After cleansing Rafah of its inhabitants and razing the entire city, Israel is now preparing to roll out the same model across the Gaza Strip — culminating in the expulsion of the entire population to other countries.https://t.co/8tHCMSmeddhttps://t.co/c5ofMLBEr5pic.twitter.com/BguiysvOh4
Even 6 months ago, the Jewish government of Israel (occupied Palestine) was describing this as a mere and “antisemitic” conspiracy theory. Well, here we are and it seems as if, like so many “antisemitic” “conspiracy theories” and/or “tropes”, this one is, in a word, true.
Looks as if the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza is going to be either entirely killed off or (the survivors) moved God-knows-where into desert camps. It is like a reverse engineer of the foundation myth of the (original) Jews: from the land of milk and honey to a barren desert, possibly in the Sinai Peninsula.
Jewish “human rights” lawyers (of which there are many) will no doubt continue to claim that what the Jews of Israel are doing to the Gazan population is “not genocide“, but that kind of discussion is really akin to the mediaeval Scholastics debating as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
One might add that the Jew-Zionist fanatics outside Israel/Palestine, in the UK and elsewhere, themselves claim that as many as 95% of Jews in the UK, France etc support Israel, and that most of those Jews support what the Israeli government has done, is doing, and plans to do in Gaza and other parts of Palestine still inhabited mainly by Arab populations.
“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas)— latest
I missed this, from 2 months ago:
Almost a year after the whole Jack Monroe debacle began, our nightmare is finally over, and we can make a new start #jackmonroepic.twitter.com/sh6KSobQwg
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that, several years ago, when I first mentioned “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, I was fairly neutral, even slightly sympathetic to her. As I found out more about her, about her entirely invented “backstory”, and about how she had lied about almost everything to do with her life and work, I became more critical.
I also discovered that “Jack Monroe” was making thousands of pounds monthly, indeed tens of thousands at times, from hundreds of well-meaning mugs, who were sending her regular donations via the Patreon website. That was in addition to TV, radio, and other appearance fees, book advances and royalties, and money gathered in from other mugs online on the premise that she was going to sue various public figures, such as the MP Lee Anderson.
The above can all be found via the search box on the blog.
Look at that tweet above. “Jack Monroe”, who frequently extracted money from mugs by claiming to be starving, near-homeless, unable to feed her child (who was, in any event, apparently not looked after by her anyway, most of the time), was (despite vast sums having, so to speak, gone up her nose or down her throat) able to offer the vendor of the said property £157,000 in cash.
Look also at how she is, it is said, now working in some (well-remunerated?) role at Southend Council (Essex). Her father, a Greek Cypriot by origin, was a senior fire officer in Essex, and once got her a job answering calls, before she discovered how easy it was to get many times the money from mugs as an outright fraud. Her father is or was also a property rental-owner of some significance in that town, and may be (presumed but I do not know for sure) a freemason. Join the dots.
Essex, particularly South Essex, is a bit of a “rotten borough” in some ways. The County Council was cheated out of £600,000 by a Jew called Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”) a few years ago. Neither he nor “Jack Monroe” have ever been brought to book for their “grifting” and worse.

An actual decent bit of commentary on Jack Monroe (Hadjacostas or whatever name she goes by now) from Tattle. If you still believe in 'all the good she has done', there is no hope for you and you are as thick as her soup. pic.twitter.com/vCJoiNmAKZ
I made the same points on the blog, and some months in advance of the above…
Many people seem to —shall I say, politely?— echo the blog content in their own online commentaries.
The first tweeter was right, though. “Jack Monroe” is now recognized by most people as a fraud, a con-woman and a total fantasist whose recipes are themselves a fraud, poor in terms of nutrition, far more expensive than claimed, and often looking like a dog’s dinner. All of which I started to notice years ago. What was not so years ago is that the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing has now been dropped by the msm. Only complete mugs now give “Jack Monroe” any credence whatever.

I had not seen anything from that grifting loonie for a couple of years, as far as I can remember. She tweeted, earlier today, that anyone in the UK who did not (her word) “hate” Elon Musk had an IQ below room temperature. Well, while I myself do not agree with everything Musk says or does, I probably agree more than disagree, and my IQ was once (admittedly 40 years ago) measured at 156— I think that it probably stacks up well enough even today against that of grifting political idiot “Supertanskiii” (though one can almost admire someone who has made a living for years doing little but swearing online at “the Tories“, albeit that she has also been able to get State monies via the benefits system).
I have not heard so much from that kind of online pseudo-political “grifter” recently.
Fraudulent fake “cook”, “Jack Monroe”, has been comprehensively exposed and become obscure (I doubt that her rubbish ever appears in newspapers or major magazines any more); that Jewish fraud from Essex calling himself “Man Behaving Dadly”, Simon-something (Harris?), has apparently disappeared too, he having conned naive Essex County Council out of over £600,000.
Others have also seen their brief time of influence ebb away, such as non-practising medical doctor and facemask purveyor, Julia Grace Patterson. That one has now, it seems, almost given up trying to make money out of online “grifting”, and has not tweeted since November 2024, though she remains on the pathetic “Blue Sky” site, and has most recently (late 2024) been flogging Christmas cards online (while still pretending to be an active NHS doctor and health “activist”).
As I predicted a year ago, those sort of pseudo-political fake “activists” have found that their modus operandi of pretending to be tribunes of the people against the (admittedly) wicked “Tories” cuts little ice now that the said “Tories” have been replaced by a fake “Labour” government as bad as, or worse than, the “Conservatives” they replaced.

The tipping point may have been reached for Reform UK, and also for the once-great Conservative Party. Only time will tell. It is natural for people to assume that large political organizations, states, religions etc go on for ever. Not so.
Having seen a bit of what happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when socialism died across Europe and elsewhere, I know that large structures can indeed collapse rather unexpectedly, albeit after long periods of slow preparatory weakness.
When you look at who votes or intends to vote Conservative now, you are really looking, mainly looking, at retired people or people close to retirement.
People who have seen Britain, certainly British cities and towns, turn from being white (i.e. British) to being largely black and brown (etc).
People who have seen large social and economic enterprises (water supply, railways, telephone system, bus network, Royal Mail etc), whatever faults they had, become often unresponsive and failing private-profit bodies.
People who have seen the great institutions of the State fail, and continue to fail, badly— police, courts, judges, legal system, prisons, NHS, border control, immigration control, Army, Navy, Air Force. Civil Service. Royal Family too. All useless, or rapidly becoming so.
What is the rotting head of that failure? The political system, Parliament, MPs, and the now-ludicrous House of Lords.
So when those people go to vote, how will they vote, those disenchanted, angry, let-down people, especially those aged 50+? Not for Labour, which (as I said on the blog for years) has become mainly the party of the “blacks and browns” and in general those dependent on the State for money and/or employment. Only the naive and fairly comfortably-off, in certain places, vote LibDem.
Conservative MPs mismanaged the UK for 14 years 2010-2025. Huge immigration, including the continuing “small boats” invasion. NHS failures. The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Much else besides.
The only reason many older people stuck with the Conservative Party was the State Pension “triple lock”. Then the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, reneged on that (for one year), though he reinstated it the following year. I think that that badly damaged trust.
In my judgment, things are now so bad in the UK and, importantly, seen to be getting worse, and rapidly, that many are willing to leave their old habits and loyalties behind, and to vote Reform. By no means only former Con Party voters. Labour ones too. Look at the case of Lee Anderson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Anderson_(British_politician).
So who is really going to vote “Conservative” in 2028 or 2029? I should say mainly those who are old or very old, who are set in their ways and in their habitual loyalties and, of those, who are fairly comfortably-off in their retirement, and whose local areas have not (yet) been badly-affected by migration-invasion etc.
I do not think that msm commentators have quite factored-in the significance of the Con Party now having a non-white leader. Yes, not the first one, but then look at Sunak’s electoral meltdown.
I would have put that middle-aged/elderly Con-voting group, and or with others willing to vote Con, as adding up to somewhere around 20% of the voting population (General Election 2024— 23.7%) but now I am inclined to think that, by 2028/2029, it may be as low as 15%. On that basis, the Conservative Party may be at the end of the line.
Using Electoral Calculus, and with Con 15%, Labour 25%, LibDem 15%, Greens 10%, and Reform UK 30% (its likely maximum), that would result in a House of Commons with 330 Reform MPs, 163 Lab, 72 LibDem, 20 Con, 4 Green (etc). Reform Commons majority.
Were Reform to get a lesser vote (25%), the result would change to Reform 220, Lab 208, LibDem 76, Con 49 (etc). Still no comfort for the Con Party; only fourth party in Commons.
The Conservatives would have to get 20% overall even to stay where they now are (121 seats). I doubt they will do it.

That tweeter is the ex-wife of an MP removed last year by the voters. For over three decades, she herself worked for him at Westminster, generously paid out of his Parliamentary expenses. She seems to be pro-immigration, pro-Israel, and anti-Russian, inter alia. Seems to be rather bitter in several ways. She is also wrong in most of her (evidently strongly-held) political judgments.
Certainly, so far as the Ukraine situation is concerned, Russia will not accept NATO forces there, even if under “peacekeeping” auspices. Anyway, contrary to that tweeter’s assertion, Russia need not accept any such forces. Russia is, slowly, winning, advancing daily in most parts of eastern Ukraine.
The war will conclude once Russia has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Why then would Russia accept “peacekeepers” who would be NATO troops under another label? Not the USA? Not the very weak UK. Not Germany. Once Macron stops trying to grandstand as a latter-day Napoleon, not France, either.

“Culture” or society does matter, in my view, but very few will look at Kemi Badenoch and think “now that’s the kind of person who should be Prime Minister“…

NEW POST: The Tory Elite Class is in CLOUD CUCKOO LAND. They need to wake up and smell the coffeehttps://t.co/tnTPO0GwyI
There is a belief around that “mainstream” political parties must aim to be in the non-existent or notional “centre”.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I effectively never use the descriptors “right”, “left”, “centre” etc in that way.
What matters is policy, and what matters to the people is the overall effect of policy on their lives. The Conservative Party failed the people in terms of how their confused policy offering actually affected or changed, or failed to change, the lives and lifestyles of the people. Labour is about to follow suit, in my opinion.
Not that Churchill himself wanted to finish off the British Empire. He wanted, in an ideal world, to destroy National Socialist Germany and, at the same time, the Soviet Union.
Churchill’s strategic ineptitude (seen in numerous examples throughout his career) led not only to the destruction of the German Reich, followed by the division of mainland Europe into a Stalinist sector in the East, and a basically American, or notionally Anglo-American, sector in the West, but also to the destruction of all the European empires, and thus their generally civilizing influence over Asia, Africa (including North Africa) etc
The same basic division in Europe (though into 4 national sectors) was carried out in much of Germany and Austria for several years after WW2, with the capital cities (Berlin and Vienna) likewise divided.
Vienna was divided until 1955, Berlin until 1989, and France was, as a notional Western ally, given one sector despite having been defeated in 1940, partly occupied the same year, and fully-occupied in November 1942 (and having not participated in the defeat of the German Reich).
The end of WW2 led directly to the collapse of European rule across the world. The colonies of Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands etc were decolonized, some almost immediately, some much later. Thus began the environmental degradation and loss of wildlife across Asia, Africa, the Pacific etc, which situation continues even today, as do the wars, civil wars, corruptions and tyrannies of the formerly colonial territories.
Churchill, an educated and erudite man who was also completely wrong in his political judgment(s) was, so to speak, “the wrong man at the wrong time”, though the accepted System/msm narrative says the opposite, of course.
As Barnett points out in one or two of those books, after WW2 Britain would have been able to do one of three things well, possibly even two of those things: maintain its status as a great power; regenerate its economy; create a Welfare State. Britain tried to accomplish all three, but was unable to do so satisfactorily. Britain had been beggared by its war against the German Reich.
These three aims or tasks (or problems) are still with us, in some or another form, today.
Britain today is the “also ran” in respect of its military power, its society (Welfare State, NHS, State education etc), and economy.
As far as Barnett is concerned, I should say that he was right far more often than he was wrong.
Incidentally, Barnett was probably denied a knighthood, a life peerage, and other official honours (he did get a CBE) by reason of his having spoken, or strongly implied, the unsayable— that Britain should never have declared war on the German Reich or, having declared war in September 1939, should have concluded an armistice sometime after Dunkirk, in mid to late 1940, before too much hurt and damage had been done in western and central Europe.
Reform UK

"Farage is very quickly building a serious & sustainable electorate —socially distinctive, geographically efficient, culturally coherent, conservative in outlook, and very hacked off with the Tory elite class"https://t.co/OVSRT4eNro
Reform UK’s vote suffers from being wide, indeed nationwide (though not so strong in Scotland), but shallow. 14.29% across the board could easily have meant zero seats anywhere, rather than the 5 Reform actually captured.
The LibDem vote, only 12.22% nationally, was nonetheless concentrated here and there. Result— 72 MPs.
In the East of England, Reform UK scored 17.5% of the vote; in the East Midlands, 18.9%.
Indeed, though Reform won no GE 2024 seats in the West Midlands or North-East England, its vote was still high— 18.1% in the former, and 19.9% in the latter (less than half a point behind the Conservative Party). Reform was also not very far behind the Conservative Party in the West Midlands.
Reform UK came second in 98 constituencies, of which 89 were won or held by Labour.
It is not impossible to surmise that, if the Conservative Party vote were to collapse further in those 98 seats, Reform UK might capture some, many, or even all of them.
That would be even more likely, arguende, if Starmer-Labour in government disappoints the mass of the people, as I believe it will.
Late tweets seen
“They’re carrying on like a cross between Pravda and Smash Hits.”
I am glad that I am not alone in having noticed the sickening sycophancy of the “occupied” UK msm towards Starmer-Labour (though would anyway be unconcerned were I the only one).
Today, on Sky News, I caught literally seconds of the end of a piece by some sports journalist woman. Her take was that, with “England” in the final game of some football contest, and a new Labour (New Labour?) government in power, it feels (she claimed) like the dawning of a new era. I believe that was the brainless and derivative way in which she put it.
Of course, Starmer-Labour will probably be in power until 2029, so the msm drones naturally want to curry favour, but I think that the said sycophancy goes beyond even that. I think that many in the msm seriously believe that Starmer-Labour is wonderful and will bring about some minor “golden age”.
I see no real connected thinking in the msm about what happens when the UK is importing literally a million invaders every single year, about what happens when a Labour government is harder on workers, the unemployed, the sick, the disabled than has been the past 14 years of “Conservative” government (etc).
What happens when the lights go out? What happens when lawlessness finally overwhelms a fairly civilized court and legal system which evolved over long periods but which is now already swamped?
Also, with a deadhead like Lammy as Foreign Secretary, what happens to Britain’s already-tattered international standing?
What interests me is what will be happening 2025-2029 under the surface of the Labour Party pseudo-landslide Commons majority.
“Labourites have exposed their arrogance by declaring an ‘end’ to the culture war. What they really mean is that they’re in the driving seat now. That they will accelerate woke, whether we like it or not.”
Ed Miliband lives in an eco-fantasy land. He really thinks that banning North Sea drilling will be good for the UK, creating jobs and boosting energy security. With just one week in power, Labour has already lost its grip on reality:https://t.co/A0Mf7aVnng
Who can forget Ed Miliband at Copenhagen in 2005, bleating outside the UN conference (so badly-organized that he was not allowed in at first) about the fake “3/5/7/whatever years to save the world” narrative? I also recall that little monkey, who was the President of the Maldives, jumping up and down and clapping once he realized that his country might receive millions in “climate aid” in case the Maldives sank below the waves (nearly 20 years later, though, it is still there).
Luke Gittos, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss the warped priorities of the new Labour government, Joe Biden’s leadership crisis, the madness of the French left and the truth about Lucy Letby.

As I blogged yesterday, the events of 1944 (which really are, in 2024, rather overdone anyway, bearing in mind that only people born before about 1936 or 1937, i.e. those now at least 87-88 years old, would personally remember them) naturally mean nothing to Sunak, who after all is not really British and was only born in 1980.

Andrea Jenkyns, with her husband (or ex-husband; it seems unclear), Jack Lopresti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Lopresti] are both Con Party MPs, and both are also members of Conservative Friends of Israel. His constituency (also to be fought on new boundaries) may be “safer” than his wife’s or ex-wife’s, but whether safe enough to save Lopresti from also having to stack shelves is an open question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filton_and_Bradley_Stoke_(UK_Parliament_constituency). His only real job prior to becoming an MP was in his family’s ice-cream business (he is of Sicilian origin).
Andrea Jenkyns and Jack Lopresti. Both pro-Israel and the UK Jewish lobby? Kick them both into the political gutter, dear voters.
Literally this…short of shitting gold coins for every man & woman in the UK, I don't think there's any chance of @RishiSunak and his sorry band of Conservative Wets getting more than 20 seats.

Ha. Engaging vision— Sunak in a chariot, throwing gold coins at the plebs and soldiers lining the roads, and shouting “50 gold sesterces for every man!“, as near the end of the 1964 film, The Fall of the Roman Empire:
Boris Johnson today calls Starmer “Sir Keir Schnorrer” (see attached). “Schnorrer” is the Yiddish word for beggar and scrounger. It is pretty offensive. It was part of the lingua franca of my grandparents and of my childhood. I find it unsettling to see Johnson appropriating it… pic.twitter.com/GUBdSUX6fe
“Boris” Johnson channelling his inner Yiddish-speaker, it seems. He is of course, partly Jewish.
[“Boris” Johnson at the Wailing Wall, aka Western Wall or “Kotel” in Jerusalem]
I remember when I first heard the word “Schnorrer“. It was just after a Jew who was Director of Public Prosecutions, one Green, had been caught “kerb-crawling” at King’s Cross in 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Green_(barrister).
That “Jerry” person happened to be at the same large cafe table as me that morning and, he somehow knowing that I was at the Bar (very recently Called, I think), started to talk about Green. His words stuck in my mind. Green, said he, “is what we [Jews] call a Schnorrer“, though his brief explanation of the word was even less polite than that of Robert Peston.
Two Reform UK candidates ditched after accusations of racism and religious hate. @ameliaajenne reports.
Instructive in two senses. First, look at that horrible little “journalist” careerist. Typical. Never give a “journalist” (whether scribbler or TV monkey-on-a-stick) the time of day. They have an agenda, and are enemies subservient to the “usual” lobby.
Secondly, it shows, yet again, that Reform UK is merely “controlled opposition”, and with no loyalty to its own members and candidates. Still, I hope that Reform UK does well enough to help kill off the Conservative Party, as well as moving the “Overton Window” a bit.
Bestiality: Ian Austin: Advocate. 1. …sex between a person and an animal; 2. …behaviour that is very cruel or like that of an animal pic.twitter.com/Ojd2EYcTtw
Just saw the above tweets, posted on Twitter/X in 2023.
Austin, now unmeritoriously in the House of Lords (thanks to “Boris” Johnson), actually wrote at least one letter to the then Director of Public Prosecutions sometime in recent years, and on behalf of the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which letter or letters demanded that I be prosecuted for allegedly having posted “antisemitic” tweets and/or blog comments.
Incidentally, the same Jewish girl student who spearheaded Zionist complaints against the later and wrongfully sacked Dr. David Miller at Bristol University, one Sabrina Miller (no relation), actually defended Austin in relation to the pornography matter, and appeared to be, in a post or posts I saw online, not unsympathetic to his views at the time. She is now a scribbler for the Daily Mail.
Strangely, Austin’s Wikipedia entry seems not to mention his views on the rather unpleasant pornographic matter in question.

“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas) is no more “trans” than I am. A “grifting” cheat, liar, and fraudster, yes.
She is now falling back on previously-deployed (several times; indeed, many times) lies: she is “persecuted“, “having to hide” (“with her son”, who is now about 20 years old and who was mainly taken care of by others in his earlier years) “in safe houses“.
Not forgetting the Press apparently doorstepping her (she’s used that lie several times too) and “stalkers” stalking her in her home area (yawn…another much-trotted-out invention). Oh, and her alleged need for “bodyguards“. Would they be private ones, costing hundreds of pounds per day? Police ones, like some of the royals, and some Cabinet ministers, sometimes have? And does anyone not feeble-minded believe a word of all her nonsense?
“Jack” also claims, yet again, to be under police protection and, yet again, has no idea at all where the last year’s donations from well-meaning but brainless mugs have gone…
Of course she doesn’t…
As for why those utter mugs are still —after years of “Jack” being exposed as a dishonest cheat and fraud— sending her money every month, that is hard to say (beyond simple naivety and/or stupidity). I am not a psychiatrist.
Yes. It has been puzzling to me why the Essex Police, so hot on “racist” teddy bears and “antisemitism”, can find no time to investigate a woman who has ripped off hundreds of thousands of pounds from people, often genuinely poor people, over about 10-12 years. Whether it has anything to do with freemasonry (I think that her father, a former high-ranking fire officer and residential property landlord in Southend, is a freemason, though I am ready to be corrected if that is not so), I have no idea.
The only danger “Jack” is in (excepting possible arrest and/or quite likely civil legal action soon), is that she might be poisoned by the swill she pretends to cook.
Jack Monroe – decent?!
You must be new here.
Her entire back story was revealed to be fabricated nonsense, and she admitted to grifting thousands off donors only to spend it luxury furniture for herself.
Jack Monroe doubling down on the grift. Late delivering on Patreon to just deliberately not doing it & still pocketing cash. Also claiming all her SM accounts were hacked but websites such as Live Follower show that she's been painstakingly deleting over time. Lying? pic.twitter.com/Xn08OXEcSA
As I have blogged in the past, I could imagine “Jack Monroe”, under other circumstances, being a far more serious kind of criminal.
“A complete mental and physical breakdown” that lasted throughout the period from November 2020 to the present day, was it?
That prevented you from fulfilling the >28,000 things that you, Jack Monroe, @JustJackMonroe owed to Patreon subscribers during that time? pic.twitter.com/HzyJAtX0oO
“Jack Monroe” reminds me (her incredible portfolio of lies, and screamingly implausible tales and fantasies, remind me) of the Fawlty Towers episode where, looking at Basil, the psychiatrist says to his wife, “there’s material for an entire conference there“.
You know we’ve got Labour already, all of your inept doing Government. A vote for Reform or anyone else (excluding Labour) is not a vote for Labour, it’s a vote showing their contempt for a Government they had given their trust only to be screwed over in nearly every sense.
Whereas the main System parties have detailed, properly costed, fully or largely worked out policies…most of which are never implemented. Isn’t “democracy” wonderful?…

Growing rumors indicate that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will soon resign. It comes after 78 MPs resigned ahead of the general election. pic.twitter.com/y8OpcZcwSJ
— Sprinter infofactory (@Sprinter00000) June 8, 2024
If that were to occur, it would be absurd. An election for Conservative Party leader could not happen (could it?) until after the General Election. It is uncertain at present even who will or will not retain his/her seat.
In any case, who would want to apply for the job, facing certain defeat in 3.5 weeks’ time? Traditionally, leaders resign after a lost election, so the idea makes no sense.
I suppose that Sunak might resign as Con leader, but retain the Prime Ministership until the General Election on 4 July.
Were Sunak to step down as PM as well, I suppose that the brainless Oliver Dowden might become caretaker Prime Minister. After the inevitable loss of the election, Dowden would then cease to be PM (and, ludicrously, be eligible, as was Liz Truss, for the ex-PM’s £125,000 or £150,000 p.a. for life!).
Re Dowden, I saw this: “Dowden is a former officer of the Conservative Friends of Israel, and has twice chaired the APPG for British Jews. Dowden has said he feels a “cultural affinity” with the Jewish community – his constituency of Hertsmere has the largest Jewish population outside of London.[18]” [Wikipedia]
Nein danke…
Were Sunak to resign as Con Party leader and/or PM prior to 4 July 2024, the Conservative Party might, quite seriously, be left with only a handful of MPs. I think that, for many voters, it would be the last straw.
As it is, we see people at Cabinet level attacking Sunak, the Prime Minister. Con Party discipline is non-existent now as the Titanic prepares to sink beneath the waves.
I have covered on the blog, in past years, various aspects of the fraudulent “grifting” of “Jack Monroe”, but even today there are, it seems, utter mugs around who not only believe her nonsense but also send money to her.
I have also covered, to a lesser extent, other similar frauds: Simon Harris, aka “Man Behaving Dadly” (Essex Jew who blagged £600,000 from Essex County Council, as well as large amounts from individual mugs online); “Supertanskiii” (whose modus operandi is to post tweets etc shouting angrily and often vulgarly at “the Tories”, while asking mugs to send her money; what will she do when her beloved fake “Labour” turns out to be as bad, or worse?); Julia Grace Patterson (her u.s.p. is that she was briefly a medical doctor in the NHS —for about 2 years—); Mike Stuchbery (see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/) etc.
Then of course, there is the “Captain Tom” fraud/embezzlement/”grift”, carried out by the daughter and son-in-law of the ancient ex-officer who raised millions (supposedly for the NHS) by that now-famous yet brainless stunt of traversing his garden lawn on a Zimmer frame thousands of times a few years ago. “Captain Tom” himself was no doubt sincere; his daughter is just a freeloading fraud.
As the BBC might say “other fraudulent grifters are available“…
She’s a grifter, no doubting it. But she’s been scapegoated, a distraction for what was a ridiculous few months of Captain Tom Moore bullshit. Captain Tom was also in cahoots with the Gov, acting as a media distraction for the lockdown casualties and failing system. Wake up 🫵 pic.twitter.com/oPJh2mbiWi
It's a big day for grifters. Here is Jack Monroe stating that she's not a millionaire despite the fact that we all know she's taken hundreds of thousands of ££ for taking donations for a lawsuit she never had any intention of going through with. Oh and stop your patreon Jack! pic.twitter.com/dO9akmLDhf
…and still sob-storying about “her boy“, who must be 20 years old now, and who (it is said) was mostly taken care of by others, not by drink/drug wreck “Jack Monroe”.
Oh she's a known liar anyway whom I blocked long ago. Isn't that correct @KitchandBot
Day 380 since the deadline to sue Lee Anderson expired. Rich poverty-cosplayer Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook lies & harasses those asking for refunds & transparency after taking 100s of 1,000s of donations for 1 year. A decade of lies, fraud & theft – Kickstarter, Teemill, Patreon…
I still fail to see how “Jack Monroe” asking for money to sue Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney (and then spending the money on her own pleasures and whims) is any different to what Xahra Saleem did.

Farage in fiery clash with BBC's Mishal Husain over 'silly' migration question https://t.co/FhcpPJ5Hhb
— AstroPeanut 🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇬 (@peanut_astro) June 4, 2024
The BBC must be defunded.
Not that I have much time for Farage, for several reasons. For one thing, “net zero” migration would still, if implemented, mean about 200,000 non-whites entering the UK and staying indefinitely, because about that many persons (mostly whites people, i.e. real British people) leave every year to try to find a decent life is Australasia or North America etc.
Well, of course, Sunak has all the charisma or “in-touch-ness” of a limp lettuce, something that Sunak has in common with ludicrously over-promoted and now washed-up 49-day-PM Liz Truss.
That reminds me: I have heard and seen nothing, for weeks if not months, about or from Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), who lasted only 38 days as Chancellor, yet received a payoff for those 38 days of nearly £17,000 (in addition to salary etc): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwasi_Kwarteng#Dismissal.
Controlled opposition. The Conservative Party is generally pro the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, and Israel itself. So is Farage. So is Goodwin. Get the picture?
Only a social-national party or movement can save the future of this country, but such a party or movement does not exist. The nearest is Patriotic Alternative, I suppose.
According to our recent YouGov survey, a shocking 10% of the British public are unaware that #MotorInsurance is compulsory for any vehicle used on a public road.
Labour aren't popular, they're a lot less unpopular. I don't envy Starmer the 'honeymoon' period with Murdoch, but then I don't envy anyone's honeymoon with Murdoch.
I too, like tweeter “@JoeeggJoe”, think that the Cons have the potential to fall further. Now that Farage is Reform UK leader, Reform may increase its support, not so much because Farage is wildly popular but simply because Reform now as a very identifiable leader, which was not the case with Tice.
I also tend to think that there is a bloc of “secret Reform UK” voters, unwilling to admit to it publicly or to poll canvassers, but who, on 4 July (or before that, in postal voting), will put their X by Reform UK candidates, either because they support Reform UK anyway, or because they see it as the best way, where they live, of kicking the Conservative Party).

More music
I like The Shadows for several reasons. Firstly, their music reminds me of my fairly early years of childhood, I having been born in 1956 (and so was about 6-7 in 1963). Secondly, their originality and quality. Thirdly, their music evokes a sense of the optimism of England in the years of the early/mid 1960s. Fourthly, they are or were unmistakably English, for all their enthusiasm for Americana (eg their piece, F.B.I.) in those Atlanticist years.
I remember seeing their name on the outside of the Kursaal in Ostend (Belgium) in the summer of maybe 1963, maybe 1965, along with that of Cliff Richard, when they were his backing group.
The smug look on the little bitch’s face says it all. Entitled. Probably pig-ignorant. Probably either a student or a trustafarian, or maybe unemployed. My money would be on her being a student of some kind, probably from an affluent family.
Almost certainly pro-mass migration and the invasion of the UK.
Regular readers will be aware that I am no fan of Farage’s “controlled opposition” “conservative nationalism” but this must be punished. I doubt that that will happen.
I wrote a piece about this type of sub-terrorism some years ago, when Farage was again the victim of an idiot milkshake-thrower, and the terminally unfunny supposed “comedienne”, Jo Brand, “joked” that it should have been battery acid.
Will the police track down and arrest the woman who today attacked Farage? I wonder…
Obviously, today’s attack was very predictable, and Farage does not seem to have effective personal protection.
I wonder whether Farage will get more votes because of what happened today. Maybe. Certainly, I have scoured the Press looking for any mention of his Conservative Party opponent, one Giles Watling, but without result. Watling is invisible in Clacton. Farage is the only game in town, both for those who like his candidature and those who hate it (and him).
Farage is probably a good deal more sanguine about the attack today than I should be in his position. I am restricted in what I can express, by reason of my free speech trial last year, which has had at least a marginally chilling effect on my freedom of expression, but I think that my regular readers will be able to read between the lines.
The perpetrator should be identified and arrested, though. At least that.
Counterproductive, just more publicity now sympathy for Farage, and no doubt more votes. This woman has unintentionally given Farge a boost.
“I don’t want to see the residents of Clacton-on-Sea taken for granted and sacrificed on the altar of his vanity.”
Mr Watling said he felt it was his job to “transform Clacton’s future” by using government funding he had secured.”
[BBC]
Watling himself seems rather remote from the majority of Clacton residents and voters. I notice that, in the photo on the BBC website, he is wearing a Garrick Club tie:
“As part of a privately funded experiment in Universal Basic Income in 2019, the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (S.E.E.D.) conducted a pilot project that gave a $500 stipend to 125 randomly selected residents for an 24-month period with “no strings attached.“[51] “
[Wikipedia]
“SEED was a Randomized Control Trial that distributed $500 a month for 24 months to 125 recipients. The cash was unconditional, with no strings attached and no work requirements, and recipients were selected randomly from neighborhoods at or below Stockton’s median household income.
Results gathered from the first year, which spanned February of 2019 to February of 2020, found recipients obtained full-time employment at more than twice the rate of non-recipients. Recipients were less anxious and depressed, both over time and compared to the control group. They also saw statistically significant improvements in emotional health, fatigue levels and overall well being. Recipients had a greater ability to pay for unexpected expenses.
People spent the SEED money on basic needs, including food (nearly 37%), sales/merchandise (22%, on home goods, clothes/shoes and discount/dollar stores), utilities (11%) and auto costs (10%). Less than 1% was spent on alcohol and/or tobacco.”
In my view, Basic Income must be the way to go, with AI and robotics impacting employment and set to do so more. The alternative to Basic Income is to have a tiny sliver of the population ultra-wealthy, a wider layer wealthy, and about 80% of the population near-destitute.

“More than 2,000 households a month are facing homelessness in England because private landlords say they are selling up, with some blaming uncertainty caused by government delays to renting reforms.
Official figures show that more than four in 10 families who have asked councils for temporary housing after a private landlord ended their tenancy are in the predicament because the owner told them they were putting the property on the market.
Despite increasing demand, the supply of private housing available to rent is still 50,000 homes below pre-pandemic levels, figures from Rightmove show. The total number of privately renting households, including those in stable accommodation, has hovered around the 4.5m mark for the last decade, according to the English Housing Survey. In that time, England’s population grew by 3.2 million, equivalent to 1.4m households.“

Look at the effect of mass migration aka migration invasion: In the last decade alone, the UK population grew by 3.2 MILLION…
Islington North
The Labour Party is to select its candidate to fight Islington North in the expected 2024 General Election. Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, sacked from Labour by Israel and Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, has not been invited to apply.
Corbyn presently sits as Independent, but was elected at Islington North for Labour in every general election since 1983. At that first election, Corbyn and Labour scored a vote-share of 40.4% (Con 25.3%, SDP 22.4%), but since then Corbyn has never received less than 50% of the total vote, and usually above 60%, peaking in 2017 (when he was Labour leader) at 73% (Con 12.5%, LibDems 9%). At the most recent general election, in 2019, Corbyn scored 64.3% (LibDems 15.6%, Con 10.2%).
The huge unknown is what percentage of the voters voted for Corbyn, and what percentage voted for the Labour label.
Usually, voters vote by label. Few indeed are the instances where a candidate who has been cast out by his or her party, and who has then stood as Independent (or for a small party) then been re-elected. Most face ignominious defeat. However, Islington North may be different.
There has never been a case where a party leader has been expelled, in effect, from his own party, and has then stood as Independent in the constituency that he has represented for 41 years and is still, at time of writing, representing.
Corbyn is very high profile, and of course has been the MP since 1983, over 40 years.
It seems that local Labour has been frozen out of the selection process, and that Starmer or his minions on the Labour NEC will select the candidate. Apparently, there are several not-unlikely possibilities, and a few political chancers, such as faux-revolutionary (and System msm drone) Paul Mason, will probably also apply.
Assuming that Corbyn does stand (as Independent), I think that he might be able to win the election, and I should put his likely vote-share at somewhere around 30%-40%. The official Labour candidate will probably also get about 30%-40%.
There is likely to be a Reform UK candidate, who will probably get below 5%, and possibly (as with UKIP and Brexit Party in previous elections) only around 1% or 2%. The Conservative candidate will almost certainly struggle to get over 10% and, in the present circumstances, may be in lost-deposit territory, below 5%.
It is possible that the LibDem candidate will score over 10%; hard to say.
My view is that, if Corbyn does stand, it will be a straight fight between him and whosoever is selected as the official Labour candidate. Corbyn surely has every chance, if he stands (I think that he will).

The 1997 General Election passed me by; I was in the middle of living for a year in Kazakhstan, was busy with everyday and not-so-everyday things, and did not have a satellite (or any other) TV; also, BBC World Service radio reception from the UK was very poor by reason of the nearby mountains (Almaty is on the lower slopes of the Tien Shan) and the remoteness from Europe etc.

I was and am willing to believe that “Captain Tom” meant well (though the whole stunt was basically brainless), but his daughter and her husband were very obviously riding it for all it was worth from the start. Disgraceful people.
The msm went along with it all because it tended to reinforce the “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” narrative of the times, the “Covid” craziness, “clapping for the NHS”, and other related nonsense.
Sad that @HackedOffHugh was duped into giving so much money to @DepherCPHUK , who I want to believe had his heart in the right place, but sadly like the family of Captain Tom, greed gets you in the end

See also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gxg4jd0ggo, which is well worth reading. An important investigation. These “grifters” should be hounded and prosecuted, not least because they destroy trust in the whole concept of charity and giving.
I myself gave a couple of small donations to that supposed quasi-charitable org. That’s a tenner I shall never get back. Not a fortune, true, but that “grifter” has thereby deprived me not only of a good feeling but also £10 with which I could have bought a couple of Lottery scratchcards. Never mind. If I ever meet him, I shall recover my money from the bastard in person.
I have blogged previously, several times, about this contemporary disease of online “grifters”— “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, the Anglo-Cypriot fraudster known as the “Bootstrap Cook”), “Supertanskiii” (grifts money via her pathetic Twitter/X account which pretends to be doing pro-Labour political campaigning via swearing at “the Tories”), “Man Behaving Dadly” (a Jew called Simon Harris, who “grifted” hundreds of thousands of pounds, like “Jack Monroe”, from gullible members of the public, and also cheated Essex County Council out of about £600,000).
Many others exist, including Julia Grace Patterson, a woman who worked as a very junior NHS doctor for about 2 years before deciding that it was easier to live from online “grifting” in various ways, while also posing online as some kind of champion of the crumbling NHS.

Exactly.
Hear the words of the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, the catastrophe which ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians. None have ever been able to return.
Many readers will be aware of the social media presence of a Jew-Zionist called Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (part-time criminal and civil judge), whose toxic social media presence has led to his being given formal “words of advice” (equivalent to a caution) by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.
I have blogged a little about Myerson in the past; he used to tweet obsessively about me and others, and is tied up with the two organizations who have tried to persecute me over the past 10-12 years, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].
Recently, Myerson’s sworn testimony in the civil case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor was discounted by the judge, along with that of other unreliable Jewish witnesses (Nathan Comiskey, Joanne Bell, Adam Cailler).
The Jewish defendants lost out, and at least one may have to sell his family home to pay the costs of the Claimant, he (the defendant in question) plainly having been misadvised by self-seeking Israel-based Mark Lewis and others.
One defendant, Newbon, another obsessed Zionist, committed suicide during the trial. The attempt to ruin a university lecturer, James Wilson, and make money out of it for Lewis and the defendants, backfired spectacularly.
Despite the above, Myerson is still practising at the Bar, and (as far as I know) still sitting as a Recorder.
He is an obsessive, like so many of “them”. Here we are at 1300 hrs on a Thursday afternoon, and Myerson has already tweeted 39 times today by my count, starting at about 0800 hrs this morning. So about 8 times per hour, for 5 hours (so far).
I have no idea whether his practice is busy or not.
Should Myerson be sitting in judgment over the fate of British people?
For more on that specific legal case and the fallout therefrom, see previous posts on this blog and/or the tweets of the successful and brave Claimant in the case, James Wilson: https://twitter.com/per_incuriam2.

A classic of the Mark Lewis genre.
“Your claims are devoid of merit.”
“I have also made it clear that any costs order will be enforced.”
Three years later, one of his clients is dead, two are facing bankruptcy, and one is going to lose his home.
“Here’s an angry email from Patron’s partner Alexander Zivancevic. My view is that there is no blackmail, there is no harassment, there are no threats, and there are no mindless emails. My position is: Patron Law led its clients – Mr Mendelsohn, Dr Newbon and Mr Cantor – into disaster. And Patron Law ought to pay to get them out. Mr Zivancevic is annoyed and threatening because all this is going to cost him some cash. But it’s fair enough that he coughs up some cash to protect Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor? What do you think?”
I myself have no idea whether the defeated and possibly insolvent Jewish defendants will now seek to sue Mark Lewis and others, including Patron Law, on the basis of professional negligence, but it seems that that is a distinct possibility, if not probability.
Lewis himself has no property in this country, having “relocated” (fled?) to Israel several years ago. Indeed, just before he left, and at the time of his “conviction” in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (for violently insulting people on Twitter etc), and just before he moved “permanently” to Israel, his own Counsel pleaded that he should not be fined too heavily because his “only assets” were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter. Even his car had been provided for him for free, paid for by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers, via the DWP-connected Motability scheme. The so-called “top libel lawyer” (according to the tabloid Press in years past)…
Egregious on its own, but also interesting in that Lewis is apparently a partner in that Jewish or mainly Jewish law firm, Patron Law, based in West London. If Lewis is sued (successfully), it may be the case that the other partners of that firm will be jointly and severally liable, if joined to the putative or potential action.
It is not unlikely that the laws of both libel and business or professional partnership have changed over the past few years. I no longer bother to keep up with most legal changes.
Well, there it is, my opinion (which must now come with a non-governmental health warning…).
I have to say that Mr. Wilson is a far more forgiving man than I am. Those Jewish defendants were trying to ruin Wilson and, even if they have been used and bamboozled and manipulated by their fellow Jews, deserve to suffer the consequences of their own badness, in my opinion.
Maybe it’s a Patron Law thing that, where the other side try to do the right thing morally, Patron Law accuse them of blackmail… https://t.co/DA8zG2N33w
“Blackmail?! Well there’s a coincidence. It is so weird. Before the “meanings” judgment was signed off and approved in my case, reading the draft I could see that it was not going well for the other side, that there would likely be further publicity which might be damaging to them and I did not want to cause them any harm. Like the old Buddhist hippy I am, via my sols, I made an offer that was pretty much in the same terms as the settlement we eventually ended up with, suggesting settlement before the judgment was handed down, and then we could ask the judge if he’d be willing not to hand down judgment in those circumstances. My offer was refused as “blackmail”. The judgment was delivered, and published on the BAILII website. The other side then settled. I don’t get it.” [tweeter Cremant Communarde “@0Calamity”]
…or maybe it’s just a (((you know who))) thing…
👀 I am getting closer to publishing evidence which creates a clear moral case for Patron Law to pay my costs.
That would mean the nightmare is over for Patron’s former clients Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor.
Needless to add, a “moral case” would not cut it; only a clear legal case would do that.
I wish Mr. Wilson good luck, and victory.

Extremely shocking footage showing the execution of unarmed civilians by Israeli forces. I obtained the scenes from a social media account of an Israeli soldier from the paratroopers brigade.
Regular readers will have seen that I recently had a slight disagreement with my wife over whether we should give to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance via some fellow who knocked uninvited at the door. I was unsure whether he was bona fide or not.
I later tried to contact the air ambulance people, only to discover that their telephone (the real one— I looked it up online) is an automated message which then switches to a line that then goes dead almost immediately. I emailed them via their own website but (about a week on), I have had no reply, nor even an acknowledgment.
I believe their CEO gets about £150,000 a year, maybe more, and that their total administrative staff salary spend (ie not pilots, not doctors etc) is about £700,000 a year. P*** poor.
I myself would never now give to Hampshire Air Ambulance, whether or not the bozo at the door was bona fide.
People should be banned from fundraising at the door anyway; it’s an open invitation to rip off householders.
The same goes for most of the larger charities as well. The higher-up staff are often getting £100,000, £200,000, even £400,000 a year. Forget it.

The Kiev regime has run out of “useful idiots” willing to volunteer to be killed or crippled on the chaotic and crumbling front lines. The foreign idiot virtue-signallers (unemployed Brit ex-private soldiers and adventure junkies, American Soldier of Fortune readers etc) have long since gone home, or been killed.

“A country that has forgotten its culture, history, traditions and national heroes is doomed to extinction” [Tolstoy]
I look at Britain and muse as to whether that can be said (can yet be said) about this country. I am unwilling to say so —yet— but that is probably the heart ruling the head, to be frank.
Well, this week I merely equalled John Rentoul’s 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9. I was unsure about questions 4, 5, 6, and 10, and had no idea at all about question 2.
“A fellow at the University of Cambridge who has sparked backlash with his comments on race has been dropped by Emmanuel College where he was a research associate.
Nathan Cofnas, an early career research fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, is understood to have had his relationship with the college ended following an investigation into his conduct.
Mr Cofnas came under fire in February after he published a blog post which claimed the number of black professors at Harvard would ‘approach zero’ in a meritocracy, and that ‘Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’
He also dismissed equality between people of different ethnicities as a ‘thesis’ that is ‘based on lies’.
Mr Cofnas, who describes himself as a ‘race-realist’, is understood to have been informed of the college’s decision by letter on April 5, which stated his posts were in violation of its diversity and inclusion policies.
Last month, the first black man to ever be appointed to the head of a Cambridge College, Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, held an event with students and the master of Emmanuel Doug Chalmers to discuss their concerns.
Lord Woolley, who was previously appointed by then-Prime Minister Theresa May to head the UK Government’s Race Disparity Unit, told the assembled students that free speech must be protected, but this did not extend to ‘abhorrent racism’.
Emmanuel’s Master Mr Chalmers had initially backed Mr Cofnas’ right to freedom of speech, but the college soon launched an investigation, alongside other probes by the University and the Leverhulme Trust, which provided him with a research grant.”
So the “diversity hire” has no understanding of the concept of free speech, or the concept of academic freedom, yet has been appointed principal of a Cambridge University college…

If Sunak thinks that this tired and derivative form of “gutter politics” will fly, he is very mistaken. I was looking at the “Readers’ Comments” in the Daily Mail on this. Only about 1% support the policy and/or think that it will ever be possible (or desirable) to implement it.
We read that there is currently an “epidemic of shoplifting“. What does Sunak imagine will be the result of cutting off the last peanuts lifeline to people, leaving them totally desperate, destitute, homeless etc?
If Sunak and the Conservative Party are trying to improve their electoral chances by this, they are in cloud-cuckoo land. The only people who will be impressed will be the hard core of unthinking Con voters aged 60+, and they will vote Con anyway.
Of course, none of the announced policies will be implemented, or implementable, prior to the General Election. The question therefore devolves to the response from Starmer and Rachel Reeves etc, who will probably be forming the next government. If they follow in Sunak’s footsteps, there could be something akin to an uprising eventually; certainly social upheaval.

Now, more information. Seems that the egregious Israel-based Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was involved (I was unaware of that until today, though did wonder when I saw a few tweets in the past week). He has messed up…again.
It seems Mr Lewis thought Mr Cantor had no assets and had financial immunity for my costs even if he lost.
The “misunderstanding” is catastrophic for Mr Cantor and his family because he must sell his house to pay my costs.
My opinion is that Mr Lewis should pay the costs! 2/2.
Lewis is actually a pretty poor lawyer anyway in my opinion (based partly on what I have read about him over the years), and he has in the past admitted that at times — apparently by reason of his prescribed medications, in part— he has, or has had, no idea of what he is or was doing.
Looks now as if that Cantor individual (of whom I know nothing, and of whom I had never heard until this case finished recently) will or might have to take legal action against Lewis himself if he is not to become homeless after his failed attempt to ruin a university academic. What a great pity…
It is not for me to pronounce on whether Lewis was negligent and/or dishonest in this particular case, but (once again) it seems that he has, shall we say, “questions to answer”.
Lewis, though now based in Israel, has a foothold in the UK as “partner” of a small law firm in West London.
Lewis is basically a self-publicist: see my previous (years ago) blog mentions of him.
That blog post contains links which detail many (though I think not all) of Lewis’s defaults.
There is a notorious Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter/X, and in the UK mass media, which has been determined for years to present Lewis to a gullible Press readership, TV-watching public etc as “hot shot lawyer”, or (as often described) “top lawyer“.
The fact is that, when Lewis finally left the UK for Israel (to live in Israel) about 5 years ago, his own Counsel said (at his “trial” before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in London, at which Lewis was found guilty of having posted savagely violent social media posts) that Lewis had “no assets” except his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. Even his car was being provided to him by the State disability benefit service, Motability.
Oddly (not), Lewis’s appearance before, and “conviction” by, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal was not covered at all by the “occupied” UK msm, and only briefly by a few law magazines…
More:
Wow! Mark Lewis acted for Daniel Miller and Nina Power against Luke Turner. Lewis’ clients lost in spectacular fashion. Mr Miller is now bankrupt. I am not sure about Ms Power.
It is awful the same will happen to Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor!
Seems that James Wilson is, on the face of it, a little too kind. Those Jew-Zionist fanatics (the defendants Cantor and Mendelsohn, whoever they are —I had heard of the unpleasant Newbon) were, after all, quite willing to ruin Mr. Wilson if they could.
As for Lewis, he is, in my opinion, repeatedly unprofessional, quite apart from, also in my opinion, being very far from as effective as his fellow-fanatics try to make him appear.
Lewis’s Third Witness Statementsays it— he “misunderstood“…
Mr Cantor was on a CFA with Mr Lewis, so if he settled with me for nominal damages and zero costs, he had to pay me almost nothing and his solicitor absoutely nothing.
Why would he have rejected this settlement in principle?
Lewis is no better than an “ambulance-chaser”, in my opinion.
For context. Mr Lewis referred to me as £19 Wilson because my maximum cost was £19/hour whereas his was £600/hour. And the Defendants – or perhaps Mr Lewis – refused mediation for two years until they lost the strike out application.
I keep seeing on Twitter/X that Lewis must be a great defamation lawyer because he “won when representing ‘Jack Monroe’ against Katie Hopkins, who lost and had to sell her house.”
True, Katie Hopkins did lose that case, and did have to sell her house to pay the legal costs supposedly incurred by that fraudulent purveyor of 10p-a-dinner swill, “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, before she changed her name).
What that story leaves out is that, firstly, Katie Hopkins was either badly advised or, as I believe was the case, not advised at all; she had no lawyers, and so persisted with a defence which was bound to fail. She never stood a chance, but her pride got in the way.
As for Lewis, a child could have won that case against Katie Hopkins.
So Lewis was trying to blag £600 an hour for his most recent defective advice? Well, he will get nothing now (again); he will have to keep the lights switched off in his flat in Eilat, and “collect the pennies on the empties”, as people used to say.
Unfortunately this is necessary because I am dealing with unreasonable people. This message shows Pete Newbon’s total faith in Mark Lewis (@MLewisLawyer) of Patron Law (@LawPatron) to look after him in the litigation. Pete guessed he had to trust Mark Lewis. pic.twitter.com/6uNzvceSj4
Typical Lewis: tries to intimidate people who have no assets beyond (perhaps) a residential property; they, he hopes, will settle and, crucially, pay supposed “costs” to Lewis, who then gets money without having had to win at trial.
The defamation case won by James Wilson, included references in the court judgment that Rachel Riley had promoted the crowdfunder by the defendant (who’d committed the libel) to employ lawyer Mark Lewis.

Lewis should be (at long last) struck off the solicitors’ roll; as for Myerson, the matter should be placed before the Bar Standards Board. I hope that Mr. Wilson complains formally to the BSB about him. In the meantime, Myerson should not be permitted to sit as a Recorder (if he still is so permitted after his previous defaults).
Yet another instance of Lewis having been, if not dishonest (?), then certainly negligent. That, at least, was the view of yet another High Court judge.
The world has had capitalist societies, socialist societies, feudal societies etc, but now, in the UK, has emerged a new form of society— the permanently “offended” society of fake “diversity”.
Most of the faked “offence” is taken by “the usual suspects”, of course.
The Daily Mail and Jewish/Zionist so-called “charities” (including the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) are whining because someone convicted (on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber) in 2018, and then sentenced to 6.5 years, is being released a few months before the end of his full term expires.
Most prisoners are released at, or even before, the halfway point. In this case, that would have meant release in 2021, three years ago.
I hope that the State will not be so cruel as to deny the young couple the right to have their child returned to them. To do that would be absolutely evil.
If the newspaper report (penned by one Iwan Stone, incidentally) is correct, the couple intend to live in Portugal when they can. Good luck to them as they move on from all of this.
Have they not suffered enough?
Literary thought
For no obvious reason, The Merchant of Venice springs to mind. I have not seen a proper production being put on for quite a while.
Othello seems to be more popular.
Perhaps it always was; it has also inspired more adaptations and variations, as in this old noir:

No matter how much money the U.S. Government sends to the Kiev regime, no matter even how much armament and ammunition is sent, the Kiev regime cannot “win”, even to the extent of occupying the Donbass and Crimea.
The Kiev regime army is flagging as many desert the field, and many more avoid conscription. To be recruited by the Kiev regime army is to be sent to quite likely death or life-changing injury on the front-lines, which are now starting to collapse.
Ukraine is producing few children, and a quarter or more of its pre-2022 population is living outside Ukraine. If American and EU aid stopped, there would be no fighting within a few weeks, followed by either a negotiated armistice or Russian victory. As it is, it looks as though this brutal war will smoulder on for months, maybe even a year or two.
In the end, though, Russia will “win”, in the sense of taking over all of Eastern Ukraine, and possibly the coast as far as, and maybe beyond, Odessa.
I watched a few minutes of a very biased BBC World News report about the war. The reporter, some bearded fellow whose name I did not catch, did say something about why Ukrainians try to avoid fighting. Apart from the obvious dangers, open-ended service (no way of getting out) and poor conditions generally.
What, however, made the report farcical was said reporter’s then assertion that Ukraine is a “genuine democracy“. Hardy ha ha… A “genuine democracy” that now refuses to hold elections, has banned trade unions, which press-gangs people up to age 60 and beyond to serve as cannon-fodder on the collapsing front-lines, and which shoots dissidents, or holds them without trial in unpleasant camps and prisons.

“A far-right activist who was caught with a library of online stickerstelling non-white people to “go back” has been found guilty of inciting racial hatred.
The jury at Leeds Crown Court returned a verdict this afternoon after spending less than a day deliberating the case of Sam Melia.
The 34-year-old was on trial following a raid at his Pudsey home on Town Street in April 2021 in which police uncovered a catalogue of downloadable stickers which were “intended to stir up racial hatred” and encouraged racially-aggravated criminal damage. They also found a poster of Adolf Hitler on his wall and a book by the infamous British fascist, Oswald Mosley.“
[Yorkshire Evening Post]
There was a time in England, not so very long ago, when people had real freedom of expression. Even in the 1970s, when free speech had already been cut back, it still existed to an extent unthinkable in the England of 2024, in which the “woke” or “politically correct” rule almost supreme, and in which the malicious and fanatical Jew-Zionists “monitor” anything British people say or write, lest it might be —or can be be contrived to look— “grossly offensive” (to “them”).
The great British jury has also fallen by the wayside, and now almost inevitably finds anyone accused of “inciting racial hatred” guilty, no matter how flimsy the evidence. Rubber-stamp juries. I have no idea whether that was the case in respect of the Sam Melia trial. I know only what has been in the Press over the past day or two.
Not only that. Anyone found with such innocuous things as “racist” stickers may get, not even months but years of incarceration, in an England where real crime, even violent crime, is often scarcely punished by the courts.
Look at that Yorkshire Evening Post report. Things actually perfectly lawful (having a poster of Hitler on the wall at home, owning a book by a long-dead British politician) added to the mix in a “nudge-nudge, wink-wink” way…
I do not know Sam Melia, only of him, and only slightly even on that basis, but I very much regret that he has been found guilty. My thoughts are with him, and with his wife, the socio-political activist Laura Towler.

I asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov if western leaders were psyching us up for an all-out war against Russia.
He gave a very eloquent answer, showing the reality of what’s happening as contrary to Washington & London’s heated rhetoric.
Ukraine’s (Kiev regime’s) only hope in this war is to bring in NATO on the Kiev-regime side; to widen the conflict. Russia has not taken the bait so far, but the Zelensky regime keeps pushing, keeps prodding, in the hope of provoking a massive Russian response which might draw NATO into the war directly. If that were to happen though, it would be but a short step to a world war.

They say 'bring back National Service'. I say bring back secure well-paid jobs, final salary pensions, union rights, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition and student grants, affordable rail fares and social housing.
The ITN film of a Palestinian civilian shot dead under a white flag is horrific. Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak and now the US State Department have all point blank refused to condemn it. More and more people are realising that the political class are utterly subservient to Israel.
The guilty verdict for Sam Melia today really does mean that anyone pushing back against the agenda can have a case manufactured against them by the state.

Many people kid themselves that we live in a somehow “free” country, when what it really is, or has become, is an “iron fist in velvet glove” dictatorship. Well-disguised at times, yes, and somewhat shambolic too, which gives the appearance of laxity (and so “liberty”), at times, but still a repressive dictatorship under (((the usual))) influence; and it is getting worse almost daily.
For asking whether the host of 'Free Speech Nation' would cover the political persecution of Sam Melia, an archetypal free speech case: https://t.co/3CmuJWlsdD
Sam Melia has been convicted of producing stickers that the prosecution admitted contained no unlawful statements, meanwhile the "Free Speech Union" stays silent on the matter and concerns themselves with this nonsense instead. https://t.co/C7IjBzVcdG
The usual “controlled opposition” grifters, such as Toby Young, can be disregarded as a total waste of space.
While I've no time for #PA, this has to be said: Sam Melia is dragged through the courts and portrayed as a racist monster over stickers with messages such as "White Lives Matter", which graced a few hundred lampposts.

Meanwhile, Tommy Robinson is allowed to post blatant incitement and heavy-duty ‘Islamiphobia’ like this to a gigantic audience.
I have always believed that the Muslim #grooming gangs – and the native traitors who facilitated them – should be tried and, if convicted, executed. But to use their crimes to incite generic hatred of an entire community is nothing more or less than conditioning for war against Iran – a war for Israel, without a shred of legitimate British interest.
Make no mistake, this is the UK deep state giving an asset free rein to prod the herd to war.“
Griffin is, of course, correct.
All the same, we must be clear from where the poisonous repression is coming. Not from, at root, the police, MI5, the CPS, but from the “special-interest cabals” behind them…
“David Mundell says Scotland Office was not consulted about Mone’s 2015 appointment.
David Cameron breached “proper process” when he appointed Michelle Mone to the House of Lords in 2015, David Mundell, who was the secretary for Scotland at the time, has said.
Ms Mone is not a successful entrepreneur, she is a small-time businesswoman with a PR exposure far in excess of any actual success,” Anderson wrote. “Awarding her a peerage for a very mediocre business performance brings the awarding of titles into disrepute by rewarding failure.” [a well-informed Glasgow business leader wrote— to Cameron privately— at the time].
[The Guardian]
I blogged about Mone’s fakery at the time. Like so many in both the Commons and the Lords, she was always a fake.
“Forests with two or three tree species are on average 35% more resilient to storms than forests with only one species, simulations created by researchers found. The type of trees also matters – forestry plantations are typically made up of fast-growing tall trees such as conifers, but they are more vulnerable to high winds than slower-growing hardwood species such as oak.“
“Conservationists have praised the launch of a new government strategy to revive the remaining fragments of the vast temperate rainforests that were once “one of the jewels of Britain’s nature crown”.
Temperate rainforest, also known as Atlantic woodland or Celtic rainforest, once covered most of western Britain and Ireland. The archipelago’s wet, mild conditions are ideal for lichens, mosses and liverworts. But centuries of destruction have meant that only small, isolated pockets remain.“

Behave yourself Tice / the only agitators is our government Putin causes no risk to the UK https://t.co/zGGxAkKdQJ
Tice is hopeless. It is a measure of how unpopular the present misgovernment is, and how discontented are many of the voters, that Reform UK, even under Tice, even though it is not social-national, is apparently now on 13%, acc. to opinion polling.
Whether that will cut much ice at GE 2024 remains to be seen. We have, in a sense, been here before, with both UKIP and Brexit Party (both Farage vehicles, as is Reform UK). The difference, maybe, is in the degree of desperation felt by the voters.
When the voters feel real desperation, and in sufficient numbers, they may be ready, finally, to turn to real social-nationalism.
Richard Tice is no leader. We need someone with charisma a man of destiny no less.
“...the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not“…
Those latest polling figures are striking all the same. They might translate, at GE 2024, to a Labour majority of 420, with the “Conservatives” left as a rump of 35 MPs.
There are a legion of half-wits who are compelled to throw their money at anyone who utters anything remotely anti-Tory, and the grifters like Jolyon Maugham, Dr Julia, Simon Harris, Supertanskiii, Jack Monroe etc are more than happy to take their cash.
It is depressing, though, to observe how many of the said idiots are unwilling to see the truth even when it is presented, unambiguously and with irrefutable supporting evidence, to them… a bit like the people in the 1930s, 1940s, even up to the 1980s, who sincerely believed both in Marxism-Leninism and in the idea that the Soviet Union was a wonderful society, maybe with a few flaws here and there. I must have met hundreds like that.
Gaza (and the Jew-Zionist quasi-genocidal devastation there) is a very important issue but, as an acerbic Dutch lady once told me, about 42 years ago, “the shirt is closer than the skirt” (apparently an old Dutch proverb akin to “blood is thicker than water”). First things first. This country is now in a truly terrible mess. Our own people have needs that are not being addressed, still less satisfied. No wonder so many people say that they are “politically homeless”, and are unwilling to vote for any System party.
So it seems that the winds are set fair for a second Trump presidential term.

“Three in ten troops from across the Armed Forces are not fully fit for combat, official figures have revealed.“
[Daily Mail]
The MOD still claims that up to 50,000 Army people are fit for actual combat. Others say that 30,000 is a more realistic figure; some say as few as 20,000. Are they seriously suggesting taking on Russia, China and others simultaneously with that puny and probably ineffective force?
“A former leader of the Shin Bet domestic security force has said Israel will not have security until Palestinians have their own state, and Israeli authorities should release Marwan Barghouti, jailed leader of the second intifada, to direct negotiations to create one.
Ami Ayalon, a retired admiral who also commanded Israel’s navy and was wounded in battle and decorated for his service, also said destroying Hamas was not a realistic military goal, and the current operation in Gaza risked entrenching support for the group.
He came relatively late to his current views, after leaving the military where the enemy is just a target to be killed, he said. His position at Shin Bet required him to regularly meet Palestinians, including visiting PLO leader Yasser Arafat.
He made Palestinian friends, among them PA security chief Jibril Rajoub and Sari Nusseibeh, a philosophy professor from Jerusalem who can trace his family’s presence there back to the 7th century. “So can I tell him, OK, this land is mine and you are a visitor here? It is nonsense.”

It may be that, in a century or so, historians will look back on the early 21st Century and say “that was the time just before the last great wave of revolution and war, when everything changed forever“…

The above idiot-tweeter either has not considered the fact that literally hundreds of millions might have (under the present outdated rules) a “well-founded” or “valid” claim to remain in the UK once here… or does not care.
Not hyperbole. Fact. Hundreds of millions. All they have to do is set foot on UK shores.
Surely even tweeters such as the above (who probably thinks himself very clever) might think twice once a hundred million, or more, invade the UK? Or maybe such bien-pensants prefer not to think what kind of UK is already being created by migration-invasion? Or are such people out-and-out traitors, doing —or wanting to have done— more damage than old-style terrorists or spies could ever do?

The latest “grifter” to have been exposed more widely (he has been mentioned occasionally over the last few years on this blog— “read it here first”…). He thus joins other frauds and thieves such as “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas), “Supertanskiii” (surely the least interesting of the lot, socio-politically— entirely derivative and unoriginal), and others who have found a happy hunting ground or grift-mine on Twitter/X and other online sites.
Don’t you remember? He was as cringe as that Russ in Cheshire. Always fundraising and went by the name as man behaving dadly. Cringe account that’s now been outted as a grifter too.
I had forgotten about “Russ in Cheshire” (who seems in fact to be yet another one actually in or from Essex, unless I am mistaken). Russ-in-Cheshire is on a similar page to the others, but poses mainly as social or political commentator on the fringe of humour, and has written a book about politics or society. He even appeared on at least one TV quiz show (The Chase? Not sure; maybe it was Eggheads, now that I think about it). I think that his team even won some money.
The key to successful UK online “grifting” seems to be to avoid simply begging for money. The more cunning “grifter” pretends to be a kind of charity worker or philanthropic type, raising money for others and giving —what at least is presented as— good advice.
Thus “Bootstrap Cook” and her dog’s dinner “recipes”, “Man Behaving Dadly” and his charity stuff (with rather a lot of the proceeds shaven off for his own shekel-store) and so on. Not forgetting Julia Grace Patterson, with her “NHS champion” grifting, while taking in donations and selling facemasks etc. In her case, the USP is that she is actually a medical doctor (though she only worked as such for a couple of years).
I presume that that other prominent “grifter”, “Supertanskiii”, lacks the ability to produce any tangible output or activity, so restricts herself to swearing at “the Tories”. Amazingly, some people are satisfied with that alone, and are willing to send her money just for that! Utter mugs.
Going through the YouGov MRP data to add some tactical squeezing. If just one third of Lab-LD-Grn voters in England and Wales vote tactically for the strongest party, the result changes to: Con 69 (-100 on MRP) Lab 463 (+78) LD 70 (+22) Nat 28 Grn 1
I predict that tactical voting will play a big part in the 2024 General Election. What will weaken it, though, is that it is clear to more and more people that none of those Lib-Lab-Con System parties is worth a plugged nickel.
Also, there are those who will always vote for one System party rather than another, even when, in that particular constituency, the loyal voter’s own party has never come first, or even second.
Still, I think that, now that even former Conservative Party voters want rid of the Con Party in government, tactical voting for the least-objectionable alternative will be widespread.
That may mean, as the tweet implies, that the utterly unmeritorious LibDems may be able to gather in a pretty considerable number of MPs. I was thinking 30, maybe at peak 45, but the tweet above says 70 (they have 15 at present). If so, remarkable, looking at the untrustworthy rabble that the LibDems are.
You are going to be in for a very big surprise when Labour hardly shifts from the current policies being undertaken.
