More needs to be known about that tendentious hypocrite.

Still no detail about her parentage, background, education, affiliations, work history (if any) outside pro-invasion “activism” etc.

She will have no future in a social-national UK.

I think that, on some level, the System wants a limited uprising, which can then be suppressed but also used to bring in yet more anti-free-speech, anti-protest measures. It may backfire, though, and then trigger a national revolution, the way things are going…

Translates to: Reform about 360 MPs and a comfortable Commons majority, Labour 113, LibDems 59, Cons 54 [etc].

One thought: is a fifth of the electorate really intending to vote “Conservative”? Seems very doubtful to me.

What the Israeli Jews (with help and money from Jews across the world) have done to Palestine generally, not just Gaza, over the past 77+ years, is not only appalling, but is a warning to non-Jews in the rest of the world.

In the well-known phrase, “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance“…

[“The Hebrew newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” reports from a foreign report: Data from Pentagon documents clarify the American difficulty in replenishing the stockpile. During the “12-day war,” the United States used more than 100 THAAD missiles – that is a quarter of the system’s operational stock. However, the production pace does not keep up with the required support for “Israel”: last year, only 11 THAAD missiles were produced, and this year only 12 are expected to be produced. According to American experts, this is a very rare resource and constitutes a critical part of the American deterrence system even against other adversaries like China.”]

Long-term and regular readers of the blog will know that I have blogged a few times about the month I spent at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1998 (part of three straight months I spent in Egypt that year). Siwa had slave caravans coming through from Central Africa to the Nile and Nile Delta right up until the 1940s, I think the late 1940s.

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

One of several unusual features about Siwa is that, at least until the late 20thC, men were not allowed to marry until aged 40, but girls were always married by their early teens. I was told that the girls now finish their schooling first (whether that means 16 or 18, probably 16).

Both men had their sentences suspended after Judge Vanessa Baraitser considered the bursting prison population and an assessment by the Probation Service that found both defendants were unlikely to reoffend if they took up the opportunity to do self-help workshops. Both must pay compensation to their victims and attend rehabilitation days instead.

Williams-Gillett reached through the window and took his car keys. When his pregnant partner asked for the keys back, Williams-Gillett tried to punch her. By now the dad 50, had come back down the stairs and tried to pull Williams-Gillett away from the partner, triggering a brutal assault.

“Your response to that was to launch a violent attack on him. To stab him repeatedly to his face, so hard the keys were bent out of shape from the impact,” said Judge Baraitser.

Unable to start the car, the man phoned his cousin for help, while Williams-Gillett’s brother Fabian Bennett also arrived carrying a metal baseball bat. Bennett immediately set to work on the dad with the baseball bat, hitting his legs, ribs, and body. Williams-Gillett also joined in the beating, kicking the dad and using the baseball bat.

Bennett then turned to the pregnant woman, grabbed her by the throat, and bent her backwards over a fence while goading her partner ‘using her as bait’. When the cousin arrived in his Citroen, the man and his partner got in the car while Williams-Gillett used the bat to smash the windows, including where a child was sitting.

The cousin was punched in the face, but the first male victim managed to drive everyone away leaving his Hyundai behind. When he came back to get the car, the doors had been broken and his partner’s purse containing £350 in cash and her Monzo card was stolen.

Williams-Gillett was sentenced to 18 months suspended for 20 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must also pay £1,700 in compensation. Bennett got 12 months suspended for 18 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must pay £500 compensation.”

Plainly inadequate.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I am very much not a “hanger and flogger”, but that sentence for those crimes makes a mockery of “law and order” or “a society under law”.

The Hebrew caption reads: “Anyone who throws a water bottle can also throw a grenade. Mobilize everyone.” That refers to the exemption of the “black hat” Jews from military service in Israel/Occupied Palestine. Those “black hats” are a cowardly bunch, though. Look at how that young woman is able to chase one who threw water at her, and kick another in the rear!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/16/nigel-farage-adviser-uk-would-be-better-off-if-it-had-not-fought-nazi-germany

An adviser used by Nigel Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.

Jack Anderton, who ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also said the UK should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Alternative history is interesting; if Britain had not fought in WW1 and WW2, it would not have had to rely on America for economic support, and it would have had the independence to act accordingly. Britain could have developed India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In the coming meritocracy, perhaps Britain could regain some of these nations.”

The same post also argues against providing support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion: “We are sending billions of pounds (that we cannot afford) to prop up a country that we have no allegiance to. Russia is not our enemy, they have not attacked Britain.

There really is something disgusting about all the System “shills”, such as Jukes, ganging up on Lucy Connolly, an ordinary provincial woman without wealth or power, overwhelmed by the fake “counter-terror” juggernaut running her down and crushing her.

Yes, she probably did squirm and try to escape her unmerited fate by inventing this or that story, but she pleaded guilty (I think mistakenly) and, instead of issuing her with a conditional discharge and allowing her to return home (no doubt grateful and chastened) to her unwell husband and two little daughters, the legal system or “justice” system (?) imprisoned her for not far short of 3 years (even if it now seems that she may soon be released after having served just over 1 year).

Erudite, narrowly but expensively educated appeal judges have pronounced upon her, dissected her legally, and put System control above individual justice.

Lucy Connolly can, in my view, certainly be regarded as a victim of the emergent UK police state and what the Chinese used to call “running dogs” of the same. There is something of bullying and concerted victimization about the way this woman has been treated.

It is easy to be wise after the event(s). Lucy Connolly should, of course, have refused to be interviewed by police, or given a “no comment” interview. I do not know whether she had a solicitor from the beginning.

I can see (based on what I think were the facts) that she was not well-advised. In the event, she was not (I believe) even given bail pending trial; if so, a ridiculous, very harsh, totally unnecessary, and totally political or politically-aware decision.

It is clear that Starmer-stein’s Cabinet were all panicking a year ago. They could see the possibility of their beloved vision of a multikulti “non-racist”, non-white England or Britain literally going up in smoke, and in flames. Hence the Draconian penalties visited upon some unfortunate and (as the “liberal” Observer/Guardian etc types no doubt saw with enjoyment) plebeian protesters and tweeters.

Well, the protests were, temporarily, stopped, but the migration invasion has continued, and at a pace even greater than in 2024.

What has gone up in flames, along with the multikulti “refugees welcome” fantasies of the likes of Jukes, Jonathan Portes, Zoe Gardner etc, is the popularity of the Starmer-stein government of incompetent “Friends of Israel”. Only about 20% of potential voters at the next general election are presently intending to vote Labour, and I doubt whether that will increase by very much.

The above clowns typify the System view of the Ukraine conflict. EU bureaucrat/politico Verhofstadt wants EU taxpayers to fund Zelensky’s war and shambolic dictatorship endlessly, while that Greek wants EU states to take an active part in the war, sending troops to fight there.

Some people in Western Europe just have a death wish.

Incidentally, as far as British troops are concerned, how long does would-be statesman and pathetic incompetent, Starmer, imagine that our soldiers would last, even under the “peacekeepers” label? Not long if and when any ceasefire ends. The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-3,000 soldiers (pressganged civilians kidnapped off the streets) daily (killed, badly wounded, or captured). Britain’s whole —front-line and battle-ready— Army seems to number about 15,000. If that. About 2-6 weeks’ supply, then…

Starmer is a complete idiot to want to get further involved in Ukraine, a fake state, completely corrupt, and with which the UK has effectively no commonality of history or interest.

It made me laugh to read that the ludicrous one-time, would-be, Scottish “national leader”, Nicola Sturgeon, is thinking of relocating to, of all places, London, the centre of the (SNP fantasy) “Sassenach” oppressors!

THE KILLING OR MAIMING OF BABIES IS NOT A COLLATERAL DAMAGE. IT IS AN ISRAELI POLICY. Listen to what former head of the military intelligence directorate said in a recording leaked just today. He said that israel should kill 50 Palestinians for each israeli killed on 10/7, even if these Palestinians were kids. Listen to what israeli ministers and knesset members say. Some want to eliminate Palestinian babies. Listen to religious leaders too: Rabbi Eliyahu Mali “Today he is a baby, tomorrow he is a fighter … whoever comes to kill you … also includes the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce the future generation (women of Gaza)” And the whole fu**ing world is not stopping them.“]

The UK (government and people) should be cracking down at least on Israel’s diplomatic representation in this country and, most importantly, on the Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals which are facilitating Israeli war crimes; organizations such as the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and its unpleasant spokespersons such as “Slitherman”.

Child abuse seems to be prevalent in Israel, which really is a very sick society.

Is that so surprising? There has been a gradual takeover of the USA (especially political life, publishing, TV/radio, film industry legal system) by “them”; over a century or more, but especially since the 1970s.

It is at its most obvious, arguably, in respect of American politicians, the bought-and-paid-for Ted Cruz or Huckabee type.

[“In the first photo, we see a leader capable of achieving victories both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table — a leader who defends national interests and sets the agenda, rather than following imposed scenarios. In the second — a politician who endlessly balances on the threshold of others’ offices, begging for support, but ultimately sacrificing his people to the interests of the USA and NATO. Alas, history has not become a source of political wisdom for him.“]

Israel is doomed.

Mostly non-whites, and/or public sector office workers, NHS staff (maybe), CPS box-tickers, and the like..

All the same, he has 7,000 nuclear weapons, and three million men under arms. Has Montgomerie never heard of Napoleon?

If Montgomerie thinks that Putin looks comical or inadequate, what must he have thought of Britain’s pygmy “national leaders”? Starmer-stein, somewhere between an irrelevance and a national embarrassment; the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, who stands about 5 ft nothing; Liz Truss, thick as two short planks, quite uneducated, and who only became an MP in the first place on her back; Boris-idiot, the part-Jew chancer and self-promoter, who always pretended to some kind of great classical erudition but whose real knowledge of anything and everything is very very shallow; Theresa May, another partly-Jewish one, formerly a back-room nobody in the direct-debit and cheque-clearing organization, BACS; David Cameron-Levita, partly-Jewish, again, and whose Libyan misadventure has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe. All of those…

Incidentally, all of those noted are or were in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

That tweeter/commentator, Stadlen, a half-Jew, takes every opportunity to attack those fighting against the migration-invasion of this country.

As to the “jury’s verdict” in the Ricky Jones case, it was plainly perverse, plainly political or socio-political and, as I noted yesterday on the blog, probably the result of a largely or entirely non-white jury, and/or one containing jurors motivated by socio-political bias.

In fact, once society becomes fragmented, the jury system no longer works properly, at least in “political” cases. That is what happened in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Juries were biased either towards or against defendants, bias based on perceived community allegiances, or were subject to intimidation. Thus it became necessary to institute “Diplock courts”, in which a judge sat without a jury:

“The courts were established in response to a report submitted to the UK Parliament in December 1972 by Lord Diplock,[6] which addressed the issue of dealing with physical force Irish republicanism through means other than internment (which had been implemented in August 1971). In his report, Diplock cited two primary reasons for his recommendation that jury trials should be suspended: that jurors had been threatened, “of which we have had ample evidence”.[7]; the danger of perverse acquittals...”

[Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplock_court].

A friend of mine, a barrister, once saw a Diplock court in action in Belfast, sometime in the 1980s (invited to see it by a barrister he knew from that region). He told me it was strange to enter a typical old-style British courtroom, all wooden panelling, bewigged judge and Counsel etc, but no jury. As well as the usual court staff, usher etc, a couple of policemen standing guard, and armed with submachineguns.

In the case before that court, a man stood accused of being a member of one of the paramilitary organizations (I forget which one). My friend recounting this to me said that the impression was that of a kangaroo court, but in fact the judge, on consideration of all the evidence, acquitted the defendant at the end.

A number of (real) British people have been imprisoned for race/politics offences in recent years, after juries convicted them; Jez Turner, and Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), to name but two. Time for Brits on juries to start acquitting those standing up for European race, culture and civilization.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

Britain is little better, these days. The influence of Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby orgs is pervasive, not only in politics but also in the mass media, law, and other areas of society.

Stunning. Translates to about 394 MPs for Reform UK, an official majority of 68, in reality about 80.

Labour 83 MPs (the lowest predicted in recent times, I believe; in 1931, Labour scored only 52 MPs). Labour’s predicted 83 MPs result is all the more stunning following Starmer-Labour’s 411 MPs, elected only a year ago, at GE 2024.

LibDems are predicted to get 56 MPs, Cons 43, SNP 40, Greens 8 (etc).

As I have been saying for years on the blog, we in the UK, particularly in England, are in a negative-voting situation, in which people vote against, not for.

It just so happens that both the main System parties have pretty much burned their boats with the voting public. That does not mean that people really enthuse much about Reform UK and Farage etc. It means, simply, that most white English people, especially, are now completely hostile to both Lab and Con. They are willing to vote Reform as a last throw of the “democratic” dice. If —and when— Reform govern, or try to govern, and fail, then the people will be ready to turn to a proper social national alternative.

This puts Farage and Reform in a strong position. Because people are well aware that Farage and Reform and, indeed, most Reform candidates, MPs etc, are rather underwhelming, little scandal can really touch them, because the voters seem now very ready to vote against both Lab and Con, and because Reform is the only game in town that carries any weight at present, electorally.

I agree, overall. However, the pro-Reform vote is really, and as Goodwin’s own argument shows, a vote against the System parties and against mass immigration, inter alia. It is not really a vote for any particular policy programme.

Not that that really matters in electoral terms. If it comes to pass, that poll means that 328 Labour MPs will be binned in or before 2029, as will 77 Conservative Party MPs (including Alex Burghart, James Cleverly, Dunce Duncan Smith, Christopher Chope, Mel Stride, Simon Hoare, Helen Whately, David Davis, Caroline Dineage, Kit Malthouse, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne, Rishi Sunak, Nick Timothy, Andrew Mitchell, Katie Lam, Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and, last but not least, Carpetbagger Kemi Badenoch herself).

If it happens, that must mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious political force, notwithstanding its long history and the predicted bloc of 43 surviving the cull of two-thirds of the Con Party MPs.

Even now, in 2025, the Conservative Party appears totally irrelevant.

The predicted huge cull of Labour MPs would include such names as Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, Christian Wakeford, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Mike Tapp, Luke Akehurst (one of the most “controlled” Israel puppets), John McDonnell, Bridget Phillipson, Wes Streeting, Rachel “from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Chris Bryant, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Heidi Alexander, Angela Eagle, Lisa Nandy, and Emma Reynolds.

Many deserving “victims” there, most of them Israel-lobby puppets.

Any barrister, at least any barrister grounded in reality (I myself am no longer any kind of barrister, a wrongful and unlawful disbarment having been instigated by a pack of Jews in 2016), can tell you why a jury has acquitted that anti-white black agitator who called openly in the street for white British people to have their throats cut.

The chances are that the jury was mainly or entirely composed of non-whites. I used to appear from time to time at Snaresbrook Crown Court in the early 1990s and, in 1992, as a Bar pupil (trainee), was there several times a month, my pupillage having been part-criminal.

[Me as newly-minted barrister, 1992 or 1993, when I was often to be found in places such as Snaresbrook Crown Court; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaresbrook_Crown_Court]

Even in the 1990s, the juries at Snaresbrook were often, in fact usually, at least partly non-white. Scroll on about 32 or 33 years and one can imagine that that is now even more the case.

Add to that the fact that many jurors in London are now people who are quite opposed to “law and order” generally (and that applies even more to Snaresbrook Crown Court, the catchment area for jurors of which being East London; Snaresbrook has a relatively high acquittal rate).

Remember the O.J. Simpson original trial in California? Despite the American msm bs (I was in the USA at the time), the fact is that the defence, shorn of a huge amount of (mostly) nonsense, amounted to “the victim was white, the defendant black, so the black jury should acquit the black of killing the white“. Which is what happened.

From an original jury pool of 40 percent white, 28 percent black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 15 percent Asian, the final jury for the trial had ten women and two men, of whom nine were black, two white, and one Hispanic.” [Wikipedia].

The monster will, in effect, do about 1 month inside for every sexual assault he has done, or rather the ones in respect of which he was caught and convicted. There will inevitably be other offences for which he was neither caught nor convicted.

The monster will be out in about 7-8 months, if not 6 months. My solution? Wall. Squad. End.

Backward untermenschen of his type should not be living in this country at all.

If truth be known, I had no idea that either was still alive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Penhaligon; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayley_Mills.

I used to go occasionally to the very small (and now shut down by reason of spending cuts) Penzance County Court about 18-23 years ago. I think the last case I did there was about the loss, and valuation, of a rather expensive diamond ring.

Penzance is OK, but I do not think I should like to live there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penzance.

Incidentally, among the courts closed since 2010 have been the following (see link): https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-02-07/119601.

Adjournments.

In any case, a judicial review has the quasi-automatic consequence that criminal or civil cases likely to be affected by the outcome are stayed until the judicial review (and any appeal from the decision therefrom) is decided.

It would be good were reporters, journalists etc to know a little basic law before they start to comment.

I noticed that some Jew called Krassenstein, with a million “followers” on Twitter/X, has tweeted that the U.S. Government should have had Putin shot by a sniper after his plane landed in Alaska. Hard to believe that an idiot like that could be taken seriously (?) by a million people, even if they are American.

Thought for the day

The so-called “Glorious 12th”, start of the grouse season. A “sport” of which I disapprove, so good luck to all grouse today.

There are those who claim that shooting helps conservation of a number of species [see, e.g. https://www.sykeshousefarm.co.uk/news_stories/why-grouse-is-becoming-more-exclusive-than-ever/] but I feel that there are other ways to do that. In the end, I just feel that to take pleasure in shooting a creature, a warm-blooded one at that, is morally wrong.

In the years 2002-2008, when I was a barrister based in Exeter and (2002-2006) living on the Cornwall/Devon border, prime shooting territory, several of my colleagues in chambers shot. I recall one incident when one member of chambers shot a pheasant which then fell on the head of either his wife or someone else’s wife (I think the latter), the lady in question being knocked out as a consequence.

I cannot now recall whether the shooter was or was not the person who later had an affair with the lady in question, who later left the one barrister for the other (causing a big kefuffle in chambers, as might be imagined; however, this being England and not Texas or the Caucasus, no-one opened fire on anyone else, and no blood was spilt).

Awkward, and I quite liked all three members of chambers involved (one involved simply as another gun on the fateful day; the lady involved was not a barrister, though I think that I did meet her once).

In fact, as someone who does not interfere with other people if it can be avoided, and because in those years I spent half my time at my then home in Finistere, or elsewhere, I was apparently the only member of Chambers for some time unaware of the personal upset that had occurred (though I had heard about the earlier, pheasant-caused, injury).

In what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance units punched through exposed defences in eastern Ukraine, slipping as far as six miles behind the front line in just 48 hours, according to battlefield reports.

Kyiv has diverted special forces units to confront the insurgents on the ground in an attempt to prevent any more of Ukraine falling under Russia’s control before the summit in Alaska.

The location, near Dobropillya in Donetsk, is strategically significant. If Moscow’s forces are able to establish a foothold, the breach could allow Russia to cut off the city of Kramatorsk, one of the most vital strongholds in the Donbas still under Kyiv’s control.

If the city falls, it would give Putin almost full control over the Donbas and strengthen his negotiating power when bargaining over Ukraine’s fate with the Trump administration.

As predicted on the blog, the Kiev-regime front is fast crumbling.

Currently, according to Bild military observer Julian Repke, the fate of 29% of the territory of the Donetsk region, which remains under Ukrainian control, is being decided.

North of Pokrovsk, the depth of the front breakthrough is already about 18 km, and the Ukrainian armed forces have only a few days to hold their positions before Russian drones and mechanized units are transferred there.

Novara Media examines “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”]

This was the Jew-Zionist cabal which, together with the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], the latter from behind the scenes, had me disbarred (the disbarment being both wrongful and unlawful) in 2016, some 8 years after I had stepped down from active practice at the Bar. See:

Blood will have blood” [Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act 3, Scene 4].

From the 1940s through to 2025, and continuing, Jews have seized, or cheated Arab Palestinians out of, their ancestral lands. Jews now own or control over 97% of pre-1948 Palestine (more if you include Gaza) yet even that is not enough for them. They want the remaining <3%…

Time to cut out Jewish and Israeli influence within UK governmental and societal structures.

First necessity is to stop listening to the concerted, organized Jew-Zionist/Israeli whining about what some Germans and some others are alleged to have done to some Jews in —mainly— the early 1940s, over 80 years ago, because that whole “holocaust” farrago is used as a shield to excuse or justify their crimes today.

[“Squandering the world’s enormous good will after 7/10 to the point where you are in serious hot water and everyone wants what’s left of an obliterated Palestine strewn with the corpses of starving/bombed children recognised and you think yup I’ll just blow up the Al Jazeera bros’ tent too and call them terrorists. Absolutely crackers. Speaks to a mess of a military operation, the lunacy of Netanyahu and half the IDF not unreasonably now wants to be home anyway. Meanwhile Tel Aviv erupts in protests. If you’re still ploughing on…“]

The Jewish/Israeli lobby in the UK, which is effectively an offshoot of Israel, has been trying to close down Al Jazeera for years. “UK Lawyers for Israel”, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and the rest. All part of the same basic or overall “operation”— a Hydra-headed monster.

Even some Zionist Jews, both inside and outside Israel, are appalled at the Israeli brutality in Palestine (in this case in the West Bank).

Not everything in Israel is evil, but when Israel is destroyed, as it surely will eventually be destroyed, almost all the non-Jewish world will breathe a sigh of relief.

All that Macron could do would be to repress the Jew-Zionist lobby in France itself, but I doubt that he would do that, looking at who put him into power in the first place. See:

Even someone previously sympathetic to Israel and Jew-Zionists is getting —or has gotten— absolutely sick of “them”. I know how she feels (though admittedly I was never much sympathetic to “them” in the first place).

Well, that had occurred to me, looking at the open dissent recently shown by former chiefs of Israel’s intelligence and security orgs.

The rejection of the American president’s peace proposal by Europe and Ukraine, which he might announce after talks with Vladimir Putin, could lead to the cessation of US arms deliveries to Kyiv and the renewal of threats to withdraw the US from NATO, Bloomberg reports. “There is a risk that Trump will offer Europe and Ukraine a deal similar to an ultimatum… Rejection could prompt Trump to halt arms deliveries to Ukraine or renew threats to leave NATO if Europe does not agree. Europe has had more than three years to prepare for this moment, yet it still lacks the military power to support Ukraine on its own,” adds the American news agency.

Prospects for territorial concessions horrify Ukraine and Europe, and the choice of Alaska as the meeting place was a subtle hint that Europeans and Kyiv have no leverage.”]

This is sounding better and better.

The time may be coming when the people will have to take matters into their own hands, at least temporarily.

This is what happens when you fail to clear out a backward culture, which has no right to be in any part of Europe.

In other news, a big bear was seen in Alaska…

Jew (Israeli) casualties during the Hamas incursion into southern Israel of 2023— about 1,000-1,500, many of which were members of military or security organizations, and many of which were killed in fact by Israeli forces operating a scorched earth policy.

Palestinian Arab casualties in Gaza killed or badly wounded as a result of Israeli/Jewish retaliation and revenge— about 200,000, mostly civilians, mostly women and children, many shot for evil sport by Jewish soldiers, or simply killed to clear a whole urban area. That, plus deliberate starvation, cutting off of water supply, deliberate withholding of medical supplies, bombing and complete destruction of hospitals.

The disproportion alone is staggering.

If what the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza are not war crimes, then the term is meaningless; same goes for “genocide”.

It is a misuse of the laws permitting proscription of supposedly “terrorist” organizations to label ordinary protesters “terrorist“. In fact, it makes a mockery of the whole thing.

Interesting. I knew that barrister and (sacked) part-time judge, Simon Myerson (of Leeds and Manchester) had been a witness in the case, and that the trial judge disbelieved his evidence (or discounted it as having been worthless) but had no idea that he was one of what looks now like a conspiratorial gaggle of Jews who apparently were “advising” the three losing defendants.

Newbon, of course, killed himself when he realized that his family home was on the line for having lost the libel case. He had concealed everything from his wife, too.

Sounds as though Myerson should probably be reported to the Bar Standards Board (not for the first time, I believe).

Much of a muchness with other recent polls. Reform with 375-400 MPs and a large Commons majority, Labour with about 122 MPs, and the Con Party left utterly irrelevant with about 27 MPs, making it only the 4th, possibly 5th-largest, party (after Reform, Lab, LibDems, and possibly the SNP).

I suppose some tyrannical leaders might be tempted to covertly eliminate them.

It seems that, not satisfied with having seized, or tricked the Arab Palestinians into giving up, 97% of the land of pre-1947 Palestine, the Jews now want the remaining 3% for Jewish Lebensraum.

There is now effectively nothing left of the original, or even original post-WW2 (1945-1989), Labour Party.

The irrelevance of the Conservative Party is plainly seen there. Despite Starmer-stein having a disapproval rating of 60%, and Kemi Badenoch having one of “only” 35%, when it comes to positive approval, the two are both down in the trough of public esteem: Starmer 23%, Kemi Badenoch 24%. Indeed, fewer people actively disapprove of Kemi Badenoch (35%) than disapprove of Farage (41%), but when it comes to positive approval, Farage, on 37%, easily outpaces Kemi Badenoch’s 24%.

41% of people are unsure as to whether they approve or disapprove of Kemi Badenoch, a sure sign that she has made little impression on the public (and it can be seen that what impression she has made is mostly not favourable). By contrast, only 22% of the public are “unsure” about Farage— people either approve or disapprove of him, in almost equal numbers.

People are even more sure about Starmer. Only 17% are “unsure” about him, but 60% disapprove of him.

Quite simple. 14 years of total maladministration and misgovernment finished the Conservative Party with most of the electorate, though 3 out of every 12 voters who voted (3 out of every 20 eligible) still voted Con in 2024 (Labour had 4 out of 20 or 4 out of 12). Most of those Con voters were over 60 years of age, many over 80. They have mostly now gone to Reform UK, and many are expiring daily by reason of old age etc. The next general election may not be until 2029; how many habitual Con voters will have expired by then?

The young (anyone under 30, indeed the vast majority under 40) will not be voting Con. Most of the ethnic minority (rapidly becoming majority) voters prefer Labour or other parties. So who is left?

Once again, the “snake in the grass” here is the Jewish-Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, which has most of the politicians of the two main System parties (and Reform, too, it seems) in its pocket. The (((lobby))) wants many many organizations banned or prosecuted; it wants many individuals prosecuted, too (they have already tried it with me: see below:

Strange that that former Conservative Party tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms (her ex-husband was Conservative Party MP for Poole until 2024; he lost by a mere 18 votes; and she worked for him, paid generously out of her ex-husband’s MP expenses) thinks that (of all people) Yvette Cooper is to be admired. Nein danke! Yvette Cooper is a would-be dictator, very dishonest, a moneygrubber and expenses cheat (as was her husband, Ed Balls), and a “refugees welcome” dimwit to boot! Also, like all of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet —except a few servile Muslims— a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

Short-sighted Con voters in some parts of England have, in the past couple of decades, shown themselves willing, in my view very wrongly, to vote for non-Europeans such as Kemi Badenoch as their constituency MP, so long as the right party label is affixed. Putting promises of low taxation etc above racial or national pride. That has led to the brainless Conservatives imagining that the country as a whole will vote, in effect, for a party led by a non-white MP. Very misguided. Look at Sunak.

True, that was not the only factor that sank the Conservatives at GE2024, but it was one important factor. Sunak was, in that sense, more “electable” than Kemi Badenoch. After all, people look at Indians en masse and see business, at least some organizational skills and, in Sunak’s case, a UK upbringing. Added to that, the vast wealth of his wife’s family and so his own wealth, meaning that, whether rightly or wrongly, he is at least perceived to be “in it” not for personal money reasons. Compare that to Kemi Badenoch, a loudmouth careerist carpetbagger.

Most Brits, not unfairly, look at Nigeria and see chaotic maladministration, corruption even worse than that of India, and nothing at all to admire. Kemi Badenoch was not even brought up in the UK. Her parents made sure that she was born in London, so that (under the law as it then was, in 1980) she could later claim a British passport, but she was only in the UK for a few days before being returned to Nigeria. She lived there and in the USA until at least age 16.

For those who say that Kemi Badenoch is scarcely a typical Nigerian, well, yes. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in effect (not an exact quotation), “the rich are different from you and me; they have more money“.

Yes, Kemi Badenoch is not a typical Nigerian. I have known a few like her, such as the Nigerian princess with whom I was acquainted in the mid/late 1980s, and whose (much older) husband was a Federal High Court judge in Nigeria. However, the basic model is still there, not far under the surface. (if anyone is interested, that Nigerian princess was shot dead in her luxury apartment in Lagos , nearly 30 years ago; Lagos is a rather dangerous place).

I just cannot believe that the British public will vote for a Prime Minister who is a Nigerian woman. The very idea, at least to me, is utterly farcical.

When you add to that her abrasive personality etc, you see how disastrous Kemi Badenoch is for the Conservative Party, which looks increasingly irrelevant.

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

No, don’t resign. Stay in place, dragging down your double salary (MP + ministerial) plus expenses, and making money out of being an exploitative private landlady. That will help to sink Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel government even faster.

Anyone who has had to deal with the chaotic crazy mess called “HMRC” will be familiar with the term “Kafka-esque“. I am glad to say that my interaction with them ceased some 13-14 years ago (in relation to matters now 20-40 years in the past). I found it hard to believe, at the time, that such chaotic maladministration could exist in this country.

[incidentally…internet definitions of “Kafka-esque“:

extremely unpleasant, frightening, and confusing, and similar to situations described in the novels of Franz Kafka: He is caught up in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. The urban landscape is invested with a nightmarish, Kafkaesque bleakness.”

and/or

Synonyms of Kafkaesque:

  • surreal.
  • unusual.
  • irrational.
  • illogical.
  • strange.
  • unreasonable.
  • weird.
  • misleading.

From what I read in newspapers, HMRC has not improved much, if at all, since they decided to engage in dialogue with me 13-18 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Revenue_and_Customs#Controversies

In fact, HMRC reminded me slightly of the 1950 comic novel, The Way Backwards.

Translates to about 414 Reform UK MPs, 94 Labour, 54 LibDems, 37 SNP, Cons 21.

That would be a Commons majority greater than that of Starmer in 2024, and almost as great as that of Blair in 1997. Prior to that, very large majorities were achieved in the early 1930s, in the 1920s, and by Earl Grey’s government of 1832. All times of sweeping change.

Of course, 32% of the popular vote is not huge in historical terms, but is about what Starmer-Labour gathered-in in 2024. It hardly matters that your vote is “only” 32% if your main opponents are getting 20% and 16%.

War is hell, even when unavoidable. May victory attend the forces of Russia in Eastern Ukraine, and be the forerunner of genuine peace.

[“Former heads of the army, police, Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israeli military intelligence issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. They emphasized that this conflict is no longer just and poses a threat to the very identity of Israel, its values, and its international image.“]

I wonder whether the fanatically pro-Israel Jew-Zionists of the UK (etc), such as those malicious abusers of the English legal system, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are listening?

Incidentally, I see that lying perjurer Gideon Falter, the head or figurehead of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was allowed to publish a fairly long opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. The horrible little bastard had the sheer gall to write about the small number of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that they now look like Jews starved in German camps at the end of the Second World War.

That at a time when an Arab Palestinian population in the many hundreds of thousands, including huge numbers of civilians (many of them children), is being deliberately starved to death in Gaza by the (Israeli) Jews, a para-military campaign backed to the hilt by (non-Israeli) Jews such as Falter.

As a matter of fact, I should not be surprised if Falter, effectively an agent of influence of a foreign power, Israel, is not an Israeli passport-holder himself, perhaps a dual Israel/UK passport-holder (maybe even a triple passport-holder (Israel/UK/Austria).

I accept that the hostages in Gaza should be released, but the Palestinians have been pushed to the genocidal brink, and have few chips to play.

Israel should also release its own prisoners, of course. Some of them have also been brutalized and starved.

I once stayed overnight at Mappin’s hotel, a Victorian castle hotel at Tintagel, North Cornwall, the one-time seat of King Arthur. In late 2001; December 2001. It was not really run properly as “an hotel” should be; I believe that, since then, it has been taken in hand by Mappin, the heir to a very considerable fortune (think Mappin & Webb, the jewellers). I just read today that he bought it in 1999.

When I was there, it was hugely atmospheric, like a decayed private castle, an effect emphasized by the fact that my wife and I were the only guests, and the staff, in the evening at least, consisted of a not terribly welcoming middleaged Englishman and his (possibly Austrian) wife. I recall that our rather cold room (I think it may have had a four-poster, and an ancient bar fire set into the wall) cost £200 a night, quite expensive in the money of 24 years ago. Akin maybe to £400+ today.

I well recall, after eating informally at a local pub in the nearby village (no restaurant open then at the Castle), being seated before a Hollywood-film-scale blazing fire in the Great Hall, and being served a double or triple Irish whiskey, the absence of other guests making it seem as if we were in our own home (or castle).

In the morning, a very pleasant and very rickety old retainer-woman served breakfast in a long gallery, her tiny grandchild hanging onto her skirts, as the Cornish winter waves crashed onto the rocks below, as in Rebecca.

Memorable.

I blogged, years ago, about our stay. The Castle once played host to many of the rich and famous, especially in the years before the First World War. Composers such as Arnold Bax, and Elgar (who wrote much of his Second Symphony in the very room in which we were staying): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._2_(Elgar)#Extra-musical_considerations.

I expect it is very different today.

Ah. Just saw their website. Very different today, and much-modernized: https://camelotcastle.com/rooms/.

Good to see that Mappin is awake to at least part of the problem in the UK, but he is so very careful to push the “peaceful” protest idea— writing to MPs, becoming a candidate in elections etc. Yes but no but…

Typical.

I wonder whether the Israelis would allow echt-British/English people to go to Israel, scribble for newspapers, and go onto Israeli TV angrily urging more and more (non-Jewish) migration to Israel. The very idea is, of course, ludicrous, and would be even were those non-Jews born in Israel, which would be almost impossible anyway.

Reality has now been accepted by the vast majority of Ukrainians, and I expect that a majority would now accept Russian rule over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Nearly a year ago

Was just looking at a blog post from nearly a year ago, which (like most of them, if I say so myself) has held up fairly well, I think.

Britain, 2025

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/03/violent-anti-racism-protester-avoids-jail-attacking-police/

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/25119560.post-southport-protester-caroline-leneghan-escapes-jail/

First (relevant) offence:

A left-wing activist who assaulted a man at an immigration demonstration in the wake of the Southport killings has walked free from court, prompting more accusations of a two-tier justice system.

Caroline Leneghan grabbed an iPhone off of victim Dylan Fontaine and smashed it in the ground during a heated exchange at the event in Bournemouth.

The former NHS nurse then physically lunged at him when he attempted to pick it up.

Based on his appearance, Leneghan yelled out that he was a racist and a fascist, inciting others to ‘swarm’ around him and putting him in fear of being attacked.

In fact Mr Fontaine is a white Muslim convert and was at the demonstration in support of asylum seekers.

Despite this and the fact Leneghan has shown no remorse, she walked free with a six month prison sentence suspended for two years.

District Judge Orla Austin said it was only the fact Leneghan was 20 weeks pregnant that she was not going to jail.

[Bournemouth Echo]

Second (relevant) offence:

“Violent anti-racism protester avoids jail for attacking police.

A Left-wing activist has avoided jail for a second time after attacking a police officer.

Caroline Leneghan, 43, assaulted the female officer while being arrested for being drunk and disorderly at a pub in Pokesdown, Dorset, on Dec 27 last year.

Leneghan previously escaped prison for assaulting a man at a migrant hotel protest.

Poole magistrates’ court heard the police van taking Leneghan to the station after the police officer assault had to stop twice because of her violent outbursts in the back.

At one stage, the former NHS nurse slipped out of her handcuffs and was said to have brandished them at the officer like a weapon before being restrained.

After pleading guilty to assaulting an officer, resisting arrest, and the use of threatening language, Leneghan was fined £80 and ordered to pay £100 compensation to the officer she assaulted.

David Finney, prosecuting, told magistrates: “The defendant is alleged to have run towards a security guard to confront them and was described as shouting and screaming, so she was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and handcuffed.”

He added: “The officer said she feared she was going to be assaulted with the handcuffs.”

Juliet Osborne, mitigating, said Leneghan was pregnant and in a “heightened” state outside the pub as her former partner had been racially abused by a group of men.

She said Leneghan had been in “excruciating” pain as the handcuffs had trapped a nerve on her wrist.

Ms Osborne added: “She has reflected on the incident and expresses remorse and regrets the fact that [the police officer] felt she was in danger. It was not her intention to make her feel that way.”

In April, Leneghan walked free with a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years, convicted of assaulting a man at an immigration demonstration in the wake of the Southport killings.

During the rally in the summer of 2025, Leneghan snatched an iPhone from Dylan Fontaine and smashed it on the ground. Leneghan then lunged at Mr Fontaine when he attempted to pick it up.

Leneghan also accused Mr Fontaine of being a racist and a Fascist, incited others to “swarm” around him, and put him in fear of being attacked.

The 43-year-old denied charges of assault and criminal damage but was found guilty.

District Judge Orla Austin said it was because Leneghan was 20 weeks pregnant that she was not going to jail.

Leneghan was ordered to pay Mr Fontaine £300 compensation, £200 court costs and a victim surcharge of £154.

Leneghan’s suspended sentence came after allegations of “two-tier justice” over the way the authorities handle Left-wing versus Right-wing disorder and protest.

Her sentence for the migrant hotel incident was not taken into account during her trial for the police officer assault, because the offence was committed before her April sentencing.

[Daily Telegraph]

Lucky defendant…

In fact, there are several aspects to those two cases involving one (crazed “pisshead” pseudo-political “activist” woman) defendant that make them interesting from the socio-political and legal points of view.

First of all, look at that defendant (presumably of Irish origin at some point). Thank God she is no longer an NHS nurse. I should be interested to see what other previous convictions she has (which would not have been —considered— “relevant” to sentencing). I would be prepared to bet that there were some.

I note that the defendant’s “previous partner” was (claimed to have been) “racially abused“. So non-white, visibly non-Brit/non-European.

No occupation noted for the defendant, so probably an unemployed single mother of a mixed-race child, with the father not en poste except as a drinking partner…

Poor once-great Britain…

I also note that the defendant was drinking heavily at the time of the second offence, despite being pregnant at the time. Not illegal (though it should be), but it says a lot about her. You can see from the newspaper photos that she is what is often termed a “pisshead”, probably without the willpower or inclination to stop drinking during her pregnancy.

Fortunately for her, I was not the sentencing “judge” (magistrate).

[me as London barrister, circa 1992/1993, and looking serious for some reason unknown]

Many, commenting on that defendant’s first conviction, have noted that Lucy Connolly was sentenced last year to over 2 and a half years in prison merely for having tweeted (or similar) that places housing migrant-invaders should be burned to the ground, or that she did not care if that were to happen. Lucy Connolly has two young (white British) daughters, and a husband with serious health problems.

Incidentally, I notice that the district judge who initially sentenced that “antifa” crazie at Poole has an Irish first name, though I doubt that that is relevant.

I myself was quite wrongly tried and convicted (2023) and sentenced (2024) for having allegedly posted a few comments and cartoons online criticizing or mocking (mainly) Jew-Zionists, corrupt MPs, and Israel:

As regular readers will know, I long ago also wrote a blog piece about the link between the “antifa” element, “anti-racism”, and mental illness, as well as the frequently-seen links to Jew-Zionist fanaticism:

It also occurs to me that, once again, a woman police officer was found not to have the strength or controlled aggression necessary in dealing with a very violent offender.

Without the massive amount of Western aid, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) would have collapsed 3 years ago.

At first, people will turn to the electoral system, initially to Reform UK. At first…

Starmer is not only in the wrong job but also strikes me as being an idiot, certainly in terms of geopolitics. Actually, he seems at sea in the legal milieu too. A rather nasty box-ticking file clerk type, given unmerited power for a short time. An Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet, with a Jewish wife, and children being brought up as if fully-Jewish.

Looking at the uselessness of the British police in most circumstances, those prisoners must be the stupid ones…

[“Trump should not prolong the war in Ukraine just to spite Putin The conflict is a tragedy, but further American intervention will only delay the inevitable” The American publication The American Conservative reports that Russia’s victory in Ukraine is a matter of time and that Trump should stop dragging out this process. The article notes that Russia has “sufficient military superiority to achieve its main objectives,” while Ukraine’s hopes of regaining lost territories are described as nothing more than “fantasies” without a “realistic scenario” for success.“]

Russia can and should continue its advance until all Ukraine east of the Dnieper is under Russian rule. Kiev and Odessa should be “free cities” not under direct Russian/Ukrainian rule. Western Ukraine, except for the Black Sea/Sea of Azov littoral and Crimea, can then be an independent but neutral Ukrainian state centred on Lvov.

Even the anti-Russia UK/US msm have given up their former fantasies about Kiev-regime forces advancing on major Russian cities, and even on Moscow and Petersburg. Now, they limit themselves to pretending to think that Russian forces will not make “much” more progress, and that the Russian economy will “collapse”, or a popular uprising unseat Putin.

In reality, the Russian economy is doing at least as well as the EU and UK economies, and Putin, while flawed, is still far more popular in Russia than Starmer-stein is in the UK, or Macron in France, or Merz in Germany, let alone that evil little sprite, Ursula von der Leyen.

The reality behind the proscription is that the Jew-Zionist lobby in the UK wants to ban everything and everyone they perceive as hostile to Jewish or Israeli power and influence. It has nothing to do with real “terrorism” or the like.

People are waking up to “them” now, though.

Wall. Squad. End.

So much for “free speech” in a so-called (once-called) “free country”…

Honourable men, honourable soldiers

I happened to read the Wikipedia piece about Hermann-Eberhard Wildermuth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann-Eberhard_Wildermuth.

On 12 August 1944 Wildermuth became “Fortress Commandant” of Le Havre in France. This came as a disappointment; he had hoped for a corps. Before taking his new command, however, he swore the ‘customary oath’ to Hitler: to defend the fortress to the last man, and only to surrender with the authorisation of his superiors.[3] This oath to Hitler was, broadly speaking, respected by Wildermuth. At his interrogation by the British in January 1945, he stated that his aim had been to deny the Allies the use of the port, and to tie down as many Allied troops as possible, and that this had been achieved to his own satisfaction, since two British infantry divisions and about 150 tanks were assigned to the siege of Le Havre for almost fourteen days. Furthermore, while Wildermuth personally surrendered to British troops on 12 September, after being wounded in the thigh, he refused to order the surrender of the garrison on the ground that as a prisoner of war he no longer had any authority to do so.[4]

Prior to the early September launch of the British-led Operation Astonia to take the port city Wildermuth had requested that French citizens be evacuated before heavy pre-assault naval and air bombardment commenced. His offer was rebuffed by Lt-General John Crocker, in command of the 1st British Corps which had laid siege to the city. Crocker would later argue that if Wildermuth cared about the civilian population, he could have surrendered the garrison before the bombing began, and that acceding to Wildermuth’s request would have served only the German interest, by gaining time and removing potentially disruptive French civilians from the defended fortress.[5]

[Wikipedia]

Another, but far more junior officer, Lieutenant William Douglas-Home (whose elder brother later became a Conservative Party prime minister), was also at Le Havre at the material time:

Despite his opposition to the policy of requiring the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany he was conscripted into the Army in July 1940 and joined the Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment).[7] He went to 161 Officer Cadet Training Unit (161 OCTU) in the buildings of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, where one of his colleagues was David Fraser. At Sandhurst, he was critical of the war, which he said had been unnecessary.[8] Douglas-Home was commissioned in the Buffs in March 1941.[9] While an officer he stood in the three parliamentary by-elections.

Douglas-Home was assigned to the 7th Battalion of the Buffs, which was converted to tanks as the 141 Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (141 RAC). In the Normandy campaign, 141 RAC was assigned to I Corps, a British formation within the First Canadian Army. In August, First Canadian Army was directed to mop up the German forces cut off in various sea ports in Normandy and Pas de Calais. In the first week of September 1944, the Allies moved against the port of Le Havre. A German garrison under Colonel Hermann-Eberhard Wildermuth was dug in on the hill overlooking the city. Wildermuth had been ordered by Hitler to defend Fortress Le Havre to the last man, and not to surrender.

When the Allied forces invested the city in advance of the planned aerial bombardment and subsequent assault, Wildermuth asked the British commander if the French civilians could be evacuated from the city, but that request was refused. Lieutenant (acting Captain) Douglas-Home was near Le Havre, awaiting the completion of the aerial bombardment. He was to serve as a liaison officer in Operation Astonia, the Allied attack on Le Havre. On the second day after the aerial bombardment had started, he learned of the German request to evacuate the civilians and the Allied refusal. The consequences of the bombardment were apparent to the waiting Allied forces and Douglas-Home refused to participate in the attack. He gave two reasons:[citation needed]

  • The unconditional surrender policy, which he thought compelled the enemy to fight to the end.
  • The refusal of civilian evacuation was morally unacceptable to him.

which created a moral obligation for Douglas-Home and he declined to participate.

The aerial bombardment of Le Havre lasted four nights, killed over 2,000 French civilians, 19 German soldiers and levelled the city. The Germans surrendered after two-days’ fighting and I Corps moved on to Boulogne, which was also subjected to a heavy aerial bombardment. At that time Douglas-Home, who had been placed under supervision (he did not consider himself at that time to have been “arrested”) wrote to the Maidenhead Advertiser and the publication of his letter in the newspaper prompted his formal arrest and detention.

Because of the article in the Maidenhead Advertiser, the Allied forces besieging Calais allowed the civilians to be evacuated from the town before it was subjected to a heavy aerial bombardment and final assault. Dunkirk was allowed to remain in German hands, with the besieged force bottled up, until Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945. In the wake of the publication, the British became sensitive to indiscriminate bombing of occupied cities and towns, although that consideration was not extended to towns and cities in Germany.

[Douglas-Home] served 8 months, initially in Wormwood Scrubs, then completing his term in Wakefield Prison.[11]

Captain Andrew Wilson, M.C. also served in 141 RAC. In his autobiography Flame Thrower, published in 1956, he recounts this incident and its consequences. Wilson wrote his story deliberately in the third person:

Even when he sailed with the regiment to Normandy, William had continued his private war-against-war. While headquarters were near Bayeux, he had written to the newspapers about some German ambulances shot up by British fighters. And what he had written was true. Wilson had seen the ambulances, riddled with bullets on the Tilly road.”

Saturday quiz

Well, not so good this week: 3/10 (or 3 “and a third” out of 10 if using the same calculation as political journalist John Rentoul, who claims 2 “and a third”). I knew the answers only to questions 4, 8, and 10 and (like Rentoul) also guessed one word of no. 1. On a few other questions, I came close “but no cigar”…

The policy even fails on its own terms, because of problems of definition and determination.

Good God. Even worse than I had thought. Equivalent to Hiroshima, Dresden etc in WW2. The (Israeli) Jews, as well as (((those))) in the UK, USA etc supporting the devastation/genocide/ethnic cleansing, surely stand guilty of war crimes by any reasonable definition.

Wall. Squad. End.

[“NEW PIECE In my latest essay in @TheSun I ask –what holds a civilisation together? In Ancient Greece, Pericles warned they only survive if leaders maintain the trust of the people In Ancient Rome, Cicero warned states will soon collapse if they don’t put their own people first In Britain today? We are witnessing the very opposite of all this. An out-of-touch ruling class that’s imposing an extreme policy of mass uncontrolled immigration and broken borders on everybody else, prioritising foreigners and pushing its own citizens to openly revolt.”]

Only lunatics are now volunteering to be sent to the crumbling front-lines of the Kiev regime. A death sentence.

…and the half-Jewess and Israeli agent Ghislaine “Maxwell” has apparently been moved from a high-security prison to a “Club Fed” in Texas. Is that the prelude to a Presidential pardon? Looks as if the (((usual))) fix is in.

More about Jew-Zionist fanatic “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, Patron Law, Jewish barrister Beth Grossman etc

A pack of Jews, abusing the English legal system (yet again).

For background about previous Mark Lewis defaults, see also:

Lewis is both incompetent and dishonest. Anyone who employs him as a solicitor (if anyone still does) is an idiot.

Incidentally, and for those unaware of the matter, the above tweets refer mostly to the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor. Wilson, an academic from the North of England, won his case despite a whole battery of Jews giving, in effect, perjured or tainted testimony. The witnesses (all Jews, all Israel fanatics) disbelieved by the trial judge included vituperative barrister Simon Myerson (dismissed, in effect, as part-time judge in 2024, because he was unable or unwilling to stop harassing people online), Daily Star scribbler Adam Cailler, one Joanne Bell (prolific on Twitter/X as “@jobellerina”), and Nathan Comiskey (another keyboard “warrior” for Israel) as well as the defendants.

Pete Newbon, one of the defendants, a sadistic and crazed Israel fanatic who trolled people mercilessly online, as well as committing various (other) crimes (his employer, a university, had already disciplined him for his appalling behaviour), committed suicide during the trial because he had not told his wife that their house was on the line. It appears that Mark Lewis and/or other Jewish lawyers had misled one or more of the defendants as to their downside risk. Dishonest, or simply incompetent? The Solicitors’ Regulation Authority is going to pronounce upon that soon.

Now, it seems that “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (solicitor) and Beth Grossman (Counsel, of Doughty Street Chambers in London) are refusing to disclose evidence about their behaviour during the course of the proceedings. It could lead to serious consequences for them, though Lewis is so washed-up now that it might not make much difference to him. Well, time will tell.

Order must be restored.

[“In case you’re not from the UK, this weekend there are yet more public protests against broken borders and mass immigration —in Islington, Manchester, Newcastle, Cannock, Portsmouth, Southampton. The mainstream media barely report on them. Politicians ignore them. But such is the level of public disillusionment with what is happening to our country that these protests are now becoming a persistent feature of our national life, which in itself shows both how out-of-touch the political system, and how febrile our once unified and stable society, have become.“]

[“Bookmark this tweet. And trust me. What Labour are about to do is approve ALL asylum claims so they can make it look like they are dealing with the backlog, while taking illegal migrants out of hotels and putting them in private housing to try and hide the costs. This is not dealing with the backlog. It will only incentivise many more to come. It will end up being a total disaster, much like their hapless “smash the gangs” strategy which I said in May 2024 would also be a total disaster.“]

As I have been predicting for a couple of years now on the blog…

As if that ridiculous monkey knows anything. Still, for once he is right, probably. The war may continue for another year. The Kiev-regime frontlines may last out that long, but in the end will crumble and collapse. Russia can take and should take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
