Party-political aspects of the “lockdown”/shutdown nonsense
I commented a while ago, and also not long after the unmerited Conservative Party “victory” in 2019, that in the absence of a viable official Opposition, any real opposition to the Boris-idiot government would come from within the Conservative Party itself. That has turned out to be the case. In the vote (scheduled for tomorrow) to approve the latest crazy “lockdown”, 80+ Conservative Party MPs are set to vote against, with others abstaining. The Labour Party, though, has stepped into the breach to support the Government!
In fact, Labour’s only “opposition” is to say, “Boris should have done it earlier, harsher, and better-run“… That’s not much of an Opposition…
In the absence of a decent Government and a decent Opposition, we see not only the rebellion of many Conservative Party MPs, but a vacuum opening up. That applies not only to policy and action around “the virus”, but also in other areas: immigration, migration-invasion, illegal immigrants motoring over from France with little to stop them; other areas too: work and pay, pensions.
The Government and Opposition are just too cosy now, both headed by members of Friends of Israel organizations.
The egregious Nigel Farage has, like the businessman he is, “spotted a gap in the [political] market” and, despite having stabbed his own followers in the back twice before (with UKIP and then Brexit Party), now has applied (yes, in our “free” country, you now have to “apply”…) to form a new party, Reform Party.
I wonder how many angry and/or discontented people will grasp at the latest Farage straw? Controlled opposition.
There is an opportunity for a real social-national movement and party (both movement and, within that, party) in the UK, but a suitable vehicle does not as yet exist, despite valiant attempts now, notably by Patriotic Alternative under Mark Collett and Laura Towler.
The fact that major banks have told both Collett and Laura Towler that their accounts are to be closed, I take as a hopeful sign for them. It indicates that “PA” is starting to resonate.
The withdrawal of banking services —for socio-political reasons— may not be quite the “no man might buy or sell” unless having the mark and number of the Beast (in the Revelationof St. John), but it does seem to be a step or two down that road.
The storm clouds are gathering.
“Lockdown”, the Coronavirus situation generally, mishandled Brexit, migration-invasion, “black lives matter” vandalism and disorder, people pushing back against the Jewish lobby, the economy sliding fast.
The ravens of Odin sense a coming battle and a coming victory.

Tell you what I think? OK. First of all (as I tweeted years ago, one of 5 tweets that got me disbarred in 2016 at the instigation of a pack of Jews): “Michael Gove is a pro-Jew, pro-Israel expenses cheat“. Now, of course, we know that he is also a cocaine abuser and a staggering drunk.
I agree with much of the letter, though.
Excellent letter, thank you for standing up for us, the public. My son had a well paid, secure job in security at Mcr Airport, now he is worried about how he will pay his bills. He has covid, nothing more than feeling a bit hot and headaches. Nothing to destroy the economy for.
I am glad to see that almost everyone has now come round to my view, expressed for years, that far from being a strong leader, “Boris” is as weak as weak could be in almost all ways.
1/2 Might I just ask what good all those masks did, if the same people who supported them, claiming they would stop the spread, now claim that we are on the verge of a new panicdemic?
2/2 You know the answer they will give, of course 'It would have been worse without them'. Like hamsters in a wheel, lockdown zealots live in a small circle in which everything proves their case. 'Deaths fall. Lockdown worked. Deaths rise. We did not lock down hard enough.'

Of course it's *possible* @mark_d_graham. But I've seen no hard evidence for this claim, & international comparisons show no congruence between the severity of shutdowns and numbers of deaths. So it is also possibly not. A poor basis for putting hundreds of thousands on the dole. https://t.co/s0NFLfpku2

https://t.co/wJI1dGh7Sh Look at the date on this. Can you remember the government in that year strangling the economy, confining us to our homes, shutting gyms and swimming pools, closing churches, throttling the NHS and ruling by decree?
Yet again a minister (in this case Jenrick of Richard Desmond fame) pretends to be destroying the economy, the NHS and liberty ‘with a heavy heart’. Yet they do it anyway. If their hearts are all so heavy why can’t they see their action is wildly disproportionate to the danger? https://t.co/Nl0ZK7Kcj8
Robert Jenrick, Jewish lobby puppet, and a corrupt little pissant.
As a former doctor @jed_mercurio, you must know that the NHS has reduced its bed numbers hugely in recent years and runs on very tight margins during many winters. This is bad, but Covid is not its main cause and it is not unprecedented. Doesn’t justify strangling the country. https://t.co/v6MJl4SJt1

Listen to Prof Carl Heneghan here https://t.co/I7gpi4D95S at (6.52) 52 mins into R4 Today programme, on Johnson's dud out-of-date graph, and on the real state of hospital admissions.
I heard a piece on BBC World Service about “the virus” as it is in Prague and the Czech Republic generally.
Earlier in 2020, the Czech government instituted one of the most severe “lockdowns” (and other measures) in the world. Now? The Czech Republic apparently has the second-highest rate of infections [known] in the world.
Nothing was said of how many people were having to be hospitalized or how many are dying. A temporary large hospital has been constructed, but according to the BBC reporter, the ventilators shown were “wheezing” without patients.
Conclusion? Nothing much from the BBC; from me, the conclusion that testing is up, known infections are up, but —perhaps— the number of actual deaths from the virus is not much —if at all— up. Also, that the severe “lockdown” of earlier this year has not stopped infection but —at most— merely delayed it.
It might have been better to allow infection to proliferate in the Spring and Summer, when hospitals are less busy generally. Same in the UK.
In the UK, the “lockdown” (shutdown of virtually the whole society) was meant to be, or at least presented to the public as, temporary, for a few weeks only, to “flatten the curve” of infection, the numbers hospitalized etc, and so “save the NHS”. In the contemporary phrase, “that went well”…
Here we are 6+ months later and, while the UK death rate (from “the virus” if not from everything else) is now low, technical infection is high and we still have “local” lockdowns amounting to a semi-national lockdown; also of course the intrusive and unnecessary facemask nonsense.

“Boris Johnson’s pitch to would-be first-time Tory voters in the North of England was threefold: getting Brexit done; “levelling up” the economy; and taking their side on culture war issues against the spectre of the metropolitan, liberal elite.
While the success of the Prime Minister’s Brexit strategy hangs in the balance, those last two aims are in tatters. As constituencies across the North of England suffer soaring infection rates, new restrictions on their civil liberties, and impending economic Armageddon, the bright and optimistic vision of last December lies smouldering in ruins, like the last fags in the gutter outside a shuttered Liverpool pub.” [Standpoint magazine]
A fairly interesting article, but omitting the key fact about the 2019 General Election, which is that the Conservative Party did not win it; Labour lost it. The Conservative Party won only by default. Huge numbers of 2017 Labour voters did not vote Labour in 2019, true…but relatively few of those voted Conservative. More of the 2017 Labour voters did not vote at all in 2019.

📢 SAVE's call on @StockportMBC to rethink plans to close grade II listed Stockport Central library featured in @stockportnews 🔔 We want to see the 1913 Carnegie Library retained and transformed as a new cultural hub AND library, not left without use or secure future @NavPMishrapic.twitter.com/G7mb4NAoTr
Andrew Carnegie was right: it is a disgrace to die rich (unless perhaps the deceased’s will does public good as a major part of it). Today’s billionaires should take note. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie
When I was a small child, living in Caversham Heights, on the edge of Reading, where the suburbs of the Berkshire town meet the Oxfordshire woods and fields, my mother would often take me to the public library in Caversham itself, which library was founded by Carnegie, and had a plaque set into the exterior wall to that effect. I have never forgotten that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie#1901%E2%80%931919:_Philanthropist
The foundation stone was laid in 1905, and the Library opened in 1907.
When I used to go there, aged about 4 or 5 and thereafter, from about 1960, it looked just the same as in the photograph. I recognize that circular leather seat (it was red shiny leather, perhaps very much of its time: see The Maltese Falcon).
[Caversham Library, photographed in 2018]
When the library opened, in 1907, the whole area of Caversham and beyond, from the north bank of the Thames at Reading, was still part of Oxfordshire. It only became part of Berkshire in 1911.

The only way to stop the slide to tyranny is to directly impact those who have engineered the present Coronavirus toytown police state which is halfway to a real police state. I am talking about Boris-idiot and his cohorts.
More evidence that Labour, though not in the opinion-poll trough it was in when Corbyn was leader [translation: when the entire Jewish-influenced or owned mass media were trashing Labour and Corbyn on a daily basis], has not broken through in terms of public support, despite the manifest incompetence and unpleasantness of the Boris-idiot “Conservative” government.

Perhaps my favourite quote of all from one Tory MP: "Levelling up doesn’t mean anything to anyone. I asked two constituents about it recently. One said ‘is it about Nintendo level up games?’ The other said – I kid you not – ‘do you mean the potholes?’"
All Boris-idiot is good for is cracking jokes and playing the public entertainer. Anything else— rubbish.
How fake news works. Biden was widely reported to have mistakenly thought he was running against George Bush. But the truth was he was being interview by George Lopez. That was who he was referencing.https://t.co/X02TALgzF0
Well, not so surprising. After all, at least half the American public (and the British public, for that matter), still believe that the German government of the 1940s “gassed” millions of Jews, despite no credible evidence ever having been adduced for that.
The fakery of the “holocaust” farrago since the 1950s has contaminated politics, law, the mass media, and of course modern historical study and authorship; that has been particularly the case since the real TV/Hollywood campaign started in the 1970s: Schindler’s List (1993) and so on. Most people have no idea that that film was an adaptation of a novel by an Australian who was only 3 years old at the start of the Second World War, and only 9 when it finished.
School-meals highlights a broader problem. At the start of the crisis the Government said “we’re in the midst of a pandemic, we’ll support you”. It’s now saying “we’re still in the midst of a pandemic, but we won’t support you”. Why do they think that will fly politically.

The above tweet (commenting upon another tweet) was tweeted a few days ago by the egregious Jo Maugham, a prolific tweeter who likes to virtue-signal, a pose damaged when it was widely publicized that he had brutally beaten to death a fox.
Maugham, a half-Jew by actual parentage [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham#Early_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Benedictus#Life], and who is a barrister (QC) in the field of tax law, is presumably someone of quite high intelligence, but his pronouncements and judgment calls often show, in my opinion, a lack of commonsense. Not just the fox-killing incident. Maugham was or is a leading supporter of Remain vis a vis the EU; also, if I recall aright, of the doomed joke party, Change UK, which bombed at the European Elections and General Election of 2019. Now look at that tweet featured above.
People protesting against the increasingly totalitarian nature of the (supposedly) anti-“virus” measures taken by a panicked government in the UK, are not “bringing death to the innocent“. Au contraire, the government “lockdowns”, semi-shutdown of the NHS etc are killing far more than the “virus” so many seem to fear.
As to the Extinction Rebellion loonies, if Maugham thinks that their antics will in any way “save the planet from destruction“, he is in a strange part of cloud-cuckoo land (see above for links to my articles about Extinction Rebellion etc).
I am absolutely sure of it. Though I think to the sticking point will be when some benefits and support runs out. And a government no longer tied to the European courts will make use of leaving to change the rules and punishments around that.
I favour Brexit, but this incompetent Jewish/Indian government of clowns, and its predecessors, have badly mishandled everything. Still, it could trigger the biggest upsurge in social nationalism since the 1930s. “Always look on the bright side of Life”…
I can only assume that that tweeter is unaware of my existence…(though I never use “Right”/”Left” terminology).

One sees how the System in the UK used “Tommy Robinson”, the EDL, and the “Football Lads’ Alliance” etc as “controlled opposition”, which meant that instead of something like the above, the UK had pointless marches and brawling by the bottle-throwing dupes of those organizing and those (((behind the scenes))). Result? No threat to the System, and the “protestors”, like their idiotic American counterparts, were even “pro-Israel”. Talk about slaves loving their chains!
The latest “Campaign Against Antisemitism (“CAA”) “lawfare” outrage (along with the continuing affaire Chabloz) is the complaint against Nazim Ali, a pharmacist, who made a speech at the Al Quds march in London three years ago, in 2017.
The “CAA” did its usual thing of sneaking around hoping to record something “antisemitic” so that the CAA might complain to the police or to professional regulators.
The case is now before the professional regulatory tribunal for the pharmaceutical profession.
The same thing happened to Jez Turner of London Forum. His speech in Whitehall was overheard by CAA snoop Gideon Falter and/or others. The police and then Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] declined to prosecute, so the CAA used “lawfare”, going to the High Court to have the no-prosecution decision subjected to judicial review. The result was a stalemate, but the Crown Prosecution Service did “reassess” the matter, eventually prosecuting Jez Turner, who was, after a Crown Court trial, eventually sentenced to a year in prison, serving half. A hero.
After my unjust disbarment in October 2016, Falter, the “Director” of the CAA Jew-Zionist pressure group, said to the national Press (Judenpresse…) that my case proved that anyone in a recognized profession who said anything the CAA deemed “antisemitic” would suffer “devastating professional consequences“. Google “Ian Millard barrister” for more.
The Jew-Zionists succeeded in both getting me disbarred in 2016 (though it took nearly three years) and in having me removed from Twitter in 2018. They failed in several attempts to have me arrested and/or prosecuted. They have persecuted me in other ways (eg by having Amazon remove all my book reviews, at which I was a “Top 50” reviewer out of millions). “They” are enemies of European civilization.

Saw something that sparked memories. In 2002, having taken a lease of a large country house on the Cornwall-Devon border and, a month or so later having joined provincial barristers’ chambers in Exeter, I was asked to sit as a “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot (a mock trial), held in the ancient Guildhall in the main street of Exeter.
My fellow “Lords Justices of Appeal” were a Professor Tettenborn from Exeter University (now at Swansea University and an influential legal academic), and the Mayor of Exeter, a humourless elderly fellow.
The three contenders were all final year law students. The one who stood out and was the unquestioned winner of the contest was a young man of Armenian or part-Armenian origins called Taghdissian. He was far ahead of the other two in both advocacy and law and was a worthy victor. However, before awarding him his laurels, the “Court” (privately, not aired in public) had to consider a technical matter, an ethical violation by him. He nearly lost his otherwise well-merited win.
I spoke to him at the reception afterward. My assessment: a sharp-witted, polite but somewhat arrogant young man who, if he mellowed, might be an asset to our chambers.
A year or two later, I heard that, in the chambers that that person had joined (not the same chambers to which I belonged, though I had in fact told both our senior Clerk and my Head of Chambers, who is now a circuit judge, that he was worth offering a place if he applied), there had been one or two suggestions of inappropriate personal behaviour from that young barrister. I do not think that anything more happened about that, though (and I know only what I was told, though told on good authority).
Now, I have just seen that that student of 2002 is still a member of those other chambers, and has political ambitions, being not only the head of the local Conservatives but having been a several-times candidate.
Taghdissian stood for the Conservatives at the 2017 General Election (for the Exeter seat), but came second. He was also one of six Conservative Party candidates on their party list for South West England in the 2019 European Elections; no Conservative Party candidates were elected. He had previously stood at the 2015 General Election, in the constituency of Cardiff West; placed second.
Taghdissian is evidently determined to get into major-league politics. I shall be interested to follow his progress.

Professor Ferguson (again)
“Professor Neil Ferguson, the controversial academic whose modelling heavily influenced the national lockdown in March, was accused of scaremongering after saying that people ‘will catch Covid-19 and die’ if families are allowed to mix on Christmas Day.” [Daily Mail].
Why doesn’t someone chuck that bastard off a cliff?
and… “Psychologists said Covid-19 may cause birth rates to fall, people to stay single for longer and for women to become more promiscuous.” [Daily Mail]. Professor Ferguson and his married “ho” (and her cuckold husband) will no doubt be interested to read that…

The “cuck” “prince” is now once again talking about “unconscious bias”. What about “unconscious bias” in favour of people like him?

In fact, looking at him, I think that Harry would find it hard to get any ordinary job, certainly beyond the entry level.
Exactly. An excellent training exercise for the SBS, but in the end the African migrant-invaders won. They are here, probably in some mothballed business hotel (not exactly the Ritz, but, hey! a lot of homeless Brits would take it!). Once their details (probably fake) are logged, the invaders will be given about £50 a week pocket money and eventually found housing that should go to British families and individuals. Disgrace.

Hitchens is right. As for me, I too hate mobs and disorder, but also hate a society where the people are slaves or near-robots. The right balance between conformity and liberty (and licence) must be struck. The UK has, in the past 20 years, and plainly so in the past year, gone too far towards not only a serf-state, but a stupidly-governed serf-state.

Again, I agree with Hitchens. I favour public service broadcasting, but the BBC is no longer that, or only incidentally. Lord Reith’s dictum, Inform. Educate, Entertain, is either ignored now, or complied with only in parody form.
The contrived “virus” situation has not only exposed how empty of content our society now is, and its institutions especially (as I blogged months ago) but also has led to where we are now, a kind of shadow society. The virus apparently makes many lose their senses of taste and smell, and that is, metaphorically, what has happened socially and politically. Look at the House of Commons.
We have a government of clowns who, under previously normal conditions, would not even have been taken seriously by their own party, let alone the public. They have no credibility, no real ideology or even ideas. They are (as again blogged about many times) led by a part-Jew public entertainer whose jokes are now falling very flat.
The UK has a binary political system, which means, inter alia, that if the official Opposition is, like the Government, just a collective puppet of the Jewish lobby, there is no real opposition to Government policy and behaviour.
The Labour Party simply “opposes” Boris-idiot by saying “we agree with most of what you do, but you should do more of the same, and harder, and should have done it earlier; and borrowed more money to soften the blows...”
Yes, we are always hearing how small the difference is between the DNA of, say, a Northern European and the DNA of a black African. A small fraction of 1%. But it is that small difference that means everything. “In your nothing, I hope to find my everything” [Goethe, Faust]. Some primates, such as chimpanzees, have 96% of the same DNA as a human being, some are even said to have 98% or 99%. Even a banana has 60% of “our” DNA, it seems.

Indeed. The oddest thing is that, in the UK and elsewhere (eg USA), public horror (arguably exaggerated) re. underage sex activity goes together with the actual encouragement of such activity in the West since the 1960s. Hollywood, “British” TV, whatever. The msm generally. There are secret groups, embedded in the political and msm milieux, that are constantly pushing to expand the boundaries of what is acceptable to the public, and to blur clear lines of what is “normal” behaviour. The Old Testament story of Sodom and Gomorrah is being reprised in a complex and sophisicated way. I have little doubt that things will get worse in this respect.
This whole “licence fee” (tax) nonsense must end now. The idea that a “licence fee” guarantees BBC independence from the State is a bad joke, looking at how spineless the BBC is in questioning Government policy.

One of the dangers of the present time is that there are so many unworthy and in fact evil people in lucrative, applauded, influential and/or powerful positions that one is tempted to agree with the young Karl Marx (who was an actual Satanist), and who wrote that “everything in existence is worthy of being destroyed” (incidentally, that fact about the young Karl Marx was uncovered by research done in the 1920s by the Apostolic Nuncio to Germany, Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII).
1/2 No, Mr Rifkind @hugorifkind, it is because I thought a wider audience deserved to know about your unpleasant self-righteous moralising, based on a public assertion of a fact you cannot establish by reference to hard experimental science. https://t.co/sJbZRznFgQ
For what it's worth, supposed infections (actually positive tests in largely healthy people) are falling in many parts of the country. This means that even with a huge govt effort to whack these figures up, they are still dropping in lots of places. See https://t.co/qy8SPww7kT
Nottingham South MP @LilianGreenwood to be congratulated for standing up for her constituents at PMQs. Usual dismissive, useless answer from the increasingly robotic, sloganising dullard Johnson.
Ah…whatever happened to the “brilliant” Boris Johnson, who for 20 years had been puffed as someone who almost had to become Prime Minister? Nothing, because that “brilliant” Boris Johnson never really existed. That Johnson was a construct, firstly by “Boris” himself (the name is in fact itself not real), and by his father, a part-Jew scribbler and careerist; finally, by a collaborative msm.
What is left is the part-Jew, part-Levantine moneygrubber and narcissist, someone who always deflates to nothing when confronted by reality.
“Boris” was sacked as a trainee journalist for making up stories; the same happened when he was working as a journalist. As editor (of the Spectator) he let others do the work while he floated around like a ping-pong ball on the surface, periodically absenting himself for hours or days in order to take cocaine and/or screw Petronella Wyatt and others.
“Boris” also found himself confronted by reality as MP (sacked from Government by his superiors), Mayor of London (failed projects included the useless water-cannon, the abandoned Garden Bridge, buses, the expensive and almost unused Thames cable-car, and “Boris Island); also as Foreign Secretary (abject failure) and now as PM, in which exalted rank he has run the UK into the ground.
“Boris” was always the recipient of unmerited preferment and privilege.
“Boris” is already held in contempt even by his own party. Credible stories emerge that he will go in early-mid 2021. As always, it is “all about him”, how he wants more money from scribbling articles and books, and yet more via the making of after-dinner speeches. He wants to make, and may make, a million a year. He should be shot, or at least compelled to labour for a loaf of rye bread per day, and not rewarded for his crimes (as he probably will be), but this world is short on justice.
1/2 I hope you are right. My own suspicion (and fear) is that the restrictions will be overthrown by popular outrage at the sheer misery of it, rather than by reasoned opposition. This will be quite a dangerous moment for the rule of law and Parliamentary government. https://t.co/RSFkecMZZS
Yes @jonathantimmon1 This increasingly takes the form of collective punishment, for the crime of trying to live a normal life. Like being at a strict-regime 1950s boarding school, an experience I recall. https://t.co/lHaU51TsHr
Most people in most circumstances tend to conform @southlondonscum, and majorities can be beguiled by despots into voting away their liberty. But in fact Germany, especially in the former East, has seen more widespread opposition to the panic measures than many countries. https://t.co/QRcIDUSlrH
In the 1930s, most Brits living in Germany wanted a third way as against both Sovietism (Stalinism) and finance-capitalism (Anglo-Americanism). These days, Brits in Germany (Berlin, mostly) tend to be multikulti zealots, facemask zealots, EU zealots etc. Natural serfs.
1/2 @hugorifkind Why should I give it a rest? You caricature your opponents with smears and sneers, assert a moral superiority which you ahve done nothing to earn, ignorantly misrepresent the undoubted shadow-banning of the Great Barrington Declaration. https://t.co/OrhG76xiH3

I don't care, honestly @hugorifkind. If I were interested in changing anyone's mind, I wouldn't start with yours. I just like to spread more widely the truth about the sort of person you are, and the sort of things you believe. https://t.co/H4EbL78Ysr
The history of the Roman Catholic Church is intimately bound up with our Western civilization. Some of its achievements have been stellar; some of its sins huge. However, the central fact is that the institution is now nearing the end of its time.
The behaviour of the modern Chinese (as a group, and China as a state) is often ghastly and backward. The treatment of the peoples of Western China is one example. However, the comment about the falling European birth-rate, and so the proportion of Europeans in the world, is simple fact. We are being outbred. We need to take care of that in several ways.

If the political management continues like this – never mind the practical management of the Covid crisis – it’s difficult to see how Boris’s Premiership is sustainable.
It never was. Part-Jew, part-Levantine, a shallow public entertainer.

I have had enough. Enough of the nonsense. Enough of the “clap for the State” nonsense. Enough of the busybodies and snitches. Enough of the facemask nonsense. Enough of the (not fully observed anyway) “social distancing” and “Rule of Six” nonsense. Enough of a nonsense government and a part-Jew, part-Levantine “Prime Minister” who has no idea how to properly fulfil his role.
I disagree anyway with the “lockdown(s)”, with the shutting down of the economy and society, and one can see that countries such as Sweden have everything working, and a lower death rate (per 1,000) than the UK.
In the end, our society has to bite the bullet. It seems that the young are scarcely affected, and that even the middle-aged are only somewhat affected. In addition, English and other real British (i.e. white) people are affected less than non-white (including Jews).
I myself am in at least one vulnerable group, at age 64, but say that the time has come to junk all the nonsense of the past 8+ months and revive the society and economy.
It is time to say “Enough!” and open everything up. Let the chips fall where they may.
Many complain about the Jewish lobby bias on some topics covered in Wikipedia. This is why— Jews recruited to censor articles and distort both current events and history:
Can you edit @Wikipedia pages? We need your help to keep information about #antisemitism accurate and up to date!
Expect Wikipedia to be even more pro-Zionist from now on, its pages on many socio-political topics contaminated and distorted.
Incidentally, do not be misled: the bias goes far beyond “information about #antisemitism“, as claimed. Pages on modern and ancient history, religion, geography, biography, political organizations etc.
Wikipedia should be aware also of the fact that, in the notice above, Jews are specifically asked whether they are able to edit Wikipedia; in other words via their own private Wikipedia accounts. Wikipedia will have no idea whether an edit is honest or whether it is part of this co-ordinated campaign by a very malicious group of Zionist Jews.

I hope that the poor saps who criticize me occasionally on Twitter are noting how often I have been proven right since I started writing this blog nearly 4 years ago. I was blogging over a year ago, maybe longer, about how almost everyone, misled by the msm, was thinking of Boris Johnson as a strong leader-type, when his whole history shows the reverse, a weak man without ideas, principles or resilience, untrustworthy, incompetent and without leadership qualities.

@micolajane50. Why was 'lockdown' a mistake? Because it destroyed the economy, led to many needless deaths, gravely damaged liberty and achieved precisely nothing. More detail available on application. https://t.co/u81ZO5NW1S
Incredible that there are people who apparently need to ask “why was ‘lockdown’ a mistake?“, but there again, if you are fairly comfortably off, do not need (for whatever reason) to work for money, perhaps live in the country or outer suburbs and have little social life, you may not have been affected much if at all by the stupid “lockdown” imposition.
Indeed, you may have enjoyed the sense of peace and quiet as society all but shut down, as Nature reasserted itself. If you are or were in that position, your life was not much strained, assuming that you have at least some income. Deliveries of food and drink, ordered online; other shopping ordered online; books, DVDs etc. For those with higher incomes and better properties, there was always the swimming pool and tennis court in which to while away the days…and so on.
Such people can selfishly (not necessarily consciously selfishly) turn blind eyes to the shutdown of industry and commerce, to the terrible shortages affecting charities such as animal charities, among others, and to the socio-economic disaster created but which has not yet arrived (that will be in 2021-2022). They can also, perhaps, ignore the cost in pain and death of the semi-closure of the NHS, which has affected those with non-Coronavirus conditions.
1/2 Great that Tory MPs are awaking from their six-month slumbers. https://t.co/v0Dg7VvaA6 . But not good enough. Write nwo to your MP briefly, politely, acidly: 'You are not representing me. You are not scrutinising government. You are not earning your large salary'
Well, writing a letter or email may have some limited effect. I can only think of one fairly recent event that got the MPs off their chairs pretty excitedly, but having no wish to be bored by police nuisances at my door (again, it having happened a few times in 2017-2018), I do not think that I shall cite that event here.

Memory Lane
I hope that the readers of my blog do not object to the inclusion of some personal reminiscences. Having Saturn in Scorpio, I do tend to think back rather a lot. As the Germans say, “Ruckshau“.
I was just recalling former times, triggered by an email from someone.
Many many years ago, I had a —now-deceased— friend, a lecturer at the language centre of the University of Westminster, who lived in the London Borough of Barnet (I think he was within that borough— North Finchley). A good fellow, a noted translator of Dostoyevsky, called Ig Avsey: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/dec/09/ignat-avsey-obituary
In the late 1980s, I occasionally stayed overnight there (on a very uncomfortable and ancient leather sofa in the drawing room, a cold room decorated with Ig’s collection of massive railway clocks). When Ig remarried in 2000 (a very unsuitable match, to a youngish Russian woman resident in Latvia), the couple came and stayed overnight at the large country house of which my wife and I had a lease, in Cornwall. That was in 2002, I think. Once was enough, to be frank! Sadly, “there’s no fool like an old fool” when it comes to women…
Ig lived in a small close called Wolstonbury, which backed onto a golf course or land near a golf course. A strange menage. For a while, a fellow we both called “Uncle John” lived there too, a former student of Ig’s and an Oxford grad, but middle-aged and, like Ig, divorced. They always reminded me of “The Odd Couple“:
“Uncle John” was a very English person, who was still under the thumb of his ex-wife, Alla Figoff, a Leningrader by origin, and who was in fact another of my occasional teachers (Russian Conversation, I think). Alla lived in their former marital home, an apartment in Devonshire Place (in the West End), while Uncle John was living in one room at Ig’s place…and their two children were both at expensive schools paid for by Uncle John (Marlborough, I think; maybe also Bedales or Benenden, I cannot now remember).
Alla was killed, years later, in a fall from her balcony when she was full of whisky. Uncle John then met and married a very wealthy woman and resumed his place among the palatially-housed.
Ig was a good fellow, whose translations of Dostoyevsky were much-praised (one or two had, amazingly, never been translated previously, such as In the Village of Stepanchikovo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Village_of_Stepanchikovo).
Ig had been born in Latvia, his family having fled Russia during the Revolution and Civil War of 1917-1922. Fleeing Soviet forces again during the Second World War, he spent time in Germany before ending up in Britain when aged about 14, sometime around 1952.
Ig Avsey was the kind of Russian (or part-Russian: he was always rather secretive about his family) who is able to work at a project devotedly for years, without pay or plaudit; one thinks of Mitrokhin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Mitrokhin.
Ig took a year’s sabbatical in order to translate The Brothers Karamazov for Penguin Classics. A decision which brought honour but was financially pretty disastrous. The year, taken on full pay with the blessing of the University, became a second year in which the University reduced his salary to half-pay, then a third on no pay at all. The money paid by the publishers did not begin to make up the shortfall. Ig was a perfectionist who wanted to get it right. For him, Dostoyevsky was the greatest of the Russian writers, I think. He would not compromise.
At the same time as Ig was translating Karamazov, at least two other translations came out, but they were little more than potboilers, produced carelessly because the market seemed to be hopeful. One even used Americanisms such as “district attorney” and “chief of police”! In pre-revolutionary Russia! In fact, Ig did consult me about a couple of odd things (to do with such designations).
The University eventually had enough of the endless absence and Ig was more or less forced into retirement. I do not think that his Penguin contract was very generous either. He was only getting pennies for each volume sold; how many pennies, I cannot recall.
Society needs people like that.

Saw Doctor Zhivago for the first time in a few years; on BBC Four, the only good BBC TV station. Still a magnificent film, despite the relatively few flaws which could easily have been remedied by better pre-filming research, e.g. Communists calling non-Communists “Comrade“, which is erroneous (it would have been just by name or via the title “Citizen“).
I predicted quite a while ago (about 7 or 8 months ago) that any serious Parliamentary opposition to this government of clowns would eventually come —and have to come, in a Parliament where the Government sits on a majority of 80 mostly inexperienced MPs— not from enfeebled and compliant Labour under Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, but from within the Conservative Party itself.
Beria was not alone in the Politburo. Other members had doubts about various core Soviet policies: Collectivization, mass repressions etc. After the death of Stalin, Khrushchev, himself one of the harshest Stalinist repressors in the 1930s and 1940s, arranged (with the rest of the surviving Politburo) to release most of the prisoners of the GULAG labour camp system [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag], and made his famous”Secret Speech” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Cult_of_Personality_and_Its_Consequences] in 1956, after which he appeared internationally as the figurehead of the post-Stalin wave of “the Thaw”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khrushchev_Thaw.
Where was the most significant opposition to Ceaucescu in Romania? In the highest councils of the State itself. Who ordered the execution of Ceausescu and his ghastly wife? Revolutionaries? No, not as such. Palace revolutionaries carrying the rank of general or minister.
Where is any opposition in North Korea? Among peasants and industrial workers? No, they are far too downtrodden, poor and frightened even to think of rebelling. The opposition, as far as it exists at all outside people’s own heads, exists in the higher ranks of the military machine and State officials. Which is why Kim Jong Un has had some (including his own relatives) shot, cut to pieces, fed to dogs etc. He knows where the opposition to him lies.
Reverting to the UK, now staggering under the weight of the governmental mistakes of 2020, we see the same. There is no real opposition from the Labour Party. Those feeble “me too”, bent-knee bad jokes have swallowed the whole “Coronavirus will kill everyone” thing whole. All they do is support the Government or say “do it more!” Nothing can be expected from Labour. In any case, Labour has no power even in potential, having only 202 MPs out of 650.
So we see that opposition to the absurd dictatorship of the clowns now starts to grow from within the Conservative Party itself, from previously-supportive newspapers etc. It may be that the courts will now turn to the illegality of several of the measures that have been taken.

Tory backbench leader Sir Graham Brady says on BBC R4 the government is ruling by decree, and that the national mood is changing. I believe he is right about both. *You* now have a role in amplifying and reinforcing that change, and ending rule by decree.
Painful listening to @BBCR4Today's Martha Kearney repeatedly trying to interrupt Sir Graham Brady as he voices reasoned opposition to rule by decree. Yet the absurd Hancock, as he stomps abut wrecking jobs, lives and freedom, is treated with sycophantic deference by the BBC.
Yes, I too noticed that Martha Kearney, that ridiculous BBC drone, was trying, repeatedly, to close down Sir Graham Brady, and to weaken what Brady was saying about this dictatorship of idiots pretending to be a government.

I effectively never use the railways now, but was talking to a lady who travelled from Hampshire to London then (after taxi transfer) to the “****hole of England” (the Kent estuary) recently. She said that the First Class from Hampshire to Waterloo was empty, and the Kent suburban service almost empty.
How mad is the Government, to keep pumping money into this black hole? It continues to depress the economy by its actions, makes the public scared of their own shadows (or of those nearby), then is surprised that the working masses do not want to commute or attend offices!
Just remember that, out of 8,000,000,000 people in the world, 1,000,000, i.e. 1 in every 8,000, have died from (or, more accurately, with) Coronavirus. That puts this whole “panicdemic” in proportion.

#SayNoToLockdown Hospital cases are rising because they test everyone entering hospital for Covid, regardless of why they had to go to hospital. The tests are at an amplified rate that create false positives, hospitalisations can, therefore, only rise no matter what you do

Lockdown doesn't make the virus go away, all it does is suppress it temporarily. Spain had a far stricter lockdown than the UK, and cases of #Covid19 in Spain are rising again.#SayNoToLockdown
In April they were testing 5,000 a day tops. Now they're testing in excess of 150,000 a day, so of course numbers of cases are going to go up. But, less than 0.5% of the population have had COVID and 0.1% have sadly died. It's no excuse to shut 66 million down #SayNoToLockdown
— Alasdair Murray – the Recruitment Copywriter (@RecruitmentCopy) September 20, 2020
He is right, yet that is the consensus on Twitter, which is always on the wrong side of any question. The Twitterati generally were pro-EU, pro-Remain, thought that Leave could never win the EU Referendum, that Trump could never get elected. They want (more) mass immigration, think that “refugees” are “welcome”; want more “lockdown”, more facemask mandating etc. Many think of themselves, despite that, as pro-“rights” and as “socialist” or at least social-democrat.
The unreality that is the Twitterverse is patent. These people think that you can shut down the economy indefinitely yet pay everyone generously for doing nothing or almost nothing. They think that you can make everyone wear a facemask (which they wrongly imagine “saves lives”) and avoid human interaction, yet build a more altruistic and cohesive “community”. They are asinine and are being easily fooled by the actually transparently poor System propaganda.
Types? Oh, the “if it only saves one life” type, sometimes intensified to “if it only saves one child’s life“. Then there is the hysterical “people are dying!” type. That type does not seem to realize that very few people are dying from “the virus” and many are dying from delayed or cancelled NHS diagnosis, care, treatment and operations.
Other types? Those who, taking their lead from the msm, from talking heads such as Piers Morgan, from the popular Press etc, call anyone questioning the whole “virus” farrago, the facemask nonsense or the “lockdowns”, or who want to live a semblance of what was a normal life, “Covidiots“.
Yet others actually call any people not complying with the facemask nonsense, “murderers“! There is real madness abroad at the present time.
There seem to be many on Twitter and elsewhere who think that the British people (and others) should wear facemasks at all times when not at home (a few nuts even say when at home!), should probably not go to work, or should work masked and muzzled until the Government (in its entirely absent wisdom) so decides; should not send their children to school; should not gather in a group of more than six (what genius came up with that? Boris-idiot? Cummings? Professor “do as I say not as I do” Ferguson?).
Here, below, the real hardcore Twitter type:
The absolute state of some people using #SayNoToLockdown I swear some people shouldn’t be allowed access to the internet.
Well, there it is. If you don’t go along with the “panicdemic” view, if you have dissenting views, if you oppose official propaganda, you should be censored, muzzled, gagged, banned from posting on the Internet. Britain, 2020…(and the above tweeter, the supporter of Soviet-style censorship, is apparently an author, albeit only of science fiction and fantasy).
Here below is another of the same type. He wants anyone disagreeing with his (the System’s) fixed, brainwashed opinion about “the virus” to dig their own graves or those of others…
Here’s another; this one hits all the buttons (“do as the State or others tell you“; “obey the rules and regulations even if illegitimate and invalid“; “shut up, do not dissent, and wear your compliance-muzzle“):
That one probably saw the “million dead from Coronavirus worldwide” headline, and did not stop to think, “that’s out of eight thousand million people”…
Oh, God…just read a few more tweets from “@lilZehnny” (above). A total idiot; a deadhead.
Fortunately, Twitter is not the world, not even the British world. There are many, even on Twitter, taking a more rational view.
Lock down the vulnerable, Well that's who is most at risk right?
As for the rest of us let us ride out the storm with herd immunity and get this nation back on it's feet.#SayNoToLockdown
Hard to believe that many on Twitter actually believe that the rise in “cases” (because of the huge increase in tests being carried out) is somehow the result of “people not obeying the rules the first time”.
As far as I recall, almost all the British people (aka sheep) did in fact obey the (probably legally invalid) “rules” in March, April, May etc. Yes a few people went for a harmless drive in their cars, a few people did walk with their spouses on the hills of the Peak District or wherever. That did not and could not have made any difference whatsoever. Yes, a few “ethnics” did gather in London parks, and some people did go to a few crowded beaches. The effect of that would likewise have been minimal.
Whatever is happening now (another hysterical over-reaction) is not because a few people months ago broke the fake “rules” of the toytown police state.
Let us take it to absurdity: everyone to be “locked down” in their own homes unless designated “essential”, no-one or very few working unless doing so from home. Most retail (and other?) business closed. Schools closed. No-one allowed out without wearing a facemask. No gatherings of more than 6 allowed. What would be the result? Disaster.
The result of a strict lockdown is what we already see signs of happening: companies collapsing; millions thrown out of employment; boarded-up shops; a miserable and muzzled population; children not being educated (in fact, that is the least important effect, because the schools seem to do an appallingly-poor job anyway).
The fact is that, in the end, “the virus” has to be faced down by the population. Businesses have to operate, schools have to be open and operating, hospitals have to be working and actually seeing, diagnosing and properly treating people; dentists too.
The economy must start working, providing jobs, providing tax revenues for the State, providing the wherewithal for the services necessary for the people.
The first tweeter there (“@makesmesadtosee”) has made a cardinal error, seeing all change as “evolution”. Lowering the quality of the population by racemixing is not positive evolution at all; in fact it holds back evolution. Note the implied threat, too…

Quite. I heard recently, on BBC World Service or Radio 4, some person whining that there are insufficient numbers of blacks or browns (“BAME”) on TV. Apparently “only” 13% of TV presenters are black. Looking at the demographic figures for the UK, though, “only” 3% of the UK population, even now, is fully black, and 13% “BAME” (blacks, browns, mixed, Chinese etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom.
So if 13% of TV presenters are “black”, then blacks are actually over-represented; even if 13% of TV presenters are some kind of “BAME”, then they are still not under-represented.

Yes but 1 million haven’t died from covid most of them died with Covid. That’s actually an extremely big difference. The 50k flu deaths we had in 2017/18 in the space of a few months went unnoticed yet mortuary’s were overflowing and nurses needed counselling from all the deaths

The 'revolt' is already coming from the Tory back-benches, which is where we want it, because, having an 80-seat majority, they're actually in a position to do something about the situation….. It's noteworthy that 'the charge' is currently being LED by Sir Graham Brady!
Yes, @minv An election fought between parties ( and media) who disagree only on details and efficiency of implementation of a bad policy, and who have already accepted the conventional drivel that 'We should have locked down harder from the start'. https://t.co/P0P5zOisoC
I have always found it incredible how ingrained in the UK is the idea “this is a free country; we have a general election at least once every 5 years.”…

The government has only one tool -national self-harm – to deal with a problem that can never in fact be solved. Unless we can get rid of them, then this misery and stupidity will go on forever: https://t.co/opruYPbsaO
Would the American black term, “hoes”, be appropriate? I recall seeing on a wall in London, some 33 years ago, “Whitey scum want whitey bum, so whitey chick want big black ****“. Well, you get the idea…
First thing for journalists to do— cease using “Left” and “Right”, which is just anachronistic and lazy political language.
*Now* is the time for civil, lawful, peaceful discontent. Anyone who considers himself or herself a citizen rather than a subject has a duty to use all legal, peaceful avenues of protest.
To all the adults out there I put this question. Have you ever, even in the direr years of John Major or Harold Wilson, experienced a government which so obviously has no idea what it is doing, or a Parliament so useless at holding it to account? So why does it survive?
I was largely overseas during the John Major years, and when I was not overseas I was trying to get work as a barrister in chambers in London. I disliked the governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. I despised and hated the governments of David Cameron-Levita and Theresa May.
Each of those governments was harsher, yet less efficient, than the one before. Each of those governments was also more Jewish and Zionist than the one before, until we arrive at the rule of Boris-idiot, a part-Jew, part-Turk, part God-knows-what public entertainer. His Cabinet is entirely composed of Jews, Indians and a few others, who are all members of Conservative Friends of Israel. The Boris-idiot government is completely incapable, completely incompetent, completely idiotic.
How much more do they have to do to you before you realise a) that you've had enough and b)that they have no idea what they are doing? How did a Tory government of exceptional uselessness obtain and keep the support of almost all the media and political left?
Indeed. Look at the msm. Completely quiescent. Look at the official Opposition. Supporting everything that Boris-idiot does, pretty much (but wanting more of it).
Wake up, people! This is “ZOG” (Zionist Occupation Government) in action.
Not much chance in a Tory stronghold with Kit the Boris bitch Malthouse.
I've challenged him time and time again to the point I got an official letter response. I would happily take on a commando raid, but it won't mean anything when the majority are sheeple.
I think that may be the only thing Johnson *does* know, @suzseddon. His life has collapsed into a dot exactly the same shape and size as him. If one more person tells me he's 'really a libertarian' I may have to be sick. It's what he *does* that shows what he really is. https://t.co/GCLLzu5TuC
The proportions here are absurd. The response is what you might make a to major fatal plague. The cause is nothing like that. Why do ministers get away with their constant fanning of the embers of panic? Why are so many journalists so useless? https://t.co/ajSST2v8DU
Well, there we have it. For Peter Hitchens, the radical thing to do is email MPs threatening not to vote for them, or write a letter. Unsurprising. Hitchens is a man of letters, after all. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini (etc), though not uneducated, were not, primarily, men of letters.

You cannot put new wine into old bottles. A new political movement is necessary. Social-national. Credible. Powerful. Uncompromising.
Not (for example) a “party” led by a woman whose idea of radical action is picketing a mosque, or bleating about how great Jews are (in her opinion). Not (for example) a party which seems to exist to hold conferences, or to post nice pictures on Twitter.
A truly credible, tight party, even if tiny, could gain traction in the situation which looks like developing in the next few years.
That last one’s a killer! “...and how black people have to work harder than white people“! Since when? Maybe on a Boer farm in 1930, thanks to a few blows with a sjambok! Otherwise not.
Some of the replies to the original tweet are so “English” that they should be put in a glass case and exhibited alongside a copy of a Miss Marple book and photographs of England when it was a civilized white country. “You should write to the school“, opines one naive lady; “complain, with other parents“, writes another no doubt well-meaning lady…
When are these people going to realize that we, the white Northern peoples of the world, are in an existential war with the racially and culturally inferior?! The (((ones))) behind it all are sitting in North London gated communities, in Manhattan townhouses, on megayachts etc, manipulating the stupid (“Black Lives Matter” activists, “antifa” dupes etc) to do their bidding.
Members of the teaching “profession” are often prime examples of the rank and file of the brainwashed foot-soldiers of this war against us.
Writing polite letters, complaining to school staff, or to (often packed with enemies of British and European culture) boards of school governors etc will not “do de bizniz”.
Because freedom of expression is now so repressed in the UK, I am effectively barred from writing what I want to write about what should be done. My readers will just have to read between the lines, as has always been the case in unfree countries.
I like some of what Monbiot has to say about environmental matters, and even some of the cited article is not entirely misguided, but the taking of the cretinous “Extinction Rebellion” vandals as a positive example shows a very poor grasp on reality.
If the present form of representative Parliamentary democracy is very unrepresentative, which it is, than how much less representative is the idea of “citizen’s assemblies” etc?
Extinction Rebellion has tried to get people elected once or twice (as Independents, because “XR” is not registered as a political party). Its “co-founder”, Roger Hallam, presently sitting in prison awaiting trial (unless out on bail) stood for election in the 2019 European Elections (for the London constituency). He achieved a vote of 0.04%, 924 votes out of nearly a quarter of a million votes cast.
History shows that “citizen’s assemblies” are always just brief episodes between one state imperium and another: Paris 1789, St. Petersburg and Moscow 1917, Berlin and Munich 1918 etc.
“Citizen’s assemblies” are either chaotic or have to be regularized, which makes them into rough and ready parliaments. As Stalin realized (maybe Trotsky too, thinking of Kronstadt), what then matters is who controls the secretariat behind the assembly…
Monbiot is right, though, in thinking that the present political and electoral system is broken. The UK needs not only a proportional form of voting, but (as mentioned in Monbiot’s article) something that ties taxation and spending closer to the people as a whole. Perhaps a proportion of government spending, whether 10% or 5% (or whatever) left to popular decision and meshed into the taxation system.
The Threefold Social Order concept has never been consciously tried, albeit that it is developing slowly anyway and has been since the Renaissance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding.

Not sure I agree. The remains might well have been flattened or incorporated into a modern structure if this had not been done. Much of ancient Coventry survived the bombs but was destroyed anyway by planners. https://t.co/rPqsprJcDP
I myself do not really know Coventry. I have only been there twice.
I first went to Coventry (to the famous rebuilt modern Cathedral) in 1964, perhaps, at the age of 7 or so. I recall the (literally?) “iconic” metal sculpture of Archangel Michael spearing the Devil (a false memory, I now see, because the Devil, though bound, is not actually speared).
I also recall going into a snack bar (something my family hardly ever did) somewhere near that cathedral, and also visiting a large park which contained quite a few (I think) Indians talking in groups (there were then no Indians, Pakistanis —or blacks, for that matter— in Berkshire or Oxfordshire, at least I had never seen any, with the exception of an NHS consultant ENT doctor from the Caribbean who saw me a few times when aged about 6 or 7 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital).
I made a second visit to Coventry about 15 years ago. I stayed overnight in some Holiday Inn Express (I think). I did not see the better parts of Coventry (if any).
Musical interlude
How long before people really start to chafe?
Increasingly, nothing works in the UK, whether at central government level, local government level, or simply in the retail sphere, e.g. large companies such as Boots. The simplest things are either not done properly or not done at all.
I was just listening to the stupid woman Boris-idiot appointed to run the “Coronavirus” track-and-trace service (which is a total waste of time and money anyway, but let’s leave that aside). One Lady Dido Harding, who has apparently made a career of messing up one high-level job after another, but always getting another one by reason of connections.
Then we have Chris “Failing” Grayling, just appointed to a £100,000 a year job, which may not seem hugely overpaid (though it is several times what most people receive) until you realize that the salary will remunerate Grayling for “about 7 hours per week”. A day a week, and £100K a year… Nearly £300 per hour, or over £2,000 for a 7-hour week. On top of his MP salary (and expenses) and whatever else he is dragging down.
What does one expect of a country that has a useless c**t like Boris-idiot at its helm? I notice that even a deadhead like Toby Young has now woken up:
Yesterday, I blogged that Boris-idiot seemed crushed, in fact flattened, at PMQs. I do not entirely attribute that to Angela Rayner’s fairly brutal putdown. As I blogged, it seems to me that, for the first time, “Boris” has now himself woken up to the fact that his heart is not in the job of being a Prime Minister; perhaps also to the fact that he is useless at it.
Twitter is the home of the ignorant, very often. People are able to post nonsense, which is rarely challenged and often applauded. Look, for example, at the tweet below:
Robert Buckland and Suella Braverman are both barristers
In the UK, lawyers can be struck off for "helping other people to act improperly", for example "knowingly advising or encouraging a client [in this case, the govt] to break the law"
The first sentence is correct. Suella Braverman and Robert Buckland are indeed both barristers, and moreover, and despite their political elevation, remarkably thick ones. Now look at the second sentence.
The “Guidance” gives 8 examples, of which the words cited are part and only part of one: “helping other people to act improperly, such as by giving credibility to a dubious or suspicious investment scheme run by others.”
While the example might, arguing as advocatus diabolus, cover political matters such as in the instant case, it probably would not, particularly as International Law (Public International Law) is not always as fixed as many imagine it to be (I myself studied it as part of my law degree, in the mid-1980s).
I suppose that those provisions might (but would probably not) apply to the behaviour of Suella Braverman and Robert Buckland.
Reverting to the tweet, you can see that the tweeter, one “@RussInCheshire” (why does it always seem to be people from Cheshire or nearby places such as Manchester?!) has that dangerous thing, “a little knowledge” (but not enough). He has tweeted something, with an air of authority, which is wrong in various ways. He has displayed ignorance but, importantly, few of his readers will know that he has tweeted bullshit!
“Russ in Cheshire” (whose Twitter profile is “Designer, coder, analyst, painter, wazzock. Centre-left, Remainer, work in progress and maker of mistakes. Working class Manc in Cheshire“) does at least admit that he is a “maker of mistakes“. My target is not “Russ in Cheshire” but Twitter itself. Not that the tweeter’s 103,000 (!) followers will be much misled. Most probably missed the tweet anyway.
What a waste of time Twitter is! I use tweets to illustrate my blog but most tweets are of little use and almost all are forgotten in minutes. Ephemeral. Political influence very limited.

This government and its servants are an elected tyranny, elected only by manipulation, lies and sheer chance. Illegitimate government. When will determined people take it on?
Hitchens is not so clever here. Yes, UK banking and other jobs could be done and are being done from China and India, because “our” illegitimate tyrannical government is globalist, Zionist-infested, and finance-capitalist. Were the UK government (as it should be) social-nationalist, the above cartoon would not be true. British jobs for British people!

More tweets and news
Britain has given up any pretence of being a “free country”:
This is how a relatively free country becomes a police state. First, laws restricting so-called “hate speech”, which is quickly interpreted by the police (egged on by the Jewish element) to mean any political dissent of a nationalist character. Secondly, a contrived “emergency”. Third, laws passed on the nod, by a rubberstamp Parliament, and by manipulation of existing ambiguous statutes. Fourthly, repressive measures such as restrictions on assembly, travel, and mandates to enforce use of facemask muzzles. Fifthly, curfews (why?) etc, announced by thick drones such as Kit Malthouse.
The government and its servants have declared war on the British people.
No longer even a pretence that the UK is anything other than a “velvet glove” (so far) police state.
Looking beyond the encroaching police-state-ism, what will happen between now and the end of 2022, that most significant year? As far as the UK is concerned, it seems that unemployment will soon be in the several millions, that there will either be tax rises or heavy spending cuts, and that the people will be left desperate for a party to defend them in a situation where both “main parties” are basically Jew-Zionist and finance-capitalist fronts for globalism and the New World Order [NWO]. “ZOG”.
Sooner or later, the UK currency will collapse or depreciate significantly. Already we see the wealthy putting money into hedging assets: country estates, gold etc.
This is the calm before the storm. At the right time, a social-national movement can arise. I am not talking of, or not only of, System elections. It is possible that, despite the toytown police state, a movement might arise to sweep away what presently contaminates the UK.

As noted previously, the absurd thing is that the once-“rebellious” parts of the population, meaning the “civil rights” “activists”, the “socialists”, etc, are now begging the State to take away their remaining freedoms, begging the State for stricter “lockdowns”, “social distancing”, wearing of facemask muzzles, curfews, fines, being ordered about by stupid little nobodies with clipboards etc, not to mention the Stasi-style informer culture being established by the most Jew-Zionist “government” Britain has ever had. “Socialism” died not with a bang but a whimper, and it whimpered “control us”…

“Wouldn’t it be better to focus on shielding the vulnerable, instead of shackling the entire population? And above all, the six-million-dollar question: is this insistent nannystatism really the only way?
A few weeks ago I wrote in these pages about my recent visit to Sweden. Right from the start, the Swedes had no lockdown, no masks and no curfews. When I visited, I found the restaurants and bars packed.
The shops were a little quieter than usual, but still busy enough. Life, in other words, was going on. Mere anecdotal evidence, some people said. And it’s true that back in the spring, the Swedes made a complete mess of shielding their care homes, which drove up their fatality rates.
Even so, just look at the facts. Without imposing sweeping restrictions, and by trusting people to behave responsibly, the Swedes have avoided a second surge. Their figures for Covid deaths in the last three days were 2, 1 and 4 respectively.”
“They’ve also avoided the worst of the economic damage. According to figures released this week, the Swedes actually made a £4bn budget surplus last month. By contrast, our most recently monthly figure was a deficit of £27bn.”[Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Mail]
Now it appears that Boris-idiot is intending to spend £100 BILLION or more on useless testing. This is going beyond mere incompetence. It is getting to the point where Boris-idiot and the Cabinet of Clowns can be regarded collectively (with the “scientific advisers, as well) as an existential danger to the British people. They should be put down, pro bono publico, starting with Boris-idiot.
I sincerely hope that those busybodies get a good kicking.
Ha ha! Was just reading some of the Daily Mail readers’ comments, and I predict that the new toothless Handmaid’s Tale militia busybodies will face resistance. One reader said that they might end up upended in a wheelie bin! That, in turn reminded me of a incident from the mid-1980s.
When one of the Soviet ballet or dance ensembles visited the UK in the 1980s (I forget which one it was, out of several tours with which I had peripheral contact at the time via people I knew), the large group visited a number of Northern cities.
One day, a few of the main dancers were in, I think, Liverpool, along with their interpreter and their “Ministry of Culture” (KGB) minder. At one point, local “youths” decided to push over some wheelie bins and dustbins. Observing this, the KGB man asked an English person also there, “may I pliss do something about zis?” and, with that, approached the main youth, who was initially truculent until lifted up bodily and smashed into some more bins, with much clattering. End of the nuisance…
These new “marshals” remind me of the “PCSO” “police” (who are not actually police but sort-of look like them, and get paid about half as much). When the Jewish pack were trying to get me into trouble one way or the other, several years ago (in fact, I think that this particular incident happened in 2014 or 2015), the police were pressed into service, and a PCSO actually appeared at my now-humble home. A blonde woman from somewhere like Yorkshire transplanted to Hampshire, she had clearly not only failed to become a real policewoman but also dropped out of the Charm School.
The woman claimed that the Metropolitan Police wanted to speak to me and that my telephone number was required. I gave it to her. She wrote it down. I was told that the Metropolitan Police officer would be calling me at a certain time late that afternoon. In fact, there was no call.
The PCSO waste of space reappeared the following day, furious that I had (deliberately, she alleged!) “given her the wrong number” (I had not), and she said that if necessary she would call for a (real) police officer to come. I reiterated that she had been given the right number. I repeated it. The thick bitch checked. She had written down two repeated digits, but the right number had three repeated digits. The charmless bitch had written down the number wrongly but preferred to pretend that I had deliberately misled her.
The “Metropolitan Police officer” never did call me. There was a kind of ending to the story, though. I saw the aforesaid bitch in Waitrose some weeks later, buying some kind of “free-from” health food snack bars. I stood there until she turned around and saw me. She jumped! Ha ha! She maybe thought that I was about to assault her or worse. Let’s hope so…
I feigned amiability and said hello. She replied, dully. The woman actually then had the effrontery to ask me whether “anything happened” in relation to her visit to me. I thus had the opportunity to reply, “No; never heard anything. I expect that the police must have made a mistake.” Touché…
I did see the bitch once more, again some weeks later, after hours of heavy rain had just stopped. She was “walking the beat” down a side-road in the nearby town. Right next to her was a large and deep puddle, about 20 feet long. I had an unholy desire to drive and indeed roar past her, depositing a tsunami of rainwater all over her, but good sense prevailed (sadly…but she would either have recognized me or got my number). I took another way around.
In the following months, the Hampshire Police made most if not all of the PCSOs in my part of the county redundant for costs reasons, so she was probably chucked onto the dole. I hope that she was. Power-mad bitches like that should not be irritating and harassing members of the public and trying to intimidate them. Maybe she will apply to become one of Boris-idiot’s “Covid marshals”. If so, I hope that I see her patrolling after another cloudburst. I am less patient these days.

Free speech going out of the window. You don't have to agree (not sure if I ever have) with David Vance and Katie Hopkins. This is a worrying trend. https://t.co/i7xBBqY5kk
I never had much time for David Vance, the minor politico from Northern Ireland, who has now been “suspended” from Twitter (probably expelled in reality, like me, Katie Hopkins and thousands of others).
Vance is an unpleasant man who was rude to me on at least two occasions. Probably a minor freemason, certainly pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby. A typical Northern Irish/Scottish “kosher nationalist” or Unionist, in short.
These “kosher nationalists” never seem to see that, no matter how much they proclaim their misguided devotion to Jewry and Israel, the Jewish element hates them anyway, as do those dupes of the Jews known as “antifa” (who often, and risibly, tend to be both pro-Jew and anti-Israel!).
Having said that, Vance’s expulsion is the latest attack on free speech on Twitter.
The funny thing is that the anti-free speech types on Twitter (Jews, “antifa” etc) fail to see that their tweeting accomplishes nothing in the real socio-political world. Not only are tweets ephemeral but people tweet in little bubbles or, as often said, “echo-chambers”. I see the same people tweeting pretty much the same things to each other that I have seen for a decade.
I repost tweets on my blog because it is a quick way of making points or taking the pulse, but tweets have no real weight, politically.
[Update, 2 February 2022: Well, “Dave Spart”/Dave Monk has himself now been “deplatformed”! Point proven, I think. The Twitter wannabee revolution has devoured (another of) its own children. “I’m lovin’ it!“]
That “@TheRealGrumpDad” idiot, above, like many of the same sort, fails to see that his formula “you have free speech but not freedom from the consequences of that speech” could be said of, say, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Mao’s China etc. Yes, you can say whatever you like, but say the wrong thing and there will be “consequences” (imprisonment, even execution).
“GrumpDad” is not alone in his defective reasoning. A law lecturer from East Anglia, one Paul Bernal (a descendant of the part-Jew Marxist scientist J.D. Bernal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Bernal), often tweets in similar vein. Pathetic.
Those who rub their hands in glee as dissenting voices are censored or expelled from, eg, Twitter, seem not to realize that, if all peaceful means are taken away, people will turn to less peaceful means. In other words, there are “consequences” to actions as well.

As I have said previously, I favour exit from the EU and have done so for a long time, well over a decade, but the fact is that several prime ministers of the UK have messed it up. That applies especially to Theresa May and Boris-idiot.
I may have been mistaken on one point: I thought that the UK would in reality stay under the EU’s rule even if the UK left the EU formally. Some kind of “agreement”, so little change on the ground (akin to the past year). To my surprise, it now seems that the UK might really leave, and under conditions of chaos and confusion. We read of government contingency plans involving the use of troops to contain urban discontent if there are shortages of medicine and even food.
In the immortal words of that little moneygrubbing MP, Johnny Mercer, this is shaping up to be be a complete “shitshow”.
Add to the above Brexit confusion the “virus” absurdities of this government, the continuing migration-invasion, and the general economic slide (including the slide in confidence and currency) and you have the basic conditions for a situation in a year or two which is, in principle, very favourable for social nationalism.
Asset-buying
The very wealthy are buying assets. Confidence in the pound sterling is waning. Gold continues to appreciate in value, and I have noticed that, compared to 10 or even 5 years ago, large estates are not readily available now for any money. For example, Rightmove had numerous large Scottish estates for sale at any one moment during the years 2010-2018 or 2019, but now there are few. Any that come onto the market go quickly.
The same is true of England. Valuable real estate is being bought up now, as a hedge. For example, one place, a house with 40 acres and a sea view, and only a mile from my own humble home, has just sold for £8.5 million, having been up for sale for weeks only. Another, about 5 miles away, seems to have sold for about £6 million.
These otherwise unremarkable incidents are all signs of a lack of confidence in both cash and equities.
Meanwhile, we are in the hands of people whose incompetence is boundless, led by a total idiot who has somehow been elevated to the position and rank of a prime minister, but who is incapable of fulfilling that role with even modest competence.
Boris-idiot is now planning to spend £100 BILLION (!) on entirely useless daily or weekly testing of the entire population! For a disease or condition which is now killing only 1 person out of thousand upon thousand of the population! It is madness. As said before, is this just total incompetence, or is it a form of conspiracy and treason?
BREAKING: Latest figures show there have been no covid-related deaths, recorded by hospital trusts in the West Midlands, for a week. It's the first time this has happened since the start of the pandemic. pic.twitter.com/VWZWEhB0To
Still more Muzzle Fanaticism. Collective punishment. https://t.co/nfxQxXeDbN Like all such repressive rules, an endless opportunity for jobsworths, busybodies and 'computer says no' merchants to make life that bit more miserable. And for what end?
