“UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] was the nominal organization which complained in 2014 to the Bar Standards Board about some of my tweets (I had a Twitter/X account until yet another pack of Jews had me “suspended”, i.e. expelled, in 2018).
An old Jew barrister called Goldberg, of whom I had never heard until that time, signed the complaint on behalf of “UKLFI”. It later turned out that he had at one time been the preferred Counsel of the notorious Kray gangsters (themselves part-Jew).
The malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] was also involved and, after I was (wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred in 2016, its chiefs, Gideon Falter and Stephen Silverman, crowed mightily in the Press and on TV about my having been disbarred, and about how (they claimed) it set a “precedent” for their being able to target not only barristers but also members of other professions which now have strict conduct regulations (and three guesses which type of individual drafts those…).
The “UKLFI” and “CAA” have, to some extent, overlapping membership and supporter cadres. More or less, or in effect, volunteer arms of the Israeli Embassy in London, and therefore of the Israeli state.

Brainless “Conservative” Party member at the Conservative Party Conference. She mentions “thousands” of people, but the most I have seen online would be a couple of hundred in one place, and that includes Press and other msm attendees. Most gatherings seem to have been dozens rather than hundreds, let alone thousands.
I notice that that tweeter mentions the absence of demonstrators outside (with the exception of that oddly-dressed pro-EU lunatic who impeded my taxi in Whitehall a couple of years ago). The reason for the non-appearance of demonstrators is obvious— the fake “Conservative” Party is now more or less irrelevant. The Con Party is politically completely irrelevant for the next 4-5 years, and may be even less relevant after that, if Reform UK or other party manages to do well.
The voters want a real alternative, and the Con Party is not that.
Thank you for all the support over on the new account.

Britain in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s had many problems, but they were not insoluble and, in general, Britain was improving and developing in various ways, despite the disastrous socio-economic damage done by the unnecessary and very negative Second World War.
Britain still had many possibilities open to it in the 1970s, but after that time, especially after 1989, the shades of doom closed in: mass immigration, already a problem since the 1970s, became a constantly-increasing migration-invasion. A smallish island started to become a human ant-heap. Housing shortages, crowded roads and rail, even water shortages on a regular basis. All had existed at one time or another, but on a smaller scale or more limited in duration.

“Labour MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip with immediate effect.
Her resignation pulls no punches:
“As Prime Minister, your managerial and technocratic approach, and lack of basic politics and political instincts, have come crashing down on us as a party after we worked so hard, promised so much, and waited a long fourteen years to be mandated by the British public to return to power
Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous.
I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear.
How dare you take our longed-for victory, the electorate’s sacred and precious trust, and throw it back in their individual faces and the faces of dedicated and hardworking Labour MPs?!
The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”
I might not agree on everything with Rosie Duffield (specifically, her support for Israel and the Jewish lobby), but she certainly has principle. These days, in the political milieu, that is as rare and as valuable as rubies.
“Forcing a vote [on winter fuel payment] …while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for — why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment?”
Starmer shows no embarrassment because he is not really a politician, let alone a statesman, but a technician, put into power by the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby to do a job: firstly to get rid of Corbyn and any non-Zionists in Labour, secondly to impose the ZOG/NWO regime, meaning pro-Israel and pro-“Ukraine” (the Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) internationally, and a kind of “great reset” domestically; thirdly, to destroy what little free speech and freedom of expression still exists in the UK, fourthly, to impose a “woke” dictatorship intent on shipping into the UK as many non-whites as possible.

It should be illegal for Penny Mordaunt and Kemi Badenoch to promote Israel as if it's something they know or believe when it's just a paid promotion of a Foreign power for a fee like promoting Marlboro cigarettes..

That kind of Jewish lobby (which after 1948 became also an Israel/State of Israel lobby) did exist prior to WW2. Churchill was its main agent; but it did not really or fully embed itself until after 1989, in the 1990s. Blair was, in this as in so many other negative things, the one who opened up the portal of darkness.
"I've always put my constituents first, and that hasn't changed." "Why don't you put that to the test?" "No."
Ha. Seems that her principles do not extend as far as giving up, or risking having to give up, the pay and perks of an MP. She understands all too well that, in a rigged system like this, the voting masses only vote for a label, at least 99% of the time. Which makes me wonder why she has left Labour. Maybe she will jump to Reform UK. Seems unlikely, though, especially in view of her solid electoral support at GE 2024— 41.4%, with Cons second on 23%.
I was just looking at Rosie Duffield’s bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Duffield. Not very impressive; not at all. The main thing that stands out is her pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby stance. I have noticed that the prolific and fanatical Jewish tweeters on Twitter/X always support her— a very bad sign.
Rosie Duffield cannot return to a well-paid outside profession or career, because she never had one. She dropped out of school at 16, and her main activity apart from being a mother was as a teaching assistant for a number of years. She was 46 when she became an MP in 2017.
Maybe Rosie Duffield, in the end, is just quite genuinely horrified by the evident unfitness of Starmer-Labour, and has simply decided to sit it out as an MP for the next 4+ years and then either not stand for re-election or maybe stand for Reform UK or as Independent. She might yet have a chance if she goes to Reform and if Reform is by then the main challenging party.
She is older than she looks and (born 1971) is now 53. By 2029, she will be 58. Perhaps she has little interest in continuing beyond that point.
As for Starmer, I said on the blog, about a week or so after GE 2024, that he had already failed in government.

“Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany’s main opposition party, the CDU, said that “Ukraine can never defeat Russia, and that was never the goal.” In an interview with Bild, he said that the allies are helping Ukraine “not to lose the war.”

And Russia must stop attacking this country. We must do everything to make Russia consider the continuation of the war hopeless. But we are quite far from that.”

Reminder: Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says free speech is a weapon of war, and censorship is necessary to protect free speech. pic.twitter.com/iM4g7RbyO7
That horrible creature of Evil, Jacinda Ardern, has been a major player in the attempt to create a world anti-white, anti-free speech dictatorship. New Zealand may be far away from almost everywhere but until about 30 years ago was an almost entirely English/Scottish new-ish society. That, of course, had to be trashed… How did they do it? Same as everywhere else of importance— imported non-white populations, and destroyed free speech.
People talk a lot of nonsense about how the white settlers took over the existing Maori state in the 19thC. There is of course a kernel of truth in that, but the main Maori invasion and/or settlement was in the 14thC AD, only c.400 years before the white European settlement. In any case, after the Europeans and Maori came to agreement, New Zealand was a progressive and peaceful society until the late 20thC.
Jacinda Ardern worked at a fairly high level for the UK Labour Party under Blair-Brown for 1-2 years before relocating back to New Zealand.
15 years as MP, of which about 6 were also years as Prime Minister (2017-2023).
One puzzling aspect of Jacinda Ardern’s political regime is that she came to power as Prime Minister with a rather small amount of capital, yet is now said to be worth tens of millions of NZ dollars. How?

Anyone who has lived in the USA knows to what extent the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby controls the major parts of the news media (TV stations, radio stations, the newspapers, magazines etc). I do not hear John Kerry talking about that, though…
While admittedly not germane to the tweet above, I do find it puzzling that the parents of Ed and David Miliband were supposedly “poor refugees” “fleeing” “Nazi-ism”, so how did they obviously have so much money?
“Belgian-born Marxist sociologist Ralph Miliband and Polish-born Marion Kozak [were] both from Polish Jewish families.[1][7][8] The latter was a teacher before she became a homemaker. He was given the middle name of “Wright” after the American sociologist C. Wright Mills, a friend of his father.[9] He has said “I am the child of Jewish immigrants and that is a very important part of my identity.”[7]
Both his Polish Jewish paternal grandparents lived in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw. His paternal grandfather, Samuel, a trained leather worker, served in the Red Army in the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921 before moving to Belgium.[10][11] His paternal grandmother, Renia (later known as Renée), also moved to Belgium, where she first met Sam, and the couple married in 1923.[12]
The German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England,[13] while Ralph’s mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950.”
[Wikipedia]
“Miliband’s parents grew up in the impoverished Jewish quarter of Warsaw, Poland. His father Samuel Miliband (1895–1966) was a member of the socialist Jewish Labour Bund in Warsaw.[11]“
[Wikipedia]
“Ralph married Polish-born Marion Kozak in September 1961.[25] She was the daughter of a steel manufacturer, David Kozak, with a Polish Jewish heritage, and also one of his former students at the LSE. They made a home in Primrose Hill, and later in Bolton Gardens, South Kensington, and had two sons, David in 1965 and Edward in 1969.“
So they flee penniless, supposedly, from mainland Europe, and not only get jobs in London; they have a house or apartment (I think house), firstly in the affluent area of Primrose Hill, and then in the extremely affluent/wealthy area of The Boltons, in South Kensington.
Even in the 1950s and 1960s, those were very expensive areas.
Moreover, their two children both go to university, and not just any university but Oxford (Corpus Christi).
Ed Miliband had so much money that, when he became Labour Party leader, Jeremy Paxman actually taxed him in interview with the question as to whether he had ever had trouble paying a bill. He floundered.
Puzzling all the same. We always hear how the “Nazis” confiscated all Jewish property. Does that mean that those Jews had riches stashed in other countries? If so, at least some “Nazi” propaganda would seem to be based on truth…

I was glad, though, to see/hear the amusingly nerdy young custodian (?) or historian at Bletchley Park refer, correctly, to the encrypted matter and codes being studied as “German“, rather than “Nazi“.

By my use of Electoral Calculus, that might translate to Lab 476 Commons seats (overall majority 302), Con 68 (official Opposition), LibDems 62, SNP 13, Reform UK 4, Plaid Cymru 4, Greens 2 (Northern Ireland 18, Others 3).
What kind of “democracy” is it, though, when a party (Labour) might get 39% of the popular vote, yet get about 72% of the seats in the House of Commons (476 seats)? A strict 39% of seats would be 253 seats.
Another party (Conservatives) might get 19% of the popular vote, meaning, on strict mathematical equivalence, about 124 seats, not the mere 68 conferred by FPTP voting.
As for Reform UK, its present or forecast 17% should confer (under proportional voting) about 111 seats. The forecast under FPTP voting— a mere 4.
There again, the LibDems, with only 10% of the popular vote, are forecast to have 62 seats, almost the same as under a strict proportional allocation (65).
Can such an electoral system even be called “democratic”? Open question.

By my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that actually puts the Cons in a marginally better position than other recent polls, by reason of the slip in Labour’s position, but it still means Lab 466 (overall majority 282), Con 70, LibDem 70, Reform UK 4, Greens 2.

Penny Mordaunt is campaigning not so much for the Conservative Party as for her own political career (in fact, her career full stop, for she has no other). It seems 50-50, at best, that she will be re-elected anyway.
Labour is as dull as ditchwater, as witness its pathetic Manifesto for the General Election, but I do not think that it much matters now. The main aim of 80%+, maybe even 90%, of the electorate is to get rid of the Conservative Party not just for the next 5 years but permanently. Starmer and fake Labour will only fail to sweep all before them —by default— if something so devastating happens to their campaign that it is hard to imagine what.

[a rainy night in Tunis; I last trod that pavement in 1986]
On this day in 1938, Austria became part of the German Reich, the forces of the Wehrmacht having crossed the border unopposed on the previous day, welcomed enthusiastically by crowds of Austrian people passed en route:
“On the morning of 12 March 1938, the 8th Army of the German Wehrmacht crossed the border into Austria. The troops were greeted by cheering Austrians with Nazi salutes, Nazi flags, and flowers.[57]
For the Wehrmacht, the invasion was the first big test of its machinery. Although the invading forces were badly organized and coordination among the units was poor, it mattered little because the Austrian government had ordered the Austrian Bundesheer not to resist.[58]
That afternoon, Hitler, riding in a car, crossed the border at his birthplace, Braunau am Inn, with a 4,000 man bodyguard.[53] In the evening, he arrived at Linz and was given an enthusiastic welcome.
The enthusiasm displayed toward Hitler and the Germans surprised both Nazis and non-Nazis, as most people had believed that a majority of Austrians opposed Anschluss.[59][60]
Many Germans from both Austria and Germany welcomed the Anschluss as they saw it as completing the complex and long overdue unification of all Germans into one state.”

“Most people...” in the UK etc were no doubt being informed, or misinformed, by newspapers owned by or influenced by “the usual suspects” (the “you-know-who”…). The enthusiasm of Austrians for Anschluss was therefore a shock to them.

“Russia responded to unprecedented Western sanctions with an “indecent gesture” – CBC.
In early February, Vladimir Putin joked that he wanted to show a “well-known gesture” to the sanctions-imposing West, but would not do so because there were “many girls in the room.”
Instead, the Russian president boasted about the country’s economy and its ability to expand its military-industrial complex in the face of unprecedented sanctions, writes CBC journalist Briar Stewart.
Indeed, over the past two years, the Russian government has managed to circumvent sanctions and limit inflation while investing nearly a third of its budget in defense spending. He also managed to increase trade with China and sell his oil to new markets, in part by using a shadow fleet of tankers to get around a price cap that Western countries hoped would reduce the country’s military budget.
In 2022, Western countries froze Russia’s sovereign assets worth $300 billion. Then more than 16 thousand sanctions were introduced. European airspace was closed to Russian aircraft, and hundreds of Western companies left Russia or curtailed their activities.
But today there are the latest iPhones and MacBooks on Russian shelves because government and business have largely been able to adapt. Russia has relied on Asia, and especially China, as its main economic lifeline. Russia’s ability to produce weapons and use its oil money to finance them is a pressing issue for Ukraine, which is struggling with arms and ammunition shortages, and for its allies.
“However, there are no simple steps left to tighten the sanctions regime. It’s a game of cat and mouse. Any delays in making decisions on additional sanctions give Russia the opportunity to adjust its policies and its economy,” the article says.”

Because every day more and more Ukrainians die, more and more Russian conscripts, more and more Ukraine is destroyed. If you care about the Ukrainian people, you should worry about this too.
We don’t have a winning strategy. The administration does not lay it out. If we are going to support Ukraine, it must be done in a way that forces Putin to come to the negotiating table and end this war. I don’t hear it at all. I hear that President Biden hasn’t even talked to Russia on this issue. And I would be very interested to know what happened in Istanbul shortly after the war began, when Boris Johnson, essentially halfway through the Biden administration, torpedoed the peace agreement.
So we really need to do a complete re-evaluation of this issue. And we should secure our own border before sending $60 billion down the rat hole to secure other countries.”
Quite. In fact, you could give the Zelensky regime USD $60BN or $600BN, and it would make no difference. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cannot “win”, even to the extent of “taking back” Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk, let alone anything more ambitious.
The present Ukraine is a failed state, and in fact a fake state.

“Russian troops advance even though Zelensky says Moscow’s forces are ‘stopped’ – Newsweek.
“Russia’s offensive has been stopped,” Zelensky told French broadcaster BFM TV on Monday. “Our command, our military stopped Russia’s offensive in eastern Ukraine.”
But Western analysts say Russian troops continue to advance in the Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Kharkov and Luhansk regions. “Russian troops recently achieved confirmed successes in the areas of Bakhmut, Avdeevka and Donetsk amid ongoing positional battles along the entire line of contact on March 12,” Newsweek quotes analysts.
In the Kupyansky direction there is progress in the area of the village of Sinkovka. In the south, Russian troops are regaining positions lost during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023. Fierce fighting broke out around such settlements as Robotino, Urozhainoye and Staromayorskoye.
To repel the Russian onslaught, Kyiv has mobilized some of its best units, equipped with American-made armored vehicles and tanks, Newsweek notes.“
“I don’t want to cross this line”: Scholz again stated that he is against the supply of Taurus missiles to Kyiv
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Wednesday that supplying Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles would be “irresponsible,” Politico reported.
“The Germans have a Health Minister who’s only qualification is a Certificate in Business Studies and a so called Covid expert working at the Robert Koch Institute who’s only qualification is having one in Veterinary science.” [the published comment of a Daily Mail reader].

People across Europe are starting to fight for freedom. A small minority, yes, but backed by many millions of others. There is always a vanguard ahead of the mob.
In the Netherlands, the Dutch police fired at random into the crowd, killing two protesters. So much for the superficially “caring sharing” Dutch state…oh, and incidentally…the Daily Mail chose not to report that fact.

That is where we are in the UK: suppression of real news, endless (and endlessly dull) recounting of the official versions of “fake news” (mainly “Covid” nonsense, with some “climate change” stuff tacked on, and there is little or no real difference among the main System news outlets: BBC, Sky, ITN etc. Britain is now largely (((occupied))) territory. ZOG.

I was going to add something about Brenton Tarrant, but the repression of free speech in the UK is now such that a degree of self-censorship afflicts even me…
Anyone who has visited an NHS hospital in the past 18 months (as I have, several times, as a specially-permitted visitor) must have noticed that hospitals have been largely empty, the few staff almost unoccupied. There are, probably, exceptions to my impression(s), perhaps in a few large cities, but I have seen what I have seen.
When confronted with the total hypocrisy of private jets and 50-vehicle motorcades for oligarchs and imperialists attending a "climate change" conference predicated on demonizing a carbon gas "emergency"… this is how a socialist responds: "Did you expect them to walk?" https://t.co/LYJ1smgpDipic.twitter.com/IYrXr1oyJM
The pseudo-socialists on Twitter are just me-too idiots, whose only aim is to “deplatform” those with whose views and ideas they disapprove. No ideas about society, except that everything would, they imagine, be much better if advanced white societies were flooded even more by the backward and unpleasant from the black/brown areas of the Earth. They are basically “useful idiots” for those pushing the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
In fact, there is a need to depopulate, but the devil is in the detail. What is needed now is for the European populations to stay pretty much at their present levels, but for there to be a large-scale diminution of the non-European populations.
They changed the definition of case. They changed the definition of infection. They changed the definition of herd immunity. They changed the definition of vaccine. And they wonder why so many people are suspicious that something odd is going on.
Ecce, the complete unreality of the pseudo-socialist Twitterati. Wales as an independent country? It never has been, unless you count its prehistoric origins: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales#History.
Wales is small (the same size as New Jersey, at about 8,000 square miles), and has three million people. Its resources traditionally lay in sub-surface minerals and rocks: coal, slate etc, now not hugely valuable or competitive internationally.
The agricultural sector relies on subsidy, much of Welsh agriculture consisting of uneconomic hill farms.
Tourism exists, mainly in some coastal towns but also elsewhere.
An independent Wales would be a very poor little state.
Aaron Bastani’s tweet, above, seems to envisage an independent socialist Wales. It seems to me that Wales is better off as part of the UK. After all, without UK (English) subsidy, Wales would have little money to subsidize its farming sector, the coal mines are merely historical now (and part of the “heritage tourism” trade), the slate mines still exist here and there but are hardly the basis for statehood’s necessary income, and tourism could not bear the financial load of true “statehood”. What else is there? Not much, I think.
In my view, a truly independent and socialist Wales would be as poor as North Korea after a while. An extreme view? Not really. How would the Welsh Government fund hospitals, schools, and so on?
Not that it could not be done. Will is all. If the 3,000,000 people resident in Wales (many of them now English) were to vote for real independence, they could make it work, up to a point. Why not? However, they would have to accept living standards far below even the modest ones now existent.
A good example of the political, or social, or ideological cover the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” gives to political apparatchiki. Had those “Abos” been detained for any other reason, or under any other excuse, the pseudo-socialists, “human rights” bods etc, even the msm talking heads, would have been outraged and up in arms against it. Not this time, because…”Covid”…the magic word that quells all opposition.
James O'Brien caller: 'The tolerance for antivaxxers may fall down when ICU beds run out and they're occupied by the unvaccinated.'@mrjamesobpic.twitter.com/uhzzKEh2mS
System mouthpiece James O’Brien expressing support for “more meaningful measures“, meaning forced “vaccination”, camps for dissidents etc.
O’Brien says that only a “tiny minority” oppose such measures. Not true, but, how strange, the vast majority in England want NO MORE MASS IMMIGRATION, yet when it comes to migration-invasion, msm/System mouthpiece O’Brien seems to prefer the views of the “tiny minority” (the “refugees welcome” dimwits, the Jewish lobby —mostly pro-immigration— etc)…
'When dementia hits me at least they can't take my house away…'
Useless (at his job), irritating, ignorant (but paid a few hundred grand a year anyway…) Jeremy Vine, showing incredible (?) bias, with guests the hugely ignorant scribbler (poses as “journalist”) Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, and Daily Mail scribbler, something (?) Pierce. That is what the msm serve up to the watching populace as a “discussion”, with the presenter, Vine, advocating that the government use “snitches“, fines, prison, “spot checks” of documents etc to repress those who defy “vaccination” with useless fake vaccines.
At least the DDR [East Germany] did not seriously pretend to have “civil rights”…
When the Hungarian Uprising occurred in 1956, those most closely involved with the repression of the population (secret policemen etc) were caught, and some of them suffered the supreme penalty at the hands of the rebels.
Britain was once proud of its civil rights. Even during WW2, when rights were partly suspended, few openly called for the introduction of a complete police state…yet here now in the UK, we see mediocre System msm mouthpieces openly calling for a system of secret informers, denunciation of neighbours and family members, authoritarian police presence on the streets and checking “papers”, and “volunteer co-workers” helping the State to keep the population repressed.
All that, notionally, for suppression of a virus which has (supposedly) killed about ONE in every FOUR THOUSAND people in the world (1 in 1,000 in the UK)…
A little Ostalgie?

Meanwhile “our” MPs in the UK (almost all bought by the Jewish/Israel lobby) yap about “holocaust” “denial”, and hate the idea of any questioning of the largely-faked WW2 “holocaust” farrago…
Israel loves all that. It provides wonderful cover for the Israeli state.

Largely thanks to Russell Pasha , who ( as Muggeridge described in Vol 1 of his autobiography) was appalled by marijuana’s effects in Egypt. The League of Nations of Nations then listed it as dangerous. https://t.co/6sFMOVdMzh
And yet the first steps toward making international trafficking of marijuana illegal were taken at the League of Nations' 1925 Opium Convention, on the urging of Egypt. https://t.co/T0LoH7I4DS
Though I tend instinctively to be against at least excessive regulation and prohibition, the fact is that marijuana has had very deleterious effects on a number of modern and earlier societies.
@cinziaspina77 I know of no instance of anyone becoming pemanently mentally ill following the consumption of doughnuts, or of them committing severe acts of violence afterwards. If this becomes widespread, then perhaps a law prohibitng possession of doughnuts *would* make sense. https://t.co/WsNCgkLNdv
Every now and then, I experience what might be called a “Victor Meldrew” feeling, meaning a feeling (actually knowing) that, increasingly, nothing in the UK works as it should, or indeed at all. Meaning commercial companies, NHS, local and central government, police, the legal system…you name it…
I never saw the One Foot in the Grave TV series, and was only told of it long after it finished. Now I am wondering whether it might not have been prophetic as much as characteristic…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Foot_in_the_Grave].
Look at our politics. A part-Jew chancer and incompetent as (posing as) Prime Minister, and a colourless careerist nobody (and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby) posing as Leader of the Opposition, a Opposition that does not oppose. I saw this about Starmer:
John Kay broke stories. Keir Starmer broke him. Why this story matters for the Labour Party now. My column in the @EveningStandard today.https://t.co/DRiUsr0Nlw
Why does @ChtyCommission allow Zionist groups to ‘police’ UK citizens using tactics synonymous with The Cheka police. How long before ‘volunteers’ claim leather coats on expenses? Make no mistake #Chekism is alive and well just watch Joe Glasman’s video. https://t.co/zZvuGe5HWg
Heartbreaking scenes from Gaza shows a Palestinian man sobs after Israeli airstrikes killed his 4 children. He still can't believe that he lost them.“ 4 children have gone” he said.
Meanwhile, BBC Radio 4 Today Programme allowed the Chief Pharisee to drone on this morning, on its Thought for the Day slot, about the latest upcoming Jewish supremacist religious festival. The Chief Pharisee talked about “our nation”, referring to the UK, when he was born in South Africa and spent most of his life in Israel! Talk about “cultural appropriation”! I call it theft. Simply that. Theft. Theft of a nation. Theft of a culture.
One of the most striking things about the above clip is the number of typical Jewish facial types that can be seen. Straight from the pages of Der Sturmer, circa 1935. “Gene types”, if you like.

Austria, a craven little nation now entirely in the pocket of NWO, the Jews and Israel. “Echt-ZOG”. The Austrian Chancellor is now Sebastian Kurz, a university drop-out, finance-capitalist puppet and globalist.
He’s serious! Actually, it did occur to me some time ago that Blair might try to head Labour again, and it also occurred to me that that might be one reason why he did not enter the House of Lords (now a bad joke anyway, like the Commons).
I doubt that Blair would make the Labour Party more electable, but he could scarcely do worse than Starmer, I suppose. Both are puppets of NWO and Israel, so no difference there.
UPDATE: At least 31 schools attended by 24,000 children and a health facility in Gaza have been damaged by Israeli air raids, according to Save the Children.
If only the Arabs had not been not so disunited and corrupt after (and before) 1956. They might have eliminated Israel or subdued it before it became the evil monster that it now is— armed to the teeth, and possessing nuclear, biological and other weapons of mass destruction. Before, also, it had managed to corrupt the political leaders of so many nations.
A blow for her lawyers too: do I detect the sound of a mobility scooter being revved up for the trip back to Eilat?
I have blogged rather extensively in the past few years about “no win- no fee” solicitor, “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (mostly “no win”: when he fled to Israel in late 2018 after having been found guilty by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority of abusing people online, his sole assets were described as being some cheap clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and…a mobility scooter!).
Lewis has been plotting against me (with other Zionist Jews) for years; since at least 2012 (see my old blog posts below for details).
