Conservative leadership “debate” nonsense

Possibly the first time I have been able to agree pretty much wholeheartedly with political scribbler Ian Dunt— incidentally, it is worth reading the entire thread (only extracts here):

…and not in the one-time Educational Corps (as was Tugendhat, until he became a part-time Intelligence Corps officer).

Surprising (reading his tweets) that Dunt, after all a f/t political scribbler, was unaware until the debate was shown that Tugendhat spent about ten years as a part-time (TA, aka Reserves) Army officer. Seems that it is not only Conservative Party leadership candidates who fail to do their homework.

I myself did not bother with the pathetic “debate”, but instead watched a very silly but also very enjoyable 1971 Hammer film called Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Jekyll_and_Sister_Hyde].

Looks as though white ladies in that part of [what was] England may need a subcompact weapon such as a Derringer in their handbags: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derringer#Modern_designs. Pity that the law as it now is makes that practically impossible.

Even Penny Mordaunt, arguably the least objectionable of a pathetically-poor bunch, has had to parrot the NWO/ZOG line about supporting the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

Britain has and has had no historical or current links with Ukraine, not of any importance. This is not our fight.

2022, the first year of the 33-year cycle leading up to and beyond the half-century. Everything is being intensified now, in order to create a dystopian society of controlled serfs.

Ukraine

The Jew Zelensky, having sacked many diplomats, including ambassadors, now moves on others: see https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/18/ukrainian-spy-chiefs-dismissal-renews-questions-over-russian-infiltration.

Can it be that many even in the Kiev regime see accommodation with Russia as a better medium-term goal than confrontation which Ukraine cannot win?

As to other aspects of the Zelensky near-dictatorship:

Zelenskiy, widely feted on the world stage as a wartime leader, had been dogged on the domestic stage before the invasion by accusations that he had named inexperienced outsiders, including friends, to jobs in which they were out of their depth.” [Guardian].

A fact that actually surprised me is that the SBU (security directorate) has no less than 30,000 members; and that predated the invasion. In a country with only 44 million inhabitants. Compare that to the few thousand equivalent officials and employees in the UK.

The Kiev-regime Ukraine is and has been for 30+ years, a corrupt, Jewish-ruled, shambolic, dictatorial, and quite vicious, failed state.

Military situation:

The Russian military has declared a goal to cut off Ukraine’s entire Black Sea coast all the way to the Romanian border. If successful, the effort would deal a crushing blow to the Ukrainian economy and trade, and allow Moscow to secure a land bridge to Moldova’s separatist region of Transnistria, which hosts a Russian military base.” [Guardian].

Exactly what I have been blogging for months: Russian forces intend to take the coasts of the Sea of Azov (already accomplished) and Black Sea (about half now occupied), and then to occupy territory inland to a depth of perhaps 50, perhaps 100 miles. They also intend to take all or most (probably all) of Ukraine lying east of the river Dnieper. That would eventually also include, probably, Kiev itself.

Even in today’s Conservative Party, such asinine words and judgments stand out. I had scarcely heard of Bill Wiggin until today, but I have just seen his biographical details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Wiggin.

Provisional assessment? A rather silly fellow, who was also a pretty dishonest expenses cheat (see the Wikipedia entry).

I also notice that, despite his silver-spoon wealthy background (father was also a knighted Conservative Party MP, and Bill Wiggin was sent to Eton), the present Wiggin then took his degree (Economics) at Bangor University rather than somewhere like Oxford. A maverick choice, or could he not get into the latter?

Jesus H. Christ! So it is quite likely that the aged ranks of the Conservative Party rank and file will be asked to make a sage choice between a globalist Indian —who is plainly not quite the “clever boy” many thought two years ago— and either a Nigerian woman or dishonest and none-too-intelligent (or educated) Liz Truss?

It seems possible that the choice will be between a Nigerian and an Indian. Britain is sliding very very fast now.

Incidentally, how many white English are there in the corrupt and incompetent parliaments of Nigeria or India? That’s right— none.

There are still nuts and/or hypochondriacs out there for whom having, having had, or being in fear of getting, “Covid” is a major part of their self-image, their actual identity in fact.

Diary Blog, 15 November 2021, including thoughts about charities and “good causes”

Charities

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10202001/Charity-employing-Carrie-Johnson-paid-bosss-wife-150-000-design-services-accounts-show.html

The newspaper report relates to the Aspinall Foundation [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aspinall_Foundation].

The charity that employs Carrie Johnson paid more than ÂĢ150,000 to its chairman’s wife for interior design services last year.

The figure paid by the Aspinall Foundation equates to ten per cent of all donations received from public and corporate donors in 2020.

The organisation and its sister charity the Howletts Wild Animal Trust are already being investigated by the Charity Commission over their spending and financial management.”

The Daily Mail report triggers thoughts about several different areas: the present rotten government, headed by part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer, “Boris” Johnson and his Cabinet of clowns; the whole area of charities and “good causes”; and a few personal reminiscences.

The Aspinall Foundation was founded by the egregious John Aspinall [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Aspinall_(zoo_owner)],

Aspinall’s mother was later married to Sir George Osborne [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_George_Francis_Osborne,_16th_Baronet], one of their 3 children being Sir Peter Osborne, who married a Hungarian-Jewish woman, that couple then having 4 children, one of whom is Gideon “George” Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer under David Cameron-Levita.

In other words, George Osborne is related to the present head of the Aspinall Foundation, Damian Aspinall (son of John Aspinall).

Around 1995, when I still lived in Little Venice, West London, I was acquainted with a lady of middle age called…well, let’s just call her by my nickname for her, “Mouse” (probably now-deceased). That lady had known John Aspinall’s brother or rather (I think) half-brother, rather well, and had stayed at the country house in Kent which also houses the zoo:

Over drinks at “the Bunker”, our name for the cellar bar at the Colonnade Hotel in Little Venice, I was told Mouse’s assessment of John Aspinall: ruthless, someone who much preferred animals to people, and who regarded the death of keepers at the zoo (five of whom were killed by the animals) as not very important; collateral damage, if you like.

Apparently, in his early days as an illegal or near-legal gaming operator, in the 1950s, Aspinall had more than once had to ask his wife for her jewellery, to cover outstanding gaming debts.

By 1960, though, Aspinall’s activities had brought fortune, if not always a good name.

The present Aspinall, Damian Aspinall, son of John, is extremely wealthy, and his wealth is said to have come from real estate operations unconnected, originally, with gambling as such: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damian_Aspinall.

Whatever may be said about the way in which the Aspinall Foundation is said to be run, the work it has done with wild animals is said to have been very good, and in some respects pioneering.

Judging from what I have both read and been told, it seems that both Aspinall father and Aspinall son could say, “I did it my way“…

What about charities generally? There has been much criticism over the years of the loose oversight exercised by the Charity Commission.

Charity was originally a matter for the individual or the (Roman Catholic) Church. Taxation scarcely came into the matter. Once England started to become a more secular society, in Tudor times, legislation had to regulate what was or was not a “charitable” activity. The Statute of Elizabeth [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charitable_Uses_Act_1601] set down a list of “charitable” activities.

The Statute of Elizabeth was repealed in the 19thC, but the list of what is considered charitable still largely stands, clarified (or not) by case law precedent.

That is why, for example, the National Lottery of the UK has a fund not for “charity” but for “good causes”, a far wider ambit.

Many of the public concerns around charities have been caused by the way in which the larger charities soliciting money from the public pay their top-level employees. For many, it was shocking to learn that the husband of assassinated MP, Jo Cox, one Brendan Cox, was not only a sex pest and rapist or near-rapist [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5404241/Jo-Coxs-husband-admits-sex-pest-resigns.html] but was being paid something like ÂĢ200,000 by the charity Save the Children, which churns out tearjerk TV ads and so on, which ads solicit donations and bequests from kind-hearted members of the public.

Indeed, Cox’s friend and fellow sex-pest, Justin Forsyth, who had been at the material times chief executive of Save the Children, had to resign from UNICEF after similar allegations emerged about him…see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_Children#Executive_Brendan_Cox_quits_after_women’s_complaints_of_’inappropriate_behaviour’. Forsyth had been paid about ÂĢ300,000 p.a while heading Save the Children! Truly, for these bastards, charity begins at home!

There seems to be no good reason why such high salaries are paid. Brendan Cox, for example, had a rather modest academic and work background: see https://uk.linkedin.com/in/brendan-cox-433b364.

I was myself shocked to learn, many years ago, that the (effectively) fraudulent MP and expenses cheat, Derek Conway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Conway], after he was first removed from Parliament in 1997, had not only been appointed as Chief Executive of the Cats’ Protection League [now Cats’ Protection], but also been paid, if memory serves, something like ÂĢ150,000 a year, a not inconsiderable sum in the 1990s. I favour that charity, which like many others has collecting tins here and there, but some of these executives, in the British Army phrase, really “tear the arse out of” their appointments.

This is very negative to the image of all charities, and leads to public distrust, thus hampering the valuable work that so many charities do.

No-one expects executives of large charitable organizations to work for nothing, or for peanuts, but there is a case, as elsewhere in our society, for decent measure.

It may be time to look again at what should constitute a charity, and to regulate the big charities, especially, more closely.

Liverpool bomb

Surprised this morning when watching a few minutes of BBC TV News (something I rarely bother with these days), and to hear the BBC reporter say that the (presumed) terrorist bomber in Liverpool had “sadly” died. What?!

No need, I think, for me to expand on my point.

Covid nonsense

While watching some news on TV briefly, also saw and heard that absurd van Tam person talking (seemingly endlessly) about “Covid” statistics. Something about how one group of people in one area had extremely high rates of hospitalization, “7.1% per 100,000 people“!

[7.1 or 7.1%?]

So, in a town such as Reading, of over 200,000 inhabitants, about 15 people might be hospitalized over the period mentioned (and almost all recover after a few days or a week or so).

[So either 15 people or 15,000 people! The latter would surely be absurd, nicht wahr?].

This is a public health problem that is nowhere near existential. Scrap all “measures”, fake laws, “rules” and all but mild advice.

Austria

This will only end when people, in numbers, not only start to say “NO!” but also start to punish the “authorities”, i.e. the System, and the “facilitators” of tyranny.

If even 10,000 Austrians were to go to the centre of Vienna, each armed with a mallet or hammer, and then were to break as many shop windows, and windows of government and police offices, as possible before being captured, that would make history. 10,000 freedom fighters, each breaking (say) 20 windows. 200,000 windows! Wien— Freiheit! Wien— das ist’s!!

Not that Austrians breaking windows will be sufficient, but it would be a start…
