[Early 1940s: French girlfriend of an Untersturmfuhrer (2nd lieutenant) of SS-Totenkopf, wearing his uniform tunic and cap, presumably as a joke, and to have her photograph taken]

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/30/russia-ukraine-swap-prisoners-exchange-deal

Russia and Ukraine swap at least 300 prisoners in exchange deal. Some of the freed Ukrainians had been held since war’s early days, while Russians were captured in Ukraine’s Kursk offensive.”

I am sure that they are all happy to go home. Incidentally, I notice that the Ukrainian prisoners shown in that photo released by the Kiev-regime side look well; not just happy but also in good health. It rather gives the lie to the stories, put about by the Zelensky regime, that Ukrainian POWs are being starved, brutalized etc by the Russians.

The latter tweeter, a propagandist for Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby [https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/alex-hearn-claims-to-oppose-antisemitism-but-undermines-the-fight-against-it/] says that “antisemitism” is a crime, which is not the case in England and Wales (or the rest of the UK). That has been re-iterated on several occasions by judges at both magistrates’ court and Crown Court level. Incidentally, the same is true of so-called “holocaust” “denial” (historical revision or revisionism re. some events of the early/mid 1940s).

I have no idea what Dutch law may say about that, though Jewish influence has always been pervasive in the Netherlands, a result no doubt of the country’s history of banking and commerce.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14236783/Saudi-Arabias-NEOM-suicide-rape-murder-report-claims.html

A report has claimed that migrant camps built to house construction workers building Saudi Arabia‘s $1trillion NEOM megacity are ‘plagued by gang rape, attempted murder and suicides’.

More than 100,000 workers, mainly from countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, live in the nightmarish camps where crime and drug use allegedly run rife.

If you took away the unmerited unearned riches the Gulf Arabs have had from the oil and gas found, developed, and refined by Europeans (including European-origined Americans), they would be back riding camels and living in tents. Men of straw.

The destruction wrought by Israeli forces in Gaza can truly be called “Biblical” in both scale and intent, as when the tribes mentioned in the Old Testament fought genocidal wars.

It is idle for Jew-Zionist lawyers (ludicrously, often those who pose as “human rights” specialists) to say that, because of X, Y, and Z, the Jewish/Israeli destruction and continuing slaughter in Gaza (for nearly 15 months now) is notgenocide” for various hair-splitting reasons. What has happened, what is still happening, speaks for itself.

Look at what has happened all around Israel/Palestine for years, for decades. “They” always bring degeneration and destruction to others.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Sowande]

Played today on Radio 3. The BBC presenter made an apparent error, saying that the composer served in the RAF during the Second World War. If Wikipedia is to be believed (and its version does seem far more credible), Sowande in fact worked at that time as musical adviser and composer in the Colonial Film Unit of the Ministry of Information in London, as well as giving talks on the BBC Africa Service.

Not bad. Showing, at least in my view, the influence of several British composers, including Vaughan Williams.

Every day, more of the same. The names of the villages mean little to most people, even in the former Soviet Union, but the upshot is that, every single day, Russian forces advance by a few miles, as the Kiev-regime forces fall back.

On that front, once the Russian forces, pushing north, get close to Kharkov, the Kiev-regime forces will be squeezed from at least two sides. Eventually, Kharkov must fall.

Once Kharkov falls, the whole of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper) will fall to Russian control.

Incidentally, though Kharkov itself is not very well-known to the Western public, it is the second-largest city in Ukraine, and the 19th-largest in Europe (by population).

[Kharkov]

Indeed, 4 of the 10 largest cities in geographic Europe are located in the former Soviet Union (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, and Baku). Minsk is ranked as no.11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_cities_by_population_within_city_limits.

It may seem trivial to be concerned about this very typical 2024 story, but it says something about the decline of Britain over, particularly, the past 20 years, as does the decline of that once-proud chocolate brand, Cadbury’s (now “Cadbury”), bought by a basically Jewish American company (Kraft), then trashed, its production moved to Eastern Europe and Asia, the British factories closed, the British workers sacked, the tradition and pride gone. “Cadbury” is now part of a global brand-owner called Mondelez.

It all betokens a shrinking of horizons, a decline, a sell-out in every way.

Late thoughts on New Year’s Eve

[“Hold up, Guv’nor! 2025 is about to start, and Ian Millard’s still blogging!“]

More seriously

God knows what 2025 will bring to the world, to Europe, to Britain, and to each of us, but we must all keep in mind the necessity for continuing human evolution, and that requires an ethno-cultural and socio-political foundation for a society which, over time, can create the basis for an eventual quantum leap in evolution, a race and society far ahead of any presently in existence.

On that basis, I wish every well-intentioned reader of the blog a Happy New Year!

(so much for their claims to be ancient, or to have any real connection to the Jews or Israelites mentioned in the Bible)…

Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!

“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!

“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?

“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.

“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?

“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?

That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?

Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!

[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]

New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.

The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.

According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?

Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).

It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.

Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

[American-oriented but still relevant to British socio-political attitudes]

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.

Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.

Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.

That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D.

Well, Myerson was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) after not very long. As for “KC”, I have noted before on the blog how it signifies not very much these days: in 1938, the later Lord Denning took silk, with three others, I believe, but in 2024 no less than one hundred silks (KCs) were appointed. “More will mean worse“, as Kingsley Amis said once in another context.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.

It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Younger.

What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).

The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.

They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.

Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nomresigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Saw an episode which had the former MP and Cabinet minister Justine Greening on one team. Her ignorance, though frankly unsurprising to me, should be regarded as shocking in a former Cabinet minister. She even thought that Fulham is south of the river Thames!

Strange woman. Once involved with the ghastly mixed-race “Conservative” activist and notorious bully, Mark Clarke (featured in the past on the blog and now, like Justine Greening herself, politically —and maybe otherwise— washed-up).

The “small boats” migration invasion is only 5%, if that, of the whole. Maybe only 2% or so. There are, in rough figures, a million or more invaders coming in every year, mostly “legally”.

Then there are the huge numbers being born to foreign mothers or fathers in the UK, some of the parents themselves having been born in the UK. The future looks dark, the future looks orange black and brown.

As predicted, and as previously seen in Libya, Iraq etc. A dictatorial regime fallen, but replaced by tribal chaos.

After what the Israeli Jews, and their many Jewish supporters in the West, have been doing and/or supporting, no-one wants to listen any more to their nearly 100-year-old whining about Adolf Hitler, Germany, the NSDAP, the SS, or the endless “holocaust” stories, many of which are untrue anyway.

You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.

Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.

You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.

But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

-Hitler never ordered the extermination of the Jews

-the allies never spotted any “killing camps” when doing reconnaissance missions

-the allies broke the German codes and were listening to their messages, and heard nothing about death camps.

-all the “death camps” were only on the Soviet side. How did the allies manage to not find any? Why do we believe the Soviet communist?

-there is no physical evidence that Jews were gassed to death

-the worldwide Jewish population numbers did not decrease.

– the entire holocaust narrative is based on ludicrous constantly changing eye witness testimony

-during the war, the Germans were using the people in concentration camps as their labor force. Killing them literally would have hurt the war effort. This why they wouldn’t do it. “Arbeit Macht frei” which is stated at the gates of Auschwitz means work sets you free. Because it was a work camp…

After the disastrous end of the Second World War, the msm has pushed “their” view of whether Hitler was basically right about “their” mentality. What is the verdict?

Israel, food insecurity, and food banks

https://www.thejc.com/lets-eat/meet-the-pair-saving-the-starving-in-jerusalem-pfd37l9k

“Since October 7, Jerusalem’s food security has been in crisis, says food expert Daniella Seltzer. Rising prices, disrupted supply chains, and the continued impact of war on the workforce has made it harder for many to access food. But Seltzer’s programme, Food Rescuers, is stepping up to the challenge, working to tackle food insecurity and waste.

The Food Rescuers collect surplus produce that would otherwise be discarded and redistribute it to those in need. With a poverty rate of 40 per cent, Jerusalem is one of Israel’s poorest cities, and the Rescuers’ work is sorely needed.”

So Jerusalem has a poverty rate designated as being 40%? Not the picture shown to the world by the Israeli government. I wonder what the corresponding rate for Tel Aviv might be.

Leaving aside the Jewish/Israeli aspect, though, it is true that a huge amount of food is also wasted in the UK. I often buy tins and bottles sold at a quarter, a fifth, even a tenth of the usual price, and placed on a few special shelves in supermarkets. Everything from tins of corn, peeled tomato, and tuna to fruit juices and packs of Evian water. The tins have minor dents at times, and the multi-packs of water may be missing a bottle, but the value is astonishing.

I hope that people generally do as I do when I put items from home, usually tins or jars, and which are within a month or so of the “best before” stamp, in the supermarket food bank bins for people who are struggling.

A society such as the UK should not “need” food banks, and I think that I had never heard of them until the evil government of David Cameron-Levita came to power in 2010, but they are at present necessary, and one can help them without even making any personal sacrifice. Better that a jar of arrabiata pasta sauce goes to a needy person or family, than that it be thrown into landfill.

Incidentally, that Jewish Chronicle report adds that:

As prices rise, vulnerable communities – strictly Orthodox Jewish, Palestinian, refugee, Roma, and asylum seekers – are disproportionately affected. “The government’s food programmes often exclude people in East Jerusalem or non-Hebrew speakers. Even within the Jewish community, strictly Orthodox populations tend to get more support,” she says… “There is systemic racism engrained into the way the country works.”

Jew-Zionist barrister Simon Myerson getting the law wrong (again)…

On a wider point, that whole traditional rank of “King’s Counsel” or KC should be done away with. Outdated, and now all but meaningless. As an ordinary barrister from 1991 (in practice from 1993) to 1996, and then from 2002-2008, I encountered QCs (as they then were) in court a number of times, and did OK against them quite a lot of the time, if I say so myself. Sometimes they won, sometimes I won.

I believe that about 1 in 6 of practising barristers are now “KC”. In the past, particularly before the Second World War, the proportion was far smaller, partly because those in a position to recommend and/or make the decision were more selective; partly, also, because there were fewer applications, and that was partly because a “KC” then usually had to “lead” a junior (non-KC) barrister, and so cost the lay client 2x, sometimes 3x or more, in fees. Some took silk only to find that they became far less busy. These days, not only does a KC often appear alone, but in some cases even unattended by a solicitor.

I believe that I recall from the memoirs of Lord Denning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Denning,_Baron_Denning] that when he “took silk” (became a KC), in 1938, there were only 4 such “letters patent” granted that year, including his own. In 2024, no less than 100 persons became “KC” (5 honorary only, 95 ordinary).

Of course, in recent decades, arguably starting in the early 1990s, the pernicious influence of “political correctness” (now often termed “woke-ness”) has had its effect; it has never been admitted that the Bar now has some King’s Counsel appointed at least partly by reason of their “ethnic” background, but that such is the case is the opinion of not a few (including me).

Well, there it is.

As to Lord Denning, in his day, he was the most popular judge among the public; arguably the only popular judge, as well as the one with the most name-recognition. Opinion among barristers was less unmixed, though few if any would dispute his very great ability.

I saw Lord Denning up close only once or twice, notably when hurrying to the Library at Lincoln’s Inn in the early 1990s. My chambers were in the Inn at the time, and I was also a member of the Inn then (I was much later —2017— expelled, as an automatic consequence of my politically-procured disbarment of 2016).

I pushed open the very heavy oakwood Library door and missed, by only an inch or two, knocking over Lord Denning, who must have been about 94 (b.1899). I recall that he did not flinch, and smiled benignly as I held open the door for him.

[Lincoln’s Inn Library]

Incidentally, just now looking at Wikipedia’s article on Denning, I see that, by 1936 (2 years before he took silk), his income was some £3,000 a year (arguably worth about £200,000 in the money of today, and income tax was far lower in 1936). Impressive, but the leading silk of the day, Birkett, at about that time had an income of £25,000 (between £1.5M and £2M today).

By comparison, in that era, domestic staff in a large country house might receive between £100 a year (kitchen maid) to £250-£500 a year (chief gamekeeper, or for a valued chief cook or butler in a great household). Of course, most were fed, clothed, and given accommodation as well.

Still, Denning, in the mid-1930s, was making about 10x the income of a head gamekeeper, and perhaps 30x the income of a kitchen maid. Birkett, on a fee-income of between £25,000 and £40,000 a year, was making as much as ten times even those figures! Several millions a year, in 2024 money.

Social history. Interesting.

I see that, when Denning was made a High Court judge in 1944, his salary was set at £7,000, perhaps £300,000-£400,000 in today’s money, so rather more than High Court judges now get (around £225,000; and income tax is higher today).

So why was the bastard even here in the UK? Nothing in the Daily Mail report (of course). Looks Somali, but nothing in that very poor report about the origin or background of the criminal.

The Daily Mail “journalist” also describes the untermensch in question as having been “homeless” at the time that he killed the victim, but then goes on to say that the defendant drove away, went shopping after the attack, and then returned to his home!

No indication in that report as to why the defendant was even in the country. Nothing about the savage having a job, either, yet here the bastard is, in the UK, and with a home and a car, at that. Oh, and he had enough money to buy cocaine, apparently.

At least he thought to buy food for his cat, as it seems. I hope that the cat was not made homeless.

This country is so screwed, incredibly so.

Nothing that mass deportations or executions could not at least start to solve, though.

Private political prosecutions

I happened to see this:

Some readers of the blog may be aware that Myerson is a Jew-Zionist barrister, based mainly in Leeds. Indeed, he holds letters patent as King’s Counsel (which is no longer the distinction it once was), and was sacked as Recorder (p/t judge) earlier this year (though permitted to “resign”, officially) after his vituperative tweets became notorious, and after he ignored his initial “warning off” from the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

https://www.complaints.judicialconduct.gov.uk/disciplinarystatements/Statement1624/

Only yesterday, Myerson was tweeting that the Russian Ambassador should be forced to give evidence in court, then arrested when “we do not believe him“. A strange thing for any barrister to tweet, seemingly in ignorance of both diplomatic immunity (under the 1961 Vienna Convention and/or longstanding customary international law) and the English law re. perjury.

I can only presume that Myerson was making some kind of peculiar joke (funny only to him); which, in a sense, is even more disturbing.

Myerson’s own testimony for the defence in the recent defamation case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor and Newbon (deceased) was not thought worthy of being given any weight by the judge presiding. The claimant, Wilson, won his case, overall. See https://x.com/per_incuriam2.

Incidentally, Myerson is a member or supporter of both “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which latter undertook that private prosecution against the defendant Michael Derham. The memberships or support cadres of those “well-funded” little organizations overlap to some extent.

Myerson is also wrong (arguably, or in my view) in having tweeted that the court “convicted” that defendant, Myerson having not explained that the defendant pleaded guilty. There was no trial.

It seems that the sentence was a fine and costs amounting to a total of £1,000, to be paid off at £100 a month.

I recently wrote on the blog about how people accused of political crime, and prosecuted (as in such a case as the above), should always plead Not Guilty. My view on that is that such prosecutions (especially abusive private ones brought by such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) should never be validated by a plea of Guilty. Yes, there is the (notional) danger of a heavier sentence if found guilty, but the difference will not be great in most cases.

In the above-noted case, the defendant apparently had no previous convictions, and had elements of personal mitigation anyway. He should have fought the matter to the bitter end, as I would do, and indeed have done (see below).

I think that, in matters such as animal welfare, there is still a place for private or privately-brought but quasi-public prosecutions brought by organizations such as the RSPCA. However, in other matters, particularly “political” cases such as noted above, organizations such as the “CAA” should be prohibited from abusing the law to achieve maliciously-intended and socio-political ends, as so often happens. After all, the “CAA” is a Jew-Zionist organization closely tied to Israel and the Israeli Embassy in the UK. Though small, it is very well-funded. From where do such funds originate?

Incidentally, my own free speech trial, in November 2023 (sentencing hearing was in March 2024), was a public prosecution brought by the “Clown” Prosecution Service, but was only initiated after the CPS and the Hampshire Constabulary had been subjected to intense and directly political pressure by the “CAA” pack and their collaborators. Read my account(s) above.

[“While the Starmer government in the UK decided to send millions of financial aid to the “moderate rebels” in Syria, the same “moderate rebels” are executing people on the streets….“]

Starmer supports rebellion against dictators, he says. In Syria, and elsewhere. Well, he himself is a kind of petty dictator, “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, in the old proverb…

When Tel Aviv Keith refers to giving thanks “on behalf of the whole country“, he must mean Israel, which (via the UK Israel-lobby) controls him.

Only if Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves and David Lammy all got covered.

MI6/SIS is an almost-pointless institution anyway. It lives off a reputation from the Second World War and Cold War which is and always was largely undeserved; unmerited.

Goodwin is right, though, about the “politicization” (I would say “socio-politicization”) of so many UK institutions. The police are heavily contaminated, as is the CPS.

Pity that Goodwin ignores the poisonous nature of the Jew-Zionist pressure on such institutions, though, and the directly consequent destruction of free speech…That Jewish/Zionist/Israel-lobby influence is the major repressive factor in the contemporary UK.

If Zelensky starts press-ganging young (under-28, and especially under-20) Ukrainians, his days are numbered, and he knows it.

So that is what Robert Largan is now up to. He lost his MP status at the 2024 General Election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Peak_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. His previous job was as an accountant at Marks & Spencer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Largan.

Largan has been volubly pro-Jew-Zionist and pro-Israel. As MP, and even before being elected in 2019, he frequently tweeted against those he considered “antisemitic”, including local resident and persecuted satirical singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz. He tweeted a few times against me, too, if I recall aright.

I have no idea whether the trustee position about which Largan tweets is paid; I expect so. He does not seem to have taken on other work since he lost his Commons seat 5 months ago. However, the entire annual income of the organization is, apparently, less than £400,000, so any payment to trustees must be modest.

Seems that Israeli and U.S. “confidential contact”, Ruth Smeeth (now in the House of Lords) is or was another trustee of this organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth;

https://register-of-charities;charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/3981970/trustees.

Others connected with that organization are Luke Akehurst, now an MP, and sinister former MP, “Lord” Ian Austin (search for my previous comments about him via the search box on the blog). https://antisemitism.org.uk/group-members/.

Having just looked at Largan’s Twitter/X timeline for the first time in months, I notice that its tenor is that of a politician still (local elections, local events, Westminster occurrences). Can it be that he hopes to be the Conservative Party candidate for High Peak next time? That is how it looks to me.

Largan, seemingly now resident within the constituency, will have an uphill climb if he wants to get elected again at High Peak. He won High Peak in 2019 by only 1.1 points (590 votes) over Labour’s candidate, but lost in 2024 by 16.1 points (7,908 votes).

In 2024, Reform UK came in a fairly respectable third, but Labour got more votes (just) than Conservative and Reform put together. Reform can only do better, arguably, next time, and may either win or deny the Con candidate the win.

Looking at a few of his recent tweets, I find a few things on which I can agree with Largan: for example, his opinion that The Battle of the River Plate is a very good film indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_River_Plate.

I really dislike everything about Jeremy Clarkson.

Most attacks on free speech in the UK come from the Jewish/Zionist pro-Israel lobby, who have been making malicious complaints about me and many others for (in my case) at least 12 years.

That tweeter seems to be hostile to persons expressing anti-Zionist views.

Law requires” maybe, but not all laws are in use every day or at all. English law still has statutes nominally in force which are now never applied. No doubt Iranian laws are similar in that sense.

Warsaw has changed a very great deal since I last saw it in the winter of 1989. 35 years ago. It hardly seems possible.

“Our wonderful police”

This of course goes far beyond “mere” theft of bicycles.

A couple of years ago, my Australian niece, in her early twenties and —at the time— living for a couple of years in London, decided to start cycling from her London flat (West Kensington) to her office (West End). A brave and perhaps unwise decision. All went well until, one fine summer day, a car hit her not very far from her home, at a busy intersection. A place where there are shops, cafes and, therefore, cctv. She was knocked off her bike, and left in the road. The driver sped off. Thankfully, she had no serious injuries; bruises and cuts, mainly.

My niece did report the incident (it may be that passers-by did too, at the time). The police did nothing, absolutely nothing, despite the fact that this was a hit and run vehicle crime which could well have been more serious, even a fatality. They did not even collect cctv, despite the time of the “accident” (crime) being known to within a few minutes. Useless.

Another crime: I know that I have blogged about this previously, but my regular readers will please grant me this indulgence.

A couple of years ago, in early 2023, a wheel was stolen from my car. Local people were able to provide me with some good leads as to the likely thief or his connections. I passed that information on to the police online and via telephone (they did not turn up at all in person, despite likely DNA evidence or fingerprints left on a jack). Nothing happened. No action, no investigation. Useless people.

Imagine my surprise, then (and as I later discovered), that the uniformed constable (from Hampshire Constabulary) who was in everyday charge of the relevant “neighbourhood crime team”, turned out to be the very same policeman who, together with a female colleague, had turned up, at my now very humble home, and on my birthday, in 2021, some 18 months previously, having been asked to do so by Gloucestershire Police at the behest of one Stephen Silverman, the self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the fanatical pro-Israel Jewish pressure-group called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

Silverman’s malicious, and completely false, complaint to the police against me (on the ground of “racial harassment”) is detailed here:

Well, nothing came of that attempted perversion of the course of justice by Silverman, but he has never been charged (((why?))). Au contraire— the tiny but well-funded “CAA” cabal simply persuaded (via direct political pressure and interference) the Wessex Crown —or Clown— Prosecution Service (Wessex CPS) to prosecute me on a completely different legal basis, and in respect of (small parts of) 5 blog posts, out of the, at the time, well over 1,500 blog posts published from late 2016 to early 2023.

My free speech trial in late 2023, my sentencing hearing in March 2024, and the aftermath of the trial and sentencing are detailed here:

The same policeman already noted above in today’s blog and in those other days’ blogs, turned up at every hearing of my “case”— first appearance in June or July 2023, a later “case management” appearance when the trial was deferred, the one-day trial, the sentencing hearing (and another hearing prior to sentence when the “Clown” Prosecutor made a doomed attempt to give my “case” a “hate crime” uplift). Four or maybe even five hearings; every time, that policeman was there, sitting in the waiting area and at the back of the court (he did give evidence, briefly, at the trial, and was equally-briefly cross-examined by me).

So that policeman spent 5 days on attending court, related to my quite pointless trial, as well as (with other “guardians of law and order”) a number of days cobbling together the huge amount of material required by the Clown Prosecution Service. Also, parts of other days in 2021, wasted on Silverman’s completely false and malicious allegation that he was “racially harassed” by me (I did not know his address, or his telephone number or email, and had never once spoken to him, or even seen him, still less confronted him).

Days which that policeman and his colleagues might have used more productively, dealing with real crime and/or investigating Silverman’s 2021 attempt to pervert the course of justice.

Incidentally, Silverman, despite now living in Gloucestershire (prior to that, in Essex), made the fairly long journey to Southampton Magistrates’ Court both for my trial and for the sentencing hearing, though he slunk out on the latter occasion once he realized that the sentence (a 9-month “community order” and £734 costs etc) was not going to be as severe as he and his horrible little “CAA” cabal had hoped.

I should add that, on one of the preliminary days in court, in summer 2023, a different “CAA” creature turned up to snoop, a kind of bearded and very long-haired near-dwarf, like something out of Lord of the Rings.

Well, there it is. The police politicized, suborned (along with the Clown Prosecution Service) and apparently incapable of doing their proper job, while behaving as a so-far relatively velvet-glove and poundshop Stasi.

Even many of the hard-core Zionist Jews seem to be opposed to the ethnic cleansing Israel is continuing to carry out in Gaza.

Some of those who are most in favour of the ethnic cleansing and/or genocidal policies of the Netanyahu government seem to be, looking at Twitter/X, Jews living in the UK. They will be the very same Jews who are constantly trying to destroy free speech in this country, as seen in, inter alia, my own free speech trial (trials, if you include the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal which wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred me at the behest of the Jew-Zionist lobby in late 2016: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/).

Anyway, what Goodwin is omitting to add is that the importation of non-Europeans into the UK and the rest of Europe is a planned and evil strategy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Starmer has no more intention of stopping the migration-invasion than did Sunak, Johnson, or the others.

The Home Office has been concealing that kind of data for not only years but for decades. I blogged, several years ago, about the experience I had when a superannuated “first six” [months] Bar pupil (trainee) in early 1992, and when my “pupilmaster” (supervisor, mentor, lager-buyer…) had a trial involving Arab Gypsies originally from North Africa, of whom the Home Office were aware, and who (a clan of about 5,000 in and by London) lived (and no doubt still live) from thieving, begging, and by accessing the social security system. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/08/03/first-steal-a-chicken/.

That other person, talking to Goodwin, talks about Starmer’s “loveless majority“. It may have a Commons majority, by reason of the ludicrously unfair and illogical voting system in the UK, but it has and had no popular vote majority, and its plurality of votes, in percentage terms, is one of the lowest ever— 33.7%, only just a third of those who voted; 4 out of every 12. Over 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote. Only 4 in every 20 people eligible to vote voted for Labour and Starmer.

Both main System parties are hanging on only because of a voting system that is basically binary. Tweedledum/Tweedledee. Despite that, they are both going down. Reform UK may be a poor alternative, but is a straw at which many will clutch between now and 2029.
