My assessment of Macron from 2019:

The Kiev regime seems to be losing, every day, on average, about 1,000 men (killed, wounded badly enough to be taken out of the front-line, or captured); an unknown number, thought to be high, desert on any one day. There are now no volunteers, only those kidnapped off the streets and forced on pain of death to “serve”.

The Kiev regime is on the brink of catastrophic military collapse in Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

A recent assessment I saw about the mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” cabal (amateur —though paid— snoopers and propagandists): https://restorationist.org.uk/how-long-can-the-cps-ignore-hope-not-hates-criminality/.

Should any new readers require information about the dishonest and incompetent Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis (of Eilat, Israel), please use the blog’s search box.

Lewis is or was a “Patron” of the malicious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel org and fake charity (effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London), the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which is the private prosecutor in several recently-initiated and current minor criminal cases, such as those against the black comedian Reginald D. Hunter, and against Professor David Miller.

Wealthy UK-based Jews and opaque Israeli funders have recently provided the “CAA” with well over £600,000 to bring contrived criminal cases privately in England.

My own experiences (a selection out of many more) of the “CAA” and the informally-connected “UKLFI” (UK Lawyers for Israel):

The Jewish/Israel lobby has been assiduous in having had removed a great deal of damaging online material about Lewis: fraudulent and other dishonest conduct when acting as a solicitor (including cheating clients out of money); Lewis’s sheer incompetence as a lawyer in both (at first) Manchester and (after 2009) London.

Some is still to be found online, though: Lewis’s attempts (with his present wife/carer, Mandy Blumenthal) to make both Jew-Zionist publicity (re. contrived “antisemitism”) and money (“compensation” for supposedly hurt feelings) via planned stunts, such as the one against Kuwait Airways some years ago, and the one that badly-backfired at a show put on by that black comedian, Reginald D. Hunter, at the Edinburgh Fringe last year.

https://www.thejc.com/news/kuwait-airways-pays-damages-to-woman-barred-from-buying-ticket-at-heathrow-for-being-israeli-c1vcjc8o.

Lewis and Mandy Blumenthal made money both ways out of that Kuwait Airways scam: she got “compensation” (for nothing) running into tens of thousands of pounds, while Lewis got a similar amount by acting, notionally, as her lawyer in the non-existent “case”. In reality, the whole thing was, in ordinary language, a fraud.

I covered that last particular Lewis scam on the blog last year:

The scam failed, but now we have that black comedian being privately criminally prosecuted by the “CAA” fanatics, of whom Lewis himself is, of course, one!

Other material about Mark Lewis is also now hard to find online. I mentioned a couple of items on the blog a few days ago, such as Lewis’s physical and mental abuse of his second wife, the one-time minor (very minor) “celebrity” and sometime local radio presenter, Caroline Feraday (they married in, I believe, 2012, but divorced in 2013, about a year after the glitzy wedding, which was well-covered by tame Jewish scribblers in several newspapers and magazines; the divorce was scarcely covered anywhere, though).

More material about Lewis and Caroline Feraday can be found via the search box, but Caroline Feraday has now deleted her original Twitter/X account (which, like that of Lewis, pretended to have tens of thousands of —in fact, merely bought— Twitter/X “followers).

Lewis was, incidentally, married to his first wife in Manchester (from where he originated), but they divorced sometime around 2009 or 2010.

Ex-wife of an ex-MP (Con Party) thinks that the way back for the “Conservative” Party is to hit pensioners again, give more money to pseudo-green “climate change” nonsense, and beg to re-enter the EU.

Bearing in mind that pensioners have, in recent years, provided well over half of Conservative Party votes, and that Brexit-favouring voters have also heavily supported the Con Party over the past decade, that prescription would seem to leave the Cons adrift in heavy seas. https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/49978-how-britain-voted-in-the-2024-general-election.

There is no logic to any of that.

I doubt that Israel has anything “on” Goodwin of a personally-discreditable nature, but Goodwin knows that, if he as much as voices one mild criticism of Israel’s behaviour, or that of the UK Jew-Zionist lobby, that’s him gone, so to speak.

The Wallis Simons individual went to Israel from the UK to join the Israeli armed forces, then suddenly was found travelling around Asia etc, and without any obvious sign (other than his appearance) of his Jewish/Israeli orientation. Why? What? How?

One can speculate, but hard information is not easy to find.

Britain is housing a “fifth column”. That fifth column must be rooted out. Es muss ausgerottet werden!

When I first visited Qatar, in very early 2001, I was being driven in a Qatar Airways limousine to my aircraft (by reason of my travelling First Class) when I noticed that Air Force Two, the conveyance at the time of General Colin Powell, was parked next to the Qatari plane. Obviously (in retrospect) there to talk about Iraq etc.

The US-Qatari connection is not new.

“Illegal” migration is about 5%. What about the other 95%, Goodwin?

Incidentally, Goodwin, your craven obeisance to Israel and the UK Jewish lobby has shot your credibility. Pity…

The Middle East can only see lasting peace under a long-term supervening imperium, as under Alexandrine Greeks, Romans, and their successors.

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.

Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”

[Daily Mail]

Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.

Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

More Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/dozens-killed-in-gaza-waiting-for-food-trucks-says-health-ministry

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.

At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.

Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.

The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

[Guardian]

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.

As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.

I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.

So…Israeli Jews killing children and others from the air. Of course, the Jews say that noticing such facts about their behaviour constitutes a so-called “blood libel”

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?

Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.

What are swifts and why are they in trouble?

The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.

The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.

What are the prospects for swifts?

Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.

A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.

Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

Well, we shall soon know.

Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

(make that “40 years on…”)

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]

Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.

However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.

So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.

Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.

In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President. It also just goes to show that having a load of degrees and endorsements does not mean that someone is really educated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz#Foreign_affairs.

Just another Israel/Jewish lobby puppet, of course.

You can see that Ted Cruz is a useless waste of space by just looking at him, or listening to him for a minute or two.

Ah…

No comment necessary.

He says it with a straight face. Do “they” ever tell the truth?

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.

Stray thought

Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…

I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?

The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).

Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Iran is defending itself. Israel is the aggressor. Israel attacked without declaration of war and without any warning, and Israel drew first blood.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

Everything is paralyzed. Everything is at a standstill. The economy is at a standstill, you can’t live like this. I don’t think Israeli society will be able to tolerate this situation for long.

We feel safe in public shelters, but not everyone has access to these shelters. There are many people who have no shelter from danger.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…

Talking point

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/westminster-must-fall

Dominic Cummings delivered a Pharos Lecture in Oxford this week on why western regimes are in crisis. Here is an edited transcript of his speech:

The old political parties, the old Whitehall institutions, the old media, the old universities, the old courts constitute a political regime. This regime has become cancerous. The cancer has metastasised and the cancer is attacking everything healthy in the country; all the healthy institutions and healthy impulses are the target of Whitehall.

If you imagine our ancestors who built our civilisation over generations, looking at a sample of recent years, what would they see? They’d see the regime fighting to maintain secrecy of the vast cover-up of industrialised mass rape of white English children by Pakistani and Somali gangs over decades, while Whitehall continues to import people from the exact same tribal areas responsible.

The system just rumbles on with its own priorities

In January, Number Ten Downing Street claimed that Elon Musk was spreading conspiracy theories about national cover-ups. This is wrong. I witnessed the attempts at these cover-ups myself when I was in working in Whitehall – including the deliberate attempt by government departments to use courts to block reporting of the entire story.”

[Spectator]

I agree with much of what Cummings says (in the whole published speech); not all.

It is clear that his overall view is correct. The System (System political parties, System civil servants, System legal drones, System mainstream media etc) is indeed now toxic, and is killing both European race and European culture, and not in the UK alone.

Incidentally, I wrote about Cummings himself a few times in the past:

Cummings makes a good argument overall, though.

Israel and its population, including its diasporic population, are out of control.

In fact, it seems that Israeli attacks on Iran have already begun.

Talking point

Of course, these days in the UK, people cannot be identified as Roma Gypsies; they must always be referred to as “Romanians”, which is both inaccurate and, also, insulting to real Romanians.

A similar pathology is seen in the reporting about the dreadful Air India crash a couple of days ago. We are told that, among the hundreds of dead in the crash, 53 were “British”. What that means, of course, is that 53 were Indians who had British passports. As the Guardian put it: “British man is sole survivor of Air India plane crash that left more than 260 dead. On Thursday night, Air India confirmed that 241 of those on board had been killed in the crash, with a Briton, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor.”

Another example of this distorting-mirror is when German soldiers, sailors, or airmen of WW2 are referred to, even in large contingents, as “Nazis” (National Socialists). Thus we might read (or hear on the BBC) that such and such number of “Nazi ships” were in a sea battle, or that “Nazi armies” did this or that.

In fact, 8M Germans belonged to the NSDAP in WW2, about a tenth of the population (in 1933, the number was “only” 2M): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#Membership.

Incidentally, you can see “the usual” (((the usual))) influence in that Wikipedia piece, with the article itself headed as “Nazi Party“, not “National Socialist Party” or “NSDAP”. As many readers will know, the term “Nazi” was coined by the disgraceful anti-Hitler scribbler Konrad Heiden (a half-Jew) as an insult, rather like “Stasi“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Heiden.

In the UK and elsewhere, truth is something “not wanted on voyage”. It embarrasses the liars of the msm and political milieu.

Israeli attack on Iran

[“Witkoff warns of deadly Iranian response to Israeli attack!! The American news portal Axios, citing one of the high-ranking US officials:

A White House envoy privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran could retaliate with heavy casualties.

Witkoff sounded the alarm about what might happen in the future, saying Iran’s response could destroy Israel’s defenses.

The US is concerned that Israel’s air defense system will not be able to cope with a massive Iranian response, including hundreds of missiles.

U.S. intelligence estimates that Iran has 2,000 ballistic missiles with warheads capable of carrying more than 2,000 pounds of explosives. Israel is within range of many of these missiles.

The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) is expected to visit Israel on Saturday for talks with senior political and military officials over Iran.“]

Toxic.

The bastard (Starmer-stein) spoke the truth for once…(only to retract it).

A straw in the wind

I happened to be somewhere not far from my home (coastal southern England) and passed two men talking. As I walked past, I caught a sentence or two of the conversation. One man (about 55, perhaps) was saying to the other that “it will not be long before civil war starts in this country“. Interesting…

Not a traditional type of civil war, at an educated guess. Not a typical “race war” or ethnic conflict either, but more of a multiform civil/racial/social/cultural war, and one with more than two sides; perhaps several, or even many, sides.

I shall be watching events with keen interest.

My own hope is, shall I say, rather different from that of the lady tweeter.

Who would have thought that there would be commercial flights from Rijeka (Croatia) to Tel Aviv in the first place? Rijeka has only about 51,000 inhabitants.

Quite, but Netanyahu’s arrogant sense of entitlement is so typical of “them” (((them)))…

We are Aryans by origin, not Semitic (of either type).

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil sprite. Even taking the money transfers at face value, what an incredible blow to the peoples of the EU states. The EU is in economic doldrums partly, perhaps largely, because of the monies wasted on the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev regime.

It seems that Arab states such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia are actually helping to defend the Jewish state of Israel. After the history of the past 70+ years! Others may disagree with me, but as far as I am concerned, I would never trust an Arab with anything.

When you pair that with the ever-increasing proportion of Muslims in the overall UK population, you do not have to be a strategic genius to perceive the danger.

I have always opposed the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby and bloc in the UK, but the fact remains that we face more than one enemy grouping.

A good point, on the face of it.

Alerts, yes, but how many major targets have been hit?

I imagine that they have parallel but secret command centres too.

Much of that is driven by hate-filled, malicious Jew-Zionists such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. They make malicious complaints to police, official/professional regulators, employers, and others.

The “diversity” continues…

Take a look at the online Crime pages of any newspaper, local or national, e.g. Evening Standard, My London, whatever. Make up your own mind…

Whether it happens today, next month, or in a decade’s time, Israel is doomed.

[“BREAKING: We’re on The Telegraph’s homepage tonight—and we’re front-page news in tomorrow’s print edition! FSU General Secretary Lord Young has written to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, raising serious concerns about how the Prevent programme is now treating mainstream conservative views as signs of potential extremism. Yes, you read that correctly. In training materials completed by thousands of public sector workers, the Home Office lists “cultural nationalism” as a form of terrorist ideology. That label now applies to anyone who believes mass immigration is threatening British values or social cohesion. Once flagged, individuals—often just teenagers—can have their names and political views logged in police and safeguarding databases for decades, with devastating consequences for jobs, university places, and future prospects. In his letter, Lord Young calls on Ms Cooper to suspend the use of “cultural nationalism” in Prevent guidance, conduct an urgent audit of the programme, and establish a way for wrongly flagged individuals to discover and delete their data. If you’ve got “very Brexity” Douglas Murray books in your house, a strong interest in national policy, and believe immigration is changing this country, the Home Office now says you’re an extremist. This has got to stop.”]

While I agree with the above, the “Free Speech Union” and Toby Young have damaged their own “brand” by failing to stand up for the free speech rights of those persecuted by the Jew-Zionist lobby and particularly the malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. Those conspired against have included me, Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch), Sam Melia etc, as well as better-known people and organizations such as David Icke, Dr. David Miller, and al-Jazeera TV.

I wrote about Prevent and its poundshop police state nonsense years ago:

[“The govt’s “Prevent” programme claims being concerned about mass immigration is “terrorist ideology” They want to silence the truth tellers 1 in 100 UK Muslims (40,000) are on MI5’s terror watchlist That’s larger than Hamas’s forces on 7 Oct and ISIS’s army in Iraq in 2014, when it captured Mosul. The number of jihadis on the UK terror watchlist is already half the size of the full-time British Army – and growing. Due to the growth of the Muslim population, it could be larger than the British Army by 2050. Don’t let Prevent deflect attention from the real issue: 90% of the people on the terror watchlist are Muslim. The “far right” is a molehill next to the Islamist mountain. The majority of the British public have justifiable concerns about the importation of vast numbers of culturally incompatible peoples. To malign them – to malign us – in this way is beneath contempt.”]

Time to shut down poundshop Stasi “Prevent”, and to sack its army of wannabee MI5 recruits with degrees from Lancaster University, superannuated ex-cops, ex-army corporals, and other odds and sods. Get them digging canals or stacking shelves.

Just look at them…

[“Posts like this—“Russia’s GDP equals Spain and Portugal’s combined”—may sound punchy and attract clicks but they’re deeply misleading. And it’s precisely this kind of simplistic analysis that’s helped fuel decades of failed Western policy on Russia.

Measured by raw nominal GDP, Russia ranks lower—true. But nominal GDP is influenced by exchange rates, which are volatile and often manipulated or distorted by sanctions, capital controls, or energy prices. The more meaningful metric is Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), which adjusts for local prices and living costs. By PPP, Russia’s GDP in 2024 was over $6.91 trillion, making it the 4th largest economy in the world (IMF). That’s ahead of Japan and Germany. By contrast: — Spain (PPP): $2.74 trillion — Portugal (PPP): $0.51 trillion — Combined: $3.25 trillion Russia’s real economy is more than double the size of Spain + Portugal in purchasing power terms. And that’s just in official figures. And then there’s how GDP is compiled. Western countries like Spain include estimates for drug sales, prostitution, and other illegal activity in their GDP—since Eurostat guidelines permit it. Russia, on the other hand, excludes a massive shadow economy. From informal labour to grey-market services, under-the-table wages, and barter—none of this is properly reflected in official Russian GDP stats. So the picture is skewed. You have one economy padded with estimated sex work and drug dealing, and another where entire sectors—especially in rural and small business life—go uncounted. Tax dodging is practically a sport in vast swathes of Russia. No one is saying Russia is an economic superpower. But it’s also not Spain + Portugal. It’s a globally significant economy with vast resources, strategic industries, and real industrial capacity. Underestimating that is both lazy and dangerous.“]

Quite.

In particular, you cannot judge the state’s military power by its economic level, or by the standards of living of that state’s population. Stalin said, after Hiroshima, “we must have those weapons, even if we have to eat grass“, a statement echoed in reality almost literally by North Korea in recent decades.

Late tweets

Interesting. Naturally, it is often assumed that Jews would not betray the Israeli state, as the only actually Jewish state, but there are precedents, as when Soviet Intelligence ran a number of agents inside Israel, some of which were uncovered and punished.

Can that be true? What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

Money from EU and UK (and US) taxpayers, huge amounts too, and completely wasted.

If it is true that, in the UK alone, there are 40,000 seriously and possibly actively pro-terror Islamists, imagine what would happen if even 10% of those, 4,000 of the bastards, were to commit such acts simultaneously. Alarming idea.

The Jew-Zionists of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc are a pack of liars and perjurers. They have made innumerable false statements about me to police and others, apparently without ever having been prosecuted for attempted perversion of the course of justice, or even simply wasting police time.

The so-called “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” of the “CAA”, one “Slitherman” (as I call it), has personally made false and unlawful allegations against me in the past. See below for the facts, and the wider picture. Why have the police never prosecuted him? Why is he even now seen on the “almost no-one watches” Talk TV, GB News, Sky TV etc? He was exposed in open court (by the CAA’s own bungling lawyer) as a serial online troll and harasser of (mainly) women. Evil.

Lewis has been involved in trying to “get me” numerous times over the past 13 years, but I am still here, the blog is still being published, while Lewis has suffered quite a few blows of fate in the same period, and I think is now looking down the barrel of bad news.

Diary Blog, 5 June 2025, including a few thoughts on voter migration 2024-2025, and about Israel’s deliberate starvation of children in Gaza

[Stirling Castle, Scotland]

Talking point

[from Electoral Calculus]

To my mind, two aspects stand out: firstly, the fact that Reform UK has been attracting voters from all System parties, leaving the Greens aside. Former Conservative Party voters, but also former Labour Party voters; even some former LibDem voters (presumably, people who previously voted LibDem as being “the least bad of a bad bunch”). Secondly, the fact that Reform UK seems to be able to pull out of their self-imposed (?) exile people who in recent times have preferred not to vote (presumably in disgust at the choice or, rather, lack of choice, offered.

I have said many times on this blog that, with (in 2024) just on 40% of the entire eligible electorate preferring not to vote, any party that could energize even a substantial fraction of those voters, might sweep to power. It is not clear what proportion of 2024 non-voters are now willing to vote Reform, but it seems to be a substantial proportion, anyway (and no other party is managing to do the same).

A further point of interest is how many 2024 Lab and Con voters are now intending to abstain. Quite a few, but more from the Labour camp. I am guessing that the one-time Corbyn supporters are either going Green or abstaining, while others are going LibDem or to Reform, but it may not be so clear-cut.

What the picture will be by 2029, I cannot say, but somehow I doubt that most of those dissatisfied voters will be flocking back like homing pigeons to Lab or Con. Indeed, it may well be that both main System parties will experience further drift away from their control and influence.

Gaza

Whoever in the UK —whether Jew or non-Jew— supports what the Israeli Government is doing in Gaza is complicit in war crimes of a deeply sadistic and brutal kind.

Jewish orgs in the UK, such as the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], maintain that only 6% of Jews in the UK say that they are not “Zionists”, and that the vast majority of the remaining 94% support what the Israeli Government is doing. From the horse’s mouth.

Starmer-stein has vowed to maintain arms sales to Israel. He is therefore and thereby aiding and abetting the worst kind of state terrorism, indeed terrorism bullying a civilian population (a high proportion of which consists of non-combatant women and children) which has no means at all of protecting or defending itself, let alone of fighting the Israeli Jews with their jet aircraft, missiles, tanks etc.

It becomes ever more obvious that the establishment of the State of Israel was a terrible mistake. Still, perhaps it will be possible to correct that, together with other, connected, mistakes.

You only have to look at the schools, particularly at primary educational level, particularly in the cities, towns, and suburbs. There are few white children (“formerly known as English or British”) at all.

Electoral Calculus translates that result to Reform 376 MPs, Lab 129, LibDem 65, SNP 39, Cons 11. Once again, if replicated at the 2029 (?) General Election, terminal for the Conservative Party.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

That kind of special forces type of operation is in a grey area alongside “terrorism”. The Kiev regime is doing it not from a position of strength but from one of military weakness, weakness on the battlefield. The Kiev regime’s forces are depleted, at little more than skeleton strength now. Russian Federation forces are steadily if slowly advancing across the major sections of the front, and are not retreating on any sector of the front.

I expect a Russian move shortly that will be both payback for the recent drone attacks on airfields as far away as Western Siberia, and an escalation which may create a breakthrough for the Russian side.

Diary Blog, 31 May 2025, including thoughts on the continuing “lawfare” abuse of the UK legal system by the Jewish-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (private prosecution of comedian Reginald D. Hunter)

Afternoon music

[“Schloss Adler” (Burg Hohenwerfen/Festung Hohenwerfen, Austria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohenwerfen_Castle)]

Saturday quiz

Not a very good week. I merely equalled the modest score of political journalist John Rentoul— 4/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, 3, and 7.

I take issue with the quiz-setter on question 10. As far as I know, no European country has forest cover as high as 78%, though Finland has, I believe, about 74%, and Sweden the same or slightly less. John Rentoul claims to have answered that question correctly, though; well, there it is…

The continuing abuse of the UK legal system by the Jew-Zionist troublemakers known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”

I happened to see the following tweet put out by the malicious and troublemaking “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, whose chief spokesperson, “Slitherman”, despite having been exposed (by the carelessness of the CAA’s own lawyer, and in open court) some years ago as a serial and sadistic online troller of people, especially women, is often featured on the “no one watches” Talk TV online outlet, GB News, and even Sky News, as well as LBC radio, all msm outlets under the (((usual))) influence, of course:

[“A warrant has been issued for Reginald D. Hunter to attend court in relation to a private prosecution brought by CAA. Mr Hunter is charged with three offences under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, relating to posts on X that he allegedly published in September 2024. The first hearing took place today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, but Mr Hunter failed to appear. A warrant has now been issued for him to attend court on a future date. This is one of a number of private prosecutions that CAA is bringing, and there will be more to say on the case in due course.”]

That seems (in view of the date mentioned) likely to relate to events in 2024 described in a few previous blog posts:

Much of the background can probably be found in those blog posts.

As regular readers of the blog will know, the malicious “CAA” troublemakers, liars, and perjurers (who are disowned even by most Jews, even by most Jew-Zionists, in this country), and (connected by supporters and /or members, though not formally) “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], have been gunning for me over the past 11-14 years: see

The right of individuals and organizations to bring private prosecutions, once, in practice, mainly the preserve of bodies such as the RSPCA and RSPB, is now being abused, mainly by tendentious political organizations such as the fake charity, the “CAA”.

The “CAA” is basically a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London. It has been, for about a decade, conducting both harassment and “lawfare” against individuals and bodies it considers anti-Israel and/or “antisemitic”.

So far, apart from me —not privately-prosecuted, the “CAA” having somehow suborned police and Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] personnel in order to have me prosecuted by direct police/CPS action (see blog posts above)— the CAA has harassed such as the famous David Icke, the (half-Jewish) jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, former footballer and TV pundit Gary Lineker, Al Jazeera TV, the BBC and its reporters, and many others, and has in the past privately prosecuted the satirical singer, Alison Chabloz, whose case was then taken over officially by the CPS.

Private prosecutions can be taken over by the CPS either on its own initiative or upon application by either the private prosecutors or the defendant(s). The CPS can then either stop the prosecution, or take it over and continue it officially.

The “CAA” seems to have had plenty of money donated to it, either by wealthy Jews in the UK, or from Israel. Indeed, their latest “lawfare” abuse follows on from their long-running attempt to recruit a competent lawyer as “General Counsel” (they love important titles— “Slitherman” is called “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”…):

Other “CAA” staff members have also been recruited recently.

The “CAA” usually tries (as in my own free speech trial) to use/abuse the notorious “bad law” of Communications Act 2003, s.127, which was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission, but which (so far) remains on the statute book mainly because Jew-Zionist organizations (principally the “CAA”) made representations, via “friendly” MPs and corrupt members of the House of Lords, to the effect that the provision should not be repealed (during the quite recent passage of the Online Harms Act).

This type of “lawfare” should be prohibited. It is a flagrant abuse of the English legal system.

Incidentally, the “two Israelis” mentioned in the report of the Daily Mail are the two dishonest Jew-Zionist fanatics mentioned in the blog posts above, in fact, that is “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and Mandy Blumenthal (his wife/carer), acting together with Daily Mail scribbler Sabrina Miller to create a contrived “incident”.

It is pretty clear why the abusive and malicious “CAA” cabal is now trying once more to bring private prosecutions. The police and CPS are now, more than heretofore, aware of the CAA’s “lawfare” abuse, and are less and less willing to take the contrived “CAA” complaints at face value. Ergo, with the CPS and even the fairly clueless police unwilling to be used as “CAA” puppets, the “CAA” has had to shift for itself.

Successful defendants to private prosecutions have the right to ask for the costs of their defence, which may be, in some cases, very substantial, by the way.

Tweets seen

That made me laugh. Liz Truss is ancient history, politically (in the real Britain outside John Rentoul’s Westminster Bubble). I doubt that many voters care about any similarity between Farage’s economic views and those of already-near-forgotten Liz Truss.

As for whether the (non-existent) “books” or statistics “add up”, the people have had so much of all that nonsense wash over them for 15-20 years that it makes little or no impact.

People want to stamp on both Labour and Conservative parties. They know in their hearts that those System parties have to go, whatever the flaws of Farage and his Reform UK party.

Just a Westminster Bubble club, which has as its main aim (together with personal careerism) amplifying the System message(s)…

It is not a pro-Farage vote, or even pro-Reform vote, as such, but neither is it a “protest vote”. It is a seriously-angry vote against the System parties, their smug freeloading politicians, and about everything now going very very wrong in this country, and against the key cause (of several connected causes)— mass immigration, the trashing of a white European country, and turning that country into a black/brown/Chinese/God-knows-what dystopian mess.

I suppose that the others are either non-Brits anyway, or too young (under 30? under 40? and brainwashed in the schools) to realize what Britain has lost, and what it has become.

Beria, Stalin, and the Soviet Union

Strange that some of the blog posts I consider among my best are also the least-read! Well, that’s “consumer choice”, I suppose. One such is this, written in 2018, and since then only hit on by a few people per month:

Not sure what that tweeter (the ex-wife and ex-expenses-paid secretary of a Con Party MP who was voted out last year) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Syms] is saying there. That Neil Duncan-Jordan should have joined the equally spending-cut crazy Con Party? Stayed at home and cultivated his garden? Still, her final point is unarguable. Politically, Duncan-Jordan is indeed “toast”: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Duncan-Jordan. At least he seems honest.

Duncan-Jordan is MP for Poole, which was the lady’s ex-husband’s seat until he lost it by only 18 votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Duncan-Jordan#Electoral_record.

What might happen in (?) 2029 at Poole is anyone’s guess. Maybe a Reform win, maybe not.

System politics must age people. That Labour MP is apparently about 13 years younger than me, yet (to be frank) looks 10+ years older.

Yet GB News is certainly “biased and tribal” in one way— the (((usual))) way…

I agree with that. I also think, however, that women should not box other women either. Socially inappropriate. Martial arts such as taekwando, karate etc? That is a bit different, in my view. Grey area.

The New Forest?! Ha ha! I almost used a laughing “emoji” for the first time. Co-incidence, I suppose…

Presumably the same people telling pollsters that they intend to vote Reform in future.

For me, Farage and Reform are only “on the way”, not the —or a— destination. I wish them well, though, in the short term.

The appeal judge in the Rowan Laxton case disbelieved Falter’s sworn testimony, but it could not be proven “beyond reasonable doubt” that Falter and another Jew “witness” for the prosecution at the first-instance trial were lying, so Falter was never prosecuted for perjury.

Late tweets

…or, indeed, my own “case” (see this blog, above). Toby Young, the “Free Speech Union”, Matt Goodwin, Katie Hopkins etc, all the “controlled opposition” dissidents, are effectively in the pocket of (((the usual suspects))). Which is why they are “allowed” to hold public events, fundraise, get money, get onto TV etc.

I missed that tweet from a few days ago. Jews brutalizing Palestinian Arabs in one of their new Jew-Zionist concentration camps in and about Gaza.

Not 100% accurate. I was not imprisoned after my free speech trial ended in conviction in November 2023 (sentence passed in March 2024). I was not even given a suspended sentence. I was given a financial penalty (fine and costs) amounting to about £740, and a “community order” of 15 “rehabilitation days” over 9 months, which in the end was finished (effectively though not officially) after about 5 months, and which basically consisted in my having about 6 or 7 chats (from 20 minutes to over 2 hours in duration, mostly about 30 minutes or so) with a rather charming and polite young lady from the Probation Service.

Something for the Israelis to worry about.

He’s a crazie.

From time to time, the British Army comes up with crazy mavericks of Kemp’s sort. Orde Wingate. “Mad Mitch” Mitchell. Others. They rarely get to the higher ranks, though Kemp (pro-Israel to the hilt— quelle surprise…) did make full colonel, “Mad Mitch” Mitchell reached half-colonel, and Wingate was made up to major-general during WW2 (though at one point demoted to major).

Wingate was a very pro-Jew officer, who shot Arab civilians out of hand in then-British-ruled Palestine, and tortured many as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orde_Wingate#Palestine_and_the_Special_Night_Squads.

Should Ukraine ever be in possession of nuclear weapons, Russia would have no choice but to destroy them using its own nuclear weapons (as Israel seems to want to do to Iran). Colonel Kemp is mad to suggest such an idea (which, however, will never happen).

Diary Blog, 28 May 2025, including a few thoughts about the SDP in 1981 and Reform UK in 2025

Afternoon music

[Doreen Carwithen, Bishop Rock Concerto; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doreen_Carwithen]
[Bishop Rock Lighthouse, Scilly Isles. I visited the Rock on a small boat once, aged 9 or maybe just 10, in September 1966. The sea-state was a dead calm that day, though. The lighthouse is now automated, like all others in the UK; in 1966, there were still three lighthouse-keepers; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_Rock]

Reform UK in 2025 as against the SDP in 1981

That idiot, Brian Coleman, says in another tweet (by his co-pannelist, Tessa Dunlop), that he “used to be important” and is now “a has-been“. The second point may be so, the first only if you think that having been, long ago, a councillor in the Borough of Barnet (North London) and/or a member of the London Assembly, is “important“.

Wikipedia says effectively nothing about his parentage, background, education, or any work or profession: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Coleman.

Wikipedia does mention Coleman’s membership of Conservative Friends of Israel, and his numerous instances of intemperate and violent behaviour, for at least one of which he was convicted of assault (though given a remarkably lenient sentence, on the facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Coleman#Conviction_for_assault).

Coleman was also a pretty bad expenses-blodger.

One wonders why the Jeremy Vine Show is interested in the comments of such people. His claim that Farage is and Reform UK is a “sideshow” shows Coleman’s complete lack of political nous. He says that he is old enough to remember the SDP, and how, after riding high in opinion polls, it imploded after less than a year in 1981.

He seems to think that the voters will somehow go back to the “Conservatives”. Really? I doubt it.

Yes, I too recall the SDP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_(UK)], I being nearly 5 years older than Coleman. The reasons for its failure were several, but to my mind the main one was that its policies were pretty much the same as those (much of) the Labour Party, the Liberal Party, and even the non-Thatcherite part of the Conservative Party.

Another point is that the SDP (rumps of which struggled on until 1988) was led by people who were the opposite of charismatic.

Leaving aside policy, the key difference between the SDP in 1981 and Reform UK in 2025, 44 years later, is the surrounding socio-political background. While the UK in 1981 was suffering from mass immigration, and on a large scale, the scale of that immigration was still minor compared to that of the past 25 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_immigration_to_the_United_Kingdom.

In fact, even that alarming graph does not tell the true or full story. For one thing, the pre-1945 figures would include those white/English/British people born in parts of the British Empire; also those born in various parts of mainland Europe.

Again, the later parts of that graph, showing a steep rise, are yet not entirely showing the true racial/ethnic picture, because huge numbers of blacks, browns, Chinese etc (or half so) are now being born here in the UK to parents either recent immigrants or themselves born here, and those millions are not “foreign born” in that sense.

Not even just migration-invasion; also migration-occupation.

Another point is that living standards, though suffering a blip in the early 1980s recession, were not steadily declining, as is now the case for most people. Also, society had not collapsed in other ways in 1981, or the later 1980s, contrary to what is now the case. The monarchy, armed forces, educational standards, police, courts etc were still broadly as they had been for decades, indeed to a fairly large extent as they had been since late-Victorian times. Look now!

As to Parliament itself, it may have been flawed in 1981, but still worked more or less as it had done for the preceding century. MPs had not become total “grifters” and expenses-blodgers, because that system was not yet in place to the extent it later was.

Also, MPs were mostly either from trade union or teaching/academic backgrounds (Labour) or armed forces/landowning/business backgrounds (Conservative). A different ethos. For most of them, politics was a field they had come into from somewhere else. The present-day MPs are, many of them along the lines of: Oxford/Cambridge PPE or similar degree, political adviser, a bit of fake charity work maybe, maybe a bit of local councillor activity, then MP. Result— rubbish.

In a word, the voters are very angry with the state of everything in this country. They know Farage is a bit of a snake-oil salesman, they know Reform UK MPs are unpolished, inexperienced etc (and have not had the training of many System MPs). The voters, however, are voting in anger against the System parties rather than for Reform as such. They know that Reform is merely the best of a bad bunch. They are voting for change, too, not for specific Reform policies. Indeed, in supporting remigration/repatriation etc, the voters are well ahead of Reform UK, well ahead of Farage, well ahead of Matt Goodwin.

In other words, that Coleman character has completely misread the situation.

Tweets seen

Well, I can agree with Coleman on that point.

Again, similar story as in other recent polls: Reform 368 MPs, Labour 126, LibDems 59, SNP 38, Cons 30: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Those and many other criminals need to be put up against a wall.

Here, I part company with Goodwin. After all, M&S has just posted a pre-tax profit of over £300M for the past financial year, and the other big supermarkets are in a similarly-fortunate position. Fewer staff, more self-service etc. Am I really supposed to get upset over those huge organizations losing out on even higher profits?

When it comes to small shopkeepers, it is different. The shoplifting upsurge really is hurting them.

The problem with making “minor” thefts punishable by harsh penalties is that it blurs the distinction between minor and major crimes, as in early 19thC England: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_Kingdom#Background. The adage was “hanged for a penny, hanged for a pound” (not completely accurate— the threshold triggering the death penalty was in fact, until 1832, not one penny but 12 pence, i.e. one shilling).

Incidentally, shoplifting did attract the death penalty 200 years ago, if the value of the goods stolen was high enough.

Goodwin and Reform seem to be drifting, in recent statements, into a kind of George Osborne, Dunce Duncan Smith dead-end, a position not far from that of the Con Party. Probably a mistake. If Reform starts to look like a copy of the Con Party, it will falter and fail.

Similar, yet again, to all recent polling.

That would place, inter alia, both Moscow and Petersburg within range of heavy missiles fired from Kiev-regime territory. Germany is asking to be devastated yet again. Why? Is the NWO/ZOG infliuence in German politics that strong? Must be…

There comes a time when you need to stop “poking the Bear”, because the Bear will not tolerate it, or you.

The world is not without kind people…

More about Macron

Many readers will have seen my 2019 assessment of Macron, contained within the following now six-years-old blog post:

In that blog post, I go into Macron’s background etc. Now, I have been referred to recent tweets about him:

[“I used to have a flat in Paris and a chateau near Albi, and my children went to school in France after Hill House in London, so I know the French scene from a native perspective. I am also blessed with friends in Switzerland, Italy and Germany, and it has to be said, Brigitte Macron’s frustrations, which have recently been on display as a result of the camera capturing her pushing her husband in his face in Vietnam, have been a source of understanding amongst the political classes for some time. This is neither the time nor the place to delve deeply into the Gay Paree scene, to which only Noel Coward could do justice. My YouTube channel, on the other hand, allows me to penetrate more deeply into the hard partying of Emmanuel Macron and his circle of elite and very handsome gays, including Gabriel Attal, whom he appointed as Prime Minister and who now heads up his (political) party in the National Assembly, and the renowned counter tenor Philippe Jaroussky. If anyone cares to pick up this thread, I’d suggest tuning in to my YouTube channel at 4pm this afternoon.”]

I should think so. For Germany to supply the Kiev regime with ever-more-powerful weapons might eventually result in Germany again becoming a battlefield, or even a charred and irradiated ruin.

Israel, “antisemitism”, and the continuing Israeli war crimes in Gaza

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/23/netanyahu-accused-of-slander-criticising-macron-carney-starmer

Benjamin Netanyahu was accused of slander and pursuing a war without end after he claimed the leaders of France, Canada and the UK were stoking antisemitism and siding with Hamas by demanding he end the two-month blockade of food and aid into Gaza.

In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.

I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others,” Netanyahu said.

I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”

[Guardian]

So now even Starmer-stein and Macron, both egregious puppets of the worldwide Jew-Zionist lobby and Israel, are called “antisemitic“! Carney, too, a former Goldman Sachs and central banker who is himself believed to be part-Jew (though his background is mainly Irish).

Is this the peak of such “gaslighting”? We in the UK have seen, for years now, the raucous Jew-Zionist lobby saying that almost anything not slavishly pro-Israel is “antisemitic”. The malicious and dishonest so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] has been in the forefront of it all, making false accusations about people to police and professional regulators, and spreading its poisonous propaganda on Sky News, GB News, the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV online outlet, and even the BBC.

Apart from that, imagine the lack of self-knowledge it takes for Netanyahu to accuse the admittedly unpleasant Hamas organization of being “mass murderers“, “baby killers” etc when the Hamas attack on Israel in late 2023 killed some thousand or so Jews and others (though many were in fact killed by the brutal Israeli forces themselves when the latter were killing Hamas operatives, and the Israeli victims seem to have “got in the way”) but when the Israeli retaliation in Gaza has killed anywhere between 150,000 and 200,000, mostly civilians rather than Hamas personnel.

In other words, in terms of numbers, the Israeli forces have killed between 150 and 200 Gazans for every one Israeli Jew killed during the 2023 incursion by Hamas personnel into southern Israel.

The Gazan population has been bombed, firebombed, attacked with white phosphorus, attacked with flamethrowers, shot at from the air and ground, rolled over by Israeli tanks, and killed also by an embargo on medical supplies and even food and water.

About half, more than half, of the victims of the Israeli forces in Gaza have been women and children, a huge proportion of the latter having been under the age of 12 (so not teenage fighters, of which Hamas seems to have few anyway); many of the victims have been babies, indeed. Netanyahu should look in the mirror, if he can bear it.

Incidentally, most of the original Israeli victims of the 2023 incursion were adults, and most were members of the Israeli armed forces, police, or other security orgs.

As previously blogged, if the Hamas operatives of 2023 were in part monstrous, indeed if the Palestinian Arabs generally are sometimes monstrous, then they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the actions and behaviour of Israel, and its supporters and facilitators elsewhere. Jews across the world raise money for Israel, including money specifically raised for the Israeli armed forces.

Are we coming to the point at which the “Western” world will (start to) throw off the shroud of (((control))) over Western economies, legal professions, politicians, newspapers, TV, radio etc, which (((control))) has become ever-heavier over the last 150 years, and particularly since the disastrous end of the Second World War in 1945?

Israel itself was founded on a foundation of mass murder and ethnic cleansing. The karma taken on by Israel and its population (and its supporters in the West) is very heavy, and gets heavier daily.

The amendment to the bill to ask every developer to provide a £35 hollow brick for swifts, house martins, sparrows and starlings, which was tabled by Labour MP Barry Gardiner, has been rejected by the Labour-dominated committee.

Despite the Labour party having supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023, housing minister, Matthew Pennycook, told the House of Commons committee: “We are not convinced that legislating to mandate the use of specific wildlife features is the right approach, whether that is done through building regulations or a freestanding legal requirement.

A new petition calling for swift bricks to be made mandatory for new homes has rapidly reached 80,000 signatures in recent days, two years after activist Hannah Bourne-Taylor won a parliamentary debate to help the rapidly declining migratory birds after 109,896 voters signed a government petition.

Bourne-Taylor said there appeared to be “no logic” to the government’s opposition to swift bricks when they precisely meet its ambition of creating win-wins for the economy and nature.

“They are going to be building millions of bricks into walls. I don’t understand why there’s such a problem with a brick with a hole in it. It seems ludicrous,” she said. “Why say your new legislation is a win-win for new homes and the environment and exclude the only measure that is a true win-win?

“They are tone-deaf. This is such a tiny thing they could do, but it’s brewing such a distrust and sense of betrayal among the people who voted for them.”

Such an easy way in which to help those birds and the environment generally, and now fake Labour has ruined it.

The Labour Party is now fake, evil, and deserving of being stamped into the ground.

As for that Pennycook bastard, he seems to be a typical Labour MP of 2025, a “beggar on horseback”, i.e. a careerist from a very modest background, determined to climb the greasy pole, with neither ideas nor ideals, and completely unprincipled.

By reason of the repression of free speech in this country, I cannot say what I might hope will happen to most System MPs.

Ironic. The System politicians and msm recently lined up to mention the possibility that Britain might have been invaded in 1940, yet pretended not to notice a real invasion that is happening right under their noses, and literally under the noses of the spectators of that Dunkirk tribute show.

As to why Britain was never actually under real threat of invasion in 1940, there were numerous reasons. First of all, Hitler wanted to rule much of the world in alliance with the British Empire; he did not want war with Britain; Britain, i.e. Neville Chamberlain’s Cabinet, declared war on Germany in 1939 and, after mid-1940, his successor, Churchill, was unwilling to consider an armistice.

Hitler was weighing what became the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. He did not wan t a two-front war.

Hitler allowed most of the British Army soldiers in the Dunkirk area to escape (my own maternal grandfather one of them). Hitler refused to allow the Luftwaffe and tank columns to destroy that army, the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force or BEF. German ground forces were halted outside Dunkirk by Hitler’s own order (Fuhrerbefehl).

Secondly, the Germans never had enough barge and ship capacity to ferry an army of sufficient size across the Channel.

Thirdly, the Luftwaffe could not guarantee air superiority; neither could the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine much defend any forces ferried across.

Reverting to today’s real invasion, it continues, day after day, and nothing of importance is being done to stop, or even slow, the flow.

If only Britain had been in loose alliance with the Reich. We would have been, today, the rulers of much of the world, and that world would have been a better and happier place by reason of it. The usual evil (((influence))) prevented it from happening. Instead, we sit on our small and beleaguered island, invaded daily by trash from all over the world, we are individually poorer with every passing day and, with every passing day, our society falls apart, more and more.

I wonder how long it will be before there is little that is worthwhile left. At the age of 68, I may not see the ultimate depths of the degradation of Britain, thank God, and I am doing what little I presently can, in my present situation, to avoid the catastrophe, but see around me a society running around like a headless chicken, scarcely aware that it is already, in effect, dead, or at least mortally wounded.

I may, by Grace of God, be able to do more. We shall see. That is a matter of Fate. If the existing society cannot be saved, it may be that seeds can be planted in the rotting corruption, seeds which may germinate at a later time in history.

I noted Myerson’s recent and defamatory attack on Dr. Rachel Clarke on the blog, yesterday, and mused on whether she could or, rather, will take a civil action in defamation against him, as well as reporting Myerson to the Bar Standards Board. The same must be true of this doctor, assuming that she is a medical doctor, as it seems she must be. Myerson is plainly saying that she will not treat Jew patients professionally.

Perhaps the two lady doctors will co-operate in both suing Myerson and reporting him to the Bar Standards Board.

Anonymous Jew-Zionist stalker attacks James Wilson, the victorious defendant in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor.

Myerson and other notorious Jew-Zionist pro-Israel fanatics testified for the defendants, but the trial judge gave no weight to (i.e. plainly disbelieved) what they said on oath; Myerson included.

Thank God Myerson was at least sacked as a recorder (p/t judge) last year. The sacking was presented as if a “resignation”, of course. He had already been given an official warning about his online trolling.

Police who are doing this should have their names, ranks, and numbers recorded.

As one might expect from scribbler Allison Pearson, she has missed at least one point. It is actually irrelevant whether someone’s views are considered “racist” (an almost-meaningless term).

My views now, and when I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred by reason of a conspiracy by two connected packs of Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel” and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) in 2016 ( 8 years after I ceased to practise at the Bar), are little if at all different from when I was in ordinary Bar practice in England (1992-1996 and 2002-2008), I being overseas most of the intervening time and for several years thereafter.

When I was in Bar practice before the courts and tribunals of England (mostly the County Courts and the High Court, though at first also in the magistrates’ courts, various tribunals and —occasionally— the Crown Courts), I had lay clients (and instructing solicitors) who were from many parts of the world, most living in the UK. Many species of blacks and browns, inter alia. I always did my best for all of them. That is or was the ethos of the Bar.

It is also irrelevant whether or not Lucy Connolly is or is not labelled as “racist” by this idiot or that. The fact is that her sentence was harsh, and the circumstances of her original plea and the facts of her case amount, overall, to a miscarriage of justice, notwithstanding her (frankly, mistaken) original guilty plea.

Lucy Connolly is quite evidently being used, politically, by the Starmer-stein regime, as something akin to the dead crows etc that gamekeepers used to impale on spikes as some kind of supposed warning-off to others. Katie Hopkins has vlogged to the same effect, and I had already blogged to that same effect.

The same thing happened to Tony Martin, the farmer who was at first convicted, quite wrongly, of having murdered a “gypsy” (Irish tinker/”traveller”) after a group of those predators and scavengers attacked Martin’s isolated farmhouse: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer).

Even after his murder conviction was quashed, being replaced by a manslaughter conviction and a 5-year term (his 10-year sentence for shooting and wounding another nuisance in the same incident was also reduced, the 10 years being replaced by a —concurrent— 3-year term), Martin was refused early release, and served 3 years. The woke-idiot probation and parole swine were judging him for his views, at root.

Had I been Prime Minister, I should have made sure that Martin was never charged (and don’t think that that is not possible). Indeed, he should have been commended for his brave actions, and given money from public funds.

…because that reflects mass immigration for half a century or more, now completely uncontrolled and, crucially, births to immigrants and to offspring of immigrants.

More accurately, the equivalent of about 10 or 20 or 40 decaying inner-city slum areas…

[“4 things you need to know today:

1/ Labour will tell you immigration is falling but this is almost entirely due to pre-Labour measures

2/ The numbers are still WAY too high —100k higher than when Brits voted for Brexit asking for control. The latest net migration figure, 431,000, is nearly twice the number of new homes that were built in England last year, 218,000. It is also much higher than what Brits want —85% of Brits say they want net migration below 100,000, half of them want it at zero or ‘net negative’, with more people leaving than arriving

3/ Much of the immigration into Britain is still low-skill, low-wage, exactly the kind that is a net cost, not benefit, to our economy. Furthermore, 81% of ALL migration into Britain last year came from outside Europe —what does this mean for our shared culture, identity, values, history and way of life? It’s an important question that nobody in Westminster, excluding Reform, is willing to ask

4/ No matter what Keir Starmer and Labour say, today, Britain’s borders remain completely out of control. After yesterday’s record-breaking day, we are still on track for the highest annual number of small boat crossings in 2025, which have brought terrorists and criminals into our country. Labour’s “plan” is not working; the only thing they are smashing is our national security.”]

Labour’s “solution” (as under the fake Conservatives), is to build and build. First, that cannot be done anyway on a huge scale. Second, all that means is that our formerly, and still to some extent, beautiful England gradually (?) becomes a giant slum housing tens of millions of untermenschen.

…but they never allow the same argument to be used in relation to the removal of Jews in the 1940s from western and central Europe to eastern Europe…

When Jews claim that their forbears were deported to the east in the early 1940s, they also claim that that removal, and making them work in camps etc on arrival, was “genocide” (even though most Jews in the world were unaffected). Now, “their” argument is different…

I once thought that we, the English or British, were, at least arguably, the most obvious hypocrites in the world. Not so…

This country is so screwed now, that one has to think where to start, especially in coming to a “solution”.

Same basic story as from many other recent polls, but Cons really bouncing along the bottom now; 16%. As for Labour, also plumbing the depths on 21%.

If that poll were to be replicated at a general election— Reform 406 MPs, Labour 107, LibDems 56, SNP 41, and Cons…10. Ten MPs…

Diary Blog, 20 May 2025, including a few thoughts on the failure of Lucy Connolly’s appeal on sentence

Lucy Connolly

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14730637/Tory-councillors-wife-social-media-rant-migrants-day-Southport-attack-loses-appeal-harsh-sentence.html

The heartbroken husband of Lucy Connolly who was jailed for posting an online rant over the Southport murders has condemned her appeal being dismissed today as ‘shocking and unfair’ – saying his wife is ‘not a right-wing thug’.

Ray Connolly said: ‘My wife Lucy is a good person and not a racist’, adding: ‘Lucy got more time in jail for one tweet than some paedophiles and domestic abusers get.’

Connolly, who is locked up at HMP Drake Hall, Staffordshire, had claimed to the Appeal Court last week that she had no idea what she was admitting to when she pleading guilty to a charge of inciting racial hatred.

In a written judgment, Lord Justice Holroyde, said: ‘There is no arguable basis on which it could be said that the sentence imposed by the judge was manifestly excessive.”

[Daily Mail]

Pity that the husband plays the System/msm game by adopting their language, though.

I had thought that the Court of Appeal would probably cut the sentence, allowing for the release of the appellant not immediately, but within a few weeks.

I admit I was mistaken. I had underestimated the pressure on the Court (however obliquely, so be it) from the evil Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer-stein, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc.

As for the ridiculous dictum of Holroyde L.J., quoted above, what can one say? Imagine a Lord Justice of Appeal thinking that a sentence of over 2.5 years for having posted a brief comment on social media is just about right… Ludicrous.

It is too late now, of course, but I think that Lucy Connolly should not have pleaded guilty in the first place.

Looking at the words she used in her social media comment, and at the construction of the sentences, it certainly would have been arguable that the words used, and in the way they were used, and in the context of where they were posted, did not in fact amount to incitement at all.

I think that Lucy Connolly could certainly have taken her chances before a jury, particularly if most of the jury had been echt-English. Also, even had she been convicted after a jury trial, the hysteria of the summer of 2024 would by then have abated, and the sentence would probably have been far less harsh, in my view.

This case and sentence were surely both nakedly political. The unfortunate lady has been used as a kind of scapegoat and example by Starmer-stein and fake Labour. The aim was wider than merely to discourage “rioters” (protesters) in the long hot summer of 2024; it was to discourage social media and other online dissent generally, and into the future.

Politically, though, Starmer-stein has misread the room (again). The Lucy Connolly case will backfire on him.

Exactly (that last point), but of course Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty at first instance (for whatever reason), and so this appeal has been on sentence alone.

In fact, the Crown case was never tested at trial, because the defendant pleaded guilty.

Exactly. Which is one reason why Lucy Connolly should have pleaded Not Guilty. She might then have had, even had she been convicted, a good arguable appeal point.

I have to say that, if her original solicitor advised a guilty plea on the basis that she had no defence, she was probably badly advised.

Ha. That is a very topical way of putting it…

No-one now is going to vote Con Party, for several reasons. First of all because it is now led, if such is the bon mot, by a Nigerian woman who has in the past called British workers “idlers“, and who, though born in London (her parents having come to London precisely for that purpose, to get her a British passport), was brought up in the alien surroundings of Nigeria and the USA. She only came back to her place of birth aged 16 or 17.

One might add that she is one more System MP whose CV looks better from a distance than it does close-up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemi_Badenoch].

Secondly, the Conservative Party is partly, one might argue mainly, to blame for the terrible state the UK is in, and is going towards. 14 years of Con Party misgovernment. As I predicted, of course, the fake Labour government of Starmer-stein is as bad, or worse (many think worse), but that does not mean that many voters want to turn back the clock to 2010, 2015, 2017, or 2019.

The only people likely to vote Con now are elderly people who have always voted Con and who do not really keep up with events political or societal; those, and/or the affluent and wealthy who think that they would pay less tax under a Con government. Starmer-Labour, though, is almost indistinguishable from the Con Party in that respect.

There is a floor to Con Party support. I myself would estimate that floor as being somewhere around 15% but, having said that, if it were to look that the Cons had very little support and were therefore in perceivedly “wasted vote” territory, then even that floor might fall through.

On the basis of the latest opinion poll, the Commons might consist of 346 Reform members, 145 Labour, 73 LibDem, 39 SNP, and 17 Cons.

Matt Goodwin is therefore not right to say that the Conservative Party is now in 4th place. In terms of likely Commons seats, they are in 5th place; the 2% UK vote of the SNP is concentrated in Scottish seats, i.e. only about an eighth of all UK seats. You see the result predicted: SNP 39, Cons 17. Terminal for the Con Party…
