Talking point

Talking point

Several points. First, look at the baseline (where we are now)! It shows the swamping of this country by (unsaid there) blacks, browns, and Chinese. It shows the preconditions for the degeneration and collapse of our present society, and it shows a likely slide to some kind of civil/social/racial/cultural war as well.

Secondly, that slide to open conflict would be turbocharged should the Green (pseudo-Green) loonies take over the asylum by forming a government.

Thirdly, even Reform would not “remigrate” or otherwise remove those millions, indeed tens of millions, already here on various bases. The “net” migration, though below that of other parties, would still be around 250,000 (meaning maybe 300,000 blacks and browns etc coming in, and 50,000 Brits fleeing to Australia and elsewhere.

Everything in this country is already sliding to perdition; imagine what it will be like in 2029, 2034, 2039…

Nick Griffin

Former British National Party (BNP) leader Nick Griffin has denied stirring up racial hatred by posting a cartoon on social media.

The 67-year-old, who led the BNP from 1999 to 2014, is facing a private prosecution brought by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

At Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, Griffin entered not guilty pleas to two charges – displaying material likely to stir up racial hatred and publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred.

Griffin, of Welshpool, Powys, is accused of posting on X a cartoon of a giant spider with a Star of David on its head.

It is said the post, on 6 December 2021, was accompanied with a comment.

The post was “abusive or insulting”, it is said, and Griffin is accused of “intending to stir up racial hatred“.

Mr Justice Swift adjourned the case and set a trial date of 11 May next year.”

[BBC]

“...it is said“, meaning “it is alleged” by the malicious Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, effectively a volunteer arm (though it does pay its main goblins) of the Israeli Embassy in London.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c05dd39z363o

Nothing in that BBC report about whether Griffin made application to have the charges dismissed. It may be —I do not know— that, if there was an application, the judge directed that that fact not be reported in case the details affected any future trial jury (though the case has been set down for 11 May 2027, 13 months from now).

At any rate, if the application to dismiss or to stay was made, it seems that it must have been itself dismissed, or at least not determined yesterday. I do not know.

No information as to for how many days the judge set down the trial. Probably more than one day. Maybe 2-3 days.

This is “lawfare”, abuse of the English legal system by malicious Jew-Zionist fanatics. Private prosecutions should in any case be restricted to private individuals or recognized genuine charities such as the RSPCA (i.e. not fake ones such as the “CAA”).

Imagine what is happening here: a whole Crown Court case, involving full jury trial, all about an allegation that someone posted, years ago at that, a cartoon (and not even one he himself created); and that he then made a comment online about it. Utterly ludicrous.

Some of my own experiences with Jew-Zionist fanatics, mostly the “CAA” (that evil pack have been persecuting me for well over a decade now):

How time flies! It is now already over two years since I was tried, convicted, and sentenced as a result of the suborning of the police (Hampshire Constabulary) and the CPS (CPS Wessex) by the “CAA” goblins (political pressure etc), and it is two and a half years since the trial itself, at which trial I defended myself, nearly got off at “half-time” (at the close of the prosecution case) on legal and evidential grounds, but eventually was convicted and sentenced to a “community order” (i.e. probation) for a few months.

All the same, the blog continued to be published throughout the “investigation” and trial process (even on the days of trial), and has continued to be published on a near-daily basis ever since.

Incidentally, all the blog posts which formed the basis of the prosecution case against me are still online, as are the (actually rather mild) comments and cartoons which however the district judge determined were, overall at least, “grossly offensive” by reference to the ridiculous “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (which bad law was set to be repealed until the Jewish lobby “nobbled” enough MPs and peers to keep it on the statute book).

I am unable to link here to those particular blog posts, cartoons, and comments (because to do so might be to be said to have repeated my supposed “offence”), but they all remain online and can be seen by the whole world.

Pity. One of the most interesting series aired on British television . The sort of thoughtful “social commentary” TV rarely now seen.

In fact, it has become social commentary in itself, looking at the fact that one “Asif Kapadia” will be presenting or voicing the last one. Sign of the times?

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

Born in 1956, I was the same age as those shown in the films and, obviously, remain the same age as the surviving subjects, so for me the series had added interest.

[“In the least surprising news of the day the Dundee knife girl who went viral a while back has given her testimony in court. She was being sexually harassed and assaulted by a gypsy brother and sister. Not shocking, what was shocking were the huge amount of people who tried to gaslight everyone into thinking the little girl was the villain.“]

The USA has developed, over thirty-five years, into a rogue state.

It is only logical. Gypsies, blacks, even Pakistani Muslims, while they can do considerable damage if they riot or rebel, do not have the numbers to threaten, potentially, the State itself. White British people are still about 80% of the population of these islands. If the real British people were to rise up, the State could fall. The response of the System is, therefore, to stamp hard on any real British protest, or even on any potentially “inflammatory” social media postings.

People are voting with their feet, not only in respect of books and publishing, but also away from msm radio, TV, newspapers; increasingly, they go to alternative media for alternative truth.

The same applies to political parties. In the 1950s, about 99% of voters were voting LibLabCon, and 90% of those voted Lab or Con. In 2024, the figure for LibLabCon was below 70%, and Lab and Con together were voted for by only 57.4%.

Were the voting system proportional, those figures would be radically lower.

From recent opinion polling, it seems that only about 45%-50% are presently intending to vote LibLabCon, and only about 35% are likely to vote for Lab or Con.

The guilty must be put up against a wall and eliminated. More importantly, we must become an advanced full-European society, whatever that takes. Whatever that takes.

In ordinary language, what is happening in the UK is treason. Politicians. “Journalists” (scribblers). Bien-pensant literati, chatterati, Twitterati. TV and radio talking heads.

We are watching the degradation and eventual death of this country in real time, and most of the people seem to be more interested in whether “our blacks beat your blacks” at football or other sports in various competitions, or in “celebrities” one has never heard of, on so-called “reality” TV shows (which are entirely contrived and unreal); or other trivia.

Unexpected good news.

I have visited Turkey or North Cyprus a few times. On my last visit, quite long ago (2001), I spent 3 months in the country, having driven from the UK (a far more difficult and hazardous trip than it would now be).

I recall going, out of mere curiosity, into a shop in Fethiye that sold shooting equipment. They were very welcoming, despite my telling them that I was only there out of curiosity, and showed me a couple of items, including a short-barrelled and very heavy shotgun, made either on the premises or elsewhere nearby. A crude but no doubt reliable weapon. Perhaps similar to what they call a lupara in Sicily, though with not quite so short a barrel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupara].

All the same, I am sure that the barrel-length of that Turkish weapon would not be lawful in the UK even with a shotgun certificate (in the UK, would have to have 24 inch barrel minimum, and 40 inch overall length) i.e. without a firearms certificate or special permission (e.g. military use).

I think that that Turkish weapon’s barrel would have been no longer than 18 inches, if that, and the overall length maybe 24-30 inches.

[“Meanwhile in Australia.

The Geelong Oil Refinery in Victoria is now on fire.

This is one of the country’s biggest facilities, supplying over 120,000 barrels of oil every single day.

Australia is already running dangerously low on fuel – and now this.

Too many vital energy plants and food production sites have mysteriously gone up in flames recently.

These cannot all be coincidences.”]

Exactly what I have been thinking recently.

Ha ha…

Starmer-stein is moving from being a mere clown to becoming a total joke.

Forget the non-existent “Russian connection”, and concentrate on the real one, the Israeli connection.

Davis also should know that the FSB is a security organization, not primarily a foreign intelligence agency (the main Russian one being the SVR).

I explored the Israel connection to Epstein (Jew) and Ghislaine Maxwell (half-Jew) years ago, and have continued to update: see

They need street-cleaners in Vienna…(Mandelson has toothbrush, and will travel…).

I still think that Starmer-stein will cling on until people start to stamp on his fingers; he will not let go of his own volition.

The ships referred to are naval minesweepers.

I do not doubt that they confessed (whether guilty or not).

Triggers a few memories.

When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I lived on Prospekt Lenina, one of the main boulevards. One day, I heard that an American who apparently lived across the (very wide) boulevard from me had been found tortured to death in an armchair in his own apartment.

At the time, I was sole expat lawyer for a British firm in Kazakhstan. The other office staff, however, about 5 people, were under a Kazakh ex-policeman turned fake lawyer (I am sure that he had either bought or forged his qualifications).

This individual in my office had links to the KNB, the renamed Kazakhstan KGB, and told me that the murdered American had been a gay who had picked up two men at a casino. They had murdered him, thinking that he had cash. They had also stolen items from the apartment.

What interested me most about the story, however, was the assertion that, because the KNB had apparently suspected the American (a supposed journalist, working for an obscure Texas-based journal, of which no-one had ever heard) of being a CIA operative, and so had bugged that man’s apartment (both audio and video). There was therefore both audio and video evidence of the torture and murder, though (sadly for the victim) not seen until the next day. Had the KNB been watching in real time, they would have been able to save the victim.

The murderers were, it seems, arrested the next day, and (of course) confessed. I imagine that they were shown the evidence, but would very likely have confessed even had there been no evidence at all. The Kazakh police are rather rough.

There were few foreigners resident in Almaty at that time. I was told that there were about 50 Brits, and quite a few more Americans (in a city of, even then, nearly 2M inhabitants). I doubt, though, whether I myself was suspected of being more than a boring/innocent expat lawyer, but who knows?

Incidentally, I went for a talk at the British Embassy there, not long afterwards, about “personal security”, given by a visiting expert from London. I was often at the Embassy anyway, had met the Ambassador and others several times (and it was walking distance from my home).

There were about 30 British people, businessmen mostly, assembled to hear the words of wisdom.

The “visiting expert” was a bit of an odd bod, a former member of British Army intelligence, and who wore a brown leather coat with a matching leather hat. He reminded me slightly of von Smallhausen in Allo Allo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%27Allo_%27Allo!_characters#Herr_Engelbert_von_Smallhausen.

“Von Smallhausen” mentioned the murder of the American, cast doubt on the idea that he had been a journalist, and also mentioned the not dissimilar case of a Swiss banker, also murdered in the city not long before.

The “visiting expert” also said that most expats he had met on his brief visit had assured him that Almaty was safe for foreigners, yet he himself had visited a nightclub in the centre of the city a day or two previously and, on exiting the club, had tripped over a dead body.

I have to say that I never had serious trouble while I lived in Kazakhstan (1 year), and what minor trouble I did have was handled one way or another. There again, I usually avoid nightclubs, bars, and casinos in most parts of the world. In fact, unlike most foreigners in Almaty at that time, I not only travelled by car but also on foot and even by local bus, trolleybus, and tram (there was no Metro at the time). My then girlfriend remarked that I had to be the only foreigner in the city with a monthly public transport pass, though I had my own driver to take me to the office and back. I like to wander and explore alone sometimes.

[view of Almaty, Kazakhstan. The boulevard shown is former Prospekt Lenina, now called Dostyk (Kazakh for “Friendship”). I lived on the right-hand side of the avenue, in a kind of Soviet penthouse at the top of the first of the two similar apartment buildings, about halfway up the photo]

Hard-to-believe news

Apparently, Tony Blair has been talking up the possibility of —of all people— Shabana Mahmood taking over from Keir Starmer, and so becoming, by default, Prime Minister! Jesus H. Christ! Has the woman not been over-promoted enough? She has already been appointed as Justice Secretary/Lord Chancellor and, since then, Home Secretary, despite having not practised at the Bar (beyond her one-year pupillage); she was a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors for about 2 years after that.

Actually, I hope she does take over. That would sink the Labour Party completely.

Assuming that the reports are correct (they seem to be), and that the longstanding government of the Assad family in Syria has fallen, there now stands only Iran against the Jewish state of Israel.

The Assad family has controlled Syria since 1970, 54 years, so this marks a great change in the geopolitics of the Middle East.

What will never be admitted by the System parties is that we have been, for decades, in a deliberately-managed slow decline, which is now become a faster decline; in fact a slide. It is very much connected with mass immigration (the migration-invasion), and with the agenda of making the UK a multikulti, multiracial, and fairly poor country, with most of the economic benefit of its economy going to about 5%, if not 1%, of the population. That 1%, or even 5%, is mainly, though not exclusively, non-European. It includes many of “the usual suspects” (((them))).

“The Ilford station victim has been named and pictured for the first time as his family pays tribute to him. Sixty-one-year-old Jorge Ortega was taken to hospital in a critical condition after he was seriously assaulted at Ilford railway station around 8.49pm on Wednesday, December 4. Jorge sadly died in hospital two days later on Friday, December 6.

Jorge’s family paid tribute to him yesterday (December 7) in a statement released by his son, saying: “Our dad was the most loving person, the kindest soul you could have the pleasure of meeting. Everyone who has met our dad or who has ever worked with him over the years will tell you this.

“He had a brilliant mind, enjoyed cooking, loved drawing, and was highly skilled in art. He was an amazing family man and would always put other people first. He loved his grandchildren, and in turn, they adored our dad. He was totally devoted to our mum and loved her beyond what words can describe.

British Transport Police officers were called to Ilford Station following reports of a serious assault on Wednesday. Paramedics and members of the Air Ambulance attended, and Jorge was rushed to hospital with serious head injuries.

28-year-old Ayodele Jamgbadi of Kingston Road in Ilford was arrested the next day and has been charged. He will appear at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

Warsaw has changed a very great deal since I last saw it in the winter of 1989. 35 years ago. It hardly seems possible.

“Our wonderful police”

This of course goes far beyond “mere” theft of bicycles.

A couple of years ago, my Australian niece, in her early twenties and —at the time— living for a couple of years in London, decided to start cycling from her London flat (West Kensington) to her office (West End). A brave and perhaps unwise decision. All went well until, one fine summer day, a car hit her not very far from her home, at a busy intersection. A place where there are shops, cafes and, therefore, cctv. She was knocked off her bike, and left in the road. The driver sped off. Thankfully, she had no serious injuries; bruises and cuts, mainly.

My niece did report the incident (it may be that passers-by did too, at the time). The police did nothing, absolutely nothing, despite the fact that this was a hit and run vehicle crime which could well have been more serious, even a fatality. They did not even collect cctv, despite the time of the “accident” (crime) being known to within a few minutes. Useless.

Another crime: I know that I have blogged about this previously, but my regular readers will please grant me this indulgence.

A couple of years ago, in early 2023, a wheel was stolen from my car. Local people were able to provide me with some good leads as to the likely thief or his connections. I passed that information on to the police online and via telephone (they did not turn up at all in person, despite likely DNA evidence or fingerprints left on a jack). Nothing happened. No action, no investigation. Useless people.

Imagine my surprise, then (and as I later discovered), that the uniformed constable (from Hampshire Constabulary) who was in everyday charge of the relevant “neighbourhood crime team”, turned out to be the very same policeman who, together with a female colleague, had turned up, at my now very humble home, and on my birthday, in 2021, some 18 months previously, having been asked to do so by Gloucestershire Police at the behest of one Stephen Silverman, the self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the fanatical pro-Israel Jewish pressure-group called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

Silverman’s malicious, and completely false, complaint to the police against me (on the ground of “racial harassment”) is detailed here:

Well, nothing came of that attempted perversion of the course of justice by Silverman, but he has never been charged (((why?))). Au contraire— the tiny but well-funded “CAA” cabal simply persuaded (via direct political pressure and interference) the Wessex Crown —or Clown— Prosecution Service (Wessex CPS) to prosecute me on a completely different legal basis, and in respect of (small parts of) 5 blog posts, out of the, at the time, well over 1,500 blog posts published from late 2016 to early 2023.

My free speech trial in late 2023, my sentencing hearing in March 2024, and the aftermath of the trial and sentencing are detailed here:

The same policeman already noted above in today’s blog and in those other days’ blogs, turned up at every hearing of my “case”— first appearance in June or July 2023, a later “case management” appearance when the trial was deferred, the one-day trial, the sentencing hearing (and another hearing prior to sentence when the “Clown” Prosecutor made a doomed attempt to give my “case” a “hate crime” uplift). Four or maybe even five hearings; every time, that policeman was there, sitting in the waiting area and at the back of the court (he did give evidence, briefly, at the trial, and was equally-briefly cross-examined by me).

So that policeman spent 5 days on attending court, related to my quite pointless trial, as well as (with other “guardians of law and order”) a number of days cobbling together the huge amount of material required by the Clown Prosecution Service. Also, parts of other days in 2021, wasted on Silverman’s completely false and malicious allegation that he was “racially harassed” by me (I did not know his address, or his telephone number or email, and had never once spoken to him, or even seen him, still less confronted him).

Days which that policeman and his colleagues might have used more productively, dealing with real crime and/or investigating Silverman’s 2021 attempt to pervert the course of justice.

Incidentally, Silverman, despite now living in Gloucestershire (prior to that, in Essex), made the fairly long journey to Southampton Magistrates’ Court both for my trial and for the sentencing hearing, though he slunk out on the latter occasion once he realized that the sentence (a 9-month “community order” and £734 costs etc) was not going to be as severe as he and his horrible little “CAA” cabal had hoped.

I should add that, on one of the preliminary days in court, in summer 2023, a different “CAA” creature turned up to snoop, a kind of bearded and very long-haired near-dwarf, like something out of Lord of the Rings.

Well, there it is. The police politicized, suborned (along with the Clown Prosecution Service) and apparently incapable of doing their proper job, while behaving as a so-far relatively velvet-glove and poundshop Stasi.

The Home Office has been concealing that kind of data for not only years but for decades. I blogged, several years ago, about the experience I had when a superannuated “first six” [months] Bar pupil (trainee) in early 1992, and when my “pupilmaster” (supervisor, mentor, lager-buyer…) had a trial involving Arab Gypsies originally from North Africa, of whom the Home Office were aware, and who (a clan of about 5,000 in and by London) lived (and no doubt still live) from thieving, begging, and by accessing the social security system.

That other person, talking to Goodwin, talks about Starmer’s “loveless majority“. It may have a Commons majority, by reason of the ludicrously unfair and illogical voting system in the UK, but it has and had no popular vote majority, and its plurality of votes, in percentage terms, is one of the lowest ever— 33.7%, only just a third of those who voted; 4 out of every 12. Over 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote. Only 4 in every 20 people eligible to vote voted for Labour and Starmer.

Both main System parties are hanging on only because of a voting system that is basically binary. Tweedledum/Tweedledee. Despite that, they are both going down. Reform UK may be a poor alternative, but is a straw at which many will clutch between now and 2029.

The madness continues

BBC Radio 4 News report on a budget/holiday airline flight where —horrors!— passengers were not wearing facemasks. It was claimed that one couple have already (since yesterday? Perhaps I misheard) both “developed Covid-like symptoms“. Well, I don’t believe the woman talking about having been infected; maybe she and her husband are planning a nice little compensation claim against the airline.

Even leaving all that aside, “mild Covid-like symptoms?” So what do they want? A medal? What does it matter if a few people develop mild symptoms? Yet here we are, with the BBC going mad because one couple out of hundreds of passengers on a plane are showing mild symptoms of “the virus” (which may or may not be “the virus” and could have been picked up anywhere). This has become hysteria on the grand scale.

Sometime around 2006-2007 I returned to Ilford, where there was a small County Court which was, a few years later, one of the hundreds of County and Magistrates’ courts closed by reason of the spending cuts of the 2010-2015 David Cameron-Levita government: https://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/politics/ilford-county-court-to-close-1-753547;

[Ilford County Court, permanently closed 2011-2012]

On my third visit to Ilford (on the same matter as I visited the second time), again I appeared at the small, dark and moribund-looking County Court (one good thing was that, being situate in a side street out of the central area of Ilford, one could park almost opposite the Court, by a small park or cemetery).

I had stayed overnight at a strange “hotel” of sorts, which was actually in a multistorey car park in the central area, and was on the top floor of the same. I may have been lucky, in that a fellow-member of my chambers, a medico-legal expert called Dr. Thomas (an ex-NHS consultant), parked there a few weeks later, also because he was due to appear at Ilford County Court; his car was broken into, his wig, gown and legal books etc all stolen.

I had the opportunity, if such is the bon mot, to explore the area of central Ilford around the hotel, as I searched for a takeaway (I think that I found a Chinese in the end). My impressions of Ilford (and this was about 14 years ago): something like a cross between a downbeat part of New York City, and maybe Calcutta (though I have never been to the latter).

Seems that Ilford is almost a microcosmic example of the rest of urban Britain: migration invasion, scarcely a white face, litter everywhere, and not so long after I was there, closure of shops and even the local County Court.

More Coronavirus madness

One of the “victims” mentioned in the report at top of this blog post was on Sky News, saying how terrible it was that no-one was wearing a facemask or “social distancing” on the plane! How do you “social distance” on a crowded plane? I think that the woman was a totally brainwashed facemask zealot. She and her husband had themselves decided to “self-isolate” even before being “ordered” to do so! So yes, 16 people out of nearly 200 on that plane have “tested positive”. So what? None are or are likely to show any, or any serious, symptoms.

There is a massive scam/fraud being tried on by the System, via the Government and msm. Fear propaganda.

As the UK becomes ever-more obviously a “control state”, with an “elected” dictatorship of a government and a compliant or similar “Opposition”, anything is justifiable if it stands up for the reasonable freedom and decent future of the British people.

Hopefully, a GoFundMe appeal will be launched to pay his fine. The bigger question is how to destroy the cabals that are behind the conspiracy to make the population compliant and intimidated.

Hitchens is right. Look at the proclamations from government, the documents from the “advisers” and sinister backroom types that have leaked, from Common Purpose drones such as Cressida Dick (who actually suggested that non-masked persons should be “shamed”, meaning bullied, in public. What about, inter alia, “exempt” persons? Do they have to explain themselves to aggressive mask zealots and busybodies, begging their permission or leave?).

Look at that “study” from Brazil. Even on its face, it is plainly nonsense. Its methods and bases are obviously biased. A priori flaws etc.

The “study” also seems to conflate mask-wearing, washing hands, and “social distancing”.

I have blogged for months in favour of washing hands frequently, which is almost certainly the only really important way of protecting oneself and those in one’s own social circle.

“Social distancing”, if done reasonably (eg not attending crowded nightclubs, pubs etc) is also sensible. It is for individuals to protect themselves that way, mostly by avoiding crowded and hot places. The whole “keeping 6 feet away from everyone” is not necessary; peripheral.

As for facemasks, they are useless and may be counter-productive. For the State to mandate the wearing of muzzles is quite wrong; dictatorial.

I have already seen many tweets saying (inaccurately, and presumably based on the fact that the “study” has been published in some obscure psychology magazine) that the “study” has been “peer-reviewed” and so (it is implied) credible. The problem with that is that when a “study” is created by people with a certain view, and then “reviewed” favourably —and so published— by people with similar views, objectivity goes out of the window, and the “study” is not worth the paper on which it was written.

To use the reductio ad absurdam, a “study” created by idiots and “peer-reviewed” by idiots is in reality not credible.

We are getting perilously close to equating dissidence with insanity, as in the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s, as exemplified by the notorious Serbsky Institute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbsky_Center

Brenton Tarrant

I would not wish to kick someone who is well and truly down, but it is worth considering what Tarrant might have done had he not carried out his notorious massacre. He might, for example, have engaged in political educative work, trying to awaken New Zealand to the menace of mass immigration.

More interestingly, Tarrant might also, for example, have planned and carried out the establishment of a mini-ethnostate in New Zealand, perhaps in the South Island, which has only about a million inhabitants (compared to 4 million on the North Island). The South Island has only one medium-size city (Christchurch; 377,000 inhabitants) and only one other of any size (Dunedin; 105,000). About half of the population live in those two cities.

New Zealand has about 5 million inhabitants in an area about 20% larger than the whole of the UK, which has (disastrously) nearly 70 million people now.

The South Island of New Zealand, much larger than the North, is 58,000 square miles (England alone is 50,000) and, as noted, has a million inhabitants, compared to about 56 million in England alone. The population density is only about a 60th of that of England.

Indeed, the third-largest island of New Zealand, Stewart Island, has only about 400 people in 650 sq. miles, i.e. an area of about 20×30 miles.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Island. It would be easy to simply take over such an island by moving a few hundred supporters there. Tarrant was maybe too much of a “lone wolf” to think like that.

Tarrant’s massacre has resulted in sympathy for the Muslim immigrants to New Zealand. At least, that is the official line.

There might have been another and better way.

That is in North America.

As far as that tweet is concerned, I agree with Batten 100%. Hitchens is too ready to say “it’s all incompetence by the government and its advisers”. Yes, true enough but too limited. What about those behind the Government, embedded in the Deep State and msm?

Once again, Hitchens is partly-right. However, would you call the Jew Shapps, the part-Jew “Boris”-idiot, the Indian Rishi Sunak, the Indian Priti Patel, Matt Hancock, Gavin Williamson, or the rest, “sons [or daughters] of gentlemen”?! I suggest that Hitchens overvalues the result of a secondary education at Eton or Winchester…

Valete (for today)

Tomorrow, I shall be 64. Let us hope that the year ahead will be productive.

First, Steal A Chicken

This post is one in the line of reminiscences of my life at the English Bar. More exactly, it is another story of my days of pupillage (“on the job training”) as a newly-minted barrister in 1992-93, still under the control of a “pupilmaster” (though, as explained in other posts, my “pupilmaster” was in fact the same age as me, a consequence of my “rolling stone” or “wander-bird” youth). It tells the story of a fairly minor series of thefts, but at the same time says something about UK and even European society generally.

A timeworn joke says that the first line of an old Hungarian recipe for chicken goulash starts, “First, steal a chicken”…Well, in this story there was no chicken but what there was was an Arab Gypsy woman in East London who was expecting a baby. Well, a baby needs all kinds of things and especially clothing, so the family of that woman– a man, a boy of 14, the pregnant woman, our defendant (an exceptionally beautiful girl aged about 18 who was a cousin of the pregnant woman), and another woman– set out one fine morning to steal the requisites. Their chosen emporium was British Home Stores, Ilford, part of East London.

The aforesaid shopping expedition was initially successful, but came to an abrupt end when the “shoppers” were arrested by police as they were getting into their car, laden with their “acquisitions”. A woman store detective had noticed them and had alerted her colleagues and the police.

It is at this point that the story becomes interesting from the “crime and punishment” point of view. The man arrested was not charged, on the basis that he had not entered the store, not handled the goods and had not admitted knowing anything of the thefts. The 14 year old boy, having admitted acting as a look-out (a pretty poor one, as it turned out), received a police caution. The other women admitted theft in the magistrates’ court and were fined £50 each. So that left our defendant, who was called something like Maroush or Marousha.

Now it transpired that Maroush was also going to be sentenced for being part of a gang which had visited towns in Dorset and Somerset and had stolen quite large amounts from shops by distracting the cashiers while the tills were open (in fact, they could somehow get them open, silently and in seconds, even when the tills were closed). Maroush was a minor player in that game but would be sentenced with several others, they like her having pleaded to those offences, after the conclusion of her shoplifting trial.

Now the point was that theft is an either-way offence and Maroush could have pleaded guilty in the “mags”, in which case she would no doubt have received a £50 fine like the others. Why she had decided to elect Crown Court trial, God knows. We only got her case at the Crown Court stage.

So it was that we all appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court one day. Snaresbrook is a large rambling building near the end of the Central Line in Essex, and which even then had, I believe, 26 courtrooms (Wikipedia says 20, but that was in 1988; trial was in 1992; it’s pretty big, anyway…). One thing that struck me was when pupilmaster and I were provided (by the Crown Counsel) with a copy of a short Home Office report marked “Restricted”, all about Maroush’s clan origins.

It seems that Maroush came out of a clan of Arab Gypsies who lived (no doubt in poverty and on the margins of Arab society) in pre-WW2 Libya. The Second World War dislocated the states and colonies around the Mediterranean. The clan took the opportunity, after the war finished, somehow to get to Italy. They were eventually granted residency, and some, citizenship. The EEC/EC/EU arrived, with its “free movement” provisions. The clan then moved to somewhere where they could live off the host population more easily– the UK. The Home Office report was fairly direct, which perhaps was why it was “Restricted”: one would not want the British people or Press to see the truth…In fact, the report made it clear that few if any of the 5,000 Arab Gypsies of that clan then living in and around London had remunerative work. They all lived from theft, begging and State benefits.

The trial itself should have taken a day, but in fact took three, to the irritation of the judge. Pupilmaster was usually extremely long-winded, almost absurdly so. In fact, because the trial only ended late on the third day, sentence had to be put off to a fourth, because the other “£50 note trick” defs would be sentenced alongside Maroush. In the event, she was –almost inevitably– convicted of the Ilford shoplifting, and was sentenced to, if memory serves, 22 months’ imprisonment, though most of that was for the Dorset/Somerset offences. Still, she would have been better off pleading to the shoplifting, in the mags. She cried in the dock. I felt sad (I was younger and perhaps more sensitive then).

Not sure why that trial has stuck in my mind: the Home Office report? The youth and beauty of the defendant? The manifest silliness of her decision both to fight the shoplifting charge and, far worse, to do so in the Crown Court? All was put to one side over a few beers in the nearby Spread Eagle pub (if I recall the name aright) not long after. Life went on.
