“Mark, rather than making witless jokes about a helicopter crash, please can you focus on giving instructions to your solicitors about my claim for costs against you and your firm Patron Law. Your former client – the one who is still alive – is vulnerable. He and I need some explanation as to why you insisted I give you huge sums of money to settle my claim.“

This will probably end up with the egregious Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, and/or his colleagues, having to settle a professional negligence claim.

Where Goodwin goes wrong is in failing to see that only some form or forms of social nationalism can save Europe as anything much more than a geographic space inhabited mainly (after about 2100, possibly before then) by non-Europeans.

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

Goodwin is also entirely in consonance with the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby. That means that he gets an easy ride from the mass media, but also means that he has hitched his wagon to the “controlled opposition” populists such as Reform UK. They cannot appeal to the bulk of the people, but can only hoover up votes from disenchanted people who were, mostly, Conservative Party supporters until recently. Some were also Labour voters, true, but not so many. Maybe —at peak— 20% of the electorate.

“I’m less worried about Lewis’ slips with the date and the grammar, and more worried about his grasp of the law! It seems Lewis thinks when that when you sue for libel, you are not entitled to an undertaking from the defendant saying they won’t further publish the libel because it is you that has put the libel in the public domain.

So if you don’t sue for an undertaking/injunction, they can further publish. And, er, if you do sue for an undertaking/injunction, there’s no need for one because you’ve put the libel in the public domain. No doubt libel lawyers will be scratching their heads at this.”

Ha. The fact is that, for all his brief “celebrity” about 10-12 years ago, Lewis is not much of a lawyer, in my opinion. That is even if we leave aside Lewis’s own admission, before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, that at times he had no idea what he was saying, writing, or doing (by reason of his intake of prescription drugs).

“A tale in four acts.

1. In Nov 2021 I suggested a nominal (say £5) settlement with Mr Cantor.

2. Mr Lewis rejected it in principle, apparently on Mr Cantor’s instructions.

3. Mr Cantor now says Mr Lewis said the only way to get a zero money settlement was to ask me for £5k.

4. Because I could never offer Mr Cantor anything better than a nominal settlement, and that was explicitly rejected by Mr Lewis, Mr Cantor lost at trial and is likely to lose his home. What was going on here?“

This is far from having been the first time that “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (his old Twitter/X name, now supplanted by “@MLewisLawyer”) has acted entirely unprofessionally, but up until now the fanatical and semi-loonie Lewis has managed to wriggle out of professional sanction, except in 2018, when the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and censured him for having tweeted violently-abusive things on social media.

Even then, supportive Jews stumped up, via a crowdfunder, the £12,500 penalty (being a fine plus costs). Lewis’s fine itself (£2,500) had been reduced by two-thirds because he had effectively no money. His own Counsel said to the Tribunal that Lewis had not only been affected mentally by his (prescription) drug intake, but that “his only assets” consisted of his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.

Lewis’s honesty, as well as his competence, has been in question for many many years.

In the Wilson case, should the recent defendant, Cantor, wish to have reduced his liability for the costs of the successful Claimant (Wilson), he has (it seems) little choice but to go after Lewis. Should Lewis have no or not sufficient means to satisfy the costs, then I suppose that Cantor’s remedy would be, in principle, to go after Lewis’s legal partners in the law firm to which he is now attached, Patron Law.

It will be interesting to see what eventually happens. Unfortunately, the costs will be less than they normally would be (had solicitors and Counsel represented the Claimant); it seems that Wilson represented himself much of the time.

Still, Cantor and maybe Wilson can both complain to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority. I hope they both will.

“Israel has shut down a live video broadcast by the Associated Press of Gaza, where journalists are barred from entering.

Israel claims that this broadcast was used by Al Jazeera after the medium was banned in Israel, and that it was used by Hamas for military planning.

Since the start of the war, international journalists have come under increased scrutiny from the Israeli government for reporting on the conflict and have faced increasing restrictions on their activities, drawing condemnation from the United Nations and media freedom groups.“

“The Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot equip recruits with heavy equipment , writes Forbes.

Despite the help of the West, the shortage of armored vehicles in Kyiv has become even more obvious against the backdrop of combat losses and increased mobilization, the publication notes. For example, the recently formed 153rd mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had to be retrained as an infantry brigade.“

Looking at that photo, I am assuming that the “tart-on-a-stick” in the blue outfit is his daughter.

Gove is a complete puppet of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and has been for many years, even long predating his time as MP and then government minister. A drug abuser, a shambling drunk, an expenses cheat/fraudster, and more besides.

Could the Federal Government —and whole society— of the USA be any more penetrated and occupied by “them”?

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/money/article/2024/may/15/landlords-selling-up-england-homelessness-renting

“More than 2,000 households a month are facing homelessness in England because private landlords say they are selling up, with some blaming uncertainty caused by government delays to renting reforms.

Official figures show that more than four in 10 families who have asked councils for temporary housing after a private landlord ended their tenancy are in the predicament because the owner told them they were putting the property on the market.

Despite increasing demand, the supply of private housing available to rent is still 50,000 homes below pre-pandemic levels, figures from Rightmove show. The total number of privately renting households, including those in stable accommodation, has hovered around the 4.5m mark for the last decade, according to the English Housing Survey. In that time, England’s population grew by 3.2 million, equivalent to 1.4m households.“

[The Guardian]

Look at the effect of mass migration aka migration invasion: In the last decade alone, the UK population grew by 3.2 MILLION…

Islington North

The Labour Party is to select its candidate to fight Islington North in the expected 2024 General Election. Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, sacked from Labour by Israel and Jewish lobby puppet Keir Starmer, has not been invited to apply.

Corbyn presently sits as Independent, but was elected at Islington North for Labour in every general election since 1983. At that first election, Corbyn and Labour scored a vote-share of 40.4% (Con 25.3%, SDP 22.4%), but since then Corbyn has never received less than 50% of the total vote, and usually above 60%, peaking in 2017 (when he was Labour leader) at 73% (Con 12.5%, LibDems 9%). At the most recent general election, in 2019, Corbyn scored 64.3% (LibDems 15.6%, Con 10.2%).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

The huge unknown is what percentage of the voters voted for Corbyn, and what percentage voted for the Labour label.

Usually, voters vote by label. Few indeed are the instances where a candidate who has been cast out by his or her party, and who has then stood as Independent (or for a small party) then been re-elected. Most face ignominious defeat. However, Islington North may be different.

There has never been a case where a party leader has been expelled, in effect, from his own party, and has then stood as Independent in the constituency that he has represented for 41 years and is still, at time of writing, representing.

Corbyn is very high profile, and of course has been the MP since 1983, over 40 years.

It seems that local Labour has been frozen out of the selection process, and that Starmer or his minions on the Labour NEC will select the candidate. Apparently, there are several not-unlikely possibilities, and a few political chancers, such as faux-revolutionary (and System msm drone) Paul Mason, will probably also apply.

Assuming that Corbyn does stand (as Independent), I think that he might be able to win the election, and I should put his likely vote-share at somewhere around 30%-40%. The official Labour candidate will probably also get about 30%-40%.

There is likely to be a Reform UK candidate, who will probably get below 5%, and possibly (as with UKIP and Brexit Party in previous elections) only around 1% or 2%. The Conservative candidate will almost certainly struggle to get over 10% and, in the present circumstances, may be in lost-deposit territory, below 5%.

It is possible that the LibDem candidate will score over 10%; hard to say.

My view is that, if Corbyn does stand, it will be a straight fight between him and whosoever is selected as the official Labour candidate. Corbyn surely has every chance, if he stands (I think that he will).

As previously blogged, not even 1997 was 1997 (as popularly now understood); Labour received only 43.2% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_United_Kingdom_general_election.

The 1997 General Election passed me by; I was in the middle of living for a year in Kazakhstan, was busy with everyday and not-so-everyday things, and did not have a satellite (or any other) TV; also, BBC World Service radio reception from the UK was very poor by reason of the nearby mountains (Almaty is on the lower slopes of the Tien Shan) and the remoteness from Europe etc.

I was and am willing to believe that “Captain Tom” meant well (though the whole stunt was basically brainless), but his daughter and her husband were very obviously riding it for all it was worth from the start. Disgraceful people.

The msm went along with it all because it tended to reinforce the “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” narrative of the times, the “Covid” craziness, “clapping for the NHS”, and other related nonsense.

See also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gxg4jd0ggo, which is well worth reading. An important investigation. These “grifters” should be hounded and prosecuted, not least because they destroy trust in the whole concept of charity and giving.

I myself gave a couple of small donations to that supposed quasi-charitable org. That’s a tenner I shall never get back. Not a fortune, true, but that “grifter” has thereby deprived me not only of a good feeling but also £10 with which I could have bought a couple of Lottery scratchcards. Never mind. If I ever meet him, I shall recover my money from the bastard in person.

I have blogged previously, several times, about this contemporary disease of online “grifters”— “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, the Anglo-Cypriot fraudster known as the “Bootstrap Cook”), “Supertanskiii” (grifts money via her pathetic Twitter/X account which pretends to be doing pro-Labour political campaigning via swearing at “the Tories”), “Man Behaving Dadly” (a Jew called Simon Harris, who “grifted” hundreds of thousands of pounds, like “Jack Monroe”, from gullible members of the public, and also cheated Essex County Council out of about £600,000).

Many others exist, including Julia Grace Patterson, a woman who worked as a very junior NHS doctor for about 2 years before deciding that it was easier to live from online “grifting” in various ways, while also posing online as some kind of champion of the crumbling NHS.

The Essex Police seem to be red-hot when it comes to supposedly “racist” teddy-bears, or jumping on legitimate free speech at the behest of the Jewish lobby, but not much use when it comes to frauds like the above (all based in Essex, apart from Depher UK).

Well, when they are gone, that’s Ukraine’s future as a nation and people pretty much gone too. The birthrate is already far lower than replacement level, and about a third of the pre-2022 population is now outside Ukraine.

What might be called “the Reduction of the Gaza Ghetto”.

Don’t forget the main one—Israel, aided by the Jewish lobby within the USA, embedded in politics, finance, TV, radio, newspapers, publishing, and business.

Exactly.

Simon Myerson

Many readers will be aware of the social media presence of a Jew-Zionist called Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (part-time criminal and civil judge), whose toxic social media presence has led to his being given formal “words of advice” (equivalent to a caution) by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

I have blogged a little about Myerson in the past; he used to tweet obsessively about me and others, and is tied up with the two organizations who have tried to persecute me over the past 10-12 years, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

Recently, Myerson’s sworn testimony in the civil case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor was discounted by the judge, along with that of other unreliable Jewish witnesses (Nathan Comiskey, Joanne Bell, Adam Cailler).

The Jewish defendants lost out, and at least one may have to sell his family home to pay the costs of the Claimant, he (the defendant in question) plainly having been misadvised by self-seeking Israel-based Mark Lewis and others.

One defendant, Newbon, another obsessed Zionist, committed suicide during the trial. The attempt to ruin a university lecturer, James Wilson, and make money out of it for Lewis and the defendants, backfired spectacularly.

Despite the above, Myerson is still practising at the Bar, and (as far as I know) still sitting as a Recorder.

He is an obsessive, like so many of “them”. Here we are at 1300 hrs on a Thursday afternoon, and Myerson has already tweeted 39 times today by my count, starting at about 0800 hrs this morning. So about 8 times per hour, for 5 hours (so far).

I have no idea whether his practice is busy or not.

Should Myerson be sitting in judgment over the fate of British people?

For more on that specific legal case and the fallout therefrom, see previous posts on this blog and/or the tweets of the successful and brave Claimant in the case, James Wilson: https://twitter.com/per_incuriam2.

“Here’s an angry email from Patron’s partner Alexander Zivancevic. My view is that there is no blackmail, there is no harassment, there are no threats, and there are no mindless emails. My position is: Patron Law led its clients – Mr Mendelsohn, Dr Newbon and Mr Cantor – into disaster. And Patron Law ought to pay to get them out. Mr Zivancevic is annoyed and threatening because all this is going to cost him some cash. But it’s fair enough that he coughs up some cash to protect Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor? What do you think?”

I myself have no idea whether the defeated and possibly insolvent Jewish defendants will now seek to sue Mark Lewis and others, including Patron Law, on the basis of professional negligence, but it seems that that is a distinct possibility, if not probability.

Lewis himself has no property in this country, having “relocated” (fled?) to Israel several years ago. Indeed, just before he left, and at the time of his “conviction” in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 (for violently insulting people on Twitter etc), and just before he moved “permanently” to Israel, his own Counsel pleaded that he should not be fined too heavily because his “only assets” were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter. Even his car had been provided for him for free, paid for by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers, via the DWP-connected Motability scheme. The so-called “top libel lawyer” (according to the tabloid Press in years past)…

Egregious on its own, but also interesting in that Lewis is apparently a partner in that Jewish or mainly Jewish law firm, Patron Law, based in West London. If Lewis is sued (successfully), it may be the case that the other partners of that firm will be jointly and severally liable, if joined to the putative or potential action.

I hesitate to be unequivocal on this, because I have not practised at the Bar since 2008, and was (albeit wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred for political reasons in 2016: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

It is not unlikely that the laws of both libel and business or professional partnership have changed over the past few years. I no longer bother to keep up with most legal changes.

Well, there it is, my opinion (which must now come with a non-governmental health warning…).

I have to say that Mr. Wilson is a far more forgiving man than I am. Those Jewish defendants were trying to ruin Wilson and, even if they have been used and bamboozled and manipulated by their fellow Jews, deserve to suffer the consequences of their own badness, in my opinion.

“Blackmail?! Well there’s a coincidence. It is so weird. Before the “meanings” judgment was signed off and approved in my case, reading the draft I could see that it was not going well for the other side, that there would likely be further publicity which might be damaging to them and I did not want to cause them any harm. Like the old Buddhist hippy I am, via my sols, I made an offer that was pretty much in the same terms as the settlement we eventually ended up with, suggesting settlement before the judgment was handed down, and then we could ask the judge if he’d be willing not to hand down judgment in those circumstances. My offer was refused as “blackmail”. The judgment was delivered, and published on the BAILII website. The other side then settled. I don’t get it.” [tweeter Cremant Communarde “@0Calamity”]

…or maybe it’s just a (((you know who))) thing…

Needless to add, a “moral case” would not cut it; only a clear legal case would do that.

I wish Mr. Wilson good luck, and victory.

Better.

Regular readers will have seen that I recently had a slight disagreement with my wife over whether we should give to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance via some fellow who knocked uninvited at the door. I was unsure whether he was bona fide or not.

I later tried to contact the air ambulance people, only to discover that their telephone (the real one— I looked it up online) is an automated message which then switches to a line that then goes dead almost immediately. I emailed them via their own website but (about a week on), I have had no reply, nor even an acknowledgment.

I believe their CEO gets about £150,000 a year, maybe more, and that their total administrative staff salary spend (ie not pilots, not doctors etc) is about £700,000 a year. P*** poor.

I myself would never now give to Hampshire Air Ambulance, whether or not the bozo at the door was bona fide.

People should be banned from fundraising at the door anyway; it’s an open invitation to rip off householders.

The same goes for most of the larger charities as well. The higher-up staff are often getting £100,000, £200,000, even £400,000 a year. Forget it.

“He has completely missed the point that he owns the house! Is this not fraud? After Captain Tom foundation debacle – nothing is sacred anymore. Money corrupts people. I for one will not give to charities like this again.” [tweeter Martina J, “@MartinaJ70”].

I can only agree.

Ha ha! Tweeter “@ACSpinner” has obviously slept through the past 2-3 years or more, during which time “Jack Monroe” has been comprehensively exposed as not only a “grifter” but a literal fraudster (though for some reason unknown, she has not as yet been prosecuted).

Ah…

Quite so. The Kiev regime, as I have blogged for over a year now, is running out of soldiers, even the untrained cannon-fodder which has been pointlessly dying in waves over the past two years. As for those “unprepared defensive lines“, they merely emphasize the shambolic and corrupt nature of the Kiev regime.

The Kiev regime has run out of “useful idiots” willing to volunteer to be killed or crippled on the chaotic and crumbling front lines. The foreign idiot virtue-signallers (unemployed Brit ex-private soldiers and adventure junkies, American Soldier of Fortune readers etc) have long since gone home, or been killed. Kiev now press-gangs people off the streets to be sent —on pain of the firing squad— to the front. Few will return. No wonder they put up a serious fight before they are “recruited” and have to face the guns.

“The Russian army is reportedly advancing on the Kharkov front, with reports indicating a storming of Liptsy. Ukrainian sources confirm the developments, stating that Russian infantry is launching attacks from the forest west of Lukyantsy, situated on the eastern outskirts of Liptsy. Heavy fighting is also reported west of Volchansk in the areas of Burgovatka and Starytsya, according to other Ukrainian sources.“

Late talking point

“A country that has forgotten its culture, history, traditions and national heroes is doomed to extinction” [Tolstoy]

I look at Britain and muse as to whether that can be said (can yet be said) about this country. I am unwilling to say so —yet— but that is probably the heart ruling the head, to be frank.

Saturday quiz

Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.

Talking point

Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.

I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).

I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Starmer’s priorities are: 1. Whatever Israel and the Jewish lobby want; 2. To eliminate any remaining free speech (and refer to previous priority); 3. To destroy what is left of Britain as a real nation, rather than a geographic space filled with globalized economic entities, including humanoid entities (and refer to no.1 above); 4. The self-interest of “Labour” politicians and hangers-on [e.g., most recently, Ayesha Hazarika].

They should have been kicked into the gutter and stamped on. They are nothing but sub-terrorists, using their age and sex as a shield.

Just Stop Oil is a pathetic excuse for a cause or ideology; worthless.

Those ridiculous old “entitleds”, crowing about their “Christian” faith, will try to destroy a (genuine) “national treasure”, but probably welcome the migration-invasion which will destroy this country and its society long before any “climate change” (however caused).

Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).

4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).

I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).

Both lots of demonstrators are deluded in their own ways.

I used to go to Brighton Beach (New York) occasionally. Early 1990s. It was a largely Russian-speaking neighbourhood then. There was a large shop selling good bread, and pickled herrings and cucumbers etc.

I usually arrived on the”El” from Manhattan.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Macron is an idiot. France would not survive war (totally pointless and unnecessary war) with Russia. One Sarmat-2 missile might take out, i.e. destroy, about 90% of the whole of France. I value France, where I lived for 3-4 years; I do not want to see that beautiful country destroyed.

Macron is yet another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/, my assessment of Macron from 5+ years ago.

Worth reading the explanation.

That case is a good example of how some Jewish lawyers abuse the English legal system. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

“Mr Justice Nicklin said this in another case: “It is likely that this error occurred because he [Mr Lewis] had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.“

[per James Wilson]

Dishonest and incompetent…

Both Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke are fanatical Jew-Zionists. Lewis even lives, some or most of the time, in Eilat, Israel.

As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.

As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.

Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:

Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.

Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.

When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…

Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.

Incidentally, should anyone wish to help defray the costs of my own recent free speech trial, the crowdfunder is still open: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Could Andrew Neil be more craven? All his money, yet no real independence, in my opinion.

Like Andrew Neil (pre-2024), I have never watched Eurovision and (unlike Neil) do not intend to change my habit today. I have no interest at all in the Israeli contestant, positive or negative, or in any of the other howling freaks and noisemakers taking part.

I did notice that Denmark’s entry is an African! Not even a beautiful one. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“…

“The number of foreign mercenaries participating in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by two thirds compared to March 2022 , writes “Business Insider”.

“Half of the mercenaries come from Latin American countries hoping to make money. They are there for money,” said Carl Larson, a former American soldier who fought in Ukraine.

He also admitted that, while he was in Ukraine, he realized that foreign mercenaries would not be able to stop the Russian forces and that they could only delay their advance “perhaps for an hour“.

It’s worth posting this Skwawkbox report in full so people can appreciate what those of us critical of Zionism are up against.

The academic James Wilson was defamed, bullied and lied about by a phalanx of Zionist troll merchants including some who had, or have, jobs in academia – such as the late, and not lamented, Pete Newbon, and the Zionist regime asset David Hirsh.

I have highlighted the names of this Zionist hyaena pack in bold for ease of reference. [Link to the Skwawkbox post at the end.]

University lecturer James Wilson has been awarded £30,000 in damages against James Mendelsohn and Edward Cantor for defamatory material published about him during an argument about supposed antisemitism in the Labour party.

The false claim, that Mr Wilson was a ‘freak [who] takes pictures of kids’, put Mr Wilson and his partner in fear of physical danger, as well as seriously damaging his reputation.

The judge had previously rejected an attempt by Mendelsohn and Cantor to quash the lawsuit. The judgement lays bare that: Mendelsohn and Cantor kept private information and recycled it to the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the anti-left group ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS), so that he could use it to defame Wilson – the information was untrue and based a) on statements from someone the judge found to have lied about Wilson and b) on false claims about a university disciplinary investigation.

Newbon was described by the judge as ‘bullying’. That Newbon, who committed suicided in 2022 after a row with his wife and has been lionised by so-called ‘antisemitism campaigners’ despite his awful record as a serial troll repeatedly disciplined by his employers Northumbria University for his appalling social media conduct, had not told her of Wilson’s lawsuit against him for the defamatory posts.

Mendelsohn and Cantor refused to apologise, mediate or settle, forcing the legal action to proceed to its conclusion. A key witness for the defendants said that she had been offered £5,000 by Mendelsohn and Cantor to testify for them (though the judge did not make a finding that her claim was true).

The defendants further abused and insulted Wilson in the course of their defence – despite, in the case of Cantor, being warned by the judge not to do so.

The defendants – who represented themselves in court apart from the use of a barrister to cross-examine Wilson – wheeled out a number of figures who are well known for their attacks on the left in an attempt to shore up their defence. The judge dismissed them:

*University lecturer David Hirsh, a prominent, pro-Israel proponent of supposed ‘left antisemitism’, who wrote an unintentionally revealing elegy to Pete Newbon after his suicide. Hirsh was called to bolster the defendants’ claim that Wilson had shown ‘unwarrantedly aggressive and belligerent conduct’. The judge rejected Hirsh’s evidence that Wilson was ‘aggressive, unpredictable, persistent and irrational’ and found that Wilson’s communications with him over the spreading of a crowdfund for the defendants’ legal costs were ‘not unreasonable’

*Nathan Comiskey, another advocate of ‘left antisemitism’, who claimed that Wilson contacting him about insulting remarks was ‘highly intrusive and upsetting’ and that he had felt ‘harassed and targeted’. The judge ruled that there was nothing unreasonable in Wilson’s communications and that Comiskey’s testimony did nothing to support the defendants’ claims about supposed unwarranted aggression or belligerence.

*Simon Myerson – a founding signatory of LAAS and supporter of Israel, and a part-time judge recently sanctioned for judicial misconduct for abusive social media posts. Myerson was also a vocal supporter of Newbon, trying to link Jewish author Michael Rosen to Newbon’s suicide, despite a coroner not mentioning Rosen at all in his inquest findings. Mendelsohn and Cantor put forward Wilson’s communications with Myerson, who had shared a post describing Wilson as ‘scum of the earth’, as evidence to support their claim of aggressive behaviour.

The judge ruled that it did nothing of the sort. Joanne Bell and journalist Adam Cailler – more well-known anti-left activists whose correspondence with Wilson was put forward by the defence as supporting evidence. The judge ruled, “I can find nothing in the emails which is particularly aggressive or which points to conduct of the kind said to demonstrate the pleaded propensity [to aggression]”.”

A Myerson attack on Michael Rosen:

The findings, as well as being clearly welcome to the smeared and endangered James Wilson, illuminate much of the approach of the right-wingers who created and propagated the ‘Labour antisemitism’ smear. While so-called ‘antisemitism campaigners’ – lauded by Hirsh in his document supporting the creation of the so-called ‘Pete Newbon award’ – are ready to doxx, insult, smear and abuse those with whom they disagree, the conduct of the defence and the witnesses it put forward or quoted reveal a group that is quick to describe their supposed hurt and fear when someone challenges them and, even in the most reasonable terms, takes issue with the smears and abuse.

Happily, the judge saw through such asymmetrical nonsense. Mr Wilson, in a statement about the result, said: The Judge has found that Mr James Mendelsohn gave Dr Pete Newbon confidential and defamatory information about me. It included a screenshot of a Facebook post that said I was “a freak who took pictures of kids” outside a school with a clear photo of me.

The impression was, as the Judge decided, like a ‘wanted’ poster. When the Facebook post was published originally, there were incidents that made me fear for the safety of me and my family. The police secured its deletion within 24 hours.

The Judge found that the allegations in the Facebook post were untrue. Mr Mendelsohn took a screenshot of the Facebook post in the 24 hours it was published and, having kept it for 19 months, gave it to Dr Newbon in August 2020 knowing Dr Newbon was making abusive attacks on me on Twitter/X and so he could use the screenshot as a weapon against me.

Dr Newbon and Mr Eddy Cantor then published the screenshot on Twitter/X too, as the Judge has found, abuse and bully me. When Dr Newbon realised the screenshot he and Mr Cantor had published put the safety of me and my family at risk, he took no action. I suspect this was on the basis of advice he got from his solicitor [Mark Lewis of Eilat, Israel].

Even when Dr Newbon deleted the screenshot from his feed, he sent it to other people by private message. He also invented seriously defamatory allegations about me that he sent to other people.

I did not want the litigation to start. The Defendants could have settled for zero damages and zero costs, and an agreement to delete and not to further publish the screenshot. Litigation only started because all the Defendants, presumably on advice from their solicitors [Mark Lewis of Eilat, Israel, and the Jewish law firm in London with which he is connected], insisted that publication of the screenshot was in the public interest.

They claimed this despite knowing of the intimidatory incidents. I did not want there to be a trial. What made a trial inevitable was the conduct of the Defendants. I suspect some of the Defendants’ conduct was the result of advice from their solicitors [Lewis, again].

The Defendants’ conduct included:

*Refusing to comply with the Civil Procedure Rules on pre-action conduct.

*Refusing mediation in favour of litigation to drive up my costs and to try to bankrupt me.

*Making repeated threats to bankrupt me, explicitly referring to the impact this would have on my employment and children.

*Making false allegations of anti-Semitism to try to get me to abandon my claim.

*Making misogynistic allegations about my partner and falsely accusing her of conspiring to pervert the course of justice and breaching professional conduct rules.

*Taking the case to trial having stated: (a) they had no money and I would not recover any costs or damages; (b) they did not care about the outcome (they were “blasé about the result”); (c) they saw what they were doing as some sort of revenge (they “regard this as payback time”).

*Refusing to engage sensibly in negotiations to settle the whole claim when both Dr Newbon’s widow and I wanted to quietly and cheaply settle the claim and avoid further publicity after Dr Newbon’s tragic death.

The Defendants received encouragement on social media and financial help in pursuing their defences. The crowdfunding claims made by the Defendants were outrageous. The most distasteful aspect was using Dr Newbon’s death to raise money (“One of us is now sadly silent. Those remaining must today come together and fight”).

The reality was that, having used Dr Newbon’s death to raise money, no serious effort was made to defend Dr Newbon at trial. I tried to protect Dr Newbon’s posthumous reputation by settling the claim without a trial and judgment.

Mr Cantor rejected in principle a settlement for nominal damages and zero costs in November 2021. Rather than getting Mr Cantor out of the litigation for a nominal sum, [his lawyer] [Lewis, again] insisted I would have to pay him money before Mr Cantor would settle the claim.

I do not know whether Mr Cantor himself knew about this, given his subsequent expressions of bemusement about being involved in the proceedings at all.

Both Defendants refused an offer to settle before trial for just a quarter of the damages the Judge has awarded. When the trial started, I avoided seeking a finding of harassment against Dr Newbon. It is unfortunate that detailed information about Dr Newbon’s conduct has been put in the public domain after his death.

In my opinion, the Defendants and/or their solicitors tried to cause me devastating reputational and, through the costs of the proceedings, financial harm because they disagree with my views on the State of Israel. The Defendants’ conduct was encouraged by others who share their views.

Dr Newbon also brought a separate defamation claim [against author Michael Rosen, who had complained about the antisemitic editing of an image showing one of his books].

He had intended to apologise for the conduct which was the subject of that case, but seems to have received dreadful advice [from Mark Lewis, again] to sue rather than simply say sorry. He ended up involved in two completely unnecessary and hopeless legal cases.

As the Judge found, it seemed the Defendants were motivated by an intense dislike if not hatred of me. For my part, I have no antipathy towards the Defendants despite their conduct and its impact on me and my family. I have never published confidential or defamatory information about the Defendants. I have never been abusive to them. I never retaliated to the Defendants’ abuse and bullying. It is ironic that while the Defendants are convinced that I am motivated by prejudice against them, it is they who had an obsessive and irrational dislike of me

[typical of “them”, of course].

I find it sad that the Defendants, their former legal advisers [Lewis etc], and others believed that defending the State of Israel from criticism justified their conduct to me and my family. It is my hope that what has happened to the Defendants and their families, and me and my family, never happens to anyone else again. Please do not use the judgment in my case as a reason to attack or abuse others on social media. Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor definitely do not deserve to be attacked or abused and I urge people not to do so.“

[really? Mr. Wilson may be “too nice” to that pack who have savaged him]

[the above (except for the few additions in square brackets) posted by Dr. David Miller, the academic sacked from Bristol University after a vicious campaign by Jew-Zionists, a campaign led (ostensibly) by a Jewish girl who also, inter alia, tweeted and/or wrote in favour of the decriminalization of bestiality pornography (as also did, incidentally, former MP and Israel supporter Ian Austin, who is now, absurdly, a member of the House of Lords, and who also wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions demanding that I be prosecuted for “crimes” connected to “antisemitism”).]

Surely it is time that the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority took Lewis in hand and (again) to a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal; he should be struck off the solicitors’ roll. He has been lucky in that respect in the past, several times. He may have been cut slack by reason of his various chronic physical and mental problems (multiple sclerosis being one).

Myerson is a lying hypocrite, of course; I have various examples of that. He used to tweet frequently about me, and is a supporter of the two main Jew-Zionist groups that have attacked me (and my free speech rights) for the past decade— “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].

The Bar Standards Board and Judicial Conduct Investigations Office should both take up (as to the latter, again) the case of Myerson, who has been a Recorder as well as working as a barrister, and who possibly still does sit as a Recorder (“part-time judge”). I do not know whether he still does.

I know only the outline of the other Jew-Zionist false witnesses mentioned. Adam Cailler is a scribbler for the Daily Star “newspaper”, while Joanne Bell is prolific on Twitter/X and, until someone was rude to her in a pub, used to describe herself as a “beauty junkie“.

Most of those false witnesses have at some point tweeted against me, many times in the case of Myerson.

The Jew-Zionist lobby, also known as the Israel lobby, abuse law (they call their activities “lawfare”) against both the perceived enemies of the Jews and also against those trying to exercise free speech on various matters social, political, historical etc. An evil pack. I myself have been the Israel lobby’s target for about 12 years (online), if not 48 years (offline).

Incidentally, this may be of interest to many: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.

[Update, 23 August 2024: Myerson was, effectively, sacked as Recorder (p/t judge) in early June 2024, though he was allowed to say publicly that he had “resigned”. Still, good riddance].

[Update, 9 December 2024: the Jew-Zionists have now had the damn cheek to institute a “Pete Newbon Award” for Jews and others (doormats) who “confront antisemitism“, meaning try to bully people and try to close down free speech, just as the late Newbon did. “They” never learn, it seems.”].

“The condition for the new delivery of weapons to Kiev by the NATO countries was the adoption in Ukraine of a strict law on mobilization in order to compensate for the losses of Ukrainian forces , “TASS” states, referring to an unnamed diplomat in Brussels. ” The adoption of a new strict law on mobilization in Ukraine was a condition for new deliveries of weapons from NATO countries. The delivery of weapons makes sense only if there is a significant number of trained military personnel who can use these weapons in defensive or offensive operations, as well as with timely filling losses, which is why it is necessary to actively recruit new soldiers,” the diplomat pointed out.”

In other words, and as this blog has repeatedly pointed out, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder, despite press-gangs hauling people off the streets to serve on the collapsing front-lines, and despite the forced recruitment of the middle-aged (even those 60+) and disabled.

Unsurprising that few volunteer to serve: open-ended commitment, with poor pay and poor living conditions, as well as incompetent senior officers.

Soon, there will probably be a general Russian advance in Eastern Ukraine.

It is a terrible situation. Russia should have struck early and hard at Zelensky and his cabal in Kiev, using Spetsnaz forces, and parachute forces en masse, thus decapitating the Kiev regime. This present ghastly attritional war, with its huge destruction, and harm to both humans and their animal companions, would then have been averted.

More tweets etc about that legal matter

Well, guess what general (((group))) controls or strongly influences the “British” Press, radio and TV?

Note also the threat by Myerson to involve the police. Again typical of “them”. I have endured the same over many years: false and malicious complaints to police etc by connected packs of Jew-Zionists. After a decade of conspiracy, and whining demands to police and the Crown Prosecution Service, they finally succeeded in having me prosecuted. I was eventually convicted in November 2023 and, in March 2024, sentenced to a 9-month “community order” of 15 days or part-days of meetings with the Probation Service etc, as well as costs amounting to £734.

[Update, 24 July 2024: see full update here below].

[Update, 27 July 2024: Myerson has now “resigned” from, i.e. been kicked off, the Bench, and is no longer a Recorder or p/t judge].

Myerson, despite his almost non-stop vituperation of others, is quick to play the “victim” (((victim))) card when on the defensive; he has done it previously when he thought that the Bar regulator was going to take up a case against him.

I hope that Mr. Wilson or others make what would surely be a thoroughly-justified complaint about him to the Bar Standards Board and/or the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

Incidentally, it is only just after midday; so far today, in only a few hours, Myerson has already tweeted about 20 times. As he does most days, it seems. Obsessed?

[Update, 24 July 2024: Well, seems that Myerson has now been dismissed, under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, from his appointment as a Recorder (p/t judge)

“Simon Myerson KC wished young political opponent dead and continued to target supporters of Palestinian rights and freedom“.

It was realized, in the end, that Myerson should never have been appointed to the Bench.]

Andrew Davis, famous orchestral conductor

When I was about 16, I owned a 1972 vinyl containing short works conducted by Davis; a potboiler selection but very good all the same, called Crown Imperial:

Later, in (I think) 1988, when I was just 32 and had a beard (a bad mistake with which I persisted from about 1983 to late 1988), I looked quite like also-bearded Andrew Davis in that same year. I was unaware of the temporary resemblance (the 1972 vinyl had a pre-beard photo of Davis) until an amusing incident happened.

I lived in Little Venice, London, and had the use, at the time, of a box at the Royal Albert Hall. I went there occasionally. One summer evening in 1988, I did just that. Andrew Davis was not conducting, but he was conducting on other nights at the Albert Hall in that same season, notably at the famous Last Night of the Proms (September 1988).

I breakfasted daily at the fashionable Raoul’s Cafe in Little Venice in those days. One day, a few days after I had been to the Albert Hall, I went into the cafe, sat, and noticed a young couple almost staring at me, smiling as if trying to catch my attention. I politely smiled back, at which the young woman said “we saw you at the Albert Hall the other night!“

I had no idea that Andrew Davis had just conducted at the Albert Hall, and no idea how much like him I looked at the time, so replied “oh, yes, I was there. I am there occasionally.“

The young couple, who told me that they were just visiting from New Zealand, said that they were staying one or two houses down from the semi-detached Victorian villa in Lanark Road, a stone’s throw from Raoul’s, in which I lived, and they thought that they had seen me. They continued:

“Are you often at the Albert Hall?“, to which I replied, in my innocence, “yes, when I am invited.”

After a few more pleasantries, the conversation ended, and the young couple departed from the cafe, though I saw them once or twice in succeeding days, as they entered a house; they were indeed staying almost next door to me. They smiled at me in an oddly awestruck way, though I took it to be mere courtesy.

Scroll on a day or so, and I encountered a friend of mine, whom I had met, along with the girl whom he later married, when we were all Bar Finals students at the Inns of Court School of Law in Gray’s Inn (at the time, all prospective English barristers had to attend there). His first words were “Helen and I thought you were conducting the Last Night of the Proms on TV the other night! You have an uncanny resemblance to Andrew Davis!” Others later made similar remarks, having also seen the performance on television.

No doubt the young couple returned to New Zealand telling people that, on their trip to London, they had encountered the famous conductor Andrew Davis, and what a modest fellow he was…

My little story has a twist. Almost a decade later, maybe in 1995 or 1996, I was having a drink with a lady and a few other regular habitues of “the Bunker”, our name for the basement bar at the Colonnade Hotel, Little Venice, when a bearded fellow entered from the hotel. The bar was a small and intimate one, so I said good evening, but then exclaimed “you know, you look just like Andrew Davis, the conductor“, to which he replied “I am Andrew Davis“…

Well, I bought Davis a beer (I offered Champagne, but beer was his modest choice), and gave him a few (no doubt, to his mind, both simplistic and unwanted) thoughts about my taste in music, and he eventually exited.

I presume that Davis had been recording at the BBC Maida Vale Studios not very far away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maida_Vale_Studios.

Das ist’s…

A pretty fine conductor.

That refers to the recent provocation staged by the evil “Campaign Against Antisemitism” pack, in this case fronted by their chief spokesperson, one Gideon Falter. In at least one previous case, a Crown Court judge found Falter’s sworn testimony not credible.

I have not seen anything about that context or background in the msm reports about the recent incident, though. What a surprise (not)…

True. Curious, though. I thought that Jayda Fransen was pro-Israel. Maybe her beliefs are more nuanced. Don’t know. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/09/11/diary-blog-11-september-2020-including-a-few-notes-about-jayda-fransen-and-her-new-british-freedom-party/.

Falter is an out and out Jew-Zionist liar. If he was willing to lie on oath in a criminal case (against Rowan Laxton, a British diplomat https://www.gov.uk/government/people/rowan-james-laxton–2, whose initial prosecution Falter had procured by making a malicious complaint about Laxton to the police…”their” tactics yet again…), then lying on TV and Twitter/X will be easy enough for him. See also https://www.thejc.com/news/foreign-office-man-wins-appeal-against-race-abuse-claim-gyp2ql35.

Had Laxton not won his appeal to Crown Court from magistrates’ court, he would probably have been dismissed from the Foreign Office, or at least demoted; his career would have ended. “Their” usual tactics, again.

The Crown Court judge did not believe Falter’s testimony.

Note also how the initial conviction was reported in all of the msm newspapers, but (ironically) only the Jewish Chronicle reported the success of the appeal. That newspaper however failed to name Falter at all, or as to Falter having given testimony that the court decided was “unreliable” (to put it diplomatically).

Seems, though, that I am not alone in recalling Falter’s “perjury” (though he was never charged with that) or his “unreliable testimony” (that is a much more “diplomatic” way of putting it, I suppose):

“Where are the journalists?“, asks tweeter Jackie Walker. There are no real journalists these days, just laughable 20-somethings, semi-literate scribblers, who want not to impede their pathetic careers by going up against the Israel lobby; also, older scribblers with similar motivations and inhibitions, who know that going against the Jewish lobby or Israel might mean the loss of very high salaries, in the hundreds of thousands in some cases.

I have a very good cartoon about (((control))) and/or (((influence))) over the “British” msm, but after my recent free speech conviction think it more diplomatic not to republish it…

Apologies for living in a country where “a certain element” has killed off free speech over the past 30+ years.

Falter has bodyguards from Jew-Zionist strongarm and snoop organizations whenever he makes a public appearance.

Incidentally, Falter is involved in activities which, were they Islamist, would be called (and treated as) support for terrorism: see below

Incidentally, the news editor posting that Novara Media piece, Rivkah Brown, is herself Jewish, though anti-Zionist.

Guess what types own LBC? Yes… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LBC#Global_Radio; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Tabor-King.

“Tabor-King has lived in The Knightsbridge Apartments complex since 2006, in an apartment he bought for £15 million.[14] In 2017 he bought the next-door apartment for £90 million.[14] Tabor-King also owns a mansion in Los Angeles. The site was purchased from Megan Ellison, daughter of Larry Ellison, for $26.25 million. Tabor-King also owns a $21 million apartment in Barbados.” [Wikipedia].

Who are their presenters? Among others, Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel, Lewis Goodall…

The U.S. Congress easily passed the bill to supply more huge amounts of money, arms, ammunition etc to Israel. American politicians are as, or more, “owned” even than the ones in the UK.

Falter trying to dominate the radio caller by speaking over him. Impudent bastard. Look at (part-Jewish) Rachel Johnson too, making faces when that caller speaks. She is both “entitled” and very very stupid.

Quite. As for “Lord Walney” (former MP, doormat for Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby, and sex-pest depressive, John Woodcock), I penned an assessment of him some years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/05/04/john-woodcock-barrow-and-furness-and-the-general-election-2017/.

The mass media, the police, and the “Clown” Prosecution Service should all wake up to the manipulations being carried out by the Jewish/Israel lobby in general, and the malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] in particular.

There is a hidden agenda (not deeply hidden though): if the Metropolitan Police Commissioner resigns, or is dismissed, because of the present contrived “CAA”/general Jew-Zionist storm, the “CAA” will have sent the message to the police (and “Clown” Prosecution Service) “do as we wish— or else”…The police and CPS will then cower whenever the “CAA” or other Israel-lobby creatures write a letter or pick up the telephone.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I merely equalled John Rentoul’s 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9. I was unsure about questions 4, 5, 6, and 10, and had no idea at all about question 2.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13327677/Cambridge-university-race-researcher-equality-lies-dropped-backlash-students.html

“A fellow at the University of Cambridge who has sparked backlash with his comments on race has been dropped by Emmanuel College where he was a research associate.

Nathan Cofnas, an early career research fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, is understood to have had his relationship with the college ended following an investigation into his conduct.

Mr Cofnas came under fire in February after he published a blog post which claimed the number of black professors at Harvard would ‘approach zero’ in a meritocracy, and that ‘Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’

He also dismissed equality between people of different ethnicities as a ‘thesis’ that is ‘based on lies’.

Mr Cofnas, who describes himself as a ‘race-realist’, is understood to have been informed of the college’s decision by letter on April 5, which stated his posts were in violation of its diversity and inclusion policies.

Last month, the first black man to ever be appointed to the head of a Cambridge College, Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, held an event with students and the master of Emmanuel Doug Chalmers to discuss their concerns.

Lord Woolley, who was previously appointed by then-Prime Minister Theresa May to head the UK Government’s Race Disparity Unit, told the assembled students that free speech must be protected, but this did not extend to ‘abhorrent racism’.

Emmanuel’s Master Mr Chalmers had initially backed Mr Cofnas’ right to freedom of speech, but the college soon launched an investigation, alongside other probes by the University and the Leverhulme Trust, which provided him with a research grant.”

[Daily Mail]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Woolley,_Baron_Woolley_of_Woodford

So the “diversity hire” has no understanding of the concept of free speech, or the concept of academic freedom, yet has been appointed principal of a Cambridge University college…

What a surprise, in the UK of 2024. Not.

The “Readers’ Comments” on that Daily Mail report are interesting. Almost every one supports the researcher, as do the votes on those comments.

Incidentally, the researcher in question is Jewish, so he cannot be described very plausibly as “Nazi” (nicht wahr?). See also a piece written on another subject by him: https://thecritic.co.uk/twilight-of-the-liberal-jew/.

Biden really ought to retire.

“Have you got a light, mac?” (“no, but I have a dark-grey overcoat“…boom boom…)

“There is no plan B without the USA – Kiev.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba, stated that this was the message he conveyed to his American counterpart, Anthony Blinken. However, he reiterated that for Ukraine there is no alternative to US military support, which already amounts to over 111 billion dollars since the beginning of the conflict with Russia in February 2022.“

“Rishi wants to get tough on the 850,000 more people on long term sick after ‘the pandemic.’ 1) You literally paid them to sit on the sofa & then wonder why work ethic changed. 2) You mandated novel interventions that have killed & injured people & increased the long term sick. 3) Universal credit costs about £80 billion. You wasted £310-410 billion over-reacting to ‘the pandemic.’“

The little Indian money-juggler is trying to ape the vulgar and unpleasant attacks on the sick, disabled, and unemployed that characterized the 2010-2015 government of Cameron-Levita, Osborne, and Dunce Duncan Smith.

If Sunak thinks that this tired and derivative form of “gutter politics” will fly, he is very mistaken. I was looking at the “Readers’ Comments” in the Daily Mail on this. Only about 1% support the policy and/or think that it will ever be possible (or desirable) to implement it.

We read that there is currently an “epidemic of shoplifting“. What does Sunak imagine will be the result of cutting off the last peanuts lifeline to people, leaving them totally desperate, destitute, homeless etc?

If Sunak and the Conservative Party are trying to improve their electoral chances by this, they are in cloud-cuckoo land. The only people who will be impressed will be the hard core of unthinking Con voters aged 60+, and they will vote Con anyway.

Of course, none of the announced policies will be implemented, or implementable, prior to the General Election. The question therefore devolves to the response from Starmer and Rachel Reeves etc, who will probably be forming the next government. If they follow in Sunak’s footsteps, there could be something akin to an uprising eventually; certainly social upheaval.

Bismarck introduced the skeleton of a Welfare State in Germany 150 years ago, not because the Iron Chancellor was soft, or very kind-hearted, but because he wanted to divert any revolutionary sentiment in the masses. Looks like the UK’s pygmy politicos are going the other way.

Over to you, Sunak…]

Ha ha!

Regular readers may recall my coverage of the end of a recent civil trial which went very badly for the Jew-Zionist pack so vocal on Twitter/X: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/04/18/diary-blog-18-april-2024/.

Now, more information. Seems that the egregious Israel-based Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was involved (I was unaware of that until today, though did wonder when I saw a few tweets in the past week). He has messed up…again.

Lewis is actually a pretty poor lawyer anyway in my opinion (based partly on what I have read about him over the years), and he has in the past admitted that at times — apparently by reason of his prescribed medications, in part— he has, or has had, no idea of what he is or was doing.

Looks now as if that Cantor individual (of whom I know nothing, and of whom I had never heard until this case finished recently) will or might have to take legal action against Lewis himself if he is not to become homeless after his failed attempt to ruin a university academic. What a great pity…

It is not for me to pronounce on whether Lewis was negligent and/or dishonest in this particular case, but (once again) it seems that he has, shall we say, “questions to answer”.

Lewis, though now based in Israel, has a foothold in the UK as “partner” of a small law firm in West London.

Lewis is basically a self-publicist: see my previous (years ago) blog mentions of him.

Update re. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— Questions Are Raised…

That blog post contains links which detail many (though I think not all) of Lewis’s defaults.

There is a notorious Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter/X, and in the UK mass media, which has been determined for years to present Lewis to a gullible Press readership, TV-watching public etc as “hot shot lawyer”, or (as often described) “top lawyer“.

The fact is that, when Lewis finally left the UK for Israel (to live in Israel) about 5 years ago, his own Counsel said (at his “trial” before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in London, at which Lewis was found guilty of having posted savagely violent social media posts) that Lewis had “no assets” except his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. Even his car was being provided to him by the State disability benefit service, Motability.

Oddly (not), Lewis’s appearance before, and “conviction” by, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal was not covered at all by the “occupied” UK msm, and only briefly by a few law magazines…

More:

Seems that James Wilson is, on the face of it, a little too kind. Those Jew-Zionist fanatics (the defendants Cantor and Mendelsohn, whoever they are —I had heard of the unpleasant Newbon) were, after all, quite willing to ruin Mr. Wilson if they could.

As for Lewis, he is, in my opinion, repeatedly unprofessional, quite apart from, also in my opinion, being very far from as effective as his fellow-fanatics try to make him appear.

Lewis’s Third Witness Statement says it— he “misunderstood“…

More on the other above-tweeted matter, i.e. Miller and Power v. Turner: https://luketurner.com/Deanna_Havas/Daniel_DC_Miller/; https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4547224; https://luketurner.com/victory-in-high-court-libel-case-against-nina-power-and-daniel-dc-miller.

I myself had not heard of that legal case until today. Here is the full judgment: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Miller-and-Power-v-Turner-08.11.23.pdf.

Lewis is no better than an “ambulance-chaser”, in my opinion.

I keep seeing on Twitter/X that Lewis must be a great defamation lawyer because he “won when representing ‘Jack Monroe’ against Katie Hopkins, who lost and had to sell her house.”

True, Katie Hopkins did lose that case, and did have to sell her house to pay the legal costs supposedly incurred by that fraudulent purveyor of 10p-a-dinner swill, “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, before she changed her name).

What that story leaves out is that, firstly, Katie Hopkins was either badly advised or, as I believe was the case, not advised at all; she had no lawyers, and so persisted with a defence which was bound to fail. She never stood a chance, but her pride got in the way.

As for Lewis, a child could have won that case against Katie Hopkins.

So Lewis was trying to blag £600 an hour for his most recent defective advice? Well, he will get nothing now (again); he will have to keep the lights switched off in his flat in Eilat, and “collect the pennies on the empties”, as people used to say.

Typical Lewis: tries to intimidate people who have no assets beyond (perhaps) a residential property; they, he hopes, will settle and, crucially, pay supposed “costs” to Lewis, who then gets money without having had to win at trial.

Lewis should be (at long last) struck off the solicitors’ roll; as for Myerson, the matter should be placed before the Bar Standards Board. I hope that Mr. Wilson complains formally to the BSB about him. In the meantime, Myerson should not be permitted to sit as a Recorder (if he still is so permitted after his previous defaults).

Yet another instance of Lewis having been, if not dishonest (?), then certainly negligent. That, at least, was the view of yet another High Court judge.

Britain 2024

A parody, but close to what the UK is now like…

The world has had capitalist societies, socialist societies, feudal societies etc, but now, in the UK, has emerged a new form of society— the permanently “offended” society of fake “diversity”.

Most of the faked “offence” is taken by “the usual suspects”, of course.

The Daily Mail and Jewish/Zionist so-called “charities” (including the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) are whining because someone convicted (on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber) in 2018, and then sentenced to 6.5 years, is being released a few months before the end of his full term expires.

Most prisoners are released at, or even before, the halfway point. In this case, that would have meant release in 2021, three years ago.

I hope that the State will not be so cruel as to deny the young couple the right to have their child returned to them. To do that would be absolutely evil.

If the newspaper report (penned by one Iwan Stone, incidentally) is correct, the couple intend to live in Portugal when they can. Good luck to them as they move on from all of this.

Have they not suffered enough?

Literary thought

For no obvious reason, The Merchant of Venice springs to mind. I have not seen a proper production being put on for quite a while.

Othello seems to be more popular.

Perhaps it always was; it has also inspired more adaptations and variations, as in this old noir:

A more natural way of life has to re-emerge in our society.

The little Indian money-juggler posing as Prime Minister is bought and paid for, like 80% of the MPs in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

No matter how much money the U.S. Government sends to the Kiev regime, no matter even how much armament and ammunition is sent, the Kiev regime cannot “win”, even to the extent of occupying the Donbass and Crimea.

The Kiev regime army is flagging as many desert the field, and many more avoid conscription. To be recruited by the Kiev regime army is to be sent to quite likely death or life-changing injury on the front-lines, which are now starting to collapse.

Ukraine is producing few children, and a quarter or more of its pre-2022 population is living outside Ukraine. If American and EU aid stopped, there would be no fighting within a few weeks, followed by either a negotiated armistice or Russian victory. As it is, it looks as though this brutal war will smoulder on for months, maybe even a year or two.

In the end, though, Russia will “win”, in the sense of taking over all of Eastern Ukraine, and possibly the coast as far as, and maybe beyond, Odessa.

I watched a few minutes of a very biased BBC World News report about the war. The reporter, some bearded fellow whose name I did not catch, did say something about why Ukrainians try to avoid fighting. Apart from the obvious dangers, open-ended service (no way of getting out) and poor conditions generally.

What, however, made the report farcical was said reporter’s then assertion that Ukraine is a “genuine democracy“. Hardy ha ha… A “genuine democracy” that now refuses to hold elections, has banned trade unions, which press-gangs people up to age 60 and beyond to serve as cannon-fodder on the collapsing front-lines, and which shoots dissidents, or holds them without trial in unpleasant camps and prisons.

Whitty strikes me as the sort of bureaucrat who, as Khrushchev said of Malenkov, should never be given power (admittedly, the second part might have applied to Khrushchev himself).

US aid and military involvement in the Israel-Iran fight might yet lead to entanglement and a possible superpower nuclear confrontation; US military involvement, directly, in the Russia-Ukraine war would almost certainly lead to nuclear war before very long. That is the difference. That, and the fact that the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby effectively rules over American politics. Most of their politicians are under control, basically.

Ha ha! So 51% of young Frenchmen are willing to fight for “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev)? If it were even 5%, I should be amazed.

“The shark can smell blood in the water a mile off when it is hungry” [John le Carre, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold].

The Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby would like to criminalize any criticism of Jewish or Israeli behaviour, and also any positive or even neutral analysis of the enemies of Israel.

Britain was once known as the home of free speech. No longer.

Incidentally, should any generous persons like to help me defray the Court-imposed costs of my recent free speech trial, the link is here: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J. If you cannot donate, at least share the link. Thank you.

A much-overworked word, “top”, as shown in that tweet. Likewise, barristers and other lawyers are often (and usually wrongly) described as “top“; as in “top lawyer Mark Lewis“, which years ago was used re. Mark Lewis, the Jewish Zionist solicitor briefly well-known a decade or more ago during the “phonehacking” affair, who fled to Israel several years ago following his “conviction” by a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for having posted some violently insulting social media posts.

Despite Lewis having been described for several years as “top lawyer” by various msm outlets, Lewis’s own Counsel at that Tribunal hearing said that Lewis owned only his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 per week.

Moral of the story? Never trust the msm.

If anyone wants to read more about Lewis, use the search box on the blog.

The flip-side of “top” may be “disgraced“, as (again, wrongly) used about me by “the usual suspects” and their scribbler dupes in the msm; in my case by reason of my (wrongful and unlawful) disbarment in 2016 and my recent conviction for having allegedly posted [the truth] on this blog.

“Top“, in that sense, is what might be called “Sun-speak”, used in tabloid “newspapers” but rarely in real life, along with “scorcher“, “fury“, “tot” (for a small child, not a small drink of spirits), and”far-right” (social-national) etc.

Hasn’t Goodwin worked out what forces are really behind the EU and NWO? (((you know who)))…

“They” always try to shut down free speech.

Goodwin may need to not antagonize “the usual suspects”, though.

Controlled opposition.

I often say that, but some (pro-immigration) people think that they “know better” than me…

It is very unlikely that Israel will still be in existence in 2034.

“Israel will surely respond to the Iranian attack, the question is in scale, instruments and time, according to Grigory Lukyanov, research associate of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Israel’s entire security strategy is built on the maxim that no attack on Israeli territory can go unanswered and that the answer must exceed the magnitude of the damage and the blow inflicted on Israel and its interests.”

What Gullis prefers not to understand is that people are voting, or intending to vote, Reform UK not because they expect their candidates, most of them, to win Commons seats or other elected positions (beyond local council level), but precisely because they know that voting Reform UK will hole the Conservative ship below the waterline, and sink it, along with the Conservative candidates.

Those voting Reform UK want to punish the existing government of clowns, even at the expense of inviting into government another bunch of clowns possibly even more toxic.

Polls show that almost all Reform UK voters believe that Reform UK will win few seats; even in their own constituencies where they vote, most (60%) do not believe that the Reform candidate will win.

What those voters are doing is making a protest vote against the whole rigged Westminster system, FPTP etc; they are also punishing the Conservative Party for being so useless generally, and especially on immigration and migration invasion, on law and order, and on things like NHS services. They are passing judgment on the Conservative Party, as well as saying “we want and deserve better” and “we want our country back” (which latter may or may not be possible now).

Reform UK voters, most of them, would never vote directly for Labour, not even tactically, but are going to steel themselves to vote Reform UK knowing that Labour victories, and some LibDem victories, will be the result. If Reform UK wins a few Commons seats, then (for those voters) that would be a bonus.

An appeal such as that by Gullis probably encourages Reform UK intending voters to stick to their guns.

[Update, 15 May 2024: Well, Gullis has now had his answer— Labour won that mayoral election, if only “by a neck, cleverly”, as they say on the racecourse. Labour 37.8%, Conservative 37.5%, Independent 11.7%, Reform UK 5.8%, and Greens 5.2%. The Con candidate would probably have won if Reform UK did not exist; most Reform UK voters would have voted Con, were the present Government not so utterly useless. There were few votes separating Con and Lab— 1,508 votes, in fact. The Reform UK candidate attracted 34,471 votes… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_West_Midlands_mayoral_election].

The result of constant msm propaganda. There is no reason for there to be a Third World War because of either the Ukraine situation or that in and around Israel, but certain groups in the West, mainly, are pushing for war.

Incidentally, what you rarely see is how Israel is, potentially, a threat, indeed a nuclear missile threat, to the UK and the rest of Europe:

I think that he means “unquestioning“, but yes.

Both UK and USA— corrupted.

Well, it could not be more clear what (((group))) is pulling Starmer’s strings. Everything about him, his political life, his personal life etc, makes that very clear. Putting it clearly, Starmer is a puppet.

When I had a Twitter account, it was one of a handful of individual Twitter accounts Icke followed; later, of course, the Jew-Zionist/pro-Israel cabal had me expelled, by pressuring Twitter (in 2018). Icke too, though he has returned, and I have not (and do not intend to return).

I once (about 1980) read an unpublished typescript in a dusty file (typed and placed in said file sometime around 1930 but a translation from a German original of about 1923) talking about how, within about 200 years (i.e. sometime around 2100 and thereafter), a web of part-human, part-robot “creatures” would criss-cross the Earth, but above the Earth (if I recall aright), and human beings would be to some extent dependent upon and in thrall to that web of intelligent human-robot creatures.

Was that just imaginative nonsense? I do not know but, looking at the Internet, looking at the rapid progress of AI, and looking at how human society is today already very dependent upon computerized systems etc (not only for physical activities but also for decision-making), I cannot simply dismiss it as over-imaginative speculation, or even a hoax.

I should like to read that manuscript again, if it still exists, but unfortunately I now have no access to the vault where it was stored.

Matt Goodwin, whose free speech has been interfered with, is very vocal in favour of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. They are the main group shutting down free speech in the UK, and have been for decades. Goodwin should reflect on that old American saying “what goes around comes around“…

So how are we in the social-national world going to deal with the regime of those who will be “elected” dictators of the UK in less than a year (maybe only a few months)? Answers “on a postcard”, but don’t expect me to publish them— free speech is already all but dead in the UK, and the expected Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting etc will finish the job, destroying what little is left of freedom of expression in this country.

This mysterious light made absolutely NO sound at all. And it remained perfectly still and static while I watched it – hovering high in the sky above the holy land.

Is it possible that “They” are watching over us all during this dangerous and tumultuous time?

During World War II many Airforce pilots reported seeing similar anomalous balls of light, which they nicknamed Foo Fighters, and historically there have been many UFO/UAP sightings which happened in close proximity to military bases and manoeuvres.

I believe that the human race has long been observed by a higher intelligence…and these beings are watching us because they care about our wellbeing and are worried about our ongoing survival as a species. #MysteriousLight #UnidentifiedFlyingObject #UFOs #HigherIntelligence #Observation #Survival #FooFighters #HolyLand #WatchfulBeings #AnomalousLights #MilitaryBases #Manoeuvres #WorldWarII #HumanRace #Wellbeing“

Do people really need to read a “report” from a “think-tank” to see what has happened to the UK over the past 13 (in fact more like 20) years?

Labour 1997-2010 was not quite as bad as the Con Party has been (2010-2023), but they were going along the same lines, especially after 2005.

Little friends. “The world is not without kind people” [Russian proverb].

Oliver Dowden. What a total deadhead.

There you have, in that interview, in 2 minutes of floundering nonsense, why very few people are going to be voting “Conservative” next year. Complete incompetence, total lack of preparation, just unwarranted self-confidence based on nothing more than always having had money and an easy career progression. A belief that you can always “blah blah” out of any difficulty. The “Boris Johnson” school of incompetent political pseudo-leadership.

How do such idiots ever get appointed? Oh…(see below)

Despite being arrested and bailed to face trail, car valeter Riaz was able to book a second flight to Istanbul, and on the way back to Manchester hurled a torrent of sexist and racist abuse towards cabin crew, fellow passengers, police and female airport officials.

During the flight Riaz, who it emerged had a string of 30 offences on his record, was seen drunkenly shadow boxing in the aisles and punching the seats.”

As he was placed in a police van, he went on: ‘No wonder it’s so easy for us to rape your white children – you’re all a bunch of p******. You f***ing s***s, fat-a*** c****. White woman are easy to rape. White children are easy to rape because white men are p******.’

Late tweets seen

I missed those tweets, posted a couple of days ago.

Jews with weapons. Jews with power. Need I say more?

Israel, the state founded by terrorists who shot and hanged British troops in the 1940s, and also British (and Arab) civilians, the state founded on ethnic cleansing, mass graves, theft of land, and Jewish supremacism, has over the past decades shown its real face more and more clearly. It is also the hub of a global financial and criminal empire.

As for Jews living outside Israel, the two “communities” have a symbiotic relationship, each feeding from the other.

This could be the moment… the Arabs (and Iranians) have always been disunited or mutually-opposed both in general and vis-a-vis Israel. Could this be the moment when all fall upon Israel, from all sides? We wait to see…

So that’s the end of that.

So that means that, probably, the Israeli Jews have killed at least 2,000 young children and babies, and wounded (including tearing off limbs etc) about 6,000, in less than a month.

I wonder how many will, one day soon, be landing in Tel Aviv?

Interesting.

Looks more like 1938 Vienna. Ironic…

Zionist Jews in the UK, USA, France etc support, most of them, the carnage unleashed by Israeli forces and their political leaders.

Look at Twitter/X etc. It is all there, in plain sight.

The Bully XL reveals the fraying of community life

As previously blogged, the armed forces of the Kiev regime are running out of cannon-fodder. There are few if any volunteers from Ukraine itself, and the virtue-signalling nitwits and would-be “soldiers of fortune” from the UK, USA etc have either been killed or returned home, and the supply has now dried-up. Thus the regime uses press-gangs to force service upon ever-less-useful categories of recruit: the disabled, the middle-aged, those with various illnesses etc.

“Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) has only one chance— to drag NATO into the war. All their efforts are directed to that end.

Pro-Israel lawyer Lewis heavily criticised by judge for conduct of case

I must have missed that, from last month:

“Israel-based solicitor Mark Lewis has been heavily criticised by Mr Justice Nicklin in a recent High Court judgement. Lewis is known for acting for Rachel Riley against Mike Sivier and Laura Murray, and for John Ware against Jewish Voice for Labour and Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi. Lewis also acted for the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the notorious so-called ‘Labour Against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was repeatedly disciplined by his employers for his behaviour on social media and was being sued by another of his victims – in his libel claim against Michael Rosen after Rosen had complained about Newbon’s tweeted misuse of Rosen’s famous ‘Bear Hunt’ book to attack former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

In the recent case, Lewis came unstuck when he was acting for Richard Davidoff of ABC Estates, a lettings and leasehold management firm. Lewis was seeking a court order requiring Google to disclose the identities of people with gmail addresses who had left negative reviews about ABC Estates on Trustpilot. The evidence in support of the court order was two witness statement by Lewis. The judge described Lewis’ evidence in general as “nothing more than assertion” and “perfunctory, even desultory” and “simply not good enough” to justify making the court order.

Things then got much worse for Lewis. He had stated that the Trustpilot reviews were “false, fabricated statements which Unknown person(s) know are untrue”. The judge conducted some online research himself and found that one of the reviews was true and based on the findings of another court. The judge said it was:

a matter of very real concern that the Claimants put evidence before the Court, on an ex parte application, that was not true.

The judge did not require Lewis to provide an explanation for the evidence that was “seriously in error” and accepted that Lewis would not have knowingly misled the court. The judge’s explained Lewis’ evidence as being:

because he had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.

The judge also stated that there had been a “significant failure” by Lewis to comply with the general obligation of full and frank disclosure. The judge refused all the applications and the escapade is likely to have costs Lewis’ clients tens of thousands of pounds. Perhaps Lewis’ claim against Michael Rosen would have ended in the same way?

Mr Justice Nicklin’s full judgment is available here, with comments about Lewis’s contribution from paragraph 84 onwards.

Mark Lewis is a former director of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) until his emigration to Israel and was involved in the relaunch of right-wing pro-Israel group Herut UK. UKLFI locked access to a YouTube video in which a panel discussed Lewis’s “very handy way of bankrupting organisations” the group considered to have done ‘wrong’. However, a transcript of the discussion is still available.

In 2018, Lewis was fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority for abusive speech on social media toward a young Labour-supporting critic and others.“

[Skwawkbox]

Some of my blog posts from past years about the egregious Lewis:

Update re. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— Questions Are Raised…

[other posts are linked via the one above]

Lewis was (is still?) a “Patron” of the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as the “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” or “CAA”.

Incidentally, the title “Patron” does not indicate financial support. When Lewis was censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority a few years ago, his fine was reduced by two-thirds after his Counsel told the tribunal that Lewis’s sole assets were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a used mobility scooter! So much for the so-called (sometimes, but only by the naive and ignorant) “top lawyer”! He then scuttled off to Israel.

“Richard Davidoff, of ABC Estates, and his legal team bungled a high court attempt to force Google to reveal the identities of online reviewers whose comments they claimed were false and defamatory.

The case unravelled after libel lawyer Mark Lewis, of Patron Law, accused one reviewer of writing a “false, fabricated statement” that referenced the decision by ARMA and IRPM to expel ABC Estates and Richard Davidoff.

Mr Justice Nicklin became peppery in his ruling (below, pp84-89) as his own “basic online research” revealed that this allegation was in fact true…”

“It is a matter of very real concern that the Claimants put evidence before the Court, on an ex parte application, that was not true.

“Mr Lewis has not provided an explanation to the Court for this error (I have not required him to provide one). Nevertheless, I accept that Mr Lewis would not have knowingly misled the Court.

“It is likely that this error occurred because he had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients. Nevertheless, as a result, he included a statement in his witness statement that was seriously in error. That error was not detected (or corrected) by the Claimants.“

[Mr. Justice Nicklin, in the High Court]

The High Court judge accepted that Lewis “would not have knowingly misled the Court” (but why accept that? Lewis is hardly a credible witness). Still, as the extract shows, Lewis (once again) “bungled” his work…

“The judge [also] said “the underlying claims in defamation are hopelessly weak”.

[Mr. Justice Nicklin, reported by LKP]

Neither Lewis nor the Counsel in the case (also used by Lewis in other cases in the past several years) seem to have taken that last into account.

Cave emptor…

I agree with some of what Stewart says; in much of it I was there 30+ years ahead of him, though that is not entirely his fault, he being 16-17 years my junior in years.

As I blogged recently, I shall probably buy his latest book used, via Amazon, once its £22 cover price reduces (you can already get a new copy for £16.69, and a used but almost new copy for £16.02). Once it gets down to a fiver…

Incredible.

Historical note

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

“In 1907, Dr. Henry Cotton became the medical director. Believing that infections were the key to mental illness, he had his staff remove teeth and various other body parts that might become infected from the hospital patients. Cotton’s legacy of hundreds of fatalities and thousands of maimed and mutilated patients did not end with his leaving Trenton in 1930 or his death in 1933; in fact, removal of patients’ teeth at the Trenton asylum was still the norm until 1960.[3]“

[Wikipedia]

Can you imagine the furore had a German psychiatrist done that during the currency of the Third Reich? It would be notorious and known across the world.

Typical. A three-car black family and yet they live in a cheap tract home in a soulless development, with scarcely a tree or bush in sight. Not that they care, because that is the way they are.

The Tom Harwood character is a ghastly little careerist moneygrubber who is quite plainly not even (credible) “controlled opposition” but just an obvious enemy of the British people and of Europe’s future. People like that are a menace and [redacted].

The NWO is desperate, desperate to prolong the war.

…and, almost 9 months since “Jack Monroe” threatened defamation action against Con Party MP, Lee Anderson, as well as against commentator Martin Daubney and others, nothing has happened, except “Jack Monroe” occasionally threatening less prominent tweeters with the same. She is not, of course, “a man of straw”, but a kind of “woman or binary something or other of straw”…oh, and her (at least, at one time) Jew-Zionist lawyer, Israel-based Mark Lewis, has as yet not emerged from his kennel to bark at anyone in respect of “Jack Monroe”.

Interesting tale, and Leigh Vaughan-Henry sounds like a good fellow, though I doubt that Wales Online can be taken automatically as accurate, in view of the fact that that particular report has a photo of the MI6/SIS HQ building in London captioned as “the MI5 building at Vauxhall, London“…

As a matter of fact, I am just now reading the book on which that report is based and, having almost finished it, can recommend it as a fairly good read, though the author does tend to let his personal views intrude now and then. Also, he does not examine in the round some aspects of why people did this or that at such a period of modern history.

[central Warsaw in ruins, 1940s]

If I am not mistaken, that photo of wartime Warsaw shows the main square in the Old Town quarter of the city, which I recall well from 1988 and 1989, when I visited Poland a few times. In 1988, I visited a famous Polish restaurant, the Bazyliszek (Basilisk), a couple of times, once for dinner (I think— that was, after all, 35 years ago), and once for a drink at the bar. That restaurant was in a building near one of the corners of the square.

The square, painstakingly reconstructed in the postwar era from old plans and photographs, now looks as it did before the damage done during WW2 (mainly in 1939 and 1944):

Human beings are remarkably resilient, a fact which I examined in a blog post a few years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

It would be far better to avoid even worse and more widespread devastation in Europe today than to repeat such terrible occurences, but the levers of power are often in the hands of reckless and/or stupid and/or evil “leaders”. You only have to think that Liz Truss, that very mediocre and uneducated woman, was actually Prime Minister of the UK for a short while. Anything might have happened. It still might.

Most of the notionally “independent” African states slid to chaos, corruption and civil war quite quickly after they ceased to be colonies. Why? Because the blacks were incapable of organizing anything once white (i.e. European) people left. There are many examples: Congo/Zaire, Ghana, Nigeria, Somalia, Tanganyika/Tanzania, Zambia etc.

More recently (from 1980) Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, which I myself saw prior to that, in 1977. It continued to function, up to a point, for several years, because a small proportion of the population was still European. Then most left, leaving Zimbabwe a swamp of corruption and near-chaos.

South Africa at one time (1911) had 22% of its population European; by 2010, that had shrunk to 8.9%, and may now be as low as 5%. The black population, under European/white rule, exploded in the 20thC.

After the whites of South Africa gave up their leading role in 1994, they have come to understand that, under black rule, there is no decent life for white people. Many have emigrated; others work overseas while keeping a home of some sort in South Africa. I used to talk at breakfast with a group of South African doctors who worked in the NHS at Exeter (UK) and other places, and who used to stay, as I did at times, at a farmhouse B&B in Devon.

It is not just a question of government. White Europeans ran everything else in the old South Africa. Now, most official posts are in the hands of blacks. Look at the results.

Cape Town very nearly ran out of drinking water (indeed, all water) a few years ago, because the African rulers and administrators had not prepared for drought: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town_water_crisis. The city was saved only by persistent heavy rain just at the time of greatest crisis; by chance or fate, in other words.

Now we see that South Africa is running short of electricity, in a country where solar power should surely have a leading role.

In other words, South Africa is going (as I always knew it would) the same way as the rest of Africa, though more gradually.

This savage and unforgiving conflict will probably see huge escalation in 2023, especially in view of the refusal of the Kiev side to negotiate even a ceasefire unless Russian forces withdraw from all areas of mainland Ukraine and Crimea.

The Kiev side probably hopes that Putin will be deposed, and the war thus (?) ended. It may not work out that way, even if Putin does leave the scene.

The “Jack Monroe” Twitterstorm (etc) continues

https://twitter.com/zacharysquest/status/1610492948092784641?s=20&t=GXPigj_YdOkAGuRkutiBmA

A not atypical “Jack Monroe” supporter tweets. “Screenwriter and novelist” (unpublished?), and of a certain age. I have yet to see a Twitter pro-“Jack Monroe” defender who is either “young” (under 30) or in any way “poor”.

I have covered the Monty Python-esque “Jack Monroe” “advice” previously, in several blog posts, so do not want to repeat it all today, but the sheer nonsense of it is incredible (e.g. make a dinner for 11p per head; e.g. open cans using a knife and a mallet or hammer; e.g. make a curry by mixing a tin of peaches and one of chickpeas with some curry powder, and heat in a microwave, etc).

The many tweets below are worth considering:

Very modest— I doubt that “Jack Monroe” is pulling in less than £6,000 a month from Patreon alone.

Incidentally, if anyone wants to support, with a one-off £5 or so, a genuinely-poor and struggling couple, that lady (“@frugally-minded”) has a crowdfunder: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/heather-booth-3?utm_term=Gde7678Nq.

Having been “down there” in the pit of actual poverty a few times in my life (thankfully never for longer than a few months at a time), I am well-qualified to advise people how to really survive and even somewhat thrive in such circumstances, but I prefer not to publish openly my very valuable and learned/experienced advice. ‘Nuff said!

I notice that the number of “mugs” sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 each month via Patreon has now fallen to 623, as of time of writing; that’s about 25 fewer than yesterday. 25 mugs woke up (at last).

Stray idea

If you take as a notional starting-point the idea that there are about 40 million people of or over the age of 21 in the UK, and if you consider that the UK has an area of about 92,000 sq. miles, which is about 60 million acres, then that works out at, very roughly, 1.5 acres per person.

Now let us assume that the State took ownership over about 4%-5% of that land, in other words less than a tenth of an acre per person, allotted to any applicant such a plot, and let such people use the land allotted to them in a manner akin to an “allotment” (or, if they want, to do nothing with “their” land, which would help wildlife at least). It might have a huge effect, as well as helping poor people to feed themselves.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_garden.

The details might need refining, and the concept would need organization, but I think that the basic idea would work.

Incidentally, if any object that the idea involves “expropriation”, I reply that that is so, but it would merely redress a small part of the balance from the time of the “Enclosures” of common land, and/or the “Highland Clearances”. The aim is, however, not backward-looking “revenge” but forward-looking policy.

“Santander is changing its degree requirements in an attempt to increase socioeconomic diversity in the workplace.

The bank will no longer require a 2:1 degree for graduates as recruiters try to find the ‘best candidates from a wide range of backgrounds’ – meaning those with third class degrees will now be able to apply.“

Ha. Not the only time the egregious and self-publicizing Jewish lawyer, Mark Lewis (now an Israeli resident and citizen), gave what at least some of his clients (as reported on Twitter and in the Press, and seen by me) regarded as duff advice.

That has been my impression. Apart from which, this whole idea that “poor people” —or others— need books of recipes is rather odd in the age of the Internet, when thousands of recipes of all types can be accessed in seconds and without payment.

I see from Twitter that, in face of the continuing and indeed increasing Twitterstorm, “Jack Monroe” has, once more, tried two of her favourite tactics— feigning illness, and withdrawing from Twitter interaction until the hue and cry dies down. She has done that (combination) frequently before, the last time only a few weeks ago. She always returns quite swiftly, ready to ignore the many cries of “will you refund the money you took?“.

Cookery books are bestsellers, quite often, but I wonder how many people (I presume mainly women) buy them but then never actually use them to make things? Not a rhetorical question. I actually do not know.

I do recall seeing, as a child of 10 (in 1967), several massive coffee-table-size books in the kitchen of my aunt-by-marriage, in Mosman, Sydney. I still recall the title of one: Larousse Gastronomique [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larousse_Gastronomique]. A huge and thick hardback book.

I have no idea whether my uncle’s wife ever actually cooked anything. I certainly never saw her make anything there, and that kitchen was as pristine as the rest of her large house on the side of a bay (Middle Harbour). There again, she had a cleaning lady and no less than three Norwegian au pairs (there to “assist” with her two adopted children— a baby and a small child), so perhaps the lack of mess or detritus was not surprising.

There was in fact one time I when I saw the said relative make something; in a holiday beach house at Palm Beach (in the area now called the Northern Beaches, the very northmost part of the Sydney area, but it was not called that then). The food in question was lobster with home-made (I think) mayonnaise, the first time I had eaten either; consumed outside. I do not recall having either lobster or proper mayonnaise again until I was in my twenties.

Sunak is actually proud of having participated in the lockdown/shutdown of the “panicdemic”, and proud of having sprayed money around like a drunken sailor!

Meanwhile, sick people are not being adequately helped, migrant-invaders continue to be ferried across the Channel, many are suffering financially very much, and the UK’s environment is being degraded.
