That horrible greedy farmer who badly damaged the River Lugg a couple of years ago has been released from prison, having served only 2-3 months of an already-lenient 10-month sentence.
A good example of how weak the justice system now is. Some flexibility is good, but when convicts are only serving a quarter of a prison sentence, and when that sentence is often inadequate to start with, the system itself starts to break down, as does society.

Piers Corbyn, one of the great British eccentrics, the kind applauded by G.K. Chesterton in some of his Father Brown stories.
Piers Corbyn is bonkers, but he’s bloody right here. The mission creep to move away from cash will impact so many old, vulnerable and cash businesses, at a time when banks are shutting branches and cancelling accounts for opinions that they don’t like.

“Legal tender” is legal tender, but you can see the way the UK is going: “app only” purchasing, “15 minute ghettoes cities”, “social credit”, etc. Dystopian Britain. It’s happening, gradually, all around us, right in front of us.
Part of that is the fake “communitarianism” tested out during the “Covid” “scamdemic”/”panicdemic”, e.g. the “caring sharing” NHS which leaves millions to suffer and die; also the “emergency services” (police, ambulance, fire brigade) in general, which used to respond within minutes, maybe 5, 10, 15 minutes, but now (at least the first two) sometimes take hours to arrive or, more commonly, just refuse to attend at all, referring callers either to a website, or to some bloody “app”, or to often-useless advice lines.

There seems to be only one solution for the Afghan[istan] problem, meaning to delete and start anew, from tabula rasa. The British, Russians, Americans and British (again) failed in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The Soviet Union was winning from 1979, but the Americans stupidly created a monster by funnelling arms and ammunition to the savage tribesmen and fanatics such as Osama bin Laden. When it comes to the USA, it seems that its ignorant leaders never learn.
The same is true for armchair warrior Tobias Ellwood.
HEAT PUMP TYCOON ADMITS:
“Heat pumps do not work in cold winters and …..are so noisy, a group of them can rattle your windows”
Only @reformparty_uk will stop the Net Zero heat pump madness
That may be right about heat pumps, or some heat pumps, I do not know, but one thing I am sure of is that Reform UK has no chance, politically. Recent by-elections have made that clear.
I do not think that the tide of affairs is moving toward “libertarian” “conservatism”. The people want clean efficient government, in fact quite a few want (unconsciously) a less “Germanic” form of national socialism, or even national near-“communism”, as problems abound with cost of living, housing, crime, migration-invasion, huge inequality etc.
Whatever the UK population does, doesn’t change the climate of the World one iota. People will not tolerate being made poorer or have freedoms removed, for a Net zero con trick.
Time to speak up.

SHOIGU PRESENTED INFORMATION ABOUT UKRAINIAN LOSSES
➡️🇷🇺The Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sergei Shoigu, presented data on Ukrainian losses during the month of July. From July 1 to July 31, Ukrainians lost:
20,000 killed and wounded in a month. How long can the Kiev regime sustain such losses out of a declining population (low birth rate, and many women and teenagers leaving for other countries)?

@danwootton Watching Stanley Johnson defend the surveillance of the electorate for wrong think, I can start to see some of why The Conservative Party got the last thirteen years so wrong.
“A farmer who hired diggers and builders to illegally rip out trees along a riverbank has been jailed for 12 months.
But the farmer was jailed – and ordered to pay more than £1.2m in court and restoration costs – after a judge described his action on the Herefordshire river as ‘ecological vandalism on an industrial scale’.“
Today he was jailed for 12 months and disqualified from being a company director for three years.
The cost to the damage to the River Lugg at Kingsland, near Leominster, and the embankments amounts to £600,000, which Price must repay in 12 months.“

I recall blogging about that greedy farmer-vandal at the time, 4-5 years ago. Good to see that he has been punished, and especially that he will now have to pay for the restorative work.
Sadly, we now live in a country where the definition of bullying includes telling someone to do their job. Where the slightest upset or annoyance is indulged with endless reports and inquiries.

“Sensitive, empathic, and insightful, you care deeply about people, wanting to accommodate them on the one hand, and having strong visions that you desperately want to turn into reality on the other. Often preoccupied with mulling over your personal thoughts in your own head, others are likely to describe you as tolerant, courteous, and appreciative, but also a bit remote and dreamy. Thoughtful and caring, you have a well-developed facility for putting yourself in another person’s place and an instinctive understanding of how people work. Though you tend to spend considerable time fantasizing about how society could be improved, you typically refrain from arguing passionately in favor of your solutions. Instead, you prefer to influence others by gently letting them know how their individual contributions would be invaluable in the greater scheme of things.”
This apparently puts me on the same page as Jefferson and Gandhi, inter alia.
Radio 4 TodayProgramme
Heard what I thought sounded like a typical British and aged Oxbridge academic woman called Dr. Brenda Boardman, demanding that the little UK, with its relatively small population, take measures (which might trash our living standards) to “reduce emissions”, despite the fact that all UK “emissions” of “greenhouse gases” add up to only 1% of those of the world as a whole.
In fact, though she does work out of Oxford University, the woman concerned got a Open University degree in Sociology and Technology around 1980 at the age of (about) 40: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_Boardman.
I have no objection to people getting degrees “late” or from the Open University, and it may be that that lady’s work overall has been valuable, but it can be very dangerous or destructive to give academics or semi-academics too much power or influence over the real UK. Look at “SAGE” (aka “DUMB”— “Department Under Matt and Boris”)…
River Lugg
Horrible and upsetting to hear on the Today Programme that “someone”, presumably a local farmer or landowner, has deliberately trashed over a mile of the bank of the River Lugg, which meets the Wye near Hereford: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Lugg
Trees cut down, bushes etc destroyed, the bank of the river actually canalized, otters, birds and fish killed or displaced.
Penalties for this sort of crime must be greatly increased.
[Update, 9 December 2020:the following tweet was seen by me]
The farm at the heart of the Lugg River story gets a lot of subsidies. In 2000-2009 it received 1.93 million euros of farm payments. In 2018 it was £213k. Last year £189k. That's about 950-1000ha.
This is why paying farmers for public goods, not owning land, is the way forward.
Crash the economy & reduce the peasants to joyless poverty, and emissions of the world's most important natural fertiliser will indeed fall. The old Communists wanted to control the means of production, the new ones want to abolish them. It won't end well!https://t.co/mvWH3qKnZe
I don’t see myself as anything of the kind @clagsborough. I have repeatedly rejected attempts to describe me as an ‘intellectual’ , and describe myself as what I am, a jobbing scribbler. https://t.co/m3hNhCHBft

If you are *infuriated* by the opinions of another person @richardz86, the chances are very strong that this person is expressing opinions you yourself suspect are correct, but fear to adopt. I speak as someone who has been through the unpleasant process of changing my mind. https://t.co/IgQdYwX2oP
I should say, the degree of domestic comfort now taken for granted by UK residents of all conditions. Central heating is major, as is hot water on tap without problems (see old British films for an idea of what many had to endure before, not even 1945, but c.1970).
Incidentally, the first house in England (and UK, I think) to have central heating, at least since the days of Roman Britain, was the country house of the steel magnate, Bessemer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Bessemer], which country house is now a seaside hotel [https://www.beachhousemilfordonsea.co.uk/] not more than a few miles from where I myself now live. Oddly, I also lived (for a year or two) near another area associated with Bessemer, Denmark Hill in South London, which was his main residence (and he died there, not long before the outbreak of the First World War).
What made me laugh were some of the responses to that Goodwin question. Some cited “public housing” (though of course that pre-dated 1945), “good and reliable television” (“reliable”, yes, if that means the picture appears when you switch on; “good”, doubtful…), and of course TV never really got going until the early 1950s though it had existed (in both Germany and the UK) since the 1930s, but with only a few hundred viewers initially.
I did not see “mass immigration” as an “important advance or achievement” cited by even one of the usually avid Twitter virtue-signallers. Honesty by default?
That Anderson person is in the pocket of the Jewish lobby. He used to tweet against me, before part of that same Jew lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018. Interesting to see this news. “Oh dear, what a pity, never mind!…“
Speaking of “what goes around comes around”, here is serial Twitter troll “@grubstreetsteve”, aka “@rattus2384”, real name Stephen Applebaum, an active conspirator of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, tweeting to others, notably “@TimGStevens” (aka “Dr. Dim”) about me:
Millard appears to have zero life beyond providing commentary on Chabloz's case and writing snide antisemitic blogs.
So I have “zero life“? Well, it is true that my life is far less affluent —and far more circumscribed in consequence— than it was 15, 20, or more years ago, but Applebaum might reflect on how saying unpleasant things can boomerang back: he, once (long ago) an aspiring film critic, is now never, or hardly ever, published anywhere, is basically a “house husband”, and moreover has recently been tweeting about how he has been diagnosed as having both cancer and “Coronavirus”, which has affected his lungs etc.
As for “Dr. Dim” (Tim G. Stevens), an NHS psychiatrist with a depressive condition, and based in Essex, his tweet (above) scarcely covers his apparent obsession, stretching over several years now, with me. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/. Seems to be an honesty problem and a medical ethics problem there…
Actually, “Dr. Dim” tweeted not long ago to another mentally-disordered Zionist (a Jewish woman from North London) that he quite often looks at my blog (the said Jewess replied that she looks at it daily, no doubt to see whether she might be able to make —another— malicious complaint against me to the police). In other words, Dr. Dim’s assertion that he hardly knows of me, and so on, is rather “economical with the truth”…
“They” snoop constantly on my blog. They do not realize that, by so doing, their own minds will be affected.
Another troll exposed in open court, like Applebaum, is Stephen Silverman, “Head of Enforcement and Investigations” at the sinister Jew-Zionist cabal, the so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA).
I have noticed that quite a few people on Twitter, gratuitously nasty about me in the past decade, are now either dead or have serious and chronic medical conditions. Looks like someone “up there” is on my side. As the ancient Chinese proverb has it, “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just“. May God mote it be!
In Hampshire, each little police area seems to run its own Twitter account. Most are unexceptionable, informing the public about their work, and about arrests made etc, appealing for information, and so on. Quite useful for the public. A few, however, have fallen into socio-political bias. For example, the “Waterside Cops” Twitter account (covering the area of the Solent shore South West of Southampton), seemed to be, until recently, full of propaganda about “hate speech”, and also about how good, supposedly, are the “Roma”, “traveller” etc “communities”. Ironic, in view of the “situation” with those “communities”…
Well, it seems that the Chief Constable (or whoever) has taken the matter in hand, with the result that all the local police Twitter accounts in Hampshire, all the ones of which I am aware anyway, will be closed on 4 January 2021. It may be that they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater, in that most of those accounts, most of the time, were all right. Still, there it is.
The above tweet may be unintentionally misleading. The hearing on 17 December 2020 is the trial of Alison Chabloz on another three charges arising from a complaint made in 2019 by Stephen Silverman of the “CAA”. It is not directly connected with Alison’s appeal in respect of earlier trials or matters (which are now concluded).
Bhakdi is almost a prophet, foreseeing the extent and nature of this needless tragedy from the start. The extreme gentleness of his manner contrasts with the contained power of what he has to say. https://t.co/5TASi4kGNw
Read Peter Hitchens’ book the abolition of liberty. Jury trial has been undermined for decades and is barely functional now, Keir Starmer ran the crown prosecution service and it’s not fit for purpose
When Starmer was put in (by the Jewish/Israel lobby) to re-take Labour (he’s married to a Jewish woman lawyer; children brought up as Jewish, just like those of that corrupt little pissant, Robert Jenrick), I thought that he would at least look reasonably competent. Wrong!
After 1-2 years of the incompetence of Boris-idiot, he is still well ahead of Keir Starmer in the opinion polls!
