Though composed in 1945, that symphony seems to me to be closer to the optimism of the UK in the early 1950s, eg the 1951 Festival of Britain [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_of_Britain], which optimism lived side-by-side with the dullness of postwar rationing (which lasted, in part, until 1955) and the economic degradation of a country which had exhausted itself fighting an entirely unnecessary war for 6 years.
If “Bootstrap Cook” is sued, I wonder whether she will pay out actual money this time for her previous solicitor, self-promoting Israel-based Jew, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, to act for her? Last time, when “Jack Monroe” sued Katie Hopkins (and won £24,000 plus very heavy costs), Lewis acted (and instructed Counsel) on the “no win no fee” basis but, in that case, Bootstrap Cook was the claimant.
Reading about “Jack Monroe” recently, in far more detail than I have in previous years, I now wonder quite seriously whether some of her activities merit the attention of the Fraud Squad or the like. Hard to say without a full investigation.
In the short term, somewhere such as Ascension Island. Or West Falkland.
The reason people are so willing to abuse @awfullymolly is because @bootstrapcook sold something very potent. Middle class self image. Didnt matter who it harmed as long as it gave her middle class followers the warm and fuzzies.
When governments behave like this, pledging huge amounts of their people's money without any mandate, the social contract is broken and people should consider themselves relieved of any moral obligation to pay the tax that is demanded from them.

Jack Monroe is neither a qualified nutritionist or chef. Her recipes are nutritionally and calorifically deficient, novelty poverty slop for the guardian readership. She props up the Tory myth that you can feed a family for £20 a week – and funds her lifestyle on the back of it.
Only a middle class person could spend a brief time on benefits, and then publicly position themselves as an authority on poverty. And then, feel entitled to make a career of it. And before Jack Monroe claims she's working class, these are her words – pic.twitter.com/InkGWzmpku
I do not know enough about mental conditions to label someone who poses as all things to all men, but that seems to be “Jack Monroe”, in my opinion. Turn the kaleidoscope slightly, and you get a slightly different view. Turn it again, and again a slightly different picture appears.

It has been said (rightly or wrongly) that another Twitter account which asks for money is also “Jack Monroe” under a pseudonym. Seems unlikely, but I just do not know.
I have no idea whether that other account is (or was— the account being now deleted) “Jack Monroe”; whether it is or was, it seems to have been an outright fraud whoever was operating it.
So yes I gave Jack Monroe money and she ripped me off. I got a one month refund from a 3rd party.
If you think the screenshots are manipulated or fake, DM me and let's have a zoom call and I'll login live on my screen and show you this shower of shit.
Yet (as of today) 663 mugs are still sending money every single month to “Jack Monroe”; maybe as much as £6,630 per month. In cash. Taxfree. Also, scribblers from, eg, the Irish Daily Mail, are still tweeting in support of what now looks like it might be at least akin to an outright fraud.
The only way to sort out the competing claims seems to be a civil or criminal court examination.
My own opinion why so many (not poor, indeed often affluent) persons defend the “Bootstrap Cook” is because she has become a kind of totem for a number of causes, and that effect is facilitated by the multi-headed nature of her own well-publicized identity or identities.
People often just believe what they want to believe. You only have to look at “Boris” Johnson, who (tellingly, aided and abetted by the Press, TV and radio for 20 years) was able to convince tens of millions of people that he was hugely intelligent (he’s not), hugely cultured (he’s not) and has great socio-political ideas (he has no ideas at all beyond schoolboy “bridges over oceans” and the like). A complete idiot, yet millions, even now, believe in him.
“Boris” is only one egregious example of that syndrome.
THis. This is the problem. Its not the grifting online, its the widescale acceptance of cookbooks that would make someone at risk of malnutrition ill. Truly ill. Completely uncritical acceptance of bullshit she has spouted. For a decade. @bootstrapcookhttps://t.co/M5jiWw61nv

“Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”: an assessment
I have blogged (briefly) previously a few times about the person known as “Jack Monroe” (originally Melissa Hadjicostas, half-Greek Cypriot), whose rather clever nom de plume is “Bootstrap Cook”.
The name Jack Monroe is now her official name, it having been adopted by deed poll.
In the past, I was content to be at least neutral towards “Bootstrap Cook”, in that I felt that anyone putting almost anything into the public domain that might help the millions of financially-struggling people in the UK deserved at least a chance.
Incidentally, this blog is written in the English language, and therefore does not refer to a woman (whatever her views or proclivities) as “they” or “them”.
“Ideological” criticism of “Bootstrap Cook” has come mainly from two directions. The first group would be those connected to or supportive of the “Conservative” regimes of 2010-present. They tend to say that there is no justification for the campaigning of “Bootstrap Cook” to raise State benefits etc, and that any food poverty that exists exists because the individuals subject to it cannot “budget” properly, or do not know how to cook cheap wholesome food.
An ignorant point of view (though not without a small kernel of truth, as with many basically lying narratives), which infuriates many, especially when expressed by the likes of Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the MP who has also been a huge expenses blodger and fraudster, and who claimed vast amounts on his Parliamentary expenses (even a £39 hotel breakfast) while —as Secretary of State for the DWP— taking money away from people living in real poverty.
The second group who tend to criticize “Bootstrap Cook” are those who agree with much of her campaigning on benefits etc, but who say that she actually “enables” attacks on benefit recipients by reason of her claims that a family of 4 can be fed well on £20 a week or less.
Now, however, a third group has joined the fray, being those who claim that they and/or others have been taken for a ride by “Bootstrap Cook”, and that she is a “grifter”, or even an outright fraud, who has sold goods and services which were never delivered. These critics also claim that much of the “Bootstrap Cook” back-story is untrue, or embellished.
For example, it is said that “Bootstrap Cook” was either never in poverty herself, or was so for no more than 18 months. It is said that at least part of her financial difficulties were caused by her own (apparently past) alcohol and/or drug abuse. It is said that she makes up implausible stories about her past financial predicament, such as “having to” sell her little son’s beloved dinosaur toy to raise money (really? How much money would that raise? £1? £2? And how cruel is that, assuming the story to be true?).
It is also said that her parents are not badly-off financially, that they own buy-to-let property, and that her paternal grandfather was a millionaire. In other words, that “Bootstrap Cook” always had a financial lifeline. I have no idea whether, or to what extent, that may be, or may have been, the case.
Recently, following a storm of criticism on Twitter, “Bootstrap Cook” deleted her Twitter account, though others claim that she is merely taking a 40-hour “rest” from Twitter, and will return. Why 40 hours and not (as with Jesus Christ) 40 days, or whatever, I have no idea.
One aspect that interested me, as a former barrister, was the tendency of “Bootstrap Cook” to threaten some of her critics with legal action. A few years ago, “Bootstrap Cook” sued Katie Hopkins in libel.
Ms. Hopkins had libelled “Bootstrap Cook” entirely mistakenly as to the facts, had no defence whatever, and should have backed down and got out with minimal damage when she could have but, like many maximalisti, found sorry the hardest word, and so was hammered: £24,000 in damages, and very large legal costs. Ms. Hopkins had to sell her house in St. Leonard’s (the best residential district in Exeter) in order to pay those legal costs.
“Bootstrap Cook” retained as her solicitor Mark Lewis, the Zionist Jew who now lives in Israel, though he has also a professional foothold in London. His no-win no-fee cases have often been controversial.
I have to wonder how nice a person “Bootstrap Cook” is, if she is on friendly terms with someone such as Lewis.
As soon as people started suggesting, a month or two ago, that “Bootstrap Cook” was somewhere between “grifter” and fraudster, out came the Twitter threat that Mark Lewis and libel would be wheeled out (frankly, not so much of a threat— by no means have all of Lewis’s cases been brought to a successful conclusion, and when he was censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority about 4 years ago, his Counsel said that his fine should be reduced because his only possessions were his clothes, a mobility scooter. and a private pension worth £70 a week).
In fact, when “Bootstrap Cook” threatened libel action against Conservative Party MP Lee Anderson [Con, Ashfield] (in May of this year), nothing ever came of it, as far as I know:
“Food journalist and activist Jack Monroe hinted at legal action against Anderson after he commented in an interview that “She’s taking money off some of the most vulnerable people in society and making an absolute fortune on [sic] the back of people”.[36] [Wikipedia].
The Guardian says “sues“, but the Independent said “hints at suing“, and I have seen nothing on the Mark Lewis Twitter output to the effect that he ever was “instructed” (the Guardian, again) on the matter. He may have been, he may not have been. I might add that all the news reports are from 15-16 May 2022; nothing since then.
Was Anderson right, though? As I have said, I was willing to cut “Bootstrap Cook” some slack, because in recent years, the past ~15 years, the social security system has become inadequate, pay for work has also become generally inadequate, and millions are struggling both to eat and keep sheltered and warm. My view was that any useable advice was, well, useful.
I still think that (despite the fact that, to me, many of the recipes of “Bootstrap Cook” do look like a dog’s dinner, and despite the fact that many disagree with her costings etc).
More serious criticism is that she has actually been making a pretty good living out of Patreon donations, while never or rarely providing the extras offered in exchange.
When I last looked, “Bootstrap Cook” had at least 800 Patreon donors giving a minimum of £1 a month. £800 a month. In itself not bad. When you consider that the suggested minimum is £3 a head, the total increases to £2,400 a month (perhaps). I have seen a tweet where the tweeter claims, truthfully or otherwise, to have been donating £44 a month. Well, you see the point. “Bootstrap Cook” must have an income from Patreon alone of between £800 and (?) perhaps as much as £8,000 a month. Or more. That’s before one takes into account book sales, other donations, paid (?) TV appearances, other appearances etc. We do not know.
Not that “Bootstrap Cook” claims poverty, these days. No, she claims, as I understand it (and perhaps truthfully) a degree of “precariousness” in her life and finances, and she is certainly not alone in that. It is almost the norm in the Britain of 2022.
“Bootstrap Cook” has a number of defence mechanisms. One is to threaten defamation actions, but the more usual tactic is to claim the shield of disability, and she has about two dozen options there.
A further defence tactic is, I read, to set her fanatical fans (she apparently calls them “flying monkeys“) onto any critics, and I have certainly seen tweets where mentally-disturbed fans have come close to suggesting violence against anyone daring to utter critical words.
The problem here is that “Bootstrap Cook” has become a totem for a certain tribe of virtue-signallers. Not really “the poor” but more the sort of people who like to think that they are socially-progressive etc. Facts do not matter to those people, belonging to the “right” tribe does. cf. “Covid”, Ukraine, “Black Lives Matter” and, of course, “FBPE/Remain/Rejoin” etc.
When you consider that someone who claims to be able to feed a family of 4 for £20 a week might be said to be, arguably or in effect, saying that UK benefits are perfectly OK and need not be increased, is that really something positive or not?
I simply don’t understand how you can read this article, made from HER OWN TWEETS, and think Jack Monroe is anything other than a grifter https://t.co/WTCmHTdHD5
— Kelly Jackson | It’s More Fun In Your 30s (@Kelly_Jackson88) September 19, 2022
Why on earth would any Tory politico want to silence Jack Monroe? She plays straight into their message that ‘the poor’ can eat on £20/wk and are just too thick to budget & cook. Plus, she has made little to no impact on public policy. (Rhetorical tweet, obvs!)
Claiming you can't afford to put the hot water on, have unscrewed the lightbulbs and are using solar lights, and haven't bought shampoo for two years in order to gain internet points and cash donations, is also wrong.
Giving people "money-saving" advice that is going to cost them *more* money is wrong.
Not making an effort to make sure people understand that you've mistakenly given the wrong advice and pointing people to more accurate advice, is really, really wrong.
I have very good intentions. I *intend* to write book reviews and advice for people querying, to be supportive of other writers, especially those newly agented.
I don't actually do that, though. And because I don't, I don't expect to be held up or praised for it.
Jack Monroe wasn't hounded off of Twitter because of some anaemic roast potatoes. She's left because too many people were raising questions about her lucrative Patreon, murky charitable donations and questionable finances. Jesus, people are gullible.
As many have noted, this whole Bootstrap Cook thing is more like a creepy cult than anything. It’s as if a lot of fairly affluent or at least not poor people have decided that supporting “Bootstrap Cook” —right or wrong— validates their evenings of going out, their Netflix subscription, their holidays in Cuba or Costa Rica, their new cars, and in fact their whole comfortable existence.
In fact, it reminds me of the “indulgences” sold by the Roman Catholic Church before the Reformation.
Not that that is necessarily the fault of the “Bootstrap Cook” herself.
I've not much to say on the Jack Monroe issue except that if a government minister tries to tell someone how to survive on a box of cornflakes and a tin of sardines, they tend to get pilloried for it.
(Past caring if Jack Monroe's fans abuse me as did for 48 hours few week back).
Authentic, knowledgeable women in poverty now could offer useful, genuine insights into experience but overlooked and devalued while Monroe's more acceptable celebrity face of poverty is prioritised.
Well, if you can believe that the “royal” Mulatta is a sadly-abused “princess”, then believing that a poverty campaigner, who seems to be making “a nice little earner” out of it and naive followers, is a modern Joan of Arc, must be easy enough.
It was absolutely nothing to do with “the far right” and everything to do with the revelations that she’s lied about a lot of things and taken money off a lot of people in very shady ways.
Let's say you agree to pay the Times £x per month and in exchange they promise to send you a code to access their online issue – but they never send the codes. Would you see a problem there? Read the Patreon page and see if you agree the comparison.https://t.co/LUPccSWorV
No John, it appears that you don’t understand what it is. Each payment tier system means a certain amount of rewards/content in return. Jack has received money every month & has not honoured the obligations that Jack pledged. No rewards/content for TWO years.
How had she helped others? I’m seeing a lot of upset people who have given her money over the years. They’re feeling ripped off. pic.twitter.com/H6Y00rtGVs
There's a whole community of Jack watchers on a website called Tattle. Any updates are there. Have to say, they don't seem a right-wing crowd. Better characterised as working-class mums who seem pissed off about what they see as grifting.
Her recipes are shit and she only keeps within budget because the portions are toddler sized. Totally dishonest and unsustainable. No one uses her recipes though, because as mentioned, they're shit.
Because you need to be a parent in order to… count calories. Some of Jack Monroe's meals are less than 200 calories per portion. Her best meals are in the region of 400-500 per portion. It's not enough. You too can eat cheaply, if you starve.
Well, that’s enough. There are hundreds of other tweets in similar vein.
As blogged previously, my view is that Bootstrap Cook’s stuff may well be of interest to many, though —as already said— much of it looks to me like carbohydrate-heavy food often presented like a dog’s dinner.
I do not think that “Bootstrap Cook”set out to defraud anyone, and it may be that she has no such intention now, but it does seem that legitimate questions about her fundraising have been asked by a number of donors, but not answered by her.
If people think that they are somehow accomplishing something by subsidizing the not-uncomfortable lifestyle of that person, then that is their business, in a sense, but it is legitimate for others, arguably more clear-minded, to ask “where is the money going?“, “is any of this true?“, and “are people being tapped for money under false pretences?“.
I can also see that her fans seem to be, almost entirely, not the truly poor but more those who are not “poor” but who support her “non-binary” profile, the “gender bender” aspects, and the general “government must do more for the poor” activism aspect.
I think that it is legitimate to question, not only “where the money went” (or goes), but also, whether in reality Bootstrap Cook has actually influenced government, or large enterprises such as ASDA (it seems that one or two supermarket chains were actually paying her for advice or consultancy or something).
Poverty is a huge problem in the UK now. Anyone claiming to be expert in it must expect searching inquiry.
Is this all really just a morning TV virtue-signal writ large? After all, at the end of the day, the decisive question is what government does or fails to do.
I personally have no animus against “Bootstrap Cook”, but my view of her has certainly become far less positive over the years since I first heard of her.
I do think, also, that if you claim that a person can feed healthily on £5 a week, you are really playing into the hands of swine such as Dunce Duncan Smith, Esther McVey, Therese Coffey etc.
I think that anyone wanting to help “the poor” could probably do so more effectively via GoFundMe or local foodbanks than by subsidizing the lifestyle of “Bootstrap Cook”. Perhaps I am mistaken, but that is my firm view and opinion.
On a wider point, we have in the UK this msm thing whereby TV channels or shows like to have a “go-to” list. Brexit discussion? Call Farage. Free speech discussion? Call Toby Young. Poverty discussion? Call Jack Monroe. And so on.
Thus you get “activists” who are really just “famous for being famous activists”. The Caroline Criado-Perez phenomenon. A hundred thousand or a million Twitter followers but, outside Twitter etc, really unknown and without real influence.
Of course, the msm now like to feature (supposed) “experts” who are, if possible, young, female, and black. “Bootstrap Cook” is not black, but as “Meatloaf” once opined, “two out of three ain’t bad“…
Well, there it is. I prefer to concentrate on other and larger issues really, but felt that I should examine the above first, after the recent Twitter storm in a teacup.
For clarification purposes this is a live poll so results don't necessarily represent public opinion. However, the latest results are: * still 81% re bankers bonus cap * still 82% re 45% tax cut for the rich * 88% re recall of parliament * 87% re govt loss of control of economy
All that the doomed “Conservative” Party had to do, to consign Labour to the bin, was select a leader to succeed “Boris”-idiot who was even slightly competent. It failed to do so. Endex.
Here's what the UK's new electoral map would look like if tonight's YouGov poll were repeated at a general election. pic.twitter.com/HbGJQywCB2
The implications are clear: either the Con MPs get rid of Liz Truss as soon as they can, and put in someone who at least looks semi-competent, or the Con Party will be near-finished by next year. Same goes, of course, for Kwarteng, Cleverly, and Coffey.
Jack Monroe pulls apart tweets that suggest people can live off a cheap bag of pasta or oats (rightly so) but SHE reinforces this ideology with her £20 weekly Asda shops. They do not contain enough nutrional/calorific value for one person, never mind 2 to 3 people!
Look at ANY of the weekly shops she has posted. There is a good reason she doesn't follow it through with a FULL meal plan for the week. She states a few times that she'll post a meal plan or recipes for the week later on but they never appear. The idea that you can continually
COVID held a mirror up to society. As most of us were forced to slow down, we noticed it was not the mega rich or obscenely paid super stars that we relied on, but the dismissively termed ‘unskilled’ front line workers. We can’t now allow them to be forced into ‘working poverty.’
Ha ha. Yes, that ghastly little bastard Schofield is one of the worst people on TV in the UK; and, yes, it is peak contemporary Britain, just like…well, there are just too many examples around…

In the month since I wrote about “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, the storm around her murky financial arrangements has become fiercer yet. A few tweets:
Oh look, yet mire Jack Monroe bootstrapcook lies exposed. She's gifted donations to fund legal action and not even followed any pre-action protocol & got in touch. That money's been spent…. ❄️❄️❄️❄️⛄️ https://t.co/LrXqDsDB1b
In light of Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook's latest "working class" lies, it's worth retweeting her dad's comments regarding his professional landlording, which also reveal he has no bank debt, ie mortgages. Not surprising given he inherited 3 of his millionaire dad's 12 properties. https://t.co/7BrPnLiVtA
He is sometimes described, inaccurately, as having become a “pro bono” lawyer who works for free, out of quasi-charitable motives, whereas he in fact seems to work on a “no win no fee” basis, which is not at all the same thing.
“Jack Monroe” has tweeted that she still has several/many months in which to sue the MP Lee Anderson and the politico Martin Daubney. In theory, up to a year after the alleged libel, but the relevant Practice Directions do say that the courts will still expect any claim to be made expeditiously, so not, e.g., 10 or 11 months after the alleged libel.
The courts may (probably will) penalize even a successful defamation claimant (“plaintiff”, as was) in both award and costs if the action is not brought expeditiously.
Why are you tagging bootstrapcrook? ,she is literally doing the tories work by claiming you can feed a family on 20 quid a week, she has ripped of 1000s of working class people who have been paying into her patreon and received NOTHING, people are complaining and getting refunds
I concluded that the most likely result would be a Conservative win, though probably with a greatly-reduced vote-share. Now, however, it seems that there is a serious possibility of one of those unexpected LibDem (and, in the further past, Liberal Party) by-election upsets: Eastbourne, Orpington etc.
Well, I still think that a Con victory is more likely than not, but if the 2019 Con vote halved, and if the LibDem 2019 vote were to double, then…
My main interest in the by-election will be the Labour result. 12% or so in 2019, but Labour has come close to losing its deposit in the past, most closely in 2010. If I had to bet, I should say that Labour may lose its deposit today.

Starmer is another Labour “Friend of Israel”, and is married to a Jewish woman who is a lawyer; their children are being brought up as Jewish; Starmer and his wife celebrate Jewish tribal holidays.
The Jewish lobby wanted to regain control of the Labour Party. They have. Corbyn is now an “unperson”, but Starmer seems to be doing worse, as Labour leader, even than Corbyn (a result which I predicted in these blog pages).

Aaron Bastani and Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis are “discussing”, in the tweets above, the new Northern Independence Party, which is standing a candidate —a former Labour MP— at the Hartlepool by-election. As to Lewis himself, I have blogged quite extensively about him in the past: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

I have seen and heard nothing as to whether Alison Chabloz’s trial Counsel (who, on her behalf, will be appealing her conviction and sentence), has as yet lodged that appeal and/or applied for bail pending that appeal.

Today, grey skies, dry, with little wind. In the neighbourhood where I now live, no noise at all. A strange feeling of stasis. Am I extrapolating too far in extending that to the society as a whole? Maybe not. Calm before the storm?
The latest “lockdown” has shut down society, economy, and politics to an extent never before seen in the UK, as far as I know, together with the same in early/mid 2020. As far as System politics is concerned, there is a clownish but still quite sinister UK Government, its sinister nature not entirely mitigated by its incompetence.
The official Opposition does not really exist, and is simply supporting Government policy (unsurprising in view of the fact that both parties are ZOG/NWO-dominated and that there may be no General Election until 2024), and Parliament itself is only pretending to sit. The Chamber of the House of Commons now only has a token number of MPs present when officially sitting.
The System msm has only one story— “the virus”. Everything else is all but ignored.
Under the surface, though, there is movement. We hear that half a million small and medium-size businesses are going under now or soon. Fools (including highly-paid “expert” fools in the City of London and msm) think that almost all of that hurt can be mitigated by “Government help”. Really? For how long?
In the end, notwithstanding government borrowing, the government of a country only has such financial resources as are the product of its economy. The UK economy has been partly, in fact largely, shut down for much of the past year. Now again, and until a date uncertain in March, April, or even later.
So far, the various “furlough”, no-eviction, and rent holiday measures have softened the blow, but they will not continue indefinitely.
The UK is heading for a massive economic and political crisis. There must arise a social-national movement to lead the way out of all this nonsense.
Online censorship
Heard a discussion on the Radio 4 Today Programme. “Baroness” Nicky Morgan [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Morgan]. and some American Jew whose name and job I did not catch.
Nicky Morgan is promoting an Online Harms Bill, whch will cut down even the limited free speech online that still exists. The American Jew mentioned wanted even more strict “regulation”. There was (quelle surprise) no-one speaking up for freedom of expression online, unless is included the presenter.
The presenter asked the killer question, as I remembered it: “what if Twitter or Facebook decide to take down Nicky Morgan’s account, and perhaps decide to retain Vladimir Putin’s? You have no right of appeal anywhere...” Nicky Morgan did not even address that question, which is the most important.
As I have been blogging, speaking and (ironically, before the Jew lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018) tweeting for years, the point is that there has been “privatization of public space”.
The huge transnational quasi-monopolies such as Twitter, Facebook, ebay, Amazon, provide the citizen with no rights qua citizen, only worthless contractual rights as “customer”. There is no right of appeal to being expelled, not even in-house (worth a dime), let alone any right of appeal to an outside body such as a tribunal or court.
I suppose that the organized Jewish lobby, and their dupes, think it wonderful that the “far-right” “extremists” (so-called) may soon (as with the present Twitter/Parler/GAB situation) have nowhere to go online. When you take away the possibility to protest and put forward views and ideas peacefully, you open the door to violence, as John F. Kennedy said.

I was in East Germany in 1989. Believe me, Anu is right. The atmosphere in Britain in 2021 is a lot more oppressive. https://t.co/oFxth6c9Ac
I agree. In many ways, the old DDR (which I saw, briefly, just a couple of days, in 1988) was a real police state, and had been since Soviet occupation in 1945. On the other hand, the once-free UK is also getting that way: “laws” (and “advice”/”guidance” with almost the force of law), never really validated, or nodded swiftly through an elected dictatorship “Parliament”; mass media all singing the same tune in various ways; dissidents arrested if they dare to protest on the streets or even online; young scapegoats and teenaged sacrificial lambs (often with problems of autism etc) sent to prison for years on trumped-up “preparation of acts of terror” charges. Satirical singers prosecuted for irritating Jews.
In what way are you oppressed? The very fact you are free to express this opinion on here is proof that we are not living in anywhere near what it was like in East Germany.
Tweeter “@cashandcarrots” has obviously missed the recent “deplatforming” of so many people with “unapproved” views: in the UK, USA, Australia etc. Not just people complaining about the behaviour of Jews, or about the continuing black/brown migration-invasion, but people examining how “the virus” came about, and what is the real hidden agenda behind it and the vaccine campaign.
It’s worst, people went about their business in East Germany, had a life. Sport was allowed, music, believe it or not people did enjoy themselves.
The regulator (Ofcom) won't control political speech – it will get the companies to uphold their own terms and conditions in the context of a duty of care owed to their users/customers

Twitter has been fooling around with followings for years. When I was expelled in 2018, I had 3,000 followers. I suppose that, today, that would probably be about 6,000. In fact, many others told me that they had tried to follow but could not. There was shadowbanning etc. Meanwhile, there are those, such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (see above) and his one-time wife (they divorced after a year), washed-up local radio presenter Caroline Feraday, who bought tens of thousands of “followers” about 7-8 years ago.

Historical note
Paula Hitler’s 1957 statement:
“Gentlemen!
Never forget this: Your names will long be forgotten even before your bodies have rotted away in the earth. But the name Adolf Hitler will still be a light in the darkness. You cannot murder him by drowning his memory in your sick-buckets and you cannot strangle him with your filthy, ink-stained fingers. His name exists forever in hundreds of thousands of souls. You are far too insignificant to even touch him.
He loved Germany, he fretted over Germany. When he fought for honour and respect he fought for German Honour, for respect for Germany and when there was nothing left, he gave his life for Germany.
What have you given so far? Which one of you would give his life for Germany? The only things you care about are riches, power and never ending luxurious living. When you think of Germany, you think of indulging your senses without responsibility, without cares?
Trust me on this: The Fuhrer’s utter unselfishness in word and deed alone guarantees his immortality. The fact that the bitter fight for Germany’s greatness wasn’t crowned by success, like for example Cromwell’s in Britain, has a lot to do with the mentality of the people involved.
On the one hand the Englishman’s character is essentially unfair, ruled by jealousy, self-importance, and a lack of consideration. But he never forgets he is an Englishman, loyal to his people and to his crown. On the other hand, the German with his need for recognition is never first and foremost a German.
Therefore it doesn’t matter to you, you insignificant beings, if you destroy the entire nation. Your only guiding thought will always be, me first – me second – me third.
In your worthlessness you will never think of the welfare of the nation – and with that pitiful philosophy you wish to prevent the immortality of a giant?
What I wrote down immediately after the war has been proven to be correct. That my convictions are true is evident even as late as 1957.
Signed, Paula Hitler, Berchtesgaden, May, 1st. 1957“

Overnight, some straws in the wind. In Manchester, hundreds of students tore down 7-ft-high fencing put up to isolate their accommodation buildings. The security guards and police were unable to stop them.
My feeling at present is that the System (and so the Boris-idiot ZOG/NWO “government of clowns”) intends to keep the police-state restrictions of the “lockdown” (shutdown) going until next Spring or Summer. They will probably “allow” a relaxation over Christmas and New Year, and so be able, later, to claim that there has been another “upsurge” in “the virus” by reason of the “irresponsibility” of parts of the public…
The virus is almost incidental. The real purpose is to weaponize it so that greater social and political control can be imposed.

The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” crows about its victory over a Jew who dislikes Zionist Jews. Only yesterday, the “CAA” failed to ruin pharmacist Nazim Ali (who was issued only with a “warning” by his disciplinary tribunal). I blogged yesterday about the Nizam Ali case.
I was amused to see that the “CAA” says that it was “advised” by Mark Lewis, the abusive solicitor who now lives in Eilat, Israel, and who now calls himself “Dr” Mark Lewis because his old poly gave him an honorary doctorate several years ago. I have blogged about the egregious Lewis in the past (use the search function on this blog to find those articles).

The “alt-Right” or “alt-Lite” tweeter and vlogger, “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin), has now been “suspended”, quite possibly permanently, from Twitter.
[update, same day: I may have been mistaken re. suspension of at least one “Sargon of Akkad” account. My main points stand, though]
Obviously, I have little time for those “alt-Right”/”alt-Lite” wastes of space (Sargon of Akkad, Prison Planet Watson, Katie Hopkins etc) but I have no wish to see them censored or gagged. The Jews and their “antifa” dupes are of a different view. They regard every free speech avenue closed as a victory.
It does reinforce my views that, firstly, System censorship and control is intensifying: the more interesting David Icke was removed from Twitter a day or two ago, and the Bitchute platform has suffered too, having been taken down.
Even Trump has been to some extent censored by Twitter!
If even the President of the United States cannot rely on having free speech, what chance for anyone else?
What really matters, though, is not online comment but concrete results, and boots on the ground.
Ethnic breakdown of voters in USA
Seems clear on the basis of the above (n.b. seems genuine but I have no source) that all of those groups except the (tied) top two (white and non-white college graduates, i.e degree-holders) and white non-college graduates, are far more likely to vote Democrat.
Non-whites now outnumber whites in the USA, and the disparity is growing. The 2016 and 2020 election were not simple white v. non-white contests, but it is clear that that binary was important in both elections and like to become more so.
Puting it bluntly, democracy of the one-man one-vote sort kills the future for white people if the population of voters is mixed, and the whites in the minority.

AS a cyclist who has battled with London traffic for 40 years, I agree with @WestminsterWAG. Many of these new lanes are poorly thought out, of little real use, and will only worsen the already bad relations between drivers and cyclists. And people still park in them. https://t.co/83TMdcjq4K
As someone who has not cycled for nearly 40 years (and that was in Amsterdam), I think that the “cycle lanes” all over the UK are totally stupid. The problem, though, is they usually just appropriate part of an existing road, whereas in places like the Netherlands and Denmark, new cycleways are created, where possible, separate from motorized traffic. It’s all planned.

I have never had much time for Julia Hartley-Brewer, but she is absolutely right here: the nation (not alone; there are others around the world) has lost its mind. It has been made to lose its mind. There are sinister forces behind all this “virus” panic, forces that are using the situation as an experiment in mass psychological manipulation.

Based on current figures, Trump needs to gain over 50% of the remaining votes in PA to win. He's currently winning an average of 14% of the votes. I'm not entirely sure what the main networks are waiting for now.
The better white people in the USA should be making plans to concentrate mainly in one, or a few, areas. They have lost the demographic battle. Not that Trump supporters are all white by any means, but the wider question has nothing to do with the egregious Trump. It is a question of the future of European-origined people in the near-future North America.

…more like some zombie film than Liverpool. Mind you, with a member of the Walking Dead propelled into power in a dying superpower, anything could happen in this one. pic.twitter.com/9fVmavXTOX
Now we hear that in Liverpool, in London, and across the UK, infections of Coronavirus are falling! This is being recorded now and has been in the past days. In other words, before the “lockdown” (shutdown) even started! What more does it take to wake up both people and Government?
The 2nd big story of US election is that, if it hadn’t been for coronavirus, Trump would have won easily (my post-election morning article) https://t.co/MBlvrhXaiv
I am basically opposed to nuclear power, but one cannot put one’s head in the sand. The UK is in danger of running short on power, partly because of the criminal increase in population by reason of mass immigration, then births to such immigrants and migrant-invaders.
At present, it would be possible, were there better relations with Russia, to import gas cheaply from Russian fields in the Arctic and Siberia. Looking ahead further, the UK should attempt energy security: solar, sub-earthly (deep heat) etc.
This really is becoming ridiculous. “Local lockdowns”, a threatened second national “lockdown”, the population scared out of their stupid skin by deliberate Government action, people forced to wear facemasks and muzzles (enforced by busybodies and nuisances, including toytown police and “Covid marshals”, meaning retired or unemployable pests wearing yellow jackets and carrying clipboards).
The economy is in a far worse state than most want to admit. Huge numbers of people are losing their jobs, their small businesses etc; the NHS has abandoned vast numbers of non-Coronavirus patients; dentists are mostly still not working; young people leaving school and university have very little chance of a job, let alone a decent job.
The Government has so far bought off dissent and opposition: doctors and some other NHS staff have been chucked 4% pay rises even though most are working far less than they were 6 months ago. Business has received some financial help. Employees not able to “work from home” have been furloughed on 80% pay in many cases. Some are even better off, in real terms, than when they were working! This is madness.
The part-Jew public entertainer posing as Prime Minister is a deflated balloon now, and he (andhis mostly Jewish and Indian joke-Cabinet) plainly have no idea what to do except to keep the “Coronavirus” fear propaganda going.
I wonder whether the Government will choose the easy path in November and continue “furlough” payments, or not? “Boris” (Boris-idiot) usually chooses the easy way out, so it may be that payments will continue. If not…
There never should have been a “lockdown” (shutdown) of the economy and society. Only pubs, nightclubs, Tube trains, buses (and those not indefinitel), combined with control of inward flights.
The Government should have concentrated on getting people to behave reasonably (eg by not going to crowded hot venues), washing hands frequently, and so on. Self-help, helped by official advice, not fake “laws” and bullying.
I bet that, once the economy really tanks, the same people who are the greatest zealots for “lockdowns”, facemask muzzles and not opening schools etc will be the most vociferous in wanting more money spent on this, that and the other, money that will not exist thanks to the shutdown of the economy for months (or years?).
I decided to offer the Law Commission my views on that very bad law, so very badly-drafted and so open to abuse (nb. the paragraph-format has been removed):
“Re. Consultation on Communications Act 2003, s.127.
I have just read the following article by a Professor Tettenborn: https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/09/16/we-need-an-overhaul-of-section-127/. I do not know Professor Tettenborn as such, though I did sit as a “Lord Justice of Appeal” with him in 2002, when judging an Exeter University student moot held at the historic Guildhall in Exeter. I was at the time a barrister in chambers in Exeter. Please find below links to my blog pages detailing my own experiences around the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127. While the attached articles are self-explanatory, I should like to make the point that this bad law, poorly drafted, has exercized what I believe a justice of the Court of Appeal once described as “a chilling effect” on legitimate freedom of expression in the UK (one —apparently now-ignored— provision of the 2003 Act even purports to criminalize anything posted online which is deemed “false”!). This law has been used (misused) by, in particular, the pro-Israel “Zionist lobby” or “Jewish lobby”, to attack those with whom it disagrees. A brief search on the Internet will throw up numerous open admissions to that effect, i.e. that Zionist Jews in the UK and USA have been and are using what is sometimes termed “lawfare” against British people in the UK, meaning the making of politically-motivated attacks on people, complaints to police, social media organizations, professional regulatory bodies. Two of the most active abuser-organizations of the law in question are “UK Lawyers for Israel” and the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, which overlap in terms of membership. Key individuals engaged in such “lawfare”: Mark Lewis (solicitor, now resident in Israel), Stephen Silverman (resident in South Essex),Gideon Falter (resident in London and elsewhere), and Joe Glasman (resident in London area). There are others, almost all Jewish (there are odd exceptions), as are the three persons just mentioned here. I myself have been a victim of lawfare, partly detailed in the two articles appended. As a result, I have been disbarred (2016), questioned under caution by police (2017) and expelled from Twitter (2018). The organizations above now perch like vultures waiting for selected victims to post something online that they can claim is “grossly offensive”. This is political interference, by a special-interest lobby, with the rights of the citizen. The Communications Act 2003, s.127 is an entirely tyrannical (and badly-drafted) piece of legislation. Free speech must be protected now. By “free speech” I mean speech, and other communication and publication, on socio-political, historical and religious subjects. Thank you for your attention. Please note that I require no reply. Ian Millard These are the articles mentioned above: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/
I hope that the Law Commission finds my articles and views of interest. At least someone is willing to speak the truth. If no-one else does, I have to…
Professor Tettenborn finishes his article thus: “Nevertheless, this is a proposal that undoubtedly takes the law in the way it should be going, and increases freedom of speech. It may not go as far as you wish, but it is better than nothing. Even better, it is merely a proposal, and the Law Commission welcomes comments on it. This is your chance. You have until 18 December. Any comments should go to online-comms@lawcommission.gov.uk or to Online Communications Team, Law Commission, 1st Floor, Tower, 52 Queen Anne’s Gate, London, SW1H 9AG. Feel free.”
So do it…
I might add that the Professor, though he mentions silly “Count Dankula” and his saluting dog, overlooks victims such as Jez Turner, Alison Chabloz, and me, among others. Still, better half a pint than no pint.

My report card from my first jump (over Salisbury Plain in, I think, 1977, maybe 1978), made out by a former sergeant of the Parachute Regiment, said “exit slow, no position, no count, no effort; landing OK.”! The slow exit referred to was me having to climb out of the small cabin of a Cessna and halfway along the wing, while gripping at a strut, before casting off into the void (backwards…); you were then supposed to get into a certain body configuration in the air, while shouting out a count of 1-10. This is not easy! After that, floating peacefully thousands of feet down to Salisbury Plain was “a doddle”. Do people really do it for fun?!

Interesting. I think that we all know that, in the end, these evils will not be fought and exterminated by debate, tweets, whatever. The enemy have taken away the right of the true European people to tweet, post on YouTube, publish books offline, sell books online via Amazon and elsewhere, post opinions online even on dedicated websites, let alone make public speeches or stand for election anywhere.
The whole “democratic” and “free speech” world is being closed off to social nationalism and even to ordinary conservative nationalism. That leaves only a few alternatives in the emerging culture war.
What we have as a people is beautiful. The spirit of our civilization is the most important part of us and it's dying. Beautiful things must be defended, often with violence. What will you tell your children, years from now? That you cowered?
Police seize legally-held firearms from man accused of 'racism' by anonymous #AntifaTerrorist. This is how Americans will lose their #2ndAmendment rights – Lenin's 'salami tactics'. It's what they did with social media censorship "first they came for…"https://t.co/WFc8Lac9jB
Regular readers of my blog will know that I am sceptical of the value of privately-held firearms as a guarantor of liberty. Not that I am “anti” weapon or anti-gun, as such.
I was once a member of a gun club, the now more or less defunct Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club, founded in the Victorian era (I believe). I was a member from 1976 to about 1985. I used only pistols there, usually the Browning Hi-Power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_Hi-Power
I have also, though again long ago (1970s, 1980s), handled and/or used other weapons, but mainly overseas, and including some automatic weapons such as, in Africa, the R-1 automatic/semi-automatic rifle (there was a switch on the side— Safe, Semi-Automatic fire, Full Automatic fire).
I have also some (limited) experience of shotgun use, mainly in Wales and Ireland in the 1980s and 1990s (incidentally, not shooting birds or animals; I disapprove fairly strongly of that kind of “sport”).
I mention all the above in case some, perhaps American, readers of this blog imagine that I am —what they may think of as— a typical European anti-gun person. No. However, the idea that weapons of that sort preserve liberty or one’s political freedom is just not so.
David ben Gurion said, in the 1940s, to one of the Jewish terrorist leaders (I think Shamir, a member of the Stern Gang —aka Lehi— and later a Prime Minister of Israel), “do you imagine that you can create a state with pistols?“.
I presume that ben Gurion meant “with pistols only“…Still, the point is valid.
The NSDAP was not primarily an armed body in the Germany of the 1920s and early 1930s. That despite the fact that most NSDAP activists had fought in the First World War and/or in the postwar Freikorps.
In the UK, the question scarcely arises. Tony Blair effectively disarmed the —almost entirely peaceful— recreational pistol and rifle sportsmen in 1997.
Incidentally, we may as well note that in the whole history of the UK, there have been only three gun massacres: Hungerford 1987, Dunblane 1996, and Cumbria 2010. I suppose that some would add to that the Raoul Moat affair of 2010, though Moat actually killed “only” one person (and nearly killed two others).
So the UK has suffered only three or four massacres or rampages in hundreds of years, of which two happened after the gun clubs and their members were disarmed in the late 1990s! Of those latter two incidents, one (the 2010 Cumbria massacre) was committed using legally-held long weapons (a small-calibre rifle, and shotguns); the other (the Raoul Moat matter, also in 2010) involved the use of weapons not lawfully held.
Reverting to the USA, many Americans (probably the majority) hold some form of firearm; many have several, some have dozens or even hundreds. Hundreds of millions of firearms, yet not so many incidents when the numbers are taken into account.
In relation to “preservation of liberty”, the American obsession with “the right to bear arms” is more theoretical than real. One has to ask, under what circumstances would Americans take up arms (meaning actually use arms) against the Federal Government or even, say, against the “antifa” mobs or those behind them? There have been few signs of either so far.
For me, the “gun-owning patriots” (or whatever) of the USA are people who are, so to speak, “all dressed up with nowhere to go”. At least so far…
You say 'even' @greg1724, but @privateyenews has been growing more and more PC and conventional for some years. It's the printed version of HIGNFY https://t.co/9plf0C6CXp
Very true. When I last saw (and read) a copy of Private Eye, some years ago, its former, long ago, bite was absent. It is now, appropriately enough in view of its 1960s origins, akin to the “Norwegian Blue Parrot…nailed to its perch”… (come to think of it, that description might apply to many aspects of life in the UK of 2020, among which the Monarchy, Parliamentary “democracy”, the Press, the Bar, the Church of England, to name but a few).
As Peter Hitchens says, Private Eye is now lame, because it has to pull its punches so as not to offend Jews, Muslims, “woke” “celebrities” etc. The old Soviet “humour” magazine, Krokodil, no doubt known to Peter Hitchens (a former correspondent in Moscow), suffered from the same or anyway a similar problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krokodil
“Wear a facemask at home“, says this idiot woman medic! I have to admit that, though my opinion of the sagacity of the people of the UK was never high, it has never previously fallen as low as it has during the present “crisis” (scare). I bet that now there will be at least a few rabbits who will be sitting at home wearing facemasks, like actors in some dystopian black comedy…

Corbyn libel case
I notice that Jeremy Corbyn’s legal defence fund is now standing around £318,000 at time and date of writing. The rate of increase has slowed. At one time, a couple of daysago, about £40 a minute was being donated; now, perhaps £2 a minute. https://uk.gofundme.com/f/47gyy-jeremy039s-legal-fund
It seems that the main, perhaps only, solicitor involved on the other side is the unpleasant Jew-Zionist fanatic Mark Lewis, now a resident of Eilat, Israel, and about whom I have blogged quite extensively in the past, mostly in 2018 and 2019. My exposures of this fake can be found readily enough by searching these pages, or via Google.
Jane Heybroek was not the only one being sued for libel by Rachel Riley. Writer Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) is likewise being sued, and likewise has set up a crowd fund.
This case is still live. If you would like to contribute, please visit Mike here:https://t.co/Q8SRp2A24X

Anyone wanting more information on what a self-publicizing fraud is Mark Lewis, of Eilat, Israel, the self-described great defamation specialist, should take a look at my several blog posts about him.
Rachael Riley and Tracey-ann Oberman's legal team forced to settle with Jane Heybroek in embarrassing libel defeat. https://t.co/5U7AUIMWwd via @VoiceBritannia
And the Guardian of course manages to leave out the interesting information that Jane Heybroek, who had promptly deleted her retweet, was the only one targeted for a libel case, despite previous hints from the two celebrities that legal action could be taken against 70 people.
#JaneGotJustice just read the statement from Mark Lewis…. Seems like they dropped the case because their "losing insurance" was no longer being offered as the case was so weak…. so all of a sudden they had "bigger fish to fry" because their ACTUAL wallets were at risk…
People may not be aware that Mark Lewis has settled an anti-Semitism case before this, without it reaching court. I am sure @CraigMurrayOrg will be delighted for Jane Heybroek. Jake Wallis Simons accepted that Mr Murray is not an anti-Semite, on the steps of the court 1/2

It seems that the Devil did have at least some of the best tunes…
Arguably too fast a tempo; still, it works with the film.
Peter Hitchens addresses the Leicester Coronavirus (supposed) “hot spot”:
Have I said that @bachcyw? I have said that they cannot end it until they admit it was a mistake, and last Sunday I predicted the use of the meaningless increase in recorded ‘infections’ to maintain fear levels. https://t.co/MTuI4Qwyez

Yes, it must be hard for the termites eating away at British society to reconcile support for (mostly fake) “refugees”, and also for mass immigration of backward peoples into the UK, with support for contemporary decadence.

In the end, the USA will become some kind of dictatorship or near-dictatorship. Maybe oligarchic, maybe not. All the elements are there, just under the surface. The overwhelming power of Federal institutions and agencies such as the FBI, the long-time supervening-power of Federal laws and regulations over State or local ones (eg via the notorious “Commerce Clause” of the US Constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause.
Then you have the huge size of the USA, and its equally large population: about 328 million people in nearly 4 million square miles. The EU (even without the UK) has more people (450 million) but in a smaller area (1.6 million square miles); but the EU is not (yet) one state.
Very large states are rarely very democratic: in the contemporary world, China, Russia. The EU has become less democratic as the states comprising it have increased in number and converged, and as its population and area have increased.
A large state (large both in area and population) tends to need a very strong police and/or secret/political police to keep it together: KGB (now FSB, within Russia), FBI etc.
The above is not an immutable rule, but a likely tendency, anyway.
Then one has the “diversity” aspect. “Diverse” populations lead to a centrifugal effect. The state may come apart, fall apart. The socio-political police have the effect of countering that, providing a centripetal power.
You can even see that in the UK: as mass immigration has torn much of society apart, there have been enacted ever-more repressive laws to repress free speech and political activity, and the police have become, increasingly, “thought police”, or at least (as I would say) “a poundland KGB”.
Fresh wave of censorship on YouTube last night. American Renaissance & Stefan Molyneux among the high profile victims.
Where YouTube leads, this platform follows. Join Parler, NOW & regain your freedom!
I wonder how long the Parler platform will last. Maybe not so long as a “free speech” enclave. No doubt the Jew mob on Twitter, and their pathetic “antifa” dupes, will infiltrate it, while at the same time trying to get it defunded, or closed down. They may be missing the point though. Twitter is largely a waste of time, certainly from the point of view of tweeters (if they imagine that they are influencing society or politics); GAB, Parler etc, even more so.
In the end, online activity can only be a corollary, so to speak, parasitic upon “real world” activity. A million Twitter or Facebook “likes” or “followers”, are not worth a thousand boots on the ground, or even a dozen.

Well, supporting Bitchute https://www.bitchute.com/ is all well and good, but is no ultimate answer to the wave of repression now engulfing the West. Posting and looking at videos and vlogs is harmless, of course, and may even lead to some good, but what the West (especially Europe) needs is concrete results…
In the USA, the blacks (and “antifa”) are revolting. If Trump (not that I “support” him) were a quarter of the tyrant many claim him to be, he would have had the National Guard or others shoot down these dogs.
Boris-idiot has just announced a £5 billion spending package. In principle, I am all in favour of newer (if better) hospitals, schools etc. I wonder, though, whether the money for school building might not have been better spent on actual education.
Anyone who meets teachers, or sees them on TV quiz shows, must be appalled at the sheer lack of knowledge they display, in almost all cases. This is a consequence of the fact that, in big-picture terms, teaching in schools, certainly in the UK, is a low-status and often relatively low-income occupation. That is especially so in the State school system, and especially for those who are not promoted to school heads.
The fact is that many teachers, perhaps especially in the State sector, are pig-ignorant. This has in fact always been a big problem in the UK.
My solution for the above is to make teaching a more valued occupation: higher entry standards, higher and more nuanced pay (eg more pay for more proven knowledge), less paperwork; and more teaching, less wasting time in the school day, and more in-depth teaching. A thoroughgoing reform of the primary and secondary educational sectors. Another reform for universities, but that is a separate issue.
This so-called New Deal doesn’t go nearly far enough – £5bn is far too little, too late – it’s just 1/200th of actual Roosevelt New Deal – and less than Govt spent on 2 aircraft carriers #GreenNewDeal#BuildBackBetter

Regular readers of this blog will know that, in the past week, I have blogged briefly, a couple of times, about how Alison Chabloz has, in effect, won her appeal against conviction for alleged breaches of a condition of her suspended sentence (of mid-2018), in that the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS] has thrown in the towel, and has decided not to offer evidence against her at the appeal hearing (set down for 10 July 2020; that had been changed to only a so-called “mention”, the full hearing to have been later in the year).
The CPS gave as its reason for surrendering, that to proceed was “not in the public interest“, a fig-leaf to cover up the real or main reason, which was that there had been political interference from, firstly, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [CAA], which initially suborned the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire, a dim Sikh and Labour Party drone, as a result of which Alison Chabloz was messed around both wrongfully and unlawfully by Derbyshire Police, and later also by the Metropolitan Police.
The CPS obviously wanted to avoid the bad publicity which might have leaked out about how the Jewish lobby controls and influences politicians at both high and low levels, and interferes with the course of justice in the UK. So they gave up opposition to Alison’s appeal, in order to save face.
I do intend to blog more fully about Alison Chabloz’s situation, but not for a day or so. This is merely (if you like) a non-judicial “mention” of my own.
The “CAA” had applied pressure on the then Justice Secretary (and so joke “Lord Chancellor”), Conservative Friend of Israel, and expenses cheat/freeloader, David Gauke (who is now no longer even an MP). He pressured the CPS, who pressured the privatized probation monkeys.
Lo and behold! A prosecution was raised, a good defence was offered, but Alison Chabloz was convicted all the same, by a district judge (magistrate) in Derbyshire, and was sentenced to 8 weeks. She actually spent a few days in prison before being released on bail pending appeal. I blogged about that at the time.
As it is, though, Alison Chabloz has now achieved a stunning victory over the police, the probation monkeys, the CPS and, best of all, the CAA conspirators.
In fact, the CAA is running scared. I notice that they have completely taken out of their website the page formerly naming their “patrons”. When it was up, it included such Jews as “baroness” Deech, of Oxford, and the disgraced (and increasingly-infirm) “Mark Lewis Lawyer” of (now) Eilat, Israel.

[above: dodgy solicitor Mark Lewis, in his wheelchair at a demonstration in London a few years ago]
[above: Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, with CAA director, Gideon Falter]
[above: satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz at the piano]
In fact, Alison Chabloz still has one minor problem, despite being out of the woods as far as the 2018 “CAA” matter is concerned, and now that she has in effect succeeded in her appeal (the net result of all the CAA conspiring and snooping was that she suffered a few arrests, a few days in police custody, 2-3 days in a not-too-bad women’s prison and various other inconveniences such as days of trial etc).
The other minor problem is that another malicious Jewish complainant, probably connected with the CAA, made some sort of contrived complaint about what Alison said on an online “radio” show nearly a year ago. As a result, Alison has been further messed around, and has been on purported “police bail” now for many months and, purportedly, barred from posting on her blog (etc) (again).
I have not practised at the Bar for 12+ years (since 2008) and, thanks to the Jew lobby, was disbarred in 2016, but my understanding of the law as it now stands is that police bail cannot be extended beyond 28 days plus 3 months, ie a total of less than 4 months, without court approval: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/insights/why-is-police-bail-being-reviewed-again/
In other words, the police may well be acting unlawfully in keeping Alison Chabloz on police bail (with conditions, at that) since (if memory serves) sometime in late 2019, and certainly since January 2020.
Alison Chabloz’s Counsel applied to Court to terminate the conditions some time ago, but failed in respect of the “posting on Internet” bar.
Just think about that: a policeman, in the UK of 2020, may choose to impose an Internet ban (as far as posting is concerned), purportedly running for months! That, on the say-so of some stray malicious Jew! It must be (I think, is) unlawful. Was the court in Derbyshire in error in maintaining that condition of bail, or have I —after all, I am no longer a “lawyer”, as such— missed something?
True, a court has now pronounced, but I cannot see how that can legitimize an already-illegitimate conditional police bail.
My guess is that the latest malicious attempt by a Jew or a pack of Jews to pervert the course of justice will fail (I very much doubt whether Alison will be charged with anything), but in a sense, “they” have partly succeeded, in that Alison Chabloz has been prevented from exercizing her right to free speech for months. Also, a crowd of (largely non-white) police invaded her dwelling when she was (last) arrested, a few months ago, and stayed there for 1-2 hours, while she was still in pyjamas!
I have only seen one tweet about Alison’s recent total victory over the CAA and CPS (the CAA conspirators themselves are maintaining “radio silence”, it seems):
Revealed: The lawyer at the centre of Starmer's efforts to tackle Labour's antisemtism problem: – Alex Barros-Curtis had previously worked as @Keir_Starmer’s head of compliance during his successful campaign to lead Labour.#LabourAntisemitism@UKLabourhttps://t.co/hiEBqQGpfH
Keir Starmer’s new “compliance” chief: a Jew lawyer who has worked in marketing and “finance”…
“Party insiders say Mr Barros-Curtis has also been at the centre of high-profile decisions to recommend the suspension of Labour members and councillors over recent weeks – including over complaints about antisemitism that had previously not been acted upon.”
“The marketing consultant had previously worked as Sir Keir’s head of compliance during his successful campaign to lead Labour…he is said to have worked extensively on derivatives and structured finance matters in Europe and Hong Kong; as well as formerly working for the Clinton Foundation.”[Jewish Chronicle]
For God’s sake, people…Labour is no longer even pretending to have anything to do with “the working man” or indeed anyone English (or really British)…
Both System parties left standing (the LibDems are finished) are really just trash now, full of poor and —at best— mediocre MPs, offering nothing to the British people.
It had to happen. The censorship and hypocrisy pervasive in the whole society is magnified on Twitter.
On Twitter, white (i.e. European, or Aryan, or post-Aryan if you like) people are always in the wrong, unless they “bend the knee” (literally or metaphorically) in sign of fealty to those of inferior race and culture.
There is, of course, a double standard on Twitter. The blacks and browns and— a fortiori— Jews are allowed pretty much free rein. White (i.e. European or European-origin) people can be “suspended” and/or “permanently suspended” (they mean “removed”) quite easily, especially when packs of Jews (or those effectively controlled by Jews) gang up against them.
That is what happened to me in 2018. I joined Twitter in 2010 but tweeted almost nothing until 2011. The Jew-Zionist pack on (UK) Twitter targeted me after I tweeted something about a BBC Radio 4 Today Programme piece about the “restitution” scam, whereby Jews whose ancestors owned property (buildings, houses, gold bars, Old Master paintings) in Central or Eastern Europe in 1930s (sometimes procured by the Jews via fraud and outright theft) have such property (or money in lieu) “restored” to them.
Basically, the governments of various European states end up paying money to the Jews in “compensation” for what was expropriated from the Jews’ grandparents or great-grandparents. All claimed to be an outcome of the “holocaust” farrago (in fact most of the property was abandoned when Jews left Germany, Poland etc for the UK, USA, France etc).
The relentless Jew-Zionist attack on me, from about 2011 onwards resulted in my being disbarred, albeit only in 2016, 8 years after I had left Bar practice.
The now-disgraced and infirm Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was trying to “get” me for years, and the two Jew-Zionist packs with which he was most associated, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and “UK Lawyers for Israel” both tried to have me disbarred, arrested and charged (with various faked-up offences), and expelled from Twitter.
Well, I was never arrested, let alone charged, tried or convicted of anything, but I was disbarred, after a nearly two-and a-half-year struggle. I have blogged about all this:
[above: the Jew solicitor, Mark Lewis, tweeting to people…]
Incidentally, Mark Lewis is still on Twitter and even has a “blue tick”, meaning that he is considered favoured; that despite the fact that Lewis actually bought about 70,000 non-existent “followers” (his wife at the time, Caroline Feraday, did similar; the marriage itself was brief, and lasted months not years). Lewis has kept at least 15,000 of his bought “followers” (he originally, when briefly “famous”, around 2012, had about 8,000, I thought, though Legal Cheek magazine said only 3,000, the same as me, ironically). That magazine pretended, for the sake of convenience, or for purposes of satire, to accept Lewis’s ludicrous “I wuz hacked” plea:
When I was expelled from Twitter, I had only 3,000 followers, but at least they were all real (I also followed only about 50 accounts, mostly organizations; Lewis follows, even now, 660 at time of writing).
Thousands of other tweeters have blue ticks, but I can think of only one social-national tweeter, Nick Griffin, and I doubt whether he will be on Twitter for much longer now.
The only consolation is that Twitter is largely a waste of time anyway. Twitter thought that the Brexit Referendum would be easily won by Remain, and that Trump had no chance of election in 2016 (etc).
I have blogged about freedom of expression. I have also blogged and (before I was expelled) tweeted about a connected topic, what I call “the privatization of public space“, meaning how a few huge quasi-monopolies (particularly Twitter, Facebook, ebay, Amazon, YouTube) have arrogated to themselves and their employees the right to deny a platform to those with the “wrong” views, i.e. anything that stands against a Zionist-controlled or influenced globalized dystopia:
More tweets, this time “celebrating” the removal of Katie Hopkins from Twitter. It is noticeable how many of those tweets are from those who make money out of the msm and who (unlike brave Laurence Fox) are desperate not to be blacklisted.
Look at the sneering, sadistic little bastard below, one Jamie East (note his proud “blue tick”, btw). Is, or was, an msm presenter (though I myself had never heard the name until today). The sheer nastiness comes out strongly. Also, like many others attacking Katie Hopkins, he seems to relish kicking someone who is down.
Here below is the contribution of Mehdi Hasan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Hasan, who “bravely” puts the boot into Katie Hopkins now that she has been removed from Twitter.
I try not to tweet about Hopkins because she’s an attention-seeking troll who thrives on controversy, but given the story itself is about how’s she’s now permanent gone from Twitter, I guess, she can’t really retweet or quote-retweet me 🙂 https://t.co/CczhlBcZF8
Below, another nasty little man who probably thinks himself terribly clever laughing at serious and important concepts such as freedom of expression etc…
As much as I disagree with Katie Hopkins, we should all remember that her account being blocked by Twitter is a violation of her human rights and It's important that we don't lose our own humanity when we something something hahahaha fuck off.
Above, the logical conclusion: a witch-hunt, as seen in, eg, the Stalinist purges. Guilt by association and assumption (though I see now that the above tweeter is just a dim troll of some kind, possibly hoping to add to his 25 followers on Twitter).
The mob of “useful idiots” crawls over the marble ruins of a civilization that it could never build…

Take a look, below, at tweeter “@LdnPearl”/“coons be gone” (well, in the reported words of Jesus Christ, “you have said it“…):
[Update, 21 June 2020: the very next day, tweeter “@LdnPearl” changed her “coons be gone” name to “Pearl”. Why? I mean, after all, “tell the truth and shame the Devil”, in the old saying…]
Wtf is #BritishLivesMatter ?? ‘British history’ is slavery, genocides, abusing, raping, looting and human trafficking there’s nothing to be proud of. You are all delusional as fuck. pic.twitter.com/R0RwOLDD8W
Conclusion? Quite a few of the blacks, the younger ones mainly, just hate us. There can be no society with them. A tweeter like “coons be gone” is a useless millstone round the necks of the British people.
And here (below) is another seemingly dim person (why are so many dim people from Manchester? Still, that’s one for the psychologists or social historians, I suppose).
Katie Hopkins. Freedom of speech. You should really only enjoy that right if you don't abuse it.
Also, one of the huge number of tweeters for whom Twitter really matters. In fact, it matters scarcely at all. The reality is that Twitter is an adjunct to politics, not the main substance of it (as the obsessed believe).
[Update, 29 August 2022: Amusingly enough, the tweeter just highlighted, who laughed at Katie Hopkins having been expelled from Twitter, has since then himself been expelled. I wonder whether that taught him anything?].
My own view of the Katie Hopkins/Twitter matter
As said above and elsewhere by me, Twitter is largely a waste of time. It helps those who have external activity happening; it is not useful as a standalone. If you are, say, Donald Trump, and you are expelled from Twitter, well, in the end, you are still President of the United States.
To put it another way, and to deploy the “Ken Livingstone” argument, were Adolf Hitler around today and had the NSDAP, SA, SS etc, Twitter would certainly assist the dissemination of his views, but it would not, of itself, help him to attain power or to retain power.
Switching that around, if a person today has no real organization behind him (or her) but only a “social media” presence, that person, be he or she ever so “famous”, is a colossus on legs of straw. Take away the social media platform(s), and the online personality is left with nothing.
The above “de-platforming” has happened to quite a few already. At more or less random, one thinks of that ghastly American degenerate, “Milo”. Others hit by “de-platforming” from all or most large online fora (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc) have been such as “Prison Planet” (Paul Watson), “Sargon of Akkad” Benjamin, and of course Katie Hopkins.
The irony is, that several of those removed from various online platforms, though removed mostly because the Jew lobby wanted it so, have been almost desperately pro-Israel and pro-Jew. “Prison Planet” Watson and Katie Hopkins are two such supplicants. Another is Tommy Robinson.
Lesser known people (intellectual dissidents, dissenting artists etc) are also being removed from the major platforms. Alison Chabloz, Brother Nathanael, Ian Millard (me!) and many another. Some cling on here and there, but all are being purged now and will not be on those platforms for long.
For the “alt-Right” wastes of space, being “de-platformed” means that their income streams largely dry up. Take away their online stuff, and they have nothing left. Take away the online presence of a real social-national party (were one in existence) and it would be not fatal, but merely an inconvenience.
The “alt-Right” wastes of space (Watson, Hopkins, “Sargon of Akkad”, “Tommy Robinson” etc are indeed men (and women) of straw. The only one with any real troops is Tommy Robinson, but he is not social-national, more like a clan leader, and without real ideology.
I support the rights of free expression of those mentioned above mainly from general principle. I believe that people should be able to express, without let or hindrance, views on political, social, or historical topics. The enemies of our culture and civilization (the black mobs, the “antifa” idiots, the Jew-Zionists) believe in preventing free speech.
I might add that Katie Hopkins and the other “alt-Right” and associated types never said a word in support of me; few of them said anything in support of persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz; none said a word in support of Jez Turner, of the London Forum, who was actually imprisoned for a year at the behest of that same pack of Jew-Zionists, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
My own views are not at one with those “alt-Right” and similar people, at least on most issues. For example, Katie Hopkins is, or says that she is, pro-Israel and pro-Jew. For me, that is the end, and “Ian Millard has left the building”. However, she has courage, that’s for sure, and I think that she is genuinely against the migration invasion of Europe by blacks and browns.
In the end, does online ranting, opining, analyzing (and yes that does include this blog) accomplish much? I say no. It may have some utility, and I blog out of a sense of duty, and because who knows what might not happen because I blog? I do not regard blogging as truly politically or socially significant. Neither is vlogging, or (still less) tweeting.
Katie Hopkins is not social-national in ideology, of course. She is also callous in her attitudes.
What is needed is a real social-national organization in the UK. The time will never be more auspicious than in the next 7 years.

Coronavirus and the “lockdown”/shutdown madness:
Alas @gronvita, I fear that the official version will claim that the shutdown was not soon enough. About 85% of the population is wholly unaware of the expert dissent from the shutdown tactic, as almost all major media have simply ignored this dissent for three long months. https://t.co/EKs90TZgQO

In fact, all the police bending their knees in that report seem to be black. Scandal. Incidentally, the Daily Mail refers to the organizer of the protest as “Bishop” Desmond Jadoo (or should that be “Baboo”?).

Looking at this blog post now, for the first time since it was written, it is noticeable how many tweeters have been expelled from Twitter. Most of those who, two years ago, expressed support for Katie Hopkins and/or free speech, but also some of those applauding the censorship and repression. “What goes around comes around“…
