[“In Zelensky’s Ukraine, where the population lives in fear of the SBU and forced mobilization, real protests are impossible. Men hide from military recruiters, and women avoid drawing attention to them. Under such conditions, the only protests that can happen in Ukraine are those organized by the government and controlled by the SBU. The latest “protest” outside the U.S. Embassy was fully staged and carried out by the SBU’s Department for National Statehood Protection (DZND) – the department responsible for orchestrating such operations.
SBU Chief Vasyl Maliuk oversees this department.
His deputy, Sergiy Andryushchenko, directly manages it.
Operations are executed by Directorate “M,” led by Andrey Salenkov.
Field operatives: Pelts, Klimuk. The irony is that one of the main sources of funding for the SBU’s actions – including these anti-U.S. protests – comes from American financial aid. In other words, protests against the U.S. Embassy and American policy were literally funded by U.S. taxpayers. Just like U.S. funds were used to build the SBU concentration camp “GYM” and to abduct and murder American citizen Gonzalo Lira.“]

While I am scarcely “pro-farmer” as such, it is clear that the main reason Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves are going after the farmers is because farming in this country is still, almost exclusively, something pursued by white, i.e. English/British people. One of the few areas of life left. Even the Bar, and the Army and Navy, are increasingly non-white.
Starmer-Labour have a fanatical desire to destroy all areas of real Englishness/Britishness left.

Incredible. Fascinating. On the one hand, I commend the research, but on the other the moral question of whether it can be justified to destroy the city and its inhabitants is troubling.

The drones were, according to local eyewitnesses, launched not far from their targets. I presume that the FSB (Federal Security Service) will be trying to apprehend and question the drone-launchers.
There may come a time when Putin or those around him decide that the only real obstacle in their path is the city of Kiev. Were Kiev to cease to exist, or be almost destroyed, that would be the end of the Kiev regime militarily, economically, and in pretty much every other way. Of course, the destruction of a city of the size of Kiev would be a tremendous and terrible crime from the humanitarian point of view, a crime on the scale of, indeed on a larger scale than, the WW2 attacks on Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima etc by the Anglo-American air forces.

Toby Young is a hypocritical fake, in short.

The delays in the court system have been caused in various ways. One is closure of smaller courts. Many county courts where I myself appeared 1992-1996 and 2002-2008 are now no more; Ilford, Penzance, Poole, Bedford, Bodmin, Bow, Trowbridge, Bromley and (I think) Yeovil among them. Even more magistrates’ courts have closed, and some Crown Courts, including some in London (and in which I also appeared at times, especially in the early 1990s).
Actually, the abuse of the legal system by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is slightly mitigated by the present delays. For example, after the “CAA” managed to get the dim Hampshire Police and the clueless “Clown” Prosecution Service (CPS Wessex, based at Winchester) to charge me by post in early 2023, the trial (despite being only in the magistrates’ court) did not take place until mid-November 2023, and the sentencing hearing was not held until mid-March 2024. Had the trial been one on a more weighty basis, requiring Crown Court trial, I should be now still awaiting my “day in court”; in fact, it might not have even happened. Many Crown Court trials are never effective, never take place.
The legal adage is “justice delayed is justice denied“. Often true, but in terms of the present repression of free speech, one could say “injustice delayed is injustice denied“…

The continuing abuse of the UK legal system by the Jew-Zionist troublemakersknown as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”
I happened to see the following tweet put out by the malicious and troublemaking “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, whose chief spokesperson, “Slitherman”, despite having been exposed (by the carelessness of the CAA’s own lawyer, and in open court) some years ago as a serial and sadistic online troller of people, especially women, is often featured on the “no one watches” Talk TV online outlet, GB News, and even Sky News, as well as LBC radio, all msm outlets under the (((usual))) influence, of course:

[“A warrant has been issued for Reginald D. Hunter to attend court in relation to a private prosecution brought by CAA. Mr Hunter is charged with three offences under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, relating to posts on X that he allegedly published in September 2024. The first hearing took place today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, but Mr Hunter failed to appear. A warrant has now been issued for him to attend court on a future date. This is one of a number of private prosecutions that CAA is bringing, and there will be more to say on the case in due course.”]
That seems (in view of the date mentioned) likely to relate to events in 2024 described in a few previous blog posts:
Much of the background can probably be found in those blog posts.
As regular readers of the blog will know, the malicious “CAA” troublemakers, liars, and perjurers (who are disowned even by most Jews, even by most Jew-Zionists, in this country), and (connected by supporters and /or members, though not formally) “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], have been gunning for me over the past 11-14 years: see
The right of individuals and organizations to bring private prosecutions, once, in practice, mainly the preserve of bodies such as the RSPCA and RSPB, is now being abused, mainly by tendentious political organizations such as the fake charity, the “CAA”.
The “CAA” is basically a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London. It has been, for about a decade, conducting both harassment and “lawfare” against individuals and bodies it considers anti-Israel and/or “antisemitic”.
So far, apart from me —not privately-prosecuted, the “CAA” having somehow suborned police and Crown Prosecution Service [“CPS”] personnel in order to have me prosecuted by direct police/CPS action (see blog posts above)— the CAA has harassed such as the famous David Icke, the (half-Jewish) jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, former footballer and TV pundit Gary Lineker, Al Jazeera TV, the BBC and its reporters, and many others, and has in the past privately prosecuted the satirical singer, Alison Chabloz, whose case was then taken over officially by the CPS.
Private prosecutions can be taken over by the CPS either on its own initiative or upon application by either the private prosecutors or the defendant(s). The CPS can then either stop the prosecution, or take it over and continue it officially.
The “CAA” seems to have had plenty of money donated to it, either by wealthy Jews in the UK, or from Israel. Indeed, their latest “lawfare” abuse follows on from their long-running attempt to recruit a competent lawyer as “General Counsel” (they love important titles— “Slitherman” is called “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”…):
Other “CAA” staff members have also been recruited recently.
The “CAA” usually tries (as in my own free speech trial) to use/abuse the notorious “bad law” of Communications Act 2003, s.127, which was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission, but which (so far) remains on the statute book mainly because Jew-Zionist organizations (principally the “CAA”) made representations, via “friendly” MPs and corrupt members of the House of Lords, to the effect that the provision should not be repealed (during the quite recent passage of the Online Harms Act).
This type of “lawfare” should be prohibited. It is a flagrant abuse of the English legal system.
Incidentally, the “two Israelis” mentioned in the report of the Daily Mail are the two dishonest Jew-Zionist fanatics mentioned in the blog posts above, in fact, that is “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and Mandy Blumenthal (his wife/carer), acting together with Daily Mail scribbler Sabrina Miller to create a contrived “incident”.
It is pretty clear why the abusive and malicious “CAA” cabal is now trying once more to bring private prosecutions. The police and CPS are now, more than heretofore, aware of the CAA’s “lawfare” abuse, and are less and less willing to take the contrived “CAA” complaints at face value. Ergo, with the CPS and even the fairly clueless police unwilling to be used as “CAA” puppets, the “CAA” has had to shift for itself.
Successful defendants to private prosecutions have the right to ask for the costs of their defence, which may be, in some cases, very substantial, by the way.
That made me laugh. Liz Truss is ancient history, politically (in the real Britain outside John Rentoul’s Westminster Bubble). I doubt that many voters care about any similarity between Farage’s economic views and those of already-near-forgotten Liz Truss.
As for whether the (non-existent) “books” or statistics “add up”, the people have had so much of all that nonsense wash over them for 15-20 years that it makes little or no impact.
People want to stamp on both Labour and Conservative parties. They know in their hearts that those System parties have to go, whatever the flaws of Farage and his Reform UK party.
Broadcasters should not use jargon phrases such as "read-out". Such terms are baffling to the vast majority of viewers & listeners – & probably to quite a few journalists. They give the impression that senior journalists are part of an elite club with its own language.
Just a Westminster Bubble club, which has as its main aim (together with personal careerism) amplifying the System message(s)…

Since the general election, Farage's support among Tory voters has rocketed from 25% to 33%.
Among Brexit voters has nearly doubled to 54%.
Among the working-class has surged from 20% to nearly 40%.
It is not a pro-Farage vote, or even pro-Reform vote, as such, but neither is it a “protest vote”. It is a seriously-angry vote against the System parties, their smug freeloading politicians, and about everything now going very very wrong in this country, and against the key cause (of several connected causes)— mass immigration, the trashing of a white European country, and turning that country into a black/brown/Chinese/God-knows-what dystopian mess.

Not 100% accurate. I was not imprisoned after my free speech trial ended in conviction in November 2023 (sentence passed in March 2024). I was not even given a suspended sentence. I was given a financial penalty (fine and costs) amounting to about £740, and a “community order” of 15 “rehabilitation days” over 9 months, which in the end was finished (effectively though not officially) after about 5 months, and which basically consisted in my having about 6 or 7 chats (from 20 minutes to over 2 hours in duration, mostly about 30 minutes or so) with a rather charming and polite young lady from the Probation Service.
From time to time, the British Army comes up with crazy mavericks of Kemp’s sort. Orde Wingate. “Mad Mitch” Mitchell. Others. They rarely get to the higher ranks, though Kemp (pro-Israel to the hilt— quelle surprise…) did make full colonel, “Mad Mitch” Mitchell reached half-colonel, and Wingate was made up to major-general during WW2 (though at one point demoted to major).
Should Ukraine ever be in possession of nuclear weapons, Russia would have no choice but to destroy them using its own nuclear weapons (as Israel seems to want to do to Iran). Colonel Kemp is mad to suggest such an idea (which, however, will never happen).

Nearly every threatened libel action relating to Palestine circulating around Labour Party 2015-2019, had a reference to Mr Lewis. pic.twitter.com/8qukKw1SJ2
The above tweet hits the nail on the head. Lewis has been puffed (as “foremost libel lawyer” etc) for years by a Jewish and/or pro-Israel cabal in the UK mass media, certainly since 2012, when the bastard started to (try to) persecute me. Connections included “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and its chief spokesperson, “Slitherman”.
12-14 years ago, Lewis was often seen being interviewed on TV (in relation to the now almost forgotten UK “phonehacking” scandal) and a few very simple defamation cases, notably one involving Katie Hopkins and “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas), the fraudulent “Bootstrap Cook”, since exposed as a dishonest “grifter”.
Jewish scribblers in, for example, the Daily Mail (and other newspapers), made sure to give Lewis favourable coverage, as when he married Z-list one-time sort-of “celebrity” (she read the news on Sky for a while, about 25 years ago) Caroline Feraday (who joined with Lewis in attacking me on Twitter), and relocated with her to Los Angeles, but somehow there was no Press coverage at all when the marriage fell to pieces within a year, and Lewis had to return to the UK alone and broke.
I covered all this in my blog articles about the egregious Lewis, a few of which I shall post below.
The same happened when Lewis was “convicted” at the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal [“SDT”] for a few of his many social media abuses. There was almost no coverage at all. “They” (((they))) covered it up. Even when it leaked out, and he was found guilty, it was spun along the lines of “the Tribunal chose to support Nazis, not a Jew defending himself” (a gross distortion of the truth).
Incidentally, Lewis was such a successful libel lawyer and “reputation specialist” that his own Counsel, in addressing the Tribunal in mitigation, stressed that any fine should be reduced to a modest amount because Lewis was “someone without any means“, and “whose only assets are his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension valued at £70 per week.”…
In fact, it seems that Lewis did have one other asset, but one that seems to have been dishonestly concealed from the Tribunal— a flat in Eilat, Israel.
[nb: that picture of Lewis is from around 2012. He is now virtually unable to stand up, by reason of multiple sclerosis, and many think that his mental faculties, never as acute as his supporters would have people believe, are now in steep decline.]
Patron Law still claim Lewis is the UK’s foremost media, libel and privacy lawyer.
The reality is that Lewis is clueless and a danger to his clients.

Graham is one of the worst puppets of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby in the Senate (though amid many others). One has to ask why the Israel puppets in the USA, in the UK, in France etc, always support the Kiev regime…
[Bishop Rock Lighthouse, Scilly Isles. I visited the Rock on a small boat once, aged 9 or maybe just 10, in September 1966. The sea-state was a dead calm that day, though. The lighthouse is now automated, like all others in the UK; in 1966, there were still three lighthouse-keepers; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_Rock]
That idiot, Brian Coleman, says in another tweet (by his co-pannelist, Tessa Dunlop), that he “used to be important” and is now “a has-been“. The second point may be so, the first only if you think that having been, long ago, a councillor in the Borough of Barnet (North London) and/or a member of the London Assembly, is “important“.
Wikipedia does mention Coleman’s membership of Conservative Friends of Israel, and his numerous instances of intemperate and violent behaviour, for at least one of which he was convicted of assault (though given a remarkably lenient sentence, on the facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Coleman#Conviction_for_assault).
Coleman was also a pretty bad expenses-blodger.
One wonders why the Jeremy Vine Show is interested in the comments of such people. His claim that Farage is and Reform UK is a “sideshow” shows Coleman’s complete lack of political nous. He says that he is old enough to remember the SDP, and how, after riding high in opinion polls, it imploded after less than a year in 1981.
He seems to think that the voters will somehow go back to the “Conservatives”. Really? I doubt it.
Yes, I too recall the SDP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_(UK)], I being nearly 5 years older than Coleman. The reasons for its failure were several, but to my mind the main one was that its policies were pretty much the same as those (much of) the Labour Party, the Liberal Party, and even the non-Thatcherite part of the Conservative Party.
Another point is that the SDP (rumps of which struggled on until 1988) was led by people who were the opposite of charismatic.
Leaving aside policy, the key difference between the SDP in 1981 and Reform UK in 2025, 44 years later, is the surrounding socio-political background. While the UK in 1981 was suffering from mass immigration, and on a large scale, the scale of that immigration was still minor compared to that of the past 25 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_immigration_to_the_United_Kingdom.
In fact, even that alarming graph does not tell the true or full story. For one thing, the pre-1945 figures would include those white/English/British people born in parts of the British Empire; also those born in various parts of mainland Europe.
Again, the later parts of that graph, showing a steep rise, are yet not entirely showing the true racial/ethnic picture, because huge numbers of blacks, browns, Chinese etc (or half so) are now being born here in the UK to parents either recent immigrants or themselves born here, and those millions are not “foreign born” in that sense.
Not even just migration-invasion; also migration-occupation.
Another point is that living standards, though suffering a blip in the early 1980s recession, were not steadily declining, as is now the case for most people. Also, society had not collapsed in other ways in 1981, or the later 1980s, contrary to what is now the case. The monarchy, armed forces, educational standards, police, courts etc were still broadly as they had been for decades, indeed to a fairly large extent as they had been since late-Victorian times. Look now!
As to Parliament itself, it may have been flawed in 1981, but still worked more or less as it had done for the preceding century. MPs had not become total “grifters” and expenses-blodgers, because that system was not yet in place to the extent it later was.
Also, MPs were mostly either from trade union or teaching/academic backgrounds (Labour) or armed forces/landowning/business backgrounds (Conservative). A different ethos. For most of them, politics was a field they had come into from somewhere else. The present-day MPs are, many of them along the lines of: Oxford/Cambridge PPE or similar degree, political adviser, a bit of fake charity work maybe, maybe a bit of local councillor activity, then MP. Result— rubbish.
In a word, the voters are very angry with the state of everything in this country. They know Farage is a bit of a snake-oil salesman, they know Reform UK MPs are unpolished, inexperienced etc (and have not had the training of many System MPs). The voters, however, are voting in anger against the System parties rather than for Reform as such. They know that Reform is merely the best of a bad bunch. They are voting for change, too, not for specific Reform policies. Indeed, in supporting remigration/repatriation etc, the voters are well ahead of Reform UK, well ahead of Farage, well ahead of Matt Goodwin.
In other words, that Coleman character has completely misread the situation.

When it comes to small shopkeepers, it is different. The shoplifting upsurge really is hurting them.
The problem with making “minor” thefts punishable by harsh penalties is that it blurs the distinction between minor and major crimes, as in early 19thC England: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_Kingdom#Background. The adage was “hanged for a penny, hanged for a pound” (not completely accurate— the threshold triggering the death penalty was in fact, until 1832, not one penny but 12 pence, i.e. one shilling).
Incidentally, shoplifting did attract the death penalty 200 years ago, if the value of the goods stolen was high enough.

This is neither the time nor the place to delve deeply into the Gay Paree scene, to which only Noel Coward could do justice. My YouTube channel, on the other hand, allows me to penetrate more deeply into the hard partying of Emmanuel Macron and his circle of elite and very handsome gays, including Gabriel Attal, whom he appointed as Prime Minister and who now heads up his (political) party in the National Assembly, and the renowned counter tenor Philippe Jaroussky.

More about vicious pro-Israel social media troll Pete Newbon
Many readers will know something about Pete Newbon, the social media troll who committed suicide during the civil trial in which he was one of three defendants, Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor.
Newbon had neglected to tell his wife about his activities and about his (then upcoming) defeat in that case, which meant that she would have been unaware that their family home was on the line, largely because Newbon and the other defendants had been misled, either deliberately or negligently, by the Jew-Zionist solicitors and Counsel in the case, in particular the egregious self-publicist, Israel-based Jewish solicitor, Mark Lewis (re Lewis, see blog posts passim via the blog’s search box).
The political site Skwawkbox has now published more material about Newbon:
Well, this week a clear victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He claims 5.5/10, whereas I scored 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 10.
“Benjamin Netanyahu was accused of slander and pursuing a war without end after he claimed the leaders of France, Canada and the UK were stoking antisemitism and siding with Hamas by demanding he end the two-month blockade of food and aid into Gaza.“
“In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.
“I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others,” Netanyahu said.
“I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”
[Guardian]
So now even Starmer-stein and Macron, both egregious puppets of the worldwide Jew-Zionist lobby and Israel, arecalled “antisemitic“! Carney, too, a former Goldman Sachs and central banker who is himself believed to be part-Jew (though his background is mainly Irish).
Is this the peak of such “gaslighting”? We in the UK have seen, for years now, the raucous Jew-Zionist lobby saying that almost anything not slavishly pro-Israel is “antisemitic”. The malicious and dishonest so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] has been in the forefront of it all, making false accusations about people to police and professional regulators, and spreading its poisonous propaganda on Sky News, GB News, the “does anyone actually watch?” Talk TV online outlet, and even the BBC.
Apart from that, imagine the lack of self-knowledge it takes for Netanyahu to accuse the admittedly unpleasant Hamas organization of being “mass murderers“, “baby killers” etc when the Hamas attack on Israel in late 2023 killed some thousand or so Jews and others (though many were in fact killed by the brutal Israeli forces themselves when the latter were killing Hamas operatives, and the Israeli victims seem to have “got in the way”) but when the Israeli retaliation in Gaza has killed anywhere between 150,000 and 200,000, mostly civilians rather than Hamas personnel.
In other words, in terms of numbers, the Israeli forces have killed between 150 and 200 Gazans for every one Israeli Jew killed during the 2023 incursion by Hamas personnel into southern Israel.
The Gazan population has been bombed, firebombed, attacked with white phosphorus, attacked with flamethrowers, shot at from the air and ground, rolled over by Israeli tanks, and killed also by an embargo on medical supplies and even food and water.
About half, more than half, of the victims of the Israeli forces in Gaza have been women and children, a huge proportion of the latter having been under the age of 12 (so not teenage fighters, of which Hamas seems to have few anyway); many of the victims have been babies, indeed. Netanyahu should look in the mirror, if he can bear it.
Incidentally, most of the original Israeli victims of the 2023 incursion were adults, and most were members of the Israeli armed forces, police, or other security orgs.
As previously blogged, if the Hamas operatives of 2023 were in part monstrous, indeed if the Palestinian Arabs generally are sometimes monstrous, then they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the actions and behaviour of Israel, and its supporters and facilitators elsewhere. Jews across the world raise money for Israel, including money specifically raised for the Israeli armed forces.
Are we coming to the point at which the “Western” world will (start to) throw off the shroud of (((control))) over Western economies, legal professions, politicians, newspapers, TV, radio etc, which (((control))) has become ever-heavier over the last 150 years, and particularly since the disastrous end of the Second World War in 1945?
Israel itself was founded on a foundation of mass murder and ethnic cleansing. The karma taken on by Israel and its population (and its supporters in the West) is very heavy, and gets heavier daily.
“Labour blocks proposal for ‘swift bricks’ in all new homes
MPs had previously backed Conservative amendment to ask developers to provide hollow bricks for endangered birds
Providing every new home with at least one “swift brick” to help endangered cavity-nesting birds has been rejected by Labour at the committee stage of its increasingly controversial planning bill.
The amendment to the bill to ask every developer to provide a £35 hollow brick for swifts, house martins, sparrows and starlings, which was tabled by Labour MP Barry Gardiner, has been rejected by the Labour-dominated committee.
Despite the Labour party having supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023, housing minister, Matthew Pennycook, told the House of Commons committee: “We are not convinced that legislating to mandate the use of specific wildlife features is the right approach, whether that is done through building regulations or a freestanding legal requirement.“
A new petition calling for swift bricks to be made mandatory for new homes has rapidly reached 80,000 signatures in recent days, two years after activist Hannah Bourne-Taylor won a parliamentary debate to help the rapidly declining migratory birds after 109,896 voters signed a government petition.
Bourne-Taylor said there appeared to be “no logic” to the government’s opposition to swift bricks when they precisely meet its ambition of creating win-wins for the economy and nature.
“They are going to be building millions of bricks into walls. I don’t understand why there’s such a problem with a brick with a hole in it. It seems ludicrous,” she said. “Why say your new legislation is a win-win for new homes and the environment and exclude the only measure that is a true win-win?
“They are tone-deaf. This is such a tiny thing they could do, but it’s brewing such a distrust and sense of betrayal among the people who voted for them.”
[Guardian]
Such an easy way in which to help those birds and the environment generally, and now fake Labour has ruined it.
The Labour Party is now fake, evil, and deserving of being stamped into the ground.
As for that Pennycook bastard, he seems to be a typical Labour MP of 2025, a “beggar on horseback”, i.e. a careerist from a very modest background, determined to climb the greasy pole, with neither ideas nor ideals, and completely unprincipled.
By reason of the repression of free speech in this country, I cannot say what I might hope will happen to most System MPs.

"Only 15 per cent of Brits, according to Opinium, last week, think the number of immigrants in Britain is ‘about right’, while close to 70 per cent say it’s ‘too high’."https://t.co/9Ab0mUOqge
Ironic. The System politicians and msm recently lined up to mention the possibility that Britain might have been invaded in 1940, yet pretended not to notice a real invasion that is happening right under their noses, and literally under the noses of the spectators of that Dunkirk tribute show.
As to why Britain was never actually under real threat of invasion in 1940, there were numerous reasons. First of all, Hitler wanted to rule much of the world in alliance with the British Empire; he did not want war with Britain; Britain, i.e. Neville Chamberlain’s Cabinet, declared war on Germany in 1939 and, after mid-1940, his successor, Churchill, was unwilling to consider an armistice.
Hitler was weighing what became the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. He did not wan t a two-front war.
Hitler allowed most of the British Army soldiers in the Dunkirk area to escape (my own maternal grandfather one of them). Hitler refused to allow the Luftwaffe and tank columns to destroy that army, the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force or BEF. German ground forces were halted outside Dunkirk by Hitler’s own order (Fuhrerbefehl).
Secondly, the Germans never had enough barge and ship capacity to ferry an army of sufficient size across the Channel.
Thirdly, the Luftwaffe could not guarantee air superiority; neither could the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine much defend any forces ferried across.
Reverting to today’s real invasion, it continues, day after day, and nothing of importance is being done to stop, or even slow, the flow.
If only Britain had been in loose alliance with the Reich. We would have been, today, the rulers of much of the world, and that world would have been a better and happier place by reason of it. The usual evil (((influence))) prevented it from happening. Instead, we sit on our small and beleaguered island, invaded daily by trash from all over the world, we are individually poorer with every passing day and, with every passing day, our society falls apart, more and more.
I wonder how long it will be before there is little that is worthwhile left. At the age of 68, I may not see the ultimate depths of the degradation of Britain, thank God, and I am doing what little I presently can, in my present situation, to avoid the catastrophe, but see around me a society running around like a headless chicken, scarcely aware that it is already, in effect, dead, or at least mortally wounded.
I may, by Grace of God, be able to do more. We shall see. That is a matter of Fate. If the existing society cannot be saved, it may be that seeds can be planted in the rotting corruption, seeds which may germinate at a later time in history.

As one might expect from scribbler Allison Pearson, she has missed at least one point. It is actually irrelevant whether someone’s views are considered “racist” (an almost-meaningless term).
My views now, and when I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred by reason of a conspiracy by two connected packs of Jews (“UK Lawyers for Israel” and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) in 2016 ( 8 years after I ceased to practise at the Bar), are little if at all different from when I was in ordinary Bar practice in England (1992-1996 and 2002-2008), I being overseas most of the intervening time and for several years thereafter.
When I was in Bar practice before the courts and tribunals of England (mostly the County Courts and the High Court, though at first also in the magistrates’ courts, various tribunals and —occasionally— the Crown Courts), I had lay clients (and instructing solicitors) who were from many parts of the world, most living in the UK. Many species of blacks and browns, inter alia. I always did my best for all of them. That is or was the ethos of the Bar.
It is also irrelevant whether or not Lucy Connolly is or is not labelled as “racist” by this idiot or that. The fact is that her sentence was harsh, and the circumstances of her original plea and the facts of her case amount, overall, to a miscarriage of justice, notwithstanding her (frankly, mistaken) original guilty plea.
Lucy Connolly is quite evidently being used, politically, by the Starmer-stein regime, as something akin to the dead crows etc that gamekeepers used to impale on spikes as some kind of supposed warning-off to others. Katie Hopkins has vlogged to the same effect, and I had already blogged to that same effect.
The same thing happened to Tony Martin, the farmer who was at first convicted, quite wrongly, of having murdered a “gypsy” (Irish tinker/”traveller”) after a group of those predators and scavengers attacked Martin’s isolated farmhouse: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer).
Even after his murder conviction was quashed, being replaced by a manslaughter conviction and a 5-year term (his 10-year sentence for shooting and wounding another nuisance in the same incident was also reduced, the 10 years being replaced by a —concurrent— 3-year term), Martin was refused early release, and served 3 years. The woke-idiot probation and parole swine were judging him for his views, at root.
Had I been Prime Minister, I should have made sure that Martin was never charged (and don’t think that that is not possible). Indeed, he should have been commended for his brave actions, and given money from public funds.

[“You do know a Labour MP was just arrested on child sex charges don’t you? How many Labour MPs and councillors arrested so far in the last 12 months? 6! 4 of which are paedophiles. Labour MPs: 1.Dan Norris: On April 5, 2025, Dan Norris, the Labour MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was arrested on suspicion of rape, child sexual offences, child abduction, and misconduct in public office. The allegations pertain to incidents from the 2000s and a rape allegation from the 2020s. Norris has been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues, and the Labour Party has suspended him, removing the party whip. 2.Mike Amesbury: In February 2025, Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, was jailed for 10 weeks after pleading guilty to assault by beating. The incident occurred in October 2024, and Amesbury was suspended by the Labour Party following his arrest. Labour Councillors: 1.Lee Laudat-Scott: In July 2024, Lee Laudat-Scott, a councillor in Hackney, resigned after being charged with sexually assaulting a child under 13. His arrest marked the second paedophile scandal in Hackney Council within a year. 2.Ricky Jones: In August 2024, Ricky Jones, a councillor in Dartford, was arrested and subsequently charged with encouraging violent disorder. This followed a speech he made at a counter-protest in Walthamstow, where he allegedly called for violence against far-right protesters. The Labour Party suspended him pending the outcome of legal proceedings. 3.David Graham: In early 2024, David Graham, a senior Labour councillor in Fife, Scotland, was arrested and charged with alleged child grooming offences. Following his arrest, the Labour Party suspended him, and he was due to appear in court at a later date. 4.Desmond Gibbons: In late 2024, Desmond Gibbons, a former Labour councillor on Gedling Borough Council, was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found with over 600 indecent images of children, some as young as three years old. Gibbons had resigned from the Labour Party and his council position prior to his sentencing.“]

Interesting, but I am more interested in both the present main culture, i.e. our own, the “Germanic-Anglo-Saxon-American” (as Rudolf Steiner put it), and the next main culture (which still lies fifteen hundred years in the future), the Russian/Slavonic.
At present, the Russian culture is almost entirely a borrowing from older cultures, mainly the Graeco-Roman culture and our present “Western” culture, just as Northern Europe only had “borrowed” Graeco-Roman culture until around 1400 AD (or “CE”) and the eruption of the Renaissance, which was essentially a brief recapitulation of the Graeco-Roman age.
There are, as yet, only indications, seen here and there, of that future Russian culture.

Were there more limited foreign aid being sent, were vast sums not being wasted on the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, were there no migration invasion, were there few non-whites living here, and were the UK a fundamentally white European ethnostate, this country would be hugely better off in every way; not only economically but also socially and culturally.

The unions long ago stopped seriously pushing for those, and had no power to do so anyway. A waste of space.

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.
No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).
That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.
For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.
In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.
The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.
The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.
People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.
I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.
I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.
At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.
I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.
This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“
