The same is true of the msm, when “antisemitism” is discussed or, rather, not discussed but pro-Jew-Zionism used as an a priori viewpoint.

Look at what happened during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic. Police, courts, lawyers, doctors, msm talking heads and scribblers, all on the same propaganda page.

Keir Starmer did not openly “direct” heavy-handed policing and subsequent sentencing last year, though he came pretty close to that in his public utterings. No, we are talking about lawyers and judges apprehending what the System (which employs them) wants.

Very English….the same was the case in my free speech trials, both in the magistrates’ court (2023-2024) and before the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal (2016).

I rarely support Allison Pearson, a foolish scribbler tied-in with the Jew-Zionist extremists, but she is basically correct here.

Because Dan Hodges is not a very perceptive social and political commentator.

You cannot dismiss a judge who has already retired.

“Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves (who seems invisible at present) is a clown, and one not at all in charge of the circus.

Ha ha! So true.

I think that I may have acquired a book there myself, about 27 years ago. Either there or at another bookshop in the same area. I no longer have that book, but it was a good read: A Diamond Fell into My Pocket, by a rascally but amusing (in print) Jew who made huge amounts of money (and then gambled it all away) by posing as a businessman or wealthy visitor, and covertly changing real diamonds for cubic zirconia— stones that look like diamonds but are not: https://www.gemsociety.org/article/cubic-zirconia-vs-diamonds/.

Recommend those memoirs, by the way: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Diamond-Fell-Into-My-Pocket/dp/0316881120.

I saw and heard a raven yesterday. The Norsemen considered the raven “the finger of Fate” and a bird sacred to Odin (Wotan).

Odd. Very odd, in fact, but I (sort-of) see from where they are coming.

Dan Snow [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Snow] represents much of what I despise in this country: a careerist whose career was started and fuelled by nepotism, a System propagandist (pro-EU, pro-immigration, pro-“Covid” “measures”, lockdowns, “vaccines” etc), anti-Russian, pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby (I think) etc.

Incidentally, while condemning most English people to lives blighted by mass immigration, social breakdown etc, Snow lives, with his wife (second daughter of the 6th Duke of Westminster) and their children, in a country house with a private beach, in the New Forest. Typical.

So hundreds of millions will now be spent on “processing” the cases. About 80% will be rubberstamped OK. The untermenschen will then be released into “the community”, i.e. given free accommodation (probably ahead of most English/British people), social security/”welfare” monies, and will then be a permanent millstone around the necks of the people. Many cannot even speak English to a rudimentary level, most have no qualifications of any sort, most cannot drive legally. What jobs can they do? Few, even if they want to, which most do not.

These “asylum-seekers” (or grantees, once approved) will be, at best, permanent parasites here. Some may also do cash-in-hand work such as illegal taxi-driving, pizza delivery etc. Quite a few will take part in various forms of criminal activity. A (relative) few will be active terrorists.

Not only can we not build a better society with such detritus, the flotsam and jetsam of the world, but we shall be unable even to maintain the society that we now have. You can already see it happening— the slide to dystopia.

The fanatical Jew-Zionists cannot see that, because their whole world-view is toxic, poisonous, self-interested.

The same thing can be seen, for example, when the Israeli planes bomb a hospital in Gaza or elsewhere, killing and horribly wounding hundreds of women and children, and the Jew-Zionist fanatics find out that a Hamas or Hezbollah platoon (or whatever) was hiding in a basement of that hospital and say “see, we were justified in bombing the hospital!“…

Someone once said, “they are the simulacrum of the human“. Best description I have ever encountered.

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 6, and 9.

[“The reason Substacks and new media are thriving is because millions of people are utterly sick of the same liberal centrist dross being served up and shoved down our throats —from the BBC to much of the MSM—and then presented as some kind of “insight” when, in reality, it reflects the worldview of a 5-10% elite minority who still think we are living in 1997 and have failed to see that, actually, people don’t want liberalism on steroids. This elite minority is filled with people who went to the same schools, the same universities, who all basically think the same, live in the same postcodes, and are so obsessed with conforming to the Groupthink or their own social status that they never come close to representing or understanding the wider country. The only thing they want to do is maintain a dismal status-quo that was largely built by this elite class to serve the interests of this elite class. You can criticise me, that’s fine, but this is also why we are now one of the largest independent politics newsletters in the West (http://mattgoodwin.org), and why many others are also emerging, because people see through the Blob and they’ve had enough of it. Because they are the ones having to live with the reality of what this elite class has done to the country —an elite class that now also has the gall to say “yes we get your concerns but don’t be too annoyed/we don’t like your tone”. Do you see how utterly deluded large parts to legacy media now look to everybody else? Look for example at the stuff your own paper has been pushing on immigration. It is so obviously biased and disconnected from the mounting pile of evidence that it is embarrassing to read and, even worse, the reason you won’t change your tune is because you view the truth as “low status” and everybody can see it. Do you have one columnist, a single columnist, who genuinely reflects the mood of the average voter right now? Nope. Hence why the Tories are collapsing. Hence why legacy media is haemorrhaging viewers and listeners. Hence why liberal centrists (sorry, “conservatives”) are sitting around, scratching their heads, wondering why nobody is interested in them anymore. Still, the failures of MSM are what is driving the success of new media and the realignment of politics so keep doing what you’re doing …“]

We are the “Noticers”…

Good, but not enough.

The “rubber boat” invaders are only 5% of the overall problem; indeed, if births to non-Europeans are taken into account, even less.

I think that the British people have largely made up their collective mind: Farage and Reform are slightly underwhelming, but are the only game in town to vote for in order to hit out at the System parties that have done so much damage. Everyone now knows that, at every by-election, and every local election, from now until the next general election, and then at that general election, the way to stamp on both Lab and Con is to vote Reform.

The Reform vote at the next general election will probably be between 30% and 45%, and even the 30% level will be enough to sink Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel regime.

“Labour” ceased to be “the party of the working man” a long long time ago, and certainly no later than 1997.

An utter cretin.

I shall be interested and amused to see the progress, if any, of the new party being set up by Corbyn and the comedic-named Zara Sultana. I am told that about a quarter of Labour members will join, defecting from Starmer-Labour. A quarter of members, maybe, but I apprehend that only about a tenth of Labour voters, if that, will defect at the next general election. At present, official Labour is registering about 20%-28% in the opinion polls. That seems to put Corbyn-Labour on maybe 2% or 3%. I doubt that Corbyn’s new party will attract more than 10% of the entire election vote; maybe 5%. Even 10% may not result in more than one or two MPs. Corbyn himself, and maybe Ms. Sultana, in both of whose constituencies the vote may be more concentrated.

[“If you are not from the UK then you should know there are currently dozens of protests happening right now across the country against illegal migration, broken borders, the sexual assault of our children, and the fact our own government is using our own money to outbid our own people in our own housing market by bankrolling private firms to put illegal migrants into the heart of our communities with more favourable rental contracts, all while giving us a bill of £7 BILLION a year and calling us “far right” if we say anything about it.”]

Impressive, but no more so than the one that stood in the garden of my parents’ house at Reigate Hill, Surrey, circa 1980. The house itself was called Sequoiah (the Native American name for giant redwood). I think that tree was about 100 years old at the time.

As always, “they” seek control…

The recent Israeli attack on Iran has no doubt convinced any waverers in Iran that the only meaningful defence against Israeli aggression is to match the Israeli Jews in nuclear capability. Israel has created its own nemesis, as in a Greek tragedy.

One could also imagine Iran employing fleets of drones to exhaust the Israeli air defence shield, then using hundreds, even —in a future year— thousands of powerful conventional-warhead missiles, to overwhelm the remaining Israeli defences and to level the Dimona nuclear site, the Ben-Gurion airport, and Tel Aviv itself, without even having to use nuclear weapons.

Of course, Iran is a long way from Israel (at least 1,200 miles border to border), far beyond the flying distance of most drones at present, though some of the most advanced ones being used in the Ukraine war can reach about 600 miles.

Time will tell, but I think that Israel is doomed.

Not so sure about that. The protests may be at present mostly “peaceful” but the pressure on government comes from the fear that they may well become not-“peaceful”.

In any case, even if all the hotels are closed, the migrant-invaders will not be eliminated but will simply be hidden in the multikulti trash “communities” which now scar much of Britain. The taxpayers will pay out for either social housing or expensive private housing for the invaders.

Most if not all of those cities are already ghastly; God knows what they will be like in 5, 10, 20 years’ time.

[“Liberal commentators like Nelson and Finkelstein are guilty of what philosophers call the moralistic fallacy – the belief that something *cannot* be true simply because it would be morally undesirable if it were. Let’s take their objections one by one: (1) No one is claiming that every illegal migrant is a sex offender. The debate concerns specific cohorts of young men from particular countries and the *higher* statistical risks they bring, not blanket slurs on every individual. Pretending otherwise is a cheap straw man. (2) The phrase “whipping up protest mobs” is dishonest and demagogic. Protest is a democratic right, and the anti-migrant hotel demonstrators are overwhelmingly decent, peaceful, and diverse in background. If anything, these protests are moral, given that successive governments have refused to repeal the Human Rights Act or reopen detention centres… the very measures needed to deliver on their own manifesto promises. (3) No one is “thrilled” by the prospect of ethnic violence. Quite the opposite. The idea fills many of us – myself included, and academics like David Betz – with dread. It is not something we want to happen. But intellectual honesty demands that we take the risk seriously rather than banish it to the realm of taboo. (4) The claim that white Britons face harsher treatment in the courts is a subject that needs proper academic inquiry. But the grooming gangs scandal already provide enough evidence to suggest a form of two-tier justice exists. Columnists like Finkelstein just can’t adapt to the demographic and political realities staring them in the face. They’re stuck in a New Labour/Cameron-era timewarp, clinging to scripts the public has long since stopped buying. They remind me of that tragicomic band Crème Brulee from The League of Gentlemen – especially Les McQueen, forever trapped in nostalgia, boring anyone within earshot with tales of his glory days.”]

We know what may have to happen in the end, but are “not allowed” to discuss it publicly, or to post analysis or comments about it.

In any case, the “rubber boats” invasion is only about 5% of the overall migration problem, which consists of cross-Channel rubber-boat invaders, “students”, “fiancees”, “family members”, fake “tourists”, “key workers” (mostly low-pay employees) and, last but not least, births (to immigrant mothers, to mothers whose parents were immigrants, and to white British women who have been impregnated by non-whites).

Eventually, the future will have to be faced; mass immigration and migration invasion is not the whole of it, though an important part of it. It is also cultural, social, and economic.

I agree. The judge who allowed himself to be “nod-and-wink” told to pass a truly Draconian sentence, as Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper wanted, thus showed himself unfit to sit in the seat of judgment.

On the blog yesterday, I highlighted the case of two South London thugs convicted a day or two ago of (in one incident) serious theft, grievous or actual (I forget) bodily harm using fists, feet, and a baseball bat, and serious criminal damage (wrecking a car), the victims being a man in his 50s and a pregnant woman.

Incredibly, the judge in that London case gave the defendants (one having serious previous convictions) a suspended sentence, plus a bit of unpaid picking up of litter etc, and rather modest compensation (probably will never be paid). Why? Mainly because (the judge said) the prisons are full to bursting; also because the defendants might be able to access some kind of anger-management bs.

Incidentally, Lucy Connolly may now be “free”, and able to return to her unwell husband and two small children, but will still have to undergo the boredom and silliness of being under probation supervision bs for another 22 months!

One more untermensch to be captured and put on the one-way train…

After Reform— the deluge (real social nationalism).

Incidentally, that poll would translate into a Commons with no less than 434 Reform MPs, 68 Labour, 51 LibDems, 42 SNP and 25 Cons (etc). As near to an electoral revolution as anything.

That refers to the GI Bill brought into law by F.D. Roosevelt. It gives those who have served in the U.S. armed forces free university education, free medical services etc.

In its original form, it did not extend those benefits to those who served in the armed forces of other countries. Seems that Israel has had its puppets in Congress make yet another pro-Jewish-lobby “exception”.

Russian forces continue to advance steadily, if slowly. The Kiev-regime forces are now incapable of mounting anything beyond a static “hedgehog” defence line, and are incapable of mounting any serious counter-attack, let alone a counter-offensive.

Well, who could have foreseen that?…

Well, I had better not post anything…inflammatory…lest I end up being unjustly imprisoned as Lucy Connolly was…

Anyway, as often noted on the blog, “rubber boat” migration invasion and the consequent “asylum hotel” aspect is only about 5% of the overall problem (even less if you take into account births).

Still no detail about her parentage, background, education, affiliations, work history (if any) outside pro-invasion “activism” etc.

She will have no future in a social-national UK.

I think that, on some level, the System wants a limited uprising, which can then be suppressed but also used to bring in yet more anti-free-speech, anti-protest measures. It may backfire, though, and then trigger a national revolution, the way things are going…

Translates to: Reform about 360 MPs and a comfortable Commons majority, Labour 113, LibDems 59, Cons 54 [etc].

One thought: is a fifth of the electorate really intending to vote “Conservative”? Seems very doubtful to me.

What the Israeli Jews (with help and money from Jews across the world) have done to Palestine generally, not just Gaza, over the past 77+ years, is not only appalling, but is a warning to non-Jews in the rest of the world.

In the well-known phrase, “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance“…

[“The Hebrew newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” reports from a foreign report: Data from Pentagon documents clarify the American difficulty in replenishing the stockpile. During the “12-day war,” the United States used more than 100 THAAD missiles – that is a quarter of the system’s operational stock. However, the production pace does not keep up with the required support for “Israel”: last year, only 11 THAAD missiles were produced, and this year only 12 are expected to be produced. According to American experts, this is a very rare resource and constitutes a critical part of the American deterrence system even against other adversaries like China.”]

Long-term and regular readers of the blog will know that I have blogged a few times about the month I spent at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1998 (part of three straight months I spent in Egypt that year). Siwa had slave caravans coming through from Central Africa to the Nile and Nile Delta right up until the 1940s, I think the late 1940s.

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

One of several unusual features about Siwa is that, at least until the late 20thC, men were not allowed to marry until aged 40, but girls were always married by their early teens. I was told that the girls now finish their schooling first (whether that means 16 or 18, probably 16).

“Both men had their sentences suspended after Judge Vanessa Baraitser considered the bursting prison population and an assessment by the Probation Service that found both defendants were unlikely to reoffend if they took up the opportunity to do self-help workshops. Both must pay compensation to their victims and attend rehabilitation days instead.

Williams-Gillett reached through the window and took his car keys. When his pregnant partner asked for the keys back, Williams-Gillett tried to punch her. By now the dad 50, had come back down the stairs and tried to pull Williams-Gillett away from the partner, triggering a brutal assault.

“Your response to that was to launch a violent attack on him. To stab him repeatedly to his face, so hard the keys were bent out of shape from the impact,” said Judge Baraitser.

Unable to start the car, the man phoned his cousin for help, while Williams-Gillett’s brother Fabian Bennett also arrived carrying a metal baseball bat. Bennett immediately set to work on the dad with the baseball bat, hitting his legs, ribs, and body. Williams-Gillett also joined in the beating, kicking the dad and using the baseball bat.

Bennett then turned to the pregnant woman, grabbed her by the throat, and bent her backwards over a fence while goading her partner ‘using her as bait’. When the cousin arrived in his Citroen, the man and his partner got in the car while Williams-Gillett used the bat to smash the windows, including where a child was sitting.

The cousin was punched in the face, but the first male victim managed to drive everyone away leaving his Hyundai behind. When he came back to get the car, the doors had been broken and his partner’s purse containing £350 in cash and her Monzo card was stolen.

Williams-Gillett was sentenced to 18 months suspended for 20 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must also pay £1,700 in compensation. Bennett got 12 months suspended for 18 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must pay £500 compensation.”

Look at how that young woman is able to chase one who threw water at her, and kick another in the rear!

Myerson’s comment is improper. He should be reported (again) to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/.

Also, there should be reform of this whole outdated and degraded “KC” stuff.

In the 1920s, only a few (3 or 4) KCs were granted “letters patent” annually. Back then, to be “KC” really meant something. Today, almost everyone and his dog sports the “KC” label:

“In 1959, there were 181 practising Queen’s Counsel. Between 1966 and 1970, the number of practising QCs increased from 208 to 262. Wikipedia states that this number continued to grow, reaching 404 in 1978 and 601 in 1989.

From 1991 to 2000, the number of practising QCs steadily rose from 736 to 1072. In 1995, 71 QCs were appointed.

In 2006, 175 QCs were appointed out of 443 applicants. 33 of these were women, 10 were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and 4 were solicitors.

Between 1995 and 2023, data shows fluctuation in appointments, ranging from 60 in 1998 to 175 in 2006.

In 2021, 101 KCs (previously QCs) were appointed, including five solicitors.

In 2023 and 2022, 95 KCs were appointed in each year.

In 2024, 95 new KCs were appointed.

In 2025, 105 KCs were appointed, representing the biggest cohort in four years.

Efforts are ongoing to increase diversity among KC appointees, with the Bar Council actively encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and tracking statistics on women, ethnic minority lawyers, and those with disabilities.“

[Google AI/Wikipedia]

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

Thousands of persons are now carrying the rank “KC”. Degradation, as with titles such as “lord”, “sir” etc…

“Coalition of the Clowns”.

Anyone deliberately starting large-scale wildfires must be dealt with severely.

“French“? Even Goodwin is, apparently, still infected by politically-correct nonsense-language.

(and, no, I don’t care whether the untermensch may possess a piece of paper saying that he is “French”…).

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

“Raise the banners!”…

More Israeli war crimes.

[“Every single Jewish doctor who followed me for at least 6 years, often DMing me for a chat, has either unfollowed or blocked me recently for calling Gaza what it is -an atrocity. Not one of them has ever mentioned starving children in their tweets yet we’ve heard plenty about the hostages. I’m sorry but you shouldn’t be in medicine – they all were (rightly) devastated by the anti-semitism of colleagues after 7/10 yet have shown no empathy whatsoever for innocent Palestinian kids dying of starvation and disease. I’ve kept a very balanced view, sympathy for all sides, always fighting anti-semitism hard but Israel has gone way too far and if you’re standing by that, you’ve lost your way, precious few Israelis are. Israel & Netanyahu are fuelling anti-semitism not girls with leukaemia. If you cannot take a balanced view I don’t want your follow anyway. And tragically the actions of Israel have made it highly unlikely any more hostages will be got out alive.“]

Looks like someone is belatedly and reluctantly coming to certain conclusions about “them”…

Of course, Washington D.C. is largely non-white anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Demographics. Not entirely, though. European-origined people are about 38% of the population, and many more reside in the suburbs, in the states of Maryland and Virginia; places such as McLean.

I have to admit that some of that was new to me.

Yes, and not because Farage or Reform are anything much, but simply because the main System parties are hated now, held in utter contempt, and rightly so.

Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals in the UK, and non-Jews who are pro-Israel (e.g. Starmer-stein and his misgovernment) are supporting Israeli Jews and the Israeli state in what is happening, and has been happening, in Gaza and the West Bank. They are complicit; therefore they are guilty.

“An adviser used by Nigel Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.

Jack Anderton, who ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also said the UK should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

“Alternative history is interesting; if Britain had not fought in WW1 and WW2, it would not have had to rely on America for economic support, and it would have had the independence to act accordingly. Britain could have developed India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In the coming meritocracy, perhaps Britain could regain some of these nations.”

The same post also argues against providing support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion: “We are sending billions of pounds (that we cannot afford) to prop up a country that we have no allegiance to. Russia is not our enemy, they have not attacked Britain.“

There really is something disgusting about all the System “shills”, such as Jukes, ganging up on Lucy Connolly, an ordinary provincial woman without wealth or power, overwhelmed by the fake “counter-terror” juggernaut running her down and crushing her.

Yes, she probably did squirm and try to escape her unmerited fate by inventing this or that story, but she pleaded guilty (I think mistakenly) and, instead of issuing her with a conditional discharge and allowing her to return home (no doubt grateful and chastened) to her unwell husband and two little daughters, the legal system or “justice” system (?) imprisoned her for not far short of 3 years (even if it now seems that she may soon be released after having served just over 1 year).

Erudite, narrowly but expensively educated appeal judges have pronounced upon her, dissected her legally, and put System control above individual justice.

Lucy Connolly can, in my view, certainly be regarded as a victim of the emergent UK police state and what the Chinese used to call “running dogs” of the same. There is something of bullying and concerted victimization about the way this woman has been treated.

It is easy to be wise after the event(s). Lucy Connolly should, of course, have refused to be interviewed by police, or given a “no comment” interview. I do not know whether she had a solicitor from the beginning.

I can see (based on what I think were the facts) that she was not well-advised. In the event, she was not (I believe) even given bail pending trial; if so, a ridiculous, very harsh, totally unnecessary, and totally political or politically-aware decision.

It is clear that Starmer-stein’s Cabinet were all panicking a year ago. They could see the possibility of their beloved vision of a multikulti “non-racist”, non-white England or Britain literally going up in smoke, and in flames. Hence the Draconian penalties visited upon some unfortunate and (as the “liberal” Observer/Guardian etc types no doubt saw with enjoyment) plebeian protesters and tweeters.

Well, the protests were, temporarily, stopped, but the migration invasion has continued, and at a pace even greater than in 2024.

What has gone up in flames, along with the multikulti “refugees welcome” fantasies of the likes of Jukes, Jonathan Portes, Zoe Gardner etc, is the popularity of the Starmer-stein government of incompetent “Friends of Israel”. Only about 20% of potential voters at the next general election are presently intending to vote Labour, and I doubt whether that will increase by very much.

The above clowns typify the System view of the Ukraine conflict. EU bureaucrat/politico Verhofstadt wants EU taxpayers to fund Zelensky’s war and shambolic dictatorship endlessly, while that Greek wants EU states to take an active part in the war, sending troops to fight there.

Some people in Western Europe just have a death wish.

Incidentally, as far as British troops are concerned, how long does would-be statesman and pathetic incompetent, Starmer, imagine that our soldiers would last, even under the “peacekeepers” label? Not long if and when any ceasefire ends. The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-3,000 soldiers (pressganged civilians kidnapped off the streets) daily (killed, badly wounded, or captured). Britain’s whole —front-line and battle-ready— Army seems to number about 15,000. If that. About 2-6 weeks’ supply, then…

Starmer is a complete idiot to want to get further involved in Ukraine, a fake state, completely corrupt, and with which the UK has effectively no commonality of history or interest.

Stray thought

It made me laugh to read that the ludicrous one-time, would-be, Scottish “national leader”, Nicola Sturgeon, is thinking of relocating to, of all places, London, the centre of the (SNP fantasy) “Sassenach” oppressors! Reminded me of when stupid Honecker eventually fled from the collapsed DDR to, of all places, hated post-“fascist” Chile, and was granted asylum there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Honecker.

[“More victims of Israel’s war crimes. This child was wounded in an air strike on a tent. No parents with her, meaning her family was killed. THE KILLING OR MAIMING OF BABIES IS NOT A COLLATERAL DAMAGE. IT IS AN ISRAELI POLICY. Listen to what former head of the military intelligence directorate said in a recording leaked just today. He said that israel should kill 50 Palestinians for each israeli killed on 10/7, even if these Palestinians were kids. Listen to what israeli ministers and knesset members say. Some want to eliminate Palestinian babies. Listen to religious leaders too: Rabbi Eliyahu Mali “Today he is a baby, tomorrow he is a fighter … whoever comes to kill you … also includes the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce the future generation (women of Gaza)” And the whole fu**ing world is not stopping them.“]

https://twitter.com/i/status/1956502994268106821

The UK (government and people) should be cracking down at least on Israel’s diplomatic representation in this country and, most importantly, on the Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals which are facilitating Israeli war crimes; organizations such as the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and its unpleasant spokespersons such as “Slitherman”.

Child abuse seems to be prevalent in Israel, which really is a very sick society.

Is that so surprising? There has been a gradual takeover of the USA (especially political life, publishing, TV/radio, film industry legal system) by “them”; over a century or more, but especially since the 1970s.

It is at its most obvious, arguably, in respect of American politicians, the bought-and-paid-for Ted Cruz or Huckabee type.

[“In the first photo, we see a leader capable of achieving victories both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table — a leader who defends national interests and sets the agenda, rather than following imposed scenarios. In the second — a politician who endlessly balances on the threshold of others’ offices, begging for support, but ultimately sacrificing his people to the interests of the USA and NATO. Alas, history has not become a source of political wisdom for him.“]

Israel is doomed.

Mostly non-whites, and/or public sector office workers, NHS staff (maybe), CPS box-tickers, and the like..

All the same, he has 7,000 nuclear weapons, and three million men under arms. Has Montgomerie never heard of Napoleon?

If Montgomerie thinks that Putin looks comical or inadequate, what must he have thought of Britain’s pygmy “national leaders”? Starmer-stein, somewhere between an irrelevance and a national embarrassment; the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, who stands about 5 ft nothing; Liz Truss, thick as two short planks, quite uneducated, and who only became an MP in the first place on her back; Boris-idiot, the part-Jew chancer and self-promoter, who always pretended to some kind of great classical erudition but whose real knowledge of anything and everything is very very shallow; Theresa May, another partly-Jewish one, formerly a back-room nobody in the direct-debit and cheque-clearing organization, BACS; David Cameron-Levita, partly-Jewish, again, and whose Libyan misadventure has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe. All of those…

Incidentally, all of those noted are or were in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

That tweeter/commentator, Stadlen, a half-Jew, takes every opportunity to attack those fighting against the migration-invasion of this country.

As to the “jury’s verdict” in the Ricky Jones case, it was plainly perverse, plainly political or socio-political and, as I noted yesterday on the blog, probably the result of a largely or entirely non-white jury, and/or one containing jurors motivated by socio-political bias.

In fact, once society becomes fragmented, the jury system no longer works properly, at least in “political” cases. That is what happened in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Juries were biased either towards or against defendants, bias based on perceived community allegiances, or were subject to intimidation. Thus it became necessary to institute “Diplock courts”, in which a judge sat without a jury:

“The courts were established in response to a report submitted to the UK Parliament in December 1972 by Lord Diplock,[6] which addressed the issue of dealing with physical force Irish republicanism through means other than internment (which had been implemented in August 1971). In his report, Diplock cited two primary reasons for his recommendation that jury trials should be suspended: that jurors had been threatened, “of which we have had ample evidence”.[7]; the danger of perverse acquittals...”

[Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplock_court].

A friend of mine, a barrister, once saw a Diplock court in action in Belfast, sometime in the 1980s (invited to see it by a barrister he knew from that region). He told me it was strange to enter a typical old-style British courtroom, all wooden panelling, bewigged judge and Counsel etc, but no jury. As well as the usual court staff, usher etc, a couple of policemen standing guard, and armed with submachineguns.

In the case before that court, a man stood accused of being a member of one of the paramilitary organizations (I forget which one). My friend recounting this to me said that the impression was that of a kangaroo court, but in fact the judge, on consideration of all the evidence, acquitted the defendant at the end.

A number of (real) British people have been imprisoned for race/politics offences in recent years, after juries convicted them; Jez Turner, and Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), to name but two. Time for Brits on juries to start acquitting those standing up for European race, culture and civilization.

Historical note

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/25387121.horrific-murder-case-spanish-flu-bournemouth/

“It was a unique illness that globally killed millions. Commonly known as Spanish flu, it so overwhelmed Mary Wiseman that in delirium, she not only cut her own throat but also stabbed her baby daughter.“

[Bournemouth Echo]

Well worth reading.

Incidentally, as that report makes plain, the “Spanish Flu” (which in fact seems to have originated in the USA, specifically in Kansas) is variously estimated to have killed anywhere from 17 to 50 million people worldwide (including 200,000 in the UK), which certainly puts the “Covid” “panicdemic” in perspective.

While 200,000+ are supposed to have died “with Covid” in the UK over the five years 2020-2025 (mostly in 2020-2022), almost all of those deaths were in fact from other causes and/or from normal winter influenza (reclassified, in effect, as “Covid” deaths).

Did the authorities of 1918-1919 “lock down” the country, or the world? No. Life continued.

I happened to notice that a blog post from several years ago had a few hits this morning. I took a look and saw the following paragraphs written by me. Still correct, I think…

“Definitions: “British expat“— someone who lives and works temporarily in another country/society, or retires there with a pension and/or capital, or goes to live in another closely-connected white society such as Australia or New Zealand. Will have arrived in that country lawfully, and is almost invariably an asset to the host country.

“Migrant“, aka “migrant-invader“— today usually a black or brown person, who may or may not have arrived lawfully in the UK (or other white European-race country), who will almost invariably have no capital or income, and will almost certainly be a drain on the public funds of the UK or other unwillingly-hosting country. The invader will either be unwilling to work (except for extra and untaxed cash while also claiming State welfare benefits), or be unable to work at anything beyond the lowest grade of employment by reason of having few if any marketable skills, no usable qualifications, and often little or no English language proficiency. A millstone round the neck of the UK (etc).

Anyone who equates “Brit expat” with black/brown migrant-invader is not only very mistaken, but a complete idiot (and/or malicious).”

Thought for the day

The so-called “Glorious 12th”, start of the grouse season. A “sport” of which I disapprove, so good luck to all grouse today.

There are those who claim that shooting helps conservation of a number of species [see, e.g. https://www.sykeshousefarm.co.uk/news_stories/why-grouse-is-becoming-more-exclusive-than-ever/] but I feel that there are other ways to do that. In the end, I just feel that to take pleasure in shooting a creature, a warm-blooded one at that, is morally wrong.

In the years 2002-2008, when I was a barrister based in Exeter and (2002-2006) living on the Cornwall/Devon border, prime shooting territory, several of my colleagues in chambers shot. I recall one incident when one member of chambers shot a pheasant which then fell on the head of either his wife or someone else’s wife (I think the latter), the lady in question being knocked out as a consequence.

I cannot now recall whether the shooter was or was not the person who later had an affair with the lady in question, who later left the one barrister for the other (causing a big kefuffle in chambers, as might be imagined; however, this being England and not Texas or the Caucasus, no-one opened fire on anyone else, and no blood was spilt).

Awkward, and I quite liked all three members of chambers involved (one involved simply as another gun on the fateful day; the lady involved was not a barrister, though I think that I did meet her once).

In fact, as someone who does not interfere with other people if it can be avoided, and because in those years I spent half my time at my then home in Finistere, or elsewhere, I was apparently the only member of Chambers for some time unaware of the personal upset that had occurred (though I had heard about the earlier, pheasant-caused, injury).

For once, I agree almost entirely with everything Andrew Neil says there.

Also, most of the states of Eastern Europe were then not in the EU or the Schengen Zone.

Ukraine news

“In what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance units punched through exposed defences in eastern Ukraine, slipping as far as six miles behind the front line in just 48 hours, according to battlefield reports.

Kyiv has diverted special forces units to confront the insurgents on the ground in an attempt to prevent any more of Ukraine falling under Russia’s control before the summit in Alaska.

The location, near Dobropillya in Donetsk, is strategically significant. If Moscow’s forces are able to establish a foothold, the breach could allow Russia to cut off the city of Kramatorsk, one of the most vital strongholds in the Donbas still under Kyiv’s control.

If the city falls, it would give Putin almost full control over the Donbas and strengthen his negotiating power when bargaining over Ukraine’s fate with the Trump administration.“
