A complete lunatic, in my opinion. I should add that, until recently, I had never heard of her. She seems to be the absolute personification of the obsessed “family law” practitioner— thankfully, a type only encountered by me personally rather rarely; I did not in general practise “family law”, though I did do a handful of “ancillary support” (financial) matters in the early 1990s, and one (I think only one) large-scale child custody matter, all of which, by Grace of God, ended successfully for me.

Again, my above view is only my opinion as a —wrongfully and unlawfully— disbarred ex-barrister…

The Bar as a whole seems to bend over backward to accommodate certain types: see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

The Bar is now living off its hump, as I have blogged in the past. Same as the BBC, SIS, the armed services, the Monarchy, the police etc. The facade is there, but the content is either absent or rotten.

I presume that that last question is purely rhetorical.

Another of the fruits of “diversity”…

As far as I have seen on Twitter, the Israel-supporting Jews in the UK mostly offer weaselling excuses for why the Israeli war machine “has to” attack these children along with the Hamas fighters. Some even applaud the slaughter openly.

From what I have read in the newspapers, Hamas operatives are about 4% of the population of Gaza, whereas under-18 non-combatants are about 50%. Actual children and babies are probably about 25% of the population.

Israel is either completely callous towards the suffering and death meted out to the children of Gaza, or is, in the typically crude Israeli phrase, “mowing the lawn“, i.e. killing as many Gazan children as possible, every few years, so that they do not grow up to fight Israel.

This is exactly the situation. “Entitled” Jew-Zionists in the UK pretending to be “in fear”, and making themselves out to be “victims”, when they are (many of them anyway) cheerleading the murderous assault on the civilians of Gaza and elsewhere.

Jew-Zionists in the UK are, in the contemporary term, merely “cosplaying” being victims. I even saw tweets today about how “scared” some pretend to be because they saw a photo on Twitter/X showing a small and crudely-drawn (or cut) reverse Swastika on an Underground train seat, obviously drawn by some vandal, probably a child or teenager.

We may never know the full truth.

Russia is already in a strategically-winning position.

2024 may see a general Russian advance through Eastern Ukraine, perhaps to, or close to, Kiev itself.

Do they mean it, or is it just more hypocritical weaselling? Hard to say, when the US political system and legal world is so Jew/Zionist-permeated.

When Turkey speaks, Europe has to listen.

An Israeli army attack in the Beit Lahia area in the northern Gaza Strip was repulsed by intense mortar, anti-tank and rocket fire. Following the kamikaze UAV attack, Hamas troops following Israeli soldiers through the tunnels scattered the Israeli army in the region and forced it to retreat north again.”

The Jew-Zionist cheerleaders in the UK and USA must love to see such wanton destruction. In fact, we can see that they do, from their social media posts. A few add some weaselling words, and a few others add some nonsense about how they are so “afraid” of “antisemitism” in the UK that they may move (but never do) to…Israel.

Tragic. Europe, including the UK, should be joining with Russia to form a new white-magic “Christendom” for the 21st Century and for future centuries— contra Islamism, contra Jew-Zionism, contra Americanism, contra Chinese expansionism. A Grail-Christic autarky.

I have to admit that that clip amused me a little, but Laurence Fox is really wrongheaded in his support for Israel’s Gaza “holocaust” and for worldwide Jew-Zionism, though I support his view on the statues of our great past Empire.

Politically, Laurence Fox and Reclaim Party are a waste of space, and quite obviously will get nowhere at the General Election of 2024.

As for the Richard Tice/Nigel Farage latest “controlled opposition” party, Reform UK, the same. The only real difference is that Reform UK is better organized and seems to have at least (?) 3%, maybe 5% of the voters willing to back it. It might even get to 10% in some seats, as a protest vote. Still just a waste of space and a waste of time, of course.

Only a real and tightly-run social-national party can change the way things are going in this country.

Stray comment

I just noticed that a certain tweeter (nameless for now) and who tweeted about me unpleasantly for years, seems to have (some time ago, I think in 2022) gone “up the chimney”. Not the first, and not the last. Several are going that way right now, if I read things aright. Nothing to do with me personally, though, in terms of physical causation.

As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.

If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.

As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby. She has no idea of much, either politically or, I think, legally. A silly woman who is trying to position herself to be the leader of whatever small group of Conservative Party MPs is left after 2024.

The only “shuffle” that might have at least a slight effect would be to replace Sunak by someone recognisably English and at least superficially credible. The same with the Cabinet as a whole. At present, the song might be “where have all the English gone?

Ha ha! No comment, I think, except to say that the word you want is “effect“, not “affect” (but I should not want to be regarded as a “grammar nazi”…).

On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.

Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

I read somewhere or other that, of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and then survive both the impact and the waters (about 2%), most recall having a moment when they wished not to have jumped, and/or prayed for a miracle.

Knowing almost no Arabic, I have no idea what he is saying; maybe praising the build-quality of the tunnel.

As I blogged before, the old Soviet KGB had great expertise in digging tunnels. The one shown above looks well-constructed, lined etc. No idea as to depth, though. Presumably very deep.

It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).

There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.

Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?

As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).

My very popular assessment of Therese Coffey from 4 years ago (updated): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/16/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-therese-coffey-story/.

…and in, say, 20 years’ time, when the children in Gaza suffering now are 25-35 years old, what do you imagine will be their feeling about Israel and Israelis? Israel may not —now— much care, but if the results are incursions and massacres on 10x the scale of that recently seen, it will have no choice but to care…

Diary Blog, 21 June 2023, with some thoughts about “narcissism”, “Jack Monroe”, and a personal memory

Morning music

“Jack Monroe”, “narcissism”, and narcissists

I had missed that. It seems that there is now a template for suing “Jack Monroe” in the County Court. I wonder whether many people will be doing that.

Still no explanation from BBC Question Time as to why “Jack Monroe” was invited onto the show not long ago, thus facilitating more of her fraudulent activities. She was exposed years ago as a continual liar, and increasingly, certainly since mid-2022, as an outright fraud.

I myself have been surprised, over the past year, as to how outrageous the “Jack Monroe “grift”/fraud is and has been.

Thinking about the “Jack Monroe” fraud and/or “grift” reminded me of a similarly untruthful character I encountered 30 years ago.

When I returned from the USA in 1993, and started to try to make a living at the Bar (based in exceptionally-poor chambers in London), I did both civil and criminal cases, though I was never much at home in the criminal courts.

At that time (maybe still today, I do not know), solicitors employed unqualified stray persons as “outdoor clerks”, who would attend court hearings on behalf of the instructing solicitors, and in support of Counsel appearing. They had no rights of audience but were more or less messengers and “spear-carriers”.

Such “outdoor clerks” were people most of whom had no legal training at all: out-of-work actors, retired people in need of a financial top-up, all sorts. The advantage in employing them, for solicitors, was the low cost. I seem to recall that a recently-retired lady I knew got £10 or so (maybe £40 or £50 in today’s money) to attend. Most of the hearings were brief, and even with the waiting around etc, the “outdoor clerk” was usually free by lunchtime if not before. Any more-serious hearings, including trials weightier than minor traffic matters, would usually be attended by an articled clerk (trainee solicitor) or a solicitor in person.

One fine day, I was sent to appear in the magistrates’ court somewhere, and was met at court by an outdoor clerk, a rather swarthy mustachioed person, maybe late thirties, who looked more like what the police might term a “villain” than any kind of quasi-legal representative. As soon as he had introduced himself, a furious man accosted him and said “I need a word with you!“, upon which the pair adjourned to a nearby room where I could see them arguing.

The outdoor clerk, one Mitch Baird, then re-emerged, explaining that the furious man was a solicitor with mental health problems. I accepted that explanation by default. I was thinking more about the case in hand, the first appearance of a defendant in an indictable case.

After that, I was instructed on other matters (civil as well as criminal) by the same firm of solicitors, headed by a Jew called “Maxwell”, so encountered Mitch Baird fairly frequently. I met his West Indian girlfriend, with whom he lived (when around). A pleasant woman. I also met her mother. Their house (belonging to the mother) was a large detached Victorian house in the Stamford Hill area of London better known for its population of Hasidic Jews. I even attended a kind of garden party there, well-attended by an eclectic mix, including at least one Metropolitan Police detective (I would never have guessed his occupation).

That all-day barbeque/garden party, which I helped Baird to set up, was also notable for the amount of booze consumed: Baird and I alone drank (I think) 12 (it may have been “only” 8, but even so…) bottles of Bulgarian red wine between us (it seems impossible to me now…), before, late in the evening, heading to Le Caribe, “London’s only silver-service Caribbean restaurant” (now long-closed), a mile or so away, for a couple of imported (Trinidadian) Carib beers at the bar, overlooking a scene of gold-festooned Yardie types dining nearby. Baird then drove me home to Little Venice and dropped me off there. God knows what his alcohol reading would have been, had he been stopped.

Well, suffice to say that the said Baird was not to be trusted. Reports and complaints gradually emerged. For example, he had, apparently, actually taken money in cash from the family of a young Trinidadian visitor for legal defence, when the latter was supposedly legally aided! I had appeared for the defendant, managed to get the charge dropped as well (possession of an offensive weapon), but was never paid (Baird had obviously not put in the requisite legal aid papers).

In a civil case involving defamation, Baird had (in my own chambers, after a conference), got the lay client to make out a cheque for £2,000 to Baird himself. I was myself totally unaware of those facts at the time.

When the lay client discovered that my written advice was that the case was unlikely to succeed, he complained to my clerk that he had been cheated by both the Jew solicitor, “Maxwell”, and by Baird (I was cleared by the client of dishonesty but described in his letter as having not understood what a good case he had! His letter had gone to the Law Society (the solicitors’ body), I think, with the names of all concerned, such as MILLARD, in capital letters, as in the files of the Security Service. That detail has always stuck in my memory.

The lay client had demanded that my clerk, or I myself, somehow get back his money.

Though I was myself blameless (as was my almost useless clerk of the time), I could see the situation snowballing. My clerk had discovered that the £2,000 cheque (worth at least £6,000 today) had been paid into a bank account controlled by Baird’s girlfriend, Baird having himself been blackballed by all banks. I therefore pressured the girlfriend on the telephone, telling her (truthfully) that she could go to prison if the money was not handed back.

I am not a natural bully, but needs must, and after a great deal of bitter tears, the girlfriend did agree to give the money to my clerk, who returned it to the lay client.

I believe that Baird split up later with that woman. No loss (to her). She was probably unaware that she was but one string to his bow. In fact, a very nice St. Lucian bar owner woman had told me that various West Indian women were always telephoning the bar for Baird, leaving messages etc.

Baird then had the cheek to telephone me at chambers and threaten to “give you a good hiding”, as he put it, if I refused to give him, via my clerk, the £2,000. I invoked the name of the Metropolitan Police, then put the telephone down. I never heard from Baird again.

In the interim, though, I happened to meet, at court, that furious man described at the beginning of this story. It turned out that, far from being the lunatic described by Baird, he was a most reasonable fellow, a solicitor who had employed Baird in the recent past as outdoor clerk, and who had discovered that Baird was stealing money, tricking clients out of cash, demanding cash even when the defendant was legally-aided etc.

That solicitor also gave me some background. It seemed that Baird’s parents were mestizos from one of the main Caribbean islands (I forget which), and that his father was a pillar of the community (I think a surgeon). Baird was white-ish but his half-brother not. Baird himself had apparently been a shocking disappointment and source of shame to his parents, by reason of his various behaviours in the Caribbean.

That solicitor had told me how it had taken him a long time to untangle the skein of fraud, theft, and lack of any responsibility, of Baird. The Law Society had been on the solicitor’s neck, I think.

I was contacted not long afterward by that half-brother of Baird, who begged me to meet him and his Polish girlfriend to discuss the matter. Turned out that he worked in a senior (he said) or middle-management (my guess) role at Citibank. He was afraid of scandal tarnishing him, especially the fraudulent aspects of his half-brother’s behaviour.

I met the couple at Ronnie Scott’s, the famous Soho jazz club, which I had not visited previously, and which I found quite interesting. The “Citibank” Baird and Polish girlfriend (a blonde dentist), who seemed to have some kind of VIP membership (we were able to jump the queue to get in) were not unpleasant, and we discussed the problem amicably enough before parting.

What struck me at the time is how the fraudulent Baird had managed to get away with many things because most people, most of the time, believe most of what is told to them, especially when they are introduced (by others, or via mass media “validation”) to the fraudulent individual in such a way as to lull suspicion.

It takes time to wake up to the lies of a hard-core narcissist.

Here we come to the similarity with “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”. She was introduced to the public by sort-of-trusted organizations and people. The Guardian. The Observer. TV shows. Nigella Lawson, the Jewish TV cook. Others.

That validation (which to some extent continues— incredibly, “Jack Monroe” was on BBC Question Time recently, long after her “grifting” and outright fraud was exposed) makes many tend not to question her bona fides.

Even now, you see on Twitter those unthinking people perfectly happy to accept that “Jack Monroe” crowdfunded to “sue Lee Anderson”, then did not sue Lee Anderson (a few of the mugs even think that she did sue— and won!), and then (as she claims) donated all those crowdfunded monies to an unnamed food bank, indeed to one which she refuses to name. Meanwhile she tries to pull the old “mental health”, “physical health”, and “fear of stalkers and trolls” stunts, which she has used many times previously when suspicions about her gather.

Some commentators think that I am wasting my time on “Jack Monroe” and her mug supporters. Probably, but it makes me angry to see vulnerable, well-meaning, often elderly and, not-infrequently seen, disabled and sick people being taken for mugs by that cheat and liar, who is just laughing at them, if only they were able to wake up and see it.

Where are the police? Still seizing “racist” teddy bears? Still snooping on Twitter or blog posts?

Finally, I have no idea what happened to the egregious Mitch Baird. Maybe the bastard died. Many of those who target me seem to live relatively short lives. Or maybe he just faded into terminal obscurity.

This is the kind of untermensch we have been importing into this country for years, indeed for decades. I am generally anti the death penalty, but a general social problem now exists, and it may be that some brick walls and firing squads may eventually be necessary to solve it. When exactly that day will come, I do not know, but I know that it will come, and will have to be faced.
