Angela Rayner, of course, has never studied economics (even informally or —it seems—on the most basic level) and therefore, perhaps, should not be expected to understand that fast economic growth is more likely to stimulate inflation than to reduce it. The problem with our system of politics and government is that ignorant people such as Angela Rayner are selected as MPs, notionally “elected”, then spout stupid nonsense, but many potential voters then probably accept that nonsense as “good sense”…

Typical unthinking Brit voter/tweeter wants BBC Radio 4 Today to interview Government ministers who refuse to come onto the show. How would that work?

As I said on yesterday’s blog, an outright embezzler and fraudster. Every bit as bad as “Jack Monroe”.

Twitter polls are worth little, of course, but at least this one has received nearly 11,000 votes. 89.7% think that Russia will win the war, or that there will be no “winner” as such.

Time to take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Our poor and struggling people in Europe, as well as those of the USA, need the money far more.

Hard to believe? Would you have believed it in, say, 2019, if someone had said that, within a year or two, the UK Government would have locked almost the entire population in their homes on pain of arrest and a heavy fine, or would have had anyone going for a ride on a bike, or for a drive, or camping on a deserted Welsh hillside, or sitting alone on a beach, or on a park bench, arrested?

Or that the police would relish their new role as poundland KGB militia, “checking” and “monitoring” the purchases shoppers made at supermarkets to decide whether they were “necessary”? Or harassing, by loudspeakers mounted on aerial drones, elderly couples walking on the hills of the Peak District, instructing them to go home?

Or almost closing down the NHS for real patients with real and serious medical conditions, while pretending to “protect” the UK population from a virus that killed almost no-one who even had it?

Oh, or that new (fake) “Nightingale hospitals” would be set up (to look impressive), but then that few would even be used at all, and that the new “hospitals” would just be dismantled like so much stage scenery (which is what they were) after the play is ended?

Would you have believed, back in 2019, if someone had said that by 2020 or 2021 the Government would unlawfully pass “laws” on the nod, laws and regulations that would force people to line up six feet apart to go into supermarkets (though, ludicrously, not in practice inside the same shops), or that the part-Jew clown posing as Prime Minister would lay down “regulations” making people wear useless cloth facemasks all over the place, and also mandating that no-one should have more than 6 non-resident people in a house at any one time? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? No, just Britain in the years 2020-2022.

A majority of the UK population actually went along with most of that nonsense, partly by reason of a huge barrage of fear-propaganda, partly because the Government sprayed money at people— “furlough” payments, “loans” (grants), and temporary stoppage of the usual stupid DWP harassment of the unemployed, sick, and disabled. In short, the people were bought off, bribed not to protest. “Working from home” was part of that.

Now? The genie is out of the bottle. We see the prospect of ULEZ zones, and “15-minute-cities” that might become, over time, ghettoes or “very open” prisons.

Cars? Well, first they came for the diesel cars and SUVs, then for petrol-driven vehicles, then they made everyone drive electric cars, then those who could not afford ยฃ50,000 for a new electric car or ยฃ20,000 for a used one were forbidden, in effect, from driving. It’s already planned.

What about microchips under the skin? Not yet in place…being talked about, though.

What about people unable to use cash, only cards or, in time, only microchip “cards” under the skin? What if you have the “wrong” views on politics or society? Then your “banking services” will be withdrawn (as has already happened to Nigel Farage, Laura Towler, Mark Collett etc), and you will be, in the future, marginalized or even starved.

Some of the above is still not in place, but for how long?

A good example of the sort of useless non-European parasite promoted by the msm. Again, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

At last some sense on TV…

The absurdity of the UK in 2023 is that you still have large numbers of Twitter-twits and other virtue-signallers desperately bleating about the terrible state of the NHS, schools, roads, rail, pay, State benefits, housing etc, yet at the very same time wanting the country flooded with even more non-white migrant-invaders. They see no connection at all between the lack of services, low pay, lack of affordable housing, and the increase in UK population from about 56 million in the 1970s to about 70 million in 2023.

[Four million?! If only…think fourteen million, or more]

All of that increase has come from mass immigration and births to non-whites. The real English/British population is not increasing; the birth rate is below replacement level, in fact.

The “Jack Monroe” “sock-account”, “Namaste123”, featured in yesterday’s blog, has now gone, deleted by “Jack Monroe” herself.

It becomes pretty clear that the fraudster’s sins have pretty much caught up with her; she has been shot down, and is crashing in flames. All the same, and as of today, 383 utter mugs still send her money every month via Patreon, so she can hardly complain. Maybe ยฃ2,000, maybe ยฃ4,000 (maybe more) per month. In cash. For doing precisely nothing.

It is incredible how many on Twitter (very unrepresentative of the British people, of course) see “grifters” and know-nothings such as “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson, “Supertanskiii”, “Femi” etc as somehow worth supporting (both with words and donations of cash).

If those thousands of naive mugs were typical of the British people, I should despair, but in reality the Twit-universe is a tiny parallel universe. For every pseudo-socialist tweeter supporting the above-named “grifters”, there are perhaps thousands, certainly hundreds of people with very different views (eg about the necessity to stop and reverse the migration-invasion).

Chips with Everything?

Watched a pretty good episode of Endeavour. The only silly thing about it, as with other drama series of recent years set in the 1960s (Inspector George Gently etc) , 1950s and 1940s (Grantchester etc) is the number of blacks and other non-whites shown. People today under the age of about 50 will of course have little notion that what they are being shown is a false picture. Cambridge in 1950, Oxford in 1968, had few black or other non-white individuals, except a few foreign students.

The TV series Vera, very entertaining, and set in contemporary Newcastle on Tyne, yet has the same false narrative running through it. Even today, the North East is a fairly white British region, yet in Vera every second major character is non-white.

Of course, this is no accident. Again, all part of the propaganda barrage around the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Older people see the falsity, but those much under 50, and especially the under-30s, probably have little idea exactly how false is the picture of Britain shown, particularly the Britain of the 1960s etc.

The aim? To normalize a UK society largely non-white.

Incidentally, Endeavour, made 2012-2021 and set in the 1960s and early 1970s, is a prequel to Inspector Morse, made 1987-2000 and set in the 1980s and 1990s.

Tellingly, however, the Oxford of Inspector Morse contains far fewer blacks and browns than that of Endeavour, made later but set 20-30 years before!

“Namaste 123” seems to be the main new “sock account” of “Jack Monroe”, the absurdly-renamed “grifter”/fraudster.

“Namaste 123” is a Twitter account created only in July 2023. Zero Twitter “followers”.

“Jack Monroe” must really be getting desperate…

I read that the “Jack Monroe” event at the Edinburgh Fringe had to be moved from the original 400-seat hall to a smaller hall because so few tickets were sold. 100? As many as 200?

That refers to just one of “Jack Monroe’s” fraudulent claims, years ago in this case, i.e. that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Well-meaning but silly people sent her money on the back of that. Where are the police? Are they too busy snooping on “antisemitic” social media posts, or seizing politically-incorrect teddy bears?

That one refers to yet another “Jack Monroe” lie, that she was “working on” something called the “Vimes Boots Index” to measure the higher inflation rate pertaining to basic or staple items in supermarkets. In reality, that “Index” has never existed except as something she said as part of the overall “Jack Monroe” “poverty” and food “expert” scam.

I have never been sure why quite a few very silly people, in this case one “Kerry Fisher”, like to make up “fantasy Cabinets”, then post their half-baked (“half-baked” being rather appropriate if “Jack Monroe” is involved) musing on Twitter. It must be one of the least interesting or useful ways to use Twitter.

Very true, but both/all System parties are full of wealthy servants of the “Money Power”, so radical solutions are out, at least from them.

Interesting. Unexpected people are now, at least on the face of it, moving slowly towards a social-national direction.

That woman, Hannah Ingram-Moore, is just an outright embezzler and “grifter”, along with her husband. As for “Captain Tom”, he was, in my view, a well-meaning but probably none-too-intelligent dupe of the System. I have no doubt that he meant well but, in the big scheme of things, his fundraising result was tiny when compared to the huge amounts wasted on the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic” by the Government and NHS. He was used by the System for propaganda purposes. People loved the human story, of course. That is why he was so “useful” to the System.

I have blogged in the past about my day out at the UK’s Porton Down biolab complex in Wiltshire, about 28 years ago, escorting the then Ukrainian Ambassador (who is, by the way, now director of a biolab in Ukraine itself).

The System and its entourage of “woke” idiots is very fragile. Even a picture of the cover of a book is enough to trigger a panic.

Unless a nuclear missile lands on Kiev one day.

So the “Conservative” Party has now alienated the” “young” generally (maybe 90% of those under 30), the working families, the unemployed, most voters under 60, both those who support “refugees” incoming and also those who do not want more migrant-invaders, those renting properties because unable to buy, those wanting clean rivers and other environmental improvements, and now those who are sick and/or disabled and who are not already anti-Con.

Many, perhaps most, of those getting disability benefits are over 60, i.e. the only demographic until recently still supporting the Conservative Party.

The trend of things electoral seems to be that the hard core of Conservative Party support for the expected 2024 General Election will be persons over 60 who 1. have no opinion either way about the migration invasion, who 2. are homeowners without any mortgage obligation, who 3. are not short of money, 4. who do not receive any State benefits at all (beyond the State Pension itself), and 5. who do not object to a government (at Cabinet level) largely composed of non-whites.

There is at least a possibility that Sunak will suspend the Triple Lock on State pensions, as he did when Chancellor. As I predicted on the blog at the time, that first decision cut away the bedrock of pensioner electoral support for (and trust in) the Conservative Party; the fall in Con Party fortunes dates from that time a couple of years ago.

I begin to think that Sunak will be lucky to keep even 20% of the popular vote, though I still see Labour as not offering anything much to the British people (and, after all, Starmer’s policies are not, in reality, going to be much different to those of Sunak).

I should think that, despite the fact that the Sunak government is doomed, the next election in terms of seats will be decided by many voters making their decision in the final days of the campaign.

I did not know that he was still around; I recall reading his book, Coup d’Etat, around 1978. Some British Army fellow “borrowed” it, and I was unable to get it back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Luttwak; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_d%27%C3%89tat:_A_Practical_Handbook

It is a notorious fact that armies and states often prepare to fight the last war, the war already fought. In 1939, Poland collapsed within 5 weeks after powerful German forces invaded from the west, indeed from west, north, and south simultaneously on and after 1 September 1939.

The Polish forces were hopelessly outmanouvered and outgunnned. They withdrew to the southeast, only to be outplayed when Soviet forces invaded from the easterly direction on 17 September 1939. Faced with attacks from all sides, the Poles had no choice but to surrender de facto by 6 October 1939, though there never was a formal surrender.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland.

Notoriously, the Poles, in one famous engagement, made a hopeless cavalry charge against the latest German tanks. The Germans were fighting (as it turned out) the Second World War, whereas the Poles were using the tactics not even of the First World War but of the 19th Century.

Scrolling on to 2023, we see the Polish Army more powerful than it has been for centuries, but its strength lies in armour, and in numbers. Second World War strengths. The Russians may or may not be able to equal that, not without general mobilization, but Russia also has well over 6,000 nuclear weapons of various kinds, mostly missiles. Nuclear missiles (etc) against tanks?

The old Soviet Union also had “suitcase bombs”, capable of destroying city centres to a diameter of perhaps two miles. Does Russia have a similar programme now? I do not know, but would not bet against it.

What is disturbing at present is that, even more than in 1939, the war drums are beating far louder than the plaintive cries for peace.

Not just in Poland and Ukraine, but across the world, especially in the USA and UK, and in the EU.

It is a warning, “a shot across the bow”. The fastest, most advanced Russian missiles, with nuclear warheads, cannot be intercepted at present. Stop fuelling the Kiev regime, stop getting entangled in war with Russia.

Jesus Christ! These are invaders, and must be treated as such.

Refer to previous comment.

One sees how, after the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, when dissenting thinkers such as Galileo were accused of heresy, free thinking was thought of as part and parcel of Western civilization— until now.

The attack on free thought, in the contemporary West, started with the Jew-Zionists, and their plan to make examination of modern history, particularly the “holocaust” farrago and mythus and, within that, especially, the whole “gas chambers” fable, something to be treated as if criminal. That repression is now in place in about 20 European states.

Now we see the knock-on consequences: people dissenting from “mainstream” (propaganda) opinion about aspects of “climate change”, or the “Covid” “panicdemic” should be (some say) treated as criminal. The same goes for those who do not agree with mass immigration and the consequent destruction of European life and culture.

At first, I thought that tweeter Professor Cowern might be a parody account, but no! See https://uk.linkedin.com/in/nickcowern. Someone who apparently worked mainly in “modelling”, employed at Harwell and by Philips electronics, his main field(s) being in materials science and semiconductors (i.e. nothing to do with climate), but who now focusses upon and, it seems, obsesses about climate change by reason of human agency.

He was a professor at Newcastle University for only 6 years; now “emeritus”, i.e. retired from academia (aged 70), though was until 2021 running his own (one-man-band) show engaged in modelling climate change etc.

The sort of scientist who flourished under Stalin, denouncing those with contrary opinions.

Yes, thankfully, many people are still willing to stand up for academic and personal freedom of thought and expression.

They are not people with what Professor Cowern calls an (impliedly, improper) “interest” in the same, whereas Professor Cowern was Director of a private “climate change modelling” company set up by himself; NC Tech Insight Ltd.

In fact, it seems that Professor Cowern’s Linked-In profile is not entirely accurate, because, according to Companies House, NC Tech Insight Ltd, having been incorporated in 2014 (with a share capital of ยฃ100 and actual capital/assets — in 2018— of ยฃ83,000), was dissolved in early 2021. It seems that, as far as can be seen on cursory examination, Professor Cowern’s self-promoted expertise is not much in demand: see https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08897617.

More of the “professor’s” words of “wisdom”:

I have to wonder what is the personal provenance of the “professor”…

For a supposed scientist who has (as far as I can see) developed nothing new or at least very interesting in the scientific field, the “professor” is extremely dogmatic and scathing. A Lysenko for our times?

In 1940, Lysenko became director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR‘s Academy of Sciences, and he used his political influence and power to suppress dissenting opinions and discredit, marginalize, and imprison his critics, elevating his anti-Mendelian theories to state-sanctioned doctrine.[4]

Soviet scientists who refused to renounce genetics were dismissed from their posts and left destitute. Hundreds if not thousands of others were imprisoned. Several were sentenced to death as enemies of the state, including the botanist Nikolai Vavilov.[5] Lysenko’s ideas and practices contributed to the famines that killed millions of Soviet people;[5] the adoption of his methods from 1958 in the People’s Republic of China had similarly calamitous results, culminating in the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962.”[5]

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko].

Professor Emeritus Cowern strikes me as a crank, overall, and an unpleasant crank at that. Also, someone with very poor logical skills, looking at his attempts to debate with critics.

Hate speech“? Is “Professor” Cowern (you know who)?

One of the features of Britain over the past few decades has been the over-supply of supposed “professors”. The proliferation of institutions calling themselves “universities” has resulted in an explosion in the numbers of those designated as “professors”. Many are rather poor.

[Update, 7 February 2025: the blog page for 12 August 2023 having had a few hits today, I looked to see what the “Professor” is saying these days. Nothing much. He has performatively left Twitter/X and is now on its new “woke”/joke rival, “Blue Sky Social”. Same obsession, though: https://bsky.app/profile/nickcowern.bsky.social].

Good grief. Everyone should know this.

You can see the way things are going, eg in the car production arena. Firstly, the “Great Reset” demands electric cars because (it is falsely claimed) they are more “green” than existing internal combustion cars. Then existing petrol/diesel cars will be gradually phased out (made more expensive or even illegal). Then, after that, most people will simply be unable to afford to buy or drive electric cars. Car transport will thenceforth largely be available only to the self-styled elites: the wealthy, politicians, bankers etc…

One can see that the transnational conspiracy tries relentlessly to twist or pervert everything in society, and thus it is that, in much of the world, “trans” “women” are given equal designation (or better than) real women, the primitive black cultures and backward “brown” cultures are given equal respect (or better) compared to European/European-derived cultures (which are almost always far more advanced), and disabled athletes, “paralympians”, are (with the best of intentions on the part of many adherents) given equal status with real Olympic athletes, and so on.

Is this terrible fire the result of sabotage? Is it another attempt to “prove” that “global warming” “climate change” via human agency is not a globalist scam?

No wonder you never hear the 1960s, 1950s (and earlier) expostulation “it’s a free country!” any more…

Damn. For the second time recently, political journalist John Rentoul beat my score (which has happened only very rarely over the past several years). This week, he scored 8/10 as against my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 6, and 10.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/11/zelenskiy-sacks-all-military-recruitment-heads-over-frontline-bribes-scandal-ukraine

As not infrequently noted on the blog, Ukraine now has few domestic volunteers willing to go to near-certain death or serious injury at the front. Likewise, few foreign adventurers are now willing to risk it, whether for misguided idealism, for thrills, or for —relatively paltry— money.

Many Ukrainians are trying to evade conscription, and/or to get across the borders of Ukraine (forbidden to most men 18+ in age). Meanwhile, Kiev-regime press-gangs are now scouring the streets trying to find draft-dodgers. The wealthier evaders are willing to pay plenty for an exemption document, which might also allow them to escape the country.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12399127/President-Zelensky-takes-Ukraine-war-Russia-Moscow-Kyiv-engage-tit-tat-drone-missile-strikes.html

Ukraine and Russia have engaged in tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks as their war of attrition intensifies.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is increasingly taking the war to Russia, with fresh strikes on Moscow yesterday.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones damaged government offices in the capital, and on Thursday Russia said it downed two drones headed for Moscow, a day after two others were destroyed on approach. Targets yesterday included the west of the capital near the Karamyshinsky hydroelectric power station.

The attacks led to the closure of airspace over Moscowโ€™s Vnukovo international airport and Kaluga city, 125 miles to the south west.

At least two drones were reported, with one filmed buzzing the Russian capital. A drone was said to have been shot down by Russia. There were also reports of an explosion in Krasnogorsk in north-west Moscow.

[Daily Mail]

Should the Russian leadership so decide, Kiev and all other Ukrainian cities can be razed to the ground, either via nuclear attack or via conventional missiles, bombs etc. That would be a terrible thing, and bitter for both sides, but the Kiev regime is playing with fire.

After the 2020-2022 years of police-state “lockdowns”, stupid “anti-virus” measures such as the facemask nonsense and the ludicrous “Rule of Six”, and the NHS leaving millions to “die on the vine” without medical or dental services, not many will feel sorry for doctors who, even the junior ones, get paid more than most British people. Many of the doctors are also from affluent backgrounds, as is the one featured in that Daily Mail report.

You only have to look at the bitch in question (one Pamela Mattinson, of Bolton, Lancashire): dressed in exercise clothing even at court, and a grandmother at the age of 48 (though looking 70 years old)… a “chavscum” grandmother.

Oh…and of course (needless to add) she has “issues” with alcoholism and her “mental health”…drinking vodka in the middle of the day…

Look at her with (I presume) her equally “chavscum” daughter, smirking on the steps of the court.

Rhetorically, one might ask why her sentence was suspended, but these days, in England, you rarely get a prison sentence unless you murder someone, or publish something that the Jewish lobby does not like.

Britain now has millions of feral and useless persons of that sort. The country needs to be cleansed.

At least the kitten recovered and was rehomed, but the bitch who tried to kill it has not been suitably punished, not at all.

This is not simply a report about an abused kitten, nor even about one wicked woman and her probably-equally-unpleasant family, but also the context of a whole stratum of society that should be straightened out or eliminated.

That first tweeter, “Mariken”, is very typical of many naive “Jack Monroe” supporters. Even after the past year or more of gradually-intensifying exposure of the “grift” and outright fraud by “Jack Monroe” (one or two mild assessments were even published in the Guardian and Daily Mail), “Mariken” obviously has no idea at all. Amusingly, her Twitter profile says “Animal lover. Hate corruption and liars“, yet here she is lauding psycho liar “Jack Monroe”, who also killed at least one or two domestic animals by wilful neglect or worse.

You could hardly make it up— the silly woman thinks that “Jack Monroe” is “a great role model“! What part of constant lying, “grift”, theft, fraud, and the harassment of both critics and disenchanted donors (etc) does “Mariken” fail to understand? Not to mention alcohol and drug abuse, and the profligate spending of other people’s money (etc).

America, “land of freedom”…

Yes. Starmer stands for nothing, basically, except of course being even more of an Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet than (inter alia) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, Liz Truss, or “Boris” idiot. As previously said on the blog, Labour also now stands for absolutely nothing, unless it is the parody “we can run workhouses better” (etc).

As against that, the present “Conservative” government has taken “Boris”-idiot’s “omnishambles” to a whole new level. Even its own MPs are now loud in condemnation of its total incompetence. The Con MPs hoping to stay on as MPs, that is; many others are already in the lifeboats as the Con ship sinks in the opinion polls.

My assessment at present is that there is no enthusiasm for Labour (beyond the usual Twitter drones). Labour is up because the Con Party and its misgovernment are down, purely that.

On the above premises, while the Sunak government is obviously doomed, it may not be quite as doomed as presently appears. If the economy (the real economy, for the average Joe) improves a little, if inflation falls at the same time, i.e. over the next 6-9 months, and if that average Joe, and Josephine, feel apathetic or so-so rather than actually angry about the present government, then they may just stick with Con rather than defect to LibDem or Lab.

If enough of them do that, in marginal seats, then the prospect of a 1997-style Labour landslide (seats, not the popular vote) may just disappear like a mirage. We may then be back in hung Parliament territory.

No mystery. Just part of the implementation of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: ferry blacks and browns etc from Africa and Asia to Europe, get the white Europeans to mix with them, thus over time creating a coffee-coloured population, then that population to be ruled over by Jews and part-Jews (eg Rothschilds, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, David Cameron-Levita, Zac Goldsmith etc, to name but a few).

Do not forget, also, the hundreds of thousands of births to non-whites within the UK over the past year alone.

The West should have left the Soviet Union to reform Afghanistan in and after 1979, but the stupid gung-ho Americans created a proxy war for no good reason.

Later, meaning in the past 20 years, the West could have properly ruled Afghanistan, even if it meant replacing much of the population and/or replacing a backward degenerate culture with a different and better one. Instead, the Americans (mainly the Americans) imposed a mixture of barbarity and weak pseudo-liberalism on the capital and some other places, while allowing most of the country to continue to fester in backwardness.

This was not the intractable problem it is usually presented as. Look at the photographs of Kabul, below, from the 1960s and 1970s:

Every day, taking them in toto, the cross-Channel migration-invasion, other illegal methods of entry, and so-called “legal” migration (eg the non-whites who arrive as “students”, then “knock up” naive/stupid white women and apply to stay on some faked or other “family” basis), add up to maybe 3,000 every single day.

Our society is buckling under the strain already, and also from the weight of the millions of useless parasites of that sort born in the UK since the 1950s, some of whom could be seen executing a “shopping riot” in Oxford Street this week.

As matters now stand, a high proportion of the 8,000,000,000 inhabitants of the Earth are in principle eligible, and will soon be able to come to a European country such as Britain, claim asylum and then either succeed in that claim and stay —with all the consequent costs financial, social, and environmental to the British people— or fail in the claim but still stay, either by launching almost endless appeals or simply by disappearing into the vast reservoirs of non-whites now living in our cities.

If this continues for much longer, European societies will crack and fall to pieces, though not before there are upheavals on a scale not even seen in the 1930s.

Two suspected ringleaders behind a day of chaos on London‘s Oxford Street, where police clashed with youths over fears of TikTok-inspired looting, were arrested last night.

Terrified shoppers were locked inside stores as staff pulled their shutters down yesterday afternoon as groups of youths gathered in the area after rumours on social media that gangs were going to ‘rob JD Sports’ and shoplift.

Shocking videos showed Metropolitan Police officers wielding batons and chasing after people in Europe’s busiest shopping street, with photos earlier in the day appearing to show one cop being punched in the face by a young man. 

Some youths were seen being wrestled away by officers in handcuffs, while others were detained on suspicion of going equipped to steal and breaching dispersal orders.

Police issued 34 dispersal orders, including one to TikTok prankster Mizzy who was seen by police in the area days after failing to appear before magistrates for breaching a court order. He later released a video insisting he was not involved in the disorder on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old, reportedly a doctor who was on holiday in the country with two members of his family, was killed in the Ntlangano Crescent area of Cape Town last Thursday, officials said.

It is believed he had taken a wrong turn from the nearby Cape Town International Airport while driving with two other people when a group approached the vehicle and shot him.”

These days, you hear little about the supposedly wonderful post-apartheid South Africa and its supposed “rainbow nation” (more msm lies, of course).

The proportion of whites in the SA population is now very small, and continues to fall.

[note: whites were 22% of the population in 1911, still 16% in 1980 (the black population having exploded thanks to food and medical services under apartheid…), but now somewhere around 7% or even 6%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_South_Africa#Ethnic_groups].

Astrologers say we all need to be prepared for challenges that will force us to โ€œtake stockโ€ or โ€œreviewโ€ our habits or circumstances โ€“ even if we donโ€™t feel as if we are ready to do so, with the shift in the stars that is set to happen imminently.

Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are the seven planets that will all make a backwards move through the sky in the coming months, something that will affect us all through our astrology charts...

During this small window of intense retrograde action, be on alert for any profound shifts or thought-provoking insights around 4 September 2023.

It would not matter if 99.9% of the world population were to disappear tomorrow, so long as the remaining 0.1% consisted mainly or entirely of (ideally) reasonably cultured and educated white European or European-descended people.

Yes. It’s almost funny that the UK “security and intelligence” bods are still fighting the last war (in their case, the Cold War). They focus on Russian intelligence, or on British people publishing tweets or blogs, and call it “counter-terrorism” (even Alison Chabloz, the satirical singer, was arrested on such a basis, ludicrously); meanwhile about 3,000 non-whites a day invade the UK, hundreds of them in rubber boats across the Channel, the rest via plane, ferry etc. Then there are the births to non-Brits— huge numbers, every single day.

The Kiev-regime police state.

Few are now volunteering for the Kiev-regime army. A death sentence if the recruit is sent (often with little training) to the front. The regime is using press-gangs to force men into the army. Maybe 350,000 have been killed or wounded in the past 17 months, mostly in the past year. Something like 750 a day, on average.

As for dissidents, arrested, mistreated, some even shot. “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) is not the free, principled place the propaganda portrays, but a corrupt, shambolic police-state where dissent is treason.

That latter tweeter is right. Parris, when not in London, does live in such a cottage (in Derbyshire). I see now from Wikipedia that he also has a place in Spain.

Parris himself has really never had a job as such, unless you include his unsuccessful two years as trainee diplomat and his likewise disastrous stint as correspondence secretary to Mrs. Thatcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Parris.

Having said that, Parris often writes uncomfortable truths, but I think not in this case, perhaps because he has never had the experience of doing a “real” job in the real world.

Likewise, as the tweeter below points out, PIP (the successor-benefit to the now-disappearing Disability Living Allowance or DLA) , is not an out-of-work benefit, and is thus disregarded from income for benefit purposes.

Parris thus follows in the footsteps of many scribblers, TV talking heads, and radio presenters, as well as MPs, who talk about State benefits and/or pensions out of ignorance, not knowing the most basic facts.

A one-time, and briefly, “rising star” of the Conservative Party.

Some people are just incredibly fortunate in life. I mean, look at Houchen: born 1986, was a student until about 2008 or 2009, when he became (I think, not sure) a solicitor. He may have worked as a solicitor for a couple of years (again, not sure about that), and his political career to date has consisted of being a local councillor for 5-6 years (2011-2017), then Mayor of Tees Valley (2017-2023 and continuing), and now (thanks to “Boris” Johnson) a member of the House of Lords.

Incidentally, when Houchen was elected in 2017, I tipped him on this blog as someone to watch, having heard him on the radio. I was right, but in more than one way…

So now, in personal financial terms, Houchen is riding high— ยฃ65,000+ as Mayor of Tees Valley, plus expenses —not a fortune but better than poke in eye with sharp stick— and ยฃ350 a day plus extra expenses whenever he turns up (even for half a hour) at the Lords, on any sitting day. So well over ยฃ100,000 a year, perhaps, plus generous expenses. Not bad for someone still only 36, and who has only just about (for ~2 years) done any real/non-political job (as a local solicitor in his native region).

Import into the UK (or the rest of Europe) the various races and groups of Asia, Africa etc, and you import with them their political ethics (or lack of), their moneygrubbing, and the rest of it. Don’t be so surprised, and do not imagine that a few years at Winchester or Eton, or Oxford University, will make much difference.

I also think that new houses ought to have some kind of built in rainwater storage, to be used for gardens or, in extremis, washing and cooking. When I was working and living on a small Caribbean island about 24 years ago, my villa (like most of any size there) was built around a water tank. No mains water where I lived.

All water for bathroom and kitchen came from the tank, and it never ran out (despite rain being rare outside the hurricane season). Drinking water one had to buy. I usually bought filtered and cleaned (via ultraviolet light) Miami tapwater, costing (1999 prices) USD $5 or $6 per U.S. gallon. Sounds expensive (maybe $9 or $10 in 2023 money) but it would last me several days.

While of course prisoners have to be restrained from carrying out vigilante justice, equally naturally they are often disgusted at being forced to live around persons as evil as that. His crimes and, even more so, planned crimes, were appalling.

A mother was left injured in a horrific revenge attack when her lover hired his retired father to help ‘sort her out’ after she refused to have sex with him.

Alex Craig, 36, and his 78-year-old father Francis Craig carried out the attack when Alex dumped Luana Dougherty. Luana’s daughter Carlee, 16, and her boyfriend Finn McBride were also injured.

The court heard [that] Craig snr, a retired builder, arrived at Miss Dougherty’s house on March 19 and went on to threaten Carlee by saying he would kill her as he pulled her hair and threw her to the ground.

Craig jnr then kicked Miss Dougherty, a mother-of-two, twice in her ribs and repeatedly kicked Finn McBride, 16. During the attack, he also threw a bicycle, pool balls, and an electric fan at the teenager.

Miss Dougherty, a community support worker from Cheshire, was left with bruising to her ribs, a cut to her right arm, and a cut to her lip. Carlee suffered a bump to the side of her head and a bloody nose while Finn suffered cuts to his knees, a bite mark under his left arm, and a split lip.

…at Chester Crown Court they admitted affray and were each sentenced to 18 months in jail suspended for 18 months.

[Daily Mirror].

In what world are the above offences suitable for suspended sentences, looking at the deliberate and premeditated assaults, and the injuries? Crazy Britain, 2023.

Of course, routine over-sentencing in other cases is one factor that has led to a shortage of space in the prisons.

There is a sense that this country is not far from “anarchy” or, better put, societal breakdown. The urban jungles are the worst areas, of course.

We are living pretty much on the edge now, to a greater extent than is generally understood.

Incidentally, I have just been reading the memoirs of Gorbachev, which came out in the mid-1990s. He says that, in Stavropol region, southern Russia, of which he was effectively in charge before going to Moscow as a candidate-member of the Politburo in or about 1980 , they had exactly the same problems— petty and not so petty crime, and arguments around sentences, community penalties, and as to whether prison was the right punishment in less serious cases.

Bournemouth

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23694543.letter-the-town-centre-looks-like-wasteland-filthy/

After visiting Bournemouth town centre today, I came away feeling shocked and sad to see what has happened to the town since I last visited and felt the need to vent my frustration.

I consider myself a local despite no longer living in the area.

I am 34 and lived in Christchurch for most of my life.

I loved regular day trips or nights out in Bournemouth.

The town was always so vibrant with lots going on, great shops and restaurants and always felt very safe.

I moved up to Scotland five years ago and have just returned to Bournemouth for a visit.

What the hell has happened to this place? There are barely any shops left, with many boarded up.

The town centre looks like a wasteland and is filthy.

A high proportion of people walking around the town centre seem to have a drink or drugs problem.

Quite frankly there is no centre to visit anymore and the issues with drink and drugs make the place have an unpleasant and uncomfortable atmosphere.

I just donโ€™t understand what this council are doing but it genuinely disgusts and saddens me.

Simply having a nice beach and gardens is not enough of an attraction with such a rundown town at its centre.

Growing up I was always so proud to live in such a beautiful place.

Now I couldnโ€™t be happier that I no longer live here and after my experience this week I doubt I will ever return to the area again.

What a shame.

[extracts from a letter to the Bournemouth Echo newspaper]

Bournemouth is about 17 miles from my present home. I remember, just about, being there (from Berkshire) with my family on occasional days in the early/mid 1960s. My memories were of somewhere safe, white, English, sunny (we visited on odd days in the summer), with clean streets and buildings (mainly hotels and apartment buildings), a beach not too crowded, bright yellow double-decker buses.

I also spent a few days there in the 1980s, as a kind of unofficial add-on to a Soviet dance ensemble (my then girlfriend was interpreting for them); I cannot now recall which dance or ballet group it was, but one of the well-known ones. The hotel was a quite decent 3/4-star place, with an unheated outdoor swimming pool. All the Russians opened their windows and looked out when I jumped in and swam in the cold water at about 8 in the evening, after dark.

I also visited the place another time, also early 1980s, when I and my then girlfriend swam with the ex-wife and children of the poet, Yevtushenko. I blogged about that years ago. The grandmother of those children had a wooden bathing hut on a semi-private beach in a pleasant area of Bournemouth; also a nearby home.

Bournemouth is appalling now. I almost never go there. 20+ years ago, it was still not too bad, though nothing like what it was like in the 1960s anyway. I drove there a few times in 2000.

By 2009, when I had to go there and nearby a few times, the downturn was pretty obvious. Large numbers of foreign persons, mostly non-white. Part of that would be the number of language schools there (genuine or otherwise), and also other higher education institutes attracting foreign students. That is far from being the whole picture, though.

As for drugs, I have never had any connection with them (unless you count the cannabis-smoking bourgeois dropouts etc I knew in the mid-1970s, or the DEA agent to whom I was introduced at the Federal Courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1990, and who showed me the real evidence in a trial that was going on: a sportsbag filled with vacuum-packed cocaine, the packs looking like supermarket coffee packs, but transparent, containing white powder, packed hard). Worth USD $250,000 wholesale, apparently.

However, Bournemouth is apparently now a drugs hotspot.

Sad. Bournemouth is not alone in becoming a dump. Torquay and many other towns, previously rather nice, are no better.

Part of a huge transnational campaign by the forces of evil, the aim being to trash or replace what are sometimes termed “the Good, the Beautiful, and the True”.

Ah. That had puzzled me. Here we have a notably corrupt and shambolic “state”, Ukraine, which for 30+ years has become ever-more corrupt and shambolic. That state has now been invaded, a tenth of its territory occupied, and about 20% of the population has fled to other countries. Industry is largely idle, while agricultural produce cannot be, for the most part, exported. Despite all that, the exchange rate of its currency, the hryvnia, has not dropped through the floor. Why not?

Local MP? Freeloading chancer Jackie Doyle-Price [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Doyle-Price].

Crazy Britain.

Online “grifter”, “Supertanskiii”, who apparently makes some kind of living partly via pretending to be an “anti-Tory” “activist” (i.e. she tweets ranting, repetitive, and boring remarks about “the Tories” several times a day, and is, or so I read, sent money by, I also read, pathetic middle-aged men, mostly), engages in dialogue with someone about better-known “grifter” “Jack Monroe”. Note also how “Supertanskiii” uses that stupid “they” thing when she means “she“.

The conversation was all about how MP Lee Anderson (admittedly not someone of whom I particularly approve) was evil etc when he claimed to be able to make food for 30p (while fraudster “Jack” claims to be able to do the same for 11p). Both totally implausible, in my opinion.

Louise Theroux and Nick Fuentes

Saw a recording of a recent Louis Theroux TV show. His usual modus operandi, i.e. try to appear friendly or at least honestly inquisitive, while plotting how to entrap his interviewers and/or make them look stupid. It often works. The only one of his interviewees (from the relatively few of his shows seen by me) who managed to put Theroux in his place was the late Max Clifford.

This show was about one Nick Fuentes and his followers in the USA. I had heard of Nick Fuentes, but knew little of him.

I have to say that Theroux did not have a difficult task this time. Weird people giggling and making jokes out of serious issues, these Nick Fuentes followers (and the man himself) came across more like silly boys aged about 10 (in most cases) rather than young or youngish men in their twenties and thirties trying to put forward serious points and maybe attain to political leadership.

Not that I disliked or disagreed with all that they said. They seemed to be fairly solid on the “Jewish Question”, though their views were pretty superficial.

Nick Fuentes himself seemed reasonably intelligent, and is plainly making a small fortune out of his activities, but some of his views are just mad, and I have nothing in common with the “nothing is serious”, or “making jokes to make a semi-serious point” tactics he and his followers deploy. I also have nothing in common in terms of lifestyle with these “gamers” and their Call of Duty (etc) interests. I have never played such a game, not even once. There again, I am now 66, twice or even three times the age of these —to me— strange young/youngish men (apparently there are a few women, but not many).

They all expressly disclaimed any connection with, or interest in, National Socialism, or what they termed “white supremacism“, or even “white nationalism“. That rang a couple of alarm bells for me. It occurred to me that Fuentes, and the movement as a whole might be a kind of plant, or at least being loosely manipulated as “controlled opposition”.

Here is a movement of the contemporary computerized era: no ideology to speak of (from what I have seen so far), no real programme, no administrative structure beyond whatever is necessary to publish their views online. A rag-tag bunch of followers, though quite numerous (Fuentes was said to be able to gather a crowd of several thousands at short notice, and in any state of the Union).

I enjoyed seeing the scenes of the U.S. Capitol invaded, but that did not amount to a putsch, even on the slightly comic-opera or tragi-comic level of, say, the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 in Munich, which at least had real aims, real ideology, serious people (Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Ludendorff, Rudolf Hess, Dietrich Eckart etc), and real courage and steel.

The U.S. Capitol “riot”, by contrast— no discipline, no ideology, no real leadership; chaotic, and with nothing to fall back upon afterwards.

Not very impressive (both Fuentes’ movement and Theroux’s show). The nagging thought is in my mind— what interests are served by a phenomenon such as that? It may be little more than a safety-valve for the System.

The VBI” refers to the “Jack Monroe” invention (which does not in fact exist) of a so-called “Vimes’ Boots Index” of inflation monitoring of basic or staple products. Another “Jack Monroe” scam, in short.

Short answer— no. Maybe days later, but only as a useless rubbernecker (who later tried to scam more money using the situation as a painted backdrop).

Tweeter “Birdy Bart”: joined Twitter late June 2023, and only 1 “follower”. The latest “Jack Monroe” “sock account”. Pathetic, but not as pathetic as the 379 utter mugs still each sending the fraudulent “grifter” between ยฃ3.50 and ยฃ44 a month, a total of thousands of pounds a month.

Still, the tide has turned.

Last year, “Jack Monroe” was being chucked money by about 850 mugs (she having been endorsed by Jewish “celebrity” “foodies” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner).

In the latter part of 2022, that ~850 declined to about 400 or so as people started to wake up to the fraudulent and abusive behaviour etc by “Jack Monroe” and her fans; then the number declined further, to 396-397, and stuck there for quite a while, several months. Now— 379. Must still be several thousand a month, though, as noted. Even on the lowest level (ยฃ3.50 each), that is still over ยฃ1,300 in cash, though, every month, and taxfree. At a guess, she must still be pulling in about ยฃ4,000 a month from those mugs.

As I blogged recently, Baddiel is the unthinking man’s Jonathan Miller…

Because most Africans are incapable of organization.

There are other factors, of course: corruption, wars and civil wars and (yes) exploitation by outsiders, but that is last and least.

The blog has had only one or two hits from Burkina Faso in the past years. Maybe it was that President? Who knows?

In the future, say 200 years from now, will 2023 be classed alongside 1941, 1939, and 1914, and will earnest discussion among academics ask “could that war have been prevented?”
