Ha ha! Complete rabble.

Re. Labour’s recent supposed “stunning victory” in the recent Hamilton by-election (Scottish Parliament): when you look at the figures, Labour won but with only 31.6% of the vote. The SNP vote fell markedly (unsurprisingly) to 29.4%, and Reform UK, which had not previously put up a candidate in the constituency, came in a close third, with 26.1%; all three main candidates were within a band of 1,400 votes.

The Conservative Party got only 6%, a huge fall from its previous vote, and the six other candidates (including the LibDem) lost their deposits.

This was a pretty good performance by Reform. They may well succeed next time. Until now, Scotland has been a barren field for broadly British nationalist parties, so the result is an interesting straw in the wind.

Tel Aviv, the Ben-Gurion Airport, and Dimona, the “unholy trinity” of obvious strategic targets.

Maybe they could spare a couple for Ra’anana…

Talking point

That Jew is an Israeli government minister. Openly says what most of his co-conspirators do not— that Israeli policy is genocidal, i.e. either to wipe out the Palestinian Arab population in Gaza, or to “resettle” them in concentration camps. Wait a minute…where have I heard something similar to that before?…about 90 years ago, in Europe…but back then, much of the population affected was able to leave, and go to Palestine, the UK, the USA, Australia, South Africa etc, and in many cases with considerable stolen or otherwise “acquired” monies and gold etc.

“They” always think like terrorists. They always target the civilian population of any country.

Well, if (as claimed by Israel) Iran is within days of building a viable nuclear weapon, now is the time to use it. What is happening is all-out war, initiated by Israel.

Starmer-stein…

Social workers in the UK are often dim, malicious, “anti-racist”, anti-British, pro-immigration wastes of space and/or mediocre Common Purpose drones.

(((Maitlis))). Every. Single. Time.

I happened to see a biographical/interview feature by joke-journalist scribbler Zoe Williams in the Guardian. Interminable and very boring, and I did not finish it, but I had a feeling about the subject of the interview, one “Miranda July”. Sure enough, and as I intuited. Her real name is Grossinger. Half-Jewish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_July#Early_life.

Hard to decide whether Rachel Reeves (“Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations”) is the most horrible member of this evil “elected” dictatorship, or not. Maybe Yvette Cooper is worse; about the same, I think (and both belong to Labour Friends of Israel).

Ha.

Steer clear. In an ideal world, the Islamists and Jewish Zionists would destroy each other, leaving the white European post-Aryan peoples to rule over the rest.

I might agree with part of that, but he is wrong to say Israelis are “white“; a few are, most are not. Question of definition.

The Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby voice has spoken, and set its craven puppets to repeat.

Mel Stride, a System mediocrity whose time has come. Now that the mortally-wounded Conservative Party is dying, and is headed by a Nigerian carpetbagger woman, and now that any Con MPs of any weight have disappeared, out comes Stride to pose as Shadow Chancellor and probable successor to the Nigerian. He may not have quite grasped that, even if his plan works, he will then be heading a party which will, by 2028 or 2029, have only a few dozen MPs; maybe only one or two dozen.

Mel Stride is what happens when statesmen, and even ordinary but credible politicians, no longer exist.

Ha ha. Very funny. Thinks that if she persistently cries and demands, her wishes will be met. Let’s hope not. (not that I had ever heard of her).

Found this about her: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13476757/streamer-natalie-reynolds-dares-homeless-woman-jump-lake-stunt.html. Would be nice if something unpleasant were to happen to her; in the meantime, losing her Tik-Tok income will do.

Unsurprising, bearing in mind that the Israelis seem to have bankrolled and protected the ISIS barbarians and their allies in the past.

Starmer-stein wasting British taxpayer monies, and putting British pilots etc at risk, for the sake of helping the Jewish state, which has murdered our soldiers and civilians in the past, and whose supporters exploit the British people now.

Yes, that was a long time ago (mid-1940s) but is more recent than whatever the Germans are alleged to have done to Jews in the early 1940s, and about which Jewish and Israeli organizations (and Israel itself) are still constantly whining.

Ha ha! I recall blogging many years ago, maybe 2017 or 2018, that, were I to vote in a swimsuit competition, Penny Mordaunt might get my vote, but not in any other context.

If the “British citizens” are Jews in Israel, many of whom have dual nationality, and who are usually fanatical Jew-Zionists, then let them stay there, pack a Desert Eagle, and take their chances.

As for moral coward and ex-MP Ellwood, who killed a neighbour’s cat while driving his car carelessly, but failed even to stop, he of course is one of the worst NWO/ZOG political puppets. He was also an expenses cheat. At least one of his parents worked in a diplomatic/intelligence role, and he himself, though reaching only the rank of captain in the (Regular) Army, is now a Lt.-Col. or maybe full Colonel in the sinister online/propaganda Reserves unit, the 77th Brigade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Ellwood; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77th_Brigade_(United_Kingdom).

Ellwood is absolutely idiotic in terms of his preferred field— geopolitics. If anyone were to listen to him, we should be fighting Russia, China, and much of the Arab/Muslim world, simultaneously.

Starmer-stein has to be removed.

There probably are very stupid people who support Labour, and who think that Starmer-Labour is the same party once headed by Attlee, Harold Wilson etc. Not really. What now exists is a kind of “System Party” with several heads, one of which is “Labour”. Listen to Starmer. He sounds much more like a Conservative Party prime minister than anything approaching what, in the past, sounded like a Labour one.

Interesting name. “Metreveli” (“v” not “w”) is a Georgian surname. Wonder what is her background. “Florence” (her middle name) is, I think (subject to correction), a rather old-fashioned English name. My own maternal grandmother was Florence Eva [+ surname].

Seems that the new SIS Chief at one time anyway lived in Pimlico (quite convenient for the HQs of both MI5 and MI6/SIS).

47 years old (48 in July), and read Anthropology at Pembroke College, Cambridge. That must have been in the late 1990s.

At first, it seemed as though the Israelis were going to have a depressingly easy time in this conflict. Now, though, an outlier thought comes to mind…could this be the beginning of the end for Israel?

Oil prices will probably continue to rise, placing Russia in a good position economically and thus militarily. As for the Kiev regime, “blackbird, bye bye“…

Diary Blog, 8 September 2020, including further assessment of Extinction Rebellion, as well as notes about Tim Crosland and “Plan B” etc

Extinction Rebellion

An Extinction Rebellion fanatic called Dim Crosland (not really: it was Tim Crosland) was on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme. A complete would-be dictator or neo-Stalinist zealot. I looked him up on Google, only to find that this robotic idiot was supposedly a barrister in practice at one time (if so, presumably not for long; he sounded completely inflexible), and was more recently a legal bod at the National Crime Agency, which shocked me. Is that really the kind of person that Agency employs?

I thought that this person warranted further investigation.

In fact, Crosland’s Linked In profile, while mentioning the “barrister” bit, does not note specifically that he actually has the qualification, or when he attained it—assuming that he did— but only that he has a degree in Latin and Greek literature and philosophy (“Greats”, in the traditional name) from Oxford, followed by a Master’s degree taken 8-9 years later at Utrecht University (Netherlands): https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tim-crosland-b2ab9594

[Tim Crosland]

In fact, that Linked In profile is lacking other basic details, such as where Crosland attended school at the secondary level.

Crosland acquired his main degree at Oxford, 1988-1992. His Master’s degree was granted by Utrecht University in 2001, after one year. 8 years are therefore missing.

Crosland is next heard of in 2012, where he was apparently the Chair of the “Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative” [“CCI”]. So there are another 11 years missing.

Crosland seems to have specialized in “cybercrime”, having spent 2 years and 2 months at CCI, which in fact looks like a very limited typical international quango paper-shuffling exercise: https://www.securityskeptic.com/CCI%20Quick%20Guide.pdf

Looks like nothing much of a concrete nature was done.

Crosland’s time at CCI overlapped with his time (18 months only) at the National Crime Agency, which ended in March 2015. The two jobs together add up to only 2 years and 9 months.

Crosland then spent 9-10 months at “COP-21”, part of the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference.

Since the end of 2015, Crosland has been Director of a registered charity called Plan B, which describes itself as “...a registered charity, supporting and advancing strategic legal action to contain dangerous climate change and ocean acidification.”

Also: “Plan B. Earth (“Plan B”) combines mobilisation with strategic litigation to hold governments and others to account for their responsibilities to prevent climate breakdown. In particular Plan B aims to promote compliance with the Paris Agreement temperature limit, beyond which, according to the best available science, the risks of catastrophe are intolerable.”

Plan B’s website: https://planb.earth/about/

Details of “Plan B” are held by the Charity Commission. It seems that Plan B, in the financial year 2018-2019, had an income of some £41,000, while expenditure was £58,000. The previous year, the figures were rather higher: income £101,000 and expenditure £72,000 (approx).

Purposes of the charity: General charitable purposes“. “Who the charity helps: The General Public/mankind.” Unenlightening.

Plan B is based in a townhouse in Walworth, London, equidistant from Vauxhall and Camberwell. The property is estimated to be valued at well over a million pounds: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property/62-sutherland-square/london/se17-3el/21109546.

There is no indication anywhere, that I have seen, as to what Tim Crosland was doing in his 19 “lost years”, as mentioned here above. He seems too driven and zealous to have been lying on beaches or scuba-diving for such an amount of time. So what was he doing? Also, though talk of money may be vulgar, on what was he living?

I have been unable to find any trace of Tim Crosland’s work at the practising Bar. That does not mean that he was not practising at the Bar. Indeed, it may be that that is exactly what he was doing in those “lost” 19 years. All I am saying is that I have been so far unable to find any trace.

It may be that, as with some other Extinction Rebellion leaders (Crosland was apparently a co-founder), he has private means, a trust fund, or whatever, and so does not require a salary. Certainly a couple of years or so working as an employed lawyer is not going to have paid very much, and “Plan B” does not pay much, if anything (I should imagine that it pays nothing), as its Charity Commission details show.

I see references to Crosland here and there as “barrister” (but mostly in newspapers), also as “former government lawyer” etc, but no details of where or when he was in private practice (if he was), and no details of any reported cases (i.e. appeal cases). Certainly he is not now on the Barristers’ Register.

When I saw his photos, I suspected that Crosland is a Jew. He is. Jewish News reported thus in 2018: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/why-im-flying-to-tell-the-un-were-waking-up-to-climate-change/.

I have blogged previously about Extinction Rebellion and its tendencies (once you get past the weird street theatre and the pretty girls dancing etc) to both tyranny and terrorism. It seems that at least a few MPs, newspapers etc are waking up to this now (I blogged about all this a year or so ago): https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/the-extinction-rebellion-levellers/; and https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/10/09/extinction-rebellion-greta-thunberg-cressida-dick-and-the-madness-of-protesting-crowds/.

Conclusion

I feel that I am still missing something here, something revolving around those 19 (possibly) “lost” years.

Strange fact

While looking up a few things for this blog (for the above piece), I happened to see on Wikipedia that the 1960s/1970s Cabinet minister, Tony Crosland (no relation, as far as I know), a noted lothario of his day, had (earlier) actually had an affair with, of all people, Roy Jenkins! I had no idea! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Jenkins#Marriage_and_personal_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Crosland#Personal_life

Britain’s new toytown police state. How long before the “caring sharing” multikulti society opens camps for dissidents? If people don’t start fighting soon, they will become complete serfs and/or prisoners of a totalitarian state of evil.

The tweeter above, however, is quite mistaken to imagine that the Gestapo wasted their time like that (it was a rather small though efficient organization which mostly followed up reports from the public about potential spies and dissidents).

My own suggestion would be quite different and quite possibly “unlawful”…

Quite. On a related theme, most British people despise the Extinction Rebellion idiots, but at the same time I should guess that most feel not much sympathy for the newspapers temporarily shut down; nor for their scribblers, who are mostly System drones anyway.

It is becoming obvious to many more people than heretofore that the absurd “rules” restricting people “because of” the virus (scare) are just that— absurd. I happened to visit a small Tesco Express (in a village/suburb) today for about 5 minutes. More people were not masked than were masked.

Boris-idiot and the clowns comprising the present Cabinet are incompetent, but I myself think that that is not by any means the whole story. The “virus” scare is a global phenomenon tied in with the NWO etc.

When you see news like that below, you know that this is a mind-control and social control exercise designed to test procedures that will be repeated in more serious ways at a later date. The powers of Evil are behind this, ultimately.

Answer: no.

This is Kafka-esque!

Update, 9 September 2020

Guido Fawkes comments: https://order-order.com/people/tim-crosland/

Readers may have noticed that a naive commentator in the Comments section of this blog has told me that I was “patently antisemitic” for calling Crosland a Jew (even though he is, in ethnic terms, even if he is —I am told— philosophically an atheist). My blog article cites a Jew writing in Jewish News, which Jew described Crosland as “a Jewish barrister“.

So if I call someone a Jew (who is a Jew), my words are “antisemitic”, but if a Jew (writing in Jewish News) calls that same person a Jew, then that is not “antisemitic”!

Goebbels said this on the general subject:

This is the full Today Programme interview:

I have to say, thinking of the rather “exercized” commentator in my Comments section, that his remarks seem rather lacking in logic in places. He seems to know this Crosland person, but did not give much more information of a concrete nature, beyond confirming some of my speculations.

If, as that commentator strongly implied, Crosland was doing work of a very sensitive nature in the USA or UK for many years, work so secret that not even a general idea can be put on Linked In, then why have a Linked In profile at all, if so much is, and obviously is, omitted?

Also, why is Crosland’s ordinary work as a barrister in the past not on Linked In?That cannot be “secret”, surely? Maybe he cannot be bothered to flesh out his profile. I have no idea.

I was amused by the commentator’s obvious (and so English) reverence of Oxford (University). That commentator is himself in the Oxford area.

I am actually more concerned that such a person as Crosland was involved (according to his friend/acquaintance) at a very high level with an organization such as [what is now called] the National Crime Agency! It would seem to show something rotten (again) at the heart of an important part of UK governmental administration.

According to that commentator, who holds himself out as knowing, Crosland was “cleared” for “Top Secret” information. If that clearance was justified, it raises other questions.

The idea, echoed by the commentator, that Crosland is some kind of saintly idealist, I find hard to accept. If the UK goes “carbon neutral” by 2025 or even 2035 or 2045, huge numbers of people in the UK will suffer and die as a direct result. Fact.

My impression of that interview? A person with simplistic ideas (like his comrades: see https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/the-extinction-rebellion-levellers/), and who argued his case entirely unconvincingly for someone who apparently has been in the past both a practising barrister and a government lawyer.

Extinction Rebellion has no real programme, as I noted in my blog last year about them. This is a weird and pointless cult, worshipping (as does little Greta Nut) “The Science” as a God-substitute.
