Well, I managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul again, despite scoring only 5/10 (had 2 near-misses as well). Rentoul awarded himself 2/10, plus two half-points, this week. I knew the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8.
“Hundreds of thousands of dementia patients in England face being denied access to revolutionary new drugs because the diagnostic capacity of the NHS lags behind every other G7 country, according to a damning report.
After decades of research to find a cure for the condition projected to affect 153 million people worldwide by 2050, scientists have successfully developed the first treatments to tackle the underlying causes rather than only relieve the symptoms. Two new drugs could get the green light for use on the NHS within weeks.
However, their effectiveness depends on prompt and early diagnosis of patients. The report, obtained by the Guardian, says the NHS lacks the diagnostic capacity to accurately identify those eligible in time.
The analysis reveals England is unprepared for the rollout of new treatments, with “large gaps in diagnostic capacity” for dementia. It also warns of a £14bn funding black hole that must be plugged if England is to diagnose dementia as quickly as the other G7 countries, the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.“
I have to say that the few Palestinians I have met (mostly in Qatar and around) have impressed me in that way, and far more favourably than the arrogant and stupid Gulf Arabs (Qataris and Kuwaitis) also met.
Sometime in the 1970s, I think probably in late 1977, I met the PLO representative in London, Said Hammami, who was based at the Arab League offices in Mayfair, and he was rather dismissive, but in retrospect I suppose that he had things on his mind, and probably little time in which to speak to a young person (21-y-o) with his head in the clouds in some ways…
I do not remember much about the discussion; mostly that the PLO man wore a rather filthy sheepskin coat in his little office, and that a young and rather stylish Arab woman in the outer office smoked a kind of long brown cigarette called More; I remember asking her what they were [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_(cigarette)].
Unfortunately, that PLO fellow was shot dead in the same office only (as far as I can recall) a few weeks later. The matter was never solved by the police. Either MOSSAD, or a different Palestinian faction to his own (he belonged to Fatah, I think). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Said_Hammami. Apparently he was in favour of talking to the Israelis; that may have been the reason behind the assassination.

Voters of Britain: whatever your ideology, whatever you support or dislike, when GE 2024 arrives vote any way you like except “Conservative”, or do not vote at all. Crush and exterminate this useless party. Equally-bad “Labour” can fall later, but first things first.
I don't see why this chap is attracting so much sympathy from the journalism trade. I don't have an issue with him being duped into sending pictures, it's that he then betrayed his colleagues – leaving them open to blackmail attempts too.

“BRIT billionaire businessman Joe Lewis has been sentenced for insider training. Here is the rise and fall of the ex-Spurs chief:
After quitting school at the age of 15, entrepreneurial Lewis went to work for his dad’s catering company.
Lewis began managing a super-club called The Talk of the Town – where the likes of Frank Sinatra performed – in the 1960s, and granted girl group The Nolans their first live show.
He then got a taste for business and took over the firm – turning it into a string of restaurants before flogging it in 1979 for a whopping £30million.
Lewis used his cash influx to invest in currency trading and was subbed The Boxer in a nod to his wild success and power in the investment ring.
Lewis forked out £22million in 2001 to buy a controlling stake in Tottenham Hotspur from Lord Sugar.
One particular investment on Black Wednesday in September 1992 helped elevate him to uber-rich status, as he successfully bet on the Pound crashing out of the European Exchange Rate as Britain tried to align it with other Euro countries.
He became a billionaire overnight…”
[The Sun]
Note how the Sun “newspaper” fails to identify the defendant as Jewish, despite said defaulter having profited hugely, e.g. on “Black Wednesday” (1992), from the impoverishment of the British people.

The Daily Mail was granted permission by the UAE authorities to join them on the Boeing 777 where we witnessed up close a scale of suffering that is difficult to comprehend.
These shocking pictures, which include a little boy who was shot at by the IDF in an ambulance, come after Israeli drone pilots this week killed three British war heroes dispensing aid in the territory.“

The leech-state of Israel is a threat to the whole world, in a number of ways. It has an organized lobby supporting it, not least in the UK, concentrated in the fields of TV, radio, the mainstream Press, the legal professions, in politics, and in lucrative business activities.

“Police have been filmed arresting a woman at a London railway station after footage was shared of a violent thug branded the ‘female Mizzy‘ punching strangers seemingly for social media clout.
Officers in hi-vis clothing were filmed restraining a woman in a dark jacket and a grey hood at the edge of the concourse in London Victoria railway station, in video footage disseminated on Snapchat.
The clip showed a woman being restrained by a police officer within the station.
The arrest came after an as-yet-unnamed twisted prankster was filmed seemingly clobbering innocent victims on the London Underground as well as in a supermarket, and on the steps outside the Westfield Stratford shopping centre.
So make her famous— put her in stocks somewhere such as Leicester Square for 24 hours, and let the mob throw rotten tomatoes etc at her. Same goes for that “Mizzy” cretin.
With large numbers of untermenschen of that type, Britain will not only be unable to create a better society; it will be unable even to maintain the present crumbling one.
A ‘brilliant’ professor died aged just 43 after doctors botched treatment for a rare condition on which he was a national expert, his GP widow told an inquest today.
His wife, Dr Shivani Tanna, said it was ‘terrifying’ for him to realise that doctors there didn’t ‘understand’ HLH, for which he sat on a national panel.
As a result, despite being seriously unwell and feeling ‘foggy in the brain’, he had to help advise doctors on how to treat him.
But even though he was a haematologist himself, he faced a struggle to persuade nurses to show him his blood test results, she said.
‘He kept himself alive on the wards because he was a doctor,’ Dr Tanna told Manchester Coroner’s Court.
If he had just been ‘Joe Bloggs’, he would have been dead within three days of being admitted, ‘just by sheer negligence’, she claimed.“

“Members of the public should be ready to be called up to defend their country, a former head of MI6 has suggested.
Sir Alex Younger said Britons have been ‘infantilised’ since the end of the Cold War and the Government should consider having the power to ‘compel’ people to serve.”
[Daily Mail]
In fact, Younger is just part of the problem, and offers no solutions. [What might be called] “an educated cretin” who, after an expensive education, did 2-3 years as a Guards officer before joining the “niche career opportunity for the English middle classes”— SIS/MI6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Younger
Younger seems entirely unaware that, even now, the UK seems (not to me, but to most of the British people, meaning real British people) not worth defending. What does Younger think the UK will be like by, say, 2034? 2044?
By 2050, half of those inhabiting these islands will not even be British in any real sense. Does Younger imagine that they will agree to be conscripted? Incidentally, it is no answer to say that the agreement of the conscripted is unnecessary; enlistment of the unwilling usually produces poor results.
Younger seems to be part of that UK pseudo-elite at the top of UK affairs which is so featherbedded and isolated from reality—reality as most people experience it in this country— that the same (self-regarding) “elite” constantly get it wrong in every way.

Obviously, I would take issue with some of that, but there is no doubt that National Socialism and Zionism both emerged from similar ideas current in the Central European region in the 19th Century, Zionism from the “blood and soil” ideas of Herzl, and National Socialism from similar but Aryan/European-oriented ideas. Both came to fruition, though, later, in the early/mid 20thC.
Chris Williamson, the former MP, is rather unsound ideologically. He opposes Israel and the Jewish/Zionist lobby, yet in his words and tweets etc gives credence to one of its most important propaganda weapons, the “holocaust” mythus —as packaged by Hollywood— as witness that tweet above.
Williamson retweeted me a few times, a number of years ago, when I still had a Twitter account (a malicious pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018), but later he blocked me after the same or similar Jews raised a mass shriek against me. Craven, as well as ideologically inconsistent.

As Bloomberg notes, the leadership of NATO Supreme Commander Christopher Cavoli’s contact group will protect the structure from political changes that may occur after the November US presidential elections.
Stoltenberg will formally put forward the proposal at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels on April 3 and 4. According to Bloomberg, Jens Stoltenberg is also proposing to create an allied contribution fund of $100 billion, which will be allocated to Ukraine over five years. According to the agency, the NATO Secretary General is urging the allies to sign a document on the creation of a structure at the alliance summit.“

The birth-rate is falling in the European-populated countries (my main concern), but also in almost every other part of the world, except Africa and a few parts of the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia.
The facile, pro-immigration argument is that “Europe is not having enough children to continue its life and economy— bring in immigrants from… [wherever, but Africa and parts of Asia are usually mentioned]”.
That is like saying “the pilot and co-pilot have both had fatal heart attacks— get the cabin crew to fly the plane.” It just does not work, and cannot work.
It may be that via a concatenation of circumstances, the European peoples will quite soon have to start again, to build a new foundation for social and economic life.
It comes to mind that the ultimate reason for the falling birth-rate almost worldwide may be because so many human spirits were, in the past century or more, rushing into incarnation in order to experience the high-water mark of the industrial culture of the 20th/21st centuries. That rush is now at an end. The fact that it is mainly the Africans who are still being born in large numbers may reflect the fact (if it is a fact) that they were last in incarnation very long ago. Speculative, admittedly.

What Matthew Parris has said is basic Tory policy. You only need look back at the past 14yrs to see that there is one common factor and that is the deaths of those who are 'economically inactive'. The disabled, the poor, the pensioners, the aged, and the infirm all targets.
— @ Vincent Rowlatt. (Peasant) (@VincentRowlatt) March 31, 2024
Can’t you see how this is the result of how politicians talk about disabled people? Labour have been very clear that they’re going to push disabled people off benefits, that only ‘hard workers’ will be valued when you’re in power. A lot of us are scared of the next parliament…
No wonder, then, that the new breed of “Labour” political drones and freeloaders think first of all about how to increase their own physical security. They are afraid of the people they claim to represent. Rachel Reeves. Liz Kendall. Others. All the Labour Friends of Israel MPs.
Was there ever a better ex. of a useless unproductive person than Matthew Parris? he's produced nothing of value his entire life, therefore he shld be first in line to be culled. But of course, he doesn't mean people like HIMSELF, he means poor ppl & disabled ppl. Revolting.
Good point. Matthew Parris: useless as a Foreign Office trainee, useless as a Conservative Party office bod, useless as Mrs Thatcher’s correspondence secretary, useless as an MP…
I have had the misfortune to meet many men within the prison system, like the suspected Beckenham attacker, Rakeem Thomas.
Young, black or ethnic men who have no respect for British values, the police, or white people in general, especially women.
“I have had the misfortune to meet many men within the prison system, like the suspected Beckenham attacker, Rakeem Thomas. Young black or ethnic men who have no respect for British values, the police, or white people in general, especially women. They do not fear arrest or prison. While in prison, many continue their criminal activities by selling smuggled drugs, particularly spice.
These men pose a threat to our society, and in London, Mayor Sadiq Khan, a weak and ineffectual man, allows them to wreak havoc, destroying lives and terrorising communities. In 2018, he wanted to reduce stop and search measures. David Lammy often criticises this approach as disproportionately targeting black people, despite higher rates of violent crime committed by Afro-Caribbean and other ethnic groups in London.
Rakeem Thomas pulled a Rambo-style knife on a ticket inspector in December last year, was sentenced to 6 months, and was back on the streets only 12 weeks later. Did he learn? Did the system work for him? Was probation effective in monitoring and protecting those around him? No, shortly after his release, he is arrested for allegedly trying to kill someone. What did they do, ask him the time or look at him in the wrong way?
There are hundreds like him are in prison, awaiting release to resume their destructive behaviour.
Hundreds more free and prowling our streets. Labour proposes leniency for such individuals, avoiding even basic searches. Having lived amongst these people, I can tell you that they are vile, ruthless and dangerous individuals. They are beyond rehabilitation and should be locked up for life. Yet, under Labour’s policies, they seem to be heading, unchecked and protected, to a town near you.

“Iain Duncan Smith says if we vote for Reform, it’s like giving Labour a big win. I like IDS, but he’s telling us something we already know.
The truth is, the Conservatives have left us no choice. They didn’t fight for us or Brexit. They barely got us through COVID in one piece and just gave up on everything we fought for. They should have replaced Sunak with someone who’d really battle for our country. Now, we’re stuck.
If we vote for Reform, it helps Labour destroy Brexit and the country. But staying with the Tories feels like they’ve already given up, and with the rabble we have running it now, we won’t see the UK we all want anyway.
This country is falling apart, the streets are like the wild west, and it’s open season for illegals to come here and bleed the country dry and commit the most horrific crimes.
We know that under Labour, this is just going to get worse; they will pander to them and welcome them with open arms. You may as well burn every Union Jack because the country will be finished. Starmer may be the leader but the hard Left are waiting in the wings, ready to take over.
So, what do we do? It’s a horrible feeling, an unbelievable nightmare that seems absurd given the majority that Boris won. Yes, a vote for Reform is a vote for hope and what we believe in, but it’s giving us Labour.
They cannot win, the Tories, in the state they are in, cannot win. WE cannot win, whatever we do. We will be stuck with a huge majority Labour government for 10-15 years, the UK won’t survive the absurd wokery, anti Britishness and open arms to the masses.
What kind of hell are we subjecting our children and grandchildren to? The simple matter is the Tories have let us down, and now it seems like our Brexit dreams are just slipping away because they didn’t stand strong when it mattered.
There’s still time; there could be a plot twist coming just around the corner, but it will need the true right of the Conservatives to look themselves in the mirror and remember the people of the United Kingdom, who and what we are, what we fought for, and what we expected of them. It will need a handful of actual patriots to stand tall and reunite the whole right of UK politics before it’s too late. If that doesn’t happen, then Brexit and all the freedoms and hope we fought for are dead, regardless of who we vote for. How did they let this happen to our once beautiful country?“
Well, I agree with much of that. Not all. For one thing, Dunce Duncan Smith should be put on trial and receive the just measure of his deeds. Also, Starmer is just a puppet of the Israel lobby; at best useless, at worst a soon-to-be “elected” tyrant.

I doubt that most of that relates to the Gaza slaughter as such; probably more to do with the high Israeli (Jewish) losses in the field, and the fact that much of the world now thoroughly despises Israel and its population. That, and the fact that, after nearly six months, the Israelis have still not achieved anything that looks like “victory”, despite their overwhelming firepower, their devastation of urban and residential areas, and the death toll visited upon tens of thousands of Gazan civilians.

We did everything to ensure that there were no options for a sudden enemy entry,” said Ground Forces Commander Alexander Pavlyuk.“
If Kiev becomes a bastion, almost impenetrable, the advancing Russian forces may either bypass the region, or simply reduce Kiev by means of air power.
Whatever the outcome of that, it seems clear that the Kiev-regime forces are expecting a large-scale Russian advance in 2024-2025, an advance which they have, and will have, no means of countering.

I am that age, consume almost no mainstream media and have no interest in supporting foreign wars. Learned my shameful lesson with Iraq. I try to encourage everyone to use X. Even MY mother (in her eighties) gave up on Fox over its coverage.
There is a definite gulf between the older and younger generations (without defining the exact age boundaries too precisely). The older someone is, the more likely that that person will both watch and trust the TV news (in the UK, BBC, ITV, Sky, in that order), and will also take seriously the print newspapers, either in their original form or in their online offshoots.
I doubt whether anyone under 30, perhaps anyone under 40, actually buys print newspapers any more. I am 67, and have not bought a real newspaper for at least 20 years. Looking in the local Waitrose, I notice that the only people buying newspapers are those in their eighties, at a guess.
There's no money to invest. The US Govt is broke. No surplus in decades. $34 trillion in debt. $214 trillion in unfunded liabilities (without surplus that's debt). You run a bankrupt nation surviving with money printing. For that reason the world stops trading in USD. It's over.
“Almost unnoticed amid the drama and crisis that hit Latin America every week, in the last days of February the Cuban government asked the United Nations for aid to address a growing food shortage.
The unprecedented cry for help from a communist regime that has always prided itself on its social welfare model captures Cuba’s dire economic straits. Hurt by tightened US restrictions, decaying domestic production, a weak post-Covid tourism industry and indifference from its allies, the island is living through its worst economic days since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago. A string of blackouts brought people into the streets last weekend, shouting for “food and power” — a rare display of social unrest since the turmoil that shook the island in July 2021, which the regime contained with crushing force.
Once you get past the finger-pointing, what we’re witnessing is the collapse of Cuba’s socialist regime. This transition could take decades. Or it could happen in much the same way as that great Cuba aficionado Ernest Hemingway once wrote of bankruptcy: “Gradually, then suddenly.”
[Bloomberg]
While I would not regard myself as “expert” on Cuba, I think that I probably know a bit more than the Average Joe. I once passed an exam in Cuban History 1940-1970, and have read the main histories, albeit long long ago (early 1980s).

“Three out of the four Tory MPs seen as the most likely replacements for Rishi Sunak would fare even worse than the current prime minister in a general election battle against Keir Starmer, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.
The Conservatives have been involved in a fresh bout of leadership speculation over the past week, after rumours surfaced of a plot to dump Sunak and replace him with Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House, before the next election.
But Opinium found that of the four most likely replacements for Sunak, were there to be a contest – Mordaunt, James Cleverly, the home secretary, Suella Braverman, the former home secretary, and Kemi Badenoch, the business and trade secretary – only Mordaunt would have any positive effect at all on the Tory vote.
And even then, the “Mordaunt bounce” would only be marginal and still end in a large defeat.”
[The Guardian]
The Guardian scribbler either cannot see or —probably— prefers not to see the main reason why voters polled prefer Penny Mordaunt to the other three— she is the only European (white) of the quartet.
This is to what the Conservative Party is now reduced. Out of three potential party leaders, only one, Penny Mordaunt, is even English (Cleverly has an English father).
The Great Replacement. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
That Opinium poll puts the Cons on 25%, Lab 41%, Reform UK 11%, LibDems 10%, Greens 8%.
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would leave the Conservative Party with 124 MPs (Lab 437, LibDems 47, Greens 2, Reform UK 0); a bad defeat, but less of a complete collapse than shown in other recent polls (one of which put the Cons on only 19%).
The fact is that, since the 1970s, the UK has changed out of all recognition, and in the next 50 years will probably be completely ruined, unless something really big happens. A million a year coming in, and only about 200,000 a year leaving (but mostly English/British people emigrating to Australasia etc). Even in terms of sheer numbers, and “net”, 700,000+ every single year…unsustainable. UK society is already near breaking point.

— 🏴English Rebel – Kingdom of England (@TheEnglishRebel) March 24, 2024
“Will the triple lock [on pensions] be in the Tory manifesto this time around?” asks #BBCLauraK
For the Conservative Party, it is now not about trying to “win” GE 2024, but trying to mitigate losses— damage control.
Apart from the wealthy/very wealthy, the core Conservative Party vote is composed of persons over the age of 65. About 20% in toto. Recently, that core vote has been showing signs of erosion. Hence Jeremy Hunt’s triple lock pledge.
If the core vote stays quite firm, and the Conservative Party gets about 25% in the upcoming General Election, Con Party might expect to be left with maybe 100 MPs, possibly more if Labour dips below 45%.
If, on the other hand, the Cons only get 20%, their MP-cadre might only be 40. The first scenario is very bad for them but the second, disastrous.
Should the Con vote overall fall to 15% (admittedly unlikely), the number of Con MPs would fall below 15, effectively a wipe-out.
So that is Hunt’s idea. Keep the pensioners on board, and so end up in 2025 with 100+ MPs instead of 50 or fewer.
Anneliese Dodds, the uninspiring Labour Shadow Chancellor, has responded sluggishly to Hunt’s foray, and will not commit to the triple lock. Result— not a knockout, but a win on points anyway for Hunt and the Cons.
In reality, Hunt’s pledge was an easy and cheap one to make. He knows that there is a 99% (?) chance of the Conservative Party not forming the next government; he will never have to implement his “pledge”.
That being so, the pledge is worthless, and any thinking pensioner voter will (?) understand that it changes nothing, and the pensioner vote changes nothing, in terms of formation of the next government.
On the premises, that may mean that the “pledge” will not be fully effective in influencing intended voting. Still, it may have some effect.
I should add that, though I myself do now receive a State Pension, it is only about half of the maximum, by reason of my many years overseas. The pledge by Hunt therefore impacts me far less than it does others.

This is outrageous & makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine. These restrictions must be lifted.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia.
In 2016, Donald Trump said former US President Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton is the co-founder.
Tenuous. Many people, including famous political figures, move around the world all the time, “like billiard balls“, as a Russian peasant on a river steamer once remarked to Gorky about the “gentry” [see: Literary Portraits, by Gorky, 1935, trs. Ivy Litvinov].
I cannot see the Kiev regime being behind this, except as the most dangerous game move (provoking Putin into doing something so harsh that it might then bring NATO into the Ukraine war directly). Surely even the Kiev regime would not do something so crazy?
How Russia will escalate has become more important than if Ukraine was actually behind this, which we may never know. https://t.co/wGLPm4GEkV

The MP who tweeted or retweeted that BBC report did not address the fact that the pro-Israel bloc in the UK and other states, the core of which is the Jewish Zionist population in each state, seems to be fairly solidly behind the Israeli military and air attack “operation” in Gaza.

In relation to no.4 above, it is unfortunate that the learned district judge at my free speech trial (in November 2023) seemed unaware of or (much more likely) not in agreement with, the point(s) made (which have been made many many times previously).
In fact, and in any case, “antisemitism”, as such, is not illegal in this country; neither is so-called “holocaust” “denial”. That much has been made clear in numerous court cases though, as far as I am aware, not yet at appeal level in the higher courts (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of the UK).
Actually, the trial judge was fair in his actual conduct of the trial, overall, but Britain these days has come under a kind of low cloud of repression in respect of —shall we say?— “them“…
I feel that a few issues were slightly fudged in the delivered judgment of the learned District Judge at my trial. It is long since I was a barrister in court (2007) but I feel that there was at least one good appeal point in that judgment.
However, I am disinclined to appeal, and then have to go through, at the Crown Court, what would amount to a retrial, rehashing all the nonsense of the “CAA” and CPS already heard, particularly as the sentence eventually handed down by the sentencing judge was relatively light; and also in view of the fact that the sentencing District Judge refused the Prosecution application for a Criminal Behaviour Order to restrict (though not much, really, the Order and Application having been so poorly-drafted) my publication of the blog.
Incidentally, my trial was at the end of last November, so only a week short of 4 months ago. Tempus fugit. Even my sentencing hearing was 9 days ago, but I have already done one day out of the ordered 15 “probation” days (nominally a day, in terms of the sentence format, but actually about an hour in real time).
The blog continues. The blog will continue. Inshallah, as the Arabs say.

2015: Jeremy Corbyn elected Labour leader. 2016: 172 Right Wing Labour MPs stage coup to get rid of him. 2016: same MPs back Owen Smith leadership bid. 2017 12.8 million vote for Corbyn in GE. 2024: these same RW MPs, including Starmer, running the Labour Party. #DontVoteLabourpic.twitter.com/E5EOHICI5o
“Right Wing Labour MPs“, says he, meaning “members of Labour Friends of Israel“: at least three out of the ten Jewish (some of the rest possibly part- or “crypto”). Several of that group of ten wealthy or very wealthy; the rest freeloading, and/or fraudulent, leeches and snakes.
The Starmer led Labour Party in many ways are worse then the Tories, they are using Labour’s history of being a voice for the working class to further the agenda of the elites.
It is now not impossible that, at the upcoming 2024 General Election, the Reform UK party, despite its flaws (from my ideological direction) will run about level with the Con Party; somewhere around 15%-20%. If so, and if Labour can get about 45%, the Con Party might be left with about 25-50 MPs (Labour 500-525; LibDems 25-50; Reform UK 0-5; Green 1-2; SNP 15-30; Plaid Cymru 2-3; others, about 18).
If the Conservative Party declines to somewhere below 50 MPs, it is an open question (bearing in mind the age of its core voters) as to whether it can survive at all in the medium term (2030-2050).
While I agree with Nick Griffin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin] that there is, for social-national people, “no Parliamentary road” in a totally rigged game, it is not impossible for a political party as yet not in existence to play at least some role in a general social-national upsurge. “All roads lead to Rome“, as they say.

Emily Thornberry is a freeloading pro-Israel hog, riding high on her portfolio of rented-out houses and the monies she has taken from public funds. A parasite.
[Emily Thornberry at a Zionist dinner in London, with the former Israeli ambassador, Mark Regev (at centre)]
Emily Thornberry only became a supposed “socialist” because her affluent father abandoned her and her mother, they thereafter living in relative poverty, in a council house in Guildford, Surrey.
All Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet are complete tools of the Israel lobby. Agents of influence, really.
When I still had a Twitter account (until mid-2018), Owen Jones tweeted to Israel-lobby creature John Woodcock (the depressive sex pest MP later “ennobled” by “Boris” Johnson as “Lord Walney”) that Woodcock should block me on Twitter. He did.
As most readers will be aware, I was recently sentenced for breach of the notorious police-state Communications Act 2003, s.127. My sentence was to complete, between now and the end of the year, 15 (notional) days or part-days similar to the old-style “probation”; mostly quite short meetings with the Probation Service.
I also have to pay a notional sum re. costs of my trial in the magistrates’ court, assessed at £734. My crowdfunder, first published several days ago, has reached £195, leaving another £539 to be raised to meet that main target, or another £805 to meet my full target.
If you can afford to donate (minimum amount is only £4), then your donation will be accepted with gratitude; if not, then I should be grateful to anyone copy/pasting, anywhere, the link to the appeal: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J
As to the blog itself, it will continue to be published daily, or near-daily.
The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal and Crown (“Clown”?) Prosecution Service (which the “CAA” —typically—badgered for 7+ years to prosecute me) completely failed to persuade the sentencing judge to curtail publication of, or censor the content of, the blog.
I myself, however, have decided to make the blog gradually more focussed on analysis, and less on comment, as well as making it more diplomatic, but without compromise on ideology or principle.
The “CAA” is evidently embarrassed by the ultimate result. Their endless whining and demanding may have led to me being charged and —after a year— convicted , and to my having to waste much time defending myself, but the ultimate result, apart from the £734 in financial imposts (which may be largely covered by donations), is that I have to meet once every 1-3 weeks with the Probation Service for the rest of this year; 15 meetings in all; I have already attended one (short and not at all unpleasant).
The “CAA” crowed mightily on Twitter/X when I was convicted (November 2023), but since the sentencing hearing (14 March 2024), they have not tweeted once about me. Ha.

Crowdfunder
My crowdfunder rose overnight to £180, not bad in view of the fact that I cannot publicize it on social media (I having no such accounts), and also that it has only been running for 3-4 days.
The official Court notification arrived today. The total amount of “costs” and “surcharge” comes to slightly less than I thought— £714, so we have already raised a quarter of that sum, thanks to the four generous souls who have donated so far. Thank all of you.

“NATO is losing experienced soldiers due to the low attractiveness of military service Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict, NATO troops are faced with a personnel shortage.
This is not so much about recruiting new recruits, but about retaining soldiers and officers who are already in service, writes Politico. European countries that rely on professional militaries are trying to make their armed forces more attractive. But this is difficult to achieve in times of low unemployment, fierce competition from the private sector and widespread use of remote work, the publication explains.
A recent report presented in the German parliament showed that 1,537 soldiers left the Bundeswehr in 2023. In addition to increasing layoffs, the German army has to deal with dilapidated infrastructure, the repair of which could cost about €50 billion, Politico notes.
French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu admitted that the difficulty of “retaining” personnel exists in many allied countries. Paris and some other NATO members hope to stimulate the military with higher salaries and social guarantees, the article notes. Money does play a significant role in keeping people in the military. But the problem is that the conditions of service in NATO armies are not that attractive. After all, chronic overtime, the inability to get home for many months and a lack of days off are commonplace there, Politico emphasizes.“
If NATO were to stop interfering in Ukraine, the Middle East, and elsewhere, that shortage of personnel would not even be a problem. Meanwhile, almost all NATO states are suffering from non-European migration-invasion, and no amount of new or old soldiers will stop that, because the NWO-ZOG political leadership is encouraging mass immigration into the European space.

More than 10 million people are missing. According to my estimates, losses should be in the millions, not hundreds of thousands. The country has no resources, no one to fight. Ukrainians are losing this war,” said Raimund Andrzejczak in an interview with Polsat News.“
As I have been saying for a long time…
2024 may see a general advance by Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine. It is an open question whether the Stavka and Putin will await the 2024 UK and US elections. If there is any pause (which I doubt), 2025 will surely bring victory over the Kiev regime.

That underwhelming career somehow morphed into her “advising” some of the leading figures in the Labour Party 2007-2015. How? Why?
By 2016, Ayesha Hazarika had picked up an MBE, been proposed but not confirmed for nomination for a peerage, was somehow inescapable on msm TV and radio politics shows for several years and, after having been vocally anti-Corbyn, was nominated for a peerage by Israel-puppet Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, finally being elevated to the (now surely totally devalued) House of Lords in 2024, at the age of 48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayesha_Hazarika,_Baroness_Hazarika
As can be seen, the common thread through that career, certainly after 2007, seems to have been the “usual” lobby…
That is the kind of individual now making law in the UK.
I have seen Ayesha Hazarika a number of times on TV, though quite a few years ago. I never heard her say anything of interest, as far as I can recall.

“Police officers in Scotland are being given training to target social media posts, including re-tweets, of material deemed “threatening and abusive.”
Under the county’s new hate crime law, actors and comedians are not given a free pass to make jokes about sensitive subjects that offend people, either. The new training provided to officers, which was leaked to The Herald, requires police officers to go after anyone who produces material deemed “threatening and abusive,” which can also be communicated through “public performance of a play.”
Under the new hate crime law, people who make fun of or misgender trans people, make racial jokes or criticisms of certain religions, or criticize migrants can be prosecuted.
“The different ways in which a person may communicate material to another person are by: displaying, publishing or distributing the material, for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc., either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”
The hate crime law goes on to state that “giving, sending, showing, or playing the material to another person” listing examples such as “through online streaming, by email, playing a video, through public performance of a play.” So repeat a joke you heard online, or show someone a spicy meme or commentary of a transgender person or mass migration on your livestream, and, and you too will be arrested. Source: The Herald.”

Quite. Look at that piece earlier on today’s blog about Ayesha Hazarika. Never elected to anything, not even as a local councillor, yet now she sits in the House of Lords, posing as a “baroness”, and will be legislating as of now. No doubt when Labour’s “elected” dictatorship happens (later this year), she will be appointed to some role or other, perhaps even to a ministerial position. “Democracy”?

“HMRC has sparked fury by announcing it will permanently close tax helplines for six months and let 100 customer service staff work a three-day week over the summer.
Taxpayers will not be able to call the tax office for help with their returns from April 8 until September 30, HM Revenue and Custom has today announced.
The move comes just weeks after the Commons Public Accounts Committee of MPs condemned HMRC’s customer service for hitting an ‘all-time low’.
New figures showed how almost 1million calls went unanswered in January – typically the busiest month of the year for the service, with taxpayers rushing to file for self-assessment tax returns without triggering fines for lateness.”
Jesus H. Christ…does anything work properly in this country any more?!
Having said that, when I had (historical) tax problems and had to engage with the Revenue, well over a decade ago, especially in 2010-2011, I was quite frankly amazed to see how utterly shambolic the HMRC “service” actually was. It’s an overused term, but it was “Kafka-esque” to a degree I would not have believed had I not experienced it myself.
So now it is actually worse? Hard to believe. The one comfort I have from that very stressful period many years ago is that, soon after I got off the hook, and during the Cameron-Levita/Osborne “austerity” programme, most if not all of the HMRC staff that had harassed and annoyed me, and created problems for me, lost their jobs. Suck on that…
Still, all’s well that ends well…my income is now so low that the shambles of administration in that “service” need not concern me. My problems with “the taxman” were settled to my satisfaction in 2012.

IF enough of the public had backed these men they wouldn't be in jail. The problem is when we act we need to do so in our thousands.
“Eight men have been sentenced over their involvement in violent disorder after trouble flared at a hotel housing asylum seekers. The court had heard there was “ill feeling” in the area following a video on social media which appeared to show an asylum seeker asking a 15-year-old girl for her phone number and for a kiss. Violence broke out outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, Merseyside, last year which was providing temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
Brian McPadden, 61, of Kirkby, was jailed for three years and six months at Liverpool Crown Court.
There were gasps from the public gallery as he was jailed. Thomas Mills, 47, who brought a banner to the protest urging people to shout to get the asylum seekers out, was sentenced to two years and eight months.
Paul Lafferty, 42, was handed the same sentence while Jonjo O’Donoghue, 21, of Liverpool, was sentenced to three years and six months in a young offenders institution. Former British Army soldier Liam Jones was sentenced to 27 months while John Tippler, 59, was jailed for two years.
Warren Cullen, who was on a community order at the time of the protest, was jailed for 20 months. The judge gave Harry Boynton a 16-month suspended sentence along with 200 hours of unpaid work.“

The gentle movement of your day.”
