“Two farm workers have been sacked after a film revealed pigs apparently being beaten to death on a free-range farm supplying Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets. Other animals were sick or paralysed, but left untreated, footage appeared to show.

The RSPCA suspended the farm from its Assured scheme after The Independent notified it of the scenes of cruelty.

When are the penalties for cruelty to animals going to be commensurate with the suffering caused?

Unscientific, of course, but I think that it still says something, even if popular support for Putin in the UK is half or a quarter of the figure above.

Putin may not be a “nice person” (are Sunak, Starmer, and Schwab?) but he is effective, most of the time. Sunak and Starmer are dull nobodies, really, for all their career “success” and/or money. As for Schwab, just evil; sinister.

I saw Moscow in 1993. Russia was on its knees. It was until about 2000. Russians over the age of, say, thirty years of age, remember those days. I returned in 2007. Amazing difference (though the rough edges were still there).

Because (((the usual suspects))) own or influence the Western msm…

South Africa – 1st for deaths by knife globally – 8th highest murder rate globally – a woman is more likely to be raped than learn to read – 32% unemployment rate – [only] 46% of children in secondary education.”

[from a tweet seen]

…and yet the whole System mass media, all the fake “celebrities”, all the “antifa” dimwits, pretty much all the Labour Party membership etc still think that South Africa is better than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. They still think that thick-as-two-short planks Nelson Mandela was both saintly and incredibly intelligent (in fact, he was a would-be terrorist leader who turned to African revolution at the age of 42, and after having failed his law degree several times, and the only reason he was not an active terrorist leader is because he was so inept at conspiracy, and was arrested before he could start a race war against South African whites).

Few people in the West are aware of the true facts, or that those behind Mandela and his botched race-war terror strategy were Jews, including at least one formerly involved in the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing.

South Africa may have needed reform in the 1960-1990 period, but African “majority rule” was always going to be disastrous. It has been.

What the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza is not, under any reasonable or fair assessment, or view, “self-defence”. The killing of tens of thousands, almost all civilians, half of them under 18, a quarter (approximately) under 12 years of age. The wounding of several times that number.

The Jew/Zionist lobby in the UK and elsewhere is, on the whole, supportive of the actions of the Israeli state. Their cries of “nothing to do with us, guv!” ring very hollow.

As for the recent “apology” from Sky News to the Jewish lobby and to some evil Israeli demagogue [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Danon; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Danon#Gaza_Strip], it just shows how weak the so-called “free msm” are when it comes to resisting the typical barrage of wheedling or angry demands from the Israeli andf/or Jewish lobby.

“They” always seek “apologies”. Any “apologies” to them are regarded by them as being equivalent to surrender, and humiliating surrender at that.

They will never get one from me.

Possibly interesting, but without detailed knowledge of the Israeli order of battle in the Gaza operation, meaningless. I have no such knowledge, so the intelligence noted is not useful to me.

The news broadcast is in Arabic and (judging by the device at bottom right) is from Al Jazeera.

Anything taken to an excess, to an absurd excess, is just out of concordance with the Universe and reality in the macro sense.

When I look at Elon Musk, or that odd little man Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, or (before he went up the chimney) Steve Jobs, or the myriad “Russian” (mostly Jew) “oligarchs”, my primary thought is “they have too much money“.

I do not mean that they have “too much money” relative to me (that is very easy!) or even in relation to most people, or most wealthy people (“wealthy” in a more ordinary sense); no, what I mean is that people on the Musk, Bezos, Gates level of wealth literally have too much money.

The ultra-wealthy have so much money that they do not know what to do with it, except get a team of people working on how to further increase the hoard of wealth that the ultra-wealthy have already.

In the end, all it becomes is a kind of Masque of the Red Death game or competition; whoever has the most beans, the highest figures on a computer screen, is the winner. A winner, someone who has won something and nothing. Ask Steve Jobs. Oh…you can’t…

Some of the ultra-wealthy are themselves casting around, trying to find something worthy to do with at least some of their vast wealth. Merely being rich is not enough, not when you are that rich. Several of such people (eg Musk) are in control of assets worth around USD $220 BILLION, i.e. two hundred and twenty thousand million! When you consider that a massive mega-yacht might cost USD $500 million or, at most (?), USD $1 billion (thus costing the buyer maybe less than half of one percent of his asset-value), you see both the problem and the consequent frustration.

As for smaller toys (houses, estates, cars etc) they are as nothing in comparison to the wealth some hold. Even hugely “overpriced” artworks the same.

Look at the competition among a handful of the ultra-wealthy to build their own rockets. An exercise in showing off toys, really, the aim being what? To send groups of tourists into orbit? How pointless.

To have “too much” wealth (without putting any particular figure on it) is like eating 100 pizzas a day, drinking 10 bottles of Chateau Margaux each day, or even drinking 10 gallons of water, and is dangerous for a person’s health; in the case of wealth, also dangerous for society.

God, what a horrible tribe.

The Kiev regime is a mainly Jewish/Zionist-ruled, shambolic, corrupt, and brutal dictatorship, in which most political parties and trade unions are banned, and where exercizing “free speech” can get you arrested and criminalized.

Thank God the UK is not like that! Oh, no, wait…(I am being sentenced in a few days’ time for a few comments, analyses, and cartoons allegedly published on this blog over the past few years…).

Saturday quiz

A convincing drubbing of political journalist John Rentoul this week. He scored a modest 4/10, which I trumped with 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 7, 8, and 9 (and admit that my correct answer to question 5 was an educated guess).

Ha ha! Many of them actually think like that. The 2,000-3,000 years (or more) of European history and culture are, for most of them, a closed book; they know almost literally nothing about it, and so about us.

Meanwhile, in London, the zoo is no longer that place in Regent’s Park.

…and both Starmer and Angela Rayner got down on one knee in sign of fealty to that nonsense…

Alex Kotlowitz…99% of that sort of propaganda comes from “them” (((them))).

…but say so, and (((someone))) will make a contrived complaint to the otherwise all but inactive police, and you may find yourself in court as a defendant…

A point already made on this blog a day or so ago.

Gideon Rachman

Every. Single. Time.

As noted previously, many of them really believe that, or some version or variant of that…

…and that is what it would be like in France under Marine le Pen, in Germany under the AfD, and in the UK under Farage or Reform UK. Controlled opposition. The touchstone is what any political group says about Israel, the Jew-Zionist lobby, and generally the “JQ”. If they are ideologically unsound on that, you can chuck them in the bin.

It is, apparently, “antisemitic” for non-Jews to play Jewish roles such as Robert Oppenheimer (the nuclear physicist) in a recent TV series, but Jews play white European roles all the time. Apparently, that’s OK (and, no doubt, to prevent that or even complain about it would be —you guessed it— “antisemitic“).

Blacks too, can play any European role (however absurdly), but I have yet to see a European actor playing Nelson Mandela or Muhammad Ali… That will never happen; if it did, our cities would burn to the ground (be burned to the ground).

As noted many times on this blog, the propaganda is not aimed at the adult audience, primarily; the main target is the under-18 demographic, especially children, and the aim is to normalize the existence, and prominence, of non-whites in every part of our society, even when (as in almost any European historical setting) there were no blacks at all. Also, to normalize mixed-race breeding.

It’s almost funny…just as the Soviet Union and the whole “East bloc” (and almost all Western observers) pretended, during the 1980s, that its system, way of life etc would go on pretty much forever (only to find that all that collapsed almost, not quite, overnight in various socialist states in 1989, 1990, 1991), the UK ruling groups are themselves pretty much stuck in a bubble of belief not unalike that Soviet/socialist mindset.

I saw the “East bloc” a few times in the late 1980s, and had a lot of contact with Soviet and ex-Soviet people all through that decade. I get a similar feeling looking at our UK society. The facade is still there, but it is held together with string and glue…

Look at this latest “conscript the British public to fight Russia” nonsense. To some extent, it may be an attempt to prevent the wipe-out of the Conservative Party at GE 2024, but it goes much wider than that. Similar nonsense has come out of Washington, Brussels, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Finland in the past 2 weeks.

In the UK, there seem to be Army top brass, as well as many members of the public, who believe that not only should the UK “fight Russia” but that “we” can (also, note the illusion that the UK is still a “nation”…). Also, that the projected (promoted?) Third World War (against Russia) will be somewhat like a conflation of WW1 and WW2. The usual mistake— “fighting the last war”.

I have as yet seen no colourful graphics from the Daily Mail, Express etc describing vividly what the blasted and irradiated remnant of the UK might be like after a nuclear war…

Sounds desperate. Maybe, though, that is how John Rentoul and the other Westminster Bubble people really think— that the past 10-20 years in the UK has been really great… maybe life has been, for them and, overall, about 5% of the population…

So a general heating of the political/military atmosphere of the world this year.

Always interesting to see the areas where such events took place. En route back across Europe by car (Turkey to UK) in the summer 2001, my wife and I stumbled upon a small family-run hotel in the Ardennes.

On its own, with no houses nearby, and on a minor road. All around, the country was heavily-wooded, and the hotel (a large 19thC house with a pleasant garden) had had a small restaurant extension added circa 1960 (I think), looking like —and furnished in— the style of some of the scenes in the film North by Northwest.

As we dined, initially alone in the restaurant (later, one other couple appeared, but I think that we were the only other hotel guests), we were told by the waitress (a young woman, one of the owning family) that during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, that house had been the headquarters (or one such) for the American commander, Patton, and that we were occupying the room that Patton himself had used as a bedroom during part of those times (either during or after the actual battle; the exact details were not specified).

The norm in the past has been for the opinion polls to narrow as a general election approaches. This time, with only 10 months to go, and possibly only 8 months, the polls are widening. Why?

For me it is clear that the widening is not because the voters love fake (and Zionist-ruled) “Labour”, and/or wishy-washy bureaucrat-dictator Starmer, but because they —including many former Con voters— actually now hate —and I do mean hate— this incompetent and hopeless “Conservative” government, and want to stamp on it until it dies. They want to kill off (politically) as many Con Party MPs as possible.

No point in going again through all the reasons, but part of, or added to, that long list would obviously be the endless pseudo-“tough” talk on immigration combined with no action whatsoever. Also, now, the craven “support” given to the evil Israeli regime and the UK Jewish lobby; also now the billions (more) being wasted on “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), together with the suggestion that the UK should be placed on a war footing (notionally against Russia), with whatever civil rights still existing removed (eg the fast-disappearing free speech rights). Even the reintroduction of conscription or “National Service”. Madness.

Rain, sleet, and no shelter or any food for many. Meanwhile, the Jews (both in and out of Israel) claim that their ancestors had it worse in early/mid 1940s Poland, and that their actions in Gaza are legitimate “self-defence”…

That should be the stance taken by all European political leaders.

“Containment” is not at all necessary, because Russia in 2024 has no ideology that would make expansion in any way its national goal, as contrasted with pre-1990s Soviet Marxism-Leninism.

“Ukraine” should really consist of only the territory west of the Dnieper.

If the “preferences” of non-whites resident in the UK were not counted, that latter figure would be 0%.

The Jew-Zionists play it differently in France, the UK etc; there, they try to abuse laws of various kinds in order to repress free speech and freedom of expression, while trying to keep a stranglehold on the mainstream media.

The unfortunate population of Gaza suffers and suffers, while the Israeli and other Jew-Zionists mock their suffering in Tik-Tok and other online postings. “They” are laughing (so far).

The last time (the last major time, at least) that France gave (an entirely worthless) “security guarantee” was in March 1939: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Polish_alliance.

That went well…

Poland was then (September 1939) flattened by invasions from two sides, by the German Reich advancing from the west, and by the Red Army advancing from the east (with a few other little incursions in the south as well). France (and Britain) declared war on one invader-state only, the German Reich, and did not actually lift a finger to assist Poland directly.

Beware of “guarantees”, especially from France.

The number of Albanians arriving on the small-boats rose sharply between 2020 and 2022, from 54 to 12,301, though is now beginning to fall. Yet at the same time the number of Indian nationals crossing has risen sharply, from not a single Indian in 2018 or 2019 to almost 700 last year.

Some suggest Indians are now the third-largest cohort of migrants crossing the Channel. There are currently more than 51,000 asylum-seekers living in hotels in Britain.

At the end of 2022, the total estimated one-year cost of asylum-related spending on hotel accommodation, asylum-related allowances, healthcare, and school places – along with supporting new bodies like the Small Boats Operational Command (SBOC) and a technical unit specialising in asylum applications by Albanians – is now estimated to be in the region of £3.5 billion.

Put another way, last year the UK government spent three and a half times more accommodating newcomers in hotels (£2.2 billion) than the £630 million spent tackling homelessness in the UK, or spent more money accommodating newcomers than it spent on the latest fund for Levelling-up the left behind regions outside of London (£2.1 billion).

[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog].

In theory, there is almost no limit to the numbers who can claim “asylum” in the UK. The applicable law and rules were passed at a time or times when it was never envisaged that globalization and international disorder might result in huge populations, hundreds of millions of people, deciding to relocate en masse to Europe, including the UK.

If sceptics say, “it would never happen” (that hundreds of millions might strike out for the UK), the present migration-invasion (both “legal” and “illegal”) was never thought, by the average Joe, to be likely to happen, either. I can recall being ridiculed for suggesting that it might happen. That was in the 1970s. Look now…

Matt Goodwin, however, seems to be labouring under the misapprehension (let us politely call it that) that the System is simply incompetent, whereas in fact, amid the general incompetence of the Westminster Bubble types, there are secret and sinister plans afoot, and have been for decades: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

The continuing migration-invasion has already pretty much killed off, in most people, the pride in being British felt by most previous generations; it is also, right now, killing off what is left of the idea that the UK is “a nation” or a small group of 4-6 nations in one. It is killing off the Welfare State, the NHS, the idea that the average person without family money can buy a decent house or flat, and much else besides.

There will either be chaos or civil war, or both, by 2050 if not long before that date.

Is that surprising? Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel (as is Blair, whereas Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, and Liz Truss are all members of Conservative Friends of Israel. Not forgetting the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).

Starmer is of course married to a Jewish woman, a property lawyer: see https://www.tatler.com/article/the-rising-starmer-who-is-lady-victoria-starmer-tatler-january-2023-issue, and their children are being brought up as if full-Jew:

It was her parents who instilled her Jewish faith and the Starmers have continued in that tradition.

Despite Sir Keir being an atheist, the family attend The Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St John’s Wood. A politico from the Jewish community tells me: ‘Keir has fully embraced Victoria’s Jewish practice.’ Their children are said to go to Cheder lessons at the synagogue, where young people learn about Judaism.

They uphold the Shabbat tradition of Friday-night dinners with family and friends as often as they can, even taking to Zoom prayers – read by Victoria’s father – during the pandemic. Invitations to these dinners are known to be ‘highly prized’…

Her faith may in fact turn out to be significant in a political sense. As to what her first official foray into politics might be, one Westminster insider suggests that it could be connected with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM): ‘Giving a speech to JLM would be quite an easy introduction because it is already the community she is part of.’

The group has approached Sir Keir’s office about Lady Starmer’s involvement. At the Labour Party’s annual conference in Liverpool last September, she went with Ruth Smeeth, who has since been nominated for a Labour peerage, and a small group from JLM to Liverpool Reform Synagogue to mark the first day of Jewish New Year.

Another Westminster insider says: ‘She has helped shape Keir’s understanding of anti-Semitism...”

[Tatler]

I disagree with calling any humans, or humanoids, “animals“. The animal kingdom already suffers so much from humanity, so I prefer not to add insult to injury.

On the “terrorism” point, though, Jews have been going from the UK, France, USA etc to Israel for training and indoctrination for decades. They stand ready to do whatever they are told to do.

Victor Ostrovsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ostrovsky] has said (and written) that MOSSAD and other Israeli Intelligence agencies maintain arms caches in all countries except the USA. So the arms (and explosives?) are already in the UK, as are those Jews who have received military and other training in Israel. Most if not all have UK passports and mostly dual nationality. A ready-made small army…

Is the Security Service complacent about all that? Complicit? The Government actually gives Jewish organizations British taxpayers’ money in order to “assist with security”. Is there any oversight? I doubt it.

Israeli war crimes, cheered on by (it seems, looking at Twitter/X and elsewhere) many, maybe most of the Jews currently resident in the UK, France, USA etc. That, at least, is my own impression (I concede that my conclusion is based on evidence anecdotal or unscientific).

The Tories are failing to provide a serious & effective response to illegal migration while also losing control of legal migration. And now both will almost certainly soar to even higher levels under a Labour government, which has no serious plan for the former and does not care about the latter.

This will further erode public trust in politics, fuel division, cost more lives in the Channel, and undermine the legitimacy of the old politics.

The real losers in all this will be the British people who simply asked for what they were promised in 2016: control over their borders and much lower levels of immigration.

The end result –I suspect– will either be widespread apathy or the emergence of a new politics which finally takes this promise, and the British people, seriously.”

[Matt Goodwin]

First apathy, then perhaps, after the UK slides further into the mire, there may emerge, from the depths of the people, a new wave.

Zelensky began to prepare Western public opinion for total mobilization in Ukraine and the extradition of Ukrainian men: “This is a matter of law and justice. If you are of mobilization age, according to Ukrainian law, you must be in Ukraine. It is a fact. And then you will fight or not fight. You will work.

Without the help of the US and EU, Ukraine will struggle, Ukraine will be weaker and this will be an opportunity for Russia to take over us. And as soon as they capture us, believe me, it will be a war between NATO and Russia.”

[Zelensky]

The Zelensky cabal seems to have accepted that, as things stand, Russia has the strategic or positional advantage.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/10/senior-tory-alicia-kearns-scathing-attack-bill-banning-public-bodies-boycotting-israel

A senior Conservative MP launched a scathing attack on a controversial bill banning local councils from boycotting Israel, as eight Tories voted against the proposed legislation.

Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chair of the foreign affairs select committee, told the Guardian that the bill undermined free speech, went against international law and risked leaving the UK isolated on the global stage.

While the bill passed by 282 votes to 235, eight Conservative MPs voted against the legislation, which will cause some embarrassment to its chief supporter, Michael Gove.

[Guardian]

The 282 MPs who have voted for that bill are Israel-lobby and Jewish-lobby puppets.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/11/uk-cancer-survival-rates-developed-world-report

The UK has some of the worst cancer survival rates in the developed world, according to new research.

Analysis of international data by the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce found that five-year survival rates for lung, liver, brain, oesophageal, pancreatic and stomach cancers in the UK are worse than in most comparable countries. On average, just 16% of UK patients live for five years with these cancers.

Out of 33 countries of comparable wealth and income levels, the UK ranks as low as 28th for five-year survival of both stomach and lung cancer, 26th for pancreatic cancer, 25th for brain cancer and 21st and 16th for liver and oesophageal cancers respectively.

The six cancers account for nearly half of all common cancer deaths in the UK and more than 90,000 people are diagnosed with one of them in Britain every year.

Starmer is a weasel, an Israel-lobby puppet, a Jewish-lobby puppet, and nothing more, but the most important thing is to completely wipe out, if possible, the equally-“occupied” “Conservative” Party. It would be disastrous if more than about a hundred Con Party MPs were to survive the 2024 General Election. That would tend to validate the rigged pseudo-democratic System.

Every time Starmer opens his mouth, he reveals just how unfitted he is for the role of Prime Minister. Something that he has in common with the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

I am thinking maybe a loss of around 250-300 seats, leaving the Con Party as a (50-100 MP) rump party, on a similar though higher level to the LibDems (now with 15 MPs but maybe with 30 or more after the GE, thanks purely to a projected or possible collapse of the Con Party vote in the South of England as well as elsewhere).

Of course, the LibDems are a bad joke, but then look at the Con Party over the last 14 years or more…indeed, look at the “leaders” alone: David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak.

I should like to be able to dissent from that last sentence but really, and in all honesty, do not think that I can, unless some almost miraculous event, or series of events, so far unforeseen, can be a “pattern interrupt” on a grand scale.

A former firearms officer who was stripped down to her underwear during a police training course was today awarded more than £820,000 after winning a sex discrimination case against her force.

The 40-year-old, who retired after 15 years in West Midlands Police on medical grounds, was awarded £30,000 by the tribunal for sex harassment and discrimination in November. 

At the time, Employment Judge Christopher Camp ruled that the former Detective Inspector should also be compensated for lost earnings and pension on the basis she would have retired as a Superintendent at 60.

At a hearing today in Birmingham to determine those figures, a judge ordered West Midlands Police to pay her a total of £820,720.

[Daily Mail]

Absurd. Speculative, in that who is to say that she would have been further promoted anyway? Also, she left in her late thirties, so could have and can work elsewhere for about 20 years, I dare say, despite having been officially “medically retired“. Also, £800,000+, invested, can buy one or two houses, or be invested somewhere else, maybe bringing in around £80,000 p.a.

Several hundred thousand pounds should, in fairness, have been deducted from that total.

The name “Kalam” is of Indian/Pakistani Muslim origin.

The police should start to take a far greater interest in the fraudulent activities of various online “grifters”, among which is numbered the said Simon Harris, an Essex Jew who has apparently been living off various scams for years; also, the now-notorious “Bootstrap Cook” known as “Jack Monroe” (aka Melissa Hadjicostas), another denizen of South Essex; “Supertanskiii”, unthinking Labour Party partisan whose modus operandi (similar to that of “Jack Monroe”) is to scream abuse at the present hapless and hopeless government (to dupe the donor-mugs) while taking in money under various guises; Julia Grace Patterson: similar, but uses her couple of years (and many years ago) working as a junior doctor to pose as “champion of the NHS” (while taking in monies).

Something must have gone very badly wrong for @simonharris_mbd to receive £484k of taxpayers money from Essex County Council for performing broadly the same service as @jonmorter, the man who came up with the idea of Facebook-based Essex community groups in the first place, who received far, far less and was promptly shafted as a result.

It seems @kirstyocal and Essex County Council have many awkward and serious questions to answer about who knew what, when, and why so much taxpayer money was paid to one person in a deal that simply does not represent value for money for taxpayers.

Why did the council spend so much on a linked network of low-engagement Facebook pages and groups? What was Kirsty’s role in all this? Who approved the sign-off on expenditure? How was Simon selected as the service provider? Was this just pandemic-induced panic or something more serious? Why did it take regime change at the council for this to stop?

£484,000 at a time when councils are going bankrupt, cutting back services, increasing council tax, and struggling to cope. Absolutely astonishing.

If any journalists in my followers that I’ve not already spoken to would like to cover this story, I’m happy to provide them with everything I have so far.

Hard to believe. Looks like the grifter has snaffled nearly half a million pounds of Essex taxpayers’ monies. Did he attend the same course (at Grifters’ College) as “Jack Monroe”?

Good grief. That area has changed out of all recognition since I last saw it decades ago.

I was unsure, looking at Google Streetview, exactly where it used to be but if memory serves it seems to have been replaced by a contemporary 2/3-storey apartment development of some kind). 45 years of urban landscape change.

Thinking back, that pub was an unaesthetic box shape, standing alone, and had probably itself been built over bomb-damaged houses (houses damaged in the early 1940s), sometime in the 1950s.

Not sure whether those gatherings could be called “happy days”, but certainly there was less in-your-face State repression of social-national people; the Jew-Zionist lobby’s infiltration into the “British” Establishment was less obvious, less blatant, in those days.

Recollections? I do not think anyone now, after 45 years, can be harmed if I use the names of those old LSG colleagues (some are no longer with us anyway).

I recall our Secretary, Mary Dowton, who was always there. I believe that she became, though many years later, a published writer on astrology.

Then there was the dark-bearded and amiable Steve Brady, who wrote the Heimdall column in League Review. Heimdall, of course, was the watchful Norse god who blew a horn and wielded a sword: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimdall]. Steve had served a prison sentence in the mid-1970s for writing the truth, though I do not know the details. His sentence, I think about a year in the end, had been served in Reading Prison (now derelict or redeveloped); previously and famously the temporary home of Oscar Wilde.

Another occasional attendee was Keith Thompson, who now has a Wikipedia page devoted to him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Thompson_(politician). Keith was a not-unpleasant character, whose wife disapproved of his political activities, I think. One day, I was talking to him on the telephone (he was at his home, I think in NW London somewhere), when I heard a loud slapping sound, and he went silent. The conversation then went something like this—

Me: “Hello? Hello?

Keith: “Uh..uh…sorry, Ian. My wife has just slapped my face with a wet fish...”

A unique conversation, for sure…almost surrealistic.

Keith Thompson was or had been a fairly adventurous fellow who, after National Service sometime in the late 1950s or around 1960 (if so, he may have been one of the last few ever drafted) had travelled the world a bit, and had worked for a while in the uranium mines of Rum Jungle, in Australia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_Jungle,_Northern_Territory].

In more recent years, Keith Thompson was accused, I read somewhere, of having spied for Jew-Zionists. I have no idea whether that was the case. Pity if it was. He was always short of money, but then so have I been at various times, and no-one (whether official or Jew-Zionist) has ever asked me to spy (for money or any other reason). It would not suit me anyway. I am a believer…

There were others sometimes present at those pub “seminars” (or should we say, following Plato, “symposia”?) whose names I do not recall. A typical talking-shop, of course, rather than anything serious.

I had and still have my suspicions about who might have been reporting to MI5 or Special Branch 45 years ago, but no proof, just speculative analysis, and my lips remain sealed.

The League had its office near that pub, in a council flat the tenant of which was a League member who lived most of the time elsewhere but kept up the flat for the convenience of the League, though I think most LSG people never went there (The League used a P.O. box and/or a letter-forwarding service). I did visit once or twice, though fairly briefly. My memory, though still good, far better than almost anyone’s in fact, is not infallible, and I do not recall the exact address of that flat (not that it matters now either way); somewhere near that pub; just off the City Road, anyway. The flat probably got sold off privately in the 1980s or 1990s, and is now quite likely worth a million pounds, in the crazed London of 2024.

Do not vote Con or Lab. Either vote anywhere else, or abstain.

US money goes to the yachts of Ukrainian ministers, but Washington does not want to admit it – Tucker Carlson.

Ukraine will not win, no matter how much money the United States pours into it, but Washington stubbornly refuses to acknowledge this fact, argues host and political commentator Tucker Carlson.

Moreover, if any politician dares to publicly talk about defeat or corruption in Ukraine, he is immediately subjected to a barrage of criticism: “And if they are angry, it means that you are telling the truth,” Tucker is sure. According to him, only the United States still ignores the fact that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, and Zelensky is “not the person who should be trusted with hundreds of billions of dollars.”

The American government must admit the truth and stop supporting Ukraine “as long as it takes,” the presenter is sure. This leads not only to the destruction of Ukraine, but also to the deterioration of the lives of Americans: instead of taking care of their people, the US authorities send billions of dollars to Kyiv so that “the next Zelensky minister can buy himself a bigger yacht.”

Quite.

As blogged many times previously, the people generally (the “moronic masses”, if you like) are being played by the “refugees welcome” dimwits and the overlapping social media (etc) virtue-signallers, and also by the political chancers, such as Rory Stewart (lives in a listed Scottish Borders house he inherited —on about a hundred acres— and in a London apartment or house), who favour mass immigration but will never have to deal personally with any of its negative consequences.

Diary Blog, 4 January 2024, with some analysis of the upcoming 2024 General Election

Morning music

[Zeppelinfeld, Nuremberg, 1936; “Speer described the effect: “The feeling was of a vast room, with the beams serving as mighty pillars of infinitely light outer walls“.[7][3] The British Ambassador to Germany, Sir Neville Henderson, described it as “both solemn and beautiful… like being in a cathedral of ice“.[1] —Wikipedia]

That weasel Starmer, with his almost shamefaced (as well as shameful) self-serving lack of moral compass —albeit concealed behind a facade of faux-“decency”— reminds me very much of Cecil Parkinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Parkinson].

The little Indian money-juggler must be well-aware that most voters (even former Conservative voters) view the state of the country as terrible and getting worse.

If a general election is held “now” or soon, i.e. sometime in Spring 2024, the Conservative Party MP-cadre may be all but wiped out— possibly with only about 50 MPs left, though maybe 100 or, if Sunak is exceptionally lucky, 150.

If, on the other hand, the 2024 General Election is delayed until the winter of 2024, the state of the UK will almost inevitably be yet worse, and therefore the popularity of the (supposedly) governing Con Party will be even lower.

The usual stresses on NHS, transport etc will be even more severe, and the international situation may place greater stresses on the economy. Added to those factors, the migration-invasion will have continued for another year (nearly). On those premises, the Con Party may face not only the possibility but the probability that it will be reduced to something like 50 MPs.

It seems to me, therefore, that the GE will take place in late Summer or early Autumn, before the cold weather again arrives. So about 6-9 months from now. That gives time for Labour to make mistakes.

Even so, it seems unlikely (even in the “glorious uncertainty” of the UK electoral system) that the Conservative Party can hope for an MP-cadre much if at all higher than 100; certainly no more than 150. 150 would be bad for the Con Party (similar, though worse, to 1997 and 2001), whereas 100 or fewer would be seen as disastrous.

For me, perhaps for others in the social-national milieu, the main thing is to break the whole binary electoral system, which presents, every 4-5 years, a false choice to the electorate.

If the Conservative Party is trashed in the 2024 General Election, Labour will be able to form an elected dictatorship even worse than under Blair and Brown. That will lead to popular discontent (when it fails to address the several major challenges facing the UK), with the people even more eager to embrace a new way forward under a new political party or movement, and with the small rump Conservative Party having no credibility as an alternative government.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12924343/las-Vegas-judge-attacked-courtroom-Mary-Kay-holthus.html.

“A Las Vegas judge was pounced on and attacked by a criminal during a hearing after she denied him bail.

Judge Mary Kay Holthus from the Clark County District Court was mid-sentencing when convicted criminal Deobra Delone Redden launched at her on Wednesday morning.

Video footage shows the wild moment Redden leaped out from where he was standing and hopped into the judge’s bench to tackle her.

[Daily Mail]

Ha ha! Not that I myself would do the same (regular readers of the blog will know that I recently joined the convict classes, having made the mistake of thinking that England still had left at least some free speech or freedom of expression).

The American incident reported upon above reminds me of another incident, which happened when I was a Bar pupil (trainee barrister). That must have been in 1992.

The case involved two West Indians alleged to have robbed a petrol station in NW London, using a machete. They had been arrested the same evening, not very long afterwards, in the (alleged) getaway car.

There were oddities in the evidence. The car had been searched following the stop. No money or weapons had been found. Later, at the police station, a further search revealed a wad of cash. A week later, a further search “discovered” a container full of coins (allegedly from the filling station) and a machete. The allegation from the defendants was that everything had been planted.

My pupilmaster represented one defendant, about 6 ft 6 inches and massively built. A little twerp I recalled from the Inns of Court School of Law (“Bar School”) represented the other defendant, a menacing dreadlocked type calling to mind the drug-crazed “Mai Mulele” rebels of the Congo of the mid-1960s (see https://www.nytimes.com/1964/05/31/archives/rebels-in-congo-disdain-bullets-150-die-as-incantation-fails-to.html).

In fact, though I did not know said little twerp barrister, I recognized him, having been on the Bar Finals course with him (and hundreds of others) in 1987-88. I however had gone to the USA a while after that, so had not been Called to the (English) Bar until 1991; I also qualified at and was Admitted to the Bar of the State of New York.

All this took place at Wood Green Crown Court. As a Bar pupil, in 1992, I was there fairly frequently.

[Wood Green Crown Court, North London]

Both defendants were in custody, having been refused bail prior to trial.

The evidence against the defendants was non-existent, save for that “found” in the car. There was no cctv evidence, no fingerprint evidence, no DNA evidence (this was in 1992, and such evidence was still in its infancy). The (apparently) diminutive Indian cashier in the petrol station had been terrified, and gave no testimony. Neither did the defendants.

Despite the paucity of evidence, the jury came back with “Guilty” verdicts. There was a moment of silence. A member of the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad then gave the judge a rundown of the previous most relevant convictions of the defendants. The judge knew most of that already, as did Counsel, but of course the jury did not. There were gasps as the long list of increasingly-serious convictions was read out, topped finally by the information that the defendants still faced another upcoming trial in which they would stand accused (at the Old Bailey) of conspiring to rob building society branches, armed with sawn-off shotguns.

The judge listened patiently while, for 20 minutes, little twerp barrister attempted to mitigate. My pupilmaster declined to attempt any mitigation. The judge then sentenced the two to exactly the same term— 5 years each.

Another moment of silence preceded an explosion from the dock (behind us) as the defendants shouted out (to the jury) “YOU DOGS! YOU FUCKING WHITE DOGS!“.

The jury members (in fact not all white, there being one black woman and at least one Indian) quailed; I thought that one woman jury member might faint or cry out, though she bravely sat it out. The little twerp Counsel looked nervously over his shoulder, as did my pupilmaster. I had also looked round as the outburst had happened, but now pretended to be writing (in order to seem stoic, I think, pointless and perhaps ludicrous as that was).

The defendants then tried to fight their way out of and over the dock. The judge pressed his concealed button but stayed seated. His face was that “Judicial Livid” (red/purple) that I later saw once or twice at the High Court when a judge did not wholly appreciate my argument…

After a lot of banging, thudding, and swearing, the defendants were subdued by the two prison guards accompanying them. Other court security people then entered the courtroom. The defendants were taken down (to the cells below).

Just a day in the life, as they say.

Much of the “counter-terror” stuff in the UK is a fake, and a cover for repression of opinion unwanted by and disapproved by the System, or by special-interest groups such as —and mainly— the Jew-Zionist cabals (malicious nuisances such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, a kind of volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in the UK).

More “trans” nonsense. Why are so few people, even now, pointing out the sheer oddness of the fact that an absolute tidal wave of this stuff has crashed over the UK in, mainly, the past few years? What is happening? What is being encouraged to happen? What is behind it all?

I do not say “never believe the experts“, but the fact is that they (and, more so yet, scribblers pretending to be expert) are usually wrong, especially when they try to predict the future, or when unexpected events happen.

Examples? Professor Lindemann [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Lindemann,_1st_Viscount_Cherwell], Churchill’s scientific guru, thought that rockets as weapons could never work unless huge and propelled by solid fuel. Shortly after that, the V-1 and then V-2 rockets started to explode in and around London and elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket.

The recent “Covid” “panicdemic” showed up ignorance of the supposed experts of the so-called SAGE committee (I called it “DUMB”— Department Under Matt and Boris).

There are, actually hundreds of similar examples, especially if you move from scientific-milieu examples to those of politics and economics. Lenin thought that the Bolsheviks would come to power when the 1905 “Revolution” (uprising) was taking place. Wrong… and Lenin did not think that the Tsarist state of Russia would fall as a result of the first (Spring) Revolution of 1917. Wrong again…

Probably a poor-looking place even before the destruction, but these were people’s homes, now blasted by some of the war crimes of the Israeli military machine.

At first, I myself believed that the 2022 devastation in Bucha (a small township or suburb very close to, or effectively part of, Kiev) was a real event, albeit one committed by poorly-disciplined allies of Russia (Chechens etc). It is claimed that hundreds of civilians were killed and/or tortured.

Now, I wonder whether it ever happened at all (as reported). The much-photographed devastation seems to have been mainly in one small section of a single street; burnt-out Russian vehicles, destroyed single-storey houses etc. Hard to get to the truth. It may lie somewhere in the middle.

She seems to be mentally disturbed, and/or perhaps a drug-abuser. God help the USA (and Europe) if that crazed woman becomes U.S. President.

Her Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley] contains a couple of interesting facts. Turns out that she is an Indian (Sikh), and that her personal wealth, estimated at USD $1M in 2018, had jumped to USD $8M only 2-3 years later, in 2021. How?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12896277/Vietnamese-restaurant-killed-300-cats-month-make-cat-soup-closes-good.html.

A restaurant that drowned three hundred cats a month to fuel Vietnam’s cruel meat trade has been closed for good.

The Gia Bảo restaurant in Thai Nguyen city, in the country’s northeast, ran a lucrative trade selling cats, likely including stolen pets, drowned in a bucket one after another.

For five years, Pham Quoc Doanh, 37, ran the establishment after struggling to feed his family selling ‘other normal food and drinks’.

‘It was then I tried selling cat meat since there was no other available restaurant serving this in the area,’ he told Metro.

Doanh reached out to the Humane Society International, campaigning to ban the trade in Vietnam, who offered him a one-time grant to set up a grocery store instead.

On December 6, he symbolically tore down the banners outside his slaughterhouse and restaurant and began a new life. 

‘For a while now I have felt a genuine desire to leave the cruel cat meat business and switch to something else as soon as possible. When I think of all the thousands of cats I’ve slaughtered and served up here over the years, it’s upsetting,’ he said.

‘Cat theft is so common in Vietnam that I know many of the cats sold here were someone’s loved family companion, and I feel very sorry about that.’

An estimated one million cats are killed each year for their meat in Vietnam, according to the charity – despite 71 per cent of the population favouring a ban.

[Daily Mail]

Well, my opinion of Vietnam has never been very high (I admit that I have never actually been there), but at least 71% of the population apparently want this trade banned, and they do seem (from what I read today) to be taking steps in the right direction.

Talking point

Political drones and mouthpieces such as Indian money-juggler Sunak are effectively signed-up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, and the destruction or deformation of what is left of our white European societies (in Europe, in North America, in Australasia etc).

Statements such as the above are designed purely to mitigate the upcoming destruction of the Conservative Party (again, what is left of it) at the 2024 General Election.

If Sunak can get the nationwide Con Party vote up from its present (opinion poll) 20%, to 30% at the 2024 General Election, then the Con Party will survive, as will the fraudulent UK binary political system.

Note, though, who Sunak (impliedly) blames for the migration invasion— Putin! Not the “LibLabCon”-men and women who have encouraged non-white immigration to the UK for the past 50-60 years, and not “them” (((the usual suspects))), aka (((the “you know who”))), but Putin, the System’s current favourite msm ogre.

In any case, the Rwanda policy, if ever implemented, would deal with only a fraction of the “illegal” invaders, and none of the “legal” ones, so would only reduce the migration-invasion from maybe a million invaders per year (700,000+ “net”) to maybe 950,000 (650,000+ “net”), at best.

It comes just hours after protesters gathered outside the Ross Lake House hotel, Rosscahill, amid concerns about migrants in the area.

[I think that that should be “Garda” not “Gardai“, but I may be mistaken].

Incidentally, last Friday I was in a medium-size UK city. Not far from the centre of the city. A street with a Tesco Express, a Starbucks, estate agencies, various professional offices etc. All that, and —at about 0800 hrs— a number of people still sleeping in the streets in sleeping bags, blankets etc. Terrible (both in itself and aesthetically).

I had a mediocre cappuccino and croissant in the nearby Starbucks, until the horrible “music” drove me out. I thought to give a coin to a fellow in a shop doorway who had evidently woken up while I was in the Starbucks place (it hardly merited the title, “cafe”). A white Englishman aged maybe 30-something, or 40, maybe an ex-soldier, who growled “thanks, mate” as I pressed a £2 coin into his hand, suggesting that he buy himself a drink (probably not the best thing I could have said).

As I walked away, and about 50 feet further on, a black woman without most of her teeth (drug abuser?) accosted me and started on a story about how she wanted to get into a shelter but needed £20. I told her that I did not have £20, but felt in my pocket for another coin; a 50p was the only one. I gave it to her, and she took my modest offering without a word of thanks as I departed.

Britain’s cities in 2023…

My point (apart from just reporting what I experienced) is that neither of the two people I encountered was a migrant-invader (both spoke with British accents), and both were sleeping in the streets, in winter. Had they been migrant-invaders, they would have been in hotels paid for by the Government (i.e. by UK taxpayers). They would have been sheltered, fed, and given pocket money of (?) about £40 a week (the exact amount seems to vary), as well as provided with transport, medical and dental services, even online services.

How can this be right? Also, if another million immigrants arrive in 2024, and another in 2025 (etc), and even if “only” about 50,000 a year are small boat invaders asking for or demanding help, how is this situation sustainable? Answer— it isn’t.

[Update, 18 December 2023: it occurs to me that readers may object that the black woman mentioned was also a kind of migrant-invader, even if born in the UK. True in essence, but my point was that she had not just “got off the boat”; I should have been clearer].

Why then has the “Conservative” Party colluded with others to import millions of non-Europeans, many since 2010?

Weasel words to try to stave off electoral disaster in 2024.

However, when pressed by the interviewer as to policies he thinks will win the support of the voters, all Francois could come up with were two: getting rid of inheritance tax, and spending more on defence.

Inheritance tax only impacts a tiny number of people anyway, all of whom already vote Conservative.

As to Defence, which Francois (military background— a year reading War Studies for a Master’s degree, and 3-4 years in the TA, final rank Lieutenant) thinks will be a huge issue next year, that again is not something which most voters think is important.

Our armed forces are now quite weak, and very small, but our traditional enemies (Germany, France, maybe Denmark and the Netherlands —going back 300 years or more—) are now not enemies or potential enemies. The larger potential opponents (Russia, China) are so powerful that the UK could not think of fighting them, and anyway they are far away, and the UK has only limited air/sea transport capability.

The armed forces have shown themselves incapable even of preventing migration-invasion, let alone any real one (which would come from…where?).

For me, Francois’ remarks are a measure of how out of touch with the people the Conservative Party now is. He has no idea; the Conservative Party has no idea.

Listening to Francois trying to express what his preference for “overall narrative” of his party would be just underlines the sheer mediocrity (at best) of so many MPs now.

More and more Americans believe it’s okay to be racist against WHITE people – and segregation is getting worse

On the night of her election as Boston’s first Asian mayor, Michelle Wu proclaimed defiantly: ‘We are ready to become a Boston for everyone. We’re ready to become a Boston that doesn’t push people out, but welcomes all who call our city home.’

It was a rallying cry for unity and inclusion from a young, idealistic politician who was determined the capital city of New England should shed its conservative image and embrace its increasing ethnic diversity.

But two years later, Wu is in the extraordinary position of herself being accused of racism after hosting a Christmas party on Wednesday night exclusively for ‘non-white’ members of the city council.

Her decision has stoked a nationwide row over ‘reverse racism’ and exposed once again a deeply polarised American electorate that once put Donald Trump in the White House because they shared his contempt for wokeness, and may well do so again.

…it dawned on the seven white councillors that not only had they been disinvited to the bash, but they were never supposed to be there in the first place due to the colour of their skin.

…for others the hypocrisy sweeping the U.S. is no laughing matter. A country where racial discrimination is technically illegal is seeing an increasing number of schools, universities and large businesses creating ‘safe spaces’ where ethnic minorities can ‘escape white oppression’.

There have even been calls for black people to get racially-segregated ‘safe spaces’ outdoors so they can enjoy activities such as hiking and camping without suffering ‘harassment’ and ‘trauma’ from white people, while also subverting stereotypes that African-Americans don’t enjoy such pursuits.

In the words of one Boston ‘anti-racist’ academic, Ibram X Kendi, (whose work on deeply divisive ‘critical race theory’ is studied religiously in schools and colleges): ‘The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.’

In short, it’s entirely fair or ‘equitable’ that the boot is now on the other foot. It’s OK to be racist against white people.

In 2021, a school district in Wellesley, Massachusetts, reportedly excluded white students from a ‘healing space’ after shootings in which eight students — six of them Asian-Americans — were killed. The email announcing the event read: ‘*Note: This is a safe space for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, *not* for students who identify only as White.’

In the same year, black mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot — under huge pressure over her city’s appalling black-on-black murder rate — announced she wouldn’t allow white journalists to interview her on the two-year anniversary of her inauguration.

South Korea-born technology writer Sarah Jeong was hired by the Left-wing New York Times as a member of its prestigious ‘editorial board’ of senior writers.

But then critics found some of her old tweets on white people and they weren’t a pretty sight. ‘Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like grovelling goblins,’ she wrote.

In another, she confided: ‘It’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.’

Others included ‘#cancelwhitepeople’, ‘f*** white women lol’ and ‘White people have stopped breeding. You’ll all go extinct soon. This was my plan all along.’

Opponents snorted with derision. Try substituting ‘whites’ in her tweets for ‘Jews’ or ‘blacks’, they said, and imagine what the famously self-important newspaper’s response would have been.

Whatever sanitised image of integration Hollywood puts out to the world, this is a country divided: across state lines, income disparities and, without doubt, by a racially-charged culture war. More and more Americans believe it’s okay to be racist against WHITE people – and segregation is getting worse.”

For generations, they have been as much a part of the Christmas tradition as roast turkey and mistletoe.

But this year’s school nativity plays are repackaging the birth of Jesus as reality TV shows – with names based on programmes such as The Great British Bake Off and Strictly Come Dancing.

Deliberately-planned reverse cultural appropriation, or cultural trashing, if you like.

True, but frankly I very much doubt that Starmer, in hock to the Jewish/Israel lobby, and who went down on one knee before the black mob of “Black Lives Matter”, will be able to do much better, even if he gets his 200, 300, or even 500-seat, House of Commons majority.

Starmer may “stop the boats” by the simple expedient of allowing almost all the non-European parasites, scavengers, and predators in “legally”. After all, Starmer was a legal weasel for many years.

As to crimes unpunished, I have seen what happens in my own local and County area: real crime not even properly investigated, while fake “crime”, “thought crime”, “online comment crime”, is a, perhaps the, major preoccupation of absurd police people playing at “counter-terrorism” etc. Much of that is influenced by the Jewish/Israel lobby, and Starmer is completely in (((their))) pocket.

I see no real principle in Starmer, just a wish to exercise power for no obvious reason or objectives, unless it is to carry out the wishes of the transnational conspiracy.

In a way, Starmer might be better to stay almost invisible, as in the past year or so, but he must think that he has to begin to be noticed, as the next general election approaches. Anyway, barring the rather or very wealthy, and those elderly people who are die-hard and lifelong “Conservative”-label voters (perhaps 15%-20% of all voters), who really is going to vote “Conservative” next year? Starmer and Labour are almost certainly going to win by default.

Jesus H. Christ! It’s just treachery, in plain sight. Not those two individuals; the System itself.

At Dover, of all places. That must be deliberate. This country is riddled with traitors, many in influential positions in politics, law, mass media and police forces.

Hard to argue with that tweet, whatever your views on the migration invasion.

Goodwin forgets that, if said “populist” parties are not anti-Zionist in the widest sense, and social-national, they are and will be a waste of time and space.

Obvious, but still obviously true.

I hope that those involved in my recent prosecution and conviction for speaking the truth are paying attention.

As Marx predicted, at least impliedly.
