Having seen what has been happening in Dover and elsewhere, and noted the lame response both of the old System parties and the new quasi-System parties (Reform UK and Restore Britain), it strikes me that all of those parties are vainly struggling to catch up with what has been happening on the ground.
The pace is being set, not by Farage, Lowe, Jenrick etc, and certainly not by Andy “Who-He?” and multikulti Labour (nor by the ridiculous Nigerian woman and her pseudo-Conservative idiots).
The pace is being set by what might be called the militia (albeit an unarmed militia).

Things are getting to the stage where more and more people are waking up to the slide of this country into a dystopian multikulti hell. Those awakening are becoming aware that merely voting a quasi-System Farage or even Lowe into “power” (political prominence, Westminster Bubble nonsense, but not real power) will not save them, because the System is a rigged system.

[“A paramilitary-style group descends on Dover to protect Britain’s borders. They’re doing what the government should be doing, and this will greatly worry the government.
The most basic mandate of government is to protect the population.
Our government only protects itself. Parliament gets security and barriers to stop Islamists. British people get Islamists dumped in their neighbourhoods, with no barriers or guards around their schools and homes.
Our government, the civil service, the BBC, our entire state apparatus – THE BLOB – has been taken over by leftists. They have no interest in protecting the population. They would rather replace it with one that will help “abolish whiteness”, destroy capitalism, break down the nation state and support communism.
The establishment doesn’t fear the political right. It can be subsumed into the blob, as the Conservatives were, and left indistinguishable from Labour.
Any changes a political party wants to make to the country will have to be enacted by the Blob, which will refuse to do it. Remember when Rishi tried to implement the Rwanda plan?
Any insurgent political party can be hobbled with smears and investigations (look at Reform right now).
And the blobs’ foot soldiers will commit political assassinations (Ann Widdecombe) pour encourager les autres.
Not that they need to. The UK’s political right bicker themselves into oblivion.
So, many Brits will be relieved to see organised nationalist groups take undeniable concrete action on the ground. I’m sure that these men will be hunted by the state, and legacy media will smear them as horrible bigots. But numbers such as this, organised like this, can’t be ignored.
After the riots in Ballymena and Dublin (and their success in achieving their aims), I warned that the government was creating a blueprint for British nationalists to follow and paramilitary groups would spring up on the mainland. Here we are.

“A former Labour parliamentary candidate has been jailed for four years after using a fake Oxford degree to land more than a dozen senior NHS roles – before going on sick leave to avoid doing the jobs.
Amran Hussain, 40, was Labour’s candidate for North East Hampshire in the 2015 general election before embarking on an eight-year campaign of fraud that cost the taxpayer £168,000.
Using fake certificates and fictitious references, he fabricated degrees from the universities of Oxford, Harvard and Birkbeck to blag his way into 13 senior NHS roles across the country…
He secured the roles despite barely doing any work, quickly going on sick leave after each appointment and remaining absent until the contract ended or was terminated.
Hussain took an astonishing 1,332 sick days (70 per cent of his days employed) by claiming he had a litany of illnesses, including post Covid-19 syndrome, tiredness, anxiety, depression, low mood, headaches, neck pain, pelvic pain, vertigo, headaches and dizziness and migraines.
His deception finally unravelled in 2021, when Devon Partnership NHS Trust offered him a £90,000-a-year role as deputy chief operating officer and carried out checks on his application – discovering no record of his claimed job at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.“

Judge Hehir also ordered 20 days of rehabilitation activities and 160 hours of unpaid community work, which was reduced as she currently works as a delivery driver.
He told Paiva, who sobbed as sentence was passed: ‘You have come within a hair’s breadth of going down to the cells.”

As I often reiterate (because many people assume, wrongly, that I believe in judicial harshness), I am generally not a “hanger and flogger”, but here we have an example of how things have slid into near-lawlessness.
When I was initially at the English Bar (early 1990s), it was a given that “breach of trust” cases of embezzlement, especially where the sums were substantial, would normally result in incarceration, yet here we have a case involving over half a million pounds, continuing for quite a while (2+ years), and the defrauding of a medical practice but also 8 actual doctors, and the defendant gets a “suspended”…
In fact, the sentence was little more severe than I got in 2024 for publishing the truth on this blog: see
The only aspect more severe is that that embezzler woman will have to pick up litter or do similar work for a few weeks, whereas I was excused any unpaid slave-labour.
My own sentence in 2024 (for telling the truth) was 15 “rehabilitation” “days” (in fact, each “day” was between 20 and 120 minutes, the average being about 30 minutes or so) with a young lady from the Probation Service, and a financial penalty of over £700 (about a third was crowdfunded).
Incidentally, the judge (H.H.J. Hehir) who sentenced the embezzler woman is the same as sentenced satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz in 2019. Over 7 years ago. How time flies! See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-47230443.

Unlike Ann Widdecombe, Toby Young and his Free Speech Union (etc) are fakes. They pretend to favour free speech, but support the liars and perjurers of the Jewish/Israel lobby, particularly the malicious Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

What age a person has to be to do this or that is a matter for discussion, hopefully evidence-based.
The age at which a person can drive a car varies from 14 (supervised) in some states of the USA (I think mainly in the South) and 15 (full licence) in some countries (eg El Salvador), to as high as 23 (in Niger), with the majority of countries deciding on 18. It is 17 in the UK.
The age at which someone can buy an alcoholic drink legally also varies, from no age set at all (in a few countries, mostly African), through 16, 17, or 18 (18 being standard) and on to 21, or even 25 (in one or two countries) and of course, in strictly Islamic societies, total prohibition. In the UK, the age at which someone can buy a drink alone is set at 18, but it is 16 if only wine, beer, cider, perry etc is bought, and if that is both with an adult and as part of a purchase of food.
To intrude a personal note, I recall that, as a child of perhaps 9, and at which time (about 1965) children were not even allowed into pubs, I would sit outside country inns at trestle tables, drinking (weak) lemonade-and-bitter beer shandy bought by my father…I also regularly put on bets in the UK in the early 1970s when I was aged 14+, both at point-to-points and at racecourses (usually Ascot, Windsor, and Newbury; also, occasionally, Cheltenham).
The age of consent to sex varies even more, from (dependent on various conditions) 11 (Nigeria), 12 (Angola, Philippines, Canada, Hungary), 13 (Japan, South Korea, Italy, a number of American —USA— states), 14 (Israel), to the —by far the most common— age of 18, and up to 21 in a few American — USA— states, though I imagine that that latter is honoured more in the breach than the observance (the UK has the relevant age at 16 in most cases).
As to voting in elections, most countries now put the age rubric at 18, the UK having been the first to lower the age from 18 (in 1969; first in actual use in 1970).
I think that there is a valid argument to make the voting age 28, but I doubt that many people will agree with me.

If the suspension of training only applies to “non-essential” exercises, one has to wonder why money was wasted on them in the first place.
Go fight Russia on your own (or, as at present, only online…).
Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia, leaving NATO, certainly not giving arms, ammunition and money to the thug-regime in Kiev, and so acquiring for the British people not only cheap gas and oil from Russia but also a vast market for British goods and services in Russia and the other Russophone countries.
If the Army, Navy, and Air Force were of any real use today, they would be deployed to stop the only real invasion that is happening, or is likely to happen— the migration invasion.

Enjoy Almaty, I found it very easy to walk and felt quite safe everywhere
When I was living in Almaty (1996-1997), it had no metro. A Soviet project of the 1980s, it had been abandoned after the Soviet Union fell apart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almaty_Metro.
Looks quite impressive, and I see that there is a station, called Abay (named after a classical-era Kazakh poet), not too far (just about walking distance) from where I once lived on Prospekt Lenina (now called “Dostyk”, meaning “Friendship” in Kazakh); my building was near the junction with Shevchenko Street:
As for safety, well… I only once had a potentially serious problem (I was able to deal with it), but an American living across the street from me (I did not know him, though) was tortured and murdered in his apartment (the supposed killers were arrested the following day), and when an odd character gave a brief talk on “personal security” at the British Embassy to a small audience of expats, including me, he said that, while all the expats (there were only a few dozen Brits living in the city at the time) assured him how safe the city was, he himself had attended a nightclub or bar the first evening after having arrived from London and, upon exiting, had tripped over a dead body…
I could have told him that I myself always kept a low profile, as far as possible, when living in a foreign city, and always avoided all nightclubs, casinos etc, and most if not all bars unless meeting people known to me. That way, I do not have to trip over dead bodies or, indeed, become one.
I hate noisy nightclubs and bars anyway, and tend to distrust most casinos outside Europe. Also, such places attract criminal elements (and police/security snoopers).

[“Iran is a hard nut for the US because it does not need to win a conventional war. It only needs to make victory too expensive.
It is a large, mountainous country with a population of ~90 million — far harder to invade or occupy than Iraq. Its strategy is attrition: cheap ballistic missiles and one-way drones force the US to spend million-dollar interceptors. The IRGC’s “mosaic” defense is decentralized, so killing leaders does not stop the fight.
The real leverage is the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil normally flows. Iran can disrupt global energy markets with mines, small boats and coastal missiles without matching US air or naval power.
The 2026 war showed the pattern: US and Israeli strikes damaged facilities and killed the supreme leader, but the government survived, reconstituted enough missiles and drones, and used the strait as a bargaining chip.
Sanctions have lasted decades; Iran adapted. Government change or lasting control of the waterway would require costs — troops, munitions, oil shock, regional war — that Washington has so far been unwilling to pay, especially with China as the larger priority.
That is why Iran remains a hard target: not because it is stronger, but because it can outlast the political and economic price of being broken.”]

That Jew is the son of the Israeli Prime Minister of the same name. Remarkable ignorance. The Falklands, whatever one’s views about them, are scarcely “a bunch of rocks“, having an area of 4,700 square miles, about the same size as Devon and Cornwall combined (Israel/Palestine has 8,019 sq. miles).
Incidentally, Israel is no ally of the UK. It sold Exocet missiles to Argentina during the Falklands War, now supports (for its own reasons) Milei, the mentally-unstable clown who presently occupies the office of President of Argentina, and was built partly on Jew-Zionist anti-British terrorism, as evidenced below:

Officers from the Security Bureau of Ukraine (SBU) opened fire against officers from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (GUR). At least 10 officers are receiving treatment for bullet wounds. The conflict is related to SBU arresting Stepan Kaplunov, deputy commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) – a paramilitary special forces unit in GUR consisting of russians fighting for #Ukraine 🇺🇦 The commander of GUR SOF unit “Timur” and the commander of SBU “Alpha” Unit allegedly met and “solved the misunderstanding in relation to the arrest of Kaplunov and agreed on future cooperation. The next morning, SBU officers started arresting unarmed members of GUR. When the GUR officers started resisting, #SBU opened fire – also against unarmed members of #GUR who had “their hands up”.”]

Jason Arday reviewed and approved this student's PhD thesis, which portrays black women taking trips to London and attending potlucks as forms of "marronage"—the historical practice of Africans fleeing enslavement.
[“Jason Arday reviewed and approved this student’s PhD thesis, which portrays black women taking trips to London and attending potlucks as forms of “marronage”—the historical practice of Africans fleeing enslavement. The 70K-word thesis is based on conversations with just 3 black women, which were converted into poems and then, after being infused with the author’s own subjective experiences, analyzed via “Critical Poetic Inquiry.”
The thesis can only be described as a tribute to black women such as herself, channeled through an amalgam of slam poetry and activism. She describes her research project in bizarre terms such as: “a lament, a war cry, a chant and a belly laugh” and “a joyful, painful rupture, a disruption, a deliberate transgression, a riff, and a drum beat… a prayer for all we have lost and for all that we can be.”
She is also openly hostile to academic rigor, quoting other scholars when admitting that her project “does not align with notions of ‘neutral’ research or ‘objective’ researchers.”
Academic standards, such as “marking criteria, rubrics and journal requirements that favour written knowledge over that which is communicated creatively (i.e. through painting or performance)” and also “notions that knowledge must be scientifically tested and proven to meet coloniality’s contorted standards of fact” are deemed by her to be forms of colonial oppression.
This raises the question: Why is Cambridge awarding its highest academic credential to a project whose author openly presents accepted academic standards as oppressive constraints to be undermined and resisted? It’s clear the problem of academic standards at Cambridge wasn’t isolated to the case of Jason Arday, but appears to be a form of systemic rot.
Because the thesis was suddenly embargoed for the next 5 years immediately when the Arday scandal broke, we are legally unable to share it in its entirety. So we have performed a very long and thorough exegesis of it, which you can read at the link below. 🔗https://benryan.substack.com/p/cambridge-says-jason-arday-was-an“]
It is all very well to talk about academic freedom etc, and in general I approve of it, but it is clear that the universities, Cambridge in particular, have become a swamp which must be drained and cleared of trash.
This highlights a very serious problem in higher education brought about via DEI, which is that the damage done by hiring totally unqualified people does not remain isolated.
These people serve on hiring committees, and third-rate academics hire fourth-rate academics.

They also serve on dissertation committees, where they rubber stamp complete ideological nonsense like a PhD theses that converted conversations with 3 black women into poems and anaylzed it via “Critical Poetic Inquiry.”
The rot is so systemic that it can likely only be fixed by tearing up the foundation and starting over. There just aren’t any serious adults in these departments to bring about internal reform. The inmates are running the asylum, as they say.”]
The Ukrainian army lost roughly 1,510 troops in battles with Russian forces in all the frontline areas over the past 24 hours, according to the latest data on the special military operation in Ukraine released by Russia’s Defense Ministry:https://t.co/7qP7HmE5WXpic.twitter.com/JrYTiNBTOD

The Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev has pretty much run out of soldiers (front-line cannon-fodder), so kidnaps men off the street. To be “recruited” and then sent to those crumbling front lines is a near death-sentence, of course. The regime is losing 1,000-2,000 men daily (dead, badly wounded, or captured). More desert, despite the penalties if caught.
The poor bastard “recruited” in the clip shown will probably not survive until this time next year, or even to the end of this year.
“Never say never“, they say, and they are right; “all comes to him who waits“, they say, and they are right. After all these years, I finally hear Diane Abbott say something with which I am in full agreement.
The Holocaust. It is the only specific historical event required by statute in England’s National Curriculum for history (Key Stage 3).
A number of loosely-connected and supposedly “true” events, many of which however never happened at all, and others which did happen but which were hugely exaggerated. Invented and put out as propaganda during or, mostly, after the Second World War; packaged-up and given the capital letter “Holocaust”; given out to as if holy writ to schoolchildren who are specifically told not to question the supposed “historical facts” taught to them.
Many of the said “facts” are not really facts at all, and many of the supposedly “true events” experienced by so-called “survivors” were hoaxes, made up by the supposed “survivors” in an attempt (in many cases, successful initially) to get money or attention, or both. Another motive has often been to encourage support for the post-1948 Israeli state.

Why does it not surprise me that a disgusting vandal, a graffiti “artist”, who has died at 34 of causes not as yet made public (my two main guesses being either from drug overdose, or from suicide because the said “artist” vandal realized that, despite daubing his chosen name everywhere —I see that his real name was something else— he was a nobody) is eulogized by a Jewish scribbler in the Guardian?
As a matter of fact, I myself have never seen his graffiti anywhere.
Graffiti has been around a long time. There are examples from the times of the Romans, and even the ancient Egyptians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti. The degree to which it has been tolerated, historically, is a matter of dispute.
The fact is that modern graffiti can only be described as criminal visual violence, a fact implied by the Guardian’s Jewish scribbler, when, at the end of his little piece, he expresses his liking for the fact that it costs people much money to remove the meaningless scrawls (passing as art, at least to cretins).
The graffiti vandal is seeking to impose his assumed name on the public, to be therefore somehow “known”, a well-known “somebody”. In the end, though, most graffiti “art” is the realm of the untalented, the nobodies.
Incidentally, while I do usually abide by the Latin maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum (“of the dead, nothing but good“), there are —and have to be— exceptions.
The mainstream media outlets are suffused with decadence. They should be purged.
When mainstream people with a platform start promoting the decadent and/or evil, society is sliding (as happened in Russia before the Revolution, incidentally). It has been ever more obvious post-1945 that that is the way America, Britain, indeed the West generally, has been going (and much of the world has followed suit).

[“The now-famous photograph of an SAS operator on January 15, 2019. A single member of the UK’s 22 SAS Regiment moving to respond to a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 Hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya.
He was in the country teaching foreign internal defense to Kenyan special forces when al-Shabaab attackers hit the complex, grenades first, then a suicide vest, then gunfire on the guests inside. There was no time to form a proper team and nothing more than the kit he was already wearing.
He entered the compound alone, balaclava on, a shield badge identifying him as law enforcement to those he passed. He joined Dan Prastalo, a Slovenian with the diplomatic protective services, and the two of them started clearing the office block and car-park buildings floor by floor while the attack was still underway.
The siege lasted more than 12 hours before Kenyan forces declared the site secure. 21 civilians died. For what he did that day he later received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, Britain’s second highest award for gallantry in action. Unusually for a serving SAS soldier, his name eventually became public: Christian Craighead.
One man, on his own, in another country, with no order sending him in and every reason to stay out. He went in anyway.

Medvedev has described the leaders of European countries as sponsors of the Kiev regime’s terrorism amid allegations of Moscow’s involvement in an attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport:https://t.co/XgFizhR6Ttpic.twitter.com/mIS5rENm9R
What goes around comes around. It is basic. If the malicious idiots posing as political leaders in France, the UK, Germany etc keep hitting Russia, using the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev as proxy then, sooner or later, Russia will hit back, either directly or indirectly.
Why is that apparently so hard for some people to understand?
Germany should regard the Leipzig-Halle Airport attack as a kind of “Gypsy’s warning”.

[“Iran has not yet revealed its full military potential.
According to available information, Iran’s military arsenals already include tactical nuclear warheads, and these are not newly developed models. It is claimed that the corresponding systems were developed and produced much earlier.
Iran also possesses particularly powerful non-nuclear missile warheads. One such system has unofficially been dubbed the “Resurrection Bomb.” Its warhead weighs approximately four tons and has a high destructive power.
Previously, the adversary, it is claimed, obtained intelligence about the alleged location of tactical nuclear warheads and struck the corresponding facility. However, the information provided turned out to be incorrect, and the alleged storage facility was not hit.
According to these reports, tactical nuclear warheads are present in significant quantities and are integrated into the country’s existing missile capabilities.
Therefore, the current exchange of missile strikes is seen as only a limited portion of the available capabilities. The main potential may be used in the event of an immediate threat to the existence of the state.
In such a scenario, according to the available data, Iran possesses both particularly powerful missile systems and tactical nuclear warheads. That is why, when it is said that Iran has not yet used its full military potential, this should be taken literally.“]

[“SHOCKING: Katie’s Hopkins news this morning following court case.
This is a lesson for all those attempting to sabotage someone’s career and life.
Katie Hopkins has taken to social media with the following statement.
STATEMENT FROM KATIE HOPKINS
A ‘man’ responsible for pressurising my venues to cancel has been found GUILTY of FOUR counts of blackmail by a jury at Southampton Crown Court.
Blackmail is a serious criminal offence and carries a prison term. Sentencing is on 16 October 2026.
I remind those pressurising venues to cancel performers: this is a criminal act.
I require theatres that were cowed by one criminal, to reinstate my fully sold-out shows.
I thank the Crown Prosecution Service and Dorset Police for being splendid.
And to the jury, God speed in all you do.
STATEMENT ENDS
Having worked with Katie Hopkins I am thrilled that the Jury came to the right decision. She is a warm, kind and superb woman with exceptional talent.
This sets precedent and I encourage anyone facing similar challenges to take action.
Finally, go see her show. Best belly laugh you’ll get!
Justice!“]
Of course, most such “cancelling” or pressuring of venues etc is done by the malicious Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, in particularly the liars and perjurers of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
David Icke, Gilad Atzmon, Alison Chabloz and many others have suffered such attacks.
Even I myself, when I was in my early 20s (late 1970s) and had my own small party.
Yes, that does mean that such Jew-Zionist tactics preceded the establishment of the “CAA”. The Jew-Zionist troublemakers were “at it” even in the 1950s (against Oswald Mosley, Colin Jordan etc) and, indeed, in the 1930s (against Mosley and his BUF and others) and even in the 1920s (in the UK, but also, and more so, in Germany, against the then-small NSDAP led by Adolf Hitler).
Years ago, I described Trump as “a loudly squawking parrot in a gilded cage, and guarded by a phalanx of Jews“, and I have seen little since then that might cause me to revise that view.
If you want to know just how badly the Tories betrayed Britain make sure you read this excellent essay by @SAshworthHayes.

“LONDON, August 29. /TASS/. The number of incidents in which AI agents ignored instructions and lied to users, employing malicious methods to achieve their goals, reached a record high in July, exceeding 330 incidents in a single month, The Guardian reported, citing a study by the UK-based AI Safety Institute (AISI).
The study notes that the number of such incidents nearly doubled compared to the previous month, amid reports of hacking attacks, including those carried out by cutting-edge AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic. Scientists also uncovered a disturbing incident related to an attack on the machine learning platform Hugging Face, in which more than 700 autonomous OpenAI agents, having gone rogue, continued to secretly coordinate their actions in a private messaging app they had created, sending each other messages like “Boom!” and “Whoa!!” when successful attacks on Hugging Face occurred.”

[“I think what’s happened is that, for a variety of reasons, the academy has lost the sense of what it is there for, which is to act as the guardian and proponent of best intellectual practice.
Much of that is because of the Gramscian ‘march through the institutions’ which has taken place over the last 80 years or so, which has had a devastating effect. Importing Marxian and Neo-Marxian dogma into the academy was guaranteed to dumb it down catastrophically and has left us, in the social sciences at least, with a self-marking come-as-you-are party for some of the most illiberal, narcissistic, corrupt perverts and weirdos ever to obtain academic tenure.”]
“A sacked care worker broke into his former patients’ homes to rob them and kicked a blind wheelchair user in spate of robberies days after he lost his job.
Ediongseyene Essien broke into the homes of four elderly and disabled victims the day after he was suspended from work, even smashing down the back door of a petrified couple in their 80s to steal their money. Weeks later, Essien pretended to still be another ex-patient’s carer before kicking him to force his way into the home.
Laura Atherton, prosecuting, said the occupant, a wheelchair user and former patient of the defendant, was in bed when Essien gained entry by using a key stored in a coded safe outside the property. He subsequently took the man’s bank card, which was later used to make a series of purchases at Bargain Booze and L7 Village Market in Fairfield.
Earlier that same day, Essien was said to have called at the home of an 88 year old woman and her 85 year old husband, also a wheelchair user, at around 3pm and let himself in before departing. He returned at 9pm and began “ringing the doorbell and waving through the window” before coming back roughly 20 minutes later, at which point he kicked at the back door until he succeeded in smashing a glass pane.
The female occupant was left screaming for help as a result, with Essien having stolen the man’s wallet, which contained £200, before fleeing. In a statement read to the court on her behalf, she described how the ordeal had “completely devastated their lives”. She added: “We welcomed this man into our house and treated him with nothing but kindness and trust. To have this trust betrayed is heartbreaking.
“The feeling of absolute helplessness in that moment was truly awful. My home, which I loved and cherished, is no longer my safe place. Due to our age, disabilities and severe mobility issues, we are unable to leave the house. We are trapped in the very place this trauma occurred. He robbed an elderly couple of their peace, comfort and safety in their final years.”
Essien was arrested in relation to this series of burglaries before being released on bail, after which he turned up at the home of a blind cerebral palsy sufferer in Edge Hill shortly after 2pm on May 15. Having assumed that someone repeatedly pressing his doorbell was one of his carers, the occupant made his way to his front door in his wheelchair before explaining that he had cancelled his scheduled visits for that day.
Essien insisted he had been “sent to check on” the man and proceeded to force his way inside, kicking the victim out of the way as he did so. He then rushed in and took £90 in cash before fleeing the property.
This victim described in his own statement how he had “not slept properly since” and was now “very nervous and anxious”. With his aunt, whom he had previously lived with for 30 years, having passed away in March of this year, he added: “I just hope he doesn’t get away with it. I’m very wary of new carers. I’m scared he will come back.”
At approximately 5pm the same day, Essien then targeted a “highly vulnerable” woman who was “small in stature” as she made her way home after visiting a nearby shop.
He snatched her handbag, which contained £40 in cash and her bank cards, “forcefully pulling it from her grasp” when she attempted to fend him off with her walking stick.
Her shopping bag was torn during the struggle, sending its contents scattering across the pavement. She told the court in her statement: “I’ve lost any independence I had before. I used to go out to the local shop and attend various community activities.
“As a result of this, I’ve felt very anxious at even the thought of going out on my own. I have to ask staff in my supported accommodation to go out to the shop for me. I’m a very vulnerable person. I feel that the person has seen me as an easy target, which is why he’s attacked me. I fear someone will see me as an easy target again.
Essien admitted two counts of robbery, four of burglary and a charge of fraud. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was seen holding his head in his hands before he was jailed for eight years and handed restraining orders which will ban him from contacting his victims for the next decade.“
[defendant]
A useless and in fact dangerous low-IQ parasite, let into the UK by “dirty democratic politicians”, in Hitler’s well-known description.
The judge was told that, upon serving a third of his sentence, the defendant would probably be deported. Maybe so (I wonder, though), but I say don’t send it back to Africa. Put it up against a wall. In public.
We, the ever-dwindling real people of these islands, have to retake control, whatever it takes.
I wonder what today’s equivalent would be. I certainly doubt that reality has much crept in, reading how the trashier parts of the Press (Daily Express, Daily Mail,Daily Star etc) are enthusiastically advising their (mostly pensioner-) readers about plans to introduce conscription and food rationing by reason of the “Russian threat” (which only exists because UK governments have been provoking Russia since at least 2014 —and, arguably, since 1991).
MAFF was the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food until 2002.
Officialdom , the Westminster monkeyhouse, and the msm in the UK seem to think (or pretend to the public) that fighting a war against Russia (a Russia with ~7,000 nuclear weapons, apart from anything else) and when the UK these days scarcely has an army, navy, or air force, will be a slightly updated version of the Battle of Britain, the Normandy Landings, El Alamein, or even the Western Front circa 1916.
Regular readers of the blog know my views on this: take away Zelensky’s ricebowl, focus on improving relations with Russia, leave NATO, arrange for cost-price gas and maybe oil from Russia, and find in Russia a massive market for UK goods and services (even more so if the EU states and Americans continue to apply punitive sanctions against Russia).
Britain still has a nuclear deterrent with maybe 150 submarine-launched missiles available (altogether), and that (once the Americans are shown the door) can be, for the first time in decades, a truly independent deterrent, akin to the French force de frappe. A backstop. Enough.

One evening in the biting winter cold of 2014, I went down to Maidan with my Ukrainian translator and her mother. It was packed, lively like a festival. "What do you think of all this?" My translator asked me as her mother waved a large Ukrianian flag above her head.

“It won’t end well.” I replied.
After covering Libya, Syria, you get to know the political movements that will only lead a country to ruin. An alliance of foreign money, oligarchs and ultra nationalist extremists was clearly in that bracket.
I asked my translators lovely mother why she supported it. She said something along the lines of “Europe is richer than Russia. And I like going on holiday there.” She had little magnets of the places she’d been to on her fridge. London, Paris, Spain. They were sold a dream of a bright European future.
I was there when a statue of Lenin was pulled down in the late evening. With a truck and some chains. Down it fell and people cheered as it shattered on the ground. I picked up a piece. I think I’ve still got it at home. But most Ukrainians didn’t want their statues pulled down. It wasn’t what it was supposed to be about. Or rather it was. But they didn’t know it.
The East rose. Crimea lost. More statues pulled down. And eight years later, the real slaughter began.
The ukrainians I know have already fled abroad. Those who claim to support Ukraine want them to stay and die.
The dream turned to ashes by the inevitable hammer blow of political reality and great nation politics. People manipulated and left for dead for a misplaced chess move on the geopolitical map.
And those who speak sense are silenced. Sometimes fatally. They’ll silence the wise in order to manipulate the politically illiterate. Then give them flags to wave. And nations fall.
Blame whoever you want. But it’s a hell of tragedy. Other nations beware.”]

NATO lacks strategic thinking, according to statements made in Europe. The organization is not prepared to take responsibility for the inevitable retaliatory strikes by Russia against Ukraine, believes Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeast Norway.
“What is the point of escalating the conflict by striking Russian civilian infrastructure, when Moscow far surpasses Kyiv in terms of air power, and Ukraine does not even have adequate air defense?
