So there it is. The “party formerly known as Conservative” now has a Nigerian woman, married to a banker, as its anointed leader. What a farce.
That contest was between a black (Nigerian) woman, a woman who is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, on the one side, and a rather unpleasant and corrupt person, member of Conservative Friends of Israel, and married to an American Jewish woman, on the other.
Who really won that contest? Think about it.
Kemi Badenoch is even less (even notionally) “British” than is the egregious “Boris”-idiot. She was born in London, taken within days back to Nigeria, then brought up there and in the USA before returning to the UK at the age of 16.
Has Britain finally gone mad? The Con Party certainly has. “Goodnight Vienna” to it.
Rachel Reeves
“Revealed: Rachel Reeves’s £74k rental income.
Rachel Reeves and her husband are making £74,000 a year in rental income alone, The Telegraph understands.
The Chancellor, who this week hit second home buyers and landlords with a surge in stamp duty costs, is thought to be receiving rent from two properties that adds up to more than £6,000 a month.
It comes after Ms Reeves delivered her first Budget on Wednesday, in which she condemned millions of workers to be poorer by raising National Insurance for their employers.
Landlords and second home owners reacted angrily to Ms Reeves’s maiden Budget, claiming she had put the “final nail in the coffin” for the struggling buy-to-let sector.
The Chancellor, who now lives in Downing Street with her family, lets her former family home – a four-bedroom property in south London – for around £3,200 a month.
While her husband Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, is believed to have let his central London two-bed flat since 2011. It now has a market rental value of nearly £3,000 a month, according to property website Bricks&Logic.
It means the pair, who both have six-figure salaries, make more than four times the average landlord income of £16,500. Their rental income is also twice the average salary of nearly £37,000.
Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty said: “Having just announced a deeply unpopular Budget that has caused mortgages to rise, how does the Chancellor justify the £74,000 rental income of her and her husband’s London properties whilst living rent-free in Downing Street as their mortgages are paid for? It’s no wonder she abstained from the most recent vote on the Renters’ Rights Bill.
Ms Reeves earns around £160,000 for her roles as Chancellor and an MP. It means her household income, combined with her husband’s salary of up to £174,999, is more than £400,000.
Earlier this year, as shadow chancellor, Ms Reeves told GB News that checking her bank statement made her “wince” after she found “the money coming in” was “increasingly short of the money going out”.
The Chancellor bought her family home in 2012 with her husband for £599,950. The two co-own the property, according to the Land Registry. The couple’s detached property – which was bought with a mortgage – consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, according to Rightmove.
Since Ms Reeves bought it, property listing websites estimate it has gained around £349,000 in value – putting its value today at nearly £950,000.
Nine years ago, Ms Reeves had her parliamentary credit card suspended because she owed more than £4,000 in unauthorised payments. The bill was eventually recouped by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
Between 2014 and 2022, she also claimed £1,225 on the taxpayer to pay someone else to help file her tax return.“
[Daily Telegraph]
Rachel Reeves also has other investments. She is a Grade A moneygrasper; also a member of Labour Friends of Israel and a trustee of the Jew-Zionist Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
Rachel Reeves and her husband have a joint salary/investment income (including capital growth) of well over a half-million pounds a year, possibly even a million.

“Inefficient commanders and former ministers must be sent to the front line, and women must be mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army , said the head of the Air Reconnaissance Support Center of the Ukrainian Army Maria Berlinskaya. The mobilization of women is an unpopular but necessary decision, she pointed out and stressed that Ukraine “will have to give up” if the mobilization of women does not take place.”
The Kiev regime will have been toppled, or driven over, by this time next year.

“New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.
The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.
According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.”

Anyone who uses Lewis as a solicitor can expect double-dealing, incompetence, negligence, and dishonesty.
Mark Lewis is a man of straw. When the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and reprimanded him in 2018 (after which he scuttled to Israel, though he keeps returning here to make money, despite the “antisemitism” by which he claims to have been targeted), the Tribunal lowered the level of his fine because, as his own Counsel said to the Tribunal panel, Lewis owned only his own clothes, a £70 a week private pension, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was not his own, but provided to Lewis by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the DWP-funded Motability scheme [https://www.motability.co.uk/].

As a former barrister (unlawfully and wrongfully disbarred in 2016 at the instigation of the Jewish lobby), I can see that what is happening is that many people involved (often only peripherally or online) with the protests and so-called “riots” of 2-3 months ago are now sentenced to terms of imprisonment (often years rather than months) for having done not very much; in some cases, almost nothing.
I am presuming that most of those sentenced will have had the benefit of legal advice from solicitors and Counsel.
The problem lies in the narrow legal view taken by many lawyers. I suspect that many of the lawyers involved looked at the political climate (eg the intervention on TV by “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer in July or August), looked at the evidence, and then advised their clients to plead Guilty in order to mitigate the sentence.
All good advice, or would be in a “normal”, non-political, case.
The fact is that most of the sentences being given are absurdly harsh, even taking the charges at face value.
In my opinion, the defendants in most of the recent protest cases, at least the ones about which I have read, would have been no worse off, probably better off, had they pleaded Not Guilty.
I concede that one cannot these days rely on the good sense of the traditional British jury, because the brainwashing of the public continues apace, but still I believe that a jury trial would have given many of those charged a good chance of acquittal.
A gamble, true, to plead Not Guilty, but in these “political” cases not so much, because the “message” from on high seems to have come down, “lock them up“… I do not really believe that many of those defendants have been given a real diminution of sentence of a (or the, notional) third.
My own free speech trial in November 2023 (sentence, March 2024) was different, not having been connected to any violent or noisy protests, but it was still a “political” case (instigated by the malicious Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby).
I republish the details here below but, in short, I pleaded Not Guilty to all 5 similar charges, was found guilty (by a District Judge sitting alone) on all 5 counts, and was sentenced to a financial impost amounting to £734, and to a period of, in effect, probation, involving 15 “rehabilitation days”. In the event, the financial penalty was one-third crowdfunded for me (the rest paid off over the past 6 months in instalments), and the “15 days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings lasting from 20 minutes to a couple of hours.
All now water under the bridge, and the blog continues to be published daily, but would I really have got a lighter sentence had I pleaded Guilty? Frankly, I doubt it. For one thing, the malicious nature of the whole prosecution would not have been laid bare before the Court.

The Times is reporting tonight that Rachel Thieves is planing big tax rises and spending cuts totalling an eye-watering £40billion, a figure far higher than disclosed before. Nightmare on Skint Street starts on October 30.
Meanwhile, ever more migrant-invaders are being sheltered, fed, given medical and dental services (etc) and pocket money by the UK state (i.e. British taxpayers).
Meanwhile, billions of pounds are being spent on military aid to Israel, a state which hates, despises, and exploits us; millions more are wasted on “security” for the Jewish “community” in the UK, including tens of millions thrown to the Jewish “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], the strongarm and snoop organization founded by a Jewish exploiter and fraudster.
Meanwhile, billions of pounds each year have been wasted, continue to be wasted, and are now pledged by Starmer to continue into the future, sent to the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev.
"Starmer accused of weakening Britain by pushing for UN Security Council reform
"Prime Minister looks to double the number of permanent members with representatives from Africa, Brazil and India"https://t.co/LHnY8YevrQ
The whole idea of the UN Security Council is that it consists only of the largest and most significant states which have real military power; states which are large geopolitical players and which, in practice, are also nuclear powers: USA, UK, France, Russia, China. All hold the power of veto.
As usual, Starmer tries to play the statesman, rather than the grubby little careerist bureaucrat that he is. He is entirely unconvincing. There he goes, interfering in completely irrelevant and pointless matters overseas, when his own country is close to crisis.
For Starmer, the one-time criminal lawyer, what matters is fiddling around with rules and regulations, rather than trying to achieve concrete socio-political results in the real world.
The entire country, pretty much, has already come to the conclusion that Starmer is in the wrong job.
In any case, how does Starmer intend to “push for” reform of the UN Security Council when all 5 permanent members have a veto, and when, even if that could be overcome somehow, the Security Council would become a dead letter, were the USA to withdraw completely? In fact, in that circumstance, the UN itself would become a dead letter, and might as well just close down.
The military-destructive power of the USA is such that, without American agreement, most Security Council resolutions would be otiose, as would be, a fortiori, any resolutions actively opposed by the USA.
Starmer is a total waste of space.

“Detectives investigating an assault on a pensioner who was shoved over in a row in a west London bus queue have released a picture of a man they want to trace.
The victim, 85, was attempting to board a 220 bus at Hammersmith station when he was verbally abused before being pushed over and suffering a broken hip.
Police believe the incident at 1pm on July 2 was triggered by the pensioner insisting that women and children board the bus first which his attacker believed was holding others up.“
The train – the first of 94 new trains bought as part of a £2.9bn upgrade of one of the London Underground’s busiest lines – was being transported from the Siemens factory in Vienna when it was targeted.
The incident is understood to have happened early on Monday morning while the train was near Latchmere rail junction, near Clapham.”

The US demands that Kiev conscript Ukrainians from the age of 18, the adviser to the head of Zelensky's office, Serhiy Leshchenko. According to him, the US is pressuring the Kiev leadership with arguments that the Vietnam War conscripted people from the age of 19.
Yes, that is one extraordinary aspect of the whole mess. The Kiev regime is presently conscripting only those aged 27+ (in theory, younger men —and women— can volunteer, though few now do). The result is that the Kiev-regime forces are full of the middle-aged, while those approaching the age of 27 desperately try to flee the country, or hide inside Ukraine, or buy fake exemption papers, or bribe doctors etc.
I can only assume that the Zelensky cabal has decided that the under-27s have to be exempted on the grounds that the Ukrainians are actually dying out, and more babies have to be born. Demographically, Ukraine has no future, even when compared to Russia, or to the countries of Central and Western Europe.
Having said that, it seems that younger men are being press-ganged, illegally. Zelensky’s “Ukraine” is both brutal and shambolic.

The present UK Government is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, incapable of ruling properly or usefully, and also a mouthpiece for Israel and Jew-Zionism in general.
His face is contorted with terror. ‘Get away from me,’ he begs, as three policemen drag him, shaking, towards a military recruitment desk.
Moments earlier he had been dancing to the music of one of Ukraine‘s favourite rock bands, Okean Elzy.
But now his worst nightmares are being realised. He has been caught in a round-up by one of Kyiv‘s feared military ‘press gangs’ and is almost certainly on his way to the bloody frontlines.
From the look in his eyes, it is as if he has been handed a death sentence. The moment of his arrest was captured on video by horrified onlookers who have spread the chilling footage of his abduction around the world.
But this terrified concert-goer is just one of thousands of Ukrainian men who have been evading their duty by illegally dodging the draft.
More than two and a half years since the conflict began, with the army’s death toll rising by the day, Ukraine is intensifying its efforts to crack down on conscription evaders.
Locals claim these now-viral videos of men being snatched from nightclubs and concert halls in the country’s capital are just the tip of the iceberg.
All around the nation, gyms, restaurants and bars have been the sites of targeted military raids in recent days in a desperate bid to replenish Ukraine’s frontline forces.
But the sight of young men being dragged off the streets and sent to the Eastern front provokes mixed reactions.
And the online videos compound the anxieties of men who have so far evaded the press gangs. One 42-year-old insists he does not want to ‘die for the patriotic propaganda of any country’.
He fears he will be killed or maimed if conscripted.
‘The videos of press gangs kidnapping men are signs of injustice and lawlessness, especially when it is done by people wearing masks,’ he says.
‘As a taxpayer, I have done enough for my country. I don’t believe I should have to fight.’“

The fact is that the Kiev-regime front lines are crumbling. No amount of Western arms, ammunition, or money (going into the offshore accounts of the members of the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) will save the Kiev government regime, or Zelensky himself. It is doomed.
Part of the reason why the Kiev regime is doomed is because few now want to fight for it. The pathetic would-be-Rambo ex-private soldiers from the UK and USA etc have either been killed or captured, or have finished their agreed tours of duty and gone back home. No more Western mugs are volunteering. As for Ukrainians, they have either fled beyond the borders, or (as Sabrina Miller’s report says) are in hiding.
This whole “Ukraine” episode now needs to be brought to a close. Russian forces will begin a general advance in 2025, and may even take Kiev, leaving a rump Ukraine in the western part of the country, based on Lvov. I think that Russia will be satisfied with that.
Russia is many times the size of Ukraine, has several times the population; Russia, unlike Kiev-regime Ukraine, has a thriving economy, has a valuable currency, and is without dependence on foreign “aid” (or control).
Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Quite the chart. This is progressive illiberalism in action.
Britain abolished slavery almost 200 years ago. It is completely ridiculous to expect today's taxpayers to pay reparations. If Labour goes down this route, all the while claiming they can't afford winter fuel allowance, they will be absolutely hammered
No-one who has visited any country notionally “run” by blacks thinks that their situation can be improved merely by giving them more money.
As for Labour being “hammered“, well and good, so long as the result is not another “Conservative” misgovernment in the (up to now) Tweedledum/Tweedledee political system.

That is their “Knesset” (Parliament). A kind of Oriental bazaar.
That brings to mind a rather odd story once heard.
I was told, long ago (1980s), and by a mutual friend, that Prince Michael Gruzinski, the one-time Pretender to the Throne of Georgia, had told King Hussein of Jordan, at a London diplomatic reception in the 1970s, that he had a plan to “gas the Knesset”. Apparently, King Hussein was not very amused and politely disengaged from the conversation.
Gruzinski was an odd fellow, whom many regarded as a fake, partly because of his name (Slavonic rather than Georgian— “gruzinsky” means “Georgian” in the Russian language), but I believe that there were valid 18th/19th Century historical reasons for that, and that he was genuinely the Pretender to that now non-existent throne, for whatever that might be worth.
I do not recall having met Gruzinski, though I was told that I had, once or twice, and that he remembered meeting me (maybe in 1976 or 1977). I know little of his life, except that he had been awarded (I was told) a First from Oxford, in the days when that meant something, and that he had cut off the tip of another student’s finger while fighting a duel with real swords (not the usual sport versions). Apparently he was “rusticated” (suspended) from the University for that, though that was just what I was told. I myself have no personal knowledge of any of it.
I suppose that Gruzinski must have been about 40 in the mid-1970s, and so would have been at Oxford in the 1950s or early 1960s.
According to my source, he then more or less refused to take ordinary salaried work, and “signed on the dole”. He was eventually summoned to a bureaucratic troika of what I suppose was then called the DHSS. In those days, social security could not just be cut off at the arbitrary whim of some DHSS/DWP dogsbody as happens today.
It seems that some woman on the panel said to Gruzinsky, “are you not ashamed that, with all your educational and other advantages, you are living off the State?“, to which he is said to have replied, “no, not at all. My family have been living off the State for hundreds of years“.
Anyway, whatever the truth of Gruzinsky’s claim to the Georgian throne, he was invited, I heard, to many diplomatic receptions, including some at the Soviet Embassy.
Gruzinsky apparently worked freelance in the field of finance. When he made his startling claim to King Hussein, he had some financial deal going with “the Saudis” (I was also told), and that deal would have been worth (if I remember correctly), some £10M for him personally. You could probably say that would be about £100M in the money of 2024. That was the money that would bankroll his mad (?) “gas the Knesset” plan, if it ever existed. I have no idea. It does sound doubtful, but then so do many things in this world, things that sometimes turn out to be true.
In the end, Gruzinsky died in a fire at the small hotel in South Kensington in which he lived. Not sure what year; maybe 1977 or 1978. It seems that he had returned to his room to retrieve papers connected with that financial deal, but was confronted by fierce flames. He then tried to escape out of a window, fell, and was impaled on railings.
I vaguely recall seeing a local TV news report about that fire. Maybe 1977. Not sure.
Whether the fire was accidental and so co-incidental, or whether MOSSAD (or whatever) had deliberately caused it in order to eliminate Gruzinsky (I doubt it— how could his demise be guaranteed? The “Princess Diana car crash plot” conundrum…), is anyone’s guess.
All a long time ago now. Nearly half a century.

I was just thinking, admittedly not in a very original way, about how time flies. It is now nearly a year, about 11 months, since my day of trial on free speech issues (in November 2023), and it is already 7 months even since I was sentenced (mid-March 2024).
All water under the bridge. My pointless “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings lasting from half an hour each to a couple of hours or so, and the meetings have now been deemed completed; as to the (rather unfair) financial impost of £734, that was one-third crowdfunded, and the rest paid off in monthly instalments. All done. All finished.

BREAKING :
Israel is dropping bombs on tents full of civilians outside of Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza right now, burning entire Palestinian families alive while they are sleeping.

After that real “holocaust” in Gaza, the peoples of the world no longer want to listen to the contrived “holocaust” narrative of the Jew-Zionists, constantly trotted out by them (and their Western dupes and agents) to excuse their usually-terrible behaviour.
“I am personally proud of the holocaust of Gaza, and that 80 years from now, they will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did,”
No response from the UK’s “Labour Friends of Israel” misgovernment (Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc).
We both know that the Israel-NATO side has vastly greater destructive capability. The casualty numbers this year make it clear. It's genocide not war. . The difference is in the battleground. For the Arabs it's home. For most of the Israelis it's a vacation/retirement/2nd home.

“A historic ocean liner which regularly docked in Southampton will soon be sunk and turned in the world’s largest coral reef.
For 17 years the SS United States powered through the Atlantic waves making constant journeys between New York and Southampton.
When the ship first came to the city in 1952, she drew in crowds of almost 70,000 as it was the fastest in the world at the time.
Now, after a years-long legal debate over its future, the iconic ocean liner is set to make its final voyage.
SS United States will be submerged off the Florida coast where it is expected to create the world’s largest artificial coral reef.“

[painting of SS United States undergoing sea trials in 1951 or 1952; more or less as I recall the ship from the mid-1960s]
I have actually been on the SS United States, though not as a passenger.
In the mid-1960s, my parents were friendly with an American family who lived not far down the same road in Caversham Heights (near Reading). They had two children, a boy about the same age as me (about 8), whose name I do not remember, and a pretty dark-haired girl, maybe the same age, called Carla (I had never heard the name Carla before). I went to their house a couple of times for birthday parties.
Americans were rather an exotic species in the England of the early/mid 1960s, and seen mainly on TV, though my parents had known a number when they lived for a year, a few years before I was born, near the Greenham Common air base near Newbury. Not very many Brits travelled to the USA as tourists in those days, either.
I cannot see any other reason why an American diplomat or other embassy employee would be living in, indeed beyond, Reading, 40 miles west of London. As to why they lived in that specific neighbourhood, I think that is easier to answer. It was (and still is) the best neighbourhood in the Reading area.
The father of that family must have been quite high-ranking. When my family went to wave them goodbye at Southampton (maybe 1965), we were allowed aboard the United States, and they had a suite in First Class (I now see, having read Wikipedia, that the liner had three classes of travel).
I still remember the main stateroom of their suite, the centre of the room taken up by a large circular polished wooden table, the centre of which had on it a huge bowl of flowers.
Nearly 60 years ago. I wonder where those Americans are now.
Incidentally, those artificial reefs created by sunken ships are a very good idea, begun many decades ago in the U.S., though more basic structures were known even in ancient times. It is a more complex operation than one would initially assume, though: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reef. It is not simply a matter of sinking a ship.

“Still no response from Mark Lewis, Patron Law or the Solicitors Regulation Authority about this.
Serious allegations have been made publicly about a solicitor that relate to the administration of justice. The allegations are met by a wall of silence from all concerned. Lewis himself seems unable to deny the allegations. What is going on? @MLewisLawyer @Patron_Law@sra_solicitors.”
I speculated months ago that the losing Jewish defendants in that case would probably end up suing Mark Lewis and/or Patron Law. Lewis is said to be a partner of Patron Law, yet himself has no assets in the England and Wales jurisdiction, so it may be that the losing defendants will have to sue both Lewis and Patron Law, but that Lewis will scuttle back to his flat in Eilat (Israel), leaving his co-partners at Patron Law to pick up the bill, assuming that they are found jointly and severally liable with Lewis.
I expect Lewis will get the push (not for the first time; other firms have sacked him in the past), at least from that small law firm, if not (also?) from the solicitors’ profession. After all, Lewis has been cheating and conning people for years, and also displaying both negligence and a serious deficit of ethics: see, e.g.
Antony Blinken and Amos Hochstein, both pro-Israel, appear to be running US policy toward Gaza and Lebanon. In this interview, Hochstein seems to let slip a plan to "select" a new pro-US President of Lebanon.

“This is how the power of Zionism operates. It penetrates institutions via personnel and finance, sure, but effects like this depend on its ideological power to convince and intimidate individuals in institutions. This has the result that they, (very possibly) quite independently, take on the role of punishing critics of the genocidal Zionist entity. This is why we don’t just need to collapse and remove the colony in Palestine, but also wage a generational war against the Zionist movement in the UK and in many other nations worldwide.”

"There was no pandemic."
Neil Oliver: "What we ended up with was a pandemic of testing, with the misapplication of PCR tests that were never designed, according to their designer, to be used as diagnostic tools."
Disturbed to see that the @NickGriffinBU Twitter/X account, while nominally still there, seems to have had all its tweets removed. I have no idea whether Twitter/X did it at the instigation of “the usual suspects”, or whether Griffin himself has done it. I also have no idea when it happened, having not looked at the account for weeks, if not months.
Whatever is said about Griffin, he was the most successful and high-profile social nationalist of the period 1990-2010. He managed to get himself elected as an MEP (along with Andrew Brons), and is still pretty much the only social nationalist whose name is known to most people in the UK.
I do not say that I have agreed with everything said or done by Griffin, and have never met or communicated with him (beyond having posted a few of his tweets on the blog; he also retweeted me a couple of times when —pre-2019— I still had a Twitter account); but I regard him as, at root, a good fellow, and staunch under State repression (as when he was prosecuted). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin.
Incidentally, I see that he is only 2.5 years younger than me; I had thought quite a few years younger, maybe 7-8, even 10 years, though for no particular reason. Never assume, I suppose.

A core of post-Aryan Europeans, whether 100 million or 1 million or (after societal catastrophe) even as few as 1,000, must exist, as the basis for an ethnostate which can, in time, provide the foundation (perhaps only in hundreds or even thousands of years) for what might be termed a “super-race”, i.e. a quantum leap in the evolution of consciousness, after which that race will have all the technical knowledge of our day —and more— but will also have powers of mind amounting to what we today would call “magical powers”.
“Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.
“Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.
Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.
The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.
The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.
Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.
Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.“

Iranian attack on Israel
Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.
I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.
Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.
Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.
Well, appoint members of the House of Lords from the bazaars of South Asia, from the slums of Jamaica and West Africa, and from the tribe of “the usual suspects”, and naturally the whole institution crumbles. Who would have guessed?…
NEW Overwhelming support for James Cleverly in 10 random interviews I’ve just done for @GBNEWS with members leaving the hall just now. Many have switched from other candidates. It seems Cleverly won the debate in the hall. Will MPs put him through to the final two next week?…

Having said that, the other three candidates are also bad jokes: a Nigerian woman married to a banker of uncertain provenance; a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”; a dishonest and corrupt moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. All three vocally pro-Israel.
At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.
I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.
For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.
At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.
None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

The David Morgan Twitter/X account is one of the most worthwhile of those dealing with certain problems head-on. Those with a Twitter/X account will find his material of interest should they follow it.
Morgan, however, must —and probably does— realize that many types of people suffered both before and during the Second World War (and in the mid/late 1940s, after it ended). In most cases, not at the hands of National Socialist Germany (contrary to that which “the usual suspects” tend to say).

“Keir Starmer has suffered a precipitous fall in his personal ratings since winning the election, according to a new poll for the Observer that comes before his first Labour conference as prime minister.
The latest Opinium poll reveals that Starmer’s approval rating has plunged below that of the Tory leader Rishi Sunak, suffering a huge 45-point drop since July. While 24% of voters approve of the job he is doing, 50% disapprove, giving him a net rating of -26%. Sunak’s net rating is one point better.
In a troubling assessment of the government’s opening months, only 27% think it has so far been a success, while 57% think it has not been successful. Even a third (32%) of those who voted for Labour at the last election believe the government has not been a success in its opening two months. Labour is seen as focusing too much on the government’s fiscal position when the public want them to focus on growing the economy.
James Crouch, head of policy and public affairs at Opinium said: “While the prime minister might have a world-beating new wardrobe, voters are refusing to wear his government’s austerity drive.“

So thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner took “a friend” on her freebie break in Manhattan, as well as going (on another freebie break?) to Ibiza, where she made the UK a laughing stock by her vulgar antics in the so-called “VIP area” of a noisy horrible nightclub of some sort? (at age 44).
Very true, but that should not be used as a reason or excuse to vandalize the English countryside with tracts of boring, poorly-designed and ugly housing, with inadequate infrastructure (a fortiori, if that housing is destined to be used as hutches for migrant-invaders).
Sadly, when said friends were featured in a national newspaper gossip piece about him (meaning, about Scruton hobnobbing with people having radical “neo-fascist” political connections), Scruton decided to cut them from his acquaintances for reasons of careerism.
Scruton was a very influential academic later in his career, and published over 50 books which were translated into many languages, especially in Eastern and Central Europe (I myself recall seeing an entire bookshop window of Scruton’s works in Czech in the Old Town of Prague in 1999). Scruton, though, was fatally flawed by his wish to make money.
UK – Rachel Reeves …Shamelessly Levelling herself up, whilst punching you down 👀
▪️Had her official credit card suspended over inappropriate spending 2015
▪️Plagiarised other people’s work over 20 times in her book 2023
Rachel Reeves and Starmer have, they say, “no money” to keep pensioners warm this winter (or in those to come) but there’s money aplenty to throw away and waste on the “Ukrainian” Jewish regime in Kiev, on the rulers of dozens of African and other “nations”, and on sheltering and feeding and giving pocket-money to millions of migrant-invaders who should not even be here.

This of course is before what is going to be a pretty disastrous budget
Bearing in mind that only 4 out of 12 voting voters (4 out of 20 eligible) actually voted for Labour anyway, that is pretty damning, and much less than 3 months in.
Migrant-invaders. At best— useless parasites; at worst— criminals and/or terrorists.
Anyone supporting this invasion is, in a very real sense, a traitor to the British people and to all European people— and the future.
707. In a single day. All will now be housed, fed, given money, given medical and dental services, given other services etc by the “government”, i.e. out of the pockets of the British people. About £200 per day each. Maybe more. So at least £140,000 per day, just for today’s consignment of riff-raff.
Meanwhile, Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and “elected” dictatorship is throwing billions at “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), at African and Asian wastes of space, at all sorts of nonsense, and is cheating all British people, especially pensioners but also, down the line, the middle-aged and young (deprived of a decent future).
Labour’s stance on illegal migration is completely bananas. It dumped Rwanda Plan without bothering to see if it worked or tightening it up to now say it likes Tunisia deal which has fewer human rights protections than Rwanda & won’t work in the Channel! Labour totally inept…

The elites want you to believe mass immigration is harmless—but the truth is being hidden. From crime cover-ups to border chaos, Britain is paying the price. I break down the lies and the facts.
Disagreements in the West over Ukraine's attacks on Russia
▪️The possible use of Western long-range weapons to strike deep in Russian territory has become a point of contention among Kiev's Western allies, writes "Bloomberg" citing sources.
“Disagreements in the West over Ukraine’s attacks on Russia
The possible use of Western long-range weapons to strike deep in Russian territory has become a point of contention among Kiev’s Western allies, writes “Bloomberg” citing sources. “
The main concern of many is a direct conflict with Russia, and that is why they are cautious in making this decision, as well as the possible entry of Ukraine into NATO in the near future ,” the agency adds.”
Ukraine cannot join NATO except as a fig-leaf for further attacks on Russia. A good tenth if not a fifth of its pre-2014 territory is now occupied by Russian forces and being administered as a part of the Russian Federation. Its economy is on the floor and only being propped up by Western aid of all sorts. Much of the pre-2014 population is either under Russian rule or has left for other countries. It also faces demographic extinction— the birth rate is far from being high enough to keep the population numbers stable.
Still, good to see that not all Western statesmen are crazies desperate to trigger a third world war.

Trouble is, these rabbit holes go deep. Once you start seeing the connections it’s fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. Same names.. over and over.
Well, here we are again. On the “original” 11 September, meaning “9/11” 2001 (in the American format), I was in the back of a taxi driving down the Strand in London, with an American colleague. Mid-morning. He received a call from his wife in Charleston, South Carolina. Something about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
My colleague relayed the news to me, and the typically know-all London taxi driver told us that he already knew all about it.
My American colleague asked me where we could get to a TV. I replied that our office in London (off Berkeley Square in Mayfair) had one, but that there used to be a Dixons (electronics and home electrical goods store) in the Strand. We saw it, disembarked and went into that store. Hundreds of TV sets, all showing what looked like a disaster movie. A few customers wandering around, looking at the goods, seemingly unaware of the enormity of what was happening, vicariously, in front of them.
After about 10 minutes looking and listening, we left and went to my then office. The staff there were getting the latest on-the-ground and diplomatic news.
My American colleague was both grim and angry, and muttered something about how “we” should respond in the same way the Israelis always did. Needless to say, I disagreed, though as politely as I could. For one thing, the origins and motives of the perpetrators had not yet been established (he was saying that it must be the Iraqis, which of course turned out to be wrong). I do recall remarking that if a state was proven to have been behind the attack, then it was undoubtedly an act of war in terms of international law.
Of course, the 2001 WTC attack was used as the fuel for the American-led invasions of both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I well remember my American colleague’s anger, which I think was general across the USA, from what I not only saw on TV but also what I noted once or twice in the USA not long afterward; I flew to Washington about a week or so after the attacks.
I myself was relatively unemotional about it, despite the horrible images and evident suffering etc. That’s just me, I suppose. After all, many horrible things happen in the world, and the Americans themselves perpetrate quite a few of them. Having said that, the attack was an appalling outrage from almost any point of view.
That report is really worth reading. The Israeli intelligence connection to the “9/11” attack is more than a simple “conspiracy theory” that can be simply laughed off.
“After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said: “It’s very good.” Then he corrected himself, adding: “Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy for Israel from Americans.”
[Herald Scotland]
As with the Kennedy assassination, some of the “9/11” conspiracy theories, mutually contradictory as some are, cannot be entirely discounted.
One thing that I found odd at the time was that members of the bin Laden family living in the USA at the time were flown out of US airspace on private jets only a day or two after the attacks (the Pentagon also having been hit), and authorized in person, it seems, by George W. Bush, the U.S. President, and at a time before ordinary commercial flights were allowed to resume.
Of course, since the attacks of 2001, the area of the attack has been redeveloped.
The original “Twin Towers” complex was a very powerful architectural statement, partly because of the two almost identical main buildings:
In fact, there were minor differences. I went up both towers. Once only, in 1989, onto the open observation deck of the South Tower:
…and also once only to the Hors d’Oeuvrerie and Cellar in the Sky near the top of the North Tower, where I enjoyed the view and a couple of glasses of Californian Chardonnay with my first wife, an employee of the Federal Government. That would have been in 1990 or 1991.
In fact, during the years 1989-1993 I was occasionally at the World Trade Center, but only because I sometimes used the PATH line from Newark (New Jersey) into Manhattan, a service that terminated either at the WTC or at 33rd Street/Herald Square in Midtown (I more often went to Midtown).
Incidentally, one of the things I noticed about the South Tower was the speed of the very large express lift/elevator (the size of a room), which transported tourists to the floor below the Observation Deck in a matter of only a couple of minutes, if I recall aright. I think 107 floors. There was a staircase from there to the outside Observation Deck.
Having said that, such shouting matches and trivia do have their effect on voter response.
At this point, I have no idea who supposedly “won” the TV debate, or who is going to come out on top in the election.
The “Twitterati”, or Twitter/X twits, heavily pro-Kamala Harris, think that she has “won” the TV debate, but that is near-meaningless: they were also sure that the Remain side would win the Brexit Referendum, and that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.
If you're wondering why the ABC moderators are trying to discredit Trump every time he finishes a sentence, it's because David Muir has covers him negatively 93% of the time, and is the most PRO HARRIS host on TV. #Debate2024
America is now so polarized that it would take a President ten times better than the two present contenders rolled together to patch it up.
They are sacrificing pensioners rather than offend their globalist paymasters by cutting climate aid or money to ukraine. They showed who they are early.
Starmer-Labour is a Labour Friends of Israel project.
More reminiscences
It seems that today is a day for Memory Lane.
I notice that Larkbeare House in Exeter, not far from the barristers’ chambers where I was professionally based during the years 2002-2008 (though actually resident much of the time after 2005 and until mid-2009 in France), is up for sale.
Larkbeare House was, at that time (and, indeed, since 1876), the Judges’ Lodgings. High Court and Circuit Judges on the Western Circuit of the Bar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuits_of_England_and_Wales] would stay there when sitting at Exeter.
I attended a couple of receptions there in 2006/2007.
Judges’ Lodgings, which go back hundreds of years, came into existence as a way of isolating judges from the opinions and potential pressures of the local populations, and also protecting them from potential intimidation or protest.
The sale is a sign of the times. The misgovernment of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne decided to sell off most of the remaining Judges’ Lodgings. Judges now often stay in hotels when on circuit; to my mind not entirely satisfactory.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to buy the property, the “guide price” is £4M.

She probably worked her whole life, paying tax and NI, so she is eligible for a full state pension. When she was working very few had employer contributed pensions so that is all she has – £221/week – that is £3/week more than the pension credit level. https://t.co/NfZa4HyuS5
I will say it again for those at the back. People just above the Pension Credit threshold are actually far worse off than those who receive it. Pension Credit is a gateway benefit and opens the door to about £3k of financial help. Income of over £218pw denies you that, and WFP.
Another huge response on Winter fuel allowance. This is the MP for Lincoln Hamish Falconer talking to me about why he voted for the cut. https://t.co/idEQxE2qQB
Listen to that little bastard (Hamish Falconer MP). Parroting the exact same words that many “Conservative” MPs did 2010-2024. No difference whatsoever. “Tough choices” etc. The little bastard has never had to make a “tough choice” in his life, let alone one that impacted him personally.
Since leaving the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, Falconer worked as an associate fellow at the IPPR,[6] and was a Policy Fellow at the think tank Labour Together alongside standing as a candidate for Parliament.“
[Wikipedia].
A horrible little System-careerist bastard, in short. Moreover, one born with a double-size silver spoon in his mouth.
There’s absolutely no defence for a LABOUR government to do this! Fix the cut off point first. I hate Cameron with a passion however he made a good point “the upper tax bracket as the cut off point” that way you’re not penalizing those just above the pension credit cut off.
Starmer and his cohorts, including the said horrible little careerist bastard, are sending £3 BILLION a year to the brutal Jewish dictatorship in Kiev, apart from anything else. More than they are confiscating from British pensioners.
As he orders his MPs to vote to freeze pensioners this winter, it is worth remembering that @Keir_Starmer has his own law to protect his pension and he pays no tax on it.
The “Conservative” government of that little Indian money-juggler had to go, had to be binned, but what has replaced it (as I predicted, though not alone) is a kind of useless, pointless, sleazy, box-ticking Blair Mark Two government of would-be dictatorial idiots, headed by chief idiot Starmer.

Britain is in an economic doom loop.
Punitive taxes, Net Zero zealotry and a bloated state are driving business and growth away.
Labour has punished pensioners by taking away the #WinterFuelAllowance and is raising taxes.
They are already worse. Starmer-Labour, Friends of Israel-Labour, has nothing it really wants to do, except sit as a “government”, get paid well, make connections with big business, and “govern “, punishing anyone who expresses alternative views of the world.
They have no policies worth a plugged nickel, and they have no mandate— only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted for them, and most of those were people wanting only to bin the “Conservative” Party.
Starmer's shocking conduct brought about the extraordinary situation where Sunak looks competent over the winter fuel payments scandal says @wrightismight WHERE'S THE ASSESSMENT?👇https://t.co/4rLKDTysi7
Starmer-Labour has a list of people they want to kill off or at least imprison and/or silence: pensioners (hardly any of whom vote Labour now), alternative political voices, those opposed to Israeli war crimes and the UK Jewish lobby.
This is a (barely-)”elected” dictatorship, composed mainly of people who can fairly, if loosely, be described as traitors.

That Dunt individual is not objective. I believe that he tweeted or retweeted about me a few times in the past. Unpleasant, and usually wrong in his views.
Starmer and his cabal think that the recent protests and their “riotous” offshoots are as bad as it gets for him and Labour. Think again. 4+ years of this type of quasi-tyrannical misgovernment and anything could happen.
“Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are set to be insulated from the impact of energy bill hikes as pensioners face a struggle without winter fuel payments.
The PM and Chancellor only pay a taxable benefit on running costs at the grace-and-favour apartments – capped at 10 per cent of their ministerial salaries.
It means that they contribute around £3,000 to cover all utilities and other expenses, and the sum will not go up when the Ofgem cap increases by 10 per cent next month.
…critics have warned that thousands of pensioners on low-incomes could die through lack of heating when the weather turns.”
