Well, this week a clear victory over political journalist John Rentoul. Rentoul scored a very modest 2/10 as against my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 5, 6, and 8.
Epstein has gone up the chimney. May all such exploiters go the same way.

Even more about incompetent and dishonest solicitor “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, of Israel (and Patron Law, West London), and Beth Grossman, barrister (of Doughty Street Chambers, London)
Regular readers will be aware of the matter to which this refers. Anyone wanting more information can use the search box on the blog. Just type in “Mark Lewis”, “Beth Grossman”, “Patron Law”, “James Wilson” etc.
Miller & Power v Turner is another one of Lewis’ cases where Beth Grossman was involved AND there were serious concerns about non- and late-disclosure of crucial evidence that undermined her clients’ case.
At some stage, this stops being mere coincidence?@BKGrossman
Both sides of the legal profession run scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby, as I found when I was wrongfully and (it later turned out) unlawfully disbarred in 2016:
It is a misuse of the laws permitting proscription of supposedly “terrorist” organizations to label ordinary protesters “terrorist“. In fact, it makes a mockery of the whole thing.
This is what happens when (as with the present pathetic Labour Friends of Israel “government” of utter clowns), politicians act as puppets for the Jewish/Israel lobby.

Interesting. I knew that barrister and (sacked) part-time judge, Simon Myerson (of Leeds and Manchester) had been a witness in the case, and that the trial judge disbelieved his evidence (or discounted it as having been worthless) but had no idea that he was one of what looks now like a conspiratorial gaggle of Jews who apparently were “advising” the three losing defendants.
Just to be clear about what is frightening me.
Eddy Cantor’s former lawyers – Mark Lewis, Beth Grossman, Simon Myerson – are refusing to disclose the information I need to stop me enforcing a costs order against Eddy.
Newbon, of course, killed himself when he realized that his family home was on the line for having lost the libel case. He had concealed everything from his wife, too.
Eddy Cantor and I are trying to establish if Simon Myerson KC was instructed by Mark Lewis to advise Eddy.
You might think that’s a simple question.
But Lewis deceived Eddy about things. And now Myerson is giving nothing away, save for his determination not to answer? pic.twitter.com/LKttdWCq6q
…and that is why I am hoping that Reform do well in the next few years; because when they form a government, and it fails because (it will be) too pro-Jewish lobby, too pro-Israel, and not nearly radical or social-national enough, then a real social-national movement can arise and, the “Overton Window” having shifted, take the people with it.
🚨NEW🚨
Keir Starmer’s approval rating crashes to MINUS 41
Much of a muchness with other recent polls. Reform with 375-400 MPs and a large Commons majority, Labour with about 122 MPs, and the Con Party left utterly irrelevant with about 27 MPs, making it only the 4th, possibly 5th-largest, party (after Reform, Lab, LibDems, and possibly the SNP).

It seems that, not satisfied with having seized, or tricked the Arab Palestinians into giving up, 97% of the land of pre-1947 Palestine, the Jews now want the remaining 3% for Jewish Lebensraum.
“A left-wing activist who assaulted a man at an immigration demonstration in the wake of the Southport killings has walked free from court, prompting more accusations of a two-tier justice system.
Caroline Leneghan grabbed an iPhone off of victim Dylan Fontaine and smashed it in the ground during a heated exchange at the event in Bournemouth.
The former NHS nurse then physically lunged at him when he attempted to pick it up.
Based on his appearance, Leneghan yelled out that he was a racist and a fascist, inciting others to ‘swarm’ around him and putting him in fear of being attacked.
In fact Mr Fontaine is a white Muslim convert and was at the demonstration in support of asylum seekers.
Despite this and the fact Leneghan has shown no remorse, she walked free with a six month prison sentence suspended for two years.
District Judge Orla Austin said it was only the fact Leneghan was 20 weeks pregnant that she was not going to jail.“
[Bournemouth Echo]
Second (relevant) offence:
“Violent anti-racism protester avoids jail for attacking police.
A Left-wing activist has avoided jail for a second time after attacking a police officer.
Caroline Leneghan, 43, assaulted the female officer while being arrested for being drunk and disorderly at a pub in Pokesdown, Dorset, on Dec 27 last year.
Leneghan previously escaped prison for assaulting a man at a migrant hotel protest.
Poole magistrates’ court heard the police van taking Leneghan to the station after the police officer assault had to stop twice because of her violent outbursts in the back.
At one stage, the former NHS nurse slipped out of her handcuffs and was said to have brandished them at the officer like a weapon before being restrained.
After pleading guilty to assaulting an officer, resisting arrest, and the use of threatening language, Leneghan was fined £80 and ordered to pay £100 compensation to the officer she assaulted.
David Finney, prosecuting, told magistrates: “The defendant is alleged to have run towards a security guard to confront them and was described as shouting and screaming, so she was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and handcuffed.”
He added: “The officer said she feared she was going to be assaulted with the handcuffs.”
Juliet Osborne, mitigating, said Leneghan was pregnant and in a “heightened” state outside the pub as her former partner had been racially abused by a group of men.
She said Leneghan had been in “excruciating” pain as the handcuffs had trapped a nerve on her wrist.
Ms Osborne added: “She has reflected on the incident and expresses remorse and regrets the fact that [the police officer] felt she was in danger. It was not her intention to make her feel that way.”
During the rally in the summer of 2025, Leneghan snatched an iPhone from Dylan Fontaine and smashed it on the ground. Leneghan then lunged at Mr Fontaine when he attempted to pick it up.
Leneghan also accused Mr Fontaine of being a racist and a Fascist, incited others to “swarm” around him, and put him in fear of being attacked.
The 43-year-old denied charges of assault and criminal damage but was found guilty.
District Judge Orla Austin said it was because Leneghan was 20 weeks pregnant that she was not going to jail.
Leneghan was ordered to pay Mr Fontaine £300 compensation, £200 court costs and a victim surcharge of £154.
Leneghan’s suspended sentence came after allegations of “two-tier justice” over the way the authorities handle Left-wing versus Right-wing disorder and protest.
Her sentence for the migrant hotel incident was not taken into account during her trial for the police officer assault, because the offence was committed before her April sentencing.“
[Daily Telegraph]
Lucky defendant…
In fact, there are several aspects to those two cases involving one (crazed “pisshead” pseudo-political “activist” woman) defendant that make them interesting from the socio-political and legal points of view.
First of all, look at that defendant (presumably of Irish origin at some point). Thank God she is no longer an NHS nurse. I should be interested to see what other previous convictions she has (which would not have been —considered— “relevant” to sentencing). I would be prepared to bet that there were some.
I note that the defendant’s “previous partner” was (claimed to have been) “racially abused“. So non-white, visibly non-Brit/non-European.
No occupation noted for the defendant, so probably an unemployed single mother of a mixed-race child, with the father not en poste except as a drinking partner…
Poor once-great Britain…
I also note that the defendant was drinking heavily at the time of the second offence, despite being pregnant at the time. Not illegal (though it should be), but it says a lot about her. You can see from the newspaper photos that she is what is often termed a “pisshead”, probably without the willpower or inclination to stop drinking during her pregnancy.
Fortunately for her, I was not the sentencing “judge” (magistrate).
[me as London barrister, circa 1992/1993, and looking serious for some reason unknown]
Many, commenting on that defendant’s first conviction, have noted that Lucy Connolly was sentenced last year to over 2 and a half years in prison merely for having tweeted (or similar) that places housing migrant-invaders should be burned to the ground, or that she did not care if that were to happen. Lucy Connolly has two young (white British) daughters, and a husband with serious health problems.
Incidentally, I notice that the district judge who initially sentenced that “antifa” crazie at Poole has an Irish first name, though I doubt that that is relevant.
I myself was quite wrongly tried and convicted (2023) and sentenced (2024) for having allegedly posted a few comments and cartoons online criticizing or mocking (mainly) Jew-Zionists, corrupt MPs, and Israel:
As regular readers will know, I long ago also wrote a blog piece about the link between the “antifa” element, “anti-racism”, and mental illness, as well as the frequently-seen links to Jew-Zionist fanaticism:
It also occurs to me that, once again, a woman police officer was found not to have the strength or controlled aggression necessary in dealing with a very violent offender.

Starmer is not only in the wrong job but also strikes me as being an idiot, certainly in terms of geopolitics. Actually, he seems at sea in the legal milieu too. A rather nasty box-ticking file clerk type, given unmerited power for a short time. An Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet, with a Jewish wife, and children being brought up as if fully-Jewish.

[“Trump should not prolong the war in Ukraine just to spite Putin The conflict is a tragedy, but further American intervention will only delay the inevitable” The American publication The American Conservative reports that Russia’s victory in Ukraine is a matter of time and that Trump should stop dragging out this process. The article notes that Russia has “sufficient military superiority to achieve its main objectives,” while Ukraine’s hopes of regaining lost territories are described as nothing more than “fantasies” without a “realistic scenario” for success.“]
Russia can and should continue its advance until all Ukraine east of the Dnieper is under Russian rule. Kiev and Odessa should be “free cities” not under direct Russian/Ukrainian rule. Western Ukraine, except for the Black Sea/Sea of Azov littoral and Crimea, can then be an independent but neutral Ukrainian state centred on Lvov.

Even the anti-Russia UK/US msm have given up their former fantasies about Kiev-regime forces advancing on major Russian cities, and even on Moscow and Petersburg. Now, they limit themselves to pretending to think that Russian forces will not make “much” more progress, and that the Russian economy will “collapse”, or a popular uprising unseat Putin.
In reality, the Russian economy is doing at least as well as the EU and UK economies, and Putin, while flawed, is still far more popular in Russia than Starmer-stein is in the UK, or Macron in France, or Merz in Germany, let alone that evil little sprite, Ursula von der Leyen.

The reality behind the proscription is that the Jew-Zionist lobby in the UK wants to ban everything and everyone they perceive as hostile to Jewish or Israeli power and influence. It has nothing to do with real “terrorism” or the like.
