[“She’d been abandoned by a neighbor and left to survive in a shed since July—lonely, freezing, and slowly fading. By November, winter was settling in hard, and I knew she wouldn’t make it much longer. So I made a choice. I drove five hours and brought her home. She arrived severely underweight, dehydrated, and exhausted. Her fur felt dry and brittle, and she looked like she’d been holding on by the thinnest thread. I set her up in my bathroom with food, water, and a warm, quiet place to rest—far from the chaos of my other cats. She ate. She drank. And for the first time in months, she slept safely. I’m taking her to the vet as soon as I can, to see what she needs and whether she’s ready to meet the rest of the household. I don’t know yet if she’ll stay with me forever or if she’ll find another loving home. But what I do know is this: She’s no longer abandoned. She’s no longer cold. She’s no longer alone. Right now, she has warmth, safety, and someone who cares enough to give her a second chance. And sometimes, that’s where healing begins.”]

As remarked on the blog numerous times over recent years, the very people who, once, would have gone to the barricades for free speech (writers, journalists, editors, TV people etc) are now the very ones most keen to see censorship, gagging of dissidents, “cancelling” those with “wrong” opinions etc. The Jew-Zionist influence is behind most of it.

Many, perhaps most, people in the UK, however, are still at least partly brainwashed by the panicdemic/scamdemic fear propaganda of 2020-2022. Many have still not connected the dots (i.e. closing down economy and society for two years means less money for everything, including the sainted NHS, which has been reduced to a very basic service most of the time…still clapping?).
Ironically, those most fervently in favour of “lockdowns” etc are often the same ones who decry the subsequent and indeed consequent government spending cuts, just as those most in favour of the migration-invasion are often the ones crying out for a better welfare state….

Indeed, the same block, though couple of numbers down, was also where, in 2001-2002, I myself worked and was the nominal chief of a branch of a niche American law firm doing work in the former Soviet Union, offshore jurisdictions, Brazil etc. In fact, I was the leaseholder or licence-holder (I forget exactly which).

“A new civil service internship scheme will be open only to working-class students as part of a drive to make Whitehall better reflect the country, the government has said.

The Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said the action was being taken because applicants from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were less likely to get a place on the so-called fast stream.“

“Baroness” Deech, a Jew-Zionist academic now elevated to the House of Lords, headed the Bar Standards Board, or BSB, when “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], of which she was also a member, complained about my socio-political views, in or about 2014.
The “baroness” was still, I believe, the head of the BSB when the decision was taken to haul me before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal, though by the time the “trial” took place, in 2016, she had been replaced by another mouthpiece for Israel and the Jewish lobby, a retired diplomat who had been involved in recovering property allegedly confiscated from Jews in mainland Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.
In other words, the Jewish/pro-Jewish influence on the BSB meant that the decision to “prosecute” me was flawed ab initio, being totally unobjective; biased.
I made those points at my Tribunal hearing in late 2016, but the chairman of the panel, a retired circuit judge, refused to take them as particularly significant, though he described my overall “case” as “unprecedented.”
Incidentally, the malicious Jewish cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] was also involved in conspiring to get me disbarred, behind the scenes, though the actual complaint was formally signed off by yet another “UKLFI” (etc) Jewish barrister (of whom I had never heard), one Goldberg, now about 80 and apparently once Counsel for, inter alia, the infamous part-Jew gangsters, the Krays.

Good news; long overdue they are a public nuisance at best.
[“BREAKING: The UK Charity Commission is now investigating the charitable wing of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), following a complaint from CAGE International. CAGE submitted the complaint last month against both UKLFI and the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA). The Charity Commission confirmed the investigation last week. The complaint detailed how UKLFI and CAA have helped egitimise Israel’s racist, apartheid and genocidal policies. It also states both groups have been making malicious complaints to universities, employers, and regulatory bodies to silence pro-Palestinian voices. These actions have caused serious harm to individuals. The Charity Commission must end the charity cover used to provide an advocacy infrastructure in support of genocide. To find out more about UKLFI and CAA, read our report Britain’s Apartheid Apologists: https://cage.ngo/product/report-britain-s-apartheid-apologists.“]

The judge sentenced Caesar-Harrison to a total of 6 years and 6 months in a young offenders institution for the offences. This was reduced from 12 years due to Caesar-Harrison’s lack of maturity, low functioning, vulnerability and additional challenges of prison, the judge explained to the court.”
“A teenager has been jailed for life after being found guilty of the murder of a man in North London in May 2022. Reuben Bernard, 19, was a member of a gang of men who travelled to Barnet in the early hours of May 11, 2022.

The Israelis obviously intend to demolish the whole of Gaza, kill or drive out the Arab population, then resettle Gaza with Jews. A kind of smaller-scale copy of what they did in the 1948 “Nakba“, i.e. ethnic cleansing and theft of land. After that, settlement by Jews.

I keep seeing stories on msm platforms such as various newspapers, such as Sky News etc, telling of how someone or other (e.g. “young mum with two children“), someone actually British, is homeless, cannot even get secure (if inadequate) temporary accommodation; and that is all very enraging for many (including me).
Few, however, in the msm or in the ranks of the Labour Party pseudo-socialists (or have Labour partisans now given up even pretending to be “socialist” in any real sense?) openly link the housing crisis or homelessness crisis with the migration invasion (not just the “small boats” but the whole invasion). Between half a million and over a million every single year.
Rachel Reeves and the rest of Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal (posing as a legitimate government) want to build hundreds of thousands of hutches on England’s once green and pleasant land. Most will be going to non-whites. Fact. Will any go to the real British homeless? I doubt it. Already, the migrant-invaders (even the “small boat” invaders) are being prioritized before real British people.
Britain needs a social-national revolution.
Stray thoughts about the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election
I do not know who will win. At present it looks quite open, though Kamala Harris is, more than Trump, looking like the favourite.
For me, it is almost incredible that anyone could vote for a semi-educated and non-white woman such as Kamala Harris, even as compared to a man such as Donald Trump, with all his flaws.
However, one always has to consider the very low level of education and culture among the vast bulk of Americans. Also, the unbelievably naive and simplistic motivations for voting. I saw some silly old woman on TV news a couple of days ago, seriously (in her own little mind) saying that she had never voted before, but was going to vote for Kamala Harris because…Kamala Harris is a woman. That old woman voter is not alone. There are millions, maybe tens of millions, who will vote for Kamala Harris purely on the basis of her sex.
Likewise, it can be surmised that there are further tens of millions, almost all non-white, who will vote for Kamala Harris because she is non-white. We saw that during the Obama campaign of 2008, in which Obama, despite being half-European by racial background, was always described as “black”; later, too, as “the first black President“, not “the first mixed-race President”…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Early_life_and_career].
So the dice are loaded against Trump, though no doubt some will also vote for Trump because he is a white man. As Jack London said, “I am a socialist, but a white man first“…
I should prefer a Trump win, but mainly, if not entirely, because Trump would, I hope, stop the war in Ukraine by —I hope— cutting off arms, ammunition, money, and intelligence assistance to the Kiev regime.

Same thing in the US, where "the most important election of our lifetime" is playing out without a single person on either side using the words "lockdown", "Covid" or "vaccines".
They really think they can pretend none of it happened.
Just as the msm constantly brings up heartrending stories about homeless people, young couples unable to buy a house even with a mortgage (which are often unavailable anyway) without once mentioning the fact that the UK is experiencing a migration-invasion— not just the “small boats”, either. 500,000-1,000,000 a year.
[except for “4 million”, substitute “15-20 million”..]
“The UK Government, urged on by Labour and almost all the media, spent £450,000,000,000 on Lockdowns with worse results than Sweden. This could have been invested in :- 18 nuclear power plants OR 60 Aircraft Carriers or 1,285 Hospitals or 15,000 Universities or 15,000 Secondary schools or £793,218 for every teacher in the UK or £73,770 to everyone claiming Universal Credit in the UK £35,714 for every pensioner in the UK.
I could go on, but it is absolutely clear that the lockdown response has totally wrecked this country, and this is before you factor in the cost of living caused by lockdowns.
On top of that, we have a generation of children damaged emotionally, socially, mentally and physically by lockdowns, huge chunks of their lives torn from them, sacrificed on the altar of a nonsensical and unscientific public policy disaster.
We will be paying for this for years, if not decades. The politicians and, their media lackeys, the civil service and the rest of the establishment who pushed for lockdowns need to be held accountable.”
Many, perhaps most, people just prefer, maybe subsconsciously, lies (if easier on the mind) to uncomfortable truths.
For many, it is the same when it comes to mass immigration and/or migration-invasion.

I would love to see the US distance itself greatly from Israel. The Middle East has changed. We have bought the silence of Egypt, Jordan & Saudi Arabia. They will not attack Israel. We can change our policies towards Israel. It’s in our beta interest as a nation.
I strongly support that. I was quite shocked to hear, in 1989, in Warsaw, and from the lips of a Polish girl I knew slightly, that my old haunt, Raoul’s (cafe) in Little Venice (London), where she had worked (she used to serve me my coffees) would take a high percentage of the tips given to the wait staff. That money would, so I was told, go to the woman who owned the cafe. Disgraceful.
Incidentally, the manager of the cafe at that time was a very pleasant young-ish Lebanese, who referred to the Jews who were a fairly large proportion of the clientele as “the Chosen“. Sardonic.
Apropos of nothing much, that Lebanese seemed to regard me as omniscient when it came to knowing who —using the cafe— was who. By way of example, I remember him asking once, in the 1990s, who was the black man sitting with a rather spectacularly-dressed black —I think African— woman. The manager asked me to go into the cafe —I was seated outside— and pretend to order something so that I could take a look.
I was able to identify the black man as Paul Boateng [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Boateng#Member_of_Parliament]. I had seen Boateng previously, not only on TV but also in person, when he was at Harrow Crown Court as Counsel in 1992 or 1993. It may be that he lived somewhere in the Maida Vale area; I do not know.
Do you think in retrospect the government should or should not have done the lockdowns to try and prevent the spread of Covid‑19?
The brainwashing fear propaganda has deeply embedded itself in the mass psyche. Only a quarter of the population are awake to the realities, even now, years later.

Nigel Farage + Reform have never had as much space as today:
-immigration No.1 issue -borders broken -cost of living crisis -public service cuts looming -Tory brand toxic -woke/DEI on steroids -unpopular Labour govt -public trust record low
Reform UK is still not the choice of most people or even a plurality. In my view, the people want, but subconsciously, social nationalism, but that has not come to expression either in the mass psyche or in objective reality— the movement and/or party does not exist. Not yet, anyway.

“A GP worried about his inheritance disguised himself as a nurse and injected deadly poison into his victim, who thought he was getting a home-visit Covid booster, a court has heard.
Thomas Kwan was not injecting Covid vaccine into Patrick O’Hara, prosecutors allege, but a poison that gave O’Hara a rare and life-threatening flesh-eating disease.
“Sometimes, occasionally perhaps, the truth really is stranger than fiction,” said Peter Makepeace KC as he opened the prosecution case against Kwan at Newcastle crown court on Thursday.
Kwan, 53, is accused of attempting to murder O’Hara, his mother’s long-term partner and a “potential impediment” to him inheriting her estate.
The court heard Kwan devised an intricate plan to kill 71-year-old O’Hara, who lived in Newcastle with Kwan’s mother, by disguising himself as a community nurse and injecting him with poison.
Makepeace said the plan involved Kwan forging NHS documentation, disguising himself, using false number plates, and booking in to a hotel using a false name.
Police recovered a photograph from Kwan’s computer of him in disguise with a wig, beard and moustache.
“It was an audacious plan,” Makepeace told the jury. “It was a plan to murder a man in plain sight, to murder a man right in front of his own mother’s eyes, that man’s life partner.”

Looks like a case so unusual that it may go down in criminal history, and be found in “true crime” anthologies, in television series etc.
The Prosecution Counsel in the case is someone with whom I was once acquainted, we both being part of a group of about 7 or 8 Bar students grouped together for the “Practical Exercises” which were then (1987-88) part of the Bar Finals course at the Inns of Court School of Law in London. All our names began with “M”. After that time, I only encountered Makepeace a few times: once or twice in a robing room (where barristers get changed for court) at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, I appearing at the High Court, he in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division); and once at the christening of a baby, child of two others of the same Bar School group. He was then based at York.

Natalie Elphicke
This isn't true. All MPs leaving will get nearly £20k as a "winding down payment". Additionally those that fight the GE will get an additional redundancy sum according to their time in parliament. Elphicke has been there 1 term so it would have been be something less than £5K.
Whatever the facts of that, there are facts that are indisputable: Natalie Elphicke could have stood at GE 2024 as Con Party candidate. She received 56.9% of the vote in 2019 under that aegis.
I was puzzled as to why Natalie Elphicke crossed the floor, she after all knowing that a general election had to be called sometime before a date in January 2025. Does she have some better offer from outside Parliament? Seems doubtful to me.
Natalie Elphicke gives me a dual impression: not particularly intelligent, but particularly focussed on her own ambitions.
As a former member of Lincoln’s Inn, I have met several people over the years who were (as was Natalie Elphicke— see the Wikipedia entry) beneficiaries of Hardwicke scholarships. None impressed.
I saw this comment:
“Hardwicke Scholarships aren’t that prestigious. A mere submission of an application is more than enough to win one. They give about 150 away each year, and not many more people apply to each inn for a scholarship, surprisingly enough.” [online commentator].
I think that the real figure is nearer to 100 than 150.
To intrude a personal comment, I recall a young blonde lady barrister who (unsuccessfully, in all cases) opposed me in court a number of times during 2002-2008 when I was in chambers in Exeter (she was in another set, also in Exeter). She was a former Hardwicke scholar, just like Natalie Elphicke. I used to think of her as “Mrs Malaprop”, because her use of English was so poor. Comically so. A pretty poor barrister in terms of both legal knowledge and presentation, in my view, though wearing a sense of self-importance as thick as a suit of armour.
I had better not name that lady, mainly for reasons of propriety (I am too poor now to be worth suing; and there would be no basis for such a suit anyway). I just looked her up online for the first time, and found that she is still in Exeter, and still in the same chambers as she was 20+ years ago, apparently flourishing like the green bay tree.
I note that, having been Called to the Bar in 1994, only a few years after me, Natalie Elphicke decided to leave the Bar and to convert to be a solicitor (something that, at least then, basically meant filling out a few forms).
Natalie Elphicke only worked as a lawyer for a year or two, as a salaried employee of the Inland Revenue (as was; now HMRC) during 1995-1997. She married her now ex-husband, Charlie Elphicke, in 1995. They have two children. She appears to have returned to legal work for a year or two during the years 2011-2013, before helping to found a company which was dissolved 2-3 years later.
After that, her husband’s connections seem to have got her a couple of brief public appointments in the years 2016-2019, as well as the CEO job at the Housing and Finance Institute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_and_Finance_Institute. This may not be very lucrative, though, looking at the Institute’s funding. Hard to say.
Many will know that, though having displayed (performative?) “loyalty” to her disgraced MP husband, Charlie Elphicke, during his trial, Natalie Elphicke had by then already taken over as MP for Dover in 2019. She separated from him in 2020, and later divorced him, prior to which she sold her story to the Sun “newspaper” for £25,000. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/deal/news/mp-wife-of-naughty-tory-paid-25k-to-tell-all-234749/.
I have to say that I agreed (and still agree) with Natalie Elphicke’s comment at the time of her husband’s unsuccessful appeal (against sentence only— he had been sentenced to 2 years, plus £35,000 costs, and was released after a year) that the 2-year sentence was harsh. He had really done very little: “During his trial the court heard how Elphicke groped one of his accusers, chased her around his house, and sang “I’m a naughty Tory, I’m a naughty Tory.” [Wikipedia].
I should have thought that a suspended sentence would have been enough. From what I read at the time, his three crimes were all just silly, really; almost identical, too, and surely only just coming within the “sex crime” area. Pathetic more than anything, in my opinion.
To my mind, if crimes and criminals can be divided into “bad, sad, or mad“, Charlie Elphicke’s conduct was surely “sad“, with a dash of “mad“, but nothing seriously “bad“.
Having —whether rightly or wrongly, and I think rightly— identified Natalie Elphicke as a “go for the main chance” opportunist, why on Earth did she defect to Labour? Looking at the electoral statistics for Dover, she had a very good chance of being re-elected. Maybe Starmer offered her a peerage (seems unlikely, though), or some quango chair (more likely), or a safe Labour seat (relatively unlikely, surely?).
I admit, Mrs. Elphicke’s motivation is still puzzling to me.
As to Charlie Elphicke, I had little time for him when he was an MP, but I have to say that his fall from status and relative affluence has the elements of a minor Greek tragedy. Apparently, he now lives in a small rented flat somewhere like Earl’s Court, and may (I do not know) be either unemployed or working in some obscure occupation. I can find no record of him still on the Solicitors’ Register, and the same is true of Natalie Elphicke, but as far as I know both are still able to practise; again, I cannot say.
Turns out that the Elphickes bought a house on the Kent coast for about £800,000 in 2012, and were able to sell it only a decade later for over £1.5M. The house almost doubled in value in 10 years. A commentary upon the house-price madness in this country.

"In the latest polls, this week, Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, and the Reform Party averaged 11.2%, compared to 11% before Rishi Sunak called the election. There is basically no evidence, yet, that Reform is being squeezed" https://t.co/5t6abIHJtn
There is also no evidence that Reform UK is getting anywhere. Nothing lower than an across-the-board 20% will win any seats; even a few percent more may only win a small handful, maybe 3-5. 11%, 12%, even 15%, is “nowhere” territory in seat-winning terms.
The LibDems and Greens are on a lower nationwide support, yet have seats in the Commons because their vote is concentrated, here and there.
Having said that, I make two points. Firstly, most intending Reform UK voters know perfectly well that RF is not going to win many, if any, seats. Their vote is a protest vote and/or a way of kicking the Sunak government and Conservative Party, by weakening greatly the Con Party vote in almost every constituency, but without voting Labour.
Secondly, as mooted yesterday, there may be a number, perhaps even a large number, of “secret Reform UK voters”, who do not show up in the opinion polls because they say “Don’t Know” or nominate a mainstream party out of embarrassment. Very English, arguably.
"Just before Rishi Sunak called the election Labour averaged 45.5% and the Tories 23.3%. Today? Labour’s averaging 43.8% and the Tories 24.5%. Labour's lead has barely moved at all. There's not much evidence (yet?) disillusioned Tories are returning" https://t.co/5t6abIHJtn
I doubt whether the usual general election convergence will happen this time. People hate and despise the useless Conservative Party governments of the past 14 years, and especially the past 5 years. That includes a huge number of 2019 or previous Con voters.
In fact, I should not be surprised were the Lab-Con gap to widen, though more because the Cons may slide again rather than because Labour increase their percentage.
Keir Starmer has said he is a socialist – do Britons agree, and is it a good thing?

General Election news
According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that might result in a House of Commons with 541 Lab MPs, 46 LibDem, 28 Con, 12 SNP, 3 Plaid Cymru, 2 Green, and 18 various Northern Irish.
On those figures, what Disraeli described as “the great Conservative Party, which destroys everything“, would be itself almost destroyed, reduced to a rump of 20 MPs; not even the official Opposition, which would be the LibDems.
Such a result would be a strategic defeat for the SNP too. 12 MPs, down from 56 (out of 59) at the 2015 peak, and 48 at the 2019 GE.
I get the impression that the SNP’s version of fake “nationalism” (blame England/the UK for everything, keep importing non-whites into Scotland, and think it normal to have a Pakistani as First Minister) has well and truly foundered on the rocks of socio-political reality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.
Of course, a change in the Labour vote of even one point either way would add several to (or subtract several from) the Conservative total, and even more to or from the Labour total.

“Ukraine knows that it’s all over” While the UK is preoccupied with the general elections, Kyiv “cannot withstand Putin’s brutal attack,” reports the British The Telegraph. Main points:
Kiev was forced to transfer thousands of soldiers to the northeastern part of the front line to try to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kharkov region.
The war is reaching a critical point as Western interest in helping Ukraine risks weakening again.
Zelensky seems to understand that time is running out for Ukraine: over the weekend he called on Joe Biden and Xi Jinping to take part in the upcoming “peace summit” in Switzerland.
Zelensky’s team is concerned about the shift of attention in the United States to internal elections: Ukraine is receding into the background.
The harsh reality is that Ukraine risks simply running out of people to fight.“
Exactly.
I have, on the blog, been saying for 2 years that Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

I doubt that such as Zoe Gardner (“@ZoeJardiniere” on Twitter/X) will be volunteering, despite having made a career out of supporting the migration-invasion of the UK. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoe-gardner-8545b479/.
People of that sort sit, usually in leafy affluent areas, promoting the migration-invasion of Europe, including the UK, while “outsourcing” the consequent misery of the collapsing “multicultural” dystopia to others— the poorer people of this country.
At present, somewhere between three-quarters of a million and over a million immigrants are arriving in the UK each year. The vast majority, almost all, remain, though a couple of hundred of thousand people (but mostly real British people) are leaving each year, mostly to go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Spain. The foreign influx in terms of population change is about 1M-1.5M. Every single year.
Few of those (maybe 5%, if that) are arriving in “small boats” (actually, ferried from just off the coast of France by the RNLI, Coastguard, Border Force, and Royal Navy, all of which organizational names are now a self-parody).
The flood of “dependent relatives”, “spouses”, “fiances/fiancees”, “students”, “asylum-seekers” and “highly skilled workers” (Indians who can work a computer) continues apace. About 3,000, every single day.
One of the worst aspects of both central and local government in the UK is the apparent inability of both politicians and officials to think things through. If we do this, what happens to that and that and that down the line?
Forget the Rwanda Plan, which is an object lesson in present-day UK governmental futility. Only applies to a few percent of immigrants anyway, and will only ever be able to deport a few hundred a week at best (and at huge cost per deportee and in toto), while thousands each week are arriving on the cross-Channel route alone.
Incidentally, about 80% of “asylum-seekers” are allowed to remain anyway, once “processed”.
The pathetic Rwanda “plan” is in any case going to be scrapped by the expected Labour Party “elected” dictatorship, which will be the Government of the UK by early next year at latest.
So we are living in a country where the population is changing fast, and not for the better.
By 2034, another 10M or more, maybe another 15M+ will have arrived. Most will be effectively unskilled, most will be more or less parasitic, quite a substantial minority will be hostile or criminal, many will not even speak, read, or write basic English, and the UK has nowhere even to warehouse these masses of unwanted invaders.
Meanwhile, the British people are becoming poorer, suffering ever-lower living standards, are unable, most of them, to buy or even rent suitable accommodation, and are sharing their ever-poorer, ever-less pleasant cities and towns with a multiracial, multicultural, polyglot mixture of peoples, mostly from the most backward countries of the world.
“World thinktank Globsec reckons a “sudden drop” in aid packages to Ukraine from the West could be the trigger for a Russian victory. The organisation says it would leave an “actual nuclear threat” in Russia’s hands after its withdrawal from nuclear deterrence treaties. Those nuclear threats may continue to grow as the aftershock of Ukraine’s war loss spreads rapidly through Europe.“
[Daily Mirror]
The propaganda against Russia continues, with the now-usual claims that Russia wants to invade Western Europe etc. Oh, and the also-now-usual fake “parallels” with the 1930s and Germany’s expansionist policy then.
I wonder what cabals are behind this incessant push for war?
NWO. ZOG.
That Mirror report, though, does admit that we are on the brink of Russian victory in Ukraine. As this blog has said for over 2 years now, Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

“Kathryn is a firm believer in the 19th-century adage that we are only ever nine meals from anarchy. Having learned the skill of stockpiling from her wartime parents and grandparents, her first mini-foray was in preparation for Y2K.
“That was mainly candles and biscuits, because I didn’t really take it very seriously,” she said. “But it did mean that I was already halfway there when I realised I needed a substantial, genuine Brexit stash, which then morphed into a Covid stash, which in turn became a cost of living store, then an ‘Are we going to run out of electricity?’ store when the Ukraine war kicked off, and is now a general, all-encompassing everyday/WW3 stash.”
Kathryn could soon be joined by many more concerned citizens preparing for a worst-case scenario after the deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden, said this week that people should stock up on battery-powered radios, torches, candles and first aid kits in case of power cuts or digital communications going down.“
Not such a silly idea. I have examined that and other aspects of prepping on the blog (search via the search box).
As mentioned previously, the once very famous occult-thriller (etc) writer, Dennis Wheatley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley], in his very readable memoirs, Drink and Ink, recounted how, in his popular newspaper column of the late 1930s, he recommended to his readers that they “stock up” on tinned food (mainly) against the likelihood of a European war.
Wheatley followed his own advice, and thus was better prepared than most for the rigours of British WW2 rationing. Of course, he was in a better position than most, living in a country house at Lymington in the New Forest, and with both storage space and money with which to spend stocking up.
Not a bad idea if you have those two necessities. 20 years ago, I could have done that myself; I was then living in one of the largest houses in Cornwall (only leased, sadly) and was, if far from wealthy or affluent, at least not usually very short of money on a day to day basis.
[where I lived about 20 years ago]
Times change. The whole of my present tiny flat would fit at least twice over merely into the ballroom of that Cornish house. I now have no space (let alone money to spend) “stocking-up” for national emergency. Should my circumstances change, I would do that, though.
The Mormons, at least in their home state of Utah, make sure that they have in their homes a basic supply of dried and tinned goods sufficient for 2 years. Perhaps a legacy from the covered-wagon days of the mid-19thC in that part of the world.
I shall not go into great detail here about such prepping, but since Wheatley’s 1930s, the technology of canning has moved on, the variety of tinned goods has expanded, and the same is true of dried goods.
In the end, storing tins of food etc will not save you, years down the line, but it can provide a breathing space for you and your families.

Andemariam did not stop at the scene after the incident in Warrington in July, but the registration plate of his black Hyundai was captured on a Ring doorbell and given to the police.
Rebecca Templeman, defending, explained that Andemariam, who hails from Eritrea and needed a Tigrinya interpreter in court, confessed to the offences during an interview.“

Yet another ******* nuisance who should not even be in our country.
“A woman’s cancer was spotted during a holiday massage in Turkey – after previously being misdiagnosed by UK doctors.
Claire O’Shea, 41, had previously been told by doctors the tummy pain she was experiencing was due to irritable bowel syndrome.
But during the treatment at a baths in Istanbul the masseuse spotted the mystery lump and questioned what it was.
‘I remember talking to my friends like: “My God. How is a Turkish masseuse doing a better job of telling me what’s wrong with me than my GP has for months?”
Despite having a scan when she returned home doctors continued to insist she was suffering from benign fibroids and showed no urgency towards her.
It was only when eight months later medics removed a lump the size of a grapefruit that she was diagnosed with an incurable gynaecological cancer.“

The health service for the people, the NHS, will only improve when it stops being treated like a quasi-religion or sacred cow, one run largely for the benefit of those who work in it. Also, when it stops having to serve an ever-expanding number of clients, many not even British.
“MPs have raised the alarm about proposals for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to view benefit claimants’ bank accounts for ‘social security purposes‘.
There are concerns this would allow ministers to view the banking details of any state pension recipients, whose payments are administered by DWP.”

Mass immigration is directly fueling Britain's scalating housing crisis, forcing long term residents out of their communities, driving up rent, & house prices. I'm sorry if this offends you.

There are still innumerable pseudo-socialists and others who seem to think seriously that the UK, and the rest of Europe, can absorb waves of mass immigration without limit. How wrong they are. In the end, those waves will break down society completely, destroy our people, and smash our society into pieces.
In the literal sense of "precedent" this "precedes" the evetual departure of Judaism from England, that seems now more or less inevitable in the long run.
The logical outcome is to allow anyone at all to participate, i.e. have no men’s or women’s individual sports. Let women and men (and “trans” types) compete together. That will delete the “trans” nonsense from the whole situation (though admittedly also at the expense of women athletes, of course).
Alternatively, just have proper men’s and women’s sports, as previously.

It is, however, germane, to point out that a high proportion of immigrants (both “legal” and “illegal”) have no useful qualifications, and in many cases cannot even speak English beyond the most basic level. Apart from that, the fact is that “race is the root-stock, culture is the flower and fruit“. Race or “ethnicity” is central to the whole question.

Little Indian money-juggler Sunak reminds me of those hopeless contestants on TV quiz shows such as The Chase, the completely ignorant contestants, of whom you wonder “why are you even on a quiz show? You couldn’t buy a right answer“.
Had I been asked as recently as last month whether I thought that Sunak would lead his “Light Brigade” into the next general election, I would have replied that he would, if only because that election now looms large, with only a year or so to go, at maximum (I am told January 2025 would be the last possible month). There is a degree of “groundrush”.
Now? I am not so sure. The Conservative Party looks like getting wiped out, or at least reduced to as few as 50 MPs, unless its “leaders” can put forward something as a gamechanger. So far, every policy initiative run up the flagpole has been shot down by a public showing of thumbs-down. It may just be that the last desperate throw will be to change the leader (again).

That would result, using Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] in a massive Labour majority of (about) 352: Labour 501 MPs, Conservatives 74, LibDems 35. The only thing keeping the Con Party going would be its history (now trashed anyway), its assets (if any) and its name-recognition among the public.
I notice that it might also mean an undeserved boost to the LibDems, tripling their number of MPs.
Despite that polling, indicating that Reform UK might still win no seats (despite polling nationwide a point higher than the LibDems; more proof that FPTP voting is not working now in the UK), this may not be the end of the show. I think that political academic Matt Goodwin might be right in predicting a surge in support for the rather pathetic latest Farage vehicle (now notionally led by Richard Tice).
If, as Goodwin predicts might happen, Reform UK does surge to, say, 15%, and if the extra 5 points come from Con Party former voters, then the number of Con Party seats reduces to about 30, but Labour would gain, and not Reform UK, which would still be left without any MPs despite, in that scenario, scoring one and a half times the votes of the LibDems, who would end up with about 43 MPs. The voting system is broken.
The reason of course, is that (as with UKIP in 2015) Reform UK has a fairly even level of support nationwide, without the concentrations of votes in some constituencies that the LibDems have.
In fact, to start getting MPs, Reform UK will have to achieve about 18% across the board. If those votes all came from former Con voters, the Con Party vote would have to decline to 14%. In that unlikely (?) scenario, the Conservatives would be left with about 10 MPs and might fairly be said to have been wiped out.
Incidentally, on 18%, Reform UK would still only get about 1 MP.
If Reform UK can take Labour votes as well, a very different picture. Still a huge Labour majority, but the Conservatives left with a rather more respectable 80-90 seats (and LibDems with about 50). Reform UK would still only get one or two MPs, however. Very unjust (not that I have much time for Reform UK, especially after Farage and Tice recently doormatting for Israel and the Jewish lobby).
I take Goodwin’s point though (I should do— after all, I have been making it for years myself): in a situation where both main System parties are determined to do pretty much the opposite of what most voters want, even sheep-like voters start to think how to protest, in the absence of a credible social-national party. Former Con voters may abstain, or may vote (mainly) for Reform UK, maybe LibDem, or other parties; Labour dissenters who dislike Starmer and his Labour Party may protest by (mainly) voting LibDem or Green.
Both main System parties are signed up to the transnational conspiratorial agenda— funnelling blacks and browns into Europe and other formerly almost-entirely white European societies (Australia, New Zealand etc). Also, signed up to the whole globalization project, to the biosecurity pseudo-health state idea, and to the cashless society idea (thus allowing the “central power” to de-bank people, cut off funds etc at will, eventually, e.g. to punish those who say or write the “wrong” things).
At present, GE 2024 is still a year ahead, probably. The only fairly certain fact is that this Government has run out of road, and is hanging on because it cannot think of anything else to do. Indian money-juggler Sunak is as misplaced in his office as were “Boris”-idiot, Theresa May, and David Cameron-Levita; ah, I actually forgot that ridiculous “ho”, Liz Truss. She too.
Sunak will probably decamp to California by 2025 at latest. Remember that nasty little bastard Nick Clegg? He is now living in an affluent suburb near San Francisco.

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

In other words, they have no right (based on claims of ancient settlement) to the lands now known as Israel and Palestine.
There should be an institute somewhat similar to SS-Ahnenerbe which could take DNA and other evidence, in order to investigate such theories and claims.

— Sir Peter Morris: Just fed up of all the nonsense. (@petemorristwit) November 30, 2023
What has happened to the UK? When I was born in the 60s we were safe & happy. Everyone was kind to each other & enjoyed their lives. Now there are so many who seem to hate the UK. The enemy is now within this country & it’s such a shame we can’t all enjoy the time we have left.
It is tragic. I was just thinking about where the UK would be, in what state, had it not been swamped by waves of mass immigration and births to immigrant mothers. There have been other factors too, but the one that stands out is the demographic change since the 1960s.
It is true that white British people still comprise about 80% of the UK population, but the change has still been huge. Particularly so since the 1970s/1980s. A tipping-point was reached, sometime in the past 30 years or so, since when Britain has degenerated in most respects quite swiftly.
Even in the 1970s (which I well remember, having been born in 1956) Britain had so many paths open before it. The Second World War and its effects were receding into history, the standard of housing was improving, and the cultural life was lively. The Welfare State was generally improving the lives of millions, and there were improvements in areas such as educational access, pensions, disability benefits and services etc.
Now, in the past few decades, one feels that the world has shrunk, Britain has shrunk, and the possibilities open to British people (especially the “young”, say <30 years old) have also shrunk, and shrunk accordingly.
Look at housing. The pressures of mass immigration, births to non-Brits, commercial speculation, and lack of vision, have combined to create, over large areas of the country, huge tracts of “boxes for people”, without sufficient garden space, road access, or service areas (shops, libraries, parks etc).
There is a pervasive sense of the population being almost entombed alive in their inadequate —and increasingly inadequate— housing.
The “revenge evictions” and “no-fault evictions” by residential landlords have become a scandal, millions of people are living in poorly-repaired, poorly-maintained, homes, and the governments of the past couple of decades have done nothing to change that. Indeed, they have made it all worse.
Britain is going back in some respects to the socio-economic conditions of the era before the mid-Victorian age, in that what mattered then —and increasingly now— is how much capital was (or is) bequeathed to people from parents etc. Jobs or positions held were secondary.
Today, we have a society in which young people have to borrow large amounts just to go to a (so-called) university, and it is no argument to say that most will never have to pay it back, because the precondition for non-repayment is that the ex-student will never have a sufficiently high income to trigger repayment! What a commendation!
Basic work scarcely pays at all, once taxes and the costs of simply being in a job (travel, clothing, inflated housing costs etc) are taken into account.
Even “professional” work now pays only a modest amount on those preconditions. We see now strikes and protests by the junior ranks of the medical and legal professions.
Even in simple economic terms, it is clear that Britain would be such a better place had the influx never happened. The British people would be, as individuals, hugely better off in everyday financial terms. Not only in financial terms, though; also, in terms of vision, society, and further possibilities on the national and individual levels.
The question though, is how to get from where we are to where we want to be.

Many echo those sentiments, and that fact accelerates the relative decline in numbers of white European people. Meanwhile, of course, the non-white population is reproducing in far greater numbers.
The social decline has also been impossible not to notice. Look, for example, at this tweet by the police:

“Mr Martin was jailed for killing Fred Barras, 16, and seriously injuring Brendon Fearon when they broke into his isolated farm in 1999.
Some locals quietly praise Mr Martin for taking a stand against crime. One said: “We had four break-ins. I know you’re not supposed to say this, but what he did stopped the burglaries.”
He added: “I don’t agree with the police and the legal system. They’re supposed to be impartial but they’re far from impartial.”
[Daily Mirror]
In fact, the isolated home of Mr. Martin was broken into at night by a group of “gypsies” (in fact, UK-resident Irish so-called “Travellers”), not (as the Mirror report implies) only two. He managed to get two of them (one killed, one injured).
The incident happened in 1999. I supported Mr. Martin then, and I have not changed my mind since then. He should have been given an award for courage, and certainly not charged with anything.
HISTORY. Until Thatcher came along we owned our own gas, electric, water, railways and telecommunications. There were approx. 200,000 miners, 40,000 ship builders,100,000 steelworkers. I don't think the Tories want that part of our factual history taught to children.

I had and have little time for Corbyn, but the fact is that he was destroyed as Labour leader by a pack of malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionists and/or Israel lobbyists, posing (some of them) as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.
I was just engaging in my frequent not-guilty pleasure of looking at the Google Map and Street View site. Very addictive.
I have blogged before about how much London has changed since I stopped living and/or working there. I was a resident —on and off— from 1976 to 1998 in various sections of the metropolis, though mainly in Little Venice, and also for a while in 2001-2002, when I lived on the edge of London, in Higher Denham, Buckinghamshire, working out of both Mayfair (off Berkeley Square) and “legal London” (Gray’s Inn Square, where I was leaseholder of chambers in 2002; ironically, also the site of my unmerited, wrongful, and also unlawful disbarment in 2016, the so-called Bar Standards Board being situate in the same square).
Looking at Street View, I see that the area around St. Giles’ High Street (between Charing Cross Road and Holborn) has been hugely redeveloped. The Oasis open-air swimming pool, which I used a great deal in the 1980s, is still there, as is the old church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, but a large development of new buildings occupies the area opposite that church, part of which area once had a government building without signs or markings, the car park of which always contained a number of unmarked Commer vans in green or grey, in the 1970s and 1980s used extensively by State organizations.
That building was possibly an outstation of MI5 or GCHQ, but I have no idea whether either was the case. The street entrance always had a standing sign just inside, displaying the “security status” or “threat status”.
I notice that a nearby site, that was once occupied by a pub or bar carrying several different names over the years, is now occupied by a new building containing, inter alia, some pizza joint called Vapiano. I often used one of its former incarnations, in the 1980s, when it was a marble and glass bar called the Cafe Munchen; I was a regular customer at that time.
Looking very different, that place had also (in the early 1960s, I think) been a location for a few scenes in a Peter Sellers comedy film about a group of London crooks (I am unsure about the film title).
A little way further afield, I noticed that the Punjab restaurant (est. 1946), on the corner of Neal Street, is still there. Another place that I occasionally visited, though later, in the early 1990s.
My having Saturn in Scorpio does tend to make me visit Memory Lane a lot, perhaps too much.

Idiots, and indeed malicious idiots, such as Marina Purkiss, think that free speech being taken away does not affect people. Wrong. I know exactly how the attacks on free speech, and the general attacks on British culture and our (former) way of life, affect people, including me. I also know exactly (((what))) and (((who))) are (mostly) behind those attacks.
Part of the problem in the UK is that the police often do not understand the law and, moreover, often think that their powers under the law are either (as in the above case) fewer or lesser than they actually are, or greater than they actually are (and I have been the subject of the latter incomprehension more than once over the past decade, and have had to put policemen and policewomen right on various points).
