Well, a pretty poor week, only 4/10, though that was still enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10.

I knew the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, and 10.

“They” are a horrible tribe.

…and which (((element))), Goodwin, has been behind most of that indoctrination and brainwashing? Yes, “them” (again).

Incidentally, a goodly (and increasing) proportion of the “younger generation” in both France and the UK are really neither French nor British. Non-whites born in France and the UK.

…and her first degree was from the University of Manchester…

If it is “war”, as people of that sort often claim, then in extremis they themselves can be executed in the field (in the streets of Paris).

Talking point

[“The Church has been in schism since the mid twentieth century. People are only now realising it.

There is the Catholic Church, which rose from Sacred Tradition, with the deposit of faith, celebrating the Mass of the Ages.

Then there is the New Order, which sometimes goes by Holocaustianity, replacing Tradition with novelty, so subtly most people do not notice until it is too late. Like a frog in increasingly boiling water. High altars gone, nave tables in, the Sacrifice gets demoted to a Jewish meal. They revert to the passover which was fulfilled in Christ; the Mass of the Ages is suppressed; prayerful posture such as kneeling and receiving communion on the tongue is discouraged; homosexuality and women in positions of leadership is encouraged, by act if not decree; universal language of the Church is replaced with a thousand vernacular dialects; good priests are silenced, their obedience weaponised, whilst bad bishops are promoted, the very ones who push lgbtq; the catechism is infected with just enough vagueness and ambiguity to sow confusion.

The Church cannot change her teaching. Yet, the New Order will be quiet on issues they should speak out on, and vocal on issues they should remain quiet on. The New Order hierarchy uses enough abstractions to make it seem like the Church has “modernised,” where she cannot and should not. From the mass migration of Mohammedans, to the death penalty.

Modernism is the enemy of the Catholic Church, and the fruit of the New Order.

Lefebvre’s warnings were prophetic.“]

A few passing thoughts about Andy Burnham

I happened to see the tweet below, which echoes in a satirical way some of my own views about Burnham:

Many years ago, when Burnham was previously in the lineup to become Labour leader (but failed), I commented that he was the best of an extremely poor bunch. My present views are not very different.

The American self-help guru Anthony Robbins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Robbins] has a phrase, “don’t major in minor things“. Good advice. That, though, is exactly what Burnham has done since having been elevated to the position of Prime Minister. He has majored in minor things.

I see not a lot wrong with at least some of the fairly modest policies announced over the past weeks and months (on car parking, rights for renters, bus fares etc), but —looking at their modest scope— these are relatively minor though certainly (in some cases anyway) welcome reforms.

My concern lies with what Burnham has done or, rather, not done, in the major-policy arena. He has continued (indeed, increased) the funnelling of UK taxpayer monies (actual cash, as well as expensive arms and ammunition etc) to the Kiev regime. He has done nothing to stop the migration-invasion of Britain (the contrary, in fact), and I see nothing of real substance anywhere else, in any area at all.

Those who think that Russia will make concessions by reason of the fact (insofar as it is a fact) that Russia is under economic pressure, misunderstand the Russian character, which at heart is very resilient, very resistant to external pressure, and very much able to take considerable hits (and also able to give some hits…).

A fake state. A non-state.

Like the Norwegian Blue Parrot in a Monty Python sketch, “Ukraine” (of the Kiev regime) is dead, and would fall off its perch were it not nailed to it (in the case of the Kiev regime, by massive transfers of money, arms, ammunition, medical supplies etc from EU states and NATO states).

Of course Zelensky has never wanted peace. His only chance is to drag NATO into the war.

Zelensky and his cabal have stolen billions of dollars of “aid”, have multimillion villas and other property all over the world (Florida, Israel, Caribbean etc), rule without elections or human rights, and are just a dictatorial gang of leeches.

[“While heavily armed and clad in plastic armor, French, Italian, and Belgian gendarmes, police forces, and other Spanish national guards are trying to quell migrant protesters, stylish Dutch police officers are brutally beating residents of a small town in the Netherlands who are protesting the construction of a refugee center.

I myself saw the gradual slide and disintegration of Dutch society from the 1960s, then 1970s and 1980s; I then heard more from Dutch family friends in the 1990s and in more recent years. Very sad, not to say angering.

Not that the UK is any better.

John Mearsheimer, professor at the University of Chicago: “The West has shown that it can endlessly issue declarations of support for Kyiv, but it is unable to create a real economic and military-industrial base, not even for a prolonged artillery conflict.”

“Ukraine is doomed to defeat in any case. Attempts by the West to organize temporary peace negotiations without taking into account the fundamental demands of Moscow are meaningless, because Russia will not agree to a ceasefire in the middle of military operations.“

“Russia is systematically reclaiming territory and will achieve what I previously called a ‘ugly victory.’ This will turn Ukraine into a non-functional stump that will never be able to join NATO. They [the West] don’t want to leave, but they are also unable to win.“]

I prefer my own proposed solution to this geopolitical problem: Russia to keep Crimea, and to keep or take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper; for Russia to keep or take a strip of 50-100 miles north of the Black Sea; Odessa and Kiev to be “open cities” run autonomously. A rump Ukrainian state to be established in Western Ukraine, centred upon Lvov, that state to be independent but constitutionally neutral and unarmed (disarmed).

That officer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Walker] may be a skilled soldier —his record certainly suggests that— but fails to see that, increasingly, there is no “nation” for which to fight, the way things are, and the way things are going. A mixed-race population, and the wealthier part of the society (English, but also many Jews and other non-Brits, meaning non-Brits in any real sense) not interested in the welfare of the majority.

For whom does General Walker think we must fight? The finance-capitalist exploiters? The Jew-Zionist lobby? The buy-to-let parasites? The migrant-invaders and those facilitating the invasion? The corrupt and incompetent “political class”?

Only brainwashed idiots want to fight Russia on any basis, certainly not because the Kiev regime is losing its war.

Likewise, no real British person should have to accept even lower living standards and services because generals without an army want to foment a totally unnecessary war with Russia, a war which Russia —a nuclear power with over 6,000 nuclear weapons— cannot lose.

[“There is no “conversation” to have.

I am a British Army veteran, and I would never fight to the death for this government, its politicians, or their “plans”.

I would, however, absolutely fight to the death defending my home, my family and my country.

And if that means standing on my own doorstep, refusing to be carted off to fight somebody else’s war, then so be it.

Russia is NOT our enemy. The real threat is already here. I, and every other veteran I’ve spoken with, will be staying on home soil, thank you very much.”]

Well said.

“Is Paris burning?”…

The rioters are lucky that Macron and not Millard is President of France. I should order the crowds to be fired upon.

It has been obvious for many years that the NHS, despite its virtues, is simply not up to the job. The migration invasion has pushed the population up from about 55M when I was born (1956) to somewhere around 70M in 2026. That alone has placed huge burdens on the Service. Then you have the general ageing of the population, and also the unhealthy diet and lifestyle of many, including abuse of drugs and alcohol.

Finally…

Trump is all over the place, but Russia must finish off the Zelensky regime in Kiev before the next President is installed in 2029 (after the 2028 election). Russia has only 2 years and a couple of months in which to “clinch the deal” (as Trump might say).

Russia needs a gamechanger, something that will finish off the Kiev regime, and do so completely.

Not “animals“— don’t insult our animal friends. “Untermenschen” is a better description of those rioting in France, and those invading the UK on so-called “small boats”.

Both Macron and Starmer-stein need to face justice. “To each his own“…

Late thought

Amid the trumpeting —for war with Russia— of bought political creatures, bought military top brass, bought msm scribblers and TV talking heads, there is something we, as individuals, can do to fight against the war drums. What is that? It is to “just say no“. What I mean by that is to simply stand as individuals, stand against the entirely unnecessary frenzy.

“What if they held a war and no-one came?” was a question once asked. Well, in my view, the individual can simply say “NO!“, and not vote for warmongering “democratic” political careerists, not agree (if 18-40) to register for any proposed conscription or draft, not appear if ordered to appear for anything to do with that etc.

Some people may decide to do more (I prefer not to specify), and to take individual actions against any mooted war (which would soon leave our poor country as an irradiated wasteland).

Both the wars of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 set the world, and especially Europe, back. A third such war might destroy Europe as a European civilization and culture.

Do not comply and, if you can, do what you can to prevent it.

The migrant-invaders do not usually commit crimes immediately. Most wait until they have been settled (by the treacherous Government and local councils etc) into their new taxpayer-paid-for accommodation (whether hotel or a council property that should be for —real— British people only).

Saturday quiz

This week, political journalist John Rentoul scored one of his rare victories over me: his score was 6/10, mine only 5./10 (and two of those were guesses). My correct answers were numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8.

Talking point

It is rare for me to see the tweets of ex-officer and military-history writer Adrian Weale; even rarer for me to agree with any. Still, credit where due; I saw two yesterday (including 2 retweets) with both of which I agreed…

The first such tweet (and retweet) seen (referring to the effective dismissal of an academic for speaking sense about Jason Arday and similar matters):

See also:

The second tweet (and retweet), which also refers to the Jason Arday nonsense at Cambridge:

[“I think what’s happened is that, for a variety of reasons, the academy has lost the sense of what it is there for, which is to act as the guardian and proponent of best intellectual practice.

Much of that is because of the Gramscian ‘march through the institutions’ which has taken place over the last 80 years or so, which has had a devastating effect. Importing Marxian and Neo-Marxian dogma into the academy was guaranteed to dumb it down catastrophically and has left us, in the social sciences at least, with a self-marking come-as-you-are party for some of the most illiberal, narcissistic, corrupt perverts and weirdos ever to obtain academic tenure.”]

Britain in 2026

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/crime-spree-pensioner-kicked-robbery-37605890

“A sacked care worker broke into his former patients’ homes to rob them and kicked a blind wheelchair user in spate of robberies days after he lost his job.

Ediongseyene Essien broke into the homes of four elderly and disabled victims the day after he was suspended from work, even smashing down the back door of a petrified couple in their 80s to steal their money. Weeks later, Essien pretended to still be another ex-patient’s carer before kicking him to force his way into the home.

Laura Atherton, prosecuting, said the occupant, a wheelchair user and former patient of the defendant, was in bed when Essien gained entry by using a key stored in a coded safe outside the property. He subsequently took the man’s bank card, which was later used to make a series of purchases at Bargain Booze and L7 Village Market in Fairfield.

Earlier that same day, Essien was said to have called at the home of an 88 year old woman and her 85 year old husband, also a wheelchair user, at around 3pm and let himself in before departing. He returned at 9pm and began “ringing the doorbell and waving through the window” before coming back roughly 20 minutes later, at which point he kicked at the back door until he succeeded in smashing a glass pane.

The female occupant was left screaming for help as a result, with Essien having stolen the man’s wallet, which contained £200, before fleeing. In a statement read to the court on her behalf, she described how the ordeal had “completely devastated their lives”. She added: “We welcomed this man into our house and treated him with nothing but kindness and trust. To have this trust betrayed is heartbreaking.

“The feeling of absolute helplessness in that moment was truly awful. My home, which I loved and cherished, is no longer my safe place. Due to our age, disabilities and severe mobility issues, we are unable to leave the house. We are trapped in the very place this trauma occurred. He robbed an elderly couple of their peace, comfort and safety in their final years.”

Essien was arrested in relation to this series of burglaries before being released on bail, after which he turned up at the home of a blind cerebral palsy sufferer in Edge Hill shortly after 2pm on May 15. Having assumed that someone repeatedly pressing his doorbell was one of his carers, the occupant made his way to his front door in his wheelchair before explaining that he had cancelled his scheduled visits for that day.

Essien insisted he had been “sent to check on” the man and proceeded to force his way inside, kicking the victim out of the way as he did so. He then rushed in and took £90 in cash before fleeing the property.

This victim described in his own statement how he had “not slept properly since” and was now “very nervous and anxious”. With his aunt, whom he had previously lived with for 30 years, having passed away in March of this year, he added: “I just hope he doesn’t get away with it. I’m very wary of new carers. I’m scared he will come back.”

At approximately 5pm the same day, Essien then targeted a “highly vulnerable” woman who was “small in stature” as she made her way home after visiting a nearby shop.

He snatched her handbag, which contained £40 in cash and her bank cards, “forcefully pulling it from her grasp” when she attempted to fend him off with her walking stick.

Her shopping bag was torn during the struggle, sending its contents scattering across the pavement. She told the court in her statement: “I’ve lost any independence I had before. I used to go out to the local shop and attend various community activities.

“As a result of this, I’ve felt very anxious at even the thought of going out on my own. I have to ask staff in my supported accommodation to go out to the shop for me. I’m a very vulnerable person. I feel that the person has seen me as an easy target, which is why he’s attacked me. I fear someone will see me as an easy target again.

Essien admitted two counts of robbery, four of burglary and a charge of fraud. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was seen holding his head in his hands before he was jailed for eight years and handed restraining orders which will ban him from contacting his victims for the next decade.“

[defendant]

A useless and in fact dangerous low-IQ parasite, let into the UK by “dirty democratic politicians”, in Hitler’s well-known description.

The judge was told that, upon serving a third of his sentence, the defendant would probably be deported. Maybe so (I wonder, though), but I say don’t send it back to Africa. Put it up against a wall. In public.

We, the ever-dwindling real people of these islands, have to retake control, whatever it takes.

I wonder what today’s equivalent would be. I certainly doubt that reality has much crept in, reading how the trashier parts of the Press (Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Star etc) are enthusiastically advising their (mostly pensioner-) readers about plans to introduce conscription and food rationing by reason of the “Russian threat” (which only exists because UK governments have been provoking Russia since at least 2014 —and, arguably, since 1991).

MAFF was the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food until 2002.

Officialdom , the Westminster monkeyhouse, and the msm in the UK seem to think (or pretend to the public) that fighting a war against Russia (a Russia with ~7,000 nuclear weapons, apart from anything else) and when the UK these days scarcely has an army, navy, or air force, will be a slightly updated version of the Battle of Britain, the Normandy Landings, El Alamein, or even the Western Front circa 1916.

Regular readers of the blog know my views on this: take away Zelensky’s ricebowl, focus on improving relations with Russia, leave NATO, arrange for cost-price gas and maybe oil from Russia, and find in Russia a massive market for UK goods and services (even more so if the EU states and Americans continue to apply punitive sanctions against Russia).

Britain still has a nuclear deterrent with maybe 150 submarine-launched missiles available (altogether), and that (once the Americans are shown the door) can be, for the first time in decades, a truly independent deterrent, akin to the French force de frappe. A backstop. Enough.

[“One evening in the biting winter cold of 2014, I went down to Maidan with my Ukrainian translator and her mother. It was packed, lively like a festival. “What do you think of all this?” My translator asked me as her mother waved a large Ukrianian flag above her head.

“It won’t end well.” I replied.

After covering Libya, Syria, you get to know the political movements that will only lead a country to ruin. An alliance of foreign money, oligarchs and ultra nationalist extremists was clearly in that bracket.

I asked my translators lovely mother why she supported it. She said something along the lines of “Europe is richer than Russia. And I like going on holiday there.” She had little magnets of the places she’d been to on her fridge. London, Paris, Spain. They were sold a dream of a bright European future.

I was there when a statue of Lenin was pulled down in the late evening. With a truck and some chains. Down it fell and people cheered as it shattered on the ground. I picked up a piece. I think I’ve still got it at home. But most Ukrainians didn’t want their statues pulled down. It wasn’t what it was supposed to be about. Or rather it was. But they didn’t know it.

The East rose. Crimea lost. More statues pulled down. And eight years later, the real slaughter began.

The ukrainians I know have already fled abroad. Those who claim to support Ukraine want them to stay and die.

The dream turned to ashes by the inevitable hammer blow of political reality and great nation politics. People manipulated and left for dead for a misplaced chess move on the geopolitical map.

And those who speak sense are silenced. Sometimes fatally. They’ll silence the wise in order to manipulate the politically illiterate. Then give them flags to wave. And nations fall.

Blame whoever you want. But it’s a hell of tragedy. Other nations beware.”]

[“Decisions are not being thought through”

NATO lacks strategic thinking, according to statements made in Europe. The organization is not prepared to take responsibility for the inevitable retaliatory strikes by Russia against Ukraine, believes Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeast Norway.

“What is the point of escalating the conflict by striking Russian civilian infrastructure, when Moscow far surpasses Kyiv in terms of air power, and Ukraine does not even have adequate air defense? These decisions are not being thought through… The NATO elite always goes from euphoria during reckless escalation to crocodile tears when a retaliatory strike is necessary,” he wrote on social media.”]

When I was 18, in 1975, I had a fairly brief correspondence with Colin Jordan. I was hoping that he would support my political emergence; unsurprisingly, in retrospect, he was unwilling. A brave man, to have faced down the mob and the brainwashed in the UK in the decades following the superficially victorious but actually catastrophic end of the Second World War.

As I predicted years ago, the migration invasion which has trashed our country is now going to be increased, but presented as “managed”, “controlled” etc. Migrant applications of all types simply rubberstamped overseas. Ecce! Magically “legal”…

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

As a matter of fact, I hate all mobs and most crowds, even those not composed of untermenschen, and a proper government would suppress the majority of such manifestations.

BBC News

Happened to see a few minutes of BBC News. I was watching the weather forecast. That was the only useful item.

After the weather, several trailers put out by the BBC for its own shows. First, something about Wimbledon, the BBC coverage of which, apparently, is now presented by some black. Then there was something about Hollywood, to be presented by some old Jew.

Then the main news broadcast came on, the headline item being about, not Iran, Ukraine etc, but the World Cup. It seems that the blacks of Team A beat the blacks of Team B.

Nein danke. (switched off).

Incidentally, one of the BBC’s main points in its argument to keep the so-called “licence fee” impost is that the BBC carries no advertising. In fact, the BBC carries a huge amount of advertising, but only for its own shows as well as, at times, government misinformation.

The Bar of England and Wales— a multikulti dustbin

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15964739/barrister-guilty-gang-revenge-attack-shooting.html

“A trailblazing young barrister’s career is in ruins and she is facing years in jail for helping a gangster to avenge an assassination attempt on him.

Samreen Akhtar was considered one of the brightest new barristers on the circuit as she built a profile by speaking out against prejudice suffered by young black and Asian aspiring lawyers.

But her career is now in tatters after she was convicted of using her professional contacts to attack an organised crime gang member who tried to murder a rival gangster in a drugs turf war.

Akhtar, 37, from Huddersfield, is said to have helped career criminal Tabish Ali after he was shot in West Yorkshire.

She had learned the identity of the man who shot Ali – and then conspired with him to track down the gun man – and maim him.

It is not known why she threw away such a promising career at the bar and put her life in danger to help a career criminal, Ali. 

But she was found guilty after a week-long trial at Manchester Crown Court of intentionally encouraging or assisting grievous bodily harm with intent.

The offence which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. She will be sentenced on September 7.“

Casual perusal of the website of the Bar Standards Board will reveal that the majority, even the vast majority (certainly on a per capita basis), of barristers found to have defaulted, are non-Europeans. Most are disbarred, suspended etc for dishonesty of various types.

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I myself was disbarred in 2016 (8 years after I had ceased practice), but not for dishonesty; for honourable political reasons, and only then because a pack of malicious Jews contrived a complaint against me: see

Only real English/British persons should be barristers or, a fortiori, judges. At present, the Bar and Bench are importing the mores of South Asia and Africa into their milieux, along with the alien hordes.

Incidentally, Jews were barred from the Bar until the mid-19thC. Now, there are large numbers of them.

Why on Earth would anyone want to stroll around Oxford these days, let alone live there? I have visited the city a few times over the past year. Ghastly in every way, pretty much. My first visits since the year 2000, when I gave someone a lift from Oxford to Hereford (and my previous visit to Oxford was sometime around 1975, I think, when I visited Blackwell’s bookshop).

Actually, I had the possibility of attending one of the most prestigious colleges there; that was in the 1980s (a kind of backdoor entry, not the usual sort of application), and thus might have taken my degree at Oxford, which would have been a good thing from a careerist point of view at least, but I did not take up the possibility because I (foolishly) wanted to stay in London for personal reasons.

I do not know why some mob of the ignorant and/or brainwashed should follow Peter Hitchens about, but it would not be the first time. “Black Lives Matter” idiots, facemask/vaccine/Covid cretins, “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) me-too partisans. Etc.

Links in with the “de-banking” of many other people, from —briefly— Farage to people without Farage’s connections, support base, or money; I am thinking of, inter alia, Sam Melia, Laura Towler, Mark Collett and (I think also) Nick Griffin at one time.

There are the powers of the State, but there are also the powers of corporate entities such as banks, exercised arbitrarily.

No (real) British citizen, i.e. white “proper” Brit, should have his citizenship revoked, for any reason.

That pathetic yet still quite sinister, and plainly defiant, Scottish lesbianka is full of both malice and, indeed, deceit. Apparently, she never noticed that her husband (I believe, now ex-husband) had bought both a motorhome costing £140,000 and a Jaguar SUV costing over £81,000.

So…Nicola Sturgeon visited her parents-in-law, where the new £140,000 motorhome was apparently parked (I thought it was at least once parked outside her own house, too; maybe not) and she remained, she says, totally unaware of its existence because it was parked alongside and not at the front of their house. Possible, if they live somewhere such as Blenheim Palace; otherwise not…

So, also…did Nicola Sturgeon’s “in-laws” never once mention her husband’s (and therefore also her own) massive, newly-bought, and very expensive motorhome to her? Does that seem even marginally plausible? Not to me. They never politely said “we love your lovely new motorhome” or “where do you think you will visit in your new motorhome?“?

As liars go, Nicola Sturgeon is not very believable.

It amuses me that, in order to seem sober, and not spendthrift or dishonest, the SNP has replaced Nicola Sturgeon with a dull fellow called Swinney, but he looks like a head-in-trough bureaucrat type anyway.

Incidentally, latest news is that Nicola Sturgeon is moving to, or perhaps has already moved to… London. London, England…

The history in that part of the world is amazing, and history is still being made there.

The “Parliamentary road” can only be a part, and probably a minor part, of the social-national revolution, in my view.

[“Been a lot of debate about the Blair article. But strip away all the froth, and it boils down to three key arguments.

a) A quarter of a century after the Iraq War British foreign policy should still be based around the principle of always being prepared to pay the “Blood Price” to maintain our “special relationship” with the United States.

b) Britain needs to reintegrate with the EU. And it can do so by forcing its way back in on our terms. Europe needs us more than we need Europe.

c) Having seen whole regions and communities of working Britain hollowed out economically, socially and culturally by uncontrolled immigration the exercise should now be repeated via uncontrolled and unregulated automation.

It’s insanity. It’s not bold thinking. It’s not provocative thinking. It’s not challenging thinking. It’s absolute, copper bottomed lunacy.“]

Shocking.

Only white English/British persons should be MPs, elected officials, judges, barristers, armed forces officers etc.

A big anniversary is not so far off now— 1933-2033.

[“I am now under investigation for a ‘Racially Aggravated Public Order’ offence following an allegation of ‘Holocaust Denial.’

This is a calculated conflation designed to criminalise my anti-Zionism by falsely framing it as Holocaust denial and ‘antisemitic.’

I have been hesitant to share anything on social media recently, as I am currently navigating the immense weight of an oncology referral. For weeks, I have existed in a state of torturous limbo and psychological paralysis – teetering on the edge while awaiting medical confirmation.

Last night, I was met by police upon disembarking the train from an Oncologist appointment in London. A passenger (who had apparently overheard a conversation I was having with another passenger) reportedly contacted the British Transport Police by text, stating they felt ‘uncomfortable’ because they claim I had allegedly made reference to – and specifically ‘denied’ – the Holocaust.

I will state categorically: I have, for some time, absolutely expressed my deeply held anti-Zionist beliefs in criticism of a nationalist and racist ideology. I continue to draw a clear, vital distinction between Judaism and Zionism.

This is not ‘Holocaust denial.’

As I stated to the police, my own grandfather was Jewish.

We are living in the prophecy. The Orwellian enforcers are no longer fiction. Free speech is dead. Two-tier ‘justice’ is the new standard. And eventually, the hammer falls on everyone. I am living the warning, and have been for 6 years: once you’re in their sights, the cycle is eternal.

That said; I am not, in any capacity, a racist or ‘antisemite.’ I have spent over half a decade relentlessly fighting for truth, justice, peace, and freedom for all people – regardless of faith or race.

While I am drowning in the weight of a constant, killing obligation – a life spent tired, broke, and broken by sacrifices that the system uses to bury me… I still continue the fight.”]

In fact, as blogged for several years, and as repeatedly declared by the courts in England, neither “holocaust” “denial” nor “antisemitism” are crimes in England.

One of the major problems in this country is that the police, particularly at ground level, are often unaware of what the law is, and so what is either lawful or unlawful. On the face of it, the above tale illustrates that.

We saw, in the whole national nonsense-panic of the “Covid” scam of 2020-2022, how the police (infected by the Common Purpose cancer) tended to take it upon themselves to make up laws and make up new powers for themselves, and so attempt to stop people from going for walks, or sit on park benches, or use the roads, or go shopping etc. Some police woodentops even examined people’s supermarket purchases to “check” whether they were “reasonable”! This is not “conspiracy theory”. It happened. It happened in this country. It happened only 4-6 years ago, at that.

At an educated guess, the passenger who called the police in the above story was yet another of the often seen Jew-Zionist troublemakers, one who (as far as one can see from the tweet) did not wait around to say anything in person.

My educated further guess, therefore, is that he/she will never testify in court as to any “anxiety” or whatever that he/she may pretend to have suffered as a result of having eavesdropped on the conversation of others. In any case, as already stated, neither “holocaust” “denial” nor “antisemitism” are, without more, crimes in this country.

It does remind us what sort of semi police state we now live in, though, and what types are behind most of that.

The lady tweeter seems to be under the misapprehension that “holocaust” “denial” and/or “antisemitism” are crimes in England. They are not.

Someone should tell that lady as much, in view of the fact that she, suffering from a diagnosis of possible cancer, is also now suffering by reason of the operation of the present toytown police state made worse by Starmer-stein and his satraps.

[“Are people like myself and @CoviLeaks safe in London where our police chief, Sir Mark Rowley, has meetings with Israeli assets and lobbyists?

@metpoliceuk These two cops showed up at my door this week claiming I had been reported for ‘anti-semitism’ on my ‘Golders Green’ report. They were confused about the whole thing, including whether the person who reported me lived at my address! They didn’t know if the allegation against me was true or not (it wasn’t) but they were still sent out to threaten and intimidate me on my doorstep. They wanted to come in. I said no. In part, because my dog was kicking off at their presence but also because I knew my neighbour’s ring camera would capture the whole thing – and it did. Last night @CoviLeaks was met by a police officer when she exited a train because some a-hole took offence to her zionist-questioning conversation.

@10DowningStreet these are attacks on our free speech on behalf of a foreign state but you can bet your life that the ‘Free Speech Union’ won’t be interested because the man running it – Lord Toby Young – is a director of British Friends of Israel Ltd.

@toadmeister We are a captured nation and this week I will be taking action. I will not be scared into silence.“]

Brava!

Another example, on the face of it, of uninformed police people sent on a mission the aim of which seems to have been socio-political intimidation by “the usual suspects”…

Again, though, there seems to be a background belief that “holocaust” “denial” and/or “antisemitism” are crimes. No. They are not crimes, as such, not in England.

Starmer-stein’s recent pathetic kow-towing to the Jewish/Israel lobby was a blatant attempt to keep his undeserved position as, or posing as, Prime Minister, and to do that he was willing to remove even those few free speech rights left to the people. An evil little bastard.

The present Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is now apparently doing the same at his lower level, so seems to be another enemy of the people.

Looks like not very many turned up, looking also at other tweets. “What if they held a demonstration against ‘antisemitism’ and nobody came?“…so to speak.

GB News Irish reporter-drone talks about “thousands” attending in Whitehall. Looks to me more like hundreds. When you think that Jews in the UK number 250,000-300,000, and that most live in the London and surrounding (Hertfordshire/Essex etc) area, not a very impressive turnout.

One of the few photos showing much of the crowd at that Jew-Zionist demo. Hundreds, yes, thousands, no.

I expect the TV news shows will play along, though, and talk about “thousands“, or even “tens of thousands“…

Out of well over 200,000 Jews even in the London area…

Seems that the Nigerian woman presently “leading” what is left of the Conservative Party was at that Jewish demonstration.

Also, seems that Tice was there. Reform UK was underwhelming even before it became overtly pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby. Now, it is dead for me, except that it has the potential to kill the rigged Con/Lab political system over the next 2-3 years, so I support its rise on that basis. Later, we’ll see.

Buffoon LibDem, Ed Davey, also turned up to pledge allegiance to “them”…

Noticeable that no mainstream political commentators are bothering to tweet about that Jewish demonstration. Underlines how marginal or peripheral it is.

Allison Pearson is a sadly-dim msm drone and scribbler; writes about “free speech“, and whines about having had the police at her door, yet makes common cause with the Jew-Zionist lobby which is behind most of the assault on free speech and freedom of expression in the UK.

…and there we have yet another non-European Reform UK candidate and now office-holder. It feels at times almost as if Reform is “taking the p***”.

That is a complete break with long-standing Tory policy. As for “outperforming”, she suffered catastrophic losses – in my area losing control of 2 county councils and she was beaten in her own backyard meaning she is likey to lose her seat. CCHQ seems unhinged.”]

Labour’s supposed Great White Hope, Burnham, is not even an MP, so if Starmer-stein goes, and a leadership election held so, Burnham will not have the locus standi to contest it. If someone else takes over, then Burnham may find a seat but (unless willing to trigger yet another leadership contest), be unable to become Labour leader prior to the next general election.

There is also the point that, while it is not mandatory to hold a general election merely because a prime minister has stepped down, not to do so gives an impression to the voters of illegitimacy, that the new incumbent is afraid to hold a general election, and that he or she is clinging to an office not fully-legitimately occupied.

The problem for Labour is that, even if Burnham were to be anointed as Leader of Labour, any general election in 2026 would probably still be disastrous for them. Maybe not as disastrous, and leading to maybe 150 MPs rather than the 100 or fewer predicted by present opinion polling, but still pretty poor.

Typical. Former (?) little cocaine-abuser Toby Young, who runs the fake “free speech” org called “Free Speech Union”, suddenly does not want free speech or reportage, or comment, if the speech, reportage, or comment says anything critical (honest, accurate) about the Jews and/or Israel.

Needless to say, Young’s fake free speech org also said not a word to support my free speech, or that of –to take a few examples out of many— Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, Sven Longshanks, Nick Griffin etc.

Toby Young. Hypocrite. Puppet.

Not so much the worship of the Golden Calf as worship of the gold-plated bullshitter…

I can only think of one good thing to say about Angela Rayner: she did not turn up today at the Israel/Jewish lobby protest in Whitehall.

Were I to say what I really think of Starmer-stein —unexpurgated version— I should probably have to endure the boredom of having to interact politely with the ground-level operatives of the new “British” toytown police state, at my door once again, so I leave it to the imagination of the readers of the blog.

If Starmer-stein is replaced, his replacement will face a dilemma— either call a general election to validate the change of Prime Minister, which is not constitutionally “necessary” but is politically necessary, or just hang on until the polling looks better for Labour, which will probably never happen.

The latter must be tempting, but has not worked out well in the past for those in such situations; Sunak, Gordon Brown, James Callaghan etc.

That dilemma is made more difficult by the fact that, on present polling, Labour might well, in a 2026 general election, lose all but a relative handful of MPs (some polls indicate that the survivors might number as few as 37, and few if any polls have Labour with more than 150).

At present, Labour has 403 MPs out of 650. In other words, if a general election were to be called this year, the likelihood is that at least 253, and possibly 366, would lose their seats.

Basic Income is one necessity or at least near-necessity.

Well said.

I once sat there, outside, about 35 years ago, with my first wife. Perhaps 1991. It was around 1700 hrs. Two besuited French office workers (I presume) strolled past, glanced at us and one remarked to the other something about “les deux magots” (with hard “g“, too..). Neither of us having more than basic French, we wondered whether they were referring to us, and as “the two maggots”, but the name of the place refers to two Oriental figurines (something akin to “Magi”).

“The world is not without kind people” [Russian proverb]

Someone once told me that she had known a former doorman at a block of expensive flats where many politicians lived (I think probably in the 1950s, but possibly in the 1930s). According to that report, the good tippers were mainly Conservative MPs, the poor ones mainly Labour Party ones (and Oswald Mosley).

The relative generosity was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the view that Conservative MPs regarded relative poverty as inherent in society, so to be ameliorated by personal charity now and then, whereas socialists and other radicals regarded what was important as the changing of society so that poverty no longer existed, ergo tipping the relatively poor, or giving to them, was only a distraction from the real task.

I mention it out of interest, though I concede that it cannot be given much weight, in view of the fact that I cannot identify the original reporter, or at all verify the report content. Interesting, though.

Oh, dear…someone’s (still) in trouble. Starmer-stein.

Scribblers and talking heads such as Dan Hodges always think such figures are terribly important. They are not, because any “growth” benefit, unless explosive, benefit goes, almost entirely, to about 1%, and certainly not more than 5%, of the population; any fall, unless catastrophic, scarcely affects the 95% of the population.

Starmer-stein is desperate not to appoint a man because of any further hidden sex scandals, so has appointed, or is about to appoint a woman, one who apparently has no sex scandals but is a money-obsessed careerist office bully (incidentally, she married one of her former bosses in the private sector…).
