In a swamp of revolting yellow press warmongering over the #UkraineRussiaCrisis, one lone & brave voice of truth and reason: "PETER HITCHENS: Why I blame the arrogant, foolish West for the Ukraine crisis" https://t.co/B6NXYGTWTF
I have not seen the term “yellow press” for many years. Almost “Ostalgie“…
The hypocrisy deceit of our political & media over the #Ukraine is sickening. First war in Europe since 1945? Wrong to change borders by force? Only if you forget the murderous 78 day #NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 to hand Kosovo over to Islamist cut-throats. pic.twitter.com/cIquewXjJs

The sanctions against Russia may damage Russia economically, but are a double-edged sword— the economies of Western and Central Europe will also be damaged.
Politically, it may be that Russia will give practical support to social-nationalism in Europe. I hope so.

German FM Annalena Baerbock on halting Nord Stream 2:
“For us as German government, it was important to show that for a free and democratic Ukraine, we are willing to also accept consequences for our national economy. Peace and freedom in Europe don’t have a price tag.”
Easy enough for a German pseudo-democratic drone of her sort, dragging down hundreds of thousands of Euros a year, to say that. What about the millions of poor or modestly-paid Germans?

There have been quite a few female politicians like that in the USA in the past several decades: shrill, anti-“racist”, anti-“sexist”, “pro-choice” (i.e. pro-abortion), semi-educated, semi-deranged, entirely irrelevant. I suppose that Hillary Clinton was the most prominent.
Well, after all, Churchill himself once exploded with “...traditions of the Navy? What are they? Rum, sodomy, and the lash“. Harsh…That must have been a good bottle.
“We” have not “given up“; we have woken up. There is a difference.
I was in a large Tesco store in the early evening. Very few mask-wearers left. Now mostly the hypochondriacs and the mentally not quite stable. Rough guess— about 5% still wearing their facemask muzzles.
Still believe that hundreds of billions wasted on stupid schemes such as “furlough payments”, “test and trace”, “eat out to help out”, loans and grants to failing businesses etc came free of charge? Ha. Think again.
Well, I could find them on a map, even before the “crisis” began, but that is true in the UK (even now) of only, maybe, one in a hundred, if that. In the USA? About one in ten thousand, I should think.

Happened to see part of a TV interview with Liz Truss, the present Foreign Secretary. Liz Truss. Foreign Secretary. Two words I never should have imagined would ever be found in the same sentence.
The impression given was that of a woman playing a record for the umpteenth time. Very unimpressive. As for her attempt to threaten Putin and his circle with sanctions of various kinds, very hollow.
The fact is that, short of initiating nuclear war, there is nothing that even the US President can do to halt an invasion of at least Eastern Ukraine, should that be Putin’s decision. Boris-idiot and Liz Truss are reduced to tweeting, appearing (unconvincingly) on Sunday morning TV shows, and funnelling arms, mainly small arms, to the Kiev government.
As for “Boris” trying to insert himself into the Ukraine situation, making telephone calls here and there, and wanting to visit Eastern Europe soon, pretty pathetic. Obviously driven by his domestic problems.
The British, “led” by Johnson, are no more than unruly spectators in the Russia-Ukraine situation.
…and don’t forget the Jew who is President of the Ukraine. So that’s both President and Prime Minister. What are the odds?
Incidentally, Wikipedia notes that Zelensky is a Jew, but not Shmyhal. Wikipedia is unreliable if there is a Jewish or Zionist aspect to anything, because Jewish “volunteers” and Israeli orgs constantly monitor the site, and make vandalistic edits.
Not that Russia is free of such “influence”:

True, but the Jewish influence over the police is more disturbing, because the police have allowed themselves to become an uncritical battering-ram for Jew-Zionist extremists, the latter having wormed their way into positions of influence all over the UK.
What a disgusting useless creature Andrew Windsor (“formerly known as Prince”) is! Where would he be without the title and inherited wealth? At best, a junior naval officer, now retired; more likely, something like a small and unsuccessful businessman.
I can see literally nothing positive about that bastard.
Oh, and no, I do not think that his being more or less a spectator in the Falklands campaign for 3 weeks, 40 years ago, makes any difference.

When I look at this government, I despise most of its ministers, and that goes for most Conservative Party MPs as well, but when my gaze turns to what is left of the Labour Party, I find that I despise them too, not only Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer, and not only the deadheads such as Dawn Butler and David Lammy, but also the would-be tyrants such as Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves. In fact, I dislike them even more.
Looking at that Daily Mail analysis, looks as if many voters agree with me, moving from Con to “Neither”, in effect.
If only there were a credible social-national party, but none exists.

These terrible stories make me wonder what the Western or NATO allies —basically the Americans— were doing in Afghanistan for 20 years. The same poverty and backwardness that has been there for decades, if not forever, at least in the provinces.
I remember talking to a couple (actually a woman; her husband was a dour unfriendly fellow who seemed to dislike me, and tended to sit glowering at me) at the inn, in a Devonshire village, where I often stayed when in the UK 2006-2009. They had seen Kabul for a few weeks, maybe longer, in the 1970s. It was OK for Westerners then. Interesting to hear their account.
[Kabul, Afghanistan, 1960s; tourists in a park]
[Kabul, 1960s. A record store]
[Kabul, 1960s]
[Kabul, 1960s]
[Kabul, 1960s; possibly by the University]
For twenty years, the “West” was in Afghanistan, in force, and bankrolled the Karzai regime. What is left? Almost nothing. What should have been done was to rule directly, or very closely with suitable puppet rulers, and to impose a less-backward culture on the country, for its own good.
Readers of my blog will be unaware that, nearly 6 months ago, an individual closely-connected to the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] made a malicious and unwarranted complaint to the police about me.
I shall not mention today the name of the guilty individual, nor those of his half-dozen or so most-guilty accomplices.
In the heat of summer, on my birthday at that, two local uniformed police arrived at my door, and informed me that ********** (a serial complainer to police, as I knew but they, probably, did not) had accused me of “racial harassment”.
After a brief discussion —slightly heated, certainly exasperated, on my side— the police agreed to email me with details of when I might, on a date of my choosing, be willing to attend the local police station.
I arranged for a London solicitor known to me to be in attendance remotely, via telephone, but on the agreed day of the interview (about a week later) there was a communications problem, so the interview was rescheduled.
Three weeks or so after the police had arrived (entirely unnecessarily) at my door, I attended the (so-called) “voluntary” interview at the new and bijou local police station, set in a quiet location away from the nearest road. A hot and sunny Saturday, and early evening.
So quiet, in terms of crime, is the local town, that the new police station is rather hidden away, and one has to press a button to ask to be let in.
The young policeman (well, when you are 65, as I now am, they all look young!) who had come to my door, and a female colleague, interviewed me on both audio and video tape (pursuant to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act [PACE] 1984,
I had prepared (and already emailed) a quite long statement about the situation as I saw it, i.e. the 9 years of attempts by dishonest and malicious Jew-Zionists to have me, inter alia, expelled from Twitter, disbarred, questioned by police, arrested, prosecuted, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
The Jew-Zionists also managed to have me expelled from Twitter (in 2018, via a concerted conspiratorial campaign which took them about 6 years).
The said pack, or connected packs, have also had me questioned a few times now by the police (twice under caution), but I have never been arrested, never been charged or summonsed, never been prosecuted, never been tried, never been convicted, and never been imprisoned.
As we know, “they” can be relentless in their vindictive pursuit, as written about by none other than William Shakespeare, and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” crowed mightily, after satirical singer Alison Chabloz was imprisoned, that it had taken the “CAA” 5 years “to get her“.
That evil pack will no doubt make further attempts to use “lawfare” (as they call it) to attack British people such as me, people standing up for Britain and for European civilization. They will continue to fail, most of the time.
Reverting to that police interview, though, it started off with some rather odd questions. I was asked when I last had had a drink! This was not their way of offering me a cold beer on a very hot day, but I have no idea whether that is now a standard police question in the era of the nanny-state, or whether I looked intoxicated!
I thought about it for a second, before answering that I had had a glass of cognac— about a week previously. That answer made both of them laugh, as I explained that I do not drink a great deal these days.
Another odd question was as to whether I had ever been in the Army, by which I assumed they meant the British Army (rather than the Salvation Army, Church Army, Barmy Army, or the Foreign Legion etc) . I replied, truthfully, that I had never held any commission, nor any enlisted rank, in the Army, though I had spent the odd day, and the odd weekend, as a kind of visitor, on British Army bases (in the 1970s and late 1980s).
I have to admit that the police were polite, even pleasant, and of course they were “only following orders” by asking about that absurd accusation of harassment.
After a few more questions (mostly as to whether I had any medical conditions), we started the interview proper. I read into the record my two-page statement. My throat was dry after the first page. The woman police person (are they still called “WPCs”?—maybe not) very kindly offered me a mug of water, and brought it.
A few questions followed, mostly answered with “no comment”, and that was that. I was informed that I would not be placed under arrest, or charged there and then, but that the statement would be sent to other (unspecified) persons —I assumed to another part of the country, and/or the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS]— who would decide whether the matter would be taken further.
I parted from the police on an amicable basis, and briefly considered pocketing the now-empty “Prevent” mug as a souvenir and trophy, but thought better of it.
That, however, was not the end of the affair.
Some of my readers, perhaps especially any legal people, may ask why I made a statement at all, rather than just no-commenting. That is usually good advice (and is what the London solicitor had advised), but I decided to detail a number of matters going beyond the fact that there was no actual evidence of “racial” (or any other form of) harassment by me in relation to ********* (the guilty party…) and his pack. If you like, I decided to let rip and give the pack of bastards both barrels (metaphorically).
True, in the absence of any evidence that there had been any “harassment” in the first place, I could have, perhaps should have, in effect said, simply, “prove it“, but my decision was both tactical and also me wanting to put the record straight about those criminal CAA bastards.
Weeks passed. Months passed. Nothing happened, and I began to assume that the matter had been dropped but without formal notification, as had happened on a previous occasion, in 2017, when the same bastards, typically, had thought to kick me when I was down (soon after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), and via another malicious complaint, that time under the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s.127.
That complaint had been to tame (((occupied))) police at Grays, Essex. (my blog post about that 2017 complaint against me can be found via the search box on this blog).
Well, just when I thought that it was safe to go back in the water, the local police sent me a letter. So creaking is Britain’s infrastructure now that it took 11 days to reach me (in the same area, only about 2 miles away, at that)! The decision had (it seemed, though nothing was written directly) still not been made to drop what was a ridiculous “case” that should never have been taken seriously by the police (in another part of the country, I believe) in the first place.
That was it. Forget both barrels. Think nuclear strike. I dropped a —metaphorical— strategic nuclear bomb. Within 24 hours, I had received email notification that the CPS had decided that no further action would be taken against me on the complaint by ********** and that I would receive no further contact about it.
In other words, ********** can slither away again now. I would suggest that he gets better legal advice next time.
[Update, 20 August 2023: Further to the above, I can now say that, though I was not arrested, still less convicted of anything by reason of the malicious complaints of the “CAA” cabal, I have now been summonsed. A postal summons arrived through the letterbox at my home address in March 2023, alleging breach of the “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, i.e. it is alleged that five (5) posts on this blog (from 2020 to 2022) were “grossly offensive“.
I appeared in Court on a date in May 2023, pleading Not Guilty to all five counts. A further brief hearing took place in June 2023. Trial is now set down for 1.5 days in late November 2023. I shall represent myself despite being eligible for a solicitor and Counsel via Legal Aid.
I have every expectation of acquittal on those charges. In fact, the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (which the Law Commission has recommended should be repealed) is soon going to be superseded anyway by the Online Safety Bill presently before Parliament. I may be the last person charged under Communications Act 2003, s.127.
I shall not be blogging further in detail about the case until after the trial. I can say, though, that whatever happens at trial, this blog will continue to be published as if nothing at all had happened.]
So there it is. After about 20 months of nonsense, I was convicted under the bad law Communications Act 2003, s.127, and sentenced to a “community order”, i.e. probation, of 9 months’ duration, to include 15 “rehabilitation days”, and to pay £734.
Well, a third of the financial penalty was crowdfunded, and the “rehabilitation days” were before too long waived after I had done a few (and also a few meetings that, for opaque reasons, did not count as “rehabilitation” days), though each “day” turned out to be far less than a day, indeed far less than half a day: almost all were less than 1 hour, and a couple only lasted 20 minutes. Mostly chats, but with a bit of armchair psychology thrown in. Actually, I rather liked my probation officer, a very polite and pleasant young woman.
Once again, I managed to trump political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 7/10, but I trumped that with 9/10. I did not know the answer to question 5. I felt that the questions were a shade easier than usual this week.
North Korea is like a laboratory experiment showing the deficiencies of old-style socialism (or any system of society where the political element completely rules over both the economic sphere and the spiritual/cultural sphere): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding.
At the same time, it is incredible to see what the human spirit (even when largely crushed, as in North Korea) can accomplish under collective will (whether voluntarily or otherwise). North Korea’s people may be half-starved, and more or less beaten into submission, yet they have developed rockets, and have huge and apparently efficient armed forces, at the same time as the domestic railways scarcely work, the roads are mostly potholed and ill-repaired, and many of the rank and file North Koreans hungry and poorly clothed.
North Korea prioritizes military spending, and making its capital as much of a showcase as it can, before anything else (except the privileges of the ruling circles). A socio-political choice by the few who rule.
There are examples elsewhere in the world. Stalin said, on learning of the atom bomb, “we must have it, even if we have to eat grass“. Well, Stalin and his clique never had to eat grass, but many of the Soviet people were on almost starvation rations for years, and later on very modest living standards, even as the Soviet Union industrialized (1930s), defeated the German Reich (1940s), built the atom bomb (1940s) and a hydrogen bomb (1950s), and launched into space (1950s and 1960s).
In other words, these things are questions of political will and prioritization, at least up to a point. Stalin told his intelligence agencies to discover how to build an atom bomb at a time when nothing was known of it beyond its actual existence. It had never been deployed, nor even tested. Armed only with that one fact, that it existed, the foreign intelligence directorates of the NKVD and GRU managed to get enough information to enable the Soviet Union to build a usable bomb.
Another case: Adolf Hitler found a Germany in the depths of poverty and despair (yes, a simplification, but largely true) and raised it to glory, even if that lasted only 12 years. His will alone, transmitted to others and thence to others yet, created the achievements of the German Reich in the 6 years of peace, and then in the 6 years of war, the latter including not only initial and stunning military victories, but technical achievements which, inter alia, led humanity to the Moon and outer space (the V2 rockets developed by von Braun and his team).
[autobahn, Germany, 1930s; the first British ones were part of what is now the M6, and also the M1, both started in the late 1950s]

There is a “creative tension”, if you like, between the necessity to have political will to do something, and the equally-pressing necessity to have the economic resources to accomplish that objective. Some countries have the political direction (North Korea the obvious example, perhaps) but (in that case by reason of a ramshackle socialist economy) lack the resources to do what the political leadership would perhaps like to do; at least to the extent that its government would like.
There again, there are thriving economies in countries that have very little political direction: contemporary Germany, and indeed most of the Western and Central Europe of the present-day. The economic benefits of those economies go, one way or another, to satisfying consumer demand. The opposite of Goering’s famous remark “guns before butter“.
Once you get people to accept the facemask nonsense and the other contrived “rules” (hoops to jump through), once you get them to accept the most absurd and contradictory “laws” (eg facemasks on in the supermarket, but off next door in the pub), once you get people used to being injected regularly, then you will be able to get most of, and eventually all, the “sheeple” to accept having a subcutaneous microchip. Social conditioning.
The rationale will be something like “accept the microchip under your skin. It will only take a minute, and thereafter no need for papers, Covid passports etc; you will be free to do everything...” except that you will then be able to be tracked, controlled, found (if you try to hide) and, at the push of a button, if you are deemed to be “racist”, “anti-Semitic”, a dissident, whatever, the System will be able to deny you access to…anything, everything…
Naturally, I am opposed to the ludicrous Covid “restrictions” anyway, but the incredibly “entitled” attitude of the Conservative Party hierarchy has shot the Government’s credibility, such as it was, to pieces. Parties in Downing Street, and at CCHQ, with none of the useless but previously “mandated” measures in place: no facemasks, no “social distancing”, and no arbitrary “rule of 6”.

Wikipedia is a valuable resource, perhaps the best single source of information on the Internet, but when it comes to matters involving Jew-Zionism, the so-called “far right” (social-nationalism) etc, the (((influence))) is readily apparent.
There is only one way to counter the evil, or maybe two, but so far there is little sign of any resistance at all to either the Great Reset or the Great Replacement in the UK. A few protest marches in London parks do not cut it; those people would be better off saving their time and money.
I always thought that Andy Burnham was one of the better people on the Labour side…but then I heard him, a few years ago, weaselling about “holocaust” nonsense, and I thought again…another System drone.
So in the UK there are 10 or 11 people hospitalized with “Omicron” (with, not exclusively however— they have other “co-morbidities”), none of those 10-11 require to be on ventilators, and it may be that 1 other person has in recent weeks died with Omicron. For this, Boris-idiot and the sinister clowns of SAGE have half-closed down the country, and re-mandated the facemask nonsense…
North Shropshire by-election
For what it is worth, the bookmakers now have the Conservative Party candidate just ahead of the LibDem. Seems to be an open contest between those two, and with —in my view— every chance that the LibDem might bring off the biggest surprise in the history of the constituency (which history, though with a break of a century, goes back to 1832).
It is a little strange that Labour supporters would vote Labour just to (?) make a point (what point? That “democracy” is really rather a sham in our system?), when they could dislodge the Conservatives (and make electoral history) by voting tactically for the LibDem, but I suppose that many recall the way in which Clegg and the LibDems propped-up the regime of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne from 2010-2015, thus enabling all those cruel and callous “welfare” (social security) cuts and other measures (the ATOS scandal etc). Many will never trust the LibDems again.
[Update, 7 January 2025: In the end, the LibDem candidate won the North Shropshire by-election handsomely, with 47.2% of the vote (Con 31.6%, Lab 9.7%), and retained it even more convincingly at the 2024 General Election, with 52.9% of the vote (Con 22%, Reform UK 15.5%, with Lab in 4th place on 6.9%). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shropshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.]

I would not put it quite like that, but at root, that is right, inasmuch as the Western cabals were behind Bolshevism, and are now fairly openly pushing for the post 2022 “agenda” which might be summarized as “The Great Reset + The Great Replacement = NWO/ZOG world power”.

That has already started to happen. Look on Twitter. I am not quite sure why most Jews (on Twitter, at least) seem to be fanatically pro-Covid “restrictions” and “vaccination”, unless they just distrust the British people having any liberty at all.
Rishi Sunak has apparently been warning that the costs of vaccine schemes into the future will need to be funded by cuts elsewhere to public services.
Well here's an alternative: a 10% tax on wealth over £100m would raise £69 BILLION. It's time to tax the super-rich!
As a matter of fact, I expected better from Neil. Despite his pro-Jewish Lobby rants on TV in the past few years, I thought that he believed at least in a reasonable level of personal and social liberty. Apparently not.
I suppose that one man’s “reasonable restrictions” are another’s “Covid police state”…
At the end of the day, Neil is part of the System, speaking broadly.
Incidentally, Neil has (though on another issue) become rather litigious of late; I therefore give fair warning (in re the —admittedly highly unlikely— contingency of his taking any legal action against me), that I have effectively no assets any more, and so am as good as “unsueable”. I also know how to make bullying litigation very expensive for those launching it.
So the mainstream narrative was natural mutation, while the secondary narrative (as retailed by Sir Richard Dearlove and others) is that Covid-19 was produced in a Chinese laboratory, and that it then escaped somehow.
What about a third idea (and that is the one I tend to favour): the virus was produced in a Chinese laboratory, but did not escape accidentally. It was released deliberately, but that outbreak was, as planned, brought under control quite quickly in Wuhan and other parts of China.
Meanwhile, though, the same virus somehow made its way to the very places, meaning the Alpine ski resorts, best situated a. to incubate new cases and, b. as launch pads from where the virus might be spread quickly throughout the western and central parts of Europe.
Now how was it that that virus jumped from provincial China to the ski resorts of the Alps? We could be looking here at a scenario not far removed from the background of films such as The Cassandra Crossing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cassandra_Crossing]. Incidentally, “This film was very famous in China with Chinese dub in 1980s” [Wikipedia].
As to why such a “conspiracy theory” might have a basis in reality, there are several possibilities.
Tweets seen
It’s been almost SIX MONTHS since I queried why my elderly aunt was hospitalised after a fall with ‘all obs fine’ – no human contact for 13 days – then put in a Covid ward and had Midazolam & morphine put in her PRN (list of anticipatory meds).
Don’t make it seem as if inept “Boris” actually has a “plan”; the only plans are in the minds of those who control the “Boris” show from behind the scenes. Look at the organ-grinders, not the monkeys.
…and already the international or transnational conspiracy is thinking about how to introduce mandatory subcutaneous microchips as a form of “Covid passport” (but really as a means of tracking the individual 24/7).
I have not watched a full Question Time since I returned to live full-time in the UK, well over a decade ago, and saw the televised lynching of Nick Griffin. The mask of the BBC and other msm fell off there and then, and the influences behind most of the msm were exposed to the light.
Incidentally, I see that the System’s oft-seen “Auntie Tomasina”, Bonnie Greer, who was seated (obviously deliberately) next to Griffin on that TV show trial, is still tweeting her stuff, now supporting both the “Covid” police state and the “black lives matter” nonsense-propaganda…
The entire system has to collapse and go into the dustbin of history. There's nothing worth saving. Without genuine leadership, we cannot play a meaningful part in that process.
He is right. The UK needs a social-national government. That means that a real social-national movement must exist. That movement can only exist if there exists both a leader and a support-base.
…and when Tom Watson was finally pressured to give up being an MP (he had been a huge expenses cheat, and was also involved with several other forms of questionable behaviour), he was appointed, in 2020, head of UK Music, the umbrella organization for commercial interests involved in music. A body permeated with Jewish interests and influence. The outgoing head of UK Music had been Michael Dugher, also a former “Labour” MP, also a member of Labour Friends of Israel…
Indeed, the same Michael Dugher became, in 2020, the Chief Executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, the main lobby group for the gambling industry, another commercial area riddled with Jewish money and influence.
Further, in September 2020, Tom Watson was also appointed “senior advisor” to Flutter Entertainment, which controls the huge gaming businesses Paddy Power, Betfair, and Sky Bet. Before Flutter Entertainment opened its wallet, Watson had been very critical of the gaming industry. For bastards like Watson, money really talks…
Watson was blackballed, in effect, from becoming a member of the House of Lords, by reason of his activities and behaviour, but it seems that he may yet reach the Lords at some point, the present “Labour” leader, Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer, having re-nominated him.
Look at the key thread running through the above four paragraphs: Jewish money, power, and influence, suborning corrupt and venal MPs and others.
Oh, many would…the kind of Twitter twits often seen calling for almost permanent “lockdown”, facemask nonsense, weekly “boosters” of the supposed “vaccines” etc…in other words, the System’s willing slaves.
Eventually, the USA will either break down, or break apart, if it does not impose dictatorial order; not because all blacks are evil, or murderous, or because there are no intelligent blacks at all, but because a society with a majority black population (which is the direction of travel) simply cannot sustain an advanced culture and civilization. We in the UK are seeing the emergence of similar problems and manifestations, though arguably at a less-serious stage.
In other words, that black woman is saying “buy only from blacks” or “boycott non-black businesses“…Imagine if she were saying the reverse. The skies would have fallen in!

Hitchens is entirely right here, Britain – along with Australia – is an appendage of not only US military force but increasingly subject to its sovereignty too. Exit from the EU will massively intensify this, as does confrontation with China. https://t.co/dRkjzlL4X2
I’ve often thought that, for any of its downsides, social media would make it much harder to perpetrate illegal wars based on lies like in the early 21stC. The public response would be different, and successful.
Now I think @Twitter would simply close down dissenting accounts.
What does Bastani mean Twitter “would” close down dissenting accounts?! A pack of Jew-Zionists conspired together to get Twitter to “suspend” (expel) me in 2018. David Icke, Katie Hopkins, Mark Collett, Laura Towler, Alison Chabloz, and legions of others have gone the same way.
Incidentally, I see that the recently-replaced head of Twitter, one Dorsey, supposedly has a fortune of about USD $9 BILLION! Yet Twitter, since it started has, overall, made a massive loss…
“US-based microblogging and social networking service Twitter reported a net loss of $536.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, according to its financial results released Tuesday. The results showed a steep decline from net income of $28.6 million in the same period of last year.” [US financial Press]; and
“American micro-blogging site Twitter on Wednesday announced that it had suffered a net loss of $1.14 billion in 2020 representing a net margin of -31 percent. On the other hand, Twitter’s costs and expenses saw an increase of 19 percent year over year totaling $3.69 billion while revenue amounted to $3.72 billion.” [US financial Press].
What is really going on here?
The problem with the Bastani type is that —in his case— not being really or fully British (half-Iranian), and with a head full of fake post-1989 pseudo-“Marxism”, he just struggles to connect with the real British psyche. See, for example, the tweet below:
Why does the British elite get so excited about killing small, cuddly mammals? Genuinely weird idiosyncrasy. https://t.co/ibbhiramvE
He does not understand that it is not “the British elite” who are animal-lovers, but virtually the whole British people. Indeed, it might well be argued that the wealthier Brits are more selective in their love for animals than the poorer ones (who do not, most of them, hunt, shoot or even fish).
Looking at Bastani’s tweet, it is more ambiguous in meaning (not so good for a journalist…) than it seemed when I first saw it. Does he mean that “the British elite” like to kill animals (as when foxhunting), or that they get worked up or agitato in opposition when others do it? In the idiom of today, “whatever”…
In fact, Bastani’s organization, Novara Media, seems (from what I have seen on Twitter etc) to be mainly composed of non-Brits, and indeed anti-Brits, people such as Ash Sarkar.
“Communism” (which those people claim to support or espouse), has certainly gone the way Marx predicted: “first time tragedy, second time farce“…
Says it all…those idiots love to “deplatform”, then one fine day it happens to them. Same is true of the Jew-Zionists on Twitter. Oh, what a (typically-Jewish) fake-victim scream goes up when one of their pack is expelled or suspended from Twitter!
Having said the above, Bastani is right at times, as in this tweet:
Great video from @PoliticsJOE_UK. ‘Anti politics’ of sleaze only goes so far. The sado-populism of the Tories is taking a distinctly S & M feel for some here. pic.twitter.com/HSqqOfMNDq
Never underestimate the political stupidity of the British people: those Con voters would vote Con under any conceivable circumstance, just as, until recently, there were swathes of the UK where voting “Labour” was a community tradition, rarely dissented from.
The problem people have is that there is no credible alternative to even Boris Johnson’s ludicrously-poor government. The Israel-first Starmer Labour Party would be a worse elected dictatorship even than the “Boris” one.
“Boris” is not credible, his government is not credible, but then neither is the shadow government of Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer. Imagine Starmer as PM, Angela Rayner as a Cabinet minister, dictatorial Yvette Cooper as Home Secretary etc. I’m angry just thinking about it, even though I truly despise “Boris” and all his Cabinet.
Bastani and his lot are correct, though, in my view, in saying that the Corbyn-style Labour Party was no less “electable” than that of Starmer. Maybe more electable.

This whole thing, the “panicdemic”, has become a test of how stupid and how easily duped the British people really are…and it is not going well, frankly.
I was just laughing again at the following clip from Mastermind:
Lammy is no mastermind! His Wikipedia entry is too kind to him, and shows (yet again) the error of relying too much on superficial paper qualifications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lammy.
I first posted the above clip about 6 months ago, and then wrote that, “Good grief! Someone sent me the clip below. I knew that Lammy was/is a deadhead, and in fact I have been meaning for a long time to add an assessment of him to my “Deadhead MPs” series, but…well, see for yourself!” and “People will say, “oh, but he is a barrister, has several degrees etc”…yes, and one of the most stupid (and ignorant) people I ever met was a former Sierra Leone diplomat, a High Commissioner to the UK when in London, and ambassador to some other state. That African had degrees from one of the most famous English universities, one from the Sorbonne, one from either Harvard or Yale (I forget).” Then I added, “Imagine Lammy as either Lord Chancellor or Attorney-General! Still, now that Keir Starmer is running what is left of Labour into the ground, such appointment is unlikely.”
The most obvious box-tick is the number of blacks and browns in leading roles: the captain of the nuclear submarine Vigil is a black, while the medical officer on board is an (?) Indian woman. Ashore, about half the Scottish (Glasgow) police detectives are non-white, and of the two main MI5 officers in the drama, one is seemingly Pakistani or something else.
Another box-tick is that, of the two women police detectives, the older one, a grieving quasi-widow, has a lesbian affair with the other. Well, such things happen, and there are, no doubt, both Glasgow detectives and naval officers (and MI5 personnel) who are non-white. In such proportion, though? In every TV drama?
A few other points about Vigil caught my attention. The GRU officer caught in Glasgow was interviewed about a murder (in which he was the only obvious suspect) without a lawyer present (despite having asked for one), and apparently without having been cautioned, and the interview was plainly not being taped (as far as I could see). At least three serious breaches of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, aka PACE. Not very good for a “police procedural” type of drama.
Again, the GRU [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRU] officer under diplomatic cover, caught in Glasgow in activities “incompatible with his diplomatic status”, did not, on being caught, immediately proclaim his diplomatic status (and so immunity); neither did he demand to be released at once, or to have contacted for him the Russian Consulate, as a real one would have done.
Not that such “demands” are always treated respectfully. When I myself was arrested (or as the Egyptian army and secret police said repeatedly, “not arrested”) in Alexandria in 1998, and held for about 11 hours by Egyptian Army intelligence/security and then the Mukhabarat (secret police), I asked repeatedly for the British Consul, only to be told (also repeatedly) that I was “not arrested”, but just “answering a few questions“, or “a fewmore questions“; also, that “the Consul will be very busy…“, and “the Consul is only for the most serious cases…you do not want to be treated as a serious case, do you?“…
In a sense, execution is too quick for those and similar monsters. The best thing that can be done to prevent such crimes is to ensure that such creatures cannot be born in the first place.
Quite. A silly fellow making a pointless and silly (and ahistorical) protest, but why should he not be allowed to do so? The present Home Secretary is an ever-more ballooning Indian woman of surpassing stupidity, incompetence, and ignorance (as well as being, effectively, an agent of Israel). Put that on your placard, you idiot!
More idiots. These ones are so ineffective and ridiculous that they cannot even be said to be “controlled opposition”. Just 5-minutes-of-fame (15 would be too long) political bad jokes. The Monster Raving Loonies are at least amusing when they show up.
I do not know what is more disturbing, that half-Jew office bully Raab is spouting “woke” nonsense, or that someone who has attended both Oxford and Cambridge universities, and is —even if ludicrously— presently Lord Chancellor, does not know the meaning of the word “misogyny”. Another sign of the times?

I suppose that one could take issue with the first part of Griffin’s tweet: it was not the State ownership of the means of production that crippled socialist economies, but the fact that the State, the political sphere if you like, operated companies etc, in other words made all the important decisions. Admittedly, in many such cases that will be the same as “ownership”.
I wonder if they'll make the unvaccinated wear a special badge so they can be identified and singled out for further 'special treatments.
It is noteworthy that Jews in the UK are among the most fervent supporters of Covid vaccination(s) and vaccines, the facemask nonsense, and all the repressive measures introduced by this crazed government of clowns since early 2020. I am not sure exactly why that should be, but it is a fact that I have noticed. Also, the pro-EU hard-core “Remainers” seem to be facemask zealots etc. Again, hard to see why, unless it is a wish to not have to think for themselves. Preparation of future karma?
Sometimes, I can see why people less polite than me want to kick in the heads of some members of the Parliamentary monkeyhouse… The sheer cheek of many MPs infuriates many members of the public and —in my view— rightly so.
Look at this cretin!
Although he said he currently is not struggling financially, he believes the situation is ‘desperately difficult’ for his newer colleagues.
Admittedly, £81,000 is not a fortune these days, especially when taxable etc, but bearing in mind that average UK pay is only about £31,000 (and the median far less even than that, and less again if those dependent on State benefits and pensions are included), I doubt that many will think MPs are hard done by. Even less so when one considers how many have other sources of income, such as second jobs, “consultancy” “work”, money from scribbling or being TV talking heads etc; not to mention the very many who have large monies via inheritances.
Many MPs are also buy-to-let parasites.
In the end, MPs are volunteers. If they think that they are worth more than £81K p.a., let them go and get it on the open market. Few can do so, which is why so many are found sinecures in state employment, or in quangos (via cronyism) when they lose their seats.
Despite its actions, forced upon it by the Jew-Zionist lobby, Bristol University put out the following weasel words:
“It said the university regards the “principle of academic freedom as fundamental” and would like to “reiterate that we take any risk to stifle that freedom seriously”.” Yeah, right…
Doormats for the Israel/Jewish lobby.
Even that tangled conspiratorial web is not complete. Small —but vocal and malicious— Zionist organizations, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are absent, possibly because the graphic is a few years old.
Looks hopeful, anyway…(though only on one reading)

December 1944 newsreel
Perhaps “unrealistic”, but I sometimes wonder what would have happened if every single German civilian had managed to shoot, using a small pistol such as a compact Walther, one or two of the invading soldiery, particularly on the Eastern Front as it approached and penetrated Germany itself. After all, German civilians outnumbered all invading forces.
Naturally, matters were not so simple as suggested above, but we sometimes think that things are “impossible” when in fact they are possible, but also too painful or inconvenient to do.
If so, ineffectual @stephengrove19. I used it to to interview poor Zviad Gamsakhurdia,then Georgian leader, who came to a very sad end -and ended the day(after a trip to S.Ossetia) eating a marvellous dinner in a hilltop farmhouse, while swallows flew in and out of the windows. https://t.co/JiThTWu5YK
Reminds me of when I lived in Almaty [Alma-Ata] Kazakhstan, in 1996-1997. I was slightly acquainted with the American pilots of the [Kazakhstan] Presidential flight. They (I only met two, but there were a couple of others) were all superannuated pilots from the insolvent and defunct Eastern Airlines [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines] cheated out of their pensions.
They all knew how to fly the Boeing jetliners used by the KZ President Nazarbaev. Local pilots were only familiar, then, with Soviet aircraft such as Tupolev jets and Ilyushins.
None of the Americans knew a word of Russian. They were very American, and insisted on driving around themselves rather than be chauffered like most foreigners were (including me; I had a driver called Valery, ex-MVD and shared with another client, a German diplomat; at that time, the British, French and German embassies were in the same building, and the capital had not yet been moved to Astana, now called Nursultan).
Those Americans found themselves in difficulty if randomly stopped and checked by the Kazakh police, a frequent occurrence (they only checked the driver, rarely if ever the passengers), because they could not explain themselves.
They were thus issued with a laminated card about the size of a hardback book, If stopped, they pulled that out. It was like the Rosetta Stone, and said the same thing in three languages, English, Russian, and Kazakh: “The bearer of this card is the pilot of the aircraft of the President” [etc].
The card was signed by the President himself, and bore his official seal. The Kazakhs loved rubber stamps; when I wanted one for my own use, I discovered that one could not simply get one’s secretary to have one made; it was necessary to supply a proposed design and various verifying documents —properly stamped, of course— about yourself and your organization to the delightfully-named “Bureau of Rubber Stamps”, which might then approve the design. Kafka would have loved it.
It is no doubt different now, but 25 years ago, you could not even get Vitamin C capsules in Almaty without a prescription! Or at least could only get them by rather covert means.
One of the Americans told me that, the first time he used his laissez-passer card, the policeman almost kow-towed. The policeman even invited the American to visit him, his wife and children some time.

Naturally, films, TV shows, books too, about the evils of Sovietism are, and will be (until the causes are eliminated), outnumbered a thousand to one by films, TV shows, books etc about the supposed evils of the Third Reich, for the simple reason that Zionist Jews control the film industry, TV companies (including the BBC) and publishing empires across the Western world.

That is my feeling. The toytown police state brought into being by the Coronavirus Act can be continued, extended, or resurrected almost at will, either by extending the “sunset” of the Act itself, or by passing a new Mickey Mouse “virus” Act…
A good point, that last. Personally, I believe that Boris-idiot is hiding out until the air has cleared and the virus wave effectively over, so that he can emerge as “wounded-in-action and conquering hero (clown) returns”. As I predicted long ago, Boris-idiot is useless in a crisis. As for the headless chicken now posing as a government, its “Cabinet ministers” are a mediocre stupid lot, unwilling to take responsibility or the obvious necessary step of ending the “lockdown” now.
WE all know that it is vital, if felled by a stroke or heart attack, to get help and act as quickly as possible. This shutdown is like a heart attack and a stroke combined, for the economy and our society. We cannot waste another second, if we want to avoid permanent deep damage.
I have been told that, eg “hairdressers and butchers are suffering”.
I’m sure, but people offering personal services in perpetual demand, such as barbers, will be the first to recover. People need their services, such businesses do not require much capital to restock with anything, and they get paid in cash or via immediate card payment.
Small shops such as butchers or whatever may be in deeper trouble, because they need to buy stock and (like most hairdressers etc) are still, during the “lockdown”, paying at least rent, if not also business rates, in most cases.
The obvious result of the present nonsense is that many closed-down shops will not reopen, or be open for long,while new entrants to the “High Street” retail landscape will be few. This really could spell the end of the High Street, or something very close to it.
I have seen tweets saying that some publicans are still paying rent of as much as £2,000 a week to landlords (usually breweries), despite being closed and thus having no or almost no income (a few are delivering food and drink to clients, in small quantities).
Fortunately, the inn where I often based myself when in the UK from France, the Royal Oak at Dunsford, near Dartmoor, is owned by its proprietors. I urge people to go there when this nonsense is over. It’s a great place, deserves support, and the village of Dunsford itself is (as I used to think of it when I was there) “a blessed plot”.
Returning to the less-happy facts of the overall UK economic situation, many people have been either made redundant, or “furloughed”. Even those on furlough may not be getting their full pay, nor even the 80% of it guaranteed by the Government. It is capped at £2,500 per month. Cold comfort for those (formerly) making more than average pay.
After furlough? How many will even have jobs to which they can return?
I imagine that, once we are into the Summer and Autumn, there will be a personal/family crisis for many. Rents, mortgages etc may become unsustainable. The buy to let parasite market may well crash. Not that I care about the landlords, but those who cannot pay rent will mostly be ejected and become homeless. Will those houses become empty indictments of our whole system?
The idea being put forward by the present government, as well as by the “experts” who have been so wrong so many times before, i.e. that the economy will “bounce back” in a “V”-shaped recovery, sounds to me like pie in the sky.
People in the UK will, many of them, have no money, be maxed-out on credit cards, have had to remortgage houses (when or if they can). Demand in the economy will be low, not only in the UK, but Europe-wide and, to a lesser extent, worldwide. From where will that “bounce-back” come?
I see today that the price of oil is so low that it is only just worth producing. Bad for oil-producing states, including Russia. I have not looked at gas, but I presume that the same is true. At least it should mean the end of the fracking nonsense in England. An end to part-Jew Osborne’s con-trick propaganda.

The “British” Press
I read that the newspapers, at least as print entities, face closure or at least significant cutbacks. Specialized or niche newspapers, such as the Jewish Chronicle, have already folded, though still publishing at time of writing. The larger or national newspapers are making huge losses. Am I worried on their behalf? No. In fact, I am laughing.
The “free press” of the UK, infested by Jewish-Zionist influence, has rarely been a positive influence in British life, even before WW2. In fact, with a few exceptions, as when the Daily Telegraph broke open the MPs’ expenses scandal, and thus exposed many MPs as a pack of squalid, thieving, cheating, freeloading, embezzling evildoers, I can think of few really good things that the “free Press” has done.
Come to that, while the Telegraph did break the expenses scandal in the latter part of the 2005-2009 Parliament, many of the worst expenses cheats and freeloaders are still MPs! One or two have even been promoted to the Cabinet! A few names? Yvette Cooper, Nadine Dorries, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, Michael Gove. There are many more. All or almost all are members of Labour or Conservative Friends of Israel.
No, I shall not be crying when the “national Press” (Lugenpresse, Judenpresse) goes down. I shall welcome the downfall, especially if the scribblers and others face well-merited ruin.
