Journalists and analysts from Israeli TV channels report: The letter from pilots and naval officers demanding an end to the war has caused a real storm. Refusal to serve becomes a strategic threat.

[“NEW POST. I’ve just returned to Britain from Hungary, where I spent a few days giving talks to students, politicians, and members of the public. Whenever you mention Hungary among a certain group in London —think SW1 Westminster, the BBC, Financial Times, Oxbridge—people tend to lose their minds. ‘Hungary!?’ they say, ‘you mean that rather odd country in Eastern Europe that’s very conservative and falling out with everybody in the European Union!?” I first experienced this reaction last summer when, amid the Southport atrocities, I dared to point out that the country I was visiting and which Western elites like to criticise —a very stable, a very secure, and a very peaceful Hungary—looked utterly different to the country I was returning to. Because unlike Hungary, Britain was on fire. Widespread rioting and protests after the Southport atrocity had become an unavoidable symbol of intense public concern about things that are only significant in Hungary because they are absent —mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, and the murder of children by the descendants of recent immigrants. Nonetheless, my mere suggestion that perhaps Hungary has got some things right that Britain has got badly wrong generated an incredibly hostile response from British elites, reflecting an arrogance and snobbishness that is rife among that class. Indeed, for much of the last fifteen years there’s been an assumption among elites in Britain that something has gone ‘badly wrong’ with Hungary. But based on what I witnessed and was asked at events last week, I’m here to tell you that the opposite is true. Because as far as many Hungarians are concerned, it is Britain, it is England, it is us, who got things badly wrong, who made a series of disastrous policy choices they are determined to avoid, and who are, in the words of one person I encountered, “losing our country”.”]
I certainly enjoyed my week or so in Hungary (about 24 years ago), when I stayed for about 3 days at Szeged (having driven from Turkey through Bulgaria and Romania) and then about 4 days by Lake Balaton.

🔴 In a rare tour of the early-warning radar at RAF Fylingdales, @robhastings witnesses the crew complete a very realistic training exercise pic.twitter.com/ft50cJJn9e
In any case, were there ever a real military attack from (presumably) Russia (a conflict with which would be mad from the UK point of view— it would finish this country forever, probably), one of the first places to be attacked and eliminated (possibly by Spetsnaz attack, prior to the launch of any missile) would be Fylingdales itself.
On the wider aspects, while those working in such establishments may be fed the line that they are protecting the UK from attack and/or invasion, the reality is that the UK society those soldiers think they are protecting is decaying from within, and being invaded daily by literally thousands of migrant-invaders, both “legally” and “illegally”, and by births to non-white mothers within the UK.
UK society is changing, and being poisoned, before our very eyes.
Translation: what, really, are they protecting?
The euro is above 1.14, trading at its highest level in over three years. The dollar has lost 5.5% of its value against the euro since Liberation Day. That means buying European imports will now cost Americans 15.5% more. 10% for the tariffs and 5.5% due to dollar depreciation.
…meaning that only the wealthier Americans will be buying imports from the EU (that is largely the case anyway, of course).

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face.
Conservative Friends of Israel drone Gove, drunk and on cocaine at Westminster. A total enemy of the people; he should be punished, not rewarded.
One of the 5 tweets that (after the Jewish lobby pushed for it) got me disbarred in 2016 was that calling Gove a snivelling expenses cheat in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby. True facts. I (like most people) was unaware at that time (around 2012) that Gove was also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser.
Another of those 5 tweets was that calling Nicolas Sarkozy a corrupt little Jew. I was partly wrong there (he is only a half-Jew). Sarkozy has of course now been found guilty in a French court of corruption, alongside other Jews.
All my famous or (according to the Jewish lobby) infamous “5 tweets” (posted online between 2010 and 2014) have now been proven to have been true in almost every particular.
Incidentally, in more recent years, the Bar Standards Board wrote to me inviting me to have the disbarment annulled and a “rehearing” take place, mainly because I should never have been tried by a 5-person panel but only by a 3-person panel (which would have had no power to disbar), but I declined, partly because I was already well over 60 and unlikely to resume Bar practice, partly to show my contempt for the Bar (which is now a craven, multikulti dustbin afraid of its own shadow and especially the shadow of the Jewish/Israel lobby).
In other words, had I taken up that suggestion, I should by now have been reinstated as both barrister and —perhaps more useful to me— as a member of Lincoln’s Inn (a pleasant place for a lunch or dinner when in London). Still, I have no regrets, none of importance anyway.

Not (yet) quite the view I have been putting on the blog for the past three years, i.e. Russia to take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, as well as a wide coastal strip from the Dnieper as far as a point west of Odessa. Kiev and Odessa to be free cities (either autonomous or jointly-controlled). The rest of Ukraine west of the Dnieper to be ruled by a Ukrainian administration based in Lvov.
I think that the above formulation by me would be fair, and could form the basis for a lasting, if not very friendly, peace.
The Kellogg plan is frankly not as good as mine. It involves British and French forces effectively working with those of the Kiev regime on the ground, and has every likelihood of entangling the Western forces in conflict with Russia, directly.
Russia will never accept that plan anyway.
In any case, from the British point of view, why should we be involved at all? Ukraine has only been a supposed state for 34 years, and Britain has no historical connection with Ukraine, nor any national interest in getting directly involved.
The bottom line, though, is that Russia will never accept such a plan.

If you don’t understand how the legal system really works, here’s something you need to know:
Apart from giving your name and address, your only words to the police should be: “No comment.” Let your solicitor do the talking – that’s what they’re there for.
[“If you don’t understand how the legal system really works, here’s something you need to know: Apart from giving your name and address, your only words to the police should be: “No comment.” Let your solicitor do the talking – that’s what they’re there for. The system pressures people to plead guilty for a lighter sentence, even when they’ve done nothing wrong. It’s designed that way – quick, easy, and cheaper for them. But it leads to countless miscarriages of justice. And once you plead guilty, even if it becomes clear later that you were treated unfairly, you’ve usually lost your right to appeal. Know your rights. Don’t be bullied by the system.“]
I was wondering whether (presuming that it was so) the person in that first tweet pleaded guilty, thinking to receive mercy, if not justice. Not in a “political” case…
Interesting that the police (obviously, or presumably, posing as “anti-terror” plods) got the man’s credit/debit cards barred, thus forcing him to return to the UK rather than extend his stay, move elsewhere etc. Thus we see the dangers inherent in the looming “cashless society”. If your only money is stored in electrical impulses on a screen, it is controlled, monitored, and can be cut off, centrally. Be warned.

Starmer-stein and the Labour (Friends of Israel) misgovernment
So Starmer, with a potentially disastrous by-election (Runcorn and Helsby, 1 May 2025) coming down the track, is suddenly making meaningless “tough” noises about immigration gangs etc.
One thing is sure: the migration-invasion will not be stopped by such measures, even if implemented.
As far as Starmer is concerned, both as “world leader” or “statesman” (in his own little mind), he has, so far, managed to alienate both Russia and the USA, as well as 90% or more of the British people.

“Study the polls and see why Farage and Reform genuinely have a chance to govern.
Public put the Reform leader top in ‘best PM’ poll
Nothing is sticking. New polling for The Telegraph by Ipsos reveals that when asked who would do a “good job as prime minister”, Farage comes out on top on 28 per cent. Keir Starmer is one per cent behind, and Ed Davey two per cent. Badenoch is languishing at 18 per cent, her step-by-step approach to formulating a new set of Tory policies failing to register with voters who are still not listening to the “natural party of government”.
I went through the Ipsos numbers with Ben Butcher, our data editor, who identified just why Labour and the Conservatives should be worried.
“Labour is widely seen to be the party of the elite, with Reform trouncing Starmer with the C2DE and lower-paid respondents,” Butcher told me. The “red wall” is there for Reform’s taking, with the party polling well ahead of Labour amongst non-graduates.
“Ain’t nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos,” said the American politician, Jim Hightower. As Davey attacks from the soft centre, Reform outflanks the Tories from the other side. The Conservative leader is on a perilous downslope, her skis pulling in different directions. Farage beats Badenoch with older voters, the working-class and lower paid people on the question of who would do a good job as Prime Minister.
“Let’s fix broken Britain,” Farage told 10,000 people in Birmingham. “I’m not mucking about.” The old parties that once commanded the comfortable heights of majority support are very clear that he is not.“

I suppose that I am old-fashioned enough to tend to think that someone called “Darren” should never be an MP in the first place but, leaving that (which I concede is probably unfair) aside, this particular Darren is the very personification of the German saying “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death.“
According to Wikipedia, the weasel is married to some fake “social entrepreneur” whose business failed. She is now apparently making money out of the “net zero” nonsense championed by the fake “Labour” government of which her own husband is a key member.
Jones is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, like all or almost all of the Starmer-stein government.

What are Starmer/Reeves doing 1) implementing such cruelty 2) expecting their MPs to stand by it. They’ve put their own people in the worst of all worlds.
The first test of the public mood will probably be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, about which I have blogged in the past few days. The pollsters and bookmakers are forecasting a probably marginal or modest win for Reform UK. I disagree, though I do see from where that comes, looking at the fact that, in 2024, the constituency was the 16th-safest Labour seat. However, much has changed since the General Election of 2024 and, in any case, only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour even in 2024 (4 out of every 12 actual voters) in the country as a whole.
I am thinking that Reform will smash the by-election, despite the fact that Labour got over 50% in 2024 while Reform only got 18.1% (Cons 16%).
Everything has changed since July 2024:
a. the imperative desire to kick out a “Conservative” government headed by a (perceivedly) “unelected” and non-white PM (by voting Labour) is no longer there;
b. the continuing migration-invasion;
c. the harsh sentences given to people who supported the anti-invader protesters last summer;
d. the taking away of the pensioners’ Winter Fuel Allowance money;
e. the freeloading —and what amounts to casual petty corruption— of Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner etc.
Now also the latest terrible attack on the sick, disabled, and unemployed, as bad as anything done by the Conservative Party in office 2010-2024.
Former Labour voters will either not vote or will change to Reform, to punish Labour. Former Conservative voters will (though how many ?) vote Reform as a quite (and the only) realistic way of sticking it to Labour, Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves etc. People who favour Reform anyway will be motivated to vote because they know that this time they can win. People normally perhaps unlikely to vote, but who want to yell “NO!” to everything happening in this country, will mostly vote Reform.
On that basis, I think that it is possible that there could be a stunning win for Reform. If that happens, it will be the death-knell of the Starmer-stein fake “Labour”-label government, despite the fact that it has 4+ years left in office, in theory.
Election Day has not yet been notified but is widely expected to be 1 May 2025. Just under 5 weeks from today.

That was the best thing about the 2024 General Election, when hundreds of “Conservative” MPs lost their comfortable way of life. I hope to see the same (if not more, and “worse”) applied to the present Labour Party MPs.

Nearly 2,000 of the bastards in a single week. Sometimes, that number arrives in a single day. All expect to be sheltered, fed, given medical services, transport, pocket money…
“Refugees welcome” idiots such as Zoe Gardner (@ZoeJardiniere), Yvette Cooper etc have encouraged this aspect of the overall migration invasion, yet they themselves live in comfort, and far from the mean streets where the tragedy is mostly played out.
Acc. to Electoral Calculus, that translates to 215 Commons seats for Reform (largest party, but a plurality and not a majority: Lab 153, Con 151, LibDem 61, Greens 6 etc). A minority Reform government, with some kind of Con support, probably.
“I think there’s been some confusion online in recent weeks so let me clarify my view If you arrive illegally in this country you should be deported If you are a foreign national and break the laws of this country, you should be deported And if you are a dual national who is convicted of rape gang activity, you should be deported If you read my Substack newsletter or watch my show you will know these are my views and yes I have changed my views in recent years I think losing control of our borders while presiding over mass controlled immigration has been one of the most extreme and damaging policies the elite class has pursued It will go down in the history books as one of the biggest policy failures on record It has undermined our economy, divided our nation and weakened our democracy Only by doing what I suggest above, alongside dramatically slashing the amount of legal immigration into Britain, and removing Indefinite Leave to Remain, will we restore public trust in the system and our democracy Where I draw the line, however, is against those who think it is somehow desirable or possible to deport British nationals. It is neither. Which basically puts me where the average voter is. So that’s where I stand. Remove those who break our laws while respecting the British people who respect and uphold our laws.“
There you see the weakness of the Matt Goodwin/Farage/Reform UK position. Blacks, browns, and others with a piece of cardboard called a “British passport”, are apparently OK to stay, and to breed.
That would still mean that Britain will become majority non-white sometime later this century.
Unacceptable.

I was just looking yesterday, as I drove through, at the shopping area in the town very close to where I live. An affluent small town in coastal Southern England.
The big chains are mostly still there (Boots, Costa Coffee, Greggs, Holland & Barrett, M&S food hall, Waitrose etc), but the small independent shops have, many of them, closed up and disappeared. Why? Well, as I predicted at the time would happen, the sinister yet farcically-stupid “Covid” “rules”, “laws”, restrictions etc, so unnecessary (and utterly ridiculous), killed off those small businesses (despite furlough payments etc), and the knock-on effects of a poorer population also drove those shops to the wall over the past few years.
Examples? Well, the small barber-shop I once used, run by an old retired merchant seaman and his wife, which also employed a few local ladies, is no more. The old man died (nothing to do with the scamdemic/panicdemic, by the way), and his wife decided that she preferred to shut up shop. However, that was 2-3 years ago. The shop remains empty, as are those on either side (formerly a computer and office supplies place, and a junk shop).
A couple of new barber-shops have opened in the nearby High Street, true, but those are staffed by non-Brits (either Turkish or Kurdish).
I noticed, yesterday, that several small cafes are now closed, as is what had been a Cornish pasty shop. Some independent clothes shops too.
I went to the local Waitrose for the first time in months, mainly because I had £50 in gift tokens, and found that it has further declined since last summer. Not as many customers as there used to be at a similar time of day. Still, I bought 6 or 7 jars of red caviar, so that must have helped them.
More seriously, it is clear that people in the UK have been made much poorer not only because of the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic and its knock-on effects, but also because pay —not only recently but over the past few decades— has not kept pace with inflation, and particularly inflation in that most basic of needs— shelter, or housing.
Now “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves is sucking money out of the economy, and particularly out of the retail sector. The result will be further economic decline.
A measure of Basic Income must be the way forward.
Angela Rayner has a disabled child. Did she claim benefits to help with his living costs? Does she think he should be denied benefits now? https://t.co/WsSRWZvicq
That reminds me of the hypocritical part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita, who despite inherited tens of millions, went all-out to claim disability benefits and Carer’s Benefit for his sick and disabled child, but later —via Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and the Jew “lord” Freud— took away the same monies from poor people who really needed the cash.
I truly hate Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, David Lammy, Liz Kendal.
They are the scum of the earth and traitors to the British people.
Well, hello everyone! Yes, it is really me. I am back! As a great number of you had noticed, I have been missing online for almost two months now. I disappeared almost as soon as the trial for the Southport Massacre ended.
[“Where did you go, Charlie? Well, hello everyone! Yes, it is really me. I am back! As a great number of you had noticed, I have been missing online for almost two months now. I disappeared almost as soon as the trial for the Southport Massacre ended. Public opinion and concern has been split as to why I went missing; between those who thought I had a breakdown after covering the massacre, and those who thought I had caved to government pressure to stop reporting upon the cover-up. Neither of these, thanks to the strength of public feeling and the support of my colleagues, is true. What really happened? Three days after the trial ended, my X/Twitter account was hacked. My profile remained intact; live but inactive. Except for one thing…My viral timeline of the Southport massacre had been unpinned and DELETED. This timeline had been collated on the day of Axel Rudakubana’s sentencing, and detailed exactly what had taken place on that dreadful summer’s day in Southport. It exposed how the UK Government had failed time and time again to prevent this monster from moving about with freedom, and what they and other authorities had done to cover-up their incompetence, and the devastating consequences of their political agenda. This timeline had been see by 50 million people within 3 days – and was recognised as one of the most authoritative records of the Southport massacre. But, just as my account was gaining momentum, and I had the platform to explore the depth of the corruption in this case – including the anti-white sentiment of Rudakubana being glossed over by the Establishment and mainstream media – this detailed timeline of evidence was deleted, and I was locked out the account until this morning. (More on this to follow.) I do not know who did this to me, or what caused X to withhold my account from me for almost two months. But there is one thing of which I am certain: Whoever did this did not want the hideous truth about the Southport Massacre in the public domain…“]

Those tweets from James Wilson, successful claimant in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor, refer to the dishonest and negligent conduct of some (and it seems all, from what Wilson is saying) of the Jewish lawyers instructed by the unsuccessful defendants in the matter (one of whom, a vicious social media troll and Zionist, committed suicide before the case finished).
This must be the death of the Labour Party as anything even notionally “socialist” or even “social-democratic”. It goes way beyond anything done by Blair and Brown, or even Cameron-Levita’s “Conservative” regime during 2010-2015.
Why would anyone, especially anyone English/British, vote Labour-label now?
The by-election at Runcorn and Helsby now takes on an importance few would have expected. It is or was the 16th-“safest” Labour seat. Now, Reform has a good chance of winning it, according to opinion polls, bookmakers etc. I would go further: Reform has at least a pretty good chance of smashing the by-election, and thus humiliating both Lab and Con.
At the 2024 General Election, Labour got over 50% of the vote. We are now in a different political world. Reform came second last year, ahead of the Conservative Party.
The by-election is between Reform and fake Labour. The Cons have no chance, and their former voters, if they want to bin Labour, should vote Reform, even if only tactically. That is, surely, obvious.
I blogged about the by-election in more detail yesterday:
“The European Union is pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to have a three-day survival kit ready in case of war or natural disasters.
EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib said the proposals will be formally presented today as part of a broader ‘preparedness strategy’.
Brussels is hoping to ensure every citizen is equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency amid the growing threat of continental conflict breaking out.
EU citizens will be told to stock up on a dozen key items, including matches, ID documents in a waterproof punch, bottled water, energy bars and a flashlight, as part of their ‘resilience’ kit.
European leaders have said the invasion of Ukraine could soon break out into a ‘global’ war.”
[Daily Mail]
So what do the unfortunate people of the EU states and UK do once the 72 hours have passed, and the 3-days’ supplies have run out? Kill themselves? Kill the System politicians? (Hey, now… wait a minute…).

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.
No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).
That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.
For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.
In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.
The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.
The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.
People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.
I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.
I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.
At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.
I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.
This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

Not sure how accurate is the contention that counter-intelligence is the “main function” of the FBI; not much, I think. The FBI was set up or, rather, re-established under J. Edgar Hoover (“the New Bu‘”) to deal with the wave of interstate criminality that arose after the First World War.
Counter-intelligence and counter-espionage was not its main role then, though Hoover did try to counter both Soviet espionage and, from about 1941, German espionage and sabotage. He had some successes, but was always likely to do whatever led to favourable headlines in newspapers, even if that might prejudice delicate investigations.

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

This is getting obscene now. How do you give people greater dignity by removing their ability to wash below the waist and get in and out of the shower. https://t.co/Htcx53yS2A
The sheer hypocrisy of the Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” government is simply unbelievable. Surely Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Torsten Bell, Starmer-stein etc can see that? Or are they so removed from truth and decency that they cannot see it? That might be even more alarming.
A new MP for Runcorn? Bring on Reform, say disillusioned voters | Reform UK | The Guardian https://t.co/EgBKUoNgaE
I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.
As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.
From “tepid bath of managed decline” (really offensive) to blood bath. On top of 30,000 NHS England jobs. We are the party of work, it’s in our name, says Starmer! I don’t think you are. What a disgrace and totally counterproductive in an already struggling economy. https://t.co/HNL1ZdmhUP
“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“
[John Harris in The Guardian]
I should not be surprised to find (if I am still around) that, somewhere down the line, in 5+ years’ time, the members of the present Cabinet will find themselves up against a wall.
A super piece. I simply don't take Kemi Badenoch seriously. She will never be Prime Minister. I rate her 1/10. Keir Starmer, who I rate 3/10, surely can't believe his luck. Even so, tangentially, I increasingly wonder how much longer Starmer is PM? He'll be gone well before 2029.
Russia and the US have a long way to go to resolve the situation in Ukraine, and there is no point in deceiving ourselves about imminent prospects, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov pic.twitter.com/SmBOg59npJ
Sumy Oblast or region is in NE Ukraine. Sumy city is NNW of Kharkov; about 150 miles from Kharkov by road but only about 90 miles as the crow flies. About 200 miles east of Kiev.
So Russian forces are in Sumy Oblast now. There seem to be Russian advances in all material parts of the overall front. Kiev-regime forces are falling back.
I don't think people properly understand the extent to which Labour is now the party of the rich. In 1997 the Tories led Labour by 10 points amongst the most affluent AB social class. But Labour led the Tories by 23 points amongst C2s, and 38 points amongst DEs. In 2024 Labour…
Why do many think it impossible that “the lion will lie down with the lamb” in a future age? All things are possible.

If you want the full story about Beth Grossman of Doughty Street, Mark Lewis of Patron Law, and Daniel Berke of 3D Solicitors, here it is:https://t.co/02BP64b6sl
I think it was Daniel Berke’s firm 3D Solicitors who acted for Pete Newbon in relation to Northumbria. Maybe it was them who advised him not to make the agreed apology?
As to why they gave that advice, my theory is that the plan was to sue Michael Rosen and making the apology…
For those who are unaware of the outline of James Wilson’s (now-successful) libel case against three defendants (all Jews; in one case, possibly only a part-Jew), the defendants were advised and/or represented by Jewish solicitors and barristers who seem to have been, all or variously, professionally negligent and/or incompetent.
Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke were the main solicitors for the defendants, Beth Grossman of Doughty Street Chambers was the barrister (possibly the only barrister; I do not know, and only heard of her recently, via Wilson’s Twitter/X account and Substack blog).
Are people reading your Substack blogs?

I get about 900 views per piece on average. And the daily visits keep going up so far.
I definitely have some very committed readers in the legal field.
I expect they know Mark Lewis professionally and are keen to see his antics finally exposed?
“Lewis’s reputation“? Ha ha! Only ignorant fools think that that is worth more than a plugged nickel. I have blogged many times about him, over many years; he has never once threatened to sue me (no doubt partly by reason of my impecuniosity, but truth as defence –or other defences— may also have much to do with it).
Feel free to republish any of my blog posts. After all, I was a barrister until a pack of Jews procured my wrongful and, it turned out later, actually unlawful disbarment (in 2016): see
Success and failure are never certain. The great Stephen Sedley tells a funny story about when he started as a barrister doing work for North Kensington Law Centre. pic.twitter.com/TC4nydR6P6
Ha. Amusing. As a matter of fact, I myself appeared as Counsel in the High Court several times before Sedley, a High Court judge at the time (early 1990s), notably in a case involving a former member of the Angolan Secret Service.
I doubt that there are many barristers who have never suffered excruciating embarrassment in open court. For example…
Well, I did much better than political journalist John Rentoul this week— 7/10 as against his claimed “4 and a half out of 10” (not sure how he managed to give himself a half-point for no.7; still, there it is). I did not know the answers to questions 6 and 9; I might have got no. 3 had I thought about it (but did not, because I jumped at Francesca di Rimini which was composed a couple of years earlier).

❗️ Russia poses no threat to the UK: neither in its waters, airspace, nor streets & certainly not to Britain's long-suffering NHS.
We have no need to do so. It is the UK government that needs these fabrications to avoid dealing with the country’s real social & economic problems.… pic.twitter.com/elmTGLwXZo
Right to praise WW2 fighter pilots, wrong to attack the young. My father had enormous sympathy for depression etc and never criticised his children for weaknesses or just being young & silly. He never got the chance to be really silly during a war.https://t.co/PEp4bUYSIs
Unpleasant Jew “restaurant critic” (what a silly job) talks about “our” (i.e. British) “Battle of Britain bravery“. He, of course, has never served in any armed force; neither have any of his family (not in this country, anyway; I suppose that it is possible that he has relatives serving in the Israeli forces).
I was unable to read the full article, by reason of the paywall; why would anyone pay to read that sort of ignorant rubbish?
Worth watching Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff accusing Keir Starmer of being simplistic, posturing and posing.

Roughly what the “cut” in welfare spending looks like: blue before; red after; rising from £74.9bn to £95.7bn instead of £100.7bn https://t.co/zoWtLPfhK8 Table 5.10 memo line: health and disability benefits pic.twitter.com/DbQZ2OdKqc
Rentoul, as usual, supporting pseudo-“moderate”/”centrist” Labour-label. Making out that the spending cuts are not really cuts at all. Tell that to people who will now be deprived of much or all of their income because of this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment (Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves and, of course, Starmer-stein himself).
Others may get more, yes, and more will be spent on keeping alive, sheltered, and fed, useless and hostile migrant-invaders by the million. British people needing help will, in many cases, not get that help, or much of it.

Another scandal that govts of all colours have lacked courage to tackle. Council tax is outdated, regressive, and grossly unfair to those living in poorer regions and in cheaper properties.
There it is. Disgraced sex-pest Jew ex-MP praises a woman, Jewish again, who wants Russia and Russia people beaten and humiliated. One would imagine that Newmark would shut up and keep his head down, but that is not “their” way…
Incidentally, quite a few years ago, that tweeter was some kind of office manager for her then husband, a “Conservative” MP, her no-doubt generous salary paid for out of his MP expenses. Well, they are now no longer married, and he is no longer an MP. She appears to have set up some “organization” (possibly consisting only of herself) called “the Moderates”, which seems to lie politically between the LibDems and the David Cameron-Levita Conservative Party “compassionate Conservatism” scam of 2010-2015.
