Diary Blog, 22 June 2025, including thoughts about London, and about the “entitled” attitude of the Americans

Morning music

London. England. UK.

“All these things happened to me in London today I paid nearly £30 for a train ticket to take me into London from a town just 30 miles away —on a Saturday

The first person I sat next to, I think from India, decided to have a FaceTime conversation with his friend on speakerphone so we all had to listen to it

The train was late by 40 minutes due to unexplained “signalling issues”. It was also filthy.

I paid nearly £8 for a pint

I offered a woman my seat on the tube without realising she was with a man who intervened and said “no man”. He was not from the UK. I think he took my gesture as an insult.

I was asked for money by homeless people 3 times in one day

I noticed several people who are paid to give information to taxpayers and tourists over the tannoy on the London Tube cannot speak English properly

A cabbie told me “London is dead most nights”, unless you are the global high net worth set or top 1%

Restaurants are visibly struggling and often hideously overpriced

I had dinner in a neighbourhood where the average rent is £3,663 per month while half of all local social housing has gone to people who were not even born in the UK

I was constantly aware I should not get my phone out on the street as 80,000 were stolen last year

I also read on the way back while checking that stat that there were 90,000 shoplifting offences in London last year, up 54%

My train back —delayed—was suddenly changed at the last minute with all passengers on board.

They were told it would no longer be stopping at all stops.

I bought a tin of instant coffee on the way home and it had a security tag on it

Maybe I’m in a bad mood and perhaps it’s amusing to think how somebody of my political outlook is “triggered” but to me there is a deeper point here

London is over —it’s so over

It’s a city in visible decline with deteriorating standards and no real sense of identity or belonging

Going in and out of our capital city is a truly miserable experience

Infrastructure is falling apart, as is the social contract

I’ve been coming in and out of London since 1981

I simply cannot remember a time when it’s been this visibly dire and when so many things just do not work as they should”

[Matt Goodwin]

That rather echoes a blog post I published almost exactly three years ago:

Of course, the migrant-invaders see nothing the matter with London as it now is, because where they come from is worse yet. They are from Bombay and Bangalore, the slums of teeming South Asian and East Asian cities, the ramshackle neighbourhoods of Lagos or Accra, or wherever.

Look at London’s Mayor, Sadiq Khan, a Muslim apostate carpetbagger in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist lobby. He himself is part of the problem, but only part.

I am very glad that I have not lived in London since 1998 (though I did live in Higher Denham, just outside London, for 6 months in 2001-2002, and worked at that time as international lawyer in London, both at Gray’s Inn, where I was leaseholder of a set of chambers, and just off Berkeley Square in Mayfair).

Ironically, my later disbarment (2016) was pronounced (by a superannuated former circuit judge chairing a 5-member panel) in the very same building where I had sat as notional “Head of Chambers” (it was actually an offshore set-up dealing with Russia, former Soviet Union, Caribbean, Brazil etc, not ordinary English Bar work), and leaseholder.

If I were to live in London today, I should probably have my Rolex watches stolen. In fact, I no longer have them anyway (sold many years ago for reasons of financial pressure, i.e. I needed the money!).

Even were I to hit the Euromillions lottery, and so be able to live in a Nash terrace at Regent’s Park, I doubt that I should bother.

“…Either way, suddenly alone in the centre of a city I no longer recognised, I couldn’t have felt more vulnerable.

I resolved to find a police officer, but despite walking up and down some of London’s busiest central areas – down Jermyn Street, along Piccadilly and over to Leicester Square – I saw none.

West End Central police station, which would have been a ten-minute walk away, had closed permanently in 2021 after being sold to developers for a reported £50 million. 

No wonder opportunistic crimes like these are on the rise when bobbies have all but abandoned their beats.

Giving up, I headed home, walking the three miles to my flat in Kensington because I had no cards with which to pay for a bus or taxi. 

Dazed and shattered, and with the pain in my leg only growing, I took a breather in Hyde Park to register the crime on my phone using the Met’s online form.

The next day I received a call to say that officers from Hammersmith police station would come to take a statement from me at 8am the following morning. 

But at the time they were due to arrive, they rang to say they couldn’t come because they couldn’t find an available police car.

Really? The station is barely a half-hour walk away. Disappointed, I had to make do with discussing it over the phone with the officer instead. Such muggings were, he said, ‘rife’ in the capital at the moment.

He asked if I wanted to take it any further and, honestly, I didn’t. The pointlessness of reporting a crime so long after the event is infuriating – it’s a tick-box exercise, nothing more. 

The chances of the police catching a gang with my vague description of their clothes and ethnicity must be almost nil.

Ultimately, pursuing a report would mean me enduring a bureaucratic hurdle – filling in more forms online, having more phone calls. And for what?

All of this could have been avoided if there were more police on our streets, which would serve as a deterrent to these thugs. It’s futile having a police force at all in London if they can’t adequately react to something like this.

[Daily Mail]

Actually, 90% or more of “all this” could also be avoided if London were a white English city…

Of course, what will happen is that the existing System parties will falter and fail, but Reform UK itself will become a System party in the end, if it looks like taking power. You can already see signs of that— the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby influence, the non-European candidates etc.

All the same, this is a great thing. The Overton Window is shifting, visibly. After Reform, there may emerge, may have to emerge, a genuinely social-national party or movement. However, the “Parliamentary road” is a limited option, because the English/British will soon be a minority in the UK.

If anything, those predictions are conservative.

As I said 9 years ago, a squawking parrot in a golden cage, guarded by a phalanx of Zionist Jews…

Trump had the chance to take American in a new and better, and quasi-isolationist, direction. Now, the Deep State, largely under Jew/Zionist/Israeli control, has made Trump just the latest figurehead puppet for “intervention”, following Bush snr, Clinton, Bush jnr, “ex-tra-ord-in-ary” Obama (the one-time “great white black mixed-race hope”), and Biden.

I was also well ahead of Matt Goodwin on that…

(from over 6 years ago, and citing Daily Telegraph articles ).

Will Russia strike Israel? If so, where? Dimona? Ben-Gurion Airport? I doubt that that will happen, but it just might, now that the USA dog has been wagged (again) by the Jewish tail.

She forgot to add that Tugendhat is himself quarter-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat#Early_life_and_education; also, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel.

The United States, even more than Israel, has an entitled “I can bomb you but don’t you bomb me” attitude. I well recall the scalded reaction in the USA when the World Trade Center attack happened in 2001. That only happened to other people (who, many Americans think, are scarcely people at all)…

I think that that attitude goes back at least to the Second World War, when the U.S. bombing campaign in Europe laid waste huge areas not only of Germany but of several other countries as well. At that time, there was no danger at all of any country retaliating against the U.S. mainland or its population. A feeling of invulnerability.

Farage is almost pathologically pro-Jewish lobby, and pro-Israel. That is my biggest black mark for Reform UK, and supports the theory that Reform is being lined-up to take over when the main System parties finally fall, which cannot be far off.

Ecce the Nigerian woman who will soon (next general election) be “leader” of a Conservative Party with as few as 10 MPs. I imagine, though, that her MPs will dump her by the end of this year.

The premium for being slavishly pro-Israel is not high when the leaders of “Labour” and Reform UK, maybe the LibDems too, are no different.

If so, it might have been better to say that the base was totally wiped out!

Were I the Iranian decision-maker, I should make that airport a really major priority target, along with the Dimona nuclear base. After that, central Tel Aviv.

[“The takeoff locations of the aircraft involved in the attack on nuclear facilities have been identified. The US must expect a regrettable reaction that exceeds its calculations. Having several US bases in the region is not a strength, but a vulnerability. Attacks on Israel will continue.”]

Hotels much the same. I was due to speak back in 1978 at the Clarendon Court Hotel, Little Venice. Jews connected with the pathetic Searchlight mag, now defunct, contacted the hotel management (the same kind of malicious harassment now undertaken by the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” cabal). As a result, the Clarendon cancelled, and I had to pay out for a coach to bus people who arrived there to my new venue, a large room with a bar over a pub somewhere near the river, not far from Dolphin Square.

As to the Clarendon Court Hotel, which had once been a fairly good place (foreign Test cricket teams playing at quite-nearby Lord’s would stay there in the 1970s), the last time I saw it, around 1990 or so, it was full of…yes… “asylum-seekers”, East European Gypsies etc. Yes, that’s right…35 years ago! That crap did not start in 2024, or 2010, or even 1997.

Incidentally, the Clarendon once had an amusing notice outside, relating to its spa studio: “The Body Feminine— Entrance at Rear“!

Ah. Just looked it up. The building has evidently been extensively remodelled, and is selling as multi-million-pound apartments, like the rest of London (even the old SIS/MI6 building, Century House, at 100 Westminster Bridge Road, near Lambeth North underground, is now “luxury” apartments).

I also just saw this 1992 report about that hotel: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/231279.stm: the hotel was forced to pay £6,000 apiece —maybe £20,000 each in 2025 money— to some bloody Afghans and others “forced to endure cockroaches” (etc) there… Cockroaches. Well, that would certainly never have happened back in Afghanistan…

[“Unfollowing as many Jewish pundits today as I followed in support after 7/10. If you’re tweeting “Islamo leftie tears” you’re off your rocker & deeply offensive. It’s not even a left or right thing to object or agree with strikes on Iran and America barrelling in with 6 Enola Gays.

You’re also displaying Islamophobia whilst constantly bleating about anti-semitism. I’m no leftie, I was a Tory until I had enough of the crazy far-right lean and a succession of appalling leaders. I’m a Zionist, my 22 yo father helped liberate Belsen and still talked of it on his death-bed. I have a Star of David in my bio since 7/10 as a tiny gesture of support for Jews even though I’m C of E. What more do you want from people like me? What?! Your blind support of Israel no matter what, even as babies in Gaza are blown to bits and everyone starves is crackers. Enough.

You bring it entirely on yourselves. You actively goad & insult people on here. You insult the very people who believe in Israel and have always supported it just not when it goes mental which is very regularly under Netanyahu. Lots of Israelis hate him too. I have no time for the ghastly Hamas, Mullah, Houthi and Hezbollah fans who go on marches but dear god the Jews who back Trump & Netanyahu are a loud & aggressive disgrace. And when Eylon Levy talks of the Blitz or Dunkirk – it’s an insult.

You bombed Iran, you got bombed back, you seem to want all of us to be bombed, bugger off!“]

Ha. Brava!

I had thought that lady tweeter must be at least partly-Jewish. Seems that I was probably mistaken in thinking so.

She is talking, inter alia, about the kind of aggressive and malicious Zionist Jews prominent on Twitter etc, such as those connected with the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, Jews such as Gideon Falter, “Slitherman”, and “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, among other liars.

There I do disagree. The “British” Jews who are those, or most of those, being repatriated, are probably hard-core Zionists anyway. I have already blogged that, if they love Israel so much, let them hunker down with a pack of matzo biscuits, an Uzi, and a Desert Eagle, and fight. Why should they be rescued at all? If they are going to be, why should the British taxpayers subsidize them? Most probably have plenty of money, too.

Horrific, and on a Biblical scale. The (Israeli) Jews have done that, and others, in the USA, UK, France etc, support what the Israeli government has done and what it continues to do.

Lewis poses, increasingly without credibility, as an effective solicitor, but he has been making false accusations to police etc for *at least* 13 years: see

and

Others of the same type, such as Simon Myerson (Jew barrister who had to be removed as part-time judge because of his hate-filled tweets etc), Daily Star scribbler Adam Cailler, and others, had their sworn testimony disbelieved by a senior judge at Wilson’s successful libel trial. All members or supporters of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and all liars and quite possibly perjurers.

Incidentally, the sworn testimony of the “CAA” Chairman, Gideon Falter, was also disbelieved by another judge and at another trial, years ago, the successful appeal of Foreign Office diplomat Rowan Laxton.

I have had, as many readers will know, my own problems over the past 12 years and arising from lying accusations made by Lewis, “Slitherman”, and some old Jewish “CAA” crones from North London.

No wonder one of the Ten Commandments brought down by Moses was “Thou shalt not bear false witness“— it is what “they” do.

What I look upon with “horror” is, inter alia, the fact that only someone such as Elon Musk, someone outside the jurisdiction of the poundland police state that Britain has become and/or is becoming, can speak out on a number of very important issues, such as —only one example— the Pakistani-origin “community” conspiracies to rape young English girls.

I have never agreed with everything Katie Hopkins has said, but she does make me laugh.

I once met the Metropolitan of Kiev (the second-ranked Orthodox dignitary after the Patriarch of Moscow). About 40 or 42 years ago, when he visited London. He gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka. A rather clever/cunning man, but quite benign, I thought. Small, with a huge —and especially long— beard that he tucked into his overcoat, like a scarf.

A search has been launched after a man slashed multiple train seats with a knife in broad daylight. The incident took place at around 3pm on Monday, September 23 on a train between Erith and London Bridge.

British Transport Police have since been investigating a man in possession of an offensive weapon and the serious public order offence.

Take a look at that photo. Is there any point keeping such a “person” in our society? Useless even as forced labour.

We have to accept that we need to upgrade the population in order to evolve the society, or even maintain it as it is. Much of the London population, indeed the UK population, now degrades society just by existing.

This Greenland thing (the USA potentially going to annex the territory) may (if it ever happens) drive a wedge between the USA on the one hand, and the EU states (and European members of NATO) on the other. That would be a very good thing. NATO might even fall apart, enabling all of Europe to develop closer links with Russia.

How much of all that, though, has been caused or made far worse by the invasion of the UK by “migrants” (migrant-invaders)? An invasion which, by the way, has been fully supported and encouraged by Jewish-lobby puppet Yvette Cooper.

Her predecessors as Home Secretary were no better, as seen below— weird Israel fanatic Sajid Javid:

I was last at Sacre Coeur about 30 years ago. Despite it being only a 19thC building (completed in the 20thC— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacr%C3%A9-C%C5%93ur,_Paris), for me it has or had a unique atmosphere, and one not experienced (by me, at least) at the much more ancient (12th-13thC) Notre-Dame de Paris [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_Paris].

That atmosphere may be due to the fact that a Roman Catholic mass is perpetually celebrated at Sacre-Coeur: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacr%C3%A9-C%C5%93ur,_Paris#Role_in_Catholicism.

[Sacre-Coeur]
[View of Paris from the Basilica of Sacre Coeur]
[Notre-Dame de Paris]

Living conditions in 1940s Paris were certainly austere at times, at least for some, but life went on, e.g. under German military occupation:

[Paris in 1941: an unarmed Wehrmacht soldier relaxedly chats with a stylish Parisienne on the terrace by the Trocadero Gardens, beneath the Palais de Chaillot, and across the river from the Champ de Mars and Eiffel Tower]
[Palais de Chaillot and Jardins du Trocadero, Paris 16-ieme]

In 1970, and 1971, Paris was distinctively not only French but also specifically Parisian. By the 1980s, and especially 1990s, I noticed that it had become less so, more a “convergence” Euro-metropolis. Now? God knows. From what I hear and read, a multikulti nightmare, at least in part and in parts.

Quelle surprise…

Regular readers will know that I have blogged recently about the fact that Starmer-Labour has no real mandate. The electoral system of the UK has been broken beyond easy repair.

At GE 2024, out of every 20 people eligible to vote, and in very rough terms, 8 did not vote at all, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

That is Starmer’s and Labour’s mandate— 4 out of 20. For pedants, arguably, 4 out of 12. Not much of a mandate either way.

Saturday quiz

Well, 9/10 this week, trumping John Rentoul’s 5 and a half. The only answer I definitely did not know was that to question no. 1. I admit that I “educated-guessed” several, though.

The 2024 Olympics

Not everyone was happy when the Olympic Games were resurrected from the vaults of classical history. Rudolf Steiner, for one, did not like the idea, the form it took and, I think, the aesthetics of what was re-invented.

The modern Games have little in common with what existed over 2,300 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Ancient_Olympics.

The sports have varied over the years. Tug-o-War was once a recognized Olympic sport, for example, and I personally cannot accept several of the present-day sports as real sports. Synchronized swimming and equestrian dressage, to name but two.

To my mind, the main damage was done when the Olympic Games became a competition among nations rather than among individuals. I suppose that the idea was to mirror the original Games, in which Greek villages and city-states sent representative athletes.

The Games developed from an early amateur and folksy festival to a peak of aesthetics at the 1936 Games in Berlin, but since then the whole thing has become an international corporate Schauspiel with little reality.

Thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire” Lammy:

I don’t care if Lammy has half a dozen tick-box “degrees” or diplomas. I prefer to look at the real person. Just listen to that ignorant [REDACTED]…

Also, it is clear that Lammy cannot think on his feet. Perhaps that is why he never worked as a practising barrister. In fact, I think that he never was actually in practice at the Bar at all, just did a few months as a kind of “diversity”-hire gopher and/or intern at a law firm in California, then a year doing the same thing in London at a different firm. That year or two together constitute the only non-political work Lammy has ever done, when aged about 26, before he latched onto the old MP racket (like so many other useless wastes of space).

Exactly as I predicted would happen. Instead of a highly-visible armada of “small boats” across the Channel, UK “vetting centres” in mainland Europe will rubberstamp 90% of all applicants.

The rest will either be deterred or, more likely, will still try their luck at crossing illegally, but of course the visual and public relations impact will be diminished— 50 a day instead of 500, but with the other 450 coming in “legally”.

Straight treachery.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of bastard progeny of Blair’s trickery.

Incidentally, you can see there what a nest of evil exists in the “British” mainstream media (of which Talk TV would be part, if anyone actually watched it). Most scribblers and talking heads in this country are enemies of the future of the British people.

However, Lewis has no real property or other assets in the jurisdiction, and is based in the home of so many other frauds— Israel.

Not sure that I agree that the policeman who kicked one compliant suspect in the head and then stamped on the suspect’s head did behave “appropriately“, bearing in mind that the suspect was still, was lying face down, and was presenting no risk.

That two-stage action, the kick and the stamping, can be separated from the main fight, because the recipient of the attacking police actions was effectively a prisoner and not fighting when he was kicked and stamped upon.

Of course it is easy to pass judgment after the event, but that is what has to happen— cool judgment later, whether in a court or tribunal, or in the court of public opinion.

I think that those were “flashbangs”, not grenades as such.

Where was Matt Goodwin when Jez Turner was imprisoned merely for saying that Jews should be deported from the UK? Where was Goodwin when Alison Chabloz was imprisoned for creating and posting a few amusing cartoons and songs about Jewish behaviour? Indeed, where was Goodwin when I was prosecuted last year for allegedly having posted “grossly offensive” remarks and cartoons on this blog? Nowhere, that’s where Goodwin (a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish lobby) was…and is.

There’s something wrong with a system which not only promotes people such as Beth Rigby (who has a speech impediment…yet is on TV and radio for a living), but pays them hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.

The astonishing victory by the Right tonight in the first round of the French general election where Le Pen’s National Rally received 34.5% trouncing the Left alliance ( 29%) and destroying Macron ( 20%) augurs well for Nigel Farage and Reform. I suspect our voters will no longer believe a vote for Reform is wasted vote. They will view it as a chance to change the political narrative once and for all just as it’s doing in France. Anything could happen on Thursday.”

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

Must be the first time I have ever agreed with Kelvin MacKenzie.

That is my feeling, “unscientific” or not.

Huge numbers of people are getting desperate for social-national change. Reform UK is only halfway —if that— there, but it is a start, a start which can smash the “two main parties” scam, change the dynamics of UK politics (if it does well enough on Thursday), and move the “Overton Window”, or at least start to move it.

I suspect that many will say “**** it!” and put their crosses next to Reform UK on Thursday, as a last-minute decision. I may be wrong, but that is my feeling anyway.

Would Sunak raise a crowd that big? That is not even a question. 10, yes, 100, doubtful. 5,000? Ha ha…

What about Starmer? Maybe a few hundred (organized by the Labour machine)…maybe.

Whatever the voters want now, it is not the hopeless and ridiculous Conservative Party; not really Labour either, or the LibDems. They will profit only by default.

Who are the 10% or maybe 15% still voting Con? Must be lifelong unthinking habit-voters, mostly those in extreme old age, in my view.

Frankly, I doubt whether the Cons will even get to 20% in this General Election.

Damn. This week I was, for once, beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 8/10; I scored 7/10, and did not know the answers to questions 3, 8, and 9 (in fact, I should also have got no. 9 right, but I had forgotten about his existence).

Sam Melia and Laura Towler

[Laura Towler with her husband, Sam Melia, and their little child; another is expected within weeks, while Melia is in prison]

Most readers will know the facts of the case: Sam Melia sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years, of which he will probably have to serve 8-12 months, while Laura Towler struggles with her child —soon, two children— everyday life, her house (she may have a mortgage, I do not know), and her small business. Therefore, a crowdfunder was set up to help her at such a time of crisis. That fund has now reached, at time of writing, £58,972, and still rising. Excellent.

https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia

The monies raised will go towards helping the couple survive the year ahead, and get them back on their feet after Melia is released. In addition, no doubt a small part of the money will be directed to helping him while he remains in prison.

Anyone can send modest sums to those in prison, via an official programme, using a debit card: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. To use that service, you need the prisoner’s name, his official prison number, and his date of birth. I have no idea of the date of birth of Sam Melia, but Laura Towler, Mark Collett, or Patriotic Alternative would be able to supply it (I am myself unacquainted with the couple, or Patriotic Alternative people, so have no contact details).

Message about Sam Melia from Laura Towler

Laura Towler has posted a message about her husband’s present situation:

We can now write letters to Sam

I’ve just spoken to Sam. He is in HMP Leeds. He won’t be staying there for the whole of his sentence but it might take a while for him to move. He’s safe and has made friends. He’s been exercising and reading a lot. He says the worst thing (other than missing us) is that it’s quite boring, although the library is pretty good. He said he would appreciate letters from people to help pass the time. Please don’t get too political or the letter won’t get through.

I know I have posted about Sam a lot over the last few days but here are the addresses for Sven Longshanks and James Costello who are both serving time for the same public order offence as Sam. Sven will be out this summer hopefully but Costello still has over two years of his sentence left to serve, so he needs us the most.

It’s sometimes difficult to think about things to write as you can’t get too political but they are both intelligent men with an interest in history, literature and culture. They might appreciate a poem you like, information about what’s happening on the outside, or even just a message to say you are thinking about them and they are missed.

Details below for both James Allchurch (“Sven Longshanks”), and James Costello.

Incidentally, many imagine that I just hate Israel and anything to do with it. Not so, as such. I like some of the Israeli town planning, and the efforts made to green the cities and towns; also, I like some of the modern architecture, and some of the agricultural, horticultural and hydrological techniques and projects (irrigation, de-salinization etc).

By the same token, I have only limited respect for many of the Arabs of the wider region (I have been to Egypt, Qatar etc several times, and, in the past, had occasional dealings with Kuwaitis and other types, as well as a few visits to Tunisia).

However, the Jews should never have been allowed or encouraged to take over Palestine and turn it into the state of Israel, and their brutal repression of the Arab inhabitants (including mass killings, deportations, and other “ethnic cleansing”) has been, in effect, a 76+ year war crime.

Macron discussed with French politicians a possible French invasion of Ukraine.

The leader of the French Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, told reporters that the topic was raised at a meeting between the president and the heads of political parties.

According to him, Macron allowed the entry of French troops into Ukraine if the Russian Armed Forces break through towards Odessa or Kyiv.

“There are no restrictions and no red lines,” concluded Jordan Bardella (National Rally). “I arrived excited and left even more worried,” concluded La France insoumise coordinator Manuel Bompard,” writes L’Indépendant.

Also in Paris, they are now discussing issuing permission for French special forces to cross the Ukrainian border, to create a “strategic dilemma” before the Russian Federation. And French Foreign Minister Sejournet said that Kyiv has not yet asked Paris to send troops, but “nothing cannot be ruled out in the coming months.”

Ha ha! What’s that? Revenge for Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow, 212 years on? Madness.

I shall be sorry to see Paris destroyed, if it comes to that, even though it has become largely a poubelle (rubbish bin). France may have its force de frappe (independent nuclear deterrent), but if it ever uses it, Paris and all other major French cities will be annihilated.

The French discussions, though, do seem to give the lie to the outpourings of Grant Shapps and others. Macron is obviously not expecting a Kiev-regime advance in 2024; au contraire… he expects Russian advances upon Kiev and Odessa. So do I, though whether they will be in 2024 or 2025 (after the US and UK elections this year) is an open question.

God. Biden is in a world of his own. He really is gone…

In respect of the Israeli war crimes in Gaza as well.

Also, people from poorer countries outside Europe can live off small amounts of food-money, because they are accustomed to making their money stretch. I have had to do it myself a few times in the past, but it seems to come naturally to those such as a Nigerian girl I met in the 1980s, when she was a tenant of someone I knew. She would go to the street market a mile or so away in Peckham (South London), buy rice or potato by the sack, cook it with some hot spices and sauce etc, maybe add some small amount of protein, or not even that, and bingo…dinner served.

In fact, I seem to recall the same was true of a West Indian girl, another tenant of the same landlord, and also in the 1980s. She had been sacked for theft by her employer, the wife of an MI5 officer (she denied that she had stolen anything, but was sacked anyway), and was another one with basically no, or very little, cash.

I myself am not naturally a thrifty person, but I have blogged in the past about how I have had a few (in the American word) “hardscrabble” times in my life. You adapt, one way or another…

Last week, I told you about the Labour Party’s plan to import divisive, America-style culture wars into Britain —how the party plans to hardwire a toxic woke ideology into our civil service, schools, universities, and prevailing culture.

This week, I’m going to tell you how Labour also plan to make their political and cultural revolution permanent —by taking power out of the hands of the elected government in Westminster, out of the hands of the masses, and giving it to unaccountable quangos and civil servants you will never be able to vote out of power.

The present “Conservative” Government has to be removed, and the Con Party stamped on, but Labour under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is going to impose an “elected” dictatorship. It will be all but impossible to change that path by the usual Parliamentary/electoral methods.

The SNP is led by a Pakistani Muslim. Scottish Labour is also led by a Pakistani Muslim. What is strange is that Muslims only comprise 1.4% of the population of Scotland (about 75,000 out of 5.4M), yet two out of the three main System parties in Scotland have Muslim leaders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland#Population.

I favoured Brexit, but saw that it was (deliberately) mishandled from the start. A journalist in 2017 visited the civil service office that was meant to be planning for a smooth withdrawal, only to find it shut. That says it all.

“We are where we are”, in the commonly-heard phrase. For me, Britain’s main strategic move must be to withdraw from NATO before some lunatic starts a Third World War, and at the same time to pursue an independent course combined with a close friendship with the Russian Federation.

Russia can supply us with oil and gas at cheap rates, maybe even cost-price or below. It could save us.

Yet those mild anxious or protesting tweets have led to a flood of Twitter/X “woke” idiocy, as in the tweet below by one Andy Walsh:

Ignorance posing as wisdom…

Money, in vast amounts, wasted on the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic, on no-hope stuff such as “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), money wasted on Israel and the UK Jewish lobby, huge sums expended on the upkeep and health of millions of migrant-invader parasites, money in even greater amounts wasted on a largely-useless State educational system. Further vast sums spent on pointless “Defence” hardware.

As Goodwin says, all spent without much real benefit to the majority of UK residents, especially the real British.

As said earlier and previously, I shall be sorry to see Paris turned into a wasteland of irradiated ash, even if in recent years it has become rather a poubelle

It looks more and more to me that there must come a time when, in the words of Nietzsche, there will have to be “a revaluation of all values“…whatever it takes.

We, eg in the UK, are now living in a largely alien and hostile culture.

The Conservative Party— a completely useless and clueless party, whose MPs are almost all just incredibly self-serving, and almost all incredibly stupid. On top of that, 80% of them belong to Conservative Friends of Israel.

Not that the Labour Party is hugely better. The only thing to do, for voters at the 2024 General Election, is to try to destabilize the fake binary system by making sure that at least one major party (i.e. the Con Party) crashes and burns, even at the expense of having to endure, for a while, a kind of elected dictatorship under Labour idiots.

I think that most voters, even former Con Party voters, have now written off the Conservative Party, and will not vote for it. Many, though, will never vote Labour either. It is an open question how many will simply abstain. Somehow I think, at the GE, not so many. They may seek out protest votes. Reform UK is plainly controlled opposition and pro-Israel etc, but will probably get a much higher vote than many are predicting; certainly 10%, possibly 15%, and I would not completely rule out 20%, depending on events.

Only a social-national movement can save our society, but at present it does not exist in any serious or hard-hitting way.

Hundreds of young Jews go to Israel from the UK every year on special courses. Most are trained in the use of weapons; some are trained with explosives. So when they return to the UK, what are they?

Mere numbers are only the starting-point. The vital point is, if there is a massive nuclear exchange between, mainly, the USA and Russia, what happens? One of today’s warheads probably does almost as much damage as two, or ten, or more, if all hit more or less the same place.

Obviously, were there to be such an exchange, the USA, as a functioning state, would more or less cease to exist. The same is true of Russia. As for the UK, it might be wiped out not only as a state, but as a nation (taking it still to be a nation), because of the small geographic size of the UK as compared to the two major nuclear powers.

The real “net” figure is even higher at present, closer to 600,000.

Historical note

I was just reading something about the 18thC German mystic and writer, Novalis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novalis], better known in Central Europe than in the UK.

I saw this on Wikipedia:

While at Jena, he published his first poem and befriended the playwright and fellow poet Friedrich Schiller. In Leipzig, he then met Friedrich Schlegel, becoming lifetime friends. Novalis completed his law degree in 1794 at the age of 22. He then worked as a legal assistant in Tennstedt immediately after graduating. There, he met Sophie von Kühn. The following year Novalis and Sophie became secretly engaged. Sophie became severely ill soon after the engagement and died just after her 15th birthday. Sophie’s early death had a life-long impact on Novalis and his writing.”

Also, re that girl:

Although Novalis’s love for Sophie has assumed mythic proportions, their time together was short and uneventful. The two met on 17 November 1794 when Novalis was twenty-two and Sophie was only twelve. They became engaged on Sophie’s thirteenth birthday 17 March 1795. Sophie became sick in November 1795, and her sickness continued until her death at the age of 15 in March 1797.”

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_von_K%C3%BChn]

I suppose that the average person today in the UK would be appalled at her young age when engaged, but the Wikipedia piece makes it fairly obvious that the relationship was kept on an idealized or romantic-spiritual level.

When I saw it again, in 1978, it was still OK. I did not see Paris again until 1990. Already its character had changed in many ways, mostly negatively. I was not there again, in the city itself, until about 2008. The rot had really set in…

Rapists could be spared jail from next week as prisons reach breaking point, it was reported last night.

Sex offenders and burglars could be let out on bail rather than handed an immediate custodial sentence, according to guidance issued to judges.

The most dangerous criminals will reportedly have to be held in magistrates’ court cells if they are remanded in custody.

Prisons in England and Wales are on the brink of maximum capacity, with 88,016 inmates last Friday – leaving just 650 spaces spare.

The senior presiding judge for England and Wales, Lord Edis, ordered that sentencing hearings will have to be postponed from Monday, The Times reported.”

[Daily Mail].

There has been a sentencing crisis for years. While many crimes of drunken violence, acquisitive crime etc attract, quite often, non-custodial sentences, other crimes, often very minor, not only result in prison time but in very considerable time.

Look at the political realm. Harmless teenage fantasists who have downloaded online material such as the notorious Anarchist’s Cookbook (which was sold openly in London bookshops in the 1970s, and without the State imploding) have been sentenced to terms of 4, 5, even 7 years, incredibly. Anything (political or otherwise) involving illicit possession of a weapon (even a WW2 revolver) has attracted sentencing as severe, or more severe.

Likewise, there have been sentenced to prison people such as Alison Chabloz (sentenced to a number of months for posting “antisemitic” satirical songs and cartoons online), Jez Turner (a year, for having suggested in a brief speech in Whitehall that Jews should be driven out from England as they were under Edward I in the 14th Century), and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch, sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years for having posted “antisemitic” material on an internet radio station).

The alert reader will have noted the common factor in the immediately-above three Draconian sentences, but what do you expect when 10 Downing Street has the Israeli flag projected onto its facade? Or when Keir Starmer, posing as Labour Party leader, thinks that the Israeli ethnostate has every right to cut off water, food, and electricity (and everything else) from the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.

As far as non-political crimes are concerned, one often sees newspaper reports these days about various types of criminal sentenced to, say, terms of 4, 5, or 6 years in prison, when a far shorter term of, say, a couple of years would really suffice. Likewise, people are sometimes —in fact, often— sentenced to a year or more in circumstances where, even retaining a custodial element, a few months would be more than enough.

At the present time, the crisis of available space would easily be solved if judges were to work out carefully, as they are supposed to do, the proper sentence in every case, but then, after all that, cut off a percentage, as an emergency administrative-judicial measure. Say 20%, so that a headline sentence of 5 years becomes one of 4 years, or one of 2.5 years becomes one of 2 years. That would scarcely impact anything other than space in prisons and, within a few months, would start to solve the present problem.

Captain Sir Tom Moore‘s daughter has confessed to pocketing £800,000 from books written by the NHS fundraising war veteran.

In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed how the family received the money thanks to her father – whose lockdown walks raised £39million for the nation’s health service.

Mrs Ingram-Moore said her father wanted them to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.

The family is also adamant that people buying the books were never told their money was going to charity. 

However, the prologue of his autobiography calls this claim into question and suggests the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to raise cash. 

The extract read: ‘Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.’

[Daily Mail].

I was in the minority of sceptics when the old ex-officer (he spent 6 years in uniform during WW2) started his “crusade”. While arguably wrongheaded, one had to respect the grit of the old fellow, yet the whole thing played into the “scamdemic” propaganda of the time, and even the £30M raised probably did little to help the maladministered NHS.

I could see that the daughter and her husband were basically a pair of freeloaders, if not outright frauds, but people so badly (and rightly) want to believe. In something. In anything. You only have to look at the well-known online “grifters” and frauds around. “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of them. They destroy trust in society, as do some of the family of the late Captain Moore.

Were the atrocities not so terrible, it would be funny to see the UK Jewish/Israel lobby all both pushing out (identical) Israeli propaganda and —at the same time— saying, when asked about the quasi-genocidal Israeli Gaza siege, and mass murder of Gazan civilians, “oh, no, that has nothing to do with us; we bear no responsibility” and “we are just opposed to antisemitism, the actions of Israel are nothing to do with our campaigning in the UK...”.

In the wake of the merciless assault by Hamas, Israel seems to be planning the same approach.

All the signs are that its government is preparing to retaliate on a massive scale, mobilising the country’s formidable armed forces against Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared: ‘What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate for generations.’

His defence minister Yoav Gallant has added: ‘We are fighting human animals – and we act accordingly.

Yet just as Iraq turned out to be a calamitous error, fuelling a lasting cycle of violence, so I fear that – however understandable – any attempt by Israel to exact its vengeance with a savage display of military might could be just as disastrous.”

“…a full invasion, such as Israel’s generals are surely discussing today, would be a bloody quagmire. For Jerusalem, it would mean a conveyor belt of tired soldiers fighting day and night, resupplying with food, water and military hardware, rotating and evacuating casualties, for months on end.

It would chew up thousands of troops for little or no benefit, and poison the Arab world, and to a certain extent the international community, against the Jewish state.

Alas, it looks like Israel is set to take precisely this route.

Already the country has launched a barrage of air strikes, causing heavy civilian casualties – unsurprising given that more than two million people are living in a strip the size of the Isle of Wight.” [in fact, smaller than the Isle of Wight— 141 sq. miles as against 148].

This bombardment has been buttressed by a siege designed to weaken the morale of the citizenry by cutting off their water and electricity.

Yet what is the ultimate objective? What does ‘victory’ for Israel even look like?”

It would be even more interesting were Israel to face attack or, even more so, invasion from the directions of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and perhaps even (though even less likely) from Egypt, and if the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were also to join in the fight.

The immediately-above scenario is unlikely, true, but the Americans must have some reason to have moved one of their fleets closer to the region.

If such a concerted invasion and uprising were to happen, though, Israel could be destroyed, its population fleeing in panic.

Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.”

Human rights” expert; you couldn’t make it up…

As I mentioned yesterday, the “human rights” lawyers (often Jewish, though she herself is not) seem to have gone AWOL now that Israel is involved…

If, as voter, you vote Labour now, you get moneygrubbing tools of Israel such as Emily Thornberry (and Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, and Keir Starmer). Why bother?

Emily Thornberry, “human rights” lawyer (etc), who thinks it justifiable for Israel to cut off water and food (etc) from 2 million people, almost all of whom (about 96%) are non-combatants, half of whom are under-18, and hundreds of thousands of whom are young or very young children.

I used to wonder what Israeli Intelligence had on Murray to make him the unashamed propagandist for Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby that he is. Now, I tend to think that he is just deeply psychologically damaged.

As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, I think (am unsure) that she is part-Jewish. She is certainly rather ignorant; I had to correct her on a couple of legal points when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018). Instead of thanking me for schooling her, she tried to obfuscate, and then blocked me.

Murray is right with his “flare” metaphor, though. These events have shown what group really pulls the strings of our “democratic” political parties, and System politicians. With a tiny number of honourable exceptions, all puppets of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby. From Sunak to Starmer, and from Emily Thornberry to that fraudulent bastard Nigel Farage.

The war in Ukraine continues, but the Kiev regime now has to play second fiddle to the Israeli regime.

The Kiev regime is toast, and Zelensky is already looking like yesterday’s man.

As often seen in the past, Israel getting its “defence” in first…

Syria and Lebanon, and Jordan and Egypt, should all do everything they can to defend themselves.

BREAKING: Israel bombed the international airports of Aleppo and Damascus in Syria, forcing them out of service. Bombing civilian airports in Syria. Massacring entire families in Gaza. Dropping white phosphorus on Lebanon and Gaza. This is the Israel that Western media tells you is a “victim”…”

Well, there you have it…

Macron is completely in the pocket of the Jewish lobby, which is very powerful in France. Paris has even more Jews than London. I blogged about weird Macron nearly 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

Zelensky is worried because the help of Western allies is weakening The Ukrainian authorities want to get a new series of weapons in order to attack Russian positions after the unsuccessful summer counter-offensive, “ABC” writes. “Ukraine is desperate for more weapons to help its troops take over the positions of Russian units before the ground on the front turns muddy,” the newspaper said. According to the media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday, as Kiev is becoming worried about the weakening of aid from the West, which until recently provided constant support to the Ukrainian armed forces.”

Don’t forget the “out-stations” of Zionism across the world.

Battles past

Thought for the Day

I see that the “BBC presenter” story is still rolling. A couple of things strike me about the story and also about the reaction to it.

Firstly, the sheer hysteria. It seems that the girl involved was 17 at the time, assuming that there is any substance to the story. It is one of the oddities of the English law at present (as I understand it— I admit to being not very au fait with it now, having not practised at the Bar since 2008) that the unnamed BBC presenter could actually have had full sexual relations with the girl (or any girl of 17, or indeed 16) without being in peril of the law, yet if he paid for nude photographs of her (even though she may have taken them herself, and willingly) he might actually be at risk of imprisonment: see https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/jul/09/bbc-presenter-accused-of-paying-teenager-for-photos-could-face-jail-term-if-guilty.

To my mind, this makes a mockery of the law. The “photographs” law should surely be in line with the law on sexual relations, and so the age reduced to 16 years.

I am unsure about whether a “photographs” law of that kind was or is necessary at all, or if it is, whether the relevant age should be 16 or lower, as with some provisions of, eg, the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and the Sexual Offences Act 1956.

The Protection of Children Act 1978, the present “photographs” law, does not (as far as I know) specify an age, but refers only to “children“.

This was never the kind of law I did when at the Bar, so I may be out of my depth on the detail here but, to my mind, that 1978 “photographs” law (which I have never read in full) seems to be on the face of it yet another badly-drafted law of the past half-century. There are several others, including the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and the Communications Act 2003, s. 127. Both of those have been superseded or are about to be superseded by newer laws.

I find it strange that the 1978 “photographs” law was thought to be necessary at all. It was brought in 20 years before the Internet was widely available for public use and, after all, photography itself has been around for about 200 years if you include its earlier modern manifestations such as the daguerrotype. Photographs as such have certainly existed since the 1860s, yet only in 1978 did Parliament consider that such a penal law was desirable, or at all necessary. Very odd.

Leaving all that aside, there seems to be a strange dissonance now— UK and general Western society almost eliminating real childhood and/or childhood “innocence”, and yet going mad if someone, especially anyone famous (such as George Osborne), has sexual relations, even if completely lawfully (in Osborne’s case, that is disputed), with a teenage girl of 16 or 17, or if such a person (as alleged of the unnamed BBC presenter) pays a girl of 16 or 17 for some risque photographs.

Well, there it is. To my mind, this “BBC presenter” story is a bit of a storm in a teacup anyway, looking at the challenges our country and society face at present. There are bigger issues.

The other aspect which I find striking about the “BBC presenter” story is that the unnamed defaulter has such a high level of income that he can, and apparently is willing to, pay out £35,000 for photographs of some girl.

The BBC gets almost all of its money from the outdated tax misleadingly called a “licence fee”. Radio licences, dog licences etc have passed into history, but the BBC licence fee marches on. Not only that, but enforced by criminal sanction. There are many people (mostly women) actually in prison because of having not had a TV licence, and then unable or unwilling to comply with the order of a court: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tv-licence-fee-women-convictions-b1763192.html.

Out of the huge revenues thus raised, the BBC pays its staff well, often very well, and in some cases far too well. Gary Lineker, that loudmouth ignoramus, is paid a million a year to shoot the breeze about football. Alan Shearer, another ex-footballer, gets about half a million. Zoe Ball apparently gets about a million. A number are getting around £400,000. Looking at them, most are, frankly, overpaid.

Why should the public subsidize what is increasingly, “Soviet” TV and radio output, largely unwatchable and unlistenable?

My final thought about this nonsense is that George Osborne must be loving it. The notorious email about his own peccadilloes is now already all but forgotten. I suppose, though, that despite his former, though fairly brief, political prominence, Osborne is now yesterday’s news…just not very interesting to most people.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/11/900000-older-people-ae-lack-of-nhs-care-at-home

It’s deeply worrying that many older people are ending up in hospital due to lack of the right sort of services in the community. No one wants to be in hospital but for older people all too often it can lead to an avoidable deterioration in their health,” said Caroline Abrahams, Age UK’s charity director.

Prof Adam Gordon, the president of the British Geriatrics Society, said the report “makes grim reading [and] rightly identifies that older people are currently being let down by NHS and social care services”.”

[The Guardian]

This has been a scandal (and a massive waste of money) for years, certainly since 2010 and probably long before. No care at home means more demand at hospitals. District nurses were once ubiquitous; now they seem hardly to exist at all. I was told by one, a decade ago, that she was fed up with NHS mismanagement, and so was emigrating to Australia, where she would also be paid far more.

As with so many areas of life in England, Government and Opposition talk a good game, but fail to deliver for the people.

Nearly 10,000 small-boat migrants who reached Britain in the past four months were last night handed an ‘amnesty’ from the Government’s tough new immigration measures.

More treachery.

10,000 more deadbeats, criminals, potential terrorists, and/or useless millstones round the neck of the British people.

However bad and (at best) useless Starmer-Labour will be, this “Conservative” Party misgovernment really has failed on every metric. It has to go, and I hope that almost all of its MPs will be dumped by the voters. Then a new fight will begin, against the “Labour” version of the System…

Migration invasion.

Terrible, particularly in France, the UK, Spain, but also in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium and, oddly, Bulgaria.

Migration-invasion does not only mean small boats crossing the Channel, but also “legal” migration and, often forgotten, “invasion by births”.

Having encountered a couple of Dutch doctors, this does not at all surprise me…

Well, there it is. The Poles are sensible after all…

and “Labour”, under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, will be saying, in effect, “vote for us…we can make workhouses run more efficiently, and more fairly, and with full implementation of any anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-LGBTQXYZ measures you can imagine“…

…yet System talking heads on TV and radio worry that British people now hate “their” MPs, and are always asking why…

Late tweets

I recommend tweeter @wayotworld.

2%, though? Surely that (((group))) is more like 0.5% of the population?

A horrible woman, and completely out of her depth when Prime Minister. I suspect part-Jewish. She strengthened the bad law of Communications Act 2003, s.127 by introducing a 3-year longstop limitation period in place of the formerly-existing 6-month one, which change has emboldened evil little cabals such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, which use “lawfare” (abuse of our legal and justice systems) to repress British people.

If that is a genuine photograph, it is really telling.

Look at that old Jewess kowtowing.

Maybe, as with Biden, those telephones have reached the end of their normal-functioning life.

Unless NATO forces join in the war (as the Zelensky cabal wants), the Kiev regime has no prospect even of recovering Donetsk and Lugansk regions, let alone Crimea.

If NATO forces were to join in the war, directly, a major conflagration would start across Central and Eastern Europe, maybe even into Western Europe. It might then go nuclear.

One picture is worth a thousand words“…
