Russia must rule all of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), and also, to a depth of about 50 miles, the Black Sea littoral. Kiev and Odessa can either be free cities, or ruled by condominium. The western and inland part of Ukraine can be a Ukrainian state centred on Lvov.
Yes. I recall visiting, a building in Westminster, occupied by the Home Office at the time; Broadway Buildings (almost opposite Broadway Underground Station on the Circle and District Line), a building which, in the 1940s, was the HQ of SIS/MI6. When I was there (only once), in the 1990s, I met a couple of senior civil service bods, both white English, but almost every other person seen in the building was non-white. 30 years ago…

A shocking revelation in my latest Substack is that Patron Law invented a bogus legal principle to avoid taking responsibility for incompetent advice to a client.
My own many former blog posts about washed-up incompetent and dishonest Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, can be found easily by typing “Mark Lewis” into the search box on the blog.
Many more blog posts are available via the search box.
“Mark Lewis Lawyer” has been keeping his head down for the past few months. There is every chance that his dishonesty and incompetence will result in his appearing (again) before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Trinbunal; the last time, in 2018, his own Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis should not have to pay a heavy fine because “he has no assets except his own clothes, a used mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week“.
Even most of the fanatical Jew-Zionists on Twitter/X have given up trying to puff Lewis as the “top libel lawyer” some mugs believed him to be 10-15 years ago. Never was.
Incidentally, re. those blog posts, Sabrina Miller, the young former Daily Mail scribblerwho colluded with Lewis and his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal in several scams (Sabrina Miller was also a one-time apologist for bestiality, bizarrely; see via the search box, and cf. “Lord” Ian Austin), seems to have been “let go” by the Mail and is “between jobs”.
Lewis was and/or still is a fervent operator for both the malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and “UK Lawyers for Israel”, both of which cabals have attacked me repeatedly in past years: see

[“What Nick Fuentes is trying to do, with his “Hitler is cool” pose, is to break The Final Seal. And that final seal is the lynchpin that holds the contemporary morality of the West together. “Hitler is evil” is The Final Seal, because it is literally more important to the establishment than voting rights for women, the climate-narrative and “Muslims are peaceful”. Because once this seal is broken, it is possible again to conceptualize that White/European ethnic groups are worthy of self-esteem and pride in their achievements; that they have interests specific to them as a group. This concept of course defies globalism, technocracy and multiculturalism. All this is locked away behind “Hitler is Evil”. Once this seal is broken, the West will undergo a Copernican revolution – it will be what Auguste Comte and Michel Houellebecq call a “metaphysical upheaval”, in a moral and spiritual sense similar to the Crucifixion of Christ. A complete re-orientation of values.“]

[“THIS WAS ME SEVEN YEARS AGO Back then, like a lot of people just waking up, I thought the problem was simple: “It’s just Islam.” I was full of energy, starting my activism, calling for mass repatriation and thinking that if we could just deal with radical Islam, everything would be fine. Classic civic nationalism – proud of my country, focused on “values” and “integration,” still believing the system could be fixed if we won a few elections. Then I started reading. Really reading. Digging into crime statistics that nobody wanted to talk about, fertility rates, housing pressures, the endless anti-white propaganda in schools and media, the way lobbying groups and globalist NGOs actually shape policy… and yes, the role of organized Zionist influence in both parties and in foreign wars that have nothing to do with British (or European/American) interests. One red pill after another. What I realised wasn’t just that Islam is incompatible – it was that mass third-world immigration of any kind is demographic replacement, no matter how “moderate” the newcomers claim to be. That the political class, left and right, sold us out decades ago. That civic nationalism is a comforting halfway house – it feels radical when you first arrive, but it still leaves the door wide open for the same people who created the problem to keep running the show. I went from “stop the boats and ban the burqa” to understanding we need total remigration – a complete and unapologetic reversal of the post-war population transfer into our homelands. Full nationalism. Ethno-nationalism. Whatever the controlled media calls it to scare you – that’s where the truth is.If you’re a civic nationalist right now reading this and feeling that nagging doubt – “maybe we do need to go further” – trust that instinct. I was exactly where you are seven years ago. I thought the people calling for full remigration were “too extreme.” Turns out they were just seven years ahead. The journey is tough at first. You’ll lose some friends. Family might call you names. But on the other side is clarity, purpose, and the knowledge that you’re no longer compromising on the survival of your people. If I could make that leap, so can you. Start reading. Question everything you’ve been told about “diversity” and “tolerance.” Follow the patterns instead of the talking points. Your nation needs you – the real you, not the civic version. Take the next step. You won’t regret it.“]

[“Juries have been the last line of defence against the authoritarian cancel mob. When our members have found themselves charged with criminal offences for speaking out, juries have reliably said no dice to overzealous prosecutors. This has infuriated the CPS and the activists who make malicious complaints. One was Jamie Michael, a decorated Royal Marines veteran, who was charged with inciting racial hatred after a Labour staffer reported him to the police for a video he posted on Facebook. Jamie spent 20 days in prison on remand. A jury took just 17 minutes to clear him. The local Labour Party were said to be furious. Now David Lammy wants to scrap juries and give judges — who are required to follow DEI policies — the sole power to convict and jail Brits for up to 5 years for online posts. This move is about power, not saving costs. Nothing in our present national situation warrants abandoning an 800-year-old right: that in a court of law, your peers decide if you’re guilty, not the state. We will fight any such proposal with everything we’ve go“]
If the “ape in a silk suit“, Lammy, intends to go ahead with this, he may live to regret it.

[“Look at the pic. This is Ukraine’s Minister of Energy, Svitlana Hrynchuk on a photo, who appears in recordings by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in a major corruption case in the energy sector. She received kickbacks from embezzled funds allocated for the construction of protective infrastructure for the energy system—an initiative that received nearly $5 billion in funding from the United States alone. These defenses were never built. The money was stolen by people in Zelensky’s inner circle. The scheme was reportedly led by Zelensky’s close friend and personal “wallet,” Tymur Mindich. Yet Zelensky feels so secure in misappropriating U.S. funds that he placed one of the central figures in this corruption scheme right in front of the President of the United States. Hrynchuk is the common-law wife of former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko, whom Zelensky reassigned as Minister of Justice after the investigation began. The previous Minister of Justice, Olga Stefanishyna – also charged by NABU in a separate corruption case now in court – was appointed as Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States and is also on the table, right to the Hrynchuck.

I found myself wondering how it was that, after Vanunu’s product found its way into the Sunday Times, MI5 was unaware of the fact that Vanunu was being honeytrapped?
Or was MI5 (and/or SIS/MI6) in fact perfectly aware, but let the thing continue? Why would MI5 or SIS do that? Well, maybe to keep UK-Israel relations stable by allowing (whether expressly or tacitly) MOSSAD to abduct Vanunu from a third country (as it turned out, Italy), thus allowing British services and government to wash their hands of it all. “Nothing to do with us, ‘guv”.

Worth watching/hearing, but his final advice to join the so-called “Free Speech Union” hits a bum note.
The “FSU”, set up by Toby Young, has never once helped anyone attacked for their speech or online opinions by the Jew-Zionist lobby, aka Israel lobby, such as (most egregiously) the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, headed by a liar and perjurer called Gideon Falter, who is assisted by another liar, and maker of false accusations, called (by me) “Slitherman”, who calls himself their “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”. The sheer gall of the bastard! Incredible.
I have frequently blogged about their decade-long campaign against me, but they have also attacked many many others, ranging from persecuted satirist and singer Alison Chabloz, and jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, to David Icke etc, right through to large organizations such as the BBC and Al Jazeera.
At present, the “CAA” is privately prosecuting (criminally) several persons: Dr. David Miller, Nick Griffin, black comedian Reginald D. Hunter; others too. The “CAA” is also conspiring against people such as NHS doctor Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan.
The “CAA” even tried to get the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resign (or to have him dismissed), and to that end contrived a street provocation using Gideon Falter, who then —once more— lied to get what he wanted but, as often in the past, failed.
All of that activity is an abuse of the English legal system, so-called “lawfare”, on behalf of Israel and its fanatical fifth column in the UK.
So what has the “Free Speech Union” had to say about the “CAA” and its abusive behaviour (including its attacks on me)? Nothing. So to me, the FSU is the same— nothing.

Thought for today
I watched on TV a few minutes of the Remembrance Sunday march of old soldiers past the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
Naturally, such an occasion is always tinged with sadness. So many failed to return, especially from the First World War. My own maternal grandmother had two brothers killed in that war (both captains in the Berks and Bucks Light Infantry); one killed in France in, I believe, 1915, the other on the Somme in 1916.
Of course, there would now be no WW1-serving soldiers on that march, and few, if any, from WW2.
I paused to wonder what might be the views of those marching about the state of the country today. At a guess, not favourable.
My overall feeling, watching the still-proud ranks marching, was that the march has really nothing to do with the UK and its society today. It might as well have been ranks of Roman legionaries marching there. The same goes for so many other ceremonies and institutions which, until quite recently, say 35 years ago, were an accepted part of the national fabric.

The migration-invasion is now the pre-eminent electoral issue in the UK (and elsewhere) but there is still a big bloc of “I’m OK” idiots for whom rubbish such as football, rugby, cricket, lesbianki “lionesses”, X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing etc take precedence in their little minds.
Translates to a Commons with about 428 Reform MPs, 80 Lab, 42 LibDem, 42 SNP, 14 Con, 9 Greens (etc).
My own opinion is that, by reason of the old System main parties, Lab and Con, now being equally hated and despised, very many people will vote Reform just to stamp on those two old parties; others will vote Reform because it is the only alternative now thought likely to have a chance.
Reform may end up with 450 MPs, it may end up with “only” 250, or even fewer; we shall have to see. I think that the “Conservatives” will slip lower as their natural hard core of elderly and very elderly pensioners start to pass away. Labour is also doomed, unless Starmer-stein is replaced by some figure able to appeal to a cross-section of voters.
At present, I see no sign of that. At one time I thought that Dan Jarvis might be a superficially-credible such figure, but his several years of toeing the Labour Party line, kow-towing to the Jewish/Israel lobby, and having nothing worthwhile to say about anything, have diminished him, visibly. No chance.
The present polling takes no account of either the Islamist independents or of Corbyn’s nascent “Your Party”.
I just fed my own speculations into Electoral Calculus, and came up with Reform 444 MPs, Lab 68, LibDems 50, SNP 40, Greens 15, and Cons…1 (etc). If “Your Party” were to get 5-10 MPs, then Labour would be reduced by the same amount accordingly.

[“The man who rebranded ‘repatriation’ as ‘,remigration’ confirms my point: It’s an empty piece of political grand-standing. There isn’t the faintest possibility of the grifters and conmen who run Europe’s populist parties either doing anything effective or being replaced in state power by genuine nationalists within 3 or 4 electoral cycles. Which means that remigration is not going to happen. Which in turn means that calling for it simply wastes time and resources which are desperately needed to prepare our peoples to be the largest minority in societies of minorities. Time for nationalists to stop writing ‘Dear Santa’ letters and get on with organising for the long run.”]
True, but once the idea of removing non-Europeans from Europe is out there, on the table, it does change the political dynamic, whatever the political and social realities —or apparent realities— might say about that.
Never bettered
Miles better than the facile Hollywood film made more recently.
I still regret having missed the (apparently excellent) talk given by John le Carre (David Cornwell), the author of Tinker Tailor and similar books, at the G.B.-U.S.S.R. Association offices and library circa 1984. That was an organization in Grosvenor Place, London S.W.1., funded by the Foreign Office as a kind of para-diplomatic/cultural thing; the small staff (librarian, assistant librarian, and Director) were paid and employed on Foreign Office pay and conditions. The organization went back to 1959; several ex-Prime Ministers had belonged.
I joined mainly in order to use their library of Russian and English books, the windows of which library, a few floors up from ground level, overlooked the gardens of Buckingham Palace. I also took part in basic Russian language sessions.
That organization no longer exists. It was renamed in the early 1990s, moved to a ghastly brown-coloured office building near the (also now gone, and redeveloped) Nine Elms vegetable market at Vauxhall, then closed down as a result, in part, of government spending cuts (circa 1996).

[“In the week that Jeffrey Epstein’s black book is back in the news, it’s worth thinking about how the Zionist state uses sexual habits as leverage in British politics. John Woodcock (the Lord’s own punchline in nominative determinism), who now styles himself ‘Lord Walney‘, was chair of Labour Friends of Israel. He was suspended from the Labour Party amid allegations he had sexually harassed a former female member of staff. He resigned from the party before these allegations could be investigated by the Labour Party and served as one of the State of Israel’s chief assets in Parliament, along with John Mann, Ruth Smeeth and Luciana Berger. Woodcock served the Zionist smear campaign against the Corbynite Left and was then returned to Parliament as a life peer by Boris Johnson in 2020 as a vote of thanks both from the State of Israel and the Conservative Party, for his services to both. The State of Israel has acted as a shield for Woodcock against these sexual harassment allegations, protecting him along the way and the elevating him to the Lords. In return, his loyal service to the Zionists is to foment Islamophobic hate campaigns against charities, mosques and other Muslim organisations. Woodcock should be investigated by the security services as a potential agent of a hostile and illegitimate foreign state which spies on the UK extensively and subverts our politics more than any other state. It is a wonder that he has not been prosecuted under the National Security Act. What is the legislation for if it is not going to be used to discipline individuals such as Woodcock? #DismantleZionism“]
I have written in the past on the blog about mentally-unstable sex-pest John Woodcock (who is now married to Spectator scribbler, and fellow depressive case, Isabel Hardman). See:
Woodcock is, of course, an enemy of the British people. He should never have been either “ennobled” (a ludicrous designation when applied to someone of his sort) or appointed as a paid governmental adviser. Thank God the bastard has now been sacked.
Evil Woodcock’s origins seem to have been concealed. One can find little about his real background, family, parentage etc.
Quite a few MPs and former MPs in the UK seem to have their full details, origins etc deliberately concealed. Democracy? Largely meaningless.
Woodcock once tweeted —critically— to me, about a decade ago, but was then advised by fake “socialist” (himself part-Jew, despite the Zionist Jews being hostile to him), Owen Jones, not to talk to me because I was, apparently, “a Nazi“…
In the US, they call that kind of display a “chimp-out”. London is becoming, once you leave the more wealthy areas, a jungle, and in the jungle live the feral denizens of the jungle.
A friend of mine once lived somewhere north of Manor House. She became upset when I referred to it as “bandit country“, and that was over 25 years ago! Incidentally, that lady eventually fled to the South Coast, as many have done.

If there is any reality to that, it will change UK politics forever. It might result in a Commons with maybe 450-500 Reform MPs, and the old Lib-Lab-Con System parties, together with Corbyn-Labour and the Greens sharing about 100 MPs, about 20-40 each (Greens about 5).

It was not the USA, Britain, Italy, or Israel. In Tehran a billboard went up, with these words: “Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, is a messenger of God.”]

Russia or, rather, the Russian people, will eventually, in about 1,500 years, become the leading edge of the world, just as the Germanic/Anglo-American element now is. That may be why Russia cannot be successfully invaded from west or east (as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler). The double-headed eagle looks both east and west at the same time.
Russia is not really either European or Asian, but sui generis.

There you are. That is the face of the UK armed forces in 2025. “Equality”, “diversity”, “best practice” in admin etc. Useless, in short.
Also, someone cannot spell (it’s “practices” in this case, not “practises“, unless, as a kind of American colony, we should all be writing in American English).
Still, when many “journalists” cannot spell, or write decently, why should some M.O.D. bod be any better?
I cannot know, but do suspect, that similar situations exist in the Army and Navy, and also in SIS/MI6 and MI5 (and, of course, in the police and CPS).
I cannot get too worked up about the Brize Norton attack, because for me the invasion of the UK is happening in small boats across the Channel, via “legal” immigration, and via births. I do not take “Britain’s defensive capability” against the (non-existent) “Russian threat” seriously, not in the slightest. Russia is only bristling because the UK is taking pointless and self-harming measures against Russia in the first place. We should be in loose alliance with Russia.
Having said that, it is clear that serious attackers, such as Spetsnaz commandos, would have no difficulty causing absolute havoc on such bases, should they ever be tasked with doing so.
The RAF Regiment usually defends RAF bases. What went wrong?
“Our rivers are under threat,” said Nick Measham, the chief executive of the conservation charity WildFish. “We are putting extra demands on water resources when the rivers are running dry. When it does rain after persistent dry periods, we often return our water polluted, which means that river habitats for animals and plants are in serious trouble.”
[Guardian]
Of course, the increase in population by reason of mass immigration is largely the cause. 56M when I was born (1956), and perhaps (no-one really knows) 70M today.
Moscow in 2025
As I said the other day on the blog, on my own visits to Moscow (1993 and 2007) I really did miss out!
More seriously, I can see that Moscow has changed radically in the past 18 years, let alone the past 32…
As for Petersburg, I have never been there, and it is one of a handful of cities which I have both never visited and which I might like to visit.

Goodwin, however, and very typically, refuses to “notice” which “element” (((element))) is behind most of that, if you dig deep enough.
To my mind, two aspects stand out: firstly, the fact that Reform UK has been attracting voters from all System parties, leaving the Greens aside. Former Conservative Party voters, but also former Labour Party voters; even some former LibDem voters (presumably, people who previously voted LibDem as being “the least bad of a bad bunch”). Secondly, the fact that Reform UK seems to be able to pull out of their self-imposed (?) exile people who in recent times have preferred not to vote (presumably in disgust at the choice or, rather, lack of choice, offered.
I have said many times on this blog that, with (in 2024) just on 40% of the entire eligible electorate preferring not to vote, any party that could energize even a substantial fraction of those voters, might sweep to power. It is not clear what proportion of 2024 non-voters are now willing to vote Reform, but it seems to be a substantial proportion, anyway (and no other party is managing to do the same).
A further point of interest is how many 2024 Lab and Con voters are now intending to abstain. Quite a few, but more from the Labour camp. I am guessing that the one-time Corbyn supporters are either going Green or abstaining, while others are going LibDem or to Reform, but it may not be so clear-cut.
What the picture will be by 2029, I cannot say, but somehow I doubt that most of those dissatisfied voters will be flocking back like homing pigeons to Lab or Con. Indeed, it may well be that both main System parties will experience further drift away from their control and influence.
Gaza
'This is deliberate… this is the militarisation of starvation.'
Whoever in the UK —whether Jew or non-Jew— supports what the Israeli Government is doing in Gaza is complicit in war crimes of a deeply sadistic and brutal kind.
Jewish orgs in the UK, such as the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], maintain that only 6% of Jews in the UK say that they are not “Zionists”, and that the vast majority of the remaining 94% support what the Israeli Government is doing. From the horse’s mouth.
Starmer-stein has vowed to maintain arms sales to Israel. He is therefore and thereby aiding and abetting the worst kind of state terrorism, indeed terrorism bullying a civilian population (a high proportion of which consists of non-combatant women and children) which has no means at all of protecting or defending itself, let alone of fighting the Israeli Jews with their jet aircraft, missiles, tanks etc.
It becomes ever more obvious that the establishment of the State of Israel was a terrible mistake. Still, perhaps it will be possible to correct that, together with other, connected, mistakes.

You only have to look at the schools, particularly at primary educational level, particularly in the cities, towns, and suburbs. There are few white children (“formerly known as English or British”) at all.
Electoral Calculus translates that result to Reform 376 MPs, Lab 129, LibDem 65, SNP 39, Cons 11. Once again, if replicated at the 2029 (?) General Election, terminal for the Conservative Party.
That kind of special forces type of operation is in a grey area alongside “terrorism”. The Kiev regime is doing it not from a position of strength but from one of military weakness, weakness on the battlefield. The Kiev regime’s forces are depleted, at little more than skeleton strength now. Russian Federation forces are steadily if slowly advancing across the major sections of the front, and are not retreating on any sector of the front.
I expect a Russian move shortly that will be both payback for the recent drone attacks on airfields as far away as Western Siberia, and an escalation which may create a breakthrough for the Russian side.

No one should vote for Labour at the Runcorn bi election or local elections in protest against the government's negligence on illegal immigration control and open borders. This government is the worst ever, Labour deserve to be voted out of office for their neglect of the UK.
According to one poll, the only two significant contenders, Reform and Labour, are neck and neck, both around 35% of the vote. As to the bookmakers —in my experience a less reliable indicator— Reform are odds-on favourites at about 1/2; Labour 2/1: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.
As previously blogged, the only ways to sink Labour in this seat, and to at least “send a message” to Starmer-stein, are either to vote Reform or to vote anywhere but Labour or, failing that, not to vote at all. Whatever you do, do not vote (fake, taken-over) Labour.
I still think that Reform may smash this, but concede that I may be wrong. We shall soon know— the by-election is in three days’ time, Thursday 1 May 2025.
Import backward populations, import their religious, social, political and other behaviours. Surely that is not too hard for people to grasp, even those brainwashed by “anti-racist” propaganda?

She has even invented a non-existent “moderate” party (it exists in her mind and tweets but nowhere else). Its “moderate” policies would include near-open borders, huge amounts of money funneled to Zelensky’s corrupt dictatorship, and huge, even unstinting, support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

Unfortunately, Douglas Murray is “a white man in a suit” who is a complete puppet of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should not complain about “racism” were it such that it were defending true European race and culture.
Of course, were anyone to denigrate “a black man in a suit” in the msm or System media, something seen daily, there would be uproar; the police (in their new chosen role as a poundshop Stasi) would probably get involved, in fact.

Yes, the USA might well be able to deploy 10x the military-destructive power that Russia can. Maybe even more. However, simple mathematics says that 0 x 10 is no different than 0 x 1. Once you are destroyed, you cannot be destroyed all over again.
Yes, it may be that the major Russian cities and towns and military bases could all be obliterated by American nuclear weapons, but I dare say that the 100 biggest American cities could also be largely destroyed by Russian missiles, together with the major American military facilities.

[“I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year. Amid the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War, soaring and uncontrolled immigration, deteriorating public services, a glaring lack of social integration, and a succession of scandals that have rocked the Labour government, from the rape gangs to Freebiegate, voters are now on the move. Compared to the 2024 general election, Keir Starmer and Labour are down more than 10-points on just 24%. Kemi Badenoch and the Tories are down 2-points on just 22%, showing no sign of recovery. And the Liberal Democrats are up 1-point, averaging just 13.6%. But now look at Reform. As we’ve been predicting and analysing in our newsletter for two years (showing why people are voting Reform and the areas where it is building strength), Reform is now up 11-points to 25%. And that’s not all. As I explain below, Reform is now hitting both the Tories but especially Labour in unique and powerful ways, looking set for a major breakthrough as it inherits the post-Brexit realignment.”]
Yes, but Reform can only be a transitional party, existing in the space between the existing System parties and a social nationalist movement which, as yet, does not exist.
The next big test will be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. 9 days from today. Those voters could make history. Will they?

In rough terms, at the 2024 General Election, Reform scored about 2 votes out of every 12 cast. Labour got 4 out of every 12, the Con Party 3 out of every 12. In fact, 8 out of every 20 eligible did not even vote, so Labour was endorsed by only 4 out of 20.
About half of those Labour votes were cast by people who now realize that Starmer-stein lied to them about almost everything. That is why Labour (supported mainly by non-white voters) is now around the same level as Reform UK.
The unfair FPTP electoral system gives the false impression that only a tiny fringe supported Reform at GE 2024; in fact it was over 14%, and the Conservative Party, with all its money and history (and in government until the General Election) only scored 23%.

Widespread and angry political dissent is not going to go away even if Reform does. Popular discontent will simply find another channel to flow down. Another party, or a new movement of some kind, perhaps a social-national movement which goes beyond being simply a political party.

[Great Patriotic War memorial, Panfilov Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan. In the Autumn and Winter of 1996, and the Spring of 1997, I lived on Prospekt Lenina, about 10 minutes’ walk from there (I moved to another address later). A striking example of public statuary]
[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“
