Tell me about it…

….and the above is by no means the whole story…

…and not one of the much-publicized champions of free speech —Matt Goodwin, Toby Young, the “Free Speech Union”, Allison Pearson (all pro-Jew, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, by the way; so there’s a clue…) said one word in defence of my free speech rights.

As can seen from the above accounts, those seeking to “put the manacles” on me were/are all Jew-Zionist fanatics, all connected with either the dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal, or “UK Lawyers for Israel” (UKLFI), the memberships and/or support cadres of which overlap to some degree.

The voters are willing to take any option that seems to have a chance. The System parties have all failed. If only there were a proper social-national party able to take on the challenge. The “Parliamentary road” is not the way forward, as such, but may have a part to play. All roads lead to Rome.

The truth is that, since the 1970s, paid work has become far more stressful in the UK. The “long hours culture”, “present-ism”, no proper lunch hours, the vulgar trend of people eating at their desks, the perceived “need” to be on-call in the evenings or at weekends etc. All for other peoples’ profits and self-aggrandisement.

Still, I would not expect Kate Ferguson, the Political Editor (yes, they really do have one) of the Sun on Sunday, to want to acknowledge any of that.

Starmer is evil, as are all the members of his Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet.

[“No, wait! I voted Labour!“]

Behind the System parties, there is the System itself. One party or group, at least at the highest levels.

“Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer must know that but, like Rachel Reeves, does not care.

She’s an idiot. Am I the only person in the country not at all surprised, though?

After cats, donkeys are my favourite animal.

I should not like to be in his boots.

Does Starmer want the UK to become an irradiated wasteland?

Having said that, if it were only one massive warhead, landing on Central London, the centre of most of the socio-political degeneracy and corruption (and “the lobby”, i.e. “them”), it might at least have a silver lining…

It might even give the British people the chance to have a proper social-national government, and thus a new society, once the main enemies are eliminated.

Will look forward to reading that, and probably reposting it on the blog.

Jesus H. Christ! That tweeter “@frankflynn20016” must be a complete idiot. He thinks that, if millions of Europeans cease to exist, and are then replaced by the same or a greater number of black Africans, Europe will be “saved”, or even that it will be better than it now is! What can you say to a view as totally asinine as that? Totally loonie.

Ah…seems that the photo below is that tweeter who believes that black Africans should populate or “repopulate” Europe. A non-European who seems to be a —probably temporary, probably American— resident of Argentina.

Wall. Squad. End.

Can you believe that that idiot very nearly became the President of the United States? ? Incredible.

She was elected to Parliament 7 years before him. She was (inexplicably) a Cabinet Minister now (inexplicably) LOTO. This crap needs to stop – not least because it looks so weak and the greybeards said she’s Boudica. A disgrace a fringe party with 5 MPs is currently out-performing the out-going government party.”

As Fiona Syms (ex-wife of an ex-MP) knows well enough, Reform UK is not really a “fringe party”. It has only 5 MPs because the electoral system in this country is both grotesquely unfair and grotesquely illogical.

At GE 2024 (and in rough terms), out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, 4 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

If Reform UK is “a fringe party“, then so is not only the Green Party, but also the LibDems (who got 500,000 fewer votes than Reform UK), and indeed the Conservatives, who received only slightly more than 1.5x the votes cast for Reform UK. Even Labour only received just over 2.3x the Reform UK vote.

In actual numbers: Labour 9,708,716; Conservatives 6,828,925; Reform UK 4,117,620; LibDems 3,519,143; Green Party 1,841,888.

If the people keep being ignored, they will eventually turn on the System parties.

I agree with Fiona Syms, though, re. how hopeless Kemi Badenoch is. Well, there you go. If you put people in positions because they are “diversity hires”, they will almost invariably be a waste of space. Look at Lammy…

The Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder. They’re going down…

Frankly, I would not trust either side…

The press-gangs of the Kiev regime in operation again. What always strikes me about such video clips is that the uniformed regime operatives tend to be hesitant, almost shamefaced. Maybe because they know that they are sending their victims to their deaths?

Bombshell new poll on UK rape gangs. Keir Starmer is COMPLETELY out of touch with Britain:

-73% want national inquiry into rape gangs

-81% want foreign national groomers deported

-74% want dual national groomers deported

-79% say officials who failed shd be prosecuted

-of those, 66% say officials shd go to prison

-30% back death penalty for groomers + 47% back life sentences. Only 13% want current non-life sentences Friderichs/JL Partners, broke on @GBNEWS.”

“Hang ’em high!”

I am usually and in general against the death penalty, but I regard such a policy not as “judicial killing” but as an act of socio-political cleansing and also as a matter of white Northern Europeans taking back control.

Once the first few hundred have been dealt with, maybe in public, the Rubicon will have been crossed. There will be no going back. White Northern Europe will have declared war. Heimdall’s horn will have sounded.

Ukraine and Great Britain sign 100-year partnership agreement British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, during a visit to Kiev, also announced the transfer of a new air defense system to Ukraine, Reuters reports.

We have agreed that Britain will transfer at least $3.6 billion in military aid to us annually.

Today is a truly historic day, our relations are closer than ever ,” said Volodymyr Zelensky after signing the agreement.

Starmer said he would provide Ukraine with the necessary support “to put it in the strongest position to fight Russia in 2025.”

Starmer and his “elected” dictatorship have just stolen £2 billion a year from British pensioners, and are going, in effect, to send it to the Jewish dictator of “Ukraine”, in order to bolster his shambolic, brutal, and crumbling regime.

Starmer may be called Prime Minister of the UK, but is really just a New World Order and Zionist Occupation Government puppet.

Having said that, the “100-year Agreement” will probably last no longer than the “1,000-year Reich”…

Another puppet.

Suella Braverman has realized that even her fairly safe or formerly safe seat might go at the next election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fareham_and_Waterlooville_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

More pertinently, she realizes that, because the Conservative Party is on the way out, her chance of becoming Prime Minister, or indeed any kind of government minister, is vanishingly-small now.

Having said that, Suella Braverman is not particularly intelligent and, as far as I know, had a fairly mediocre Bar practice, so she might be better off trying to remain an MP— but for which party, Con or Reform?

If Suella Braverman defects to Reform and is their candidate next time at Fareham, she has a good chance of staying as MP. In 2024, she got a vote-share of 35% but Reform still did fairly well in 4th place (on 18%). She is known as having very similar views to Reform. She might well get 40% or more, maybe 50%, as a Reform UK candidate in that seat. As a Conservative Party candidate, her vote might decline to a level where Reform, or even the LibDems or Labour might succeed.

All the same, if she does defect, she would face three other serious candidates at the next election. Any one of them might win. I cannot see her standing down voluntarily from Parliament, though.

Unwanted nuisances in our society.

Maybe that kind of incursion is a possible way for Russian forces to deliver the coup de grace to the Kiev regime, a huge, swift devastating attack on the head of the serpent— Kiev itself. Had that been done in 2022, huge damage and misery could have been avoided.

That last tweet sums up my view too. Useless idiots.

Housing crisis

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/14/councils-keen-to-help-home-office-move-asylum-seekers-out-of-hotels

Councils across England and Wales have said they are keen to help accommodate asylum seekers as the government attempts to move as many as possible out of hotels, in part to try to ease community tensions.

The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England and Wales, said that while it had not been briefed about a possible shift away from the current model, councils would be keen to help if it happened.

“Councils have a proud history of supporting new arrivals across the current range of asylum and resettlement programmes,” said Louise Gittins, a councillor and the chair of the LGA.

[Guardian]

So there it is. If you cannot get a lease of a local authority council property, or indeed a fairly-priced private lease or rental, you know why— migration-invasion.

Look at the words of that Louise Gittins idiot, i.e. that the way to “ease community tensions” (meaning fool the English/British into believing that they are not being swamped) is to, in effect, prioritize invaders over British or, at very least, to allow them to have social housing on the same basis as those who live here, those whose ancestors lived here, and who pay —through the nose— into the system…

This country’s government, both central and local, is riddled with both idiots and traitors.

Thus spake, in effect, Sajid Javid, a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby Pakistani and apostate Muslim. Now politically binned, but there are plenty more where he came from, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sajid_Javid#Israel_and_Palestine.

The System parties and their MPs are all the same. In rough and ready language, traitors.

Honour and honours

Take a look at this once-quite-famous British actor, who performed courageous feats in the jungles of South Asia in the Second World War, was also a well-known actor, and an early campaigner for animals and against cruel zoos etc, yet in his whole life was awarded only an MBE, and ask whether the current crop of fake “peers”, “knights” and others have not been over-rewarded…

Ukraine has no future as an independent state, at least not on the basis of its present borders. If it withdraws to west of the Dnieper, and is centred on Lvov, maybe.

Electoral Calculus has the result of that (with Greens at a notional 8%) as: Labour 230 seats, Cons 197, Reform 93, LibDem 70, Greens 6.

Hung Parliament. Labour, even with LibDem and Green support, could only form a minority government (even in full coalition, only 306 seats, about 16 short of a majority).

Early days, though. If Reform UK could get to 26% (and all other unchanged), the result would be: Lab 190, Reform UK 172 (official Opposition), Cons 160, LibDems 69, Greens 6. In that scenario, Labour, 136 short of a majority, could only govern on the say-so of either Reform UK or the Conservative Party. In fact, in such a scenario, a Reform UK-Conservative Party coalition or agreement would be far more likely, producing a joint majority of about 10 seats.

Sooner or later, real social nationalism must break through. When people have suffered even more.

They call it “democracy”…

Emma Reynolds, another Labour Friends of Israel puppet. Moneygrubber, too.

Useful advice.

When I first drove in England, aged about 43, I had never had to parallel park for a driving test, and drove as long as I could on my foreign licence.

In the end, because the DVLA would not allow me to simply swap my licence for a UK one, I had to accept that I would have to get a UK licence and also take the UK driving test, which however I passed without difficulty, and perhaps unsurprisingly, having driven extensively both in the UK and overseas (including UK to Turkey and back, a trip more difficult in 2001 than it would be now, with the new motorways that now exist, extended Schengen Zone etc).

The one difficult aspect was the parallel parking, but I employed a driving instructor for 2 brief afternoon sessions, and he taught me how to parallel park to a higher standard than I already knew.

A couple of points.

I was never a sparkling wine drinker, but Sekt is as good as anything else except the best Champagne. Also, on a partly-personal point, not many people know that, when Ambassador in London, Ribbentrop, apart from his residence in the German Embassy (then at Carlton House Terrace near The Mall), kept a private house in Barnes (the area the other side of Hammersmith Bridge; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes,_London).

The modestly spacious detached house, with gardens, and situated in a side-road, was later owned by a lady with whom I was slightly acquainted (the friend of a friend). I visited it once, perhaps twice. She later sold it (mid/late 1980s) to a Jew, who knocked it down and built a small block of two or three-storey flats on the site.

Incidentally, I was just looking at Wikipedia; nothing at all in it about Ribbentrop’s residence in Barnes. “Unknown history”, it seems, though of course MI5’s files would have the details, as far as the 1930s are concerned.

Mandelson

As readers will be aware, the Jew Mandelson has been appointed Ambassador to the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Mandelson.

Interesting.

I think that that may be part of it. Also, the sinister conspirators trying to implement the Coudenhove-Kalergi agenda have made a determined effort to flood the British countryside with non-whites, as witness the National Trust and similar organizations.

The British countryside is one of the few redoubts of white British people, surrounded by urban and suburban non-white swamps. Farmers in the UK are almost entirely a white British community. This makes them a target.

I myself have criticisms of farmers in some respects, but that does not mean that I want them “replaced” by migrant-invaders and/or corporations interested only in the bottom line.

…and the Bar, the BBC, academia, and almost everywhere else. The biggest sharks in that anti-free-speech pool are those of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, by the way.

In that case, people will start to take “measures” to remedy the situation and to deal with it.

Our fake form of “democracy” has pretty much had its day. I raised the question on the blog, years ago:

Wall. Kader. Ende.

Wall. Squad. End.

Gerry Adams

What is there to say? Instead of being [REDACTED] as he well deserves, he is quite likely going to get “compensation” out of British taxpayers’ money.

Can this country’s System parties do anything right?

Few today will be aware that, when Adams headed both Sinn Fein and the IRA in Belfast, he was getting social security payments from the equivalent of the present DWP. Petty, maybe, but it does show how “careful” the British governments of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s were in dealing with these people.

The Northern Ireland situation was handled, mainly, in the way the British state handled, for example, the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe situation. Gather as much intelligence as possible. Don’t be too harsh or extreme. Try to get the parties to come to agreement. Manage the situation.

That may sound all very reasonable, but it does not work when you are dealing with the likes of Mugabe or Adams. Fact. It leads to poor resulting conditions.

Northern Ireland stopped actually fighting 25 years or so ago mainly because the IRA had run out of steam, the civilian population wanted an end to it all, and the British Government was willing to throw huge amounts of money at the province in terms of public sector jobs, social welfare, social housing etc, and also willing to let the convicted fighters/terrorists/whatever out of prison. The Good Friday Agreement. “Peace” at a price.

The British Government was also willing to allow, in effect, the IRA into government. Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams etc.

Oh, well. Northern Ireland is a sideshow anyway, but it is irritating.

Reform UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14280613/Reform-UK-Nigel-Farage-Labour-government-new-poll.html

Reform UK is now only a single percentage point behind Labour – putting their leader Nigel Farage within touching distance of Number 10 at the next election.  

New polling data from YouGov, commissioned by Sky News, puts Reform on 24 per cent and Labour on 25 per cent – down a whopping 9 percentage points from their winning vote share at the 2024 UK election.  

With the Conservatives on 22 per cent, the UK electorate may be about to usher in a new epoch of three-way party politics.

The new research puts Labour on 26 per cent, Reform UK on 25 per cent, the Tories on 22 per cent, the Lib Dems on 14 per cent and the Greens on 8 per cent.

In general the assessment of Sir Keir’s first six months in office is damning, with only 10 per cent of voters judging that he has been successful and an overwhelming majortity (60 per cent) saying he has been unsuccessful.

Labour insiders are also worried at how the party is hemorrhaging voters to other parties across the political spectrum.  

The new data found that they have retained only 54 per cent of supporters from the general election – while 7 percent have defected to the Lib Dems, 6 per cent to the Green Party, 5 per cent to Reform UK and 4 per cent to the Tories.

Meanwhile almost a quarter of those who voted Labour in the polls (23 per cent) either did not say, weren’t sure or had decided not to vote at all. 

Labour also faces a problem with elderly voters in light of policies like the removal of the winter fuel allowance, with only 14 per cent of OAPs now saying they would cast their vote for Labour – down eight percentage points from the election.

[Daily Mail]

Naturally, Reform UK is not very close to me, ideologically. Pro Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and (relatively) anti-welfare state; pro-finance capitalism.

Still, Reform UK has its uses. To move the “Overton Window”, particularly on issues of immigration, migration-invasion, free speech etc. Above all, to break up the LibLabCon “three main parties” scam which has been in place during my lifetime.

It may well be that all party politics will crumble to dust by reason of some existential catastrophe in the world, such as nuclear war, but that is another matter, arguably.

According to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], the figures given, if replicated at a general election, might result in a House of Commons with Labour holding 287 seats, Conservative Party 128, Reform UK 107, LibDems 77, Green Party 4. That would indicate a Lab-LibDem coalition, or some lesser concordat, Labour being about 37 short of an overall majority on those figures.

The (continuing) “reduction of the Gaza ghetto”…

Either ship him back or just get rid of him (and the rest).

When I was about 21-y-o, I wanted to get rid of hundreds of unwanted books, mostly paperback novels (spy stories and crime thrillers etc). I gave them to the Royal Marsden because I was then living at Reigate Hill in Surrey, only about 8 or 9 miles away from the hospital’s site at Sutton (though the distance seems more because the two areas are so different). I dropped them off at the hospital reception. I hope they at least passed the time for some of the in-patients. I suppose that must have been 1977 or 1978.

It looks, though, as if the lady tweeter noted attends not the Sutton site of the hospital but rather its other and older location, in Kensington (which would make more sense, because she lives not far from my old shooting club, the Kensington Rifle and Pistol Club, now all but defunct and no longer —since the 1990s, if not earlier—in West Kensington). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marsden_Hospital.

My annual mammo is the best focus group of one you’ll get. Delightful radiographer tells me she’s never voted, they’re all as bad as each other and don’t listen to the NHS.

Furious about the social care plan delay not just as a healthcare worker but as the mother of a special needs adult who needs it. Her daughter volunteers in a food bank when she can, bless her.

3 disgraces in this story alone – underpaid NHS worker (my words not hers), crap & ludicrously expensive social care, food banks. I say I might have an offer you like and care passionately about fixing social care. And the rest. I also think doctors would run the NHS better, pen-pushers and deadbeat hospital CEOs, often from industry or politics, should be blocked off.

All right. Some good points, but was she saying all that when she was married to a Conservative MP and Whip (until a decade ago)? I do not know, but I doubt it. She was (and still is? I wonder…) a passionate supporter of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George (Gideon) Osborne, whose government of nasty nonsense, 2010-2015, imposed so-called “austerity” (for the poor) and spending cuts which permanently crippled this country in every way.

As for “food banks”, they scarcely existed until 2010. Only on a tiny scale, anyway. Another result of “Conservative” Party policies 2010-2015.

The Fiona Syms tweeter should think about why the Conservative Party presently stands at 22% in the opinion polls, 2 points lower than at GE 2024, despite the evident hopeless incompetence and unpleasantness of the “Labour” government of “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer and his little Labour Friends of Israel cabal.

People have not forgotten the 14 years of truly bad “Conservative” government 2010-2024, finishing off with the government of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak; and now the “Conservatives” are “led” by a political joke (again), a Nigerian woman who only came to the UK at age 16, albeit that she spent a day or two here after her birth (in London).

Having said that, it is clear that Labour (too) is finished. After a week or two of Starmer-Labour misgovernment, I blogged as much, at which time the msm were sycophantically applauding Starmer (some stupid woman scribbler in, I think, the Guardian, even said that she found herself attracted to Starmer sexually!— Well, Henry Kissinger did say that “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac“…).

What stands out there for me is how only among those 65+ years of age is voting Conservative anywhere near the level required to ground a Conservative Party government. 35%. Not very impressive anyway, but dropping to only 25% among those 50-64 y o, and to only 16% among those aged 25-49 before almost disappearing among those aged 18-24.

It might be argued that those aged below 65 y o might well change their views when they age further (just as it was said by Soviet anti-Christian propagandists in the pre-1989 period that “only old women now attend Russian Orthodox churches“, but that was countered by those who noted that there seemed always to be another generation of old women at church…).

Yes, those now aged below 65 may well be more inclined to vote Conservative when they reach 65+, but in my opinion the numbers will never be higher, or even as high, as they now are.

If the percentage of those 65+ voting Conservative is now 35% or so, by 2029 that might easily decline to 30%, and lower thereafter. The same slide might also be seen, and probably will be seen, lower down the age scale. If the present 18-24 y o generation only vote Conservative Party at around 5%, that will almost certainly increase, but maybe only slightly, over the years to come. To what extent is hard to pinpoint, but maybe by only about 5 points in each coming generation, so at age 65+ maybe to about 20%.

Admittedly speculative.

That is assuming that the present voting and political system will still be here in 2060, 2040, or even 2030. Or the present world as we know it…

An example of 2025 craziness

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14282311/Cambridge-law-student-sues-university-failed-PhD.html

A law student is suing Cambridge University for discrimination after he failed his PhD and delayed his career working as a barrister.

Jacob Meagher is seeking ‘substantial damages’ from the world famous institution, alleging he was the subject of disability discrimination and victimisation following the failure of his law PhD.

Mr Meagher also claimed that his oral ‘viva voce’ interview, where he was questioned about his thesis by two examiners, caused ‘significant damage’ to his health. 

He ended up failing the examination, meaning he missed out on a opportunity to take up a tenancy at a ‘particular set of chambers’ and therefore ‘suffered a substantial loss of anticipated earnings’.

Outlining the claim, the judge said: ‘Mr Meagher…is a student at the University of Cambridge…undertaking a PhD in law. 

‘[He] did not successfully pass his final viva voce examination of his doctoral thesis.

Court documents also stated that the University’s Disability Resource Centre had recommended that at the viva, examiners follow a set of guidelines, produced as part of a Student Support Document (SSD), to help him.

These included asking specific rather than general questions, using the active, rather than the passive, voice and allowing him pauses and breaks after questions…to allow him to ‘mentally retrieve the words or information that he needed in order to answer’.

[Daily Mail]

How on Earth does that litigant think he is going to survive at the Bar (unless he does no court work at all) if he cannot endure being verbally challenged, and needs time “to mentally retrieve the words or information that he [needs] in order to answer“?

You need a thick skin at the Bar. I should know. I was a practising barrister, in court almost daily, from 1993-1996 in London (often at the High Court, as well as in County Courts and both “the mags” and, less often, Crown Courts), and during 2002-2008 based in Exeter (though travelling widely across the UK and beyond).

Being put on the spot by a judge, especially a High Court judge (I was never at the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court), can be a chastening experience even if the judge is (as most High Court judges are) reasonably courteous.

Woe betide the barrister who is unprepared, or whose instructing solicitors have fallen down on their job. I usually managed to put up a good show, or at least a good front, but I have seen other barristers fall silent, unable to say a word, or flounder helplessly; even, in one case (in Camberwell Magistrates’ Court, before a particularly severe Stipendiary Magistrate —the people called District Judges now—) actually whimper and almost burst into tears (it was a man, too…).

At one time, a barrister who was disabled, even physically, was at a huge disadvantage in trying to get into any chambers. Now, it is arguable that things have gone to the other extreme.

When I was in provincial chambers in Exeter, from 2002-2008 , there was a girl Bar pupil from Northern Ireland. She seemed pleasant and was afterwards offered a tenancy (after which she became markedly less pleasant). The point, though, was that she had a bad speech impediment. In my opinion, the Northern Irish accent is hard enough to understand, let alone when the speaker has a speech impediment. She did get some criminal and family work, though; low-level stuff.

In the end, that Northern Irish person gave up the Bar entirely (I was told) and returned to her native Ulster. At least there they were, presumably, able to understand what she said.

Worth watching.

What a ridiculous monkeyhouse Westminster is! Look at thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves (“Rachel from Accounts”) etc, all making noise, exchanging remarks, and laughing like badly-behaved schoolchildren. Then there is stupid Liz Kendall, sitting there like a nodding dog, and about as credible.

The mainstream media milieu is a cesspit. I was just reading about some person whose name, though I had seen it somewhere, in the back of my mind, conveyed little to me. A few years younger than me (I am now 68), he has died, and even years ago was looking at least a decade or more older than me, looking at photos in the newspapers. In fact, make that 20+ years older.

Apparently, that person had, at one time, in the 1990s, been spending £4,000 a week on cocaine, and drinking 4-5 bottles of vodka every day!

You could double or treble that sum to get the same value in the money of 2025.

That tells me that such System-approved msm types are both hugely over-remunerated and totally decadent. Britain needs a thoroughgoing cultural purge even more than it needs a political purge. Hitler-level. Stalin-level. Biblical-level.

Well, there it is. Switzerland has officially lost its senses.

The rise of ‘woke‘ thought and digital currencies are among the warning signs that Western civilization could be about to collapse, said investor and expert Doug Casey.

Casey’s book ‘Crisis Investing’ topped the New York Times nonfiction chart, focusing on the looming crisis facing Western civilization.

In subsequent books and podcast interviews, the veteran speculator has focused on signs that he sees as warnings, based on his study of historical events such as the fall of Ancient Rome.

The rise of ‘woke‘ thought and digital currencies are among the warning signs that Western civilization could be about to collapse, said investor and expert Doug Casey.

He told DailyMail.com that there are now seven clear signs that he believes show that Western civilization is facing an end.

Worth looking at.

There is one factor which dominates in the UK, which is the fact that “nothing works properly any more“. I started noting it on the blog years ago, and noticed (after a couple of years) some msm outlets saying the same.

Part of the decline in services and standards is, of course, caused by the migration invasion, meaning both the strain put on all services and facilities by the extra numbers and the nature (i.e. poor quality) of those entering the UK.

Then there is the decline in real education (not meaningless “degree” diplomas handed out like confetti).

The repression on free speech is another major factor.

The box-ticking culture in administration as well, combined with the “Common Purpose” and allied cancers.

When Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP took power, they were initially voted for, in 1932, by 33% of the people, which grew to 44% in 1933, yet the NSDAP vote had been only 2.6% in 1928. Quite an upsurge in only 4-5 years.

The reasons given for the upsurge in support for the NSDAP have been examined by many. The Great Depression in the USA, which spread around the world, was of course key.

The Jewish influence too, but that, after all, had existed for a long time in Germany, and had been especially prevalent after the defeat of 1918. The NSDAP had spoken against it for over a decade without, at first, having gained much traction.

There were other factors as well, but I think that what clinched Hitler’s triumph was the perception that things generally, in all areas, were not working properly.

The same was obviously true in the Russian Empire in 1917, after at least two lost wars, and with the ruling cliques of the Empire mired in corruption and scandal. Russia as a state was not working for the people in any way whatsoever.

Reverting to the UK in 2024, not so dramatic, true, but there has been a slow-motion train crash going on for the past ~25 years. It becomes hard to ignore the fact that the UK, in many ways, is now ceasing to work properly.

Government must, above all else, function.

Deadhead MPs and ministers, repression on free speech, official policies seemingly designed not to work (mass immigration, migration invasion, energy, foreign policy, NHS, social security etc), and the fact that ordinary everyday life becomes a tangled mess by reason of the pointless hoops that have to be jumped through: you name it— NHS appointments, and medical care in general; parking a car; getting through to anyone who can help with any given problem, whether at commercial enterprises, in local government, central government, or wherever.

The UK’s voters are tiring of the existing mess, and may be inclined to clutch at the Reform UK straw, in the short-to-medium term, but later, after 2029, may support a truly radical social-national alternative, which may exist by then.

If not, then “le deluge“… It will then be a matter of taking to the lifeboats.

There emerges an uneasy feeling that our present world system is not going to be around for much longer, the way things are internationally.

Daria Platonova Dugina — A Theory of Europe: A View of the New Right.

In a world increasingly levelled by homogenisation, Daria Platonova Dugina retrieves the vibrancy of European culture by delving into the intellectual renaissance of the French New Right.

Exploring the pioneering work of figures like Alain de Benoist and Guillaume Faye, Dugina traces their groundbreaking and provocative reimagining of identity, tradition, and belonging, where the spirit of ideas transcends the conventional boundaries of Left and Right.

Through a “Gramscianism from the Right” approach, she analyses how the New Right’s critique of universalist ideologies and its visions of civilisational revival present a cultural counter-hegemony that values rootedness and organic community over the globalist paradigm.

In this unique collection of lectures, essays, and interviews, Dugina highlights the complex intersections of New Right thought with currents like National Bolshevism and Eurasianism, investigating the philosophical and geopolitical frontlines of the fracturing world order.

Dugina takes readers on a far-reaching journey beyond the standard ideological spectrum, inviting a deeper understanding of identity politics in the contemporary age.

Here, philosophy meets praxis, inspiring those searching for alternatives in today’s monotone world to revisit the foundations and peaks of Europe’s intellectual heritage.

Order it now: https://amazon.com/dp/1915755948 https://arktos.com/product/a-theory-of-europe/…

Daria ‘Platonova’ Dugina (1992–2022) was a Russian philosopher, political analyst, journalist, and artist. Dugina studied philosophy at Moscow State University and Bordeaux Montaigne University, specialising in Plato and Neoplatonism. The daughter of Alexander Dugin, she was an active member of the International Eurasian Movement and collaborated with the French New Right. Her life was tragically cut short by a car bomb on the night of 20 August 2022.

I rarely if ever repost anything by the above tweeter (the ex-wife of a former Conservative-Party MP), but (with the exception of “stable inheritance“) this has to be right. “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” is a joke, a bad joke, a very unpleasant Labour Friends of Israel joke.

That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress.

JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered.

Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress?

That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the worlds richest Zionist ‘philanthropists’ and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad.

Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover.

That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility.

That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program.

That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three ‘paramilitary’ groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years.

That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc?

We are told Israel is our ‘greatest ally’ so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 – see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US.

This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US. And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit. Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I’ve broken them down live on X before.

That’s just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars. And I didn’t even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that’s been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X.

And that’s not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing ‘antisemitic’ speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it’s perfectly legal to boycott American companies… just not Israeli ones.

Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.”

Disappearing England

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14262595/newbuild-homes-greenbelt-council-Lord-Rings-St-Albans.html

Fuming locals have raged at a council planning to build thousands of homes on green belt surrounding one of England’s oldest market towns.

St Albans Council sent its proposal to use land including 800 hectares of green belt to build 15,000 homes by 2041 to Labour’s Planning Inspectorate at the end of 2024.

Homeowners in the area slammed the ‘diabolical’ plan by developers who ‘don’t give a s***’ to destroy the countryside and said the extra homes would put local services under unbearable strain.”

[Daily Mail]

Very sad. Mainly caused by mass immigration. That, and profiteering by both farmers (selling land— look at the report; ONE FIELD sold for £38M!) and housebuilding companies.

As for housebuilders building tracts of housing and then refusing to adhere to agreements guaranteeing services (roads, parks, shops etc), if they do that, their precious “developments” should be blown up by the State, then rewilded; the companies should also be fined, very heavily. The directors should then be put to hard labour.

I used to spend occasional weekends at Sopwell House, which is walking distance from St. Albans. That was back in the early/mid 1990s, 30 years ago (incredible, to me).

Britain is slowly (?) becoming a multikulti slum where nothing works, and from where every English/white person wants to escape, either to the relatively few areas of the country unaffected by the spreading floods of ghastly ugly new housing —and immigration—, or overseas. Somewhere. Anywhere.

There are even TV shows called Escape to...

Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor

https://substack.com/home/post/p-154273243

As blogged previously, many times, I pity anyone who has Jewish fanatic Mark Lewis as his or her solicitor (and, yes, I do know that he has been on the winning side sometimes, though usually in open-and-shut cases).

Anyone interested in my views about Lewis (who was wont to tweet pathetic and men tally-disturbed insults about me, for years) can simply type his name into the search box on the blog.

Extract from James Wilson’s Substack blog:

Mark Lewis and Patron Law – Patron Law’s website states that Mr Lewis is the “UK’s foremost media, libel and privacy lawyer”. This is a bold claim. In an email to me dated 1 March 2023 Mr Lewis stated “I do not think that you will succeed [at trial] given that [the person who published the Facebook post originally] has indicated that she honestly held the opinion that you were a weirdo. … However, that is the point of litigation and you might be able to persuade the Court that [she] did not hold an honest opinion that you are a weirdo.

Mr Lewis’ statements make no sense at all and suggest a frightening lack of understanding about defamation law and the issues for trial. That Mr Lewis charges £600/hour for analysis such as this is mind-boggling. In reality: the opinion of the person who published the Facebook post that I was a weirdo, and whether I could persuade the court she did not hold that opinion, were irrelevant. What actually had to be proven – by the defendants – was that the defamatory statements in the screenshot were factually true, or their own honest and reasonable opinion. The defendants’ case here completely fell apart when the person who originally published the Facebook post gave evidence for them at trial. She was a truly awful witness whose evidence the judge found to be “wholly incredible” and “plainly untrue”.

There’s an old joke about Ringo Starr: “Ringo wasn’t the best drummer in the world… Let’s face it, he wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles”. Given what is above, the equivalent joke here is: “Mr Lewis is not the UK’s foremost libel lawyer… Let’s face it, he may have been only the seventh best libel lawyer in the Wilson v Mendelsohn case, behind four other libel lawyers and Wilson and Mendelsohn themselves, and they were amateurs.”

mafias are holding up construction work and kill for 30% of total cost of the projects,

cabinet ministers are implicated in crime,

As predicted on this blog.

Labour hated, “Conservatives” (under a silly and useless Nigerian woman carpetbagger) despised, LibDems a dustbin for uncertain votes, or a non-choice. Result— Reform UK, though underwhelming, as a straw at which to clutch, and at the same time a serious protest vote.

According to Electoral Calculus, that, at a General Election, would make Reform UK the official Opposition: Labour 269 Commons seats, Reform 149, Conservatives 101, LibDems 73, Greens 6. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

The most likely outcome there would of course be a Lab/LibDem coalition, or maybe a Lab minority govt. with LibDem support. If either of those, then there might be a LibDem demand for proportional representation, to replace the current ridiculous First-Past-The-Post voting system.

Incidentally, such a voting result would also mean that about 143 Labour MPs would be culled, and another 20 Con Party MPs would also lose their seats.

Also incidentally, if that result were to be changed in only one small aspect, Reform UK going up from 25% to 26% (with all other vote shares unchanged), the end result would be Lab 259, Reform 173, Con 87, LibDems 73, Green 6. That would be existentially disastrous for the Con Party

Looking hopeful…

Why is Britain going bankrupt and what might this mean? Let’s take a look.

First it is worth noting, Labour et al might calm the markets in the short-term but what markets are telling us is that there is a festering problem – even if this goes away in the coming weeks it will keep coming back.

There are short-term and long-term trends driving the bankruptcy; a few of the long-term trends are poor resource allocation in the public sector, aging population and low growth; short-term trends are basically COVID-19 spending and spending on energy price guarantees due to Ukraine war – also BoE’s enormous losses from QE aren’t helping.

Britain can always print money to finance its debt but the problem is that foreign debt sales keep sterling propped up which, in turn, keeps UK living standards propped up at an artificial level; if sterling were allowed fall to close the large trade deficit and Britons were forced to live within their means, living standards would be lower – probably significantly lower.

If/when the bankruptcy takes place there are basically two paths that it can take: either the government impose harsh austerity, likely by handing the reins to the OBR and the Treasury, or the country is put into receivership and the keys are handed to the IMF.

There is some talk that the IMF option is like what happened in 1976 – yes and no; in 1976 UK government debt was below 50% of GDP and while the country’s trade deficit was large it had only opened two years beforehand; today government debt is well over 100% of GDP and the trade deficit is not only enormous but has been enormous for 20 years (!).

Britain lives beyond its means by managing capital via the City of London; rather than producing goods to export the country tries to attract capital inflows sustain higher levels of consumption than the economy would naturally allow – but a serious crisis will change all this making the situation very different to 1976.

In 1976 the UK was really just trying to stabilise sterling amidst some troublesome worldwide inflationary pressures while today the country needs to be treated like the typical patient that the IMF gets its hands on.

Nor would such an austerity program even look like, say, Ireland after 2011 which was aimed at bringing down wage costs and making the country competitive again – this meant that the country went through a few years of pain and recession but then emerged with their living standards intact and started growing once more.

Rather any austerity program that is applied by Britain – whether by the IMF or by OBR-Treasury, or some combination of the three – would look more like what happened to Greece after 2011: a managed, permanent decline in living standards.

Is there a silver lining? There would be, if all the above led to a real social-national government and “a revaluation of all values“…

Diary Blog, 6 January 2025, with more comment about free speech and its enemies, and some information about “Lord” George Foulkes

Free speech, freedom of expression

At present, people are not only being prosecuted for “offences” of having allegedly published “unpleasant” comments but also for having published serious comment relating to important social and political (and historical) matters inconvenient to certain groups, especially the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should know. I myself have been victimized, for about 12 -13 years, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. What infuriates that lobby the most is that I refuse to be a victim. I continue to stand up for right, justice, and truth.

The articles below are presented in chronological order, from 2017 through to 2024.

The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.

In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).

Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.

The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).

Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).

I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.

I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.

Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.

Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.

We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).

Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.

Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).

Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.

Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).

Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.

Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.

Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.

The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.

So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.

Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…

Appalling miscarriages of justice

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66928735

Each year, thousands of people in England and Wales are accused of crimes for which they are later acquitted. While their names may be cleared, they are often left emotionally and financially devastated – as Brian Buckle, who was wrongfully convicted of sexually abusing a child, discovered first-hand.

Rebecca Whitehurst, 47, from Greater Manchester had to find tens of thousands of pounds to pay for her defence after a pupil at the school where she taught made claims that they had engaged in sexual activity and exchanged inappropriate messages.

“Financially, it’s been the best part of £50,000,” she says. Rebecca adds that after she was found not guilty, she was awarded costs – but at the legal aid rate, which is much lower than the expense of instructing a defence barrister privately.

[BBC]

Acquitted (in the first case noted above, only after 5+ years in prison, a successful appeal, and then a retrial), but left £50,000-£500,000 out of pocket.

All because Chris Grayling, a stupid arrogant man made a Cabinet minister by David Cameron-Levita, made stupid decisions which have even now not been corrected (though due to be, belatedly, corrected in 2026, apparently).

Sir Keir Starmer will be ousted as Prime Minister within a year, an exclusive poll for The Mail on Sunday has predicted – with furious voters attacking his poor handling of the economy, the NHS, immigration and the cost-of-living crisis.

Nearly a third of all Britons polled in the ‘state of the nation’ survey expect the Labour leader to last another year at most, with more than two thirds (68 per cent) saying he is doing ‘badly’, just six months into the job.

And in news that will worry both Labour and the Conservatives, one in five voters thinks that Nigel Farage will be Britain’s next Prime Minister.

Last night, one Labour MP said privately: ‘If this poll doesn’t ring alarm bells in No10, then we really are doomed.

‘Sadly, it confirms what I and other Labour colleagues are now finding on the doorstep.

‘There never was much support for Keir. But after a catalogue of blunders – from scrapping winter fuel payments to hiking taxes – what little support there was for the Prime Minister has collapsed‘.

The exclusive Deltapoll survey reveals that 69 per cent think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with the cost-of-living crisis and the state of the NHS topping the list of concerns.

“Labour” is dead, the “Conservative” Party is dead, but the only straw at which the electorate can clutch is the very underwhelming Reform UK. Still, “all roads lead to Rome”…at least the System is crumbling, and the “Overton Window” moving.

Well worth a listen.

Covid scamdemic/panicdemic “vaccine” dangers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14136613/disabled-diagnosed-cancer-Covid-vaccine-heartbreaking-experiences.html

Patients whose health has been ravaged after taking Covid-19 vaccines are calling for more support as the Government faces paying out tens of millions of pounds in damages.

Almost 17,000 claims for disability damages have now been submitted after new information emerged about the potential risks including blood clots.

...more people are coming forward to report that have suffered a severe impact, with some linking their vaccines to major problems such as blood cancer, myasthenia gravis and heart disorders.

Almost all of these payments were related to the AstraZeneca vaccine Vaxrevia which triggered a blood clotting complication so rare it was missed in original clinical trials.

That vaccine was once heralded as a ‘triumph for British science’ but came under increasing scrutiny for a very rare complication that causes blood clots and low blood platelet counts.

The jab, developed with Oxford University, can no longer be used in the European Union after AstraZeneca voluntarily withdrew its ‘marketing authorisation’ in May this year.

AstraZeneca’s withdrawal comes months after admitting in legal documents its jab can cause thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), also known as VITT.

I have myself seen examples, though I did not, of course, allow myself to be fooled into taking any of the System’s “vaccine” injections.

Talking point

Look at that. It is admitted that 3.6M or more immigrants have arrived even since “free movement” within the EU ended! That was in December 2020, so that number have arrived in only 4 years! In rough terms, a million a year. Unsustainable. Catastrophic.

“Net” immigration “only 2.3M (or more, in fact more) in about the same time period, but what that means, mainly, is that about 100,000-200,000 (real) British have left every year, trying to get to places such as Australia or New Zealand, or retiring to Spain and other countries. Also, many of the more useful/skilled EU nationals have left.

Incidentally, those Brits going overseas are mostly either genuinely skilled or qualified persons, or have capital and intend to open small businesses, or (and/or) are retirees, who bring money into the countries where they settle, and mostly do not constitute a drain on resources. Quite different to most of the migrant-invaders coming to the UK, who are mostly poor, unqualified, unskilled, and who are a huge drain on resources of every kind, from shelter and housing, through education, hospitals and GP services, to police services (many migrants are petty or not so petty criminals) etc; all that and right through to alien hostiles who may be terroristic.

As to Brexit as a whole, it was deliberately sabotaged.

Former Tory adviser“? Good grief. Just look at him. Just listen to him…

However much Labour is now already hated under Starmer, and despite the inherent absurdity of the “two main parties” binary political fix in England, I really cannot see the “Conservative” Party regaining much if any of its one-time support-level; in fact, I can see it declining further.

That, in turn, may give the uninspiring fake nationalism of Reform UK wings, despite the unexciting nature of most if not all of its 5 present MPs. It may be regarded by many angry/disenchanted voters as the only (protest) game in town.

Very much to the point in contemporary Britain.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.

Blog readers

I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.

I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).

I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.

The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).

The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.

There is a good possibility that that dog will be the most welcome border-crosser, and the least problematic.

Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…

John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.

As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

As far as I know, the Kiev regime has not claimed any successes since its very costly incursion into the Kursk region of Russia a few months ago.

Political interference (direct or indirect) in sentencing.

My landmark legal victory against @BristolUni is being appealed. My case established that anti-Zionist beliefs are protected under the Equality Act 2010. The University wants to overturn this. But if we win at the Employment Appeal Tribunal, we’ll strengthen this precedent, which is invaluable and necessary for pro-Palestine campaigners across Britain and beyond.

I need to raise at least £75k for the appeal. If you can help, please contribute here: https://fightingfund.org/supportmiller.”

“They” never change.

“If you want to know how vile @hopenothate, @lowles_nick & researcher, ex-Nazi @MattHopeNotHate Collins are, here’s your chance. Charlene Downes body has never been found. Gang r*ped at 13 by 100, mainly Pakistani heritage men, she probably was murdered & her body put through a kebab mincer in Blackpool. No one has ever been convicted. Ten years later in 2013 her mother Karen failing to get justice went on a march & was associated with the BNP. Collins went out of his way to trash her, & his piece has the menacing title of: “Time for a police investigation”. What odious people. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2013/12/18/time-for-a-police-investigation-karen/.

Blast(s) from the past

I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:

See also Ruth Smeeth, also a Hope not Hate figure, now (risibly) elevated to the totally-degraded House of Lords as “Baroness” Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth. A half-Jewish Zionist agent.

Is there anything that “they” do not steal or want to steal?
