“journalist from The Telegraph, Allison Pearson, is under investigation by British police for an alleged “hate crime” due to a year-old social media post. The details surrounding the post are vague—Pearson has not been informed of the content or the identity of the person who made the accusation. This has drawn concerns about free speech and police overreach, with critics describing the situation as “Kafkaesque”stigation has sparked a, particularly regarding the lack of transparency in the process.“
I do not recall the “conservative” or other “free speech” supposed activists speaking up for me. Not Allison Pearson, not Toby Young or his “Free Speech Union”, not Matt Goodwin, not any of the Breitbart, “Prison Planet”, “Sargon of Akkad” lot, not Katie Hopkins— none of them. “Human rights” barristers? No. Not one. Not even, as far as I recall, Nick Griffin or other nationalist-type activists online. Not one.
Of course, the reason is clear. “The usual suspects”, aka (((“them”))) and their evil, malign influence over politics, the legal system, and the mainstream media, and even the “alt-Right” social media types (who fear losing their Twitter/X accounts and so much of their influence and/or income).

Ah. Yet I do not recall the Daily Telegraph speaking up for me; not when I was wrongfully and actually unlawfully disbarred in 2016, nor when the Jewish lobby (sub nom “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, actually a tiny though well-funded group) procured, via political interference, a prosecution of me using the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2002, s.127. As to the former, see the articles posted above. As to my 2016 disbarment, see below:
Exactly. I support Allison Pearson’s free speech, but she and her type, msm scribblers etc, mouthpieces of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, do not support mine. I therefore claim the moral high ground.
I would not have said this even 10 years ago, but the fact is that most of the police in the UK are now idiots, easily bamboozled by the Jewish lobby in particular. Also brainwashed by “diversity” and “inclusion” bs, imbibed during mandated “courses”.
In Allison Pearson’s case, she is (as one would expect from a UK msm scribbler) pro-Jewish lobby, so her “crime” or “non-crime hate offence” seems to have been based on the “diversity” nonsense.
Can one do better than recall the words of Voltaire over two centuries ago, and surely unnecessary for me to quote to my erudite readership…
The Jewish/Israel lobby is behind most of the attack on free speech in the UK, the same lobby that Allison Pearson seems to support. Poetic justice? Either you have freedom of expression or you do not.
Oh, so Julia Hartley-Brewer is now all for free speech, as is her employer, the “no-one watches” Talk TV owned by the ancient cuckold Rupert Murdoch.
I have never seen anything from Julia Loudmouth supporting my free speech rights over the past decade.
As for Talk TV, when I was convicted in 2023, and sentenced in March 2024, for having published the truth, Talk TV’s Twitter/X account simply regurgitated the bs fed to its “journalists” by the Jewish lobby and suborned Clown Prosecution Service.
Talk TV managed to get basic facts wrong, too; they even said, on their Twitter account and website, that I had been “jailed“!
“Another scandal emerging on the impact of uncontrolled mass immigration on our way of life… From my questioning of the Ministry of Justice – slowly, we are getting real answers. Between April 2018 and March 2022, there were 38,868 reoffences from adult foreign nationals. Within that, there were 11,890 reoffenders. Why are these criminals not immediately deported? If our weak establishment had the guts to do what is needed to be done and deport these miscreants, then almost 40,000 crimes would have been prevented. Pathetic and spineless politicians have failed this country. Foreign criminals should be deported. No excuses.“
Environmental group Climate Cymru BAME has advised the Labour Welsh government to make the outdoors ‘less racist’ by creating dog free areas. Andrew Davies the leader of the Welsh Tories responded,

“A TikTok user who continually posted antisemitic content to her thousands of followers has today been sentenced.
Fiona Ryan, 40, regularly shared her antisemitic views to both TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter), which includes comparing Israeli citizens to Nazis and made jokes about the Holocaust.
Ryan was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months, and eight weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months respectively, to run concurrently.
Ryan was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154, costs of £650 and a requirement to attend up to 20-day rehabilitation.”

So the “fat lady” sang (again) (at Wessex CPS HQ).
What an incredible waste of public resources. Will Allison Pearson or Julia Hartley-Loudmouth have anything to say about the latest assault on freedom of expression? I doubt it.
The status and rank of King’s Counsel is not what it once was (rather like that of “King” itself, arguende…), 100 or even 50 years ago. They are almost 2-a-penny now.
I was just thinking, admittedly not in a very original way, about how time flies. It is now nearly a year, about 11 months, since my day of trial on free speech issues (in November 2023), and it is already 7 months even since I was sentenced (mid-March 2024).
All water under the bridge. My pointless “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings lasting from half an hour each to a couple of hours or so, and the meetings have now been deemed completed; as to the (rather unfair) financial impost of £734, that was one-third crowdfunded, and the rest paid off in monthly instalments. All done. All finished.
Despite the behaviour of malicious Jew-Zionists, the dim and/or suborned police, and the antics of the “Clown” Prosecution Service, the blog has continued to be published almost daily since then. The legal position, to date, has not changed.
Very nearly 8 years of both telling the truth and suggesting policy.

After that real “holocaust” in Gaza, the peoples of the world no longer want to listen to the contrived “holocaust” narrative of the Jew-Zionists, constantly trotted out by them (and their Western dupes and agents) to excuse their usually-terrible behaviour.
“I am personally proud of the holocaust of Gaza, and that 80 years from now, they will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did,”
No response from the UK’s “Labour Friends of Israel” misgovernment (Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc).
We both know that the Israel-NATO side has vastly greater destructive capability. The casualty numbers this year make it clear. It's genocide not war. . The difference is in the battleground. For the Arabs it's home. For most of the Israelis it's a vacation/retirement/2nd home.

“A historic ocean liner which regularly docked in Southampton will soon be sunk and turned in the world’s largest coral reef.
For 17 years the SS United States powered through the Atlantic waves making constant journeys between New York and Southampton.
When the ship first came to the city in 1952, she drew in crowds of almost 70,000 as it was the fastest in the world at the time.
Now, after a years-long legal debate over its future, the iconic ocean liner is set to make its final voyage.
SS United States will be submerged off the Florida coast where it is expected to create the world’s largest artificial coral reef.“

[painting of SS United States undergoing sea trials in 1951 or 1952; more or less as I recall the ship from the mid-1960s]
I have actually been on the SS United States, though not as a passenger.
In the mid-1960s, my parents were friendly with an American family who lived not far down the same road in Caversham Heights (near Reading). They had two children, a boy about the same age as me (about 8), whose name I do not remember, and a pretty dark-haired girl, maybe the same age, called Carla (I had never heard the name Carla before). I went to their house a couple of times for birthday parties.
Americans were rather an exotic species in the England of the early/mid 1960s, and seen mainly on TV, though my parents had known a number when they lived for a year, a few years before I was born, near the Greenham Common air base near Newbury. Not very many Brits travelled to the USA as tourists in those days, either.
I cannot see any other reason why an American diplomat or other embassy employee would be living in, indeed beyond, Reading, 40 miles west of London. As to why they lived in that specific neighbourhood, I think that is easier to answer. It was (and still is) the best neighbourhood in the Reading area.
The father of that family must have been quite high-ranking. When my family went to wave them goodbye at Southampton (maybe 1965), we were allowed aboard the United States, and they had a suite in First Class (I now see, having read Wikipedia, that the liner had three classes of travel).
I still remember the main stateroom of their suite, the centre of the room taken up by a large circular polished wooden table, the centre of which had on it a huge bowl of flowers.
Nearly 60 years ago. I wonder where those Americans are now.
Incidentally, those artificial reefs created by sunken ships are a very good idea, begun many decades ago in the U.S., though more basic structures were known even in ancient times. It is a more complex operation than one would initially assume, though: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reef. It is not simply a matter of sinking a ship.

“Still no response from Mark Lewis, Patron Law or the Solicitors Regulation Authority about this.
Serious allegations have been made publicly about a solicitor that relate to the administration of justice. The allegations are met by a wall of silence from all concerned. Lewis himself seems unable to deny the allegations. What is going on? @MLewisLawyer @Patron_Law@sra_solicitors.”
I speculated months ago that the losing Jewish defendants in that case would probably end up suing Mark Lewis and/or Patron Law. Lewis is said to be a partner of Patron Law, yet himself has no assets in the England and Wales jurisdiction, so it may be that the losing defendants will have to sue both Lewis and Patron Law, but that Lewis will scuttle back to his flat in Eilat (Israel), leaving his co-partners at Patron Law to pick up the bill, assuming that they are found jointly and severally liable with Lewis.
I expect Lewis will get the push (not for the first time; other firms have sacked him in the past), at least from that small law firm, if not (also?) from the solicitors’ profession. After all, Lewis has been cheating and conning people for years, and also displaying both negligence and a serious deficit of ethics: see, e.g.

“This is how the power of Zionism operates. It penetrates institutions via personnel and finance, sure, but effects like this depend on its ideological power to convince and intimidate individuals in institutions. This has the result that they, (very possibly) quite independently, take on the role of punishing critics of the genocidal Zionist entity. This is why we don’t just need to collapse and remove the colony in Palestine, but also wage a generational war against the Zionist movement in the UK and in many other nations worldwide.”

The Bar of England and Wales, for example, is thoroughly “infested” now.
Whilst making recommendations to ban Palestine Action, Walney was being paid by lobbying organisations whose clients include arms companies selling weapons to Israel.

"There was no pandemic."
Neil Oliver: "What we ended up with was a pandemic of testing, with the misapplication of PCR tests that were never designed, according to their designer, to be used as diagnostic tools."
Disturbed to see that the @NickGriffinBU Twitter/X account, while nominally still there, seems to have had all its tweets removed. I have no idea whether Twitter/X did it at the instigation of “the usual suspects”, or whether Griffin himself has done it. I also have no idea when it happened, having not looked at the account for weeks, if not months.
Whatever is said about Griffin, he was the most successful and high-profile social nationalist of the period 1990-2010. He managed to get himself elected as an MEP (along with Andrew Brons), and is still pretty much the only social nationalist whose name is known to most people in the UK.
I do not say that I have agreed with everything said or done by Griffin, and have never met or communicated with him (beyond having posted a few of his tweets on the blog; he also retweeted me a couple of times when —pre-2019— I still had a Twitter account); but I regard him as, at root, a good fellow, and staunch under State repression (as when he was prosecuted). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin.
Incidentally, I see that he is only 2.5 years younger than me; I had thought quite a few years younger, maybe 7-8, even 10 years, though for no particular reason. Never assume, I suppose.

Similar to many other (Northern/Central/Eastern) European countries.
A core of post-Aryan Europeans, whether 100 million or 1 million or (after societal catastrophe) even as few as 1,000, must exist, as the basis for an ethnostate which can, in time, provide the foundation (perhaps only in hundreds or even thousands of years) for what might be termed a “super-race”, i.e. a quantum leap in the evolution of consciousness, after which that race will have all the technical knowledge of our day —and more— but will also have powers of mind amounting to what we today would call “magical powers”.
It sounds like "Utopia" compared the the Woke tyranny under which the West lives today — but it also sounded "familiar." Then I had an epiphany. It was familiar –because that's the way society used to be – before the Left destroyed everything it touched.
“We are about to enter the era of the “Far right.” Kids are going to be taught to read rather than imagine they are born in the wrong body. Being white skinned won’t be a mark of the devil. TV and film will be about plot and casting rather than how many non binary lesbian people of colour and girth you can cram into a drama. We will stop worshipping the sun god and perhaps take some time to get to know the actual one. Victimhood will be frowned upon. Health services will be expected to stop dancing for TikTok and do what they are paid to do. The police will be asked to get off their knees and regain public trust again. Fear will be replaced by hope. It’s going to be much nicer than the woke period, where men had periods. The homophobic trans crap will be done. Content of character will matter more than colour of skin. It’s going to be good. And to those of you who don’t like it. Tough. We have had enough.”

This is a map of the E.U. election results in France tonight.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald is now set to come under serious pressure as local election tallies indicated support for her party could be as low as 14%.
Sinn Féin calling their base racist and far right has backfired spectacularly
Whatever one may have thought about Sinn Fein and its military wing (the IRA) in the past, at least it was an honest and clear expression of political will. Now, it has become not dissimilar to the other fake Celtic “national” parties such as the SNP and Plaid Cymru, in other words a farrago of “anti-racism”, “anti-sexism”, pro-mass immigration, hostile to any true expression of European culture. Result? Most Irish people have turned against it, and those who are still voting for Sinn Fein are doing so mostly for reasons of misguided nostalgia, it seems.
Again, for once (?) I agree with what Jayda Fransen says here. Farage is indeed a System stooge, but sometimes things have to work out in particular, and sometimes unexpected, ways.
Yes, Farage and Reform UK are not social-national and, yes, the existence of Reform UK is blocking the emergence of anything new that is social-national.
Reform UK is channelling popular discontent into “safe” “Parliamentary road” diversions, but at the same time the existence of Reform UK —and the hoo-ha around it— is moving the “Overton Window”, changing the public’s idea of what might be possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window.
Also, it is to be hoped that Reform UK will help to destroy the now useless and hopeless Conservative Party, and thus destabilize the existing rigged System which depends upon the illusion of a basically binary “choice”.
Faragist diversion (UKIP) did destroy the rise of the BNP under Nick Griffin in and after 2005, and especially after 2009.
2024 is not 2015, when UKIP got 12% of the national vote but no seats. Why? Because the governing party, the Conservatives, were still riding fairly high in 2015. This year, the Conservative Party looks all but washed-up.
That may or may not mean that Reform UK gets Commons seats, but it does mean that a large number of Con seats are going to be lost because 10% or 15% of people, maybe even 20%, are going to vote Reform. That does also mean that Labour will thereby benefit, but most voters for Reform UK will be willing to accept that as the price for both destroying the Conservative Party and making a loud protest.

Nigel Farage claims some in the UK polling industry is skewed against Reform & "tipping point" in replacing the Tories is closer than people think. Claims Reform is already ahead of the Tories across northern Englandhttps://t.co/DPf6ds47Ji
I have previously mooted, on the blog, the idea that there may be a bloc of “secret” Reform UK supporters who will not reveal, even to polling staff, their potential General Election voting intention.
I do not know whether such a bloc exists, or how large it is if it exists, but if it does indeed exist in any but marginal size, it could be a gamechanger.
Reform UK has been polling between 13% and around 17% recently. If the “secret” Reform voters exist and number the equivalent of one-tenth of the known Reform voters, then the Reform vote might be anywhere between 14% and 19%. Add on the possibility of polling errors, and that might result in anything from 12% to 21%. We shall only know for sure on and after 4 July. Three weeks and three days from today.
An intention to vote Reform UK perhaps has not the level of what might be called “socio-political embarrassment” (for people living in a conformist situation) that an intention to vote, say, BNP or National Front used to have, but I think that the constant Matthew Parris-style “oh my goodness, look at those hillbillies!” msm propaganda directed against the “left behind” areas (such as Clacton), and against so-called “racism” etc makes some people both reticent in expressing their anger at what has happened and is happening but, at the same time, more determined to do something about the situation, such as voting in a way not approved by the System puppets, the scribblers, the talking heads etc.

Browne seems to be saying there that the Conservative Party will do OK in the election because it always did, in elections since 1945. How do people with such limited mentality ever become MPs, well-paid journalists (as he was) etc?
As for his assertion that the present-day Conservative Party embodies “small-c conservative values“, hardy ha ha… Look at what it has done in the past 14 years alone.
Tim Stanley was right to state that “the [Conservative party] brand is…gone” and that no-one even likes the Conservative Party any more. Also, that Starmer is “not socialist” (and, he added, is therefore not the frightening figure the Cons pretend). I tend to think that Starmer is alarming, but not because he is in any way “socialist”. Just that Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby repression comes naturally to him.

Nick Robinson: You attack Labour for having a secret plan to increase VAT, but which party put VAT up to 15% & then 17.5% & then 20%… every VAT increase, in your lifetime, Thatcher, Major & Cameron, were increased by Tory govts?
The reason is obvious. VAT raises a huge amount of money, and does so from everyone in the country, from the rich, the affluent, the less affluent, and the downright poor. The only way for an individual to avoid paying it is to be gifted the goods or services in question or (in the case of goods) to steal them.
Naturally, the wealthy prefer VAT to income tax, or capital gains tax.

If you're wondering why millions of Brits have left the Tories and Nigel Farage is back then watch this clip
“While they’re losing support to Labour and Reform, they’re also now losing an even larger number of their 2019 voters to something else — apathy.
Many people in Britain are simply giving up on politics, no longer convinced any of the big parties can fix the big problems facing the country. And this is especially true for people who voted Conservative at the last election.
Most of the people who have abandoned the Tories in recent months have not gone to Labour or Reform. Instead, they now say they will not vote at all, do not know who to support, or simply refuse to answer the question from pollsters. And the number who now say this is not small. About one in three of them now say this.“
[Matt Goodwin on Substack].
“One in three” of those who have stopped intending to vote Conservative during 2024 adds up to about, very roughly, a third of a half, i.e. about 1/6th of the whole electorate that voted in 2019 (67.3% turnout), so —again very roughly— about 1/9th of the whole eligible electorate. Call it just over 10%. Of those who would prefer to vote, maybe 15%.
Very speculative, I admit, but there is no doubt that many are anyway in that “politically homeless” position. Anecdotally, I have heard people say it, and heard them say it of others. It is a widespread phenomenon, no matter what may be the exact numbers.
Electoral Calculus may not be infallible, but —by my use of it— those figures give the Cons only 21 seats in the Commons (Lab 538, LibDems 55, Reform 1, Green 1, Plaid Cymru 4, and the SNP a mere 12).
Others calculate a Con bloc of 24 MPs. Whatever.

Many leftists on social media are celebrating that someone hurled a drink in the face of @Nigel_Farage today as he was campaigning in Clacton, Essex. They’re reveling in the fear that a victim feels when being hit in the eyes with an unknown liquid—in a country that suffers acid attacks. The celebrations are emblematic of a level of political violence that the left tolerates and desires on their political opponents.“
Perpetrators of violent attacks, such as that in Clacton yesterday, must be punished properly. I doubt whether the present minor judiciary has the will to do that.

I myself still think that <50 is a possibility for the Cons. I concede that the many experts and specialists are against me, but my reasons are as previously blogged:
the fact that few 2019 and earlier Con voters now think of the Con Party and Government as anything other than completely useless;
that there are many (or are there?) “secret” Reform UK intending or possible voters; and
that there are many voters who will vote tactically to sink the Cons, even if many of the same voters hate, despise or fear Starmer-Labour.
A point or so fewer for the Cons, a point extra for Labour, a point extra for the LibDems, and a point or so more for Reform UK, and the Con cadre of MPs would reduce to only 30.
This is no exact science.
I asked a young conservative member of Gen-Z why they refuse to vote Tory. Here's what they said https://t.co/AKx0za82uj
“This is a guest post from an anonymous 25-year-old member of Gen-Z. They live in London. They work in Westminster. And they are utterly fed-up with the dire state of the country.
If you believe the polls then the Tory party is about to be completely rejected by my generation, Gen-Z, the members of which were born in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Remarkably, just 5% of us are planning to vote Tory next month while a staggering 83% are planning to either vote Labour, Lib Dem, Green, or SNP.
But as one of those few right-leaning Zoomers, let me tell you —even that 5% figure is deeply misleading. Why?
Because, as Matt pointed out on Twitter/X, one enormous problem facing the Tories today is not just the remarkably low number of Zoomers who are planning to vote Conservative; it’s that the few Zoomer conservatives who do exist are also utterly fed-up and frustrated with the party and want to see it completely obliterated.
And why do they feel like this, exactly?
Well, consider my own story.
I’m writing this at 3am in the morning and I have less than four hours before I need to get up and start my morning routine for work.
But, once again, the neighbours who live downstairs, below my flat, have decided to have another all-night party. And unlike me, they don’t have to wake up for work.
Because, unlike me, they don’t have to work.
They qualify for social housing; their rent is subsidised by the large and rising amount of council tax I am forced to pay each month —on top of ruinous income taxes, national insurance contributions and student loan repayments.
The majority of the tenants in my housing block are unemployed; I see few of them leaving the house for work in the morning.
My interactions with them are limited to hostile glaring mixed in with the occasional attempted mugging. On the rare occasion I have female company I have to escort my dates to and from the bus stop to stop them being sexually harassed.
What scraps of my salary the State allows me to keep are eaten up immediately by rent. I pay almost half my post-tax income to live on an ex-council estate in Zone 3, London, with the smell of weed continually hanging in the air.
Unless I achieve an income of more than £200,000 it will simply be impossible to secure a mortgage on a house the same size as the one my parents bought in 1989.
My friends work in high-powered finance and legal careers but, like me, struggle on with flatshares well into their late 20s, if not their early 30s.
They are spending the best decade of their life working until midnight seven days a week for the chance to attain the same middle-class lifestyle their parents achieved much earlier in life.
The reward for being wildly successful financially in 2024? To live in a semi-detached house that was built for unskilled professionals in inner London a century ago.
And that’s not all …
If I decide to have children, which you might think ought to be encouraged given the demographic crisis facing Western nations like Britain, I will have to contend with extortionate childcare costs, or deprive my household of a second income.
Renting a three-bedroom flat in a safe part of London will cost in excess of £3,000 a month; my children will have to grow up in far more cramped conditions than I did, most likely having to share a room and perhaps dodging stray bullets.
The only feasible route out of this incredibly depressing situation is to leave the city I grew up in and commute two hours both ways from a town I have no local connection to —where I have no friends or family living nearby.
Even with cheaper housing, I will still have to send my kids to local schools where they will be bombarded with relentless propaganda about how to ‘change their gender’, acknowledge their ‘whiteness’, and apologise for the British Empire.
It is certainly true that previous generations of young people faced more challenging circumstances. I am not (yet) being asked to walk across No Mans Land and into a sea of barbed wire and machine guns.
But it is one thing being asked to suffer for a cause like liberty in Europe, or to grimace through destitution because of seemingly uncontrollable events like the Wall Street Crash. It is quite another to be economically enslaved to the point of infertility to sustain a growing population of resentful dependents.
And I am one of the lucky ones...”

Barwell’s thesis (to thus dignify it) seems to be that, as —say— 1M Brits age, retire, or die, the thing to do is to import 10M unwanted non-European immigrants in the hope that 10% of them can replace the 1M Brits who have checked out of the labour market (or life).

Not sure whether that is Krakow or the rebuilt (post-WW2) old central part of Warsaw. Maybe the latter. I saw both on several trips to Poland in 1988 and 1989, but I should probably not recognize much of the newer areas now, judging by photos I have seen. The changes, esp. in Warsaw, have been immense.

Also important, the SNP with only 14 MPs.

Largan. A Conservative Friends of Israel puppet. A nasty little man, who used to be an accountant for Marks & Spencer. Also, a dishonest little bastard.
Largan has obviously realized that, as a “Conservative” MP who won his seat narrowly in 2019, with a majority of only 509 votes, he has little chance of beating the Labour candidate this time in the normal way, so has decided to cheat.
Largan is an election cheat. Those fake “Labour” and “Reform UK” posters he has published are an outright attempt to defraud the High Peak electorate.
Despite having been a barrister (in practice or overseas employed practice 1992-2008, and still nominally a barrister until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons in late 2016), I know little about the law pertaining to elections.
The above, however, does not seem to cover the case of a candidate deceptively using the style and colours of his opponents in order to trick voters directly.
Even if Largan is not actually in breach of electoral law (and I cannot say whether that is so or not), in view of his deliberate and dishonest copying of the colour and style of Labour and Reform UK posters, the voters of High Peak must be made aware of how very dishonest and desperate Largan is (desperate not to have to get a real job again, something he has only had for 5 out of his 38 years).
Send Largan back to counting beans for M&S.
🚨 UPDATE: Derbyshire Police said: “We wish to confirm that we have received a number of messages in relation to claims of election fraud, raised due to concerns around marketing material. An incident has been created and will be reviewed.” https://t.co/xNpj0zZ1Br
Actually, when you think how likely (in fact, inevitable) it was that Largan’s deception would be discovered (having after all been publicized on Twitter/X by Largan himself!), it does call into question Largan’s commonsense or lack of the same. His judgment too. He is an idiot.
I don't think anybody has ever been that desperate before.
— Jen Wood – est optimum simpliciter (@unojen_wood) June 1, 2024
Robert Largan—serially dishonest and not even very clever in being so.
Imagine, though, how little confidence Largan must have in the “Conservative” brand to try to camouflage himself on different election posters as Labour, and Reform UK and Green, in other words anything but “Conservative”…and also even printing a fake “newspaper”.
Derbyshire Police are now looking at Robert Largan's campaigning as "Labour forLargan" and "Reform for Largan".https://t.co/j2O1CxrURN
Well, I agree with Hodges on that, at least in terms of the gap between Con and Lab, but then, after all, I did predict on the blog quite some months ago that, contrary to the usual scenario, there would not be a convergence in the polling prior to Election Day. The reason is clear— people have just given up on the “Conservatives”. Labour is disliked but, in the UK’s basically binary system, if people do not vote Con, Lab profit thereby.
Look at how many Con MPs are failing to contest GE 2024, and look at the poor quality of most of those intending to contest it. Robert Largan is but one, and egregious, example of that.
The voters have a choice: Labour, who will probably be both incompetent and repressive, and the “Conservatives”, who have already proven themselves incompetent and repressive. Both parties are as good as controlled by the…”Israel lobby”.

In the past, there was clear blue water between Con and Lab, at least on some issues, but the Cons cannot now even compete on issues traditionally (if falsely) their own: immigration, defence, law and order, Treasury competence. Etc. They have failed miserably on all of those and more.
That is the core point, surely. I can think of no issue on which the Cons can credibly make a stand, not even on cultural issues such as the trans nonsense, free speech etc. They are, on those topics, so far as bad as Labour, overall.

I suppose that Netanyahu is well-guarded, but so far the only Israeli (ex-) PM to be assassinated (Rabin) was hit by Jewish dissidents, not Arab Palestinians.
The amount of Tommy Robinson followers who are not aware that he is funded by Israel is amazing. They think they are patriots but are really serving Israel Zionist agenda. The real right wing in the U.K. are very few.
The label “far right” (like “right and “left“) is meaningless. Policy is key.
The “Tommy Robinson” crowd are sheep, though they cannot see that. What policies does “Tommy” offer? None, except to —somehow— stop the growth of Islamic or Islamist influence in the UK. Gesture politics, and controlled opposition. Meaningless.
What matters is not, did he break the law?, but the fact that he is expanding his #ToryScum tactics to deceive voters he claims to represent and care about. He is also showing great disdain to his constituents by assuming there are enough thick enough to make the scam worthwhile.
I see that the Manchester Evening News has reported Largan's misleading advertising and I have messaged The Glossop Chronical and Thameside radio to ask if they are covering it, too, to inform his constituents of his duplicity.

Things have changed.
I am 72 and from 1970 to 2017 I voted Tory at every GE. I couldn’t vote for the King of Liars in 2019 so voted LD.
This time I will (tactically) vote Labour for the first time in my life and will never vote Tory again.
There were genuine reasons to favour Con over Lab in, say, 1970, 1974, even 1979 and 1983, though I personally have voted only once, aged —just— 18, in October 1974, and it was not for a System party (my chosen candidate came 4th out of 4 with about 600 votes).
Both major System parties have changed out of all recognition since the 1970s, and are really just corporate facades, indeed to a large extent similar corporate facades, hiding the almost identical core ideologies within.
Do you believe Labour’s shadow home secretary, when she says she’ll stop the boats? pic.twitter.com/60i2f7WItK
Oh, I believe that evil woman all right. She will stop the cross-Channel boats, or most of them. She will do it by setting up places in France where 90%+ of those applying for asylum will simply have their applications rubberstamped. They will then get ferries to the UK.
At present ~1M unwanted immigrants are coming to the UK every year, whether “legally” or not. That is the problem, not the rubber boat mob as such.
The other aspect of the problem we face is that there are large numbers of complete idiots who naively (or actively maliciously) prefer to believe that the UK can absorb millions of mostly uneducated, mostly parasitic, often hostile non-white immigrants without any effect on our way of life, culture, or public services. Some of the idiots even prefer to believe that the influx is something positive…
Incredibly (or maybe not, in view of Britain’s ever-sliding educational standards), no less than 109,000 Twitter twits “follow” Osland’s Twitter/X account.

With 8 million arriving on these shores over the last decade and struggling to build a mere avg 100,000 new homes per year over the same time it’s bloody obvious what the cause is.
There may be a billion or more non-whites in the world who, in principle, might make out a case for UK residence, either on the basis of asylum (under outdated rules) or otherwise. How many houses do Osland and his fellow-idiots think might be required? 500 million? 200 million? (paid for, incidentally, by the British people). That’s before they start to breed, of course. The whole argument these people put forward is a nonsensical one.

I feel very sorry for the Palestinian Arabs, suffering as they are under the yoke of the Israeli Jews, but I would not want many or even any to come to the UK.
For one thing, many of them, quite understandably, blame the UK and maybe its people for allowing the UK to do the bidding of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, sending military aid etc to Israel, and so on; there may be a degree of hostility.
Secondly, if large numbers, perhaps the more active of the Palestinian Arabs, come to the UK, the resistance to Israel in Israel/Palestine itself will be weakened.
Thirdly, of course, I oppose the migration-invasion in general.

Implicit in much of the media coverage of Robert Fico –in the BBC, the Guardian, the FT– is that he somehow deserved to get shot because he happens to hold views they disagree with. It's disgusting.
That tendency has been around for a long time in the UK, but more pointedly since small upsurges of British national politics started to be listened to by a significant minority.
Nick Griffin was attacked by a stupid young woman about 14 years ago; Nigel Farage as well, several years ago. The Brexit shambles has added fuel to that fire.

Talking point
“Why is [the Jewish lobby] so much more powerful than people with disabilities?”
— Campaign Against Antisemitism (@antisemitism) May 16, 2024
…”and answer came there none“…
I myself could attempt an answer but, as many will know, the small but (inevitably) well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] managed to have me put on trial late last year —November 2023— after some 7 years of malicious and lying complaints by them, including the very weird ex-MP, now “Lord”, Ian Austin, writing directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions about me).
The Hampshire Constabulary and “Clown” Prosecution Service eventually caved in to the whining demands of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.
Representing myself, I very nearly got off at half-time on the equivalent of “no case to answer”, but was convicted in the end of having published 5 blog posts containing material deemed to have been “grossly offensive” under Communications Act 2003, s.127, a piece of law so badly flawed that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.
The case hinged upon 5 blog posts out of about 1,800 published since late 2016, and out of about 1,000 published in the 3 years prior to charge (3 years being the “backstop” time limitation).
The CPS and police wasted hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours of their supposedly precious time “trawling” (as the woman in charge of the CPS office in question put it) through thousands of pages of material.
The result was that, despite the “Clown” Prosecution Service and its outside Counsel having tried to make this pitiful little matter into a “State Trial” (in the historical sense), the sentence of the learned District Judge in question was that I undertake 15 “rehabilitation days” (mostly, in fact, quite short meetings) with the Probation Service (and spread over the nine months of March-December 2024), and pay notional costs totalling £734.
I missed a trick in that I perhaps could have asked for a reduction in costs based on the fact that the CPS asked for an adjournment of a week so that their Counsel could apply for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me, which he did. The very experienced District Judge (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) however refused that Application and preferred my argument; indeed, he anticipated much of it.
I was tired, unsurprisingly, and failed to ask for the costs of the unnecessary extra (part-) day in court.
Never mind. All comes to he who waits…
So, reverting to that question about the Jewish lobby on the radio, I prefer not to make the fairly obvious answer as to why all those political candidates (not sure for what election; maybe the Manchester mayoral election; maybe not) turned out for the Jewish lobby, but not for the elderly, disabled and poor English people. I think that my blog readers will guess aright.
Incidentally, I am still paying off that £734 costs order by instalments. If anyone would care to help by donating a few pounds and/or sharing the link, I should be most grateful: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
Finally, I had until today never heard of Eddie Nestor MBE. Sounds like an honest fellow, anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Nestor. The West Indians often seem more alert than echt-English people in respect of “this question”.
If only more people on radio and TV (especially white English people) were willing to stand up —even a little— to “that” special-interest lobby in the honest way that the said Nestor has done.
More about the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor [for more, see previous blog posts]
The Defendants did win some aspects of the litigation, but given the offers made pre-trial, they’d have had to win on almost everything to avoid paying my costs.
“Here we go. One of the Defendants has told me this:
“He [Mark Lewis of Patron Law] also told me that there was no way I could lose any money as I would win at least one of the claims and the costs would be so substantial to you that it would end up in credit to my side.
This advice began to change dramatically after the result came in. When I said that I won two of the four, he responded with a very different picture.”
I do not know if this is true. But, if it is true, then: (a) it is terrible advice; and (b) it suggests Lewis continued to provide advice to this Defendant after identifying a conflict in May 2023. If true, it is scandalous conduct. @MLewisLawyer @sra_solicitors.”
The Defendants did win some aspects of the litigation, but given the offers made pre-trial, they’d have had to win on almost everything to avoid paying my costs.
We are supposedly a civilized society under law. That means that, unlike in the Old Wild West, Mark Lewis (and/or his pack of colleagues) cannot be tarred and feathered, and then run out of town on a rail (or rails), but what can be done is for the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority to take action resulting in Lewis’s removal from the solicitors’ roll.
Incidentally, Lewis is a longstanding “Patron” and co-conspirator with the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
Lewis has been acting both dishonestly and fraudulently for many years. Time to boot him out and back to Eilat (Israel) where he apparently now has his domicile.

🔴The Plan is Working: Rishi Sunak Races Up the Rich List as Homelessness Soars
The Prime Minister and his wife’s personal wealth rose to £651 million amid the biggest fall in living standards for British people since records began, @AdamBienkov reportshttps://t.co/O0BYdI6Kmw
Once he loses the General Election later this year, or early in the New Year, the little Indian money-juggler will probably decamp, with his wife, to California. He may have been born here (in Southampton, in 1980), and educated here (Winchester, followed by Oxford) but he has no real roots here. The only difference between him and millions of other non-white “migrants” (or offspring of migrants) is the vast amount of money he has, mainly via his wife, who was born in India and seems to have arrived in the UK sometime around 2012, via California and the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akshata_Murty.
Anyone who seriously believes that Sunak or his wife care a jot for the British people must be a very silly person indeed.

Ha. Indeed. It is comical to see various clowns still kow-towing to “The Harry Formerly Known as Prince” just because of his (disputed) “royal” birth, but even more comical to see the “wokerati” on Twitter/X defending him for one reason only, i.e. his marriage to a “half-caste” part-white, part-non-white woman.
In a sense, I almost feel sorry for him. Not much, though.
Amusing. When I was a barrister based in Exeter (though travelling all over England and even overseas on legal kommandirovki, I was briefed a few times by South West Water. Their legal department was, I think, very small. I met once or twice with the head of legal affairs and a few of his subordinates at their offices in a business park by Exeter, but I think, from memory, that there were really not that many staff working there, even including office staff such as administrators. That would have been sometime around 2005.
I should add that not everyone was happy with the South West Water product even that long ago, but my own house was supplied by a private natural spring.
He’s absolutely shameless. I cannot understand how he can still be a judge when he continues to make false allegations about members of the public.

“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be removed from that position until the end of the special operation, said the former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor in the show on YouTube channel Judging Friday.
There is also a possible scenario in which the leader of the Kyiv regime will be allowed to leave the country and go, for example, to Cyprus, the colonel believes.
Russian forces can reach Odessa, if the Kiev regime does not agree to negotiations, otherwise the Russian army will close the passage on the front line east of the Dnieper. Russia will ensure the creation of a neutral demilitarized zone, he added.”

The U.S, Embassy in Moscow was warning American expats about a possible terror attack for several days. From where did that come? From general “chatter” monitored or intercepted?
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia.
In 2016, Donald Trump said former US President Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton is the co-founder.
Tenuous. Many people, including famous political figures, move around the world all the time, “like billiard balls“, as a Russian peasant on a river steamer once remarked to Gorky about the “gentry” [see: Literary Portraits, by Gorky, 1935, trs. Ivy Litvinov].
I cannot see the Kiev regime being behind this, except as the most dangerous game move (provoking Putin into doing something so harsh that it might then bring NATO into the Ukraine war directly). Surely even the Kiev regime would not do something so crazy?
How Russia will escalate has become more important than if Ukraine was actually behind this, which we may never know. https://t.co/wGLPm4GEkV
Trump, if re-elected, will cut off funding, arms and ammunition supplies, and intelligence aid to the Zelensky dictatorship; the war in Ukraine will then grind to a halt within weeks.
Crowdfunders
My own crowdfunder, set up to help me pay the court-imposed costs of my recent free-speech trial: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
The MP who tweeted or retweeted that BBC report did not address the fact that the pro-Israel bloc in the UK and other states, the core of which is the Jewish Zionist population in each state, seems to be fairly solidly behind the Israeli military and air attack “operation” in Gaza.
I'm Jewish. This post is for anyone who opposes the GENOCIDE under way in Gaza, supported by @RishiSunak@Keir_Starmer & most UK media
IT IS NOT antisemitic to 1 Criticise the actions of Israel 2 Condemn the occupations 3 Condemn apartheid 4 Criticise the Israel Lobby in UK
In relation to no.4 above, it is unfortunate that the learned district judge at my free speech trial (in November 2023) seemed unaware of or (much more likely) not in agreement with, the point(s) made (which have been made many many times previously).
In fact, and in any case, “antisemitism”, as such, is not illegal in this country; neither is so-called “holocaust” “denial”. That much has been made clear in numerous court cases though, as far as I am aware, not yet at appeal level in the higher courts (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of the UK).
Actually, the trial judge was fair in his actual conduct of the trial, overall, but Britain these days has come under a kind of low cloud of repression in respect of —shall we say?— “them“…
I feel that a few issues were slightly fudged in the delivered judgment of the learned District Judge at my trial. It is long since I was a barrister in court (2007) but I feel that there was at least one good appeal point in that judgment.
However, I am disinclined to appeal, and then have to go through, at the Crown Court, what would amount to a retrial, rehashing all the nonsense of the “CAA” and CPS already heard, particularly as the sentence eventually handed down by the sentencing judge was relatively light; and also in view of the fact that the sentencing District Judge refused the Prosecution application for a Criminal Behaviour Order to restrict (though not much, really, the Order and Application having been so poorly-drafted) my publication of the blog.
Incidentally, my trial was at the end of last November, so only a week short of 4 months ago. Tempus fugit. Even my sentencing hearing was 9 days ago, but I have already done one day out of the ordered 15 “probation” days (nominally a day, in terms of the sentence format, but actually about an hour in real time).
The blog continues. The blog will continue. Inshallah, as the Arabs say.

…and here is another thieving leech, Stephen Byers, another freeloading and/or fraudulent expenses cheat, and another Labour Friends of Israel member: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Byers.
2015: Jeremy Corbyn elected Labour leader. 2016: 172 Right Wing Labour MPs stage coup to get rid of him. 2016: same MPs back Owen Smith leadership bid. 2017 12.8 million vote for Corbyn in GE. 2024: these same RW MPs, including Starmer, running the Labour Party. #DontVoteLabourpic.twitter.com/E5EOHICI5o
“Right Wing Labour MPs“, says he, meaning “members of Labour Friends of Israel“: at least three out of the ten Jewish (some of the rest possibly part- or “crypto”). Several of that group of ten wealthy or very wealthy; the rest freeloading, and/or fraudulent, leeches and snakes.
The Starmer led Labour Party in many ways are worse then the Tories, they are using Labour’s history of being a voice for the working class to further the agenda of the elites.
It is now not impossible that, at the upcoming 2024 General Election, the Reform UK party, despite its flaws (from my ideological direction) will run about level with the Con Party; somewhere around 15%-20%. If so, and if Labour can get about 45%, the Con Party might be left with about 25-50 MPs (Labour 500-525; LibDems 25-50; Reform UK 0-5; Green 1-2; SNP 15-30; Plaid Cymru 2-3; others, about 18).
If the Conservative Party declines to somewhere below 50 MPs, it is an open question (bearing in mind the age of its core voters) as to whether it can survive at all in the medium term (2030-2050).
While I agree with Nick Griffin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin] that there is, for social-national people, “no Parliamentary road” in a totally rigged game, it is not impossible for a political party as yet not in existence to play at least some role in a general social-national upsurge. “All roads lead to Rome“, as they say.

The Kiev-regime forces can still fire missiles at cities, but they do not have the soldiers, arms, and ammunition to defeat or even hold the Russian forces on the battlefield.
The Russian Armed Forces are repelling a massive attack on Sevastopol. More than 10 missiles have already been shot down, and air defense fire against cruise missiles can be heard. The air raid alarm has been sounding for over an hour.
Most readers of the blog will be aware that I was sentenced yesterday for breach of the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127, a law so defective that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.
I shall blog about my trial and sentencing hearing etc either later today or tomorrow.
Today, the most important thing is to think about forward strategy.
We see, in the Britain of today, a level of repression on free speech and/or freedom of expression never seen previously, not even during times of war, at least since the 17th Century.
Countries which are not cohesive, and which are sometimes called “diverse”, always have to have tyrannical police and secret police, and repressive laws. The modern paradigm, I suppose, was the Soviet Union.
My trial last November, and yesterday’s sentencing hearing was only one small example of the repression which is still increasing. Israel-lobby puppet Michael Gove introduced his “extremism” proposals and was supported by such as “Lord Walney” (the former MP, John Woodcock, who had to step down as MP after sex-pest allegations etc), who has always been a vocal advocate for Israel and its lobby in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Woodcock,_Baron_Walney#Adviser_on_Political_Violence_and_Disruption.
In fact, Gove, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, seems to be mainly targeting entirely non-violent British groups such as Patriotic Alternative, already attacked both by State agencies and private interests (as when Sam Melia and his wife, Laura Towler were “de-banked” for political reasons a few years ago). See also https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia.
Incidentally, “Labour” supports the latest anti-free speech repression. At least, those with power in the Labour Party: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc; all Labour Friends of Israel members.
What I want to do here is look at “what now?“, in the context of a British society where free speech (especially speech critical of “certain groups”) is finished, at an end, extinct.
Nick Griffin was (also) on the right track when he tweeted (and I think that his views remain the same) that there was “no Parliamentary road” to power for us as social-nationalists, but that we should avoid getting involved in “terrorism” (hard to define, of course, but let that lie for now).
The Parliamentary road is no good mainly because the game is so rigged that the Chicago mobs of the 1920s would feel ashamed. Look at the latest Israel-lobby-procured “extremism” nonsense coming out of Gove and the rest. That means that entirely lawful bodies such as Patriotic Alternative (mentioned by name by Gove) would never be able to take part in elections (certainly not if they looked like having success), might well find it hard to hold bank accounts, or operate any “regulated” mass media etc.
Of course the “antifa” clowns (unwitting pawns of “others”) will think this all wonderful, at first. Later, of course, they will find themselves fed into the meat-grinder.
As for anything approaching the usual view of “terrorism”, that would have no chance even were it morally acceptable. The State holds all the cards— police, military power, secret and security services, arms and ammunition, the mass media (more or less), and pretty tight control over international travel; and so on.
I think that that has to be the way forward. It is in concord with Clausewitz and his views (in another context) re. concentration of forces, sometimes referred to as a kind of Schwerpunkt, or focussed point or area.
Well, this week brings a convincing victory over political journalist John Rentoul; he only managed 1/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 4, 7, and 9.
Laura Towler and Sam Melia
I included material on the blog yesterday about Laura Towler and her husband Sam Melia. I am not personally acquainted with them, and am not, as such, a supporter of their organization, Patriotic Alternative, but obviously am, as they are, supportive of European race and culture, and want Europe to have a future worth living. I also support free speech and freedom of expression.
Yesterday, Sam Melia was sentenced to 2 years in prison, a result of his having been convicted of what amounts to political offences. He will therefore probably be in prison for a year (possibly/hopefully a few months less).
I also happened to see this crowdfunder for the couple, who have a young child, with another expected soon.

No doubt Sam Melia’s solicitors and Counsel will be considering whether to appeal, at least on sentence. A tough choice, though, when there is the danger of an increase in sentence in the appellate forum.

The little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, is going down politically. This time next year, he will probably have relocated to California or Bombay, and/or be another fake “lord” in the now-ludicrous House of “Lords”.
While it is true that a huge “Labour” majority would merely increase the repression on social-nationalism, at least there would be no nonsense about social national people having to play the “electoral” (rigged) game.
The faked pseudo-democratic “two main parties” game has to be brought down. If the Conservative Party can be almost wiped out at GE 2024, that party, half of the “two party” scam, may never recover. That in turn will lead to a vacuum which may then be filled by something new.

The scale of Galloway’s win indicates he may well have taken the seat even without Azhar Ali’s suspension. In addition Reform are currently struggling to leverage their national poll lead into hard votes. Both of them will harden the view of many Tory MPs Sunak needs to go early.

The combined vote of the Labour and Conservative candidates was a mere 19.7%.

After that first day in October 2023, which side has been doing the “murdering, mutilating, and burning”? (maybe not raping, I do not know).
As always, “they” see only their own hurt (whether actual or imagined). As someone once said, “they” can feel themselves to be the “victim” even as they beat you…
As for that specimen being interviewed— ghastly.
For me, and surely objectively, the idea that, after an admittedly egregious attack (by Hamas) lasting some hours, or one 24-hour period, the Israeli response has been “proportionate” or “self-defence” (killing or wounding, so far, about 100,000, mostly women and children, and young persons under-18), is almost mad. Completely disproportionate, and way beyond anything reasonably describable as “self-defence”.
The Hamas/Gazan side does not have planes, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, really powerful missiles, bombs etc.
After the initial one-day attack from Gaza in October 2023, and arguably a day or so later, nothing the Israeli side has done can possibly be called “proportionate” or “in self-defence“.
