Crazed women abused children

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68353302

“A Utah mother whose harsh parenting advice made her a YouTube influencer has been sentenced to at least four years in prison for child abuse.

The two women were arrested in August 2023 after Franke’s malnourished 12-year-old son climbed out of a window at Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, Utah. Police said the child then ran to a neighbour’s house and asked for food and water. He had lacerations from being tied up with rope, according to police records.

 “[YouTube] fans started to become suspicious in 2020, when one of her sons mentioned that he had been forced to sleep on a bean bag for seven months.

YouTube viewers combed through her archives and pointed out other disturbing and controversial methods used by Franke – such as withholding food, threatening to chop the head off a toy stuffed animal and “cancelling” Christmas as a punishment.

Franke then began appearing in YouTube videos posted by Ms Hildebrandt – a counsellor and life coach – on her site, ConneXions Classroom.

Away from the camera, however, Franke’s children were being subjected to even harsher abuse.

This included tying them up, beating and kicking them, neglecting to feed them and forcing them to work outdoors in the summer without sunscreen, resulting in serious sunburn, according to police records.

In a plea agreement, Hildebrandt stated that she either tortured the children or was aware of the abuse and that she forced one of Franke’s daughters to “jump into a cactus multiple times”.

Terrible, and comes against a background of too-strict American parenting, though plenty of too-indulgent parenting exists there too. I concede that, as someone without offspring, I write as a mere observer. I do think, though, that many Americans are too strict with their children, but I admit that I have also seen much of the opposite tendency (children allowed to behave and speak rather rudely).

Some type of civil war is coming. It may be in 2025, it may be in 2035 or later, but it is coming…

As to Matt Goodwin, I am wondering why he appears to be bolstering the electoral case for not only Reform UK but also the Conservative Party.

Having said that, I doubt whether anything can now save the Conservative Party, let alone the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

As Powell said, “we must be mad, literally mad“, but it is not the British people themselves but a small minority —at Westminster, in the newspapers, on TV and radio, in the legal professions and the universities etc— who are the guilty parties.

In fact, the British people as a whole do bear at least some of the guilt, for being so apathetic as to allow themselves to be repressed and then, as is now happening, replaced.

Nearly 100%, in fact, because almost all of the remaining 8% will be births to first, or second, or third-generation non-white women, and a relative few to white women but first/second/third-generation immigrant fathers. Hardly any to white couples.

My daughter is two years-old. She’s already lived through three prime ministers, four chancellors, two monarchs, a global pandemic, and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. What will she live through in the years ahead, I often wonder?

It’s a question most parents ask themselves. And it’s one I asked myself again yesterday while reading a new forecast on how Britain’s population will change over the next twelve years —which is not a very long time at all.

The forecast, from the independent Office for National Statistics, is striking to say the least. And I suspect many people out there in the country, many of the people who are perhaps reading this Substack, will find it deeply worrying.

By the year 2036, by the time my daughter turns fifteen, Britain’s population will have grown by another 6.6 million people. In just fifteen years, in just three election cycles, the population will surge by 10 per cent, rising from 67 million people to nearly 74 million. And of the additional 6.6 million people in the country —another 6.6 million people using the NHS, the GPs, the schools, the roads, and looking for a house to buy or rent— some 6.1 million will be here because of immigration.

The Gaza slaughter is only continuing because the Jewish lobby in the USA now effectively controls, as it has done since at least the 1960s, both U.S. policy in Washington and, also, the American mass media, thus cheerleading the largely-ignorant and easily-led American masses.

Boris Johnson asked for 1 million in “US dollars, gold or bitcoins” for an interview on the situation in Ukraine, Tucker Carlson said. The journalist reported the politician’s demand to Blaze.

Carlson tried to arrange an interview with the former British Prime Minister, who called him a “tool of the Kremlin” because of the interview with Putin. But he asked him for a meeting for 1 million in “US dollars, gold or bitcoins”:

“I’m not defending Putin, but Putin didn’t ask me for a million dollars. So Boris Johnson is a much more slippery and nasty guy than Vladimir Putin.”

Does that idiot even believe what he is saying? Ukraine (Kiev regime) cannot “win”. It cannot regain the oblasti of Donetsk, Lugansk (and/or Crimea etc). It cannot attack, in any serious way, Russia itself.

It could only achieve those objectives by drawing NATO directly into the war (leading, probably, to a world war), or by somehow contriving a palace revolution in Moscow. Neither of those possibilities is likely to take place.

I have been wondering why the Western msm obsession with Navalny. Was it because, after the death of Boris Nemtsov, Navalny was the only high-profile opposition figure in Russia? Like Nemtsov, his support was only about 5% of the population, and could never have reached even 20%.

Navalny did get 27% in the Moscow Mayoralty election of 2013, but Moscow is not Russia; an island of Westernization and (relative) affluence. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Navalny#Ratings.

As blogged previously, I think that Navalny was almost certainly a braver man than me (going back from exile in Germany to almost-certain arrest in Russia), and certainly a more reckless one, inter alia.

Incidentally, I just saw this about Zhirinovsky, the supposedly “Russian nationalist” stalking horse of the early 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Zhirinovsky#Jewish_heritage.

Various “reasons”, from the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic fallout to “Ukraine” (support for Zelensky’s corrupt, chaotic, and brutal dictatorship, and Israel), to the importation of millions of parasites. Overall, the shorthand terms “NWO”, “ZOG”, “WEF” and “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan ” pretty much cover it.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13046803/royal-navy-small-ships-p2000-hms-queen-elizabeth-norway.html

Four of the Royal Navy’s smallest ships are preparing to head to the Arctic to represent Britain in a major NATO exercise after the fleet’s largest ship, the £3bn HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, was forced to pull out due to a ‘propeller issue’.

Four tiny P2000s, which normally patrol coastlines with crews of five, were seen making final preparations before heading to Norway for NATO’s largest joint exercise since the Cold War amid fears of escalating tensions on Europe’s eastern border.

Notably absent from today’s preparations was the 65,000-ton aircraft carrier, usually manned by a team of 780, which experts say could be docked for ‘a couple of months’ as engineers scramble to fix it.

Police broke up a snaking queue that formed outside a newly-opened NHS dental practice today, in scenes which illustrate the appointments crisis plaguing millions of desperate Brits.

One person stuck in the line outside the surgery in Bristol’s St Paul’s district was a disabled cancer patient who ‘had no choice’ but to brave the cold. 

Meanwhile, a carer in her late 70s who chose to sit down on the path after waiting since 8.30am slammed the unacceptable delays.

A local news website compared the queue, eventually shut by police at 2.15pm, as being ‘reminiscent of Soviet-era Eastern Europe’, where queues for basic goods like food were an infamous part of daily life.

Happened to come across the local history piece above. I was struck by the relatively lenient sentences. The ringleader (caught ripping off a bank, and in possession of gelignite, detonators etc), got 4 years. He had 10 previous convictions. Even in those days, when people convicted did either 2/3 or 3/4 of their sentence (I forget) rather than half (as today, in most cases), he would have still been out in about 2-3 years. That was in 1962. He would get far longer today.

Metropolitan Police officer charged with multiple rapes tied up one alleged victim and threatened to ‘slit’ her with a knife, a court heard yesterday.

Cliff Mitchell, 24, came under investigation by colleagues after his alleged victim was seen trying to escape from his car, her wrists bound with cable ties, it is claimed.

His fellow officers were summoned, and after that ‘harrowing’ incident, in September last year, an investigation began, Croydon Crown Court was told, leading to a series of allegations against the policeman.

Yesterday Mitchell, who is no longer in the force, faced 13 counts of rape against two alleged victims. Six charges relate to one female – including one when she was aged just 12.

In the medium term, Israel is doomed.

Ha ha!…

Any real British government would not accept these American weapons on British soil. They make the UK even more of a potential target.

Israeli Jews— inter-generational thieves.

If a social-national government cannot take power within the next decade, Britain is doomed and British society will become a chaotic and brutal dystopia.

Exclusive: BBC staff are being told not to hire candidates who are “dismissive” of diversity and inclusion. A recruitment policy document says that applicants should be asked to “what opportunities do you see for you to promote, celebrate or encourage diversity and inclusion in your role?”

The guidelines tell recruiters “don’t hire; [candidates who are] unsuited to the organisation” if they are “dismissive or derisory of diversity and inclusion and surrounding topics”.

Managers are also directed not to offer jobs to candidates if they show a “lack of interest in learning more where no evidence of education and understanding of diversity and inclusion was given”.

Commenting on the recruitment guidelines, a BBC source said: “The BBC is not a welcoming place for those with conservative opinions. Management talks about diversity, without embracing diversity of thought.

The place that I have given years of my working life, and that I sincerely cherish, currently feels captured by Left-wing activists and is unable to deliver on our core principle of impartiality.”

“Hiring on the basis of adherence to diversity and inclusion ideology excludes most conservative-minded people, and indeed much of the population.

[Steven Edginton, Daily Telegraph].

The BBC, even more than other msm, is a nest of treachery and evil, as shown by its propaganda output during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic.

I was just thinking, “just like the Soviet system of having at least one ‘politichesky rukovoditel‘ (political director, executive, supervisor, or commissar) attached to each ship or Army formation, and assisted by ‘sekretnye sotrudniki’ or ‘stukachi‘ (‘secret co-workers’ or ‘informers’).”

So it seems that the Royal Navy probably has far more of those officers than it has ships: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy.

Sorry to see that notice. I was a member of Lincoln’s Inn from 1986 until I was (wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred in 2016, at which point my membership of the Inn was, effectively, terminated automatically.

As a very frequent user of Lincoln’s Inn Library, I knew Catherine for many years (1988 to about 2002). She was from the North (maybe North East) of England, from a family in a coal-mining community. Beyond that, I knew little of her personal life, though I believe that she got married at some point after having joined Lincoln’s Inn (and the photograph in that tweet, showing a ring, would seem to support that).

A nice person.

Mortality. It comes to us all. Catherine, I now see, was actually 6 years younger than me. It reminds us that we must stand up for truth and justice etc while we live, no matter what challenges the forces of Evil array against us.

Quite a few people I have known in my life have died now, many of whom were younger than me. I have mentioned a few on the blog: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/05/20/diary-blog-20-may-2021/, and

Well, looked at from an ethics-free view (and/or from the Israeli point of view), that operation has the hallmarks of skill and cunning. Equally obviously, to kill patients prostrate in a hospital (one photo shows a single bullet-hole in the centre of a hospital pillow, with blood around it) is pretty abhorrent and, indeed, very wicked, something one would associate with the worst criminals and terrorists.

Frederick Forsyth was or is very pro-Israeli. I saw something from him once to the effect that terrorists who then gain state power (as happened in Israel/Palestine when the various Jew-Zionist terrorists of the Irgun, Palmach, Stern Gang /”Lehi” etc became part of the Israeli power structure) can leave their terrorism behind and become “normal” political leaders of “normal” states.

Forsyth’s view may have had its arguments when he was most fervently pro-Israel, in the 1960s, 1970s, but now the facts have changed or become more evident: Israel’s massacres of Arab civilians every few years, and of course the truth coming out more in the West about the ethnic cleansing (mass murder, and theft of land) carried out by the Jews in Israel/Palestine from 1948 to the present day.

Forsyth himself, who always strikes me as rather dim, at least politically, was cheated out of much of his invested money by a Jew he trusted (“Roger” Something), insult then being added to injury by the said Jew receiving a mere suspended sentence for the embezzlement of millions of pounds. That episode is, incidentally, absent from Wikipedia. “They” seem to have been “editing” (sabotaging) again…

Final word

Regular readers will be aware that I am to be sentenced tomorrow for allegedly having posted “grossly offensive” (anti-Jew-Zionist) material on 5 out of some 1,700 blog posts published since this blog started in late 2016.

It may be that part of the sentence will include a restriction on the publication of the blog. If so, the restriction might last for a year. We shall see.

Freedom of expression on political, social and even historical topics is as good as dead in the UK, and those responsible are, for the most part, those who may well be called “the usual suspects”.

I hope to resume blogging soon, but if that proves not to be the case, I wish all well-intentioned readers well, and hope to resume transmission in due course.

I should have updated this post earlier, not waited two and a half years.

Well, I was not, in the end, sentenced until mid-March 2024 (for having published the truth), because the underwhelming Counsel (instructed by the infested/suborned Clown Prosecution “Service”) was pressured by the CPS —but really by the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”— to make a doomed and poorly-drafted application to restrict my blogging (which continued on a near-daily basis right through the process of police snooping, trial, sentencing, and punishment, and still continues).

Two amphibious warships are set to be ‘mothballed’ in a move critics have said could spell ‘the beginning of the end’ for the Royal Marines, as the Navy tries to tackle a sailor shortage crisis.

HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark could be retired from active service under plans put forward by Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, according to The Times.

The plans would be designed to help deal with the manpower crisis in the Royal Navy, freeing up more than 200 sailors for other ships – most likely the force’s new fleet of Type 26 frigates when they come into service.

But the move has been slammed by critics who say the ships are crucial to the functioning of the elite commando force, with experts saying their retirement would weaken the Marines by diminishing their ability to storm beaches from the sea.”

[Daily Mail]

Ha ha! In what world does Britain presently need the “ability to storm beaches“? Not the world where the only “storming” of beaches is by migrant-invaders invading the UK.

As far as I am concerned, the armed forces have virtually no useful role in a Britain becoming totally alien, and which soon will have nothing its inhabitants will wish to defend anyway.

Come to think of it, I was just watching an episode of Spooks, a TV series I did not see when it was first broadcast. That led me to thoughts around what use is MI5. The damage (possibly mortal) being done to the UK is not by spies infiltrating government offices, and not by anarchists or others wanting to assassinate MPs etc, but by a tsunami of immigration, and by the cultural trashing of our mass media, publishing, schools etc. About all that, MI5 has nothing to say, and even less to do.

While I have no reason to think that “Captain Tom” was other than “well-meaning”, that whole thing was just a ridiculous “silly season” kind of story, and was pushed by the mass media because it tended to validate the idea that NHS service is wonderful and that the NHS was only failing in its main mission because overwhelmed by the “Covid” virus (that in fact, statistically, killed very few people).

I was always suspicious of the hangers-on, especially the daughter, who now turns out to be yet another “grifter” or even fraudster, like so many around today: “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, Jolyon Maugham, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. Hundreds of this or that type are on Twitter alone.

As for the NHS, the cartoon below seems to encapsulate the public debate:

The NHS principle (“free at point of use”) is one I support, but it is clear that the NHS has lost its way. It —like the Welfare State generally— cannot work when mass immigration causes an endless line of new demand for its services. Also, maladministration has been patent for years, indeed for at least two decades. At present, the NHS is not really “doing what it says on the tin”. It is now a very hit-and-miss service.

They never really tried. Yet another political scam. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan requires Europe to be invaded by non-Europeans, particularly blacks and browns, and to be ruled by Jews and part-Jews. Look around you…

As far as the Channel migration-invasion is concerned, once a small number of boats were sunk (by Britain’s otherwise now-pointless Royal Navy), and that fact publicized, few others would even try; but the existing political system is either too weak, or implicated in the Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy, to take the initial harsh decision required.

Thus, instead of sinking the boats of the invaders, the Navy ferries the invaders to Dover, assisted by other corrupted organizations such as the RNLI, the Coastguard, the Border Force (“Farce”) etc.

I agree almost completely. The NHS is an object-lesson in maladministration, particularly the hospital sector.

As blogged previously, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder.

Crazy Jewish woman, who holds herself out as being an expert in international relations and foreign trade, displays a complete lack of understanding, perhaps wilfully.

If Ukraine (Kiev regime) is allowed to join NATO, before very long there will be a situation created which might trigger “Article 5”, meaning that there would be war between Russia and the NATO states. The UK might then be subject to attack by strategic nuclear weapons. Nein danke…

That is, in fact, Zelensky’s only real chance of achieving any sort of “victory” in this war, to have a revolution in Russia, thus collapsing the front-line; as in 1917, when Russia was facing the Central Powers.

Russia has money coming out of its ears. The economic sanctions put in place by the EU, USA and UK have actually strengthened the Russian economy and strategically-hastened the fall of the post-1945 international order. The sanctions have mainly hit the taxpayers of the Western powers.

Russia needs to strengthen its culture, and cut back on the products and values coming out of Hollywood, New York and other such centres of decadence. Films, TV, pop music etc.

Britain’s £3.2 billion aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been reduced to acting as a scrap-yard. Essential pieces of equipment are being ripped out of the stricken warship, a move that raises questions over its long-term future.

The UK’s second carrier has been in dry dock since breaking down off Portsmouth in August 2022.

Now Navy top brass have begun stripping the carrier – a process known as ‘cannibalisation’ – which will render HMS Prince of Wales inoperable for much longer. Lift chains, which allow fighter jets to be raised from below deck, electrical systems and sections of the ship’s gas turbines have been taken out.

So will the few functioning ships of the Royal Navy now be tasked to fight Russia? Or China? Both? Or neither?

Sudan was once just one minor part of our huge and generally well-run Empire. Pity that that has passed into history. Now the blacks and browns fight for the right to cream off the bribes that accompany power in black Africa and elsewhere.

Yes, but so is the fake “Opposition”. Get rid of both.

Diary Blog, 23 February 2023, with thoughts around “open borders”, mass immigration, migration-invasion, and the Welfare State

Talking points

The quotation directly above expresses a fact which many prefer to ignore. Note— not “disagree with”, but ignore. They do not want the truth, but comforting (?) lies.

The UK is almost open-borders now. The “British” Government (packed with Jews, Indians, you name it) has basically given up the struggle to defend our borders. In that circumstance, how long can even the semblance of a “Welfare State” be maintained?

What seems to have been happening in Britain is that the outward forms have been and are being maintained but, at the same time, the content has been, and is being, hollowed out.

Not just Welfare State services such as State benefit levels, but allied aspects of society: the NHS is one. The NHS still exists, but underfunding and mass immigration is testing it to the limit. NHS dentistry is disappearing, in fact has almost disappeared. The GP service is now a skeleton of what it was only a few years ago.

Of course, “Covid”, or “the Covid crisis”, or “the pandemic” is a very useful excuse as to why standards cannot be maintained. You (apparently, supposedly) cannot see a GP or a dentist “because of” the “panicdemic” of 2020-2021.

That has become the contemporary version of the 1940s British excuse for non-availability of goods and services, as when, in the film of The Cruel Sea, senior Royal Navy Reserve officer Jack Hawkins calls over a steward at (?) the Trocadero in London to complain about dust in the decanter of water on his table, only to be told “I’m very sorry, Sir, it’s the war, you know…“, to which Hawkins replies, wryly, “well, in that case, I should not want to make too much of it” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cruel_Sea_(1953_film)].

The same has been the case in very many areas of British life. When I was reading for the Bar in 1987, there was discussion about whether wigs and gowns would still be worn by barristers in the future. A wise old barrister replied that “they will get rid of everything else before they get rid of wigs in court“.

That turned out to be right. The Bar has changed radically since the 1980s, in a few respects for the better but in most respects for the worse, but those wigs are still there, at least in the Crown Court (though now more rare in civil cases, in both the High Court and in the County Court).

Look at the armed forces. The outward forms are still there, but the few remaining ships are merely like stumps sticking out of drought-hit fields. A couple of aircraft carriers without planes (!), and the officers and crews of warships (as seen on “reality TV”) seem pretty poor quality, at least from what is shown.

In fact, so useless are our armed forces now that “Boris” idiot recently suggested giving our remaining planes and tanks to the Jew Zelensky in Kiev, because the UK has no use for them! Johnson was derided, of course, but actually (while I would not want to support the Kiev regime) Johnson had a point.

The Navy now does little but ferry migrant invaders to the UK (!) and interdict drug smugglers (the only way to really stop the drug problem, though, is to hit the consumers in the UK, and hit them really hard).

Why do we even bother having a navy in those circumstances?

As to the Army’s tanks, they seem to be of no use at all here, and are only used for exercises and for occasional foreign misadventures such as Iraq, and that was decades ago.

The Royal Air Force? Most of its bases have been closed down, and most of the rest are really semi-disguised USAF bases.

Is there, likewise, much reality in the Monarchy? I think not. Not only The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, and Meghan Mulatta. Not only Prince Andrew, that useless and unpleasant freeloader. Not only the rest of them, but also their actual role. What are they for, really? Does their existence as “royals” really serve any purpose now?

The migration-invasion, and the general mass immigration into the UK, has ripped the stuffing out of this country. The original 1950s to 1970s immigration from former colonies turned Commonwealth countries was bad enough, but in the past ~40 years, and especially since about 1989, there has been a flood even from countries which which the UK has historically had few if any ties. That increased during and after Blair’s evil regime, i.e. post-1997.

The old idea was that immigrants, even non-whites, would just blend in with British people and their way of life. That was only a half-truth even half a century or more ago. Now, it is just not so; the numbers have become too great. Britain may be majority non-white as early as 2050, and even many of the European people here now are not British in any real sense; many are the rejected dross from the poorer parts on the continent.

It makes me laugh when I read in newspapers about how the UK is being “defended” by the armed forces, and by the security and intelligence bureaucrats. What are they now “defending”? Not the British people or their way of life, that’s for sure. That is being destroyed from within. Mass immigration. Births to non-whites. Corruption at Westminster. Cultural trash on TV , radio and elsewhere. Cheap hee-hawing by Jew comedians and others. All of that.

I tremble to think of what Britain might look like by 2050, let alone 2100, if we cannot reverse the process, or take the country in a new direction. I myself (b. 1956) will not be on Earth by then, but it may be that, before then, Fate will enable me to join with the best of my fellow Brits to change the mood music in the next 20 years. We shall see.

Amazing how many quite educated and/or intelligent-seeming people, including well-known journalists, MPs etc have been so easily bamboozled by “Jack Monroe” and her tissue of lies.

How long before that happens in the UK too? Already, “Gypsy” and other designations are suggested as derogatory in themselves (cf. “Jew”).

So what happens after that? Does the USA think that it can face down Russia, China, not to mention smaller states, combined?

That graphic leaves out the Labour result in 2019— only 32.1%…

Of course, the popular vote share, the numbers of seats won or lost, and the end result, are two or three different things in the UK system.

At present, Labour is hugely ahead in the opinion polls.

I was of the view that Labour’s open door immigration policy (the real policy, not the “horseshit” fed to the public via the msm) would put voters off from voting Labour-label, but the “Conservatives”, under Indian money-juggler Sunak, are plainly bent on importing more millions, and have done nothing at all even to slightly reduce mass immigration, including the cross-Channel migration-invasion, so many people will just want to punish the Con Party even if knowing in their hearts that Labour will be no better in most respects— and worse in some.

Incidentally, that YouGov poll, if reflective of actual voting at the next general election, would give Labour the biggest Commons majority in history— a Commons majority of 430 [Labour 540, Con 20, LibDem 19, SNP 47, others 24 (inc. Northern Irish seats)].

That really would be “elected dictatorship”, especially with tyrannical Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves in Cabinet. See https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

That is what at any rate used to be the Consulate, the Embassy itself being nearby.

I remember standing in a long, slow line outside one of the gates in early 1993, the first time I needed a Russian visa.

In fact I had already been there once, in the 1980s, when I queued on behalf of my then girlfriend’s mother, who apart from being too aged to wait in line for hours, always seemed to have trouble there because she was born in pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg in or about 1908, and had insisted that her British passport reflect that and not (as per the silly Passport Office rule) Leningrad (the Passport Office staff always prefer to change places of birth to the latest name of the location, so “Tanganyika” is changed to “Tanzania” even if the latter was not in existence at the date of birth).

Of course, that 1980s visa for the old lady mentioned was a Soviet one, not a Russian one as such..

Incidentally, the fall of socialism in and after 1989, and the official end of the Soviet Union in 1991, brought a change in the way that the consulate treated its visitors. In the 1980s, an unwelcoming ambience and the strange little holes in the glass screen above the reception desk, as at old railway stations, the holes too low to speak through without stooping (they are —or used to be— everywhere in Russia, even at the Kremlin ticket office); in 1993, a new reception desk and no screen with little holes (in fact no screen at all, I seem to remember), and girls who actually smiled and were pleasant, unlike the sullen factotums of yesteryear.

The last two times I needed a Russian visa, in 1996 and 2007, I did not need to queue or to go there; commercial organizations will do it for you, at a price. I ended up going to Moscow again in 2007, but not in 1996, that visit having been called off at short notice, the very day before I was due to travel.

My own assessment, from 3-4 years ago, of Therese Coffey:

People of Britain: you know who your enemies are, and they are not the Russian people, not Putin, and not the so-called “far right” (social nationalists, who are fighting your fight)…

As far as ordinary System politics is concerned, the best result of any general election now is that the misnamed Conservative Party be simply wiped out, even at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship”. Once one half of the binary political scam has gone, sooner or later the whole rotten system will fall.

Meanwhile, the British people face high prices and shortages. Online repression means that I cannot suggest how to punish the freeloaders…

Actually, a friend of mine used to lunch quite often at the House of Lords in the 1980s and 1990s. Similar prices, or even cheaper, adjusted for inflation. Smoked salmon for pennies, main courses a couple of pounds.

In fact the tweet is mistaken, and the local newspaper report misleading. One untermensch was imprisoned for 12 years, the other for 10, meaning that, in fact, they will be out in 6 and 5 years respectively.

Odd though. How was the woman “lured” to the locus of the attack, a flat? Are we getting the full story here? I think not.

A little judicious “racism” might save many women and girls in the UK. Fact.

Even leaving aside the crime(s), what use are untermenschen of that type to the UK? They are nothing but a millstone round the collective neck. Useless humanoids. Get rid of them.

As said in relation to other matters, people know in their hearts what will eventually have to happen.

One cannot see, as some simpletons did in the 1970s, the conflict in Northern Ireland as simply a kind of “national liberation struggle”. More a kind of several-hundred-years-old sectarian conflict between two populations, and mainly occurring in a relatively few areas of the province.

The methods of the IRA in the 1970s and 1980s particularly were brutal and callous. Despite some harsh measures on the part of the British and/or Northern Irish authorities, the sort of 1930s/1940s Soviet-style clearances that might have finished the whole problem were never used, nor ever even contemplated.

The British never really hit the IRA infrastructure as hard as they could have. Gerry Adams was, ludicrously, allowed to be notionally “on the dole” for many years, ferried around in one of the black taxis used extensively by the IRA. He and McGuinness and the like were never killed, their families never arrested, their properties never destroyed.

I think that it is clear that the British always favoured, at root, a nice polite Westminster-style “political solution”, even if that meant, strategically, giving in to Sinn Fein (and thus the IRA) in the long run (if only because the birth-rate of the “Republican”/Catholic population was higher than that of the “Loyalist”/Protestant population).

The same happened in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, a country I myself visited in 1977. In 1979, the British played it their usual way, with a nice polite conference at Lancaster House in London (a rather nice small palace, of sorts, which I saw when invited to a couple of receptions in the 1990s).

The British used their intelligence services to bug the hotels of the delegates, and made sure no-one blew the place up. Emerging from that was the idea of a British-style “election” from which would inevitably emerge the winner, that nice, well-educated, little man, Robert Mugabe.

That’s how Britain has done these things since 1945— superficially slick, well-organized, without too much noise or violence in most cases (until the British have left), but in the end, a complete disaster. It started with Indian Partition in 1947.

The bombings etc carried out by the IRA were terrible. Having said that, they were not a tenth of one percent as deadly or as wounding (in bald numerical terms) as, say, the American bombings of countries such as Iraq in the past 30 years, and even smaller by proportion than the bombings in Germany, Japan, France, Romania etc carried out, mainly, by the British and Americans during the Second World War.

Anyone listening to System/Jew-Zionist-lobby pundits such as Dan Hodges is likely to be disappointed, at least most of the time.

I agree with the above, though. This is not now about a piece of Westminster Bubble theatricality, but about the fact that million upon million British people are now going to suffer terribly simply because stupid Liz Truss and woolly-head Kwarteng have been trying to play a performative game with the future of Britain.

If the last part of that tweet is right, we are well and truly ******…

Even so, need one take seriously most British “security and intelligence” sources? Those people have been wrong most of the time since 1945 (and, indeed, were for much of the 1939-45 period).

Mirabile dictu— I even find myself in agreement with sleazy Bryant this afternoon. Not that one need be a political genius to see the obvious truth of that tweet, of course.

If the Prime Minister (yes, even if it is Liz Truss) commits expressly to something, commits to it in the Chamber of the House of Commons, and in response to a direct question, that’s that…or else.

As I blogged yesterday, if the Triple Lock is not reinstated, then that is effectively the end of the Conservative Party, because the hard core of Con support consists of pensioners. If most of them abstain or vote elsewhere, the Conservative Party might really end up with a national vote of 10%, and that would leave them with 50-100 MPs, quite possibly at the bottom of that range.

The Conservative Party is polling around 20% or so. Take away half or three-quarters of that, and you are left with 5%-10%. Goodnight Vienna.

Exactly.

Lose/lose for the Conservative Party. Election now means about 50 Con Party MPs left (ironically, as blogged yesterday, probably including Liz Truss), but the only alternatives are to keep her as PM until the next general election, which might mean a near-total wipe-out, or to replace her as soon as possible, and then hope that at least a third to a half of the Con Party MPs can be saved, 100-175 of them.

Actually, it’s true: Liz Truss is a fighter, a noisy, aggressive, stupid, pointless woman used to pushing herself to the fore. Trouble is, once the silly bitch has forced herself to the front, there is almost literally nothing in her arsenal (intellectually or otherwise), and that is as true in the House of Commons as it is in any possible nuclear confrontation with Russia.

Will that be the next Liz Truss attempt to channel Thatcher and the Falklands? To try to create a “Falklands Factor” or “Belgrano Moment”? If so, a big mistake, and we may all be the victims of it. Russia is not Argentina, it has many thousands of nuclear weapons, many more advanced than our own few (most newspapers etc say the UK has 30-60, some claim 100).

Yes, it may be that Russia could only land 50 or 100 nuclear weapons on us. Is that OK? Do people think that anything much would be left?

“Stein”? (((J)))? Looks like it…

Liz Truss is, apart from all her other faults, totally in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist and Israel lobby. She “proudly” said as much at the recent Conservative Party Conference, at the fringe event organized by the horrible “Conservative Friends of Israel” [“CFI”].

I posted, yesterday, Peter Oborne’s excellent analysis of the Truss/Kwarteng “government”:

That 9-minute exposition is a must-see.

I noticed that Oborne says that, over the past decade, the Conservative Party has been “captured” by “about four” groups, the primary one being “the super-rich“.

Another, interpenetrating, would be the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby.

I agree. Generally, the aid monies stick to the aid “industry” itself, its executives, to corrupt governments and officials etc. Look at “Save the Children”: millions of pounds wasted on the salaries and expenses of sex pests and rapists such as Brendan Cox, the then husband of assassinated “Labour” MP, Jo Cox. I think that Brendan Cox alone was getting something like £300,000 (maybe £200,000 or so) a year, and he was not even the top boss!

If you want to help the poor of Asia or Africa or elsewhere, 9 times out of 10 your best bet is to just find a family and give money to them. No take-out, no bureaucracy; just a bit of money to help them get on.

There may be circumstances where a large-scale project can have good effects, but that is usually better done on the governmental level.

As for animal charities, better to find one which is directly doing good, such as those supported by the actor Peter Egan [A Perfect Spy etc]: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Egan#Animal_rights_activism.

Cut off all money, arms, and ammunition to the Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Kiev.

Is Harry Cole pushing for war with Russia? Bad idea, if so.

Incidentally, we read that Cole has “the best security and intelligence contacts” of all mainstream journalists in London. Maybe, but how can he check the veracity of what he is being told? What do his contacts want in exchange? What is their agenda?

We are living in unusual times. Historically, more money spent on defence meant more real security for the British people. Now, the reverse is the case. More money spent on defence may mean a greater chance of a nuclear attack on the UK, especially when billions of pounds are wasted on the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, which (((typically))) is alternately wheedling and demanding more from us daily.

At the same time, the Royal Navy cannot or will not even secure our shores from migration-invasion.

Wealthy Jew Peston may think that keeping the Triple Lock is a “car crash“, but Liz Truss and her fellow Con MPs know for certain that they are toast if it goes. I have blogged today and yesterday about it.

It is a simple calculation: with Triple Lock, the pensioners who are the core of Conservative electoral support will stay on board, most of them; without the Triple Lock, over half, maybe three-quarters, of the Conservative vote just evaporates, leaving the Conservative Party in an existential hole.

It may well be that international bankers prefer “austerity” for the British people, while parasites siphon off hundreds of billions, but the British people beg to differ.

When will idiots like Peston start working for the British people, and stop spouting System finance-capital propaganda?

You want to cut spending? Close down 90% of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, none of which are doing anything at all useful now. Also, stop sending money to arms manufacturers and to Kiev.

Interesting analysis

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/19/uk-austerity-voters-brexit-cuts-chaos

 “After weeks of City chaos, and scoldings from Larry Summers and the IMF, even the most liberal and tofu-loving of commentators have bought into a dangerous idea: that you can never buck “the markets”.

Behind this mentality lies a whole mix of things, including the very understandable schadenfreude that comes with watching the Britannia Unchained lot find out that the markets don’t actually love them back. And who wouldn’t find joy in seeing the double-breasted, vacant-eyed, permanently post-prandial beetroots who between them make up the Conservative parliamentary party await an electoral tide that will sweep them out into generational oblivion? But the “markets know best” is not the lesson of the past few weeks, or the pandemic, or the bankers’ bailout before it. And believing so puts you on a collision course with voters.

You can see the result today: the UK is once again in the grip of austerity and anti-democratic politics – when we got into this crisis precisely because of austerity and democratic failure. The vast spending cuts made by George Osborne wrecked our hospitals, our schools and our town halls, and stoked the frustrations that ensured Brexit. I heard it over and over while reporting before the referendum – passersby declaring they were voting out, and citing as their reason nothing to do with Brussels and almost everything to do with the Tories. Their mum’s wait for an operation, their kids’ inability to get a council house, the loss of industry, the black hole left by privatisation: 40 years of bombed-out economics and bullshit politics.

To prove how far we have regressed, the politician who is once again everywhere is Osborne, easily the most ruinous Conservative minister this century. Others might name the layabout liar Boris Johnson or Truss the malfunctioning android, but it was Osborne who robbed Britain of a future. In the 2010s, interest rates hit rock-bottom and markets were practically screaming for governments to spend and invest. The UK could have rethought and rebuilt its post-crash economic model, but he chose to trample on the working poor and to cut, cut, cut. He is a big reason why Tory economics now has only two settings: cutting taxes for the rich, which never produces growth, or pursuing austerity that never brings prosperity.

Even today, Hunt is copying Osborne’s moves, right down to outsourcing politics to the financiers – just look at the newly installed panel of economic advisers, which comprises just two representatives of giant asset managers and two hedge-funders. Yet Jeremy cannot be George, because his role model cut public services so far there is nothing of substance left to take without them falling over. Now inflation is in double digits (unlike the prime minister’s approval ratings), it is devouring every Whitehall budget.

This is the UK’s horrific doom-loop, where voters are told the untenable is inevitable, while the sensibles keep mouthing stupidities and capitalists mirthlessly toast a cadaverous capitalism. Further downstream, surveys suggest over half (54%) of the 4m households on universal credit have gone without food in the last month, sick people in Wales can wait nearly two days inside an ambulance before getting admitted to A&E, and about 100,000 households each month are rolling off their mortgages into financial disaster.

Suella Braverman must be the shortest-serving Home Secretary ever. Like her predecessor, Priti Patel, another one of Indian origin, she talked a good game on migration invasion and immigration generally. Whether she would have been any more effective, I doubt. Anyway, that’s her gone as Home Secretary, gone as part of the Government, but not as MP: she scored over 63% of the vote last time, so has a safe seat even in these times.

[Update, 31 August 2023: In fact, Suella Braverman, having been appointed Home Secretary on 6 October 2022, and having resigned on 19 October 2022, was reappointed by new PM Rishi Sunak only six days later, on 25 October 2022! As of time of writing, she remains, albeit ludicrously, pointlessly, and uselessly, in post. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suella_Braverman.

Meanwhile, the Jew Shapps, the shortest-“serving” Home Secretary in history (6 days), and who has had other jobs since October 2022, has only today [31 August 2023] been appointed (ludicrously), Defence Secretary].

I have tried to cover this issue before on the blog. Not easy, mainly because earnings of barristers in private practice (i.e. not salaried employees working for government or companies) vary widely, indeed wildly. Anything from almost pennies to a million or more a year.

The general public tends to think of barristers averaging at least a couple of hundred thousand a year, but in fact many (especially those doing legally-aided criminal and family law work) are earning well under £100K, and many of those are making below £50K.

Needless to say, the public does not feel very sorry for those earning as much or more than they themselves do, but at the same time, barristers do have many extra expenses, which can take thousands or even tens of thousands off their gross income.

In the end, there has to be an effective court system, and that does mean having at least a corps of advocates, and that composed of at least reasonably proficient persons, which in turn posits the need for adequate remuneration.

I have no real axe to grind here. When I was at the ordinary practising Bar (1992-1996 and then 2002-2008), my work was partly (and after 1996, entirely) non-legally-aided. Also, I am scarcely likely to be overly kind about a profession the regulators of which allowed themselves to be manipulated by Jew-Zionist troublemakers who complained about me on political grounds (long after I ceased actual work as a barrister): see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Ukraine

[Daily Mail map showing apparent state of play as of 10 March 2022]

I do not have comment re. that map specifically, beyond what I wrote yesterday, i.e. that the Russian immediate strategy seems to be to draw a line from Kharkov to Dnipro (former Dnepropetrovsk) and then down to where Russian forces are near Zaporozhye, to defeat all Ukrainian forces east of that line, and to occupy everywhere east of that line.

The Russians are now playing what is called, in chess, a positional game, relying on broad strategy and slow accretions, rather than swift tactics and bold moves.

Ukraine is now, having been for 30 years close to being a “failed state”, a complete shell of a state, at least in the east. The latest statistics show that its economy has collapsed by 50% or more already. It has limited vehicle fuel, and the besieged areas lack not only fuel, but food, ammunition, and even water in some cases.

Russian forces in Ukraine face logistical problems —unsurprising in a country the size of France— but not shortages as such. Time is on the Russian side in that sense. Their forces can be resupplied.

I should think that the Russians will start to target any large Ukrainian troop concentrations, as well as resupply lines, using more powerful missiles launched from inside Russia.
