“Former defence secretary Ben Wallace has warned Israel that it risks undermining the legal basis for its action in the Gaza Strip, adding to growing international pressure over the escalating conflict.
Writing in the Telegraph, the senior Tory warned against a ‘killing rage’ and said Israel’s ‘original legal authority of self-defence is being undermined by its own actions’.
The intervention by Mr Wallace, who left office earlier this year, is the latest warning to Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration amid deepening concern over the scale of civilian casualties.”
[Daily Mail]
Even pro-Israel drones such as Wallace are now trying to distance themselves from Israel’s “massacre of (mainly) the innocents” in Gaza.
The Israelis and other Jews may not be (mainly) descended from the original Israelites of thousands of years ago (the Jews of today being descended mainly from Black Sea or other Khazars), but the former model their actions on the Israelites’ genocidal wars as recounted in the Old Testament.
“Jack Monroe”
Certainly overdue for a reckoning on this one. She seems to have gone silent which is a good thing in terms of her dangerously misguided "campaigning" but can't help wondering why none of the celebrities that defended her have nothing to say now. #JackMonroe
I do think she wrongly perpetuated the idea that one could feed a family healthily for £20/week. Which was a lie. And contributed to some terrible stereotyping of pple in poverty. Aided austerity, rather than challenging it.
You're right. The lack of due diligence in fact-checking #JackMonroe backstory or whether any of her claims actually held any weight is a shocking indictment on the press.
Rufus Hound blocked me for suggesting that Jack Monroe was not as squeaky clean as people believed. @RalfLittle was also quick to defend the patreon. @Nigella_Lawson was taken in by the lies and, in turn, earned Monroe over £10.000 in a single month. Where are they now? pic.twitter.com/pLyp48i2EU
The above details only “Jack Monroe’s” Patreon “grift”. In addition, the “grifting” fraud also got money from stray donations direct to her, from newspaper interviews, radio, and TV shows and interviews, from “consultancy” “work” for major supermarkets, from well-paid appearances at various festivals and other events, and from book royalties, as well as from fake appeals for money based on non-existent legal actions against Lee Anderson MP and others (monies which “Jack Monroe” then pocketed for her own use). A total of tens of thousands of pounds a month at peak.

🇮🇱Zionist infiltration of our government and institutions is the ONE thing we’re NOT allowed to talk about.
If you do, you risk (in the UK) being prosecuted at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby, eg the malicious cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. They have corrupted or otherwise suborned the police and CPS. I myself was recently convicted in the magistrates’ courts by reason of such a prosecution, as regular readers of the blog will know (I may appeal; we shall see).
Incredibly, there are millions of poor saps who believe loonies and/or liars of that sort. If you are told constantly, for example, from age 5 or 7 or 10, or 14, and from all manner of “authoritative” msm and other sources, that millions of Jews were killed during 1941-1944 in “gas chambers” by German SS personnel in Poland, then that idea becomes embedded in your psyche, and stays there until you are, so to speak, “cured” in —usually— later life, whether that be at age 21, 28, 35, 42 or whenever.
They sit there in their armchairs, calling for genocide, while fellow-Jews smile and laugh in the TV studio or elsewhere, yet if anyone in the West posts a comment about them, or a satirical cartoon, they are —or pretend to be— horrified, and equate that to “terrorism”…
Will Esther McVey investigate the Tory MP who claimed £8,750 in expenses for her own personal photographer, while sanctioning 1,000's of disabled people for being a few minutes late for their benefit appointments? Esther?
Esther McVey is merely one of hundreds of “deadhead MPs”. The fact that so many clowns can become MPs and even Cabinet ministers proves, in my judgment, that the whole system is rotten.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Metropolitan Kirill's speech in Kiev in 2008, it's only been 14 years since this video, but watching Kiev today, someone could thing a century have past.
Ukraine along with Russia were then celebrating the 1020th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia.
— Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil (@ivan_8848) December 18, 2023
“Metropolitan Kyrill of Smolensk addressed the crowd of thousands in Kiev: “What was Russia baptised for? For us to be happy. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus – this is Holy Russia! Holy Russia is not an empire, it is not a union: former or some future one. Holy Russia is an ideal of love, goodness and truth. We are all with you, one Holy Russia! Remain who you are and nothing will shake our unity.“”
I myself once met a Metropolitan of Kiev (the second-ranking dignity in the Russian Orthodox Church). At breakfast. My then girlfriend was looking after him that day (he spoke no English).
I think that that was at the de Vere Hotel by Kensington High Street, and in the early/mid-1980s. Maybe 1983 or 1984. He gave me some of his kefir (the first time I had tried it) and, at the same time, deftly fielded a question from me about his view of Tolstoy. Later that morning, at the empty Russian Orthodox Cathedral (also in Kensington), he gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.
On May 1, I was arrested for my YouTube videos. The photos of my arrest are pretty funny—morning bed-head made me look like a character out of Dr. Seuss.
My crime was making videos critical of the West and their proxy regime in Kiev—and how they are destroying Ukraine.
So far, nothing more on Twitter from Gonzalo Lira. Looks like he has been arrested. It seems naive to have posted the above tweets and then tried to cross the border. It occurred to me that Lira was going to try to cross a different border than the one specified, but that might not have made any difference in the digital age.
The rest of his important Twitter thread:
My indictment explicitly states that all I did was discuss publicly known facts about the war—the epitome of free speech in a democracy.
But Zelensky’s Ukraine is no democracy—it is a thieving, corrupt, murderous gangster regime PRETENDING to be a polite “western” democracy.
In other words, the formalities were carried out scrupulously—while judicial and ethical grotesqueries ruled.
That's Zelensky’s Ukraine. That's what his thuggish regime cares about: The >perception< of democracy and the rule of law, so as to mask the sordid, corrupt reality.
As you can see by the indictment, the video I made that really chapped their ass was “Ukraine: A Primer”, which gives the historical background to the conflict—where I state outright that this invasion wasn't out of the blue. That indeed, it was provoked by the Kiev regime.
I got a cracked rib in my first cell, but it wasn't too bad. The worst stretch was in my fourth cell.
From 1pm on June 21 until 7pm the next day—30 hours—I was beaten and sleep deprived, my arms twisted the wrong way around at the shoulders, and generally beaten pretty bad.
Near the end of this session, one of the thugs struck me in the chest so hard and so repetitively that the beating left a yellow-and-green splotch dead-center on my sternum.
He was >berated< by the cell boss, because he'd left a mark on me—which was a no-no.
The guard told me to remove my shirt so he could look me over. The bruising was really spectacular—but he just nodded and pretended he didn't see a thing.
>Perceptions< He'd checked me, right?
Why was I beaten to the point of torture? Well—it wasn't over my YouTube videos!
So once they had me imprisoned for my videos, the SBU took the opportunity to extort money from me—using the guards as accomplices, who in turn used the prisoners as the muscle.
How I discovered this is too complicated for a Twitter thread. But I'm writing a book about it.
And the US State Department would return me too. I'm not a black lesbian druggie, or a transgender grifter. Besides, Victoria Nuland hates my guts, or so I'm told.
I'm hoping the Hungarians will read my indictment and say, “This is bullshit—we’re not sending him back.”

Ah. That had puzzled me. Here we have a notably corrupt and shambolic “state”, Ukraine, which for 30+ years has become ever-more corrupt and shambolic. That state has now been invaded, a tenth of its territory occupied, and about 20% of the population has fled to other countries. Industry is largely idle, while agricultural produce cannot be, for the most part, exported. Despite all that, the exchange rate of its currency, the hryvnia, has not dropped through the floor. Why not?

People aren't poor because they haven't been 'taught how to look after themselves'. No one knows more about budgeting than people in poverty. And coming from a middle class grifter such as Jack Monroe it's condescending, and damaging to the conversation around poverty.
Jack Monroe refuses to be transparent about missing Teemill charity money, 30p Lee 'legal fund', 3 years unfulfilled Patreon, falsely claimed abject poverty whilst buying luxury goods and begging for money, and blocks anyone who asks reasonable questions.
Online “grifter”, “Supertanskiii”, who apparently makes some kind of living partly via pretending to be an “anti-Tory” “activist” (i.e. she tweets ranting, repetitive, and boring remarks about “the Tories” several times a day, and is, or so I read, sent money by, I also read, pathetic middle-aged men, mostly), engages in dialogue with someone about better-known “grifter” “Jack Monroe”. Note also how “Supertanskiii” uses that stupid “they” thing when she means “she“.
The conversation was all about how MP Lee Anderson (admittedly not someone of whom I particularly approve) was evil etc when he claimed to be able to make food for 30p (while fraudster “Jack” claims to be able to do the same for 11p). Both totally implausible, in my opinion.
Louise Theroux and Nick Fuentes
Saw a recording of a recent Louis Theroux TV show. His usual modus operandi, i.e. try to appear friendly or at least honestly inquisitive, while plotting how to entrap his interviewers and/or make them look stupid. It often works. The only one of his interviewees (from the relatively few of his shows seen by me) who managed to put Theroux in his place was the late Max Clifford.
This show was about one Nick Fuentes and his followers in the USA. I had heard of Nick Fuentes, but knew little of him.
I have to say that Theroux did not have a difficult task this time. Weird people giggling and making jokes out of serious issues, these Nick Fuentes followers (and the man himself) came across more like silly boys aged about 10 (in most cases) rather than young or youngish men in their twenties and thirties trying to put forward serious points and maybe attain to political leadership.
Not that I disliked or disagreed with all that they said. They seemed to be fairly solid on the “Jewish Question”, though their views were pretty superficial.
Nick Fuentes himself seemed reasonably intelligent, and is plainly making a small fortune out of his activities, but some of his views are just mad, and I have nothing in common with the “nothing is serious”, or “making jokes to make a semi-serious point” tactics he and his followers deploy. I also have nothing in common in terms of lifestyle with these “gamers” and their Call of Duty (etc) interests. I have never played such a game, not even once. There again, I am now 66, twice or even three times the age of these —to me— strange young/youngish men (apparently there are a few women, but not many).
They all expressly disclaimed any connection with, or interest in, National Socialism, or what they termed “white supremacism“, or even “white nationalism“. That rang a couple of alarm bells for me. It occurred to me that Fuentes, and the movement as a whole might be a kind of plant, or at least being loosely manipulated as “controlled opposition”.
Here is a movement of the contemporary computerized era: no ideology to speak of (from what I have seen so far), no real programme, no administrative structure beyond whatever is necessary to publish their views online. A rag-tag bunch of followers, though quite numerous (Fuentes was said to be able to gather a crowd of several thousands at short notice, and in any state of the Union).
I enjoyed seeing the scenes of the U.S. Capitol invaded, but that did not amount to a putsch, even on the slightly comic-opera or tragi-comic level of, say, the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 in Munich, which at least had real aims, real ideology, serious people (Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Ludendorff, Rudolf Hess, Dietrich Eckart etc), and real courage and steel.
The U.S. Capitol “riot”, by contrast— no discipline, no ideology, no real leadership; chaotic, and with nothing to fall back upon afterwards.
Not very impressive (both Fuentes’ movement and Theroux’s show). The nagging thought is in my mind— what interests are served by a phenomenon such as that? It may be little more than a safety-valve for the System.
I hope you'll ask direct qus about why Jack, having received cash via Patreon, hasn't delivered promised rewards for years/paused it, & hasn't refunded people contributing to sue Lee Anderson when she failed to sue? Why the VBI hasn't materialised? Why she's so unpleasant online?
“The VBI” refers to the “Jack Monroe” invention (which does not in fact exist) of a so-called “Vimes’ Boots Index” of inflation monitoring of basic or staple products. Another “Jack Monroe” scam, in short.

Tweeter “Birdy Bart”: joined Twitter late June 2023, and only 1 “follower”. The latest “Jack Monroe” “sock account”. Pathetic, but not as pathetic as the 379 utter mugs still each sending the fraudulent “grifter” between £3.50 and £44 a month, a total of thousands of pounds a month.
Still, the tide has turned.
Last year, “Jack Monroe” was being chucked money by about 850 mugs (she having been endorsed by Jewish “celebrity” “foodies” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner).
In the latter part of 2022, that ~850 declined to about 400 or so as people started to wake up to the fraudulent and abusive behaviour etc by “Jack Monroe” and her fans; then the number declined further, to 396-397, and stuck there for quite a while, several months. Now— 379. Must still be several thousand a month, though, as noted. Even on the lowest level (£3.50 each), that is still over £1,300 in cash, though, every month, and taxfree. At a guess, she must still be pulling in about £4,000 a month from those mugs.

Any "abuse" is too much, but I get the impression we may have different definitions of that word. Fair criticism of Jack Monroe is not abuse. Educating others on her dodgy activities is not abuse. I believe she should be encouraged to stop tricking people out of money.
Why are the Essex Police (or other police) not actively investigating “Jack Monroe” and her fraudulent behaviour? Surely they cannot be spending all their time snooping on Twitter tweets and blog postings, or seizing “racist” teddy bears?

So-called “Travellers” (Irish “tinkers”). Quite typical behaviour. I once witnessed such an incident myself. I was in a cafe at Dover, near the port, and waiting to embark for France with my car. On entering the cafe, I saw that the main area was empty, but that a noisy group of Irish persons, aged from 40+ to small children, had been put in a side room. They were both eating and drinking (beer).
After about 20 minutes, they all came out into the main area, and while one or two talked to the two Italian (I think) staff, the rest went out into the street. The two inside seemed to be preparing to pay, but made up a story about how others were going to pay. One of the two, then the other, went “to fetch the others” but of course disappeared. The waiters ran out and took the number of one of the cars. They also called the police.
Well, there were two minor sequels to that incident. The first was the same day. On arrival in Calais or Boulogne (I forget which, and was a regular arrival at both, in those days), and on going back to my car on the ferry, I noticed the small crowd of foot passengers at a disembarkation point. One of them was a tall girl aged about 18-20, who was part of that “tinker” group. I noticed that she was now alone, and trying to “play grey”, i.e. blending in with the other foot passengers.
The other members of the “tinker” group were not there. Had they stayed in the UK? Had they gone to vehicles? Who knows?
The other sequel was that I stopped by the same cafe about 6 months later, and asked whether the police had done anything. Apparently not, though that may have been because the registration number taken was not a known one (probably false).
Statement
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I am being prosecuted on 5 counts of breach of the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s. 127, relating to five blog posts allegedly posted by me.
Political “crime”.
I have already stated that I shall not be blogging in detail about the case until it is concluded.
Today, I attended the magistrates’ court for a case management hearing. At that hearing, various directions were given. The only ones of interest to readers of the blog are that there will be another case management hearing later in the year (in October), and that a trial date has not as yet been fixed but possible dates are in the latter half of November 2023. If those dates prove ineffective, then it may be that the trial of this entirely pointless and malicious prosecution will not take place until December 2023, or even a later date, i.e. in 2024.
I shall blog in detail about the matter once the trial has been held (assuming that one is held).

Still no explanation from BBC Question Time as to why “Jack Monroe” was invited onto the show not long ago, thus facilitating more of her fraudulent activities. She was exposed years ago as a continual liar, and increasingly, certainly since mid-2022, as an outright fraud.
I myself have been surprised, over the past year, as to how outrageous the “Jack Monroe “grift”/fraud is and has been.
Thinking about the “Jack Monroe” fraud and/or “grift” reminded me of a similarly untruthful character I encountered 30 years ago.
When I returned from the USA in 1993, and started to try to make a living at the Bar (based in exceptionally-poor chambers in London), I did both civil and criminal cases, though I was never much at home in the criminal courts.
At that time (maybe still today, I do not know), solicitors employed unqualified stray persons as “outdoor clerks”, who would attend court hearings on behalf of the instructing solicitors, and in support of Counsel appearing. They had no rights of audience but were more or less messengers and “spear-carriers”.
Such “outdoor clerks” were people most of whom had no legal training at all: out-of-work actors, retired people in need of a financial top-up, all sorts. The advantage in employing them, for solicitors, was the low cost. I seem to recall that a recently-retired lady I knew got £10 or so (maybe £40 or £50 in today’s money) to attend. Most of the hearings were brief, and even with the waiting around etc, the “outdoor clerk” was usually free by lunchtime if not before. Any more-serious hearings, including trials weightier than minor traffic matters, would usually be attended by an articled clerk (trainee solicitor) or a solicitor in person.
One fine day, I was sent to appear in the magistrates’ court somewhere, and was met at court by an outdoor clerk, a rather swarthy mustachioed person, maybe late thirties, who looked more like what the police might term a “villain” than any kind of quasi-legal representative. As soon as he had introduced himself, a furious man accosted him and said “I need a word with you!“, upon which the pair adjourned to a nearby room where I could see them arguing.
The outdoor clerk, one Mitch Baird, then re-emerged, explaining that the furious man was a solicitor with mental health problems. I accepted that explanation by default. I was thinking more about the case in hand, the first appearance of a defendant in an indictable case.
After that, I was instructed on other matters (civil as well as criminal) by the same firm of solicitors, headed by a Jew called “Maxwell”, so encountered Mitch Baird fairly frequently. I met his West Indian girlfriend, with whom he lived (when around). A pleasant woman. I also met her mother. Their house (belonging to the mother) was a large detached Victorian house in the Stamford Hill area of London better known for its population of Hasidic Jews. I even attended a kind of garden party there, well-attended by an eclectic mix, including at least one Metropolitan Police detective (I would never have guessed his occupation).
That all-day barbeque/garden party, which I helped Baird to set up, was also notable for the amount of booze consumed: Baird and I alone drank (I think) 12 (it may have been “only” 8, but even so…) bottles of Bulgarian red wine between us (it seems impossible to me now…), before, late in the evening, heading to Le Caribe, “London’s only silver-service Caribbean restaurant” (now long-closed), a mile or so away, for a couple of imported (Trinidadian) Carib beers at the bar, overlooking a scene of gold-festooned Yardie types dining nearby. Baird then drove me home to Little Venice and dropped me off there. God knows what his alcohol reading would have been, had he been stopped.
Well, suffice to say that the said Baird was not to be trusted. Reports and complaints gradually emerged. For example, he had, apparently, actually taken money in cash from the family of a young Trinidadian visitor for legal defence, when the latter was supposedly legally aided! I had appeared for the defendant, managed to get the charge dropped as well (possession of an offensive weapon), but was never paid (Baird had obviously not put in the requisite legal aid papers).
In a civil case involving defamation, Baird had (in my own chambers, after a conference), got the lay client to make out a cheque for £2,000 to Baird himself. I was myself totally unaware of those facts at the time.
When the lay client discovered that my written advice was that the case was unlikely to succeed, he complained to my clerk that he had been cheated by both the Jew solicitor, “Maxwell”, and by Baird (I was cleared by the client of dishonesty but described in his letter as having not understood what a good case he had! His letter had gone to the Law Society (the solicitors’ body), I think, with the names of all concerned, such as MILLARD, in capital letters, as in the files of the Security Service. That detail has always stuck in my memory.
The lay client had demanded that my clerk, or I myself, somehow get back his money.
Though I was myself blameless (as was my almost useless clerk of the time), I could see the situation snowballing. My clerk had discovered that the £2,000 cheque (worth at least £6,000 today) had been paid into a bank account controlled by Baird’s girlfriend, Baird having himself been blackballed by all banks. I therefore pressured the girlfriend on the telephone, telling her (truthfully) that she could go to prison if the money was not handed back.
I am not a natural bully, but needs must, and after a great deal of bitter tears, the girlfriend did agree to give the money to my clerk, who returned it to the lay client.
I believe that Baird split up later with that woman. No loss (to her). She was probably unaware that she was but one string to his bow. In fact, a very nice St. Lucian bar owner woman had told me that various West Indian women were always telephoning the bar for Baird, leaving messages etc.
Baird then had the cheek to telephone me at chambers and threaten to “give you a good hiding”, as he put it, if I refused to give him, via my clerk, the £2,000. I invoked the name of the Metropolitan Police, then put the telephone down. I never heard from Baird again.
In the interim, though, I happened to meet, at court, that furious man described at the beginning of this story. It turned out that, far from being the lunatic described by Baird, he was a most reasonable fellow, a solicitor who had employed Baird in the recent past as outdoor clerk, and who had discovered that Baird was stealing money, tricking clients out of cash, demanding cash even when the defendant was legally-aided etc.
That solicitor also gave me some background. It seemed that Baird’s parents were mestizos from one of the main Caribbean islands (I forget which), and that his father was a pillar of the community (I think a surgeon). Baird was white-ish but his half-brother not. Baird himself had apparently been a shocking disappointment and source of shame to his parents, by reason of his various behaviours in the Caribbean.
That solicitor had told me how it had taken him a long time to untangle the skein of fraud, theft, and lack of any responsibility, of Baird. The Law Society had been on the solicitor’s neck, I think.
I was contacted not long afterward by that half-brother of Baird, who begged me to meet him and his Polish girlfriend to discuss the matter. Turned out that he worked in a senior (he said) or middle-management (my guess) role at Citibank. He was afraid of scandal tarnishing him, especially the fraudulent aspects of his half-brother’s behaviour.
I met the couple at Ronnie Scott’s, the famous Soho jazz club, which I had not visited previously, and which I found quite interesting. The “Citibank” Baird and Polish girlfriend (a blonde dentist), who seemed to have some kind of VIP membership (we were able to jump the queue to get in) were not unpleasant, and we discussed the problem amicably enough before parting.
What struck me at the time is how the fraudulent Baird had managed to get away with many things because most people, most of the time, believe most of what is told to them, especially when they are introduced (by others, or via mass media “validation”) to the fraudulent individual in such a way as to lull suspicion.
It takes time to wake up to the lies of a hard-core narcissist.
Here we come to the similarity with “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”. She was introduced to the public by sort-of-trusted organizations and people. The Guardian. The Observer. TV shows. Nigella Lawson, the Jewish TV cook. Others.
That validation (which to some extent continues— incredibly, “Jack Monroe” was on BBC Question Time recently, long after her “grifting” and outright fraud was exposed) makes many tend not to question her bona fides.
Even now, you see on Twitter those unthinking people perfectly happy to accept that “Jack Monroe” crowdfunded to “sue Lee Anderson”, then did not sue Lee Anderson (a few of the mugs even think that she did sue— and won!), and then (as she claims) donated all those crowdfunded monies to an unnamed food bank, indeed to one which she refuses to name. Meanwhile she tries to pull the old “mental health”, “physical health”, and “fear of stalkers and trolls” stunts, which she has used many times previously when suspicions about her gather.
Some commentators think that I am wasting my time on “Jack Monroe” and her mug supporters. Probably, but it makes me angry to see vulnerable, well-meaning, often elderly and, not-infrequently seen, disabled and sick people being taken for mugs by that cheat and liar, who is just laughing at them, if only they were able to wake up and see it.
Where are the police? Still seizing “racist” teddy bears? Still snooping on Twitter or blog posts?
Finally, I have no idea what happened to the egregious Mitch Baird. Maybe the bastard died. Many of those who target me seem to live relatively short lives. Or maybe he just faded into terminal obscurity.

Ukraine now is a failed state. In fact it is not really a state at all. It has scarcely any industry still functioning, its agriculture continues but soon will be unable to export, its population is declining via low birth rates, and about 20% of that population has fled to other countries. It cannot replace its Army personnel who are being killed in large numbers, and has had to resort to press-gangs pulling young men off the streets.
Now we see that even more money from the American taxpayer will be sent in order that Ukraine will be able to offer its citizens basic goods and services— water, food, medical help.
Without foreign arms, ammunition, and money (much of which money is stolen by the members of the Zelensky “government”), “Ukraine” as a quasi-state would almost immediately cease to exist. The war would end shortly thereafter.

Day 36 since the deadline to sue Lee Anderson expired. Rich poverty-cosplayer Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook lies & harasses those asking for refunds & transparency after taking 100s of 1,000s of donations for 1 year. 15 days ago she doxxed a creditor. 4d ago she didn’t show in court
“Jack Monroe” has obviously decided that she cannot simply refund cheated and actively-aggrieved donors in case the trickle of refund demands becomes a flood. She has therefore resorted once again to outright lies, now apparently even claiming to her hardcore mug followers that she has “successfully sued Lee Anderson” (or so many of said mugs believe). In reality, of course, she never sued the MP Lee Anderson (after a year, the time limitation barred action), and simply raised funds in order, ostensibly, to sue him, but then diverted those funds to her own use.
Why is “Jack Monroe” not being actively investigated by Essex Police? I know that that police force has been very busy seizing “racist” teddy bears from English people, but it might consider investigating some real crime as well.
If Jack Monroe is too sick and mentally unwell to answer basic questions about financial transparency and where money has gone then she’s too sick to be at events like @greenbelt and other engagements.
To hell with what “Jack Monroe” may or may not need. She should be being investigated on multiple allegations of fraud.
“Panicdemic”/”scamdemic”
Wonderful thread in which an historian uses their skills at evaluating evidence to 'clinically' deconstruct the appeal from 'Italian doctors' at the start of the pandemic. https://t.co/SI0jjGtb7i
— Mike Haynes – a Jobbing Leftie Historian (@JobbingLeftieH) June 17, 2023
The “panicdemic” started not because truly qualified scientists urged “lockdowns”, as well as the facemask nonsense and ludicrous other “measures” such as Boris-idiot’s “rule of six”, but because people not in any way qualified were promoting a panic agenda. One of the worst, of course, was the idiotic Professor Ferguson, member (why?) of “SAGE” (aka, for me, “DUMB”, the “Department Under Matt and Boris”); Ferguson trained in physics and statistics, not medicine.
Huge numbers of other specifically-unqualified persons added to the clamour for “stricter measures” etc— doctors who were just ordinary GPs, or specialists in other disciplines (eg psychiatry), and numerous “doctors” on Twitter, who on closer inspection turned out to be “doctors” of sociology, Trade Union Studies, criminology etc (if even those).
The results of the shutdown of society for ~2 years have been terrible: an enormous and continuing death toll, the NHS working even less efficiently, the economy facing severe and continuing downturn, the public facing harder and harder times; and so on.
Of course, the so-called “pandemic” was weaponized and used by Western governments (mainly), guided by transnational bodies such as the WEF, in order to introduce and test methods for the psychological control of mass populations. “The Great Reset” etc.
Imagine idiots like that thinking that “Jack Monroe” has somehow “beaten” Lee Anderson MP, when in fact she never even started a libel action against him, would have lost spectacularly had she done so, and has now slunk away even from attending the County Court matter in which she is the defendant, and in which one of the people she cheated via Patreon is the claimant (“plaintiff”, as was, years ago).
Stunning to consider that idiots of that type all have a vote…
Jack monroe is a horrible little grifter who exaggerated her situation & who took peoples kindness and used it to her own monetary advantage with evidence of wrongdoing, she is now doubling down & refusing to own up by using the “mental health” card as a way to deflect criticism
I hope that “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” does stop getting subsidized by (as of today) 413 utter mugs via Patreon, and that she really does fall to the point where she is living on State benefits alone. Let’s see then whether she can feed herself (as she claims) on about 33p a day (11p x 3) or (as she confusingly also claims) £20 a week (for 4 people, so £5 a week or 70p a day per person).
It’s all nonsense and lies, of course. “Jack Monroe” has thousands of pounds per month in cash via the Patreon grift/scam, and some other sources of income as well.
This woman is way beyond the age of protection afforded to children. There is a very fishy backstory to her nomination for a peerage, and I am amazed our national media are not rooting around to find out what it is.

I'm a bisexual, left-leaning woman and Jack Monroe is a grifter and a fraud. Be kind, not blind.
I'd also like to add this shouldn't be about politics really. My own politics don't always align with the very vocal anti-Jack accounts, but it doesn't mean they're wrong about her. Fraud is fraud whatever end of the political spectrum you fall under.
He didn't. Jack Monroe never even initiated the claim. In fact didn't even send a letter before action. She did however, keep hold of the crowdfunded legal fees & refuses to reveal where they are.
Ha. That silly woman, “Julie B”, aka “bluemoonjules” has the cheek to describe herself on Twitter as “Smartass” and a “BrainyFanGirl“.

I don’t hate anyone for how they choose to live their lives. We’re all human beings.
But this flag has become a symbol of degeneracy, of an agenda that seeks to confuse and corrupt children and vulnerable people into a twisted ideology, and it’s tearing society apart.
Jack Monroe has stated that she walked away from a surefire win in suing Lee Anderson – like fuck! When does Jack Monroe ever turn down free money 😆 Whilst most people in the world are busy with families and work at 10am of a Friday, JM is gloating that she conned people again.
I am not a doctor but, in my layman’s view at least, “Jack Monroe” is a type of psychopath not unknown in psychiatric literature: relentless, and likely to “double down” on her lies even after they have been comprehensively exposed as lies.
The “sue Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney” “grift” has been typical. She crowdfunded to sue them (ostensibly). She never in fact had a case, because their (I agree) defamatory (as innuendo) statements saying that “Jack Monroe” “lived off the backs of the poor” etc were, in a word, true. They were true statements (though possibly simply “mere insult”, and not actionable). Anderson and Daubney therefore had a complete defence of “truth”, even leaving aside fair comment, honest opinion etc, and the “mere insult” point. Also, had the matter gone to trial, “Jack Monroe” would have been required to disclose at least the outline of her financial affairs. She could never allow that.
It is noteworthy that the Jew lawyer, Mark Lewis, who had conduct of the libel case brought by “Jack Monroe” against Katie Hopkins years ago (a case impossible to lose; Ms. Hopkins was in the wrong, was possibly badly advised, and should have eaten crow a bit, and settled at an early stage), has in the past year not even emerged from his kennel re. “Jack Monroe”.
Lewis, now resident mainly in Israel, does not take on cases certain to fail (because he would then make no money).
It always looked like “Jack Monroe” had simply kept the “sue Lee Anderson” monies, and I shall believe that (as with her previous scams) that is exactly what happened in this case, unless and until I see at least plausible proof to the contrary.
“Jack Monroe” now simply “doubles down” and says “I could have won against Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney, but chose not to“! Stunning mendacity. The sad thing is that a great many of the mug followers of “Jack Monroe” will actually believe it.
Meanwhile, “Jack Monroe” is also claiming that her house on the South Essex coast has been besieged by large numbers of reporters and members of the public. Completely untrue, as far as I know.
That in turn has excited many of her mentally-unstable supporters, as with “David Salt (backing all strikes)” here below:
The jack monroe fans are now openly making it clear they want to violently attack those who call out her confirmed scamming.

Lee Anderson has said you can cook meals at 30p per head. Jack Monroe has suggested it can be as low as 11p per head. Both are using this as a way to explain how the poor can manage poverty. One is right wing, the other an 'anti poverty campaigner'. Who's right? pic.twitter.com/h7CFOeq5qt
This is so blatantly a con. It would be so easy and right to post evidence (with sensitive info redacted). It would be of huge benefit to her and the charity to post receipts. It would be no harm at all to anyone to simply say how much was raised. Why is she not doing? Please RT.
I read, late last year, that a black woman in Bristol was awaiting Crown Court trial for crowdfunding for legal costs and then keeping the money for her own personal use. How is this different?
Then of course there is a long list of other “Jack Monroe” frauds, scams, and lies. Too many to repeat here.
“A key organiser of the protest in Bristol during which a statue of the slave trader Edward Colston was toppled and dumped in the city’s harbour has been jailed for two and a half years for fraud.
Xahra Saleem, 23, admitted using more than £30,000 that was supposed to go to a charity for disadvantaged youngsters in the city to fund her lifestyle, including spending almost £6,000 on Uber rides.
…it took place soon after she had moved to Bristol and was living away from her family for the first time. At the time she had been taking drugs and drinking to excess. She also had mental health issues. He said there was little or no planning in what she did and she spent the money foolishly.
Over a 15-month period, she spent the funds on rent, an iPhone, iMac, purchases on Amazon, hair and beauty appointments, takeaways and Uber rides.
She made a string of false excuses about why she was not handing the money over to the charity – including that Black Lives Matters had advised her not to – but in the summer of 2021 admitted the money had gone.“
[The Guardian]
How is that different from what “Jack Monroe” has done?]
Just monroe things. Did it before with teemill money, claimed they'd donated enough for thousands of hungry people to eat to various unnamed charities, then showed receipts for a few hundred quid to one charity.
My own impression, reading her tweets, and having seen her on TV once or twice, is that “Jack Monroe” is a dangerous woman, and one who, in other circumstances, might have been a more conventional type of criminal, or even worse.
I can't stand Lee Anderson, but Jack Monroe raised a large amount of money to sue Lee -refuses to say how much, won't provide any transparency, says she 'donated' it but won't provide proof. It's not 'trolling' to ask relevant questions. It's not the first time she's done this.
Ha. Very true. I have never read or heard “Jack Monroe” say anything at all interesting, as far as I can recall. Maybe that is because, for her, everything revolves around her, and around her basically very limited world.
As far as I know, “Jack Monroe” rarely if ever travels beyond the UK or nearby countries such as the Netherlands, and exhibits no interest in a wider world of culture, politics, or the environment. She lives in a little —mainly London/Essex— bubble, and does not even drive a car. Maybe just as well, in view of her (supposedly past) problems with alcohol and (it is sometimes alleged) drugs.
As far as I can see, she has a very low level of education and culture, though admittedly that is concealed to some extent by a superficial glibness.
I wonder how she would score on the psychopathy test scale? My guess— off the scale.
See how Grimes used a third party platform so the amount donated is at least transparent? Jack Monroe refused to do that and took the monies in her personal Paypal. It gets to something when you are more dodgy than Darren fucking Grimes
“Grifter” and fraudster “Jack Monroe” still making empty threats, this time against Lee Anderson (again).
Jack Monroe's gonna do another fund raising campaign 🤣 sue Lee 2 – this time she means it! I can't stand Lee Anderson, but let's be honest, Jack's lost all credibility. Where's the last fund raising money Jack? Oh yeah, you 'donated' it to charity but will not provide any proof
If Boris Johnson simply said he had "bad mentals" would you stop asking for transparency and justice or is that luxury saved for the likes of Jack Monroe? Google DARVO and educate yourself on what she's trying (and failing) to do here.

Even harder to believe that (on paper) quite a few “Jack Monroe” supporters have (whatever they may now be worth) “degrees”, and professional qualifications in a few cases. As noted previously, few are under 50, few if any are from ethnic minorities (who presumably would never eat “Jack Monroe” swill-food), and few if any are, in a word, poor…

The above newspaper report from an outlet called Wales Online has been the only newspaper, online or offline, to have reported today on “Jack Monroe”. It has done no investigation and simply reports what “Jack Monroe” has chosen to tell it. As journalism, on the lowest possible level of quality beyond actually inventing a story.
The Wales Online “report” mentions that “Jack, who is from Southend-on-Sea, was met with numerous messages of support” on Twitter (and quotes from three tweets) but ignores the dozens if not hundreds of tweets which, today alone, have been critical of “Jack Monroe” and her years of “grifting” and fraud.
Very poor. Written by one Sam Cook, who is described as follows: “Sam is our TV writer and showbiz journalist. Prior to working at WalesOnline, he was previously a video journalist and presenter at Local TV. Over the course of his career, Sam has interviewed several big stars including Michael Sheen, Jodie Whittaker and David Walliams. He is a member of the RTS Cymru Wales committee and currently hosts the podcast, In the Spotlight, for WalesOnline.“
Rock-bottom-level scribbling.
Is “Wales Online TV reporter Sam Cook” somehow acquainted with “Jack Monroe”, apart from this “interview” (if I dignify it with such a term)?
Actually, rereading his piece, it seems to be not even just a one-sided and very poor interview, but simply a retelling of “Jack Monroe’s” own tweets, lifted straight from Twitter and then presented, superficially, as if the scribbler has had an interview with her.
Having said that, I am more interested in the fact that, despite “Jack Monroe” claiming that reporters from “Fleet Street” were ringing her doorbell (in Essex) and looking in the windows, i.e. more or less besieging her house, to the extent that she and her son (who may not even live with her anyway; that seems to be disputed) have had to flee elsewhere, not one major news outlet has reported on “Jack Monroe” today. Not one. Not even the Press pack tabloids such as the Daily Mail or Sun.

Amazing work?
What like?
Jack Monroe only ever talks about her own car crash of a life, her perpetual house move, and performative poverty, with the occasional bit of rhetoric to keep the anti-Tories handing over their cash to her.
The “Laurie Leebody” tweeter is not atypical of Twitter virtue-signallers, who express opinions despite knowing nothing of the subject-matter.
I guess it wasn't your location that recently received a huge donation from Jack Monroe?
She collected a load of cash from people to sue Lee Anderson for libel, but now claims it has been donated – she won't say how much, or where though…https://t.co/Ec3JIbqOai
The weird thing about the whole Lee Anderson/Jack Monroe situation from the point of view of the Twitterati reaction is that hundreds of tweeters expressed disgust at “30p Lee’s” claim that he could make some kind of meal for 30p, yet the same idiotic Twitter-types fawn over “Jack Monroe” and her claim to be able to undercut Lee Anderson and make something for as little as 11p! (both claims seem, to me, to be from Alice in Wonderland home economics).
11p? That’s one or two slices of decent bread (no butter), or a tenth (?) of a packet of cheap pasta (disregarding the cost of cooking it).
Frankly, I doubt whether anything approaching a decent feed can be had for less than, say, 50p, and that would be something like a tin of cheap sardines on toast. Not too bad, though, I suppose.
Martin, I’m politically your opposite in nearly every way, but on this I and the real so-called ‘far left’ actually agree with you – she is a lying, thieving, fraudulent grifter. She harms the left more than anyone.
Wow, look, another ‘critical thinker’! Do you know what a troll is? Going to my bio to ad hominem me & then screaming troll without responding to any of my points is more troll-like than anything I have said here. Seek truth from facts. No investigation, no right to speak. 👋🏼
1. It ain’t defamation if it’s true. You still haven’t answered any of my q’s but just continue to attack me as a person. Threaten me as much as you like, you don’t scare me anymore than the bully @BootstrapCook you’re supporting who actually is being investigated for harassment.
Haha. You are a broken record, ‘Liz’. My account was set up to do a lot of things, including to investigate Jack Monroe & help to expose & end the grift. Now I’m going to write some unpaid copy to some newspapers. Have fun shouting troll & harassment to yourself on you own 👋🏼👋🏼
Tweeter “Liz Ward” is typical of a certain Twitter type. See how she jumps into an existing conversation, insults someone who has noted the lies and scams of “Jack Monroe”, then threatens —stupidly— to “report” tweeter “Reiltin” for “harassment“. A very stupid woman, evidently. Look at her Twitter heading: pro-trade unions (which are a dead letter now), pro-“Black Lives Matter” (i.e. socio-politically idiotic) and pro-NHS (as I am, in principle, but it is not working as presently constituted).
Seems that tweeter “Reiltin” thought that “Liz Ward” is just another “Jack Monroe” “sock account”. Maybe; she has hundreds.
Jack Monroe has a habit of deleting tweets that end up biting her at some point in the future.
Even the judge commented about this in the Katie Hopkins trial, and also referred to Jack as an unreliable witness – what she says can not be trusted. pic.twitter.com/9NZhpOt8zT
“Jack Monroe” is quite obviously now very frightened of having to undergo cross-examination in court, whether by Counsel, a solicitor, or a judge (a judge has the right to ask questions of any witness, though most judges most of the time exercise that right sparingly). “Jack Monroe” is in that respect rather like some of the Jew-Zionists who have targeted me in the past (and continue to do so). They are afraid to testify against me because afraid of what will come out about them.
Jack Monroe – genuine?
There is an entire decade of receipts of her being a vile, abusive, lying, scamming dishonest, and abusive narcissist.

One “Ian Cameron”, another “Jack Monroe” “white knight”…
Ah you accuse me of the very thing Monroe does! Interesting. Is there proof of this harassment? Or death threats? Or proof of where the money went? Because if you like to get forensic, it works both ways. I didn’t say I can’t send you anything either.
I myself have never seen proof of any “death threats” to “Jack Monroe”. That’s just another key on her scam-piano, along with “mental health”, “other health problems”, “her child” (apparently usually lives elsewhere anyway), “activism” (occasional anti-“Tory” tweets), fake/invented “Vimes Boots Index”, “costs of moving house” etc.
You can see how easy it is for people such as “Ian Cameron” to be fooled, totally played, yet that fellow probably considers himself educated, intelligent etc. Look how poor are his reasoning skills.
Thus it is that, as of today, 412 utter mugs are still signed up to Patreon, each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 a month…a “nice little earner”, in the argot of South Essex.
I am not harassing. I donated and just want to know where my money went and why I wasn't offered a refund when she knew she wasn't using it for the reason I donated. That is not harassment.
Why is “Jack Monroe” not being interviewed by Essex Police about her fraudulent activities? Are they too busy seizing “racist” teddy bears?
Louder for those at the back. Jack Monroe is a dirty thief. Years ago she boasted how a partner (one of many who didn’t marry her) had to talk her out of crowdfunding to buy a property. Makes you 🤔 That is the level of entitlement of Jack Monroe. None of this is surprising. https://t.co/yPej8Xeqy7

Hundreds of thousands of non-white migrant-invaders, over the course of a year. The city of Southampton has only about 250,000 inhabitants, so it is akin to importing a city the size of Southampton, or larger, every year. Except that most of the population of Southampton is socially-useful, whereas the migrant-invaders are almost all useless, capable only of doing jobs such as car washing, picking fruit etc (if they would even do that, and if approved to remain in the UK).
The mere parasites are actually the least harmful, when compared to those who are actively criminal or even terroristic.
When one considers that even such a huge number as (?) 250,000 is only a fraction of the overall annual immigration to the UK, which may be as high as a million a year in reality, one sees the scale of the problem.
Yes, a few hundred thousand people also leave the UK annually, mostly British people fleeing the encroaching dystopia, and going to what they hope is a white European milieu in Australia, or New Zealand, or Canada, or retirement is Spain.
Mostly white people leaving; mostly non-whites flooding in.
That still leaves 500,000+ more actual bodies in the UK every year from immigration alone. That’s a city the size of Manchester. Every year.
In fact, even that horror story is not the last word, because the population is also increasing via births, and even now (with 80% of the UK population still white European), the non-white births exceed the white births.
2066? Try 2050 ,or even 2040.

Still, she will now at least have an excuse to drink a vat of booze a day.

In fact, Nadine Dorries is wrong to say that, in effect, her becoming an MP was some kind of groundbreaking event. Many MPs were born in far more poverty-stricken surroundings even than her. One (Conservative Party) MP born into poverty was Cecil Parkinson. When I saw a photo of his early childhood home, I was surprised to find that such a road even existed in this country. I might not have liked him politically etc, but one has to say that his career was stellar, looking at where he was born. Admittedly, he was a high-ranking Freemason, I believe, but that only kicked in later. He was still born and brought up in relative poverty.

“Jack Monroe”
I have blogged quite a bit about “Jack Monroe” over the past 8 months.
Most of us knew this threat was the usual Jack Monroe silly drivel. It just makes the arrogantly aggressive threats and put downs we've read all year from her even more deplorable. Get it sorted!
“Jack Monroe” has been defrauding or otherwise cheating the public for at least a decade.
As I predicted (on the blog) would happen or, rather, not happen, there never was a libel case launched or even formally started against Lee Anderson or Martin Daubney.
Mark Lewis, the Israel-based Jewish lawyer once retained by “Jack Monroe” in another (rather simple) matter years ago, has not even emerged from his kennel in relation to the Lee Anderson non-case.
In other words, crazed “Monroe” simply made up the “libel case” and used it as yet another opportunity to extract money from mugs such as “@jdpoc” (see below).
Incidentally, Dan Wootton calls “Jack Monroe” a “celebrity chef”. Too kind. She is scarcely even a cook, let alone a “chef”. Her food mostly looks like a dog’s dinner and, from what I have read, largely consists of pasta with a bit of cheap sauce on it. She has never been trained as a “chef” or even a cook, as is abundantly obvious from the photos and recipes she used to post online.
“Celebrity”? I suppose, though only in a very minor way, and years ago. She is now pretty irrelevant, and real chefs now offer real budget food online, or in the Press.
The sort of people who regard “Jack Monroe” as a positive force rather than a lying “grifter” are the same sort that used to enthuse, desperately, about the Big Issue being a “really good magazine” rather than just a virtue-signalling bore that people (including me) might buy just as an act of charity.
That “John O’Connell”/”@jdpoc” tweeter is yet another professed “antifascist” with (admitted) mental problems. The idiot used to tweet occasionally, with one or two similarly-“odd” others, against me.
JM used the perfect storm of Lee + Loz to crowdfund £££. Not for justice, it seems, but “my dream home”. Aided by lickspittle @guardian journalists, JM's coffers started to fill – including £10 from a supporter on £69/week carer’s allowance… But the case was never filed pic.twitter.com/QbQ07kczVo
Finally, I couldn't give a monkey's about anything JM has ever said about me. Who cares? Just another gnat on the windscreen. But if she's whipping up a frenzy, and taking money from people for a legal case that never existed, then she surely must answer to them ENDS
I find it puzzling that, even now, some of the more stupid or “woke” scribblers in the msm continue to promote lying “grifter”/fraud “Jack Monroe”. I also find it odd that the police have not investigated her (as far as I know) for criminal fraud. A black woman is facing trial at Bristol for, allegedly, having crowdfunded for a legal case which never happened, and she having then, or so it is alleged, kept the money for herself
Why is the black woman on trial, but Greek Cypriot sort-of “white” woman, “Jack Monroe” (b. Melissa Hadjicostas) is not? Is it “cos the Bristol woman is black“, in the adapted words of “Ali G”? Or is it because “Jack” has so many “woke” and/or LGBTQXYZ friends in the mainstream media?
Almost everything about “Jack Monroe” is fake: her biography (as recounted by herself), her background, her circumstances, her food, her way of life, her “grifting” and moneygrubbing, you name it…

The real hard-line Jews now often tend to be those who, while loudly supportive of Zionism and Israel, do not want to live there. A holiday in Tel Aviv once a year is enough for them, rather like the pilgrimage to Mecca of many Muslims (though the analogy is hardly exact— most Muslims would not be allowed to live in Saudi Arabia anyway, and their religion does not have that as its ideal).
The screeching Jew-Zionist fanatics of London, New York and elsewhere mostly obsess about “antisemitism” on Twitter, or on blogs such as mine, rather than going to “settle” in Israel/Palestine.
Not very long ago, the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK was given over £600,000 by wealthy Jews, many donating anonymously. From where did that money originate? I do not know. The evil “CAA” cabal is now using that money to attack free speech in the UK. Their methods are sometimes called “lawfare”, i.e. the abuse of law, the police, the CPS, and the justice system generally for malicious and/or political motives.
Look at that idiot. Typical of many MPs; so many are, basically, uncultured nobodies these days, without intellect, without culture, without background.

[Daily Mail]
Normally, I would discount anything said by members of the corrupt and dictatorial Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, but in this case the prediction may be accurate, at least in part.
Russia today has no ideology beyond pro forma Great-Russian shadow nationalism and chauvinism, mixed with a pathetic 1930s/1940s pseudo “anti-Nazi” propaganda campaign (re. Ukraine), which campaign fell flat as soon as it was introduced a year or two ago.
In the past (pre-Russian Civil War, and pre-1917/18), there was Tsarism and the Russian Orthodox Church; in the formulation of Pobedonostsev, “Autocracy, Orthodoxy, Nationality” (Правосла́вие, самодержа́вие, наро́дность).
Later, there was Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism, which from the early 1940s mixed elements of the previous “Holy Russia” into the mix. Post-Bolshevik messianism mixed with geopolitical expansionism and the other bits and pieces.
After 1989, Russia and many of its people signed up to Western materialism and the largely but not entirely (of course) fake “liberal democracy” Schauspiel. That, in its very active phase, lasted for only about a decade. The Russian people soon discovered, like the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, that the “freedom” promised by the semi-Americanism under Yeltsin included some unwelcome “freedoms”, such as the “freedom” to be homeless, jobless, cold, and hungry (though, to be sure, Sovietism itself had produced plenty of most of those, especially before the 1960s).
This lack of overarching ideology is Russia’s primary problem, the one which underpins all the others (e.g. the poor morale of the Russian Army and intelligence services).
Russia has to find an ideology which is both intellectually coherent, and able to inspire the Russian masses emotionally.
Looking at the situation now, Russia has only one indisputable trump card— its strategic nuclear arsenal. In all other respects, Russia has few if any cards to play. So far, its military machine has proven so poor that it has had to be stiffened by the mercenary Wagner Group. As for the SVR and GRU, Stalin would have shot half of them by now. The same goes for much of the senior officer corps.
Russia does seem to be reprising its historical role of the “colossus on legs of straw“. Judging from the outside (I have not been there since 2007, and now have no connection with Russian laws, business, or people), it seems to me to have only limited internal stability, though at the same time little significant political opposition to the present Putin government.
I doubt that there will be a split into separate countries, if only because Russians remain one people (albeit with hundreds of minor nationalities alongside), with one language (ditto), and a shared history. What might happen, and has happened since 1991, is increasing autonomy of various far-flung territories.
Ukraine was always almost one country with Russia. The present war is almost a civil war, which may explain its bitterness, and its sometimes barbaric standards.
In the end, Ukraine will probably be devastated and then repopulated with Russian settlers, at least east of the Dnieper. We shall see.
One thing is for sure: if Putin does not do something to break the static situation that now exists in eastern Ukraine, he will follow the Soviet Union and DDR, and Nikolai II, into history, and sooner than he ever imagined.

Reminder that the excellent blog by AwfullyMolly on antics of uber-grifter Jack Monroe is still available to read on the archive of the web. Read it & then see how @LegalGengar is getting on with CCJ that started with being owed £10 and is now around the £600 mark with costs. https://t.co/ngPTbmqfmL
Carol Vorderman is a rather uninteresting careerist “celebrity”, who left university with a third-class degree (which was poor even in the days of the 1970s before award inflation took hold; effectively a fail): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Vorderman#Early_life_and_education.
It might be said that Carol Vorderman is to mathematics what “Jack Monroe” is to cuisine…

I happened to see the YouTube video below: DDR (East Germany) in 1988. I was there in the summer of that year, though in the south of the country, and only for a couple of days. I have blogged before how, though there was no sign of imminent collapse, yet the DDR seemed to be a kind of stage-set of a state rather than a real one. Just impressions here and there.
About 14 months later, in 1989, the whole system collapsed and, in a final irony, the President, Honecker, sought political asylum in Chile, the government of which the DDR had for years called “fascist” etc. I recall having been very amused by that.
Anyone watching such a parade in 1988 would have thought that the display exuded statist stability and permanence. So much for that.
Does our own system in 2023 present even the appearance of stability? I think not. Perhaps the difference is that, in 1988 and 1989, the East German population could look to the West, to —immediately— the wealth and relative freedom of the Bundesrepublik and then, beyond German borders, to the rest of the EC (as the EU then was), and to the Americas.
To what, to where, can our people look for a potentially better life? Nowhere.
Incidentally, here is another DDR ceremony, this one in 1979, utilizing marches that include old German ones and at least one from 1920s Bolshevism (slightly pre-Soviet Union):
The marching steps could also have been seen in both the Second and Third Reich.
I looked today at Amazon. The “Jack Monroe” book Thrifty Kitchen, which bombed on release a couple of months ago, is now no. 26,957 from the top of the bestseller list. This indicates sales of about 160 copies per month at its new reduced price of £8.50 (original price was nearly £20, but that was immediately reduced to £9.99), out of which “Jack Monroe” may be getting between 50p and £1 per copy. New or near-new copies can be had on Amazon for as little as £5.
No wonder that she wants to keep going the Patreon scam, which must still be providing several thousand pounds each month, presumably taxfree as well.
After over a trillion dollars given by global citizens to the #ClimateChange movement, how many rainforests have been replanted? How many rivers have been cleaned of their plastic and rubbish? How many third-world dictators have been forced to give up war and fix the environment?
Another (Chinese?) social control measure. How long before that sort of control arrives in the UK? The police of today, often politically-correct/”woke” automatons, would enforce it— we saw that during the “Covid” “panicdemic” and “scamdemic”.
The similarity between the technocratic authoritarianism of the lockdowns & the anti-car movement is no mere coincidence. ‘The Future of Mobility’, a 2019 government report that championed a ‘behavioural science’ approach to transport policy, was edited by https://t.co/YsbYq6gVi6…
If only that could be a matter of selection, affecting only certain groups.
When blacks say they want to kill all white people, we should believe them. That is not a joke. And how disgusting was that old Jewish lady that was supporting this antiwhite hatred? She was smiling. Every single time!
I propose that both men and women regain our private spaces. As I have been saying for long, the greatest civil rights issue of this century is the right to freedom FROM association. We must be allowed to live without Other/s inserting themselves into our lives by force.
Regardless of the source, the side that maintains abundant, affordable energy will win.
Forcing a premature transition away from fossil fuels is literal economic suicide, not an opportunity.

If you have AI, do you really need project managers and middle managers whose main function is organizing and propagating data through the organizational hierarchy?
Most of what one does, in any given occupation, is a waste of time from the point of view of the individual’s own utility or satisfaction.
For example, it is hardly a new idea that, in many ordinary, modest, occupations, one almost works in order to pay out to be able to work.
Leave aside highly-paid professional or other activity and focus on modestly-paid work (let alone minimum-wage activity). The employee, say an office bod, needs to spend out in order to get clothing for the office, say a few suits.
He (or she) needs to pay out for daily travel (which can be very considerable in cost), for luncheon food (even if only a roll and coffee, which might amount to £10 a day in Central London), and for various other things as well.
All so that the employee can work at all. Then there might be occasional or regular socializing, in which said office bod is more or less expected to participate. The resulting remuneration, after tax and “National Insurance” (more tax), is scarcely enough to do more than pay for the costs of having a job, plus food and basic shelter. Maybe not even that.
Likewise, look at someone who wins on a lottery, say £50,000. People say “like a year’s (or two years) pay” within the usual range in the UK. Not so, though. In terms of real pay, even a relatively modest sum such as £50,000 is huge, because most people, after all their taxes, costs, and expenses, have almost nothing left at the end of a month, or even year.
It’s not ‘puritanical’ to say that everyone should have upheld the most fundamental & universal ethical values we have as a society during the last 3 years.
This was not a great mystery that only a few were capable of solving. It was a basic and obvious test of decency.

A very sad story. It struck me more because, from age 5 to age 10 (late 1961 to early 1967, when my family moved to Sydney, Australia), I myself was a pupil at that school. The outer look of the school is just the same as it was 60 years ago, except for there now being cars parked outside in the road. I lived about a mile away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caversham_Heights.
“Oxfam came under fire last night for issuing a bizarre ‘inclusive’ language guide to staff.
The 92-page report warns against ‘colonial’ phrases such as ‘headquarters’, suggests ‘local’ may be offensive and says ‘people’ could be patriarchal.
Workers were told ‘parent’ is often preferable to ‘mother’ or ‘father’, terms such as ‘feminine hygiene’ should be dropped, and ‘people who become pregnant’ should be used instead of ‘expectant mothers’.
Nigel Mills, Tory MP for Amber Valley, added: ‘It’s as though Oxfam are trying to take the word ‘woman’ out of the dictionary – it’s nonsense.’
And Toby Young of the Free Speech Union said it was ‘hard to take all this woke virtue-signalling seriously’ given Oxfam was censured for the way it handled reports that staff sexually exploited children after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.“

More of this now-almost-ubiquitous nonsense. When are the British people going to get angry enough to do something about it? Or are they only angry at stuff like the possibility that ignorant know-nothing Gary Lineker might be sacked from his £1M-£2M a year BBC sinecure “job”?
In the (?) Northern English phrase, some people don’t know what day it is.
Right on cue. More woe. How is this so on the weekend of Mothering Sunday?
This is a new low for Jack the Food Killer, she urgently needs medical help, that's a fact. Just not the type she is claiming she needs #jackmonroepic.twitter.com/PJAsq1j1H2
I expect that some mugs, such as tweeter “Norma Joones”, will send the fraudulent conwoman more money now…
Jack Monroe Bootstrapcook now desperately trying a new sympathy angle after her fraud collapses. Self printed questionnaires to try and scam people that she's got a medical condition. LIAR. https://t.co/K3f8itmS1F
“Jack Monroe” is just an out and out fraud. She has in fact tried this on (but referencing a number of other supposed medical conditions) over the years.
Incredibly, as of today, 481 utter mugs (up 2 on last week) aresending her a total of thousands of pounds each month via Patreon alone. So long as they continue to do that, “Jack Monroe” can ignore the fact that she is now exposed (to all but complete idiots and naifs) as a fraudster and near-fraudster (“grifter”), and also ignore the fact that her pathetic recent book bombed, together with her one-time TV career.
Honestly, it’s just tragic how anyone would believe this person anymore. Can’t brush her hair or use cutlery except a spoon but 9 days ago was able to make holes in tin cans using a screwdriver. Make it stop! Jack monroe bootstrap cook pic.twitter.com/ZyxUHKpl2B
I suppose that she has got away with her frauds so far because they are in a legal grey area (except for the “sue Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney” crowdfunder scam, which may yet have criminal-legal consequences).
Jack Monroe is back and "ill" again. Her medical file must be the same weight as her ego.
It seems this vimes boots index is yet another thing that Jack Monroe has centered herself in, absorbed a load of kudos and PR, but presented nothing after over a year of talking about it.
Typical Twitter. Look at that Simon Winterburn tweeter, complete with facemask! What an idiot…did he buy it from grifter “NHS doctor” and facemask seller, Julia Grace Patterson? Also, where is his Ukrainian flag?
As said, typical Twitter. Someone who actually has no knowledge of the facts, yet passionately and angrily attacking those who have presented huge amounts of direct evidence against “Jack Monroe”. I suppose that the Simon Winterburn tweeter supports “Jack Monroe” because her chosen Twitter persona (when it suits her) is “anti-Tory”, as with other notable Twitter “grifters”, among them Julia Grace Patterson, “@Supertanskiii” etc.
Just imagine— many people (at least on Twitter) see Mhairi Black as a future leader of Scotland! Clueless. Also, why are so many Scottish female politicians lesbians?

Carl Benjamin (“Sargon of Akkad”) may be right insofar as empires often result in movements of population, but is wrong to think (typically of so many today) that it is a question of “rights”, when it is simply a question of which race or people is the stronger or strongest.
Only about 5% of the present world population need survive, but it has to be the right 5%.
