Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.

Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.

That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

The “trans” nonsense has become utterly ridiculous. Having said that, women should not be boxing anyway.

Less than a month since GE 2024, and Starmer-Labour is already the “elected” dictatorship I predicted. I say “elected“, of course, because only 4 out of every 12 voters who voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 of all eligible voters— 8 out of 20 did not vote at all).

We are not ruled by “Labour” or “Conservative” labels, but by NWO/ZOG puppets. There is no substantial difference between the “two main parties”.

…and there are “alternative” NWO/ZOG puppets, less important ones, too: “Tommy Robinson”, Reform UK, Farage, Tice etc.

Almost everything is fake and/or utterly screwed in contemporary Britain: Labour, Conservative, “Captain Tom” charity, “Jack Monroe” the “Bootstrap Cook”, SIS, the Foreign Office, the Bar, the Church of England— you name it…

What has been absent from comment is the sheer malice of the recent announcement. I see Rachel Reeves as an extremely malicious person, and she will be well aware of the fact that few people aged 65+ vote Labour.

“Zelensky: We will discuss the issue of Ukraine’s borders with the respective countries.

PROMISED TO DEVELOP A “PEACE ESTABLISHMENT PLAN” BY THE END OF NOVEMBER

Kyiv-based political scientist Andrei ZOLOTARYOV believes that Zelensky is “preparing to sell the truce to the Ukrainians as a victory.”

Washington Post: Armed forces of Ukraine exhausted, a critical situation is emerging for the Ukrainian army on the front with elements of “serious chaos”.”

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

The US allowed the use of nuclear weapons because of Ukraine The United States may use nuclear weapons because of the desperate situation in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works. “The situation in Ukraine now is that the Russians have virtually defeated Ukraine, and so the United States has a choice between a humiliating defeat and perhaps dropping one of these low-yield nuclear weapons,” he said.

If the USA uses nuclear weapons on Russian forces, it can kiss goodbye to the top 50 American cities, including Washington DC, New York, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston.

Don’t instigate nuclear war. It could put humanity back thousands of years.

Saturday quiz

Well, 9/10 this week, trumping John Rentoul’s 5 and a half. The only answer I definitely did not know was that to question no. 1. I admit that I “educated-guessed” several, though.

The 2024 Olympics

Not everyone was happy when the Olympic Games were resurrected from the vaults of classical history. Rudolf Steiner, for one, did not like the idea, the form it took and, I think, the aesthetics of what was re-invented.

The modern Games have little in common with what existed over 2,300 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Ancient_Olympics.

The sports have varied over the years. Tug-o-War was once a recognized Olympic sport, for example, and I personally cannot accept several of the present-day sports as real sports. Synchronized swimming and equestrian dressage, to name but two.

To my mind, the main damage was done when the Olympic Games became a competition among nations rather than among individuals. I suppose that the idea was to mirror the original Games, in which Greek villages and city-states sent representative athletes.

The Games developed from an early amateur and folksy festival to a peak of aesthetics at the 1936 Games in Berlin, but since then the whole thing has become an international corporate Schauspiel with little reality.

That goes beyond even the decadence of the Weimar Republic. Can anyone doubt that there must be a cultural purge throughout the Western world?

Thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire” Lammy:

I don’t care if Lammy has half a dozen tick-box “degrees” or diplomas. I prefer to look at the real person. Just listen to that ignorant [REDACTED]…

Also, it is clear that Lammy cannot think on his feet. Perhaps that is why he never worked as a practising barrister. In fact, I think that he never was actually in practice at the Bar at all, just did a few months as a kind of “diversity”-hire gopher and/or intern at a law firm in California, then a year doing the same thing in London at a different firm. That year or two together constitute the only non-political work Lammy has ever done, when aged about 26, before he latched onto the old MP racket (like so many other useless wastes of space).

Exactly as I predicted would happen. Instead of a highly-visible armada of “small boats” across the Channel, UK “vetting centres” in mainland Europe will rubberstamp 90% of all applicants.

The rest will either be deterred or, more likely, will still try their luck at crossing illegally, but of course the visual and public relations impact will be diminished— 50 a day instead of 500, but with the other 450 coming in “legally”.

Straight treachery.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of bastard progeny of Blair’s trickery.

Incidentally, you can see there what a nest of evil exists in the “British” mainstream media (of which Talk TV would be part, if anyone actually watched it). Most scribblers and talking heads in this country are enemies of the future of the British people.

As noted many times previously, anyone silly enough to instruct Mark Lewis is to be pitied.

So two spiteful Jews may lose their homes for having made libellous comments claiming “antisemitism”? In the immortal words of Windsor Davies, “oh dear, what a pity, never mind“…

I suppose that the two Jews in question will recoup whatever they can by suing Mark Lewis… [please refer to the Windsor Davies comment above].

However, Lewis has no real property or other assets in the jurisdiction, and is based in the home of so many other frauds— Israel.

Something we see every day now in the UK. I myself have been prosecuted at the behest of the Jew-Zionist element for telling the truth. Still, I am still here, the blog is still here, and the truth is still being told.

Only the Aryan can give life.

Incidentally, that young tweeter, “@david_r_morgan” is well worth following, for those with a Twitter/X account (I myself was expelled in 2018, after a long campaign by Jew-Zionists).

Not sure that I agree that the policeman who kicked one compliant suspect in the head and then stamped on the suspect’s head did behave “appropriately“, bearing in mind that the suspect was still, was lying face down, and was presenting no risk.

That two-stage action, the kick and the stamping, can be separated from the main fight, because the recipient of the attacking police actions was effectively a prisoner and not fighting when he was kicked and stamped upon.

Of course it is easy to pass judgment after the event, but that is what has to happen— cool judgment later, whether in a court or tribunal, or in the court of public opinion.

I think that those were “flashbangs”, not grenades as such.

Where was Matt Goodwin when Jez Turner was imprisoned merely for saying that Jews should be deported from the UK? Where was Goodwin when Alison Chabloz was imprisoned for creating and posting a few amusing cartoons and songs about Jewish behaviour? Indeed, where was Goodwin when I was prosecuted last year for allegedly having posted “grossly offensive” remarks and cartoons on this blog? Nowhere, that’s where Goodwin (a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish lobby) was…and is.

[Lincoln’s Inn, under the Chapel]

London. Zoo.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jungle.

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

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

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

Ha.

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

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

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

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

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

The world is not without kind people [Russian proverb]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Heartening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Skwawkbox]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We have a sick political and mass media system.

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

Well-meaning stupidity on the part of the rank-and-file, but the high command has obviously been captured by enemy forces, as has happened to the National Trust, RSPB etc. Sad, to have to regard those and other great and once national charities as having been turned into centres of ideological treachery.
