The escalating drone attacks on Russian civilians by the forces of the Kiev regime are a plain campaign of provocation, the aim being to provoke Russia into responding with an overwhelming rocket attack on Kiev or elsewhere, thus (Zelensky hopes) dragging NATO into the war as a direct combatant-power, which might result in all Europe going up in flames.

Every. Single. Time.

Every. Single. Time.

I had to look up who that Jewish woman was or is. North London schoolteacher and amateur scribbler, apparently.

The whole UK political system is rotten, rotten to the core.

Not a (no pun intended) black and white situation, but anyway we should be training and employing (real) British doctors and nurses.

[“My wife just spent four hours waiting in Urgent Care at the nearest hospital, on the advice of the NHS Maternity Service, because she’s showing signs of preeclampsia. Can lead to fatal blood clots. She’s a high-risk pregnancy.

Seen by an African nurse who barely speaks English, and makes multiple spellings errors in her notes and hospital letter.

After four hours of waiting, she’s seen by a doctor — who tells her to make her own way to another hospital to wait in the Accident & Emergency department to get tested there instead.

Comes home and calls the hospital, who transfers her to a maternity service, also staffed by an African woman with an indecipherable accent, totally indifferent to the urgency of the situation. Tells her to come into the hospital and wait.

We went to this same hospital months ago, when we thought she had miscarried. Took seven hours to see us, and after telling us twice we had probably lost the baby, they did an ultrasound which showed she was fine. Somehow, they managed to miss A SECOND BABY with the ultrasound, though.

So now she’s in A&E for another few hours, either for a life-threatening condition that’s getting worse while she waits, or for something a quick scan and an Aspirin prescription will fix in moments.

No wonder maternal mortality has increased.

The incompetence, inefficiency, waste, and negligence in NHS maternity services is astounding. It’s not just strain on the system from demand: it’s that frontline staff are not compassionate or qualified.

Nobody seems willing to criticise this because it’s mean, but so many people who interact with NHS services have a bad story.

It doesn’t have to be like this. I don’t care what needs to change to make it work. Just make it fit for purpose.“]

…and, in the foyers of NHS hospitals, “anti-racism” placards and posters…

This is how a country, a culture, a whole civilization, dies. In the well-worn phrase, “not with a bang, but with a whimper“…

In other words, no overnight collapse, not until the very end at least, just a gradual, at times imperceptible, decline, slide, fall into disorganization, decadence, dystopia. The Decline and Fall of Rome took centuries, the end of the British Empire only a few decades after the disastrous war against the German Reich. As for our own contemporary British society, I do not give it more than 20 years, if that.

Were the UK to leave NATO, and cultivate better relations with Russia, we should be able to get gas and probably oil at cost.

There is no need to get into the arguments for and against the death penalty as a judicial punishment. Social cleansing by executive order.

British justice in 2026

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/violent-north-east-youths-subjected-34385476

“Violent youths subjected a man and a woman to a shocking unprovoked city centre attack over a “harmless” comment. The victims walked past some teenagers sitting in a doorway and the woman remarked that they had a nice cool place to sit on a hot night.

Some of them took umbrage at that and it quickly escalated into violence, with then-16-year-old Thomas Courtney and two girls attacking her and leaving her injured. Courtney and then-15-year-old Lincoln Hudson then subjected her friend to a brutal attack in which he was repeatedly punched and kicked, including to the head after he fell to the ground, leaving him unconscious

Newcastle Crown Court heard both victims have been badly affected by the attack, with the man having become so depressed he tried to kill himself. However Courtney and Hudson have now been spared immediate custodial sentences after the court heard they have turned their lives around in the three years since the attack.

[Chronicle Live]

Regular readers of the blog know that I am not a “hanger and flogger” (usually). Is that result justice for the victims, and/or for society, though? I think not.

Even if, as their Counsel claimed —and which I doubt— those youths have “turned their lives around” in the (absurd delay) three years since the attack, the court should have ordered them both to pay ongoing compensation for life to the victims. £10 per week to each victim, and from each defendant.

Admittedly, it is now 18 years (2008) since I was in active Bar practice, I was never really a serious criminal practitioner (though I did a number of Crown Court trials and many many magistrates’ court ones in my early days, meaning the early 1990s) and I concede that I do not know whether the courts even have such a power, in those exact terms, but if not they should have.

Well, there it is. Britain 2026, in which people are still being prosecuted and even imprisoned for tweets and other online comments…

Incidentally, I was just looking at other sentences handed down by the Crown Courts of the North-East. One was a man who shook his own child, a baby, so violently that it suffered “catastrophic and lifechanging injuries“. He had taken cocaine, and drunk no less than 11 cans of lager. He failed to summon timely medical help. Sentence? 4 years (so out in 2 years, or less). This is not justice.

Water supply, on the large scale, should be a nationalized industry, and the chief director of it should certainly not be paid more than half a million pounds gross (pre-tax), if that.

The featured woman fat cat was not even the director of all UK water supply, just that of one region of the country.

I think that there is a case for capping all salaries at some level to be determined, which might be something like £200,000 or £300,000 net (i.e. post-tax etc). That includes other kinds of remuneration.

Here she is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liv_Garfield.

[“In the 26 companies that operate a third of all of the care homes in this country, 200 MILLION pounds leaks out of that sector in the form of management fees for private investors. That’s an astronomical sum that is not going to improving care or paying workers a fair wage, but is instead lining the pockets of wealth investors, often from overseas.

Social care is not a cash cow. It is a critical public service, limping along as its lifeblood is drained by private interests. Getting profiteers out of care is not a nice-to-have measure. It is a crucial starting point that any meaningful reform of the sector must build from.”]

As the Americans say, that surely is a “no-brainer”. I featured, some time ago, on the blog, a news report about some inept armed robbers who targeted the house, in the wealthy Sandbanks neighbourhood of Dorset, of a director/owner of a number of care homes.

The robbers threatened the man’s wife and daughter (he was at work) and, though unable to force the women to open the safe, still got away with about £300,000 in cash and jewels. They were caught not long after that, and had left enough evidence behind them to ensure a conviction and long sentences of imprisonment.

What interested me about that report, apart from the great ineptitude of the criminals, was the fact that despite having been unable to access the safe, they still escaped with hundreds of thousands of pounds, much of it in cash. Does that not raise a number of red flags?

These exploitative private care homes, that charge the elderly or their families huge amounts yet pay their staff peanuts (and often offer residents poor food and care), are a social crime as far as I am concerned.

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/machete-thugs-jailed-intimidating-violence-11079872

Two men who attacked a frail 82-year-old antique weapons collector in his own home have been jailed. Andrew Paull and Nathan Flower burst into the home of the pensioner, who is now 85, as he slept in bed.

Truro Crown Court heard Paull, 49, and Flower, 33, struck him multiple times with a machete as he tried to get out of bed. The pair demanded they wanted his safe keys, believing he had gold and cash in it.

In fact, the safe was empty and the elderly man was pushed down the stairs at his property in Penrice Park, St Austell, in April 2024. They fled with £350 in cash, bank cards and some keys.

The victim suffered cuts to his face, hand and wrist and was left in what a judge called a “quite pathetic state” and a “broken man”. Paull, of no fixed abode, and Flower, of Basset Road, Camborne, admitted wounding.

The court heard drugs had blighted the lives of both defendants. Judge James Adkin jailed them both for 27 months and said they used “intimidating violence against a vulnerable individual in his own home”.

[Cornwall Live]

Can anyone reading that report think that a mere 27 months was a suitably severe sentence for having broken into the home of an 82-y-o pensioner as he slept, hit him repeatedly with a machete, threatened him, robbed him, then pushed him down a flight of stairs?

Frankly, that sentence is a travesty, a disgrace, and that Judge Adkin, whoever he is (I had not previously heard of him), should be ashamed of himself.

I have no idea what the defendants’ “previous” might have been, but odds-on they both have records as long as the arm of the law [used to be].

What makes that wholly inadequate sentence even more disgraceful is that the convicts will actually serve no more than half of the headline time, so about 13 months, and very likely even less than that.

I have, as previously noted, never been a “hanger and flogger” but, as far as I am concerned, such vicious crimes deserve a flogging, and a mercilessly harsh one. (yes, of course I know that our laws do not now provide for such a sentence; they should do, in cases of such viciousness).

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/man-rams-another-car-beats-11068072

A thug driver lost it and rammed another man’s car before proceeding to beat him up repeatedly during an unprovoked attacked, court papers have revealed.

Paul Scrafton used his black Seat Ibiza as a weapon to ram his victim’s vehicle three times.

During the unprovoked incident in Mountlea Drive, Par, near St Austell, on December 17 last year, Scrafton, “savagely beat the victim with eight blows”.

At a sentencing at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court on Friday (July 17) of the 50-year-old from The Mount in Par, magistrates described the attack as a “brutal and sustained assault” leaving the victim with broken glasses and his car shunted across the road.

Sentencing Scrafton to 52 weeks in prison, suspended for two years, the magistrates said: “This was an unprovoked attack of a serious nature. It was a horrific incident, where a vehicle was used as a weapon to ram the victim’s vehicle three times.

“The defendant then savagely beat the victim with eight blows, breaking his glasses, which was a brutal and sustained assault and the victim’s car was shunted across the road with a vehicle being used in dangerous manner.

“The victim suffered physical and psychological harm and has been impacted dramatically and continues to suffer anxiety.

[Cornwall Live]

A suspended sentence, for that? Unbelievable.

Not that I believe in over-sentencing, though. In fact, over-sentencing is the major cause (apart from this poor country being swamped by non-Europeans) for the serious shortage of prison space. Time after time I see (in the newspapers) people getting 2, 3, even 4 years for crimes which really merit months not years (if any time at all); and that is so regardless of the fact that most prisoners now serve only 50%, 40% or, in some cases, 30% of the headline sentences.

A legal tribunal has just ruled that the British public will be banned from knowing which Cabinet Ministers declared past criminal convictions during their vetting process. This secret ruling comes after Louise Haigh was forced to resign over a hidden fraud conviction for making a false police report, only for Andy Burnham to bring her straight back into Cabinet as his right hand woman! Everyday British citizens are subjected to ruthless criminal background checks just to get a basic job in teaching, healthcare, or security. Yet the politicians wielding immense power over your life get special legal protection to hide their criminal convictions from the very voters who pay their salaries. They demand total transparency from you while running a secretive two tier system to protect themselves.”]

It is an inherently genocidal force in the same way that ISIS and its vision of a global caliphate cleansed of unbelievers was genocidal.

It is not a political force that British people, or any other people, can co-exist with and it cannot be permitted to organise here.“]

Quite right.

You heard it first here. I have been blogging for years about how Labour would “solve” the small boats invasion by rubberstamping entry for the fake “refugees” either in France or even in their home countries.

As it is, 80% of “asylum” applications are approved. Burnham and his cabal will raise that to 95%. The rest will either be deported, or not, but will probably return down the line with different cover stories.

Same goes for the “asylum hotels”. They are being shut. Fine, but to where are the migrant invaders being transferred? To private rental properties, and to social housing which should be for British people only.

Even beyond that, 90% or 95% of the migrant-invaders are here superficially legally, as “tourists”, “family members”, or as “students”, or on work visas (mostly granted on fraudulent applications), and/or as fiancees, spouses etc.

Another aspect of the invasion consists of births to non-white women and to stupid white women impregnated by non-whites.

τιμωρία γάρ ἐστι τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς μὴ ἐθέλουσιν ἄρχειν τὸ ὑπὸ χειρόνων ἄρχεσθαι

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

[Plato, The Republic]

The passage above is drawn from The Republic, Book I, 347c–e.

Here Plato has Socrates set forth why the best men enter political life, that is, why they enter into the life of the polis, the city understood as a body politic. Politics, in the Greek sense, is not reducible to factional struggle. It concerns the ordering of the common life.

To withdraw from it entirely is to become, in the older sense, an idiōtēs, from which the modern word “idiot” ultimately derives: the merely private man, severed from the obligations of citizenship and the responsibilities they entail.

For this reason, rule properly belongs to those with the capacity to govern. Such men cannot withdraw from civic responsibility without permitting a greater injustice: the rise of inferior men who possess neither the strength of mind nor the force of character required to govern.

[“Excl: Whitehall officials are growing concerned about how little time Andy Burnham has spent in Downing Street since becoming Prime Minister.

At a Cabinet Office all-staff meeting earlier this week, First Secretary Louise Haigh even joked No10 was “extremely distressed” by how often the PM was away from the building – before stressing it was because he was “so dedicated and committed” to getting out around the country and delivering his agenda.

Haigh also told officials to “take your cue from the Prime Minister’s ambition”, saying he was “not the kind of politician that has to have a full plan before he starts diagnosing the problems in the country”.

She urged civil servants to bring forward ideas “no matter how risky or politically unpalatable it seems” and to “put it in front of us and let’s thrash it out”.]

Ah. So Burnham is “so dedicated and committed to getting out and around the country and delivering his agenda” yet actually has no real agenda, so what his travelling around really means is his showing off and spouting meaningless hot air. Pathetic.

Also, if this latest government of clowns has a supposed or worked-out “agenda”, why would they be asking civil servants to come up with ideas? Because Burnham and his cronies have none?

It sounds very much as if the mindset is “Britain needs a way forward but we have no idea what that should even be, let alone how to achieve it“…

Utterly pathetic.

Further thought: while, in strict British Constitutional theory, there is nothing to prevent Burnham becoming an MP “by arrangement”, then simply taking over as Prime Minister, in the real political world he will not be thought of, by most voters, as really legitimate until and unless he holds a general election.

At present, despite Labour now overhauling Reform UK in some opinion polls, it is quite likely that any early general election would result in Labour losing about half its present 405 MPs. If it were to reduce its numbers anywhere below 326, it will be seen as, and indeed would be, a lame duck government.

That is Burnham’s dilemma. At present, he seems to be against holding a general election, but unless he can pull a rabbit out of the hat soon, Labour will be toast (again).

Labour’s polling numbers will probably start to decline (again) before long.

The kind of neo-liberal hyper-capitalist individualism that exists on the ‘right’ today is a consequence of dysgenic societies that have facilitated the survival of people who in previous times would have either died or been killed off due to their selfishness and greed.

This is why Thatcherite, neoliberal politics is a dead end – it has no future because in times of real political crisis evolution kills it off.”]

Of the several leaders of small nationalist parties in the UK at present, Yerbury stands out by reason of his powers of analysis and reason. His views seem to be quite similar to my own, in general, and from what I have read of them, so that is, of course, a strong recommendation for me.

That tweet is right. People are not going to vote, many or even most of them, and the reason is because they hate and/or despise the parties standing. In the Manchester case, they had no faith, and were right to have no faith, in either Reform or Restore, let alone the System parties.

Why then did Labour win, albeit by getting 47% on a 25% turnout, i.e. by getting only about 12% of all eligible voters’ votes? Simple. “Ethnic” (non-white) voters, and/or public service worker voters.

Put simply, about 88% of the people of Manchester did not want Labour enough to vote for the new not-a-lady mayor.

Chat Control will make it possible to scan all private chats, emails and messages for “forbidden content” even before they are sent.

EU leaders say it’s needed to stop child abuse material but critics argue it’s just another step toward a full surveillance state.

After failing to pass the law multiple times previously, tomorrow’s vote has been rigged through procedural maneuvers to favor approval.

After MEPs rejected the measure in March with 311 votes against, the largest group suddenly pushed an urgent procedure this week to force a new plenary vote on Thursday, the final session before summer recess.

This revives the proposal as a second reading, meaning rejection now demands an absolute majority of 361 votes rather than a simple majority against.

Proponents thus need only prevent strong opposition, inverting the usual dynamic.

Timing ensures many MEPs will be absent or traveling home for the summer vacations, with non-votes effectively counting toward passage by making the high threshold harder to reach.

Opponents denounce this as unprecedented and anti-democratic, bypassing the prior “no” and Parliament’s own rules.

The critics claim the sudden vote ignores widespread concerns over mass surveillance without warrants, false positives flooding police with innocent content, encryption risks and treating all citizens as suspects.“]

This country is so decadent now, even compared to, say, the 1980s, 1970s, 1960s. An alien environment replete with enemies of the people.

[“I’d really like to know when the @Tate plans to put the Resurrection, Cookham by Stanley Spencer back on public display? One of the standout pieces of 20th century British art and it’s been out of view for what feels like ages This came after they put up an explanatory plaque accusing Spencer of “reinforcing racist stereotypes and divisions” in the painting. If they are, as it seems, sitting on Spencer’s masterpiece because they are ashamed of it, then the Resurrection should be displayed by people who aren’t embarrassed. The Stanley Spencer gallery in Cookham would have no such qualms! Sorry, it’s too important a painting to shove in a basement because your trustees are pussies.”

I remember seeing that painting at the Tate (as it was then called— Tate Britain now) long ago, I think in the mid-1980s. It was once, in 1927, called “the most important picture painted by any English artist in the present century. … What makes it so astonishing is the combination in it of careful detail with the modern freedom of form. It is as if a Pre-Raphaelite had shaken hands with a Cubist.

While I have little time for Farage or Reform, Reform is at present the only non-System or not-totally-System party really in the game, with any serious chance of knocking Lab and Con off the board.

Our animal friends.

Ukraine has long been assessed as being the most corrupt country in Europe. A fake state, not really a state at all.

The pathetic and sad cannon-fodder of the Kiev regime, forced to serve an open-ended “contract” (in fact no contract, because not willingly entered into), so that corrupt billionaires, many Jewish, can rip off the Ukrainian people mercilessly.

For once, I agree with Hodges, but the fact is that this is Farage’s contest to lose. It would be a huge upset if he were to lose, even were the System parties to stand candidates. Without them, he must have a 99% chance of winning (which is why he is doing this).

There’s nothing much to Andy Burnham, policy-wise, and I imagine that his clique of Mancunian and other clowns will crash and burn pretty quickly.

He is referring to Starmer-stein’s statement in 2023 that there was nothing wrong about Israel cutting off food and even water to Gazan civilians, as well as bombing women and children and killing hundreds of thousands of non-combatants.

Predictably, the Twitter/X Jews are all screeching and screaming about Burnham’s tweet above, but in fact it is the minimum he could say, after Starmer-stein’s craven playing of the dummy to Israel’s ventriloquist.

In fact, Burnham and those around him are all heavily pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, all Labour Friends of Israel, so he is just playing politics to keep the Labour-leaning Muslims on board.

Wise move.

Rutte: Ukrainians do not want negotiations because they are at a disadvantage

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that he does not consider it a wise decision to involve the Alliance’s troops in the conflict on the territory of Ukraine. ” I don’t think it would be a wise decision ,” he said when asked by the host of “Fox News” whether NATO is considering deploying troops if third countries continue to allegedly support Russia in the conflict.

According to Rute, Ukraine will start peace negotiations only when it feels that it can get something.

Hopefully, NATO (and the EU) will now row back from the brink of war with Russia.

Is that a kind of double bluff, and is Iran already well on the way? I should not be surprised. Israel is doomed either way.

The Golani Brigade is considered to be one of the most effective, and toughest, parts of the Israeli land forces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golani_Brigade.

In 2018 Louise Haigh, then shadow police minister, lamented govt’s fraud cuts. “Why is the government starving the police of the resources they need to keep our communities safe?” It might have shed a different light if she’d also admitted she’d been convicted of fraud a few years earlier….. Today, four years after telling Keir Starmer, she admits it publicly after being approached by The Times. Full story from @Steven_Swinford and me.

Incidentally that “General Election Now” petition is still running, and currently not much below 3M signatures. Will change nothing, of course, except that it does underline the basic and increasing unpopularity of Starmer-Labour, for which only 4 out of 20 eligible voters voted:

The doctor was cleared of any charges. They basically always are in the Netherlands, no matter how badly they abuse the law. About 40% of euthanasia victims there did not consent to euthanasia. In 2001 a doctor was even found guilty of murder and still faced no punishment at all. https://theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/25/doctor-netherlands-asked-family-hold-down-euthanasia-patient.”

I once met a Dutch doctor, in the course of my professional work as a barrister. He was making (17 years ago) about £650 a day, 6-7 days a week, so about £20,000 a month, as a locum doctor in the NHS. It may not have any statistical validity, but the experience of meeting that horrible bastard told me everything I need to know about the Dutch medical profession.

Israel is the centre of a worldwide web. It has to go, and the worldwide web with it.

Late thoughts about the migration invasion of the UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14137409/Keir-Starmer-immigration-net-peak-record-Labour.html

Keir Starmer admitted he must bring down immigration today after shock figures showed the annual record has been smashed again.

The PM insisted Britain can no longer be a ‘soft touch’ after huge revisions to official data showed net inflows were 906,000 in the year to June 2023.

Arrivals in the 12 months to June this year were 728,000 higher than those leaving the country. In itself that was almost as much as the previous long-term immigration record.

[Daily Mail]

As so-called “far right” people have been saying for years, while being called “alarmists” and “conspiracy theorists” who “stir up” hostility to the invaders, and “invent” statistics. Not so. The ones making up fake statistics are the System politicians and bureaucrats: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14137473/The-assumption-led-staggering-underestimate-migration-UK.html.

I caught a few minutes of a BBC News “discussion”. One silly woman was talking about how most asylum-seekers are “genuine”, then gave “Ukraine” as an example. The fact is that most of Ukraine is no more a a war zone than was Northern Ireland or even mainland Britain in the 1970s. An occasional bomb. I am talking about, especially, Western Ukraine and Kiev.

As the rules now stand, literally hundreds of millions of people in the world could, in principle, arrive here and make a successful claim for asylum. Fact. Can you imagine what the UK would be like if they all came here? Impossible? As recently as a decade ago, pro-migrant drones were saying that a million a year could never happen. Now look.

Meanwhile some BBC drone was saying that migration is essential for “the NHS and the care sector”. Only because of the way our society has structured itself in recent decades.

Also, migration at a million a year— how many doctors, nurses, and care workers out of every million? The fact is that the whole NHS is only about 1.5M, and about half are white British people.

The care sector employs a similar number of people.

Ergo, most “migrants” (invaders), the vast vast majority, are not working either in the NHS or the care sector. More lying propaganda from the BBC.

Where is our society going? It becomes ever more obvious…

Or not.

People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?

“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.

George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys PC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”

[Judge Jeffreys]

This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a year https://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/

I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?

I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.

The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.

Surely appealable, at least on sentence.

Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.

Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.

Excessive.

Deadhead MPs

I am not yet ready to resume blogging anew about “Deadhead MPs” as I did in the past, but this one has to be at least a possible contender: https://x.com/StephenFlynnSNP/status/1820422989248143499

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Flynn_(Scottish_politician).

Strongly favours migration-invasion, and mass immigration generally. Pretends to think that it actually benefits this country! An enemy of Britain’s future.

Exactly my own experience.

(to British families or individuals only, though, not to migrant-invaders or any other non-Europeans).

Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).

Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.

People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES

Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.

When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.

It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

The vulgar mercantilist influence comes out in the language, and has for a number of years.

Apart from that, throwing money at a trade union or its members, in order to ensure a period without strikes, is easy enough, and not some masterstroke of Labour Party industrial relations.

Then compare that to the equally inaccurate and one-sided BBC and Sky News (etc) reportage about the Ukraine conflict, the migration-invasion and much else.

I agree completely. The UK has gone slowly mad in that regard over the past 50 years and especially the past 25 years.

Example(s) of and from what Katie Hopkins calls “Batshit Bonkers Britain”.

As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.

The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.

Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this

I have a feeling that we may be about to see something on a larger scale. As some lady said before the French Revolution, “those who live will see“.

The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.

It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.

The goal of the operation is to create the illusion of success so that warmongers in Washington will continue to send money to Ukraine, he emphasized.

Exactly.
