Saturday quiz

Well, only 4/10 this week, but still enough to beat (again) political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 8, 9, and 10. I might also have got question 4, had I thought for longer, but there it is.

We in Europe must regain the self-confidence to proclaim that, yes, there is a hierarchy of cultures, a hierarchy of religions, and a hierarchy of races as well, and that our Western white European cultures stand objectively higher than those of Africa, Asia etc.

Some cultures, some races, are relatively superior; others are relatively inferior.

Britain has gradually become a kind of disguised police state or repression-of-opinions state, and malicious special-interest groups (such as the notorious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”) have been taking advantage of bad laws passed in the past 50 years, but particularly the past 25 under the Blair-Brown governments but also by the government of Theresa May, another politician totally in the Jew-Zionist/Israel pocket (and a likely half-Jewess herself).

I am not a football supporter. I had to look up the name Joey Barton to be sure that he was somehow connected to football (think I had vaguely heard the name), and I had certainly no idea who were Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko; never heard of either of them (I do know, of course, who that ghastly over-paid msm creature Jeremy Vine is).

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/nov/07/joey-barton-guilty-sending-offensive-posts-social-media

Having now read the “grossly offensive” posts (“offensive” being OK, “grossly offensive” not OK…and there is no legal distinction save as to consequences, and no usable definition or method of separating the two), I personally find a few rather silly, but that is no reason for someone to be hauled before a Crown Court.

What we have here, in my opinion, is a mass media class, over-paid, over-privileged, unwilling to accept criticism. If any of them want to punish defamatory or otherwise wrongful statements about them, the laws of libel (etc) are there to help them. Civil law, not criminal.

I should be interested to know the composition of the jury. I dare say that, had this been an American trial (which could never happen anyway, by reason of the U.S. Constitutional free speech protections), there would be a jury selection process enabling the defence lawyers to object to, for example, blacks, women, certain football supporters, people who are fans of the “victims” etc. None of that happens now in England.

Maybe Dan Hodges is unaware of my experiences in this regard (despite my prosecution/persecution having been covered by the BBC, Sky News, Daily Mail etc…)

Nothing that a dozen rounds from the policewoman’s or policewomen’s pistol(s) would not solve.

Put it up against a wall. Wall. Squad. End.

Legal note: English judges have repeatedly underlined the fact that so-called “holocaust” “denial” is not a crime in the UK; neither is “antisemitism”, as such.

Yes, Reform UK is underwhelming, but I hope that voters next May all vote Reform in order to stamp on the “two main ” (System) parties that have brought England to its knees in the gutter.

Don’t forget which groups have always favoured the invasion. In particular, one group…

More tweets

Those tweets refer to a case in libel being brought by one Raffi Berg, a BBC Jew journalist, against the faux-revolutionary writer and Guardian journalist, Owen Jones.

There have been numerous allegations by various people that the said Berg has worked alongside or had considerable connection to both MOSSAD and the CIA. Does not seem unlikely, but I myself have no idea whether any such allegations are actually true.

Much material from the blog, and about the egregious Lewis, can be found via the blog search box, by typing in “Mark Lewis” or”Mark Lewis Lawyer”.

The madness of this country (and much of the “Western” world) in 2025

I was just reading the Wikipedia entry for Great Expectations, the novel by Dickens. At the end of the Wikipedia piece, there is noted a show by Eddie Izzard based on part of the novel. However, it is described as a “one-woman” show by “her“. Izzard is of course male…

The Wikipedia entry for Izzard also plays along with the fantasy or falsity: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Izzard.

It occurs to me that this constant drip-drip of lies posing as the truth is having a very bad effect on this country. Another example, long-running, has been the 1940s “holocaust” farrago, “gas chambers” etc etc.

Yes. The bimbo on the Good Morning Britain sofa, whoever she is, simply and patronisingly “humoured” him, and quickly closed him down before he said anything to the nationwide audience that might be really critical of the sick, decadent, multikulti Britain that now exists.

Yes. That is a very partial view. Fresh vegetables and fruits, when available, were unrationed. Some vegetables were abundant and actually had to be promoted by ads; potato, carrot etc. Fresh fish was unrationed (though in short supply), and bread was unrationed until after the war. Beer was unrationed, when available.

Eating out, for those who could afford it, avoided the rationing regime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom#Restaurants.

Naturally, the people who lived on country estates were best-placed to weather rationing. Game birds, and fish, were unrationed, and people living on a country estate would have ready access to eggs and other foodstuffs (and of course could grow fruits and vegetables in kitchen gardens or fields). Such people would also often have extensive wine cellars, so would have been able to drink French (and German!) wines bought before 1940.

I recall that the Cornish country house of which I had a lease (about 22 or so years ago) had quite large wine cellars (unstocked when I was there) which brought to mind the horror film adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe:

That house also had, at the time of WW2, kitchen gardens, greenhouses etc.

Nuts, berries etc would also have been available.

The big shortage would have been butter (olive oil was all but unknown to most British people in the 1930s and 1940s and anyway unavailable). Sugar was another big shortage, of course.

[“The Founding Fathers of the United States restricted citizenship to “free white persons” in the Naturalisation Act of 1790, which was signed into law by George Washington. This law meant that those of Anglo-Saxon stock and of European backgrounds such as Germans could become citizens. For example the same Congress had German-born Speaker Frederick Muhlenberg and John Jay who praised “one united people” in Federalist No. 2, his own blood was French Huguenot. Whilst Jefferson admired Anglo-Saxon law, he invited German settlers to Virginia. Franklin griped about “Palatine Boors” flooding Pennsylvania, but then backed the very act that let them naturalise. The 1790 census?? 19% German, 10% Scotch-Irish, Dutch in NY, French in SC. Whilst zero state constitutions demanded Anglo-Saxon descent, it was preferable. The main requirement was being of European stock. So the evidence provided here proves the United States was never meant to be a “melting pot”, that term was created by the jew Israel Zangwill in 1908. For a matter of fact prior to his assassination Abraham Lincoln intended to have the black slaves sent to either Liberia or Central America. This was due to them not fitting in with the ethnic makeup of the American people. It is insane to claim the U.S. was meant to be a “multi racial” society. The Founding Fathers and many presidents up until at least Abraham Lincoln intend for the United States to a ethnically Anglo-Saxon and European nation. I repeat again, it was never meant to be a “melting pot” and never should have been like it is today.”]

Many readers of this blog will know that I have been subjected to a decade or more, about 13 years, of (relatively) low-level persecution by malicious Jew-Zionists. That includes (though not exhaustively) my having been nominally disbarred in 2016 (nominally only, because I had abandoned actual Bar practice in 2008 anyway), and includes also my more recent free speech trial (2023) and sentencing hearing (2024):

The sentencing hearing was in mid-March 2024, over 18 months ago as of today’s date.

The Jew-Zionist liars and perjurers of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] wanted the state to punish me for telling the truth and, also wanted to shut down my free speech and, especially, to shut down the blog.

In the event, most of “their” evil intentions never came to fruition: the blog has continued to be published (as it was even throughout the process of prosecution, trial, and sentencing).

Talking point

Hitler talked about that in the 1940s. Now it is fairly well-known. On a completely veg diet, it is possible to feed 1 person for a year from food grown on a very small area of land, as little as a quarter or even a fifth of an acre, depending on climate, soil, irrigation etc.

Some studies suggest that, under optimal conditions (climate, soil, technique etc), even a tenth of an acre, a tiny plot (<4,000 square feet, or a strip 40 x 100 feet) , can be enough to sustain 1 person over a year.

A heavily meat-centred diet requires over 3 acres per person, 20x to 100x the area, compared to a fully-vegetarian diet.

A middle way might include some eggs, fish, chicken etc.

This is why the UK has to import a great deal of its food: too many inhabitants, combined with a mainly part-carnivorous population.

Allison Pearson is a dim scribbler who cried, and whined in her newspaper column, when a policeman came to her door regarding tweets she posted, yet she goes to demonstrations and marches with the same malicious Jew-Zionist liars, perjurers, and Israel-lobbyists who have been trying to shut down free speech in the UK for decades, and particularly in the past 25 years; groups such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].

I see tweets here and there to the effect that 2029 is over 3 years away, and a general election could be held even 4 years from now, in late 2029. Also, that much can change politically in 3-4 years. True, but does anyone expect the migration invasion to stop or even slow in the intervening period? I think not. Is the UK economy likely to improve or even stabilize between now and 2029? I think not. Is anything much likely to improve in the UK between 2025 and 2029? I think not.

Diary Blog, 11 July 2023, with thoughts around the “BBC presenter” storm in a teacup

Morning music

[Parcellier, The Orangerie]

Battles past

Thought for the Day

I see that the “BBC presenter” story is still rolling. A couple of things strike me about the story and also about the reaction to it.

Firstly, the sheer hysteria. It seems that the girl involved was 17 at the time, assuming that there is any substance to the story. It is one of the oddities of the English law at present (as I understand it— I admit to being not very au fait with it now, having not practised at the Bar since 2008) that the unnamed BBC presenter could actually have had full sexual relations with the girl (or any girl of 17, or indeed 16) without being in peril of the law, yet if he paid for nude photographs of her (even though she may have taken them herself, and willingly) he might actually be at risk of imprisonment: see https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/jul/09/bbc-presenter-accused-of-paying-teenager-for-photos-could-face-jail-term-if-guilty.

To my mind, this makes a mockery of the law. The “photographs” law should surely be in line with the law on sexual relations, and so the age reduced to 16 years.

I am unsure about whether a “photographs” law of that kind was or is necessary at all, or if it is, whether the relevant age should be 16 or lower, as with some provisions of, eg, the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and the Sexual Offences Act 1956.

The Protection of Children Act 1978, the present “photographs” law, does not (as far as I know) specify an age, but refers only to “children“.

This was never the kind of law I did when at the Bar, so I may be out of my depth on the detail here but, to my mind, that 1978 “photographs” law (which I have never read in full) seems to be on the face of it yet another badly-drafted law of the past half-century. There are several others, including the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and the Communications Act 2003, s. 127. Both of those have been superseded or are about to be superseded by newer laws.

I find it strange that the 1978 “photographs” law was thought to be necessary at all. It was brought in 20 years before the Internet was widely available for public use and, after all, photography itself has been around for about 200 years if you include its earlier modern manifestations such as the daguerrotype. Photographs as such have certainly existed since the 1860s, yet only in 1978 did Parliament consider that such a penal law was desirable, or at all necessary. Very odd.

Leaving all that aside, there seems to be a strange dissonance now— UK and general Western society almost eliminating real childhood and/or childhood “innocence”, and yet going mad if someone, especially anyone famous (such as George Osborne), has sexual relations, even if completely lawfully (in Osborne’s case, that is disputed), with a teenage girl of 16 or 17, or if such a person (as alleged of the unnamed BBC presenter) pays a girl of 16 or 17 for some risque photographs.

Well, there it is. To my mind, this “BBC presenter” story is a bit of a storm in a teacup anyway, looking at the challenges our country and society face at present. There are bigger issues.

The other aspect which I find striking about the “BBC presenter” story is that the unnamed defaulter has such a high level of income that he can, and apparently is willing to, pay out £35,000 for photographs of some girl.

The BBC gets almost all of its money from the outdated tax misleadingly called a “licence fee”. Radio licences, dog licences etc have passed into history, but the BBC licence fee marches on. Not only that, but enforced by criminal sanction. There are many people (mostly women) actually in prison because of having not had a TV licence, and then unable or unwilling to comply with the order of a court: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tv-licence-fee-women-convictions-b1763192.html.

Out of the huge revenues thus raised, the BBC pays its staff well, often very well, and in some cases far too well. Gary Lineker, that loudmouth ignoramus, is paid a million a year to shoot the breeze about football. Alan Shearer, another ex-footballer, gets about half a million. Zoe Ball apparently gets about a million. A number are getting around £400,000. Looking at them, most are, frankly, overpaid.

Why should the public subsidize what is increasingly, “Soviet” TV and radio output, largely unwatchable and unlistenable?

My final thought about this nonsense is that George Osborne must be loving it. The notorious email about his own peccadilloes is now already all but forgotten. I suppose, though, that despite his former, though fairly brief, political prominence, Osborne is now yesterday’s news…just not very interesting to most people.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/11/900000-older-people-ae-lack-of-nhs-care-at-home

It’s deeply worrying that many older people are ending up in hospital due to lack of the right sort of services in the community. No one wants to be in hospital but for older people all too often it can lead to an avoidable deterioration in their health,” said Caroline Abrahams, Age UK’s charity director.

Prof Adam Gordon, the president of the British Geriatrics Society, said the report “makes grim reading [and] rightly identifies that older people are currently being let down by NHS and social care services”.”

[The Guardian]

This has been a scandal (and a massive waste of money) for years, certainly since 2010 and probably long before. No care at home means more demand at hospitals. District nurses were once ubiquitous; now they seem hardly to exist at all. I was told by one, a decade ago, that she was fed up with NHS mismanagement, and so was emigrating to Australia, where she would also be paid far more.

As with so many areas of life in England, Government and Opposition talk a good game, but fail to deliver for the people.

However bad and (at best) useless Starmer-Labour will be, this “Conservative” Party misgovernment really has failed on every metric. It has to go, and I hope that almost all of its MPs will be dumped by the voters. Then a new fight will begin, against the “Labour” version of the System…

Terrible, particularly in France, the UK, Spain, but also in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium and, oddly, Bulgaria.

Migration-invasion does not only mean small boats crossing the Channel, but also “legal” migration and, often forgotten, “invasion by births”.

Having encountered a couple of Dutch doctors, this does not at all surprise me…

Well, there it is. The Poles are sensible after all…

and “Labour”, under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, will be saying, in effect, “vote for us…we can make workhouses run more efficiently, and more fairly, and with full implementation of any anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-LGBTQXYZ measures you can imagine“…

Unless NATO forces join in the war (as the Zelensky cabal wants), the Kiev regime has no prospect even of recovering Donetsk and Lugansk regions, let alone Crimea.

Once again, a vicious attacker, who had no reason to attack the victim, who was not even known to her, and with whom she had had not even casual conversation or interaction, is let off with a suspended sentence.

Read the report. The victim? 10 external stitches above the eye, 4 internal stitches. Blood everywhere. Pain and suffering. A permanent facial scar. Social anxiety flowing from the attack.

This is part of a pattern in the UK now. Vicious attacks, not infrequently (as here) carried out by a woman, often fuelled by booze or drugs (in this case, both), and/or with a defendant (often, and as in this case) basically crying in court and blaming “mental issues” and/or drink/drug problems for her disgusting crime.

The other part of said pattern is the undue leniency shown by judges, especially the part-time ones (such as the Recorder in this case).

GBH “with intent”, aka “s.18 GBH”, carries a maximum life sentence, and it trivializes the charge to sentence the woman here (who both pleaded guilty and accepted that her victim was, in the words of the Recorder, “entirely innocent” of any wrongdoing) to a suspended sentence.

I am not a “hang and flog” type of person, but I would have sentenced the defendant to at least a year in prison. Jez Turner of the London Forum got a year merely for urging, in a speech, that Jews be removed from the UK, while persecuted satirist and singer, Alison Chabloz, got months in prison for offending the delicate sensibilities of Zionist Jews and/or “holocaust” fraudsters via podcast discussions, cartoons and songs.

My own last real criminal case at the Bar (I mean real crime, not South West Water or Balfour Beatty failing to comply with regulation), was in a Crown Court in London in 1994, and that was also a “s.18” GBH with intent trial. My defendant had been involved in a fight with an aggressive attacker. He had thrown boiling oil over him, then stabbed him twice.

As to what sentence my lay client got (for what was almost a murder, the knife having come very close to penetrating the heart of the victim), there never was one; I managed to secure an acquittal on the ground of self-defence. He probably would have received about 5 years imprisonment from what was a very fierce old judge.

If judges (as sometimes seems now to be the case) keep letting violent criminals off lightly, especially when the defendant is a woman, society slides further down the slope to lawless anarchy.

…and none dare call it conspiracy…

Meanwhile, the white European peoples of the Earth are being invaded by hordes of the rapidly-proliferating blacks and browns. The Earth’s population has an ever-smaller proportion of white Northern Europeans.

Interesting. It is worth reading the whole thread.

The “benefits” point is all but irrelevant; I do not want vast foreign-origined populations in the UK, whether they work or not. The proper point arising from the above pictures is that they show to what extent London, and much of the rest of England (Britain, but mainly England) has been totally swamped.

However, at the very same time, in 1917, the corrupted politicos in Westminster were already giving Palestine away to World Jewry, via the Balfour Declaration [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration]. Beersheba is now an Israeli town [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beersheba].

Coronavirus

Just heard a story from someone; secondhand but thought reliable.

A lady in her nineties, in hospital for various matters, has apparently just been tested for “the virus” in hospital (where she had already been staying for about a month), and the test was positive.

The said person has no symptoms of “the virus” at all, but has now been put into an even more isolated ward than the one in which she had stayed for weeks. All the nurses and doctors, and I think the patients, wear masks pretty much constantly. I presume that hands are washed frequently.

The above seems to establish, at least on the balance of probabilities, that facemasks are pretty much irrelevant in terms of protection from “the virus”. Also, that the best way to get this virus is to be admitted to an NHS hospital…

Incidentally, I happened to see the comment below somewhere:

I have no idea whether that is arrant nonsense or not. It would seem to fit in with the “Great Reset”, though.

In no time, he was selected as one of only a handful of German officer cadets to attend the prestigious Saint-Cyr military academy in France, founded in 1802 by Napoleon.

His five years abroad included semesters at Sciences Po in Paris and King’s College London as well as at Sandhurst, one of the British Army’s premier officer training schools, and a summer session at the University of Cambridge.

In 2013, he wrote a master’s thesis, “Political Change and Strategy of Subversion.”

Over 169 pages, Franco A. argued that the downfall of great civilizations had always been immigration and the dilution of racial purity brought about by subversive minorities. Europe and the West were next in line if they did not defend themselves, he said.

Ethnically diverse societies were unstable, he wrote, and nations that allow migration were committing a form of “genocide.”

His final section posits that the Old Testament was the foundation of all subversion, a blueprint for Jews to gain global dominance. It might be, he said, “the biggest conspiracy in the history of humanity.”

Franco A. himself began stockpiling a “prepper” cellar with food rations and other supplies. He also began obtaining guns and ammunition illegally, prosecutors say.” [New York Times]

Exactly. Look at the story at the head of today’s blog: an old lady, aged somewhere around 94 years old, now a statistic— a “new Covid-19 case”, because she has tested positive after a routine hospital check. In reality, that old lady has no symptoms at all, though she has lived, I am told, with several other serious medical conditions, and for some years.

That person is now part of the panicdemic narrative and will probably show up very soon in the official statistics, as part of the “second wave”, but what has changed, in reality? Nothing.

The “@amy_amorie” account is one of the best on Twitter.

“Virus” infections tail off before “lockdown” (shutdown)

So infections are apparently declining in number across much of the country, and were declining days ago, in other words before the second national “lockdown” (ruinous shutdown) of society even started.

Will this wake up the “lockdown” and facemask zealots? I doubt it. As for the Government, it cannot admit that the measures are useless or even counter-productive…

The (((Guardian))) goes full globalist and finance-capitalist.

Of course, the “mad psychiatrist” is a cliche, but there is often a kernel of truth in cliches, of course. In this case, the doctor in question seems to imagine that most shops are open ( they are not) and that most people are not masked (I should hope not; the facemask nonsense is only mandated, by the —probably invalid— law, inside shops etc).

The above tweet is actually the true voice of the Twitter pseudo-intelligentsia. Begging to be controlled, and wishing full control upon a cowed population; wanting everyone to be miserable and dependent; also, either ignorant or uncaring of the damage to the economy (which will eventually have its effect on pay, State benefits, services, infrastructure). A typical Twitter virtue-signaller.

Indeed. Neither is that urge to exert petty power confined to the police. All the heretofore gophers and wage slaves such as receptionists, supermarket cashiers, shop staff generally, have been rather enjoying their (presumed, assumed) power to tell visitors to adjust their masks, stand back etc. Some stray idiots started to tell complete strangers they encountered, or who were nearby, to do so! I see less of that now, compared to a few months ago, probably because the mask zealots got barked at a few times by freedom-fighters or dissidents (like me!)…

Hypocrite Stuchbery (who has repeatedly called for those with whom he disagrees or of whom he disapproves to be punched, taken down, taken out, have their skulls crushed in etc). Of course, Stuchbery always does his “antifa” and pro-Jew lobby cheerleading from a very safe distance…and see: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/.

Raheem Kassam

Needless to say, I have little time for Raheem Kassam, another of the “alt-Right” or “alt-Lite” wastes of space (Breitbart, “Prison Planet” Watson, “Sargon of Akkad” Carl Benjamin, Katie Hopkins etc), but it is telling that Kassam’s online newspaper has now been suspended (removed) from Twitter. I was expelled, David Icke has been expelled. Many others as well.

Today is the 103rd anniversary of the Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia, a coup d’etat in one city of one corner of a vast empire, which flame spread like a wildfire across those huge territories. A cataclysmic and largely catastrophic event. Probably the single biggest reason why Russia does not today rule the world, or is not at least the most influential state…

The Russian Revolution, that is the real one, in early 1917, not the mainly Jewish putsch headed by Lenin in October (old-style) 1917, did not emerge from nowhere. The social inequities under Tsarism provided the fuel, then events (not Bolshevik propaganda) provided the spark that set that fuel alight.

The Bolsheviks were in fact almost an irrelevance until 1917. Their numbers seem to have been between 5,000 and 50,000 until that year. Lenin himself was not even in Russia until two months after the first or real revolution of 1917. His putsch merely took over an existing situation.

I doubt that many, in the Russia of, say, 1913 or 1914, could have predicted that the Imperial state (and society) would fall so easily and so comprehensively.

Like Peter Finch’s deranged newsreader in the 1976 movie Network, Shelley Tasker is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it any more.

As England was pitchforked into another debilitating lockdown, she set up an amplifier on the steps of Truro Cathedral, grabbed a microphone and began telling passers-by what’s ‘really going on’ in the NHS. Within minutes she had attracted a small crowd.

Shelley has resigned in disgust from her job as a healthcare assistant at Treliske hospital and wants the world to know why.

The idea that the NHS is overrun, she said, is a pack of lies. ‘I can tell you now that at the height of the pandemic I had no work because there were no patients.

On Friday in Treliske there were three people with Covid. We’ve closed down Cornwall because three people are in hospital.’

She also claimed that patients who died from flu were being registered dishonestly as Covid victims on death certificates.

Yesterday the chief executive of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust confirmed that in the county’s main hospital there are just seven patients suffering from coronavirus, three of them in intensive care.

Yet on the strength of that minuscule number of cases, a county of 565,000 people is being shut down. Businesses are again closing their doors and many will never reopen. Cornwall, like the rest of the country, is braced for a jobs bloodbath.” [Richard Littlejohn, in the Daily Mail]

The above echoes my recent experience of having visited a small hospital in Southern England a few times and briefly. Almost deserted.

I see that Littlejohn compares the “virus” madness, and the behaviour of the police and others, and just as I did a day or two ago, to the film The Lives of Others, about people in the pre-1990 DDR (East Germany). Or does Littlejohn read my blog? (he also uses some of my typical phrasing…). Actually, quite a few journalists and MPs (etc) do read my blog.

Deadhead MPs, An Occasional Series: The Esther McVey Story

I was intending to write this examination of Esther McVey some months ago. Now here we are, almost in October, and the Conservative Party Conference is on. Looking at Twitter, I noticed some amusing things, one of which was the following tweet about thick-as-two-short-planks Esther, here seen both trying to orate and trying to seem as though her single brain cell is switched on:

Some of the msm and social media responses to Esther McVey’s latest idiocy have been hilarious:

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/housing-minister-esther-mcvey-mocked-for-saying-3d-architects-are-now-building-homes-on-computers-a4250356.html

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/esther-mcvey-humiliated-after-making-17010109

Rather like those bumper stickers with their silly tasteless jokes, such as “Divers do it deeper”; or in this case, perhaps, “Conservatives do it on computers— in 3D!”

Perhaps rather too near the knuckle in view of the Conservative Party sex scandals of recent years:

“You don’t have to be Jewish!” (or a doormat like Crabb) though…

So, Esther McVey. What do we know about her?

This is the Wikipedia entry:

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

The bare bones are that Esther McVey has an LL.B. from one university, an MA from another, and a “corporate governance” M.Sc. from a third. I tend to think that people who have several degrees are either brilliant or are semi-idiots wanting to look good on paper, and usually the latter. I was once slightly acquainted with an African ex-High Commissioner who had degrees from Oxford, as well as either Yale or Harvard (I forget which) and the Sorbonne. A complete idiot…

Esther McVey is at time of writing a few days short of 52 years old. Her Wikipedia entry seems almost deliberately confused or misleading in part (which makes me wonder how much of it she edited personally).

Esther McVey seems to have graduated from the —at-the-time not very prestigious— Queen Mary College, East London in 1988 or 1989 (a decade or so later it became part of the University of London). Why she, from the Liverpool area, decided to study in an unfashionable part of London, I have no idea. It may be that she wanted to be in London and nowhere else offered her a place. Her degree was in law (level of degree awarded not known). She did not, however, continue either to the Bar or to the solicitors’ profession; neither did she seek or take any salaried appointment outside her family’s business (a demolition and site-clearance business in the Liverpool area). In fact, McVey was a director of the family business later, from 2000 to 2006, though her father has said that “she was there in name only”, which is a strange idea of the fiduciary and other duties of a company director. Perhaps she did not understand (that is rather a habit of hers). Still, there it is.

Though Esther McVey set up a couple of unsuccessful and/or publicly-funded small businesses (thus enabling her to claim on Wikipedia etc that she had been a “businesswoman” before becoming an MP), her main activity from 1991 and for much of the 1990s was being a TV presenter for both BBC and ITV, the high point being, apparently, co-presenting “GMTV” (ITV breakfast show) with that ignorant Irish slug Eamonn Holmes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Holmes].

I have no idea how she got into that kind of work, though I notice that, at the time, her boyfriend was a TV producer. She has a Liverpudlian accent that seems, at times, impenetrable.

Esther Mcvey was elected as MP for Wirral West, a so-called “bellwether” seat, in 2010:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirral_West_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections

The Liverpool Echo described McVey as the “most reviled MP on Merseyside”:

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/record-shame-esther-mcvey-unpopular-16645987

Few will forget the infamous moment in 2013 when the then Wirral West MP said she thought it was ‘right’ and ‘positive’ that struggling people were turning to foodbanks because they could not afford to eat.

She told the House of Commons: “In the UK it is right that, you know, more people are visiting – which you’d expect – going to foodbanks.”” [Liverpool Echo]

Even the Jewish Zionist Liverpool Wavertree then-Labour MP, Luciana Berger, said that McVey’s response still “haunted” her: “It was disgraceful and showed absolutely no empathy – I was on the benches going ballistic.

McVey served in the Cameron–Clegg coalition as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Disabled People from 2012 to 2013, prior to being appointed Minister of State at the Department for Work and Pensions from 2013 to 2015. She was sworn of the Privy Council in February 2014, and attended cabinet as Minister of State for Employment in the 2014 British cabinet reshuffle.”

[Wikipedia]

McVey was removed as MP for Wirral West in 2015 by the electors, many of whom described her, perhaps understandably, as “McVile”. She was then handed a well-paid sinecure for 2 years by her cronies and their cronies, as Chair of the British Transport Police Authority [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Transport_Police_Authority], an organization and activity about which stupid McVey knew absolutely nothing (and probably still knows nothing). We talk about corruption in Africa or Asia, but what to make of an appointment like that?!

McVey was then, almost beyond belief, selected as Conservative candidate for the safe Conservative seat of Tatton, vacated by part-Jew ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. She returned to Parliament in 2017.

She served in the Second May ministry as Deputy Chief Whip from 2017 to 2018. She was appointed Work and Pensions Secretary on 8 January 2018, but resigned on 15 November 2018 in opposition to the Brexit negotiations and the Brexit withdrawal agreement. In July 2018 it was reported by the head of the National Audit Office (NAO) that McVey had misled parliament over the new Universal Credit scheme by claiming that the NAO report showed that it should be rolled out faster when in fact the report concluded that the roll-out should be paused.[3] She apologised to the House of Commons on 4 July 2018[4][5] amid calls for her resignation.” [Wikipedia]

The bitch of course did not resign. Her type only understands brute force. People of her type have to be forced out of lucrative or careerist positions.

Incredibly, having been totally dishonest and incompetent as junior minister at the DWP (under part-Jap sadist Iain Dunce Duncan Smith), she was appointed by part-Jew Theresa May as Secretary of State in 2018. She later resigned over Brexit, but was re-appointed to Cabinet by Boris-Idiot in 2019.

In June 2019 she stood in the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election. She was eliminated in the first round after finishing in last place with nine votes.” Well, so that was how her fellow Conservative MPs rated her— only 9 votes out of 317

I detect three main strands in Esther McVey:

  • useless at her jobs (I cannot comment on her as a TV presenter, because I do not watch the kind of rubbish she presented);
  • lacking not only competence but any decent empathy or understanding;
  • a tendency to get personally involved with those working in the same organizations: when in TV, with at least one television producer; later, in politics, involved with the useless and lazy half-Jew “Conservative” MP, Ed Vaizey [formerly Con, now Independent, Wantage], who was made a minister and then —ludicrously— Secretary of State for Culture] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Vaizey#Expense_claims]; now she is apparently engaged to another MP, Phillip Davies [Con, Shipley], in whom she apparently had “a long-term, on-off romantic interest” or vice-versa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Davies#Personal_life

McVey is also, I read, friendly with the McCann couple, whose little girl, notoriously, disappeared in mysterious circumstances in Portugal many years ago now.

McVey is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel.

So there we are. Esther McVey. A major deadhead, who is in a very safe seat and therefore unlikely to be removed by the voters. She, in her very person, is an indictment of the political system that has sustained her for a decade.

Update, 16 February 2020

Well, credit where due. Boris-idiot (or his eminence grise, Dominic Cummings), decided to bin Esther McVey, whose last Government job was as Housing Minister, a non-Cabinet post, though she was, I read, invited to attend Cabinet. God knows why. Housing is vitally important at present, but that merely begs the question: why appoint a deadhead like McVey to that portfolio?

A few tweets seen:

https://twitter.com/OliverBuckleyM1/status/1227895173285392385?s=20

Esther McVey was an example of a whole phenomenon which grew up since 1997: MPs lucky even to be MPs, and who became MPs because they were once on TV (eg Esther McVey, Gloria de Piero, Anna Soubry), or because they once wrote cheap novels (Louise Mensch— remember her, the drug abuser and “ho”?) etc, but who were unable even to function properly as MPs before being promoted, incredibly, to ministerial and even Cabinet positions.

Now? Well, deconstructing her CV, she has never had a real job (a real one, not the fake ones on her CV such as pretending to have been a director of her father’s demolition business, or a “businesswoman”); save for her TV presenter years. Hard to imagine anyone offering her a position (I mean a business one…). I therefore assume that she will stay on as MP in her safe seat of Tatton (rural Cheshire) indefinitely. She will of course never again hold Government office.

Update, 18 December 2023

“Never say never“…: “In the November 2023 British cabinet reshuffle, McVey was appointed Minister of State without Portfolio in the Cabinet Office by Rishi Sunak, reportedly tasked with “leading the government’s anti-woke agenda” as a “minister for common sense”.[61][62]

[Wikipedia]

Update, 3 April 2025

Incredibly, McVey remains MP for Tatton, having managed to hang on in the 2024 General Election (a vote-share of 38.4%; Labour 36.3%; Reform UK 11.3%). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_McVey#4th_term_(2024%E2%80%93); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatton_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Esther McVey is now 57, so will probably be about 61 when the next general election happens. Whether she stays on or not is an open question, but she may try, especially now that her husband, Philip Davies, is no longer an MP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Davies; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipley_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.
