According to the malicious, tiny but very well-funded Jewish/Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], as many as 96% of “British” Jews consider themselves to be “Zionist”, and most of them also support what the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza and elsewhere.

That last tweeter is wrong; she compares one or two days at Dresden with the whole 5+ years of war in the UK.

The more accurate figures are: about 60,000 killed in Britain, as against (disputed) 350,000 to 800,000 killed in Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II.

The increasing support for Reform UK among (but not exclusively) “the young” seems to mirror the support for the AfD in Germany.

For me, Reform UK is not the way to go: pro-Israel, pro the UK Jewish lobby, economically “libertarian” etc. I agree with the Reform UK hostility to mass immigration, but not with much else they say. For me, real social nationalism is the way to go.

Still, the overall direction of travel is hopeful.

You see tweets, or on TV, that “at least the migrants are prepared to work“, but first of all that applies to some, not all; secondly, what that naive assessment omits to add is that the kind of work most of them (the ones that are willing to work) want to do (or can do, having no usable qualifications or skills, or English language), is in the “black economy”. No income tax, no VAT etc. That way, they can get whatever State benefits they can blag as well as whatever they can make on the side, so rent paid, pocket money, maybe disability too in some cases. Child benefit, if applicable. You get the idea.

The bigger picture, as Goodwin has said, is that that whole process traps this country into being a low-wage, low productivity economy. Exactly the opposite of where we should be heading.

That would be good.

The self-describing “left” is particularly prone to denunciation. In fact, in modern Britain, that is its sole characteristic of note. No more do they want to revolt against privilege, or have a revolution of some sort. No, all they want to do is to obey the dictates of the State (especially if fronted by a “Labour” label), and to “deplatform” or “cancel” (censor or ban) anyone thought to be an independent thinker (usually someone labelled “racist” or “fascist” or “Nazi“). You saw the syndrome during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, of course. Anyone questioning the nonsense pumped out by Government or “SAGE” (I preferred “DUMB”— the Department Under Matt and Boris) was called a “Covidiot” by real idiots such as Piers Morgan.

You can send 200 to somewhere like Rwanda, maybe even 2,000; at a pinch, maybe even 20,000. You cannot, however, send 200,000, or 2 million, or 4 million, or 6 million or more.

£1M in 1939 is about £50M or more in the money of 2024. See https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator.

I hope that all readers of the blog will read the tweets of David Morgan, a bold young man from Wales.

Get rid of her.

“The United States is afraid of losing Ukrainian troops before the November presidential elections, because it will be very bad for the Biden administration, and especially for Kamala Harris.

Ukraine, even with American or Western weapons, cannot improve the situation on the battlefield, but the White House has only one goal – to ensure that the Ukrainians do not fail before the elections ,” says John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist.“

“Zelensky in an interview with NBC News: Russia must be present at the second peace summit He said that Ukraine and the signatories of the Swiss resolution will work out a plan to end the war by this event and will propose it for the second summit.

“Representatives of Russia must be present there. We understand that without the Russian side, it is very difficult to end this war diplomatically. And all countries asked us to have representatives of the Russian Federation at the second summit. We said, we are not against it, let’s prepare a plan and invite them.”

Zelensky knows that the Kiev regime is losing. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

[statuary group at Stalingrad, 1943]

Thoughts about “two-tier Keir”, two-tier “justice” etc

I often look at local newspapers online. Sometimes, you can get a better idea of where UK society is from those sources than you do from the national Press.

I just saw a few reports in the local Press, from several places in the south of England, which must surely stagger anyone who has observed the almost Stalinist sentences recently handed down to those who have been involved directly or indirectly in the recent protests or so-called “riots”.

Example: a mixed-race individual described as “a powerful thug” lost his jacket in a bar. He demanded that the barman find it. He then punched the barman and, despite other staff intervening, did so again. Door staff detained him after a struggle, the police arrived, and he then punched a policeman in the face. Previous offences of violence. Result? Non-custodial sentence.

Another example? “Traveller” (Irish tinker/”gypsy”) took police on a high-speed chase in a van. Much damage done, and some injury to members of the public. Tried to run off after he crashed. Uninsured. No driving licence. Multiple previous convictions. Result? Non-custodial sentence.

The recent sentencing for “political” or quasi-political “crimes” has mostly been a disgrace, and has actually shown up the System politicians, notably “two-tier” Keir, as being not strong (as they try to project) but fearful, and the System itself as brittle, without much resilience.

Incidentally, I was just thinking about that time, related in the New Testament, when Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the Jew moneychangers and did other “rebellious” actions, and scourged the moneychangers (at least symbolically):

“In the narrative, Jesus is stated to have visited the Temple in Jerusalem, where the courtyard was described as being filled with livestock, merchants, and the tables of the money changers, who changed the standard Greek and Roman money for Jewish and Tyrian shekels.[6] Jerusalem was packed with Jews who had come for Passover, perhaps numbering 300,000 to 400,000 pilgrims.[7][8]

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

— John 2:15–16, King James Version[9]

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

— Matthew 21:12–13, King James Version[10]“

[Wikipedia]

Now obviously the motivation of Jesus Christ was not the same as those “rioting” or protesting in the UK recently, but it could yet be described as “ideological” and/or “rebellious”, and certainly His actions were not that different from those of some of the recent defendants sentenced to imprisonment for having shouted insulting words, overturned cars, assaulted policemen and others etc.

Admittedly, one cannot imagine Jesus Christ looting a sausage-roll shop…

Worth thinking about, anyway.

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

I nearly forgot to add that the said “tinker”, mentioned above, was sentenced to a non-custodial sentence partly because “he had to support” (I wonder how, exactly?) no less than 7 children, with another expected shortly.

Meanwhile, every single year, many millions more “migrants” (migrant-invaders) flood into Europe. A million or so or them end up invading Britain (whether as “legals” or “illegals”, often posing as permitted entrants (“fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, workers with work visas, “tourists” etc). Many just disappear into “the community” once here.

That Usherwood individual, formerly Political Editor at LBC radio (owned by Jewish Zionists) seems to have been tied up with the noisier parts of the Jew-Zionist lobby, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]. He has an agenda, in my opinion.

At time of blogging, the situation remains unclear.

So looks as though the attack failed. This time.

I have been reading The View from the Foothills: the Diaries of Chris Mullins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Mullin_(politician)], published in 2009.

In an entry from a date in 2000, Mullins (appointed a junior minister under Blair) notes that one major problem with housing provision is that “most of the private rental housing has been soaked up by asylum seekers“.

In 2000! 24 years ago!

Some political nitwits, though, still do not seem to understand the basic facts, as seen with former MP, Sajid Javid:

[“4 million“? Make that 14 million and more!]

Not entirely accurate, though not completely wrong either.

National identities across Europe developed, out of existing identities, in the earliest years of the 5th Post-Atlantean Age, that is, roughly, from 1400 AD.

Prior to that, someone might hold feudal power in more than one part of Europe, as the Plantagenet kings held sway in both England and parts of France.

The Renaissance recapitulated in a new way the 4th Post-Atantean Age (the Greco-Roman), and that 5th Age was at its beginning then. Joan of Arc was one major manifestation.

Once national identity strengthened, feudalism, with its system of fealty crossing other boundaries, waned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fealty.

In England, the influences of the new form of identity, national identity stricto sensu, slowly developed from that time. The Renaissance was slightly delayed in coming to England, having originated in Italy. Later, in the Tudor period (i.e. from 1485), a greater sense of national identity grew, but the same or similar was happening all over Europe, and had already started to happen in Switzerland, particularly.

So Caroline Lucas, though wrong in the specifics (the Tudors did not “invent” English national identity), is not totally wrong inasmuch as that identity, as we now understand it, was to a large extent initially the product of the Tudor period.

That is not my idea of a police Chief Superintendent, either.

The truth is that the “authorities” are afraid of the blacks. They know that, were this ridiculous and out-of-place “festival” to be prohibited, the blacks would go *** —what’s the phrase?— well, let’s just say they would get angry. As in burn down London angry. As in destroy Notting Hill angry. Therefore, the Notting Hill Carnival will be an annual nuisance until Britain has a proper government and society.

I tend to agree. Not everyone who has a bicycle, obviously, but the members of the Lycra clothing/silly cap/2-wheel death squad brigade.

That might be just a way of preventing the Kiev regime from redeploying some forces to the Kursk incursion. We shall see.

The overcrowded prisons, the aftermath of the recent protests, and about real criminals released early

There are nuances in the situation, and a few minor objections might be made to that amiable rant, but fundamentally he is right. Even the Guardian admits it: https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/17/fresh-uk-prisons-crisis-as-riots-lead-to-fears-of-overcrowding.

Basically, 1,000+ people have now been arrested following the recent protests and connected minor “riots” (or violent outbreaks) here and there.

Many of those people have been charged, and many of those have been remanded in custody, meaning put into prison until trial (which might be as long as a year or more later, unless fast-tracked). Those who have pleaded guilty so far mostly seem to have been imprisoned anyway.

The fact is that many (probably almost all) of those imprisoned, either pending trial or after having pleaded guilty, are not in any way, even in the lay sense, “dangerous”. Many have no previous convictions, and even those who do (and the sentences of which have been reported after guilty pleas) have convictions mainly for non-violent offences (shoplifting, drugs etc).

What Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and (absurdly) Shabana Mahmood, have done is to release known and active criminals early (many non-white, and after they have completed only 40% of their sentences), in order to free up space which is now being used to incarcerate English people who are, almost all, not active criminals.

Those released early under that scheme will, many of them, re-offend within a fairly short space of time, whereas relatively few of those arrested in the aftermath of the recent protests will re-offend at all, ever, and certainly not in terms of violent disorder. That of course applies even more to those arrested/charged/imprisoned because they merely made comments, justified or otherwise, on social media.

It is beginning to look very much as though Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and the ridiculous Shabana Mahmood (currently posing as “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice) have no idea what they are doing. To me, their over-reaction to the recent minor disorders that took place (by English people— those done by Roma Gypsies in Leeds, and Pakistanis in Birmingham etc, have gone largely unpunished) seems much like that of the Queen of Hearts in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “Off with their heads!“

[“Off with their heads!“]

Incidentally, was there ever a “Lord Chancellor” and Justice Secretary less qualified? A moot point after some in recent years, I concede. However, Shabana Mahmood is an absurd choice for the role. She was only at the practising Bar for a few months, if that (after a year of pupillage), and then worked as a salaried gopher in a firm of solicitors, and only for a couple of years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career.

Shabana Mahmood’s entire legal career only lasted about 3-4 years.

She was probably appointed to placate the Pakistani Muslim element in the UK.

Pakistanis as such are now about 3% of the population; Muslims as a whole (many of which are also Pakistani but born in the UK) comprise 6% of the UK population now. Both anyway are significant voting blocs, and important in general political terms.

Kursk incursion

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/18/zelenskiy-ukraine-shock-russia-offensive-incursion

“Nearly early two weeks after its surprise incursion into Russia, Ukraine finds itself struggling to find a balance between seizing territory across the border in Kursk and losing it at the heart of the eastern front in central Donetsk.

On Friday, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, claimed advances were being made of up to two miles a day inside Russia, but Moscow’s forces have gained about three miles this month as the Kremlin bets heavily on capturing the hub of Pokrovsk.

In Pokrovsk, meanwhile, officials have stepped up civilian evacuations. Serhiy Dobryak, head of the city military administration, warned that Russian forces had “almost approached” the city and that alarm about its future was growing.

Until a year ago, Pokrovsk was considered safe enough to act as a regional base where journalists and aid workers could stay overnight. Its road and rail connections link the central city of Dnipro with Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Capturing it would in effect cut the part of Donetsk oblast still in Ukrainian hands in two.

There are persistent rumours that Col Emil Ishkulov, the popular commander of Ukraine’s 80th brigade, now among those involved in the incursion into Kursk, was removed from his position at the end of July because he was opposed to the incursion into Russia – unsure his unit had the strength for the task. At the time, soldiers from the unit issued an unsuccessful public appeal for him to be reinstated.

Sumy, which has a population of about 250,000, has remained busy and lively in the summer heat, though the noise of explosions from Russian glide bombs in the distance stepped up over last week. Its hospitals, though, have been filling up with frontline casualties, and an appeals for blood donations went out to help treat wounded soldiers a week ago. It took an hour for the need to be met.

The city has also received about 4,000 people fleeing the agricultural villages in the area towards the border in the north, many of whom plan to rent apartments.

In the border zone, six miles from the boundary, meanwhile, only a tiny handful of civilians and little functioning infrastructure remain. One shop with smashed windows was still selling groceries, but most places were boarded up. An aid agency, Global Empowerment Mission, supplies nearly 26,000 food rations every month because market supplies are absent, visiting frontline villages every week to distribute to the remaining population.“

[Guardian]

I recently examined this situation on the blog. My thoughts were that either Putin might push the incursion forces back using conventional military means, or blast the entire area from the air, destroying the Kiev-regime forces (as well as any unfortunate Russian and Ukrainian villagers still trying to live there).

Another possibility, less likely, would be a massive bombardment of either Kharkov or Kiev, using bombers and missiles.

Now, I have come to think that there is a fourth possibility, one which has roots in Russian and Soviet history.

When, as Tolstoy put it, in War and Peace, “the forces of Western Europe invaded Russia” in 1812 (the forces commanded by Napoleon were not all French, though about two-thirds were), the strategy adopted by the Russian leadership under Kutuzov, once he was appointed, was to withdraw and withdraw out of reach, while carrying out some limited flanking attacks and what we might now term “special operations”.

According to the preferred strategy, St. Petersburg, the capital, was protected both by troops and by distance, and so was never threatened by the Grande Armee. Moscow, however, was abandoned and set on fire.

Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow was famously disastrous, his armies all but destroyed by attritional flank attacks, cold, lack of food, and by disease.

Of the initial half million men, only about 100,000 made it back to France or other countries.

“On 24 June 1812 and subsequent days, the initial wave of the multinational Grande Armée crossed the Niemen River, marking the entry from the Duchy of Warsaw into Russia.

Employing extensive forced marches, Napoleon rapidly advanced his army of nearly half a million individuals through Western Russia, encompassing present-day Belarus, in a bid to dismantle the disparate Russian forces led by Barclay de Tolly and Pyotr Bagration totaling approximately 180,000–220,000 soldiers at that juncture.[21][22]

Despite losing half of his men within six weeks due to extreme weather conditions, diseases and scarcity of provisions, Napoleon emerged victorious in the Battle of Smolensk. However, the Russian Army, now commanded by Mikhail Kutuzov, opted for a strategic retreat, employing attrition warfare against Napoleon compelling the invaders to rely on an inadequate supply system, incapable of sustaining their vast army in the field.“

[Wikipedia]

In the German invasion and war of 1941-1945, the Wehrmacht advanced to within sight of central Moscow, but were then held and pushed back. Stalin was unwilling to abandon Moscow, the capital, for reasons of morale and administration.

However, elsewhere in European Russia, the Stavka (high command) allowed the Germans to advance and advance into the apparently limitless space (prostor, in the Russian word), as the German supply lines became elongated and eventually unable to supply enough food and ammunition; this came to a head particularly during the battle for Stalingrad.

Reverting to the Kursk situation in 2024, it can be seen that the operation was designed by Zelensky, against the advice of some of his commanders, as a public relations exercise. The suppliers of arms and vast amounts of Western taxpayers’ money had to be shown that the Kiev-regime forces were not beaten. Those forces achieved surprise, and, at first, considerable success.

The area presently held seems to be less than 1,000 sq. km: https://www.ft.com/content/84c60abe-1eab-4440-8511-c13218c7bbe7. That is rather more than twice the size of the Isle of Wight.

The Kiev-regime forces were advancing several miles a day in that Kursk border region, but have probably now almost stopped.

Russian forces far to the south, in the Donbass, are advancing 1-3 miles a day, apparently. The Kiev-regime forces are outmannned and outgunned there, a situation made worse by the use of some experienced Ukrainian troops for the Kursk incursion.

What Putin could do (though it might be politically difficult) would be to do little but just about hold the line in the Kursk region, or even fall back on Kursk city (about 30-40 miles from the present front-line), while pounding the Kiev-regime supply lines and rear echelon areas. The Kiev regime forces do not have the manpower or ammunition etc to advance endlessly. Their tide may already have reached its fullest extent.

In other words, Putin could almost let those Kiev-regime forces in the Kursk region “die on the vine”, in MacArthur’s memorable phrase.

Once those Kiev regime forces are stuck in the Kursk region, or have retreated, or are destroyed, those forces will not be able to be deployed, or re-deployed, on the Donbass front. Even now, it looks as though Russian forces will soon split the Kiev-regime forces there into two. Once that results in further crumbling of the front, startling Russian advances may be seen, either in the next few months or next summer. All of Eastern Ukraine may fall to Russian forces in 2025.

The Notting Hill Carnival should never have been allowed in the first place, and should be terminated now but will not be, because the Government is afraid of weeks of rioting and looting by blacks if such a step were to be taken.

I attended that carnival once, out of curiosity. In the early or mid 1980s. Absolutely ghastly. Intolerable noise, mostly from horrible amplified “music”. Intolerable crowds. Also, no way of getting out without walking miles. In the end, I walked all the way back to Little Venice.

Another strange Mark Lewis tale

So it seems that the “poor and victimized” Jewish couple, supposedly targeted by an American black comedian, then booed out of an Edinburgh Fringe comedy show by the irritated audience, were none other than Mark Lewis, the egregious self-promoting solicitor, and his wife/partner/carer Mandy Blumenthal. They made a big fuss about emigrating to Israel six years ago. They said that Britain was too “antisemitic” for them to remain here, and so were, in effect, getting out while they could.

A pack of lies. They spend quite a bit of time here, and do not seem to feel any obligation to stay and help Israel in its hour of need.

If those tweets by Reginald D. Hunter are true (accurate), that puts another complexion on the “victimized Jewish couple” story as first published and broadcast recently.

First of all, one has to ask why Lewis and his companion went to such a show in the first place, if the comedian, one Reginald D. Hunter, is known for being “antisemitic” (I have to admit that I had never heard of him at all).

What was their motive even for going there if they were aware of the comedian’s expressed views?

It will be remembered by some that Mandy Blumenthal deliberately tried to book passage, quite many years ago, on a Middle Eastern airline operating out of Heathrow, and made it known that she was Jewish (perhaps using her Israeli passport rather than her UK one). Once refused by the airline, a “typical” fuss was made, both at the airport and in the (((Press))), and the airline quickly stumped up, apparently, quite a few thousand pounds by way of “compensation” (to shut her up).

Is this yet another cynical way to get money, this time out of the comedian, the promoter or the theatre? Was the whole thing contrived in advance, like that airline scam, or not? We do not know, and can only try to draw logical conclusions from what we know.

Incidentally, here is the Times of Israel report about the airline “compensation” scam: https://www.timesofisrael.com/kuwait-air-to-compensate-israeli-for-refusing-to-fly-her-report/. It makes clear that lawyers from “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] helped Mandy Blumenthal to make her claim, which resulted in her receiving “substantial damages“.

Mark Lewis is —quelle surprise— a member, indeed perhaps even a leading member, of UKLFI, as well as the notorious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], both of which have been involved in attacking me over recent years (since 2014): see, eg, https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Reading about what the comedian said on stage, it seems that he recognized the “anonymous” Jewish couple of the Press stories, and that that is why he said that he had been “waiting” for Lewis, assuming that it was Lewis, to turn up:

“During the furore, Hunter, 55, appeared to double down on his initial joke, telling the couple: “I’ve been waiting for you all summer, where the f*** you been?” [Jewish Chronicle]. https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/israeli-couple-hounded-out-of-reginald-d-hunter-fringe-show-as-he-makes-jokes-about-jews-g6dtt4ip.

Lewis has been in considerable legal trouble recently: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/07/26/diary-blog-26-july-2024-including-the-latest-news-about-the-unprofessional-behaviour-of-mark-lewis-lawyer/.

As for his previous history, the blog post below covers, or has links about, Lewis’s previous and rather inglorious activities: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/20/self-publicizing-supposed-top-lawyer-mark-lewis-full-transcript-of-disciplinary-hearing-judgment-now-released-by-tribunal/.

That’s even before one considers the way in which he treated his ex-wife, one-time low-level TV face, and radio voice (now washed-up and over the hill), Caroline Feraday. I have little time for her anyway, so let’s leave that aside for now (she joined with Lewis in abusing me very unpleasantly on Twitter, about 12 years ago, so she deserved to suffer once she married him, in my view).

As for that Daily Mail scribbler who claims to have “tracked down” the “Jewish couple”, that is none other than Sabrina Miller, who was at the centre of the contrived storm around anti-Zionist academic Dr. David Miller [https://x.com/Tracking_Power] formerly of Bristol University, who was sacked but later won at an employment tribunal: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/05/bristol-university-professor-discrimination-anti-zionist/; and https://www.gbnews.com/news/anti-zionist-professor-wins-landmark-case-against-unfair-dismissal-video.

Sabrina Miller, when a vociferous Jewish girl student at Bristol, found time to defend Jewish-lobby-puppet and then-MP, Ian Austin, who had tweeted that bestiality pornography and other similar material should be decriminalized. Now she is a “journalist” with the Daily Mail.

The Mail might not have the best reputation, but it really should draw the line at contrived “stories” such as this Edinburgh Fringe scam.

Looks to me as though the audience recognized Lewis specifically, and were loudly disapproving for that reason.

As for the comedian, the promoter (if any), and the theatre, they should resist any contrived legal claim that “any” ambulance-chaser might make…

This all makes me feel that “a certain person” was right (about “them”)…

Lewis must be desperate to invent a case…

The Daily Mail should sack Sabrina Miller. Jews always demand sackings for far less default, so what is good for the goose, etc…

As I surmised.

Looks as if I guessed correctly…

What does Starmer think those imprisoned protesters, tweeters, Facebook posters feel about the UK government of traitors now? Happy? Angry? Determined?

God help John Betjeman, were he still alive. “Come, friendly German bombers, and drop your bombs on Slough“… he would probably be arrested by the “Anti-Terror Command” or other poundshop UK Stasi police, and/or imprisoned for years.

Almost anything now published or spoken by msm scribblers and talking heads can be discounted. If they ever cross the line into uncomfortable and “unapproved” reality, they soon lose those lucrative jobs— and they know it.

All in the Donbass, where Russian forces are now steadily advancing at a rate of up to 3 miles per day.

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

Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.

Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.

That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

The “trans” nonsense has become utterly ridiculous. Having said that, women should not be boxing anyway.

Less than a month since GE 2024, and Starmer-Labour is already the “elected” dictatorship I predicted. I say “elected“, of course, because only 4 out of every 12 voters who voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 of all eligible voters— 8 out of 20 did not vote at all).

We are not ruled by “Labour” or “Conservative” labels, but by NWO/ZOG puppets. There is no substantial difference between the “two main parties”.

…and there are “alternative” NWO/ZOG puppets, less important ones, too: “Tommy Robinson”, Reform UK, Farage, Tice etc.

Late tweets

What has been absent from comment is the sheer malice of the recent announcement. I see Rachel Reeves as an extremely malicious person, and she will be well aware of the fact that few people aged 65+ vote Labour.

“Zelensky: We will discuss the issue of Ukraine’s borders with the respective countries.

PROMISED TO DEVELOP A “PEACE ESTABLISHMENT PLAN” BY THE END OF NOVEMBER

Kyiv-based political scientist Andrei ZOLOTARYOV believes that Zelensky is “preparing to sell the truce to the Ukrainians as a victory.”

Washington Post: Armed forces of Ukraine exhausted, a critical situation is emerging for the Ukrainian army on the front with elements of “serious chaos”.”

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

“The US allowed the use of nuclear weapons because of Ukraine The United States may use nuclear weapons because of the desperate situation in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works. “The situation in Ukraine now is that the Russians have virtually defeated Ukraine, and so the United States has a choice between a humiliating defeat and perhaps dropping one of these low-yield nuclear weapons,” he said.“

If the USA uses nuclear weapons on Russian forces, it can kiss goodbye to the top 50 American cities, including Washington DC, New York, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston.

Don’t instigate nuclear war. It could put humanity back thousands of years.

[Lincoln’s Inn, under the Chapel]

London. Zoo.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

Jungle.

We know what needs to be done about this sort of thing, but are now “not allowed” to express it, in our wonderfully “liberal” “diverse” country…

Keir Starmer. Freemason. Puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.

“Difficult questions of our time”— “why [greedy freeloading bastard] Lammy took £100,000 from the Israel lobby“…

Ha.

Thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy as Foreign Secretary just confirms how deep in the mire the UK really is.

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is. In fact, the Jew Zelensky is presently ruling illegally, having decided to ignore the fact that his presidential term expired some time ago (and he now refuses to hold an election).

Talking point

“The world is not without kind people“ [Russian proverb]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13658549/pictured-family-killed-horror-crash-six-dead-west-yorkshire.html

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

[Incidentally, it occurs to me that the orphaned girl will probably, presumably, eventually, be the beneficiary of any car insurance payout as well].

“…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’. We are simply trapped.“

[from https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/anonymous-zoomer-i-was-indoctrinated].

Perfect recruits for a social-national upsurge in the near-future…

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

Exclusive: pro-Israel judge ‘no longer holds office’ after sanction for social media abuse

“It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

“Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

Late tweets

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

“I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.“

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

“Ukraine will not be able to win the conflict with Russia…Ukraine will not defeat Russia, and Poland will not be able to resist Russian forces in the event of a conflict. I doubt that NATO will come to the aid of its allies ,” believes Leon Komornicki, former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces.“

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/18/keir-starmer-says-he-is-open-to-processing-asylum-seekers-offshore

“Keir Starmer is looking into plans to process asylum seekers outside the UK as part of a rethink of the government’s immigration policies, even as a returns agreement with the EU appears more distant than ever.

The prime minister said on Thursday he was open to the idea of Britain processing claims offshore, after a day spent discussing illegal migration with fellow European leaders at Blenheim Palace. Those talks, as part of the European Political Community summit, included a meeting with Edi Rama, the Albanian prime minister, whose country processes asylum claims on behalf of Italy.

But he said a deal to return refused asylum seekers to the EU was low on his list of priorities, as the French president, Emmanuel Macron, warned his country was not willing to shoulder the additional burden.

“But look, I’m a practical person. I’m a pragmatist. And I’ve always said we’ll look at what works and where cases can be processed closer to origin, then that is something which of course ought to be looked at.”

[The Guardian]

As I have been predicting for many months on the blog, Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” migration invasion, meaning get it off the TV news agenda, by simply “processing” the applications of the invaders long before they reach the UK, whether that be in France, in Albania, in Italy, or even in Africa.

“Processing” will mean, in this context, rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications. Probably more, looking at how about 80% of the applications of the present wave of invaders are eventually approved once they land in the UK (and the rest not deported anyway).

What about those, the small minority no doubt, who apply for asylum in those extra-territorial processing centres or offices but are refused? Is Starmer pretending that they will be content to stay in, or return to, their native countries? Of course they will not. They will simply make their way to the English Channel and then try to cross it.

I wonder “what element” is behind that agenda…

If you import populations from the more backward parts of the world, in sufficient quantity, your own society becomes backward and/or degenerate.

Why are they even here?

Please refer to the last few comments.

That made me laugh, which is something…I mean both the comment by tweeter “@TexanGhost” and Dawn Butler’s brainless tweet.

Only one thing can save Western culture and civilization, and the root-stock on which they both depend— social nationalism, and a consequent “revaluation of all values”.

Personal memory

Happened to see the above photo of the Thames just below Benson Lock, Oxfordshire. My mind at once returned to the summer of 1971, when I was there, aged 14, rowing my inflatable yellow neoprene boat downstream.

53 years ago. Over half a century. Does not seem possible, in a sense.

At least that little corner of England has not yet been trashed, or built upon.

“The Great Reset”…

Elon Musk has evidently had a very different experience of living in the USA than I ever did…

Mirabile dictu! Former-MP and Israel-puppet Largan has said something with which I can agree.

I have noted in the past on the blog the inadequacy of so many post-1945 public buildings in the UK, for example the court buildings in both London and the provinces. Some are OK, or even impressive, but more are not. Compare them to most of the American court buildings, such as the Federal court building in Trenton, New Jersey, where I was, several times, over 30 years ago:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkson_S._Fisher_Federal_Building_and_United_States_Courthouse Trenton, New Jersey; the sentry box is, I think, since 1992 when I was last there; presumably an example of the increase in “security” in the USA since those relatively innocent days]

Not the world’s most beautiful building, but very solid and impressive (and the interior is, in my view, even more impressive).

Ah…. just saw (for the first time), the New Jersey (i.e. State, not Federal) justice building, also in Trenton:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Hughes_Justice_Complex]

So ugly, one is prompted to speculate, “Britischer Architekt?” Still, quite large and impressive at least.

I see that that 1980s building is named after a former Governor of the state, who was also at one time Chief Justice of New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Hughes_Justice_Complex#Dedication. I was very slightly acquainted with one of his sons, who himself became a Federal magistrate in 1991, a year or two after I was introduced to him; I met him again, en passant, a few times, in the years 1989-1991: https://www.pli.edu/faculty/hon.-john-j.-hughes-i1305491. He was all right, but not the most social person in the world, to be frank. Not sure that I would have liked to have been a defendant in his court…

Well, amazing. A second tweet of Largan that I like. Two in one day. Amazing.

If those poetic lines are original, from Largan himself, then he has a poetic sophistication, though not unflawed, at which I should not have guessed, to be frank.

Even if that were not so, the ban is obviously the right thing to do, whatever the collateral damage.

Defund Zelensky and his cabal. The war will then continue for only a few weeks in most areas.

This country is so screwed it is actually almost unbelievable. Not only because of migration invasion, but that, together with a “multicultural” population, is the cause of much of the overall problem.

There is no “Ukraine” as such now, just the Kiev regime, which can either be regarded as a “failed state” or a non-state.

“A single mother-of-two, who framed an innocent woman when she drove a pick-up truck and towed a trailer illegally, has dodged jail after revealing her personal woes.

Juliann Quilligan, 27, from Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire falsely told police her name was Rebecca Williams when she was pulled over for illegally towing a trailer on the M62.

The mother was driving her Mitsubishi L200 without being insured and kept quiet as police added eight points to the unaware woman’s licence. 

She argued that she became ‘panicked’ and ‘frightened’ when dealing with police due to mental health issues exacerbated by her estrangement from the travelling community which she fled in 2019 so her children could go to school. 

The victim – Miss Williams – only discovered she had been wrongly convicted in her absence when she attempted to renew the insurance policy on her own car.“

Egregious. Also, leaving aside the sheer injustice of it all, note the absence of proper journalism and sub-editing of that report. “Skelmersdale, Lincolnshire“, writes the Daily Mail scribbler, one Shannon McGuigan, when surely a “journalist” should know that Skelmersdale is in Lancashire…

Again, the Daily Mail report is really quite poorly-written, something which is now almost the norm in most newspapers.

Proper journalism is another thing that has just faded away and died in the UK.

Speaking of brainless “journalism”…(see below)

Of course, the migration invasion is not being allowed to happen by accident:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; see also https://www.ilpost.it/2018/01/16/piano-kalergi/.

The backlash from the people has grown, in the UK, in Ireland, and also across mainland Europe. In the UK, it drove the upsurge of voters for the actually rather mild Reform UK at the General Election of 2024 (over 4 million voters voted Reform UK. The Conservative Party only had about 6 million voters, and victorious Labour about 9 million).

The Conservative Party was dumped mainly because of both the invasion itself and also its down-the-line consequences, though sheer incompetence generally was also a major factor.

Trump

Trump looking presidential, in a way that he rarely did even when he was President before.

If he can survive the campaign and get re-elected, his personal history, and his personal flaws, can take a back seat. He can stop funding Zelensky and the whole Kiev regime. That can be his first task.

Trump may be in a position, if or when re-elected, to call a halt to the rush to world war. That is the issue of primary importance.

Since 1964, archaeologists have found 15 different tablets with strange carvings at the site of an ancient settlement in Jordan.

Thanks to new analysis, archaeologists have found that they were likely made by the Canaanites, an indigenous group who thrived in the Middle East until the second half of the 13th century BC.

“Federal Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump in a bombshell ruling less than 48 hours after the former president was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump was accused of taking highly sensitive national security documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House, and FBI agents seized a trove of material during a search of his Florida home in August 2022.

Judge Cannon threw the case out based on ‘violations’ of the Constitution’s Appointments and Appropriations clauses.

In her ruling, she found that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.

The decision has an enormous impact on Trump’s legal battles, and he now faces just two criminal trials in Georgia and the federal court in Washington D.C. 

A year ago, Trump’s classified documents case appeared to be his most serious legal threat: perhaps easier to prove than Trump’s January 6 case, which relied on public statements, tweets and complex schemes involving electors around the country to charge a complex conspiracy to overturn the election.“

Everything’s going Trump’s way, it seems…

“Fuck it. I’m just gonna come out and say it. After a lot of thought, I am now 100% behind Donald Trump for President. Let me explain my reasoning…

Trump fell short in many ways in his first term. He was weaker than he should have been on the border. He appointed people to his cabinet that frankly stained his image and sunk his reputation. He let us down with the vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. But it’s about more than Donald Trump. It’s always been about more than Trump.

He has awakened the sleeping giant in America and across the world. People have hit breaking point. And they are sick to the back teeth of the status quo. For all my reservations, I do believe at heart his intentions are mostly good. Compare and contrast him to a demented old man who doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast.

What happened on Saturday night pushed me over the edge. They have tried everything to stop this man. Impeachment, election rigging, lawfare and now an attempted assassination in broad daylight. It’s not about trying to stop Trump. It’s about trying to stop a populist uprising.

In these times we can’t be picky. Trump isn’t going to fix all our problems. Trump isn’t going to save the world. We are living through a time of pure evil, the likes of which only God can protect us from. But we have to rebuild, we have to reorganise. We all have differences of opinion on various issues but ultimately we all see the evil in this world and we all want to make a change. And I believe the best start to that work is to get behind Donald Trump and use our influence to push for the change we want to see.”

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The “Great Replacement”…

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints]

…and virtually all the children now being born in the UK, and particularly in England, are non-white (including mixed-race). Demographic disaster.

Let’s bin all “diversity hires”, starting with David Lammy, presently and ludicrously posing as Foreign Secretary.

Ha ha…yes, but the joke is on us…

The System promotes idiots like that, making sure that they can wave a few bits of paper (tick-box degrees, diplomas etc) if challenged, as a way of accelerating the destruction of European civilization.

Even the System msm cannot ignore the migration invasion completely, because the public has started to awaken and, indeed, become fearful of what is happening, and what might and probably will happen not so far down the road.

The Twitter-twits, and the System politicians, have been laughing at the Reform UK result at GE 2024 (“only 5 MPs” etc), but the underlying reality is that, out of nearly 29M actual votes, Reform UK got over 4.1M, the Conservative Party only 6.8M, and victorious Labour 9.8M.

Labour received under 10M votes, and has 411 MPs, despite only getting about (indeed, less than) two-and-a-half times the number of votes cast for Reform UK, fobbed off with merely 5 MPs.

As noted in previous blog posts, for every 20 people who were eligible to vote at GE 2024, a plurality, 8 people, did not bother to vote, probably because they were disenchanted with the whole set-up.

Out of that group of 20 people, only 4 actually voted Labour.

Another 3 out of the 20 voted Conservative; 2 voted Reform UK. 2 also voted LibDem (which however received only 3.5M votes as against Reform’s 4.1M). (Almost) 1 notional voter out of the 20 voted Green, which party received 1.8M votes.

The point is that Reform UK is, at least in part, “controlled opposition” but, notwithstanding that, over 4 million people decided to register their anger by voting for it. Another 19.6 million did not vote.

It is possible that, were a credible social-national movement to exist, a substantial part of the 19.6M non-voting bloc, as well as a large part of Reform UK’s 4.1M bloc, might vote for, or otherwise support it.

Remember, out of every 20 adult people in the UK, only 4 voted for Starmer-Labour.

Starmer-Labour has no real mandate from the people.

Europe can only be saved when its peoples, including the British, rise up against the tidal wave of migration invasion.

Starmer-Labour carrying on from where the Sunak misgovernment tailed off. The System is evil.

All you really need to know about the real view taken by both Starmer-Labour and the now-binned Sunak misgovernment is that virtually all government ministers (of either main System party) were and are signed up, in reality, to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Mass immigration into Europe, with the aim of destroying European culture and civilization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Happened to see part of one of those fly-on-the-wall cop shows, called Police Interceptors. The bit I saw concerned a raid on a house where a man was thought to be trading in drugs.

The police arrived in force, were ready to bust open the front door but found it unlocked, so went in and took control of the property. The man named on the warrant was not at home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever was, along with her small and terrified children.

In the kitchen, the police found large bags stuffed with herbal cannabis, apparently harvested from the marijuana farm in the attic, which the police also found. They also found little plastic bags used for retail sales of the drug.

The woman was arrested only because the wanted man refused to give himself up, but was in touch with the woman by telephone, under police guard, and was apparently nearby. He gave himself up a few days later.

What interested me was that I should have thought that there was ample evidence to prosecute them both for “possession with intent to supply”, but in the end the woman was released (I was distracted so missed the exact outcome, I think an official caution), and her husband/boyfriend/co-habitee was apparently not charged with anything!

A big raid, the police all dressed up in the paramilitary style to which they have become accustomed, warrants obtained, searches made, drugs found, arrests made and, in the end…nothing.

The police and CPS need to start dealing with (real) crime, rather than snooping on tweets and blog posts and generally behaving like a poundland Stasi.

This country is now pretty close to running on empty.

Back in the mid-1980s, I sometimes enjoyed Spitting Image [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image]. The sort of real cutting satire that would simply not be allowed today, much of it. In any case, with the sort of events we now see (eg Biden’s funny but also sad descent into the fog), any similar show today would have to fight hard to compete with what is actually happening in front of our eyes.

True, Reagan was not the most-obviously intelligent world leader, but the satirical treatment of him was deliberately “over the top”; whatever his flaws, he was not in the grip of a dementia-related condition plainly visible whenever he spoke in public.

I have not seen the more recently remade Spitting Image but I doubt that it pokes fun at the kind of non-political targets the 1980s original did, e.g. black “rap” performers. I admit that I am guessing, though. The remake is not broadcast on mainstream TV.

The regime of that evil little bastard has only one main chance— to drag NATO into the war. That might mean a slide into a nuclear confrontation before very long.

If the Kiev regime starts to attack Russian cities far from the front line, the response might be that Ukrainian cities in the western part of Ukraine, west of the Dnieper, might be attacked and even destroyed.

So far, Russia has not launched all-out attack on Kiev, partly because of its role in Russian history, but if major Russian cities start to be bombarded, that may change.

I predicted, a couple of years ago, on the blog, that Russia would start to degrade the electrical production and distribution network across Ukraine. That is now being intensified, and is a far more intelligent way of waging war than the more brutal and harsh —and less effective— choice of attacking directly the homes and neighbourhoods of the Ukrainian civilians.

If the Kiev regime starts to badly damage Russian cities away from the front line —especially Moscow, Petersburg and surrounding territories— the Russian response could be devastating enough to bring NATO into the war on some pretext such as Poland suffering damage. Were that to happen, all of us would be but a step away from a Russia-NATO war, which is being pushed by secret circles within the West. Such a war, which would quite likely go nuclear within weeks, would change Europe and the world forever.

Incredible, when you think of the historical hardships of the Irish people. Now, unwanted non-European migrant-invaders demand this, that, and the other…

Forget the “Conservative” Party. Social nationalism can provide the right policies and administration.

Another example of the undemocratic and quasi-dictatorial nature of the Starmer-Labour government. 411 MPs from whom to choose, yet Starmer is appointing ministers at will from outside the Commons, elevating them to the Lords first.

Sophie Corcoran fails to point out that her comment might also apply, absolutely exactly, to the past 14 years of Conservative Party government.

Reform UK, GE 2024, and the Twitter twits

I was just looking at Twitter/X, which is alive today with Twitter-twits attacking Reform UK and, particularly, belittling Reform for, as it were, pretending to be a serious political party when it “only” has 5 MPs.

As recently as June 2024, the LibDems only had 11 MPs, and had only 8 from 2015 until 2017.

The forerunner of the LibDems, the old Liberal Party, at one time the party of government with hundreds of MPs, fell to having only 6 MPs during the 1950s and again in the early 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Electoral_performance.

As for the SNP, from its foundation in the early 1930s and until 1970, about 37 years (!), the SNP had no MPs at all; in 1970, the SNP managed to have elected 1 MP. The MP-cadre of the SNP then varied from 2 to (1974 to 1979) 11 MPs in the years 1974 to 2015, but mostly stuck at 2 or 3 MPs until 1997, when the SNP bloc increased its numbers, this time to 6 MPs. When the FPTP tipping-point was reached in 2015, the SNP mushroomed from 6 MPs to 56 (out of 59 Scottish MPs) overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.

Apart from those comparisons, the Twitter-twits might like to consider what this blog has been saying for the past week, as have some others (though not enough) even in the msm: Labour did not win by some kind of popular “landslide”, but only in terms of seats conferred by a totally unfit-for-purpose electoral system.

As noted on the blog in past days, at GE 2024 the Conservative Party only got (just over) 1.5x the number/percentage of votes of Reform UK, and even Labour only got (below) 2.5x the Reform UK vote-share.

As put on the blog the other day, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 12 even voted.

In very rough terms, out of that eligible 20 voters, 8 voters abstained, 4 voters voted Lab, 3 voters voted Con, 2 voters voted Reform, 2 voters voted LibDem, and 1 voter voted Green.

Not exactly, and “other parties were available”, but 90.29% of UK voters voted for one of those 5 parties. In England specifically, about 97% of voters voted Lab, Con, Reform, LibDem or Green.

The Twitter-Twits tweeting about Reform UK are mostly Labour supporters who belittle Reform because only 2 out of every 12 voters who voted voted for it, yet only 4 out of 12 (4 out of 20 if you count the abstainers) voted Labour.

I happened to notice one particular Twitter/X account, one “@RobBaron10”, who today (as of 1430) has already managed to put out about 29 Twitter/X “replies”, almost all angrily insulting, and all or almost all completely brainless. I have to say that I am loath to give much credence to someone whose Twitter/X profile says “Retired lecturer in philosophy trying to live a low-impact lifestyle. Despises the far-right and social injustice. Responds in the tone responded to.” Especially when said “retired lecturer in philosophy” thinks that “toe the line” is spelled “tow the line“…

Indeed, looking at the tweets copied below, it may be that “RobBaron10” deserves a place in my updated essay on the links between “antifascists” and/or Zionists, and mental illness: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/

More seriously, if Starmer-Labour MPs and supporters think that the absurd result of GE 2024 gives Starmer the right to impose a “woke”, and also Israel-lobby, tyranny on the people of the UK, he and they are very much mistaken.

Remember those figures— only 4 out of 12 who voted (<34%) voted Labour; only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters (~20%) voted Labour.

“American citizens stand with Russia, not Ukraine. Russia is an orthodox Christian nation, a sovereign nation, doesn’t pander to illegals aliens, was lied to by Ukraine, the U.S and NATO and had forces put on their border, a violation of previous promises made. Ukraine is in bed with the illegal covert bio weapons laboratory facility’s doing gain of function. Ukraine is the most corruption country in Europe, a money laundering hub, a child trafficking hub and a live organ black market dealing hub. Fuck Ukraine and punk ass Zelensky!“

At present, the forecast for Winchester on St. Swithun’s Day (next Monday) is…wet.

Enemies of the British people.

What an incredible waste of the British people’s tax monies, thrown at the brutal and shambolic regime of the Jewish dictator Zelensky. Meanwhile Britain’s public services are collapsing.

Fake Labour is already a failure as a government.

“Ultimately, this means that defending our truth-based order, free speech and national identity is considered undignified while sacrificing these values in the name of ‘equal outcomes’ and ‘emotional safety’ is not.

Of course, Labour is also proposing innocent-sounding legislation on hate speech and racial equality which will further supercharge this woke cultural socialism, shutting down offensive speech while pressuring organizations to discriminate against whites and males to achieve equal outcomes for identity groups.

Will Britain wake up in time to prevent…erosion of our long traditions of free speech, free expression, objective truth, equal treatment and due process? Will future generations be taught to hate the British past and the white men who played an outsized role in creating our national community?

At best, I think we have one or two decades to reverse the march of wokeism before today’s Zoomers and Millennials, who prioritise ‘emotional safety’ over free speech, become the median voter and the country reaches a point of no return.”

[from a guest essay, published on Matt Goodwin’s blog].

There are of course other ways to resist tyranny than via the so-called “Parliamentary road”.

It will be recalled by older British readers that, in the Dikko case of 1984, an Israeli Jew doctor was directly involved in the MOSSAD operation to kidnap a former Nigerian government minister:

“The Dikko affair was a joint Nigerian–Israeli attempt to kidnap Umaru Dikko, a former Nigerian government minister living in the United Kingdom, in 1984, and secretly transport him back to Nigeria in a diplomatic bag. The kidnapping took place, but the transportation thereof was unsuccessful.

Mossad sources across Europe failed to locate Dikko. However, Mossad Director-General Nahum Admoni decided that Dikko was probably in London, which had become a haven for Nigerian exiles critical of the new regime.

Mossad field officers (katsas), accompanied by Nigerian security service agents led by ex-Nigerian Army Major Mohammed Yusufu, traveled to London. The Nigerian team rented an apartment on Cromwell Road and posed as refugees from the new regime. The Mossad agents rented rooms in hotels catering to tourists from Africa, and posed as anti-apartheid activists.

Working separately, the two teams moved among the Nigerian expat community in London, gradually narrowing their search to West London, to the area around Hyde Park, where many wealthy Nigerian exiles lived. They combed the electoral registers freely available in the area’s town halls, but found no trace of Dikko.

On 30 June 1984, a Mossad agent driving down Queensway, in Bayswater, spotted Dikko. He parked his car and then tailed Dikko on foot to his house in Porchester Terrace. Admoni was immediately informed, and ordered surveillance on the house. From then on, the house was constantly watched, while the Nigerians, using their London high commission as a base, prepared a kidnapping operation.

Meanwhile, Mossad recruited Levi-Arie Shapiro, an Israeli doctor who was a consultant anesthetist and director of the intensive care unit at HaSharon Hospital. He was to fly to London and participate in the operation. Shapiro’s job would be to drug Dikko, and insert an endotracheal tube to keep him from choking on his own vomit while being transported in a crate.”
