“CASE UPDATE: the Court has approved a costs order in my case. The court has awarded me 90% of my costs of c£140k. I am grateful to the Defendants for agreeing undertakings. The question now is whether the Defendants’ former solicitor Mark Lewis (@MLewisLawyer) helps the Defendants. If the messages between the Defendants are right, it seems Lewis advised that my claim “would be dismissed swiftly” and my strategy was “laughable”. If that was the advice, it was extremely poor and very costly. My view is that Lewis should do the decent thing and help pay my costs.“

[James Wilson]

Ha ha! Lewis “doing the right thing“? Very unlikely… I expect that the surviving defendants, Cantor and Mendelsohn, will eventually have to take action against Lewis (and the small law firm with which he is associated in London) in professional negligence or otherwise. The matter may also result, eventually, in Lewis appearing (again) before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal. We shall see.

As I remarked in earlier blog posts around this matter, James Wilson strikes me as being far too “nice” to that (((pack))).

Incidentally, it has been repeatedly stated, from the Bench, in English courts that “antisemitism”, as such, is not a crime in England (neither, by the way, is so-called “holocaust” “denial”, meaning historical revision or revisionism).

The same msm “lack of interest” was around when, for example, Lewis was found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal about 6 years ago. There was a cloak of silence in the mass media about Lewis even having been prosecuted in the matter, and that continued after he was found guilty. The “usual” (((influence))) in the “British” Press, of course.

Only alternative media outlets or small professional legal magazines carry such reports, usually: see, e.g., https://skwawkbox.org/2023/08/02/pro-israel-lawyer-lewis-heavily-criticised-by-judge-for-conduct-of-case/.

“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. He responded to the judgment by accusing the SRA that:

faced with a choice between Holocaust denying neo-Nazis and a Jewish lawyer… It chose to side with the neo-Nazis.”

[Skwawkbox]

That was about yet another matter in which the often (and laughably-) described “top libel lawyer” behaved in an egregiously unprofessional matter.

The “Dr. Pete Newbon” mentioned in that piece was the third defendant in James Wilson’s case against the Jews Mendelsohn and Cantor. Newbon, a persistent and vicious social media troll, who had been disciplined by his employing university a number of times for his online and offline behaviour, committed suicide during the James Wilson legal case, having apparently deceived his, Newbon’s, wife about the fact that he was being sued, and about the reasons for that.

The funny thing is that, for years, the “British” mass media were quite content to puff Lewis (ludicrously inaccurately) as a so-called “top lawyer“, but I saw nothing in the mainstream Press about how, after having been found guilty in the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, Lewis’s own Counsel begged for mercy for him in terms of the fine to be imposed, because, he said, Lewis had no assets at all except for his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter!

Even Lewis’s own specially-adapted car (driven by him until he had an accident in early 2018, caused by his physical and mental incapacity) had been supplied free of charge to him by the DWP, via the Motability scheme.

“Top lawyer“… My view has always been that Lewis is just a self-promoting chancer.

Wilson being “too nice” again. Those two Jews (the defendants) were only too happy to look forward to Wilson losing his family home if he lost the case. He did not lose his case. Now they cringe and cry and “apologise”, because they are, to put it in the language of the New Testament, “in the same condemnation“. It’s all so (((typical))).

Incidentally, I think that Mr. Justice Nicklin also was “too nice”, in saying that he was sure that Lewis had not intended to mislead the court in that 2023 High Court ex parte injunction application.

Having said that, the learned High Court judge did (though in other, and far more diplomatic, words) characterize Lewis as (in my words) a lazy, negligent bastard.

Lewis’s negligence is simply risible. God help anyone silly enough to retain or instruct him as solicitor.

My blog posts about Lewis from years ago (but updated) can be found here: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/; that post contains several links to other posts about the horrible bastard.

As to James Wilson’s matter, I have already blogged about it this year: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/04/21/diary-blog-21-april-2024-with-more-about-the-legal-case-wilson-v-mendelsohn-newbon-and-cantor/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/04/20/diary-blog-20-april-2024/.

More can be found using the search box on the blog.

In Wilson’s case, a number of Jews gave purported “evidence” for the defence, which testimony however the judge dismissed in polite but firm terms. They are all named and shamed on one of my previous blog posts.

One of that pack was the vituperative Jew-Zionist barrister and (until he was kicked off the Bench very recently) Recorder (p/t judge) Simon Myerson. His testimony was, to put it politely, given little weight by the learned judge.

Indeed, Myerson now seems again to be in trouble. He now not being on the Bench, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office is not involved (this time— last time, he was given “words of advice”, i.e. mildly admonished); the Bar Standards Board, though, now seems, belatedly, to be taking an interest:

I shall watch any further developments with interest.

Twitter-twits have responded angrily, blaming Isabel Oakeshott or her personal partner, Tice, of Reform UK, or Farage, for the gradual descent of Britain into the swamp. A woman journalist, and two fairly minor politicians…

No, the major cause is the half century and more of mass immigration, which over the past 25 years has become a full migration invasion. Millions of mostly quite, or very, backward non-Europeans. That, and the decline of real culture and society in the UK. I know where I place the blame for most of that (the bit not caused by migration-invasion)… The “you-know-who” element.

Ha ha. I rather like Isabel Oakeshott. She has spirit.

Ha. I like that, too. See also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/06/16/__trashed/.

Former “chocolate soldier” Tom Tugendhat replies to a question about the (latest round of) Israeli slaughter in Gaza, but without (on the video clip at least) mentioning that he is both part-Jew himself and a member of Conservative Friends of Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat#Personal_life.

Goodwin is right, but he fails to note that the primary group (or cabal, if you like) trying to repress freedom of expression in UK universities and elsewhere, including online, is the Jew-Zionist element, most egregiously seen, arguably, in the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

Patriotic Alternative

I happened to see the following statement put out by Patriotic Alternative, which I partly republish out of a spirit of comity, and despite not being a member of PA:

“This week we received the SHOCKING news that Sam Melia had been DENIED early release by the prison service! At a time when prisons are overflowing and the judiciary are routinely handing out suspended sentences to convicted sex offenders – Sam Melia, a man who published LAWFUL stickers, has been denied early release!

This is the latest in a string of miscarriages of justice aimed at breaking the spirit of Sam and his family. At this point, only one conclusion can be drawn: this is politically motivated persecution which is aimed at Sam due to his system of philosophical beliefs – a protected characteristic under European Human Rights legislation!“

[Patriotic Alternative]

It will be recalled that Sam Melia was imprisoned for a notional 2 years in March of this year, meaning that he could expect release around 1 March 2025. However, earlier release, which has been granted to all sorts of hooligans and thieves etc by reason of prison overcrowding, has been denied to Melia.

Very unjust, bearing in mind the essentially trivial “crime” for which he was imprisoned; also, he has a wife and two small children (one only born this year and since Melia’s incarceration).

A crowdfunder set up for Melia, his wife (Laura Towler) and children now stands at over £67,000: https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.

[Lincoln’s Inn, under the Chapel]

London. Zoo.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

Jungle.

We know what needs to be done about this sort of thing, but are now “not allowed” to express it, in our wonderfully “liberal” “diverse” country…

Keir Starmer. Freemason. Puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.

“Difficult questions of our time”— “why [greedy freeloading bastard] Lammy took £100,000 from the Israel lobby“…

Ha.

Thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy as Foreign Secretary just confirms how deep in the mire the UK really is.

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is. In fact, the Jew Zelensky is presently ruling illegally, having decided to ignore the fact that his presidential term expired some time ago (and he now refuses to hold an election).

Talking point

“The world is not without kind people“ [Russian proverb]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13658549/pictured-family-killed-horror-crash-six-dead-west-yorkshire.html

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

[Incidentally, it occurs to me that the orphaned girl will probably, presumably, eventually, be the beneficiary of any car insurance payout as well].

“…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’. We are simply trapped.“

[from https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/anonymous-zoomer-i-was-indoctrinated].

Perfect recruits for a social-national upsurge in the near-future…

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

Exclusive: pro-Israel judge ‘no longer holds office’ after sanction for social media abuse

“It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

“Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

More Israeli crimes:

Late tweets

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

“I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.“

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

“Ukraine will not be able to win the conflict with Russia…Ukraine will not defeat Russia, and Poland will not be able to resist Russian forces in the event of a conflict. I doubt that NATO will come to the aid of its allies ,” believes Leon Komornicki, former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces.“

The United States, like the UK, has experienced since the 1980s a decline in the quality of its politicians which is still continuing.

https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/why-kamala-harris-would-be-a-disaster

“…In fact, I’d go even further by stating the obvious. Kamala Harris, in reality, is only Vice President of the United States because she happens to tick the relevant identity boxes that according to the modern left need to be ticked. Woman? Tick. African American? Tick. She has basically benefitted from a system that is now hard-wired to promote certain identity groups over others, based on little more than these boxes.”

[Matt Goodwin]

…and the UK is going much the same way.

I am thinking that Kamala Harris will be replaced by another candidate. If so, it will have to happen soon.

Either way, I should imagine that Trump is likely to win now, though you never know.

cf. Twitter/X…

It seems most likely that some early parts of the Diary are authentic, but that most of it was written by some other person, almost certainly the girl’s father, and much later.

Not so much “New Labour New Danger” as a rehash of the “Conservative” fake “austerity” agenda.

The new Starmer-Labour government is already a total failure and fraud, only 2-3 weeks since its equally-fake “landslide” (only 33.7% even of those who voted).

As noted before on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters, only 4 voted Labour (3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. 8 did not vote).

Wait until they find out about the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic.

The “unwanted truth”. The Twitter-twits and similar people will close their ears. They want to believe that mass immigration has nothing at all to do with the housing crisis, or low pay, restricted State benefits, crowded schools, hospitals, trains etc, even water shortages.

They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.

As Hitler said of the people of the Weimar Republic, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.

Ha. I examined the whole Bitcoin/fiat money situation 7 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/12/10/thoughts-about-bitcoin/.

“Terrible news for Ukraine” – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of “America First,” writes The Guardian.

This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. “It’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,” said one senior European diplomat in Washington. “Vance is not our ally.”

Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.“

Wandering…

“Last week I made the decision to cancel my Conservative Party membership after nearly a decade. The party has failed to set out a positive vision on housing, the environment and investment, as well as a pragmatic stance on Brexit. It has also drifted from the values of inclusivity and aspiration which drew me to the party under Lord Cameron. This isn’t me leaving the Conservative party, it’s the Conservative party that has left me. Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

Once again, I refer readers to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov, namely that the “filing clerk” type should never be given power. That’s Starmer, in essence, a would-be dictator but in the guise of a careful, over-controlled lawyer.

Trump

Trump looking presidential, in a way that he rarely did even when he was President before.

If he can survive the campaign and get re-elected, his personal history, and his personal flaws, can take a back seat. He can stop funding Zelensky and the whole Kiev regime. That can be his first task.

Trump may be in a position, if or when re-elected, to call a halt to the rush to world war. That is the issue of primary importance.

From the newspapers

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24453094.warrant-issued-barge-asylum-seeker-bit-police-officer/

“An arrest warrant has been issued for an asylum seeker who tried to bring cannabis onto the Bibby Stockholm barge and then bit a police officer when he was being arrested.

Kenson Noel, aged 29, pleaded guilty at Weymouth Magistrates Court on June 7 to possession of a class B drug and assault by beating of Portland Port Police officer Christopher Grant.

The charges relate to an incident on May 16, 2024.

He was due to be sentenced today at Poole Magistrates Court but did not appear.

This triggered a warrant for his arrest to be issued by the court.

The court previously heard that Noel, whose address was given as a hotel in Bournemouth, is an asylum seeker who fled Trinidad and Tobago after being threatened by gangs.“

Can you even believe the way this country is run?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13637003/Fighting-Irish-immigration-Protesters-hurl-missiles-riot-police-Dublin-factory-asylum-seekers.html

“Protesters hurled bricks and fireworks at riot police near a Dublin factory set to house asylum seekers today, with officers spraying activists with pepper spray.

Gardai clashed with hundreds of people gathered at the former Crown Paints factory in Coolock as fighting exploded throughout the day.“

[Daily Mail]

People on both sides of the Irish Sea are getting very angry, and that can only continue and intensify as more millions of migrant-invaders arrive in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 etc.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13635989/lost-alphabet-Biblical-Canaanites-jordan.html

“Archaeologists have finally traced a lost alphabet that puzzled scholars for decades back to a 3,000 year-old civilization of Biblical significance. 

Since 1964, archaeologists have found 15 different tablets with strange carvings at the site of an ancient settlement in Jordan.

Thanks to new analysis, archaeologists have found that they were likely made by the Canaanites, an indigenous group who thrived in the Middle East until the second half of the 13th century BC. 

The Canaanites resided in ‘the Promised Land’ from 3500BC until 1200BC before they were conquered by Israeli tribes following their Exodus from Egypt.

The Canaanites are mentioned several times in the old testament, including the books of Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Joshua.“

“Federal Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump in a bombshell ruling less than 48 hours after the former president was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump was accused of taking highly sensitive national security documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House, and FBI agents seized a trove of material during a search of his Florida home in August 2022.

Judge Cannon threw the case out based on ‘violations’ of the Constitution’s Appointments and Appropriations clauses.

In her ruling, she found that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.

The decision has an enormous impact on Trump’s legal battles, and he now faces just two criminal trials in Georgia and the federal court in Washington D.C. 

A year ago, Trump’s classified documents case appeared to be his most serious legal threat: perhaps easier to prove than Trump’s January 6 case, which relied on public statements, tweets and complex schemes involving electors around the country to charge a complex conspiracy to overturn the election.“

“Fuck it. I’m just gonna come out and say it. After a lot of thought, I am now 100% behind Donald Trump for President. Let me explain my reasoning…

Trump fell short in many ways in his first term. He was weaker than he should have been on the border. He appointed people to his cabinet that frankly stained his image and sunk his reputation. He let us down with the vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. But it’s about more than Donald Trump. It’s always been about more than Trump.

He has awakened the sleeping giant in America and across the world. People have hit breaking point. And they are sick to the back teeth of the status quo. For all my reservations, I do believe at heart his intentions are mostly good. Compare and contrast him to a demented old man who doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast.

What happened on Saturday night pushed me over the edge. They have tried everything to stop this man. Impeachment, election rigging, lawfare and now an attempted assassination in broad daylight. It’s not about trying to stop Trump. It’s about trying to stop a populist uprising.

In these times we can’t be picky. Trump isn’t going to fix all our problems. Trump isn’t going to save the world. We are living through a time of pure evil, the likes of which only God can protect us from. But we have to rebuild, we have to reorganise. We all have differences of opinion on various issues but ultimately we all see the evil in this world and we all want to make a change. And I believe the best start to that work is to get behind Donald Trump and use our influence to push for the change we want to see.”

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The “Great Replacement”…

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints]

…and virtually all the children now being born in the UK, and particularly in England, are non-white (including mixed-race). Demographic disaster.

Let’s bin all “diversity hires”, starting with David Lammy, presently and ludicrously posing as Foreign Secretary.

Ha ha…yes, but the joke is on us…

The System promotes idiots like that, making sure that they can wave a few bits of paper (tick-box degrees, diplomas etc) if challenged, as a way of accelerating the destruction of European civilization.

Even the System msm cannot ignore the migration invasion completely, because the public has started to awaken and, indeed, become fearful of what is happening, and what might and probably will happen not so far down the road.

The Twitter-twits, and the System politicians, have been laughing at the Reform UK result at GE 2024 (“only 5 MPs” etc), but the underlying reality is that, out of nearly 29M actual votes, Reform UK got over 4.1M, the Conservative Party only 6.8M, and victorious Labour 9.8M.

Labour received under 10M votes, and has 411 MPs, despite only getting about (indeed, less than) two-and-a-half times the number of votes cast for Reform UK, fobbed off with merely 5 MPs.

As noted in previous blog posts, for every 20 people who were eligible to vote at GE 2024, a plurality, 8 people, did not bother to vote, probably because they were disenchanted with the whole set-up.

Out of that group of 20 people, only 4 actually voted Labour.

Another 3 out of the 20 voted Conservative; 2 voted Reform UK. 2 also voted LibDem (which however received only 3.5M votes as against Reform’s 4.1M). (Almost) 1 notional voter out of the 20 voted Green, which party received 1.8M votes.

The point is that Reform UK is, at least in part, “controlled opposition” but, notwithstanding that, over 4 million people decided to register their anger by voting for it. Another 19.6 million did not vote.

It is possible that, were a credible social-national movement to exist, a substantial part of the 19.6M non-voting bloc, as well as a large part of Reform UK’s 4.1M bloc, might vote for, or otherwise support it.

Remember, out of every 20 adult people in the UK, only 4 voted for Starmer-Labour.

Starmer-Labour has no real mandate from the people.

All you really need to know about the real view taken by both Starmer-Labour and the now-binned Sunak misgovernment is that virtually all government ministers (of either main System party) were and are signed up, in reality, to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Talking point

Happened to see part of one of those fly-on-the-wall cop shows, called Police Interceptors. The bit I saw concerned a raid on a house where a man was thought to be trading in drugs.

The police arrived in force, were ready to bust open the front door but found it unlocked, so went in and took control of the property. The man named on the warrant was not at home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever was, along with her small and terrified children.

In the kitchen, the police found large bags stuffed with herbal cannabis, apparently harvested from the marijuana farm in the attic, which the police also found. They also found little plastic bags used for retail sales of the drug.

The woman was arrested only because the wanted man refused to give himself up, but was in touch with the woman by telephone, under police guard, and was apparently nearby. He gave himself up a few days later.

What interested me was that I should have thought that there was ample evidence to prosecute them both for “possession with intent to supply”, but in the end the woman was released (I was distracted so missed the exact outcome, I think an official caution), and her husband/boyfriend/co-habitee was apparently not charged with anything!

A big raid, the police all dressed up in the paramilitary style to which they have become accustomed, warrants obtained, searches made, drugs found, arrests made and, in the end…nothing.

The police and CPS need to start dealing with (real) crime, rather than snooping on tweets and blog posts and generally behaving like a poundland Stasi.

This country is now pretty close to running on empty.

Arguable. Open question (as to whether the attempt to kill Trump went beyond the 20-y-o sniper).

There do seem to be questions to be asked, and which are being asked.

Strange. I would not have thought so, looking at him, but there it is, for what it may be worth.

The Jerusalem Post does not address that, either way: https://www.jpost.com/international/article-810259

Neither have other Jewish and/or Israeli news outlets: https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/07/14/more-details-emerge-on-trump-shooters-background/; https://www.jns.org/thomas-matthew-crooks-20-idd-as-trump-shooter/.

The Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/14/trump-rally-shooting-fbi-names-20-year-old-from-bethel-park-as-subject-involved

“Demands for answers were mounting on Sunday as to how an armed man was able to get into position on a roof overlooking a rally and fire shots at Donald Trump – the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee – despite federal and local law enforcement presence and witnesses reportedly alerting police.

Trump was bleeding from his right ear and later described a bullet whizzing by while he was speaking at the rally. An attendee was killed and Secret Service agents then shot dead the suspect, with eyewitness reports that someone outside the rally had told police they’d seen the armed suspect heading to the roof but it appeared that officers did not respond.

“How was it that someone could get [in position] on a roof … with a weapon and try to assassinate [Trump]?” Turner told CNN’s State of the Union show on Sunday morning, adding: “The fact that people knew there was a man with a rifle and were trying to get the police’s attention is a cause for concern.”

[The Guardian]

“What we also know is that this shocking event is about much more than the shooter and the bullet. The race for the White House, which in recent weeks has seen Donald Trump pull comfortably ahead in the polls, was already turning deadly. On a private phone call with donors last week, Joe Biden reportedly said, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”. Only two weeks ago he described Trump as “a genuine threat to this nation”. And these were only the latest in a long series of quasi-violent threats that came from the ‘liberal’ left of American politics, not the right.

There was Robert de Niro saying he’d like to punch Trump “in the face”. There was comedienne Kathy Griffin who posed with a graphic model of Trump’s severed head. There was Mickey Rourke who said he’d hit Trump with a “left hook from hell”. On and on it goes. Anthony Bourdain, Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, Pearl Jam, Madonna, Johnny Depp, Rosie O’Donnell. These are just some of the many left-leaning celebrities who have threatened or wished violence upon Trump.“

The two female U.S. Secret Service bodyguards look useless. Out of place.

The real UK population is already somewhere between 65M and 70M. Wake up.

It is bad enough when families like that get caught up in a “normal” war, but what we see in Gaza is a relentless and largely one-sided attack by one side (which alone has planes, real missiles, tanks, all sorts of advanced weaponry etc) upon an almost defenceless population. A kind of savage bullying of a civilian population by a heartless and ideologically-harsh tribe.

As for thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy, were he not (for his own benefit) willing to say more or less what the UK Israel lobby wants him to say, he would not be in the (Labour Friends of Israel) Starmer-Labour government, let alone Cabinet.

The last tweet there by tweeter “@alexphaea” is typical of kneejerk Labourites, i.e. “all that matters is having a Labour-label government, even if it is almost indistinguishable in policy terms (or results) from a Conservative-label one“…

“One of the latest statements by Senator J.D. Vance, who today became a candidate for US Vice President in conjunction with Donald Trump, about the conflict in Ukraine :

“In particular, on the issue of Ukraine, everyone with a brain knows that this will end in negotiations… Ukraine is functionally destroyed as a country… […] Our policy towards Ukraine is unsustainable. The average age of a soldier in their army is 43 years old – No one older than me can articulate what $61 billion can achieve, so we need to seek a negotiated end to the war.“

If Trump can get re-elected, and take away Zelensky’s ricebowl in all senses, the war can finish, either by negotiation in a few months, or via Russian victory east of the Dnieper in a few weeks.

Sadly, though, all mainstream American politicians are poisoned, at an early stage in their careers, by the Israel lobby:

Still, politics is the art of the possible. There are no social national candidates of any weight standing in those American elections.

Late thought

England in 2024, a “nation” which pretends to be in mourning because the “England” football team, most of whom are not really English anyway, fail to win a football competition somewhere or other.

England in 2024, a “nation” consisting of people more interested in that football result than in the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders every single year are invading this country.

After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.

This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.

Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.

Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?

Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.

Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

Quelle surprise…

As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.

How is it that a Zionist Jew such as Aaronovitch can post that, and nothing happens, but a comment or cartoon about Jewish behaviour, allegedly posted by an English blogger, causes the suborned UK police and/or CPS to go mad?

Oh…

I refer readers to the posts re. my free speech trial of 2023.

Quite.

Of course, both Biden and Trump kow-tow to the Israel lobby, but at least Trump would or will avoid war with Russia and, I hope, take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/the-realignment-is-over-10-key-messages

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.

Farage

I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

Saturday quiz

Well, 7/10 this week, thus beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, and 10, though I was at least in the right area re. question 7.

That idea, that the online pseudo-political “grifters” (“Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly”, Julia Grace Patterson etc) will have to nuance their begging appeals now that the hated “Tories” have switched places with the supposedly better but actually quite similar (in policy terms) Starmer-Labour, had occurred to me.

I doubt that the online fraudsters need to worry too much, though. Their target audience is almost begging to be cheated, and will accept as true almost any variation in the “facts” put forward. You only have to look at the lies of “Jack Monroe” over the years. Stunningly unbelievable. Like something from a book of fairy stories. Yet the “useful idiots” believe…and continue to send money to her.

There is a belief around that “mainstream” political parties must aim to be in the non-existent or notional “centre”.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I effectively never use the descriptors “right”, “left”, “centre” etc in that way.

What matters is policy, and what matters to the people is the overall effect of policy on their lives. The Conservative Party failed the people in terms of how their confused policy offering actually affected or changed, or failed to change, the lives and lifestyles of the people. Labour is about to follow suit, in my opinion.

A frequently-encountered problem in our society of pervasive b******t…

…said well-known political journalist John Rentoul in...2014. Oh…

Sunak is already forgotten. It is as if the little Indian money-juggler departed the stage (pursued by a bear?) years ago, rather than nine days ago.

Talking point

Not that Churchill himself wanted to finish off the British Empire. He wanted, in an ideal world, to destroy National Socialist Germany and, at the same time, the Soviet Union.

Churchill’s strategic ineptitude (seen in numerous examples throughout his career) led not only to the destruction of the German Reich, followed by the division of mainland Europe into a Stalinist sector in the East, and a basically American, or notionally Anglo-American, sector in the West, but also to the destruction of all the European empires, and thus their generally civilizing influence over Asia, Africa (including North Africa) etc

The same basic division in Europe (though into 4 national sectors) was carried out in much of Germany and Austria for several years after WW2, with the capital cities (Berlin and Vienna) likewise divided.

Vienna was divided until 1955, Berlin until 1989, and France was, as a notional Western ally, given one sector despite having been defeated in 1940, partly occupied the same year, and fully-occupied in November 1942 (and having not participated in the defeat of the German Reich).

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

The end of WW2 led directly to the collapse of European rule across the world. The colonies of Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands etc were decolonized, some almost immediately, some much later. Thus began the environmental degradation and loss of wildlife across Asia, Africa, the Pacific etc, which situation continues even today, as do the wars, civil wars, corruptions and tyrannies of the formerly colonial territories.

Churchill, an educated and erudite man who was also completely wrong in his political judgment(s) was, so to speak, “the wrong man at the wrong time”, though the accepted System/msm narrative says the opposite, of course.

As for Britain itself after WW2, I recommend the books of the very underrated Correlli Barnett: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett#Writings

As Barnett points out in one or two of those books, after WW2 Britain would have been able to do one of three things well, possibly even two of those things: maintain its status as a great power; regenerate its economy; create a Welfare State. Britain tried to accomplish all three, but was unable to do so satisfactorily. Britain had been beggared by its war against the German Reich.

These three aims or tasks (or problems) are still with us, in some or another form, today.

Britain today is the “also ran” in respect of its military power, its society (Welfare State, NHS, State education etc), and economy.

As far as Barnett is concerned, I should say that he was right far more often than he was wrong.

Incidentally, Barnett was probably denied a knighthood, a life peerage, and other official honours (he did get a CBE) by reason of his having spoken, or strongly implied, the unsayable— that Britain should never have declared war on the German Reich or, having declared war in September 1939, should have concluded an armistice sometime after Dunkirk, in mid to late 1940, before too much hurt and damage had been done in western and central Europe.

Reform UK

Reform UK’s vote suffers from being wide, indeed nationwide (though not so strong in Scotland), but shallow. 14.29% across the board could easily have meant zero seats anywhere, rather than the 5 Reform actually captured.

The LibDem vote, only 12.22% nationally, was nonetheless concentrated here and there. Result— 72 MPs.

Reform UK, to me, seems to be in a fairly good position to concentrate some of its overall support in certain parts of the country, and certain constituencies, just like the LibDems. For Reform, that would be, primarily or firstly, in the East of England and the East Midlands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#By_nation_and_region.

In the East of England, Reform UK scored 17.5% of the vote; in the East Midlands, 18.9%.

Indeed, though Reform won no GE 2024 seats in the West Midlands or North-East England, its vote was still high— 18.1% in the former, and 19.9% in the latter (less than half a point behind the Conservative Party). Reform was also not very far behind the Conservative Party in the West Midlands.

Reform UK came second in 98 constituencies, of which 89 were won or held by Labour.

It is not impossible to surmise that, if the Conservative Party vote were to collapse further in those 98 seats, Reform UK might capture some, many, or even all of them.

That would be even more likely, arguende, if Starmer-Labour in government disappoints the mass of the people, as I believe it will.

I am glad that I am not alone in having noticed the sickening sycophancy of the “occupied” UK msm towards Starmer-Labour (though would anyway be unconcerned were I the only one).

Today, on Sky News, I caught literally seconds of the end of a piece by some sports journalist woman. Her take was that, with “England” in the final game of some football contest, and a new Labour (New Labour?) government in power, it feels (she claimed) like the dawning of a new era. I believe that was the brainless and derivative way in which she put it.

Of course, Starmer-Labour will probably be in power until 2029, so the msm drones naturally want to curry favour, but I think that the said sycophancy goes beyond even that. I think that many in the msm seriously believe that Starmer-Labour is wonderful and will bring about some minor “golden age”.

I see no real connected thinking in the msm about what happens when the UK is importing literally a million invaders every single year, about what happens when a Labour government is harder on workers, the unemployed, the sick, the disabled than has been the past 14 years of “Conservative” government (etc).

What happens when the lights go out? What happens when lawlessness finally overwhelms a fairly civilized court and legal system which evolved over long periods but which is now already swamped?

Also, with a deadhead like Lammy as Foreign Secretary, what happens to Britain’s already-tattered international standing?

What interests me is what will be happening 2025-2029 under the surface of the Labour Party pseudo-landslide Commons majority.

Who can forget Ed Miliband at Copenhagen in 2005, bleating outside the UN conference (so badly-organized that he was not allowed in at first) about the fake “3/5/7/whatever years to save the world” narrative? I also recall that little monkey, who was the President of the Maldives, jumping up and down and clapping once he realized that his country might receive millions in “climate aid” in case the Maldives sank below the waves (nearly 20 years later, though, it is still there).

At present, the forecast for Winchester on St. Swithun’s Day (next Monday) is…wet.

Enemies of the British people.

What an incredible waste of the British people’s tax monies, thrown at the brutal and shambolic regime of the Jewish dictator Zelensky. Meanwhile Britain’s public services are collapsing.

Fake Labour is already a failure as a government.

“Ultimately, this means that defending our truth-based order, free speech and national identity is considered undignified while sacrificing these values in the name of ‘equal outcomes’ and ‘emotional safety’ is not.

Of course, Labour is also proposing innocent-sounding legislation on hate speech and racial equality which will further supercharge this woke cultural socialism, shutting down offensive speech while pressuring organizations to discriminate against whites and males to achieve equal outcomes for identity groups.

Will Britain wake up in time to prevent…erosion of our long traditions of free speech, free expression, objective truth, equal treatment and due process? Will future generations be taught to hate the British past and the white men who played an outsized role in creating our national community?

At best, I think we have one or two decades to reverse the march of wokeism before today’s Zoomers and Millennials, who prioritise ‘emotional safety’ over free speech, become the median voter and the country reaches a point of no return.”

[from a guest essay, published on Matt Goodwin’s blog].

There are of course other ways to resist tyranny than via the so-called “Parliamentary road”.

It will be recalled by older British readers that, in the Dikko case of 1984, an Israeli Jew doctor was directly involved in the MOSSAD operation to kidnap a former Nigerian government minister:

“The Dikko affair was a joint Nigerian–Israeli attempt to kidnap Umaru Dikko, a former Nigerian government minister living in the United Kingdom, in 1984, and secretly transport him back to Nigeria in a diplomatic bag. The kidnapping took place, but the transportation thereof was unsuccessful.

Mossad sources across Europe failed to locate Dikko. However, Mossad Director-General Nahum Admoni decided that Dikko was probably in London, which had become a haven for Nigerian exiles critical of the new regime.

Mossad field officers (katsas), accompanied by Nigerian security service agents led by ex-Nigerian Army Major Mohammed Yusufu, traveled to London. The Nigerian team rented an apartment on Cromwell Road and posed as refugees from the new regime. The Mossad agents rented rooms in hotels catering to tourists from Africa, and posed as anti-apartheid activists.

Working separately, the two teams moved among the Nigerian expat community in London, gradually narrowing their search to West London, to the area around Hyde Park, where many wealthy Nigerian exiles lived. They combed the electoral registers freely available in the area’s town halls, but found no trace of Dikko.

On 30 June 1984, a Mossad agent driving down Queensway, in Bayswater, spotted Dikko. He parked his car and then tailed Dikko on foot to his house in Porchester Terrace. Admoni was immediately informed, and ordered surveillance on the house. From then on, the house was constantly watched, while the Nigerians, using their London high commission as a base, prepared a kidnapping operation.

Meanwhile, Mossad recruited Levi-Arie Shapiro, an Israeli doctor who was a consultant anesthetist and director of the intensive care unit at HaSharon Hospital. He was to fly to London and participate in the operation. Shapiro’s job would be to drug Dikko, and insert an endotracheal tube to keep him from choking on his own vomit while being transported in a crate.”

Water supply is one of the few industries that must be publicly owned, i.e. owned by the State.

The “you know who” factor…

Worth reading in its entirety.

Bravo.

Jacqui Smith. Expenses cheat. Labour Friends of Israel. Anti-free speech.

Apparently, the unpleasant Alan Milburn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Milburn] is also being brought back into government by Starmer.

We can already see the road being taken by the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship. Cabinet members who are not even MPs (which has always happened, but not I think to this extent), and a likelihood of policies imposed with little or no consultation.

I covered the appalling Jess Phillips on yesterday’s blog, and have also done so in years past (see, for example, https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/07/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-jess-phillips-story/).

Even had all Reform UK voters in Yeovil voted Conservative instead of Reform, Fysh would still have been soundly beaten: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeovil_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

“A female Deliveroo rider who bit a customer’s thumb off in an argument over pizza has escaped jail.

[defendant]

Jeniffer Rocha caused Stephen Jenkinson a ‘permanent, irreversible injury’ while delivering him a Pizza Express order in a ‘reckless’ attack, a court heard.

Mr Jenkinson, 36, and Rocha, 35, had a brief argument over a delivery code before the Brazilian Deliveroo rider bit his thumb off.

Rocha, a married mother of two who was making deliveries on her moped as a replacement rider for her husband, admitted grievous bodily harm in March on the eve of her trial.

On Friday, at Salisbury Crown Court, Wilts, she walked free from court as she was handed a 16 month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, by a judge who accused her of ‘excessive self defence‘.”

“Poorly advised by Mark Lewis“? Surely not…(ha…).

Peter Hitchens is a confirmed political spectator, and has certain fixed views, one of which seems to be a huge over-valuation of the importance of voting every 4-5 years. He thinks that MPs are terrified of their voters voting them out. No, because they have incentives to vote according to other motivations, such as lobby money, outside “work” as “consultants”, party discipline (careerism), possibility of a paid “peerage” down the line etc.

Another Hitchens characteristic is that he is very fixated on the “two main parties” set-up which has dominated British politics (with LibDem and SNP distractions) since the Second World War and to a large extent since the First World War.

Hitchens seems to think that it was wrong for the public to turn to Reform UK, and that it would have been better to have had a Labour government with a much smaller majority.

I disagree. That would change nothing, and the UK needs to change (though not in the Starmer-Labour way). Hitchens seems to support a different kind of Conservative Party, if possible, but you cannot put new wine into old bottles.

Regular readers will know that I have little time for Farage, let alone Tice etc. They are not social-national. However, their Reform UK project has moved the “Overton Window”, and has started to break up the rigged political system that has been in place all of my life.

Hitchens is right in saying, as he does, that Reform UK is just Farage, but you could have said that about, say, on a higher and more significant political level, Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP.

As Rudolf Hess said, famously, at Nuremberg in 1934, “Die Partei ist Hitler, aber Hitler ist Deutschland wie Deutschland Hitler ist!” [see https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uajey at 1:43:00].

For me, Reform UK is but one means to an end, not the final destination.

I wrote an assessment of Hitchens some years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/19/peter-hitchens-and-his-views/.

Does Hitchens really imagine that Starmer-Labour is or will be worse than (or even very different from) the “Conservative” governments of the past 14 years?

Talking point

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

“In his 1991 book Geschichtsdenken im 20. Jahrhundert (Historical Thinking in the 20th Century), Nolte asserted that the 20th century had produced three “extraordinary states”, namely Germany, the Soviet Union, and Israel. He claimed that all three were “abnormal once”, but whereas the Soviet Union and Germany were now “normal” states, Israel was still “abnormal” and, in Nolte’s view, in danger of becoming a fascist state that might commit genocide against the Palestinians.”

Good grief. What a list! Only one or two are even European. Suella Braverman of Indian origins; James Cleverly of mixed African and English origins; Kemi Badenoch, Nigerian; Priti Patel, East African Indian origin; Tom Tugendhat, quarter-Jewish; Robert Jenrick, possibly fully-English (uncertain); Victoria Atkins.

So leaving aside the obviously non-Europeans, that leaves only Victoria Atkins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Atkins], Jenrick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick] and Tugendhat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat].

Speaking personally, if I were in any case a Conservative, I should find Jenrick unacceptable by reason of his seeming (?) corruption, his Jewish personal links (not just his wife, his social circle, which seems to consist largely of Jewish business sharks), and his poor judgment in office.

Tugendhat? Apart from his part-Jewish origins, he is very very keen on support for Israel and the Kiev regime. Also, I am always suspicious when someone, especially from a privileged background (his father was a High Court judge), has a large hole in his or her CV.

Tugendhat seems to have graduated in or about 1994, then spent a year (?) getting a Master’s degree in Islamic studies. After that, he spent a brief time as a journalist on an English-language newspaper in Beirut.

We next hear of Tugendhat about 6-7 years later, in 2003, when he is gazetted as a Territorial Army officer (after a month or two, joining the Intelligence Corps); as of 2013, Lt.-Colonel in the Int. Corps. He was also working, ostensibly for the Foreign Office and in a civilian capacity or role, in Iraq in 2005.

As MP and minister, Tugendhat has been associated with both “security” matters and allied matters of so-called “extremism”. He seems to be hostile to free speech, especially about Israel and the Jewish/Zionist lobby.

Well, one can draw one’s own conclusions.

Not much to say about Victoria Atkins. A barrister by training, and married to a multi-millionaire who is a director of numerous large companies, including British Sugar.

I cannot see any of the above appealing to the British voters.

The only Conservative Party MP for whom I would have any time at all would be David Davis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician)], who at least has proven that he has principle, respect for civil rights and, also, courage. He, however, is now 75, and may not want to lead that rabble anyway.

I am rarely sorry for System politicians.

Yes, that is the point. Despite the “arrangement” concluded by the System parties and the other anti-French parties, the RN hugely increased the number of RN deputies elected.
