Some quite difficult questions again this week. I managed 6/10, thus beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10.
Talking point
I noticed that the following blog post from nearly 7 years ago, which received a few hits yesterday and today, has stood the test of time quite well:
NEW: Western assessments prior to Trump’s Iran war noted likely scenarios in which the Iranian regime remained in place and the IRGC became more assertive against Western and Gulf interests, launching widespread attacks across the Gulf and seeking to wreak havoc on the global…
As I wrote this morning. Blatant cover-up. If we don't get to actually see the material messages relating to Mandelson's appointment the disclosures are irrelevant. https://t.co/HjEDachkYm
There are now 6 B-52 Stratofortress bombers and 12 B-1B Lancers conducting bombing missions on Iran from UK bases. We are told by the Government these strikes are solely "defensive" in nature. https://t.co/9DQUdtpnOw
According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran has begun mining the Hormuz Strait — the world's main oil corridor. U.S. officials have confirmed that Tehran has placed about ten naval mines in this strategically important waterway.
[“According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran has begun mining the Hormuz Strait — the world’s main oil corridor. U.S. officials have confirmed that Tehran has placed about ten naval mines in this strategically important waterway.
These are specialized munitions that can operate at shallow depths. Some mines are just 90 centimeters below the water surface, while others are anchored to the seabed at depths of up to 50 meters. The warhead of most of these devices contains between 50 and 120 kilograms of explosives — enough to seriously damage a large tanker or surface ship.
The goal of the mine warfare operation is not mass destruction of ships. The mere threat of mines’ presence can paralyze movement through the strait. History shows that this is one of the most effective and cheapest means of pressure on maritime trade. Since World War II, naval mines have caused more damage to U.S. Navy ships than any other weapon.
The paradox of mine warfare is that inexpensive weapons are capable of causing colossal economic consequences. Even a few mines placed in a narrow strait can stop the flow of tankers carrying about 20% of the world’s oil and trigger a global energy crisis.]”
What that says to me is that the Iranian leadership have recognized (how could they not?) the air and sea superiority, indeed supremacy, of the US and its “tail wags dog” “ally”, Israel. The Iranian leadership may therefore be resigned to losing much, perhaps all, of their own oil production and transit as part of the damage from the war, and so have decided to go all-out to close (now, or soon) the Strait of Hormuz, in order to bring down the international economic order.

Jeremy Scahill, American journalist: Deploying ground forces to Iran would be the most foolish and pointless mission possible; it is neither Syria nor Libya, you are dealing with a modern nation whose ground battle will result in massive numbers of American soldiers returning… pic.twitter.com/yIsfg2Tkeo
While I imagine it would be possible for American forces to take and make a bridgehead on some shore, or offshore island, and possible even keep that area occupied for a considerable time, the USA has not the strength, or the will, and certainly not the airlift capacity, to invade Iran and occupy it, or a large part of it.
Iran is the 17th-largest country by area in the world (Iraq is the 58th-), has about 93M inhabitants (Iraq has about 46M).
The land area alone is vast: about 7x the size of that of the UK, 3x the size of Ukraine and, while of course smaller than that of the USA (Iran is about a 6th of the size of the whole USA), still about the size of Alaska or, to put it another way, 4x the size of California 10x the size of Florida, or 12x the size of the State of New York.
Bottom line— the USA, were it to attempt invasion, would be unable to occupy or hold more than a small part of Iran. Kharg Island, maybe, but only at the cost of constant drone and rocket attack on that island and on all ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranians seem to be repeating their mistake of 2025, attacking all over the place rather than concentrating their resources on a few key targets (which to me would be the ben-Gurion Airport, central Tel Aviv, and the Dimona nuclear area. That would leave many other potential targets unattacked, but not everywhere can be attacked with sufficient force. It was once said that “to govern is to choose“; same applies.
All the same, as far as one can judge, the attacks on Israel, so far, seem to be more like minor nuisances to the population as a whole, rather than the wholesale destruction and carnage the Israeli Jews have visited upon the people of Iran, Lebanon etc. Certainly, had the Iranian missiles and drones hit any schools or hospitals, and killed any children and/or patients, you can be sure that UK/US TV and Press would have screamed unceasingly about it.

As always, Trump is like a big child, doing something that has unexpected consequences, then wailing for help from its parents.
I suspect that over the next few days it will become apparent that instead of “standing up to Trump” Starmer has in fact authorised the most intense US bombing campaign from British soil since World War Two. https://t.co/Y58R09MKj4

How strange that Isabel Oakeshott, apparently paid hundreds of thousands of pounds annually (and tax-free, because she holds UAE tax residency), and whose personal partner is multi-millionaire businessman and MP, Richard Tice, should choose to travel by the London Underground. Makes me think she must be mega-“tight”…
I lived for many years, on and off, in London, though not (thankfully) for the past 25 years.
Had I 10,000 men and pleins pouvoirs, I could restore order, permanently, to London within a month.

You cannot move society to a higher form when it is increasingly composed of individuals of lower race and culture. In fact, on that premise, you cannot even maintain society at its present level of culture and development.
We are struggling for a better society, a better way of life, higher living standards, and a European population.

Yes, these events are reported, at least in the UK and mainland Europe, maybe not or not much in the USA, but “somehow” the news is always less intense when it comes to Israeli-perpetrated atrocities like that, whereas when someone tries to shoot a few Jews in the Netherlands, or Michigan, that is reported upon far more heavily than families wiped out in Lebanon, or schools bombed or rocketed in Iran, with hundreds of children killed and wounded. Most people in the USA, and a great many in the UK, get their news from outlets owned or influenced by Jews.
Our animal friends. We must do everything we can to save them and help them.

Even compared to “Boris”-idiot? I suppose that Starmer-stein is a rather more polished liar, anyway.

Israel has informed the United States this week (as of mid-March 2026) that it is critically low on ballistic missile interceptors, specifically systems like the Arrow family, which defend against long-range ballistic missiles from Iran.
Nigerian woman, puppet of the Jewish lobby and Israel, member of Conservative Friends of Israel, wants the UK to interfere in a fight that has absolutely nothing to do with us, all because Israel and the UK Jewish lobby “fifth column” want it to happen.
*I’ll knock the Greens 95% of the time but I don’t disagree that America & Israel have gone rogue and that’s polite.
Hodges is blatantly pro-Jew, pro-Israel. I do not know whether he has some Jewish background (not via his mother, the English actress Glenda Jackson), or what. Maybe just for reasons of careerism (“they” are vindictive to those who do not kow-tow to them).
Still, it is clear that Starmer-stein is in a bind. He is usually a complete puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby, but the Gorton and Denton by-election showed that many, perhaps most, of the Muslim voters in the UK are ditching Labour in favour of the Greens, George Galloway’s “Workers’ Party” or Islamist independent candidates.
That factor, together with the defection of huge numbers of English/British voters to Reform UK, means that Starmer must tread carefully with the Muslim voting bloc (at present about 7% of all voters, but maybe 10% by 2029, and an already critical-mass in quite a number of presently-Labour constituencies).

Even Oman, which has the highest degree of self-sufficiency among these countries, still obtains most of its needed food from abroad.
The Strait of Hormuz is best known as the world’s most important oil choke point, but it is also one of the vital arteries for food imports into the Persian Gulf countries.

If you ever wanted a policy to encourage even more illegal migration then I’m pretty sure “try and get into our country and if your claim for asylum is denied we will give you £40,000 to leave” would be it.
A simple, obviously correct statement. “Come to the UK on a rubber boat, illegally (or come as a student or tourist, then overstay, and then make a bogus claim for asylum; and then, when rejected, get up to £40,000 in cash, and a free air ticket home“, yet the present government (including failed rock-bottom one-time lawyer-for-five-minutes, Shabana Mahmood, herself a Pakistani) cannot, apparently, see the nonsense for what it is. Or prefer not to see.
A plain invitation to come to the UK as a migrant-invader, and fleece the British people out of up to £40,000 (and, incidentally, while your bogus asylum claim is being “investigated”, you will get free accommodation, a government debit card with money put on it every week, free food, and any necessary medical and dental care etc).

Dubai Airport is closed. Abu Dhabi Airport is closed. Doha Airport is closed. Kuwait Airport is closed. Bahrain Airport is closed. Ben Gurion is closed.
All her money, and she chooses to live there. Hard to believe. Ghastly unaesthetic architecture, few trees beyond the palm trees lining some of the main roads, a mediaeval legal and political system, Dark Ages religious and cultural basis, few civil or legal rights for European residents, arrogant and culturally-backward locals, and a climate unbearable for a good part of the year.
I have been to the region a few times (though I admit that my experience of Dubai itself does not extend beyond having been to the airport —in transit— several times). Nein danke, anyway.
Also, in reality Dubai is a backwater, for all of its —until last week— frenetic business and tourist activity. If I wanted to live in a non-European backwater, and could choose, it would be somewhere like Rio, or the Caribbean, not the Middle East, certainly not the Arabian/Persian Gulf, and certainly not Dubai.
I suppose that Dubai, if it had Jews, and Jewish money as well as Arab, would be some kind of globalized template for UK society in the eyes of the likes of Richard Tice (Isabel Oakeshott’s personal partner), maybe Farage, and others in the leadership of Reform UK.
That is why Reform UK can only be a means to an end (destruction of the Labour and Conservative parties); in any other way, Reform is a dead end, a fact which will only become obvious to the British people after it forms a government (assuming, as I do, that that will happen in 2-3 years).
Incidentally, I now see that Isabel Oakeshott is International Editor at the online-only “Talk TV” platform, where (according to Wikipedia) her salary is £250,000 per year (there is no personal income tax in Dubai). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_(streaming_service)#Change_to_TalkTV
Talk TV, owned by a Rupert Murdoch company, is so amateur that it reported, inaccurately (and the lie may still be up on the Internet), that I was “jailed” after the malicious Jewish-lobby “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] pressure group cabal (a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London) managed to procure a criminal prosecution of me a few years ago (2023; sentencing was in 2024).
In fact, I did not even get a suspended sentence, just a brief “community order” (basically, a few hours of discussions with a probation lady, about 5 hours altogether) and a fine (some internet sites “reported” that I had been sentenced also to do “community service”, i.e. slave labour. No, I was not).
For the truth about my trial and its aftermath, a rather more accurate account than you will see on rubbish platforms such as Talk TV, see:
Talk TV also hosts, occasionally, the one-time notorious Internet troll Stephen Silverman from the “CAA” (he grandly terms himself “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”), who is always whining about “antisemitism”. He used pseudonyms to target anti-Israel tweeters (almost all women). A very nasty individual.
I call it the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV.

According to a report from Hebrew 12, the Israeli military cabinet has informed the army that Iran is just warming up and escalating the war. The missile strikes will intensify, and there's no end in sight yet.

I wonder whether the Iranians have saboteurs embedded. The Iranians are of course Shia, Kuwaits Sunni, but it might not be ideological; could be mercenary, if it was sabotage at all.
One troubling thing starting to emerge is that the Iranian drone strikes are proving more effective than military planners expected at the start of this conflict. They are much harder to detect and neutralise than Iran's ballistic missile capability. And much easier to produce.
One other thing about Keir Starmer's increasingly hopeless vacillation over the Iranian attacks on UK targets. It's obviously bad enough in its own right. But Vladimir Putin is sitting and watching this. What signal are we currently sending to him.
For once, I have a word of faint praise for Starmer-stein. After all, why should the UK join in (yet again) on the Jewish/Israeli side. As for “British base was attacked“, those bases now serve NWO/ZOG “American” interests, not those of the British people.
👀Looks like Iran has hit the oil facilities at Ras Tanura. Very big deal. Ras Tanura is not just the world's biggest oil export terminal. It's an iconic site that goes back to the very birth of Saudi as a petrostate. Here's something I wrote about it in Material World👇 https://t.co/aAuHc4xjP2pic.twitter.com/qw6MrhWmzL
Ah. “Saudi Arabian” oil (and gas). Discovered by Europeans and European-descended Americans. Extracted by Europeans and Americans. For a long time, refined by Europeans and Americans. Transported across the oceans by Europeans and Americans. Consumed mainly by Europeans and Americans. In another century, the Saudis will not be arrogantly visiting the cities of Europe and the USA, ostentatiously flaunting their unearned wealth. They will be back on their camels, and probably living in tents again. The same goes for the Gulf Arabs in general.
The thing about RAF Akrotiri is that it's not just another base, it's technically a British Overseas Territory like Gibraltar or the Falklands. Iran is attacking British sovereign territory. https://t.co/Q6xB6IxLBw
No. Reform UK could have won at Gorton and Denton if it were social-national, rather than a farrago of pseudo-“libertarian” finance-capitalist nonsense and worship of money, and also worship of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. Also, it could have won if more English voters in that constituency had actually bothered to turn off the TV, and had got off their rear ends, and had voted. Also, had Farage put in more walkabout time there.
That said, the by-election result is most significant for the fact that Labour was trashed and trodden down. The fact is that Reform UK, despite its flaws, is still riding high, up to 30% in opinion polling, with both Con and Lab as low as 15%. Gorton and Denton may have rejected Reform UK, but Reform is still on track to gain hundreds of MPs in other areas at the next general election.
Stray thought
I was just reminded that the distance from Tel Aviv to the border of Gaza is a mere 47 miles, almost exactly the distance from my one-time (2002-2008) barristers’ chambers in Exeter to my (leased only, sadly) country house on the Cornish side of the Tamar. Once or twice, in emergencies, I managed to go door to door in only 30 minutes (on the dual-carriageway of the A30 for most of the journey but including single-track lanes and, in Exeter, traffic and traffic-lights).
It's crystal clear from the Hegseth press conference the United States has no coherent mission objectives or strategy. It's essentially bomb, see what happens, hope the Iranians rise up in some undefined way.
FPTP voting being the illogical and unfair thing that it is, those figures would result in a similar number of seats (for the English parties) as at GE 2024, according to Electoral Calculus.
If, however, Labour went down to 28% and Reform UK went up to 24%, the latter might have 48 MPs. Also, Labour would be a minority government.
Despite the evident hopeless incompetence of Starmer-Labour, the pseudo-Conservative Party shows no immediate sign of being able to mount a serious challenge.
I once knew someone whose ex-boyfriend, English and a Cambridge graduate, worked for the World Bank. That young man was sent to live in Yemen (at that time divided into two; I am not sure but think this would have been South Yemen). That would have been in the mid/late 1970s. The young man lived in fairly basic hotel accommodation for the year in which he was collecting and collating economic statistics in Yemen. At the end of the year, those would be the raw material for a report which would become an official World Bank report and the basis for economic help to that Yemeni state.
This was, of course, in pre-Internet days, and the statistics gathered in were all on paper in his hotel room. No copies, and there was no way, in the absence of an office, to relay any but the most basic information to World Bank HQ in Washington D.C.
At the end of the year, that young World Bank employee was ready to depart, carrying with him all the papers and files etc. It was at that point when a water pipe in his room developed a bad leak while he was out. The room was flooded, and most of the material destroyed.
On return to Washington, the young man sat in his office for a couple of weeks, agonizing about what to do. Eventually, a senior colleague came in and asked him what the problem was. He confessed. The senior colleague helped him to cobble together a report that looked plausible, though most of the statistics had to be simply invented.
“World Bank”. Like many things, organizations and people in this world, it sounds terribly impressive. On the surface…
As to the “young man” in question, I myself met him only once, when he was not that young anymore. Early 1980s. I was about 26, my then girlfriend 33, and the “young man” in this story about 33 or 34, maybe 35. He, on a flying visit, invited us, with a couple of others, also ex-Cambridge alumni (as always, I was the outsider) to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, I think on the Finchley Road, not far from where the other couple lived in Hampstead.
The economist’s American wife was back in the USA. Perhaps he was curious to see his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. It could have been a little awkward, especially in view of the fact that there was an age gap made greater by the others being all rather established in worldly life, whereas I was pretty much “economically inactive”, and spending most of my time on occult, theological, historical, and speculative “alternative” political matters.
In the event, the evening went not badly, despite (maybe because) I was too busy talking to notice that I was pouring hot Chinese tea all over myself; the (other) lady present said that it was very impressive that I did not cry out. Very dry, very Cambridge…
I just looked up the said economist. Now in, at least, his mid-seventies, he has apparently also worked for the U.S. Treasury and on Wall Street, and has taken part at a high level in meetings of the Basel Committee [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_Committee_on_Banking_Supervision]. Obviously still based, in the old term, “stateside”.
As always, I find it interesting to see how people’s lives are largely determined, not in every case but in many, by their advantages and disadvantages of birth, family income and capital, early education etc.
The economist’s father, I now see (from Wikipedia), died in 1988 and, as I already knew, was a Labour (later SDP) life peer, who had had a considerable medical, academic, and political career.
In the end, all humans live out an allotted span, and all in the end leave the Earth (until reincarnated).

“A geography professor at a leading British university has described the study of rocks and the natural world as racist and linked the academic field to ‘white supremacy’.
Kathryn Yusoff, who lectures at the prestigious Queen Mary University of London, said that the geology as a subject was ‘riven by systematic racism’ and influenced heavily by colonialism.
The study of prehistoric life through fossils was also branded as an enabler for racism, with the professor referring to the field of palaeontology as ‘pale-ontology’.”

Specifically, I am interested in the role of inhuman epistemologies in race, gender, and subjectivity for more equitable environmental world-building.“

The staggering environmental and financial cost comes despite the summit being deemed ‘no longer fit for purpose’, with leaders of some of the biggest polluting countries, including US President Joe Biden and China‘s President Xi, shunning talks.“

That is what the Jewish state has done to Gaza in just over one year.
Quasi-legal thought
It occurs to me that, should anyone in the UK be accused of any indictable offence (meaning, simply put, one in which guilt will be determined by a jury rather than a single magistrate —or lay bench— as is the case with non-indictable offences), and if that alleged offence involves alleged hostility to Jews, or the Jews in general, the said defendant might be able to count on popular disgust at what the Jewish state of Israel is doing in Gaza to sway the jury. Just “a thought out of season”…

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…

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.

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

“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.

One reason I challenge the elite consensus on mass immigration and broken borders is because unless people feel respected and safe in their own country they will find other ways to express their frustration https://t.co/6S1tPfCRHdpic.twitter.com/J4eckNLR5z
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.

"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.”

📍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.

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”.

For example, he used to tweet frequently about how “free speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your free speech“.

Don’t forget it was Starmer who got the law through that gives migrants the benefits they get here. He did that just before Blair opened the doors and went to war with Iraq. I don’t think he sees the connection or the fear. He’s reverting to being an official and ‘using the law’
“Starmer, and his mob of Islington lawyers, just don’t get it. His very political speech , surrounded by Union flags, deliberately misses the point. He doesn’t understand that away from his protected world, ordinary people associate the murder of innocent children with the arrival of illegal migrants. There is fear on the streets and he’s waffling on about online crackdowns or getting police forces to talk to each other. Neither will solve the problem. Stopping the boats will. The reality is I’m not sure he wants to.“

Good grief. For the second time in a month I find myself in agreement with former Sun editor, Kelvin MacKenzie.
Is that meant to be some kind of omen? Of course, in ancient times, signs and portents were taken very seriously, as you can see in Herodotus.
Even the ex Heads of MI5 & MI6 have gently, publicly, criticised Richard Dearlove for the manner he has handled information. For those sceptical, I refer to Iraq & the podcast of Alastair Campbell & Rory Stewart. Far, far too often people in UK are fed a 'narrative' not truth.

Talking point
[Dave Brown/The Independent]
As the ordure hits the fan, the System (and its cartoonists etc, the cartoon above being from the now online-only Independent) are loudly shouting that the disorder just below the surface in the UK’s cities, and breaking surface fairly often, is not because of factors such as —and most importantly— the invasion of this country by tens of millions of blacks and browns (etc), but by the people appalled at what has happened, what is happening, and what is plainly going to happen not very far in the future.
The System mouthpieces blame, for that disorder, not the underlying causes, and certainly not the treacherous “political class” at Westminster (which deliberately contrived the migration-invasion), but Farage, Reform UK, “Tommy Robinson”, other and various nationalist or social-national Prominente, and even bloggers and truth-tellers such as me.
Incidentally, I was just looking at a few more examples of that cartoonist’s work; liked this one:

“Day 8 of 56. Mark Lewis and Patron Law have not yet paid my costs. Lewis submitted evidence to the High Court in my case about the transfer of his client’s house.
It seemed unlikely the evidence was true, so – like the judge in Lewis’ Davidoff case – I checked.
The Land Registry info showed Lewis’ evidence was false and he made another statement apologising to the court.
That’s twice in a year that Lewis has provided untrue evidence to the High Court and it has only been picked up by careful online research.”
[James Wilson].
It seems to me that Lewis is going to find himself sued in professional negligence soon, if he has not already been. My prediction is that he will scuttle back to Israel screeching about “antisemitism” in the UK. He will (probably) be safe from legal action there (though that is, I admit, a guess on my part), and will leave the small Jewish law firm in West London, which is his foothold in the English jurisdiction, to pick up any bill. Another guess on my part, but I expect that to be the way things develop.
It would be rather unfair were Lewis to scream about “antisemitism”. After all, not only have “British” (albeit “occupied”) mass media outlets (Daily Mail etc) been puffing Lewis, quite inaccurately, and for years, as a supposed hot-shot lawyer, but when Lewis was found guilty before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (just before he officially emigrated to Israel), his own Counsel begged the Tribunal not to fine Lewis heavily, because he lived in a rented apartment, and because his only assets were his [extremely vulgar] clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was being provided to him free of charge by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the Motability scheme run for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
“A former counter-terrorism police chief has accused Nigel Farage of helping incite violence that broke out in Southport after the killing of three children in a knife attack this week.

Well, there it is. Mixed-race ex-“anti-terror” cop Basu [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Basu] proclaims that people should not be allowed to speak on socio-politically contentious issue or events, but should “keep their mouths shut“. There speaks the true voice of “woke” System totalitarianism.
Why should British people “shut up” just because types like Basu disagree with what they are saying?
Even more egregious, Farage was merely asking pointed questions.
More egregious yet, Farage is actually an MP, and leader of both a bloc of MPs and a party for which 2 out of every 12 voters (who voted) voted at GE 2024 (Con 3 out of 12, Lab 4 out of 12).
If enemies of freedom like Basu demand that even elected MPs and party leaders “keep their mouths shut“, what little freedom would the bastards allow to “ordinary citizens”?
Incidentally, Basu has never been elected to anything, has no degree or equivalent (as far as I know), has never written a book or anything else of note (as far as I know), and even the police were glad when he took early retirement, it seems.
Where is Basu’s locus standi, really?
This is the way things are going in the UK.

“Reform UK” is just a pointless thing: a slightly more populist, slightly more anti-immigration version of the Conservative Party. Very much “controlled opposition”.
Still, the one good thing about “Reform UK” is that, out of desperation, many native Brits may vote for it next year, at the 2024 General Election. Matt Goodwin forecasts 10% or even 15%. If so, the Conservative Party, which is surely at the end of the line, will be as good as terminated even if (as is possible and probable) “Reform UK” gets no seats at all.
If “Reform UK” gets a nationwide 15% next year, and if the Conservative Party manages only 20%, the result (using Electoral Calculus) would be that the Conservative Party will be left with only 49 seats: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

De Klerk and his SABC propagandists are guilty of high treason and directly responsible for every Afrikaner murdered and raped. There were several political solutions but De Klerk just handed us over to our enemies.
One or two people I knew used to get angry with me when I said that both the white Rhodesians (from 1979) and the white South Africans (from 1994) surrendered power, in effect, “for a swimming pool”, meaning their “way of life”. They were all too ready to accept the global conspiracy’s presentation of Mugabe and Mandela as “educated”, “civilized” leaders who respected the minority of white “settlers” (in the case of South Africa, “settlers” who, in some cases, could trace their ancestors having lived in Africa back to the 17th Century, longer than many of the Africans in that part of the continent).
So it was that that, for a while, the Rhodesians were able to keep living a comfortable life, until, about a decade later, the African mob realized that their lives had, if anything, deteriorated under “African” “majority” rule. Mugabe then appointed Africans to high positions and allowed approved Africans to seize white-owned farms; sometimes the real owners were just killed. All the while, the BBC and msm generally in the UK continued to praise the Mugabe regime. Eventually, of course, the economy, currency, and society generally collapsed.
In South Africa, a more complex society, and one which had at one time about 20% of its population white European, the process has been slower but similar. For quite a while, the white Europeans (English and Afrikaaner “Dutch”) were able to pretend that all was sort-of well: SUVs, rugby shirts, braai (barbecue) gatherings…Sadly, the South African train has pretty much hit the buffers now. The ANC has ruined South Africa, and the African urban and rural masses are angry that their lives have not improved.
As for white South Africans, they have voted with their feet.
The absurd thing is that both white societies could have held out. Once the Soviet Union collapsed (officially, 1991, but really from 1989), the ending of Soviet funding for the ANC and other “liberation” movements shifted the strategic balance. South Africa need never have held the whites-only Referendum which (thanks to propaganda) delivered a vote to bin apartheid by about 69% to 31% of the vote.
Rhodesia was in a more difficult position militarily, admittedly, but probably could have carried on until 1989/1990.
How long before South Africa descends totally into chaos and bloodshed? Maybe another decade.
Using Electoral Calculus, that would leave the Con Party with 124 seats, far worse than in 1945 (197) or 1997 (165), but not necessarily completely “existential”. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
If, however, Reform UK gets a 15% slice next year, rather than 9%, and if that increase comes from former Con and Lab voters equally, the 124 Con MPs reduce to 115. If Reform UK gets 15% and the extra 6 points come exclusively from former Con voters, then the number of Con MPs reduces further, to 47. Big difference.
I should have thought that Reform UK voters are mostly discontented former Con voters.

Incidentally, it is not “the banking system” that does such things, as such, but malicious and politically-motivated individuals. Those individuals should be sought out and punished.
The Imperial Institute, London, built in 1893 and demolished (apart from the central tower) in 1967.

Saying building will be allowed on “dilapidated” green belt is resulting in developers buying up green belt sites,tearing up trees & vegetation, destroying habitats so it is classified as dilapidated & suitable for development. More costly Brownfield sites then remain untouched.

For once, he is right.
Time and again, @MattHancock argues that what this country needs is more lockdowns not less. It is astonishing that someone so intelligent is so blind to the overwhelming evidence that lockdowns cause more death and misery than they prevent.
Why on Earth does Isabel Oakeshott think little Matt Hancock particularly intelligent? Because he has a PPE degree from Oxford and a “no-one fails” “Master’s” degree from Cambridge? I see nothing in his pronouncements or political life to ground the assumption.

“Jack Monroe”
The kefuffle around online “grifter” and fraudster “Jack Monroe” continues…
Plenty of time & money to spend stolen funds on designer clothes, jewellery, four- & five-figure watches, expensive brand furniture in five/six figures, three Smeg fridge-freezers &c though. She’s not thrifty at all, only grifty. More CCJs are ‘incoming’. She has stolen millions.
@LegalGengar (the claimant) has kept people updated with screenshots of all court documents, proof of Jack Monroe doxxing him, proof of her reluctant settlement of the CCJ & proof of his resultant donation of the £400+ costs to a charity.
Tweeter “Adespoto” is either “Jack Monroe” herself, or one of her mentally-disturbed supporters.
All that stolen money thrown away on bots and the scamming thief Jack Monroe’s bot/paid follower game is still so weak. Check out this account with 1 like, 1 follower and 1 post (obviously about her!) in 6 years, for example 😂 https://t.co/2uq6A5wNYs
As if “Jack Monroe” will give up her scam! Not while (as of today) 414 utter mugs are each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month, thousands of pounds monthly (maybe even tens of thousands) in toto.
Also, there are still a few (collusive?) persons within the decadent/degenerate msm still trying to promote “Jack Monroe” as real “activist” rather than a mendacious “grifter” , as when she was invited onto BBC Question Time a while ago.
Of course, if all those 414 mug-donors (and previous donors who saw the light and opted-out) were to take the course bravely taken by “Legal Gengar”, then “Jack Monroe” would probably be bankrupted, and would certainly lose whatever remaining lustre her public image retains. He or she took “Jack Monroe” to County Court, was awarded £10 and minor costs (which she refused to pay), but persisted until she was forced to pay what by then amounted to hundreds of pounds.
Very true. You do not have to look at the French urban areas though; look at the “British” cities. Not that they suffer riots so much, but the rot comes out in other ways: drugs, gangs, crime generally, and the gradual collapse of decent life.
Most of them can hardly read anyway. Why should they care? This is what happens when pseudo-liberal “democracy” results in invasion by untermenschen, and the breeding of huge numbers more.

#FranceRiots: Islamists are attacking Police, officials and civilians in Paris, Marseille & Nantes. This is what happens when you don’t control your borders. Macron and his globalist cabal of ‘elites’ in government are the problem. Europe must wake up now.https://t.co/Tf9Zb1gVfY
First, they made their own homes Sharia-compliant hell. Then they fled to the land of kafirs to save themselves. France gave them refuge. Now they have made a fresh hell out of beautiful, liberal France. They are burning it down. #FranceRiotshttps://t.co/PZQOGNWsDi
Exactly. When will English and other white “me too”-liberals (pseudo-liberals) wake up to that simple truth?
Macro's France is Burning due to #FranceRiots, Sweden is also Burning, People of Germany are being stabbed, Girls in UK are being Raped, Europe is facing enormous immigration issues.
Zelensky signed a law on additional payments to the military, expanding the number to be mobilized
Now the cannon fodder will be the Ukrainians, whose wife or husband, parents or parents of the spouse are invalids of the I or II group. They will be taken to the front if there…
…and the transnational conspiracy still pretends, via the Western mass audience of TV, radio etc, that the brutal and corrupt regime of the Jew Zelensky is somehow good and even noble…

Those missiles cost about £2.5M each, money that could have been spent on so many things in the UK. In effect, £2.5M cash, given by a useless UK government to a corrupt and brutal Ukrainian regime. Wasted in a few minutes, in a pointless war.

“It was the two managers of the hotel there talking to us. The hotel manager – she had to hold the tears back you could see – and she just announced that they’re laying everybody off as from 10 July, even them are getting laid off.
“The owners of the hotel… they didn’t even come down to give the news themselves, they left it to the two managers who are also going to lose their jobs as well which is really sad.
“The whole of the staff upstairs were all waiting, nobody was looking for jobs, they were all sticking together, waiting ’til final last minute, hoping that they were going to get offered something or that they wouldn’t get left.
830 years after 9 million books in Nalanda were burnt by Islamists, the largest public library in the city of Marseille in France has been set on fire.
…and, with it, the idea that Europe should —or even can— be “multicultural”.
The largest library in Marseille, containing irreplaceable medieval books, is burned by rioters. It's good to see racist "European culture" destroyed.

Sardonic black humour by a comedian, but there are a large number of enemies of our culture and future who really do think like that. Many are in the msm, but the contamination is spreading through, eg, the police, in the UK and beyond.
Again, think about what “element” is behind most of the cultural degeneracy. The same as during the 15 years of the Weimar Republic in Germany (1918-1933).

Strange to see the smartly-uniformed railway staff of 1963, as compared to not only many rail employees today, but even persons working at 10 Downing Street or in other high-profile situations.
Also, interesting to note that Evercreech Junction (Somerset), featured in that film, was closed down and became derelict a mere 3 years later, and that several towns of significance on that now-disappeared line no longer have railway stations at all (Glastonbury, for one).
[the Somerset and Dorset railway system as it was in 1890; the line covered by the John Betjeman film is shown in green]
These rail links were not hobbyists’ railways even in the 1960s; they were working, and carrying passengers, until (in this case) 1966:
[Northbound Somerset & Dorset train climbing up from Shepton Mallet at Windsor Hill in 1959]
The Betjeman film is also a useful antidote to the notion that Britain in 1963 was all London, Carnaby Street, the Beatles, social upheaval etc. A very different way of life then existed still in the provinces.

Black privilege. You can brutally beat an elderly white man on video (video in the thread) and have the charges dropped. Not only that, you'll have your racial kin pushing that you are the victim of some white supremacist system. https://t.co/PYXbyNpZt8
What we in the UK (and West generally) are shown is happening in Ukraine is quite different from the reality on the ground. The basically Jewish/Zionist propaganda of the Zelensky regime has been very skilful; many do not see behind it.
Sadly, though, that GB News assertion may be accurate, so pervasive has the msm multikulti propaganda been over past decades.

How can this be acceptable? It is largely because of the past mad 2 years of useless (in fact, counter-productive) “lockdowns”, shutdowns, “furlough” payments, grants and “loans” to (often fraudulent) supposed businesses and self-employed etc. Meanwhile, the plebs all gathered obediently outside their houses and clapped the increasingly non-existent NHS and other public services.
Beyond the above, however, this is at least partly the result of an entirely cynical and planned reduction in living standards in the UK (and the EU states are going the same way).
What plan? Suppress the white British birth rate, import blacks and browns, then reduce living standards to a level previously (certainly for the past 70 years) unacceptable to English people, but acceptable to the bottom-of-barrel imports from Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East etc.
It is also the case that, as the British masses focus on their increasingly precarious micro-economic problems, their wider identity interests fade into the background. All part of the agenda…

For once, I disagree with tweeter “@EternalEnglish”. Basic Income is a concept whose time has surely come.
Nothing to do with religion imo It's all about destroying Putin, carving up Russia, pillaging its resources. The great global reset can't succeed with Russia still intact. Ukrainians are just collateral damage. Any puppet in Kiev will do as long as he obeys orders.

Jew-Zionism is only partly a question of traditional religion; more a matter of race and consequent ideology.
Look who is powerful in the World Bank, IMF, Federal Reserve, TV companies, publishing, social media companies etc.
Two out of three— Jewish. You don’t have to be Jewish, of course, but…
You get my point.
This evening’s final word
Just saw a clip on Twitter (see above) from some TV show, on a channel I had never heard of called Talk TV. A panel discussion. Presenter was James Max (I think Jewish, or part-Jewish), and the four panellists were Vanessa Feltz (Jewish), Sharon Osbourne (half-Jewish), some black man, and Isabel Oakeshott. No white British/Northern European man at all, despite white people still making up about 80% of the UK population.
You get my point.
[late update: I have just now discovered that Talk TV is owned by Newscorp, i.e. Rupert Murdoch].
