Oxfam are in a ‘hypocrisy’ row after the charity paid one worker at least £340,000 in a year.

The payout was made in the year that the anti-poverty charity’s staff have had to rely on food banks to survive, which prompted the organisation’s first-ever strike over poor pay.

Around eight per cent of staff have used foodbanks, 22 per cent could not pay their rent, and 34 per cent had to choose between heating and eating, according to a union survey.

But the organisation’s had an income of £373 million and reserves of £44.6 million in 2021/2022, according to accounts.

The charity coughed up £340,000 to £349,000 in the year to March, 31, 2022, to a single overseas worker.

Anyone who gives money to Oxfam these days is a total mug.

I stopped donating spare change and old coats etc when Oxfam started its multi-million anti-apartheid campaign against South Africa in the 1980s. Well, apartheid has gone, but poverty in Africa, including South Africa, is still there, and in South Africa more severe than it was then.

The head of Oxfam is a Sri Lankan aged 47 who, having been a student until age 28-29, gets £150,000 a year from Oxfam alone: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhananjayan_Sriskandarajah. He is part of the WEF “young global leaders” set-up (as were the sinister Jacinda Ardern and others).

In fact, the whole worldwide “aid” “industry” is rotten to the core in various ways.

Ministers were accused of a cover-up last night after it was revealed that soldiers did secretly spy on British critics of the Government’s response to Covid.

The release of new documents contradict official assertions that a shadowy Army unit had only been monitoring foreign powers.

The Mail on Sunday revealed earlier this year that military operatives in the UK’s ‘information warfare’ brigade were part of a sinister scheme to keep a close eye on politicians and high-profile journalists who raised doubts about the pandemic response.

Silkie Carlo, director of Big Brother Watch, last night said: ‘The MoD’s claims that the information warfare unit’s secretive work was focused solely on overseas threats are now, ironically, clearly disinformation acting as a cover-up for their political surveillance.

Free Press and free speech are the foundations of any democracy, yet journalists and politicians appear to be treated like the enemy within.”

[Mail on Sunday]

“Free speech” is pretty much dead in the UK now. As regular readers will know, I was recently convicted under a law (Communications Act 2003, s.127) which the Law Commission has recommended for repeal, and simply by reason of a few remarks and cartoons, some about Jewish behaviour, allegedly posted on this blog.

As recently as the 1990s, there was still at least some freedom of expression left. No more. “They” (mostly, but together with the whole “woke” movement, the “antifa” idiots etc) have killed it. The beneficiaries? Mostly “the usual suspects”, but also the transnational conspiracy often termed “NWO/ZOG”.

Britain has gone mad. Of course, when I say “Britain”, that refers mainly though not entirely to the Westminster monkeyhouse, the (((occupied))) msm, and the worlds of academia and publishing.

Britain needs a gigantic cultural purge.

As for Rosie Duffield, she has allowed herself, in past years, to be used as a puppet by the Jew-Zionist lobby, but that has not saved her from the mincing machine: see https://www.kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/news/kent-mp-investigated-for-liking-anti-semitic-tweet-297561/.

Were Rosie Duffield to leave Parliament, I suppose that she might find it hard to get a job, having worked (as a teaching assistant) for only a few years, despite now being 52 (she became an MP in 2017): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Duffield.

CAA” is the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. They sent one of their goblins in June to attend a preliminary hearing of my recent free speech trial, and one of their chief goblins turned up at the trial itself (held on Friday, 17 November 2023).

Anyone who makes common cause with the “CAA” goblins must be considered a traitor.

Most of the idiots supporting further (or indeed the existing) migration invasion indulge in “magical thinking”; they have no idea where to house or how to feed (etc) more than half a million, i.e. about 700,000 (net) incomers per year. In 5 years, that would be and probably will be (?) 2.5M, 3.5M or more “new” UK inhabitants.

The figure for Labour of course includes a high proportion of non-European immigrants or descendants of recent (post-1945) immigrants.

Noticeable that even those whom Goodwin calls the “new elite“, half of them (49%) anyway, think that immigration is now too high. Even they are now starting to run scared of what they themselves have done, facilitated, or encouraged.

The “Ann Brough” tweeter [Update: that tweet was deleted by the tweeter] displays the usual “magical thinking” common to pro-immigration idiots. False cartoon-economics and, lack of thought generally. She describes herself as “optimist and dreamer“. Fine, so long as you do not throw away all thought and logic (as pro-immigration idiots always do).

Stray thoughts

You often hear or see the statement “The Third Reich was terrible because [whatever].” Often cited is euthanasia of the terribly mentally or even physically disabled etc. Few consider that that or similar happened also in the USA, UK etc in the 1930s, though not often admitted to.

When people today say that they are, say, Roman Catholic, do other people say “so you support the Inquisition?!” or “so you support the torture and genocide of the Cathars?!” No…yet the same or similar questioners might say to someone who is social-national politically, “so you support euthanasia of the badly-disabled?!” or “you support gassing Jews?!” (leaving aside the doubtful proposition about whether the fabled “gas chambers” even existed). They might as well demand an answer to the question “so you want to invade Poland?!“.

Point made, I think.

Is that true? I wonder. Example: one-trick-pony actress Maureen Lipman has “threatened” to leave the UK (for Israel or USA) several times over the years. Never happened. These days she “cosplays” being scared by having a “minder” sometimes trail her from time to time (photographed for Press use, of course).

I have not been sentenced yet (late January 2024 or February 2024). There will be argument over whether “culpability” was “high”, “medium” or “low” (I say low, of course, and think that the law and material facts are on my side); as to “harm” (harm done by the alleged actions), even the Prosecution, and indeed the Court itself, accepted at and before trial that no harm at all was done by the cartoons and remarks attributed to me.

Well, I await my fate…

After sentencing, I have 15 working days, i.e. three weeks, in which to decide whether to appeal either to Crown Court or, on point of law, to the Divisional Court (High Court).

If I do appeal, the whole matter may not come to a conclusion until sometime in 2025.

50,000 (if so) out of about 10M inhabitants of the London area (i.e. about 1 out of every 200 London inhabitants. In fact, Jews and supportive poor saps from —I have seen tweets— as far away as Cardiff and Manchester are there. On that basis, 50,000 out of about 70M people in the UK as a whole. About 1 protester out of every 1,400 inhabitants of the UK.

Not so impressive.

Diary Blog, 26 August 2022, with thoughts about NHS maladministration, and also the rotten charity sector

Afternoon music

On this day a year ago

NHS

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11147191/NHS-doctor-says-implore-beg-borrow-steal-private.html

Comment unnecessary…

Further to the above, I happened to hear a story about yet another example of the all-too-typical NHS maladministration and inability to make logical and useful decisions.

The story came to me third-hand, admittedly, but is believed to be accurate.

A lady who is apparently registered blind (I myself do not know her) was asked to attend an eye clinic at Poole, in Dorset. This is, again, apparently (I have no personal knowledge of it), a new NHS eye clinic, so this is not a case of some old and unrenovated NHS building.

The said clinic operates out of what was a department store, Beales, in Poole: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/19795332.nhs-hospital-clinic-beales-store-welcomes-first-patients/.

[NHS eye clinic, Poole, Dorset (top floor)]

The NHS has put out public relations material praising itself for the new unit: https://www.uhd.nhs.uk/news/latest-news-list/134-2021/1465-nhs-in-dorset-thinks-big-to-tackle-the-number-of-outpatients-waiting-for-a-face-to-face-appointment-and-the-time-they-have-to-wait.

The lady in question was told by the NHS that no ambulance would be available to take her from her home in the New Forest to Poole, but that local taxi companies offered discounted fares. The “discounted fare” turned out to be £100 (return-trip). The lady concerned is a very aged pensioner.

It gets worse. It seems that the eye clinic, on the top floor of a 7-storey building, has only stairs or an escalator; no lift. The escalator does not go to the top two floors of the building, and the blind old lady cannot use escalators without assistance anyway, I am told, so if she went there she would have to go up some 14 flights of stairs unaided, at the age of, I think, 90 or more.

Result? That lady will not be able to attend that clinic.

Leaving aside the individual case, what does that say about the ability of NHS people to plan and design properly? Not much to their credit, I think.

Comment once again surely unnecessary…

I have to admit that I take it with a pinch of salt anyway when a multimillionaire cries about the plight of the poor and struggling…

Charities have become a “rotten borough”

One of the most sad and indeed angering aspects of the UK in recent years has been the trashing of the charity sector, not because of lack of money but because of politicization and near-embezzlement (paying of often mediocre top staff huge salaries). The damage has mostly been done by those who themselves work in the charities.

We have seen, for example, sex scandals in Oxfam, Save the Children and others. Readers might recall the scandals around sex-pest Brendan Cox, who was married to assassinated Labour MP Jo Cox. He was paid something like £300,000 a year, despite coming from a fairly mediocre academic and work background (though, as always these days, “bigged-up”, in the rather crude current phrase: see https://uk.linkedin.com/in/brendan-cox-433b364).

£300,000 per year, to be not even the head of Save the Children, but the (I believe) third-in-command. People on modest incomes give their pounds and pennies to such organizations, only for, in that case, the top three in the set-up to have creamed off a million pounds a year in salaries alone. Disgrace.

The charity sector in the UK is a totally “rotten borough”. Look at the recent activities of the RNLI and National Trust. The former has been operating what amounts to a ferry service for migrant-invaders, and I read that thousands of virtue-signallers have as a result donated to it! When the provision of housing and healthcare is stretched to snapping point because of mass immigration, I suppose that those idiots will not even once blame their own encouragement of the invasion.

As to the RNLI itself, it has obviously been infiltrated at a high level.

National Trust? I think that the cartoons below say enough:

I am very much in favour of charitable work but, as a sector, the whole charitable area has gone badly astray, and in a number of ways.

This winter?

Was sent this (inc. the photograph). Source unknown, but sounds correct:

As we speak there’s a UK government department working with consultants on a strategy for controlling dissent this winter.

There will be a wall to wall media campaign of “blitz spirit” images of families and the multiracial Britain wearing jumpers and socks for Ukraine, with the blame aimed at Vladolf Putler.

This message will then be disseminated through the population by media addicted busybody women looking for the latest do-good cause and fuel poverty marches will get zero media coverage.

This is how control of liberal democracies works now. You’re all atomised individuals, capital owns media and the NPCs enforce the dominant narrative sufficiently.”

Looking at those tweets, I actually had to remind myself that Zahawi is, for the moment, Chancellor of the Exchequer. A bloody Kurd from Baghdad, who only arrived in the UK when 11 years old.

What a mess this country is in! Hardly any of the last few governments have even had many white English MPs in the top jobs. Jews, part-Jews, Indians, blacks, half-castes, a Kurd…you name it.

On top of that, this particular non-Brit is one of the most corrupt persons possible to have in the once-exalted job of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Had (as I have been blogging for years) the UK forged closer links with Russia and its people, we should have been able to buy Russian gas at knockdown prices, and would not now be facing shortages of energy, and our people going cold because of UK Government policy.

The difference being that the profits in Norway go into their sovereign wealth fund, used for the benefit of the Norwegian people, whereas the “British” gas companies profiteer for the benefit of parasitic banks and investment companies, as well as for multimillionaire shareholders.

The dishevelled drunk and/or drug abuser shown in the clip seems to be, if not an accredited U.S. diplomat, then at least an Embassy employee with a pass and, presumably, at least limited immunity, watching him show his pass to the Russian policeman and then be admitted to the Embassy by the U.S. Marine guards or other security people.

I have previously blogged once or twice how I visited the UK bacteriological research centre at Porton Down with a Mr. Komisarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], the then Ukrainian Ambassador, and the Scientific Attache of the Ukrainian Embassy in London. That was in or about 1994, I believe. The Ambassador had an educational background in microbiology. According to Wikipedia, he is now, or until recently was, the director of such a laboratory in Ukraine.

Diary Blog, 11 June 2021, including thoughts about politicization of charities, and about the Maya Forstater case

The charity sector— a “rotten borough”

Sadly, the charity sector has, over decades, developed into a “rotten borough”. There have been so many scandals. Oxfam alone has had many. Legal and political scandals around “charitable status”; sex scandals; money-related scandals. Why?

I believe that, looking at the larger charities, the basic problem is one of focus, going back to those recruited.

There was always a “campaigning” aspect to many of these charities, inasmuch as many of them have always regarded it as part of their remit to campaign for changes in the law, or changes in public behaviour. Examples would include the Salvation Army, and the League Against Cruel Sports, to name but two.

There is inevitably a grey area between such “political” or socio-political campaigning, and outright politicking. This came to a head in the 1980s when it emerged that Oxfam was spending huge amounts of money (money mainly donated by well-meaning members of the public) not only on direct alleviation of poverty in Africa (etc), and not even on effective but indirect poverty-alleviation (eg supporting schools in Africa), but on political propaganda such as anti-apartheid stuff (the false narrative being that poverty in Africa as a whole was somehow caused by apartheid in South Africa, despite the fact that the Africans in South Africa were often better off than Africans in other African states).

In fact, the now nearly 30 years of (notional) black African rule in South Africa have proven that apartheid was not the only or even main factor holding back 99.9% of South African blacks. The new South Africa has quite as much inequality of capital and income as the old South Africa, together with rocketing crime and corruption. All that and virtue-signalling too!

In the UK charity/NGO sector, there have been all the scandals around money and sex, such as at Save The Children, where the head of the organization was getting about £400,000 a year, and where his cronies at the top were getting £200,000 or more, one such crony being the sex-pest Brendan Cox, the then husband of Labour Party MP Jo Cox (who was assassinated in 2016).

The roots of these problems go back to the kind of people recruited. Typical of our age: virtue-signalling “woke” hypocrites, but who are also very interested in money.

There is, also, a persistent problem with many charity staff, at the higher (careerist) levels, being anti-white, meaning anti-European race and culture.

The Maya Forstater case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Forstater_v_Centre_for_Global_Development

I have blogged, about the general questions raised, once or twice in the past: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/11/15/when-reality-becomes-subjective/

He was right. We are pretty much there now…

Good grief! Incredible that there are still some people who have not woken up to the idiocy of “Boris”.

Khrushchev, in his memoirs, criticized Malenkov as a “filing clerk” and said that that was the worst kind of person to have power given to him. In our society, in the UK of 2021, we have given power to chancers such as “Boris” and little Matt Hancock, but in reality to those behind them, such as the narrowminded medical and statistics zealots of “SAGE” (aka “DUMB”, the Department Under Matt and Boris). Not to mention types such as Dominic Cummings. Result? Misery…

“Judith Gleeson”? [nb. not “Gleason” ]. Hm… I think so…((()))…[https://www.pragueprocess.eu/en/training-academy/expert-network/604-gleeson-1].

“The land of freedom”…

The UK’s multikulti toytown police state in operation. Pathetic, yet at the same time chilling…

Of course, The Handmaid’s Tale is fiction, literary fantasy, but reflective of a outline of possible future reality, just as The Protocols of Zion are literary fantasy yet in a sense “true”, in that they clothe the reality which is coming to pass via, inter alia, NWO, ZOG, the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, the “Covid-19” “situation” etc.

Incidentally, I see that Martin Daubney’s clip shows Vauxhall Underground Station. I wonder how many, if any (?) SIS staff who use that station, and are not asleep, and see what “British” society now is, have any reservations about defending it?

Sadly, many British people are now scared rabbits, wearing bloody facemasks even in the open air, even when walking alone. That applies particularly to the older population; as to the younger, “woke virtue-signalling idiots” covers many of them. I expect no revolt from the majority, just frightened compliance, maybe with more “North Korea-lite” clapping on command…

There is only one way…

I have not had the vaccine(s); I shall not have the vaccine(s). In youth, I always hoped to die in battle. Who knows…That may now be unlikely, but never say never…

Well…does that come under “cultural appropriation”, “cultural insult”, or some sub-species of “white genocide”?

Push her off…

Jew-Zionist gets Oxfam to burn books

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/13/oxfam-removes-antisemitic-books-sale-israels-uk-ambassador-tweets/

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/oxfam-pulls-protocols-of-elders-of-zion-from-online-shop/

I suggest that anyone who can spare a few pounds buys from other places (Amazon and Abe Books are infested and will not usually sell it, but you can google for “Judenfrei” suppliers) a copy of The Protocols of Zion. Then send it either to any prison library (in UK, new paperbacks only are accepted), or to the school or college library of whatever institutes of learning that they may have attended in the past.

Freedom of expression on social, political and historical topics must be protected. The Jewish-Zionist lobby is trying, in various ways, to restrict that freedom for its own tribal ends and purposes.

 

CZpdYWeW0AQXGc_scan25

The Protocols of Zion, often misdescribed as “a forgery”, is in fact literary fantasy which, however, describes the outline of a true situation. I suggest that it be disseminated and read as widely as possible.

System desperation

Both BBC News and Sky News featured an opinion poll claiming that most UK people think that the government of Boris-idiot is handling Coronavirus well. This must be “fake news”. Admittedly, I have spoken directly to few people about this, but so far no-one at all thinks that this complacent excuse for a government is behaving well or efficiently. Social media, again, is a poor guide to full public opinion, but Twitter is largely scathing.

It seems to me that the System is desperate to maintain a narrative to the effect that it “has control”, when in reality it has lost control. It does not take much of a leap of imagination to envisage what might happen in an even worse situation.

Good news

Good point

Political leadership

I would normally never republish a tweet by doormat-for-Zionism and expenses cheat, ex-MP Ian Austin, but his clip is worth watching.

Say what you like about Blair (and I am and always have been totally opposed to him), but he is or was a pretty good public speaker. (Shame, though, about the deliberate importation of  untold millions of blacks, browns, Roma gypsies and low-pay labour units, war on behalf of the NWO and Israel in Iraq, “mega-casino” plans, and most of his other policies…).

Coronavirus latest

https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/coronavirus-boris-johnson-tougher-restrictions

I was and still am sceptical about some of the conspiracy theories that  have been emerging, but I am now wondering where this is going (whether by design or opportunism): “Ministers are urging Boris Johnson to pass legislation that will radically extend the government’s emergency powers capabilities beyond the current 30 day time-limit.” [BuzzFeed News]

Profiteering

It is rare that I agree with “antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery, but I do on the very rare occasions when he tweets the truth:

I included a London example in my blog yesterday:

In some countries, in wartime or emergency times, profiteers like that are taken out and shot.
