“Our wonderful police”

https://www.mylondon.news/news/north-london-news/voyeuristic-met-police-officer-climbed-30368482?int_source=nba

A Metropolitan Police officer who told his colleague ‘What are you good at, other than shagging people on the team?’ has been found not guilty of misconduct after a tribunal. PC Muhammed Miah was cleared of grabbing his colleague’s bottom during a night out in North London, however the panel heard evidence he climbed a toilet to spy on his colleagues getting off in the cubicle.

The complainant, known as Officer A, experienced pressure on her bum at a Ping Pong bar in January 2020, but the misconduct panel found she had not complained at the time and that witnesses evidence was unreliable because they had been drinking since 3:30pm at Joker Bar in Chapel Market in Angel. A complaint was only made on the woman’s behalf two years later, the panel heard.

[My London]

A couple of points. Firstly, note that all three police “officers” involved are still in the police, incredibly. Secondly, note the appallingly-poor colloquial English (“bum“; “getting off“) used by the My London reporter, one Callum Cuddeford. In fact, I have noticed previously his poor English, and his habit of intruding personal bias (in other stories). He is not alone. “Journalists” scarcely exist now. What you get are 20-something scribblers and (on TV) talking heads, most of whom know nothing.

London. Zoo.

“Two Croydon men have been jailed for forcing their way into a woman’s home to sexually assault and rape her. Adhamon Mebrahtu, 23, of Norbury and Jamie Osman, 23, followed their victim home after meeting her on a tram.

On arrival, they barged their way into her building in Croydon. They proceeded to sexually assault and rape her in her own home. Mebrahtu also admitted to stealing the victim’s phone.

My 2019 assessment of Rory Stewart (with updates): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/03/will-rory-stewart-mp-be-prime-minister/.

Cool. People should learn about how virtually every slave sent to UK colonies or the US was SOLD TO WHITE PEOPLE BY BLACK SLAVERS. They should also learn about Britain’s role in ending the international slave trade, so the BLACK SLAVERS had to sell their slaves to Arabs. And of course, they should find out that more white people were sent as slaves to Africa than black people taken out of Africa. Finally, they should learn about modern slavery, where the slavers are almost exclusively black and brown people. Libyan slave trade below. But of course, Jovan doesn’t want any of that. He just wants to tell one side of the story.

Also, there were “indentured servants” in Virginia and elsewhere, white British people sent to the Americas as —in effect— slaves for a fixed period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servitude.

Another aspect the “Good Law Project” fails to note is the very considerable Jewish involvement in the trade in black African slaves.

Incidentally, that African shown in the first tweet was the failed Labour candidate for the Clacton constituency at the 2024 General Election, and was soundly beaten by Nigel Farage of Reform UK; he ended up with a mere 16.2% of the vote, and in a poor third place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I spent a month in 1998 (during several months I spent in Egypt) living in the oasis of Siwa, near the Libyan border. Until about 1945, slave caravans, bringing black slaves from Central Africa to Egypt, would pass through Siwa.

[part of the oasis of Siwa (Sahara), seen from the fortress of Shali]

Looks as though that African is going the same way as Femi Oluwole (a total waste of space, prominent online but not of the slightest use to Britain or its people): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole.

As for the “Good Law Project”, it is the vehicle of half-Jew barrister Jolyon Maugham, arguably best-known for having brutally killed, at his country home (a windmill), and using a baseball bat, a fox. Another waste of space, in my opinion.

The “Good Law Project” has become notorious for failed and/or doomed legal actions. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham.

Incidentally, anyone who thinks that Maugham, a tax barrister (I do not know whether he is still in active practice) must, ipso facto (or otherwise), be some kind of great mind, should take a look at his efforts when on the team of Birkbeck (London University) playing “celebrity”/alumni Christmas University Challenge a few years ago: https://order-order.com/2022/01/11/jolyon-wins-university-challenge-after-getting-almost-every-question-wrong/. Maugham managed to combine self-importance, massive over-confidence, and ignorance, in a manner truly stellar.

Somewhere down the line, yes.

“Spending on ‘asylum seekers’ has increased by 36% to £5.38bn from £3.95bn. At the same time as they lavish billions on mainly single undocumented males, they took away the winter fuel payment from our most vulnerable.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24758424.elderly-woman-forced-wait-five-hours-ambulance/

FURIOUS residents said they felt ‘helpless’ after a 95-year-old woman was forced to wait on the pavement for more than five hours for an ambulance.

On Monday, November 25, Winifred Soanes was left on the cold pavement after falling and breaking her hip in Christchurch High Street.

Accompanied by her husband of 61 years, Andrew, 92, who ‘wouldn’t leave her side,’ several people stayed to help, with nearby businesses pulling together, offering essentials to keep Winifred as comfortable as possible in the ‘freezing’ weather.

David Lovell, who saw the fall, was the first to call for an ambulance, staying with Winifred and Andrew for the five and a half hours.

He said: “I can’t describe how cold it was, and as it got dark, the temperature dropped really quickly.

“She was lying on the cold pavement, and we couldn’t move her because she was in huge amounts of pain.”

Because of the way she fell, David and the others had to find a way to prop her head up, getting some shoe boxes from stall holders and a pillow from a pub.

Staff at Mountain Warehouse provided sleeping bags, and the charity shops gave blankets and hot water bottles.

Jennifer Baylis, who works at the Prama charity shop, helped throughout the day.

She said: “I can’t tell you how upsetting it was, she actually said, ‘I’m going to die here tonight’.”

Jennifer said a number of people attempted to call an ambulance and explained that she was a vulnerable elderly person. However, they were given no time frame and were told she was not a priority.

Winifred’s husband, Andrew, is diabetic and a veteran, but despite needing to care for his own health, he stayed by her side in the cold.

He said: “The situation was dire, but it’s great to know that when they need to, the community all pull together to help.

Andrew, who called his wife his ‘soul mate’, said she was taken to Poole Hospital for treatment and is waiting for specialist operation for her injuries.

People who witnessed Winifred’s distress criticised the ‘broken system’, many of whom have called for a reform of how the service is operated.

News from the migration invasion

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14140803/Asylum-seeker-sex-pest-targeted-two-women-train-terrifying-ordeal-sexually-assaulting-one-SPARED-jail-judge-told-no-friends-UK.html

A sex pest who sexually assaulted a 20-year-old female passenger during a train journey has been spared jail. 

Hamada Salah, 28, who is seeking asylum in the UK, targeted two lone women in separate incidents on a TransPennine Express journey from Leeds to Middlesbrough in February.

The victims were left feeling ‘objectified’ and ‘unnerved’ after the Egyptian national began showing them pornography, Newcastle Crown Court heard.

Salah targeted a woman aged 20, which he said was ‘the perfect age for sex’, and started touching her legs, before moving to another part of the train before rubbing his groin in front of a 67-year-old passenger. 

Judge Carolyn Scott said it must have been a ‘terrible ordeal for a woman of 20’ and added: ‘She was on public transport and had no opportunity to escape the situation.’ 

She sentenced Salah to a suspended jail term and also gave him a sexual harm prevention order which prohibits him from communicating with any unknown female on public transport unless it is a member of staff in relation to her duties.

He has also been banned from deliberately touching any unknown female on public transport under the same order.

Judge Scott sentenced Salah to 44 weeks, suspended for two years, with rehabilitation requirements and 200 hours unpaid work.

Salah was ordered to sign the sex offenders register and abide by the sexual harm prevention order for ten years.

Bees

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/08/uk-may-approve-bee-killing-pesticide-despite-election-promise-to-ban-it

UK ministers are considering allowing the use of a bee-killing pesticide next year despite promising during the election to ban it.

Neonicotinoids are banned in the EU because they are toxic to bees but have been authorised for use every year in the UK since 2021.

During this summer’s election campaign, Keir Starmer said: “The new government will ban neonicotinoid pesticides imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam due to their impact on bees.”

So do it. Ban their use.

Jack the Ripper

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/uk-world-news/jack-ripper-identified-aaron-kosminski-9611598

This is the face of the world’s most notorious serial killer, according to an author who has been delving into the Jack the Ripper case for nearly 30 years.

Ripper investigator Russell Edwards utilised cutting-edge facial reconstruction technology to generate this CGI black and white image of how the murderer would have appeared at the time.

Mr Edwards used DNA evidence from the shawl of one of the victims to “prove” that Jack the Ripper was in fact Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland who was a prime suspect during the gruesome Whitechapel murders.

During the investigation into the murders, Dr Robert Anderson, head of the London Criminal Investigation Department, had identified Kosminski as a key suspect. Confidential police reports, later published in 1894 as the Macnaghten Memorandum, recorded that detectives believed he harboured a “great hatred of women, specially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tendencies”.

Even then, political correctness made them hesitant to point the finger at a Jew, fearing accusations of anti-Semitism.

Mr Edwards’ further investigations suggest that the infamous murderer escaped justice due to his brother’s connections with freemasonry, and he also proposes theories about the reasons behind the gruesome mutilations.

In February 2023, Mr Edwards received several photos, one of which featured 15 men all sporting handlebar moustaches and dressed uniformly in suits with overcoats. These men were identified as members of the Lodge of Israel, a Freemason group established for Jewish immigrants in Britain.

Mr Edwards is of the belief that the Ripper was not a random mutilator, but was executing…Masonic instructions. He also suspects that his brother’s Masonic connections likely shielded his younger sibling from arrest to prevent backlash against the Jews.

Forty years of (mainly) decline…

The share of the USA in the world economy at the end of Joe Biden’s presidential term will fall to 14.76 percent – the minimum in modern history, RIA Novosti calculated according to data from the World Bank and the IMF. At the same time, the most noticeable growth in participation in the global economy was in India (0.84 p.p.), China (0.6 p.p.), Turkey (0.32 p.p.) and Russia (0.15 p.p. .p.).

Ah…Russian gold. Give me some…

Is the USA belatedly waking up to the fact that Israel just takes, giving the USA nothing at all but a headache? The tail has been wagging the dog for far too long, mainly because the Israel lobby in the USA controls Congress.

The Ukrainian Parliament has adopted a bill banning the mobilization of citizens aged 18 to 25, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko reported. They came to their senses when they had already exterminated most of the young. Apparently, they realized that there would be no one to raise the demographics.

Exactly what I have been saying on the blog for nearly 3 years now. Ukraine is in danger of disappearing as a people.

Maybe. What is Farage’s game? What is Goodwin’s?

So the ultimate choice offered to Conservative Party members, and eventually to the voters, will be—

1. A Nigerian woman married to a banker; or

2. A corrupt, albeit or presumably English/British, nasty type, married to a Jewish woman lawyer.

Both unacceptable.

As I guessed, Tugendhat would have been more popular with the voters overall, and even former/2024 Conservative voters, or at least less unpopular.

The sort of madness and injustice so typical of Britain in 2024.

Border Force agents found the pair wedged in the boot when they stopped the car in Coquelles, France, on April 16 last year. Leslie, from Birmingham, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assisting unlawful immigration into the UK.

When questioned, he refused to offer any explanation as to why the woman and girl were in his car, the Home Office said.

Leslie was jailed for three years at Canterbury Crown Court On Thursday, September 26, having pleaded guilty.

Farage is, of course, a major aspect of the “controlled opposition” phenomenon.

Having said that, Reform UK may well have a part to play in destroying the “three main parties” scam in the UK.

The strategy of the System seems to be that, if/when the main System parties are finally binned by the voters, Reform UK will be there, under (((the usual))) control to catch the ball.

Only real social nationalism can save the UK and all Europe, but Reform UK, and the Farage-style parties on mainland Europe can, despite their origins and intentions, be a step towards what is necessary, moving the “Overton window” among the people, and that is what matters most.

“The Charity Commission has discovered that Naomi Campbell’s “anti-poverty” charity raised £4.8million but only £389K went to good causes.

I suggest she fills the hole from her personal $ 80million fortune. The commission have now banned her from running a charity for five years as they they found widespread financial misconduct.

Astonished there isn’t a police investigation.

It emerged during the inquiry that the charity paid £9,400 for Campbell to stay three nights in a five-star Cannes hotel where she was appearing in a fashion fundraiser for the charity. Surprise, surprise the charity had chosen its fashion to coincide with the city’s film festival. The stars were aligned! Further, she ran up a bill of £6,000, once again paid by the charity, on spar treatment, room service and even her cigarettes. A new low. Not even paying for her own fags.

Campbell, 54, set up Fashion for Relief in 2005 saying she had been inspired by her “ honourable mentor” Nelson Mandela. Don’t imagine Mandela wants his name linked in that way. The charity was supposed, to provide relief during humanitarian disasters. All it provided was supplying relief when you needed a packet of cigarettes.

Another trustee , a lawyer, was banned for 9 years. He had received £290,000 over two years in unauthorised consultancy fees but picked up an average £26,000 a year in expenses. All this scandal confirms is the reason many don’t contribute to charity.

Naomi Campbell has been up to her neck in all sorts of criminality for years. See, e.g. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/08/11/the-jew-epstein-and-prince-andrew-the-british-royal-family-has-another-scandal-maybe-its-time-to-just-get-rid-of-them/.

The Epstein scandal is but one example.

As for charities, the regulation of them is far too lax, from the political and other activities of the larger charities (and the massive salaries they pay to the few at the top) to the smaller ones, some of which are outright frauds, as with the “Captain Tom” nonsense.

Of course, the egregious online “grifters”, such as “Jack Monroe”, the Jew Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”), the Depher UK fellow, Julia Grace Patterson, Mike Stuchbery, “Supertanskiii” are not, most of them, registered as charities anyway.

An armed camp. Arguably the closest example in modern times to ancient Sparta.

I have to admit, though, that some of those girls wear their automatic weapons (etc) rather stylishly.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: The World Economic Forum is “a billionaires’ boys’ club that’s arranging for the world to shift wealth upward, and to clamp down totalitarian controls on everybody else”. “It’s astonishing to me that these people go to Davos in their private jets, and they’re able to tell these world leaders how to govern us in ways that eradicate our constitutional and civil rights.” Credit: @RobertKennedyJr. @glennbeck.”

…and even were there one, the puny efforts of human beings can do little to change the situation.

I was accused of being a shill again today. It is now 4 years since I started advocating pro bono on Twitter. I have had no salary or pension since. The idea I am conflicted because of financial gain is laughable. I was paid £78 through buy me a coffee until the Royal College of Pathologists put a stop to that. Twitter itself has paid me a total of $1000 Substack subscribers have very kindly donated £4,000 I netted £30,000 from book sales. Most my expert witness help has been pro bono but I have started charging this year resulting in £4000 I also have had a few hundred from the handful of media interviews I charged for. That is it. <£10k per year. I have never worked harder. I can’t begin to tell you what it has all cost me. Nor can I begin to tell you what I have gained.”

If only, also, white Europe and its overseas offshoots would recognize anew both their manifest destiny and their responsibility to rule and, included in that, their responsibility to protect also the non-European peoples and the world’s wildlife.

Britain in 2024

I happened to see this crime report in a local newspaper: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24606453.robber-disguised-police-officer-raided-wealthy-sandbanks-home/.

“Robber disguised as police officer raided wealthy Sandbanks home.

An armed robber who tied up and threatened to shoot the wife and daughter of a wealthy company director in their Sandbanks home has been jailed for 16 years.

Career criminal Aaron Evans and accomplice Ashley Fulton held Kerry and Emily Aitchison at gunpoint during the terrifying raid on their luxury home overlooking Poole Harbour.

After tying up Mrs Aitchison they threatened to burn Emily, 22, with an iron and then shoot her mother in front of her if she didn’t open the safe.

Brave Mrs Aitchison, 55, called the pair ‘scum of the earth’ and didn’t give them the code.

Evans and Fulton ransacked the £2.5m house before fleeing with more than £200,000 worth of luxury watches, designer handbags, jewellery and cash.

The bungling robbers made a catalogue of errors that led police to their door.”

[Bournemouth Echo]

The full report is worth reading.

What struck me most, apart from the unpleasant violence and the sheer ineptitude of the robbers, was the fact that those robbers, despite not having been able to gain access to the safe, yet escaped with over £200,000 in cash, jewels, and other items.

The report says that the husband of the lady attacked owns, via a company, 21 care homes.

There is something wrong with England, with its economy and society, when someone can own 21 care homes and profit so much that, even in his own home, he and his family have hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and jewels loosely lying around. Plus whatever was or is in that home safe. Plus, no doubt, investments which may well amount to millions.

For me, that is an example of what a Conservative leader (Edward Heath) once called “the unacceptable face of capitalism” (though Heath was referring to a very different kind of company— Lonrho).

On a smaller scale, I once encountered another example of such profiteering.

When I was a barrister based in chambers in Exeter (2002-2008), I appeared fairly frequently, often several days a week, at Exeter County Court which, for silly ideological reasons, was planned and built without any parking available at all. People have either to walk to public car parks or find parking nearby.

I used to park at a nearby hotel, and occasionally talked to the elderly-seeming attendant. It turned out that the parking there was contracted out to the attendant’s son-in-law, who had left the Royal Marines without a penny, and had started one of those vulture clamping outfits, later getting contracts with hotels etc. As I was hearing this, a beautiful blonde drove out in a new Range-Rover. The attendant’s daughter. The wealth and display thereof had been acquired within only 2 years of car parking activity.

Britain used to make things, sell things, and have decent professions like the Bar (now mostly trashed), but not now; these days, rather unpleasant nouveaux riches “coin it” as parasites, rather than useful private enterprise people. Car parking. Care homes. Buy-to-let.

The “unwanted truth”. The Twitter-twits and similar people will close their ears. They want to believe that mass immigration has nothing at all to do with the housing crisis, or low pay, restricted State benefits, crowded schools, hospitals, trains etc, even water shortages.

They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.

As Hitler said of the people of the Weimar Republic, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.

“Terrible news for Ukraine” – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of “America First,” writes The Guardian.

This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. “It’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,” said one senior European diplomat in Washington. “Vance is not our ally.”

Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.

Last week I made the decision to cancel my Conservative Party membership after nearly a decade. The party has failed to set out a positive vision on housing, the environment and investment, as well as a pragmatic stance on Brexit. It has also drifted from the values of inclusivity and aspiration which drew me to the party under Lord Cameron. This isn’t me leaving the Conservative party, it’s the Conservative party that has left me. Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

What I know about alpacas would probably fill only a very small postcard. I was surprised to read that they can eat fir or pine trees and the like. According to Wikipedia, their usual diet is different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpaca#Diet.

You still see tweets etc demanding that “the authorities” or “the Government” should “do something”. Such tweets (etc) miss the point. The “authorities”, “Government”, “Opposition”, mainstream media drones and scribblers, and the craven legal and judicial system, are those, or some of those, responsible, pushing mass immigration, pushing the lie that it is a good thing, and pushing the multikulti society which is in the process of destroying what is left of our own society.

Lost wars are never popular and, while the Israeli war machine is slowly grinding the life out of Gaza, there is no easy victory for the (Israeli) Jews in that theatre, and casualties are mounting (though a small fraction of those suffered by both Gazan combatants and non-combatants).

Meanwhile, it seems to me that the strategic position of Israel has never been so precarious, even in the 1950s. Hezbollah threatens the northern border, Iran is developing longer-range missiles, and the Israeli economy is battered by the Gaza conflict, the evacuation of the northern border areas, by the situation in the Red Sea, and by a worldwide consumer boycott. Also, Israeli society itself seems fragmented, disunited.

To my mind, and for the first time in my lifetime [b. 1956] one can see a possibility, even a probability, that the State of Israel may not survive for very long into the future. Ironically, the nuclear and other advanced weapons of Israel may prove to be irrelevant, in that what seems most likely is a mass “invasion” or insurrection by lightly-armed militants (as in the recent Hamas incursions into southern Israel). Israel cannot use its most powerful weapons on its own territory.

A word about junior doctors striking

I have little time for the selfish yet virtue-signalling junior doctors. Many of them are useless anyway, and now we see that, when push comes to shove, they are willing to abandon their patients in order to demand better pay.

Yes, there remains a “skeleton service”, but that is a conscience-salve equivalent to the blank round given secretly to a randomly-selected member of a firing squad.

What about that pay? In the first year of work, they get a basic salary around £33,000, but that can greatly increase for overtime work of various kinds. Many are making over £45,000.

Admittedly, £33,000 is no fortune, but that is, after all, for persons recently-qualified. There are huge numbers of people in the UK making less, even after 20 or 30 years of work, and that is even disregarding the unemployed, sick, disabled, pensioners etc.

A second year doctor in a hospital gets £37,000+ (up to about £50,000).

Salaried GPs get between £70,000 and £105,000. Partner-GPs get far more.

Hospital doctors get increments annually; a complicated series of payments for various training programmes and placements raises the salary of many far beyond the minima.

NHS consultants start (in their first year of consultancy) on basic pay of just under £100,000, and make far more with seniority etc.

I say nothing about whether doctors (at any level) “should” get more pay, simply that it is disgusting that the junior ones seem willing to abandon sick and helpless people, often very vulnerable people, often people in pain (and in need of strong painkillers which can only be prescribed by doctors, meaning the “men —and women— in white coats”).

If junior doctors and, beyond that, what is so often —and cringingly— called “our NHS” callously abandon the British people, it may be that the British people will eventually abandon the doctors and demand a health service that works for its patients and not mainly for the benefit of those that work in it.

The Jews cannot resist clowning, even while they are destroying the homes, health, and lives of two million people.

Not only in Israel/Palestine. In Ukraine, Zelensky was a cheap comedian before (?) he became President; and then look at (part-Jew) “Boris” Johnson.

No comment…

Actually, I do have one observation to make, which is that, obviously, in this conflict, truth has been the first casualty, but that, after truth, the next casualty has been the supposedly “elite” reputation of the Israeli Army.

I see that opinion polls are now indicating that Trump is gaining ground among the “young”, Hispanic, and black voters. That could be a gamechanger, if Trump can survive to be voted in and his second term inaugurated.

Strategically, Russia cannot lose and will not lose.

I remember visiting the UN Centre in Vienna sometime in the mid-1980s; cannot recall exact year now. I knew someone who was doing some temporary work there. I spent a couple of hours in the Centre. Various impressions, but my overall impression (of what — admittedly little— I saw) was that the place was a huge waste of space (and money). What is it for?

There is a daily tour for visitors but I did not experience it (because I was not a “tourist” visitor officially, though really I was).

“They” have control of the strategic or key areas of public life in the USA— the politicians, the mass media (especially TV), the film industry, the legal milieu (in the states that matter most: California, New York etc), publishing.

Ha ha. Rather vulgar, but it made me laugh!

I believe I read somewhere, years ago, that Israelis are often cruel to donkeys, which are such gentle animals, so ready to be friendly with humans. It is true that donkeys are over-worked and abused in other countries too, including Arab countries, Pakistan etc.

The Jew settlers in Israel/Palestine (often from the USA) are horrible, though, fully displaying the malice for which “they” have always been well-known.

I would have said “unbelievable”, but in the pathetic, washed-up UK of 2023 and 2024, all too believable, unfortunately.

Hard to believe, but there it is: “normal” life, or a semblance of it, despite the fact that that area, 2-3 miles north of Gaza City, has been attacked heavily from the air for two months, and despite the fact that heavy ground fighting has occurred recently at Beit Hanoun, only a mile or so away.

I have to admit that I have always found the idea of secret tunnels quite compelling. The KGB had a specific directorate specializing in tunnelling, though one finds little printed about it.

In the case of the Gaza tunnels, we are told that they extend for more miles overall than the London Underground, which has 250 miles of track, much of which, however, is overground. About 110 miles of the London Underground is actually below ground-level.

On that basis, only a small part, maybe 5-10 miles, or <10%, of the Gaza tunnels have been explored or destroyed by the invading Israeli forces so far. Information is obviously being restricted at present.

It makes me wonder whether similar tunnels do not also penetrate Israeli state territory from Lebanon or elsewhere, tunnels perhaps so far underground that they are undetectable.

Most of them are pretty useless.

Something that I, a one-time resident of the tri-state area (and qualified New York attorney and counsellor-at-law) never imagined I should see.

…and about 20,000 Gazan civilians, about half of whom were under 18, and a quarter of whom were babies, or small or young children.

12 metres, so nearly 40 feet wide. These are, in the context, war crimes.

Let them laugh. “They” will not be laughing in a few years’ time, and not only in Israel/Palestine…

Events are constantly putting Russia in a better position strategically.

When I was several months in Egypt in 1998, I used to really enjoy the flat bread fresh from local bakeries, usually bought from a hole in the wall about a foot or so wide. Still very warm, and with a unique taste not experienced anywhere else in the world. The (Egyptian) Arabic word for it is aysh, implying its importance to life.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12892891/labour-mp-dawn-butler-mumsnet-met-police-brianna-ghey-murder-trial-verdict.html

Labour MP Dawn Butler has vowed to report online message board Mumsnet to the Metropolitan Police after users on the site and other social media slammed her reaction to the Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict.

[Daily Mail]

This is where we are now in the UK. Anything online that some idiot like Dawn Butler dislikes is now “reported”, either to the police or other bodies. If a prosecution under Communications Act 2003, s.127, occurs —and despite the Law Commission having recommended repeal of that as “bad law”— anything highly critical or satirical is now deemed “offensive”, and in practice as “grossly offensive” (and so unlawful).

It is a Kafka-esque farce which I saw at first-hand as defendant in such a case only last month.

The law in this area gives carte blanche to, especially, the usual malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionist whiners, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, with the police and CPS as dupes.

Still, we must always remember that “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].

Dawn Butler’s actions give indication of what the likely “elected dictatorship” under Starmer may look like. Repressive.

Still, the only way at present to destabilize the mainly binary Lab/Con system is to knock out one or other main party. That will be the misnamed Conservative Party, which may be largely wiped out next year at the 2024 General Election, but the price for getting rid of the Conservative MPs will be a near-dictatorship under Starmer-Labour.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12893007/british-army-orders-400-soldiers-recruitment-offices.html

Britain’s rapidly shrinking military has prompted defence chiefs to shift hundreds of troops from the front line and into recruitment offices.

More than 400 soldiers from across the British Army have been ordered by top brass to join the effort to try and get more people to enlist.

It comes as figures from the Labour party revealed the Army has shrunk by more than 3,000 troops in the past 12 months, with 9,438 personnel leaving while only 6,308 joined.

Britain’s part-time reservist force is also shrinking despite recent efforts to grow it. Between October last year and September 2023, 5,580 reservists left and only 3,780 joined. 

The latest recruitment statistics from the Ministry of Defence reveal the total Army strength plummeted from 79,139 to 75,983 during the same period, as recruiters failed to hire fresh new personnel to plug the gaps, leaving key roles unfilled.

[Daily Mail]

So the first move in getting more troops on the front-line is to…take 400 soldiers out of the spearhead forces and sit them in offices?

Lions led by donkeys“, as someone once said.

Why do we actually bother with an Army and Navy now? They seem incapable of stopping the only invasion happening, or likely to happen these days— the migration-invasion.

Occasionally, some political cretin such as Gavin Williamson [https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/], or Ben Wallace, will “threaten” China or Russia but, as someone else once said, “a general without troops is naked indeed“.

Empty bluster from political nonentities just makes Britain look even weaker than it is, and that is pretty weak.

…and about a million so-called “legal” ones as well…

“According to unnamed sources from the Bundeswehr, there are serious problems with the training of Ukrainian soldiers in this country.These problems are mainly related to the poor selection of personnel sent for training. Namely, in the ranks of Ukrainian soldiers who came for training at the German training grounds, you can often see people in their later years of life, practically pensioners. It is not uncommon for German instructors to come into contact with people who have entered their 8th decade of life.”

As blogged previously, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder. The young mostly want to avoid service, either by emigration (illegal now after age 18), or by other means. The foreign chancers and adventurers and (ex-mobile laundry unit) Brit or American “soldiers” and/or “Soldier of Fortune” types who flocked to Ukraine last year are thin on the ground now that it becomes clear that the front-line is a near death-sentence, especially in the Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkov sectors of the front.

The Kiev regime high command has lost about 450,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or captured in the past 18 months, of which about 40,000 may have been lost during the recent/present failed counter-offensive.

Meanwhile, the Kiev regime is having to use press-gangs to “recruit” new soldiers, hauling people off the streets and into military custody.

Yes. Quite. A black woman in Bristol was or is facing charges based on an allegedly fraudulent crowdfunder (crowdfunded for ostensibly “lawsuit” purposes).

Do not know whether that matter is still active or not, but “Jack Monroe’s” anti-Lee Anderson/Martin Daubney crowdfunder was (as far as I could see) almost identical. She crowdfunded, quite obviously took the monies for her own use, then (having failed even to attempt suing the two in question) brazenly claimed to have given all those crowdfunded monies to unnamed foodbanks.

To my mind, it is a 50-50 chance that any Twitter/”X” poster still (apparently) naively supporting “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” is actually…”Jack Monroe” herself, i.e. a so-called “sock account”.

Yes, “austerity” etc, but also the several decades of mass immigration and now the cross-Channel migration invasion as well. Don’t be stupid enough to imagine that you can import, mostly over about 30 years, 10-15 million persons into the UK (“legal”, “illegal”, and those born to the first two categories) and maintain the civilized society and services which used to exist. Especially when most of the “imports” are —at best— useless people.

After the Sarah Moulds case, and other recent cases, something even worse:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/29/two-women-jailed-torturing-killing-pet-parrot-carlisle

Two women jailed for torturing and killing pet parrot in Carlisle.

Tracy Dixon and Nicola Bradley put oven cleaner and paint on friend’s bird and threw it in tumble dryer.

Two women who tortured and killed a friend’s pet parrot during a lengthy drinking session have been jailed by a judge who described their cruelty as “beyond comprehension”.

A court heard that Tracy Dixon, 47, and Nicola Bradley, 35, sprayed Sparky the female African grey parrot with Mr Muscle oven cleaner, daubed it with gloss paint and tried to feed it to a dog. They later threw it in a tumble dryer that was turned on.

Both women blamed the other. Judge Archer, sitting at Carlisle crown court on Tuesday, jailed them for 25 months each and said Dixon and Bradley had “together, sadistically tortured and essentially killed Sparky. It is frankly beyond comprehension how anyone could treat an animal in this way.”

[The Guardian]

Thoughts: first thought is that is good that the courts are, as it seems, finally using fairly new legislation to punish such wicked behaviour.

Second thought: the two women really deserve [reluctantly REDACTED], in my opinion (but the year in prison actually to be served— out of their 2.5-year sentences— will have to do).

Third thought: I am glad that the headline was not “abusers escape jail” or some such (complete with photo of smirking defendants and family/friends outside the court).

Final thought: while, thankfully, a case of such egregious cruelty is relatively rare, drunken sluts of that sort seem to exist in huge numbers in this country, and cruelty to animals is not the only way in which their very existence poisons society.

I may be wrong, but somehow such horrible useless people seem to me to be a phenomenon more often found in the north of England rather than in the south but, as said, I may be mistaken in that.

I should have liked to have seen more detail about the defendants and their background, lifestyle etc, for sociological reasons.

Recent estimates of those killed, wounded (badly) or captured on the Kiev-regime side since early 2022 are in the region of 450,000. The Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder, having to use press-gangs to haul likely recruits off the streets, and making it harder generally to avoid or evade military service.

If you, a British person, find the roads and railways crowded, the hospitals full, the NHS GP unable or unwilling to properly monitor your health, your pay or State benefits inadequate, housing non-existent (or sky-high in cost), then you should know what is at least a very large part of the reason— 4,000+ across the Channel every month, and another 80,000+ every month entering by quasi-legal means (“students”, “family members”, “fiances/fiancees”, so called “key-skilled workers” etc).

A killer driver who buried a cyclist’s body in the Scottish wilderness six years ago after mowing him down has today been jailed for 12 years.

Alexander ‘Sandy’ McKellar, 33, and his twin brother Robert were driving along the A82 in Argyll, Scotland, when he knocked down and killed cyclist Tony Parsons, 63.

The pair tried to cover up the crime in September 2017 by burying the former Navy petty officer on the nearby 9,000-acre Auchy estate, inside a peat bog where animal carcasses were dumped.

Three years later, McKellar confessed to his terrified fiancée Caroline Muirhead what he had done.

Ms Muirhead, 32, was later taken to the burial site, which she marked out by dropping an empty can of Red Bull – allowing police to pinpoint the body’s location.

Today at the High Court in Glasgow, McKellar was jailed for 12 years while his brother was sentenced to five years and three months.

[Daily Mail]

What always amazes me, leaving aside the moral or ethical rights and wrongs, is how many people feel the need to confess crimes, even serious crimes, to girlfriends or stray people. I can think of several famous or infamous cases, including several high-profile murder cases, where that was the case.

One was that of a pair of brothers who killed their (possibly —though never proven— abusive) millionaire adoptive (I think) parents on Jersey decades ago; one brother, the actual killer, confessed while “in his cups” to a girlfriend he met in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil and while on his yacht there. She testified against him at his trial, the primary witness evidence of importance.

https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/1994/8/09/cotidiano/19.html;

According to this report https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2006/05/15/killer-wants-to-come-home/, he also confessed to his grandfather.

Incidentally, Bamber had been another adopted child.

While understanding the need of some people for “absolution” after confession (as, in effect, in Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment), I do think that such a need shows weakness.

Some people are just better than others at keeping a secret, I suppose.

I never had much time for Trump, but look at the present alternatives! Biden, an unpleasant man who poses as affable “uncle” (’nuff said…), and who is plainly suffering from some level of dementia. Then there is his V-P, Kamala Harris. Absolutely asinine, with not an interesting thought in her little mind.

Scandinavia (especially Denmark and Sweden) went through a similar slide in social norms: at first (1950s, 1960s) liberalism, then (1970s, 1980s) increasingly dark decadence, until (from the 1990s, and along with the migration-invasion), the societies in question became such as should really be purged from top to bottom.

As for the UK, not much different, really.

It is, in a sense, strange that the USA persists with NATO, when (roughly) 95%, or more, of the military-destructive power of NATO lies in US weapons and support. Even in terms of conventional weapons, and troops, almost all of that is American. Even in terms of money— 75% of the money spent in NATO is American: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO.

NATO, post-1989, is really a fig-leaf for the New World Order (NWO) programme. Having over 30 “partners” with the USA makes the programme look better, more inclusive etc.

Is that to pacify the restive American electorate which wonders why hundreds of billions of dollars are propping up Zelensky’ brutal, shambolic and totally corrupt “failed state” at the same time as many American cities are riven by crime, disorder, drugs, poverty etc?

As said above on the blog, Sarah Moulds was “lucky in her jury”. The trial was at Lincoln Crown Court, so in a largely rural county. That may have been one factor.

I would not let her near any animals or children. She may not be a sadist, as such, but obviously has a hot temper, at the very least.

It seems that what is left of the Kiev-regime counter-offensive is concentrated now in that southern part of the overall front.

In Britain, they [defined] the problem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine [which is] fatal for Ukraine.

The lack of personnel could be fatal for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes The Telegraph . Volunteers are no longer enough to maintain the combat capability of the army, and the West will not be able to help.

The combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is under threat not only because of the colossal losses and lack of people, but because of the weather. The autumn months traditionally bring downpours that turn the soft soil of Eastern Europe into thick mud in which tanks, armored vehicles and artillery get bogged down.

All this can stop the advance of the Ukrainian army. Russian victory is finally around the corner as Western support begins to wane. If Kyiv cannot break through Russian positions now, then most likely it will never succeed, the author believes.”

Anyone who supports or promotes mass immigration or migration invasion into the UK is, in real —not legalistic— terms, just a traitor.

I recall that Michael Palin, about 18 years ago, in Michael Palin’s New Europe, sympathetically interviewed both Yulia Tymoshenko (at the time, Prime Minister of Ukraine) and her then very attractive daughter, who was about 25 and was a former student at the LSE and, according to Wikipedia, Rugby School (I had thought Cheltenham Ladies’ College; maybe I mixed her up with someone else).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yulia_Tymoshenko; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenia_Tymoshenko.

At that time, Eugenia Tymoshenko was married to an Englishman called Sean Carr, a rock music singer, who was then in his late thirties. He was also featured on Palin’s show. A bearded motorcyclist. The couple divorced about five years later.

Since Palin did his TV show, Yulia Tymoshenko has been convicted of corruption etc, been imprisoned, appealed, been released, and is now an MP again, and the leader of a political party. Her daughter has remarried and has a high profile but is not a politician, and the English (I think Yorkshire) rock music person, Sean Carr, died in 2018 at the relatively early age of 49 or 50.

At that time I had no idea that he was also both a drunk and a cocaine abuser. A country less decadent than the UK would have dealt with Gove long ago, and certainly would never allow the bastard into government.

Saw a Russian film this evening: Silver Skates, set in 1900. Rather un-Russian in that it was quite watchable, had a plot that was not obscure, and a relatively happy ending. Not bad. Well put-together.

Second tweet not entirely accurate. While it is true that GCHQ was established under that name only in 1946, it seamlessly took over the similar though (in the pre-1939 era) much smaller org known as the Government Code & Cypher School, which operated from a number of places between the two world wars, one being a station or outstation located in the Dog Kennel Hill (East Dulwich borders) and Denmark Hill border of South London. That base, not mentioned in the Wikipedia entry below, was active certainly until the late 1980s, though I think not used by GCHQ (possibly by MI5 or other org ) at that time. For all I know, it may still be in use, if not turned into a housing development as has been almost everything else in Southern England.
