Macfarlane Lang merged with another Scottish family-owned biscuit manufacturer, McVitie & Price to form United Biscuits in 1948.

I intend to continue to press the joint trade union, council & government working group to secure the Victoria Biscuit Works in Tollcross as a viable production site for any new owner to bring new life to this great site, with such an esteemed heritage in Scottish biscuit-making.
Globalism at work…again. That, and a country (the UK) where people are now taught from childhood to be ashamed of their race, culture, history and former Empire. Also, the fact that much of the UK economy is in the hands of various kinds of foreigners, in this case Turkish, but more often Chinese, Jews, whatever.
Could there be anything worse than unfunded tax cuts for the wealthy? Liz Truss has come up with the answer. Tax cuts for the wealthy funded by cuts to public services #kuenssberg
Lots of people Tweeting that only 80,000 Tory members voted for Liz Truss’ policies. Excuse me but no. She didn’t advertise her plans to cut taxes for top earners or much else that was in that mini-Budget. She has no mandate for any of this.
Remarkable, coming from a long-term Con mouthpiece and supporter.
Say, for e.g., a job or research grant applicant shows insufficient "support" (defined by who?) for "anti-racism" (defined by who?) they will not get job/grant. In this way academe becomes monoculture & guiding telos of truth is subverted. Also explains why so few call it out
The time is coming when free speech, open debate etc will be banned by stealth and Lilliputian ties. To a large extent, in the UK and elsewhere, it has already happened— in the msm, in publishing, in academia etc. All areas, incidentally, where the Jew-Zionists often hold sway.

“They are also the most highly-educated generation on record. This year, a record number of 435,000 18-year-olds in Britain —like my students— will arrive on campus. And this higher education, for many, helps to explain why, alongside the slightly older Millennials, they are also the most socially liberal generation in history.“
[Matt Goodwin blog].
The idea that attending a “university” (whether an ancient one or a 5-minute-old “McUniversity”) makes the attendee “highly-educated” is risible, looking at most of the graduates, let alone undergraduates.
“Consistently, Zoomers are the most supportive of Britain re-joining the European Union, the most likely to think immigration is having positive effects, and to voice strong support for rising diversity in all its forms. When I asked my students to name the most pressing problems facing the country today they either said climate change or racism. Nobody, interestingly, mentioned the economy.“
[Matt Goodwin blog].
Actually, his students sound like complete idiots. Obviously spouting the simplistic ideas pumped into them, for about 13 years, by semi-educated teachers, or via the BBC and other mass media..
“Many of these Zoomer graduates are also coming of age amid what philosopher John Gray has called ‘hyper-liberalism’ —and what others call ‘left modernism’, ‘progressive authoritarianism’, or ‘woke’ politics. While its supporters are often driven by good intentions, this is a more dogmatic, moralistic, and polarising brand of politics which promotes much looser definitions of terms such as ‘racism’ and much stricter, if not oppressive, speech codes that are used to try and curtail discrimination.”
“Personally, I suspect we are on the cusp of an entirely new cultural revolution in the West which will not only be driven by demands for more radical economic change but far more radical cultural and social change, too. And the Zoomers, as they trickle out of the universities into the institutions, will be in the driving seat of that revolution.“

Well, it may be possible to turn the current in a more social-national direction. If not, those people will not be required.

If that actually happened, we would have no social care, no functioning schools or hospitals, postal workers, junior doctors, supermarket workers – basically none of those keyworkers who we all clapped 2 summers ago.
This would be a good time for voters to ask themselves why a free-market idealogue committed to removing EU workplace regulation on pay, hours and safety might say she plans to create conditions that will encourage more foreign migrants into the job market.
…and all of [see above] Matt Goodwin’s eagerly “woke” students can then clap the “diversity” —and their own “tolerance”— as a torrent of cheap non-white labour continues to flood in, rendering their useless degrees about as valuable as a used bus ticket.

I am happy to see the fake “Conservative” Party about to go down the plughole, hopefully for good. Downside is, of course, that equally-fake and wrongheaded Labour will thereby grow stronger, in a basically rigged and binary system.
Still, if the Con Party can be reduced to somewhere below 200 MPs (1997-2005 levels), perhaps to as few as 100, that would be a good start to breaking up the whole rotten system.
‘Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get even worse.’
“Alt-right” schoolboy and “controlled opposition” GB News talking head, Tom Harwood, reports from the Con Party Conference.
What strikes me is how few delegates and visitors there are. Only the central part of the hall full. Would assess it as no more than 500 people. Not many, considering that the Conservative Party has 357 MPs.
Meanwhile, a Spectator scribbler thinks that the market should rule:
What do the Conservatives have to show for 12 years in office?
Police numbers were cut and restored. Promises to cut immigration were replaced by efforts to increase it. Austerity was replaced with massive spending. NHS performance steadily deteriorated:https://t.co/8dA0jPTBMY
Reverting to his energy price theme, he writes (I have highlighted the key fact):
“The core problem is that without Russian gas there isn’t enough energy to go around Europe. It’s a problem that has been compounded by the fact that half of France’s nuclear reactors have been offline this summer and Norway, a major supplier of hydroelectric power, has had record low rainfall. With limited supply and high demand, people are bidding against one another for energy use. Prices will rise, and keep rising, until demand is reduced sufficiently to match supply. That’s if the market is allowed to function.Part of the problem is that the Conservative party is just the Labour party on a five-year lag...
A far better idea would be to scrap the price cap entirely, letting households pay the full cost of their energy use while doling out massive quantities of cash to those on lower incomes or with higher needs. This would preserve price signals and the incentive to use less, while also giving people enough money to keep their homes warm.
…Instead, Liz Truss is apparently planning to freeze household bills at or below £1,971, well below the actual market price of supply; the wholesale price alone for October-December is expected to be £2,491. The Times carries a slightly different version of the story where the cap is allowed to rise to £2,500 – still below the total cost of electricity.“
[Sam Ashworth-Hayes, in the Spectator].
I agree with his first sentence, and have been —probably pointlessly— blogging (for 5 years) and tweeting (until the Jew fanatics had me expelled from Twitter in 2018) about how the UK should be getting closer to Russia and, indeed, leaving NATO in return for, (among many advantages) getting cheap or even (it is possible) near-free gas from Russia, which would solve our energy problem overnight.
Instead of which, “Boris”-idiot, and now the stupid Liz Truss “ho”, have been giving billions in various ways to the Jew dictatorship in Kiev, and even threatening Russia with nuclear attack via “our” (controlled in reality by the USA) Trident nuclear submarines.
In fact, that Spectator article is worth reading in full. Ashworth-Hayes concludes by looking at the wider background:
“Part of the problem is that the Conservative party is just the Labour party on a five-year lag; once Starmer suggested freezing prices, the blue team were inevitably going to follow along at some point. But a bigger problem is that the Tories are increasingly the party of the non-working and economically inactive.
The Tory vote is old. Pensioners don’t work and don’t pay much in taxes. They certainly don’t benefit from investments that pay off 20 years down the line. They’re very happy to rack up massive bills in the present day and pass them off to their grandchildren. And they vote in massive numbers.
This gives Conservative politicians strong incentives to find ways to take from the young and the future to give to the old and the present-day. It is toxic in the long term – we have a dysfunctional housing market, twisted to prop up pensioner assets, and high taxes to fund pensioner healthcare and pensions that are destroying family formation and living standards among young people. This is the only way the current Conservative party can see itself clinging on to power. Changing the prime minister isn’t enough to change that.“
Well, there is much truth in all that, and if the “grey vote” wakes up to the fact that Liz Truss —albeit in 1995, aged 20, so be it— suggested scrapping the State Pension entirely, then the Con Party will rapidly pass into history.
The one demographic that votes Con heavily and actually votes is the (mainly) English “grey vote”, however defined (I am really talking about the 60+ age group). If that goes, the Conservative Party also goes.

People who warn of the Tory’s cruelty are often accused of hyperbole. But I don’t know how else you can explain cutting benefits for the poorest to give tax cuts to the rich, all as bills rise. It’s not accidental. It’s cruelty. And it’s about time commentators admitted it.

Is there anything the Jews will not complain about? The fact is that Schindler’s Ark, the novel (yes, novel) on which the film Schindler’s List was based, is a work of fiction: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schindler%27s_Ark. The fact that Jews have “edited” the Wikipedia entry for Schindler’s List, the film of the book, to refer to the book as a “non-fiction novel” is meaningless, as is that term itself, the more usual term being “faction”.
The famous “faction” novel by Frederick Forsyth, The Day of the Jackal, is not “non-fiction” just because a few characters in it (eg President de Gaulle) actually existed. The book is still basically fiction; so is Schindler’s Ark and the film based on it.
As a matter of fact, Schindler’s Ark was not even written by someone who experienced Germany or Poland during WW2; it was written by an Australian, Thomas Keneally, who, at the material time, was 5-10 years old and who only left Australia for the first time in 1968. Schindler’s Ark was written and published in 1982. Keneally seems to have visited Poland in or about 1980, not long before the novel was published.

Saw the first episode of This England, following the pretty disastrous tenure, as Prime Minister, of “Boris” Johnson.
It kept the interest. The casting was remarkably good, headed by a performance by Kenneth Branagh that was amazingly like the real “Boris”, to look at. Other leading characters were also well-portrayed.
I felt that it could have been harder-hitting in some areas. Still, good overall.
People on £150,000 a year are of course not the “super-rich”, but they are still making several times the average, and 10x the amount earned by huge numbers of people in this country.

These latest manoeuvres could signal an increasingly desperate Mr Putin’s willingness to escalate the war following a series of embarrassing defeats on the battlefield, including the loss of a key city in Donetsk.
The war can be brought to a halt by the West/NATO/NWO simply cutting off supplies of money, arms and ammunition to the forces of the Kiev regime. The fake state and failed state of post-1991 Ukraine will then crumble within weeks if not days.
If escalation continues, there will eventually be a strategic nuclear exchange between NATO/NWO and Russia, after which anything could happen.

Reading some of the tweets by hard-core supporters of the “Bootstrap Cook”, it is clear that quite a few of them are mentally-odd people desperate to “support” (even if only via “slacktivism” and/or “clicktivism”) something vaguely (as they imagine)”progressive”.
For example, I saw some tweets by an elderly Swedish woman resident in the UK, possibly an aged lesbian. People like that just want to “believe”, a bit like the British supporters of Stalin in the 1930s. They do not want dissonant facts to disturb their belief-system.
If you have legitimate questions regarding Jack Monroe’s financial impropriety, pile ons and blockings, please do not dilute the message with bullying, sniping, irrelevant nasty messaging.
1. It’s not fair. 2. It totally blurs the real issues. 3. It adds to ‘victim narrative’.

Following this tweet, several Corbynists replied that I'm lying. This follows a day of foul abuse to me and others, yesterday in particular. It's there for anyone to see. I'm reminded that not only did Luciana & Ruth get foul abuse but were accused of lying about it.
“Foul abuse“? I still have a screenshot of a tweet from several years ago, in which that Lazarus individual tweeted to other Jew-Zionists (connected with the small but well-funded malicious Jew-Zionist pressure group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]) that I and another then Twitter user (the same pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018) should be given strychnine to drink. Nice “people”…
A pretty silly tweet from former ITN talking head Alastair Stewart. Talk about autres temps, autre moeurs— as a student, he was elected to the NUS on an extreme Marxist ticket. Just another hypocrite of that type, I suppose, like Tony Blair and others.
Imagine thinking that someone is OK financially just because that person has a telephone or laptop computer! I believe that it is virtually impossible even to claim State benefits, let alone get or hold down a job, without them. Stewart is only 4 years older than me, but in his tweets really shows his age, I think.
So a horrible little Jewish “oddity”, who has supported political selfishness for decades, was shouted at and supposedly assaulted. Quite funny but, more seriously, when you trample on people’s lives and rights, expect some pushback. I expect that other MPs will be watching such incidents with interest.
In case anyone feels too sorry for Fabricant:
“Fabricant has frequently caused controversy through his use of social media.[23] In June 2014, he came under criticism when, following an exchange between Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and Rod Liddle on Channel 4 News the evening before, he tweeted that he “could never appear” on a discussion programme with her, as he “would either end up with a brain haemorrhage or by punching her in the throat.“
[Wikipedia]
I admit that I also disapprove of “journalist” (ignoramus) Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.
Imagine understanding that thousands and thousands of people, including children, had been deliberately condemned to death by politicians in this country, but then when somebody shouts 'WANKER' at an MP, you say, "This is totally unacceptable and has no place in a democracy."
I'm really confused by people who claim to have understood just how morally repugnant and deceitful politicians have been over the past two and a half years – the horrific and inexcusable harm they endorsed – who then get all outraged and upset when they see one being harassed.
“Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”: an assessment
I have blogged (briefly) previously a few times about the person known as “Jack Monroe” (originally Melissa Hadjicostas, half-Greek Cypriot), whose rather clever nom de plume is “Bootstrap Cook”.
The name Jack Monroe is now her official name, it having been adopted by deed poll.
In the past, I was content to be at least neutral towards “Bootstrap Cook”, in that I felt that anyone putting almost anything into the public domain that might help the millions of financially-struggling people in the UK deserved at least a chance.
Incidentally, this blog is written in the English language, and therefore does not refer to a woman (whatever her views or proclivities) as “they” or “them”.
“Ideological” criticism of “Bootstrap Cook” has come mainly from two directions. The first group would be those connected to or supportive of the “Conservative” regimes of 2010-present. They tend to say that there is no justification for the campaigning of “Bootstrap Cook” to raise State benefits etc, and that any food poverty that exists exists because the individuals subject to it cannot “budget” properly, or do not know how to cook cheap wholesome food.
An ignorant point of view (though not without a small kernel of truth, as with many basically lying narratives), which infuriates many, especially when expressed by the likes of Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the MP who has also been a huge expenses blodger and fraudster, and who claimed vast amounts on his Parliamentary expenses (even a £39 hotel breakfast) while —as Secretary of State for the DWP— taking money away from people living in real poverty.
The second group who tend to criticize “Bootstrap Cook” are those who agree with much of her campaigning on benefits etc, but who say that she actually “enables” attacks on benefit recipients by reason of her claims that a family of 4 can be fed well on £20 a week or less.
Now, however, a third group has joined the fray, being those who claim that they and/or others have been taken for a ride by “Bootstrap Cook”, and that she is a “grifter”, or even an outright fraud, who has sold goods and services which were never delivered. These critics also claim that much of the “Bootstrap Cook” back-story is untrue, or embellished.
For example, it is said that “Bootstrap Cook” was either never in poverty herself, or was so for no more than 18 months. It is said that at least part of her financial difficulties were caused by her own (apparently past) alcohol and/or drug abuse. It is said that she makes up implausible stories about her past financial predicament, such as “having to” sell her little son’s beloved dinosaur toy to raise money (really? How much money would that raise? £1? £2? And how cruel is that, assuming the story to be true?).
It is also said that her parents are not badly-off financially, that they own buy-to-let property, and that her paternal grandfather was a millionaire. In other words, that “Bootstrap Cook” always had a financial lifeline. I have no idea whether, or to what extent, that may be, or may have been, the case.
Recently, following a storm of criticism on Twitter, “Bootstrap Cook” deleted her Twitter account, though others claim that she is merely taking a 40-hour “rest” from Twitter, and will return. Why 40 hours and not (as with Jesus Christ) 40 days, or whatever, I have no idea.
One aspect that interested me, as a former barrister, was the tendency of “Bootstrap Cook” to threaten some of her critics with legal action. A few years ago, “Bootstrap Cook” sued Katie Hopkins in libel.
Ms. Hopkins had libelled “Bootstrap Cook” entirely mistakenly as to the facts, had no defence whatever, and should have backed down and got out with minimal damage when she could have but, like many maximalisti, found sorry the hardest word, and so was hammered: £24,000 in damages, and very large legal costs. Ms. Hopkins had to sell her house in St. Leonard’s (the best residential district in Exeter) in order to pay those legal costs.
“Bootstrap Cook” retained as her solicitor Mark Lewis, the Zionist Jew who now lives in Israel, though he has also a professional foothold in London. His no-win no-fee cases have often been controversial.
I have to wonder how nice a person “Bootstrap Cook” is, if she is on friendly terms with someone such as Lewis.
As soon as people started suggesting, a month or two ago, that “Bootstrap Cook” was somewhere between “grifter” and fraudster, out came the Twitter threat that Mark Lewis and libel would be wheeled out (frankly, not so much of a threat— by no means have all of Lewis’s cases been brought to a successful conclusion, and when he was censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority about 4 years ago, his Counsel said that his fine should be reduced because his only possessions were his clothes, a mobility scooter. and a private pension worth £70 a week).
In fact, when “Bootstrap Cook” threatened libel action against Conservative Party MP Lee Anderson [Con, Ashfield] (in May of this year), nothing ever came of it, as far as I know:
“Food journalist and activist Jack Monroe hinted at legal action against Anderson after he commented in an interview that “She’s taking money off some of the most vulnerable people in society and making an absolute fortune on [sic] the back of people”.[36] [Wikipedia].
The Guardian says “sues“, but the Independent said “hints at suing“, and I have seen nothing on the Mark Lewis Twitter output to the effect that he ever was “instructed” (the Guardian, again) on the matter. He may have been, he may not have been. I might add that all the news reports are from 15-16 May 2022; nothing since then.
Was Anderson right, though? As I have said, I was willing to cut “Bootstrap Cook” some slack, because in recent years, the past ~15 years, the social security system has become inadequate, pay for work has also become generally inadequate, and millions are struggling both to eat and keep sheltered and warm. My view was that any useable advice was, well, useful.
I still think that (despite the fact that, to me, many of the recipes of “Bootstrap Cook” do look like a dog’s dinner, and despite the fact that many disagree with her costings etc).
More serious criticism is that she has actually been making a pretty good living out of Patreon donations, while never or rarely providing the extras offered in exchange.
When I last looked, “Bootstrap Cook” had at least 800 Patreon donors giving a minimum of £1 a month. £800 a month. In itself not bad. When you consider that the suggested minimum is £3 a head, the total increases to £2,400 a month (perhaps). I have seen a tweet where the tweeter claims, truthfully or otherwise, to have been donating £44 a month. Well, you see the point. “Bootstrap Cook” must have an income from Patreon alone of between £800 and (?) perhaps as much as £8,000 a month. Or more. That’s before one takes into account book sales, other donations, paid (?) TV appearances, other appearances etc. We do not know.
Not that “Bootstrap Cook” claims poverty, these days. No, she claims, as I understand it (and perhaps truthfully) a degree of “precariousness” in her life and finances, and she is certainly not alone in that. It is almost the norm in the Britain of 2022.
“Bootstrap Cook” has a number of defence mechanisms. One is to threaten defamation actions, but the more usual tactic is to claim the shield of disability, and she has about two dozen options there.
A further defence tactic is, I read, to set her fanatical fans (she apparently calls them “flying monkeys“) onto any critics, and I have certainly seen tweets where mentally-disturbed fans have come close to suggesting violence against anyone daring to utter critical words.
The problem here is that “Bootstrap Cook” has become a totem for a certain tribe of virtue-signallers. Not really “the poor” but more the sort of people who like to think that they are socially-progressive etc. Facts do not matter to those people, belonging to the “right” tribe does. cf. “Covid”, Ukraine, “Black Lives Matter” and, of course, “FBPE/Remain/Rejoin” etc.
When you consider that someone who claims to be able to feed a family of 4 for £20 a week might be said to be, arguably or in effect, saying that UK benefits are perfectly OK and need not be increased, is that really something positive or not?

Why on earth would any Tory politico want to silence Jack Monroe? She plays straight into their message that ‘the poor’ can eat on £20/wk and are just too thick to budget & cook. Plus, she has made little to no impact on public policy. (Rhetorical tweet, obvs!)
Claiming you can't afford to put the hot water on, have unscrewed the lightbulbs and are using solar lights, and haven't bought shampoo for two years in order to gain internet points and cash donations, is also wrong.
Giving people "money-saving" advice that is going to cost them *more* money is wrong.
Not making an effort to make sure people understand that you've mistakenly given the wrong advice and pointing people to more accurate advice, is really, really wrong.
I have very good intentions. I *intend* to write book reviews and advice for people querying, to be supportive of other writers, especially those newly agented.
I don't actually do that, though. And because I don't, I don't expect to be held up or praised for it.
Jack Monroe wasn't hounded off of Twitter because of some anaemic roast potatoes. She's left because too many people were raising questions about her lucrative Patreon, murky charitable donations and questionable finances. Jesus, people are gullible.
As many have noted, this whole Bootstrap Cook thing is more like a creepy cult than anything. It’s as if a lot of fairly affluent or at least not poor people have decided that supporting “Bootstrap Cook” —right or wrong— validates their evenings of going out, their Netflix subscription, their holidays in Cuba or Costa Rica, their new cars, and in fact their whole comfortable existence.
In fact, it reminds me of the “indulgences” sold by the Roman Catholic Church before the Reformation.
Not that that is necessarily the fault of the “Bootstrap Cook” herself.
I've not much to say on the Jack Monroe issue except that if a government minister tries to tell someone how to survive on a box of cornflakes and a tin of sardines, they tend to get pilloried for it.
(Past caring if Jack Monroe's fans abuse me as did for 48 hours few week back).
Authentic, knowledgeable women in poverty now could offer useful, genuine insights into experience but overlooked and devalued while Monroe's more acceptable celebrity face of poverty is prioritised.
Well, if you can believe that the “royal” Mulatta is a sadly-abused “princess”, then believing that a poverty campaigner, who seems to be making “a nice little earner” out of it and naive followers, is a modern Joan of Arc, must be easy enough.
It was absolutely nothing to do with “the far right” and everything to do with the revelations that she’s lied about a lot of things and taken money off a lot of people in very shady ways.
Let's say you agree to pay the Times £x per month and in exchange they promise to send you a code to access their online issue – but they never send the codes. Would you see a problem there? Read the Patreon page and see if you agree the comparison.https://t.co/LUPccSWorV
No John, it appears that you don’t understand what it is. Each payment tier system means a certain amount of rewards/content in return. Jack has received money every month & has not honoured the obligations that Jack pledged. No rewards/content for TWO years.
How had she helped others? I’m seeing a lot of upset people who have given her money over the years. They’re feeling ripped off. pic.twitter.com/H6Y00rtGVs
There's a whole community of Jack watchers on a website called Tattle. Any updates are there. Have to say, they don't seem a right-wing crowd. Better characterised as working-class mums who seem pissed off about what they see as grifting.
Her recipes are shit and she only keeps within budget because the portions are toddler sized. Totally dishonest and unsustainable. No one uses her recipes though, because as mentioned, they're shit.
Because you need to be a parent in order to… count calories. Some of Jack Monroe's meals are less than 200 calories per portion. Her best meals are in the region of 400-500 per portion. It's not enough. You too can eat cheaply, if you starve.
Well, that’s enough. There are hundreds of other tweets in similar vein.
As blogged previously, my view is that Bootstrap Cook’s stuff may well be of interest to many, though —as already said— much of it looks to me like carbohydrate-heavy food often presented like a dog’s dinner.
I do not think that “Bootstrap Cook”set out to defraud anyone, and it may be that she has no such intention now, but it does seem that legitimate questions about her fundraising have been asked by a number of donors, but not answered by her.
If people think that they are somehow accomplishing something by subsidizing the not-uncomfortable lifestyle of that person, then that is their business, in a sense, but it is legitimate for others, arguably more clear-minded, to ask “where is the money going?“, “is any of this true?“, and “are people being tapped for money under false pretences?“.
I can also see that her fans seem to be, almost entirely, not the truly poor but more those who are not “poor” but who support her “non-binary” profile, the “gender bender” aspects, and the general “government must do more for the poor” activism aspect.
I think that it is legitimate to question, not only “where the money went” (or goes), but also, whether in reality Bootstrap Cook has actually influenced government, or large enterprises such as ASDA (it seems that one or two supermarket chains were actually paying her for advice or consultancy or something).
Poverty is a huge problem in the UK now. Anyone claiming to be expert in it must expect searching inquiry.
Is this all really just a morning TV virtue-signal writ large? After all, at the end of the day, the decisive question is what government does or fails to do.
I personally have no animus against “Bootstrap Cook”, but my view of her has certainly become far less positive over the years since I first heard of her.
I do think, also, that if you claim that a person can feed healthily on £5 a week, you are really playing into the hands of swine such as Dunce Duncan Smith, Esther McVey, Therese Coffey etc.
I think that anyone wanting to help “the poor” could probably do so more effectively via GoFundMe or local foodbanks than by subsidizing the lifestyle of “Bootstrap Cook”. Perhaps I am mistaken, but that is my firm view and opinion.
On a wider point, we have in the UK this msm thing whereby TV channels or shows like to have a “go-to” list. Brexit discussion? Call Farage. Free speech discussion? Call Toby Young. Poverty discussion? Call Jack Monroe. And so on.
Thus you get “activists” who are really just “famous for being famous activists”. The Caroline Criado-Perez phenomenon. A hundred thousand or a million Twitter followers but, outside Twitter etc, really unknown and without real influence.
Of course, the msm now like to feature (supposed) “experts” who are, if possible, young, female, and black. “Bootstrap Cook” is not black, but as “Meatloaf” once opined, “two out of three ain’t bad“…
Well, there it is. I prefer to concentrate on other and larger issues really, but felt that I should examine the above first, after the recent Twitter storm in a teacup.
For clarification purposes this is a live poll so results don't necessarily represent public opinion. However, the latest results are: * still 81% re bankers bonus cap * still 82% re 45% tax cut for the rich * 88% re recall of parliament * 87% re govt loss of control of economy
All that the doomed “Conservative” Party had to do, to consign Labour to the bin, was select a leader to succeed “Boris”-idiot who was even slightly competent. It failed to do so. Endex.

The implications are clear: either the Con MPs get rid of Liz Truss as soon as they can, and put in someone who at least looks semi-competent, or the Con Party will be near-finished by next year. Same goes, of course, for Kwarteng, Cleverly, and Coffey.
Jack Monroe pulls apart tweets that suggest people can live off a cheap bag of pasta or oats (rightly so) but SHE reinforces this ideology with her £20 weekly Asda shops. They do not contain enough nutrional/calorific value for one person, never mind 2 to 3 people!
Look at ANY of the weekly shops she has posted. There is a good reason she doesn't follow it through with a FULL meal plan for the week. She states a few times that she'll post a meal plan or recipes for the week later on but they never appear. The idea that you can continually
COVID held a mirror up to society. As most of us were forced to slow down, we noticed it was not the mega rich or obscenely paid super stars that we relied on, but the dismissively termed ‘unskilled’ front line workers. We can’t now allow them to be forced into ‘working poverty.’
Ha ha. Yes, that ghastly little bastard Schofield is one of the worst people on TV in the UK; and, yes, it is peak contemporary Britain, just like…well, there are just too many examples around…

A good example was seen the other night. A new detective drama called Karen Pirie.
Set partly a few decades ago, partly in the contemporary era, even the older setting, in St. Andrews, Scotland, decades ago, had a black character appear.

One a small Scottish woman, the other a black or half-caste…
I do not have a great deal of patience with films or TV shows. If they do not catch the interest after 15 mins, switch— OFF. I gave this one 20 mins. A bloody bore, poorly conceived and worse-acted.
This evening, I saw an old episode of Wycliffe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wycliffe_(TV_series)]. All characters more or less credible, and what I like best about Wycliffe is that it manages to catch the atmosphere of Cornwall well, from what I recall from when I lived there. It does not rely on cliche (most of the time, at least).

In the month since I wrote about “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, the storm around her murky financial arrangements has become fiercer yet. A few tweets:
Oh look, yet mire Jack Monroe bootstrapcook lies exposed. She's gifted donations to fund legal action and not even followed any pre-action protocol & got in touch. That money's been spent…. ❄️❄️❄️❄️⛄️ https://t.co/LrXqDsDB1b
In light of Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook's latest "working class" lies, it's worth retweeting her dad's comments regarding his professional landlording, which also reveal he has no bank debt, ie mortgages. Not surprising given he inherited 3 of his millionaire dad's 12 properties. https://t.co/7BrPnLiVtA
He is sometimes described, inaccurately, as having become a “pro bono” lawyer who works for free, out of quasi-charitable motives, whereas he in fact seems to work on a “no win no fee” basis, which is not at all the same thing.
“Jack Monroe” has tweeted that she still has several/many months in which to sue the MP Lee Anderson and the politico Martin Daubney. In theory, up to a year after the alleged libel, but the relevant Practice Directions do say that the courts will still expect any claim to be made expeditiously, so not, e.g., 10 or 11 months after the alleged libel.
The courts may (probably will) penalize even a successful defamation claimant (“plaintiff”, as was) in both award and costs if the action is not brought expeditiously.
Why are you tagging bootstrapcrook? ,she is literally doing the tories work by claiming you can feed a family on 20 quid a week, she has ripped of 1000s of working class people who have been paying into her patreon and received NOTHING, people are complaining and getting refunds

A viral video depicting a male teacher wearing large prosthetic breasts in view of young students can be traced to Oakville Trafalgar High School in Ontario.
The “trans” nonsense (about 99% is nonsense) is just part of a campaign by secretive cabals to destroy white European-race society, a campaign being carried on across a broad front.
“Trans” stuff, the more general LGBTQXYZ stuff, “Black Lives Matter” and general “anti-racist” (99% anti-white) propaganda, most of the “climate change” propaganda, anti-British Empire propaganda, the blacks inserted into every “British” (Swedish, Danish, German etc) TV show, news broadcast, TV drama, TV soap, and TV ad, as well as the long-running “holocaust” fakery, hoaxes and propaganda, the “Covid” “panicdemic”, and now all the “I stand with Ukraine” hullabaloo.

“Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”
I asked Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook some questions, and she didn't respond, but immediately blocked me. I don't think I was rude or unreasonable. Are all questions 'a smear campaign'? How is this echo chamber helpful to the people she claims to "support"? People like me.
Feeling rather low. Blocked by Jack Monroe. I only asked a question. (Not about her sinus congestion, or playing in the snow.) Just a small request, re: the ONS And where'd that money go?
As I have blogged previously, I myself hold no animus against “Jack Monroe” (originally Melissa Hadjicostas— half Greek-Cypriot), aka “the Bootstrap Cook”. It may be that her activity is of use to some people.
I myself am unlikely to use much of her work, partly because some of the recipes she puts out (and that I have read…admittedly a fairly small number) result in dishes that (to me, or in my opinion, looking at photos) look like a dog’s dinner, and partly because the recipes seem, often, to be heavy on carbohydrate, which I think is not good in a country plagued by type-2 diabetes (though I take her point, made on TV, about it being better for people to eat something not completely healthy than to eat nothing, and that it is wrong that so many in our country have to make that choice).
[actually, in the interest of fairness, I just looked at some of her other recipes, and many arein fact not“a dog’s dinner” to look at, though I have to say that a number do still give me that impression; and yet others are scarcely “recipes” at all, such as some very basic pasta suggestions].
I have not wanted to involve myself in the recent furore about whether or not “Bootstrap Cook” has been a little —indeed, more than a little— “economical with the truth” about a number of matters from her own history, and about whether she has been, or is, financially “transparent”.
I have my own opinion, based purely on what I have read on Twitter and elsewhere, and suffice to say that I shall certainly not be donating to, or buying from, the “Bootstrap Cook”. In any case, she probably has a good deal more money than me, again based on what I have read. Still, if people want to give her money, and cannot find a deserving person or cause instead, well, that is their concern, assuming that they are compos mentis.
I can see why women do not want men like this in their intimate spaces. I mean, I would rather not have him in men's spaces either. But sadly, that's where he belongs. Third spaces look more appealing, suddenly. Either he can use them, or maybe I will. https://t.co/9dfIBVNVBK
Loonies like that green-hair seem to be coming out (so to speak) of the woodwork all over the place now. Often nasty, often (in my view) mentally disturbed. This is destructive of society. I suppose that, in the days of the Reich, such odd and unpleasant individuals would probably have ended up in a mental hospital (or, perhaps, a labour camp).
The magpie is one of the most intelligent animals to exist. Their brain-to-body-mass ratio is outmatched only by that of humans. Their playful, curious spirit drives adaptation and exploration
The one good thing about Boris-idiot’s time as Prime Minister was that at least some attention was given to animal welfare, wildlife protection, and the environment. Liz Truss has no feeling for that, so even those small steps are not to continue.
Maybe, in the end, one can find at least one opinion by those in the enemy camp with which one can actually agree. It is indeed rare for me to agree with anything said by very active Jewish Zionist, David Collier.
As for that ghastly African “professor” based in the USA (an untenured associate professor at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh), I blogged about her tasteless and absurd views last week.

“The poor are always with us“, according to Jesus Christ but, at the same time, policy can either reduce their numbers to a minimum, or expand them to a tenth, a quarter, or even half or more of the population. Policy is key. Governmental action or inaction is key.

I was wondering why some “dark-skinned man” would do that. No-one has as yet been charged (at time of writing), so I feel free to speculate.
There is a “conspiracy theory” around that, for some reason unexplained, the coffin does not contain the body of the late Queen.
Was the man arrested trying to “prove”, by finding the coffin empty, or without a body, that the late Queen has been buried already, as required, in particular, in Judaism? I do not know, of course, though my understanding is that the 24-hour rubric for Jewish burial is in fact not rigid, and can be extended for days, or even longer. On the face of it, that theory seems unlikely to be correct.
In any case, the arrested person could not (I presume) have actually opened the coffin. The lid (again, my presumption) must have been screwed down and/or sealed.
Schizophrenia is far more prevalent in the blacks and browns as compared to white Europeans. Maybe that is the explanation for what has happened.
Sometimes, mentally-disordered persons (of any/all races) carry out such attacks. A crazed ex-monk hijacked a plane in France about 40 years ago. His demand was that the Pope release the details of the “Third Secret of Fatima” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Secrets_of_F%C3%A1tima#Third_secret]. I believe that the hijacker was arrested and incarcerated in a mental hospital, at least at first. He was imprisoned later.

A commentator on the blog reminded me of the clip below, not seen for a long time:
[when not accepted as a “world leader”…]
I still think that the most telling thing about Greta Thunberg is how the decadent mainstream media, politicians etc at least pretend to take this uneducated and afflicted girl (now 19) as some kind of sage, when actually she has nothing to offer. It says something about the world we are in today.
I thought that it was worth reposting those tweets, which refer to the Twitter storm around “Jack” Monroe, aka “Bootstrap Cook” (mentioned in yesterday’s blog).
I have no particular animus against “Bootstrap Cook”, and I should imagine that many find her recipes and other advice very useful [see https://cookingonabootstrap.com/category/recipes-food/], but it is clear that she herself is not (now) in what most people would regard as poverty.
Was I myself “in poverty” when I returned to London? It certainly seemed so!
Think living in a single room in a flat (provided by a friend of a friend— eventually, and very belatedly, months later, paid for by Housing Benefit). Think living largely off tiny State benefit for 3-4 months (monies also delayed for weeks). Think having to be a little bit “creative” in finding ways to travel around London, and equally “creative” in finding out how to increase supply of food and reading material (mainly books).
Yet only a few years before, I had quite often been paid, as Counsel, £1,000 or more for often quite brief (less than half a day) appearances in the High Court or elsewhere.
Later, living in the former Soviet Union in 1996-97, my home was a kind of large penthouse with a very wide wraparound balcony, I had a former MVD car and driver to ferry me to my office etc, a Rolex Seadweller on my wrist, and I rarely carried less than USD $5,000 on my person.
Incidentally, barristers reading this might sneer at the modesty of those High Court fees (perhaps a tenth or a twentieth of the fees some now get and even back then received), but this was 1993-95, nearly 30 years ago, and I was only just out of pupillage (on-the-job training). Anyway, it seemed good at the time to me.
What those born into wealth usually fail to know, having never experienced it, is how quickly a comfortable lifestyle can disappear, without personal capital or family money as a safety net.
When I was living on pennies —and my wits— in the London of March-June 1998, I often walked past Julie’s restaurant in Notting Hill, a restaurant patronized by film stars and other “celebrities”, and a place which I had previously visited several times, only 2-3 years before, and arriving in a large white Mercedes (a girlfriend’s car).
Maybe 3 years later, in 1998, I would have been unable to buy a coffee in the same restaurant, and I wondered whether those staring out of the windows could perceive somehow just how poor I was (maybe a subjective and resentful thought: after all, the Rolex may have gone, but I was still clad in an Austin Reed overcoat and Dents leather gloves etc).
There is no need for me to say more about that very pinched time in my life. Adolf Hitler had it worse, in the Vienna of 1909-1912. Eventually, my several months of poverty came to an end and then, less than a year after I had returned penniless to London, I was spending time living in a villa in the Caribbean, with a private beach (in effect), though those sometimes pleasant months sadly did not become sybaritic years (though I did spend much of 1999 in and around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico— several Caribbean islands, and the Gulf Coast of Florida).
I later had more ups and downs, but that is enough for today.
I do not know a great deal in detail about “Jack” Monroe, the Bootstrap Cook, but I would guess that she knows a lot about “precarious” life in the Britain of today. Occasional poverty, occasional plenty, but not much security either way.
Many many people in Britain in 2022 are part of that “precariat”. This has political implications. Labour was the party of the industrial “proletariat”, mainly, a class which is now all but non-existent. “Bootstrap Cook”, leaving aside her personal predilections, is in that sense far more typical of the masses than would be the Soviet-style miner, rail worker, or other member of the organized labour force, insofar as such people still exist in the UK.
If there were a credible social-national movement in the UK, the “Bootstrap Cook” would probably not support it, but the “precariat” in general would, especially as inflation, low pay, and low State benefits all start to bite.
However I am always baffled by the house sale she had which made £3000. I'm in my mid 30s and I don't think the 2nd hand value of everything I own gets to £3k, and her sale was 10 years ago. She either had a lot of stuff or it was all very expensive stuff.
…on the other hand, Bootstrap Cook is, after all, from Essex, the home of “bling”…
Meanwhile, though the @norfolkchatter1 Twitter account has disappeared, the storm around the Bootstrap Cook has, if anything, intensified, with many Twit-people (including the terminally “woke”) supporting her, but also with many others either criticizing her or demanding to know exactly how much capital or income she really has at her disposal, and asking whether she is exploiting people who donate to her when they really cannot afford to do so.
[Incidentally, I do not know anyone involved in either of the two GoFundMe appeals above; I just happened to see them].
“Covid” “panicdemic”
Looks like reality has started, finally, to break through…
If thousands had been killed, millions more injured, families torn apart, economy & health service wrecked, the moral fabric of society left in tatters and I was the little shit who paid for it all, I probably wouldn’t dare pipe up later to say, “Well that was stupid wasn’t it.”
And it’s not as if they can claim not to have heard us. They very much acknowledged us. They referred to us, labelled us, othered us, chastised us, sacked us, cancelled us, censored us.
Truly tragic. Must have been the heat of global warming, or car exhaust fumes, or competition stress, or too much adrenaline, or smoking a cigarette when he was 15. Certainly not connected with pzifer jabs, because the political & media elite say its not.https://t.co/hPCyFqeznK
Sometimes I wonder what, WHAT, would make the mass of British people wake up to the “panicdemic”, the nonsense measures such as facemask-wearing that were part of the scam, or to the “support Ukraine” propaganda or, as in that tweet, the very real dangers of the “Covid” “vaccines”, but I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that nothing, nothing at all, will awaken the masses. A “victory” by a football team, or whatever absolute shite is on “reality” (unreality) TV that week, and the real and important issues are forgotten again.
Maybe after the nuclear war with Russia that so many have been brainwashed into (as they imagine) wanting to see, the survivors will see their reality more clearly.
[“In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic.”—Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf]

One has to respect the fortitude of those Ukrainian defenders at the Azovstal plant, but they were just “useful idiots” for Zelensky’s Jew-Zionist Kiev regime.

True. Where were they when I watched a broken man in tears, at one of the London demos? Harassed and jostled by police as he sobbed, trying to explain, that Govt measures had destroyed his marriage and the business that had taken him 30 yrs to build. I just can't bear it…
As to the “Jack Monroe” person, I think that some of her activity, trying to advise impoverished people about cooking very cheap food, is all to the good, but her apparent support for the State’s “panicdemic” measures is or was, in my opinion, negative. She was hardly alone, though.
All or almost all those prominent in the msm or on social media supported the lockdown/shutdown(s), the supposed “vaccine” etc. Many have now switched (most of) their virtue-signalling to “Ukraine” flag-waving.

Well, not me personally! In fact, the title refers rather to those who have tried to attack me over recent years.
Beyond those who seem to be obsessed with me personally (see below), I have noticed over the past 7-8 years on Twitter (my own account was closed down in 2018) that the platform does seem to attract many people who are mentally not normal in various ways. Indeed, many of those seem to take pride in their flawed mentalities and either proudly proclaim themselves to be this, that or the other, or frequently describe their conditions, medication, battles with the DWP or NHS etc.
I tend to look mostly at the more political side of Twitter, and there one does find a lot of mental instability and worse, and that particularly applies to those supporting Zionism, as well as “antifa” idiots. Most who attack me have mental problems (admitted by the individuals themselves).
When I had a Twitter account, one particular little bumboy even incited his relatively few followers to pour petrol over me and immolate me. I could not be bothered to report it to the police (or Twitter) at the time, though Twitter did suspend the pathetic degenerate’s account for a week. I daresay that he will get what’s coming to him in the end, one way or another. He will probably die of AIDS or something before any punishment comes to him from elsewhere. In the meantime, the same unpleasant little blot on humanity still tweets about me and how “evil” I supposedly am, though he does so only occasionally now. He thinks that he is anonymous and hidden, perhaps. He recently tweeted that he is “absolutely fine” about Nigel Farage being attacked with battery acid. Are the police interested? Probably not, since he has not posted rude pictures of one of the tame thick princelings and/or the Royal Mulatta, and has not tweeted anything “anti-Semitic”. One law for all? Hardy ha ha.
Dr. Tim G. Stevens
There again, we see, here below, another nuisance troll who spends time on Twitter: Dr. Tim G. Stevens, NHS consultant psychiatrist from Essex (via South Africa and Newcastle). He tends to tweet in the Jewish and Zionist interest, despite not being Jewish (certainly not full-Jew). He is in favour of mass immigration in the UK and was anti-apartheid as a Trotskyist student in his native South Africa. All the same, it seems that he has no desire to return to build the wonderful new “rainbow nation” South Africa, ruled as it is by an increasingly violent and corrupt African majority rule “democracy”. He is obviously capable enough of seeing the folly in that, but look at this absurd and recent tweet!
Seventy-one years ago today. The Windrush generation enriched Britain in ways future historians will celebrate. https://t.co/kgFsAuAXq4
At first, Dr. Tim seemed to regard me as a person simply espousing an ideology with which he disagreed, but over time he has become virulently hostile, as can be seen in his tweets here below.
That generally holds true, but doesn't account for the Nazi high command. Or Ian Millard.
Dr. Tim’s own mental health seems to have deteriorated between 2016 and 2018, looking at a selection of his many tweets about me. Just my honest opinion, of course. He starts off by being quite thoughtful in 2016, but by 2018 is all-out offensive and stupid.
Extreme right-wing Muslim-hating, Jew-hating Hitler lickspittle Ian Millard gets the horn. pic.twitter.com/IxVYs6FRyw
Looking back at 2016, I wonder whether Dr. Tim started to understand that, in the 1930s, it was the norm for at least the leading or influential National Socialists to be highly educated, intelligent etc. The same is in fact true in 2019 of many social national people, but the Jew-Zionists, the “antifa” idiots etc usually want to portray them as “knuckledraggers”. Perhaps it is this cognitive dissonance that has sent Dr. Tim off the rails, apparently. He has recently been tweeting about how he has clinical depression and is on medication for it.
Even in 2016, Dr. Tim seemed obsessed by me and a couple of other tweeters:
In 2016, I am not (yet?) a “knuckledragger”, but by 2017 Dr. Tim thinks that I am a “sad sack“. Ironic, in view of his own (though only recently publicly-admitted) depressive condition…
In fact, and in case anyone is curious, I myself have never been diagnosed with any mental illness or condition…
An odd thing, though, for a psychiatrist to tweet about someone. Not very professional. I am aware that he has also made very unprofessional comments about others in recent years. Examples: Jo Stowell, photographer, formerly of Bristol, for one; also about Alison Chabloz, the persecuted satirist, singer and songwriter.
Dr. Tim attempts a little cod-diagnosis by tweet. Pathetic. Is this the sort of diagnostic skill he uses on his Chelmsford patients?
Obsessed Dr. Tim replies to someone on Twitter who defended me:
I think I know what your answer is, but for tidiness’s sake I just want to make sure I can file you correctly with your cronies Carter, Millard and Chabloz. Otherwise I’ll have to start a new folder.
2017: Ironic. Self-described depressive case (and actually on medication) “Dr. Tim” describes me (never diagnosed with any mental problem or illness) as a “sad sack”.
It does seem rather unprofessional, though, for an NHS consultant psychiatrist to describe anyone as a “sad sack“. It seems to indicate an odd attitude to his own psychiatric patients, particularly those suffering (like Dr. Tim himself) from depression.
Dr. Tim is also a hypocrite:
Dear Dr Curtis
I often attack Corbyn. I have mental health problems.
Oh, and I’m a psychiatrist.
Parse that. And while you’re doing it, take a moment to reflect on GMC and Royal College guidance re using mental illness as a political smear.
Dr. Tim is perhaps angry because my instinct told me that he might be partly-Jewish and I tweeted about it once, several years ago. An educated guess based on his general look (not conclusive by any means), his attitude (he not infrequently tweeting about how others envy his professional status and supposed “success”, for example), his constant tweeting about “anti-Semitism” etc, and his being accepted openly as “one of us” by outright Jew-Zionist trolls on Twitter.
In the past, Dr. Tim claimed that one of his grandfathers was an SS officer who died at Stalingrad. At other times, he seems to have tweeted that the same officer was in the Wehrmacht and not the SS. Either way, he tweeted that he was ashamed of that officer, who (assuming any of it is true) seems to have perished defending Europe from Stalinism.
Now it seems that Dr. Tim believes himself to be part-Jew; he has been tweeting about it:
Today I sent off one of those genetic testing kit things.
Dr . Tim tweets further (in answer to tweeters who have been arguing with him over his enthusiastic support for controversial electro-shock “therapy”):
I suffer from recurrent depression, which thankfully has never been severe enough to require hospitalisation. If that happened, I’d want ECT.
and Dr Tim admits that he often cannot think logically or coherently by reason of his mental condition:
Not fishing for sympathy here at all. But has anyone else who’s suffered from depression noticed that, while the morning is utter torture, the afternoon brings an urge to communicate with people which results in faux pas, because you can’t think straight?#depression
Tweeter “@cdaargh”, above, formerly known as “Christine of Aargh”, is someone with mental problems, and who supplements her prescribed medication with self-medication (whisky). She is not known for her diplomacy, as evidenced by this amusingly crazed (though understandable) tweet to the then Prime Minister, David Cameron-Levita, in 2015:
[Update, 14 October 2025: now that “cdaargh” has locked her Twitter/X account and stopped tweeting (since 2022), her amusingly-crazed tweets cannot be read, but I cannot fail to commemorate one of her best ones, in which she described the then Prime Minister, David Cameron-Levita, as “you pus-faced shitlizard wankgoblin“. Legendary…].
@cdaargh” linked up with a minor Jewish academic called Ben Gidley, “@bengidley”, who was was secretly using the Twitter name “@inthesoupagain” to troll people (Twitter suspended the account permanently in the end, after which “Soup” —Gidley— started an identical account called “@antinazisunited”, now also apparently suspended, though tweets earlier than May 2019 are still extant). He also seems to run Twitter account “@bobfrombrockley” and other accounts, a fact which has often made me wonder whether he ever gets any work done at Birkbeck or Goldsmiths colleges (University of London)! Another one obsessed with me (and “anti-Semitism”, of course).
“Christine” loved it that I was disbarred, and she was too stupid to see that it did not harm me in the slightest (because I had ceased practice 8 years before). I wonder whether “Christine” herself has ever had a job, let alone a profession? I doubt it.
Well, “@cdaargh” only tweets occasionally now. Looks as though she is back down the rabbithole or somewhere. I could show hundreds of other tweets from her in similar vein, but there it is… Her latest tweets at time of writing of this article:
A Zionist Jew who seems to spend a great deal of time on Twitter is tweeter “@frankiescar”, aka Andrew Roberjot, a kind of legal groupie (though apparently unqualified), who is so odd that he actually turned up to gloat when I was before the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in 2016. While he is not (as far as I know) actually clinically mentally-disordered, he is an obsessed Zionist who, like Dr. Tim, has an elastic relationship with the truth. Here, below, they discuss my ability as a barrister, and my life at the Bar in the 1980s (in fact, I was still a —belated— student then, and, having spent years in the USA, was Called to the Bar only in 1991):
I suspect when he was first practising law in the 80s he had the same views, but a) they were taken less seriously back then; b) he didn’t have a platform like this to give free rein to them.
Roberjot “diagnoses” me! Ah, well, why not? Stevens is little better, and he is apparently a qualified psychiatrist (though I have never heard of one behaving as he does). Note that NHS “consultant psychiatrist” and depressive case Dr Tim “likes” Roberjot’s “diagnosis”…
I wonder whether I should make formal complaint against Stevens to the GMC? His behaviour seems very unprofessional, to say the least. I shall have to think about it. I usually prefer to not bother with the like. On the other hand, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” laughed when people said that they would complain against him. Well, he’s not laughing now…
Note that “@frankiescar” (Jewish Zionist knowall —or know-nothing— Roberjot) agrees with some other crazy Zionist that I was “a prospective Tory candidate” in years past. Not only have I never been a prospective candidate for any party, but have never even belonged to the Conservative Party (or to any System party)! Complete fabrication. Well, after all, what else can you expect from (((them)))?
Mike Stuchbery
Yet another one who has mental “issues” is Mike Stuchbery, who has tweeted against me in the past, gloating at my disbarment etc if I recall aright, though there were so many unthinking deadheads and “antifa” idiots like Stuchbery doing that (especially in late 2016, soon after my disbarment) that by now I have forgotten almost all.
Stuchbery poses as both “journalist” and “historian”. In fact, he was briefly a (later discredited and sacked) supply teacher in a comprehensive school, who now is always asking his Twitter followers for money):
When one suffers a severe bout of anxiety or depression, the preoccupation with our circumstances – real or imagined – can result in us missing out on food, sleep, human contact – the things that keep us on an even keel.
Stuchbery is better known for having quite recently organized people to go to Tommy Robinson’s family’s home, while also organizing the filming of the incursion. What Stuchbery did not anticipate was that Tommy Robinson would turn up later at his, Stuchbery’s, house! Collapse of stout party! In fact, meltdown…
Stuchbery’s modus operandi is to sit in the rear and co-ordinate information about any broadly “nationalist” activists, from UKIP and Brexit Party through Tommy Robinson and on to social nationalism. He does not expect to be directly involved in the violence he can be said to have incited (he himself claims that his actions fall short of incitement), but he supports it with weasel words, and he certainly does not expect to be called to account for his actions (see photograph above!) . The Tommy Robinson episode may have taught him a lesson, i.e. “what goes around comes around”. I wonder.
Louise Mensch
Then again, we have others, affected by mental problems, drugs, whatever: Louise Mensch, for example. The one-time “chick-lit” scribbler as Louise Bagshawe) and pro-Zionist, who is married to a New York Jew and now lives in Manhattan), was briefly the “Conservative” Party MP for Corby (under her married name, Mensch, not her, er, “maiden” name of Bagshawe):
Before she scribbled “chick-lit” books and became an MP, Louise Mensch worked for EMI, at which time she was a heavy drug abuser. She has admitted being left with “long term mental problems” by reason of her drug abuse.
Apparently, she was also a very promiscuous rock music groupie too, at one time, a fact that the 2010 Conservative Party campaign at Corby failed to mention:
Oxford University has, of course, always been famous for bikes (though mainly of the 2-wheeled type).
[above, Louise Mensch, smoking drugs]
Hard to believe that the Conservative Party made a ghastly and ignorant bitch like that an MP, even if it lasted in the end no more than about 15 months. Oh, well, maybe not, looking at some other MPs…
Louise Mensch has of course admitted being “left with long-term mental problems” because of her drug abuse, and is now notorious for making up claims about supposed Russian involvement in American and UK elections, claims that have recently been exploded by independent research. Even Nick Clegg, for Facebook, has now agreed with that.
Mensch personifies the absurdity of Twitter: with 289,000 “followers” (whether bought or real; perhaps genuine), she no doubt thinks herself very influential, but her real political or other influence is effectively zero.
Louise Mensch was almost manically or hysterically happy when I was disbarred in England, and actually tweeted directly to me to say that she was going to make similar complaint against me to the Bar of the State of New York. She thus managed to display simultaneously not only her lack of any class, but also her ignorance about the New York Bar and its rules, and about US Federal law (including the US Constitution).
Louise Mensch. What a stupid demented cow! When she realized that she had no leg to stand on (little matters such as the U.S. Constitutional free speech provisions, the fact that she was never my client, the fact that I have in fact never practised in New York despite being qualified and Admitted there… etc), she deleted the tweet. In fact, she seems to have deleted all her tweets about me.
The #RachelRiley tirade about AS reminds me of a similar intervention by Louise Mensch a year or two back. Mensch stated anyone who used the term 'Zionist' was automatically an anti-Semite. Someone asked her if it extended to Theodor Herzl? Yes, everybody! she replied. https://t.co/T8Ck1dzSCe
Another point: anyone who thinks that attendance at Oxford University guarantees a good level of knowledge should take a look at types such as Louise Mensch…Like so much of Britain, Oxford University has been living off its hump for a very long time.
Mark Lewis
Abusive Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, whose mind has been damaged either by his multiple sclerosis condition or the drugs used to control or ameliorate it, admitted when on trial before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal that at times he had no idea what he was doing, saying, or tweeting! After having being found guilty, he fled to Israel with his carer/”partner”.
Rather than go through all the details of Lewis’s crazed behaviour, I refer the reader to my previous studies about him, which can be found on my blog pages via the search function. Incidentally, he has never even threatened to sue me for any of what I have written about him…
“Slatfascists”
Then we have the persistent Twitter troll (he’s also on GAB and other platforms) known, inter alia, as “‘@slatfascists” or “Dave”. Another one with mental problems — this becomes almost tiresome, but this article is being written to show the strong link between “antifa” (and also some Zionists) trolling and snooping, and mental disorder.
“Slatfascists” is often in contact on Twitter with other “antifa” idiots and also Zionists such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer”. Supposedly Mancunian (like Lewis), his main interest other than trolling/snooping is playing some stupid online game in which the “space cadets” pretend to be commanders of spaceships! Beam me up! Once, “slatfascists” did not take his medication and had a Twitter meltdown. Out of misplaced compassion, I deleted my Twitter comments about the episode. As the Bible says, “do not give that which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn and rend you” (as he indeed did…). Below, “slatfascists” interacts with another disturbed person, who describes himself as a “proud Aspie” (Asperger’s Syndrome person)
Ahhh, with you now! Is Millard still rambling too?
[Update, 16 October 2021: “Slatfascists” has closed down his Twitter account, possibly because his identity was allegedly revealed recently. Good riddance; and I hope permanent riddance. Because the “Slatfascists” Twitter account has gone up the chimney, none of his malicious and unpleasant tweets can now be seen]
[Update, 17 October 2021: as predicted likely yesterday, “Slatfascists” is back on Twitter already. A weak-minded little troll with nothing to say].
[Update, January 2022: “@slatfascists” has changed its Twitter name to “@DaveAFAF”]
Update, 27 April 2020
Well, Ben Gidley is, sadly, still around, but his main troll accounts on Twitter have been killed off: @inthesoupagain went up the chimney; @antinazisunited is permanently frozen though the tweets are mostly extant. @BobFromBrockley is still on Twitter, but revealed now as simply a pro-Israel account with some pathetic “non pasaran!” 1930s Popular Front stuff added (the Labour Party supporters on Twitter saw through “BobFromBrockley” long ago).
“Christine” or “@cdaargh” seems to have gone down the rabbithole or (very likely, I think) permanently up the chimney. Her last tweet was in early December 2019, i.e. over 4 months ago.
Seems that unprofessional NHS psychiatrist “Dr. Tim” (Tim G. Stevens, of Epping Forest/Chelmsford) cannot stop himself from commenting on me via Twitter. Having said that I am a “sad sack” (despite the fact that he is the one with a diagnosed mental problem, and is on medication for it), he now uses that other term of medical art, “batshit“, about me and others, while chatting on Twitter with a few Jews and yet another nut, a Balkan woman who is a convicted fraudster and embezzler and who claims to be a medical doctor as well as an MBA and various other things. She was convicted in 2013: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2448851/Ex-press-secretary-fleeced-UKIP-MEP-went-spending-spree-disapproving-policies.html
Were I not so lazy, I should probably see what the General Medical Council (GMC) has to say about Dr. Tim, but I cannot be bothered at present. After all, what goes around comes around, eventually.
I have suffered very deeply from mental health problems. At the age of 28 I finally broke. I was an outpatient at the wonderful facility of the Maudsley in South London. It was my BLESSING I got sick under a Labour government. Tony Blair was PM. I cannot stress this enough.
The tweeter above is not Jewish, certainly not full, but has been a consistent ally of the Jewish lobby in the UK, especially but not exclusively on Twitter. I believe that she has tweeted against me a few times in the past but her main focus has been to defeat the Corbyn wing of the Labour Party.
Synchronicity. I was recently rereading the memoirs of Hans Eysenck [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Eysenck] who was based for a long time at the Maudsley Hospital (near Denmark Hill, South London).
People with mental problems, and who are not Jewish, often either attach themselves to Jews, Zionism, and Israel, or develop psychoses if they visit Israel. Israeli psychiatrists even have a special label they attach to such manifestations, i.e. “Jerusalem Syndrome”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_syndrome
What a nice person…Still, “it’s not her fault…she’s mentally ill“…I suppose…(or maybe she’s just not very nice…).
Update, 2 January 2021
Good grief! Another one!
Clinical depression is likely to be a major public-health problem in the wake of the pandemic. In an essay for @TimesMagazine, ahead of publication of my book, I describe what it’s like to be mentally ill. https://t.co/LPDtKZXRRJ
Kamm, half-Jewish, is a hypocrite who pretends to be pro-free speech, but consistently, in my view, manifests the reverse when —important point— the interests of Jews, the Jewish lobby, or Israel are involved. He made sure that he got quoted by the msm Press after I got disbarred in 2016, saying that he was “a near-absolutist on free speech” (but still commended my disbarment at the instigation of a pack of Jews!) See: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
Kamm has also said that persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz should not have been prosecuted in 2018 for having posted songs satirizing a few of the many hundreds of proven “holocaust” fakes and frauds. Superficially, a pro-free speech position, but not when you understand that what he wants (and proposed) is for major online and offline platforms to quietly ban Alison Chabloz (and others) from saying (or singing) anything! A prize half-Jew hypocrite.
He has now monetized his own mental condition!
My book Mending the Mind: The Art & Science of Overcoming Clinical Depression will be published by @wnbooks on 7 January. pic.twitter.com/S0L5XD7EeK
Not that I’m hustling for sales, you understand – no, no, not at all – but there’s an additional generous endorsement for my book Mending the Mind: The Art & Science of Overcoming Clinical Depression (@wnbooks) from Edward Bullmore, Professor of Psychiatry at Cambridge. pic.twitter.com/WgMt1cre8g
I'm reluctant to dismiss Leftists as nuts–everyone involved in politics is odd to some degree–but Lance Welton has assembled an archive drawn from technical literature demonstrating that it's really truehttps://t.co/0UI0qf2XaLpic.twitter.com/fdLP7jAuu7
Ironic…if I am not mistaken, that “antifascist” tweeter, “@jdpoc” (who in the past has tweeted against me) was quite recently tweeting something online about his own mental “issues”…
Update, 17 February 2021
“Aargh aargh AAARGH!@cdaarghgone girl. that is to say, I’ve left twitter for good. I hope. For the sake of my mental health. Good luck, and fight fascism.“
Looks as though @cdaargh has finally taken her pills and her bottle of whisky back down the rabbit-hole.
In other news, it seems that “Dr. Dim” (see above) has had to apologise to persecuted satirical singer Alison Chabloz, and delete one or more tweets about her, after the NHS trust that employs him took up the matter of his online abusiveness. Talk about eating crow! The GMC should take up the matter.
Update, 21 June 2021
Well, “Dr. Dim” continues to tweet occasionally about Alison Chabloz and others, though I have not seen much about me since Dr Dim was forced, quite a while ago, by his NHS employers, to delete a tweet mentioning me, satirical singer Alison Chabloz, and Jo Stowell (photographer, formerly of Bristol). He lied about all three of us supposedly having threatened him and his family. The bastard even gratefully accepted tweets in commiseration from a number of mugs who follow his Twitter account.
Alison Chabloz got an official apology from “Dr Dim” (Dr. Tim G. Stevens), via his NHS trust, but so far neither he nor his Trust has apologized directly to me. Well, I am not a Jew, so do not harp on about “apologies” all the time.What goes around comes around, in the end…
In the meantime, “Dr. Dim” continues to transgress the NHS code of practice for psychiatrists by publicly posting “diagnoses” of people who are not his patients, and whom he has never even met. Below, George Galloway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway], a candidate in the 1 July 2021 by-election at Batley and Spen, gets the Dr. Dim treatment:
I do wonder if, despite his rampant egomania and self-aggrandisement, he’s all that well.
Update, 16 October 2021: As noted now in the body of the text, “Slatfascists” has closed down his Twitter account, possibly because his identity was allegedly revealed recently, though I have no idea whether the identity “revealed” by a couple of tweeters was the correct one.
Good riddance; and I hope permanent riddance. Unfortunately, because the “Slatfascists” Twitter account has “gone up the chimney”, none of his malicious and unpleasant tweets can now be seen.
Memory lasts longer than tweets…
[note: as updated in the body of the text, “Slatfascists” weakly decided to crawl back to Twitter only a day after having “left”, and continues to troll, pointlessly, as before, now sub nom “@DaveAFAF”]
Update, 27 December 2021
I had noticed that you weren't active on Twitter lately & wondered if this was due to ill health or a sudden burst of sanity. I'm sorry it's the former.
No need to comment, methinks (Stevens is also now suffering from, he has previously tweeted, possibly-terminal cancer).
I see, looking at the above blog post for the first time in a couple of months, that some of the others have also reduced their Twitter trolling as a result of various events.
“The Balkan woman” (Balkan fraud) has not tweeted for about a month, and little before that over the past year, as a result (presumably) of the alleged murder of her son a year or so ago.
“@Frankiescar” (Andrew Roberjot), the “legal people” groupie, troll and Zionist pest, who actually turned up to gloat when I was disbarred by a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in late 2016), has disengaged, at least in public, from the “CAA” fake charity. He rarely if ever mentions me now; I even see the odd tweet from him with which I can agree! Mirabile dictu!
Are you for real ? They are the very definition of restrictions !
In fact, Roberjot/@frankiescar has, like so many who attack me, suffered a serious “medical episode” (necessitating a heart operation). #TenGreenBottles…
More about that “Dr. Julia Grace Patterson”, who selflessly (in her own opinion) gave up her medical career in order to spout rubbish, sell facemasks and start a supposedly pro-NHS pressure group…
She is now supported by Communist hypocrite and SAGE bureaucrat, Professor Susan Michie (who wants an almost endless “lockdown”, endless restrictions on personal liberty etc):
The Michie woman was even once banned from the UK Communist Party conference for being too extreme! Now she advises the Boris-idiot government of fools.
The fact is that the man at the bar of the local pub knows almost as much about “Covid” as some GPs, and as much as some non-practising “doctors” who run pressure groups and sell things such as cloth facemasks.
It would be interesting to know exactly what (if any) post-qualification medical career that young Patterson woman has had. I suspect not much of one.
Unfortunately, people tend to take “doctor”-somebody as someone who actually knows something in some depth. Often not so (and that is without even looking at the “doctors” of various non-medical subjects who (despite not being medical doctors, academics, or people in religious orders), insist on calling themselves “doctor” this or that on Twitter. I have blogged in the past about political bad jokes such as “Doctor” Louise Raw. Just one of many.
Anyway, back to the (other) lunatics who have (more often) attacked me online.
“Slatfascists” and some others (eg some crazed and apparently incontinent old woman to whom he talks online) only occasionally mention me now, probably because they realize that every time I or my blog are mentioned, my readership increases.
Mike Stuchbery occasionally mentions me, but not so often as at one time; he too probably wants to starve my blog of the “oxygen of publicity”, and has apparently taken up running, with almost (?) manic fervour. As far as I know, his proposed legal action against fake nationalist “Tommy Robinson” has still not come to court, a couple of years on from when he and Roanna Carleton-Taylor (“@oilpaintwitch”) collected nearly £12,000 via GoFundMe for that purpose.
In fact the said Roanna, “Witch of Peace” as was, has had the ludicrously-misnamed “anti-fascist” “organization” (a handful of lunatics), “Resisting Hate” she ran booted off Twitter. Poetic justice…
I have heard little from crazed non-Jewish Zionist idiot Louise Mensch, though I saw in some newspaper that her wealthy Jewish-American husband has managed to get rid of her by divorce. In political terms, she is, if possible, even more of a nullity than she has been for the past 9 years. No-one takes her even semi-seriously now.
As for serial troll Ben Gidley, the minor Jew academic, a few people better-known to the public than me (eg Peter Hitchens) have exposed on Twitter his, Gidley’s, fake Twitter personas, Hitchens perhaps having seen my blog, or former Twitter exposure of that horrible little pest.
A number of crazy or just unpleasant persons who have attacked or insulted me on Twitter have died, and/or suffered other hits, since I posted the main article. As for the rest, such as Kamm, they are still around, but rarely if ever mention me now.
Happy New Year!
Update, 2 December 2022
A few updated facts about those mentioned in the original post.
“@TimGStevens”. “Dr. Dim” has not mentioned me on Twitter since his health deteriorated and he was hospitalized suffering from both delerium and some kind of cancer, though after a long break, he now again tweets occasionally, about one tweet every week or so.
Maybe he learned his lesson after committing a number of unprofessional acts, including having falsely accused singer Alison Chabloz, a lady photographer from Bristol, and me of (all) having threatened his family. He was too lacking in class to apologise directly, but Alison Chabloz received a formal apology, nominally on the bastard’s behalf, sent by the NHS trust for which he works or worked.
Why is an unprofessional loony like that even employed by the NHS and/or Chelmsford and Essex (C&E) Trust? “Answer came there none“.
“@cdaargh” seems not to have tweeted since late 2020, and her Twitter account is locked.
The “Balkan fraud” mentioned on the blog has tweeted only a few times since July 2022. I feel restricted in what I can write about her, because the trial of a couple of defendants accused of having stabbed her son to death over two years ago is still upcoming, set down for some date in 2023.
I probably could write more about her without falling foul of “contempt of court” (she will not, I apprehend, be a major witness anyway) but prefer to leave it until after that trial concludes (assuming that it proceeds). I may have a few more interesting things to say about her then.
In the meantime, said woman has been in hospital for several months, and has tweeted that the nurses and doctors in that hospital have deliberately stabbed her with needles, causing her to go into a coma for 8 weeks. Latterly, she also blames the Metropolitan Police for sending her into a coma (because of “stress”), and says that the police are “harassing” her and her family (what family?).
I expect that I would be criticized for being too suspicious, were I to say that I suspect the genesis of a spurious medical negligence claim and (and/or) another type of money claim (which I shall not specify today).
“Judge Michael Gledhill QC told Badzak that she would have been jailed for a year had she not been the sole carer for her 15-year-old son, who is studying his GCSEs.
Instead, he suspended her 12-month month prison sentence for two years to ‘avoid wrecking her son’s life’.
Sentencing, Judge Gledhill told her: ‘In November 2011 you were taken on by Gerard Batten on a three-month contract and you were to be paid by the European Parliament.
‘You knew there would be a delay in payments and you were not to be paid until January. In fact, the European Parliament paid people earlier than expected in December.
‘You doctored your online bank statement with your NatWest account by removing the £2,500 payment so someone looking at the statement would think it had not been paid.
‘That was flagrant dishonesty.
‘In due course Mr Batten was good enough to give you another three-month contract and you threw that back in his face by continuing the lie.
‘By the end of the period he realised you were not working together as satisfactorily as he had hoped when he decided not to issue another three-month contract.
‘What did you do? You then took him to an employment tribunal and lost those proceedings.
‘You reported him to the police for fraud, who investigated and took no further action. You issued high court proceedings against him as well.
You did that to deflect attention from your own dishonesty by mounting a wholesale attack on his character.
‘He said he felt he was on trial and that was your doing.
‘I am going to suspend the sentence only because of your son. He is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing and I’m not going to wreck his life by sending his mother to prison.‘”
[Daily Mail]
“Despite having an MBA qualification, she claimed she was ‘absolutely useless’ with money and ‘never knew what was in her bank account.’
Arlette Piercy, defending Badzak, told the court that she suffered from significant health problems including depression, which had been exacerbated as a result of the proceedings.
Badzak, of Kilburn, northwest London, denied forgery and fraud but was convicted by a jury.“
[Daily Mail]
The half-dozen “readers’ comments” are amusing.
Said woman often mentions her MBA, as well as her supposed medical qualifications from (I believe) former Yugoslavia. It may be true, though one has to ask why someone with such qualifications was working as a poorly-paid secretary on a 3-month contract. I believe that, for the past many years (about 9 or 10 years), the woman has been living off State benefits of various kinds.
A 2019 Twitter spat with UK-based minor academic Marko Attila Hoare (who, ironically, himself tweeted against me in past years):
You have a criminal conviction in the UK for fraud and are the former press officer for a far-right party that you yourself label as 'Nazi'. Sure, let people draw their own conclusions ! https://t.co/cmRWc0saZa
Andrew Roberjot aka “@frankiescar”. Since the days when the once-described “drunken bankrupt former businessman” constantly trolled my Twitter account, and even turned up at my Bar Disciplinary Tribunal to gloat (((as “they” would))) [for details of that case, see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/], “@frankiescar” has, like so many others of his type, suffered serious health problems, and even had surgery. He seems to have distanced himself (at least in public) from the worst Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter, and has not mentioned me for a long time (that in fact has applied to most of “them” in the past 6-9 months).
“@DaveAFAF” aka “slatfascists”. This one has apparently recently been expelled from Twitter. He saw it coming, somehow. His Twitter account does not even say “account suspended” but just “this account doesn’t exist“. In a way, it is incredible that the unpleasant mentally-afflicted bastard was not expelled years ago. All he did (apart from pretending to be an “Elite Dangerous” “space cadet”) was troll people and/or tweet insults about better people than himself. No ideas about society, not even any intelligent political or social commmentary. Typical “antifa” idiot.
Fully expecting that returning wrong 'uns and relentless Nazi trolls will soon nuke my account with BS reports.
If so, it is what it is. Unlike those sad idiots, I won't set up other accounts.
I'll watch the demise of Twitter from the outside.
“@DaveAFAF” (deceased, though sadly not literally, yet), tweeted, prior to his departure, that he intended to appeal. I presume that he was messaged by Twitter in advance. Anyway, for now it is “good riddance” time…
[“Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]
[Update, 3 December 2022:unfortunately, it seems that the troll “@DaveAFAF” has been allowed back on Twitter, at least for the time being, and so far confined to retweeting tweets of others]
That’s all, folks! (for now).
The Elon Musk risorgimento at Twitter is like a breath of fresh air, though I suspect that the Jews are working day and night to destabilize the new order or to influence Elon Musk.
Update, 4 December 2022
To be clear, I will appeal any such suspension on the grounds that it will have been caused by bad faith actors, and attempt to highlight such shenanigans in respectable media outlets. https://t.co/uU7ntpQAC1
Well, “@DaveAFAF” now spins his temporary expulsion as if he himself deleted his Twitter account:
Lol, Daft Nazis and their silly speculation about why I deactivated for the last week.
Had to throw myself full pelt into a project that needs delivering before xmas (including working most of last weekend) & the best way to avoid this distraction is temporarily nuking it.
Well, prolific tweeter and political oddity (though not obviously mentally-disordered) Marko Attila Hoare has, for the first time in a few years (I think) tweeted about me:
Seven years ago, there was a very vicious clique of anti-Semites on Twitter who harassed people together: David Carter (@SplottDave), Joanne Stowell, Charles Frith, Paul Woodlock (@smeggypants), Alison Chabloz, Ian Millard, Jason Schumann. All suspended. Only Damian Read left.
Apart from the fact that the “clique” did not exist (the tweeters mentioned were just individuals, not closely or organizationally connected with each other), and apart from the fact that none of those mentioned could be described as “vicious“, I do not recall that any of those people “harassed” anyone. Rather the contrary.
I myself have never heard of Damian Read. As for the others, I recall the others from Twitter. A few of them tweeted to me occasionally while I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018, and I have not bothered to get myself reinstated).
The only one of that list I have met in person was persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, and that encounter was a 5-minute chat at the now-defunct London Forum, at which I gave a legal talk in 2017.
In theory, I could sue Marko Attila Hoare in libel and, now being very impecunious, would have little to lose, but I do not play games of that sort, luckily for Hoare, who might find such an action expensive even if I lost. Well, I have now a year, minus a few days, in which to decide on that, but I doubt that I shall bother in the end.
Update, 20 May 2023
A few updates, in fact.
I have some interesting thoughts, and information, about Jasna Badzak, but will wait until the trial of those accused of killing her son ends, which will not be for months (it has not even started so far).
Then we have “Dr. Dim” (Tim G. Stevens). He, it seems, is actually addressing the Royal College of Psychiatrists, no less, at their conference in Liverpool in July; on “professional practice” etc.
I’m honoured to be speaking on 11 July at the Congress, about ‘Mental illness and literature: tackling stigma and exploring professional practice’. #RCPsychIChttps://t.co/B4Q6C8XFbh
I never did get that apology from him or his employers in Essex, after he made a completely untrue and, indeed, crazed allegation that singer Alison Chabloz and photographer Jo Stowell (and me) were either threatening to attack, or actually planning to attack, his family!
In relation to that outright and loony lie, Alison Chabloz made official complaint and eventually received apology from “Dim’s” employing NHS trust (he was too lacking in courage and class to do it himself), I was given a half-apology by the NHS trust concerned, was told that the matter was being investigated, but in the end (as I expected), it died on the vine. The third person libelled did not want the bother of making a complaint.
Stevens had to delete his lying tweets, though.
In between then and now, Stevens has actually been hospitalized suffering from serious delusions, but now seems to be ready to pontificate to his fellow-psychiatrists, though he tweets only occasionally now.
As with so much in modern Britain, you could hardly make up such nonsensical behaviour as displayed by Stevens.
Looks as if at least one other person (unnamed, for now) who used to tweet unpleasantly about me is having to face the fact that his days are numbered by reason of a medical condition. #TenGreenBottles…

I want to send my sympathies to Jonathan as I also as many have had mental health issues watching what’s been happening . I’m taking a few days here and there to do some therapy so that it breaks the heaviness with all my family in Israel in the IDF —— we will overcome . And… https://t.co/DM9Dl4vE5a
I am an assistant professor at Columbia Business School. I am a father, a husband, an uncle, and a son. I am a forty-year-old man, and last week I found myself crying in front of a group of complete strangers.
Well, it took that one (above) another 5 or 6 weeks actually to shuffle off (Twitter/X) but “they” do tend to cling on like limpets (or should that be “leeches”?)…
“I have decided to leave Twitter. This is not a decision I made on a whim, or out of vindictiveness. This is something that took hours of careful deliberation amongst myself. I am doing this for my own benefit.
I am doing this because my depression, my anxiety, and my extreme bouts of anger are doing damage to the fight against antisemitism and other causes I care about, and to friendships (if online friendships can even be called that) I valued. I don’t like that my personal issues have become a source of drama and division. I want to be an asset. Not a liability. That is why I am exiting. If I do return here, it will be when I’m in a healthier state of mind. I will leave this up for a day or so before deactivating.”
As if anyone wants to read that loonie’s outpourings.
Update, 7 February 2024
Well, the “Balkan Fraud”, Jasna Badzak, is still occasionally tweeting. As I suspected a year ago, she was thinking of making both a medical negligence claim (based on her bizarre allegation that NHS staff deliberately and repeatedly stabbed her or injected her with something while she was in hospital), or a Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority claim based around the fact of her son’s murder by a gang of blacks a few years ago. I think that she also has it, or had it, in mind to sue the police, but that is a guess on my part. She has now tweeted this:
In the meantime time I have lost use of both of my hands and have to every six month get nerve blocks in my both hands from specialist medical doctors injections to suppress unbelievable pain. My Sven would ask me ‘Mum, who did that to you? pic.twitter.com/hwhGgXg9jK
Please tell me who repeatedly stabbed your hands for 5 days destroying your nerves on both hands?.’ Yet despite of medical records from my GP, my various neurologists, MRIs, NerveConduction Studies and many other proofs including police’s crime reference number pic.twitter.com/Z1fWjo7vRi
and police investigation CICA (Criminal Compensation Authority) did not pay me anything despite the evidence and the fact I will never ever be able to do anything with my hands including get a glass of water to take my medication or tissue to wipe tears from crying for my Sven. pic.twitter.com/P0jgP3Irkk
“…did not pay me anything“…That is her beef. She wants money, always, and preferably other people’s…
Looks like the criminal injuries people turned down her claim, if one was made. I can guess why.
I appeared as Counsel in very few Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority matters, but recall that one reason for not paying an award, or reducing one actually made, is because the applicant is of “bad character” (which includes but is not limited to criminal convictions).
“Jasna Badzak, 42, fed Gerard Batten a “pack of lies” about how her wages from the European Parliament had not been paid and she was too poor to travel to work, a court heard.
In fact she had doctored her online bank statement to make it appear as if the £2,500 payment had not been received.
Taken in by her story, the MEP loaned her the apparently outstanding wages, together with a separate £500, believing she would repay him after receiving the cash from the European Parliament.
Records show that in the meantime Badzak enjoyed spending sprees in Gucci and Harrods, Southwark Crown Court was told.
She only offered to reimburse Mr Batten after police began an investigation, and has yet to repay a penny to the MEP.
Badzak, who fled war-torn Yugoslavia 20 years ago and whose relatives died in Nazi concentration camps, said her relationship with the politician deteriorated after she was asked to work on a policy document entitled “Dismantling Multiculturalism” in February 2011.
“[the judge at the Crown Court said that] ‘You doctored your online bank statement with your NatWest account by removing the £2,500 payment so someone looking at the statement would think it had not been paid. That was flagrant dishonesty.
In due course Mr Batten was good enough to give you another three-month contract and you threw that back in his face by continuing the lie.’
When Mr Batten decided not to issue another three-month contract after that, Badzak took him to an employment tribunal and lost, the court heard.
She also reported him to the police for fraud, but detectives investigated and took no further action.
Judge Gledhill added: ‘You issued high court proceedings against him as well. You did that to deflect attention from your own dishonesty by mounting a wholesale attack on his character.He said he felt he was on trial and that was your doing.
I am going to suspend the sentence only because of your son. He is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing and I’m not going to wreck his life by sending his mother to prison’…“
[Daily Telegraph]
Badzak’s conviction dates from October 2013.
As to whether she really has qualifications (from Yugoslavia) as a medical doctor, and whether she really has an MBA from somewhere else, God knows. If so, why was she working for a modest sum as a temporary office-bod? She seems to have been living for at least a decade on various UK state benefits. We shall probably never know.
She used to tweet very disparagingly about me, that I was “just a fool” etc. Very silly.
#TenGreenBottles…
Update, 10 February 2024
[originally posted on Twitter/X in 2023, but retweeted by political academic Matt Goodwin today]
Well, the Balkan Fraud (Jasna Badzak) has now set up a GoFundMe appeal, and numerous mugs have donated already. She seeks £40,000, ostensibly in order to get medical treatment and generally to “get well” so that she can track down those who appear to have escaped trial for the murder of her son (I believe that three others have been convicted at trial, which trial or trials received enormous publicity in the Sun, Daily Mail etc). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c03xe0j0xwro.
Strange GoFundMe appeal. After all, her medical treatment is free in the UK; you do not have to pay for it. Also, how will giving Badzak money help catch those responsible for her son’s murder?
It looks to me like a kind of scam, frankly. Still, there it is, genuine or not. I think certainly not.
Among the mugs who have already donated, I notice well-known newspaper and online scribblers Carole Cadwalladr, Peter Jukes and (assuming it is the political journalist and broadcaster) Michael Crick.
Woke up again only to have another mental breakdown
And what brought it on was the crushing realization that, for all of my 38 years on this planet, I'm a lonely bloated sack of nothing with (probably) no future
Once my dad and my dog are gone, I will truly be alone
Balkan fraud Jasna Badzak continues to try to scam money out of kind-hearted but unthinking members of the public, having so far failed to get a criminal injuries compensation award (re. the murder of her son a few years ago), and also having, it seems, failed to sue either the NHS or Metropolitan Police for supposedly having “injected her with needles for 5 days” and thus having (allegedly) sent her into a coma and (later) paralysed her.
She claims to be unable to lift a glass or wipe away tears, yet tweets several times daily, asking for money for her GoFundMe appeal. Dozens of —in my opinion— mugs have actually now donated a total of nearly £3,000, in only two months or so.
Somewhere between a lunatic and a horrible snake, in my opinion.
Update, 6 May 2024
I noticed a while ago a fanatical and violent Jew-Zionist, “@leekern13”, on Twitter/X. He has in the past expressed incitement to violence, i.e. to the effect that “antisemites” “should be hurt” etc. That same Jew has now emigrated from his “native” London to Tel Aviv, from where he tweets to the effect that the (UK) Press and TV, and Twitter/X users, “are Hamas”.
[Tweet in question later deleted]
Distasteful and, like so very many other of the most fanatical Jew-Zionists (as shown above in this blog post), mentally afflicted.
Incidentally, this is what the Jew says about Britain, where he was presumably born, brought up, educated (probably free of charge, thanks to those British “antisemitic” taxpayers), and where he was given his career opportunities:
I’m leaving Britain and moving to Israel
Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving
Britain is a dying society
I’ll be fine in Israel
It’s the most dynamic, creative and positive place I’ve ever been – even though surrounded by Islamic fundamentalist psychopaths…
Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving Britain is a dying society I’ll be fine in Israel It’s the most dynamic, creative and positive place I’ve ever been – even though surrounded by Islamic fundamentalist psychopaths who daily try to destroy it .
You can forget the power of positivity and optimism. It’s become taboo in England.
That’s one thing I’ll never understand or make peace with. Britain is a shit hole – but if you try to express positivity, pride and optimism in the idea of salvaging something good about ourselves and improving things – you’ll be shamed and beaten down by smug, elitist morons who have a stranglehold over our culture – a culture that they have made desperately dull and oppressive.
Britain is a place that hates individuals who stick their head above the parapet, hates self-belief, hates pride, and it hates success.
Our enemies have contributed to this grim culture of floundering confusion and self-loathing. Useful idiots do the donkey work. And our leadership seem to lack entirely any connection with the grandeur or grand ideas that drive not just a society forward – but a civilisation.“
[Lee Kern]
Like so many of his type, he hates the UK, hates Europe, hates the Arabs and other Muslims (needless to say); basically hates anything not Jewish.
When Israel is destroyed, what is the betting that —if he survives— he will come crawling back to this country that he hates?
Indeed, his recent tweets sometimes seem to be posted from Tel Aviv, and sometimes from the UK (presumably from the North London/South Hertfordshire “Borshch Belt”).
Does he even know what country he is in, or has he “emigrated” to Israel while really still spending much of his time in the UK that he obviously despises (or purports to despise)? (cf. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”).
A complete loonie, like so many others.

This one has been tweeting, mainly though not entirely in the “antifascist”/Jewish-lobby interest, for years. Turns out that he is yet another one with what he himself describes as “very severe mental health issues“.
Someone should do a Ph.D. thesis on the links between mental problems, “antifascist” tendencies, and Jew-Zionism. Might be groundbreaking.

Another:
I wasn't going to say anything but I know a lot of you care and I don't want to keep you in the dark. I've been having suicidal thoughts the last 24 hours and I'm gonna get help for it. This might be my last tweet for a little while but I'll come back better. Love you all.

Another one:
A small note: the only benefit of allowing Maginn to see my TL is to be able to cleanse my feed of those who like or repeat what he says. Instant block. I’m taking action to protect my mental health.
Myerson, an obsessed Jew-Zionist who tweets up to 100x a day on occasion, is a member of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” and “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, is a barrister based mainly in Leeds, and a Recorder (p/t judge) who has recently been rebuked by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office for his toxic social media presence.
“Nichols grew up in a mostly secular Catholic family with some Irish heritage. At the age of 22, Nichols started attending weekly services at the Manchester Reform Synagogue; after attending the services, she claimed to have felt more peace than she ever had growing up.[31] She converted to Judaism in 2014 and celebrated her bat mitzvah on her 27th birthday.[32]
Since converting to Judaism, Nichols has faced ongoing abuse for her beliefs, including anti-Semitism from a Conservative Party council candidate for the 2021 Warrington Borough Council election. The candidate sent a message via Twitter to Nichols saying “Keep the Aryan race going”.[33]
In 2021, it was reported that Nichols has post-traumatic stress disorder, having been forced to cut a parliamentary visit to Gibraltar short following a “mental health episode“.[34]
In 2022, Nichols opened up about her struggles with abusive messages and threats of violence she has faced, after a BBC investigation found that she was in the top 5 backbench MPs for receiving abusive and toxic tweets on Twitter.[35][36]
In a 2021 interview, Nichols stated that she identifies as bisexual.[37]
In October 2019, Nichols tweeted that a group of S.S. Lazio fans who had been filmed making Nazi salutes in Glasgow should “get their heads kicked in”. Nichols defended her comments in December that year: “These were people doing Nazi salutes on the streets of Britain… As a Jewish person whose grandfather fought in World War Two, ultimately sometimes I believe that fascism has to be physically confronted”.[28][29]
An article published in The Daily Telegraph in 2019 reported that Nichols had described members of the Green Party as “bourgeois scab fucks” and told one Twitter user, “Hope you lose your virginity”.[30]“
[Wikipedia]
A Labour MP…what does that say about not only the Labour Party but the whole political system?
🧵 Listen, I’m going to just start with an apology and say I’m really sorry for having some stupid meltdown on today of all days. I’m genuinely very, very tired. As all of you, I’ve been dreading today and it’s got to me. But I’m sorry truly for diverting from what matters.
I had never heard of him but, now having read the Wikipedia entry, realize that I have seen him in both Inspector Morse and Poirot.
Apparently, “In his autobiography, Eccleston described chronic anorexia, body dysmorphia and depression, and said that he had considered suicide. Speaking about his poor mental health, he wrote that he was “a lifelong body hater”.[74] He was hospitalised in 2016 with severe clinical depression.[75]” [Wikipedia].
Pitiable fake “historian” Mike Stuchbery has apparently departed “permanently” from Twitter/X and has migrated to “Blue Sky”, where he can post “antifascist” messages unchallenged by anyone social-national, or knowledgeable about modern history; he can now continue to “report” anyone whose opinions he dislikes (Twitter just ignored him in recent years).
Sad and half-crazed Stuchbery, now living off the generous German social welfare system (generous enough for him to have, he says, “spent a few weeks in northern Italy” a while ago) has recently moved into a new apartment (presumably in Stuttgart) with a new girlfriend. He is still trying to beg money from mugs online, though.
As for “DaveAFAF”, once known as “Slatfascists”, the Mancunian loony “antifascist”…
“Dave. Anti-Fascist As Feck. 𝕏@DaveAFAF
David. Not using this cesspool now that the owner has ruined it. Find me where skies are blue – same username.“
[“DaveAFAF” posting on Blue Sky].
So that idiot has also gone from Twitter/X. I read (true or not) that the police are now interested in some of his activities.
What about Jasna Badzak, the Balkan Fraud? Well, she has not tweeted since May 2024, and her attempted GoFundMe scam has not raised the £40,000 she wanted, but only £3,542, with the last mug-donation £25, some months ago. All other donations ceased nearly 6 months ago.
I have no idea whether Jasna Badzak has “shuffled off” in general, or just online, but quite likely the former.
“Dr. Dim” Stevens has not tweeted since May 2024, and only twice since February 2024.
A few others have “gone up the chimney” since they started to post and plot against me. #TenGreenBottles…
Update, 28 November 2024
Mentally-weird “grifter” and self-proclaimed “historian” and “journalist”, Mike Stuchbery (a stand-in temp schoolteacher a decade ago, sacked from that job after a short while, and “economically-inactive” since then) continues to try to grift from his new online platform on Bluesky, but is now once again, for the (?) 20th or 30th time, making himself out to be more than the straw man he is:
I feature (very, very, very inaccurately) in said documentary. If Elon gets me hurt by some deranged chud, the noise I'll make is unbelievable. leftfootforward.org/2024/11/elon…
Stuchbery threatening Elon Musk. As the Germans might say, unglaublich! I am sure that Musk must be quaking in his boots, as straw man Stuchbery threatens to, er, “make a noise“… Quite funny, really. Keep taking the tablets…
A reminder about how Stuchbery often makes empty threats:
Even uses their horrible insult-language. Total loonie.

Despite feeling crushingly bleak within myself, I’m hoping things will be a bit easier with a bit of sun and light. I never used to like summer, now I feel like my life depends upon it.

Paging “Dr. Dim” (Tim) Stevens of Essex (see this blog post, ante); he (himself a mental case, as he publicly admitted online) is a fervent advocate of electro-convulsive “therapy”…
“Dr. Dim”, possibly partly-Jewish (it was never established for sure) was one of the cabal of pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby Twitter trolls who often mentioned me and usually insulted me on Twitter and elsewhere. He even made up completely contrived, completely non-existent “threats” allegedly made by me, Alison Chabloz, and another, and apparently reported me (and others) to the police (who, however, realized that the supposed threats were false; the police never even contacted me, though Stevens was not arrested as he should have been (his NHS employers did apologize on his behalf, though).
I do not know whether “Dr. Dim” Stevens is still around, or whether, as he feared, he developed early dementia and/or died of cancer. Still, he’s gone from Twitter/X, having not tweeted for over 9 months. Good riddance. #TenGreenBottles.

Apparently a retired cop of some kind, he purports to be an expert on policing etc:

[“Police Review described Brennan as probably being the best known face and voice in British policing and said that “Protect the Protectors” was the primary reason the government of the day reversed its policy on issuing police officers with a side-handled baton which had been originally refused.[citation needed]
Some members of the Police Federation, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and the Home Office were critical of Brennan’s outspoken positions.[citation needed] One Police Federation member[who?] was quoted as saying that Brennan “gives outrageous soundbites and simplistic solutions to complex issues. I don’t think he represents the views of many officers.”[2]
In 2013, The Independent offered critical coverage questioning whether Brennan is a convenient “rent-a-mouth” for the media pointing out his propensity to comment on a wide array of matters unrelated to policing, ranging from asylum-seekers to prison gyms. The newspaper also suggested that some in the police force viewed Brennan as “an unelected, unrepresentative, hardline reactionary.”[2]]

Actually, I do not disagree with all of his tweets that I have seen, but his shameless kow-towing to the Jew/Israel lobby after either my free speech trial or my (wrongful/unlawful) disbarment of 2016 makes him ridiculous, in my view.

Another one…(or two)
When I was stressed and in a bad place I avoided social media thinking it would help. It didn't. It wasn't the source of my stress. Moving our reality to an online world is making us miserable. If this app is the source give it up. If not people here will be there for you.
I happened to notice this piece from 2019 by one Lee “Budgie” Barnett, in which the individual relates how he had a “breakdown” about a decade ago from now:
That individual is or was a Jew who seemed, judging from his cautious tweets, somehow to know something of my political history going back, it appeared, to the 1970s.
Looking at his Twitter account (years ago), I noticed that he seemed to live not far from my own one-time home at Little Venice, London; either that neighbourhood, or nearby St. John’s Wood. During the years 2014-2020, he tweeted about me occasionally, talking to various other Jew-Zionists.
I notice also that the individual’s tweets and other online activity stopped about three years ago, so it looks as though he will not be chatting to other Jews about me in future.
