“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.

🤣🤣🤣 this is over a year ago – Jack Monroe had the chance, crowdfunded the money to do so, lied for a year that she had initiated action, then didn't. She's since refused to reveal proof of the amount raised & where it's gone.
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.
Ann-Marie, Jack Monroe does very little to help anyone but herself. She is simply a self promoter. In this example you will note that she isn't happy that more people are helping/being helped. She's just angry she isn't getting credit/money for it. pic.twitter.com/ag8bgkrIyB
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.
From the newspapers
After the Sarah Moulds case, and other recent cases, something even worse:
“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.

True, but that does not, or need not, imply that Putin, or any one individual or force (e.g. Kiev-regime intelligence service) is behind all of those events, though of course those thought to have been dismissed could only have been dismissed by Putin.
Not “claims“; it is simply a fact. In fact, the same happened with Gordon Brown (who went on to lose the 2010 General Election), Theresa May (who went on to win the 2017 General Election), “Boris” Johnson (who went on to win the 2019 General Election), and Liz Truss.

Then the German army lost its air support. Therefore, although it had good weapons, even tanks that had just come off the assembly line, it could not fight effectively. The same is happening now in Ukraine.“

Savitri Devi said that a house cat was more a part of nature than a mixed person. If you look at the genetic distance between races and the the gap between them and mixed people you'll see mixed people aren't even their parents. They are a separate species.
That is very true. I have known several mixed-race persons in my life; most if not all were not only very different from their parents (where I also knew them) in both looks and temperament, but had considerable psychological problems.

Looks as though Putin is reasserting control after what I called at the time a modern-day “revolt of the Streltsy” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streltsy_uprising] a few months ago. Not exactly a coup or putsch, but something more akin to a demand for privileges and participation in policy-making.
All the same, Putin may regret the apparent passing into history of the Wagner Group. It fought well, despite having been composed, in part, of persons with little conventional military experience.
The brunt of the fighting in Ukraine (and possibly beyond) will now fall upon armoured units, artillery, and air power, not mass infantry formations such as Wagner Group.
Russia cannot “lose” the Ukraine war, unless there is upheaval and/or revolt in Russia itself. Putin seems to have taken the view that Wagner Group had to be dispersed in power and its leaders removed.
Of course, it may be that the air incident was simply an accident, or an assassination by others, eg Kiev-regime services, but those possibilities seem less likely.

Failing miserably so….most students' critical thinking skills sadly lacking these days, in an era where everything is reduced to 10 second exposure to information via Instagram etc…academic model very ill-equipped.
Valid points, the least valid being that of freelance scribbler and talking head, Marina Purkiss, though her comment is in tune with the attitude of many, who think that all that matters is “how people did” in life (i.e. whether they became wealthy and/or famous), and that temporary worldly “success” validates, eg, a nonsensical “degree”, and/or falling standards made “OK” by award inflation.
Incidentally, Marina Purkiss thinks that “alright” is how one spells “all right“. Her “degree” in “marketing” from the University of Portsmouth seems to have failed to correct that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Purkiss.
It may be that the time has come to revisit the whole mediaeval “degree” concept: first “degree”, “Master’s degree”, “Doctorate”, which designations align with the mediaeval guild idea— apprentice, journeyman, master craftsman (also later imported into freemasonry, of course).
Universities should promote both learning and research, and least of all be what they mostly now are, degree mills (of varying quality) where mainly young people get a piece of paper entitling them to at least try to make a living in various ways.
In the United States, they try to make people who are aiming at becoming medical doctors, or lawyers, less narrow by making them take a so-called “undergraduate degree” (lasting four years rather than the usual English three years) before even embarking on their professionally-focussed medical or legal studies.
The result of that is of doubtful utility (I having met numerous American lawyers, though not many doctors). It also means that the cost of becoming a doctor or lawyer in the USA, especially at the more prestigious institutions, is prohibitive. 7+ years of expense.
The cost, including subsistence, of going to somewhere like Harvard Medical School is at least USD $100,000 a year (about 3x an equivalent British example).

My quarrel with the “intervention” in Afghanistan is not that it happened, but that the “West” (NWO/ZOG) had no intention to rule the country, nor to improve it. What the “West” should have done was to ignore all local political and paramilitary leaders, eliminate them if they refused to knuckle down, destroy all armed elements within the country (including all individuals carrying arms more than 500 yards from their own homes), then rule the country directly and, if necessary, forcefully. Allow their Islamic religion but eliminate those using it as a cloak to attack modern European-origined civilization. Educate children, including girls.
Alexander the Great took over many countries, but then also ruled them, as did, in their day, the Romans, the British and other European peoples, the Soviet Union etc.
Seizing a country is just the first step. Establishing a lasting imperium is also essential. Napoleon understood that. He remade Europe in his own preferred image.
Afghanistan was too tough a nut in the end for Alexander’s successors, for the Mughals, and also the British, but the British of the 19thC did not have helicopters and drones.
There was an attempt, in and after 1979, by Soviet forces, to rule Afghanistan, to turn it into a semi-Soviet country. That failed partly, perhaps mainly, because the USA funnelled arms, ammunition, and money to the mujaheddin (including Osama bin Laden). The Americans interfered, and without that interference, the Soviet forces may well have prevailed.
The Americans (and Brits etc), never tried to properly rule Afghanistan or found a new society there (not outside parts of Kabul, at least), and never tried to fully suppress rebellion.

The by-election was triggered by the standing-down of the Conservative Party MP David Warburton, following multiple allegations (some admitted) of misconduct: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Warburton].
In 2019, Warburton received nearly 56% of the vote, with the LibDems in second place on 26%.
Labour has no chance here and, on paper, this would normally be another easy win for the Con Party, but the manner of departure of the last MP, added to the anger across the country aimed at the Con Party government of Sunak, may mean a LibDem by-election upset, particularly as this is merely a by-election.
In 2019, only 4 candidates stood (Con, Lab, LibDem, and Green); at the by-election, there are also Christian People’s Alliance, UKIP, Reform UK, and an Independent.
The bookies’ favourite is the LibDem, a lady from a local farming family who is also a local councillor. She seems to hit all the buttons, even the sex one, being female after the defaults of male MP Warburton (sex pest allegations, and connected cocaine abuse).
The bookmakers have the LibDem, Sarah Dyke, as even-money favourite, with the Con Party candidate on 20-1, and Labour at 250-1. The rest are not even quoted. You could probably get 1000-1 against any of them.
Experience shows that bookmakers are a poor guide to by-election results, but the LibDem looks pretty sure to win this, especially when many Labour supporters will be voting tactically, and many former Con voters displaying apathy and/or unwillingness to vote for the present Government.
The by-election of course triggered by the standing-down of “Boris” Johnson.
The 2019 election attracted 12 candidates, because the seat of the sitting Prime Minister is always popular. “Boris”-idiot won with 52.6% in 2019, with Labour garnering 37.6%. Only one other candidate had a saved deposit (the LibDem, on 6.3%).
The by-election has 17 candidates, among them the TV actor, Laurence Fox, for Reclaim. The bookmakers only rate two seriously— Con and Labour. The Labour Party candidate is quoted at just better than even-money, with Conservative Party candidate at 9/1. The Labour price has not altered much, but the Conservative has gone out from an opening 3/1 to 9/1, and the LibDems are now at 1000/1. The third-placed runner is now Reform UK (but only on 300/1).
“A nurse sitting with her husband drinking coffee said: “The biggest issue is ULEZ. I’ve retired from the NHS after 49 years. What about the carers who can’t make visits any more?”
People in Uxbridge tend not to conform to media stereotypes, for example that the NHS is in an unbearable state of crisis. The nurse said: “If I had my time again I’d do the same job again. I love my job.” As she walks round Uxbridge she is often greeted by her former patients.
How will she vote in the by-election? “Up until Jeremy Corbyn I was a Labour person,” she said. “Labour looked after the schools, the hospitals and the elderly.
“But the party has changed now and I’m afraid I have no confidence in them. Keir Starmer wouldn’t come out and actually go against Sadiq Khan [on ULEZ] in a television interview, when he was asked about him.“
“‘It can’t be any worse’: In Boris Johnson’s back yard, Britons are desperate for a change.
Uxbridge, like Britain, is in a rut.
The town is where the capital’s westward sprawl ends. Two Tube lines serving central London finish their journeys here, as picturesque shades of green mingle with the gray and brown hues of suburban developments. But its high streets are shrinking and the local hospital is one of the worst in Britain – rated “inadequate” by the sector’s watchdog.
And nationwide, soaring inflation, public sector strikes and the aftermath of Brexit have left families poorer and services creaking to the point of collapse. Renewing a passport, taking a train, buying groceries, seeing a doctor – virtually everything is more difficult in Britain than it once was.
Change is in the air, and Labour is set to benefit. Opinion polls confidently predict the party, led by Keir Starmer, a former senior prosecutor, will win power in a general election expected next year.
But Uxbridge is a test case for that theory, and tensions are high. “You can see the national polls, just like I can see, but these are real votes,” Steve Reed, the party’s shadow justice secretary tasked with running the local campaign, told CNN on a hot afternoon on the high street. He predicts a “tighter race” than some media have suggested.
A handful of media outlets, including CNN, were denied the chance to interview Labour’s candidate or join a canvassing session, an unusually skittish move from a party tipped to win a by-election.
“People are not stupid. People understand the challenges facing the country,”
Some voters are more blunt. “They’re basically saying we’ll carry on business as normal,” says Mick, 61, who runs a food stall near Uxbridge station and has voted Labour his entire life. “So why are we voting?”
“I’d like to think [Labour would] like to do more for the working people,” Tracy Peabody, a dental nurse and mother of three young boys, told CNN on a high street in Ruislip Manor. “But I can’t help thinking it’s two wings from the same bird, all singing from the same song sheet,” she added of Labour and the Conservatives.
Just three-and-a-half years after one of the party’s worst-ever electoral defeats, the outcome of Thursday’s vote in Uxbridge will indicate how far Labour has come.“
[CNN]
Maybe not so obvious as at Somerton and Frome, but here too it looks as if the Conservative Party is facing an uphill struggle. Uxbridge is a more typical contest though, maybe, compared to Somerton and Frome, and one in which many voters despise all the System parties, and particularly Con and Lab. A battle of apathies?
Selby and Ainsty
The Selby and Ainsty constituency is unusual in that it has been represented since creation in 2010 by only one MP, a Conservative, who seems to be abandoning ship in the moral certainty that the national unpopularity of the Sunak government will wash him away at the next general election.
I do not know why the departed MP, Nigel Adams, chose to stand down in 2023 rather than wait until 2024 and the next general election. Maybe he did not want the opprobrium of having been voted out. Rumour has it that he wanted a peerage and, when not given one, resigned in order to lash out at his own party. Maybe.
Adams won his four elections convincingly, and increased his vote share steadily from 49.4% in 2010 to 60.3% in 2019.
Labour scored about a quarter of the vote in 2010, 2015, and 2019 but, interesting to see, managed over a third of the vote in 2017, when Corbyn was still Labour leader.
12 candidates are contesting the by-election, but this will be between Con and Lab. The bookmakers have Labour just better than even-money, but Con on about 13/2. A few weeks ago, the result seemed more speculative.
Political websites and newspapers have taken an interest in the Selby contest, perhaps because it may give a clue as to the Northern “Red Wall” seats.
“I’d like to think they’d like to do more for the working people,” Tracy Peabody, a dental nurse and mother of three young boys, told CNN on a high street in Ruislip Manor. “But I can’t help thinking it’s two wings from the same bird, all singing from the same song sheet,” she added of Labour and the Conservatives.
Just three-and-a-half years after one of the party’s worst-ever electoral defeats, the outcome of Thursday’s vote in Uxbridge will indicate how far Labour has come.“
“Labour and the Conservative party may have found a tougher opponent than one another as they prepare to fight a by-election in Selby and Ainsty this week: entrenched despondency among an electorate that’s tired of Westminster drama and the challenges posed by the cost of living crisis.”
“Selby local Rachel Young paused while walking around the shops to watch the candidates for Thursday’s poll take part in a televised hustings for the BBC in the town centre last week.
She told PoliticsHome that she still has not decided who to vote for, but thinks that many people she knows will simply not bother at all.”
For me, what will be most interesting will be to see whether Labour wins because people have voted out of enthusiasm (unlikely) or simply because former Conservative voters have given up bothering to vote (more likely). The numbers will tell the story.
My guess is that the LibDems will win Somerton and Frome; a meaningless protest vote. As to the others, Labour will probably score in both, but by default only, because former Conservative voters will just stay home. Only very silly people believe that Labour-label in government will be much, if at all, better than the present shambles.

All the stuff in the msm about barges and cruise liners is flim-flam designed to obscure a few basic facts, such as that one barge can “house” 500 migrant-invaders. On many days, twice that number arrive in 24 hours! So you would need about 400-800 or more barges extra even in one year.
Also, the number of migrant-invaders coming “legally” is ten times the number arriving in rubber boats.

Well, this week brings another victory over political journal John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 4/10. I did not know the answers to question 5 (actually, I “hit the post” with the name), or questions 6 and 9, and I pretty much guessed numbers 3 and 7, if truth be known.
“The Home Office is planning to house hundreds of migrants in marquees across the country.
The government’s plans come as today it was revealed that the number of Channel crossings by people in small boats so far this month is now higher than the number for June last year.
According to official figures, 312 asylum seekers were intercepted in eight boats by UK officials yesterday.
[“Intercepted“? You mean “ferried to the UK”].
This brings the official number of migrant crossings this month to 3,303 in 68 boats – an average of 49 people crammed into each inflatable dinghy or other small craft.

“Iceland suspends annual whale hunt in move that likely spells end to controversial practice.
Decision comes after a government report found the hunt does not comply with Iceland’s Animal Welfare Act.
Iceland’s government has said it is suspending this year’s whale hunt until the end of August due to animal welfare concerns, a move that is likely to bring the controversial practice to an end.
Animal rights groups and environmentalists hailed the decision, with the Humane Society International calling it “a major milestone in compassionate whale conservation”.
Shocking video clips broadcast by the veterinary authority showed a whale’s agony as it was hunted for five hours.
The country has only one remaining whaling company, Hvalur, and its licence to hunt fin whales expires in 2023. Another company stopped for good in 2020, saying it was no longer profitable.
Iceland’s whaling season runs from mid-June to mid-September, and it is doubtful Hvalur would head out to sea that late in the season.
Annual quotas authorise the killing of 209 fin whales – the second-longest marine mammal after the blue whale – and 217 minke whales, one of the smallest species. But catches have fallen drastically in recent years due to a dwindling market for whale meat.

What now? Is there time (and the requisite high-level military support) for Putin to order a massive and unrestrained strategic missile attack (a last-ditch and bitter action to achieve battlefield victory) on Kiev, regardless of the Wagner Group situation? We have to just sit and wait to see.

Well, if Prigozhin actually topples Putin, then he follows in the tradition of Russian revolutionary leaders (and others) having (in the Russian word) “sat” in prison. Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky etc. They were there mainly for political crimes, though, whereas Prigozhin was imprisoned for crimes of acquisition: fraud, theft, robbery, burglary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Prigozhin#Early_life. He did 9 years altogether.
Also, the conditions of confinement for the Bolshevik leaders were comfortable, once they arrived in Siberian exile. Houses in remote villages, not much restraint on their liberty, and Lenin was even allowed a hunting rifle with ammunition, as was, I think, Stalin!
Prigozhin’s 9 years of Soviet-era prison must have been far less easy. He’s a tough ex-con, among other things.
At any rate, it looks at present as if PMC Wagner is the Praetorian Guard of Russia now. Tomorrow? Maybe, maybe not— “tomorrow is another day“…

The lack of real ideology (going beyond vague nationalism and fawning over replicas of pre-1917 Russianism such as the Orthodox Church) in Putin’s Russia worked only so long as there was relative peace and prosperity. Now, the peace and much of the prosperity has gone or is going, and hope with it, and that leaves a vacuum. Russians need more than bread alone.
As regular readers of the blog will know, yesterday afternoon I was at the Magistrates’ Court at Southampton for a while, at a case management hearing in relation to the prosecution of me instigated by the evil and malicious pack known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (any trial will not be until November or December 2023, or possibly even on a date in 2024).
Later, in mid-afternoon, I was driving out through the nearby suburbs of Southampton. I happened to pass a pharmacy or, as people used to say, a chemist’s shop, on a mini-roundabout: the Bassett Pharmacy.
The Bassett Pharmacy, which I recognized from having seen a picture in the newspapers a couple of years ago, was called the Sunak Pharmacy at one time, and was owned until 2014 by the mother of Rishi Sunak, the Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister.
The Bassett Pharmacy sits on the corner of the road, next to a dentist’s surgery; there are a couple of other shops, one called, amusingly, “Talons— hair and nails”. Round the corner, a scruffy small area with cars parked, then, around another, similar, corner, an Indian-Bangladeshi restaurant, a cafe, and several more shops.
What struck me was not that a prime minister might have come from such humble circumstances —that is not so unusual, thinking of Mrs. Thatcher, John Major and others— but that Sunak should have originated there (I think that his family lived in a house not far away) and yet now is almost suffused with great wealth by reason of his own finance-business activities and also marriage into one of India’s richest families. What a contrast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rishi_Sunak.
I wonder whether the money-juggler will still be Prime Minister this time next year. The opinion polls say no, but these things rarely work out as expected. I have no completely fixed view, despite the evident incompetence of the present government.

“The family who were caught on CCTV ‘doing a runner’ after enjoying £215 slap-up Father’s Day lunch at a Cornish gastropub have settled their tab.
The group of six allegedly ran up the bill at The Fisherman’s Arms, Newlyn, in Penzance, Cornwall on Sunday and walked off without paying after saying they were going for a cigarette.”
So-called “Travellers” (Irish “tinkers”). Quite typical behaviour. I once witnessed such an incident myself. I was in a cafe at Dover, near the port, and waiting to embark for France with my car. On entering the cafe, I saw that the main area was empty, but that a noisy group of Irish persons, aged from 40+ to small children, had been put in a side room. They were both eating and drinking (beer).
After about 20 minutes, they all came out into the main area, and while one or two talked to the two Italian (I think) staff, the rest went out into the street. The two inside seemed to be preparing to pay, but made up a story about how others were going to pay. One of the two, then the other, went “to fetch the others” but of course disappeared. The waiters ran out and took the number of one of the cars. They also called the police.
Well, there were two minor sequels to that incident. The first was the same day. On arrival in Calais or Boulogne (I forget which, and was a regular arrival at both, in those days), and on going back to my car on the ferry, I noticed the small crowd of foot passengers at a disembarkation point. One of them was a tall girl aged about 18-20, who was part of that “tinker” group. I noticed that she was now alone, and trying to “play grey”, i.e. blending in with the other foot passengers.
The other members of the “tinker” group were not there. Had they stayed in the UK? Had they gone to vehicles? Who knows?
The other sequel was that I stopped by the same cafe about 6 months later, and asked whether the police had done anything. Apparently not, though that may have been because the registration number taken was not a known one (probably false).
Statement
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I am being prosecuted on 5 counts of breach of the notorious “bad law” known as Communications Act 2003, s. 127, relating to five blog posts allegedly posted by me.
Political “crime”.
I have already stated that I shall not be blogging in detail about the case until it is concluded.
Today, I attended the magistrates’ court for a case management hearing. At that hearing, various directions were given. The only ones of interest to readers of the blog are that there will be another case management hearing later in the year (in October), and that a trial date has not as yet been fixed but possible dates are in the latter half of November 2023. If those dates prove ineffective, then it may be that the trial of this entirely pointless and malicious prosecution will not take place until December 2023, or even a later date, i.e. in 2024.
I shall blog in detail about the matter once the trial has been held (assuming that one is held).

However, beyond the obvious hypocrisy, breaking of stupid “rules” etc, there is something more important, the fact that the whole structure of instant “laws”, “rules” etc was part of a massive scam on the public, both in the UK and across much of the world. “Covid” was never the modern Black Death it was claimed (and weaponized) to be. Scamdemic. Panicdemic.
It is clear when you look at those stupid and drunken young faces in the video that they have no fear of the so-called “deadly virus”. No fear at all. Why? Because they knew —100%— that there was nothing to fear.
The forces and puppets of Evil now know that a majority of the public can be easily controlled via a combination of fear, fear propaganda, social pressure, and repressive laws and “rules” brought in at will by whoever is notionally in power (in fact, political puppets and pygmies such as “Boris” Johnson, little Matt Hancock etc).
“Covid” (as an existential threat to large populations) was the biggest hoax since the “gas chambers” part of the whole WW2 “holocaust” narrative (farrago) was invented in the decades after WW2.

I don’t care about Shaun Bailey having been at a secret party during the stupid “lockdown” of the UK. I do care that a West Indian fake and freeloader is being elevated to the House of Lords when he is not only a freeloader but also (in effect) embezzler of monies from the charity he himself set up. The police investigated him, but in the end the CPS decided not to prosecute him. He may, they thought, only have been profligate and/or negligent, rather than an outright thief. Just the sort of person to be in the House of Lords, making law for the British public…oh, no, wait…
Oh, and a failed electoral candidate, rejected by the voters both as would-be MP and would-be Mayor of London.
My friend brought me some child mutilation bunting.
While it is amusing to see that rubbish going up in flames, this is not serious political action. It is akin to the occasions when, for example, Israeli flags are burned, stepped upon etc by various factions or individuals, or when idiots desecrate Jewish graves. What on Earth is the point?
I do not have a lot of time for “gesture politics”.

Jack Monroe bootstrapcook deleted this after she realised it would expose her for the hate filled, emotionally manipulative narcissistic conwoman she truly is. Lucky there's plenty of us screenshot it so she can't deny the truth. It's over Jack. Refund the money. https://t.co/ibRH63oTT0
She claims, this seething mess of chaotic, drug/drink-fuelled scamming and lying, to have a “spreadsheet” that she consults! Apart from that very implausible lie as to the “sue Lee Anderson” crowdfunder monies, the money that more than 400 utter mugs are still sending to her monthly via Patreon goes to her, not to “literally starving people“, or any foodbanks. Several thousand pounds per month. An outright thief and obvious psychopathic type.
If you can't beat them, join them. So today I'm taking a leaf out of Jack Monroe bootstrapcook book. "THE TORIES. BOILING SOAP. INEDIBLE SLOP. I AM SO POOR IN MY £800K BUNGALOW. LEE ANDERSON". Sorted. Send donations to imathievingconwoman@psypal.me & you'll get nothing in return.
Why have Essex Police not properly investigated this blatant fraudster?
Yup, if I had a platform of over 500k followers I'd be able to do far more. Sadly I'm just a lowly nobody. Imagine having a platform that size and wasting it on suicide baiting and vomit inducing 'recipes'. Makes me sick. She's horrific.
She SAYS she's donated it, but refuses to say how much was raised, who it was donated to, how much, or offer proof. And we know how worthless Jack Monroe's word is.
Learnt at the age of 51 to never give anyone money on the internet. Disappointed it was Jack Monroe #bootstrapcook who has taught me this lesson. Thought she was one of the good ones. To not even know who my hard earned money has helped is insulting . If she has actually given it
Of course “Jack Monroe” has not “given” the poor scammed lady’s money to anyone, unless to the local drug dealer or off-licence, or maybe some online furniture store or Tiffany jewellery outlet.
Sadly yes – lots of us independently screenshot it, guessing she'd likely delete when she got over the fit of narc rage she typed it in. We know Jack Monroe bootstrapcook has form for dirty deletes so people are ready to capture the evidence. Disgusting, manipulative tweet hey?
As remarked before, under other circumstances “Jack Monroe” might have become a career criminal of a more usual kind, or (in my opinion) even something like a serial killer, looking at her fairly obvious psychopathic tendencies.
As it is, she has cheated the elderly, poor and disabled, and is now defended only by the very very silly and unthinking, the unfocussedly-naive, Guardian-reading biens-pensants, crazed elderly lesbians and “trans”-persons, and “whiteknighting” men of 60+, often with mental or alcohol “issues”. Even the minor “celebrities”, such as “consumer rights” waste of space, Alice Beer, are now giving her the cold shoulder.
Look, though, at the standard of English thought acceptable from Daily Mail scribblers: “One motorist, who the campaigners explained their cause too, seemed fairly unimpressed“!
The scribbler, one Dan Sales, might like to amend that to: “one motorist, to whom the campaigners explained their cause...”; “to“, not “too“, and “to whom“…
Journalistic standards, as with other standards, have fallen though the floor in this country.
“Moment furious teacher berates pupil for questioning classmate’s claim that she ‘identifies as a CAT’ and for saying there are ‘two genders’.
The 13-year-old pupil said she was made to stay after the class at Rye College in East Sussex on ‘life education’ by the teacher, who can be heard in a secret recording calling her view that gender is binary ‘really despicable’ and ‘very sad’.
In the three-and-half-minute recording, the angry teacher is heard speaking to two girls and says they would report the children to a senior colleague, and they needed a ‘proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion’.
The recording begins with the teacher asking one of the pupils: ‘How dare you? You just really upset someone, saying things like [you] should be in an asylum.’
One of the girls responds: ‘I didn’t say that, I just said if they want to identify as a cow or something, then they are genuinely unwell, and they’re crazy.
‘You were questioning their identity,’ the teacher replies. ‘Where did you get this idea from that there’s only two genders?’
‘I just said my opinion,’ the pupil replies. ‘If I respect their opinion, can’t they respect mine?’

We are pretty much there already…
That schoolteacher should not be a schoolteacher.

Incidentally, once again the Daily Mail falls down linguistically, using “they” when what is meant is “she“. In this case, though, it may be deliberate sabotage from a scribbler or sub-editor.
“A hotel tycoon dubbed the ‘Asylum King’ lives in a £3.4million Cheshire mansion and is raking in nearly £100,000 of profit every day despite his chain being ranked the worst in the UK for an entire decade.

Mr Langsam – the son of Jewish parents who fled Hitler – studied economics at Aberystwyth University because, he once joked, it was the only place that would let him do so after he failed his maths O-level.“

Need one say anything? “Them”, again…
In fact, the 5-star Britannia Hotel in Grosvenor Place, London, which was opposite the U.S. Embassy in days of yore, had to change its name (I think) about 30 years ago, so as not to be connected with the Britannia Hotels group (that Grosvenor Square hotel has had a few name changes, and is now called the Biltmore Mayfair, charging £500+ per night).

So much for the great Kiev-regime “counteroffensive”…
Incredible that some “Jack Monroe” supporters are still fixated on the idea that “Jack Monroe” is “doing good” in some unspecified way. Absolutely stupid, absolutely unevidenced.
Why does Jack Monroe want CCJs? It's been speculated it's arrogance, poverty cosplay or disorganisation. But it's been years and she doesn't advertise them, so it's arrogance and / or something else. I suspect it's arrogance + being so rich she knows she'll NEVER need credit. https://t.co/OaNnkJhkeO
“Jack Monroe” will certainly never need a credit line so long as (as of today) 413 utter mugs are each still willing to send her, every month, between £3.50 and £44 via Patreon. I had assumed that most of them would be sending the minimum, and probably none the £44 a month maximum. Apparently, I was wrong. Some misguided people were —and maybe still are— sending the max. Crazy.
Ana has uploaded all three parts now of her mini Wiki on Jack Monroe's grift. Doubtless there will now be a witch hunt to unmask her for 'clout chasing' and someone will launch an 'Ana' instagram page to discredit her. https://t.co/7LKbfjzY0V
Here's the truth about my case. It's going to be a long thread, sorry. There's just so much to say.
1. I did sign up on 7th January 2023. I read the Guardian article on 8th January and sent her an email asking for a refund with my details. I never got a reply.
Seeing as @guardian and @shattenstone platformed her and her grift not that long ago, I think they have a responsibility to highlight this and their part in it.
— Claire | Pictomancer ✨ (@claireLTdoodle) June 18, 2023
Also, morning TV show This Morning, whose “Consumer Rights” editor, Alice Beer, recently tweeted in support of the fraudster (then weakly deleted later). No wonder “Jack Monroe” gets away with so much, with all those “friends” in the mainstream media.
It’s all very odd.
Maybe you can ask her to refund your money. Anything she has donated is off her own bat, she had no right to use other people’s money for anything other than what she said it was initially being raised for.
Jack Monroe doesn't even notice, or say thank you when £200 is sent to her – that indicates just how much cash she is grifting, and how self entitled she is to not even acknowledge a donation.@bootstrapcook is such a vile, insufferable, narcissistic, self-entitled charlatan. pic.twitter.com/CueNj45Fvv
She still hasn’t, to my knowledge. I wish that she would sue Jack Monroe @BootstrapCook too… Just imagine how many people have flung JM a fiver or a tenner or £100-200 as a one-off/regular donation under the illusion that she was in extreme poverty (rather than extreme luxury)…

More likely, China would sit back and wait until NATO states and Russia were both badly damaged or even (as major powers) wiped out. China would then be the major, and perhaps only really big power in the world.
Even without that happening, one might wonder what would happen after a nuclear war between the USA/NATO and Russia. Leaving aside the contamination of air, water, and earth, what of the strategic situation? Large areas of the world would either be uninvolved or substantially uninvolved: Australasia, South and Central America, Africa, much of the Pacific region. India. Maybe China, again.
That then leads us to consider what the world would look like after the (radioactive) dust settles. No post-1945 American hegemony. No pre-1914 European hegemony. No Russian hegemony. Everyone looks to China, of course, but even that is by no means certain. Without American and European markets for its manufactured goods, the Chinese economy would stumble at best, fall to pieces at worst.
Yes, China would, at first, still have its vast armies and other forces, and nuclear weapons of its own, but for how long would its military strength endure, once its economy is destroyed?
American travelogue
Darkest America.
While the Biden administration sends billions to the Kiev regime, parts of the USA itself are like Africa, in every way. In fact, I once, in the 1980s, knew a young Nigerian woman who had travelled around Mississippi and who was shocked to see that there were blacks in Mississippi living worse than those in Nigeria! As she put it, “s****** in holes in the ground“!
Having said that, a glance at Google Earth street view shows other parts of the same city (Jackson, Mississippi) as new, even gleaming, and pleasant. That’s the American way…
