Anyone who refuses to see that all major British institutions are, in the phrase of the soldiery, “going to ratshit” is deluded, or self-deluding. Look at any institution and say that such is not the case. The monarchy. The Church of England. The Bar of England and Wales. The Army. The Navy. The university system and degree system. The police. The court system. The criminal justice system. The NHS. Social care for the elderly. You name it.
After Gaza, any formulaic and System-encouraged herd-sympathy for Jews as a collective whole, or for Israel, has ceased to exist. It has become an absurdity.
This Trotsky-esque tactic from the government and media labelling everything that is in opposition to them as “far right” for years has created a fearful and compliant population whose logic has completely been thrown out of the window.
Exactly. “They” always seek apologies, as a way of humiliating and stamping on us. Never ever “apologise” to “them”, even if you have pleaded not guilty in court but have been found guilty.
I stood alone in court and uttered not one word of “apology” to the evil cabal behind the prosecution/persecution, nor to anyone else, a fact remarked upon by the district judge. Well, I am still here, my blog remains, and has been published throughout (even during the year-long process of prosecution, trial, sentencing and punishment).
No-one should plead guilty in any “free speech” trial. No-one should weasel to “them”. Not ever.

Incidentally, that YouGov poll would translate to about 342 Reform MPs, and a good majority in the Commons (Lab 87, LibDems 71, SNP 45, Green 38, Cons 29).
On the basis of that poll, the Con Party would be only the 6th-largest party in the Commons; near-irrelevant. Looks as though Dan Hodges has a lot of heavy lifting to do…

Seems that the danger of attack from the Kiev regime has diminished.
Having said that, I read that France intends to send no less than 100 Rafale fighters to boost the Kiev regime’s order of battle in the air. If so, pretty close to an act of war by France (i.e. by Macron).
On the other hand, Russia has ~900 fighter aircraft, many of advanced design, whereas the Rafale dates from designs of the late 1970s.
It seems that the 100 planes being sent would be delivered over 10 years, and that the date for initial delivery has not yet been determined. Also, it takes up to 3 years to train the pilots, and Russia may well have won the war by then.

Some years ago, I realized that “nothing works properly any more” in the UK, and both tweeted (when I was still on Twitter, i.e. until 2018) and blogged about it. Others probably came to a similar realization at about the same time.
Since then, political activists, including Reform UK people such as Farage and Matt Goodwin, among many others, have taken up the refrain. In fact, it is now heard everywhere.
I encountered a “small” (but telling) example yesterday.
In the past, meaning until a year or two ago, doing some minor transaction in a bank was simple. You went in, there were several cashiers (or, in the American usage, tellers) there, you did your business and left. Easy. Now? For one thing, in the UK, you cannot simply pay a small sum in cash into someone else’s account. Oh, no, that might facilitate “money-laundering” (we are told), so you have to go through the slightly tedious process of paying the said sum into your own account, then transferring the money into the account of that other person.
Now, the banks have found other ways to make life difficult for their own customers. On entering the bank branch in question, one of only two left in the high street of my local small town, I saw the branch fairly crowded —usually, there are only one or two people there (and one cashier, where there used to be three or four).
Anyway, I paid in a modest sum to my own account via a machine. That went OK, but then I had to get the sum transferred to the destination account. That used to mean approaching someone sitting behind a desk. They would then do what was necessary in about a minute. Now? Oh, no, far too easy…
Some drone with a name-tag round his neck (one of several seen hanging about yesterday) approached me with an electronic tablet of some kind, and informed me that customers now had to “sign in” with their names… I gave him my name. He entered it on his device. He then informed me that there were 4 or 5 people ahead of me, and would I like to take a seat and wait… I had no time to waste, so gave up the idea and walked (maybe stomped) out.
What is this utter CRAP all about? The drone in question (not one of the usual staff, so obviously bussed in, with others, for this display of pointlessness) had asked me whether I do online banking. In other words, the banks want people to go online (only) and are making it awkward to do even the simplest things in person at a branch.
One small example of how everyday life in the UK has become —has been made— increasingly awkward, difficult, fraught. There are countless others, and the aim seems to be to reduce the individual to a number and a password on a screen, a kind of virtual (in either sense) serf, in short.
What I experienced yesterday was an example of deliberately “nudging” bank customers to go away and go online. The branch (in fact, all branches) can then be shut down, closed, sold off, the few remaining staff made redundant, and the quite grand building sold to become, probably, a bar or bistro.
Incidentally, opening hours have also been reduced; the branch is now open only 0930-1530.
Anyone who replies that bank opening hours were always about 6 hours a day misses the point that, as late as 1970, only 25% of British people even had a bank account (true, believe it or not).
The general dissatisfaction with UK society (and, so, politics) is not only fuelled by the black/brown migration invasion, or by other big issues being appallingly-incompetently —or deliberately-badly— handled, but by the fact that everyday life is now bedevilled by pointless, time-consuming, and utterly inflexible procedures and protocols, the aim of none of which is to help the individual, and still less to serve him.
Simply appalling. This is what the pro-Israel Jews (numbering, according to the Jewish Zionist propagandists themselves, about 95% of all Jews in the UK at least), and pro-Israel non-Jews, are supporting.
In the end, whether you call it “genocide” (which it obviously is) or not is an academic argument. The fact is that the behaviour of the Israeli Jews has been more than appalling. Inhuman. The behaviour of “the simulacrum of the human“, in fact.
Over the past 2 years, 200,000+ Gazan Arabs, mostly civilians, mostly women and children, slaughtered or grievously injured (amputations, blinding etc), as against 1,000-2,000 Jews killed or captured by Hamas operatives on one day or two days in 2023 (many of which victims were in fact killed by Israeli forces operating a scorched-earth or free-fire protocol).
That is even before you consider the pathological behaviour of the Israeli Jews, killing —and deliberately killing— or deliberately crippling, children (etc).
One group, spread across the world, and particularly the “Western” world, is the main enemy of humanity and its future. It is not the Muslim, or even Islamist, element, whatever their own flaws.
Israel is pushing Gazans to move to central and southern Gaza, the areas it claims are ‘safe.’

The whole basis of the question is wrong. Meaning, what is the definition of “racist” anyway, and does anyone (outside the Labour Party or the msm) give a monkey’s flying ****?
Speaking of “racism”…
Every single one of Mr Lammy's historical analogies is factually incorrect. https://t.co/rxB3rAC25Q
Lammy is entirely ignorant, and as thick as two short planks.

What does it say about our society that a stupid ignorant creature such as Lammy is now “Deputy Prime Minister” and also joke “Justice Secretary” and “Lord Chancellor”, as well as being a Bencher of my old Inn of Court, Lincoln’s Inn, at which I myself am now persona non grata (by reason of having been disbarred at the instigation of a pack of conspiratorial Jews), and am without position or rank?

Also, the numbers involved are utterly trivial compared to the current numbers of real illegal migrants arriving from France. I very much doubt that the Dublin Convention, if it were still in force, would be used to return more than a handful of these interlopers.
[“Keir Starmer claims Nigel Farage is to blame for the boat people because Brexit took us out of the Dublin Convention (in 2020), which allowed us to return asylum seekers to the EU countries from whence they came. The PM is either ignorant of the facts — or knowingly lying. Neither is a good look. The Dublin Convention was a two-way street for asylum seekers. Yes, we could try to return them. But others could also be returned to us. As a result the Dublin Agreement actually made us a net recipient of asylum seekers. Take 2018. We made 5,500 requests for asylum seekers to be returned. Only 209 transfers were agreed. In the same year, under the same convention we accepted 1,215 asylum seekers. So we were net recipients by over 1,000. The Dublin Convention did nothing to make it easier to return asylum seekers. Nearly all politicians are cavalier with the truth when it suits them. But Starmer is taking this to a new level.“]

Those (mainly in and around the Labour Party) who talk glibly about “improved processing“, “safe and legal routes” etc (for migrant-invaders) prefer to ignore (or do not even know) that, under the present laws and structures, as many as 800 million migrant invaders might have a “legally valid” claim to asylum in the UK. 800 million!

She was living largely off her House of Lords taxfree allowances and expenses, and a few TV appearances, for quite a while, but then met some very wealthy business parasite and married him.
Notice how the Jew Miliband refers to “our communities“. He is still pushing the deluded ideas about happy shiny multikulti “communities” in a happy shiny raceless cultureless Britain (in a similar Europe).
As for him telling Elon Musk to “get the hell out of ‘our country!” , the British people are shouting that, not at Elon Musk but at, among others, the migrant-invaders and the cosmopolitan parasites, including those bankrolling Starmer-stein.

Yet another poll has Reform UP after calling to scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain and put British people first
You only have to look at the recent Labour Party Conference to see how utterly isolated the present government and its unthinking, corralled supporters are. Labour is around 20% in the polls, and at least half of those intending Labour voters, maybe as high as three quarters, are actually not really British at all. Blacks and browns, so to speak.
My own assessment is that the (real) English/British people have pretty much given up on the Labour Party. That, however, is also true of the Conservative Party, surprisingly up slightly to 20% in that poll, but as low as 14% in some others.
I was talking to an elderly lady who lives in one of the most solid Conservative Party strongholds in the South of England. Apparently, all the other elderly people she knows, almost all of whom who used to vote Con (the odd LibDem too), are now determined to vote Reform when they can; all of them.
Anecdotal, yes, but a straw in the wind that seems to mirror the opinion polls of the past 9-12 months.
As I wrote yesterday. Starmer is now radioactive. Any policy he announces now generates a huge public backlash simply because it’s seen as being his policy. https://t.co/VF1JyrZ1Zg
[“So many people have argued with me online about Digital ID “What do you have to be afraid of, if you are not a criminal?” “It will be convenient and is only for interacting with government departments” Yet, here it is: on the Gov website in the UK. They have explained it in advance. This will be linked to all areas of your life. If you ignore this now, you can never go back to the life you have today. Take a stand against Digital ID.“]
I have blogged about all this, years ago. My point was that, at first at least, it will not be compulsory to hold digital ID. As with smartphones, computers, online this and that, you will not exactly be forced to comply. It is just that everyday life will become impossible without all that. Life is already difficult without smartphones, online access etc, but you can still just about do it, though only at the (literal) expense of paying more for less. In the near future, you will pretty much have to drop out of society if you do not wish to go along with the tide.
Starmer has gone further yet, in saying that he wants to make digital ID mandatory. Perhaps he has given away the game by speaking openly about this aspect of the overall conspiracy, and the System will now revert to slowly making life impossible without it, that is until a better opportunity arises to make the entire population digital serfs on pain of imprisonment or death (eg by the withholding of food or medical care —you may be unable to buy food unless you have the digital ID, you may be refused medical treatment etc).
I am pleased to sign @RupertLowe10’s letter to Keir Starmer against Digital ID.

This country has become a bad joke.
Keir Starmer is now generating his own sort of political Streisand Effect. A majority of voters agree with him that Reform’s policies are racist. But as soon as he starts attacking them over it, they get a bump in the polls. https://t.co/YqbjwfmewE
Ha ha! I love the way that these phenomena are looked at either with bemusement or frustration by so many msm scribblers and talking heads. They, many of them, simply cannot understand that many, perhaps most, (real) British people are angry and disappointed with the old parties of the System, and so are ready to vote Reform.
If Reform takes power and fails, those same voters will vote social-national, many of them, if a social-national party arises. The “Overton Window” is moving, and fast, as fast as the country slides to dystopian chaos.
Reform may or may not get beyond 35% in the polls by the time of the next general election, it may even stick at about 30%, but if Lab and Con are stuck around 20%, Reform wins, handsomely. “In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king“, after all.

I have only ever met one person who has been to Vorkuta, and his was an involuntary visit that lasted for many years; a Pole sent there as a young man, I think in or about 1940, along with many others. I believe that he somehow survived a decade there, and was eventually repatriated to his family in Bielsko-Biala, south-west Poland. Maybe about 65 when I met him and his family in 1988, he was a bit of a tough guy, and he must indeed have been tough, in more youthful days, to survive for 10 years as a prisoner and slave-labourer in Vorkuta.
Looking at that film (above), I am again struck by the harshness and brutality that humans can inflict on each other, but also by the incredible resilience and ability to create that humans have.
Vorkuta, like other cities in inhospitable areas and harsh climates (Magadan, Norilsk etc) which were wholly a product of the Stalinist period of the Soviet system (Vorkuta did not exist even as a hamlet until the 1930s), had at one time (1960s, 1970s, 1980s) a real city life, with a railway station, buses, an airport, a city theatre, hospitals, cinemas, sports centres, even a symphony orchestra; also, some fairly impressive-looking official buildings.

Vorkuta had, at one time, 115,000 inhabitants. The real population is now thought to be well below 50,000, perhaps as low as 30,000.
My point is that civilization is not a simple continuum. Rudolf Steiner, Valentin Tomberg etc have described human evolution as a staggered spiral. There can be breaks in the spiral. Civilizations or cultures arise, but also decay and disappear. Amazing places can be created and built out of “nothing”, but those same places can fall to pieces and disappear even from memory and/or from recorded history.
The beautiful city of St. Petersburg was created from swamp and forest by the vision, in origo, of one man, Peter the Great, and still exists, now with millions of inhabitants (it is commonly said to be the 4th or even 3rd-largest city in Europe, depending on whether Istanbul is accepted as European). On the other hand, famous Sparta left almost nothing behind it but memories become history. Troy was, for many centuries until its site was rediscovered in the 19thC, thought to be not even legendary but mythical. New York City was created from “nothing”, from the 17thC onward, and still exists, yet the huge cities which once existed in Mexico and Central America and elsewhere have either disappeared or been supplanted (as at Mexico City) by very different successors.
Vorkuta was built on brutality and suffering, but then so was Petersburg…
The world, particularly Europe but also the Middle East, North America, Russia, stands in peril from massive and probably nuclear war. The cities of the West and Centre of Europe also stand in peril from internal strife caused mainly by migration invasion by backward hordes from other parts of the world. Our present overall culture and civilization may not survive the 21st Century, not in their current forms.
We should all be thinking about these matters and about how to salvage as much as possible of our present advanced culture and civilization, should that become necessary.

Two-tier justice?
No, no, it’s much worse than that.
It’s actually quite efficient: one tier for approved demographics, and a guillotine for the rest of us.
The Bar is riddled with traitors. I should know; until a pack of Jews procured my (wrongful and actually unlawful) disbarment in 2016, I myself was a barrister, and saw how corrupt and also stupid the whole system is.
The Bar of England and Wales is now, more or less, a dustbin.

[“The underlying discontent among rebellious and even loyal Labour MPs stems from what many would say is a pathetically late discovery: that what’s driving so much government policy is Rachel Reeves’s fiscal rules and the absolute power of the Office for Budget Responsibility in determining whether she is breaching those rules or not. Any illusion that this isn’t the single most important driver of government decision-making was shattered today by the revealed contradiction between its establishment of a supposedly fundamental review led by disabilities minister Stephen Timms to shape new criteria for awarding Personal Independence Payments, while nonetheless sticking with the contradictory stipulation that from November next year no one will be eligible for PIP if they don’t score four points on one of PIP’s existing criteria. It is absurd and illogical to characterise Timms’s review as the face of humane reform while simultaneously saying that this new four-point rule based on existing criteria will willy-nilly come into effect next year. So what’s really going on? The work and pensions secretary’s unspoken reason for sticking to the four-point reform is that without it, and under the OBR-assessed fiscal rules, Reeves would have to fill a £5bn hole in her finances in the autumn’s budget, and not the £2.5bn hole created by Kendall’s partial welfare-reform climb down. That is a big difference when it comes to any taxes Reeves may have to raise or any spending she may have to cut. So a growing number of Labour MPs see this subservience to the OBR and the fiscal rules as just the stupidest motivation for making today’s decisions that affect the lives of the most fragile of UK citizens – decisions that will, on the government’s own calculations, shift 150,000 vulnerable people into poverty. These MPs were bitten once by the OBR dog when Reeves chose to means-test the winter fuel allowance as proof of her fealty to the OBR’s jurisdiction over her own fiscal rules. With the disability reforms, many of them now feel twice shy. They don’t ask why a Labour government respects the OBR, especially after the Truss/Kwarteng fiscal debacle caused by their disrespect for the OBR. But they do question why the Chancellor and Treasury endow the OBR with an almost mystical ability to determine which policies are sensible and why Reeves has seemingly abdicated responsibility for trying to sell the government’s initiatives to the country’s creditors independently of the OBR and fiscal rules straitjacket. So whatever the outcome of the vote tomorrow on the welfare reforms, Reeves and Starmer are now under enormous pressure – probably irresistible pressure – to lose their OBR religion.“]
That bastard Timms again…
I think that people are generally awakening to the fact(s) that this is only a Labour government in terms of label. Labour-label. In reality, a Labour Friends of Israel government (misgovernment).
If the worst happens, this is the team who make the declaration as to whether the UK mainland is under a missile attack
🔴 In a rare tour of the early-warning radar at RAF Fylingdales, @robhastings witnesses the crew complete a very realistic training exercise pic.twitter.com/ft50cJJn9e
In any case, were there ever a real military attack from (presumably) Russia (a conflict with which would be mad from the UK point of view— it would finish this country forever, probably), one of the first places to be attacked and eliminated (possibly by Spetsnaz attack, prior to the launch of any missile) would be Fylingdales itself.
On the wider aspects, while those working in such establishments may be fed the line that they are protecting the UK from attack and/or invasion, the reality is that the UK society those soldiers think they are protecting is decaying from within, and being invaded daily by literally thousands of migrant-invaders, both “legally” and “illegally”, and by births to non-white mothers within the UK.
UK society is changing, and being poisoned, before our very eyes.

The euro is above 1.14, trading at its highest level in over three years. The dollar has lost 5.5% of its value against the euro since Liberation Day. That means buying European imports will now cost Americans 15.5% more. 10% for the tariffs and 5.5% due to dollar depreciation.
…meaning that only the wealthier Americans will be buying imports from the EU (that is largely the case anyway, of course).

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face.
Conservative Friends of Israel drone Gove, drunk and on cocaine at Westminster. A total enemy of the people; he should be punished, not rewarded.
One of the 5 tweets that (after the Jewish lobby pushed for it) got me disbarred in 2016 was that calling Gove a snivelling expenses cheat in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby. True facts. I (like most people) was unaware at that time (around 2012) that Gove was also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser.
Another of those 5 tweets was that calling Nicolas Sarkozy a corrupt little Jew. I was partly wrong there (he is only a half-Jew). Sarkozy has of course now been found guilty in a French court of corruption, alongside other Jews.
All my famous or (according to the Jewish lobby) infamous “5 tweets” (posted online between 2010 and 2014) have now been proven to have been true in almost every particular.
Incidentally, in more recent years, the Bar Standards Board wrote to me inviting me to have the disbarment annulled and a “rehearing” take place, mainly because I should never have been tried by a 5-person panel but only by a 3-person panel (which would have had no power to disbar), but I declined, partly because I was already well over 60 and unlikely to resume Bar practice, partly to show my contempt for the Bar (which is now a craven, multikulti dustbin afraid of its own shadow and especially the shadow of the Jewish/Israel lobby).
In other words, had I taken up that suggestion, I should by now have been reinstated as both barrister and —perhaps more useful to me— as a member of Lincoln’s Inn (a pleasant place for a lunch or dinner when in London). Still, I have no regrets, none of importance anyway.

Not (yet) quite the view I have been putting on the blog for the past three years, i.e. Russia to take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, as well as a wide coastal strip from the Dnieper as far as a point west of Odessa. Kiev and Odessa to be free cities (either autonomous or jointly-controlled). The rest of Ukraine west of the Dnieper to be ruled by a Ukrainian administration based in Lvov.
I think that the above formulation by me would be fair, and could form the basis for a lasting, if not very friendly, peace.
The Kellogg plan is frankly not as good as mine. It involves British and French forces effectively working with those of the Kiev regime on the ground, and has every likelihood of entangling the Western forces in conflict with Russia, directly.
Russia will never accept that plan anyway.
In any case, from the British point of view, why should we be involved at all? Ukraine has only been a supposed state for 34 years, and Britain has no historical connection with Ukraine, nor any national interest in getting directly involved.
The bottom line, though, is that Russia will never accept such a plan.
[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“

Have told you Russia is the aggressor. And that Ukraine is a Democracy?
At a general election, that would translate to about 221 Reform UK seats (Lab 181, Con 121, LibDem 66 etc), so a Reform UK minority government, presumably reliant on Con
The more I think about it, the less I believe that any but a few will vote for the Con Party, especially now that it is headed by a Nigerian carpetbagger. Kemi Badenoch, “Carpetbagger Kemi”.
Most people, even after decades of brainwashing in schools, the msm etc, still want the UK Prime Minister to be properly British, i.e. white Northern European.
Seems that the “Conservatives” learned nothing from having been ruled by the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.
Also, where do “Conservative” policies markedly differ from those of Starmer-Labour?
Wrong. Brexit did not put mass uncontrolled low skill immigration on steroids. Elites did.
We can radically change the direction of this once great country by changing the elite. https://t.co/rPq93StZNV
For those saying Britain needs immigration to solve the birthrate problem, evidence exists to the contrary. Mass immigration directly harms the birthrate. More immigration will only continue the decline. https://t.co/Ig70hgYR37pic.twitter.com/X2Ja7s9lfD
…and tweeter “Elizabeth Chandler” should learn to spell before she tries to use big words to appear well-informed! (it’s “exponentially“, not “expidentialy“…).
Pseudo-“Conservative” greaseball Fraser Nelson is another total finance-capitalist, globalist, multikulti, puppet. One of the worst influences (and/or influencers) in the UK’s corrupt political and journalistic milieux.
I had not seen anything from that grifting loonie for a couple of years, as far as I can remember. She tweeted, earlier today, that anyone in the UK who did not (her word) “hate” Elon Musk had an IQ below room temperature. Well, while I myself do not agree with everything Musk says or does, I probably agree more than disagree, and my IQ was once (admittedly 40 years ago) measured at 156— I think that it probably stacks up well enough even today against that of grifting political idiot “Supertanskiii” (though one can almost admire someone who has made a living for years doing little but swearing online at “the Tories“, albeit that she has also been able to get State monies via the benefits system).
I have not heard so much from that kind of online pseudo-political “grifter” recently.
Fraudulent fake “cook”, “Jack Monroe”, has been comprehensively exposed and become obscure (I doubt that her rubbish ever appears in newspapers or major magazines any more); that Jewish fraud from Essex calling himself “Man Behaving Dadly”, Simon-something (Harris?), has apparently disappeared too, he having conned naive Essex County Council out of over £600,000.
Others have also seen their brief time of influence ebb away, such as non-practising medical doctor and facemask purveyor, Julia Grace Patterson. That one has now, it seems, almost given up trying to make money out of online “grifting”, and has not tweeted since November 2024, though she remains on the pathetic “Blue Sky” site, and has most recently (late 2024) been flogging Christmas cards online (while still pretending to be an active NHS doctor and health “activist”).
As I predicted a year ago, those sort of pseudo-political fake “activists” have found that their modus operandi of pretending to be tribunes of the people against the (admittedly) wicked “Tories” cuts little ice now that the said “Tories” have been replaced by a fake “Labour” government as bad as, or worse than, the “Conservatives” they replaced.

The British Tory party's 'realignment', in 2019, was based on having 75% of Brexit/culturally conservative voters.
Today? They only have 29%. This is what matters when you ignore your own voters.

The tipping point may have been reached for Reform UK, and also for the once-great Conservative Party. Only time will tell. It is natural for people to assume that large political organizations, states, religions etc go on for ever. Not so.
Having seen a bit of what happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when socialism died across Europe and elsewhere, I know that large structures can indeed collapse rather unexpectedly, albeit after long periods of slow preparatory weakness.
When you look at who votes or intends to vote Conservative now, you are really looking, mainly looking, at retired people or people close to retirement.
People who have seen Britain, certainly British cities and towns, turn from being white (i.e. British) to being largely black and brown (etc).
People who have seen large social and economic enterprises (water supply, railways, telephone system, bus network, Royal Mail etc), whatever faults they had, become often unresponsive and failing private-profit bodies.
People who have seen the great institutions of the State fail, and continue to fail, badly— police, courts, judges, legal system, prisons, NHS, border control, immigration control, Army, Navy, Air Force. Civil Service. Royal Family too. All useless, or rapidly becoming so.
What is the rotting head of that failure? The political system, Parliament, MPs, and the now-ludicrous House of Lords.
So when those people go to vote, how will they vote, those disenchanted, angry, let-down people, especially those aged 50+? Not for Labour, which (as I said on the blog for years) has become mainly the party of the “blacks and browns” and in general those dependent on the State for money and/or employment. Only the naive and fairly comfortably-off, in certain places, vote LibDem.
Conservative MPs mismanaged the UK for 14 years 2010-2025. Huge immigration, including the continuing “small boats” invasion. NHS failures. The “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Much else besides.
The only reason many older people stuck with the Conservative Party was the State Pension “triple lock”. Then the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, reneged on that (for one year), though he reinstated it the following year. I think that that badly damaged trust.
In my judgment, things are now so bad in the UK and, importantly, seen to be getting worse, and rapidly, that many are willing to leave their old habits and loyalties behind, and to vote Reform. By no means only former Con Party voters. Labour ones too. Look at the case of Lee Anderson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Anderson_(British_politician).
So who is really going to vote “Conservative” in 2028 or 2029? I should say mainly those who are old or very old, who are set in their ways and in their habitual loyalties and, of those, who are fairly comfortably-off in their retirement, and whose local areas have not (yet) been badly-affected by migration-invasion etc.
I do not think that msm commentators have quite factored-in the significance of the Con Party now having a non-white leader. Yes, not the first one, but then look at Sunak’s electoral meltdown.
I would have put that middle-aged/elderly Con-voting group, and or with others willing to vote Con, as adding up to somewhere around 20% of the voting population (General Election 2024— 23.7%) but now I am inclined to think that, by 2028/2029, it may be as low as 15%. On that basis, the Conservative Party may be at the end of the line.
Using Electoral Calculus, and with Con 15%, Labour 25%, LibDem 15%, Greens 10%, and Reform UK 30% (its likely maximum), that would result in a House of Commons with 330 Reform MPs, 163 Lab, 72 LibDem, 20 Con, 4 Green (etc). Reform Commons majority.
Were Reform to get a lesser vote (25%), the result would change to Reform 220, Lab 208, LibDem 76, Con 49 (etc). Still no comfort for the Con Party; only fourth party in Commons.
The Conservatives would have to get 20% overall even to stay where they now are (121 seats). I doubt they will do it.

That tweeter is the ex-wife of an MP removed last year by the voters. For over three decades, she herself worked for him at Westminster, generously paid out of his Parliamentary expenses. She seems to be pro-immigration, pro-Israel, and anti-Russian, inter alia. Seems to be rather bitter in several ways. She is also wrong in most of her (evidently strongly-held) political judgments.
Certainly, so far as the Ukraine situation is concerned, Russia will not accept NATO forces there, even if under “peacekeeping” auspices. Anyway, contrary to that tweeter’s assertion, Russia need not accept any such forces. Russia is, slowly, winning, advancing daily in most parts of eastern Ukraine.
The war will conclude once Russia has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Why then would Russia accept “peacekeepers” who would be NATO troops under another label? Not the USA? Not the very weak UK. Not Germany. Once Macron stops trying to grandstand as a latter-day Napoleon, not France, either.
I do agree, overall, with the tweeter mentioned, though, about the CCHQ tweet below:
“Culture” or society does matter, in my view, but very few will look at Kemi Badenoch and think “now that’s the kind of person who should be Prime Minister“…

Senator van Hollen obviously has no idea how Roosevelt ripped off the British Empire in various ways, not least by turning the Caribbean, at the time (pre-1941) pretty much a British lake, into what it later became and still is, basically an American sphere of influence, albeit nominally in co-operation with the UK.

I republish some of my own relevant experiences below:
“Britain’s in decline. Democracy has lost its way. Yes, many would squeal – but it’s no wonder so many of my generation believe it’s time for a dictator: CHARLIE DOWNES offers a provocative view.
Young people in the UK – born, like me, in the 21st century – are constantly told how lucky we are to have ‘freedom’.
To our parents and grandparents, steeped in the baggage of the Second World War, ‘freedom’ is the ultimate democratic right.
But many in Generation Z can see that our ‘free’ society has degenerated into instability and uncertainty.
If ‘freedom’ means being unable to afford a home, to live in overcrowded and overpriced rented accommodation, to work soulless jobs in order to pay sky-high taxes, and to have no sense of belonging or identity, perhaps freedom is not what we need.
So it’s no shock to read that a recent survey commissioned by Channel 4 found that 52 per cent of Britons aged 13 to 27 have lost faith in democracy and would welcome a dictator – a strong leader ‘who does not have to bother with parliament and elections’.
A third of my generation believe ‘the UK would be a better place if the Army was in charge’.
Other polls have found that many of us are likely to back the death penalty, while a Mail on Sunday survey this week found that two-thirds of us favour castrating sex offenders.
These reports have caused much alarm among liberal commentators – for whom democracy and the social contract are sacrosanct.
They don’t want to face the brutal truth that the social contract has been ripped up by a political class that has long refused to put the interests of ordinary British people first, or to deliver on our repeatedly expressed wishes at the ballot box – on immigration, crime, tax and much else.
Drug use, shoplifting and defrauding the state go unpunished. Millions of economically burdensome migrants from places and cultures vastly different from our own are invited in, housed and fed at our expense – and we are attacked and slurred as bigots if we complain.
As for democracy, it’s obvious from the visible decline in our country – which worsened after the 2008 financial crash and which has accelerated under Keir Starmer – that it isn’t delivering the right results.
Our supposed parliamentary rule is either an illusion, an anachronism or, if it does exist, clearly not fit for purpose.
After Labour’s landslide win last summer, it rapidly dawned on many of us who had voted for the first time that we were essentially politically impotent.
Britain is crying out for leadership that can steer the country to safety.
Gen Z’s demands are not unreasonable: fairer taxes, affordable homes, cheaper energy and an end to unlimited immigration.
We ask that everyone contributes their fair share and that crime is properly punished.
We want to trust our neighbours, and talk to them in our own language. We want a sense of identity and belonging.
Which is why, I believe, we now need decisive action: a leader who would declare a state of emergency in response to illegal migration.
Without a strong leader who can reverse deindustrialisation, neoliberal economic policy and mass immigration, our country seems condemned to a future of being riddled with crime, political strife and social unrest.
Yet perhaps, out of this ongoing catastrophe, renewal will come.
History, after all, has a way of throwing up great men or women when the hour calls for them.
…young people in particular recognise that political leaders of all parties have made an abysmal mess of running things. No wonder so many believe it’s time for a radical alternative.
It sounds drastic – because it is drastic.
But otherwise we all face the continued rule of grey, miserable politicians with grey, miserable ideas, dragging us towards disaster.
Of course, if people lack shelter, clothing, warmth, food, other needs and/or wants, then “freedom”, let alone the existing form of supposed “democracy”, will not seem of the most pressing importance.
One has to wonder why the Daily Mail is allowing such views, those of this Charlie Downes, to be blasted so explosively on its pages. It seems to me that the main reason is that the Conservative Party is as good as dead among the vast majority of the electorate, and the Labour Party is in a similar condition except that it is still psychologically embedded in the mentality of the voters of much of the North of England and, also, most of the blacks and browns vote Labour en masse, and they are now 20% of the whole electorate, much more in the great cities.
Labour support among white people (the people formerly known as British) is no more than about 10% (at most), in reality. Maybe only 5%.
The Daily Mail’s owners, and others, now look for a party neither socialist nor national socialist/social nationalist but which may capture mass support. Reform UK.
A quasi-dictatorial period may be necessary in the UK, but only if the policies are those I have promulgated on the blog over the past 8 years. Basically social national policies. Anything else is useless and wrongheaded.

Britain gave birth to liberalism, after all, so in a way this would be quite a fitting end. The other is one in which a new, daring elite forgoes all niceties and brings order to the British Isles. Perhaps we are seen as a pariah state for a while, having gone to war with modern liberalism — but when all is said and done, our nation is secure. I know which one I prefer.”

“The Conservative Party remains in complete denial. It thinks Reform will soon disappear and voters will forget the Tory years of broken promises and national decline. When will the once great party of Churchill and Thatcher wake up and draft a plan to put its house in order? The country still hasn’t been given even the beginnings of an explanation for why the party failed so comprehensively in the painful years of May, Boris, Truss and Sunak. Losing 251 MPs didn’t do the trick. Reform overtaking the Conservative Party in membership and opinion poll strength hasn’t shaken Badenoch or her throwback shadow cabinet. Even an exodus of donors has provoked little signs of life or resolve. The top tier of the party still thinks they’re the natural party of govt and that Labour unpopularity will eventually restore sense to the vast bulk of former Tory voters. Most Tory commentators are going along with this complacency. The lack of urgency and the modesty of Badenoch’s first 100 days really shocks me. I am beginning to contemplate that the party’s decline might be terminal.“

“Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy’s claim that “the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years.” ” The roots of this friendship go back to the foot of the Egyptian pyramids? Why so little? They even hunted brontosauruses together ,” Zakharova joked.
During a visit to Kiev, David Lemmy stated that “Kiev princesses were marrying British princes” a thousand years ago.”
Lammy personifies the old Russian proverb, “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“…(incidentally, that proverb was not originally meant to reference blacks, because there were none in Russia until the 20thC and even today they are few; it was basically metaphorical).
Here is “diversity-hire”, thick-as-two-short-planks, Lammy making a fool of himself once again, this time on Celebrity Mastermind:
Ha ha! Evergreen…
Incidentally, Ukraine only became a nominally independent state in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its entire previous history was as part of the Russian state or its predecessor, Rus, though parts of Western Ukraine were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.
Lammy is a total embarrassment as Foreign Secretary, but Starmer cannot easily sack him, having appointed him. Why? Because he is black. Simply that.
“The NHS has advertised almost a dozen ‘woke‘ jobs within the last few weeks, including one equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) role paying almost £123,000, MailOnline can reveal.
The recruitment drive comes days after Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned diversity and inclusion in the NHS has gone too far with some staff now promoting ‘anti-whiteness’ within the health service.
The Associate Dean with responsibility for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion role, advertised by NHS England, is based in the South West and comes with a salary of £122,470.
The salary is equivalent to the entry-level pay of up to three NHS doctors or four nurses.
According to the job description, the successful candidate can work from home 60 per cent of the time and will be responsible for ensuring medical students from different backgrounds have equal opportunities.”
[Daily Mail]
Wrong in every way. In any case, white English/British staff should have greater opportunities, because they are part of the UK’s proper folk-community.
“An asylum seeker from Pakistan has been awarded almost £100,000 after complaining that she was ‘treated like a criminal’ when she overstayed in the UK.
Nadra Almas fought a legal battle against the Home Office to remain in the UK, stating that she would face persecution if she was forced to return home on religious grounds.“
[Daily Mail]
British people find it hard to access peanuts-level State benefits, but a foreign migrant-invader, who entered this country on a fraudulent basis, is given £100,000! She should not even be here! You really could not make up what is happening in this country.
Incidentally, look at the readers’ comments on that Daily Mail report. It is only a thousand or more years of slow accretion of patience, and belief in a society under law, that is preventing a socio-political explosion in the UK (so far).

If you go into a shop in, say, Egypt, a small shop that in the UK (if owned by real British people) would probably have one or two people, maybe three at most, but probably one or two, working there, you will find that the owner has half a dozen people working there, probably related to him in some way. Open long hours, perhaps, and the people there doing little individually. Paid peanuts, of course. Likewise, offices.
I understand that India and other such poor countries are similar.
Non-crime “hate” incidents are, ipso facto, not crimes. If the police continue to be incapable of doing their proper job, and if they continue to behave like a blundering, hopeless, poundshop KGB, snooping on people’s opinions, tweets, blogs etc, they deserve to be, when the UK has a real government, dismissed and put to work as forced labour.
On those figures, the House of Commons might look like this: Reform UK 256, Labour 217, LibDems 78, Conservatives 43, Greens 6 (SNP 19 etc).
That would mean either a weak minority Reform government, or an exceptionally-weak Labour minority government backed by LibDems, SNP and other minor parties.
Arguably the most interesting aspect of the latest polling is the apparent continuing collapse of the Conservative Party (predicted, of course, on this blog). Not only 4th placed, after the LibDems in 3rd, but with little better than half as many MPs as the LibDems.
I read today that CCHQ may be unable to pay the rent on its office building. I would not be surprised to see quite a few Con Party MPs now jump to Reform in the hope of being accepted as candidates for the seats they currently occupy as “Conservatives”. I wonder how many will be deemed acceptable. If they delay too long crossing the line, they may not be accepted.
I was interested to read that article on the Conservative Home website. The comments were 95% or more pro-Reform and anti-Con Party.
“Blimey. Simon Myerson KC chattin’ about other barristers apologising and showing a lack of judgement. A judge decided Myerson engaged in “disgraceful abuse” of me and I’m still waiting for Myerson’s apology. It’s all covered in my next S-stack post out tomorrow. Link in bio.”
[James Wilson]
You will get no “apology” from Myerson. “They” always like to extract “apologies” from their enemies or opponents; they see that as victory (and humiliation for those “apologizing”).
Their instincts are, of course, not those of the European.
As Corbyn noted, years ago, “they” also usually lack a sense of irony, likewise the ability to see themselves.
Myerson was sacked as a p/t judge (“Recorder”) last year for his inability to stop savagely insulting others online. In short, he was found to lack the proper judgment required of those who aspire to sit on the Bench.

Saw two silly twits on Sky News earlier, being interviewed separately. The first was someone called General Shirreff (retired) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff], who thinks that war with Russia is all but inevitable, that the UK should double or triple the amount it spends on armed services in all ways, and that it is essential for the UK to back up “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).
I find it disturbing that an officer previously at such a high rank and with such heavy responsibilities until retirement should actually think that Britain should embroil itself even further in the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev-regime war, and try to confront Russia in Eastern Europe.
Come to that, the UK should also have steered clear of a number of other late-19thC and early 20thC conflicts: the Balkan war(s) of the 1990s, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Libyan uprising.
President Kennedy said, of General Curtis LeMay [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_LeMay], that, in a war requiring an all-out attack, you would want LeMay commanding the first wave of the bomber force, but that he was the last person who should decide whether there should be a war at all. Having heard General Shirreff’s attempt at geopolitical argument, I rather think that that is also my view of General Shirreff.
Any war with Russia would leave what is left of this country, and worth defending, in ruins. Irradiated ruins, over which those of us who survive will crawl in misery. Nein danke!
The said Chalk, who lost his Commons seat in 2024, was briefly Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice under Sunak. My thoughts about him, having now heard him (I was only peripherally aware of his existence, previously) relate more to his ideas about how to fund the justice system than to his actual decisions when in high office. He wants even more cuts to the “welfare” (social security) budget, and for that money to be directed to the courts, legal professions, prisons etc. A rehash of 2010-2015 “austerity” nonsense, in short, but with money given to the legal and justice system (and defence). He seemed a smug bastard, rather full of himself. Again, nein danke!
There comes a point when many people wonder whether we still have much worth “defending”. In fact, I think that many have already reached such a conclusion, which is why recruitment to the armed forces has become a thorny issue. I saw an ad for the Army today, showing an entirely black platoon in the field. Has the Army given up trying to recruit real British people?

Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson getting the law wrong (again)…
On a wider point, that whole traditional rank of “King’s Counsel” or KC should be done away with. Outdated, and now all but meaningless. As an ordinary barrister from 1991 (in practice from 1993) to 1996, and then from 2002-2008, I encountered QCs (as they then were) in court a number of times, and did OK against them quite a lot of the time, if I say so myself. Sometimes they won, sometimes I won.
I believe that about 1 in 6 of practising barristers are now “KC”. In the past, particularly before the Second World War, the proportion was far smaller, partly because those in a position to recommend and/or make the decision were more selective; partly, also, because there were fewer applications, and that was partly because a “KC” then usually had to “lead” a junior (non-KC) barrister, and so cost the lay client 2x, sometimes 3x or more, in fees. Some took silk only to find that they became far less busy. These days, not only does a KC often appear alone, but in some cases even unattended by a solicitor.
I believe that I recall from the memoirs of Lord Denning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Denning,_Baron_Denning] that when he “took silk” (became a KC), in 1938, there were only 4 such “letters patent” granted that year, including his own. In 2024, no less than 100 persons became “KC” (5 honorary only, 95 ordinary).
Of course, in recent decades, arguably starting in the early 1990s, the pernicious influence of “political correctness” (now often termed “woke-ness”) has had its effect; it has never been admitted that the Bar now has some King’s Counsel appointed at least partly by reason of their “ethnic” background, but that such is the case is the opinion of not a few (including me).
Well, there it is.
As to Lord Denning, in his day, he was the most popular judge among the public; arguably the only popular judge, as well as the one with the most name-recognition. Opinion among barristers was less unmixed, though few if any would dispute his very great ability.
I saw Lord Denning up close only once or twice, notably when hurrying to the Library at Lincoln’s Inn in the early 1990s. My chambers were in the Inn at the time, and I was also a member of the Inn then (I was much later —2017— expelled, as an automatic consequence of my politically-procured disbarment of 2016).
I pushed open the very heavy oakwood Library door and missed, by only an inch or two, knocking over Lord Denning, who must have been about 94 (b.1899). I recall that he did not flinch, and smiled benignly as I held open the door for him.

Incidentally, just now looking at Wikipedia’s article on Denning, I see that, by 1936 (2 years before he took silk), his income was some £3,000 a year (arguably worth about £200,000 in the money of today, and income tax was far lower in 1936). Impressive, but the leading silk of the day, Birkett, at about that time had an income of £25,000 (between £1.5M and £2M today).
By comparison, in that era, domestic staff in a large country house might receive between £100 a year (kitchen maid) to £250-£500 a year (chief gamekeeper, or for a valued chief cook or butler in a great household). Of course, most were fed, clothed, and given accommodation as well.
Still, Denning, in the mid-1930s, was making about 10x the income of a head gamekeeper, and perhaps 30x the income of a kitchen maid. Birkett, on a fee-income of between £25,000 and £40,000 a year, was making as much as ten times even those figures! Several millions a year, in 2024 money.
Social history. Interesting.
I see that, when Denning was made a High Court judge in 1944, his salary was set at £7,000, perhaps £300,000-£400,000 in today’s money, so rather more than High Court judges now get (around £225,000; and income tax is higher today).

So why was the bastard even here in the UK? Nothing in the Daily Mail report (of course). Looks Somali, but nothing in that very poor report about the origin or background of the criminal.
The Daily Mail “journalist” also describes the untermensch in question as having been “homeless” at the time that he killed the victim, but then goes on to say that the defendant drove away, went shopping after the attack, and then returned to his home!
No indication in that report as to why the defendant was even in the country. Nothing about the savage having a job, either, yet here the bastard is, in the UK, and with a home and a car, at that. Oh, and he had enough money to buy cocaine, apparently.
At least he thought to buy food for his cat, as it seems. I hope that the cat was not made homeless.
This country is so screwed, incredibly so.
Nothing that mass deportations or executions could not at least start to solve, though.
