Thoughts out of season…

I happened to drop by my local supermarket, a Waitrose outlet. I bought a few basic items (bread, coffee, water, tomato, banana, paw-paw etc) and then went to buy some Euromillions lottery tickets. The draw tomorrow has a high-value prize, £132M, so I decided to buy 20 tickets. The elderly woman cashier told me that the machine told her that she was “not allowed” to sell so many to one person! A mere 20 tickets (£50 worth)!

I told her that I had had as many or more in the past. Oh, no, this is a “new rule”, I was told. A supervisor was called. She commiserated with me but explained that the new National Lottery company (a Czech thing called Allwyn) had just brought in this rule to “protect” people. I presume she meant “problem” gamblers.

£50! I recall that, in the 1980s, some City of London barrow-boy trader whose name escapes me (Terry-something) gambled £500,000 each-way on his own horse running in the Grand National. Equivalent to at least £2M each-way, i.e. £4M altogether, in today’s money.

Incidentally, though that horse lost, coming in fourth, Terry-something’s bet did not lose, because an each-way bet in a race with so many runners covers the winning horse (win and place) and the three placed horses behind the winner. In other words, Terry-something lost his £500,000 win bet but won on his £500,000 place bet, which paid out either a quarter or a fifth of the odds. His horse was at a fairly high price, so Terry-something collected enough to go away with a profit of about a million.

Anyway, returning to Waitrose and the lottery tickets, I was “allowed” (!) to buy 10 Euromillions tickets. When I mentioned the nonsense of it all to another cashier, on paying for my groceries, she also commiserated but added, “I suppose it is because we have to be mindful…some people lose their houses and so on…“, to which I retorted that people have to grow up and bite the bullet, not be monitored and controlled by nanny-state rules.

Jesus H. Christ! This country is going mad (as I expostulated during the above-described events), and is becoming just impossible.

The stupid thing is that the nanny-state restriction is on tickets bought per transaction, so there would have been nothing to stop me going round the store, returning to the kiosk, then buying more tickets! Or, indeed, going to another store and buying there.

So typical of the UK today. A stupid box-ticking rule, brought in by some drone with (probably) a ridiculous job title such as (my guess) “community engagement nobody”, which rule accomplishes nothing, not even on its own totally fake “caring sharing” bs basis, and which just inconveniences people and takes even more joy and hope out of life in Britain.

Of course, the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic accelerated all of this fake communitarian bs, and was designed to do that.

**** them all.

The idiots are still trying to interest the public in a war with Russia. Roll up! Roll up! Roll up to have your family killed and your home town (and every town) destroyed by nuclear attack!

Those corrupt and/or stupid MPs seem to be unaware that the real invasion started some time ago, is continuing, and involves the influx of a million non-whites every single year, thus ruining the UK economically, culturally, socially, and causing shortages and/or price increases in housing, food, water supply, NHS provision etc.

As for China, not only is China vast, with a huge population dwarfing that of the UK (and with commensurate military and naval resources) but it poses no direct threat at all to the UK.

There is no direct Chinese military or espionage threat to the UK at all. What terribly important secrets is the declining, decadent UK supposed to have that China might want to know? Which Labour MPs have been involved with young girls or little boys? What have Eastern European rent boys have been doing with Starmer-stein?

What China is doing (not only in the UK) is exporting people. Taking over societies such as the UK by the sheer numbers of “legally-admitted” immigrants, businesspeople etc. Gradual and peaceful takeover.

To win without war is the supreme excellence” [Sun Tzu].

The irony is that the MPs most agitated about both Russia and China are those most compromised by the actively spying Jew-Zionist and Israel lobby. Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, that disgusting individual, to name just one.

Ha ha! I am very much looking forward to most of those stupid little Labour MPs (Con MPs too) losing their seats (and then, I hope, suffering).

Yes, the “North-South divide” certainly is being closed, but only because the South of England is now catching up with the North in terms of being flooded by migrant-invaders, and by poor housing, poorly-paid work, and services that scarcely work (police, NHS etc). Wonderful…

What a shock. Not.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Net”. Meaning that, every year, in recent years, about 1.5M non-white migrants have entered the UK, about 100,000 have left, and about 250,000 (real) Brits also left, fleeing this country.

“Boris”-idiot should be put up against a wall.

Our animal friends.

[“Every race is tribal. However, Whites have been taught for decades through Marxist ideology that it’s bad for them to be like this despite natural instincts. This has led to the British becoming a underclass in their own land as other races have been uplifted and celebrated for their culture and communities in comparison. 1 million Indians alone in 5 years is absolutely insane. We do not have the capacity for this and certainly not for it to continue.“]

As an interim measure, restrictions could be placed on what types of person can use what types of public or other transport.

Sterilization of certain types of person must also be on the table.

Anyone voting for a System party candidate in any election is facilitating this abuse.

The UK level now is about 8%. In England, about 9% or even 10%. In many towns and cities, far higher. Once the level gets to 20%, 30% etc in any particular city, town, or region, you will have either an attempted takeover, an actual takeover, or a civil war of some kind.

As a matter of fact, that is already happening, though —so far— only in certain areas of the country.

I keep reading that Jews have been expelled, historically, from 109 countries, territories, and regions.

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

No, because the regime of the Jew dictator, Zelensky, is a brutal, corrupt, shambolic tyranny, in which dissidents get shot or arrested.

I hope to see self-publicizing, incompetent, malicious, dishonest Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis finally struck off the roll of solicitors before he snuffs it.

For more material about Lewis, just type the bastard’s name, or those of Patron Law, or Mandy Blumenthal, into the search box on the blog. Here is one result, anyway:

Our animal friends.

As previously examined on the blog, Morgan McSweeney, though not a Jew, is pretty obviously, and at the very least, an Israeli agent of influence (use the search box to see more), and the Starmer-stein “Labour” government of utter clowns is better described as a Labour Friends of Israel government. Almost all of them belong to Labour Friends of Israel.

The System talking heads and scribblers have still not woken up to the fact that Labour now has no “natural supporters” except some of the blacks and browns, some of the public service employees (teachers, NHS staff, local council staff), and a fairly small number of middleaged and elderly people who think they are living in 1975, not 2025.

Look at the opinion polls. The Labour vote at present seems to be 15%-20%, i.e. about the same proportion as non-whites in the UK.

[“Hundreds of medical whistleblowers have come forward to me with concerns about the English language skills of countless foreign NHS staff, along with questions of competence.

I raised those issues today in the Public Accounts Committee with the most senior Department of Health civil servants. I will be officially following this up, requesting all relevant data – published or unpublished.

Poor communication, and lacking competence, from foreign staff is playing a significant role in clinical malpractice. It’s a debate I am determined to force through, regardless of how uncomfortable some may find it. This is a serious issue – lives are on the line. I want to thank every NHS nurse, doctor, midwife, surgeon, manager and more who has come forward. All are considered, and I am acting on your concerns. I will continue to pursue answers in Parliament.”]

Unfortunately, though, Parliament, as it stands, is an almost complete waste of space, time, effort, and money.

The Americans, especially in places such as New York City, have been struggling with this for at least 35 years.

[“Though I yield to nobody in my view that BoJo was just about the least appropriate person to have as PM when Covid struck, I’m sceptical of the Hallet report’s claim that had he locked down a week earlier 23,000 lives would have been saved. First, it’s easy to be wise after the event. At the time nobody was quite sure what was happening. Second, that figure depends on modelling. And by now we should all have learned to be extremely sceptical of modelling.“]

The msm is still trying to push the line that “Covid” was some kind of massive international existential threat to humanity. In fact, a rather small “blip” virus was weaponized in order to serve the WEF/Davos/globalist agenda, and the propaganda was mostly prepared in advance— well in advance, in fact.

The motive seems to be to have the quasi-dictatorial measures rolled out again as and when required by the System, and as conditioning for a possible defence scam which might posit Russia, China, or both, as an immediate threat “requiring” a kind of martial law of sorts, as with the Covid scamdemic/panicdemic, but more intense yet.

As for “Boris”-idiot, I was exposing his nonsense (and sheer lack of ability) on Twitter years before this blog was even established (in 2016). However, his supposed defaults re. “lockdown” are scarcely worth talking about, because “lockdown” badly and perhaps irreparably damaged this country’s economy and society, and was entirely unnecessary, in reality.

As for “Panic-spreader General” Professor Ferguson, and the Michie woman, some societies would have them in prison, or up against a wall; some of the “vaccine” scientists and producers as well.

Diary Blog, 15 November 2021, including thoughts about charities and “good causes”

Charities

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10202001/Charity-employing-Carrie-Johnson-paid-bosss-wife-150-000-design-services-accounts-show.html

The newspaper report relates to the Aspinall Foundation [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aspinall_Foundation].

The charity that employs Carrie Johnson paid more than £150,000 to its chairman’s wife for interior design services last year.

The figure paid by the Aspinall Foundation equates to ten per cent of all donations received from public and corporate donors in 2020.

The organisation and its sister charity the Howletts Wild Animal Trust are already being investigated by the Charity Commission over their spending and financial management.”

The Daily Mail report triggers thoughts about several different areas: the present rotten government, headed by part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer, “Boris” Johnson and his Cabinet of clowns; the whole area of charities and “good causes”; and a few personal reminiscences.

The Aspinall Foundation was founded by the egregious John Aspinall [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Aspinall_(zoo_owner)],

Aspinall’s mother was later married to Sir George Osborne [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_George_Francis_Osborne,_16th_Baronet], one of their 3 children being Sir Peter Osborne, who married a Hungarian-Jewish woman, that couple then having 4 children, one of whom is Gideon “George” Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer under David Cameron-Levita.

In other words, George Osborne is related to the present head of the Aspinall Foundation, Damian Aspinall (son of John Aspinall).

Around 1995, when I still lived in Little Venice, West London, I was acquainted with a lady of middle age called…well, let’s just call her by my nickname for her, “Mouse” (probably now-deceased). That lady had known John Aspinall’s brother or rather (I think) half-brother, rather well, and had stayed at the country house in Kent which also houses the zoo:

Over drinks at “the Bunker”, our name for the cellar bar at the Colonnade Hotel in Little Venice, I was told Mouse’s assessment of John Aspinall: ruthless, someone who much preferred animals to people, and who regarded the death of keepers at the zoo (five of whom were killed by the animals) as not very important; collateral damage, if you like.

Apparently, in his early days as an illegal or near-legal gaming operator, in the 1950s, Aspinall had more than once had to ask his wife for her jewellery, to cover outstanding gaming debts.

By 1960, though, Aspinall’s activities had brought fortune, if not always a good name.

The present Aspinall, Damian Aspinall, son of John, is extremely wealthy, and his wealth is said to have come from real estate operations unconnected, originally, with gambling as such: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damian_Aspinall.

Whatever may be said about the way in which the Aspinall Foundation is said to be run, the work it has done with wild animals is said to have been very good, and in some respects pioneering.

Judging from what I have both read and been told, it seems that both Aspinall father and Aspinall son could say, “I did it my way“…

What about charities generally? There has been much criticism over the years of the loose oversight exercised by the Charity Commission.

Charity was originally a matter for the individual or the (Roman Catholic) Church. Taxation scarcely came into the matter. Once England started to become a more secular society, in Tudor times, legislation had to regulate what was or was not a “charitable” activity. The Statute of Elizabeth [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charitable_Uses_Act_1601] set down a list of “charitable” activities.

The Statute of Elizabeth was repealed in the 19thC, but the list of what is considered charitable still largely stands, clarified (or not) by case law precedent.

That is why, for example, the National Lottery of the UK has a fund not for “charity” but for “good causes”, a far wider ambit.

Many of the public concerns around charities have been caused by the way in which the larger charities soliciting money from the public pay their top-level employees. For many, it was shocking to learn that the husband of assassinated MP, Jo Cox, one Brendan Cox, was not only a sex pest and rapist or near-rapist [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5404241/Jo-Coxs-husband-admits-sex-pest-resigns.html] but was being paid something like £200,000 by the charity Save the Children, which churns out tearjerk TV ads and so on, which ads solicit donations and bequests from kind-hearted members of the public.

Indeed, Cox’s friend and fellow sex-pest, Justin Forsyth, who had been at the material times chief executive of Save the Children, had to resign from UNICEF after similar allegations emerged about him…see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_Children#Executive_Brendan_Cox_quits_after_women’s_complaints_of_’inappropriate_behaviour’. Forsyth had been paid about £300,000 p.a while heading Save the Children! Truly, for these bastards, charity begins at home!

There seems to be no good reason why such high salaries are paid. Brendan Cox, for example, had a rather modest academic and work background: see https://uk.linkedin.com/in/brendan-cox-433b364.

I was myself shocked to learn, many years ago, that the (effectively) fraudulent MP and expenses cheat, Derek Conway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Conway], after he was first removed from Parliament in 1997, had not only been appointed as Chief Executive of the Cats’ Protection League [now Cats’ Protection], but also been paid, if memory serves, something like £150,000 a year, a not inconsiderable sum in the 1990s. I favour that charity, which like many others has collecting tins here and there, but some of these executives, in the British Army phrase, really “tear the arse out of” their appointments.

This is very negative to the image of all charities, and leads to public distrust, thus hampering the valuable work that so many charities do.

No-one expects executives of large charitable organizations to work for nothing, or for peanuts, but there is a case, as elsewhere in our society, for decent measure.

It may be time to look again at what should constitute a charity, and to regulate the big charities, especially, more closely.

Liverpool bomb

Surprised this morning when watching a few minutes of BBC TV News (something I rarely bother with these days), and to hear the BBC reporter say that the (presumed) terrorist bomber in Liverpool had “sadly” died. What?!

No need, I think, for me to expand on my point.

Covid nonsense

While watching some news on TV briefly, also saw and heard that absurd van Tam person talking (seemingly endlessly) about “Covid” statistics. Something about how one group of people in one area had extremely high rates of hospitalization, “7.1% per 100,000 people“!

[7.1 or 7.1%?]

So, in a town such as Reading, of over 200,000 inhabitants, about 15 people might be hospitalized over the period mentioned (and almost all recover after a few days or a week or so).

[So either 15 people or 15,000 people! The latter would surely be absurd, nicht wahr?].

This is a public health problem that is nowhere near existential. Scrap all “measures”, fake laws, “rules” and all but mild advice.

Austria

This will only end when people, in numbers, not only start to say “NO!” but also start to punish the “authorities”, i.e. the System, and the “facilitators” of tyranny.

If even 10,000 Austrians were to go to the centre of Vienna, each armed with a mallet or hammer, and then were to break as many shop windows, and windows of government and police offices, as possible before being captured, that would make history. 10,000 freedom fighters, each breaking (say) 20 windows. 200,000 windows! Wien— Freiheit! Wien— das ist’s!!

Not that Austrians breaking windows will be sufficient, but it would be a start…
