Afternoon music

Nearly a year ago

Was just looking at a blog post from nearly a year ago, which (like most of them, if I say so myself) has held up fairly well, I think.

Britain, 2025

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/03/violent-anti-racism-protester-avoids-jail-attacking-police/

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/25119560.post-southport-protester-caroline-leneghan-escapes-jail/

First (relevant) offence:

A left-wing activist who assaulted a man at an immigration demonstration in the wake of the Southport killings has walked free from court, prompting more accusations of a two-tier justice system.

Caroline Leneghan grabbed an iPhone off of victim Dylan Fontaine and smashed it in the ground during a heated exchange at the event in Bournemouth.

The former NHS nurse then physically lunged at him when he attempted to pick it up.

Based on his appearance, Leneghan yelled out that he was a racist and a fascist, inciting others to ‘swarm’ around him and putting him in fear of being attacked.

In fact Mr Fontaine is a white Muslim convert and was at the demonstration in support of asylum seekers.

Despite this and the fact Leneghan has shown no remorse, she walked free with a six month prison sentence suspended for two years.

District Judge Orla Austin said it was only the fact Leneghan was 20 weeks pregnant that she was not going to jail.

Second (relevant) offence:

“Violent anti-racism protester avoids jail for attacking police.

A Left-wing activist has avoided jail for a second time after attacking a police officer.

Caroline Leneghan, 43, assaulted the female officer while being arrested for being drunk and disorderly at a pub in Pokesdown, Dorset, on Dec 27 last year.

Leneghan previously escaped prison for assaulting a man at a migrant hotel protest.

Poole magistrates’ court heard the police van taking Leneghan to the station after the police officer assault had to stop twice because of her violent outbursts in the back.

At one stage, the former NHS nurse slipped out of her handcuffs and was said to have brandished them at the officer like a weapon before being restrained.

After pleading guilty to assaulting an officer, resisting arrest, and the use of threatening language, Leneghan was fined £80 and ordered to pay £100 compensation to the officer she assaulted.

David Finney, prosecuting, told magistrates: “The defendant is alleged to have run towards a security guard to confront them and was described as shouting and screaming, so she was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and handcuffed.”

He added: “The officer said she feared she was going to be assaulted with the handcuffs.”

Juliet Osborne, mitigating, said Leneghan was pregnant and in a “heightened” state outside the pub as her former partner had been racially abused by a group of men.

She said Leneghan had been in “excruciating” pain as the handcuffs had trapped a nerve on her wrist.

Ms Osborne added: “She has reflected on the incident and expresses remorse and regrets the fact that [the police officer] felt she was in danger. It was not her intention to make her feel that way.”

In April, Leneghan walked free with a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years, convicted of assaulting a man at an immigration demonstration in the wake of the Southport killings.

During the rally in the summer of 2025, Leneghan snatched an iPhone from Dylan Fontaine and smashed it on the ground. Leneghan then lunged at Mr Fontaine when he attempted to pick it up.

Leneghan also accused Mr Fontaine of being a racist and a Fascist, incited others to “swarm” around him, and put him in fear of being attacked.

The 43-year-old denied charges of assault and criminal damage but was found guilty.

District Judge Orla Austin said it was because Leneghan was 20 weeks pregnant that she was not going to jail.

Leneghan was ordered to pay Mr Fontaine £300 compensation, £200 court costs and a victim surcharge of £154.

Leneghan’s suspended sentence came after allegations of “two-tier justice” over the way the authorities handle Left-wing versus Right-wing disorder and protest.

Her sentence for the migrant hotel incident was not taken into account during her trial for the police officer assault, because the offence was committed before her April sentencing.

[Daily Telegraph]

Lucky defendant…

In fact, there are several aspects to those two cases involving one (crazed “pisshead” pseudo-political “activist” woman) defendant that make them interesting from the socio-political and legal points of view.

First of all, look at that defendant (presumably of Irish origin at some point). Thank God she is no longer an NHS nurse. I should be interested to see what other previous convictions she has (which would not have been —considered— “relevant” to sentencing). I would be prepared to bet that there were some.

I note that the defendant’s “previous partner” was (claimed to have been) “racially abused“. So non-white, visibly non-Brit/non-European.

No occupation noted for the defendant, so probably an unemployed single mother of a mixed-race child, with the father not en poste except as a drinking partner…

Poor once-great Britain…

I also note that the defendant was drinking heavily at the time of the second offence, despite being pregnant at the time. Not illegal (though it should be), but it says a lot about her. You can see from the newspaper photos that she is what is often termed a “pisshead”, probably without the willpower or inclination to stop drinking during her pregnancy.

Fortunately for her, I was not the sentencing “judge” (magistrate).

[me as London barrister, circa 1992/1993, and looking serious for some reason unknown]

Many, commenting on that defendant’s first conviction, have noted that Lucy Connolly was sentenced last year to over 2 and a half years in prison merely for having tweeted (or similar) that places housing migrant-invaders should be burned to the ground, or that she did not care if that were to happen. Lucy Connolly has two young (white British) daughters, and a husband with serious health problems.

Incidentally, I notice that the district judge who initially sentenced that “antifa” crazie at Poole has an Irish first name, though I doubt that that is relevant.

I myself was quite wrongly tried and convicted (2023) and sentenced (2024) for having allegedly posted a few comments and cartoons online criticizing or mocking (mainly) Jew-Zionists, corrupt MPs, and Israel:

As regular readers will know, I long ago also wrote a blog piece about the link between the “antifa” element, “anti-racism”, and mental illness, as well as the frequently-seen links to Jew-Zionist fanaticism:

It also occurs to me that, once again, a woman police officer was found not to have the strength or controlled aggression necessary in dealing with a very violent offender.

At first, people will turn to the electoral system, initially to Reform UK. At first…

Starmer is not only in the wrong job but also strikes me as being an idiot, certainly in terms of geopolitics. Actually, he seems at sea in the legal milieu too. A rather nasty box-ticking file clerk type, given unmerited power for a short time. An Israel/Jewish-lobby puppet, with a Jewish wife, and children being brought up as if fully-Jewish.

Looking at the uselessness of the British police in most circumstances, those prisoners must be the stupid ones…

[“Trump should not prolong the war in Ukraine just to spite Putin The conflict is a tragedy, but further American intervention will only delay the inevitable” The American publication The American Conservative reports that Russia’s victory in Ukraine is a matter of time and that Trump should stop dragging out this process. The article notes that Russia has “sufficient military superiority to achieve its main objectives,” while Ukraine’s hopes of regaining lost territories are described as nothing more than “fantasies” without a “realistic scenario” for success.“]

Russia can and should continue its advance until all Ukraine east of the Dnieper is under Russian rule. Kiev and Odessa should be “free cities” not under direct Russian/Ukrainian rule. Western Ukraine, except for the Black Sea/Sea of Azov littoral and Crimea, can then be an independent but neutral Ukrainian state centred on Lvov.

Even the anti-Russia UK/US msm have given up their former fantasies about Kiev-regime forces advancing on major Russian cities, and even on Moscow and Petersburg. Now, they limit themselves to pretending to think that Russian forces will not make “much” more progress, and that the Russian economy will “collapse”, or a popular uprising unseat Putin.

In reality, the Russian economy is doing at least as well as the EU and UK economies, and Putin, while flawed, is still far more popular in Russia than Starmer-stein is in the UK, or Macron in France, or Merz in Germany, let alone that evil little sprite, Ursula von der Leyen.

The reality behind the proscription is that the Jew-Zionist lobby in the UK wants to ban everything and everyone they perceive as hostile to Jewish or Israeli power and influence. It has nothing to do with real “terrorism” or the like.

People are waking up to “them” now, though.

Wall. Squad. End.

So much for “free speech” in a so-called (once-called) “free country”…

In reality, even were it thought to be necessary (I say not) or appropriate to send that lady to prison for her arguably inflammatory words on social media, 3 months would have been enough, and more than enough, to send a message to her and others. She was sentenced, on 17 October 2025, to 31 months, of which 40%, or about 12 months, will be spent in prison.

If memory serves, Lucy Connolly spent over a month in prison on remand before sentencing (it will be recalled that “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer-stein interfered with the handling of all those post-“riot” cases) , so that month or six weeks will be discounted anyway. On that basis, Lucy Connolly would have been released by some date in September 2025 anyway, even without having appealed on sentence (she could not have appealed the conviction as such, she having pleaded guilty).

As it is, at time of writing it appears that the Court of Appeal justices have reserved judgment.

I think that Katie Hopkins is right about the reasons for that; see

Of course, I do not agree with Katie Hopkins’ lauding (in her tweet video) of stupid pro-Jewish-lobby scribbler Allison Pearson and the hypocritical “Free Speech Union” of Toby Young (also completely under the spell of the worst parts of the Jewish/Israel lobby). I have blogged about all of that on previous occasions.

We should know by Monday whether Lucy Connolly will be released soon. I expect she will be, with or without some face-saving slight delay.

Of course, what makes the Lucy Connolly sentence egregiously harsh is not even the 31 months itself (very harsh though that was, especially on a —possibly misguided— guilty plea; a mother of young children with no previous convictions, wife of an unwell husband etc; and because her swiftly-deleted tweet in fact resulted in no actual real-world riotous effects); but also the societal background.

A cursory look at the newspapers will show endless cases of (real) violence, of theft (often considerable in quantum) etc, in which cases the defendants (usually with previous convictions) have been given non-custodial sentences, or immediate prison sentences but far shorter than that visited upon Lucy Connolly.

The perceived helplessness of Lucy Connolly (a childminder, with her own young children, and who cried during her court appearances) makes her treatment all the more infuriating. It is as if (?) she has been made a deliberately-chosen sacrificial victim.

That little twerp, Sebastian Payne, a failed Conservative Party candidate (he applied for several candidatures for Westminster seats during 2022-2024 but was never selected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Payne) evidently thinks that the Con Party still has a run in it, and that, if the Nigerian woman now “leading” it will pledge to leave the ECHR regime, the Con Party will rise again.

It is sad, in a way, that the Westminster Bubble people, such as Payne, seem to genuinely believe that the ECHR issue is, firstly, of huge importance, and secondly, that it resonates with the Average Joe voter.

Just taking the second point, the idea that the average voter really cares about the ECHR, whatever its effect on deportations etc, is ludicrous. Most people do not know what it is, and that will not change however often some black woman posing as “Conservative” leader pushes it on TV.

Why is GB News even allowing that woman to spout rubbish, and why do they allow her to describe herself as “Dr” and so to pose as some kind of “expert”?

Helen Webberly and her husband, a struck-off medic, founded the misleadingly-named “GenderGP” in 2015 in Singapore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenderGP. A fraudulent and money-making entity.

Helen Webberley was suspended from practice by the GMC in the UK. Her husband, a retired gastroenterologist (i.e. not a specialist in the “trans”/sex/”gender” field) took over the business (for such it is), but was himself then suspended from practice, later being struck off the medical register.

Though Helen Webberley’s suspension from practice was lifted in 2023, her licence to practise was revoked in 2024.

I have always been wary of medics who prefer to be politicians, political activists etc (a few examples being Armand Hammer, Hastings Banda, Papa Doc Duvalier, David Owen, Che Guevara, Radovan Karadzic, Bashar al-Assad), and the same goes for medics who become money-grasping quasi-medical “activists” and business chancers (cf. Julia Grace Patterson, the British “Covid” fanatic, pseudo-champion of the NHS, and facemask seller).

Whatever one may think of “Tommy Robinson” (and I myself consider him to be part of the “controlled opposition”, a kind of “Father Gapon” figure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon), he has, and makes, some good points. The above is one of them— a man of 61 chucked into one of England’s crumbling, dystopian prisons, and for doing almost nothing. Sub-Stalinist Britain.

There are several “groups” in the UK who must be eliminated. Let’s just leave it at that for the moment.

Simplistic, maybe, but correct in broad terms. Starmer, the Jewish-lobby puppet who went down on his knees for the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense (alongside thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner).

Even leaving aside the “political crime” aspects, sentencing in this country is, ever-more obviously, “up the creek”.

Just yesterday, I read the account of the sentencing of a young woman who, incensed at the behaviour of a policewoman who had had an affair with her (the defendant’s) father, posted “revenge porn” of the policewoman all over the Internet, as well as abusing her: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13986469/Husband-police-officer-affair-sex-photos-revenge-wife.html

That was, of course, a very wrong thing to have done. It certainly deserved punishment, and quite likely a prison term, but the length of the term imposed is what struck me— 3 years!

Admittedly, as things are, that means that the convicted defendant will serve “only” about 13-14 months, but surely, in all the circumstances, a 20-month term or even a 10-month term would have been sufficient (meaning that the defendant would serve 8 or 4 months). Still unpleasant for her, and still sending a message to others etc.

There is routine over-sentencing in this country, but that is, I concede, combined with under-sentencing for many others, e.g. some people who attack others violently, yet get suspended sentences.

I might add a few well-chosen words, but anything I might say would probably result (via “the usual suspects”) in the poundshop Stasi “thought police” being a nuisance and an inconvenience, and boring me at my door (yet again)…

diversity is our strength!”…oh, no, wait…

Talking points, and thoughts out of season

It is, arguably, human nature to want to see one’s enemies eliminated. For example, if one has been harassed by some malicious nuisances for years, and they all, or some of them, start to “snuff it”, one tends to feel happy.

Now, we all know, in theory at least, that all human individual lives are limited in duration. A year, 10 years, 50 years, the “Biblical” 70 years or, in a relatively few cases, 100 years. We know that we ourselves are “in the same condemnation” as the Revelation of St. John the Divine puts it (if I recall aright). Yet we are pleased that our persecutors and other enemies die before we ourselves do.

I suppose that many will say that that is wrongheaded, but it is, au fond, human. After all, those who kill on the battlefield are trying, putting it in the most basic terms, to kill the enemy and also to avoid being killed by the enemy; that despite the fact that those adherent to both sides in a battle will die, if not on the day of battle, then the next day, the next month, the next year, or in x-years’ time.

Arjuna was advised by Krishna, on the eve of battle, and when Arjuna was having conscience-stricken thoughts, that he (Arjuna) must not avoid doing his duty on the field of Kurukshetra. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita.

Evolution requires that we do what is necessary to further, or to fulfil, it.

[statuary group at Stalingrad, 1943]

Thoughts about “two-tier Keir”, two-tier “justice” etc

I often look at local newspapers online. Sometimes, you can get a better idea of where UK society is from those sources than you do from the national Press.

I just saw a few reports in the local Press, from several places in the south of England, which must surely stagger anyone who has observed the almost Stalinist sentences recently handed down to those who have been involved directly or indirectly in the recent protests or so-called “riots”.

Example: a mixed-race individual described as “a powerful thug” lost his jacket in a bar. He demanded that the barman find it. He then punched the barman and, despite other staff intervening, did so again. Door staff detained him after a struggle, the police arrived, and he then punched a policeman in the face. Previous offences of violence. Result? Non-custodial sentence.

Another example? “Traveller” (Irish tinker/”gypsy”) took police on a high-speed chase in a van. Much damage done, and some injury to members of the public. Tried to run off after he crashed. Uninsured. No driving licence. Multiple previous convictions. Result? Non-custodial sentence.

The recent sentencing for “political” or quasi-political “crimes” has mostly been a disgrace, and has actually shown up the System politicians, notably “two-tier” Keir, as being not strong (as they try to project) but fearful, and the System itself as brittle, without much resilience.

Incidentally, I was just thinking about that time, related in the New Testament, when Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the Jew moneychangers and did other “rebellious” actions, and scourged the moneychangers (at least symbolically):

In the narrative, Jesus is stated to have visited the Temple in Jerusalem, where the courtyard was described as being filled with livestock, merchants, and the tables of the money changers, who changed the standard Greek and Roman money for Jewish and Tyrian shekels.[6] Jerusalem was packed with Jews who had come for Passover, perhaps numbering 300,000 to 400,000 pilgrims.[7][8]

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.

— John 2:15–16, King James Version[9]

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

— Matthew 21:12–13, King James Version[10]

[Wikipedia]

Now obviously the motivation of Jesus Christ was not the same as those “rioting” or protesting in the UK recently, but it could yet be described as “ideological” and/or “rebellious”, and certainly His actions were not that different from those of some of the recent defendants sentenced to imprisonment for having shouted insulting words, overturned cars, assaulted policemen and others etc.

Admittedly, one cannot imagine Jesus Christ looting a sausage-roll shop…

Worth thinking about, anyway.

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

I nearly forgot to add that the said “tinker”, mentioned above, was sentenced to a non-custodial sentence partly because “he had to support” (I wonder how, exactly?) no less than 7 children, with another expected shortly.

Meanwhile, every single year, many millions more “migrants” (migrant-invaders) flood into Europe. A million or so or them end up invading Britain (whether as “legals” or “illegals”, often posing as permitted entrants (“fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, workers with work visas, “tourists” etc). Many just disappear into “the community” once here.

That Usherwood individual, formerly Political Editor at LBC radio (owned by Jewish Zionists) seems to have been tied up with the noisier parts of the Jew-Zionist lobby, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]. He has an agenda, in my opinion.

At time of blogging, the situation remains unclear.

So looks as though the attack failed. This time.

I have been reading The View from the Foothills: the Diaries of Chris Mullins [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Mullin_(politician)], published in 2009.

In an entry from a date in 2000, Mullins (appointed a junior minister under Blair) notes that one major problem with housing provision is that “most of the private rental housing has been soaked up by asylum seekers“.

In 2000! 24 years ago!

Some political nitwits, though, still do not seem to understand the basic facts, as seen with former MP, Sajid Javid:

[“4 million“? Make that 14 million and more!]

Not entirely accurate, though not completely wrong either.

National identities across Europe developed, out of existing identities, in the earliest years of the 5th Post-Atlantean Age, that is, roughly, from 1400 AD.

Prior to that, someone might hold feudal power in more than one part of Europe, as the Plantagenet kings held sway in both England and parts of France.

The Renaissance recapitulated in a new way the 4th Post-Atantean Age (the Greco-Roman), and that 5th Age was at its beginning then. Joan of Arc was one major manifestation.

Once national identity strengthened, feudalism, with its system of fealty crossing other boundaries, waned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fealty.

In England, the influences of the new form of identity, national identity stricto sensu, slowly developed from that time. The Renaissance was slightly delayed in coming to England, having originated in Italy. Later, in the Tudor period (i.e. from 1485), a greater sense of national identity grew, but the same or similar was happening all over Europe, and had already started to happen in Switzerland, particularly.

So Caroline Lucas, though wrong in the specifics (the Tudors did not “invent” English national identity), is not totally wrong inasmuch as that identity, as we now understand it, was to a large extent initially the product of the Tudor period.

Amazing story.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11638389/Half-universities-peddle-woke-agenda-students.html.

UK universities need a chistka (purge).

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/shepherds-bush-pub-assault-james-stephenson-leg-broken-b1052834.html

Another example of how public services in the UK just do not work any more. The victim of a bad assault, a woman, had to lie under blankets outside a pub for 2 hours, waiting for an ambulance that never turned up. Eventually, she had to take an Uber minicab to hospital.

Adding insult to injury, the police, until pressed, did not bother to gather easily-available cctv evidence.

Finally, the defendant (finally caught after the police had been pressured to actually do their job) was let off with a suspended sentence (albeit with a stiff financial penalty by way of compensation for the victim).

There was reasonable mitigation, yes, but the crime was both violent and unpleasant in itself and, also, the victim was left with continuing —and quite possibly permanent— disabilities and pain caused directly or proximately by the actions of the defendant.

If this continues, UK society will become a jungle.

Jack Monroe

Those who follow the “Jack Monroe” saga have noticed that she never, or at least rarely, admits to having bought expensive items for herself out of the monies she has available to her from several sources; she always either “finds” them, remarkably, or buys them for a song (for a tenth or less of the normal price), or is “given” them by friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, or strangers, or has acquired them via “exchange” for unspecified “services“.

As for her having been “in full time work for the best part of 2 decades“, that seems unlikely, but is a question of definition.

“Two decades” brings us back to early 2003. At that time, “Jack Monroe was 14 years old. She left school at 16 (~2005), working in a chip shop and a Starbucks before joining the fire brigade in Essex in 2007 as a call handler. She left in 2011, and was thereafter, for ~18 months, “on the dole”.

“Jack Monroe” worked for her local newspaper in 2012-2013, and also blogged, after which she got a book deal worth, I read, £25,000, with Penguin: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Monroe.

So there we have 7-8 years of intermittent paid work, not quite the 10+ years she claims.

Since 2013, “Jack Monroe” has been (it seems) mostly or completely self-employed, as scribbler, blogger, TV talking head etc. To what extent that counts as “full-time work” is an open question; if yes, then the total is about 17 years; if not, about 7 or so, as said.

As previously noted, Jack Monroe both claims poverty, and so asks for the public to send her money, but also says sometimes that she was in poverty (while on State benefits for 1-2 years), but not now.

Since about 2013, “Jack Monroe” has been in receipt of monies from a number of sources: TV and radio appearances, Press interviews, about £100,000 royalties from her several books (most still in print, I think), deals with ASDA and other supermarkets, and substantial donations (eg from 634 —at time of writing— very misguided people sending her £3.50-£44 each, monthly, via Patreon),

It is claimed by some on Twitter that “Jack Monroe” is “downsizing” (as she puts it) not because she cannot afford the c.£4,000 a month rent and other expenses of her present home but because she is buying a new but possibly smaller home; some say paying the full price in cash. I have no idea whether that be so.

At what point do the 634 mugs still subsidizing her via Patreon start to think why they are still funnelling cash to this very unreliable “grifter” and fantasist, who has recently been in the Guardian laughing about how, when drunk or drugged, she would buy four large pieces of furniture in a few days “for a laugh” or some such.

Is all that is required, for “Jack Monroe” to receive donations from naive mugs, for her to snarl occasionally on Twitter about “cost of living” or “wicked Tories“? Even if they are (and no argument from me on that), how does that either seriously oppose “Conservative” policies or “help the poor“?

“Jack Monroe” has claimed to have been working on a measure of how “the poor” are disproportionately affected by inflation, something she calls (from one of the Discworld books of Terry Pratchett) the “Vimes Boots Index“, but it seems that that might be just another fantasy; in short, another lie.

The man was apparently a heroin addict. They all pleaded guilty, the crew got off with suspended sentences, but the captain received a sentence of, if I recall aright, two years’ imprisonment. The amount was tens of thousands (perhaps about £20,000), not the millions of the Zahawi case.

It often seems that the UK now has effectively no border security. Untermenschen from various countries invade our territory without difficulty, and when “intercepted” (ferried to the UK, or met at the beach), taken to a 3* or 4* hotel, thenceforth battening off the British people for the rest of their lives.

The very best that can be expected of 99% of the migrant-invaders is that they will be totally useless; more likely, most of them are criminal and even murderous.

Cruel and disgusting individuals

A primary school worker and her boyfriend encouraged a two-year-old to kill badgers and foxes during a barbaric family day out, a court heard.

Paris Jade Carding, 28, of Fawley Grove, Wythenshawe, appeared in 32 video clips showing ‘shocking and horrendous’ incidents of animal cruelty.”

Her boyfriend, Grant Leigh Jnr, 30, of the same address, was also found guilty, reports Manchester Evening News.

Inquiries revealed she had been joined on the barbaric family expedition by her boyfriend and his ex-huntsman father, Grant Leigh Snr, 52, of Marler Road in Hyde, Tameside.”

Will they even be imprisoned? I hope so.

I believe that a 6-month maximum still applies unless the dogs were injured (which raises the maximum to 5 years, the crimes having happened before 2021).

I would not be surprised if the bitch featured in the report gets off lightly because of the mere fact that she has children (who may well grow up to be as bad as the rest of the “family”).

The courts cannot at present punish this sort of depraved and scarcely-human trash with sufficient severity. The prospect of being sentenced soon does not seem to have wiped the smirk off the evil woman defendant’s face…

I think that the newspaper should have published the exact addresses of the defendants in this case.

The above-reported-on is a very nasty series of crimes despite the fact that the government itself, in the past decade, has wrongfully killed untold thousands of badgers in order to placate the farming lobby.

Absurd leniency in sentencing

I am not at all a “flogger and hanger” but the misplaced leniency shown in that report is just a bad joke. Where is the justice for the victim? I bet that someone who, for example, said something mildly “anti-Semitic”, would get a far heavier sentence (which, after all, would hardly be difficult).

Incidentally, the Daily Mail really ought to employ competent sub-editors, or at least a few literate reporters (I note that the semi-literate scribbler who penned the above report is one “Danyal Hussain”, which may explain the poor English).

Without his unmerited titles and monies, “Prince” Harry would be merely a mildly mentally-disturbed nobody. He has nothing useful to say (let alone to do). Shut up.

If Liz Truss is trying to reprise Anna Karenina (at least in terms of her outfit), then she should re-read the end of the book. Choo choo!

System political puppet-show polling

Other pollsters are broadly in the same area at present, with a slight decrease in the Labour lead over the past couple of weeks.

It is fairly clear to me that, if the misnamed Conservative Party can ditch “Boris”, and if they can then find someone not immediately obviously an idiot to replace him, the two main System parties will be near parity before very long; that suits Con rather than Lab in terms of potential Westminster seats.

Recent local council by-elections continue to show a decrease in the Labour vote-share (with a few exceptions) even where Labour has won the seat in question.

The British (especially English) dilemma remains: if, as voter, you dislike, distrust or despise both main System parties, where do you go? What can you do?

My own political stance is rather different, both in terms of orientation and strategy. I cannot see a way forward as things stand. There has to be a breakdown of both the political system and the economy before a real social-national movement can arise.

Hard to see where Starmer-Labour has any edge over the Cons. Its policies remain similar to those of the Cons, and apart from a sluggish feel to Lab under Starmer, there is the perception, surely correct, that Labour has become a would-be technocratic or “managerial” “we can run workhouses better” party, which I would suggest is not immediately attractive to most voters.

Looking at the near-meltdown of the “Conservatives” (Liz Truss as Foreign Secretary! Nadine Dorries actually in Cabinet! etc) in recent months —indeed, over the past 2 years—, it is amazing that Labour and Starmer are not higher in the polls than they are.

Were a new Con Party leader to come in and sweep away the Truss, Dorries, Priti Patel (etc) detritus, Labour would be dead in the water (again). Corbyn was “Marmite” to many, but Labour was doing better under Corbyn in real elections than it has done under Starmer, so far at least.

Starmer’s trump card, he thinks, is managerial efficiency, and that is certainly the Cons’ weak suit, but Starmer and Labour may find that that is not quite enough. Also, I should imagine that the voters, even if unaware of the Labour Friends of Israel aspect, look at Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, and see (rightly, in my estimation) would-be tyrants, full of political correctness and hatred for free speech.

Little Matt Hancock, once “health tsar”, now totally washed-up and irrelevant, wishes the Prince of Wales “recovery” from an “illness” of which said notable would be completely unaware were it not for a “test”!

This whole “Covid” thing, whether you call it “panicdemic”, “scamdemic” or whatever, has just become utterly ludicrous. I think that the public perception of that (albeit that it took the public 2 years to wake up to it) is behind the swift abandonment of restrictions such as the facemask nonsense.

“Boris” may be an idiot, but he has a general cunning re. the public mood. He needs a boost, and getting rid of the restrictions will give him one, even if not as much of a boost as he needs.

Incidentally, I went to Waitrose about 5 days ago. Not very crowded (early evening). As I entered the store, I saw a number of people, all at least 80, all wearing facemasks. About 6-8 of them. My heart sank that the sheep had still not awoken from the brainwashing. However, on going further into Waitrose, I saw that almost all the remaining shoppers (of all ages) were not still wearing the useless bits of cloth or plastic. Thank God for that.

Jacinda Ardern, like Justin Trudeau, will not be removed by petitions, peaceful demonstrations, or even election voting.

Russia must take Eastern Ukraine, Kiev, and the Black Sea littoral soon, or lose the golden moment. Waiting a few weeks might or might not be OK. Waiting a year would be disastrous. The New World Order will by then have built up Ukraine into, if not a NATO state (NATO rules disallow a country to join if its territory is partly-occupied), then a quasi-NATO ZOG puppet state.

A lot depends on weather, as with Barbarossa in 1941. If the mud gets worse, it might impede even the armoured vehicles of 2022, and the mud will not go until the late spring, or summer.

Everything favours the Russian forces…so far. Russia’s air power is overwhelming, its armour also very strong. Russia also has superiority in the numbers, equipment, and training of its ground troops.

A simultaneous seizure of the whole east of Ukraine, of Odessa (with Black Sea coast and the littoral stretching a few miles beyond that coast), and of Kiev, would mean that all major cities of Ukraine except Lvov would be in Russian hands. The capture of Kiev would decapitate the regime of the Jewish clown now posing as President, and there would be no immediate need to seize the half to two-thirds of Ukraine west of the Dnieper and inland.

Admittedly, that might leave considerable anti-Russia forces in the west of Ukraine, and a rump government based on Lvov. However, that rump government would have few sources of funding, be unable to import or export by sea, and would have limited credibility. Russian air power would be able to eliminate any large concentrations of armour left, and the air force of Ukraine is very weak; it would probably by then have more or less ceased to exist.

It is tragic that two peoples closely bound together for so long (over a thousand years) should battle in this way, but Russia has little choice now. For the sake of the whole civilian population of Ukraine, it must strike both swiftly and overwhelmingly. A Blitzkrieg for the sake of mercy, if you like.

More about Ukraine etc

While driving, I listened to BBC Radio 4 PM (old and bad habits die hard). Liz Truss in Moscow. Bloody hell! What an embarrassment this whole Cabinet is! The presenter said that Liz Truss was “talking tough” to the Russians… Talk about a hollow threat! Little Liz Truss, “talking tough” but with literally nothing to back her up.

The British Army, supposedly about 70,000 strong, but (if what I read is correct) with only about 11,000 active front-line troops altogether. Around Ukraine alone, Russia is said to have massed over 100,000.

It would have been better for Liz Truss to have said nothing than to have uttered, as she did, scarcely-veiled threats, when the Russians know that she has nothing in her arsenal with which to speak louder.

Talking about useless people, I also heard Cressida Dick yapping about how she is going to root out police personnel engaged in “racist, homophobic or misogynistic” language. How about the police actually doing their main job instead of doing the bidding of malicious Jew-Zionist agitators such as those in the tiny group of troublemakers called “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism”?

The CAA specializes in making malicious and often completely false allegations. I have had several made against me in the past decade, most recently only last year: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

[Cressida Dick, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, talking at New Scotland Yard with Gideon Falter, “Chief Executive” of the tiny “Campaign Against Antisemitism” group]

The police seem all too ready to play the role of “poundland KGB”. There have been thousands of recent examples of police exceeding their powers, and going well beyond what the law actually says (repressive as it anyway now is). There again, Cressida Dick is a Common Purpose drone, and their arrogant motto is “leading beyond authority“, a major reason why idiots like Mizz Dick have been promoted beyond their competence, and why public administration is now beginning to break down.

Meanwhile, I notice that, in Winchester, a statue has now been unveiled to honour a mediaeval Jewish moneylender woman! Comment is superfluous…

It can only be a matter of time before Odessa is taken.

Raus!

So Lavrov, Foreign Minister of a country 72x the size of the UK, with several times the population, and armed forces about 20x as numerous and powerful, got bored listening to the shrill grandstanding of Liz Truss, who carries no weight whatsoever, either militarily, politically, or intellectually. For the UK, this is embarrassingly poor.

As I said, Liz Truss is just an embarrassment, like “Boris”-idiot…

Predictable indeed…

…and the msm are still puffing the teenage Swedish autistic, someone with no education to speak of, no scientific background, no real popular support. Yet there she sits, on the Marr show, pontificating and demanding. A puppet on a stick.

Yet again…

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/woman-blew-kisses-after-glassing-25334594

Once again, a vicious attacker, who had no reason to attack the victim, who was not even known to her, and with whom she had had not even casual conversation or interaction, is let off with a suspended sentence.

Read the report. The victim? 10 external stitches above the eye, 4 internal stitches. Blood everywhere. Pain and suffering. A permanent facial scar. Social anxiety flowing from the attack.

This is part of a pattern in the UK now. Vicious attacks, not infrequently (as here) carried out by a woman, often fuelled by booze or drugs (in this case, both), and/or with a defendant (often, and as in this case) basically crying in court and blaming “mental issues” and/or drink/drug problems for her disgusting crime.

The other part of said pattern is the undue leniency shown by judges, especially the part-time ones (such as the Recorder in this case).

GBH “with intent”, aka “s.18 GBH”, carries a maximum life sentence, and it trivializes the charge to sentence the woman here (who both pleaded guilty and accepted that her victim was, in the words of the Recorder, “entirely innocent” of any wrongdoing) to a suspended sentence.

I am not a “hang and flog” type of person, but I would have sentenced the defendant to at least a year in prison. Jez Turner of the London Forum got a year merely for urging, in a speech, that Jews be removed from the UK, while persecuted satirist and singer, Alison Chabloz, got months in prison for offending the delicate sensibilities of Zionist Jews and/or “holocaust” fraudsters via podcast discussions, cartoons and songs.

My own last real criminal case at the Bar (I mean real crime, not South West Water or Balfour Beatty failing to comply with regulation), was in a Crown Court in London in 1994, and that was also a “s.18” GBH with intent trial. My defendant had been involved in a fight with an aggressive attacker. He had thrown boiling oil over him, then stabbed him twice.

As to what sentence my lay client got (for what was almost a murder, the knife having come very close to penetrating the heart of the victim), there never was one; I managed to secure an acquittal on the ground of self-defence. He probably would have received about 5 years imprisonment from what was a very fierce old judge.

If judges (as sometimes seems now to be the case) keep letting violent criminals off lightly, especially when the defendant is a woman, society slides further down the slope to lawless anarchy.

…and none dare call it conspiracy…

More facemask nonsense (for the serving staff…). A puppet show.

Prince Charles

The heir to the British throne (if it still exists by that time), who may indeed sit on that throne for a few years in the near-to-medium future, has said at the absurd Glasgow climate jamboree that the world is in the “last chance saloon“. Well, no-one has ever accused his family or dynastic line of either intellectuality or originality…

As a matter of fact, I think that it is just on 12 years since Charles claimed that the world had 100 months (i.e. until 2017/2018) to “act” until climate change became “irreversible”: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/mar/08/prince-charles-monarchy; https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/dec/18/copenhagen-deal. Then the world yawned and Charles extended the royal deadline…https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/28/prince-charles-extends-climate-doomsday-deadline/.

Now here is Charles again, flying around by helicopter, and preaching to those below that they must give up almost everything that makes life worth living.

Meanwhile, the white European peoples of the Earth are being invaded by hordes of the rapidly-proliferating blacks and browns. The Earth’s population has an ever-smaller proportion of white Northern Europeans. That, particularly the ever-higher proportion of non-Europeans in the world, consuming more and more of the world’s resource, represent the greatest danger humanity faces.

Interesting. It is worth reading the whole thread.

The “benefits” point is all but irrelevant; I do not want vast foreign-origined populations in the UK, whether they work or not. The proper point arising from the above pictures is that they show to what extent London, and much of the rest of England (Britain, but mainly England) has been totally swamped.

However, at the very same time, in 1917, the corrupted politicos in Westminster were already giving Palestine away to World Jewry, via the Balfour Declaration [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration]. Beersheba is now an Israeli town [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beersheba].

Sentencing As Virtue-Signalling

I do not often blog about criminal court cases, but this one caught my eye.

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-05-16/sad-man-jailed-for-daubing-racist-graffiti-on-african-familys-door/

On the face of it, a clear case, with no doubt about the immediately-relevant facts. The defendant admitted to the crime and was sentenced to a year in prison. There are some nuances, however.

Obviously, criminal damage cannot be tolerated, and it is certainly not very nice and certainly not very polite to daub words on the door of a neighbouring dwelling; but to my mind the sentence was harsh.

The defendant was sentenced to a year in prison and will therefore be released in 6 months’ time, possibly earlier. The chances are that he will lose his local authority home. I have no idea what possessions or companion animals he may have, but unless he has friends or family somewhere to look after them, they too will be lost. He will come out of prison with nowhere to go, and may not be rehoused if some local penpusher decrees that he made himself homeless by his own actions.

That is part of the background. Then we have the point that the defendant had no previous convictions save for a silly one, 27 years previously, involving a “sick-note”.

In view of the fact that the local authority would probably take the crime to be a breach of lease terms or conditions, and so would take away the defendant’s home anyway, would it not have been more just simply to have given this defendant a suspended sentence?

This looks like kicking a man when he is down. At the same time, we see the courts daily giving thugs, thieves etc non-sentences. Of course, this was a “racial” crime…the courts have obviously been told to treat any offence having a “racial” element more seriously (harshly), in an attempt to keep the doomed multikulti society from falling to pieces.

I noticed, also, that the victims were from the Congo. Again, I do not know the full facts, but it is odds-on that what we have here are either “refugees” or economic migrants who have left Africa in order to settle in the UK. Odds-on, again, that the British people (including the defendant) are paying for the victims to live here and breed.

The case above reminds me of one about 25 years ago in Hammersmith, in which a man was driven half-mad by the incessant noise of blacks and their “music”, parties etc in the flat above his dwelling; so much so that he burned them out, killing several. He got a sentence, I think, of about 10 years for manslaughter and arson. Again, the act can scarcely be “justified”, perhaps, but it can be understood. Legally, provocation does not exist and provides no defence in such a case. In real-life terms, though, I think that many will feel a little sorry for such a defendant.

There is a further point: the defendant in the immediate case in question felt the need to say that he is not “racist” (perhaps after consultation with solicitors or Counsel). So even he himself felt the need to “virtue-signal”! If he or his advisers thought that a display of “contrition” and “I’m not racist” protesting would mitigate the sentence, they seem to have been mistaken.

There is also the point that, as hundreds of thousands of blacks and browns etc flood into the UK every year, and as politicians bleat about the “need” to destroy what is left of the countryside in order to build little boxes for migrants on agricultural land and forested land, very many fully-entitled British people are homeless (after today’s sentence, add another one, 6 months down the line).

I am at present also preparing a blog post about Peter Hitchens, who thinks that the UK is doomed in terms of its present society. I suppose that most of us hope that he is wrong. I also suppose that he is probably right.
