Saturday quiz

Well, this week, 6/10, just trumping political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I admit that no.8 was a guess on my part; I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 6, and 7.

“You’re doing this on purpose now aren’t you Pink effing lights!!! You think that’s what people want?! God you’re disgusting.

Shove your stupid fairy lights you utter pathetic lily livered traitors!!! Sort this country out and the massive amount of Islamist males and mentally deranged men from Africa who are committing horrific crimes on a daily basis which you continue to ship in every day for us to pay for whilst you take every penny we have!

You’re a disgrace ! The people are angry !!!! Angry at what globalist liberal socialist measures have done to this once great cohesive nation. !!! Everything is breaking Our safety Our cohesion Our national identity Our public services breaking under the weight of the population explosion Our countryside you’re ripping up to house everyone Our education under woke bastardisation Our children being told not to be white not to be masculine not to be patriotic Our energy security – following the insanity of netzero and buying oil and gas from overseas when we have our own! Our food security as you fight against farmers and build on arable land and cover more land in metal solar panels

And you gaslighting us telling us we have no money and need to rob pensioners and yet in the same breath giving £11bn to foreign aid And to then stand there yesterday and say the ” far right ” Were the problem. Despicable .

I can’t think of one thing that the far right have done . My kids don’t fear the far right . Mums don’t wake at night worrying about far right grooming their girls, running around with machetes , bombing places . No We know the problem . Interpol knows the problem It’s importing a massive burden of men from 3rd world areas with often Islamist backward archaic ideologies. THATs the problem

You have let in a Trojan horse army. And you will not blame the exhausted British public who’ve put up with so much terror . You will be a leader and fix the actual problem Not the frustrated reaction after two decades of daily reports of evil committed on our streets . The public have been extremely tolerant. Beyond tolerant. No nation in the Middle East or China or Russia would have out up with one day of attacks like the U.K. has endured. And we’ve had 20+ years. The U.K. is weeping And it’s your fault. @Keir_Starmer#SackStarmer#StalinStarmer#StarmerResign“

Starmer-Labour is basically a bunch of traitors who have “marched through the institutions” (and professions) to create a pseudo-“elected” government now trying to lay down the structure of a multikulti and “woke” police state.

“Elected“? Only 4 voters, out of every 20 eligible, voted Labour.

That refers, in fact, to one Joanna Jarjue, a black woman who is (for no good reason) apparently on TV discussion-nonsense programmes occasionally. I had never heard of her, so looked her up online.

Turns out that Joanna Jarjue’s main and possibly only claim to (“15 minutes of”) “fame” was that she took part in the appalling TV show (fronted by the Jewish business person Alan Sugar) The Apprentice, seven years ago, in 2017. Sugar “fired” her before the final part of the contest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)_series_13#Candidates.

I don’t waste time on TV shows such as The Apprentice, but the format is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(British_TV_series)#Format

Basically, seems that Joanna Jarjue has put together a background or CV that, in reality, does not add up to very much (in my opinion)[https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-jarjue-261ab78a/?originalSubdomain=uk].

See also: https://www.gunjuronline.com/post/profile-joanna-jarjue

Now 30-31 years old, she runs some small digital marketing company in Leeds. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/joanna-jarjue-261ab78a_i-co-founded-a-proud-northern-digital-activity-7169376943765708800-0vWv/

Seems that every pointless “discussion-nonsense” show on “British” TV now needs to show how “diverse” it is by including a black person, whether it is that useless Nigerian “grifter” Femi Oluwole or some other, such as this Gambian woman, Joanna Jarjue (of whom I had never heard until 10 minutes ago, when I saw a tweet about her defending “trans” “women” boxers brutalizing real women boxers —of whom I also disapprove— on GB News).

I do not believe that women should be boxing anyway.

I make a distinction, though, between women boxing and women doing other “martial arts” such as judo or even taekwando (which latter I myself did for a few months in 1984). There, the contenders score points, but do not (in the sport versions) aim to batter each other to the ground. I admit that taekwando utilises aggression (my instructors were always shouting at me, or encouraging me, in such terms as “More aggression, Ian! More aggression!“) but in a different way to boxing (in my opinion).

I looked at the GB News video clip. The Jarjue woman obviously wants to hit the “right” buttons to get invited to make more (paid) TV appearances (cf. Ash Sarkar).

Ah, here she pops up again, again on GB News:

Thick as two short planks. Thinks that people are angry about the state of the country not for any substantive reason, but because of “social media”. Good grief…

Seems to be supporting the fake Labour attempt to destroy whatever free speech is still left in this country. What a surprise…

There have been quite a few scandals involving Muslim policemen. What about Jews in such jobs or offices? Are some of them abusing their office? We do not know, at this time.

System scribbler Dan Hodges uses the lazy “far right” label (as meaningless as “right” or “left”).

What Hodges means is, it is OK to sit in a dark room worrying about the migration invasion, or about the connected slow collapse of our society, but not OK to do much more than wring your hands, or maybe tweet something (or blog something).

The (((usual suspects))) and their “antifascist” dupes and/or loonies have often called me “far right” (inter alia) but I have not burned down any police stations (nor even “incited” anything of the sort).

I was not alone in predicting a short or non-existent “honeymoon” period for Starmer-Labour. Others, though not many, echoed my view; Matt Goodwin for one (and he makes money out of his blogging…well, that’s life…).

There are many reasons for Starmer-Labour having no popularity among the British people (excepting —some— Labour Party members, and/or the grifting online professional “anti-Tory” know-nothings such as “@supertanskiii”).

First of all, Starmer and his crew have no ideas worth a plugged nickel. Look at the stupid decision to halt so many infrastructure projects recently. Infrastructure investment is the very foundation for later prosperity, though I agree for other reasons with the halt to the HS2 vanity-rail nonsense, and with the scrapping of the Stonehenge tunnel (the better idea there would be a bypass, built a mile or more away).

Rachel Reeves is someone without any ideas worth anything, and I think that Starmer is similar. As to Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper, need the question even be put?

Secondly, money is being cut off from British people who need it, including pensioners.

Meanwhile, however, Starmer has agreed to waste THREE BILLION POUNDS A YEAR on “aid” to “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev led by the corrupt tyrant and former sleazy comedian, Zelensky).

Starmer is also throwing money at the —actually not very useful— junior NHS doctors, who only have to endure modest pay for a few years anyway before getting to fairly high salary levels. At the same time, the planned NHS hospital building and rebuilding programme has been stopped, more or less.

That is even before you start to look at the Starmer-Labour plan to destroy what little free speech exists still in this country.

Starmer was mainly (I think) a prosecutor, certainly best known for having been Director of Public Prosecutions. Looking at him, I have always been reminded of what Chekhov said to Gorky after having met, en passant, a smug young prosecutor in pre-revolutionary Russia: “…and it is pimples on the backside of humanity, like that, who dispose of the fate of people!”…[Gorky, Literary Portraits, trs. Ivy Litvinov]: see https://archive.org/details/maxim-gorky-literary-portraits-flph-1950.

[Gorky, at right of photo, with Chekhov in 1900.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Chekhov; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_Gorky]

Chekhov also said that every prosecutor he had ever met liked to fish. Well, I have no idea whether Starmer does. Perhaps not, though he does eat fish: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/uks-new-pm-keir-starmer-is-the-1st-jewish-pescatarian-to-ascend-the-position/articleshow/111558669.cms?from=mdr, the India Times incidentally having —apparently wrongly— identified Starmer as a Jew in that headline (his wife is the Jewish half of the couple). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer#Personal_life.

The non-existent Starmer-Labour “honeymoon” period is, of course, also a function of the unpopularity of Labour at the pseudo-“landslide” General Election, Labour having (as I repeatedly point out, but the msm rarely do) only been voted for by 4 out of every 12 people who voted (and only 4 out of every 20 if you include the 40%+ of eligible voters who did not vote at all).

A bad combination: a government voted for by, at best, 34% of the adult population (but really only by about 20%), but pretending that it is wildly popular and has a “mandate” to pass repressive laws etc.

Here we go…sex-pest depressive “Lord Walney” (former Labour Party MP John Woodcock), a complete puppet of the Israel lobby, aka Jewish Zionist lobby (former Chair of Labour Friends of Israel), and a System drone who was ejected from the Commons by the voters, only to have been then “elevated” (in his case I cannot bring myself to write “ennobled“) to the pathetic House of Lords by a Conservative Party PM, “Boris” Johnson, himself a part-Jew and strong supporter of Israel, of course.

I assessed Woodcock a couple of times, but years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/02/09/diary-blog-9-february-2021-including-further-assessment-of-john-woodcock/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/05/04/john-woodcock-barrow-and-furness-and-the-general-election-2017/.

Incidentally, looking at “Lord Walney” in that photo, he really has aged in the past few years. He looks drugged or something, as well.

Even leaving aside the civil rights and human rights implications of “Walney’s”/Woodcock’s suggestion, what an incredibly irresponsible and ridiculous thing to suggest, to “lock down” the UK again.

The “Covid” “lockdowns” were both dictatorial and unnecessary anyway, but the point here is the huge economic damage done by them in 2020-2021. Now Woodcock/”Walney” wants to “lock down” the country again, merely because a few cars have been overturned and a police station “up North” burnt out! I don’t recall him suggesting that when non-Brits (such as the Gypsies of Harehills, Leeds) were doing the same or worse only a week ago.

Just what the UK needs— more economic damage. What a prize careerist idiot John Woodcock/”Lord Walney” is.

Well, a suggestion does come to my mind, but it is very boring having to explain the law etc to police who arrive at the door of my now-very-humble home (something that has happened several times in recent years by reason of malicious complaints about me made by Jew-Zionist extremists), so on this occasion I shall keep my “rebellious” ideas to myself…

English rebellion? Reminiscent of areas of Belfast (etc) prior to Operation Motorman in 1972 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Motorman].

The crowds probably sense something bad coming their way.

Maybe so. Probably so. In any case, turning over police cars etc is of little lasting effect. I think that, in the conditions of censorship that now prevail in the UK, I can say no more.

Can you imagine that a substantial minority of the American electorate actually want that stupid creature to be President of the USA?

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 8 (in fact I had read about the last, but had forgotten it).

Historical note

On this day, 80 years ago, backstabbers attempted to kill Adolf Hitler and then to seize power in Berlin and over the Third Reich: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_July_plot.

Classical Hochverrat [“high treason”].

I am willing to accept that some of the conspirators acted out of a sense of higher duty, and with the idea of bringing a halt to the war on the Western Front, and so also bringing a halt to the devastating aerial bombing of Germany (which eventually killed as many as 800,000 people). However, to attempt the assassination of the head of both state and government at such a time of crisis can only be seen as treason, if the term has any meaning [see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/01/08/treason-is-a-matter-of-timing/].

The conspirators wanted to call a halt, via armistice or truce, on the Western Front but continue to fight Stalin’s Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. They seem to have believed that the Americans and British would have accepted that. Not impossible, but very unlikely. Roosevelt and Churchill, at the Casablanca Conference in early 1943 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca_Conference] had jointly called for the war against the German Reich to be fought until the latter declared unconditional surrender.

I cannot but feel some understanding of the motives of the 20 July 1944 conspirators, despite their treason, and despite their attempt to kill Hitler. They wanted to keep Germany, and all Central Europe, from being completely obliterated. They were unaware at the time of the progress being made by Jewish scientists in the USA towards the development of an atomic bomb (originally planned to be used against Germany, not —primarily— Japan); had they known of it, they would perhaps have felt doubly justified.

The 20 July plotters gambled for the highest stakes, and lost.

I do not “condone” the actions of the plotters; neither do I “condemn” them (and my views make no difference either way). Let history judge. Die Weltgeschichte ist das Weltgericht [“the history of the world is the judgment of the world”— Schiller].

[Dresden 1945, after Allied, mainly British, bombing]
[Hamburg, probably in 1945, showing some of the damage done by the British and American bombers in July 1943, 81 years ago, but after rubble had been cleared: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Hamburg_in_World_War_II]

[Reichskanzlei —Reich Chancellery— Berlin, 1945, after the devastating defeat of the Reich]
[Berlin 1945: Marshal Zhukov inspects the ruins of the Reichstag]

Let us hope that creatures of evil such as Ursula von der Leyen do not succeed in provoking or instigating another such regional or world war, which would be, this time, even more devastating for Germany, all of Europe, and the world as a whole.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13652631/Roma-police-Leeds-riots-locals.html

“Inside the Roma community ‘persecuted’ by police: How violent Leeds riots were the latest act of lawlessness to hit a deprived suburb where ‘a problem for one is a problem for all‘.

Many have large families, and around 5,000 Roma are now believed to live in the deprived neighbourhood, attracted by its spacious three-story terraces and low house prices.

Harehills has long been one of the most ethnically diverse areas of Leeds.“

[Daily Mail]

Even that Daily Mail report, if you read it in full, bends over backwards to be “nice” and “liberal” towards the Roma Gypsy “community”.

If I comment here about the bastards, no doubt the “usual suspects” will make yet another malicious complaint to the police (our new poundland Stasi) about me, which would be (again) a bore and a nuisance, so I shall allow the readers of the blog to read between the lines, as in other police states.

Well, 7/10 this week, thus beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, and 10, though I was at least in the right area re. question 7.

That idea, that the online pseudo-political “grifters” (“Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly”, Julia Grace Patterson etc) will have to nuance their begging appeals now that the hated “Tories” have switched places with the supposedly better but actually quite similar (in policy terms) Starmer-Labour, had occurred to me.

I doubt that the online fraudsters need to worry too much, though. Their target audience is almost begging to be cheated, and will accept as true almost any variation in the “facts” put forward. You only have to look at the lies of “Jack Monroe” over the years. Stunningly unbelievable. Like something from a book of fairy stories. Yet the “useful idiots” believe…and continue to send money to her.

There is a belief around that “mainstream” political parties must aim to be in the non-existent or notional “centre”.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I effectively never use the descriptors “right”, “left”, “centre” etc in that way.

What matters is policy, and what matters to the people is the overall effect of policy on their lives. The Conservative Party failed the people in terms of how their confused policy offering actually affected or changed, or failed to change, the lives and lifestyles of the people. Labour is about to follow suit, in my opinion.

A frequently-encountered problem in our society of pervasive b******t…

…said well-known political journalist John Rentoul in...2014. Oh…

That aged well…

Sunak is already forgotten. It is as if the little Indian money-juggler departed the stage (pursued by a bear?) years ago, rather than nine days ago.

Talking point

Not that Churchill himself wanted to finish off the British Empire. He wanted, in an ideal world, to destroy National Socialist Germany and, at the same time, the Soviet Union.

Churchill’s strategic ineptitude (seen in numerous examples throughout his career) led not only to the destruction of the German Reich, followed by the division of mainland Europe into a Stalinist sector in the East, and a basically American, or notionally Anglo-American, sector in the West, but also to the destruction of all the European empires, and thus their generally civilizing influence over Asia, Africa (including North Africa) etc

The same basic division in Europe (though into 4 national sectors) was carried out in much of Germany and Austria for several years after WW2, with the capital cities (Berlin and Vienna) likewise divided.

Vienna was divided until 1955, Berlin until 1989, and France was, as a notional Western ally, given one sector despite having been defeated in 1940, partly occupied the same year, and fully-occupied in November 1942 (and having not participated in the defeat of the German Reich).

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

The end of WW2 led directly to the collapse of European rule across the world. The colonies of Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands etc were decolonized, some almost immediately, some much later. Thus began the environmental degradation and loss of wildlife across Asia, Africa, the Pacific etc, which situation continues even today, as do the wars, civil wars, corruptions and tyrannies of the formerly colonial territories.

Churchill, an educated and erudite man who was also completely wrong in his political judgment(s) was, so to speak, “the wrong man at the wrong time”, though the accepted System/msm narrative says the opposite, of course.

As for Britain itself after WW2, I recommend the books of the very underrated Correlli Barnett: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett#Writings

As Barnett points out in one or two of those books, after WW2 Britain would have been able to do one of three things well, possibly even two of those things: maintain its status as a great power; regenerate its economy; create a Welfare State. Britain tried to accomplish all three, but was unable to do so satisfactorily. Britain had been beggared by its war against the German Reich.

These three aims or tasks (or problems) are still with us, in some or another form, today.

Britain today is the “also ran” in respect of its military power, its society (Welfare State, NHS, State education etc), and economy.

As far as Barnett is concerned, I should say that he was right far more often than he was wrong.

Incidentally, Barnett was probably denied a knighthood, a life peerage, and other official honours (he did get a CBE) by reason of his having spoken, or strongly implied, the unsayable— that Britain should never have declared war on the German Reich or, having declared war in September 1939, should have concluded an armistice sometime after Dunkirk, in mid to late 1940, before too much hurt and damage had been done in western and central Europe.

Reform UK

Reform UK’s vote suffers from being wide, indeed nationwide (though not so strong in Scotland), but shallow. 14.29% across the board could easily have meant zero seats anywhere, rather than the 5 Reform actually captured.

The LibDem vote, only 12.22% nationally, was nonetheless concentrated here and there. Result— 72 MPs.

Reform UK, to me, seems to be in a fairly good position to concentrate some of its overall support in certain parts of the country, and certain constituencies, just like the LibDems. For Reform, that would be, primarily or firstly, in the East of England and the East Midlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#By_nation_and_region.

In the East of England, Reform UK scored 17.5% of the vote; in the East Midlands, 18.9%.

Indeed, though Reform won no GE 2024 seats in the West Midlands or North-East England, its vote was still high— 18.1% in the former, and 19.9% in the latter (less than half a point behind the Conservative Party). Reform was also not very far behind the Conservative Party in the West Midlands.

Reform UK came second in 98 constituencies, of which 89 were won or held by Labour.

It is not impossible to surmise that, if the Conservative Party vote were to collapse further in those 98 seats, Reform UK might capture some, many, or even all of them.

That would be even more likely, arguende, if Starmer-Labour in government disappoints the mass of the people, as I believe it will.

Late tweets seen

I am glad that I am not alone in having noticed the sickening sycophancy of the “occupied” UK msm towards Starmer-Labour (though would anyway be unconcerned were I the only one).

Today, on Sky News, I caught literally seconds of the end of a piece by some sports journalist woman. Her take was that, with “England” in the final game of some football contest, and a new Labour (New Labour?) government in power, it feels (she claimed) like the dawning of a new era. I believe that was the brainless and derivative way in which she put it.

Of course, Starmer-Labour will probably be in power until 2029, so the msm drones naturally want to curry favour, but I think that the said sycophancy goes beyond even that. I think that many in the msm seriously believe that Starmer-Labour is wonderful and will bring about some minor “golden age”.

I see no real connected thinking in the msm about what happens when the UK is importing literally a million invaders every single year, about what happens when a Labour government is harder on workers, the unemployed, the sick, the disabled than has been the past 14 years of “Conservative” government (etc).

What happens when the lights go out? What happens when lawlessness finally overwhelms a fairly civilized court and legal system which evolved over long periods but which is now already swamped?

Also, with a deadhead like Lammy as Foreign Secretary, what happens to Britain’s already-tattered international standing?

What interests me is what will be happening 2025-2029 under the surface of the Labour Party pseudo-landslide Commons majority.

Who can forget Ed Miliband at Copenhagen in 2005, bleating outside the UN conference (so badly-organized that he was not allowed in at first) about the fake “3/5/7/whatever years to save the world” narrative? I also recall that little monkey, who was the President of the Maldives, jumping up and down and clapping once he realized that his country might receive millions in “climate aid” in case the Maldives sank below the waves (nearly 20 years later, though, it is still there).

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 5, and 8, and was unsure about question 6, so also did not award myself a point for that even though I knew it was one of two particular architects.

GE 2024

Not only that, but Starmer-Labour’s vote-share of 33.8% was, of course, 33.8% of those that bothered to vote. Turnout was only 60%, so Starmer-Labour’s share of the entire eligible electorate was only 20.28%. That’s before you even take into account those too young to vote.

So active support for Starmer-Labour is, at best, little more than 20%, one in five of the eligible electorate. Even then, one has to consider that —as I have blogged since a long time prior to the General Election— the main motivation for all voters, except the quite small minority that actually voted Conservative, was to get rid of the Conservative government and, if possible, party, not to install a Starmer-Labour government.

It is quite likely that only about 10%-15% of the population really support Starmer-Labour.

Of course, it is worse for the Conservative Party. On the above bases and premises, real support for the Conservatives, in the country as a whole, is somewhere between 5% and 14%. Much worse than their headline 23.7% vote-share.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election

Nearly 60% of voters, of the 60% who voted, voted for one of the three main System parties, but if you factor in the non-voting eligible voters, that means that a minority (well below 40%) of all eligible voters voted for a System party . Then factor in younger people unable to vote, and the true “support” figure for the System, let alone the Starmer-Labour part of it, reduces to somewhere abound 20% (with Labour having maybe 15%, as already noted).

I doubt that Jess Phillips will be MP after 2029. No doubt she will be using the next 4-5 years to coin as much money as she can for herself and her family.

Why has the UK (msm and, therefore, public) adopted the Americanism of describing every former soldier, even if his (or her) service consisted of 3 years in a completely safe UK-based and/or non-combatant unit, as a “veteran“?

Puts my teeth on edge.

“Her son literally sells his wife Only Fans, and she has no experience outside of being a trade Union representative, is she remotely qualified or experienced enough to hold the office she has? These are valid questions. But we could ask this of the entire cabinet? Literally none of them have experience of my distinction outside of playing politics. Look at the business Secretary, he has literally never owned or even worked in a business? What knowledge can he possibly bring to the role? These are important questions, that can’t simply be brushed aside with a few slurs.“

Interesting.

Look at thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy, now Foreign Secretary.

Admittedly, recent years have seen quite a few deadhead appointees to Cabinet anyway (including, as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss and “Boris”-idiot), but look at this!

The only way this undeserved huge-majority Starmer-Labour government will not crash and burn within 1-2 years will be if it can stop mass immigration into the UK (I doubt that it will even try), and stop the cross-Channel “small boats” migration invasion (Starmer will probably simply set up “processing centres” in France, then rubberstamp 95% of applicants).

Starmer will also have to reconcile the “need” (caused mainly by mass immigration) to build huge numbers of new and really affordable houses and flats, meaning council or other social housing, and at the same time not trash the —mainly— English countryside, including Green Belt land.

Starmer-Labour will probably not have the money to build millions of dwelling units, so will turn to private housebuilding carpetbaggers, and so will probably let them loose on what should be protected countryside. Starmer will all but demolish planning controls answerable to local people.

I can see even worse bullying of the sick, disabled, and unemployed. Look at Rachel Reeves and Liz Kendall. Do you really see any compassion (or any particularly high intellect, or any willingness to think outside the box) there? I don’t.

Looks also as if the UK will continue to throw support, including money and weapons, to both “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) and Israel.

I see no higher (indeed, lower) living standards in prospect. Mass immigration inevitably means lower pay (whatever some Twitter-twits may think), and also higher taxes (because most of the immigrants are, at best, parasitic overall, and many are prolifically criminal as well).

The fabric of society will continue to fray, both by reason of the importation of about a million non-Europeans each year and because of cultural and administrative factors.

In short, this new pseudo-landslide government will almost certainly fail the British people, and fail quickly. After the people wake up to that, anything is possible.

I recall reading a Russian-language book about Dzerzhinsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky], sometime around 1982. When he was, in the early 1920s, and amid his other responsibilities, head of the rail industry, he discovered considerable inefficiency, corruption etc. He had some executives and other people shot. Apparently, his methods, harsh though they certainly were, checked the problem sufficiently until systemic improvements were implemented: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky#Director_of_Cheka.

Just a thought.

Labour’s less sanguinary alternative.

Some industries are, in the contemporary era, better under public ownership. Rail. Domestic water supply. Most electricity. Most if not all gas.

Oh, right…let’s have a “bas-class” Mauritian Indian and pro-Israel puppet as “Conservative” leader and, later, potential (will never happen, though) Prime Minister…

No thanks…

I always said that the reason why British people, most of them, have not turned to social nationalism over my lifetime [b.1956] is because not enough of them were hurting enough. Not enough of them hurting enough and not enough of them knowing where to place the blame and, also, not enough of them knowing where to place their trust.

The situation at present, as I see it, is that living standards are now falling (and have been for some time), that social and civic standards are in most respects at an all-time low, and still sliding, and that the background and intellectual level of MPs is at an all-time low, as is public trust in, and respect for, them.

All those above factors are getting worse, more pronounced. At the same time (and connected to the above), mass immigration is totally out of control. Not just the cross-Channel “illegals”, but the “legals” coming in on student visas, work visas, “family and friends” visas, “fiancee” visas, tourist visas (the “tourists” then disappearing or claiming asylum) and the rest. A million a year, give or take.

That whole situation has been the background for the loss of confidence in the Conservative Party, and is also the reason why Starmer-Labour is also actually quite unpopular, despite its “landslide by default”.

The happy cheers from TV studios and from System journalists such as John Rentoul are not echoed by the British people.

The situation on the ground is why Reform UK, despite its semi-“libertarian” bias, and its often underwhelming candidates, has managed to get 5 MPs and (arguably as important) over 4 million votes.

When Starmer-Labour falters, in 2025 or 2026, the British people may be ready for a much more radical movement of the “Overton Window”, policies well beyond those of Farage’s Reform UK.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Vallance#Minister_of_State_for_Science

So it begins…

I notice also that Nick Boles, pro-Israel and a Bilderberg attendee, may be another to join the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Boles#Policy_positions; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Meeting.

The System has several faces…

Tweeter “@jdpoc”, a self-describing “antifascist”, used to occasionally tweet rubbish about me, too. He has (as people now say) “issues”; he has made one or two guest appearances on one of my blog posts: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have never favoured the Rwanda plan, for several reasons (impracticability, cost, probability of political instability in Rwanda, numbers etc), but of course the cancellation will encourage the migrant-invaders (even more).

It is alarming to see (though Twitter is not at all typical of the mass of the public) how many idiots of the “Janet Cobb” type there are in the UK. Unwitting (?) gravediggers of our people’s future. Take a look at her Twitter/X timeline. Incredible wilful stupidity.

Now we see how Starmer intends to run his “elected” dictatorship. As a dictatorship. A Zionist-influenced or controlled tyranny. We are only on day 2 so far…

Jacqui Smith. Expenses cheat and freeloader, but that’s OK because she has the imprimatur from Israel…

…and then, after those who stole and grifted for years get chucked out in elections, those same cheats and freeloaders (such as Jacqui Smith) get invited back into government, given a peerage (no need for silly elections, oh no…), and a ministerial portfolio! How wonderful “democracy” is!

“The Tories are unlikely to attract many Reform UK voters given…

– Only 36% would vote Tory if a Reform UK candidate wasn’t standing

– 61% are voting Reform despite thinking they won’t win in their seat

– 75% say the Tories and Labour are as bad as each other

– 74-76% dislike Rishi Sunak and the party.“

Desperate. I had not heard of that MP. Looks a bit of a careerist; tried to become a Police and Crime Commissioner at one point (came third in the election): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Moore_(MP).

Keighley has, with 2 exceptions, been a “bellwether” constituency since 1959, so is likely to fall to Labour this time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keighley_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I cannot think that those attempts at confusing the voters (of High Peak and also Keighley) will work. After all, most people vote according to party label, so when the voter is faced with a ballot paper, the “X” is placed by the party more than the candidate’s name.

Clacton

Had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakanda.

Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Labour candidate, seems to come out of a black activist (African; Ghanaian) background in Nottingham: see https://heartofthenation.migrationmuseum.org/stories/sylvia-owusu-nepaul/.

About 25. Never had a non-political job, in fact has never had any job except a couple of p/t “internships”. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovan-owusu-nepaul-3a95b17b/.

The candidate’s aunt has also been socio-politically active: see https://gala.gre.ac.uk/id/eprint/7138/1/Owusu-Kwarteng_Between_Two_Lives_2010.pdf.

This Labour candidate is a kind of less-prominent Femi Oluwole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole

Labour has, since 2010, when the present constituency of Clacton was established, never scored higher than 25.4% of the votes cast there; that was in 2017. The lowest was 11.2%, at the by-election of that year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Labour has no chance at Clacton, a famously “left behind” and white British area. To choose an African “eternal student” as candidate is almost insulting to the voters there. Moreover, one whose social media posts make clear his hostility to the real people of the UK.

Despite Labour’s overall “popularity by default” in the nationwide campaign, I should not be surprised if its vote-share at Clacton were to dip below 10%.

The frightening thing is not that such a candidate is standing in Clacton, where Labour has little or no chance; it is that, across the country, similarly-hostile individuals are likely to be elected next month for Labour. God help the poor English people of these islands.

Not quite what I want to see: too many Con MPs. A couple of unexpected wrinkles too, such as Reform UK with 7 seats, and the SNP with 37, more than twice the number predicted elsewhere.

While the Con Party is toast pretty much whatever happens between now and 4 July, in some respects the General Election is quite open. A substantial minority are either undecided as to for which party they might vote, or are undecided as to whether to bother to vote at all.

That may mean a better than expected Con Party performance, a better than expected Labour (or even LibDem) performance but, most intriguingly, perhaps an even better than expected Reform UK vote, either as a targeted anti-Con vote, as a serious “I am dissatisfied” protest vote, or an angry “F.U., System parties!” vote.

The election is shaping up to be both interesting and important, perhaps even historic.

So will you, probably!

As people, from what I have seen online etc, ex-officer Mercer and his lady wife seem like a pleasant couple, but we are talking serious politics here.

Mercer has increased his majority steadily and considerably since first elected in 2015, but the general unpopularity of his party, his poor performance as a minister, and his personal moneygrasping would seem to leave him exposed. Also, Reform UK may well eat into his 2019 vote. Well, we shall soon know.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week a very poor 3/10, the same as political journalist John Rentoul. I only knew the answers to questions 4, 5, and 8.

South Africa

White South Africans should never have given in to the ANC. They should have held out and fought on. In fact, they should have “doubled down” on everything.

After the fall of socialism from 1989, the Soviet Union all but collapsed, the DDR/East Germany imploded, Cuba suddenly became visibly what Soviet aid had disguised for 20+ years, i.e. a ramshackle Caribbean/Latin American dictatorship, and the African countries bordering South Africa fell even deeper into poverty, civil upheaval, corruption and crime.

In other words, the ANC and its “military”/terror wing would have had no means to carry on much of a war. If South Africa had held on, and had accelerated its plans for a kind of “Federation”, including some areas with African domestic autonomy, and had the white South Africans closed down most of the —mostly Jewish-owned— English-language newspapers (and TV), there would have been a kind of victory, or at least not the terrible situation that has developed in the past 30 years.

South Africa had, or was developing, advanced weaponry: nuclear, biological etc.

The Africans were, in effect, told that the reason most of them were poor was because the white man was, usually, richer. After “majority rule” (corrupt African crony rule) that would of course be different. The ANC failed, and inevitably failed, to deliver. Hence the African masses, their lives as bad or worse than under National Party apartheid rule, now turn to ever more extreme demagogues. The future seems bleak, both for most Africans and most of the remaining white South Africans, some of whom can trace their South African identity back to the 17thC.

What would (those Hitler called) “dirty democratic politicians” (and parties) do without mugs such as tweeter “@BoudicaWitch”?

There is no real difference between what fake Labour is saying and what Iain Dunce Duncan Smith was saying from 2010-2015. Wake up, for God’s sake.

Utter mugs. “Labour” is just a label now (like “Conservative”). Both parties are NWO/ZOG fronts. That “assessment” by tweeter “@RattusMalumus” is not an assessment at all but a pathetic grasping at straws.

Liz Kendall is another Labour Friends of Israel member. She is also as thick as two short planks.

God help Britain, with Labour likely to be gifted an “elected” dictatorship by default, thanks to the Sunak government’s total inability to govern.

[“but wait! I voted Labour!“…]

For me, this election means only one thing useful— to collapse the Conservative Party, resulting in a total imbalance of the rigged “two main parties” scam, after which (when Labour becomes hated and despised…give it 6-12 months) there may be a chance for real social nationalism to come to the fore, one way or another.

If my blog was said to have contained 5 posts (out of about 1,500 over several years) worthy of being prosecuted as “grossly offensive” (not really at all offensive), then how is it that Israel lobby/Jewish lobby puppet Luke Akehurst has never been prosecuted? Look at his tweet below:

Oh, wait…Akehurst supports Israel…that is why he has never been prosecuted.

[Update, 16 June 2024: looking again at Akehurst’s tweet above, I realize (anew) how illiterate it is. Is he a drunk? I do not know]

Liz Kendall is a human parrot. Not an original thought in her head.

See my previous comment.

Frighteningly thick, frighteningly dishonest.

I have no time for pro-Israel snake-oil salesman Farage, but I agree with the rest of that tweet.

The “experts” and specialists are still saying, most of them, that Con MPs will number 100-200 after 4 July, but I am holding out for <50; maybe wishful thinking, but that is my speculative guess, anyway.

Completely useless Nigerian would-be politico, who lives off his affluent parents (both NHS consultants) and whatever he can “grift” via social media etc, goes to Manhattan from the UK so that he can post a tweet of himself making a hand gesture at Trump Tower. Well, that’s another week in which the useless parasite need not get a job, at age 34. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole.

Incredibly, 412,000 people apparently follow that idiot’s Twitter/X account.

(In fact, I think that the said parasite’s New York odyssey was a couple of years ago).

Another one who claimed to be happy that he had emigrated to his beloved Israel. He was tweeting that only a week or two ago. He said that the UK was rubbish, finished etc, as well as being (of course) “antisemitic”, and that he was so happy to now live in Tel Aviv. Well, here he is again, like a bad penny, in (near) London.

Catspaws for Israel and the Jewish lobby. My view? See cartoon below:

https://twitter.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1796877169748066543

Unfortunately, so is Farage. So is Reform UK. The acid test is whether the Israel-lobby and/or Jewish lobby attack someone or his party. If so, then he and his party might or might not be OK; if not, then he and his party will either be a complete and useless nullity, or they are (to a greater or lesser extent) under “control”.

That includes TV, radio, and Press coverage.

Farage is always welcome on TV, for example. Same goes for Goodwin, as a matter of fact.

Were I to have a million followers, I should still not be “allowed” on TV, radio, or (uncensored) in the newspapers. You know (((why))).

A 1960s book was called I’m OK— You’re OK. Well, speaking ideologically, I know that I am OK, but you may or may not be…

“A police officer and his wife have been jailed after sharing video footage of a dead body at a murder scene.

Cameron Lee Hanson, 33, was a serving officer at Lancashire Constabulary when he visited a home in October 2021 and discovered the body of 45-year-old James O’Hara. Hanson’s body-worn camera recorded the chilling scene at the property in Lancashire.

But minutes later, he used his personal phone to take videos of Mr O’Hara and sent audio messages about the incident to his wife, Kirstie Hanson, 33, a police civilian work.

On Thursday, Cameron Hanson was jailed for 32 months, while Kirstie Hanson was jailed for 18 months. Charlotte Riley, who was sent one of the videos, received a 12-month sentence suspended for two years. Last April, Michael Hannan, 32, was jailed at Preston Crown Court for five years and four months for the manslaughter of Mr O’Hara who he punched in an unprovoked stranger attack.“

[Daily Mirror].

How absurd is the UK now? Yes, the defendants should not have done it. By all means sack the policeman, and maybe fine him, and his wife, and even the woman who was sent the material… but prison? Seems almost ridiculously harsh, as does the term imposed— a headline 32 months for sending some video footage, as against 64 months for the defendant who actually killed the victim!

Ha ha. Largan has those 4 dummies supporting him, but no-one else, probably.

Largan talks about “voting local“, when he himself was born some distance away, in or near the Salford part of SW Manchester; when parachuted into High Peak (Derbyshire), he was living in Fulham (London) and working for Marks & Spencer.

Largan was very happy to (metaphorically) kick local resident Alison Chabloz when she was down (persecuted by Jew-Zionists, and eventually imprisoned for singing and posting cartoons and videos).

Largan is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, needless to say. A nasty little man. I believe that he tweeted and/or retweeted a few times against me several years ago. Well, time for him to go back to “Marks and Sparks”…

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

In my own local zone, I should say that, in 2020-2022, and out of a close field, the “social distancing” outside Waitrose was the most absurd, all the compliant idiots (or were they secretly rebellious, as in North Korea?) lining up, 6 feet apart in the car park, monitored by self-important “security” nobodies. Oh…and muzzled (facemasked) as well.

Meanwhile, inside Waitrose, no social distancing, and a ludicrous “one way system” for shoppers. As for the facemask muzzles, the only real utility of them was probably for the shoplifters, who probably found them useful in defeating cctv operators etc.

Oh, yes…another aspect of that madness of a few years ago, locally, was the pub opposite Waitrose, where no social distancing, and no facemask muzzle “rules”, applied. What a farce the whole “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic was!

The Americans got “here”, or there, by allowing “the usual suspects” to become embedded in their society over time, embedded in positions of power and influence.

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a very modest 3/10; I trumped that with 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 4, 6, and 9; I literally guessed no. 3 (I think it was in the back of my mind, though; I may have seen it somewhere, somewhen).

Sidelights on English life

A very English murder

https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/news/suspected-murder-victim-finally-laid-to-rest-after-500-years-9367453/

“16th century possible murder victim laid to rest at St Mary the Virgin, in South Baddesley, after remains found on Sowley Beach in the New Forest.

A suspected New Forest murder victim was this week buried in a “once-in-a-lifetime” service, some 500 years after he met his end.

The remains of the unknown man were laid to rest about five centuries after he was initially disposed of in a “clandestine” fashion, as revealed by the A&T.

The 25-minute ceremony took place two years after his medieval-era skeleton was found in mysterious circumstances on a beach near South Baddesley.

[Steve West/A&T]

As reported in the A&T, after a lengthy investigation, archaeologists have since concluded that “foul play” may explain how he came to be there.

Tuesday’s special funeral took place at St Mary the Virgin, in South Baddesley. Around 50 attendees – comprising nearby residents, those who had been involved in research and local historians – came to pay their respects.

Mourners were greeted and handed a leaflet titled ‘The Funeral and Burial of the 16th Century Man Known only to God’.

The Very Rev Gordon Wynne conducted the service, which included a medieval hymn before the handmade wooden casket was buried in the church graveyard.

The funeral comes after police were alerted in May 2022 by local resident Graham Coulter who helped excavate the human remains after half a skull became exposed in the mud near the mouth of Lymington River.

Speaking after the ceremony, the chartered surveyor, who lives in Lymington, said: “I think it’s a nice reflection on Christianity and mankind. “It’s very moving. It’s nice people turned up to give him a proper send-off.”

The rare remains – of which 80% of the body was still present – were recovered from Sowley Beach. They were given a radiocarbon dating estimating them to have been buried in AD1450-1650.

An osteoarchaeologist who studied the 5ft 4in (1.63m) skeleton concluded it was likely to have been a 20 to 25-year-old adult male.“

[skull at time of discovery]

[New Milton Advertiser & Lymington Times; n.b. I have corrected a few errors of spelling etc]

The full report is a good read, though it is disappointing to see that the senior archaeologist at the local council thinks that 1450-1650 comes within the “mediaeval” period. Either the Renaissance or, just about, the early Enlightenment.

It was amusing somehow to read that a person holidaying in the area, and who attended that religious service, was one Kathryn Tudor! Like something from The Morning of the Magicians [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_of_the_Magicians].

Mrs. Tudor, however, is another who seems to imagine that the period in question was “mediaeval” (as does the local newspaper). Our English education must be to blame. G.K. Chesterton expressed a similar irritation to mine via his fictional Father Brown detective-priest, and that was a century ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_Brown.

Anyway, a murder case too late for Brother Cadfael [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadfael], and yet far too early for Inspector Morse [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Morse_(TV_series)], Poirot [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercule_Poirot], or even Sherlock Holmes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes].

Have I identified an historical gap in the market for detectives in literature? 1450 to 1650. I have never heard of a fictional detective operating in those centuries.

Well, that story is a delightful English vignette. Somehow charming, intriguing, and unsullied by contact with too much of England in 2024. More like something out of M.R. James [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._R._James].

A better class of shoplifter?

“A second haul of alcohol has been stolen from a Lymington store, which has now seen more than £1,000 worth taken over the two incidents.

As reported by the A&T yesterday (Thursday) 21 bottles of champagne valued at £717 were taken from Marks & Spencer on St Thomas Street on Tuesday 30th April, and CCTV pictures were released of a pair wanted by police.

Now officers have made a second appeal over an incident at the same store between 1.10pm and 1.40pm on Wednesday 15th May, when the eight bottles of champagne and spirits valued at £326 were taken.“

Interesting-sounding piece by dissident scientist/thinker Rupert Sheldrake; unfortunately, it is behind a paywall.

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

https://www.sheldrake.org/

How time flies. When I first heard of Rupert Sheldrake, in the early 1980s, he was a still-youthful 39 or 40, and I was in my mid-twenties. Now he is 81, nearly 82, incredibly, and I myself am no longer young (67).

Sheldrake was a touchstone for many. The editor of Nature described his work as literal “heresy“, and pretty much said that his books should be burned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake#%22A_book_for_burning?%22. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maddox#Sheldrake_editorial,_1981.

“I think it’s dangerous that people should be allowed by our liberal societies to put that kind of nonsense into currency” [John Maddox].

You can see the kind of thinking that leads to those people who doubt orthodox views, whether re. “climate change” aka “global warming”, or re. the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, or other matters, being pilloried, while others (msm talking heads, scribblers etc) parrot System orthodoxy, and say that the dissidents or freethinkers should be incarcerated, deprived of medical services, bankrupted etc.

Who has contributed more to science and to this country, Sheldrake, or Maddox? I say Sheldrake.

Incidentally, I see that Sheldrake’s wife, Jill Purce, is also an interesting personality (I had not known of her until today): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Purce.

“The NHS has today been accused of providing ‘inadequate’ pain relief to women who have suffered agonising childbirths. 

Under health service guidance, new mums can be discharged just a day after undergoing a C-section or vaginal birth. 

But they are advised to take just paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage symptoms. 

Campaigners and doctors slammed the move, claiming it was yet another example of women’s pain issues in healthcare being ignored or underplayed.“

Still clapping?

The fact is that we now have health rationing in the UK. There has always been an element of that but it is now becoming impossible to ignore. It is not OK to simply repeat the old slogans of “our NHS” etc and how the rest of the world supposedly envies it (which is not true in respect of most advanced countries).

I am totally in favour of “free at point of use”, but the existing NHS model is just not working. Resourcing is one factor, but attitude and ethos is another one, and one that must be addressed. Also, pervasive maladministration.

The elephant in the room, though, is mass immigration. A population of 56 million when I was growing up has become one, officially, of 65 million, and probably 70 million in reality, with about a million more coming in every single year. Something has to give. Various things are giving, are cracking. Health provision is one of those.

What the “Israelis” are doing in Gaza, what they have been doing for the past nearly 8 months, is a form of controlled sadism exercized mainly upon a helpless civilian population, and upon their even more helpless companion animals. This is not war but a kind of cruel and deliberate torture. Gott straf ihnen.

I was told a few years ago that, in the USA, hardly anyone not over 60 watched TV any more. I found it hard to believe, though even when I lived there (1989-1993, on-and-off), and on later visits (1999-2002), it was true that the people I knew watched very little TV, but at that time I think it was more of a class/education/cultural level thing, in those pre-mass Internet days).

When I lived in the USA, I was told (by my first wife, an American) that much of my own TV viewing was of a “redneck” nature. She even told her colleagues all about how I loved Unsolved Mysteries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsolved_Mysteries] and America’s Most Wanted [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Most_Wanted].

Do you see the way things are going? Labour, once a “socialist”/social democratic party, is now completely signed-up to the transnational finance-capitalist agenda, and to the “great replacement” of Europeans by non-Europeans in Europe, including the UK and Ireland: the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Look at Islington North. Symbolic. The very constituency represented for 41 years by a white man who is also a socialist (like Jack London, though Jack London said “I am a socialist, but a white man first“, unlike Corbyn…) and who was Leader of the Labour Party.

Corbyn’s replacement as Labour candidate— a non-European who is a health profiteer, along with his parents. I bet he is pro-Israel, too.

Now do you see it?

Ha ha! Has the little Indian money-juggler somehow failed to understand that, under “Conservative” misgovernment, immigration is running at about a million a year now, out of which “only” about 50,000 are coming here on small boats (in reality, often ferried in by UK Border Force, RNLI, and Royal Navy)?

Has Sunak not understood that 80% of “asylum-seekers”, even those entering in backs of trucks or on rubber boats, are eventually given “Leave to Remain” under a system and legal framework which came from the 1950s and is now totally ridiculous and out of date ?

No, Sunak knows all that. He just hopes that the British people do not.

Labour, of course, will just do the same but in a different way, by allowing almost all to enter the UK “legally”. Reality? No difference in terms of end-result.

Persons aged 16 are far more likely to vote Labour, at present (about 90%); thus Labour hopes to entrench its likely large majority of 2024 in 2029.

“Man proposes, God disposes“, though. Those 16-18 y-o voters of 2024, and their successors, might go another way completely after 5 years of (as I firmly expect) useless and yet repressive Starmer-Labour government.

On the wider point, if Goodwin is correct and Starmer intends to prevent any real democratic revolt against his planned “woke” tyranny, then he must expect the consequences. As John F. Kennedy said, “those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable“.

Imagine, if you will, Britain in 2034, after 10 years of Starmer-Labour.

A population of about 80 million or more, more non-European than white, at least in the main cities and towns; the country in an irreversible economic slide, with pay very low, and with State benefits equally low and restricted to ever-smaller groups; pensions not keeping pace with inflation; the roads scarcely repaired; the NHS even worse than under the “Conservatives”, and become a world leader in…waiting lists, poor treatment, and negligence; ever-greater numbers of blacks and browns (etc) flooding in, but the numbers officially concealed; Jewish-Zionist supremacism ever-more evident, but any criticism muzzled by even more restrictive and repressive “hate speech” laws.

Needless to say, by 2034, let alone 2044, the central areas of the cities will have become almost no-go areas for real Brits, as crime and disorder take hold. London is already halfway there.

In those circumstances, any measures taken by the British people themselves would be justified.

Starmer and Sunak’s Israeli friends— a history

A bandit state.

So that writes off the votes of the tiny minority of the young who might have voted Con. Beyond that, this is not a serious policy idea, more an attempt to shore up the collapsing Con vote among those 70+.

National Service ended over 60 years ago (gradually from 1957, though anyone born after 30 September 1939 was exempted). The last call-up was at the end of 1960; the last conscriptee was discharged in 1963.

In other words, only those (some) people of 85+, and who served under legal compulsion, would still be alive today.

Incidentally, who do you think will be taking all available jobs while the UK-born 18-21 y-o contingent are polishing boots, being beasted on assault courses, or being taught how to shoot hostile targets and not the local farmworkers? That’s right— the recent immigrants.

Just the way to achieve “community cohesion”…

This is some kind of pathetic appeal to misplaced nostalgia, designed (perhaps stupidly) to appeal to the very elderly (most of whom still vote Con anyway).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_the_United_Kingdom#After_1945

Quite right. Why should any young British men suffer and die (or live on, crippled) for the interests of Israel and NWO/ZOG?

You will not get much of interest from the likes of that “Akunjee” character.

Only the most awake (not “woke”) people understand that the NWO/ZOG System has chosen Starmer as its puppet to become an “elected” (via rigged selection and election procedures, FPTP voting etc) dictator, casting Britain into the pit of migration invasion, mass race-mixing and mixed breeding, and gigantic repression on free speech, dwarfing anything yet seen.

I still cannot understand why Sunak went out in the pouring rain to announce GE 2024. Was he trying to show the population that he is stoic, or a tough guy of some kind? What it said to me is that he is an absolute idiot, for all his paper qualifications; someone who does not know enough to put on a raincoat when it is raining hard, or at least have someone hold an umbrella over him. Someone such as that has not the basic nous to be Prime Minister.

Actually, what is the point of “National Service” even if the scheme could be enforced? In any serious war with Russia (the scenario constantly being pushed; no other exists), there will probably be a nuclear exchange before very long. The UK would be a, perhaps the, prime target for Russian attack. The “National Service” “chocolate soldiers” would be but pillars of ash long before being deployed anywhere outside the UK.

Come to think of it, how exactly would UK troops on any large scale be deployed? Both the air force and navy are now very small, and the air lift capacity very limited as well. As for the Royal Navy, its new aircraft carrier could carry a large number of troops, but it is not even defended by many naval fighter aircraft. It would probably be sunk long before it got to the Black Sea or Baltic.

This is all nonsense, worthy of some idiot such as Gavin Williamson, that deadhead: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

I was out early today, before 0700 hrs, and the English countryside was arguably at its best in the fresh breeze and sun of the early summer (though I also very much love the autumn). How terrible if those green trees and sculptured ranks of hedges and topiary were to become a charred and irradiated wasteland, all because of a completely unnecessary and contrived war with Russia…

“Antonov: No one in Washington is thinking about the future of relations between the US and Russia “The American authorities do not think about the future of Russian-American relations and are engaged in destroying them”, said the Russian ambassador to the USA, Anatoly Antonov, commenting on the new American package of military aid to Kiev.“

Saturday quiz

Well, just managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul this week; he has claimed a score of 7 and a half out of 10, but I trumped that with 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 6.

…and only (by my count) 19 Conservative Party MPs. Out of several hundred.

Both main parties of the System are signed up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Jewish woman, one Zoe Grunewald, wants the UK (not herself personally, of course; she probably lives in a leafy suburb or other area far from the terrible society that is already developing by reason of migration-invasion) to take millions of “refugees”.

I also disagree with her view that “we” (British people) feel “proud” that “we” accepted Jewish “refugees” in the 1930s. Many of us actually think that that was a catastrophic error.

In principle, there are maybe 800 million people worldwide who, under the present framework, might have a “legitimate” claim to be granted asylum. Add to that the hundreds of millions who might make claim to asylum illegitimately, and you see the point— the UK cannot, could never take a billion or more persons, a number about 15x the present UK population.

It is often said that that would never happen, that the number who might come here is far lower. Perhaps, but then what is that number? 150 million (which would triple the existing UK population)? Even that would completely collapse our present society. Lower yet, say 75 million? That would still double the existing UK population, and would also shatter our society, irrevocably.

At present, about a million migrant-invaders are coming to the UK each year. Most are not “asylum-seekers”, but that is irrelevant; all that matters is the total number.

Matt Goodwin should have made those points, not his poor point about how a couple of foreign girls in the UK put paraglider motifs on their clothing after the October 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas operatives.

Three-dimensional chess?

“Soldiers are furious with Zelenskiy.

“Since the end of the hostilities is not in sight, the Ukrainian army has difficulties in recruiting personnel, and the fighters are increasingly exhausted and dissatisfied due to the lack of rotation” , writes “The Guardian”.

Many soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been at the front for more than two years without the possibility of demobilization.“

At long last, the truth is coming out about the corrupt, brutal and shambolic dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky and his cabal.

Soon, the Kiev regime’s front lines will crumble, and the Russian forces will be able to roll across the eastern part of Ukraine, i.e. the lands east of the Dnieper. Once Kharkov falls, or is bypassed, there will be nothing to stop Russian forces from occupying those huge areas indefinitely.

Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

One side-effect of the continuing Israeli crimes (whether they be officially labelled “war crimes” or not) is that the —in any case, steadily weakening— effect of the Jewish/Israeli “holocaust” propaganda re. the early 1940s is yet further diluted, if you like.

The peoples of the world are already bored to tears by that mainly post-1950s barrage in films, TV series, books, msm references.

People now say or think, in effect, “whatever happened in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, or the Pribaltika, happened 80+ years ago. Soon, it will be a century ago. We are more interested in what is happening now, not what happened or did not happen, or partly happened, 80 or 100 years ago“…

“Sergei LAVROV: The West has started to promote the blatantly false thesis that Putin will not stop in Ukraine and will go further.

Now the rhetoric is: Putin will defeat Ukraine and then attack us.

The West is using the myth of an imaginary Russian threat to intensify the arms race.

The contours of a new European military alliance with a nuclear component are even being formed Regarding Xi Jinping’s initiative on global security: “There are every reason to promote the idea that global security starts with the creation of the foundations of Eurasian security without Euro-Atlantic admixtures… The relations between Russia and China go beyond the classic alliances.”

That “Putin will invade Western Europe” nonsense was being broadcast or printed in the UK/USA (etc) msm right from the start, in 2022.

Meanwhile, in the background, almost obscured by the daily “war” news from Gaza and Lebanon, the enemies of Israel, and the Iranians in particular, are creating more and more powerful and accurate missiles, some of which will eventually carry nuclear warheads. Israel is living on borrowed time.

[Edward Robert Hughes, Midsummer Eve]

Saturday quiz

This week 7/10, well beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a modest 3/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, and 10.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13383283/migrants-illegal-Channel-small-boats-rwanda.html

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13380415/Zimbabwean-asylum-seeker-jailed-hammer-60-convictions-remain-UK.html

“A Zimbabwean asylum seeker who was jailed for possession of a hammer and racked up more than 60 convictions for drugs, robbery and assault has been granted leave to stay in the UK.

Zimbabwean Ashley Simbarashe Maparura has amassed a ‘dreadful catalogue’ of 68 convictions across several counties, a court heard.

The 34-year-old thug arrived in the UK around 2017 and quickly became involved in serious crimes including drugs, robbery and assault.

But in spite of his appalling criminal record, he was granted leave to remain in the country two months ago.“

[Daily Mail]

The “Readers’ Comments” appended to that Daily Mail report show the level of public anger around such issues: look at this one—

https://www.openweb.com/share/2fywWtFMY0eLsDG0CsvMgTs0Qif

(“Moons12345 Northwest, United Kingdom 4 hours ago. Super , which of the barge protesters the other day will take him home, feed and house him for the next couple of years ? Please step forward you all seem very keen to support this type of person ? Any takers – no didn’t think so !“)

I doubt that such as Zoe Gardner (“@ZoeJardiniere” on Twitter/X) will be volunteering, despite having made a career out of supporting the migration-invasion of the UK. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoe-gardner-8545b479/.

People of that sort sit, usually in leafy affluent areas, promoting the migration-invasion of Europe, including the UK, while “outsourcing” the consequent misery of the collapsing “multicultural” dystopia to others— the poorer people of this country.

At present, somewhere between three-quarters of a million and over a million immigrants are arriving in the UK each year. The vast majority, almost all, remain, though a couple of hundred of thousand people (but mostly real British people) are leaving each year, mostly to go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Spain. The foreign influx in terms of population change is about 1M-1.5M. Every single year.

Few of those (maybe 5%, if that) are arriving in “small boats” (actually, ferried from just off the coast of France by the RNLI, Coastguard, Border Force, and Royal Navy, all of which organizational names are now a self-parody).

The flood of “dependent relatives”, “spouses”, “fiances/fiancees”, “students”, “asylum-seekers” and “highly skilled workers” (Indians who can work a computer) continues apace. About 3,000, every single day.

One of the worst aspects of both central and local government in the UK is the apparent inability of both politicians and officials to think things through. If we do this, what happens to that and that and that down the line?

Forget the Rwanda Plan, which is an object lesson in present-day UK governmental futility. Only applies to a few percent of immigrants anyway, and will only ever be able to deport a few hundred a week at best (and at huge cost per deportee and in toto), while thousands each week are arriving on the cross-Channel route alone.

Incidentally, about 80% of “asylum-seekers” are allowed to remain anyway, once “processed”.

The pathetic Rwanda “plan” is in any case going to be scrapped by the expected Labour Party “elected” dictatorship, which will be the Government of the UK by early next year at latest.

So we are living in a country where the population is changing fast, and not for the better.

By 2034, another 10M or more, maybe another 15M+ will have arrived. Most will be effectively unskilled, most will be more or less parasitic, quite a substantial minority will be hostile or criminal, many will not even speak, read, or write basic English, and the UK has nowhere even to warehouse these masses of unwanted invaders.

Meanwhile, the British people are becoming poorer, suffering ever-lower living standards, are unable, most of them, to buy or even rent suitable accommodation, and are sharing their ever-poorer, ever-less pleasant cities and towns with a multiracial, multicultural, polyglot mixture of peoples, mostly from the most backward countries of the world.

Political change, anyone?

“World thinktank Globsec reckons a “sudden drop” in aid packages to Ukraine from the West could be the trigger for a Russian victory. The organisation says it would leave an “actual nuclear threat” in Russia’s hands after its withdrawal from nuclear deterrence treaties. Those nuclear threats may continue to grow as the aftershock of Ukraine’s war loss spreads rapidly through Europe.“

[Daily Mirror]

The propaganda against Russia continues, with the now-usual claims that Russia wants to invade Western Europe etc. Oh, and the also-now-usual fake “parallels” with the 1930s and Germany’s expansionist policy then.

I wonder what cabals are behind this incessant push for war?

NWO. ZOG.

That Mirror report, though, does admit that we are on the brink of Russian victory in Ukraine. As this blog has said for over 2 years now, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

One of a very large number of “Conservative” MPs realizing now, as “groundrush” suddenly comes upon them, that their days of freeloading uselessness are about to come to an end, and that their Commons seats are not “a grift for life”.

Can it be possible that Sadiq Khan will not be re-elected, after the sainted opinion polls had him, only last week, on twice the expected vote of Susan Hall? Interesting. The result is expected some time today.

I have not taken much interest in the contest. Susan Hall did not seem a very impressive candidate to me, but then look at Shaun Bailey, the West Indian Con Party “activist” and fake charity “grifter”, who was almost a joke candidate last time, yet very nearly won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_London_mayoral_election.

Indeed, look at Sadiq Khan himself. Plainly not up to the job.

I certainly do not endorse all of the political positions of Laurence Fox, but how can the accuracy of his view above be denied?

We often see such slogans or expostulations as “England has fallen!” or “London has fallen!“, and may sometimes think that to say so is going “too far” but, really, now, I see it as being pretty close to the truth.

“You read it here first” (quite possibly). I was saying all that years ago.

It was not wholly negligent, though, more —at some level— a deliberate try-out of techniques designed to make the population more compliant, less questioning, less free…

Not a very good week: I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— only 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 7, and 9 (the same three that Rentoul answered correctly).

LBC is owned by a Jew who inherited (or was given) huge wealth; see previous blog posts. It is not just a question of ownership. For some years until fairly recently, the political editor of LBC was a Jew who always parrotted “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] rubbish on Twitter, including a few mentions of me.

Even other Jews seem to despise Gideon Falter.

The only reason I did not take up UCL’s offer to join their 1984-1987 law degree course as a belated student was because I noticed on a visit that the existing course was packed with Jewish students. Not my kind of milieu…

It is not (yet) mandatory in the UK to profess —or pretend, as many do— to like “them” as a group.

When I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, one of the 5 tweets that sank me was that describing Gove (accurately) as an expenses cheat and puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. I was unaware, in and prior to 2016, that Gove was —and is— a cocaine abuser, a user of other drugs and, not infrequently, a shambling drunk. Even his Jewish (I believe) wife dumped him not so long ago, for reasons not yet made public.

The state of diplomatic relations China-USA, made obvious by that cold shouldering, is in the deep freeze. Strategically, the USA is now being outplayed by the China-Russia axis.

Several interesting things there. Firstly, it seems that the UK authorities are at long last waking up to the fact that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “British” Jews every year go to Israel for what amounts to a form of paramilitary training— training in the use of pistols, submachineguns and long weapons (rifles etc) and even, perhaps, in some cases, explosives. They then return to the UK. How many are sleeper agents run by MOSSAD, Aman (Israeli military intelligence) or other Jewish/Israeli secret and conspiratorial structures?

What genuine “Israeli student” flies into East Midlands Airport anyway? Was it a dual passport holder?

Second, note how tweeter “Brian of London”, whose name suggests, superficially, that he identifies as “British”, in fact quite openly identifies with Israel and not the UK, referring to this country as the “UK regime“. A termite who was burrowing away from within, but now seems to be in Tel Aviv.

Third, tweeter Jake Wallis Simons was a scribbler at the Daily Mail for some years and was “Associate Global Editor” there some years ago. Indeed, he wrote a Daily Mail piece about me, after I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in late 2016: see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3881726/Barrister-thrown-profession-anti-Semitic-tweets.html.

Now, he is editor of the Jewish Chronicle.

There is more. Despite only being a half-Jew (his father apparently not having been a Jew), he was himself at one time booked on an Israeli programme which takes young Jews (and part-Jews, it seems) to Israel, and trains them in military skills:

“Unlike almost all of his classmates, Jake opted to do A-levels, which he undertook at the less religious Hasmonean High School. But he decided that his future lay in Israel on the Hesder programme, which combines yeshivah with IDF service. When his mother suggested that he toughen up before joining the army, he began training at a local martial arts gym.“

[Jewish Chronicle] https://www.thejc.com/life-and-culture/the-editors-story-jake-wallis-simons-on-what-israelophobia-means-to-him-emb99oxt.

Suddenly, his plans changed, he says:

“He cancelled his plans to go to Israel and went travelling for two years in south-east Asia instead, studying Chinese in Taiwan and abandoning any sense of his Jewish heritage, let alone observance.”

[Jewish Chronicle]

Are we missing something in that story?

Britain is right to defend itself against hostile Islamism, but that is only half, if even that, of the story. There are, also, other enemies of the British people.

Incidentally, the “Brian of London” Twitter/X account often retweets “Tommy Robinson” stuff, as here below:

“Brian of London” also retweeted this:

In fact, leaving the obvious anti-Islamist Jewish/Israeli propaganda aside, there is more than a kernel of truth in that clip.

Taking just the UK, over a million unwanted immigrants and/or “invaders” every year and, at the same time, about 200,000 mostly real British people leaving for Australia, New Zealand etc (the younger emigrants) or France, Spain etc (the older people, including retirees).

The whole nature of the UK population is changing, and very definitely not for the better.

Soon the voters will be dumping the Conservative Friends of Israel misgovernment for a Labour Friends of Israel “elected” dictatorship— Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall etc.

The civil service, police etc are still, as one mandarin put it in the 1960s, engaged in “the management of decline“, but the slow decline and mixed picture of the 1960s has now moved on to a steeper slope of gradual but much faster collapse of society.

Even now, the public is not being told the truth, in case they turn to some form of social nationalism.

One sees, not least on Twitter/X, the “useful idiots”, the “refugees welcome” dimwits, those who think that you can import a million immigrants a year (mostly unskilled, many parasitic, quite a number criminal or actually terroristic) without any negative effects on society.

Those “useful idiots” think that the only reason that housing is unavailable or unaffordable, that trains are crowded, that the very roads are literally falling to pieces, that the courts and prisons are swamped, and that pay and working-age State benefits are worth less almost daily, is “government policy”, and that ditching the “Tories” —and I have no quarrel with that, as such— will usher in a kind of pseudo-Labour paradise, or at least something better. Think again.

Look ahead a little. Where will the UK be in, say, 2034, when the population has increased by another ~15 million via immigration and births to recent immigrants?

There are other problems, other factors, but mass immigration (not only the 10% or 5% arriving via the cross-Channel migration-invasion) is key.

There is only one hope— that the real people of Britain turn to intelligent real social nationalism. I do not mean turn to the “beer bottle throwers” of the controlled opposition. I mean real social nationalism. It happened before; it can happen again.

Dan Poulter MP

Certainly I had never heard of Dan Poulter, as far as I recall.

Unlike the above tweeter, though, I am willing to take this resignation as a matter of principle or protest, rather than one of self-interest.

Poulter’s constituency, Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, is a very safe Conservative seat. It has been held by Con Party MPs since its first election in 1997, and even in that so-called “Labour landslide” year was won comfortably enough by Poulter’s predecessor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Suffolk_and_North_Ipswich_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Poulter himself was first elected in 2010, and has never received less than 50% of the vote; his vote-share in 2019 was no less than 62.7%. He has obviously resigned as a protest designed to damage the Sunak misgovernment as much as possible, with the local elections coming up, followed by a general election sometime this year.

Late tweets

Despite the huge number of Americans who love animals, there is a certain stratum composed of others who are absolutely horrible. For example, the “declawing” of cats, which is against the law in decent countries, is not unusual in the USA (because some cat “owners” value their vulgar furniture more than the welfare of their companion animals).

So, after having killed her puppy, she somehow “got the bit between her teeth” and decided that she wanted to kill her goat as well. She sounds dangerous.

That woman sounds dangerous, as already said. One can only hope that something unpleasant happens to her. She certainly sounds like a thoroughly bad woman overall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristi_Noem; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristi_Noem#Dog_shooting_controversy; https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/27/kristi-noem-trump-vp-book-killing-dog.

and that includes the half of the American population that is non-white and tends to breed more.

I agree with his view on that issue. of course…

Freedom of expression, free speech, are both dead; those connected (former) rights have been all but killed off in the UK. What I fail to see is how Fox cannot see which element has (((mainly))) killed them off…

I tend to agree with Fox on this (speaking as a defendant in a recent free speech trial: see https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J).

I may as well say a few words about Fox and his recent civil trial in libel.

For Fox as politician of sorts, or his tiny Reclaim Party, I have little time. A political bad joke, and pro-Israel to boot. Not a serious party, despite Reclaim apparently having 100,000 registered supporters.

As to the recent libel case, I have read a few tweets, and also, as a consequence, the published judgment on damages: https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/blake-and-seymour-v-fox-2/, and the main judgment (liability judgment): https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Blake-and-Seymour-v-Fox-Judgment.pdf.

The liability judgment goes into some detail in respect of the facts and the relevant and applicable law, and is worth reading (though not everyone will want to read all 41 pages).

What strike me are the similarities between the Fox case and that of Katie Hopkins in 2016-2017 [as to which, see the basic Wikipedia summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Hopkins#Jack_Monroe].

In the Katie Hopkins case, Ms. Hopkins had expressed a purported (but inaccurate) fact about “Jack Monroe” (the online “grifter” known as the “Bootstrap Cook”) having vandalized a war memorial (which she had not done). Plainly libellous, and also untrue. A war memorial had been vandalized, but not by “Jack Monroe”, who was not even present. Ms. Hopkins should have backed down, settled at an early stage, and thus not had to take to trial a hopeless case; the failure of the defence eventually resulted in Ms. Hopkins having to sell her house, mainly to cover the legal costs of the Claimant, “Jack Monroe”.

Ms. Hopkins had been too proud and, frankly, too foolish to settle early on.

In the Fox case, Laurence Fox had impetuously (at first) called the Claimants “paedophiles“, which as the judge points out in the judgment, is plainly defamatory in most situations. It turns out that the Claimants were, on the evidence, not “paedophiles”. Again, Fox should have settled early. However, as with the Hopkins case, pride seems to have got in the way. The result is that Fox not only has to pay his own legal team (I presume) but that of the Claimants.

The judge (para. 166 of the liability judgment) put the primary key matter clearly:

“Mr Fox’s labelling of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour as paedophiles was, on the evidence, probabilities and facts of this case, seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless. The law affords few defences to defamation of this sort. Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defence recognised in law.”

There is another link between the Hopkins and Fox cases— the involvement of the egregious Jewish-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, a Patron of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Years ago, Lewis used to attack me frequently on Twitter (and was involved in other activities offline), prior to his being censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for similar vitriolic attacks on others; after that, Lewis decamped to Israel, but retained a foothold in London, sub nom Patron Law, the solicitors for the Claimants in the Fox case.

In both the Hopkins and Fox cases, neither of the defendants had any realistic defence, though I can see, having now read the judgment(s) in the Fox case, that his Counsel put up a good fight in a near-hopeless situation.

I have no idea as to the means available to Laurence Fox, or the likelihood of his being able to satisfy both the damages and the costs (presumably to be assessed if not agreed), but it may be that he will appeal; I cannot say. He may be wondering whether he has anything to lose, but of course I cannot express a view, knowing nothing of his financial situation.

I am not “against” Fox. I agree with many, not all, of his views (not of course as to Israel and the Jewish lobby), and I do not think that (as far as I can see or have read) he is a “bad person”. I do think that he is to some extent a “silly boy”, so to speak.

One final thing. I recently blogged about the result of the recent civil trial, also in libel, Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor. In that case, some Jew-Zionists defamed a college lecturer, tried to ruin his life, produced other notorious Jews as false witnesses, and (or so a witness alleged in court) even tried to give a substantial bribe to a witness. Result? The lecturer won his case, but was awarded only £30,000 plus (modest, it seems) costs (the Fox case resulted in two awards of £90,000, plus —no doubt inflated— costs).

In fact, the egregious Lewis was also involved in the Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon et al case in some capacity (though not as solicitor of record, according to the published judgment), this time on the losing side (in a sense, in that the defence witnesses were all known to him; some if not all were members of the “CAA” and/or “UK Lawyers for Israel”, as is Lewis), and (from what has emerged on Twitter/X) may have also mis-advised at least one of the losing defendants, who may thereby now have to sell his house, possibly making that defendant and his family homeless; another defendant killed himself.
