Trump, as President, now needs to stop supporting both the Jewish state (Israel) and the Jewish “state within a state” (the American Jewish lobby).

Until fairly recently, I thought (obviously naively) that fentanyl was merely a horse sedative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanyl

The Palestinians are a kind of orphaned people, thanks to the Jews who stole or robbed them of their land.

“...significant destruction”? I thought that the English were the masters of under-statement…

Interesting to see that the two ethnic/racial groups most pro-Trump are white people (i.e. of European racial heritage) and American Indians (aka Native Americans), the two groups which can now be fairly termed “indigenous”.

Not a new problem, though. I remember well when I returned from Rhodesia in 1977 and took a night job for a month, cleaning the floors at Gatwick Airport. All of the other temporary staff (about a dozen or so of them) were students from Sussex University near Brighton, all of them reading bs subjects such as Sociology. When they discovered that I had been in Rhodesia, the idiots all “sent me to Coventry”— would not speak to me at all, either doing the actual work (pushing large broom-type implements up and down the endless flooring) or in the refreshment area (I sat alone at a table with my machine-dispensed coffee).

Fortunately for those idiots, I have no idea of either their names or their whereabouts. If I did, I might feel that some belated justice might be due.

Sussex University, at least back then, had a problem with pseudo-radical students. I recall meeting some in 1975, while waiting in the very basic ferry passenger departure area at Vlissingen (southern Netherlands). At the time, there was a limited ferry service Vlissingen-Sheerness (Kent).

Later, though, around 1980, I was actually a guest of a student society at Sussex. They were very hospitable.

As for Gatwick Airport, I cannot use the South Terminal (the North Terminal did not exist in 1977) without thinking back to the days, or rather nights, when I cleaned those gleaming floors in the depths of darkness.

I am expecting the Stavka (Russian high command) to order a general advance westward and northward in 2025. If it happens and is successful, Zelensky and his regime will be rolled over.

I happened to see a news item on TV today about tiny children having to be fitted with prosthetic legs because the Israeli Jews have been bombing Gaza for over a year, killing or terribly injuring about 150,000 Gazans, mostly women and children.

As for those Israeli Jew football hooligans in Amsterdam, they thought themselves brave thugs when in a mass, shouting slogans, singing unpleasant songs, and attacking others; when they got it back, they started whining about how they are “victims”; Netanyahu even sent a plane to “rescue” them and take them back to their fake “homeland”. It is all too typical.

Amusing YouTube video

A regular reader of the blog sent me this:

Very amusing.

Ha ha! Hilarious, as are all such people and their (either) soon-to-be-“trumped” triumphalism and/or desperate and crazed outbursts once they realize that not only has their candidate lost, but also that they themselves have become worldwide laughing stocks.

It reminds me of the days, weeks, months after the Brexit Referendum in the UK, when you had hysterical women (almost all the funniest crazed tweets were from women) wailing about how the Brexit vote had “ruined their lives”, prevented them (somehow) from getting a 1970s Martini ad-style beautiful Euro-life, and how, in some cases, their offspring, teenage Josh and Jemima, would now (somehow) never be international lawyers and/or “top models”…

As I say, just hilarious.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/06/german-government-on-brink-of-collapse-after-olaf-scholz-sacks-finance-minister

The German government was left on the brink of collapse after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, unexpectedly sacked his finance minister, plunging Europe’s largest economy into political disarray.

“The situation is serious,” Scholz added. “There is war in Europe, tensions are increasing in the Middle East. At the same time, our economy is stagnating.”

I could suggest something about certain parts of London (mostly North and North-West), but in view of the fact that free speech in the UK is all but dead (by reason of the activities of “a certain tribe”), I think that, today at least, I prefer to keep my views to myself.

Russia only wants Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river) and the coastline across to and including Odessa.

Historically, what is now Western Ukraine (based on Lvov) has made several different rulerships, including both Russia and Austria-Hungary.

While Putin would probably prefer to take all of Ukraine, I think that he would accept a peace agreement with a Lvov-based rump Ukraine willing to be neutral in future. That used to be called, from 1945 to 2023, “Finlandization”, and worked quite well for everyone until, quite recently, the Finnish government went mad and joined NATO.

That is a good thing. America is at its best when it is isolationist.

October Revolution

7 November (in the Gregorian calendar) is the day on which, in the Soviet Union, was set aside to commemorate the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 (old-style, Julian calendar).

There were always parades in Moscow. I recall watching Soviet TV news in the old Channel 4 newsroom (then in the old ITN building in Wells Street, near Oxford Street) as a kind of guest, in 1984.

40 years ago, almost half a lifetime.

I recall it mainly because of the excellent picture quality on the satellite link; also because I had come directly from a tough afternoon taekwando session taught by a candidate-competitor black-belt destined for the 1988 Seoul Olympics (I don’t know whether he eventually went, though).

It was interesting to see people normally seen by me only on TV broadcasts. Peter Sissons, for one [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sissons]. I remember how surprised I was that he seemed rather fat when encountered in person.

When the Bolsheviks seized power from the Kerensky government in 1917, a tide of anger and unrest poured across, first Russia, then the rest of the world.

The history of the 20th Century was, to a large extent, the outcome of the fight against, or for Sovietism. The rise of National Socialism was also, to a large extent, the result of Bolshevism and the struggle to resist it. An Abwehr or “parrying”.

Even after the events of the Second World War, the subsequent “peace” revolved around the need in the West to “parry” Sovietism— the Yalta and other agreements, the Cold War, the “Finlandization” not only of Finland itself but also of Austria and Yugoslavia. The taking out of Central Europe, and the reduction of Europe into East and West.

Of course, Sovietism itself changed too, internally: Bolshevism and Leninism became Stalinism (with Trotskyist offshoots overseas), then post-Stalinist Sovietism under Khrushchev and his successors.

International revolution against finance-capitalist reaction became big-power and then superpower rivalry.

By the time I watched that 1984 TV news broadcast, the Cold War was still going strong, superficially, but the Soviet Union had only 5 years left. (Officially, the Soviet Union lasted until 1991, but it was dead by late 1989). It did not necessarily seem so at the time. The Dzerzhinsky Regiment (MVD troops) led that parade (the bit I saw), and the Soviet power still gave the impression of being fearsome. However, as a character notes in one of my favourite films, The Russia House, adaptation of a John le Carre novel, the Soviet knight was dying inside his armour.

Now we are in a rather different world. Still, after a 1989-2022 gap, the superpower rivalry is again there (if it ever went away), but this time as a conflation of a rump-Sovietism with a Great-Russian nationalism, bumping horns against an expansionist NATO led and ruled over by a USA which is, in effect, NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).

Where now? The front-lines of the conflict are in Ukraine (which the Western power wants to subsume into its sphere of influence) and, to a lesser extent, the Middle East.

Europe needs a new direction. So does Russia. The answer must be a Eurasian ethno-state, Europe joining loosely with Russia against the areas of the world which are comprised of peoples, in very broad terms, now the enemies of positive evolution.

U.S. Presidential Election

Writing before 0500 hrs (“Smersh Never Sleeps“), and with a number of states yet to declare, it is clear nonetheless that Kamala Harris is not going to win. So it is going to be President Trump. Again.

Now let’s stop the wars in Ukraine (number one priority, because of the risk of a general European war, and even a Russia-NATO nuclear war) and in the Middle East.

The Middle East will require both intensive diplomacy and a far stricter attitude towards Israel. No more “tail wags dog”.

As for Ukraine, the war can be stopped by simply taking away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Without Western money, arms, and ammunition, the Kiev regime will grind to a halt within weeks. Just do it.

“Shetland man’s bond with otter becomes subject of award-winning film.

Documentary about Billy Mail’s connection with orphaned pup Molly airs on National Geographic next week.

National Geographic will be streaming a new documentary about an unlikely bond between a man and an otter in Shetland.

Billy Mail met Molly, a starving pup, in 2021 when he saw her jumping off a pontoon into the sea near his Shetland home. Mail wanted to see how close he could get to her before she fled. But it turned out that Molly had no intention of running away.

She was starving and alone, Mail said. “She had a lack of fear that was really interesting because otters are normally pretty scared. I think it was just desperation. She needed food.”

But even after she regained her strength and was fending for herself, Molly kept visiting the Mails and became a “breath of fresh air” in their lives.”

You know how we are always being told how the UK “needs” so-called “high-skilled” non-whites? Well…

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/doctor-headbutted-waiter-after-turning-34035655?int_source=nba

[defendant]

A drunk doctor headbutted a young waiter after he turned up three hours late for his table and was told the restaurant was closed.

Nganjo Endeley grabbed his 21-year-old victim’s shirt so tightly that he struggled to breathe before fracturing his eye socket with a powerful headbutt. Newcastle Crown Court heard the waiter suffered a “huge amount of pain” and has been left with a visible dent to his forehead, which is too risky to operate on.

The 41-year-old married medic, described in court as a “physically imposing man”, was found guilty of assault after a trial but escaped jail after a judge said refences show he behaved “out of character” that night. The court heard the doctor, of Bowburn, County Durham, has a previous conviction for common assault in 2001 and was cautioned for criminal damage in 2007.

Judge Sarah Mallett sentenced Endeley to two years, suspended for two years, with 250 hours unpaid work and an order to pay £2,000 compensation.

[Daily Mirror]

Suspended sentence, and a fine which a doctor can pay easily. The judge said that the violence was “out of character“— how so, when the defendant has 2 previous proven criminal incidents on his record, including one assault?

Lest we forget…

So who’s wrong (yet again), Rory Stewart??

See also:

Rory Stewart [in effect]: “I was wrong but I was really right...”

People such as Rory Stewart can never believe that they are wrong wrong wrong, and that the reason that they are wrong wrong wrong in their predictions about things is because they are wrong wrong wrong ideologically and because they simply do not understand the “ordinary” people anything like as much as they believe they do. Also, they are misled by their own biases.

In short, people such as Rory Stewart, and the (other) msm scribblers and talking heads and System politicos are incapable of thinking objectively. They believe what they want to believe, e.g. re. immigration and/or migration-invasion.

As for Starmer, his weakness in allowing MPs and SpAds to go to the USA to help the Kamala Harris campaign will now lead to some kind of payback from the Trump administration, and no amount of Starmer weaselling will be able to change that.

Eerie, those sirens, and the scuttling crowds. Rather like my occasional bad dreams, but played out in bright sunlight.

The Israeli defences seem to be weakening.

If even Hezbollah, a non-state actor, can attack, successfully, Israel’s main international airport, then what will happen if and when Iran attacks?

Goodnight, Vienna Kamala Harris!

Here we go (as predicted from the start on this blog)…

Historic.

Kamala Harris thus joins the crowd of failed Presidential candidates, such as Dukakis, who become obscure also-rans.

For me, leaving aside the necessity to stop the drift towards a third world war, the best thing about the Trump victory is seeing all the msm scribblers and talking heads look so horrified and astonished. Rory Stewart is the template. At least he had the courage to appear on TV and —at least sort-of— admit that he was wrong. Most will be trying to forget their wrong predictions and expressed wishes.

Look at that self-describing “Dem strategist” aged 27 (and a half?), one Ally Sammarco. Same type that become SpAds in the UK. The British version usually has an Oxford or Cambridge degree (almost all of which are now, purely nominally, “Firsts” or 2:1), probably in some “back of a postcard” subject. No background, no experience, no ability to think outside the box.

Priceless. Look at those faces! Ha ha!

Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell (the latter of which duo should be punished for his crimes against the peoples of Britain, Iraq and other countries).

The people of Britain dodged a bullet when Stewart’s political career crashed and burned. Napoleon always asked of any general, “is he lucky?” If nothing else, and despite his “silver spoon” upbringing and early life, as a political figure Stewart is the opposite of lucky.

I have no idea who “John/@TurnsIntoStone” might be, but glad to see he likes my rather popular assessment of Rory Stewart, which includes many updates (tacked onto it since the original publication in 2019).

Stray thought about Trump

For me, loyalty is key. I am not so sure that Trump thinks the same way.

Were I in Trump’s shoes, my first action as President of the USA would be to pardon all those convicted in Federal courts for actions supporting me [Trump, that is]. Both the Trump partisans as such, and also the more “social-national” prisoners, whether Trump partisans or not.

Pardon them all. They will then follow you to the ends of the Earth.

That little bastard Hague has always been wrong on everything, just everything; which, in the contemporary UK, qualifies him to be regarded, however ludicrously, as an “elder statesman”, as the years pass…

When I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews conspired to get me removed, which did eventually happen, in 2018), I asked Bonnie Greer directly and publicly why she considered herself in any way qualified to have been appointed as Deputy Chairman of the British Museum. She blocked me. She has no academic or other credentials qualifying her to opine on BBC Question Time, yet is asked on over and over again, and was chosen to sit next to Nick Griffin and needle him when he was subjected to a TV lynching in 2009. A favourite System puppet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Greer.

…as, once again, Anna Soubry, former MP for Plymouth and Angostura Broxtowe, falls into a vat of wine.

I presume that what the silly woman means is that the popular vote in a U.S. Presidential Election is a request (by convention binding) on the members of the Electoral College. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College#Faithless_electors.

Were the members of the Electoral College to disregard the popular vote, and install Kamala Harris (which would be extremely unlikely, for reasons covered in that Wikipedia article, which Anna Soubry seems either not to have read, or not to have understood), the result would be a second civil war. Not hyperbole— fact.

I rarely repost tweets from Jewish Zionists but, in the Australian argot, “fair do’s“…

There is a socio-political and cultural sickness in the UK that will have to be mercilessly rooted out, whether you call it “political correctness”, “woke-ism”, or whatever else. Ausrotten!

The “trans” nonsense is but part of all that.

Trump, whatever one thinks of him, is not someone to trust, particularly. The Israelis may think that he loves them. I doubt it.

When? When?

German people (taxpayers) are getting very tired of propping-up the Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Kiev.

The Israelis obviously intend to demolish the whole of Gaza, kill or drive out the Arab population, then resettle Gaza with Jews. A kind of smaller-scale copy of what they did in the 1948 “Nakba“, i.e. ethnic cleansing and theft of land. After that, settlement by Jews.

Southern Lebanon too?

Those tweets refer to this:

As predicted for the past 1-2 years on the blog, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder. Sometime soon, probably in summer 2025, the whole circus will run out of road, the front(s) will collapse, and all of Eastern Ukraine will be abandoned to Russian forces.

I keep seeing stories on msm platforms such as various newspapers, such as Sky News etc, telling of how someone or other (e.g. “young mum with two children“), someone actually British, is homeless, cannot even get secure (if inadequate) temporary accommodation; and that is all very enraging for many (including me).

Few, however, in the msm or in the ranks of the Labour Party pseudo-socialists (or have Labour partisans now given up even pretending to be “socialist” in any real sense?) openly link the housing crisis or homelessness crisis with the migration invasion (not just the “small boats” but the whole invasion). Between half a million and over a million every single year.

Rachel Reeves and the rest of Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel cabal (posing as a legitimate government) want to build hundreds of thousands of hutches on England’s once green and pleasant land. Most will be going to non-whites. Fact. Will any go to the real British homeless? I doubt it. Already, the migrant-invaders (even the “small boat” invaders) are being prioritized before real British people.

Britain needs a social-national revolution.

Stray thoughts about the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

I do not know who will win. At present it looks quite open, though Kamala Harris is, more than Trump, looking like the favourite.

For me, it is almost incredible that anyone could vote for a semi-educated and non-white woman such as Kamala Harris, even as compared to a man such as Donald Trump, with all his flaws.

However, one always has to consider the very low level of education and culture among the vast bulk of Americans. Also, the unbelievably naive and simplistic motivations for voting. I saw some silly old woman on TV news a couple of days ago, seriously (in her own little mind) saying that she had never voted before, but was going to vote for Kamala Harris because…Kamala Harris is a woman. That old woman voter is not alone. There are millions, maybe tens of millions, who will vote for Kamala Harris purely on the basis of her sex.

Likewise, it can be surmised that there are further tens of millions, almost all non-white, who will vote for Kamala Harris because she is non-white. We saw that during the Obama campaign of 2008, in which Obama, despite being half-European by racial background, was always described as “black”; later, too, as “the first black President“, not “the first mixed-race President”…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Early_life_and_career].

So the dice are loaded against Trump, though no doubt some will also vote for Trump because he is a white man. As Jack London said, “I am a socialist, but a white man first“…

I should prefer a Trump win, but mainly, if not entirely, because Trump would, I hope, stop the war in Ukraine by —I hope— cutting off arms, ammunition, money, and intelligence assistance to the Kiev regime.

“Their” true face…and their true nature.

Just as the msm constantly brings up heartrending stories about homeless people, young couples unable to buy a house even with a mortgage (which are often unavailable anyway) without once mentioning the fact that the UK is experiencing a migration-invasion— not just the “small boats”, either. 500,000-1,000,000 a year.

[except for “4 million”, substitute “15-20 million”..]

The UK Government, urged on by Labour and almost all the media, spent £450,000,000,000 on Lockdowns with worse results than Sweden. This could have been invested in :- 18 nuclear power plants OR 60 Aircraft Carriers or 1,285 Hospitals or 15,000 Universities or 15,000 Secondary schools or £793,218 for every teacher in the UK or £73,770 to everyone claiming Universal Credit in the UK £35,714 for every pensioner in the UK.

I could go on, but it is absolutely clear that the lockdown response has totally wrecked this country, and this is before you factor in the cost of living caused by lockdowns.

On top of that, we have a generation of children damaged emotionally, socially, mentally and physically by lockdowns, huge chunks of their lives torn from them, sacrificed on the altar of a nonsensical and unscientific public policy disaster.

We will be paying for this for years, if not decades. The politicians and, their media lackeys, the civil service and the rest of the establishment who pushed for lockdowns need to be held accountable.”

Many, perhaps most, people just prefer, maybe subsconsciously, lies (if easier on the mind) to uncomfortable truths.

For many, it is the same when it comes to mass immigration and/or migration-invasion.

As this blog has said for over 2 years, Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 6/10, as against political journalist John Rentoul’s 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, 8, and 9.

Conservative Party Leadership contest

Ha. I once knew a (real) Nigerian princess, 35-40 years ago. She was a nice woman; unfortunately, she was shot (in Lagos).

Vote for Nigeria, get Nigeria…

So there it is. The “party formerly known as Conservative” now has a Nigerian woman, married to a banker, as its anointed leader. What a farce.

That contest was between a black (Nigerian) woman, a woman who is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, on the one side, and a rather unpleasant and corrupt person, member of Conservative Friends of Israel, and married to an American Jewish woman, on the other.

Who really won that contest? Think about it.

Kemi Badenoch is even less (even notionally) “British” than is the egregious “Boris”-idiot. She was born in London, taken within days back to Nigeria, then brought up there and in the USA before returning to the UK at the age of 16.

Has Britain finally gone mad? The Con Party certainly has. “Goodnight Vienna” to it.

Rachel Reeves

Revealed: Rachel Reeves’s £74k rental income.

Rachel Reeves and her husband are making £74,000 a year in rental income alone, The Telegraph understands.

The Chancellor, who this week hit second home buyers and landlords with a surge in stamp duty costs, is thought to be receiving rent from two properties that adds up to more than £6,000 a month.

It comes after Ms Reeves delivered her first Budget on Wednesday, in which she condemned millions of workers to be poorer by raising National Insurance for their employers.

Landlords and second home owners reacted angrily to Ms Reeves’s maiden Budget, claiming she had put the “final nail in the coffin” for the struggling buy-to-let sector.

Property investors also said she would drive out decent landlords and leave tenants facing higher rents as a result.

The Chancellor, who now lives in Downing Street with her family, lets her former family home – a four-bedroom property in south London – for around £3,200 a month.

While her husband Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, is believed to have let his central London two-bed flat since 2011. It now has a market rental value of nearly £3,000 a month, according to property website Bricks&Logic.

It means the pair, who both have six-figure salaries, make more than four times the average landlord income of £16,500. Their rental income is also twice the average salary of nearly £37,000.

Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty said: “Having just announced a deeply unpopular Budget that has caused mortgages to rise, how does the Chancellor justify the £74,000 rental income of her and her husband’s London properties whilst living rent-free in Downing Street as their mortgages are paid for? It’s no wonder she abstained from the most recent vote on the Renters’ Rights Bill.

Ms Reeves earns around £160,000 for her roles as Chancellor and an MP. It means her household income, combined with her husband’s salary of up to £174,999, is more than £400,000.

Earlier this year, as shadow chancellor, Ms Reeves told GB News that checking her bank statement made her “wince” after she found “the money coming in” was “increasingly short of the money going out”.

The Chancellor bought her family home in 2012 with her husband for £599,950. The two co-own the property, according to the Land Registry. The couple’s detached property – which was bought with a mortgage – consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, according to Rightmove.

Since Ms Reeves bought it, property listing websites estimate it has gained around £349,000 in value – putting its value today at nearly £950,000.

Nine years ago, Ms Reeves had her parliamentary credit card suspended because she owed more than £4,000 in unauthorised payments. The bill was eventually recouped by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Between 2014 and 2022, she also claimed £1,225 on the taxpayer to pay someone else to help file her tax return.

[Daily Telegraph]

Rachel Reeves also has other investments. She is a Grade A moneygrasper; also a member of Labour Friends of Israel and a trustee of the Jew-Zionist Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.

Rachel Reeves and her husband have a joint salary/investment income (including capital growth) of well over a half-million pounds a year, possibly even a million.

Exactly. The same underlying agenda.

Yes, but that is still only 2%-5% of all immigration into the UK in that period; then there are births to non-European mothers within the UK.

Millions; indeed, tens of millions. About 15-20 million in all, so far, since the 1950s.

So it begins…

Who needs them? They have less and less credibility, either as a “royal” family or as individuals.

Inefficient commanders and former ministers must be sent to the front line, and women must be mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army , said the head of the Air Reconnaissance Support Center of the Ukrainian Army Maria Berlinskaya. The mobilization of women is an unpopular but necessary decision, she pointed out and stressed that Ukraine “will have to give up” if the mobilization of women does not take place.”

The Kiev regime will have been toppled, or driven over, by this time next year.

If the (?) 10,000 North Korean troops are kept concentrated in a tight, discrete battle-group, they will be able to punch a hole 20 miles wide in the Kiev-regime lines in the Kursk region and behind that, in the Ukraine region bordering Kursk region. To repair that hole, the Kiev-regime will have to transfer forces from elsewhere, maybe even from the Donetsk/Lugansk front, where Russian forces are still steadily advancing.

“The gangs” are not the problem; the problem is that there are literally tens of millions of migrant-invaders en route to the UK, either “illegally” or “legally”. A million a year. Plus births to already-arrived migrants.

Incidentally, the way the UK’s asylum laws were framed, in totally different conditions decades ago, as late ago as the 1950s, there are, in principle, literally hundreds of millions of blacks and browns who might be able to claim asylum. All they have to do is reach our shores…

Simplistic, of course, but not completely wrong either.

I suppose that GB News means “hanged“, but I have given up expecting basic literacy from the 20-something scribblers who now like to call themselves “journalists”.

The thin end of a very big wedge.

The ones in the crowded zone also forced to endure official “campaigns”, Soviet-style, such as “wear a facemask!

It does occur to me that, with the increasing pressure in the UK on animals, birds, fish, and insects, so many of which are now vulnerable or endangered, one possible answer might be to establish completely rewilded zones, perhaps 5 of them in England, and a smaller number but similar proportion in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

I have not fully thought-out the idea, so these are just stray ideas at present.

Such rewilded zones would go beyond the various existing zone-regimes such as Green Belt, National Park, Site of Special Scientific Interest etc.

The idea would be for such zones to be changed from whatever land use presently exists to a completely wild forest. New building would be banned, and existing housing gradually reduced. There would be no industry and no large-scale agriculture or horticulture.

The above requirements suggest that areas already sparsely-inhabited would be chosen.

As for the size of such rewilded zones, I am thinking in terms of about the same size of circumference as the M25, i.e. the Greater London area. About 5 of those in England, perhaps 2 in Scotland, 1 in Wales and 1 in Northern Ireland.

Traffic would be very restricted over time, roads not open to the public (eventually). The zones to be linked with each other and other countryside areas by the kind of wildlife grid I have proposed over recent years.

Ukraine will never join NATO. If it did, WW3 would be but a step away.

Ukraine has enough soldiers for another 6-12 months of fighting, and then there will be an acute shortage, writes the New York Times, citing the Pentagon.

American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate, because Russia is making steady progress, and the sense of pessimism in Kiev and Washington is growing, the text says.”

A la recherche du temps perdu

I am old enough to remember those little shops. One in particular, in Caversham Heights, near Reading, early 1960s. The sweets were dispensed by the owner, I think an otherwise-retired old fellow, who sold them in small white-paper bags. A wide range, but I either bought small boiled sweets (very small balls of hard candy), or a kind of chewing gum that came with collectable cards depicting (and explaining) battles of the American Civil War of the 1860s. I wanted the cards, not the gum.

Very gory, those cards (as I discovered only when I belatedly read law, 20 years later) were the subject of a legal case (as to whether they counted as “obscene” because of their bloodsoaked content), which case went as high as the House of Lords (House of Lords Judicial Committee, the forerunner of the present UK Supreme Court). That was around 1965, only a couple of years after I used to buy the cards.

I remember that all my friends (who also bought the cards) favoured the Confederate side, but I (alone, I think) favoured the Union. Not sure now, over 60 years later, whether that was because the Union side was more efficient, or more advanced in weaponry, or just because I wanted to go contrary to the views of the mob.

The sweetshop in question was actually made out of the front part of an ordinary late-19thC house, which (I see from Google maps and streetview) has now reverted to being just a house again.

I also remember the little sweetshop because, aged about 7, I sheltered in that tiny shop after I (God knows why, now, but it would have been in self-defence) hit another boy, and then was sought out by the much older, and rather fearsome, brother of the same. In the end, the older boy caught me outside but, after I explained that I had hit his brother in self-defence, he was very reasonable, and let me off. Maybe I had dormant barristerial skills even then (or at least the ability to get out of scrapes)…

Look at what “they” are doing in Gaza, in the West Bank, and elsewhere. “They” always do such things when they have power. That is why “they” must never have power and, whenever they do have power, must be removed from having power.

The state of Britain is so frustrating that it is tempting to shout “Full Communism Now!“, but that, of course, is not the answer. I recall that the Dowager Lady Birdwood opined that I was a “national bolshevik” (when I was aged about 18, around 1975)!

As for Simon Myerson, the vituperative Twitter/X Jew-Zionist, he was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) a few months ago. Unfit to sit in judgment upon anyone.

One major problem that England —and all of the UK— has is the prevalence of box-ticking senior police personnel, all signed up to the “woke”/”antiracism” agenda. Police careerists, often women, who have been on the right courses and to the right seminars, got the right bits of paper, attended such as the “Common Purpose” brainwashing (turning mediocre nobodies into fake and incompetent would-be “leaders”) etc.

The police in the UK need radical reform.

As to the harsh sentencing handed down to those protesters, were I one of those sentenced, I should be asking my solicitors whether there is any scope for appeal on sentence.

The time limits may complicate any application for permission to appeal, but that may not be an insuperable obstacle in these circumstances: https://www.gov.uk/appeal-against-crown-court-verdict.

Maybe such an appeal, if allowed, might only result in a few months being knocked off, but hey!…

If the 10,000 North Koreans are properly armed and equipped, and then unleashed on the battlefield as a discrete battle-group, that battle-group will easily punch a hole in the Kiev-regime front-line. It could be a gamechanger for Putin.

If the experienced Kiev-regime troops sent into both the Kursk region and the Ukrainian region to the west of the border can be captured or killed, the Kiev regime will have to quickly transfer units to that sector of the overall front. That will make the existing Russian advances in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions ever harder to counter; already, the Russians advance steadily in those regions.

Well, no-one could have foreseen that…(in fact, many did…).

I look forward to “developments”.

Presumably, that includes those with mental problems.

Exactly so.

As to the Jew Zelensky, I see only three or four possibilities for him: 1. fall back on Lvov, and try to govern a rump “state” of “Ukraine” from there, a state consisting of the inland areas of Western Ukraine; 2. relocate to Florida, where he owns a villa worth about USD $40M (I read); 3. relocate to somewhere such as Switzerland; 4. flee to Israel.

I posit a different scenario: Russia joins with all of Europe to create a Eurasian ethnostate, a kind of cosmic white-magic Christendom, standing counter to the North Americans, the Islamist and Jewish-Zionist states, and the other non-Europeans.

I admit, though, that there is no immediate sign of such a restructuring.

A year or two ago, the Israeli state and military machine seemed overwhelmingly powerful, but events have changed all that, despite the devastation the Israelis have visited upon the people and infrastructure of Gaza over the past year or so.

The Israelis now fight on several fronts— Gaza, Northern Israel/Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen, as well as in the West Bank territories.

The Israelis are divided internally.

The destruction of the Israeli state in the short-to-medium term now seems unlikely but possible; previously, it seemed completely impossible.

Times past

I do not at all keep up with the changes in the legal landscape, and so it happened that I was surprised yesterday to read that Blackfriars Crown Court closed down in 2019. I appeared there as Counsel a couple of times sometime around 1994.

https://www.ft.com/content/e1118f5d-8333-4261-be24-e8372191953e (worth reading, and with very good illustrations).

[Blackfriars Crown Court, London SE1]

The Financial Times report mentions that 43% of courts in England and Wales were closed to save money, by decision of the government of David Cameron-Levita, after 2010. I was aware of some of them, having myself appeared in them. Ilford County Court, Penzance County Court, Launceston Magistrates’ Court —a court building more like a deserted mausoleum even when I was there, once only, in (?) 2004, on a County Court civil case relocated there from Plymouth County Court for hearing—; Trowbridge County Court. Some other courts too.

I vaguely recall being sent in 1993 to do some trivial criminal matter at Blackfriars Crown Court, a “Mention”, I think (they usually take a matter of minutes, once you are there and being heard).

With typical contemporary stupidity, the new Blackfriars Crown Court had been temporarily designated as “Knightsbridge Crown Court (sitting at Blackfriars Crown Court)“. The brief had been marked simply “In the Knightsbridge Crown Court“. What a wonderful waste of my time…so I initially went to the court I knew as Knightsbridge Crown Court, in Hans Crescent, near Harrods, only to find that that court building was under repair (prior to being sold and repurposed).

Even more stupidly, Blackfriars Crown Court was not in the Blackfriars area on the north bank of the Thames anyway, but down an obscure side street on the south side of the river. Apparently named thus because Blackfriars Road is nearby. What idiots are employed to make such decisions?

Anyway, it seems that, after all the money spent building and equipping the court building, it was used as a trial venue for only 26 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfriars_Crown_Court.

So now there is neither a Knightsbridge Crown Court nor a Blackfriars Crown Court.

The whole set of assumptions there is absolutely cuckoo.

No, the British armed forces would have no chance at all of repelling an invasion from, say, the German armed forces as they were in 1940, or the Soviet armed forces as they were circa 1975. Certainly not from the Chinese armed forces, should they somehow gather in Northern France in 2024.

The elephant in the room here, of course, is that the above scenarii are simply not the case. China has no plan to attack Western Europe (inc. UK), the Soviet Union ceased to exist decades ago, and Russia now not only has no intention or wish to invade the UK, but no capability to do so, looking at its less than impressive performance in Ukraine.

As for Germany, the Germany of today is not that of 1940, has no interest in invading the UK, and its armed forces are a tiny fraction of the size of those commanded by Hitler (who anyway had no serious intention of invading the UK even in 1940).

Neither do France or Spain, or the Netherlands, historical would-be invaders of England, have any interest at all in invading this country.

Who, then, is this Labour Party military genius, warning us about invasion? Oh, it is one John Healey, a one-time scribbler (for a year), disability rights campaigner (for 6 years) and then a campaigner for a trade union, and also a p/t Open University lecturer. No military experience, of course, unless you include his 4 years as Shadow Defence Secretary and now Defence Secretary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Healey; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Healey#Shadow_cabinet.

The only “invasion” happening, which the present government, like the last one, seems powerless to stop, is the worst kind—migration-invasion of the UK by non-Europeans.

Every year, between a half-million and million invaders are arriving in this country: “small boat” illegals, “asylum seekers”, “fiances” and “fiancees”, “work visa holders”, “student visa holders”, “family members” etc. Plus births to non-whites already in the UK.

What is “Field Marshal” (or is that “field mouse”?) Healey going to do about the one invasion that is not only the only one likely to happen, but the only one actually happening? Nothing. Nothing at all.

A man who blinded an acquaintance with a corrosive liquid at an eco-village has been jailed for 15 years.

Jivan Dean, 24, attacked Raven Riley, 21, with sodium hydroxide – an alkaline also known as caustic soda – in a jealous rage after wrongly believing he had contacted his girlfriend.

Dean was seen heating a liquid in a pan on a hob before hurling it in the face of Riley while he was sitting in a chair at a property in Tipi Valley in Carmarthenshire.

Passing sentence at Swansea crown court, Judge Geraint Walters said Dean was dangerous and passed an extended sentence of 15 years in custody with a further four years on licence.”

Such crimes were very rare here until the mass immigration catastrophe happened. In the instant case, the perpetrator is obviously part-Chinese.

The Commonwealth is largely a waste of time and money, and always was. A replacement of lesser binding than the Empire, to some extent a consolation for the Monarch (notably, of course, the late Queen): no longer an Empress or Emperor, but still “Head of the Commonwealth”.

Ukraine may have to give up its territories in order to end the war with Russia, said the candidate for US vice president from the Republican Party, J. D.

They don’t have people, they don’t have weapons, they don’t have money,” Vance added.”

According to what I have seen on Twitter/X, the young activist David R. Morgan (@david_r_morgan on Twitter/X) has been arrested by “anti-terror” police after complaints made by the (((usual))) troublemakers.

While I do not agree with everything he posts (manner rather than substance, though, in most cases), to be arrested merely for (as it seems) having posted some satirical cartoons etc would be yet another ludicrous misuse of police “anti-terror” powers in the UK.

Reminiscent of the persecution of satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz and others in previous years.
