No exemptions on Holocaust education under new UK curriculum plan, PM Starmer says

[Jerusalem Post]

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/auschwitz-prime-minister-england-government-nazi-b2613916.html

“This was the first year that participation in Holocaust Memorial Day fell, we can’t sit back and accept that.

Tonight I am making two decisions in advance of that review. First, the Holocaust will remain on the curriculum come what may.

And second, even schools who do not currently have to follow the national curriculum will have to teach the Holocaust when the new curriculum comes in.

“For the first time, studying the Holocaust will become a critical, vital part of every single student’s identity.”

[The Independent]

Starmer went on to say that the small park right next to the Palace of Westminster would be vandalized by having a Jewish-Zionist triumphalist “holocaust” centre built on it:

“So yes, we will build that national Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre. And build it next to Parliament.

“Boldly, proudly, unapologetically.”

[The Independent]

Starmer is like one of the puppets used in those 1960s British children’s shows such as Thunderbirds or Stingray. At times, you can quite easily see the strings controlling his movements.

Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper and the rest are all puppets of Jewish Zionism and the Israel lobby. Now intending to insist that every school student in the UK pays ritual obeisance to the “holocaust” mythus. Any who refuse, or do not tick all the required boxes (or who question the narrative, either as a whole or in detail), will probably be barred from higher studies.

This is an anti-British, anti-European, anti-historical dictatorship, controlled by an alien element, and which tries to impose an intellectual straitjacket on both history and politics.

As Starmer admitted, the contrived historical narrative is increasingly failing to convince British people; they are not interested, and/or do not believe the narrative usually blasted out at them.

A very clever operation by Israeli intelligence and/or state terrorist operatives (leaving aside the ethical aspects): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13862209/Israeli-spies-pager-bomb-attack-wounded-thousands-humiliated-Iran-left-Middle-East-brink-Mossad-IDF-explosives-Hezbollah-gadgets-imported-Taiwan-sources-confirm-terror-group-vows-revenge.html.

Starmer supports Jewish state terrorism.

Jews smirking about the destruction they have wrought on a largely defenceless civilian population. Still, “what goes around comes around“, in the American phrase.

Myerson did not take that “advice” (reprimand) of March 2024 on board, continued to post vituperative tweets etc, and was then, in effect, sacked earlier this year (June or July 2024) as a Recorder (p/t judge), though he was allowed to present it as “resignation”.

Now Myerson is implying in his tweets that the (Israeli) Jews were “clever” in their Lebanon pager-explosive operation.

As a matter of fact, I agree with Myerson as to that. It was clever. It was also very wicked, particularly in that something like 1,000 people other than the supposed Hezbollah personnel killed, were injured; most if not all were ordinary passers-by, shoppers etc.

Thank God that someone as unpleasantly nasty as Myerson, and so lacking in basic decency, is no longer able to sit in the seat of legal judgment over British and other people.

One can see why the Bench had to have Myerson removed. He was —and is— unfit to pronounce judgment on anyone.

Perhaps the Bar Standards Board might like to take a look at Myerson. I am not usually in favour of free-speech restriction, but in this case it would be only just, Myerson having been one of the Jews who (as an active member of “UK Lawyers for Israel”) had me disbarred for having posted a few tweets long after I ceased to be a practising barrister: see

https://www.charlottecgill.co.uk/p/georgia-gould-labours-red-princess

Freeloading pro-Jewish-lobby bastard.

Starmer poses as an ethical Prime Minister elected by a “landslide”, when in fact he is a totally corrupt freeloader, and his MPs “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and by only 4 out of 12 actual voters.

Starmer has no mandate.

Better late than never.

Exactly. It is easy to be bien-pensant when the only non-whites you ever meet are of the educated and/or intelligent, or pleasant, few; especially when, if you are John Major, you have VIP protection and security where you live and whenever you travel.

That last tweet is a typical example of false memory (or maybe an outright lie): John Major never was a bus conductor. He did apply, and was accepted for the job provisionally, but was rejected because he was too tall. He therefore never worked as a bus conductor, and that tweeter could therefore never have met him in that role: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Major#Early_post-school_career_(1959%E2%80%931979)

Such false memory is actually quite common. The noted —but apparently not much liked— big businessman, “Tiny” Rowland [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Rowland] was said to have once worked as a porter at Paddington Station (Wikipedia does not mention it, but I believe Rowland did work there as a porter, though only very briefly, and in the early part of the Second World War, when he was about 20).

A friend of mine, a lady who often walked through Paddington Station from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, sometimes told me (in the 1980s), when Rowland was in the news, that she remembered him as a young man working as a porter at Paddington.

My old friend did not, I think, mean to lie, but she was mistaken, and had to be. If and when Rowland was briefly a station porter, it would have been around 1939 or 1940.

The lady I knew would have been still in her teens then, having been born in 1926. She had been born in East Prussia (on her family’s vast estate, or one of them), had attended the Sacre Coeur convent school in Paris for a year just before the Second World War, but was then a kind of hostage under NKVD control in the Soviet Union for 3 years, at first in a prison on a river island on the Kazakhstan-Russia border, then working briefly on a state farm before becoming a student-nurse. When she escaped from the Soviet Union in 1942, she was just 16. She was in Persia, and then British East Africa. She first visited London sometime in the late 1940s, but not for long.

In other words, my old friend could never have seen Rowland as a porter (assuming he ever was one), Rowland having been working in business in the City of London during the early/mid 1940s and then, from 1948, in the then Southern Rhodesia (the later Rhodesia and then Zimbabwe).

We often see false memory, not least in (mainly Jewish) recollections of life in Germany and Poland during the so-called “holocaust” years of the early/mid 1940s. It is often hard to say which of the hundreds, indeed thousands, of accounts are simply misremembrances and which are outright frauds, but both are very common.

Anyway, there it is.

…and that has been only about 5% of the full migration-invasion figure…

In 2021, writing in the Independent newspaper, Keir Starmer said he’d “toughen the rules so MPs can’t profit from their office and open the door to vested interests”.

Since then we’ve learned: —he’s taken more freebies in holidays and gifts than ANY OTHER MP in parliament—

he’s taken 40 sets of tickets to sporting & pop concerts —

he’s had a free holiday —

he’s taken clothing worth £16,000 from a party donor —

he’s taken accommodation valued at £20,000 —

he’s taken glasses worth £2,485 —

his wife has taken £5,000 worth of clothes —

he’s seen his top aide take a £25,000 pay rise to £170,000 And this despite the fact he earned over £400,000 last year

… … while taking away winter fuel allowances for pensioners … and declaring the era of sleaze is over.”

I would urge anyone arrested, and (unlike that lady) charged with anything effectively “political”, to plead Not Guilty.

Force the System to attempt to prove the case, and force the politicized police and “Clown” Prosecution to spend time and resources on the matter, and so (in terms of time) “kick the can down the road”.

If you do that, the System drones may have to drop the case (in the case reported on, of course, it never got that far; she was never charged). If you plead Not Guilty, the case may only be tried after many months (and if heard in Crown Court, maybe even a couple of years).

True, if convicted after a trial, you may get a sentence notionally more severe than had you pleaded (Guilty) to the charge, but these politicized cases are now being treated absurdly and unfairly harshly anyway. As far as Crown Court cases are concerned, we have seen people sentenced to years of imprisonment for doing really not very much, while real (non-political) criminals are often getting very lenient punishment.

I am not so sure that, from the perspective of a “political” “criminal”, there is much difference between getting, say, 15 months in prison on a Not Guilty plea then resulting in conviction after a trial, and 10 months on a Guilty plea.

The “political” convict, often someone of previous good character, or at least “not so bad” character, ends up in prison anyway in the current climate, either way.

In terms of time, too, a 15 month sentence might translate to 6 months actually incarcerated (40% of 15 months), as compared to 4 months after a Guilty plea and a sentence of 10 months. Still extra time, of course.

There is also the point that a Not Guilty plea might pay off in terms of you, as defendant, being found Not Guilty on technical grounds by a magistrate/District Judge or on a (Crown Court) Judge’s direction. Or you might be found Not Guilty by a magistrate, or a Crown Court jury.

There is also the possibility that something may happen during the trial, esp. if in the Crown Court, to render the trial ineffective.

In cases where imprisonment is never likely to happen, there may be little difference between being found guilty after a trial and pleading Not Guilty ab initio.

In my own case, related here below, I would never have pleaded Guilty under any circumstances anyway. As it was, I very nearly got off on technical grounds at “half time” (at the close of the Prosecution case).

My trial continued, however, and I was pronounced guilty by the District Judge, though on slightly confused (in my opinion) grounds.

My sentence was firstly to pay the purely notional costs of the trial and also to pay a “victim surcharge” (just another impost), the two together adding up to £734. Secondly, I was to complete 15 “rehabilitation days” under the supervision of the Probation Service.

Of course, the Jew-Zionists of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], who had procured the case against me by suborning the police and CPS in my county of residence, and who pressured the CPS politically, and quite improperly, to prosecute me, were livid at the perceived “leniency” of the sentence, so much so that it took them days, in fact I believe 2-3 weeks, to respond on Twitter/X and their own website. I can just imagine them fuming and arguing about it.

Well, a few generous donors who read the blog sent just over a third of the financial penalty monies, via a crowdfunder I established; the rest I paid off (I still have one small-ish payment left to pay) on a monthly basis. Irritating but not too onerous.

As to the “15 rehabilitation days”, it turned out that each “day” was a meeting with the Probation Service, the meetings as short as 20 minutes in a couple of cases (though 3 or 4 such meetings did for some reason not count toward the 15).

There was no “rehabilitation day” as long as an actual day, or even half a day.

Until a few weeks ago, I thought that I had only done about 3 or 4 actual “rehabilitation days” (meetings) counting towards the 15. However, I was then told that, by reason of larger-scale events not connected with me personally, my “days” were finished and I would be (as I have now been) deemed to have completed the “15” days to which I was sentenced.

So there it is. The politicized police (our new poundshop Stasi) and the politicized CPS, apparently spent hundreds of hours, maybe even thousands of hours, “trawling through” (as the CPS put it) hundreds of blog posts. The costs in terms of police and CPS time must have been large. The CPS instructed outside Counsel to prosecute. That barrister made several appearance prior to trial, at trial, and after trial, when (briefed again by, shall we say, “the fat lady” singing) he made a doomed attempt both to restrict my freedom to blog and to make the sentence more severe (only to find that the sentencing judge agreed with me).

All that money and effort, taking well over a year by the end, not to mention Court time, and the only result was that I had to pay out a few hundred pounds and meet a (rather polite and charming) young Probation Service lady about 7 or 8 times.

Further to the above, of course a defendant can appeal a Guilty verdict. In my case, it was expedient not to do so, though I considered that I had a 50-50 chance of success.

I was never arrested, incidentally, just charged by postal requisition, and was on unconditional bail throughout the proceedings in court.

Naturally, I should never have been bothered by the police, let alone charged or prosecuted.

A fortiori, I should never have been convicted or sentenced, but there it is.

My own perception of my trial and sentence, and the aftermath:

Disagreements in the West over Ukraine’s attacks on Russia

The possible use of Western long-range weapons to strike deep in Russian territory has become a point of contention among Kiev’s Western allies, writes “Bloomberg” citing sources. “

The main concern of many is a direct conflict with Russia, and that is why they are cautious in making this decision, as well as the possible entry of Ukraine into NATO in the near future ,” the agency adds.”

Ukraine cannot join NATO except as a fig-leaf for further attacks on Russia. A good tenth if not a fifth of its pre-2014 territory is now occupied by Russian forces and being administered as a part of the Russian Federation. Its economy is on the floor and only being propped up by Western aid of all sorts. Much of the pre-2014 population is either under Russian rule or has left for other countries. It also faces demographic extinction— the birth rate is far from being high enough to keep the population numbers stable.

Still, good to see that not all Western statesmen are crazies desperate to trigger a third world war.

Well, that’s that…

Many of the readers of the blog will be aware of my free speech trial, held in November 2023, and my sentencing hearing, which was held on 14 March 2024, i.e. about 6 months ago. I blogged about both:

The main part of the sentence imposed upon me for having allegedly blogged about various things, but principally the behaviour of Jewish Zionist groups and cabals, was to attend 15 “rehabilitation days” with the Probation Service people.

It turned out (I did not know) that the initial few meetings, mostly less than 1 hour long (one or two longer) do not even count towards the 15 imposed, but also that the “rehabilitation days” are not (at least in my case) days at all but hours or part-hours.

I found the process slightly opaque, but it seemed to be a mixture of conversation and slightly more structured psychological assessment designed to assess “risk”. Well, I do not go around shooting people or blowing them up, and I should have imagined that that was fairly clear from the start.

As for others being “influenced” by me, I only wish more were! Still, “one human soul is a big audience“, as some saint or other once said.

There was none of the armchair brainwashing I thought might be attempted.

Well, I attended about 4 “rehabilitation days” (as designated), and other meetings, I think 4, not designated (for some reason) as “rehabilitation days”. About 8 altogether.

It turns out that, at least as far as I can understand, I am not much of a “risk” to the public, even in a broad sense…

It also now transpires that, for reasons that are again slightly opaque to me, but apparently connected to larger events, I need not attend any more meetings, whether flagged as “rehabilitation days” or not, and I am deemed to have completed that part of my sentence, the other being the financial impost linked to the (purely notional) “costs of trial” and (risibly) “victim surcharge” (just another label meaning further fine)— £734 in all. About a third of that was crowdfunded by a handful of generous donors, the rest paid off in instalments the quantum of which was decided by me; I only have two small instalments outstanding at time of writing.

Incidentally, I parted on good terms with my Probation Service officer, a rather charming and polite young lady.

So there it is. “Free at last…I’m free at last!” (only joking)…

Of course, the “usual suspects” will almost certainly be plotting in their cellars, trying to get “the authorities” (police, CPS etc) to take their whining demands seriously, and “it ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings“, but for now at least the matter is at an end.

One man’s “extremism” is another man’s struggle for liberty

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13844609/Record-numbers-children-arrested-terror-suspects.html

A record number of children are being arrested as terror suspects, new Home Office figures have revealed.

Police detained 242 people on suspicion of terror offences in the year to June, of which 17% (40) were aged 17 and under.

This is up 60% from the 25 detained in the previous 12-month period and is the highest number since records began more than 20 years ago, when just two children were arrested in the year to June 2002.

MI5 director general Ken McCallum previously said terrorism inspired by Islamist ideology still accounted for about three-quarters of the security agency’s terrorist caseload.

But he warned that extreme right-wing terrorism was ‘sadly here to stay’ as he told how agents had been investigating teenagers as young as 13.

The latest statistics come after record numbers of children were revealed to have been reported to the Government’s anti-extremism services for expressing ‘far right’ ideology.

More than 2,100 under-15s were referred to Prevent in 2022/23 over fears they were being groomed by extremists or at risk of radicalisation.

Of them, 462 expressed ‘extreme right wing’ ideologies compared with 182 ‘Islamist’ referrals.

Officials describe Extreme Right-Wing Terrorism (ERWT) as using violence to further aims. Such ideologies can be broadly characterised as ‘Cultural Nationalism, White Nationalism and White Supremacism’, the Home Office says.

Many of the referrals and reports came from schools where children were identified as being at risk of radicalisation as a result of their extremist views, often associated with expressing hate speech involving racism, homophobia or anti-Semitic abuse.

Expressing sympathy or admiration for the likes of Adolf Hitler or praising extremists would be enough to risk being flagged to Prevent if overheard by a teacher, social worker or even work colleague.

A Home Office spokesperson said: ‘Extremism is an evolving threat, which threatens our democratic values and freedoms. Government is determined to take every possible step to tackle it and show it has no place in our society.‘”

[Daily Mail]

I blogged 6 years ago about the Prevent/Channel nonsense: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

Imagine, teenagers being treated as serious “terror” suspects just because they own some anarchist book about bombs, or because they find Hitler or National Socialism interesting! Back in the 1970s, that would have been almost par for the course! This is all box-ticking nonsense, typical of the UK as it now is.

Freedom of expression in the UK is being closed down for no good reason at all. “They” (“the usual suspects”) are behind most of it. The slide has to be stopped, and then reversed.

As for that McCallum person, little seems known about his views, but I retain the right to assume that he may well be a nerdy waste of space…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McCallum]. I wonder.

Let us hope so.

NATO (meaning NWO/ZOG based in the USA) has as its greatest fear a Russia which joins with Ukraine (once the Jewish regime in Kiev is removed) and other former Soviet lands, albeit under different ideology.

Have you noticed how Zelensky pushes away anyone who can bring about a peaceful solution? Nothing suits him except the possibility of the army fighting to infinity. They drag this situation out indefinitely, because according to them there is no need to solve problems, to deal with the economy, social issues, elections …”, says Alexander Dubinsky, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.”

The “VR” is the unicameral Parliament of Ukraine. The last elections were in 2019, and Zelensky and his cabal are now ruling illegally, albeit using a convenient law passed by them not very long ago, and under which new elections will only be held after the end of the present war…

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

I feel sorry for both the civilians whose former homes are now destroyed and the press-ganged Ukrainian soldiers fighting (are they aware?) for the money-laundering corruption of Zelensky and his Jewish-Zionist cabal, but Russia has to prevail in this terrible conflict, no matter what.

Just a few tens of millions out of the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars and pounds thrown away on the Zelensky “Ukraine” bonfire.

I went into a Lidl supermarket (about 6-7 miles from my home) yesterday, because they are having a “Central and Eastern European Week”. I like the Polish cherry/apple juice drink, and a few other things such as Turkish coffee.

Needing a pound coin for the trolley or cart, I approached an enormously fat African woman stacking shelves (so slowly that she appeared to be in a slow-motion film). She scarcely spoke English, but informed me (incorrectly, and not politely) that Lidl do not take coins, only cards. She obviously failed to understand why I wanted the coin (despite my having told her clearly).

That is the type of low-IQ, low-skill humanoid being imported into this country, not in the thousands but in the millions.

I should add that the other Lidl employee seen was a cashier, an American (white) man, who seemed drugged or something, and was like a refugee from a Grateful Dead concert. Why he is even in the UK? God knows.

What do you think Britain’s future will be if it has a population largely composed of humanoids of those types? Not to mention the English “wiggers”, Vicky Pollard lookalikes etc.

They know. This is a conspiracy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan [be aware that “the usual suspects” vandalize Wikipedia, and that includes the cited article. “They” also infiltrate the Wikipedia editing structure].

…and what does that foolish American think will be happening in the USA while that is happening? True, of Russia’s 6,000+ nuclear weapons, perhaps only 10% or 20% will successfully launch (i.e. 600-1,200), and perhaps (I do not know) only 10%-20% of those will reach the USA and UK etc without having been intercepted (i.e. 60-120).

So let us say that, at an absolute minimum, “only” 60 nuclear missiles hit American cities and other targets, and let us assume for the sake of argument that military targets are prioritized so that “only” 30 actual American cities are hit.

So you write off New York, LA, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, Jacksonville (and 20-40 others) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population]. What life would the surviving Americans have?

Stop this mad rush to war.

Putting it frankly, even if you believe that “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) is “in the right” (I myself do not), is it worthwhile to —literally— fight for that rabble at the expense of much of the civilized world being destroyed and irradiated, including most of the USA?

Think again.

If that tweeter is typical of the American officer corps, God help America.

Same American ex-officer fails to understand that Putin does not rant and rave and wave his arms about like so many American politicians. Putin’s bite is far worse than his bark. Be warned.

I wonder what the American reaction would be if Russia were to supply some anti-USA state with long-range missiles capable of hitting most parts of the USA?

What, America has not “invaded” a sovereign state? It has invaded dozens since 1900, and in fact even over the past 50 years, and has also bombed and rocketed them and others.

Ukraine is not a real state in any case. It has only been regarded (by some) as a valid state for the past 30 out of the past 1,300 years, and is now really a “failed state” at best; more of a “non-state”.

I have to say, they look a pretty silly lot. Quelle surprise… Maybe, though, to look silly is an asset in their (alleged) occupation.

Never break the 11th Commandment…

Maybe the USA is now seeking a way to back out of its failed game.

Diary Blog, 6 September 2024, including thoughts about the House of Lords

The appointment of an unfunny and uninteresting pseudo-comic American lesbianka as London “Night-time Tsar” (paid £133,000+ p.a. for a 3-day week) must rate as one of the most absurd appointments of the last decade, along with the elevation of “Boris” Johnson’s alleged illegitimate daughter, Charlotte Owen, as a member of the House of Lords in 2023 at the age of 29, despite having had no significant work or academic background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Owen,_Baroness_Owen_of_Alderley_Edge]

Having said that, I now see that, after the unexplained elevation of Charlotte Owen, an equally-absurd “ennoblement” occurred this very year, when one Carmen Smith of the joke-“nationalist” Welsh party, Plaid Cymru, was made a member of the House of Lords aged just 27. A woman whose academic background consists of having attended one year, if that, of a 3-year law degree in Wales, before she dropped out, and whose work experience consists of about 18-24 months as an office gopher for several organizations (she spent 6-10 months in each). Pathetic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Smith,_Baroness_Smith_of_Llanfaes.

Appointments of the type noted above bring the whole system of Parliament into (even more) opprobrium.

The Starmer-Labour government now intends to remove the remaining hereditary peers from the Lords. In principle, I would have no argument with that for several reasons: firstly, the hereditary peers (both those still sitting and the larger number removed by Blair in 1999) almost all had their “aristocratic” family pedigrees dating from as recently as 1900.

Until the era of George III (18thC), the House of Lords numbered only about 50 peers. By 1999, all but a handful of peers could trace their “aristocratic” lineage back only as far as the Lloyd George era of the early 20thC, when sales of honours happened on a wide scale.

The House of Lords has always, certainly from 1900, been a bit of a fake in terms of “aristocratic” credentials.

Having said that, Blair’s typically wrongheaded reform of 1999 has merely resulted in an ever-growing number of time-served ex-MPs, political donors, and low-grade cronies etc being given life peerages. Over 700 at latest count.

The two mentioned above, Charlotte Owen and Carmen Smith, are just the tip of the iceberg. As long ago as 2011, useless Oona King, half American black, half Jewish, was put into the Lords having lost her seat as MP in 2005, and having failed to become Mayor of London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oona_King. She had ridden the “diversity” carousel to get that far, and continues to do so, though she retired from the House of Lords in 2024 and is now “head of diversity” at, of all things, Uber taxis.

I read Oona King’s book of memoirs, The Oona King Diaries: House Music, many years ago. Utterly cretinous. I should have been able to refer readers of the blog to my Amazon review of the book, but the “usual suspects” (malicious Jew-Zionists) had my reviews all taken down over a decade ago. I am now unable to review on Amazon, despite once having been voted a “top 100” reviewer. “Free society”?

There seems little point in having the House of Lords at all now, even as a so-called “revising chamber”, a job at which the Lords is useless anyway.

Goodwin forgot to mention that the leading cabals in all the System parties are effectively signed-up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. They want to swamp the UK with non-whites.

A number of NATO states, including the most important of all, the USA, are trying to edge away from the upcoming defeat of the Kiev regime.

80% of the victims were under-16; injuries from explosives” [Western doctor operating on patients in Gaza].

Israeli war crimes.

Sirsky: The armed forces of Ukraine are inferior to the Russian army ” Russia really has an advantage in aviation, missiles, artillery, in the amount of ammunition used, and of course, in manpower, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles ,” said the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Alexander Sirsky. According to his words, mobilization is now a priority for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

Russia could “win” this long and bitter conflict by simply flattening Kiev, but has not wanted to do that. Kiev was the first capital of Kievan Rus, before Moscow was even founded. It is a basic part of the Russian imperium, part of its history.

Only idiots and/or desperate Africans, South Asians, and Peruvians/Bolivians will join the Kiev-regime forces now. The early wave of would-be Rambo types, self-styled “dogs of war”, and clueless young adventurers is now history; most died in battle or went home in the end. Many were British ex-soldiers of, mostly, private-soldier rank, who found that the front lines were not only hazardous but very poorly-paid.

As for Ukrainians, most potential recruits are either evading the draft or have already avoided it by relocating to other countries.

Lift the sanctions. Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Stop fuelling this war which would not continue for more than a few weeks without the Western arms, ammunition, and money.

According to the malicious, tiny but very well-funded Jewish/Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], as many as 96% of “British” Jews consider themselves to be “Zionist”, and most of them also support what the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza and elsewhere.

That last tweeter is wrong; she compares one or two days at Dresden with the whole 5+ years of war in the UK.

The more accurate figures are: about 60,000 killed in Britain, as against (disputed) 350,000 to 800,000 killed in Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II.

The increasing support for Reform UK among (but not exclusively) “the young” seems to mirror the support for the AfD in Germany.

For me, Reform UK is not the way to go: pro-Israel, pro the UK Jewish lobby, economically “libertarian” etc. I agree with the Reform UK hostility to mass immigration, but not with much else they say. For me, real social nationalism is the way to go.

Still, the overall direction of travel is hopeful.

You see tweets, or on TV, that “at least the migrants are prepared to work“, but first of all that applies to some, not all; secondly, what that naive assessment omits to add is that the kind of work most of them (the ones that are willing to work) want to do (or can do, having no usable qualifications or skills, or English language), is in the “black economy”. No income tax, no VAT etc. That way, they can get whatever State benefits they can blag as well as whatever they can make on the side, so rent paid, pocket money, maybe disability too in some cases. Child benefit, if applicable. You get the idea.

The bigger picture, as Goodwin has said, is that that whole process traps this country into being a low-wage, low productivity economy. Exactly the opposite of where we should be heading.

That would be good.

The self-describing “left” is particularly prone to denunciation. In fact, in modern Britain, that is its sole characteristic of note. No more do they want to revolt against privilege, or have a revolution of some sort. No, all they want to do is to obey the dictates of the State (especially if fronted by a “Labour” label), and to “deplatform” or “cancel” (censor or ban) anyone thought to be an independent thinker (usually someone labelled “racist” or “fascist” or “Nazi“). You saw the syndrome during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, of course. Anyone questioning the nonsense pumped out by Government or “SAGE” (I preferred “DUMB”— the Department Under Matt and Boris) was called a “Covidiot” by real idiots such as Piers Morgan.

You can send 200 to somewhere like Rwanda, maybe even 2,000; at a pinch, maybe even 20,000. You cannot, however, send 200,000, or 2 million, or 4 million, or 6 million or more.

The United States is afraid of losing Ukrainian troops before the November presidential elections, because it will be very bad for the Biden administration, and especially for Kamala Harris.

Ukraine, even with American or Western weapons, cannot improve the situation on the battlefield, but the White House has only one goal – to ensure that the Ukrainians do not fail before the elections ,” says John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist.

Zelensky in an interview with NBC News: Russia must be present at the second peace summit He said that Ukraine and the signatories of the Swiss resolution will work out a plan to end the war by this event and will propose it for the second summit.

“Representatives of Russia must be present there. We understand that without the Russian side, it is very difficult to end this war diplomatically. And all countries asked us to have representatives of the Russian Federation at the second summit. We said, we are not against it, let’s prepare a plan and invite them.”

Zelensky knows that the Kiev regime is losing. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

Who that Labour ministerial drone is, I do not know. He’s talking absolute shite.

Thangam “Debbonaire” (real/original name is/was “Singh”), is expressing exactly what I predicted “Labour”-label would do, i.e. “stop the boats” by simply rubberstamping 95% of applicants for “asylum”, and allowing the invaders to enter “legally” via air, train, or ferry; thus not solving at all the actual problem of the swamping of the UK by migration-invasion, but keeping it off the TV screens, off Twitter/X, out of the newspapers etc.

It’s true. That weird individual’s name is Pitcavage, a Jew-Zionist who has made a kind of career as a supposed “expert” on “terrorism and extremism” with the very well financed Jew-Zionist snoop and anti-free-speech group, the “ADL”, in the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pitcavage.

Incidentally, one notes that that individual’s Jewish and Zionist origins are not mentioned on Wikipedia, which is often vandalized by Jewish/Zionist/Israeli groups such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the UK (the “CAA” even advertised openly for supporters with Wikipedia accounts to collaborate with them in “editing” some Wikipedia topics).

The Guardian cannot bring itself to face the truth. Likewise, the same scribblers published a long appraisal of the new Attorney-General a month ago, but only mentioned in passing the fact that he is not only a Jew but from a heavily Zionist background, and apparently, in the past, advised the “antifascist” Searchlight magazine Jews, not as a lawyer but when he was a student.

Politicized law under the Starmer-Labour dictatorship.

The point is that the UK is a failing society, overall.

Part of that is caused by the ever-lessening white European proportion of the population, and the ever-increasing non-white part of the population.

Connected with all that are falling standards in all areas: (real) education, administration, the justice system, the police, the NHS, the political system; and of course added to that the unjust and actually ridiculous First Past The Post voting system, as a result of which we now have a Labour Friends of Israel “elected” dictatorship of very little, very petty, people.

A “Labour”-label dictatorship “elected” by only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and by only 4 out of every 12 voters who actually voted. A government without legitimacy, without a popular mandate.

I recall mainly his talk with the then Prime Minister’s daughter, a rather attractive young lady who had been at an expensive school (Rugby) in England for several years (followed by 3 years at the LSE). That daughter had married an English tattooed heavy metal band leader and biker from somewhere “up North” (Leeds, I think); he died at the early age of 50, but the couple had already divorced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenia_Tymoshenko.

Nice to know that people care.

Imagine a city of between 500,000 and 1,500,000 in the UK, somewhere such as Birmingham (nearly 1M population), Liverpool (nearly 900,000 population), Nottingham (730,000), Sheffield (635,000), Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Leicester, and others.

Well, each of those cities have a roughly equivalent population to the influx into the UK of mostly non-Europeans every year. Many have smaller populations.

Only a lunatic, or someone completely brainwashed by System multikulti propaganda, could think that such a situation is in any way sustainable in a country the size of the UK. Housing, pay, State benefits (including pensions), rail, roads, education, public order, even water supply.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/cities/united-kingdom.

This is our economic model:

1) Spend more on “public services” – aka make way for more Night Czars and people who will spend your money on rainbow kayaking/ drag queen life drawing classes (real life examples of council spending).

2) Do nothing about factors increasing demand on services – eg migration (legal and illegal) – while building nothing and rarely expanding infrastructure. Then act surprised when prices increase (“rent controls now!”), as well as demonising anyone who points out that migration is a form of demand. They must be a bigot, after all, for worrying about the UK spending approximately £10 billion a year on accommodation for asylum seekers – paired with runaway demand. Rich people can pay for it, or something; anyway, doesn’t demand just vanish into thin air?!

3) Allow eco loons to impose anti-car measures on some of the most economically productive and in-demand workers; eg plumbers, builders and others with practical skills who need a car for their job. Ensure that they lose jobs from sitting in traffic and are subject to punitive measures for not being able to cycle a new bath tab to a client. Add red tape as much as possible to everything. Get a small business to prove its commitment to environment and diversity before it’s actually broken-even.

4) Hire for every state sector job through the primary prism of immutable characteristics.

5) Ignore what jobs are in demand – eg. practical/ technology – and continue sending droves of young people to university to do subjects that bear no relation to what skills employers need. Remember, young people should be able to “follow their dreams” – all of them! – and anyone who says don’t do a degree in decolonising dinosaurs is anti working-class. Besides, if Brits won’t do jobs, we’ll just hire from abroad, so that demand for housing can increase, and with it rental costs – which young people will then blame landlords/ lack of rent controls for.

And voila = growth!

I agree with pretty much all of that.

Most people “think” via their feeling, i.e. via emotion, or via undisciplined will. They want to believe, so they do believe. Someone of the Zoe Gardner (near) “open borders” type is a typical example.

Most MPs now are enemies of the people. All of the present Cabinet are enemies of the people.

People like Amy Lamé (a crazed American lesbian appointed —God knows why— as London “Nightlife Tsar” or something similar) are just a waste of space. She should be sacked and made to dig turnips, plant trees, or the like.

Incidentally, I seem to recall she tweeted unpleasantly to me about 8 years ago, when I still had a Twitter account.

“Public services” I support wholeheartedly, if they are useful. I am talking about (proper) police, fire brigades, public health workers (real ones, not “Covid crazies”), parks and park wardens, litter sweepers, public swimming pools, water supplies etc.

In 2024, Amy Lamé was awarded her fourth pay rise a few days after the 2024 London Mayor Election, in which her pay for her 3 days a week role was increased to £132,846.[27]

Her role and the ability for the London Assembly to hold her to account has been a source of confusion, given that she is classed as a GLA member of staff[28] and therefore cannot be scrutinised by the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives or the Greens in the London Assembly.”

Banana Boat

I first saw this amusing short documentary on American public TV in 1991 or 1992 (it was released in 1991). About a group of passengers on one of the Geest “banana boats” that (I think still) take cars and other items out from the UK to the West Indies, and then return with millions of bananas.

Such ships carry passengers because the income is a welcome extra, but they cannot carry more than (I think) 12, because any greater number would require the ship to have a doctor on board.

A very good film, and nicely presented by one Nigel Farrell, who —I just now see— must have been 37 or 38 at the time, and who (I have just read) died in 2011, 20 years after the film was made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farrell.

Stray thought

Dan Hodges seems to have forgotten (assuming that he ever knew) that, in the Soviet Union, in Stalin’s day and even afterward, ordinary criminals were often treated better than “politicals”.

In any case, the “police state” aspect in question is not Hodges’ “early release” red herring but the incarceration of people for minor disorder, or for tweeting comments etc.

The present UK situation is similar (don’t forget Starmer’s extreme pseudo-socialist ideological background): the real criminals are being released after having served only 40% —with other measures in place, as little as 20%— of their headline sentences, but —by any other name— political, or treated as political, prisoners are being swiftly incarcerated, and are being more harshly sentenced as well.

Incidentally, not only those convicted following the recent protests and/or “riots” (nb. I myself do not consider saying “boo!” to a police riot squad operative, pushing at his plastic shield, looting a sausage-roll shop, or even overturning the odd police car, a “riot” nor indeed a “political protest” as such).

A while ago, I read that a young man had served his entire headline sentence (6 years, I think), having been convicted on one of those trumped-up bs pseudo-“terrorism” charges the UK police and Clown Prosecution Service seem to love today (they often involve an accusation that the accused shared some or another “terrorist” material online, and at the same time owned completely lawful objects such as copies of Mein Kampf or a picture of Hitler; random pieces of circumstantial “evidence” put in to bamboozle a typical low-IQ rubber-stamp “British” jury).

More broadly, the lack of real knowledge of history is widespread now. As G.K. Chesterton said, he feared the uneducated less than he feared the badly-educated.

I was just watching a recorded episode of The Chase [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(British_game_show)], first broadcast some years ago.

The “Chaser”, Jenny Ryan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Ryan], fluffed the question “which of these three was first to be named as Time magazine Man of the Year in 1923?“, the three being Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin.

I thought Mussolini (because of the October 1922 March on Rome, after which Mussolini became Prime Minister), and that turned out to be the correct answer. However, it occurred to me that there was at least a possibility that the correct answer would be Hitler (because of the Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923).

What swung it for me was that Hitler was still only a fringe figure in 1923, whereas Mussolini had taken over his country’s leadership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini#Appointment_as_Prime_Minister.

However, Jenny Ryan, “the Vixen”, thought that Stalin was the right answer, afterwards commenting that she had “thought that Stalin was a much bigger figure back then“, thus showing ignorance of the history of all three countries concerned (Stalin’s more or less supreme power in the Soviet Union only dated from about 1928, though it increased from 1924; in 1923, Lenin was still alive, and the leadership still somewhat collegial). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#1924%E2%80%931927:_Succeeding_Lenin.

“The Vixen” later made another mistake on the same show, in failing to choose Offa as the answer to a question on Anglo-Saxon history; she chose “Cnut” (Canute), but he was not even an Anglo-Saxon king (though admittedly a king during the Anglo-Saxon period). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offa_of_Mercia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut.

That’s the problem with such quiz shows, esp. The Chase. The “Chasers” and others have memorized lists, and (some) facts, but generally have no real in-depth background. I have noticed that with other Chasers, such as “The Beast”, Mark Labett.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing“, especially in political journalism.

I wonder what (((special interest group))) mainly influences the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship? Need one ask?

In the end, though, the Starmer-Labour government, for all its “massive majority” triumphalism, only got the votes of 4 people out of every 20 (eligible), 4 out of every 12 people (that voted). Quite a number of even the voters that voted Labour only did so to make sure that the Conservative Party lost the election.

The real support for Labour is about 10% of the population. The real support for the attack on free speech etc is even smaller, only a few percent of the whole population.

Starmer and Labour have no legitimate mandate.

I agree.

The police and Clown Prosecution Service love the “performative” stuff such as “storming” a plane to arrest someone (rather than waiting until the passengers disembark and go through immigration in the normal way, then quietly detaining the suspect).

It’s all part of the Starmer-Labour poundland police state and TV/Press show for the masses. Pretending that throwing a plastic bollard or a wheelie bin is “terrorism” etc.

So the Israelis have now killed over 40,000 people in Gaza, the vast majority non-combatants, and the majority of them women and children (or at least juveniles under 18).

According to the Israeli authorities themselves, the Jewish/Israeli death toll in Southern Israel arising from the attack by Hamas operatives on 7 October 2023 was just over 1,100, of which about a third were Israeli soldiers, police, and operatives of the Shin Beth security organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israel#Revision_of_casualty_numbers

So, Israeli death toll on 7 October 2023— about 1,180.

Palestinian Arab death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to date— over 40,000.

The Jews in Israel/Palestine will not be content (and in fact not even then) until they “own”, by conquest or trickery or terrorist gangsterism, all of the land in the country.

Harold Wilson

Happened to see this recently-republished 2016 Guardian reminiscence of Harold Wilson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson] and the Isles of Scilly:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/27/scilly-harold-wilson-prime-minister

Harold Wilson was (in the 1960s; he returned for a couple of years in the 1970s) Prime Minister at a time of transition, when Britain still had (more) remnants of our once-vast Empire, and when it still stood up sometimes to the demands of our supposed “ally” across the Atlantic. Wilson refused to join the USA in the Vietnam War, though Australia and New Zealand did, considering themselves bound by their SEATO membership [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia_Treaty_Organization]. The UK, though, was also a SEATO member, as were other states.

Domestically, the UK still had so many possibilities (in the 1960s as well as the 1970s), partly because mass immigration had scarcely started, as compared to 2024 (you rarely, almost never, saw black, brown, or other non-European persons). The very few (literally one or two, except at Oxford University) seen by me in the 1960s in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, where I lived, were occasional people such as NHS consultants.

I should know what the UK was like back then: I was born in 1956.

In the 1960s, there were many modernizing developments in the UK (for good or ill, sometimes for good) such as the Open University, the first motorways (M1, M4), Concorde etc. Also, after 20 years, Britain was just starting to pull away strongly from the restricted post-WW2 atmosphere that had hung over the country since the Pyrrhic victory of 1945.

As for Wilson himself, I encountered him when I was 9, or maybe just 10, in 1966 (my birthday being in early September). I was for some reason determined to meet him and, knowing that he was on the island, stalked a few people who looked, to my mind, a bit like him until I found my quarry on the quay at Hugh Town, St. Mary’s, accompanied by his sole bodyguard, a slim “British officer” type with a pencil moustache, his pistol and holster hidden under a cricket jumper tied around his waist, only the thin brown gun belt over the shoulder giving it away.

[the 9-10 year-old Millard, at left, with younger brothers and Harold Wilson, in 1966]

Wilson has been much-criticized over the years, but had some good qualities, not only personally but politically. He was unlucky inasmuch as the trade unions were all-powerful at the time, and because Britain was still, psychologically, fighting the Second World War.

Trump says he’s disappointed that the Israel and Jewish lobby isn’t as powerful now as it was 15 years ago. “15 years ago, if you said anything bad about Israel or the Jewish people, you were finished as a politician — the most powerful lobby in this country by far, was Israel and Jewish people. Today it’s almost like, what happened?

People at last, and at least, started to wake up, that’s what happened.

Part of that is younger people (worldwide) not using the Jewish/Zionist controlled or influenced “legacy media”, aka “mainstream media”, very much these days.

Trump, as President, always was a squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by Jews, but at least he might be able to prevent WW3, if re-elected.

I thought, before Biden stood aside, that Trump was “nailed on” to win, but the Kamala Harris candidature changes that, stupid and incredibly ignorant though she is.

For one thing, the American masses now vote mainly according to identity box-ticking. Many of the blacks will vote for Kamala Harris just because she is non-white (half-Jamaican, half-Tamil Indian). Many American women will vote for her simply because she is a woman.

I am beginning to think that Trump might lose this. Maybe that is why he is trying to get the Jews on-side. They may only comprise 2% of the American population, but their influence over the mass media makes their support all but indispensable for Trump.

I now find the US Presidential Election impossible to call.

Race, crime, and police reporting

Take a look at this local newspaper report.

https://www.advertiserandtimes.co.uk/sport/cctv-500-of-medicinal-products-stolen-from-lymington-store-9379199/

Shoplifters caught on cctv. The police describe them both as “white“, which they plainly are not.

I wonder how accurate many such reports are (or, rather, are not).

The police of the UK are pretty close to being just useless now, and are utterly suffused with “woke” nonsense.

Good to know that the UK still has some honourable diplomats, even if they feel impelled to resign.

Ha. I wonder what my probation officer would make of that, were she to read my blog?

Yes, dear readers, those of you who are not regular readers of the blog…I myself am, in effect, on probation, the result of my free speech trial, conviction, and sentence (trial November 2023; sentence March 2024).

15 “rehabilitation days” (in fact, mostly fairly short meetings, so far), and a financial impost, being the (notional) costs of trial— £734 in all, a third of which was crowdfunded by a few generous donors.

…thus it was that, thanks to the Jew-Zionists, and their police and “Clown” Prosecution Service dupes, I joined the “criminal classes”, or at least the convict classes.

Actually, I rather like my probation officer, despite the fact that, ideologically, at least as I apprehend, we are poles apart. My next scheduled meeting will be in September.

The whole Kafka-esque situation rather tickles me (when it does not irritate me), though of course I should never have been subjected to nuisance and inconvenience, should never have been charged, certainly should never have been convicted and, even then, should have received by way of sentence something purely nominal, such as a £50 fine (if anything).

A special law was passed JUST FOR KIER STARMER to save tax on his pension when he retired from public Prosecutions in 2013. The Coalition government afforded him this unique right. This needs to be known widely. He’s just cut The Winter Fuel Allowance… Happy to stand corrected but here’s a government document.

Not a lot of people know that” (I certainly did not).

Typical.

Jessica Simor, yet another “human rights” barrister who secretly —or even openly— wants to institute police-state measures if people say things with which she disagrees.

Incidentally, Jessica Simor was a fervent supporter of the joke “party”, Change UK, at which I used to laugh on the blog before it went down the drain. I occasionally laughed at her too.

She is a bit of a loose cannon generally: https://order-order.com/people/jessica-simor/.

Hampstead pseudo-liberal.

Jessica Simor is at least opposed to the Israeli slaughter of Gazan civilians, so that is something.

I usually am more fair to others than they are to me.

That really is amazing.

It may be anthropomorphizing on my part, but the snake actually seems grateful, somehow.

As I have said for months —if not years— Labour, Starmer-Labour, will “solve” the illegal Channel crossings by simply rubberstamping 90%-95% of applications in France (or even in Africa and Asia), thus magically turning illegal migrant-invaders into nominally “legal” ones.

The remaining 5%-10% will then still try to cross the Channel anyway and, once here, will not be deported, just as at present.

Starmer-Labour has even less intention than Sunak-Conservatism of stopping mass immigration aka migration-invasion. Once you read about the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, all will be made clear…

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

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints The Camp of the Saints (FrenchLe Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail.[1][2][3] A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world. Almost forty years after its initial publication, the novel returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[4]]

World literature is, of course, replete with novels that, later, became true, at least in some slightly modified form.

Starmer-Labour is a falsely-“elected” dictatorship, and even tyranny, which, even more than the last 14 years of fake “Conservative” misrule, offers the people nothing.

How about detaching the very few “rioters” from the thousands of entirely-legitimate protesters? Not to mention the tens of millions who want England to be England, not a rubbish dump for people from the most backward parts of the world?

In fact, where was David Davis, where was Starmer, where was Yvette Cooper, when the Gypsies of Harehills (Leeds) were rioting, only a week or so ago? Nowhere, or excusing them. Same with the Bangladeshi rioters in East London.

The System is trying to demonize all white (i.e. English) dissenters or dissidents by focussing the msm on a few bottle-throwers. Also, of course, ignoring the fact that our society is slowly collapsing, and mainly by reason of mass immigration.

Our animal friends

What lovely creatures.

System MPs, System scribblers, and System TV talking heads are almost all in favour of mass immigration. Enemies of the people and of the future of the people.

All major rebellions or uprisings carry along with them a “hooligan” element. Indeed, Bukovsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Bukovsky; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Bukovsky#To_Build_a_Castle_(1978)] and some other Soviet dissidents believed that the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 was so effective (initially) because of the Budapest “hooligan” element. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956. Secret policemen, prosecutors etc were hanged by the rebels.

What Britain needs, though, is not an urban riot scenario but a disciplined social-national movement, something which at present does not exist.

“Our wonderful NHS”…

Superficially, System political commentator Iain Dale’s tweet commends the NHS, but not if you look a little further.

My first wife, an American, suddenly had terrible pain one Saturday morning in 1991 (I think it was). We drove to a general practitioner doctor in a small strip mall nearby. She had not been to him before but in the USA it is not usually necessary to be registered (unlike, as I believe, in the UK) to get an emergency appointment like that.

The small doctor’s office had no-one waiting, so once a patient left (about 5 mins), the Italian-American GP saw my then wife. He diagnosed her (it later turned out, entirely correctly), within a few minutes, as having a gall bladder problem, and suggested a couple of possible hospitals. He then charged her USD $25, cash on the nail.

We drove to the suggested hospital, about a 25-minute drive down the Garden State Parkway.

[Garden State Parkway, New Jersey, USA]

The suggested hospital was not very far from the Parkway, half a mile perhaps.

A modern hospital, the car park almost empty (and no charge for parking, unlike the absurd and sometimes stressful situation in the UK).

On entering, I think no-one there except a couple of uniformed nurses or whoever behind a glass-screened reception desk.

My then wife, in some pain, explained her problem, and was asked what insurance she had. That was not a problem, because she had a high level of medical insurance that went with her job (she was an employee of the U.S. Federal Government). She was then admitted through the security door and escorted away by a nurse. I was asked to wait.

A short time later, the reception person told me that the Head of Surgery would be down to speak with me. Imagine that in the NHS…

The Head of Surgery was a tweed-suited character, redolent of reassurance and expertise, like a surgeon in a Hollywood film, and sporting a full white beard, a bit like Sigmund Freud but more solid-looking and self-confident than Freud as seen in the photo below.

I was greeted pleasantly by the Head of Surgery, and informed that my wife had to have a gall-bladder operation and that that would be done either later that day or the next day.

In the end, my first wife spent three days in hospital, mostly on her own in a comfortable if rather white/cream and basic room (no wards in that hospital, unlike the UK; France also has only individual or shared rooms).

On discharge, the bill was itemized minutely, despite everything being covered by insurance, and nothing needing to be paid by us. It was posted to us a couple of days later (for our records only). I think that it was (33 years ago) about USD $24,000. Expensive… thank God for the insurance.

Two or maybe three nights stay, one operation, medications, other stuff used, food, drink etc.

So, thinking about that, and comparing that to Iain Dale’s experience, I have no idea how long Dale suffered before even getting a consultation and diagnosis. Not same-day, anyway. Weeks? Months?

Then again, how many NHS patients with similar-level problems (excruciating pain but nothing immediately life-threatening) would get immediate attention, immediate hospitalization, and almost immediate surgery? (I think the operation was done the following day).

Of course, in the UK you can get quicker attention if you pay privately, or have BUPA insurance etc. I have no idea whether Dale was in an NHS hospital or not. All, the same, his operation is scheduled for six weeks’ time! My first wife only had to wait for about 20 hours.

I am of course not medically qualified, but I thought that that experience was worth recounting.

Naturally, the elephant in the room is insurance or money. Without one or the other, I wonder whether an American would get even medicines or painkillers, let alone surgery; I cannot say. We hear that 40% of Americans are either uninsured or under-insured. The only good thing Obama did was to try to reform that situation (as I understand it). I do not know what Medicaid and Medicare might now offer.

“Free at point of use” healthcare is the NHS trump card, of course.

Few would want to import the American healthcare system to the UK, with the American inequities and money-orientation. However, the NHS is now a pretty basic service in most respects, as compared to many advanced countries. Too many people accept its deficiencies and treat it more like an object of veneration than a useful service, a service which, however, now needs to be properly reformed.

Incidentally, a year prior to the above events, my first wife had been recommended to have a scan, in relation to something else, and had been given a choice of seven hospitals within a 30-mile range where that could be done. In the same year, 1990 I think, one of the largest teaching hospitals in the UK, King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill (South London) had had to appeal for donations from the public to get such a scanner machine. I recall the banner (like a big red thermometer) hanging on the outside of the hospital when I often passed by c.1990.

The Kiev regime just keeps pushing and pushing…

According to the narrator of the Nevil Shute novel, On the Beach, once famous and even filmed, “thus the world ended, not with a bang but a whimper” (if I recall it correctly from about 50 years ago). Will our known world end with a bloody big bang or two (in the Middle East, first)?

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

I wonder how many more migrant-invaders crossed the Channel in the past 24 hours? How many hundreds?

Whatever the number today has been, about 20x that number came in over the past day “legally”…

Late thoughts about Starmer

Saw Starmer making part of his statement, or threats, really, on TV news earlier this evening. A few thoughts came to mind.

Firstly, it is clear that the events across the country have frightened both Starmer and equally-rattled Yvette Cooper. They both looked scared, behind the threats and bluster.

Second, only a month after the General Election, it is clear that Starmer has woken up to the fact that the British people have no love for him and Labour, despite the electorally-rigged “landslide”. He knows that only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour. In his heart, he must know that he really has no mandate.

Thirdly, Starmer has decided to rule by threats and fear. He wants to make people, “ordinary” citizens, fear the consequences even of attending a protest, or talking about events online. The tactics of a police state.

Fourthly, Starmer said that people arrested by reason of any of the above would be remanded in custody, i.e. not given bail. That is not Starmer’s decision to make, not so long as the UK retains any vestiges of being either a “free country” (though that ship has sailed, I think) or even “a society under law”.

It is not for a political office-holder, which is all that Starmer is, to effectively instruct (whether on the TV news or otherwise) magistrates, District Judges, and Crown Court judges as to whether they will grant bail or not.

A month into office, and Starmer-Labour already looks like a panicked police state.

This will not end well.

That seems to me (off the top of my head) less likely than a massive Iranian missile barrage on Tel Aviv, but I am only guessing.
