Corrupt, kleptocratic, brutal, shambolic, not really a state at all; that is Ukraine since 1991.

[“I’m being privately prosecuted by the ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’ under the Communications Act 2003. They say some of my posts on this platform (X) were ‘menacing’ against Jews and Zionists. I had my first hearing today and I’m currently on unconditional bail until a trial that has been given a provisional start date of 15th December. We must fight against this attempted censorship. But we need a strong legal team to do it, which unfortunately has significant costs. If you can support me, please donate here: https://fightingfund.org/stopthecaa.“]

Regular readers will know that I too have been persecuted by the malicious Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA” in recent years, indeed over the past decade and more.

They persisted, as “they” notoriously do, and finally managed to persuade a few dim police woodentops and, also, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS Wessex), to contrive a case against me. The CPS claimed to to have spent a huge amount of time looking at thousands of pages from this blog (an incredible though predictable waste of resources, of course).

Out of all that effort, the CPS, with police support, managed to cobble together an “information” (magistrates’ court case) consisting of a mere five allegedly “grossly offensive” blog posts. Five, out of somewhere around fifteen hundred at the time! Of course, only brief bits even from those five blog posts formed the basis of the case against me.

That was in early 2023.

In fact, even if the number were restricted to those blog posts published in the preceding 3 years (under the “long-stop” provisions of the notorious Blair-era “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127 as later amended by the government of Jewish-lobby puppet Theresa May), the pool of possibility would have been somewhere around 1,000 posts, yet the police, CPS, and malicious/cowardly “CAA” could only find five blog posts which contained any (supposedly) “grossly offensive” material. A few cartoons, a few remarks. Pitiful.

I should have been acquitted by the district judge (magistrate), and I think that he would have thrown out the case at “half-time” had he been able to find a technical legal reason to do so. It was touch and go on that, but in the end the case continued (one full day) and ended with my (absurd and wrongful) conviction on all counts, thus giving the “CAA”, the “fat lady” at CPS Wessex, and the underwhelming outside Counsel instructed by the CPS, all the chance to crow a great deal at my expense.

That was in November 2023.

Sentencing was held in March 2024. The net result was that I was sentenced to a “community order” of 15 “rehabilitation days” and a financial penalty amounting to £735. Well, I am pretty poor these days, but a third of the financial penalty was crowdfunded by a small number of generous donors (on GiveSendGo), and the rest paid off over several months.

As to the “community order”, the “15 days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings, ranging in duration from a few hours to about 20 minutes (most being 30-40 mins), with a rather pleasant and charming young lady in Southampton. I could have had the meetings transferred to an office only a mile from my home (New Forest area), but rather liked my “probation officer”, so decided not to change the meeting place.

In the end, as said, the “15 days” were reduced to 6 or 7 meetings, about one every two weeks, before the whole nonsense was abandoned in August/September 2024, about 4 or 5 months after the sentencing hearing.

Incidentally, the CPS, probably under pressure from the “CAA” Jews, made a doomed and very silly attempt to restrict me from publishing the blog. That crashed and burned, inevitably. The sentencing judge (the trial judge was not the one that sentenced me, the trial judge having been, in the interim, gazetted as a Circuit Judge) agreed with me, and dismissed the application of the CPS with scarcely-concealed contempt.

I should add that both judges/magistrates were as fair to me as they could have been in the circumstances (i.e. circumstances of political and bureaucratic pressure).

The blog continued to be published throughout. During the pre-trial period, during the trial, between trial and sentence, after sentencing, and right up to the present day. The “CAA” Jews were so shocked by what they described as the “leniency” of my sentence that it took them about two weeks to publish their predictable whining about it on their website.

And here we are. It has been nearly 2.5 years years since I was prosecuted, and well over a year since I was sentenced. Still, it may be that I remain on the CAA’s “little list” of people to be privately prosecuted (last time, the bastards got the dim/suborned police and CPS to prosecute me, so the public purse took the strain).

I doubt that the CPS will want to launch another silly and wrongheaded public prosecution, but we do not know “until the fat lady sings” at CPS Wessex. There has, so far, been no indication of a return match.

I am not quite on the same page, ideologically etc, as Professor/Dr. Miller, or that black comedian, Reginald D. Hunter, but wish them victory in the politically-motivated cases brought by the “CAA” Jew-Zionists.

Clear “abuse of process”— privately-prosecuted criminal cases brought by malicious Jew-Zionists acting in concert with Israeli state organizations, in particular the Embassy of Israel in London.

I have always opposed the death penalty as such (while accepting that it may at times be necessary to fire upon mobs, authorize executive action etc). My perhaps idealistic point of view was informed by Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment (the idea of repentance, and then reinvention of the self), as well as the fact that most murderers, after release from prison, do not re-offend (and few murder again). However, the migration invasion and consequent waves of violent crime (whether socio-political or not), mainly by non-Europeans, have made me confront the possibility that at least some murderers should be judicially eliminated.

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.

Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”

[Daily Mail]

Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.

Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

More Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/dozens-killed-in-gaza-waiting-for-food-trucks-says-health-ministry

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.

At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.

Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.

The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

[Guardian]

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.

As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.

I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.

So…Israeli Jews killing children and others from the air. Of course, the Jews say that noticing such facts about their behaviour constitutes a so-called “blood libel”

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?

Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.

What are swifts and why are they in trouble?

The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.

The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.

What are the prospects for swifts?

Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.

A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.

Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

Well, we shall soon know.

Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

(make that “40 years on…”)

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]

Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.

However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.

So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.

Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.

In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President. It also just goes to show that having a load of degrees and endorsements does not mean that someone is really educated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz#Foreign_affairs.

Just another Israel/Jewish lobby puppet, of course.

You can see that Ted Cruz is a useless waste of space by just looking at him, or listening to him for a minute or two.

Ah…

No comment necessary.

He says it with a straight face. Do “they” ever tell the truth?

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.

Stray thought

Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…

I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?

The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).

Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Iran is defending itself. Israel is the aggressor. Israel attacked without declaration of war and without any warning, and Israel drew first blood.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…

Talking point

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/westminster-must-fall

Dominic Cummings delivered a Pharos Lecture in Oxford this week on why western regimes are in crisis. Here is an edited transcript of his speech:

The old political parties, the old Whitehall institutions, the old media, the old universities, the old courts constitute a political regime. This regime has become cancerous. The cancer has metastasised and the cancer is attacking everything healthy in the country; all the healthy institutions and healthy impulses are the target of Whitehall.

If you imagine our ancestors who built our civilisation over generations, looking at a sample of recent years, what would they see? They’d see the regime fighting to maintain secrecy of the vast cover-up of industrialised mass rape of white English children by Pakistani and Somali gangs over decades, while Whitehall continues to import people from the exact same tribal areas responsible.

The system just rumbles on with its own priorities

In January, Number Ten Downing Street claimed that Elon Musk was spreading conspiracy theories about national cover-ups. This is wrong. I witnessed the attempts at these cover-ups myself when I was in working in Whitehall – including the deliberate attempt by government departments to use courts to block reporting of the entire story.”

[Spectator]

I agree with much of what Cummings says (in the whole published speech); not all.

It is clear that his overall view is correct. The System (System political parties, System civil servants, System legal drones, System mainstream media etc) is indeed now toxic, and is killing both European race and European culture, and not in the UK alone.

Incidentally, I wrote about Cummings himself a few times in the past:

Cummings makes a good argument overall, though.

Israel and its population, including its diasporic population, are out of control.

In fact, it seems that Israeli attacks on Iran have already begun.

Talking point

Of course, these days in the UK, people cannot be identified as Roma Gypsies; they must always be referred to as “Romanians”, which is both inaccurate and, also, insulting to real Romanians.

A similar pathology is seen in the reporting about the dreadful Air India crash a couple of days ago. We are told that, among the hundreds of dead in the crash, 53 were “British”. What that means, of course, is that 53 were Indians who had British passports. As the Guardian put it: “British man is sole survivor of Air India plane crash that left more than 260 dead. On Thursday night, Air India confirmed that 241 of those on board had been killed in the crash, with a Briton, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor.”

Another example of this distorting-mirror is when German soldiers, sailors, or airmen of WW2 are referred to, even in large contingents, as “Nazis” (National Socialists). Thus we might read (or hear on the BBC) that such and such number of “Nazi ships” were in a sea battle, or that “Nazi armies” did this or that.

In fact, 8M Germans belonged to the NSDAP in WW2, about a tenth of the population (in 1933, the number was “only” 2M): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#Membership.

Incidentally, you can see “the usual” (((the usual))) influence in that Wikipedia piece, with the article itself headed as “Nazi Party“, not “National Socialist Party” or “NSDAP”. As many readers will know, the term “Nazi” was coined by the disgraceful anti-Hitler scribbler Konrad Heiden (a half-Jew) as an insult, rather like “Stasi“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Heiden.

In the UK and elsewhere, truth is something “not wanted on voyage”. It embarrasses the liars of the msm and political milieu.

Israeli attack on Iran

[“Witkoff warns of deadly Iranian response to Israeli attack!! The American news portal Axios, citing one of the high-ranking US officials:

A White House envoy privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran could retaliate with heavy casualties.

Witkoff sounded the alarm about what might happen in the future, saying Iran’s response could destroy Israel’s defenses.

The US is concerned that Israel’s air defense system will not be able to cope with a massive Iranian response, including hundreds of missiles.

U.S. intelligence estimates that Iran has 2,000 ballistic missiles with warheads capable of carrying more than 2,000 pounds of explosives. Israel is within range of many of these missiles.

The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) is expected to visit Israel on Saturday for talks with senior political and military officials over Iran.“]

Toxic.

The bastard (Starmer-stein) spoke the truth for once…(only to retract it).

A straw in the wind

I happened to be somewhere not far from my home (coastal southern England) and passed two men talking. As I walked past, I caught a sentence or two of the conversation. One man (about 55, perhaps) was saying to the other that “it will not be long before civil war starts in this country“. Interesting…

Not a traditional type of civil war, at an educated guess. Not a typical “race war” or ethnic conflict either, but more of a multiform civil/racial/social/cultural war, and one with more than two sides; perhaps several, or even many, sides.

I shall be watching events with keen interest.

My own hope is, shall I say, rather different from that of the lady tweeter.

Who would have thought that there would be commercial flights from Rijeka (Croatia) to Tel Aviv in the first place? Rijeka has only about 51,000 inhabitants.

Quite, but Netanyahu’s arrogant sense of entitlement is so typical of “them” (((them)))…

We are Aryans by origin, not Semitic (of either type).

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil sprite. Even taking the money transfers at face value, what an incredible blow to the peoples of the EU states. The EU is in economic doldrums partly, perhaps largely, because of the monies wasted on the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev regime.

It seems that Arab states such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia are actually helping to defend the Jewish state of Israel. After the history of the past 70+ years! Others may disagree with me, but as far as I am concerned, I would never trust an Arab with anything.

When you pair that with the ever-increasing proportion of Muslims in the overall UK population, you do not have to be a strategic genius to perceive the danger.

I have always opposed the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby and bloc in the UK, but the fact remains that we face more than one enemy grouping.

A good point, on the face of it.

Alerts, yes, but how many major targets have been hit?

I imagine that they have parallel but secret command centres too.

Much of that is driven by hate-filled, malicious Jew-Zionists such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. They make malicious complaints to police, official/professional regulators, employers, and others.

The “diversity” continues…

Take a look at the online Crime pages of any newspaper, local or national, e.g. Evening Standard, My London, whatever. Make up your own mind…

Whether it happens today, next month, or in a decade’s time, Israel is doomed.

History moves on, and almost every historical and historic leader has both positive and negative aspects, as do most societies.

Kemi Badenoch

Saw a few minutes of an interview on Sky News with the truly ridiculous Nigerian woman now supposedly leading the Conservative Party. She came out with the ridiculous statement that Israel is fighting Hamas as a proxy war for Britain!

Of course, we knew that she is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, but she is a total puppet, even compared to Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel government. Like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

Apart from that, she seemed unwilling to answer the questions posed about Israel’s disgusting behaviour in Gaza. In fact, like many blacks, she seems to think that the more, and the more emphatically, and the louder, she talks, the more intelligent she seems. In a word…no.

If the Conservative Party retains this massive bad joke as “leader”, it will face electoral collapse.

All sensible proposals from a former Labour Party press officer.

Starmer-stein’s government of cretins will not, of course, do anything of the sort. They have committed to following the wrong path, the sadistic/punitive path previously taken by Alistair Darling, David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith etc.

That former Labour press officer is still mainly in the “two main parties” ping-pong mindset; he is not alone— many others also still think like that.

Still, he is correct in his basic thesis, as I see it— that governments exist to govern, and today that means not just sitting in the seat of power and “defending the realm” from invasion etc (something which, taking it in a wide sense, has anyway not been done for at least 20 years), but actually accomplishing things for the people, and making them feel, if not “happy”, then at least content.

Starmer-stein’s government was doomed pretty much from the start.

This is the young mum who found herself on a nightmare first date with a fitness instructor which ended in a police chase and a £250,000 pile-up that left seven police officers in hospital.

Mum of two Courtney Redfern, 27, was on her first date with Mayzar Azarbonyad, 20, when police tried to stop his powerful BMW M5 as he drove her home.

Despite Courtney’s protests, Iranian-born Azarbonyad put his foot down and led police on a terrifying high speed pursuit through Gateshead and onto the A1M towards Newcastle.”

Last month Azarbonyad appeared at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court where he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop twice and having no licence and no insurance during the crash.

The Iran-born defendant, who came to the UK in around 2020, also admitted a series of other driving offences, including driving without insurance or a licence on April 16th – a week after the collision.

That Torsten Bell idiot is so obviously a careerist and hypocrite. Frighteningly thick, too, for all the Oxford PPE degree etc, and with no real principles or ideals, or even ideas. Just a careerist drone. Sickening. This is neo-Blairism without even the fig-leaf of public good that Labour displayed 1997-2010.

I looked up the idiot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsten_Bell.

The Torsten Bell idiot reiterates the now-standard bs (first seen per Dunce Duncan Smith etc, during the 2010-2015 years of the Cameron-Levita “Conservative” government) about how cutting the income of those already poor or very poor somehow saves them from being “written off”! The sheer lying hypocrisy is stunning.

When I see lying hypocrites and System careerists such as Torsten Bell, I think “that is why you need concentration camps” (at very least).

I see from Wikipedia that that Bell individual is 42, 43 later this year; looks and sounds like a recent graduate, though he must have graduated 20 years ago. No weight, very very unconvincing, and also very plainly in it (politics) for his own benefit.

That little Torsten Bell blot seems oblivious to the fact that, in contrasting what the Starmer-stein “Labour”-label misgovernment is doing with what he calls the “Tory welfare system“, he is actually presenting even the cruel/callous policies of the Conservatives from 2010-2024 as having been better (less cruel and less callous) than those of Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, and Liz Kendall.

I thought that that tweet was worth reproducing in detail, especially since the lady who tweeted it later deleted it for some reason (possibly upset).

Voters of Runcorn and Helsby, send this evil “Labour”-label misgovernment a message by voting Reform at the upcoming by-election. No matter if you do not like Farage, or disagree with some Reform policies. The thing to do is to stick it to both Labour and the equally-misnamed Conservatives.

In an ideal world, I should like very bad things to happen to many System politicians but, in view of the fact that we live in a gradually-encroaching police state, I prefer to say no more, and to let the readers of the blog read between the lines.

Labour support declining even among formerly enthusiastic young people (I think it stood at about 80% at one point a couple of years ago); interestingly, Reform support has grown from just a few percent to 13% over the past couple of years.

Because Starmer-stein’s own attitude has transmitted itself to his Cabinet and thence to almost all Labour MPs…i.e. “we are the masters now“, but I remember how rattled and, in a word, scared, they all were when the so-called “riots” (protests) happened last summer. I think they were at least slightly wondering whether they would end up dangling from lamp-posts, as happened to the Communist secret policemen of the HVA after the eruption of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.

The arrogant and cruel attitude of the Starmer-stein government might and in fact would turn to grovelling supplication if a British uprising were to occur.

On the wider question, Basic Income is the only way forward.

If Reform can win the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the momentum created will weaken fake Labour even more, and all but finish off the increasingly less relevant “Conservative” Party.

They do this whilst also being justifiably proud of the magnificent art, literature & music of Chinese, Japanese and Indian civilisation. This is what the anti-British ideologues who dominate our own cultural institutions cannot – or will not – grasp. They cannot stand that an Englishman is the greatest writer the world has ever produced. It sticks in their craw and they will do anything to diminish and downplay that achievement.”

“Britain faces an existential crisis Every day we see our culture & history undermined and our population demoralised The British people are told they’ve nothing to be proud of & that Britain is the root of all evil We must fight back “AMERICA: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!” was a popular saying when I was young. Britons need to adopt a similar attitude now. Dominated by nihilistic, self-loathing ideologues, our cultural and academic institutions are responsible for much of the anti-British propaganda we encounter. We must remember that WE, British taxpayers, fund these quangos, museums, galleries, universities etc. The government doesn’t have any money. It spends OUR money. If publicly funded institutions create anti-British exhibitions, lecture us on the evils of our past, give us a guilt trip about slavery and the British Empire, denigrate our heroes, or simply demoralise our people, they should lose their funding. That’s the most effective way to retaliate. From Arts Council England to Tate Britain and the National Theatre, potentially hundreds of these bodies are eroding national self confidence. It’s a war of attrition and it cannot continue. My thoughts with @TVKev on @TalkTV.”

The Israelis are said to do the same.

According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.

Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.

Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

Untermensch.

Wall. Squad. End.

…because we do not have a truly British government; we have a Labour Friends of Israel NWO/ZOG/WEF “elected” dictatorship.

If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.

If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

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

“Our wonderful police”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Last night, Israel channel 11, the public broadcasting corporation (@kann_news) aired an alarming piece of investigative journalism. Extremist West Bank settlers, led by veteran lunatic Daniella Weiss, have raised millions, bought equipment and are creeping around the Gaza border, awaiting their chance to enter and start setting Gaza under the army’s wings and over the hostages’ bodies. The next phase of their plans is to drive out the Palestinians. They are a tiny minority in the Israeli public, but they have Smotrich and Ben Gvir in the cabinet. Also Netanyahu’s benevolent silence. This post, one of many, reads: “I watched the news story about the intention to settle in Gaza. This is outrageous on so many levels. The kibbutzim are still in ruins, the hostages are still dying in the tunnels, and the delusional settlers are already yearning to prey. Daniella Weiss raised 15 million in a donation campaign, they are preparing infrastructure, there are caravans ready for the signal. This madness must be stopped!

Looks as though the “neo-Nazis” and “anti-Semites” were right once again.

Until now, that was supposed to be yet another mere “conspiracy theory”…

The Israeli state and Jews from outside Israel, including the UK, are in effect copying what the Romans did after the defeat of original Carthage— destroying everything that existed prior to conquest, then resettling the area with others. In a word, genocide.

I have been blogging about this for years.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, even that is not the furthest extent of the crisis, in that even those mothers “born in the UK” are usually non-white now.

Trump, as President, now needs to stop supporting both the Jewish state (Israel) and the Jewish “state within a state” (the American Jewish lobby).

Until fairly recently, I thought (obviously naively) that fentanyl was merely a horse sedative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanyl

The Palestinians are a kind of orphaned people, thanks to the Jews who stole or robbed them of their land.

“...significant destruction”? I thought that the English were the masters of under-statement…

Interesting to see that the two ethnic/racial groups most pro-Trump are white people (i.e. of European racial heritage) and American Indians (aka Native Americans), the two groups which can now be fairly termed “indigenous”.

Not a new problem, though. I remember well when I returned from Rhodesia in 1977 and took a night job for a month, cleaning the floors at Gatwick Airport. All of the other temporary staff (about a dozen or so of them) were students from Sussex University near Brighton, all of them reading bs subjects such as Sociology. When they discovered that I had been in Rhodesia, the idiots all “sent me to Coventry”— would not speak to me at all, either doing the actual work (pushing large broom-type implements up and down the endless flooring) or in the refreshment area (I sat alone at a table with my machine-dispensed coffee).

Fortunately for those idiots, I have no idea of either their names or their whereabouts. If I did, I might feel that some belated justice might be due.

Sussex University, at least back then, had a problem with pseudo-radical students. I recall meeting some in 1975, while waiting in the very basic ferry passenger departure area at Vlissingen (southern Netherlands). At the time, there was a limited ferry service Vlissingen-Sheerness (Kent).

Later, though, around 1980, I was actually a guest of a student society at Sussex. They were very hospitable.

As for Gatwick Airport, I cannot use the South Terminal (the North Terminal did not exist in 1977) without thinking back to the days, or rather nights, when I cleaned those gleaming floors in the depths of darkness.

I am expecting the Stavka (Russian high command) to order a general advance westward and northward in 2025. If it happens and is successful, Zelensky and his regime will be rolled over.

I happened to see a news item on TV today about tiny children having to be fitted with prosthetic legs because the Israeli Jews have been bombing Gaza for over a year, killing or terribly injuring about 150,000 Gazans, mostly women and children.

As for those Israeli Jew football hooligans in Amsterdam, they thought themselves brave thugs when in a mass, shouting slogans, singing unpleasant songs, and attacking others; when they got it back, they started whining about how they are “victims”; Netanyahu even sent a plane to “rescue” them and take them back to their fake “homeland”. It is all too typical.

Ha ha! Hilarious, as are all such people and their (either) soon-to-be-“trumped” triumphalism and/or desperate and crazed outbursts once they realize that not only has their candidate lost, but also that they themselves have become worldwide laughing stocks.

It reminds me of the days, weeks, months after the Brexit Referendum in the UK, when you had hysterical women (almost all the funniest crazed tweets were from women) wailing about how the Brexit vote had “ruined their lives”, prevented them (somehow) from getting a 1970s Martini ad-style beautiful Euro-life, and how, in some cases, their offspring, teenage Josh and Jemima, would now (somehow) never be international lawyers and/or “top models”…

As I say, just hilarious.

A la recherche du temps perdu

I am old enough to remember those little shops. One in particular, in Caversham Heights, near Reading, early 1960s. The sweets were dispensed by the owner, I think an otherwise-retired old fellow, who sold them in small white-paper bags. A wide range, but I either bought small boiled sweets (very small balls of hard candy), or a kind of chewing gum that came with collectable cards depicting (and explaining) battles of the American Civil War of the 1860s. I wanted the cards, not the gum.

Very gory, those cards (as I discovered only when I belatedly read law, 20 years later) were the subject of a legal case (as to whether they counted as “obscene” because of their bloodsoaked content), which case went as high as the House of Lords (House of Lords Judicial Committee, the forerunner of the present UK Supreme Court). That was around 1965, only a couple of years after I used to buy the cards.

I remember that all my friends (who also bought the cards) favoured the Confederate side, but I (alone, I think) favoured the Union. Not sure now, over 60 years later, whether that was because the Union side was more efficient, or more advanced in weaponry, or just because I wanted to go contrary to the views of the mob.

The sweetshop in question was actually made out of the front part of an ordinary late-19thC house, which (I see from Google maps and streetview) has now reverted to being just a house again.

I also remember the little sweetshop because, aged about 7, I sheltered in that tiny shop after I (God knows why, now, but it would have been in self-defence) hit another boy, and then was sought out by the much older, and rather fearsome, brother of the same. In the end, the older boy caught me outside but, after I explained that I had hit his brother in self-defence, he was very reasonable, and let me off. Maybe I had dormant barristerial skills even then (or at least the ability to get out of scrapes)…
