Looks hopeful…

Deutschland erwache!

journalist from The Telegraph, Allison Pearson, is under investigation by British police for an alleged “hate crime” due to a year-old social media post. The details surrounding the post are vague—Pearson has not been informed of the content or the identity of the person who made the accusation. This has drawn concerns about free speech and police overreach, with critics describing the situation as “Kafkaesque”stigation has sparked a, particularly regarding the lack of transparency in the process.

What else is new? See:

I do not recall the “conservative” or other “free speech” supposed activists speaking up for me. Not Allison Pearson, not Toby Young or his “Free Speech Union”, not Matt Goodwin, not any of the Breitbart, “Prison Planet”, “Sargon of Akkad” lot, not Katie Hopkins— none of them. “Human rights” barristers? No. Not one. Not even, as far as I recall, Nick Griffin or other nationalist-type activists online. Not one.

Of course, the reason is clear. “The usual suspects”, aka (((“them”))) and their evil, malign influence over politics, the legal system, and the mainstream media, and even the “alt-Right” social media types (who fear losing their Twitter/X accounts and so much of their influence and/or income).

Ah. Yet I do not recall the Daily Telegraph speaking up for me; not when I was wrongfully and actually unlawfully disbarred in 2016, nor when the Jewish lobby (sub nom “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, actually a tiny though well-funded group) procured, via political interference, a prosecution of me using the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2002, s.127. As to the former, see the articles posted above. As to my 2016 disbarment, see below:

Exactly. I support Allison Pearson’s free speech, but she and her type, msm scribblers etc, mouthpieces of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, do not support mine. I therefore claim the moral high ground.

I would not have said this even 10 years ago, but the fact is that most of the police in the UK are now idiots, easily bamboozled by the Jewish lobby in particular. Also brainwashed by “diversity” and “inclusion” bs, imbibed during mandated “courses”.

In Allison Pearson’s case, she is (as one would expect from a UK msm scribbler) pro-Jewish lobby, so her “crime” or “non-crime hate offence” seems to have been based on the “diversity” nonsense.

Can one do better than recall the words of Voltaire over two centuries ago, and surely unnecessary for me to quote to my erudite readership…

Obvious East European Gypsy types, but say that to the police and you, not they, will probably be threatened with arrest by the poundshop Stasi

The Jewish/Israel lobby is behind most of the attack on free speech in the UK, the same lobby that Allison Pearson seems to support. Poetic justice? Either you have freedom of expression or you do not.

Oh, so Julia Hartley-Brewer is now all for free speech, as is her employer, the “no-one watches” Talk TV owned by the ancient cuckold Rupert Murdoch.

I have never seen anything from Julia Loudmouth supporting my free speech rights over the past decade.

As for Talk TV, when I was convicted in 2023, and sentenced in March 2024, for having published the truth, Talk TV’s Twitter/X account simply regurgitated the bs fed to its “journalists” by the Jewish lobby and suborned Clown Prosecution Service.

Talk TV managed to get basic facts wrong, too; they even said, on their Twitter account and website, that I had been “jailed“!

Another scandal emerging on the impact of uncontrolled mass immigration on our way of life… From my questioning of the Ministry of Justice – slowly, we are getting real answers. Between April 2018 and March 2022, there were 38,868 reoffences from adult foreign nationals. Within that, there were 11,890 reoffenders. Why are these criminals not immediately deported? If our weak establishment had the guts to do what is needed to be done and deport these miscreants, then almost 40,000 crimes would have been prevented. Pathetic and spineless politicians have failed this country. Foreign criminals should be deported. No excuses.

Dog-free areas? How about creating **g-free areas?

A TikTok user who continually posted antisemitic content to her thousands of followers has today been sentenced.

Fiona Ryan, 40, regularly shared her antisemitic views to both TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter), which includes comparing Israeli citizens to Nazis and made jokes about the Holocaust.

  • Ryan was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months, and eight weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months respectively, to run concurrently.
  • Ryan was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154, costs of £650 and a requirement to attend up to 20-day rehabilitation.”

So the “fat lady” sang (again) (at Wessex CPS HQ).

What an incredible waste of public resources. Will Allison Pearson or Julia Hartley-Loudmouth have anything to say about the latest assault on freedom of expression? I doubt it.

Diary Blog, 13 November 2024, including a few thoughts about proportional representation, and about Starmer-Labour’s lack of real popular mandate

Morning music

Labour mandate (lack of)

As I blogged previously, in relation to both the USA election and Labour’s present situation in the UK.

The difference lies in the fact that the people of the UK had 14 years of inept “Conservative” misgovernment 2010-2024, and the voters wanted the Cons out, at almost any price.

Having said that, and as previously noted several times on the blog, out of every 20 eligible voters in the UK at GE 2024, and in rough figures, about 8 were so disenchanted with the whole political process, with society, and with the political choices available, that they voted with their feet (did not vote at all).

Of the remaining 12 out of 20, again in very rough figures, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

For me, the most significant figures would be the 8 out of 20 who did not vote, and the 2 that voted Reform UK.

Obviously, Labour, Starmer-Labour, has little real popular mandate, particularly in view of the fact that Labour’s “4 out of 20” or “4 out of 12” would have included those who, faced with a Lab-Con fight in many constituencies, voted Lab to do down the Cons; the same, in reverse, may also be true, though to a lesser extent; those who voted Con to prevent Lab from winning. Negative voting.

There is at present, or as yet, no sign of a real social-national party emerging in the UK.

I think that Matt Goodwin may be right, i.e. that Reform UK will emerge as the real opposition to Labour in the public mind.

Reform UK now has 5 MPs, though all are rather underwhelming. Reform should of course (were the electoral system not both illogical and unfair) have had about 93 MPs, not the mere 5 awarded to them under FPTP.

It is ridiculous that a party, Reform UK, can get 14.29% of the popular vote and end up with 5 MPs, and that another party, the LibDems, can be voted for by only 12.22%, yet end up with 72 MPs! That does offend the still quite strong sense of fairness and fair play in this country.

Come to that, Labour itself captured only 33.7% of the popular vote, not greatly more than double the vote of Reform UK, yet now has 411 MPs.

A pure proportional-voting system would have given Labour 219 MPs, the Conservative Party 154, Reform UK 93, LibDems 79, and Green Party 42.

In other words, under pure proportional voting, on GE 2024 vote figures, the UK would still be under a Labour Party government, but it would be a minority one.

In practice, 320 MPs give a UK government a Commons majority. Under the proportional-voting scenario, and in order to get over the line, Labour would have been required to compact with either the Conservative Party, or with Reform UK, or with both the LibDems and Greens. I suppose that that last choice would have been the most likely— Labour with LibDem and Green support.

Having said that, were there a fairer and more proportional voting system in the UK, voters would be able to cast their votes knowing that, unless they were to vote Monster Raving Loony Party or the like, their votes would almost certainly result in at least one MP of their preference getting elected. On GE 2024 figures, even George Galloway’s party, Workers’ Party, would have had 4 or 5 MPs in the Commons (0.73% of the popular vote, 210,194 actual votes).

There is little doubt in my mind that, were the UK voting system fairer, most UK voters would not be voting for the System or “legacy” parties. Not only would Reform UK surge forward, but a real social national party might be able to capture both the imagination and the votes of the British people. That, of course, is why System politicians want to retain the present voting set-up.

As said on previous similar occasions, a one-sided and rose-tinted view, but still largely correct, taken in the round.

That is about Simon Myerson, Leeds-based barrister and one of the “CAA” and “UKLFI” Jew-Zionist crowd, who was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) several months ago as a consequence of his extremely unpleasant and persistent social media trolling.

According to Myerson, the terrible slaughter visited upon the people of Gaza is, “legally”, not “genocide”, presumably because not all Gazans have been killed or wounded (“only” 150,000+, i.e. about a tenth of the population), and because the Israelis at least claim not to intend eliminating all Gazans or other Palestinian Arabs from Israel/Palestine.

Well, could not a similar claim, mutatis mutandis, be made by Germany about the Europe-resident Jews of the early 1940s?

Not my area of law (when I had “areas of law”). In any case, my own view of the Gaza slaughter is not based on some “dancing on a pin” legal sophistry. I say, just look at what the Israelis have been doing, and what they continue to do. Whether it is called “genocide” or not is irrelevant, really.

I have noticed that some of the non-Jews (who are pro-Jew-Zionist or, maybe better said, pro-Israel), and some of those who are part-Jew (what the Reich termed Mischlingen) but Zionist, are actually more fanatical than many of those who are fully-Jewish. Strange. That phenomenon has been covered on the blog, on this very popular page: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.

Race is the root-stock, culture is the flower”, as they say…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Akehurst.

The truth would be explosive, politically.

You can but admire Simon Myerson’s sanctimoniousness? He’s had a pop at Alistair Campbell for not admitting mistakes and blaming someone else. Meanwhile, when the judge in my case said Myerson was wrong to call me the scum of the earth and accuse me of contributing to someone’s death, Myerson accused the judge of antisemitism and blamed me for not seeing the judge’s misconduct. Myerson has some front?

There’s no question (mark) about it…

Simon Myerson is one of the weasels connected with the Israel-lobby organizations “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”]. He has been plotting behind the scenes for years. The “CAA” and “UKLFI” have been conspiring to have me arrested, charged, prosecuted, disbarred, removed from social media etc for at least a decade. So far not arrested, but certainly disbarred in 2016 (albeit wrongfully and unlawfully), expelled from Twitter in 2018, and charged/prosecuted/convicted/sentenced (see below).

As for Myerson, he was, fairly briefly, a Recorder (p/t judge) before being sacked (earlier in 2024) by reason of his vituperative tweets and other activities.

In the case of Wilson v. Newbon (deceased), Mendelsohn, and Cantor, which has been featured on the blog previously, Myerson’s evidence was, to be “diplomatic” about it, “not given any weight” by the learned trial judge. The same was true of the other Jews who gave “evidence” in that trial: Adam Cailler (newspaper scribbler), Joanne Bell (occupation, if any, unknown to me, but prolific on Twitter as “@jobellerina”); David Hirsh or Hirsch (minor academic specializing in “antisemitism”…); Nathan Comiskey (occupation, if any, unknown to me, but an active Jew-Zionist Twitter/X troll). There were a couple of other minor witnesses, their sworn testimony also discounted by the trial judge.

What the trial judge said in his transcribed judgment: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/KB/2024/821.html.

Since then, the surviving defendants (Newbon killed himself) have been ordered to pay the costs of Wilson but (as far as I know) have not fully complied. As for Lewis, he should have been struck off the solicitors’ roll years ago.

Regular readers of the blog will know that the egregious Lewis has featured several times on these pages over the years:

It is clear that there is an occult (in either sense) aspect to the mad wish of Starmer and Macron (both in the pocket of the Israel lobby) to have war with Russia. It cannot be in the interest of Western Europe (any more than of Central and Eastern Europe) to become a smoking and irradiated ruin.

Macron and Starmer are marching to the beat of another drum, that of the secretive NWO/ZOG cabals.

Spare a thought for Tim Walz and his wife (I already have— that is why I am laughing!…hahaha!)

Hard to argue with that, but still a totally one-sided tweet. What about the proven and perverse brutality in Israeli prisons? That’s before we even start to consider the torture (often worse, and also often perverse) inflicted by Israel-contaminated America (and its allies) in the fairly recent past in Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Guantanamo, and elsewhere, and which continues in some places.

Again, not a tweeter I would normally repost, but truth is truth…

Note how that supporter of the Democratic Party puts down the poorer (poorer white?) people in his country. That party has lost its traditional anchoring in the American “working class”, and is now foundering or floundering in a morass of identity politics, fake history, and soundbite nonsense. You only have to observe or listen to Kamala Harris, Tim Walz etc when on the campaign trail.

See also: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14061285/Harris-campaign-inside-disaster.html

The same sort of fate has overtaken both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party in the UK. Looking at misnamed “Labour”, it has little or no interest now in supporting the poorer part of the population, once its mainstay.

Can you imagine the old, pre-Blair, Labour Party effectively robbing pensioners of Winter Fuel Allowance, or similar, in order to throw that money and more to the Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Kiev, the bosses of which (including Zelensky) have each ripped off hundreds of millions of US dollars? I think not.

Would the old Labour Party be sheltering, feeding, and giving pocket money to migrant-invaders (in the hundreds of thousands), while —outside the repurposed business hotels housing the invaders, British ex-soldiers and others sleep in the streets? I think not.

Then there is the “anti-racism” nonsense, the “trans” nonsense etc, and looming over it all, the unquestioning support given by Starmer and all his hopeless Cabinet to Israel and the world (inc. UK) Jewish-Zionist lobby. After all, those political drones and corrupt freeloaders all belong to Labour Friends of Israel.

As for the “Conservatives”, no better. Both System parties are more or less a “uniparty” now. There are differences, yes, but few where it matters to the majority of the population.

The American voters, most of them, have clutched at the Trump straws; in the UK the equivalent, so far, would be Reform UK (though that is really just a System party in embryo, with mostly similar policies to the existing ones).

As British society gradually slides to dystopia, it can still happen that a small minority of social-national people may find a way to take power and rule this country properly. That minority need only be a few percent of the entire population, actively supported by another 10%, and mildly supported by another 20%.

Amazing rapport.

Press-gangs continue to force unwilling Ukrainians to fight, or at least be present, on the crumbling front-lines.

Such forced “recruits” are unlikely to be useful at the front, and quite likely to desert, despite the threat of a firing squad. The fact is that everyone except the Western mass media understands that the Kiev regime’s days are numbered; even the Western msm is slowly waking up to it.

Equatorial Guinea

Amusing. Something similar once happened on a Caribbean island where I lived, though it all blew up a couple of months before I arrived; I was told about it by a colleague.

Apparently, the defaulter was a pilot, a native of another island. He flew for a regional airline. He crashed his plane on one island or another (I do not recall what I was told, exactly; I think maybe St. Lucia) and he was killed, along with about 30 passengers and crew. Cannabis and cocaine were said to have been found in his body.

After his death, his wife was sorting through his belongings (not where she lived) and found the video tapes (this was about 25 or 26 years ago).

It turned out that the deceased pilot had, er, had literally dozens of prominent women on the island where I later lived. His wife made sure that copies of the tape were sent to several people. Soon, everyone had seen or heard of those tapes.

As my colleague later told me, these were women one met on a daily basis, such as the tall, sunglasses-wearing, woman police sergeant who conducted my driving test (I did not usually drive myself around until I arrived on that island and had no choice).

Other women involved were almost all of those who worked at the small airport on the island (as immigration officials, canteen staff, cleaners etc), the local schoolteachers, wives of the officiants at several of the (many) local churches etc. Apparently, bananas (literal bananas) featured in some of the tapes.

It all caused an enormous upheaval on an island where people tended to know everyone.

Reverting to Equatorial Guinea, I have never been there, and have only met a couple of people who have. Having said that, when I was a mere 18 years of age, in 1975, I had the idea of invading the island. A couple of boys my own age were my co-planners in that mad idea, which of course never went anywhere.

I had a large pilot’s map of the island (bought from Stanford’s in Covent Garden) and the nearby/not nearby bit of Africa where the larger part of the country (the former Spanish colony of Spanish Guinea, independent since 1968) was located. The island of Fernando Po (now, Bioko) was where the capital, Santa Isabel (now, Malabo) was. The island is about 3x the size of the Isle of Wight, and the whole country is slightly larger than Wales.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_Guinea.

I twice met the (now long-deceased) Conservative MP, Harold Soref, in connection with my doomed plan, once at the Carlton Club and once at the original St. James’ Club in Piccadilly. He was rather dismissive (perhaps unsurprisingly). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Soref. Maybe he was just keeping an eye open for SIS/MI6.

At that time, oil had not been discovered in Equatorial Guinea (that happened only in 1995), and few people had even heard of the place. I was unaware at the time that novelist Frederick Forsyth had already published, in 1974, the novel The Dogs of War, all about an invasion of Equatorial Guinea (disguised in the book as the republic of Zangaro).

Truth/fiction etc…

A few points to note: firstly, that the Reading Chronicle does not identify the defendant as a Roma Gypsy (other than by publishing a photo). The newspaper does not even take the usual msm-weasel approach of calling her “Romanian”, which is so often seen but rarely strictly correct (the Roma gypsies are, ethnically, not Romanians, as such, even when they hold Romanian passports and/or live in Romania).

Secondly, the woman in question is obviously a persistent nuisance, yet is sentenced to only 8 months (for a total of 9 offences), meaning that she will do 40% of c.32 weeks, about 12 weeks.

Thirdly, why is she even (allowed) here? Get rid of her, and all the others like her, and stop similar trash from entering the country.

I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”

That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.

The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).

The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.

Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.

Illiterate travel

I have just read this, https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/sarajevo-guide-balkans-bosnia-and-herzegovina-b1176081.html, a travel piece in what I still call the Evening Standard, and written by well-known columnist Suzanne Moore. Not hugely interesting anyway, but then absurdly badly-written. An essay by a 10-year-old, at best. Or is the sub-editing to blame? Maybe someone pushed a few of the wrong buttons. Extraordinary. Read it and see.

I have read other pieces by Suzanne Moore which were written properly, so maybe it was the fault of the Standard.

As far as assisted dying is concerned, I see it as a generally well-meaning attempt to be kind, which however, put into policy and law, is the start of a slide to, eventually, somewhere down the line, killing people for convenience or money.

The “fake history” of the 1970s

That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…

I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).

The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.

Where to start?

First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.

In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.

One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.

Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.

In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.

In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.

The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.

Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).

I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”

I must do a blog post sometime about it.

There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.

In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.

In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.

Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.

Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.

What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.

As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.

If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

Four corrupt and (((owned))) idiots-on-sticks. Useless.

The individual shouting is one of “the usual suspects” (((them))). Odds-on. (and despite the facemask muzzle).

I strongly support that. I was quite shocked to hear, in 1989, in Warsaw, and from the lips of a Polish girl I knew slightly, that my old haunt, Raoul’s (cafe) in Little Venice (London), where she had worked (she used to serve me my coffees) would take a high percentage of the tips given to the wait staff. That money would, so I was told, go to the woman who owned the cafe. Disgraceful.

Incidentally, the manager of the cafe at that time was a very pleasant young-ish Lebanese, who referred to the Jews who were a fairly large proportion of the clientele as “the Chosen“. Sardonic.

Apropos of nothing much, that Lebanese seemed to regard me as omniscient when it came to knowing who —using the cafe— was who. By way of example, I remember him asking once, in the 1990s, who was the black man sitting with a rather spectacularly-dressed black —I think African— woman. The manager asked me to go into the cafe —I was seated outside— and pretend to order something so that I could take a look.

I was able to identify the black man as Paul Boateng [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Boateng#Member_of_Parliament]. I had seen Boateng previously, not only on TV but also in person, when he was at Harrow Crown Court as Counsel in 1992 or 1993. It may be that he lived somewhere in the Maida Vale area; I do not know.

The brainwashing fear propaganda has deeply embedded itself in the mass psyche. Only a quarter of the population are awake to the realities, even now, years later.

In any case, the question is based on the false assumption that more inhabitants means greater “growth”. A house of cards. Fake.

Pretty damning. I myself would be firmly of the “they had none” persuasion.

Reform UK is still not the choice of most people or even a plurality. In my view, the people want, but subconsciously, social nationalism, but that has not come to expression either in the mass psyche or in objective reality— the movement and/or party does not exist. Not yet, anyway.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/03/gp-injected-mothers-partner-flesh-eating-chemical-inheritance-kwan-patrick-ohara-newcastle

A GP worried about his inheritance disguised himself as a nurse and injected deadly poison into his victim, who thought he was getting a home-visit Covid booster, a court has heard.

Thomas Kwan was not injecting Covid vaccine into Patrick O’Hara, prosecutors allege, but a poison that gave O’Hara a rare and life-threatening flesh-eating disease.

“Sometimes, occasionally perhaps, the truth really is stranger than fiction,” said Peter Makepeace KC as he opened the prosecution case against Kwan at Newcastle crown court on Thursday.

Kwan, 53, is accused of attempting to murder O’Hara, his mother’s long-term partner and a “potential impediment” to him inheriting her estate.

The court heard Kwan devised an intricate plan to kill 71-year-old O’Hara, who lived in Newcastle with Kwan’s mother, by disguising himself as a community nurse and injecting him with poison.

Makepeace said the plan involved Kwan forging NHS documentation, disguising himself, using false number plates, and booking in to a hotel using a false name.

Police recovered a photograph from Kwan’s computer of him in disguise with a wig, beard and moustache.

“It was an audacious plan,” Makepeace told the jury. “It was a plan to murder a man in plain sight, to murder a man right in front of his own mother’s eyes, that man’s life partner.

[Guardian]

Looks like a case so unusual that it may go down in criminal history, and be found in “true crime” anthologies, in television series etc.

The Prosecution Counsel in the case is someone with whom I was once acquainted, we both being part of a group of about 7 or 8 Bar students grouped together for the “Practical Exercises” which were then (1987-88) part of the Bar Finals course at the Inns of Court School of Law in London. All our names began with “M”. After that time, I only encountered Makepeace a few times: once or twice in a robing room (where barristers get changed for court) at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, I appearing at the High Court, he in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division); and once at the christening of a baby, child of two others of the same Bar School group. He was then based at York.

Early 1990s, around 1994. Long ago.

I took “the road less travelled” after that…

Pine martens

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/01/pine-martens-return-to-dartmoor-after-150-year-absence

Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.

Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.

Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.

The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.

“We haven’t had pine martens here for 150 years, and to see them moving out into this landscape to explore it and find their way is really exciting,” said Ed Parr Ferris, conservation manager at Devon Wildlife Trust, which is leading a partnership of seven conservation organisations returning the marten to south-west England.

The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.

Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.

Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.

Iranian attack on Israel

Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.

I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.

Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.

Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.

All one can do is to keep looking out for news.

Having said that, the other three candidates are also bad jokes: a Nigerian woman married to a banker of uncertain provenance; a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”; a dishonest and corrupt moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. All three vocally pro-Israel.

At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.

For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.

At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.

None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

An indictment, not only of Liz Truss herself, an idiot-on-a-stick who only became an MP in the first place on her back, but also of the “Conservative” Party and the whole political system of this country, that allows idiots to attain to the highest office: David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, the little Indian money-juggler (Sunak), and now the latest Israel-lobby puppet, Starmer.

Look at the candidates left in the contest to become “Conservative” Party leader: all Israel-lobby/Jewish lobby puppets. One Nigerian woman (Kemi Badenoch), one low-IQ half-African (James Cleverly), one part-Jew former chocolate soldier (Tugendhat), and one oddly-promoted and completely corrupt money-grubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer (Jenrick).

Even the mainly ignorant and/or naive public does not want them.

The idea seems to be that, as fake “Labour” messes up, the “Conservatives” will return to public favour. Don’t count on it. At GE 2024, 8 out of 20 eligible voters refused to vote at all. Also, 2 out of 20 voted for underwhelming Reform UK, despite its flaws and despite the fact that the FPTP voting system makes it hard for any non-established party to get anywhere.

In the circumstances, Reform UK did well to get 5 MPs (yet the LibDems got 72 MPs despite getting far fewer actual votes than Reform UK).

Not “stuck“. They could just leave, and return to France or elsewhere. Suggestion (only semi-serious)— parachute them over France (or send over the Channel by MTB) with a golden farewell of, say, 1,000 Euros in their pockets. Better than most of them deserve, but #MoralHighGround.

You can see why Starmer and his cabal became hysterical when the recent protests occurred (not “riots“…pushing a few wheelie bins over, or setting fire to them, is hardly a “riot”…). Starmer is frightened not of what happened, but what might happen over the next 4-5 years. He wanted to frighten potential future protesters now.

The Times reports, in a briefing from Home Sec Yvette Cooper, 3 disturbing facts; 1) There are now 225,000 migrants waiting to be granted asylum. That’s the whole Doncaster and Chelmsford combined. 2) Starmer’s pre-election promise to have all migrants out of hotels in 12 months is bollocks. Three years away at least. 3) Another 25,000 migrants have arrived by boat this year, 10,000 since Labour came in. She could have added 4) We don’t care as we view every migrant 80% more likely to vote Labour than any other party. And I could add 5) It’s this attitude which means you are a one term government.”

Naturally, we must oppose the migration invasion, not only the “small boats” invasion but also the —superficially— “legal-migrant” invasion, and also the third kind of “invasion”, births to non-Europeans within the UK.

Paradoxically, though, with every migrant-invader that arrives on our shores, the possibility of a social-civil war down the line becomes more plausible, as does the case for real social nationalism.

In the Netherlands, only British, French, German, Scandinavian, North American, Australasian, Southern African (whites), Argentinians, Japanese, Singaporese, (maybe) Italians and (maybe) Indians contribute anything. The rest are a millstone round the neck of the Dutch people.

I have seen, via family friends and personal visits over the past 50 years, how the Netherlands has declined, both economically and socially. Shocking.

The UK has gone much the same way, but the Netherlands was such a prosperous and peaceful little country, when I first saw it nearly 50 years ago, that the contrast is greater, arguably.

I would not mind most of the first part of that; the problem lies with the second part.

Well, I never “supported” or “admired” Israel anyway, of course, though I have always recognized that it has some features which compare well to the surrounding Arab/Muslim states. However, its behaviour has gone from bad to worse, and the (Israeli) Jews are now totally out of control.

Even then, much of what the speaker was shown (eg the film mentioned) was not from Auschwitz in the first place, but from elsewhere, and post-1945.

Goodnight Vienna Tel Aviv (maybe).

Were I an Iranian strategist, I should probably concentrate my missiles on, firstly, the Israeli nuclear weapons facility at Dimona [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimon_Peres_Negev_Nuclear_Research_Center], secondly at any known nuclear weapons storage facilities, thirdly at known IDF air bases and the civilian international airport, and only then at concentrations of population, and even then mostly on Tel Aviv itself.

Schwerpunkt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg#Schwerpunkt.

Possible sleeper agents.

Apart from anything else, this Iranian attack will collapse a good deal of the Israeli economy, especially if the main international airport is put out of action.

I have no idea what proportion of Israel’s economy relies on tourism, but I imagine that it is fairly high. Who will be visiting now?

As to exports, I suppose it will depend on what ports, airports, and transport infrastructure is hit, and what damage, if any, is done.
