Amazing clips of film.
Woolwich Crown Court is high-security. Prisoners are brought to court via an underground tunnel from the nearby Belmarsh Prison. I once had a friend at the Bar who, in the 1990s, did quite a lot of “heavy” crime there, crimes such as security-van jobs and the like.
Craig Murray was H.M. Ambassador to Uzbekistan at one time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray, and is now rather dissident.
As previously blogged, the Ukrainian Ambassador whom I accompanied sometime around 1995 to the UK’s biological warfare (etc) centre at Porton Down, Wiltshire, is now the director of a bio-lab in Ukraine: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko.

Well said. Political leadership is not the same as being an Army or Royal Marines officer (you cannot simply command people and events, and decisions have to be more nuanced). As the tweeter says, neither is political leadership similar to being a senior legal figure such as the DPP (you cannot simply lay down rules and regulations and/or threaten to use “the full force of the law” when people do not agree).
Come to that, political leadership is also unalike to being a top-level businessman, as Trump is proving to the world. Not everyone wants to “make a deal“. Some people will not “make a deal” under any circumstances, because they or their group, clan, or people are motivated not by a quantifiable outcome such as profit and loss, but by ideology, or religion, or even a wish for “death or (and/or) glory”. Such people often do not much care if they themselves end up worse off (objectively) without a so-called “deal”.
Talking point
People, years ago, thought that Starmer-stein would be a Prime Minister fairly dull but at least intelligent, reliable, respectful of the idea of “a society under law”, and not likely to go off the rails in any serious way.
Well…people got the dull Prime Minister, but they also got a power-mad former bureaucrat willing to have protesters imprisoned for years for doing such petty crimes or non-crimes such as posting “inflammatory” tweets that few read and by which none were “incited”; same goes for idiotic young or not-young men willing to throw a few plastic wheelie bins towards a line of riot police.
The British people got, not a dull but reliable (and ethical) Prime Minister, but a petty tyrant forcing the entire nation to give large amounts of personal information to Israeli and other companies before being “allowed” to post on, or even use and/or read, Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube etc.
They also got a Prime Minister willing to light Jewish-supremacist candlesticks in the windows of 10, Downing Street and in Trafalgar Square, and one willing to throw away enormous amounts of money “supporting” the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev, while British people struggle without help.
The British people also got a crazed Prime Minister presiding over a migration invasion of enormous proportions, one which he has no plan to stop, and no intention of stopping.

[“Head of the armed forces Sir Richard Knighton today: “We will have to dial back our activities and our exercise and operational activity if the level of resource funding that is available to us does not increase.”
Speaking at the G7 today, Keir Starmer made clear there will be no more money forthcoming.
John Healey’s resignation speech in the Commons later should be box office.”]
Ah, yes…I remember that Knighton person “cosplaying” in camouflage gear in Kiev a year or so ago [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Knighton].
In reality, any money spent on “defence” at present is money totally wasted. There is no threat from Russia or anywhere else to the UK, not in terms of ordinary warfare. The threats are all from the migration invasion or are from within the society— the demographic changes, the exploitative finance-capitalism tearing society apart, and the collapsing fake “democratic” political system.
Britain should not be getting involved in Ukraine, the Middle East, or the Indian Ocean. It is pathetic, anyway, now that our Empire is long-gone, given away by the LabCon traitors now all too ready to wave the flag around to “support” the thuggish and corrupt regime Ukraine, or the appalling Israeli state.
Indicates low enthusiasm for all existing parties. Translates to a Commons with about 284 Reform UK MPs (about 42 short of an overall majority), 93 Cons (weak official Opposition unless they make common cause with Reform, either coalition or other arrangement); Greens 68, LibDems 68, Lab 62, SNP 45 [etc].
That would probably be good for social nationalism. A Reform or Reform/Con government would be a disaster but, as Lenin said “worse will be better“…
Once again, as in all polling for a long time, Starmer would lose his seat on those figures, as would any Labour MP in Makerfield (probably including Burnham, if he wins the upcoming by-election).
Very true, but that is where the vast bulk of the population is.
There may be oblique or indirect ways for people, whether as groups or as individuals (“lone wolves”), to sabotage and rebel.
Again, very true, but “prepping” in the UK is not the same, nor can it be, as prepping in the USA, Canada, Russia etc.

Leaving aside the schools issue, one thing is clear: Labourite drone and careerist Bridget Phillipson knows little or no history, despite her mixed history/languages degree from Oxford.
The Gestapo did not march “hundreds of thousands” (of any types) anywhere. I presume that the idiotic woman is confusing or conflating the Gestapo with the S.S.
The Gestapo was a quite small organization, largely made up of former detectives from the Kripo (criminal police). Its job was to track down spies and saboteurs etc, which it did mainly by sifting through denunciations sent in by citizens.
In fact, 95% of the work of the Gestapo was to examine, then dismiss denunciations made by people either mistakenly or maliciously. There were usually only a few Gestapo officers in even quite sizeable towns.
The Gestapo operated almost invariably in civilian clothes, and did not march columns of prisoners anywhere.
Disappointing but certainly not surprising, these days, to find such ignorance in a woman who not only read History (period studied not known to me), but also is now Secretary of State for Education…
Incidentally, the only non-political jobs that woman ever had prior to getting in on the old MP racket were 2 years as an office worker at her local council, then for about 2 years as manager of a charity founded by her own mother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Phillipson.
Another small settlement (500 inhabitants before the war, and now probably few, certainly not more than 100).
Russia needs a gamechanger. Urgently.
[“Starmer’s turning the UK into an authoritarian dictatorship, where people are too scared to speak out
Its planned social media ban is being sold as child protection. Look closer and it affects every adult too.
To keep under-16s off X, TikTok, YouTube and the rest, everyone has to prove they’re over 16. That means tying your ID to your accounts.
We’ve seen where this leads.
Under the existing Online Safety Act, sites like Imgur and several adult platforms simply blocked all UK users rather than handle the verification.
Civil liberties groups like the Open Rights Group are already warning about who holds that data and how it’s protected.
Set that against a country with a track record of arresting people over online posts, and the worry writes itself.
When your name is attached to everything you say, you start watching what you say.
It’s the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook, the same instinct that kept people quiet under every communist regime of the last century.
Starmer calls it protecting children. Funny how the protection always seems to involve knowing exactly who said what.
And the people who do speak out and stand up, like Tommy Robinson? He was arrested under the Terrorism Act so police could seize his devices and see who he’s been communicating with.
The UK is slipping into tyranny, and the voices that can speak out will soon be silenced.“]
I was tested in the 1980s at 156 or 155 (I forget, but think the former), but of course that was about 40 years ago. In any case, IQ is only one factor of importance. “EQ” is also very significant in terms of how the individual functions in society, for example.
Not as straightforward as often thought. Marilyn Monroe was (apparently) on or above the IQ level of Einstein. In the old phrase, “it makes one think“…
