Another interesting “Matt and Julia” vlog about “the real Iran” (and a few memories of my own)

Persian food can be very nice indeed. I often recall the food prepared by a Persian lady in London, cooked as a kindness for a friend of mine (and hers), an aristocratic lady from East Prussia displaced by both the Second World War and the decolonizing nonsense in the East Africa of the 1950s.

That Persian food was sent across the road, via one of the Persian lady’s adult sons, packed in takeaway-type foil containers. Fantastic stuff.

As to those Persians, they had a lucky escape. The father of the family had been an MP in Iran, was I think strongly connected to the Shah, and had been hanged after the Shah had been deposed. The family lost pretty much everything in Iran, but the lady herself was allowed to leave thanks to some kind of family influence. Fortunately, her two sons were both students at Imperial College in London. A flat in Little Venice had been bought as somewhere for them to live while studying. That became the home for the three of them and their little cat.

Of course, a mansion flat in Little Venice is hardly poverty (the pop group, Bros, were their nearest neighbours), but back in Iran they had had rural estates (near Shiraz, I think) and numbers of servants.

Nice people. They thought that my German friend, by then in her 60s, ate too little, and should be encouraged to eat. They were right: my old friend could not cook, and tended to subsist on bread (she liked, ironically, a Jewish bread with caraway seeds, bought locally), eaten with butter and a lot of salt, and washed down with lemon tea or sparkling water.

I still remember how nice the Persian food, cooked by that Persian lady, was. My friend used to share it with me, if I were around when it was delivered.

Small world: I was dining at the Persians’ one evening, for the first and last time in fact, in company with both my
German friend and her young (20-something) step-grand-daughter, when the subject of the contemporaneous Darius Guppy trial came up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Guppy]. The Persian family had known Guppy as a small boy, Guppy being half-Persian; the Persian lady referred to him as having been “a nice boy”.

Many years later, about 24 years in fact, in 2017, I gave a half-hour political-legal talk at the then-popular London Forum. Afterwards, who should come to to me and introduce himself but Darius Guppy. A personable fellow, who had the interesting knack of being able to appear as if from nowhere, then later disappear the same way…

I did not of course refer to his 1993 trial and imprisonment, but I did tell him about the Persians with whom I had been acquainted and who knew Guppy through having known his mother, a folk singer who was involved with a film that won an Oscar; I once owned one of her albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shusha_Guppy.

I mentioned to Guppy that, as an Amazon Top 50 reviewer, I had once reviewed his interesting memoirs, Roll the Dice, on Amazon (that being before the Jew-Zionist lobby had my very popular reviews expunged).

Guppy is or was a great friend of “Boris-idiot” (Boris Johnson), via their Eton and Oxford days.

As said, small world.

Thoughts out of season

Demographic collapse. Something that has engaged me for a number of years, perhaps triggered in part by my own increasing age (I was 70 in September 2026).

I notice that other thinkers into the future are also increasingly interested in the question; Nick Griffin for one (see his Substack blog).

In the part of the country where I live, on the southern coast of England, the ageing population is very evident. Not only in hospitals but also in supermarkets etc, it appears that almost everyone is well above retirement age. At 70, I should be considered “senior”, to put it politely, but (albeit that many think that I look many years younger than my real age) I at least feel fairly youthful compared to most of the shoppers around me, many of whom require sticks, Zimmer frames, mobility scooters etc.

Will robots save our society, or will they —literally— just support the aged as our whole society becomes totally sclerotic?

The crunch has not quite arrived. 2040?

Gloomy thoughts for a late-Autumnal day.

Both the First World War, and that of 1939-1945, did not start without a build-up. One sees the Western ruling circles and cabals pushing non-stop for conflict with Russia over (supposedly) the war between Russia and the Jew/Ukrainian-thug regime in Ukraine, a war which really has nothing to do, in its ground-reality, with the West, or NATO, let alone with the UK, which has never had more than peripheral contact with Ukraine over the past thousand years.

Were the West to stop supporting the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Kiev dictatorship with arms and money (etc), the war would fizzle out in weeks. However, that result does not interest the NWO/ZOG cabals which are fuelling the conflict.

The result may be that Russia is pushed and pushed until it strikes with its one real trump card, its nuclear arsenal, at the societies of Western and Central Europe.

The USA would probably strand back, not respond. In the final analysis, the NATO treaty is just a piece of paper. I doubt that the USA would want its 100 biggest cities destroyed for the sake of the cities and military/naval installations of Poland, Germany, France…or the UK (probably the most exposed country of all in some respects).

The Cold War has long vanished into history. There is now no Soviet Union, with an expansionist and Marxist-Leninist ideology.

(a number of tweeters saying that there is no magazine in place; true, in theory, though, there could still be a round “up the spout”).

One has to consider a. why Muslim women want to join the UK police; and b. why they want to join the specialist firearms units.

Cut off all help to the Kiev regime.

Welcome back, brave young woman.

Not completely historically correct, but the main point is valid.

Yes, there have been a large number of cases over the years and decades, in the USA, UK, and elsewhere, of “antisemitic” vandalism (and other types of incident) in fact perpetrated by Jews trying to bolster the “Jews are victims” narrative(s).

Stray thought

I happened to see, yesterday, a brief segment of some political discussion programme featuring the dim-witted Con Party MP, Joy Morrissey. I wrote a short piece about her last year:

“Ecce Joy Morrissey, “Conservative” fake, and MP for Beaconsfield

Translation: “I am not British. I was born in Indiana, and brought up in Ohio. I only came to the UK in the first place to get a degree at the LSE. I married an EU citizen, and then divorced him to marry another. I thereby got the legal right to stay in the UK. I also got the right to work in the UK, but in fact never exercised that right, except that I was briefly and totally unsuccessfully a soft-porn would-be actress. Never mind; my second husband has plenty of money, so I never needed, in 18 years, to get any real job or profession… I just played at Con Party politics— in a think tank, with a Con MP, and as a local Con Party councillor. I then tried, unsuccessfully, to be selected as Con Party candidate for Mayor of London. I did, however, eventually get selected for the safe Con seat at Beaconsfield, because the existing Con MP, Dominic Grieve, was expelled from Con Party by “Boris”-idiot, whom I supported. I have been MP since 2019. In those 6 years, I have accomplished absolutely nothing, and, despite Beaconsfield having been (before I was MP) a very safe seat, my vote at Beaconsfield has fallen from 56% in 2019 to 38% in 2024. I supported uneducated, uncultured and stupid nobody Liz Truss as PM (for 49 days) as well as “Boris”-idiot. I doubt that I will be MP for much longer, but in the meantime will continue to support Israel and its UK Jewish lobby, and support mass immigration, as well as blagging my unmerited and generous salary and expenses.”

[Joy Morrissey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Morrissey]

I lived for 6 months (2001-2002) at Higher Denham, Bucks, within the Beaconsfield constituency, so that idiot would have been my MP had I stayed in the area. At least Fate spared me that.“

The woman wants to destroy what is left of the Welfare State, and also throw money and other support at Israel and the Kiev regime dictatorship.

A total waste of space.

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

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

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

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

[“There is no “conversation” to have.

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

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

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

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

Well said.

“Is Paris burning?”…

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

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

Finally…

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

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

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

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

Late thought

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

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

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

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

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

Talking point

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16198861/falklands-furore-marine-machine-gun-migrant-boats.html

“The commander who led the land operation to liberate the Falklands has triggered a furore by saying that boats carrying migrants across the Channel should be machine-gunned.

‘I would shoot them,’ Major-General Julian Thompson told a documentary about mass immigration to Britain.

The Home Office warned today that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face ‘serious criminal consequences’, while the Tories stressed that ‘opening fire on migrant boats would be completely wrong‘

Maj Gen Thompson, 92, who headed 3 Commando Brigade during the conflict, said of the thousands of migrants who land on UK shores each month: ‘We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I’d shoot them, sorry, but I would.’

Asked if he feared a backlash to his remarks, Maj Gen Thompson said: ‘As long as they don’t come around here, I don’t mind what they do.

‘They come over here and rape our girls. One machine-gun blast is all it would take… then they would get the message. I just want them to bugger off. 

‘If they [the Government] don’t stop them then there will be a revolution. Our leaders are just wet.’

He also says Britain is ‘just going downhill’, adding: ‘I’m glad I won’t see it, I’ll be dead.

‘It’s not Britain any more, it’s a sort of funny conglomeration of people, and in a wet country that allows itself to be pushed around all over the place.'”

[Daily Mail]

General Thompson is quite right.

The General has earned the right, at age 92 and with his distinguished military background, to speak the truth regardless of the untruths all around the issues commented upon.

Gove and Lola Salem

[Lola Salem with Gove]

I had never heard of the defendant, Lola May Salem. Turns out that she is of Jewish or part-Jewish background, having written in The Critic magazine that, when a child in Nanterre, a low-income banlieue near Paris inhabited by many North Africans, her brother experienced “anti-Semitism”.

It may well be, speculating a little, that this Lola Salem is of pied-noir origin. Google AI has this: “A Pied-Noir (plural: Pieds-Noirs, meaning literally “black foot” in French) is a person of European descent—including French, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, and Sephardic Jewish origins—who was born or lived in French-ruled Algeria during the colonial period from 1830 to 1962.“

Many pieds-noirs who left Algeria in the early 1960s were of Jewish origin.

One can only imagine what that woman saw in Gove. Someone wealthy and still influential, one supposes. Fairly big age-gap (26 years: she is 33, he 59). Still, these things happen.

Incidentally, the restaurant where Lola Salem and Gove indulged in seafood and public displays of affection seems to have been Sheekey’s [https://j-sheekey.co.uk/our-history/], off St. Martin’s Lane in London. I used to walk past there occasionally. and always thought to try it out, but never did.

Gove must have liked Lola Salem a lot, looking at the prices: https://j-sheekey.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/JSheekey_Autumn-Menus_ALC-26_09_26.pdf

The wine list is pretty impressive, too.

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that one of the 5 tweets that got me disbarred in 2016 at the behest of the Jewish lobby (specifically “UK Lawyers for Israel”/”UKLFI” and, in the shadows, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”/”CAA”) was that describing Gove in some such terms as a dishonest expenses cheat and fraud, and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. All true, but that did not save me from a wrongful (and, it later turned out, actually unlawful) disbarment.

At that time (2016), I was unaware that Gove was also a cocaine abuser and, at times, a shambling drunk as well. That only emerged into public view later. He was even filmed on House of Commons TV staggering drunkenly into the Chamber, scarcely able to stand up, but the tweets showing that (I think, YouTube footage too) have disappeared. “They” must look after their puppets.

Well, I cannot comment on the Lola Salem criminal matter as such, firstly because it is now sub judice, but also because I know nothing about it anyway, and first heard of the matter —and the defendant herself— only a few hours ago.

I wonder whether Gove himself was questioned. Perhaps it will come out at the Lola Salem trial; we shall have to wait and see.

The Jewish thing seems to hang around Gove like a clinging cloud of smog. I have never been able to discover for sure the background of Gove’s estranged wife, Sarah Vine (they are separated but not yet divorced; something to do with “paperwork”, apparently…). I have my suspicions, but her origins seem shrouded in mystery.

Gove and Sarah Vine were married in 2001 (in France) and stayed together until 2022. 21 years of marriage. There has never been given, publicly, any specific reason why they split, which was apparently at Sarah Vine’s instigation. I believe that the split happened prior to Gove’s mesalliance or misalliance with Lola Salem, so what was the triggering event?

In fact, it was the Jewish lobby that got Gove into Parliament as an MP in the first place (he is now yet another absurd “lord” in the degraded House of Lords, and Editor of the Spectator). He remains a complete doormat for the Jewish lobby and for Israel.

Tweets seen

The mainstream media are now trying to hide the whole story, even the Daily Mail, which at first splashed it. The (((usual))) mob, of course. For example, the System scribbler Dan Hodges, usually prolific on Twitter/X, has not mentioned the case at all.

You see it whenever the Jew-Zionist lobby wants to cover up something (or amplify something, for that matter).

For example, when dishonest and incompetent solicitor, Mark Lewis was fined and censured by the Tribunal under the Solicitors Regulation Authority in 2018. At first, there was nothing at all about it in the msm, not prior to “trial”, and nothing afterwards but Jews complaining about how “unfair” the process and sentence had been.

In fact, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal bent over backwards to be fair to Lewis (now a wheelchair-bound invalid who lives in Israel much of the time) and even reduced his fine to a third or a quarter of what it would otherwise have been because Lewis’s own pro bono Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis had no assets at all beyond his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 per week, and a used mobility scooter. No money in the bank. No real property. Nothing.

Even Lewis’s car (one adapted for invalids) was one provided to him via the DWP Motability scheme (until he crashed into someone and, after that, ceased to drive).

Ecce the great defamation lawyer…

The point is that the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby effectively controls or very strongly influences almost all those who scribble for newspapers, edit them, or own them.

I was just looking at Twitter/X. The Lola Salem/Gove matter is not mentioned by Dan Hodges, Andrew Neil, Robert Peston, BBC News, Sky News etc, you name it. News blackout.

Yes, the criminal matter is now sub judice, but even the bare facts of the matter that would be reportable are not in fact being reported.

[“Rupert Lowe has unveiled Restore Britain’s six point plan to overhaul the NHS, calling for an end to mass immigration and tougher controls on access to British healthcare.

The proposals include removing medical school admission caps, prioritising British medical professionals, recruiting exceptional overseas specialists, introducing penalties for missed appointments and expanding private sector involvement to cut waiting lists.

Lowe also wants free hospital parking, an end to foreign language translation services, the abolition of NHS DEI programmes, reduced bureaucracy and stronger accountability for senior managers.

He argues that the NHS must prioritise British patients and that immigration is placing unsustainable pressure on services. Restore Britain says a more detailed healthcare policy is being developed.“]

Should, but will not. The Kiev regime is a cabal-dictatorship.

Loonie.

[“A little park has a Tom cat who is fed by everyone. Last year, he was given the name Silent King. He neither fights with anyone nor has he seen anyone getting scolded. He sits on a parking chair and watches the people coming and going.
One day, a white kitten came to the park. She was very cute, but it turned out that she was blind. She kept bumping into things and didn’t react to sounds at all.

She didn’t seem very lively when she was alone, but she wasn’t lonely either.
The Tom cat noticed her and started staying close to her. Wherever he went, he would walk in front of her so that she would bump into him. He took good care of her.

He would lead her to wherever he was, adjusting his speed so she could follow properly.

Whenever he would go to the road’s other side, he would cover her with his body.

Whenever it rained, he would take the kitten to a safe place and then sit with her.

The vet confirmed that the kitten was blind by birth. If the Tom cat hadn’t been there, she would have died within a week.

People tried to separate the kitten to adopt her, but both of them kept crying.
That’s why it was decided that the community would keep both of them together.
“]

Our animal friends.

Well, at least better than what the main System parties are offering.

Social-national Britain has to prepare to seize power without the formality of elections, the way things are going.

To destroy a whole city, its inhabitants, its animal population etc is a very bad thing to do, or have to do, but one wonders whether Europe really needs the city of Kiev at all.

When the state of Israel was created in 1948, a monster was born, created from the ghettoes, labour camps, and prisons of Europe as it was in or prior to the Second World War.

What is Gove afraid of? What are (((those))) behind Gove afraid of?

If that is really the Norwegian Ambassador to Ukraine, one finds it hard to characterize. An idiot, obviously. Decadent, presumably. I also find his age perlexing. I am, at 70 (last month), hardly young, and I do find ages hard to judge anyway, but that idiot looks like a schoolboy (and not a very intelligent one).

Typical. The vast monies effectively gifted to the Arabs (all the Arab oil states, not just the Saudis) by the West (whose people discovered the oil —and gas— and drilled for it, refined it, provided the markets for it, and shipped it) have been mainly wasted.

A thought out of season

I have been trying to avoid the seemingly endless recent msm coverage of whether the present King did or did not make a dismissive comment to Princess Diana’s brother, the present Earl Spencer, about the Prince’s then recently ex-wife in 1997.

The same goes for the similar blanket coverage of the return of the prodigal waste of space (the Harry formerly known as Prince) and Meghan Mulatta.

It occurs to me how typical all that hullabaloo is of Britain today, a country that is always looking back, not forward.

I myself have no interest at all in whether the then Prince Charles did or did not make the comment complained of. Likewise, I have no interest in whether or not “Harry”, Meghan Mulatta, and their offspring relocate to Sussex or anywhere else.

At the other end of the social scale, we have seen, again quite recently, the football stadium incident, Hillsborough, still making political news 37 years after it happened!

Britain once looked forward, but now mainly looks back, and mainly looks at very minor events or incidents (in the big scheme of things), or looks back with rose-tinted or blurred glasses.

The reason is obvious— Britain, unless it changes radically very very soon, has no future, at least not one any white Northern European wishes to live in.

Britain should leave NATO, and cultivate closer relations with Russia. This is not 1939. Britain would be irredeemably devastated, irradiated, poisoned, and finished off should even one or two of Russia’s 7,000 nuclear weapons hit our little islands.

“If I wuz a rich man…”…

I blogged about loonie New Zealand woman “Rachel from Piddington” yesterday. A white woman with black “partner” and mixed-race children who thinks that any danger to herself and the 350 other villagers of Piddington (Oxfordshire) emanates from English protesters (mostly her fellow-villagers) and not from the (up to) 3,500 black and brown migrant invaders from the most backward parts of the world, invaders who are soon going to be dumped very near that village.

(BBC and officialdom claims “only” 1,250 invaders will be dumped there, but that is probably a lie; 3,500 has also been mentioned).

This is what we mean by “migration invasion”.

[“The thing you have to remember about Third Worldism is that it is not confined to a particular race, religion or class. My critique, which is now totally mainstream and has spread like wildfire, is all-encompassing.

There are plenty of White Third Worlders from white-majority countries like Romania and Albania. There are White Third Worlders who are native Brits, like the idiot NGO blobocrats in Piddington, or Gypsy and Traveller groups who indulge in crime and clan-based violence. There are also non-White people from the Indian subcontinent who are fleeing their countries to escape Third Worldism. I respect these people and have no beef with them.

The Third Worldist critique will obviously involve visa bans from Third World countries, but it will also involve a recognition that this tendency is not confined to a particular race or religion. The key is very draconian laws to prevent such people from entering our society.

What about White Third Worlders? Well, punish them. I have zero solidarity with these people despite them sharing an ethnic heritage with me.”]

As the tweeter implies, Gypsies from mainland Europe (eg Roma from Romania) are not themselves white or European, being originally of Indian origin. Real Romanians despise them, and even the socialist government there from the late 1940s to 1989 found it impossible to get them to live decently.

Incidentally, I still see newspapers in the UK referring to the many Roma Gypsies committing every type of crime in the UK as “Romanian“, just because they have Romanian passports, which is a terrible slur on the real Romanians.

Britain 2026

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16144141/Illegal-migrant-Deliveroo-rider-raped-woman-dragged-street.html

“An illegal migrant Deliveroo rider who dragged a woman off the street ‘like a ragdoll’ before raping her has been jailed for 21 years.

Following the vicious assault, which left his victim feeling ‘destroyed’, Salem Rekoub, 28, was caught on CCTV wearing his turquoise uniform and smirking as he followed her ambulance to hospital, because he wanted to ‘get to the woman again’.

Rekoub, who was dubbed a public danger by the judge, arrived in Britain on a tourist visa in 2023. He did not have the right to work in the UK.”

The bastard should be put up against a wall. In public. Wall. Squad. End.

As with so many cases of the sort, the victim was intoxicated in public, incapable by reason of drink.

Perhaps “Rachel from Piddington” would like to read that report. That is just one migrant-invader bastard. 3,500 others may soon be living alongside her village. If she is OK with that, she really is loonie, even by the standards of so many New Zealand women.

Incidentally, the vlog post below was just sent to me by a blog reader. It echoes, in part, what I wrote on the blog a day or so ago:

The “looming threat” of war comes entirely from the “Western” (NWO/ZOG) side. Russia is reacting to “Western” aggression, in particular the arming and funding of the corrupt Zelensky Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug dictatorship in Kiev. In the well-worn phrase, “don’t poke the Bear“…

Goodwin is right to say “who will fight for Britain?“, meaning for the present decadent set-up in the UK. Obviously not the blacks and browns. Obviously not the Muslim element. Obviously not the Jewish element. That leaves real British men (women are still rarely on or near the front-line, if that term still means anything in an age of hypersonic nuclear missiles).

Why should British men fight for what Britain is becoming, a society that demonizes them for being white European (and even male)?

There is also the point that many of the younger Brits have been brainwashed at state schools and even fee-paying schools with what amounts to anti-British propaganda, “Black Lives Matter” rubbish etc. They have been told that there is little to be proud of in British history, except the war against the German Reich (ironically, one of the most negative aspects of our national history).

Death of a nobody

https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/sep/01/hrh-helch-the-graffiti-artist-who-left-an-indelible-mark-on-high-rise-britain

Why does it not surprise me that a disgusting vandal, a graffiti “artist”, who has died at 34 of causes not as yet made public (my two main guesses being either from drug overdose, or from suicide because the said “artist” vandal realized that, despite daubing his chosen name everywhere —I see that his real name was something else— he was a nobody) is eulogized by a Jewish scribbler in the Guardian?

As a matter of fact, I myself have never seen his graffiti anywhere.

Graffiti has been around a long time. There are examples from the times of the Romans, and even the ancient Egyptians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti. The degree to which it has been tolerated, historically, is a matter of dispute.

The fact is that modern graffiti can only be described as criminal visual violence, a fact implied by the Guardian’s Jewish scribbler, when, at the end of his little piece, he expresses his liking for the fact that it costs people much money to remove the meaningless scrawls (passing as art, at least to cretins).

The graffiti vandal is seeking to impose his assumed name on the public, to be therefore somehow “known”, a well-known “somebody”. In the end, though, most graffiti “art” is the realm of the untalented, the nobodies.

See also: https://metro.co.uk/2026/08/30/mysterious-graffiti-legend-helch-upset-queen-elizabeth-dies-29495835/ (another scribbler apparently impressed by both the deceased and the graffiti “community”).

Incidentally, while I do usually abide by the Latin maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum (“of the dead, nothing but good“), there are —and have to be— exceptions.

The mainstream media outlets are suffused with decadence. They should be purged.

When mainstream people with a platform start promoting the decadent and/or evil, society is sliding (as happened in Russia before the Revolution, incidentally). It has been ever more obvious post-1945 that that is the way America, Britain, indeed the West generally, has been going (and much of the world has followed suit).

[“The now-famous photograph of an SAS operator on January 15, 2019. A single member of the UK’s 22 SAS Regiment moving to respond to a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 Hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya.

He was in the country teaching foreign internal defense to Kenyan special forces when al-Shabaab attackers hit the complex, grenades first, then a suicide vest, then gunfire on the guests inside. There was no time to form a proper team and nothing more than the kit he was already wearing.

He entered the compound alone, balaclava on, a shield badge identifying him as law enforcement to those he passed. He joined Dan Prastalo, a Slovenian with the diplomatic protective services, and the two of them started clearing the office block and car-park buildings floor by floor while the attack was still underway.

The siege lasted more than 12 hours before Kenyan forces declared the site secure. 21 civilians died. For what he did that day he later received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain’s second highest award for gallantry in action. Unusually for a serving SAS soldier, his name eventually became public: Christian Craighead.

One man, on his own, in another country, with no order sending him in and every reason to stay out. He went in anyway.

What goes around comes around. It is basic. If the malicious idiots posing as political leaders in France, the UK, Germany etc keep hitting Russia, using the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev as proxy then, sooner or later, Russia will hit back, either directly or indirectly.

[“Iran has not yet revealed its full military potential.

According to available information, Iran’s military arsenals already include tactical nuclear warheads, and these are not newly developed models. It is claimed that the corresponding systems were developed and produced much earlier.

Iran also possesses particularly powerful non-nuclear missile warheads. One such system has unofficially been dubbed the “Resurrection Bomb.” Its warhead weighs approximately four tons and has a high destructive power.

Previously, the adversary, it is claimed, obtained intelligence about the alleged location of tactical nuclear warheads and struck the corresponding facility. However, the information provided turned out to be incorrect, and the alleged storage facility was not hit.

According to these reports, tactical nuclear warheads are present in significant quantities and are integrated into the country’s existing missile capabilities.

Therefore, the current exchange of missile strikes is seen as only a limited portion of the available capabilities. The main potential may be used in the event of an immediate threat to the existence of the state.

In such a scenario, according to the available data, Iran possesses both particularly powerful missile systems and tactical nuclear warheads. That is why, when it is said that Iran has not yet used its full military potential, this should be taken literally.“]

[“Ukraine: the video embarrassing Kiev, filmed by Swedish television itself A few seconds before SVT’s live broadcast from central Kiev, Bengt Norborg’s team’s camera captures a scene to say the least brutal: several men pounce on a Ukrainian and forcibly bundle him into a van. The most embarrassing thing for Kiev? It’s not an anonymous video from Telegram.

It’s Swedish public television that filmed the scene.

It’s their own correspondent who notes that a man has just been arrested to be mobilized.

And SVT itself describes a hunt conducted day and night in Ukrainian streets. (SVT Nyheter) According to SVT, up to two million men are trying to evade mobilization within the country, while recruitment service and police patrols continue to search for them.“]

To be forcibly “recruited” by the goons of the Kiev regime is as good as a death sentence. The regime is losing 1,000-2,000 men per day on its crumbling front lines.

Meanwhile, the recent ballistic missile attacks on Kiev have (as predicted on the blog some time ago) made the point that Russia will not tolerate the daily escalation by the Kiev side in attacks on Russian civilian areas. Russian patience is now wearing very thin, I think.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians. The Russian side has hit Ukrainian civilians mostly as collateral damage (not that that makes it any the more bearable for the victims) but the Kiev regime is deliberately targeting Russian civilians; their homes, hospitals, warehouses, school buses etc.

So the Kiev regime is currently sending about 350 drones every day, and that is only to the Moscow region.

[“It has become clear why the video of the victims was blurred in Ukraine, following the Iskander strike with a cluster munition component on trucks near Kyiv in Boryspil.

In the photos taken inside the burned-out trucks, you can see transport and launch systems for long-range drones, specifically the FP-2.”]

Leaving aside that lady’s own fantasy political party, the “Moderates”, I agree with the rest of that.

If Russia, the United States, and China one day agree on a new transportation and economic model, many British brokerage firms will become unnecessary.

Trump began fighting for transportation corridors. He not only expelled China from Venezuela, but also Chinese port companies from the Panama Canal. He closed it. Trump is also controlling the current Suez Canal crisis with the help of Israel. Things are more complicated with China, but he has secured control of the European market.”]

[“A glorious day for opponents of transparency in public life.

MPs have removed the names of their parliamentary staff from a decades-old public register – meaning we do not know who these people are and are left to accept the word of their employer when they say (as in the case of the prime minister, here) that said staff do not have any outside earnings or private interests.

“All staff have confirmed they have no registrable interests”: oh, well that’s that then.

No way of determining if true; no way of finding out if MPs employing family members; no way for anyone other than MPs themselves to uphold standards or examine who is operating in the Palace of Westminster on their behalf.

The decision was driven by … you guessed it … MPs themselves, following behind-closed-door consultations with staff trade union representatives – not media or anti-corruption organisations.

Echoes of the time that decided among themselves – with nil meaningful debate – to exempt themselves from the centuries-old system by which those arrested would be named before the Commons.

Parliament being sovereign it is always free to take such steps without consultation or engagement with the public – the hope is they decide not to abuse their positions and proactively seek criticism or counter-views.

In this instance, sadly, MPs have demonstrated they cannot be trusted to do so – they have put us out of step with comparable democracies without anything approaching scrutiny.“]

There is little discussion about the necessity to preserve the familiarity of the mental landscape in relation to the high streets. Bank branches, post offices, police stations.

Then, Trump secretly disembarked from the plane and was transported to a military transport aircraft, the C-32A, in a special vehicle used for transporting and loading catering supplies.

Meanwhile, Air Force One, carrying journalists and some members of the presidential team, took off towards the United Kingdom to maintain the impression that Trump was on board.“]

“Violent youths subjected a man and a woman to a shocking unprovoked city centre attack over a “harmless” comment. The victims walked past some teenagers sitting in a doorway and the woman remarked that they had a nice cool place to sit on a hot night.

Some of them took umbrage at that and it quickly escalated into violence, with then-16-year-old Thomas Courtney and two girls attacking her and leaving her injured. Courtney and then-15-year-old Lincoln Hudson then subjected her friend to a brutal attack in which he was repeatedly punched and kicked, including to the head after he fell to the ground, leaving him unconscious

Newcastle Crown Court heard both victims have been badly affected by the attack, with the man having become so depressed he tried to kill himself. However Courtney and Hudson have now been spared immediate custodial sentences after the court heard they have turned their lives around in the three years since the attack.“

[Chronicle Live]

Regular readers of the blog know that I am not a “hanger and flogger” (usually). Is that result justice for the victims, and/or for society, though? I think not.

Even if, as their Counsel claimed —and which I doubt— those youths have “turned their lives around” in the (absurd delay) three years since the attack, the court should have ordered them both to pay ongoing compensation for life to the victims. £10 per week to each victim, and from each defendant.

Admittedly, it is now 18 years (2008) since I was in active Bar practice, I was never really a serious criminal practitioner (though I did a number of Crown Court trials and many many magistrates’ court ones in my early days, meaning the early 1990s) and I concede that I do not know whether the courts even have such a power, in those exact terms, but if not they should have.

Well, there it is. Britain 2026, in which people are still being prosecuted and even imprisoned for tweets and other online comments…

Incidentally, I was just looking at other sentences handed down by the Crown Courts of the North-East. One was a man who shook his own child, a baby, so violently that it suffered “catastrophic and lifechanging injuries“. He had taken cocaine, and drunk no less than 11 cans of lager. He failed to summon timely medical help. Sentence? 4 years (so out in 2 years, or less). This is not justice.

Water supply, on the large scale, should be a nationalized industry, and the chief director of it should certainly not be paid more than half a million pounds gross (pre-tax), if that.

The featured woman fat cat was not even the director of all UK water supply, just that of one region of the country.

I think that there is a case for capping all salaries at some level to be determined, which might be something like £200,000 or £300,000 net (i.e. post-tax etc). That includes other kinds of remuneration.

[“In the 26 companies that operate a third of all of the care homes in this country, 200 MILLION pounds leaks out of that sector in the form of management fees for private investors. That’s an astronomical sum that is not going to improving care or paying workers a fair wage, but is instead lining the pockets of wealth investors, often from overseas.

Social care is not a cash cow. It is a critical public service, limping along as its lifeblood is drained by private interests. Getting profiteers out of care is not a nice-to-have measure. It is a crucial starting point that any meaningful reform of the sector must build from.”]

As the Americans say, that surely is a “no-brainer”. I featured, some time ago, on the blog, a news report about some inept armed robbers who targeted the house, in the wealthy Sandbanks neighbourhood of Dorset, of a director/owner of a number of care homes.

The robbers threatened the man’s wife and daughter (he was at work) and, though unable to force the women to open the safe, still got away with about £300,000 in cash and jewels. They were caught not long after that, and had left enough evidence behind them to ensure a conviction and long sentences of imprisonment.

What interested me about that report, apart from the great ineptitude of the criminals, was the fact that despite having been unable to access the safe, they still escaped with hundreds of thousands of pounds, much of it in cash. Does that not raise a number of red flags?

These exploitative private care homes, that charge the elderly or their families huge amounts yet pay their staff peanuts (and often offer residents poor food and care), are a social crime as far as I am concerned.

“Two men who attacked a frail 82-year-old antique weapons collector in his own home have been jailed. Andrew Paull and Nathan Flower burst into the home of the pensioner, who is now 85, as he slept in bed.

Truro Crown Court heard Paull, 49, and Flower, 33, struck him multiple times with a machete as he tried to get out of bed. The pair demanded they wanted his safe keys, believing he had gold and cash in it.

In fact, the safe was empty and the elderly man was pushed down the stairs at his property in Penrice Park, St Austell, in April 2024. They fled with £350 in cash, bank cards and some keys.

The victim suffered cuts to his face, hand and wrist and was left in what a judge called a “quite pathetic state” and a “broken man”. Paull, of no fixed abode, and Flower, of Basset Road, Camborne, admitted wounding.

The court heard drugs had blighted the lives of both defendants. Judge James Adkin jailed them both for 27 months and said they used “intimidating violence against a vulnerable individual in his own home”.

[Cornwall Live]

Can anyone reading that report think that a mere 27 months was a suitably severe sentence for having broken into the home of an 82-y-o pensioner as he slept, hit him repeatedly with a machete, threatened him, robbed him, then pushed him down a flight of stairs?

Frankly, that sentence is a travesty, a disgrace, and that Judge Adkin, whoever he is (I had not previously heard of him), should be ashamed of himself.

I have no idea what the defendants’ “previous” might have been, but odds-on they both have records as long as the arm of the law [used to be].

What makes that wholly inadequate sentence even more disgraceful is that the convicts will actually serve no more than half of the headline time, so about 13 months, and very likely even less than that.

I have, as previously noted, never been a “hanger and flogger” but, as far as I am concerned, such vicious crimes deserve a flogging, and a mercilessly harsh one. (yes, of course I know that our laws do not now provide for such a sentence; they should do, in cases of such viciousness).

At a sentencing at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court on Friday (July 17) of the 50-year-old from The Mount in Par, magistrates described the attack as a “brutal and sustained assault” leaving the victim with broken glasses and his car shunted across the road.

Sentencing Scrafton to 52 weeks in prison, suspended for two years, the magistrates said: “This was an unprovoked attack of a serious nature. It was a horrific incident, where a vehicle was used as a weapon to ram the victim’s vehicle three times.

“The defendant then savagely beat the victim with eight blows, breaking his glasses, which was a brutal and sustained assault and the victim’s car was shunted across the road with a vehicle being used in dangerous manner.

“The victim suffered physical and psychological harm and has been impacted dramatically and continues to suffer anxiety.“

A suspended sentence, for that? Unbelievable.

Not that I believe in over-sentencing, though. In fact, over-sentencing is the major cause (apart from this poor country being swamped by non-Europeans) for the serious shortage of prison space. Time after time I see (in the newspapers) people getting 2, 3, even 4 years for crimes which really merit months not years (if any time at all); and that is so regardless of the fact that most prisoners now serve only 50%, 40% or, in some cases, 30% of the headline sentences.

You heard it first here. I have been blogging for years about how Labour would “solve” the small boats invasion by rubberstamping entry for the fake “refugees” either in France or even in their home countries.

As it is, 80% of “asylum” applications are approved. Burnham and his cabal will raise that to 95%. The rest will either be deported, or not, but will probably return down the line with different cover stories.

Same goes for the “asylum hotels”. They are being shut. Fine, but to where are the migrant invaders being transferred? To private rental properties, and to social housing which should be for British people only.

Even beyond that, 90% or 95% of the migrant-invaders are here superficially legally, as “tourists”, “family members”, or as “students”, or on work visas (mostly granted on fraudulent applications), and/or as fiancees, spouses etc.

Another aspect of the invasion consists of births to non-white women and to stupid white women impregnated by non-whites.

Talking point

τιμωρία γάρ ἐστι τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς μὴ ἐθέλουσιν ἄρχειν τὸ ὑπὸ χειρόνων ἄρχεσθαι

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

[Plato, The Republic]

“The passage above is drawn from The Republic, Book I, 347c–e.

Here Plato has Socrates set forth why the best men enter political life, that is, why they enter into the life of the polis, the city understood as a body politic. Politics, in the Greek sense, is not reducible to factional struggle. It concerns the ordering of the common life.

To withdraw from it entirely is to become, in the older sense, an idiōtēs, from which the modern word “idiot” ultimately derives: the merely private man, severed from the obligations of citizenship and the responsibilities they entail.

For this reason, rule properly belongs to those with the capacity to govern. Such men cannot withdraw from civic responsibility without permitting a greater injustice: the rise of inferior men who possess neither the strength of mind nor the force of character required to govern.“

If Section 219/1217of the NDAA becomes law, we will have surrendered our Constitutional Republic to the Zionists. It will literally be the end of our country as we know it. When I was travelling to Israel on a regular basis back in the mid- to late-1990’s as part of my duties with the United Nations, I was always struck by how closely many Israelis identified with the United States. On national holidays, many Israeli motorists would fly two little plastic flags from the windows of their cars—one the blue and white Star of David, and the other the Stars and Stripes. “We see ourselves as little America”, my Israeli host would explain when I pointed this out. The reality was far different. The Israelis conspired against their American counterparts behind their backs, and the US intelligence and security services viewed Israel as a threat to US national security.

At one or another time, both Reform and Restore looked promising, but neither is social-national, so both are now deflating, though Reform may still become either the Government or the Opposition after the next general election, though not via its own merit but by default.

What is required is not to shrink the State but to utilize State assets and tax monies properly.

[“Professor Marandi (Tehran):

  • Piers, allow me to offer some advice. I’m not going to debate who is right or wrong – Russia or Ukraine – right now. That’s not the point. I simply want to say that your media outlets have been misleading the public for two years, constantly claiming that Ukraine is winning. And then suddenly, it turns out that it is on the verge of collapse. Imposing false narratives ultimately becomes a disaster for yourselves – for the people of England, Europe, and America. Your endless wars, which are based on these false narratives and disinformation, create massive waves of refugees that are overwhelming your own countries. And all of this is happening because of your own actions.

Saturday quiz

Well, 8/10 this week, thus trumping the 5/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 6 and 7.

[“Excl: Whitehall officials are growing concerned about how little time Andy Burnham has spent in Downing Street since becoming Prime Minister.

At a Cabinet Office all-staff meeting earlier this week, First Secretary Louise Haigh even joked No10 was “extremely distressed” by how often the PM was away from the building – before stressing it was because he was “so dedicated and committed” to getting out around the country and delivering his agenda.

Haigh also told officials to “take your cue from the Prime Minister’s ambition”, saying he was “not the kind of politician that has to have a full plan before he starts diagnosing the problems in the country”.

She urged civil servants to bring forward ideas “no matter how risky or politically unpalatable it seems” and to “put it in front of us and let’s thrash it out”.]

Ah. So Burnham is “so dedicated and committed to getting out and around the country and delivering his agenda” yet actually has no real agenda, so what his travelling around really means is his showing off and spouting meaningless hot air. Pathetic.

Also, if this latest government of clowns has a supposed or worked-out “agenda”, why would they be asking civil servants to come up with ideas? Because Burnham and his cronies have none?

It sounds very much as if the mindset is “Britain needs a way forward but we have no idea what that should even be, let alone how to achieve it“…

Utterly pathetic.

Further thought: while, in strict British Constitutional theory, there is nothing to prevent Burnham becoming an MP “by arrangement”, then simply taking over as Prime Minister, in the real political world he will not be thought of, by most voters, as really legitimate until and unless he holds a general election.

At present, despite Labour now overhauling Reform UK in some opinion polls, it is quite likely that any early general election would result in Labour losing about half its present 405 MPs. If it were to reduce its numbers anywhere below 326, it will be seen as, and indeed would be, a lame duck government.

That is Burnham’s dilemma. At present, he seems to be against holding a general election, but unless he can pull a rabbit out of the hat soon, Labour will be toast (again).

Labour’s polling numbers will probably start to decline (again) before long.

[“Fox News, citing a new chart, announced that approximately two-thirds of the United States’ 2,330 Patriot missiles, held before a potential war with Iran, have been expended, reducing the US Army’s air defense system reserves to about 800 missiles!

Additionally, according to information released by Fox News, half of the U.S. THAAD air defense system’s reserves have also been consumed.“]

Bad news for the USA, Israel, and the Kiev regime, as well as the fake “states” of the Gulf; good news for both Iran and Russia.

Jesus H. Christ! This is what Europe is facing— an invasion by barbaric untermenschen. Mow them down.

Look at the underlying disease, not merely the symptom(s).

Not one, however, who “struts his stuff” vulgarly; an English gentleman who, however, has ideas and principles, and some steel…

[“Collectivism is an evolutionary behaviour that enables people to survive things that they could never survive as individuals, and to develop civilisations and higher forms of living.

Whereas extreme individualism, in nature, is the reserve of primitive creatures and organisms.

The consequence of this is that collectivist societies and political forces will always dominate, in the long term, over individualistic and Liberal ones because they have, on average, an intelligence advantage.

The kind of neo-liberal hyper-capitalist individualism that exists on the ‘right’ today is a consequence of dysgenic societies that have facilitated the survival of people who in previous times would have either died or been killed off due to their selfishness and greed.

This is why Thatcherite, neoliberal politics is a dead end – it has no future because in times of real political crisis evolution kills it off.”]

Of the several leaders of small nationalist parties in the UK at present, Yerbury stands out by reason of his powers of analysis and reason. His views seem to be quite similar to my own, in general, and from what I have read of them, so that is, of course, a strong recommendation for me.

Well worth reading.

“Refugees welcome” dimwits and virtue-signallers who got what they deserved but also inflicted the same on their fellow-citizens. Poundshop traitors.

Our animal friends.

The behaviour of many of the [Israeli] Jews is so appalling that even a Jewish Zionist scribbler is pained by their sadism and cruelty.

I have taken very little interest in the Manchester mayoral election circus. I just looked at the winner, one Bev Craig [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bev_Craig], a lesbian who sees no problem with the migration invasion (despite Manchester having been hit very hard by it).

Incidentally, why do so many female MPs, especially Labourites, call themselves by funny-peculiar diminutives (“Bev”, “Cat” etc)?

That tweet is right. People are not going to vote, many or even most of them, and the reason is because they hate and/or despise the parties standing. In the Manchester case, they had no faith, and were right to have no faith, in either Reform or Restore, let alone the System parties.

Why then did Labour win, albeit by getting 47% on a 25% turnout, i.e. by getting only about 12% of all eligible voters’ votes? Simple. “Ethnic” (non-white) voters, and/or public service worker voters.

Put simply, about 88% of the people of Manchester did not want Labour enough to vote for the new not-a-lady mayor.

John Cleese once again proves that he is invertebrate (has no backbone).

90% of the time when there is something rotten in the body politic, “they” are behind it somewhere.

Translates to a Commons with about 303 Labour MPs (about 23 short of a majority, and therefore requiring Labour to compact with the LibDems, or SNP, or both); 160 Reform UK MPs (official Opposition); 72 LibDems; 59 Cons; 24 SNP; 8 Greens [etc].

Perhaps social nationalism will rise up in 2033, 100 years after 1933…
