Listening to Radio 4 Today Programme, as I write. An elderly lady was called by her GP and more or less forced to agree to forgo treatment if she became unwell by reason of bloody Coronavirus! So much for the NHS! All the rabbits “clapping for the NHS” are zombies as far as I am concerned. Yes, the NHS is a very good idea, yes many of the staff —not all— are also very good, but the NHS is not only underfunded but maladministered, and seems to have the corporate attitude “like it or lump it”.
We (i.e. as a society) have had to accept (though many prefer their illusions) that the NHS is actually not better than the health services available to people in most other European countries…Indeed, it is often nowhere near as good.
What is happening in the UK is that all of our cherished illusions about our own society are being tested to destruction. Bluntly, the NHS is letting people suffering from anything other than Coronavirus die, while prioritizing (some of…) those suffering from the virus, which people however cannot actually be cured or even treated (except by administration of oxygen or air).
Other institutions in the UK have also been found wanting. The police, in particular. We have had Derbyshire police using drones, spying on elderly fell walkers and then “shaming” them on Twitter. We have had the police of various forces, including Devon and Cornwall, setting up road blocks to snoop on whether the journeys of motorists are “necessary”. We have even had one particular “muppet”, the Chief Constable of Northamptonshire, saying that his “officers” (police woodentops) may start to rummage through the shopping trolleys of people leaving supermarkets to “check” whether this or that item bought is “essential”! This is not only the behaviour of a police state, but of one that has lost its mind! A Toytown police state and a poundland KGB.
“In the South West, Chief Superintendent Ian Drummond-Smith, police commander for Cornwall, warned non-residents to stay away from the area.
He said: ‘Our officers will be patrolling this weekend, firstly on the M5 and A30 in an attempt to prevent visitors from entering the force area, and then locally to enforce the restrictions.
‘We will do so in a fair and balanced manner, but travelling down to the West Country is a serious breach of these restrictions and those doing so can expect to receive a fine.‘”
[Daily Mail]
So how long before we need “internal passports”, in the manner of the Soviet Union?
The police are now making up the law, making up their own powers, as they go along. Lord Sumption, former Supreme Court justice, has now remarked about this unlawful arrogation of power by the police.
I was talking a few days ago to a lady of my acquaintance, aged about 90. She likes to drive her little car to a coastal car park, usually (on weekdays) containing about 3 cars, elderly couples sitting in them and gazing at the view, or strolling on the grassy clifftop. Well, now the local council has taped off that car park, and the police have put some kind of stupid “Stay at home, Protect the NHS” bs notice there. Does that in any way stop the spread or supposed spread of the virus? No. So why do it? Petty jobsworth zombie behaviour.
Other long-cherished British illusions have also been cruelly exposed as illusory or exagerrated. One is that the UK is “a society under law”. Courts are either closed or operating as “virtual” courts, in which the justice available is also often “virtual”, meaning more apparent than real. Some district judges (paid magistrates) have been behaving like poundland Judge Jeffreys clones.
Government too. It seems like they too are making it up as they go along. Floundering idiots posing as “statesmen”
There’s a massive scare campaign going on. I myself thought, at first, that Coronavirus was a huge threat to Europe and the world. I have been on a journey (one which most, it seems, have yet to make). I now have a very different view.
Let us look at the deaths from Coronavirus in the UK: so far, about 8,000. That is out of about 70 million inhabitants. In other words, about one person out of every nine thousand, so far.
Coronavirus does not affect all people equally, despite what the government is saying in what amounts to a propaganda campaign. In the 1980s, when AIDS first emerged, the System claimed that it, too, was a threat to “everyone”, when in fact HIV/AIDS was almost entirely confined to a few groups: gays engaging in anal sex, sub-Saharan Africans, persons given contaminated blood, to a lesser extent other blacks and browns. It was thought impolitic to speak the truth, that heterosexual European (white) people, especially persons of Northern European race/ethnicity, were almost certainly not going to get HIV/AIDS no matter what they did in bed or elsewhere (so long as they avoided the groups already mentioned).
At this time of year, in the UK, about 10,000-11,000 people die every week as a norm. Coronavirus has increased that by about 500. In other words the increase, i.e. increase on the norm for this month’s average over the past 5 years, has been —is— about 5%.
The Today Programme had some “expert” on, talking about the “risk” to certain age groups. However, that was the risk of being infected, not the risk of serious illness, let alone death. Most people infected with Coronavirus are unaware of being infected with anything, or have mild symptoms commonly also suffered via other conditions, or have distinct symptoms but recover after a week or two without any medical intervention at all.
At present the risk of being killed in the UK by (or with…) Coronavirus is about 1 in 9,000. For anyone under 70, bar a relative few with particular and serious pre-existing health conditions, the real risk is nearer to 1 in 40,000, if that. For those under 40, the risk of death is vanishingly small. For anyone under 20, we are talking about one chance in a million, or several million. Lightning-strike territory.
Incidentally, the Radio 4 Today Programme bimbo who did its superficial little piece about Oberammergau this morning made a few schoolgirl errors:
While the “Black Death” was a form of Plague, and basically bubonic plague [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death], it was current in the mid-14th Century, peaking around 1347-1351;
the Oberammergau Passion Play dates from an outbreak of plague in Bavaria in 1634 and was not, as such, the “Black Death”. Also,
contrary to what the Today Programme bimbo said (and so thinks), 1634 was not in the “mediaeval” period!
The international Jew lobby forced the people of Oberammergau (I think around 1990) to take out from the Passion Play the bit of the Gospel text where the Jews choose the robber zealot Barabbas to be granted clemency (instead of Jesus Christ), they then crying out to Pontius Pilate, “let His Blood be on us and upon our children!”
[above: Adolf Hitler says hello to a couple of local young children at Oberammergau, in 1934]
“Lockdown”?
Look at this graph:
The West has shut down its economy to try to flatten the curve, but it is arguable what effect this has had on the medical or health situation. The effect on the economic situation, however, is more easily determined. Dire…
As can be seen, the UK will be one of the hardest-hit economies, down by about 27%. Interestingly, Germany is forecast to do even worse. Our time is coming. We’re back!
In fact, even the medical or public health questions are not straightforward:
PLEASE, When studying figures of Covid-19 deaths, PLEASE note words of Deputy CMO Jenny Harries at govT briefing 5th April (11 mins 16 secs) 'for the UK these are Covid ASSOCIATED deaths, they are all sad events, THEY WOULD NOT ALL BE A DEATH AS A *RESULT* OF COVID (my emphases.
@ClarkeMicah There are around 165,000 cancer deaths in the UK every year, that's around 450 every day (2015-2017). Doctors are concerned that early stage cancer diagnosis is failing during lockdown.https://t.co/GbNTMqPWX9
Please always remember. Imperial College, whose work is the basis of UK govt’s destruction of the economy and attack on personal Liberty, are not universally regarded as infallible. pic.twitter.com/xlBx1zauxJ
It's not just me. Even the supine government broadcaster reports that catastrophe is coming( just doesn't put it on the big TV bulletins). What do people think will happen to the NHS under these conditions? https://t.co/VPjUIvs7Rp
No doubt the rabbits and zombies will keep on “clapping for the NHS” as it falls to pieces. Anyone not clapping will be noted and subjected to online “shaming”…
Paranoid? Maybe, but who would have predicted that, in 2020, UK police would be intimidating citizens walking in their own gardens, or in local parks, or stopping people taking a harmless drive or motorbike ride on an early Summer day? Who would have predicted the the police would use loudhailers and/or drones to bully sunbathing girls in parks or on empty beaches, old ladies resting on park benches, middleaged couples walking on deserted moors? Who would have predicted that police would threaten to check people’s shopping to snoop on whether, in the opinion of the police “officer”, the items just bought are “essential”?
You are hereby forbidden to read my columns and books in future, as you plainly haven't understood a word @shmaob49. And please stop being a 'big fan'. I don't want you. I'd so much rather have you as a foe. 'Back to normal'! I wish. What you think of as normal is over for good. https://t.co/AYbcRNd2cF
There is a difference, @lordruncibald, between taking something seriously, as we all do, and assuming that the government's policy of crashing the economy and impoverishing the country( and the NHS) is wise. Do at least try to *appear* to think before you tweet. https://t.co/KBK3HiW6Mf
I have no idea. Difference is that I admit it, and the government(which also has no idea) thinks the best thing to do is to crash the economy for decades to come, and shout at people when they leave their homes. I do wish people grasped what a crashed economy is going to be like. https://t.co/emHl9bbU4z
It is natural, though mistaken, to assume that those “working in the NHS” know better than, say, me about Coronavirus etc. Mistaken because, though not a medic, health specialist or scientist, I have recently at least read things written or said by leading (real) experts in virology, epidemiology etc, which most people, inc. most NHS people, have not. About 2 million UK residents work “in the NHS”. Everything from lawyers and accountants to cleaners and porters, as well as, obviously, doctors and nurses.
Most of those people, though mostly no doubt competent in their own work, know as little –or less– about “Coronavirus” than I do. The few who have a better claim are the tiny handful who are virologists, epidemiologists and genuine experts in allied fields.
I am not going to be shouted down, either by “me-too” conformists, whether they be the usual Twitter mob or others, or by “people who work in the NHS” (unless, as aforesaid, genuine experts— and who in any case hold differing opinions inter se).
Britain in the political near future
I do not have the means to start a new political-social movement, in fact I have fewer means than almost anyone in the UK in financial terms, but it must be done, and soon. Before very long, by the coming winter, the time will be right, the situation ripe. It will spread like a wildfire once started.
Peter Hitchens is ahead of the curve here. He sees that [what we think of as] “normal” is over, probably permanently. Europe (not just the EU) is heading for a massive depression. In 1945 the USA was able to regenerate Europe in economic terms, using the Marshall Plan, but now the USA may well hit the economic buffers as hard as Europe and so be unable to help (and probably unwilling, to boot).
By the way, many people think that the reason that Germany (West Germany) pulled ahead of the UK after WW2, at least after about 1956, is because Germany had Marshall Plan money and the UK did not. This is, in fact, yet another myth of the period. A very convenient myth for many in the UK.
In fact, the UK not only did have Marshall Plan aid but had more of it than Germany. The greatly undervalued historian Corelli Barnett examined that, inter alia, in his works:
Barnett has made the point that Britain post-1945 had a choice:
To maintain its Empire; or
To regenerate its industry and economy generally; or
To create a Welfare State.
Barnett’s view is that the UK had the possibility to do one or perhaps two of those things immediately, but not all three. Britain tried to do all three things simultaneously…
One might cavil that a welfare state could only be maintained by a functioning economy anyway. True, but what is a “functioning” economy ? What is a “welfare state”, indeed? Present-day Cuba has at least the bare bones of a welfare state despite being economically a “basket case”. Wriggle room exists. There are questions of definition.
A few more tweets seen:
They may be in for a shock, in that case @pmcalver. There is *no* part of this country that will be immune from the crisis Rishi Sunak is stoking. No job, no salary, no savings, no pension, in public or private sector, is now safe. Check out 1931. https://t.co/vs3T7DVD6v
My father was a career naval officer, not a conscript, @zxcallum cleverclogs. But I think most of his ship's company would have agreed with him that they were fighting for Britain as a free independent country. Not a place where you need police permission to leave your house. https://t.co/ExtyFtj0bN
Precisely. Man gets chicken pox. Dr says : 'This is incredibly serious. To cure it I must cut off your leg'. Patient 'Well, if you say so, doc'. Dr amputates leg. Patient recovers.

2/2 @RPBlackburn. Should we have trusted the government (for example) over the blood transfusion scandal, the Iraq and Libyan wars, the handling of the Foot and Mouth outbreak? This serf-like complacency is not just weak. It's irresponsible and lazy. https://t.co/KEZBnExSp6
Public attitudes and government decisions can be simply mad, deluded…
Yes, I am talking about the Coronavirus situation (“crisis”, “scare”, “scam”, “emergency”…you choose).
However, this has happened at various times in human history and not only in relation to “pandemics”. Take the First World War. It is common knowledge (and so probably wrong) to say that WW1 started because, once one empire started to mobilize, the others had to follow suit or be rolled over. Trite. There are elements of truth in that view, to be sure, but when we ask why the war both started and then continued for over 4 years, the answers are absent.
If you read the books of the period, such as the John Buchan stories, Greenmantle etc, you see that there was a panic, an absence of reflection, as well as a moral certainty that the British (or, in their countries, Germans, or Russians) had the moral high ground.
In fact, the First World War need not ever have happened, had people really thought.
Now look at the Coronavirus situation, eg in the UK. No-one knows much about the virus, though scientists are learning now. We know that it is transmitted in water droplets, eg if someone sneezes or even breathes. It is not transmitted in air, as such, so people sunbathing in parks or walking in the Peak District are not going to get it that way, or give it to anyone. Likewise, no-one can transmit the virus by driving around alone or riding a motorcycle. Has that knowledge changed government advice or police actions? Not a jot.
On the other hand, it is known that the UK “lockdown” (same elsewhere) is going to depress the economy and all but kill it for years, decades. Does that change the mind of this government? Not a jot…
So…what has happened is that the well-known bakery shop chain has been given the right to draw on £150 million of public funds over a year. Despite it being merely a retail outlet. Despite it having closed all 2,050 of its shops.
Almost all the 24,900 staff have been placed on “furlough”, meaning that the government (and taxpayers) will be paying 80% of their pre-furlough pay; Greggs is allowed to pay the other 20% of their previous pay level but in most cases will not be doing so.
What about the head of the organization, oneRoger Whiteside? Oh, he’s OK, because he is of course not being “furloughed”… and has decided to take 80% of his usual pay of £1,503,440, i.e. £1,202,752! Coronavirus Britain, 2020…
Stanley Johnson tried to get elected as MP, for the second time, in a new constituency, Teignbridge (Devon), in 2005, but failed (he came in a poor second). Voters described his appearance at a hustings with “Boris” as “a couple of public entertainers”, and unimpressive.
Talking of “unimpressive”, news now of that horrible little pissant, Robert Jenrick:
I suppose that the person most pleased that Boris-idiot is recovering is his fiancee. I am sure that her main concern was and is personal, but it must have occurred to her that, should Boris die (from any cause), she would be left dependent on her own resources, though I believe that her father is wealthy anyway.
In fact, Ms. Symond’s situation is a cautionary tale for other young women who, pregnant or not, are not married to what was once termed their “significant other”. Indeed, “Boris” is still, as I write, married to Marina Wheeler (his second wife), I believe, though divorce proceedings were instituted some time ago.
Had Boris Johnson died from Coronavirus his week, Ms. Symonds would have been entitled to not a penny of his estate, unless Boris has made a will in her favour, or a codicil to an existing valid will. In fact, Ms. Symonds would not even be allowed to stay at Downing Street and would be removed fairly swiftly.
I note the above not because I feel sorry for Ms. Symonds, who has wealthy connections and at least some monies of her own, but to caution others who are in similar non-marital relations (perhaps quasi-marital, so be it) and who are poorer than this lady.
When I was at the Bar, though I did almost no directly family law-related work (and in fact never even studied Family Law at university or Bar school), I did encounter the occasional similar story. I even met one lady, aged 40, who had been in a relationship for 20 years, had two or three children and lived with her quasi-husband in a house bought many years before via a mortgage. A married life in all but name (they did marry a few years later) but, had the husband died before the actual marriage, there would have been some headaches, especially financial, for the lady in question.
Priti Patel
“Downing Street is under growing pressure to explain the continued absence of Priti Patel from the government’s daily coronavirus press conferences.” [Daily Mail]
It is quite obvious why her colleagues do not want Priti Patel there. She is as thick as two short planks and, unlike some others (eg Iain Dunce Duncan Smith), unable to conceal the fact.
Police “muppets”, version 2, 3, 4, whatever…
Coronavirus: Cambridge Police checks no one is in non-essential aisles at supermarket https://t.co/ixe3frfuOs
Now Cambridgeshire Police have had to “clarify” why one of their officers “checked” supermarket aisles to see whether the slaves of finance-capitalism, oh, sorry, no wait….the citizens of the UK’s “free country” had been buying “non-essential” items (which, btw, is not unlawful anyway., not even in the new Coronavirus Police State…). The woodentop even tweeted about it! Dumb police woodentop klaxon…
My thoughts about this latest unpleasant absurdity from our uniformed zookeepers…I mean the police:
Why is a policeman wasting his time on duty “checking” anything lawful on private shop premises?
Why is that police narcissist tweeting about his activities?
Does the woodentop actually know any of the law(s) that he is supposed to be enforcing?
Does the woodentop in question know that he cannot simply make up laws and his own (in this case, non-existent) powers as a police constable?
Why does Cambridgeshire Police employ someone as a constable (I presume constable…God, could he be a sergeant?!) who a. seems devoid of common sense and b. seems to be power-mad?
Cambridgeshire Police say that the “officer” was “over-exuberant” and “has been spoken to”. Really?…So why are you, you police “muppets”, even employing an “over-exuberant” idiot who also seems to have no idea of a. the law, b. the limits of the law, c. the limits of his own powers as a police employee? Has the “muppet” recently come back from a taxpayer-funded “Common Purpose” course where he was told to “lead beyond authority“?
“Common Purpose is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 that develops leaders who can cross boundaries. This enables them to solve complex problems both in organizations and in cities.”
I think that a few things will need to happen down the line. First thing? Find a suitable wall…(make that “walls”…there are 85,000 Common Purpose “alumni” worldwide, many of them in the UK).
I’m not a great one for sharing FB screenshots, but the Cambridge Police tweet fits nicely with this post. If I’m doing my weekly food shop and decide to buy some non-essential plant pots and seeds to calm me the fuck down, I don’t see that that’s a disaster. pic.twitter.com/glMenZAtgm
So glad that Cambridge Police are checking that people aren't buying non essentials, that must mean every rape, murder and burglary is solved and you've got fuck all better to do, right fellas?
…and look at this ridiculous police bimbo! [from South Yorkshire Police] [link to video to see said policewoman]
After Cambridge Police searching supermarket aisles for non-essential shoppers this morning, South Yorkshire police have outdone them by threatening people in their front gardens.
Something has gone seriously wrong with the entire police approach here. https://t.co/St3K2bqR73

INSANE.
First, this ‘policing’ defies minimal expectations of common sense.
Second, the nation is under house arrest – we’re restricted to our homes *including gardens obviously* and this is crystal clear in the regs.@syptweet will you apologise?
Not only does this (more or less) female police “muppet” from South Yorkshire Police argue with and try to bully people standing in their own garden (!) but approaches them, shouting in their faces, behaviour which really might spread Coronavirus…and yet the idiotic policewoman tries to lecture the householders (incorrectly, at that!) about the virus! One of the householders is standing inside the doorway of his own house!
Watch that too [above]. Stunning. Toytown police, this time from Wales. Three police “muppets” harassing a man out walking his dog in a deserted park. The policewoman (who is leading this farce) tries to claim that the man (fully clothed) is “sunbathing” (which he is not, and that that is illegal (it is not).
It does not help that the Home Secretary Pritti Patel has gone AWOL. No leadership for the police nationally although with her record perhaps it’s just as well she is silent because she’s authoritarian & not very bright. But someone needs to lay out police powers clearly now.
It occurs to me (usually after a beer) that this Coronavirus thing is being used as an experiment to see how far the public will wear being told to stay in their little boxes and spin…
Another conspiracy theory
The Chinese government started the Coronavirus pandemic in order that the West would shut down its economy. After shutting down one province for a while, China then re-emerges, to take over much of the crippled world.
I suppose that the flaw in the above theory is that, without Western nations to which to export, China’s own economy will fall flat… In other words, China would be cutting its own throat.
Twisting the theory again though, one recalls that someone (Pat Nixon?) asked Chou-en-Lai what he thought of the French Revolution. Answer: “it is too early to say“. Could Pat Nixon really have asked such a question? The point, though, is that, of all peoples in the world, the Chinese take the long view.
As with most conspiracy theories, one ends up in a wilderness of mirrors…
Q&A session, Daily Telegraph:
“Fly fishing is a solitary pastime. Am I allowed to partake of this as part of my exercise regime? I have to drive half an hour to get to the river but once there, I will not see any other people.”
Daily Telegraph: “No. It is not exercise and you have to drive to get there. The Government has been clear that it does not want people to drive anywhere to spend time outdoors.”
Is there no-one in government, police, or the msm with the nous and courage to stand up and say “THIS IS BULLSHIT! DRIVING SOMEWHERE DOES NOT SPREAD ANY VIRUS. FISHING ALONE DOES NOT SPREAD ANY VIRUS! SUNBATHING ON UNCROWDED LAWNS OR BEACHES DOES NOT SPREAD ANY VIRUS!”? Apparently not. We are no more free now than Soviet citizens were, it seems, and there is no “free Press” or radio or TV worth a plugged nickel. Temporary, of course. Or is it?
As for the police, I do not know what is more irritating, the fact that some police are exposing themselves as petty and power-mad bullies, or the fact that Britain’s police (including their commanders or top brass) seem so utterly stupid and devoid of commonsense.
Latest government bs
They are talking about extending the “lockdown” bs for another three weeks! Maybe even longer! I hope that the zombies and rabbits, all clapping etc, think to blame themselves and also this government of incompetents, when they emerge blinking into the sunlight in May, June or July, for the fact that they have lost their jobs and maybe homes because of the unproven “lockdown” policy. I was not completely against it for a brief period, a week or two, but it is now going to destroy the UK economy, society and any remaining civil rights.
Police “too busy” to look through videos from just one named building to find the criminals, who must have been caught on camera! I bet that if a Jew complained that he was insulted there, the police would find the time, magically…The police really are usually a waste of space now. They are unwilling to help the public or to detect and solve crimes, most of the time, but prefer to act as a poundland KGB and thought-control force.
Coronavirus
There are tentative signs that the crisis has already peaked in Europe and much of Asia. In Italy, the death toll has reduced for the 7th consecutive day, and Sweden (which is not even in “lockdown”) is no worse off than the UK (which is). In the UK itself, the death toll is still increasing but that comes after a few days of decline and after the goalposts were moved by changing the statistical criteria. In Denmark, the government has said that it will be reviewing whether to ease restrictions after Easter, i.e. by mid-April.
Whatever is happening in the Americas, we in Europe can hope that this, or most of this, will be over by June.
The evidence is sketchy either way, but it seems logical to me (and always has), as a lay person, that if the virus can only live on or in people for 3-4 weeks at maximum, and if it can only live on inanimate surfaces for between seconds and a month (and usually for less than a few hours), then the virus as a social crisis is going to be over within a couple of months. By then, a vast number of people will have been infected, most will either have shown no symptoms or very mild symptoms, a lesser number will show symptoms not requiring medical care, a few will require such care, and a tiny minority will die. Whatever happens to those infected, it is all over, one way or the other, within a month.
In all cases, the virus will have done whatever it will have done within a few weeks or so. Even bearing in mind that new and uninfected people could still be infected, the main links of infection will not exist after May, it seems. That is, about 8 weeks or so from now.
In any case, if the present shutdown of the UK economy continues beyond May, the damage will probably be irreparable.
To what extent is the “lockdown” in the UK helping? It must be helping, but to what extent? We do not know. Sweden’s stats are broadly similar to the UK’s on Coronavirus infections (and better on deaths), but there they have no general “lockdown”. It is logical to assume that the UK “lockdown” is helping slow the rate of infections. However, the main safeguarding measure is that understood from the start: washing hands efficiently and frequently with soap and water.
The NHS is a very fine institution. In principle. In practice, it is patchy. The surgical and some other aspects are excellent, but the administration is more suited to some backward country in Africa or pre-1989 Eastern Europe. Shambolic. A bad joke. Coronavirus has cruelly exposed all of this.
In Germany, Scandinavia, even France, we see their health services dealing with the situation. In the UK, we see political squabbles and nonsense, shambolic NHS mismanagement, combined with fake “community” involvement like something out of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four: “Clap-in for the NHS”, and now “Second Clap-in for the NHS”. A kind of almost-forced “community involvement” for a country where the most important thing is virtue-signalling; and like other kinds of virtue-signalling, it accomplishes nothing.
The last thing that I would want would be for the NHS to become like the rapacious money-obsessed American healthcare model, but the NHS does need reform, as well as more money. In fact, part of the problem with healthcare in the UK is that we are given this false choice of “either British NHS or American get-what-you-pay-for healthcare”. That is not the choice. There is a variety of different healthcare models in the world, a variety of funding solutions.
Britain has been hampered in choosing and implementing a better healthcare system for several reasons:
the NHS as a “sacred cow” that cannot be changed (or criticized);
botched “reforms” by inane and often anti-NHS politicians;
the huge inertia in a system that employs over 2 million people;
entrenched group interests of the various blocs of healthcare professionals;
very poor and often hugely overpaid administrative layers.
Anecdote: I knew a retired British couple when I lived in France. The husband and wife both had serious health problems, in the case of the husband mainly heart-related. At first, he used to return to the UK for treatment, thinking, as English people do, that the NHS was bound to be better. When he finally decided to access the French system, it was revelatory. The equivalent of a “consultant” asked him (in English) what medicines he had been prescribed for his condition. He replied. The French consultant was visibly underwhelmed and said “well, I think that we can do better than that.”
The wife of that couple had a cancer condition. She was also far better taken care of in France than in Britain (or so I was told).
Another aspect to the above anecdote. The couple described lived in Finistere-Nord in Brittany. The treatment took place in the city of Brest, an hour’s drive away. The couple had cars, but preferred not to drive too far, partly because of their health problems. The French healthcare system paid for both of them to get to and from the hospital in Brest by commercial taxi! This is in fact quite normal there. In fact, a friend of mine found that it was hard to book a taxi in Finistere for ordinary reasons because most are booked-up by such hospital journeys.
Government aid to private economic enterprises
We are told that large enterprises which are now facing collapse must be given hundreds of millions of pounds each to keep them standing. Virgin Atlantic, BA etc. This is unsustainable, for more than a couple of months anyway. I am not sure that it is even desirable. The support should be given to individuals, not companies. The companies may go down. New companies will emerge, when trading conditions improve. Throwing money at what in many cases are already failing capitalist enterprises is the worst thing that government could do.
Economic growth comes from demand. Demand comes from the bottom, from the millions and tens of millions in the country. Their demand for goods and services fuels the birth and growth of new companies supplying those goods and services. It is wrongheaded to support existing, often poorly-run, companies. In effect, by doing that, government is subsidizing shareholders at the expense of other citizens. This was the conceptual error behind the bank bail-out of 2007-2008, which has suppressed the real economy for the past decade. Money, on a vast scale given to rapacious and incompetent banks run by incompetent and rapacious managements and owned by greedy shareholders. No understanding that banks are just “useful parasites” upon the real economy.
Even government, with its huge reach based on huge borrowing, cannot subsidize the whole economy —not for long—in a situation where the real economy is mostly not functioning. The various “lockdown” restrictions will have to be eased quite soon if mortal injury is not to be done. That may in fact already have happened.
Coronavirus in China and Europe: going, going, gone?
My take
Washing hands frequently with soap and water is the best protection. The countries of Europe with the worst personal hygiene (Italy and Spain) have been by far the worst-hit by Coronavirus (why not Greece too? God knows…).
In China, and across Europe, the Coronavirus infection rate and death rate are both stabilizing or, in most places, falling.
Social isolation was a good policy to try for a week or so and it has probably greatly helped but in a secondary way. The handwashing is far and away the most important.
“Social distancing”, while obviously useful, is not of much importance.
Most people either do not get the virus at all, or show no symptoms, or mild symptoms only.
Only a few (in the UK about 1 in every 3,000 people) will need to be hospitalized.
Very few people indeed —speaking relatively— will die from Coronavirus (in the UK, so far, about 2,900, out of maybe 70 million people, which is about 25 people out of every million or 1 person out of every 40,000).
Evening outing
Went out to Waitrose. Marginally busier than it was 2 days ago on Tuesday (also at 1930). A few poor souls like me lining up, ten feet apart, waiting to be approved by the three or four Handmaid’s Tale militia (Waitrose marshals) loitering outside, then given a trolley and permission to enter the sacred precincts of the store.
Inside, the absurd thing was that the same people religiously “distancing” outside were shopping within a couple of feet of each other at times! Shaking head territory…
Most items available. Pasta (dried pasta) cleared out (again), but plenty of sauce in jars. Rice rather depleted too, though available. Loo paper shelves full of product. Eggs available. Milk too. Bread too. No chickens, and no lemons. Are the locals all making lemon chicken? Ignorabimus (we shall never know).
I notice that Twitter catches up with me. Today, #WhenCoronavirusIsOver is “trending” in the Twitterati’s echo-chamber. I have been thinking for several days, and in fact longer, about blogging on that very topic.
The public health emergency itself
We all know that, certainly as a public health emergency, Coronavirus or “COVID-19” will end. When, we do not know. At first, the “experts” thought as late as next year, then it was “later in 2020”, now they seem to be saying sometime in the Summer. I myself do not know —just like the “experts”— but I am suspecting that this will not last beyond June at latest. Why?
First of all, we have seen the experience of Wuhan itself, where cases seem to have been around 3% of the population (3% of 11 million = about 330,000) but confirmed cases were only about 81,000 (which may seem enormous, but Wuhan is a city with more people than London, 19 million in the metro area around, compared to about 15 million in and around London, and has several times the population of the Paris area). Of the fewer than 82,000 confirmed cases in Wuhan, 3,300 have died. The outbreak has now either been contained or simply ceased (played itself out). The authorities are now easing the “lockdown” restrictions.
That link, above, is worth perusing. It shows that, in Europe, the UK is actually far down the list of countries with Coronavirus (per million population). We see that some countries have had far more cases, adjusted by population, than the UK, but a lower death toll. Why? They have better healthcare.
Germany has had three times the number of Coronavirus cases as has had the UK, but only a third of the deaths. Why? Better healthcare.
The NHS is a very fine thing in principle, but in practice it is lagging behind many countries in terms of outcomes. It is a kind of religion in the UK, a sacred cow. It has also been both maladministered and starved of funds for many years.
In Germany, the healthcare system just dealt with the Coronavirus situation. Its political leaders did not overdose on the “we can do it” rhetoric, there was none of the fake “wartime spirit” that we have seen in the UK, with its “recruit a million volunteers” and “mass clap-in for the NHS” (which the Twitterati loved…oh, didn’t they love it! Virtue-signalling central…).
There is panic around. Example: special flights are today taking British tourists from Peru (which has virtually no Coronavirus) to the UK (which has). I am sure that the tourists are grateful. Or misinformed.
“Cokehead” Gove, the expenses-cheating little doormat for Israel, has now announced that the UK will possibly “have to have” even more strict “lockdown” measures. How will we even get food? This is madness.
The predictions for deaths in the UK were 250,000, even 800,000! Now one study says 5,700; another says about 20,000. Still bad, but nowhere near the apocalyptic numbers previously mooted. Already we see the alarming death toll stabilizing. The last day (28 March) was not quite so bad as that of the day before.
It is difficult to argue, as have such as the scribbler Peter Hitchens, that the very severe measures, “advised” and then mandated by the Boris-idiot government, were wrong or too strict. Having said that, that may indeed have been the case.
“The simplest way to judge whether we have an exceptionally lethal disease is to look at the death rates. Are more people dying than we would expect to die anyway in a given week or month? Statistically, we would expect about 51,000 to die in Britain this month. At the time of writing, 422 deaths are linked to Covid-19 — so 0.8 per cent of that expected total. On a global basis, we’d expect 14 million to die over the first three months of the year. The world’s 18,944 coronavirus deaths represent 0.14 per cent of that total. These figures might shoot up but they are, right now, lower than other infectious diseases that we live with (such as flu). Not figures that would, in and of themselves, cause drastic global reactions.“
“We may very well be comparing apples with oranges. Recording cases where there was a positive test for the virus is a very different thing to recording the virus as the main cause of death.“
“Early evidence from Iceland, a country with a very strong organisation for wide testing within the population, suggests that as many as 50 per cent of infections are almost completely asymptomatic. Most of the rest are relatively minor. In fact, Iceland’s figures, 648 cases and two attributed deaths, give a death rate of 0.3 per cent. As population testing becomes more widespread elsewhere in the world, we will find a greater and greater proportion of cases where infections have already occurred and caused only mild effects. In fact, as time goes on, this will become generally truer too, because most infections tend to decrease in virulence as an epidemic progresses.“
[Dr. John Lee, NHS consultant pathologist, in The Spectator]
He makes another very important point:
“The moral debate is not lives vs money. It is lives vs lives. It will take months, perhaps years, if ever, before we can assess the wider implications of what we are doing. The damage to children’s education, the excess suicides, the increase in mental health problems, the taking away of resources from other health problems that we were dealing with effectively. Those who need medical help now but won’t seek it, or might not be offered it.”
I dare say that the above, despite having been written by a NHS consultant pathologist, and indeed professor of pathology, will not be welcome to many engaged in groupthink on Twitter, in government, in the organs of the State such as the police, and NHS. Dissent from the “accepted” view is treated as a kind of social treason at present.
Simply washing hands is probably 90% of the answer. As for “social distancing”, “social isolation” etc, they help but are secondary or tertiary.
There has been a study from Oxford University suggesting that a high proportion, maybe 50% of the UK population, has been, since the beginning of 2020, infected with Coronavirus. Most people either show no symptoms or relatively mild symptoms. We have seen this at the heart of government. A number of MPs and ministers have been confirmed cases. So far not one has been seriously unwell, despite their ages (in their 40s, 50s, 60s).
The virus cannot live for long on a human being. A few weeks at maximum. After that, the carrier, if infected, is either
asymptomatic and clear;
diagnosed and then recovered and clear; or
(a tiny minority, probably a small fraction of 1%) dead.
The virus likewise does not live long on surfaces. Hours, a few days (or even weeks, but only in exceptional cases).
Incidentally, the first confirmed case of Coronavirus in China was on 10 January 2020, the first in Italy 29 January, and the first in the UK 30 January. Fewer than three weeks after China. China is now easing restrictions, but the UK government is talking about keeping them until as long as September! Even tightening them (how?)…
We are now right at the end of March 2020. “April is the cruellest month”, as T.S. Eliot wrote. It will probably see the peak of the Coronavirus epidemic in the UK, if that has not already been reached. By May, the situation will probably look very different, and by June, very different again. I shall be surprised if we are not “back to normal” by July at the latest. But what is “normal”, now?
After Coronavirus
I suppose that the Government and the whole System will say that Coronavirus ruined the economy. In fact, it was “tanking” already. The retail sector in particular. Now, we have seen huge numbers of lay-offs, some partly subsidized by the new government “furlough” plan. Already there have been half a million registrations-as-unemployed and there will be millions more.
Vast numbers of small businesses have been hit, and many will close down, never to re-appear. I don’t mean the fake “businesses” that consist of one person doing the job of an employee but not, technically, being employed. I mean real very small businesses, which may employ only the principal, and maybe a handful of others. Small, but multiply those few people by a million and you see the problem.
The UK Government cannot pay a significant proportion of the population fairly substantial amounts indefinitely unless there is an economy still functioning. At present, the only parts of the enterprise economy still functioning are the retail banks, the supermarkets, the smaller food shops, the medical-pharmaceutical sector, some construction and engineering projects, some agriculture and horticulture.
The pound will eventually fall through the floor in a situation where other economies are or will resume functioning while the UK economy is still prevented by its own government from functioning. That will make imported goods very expensive. Britain imports most of its food.
We could be looking here at Britain’s final eclipse as a major economy.
House prices
British people are famously obsessed with the supposed value of their houses. A house where I spent many years on and off in Little Venice, London, was bought at a valuation of £100,000 in or about 1980. The lady owner sold it in 2005 for £1.4M, I believe. Its valuation in 2018 was around £3.5M and may even be £4M now. A 35x or even 40x increase in value in 40 years! Pay in the UK has increased (face value) by only about 2x or 4x in that period.
Even in the past two decades, and even outside London, property has leapt in value. I recall seeing little bungalows for sale in Seaton, Devon in 1998, while idly walking around. One was only £23,000! Others were £25,000 and £28,000. I should imagine that even those little places would be priced at something like £200,000. In fact, I have just now looked on a property website: cheapest similar house— £195,000. A nearly tenfold increase in 22 years.
The UK property market is a house of cards ready to collapse. The buy to let sector will be first. People who do not have jobs cannot rent houses, usually, because the housing benefit does not cover the full cost (even if the owner is willing to rent to the jobless— most are not).
Once the buy to let sector has collapsed, the rest of the market will suffer a catastrophic (for property-owners) fall. A 50% fall is by no means impossible.
As to commercial property, even before Coronavirus the sector was tanking. Jews control much of it, so to that extent I rub my hands. With businesses collapsing, the economy on the floor, there will be little or no demand for offices and shops. The Internet is in any case killing the retail sector inasmuch as it is in the High Streets and even malls.
Pick-up in the economy
After Coronavirus, some businesses will pick up quickly: barbers, hairdressers, people who fix computers etc. Others may never emerge from the depths. One thing is for sure: money will be in short supply for most people.
Unemployment
Unemployment will be huge. The misconceived and cruel “welfare” (social security) “reforms” started by the Labour Party (particularly the “Blairites” Alistair Darling and James Purnell) from about 2007 and made inestimably more harsh under the part-Japanese sadist Iain Dunce Duncan Smith have ruined the DWP both attitudinally and in terms of efficiency. The recent huge upsurge in demand has found the DWP (under deadhead minister Therese Coffey) unable to cope.
Politics
I predict that, in 2021-2022, and as the economy tanks, the pound collapses, house prices fall and unemployment surges, there will be a demand from the whole people for radical change. The tired “Conservative” Party cannot offer that, still less can the —all but irrelevant— Labour Party. This will be the moment for social nationalism to strike!
“You see, my son, here time turns into space!”
Update, 24 December 2020
Most of what I predicted in the above article has come to pass.
Superficially, I was wrong in saying that both “the virus” and the various measures supposedly to reduce its occurrence would finish long before the end of 2020. Well, here we are, and, on paper, the virus is still here. However, flu has all but disappeared as a cause of death, replaced by “Coronavirus” or “Covid-19”.
Vast numbers are being tested and so, ipso facto, numbers “infected” are also high, but few require any treatment. As I predicted, deaths peaked in April. I myself still know no-one who knows anyone who has or has had the virus.
The overall death toll in numbers in the UK is below that of some recent years. “The virus” is a serious public health situation but scarcely the Black Death. About 1 out of every 1,400 living in the UK has died from or with “the virus” (in the world generally, 1 in 8,000).
Meanwhile, the absurd over-reaction of “the authorities” has trashed civil rights, ruined much of the economy, and made life near-intolerable. Unnecessarily.
After years of mixed reviews, the truth has hit: the NHS is now basically incapable of dealing at all with the most serious public health danger for decades, possibly since 1918.
the number of hospital beds per thousand of population is lower by far than in other “advanced” countries; below that of even the USA, and less than half of the number per capita available in France;
the number of intensive care beds is only 4,500 in the whole of the UK, about 1 for every 16,000 people. The number of beds actually operational is nearer to 1,500, so about 1 for every 45,000 inhabitants;
if people contract the illness, they are asked not even to call the NHS advice line (111) for over a week! We may as well be in black Africa!
people with the virus or who think that they may have it are asked to “self-isolate”, i.e. protect others and society as a whole by staying in their homes (so far, no red crosses are to be painted on their doors…), but for the sufferers themselves, for those that live with them (and the UK has a huge amount of shared occupancy and crowded housing) there is no help, not from the NHS, not from the medical profession, not from the State itself.
The British State has shown itself unable and in essence unwilling to help its people.
In the now almost-mythical past (pre-2010), when I myself owned Rolex watches, it only peripherally occurred to me that I might be attacked and robbed for one or another watch. I lived in almost-Central London; also in Almaty, Kazakhstan and elsewhere. I never had a problem (well, not one that could not be handled). Now? London has become a zoo with golden bars.
As to the victims in the report above, some seem very young to be sporting Rolex watches worth £6,000-£7,000. Only 18 and 19! They have wealthy and indulgent fathers? They are Lotto winners? Video game designers? “Rolex robbers” themselves? Well, there it is.
The “Great Replacement”: are the worms starting to turn?
In the parallel universe of Twitter, “#BorisOut” is trending, and not unjustly, after Boris-idiot’s pathetic attempt to play the statesman yesterday, and now that more people understand what people like me have been saying for years:
Boris Johnson is no good in a crisis;
Boris Johnson has no real ideas or ideals;
Boris Johnson is merely posing as Prime Minister;
Boris Johnson is incompetent
Twitter is far from the real political world at ground level, though. The irony is that most of the mortalities from Coronavirus are likely to be people over 70 who voted Conservative in 2019 and so are directly responsible for this government of fools even being in place. “If you listen very carefully, you can hear the Gods, laughing” [Commodus, allegedly]

I have noticed in the past couple of years that quite a few of those who have engaged in persecuting me, denouncing me to various authorities and snooping on me, as well as insulting me on Twitter, have died or are fast declining by reason of terminal medical conditions. Not a few are also mentally disturbed.
I have just seen today that yet another one has apparently shuffled off the mortal coil.
Sad news, though not unexpected. I used to use Flybe sometimes, in those long ago days before 2010 when I actually used to go places…I have flown Flybe (or partner airlines) out of its Exeter base, as well as to/from Southampton, Brest (Finistere), Newcastle, Norwich, Doncaster, Manchester, as well as a few other destinations. Quite good. Hard to see how Southampton and Exeter airports will be able to continue if, as reported, Flybe provided up to 95% of the throughput (BBC says 90% for Southampton and 80% for Exeter). Journeys such as Exeter to Newcastle or Norwich are hell by car, even at 100+ mph. I think that the Newcastle route, taken a couple of times, took about 40 mins actually in the air. Pretty good. Car? About 5-6 hours, depending on M5/M6 (etc) traffic.
Bad news for those employed too, both at Flybe and in other connected or supplying organizations. It may be, acc. to reports, that BA, or the appalling (one hears) Ryanair, may take over some routes, so all may not be lost.
Coronavirus
So far, the public “panic” is muted in the UK. There is a groundswell of unease, though. Over the past 2 days, I have noticed that the (only) local supermarket, a Waitrose, has run out of (nearly £20 a jar) Mauka honey, the cheaper and larger-pack loo paper, antiseptic handwash etc. Also, far fewer than usual number of shoppers.
The response of Boris-idiot’s government to the “Corvid-19” situation has been feeble. As I noted here a few days ago, my Australian niece (early 20s) returned a week or so ago from the (in the event, largely-cancelled) Venice carnival to a Heathrow Airport sans any checks or questioning. When I visited Macau from Hong Kong in 2006, the bird flu was around and my almost deserted return hydrofoil docked in Hong Kong to a reception of white-garbed and masked medical personnel, who pointed a kind of thermometer gun as I and the few other passengers passed by. Notices warned that anyone could be taken into quarantine if their body temperature was “too high”. Alarming.
I have no confidence in the ability of the NHS to handle a large-scale epidemic. Its administration is not very efficient, the UK has fewer beds per 1,000 population than any other “advanced” state —far fewer than France, for example— and its staff and facilities have been hit by years of “austerity” cuts and government mismanagement.
For no particular reason, The Black Bear:
Despite being part-Scottish somewhere in the mists of time (from my surname, which is believed to be Franco-Scottish in origin…a former girlfriend once visited a chateau in Normandy owned since it was built, hundreds of years ago, by a Templar-connected family called de Millard), I have never actually visited Scotland. Maybe some day.
If any portion of this is because of the influence of Boris-idiot’s fiancee, then I salute her.
For far too long, the organized farming lobby has had a disproportionate influence in Westminster. The only industry to be still subsidized to the hilt. Ecologically, generally very negative. I must blog about all that again soon.
Judicial leniency
The woman in the report below should have been imprisoned. Too many use the fact that they have popped out a couple of children as a reason for not getting a well-merited prison term, even in cases (as here) where the woman in question was cruel as well as neglectful.
Why was the younger one “spared jail”? An airline captain on duty attacked, kicked, struck, blood drawn…What do you have to do in England today to be given a custodial sentence? (say something about the behaviour of Jews, probably…). As for the District Judge finding that the older woman was acting in “self-defence”, that is just a joke. Idiotic woman (I mean the “judge”). Finally, why are these semi-savages in the UK or any part of Europe?
When I still had a Twitter account, I did a series of tweets re. “Save the Children” and also the fake charity called the “Jo Cox Foundation”. The former paid and still pays its top few people hundreds of thousands of pounds per year. No-oneexpects the heads of such a charity to work for nothing, but the largesse extended to the few at the top has a degree of obscenity about it, especially when contrasted with the TV ads showing starving children etc.
The sex pest and near (if not actual) rapist, Brendan Cox (husband of the assassinated virtue-signalling MP, Jo Cox), was paid, certainly by average standards, a huge salary and very generous expenses to be one of the main executives. That despite a very mediocre academic and work background.
He was finally brought down by sexual assault claims which, eventually, had to be admitted. I doubt whether his basic attitude has changed much. He now still is involved in some way with the Jo Cox “charity”.
I discovered, about 3 years ago, that the Jo Cox “charity” had officially-published aims and purposes which were ludicrously wide— they could mean almost anything, and —more significantly– purported to allow the “charity” to do anything, pretty much. I also discovered that the “Jo Cox Foundation” had never filed accounts. It has now, and its documents have been amended to fit within UK charities legislation:
The disgraced expenses cheat and former Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, is now “Chair” of “Jo Cox Foundation”, which apparently spent about £400,000 last year, despite having an income from donations and “trading” of only £300,000. I should get an accountant like that myself!
I have to say that the whole set-up seems very dodgy to me, even now. I do not think that the whole Jo Cox/Brendan Cox story has been uncovered; it certainly has not been told.
China. What an appalling country. Cruel to animals and people alike. Its technical and organizational capabilities are sometimes impressive (as is its ancient culture) but it is, in the end, backward despite those capabilities and despite that culture.
Dominic Raab, the half-Jew who is now Foreign Secretary under this ZOG regime, stands accused of blackmailing a British family to stop their court action, which relates to the death of their son. Disgrace. All because the UK has gradually become an American colony thanks to Churchill (half-“American” and probable part-Jew) and his successors. Disgrace.
Dominic Raab confirmed on 26 November 2019 in a letter to the family’s lawyers that he will be seeking to recover the Foreign Office’s costs of these legal proceedings from Harry’s parents. We have asked him repeatedly to reverse this decision but he hasn’t. This case is likely to be appealed and could go all the way to the Supreme Court, so the costs risk to the family could be upwards of £100,000.
Mr Raab has instructed the Government’s top barrister, Sir James Eadie QC, who acted in the prorogation case, as well as an international law professor, a senior junior barrister and solicitors from the Government Legal Department. This doesn’t come cheap and we are not wealthy people who could afford a huge costs order against us.”
The Daily Mail link to the appeal seems to be defective (sabotaged?) so here is that link:
“One in ten Britons could end up in hospital with coronavirus according to NHS officials who are drawing up a ‘battle plan’ to tackle the deadly outbreak.” [Daily Mail]
Who are they trying to fool? The NHS can scarcely cope with its present responsibilities and tasks.
I liked a few of the comments to that Daily Mail story, though:
I do not know enough about internal Labour politics to say how accurate that is, but it looks as though Keir Starmer, whom I thought would be a shoo-in, may not win as easily as predicted.
There is no need for there to be a final 2-candidate contest or “playoff” if one candidate out of the three remaining gets 50%+ of the vote:
At present, though, it looks as if Starmer’s support may fall short. If Lisa Nandy comes third in the next round and so is removed from the race, to which candidate will her votes go? It is unlikely that most will go to Rebecca Long-Bailey, so Starmer is almost certainly going to win. Long-Bailey would have to pick up more than three-quarters of Lisa Nandy’s votes in order to overhaul Starmer. Very unlikely, but you never know.
Whichever one wins, they have all kow-towed to the Jewish lobby, so they are all damned as far as I am concerned.
What happens if it starts to take hold in parts of the world which have weaker health systems and incompetent governments, such as the UK? https://t.co/cHsvFsIt2P
Talking about the Chinese Coronavirus, one disgusting aspect is that it seems that anyone in the UK over 60 and/or those with ongoing health problems will be at the back of the line for NHS treatment or care.
Great…so any migrant-invaders, fake “asylum-seekers”, tinker “traveller” riff-raff, any humanoid straight off the boat or plane, any young “chavscum” etc will be prioritized ahead of those mostly native British people who have worked, striven, created, suffered all their lives, fought in wars, in most cases also having paid in large amounts to the NHS via taxes (including “National Insurance”, which is just an extra income tax).
In fact, the “British” Government (ZOG regime) will welcome, secretly, a cull of the over-60s, because it will save them some of the “holy money” they revere so much.

Despite the aristocratic European parentage on his paternal side, von Coudenhove-Kalergi was half-Japanese. His first wife was a Jewish actress, and he was bankrolled by uber-wealthy Jew bankers, particularly a Rothschild and a Warburg.
Returning to the question of UK television ads, many have noticed that, in the past few years, the default “TV family” in such ads is a mized-race one, usually with a black as “husband” and “father”, and a white woman, often blonde, as “wife” and “mother”. So common is that scenario now that people are either making jokes about it or getting angry about it, both online and in the comments sections of newspapers. I myself blogged about it a year or so ago:
Now ASDA (i.e. ad agency employed by ASDA) has produced an ad in that vein: “husband”/”father” black as the ace of spades, white woman as “mother”/”wife” figure, but with the added absurd twist of two “daughters”, one coffee-coloured and with hair sticking out in a semi-Afro, the other girl blonde and the two bearing no resemblance to each other.
I think that we must be clear about all of this. This is cultural war on the peoples of Europe. This is an aspect of “White Genocide”. It is an attempt to eliminate the European peoples as such, and to mix with the European, the African and Asian, and thus to deflect Europe from its historic mission to move eventually, and in the right way, from the 5th Post-Atlantean cultural age (c.1400-c.3500 AD) to the Sixth Post-Atlantean. That is on the high level. On the more mundane level, this propaganda can only lead to the elimination of Europe as a significant world bloc, and to its role being usurped, on the Western flank, by North America, which has to some extent already happened.
Floods
The River Severn has always flooded, this isn’t global warming and it isn’t climate change. It’s just the weather and lack of maintenance in the hills that drain into the tributary is that feed into this great river. https://t.co/QghD93okZj
Apropos of nothing much, I have just become aware that, at age 28, Michael Gove, the pro-Israel scribbler, expenses cheat, cocaine abuser and now Cabinet Minister, took part in a film called A Feast At Midnight, released in 1995 to muted reception. Gove’s role was that of the school chaplain. The film had famous actors in it, including Christopher Lee and Robert Hardy, but sank almost without trace.
Films set in schools often do bomb. When I was at school, a film was made there during the summer vacation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unman,_Wittering_and_Zigo_(film). Along with other pupils, I was asked whether I wanted a role as an extra. I declined. I remember David Hemmings, then a well-known actor, taking a class (of about 15-20), presumably to get the feel of his role (a new schoolmaster). I myself exchanged a few words with him. The film was made, but bombed. It is rarely seen even on nostalgia TV channels.
I suppose that there are exceptions, If being one:
When I lived in Little Venice, London, at various times but especially in parts of the 1990s I used to see Peter Jeffrey, the “Headmaster” in If, in the local pub occasionally. We had a couple of brief conversations. My impression: not a very nice man (that was only my impression, though). He was a pretty good actor (he was cast in Anne of the Thousand Days —as the Duke of Norfolk— and in many other major films).
Sweden examined, as social democracy becomes multikulti dystopia
This, below, was sent to me earlier this year via “social media” and is about the emergent Swedish dystopia. I reproduce it (with covering note) exactly as I received it:
“@ianrmillard this was the Gab post (just another thing about the Swedes)”
“I was an exchange student in Sweden a few years back. It was weird, creepy and depressing. There was an ever present ambience of fear in the people. A cult like monoculture of political correctness and complete cognitive dissidence. Cars burning, gang shootings, skyrocketing rape, robbery etc etc etc. This stuff was almost unheard of 20 years ago there. I am ethnically Asian (chopsticks rice… you know a real Asian) that’s why I wanted to see the Nordic culture while I was working on my thesis. I quickly found out that there is more Nordic culture in Minnesota then in Sweden. All I saw were hijabs, kabab kiosks and menacing gangs of MENA kids/dudes roaming the streets. The creepiest part was how the ethnic swedes were reacting to the shitstorm around them. Swedes would talk about anything except for what was relevant. Of course I got called a racist for asking questions. Yeah me the Asian guy who’s married to a Jewish girl with mixed kids. Okay so what’s important in Sweden? Glad you asked: Putting guys in prison for not having a WRITTEN CONSENT when they change sexual positions with ie their wife during sex… I shit you not! Please look it up! How about firing dudes for refusing to wear a pussy hats at work or putting a 75 year old woman in prison for speaking her mind about immigrants sexually assaulting her. Oh yeah let’s not forget about the 91 year old man who got convicted too. Swedish media is so monolithic, controlled and polarized that it make Vox look unbiased. My whole Sweden experience can be summed up as a fucked up Stephen King movie where it is never day or night. Just a somber Kafkaesque fog of melancholy and fear emanating from the walking dead as they lumber around in cold rainy darkness. So depressing. BUT WHY!?”
Forget the Americanisms, the poor grammar, the spelling mistakes etc. I am no longer shocked that something like the above could flow from the pen of someone (anyone) with, as it seems, a “doctorate”. Forget all that. Focus on the main issues.
First of all, I concede that I have never actually been to Sweden, unless you count that time, now amusing for me, when I was refused entry to Sweden at the port of Malmo. Yes, Sweden at that time (1982) actually refused entry even to bona fide visitors, let alone to hordes of migrant-invaders!
This blog post is about more serious general matters than my own occasionally picaresque life experiences, but in outline, I was going to Helsinki and decided to get a ferry from Travemunde Skandinavienkai, which at that time was on the border of the DDR (East Germany) and West Germany [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travem%C3%BCnde], to Malmo; My idea was then to meander around the whole of the Gulf of Bothnia to Finland, hitch-hiking until I reached Helsinki. The sort of decision one probably has to be quite young (I was 25) to make…Anyway, my “plan” was shattered by a Swedish immigration officer, who decided that I had insufficient funds to be allowed into their social-democratic paradise. I was cast out (in effect deported, back to West Germany) and to this day have never seen Sweden (or Finland) except on TV and film.
I had seen odd TV documentaries about Sweden, and had read one rather critical book in or about 1970, but my idea of Sweden was of somewhere fairly socially advanced, technologically advanced, environmentally conscious etc. Modern shoebox-shaped white concrete and glass institutes, clinics etc, staffed by beautiful blonde girls in white uniforms, would pretty much sum up my idea of the country. This was long before the books and films of the Nordic noirs, of detective Wallander and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (which, particularly the Wallander TV series, pretty much ruined my view of Sweden).
Over the past 15 years, not only Wallander etc spoiled my mental view of Sweden and its society. I heard, at second-hand, about the gangs of immigrants making life hell for many Swedes, especially young ones having to interact with the invaders (including “invaders” born in Sweden…) in the neighbourhoods and schools of Gothenburg (Goteborg) and Malmo.
Since then, Sweden has been invaded on an even bigger scale by huge numbers of fake “refugees”, who in many cases actually turned down offers of asylum in Germany and even Denmark in order to reach Sweden.
Not that the invasion by non-Europeans and consequent social near-collapse is confined to Sweden. The Netherlands, Germany, UK, France, you name it.
Sweden, though, seems to have gone mad to an even greater extent than “Western” Europe (Central Europe too). Swedish society has perhaps been softened up by decades of social-democratic and “liberal conservative” government. “Anti-racism”, ever more mad feminism, some bastard progeny of self-flagellating Protestantism turned secular, perhaps.
In fact, a great deal of the whole debate in Sweden about the migration-invasion has been poisoned by such hand-wringing fake altruism. These people take pride in destroying their own race and culture in the name of some secular “saintliness” which is based on them lying to themselves and others. Look:
Pathetic bastards who probably think of themselves as well-meaning, or as the French say, bien-pensant.
The Jewish element is at the forefront of the encouragement of migration-invasion. There are quite a number of Jews in Sweden, mostly in Stockholm. Some are subsidized propagandists working away to destroy Europe’s race and culture. One of the most notorious is the appropriately-named Barbara Lerner Spectre:
We have seen at least two of the roots of the Swedish sickness (Protestant do-good-ism turned secular, and the Jew-Zionist “Messianic” element), and they fit in perfectly with the evil Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan:
but to those two already-noted strands must be added the social-democracy that ruled Sweden for so long. It gave Sweden many positive things, but in the end was simply unable to defend the Swedes against incursion by degenerate and alien forces.
Sweden went from being a rather socially-conservative society in the pre-WW2 period to being more liberal, with a relatively generous Welfare State in the 1950s and 1960s, but then fell into widespread degeneracy socially, sexually and politically in the 1970s. After that, Sweden’s superficially-successful but internally decadent society was unable to say no to the immigrant hordes.
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” [Matthew 7:6, King James Authorized Version].
Now Sweden is facing an existential threat:
Even the above documentary from RT [Russia Today] contains misplaced though understandable compassion (a European trait, after all), but remember that Biblical quotation…
Sweden is not in fact the source of the degeneracy and evil sweeping across Europe, but it is, arguably, the most contaminated EU country from the migration-invasion point of view. It merely shows in exaggerated form the same influences and effects that exist in other parts of Europe (and especially the EU states). What marks Sweden out is the authoritarian pro-multikulti State apparat, which has even taken away children from parents thought to oppose the migration-invasion. Also, the “journalists” in Sweden are almost all completely dependent and docile. We see the same situation in the UK, as with the scandal of Pakistani Muslims (mostly) sexually abusing young English girls. The same non-response from social workers, police, the compromised political element, the drug-abusing msm “journalists” etc.
The Sweden Democrats are now the third-largest party in the Riksdag [73 seats out of 349; the largest party, the Social Democrats, have 107].
Also, the air in Sweden may be cleaner if (as I read somewhere) the evil Barbara Lerner Spectre has actually returned to Israel. I do not know whether that is so, however. She may still be in Sweden.
It is all very well saying that the Spectre creature is a harmless crank, but in Sweden she has obviously had considerable influence, has received royal decorations from the infested Establishment etc.
“It would be a brave person who picked out the politician that has most debased themselves since the Brexit debacle exploded. But among the favourites in this crowded field would be Matt Hancock, the over-promoted health secretary who switches views so freely whenever he sees any threat to his seat at the cabinet table.
One minute he is a compassionate conservative, bitterly opposed to No Deal, valiant defender of businesses and vowing to fight on the beaches to prevent the proroguing of parliament. Then he pops up a few days later to do his latest leader’s dirty work by arguing passionately against his own previously stated views.
Hancock personifies why so many voters have lost faith in Westminster. He is a plasticine politician, moulded by others into contorted positions while posing as someone of stature. Last week he tweeted that one of his jobs was ‘to stick up for doctors’ after Jacob Rees-Mogg compared a neurologist with whom he clashed to the disgraced medical fraudster behind the measles epidemic – but only after the leader of the house was forced to apologise by a tide of outrage. Then after Amber Rudd found her backbone, he expressed sadness at her resignation but hoped ‘other One Nation Tories will stay and fight for the values we share.’Note how this ludicrous figure still dons the mantle of One Nation Conservatism when he is serving the most divisive prime minister and right-wing government in modern history. In just a few short weeks Boris Johnson has trashed constitutional norms, jeopardised the union, risked peace in Ireland and purged many of his own moderates as he completes the transformation of the Tories into the Brexit Party.”
Well, this is about “Matt” Hancock MP, not Conservatism as such, so I shall leave aside the question of how Ian Birrell can call what has happened in the UK since about 2007, mostly under “Conservative” Prime Ministers, “compassionate” or “decent”: the hounding of the sick, disabled and generally poor by part-Jap sadist Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “lord” Freud, Esther McVey, David Gauke and others; the human skeletons and terminal cancer sufferers found “fit for work” by the politicized DWP bullies, the hate campaign by (again, part-Jew) George Osborne, and so on.
I recall seeing Ian Birrell himself on BBC or Sky News newspaper review arguing for a retention of prescription charges despite the fact that only about 1 out of 8 persons actually has to pay them anyway (the under-18s, over-60s and any people on State benefits or below a certain income level do not pay), so the amount saved by all the cross-checking and snooping is small in governmental terms. But we can leave that aside for now and return to “suited thug” Hancock (my soubriquet for him on Twitter, until the Jew-Zionist lobby had me ejected).
Hancock’s biographical details
Hancock’s parents are affluent and own a software company in his native Cheshire, where he studied at an independent school and a further education college, before going up to Oxford. He achieved a First in PPE and then, at Cambridge, an MPhil. All very impressive, or would be, were one ignorant of the fact that, thanks to award inflation in recent decades, no less than 33.9% of Oxford students get Firsts (and 93.8% get either Firsts or 2:1s!). As for a “Master’s” degree, well, hardly anyone fails, unless they drop out or die.
Matt Hancock did not die, sadly. He joined the Conservative Party, worked for his family business for a short while, then took a job “as economist” at the Bank of England. No detail available except that it concerned mortgages. How much of his time was taken up in making tea, one does not know. That lasted for about a year or so, before Hancock became, in 2005, an adviser and then Chief of Staff for George Osborne, which latter role he had until 2010.
Hancock became MP for West Suffolk, a safe Conservative seat, in 2010. In that position, and later as junior minister and then Secretary of State, gaffe-prone Hancock has been notorious for sheer nastiness and general incompetence.
“In January 2013, he was accused of dishonesty by Daybreak presenter Matt Barbet after claiming he had been excluded from a discussion about apprentices after turning up “just 30 seconds late”.[12] Barbet said Hancock knew he was “much more than a minute late” and he should have arrived half an hour beforehand to prepare for the interview. His opponent expressed surprise that “a minister whose Government berates ‘shirkers’ couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed to defend his own policy”.” [Wikipedia]
“In March 2013, Hancock initiated and assisted the development of the Conservative government’s minimum wage policy. Against internal and external party opposition, Hancock highlighted that most economic analyses demonstrate that raising the minimum wage had “no discernible effect on the employment prospects of low-wage workers”.” [Wikipedia]. Perhaps not, but Minimum Wage does ensure that workers in low-paid work are at least paid something approaching decent if very modest pay…Hancock would not understand that, having only worked for his parents and then as an office bod in the Bank of England.
“In the July 2014 cabinet reshuffle, he was promoted again, this time to Minister of State for Business and Enterprise, Minister of State for Energy, and Minister of State for Portsmouth. On 27 July he announced protection from fracking for National Parks[14]—seen as a method of reducing anger in Conservative constituencies ahead of the election.[15] Interviewed on the Radio 4 Today programme, he rejected the suggestion that fracking was highly unpopular but when challenged was unable to name a single village which supported it.” [Wikipedia]
“In October 2014, he apologized after retweeting a poem suggesting that the Labour Party was “full of queers”, describing his actions as a “total accident”.” [Wikipedia]
“He became Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General on 11 May 2015.[20] He headed David Cameron’s “earn or learn” taskforce which aimed to have every young person earning or learning from April 2017. He announced that jobless 18- to 21-year-olds would be required to do work experience as well as looking for jobs, or face losing their benefits.” [Wikipedia]
Hancock supported Remain in the 2016 EU Referendum.
“Hancock was promoted from his position as a junior minister within the Culture department to…Secretary of State during the cabinet reshuffle of January 2018.[25] he was then promoted further to Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on Monday 9 July 2018.” [Wikipedia]
“Hancock [was] the first MP to launch his own smartphone app in 2018.[27] The head of privacy rights group Big Brother Watch called the app a “fascinating comedy of errors”,[28] after the app was found to collect its users’ photographs, friend details, check-ins, and contact information.” [Wikipedia]
“In April 2019, Hancock, who had previously said the NHS would face “no privatisation on my watch”, was criticised for allowing 21 NHS contracts worth £127m to be tendered.” [Wikipedia]
Incredibly, this useless and unpleasant person, having been promoted to Cabinet only 8 years after having entered Parliament, then put himself forward as candidate for Conservative Party leader and so, by default, Prime Minister! However, he was knocked out during the first ballot, having received only 20 votes out of 314.
Now Hancock, having supported Remain until 2018, is apparently all for Boris Johnson’s “no deal” (WTO) Brexit! Many suggest that he wants to keep his feet under the Cabinet table (well, why not? You get double the pay that way…). Also, he may think that, as someone who is still under 40, he has the chance to strike out for the leadership again if he can keep in the spotlight as “senior” government minister and Conservative MP.
Some may ask why Hancock, with his Oxbridge degrees and economics background, is in the Deadhead MPs series at all. Sadly, these days, a degree is far from a guarantee of intellect, still less wisdom, and anyone who has seen Hancock’s frequently pathetic and floundering performances on television since 2010 will struggle to see the “suited thug” as anything other than a born and bred deadhead.
Much water under bridges since I penned the above assessment about Matt Hancock. He is now the main face of the Government in the coronavirus “panicdemic”. I think that I shall wait until a later date, though, before properly updating this article.
Update, 16 June 2021
It seems that events have both overtaken and vindicated me…
Boris Johnson called Matt Hancock 'totally f****** hopeless' in WhatsApp message, Cummings says https://t.co/4TCFxudy2i
Matt Hancock said "when I first asked for a list of all the elderly care homes, we did not have one". But a list does exist and it seems to have been online throughout the pandemic.
Hancock will find his political career finished now, at least in Government. Boris-idiot will not take him on again, so avoiding msm and public flak, and “Boris” can now blame Hancock for any and all “Covid” lapses since early 2020…
Matt Hancock was not offered Government preferment by either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak. He then decided to let down his constituents by accepting a reputed £400,000 to spend a month in Australia on the I’m A Celebrity show. That despite the fact that he was (and at time of writing still is) being paid a full MP salary, plus Parliamentary expenses.
Hancock has lost the Conservative Party whip, which I doubt will be restored, meaning that, as of the next General Election, his political career is at an end.
West Suffolk is a very safe Conservative seat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Suffolk_(UK_Parliament_constituency)], which would mean, in the unlikely case that Hancock is able to regain the whip, that he might be one of a relatively small cadre of Conservative Party MPs surviving what is likely to be a political massacre at the next general election.
Likelihood is that Hancock will not stand at the next general election, but will either go into business of some sort, or perhaps get into TV work, if his lack of both integrity and personality is not an insuperable handicap.
Update, 7 March 2023
Many will now be aware that Hancock decided to “grift” more money by having the well-known or notorious journalist Isabel Oakeshott ghost (-write) a book of his “Covid” period memoirs. The results have been explosive, after Ms. Oakeshott revealed thousands of messages among the Westminster supposed “elite”, mocking “ordinary people” and admitting to wanting to “scare the pants off” the public.
Hancock has announced his departure from the House of Commons (as I predicted would happen).
Hancock’s book has bombed, in fact. He may well have been given a large advance, though.
Politically, Hancock is finished, and he is now scrabbling to be given immunity from suit or prosecution.
Another System politician who deserves, at the very least, a good kicking.
JUST IN: UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock threatened to block funding for a new centre for disabled children if a resistant Member of Parliament refused to support his lockdown.https://t.co/VaNEmp6ETIpic.twitter.com/UtBm7cutAO
Hancock did not contest the West Suffolk constituency at GE 2024. His successor, Nick Timothy, managed to hold on, with 34.3% of the vote (Labour 27.2%, Reform UK 20.8%).
Well, not me personally! In fact, the title refers rather to those who have tried to attack me over recent years.
Beyond those who seem to be obsessed with me personally (see below), I have noticed over the past 7-8 years on Twitter (my own account was closed down in 2018) that the platform does seem to attract many people who are mentally not normal in various ways. Indeed, many of those seem to take pride in their flawed mentalities and either proudly proclaim themselves to be this, that or the other, or frequently describe their conditions, medication, battles with the DWP or NHS etc.
I tend to look mostly at the more political side of Twitter, and there one does find a lot of mental instability and worse, and that particularly applies to those supporting Zionism, as well as “antifa” idiots. Most who attack me have mental problems (admitted by the individuals themselves).
When I had a Twitter account, one particular little bumboy even incited his relatively few followers to pour petrol over me and immolate me. I could not be bothered to report it to the police (or Twitter) at the time, though Twitter did suspend the pathetic degenerate’s account for a week. I daresay that he will get what’s coming to him in the end, one way or another. He will probably die of AIDS or something before any punishment comes to him from elsewhere. In the meantime, the same unpleasant little blot on humanity still tweets about me and how “evil” I supposedly am, though he does so only occasionally now. He thinks that he is anonymous and hidden, perhaps. He recently tweeted that he is “absolutely fine” about Nigel Farage being attacked with battery acid. Are the police interested? Probably not, since he has not posted rude pictures of one of the tame thick princelings and/or the Royal Mulatta, and has not tweeted anything “anti-Semitic”. One law for all? Hardy ha ha.
Dr. Tim G. Stevens
There again, we see, here below, another nuisance troll who spends time on Twitter: Dr. Tim G. Stevens, NHS consultant psychiatrist from Essex (via South Africa and Newcastle). He tends to tweet in the Jewish and Zionist interest, despite not being Jewish (certainly not full-Jew). He is in favour of mass immigration in the UK and was anti-apartheid as a Trotskyist student in his native South Africa. All the same, it seems that he has no desire to return to build the wonderful new “rainbow nation” South Africa, ruled as it is by an increasingly violent and corrupt African majority rule “democracy”. He is obviously capable enough of seeing the folly in that, but look at this absurd and recent tweet!
Seventy-one years ago today. The Windrush generation enriched Britain in ways future historians will celebrate. https://t.co/kgFsAuAXq4
At first, Dr. Tim seemed to regard me as a person simply espousing an ideology with which he disagreed, but over time he has become virulently hostile, as can be seen in his tweets here below.
That generally holds true, but doesn't account for the Nazi high command. Or Ian Millard.
Dr. Tim’s own mental health seems to have deteriorated between 2016 and 2018, looking at a selection of his many tweets about me. Just my honest opinion, of course. He starts off by being quite thoughtful in 2016, but by 2018 is all-out offensive and stupid.
Extreme right-wing Muslim-hating, Jew-hating Hitler lickspittle Ian Millard gets the horn. pic.twitter.com/IxVYs6FRyw
Looking back at 2016, I wonder whether Dr. Tim started to understand that, in the 1930s, it was the norm for at least the leading or influential National Socialists to be highly educated, intelligent etc. The same is in fact true in 2019 of many social national people, but the Jew-Zionists, the “antifa” idiots etc usually want to portray them as “knuckledraggers”. Perhaps it is this cognitive dissonance that has sent Dr. Tim off the rails, apparently. He has recently been tweeting about how he has clinical depression and is on medication for it.
Even in 2016, Dr. Tim seemed obsessed by me and a couple of other tweeters:
In 2016, I am not (yet?) a “knuckledragger”, but by 2017 Dr. Tim thinks that I am a “sad sack“. Ironic, in view of his own (though only recently publicly-admitted) depressive condition…
In fact, and in case anyone is curious, I myself have never been diagnosed with any mental illness or condition…
An odd thing, though, for a psychiatrist to tweet about someone. Not very professional. I am aware that he has also made very unprofessional comments about others in recent years. Examples: Jo Stowell, photographer, formerly of Bristol, for one; also about Alison Chabloz, the persecuted satirist, singer and songwriter.
Dr. Tim attempts a little cod-diagnosis by tweet. Pathetic. Is this the sort of diagnostic skill he uses on his Chelmsford patients?
Obsessed Dr. Tim replies to someone on Twitter who defended me:
I think I know what your answer is, but for tidiness’s sake I just want to make sure I can file you correctly with your cronies Carter, Millard and Chabloz. Otherwise I’ll have to start a new folder.
2017: Ironic. Self-described depressive case (and actually on medication) “Dr. Tim” describes me (never diagnosed with any mental problem or illness) as a “sad sack”.
It does seem rather unprofessional, though, for an NHS consultant psychiatrist to describe anyone as a “sad sack“. It seems to indicate an odd attitude to his own psychiatric patients, particularly those suffering (like Dr. Tim himself) from depression.
Dr. Tim is also a hypocrite:
Dear Dr Curtis
I often attack Corbyn. I have mental health problems.
Oh, and I’m a psychiatrist.
Parse that. And while you’re doing it, take a moment to reflect on GMC and Royal College guidance re using mental illness as a political smear.
Dr. Tim is perhaps angry because my instinct told me that he might be partly-Jewish and I tweeted about it once, several years ago. An educated guess based on his general look (not conclusive by any means), his attitude (he not infrequently tweeting about how others envy his professional status and supposed “success”, for example), his constant tweeting about “anti-Semitism” etc, and his being accepted openly as “one of us” by outright Jew-Zionist trolls on Twitter.
In the past, Dr. Tim claimed that one of his grandfathers was an SS officer who died at Stalingrad. At other times, he seems to have tweeted that the same officer was in the Wehrmacht and not the SS. Either way, he tweeted that he was ashamed of that officer, who (assuming any of it is true) seems to have perished defending Europe from Stalinism.
Now it seems that Dr. Tim believes himself to be part-Jew; he has been tweeting about it:
Today I sent off one of those genetic testing kit things.
Dr . Tim tweets further (in answer to tweeters who have been arguing with him over his enthusiastic support for controversial electro-shock “therapy”):
I suffer from recurrent depression, which thankfully has never been severe enough to require hospitalisation. If that happened, I’d want ECT.
and Dr Tim admits that he often cannot think logically or coherently by reason of his mental condition:
Not fishing for sympathy here at all. But has anyone else who’s suffered from depression noticed that, while the morning is utter torture, the afternoon brings an urge to communicate with people which results in faux pas, because you can’t think straight?#depression
Tweeter “@cdaargh”, above, formerly known as “Christine of Aargh”, is someone with mental problems, and who supplements her prescribed medication with self-medication (whisky). She is not known for her diplomacy, as evidenced by this amusingly crazed (though understandable) tweet to the then Prime Minister, David Cameron-Levita, in 2015:
[Update, 14 October 2025: now that “cdaargh” has locked her Twitter/X account and stopped tweeting (since 2022), her amusingly-crazed tweets cannot be read, but I cannot fail to commemorate one of her best ones, in which she described the then Prime Minister, David Cameron-Levita as, and so replied to one of his official tweets, “you pus-faced shitlizard wankgoblin“. Legendary…].
@cdaargh” linked up with a minor Jewish academic called Ben Gidley, “@bengidley”, who was was secretly using the Twitter name “@inthesoupagain” to troll people (Twitter suspended the account permanently in the end, after which “Soup” —Gidley— started an identical account called “@antinazisunited”, now also apparently suspended, though tweets earlier than May 2019 are still extant). He also seems to run Twitter account “@bobfrombrockley” and other accounts, a fact which has often made me wonder whether he ever gets any work done at Birkbeck or Goldsmiths colleges (University of London)! Another one obsessed with me (and “anti-Semitism”, of course).
“Christine” loved it that I was disbarred, and she was too stupid to see that it did not harm me in the slightest (because I had ceased practice 8 years before). I wonder whether “Christine” herself has ever had a job, let alone a profession? I doubt it.
[Update, 7 February 2026: another of her tweets also deserves immortality: some tweeter asked people what would be their favourite Olympic sport. Her reply? “Catapulting politicians onto a wall lined with spikes“! Again, legendary craziness…]
Quite a number of decent tweeters stood with me against these crazies:
I'm not having her or anyone else dictating who I chat to. 😒
Well, “@cdaargh” only tweets occasionally now. Looks as though she is back down the rabbithole or somewhere. I could show hundreds of other tweets from her in similar vein, but there it is… Her latest tweets at time of writing of this article:
A Zionist Jew who seems to spend a great deal of time on Twitter is tweeter “@frankiescar”, aka Andrew Roberjot, a kind of legal groupie (though apparently unqualified), who is so odd that he actually turned up to gloat when I was before the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in 2016. While he is not (as far as I know) actually clinically mentally-disordered, he is an obsessed Zionist who, like Dr. Tim, has an elastic relationship with the truth. Here, below, they discuss my ability as a barrister, and my life at the Bar in the 1980s (in fact, I was still a —belated— student then, and, having spent years in the USA, was Called to the Bar only in 1991):
I suspect when he was first practising law in the 80s he had the same views, but a) they were taken less seriously back then; b) he didn’t have a platform like this to give free rein to them.
Roberjot “diagnoses” me! Ah, well, why not? Stevens is little better, and he is apparently a qualified psychiatrist (though I have never heard of one behaving as he does). Note that NHS “consultant psychiatrist” and depressive case Dr Tim “likes” Roberjot’s “diagnosis”…
I wonder whether I should make formal complaint against Stevens to the GMC? His behaviour seems very unprofessional, to say the least. I shall have to think about it. I usually prefer to not bother with the like. On the other hand, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” laughed when people said that they would complain against him. Well, he’s not laughing now…
Note that “@frankiescar” (Jewish Zionist knowall —or know-nothing— Roberjot) agrees with some other crazy Zionist that I was “a prospective Tory candidate” in years past. Not only have I never been a prospective candidate for any party, but have never even belonged to the Conservative Party (or to any System party)! Complete fabrication. Well, after all, what else can you expect from (((them)))?
Mike Stuchbery
Yet another one who has mental “issues” is Mike Stuchbery, who has tweeted against me in the past, gloating at my disbarment etc if I recall aright, though there were so many unthinking deadheads and “antifa” idiots like Stuchbery doing that (especially in late 2016, soon after my disbarment) that by now I have forgotten almost all.
Stuchbery poses as both “journalist” and “historian”. In fact, he was briefly a (later discredited and sacked) supply teacher in a comprehensive school, who now is always asking his Twitter followers for money):
When one suffers a severe bout of anxiety or depression, the preoccupation with our circumstances – real or imagined – can result in us missing out on food, sleep, human contact – the things that keep us on an even keel.
Stuchbery is better known for having quite recently organized people to go to Tommy Robinson’s family’s home, while also organizing the filming of the incursion. What Stuchbery did not anticipate was that Tommy Robinson would turn up later at his, Stuchbery’s, house! Collapse of stout party! In fact, meltdown…
Stuchbery’s modus operandi is to sit in the rear and co-ordinate information about any broadly “nationalist” activists, from UKIP and Brexit Party through Tommy Robinson and on to social nationalism. He does not expect to be directly involved in the violence he can be said to have incited (he himself claims that his actions fall short of incitement), but he supports it with weasel words, and he certainly does not expect to be called to account for his actions (see photograph above!) . The Tommy Robinson episode may have taught him a lesson, i.e. “what goes around comes around”. I wonder.
Louise Mensch
Then again, we have others, affected by mental problems, drugs, whatever: Louise Mensch, for example. The one-time “chick-lit” scribbler as Louise Bagshawe) and pro-Zionist, who is married to a New York Jew and now lives in Manhattan), was briefly the “Conservative” Party MP for Corby (under her married name, Mensch, not her, er, “maiden” name of Bagshawe):
Before she scribbled “chick-lit” books and became an MP, Louise Mensch worked for EMI, at which time she was a heavy drug abuser. She has admitted being left with “long term mental problems” by reason of her drug abuse.
Apparently, she was also a very promiscuous rock music groupie too, at one time, a fact that the 2010 Conservative Party campaign at Corby failed to mention:
Oxford University has, of course, always been famous for bikes (though mainly of the 2-wheeled type).
[above, Louise Mensch, smoking drugs]
Hard to believe that the Conservative Party made a ghastly and ignorant bitch like that an MP, even if it lasted in the end no more than about 15 months. Oh, well, maybe not, looking at some other MPs…
Louise Mensch has of course admitted being “left with long-term mental problems” because of her drug abuse, and is now notorious for making up claims about supposed Russian involvement in American and UK elections, claims that have recently been exploded by independent research. Even Nick Clegg, for Facebook, has now agreed with that.
Mensch personifies the absurdity of Twitter: with 289,000 “followers” (whether bought or real; perhaps genuine), she no doubt thinks herself very influential, but her real political or other influence is effectively zero.
Louise Mensch was almost manically or hysterically happy when I was disbarred in England, and actually tweeted directly to me to say that she was going to make similar complaint against me to the Bar of the State of New York. She thus managed to display simultaneously not only her lack of any class, but also her ignorance about the New York Bar and its rules, and about US Federal law (including the US Constitution).
Louise Mensch. What a stupid demented cow! When she realized that she had no leg to stand on (little matters such as the U.S. Constitutional free speech provisions, the fact that she was never my client, the fact that I have in fact never practised in New York despite being qualified and Admitted there… etc), she deleted the tweet. In fact, she seems to have deleted all her tweets about me.
The #RachelRiley tirade about AS reminds me of a similar intervention by Louise Mensch a year or two back. Mensch stated anyone who used the term 'Zionist' was automatically an anti-Semite. Someone asked her if it extended to Theodor Herzl? Yes, everybody! she replied. https://t.co/T8Ck1dzSCe
Another point: anyone who thinks that attendance at Oxford University guarantees a good level of knowledge should take a look at types such as Louise Mensch…Like so much of Britain, Oxford University has been living off its hump for a very long time.
Mark Lewis
Abusive Jew-Zionist solicitor Mark Lewis, whose mind has been damaged either by his multiple sclerosis condition or the drugs used to control or ameliorate it, admitted when on trial before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal that at times he had no idea what he was doing, saying, or tweeting! After having being found guilty, he fled to Israel with his carer/”partner”.
Rather than go through all the details of Lewis’s crazed behaviour, I refer the reader to my previous studies about him, which can be found on my blog pages via the search function. Incidentally, he has never even threatened to sue me for any of what I have written about him…
“Slatfascists”
Then we have the persistent Twitter troll (he’s also on GAB and other platforms) known, inter alia, as “‘@slatfascists” or “Dave”. Another one with mental problems — this becomes almost tiresome, but this article is being written to show the strong link between “antifa” (and also some Zionists) trolling and snooping, and mental disorder.
“Slatfascists” is often in contact on Twitter with other “antifa” idiots and also Zionists such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer”. Supposedly Mancunian (like Lewis), his main interest other than trolling/snooping is playing some stupid online game in which the “space cadets” pretend to be commanders of spaceships! Beam me up! Once, “slatfascists” did not take his medication and had a Twitter meltdown. Out of misplaced compassion, I deleted my Twitter comments about the episode. As the Bible says, “do not give that which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn and rend you” (as he indeed did…). Below, “slatfascists” interacts with another disturbed person, who describes himself as a “proud Aspie” (Asperger’s Syndrome person)
Ahhh, with you now! Is Millard still rambling too?
[Update, 16 October 2021: “Slatfascists” has closed down his Twitter account, possibly because his identity was allegedly revealed recently. Good riddance; and I hope permanent riddance. Because the “Slatfascists” Twitter account has gone up the chimney, none of his malicious and unpleasant tweets can now be seen]
[Update, 17 October 2021: as predicted likely yesterday, “Slatfascists” is back on Twitter already. A weak-minded little troll with nothing to say].
[Update, January 2022: “@slatfascists” has changed its Twitter name to “@DaveAFAF”]
Update, 27 April 2020
Well, Ben Gidley is, sadly, still around, but his main troll accounts on Twitter have been killed off: @inthesoupagain went up the chimney; @antinazisunited is permanently frozen though the tweets are mostly extant. @BobFromBrockley is still on Twitter, but revealed now as simply a pro-Israel account with some pathetic “non pasaran!” 1930s Popular Front stuff added (the Labour Party supporters on Twitter saw through “BobFromBrockley” long ago).
“Christine” or “@cdaargh” seems to have gone down the rabbithole or (very likely, I think) permanently up the chimney. Her last tweet was in early December 2019, i.e. over 4 months ago.
Seems that unprofessional NHS psychiatrist “Dr. Tim” (Tim G. Stevens, of Epping Forest/Chelmsford) cannot stop himself from commenting on me via Twitter. Having said that I am a “sad sack” (despite the fact that he is the one with a diagnosed mental problem, and is on medication for it), he now uses that other term of medical art, “batshit“, about me and others, while chatting on Twitter with a few Jews and yet another nut, a Balkan woman who is a convicted fraudster and embezzler and who claims to be a medical doctor as well as an MBA and various other things. She was convicted in 2013: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2448851/Ex-press-secretary-fleeced-UKIP-MEP-went-spending-spree-disapproving-policies.html
Were I not so lazy, I should probably see what the General Medical Council (GMC) has to say about Dr. Tim, but I cannot be bothered at present. After all, what goes around comes around, eventually.
I have suffered very deeply from mental health problems. At the age of 28 I finally broke. I was an outpatient at the wonderful facility of the Maudsley in South London. It was my BLESSING I got sick under a Labour government. Tony Blair was PM. I cannot stress this enough.
The tweeter above is not Jewish, certainly not full, but has been a consistent ally of the Jewish lobby in the UK, especially but not exclusively on Twitter. I believe that she has tweeted against me a few times in the past but her main focus has been to defeat the Corbyn wing of the Labour Party.
Synchronicity. I was recently rereading the memoirs of Hans Eysenck [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Eysenck] who was based for a long time at the Maudsley Hospital (near Denmark Hill, South London).
People with mental problems, and who are not Jewish, often either attach themselves to Jews, Zionism, and Israel, or develop psychoses if they visit Israel. Israeli psychiatrists even have a special label they attach to such manifestations, i.e. “Jerusalem Syndrome”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_syndrome
What a nice person…Still, “it’s not her fault…she’s mentally ill“…I suppose…(or maybe she’s just not very nice…).
Update, 2 January 2021
Good grief! Another one!
Clinical depression is likely to be a major public-health problem in the wake of the pandemic. In an essay for @TimesMagazine, ahead of publication of my book, I describe what it’s like to be mentally ill. https://t.co/LPDtKZXRRJ
Kamm, half-Jewish, is a hypocrite who pretends to be pro-free speech, but consistently, in my view, manifests the reverse when —important point— the interests of Jews, the Jewish lobby, or Israel are involved. He made sure that he got quoted by the msm Press after I got disbarred in 2016, saying that he was “a near-absolutist on free speech” (but still commended my disbarment at the instigation of a pack of Jews!) See: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
Kamm has also said that persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz should not have been prosecuted in 2018 for having posted songs satirizing a few of the many hundreds of proven “holocaust” fakes and frauds. Superficially, a pro-free speech position, but not when you understand that what he wants (and proposed) is for major online and offline platforms to quietly ban Alison Chabloz (and others) from saying (or singing) anything! A prize half-Jew hypocrite.
He has now monetized his own mental condition!

Ironic…if I am not mistaken, that “antifascist” tweeter, “@jdpoc” (who in the past has tweeted against me) was quite recently tweeting something online about his own mental “issues”…
Update, 17 February 2021
“Aargh aargh AAARGH!@cdaarghgone girl. that is to say, I’ve left twitter for good. I hope. For the sake of my mental health. Good luck, and fight fascism.“
Looks as though @cdaargh has finally taken her pills and her bottle of whisky back down the rabbit-hole.
In other news, it seems that “Dr. Dim” (see above) has had to apologise to persecuted satirical singer Alison Chabloz, and delete one or more tweets about her, after the NHS trust that employs him took up the matter of his online abusiveness. Talk about eating crow! The GMC should take up the matter.
Update, 21 June 2021
Well, “Dr. Dim” continues to tweet occasionally about Alison Chabloz and others, though I have not seen much about me since Dr Dim was forced, quite a while ago, by his NHS employers, to delete a tweet mentioning me, satirical singer Alison Chabloz, and Jo Stowell (photographer, formerly of Bristol). He lied about all three of us supposedly having threatened him and his family. The bastard even gratefully accepted tweets in commiseration from a number of mugs who follow his Twitter account.
Alison Chabloz got an official apology from “Dr Dim” (Dr. Tim G. Stevens), via his NHS trust, but so far neither he nor his Trust has apologized directly to me. Well, I am not a Jew, so do not harp on about “apologies” all the time.What goes around comes around, in the end…
In the meantime, “Dr. Dim” continues to transgress the NHS code of practice for psychiatrists by publicly posting “diagnoses” of people who are not his patients, and whom he has never even met. Below, George Galloway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway], a candidate in the 1 July 2021 by-election at Batley and Spen, gets the Dr. Dim treatment:
I do wonder if, despite his rampant egomania and self-aggrandisement, he’s all that well.
Update, 16 October 2021: As noted now in the body of the text, “Slatfascists” has closed down his Twitter account, possibly because his identity was allegedly revealed recently, though I have no idea whether the identity “revealed” by a couple of tweeters was the correct one.
Good riddance; and I hope permanent riddance. Unfortunately, because the “Slatfascists” Twitter account has “gone up the chimney”, none of his malicious and unpleasant tweets can now be seen.
Memory lasts longer than tweets…
[note: as updated in the body of the text, “Slatfascists” weakly decided to crawl back to Twitter only a day after having “left”, and continues to troll, pointlessly, as before, now sub nom “@DaveAFAF”]
Update, 27 December 2021
I had noticed that you weren't active on Twitter lately & wondered if this was due to ill health or a sudden burst of sanity. I'm sorry it's the former.
No need to comment, methinks (Stevens is also now suffering from, he has previously tweeted, possibly-terminal cancer).
I see, looking at the above blog post for the first time in a couple of months, that some of the others have also reduced their Twitter trolling as a result of various events.
“The Balkan woman” (Balkan fraud) has not tweeted for about a month, and little before that over the past year, as a result (presumably) of the alleged murder of her son a year or so ago.
“@Frankiescar” (Andrew Roberjot), the “legal people” groupie, troll and Zionist pest, who actually turned up to gloat when I was disbarred by a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in late 2016), has disengaged, at least in public, from the “CAA” fake charity. He rarely if ever mentions me now; I even see the odd tweet from him with which I can agree! Mirabile dictu!
Are you for real ? They are the very definition of restrictions !
In fact, Roberjot/@frankiescar has, like so many who attack me, suffered a serious “medical episode” (necessitating a heart operation). #TenGreenBottles…
More about that “Dr. Julia Grace Patterson”, who selflessly (in her own opinion) gave up her medical career in order to spout rubbish, sell facemasks and start a supposedly pro-NHS pressure group…
She is now supported by Communist hypocrite and SAGE bureaucrat, Professor Susan Michie (who wants an almost endless “lockdown”, endless restrictions on personal liberty etc):
The Michie woman was even once banned from the UK Communist Party conference for being too extreme! Now she advises the Boris-idiot government of fools.
The fact is that the man at the bar of the local pub knows almost as much about “Covid” as some GPs, and as much as some non-practising “doctors” who run pressure groups and sell things such as cloth facemasks.
It would be interesting to know exactly what (if any) post-qualification medical career that young Patterson woman has had. I suspect not much of one.
Unfortunately, people tend to take “doctor”-somebody as someone who actually knows something in some depth. Often not so (and that is without even looking at the “doctors” of various non-medical subjects who (despite not being medical doctors, academics, or people in religious orders), insist on calling themselves “doctor” this or that on Twitter. I have blogged in the past about political bad jokes such as “Doctor” Louise Raw. Just one of many.
Anyway, back to the (other) lunatics who have (more often) attacked me online.
“Slatfascists” and some others (eg some crazed and apparently incontinent old woman to whom he talks online) only occasionally mention me now, probably because they realize that every time I or my blog are mentioned, my readership increases.
Mike Stuchbery occasionally mentions me, but not so often as at one time; he too probably wants to starve my blog of the “oxygen of publicity”, and has apparently taken up running, with almost (?) manic fervour. As far as I know, his proposed legal action against fake nationalist “Tommy Robinson” has still not come to court, a couple of years on from when he and Roanna Carleton-Taylor (“@oilpaintwitch”) collected nearly £12,000 via GoFundMe for that purpose.
In fact the said Roanna, “Witch of Peace” as was, has had the ludicrously-misnamed “anti-fascist” “organization” (a handful of lunatics), “Resisting Hate” she ran booted off Twitter. Poetic justice…
I have heard little from crazed non-Jewish Zionist idiot Louise Mensch, though I saw in some newspaper that her wealthy Jewish-American husband has managed to get rid of her by divorce. In political terms, she is, if possible, even more of a nullity than she has been for the past 9 years. No-one takes her even semi-seriously now.
As for serial troll Ben Gidley, the minor Jew academic, a few people better-known to the public than me (eg Peter Hitchens) have exposed on Twitter his, Gidley’s, fake Twitter personas, Hitchens perhaps having seen my blog, or former Twitter exposure of that horrible little pest.
A number of crazy or just unpleasant persons who have attacked or insulted me on Twitter have died, and/or suffered other hits, since I posted the main article. As for the rest, such as Kamm, they are still around, but rarely if ever mention me now.
Happy New Year!
Update, 2 December 2022
A few updated facts about those mentioned in the original post.
“@TimGStevens”. “Dr. Dim” has not mentioned me on Twitter since his health deteriorated and he was hospitalized suffering from both delerium and some kind of cancer, though after a long break, he now again tweets occasionally, about one tweet every week or so.
Maybe he learned his lesson after committing a number of unprofessional acts, including having falsely accused singer Alison Chabloz, a lady photographer from Bristol, and me of (all) having threatened his family. He was too lacking in class to apologise directly, but Alison Chabloz received a formal apology, nominally on the bastard’s behalf, sent by the NHS trust for which he works or worked.
Why is an unprofessional loony like that even employed by the NHS and/or Chelmsford and Essex (C&E) Trust? “Answer came there none“.
“@cdaargh” seems not to have tweeted since late 2020, and her Twitter account is locked.
The “Balkan fraud” mentioned on the blog has tweeted only a few times since July 2022. I feel restricted in what I can write about her, because the trial of a couple of defendants accused of having stabbed her son to death over two years ago is still upcoming, set down for some date in 2023.
I probably could write more about her without falling foul of “contempt of court” (she will not, I apprehend, be a major witness anyway) but prefer to leave it until after that trial concludes (assuming that it proceeds). I may have a few more interesting things to say about her then.
In the meantime, said woman has been in hospital for several months, and has tweeted that the nurses and doctors in that hospital have deliberately stabbed her with needles, causing her to go into a coma for 8 weeks. Latterly, she also blames the Metropolitan Police for sending her into a coma (because of “stress”), and says that the police are “harassing” her and her family (what family?).
I expect that I would be criticized for being too suspicious, were I to say that I suspect the genesis of a spurious medical negligence claim and (and/or) another type of money claim (which I shall not specify today).
“Judge Michael Gledhill QC told Badzak that she would have been jailed for a year had she not been the sole carer for her 15-year-old son, who is studying his GCSEs.
Instead, he suspended her 12-month month prison sentence for two years to ‘avoid wrecking her son’s life’.
Sentencing, Judge Gledhill told her: ‘In November 2011 you were taken on by Gerard Batten on a three-month contract and you were to be paid by the European Parliament.
‘You knew there would be a delay in payments and you were not to be paid until January. In fact, the European Parliament paid people earlier than expected in December.
‘You doctored your online bank statement with your NatWest account by removing the £2,500 payment so someone looking at the statement would think it had not been paid.
‘That was flagrant dishonesty.
‘In due course Mr Batten was good enough to give you another three-month contract and you threw that back in his face by continuing the lie.
‘By the end of the period he realised you were not working together as satisfactorily as he had hoped when he decided not to issue another three-month contract.
‘What did you do? You then took him to an employment tribunal and lost those proceedings.
‘You reported him to the police for fraud, who investigated and took no further action. You issued high court proceedings against him as well.
You did that to deflect attention from your own dishonesty by mounting a wholesale attack on his character.
‘He said he felt he was on trial and that was your doing.
‘I am going to suspend the sentence only because of your son. He is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing and I’m not going to wreck his life by sending his mother to prison.‘”
[Daily Mail]
“Despite having an MBA qualification, she claimed she was ‘absolutely useless’ with money and ‘never knew what was in her bank account.’
Arlette Piercy, defending Badzak, told the court that she suffered from significant health problems including depression, which had been exacerbated as a result of the proceedings.
Badzak, of Kilburn, northwest London, denied forgery and fraud but was convicted by a jury.“
[Daily Mail]
The half-dozen “readers’ comments” are amusing.
Said woman often mentions her MBA, as well as her supposed medical qualifications from (I believe) former Yugoslavia. It may be true, though one has to ask why someone with such qualifications was working as a poorly-paid secretary on a 3-month contract. I believe that, for the past many years (about 9 or 10 years), the woman has been living off State benefits of various kinds.
A 2019 Twitter spat with UK-based minor academic Marko Attila Hoare (who, ironically, himself tweeted against me in past years):
You have a criminal conviction in the UK for fraud and are the former press officer for a far-right party that you yourself label as 'Nazi'. Sure, let people draw their own conclusions ! https://t.co/cmRWc0saZa
Andrew Roberjot aka “@frankiescar”. Since the days when the once-described “drunken bankrupt former businessman” constantly trolled my Twitter account, and even turned up at my Bar Disciplinary Tribunal to gloat (((as “they” would))) [for details of that case, see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/], “@frankiescar” has, like so many others of his type, suffered serious health problems, and even had surgery. He seems to have distanced himself (at least in public) from the worst Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter, and has not mentioned me for a long time (that in fact has applied to most of “them” in the past 6-9 months).
“@DaveAFAF” aka “slatfascists”. This one has apparently recently been expelled from Twitter. He saw it coming, somehow. His Twitter account does not even say “account suspended” but just “this account doesn’t exist“. In a way, it is incredible that the unpleasant mentally-afflicted bastard was not expelled years ago. All he did (apart from pretending to be an “Elite Dangerous” “space cadet”) was troll people and/or tweet insults about better people than himself. No ideas about society, not even any intelligent political or social commmentary. Typical “antifa” idiot.
Fully expecting that returning wrong 'uns and relentless Nazi trolls will soon nuke my account with BS reports.
If so, it is what it is. Unlike those sad idiots, I won't set up other accounts.
I'll watch the demise of Twitter from the outside.
“@DaveAFAF” (deceased, though sadly not literally, yet), tweeted, prior to his departure, that he intended to appeal. I presume that he was messaged by Twitter in advance. Anyway, for now it is “good riddance” time…
[“Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]
[Update, 3 December 2022:unfortunately, it seems that the troll “@DaveAFAF” has been allowed back on Twitter, at least for the time being, and so far confined to retweeting tweets of others]
That’s all, folks! (for now).
The Elon Musk risorgimento at Twitter is like a breath of fresh air, though I suspect that the Jews are working day and night to destabilize the new order or to influence Elon Musk.
Update, 4 December 2022
To be clear, I will appeal any such suspension on the grounds that it will have been caused by bad faith actors, and attempt to highlight such shenanigans in respectable media outlets. https://t.co/uU7ntpQAC1
Well, “@DaveAFAF” now spins his temporary expulsion as if he himself deleted his Twitter account:
Lol, Daft Nazis and their silly speculation about why I deactivated for the last week.
Had to throw myself full pelt into a project that needs delivering before xmas (including working most of last weekend) & the best way to avoid this distraction is temporarily nuking it.
Well, prolific tweeter and political oddity (though not obviously mentally-disordered) Marko Attila Hoare has, for the first time in a few years (I think) tweeted about me:
Seven years ago, there was a very vicious clique of anti-Semites on Twitter who harassed people together: David Carter (@SplottDave), Joanne Stowell, Charles Frith, Paul Woodlock (@smeggypants), Alison Chabloz, Ian Millard, Jason Schumann. All suspended. Only Damian Read left.
Apart from the fact that the “clique” did not exist (the tweeters mentioned were just individuals, not closely or organizationally connected with each other), and apart from the fact that none of those mentioned could be described as “vicious“, I do not recall that any of those people “harassed” anyone. Rather the contrary.
I myself have never heard of Damian Read. As for the others, I recall the others from Twitter. A few of them tweeted to me occasionally while I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018, and I have not bothered to get myself reinstated).
The only one of that list I have met in person was persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, and that encounter was a 5-minute chat at the now-defunct London Forum, at which I gave a legal talk in 2017.
In theory, I could sue Marko Attila Hoare in libel and, now being very impecunious, would have little to lose, but I do not play games of that sort, luckily for Hoare, who might find such an action expensive even if I lost. Well, I have now a year, minus a few days, in which to decide on that, but I doubt that I shall bother in the end.
Update, 20 May 2023
A few updates, in fact.
I have some interesting thoughts, and information, about Jasna Badzak, but will wait until the trial of those accused of killing her son ends, which will not be for months (it has not even started so far).
Then we have “Dr. Dim” (Tim G. Stevens). He, it seems, is actually addressing the Royal College of Psychiatrists, no less, at their conference in Liverpool in July; on “professional practice” etc.
I’m honoured to be speaking on 11 July at the Congress, about ‘Mental illness and literature: tackling stigma and exploring professional practice’. #RCPsychIChttps://t.co/B4Q6C8XFbh
I never did get that apology from him or his employers in Essex, after he made a completely untrue and, indeed, crazed allegation that singer Alison Chabloz and photographer Jo Stowell (and me) were either threatening to attack, or actually planning to attack, his family!
In relation to that outright and loony lie, Alison Chabloz made official complaint and eventually received apology from “Dim’s” employing NHS trust (he was too lacking in courage and class to do it himself), I was given a half-apology by the NHS trust concerned, was told that the matter was being investigated, but in the end (as I expected), it died on the vine. The third person libelled did not want the bother of making a complaint.
Stevens had to delete his lying tweets, though.
In between then and now, Stevens has actually been hospitalized suffering from serious delusions, but now seems to be ready to pontificate to his fellow-psychiatrists, though he tweets only occasionally now.
As with so much in modern Britain, you could hardly make up such nonsensical behaviour as displayed by Stevens.
Looks as if at least one other person (unnamed, for now) who used to tweet unpleasantly about me is having to face the fact that his days are numbered by reason of a medical condition. #TenGreenBottles…

I want to send my sympathies to Jonathan as I also as many have had mental health issues watching what’s been happening .

I am an assistant professor at Columbia Business School. I am a father, a husband, an uncle, and a son. I am a forty-year-old man, and last week I found myself crying in front of a group of complete strangers.
Well, it took that one (above) another 5 or 6 weeks actually to shuffle off (Twitter/X) but “they” do tend to cling on like limpets (or should that be “leeches”?)…
“I have decided to leave Twitter. This is not a decision I made on a whim, or out of vindictiveness. This is something that took hours of careful deliberation amongst myself. I am doing this for my own benefit.
I am doing this because my depression, my anxiety, and my extreme bouts of anger are doing damage to the fight against antisemitism and other causes I care about, and to friendships (if online friendships can even be called that) I valued. I don’t like that my personal issues have become a source of drama and division. I want to be an asset. Not a liability. That is why I am exiting. If I do return here, it will be when I’m in a healthier state of mind. I will leave this up for a day or so before deactivating.”
As if anyone wants to read that loonie’s outpourings.
Update, 7 February 2024
Well, the “Balkan Fraud”, Jasna Badzak, is still occasionally tweeting. As I suspected a year ago, she was thinking of making both a medical negligence claim (based on her bizarre allegation that NHS staff deliberately and repeatedly stabbed her or injected her with something while she was in hospital), or a Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority claim based around the fact of her son’s murder by a gang of blacks a few years ago. I think that she also has it, or had it, in mind to sue the police, but that is a guess on my part. She has now tweeted this:
In the meantime time I have lost use of both of my hands and have to every six month get nerve blocks in my both hands from specialist medical doctors injections to suppress unbelievable pain. My Sven would ask me ‘Mum, who did that to you? pic.twitter.com/hwhGgXg9jK
Please tell me who repeatedly stabbed your hands for 5 days destroying your nerves on both hands?.’ Yet despite of medical records from my GP, my various neurologists, MRIs, NerveConduction Studies and many other proofs including police’s crime reference number pic.twitter.com/Z1fWjo7vRi
and police investigation CICA (Criminal Compensation Authority) did not pay me anything despite the evidence and the fact I will never ever be able to do anything with my hands including get a glass of water to take my medication or tissue to wipe tears from crying for my Sven. pic.twitter.com/P0jgP3Irkk
“…did not pay me anything“…That is her beef. She wants money, always, and preferably other people’s…
Looks like the criminal injuries people turned down her claim, if one was made. I can guess why.
I appeared as Counsel in very few Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority matters, but recall that one reason for not paying an award, or reducing one actually made, is because the applicant is of “bad character” (which includes but is not limited to criminal convictions).
“Jasna Badzak, 42, fed Gerard Batten a “pack of lies” about how her wages from the European Parliament had not been paid and she was too poor to travel to work, a court heard.
In fact she had doctored her online bank statement to make it appear as if the £2,500 payment had not been received.
Taken in by her story, the MEP loaned her the apparently outstanding wages, together with a separate £500, believing she would repay him after receiving the cash from the European Parliament.
Records show that in the meantime Badzak enjoyed spending sprees in Gucci and Harrods, Southwark Crown Court was told.
She only offered to reimburse Mr Batten after police began an investigation, and has yet to repay a penny to the MEP.
Badzak, who fled war-torn Yugoslavia 20 years ago and whose relatives died in Nazi concentration camps, said her relationship with the politician deteriorated after she was asked to work on a policy document entitled “Dismantling Multiculturalism” in February 2011.
“[the judge at the Crown Court said that] ‘You doctored your online bank statement with your NatWest account by removing the £2,500 payment so someone looking at the statement would think it had not been paid. That was flagrant dishonesty.
In due course Mr Batten was good enough to give you another three-month contract and you threw that back in his face by continuing the lie.’
When Mr Batten decided not to issue another three-month contract after that, Badzak took him to an employment tribunal and lost, the court heard.
She also reported him to the police for fraud, but detectives investigated and took no further action.
Judge Gledhill added: ‘You issued high court proceedings against him as well. You did that to deflect attention from your own dishonesty by mounting a wholesale attack on his character.He said he felt he was on trial and that was your doing.
I am going to suspend the sentence only because of your son. He is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing and I’m not going to wreck his life by sending his mother to prison’…“
[Daily Telegraph]
Badzak’s conviction dates from October 2013.
As to whether she really has qualifications (from Yugoslavia) as a medical doctor, and whether she really has an MBA from somewhere else, God knows. If so, why was she working for a modest sum as a temporary office-bod? She seems to have been living for at least a decade on various UK state benefits. We shall probably never know.
She used to tweet very disparagingly about me, that I was “just a fool” etc. Very silly.
#TenGreenBottles…
Update, 10 February 2024
[originally posted on Twitter/X in 2023, but retweeted by political academic Matt Goodwin today]
Well, the Balkan Fraud (Jasna Badzak) has now set up a GoFundMe appeal, and numerous mugs have donated already. She seeks £40,000, ostensibly in order to get medical treatment and generally to “get well” so that she can track down those who appear to have escaped trial for the murder of her son (I believe that three others have been convicted at trial, which trial or trials received enormous publicity in the Sun, Daily Mail etc). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c03xe0j0xwro.
Strange GoFundMe appeal. After all, her medical treatment is free in the UK; you do not have to pay for it. Also, how will giving Badzak money help catch those responsible for her son’s murder?
It looks to me like a kind of scam, frankly. Still, there it is, genuine or not. I think certainly not.
Among the mugs who have already donated, I notice well-known newspaper and online scribblers Carole Cadwalladr, Peter Jukes and (assuming it is the political journalist and broadcaster) Michael Crick.
Woke up again only to have another mental breakdown
And what brought it on was the crushing realization that, for all of my 38 years on this planet, I'm a lonely bloated sack of nothing with (probably) no future
Once my dad and my dog are gone, I will truly be alone
Balkan fraud Jasna Badzak continues to try to scam money out of kind-hearted but unthinking members of the public, having so far failed to get a criminal injuries compensation award (re. the murder of her son a few years ago), and also having, it seems, failed to sue either the NHS or Metropolitan Police for supposedly having “injected her with needles for 5 days” and thus having (allegedly) sent her into a coma and (later) paralysed her.
She claims to be unable to lift a glass or wipe away tears, yet tweets several times daily, asking for money for her GoFundMe appeal. Dozens of —in my opinion— mugs have actually now donated a total of nearly £3,000, in only two months or so.
Somewhere between a lunatic and a horrible snake, in my opinion.
Update, 6 May 2024
I noticed a while ago a fanatical and violent Jew-Zionist, “@leekern13”, on Twitter/X. He has in the past expressed incitement to violence, i.e. to the effect that “antisemites” “should be hurt” etc. That same Jew has now emigrated from his “native” London to Tel Aviv, from where he tweets to the effect that the (UK) Press and TV, and Twitter/X users, “are Hamas”.
[Tweet in question later deleted]
Distasteful and, like so very many other of the most fanatical Jew-Zionists (as shown above in this blog post), mentally afflicted.
Incidentally, this is what the Jew says about Britain, where he was presumably born, brought up, educated (probably free of charge, thanks to those British “antisemitic” taxpayers), and where he was given his career opportunities:
I’m leaving Britain and moving to Israel
Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving
Britain is a dying society
I’ll be fine in Israel
It’s the most dynamic, creative and positive place I’ve ever been – even though surrounded by Islamic fundamentalist psychopaths…
Even if it wasn’t for the antisemitism I’d be leaving Britain is a dying society I’ll be fine in Israel It’s the most dynamic, creative and positive place I’ve ever been – even though surrounded by Islamic fundamentalist psychopaths who daily try to destroy it .
You can forget the power of positivity and optimism. It’s become taboo in England.
That’s one thing I’ll never understand or make peace with. Britain is a shit hole – but if you try to express positivity, pride and optimism in the idea of salvaging something good about ourselves and improving things – you’ll be shamed and beaten down by smug, elitist morons who have a stranglehold over our culture – a culture that they have made desperately dull and oppressive.
Britain is a place that hates individuals who stick their head above the parapet, hates self-belief, hates pride, and it hates success.
Our enemies have contributed to this grim culture of floundering confusion and self-loathing. Useful idiots do the donkey work. And our leadership seem to lack entirely any connection with the grandeur or grand ideas that drive not just a society forward – but a civilisation.“
[Lee Kern]
Like so many of his type, he hates the UK, hates Europe, hates the Arabs and other Muslims (needless to say); basically hates anything not Jewish.
When Israel is destroyed, what is the betting that —if he survives— he will come crawling back to this country that he hates?
Indeed, his recent tweets sometimes seem to be posted from Tel Aviv, and sometimes from the UK (presumably from the North London/South Hertfordshire “Borshch Belt”).
Does he even know what country he is in, or has he “emigrated” to Israel while really still spending much of his time in the UK that he obviously despises (or purports to despise)? (cf. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”).
A complete loonie, like so many others.

Just typed this out as part of a (friendly) DM exchange, and it occurs to me I should probably pin it, just in case anyone wonders how and why I spend all my time tweeting instead of doing something productive. pic.twitter.com/zYOGz9pqle

This one has been tweeting, mainly though not entirely in the “antifascist”/Jewish-lobby interest, for years. Turns out that he is yet another one with what he himself describes as “very severe mental health issues“.
Someone should do a Ph.D. thesis on the links between mental problems, “antifascist” tendencies, and Jew-Zionism. Might be groundbreaking.

Another:
I wasn't going to say anything but I know a lot of you care and I don't want to keep you in the dark. I've been having suicidal thoughts the last 24 hours and I'm gonna get help for it. This might be my last tweet for a little while but I'll come back better. Love you all.

Another one:
A small note: the only benefit of allowing Maginn to see my TL is to be able to cleanse my feed of those who like or repeat what he says. Instant block. I’m taking action to protect my mental health.
Myerson, an obsessed Jew-Zionist who tweets up to 100x a day on occasion, is a member of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” and “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, is a barrister based mainly in Leeds, and a Recorder (p/t judge) who has recently been rebuked by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office for his toxic social media presence.
“Nichols grew up in a mostly secular Catholic family with some Irish heritage. At the age of 22, Nichols started attending weekly services at the Manchester Reform Synagogue; after attending the services, she claimed to have felt more peace than she ever had growing up.[31] She converted to Judaism in 2014 and celebrated her bat mitzvah on her 27th birthday.[32]
Since converting to Judaism, Nichols has faced ongoing abuse for her beliefs, including anti-Semitism from a Conservative Party council candidate for the 2021 Warrington Borough Council election. The candidate sent a message via Twitter to Nichols saying “Keep the Aryan race going”.[33]
In 2021, it was reported that Nichols has post-traumatic stress disorder, having been forced to cut a parliamentary visit to Gibraltar short following a “mental health episode“.[34]
In 2022, Nichols opened up about her struggles with abusive messages and threats of violence she has faced, after a BBC investigation found that she was in the top 5 backbench MPs for receiving abusive and toxic tweets on Twitter.[35][36]
In a 2021 interview, Nichols stated that she identifies as bisexual.[37]
In October 2019, Nichols tweeted that a group of S.S. Lazio fans who had been filmed making Nazi salutes in Glasgow should “get their heads kicked in”. Nichols defended her comments in December that year: “These were people doing Nazi salutes on the streets of Britain… As a Jewish person whose grandfather fought in World War Two, ultimately sometimes I believe that fascism has to be physically confronted”.[28][29]
An article published in The Daily Telegraph in 2019 reported that Nichols had described members of the Green Party as “bourgeois scab fucks” and told one Twitter user, “Hope you lose your virginity”.[30]“
[Wikipedia]
A Labour MP…what does that say about not only the Labour Party but the whole political system?
🧵 Listen, I’m going to just start with an apology and say I’m really sorry for having some stupid meltdown on today of all days. I’m genuinely very, very tired. As all of you, I’ve been dreading today and it’s got to me. But I’m sorry truly for diverting from what matters.
I had never heard of him but, now having read the Wikipedia entry, realize that I have seen him in both Inspector Morse and Poirot.
Apparently, “In his autobiography, Eccleston described chronic anorexia, body dysmorphia and depression, and said that he had considered suicide. Speaking about his poor mental health, he wrote that he was “a lifelong body hater”.[74] He was hospitalised in 2016 with severe clinical depression.[75]” [Wikipedia].
Pitiable fake “historian” Mike Stuchbery has apparently departed “permanently” from Twitter/X and has migrated to “Blue Sky”, where he can post “antifascist” messages unchallenged by anyone social-national, or knowledgeable about modern history; he can now continue to “report” anyone whose opinions he dislikes (Twitter just ignored him in recent years).
Sad and half-crazed Stuchbery, now living off the generous German social welfare system (generous enough for him to have, he says, “spent a few weeks in northern Italy” a while ago) has recently moved into a new apartment (presumably in Stuttgart) with a new girlfriend. He is still trying to beg money from mugs online, though.
As for “DaveAFAF”, once known as “Slatfascists”, the Mancunian loony “antifascist”…
“Dave. Anti-Fascist As Feck. 𝕏@DaveAFAF
David. Not using this cesspool now that the owner has ruined it. Find me where skies are blue – same username.“
[“DaveAFAF” posting on Blue Sky].
So that idiot has also gone from Twitter/X. I read (true or not) that the police are now interested in some of his activities.
What about Jasna Badzak, the Balkan Fraud? Well, she has not tweeted since May 2024, and her attempted GoFundMe scam has not raised the £40,000 she wanted, but only £3,542, with the last mug-donation £25, some months ago. All other donations ceased nearly 6 months ago.
I have no idea whether Jasna Badzak has “shuffled off” in general, or just online, but quite likely the former.
“Dr. Dim” Stevens has not tweeted since May 2024, and only twice since February 2024.
A few others have “gone up the chimney” since they started to post and plot against me. #TenGreenBottles…
Update, 28 November 2024
Mentally-weird “grifter” and self-proclaimed “historian” and “journalist”, Mike Stuchbery (a stand-in temp schoolteacher a decade ago, sacked from that job after a short while, and “economically-inactive” since then) continues to try to grift from his new online platform on Bluesky, but is now once again, for the (?) 20th or 30th time, making himself out to be more than the straw man he is:
I feature (very, very, very inaccurately) in said documentary. If Elon gets me hurt by some deranged chud, the noise I'll make is unbelievable. leftfootforward.org/2024/11/elon…
Stuchbery threatening Elon Musk. As the Germans might say, unglaublich! I am sure that Musk must be quaking in his boots, as straw man Stuchbery threatens to, er, “make a noise“… Quite funny, really. Keep taking the tablets…
A reminder about how Stuchbery often makes empty threats:
Even uses their horrible insult-language. Total loonie.
Update, 18 February 2025
Despite feeling crushingly bleak within myself, I’m hoping things will be a bit easier with a bit of sun and light. I never used to like summer, now I feel like my life depends upon it.
Online pseudo-political “grifter” “Supertanskiii” is, apparently, a SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder”) sufferer, as well.

Jasna Badzak, the “Balkan Fraud”, no longer tweets. She has not tweeted for 10 months. She may even have “snuffed it”, in the vernacular. Either way, another one of my enemies and horribly obsessed trolls gone, it seems. #TenGreenBottles

Paging “Dr. Dim” (Tim) Stevens of Essex (see this blog post, ante); he (himself a mental case, as he publicly admitted online) is a fervent advocate of electro-convulsive “therapy”…
“Dr. Dim”, possibly partly-Jewish (it was never established for sure) was one of the cabal of pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby Twitter trolls who often mentioned me and usually insulted me on Twitter and elsewhere. He even made up completely contrived, completely non-existent “threats” allegedly made by me, Alison Chabloz, and another, and apparently reported me (and others) to the police (who, however, realized that the supposed threats were false; the police never even contacted me, though Stevens was not arrested as he should have been (his NHS employers did apologize on his behalf, though).
I do not know whether “Dr. Dim” Stevens is still around, or whether, as he feared, he developed early dementia and/or died of cancer. Still, he’s gone from Twitter/X, having not tweeted for over 9 months. Good riddance. #TenGreenBottles.
Update, 21 June 2025
I was ‘close to suicide’ in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
The NHS is not in any way fit for purpose when it comes to mental health crises.
There is presently a SIX MONTH wait on the NHS for an initial appointment with a psychiatrist.
This is not a tenable way to run a dignified health…
He is still supporting Israel, even its Gaza quasi-genocide.
Update, 2 October 2025
The last 6 days have been absolutely brutal mental health-wise:
• I find world suicide awareness day just so unbelievably triggering. I’m sure it is a net good.. but with ‘story’ after ‘story’ on LinkedIn.. I was like “that could have been me.. yep that one could have been me..…
…and the one below saw fit to tweet, after either my 2016 disbarment or my free speech trial in 2023, in a hostile manner; I think his tweets said that I should have been given a far harsher sentence in 2024 (sentencing hearing). Apparently a retired cop of some kind, he purports to be an expert on policing etc:
Folks today I chilled & I drove for 2/3hrs for one of my best friends memorial; en-route I thought a lot privately; my heart is heavy we will never talk again he stood by me for 50yrs when I was broken & after when I repaired myself I’ve no real family & he attended my police…

[“Police Review described Brennan as probably being the best known face and voice in British policing and said that “Protect the Protectors” was the primary reason the government of the day reversed its policy on issuing police officers with a side-handled baton which had been originally refused.[citation needed]
Some members of the Police Federation, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and the Home Office were critical of Brennan’s outspoken positions.[citation needed] One Police Federation member[who?] was quoted as saying that Brennan “gives outrageous soundbites and simplistic solutions to complex issues. I don’t think he represents the views of many officers.”[2]
In 2013, The Independent offered critical coverage questioning whether Brennan is a convenient “rent-a-mouth” for the media pointing out his propensity to comment on a wide array of matters unrelated to policing, ranging from asylum-seekers to prison gyms. The newspaper also suggested that some in the police force viewed Brennan as “an unelected, unrepresentative, hardline reactionary.”[2]]
[Wikipedia]
Actually, I do not disagree with all of his tweets that I have seen, but his shameless kow-towing to the Jew/Israel lobby after either my free speech trial or my (wrongful/unlawful) disbarment of 2016 makes him ridiculous, in my view.
Update, 27 October 2025
Another one…(or two)
When I was stressed and in a bad place I avoided social media thinking it would help. It didn't. It wasn't the source of my stress. Moving our reality to an online world is making us miserable. If this app is the source give it up. If not people here will be there for you.
I happened to notice this piece from 2019 by one Lee “Budgie” Barnett, in which the individual relates how he had a “breakdown” about a decade ago from now:
That individual is or was a Jew who seemed, judging from his cautious tweets, somehow to know something of my political history going back, it appeared, to the 1970s.
Looking at his Twitter account (years ago), I noticed that he seemed to live not far from my own one-time home at Little Venice, London; either that neighbourhood, or nearby St. John’s Wood. During the years 2014-2020, he tweeted about me occasionally, talking to various other Jew-Zionists.
I notice also that the individual’s tweets and other online activity stopped about three years ago, so it looks as though he will not be chatting to other Jews about me in future.
What struck me, apart from the violent and cowardly attack on the girl victim and a friend of hers, was how useless every public service was proven to be. I leave aside my surprise (and disapproval) that a girl of 18 is in a Manchester nightclub at 0330 and leaves on foot to walk home.
Read the report above.
Initially, the victim and her friend (apparently a teenage boy who was also a victim), were helped by some civilian volunteers who offered to call an ambulance. The victims refused because they were told that there would be a 2 hour wait. Two hours! The victim(s) then went to hospital by taxi. The hospital simply dispensed eye drops and told the girl to go home. When she returned to hospital a day or so later, she was told that she has a blood clot on one eye. The police were informed of the attack, but no police officer has spoken to the victim. The victim utilized social media, as a result of which a witness has come forward. The police have made no comment to the newspapers. The local council has offered to check cctv for film of the attack or suspects.
In case anyone knows anything and, by some statistical miracle, reads this blog, the main suspect is white, about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and was wearing a pink T-shirt. I am no detective, but I should have thought that the starting point would be the nightclub interior cctv…
My point in writing about this is not just because the behaviour of the criminals outrages me (and makes me wonder whether flogging should be reintroduced as suitably condign punishment in such cases) and not just because I feel sorry for the girl (and her friend). My point is that this case shows that, all too often, things are just not working in our society.
In the case displayed here, the girl was let down by general public safety (police, primarily), by the ambulance service, by the NHS hospital A & E service, by the police. Had the perpetrators been caught, if they are caught now, the CPS and magistrates will no doubt also let her down.
As Napoleon is supposed to have said, “there are many reasons for failure, but never an excuse.” Funding for public services has been cut drastically in the past decade. That is obviously a factor. How, though, does that explain (still less excuse) the “polyclinic” approach apparently adopted by the hospital, or its failure to make a proper diagnosis? I concede that my knowledge of clinical-medical matters is limited, but even so…
Is lack of funding of police personnel really the only reason why the victim has not been interviewed? Yes, she was knocked unconscious, but still might recall identifying details from before that. Also, it would reassure her that she is not alone in a jungle.
Is the police force doing what it can (eg checking nightclub cctv) to track down the suspects? Why was the social media appeal left to the victim to do?
One sees everywhere, now, “things not working right”, from the NHS and police, through rail and road maintenance, every aspect of the justice system (from CPS and police to sentencing, probation and prisons), the postal service (still mostly OK), the planning system, education at every level, the DWP and its post-2005 “torture the unemployed and disabled” ethos, the armed forces, Parliament. Everything, pretty much; and it is unlikely that a government headed by Boris-Idiot will be able (or even try) to improve matters.
My feeling is that the UK is still in many respects in that state of which a 1960s senior civil servant said (I think, to Anthony Sampson) that his job was “the management of decline”, but more so. Further down the steepening slide. The migration-invasion of the blacks and browns, the destruction of culture in the msm etc, have accelerated that process.
Only a truly focussed social national government can fix this country.
Afterthought
I should not like it thought that my criticisms devolve mainly on individuals working in public service. No doubt most of those who work in the police, NHS etc do their best most of the time. I criticize, primarily, the system(s), the decisions taken, and the management.
I do not know Manchester well, in fact scarcely at all. I have been there a few times, many years ago now, driving straight to the Manchester County Court (there being a massive open-air car park nearby, close to an overhead rail line) and then driving away as quickly as possible. Apart from that, my only visit was to the Manchester Royal Infirmary in or about 1985, accompanying a member of the Georgian State Dance ensemble from the Soviet Union.
The dancer (who spoke only Russian and Georgian) had cut several fingers to the bone while practising, pre-performance, with his razor-sharp Georgian sword (the swords have to be that sharp in order to create showers of sparks during the mock fights that are part of the dance performance).
Even back then, some 34 years ago, we had to wait for about 30 mins or more to be seen, though the nurses tried to expedite it for me and were very pleasant (and very pretty, though perhaps my memory is sugar-coating things for me…).
