I once sat there, outside, about 35 years ago, with my first wife. Perhaps 1991. It was around 1700 hrs. Two besuited French office workers (I presume) strolled past, glanced at us and one remarked to the other something about “les deux magots” (with hard “g“, too..). Neither of us having more than basic French, we wondered whether they were referring to us, and as “the two maggots”, but the name of the place refers to two Oriental figurines (something akin to “Magi”).

Someone once told me that she had known a former doorman at a block of expensive flats where many politicians lived (I think probably in the 1950s, but possibly in the 1930s). According to that report, the good tippers were mainly Conservative MPs, the poor ones mainly Labour Party ones (and Oswald Mosley).

The relative generosity was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the view that Conservative MPs regarded relative poverty as inherent in society, so to be ameliorated by personal charity now and then, whereas socialists and other radicals regarded what was important as the changing of society so that poverty no longer existed, ergo tipping the relatively poor, or giving to them, was only a distraction from the real task.

I mention it out of interest, though I concede that it cannot be given much weight, in view of the fact that I cannot identify the original reporter, or at all verify the report content. Interesting, though.

Well, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” lost at trial (yet again), so hopefully was paid nothing.

Lewis himself admitted, years ago, about 8 years ago, that at times he has no idea what he is saying or doing, by reason of prescription drugs.

Oh, dear…someone’s (still) in trouble. Starmer-stein.

Scribblers and talking heads such as Dan Hodges always think such figures are terribly important. They are not, because any “growth” benefit, unless explosive, benefit goes, almost entirely, to about 1%, and certainly not more than 5%, of the population; any fall, unless catastrophic, scarcely affects the 95% of the population.

Starmer-stein is desperate not to appoint a man because of any further hidden sex scandals, so has appointed, or is about to appoint a woman, one who apparently has no sex scandals but is a money-obsessed careerist office bully (incidentally, she married one of her former bosses in the private sector…).

I have blogged once or twice about the by-election. I see that Betfair now has the Greens odds-on, Reform about 5/2, and Labour well back on nearly 9/1.

I have found bookmakers’ odds a poor indication of the result of by-elections, but Labour already look like the big losers in this one. If I have to eat my words on the 27th (by-election is on 26th), so be it. I just cannot see either the Muslims (about 30% or so of the electorate of Gorton and Denton) or most English/British people (about 68% of the voters there) voting Labour now, despite Labour’s 50.8% at GE 2024. A lot has happened in the past 18 months.

I still think that Reform can do this, but we shall have to see. Exactly 2 weeks to go.

Jim Ratcliffe is right – it has been colonised by immigrants. That’s just a fact. No point pussyfooting around it. Streets and streets of entire families unable to speak in English, not working, not contributing – living under parallel legal systems.

It’s not even multiculturalism in some of these areas. There is one culture – Islam.

They do not want to live by the same rules as the rest of us. They choose not to be policed as the rest of us. So they’re not. What has that led to? We all know.

Britain increasingly resembles the third world. And with demographic changes, birthrates and immigration transforming our country as they are? That is a process which will only accelerate unless drastic action is taken.

I speak to MPs, plenty agree with me in private. They are, however, unwilling to say so publicly.

That needs to change, urgently.

The backlash for stating these obvious facts is aggressive, so MPs don’t do it. The intimidation works, it’s effective. But I don’t need the job, I don’t need the money. I’m just going to carry on telling the truth.

Bravo!

Islam/Muslims/Islamists in the UK are not, combined, the only demographic problem in the UK, just one of several major ones.

Apart from that, I agree with Lowe, who is, overall, arguably, the best of the few MPs who are not utter trash.

Bracknell? Berkshire? Good grief. Britain really is royally screwed…

Would translate to a Commons with about 378 Reform UK MPs (very solid majority), 60 Greens (official Opposition!), 54 LibDems, 45 SNP, 39 Cons, 36 Labour.

Near-terminal for both Cons and Labour.

On those figures, Starmer would lose his “ultra-safe” seat.

The drug trade, like all trades, is driven by its consumer base. Therefore, to eliminate the trade, you have to eliminate the consumers. Don’t think, or pretend to think, that you can stop mass drug abuse by arresting local drug dealers, or large dealers, or importers (smugglers), or even by executing them, let alone by bombing poppy fields in Asia or cocaine producing areas in South America. The only way, harsh though it would be, is to eliminate the end-users en masse.

I do not agree with Goodwin on everything, far from it, but he is the standout candidate at the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Ha ha…

Starmer-stein is moving from being a mere clown to becoming a total joke.

Forget the non-existent “Russian connection”, and concentrate on the real one, the Israeli connection.

Davis also should know that the FSB is a security organization, not primarily a foreign intelligence agency (the main Russian one being the SVR).

I explored the Israel connection to Epstein (Jew) and Ghislaine Maxwell (half-Jew) years ago, and have continued to update: see

They need street-cleaners in Vienna…(Mandelson has toothbrush, and will travel…).

I still think that Starmer-stein will cling on until people start to stamp on his fingers; he will not let go of his own volition.

The ships referred to are naval minesweepers.

I do not doubt that they confessed (whether guilty or not).

Triggers a few memories.

When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I lived on Prospekt Lenina, one of the main boulevards. One day, I heard that an American who apparently lived across the (very wide) boulevard from me had been found tortured to death in an armchair in his own apartment.

At the time, I was sole expat lawyer for a British firm in Kazakhstan. The other office staff, however, about 5 people, were under a Kazakh ex-policeman turned fake lawyer (I am sure that he had either bought or forged his qualifications).

This individual in my office had links to the KNB, the renamed Kazakhstan KGB, and told me that the murdered American had been a gay who had picked up two men at a casino. They had murdered him, thinking that he had cash. They had also stolen items from the apartment.

What interested me most about the story, however, was the assertion that, because the KNB had apparently suspected the American (a supposed journalist, working for an obscure Texas-based journal, of which no-one had ever heard) of being a CIA operative, and so had bugged that man’s apartment (both audio and video). There was therefore both audio and video evidence of the torture and murder, though (sadly for the victim) not seen until the next day. Had the KNB been watching in real time, they would have been able to save the victim.

The murderers were, it seems, arrested the next day, and (of course) confessed. I imagine that they were shown the evidence, but would very likely have confessed even had there been no evidence at all. The Kazakh police are rather rough.

There were few foreigners resident in Almaty at that time. I was told that there were about 50 Brits, and quite a few more Americans (in a city of, even then, nearly 2M inhabitants). I doubt, though, whether I myself was suspected of being more than a boring/innocent expat lawyer, but who knows?

Incidentally, I went for a talk at the British Embassy there, not long afterwards, about “personal security”, given by a visiting expert from London. I was often at the Embassy anyway, had met the Ambassador and others several times (and it was walking distance from my home).

There were about 30 British people, businessmen mostly, assembled to hear the words of wisdom.

The “visiting expert” was a bit of an odd bod, a former member of British Army intelligence, and who wore a brown leather coat with a matching leather hat. He reminded me slightly of von Smallhausen in Allo Allo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%27Allo_%27Allo!_characters#Herr_Engelbert_von_Smallhausen.

“Von Smallhausen” mentioned the murder of the American, cast doubt on the idea that he had been a journalist, and also mentioned the not dissimilar case of a Swiss banker, also murdered in the city not long before.

The “visiting expert” also said that most expats he had met on his brief visit had assured him that Almaty was safe for foreigners, yet he himself had visited a nightclub in the centre of the city a day or two previously and, on exiting the club, had tripped over a dead body.

I have to say that I never had serious trouble while I lived in Kazakhstan (1 year), and what minor trouble I did have was handled one way or another. There again, I usually avoid nightclubs, bars, and casinos in most parts of the world. In fact, unlike most foreigners in Almaty at that time, I not only travelled by car but also on foot and even by local bus, trolleybus, and tram (there was no Metro at the time). My then girlfriend remarked that I had to be the only foreigner in the city with a monthly public transport pass, though I had my own driver to take me to the office and back. I like to wander and explore alone sometimes.

[view of Almaty, Kazakhstan. The boulevard shown is former Prospekt Lenina, now called Dostyk (Kazakh for “Friendship”). I lived on the right-hand side of the avenue, in a kind of Soviet penthouse at the top of the first of the two similar apartment buildings, about halfway up the photo]

Hard-to-believe news

Apparently, Tony Blair has been talking up the possibility of —of all people— Shabana Mahmood taking over from Keir Starmer, and so becoming, by default, Prime Minister! Jesus H. Christ! Has the woman not been over-promoted enough? She has already been appointed as Justice Secretary/Lord Chancellor and, since then, Home Secretary, despite having not practised at the Bar (beyond her one-year pupillage); she was a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors for about 2 years after that.

Actually, I hope she does take over. That would sink the Labour Party completely.

Incidentally, I was just looking at Betfair Politics. I have found that the betting odds are poor predictors of by-election results, but for what it might be worth, the Greens are now favourite, and are marginally odds-on, Reform is now around 7/4, but Labour has now gone way out, and stands at around 17/2 (Advance UK 150/1, LibDems 500/1, Conservatives 1,000/1).

[“I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year. Amid the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War, soaring and uncontrolled immigration, deteriorating public services, a glaring lack of social integration, and a succession of scandals that have rocked the Labour government, from the rape gangs to Freebiegate, voters are now on the move. Compared to the 2024 general election, Keir Starmer and Labour are down more than 10-points on just 24%. Kemi Badenoch and the Tories are down 2-points on just 22%, showing no sign of recovery. And the Liberal Democrats are up 1-point, averaging just 13.6%. But now look at Reform. As we’ve been predicting and analysing in our newsletter for two years (showing why people are voting Reform and the areas where it is building strength), Reform is now up 11-points to 25%. And that’s not all. As I explain below, Reform is now hitting both the Tories but especially Labour in unique and powerful ways, looking set for a major breakthrough as it inherits the post-Brexit realignment.”]

Yes, but Reform can only be a transitional party, existing in the space between the existing System parties and a social nationalist movement which, as yet, does not exist.

The next big test will be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. 9 days from today. Those voters could make history. Will they?

We” are not imposing anything. It has been imposed on us by the System parties, and mainly at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby…but don’t expect Goodwin to say anything about that

Does “their” thirst for vengeance and retribution never stop?

And Western weapons supplied to Ukraine constantly end up on the black market.“]

That could have been predicted.

I disagree with the lady tweeter. The “4 MPs” of Reform UK are 4 and not 93 (650 x 14.29%) only by reason of a stupid, illogical, and totally unfair electoral system. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

In rough terms, at the 2024 General Election, Reform scored about 2 votes out of every 12 cast. Labour got 4 out of every 12, the Con Party 3 out of every 12. In fact, 8 out of every 20 eligible did not even vote, so Labour was endorsed by only 4 out of 20.

About half of those Labour votes were cast by people who now realize that Starmer-stein lied to them about almost everything. That is why Labour (supported mainly by non-white voters) is now around the same level as Reform UK.

The unfair FPTP electoral system gives the false impression that only a tiny fringe supported Reform at GE 2024; in fact it was over 14%, and the Conservative Party, with all its money and history (and in government until the General Election) only scored 23%.

Widespread and angry political dissent is not going to go away even if Reform does. Popular discontent will simply find another channel to flow down. Another party, or a new movement of some kind, perhaps a social-national movement which goes beyond being simply a political party.

James O’Brien, a radio would-be know-all who is often pretty ignorant.

What’s wrong with the other 53%? Actually, the “53%” is nearer to 33% or even lower, because at least 20% of the whole population is now non-European and their votes should not be taken into account in such a poll.

A good majority of white (i.e. British) people are now firmly hostile to immigration.

At last.

Diary Blog, 14 March 2025, with latest opinion polling and comment on the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

Morning music

Starmer-stein is out of his depth. Useless in every way. Personally, I do not care whether Trump comes to the UK or not, but (as with Tony Blair and others) it is just pathetic to see what poodles British prime ministers are when it comes to the USA (and Israel).

[“No, wait! I voted Labour in 2024!” cried the poor mug as Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, and Keir Starmer-stein ordered the execution by stealth of the old, sick, and disabled]

Not sure I agree with all of that, but certainly agree about the net zero and mass immigration aspects. I wonder whether Matt Goodwin is positioning himself to become leader of Reform UK and, therefore, potentially, Prime Minister by 2028 or 2029?

As to the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, it is now surely Reform UK’s to lose, looking at the utterly disastrous Starmer-stein Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment. I have already covered the by-election on the blog:

Incidentally, Lord Ashcroft or his employees should learn to spell: “likelihood” is not spelled “likelyhood“.

That opinion poll is interesting, though. Labour support in the constituency seems to have almost halved since the 2024 General Election. In a way, however, the fact that a third of Runcorn and Helsby voters are still inclined to stick with fake “Labour” despite both the thuggishness of the former MP and the actions of Starmer-stein’s useless and unpleasant government says something, arguende, about the intelligence or nous of the average voter!

The fact is that the Conservative Party has no chance in that constituency anyway, so the way for Con or former Con supporters to stick it to Labour and/or Starmer-stein is to vote Reform.

As for disenchanted Labour or former Labour voters, they can protest against Starmer-stein’s and Rachel Reeves’ (and Liz Kendall’s) utter betrayal of everything for which “Labour” used to stand by voting Reform or, failing that, or if they cannot countenance that, by just staying home, abstaining from voting.

Incidentally, I just saw a Daily Mirror report about Kiev-regime drone strikes on Moscow yesterday or overnight. It included the classic error that one Ukrainian drone had hit an oil refinery near Moscow, “only 55 miles” from Putin’s palace on the Black Sea. Well, the nearest place —let alone palace— on the Black Sea from Moscow is about 865 miles away. The “British” msm is just full of absolute bs.

I agree with that tweet, but I also agree with this:

At present, the UK is importing about a million so-called “legal” immigrants every year, as well as 50,000-100,000 illegal ones. There is no indication that Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, or Liz Kendall see any of that as the existential peril for our society that it is.

As for Rachel Reeves’ idea of building millions of hutches for people (many of them migrant-invaders): first of all, who will build those “houses”, in a situation where even poorly-trained artisans are in short supply? Secondly, few will be able to afford to buy or even rent the dwellings. Most will be subsidized. How will that save government money, or much stimulate the general economy?

More pathetic System-drone bs, in other words.

The above half-dozen tweets all relate to the libel action won by the tweeter, James Wilson, an academic from the North East of England, who won against a swamp of dishonest Jew-Zionist lawyers and perjuring or “unreliable” witnesses (every last one a Jew-Zionist).

Simon Myerson was a witness for the defence in that case. Myerson, a barrister based in Leeds, was later sacked as a part-time judge for other reasons, at least officially (his malicious and vituperative tweets and other social media comments). In the case in question here, Myerson’s testimony was given very little, if any, weight by the trial judge.

As for the defendants, one, a vicious pro-Israel social media troll called Pete Newbon, committed suicide before the trial had ended, he having failed to inform his wife that the libel case was happening, and that their family home might be on the line.

Another defendant, one Cantor, was (as it appears) either negligently or, quite likely, deliberately misled by the Jew-Zionist solicitor and Israel-lobby political fanatic Mark Lewis. It seems that Cantor will now lose his family home by reason of Lewis’s default(s), in order to satisfy the court-ordered legal costs of the successful claimant, Wilson. Not that I personally have the slightest sympathy for Cantor or any similar individual.

I do not know, but it seems not unlikely that, the defendants or surviving defendants having now a legal obligation to pay Wilson’s costs (though they are but a fraction of those that would have been claimed by the lawyers of the defendants, had they succeeded at trial), those surviving defendants will almost certainly end up suing Lewis and probably also Patron Law, the mainly Jewish law firm (based in a mews side-street in Notting Hill, West London), which is Lewis’s legal foothold in England (he is now, and has been since 2018, an Israeli citizen supposedly living in Eilat, Israel).

Alert regular readers of the blog may have noted that it is exactly a year (14 March 2024) since I was sentenced as a result of my free speech trial in November 2023.

Amazing. A whole year has elapsed since the sentence, and about 16 months since the trial itself. I repost my accounts of the trial, sentence, and aftermath here below:

I was able to continue blogging right through the process, and am still blogging almost every day, about 25-30 times per month.

As previously explained, I am under no greater legal constraint now than I was in 2024, 2023, 2022 (etc).

I have no doubt that the malicious Jew-Zionist element will continue to try to destroy the freedom of speech and expression not only of me but also of all British and other people. However, one must stand up for free speech and expression.

David Lammy

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14006471/David-Lammys-aide-accused-anti-British-death-Prince-William.html

A senior adviser to Foreign Secretary David Lammy has questioned how much people will mourn the death of Prince William, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The comment by Ben Judah, the Labour adviser who has been described as ‘Lammy’s brain’, is one of a string of astonishing remarks he has made that the Conservatives have branded republican and ‘anti-British’.

Mr Lammy is facing a mounting whispering campaign within Sir Keir Starmer’s Government over his future as Foreign Secretary.

He has also caused a headache for Sir Keir with past tweets about Donald Trump – who could be just ten days away from returning to the White House – that included describing him as a ‘woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath’ and ‘no friend of Britain’.

One well-placed source said: ‘Lammy will be allowed a bit longer in the job, then someone more savvy such as [Northern Ireland Secretary] Hilary Benn will get the gig.’

So “Lammy’s brain” is one Ben Judah, a Jew, whose ancestors came from Baghdad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Judah.

Of course, thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy does need intellectual support: see

A typical scenario, of course.

I have to concede that I agree with the said Judah’s view of the Commonwealth:

In an article for the Unherd website in 2022, Mr Judah was also dismissive about the Commonwealth – to which Sir Keir has this weekend been paying homage at the summit in Samoa.

Mr Judah wrote about the Queen: ‘We pretended with her and for her that the Commonwealth was real, that there was love and affection for her, or for us, in countries we’d conquered and lost, that we were still a great power.

And if not an empire, then she ruled its heir. As she aged, shrinking into her clothes, it became clear there wasn’t enough there, behind the insignia of government, to hold us up in the world.’

[Daily Mail]

There was, in decades past, a discussion to be had about whether Britain could “punch above its weight”, partly via the Commonwealth. Soft power etc.

One is reminded of how the late great Maurice Oldfield, one-time Chief of SIS/MI6, cultivated foreign students at Oxford or Cambridge likely to become leaders of Commonwealth states. Sometimes, after they had already started on a political-career path. Notably, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.

However, such activity is largely the filling in of gaps; a substitute for the real geopolitical power exercised by the British Empire.

As things now are, the Commonwealth seems to be largely a way whereby Britain gives money to those who, increasingly, are rather hostile to the British people whose money they take. Some, such as Mozambique, which never were colonies in the first place, have latched onto British aid by joining the Commonwealth.

Better to cut them all loose now. Take away the ricebowls of the former colonies. Stop playing the convoluted chess defence which Commonwealth diplomacy has become.

Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Judah; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Judah; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Whitehouse; https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/nov/11/spymaster-martin-pearce-mi6-maurice-oldfield

Final thought: a picture of Britain in its final (?) decline— a thick-as-two-short-planks and massive-chip-on-shoulder black “diversity hire” Foreign Secretary, “advised” by a Jew far more intelligent than his boss. Which is more inimical to the real interests of the British people?

Note the “rainbow” pin on his tie, presumably displaying allegiance to, or acquiescence in, the socio-political “woke” agenda.

The police have gradually become overtly politicized, not in party-political terms but in socio-political terms.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport (opened 2005, closed 2022)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doncaster_Sheffield_Airport#Airport_hotel_and_car_parks

Ramada Encore chain hotel opened on 10 November 2008, with a 102-bed capacity.[57] It is situated less than ten minutes walk from the Terminal building. However since the closure of the airport it is now used to hold immigrants awaiting decisions on their asylum cases so is no longer open to the public.

102 beds. A whole, quite large, hotel.

102— not even a third (sometimes, not even a tenth) of the numbers of migrant-invaders arriving on the “small boats” (or ferried in by Border Farce or RNLI boats) every day. That’s not even counting the “legal” immigrants arriving every day (literally thousands every single day).

The political liars, and msm liars, do not even want to seriously confront the issue of the migration invasion (all of it, not just the “small boats” part). Eventually, it will collapse this society, not decades in the future but in a relatively few years. You can already see it happening, gradually but visibly.

Look at that airport hotel. Destined, as it once seemed, to service British people travelling on business or on holiday, but now merely yet another dustbin for rubbish from all over the world.

Britain itself— a dustbin for untermenschen. It makes me both sad and angry.

As for that airport, I have never been there. I was due to fly from Exeter to Doncaster in 2007, and had a ticket, but an unexpected event meant that I had to be a no-show. I believe that the flight-time would have been only about half an hour.

I do not usually repost tweets from notorious Jew-Zionist Twitter/X accounts, but the individual in question has a good point here.

I might add that I have noticed that South Wales seems to have a very serious problem with crimes of violence, most of which (in contradistinction to the situation in London and much of England) cannot be lain at the door of the non-European population.

I suppose that the sentence was so lenient (the defendant will be released within 12 months, i.e. 40% of 30 months) because he has lost his job in the police, has been banned from being a policeman in any Welsh or English force for life, and may well be “on the dole” for years after his release.

For the sake of clarity, I do not agree that the wife and mother who got 31 months for a few tweets that few saw and none acted upon should have been imprisoned (or prosecuted at all).

Looking at his Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Amesbury], he seems a typically-dim Labour MP, even leaving aside his evident thuggery.

Incidentally, the police state that “no arrests have been made“, which makes me ask, “why not?“… I bet that if I behaved as he has done, the police would arrest me.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/15/landlords-selling-up-england-homelessness-renting

More than 2,000 households a month are facing homelessness in England because private landlords say they are selling up, with some blaming uncertainty caused by government delays to renting reforms.

Official figures show that more than four in 10 families who have asked councils for temporary housing after a private landlord ended their tenancy are in the predicament because the owner told them they were putting the property on the market.

Despite increasing demand, the supply of private housing available to rent is still 50,000 homes below pre-pandemic levels, figures from Rightmove show. The total number of privately renting households, including those in stable accommodation, has hovered around the 4.5m mark for the last decade, according to the English Housing Survey. In that time, England’s population grew by 3.2 million, equivalent to 1.4m households.

[The Guardian]

Look at the effect of mass migration aka migration invasion: In the last decade alone, the UK population grew by 3.2 MILLION…

Islington North

The Labour Party is to select its candidate to fight Islington North in the expected 2024 General Election. Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, sacked from Labour by Israel and Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, has not been invited to apply.

Corbyn presently sits as Independent, but was elected at Islington North for Labour in every general election since 1983. At that first election, Corbyn and Labour scored a vote-share of 40.4% (Con 25.3%, SDP 22.4%), but since then Corbyn has never received less than 50% of the total vote, and usually above 60%, peaking in 2017 (when he was Labour leader) at 73% (Con 12.5%, LibDems 9%). At the most recent general election, in 2019, Corbyn scored 64.3% (LibDems 15.6%, Con 10.2%).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

The huge unknown is what percentage of the voters voted for Corbyn, and what percentage voted for the Labour label.

Usually, voters vote by label. Few indeed are the instances where a candidate who has been cast out by his or her party, and who has then stood as Independent (or for a small party) then been re-elected. Most face ignominious defeat. However, Islington North may be different.

There has never been a case where a party leader has been expelled, in effect, from his own party, and has then stood as Independent in the constituency that he has represented for 41 years and is still, at time of writing, representing.

Corbyn is very high profile, and of course has been the MP since 1983, over 40 years.

It seems that local Labour has been frozen out of the selection process, and that Starmer or his minions on the Labour NEC will select the candidate. Apparently, there are several not-unlikely possibilities, and a few political chancers, such as faux-revolutionary (and System msm drone) Paul Mason, will probably also apply.

Assuming that Corbyn does stand (as Independent), I think that he might be able to win the election, and I should put his likely vote-share at somewhere around 30%-40%. The official Labour candidate will probably also get about 30%-40%.

There is likely to be a Reform UK candidate, who will probably get below 5%, and possibly (as with UKIP and Brexit Party in previous elections) only around 1% or 2%. The Conservative candidate will almost certainly struggle to get over 10% and, in the present circumstances, may be in lost-deposit territory, below 5%.

It is possible that the LibDem candidate will score over 10%; hard to say.

My view is that, if Corbyn does stand, it will be a straight fight between him and whosoever is selected as the official Labour candidate. Corbyn surely has every chance, if he stands (I think that he will).

As previously blogged, not even 1997 was 1997 (as popularly now understood); Labour received only 43.2% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_United_Kingdom_general_election.

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

I was and am willing to believe that “Captain Tom” meant well (though the whole stunt was basically brainless), but his daughter and her husband were very obviously riding it for all it was worth from the start. Disgraceful people.

The msm went along with it all because it tended to reinforce the “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” narrative of the times, the “Covid” craziness, “clapping for the NHS”, and other related nonsense.

See also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gxg4jd0ggo, which is well worth reading. An important investigation. These “grifters” should be hounded and prosecuted, not least because they destroy trust in the whole concept of charity and giving.

I myself gave a couple of small donations to that supposed quasi-charitable org. That’s a tenner I shall never get back. Not a fortune, true, but that “grifter” has thereby deprived me not only of a good feeling but also £10 with which I could have bought a couple of Lottery scratchcards. Never mind. If I ever meet him, I shall recover my money from the bastard in person.

I have blogged previously, several times, about this contemporary disease of online “grifters”— “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, the Anglo-Cypriot fraudster known as the “Bootstrap Cook”), “Supertanskiii” (grifts money via her pathetic Twitter/X account which pretends to be doing pro-Labour political campaigning via swearing at “the Tories”), “Man Behaving Dadly” (a Jew called Simon Harris, who “grifted” hundreds of thousands of pounds, like “Jack Monroe”, from gullible members of the public, and also cheated Essex County Council out of about £600,000).

Many others exist, including Julia Grace Patterson, a woman who worked as a very junior NHS doctor for about 2 years before deciding that it was easier to live from online “grifting” in various ways, while also posing online as some kind of champion of the crumbling NHS.

The Essex Police seem to be red-hot when it comes to supposedly “racist” teddy-bears, or jumping on legitimate free speech at the behest of the Jewish lobby, but not much use when it comes to frauds like the above (all based in Essex, apart from Depher UK).

Don’t forget the main one—Israel, aided by the Jewish lobby within the USA, embedded in politics, finance, TV, radio, newspapers, publishing, and business.

Simon Myerson

Many readers will be aware of the social media presence of a Jew-Zionist called Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (part-time criminal and civil judge), whose toxic social media presence has led to his being given formal “words of advice” (equivalent to a caution) by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

I have blogged a little about Myerson in the past; he used to tweet obsessively about me and others, and is tied up with the two organizations who have tried to persecute me over the past 10-12 years, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

Recently, Myerson’s sworn testimony in the civil case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor was discounted by the judge, along with that of other unreliable Jewish witnesses (Nathan Comiskey, Joanne Bell, Adam Cailler).

The Jewish defendants lost out, and at least one may have to sell his family home to pay the costs of the Claimant, he (the defendant in question) plainly having been misadvised by self-seeking Israel-based Mark Lewis and others.

One defendant, Newbon, another obsessed Zionist, committed suicide during the trial. The attempt to ruin a university lecturer, James Wilson, and make money out of it for Lewis and the defendants, backfired spectacularly.

Despite the above, Myerson is still practising at the Bar, and (as far as I know) still sitting as a Recorder.

He is an obsessive, like so many of “them”. Here we are at 1300 hrs on a Thursday afternoon, and Myerson has already tweeted 39 times today by my count, starting at about 0800 hrs this morning. So about 8 times per hour, for 5 hours (so far).

I have no idea whether his practice is busy or not.

Should Myerson be sitting in judgment over the fate of British people?

For more on that specific legal case and the fallout therefrom, see previous posts on this blog and/or the tweets of the successful and brave Claimant in the case, James Wilson: https://twitter.com/per_incuriam2.

Here’s an angry email from Patron’s partner Alexander Zivancevic. My view is that there is no blackmail, there is no harassment, there are no threats, and there are no mindless emails. My position is: Patron Law led its clients – Mr Mendelsohn, Dr Newbon and Mr Cantor – into disaster. And Patron Law ought to pay to get them out. Mr Zivancevic is annoyed and threatening because all this is going to cost him some cash. But it’s fair enough that he coughs up some cash to protect Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor? What do you think?”

I myself have no idea whether the defeated and possibly insolvent Jewish defendants will now seek to sue Mark Lewis and others, including Patron Law, on the basis of professional negligence, but it seems that that is a distinct possibility, if not probability.

Lewis himself has no property in this country, having “relocated” (fled?) to Israel several years ago. Indeed, just before he left, and at the time of his “conviction” in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (for violently insulting people on Twitter etc), and just before he moved “permanently” to Israel, his own Counsel pleaded that he should not be fined too heavily because his “only assets” were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter. Even his car had been provided for him for free, paid for by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers, via the DWP-connected Motability scheme. The so-called “top libel lawyer” (according to the tabloid Press in years past)…

Egregious on its own, but also interesting in that Lewis is apparently a partner in that Jewish or mainly Jewish law firm, Patron Law, based in West London. If Lewis is sued (successfully), it may be the case that the other partners of that firm will be jointly and severally liable, if joined to the putative or potential action.

I hesitate to be unequivocal on this, because I have not practised at the Bar since 2008, and was (albeit wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred for political reasons in 2016: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

It is not unlikely that the laws of both libel and business or professional partnership have changed over the past few years. I no longer bother to keep up with most legal changes.

Well, there it is, my opinion (which must now come with a non-governmental health warning…).

I have to say that Mr. Wilson is a far more forgiving man than I am. Those Jewish defendants were trying to ruin Wilson and, even if they have been used and bamboozled and manipulated by their fellow Jews, deserve to suffer the consequences of their own badness, in my opinion.

Blackmail?! Well there’s a coincidence. It is so weird. Before the “meanings” judgment was signed off and approved in my case, reading the draft I could see that it was not going well for the other side, that there would likely be further publicity which might be damaging to them and I did not want to cause them any harm. Like the old Buddhist hippy I am, via my sols, I made an offer that was pretty much in the same terms as the settlement we eventually ended up with, suggesting settlement before the judgment was handed down, and then we could ask the judge if he’d be willing not to hand down judgment in those circumstances. My offer was refused as “blackmail”. The judgment was delivered, and published on the BAILII website. The other side then settled. I don’t get it.” [tweeter Cremant Communarde “@0Calamity”]

…or maybe it’s just a (((you know who))) thing…

Needless to add, a “moral case” would not cut it; only a clear legal case would do that.

I wish Mr. Wilson good luck, and victory.

Regular readers will have seen that I recently had a slight disagreement with my wife over whether we should give to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance via some fellow who knocked uninvited at the door. I was unsure whether he was bona fide or not.

I later tried to contact the air ambulance people, only to discover that their telephone (the real one— I looked it up online) is an automated message which then switches to a line that then goes dead almost immediately. I emailed them via their own website but (about a week on), I have had no reply, nor even an acknowledgment.

I believe their CEO gets about £150,000 a year, maybe more, and that their total administrative staff salary spend (ie not pilots, not doctors etc) is about £700,000 a year. P*** poor.

I myself would never now give to Hampshire Air Ambulance, whether or not the bozo at the door was bona fide.

People should be banned from fundraising at the door anyway; it’s an open invitation to rip off householders.

The same goes for most of the larger charities as well. The higher-up staff are often getting £100,000, £200,000, even £400,000 a year. Forget it.

Quite so. The Kiev regime, as I have blogged for over a year now, is running out of soldiers, even the untrained cannon-fodder which has been pointlessly dying in waves over the past two years. As for those “unprepared defensive lines“, they merely emphasize the shambolic and corrupt nature of the Kiev regime.

The Kiev regime has run out of “useful idiots” willing to volunteer to be killed or crippled on the chaotic and crumbling front lines. The foreign idiot virtue-signallers (unemployed Brit ex-private soldiers and adventure junkies, American Soldier of Fortune readers etc) have long since gone home, or been killed. Kiev now press-gangs people off the streets to be sent —on pain of the firing squad— to the front. Few will return. No wonder they put up a serious fight before they are “recruited” and have to face the guns.

The Russian army is reportedly advancing on the Kharkov front, with reports indicating a storming of Liptsy. Ukrainian sources confirm the developments, stating that Russian infantry is launching attacks from the forest west of Lukyantsy, situated on the eastern outskirts of Liptsy. Heavy fighting is also reported west of Volchansk in the areas of Burgovatka and Starytsya, according to other Ukrainian sources.

Agree with about 90% of that, maybe more.

One thing she leaves out is which “demographic” is, ultimately, behind the attack on Christian culture(s) that she mentions (clue: not —most importantly— the Muslim demographic).

HEART specialist waiting lists are up by 75 per cent, according to NHS figures.

Health authorities have admitted that mRNA jabs can cause potentially fatal heart issues, and published post-mortems have recorded heart-related vaccine deaths.

Despite this, not one mainstream news outlet has looked at the role covid vaccinations could have played in the huge increase in heart problems. Instead, our health watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), continues to call vaccine-induced myocarditis and pericarditis ‘rare’, despite admitting a 90 per cent under-reporting rate (it could be as high as 99 per cent), and continues to blame SARS-CoV-2 infection.

This is a disingenuous assessment, according to top US cardiologist and epidemiologist Peter McCullough.”

I was unaware that Amsterdam is now 56% migrant. That figure does not even include all migrants who arrived over the past 50 years, or their offspring.

Very sad. When I first and briefly visited the Netherlands, aged maybe 8, in 1964 or 1965, there were no migrants, effectively.

When I returned alone, in 1975, aged 18, there were few. Later, on trips in the 1980s, Dutch friends of my family were complaining about the behaviour of the few (I think Turks, or possibly others from Turkey) who had somehow moved to their part of Amsterdam (a relatively-new suburb in or by North Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Noord): thefts of bicycles, littering etc— maybe “petty”, but already slowly changing their decent (and fairly new) neighbourhood into a declining and less pleasant one.

My last visit to the Netherlands, other than using Schiphol airport a number of times, was in the mid-1980s. More recently, I heard from Dutch friends how things had changed, and not for the better. Drugs, crime generally, an immigrant takeover in some parts of the city etc. This all co-incided with economic problems, housing shortages (mass immigration again), considerable job insecurity, and a general cultural decline.

Sad.

As with the Swedes, the Dutch made the mistake of allowing decent tolerance to become indecent licence, and of allowing a kind welcome for a few non-Europeans to become an open invitation for any and all, millions of them.

Britain made, and is still making, the same or similar mistakes, and is also indoctrinating its young people with the same pathetic and weak pseudo-ideology that is eroding white Europe from within.

Incidentally, I just saw this, about WW2 bombing of Amsterdam-Noord:

In the Second World War the industry fields in Amsterdam-Noord were the target of the air bombings by the Allied Forces.[1]

The Fokker factories were the 17 July 1943 bombings’ goal, but the bombs of the United States Army Air Forces fell on the surrounding residential areas, causing 158 deaths and 119 seriously injured as a result.

The British’ Royal Air Force and Free French Air Forces both did another attempt to bomb the factory on 25 and 28 July, resulting in the death of 200 citizens in total by the three raids.[2]

Only the British Forces managed to bomb the targeted airplane factory, all other bombs fell on residential areas in Amsterdam-Noord. This is the heaviest air bombardment that ever hit Amsterdam. 106 houses were destroyed, 206 houses heavily damaged and 676 houses suffered glass and roof damage. Every year a memorial ceremony takes place on 17 July at De Nieuwe Noorder cemetery.”

[The Guardian]

Less an ordinary by-election, more a possible template for GE 2024. As I have blogged previously, there is a mood somewhere between anger and apathy, a mood which has become palpable in recent years, recent months.

The electorate now hates and despises the Conservative Party, whose governments now seem totally incompetent and ineffective. However, fake Labour is not much liked or respected either. “Least worst”, if you like.

As the Guardian report about Wellingborough indicates, that electoral mood leads people either to vote Labour as least-worst option, or to protest via Reform UK.

Sadly, no real social-national party is available.

The electorate’s present main emotion is wanting to stamp on the Government, on the misnamed Conservative Party, and on its MPs.

BBC editor was hired as an expert witness to help at least 15 Somalian criminals fight deportation – including a vile offender who sexually attacked a deaf teenage girl.

Last year, The Mail on Sunday exposed how Mary Harper, Africa Editor for the World Service, was  paid to give expert witness evidence for Somali gang rapist Yaqub Ahmed during his five-year legal battle to stay in the UK.

Now an investigation by this newspaper can reveal Ms Harper has given expert witness evidence in a string of other controversial deportation appeals by Somali offenders – including for another three sex attackers, three drug dealers and a career criminal who spent a decade in British jails.

In one of the most shocking cases, Ms Harper warned that a Somali man who committed a horrific sexual assault on a profoundly deaf 17-year-old girl would be at ‘severely heightened risk’ if he was sent back to Somalia because he had committed a sex crime.

A judge disagreed and threw out his appeal against deportation. Astonishingly, this newspaper has discovered that, 16 months later, the 29-year-old attacker, who the MoS is banned from naming by a court order, has still not been kicked out of Britain and is living with relatives in a council flat.”

Get rid of the invaders. Get rid of any who connive at the migration-invasion of this country.

Talking point: a medical episode

I do not usually blog about any medical conditions that may impact me, but in this case something wider, about the NHS, is illustrated.

When I lived for a year in Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I suddenly became almost deaf at one point. Ear wax. The wife of a Russian colonel with whom I was friendly took me to a local hospital not far from where I lived; I think that it was about a mile up the same long boulevard, Prospekt Lenina.

The treatment was basic but effective. A giant “watering can” was filled with water. I was enjoined to kneel down with my head sideways over a large receptacle. A metal cone about 2 feet deep was then positioned over one of my ears. One nurse held the cone as the other poured the water quickly but steadily into the cone.

The feeling —not pain exactly, but pressure— was almost unbearable for a second. It reminded me of a couple of experiences during scuba dive training. Then it was over, and a plug of ear wax the size of a little finger was floating in the water. Blessed relief. Hearing was restored.

I think —cannot now recall— that either the treatment was free or involved a small fee. I wanted to give the nurses themselves some money, but Ludmilla, the colonel’s wife, told me that that would not be necessary. She was always saving me from “wasting” money (and/or from the odd blonde), as when we were at the “Zilyony Bazaar” (“Green Market”), the Central Market in Almaty, and she would not hear of me having my fortune told by an ancient Kazakh woman sitting on the ground, and who used small animal bones to do her divinations. Ludmilla was a strong character, a contrast to her very easy-going husband.

The next time I had a similar problem, about 2015, the local GP surgery made me an appointment to see a nurse. I did attend, but in fact felt OK by the time I attended, and the nurse said that she could not see any wax anyway. So nothing had to be done.

Well, here we are in 2024. I was informed by the same GP surgery that they “no longer offer” any ear wax removal. A private clinic was recommended. It operates out of a small and quiet NHS hospital in a coastal village about 5 miles from my home. I made the appointment. £15 non-refundable deposit and £65 for the treatment. I could have had it done earlier, but am in fact going next week.

So there it is. Something that used to be free on the NHS now has to be paid for, or no treatment. I am not exactly affluent these days, and even a sum as small as £80 is not nothing (as the Russians say), but one can well imagine that there are many who would struggle to find the fee demanded.

The NHS is less and less useful. Here we are, with GPs earning, in most cases, £100,000-£200,000 a year, monies coming out of all our taxes (even if, like me, you are not employed, you still pay out via VAT etc), and they no longer offer what was a minor but still very useful service. A sign of the way things are going.

The NHS lost its way many years ago. It now seems, often, to be run mainly for the benefit of those employed in it.

It is not just a question of supplying the NHS with more money, or higher staff salaries, bonuses etc. It is a question of making sure that the people are offered services, and that the outcomes are good. Also, that the people needing medical (and dental) help, and their families, are not messed around and ripped-off (eg by having to pay exorbitant parking fees).

At least I myself shall not have to pay for parking next week; having been to that small hospital once before, I know that parking is free, just as in the Good Old Days (or today in the USA, France and I think almost everywhere else).

The very concept of “free speech” is heavily under threat already in the UK (mainly from Jew-Zionists and the Israel lobby, and from unthinking police, CPS, and other “official” drones), but now we see that people are being criminalized simply for having it assumed that they are thinking something!

Kafka himself would scarcely believe it…

Sturgeon and her SNP crew deserve to be kicked into the political gutter.

How cheaply people are bought, though! The Scottish electorate was offered and given a few cheap trinkets for its votes: no hospital car park charges, no prescription charges etc. That, and the the promise of a wonderful affluent Independence (which will never happen).

Nothing wrong with free parking and free prescriptions, as such, but look at the wider cost to the Scottish people under Sturgeon’s poundland dictatorship.

Quite similar to, though I think slightly less pretty than, the stylish Edwardian conservatory at our (leased) house in Cornwall over 20 years ago. We also had a wisteria tree growing up a wall inside.

That occurred to me many years ago. Climate change (if occurring, and whether man-made or otherwise) may have as many upsides as downsides. We do not yet know.

Yes. I blogged about it at the time. Obedient rabbits lined up outside Waitrose, masked, and six feet apart (as decided upon by know-nothings “Boris” Johnson and Little Matt Hancock, and enforced by dim, black-clad, Handmaid’s Tale militia), only to rub shoulders once inside. Meanwhile, the pub across the road was open and without any restriction. Etc.

I am not a Champagne-drinker, but I might open a bottle of Krug when Gates goes up the chimney…

Last year, I woke up to a police officer banging on my door accusing me of posting “hate speech” on Twitter. I asked her what law I’d allegedly broken and she couldn’t name a single one. She had no idea what she was talking about, but told me I’d be arrested if I didn’t stop doing the things she couldn’t even tell me I’d done. Helpful! Needless to say, free speech is nothing more than a relic of the past here in the UK.”

Tell me about it! (I am now going to be sentenced “in the mags” (in March, probably)— for having blogged nothing but the truth).

Interesting and thought-provoking.

Having several times flown from Western Europe to Almaty, Kazakhstan, I was aware that the far-western Kazakhstan city of Uralsk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral,_Kazakhstan] is nearer to Vienna (where I changed planes a few times when flying from London on Austrian Airlines) than to Almaty.

These matters are important, because maps have a strongly-influencing effect on the mind, and so on policy and world-historical events and trends.

As far as I know, Marianna Spring has never once mentioned the Jew-Zionist lobby, which is arguably (I say unarguably) the worst trolling group or, indeed, cabal on Twitter.

“They” specialize in making false and malicious complaints to Twitter, as well as to police, professional regulators, OFCOM etc. “They” managed to have me expelled from Twitter in 2018. Of course, I could now get reinstatement (and a “blue tick”), but I do not see Twitter as a particularly influential platform anyway.

Information about Ms. Spring and her origins is sketchy (in the English sense): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianna_Spring.

One thing is for sure: Marianna Spring will not be questioning the official, or System, or BBC line on matters such as race, culture, the “Covid” “panicdemic” or “scamdemic”, “Ukraine” (support for the Zelensky regime) etc. If she did, she would almost certainly be sacked or put in a backroom job at once, and would lose the £80,000+ salary BBC correspondents now get.

Towards the end of that last video clip, you see the Kiev-regime POWs (not all actual Ukrainians, it seems) marching off as best they can, either unescorted, or escorted by one Wagner Group contract-soldier, who wishes them a happy Easter (Russian Easter is happening at present, because the Russian Orthodox Church uses the ancient Julian calendar, so Russian Easter is over two weeks later than the Western churches’ Easter festival).

A side-effect of workers moving out of care work to other work would be that care work would then only attract people with no other choices, forced to do care work by being, for example, pressured by the DWP.

Interesting video, rather idealistic. If the British Empire still existed and still ruled, the Arab-Jew problem in Palestine would be contained, and Israel would not be a centre of a manipulative web across the world.

I thought Elon Musk too intelligent to buy into a massive scam such as Twitter.

Making the best of it

That report reminded me of when I was first in Almaty, Kazakhstan (in 1996 and 1997). I lived on one of the main boulevards, Prospekt Lenina. There were frequent power cuts or, as the Americans say, “outages”.

I bought some candles for my 12th-floor Soviet penthouse apartment, and that was OK, though I nearly got stuck in the lift one day when there was a power cut the moment I stepped out of that lift, having returned from my office. The power did not return until about midday the next day, so that was a lucky miss for me.

In fact, my area of the city was not so badly affected as others, being within the “Presidentsky” district, where the then Presidential Palace and major embassies were located. Usually, the power cuts involved one or two areas at a time, with other areas continuing to receive electrical supply. Where I lived was certainly given preferential treatment, but still lost power fairly often.

I remember well that I was due to dine with three people one evening at a small and little-patronized Georgian restaurant in a quiet lane not too far from my home, a place almost in the countryside.

When the time came to meet those people, I was sitting in the empty restaurant. They arrived together, a young American in the Peace Corps, and two local Russian girls who were employed by an American organization; I had met them previously.

No sooner had they sat down than the electricity was cut off. The owner of the place, a Georgian lady called Bella, hurried to put out quite a few candles.

In the restaurant, with its wooden walls and lack of traffic noise (the lane outside was deserted), this created a kind of 19th century environment. One of the Russian girls started to play the piano which was there. Mainly Chopin.

In the candlelight, it was like being in a scene adapted from Chekhov or some other pre-revolutionary author; perhaps a country estate circa 1860 and in a Russia not yet hit by modern warfare or the shocks of violent revolution. Charmant

That evening has always stayed with me.

Very clever. Funny, but also sad and also true…

Still slightly favourable on defence and “terrorism”? How? Why? The armed forces seem incapable of stopping migration invasion across the Channel, and are too small to stop any conventional invasion. The present ZOG (Zionist Occupation Government) is pledged to continue to waste billions funnelling money and arms to the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

What about “terrorism”? The Muslims are not taking over the British cities via “terrorism” but via their birth-rate. The Jews continue to send their teenage children to Israel, there to be trained in the use of firearms, as well as in techniques of streetfighting, but are not even monitored (much) by the UK Security Service on their return to the UK.

James Cleverly, proud possessor of a McDegree (in Hospitality Management) from a McUniversity, and who has never done much else (except work his way up in the TA) drones on. That half-caste is Foreign Secretary, believe it or not. This country is so screwed, and in so many ways.

I must do a blog article, in my Deadhead MPs series, about Cleverly.

Thinking about who would vote “Conservative” now.

Some would. People whose income is well above the norm, perhaps; those on £150,000+, and who are also voting out of purely personal self-interest . Then —the largest group— those who want to vote specifically against Labour, and see a Con vote as the only effective way to do it.

Are there any other groups of “Conservative” voters now? I think not. The last 12 years have seen no effective policy or action on the immigration problem, whether in general or specifically re. the cross-Channel migration-invasion. As for that trad Con strongpoint, “law and order”, we have seen police numbers cut, courts (in the hundreds) closed down to save money, a huge backlog of trials, and legal aid cuts which have effectively denied millions the right to access the legal system.

Yes, a lot can happen in the two years before a general election has to be held, but it cannot really be said that Liz Truss has any popular mandate, and things look likely to slide even further from here: utility bills, mortgage payments, whatever may hit the UK by reason of the wrongheaded anti-Russia sanctions and military adventurism.

Even the mainly self-interested “grey vote” of pensioners and those nearing State Pension age might pause before placing their crosses next to the Conservative Party candidate, now that it has emerged that the young Liz Truss actually wanted to abolish the State Pension, and who intends to slash other benefits relied on by pensioners.

I assessed Rory Stewart in 2019, when he was a candidate for the Conservative Party leadership. I also updated it, and continue to do so. A large number of people have read that assessment. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/03/will-rory-stewart-mp-be-prime-minister/.

This England

Saw an episode covering 2020. Not as good as the previous episode. Too many scenes with patients suffering (supposedly) from “Covid”, not enough scenes about the political infighting. The drama stuck to the official or accepted (?) narrative(s). Not much questioning of that.
