Afternoon music

[Wanda Landowska, celebrated harpsichordist, with Tolstoy, either at his Kropotkinskaya (Moscow) townhouse (which I myself have visited), or (more likely) at his family estate at Yasnaya Polyana, where she went on several occasions, travelling with her own harpsichord. Exact date of photo uncertain, but certainly in 1907, when Wanda Landowska made a concert tour of Russia; three years before the death of Tolstoy in 1910. The lives of Tolstoy and Landowska spanned much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Tolstoy having been born in 1828, and Landowska having died in 1959]

Just imagine: in 1910, a mere three years after that photo was taken in 1907, Tolstoy was dead and, four years after that, in 1914, the disaster of the First World War started, followed three years later by the even more disastrous Bolshevik seizure of power in late 1917.

[“After spending the night in hospital with my daughter, who is very unwell but not life threatening, I don’t want to hear another word about how great the nhs is. The nurses have not looked after her at all. Loud unnecessary conversations throughout the night, lazy can’t be arsed attitudes, no explanation of what’s happening, at all, no desire to offer reassurance or comfort, not one question about whether she wants to sit up or lie down. We are being made to feel like everything is too much and we should be grateful for less than the absolute minimum. She asked for more pain killers, as it’s been six hours. “We will come at six, as it must be six hours unless you’re in pain” (it can actually be four) we explained the doctor says to make it regular, she’s also had morphine and that she is in a lot of pain. “If you dont wait until six the next lot will be hours and hours and hours” I ask what time the last lot was as we think it’s been a really long time. “11:13, so she can wait until six, unless she’s in pain” I say that that’s six hours ago. “Yes so at six we will come round” I have to say “no, at six it’ll be nearly seven hours, she’s in pain now, please can you go and get the pain relief now” She goes. When she returns, rather than coming round to the side of her bed to give a patient medicine, on a drip, she leans from the bottom of the bed and motions for my daughter to get up and take it from her. I have to remind the nurse that she’s in hospital because she’s unwell and in agony. “Oh I didn’t know, I’m new to this ward” this ward is uneventful, nothing is happening. She must have read my daughter’s chart to give her the tablets. What sort of nurse gives tablets from the bottom of a bed?!?! Imagine I wasn’t here? How many patients would have felt despite the pain they should take it from her? Imagine my daughter was a frail or vulnerable patient? The entire experience has been god awful. The hospital is very empty, with wards full lit with no patients in them. It’s utterly utterly shit.”]

All too typical. While the picture overall is not unmixed, and while NHS care is sometimes good, it really is time that the British stopped regarding the NHS as some sort of world-beating service and quasi-religious object of devotion, and started to look at the NHS objectively, as a necessary first step to fixing the array of problems within it. That of course cannot be done so long as the UK is being invaded by a million “migrants” (migrant-invaders) every single year.

[“This ended up being sepsis. My daughter was seriously unwell with a CRP of 268, apparently this is similar to levels after having major surgery. She has been having other investigations since. One thing her consultant said was that if she had any flu symptoms she must get a blood test. Yesterday I went with her to the GP because she has flu symptoms. The paramedic was miffed and didn’t think it was necessary. I mean, he too had had sepsis and he didn’t need a blood test. I know had I not been there my daughter would have left without the test. The results came back and she’s got a crp of over 70, which means infection, inflammation or sepsis. I’m so irritated that unless you’re bolshy the NHS ignores you.”]

The NHS situation is merely one symptom of a society which has been gradually but increasingly visibly declining since, arguably, around 1989 but, also arguably, from earlier dates.

The System political parties and many of the UK’s administrators are engaged in a quite conscious conspiracy sometimes called “the management of decline“, a phrase I think first used by Anthony Sampson in 1962, in his once-influential book, Anatomy of Britain, and its sequels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_Britain.

Of course, the invasion-by-immigration scarcely existed in 1962, despite what is claimed in the fake history now pushed down the throats of both schoolchildren and the general public. That migration-invasion (a term invented and first used by me about 15+ years ago but now in general use) has greatly accelerated the (post-1989?) process of decline and, indeed, degeneration.

[Germany 1930s: Bund Deutscher Madel (BDM) girls riding in a forest]

Exactly. “Every single time”

All those involved with that ad, and all similar propaganda, whether in Denmark, UK, or elsewhere, should be, at the least, sent to labour camps.

At this point, European society has to protect itself, and protect its future.

Of course, France (i.e. the Macron bad-joke regime, influenced by the pervasive Jewish/Israel lobby), some years ago banned satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz from France for 40 years because of her lampooning of “holocaust” fakes and fraudsters.

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil little sprite. In a better world, she and those akin to her would not exist.

Good grief! Too corrupt even for the Kiev regime!…

Witkoff…Kushner…join the dots…

You never hear in the UK/US msm anything about the decade or more of Kiev-regime attacks on civilians in Russia and the now-occupied areas of Ukraine such as the Donetsk region.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

The YouGov poll, yesterday, put Reform on only 24%. This More in Common poll is more in line with literally hundreds of previous polls, so perhaps more accurate.

Translates to a Commons with Reform having about 384 MPs (very solid overall majority), Labour 80 (official Opposition but very weak, having lost 332 MPs…), LibDems 51, SNP 43, and Cons 43 (meaning that they would have lost 78 MPs) [etc].

Among the 332 Labour MPs likely to be binned— Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Shabana Mahmood, Jess Phillips (at last!), Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst, Stephen Timms, Wes Streeting, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall (it just gets better!), Yvette Cooper (yay!), Anna Turley, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Torsten Bell, Heidi Alexander, Lisa Nandy, Emma Reynolds etc.

Among the likely-to-be-binned 78 Con Party MPs— James Cleverly, Mel Stride, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Desmond Swayne (my own local MP: I do not disagree with some of his views but, looking at him as a constituency MP, I have heard several tales of his laziness and uselessness); Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy (good riddance! An abject puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby); Tom Tugendhat (part-Jew Israel lobby puppet, so good riddance); Alec Shelbrooke (mediocre complete puppet of the UK Jewish lobby and Israel lobby); Danny Kruger, Priti Patel (one more Israeli agent sacked) [etc].

It will be noted that among the likely survivors would be both Starmer-stein and Kemi Badenoch.

Removed from office or just removed. Same goes for all the members of this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment.

Give someone such as Starmer-stein (a mediocre System lawyer) political power, and this is what happens— a regime of petty tyranny, with neither integrity nor decency, nor even any resilience.

The slow advance of Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine continues.

Quite.
“They” always say they want or need a secure base (in Palestine/Israel), but most of “them” seem to want to deny the same to us.

Israel’s main nuclear centre…

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

Surely a priority target for the enemies of Israel.

I have to admit, though, that the Israelis tend to be better at laying out their towns than the Arabs (or, these days, even the British…)

[Herzl Boulevard, Dimona, Israel]

Unless Reform implodes in the next 3 years, or unless the opinion polls have all been mistaken over the past 18 months, most of the MPs now proudly and lucratively polluting the Palace of Westminster are not going to be there after 2029, at latest.

UK rather similar…money thrown at the Kiev regime while there is so much need in our own country.

Of course, whether the invaders are rubberstamped “legal” or “illegal” is almost irrelevant. Numbers are the crux of the matter.

[“A message to Wes Streeting. Mary is 79 – she has dedicated her whole life to the NHS and caring for others since she began her nurse training at 16 years old. She has been waiting for EMERGENCY back surgery for 9 months after 3 years of horrendous pain. She’s now completely immobile. Her family are desperate. She’s desperate. She’s in agony. Luton and Dunstable NHS trust have DISCHARGED her because “The waiting list is too long” and there are others in front of her who are in “more desperate need” – she is practically paralysed and cannot care for herself! They’ve sent her HOME on Morphine as they have NO beds. Her daughter who has 3 young children sobbed on the phone last night – “we have been forgotten and there is no help whatsoever” she said. Over 40% of the population of Luton were NOT BORN in the UK and it hosts 13% of the asylum population of England yet Mary who has contributed taxes to the UK treasury for over 60 years is behind these people on NHS waiting lists! It’s WRONG. It’s UNACCEPTABLE and it’s totally UNFAIR! Why are we allowing our elderly to be treated like this? Its immoral and its an absolute disgrace! @rach_hopkins Labour MP for Luton. @wesstreeting this is on you – I have written to the Trust CEO Mr David Carter – between you all I suggest you put this BRITISH NURSES medical emergency before that of foreign nationals or her family will be forced to seek legal advice for gross misconduct and negligence. We MUST demand the safety, wellbeing and care of the most vulnerable in our society. **Repost if this is something you feel as enraged about as I do**!! @UKLabour“]

When it comes to the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, which is by far the most active lobby in the UK corrupting and suborning and influencing the police, CPS etc, Matt Goodwin puts a telescope to his blind eye and cries out “I see no ships!“.

The Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby is engaged in massive and (of course) (((well-funded))) “lawfare”, trying to shut down the freedom of expression of British people: see, for example,

[painting by Victor Ostrovsky. I like several of his works but particularly like this one; it must remind me of someone or other]

Diary Blog, 1 January 2020

A few minutes of J.S. Bach to welcome in the New Year and the new decade.

That music always makes me smile. When I did a couple of days of parachute training in deepest Wiltshire in 1978, that piece was used as the soundtrack to a short film showing a stick of men and women exiting a plane in a string and then freefalling, eventually joining up to create a star-shape. Quite something.

Not quite what they imagine…

I don’t particularly like Kasparov, but of course he is (mostly) right here:

Having said that, most UK “millennials” have a pathetically-low level of political and historical knowledge anyway. They have been filled at school with ahistorical semi-fantasy such as the supposed evils of National Socialist Germany (complete with “gas chambers” that never existed and of which there is no credible evidence). The Soviet Union? GULAG “archipelago”? The purges and other killings which characterized Sovietism from 1917 right up to, say, 1956 (some would say the 1980s)? The “millennials” know little or nothing about that.

The (or those particular) “millennials” seem to have a fantasy-politics idea about “Communism” (and by that do they mean “socialism” as practised in the various states espousing it since 1917, or do they mean the Marxist end-game “Communism”, with the State “withering away” etc? Hard to say, and we are not told).

I suggest that they read GULAG Archipelago, Under Two Dictators, Into the Whirlwind, The World I Left Behind etc. Of course, few will…

There is another point here. Since, mainly, the early Blair years, freedom of expression has become conspicuous by its absence in the UK. Look at the cases of Jez Turner, imprisoned (and for a year —in reality, 6 months— at that) merely for saying in a rather humorous speech that Jews should be expelled (for the second or third time) from England;

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/tag/jeremy-bedford-turner/

or Alison Chabloz, prosecuted and actually convicted (it’s a bad joke…) for singing some funny songs about Jews, “holocaust” hoaxes and similar fakery.

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/09/24/the-persecution-of-alison-chabloz-latest-news-from-the-kangaroo-courts/

Then look at this! An unfortunate fellow actually charged, prosecuted and convicted of “incitement” for making what seem to have been (judging from the newspaper report)  fairly unexceptionable remarks on Facebook and Twitter:

https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/nazi-jailed-hate-campaign-involving-3643363

That unfortunate victim of political “justice” was sentenced, incredibly, to TWO YEARS IMPRISONMENT by a judge who admitted that the sentence was meant to “deter others” (from making socio-political statements of an anti-multikulti and radical nature). Pure political theatre on behalf of the Devon & Cornwall Police (who evidently have too much time on their hands), the CPS and the Court. Save perhaps for the sentence, this could have been a “troika” of the NKVD in 1937, a “show trial” of the same period, or indeed a session of the “People’s Court” in 1944 Germany.

Another political prisoner in the UK.

RIP, free speech…

Or look at me, come to that: disbarred (albeit years after I gave up Bar practice, so be it) merely for having tweeted, as a private citizen, 5 particular tweets (out of at least 150,000 tweeted), e.g. tweeting that Michael Gove is a pro-Jew, pro-Israel, expenses cheat. All of which was true! He was. He is (except that Parliament has made it harder to commit fraud since 2010). He is also, as we now know, a “former” cocaine abuser (I think that the bastard is still using, in fact, looking at him):

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/

I was also “interviewed”, “voluntarily”, by Essex Police in 2017:

https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/

Let us be clear here: the Jewish-Zionist lobby was behind both of my encounters with “authority” detailed above. Collusion between that lobby and others (probably all freemasons) and also, in the Essex case, the police.

Freedom of expression has already been severely restricted in the UK, an outcome of both the post-1997 extension of power by the Jewish lobby, and also the increasingly “diverse” nature of the UK. A “diverse” society is either a shambles or a dictatorship, or both.

Freedom of expression is arguably the most important issue in the UK at present.

Obituary

I just read, 6 months late, this obituary of the scribbler and historian Norman Stone, whom I recall reading (though probably only in The Spectator) 20-30 years ago. The obit is a good read; also quite surprising!

Christmas University Challenge

Watched a University Challenge featuring alumni teams from Wadham College, Oxford and Trinity, Cambridge, including the journalist Anne McElvoy (who usually appears as a talking head on politics shows, looking terribly pleased with herself), the Jew scribbler Jonathan Freedland (Guardian columnist) and other writers, academics etc.

I got more questions right than than both teams put together, possibly because the questions were easier than usual and/or because there was a paucity of detailed scientific/technical/mathematical questions. I see that I was not alone:

The Twitterati

When the Jewish-Zionist “claque” on Twitter had me expelled (mid-2018), I had about 3,000 “followers”. I never had huge illusion about the “influence” Twitter gives. Very little, really. For many, it is not an adjunct to doing something, but a substitute for it. Slacktivism.

We see that thousands inveigh against evil bastard Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, Esther McVey etc. What has happened to them? Nothing. Now we see that the British Government has become a repressive ZOG regime under Boris Johnson, a part-Jew public entertainer who is the most egregious political con-man since Horatio Bottomley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Bottomley], and that is even counting Nigel Farage and Robert “Maxwell”. Thousands take to Twitter to denounce Boris-idiot and his Cabinet of “Israel First”-ers. What happens to Boris? To Priti Patel? To Sajid Javid? Nothing.

The fact is that, though it has its educative uses, Twitter, from a political viewpoint, is mainly a waste of time, a distraction, and a diversion.

Labour leadership

YouGov polling:

Leaving aside my own preferences, I should say that, objectively, there are four solid candidates: Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Yvette Cooper, Lisa Nandy. The other three are just a joke.

Of the four real candidates, I despise Yvette Cooper because she

  • was a proven expenses cheat, along with her husband Ed Balls;
  • is a “refugees welcome” idiot and also hypocrite, who falsely claimed that she would put up “refugees” (migrant-invaders) in her own home (not that I would like her any the more if she actually did so);
  • is completely in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist element;
  • is a would-be dictator (among other flaws an enemy of freedom of expression).

As to Keir Starmer, yes, in a sense he could be termed a solid candidate, in that he:

  • looks the part;
  • has a solid background in law and government;
  • was born on the same same day of the year, 2 September, as me —though in 1962, not 1956— (only joking, though I was born on 2 September).

What are Starmer’s views on free speech? I do not know, though he has written a book partly about that. I saw this tweet, which is not encouraging…

…and it looks as if Starmer is a bit of a doormat…

This is better…

Overall? I cannot see Keir Starmer energizing the voters. Rather a dull fellow. If he becomes Labour leader, which seems quite likely, I imagine that Labour will improve slightly in the opinion polls, that the Jew-Zionist element in the msm etc will not give Labour such a hard ride, and that Labour will then lose the next general election gracefully…

What about Rebecca Long-Bailey?

For me, she is the best overall candidate, but only out of a poor bunch. She at least has (a few) ideas and some commitment to positive change, and is not entirely a System/Establishment stooge:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/29/rebecca-long-bailey-labour-party-britain

Rebecca Long-Bailey

  • has seen some of the less privileged aspects of UK life (though she herself worked as a solicitor for years, in the property field, inter alia);
  • does at least seem to want a better society (well, it’s a start; many Conservative and Labour MPs do not even make it that far!)

As against that, Rebecca Long-Bailey

  • was caught out lying about watching her father worry about losing his job, then doing so (in fact, those events happened when she was 2 years old!), which was not only untrue, but a rather stupid claim (because easily disproven);
  • seems to be (?) not opposed to mass immigration (migration-invasion);
  • seems a humourless type, a possible or would-be dictator (cf. Yvette Cooper).

I am not sure whether she would stand up to the Jew-Zionist element. Probably not.

I cannot see Rebecca Long-Bailey attracting huge numbers of voters, but you never know. It may be that younger voters might favour her.

Lisa Nandy

  • fairly presentable;
  • a System politician through and through;
  • pro-immigration;
  • looks like a throwback to the Blair-Brown years.

Not likely to inspire many voters to vote Labour.

So there they are, “the candidates”. Labour looks like continuing its downward spiral, but the younger voters favour Labour at present and I cannot see most of the dispossessed young morphing into Conservative voters, even as they age, so the Labour Party may still have life in it in the medium term (meaning the next few years).
