Ukraine war

Happened to listen to BBC Radio 4 Today Programme for a few minutes in the car. A correspondent was talking about the drone attacks on Moscow, and saying that prior to the Russian invasion, there had been no attacks, and so these attacks were happening only because of the Russian invasion.

Superficially true, in that Russia proper was never attacked before the invasion of early 2022, but what was not mentioned was the 8 years of artillery bombardment (and bombing) of the Russian-speaking and/or pro-Russian areas of formerly-Ukraine territory, particularly Donetsk, starting in 2014.

I waited to hear who was giving what was basically a lying-by-omission account of things. Turned out that it was “Steve Rosenberg, Russia Editor“. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Rosenberg]. What a surprise. Or not.

I notice that some of my oldest and also least-read blog posts received hits today. One, written in 2018, was this little anecdote about my Bar pupillage in 1992: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/06/19/home-and-away-or-neighbours/

Ostalgie?

I visited Poland several times in the late 1980s, spending maybe 2 months or so there altogether. I also once spent a few days travelling by car from Poland to West Germany, so I saw small parts of the southern regions of the DDR (East Germany) at that time (summer 1988). I have blogged about it previously. A strange-seeming society, very very different from the Bundesrepublik (West Germany).

The DDR was a very controlled group-dictatorship: rule by the few (Communists), of course, and in most respects the DDR was very inferior to the Bundesrepublik, but the situation was not entirely black and white. Few things are.

The Ukrainian army will begin to lose control over the situation along the entire front, as is the case in the Kharkiv region, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter wrote in an article for Sputnik. “The thinning of Ukrainian defense lines has provided Russian forces with new opportunities.” This resulted in great successes in the area of ​​Kupjansk. The armed forces of Ukraine will continue to weaken as they suffer losses, and gaps will appear in their defense that the Russian army can use to break through,” the expert predicts.”

Black Africa. That’s where the wealth goes— into the pockets of a few corrupt bastards…

There can be little doubt that, as the Ukrainian (Kiev regime) counter-offensive is failing, the air war is heating up. If Russia keeps getting attacked from the air, even if only by drones, the response may be devastating.

True, but that does not, or need not, imply that Putin, or any one individual or force (e.g. Kiev-regime intelligence service) is behind all of those events, though of course those thought to have been dismissed could only have been dismissed by Putin.

Not “claims“; it is simply a fact. In fact, the same happened with Gordon Brown (who went on to lose the 2010 General Election), Theresa May (who went on to win the 2017 General Election), “Boris” Johnson (who went on to win the 2019 General Election), and Liz Truss. Now Rishi Sunak. If a Prime Minister resigns, there should have to be an “immediate” (arguende, within 3 months) general election.

As for Wagner Group, without Prigozhin and Utkin there is no top leadership so, as an independent “band of brothers”, Wagner Group, the so-called “musicians” or musikanty, has effectively passed into history.


Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson is convinced that it is already too late for the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “Because of the failure on the fronts, the troops may rise up against the head of state Volodymyr Zelensky.

Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Douglas McGregor: The current situation of the Ukrainian army can be compared to the situation in which the Wehrmacht found itself in 1944. Then the German army lost its air support. Therefore, although it had good weapons, even tanks that had just come off the assembly line, it could not fight effectively. The same is happening now in Ukraine.

I watched about 15 minutes in total of BBC News and Sky News. Just hard-to-believe propaganda about how Ukraine is supposedly “winning”. Just rubbish.

Olaf Scholz said that Germany is currently experiencing “unsatisfactory” economic growth. According to Bloomberg, the German Chancellor believes that the problems are related to the country’s dependence on exports.

The agency notes that Scholz refused to allocate funds to fight the crisis due to lack of money and the growing debt of Germany. At the same time, Scholz added that the country has “good prospects” in terms of the economy.

Earlier, the German media noted that in Germany there is a deep economic crisis and this country, as a “locomotive”, is pulling the entire EU to the bottom. Germany’s GDP declined, among other things, due to higher energy prices and spending on Ukraine.

In fact, Osborne is only a part-Jew, according to modern genetics. There is no need for us to follow the backward tribal precepts from thousands of years ago which “they” follow, i.e. that someone is “Jewish” if the mother was (designated as) “Jewish”.

Anyone who expects a better government under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, is sadly deluded.

The old Jew conspirator obviously either knows or believes that Europe is going to be written off by the transnational conspiracy (NWO/ZOG), and so any further payments in Europe would be wasted. This is a very significant straw in the wind.

NATO has lost hope in the victory of Ukraine, said retired British colonel Richard Kemp.

In an article he wrote for The Telegraph, commenting on the statement by NATO Secretary General Styan Jensen’s chief of staff that Ukraine could join the North Atlantic Alliance if it cedes territory to Russia, Kemp assessed that this was a factual admission of how the West sees the solution to the conflict in Ukraine: “It seems that the leading Western countries want to sell Ukraine cheaply and as soon as possible.”

The British officer added that the West – just two years after its shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan – is “once again on the verge of admitting defeat”.”

A pro-Israel propagandist. To my mind, a very sinister individual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kemp.

The fact that Kemp is speaking out in such terms as above-noted may indicate a System worry that the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cause may have lost the support of the public, if not to a pro-Russian position then to an unbiased and/or apathetic view.

Also, Kemp’s comments may indicate that some decision-makers in the West have come to the view that Zelensky’s corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship cannot win, strategically, against Russia in Ukrainian (or former Ukrainian) territory, let alone on the territory of Russia itself.

Nadine Dorries

Seems that that useless expenses freeloader, Nadine Dorries, is actually going to stand down. In a way, slightly surprising. I thought that she might try to hang on until 2024 and the next general election.

The bigger question is how she, and literally hundreds of other totally stupid and ignorant MPs (not only “Conservative” one; Labour and LibDem and SNP ones too) ever became MPs (let alone ministers) in the first place. My question is of course rhetorical; the whole pseudo-democratic system is broken.

Nadine Dorries. A complete deadhead.

That tweet refers to some of the semi-fraudulent behaviours of Nadine Dorries, such as paying at least one of her (unqualified) daughters about £50,000 a year via Parliamentary expenses, and the misuse of a flat (also paid for via expenses) in which said daughter(s) lived for free for years. Not to mention “grifted” laptops, iphones etc.

I think that it is true for most MPs. The rest may be more honest (possibly) but many even of those are irredeemably ignorant and/or stupid, which is no better, surely…

Once American society collapses, it will probably never recover, because the bulk of the population exists on such a low cultural and intellectual level. Not just “prejudice”…I have both lived there and worked there.

Yes, there are exceptions. A small minority of people; maybe 2% or 3%.

Europe is under attack both in terms of demographics and in terms of culture.

The above map shows the situation from about 1989-2022. The next 33-year cycle, up to about 2055, will result in even greater and even less-welcome changes in the European space, unless something can be done to prevent them.

Looks as though Putin is reasserting control after what I called at the time a modern-day “revolt of the Streltsy” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streltsy_uprising] a few months ago. Not exactly a coup or putsch, but something more akin to a demand for privileges and participation in policy-making.

All the same, Putin may regret the apparent passing into history of the Wagner Group. It fought well, despite having been composed, in part, of persons with little conventional military experience.

The brunt of the fighting in Ukraine (and possibly beyond) will now fall upon armoured units, artillery, and air power, not mass infantry formations such as Wagner Group.

Russia cannot “lose” the Ukraine war, unless there is upheaval and/or revolt in Russia itself. Putin seems to have taken the view that Wagner Group had to be dispersed in power and its leaders removed.

Of course, it may be that the air incident was simply an accident, or an assassination by others, eg Kiev-regime services, but those possibilities seem less likely.

Well, they look cheerful enough, not obviously “defeated”, but that group is surely little more than a rabble.

Amazing. Something I have never seen, nor even heard about, previously.

THE LOSS of the last elite reserve units, which the military leadership of Ukraine has inserted into the fighting on the Zaporizhzhya front, will lead to its collapse, said former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter.

“Now we are witnessing – emphasized Ritter – the last phase of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which has not achieved any goal. It alone led to the death of more than 45 thousand Ukrainian soldiers. There are only 15 thousand of them left.

‘I’m talking about elite reserve units armed with British Challenger tanks, Marder and Stryker combat vehicles.”

Ritter pointed out that Kiev’s fresh forces “also got stuck in minefields in front of Russian defense lines.” According to him, as soon as the last elite units of Kiev are destroyed, the Ukrainian front will begin to collapse, like an old dam unable to hold back a powerful river flow.”

[Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector and military intelligence officer]

You can already see the NWO/ZOG-ruled powers reconsidering— various EU states are modifying the military and other aid going to the Kiev regime, and the US Government has been increasingly making public, in a guarded way, its concern that the Ukraine war might become a general European conflict and even an intercontinental nuclear one.

Can you imagine? Lammy might become a Cabinet minister if/when Labour forms a government…

Lammy, a thick “diversity hire”, who (like Diane Abbott) basically hates white (eg British) people, history, and culture (but has a wife who is not black: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Green).

He said: ‘There are many in the transgender debate who follow in the Humpty Dumpty tradition. 

‘Men become women and women become men via a simple declaration. If words can have any meaning debate becomes meaningless.

Polly Toynbee represents a certain bloc of voters, though a small one; the “Labour”/LibDem bien-pensants of Blackheath, Hampstead, and Highgate who actually read not only the Guardian but also Observer, who mock the poorer British people concerned about, inter alia, migration-invasion, crime, and houses given to useless migrant-invaders and/or other blacks, browns and feral white hordes while real British people suffer.

That bloc either went to Oxford or Cambridge, or failing that to Durham University or Exeter, and want their children and grandchildren to go there (before joining the BBC, Foreign Office or maybe SIS, or becoming barristers, solicitors or doctors). Oh, and of course profess “liberal” values that are rooted not really in philosophy or ideology, but more in family trust funds, high salaries, and ownership of houses…

The Tories are facing electoral oblivion in the red wall as a shock poll reveals they will lose every single seat.

Polling from Electoral Calculus, shared with The Independent, reveals all 42 red wall seats held by the Conservatives are set to return to Labour at the next general election.

The scale of the rebellion against the government appears to in part be driven by the spiralling cost of living, with a separate analysis seen by The Independent showing the crisis is having a devastating impact on Tory-held seats in the red wall.

Almost two-thirds of voters believe the economy to be one of the top three issues facing the country, putting it significantly ahead of health and immigration, YouGov polling shows.

…while the economic figures “underline” the struggle in voters in those areas for the Conservatives, the prospect of the party holding on to power in the general election is already “not likely”.

Nationally, Electoral Calculus predicts a landslide Labour victory, winning around 460 seats, with the Conservatives reduced to just 90 seats.”

[The Independent]

A loss of the 42 “Red Wall” seats (which seems almost inevitable after the total collapse of the Government’s credibility on immigration and health) cannot be prevented even were the economy overall to improve. Any such improvement is unlikely to trickle down (to coin a phrase) to most of the people in those 42 areas.

In theory, the Conservative Party could lose all 42 “Red Wall” seats and still have a Commons majority of 35-40, but in reality the Government’s standing is so damaged across the country that the best that they can hope for, and at present even that seems unlikely.

Not that there is —or will be— much enthusiasm for Labour under Starmer, Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, but there is really no reason why one-time Labour voters who voted Con in 2019 would go out and vote Con in 2024; none at all. Indeed, there is little incentive even for long-term Conservative Party voters to do so. That being so, Labour may well triumph by default.

The Kiev regime cannot defeat Russian forces on the battlefield, and any attempt to bomb Russian cities heavily will result in a response so devastating that, after such response, Kiev, Kharkov and other cities may be completely destroyed. The most the Kiev regime can hope for is to be allowed to withdraw to Lvov and to rule over a rump inland “Ukraine” state from there.

One notices that the 2022 and early 2023 UK TV talking heads and alleged “experts”, ex-British Army officers and newspaper scribblers, all predicting Russian collapse and “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) victory (in one case, even a Ukrainian advance to Moscow!), have disappeared from the TV screens, or are being very reticent now.

A mother was left injured in a horrific revenge attack when her lover hired his retired father to help ‘sort her out’ after she refused to have sex with him.

Alex Craig, 36, and his 78-year-old father Francis Craig carried out the attack when Alex dumped Luana Dougherty. Luana’s daughter Carlee, 16, and her boyfriend Finn McBride were also injured.

The court heard [that] Craig snr, a retired builder, arrived at Miss Dougherty’s house on March 19 and went on to threaten Carlee by saying he would kill her as he pulled her hair and threw her to the ground.

Craig jnr then kicked Miss Dougherty, a mother-of-two, twice in her ribs and repeatedly kicked Finn McBride, 16. During the attack, he also threw a bicycle, pool balls, and an electric fan at the teenager.

Miss Dougherty, a community support worker from Cheshire, was left with bruising to her ribs, a cut to her right arm, and a cut to her lip. Carlee suffered a bump to the side of her head and a bloody nose while Finn suffered cuts to his knees, a bite mark under his left arm, and a split lip.

…at Chester Crown Court they admitted affray and were each sentenced to 18 months in jail suspended for 18 months.

In what world are the above offences suitable for suspended sentences, looking at the deliberate and premeditated assaults, and the injuries? Crazy Britain, 2023.

Of course, routine over-sentencing in other cases is one factor that has led to a shortage of space in the prisons.

There is a sense that this country is not far from “anarchy” or, better put, societal breakdown. The urban jungles are the worst areas, of course.

We are living pretty much on the edge now, to a greater extent than is generally understood.

Incidentally, I have just been reading the memoirs of Gorbachev, which came out in the mid-1990s. He says that, in Stavropol region, southern Russia, of which he was effectively in charge before going to Moscow as a candidate-member of the Politburo in or about 1980 , they had exactly the same problems— petty and not so petty crime, and arguments around sentences, community penalties, and as to whether prison was the right punishment in less serious cases.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23694543.letter-the-town-centre-looks-like-wasteland-filthy/

After visiting Bournemouth town centre today, I came away feeling shocked and sad to see what has happened to the town since I last visited and felt the need to vent my frustration.

I consider myself a local despite no longer living in the area.

I am 34 and lived in Christchurch for most of my life.

I loved regular day trips or nights out in Bournemouth.

The town was always so vibrant with lots going on, great shops and restaurants and always felt very safe.

I moved up to Scotland five years ago and have just returned to Bournemouth for a visit.

What the hell has happened to this place? There are barely any shops left, with many boarded up.

The town centre looks like a wasteland and is filthy.

A high proportion of people walking around the town centre seem to have a drink or drugs problem.

Quite frankly there is no centre to visit anymore and the issues with drink and drugs make the place have an unpleasant and uncomfortable atmosphere.

I just don’t understand what this council are doing but it genuinely disgusts and saddens me.

Simply having a nice beach and gardens is not enough of an attraction with such a rundown town at its centre.

Growing up I was always so proud to live in such a beautiful place.

Now I couldn’t be happier that I no longer live here and after my experience this week I doubt I will ever return to the area again.

What a shame.

[extracts from a letter to the Bournemouth Echo newspaper]

Bournemouth is about 17 miles from my present home. I remember, just about, being there (from Berkshire) with my family on occasional days in the early/mid 1960s. My memories were of somewhere safe, white, English, sunny (we visited on odd days in the summer), with clean streets and buildings (mainly hotels and apartment buildings), a beach not too crowded, bright yellow double-decker buses.

I also spent a few days there in the 1980s, as a kind of unofficial add-on to a Soviet dance ensemble (my then girlfriend was interpreting for them); I cannot now recall which dance or ballet group it was, but one of the well-known ones. The hotel was a quite decent 3/4-star place, with an unheated outdoor swimming pool. All the Russians opened their windows and looked out when I jumped in and swam in the cold water at about 8 in the evening, after dark.

I also visited the place another time, also early 1980s, when I and my then girlfriend swam with the ex-wife and children of the poet, Yevtushenko. I blogged about that years ago. The grandmother of those children had a wooden bathing hut on a semi-private beach in a pleasant area of Bournemouth; also a nearby home.

Bournemouth is appalling now. I almost never go there. 20+ years ago, it was still not too bad, though nothing like what it was like in the 1960s anyway. I drove there a few times in 2000.

By 2009, when I had to go there and nearby a few times, the downturn was pretty obvious. Large numbers of foreign persons, mostly non-white. Part of that would be the number of language schools there (genuine or otherwise), and also other higher education institutes attracting foreign students. That is far from being the whole picture, though.

As for drugs, I have never had any connection with them (unless you count the cannabis-smoking bourgeois dropouts etc I knew in the mid-1970s, or the DEA agent to whom I was introduced at the Federal Courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1990, and who showed me the real evidence in a trial that was going on: a sportsbag filled with vacuum-packed cocaine, the packs looking like supermarket coffee packs, but transparent, containing white powder, packed hard). Worth USD $250,000 wholesale, apparently.

However, Bournemouth is apparently now a drugs hotspot.

Sad. Bournemouth is not alone in becoming a dump. Torquay and many other towns, previously rather nice, are no better.

So far, nothing more on Twitter from Gonzalo Lira. Looks like he has been arrested. It seems naive to have posted the above tweets and then tried to cross the border. It occurred to me that Lira was going to try to cross a different border than the one specified, but that might not have made any difference in the digital age.

The rest of his important Twitter thread:

So far, no more news…

[Update, 11 September 2025: Gonzalo Lira died in Kiev-regime custody in January 2024, 6 months after he posted the above tweets and tried to escape from Ukrainian territory. Cause of death officially pneumonia (possible in view of the terrible conditions in which he was apparently held), or he might have simply been murdered one way or another. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Lira; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Lira#Death]

Part of a huge transnational campaign by the forces of evil, the aim being to trash or replace what are sometimes termed “the Good, the Beautiful, and the True”.

Ah. That had puzzled me. Here we have a notably corrupt and shambolic “state”, Ukraine, which for 30+ years has become ever-more corrupt and shambolic. That state has now been invaded, a tenth of its territory occupied, and about 20% of the population has fled to other countries. Industry is largely idle, while agricultural produce cannot be, for the most part, exported. Despite all that, the exchange rate of its currency, the hryvnia, has not dropped through the floor. Why not?

As far as the medical profession is concerned, very few of such incidents involve (real) British/English doctors, as everyone knows. The case reported on is no different.

Local MP? Freeloading chancer Jackie Doyle-Price [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Doyle-Price].

Crazy Britain.

Online “grifter”, “Supertanskiii”, who apparently makes some kind of living partly via pretending to be an “anti-Tory” “activist” (i.e. she tweets ranting, repetitive, and boring remarks about “the Tories” several times a day, and is, or so I read, sent money by, I also read, pathetic middle-aged men, mostly), engages in dialogue with someone about better-known “grifter” “Jack Monroe”. Note also how “Supertanskiii” uses that stupid “they” thing when she means “she“.

The conversation was all about how MP Lee Anderson (admittedly not someone of whom I particularly approve) was evil etc when he claimed to be able to make food for 30p (while fraudster “Jack” claims to be able to do the same for 11p). Both totally implausible, in my opinion.

Louise Theroux and Nick Fuentes

Saw a recording of a recent Louis Theroux TV show. His usual modus operandi, i.e. try to appear friendly or at least honestly inquisitive, while plotting how to entrap his interviewers and/or make them look stupid. It often works. The only one of his interviewees (from the relatively few of his shows seen by me) who managed to put Theroux in his place was the late Max Clifford.

This show was about one Nick Fuentes and his followers in the USA. I had heard of Nick Fuentes, but knew little of him.

I have to say that Theroux did not have a difficult task this time. Weird people giggling and making jokes out of serious issues, these Nick Fuentes followers (and the man himself) came across more like silly boys aged about 10 (in most cases) rather than young or youngish men in their twenties and thirties trying to put forward serious points and maybe attain to political leadership.

Not that I disliked or disagreed with all that they said. They seemed to be fairly solid on the “Jewish Question”, though their views were pretty superficial.

Nick Fuentes himself seemed reasonably intelligent, and is plainly making a small fortune out of his activities, but some of his views are just mad, and I have nothing in common with the “nothing is serious”, or “making jokes to make a semi-serious point” tactics he and his followers deploy. I also have nothing in common in terms of lifestyle with these “gamers” and their Call of Duty (etc) interests. I have never played such a game, not even once. There again, I am now 66, twice or even three times the age of these —to me— strange young/youngish men (apparently there are a few women, but not many).

They all expressly disclaimed any connection with, or interest in, National Socialism, or what they termed “white supremacism“, or even “white nationalism“. That rang a couple of alarm bells for me. It occurred to me that Fuentes, and the movement as a whole might be a kind of plant, or at least being loosely manipulated as “controlled opposition”.

Here is a movement of the contemporary computerized era: no ideology to speak of (from what I have seen so far), no real programme, no administrative structure beyond whatever is necessary to publish their views online. A rag-tag bunch of followers, though quite numerous (Fuentes was said to be able to gather a crowd of several thousands at short notice, and in any state of the Union).

I enjoyed seeing the scenes of the U.S. Capitol invaded, but that did not amount to a putsch, even on the slightly comic-opera or tragi-comic level of, say, the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 in Munich, which at least had real aims, real ideology, serious people (Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Ludendorff, Rudolf Hess, Dietrich Eckart etc), and real courage and steel.

The U.S. Capitol “riot”, by contrast— no discipline, no ideology, no real leadership; chaotic, and with nothing to fall back upon afterwards.

Not very impressive (both Fuentes’ movement and Theroux’s show). The nagging thought is in my mind— what interests are served by a phenomenon such as that? It may be little more than a safety-valve for the System.

The VBI” refers to the “Jack Monroe” invention (which does not in fact exist) of a so-called “Vimes’ Boots Index” of inflation monitoring of basic or staple products. Another “Jack Monroe” scam, in short.

Short answer— no. Maybe days later, but only as a useless rubbernecker (who later tried to scam more money using the situation as a painted backdrop).

Tweeter “Birdy Bart”: joined Twitter late June 2023, and only 1 “follower”. The latest “Jack Monroe” “sock account”. Pathetic, but not as pathetic as the 379 utter mugs still each sending the fraudulent “grifter” between £3.50 and £44 a month, a total of thousands of pounds a month.

Still, the tide has turned.

Last year, “Jack Monroe” was being chucked money by about 850 mugs (she having been endorsed by Jewish “celebrity” “foodies” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner).

In the latter part of 2022, that ~850 declined to about 400 or so as people started to wake up to the fraudulent and abusive behaviour etc by “Jack Monroe” and her fans; then the number declined further, to 396-397, and stuck there for quite a while, several months. Now— 379. Must still be several thousand a month, though, as noted. Even on the lowest level (£3.50 each), that is still over £1,300 in cash, though, every month, and taxfree. At a guess, she must still be pulling in about £4,000 a month from those mugs.

As I blogged recently, Baddiel is the unthinking man’s Jonathan Miller…

Because most Africans are incapable of organization.

There are other factors, of course: corruption, wars and civil wars and (yes) exploitation by outsiders, but that is last and least.

The blog has had only one or two hits from Burkina Faso in the past years. Maybe it was that President? Who knows?

In the future, say 200 years from now, will 2023 be classed alongside 1941, 1939, and 1914, and will earnest discussion among academics ask “could that war have been prevented?”

History in pictures

[Marshal Zhukov inspects the ruins of the Reichstag, Berlin, 1945]

Naturally, it was tragic that the war or wars of the early/mid 1940s happened. There was right and wrong on both, indeed all, sides. However, that was ~80 years ago, and the Reichstag was destroyed over 78 years ago. There is now no need to trigger another huge war in Europe by arming, and funnelling ammunition and money etc, to the corrupt, brutal, shambolic Kiev regime. Germany should learn the lesson of history here.

One of my several problems with expenses cheat and fraudster Nadine Dorries is that she is typical of a great number of MPs in simply being far too stupid, uncultured and generally uneducated to be a legislator of any kind. At least (unlike several other recent “grifters” and sycophants) she has been denied a peerage.

David Baddiel

Ha. Harsh but true.

Erasure” of Jews? Ha ha.

Oh well, people can dream, I suppose…

In reality, though, whether in TV, on radio, in films, in newspapers, in fact in the msm generally, indeed in UK, US, French (etc) society in general, you can hardly get away from “them”. “They” have certainly not been “erased”, and there is no “erasure” happening, at least that I can see. Au contraire.

Baddiel does not object to Jews or blacks playing non-Jew and non-black roles, including roles of people who actually existed (even Anne Boleyn was played by a black American woman not so long ago, absurdly), but he does object to Jews being played by non-Jews, so long as the said Jews are —rightly or wrongly— considered to be positive characters.

Presumably, Baddiel does not want Jewish theatricals confined to playing Jewish roles.

“They” always want things their way.

As a matter of fact, I have never seen the creators of atomic weapons (almost all of which, in the 1940s and 1950s, were Jews) as being very positive, especially in view of the fact that they wanted to use the weapons not only on Japan but also in Europe, and especially on Germany. That was the original target. Thank God Europe dodged at least that bullet.

Atomic science in the 1940s, 1950s was largely, though not entirely, a preserve of Jews, starting of course, with Einstein.

The benefits of [atomic science] in practice are far outweighed by the negative aspects.

Would it not have been better had [atomic science in practice] never existed? Would it not be better if [atomic energy and weapons] did not exist, or were, in the future, somehow eliminated?

As for blacks playing white Europeans from history, when will a white European actor be playing the part of Nelson Mandela in a TV or film drama? Never, I am presuming…

Gina Miller now. Farage recently, but before both of them were the Patriotic Alternative people— Mark Collett, Laura Towler, Sam Melia, who all had their personal bank accounts shut down, and not by esoteric banks such as Coutts, but by high street names (I think Barclays, Halifax etc). Incidentally, those three were “cancelled” at least a couple of years ago.

This is all a part of a gradual encroachment— the “Great Reset” of Western society by secretive cabals.

Thought for the day…

Without banking services, political parties cannot operate“. Indeed, but why does Golding think this is happening? Precisely so that one cabal, or connected cabals, can rule over the UK (and beyond) without much political opposition of any kind. These are initial, tentative experiments in control (just like the “lockdowns” the facemask nonsense etc). To use the usual phrase, “first they came for...”, in this case, Patriotic Alternative.

Probably the only reason nothing has happened to me so far (in terms of banking) is because a. I belong to no party or group, and b. I have little money anyway.

What a massive hypocrite Toby Young is. He never said a word when I was wrongfully and indeed unlawfully disbarred in 2016, or in relation to any of the false and malicious complaints made to Twitter, online fora and even police about me (made, in every single case, by Jews). One of those matters is still ongoing, in fact, I having been (some time ago and quite wrongly) charged under the notorious “bad law” of Communications Act 2003, s.127. That case will not come to trial (if at all) until Autumn 2023.

In fact, that much-abused law (mostly, in the political realm, abused by Jews engaging in “lawfare”) is set to be either repealed, or at any rate superseded, next year. It may well be that I shall be that last person tried under its poorly-drafted provisions.

Reverting to Toby Young’s hypocrisy, he and his so-called “Free Speech Union” also never said a word in defence of others who have been persecuted and/or prosecuted by Jewish interests: Jez Turner, Alison Chabloz, and many others.

One used to see dozens, even hundreds of tweeters naively defending “Jack Monroe” and/or holding her up as a wonderful and principled “activist” etc. No more. The few tweeters defending her are patently almost all “sock accounts” operated, in my opinion, by “Jack Monroe” herself. Often recently set up, often with few or even no Twitter “followers”. She admitted to doing that a decade ago, in fact.

I notice, also, that the large commercial and other organizations that used to cite “Jack Monroe” in tweets and other publicity, now do not. As a public figure, she has almost certainly reached the end of the line.

Still, I would not mind having 397 people (in her case, utter mugs) all sending me money monthly via Patreon, adding up to several thousand pounds each month.

Ha ha. I like the way the policeman fell back into what looks like a paddling pool. Beyond that, it shows how desperate the Kiev regime is getting for more cannon-fodder. The “stout” man looks about 40 years old at least, and markedly overweight.

Thinking about the desperate attempts by the Kiev regime to recruit (press into service) anyone they can leads me on to thoughts of the demographic future of Ukraine.

Even before the war, the population of Ukraine was in decline, mainly because of the past 30+ years of corrupt, shambolic “independence” as well as, pre-“Independence”, decades of Brezhnevite stagnation when Ukraine was a constituent part of the Soviet Union.

Now, huge numbers of, mainly, young and youngish men have been killed, many others badly wounded. Hundreds of thousands in all. Many Ukrainian women, at the same time, have taken the chance to settle in other parts of Europe. Most men are barred from leaving. The birth-rate in Ukraine must already have declined even further. This is a state without a future.

Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

The next US election will be crucial.
