Since Goodwin tweeted that, Yvette Cooper, the Labour Friends of Israel member and expenses fraudster presently posing as Home Secretary, has said that she intends to keep the focus on both Islamists and the “far right”, i.e. blogs such as this.
The Home Office, like much of the existing administrative system, indeed much of society in the UK, is riddled with traitors, enemies of the people.
I once predicted this to a friend who had been offered a safe seat under Blair (but had refused, having thought that being an MP would diminish his income— he had no idea how much the MPs were ripping off via expenses etc).
He answered me by agreeing that it would have been better had mass immigration never happened, but “we are where we are” (i.e. we could do nothing now about it).
That conversation took place about 25 years ago, in fact longer yet, about 28 years ago!
Think how many millions of invaders have arrived (legally, illegally, and via both actual immigration and via births to non-Europeans) since then…
What's most disturbing about this Home Office report is the suggestion that discussing the rape gangs is "anti-Muslim sentiment" and "far right extremism" was written only a few months ago after countless independent reports on the rape gangshttps://t.co/LNpL9lyLMphttps://t.co/ALmpnwX9mx

The evil little cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], of which Lewis is part, has made a habit of making false and vexatious complaints to the police. They have done it concerning me, several times.
Indeed. It is now Mark Lewis’ clients that are going bankrupt. Maybe Lewis should have been more focussed on protecting them and less fixated on getting me?

According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.
So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.
Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.
Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.
If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

“She was elected to Parliament 7 years before him. She was (inexplicably) a Cabinet Minister now (inexplicably) LOTO. This crap needs to stop – not least because it looks so weak and the greybeards said she’s Boudica. A disgrace a fringe party with 5 MPs is currently out-performing the out-going government party.”
As Fiona Syms (ex-wife of an ex-MP) knows well enough, Reform UK is not really a “fringe party”. It has only 5 MPs because the electoral system in this country is both grotesquely unfair and grotesquely illogical.
At GE 2024 (and in rough terms), out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.
If Reform UK is “a fringe party“, then so is not only the Green Party, but also the LibDems (who got 500,000 fewer votes than Reform UK), and indeed the Conservatives, who received only slightly more than 1.5x the votes cast for Reform UK. Even Labour only received just over 2.3x the Reform UK vote.
In actual numbers: Labour 9,708,716; Conservatives 6,828,925; Reform UK 4,117,620; LibDems 3,519,143; Green Party 1,841,888.
If the people keep being ignored, they will eventually turn on the System parties.
I agree with Fiona Syms, though, re. how hopeless Kemi Badenoch is. Well, there you go. If you put people in positions because they are “diversity hires”, they will almost invariably be a waste of space. Look at Lammy…

Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor
The first instalment of what happened in Wilson v Mendelsohn, Newbon and Cantor is now live.
Includes a laboured joke about Mark Lewis of Patron Law being only the seventh best lawyer in the case.
As blogged previously, many times, I pity anyone who has Jewish fanatic Mark Lewis as his or her solicitor (and, yes, I do know that he has been on the winning side sometimes, though usually in open-and-shut cases).
Anyone interested in my views about Lewis (who was wont to tweet pathetic and men tally-disturbed insults about me, for years) can simply type his name into the search box on the blog.
Extract from James Wilson’s Substack blog:
“Mark Lewis and Patron Law – Patron Law’s website states that Mr Lewis is the “UK’s foremost media, libel and privacy lawyer”. This is a bold claim. In an email to me dated 1 March 2023 Mr Lewis stated “I do not think that you will succeed [at trial] given that [the person who published the Facebook post originally] has indicated that she honestly held the opinion that you were a weirdo. … However, that is the point of litigation and you might be able to persuade the Court that [she] did not hold an honest opinion that you are a weirdo.”
Mr Lewis’ statements make no sense at all and suggest a frightening lack of understanding about defamation law and the issues for trial. That Mr Lewis charges £600/hour for analysis such as this is mind-boggling. In reality: the opinion of the person who published the Facebook post that I was a weirdo, and whether I could persuade the court she did not hold that opinion, were irrelevant. What actually had to be proven – by the defendants – was that the defamatory statements in the screenshot were factually true, or their own honest and reasonable opinion. The defendants’ case here completely fell apart when the person who originally published the Facebook post gave evidence for them at trial. She was a truly awful witness whose evidence the judge found to be “wholly incredible” and “plainly untrue”.
There’s an old joke about Ringo Starr: “Ringo wasn’t the best drummer in the world… Let’s face it, he wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles”. Given what is above, the equivalent joke here is: “Mr Lewis is not the UK’s foremost libel lawyer… Let’s face it, he may have been only the seventh best libel lawyer in the Wilson v Mendelsohn case, behind four other libel lawyers and Wilson and Mendelsohn themselves, and they were amateurs.”

One of the peculiarities of the modern mindset, seen since the 19thC, is the tendency to believe that those with enormous amounts of money are either giant villains or near-saints, and in both cases hugely intelligent. Not always the case. Many are average or somewhat above-average minds, and may or may not be correct on this issue or that.

Talking point
Though Powell would never have spelled “dependants” in the American fashion as above. No matter. The quotation is otherwise correct, and accurate in terms of Powell’s prediction. The only thing he got wrong was in the numbers. If as few as 50,000 non-Europeans were to invade the UK in 2024 or 2025, even Reform UK, even the rump of the NF or BNP, indeed even I (perhaps) would be sighing a sigh of relief.
At present well over a million a year are flooding in; about 1.4M. Only a couple of hundred thousand are leaving in the same time period, together with 50,000-100,000 Brits. That means over a million more inhabitants each year, which would be unsustainable even if they were all British, or white Northern European generally. However, a million more a year, of which many, indeed most, are useless, parasitic, criminal, or downright hostile to European culture and people, is indeed mad, just mad. It must lead to the breakdown of society sooner or later, probably sooner.
In fact, as the links clearly show, the father was “typical” in that, despite making millions out of commercial litigation, he supported not only thick-as-two-short-planks would-be black revolutionist Nelson Mandela but also the (other) terrorists (Africans and Jews) put on trial with Mandela in the Rivonia trial of 1963-64 (they intended to start a race war against white European people in South Africa). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivonia_Trial.
Incidentally, if you look at the tweets of Matthew Stadlen, which I have just been doing (for the first time, I think, certainly the first time for a number of years), you see that he is socio-politically confused. He welcomes the end of the Assad government in Syria, but lashes out at a tweet by Kelvin Mackenzie who makes the point that the 30,000 Syrians now in the UK as asylum-seekers or grantees can now go back.
Likewise, Stadlen praises the open spaces he and his dogs are able to enjoy in southern England, yet wants migrant-invaders to be allowed to arrive unimpeded, and to be housed (etc) at UK-taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his thick-as-two-short-planks supposed “deputy”, Angela Rayner, prepare to trash even more of England so that hutches for migrant-invaders can be built on a massive scale.
Again, Stadlen seems irritated by the decline of London into a city of crime, violence and anti-social behaviour, but fails (wilfully, I think) to note who is actually doing the vast majority of that…
Appreciate your answering but won't pretend I understand these particular distinctions on advising. I don't think it really addresses the issues you raised in your first tweet. Seems evasive to this layman.
“So, one of the things the SRA seem to be saying – and I think this comes from the very top, Juliet Oliver, general counsel – is; – a solicitor can continue to advise a former client where a conflict has arisen between that solicitor and client – so long as the solicitor only advises the client and does not ‘act’ by communicating with third parties or the court.” [James Wilson]
I mean I could guess what sort of response the SRA would get, and what sort of epitaphs would be used against them, if they reined in what I also regard as excessive generosity.

Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson getting the law wrong (again)…
On a wider point, that whole traditional rank of “King’s Counsel” or KC should be done away with. Outdated, and now all but meaningless. As an ordinary barrister from 1991 (in practice from 1993) to 1996, and then from 2002-2008, I encountered QCs (as they then were) in court a number of times, and did OK against them quite a lot of the time, if I say so myself. Sometimes they won, sometimes I won.
I believe that about 1 in 6 of practising barristers are now “KC”. In the past, particularly before the Second World War, the proportion was far smaller, partly because those in a position to recommend and/or make the decision were more selective; partly, also, because there were fewer applications, and that was partly because a “KC” then usually had to “lead” a junior (non-KC) barrister, and so cost the lay client 2x, sometimes 3x or more, in fees. Some took silk only to find that they became far less busy. These days, not only does a KC often appear alone, but in some cases even unattended by a solicitor.
I believe that I recall from the memoirs of Lord Denning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Denning,_Baron_Denning] that when he “took silk” (became a KC), in 1938, there were only 4 such “letters patent” granted that year, including his own. In 2024, no less than 100 persons became “KC” (5 honorary only, 95 ordinary).
Of course, in recent decades, arguably starting in the early 1990s, the pernicious influence of “political correctness” (now often termed “woke-ness”) has had its effect; it has never been admitted that the Bar now has some King’s Counsel appointed at least partly by reason of their “ethnic” background, but that such is the case is the opinion of not a few (including me).
Well, there it is.
As to Lord Denning, in his day, he was the most popular judge among the public; arguably the only popular judge, as well as the one with the most name-recognition. Opinion among barristers was less unmixed, though few if any would dispute his very great ability.
I saw Lord Denning up close only once or twice, notably when hurrying to the Library at Lincoln’s Inn in the early 1990s. My chambers were in the Inn at the time, and I was also a member of the Inn then (I was much later —2017— expelled, as an automatic consequence of my politically-procured disbarment of 2016).
I pushed open the very heavy oakwood Library door and missed, by only an inch or two, knocking over Lord Denning, who must have been about 94 (b.1899). I recall that he did not flinch, and smiled benignly as I held open the door for him.
[Lincoln’s Inn Library]
Incidentally, just now looking at Wikipedia’s article on Denning, I see that, by 1936 (2 years before he took silk), his income was some £3,000 a year (arguably worth about £200,000 in the money of today, and income tax was far lower in 1936). Impressive, but the leading silk of the day, Birkett, at about that time had an income of £25,000 (between £1.5M and £2M today).
By comparison, in that era, domestic staff in a large country house might receive between £100 a year (kitchen maid) to £250-£500 a year (chief gamekeeper, or for a valued chief cook or butler in a great household). Of course, most were fed, clothed, and given accommodation as well.
Still, Denning, in the mid-1930s, was making about 10x the income of a head gamekeeper, and perhaps 30x the income of a kitchen maid. Birkett, on a fee-income of between £25,000 and £40,000 a year, was making as much as ten times even those figures! Several millions a year, in 2024 money.
Social history. Interesting.
I see that, when Denning was made a High Court judge in 1944, his salary was set at £7,000, perhaps £300,000-£400,000 in today’s money, so rather more than High Court judges now get (around £225,000; and income tax is higher today).

No indication in that report as to why the defendant was even in the country. Nothing about the savage having a job, either, yet here the bastard is, in the UK, and with a home and a car, at that. Oh, and he had enough money to buy cocaine, apparently.
At least he thought to buy food for his cat, as it seems. I hope that the cat was not made homeless.
This country is so screwed, incredibly so.
Nothing that mass deportations or executions could not at least start to solve, though.
Some readers of the blog may be aware that Myerson is a Jew-Zionist barrister, based mainly in Leeds. Indeed, he holds letters patent as King’s Counsel (which is no longer the distinction it once was), and was sacked as Recorder (p/t judge) earlier this year (though permitted to “resign”, officially) after his vituperative tweets became notorious, and after he ignored his initial “warning off” from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.
Only yesterday, Myerson was tweeting that the Russian Ambassador should be forced to give evidence in court, then arrested when “we do not believe him“. A strange thing for any barrister to tweet, seemingly in ignorance of both diplomatic immunity (under the 1961 Vienna Convention and/or longstanding customary international law) and the English law re. perjury.
I can only presume that Myerson was making some kind of peculiar joke (funny only to him); which, in a sense, is even more disturbing.
Myerson’s own testimony for the defence in the recent defamation case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor and Newbon (deceased) was not thought worthy of being given any weight by the judge presiding. The claimant, Wilson, won his case, overall. See https://x.com/per_incuriam2.
Incidentally, Myerson is a member or supporter of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which latter undertook that private prosecution against the defendant Michael Derham. The memberships or support cadres of those “well-funded” little organizations overlap to some extent.
Myerson is also wrong (arguably, or in my view) in having tweeted that the court “convicted” that defendant, Myerson having not explained that the defendant pleaded guilty. There was no trial.
It seems that the sentence was a fine and costs amounting to a total of £1,000, to be paid off at £100 a month.
I recently wrote on the blog about how people accused of political crime, and prosecuted (as in such a case as the above), should always plead Not Guilty. My view on that is that such prosecutions (especially abusive private ones brought by such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) should never be validated by a plea of Guilty. Yes, there is the (notional) danger of a heavier sentence if found guilty, but the difference will not be great in most cases.
In the above-noted case, the defendant apparently had no previous convictions, and had elements of personal mitigation anyway. He should have fought the matter to the bitter end, as I would do, and indeed have done (see below).
I think that, in matters such as animal welfare, there is still a place for private or privately-brought but quasi-public prosecutions brought by organizations such as the RSPCA. However, in other matters, particularly “political” cases such as noted above, organizations such as the “CAA” should be prohibited from abusing the law to achieve maliciously-intended and socio-political ends, as so often happens. After all, the “CAA” is a Jew-Zionist organization closely tied to Israel and the Israeli Embassy in the UK. Though small, it is very well-funded. From where do such funds originate?
Incidentally, my own free speech trial, in November 2023 (sentencing hearing was in March 2024), was a public prosecution brought by the “Clown” Prosecution Service, but was only initiated after the CPS and the Hampshire Constabulary had been subjected to intense and directly political pressure by the “CAA” pack and their collaborators. Read my account(s) above.

Starmer supports rebellion against dictators, he says. In Syria, and elsewhere. Well, he himself is a kind of petty dictator, “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, in the old proverb…
When Tel Aviv Keith refers to giving thanks “on behalf of the whole country“, he must mean Israel, which (via the UK Israel-lobby) controls him.
This man Starmer is so detested by most of the public, I would be very worried if I were him. How can he look any body in the face without feeling this innate sense of dislike for this pathetic liar. @GBNEWS@elonmuskpic.twitter.com/QAymiGy7Fd
MI6/SIS is an almost-pointless institution anyway. It lives off a reputation from the Second World War and Cold War which is and always was largely undeserved; unmerited.
Goodwin is right, though, about the “politicization” (I would say “socio-politicization”) of so many UK institutions. The police are heavily contaminated, as is the CPS.
Pity that Goodwin ignores the poisonous nature of the Jew-Zionist pressure on such institutions, though, and the directly consequent destruction of free speech…That Jewish/Zionist/Israel-lobby influence is the major repressive factor in the contemporary UK.

Vysotsky musings
I happened to find an old Vysotsky CD in the car. Playing it as I drove along, I found myself musing on Vysotsky. I was actually unaware, until I looked more closely at his Wikipedia profile, that he was half-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vysotsky#Early_life. Surprising, perhaps, in view of his occasional lampooning of Jewish types and/or accents in some of his songs.
When I got slightly involved with the Soviet and Russian milieu in the late 1970s and then 1980s (though only in and/or from the UK; I never went to the Soviet Union, and first visited Moscow only in 1993), it struck me rather unpleasantly what a decadent society had grown up in that part of the world. In particular, the excessive drinking of some Soviet citizens (mainly men) and also the heavy smoking (especially though not exclusively men). Not everywhere, certainly not everyone, but enough to rot the society from within. That, and corrosive cynicism.
Vysotsky was to some extent the personification of all that. That is not to take away from his great talent as a singer-songwriter, but that sort of unhealthy lifestyle was, in my view, a large part of the reason why the Soviet Union collapsed so completely so unexpectedly, just as its semi-toleration of underhand dealings, criminality, and (largely Jewish) underground business activity in the 1970s and 1980s led, in the post-collapse 1990s, to the glitzy tasteless Russia of the (mostly Jewish) “oligarchs” under Yeltsin and, to a lesser extent Putin, and to the gangsterism rampant in the 1990s (though far less so now).
Andropov was probably a highly unpleasant man, and extremely repressive, as well as possibly half-Jew (it is not certain), but I think that he saw the train coming down the tunnel at Soviet society, and decided to stop it. His unexpected death really sounded the death-knell of Sovietism.
I read a Daily Telegraph piece about “middle class” homeless people (i.e. people who had good jobs, decent houses or flats, and then didn’t). The article waxed eloquent about the pressure on social housing etc, but the words “immigration” and “migration” did not appear; not once.
As Hitler said of many during the Weimar Republic period, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“…
BREAKING.
A poll by Findoutnow has shown Reform (24%) ahead of Labour (23%) for the first time ever.
Another interesting thing about this poll is that while @Nigel_Farage & Reform are ahead of Labour they’re also more popular than the Tories among the under-65s … https://t.co/0qKp502tEw
While FPTP voting would still be cheating Reform of nearly half of its potential seats under full proportional voting (156), those figures would give Reform about 95 seats, according to Electoral Calculus (Con 219, Lab 207, LibDem 67, Greens 6, SNP 22 etc). Thus Reform would be the “kingmaker”, though even then the Cons would have to agree with another party to get over the 326 line, or even the ~315 practical line.
In fact, as Goodwin implies, the only factor that keeps the Cons even as high as 26% in the polls is the pensioner vote. That may reduce by 2029; we shall see. A result of Reform 26%, Con 24%, Lab 23% would result in a Commons with Lab 195, Con 174, Reform 149. Still unfair and illogical, but on that showing, Labour would be unable to form a government even with LibDem, SNP and Green support, whereas a Con-Reform coalition could, just about.
If Reform, Con, and Lab all got 25% (others as given), then the result would be Lab 245, Con 188, Reform 93, LibDem 69, SNP 22, Greens 6.
I myself tend to think that Reform’s star is waxing, but the others waning, so a result somewhere in the area(s) above is not unlikely, with 3 or even 4 parties having almost equal success.
My experience with having had 4 bikes stolen in London, is the Police are 100% ….not interested. I recovered one because I spotted it tied up whilst driving through Tooting. Other time we had clrar CCTV image of face, but not interested.
This of course goes far beyond “mere” theft of bicycles.
A couple of years ago, my Australian niece, in her early twenties and —at the time— living for a couple of years in London, decided to start cycling from her London flat (West Kensington) to her office (West End). A brave and perhaps unwise decision. All went well until, one fine summer day, a car hit her not very far from her home, at a busy intersection. A place where there are shops, cafes and, therefore, cctv. She was knocked off her bike, and left in the road. The driver sped off. Thankfully, she had no serious injuries; bruises and cuts, mainly.
My niece did report the incident (it may be that passers-by did too, at the time). The police did nothing, absolutely nothing, despite the fact that this was a hit and run vehicle crime which could well have been more serious, even a fatality. They did not even collect cctv, despite the time of the “accident” (crime) being known to within a few minutes. Useless.
Another crime: I know that I have blogged about this previously, but my regular readers will please grant me this indulgence.
A couple of years ago, in early 2023, a wheel was stolen from my car. Local people were able to provide me with some good leads as to the likely thief or his connections. I passed that information on to the police online and via telephone (they did not turn up at all in person, despite likely DNA evidence or fingerprints left on a jack). Nothing happened. No action, no investigation. Useless people.
Imagine my surprise, then (and as I later discovered), that the uniformed constable (from Hampshire Constabulary) who was in everyday charge of the relevant “neighbourhood crime team”, turned out to be the very same policeman who, together with a female colleague, had turned up, at my now very humble home, and on my birthday, in 2021, some 18 months previously, having been asked to do so by Gloucestershire Police at the behest of one Stephen Silverman, the self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the fanatical pro-Israel Jewish pressure-group called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.
Silverman’s malicious, and completely false, complaint to the police against me (on the ground of “racial harassment”) is detailed here:
Well, nothing came of that attempted perversion of the course of justice by Silverman, but he has never been charged (((why?))). Au contraire— the tiny but well-funded “CAA” cabal simply persuaded (via direct political pressure and interference) the Wessex Crown —or Clown— Prosecution Service (Wessex CPS) to prosecute me on a completely different legal basis, and in respect of (small parts of) 5 blog posts, out of the, at the time, well over 1,500 blog posts published from late 2016 to early 2023.
My free speech trial in late 2023, my sentencing hearing in March 2024, and the aftermath of the trial and sentencing are detailed here:
The same policeman already noted above in today’s blog and in those other days’ blogs, turned up at every hearing of my “case”— first appearance in June or July 2023, a later “case management” appearance when the trial was deferred, the one-day trial, the sentencing hearing (and another hearing prior to sentence when the “Clown” Prosecutor made a doomed attempt to give my “case” a “hate crime” uplift). Four or maybe even five hearings; every time, that policeman was there, sitting in the waiting area and at the back of the court (he did give evidence, briefly, at the trial, and was equally-briefly cross-examined by me).
So that policeman spent 5 days on attending court, related to my quite pointless trial, as well as (with other “guardians of law and order”) a number of days cobbling together the huge amount of material required by the Clown Prosecution Service. Also, parts of other days in 2021, wasted on Silverman’s completely false and malicious allegation that he was “racially harassed” by me (I did not know his address, or his telephone number or email, and had never once spoken to him, or even seen him, still less confronted him).
Days which that policeman and his colleagues might have used more productively, dealing with real crime and/or investigating Silverman’s 2021 attempt to pervert the course of justice.
Incidentally, Silverman, despite now living in Gloucestershire (prior to that, in Essex), made the fairly long journey to Southampton Magistrates’ Court both for my trial and for the sentencing hearing, though he slunk out on the latter occasion once he realized that the sentence (a 9-month “community order” and £734 costs etc) was not going to be as severe as he and his horrible little “CAA” cabal had hoped.
I should add that, on one of the preliminary days in court, in summer 2023, a different “CAA” creature turned up to snoop, a kind of bearded and very long-haired near-dwarf, like something out of Lord of the Rings.
Well, there it is. The police politicized, suborned (along with the Clown Prosecution Service) and apparently incapable of doing their proper job, while behaving as a so-far relatively velvet-glove and poundshop Stasi.

🔴Bogie Yaalon — ex-Likud, ex defense minister, ex-Netanyahu ally turned firebrand critic— says that ethnic cleansing is taking place now in Gaza. Says (correctly) that government is carrying out extremist policy opposed by large majority of public. https://t.co/CbwngQAWpg
Even many of the hard-core Zionist Jews seem to be opposed to the ethnic cleansing Israel is continuing to carry out in Gaza.
Some of those who are most in favour of the ethnic cleansing and/or genocidal policies of the Netanyahu government seem to be, looking at Twitter/X, Jews living in the UK. They will be the very same Jews who are constantly trying to destroy free speech in this country, as seen in, inter alia, my own free speech trial (trials, if you include the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal which wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred me at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby in late 2016: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/).

Anyway, what Goodwin is omitting to add is that the importation of non-Europeans into the UK and the rest of Europe is a planned and evil strategy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.
Starmer has no more intention of stopping the migration-invasion than did Sunak, Johnson, or the others.
The Home Office has been concealing that kind of data for not only years but for decades. I blogged, several years ago, about the experience I had when a superannuated “first six” [months] Bar pupil (trainee) in early 1992, and when my “pupilmaster” (supervisor, mentor, lager-buyer…) had a trial involving Arab Gypsies originally from North Africa, of whom the Home Office were aware, and who (a clan of about 5,000 in and by London) lived (and no doubt still live) from thieving, begging, and by accessing the social security system. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/08/03/first-steal-a-chicken/.
That other person, talking to Goodwin, talks about Starmer’s “loveless majority“. It may have a Commons majority, by reason of the ludicrously unfair and illogical voting system in the UK, but it has and had no popular vote majority, and its plurality of votes, in percentage terms, is one of the lowest ever— 33.7%, only just a third of those who voted; 4 out of every 12. Over 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote. Only 4 in every 20 people eligible to vote voted for Labour and Starmer.
Labour are no longer the party of the working class people from the industrial towns of the UK. They are now the party of the woke dinner party set.
Both main System parties are hanging on only because of a voting system that is basically binary. Tweedledum/Tweedledee. Despite that, they are both going down. Reform UK may be a poor alternative, but is a straw at which many will clutch between now and 2029.
