Looks hopeful…

Deutschland erwache!

journalist from The Telegraph, Allison Pearson, is under investigation by British police for an alleged “hate crime” due to a year-old social media post. The details surrounding the post are vague—Pearson has not been informed of the content or the identity of the person who made the accusation. This has drawn concerns about free speech and police overreach, with critics describing the situation as “Kafkaesque”stigation has sparked a, particularly regarding the lack of transparency in the process.

What else is new? See:

I do not recall the “conservative” or other “free speech” supposed activists speaking up for me. Not Allison Pearson, not Toby Young or his “Free Speech Union”, not Matt Goodwin, not any of the Breitbart, “Prison Planet”, “Sargon of Akkad” lot, not Katie Hopkins— none of them. “Human rights” barristers? No. Not one. Not even, as far as I recall, Nick Griffin or other nationalist-type activists online. Not one.

Of course, the reason is clear. “The usual suspects”, aka (((“them”))) and their evil, malign influence over politics, the legal system, and the mainstream media, and even the “alt-Right” social media types (who fear losing their Twitter/X accounts and so much of their influence and/or income).

Ah. Yet I do not recall the Daily Telegraph speaking up for me; not when I was wrongfully and actually unlawfully disbarred in 2016, nor when the Jewish lobby (sub nom “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, actually a tiny though well-funded group) procured, via political interference, a prosecution of me using the notorious “bad law” Communications Act 2002, s.127. As to the former, see the articles posted above. As to my 2016 disbarment, see below:

Exactly. I support Allison Pearson’s free speech, but she and her type, msm scribblers etc, mouthpieces of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, do not support mine. I therefore claim the moral high ground.

I would not have said this even 10 years ago, but the fact is that most of the police in the UK are now idiots, easily bamboozled by the Jewish lobby in particular. Also brainwashed by “diversity” and “inclusion” bs, imbibed during mandated “courses”.

In Allison Pearson’s case, she is (as one would expect from a UK msm scribbler) pro-Jewish lobby, so her “crime” or “non-crime hate offence” seems to have been based on the “diversity” nonsense.

Can one do better than recall the words of Voltaire over two centuries ago, and surely unnecessary for me to quote to my erudite readership…

Obvious East European Gypsy types, but say that to the police and you, not they, will probably be threatened with arrest by the poundshop Stasi

The Jewish/Israel lobby is behind most of the attack on free speech in the UK, the same lobby that Allison Pearson seems to support. Poetic justice? Either you have freedom of expression or you do not.

Oh, so Julia Hartley-Brewer is now all for free speech, as is her employer, the “no-one watches” Talk TV owned by the ancient cuckold Rupert Murdoch.

I have never seen anything from Julia Loudmouth supporting my free speech rights over the past decade.

As for Talk TV, when I was convicted in 2023, and sentenced in March 2024, for having published the truth, Talk TV’s Twitter/X account simply regurgitated the bs fed to its “journalists” by the Jewish lobby and suborned Clown Prosecution Service.

Talk TV managed to get basic facts wrong, too; they even said, on their Twitter account and website, that I had been “jailed“!

Another scandal emerging on the impact of uncontrolled mass immigration on our way of life… From my questioning of the Ministry of Justice – slowly, we are getting real answers. Between April 2018 and March 2022, there were 38,868 reoffences from adult foreign nationals. Within that, there were 11,890 reoffenders. Why are these criminals not immediately deported? If our weak establishment had the guts to do what is needed to be done and deport these miscreants, then almost 40,000 crimes would have been prevented. Pathetic and spineless politicians have failed this country. Foreign criminals should be deported. No excuses.

Dog-free areas? How about creating **g-free areas?

Court news

https://www.cps.gov.uk/wessex/news/tiktoker-sentenced-grossly-offensive-antisemitic-posts

A TikTok user who continually posted antisemitic content to her thousands of followers has today been sentenced.

Fiona Ryan, 40, regularly shared her antisemitic views to both TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter), which includes comparing Israeli citizens to Nazis and made jokes about the Holocaust.

  • Ryan was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months, and eight weeks imprisonment suspended for 18 months respectively, to run concurrently.
  • Ryan was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154, costs of £650 and a requirement to attend up to 20-day rehabilitation.”

[CPS Press release]

So the “fat lady” sang (again) (at Wessex CPS HQ).

What an incredible waste of public resources. Will Allison Pearson or Julia Hartley-Loudmouth have anything to say about the latest assault on freedom of expression? I doubt it.

The basic conundrum is “what is democracy?“— See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

Reform UK is a symptom of how angry rather a lot of English people are about the state of the country. Over 4 million votes, over 14% of those voters who voted (i.e. Reform UK was voted for by 1 in 7 voters).

Reform UK got 14.3% of votes, but only 5 MPs.

LibDems? Fewer votes by far than Reform, yet 72 MPs. Ridiculous.

The Conservative Party got 23.7%, little more than one and a half times the number of votes taken by Reform, yet 121 MPs.

Where is the justice, or even logic, in that?

As for the Labour Party, its 33.7% of votes cast represents less than two and a half times the Reform vote, yet it ends up with 411 MPs!

Again, no justice and no logic.

Apparently, Peter Barnes (or Peter C. Barnes) is a UK political campaigns person, who works or has worked for the Conservative Party, and who appears on the “no-one watches” Talk TV and the “almost no-one watches” GB News television outlets.

Seems that Barnes blames Reform UK for Labour’s faux “landslide” (procured by a mere 33.7% of votes cast, i.e. about 20% of all potential votes), and via an electoral system patently not fit for purpose.

In reality, the blame for the Starmer-Labour victory should be placed, first and foremost, with a succession of supposedly “Conservative” governments over the past 14 years, headed by no less than 5 Conservative Party prime ministers who all turned out to be complete deadheads.

Those Conservative Party governments presided over the importation of 3-4 MILLION immigrants, mostly non-European, and over the trashing of public services including the libraries, courts, police, district nursing, roads, elder care, social housing; also riverine pollution… you name it.

At present, mass immigration into the UK is somewhere around a million a year. Yes, a few hundred thousand also leave, but most of the leavers are Brit or other European people emigrating to Australasia and elsewhere.

Barnes seems to think that, had Reform UK not existed, all or most of its voters would have voted Con, thus preventing a Labour government, or one with a majority.

First of all, while most 2024 election Reform UK voters would not have voted Labour in those or any circumstances, that does not mean that they would have voted Con. Probably not. More likely, abstention.

Secondly, parties exist for a reason. There now seems little reason for most voters to vote Con. That seems to be lost on Westminster Bubble types such as Barnes (of whom I had not heard until today). Reform UK is the outcome of profound discontent in the depths of the population.

If Labour (as I firmly expect) fails to give the British people what they require, then Reform UK will not only grow in influence, but will also be the least of the problems of the System parties.

Britain needs a real social-national movement.

Cronyism, petty or not so petty corruption and fraud…it’s like the Blair-Brown years all over again.

Building hutches for migrant-invaders.

Not just Muslims in the UK. The Labour “elected” dictatorship will no doubt target any English people unwilling to accept the Zionists.

Rachel Reeves believes in the nationalization of intimidation…

We must be clear: the minority of “activist” blacks and browns want the real British people, the so-called “white British”, to disappear, bred out or otherwise disposed of.

As I predicted. Labour continues the fiction that the problem is “smuggling gangs” etc, when the real problem is the migration invasion itself (both “legal” and “illegal”), and that would be about the same whether or not various types of criminal were making profits from it all.

I also predicted that Labour in government would open “processing centres” in France, approve 95% of applicants (who will then travel on to the UK “legally”, via ferry or air); the TV and newspaper coverage of invaders being ferried to the South Coast ports (via RNLI and Border Force) or beaches (via rubber boats etc) will simply all but stop, but the invasion itself will continue, just invisibly.

Tweeter “@IGMansfield” obviously loves the new “elected” dictatorship of Labour, as it prepares to build over the once “green and pleasant land” so that the invading migrants have a hutch to call their own. No consultation, no appeal, and he loves it.

We often talk about the “enemies of the people”. They now emerge in plain sight. Those who want to trash what is left of this country, whether for profit or for political tendentiousness.

Look at those applauding that tweet (eg below). Not all, or even mostly, any kind of “socialist”:

There is still a small window of opportunity for a party such as Reform UK, or even a genuinely social-national party, to make headway in terms of Commons seats etc. All roads lead to Rome. However, we are getting to the point where ordinary political activity, as per the Reform phenomenon, is not likely to lead to real success, or to triumph.

We are facing an exploding non-European population in the UK, and an upcoming repression on free speech worse than anything so far seen.

Meanwhile, the hordes of “useful idiots” applaud fake “Labour” and love to see government being tyrannical and careless of civil rights (a phenomenon also noted during the 2020-2022 “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic),

Again…

The “enemies of the people”…

Starmer-Labour has little in common with “the party formerly known as Labour”; it is a finance-capitalist project, which poses (and is presented by the msm) as wildly popular because of its Commons “landslide”, when in reality (as examined on the blog over the past few days), it only got 33.7% of the popular vote. Indeed, 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote, so the real support for Starmer-Labour in the country is only about 20%.

This is a WEF government, a ZOG/NWO government, a Labour Friends of Israel government, a Bilderberg government. It has no real validity.

Incidentally, I now know who that tweeter “@IGMansfield” is— a senior figure at the finance-capitalist “think tank” (lobby org), Policy Exchange: https://policyexchange.org.uk/news/new-additions-to-our-expanded-team-at-policy-exchange/.

Starmer-Labour is really just another globalist and finance-capitalist “project” akin to Blair’s “New Labour”, as seen in the many Blair-Brown faces now in government. The myriad new MPs are basically lobby-fodder.

Miliband, who claimed in 2009 at Copenhagen that we had either 3 or 5 years to “save the planet”. Then the planet yawned and everyone, or almost everyone, forgot about the prediction (which was echoed by the then Prince Charles).

Well, now Miliband is back, wanting to cover the countryside in turbines.

I thought that that “@Bushra1Shaikh” Twitter/X account must be some form of satire, but apparently not.

There it is, anyway— the latest batch of migrant-invaders, brought to the UK by one of the government agencies meant to protect our borders from invasion and breach by criminals…

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

The “Bushra Shaikh” person tweeting actually seems to exist for real, albeit on an incredibly low intellectual/educational level.

Just looked her up online. Apparently, she was on the TV show The Apprentice about 7 years ago, in 2017 (fired before the show came to an end). 40-41 years old, a divorced single mother of three children, and a businesswoman of some sort, who sells Muslim clothing.

Talking point

https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/freedom-of-speech

From the newspapers

https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/talktv-channel-shut-down-just-32279127

TalkTV has been shut down as a terrestrial TV channel by News UK. The Rupert Murdoch owned channel will be taken off air in the summer just two years after it was launched. The move comes after Piers Morgan quit TalkTV and moved his Uncensored show to YouTube permanently.

[Daily Mirror]

I had missed that report from about 7 weeks ago. I have now seen this:

TalkTV was a British free-to-air opinion-oriented[a] television and radio channel launched on 25 April 2022, owned and operated by News UK. The channel initially broadcast on FreeviewFreesatSkyVirgin Media and was available via the Internet on YouTube, later deciding in the face of poor viewer ratings to become available on the Internet only from 30 April 2024.[3]

[Wikipedia].

It does not surprise me. Hardly anyone watched Talk TV; I had not done so even once, and I doubt that I know anyone who ever watched it.

It seems that, over the 2 years of its operations, Talk TV lost about £90M, and that the losses were increasing.

After my sentencing hearing about 6 weeks ago, Talk TV was one of the few msm outlets to report on the matter. Entirely inaccurately. They did not have a reporter in court, so must have taken their “fact(s)” either from the “Clown” Prosecution Service or from the equally-“inaccurate” “Campaign Against Antisemitism” website, though neither of those claimed that I had been imprisoned. Indeed, the “CAA” has already been whining about how the sentence was too lenient.

According to Talk TV’s “report” on its website, and linked to via tweet, both of which I have seen, and which are still extant, I was “jailed“! Presumably a Freudian slip by one of the wannabee “journalists” [who were] employed there. Or should that read (((“journalists”)))? Wishful thinking, on their part?

In reality, my sentence was one of a “community order”, comprising 15 days or part-days (the longest meeting—so far— about 2 hours) with the Probation Service, spread over 9 months, plus a costs order amounting to £734. See https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

The mass media operations run by the aged cuckold, Murdoch, and his offspring have never been notable for their veracity, of course.

Anyway, it now looks as if the “journalists” of Talk TV, who could not get even the most basic facts right, will perforce be looking for other jobs, or other work. Good riddance.

[Update, 29 April 2024: just saw a few tweets which may explain why Talk TV was so keen to publicize my recent free speech conviction and sentence; turns out that one Jonny Gould, a Talk TV presenter (or perhaps now former presenter, looking at the news related above), who is a Jew very involved with issues around both “antisemitism” and Israel, is also (allegedly and according to the tweets I have seen) acquainted with (those tweets said a “fan” of) the egregious Mark Lewis —see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/— of both the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and “UK Lawyers for Israel”. True, it may be that that is a co-incidence, but to my mind to accept that proposition would be asking a lot].

Why is this surprising to anyone? The UK almost shut down its society and economy for two years (supposedly because of a virus that actually was killing very few people), huge numbers of parasitic non-Europeans are entering the country, and are given housing, food, money etc out of public funds, and very large amounts are being transferred either to the Jewish-Zionist regime in Kiev, or to Israel in the form of air and naval operations.

Typical. Playing the victim while trying to persecute others. Absolutely typical.

(((LBC)))…

Not just Falter. Several of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” Prominente have been trying, over years, to pervert the course of justice in respect of a number of people, including me.

Late tweets seen

Well, I have repeatedly pointed out what type of (((individuals))) literally own LBC and most if not all of those working therein…

Trump seems to have the edge, just about, as far as the popular vote is concerned, but whether that is enough I do not know.

The steep decline below replacement-level seems to have started from around that very significant year in the 33-year cycle, 1989. The decline seems to show no sign of stopping, though.

The aftermath of my sentencing hearing

I was expecting a storm (even if in a teacup) after my sentencing, rather as happened after I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016. The Crown Prosecution Service (or should that be Clown Prosecution Service?) also seem to have been expecting a great deal more interest from Press and public than there has been.

The CPS posted this:

A disbarred barrister who posted grossly offensive antisemitic material online has been sentenced.

Between May 2021 and April 2022, Ian Robert Millard persistently posted about his hatred of Jewish people online, while claiming he was simply exercising his freedom of speech.

Statements made by Millard included that ‘there is nothing wrong with being antisemitic’, that England would ‘be a great deal better’ with more antisemitism and suggestions that the Holocaust was ‘fake history’.

He also posted imagery which portrayed antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Working closely with Hampshire Constabulary, the CPS trawled through twelve months’ worth of evidence from Millard’s blog.

Unpicking the evidence, piece by piece, including one month of posts alone which totalled 450 pages, prosecutors were able to show the continuous barrage of offensive material – all of which needed to be considered by prosecutors to build the strongest possible case.

At trial, prosecutors utilised the evidence to prove Millard was not simply expressing his freedom of speech, but was engaged in a campaign of antisemitic hate, publishing grossly offensive material which breached the Communications Act.

Having been found guilty after trial of five charges of breaching the Communications Act, Millard, 67 and of the New Forest, was sentenced at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on 14 March 2024 and received a nine month Community Order.

Sophie Stevens, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor with CPS Wessex, said: “Antisemitism has a devastating impact on individuals and communities – we won’t hesitate to bring offenders of hate crime to justice.

“This was a complex prosecution which required many hours scrutinising the masses of online content that Ian Millard deemed perfectly acceptable.

[Crown Prosecution Service public/Press statement]

A few points about that.

Firstly, the malicious and politically-motivated pro-Israel group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, or “CAA” (effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy) have admitted on both their website and Twitter/X account that they brought political pressure to bear on the CPS to prosecute me for something/anything, including a letter written directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions by “Lord” Ian Austin, the notorious ex-MP. The “CAA” campaign against me has lasted a whole decade now.

Second, the words allegedly used on the blog were “…a lot better for a little more defensive antisemitism“. The CPS has left out that important qualifier.

Thirdly, imagine the waste of public money in which the CPS has indulged. Hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of blog material, examined minutely. A court process involving some half dozen days or part-days of hearing during 2023 and 2024. Instruction of outside Counsel to appear at each hearing etc.

Also, months of enforced activity by me as I fought to defend myself without any legal or financial assistance; a certain amount of stress, inevitably. The necessity to drive to Southampton several times, too.

The result? Slightly more severe than I had hoped (I was hoping for a conditional discharge or small fine of about £200), but far less severe than the “CAA” and its horrible supporters wanted to see. They really wanted the manacles on me, to quote the late Sir Roger Hollis.

So. 15 meetings with the Probation Service spread over the next 9 months. Also, a nearly £800 costs order and “surcharge” [see also https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J].

Notice how the CPS was obviously desperate to have the result of my case in the newspapers, even adding “Notes for Editors” to its statement.

The question now is whether the CPS will be pressured further by the “CAA” to take other action against me, particularly in respect of blog posts in late 2023 and early 2024 (after conviction but prior to sentence). Needless to say, all further attacks will be vigorously defended, should push come to shove.

Looking at the CPS statement, the old saying “it ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” comes to mind.

As for the blog, I have already announced that, while the blog will continue to be published daily, or near-daily, its content will inevitably have to change slightly, be more diplomatic etc. Also, I hope to shift the emphasis from comment more towards how to build for the future.

Naturally, in a situation where free speech is all but dead in this country, I cannot invite further politically-motivated prosecutions. I must tread the line, as did Sir Thomas More [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More], between (metaphorically, in my case) keeping my head on my shoulders, and staying true to principle and honour.

There have been a few tweets about my trial and sentence. The “no-one watches” Talk TV (part of the mass media empire founded by the ancient billionaire, Rupert Murdoch), tweeted thus:

https://talk.tv/top-stories/54441/ian-millard-antisemitic-antisemitism-convicted-posts-nazi

As one would expect from a Murdoch operation, there is dishonesty in that tweet. For one thing, the image and quotation is from my old Twitter/X account. The Jewish lobby or members of it had Twitter delete my account in 2018, almost 6 years ago, and the tweet probably comes from well before even that date.

I notice that Talk TV’s tweet has had some 3,400 views, yet only 9 people have “liked” it, and only 9 (presumably the same 9) have retweeted it. About a quarter of one percent. So somewhere between 99.5%-100% are either with me or are just not very interested in the story.

The tweet by the “Clown” Prosecution Service followed the same pattern. No less than 13,000 people have apparently viewed it, but only 85 have “liked” it, and even fewer (29) have retweeted it. 85 out of 13,000; about half of one percent. So —again— about 99% of people are either with me or are not terribly interested in what the CPS has to say.

Millard and the People!” (?) (and with apologies to Ceausescu).

I suppose that it proves how nervous the System is at the popular mood under the surface. People in the UK may be unaware of their own unconscious political preferences…

I noticed that one clown tweeter seems unable to read:

Ha ha. What an idiot.

One of the few other reply-tweets about the matter:

There were a couple of tweets from the individual below, a kind of online stalker, who even copied his pathetic whining tweet to the CPS and police:

That lunatic (he is actually a mental case of some sort, on medication) has been making silly and rude remarks about me for many years, and inciting various people, various organizations, the few who bother to read his tweets, against me.

If I had more money (well, it is just possible that I might hit the Euromillions lottery…), I should apply for a Norwich Pharmacal Order, thus have his identity and address confirmed (like others, he may not be quite as anonymous as he thinks anyway), and then take legal action against him. That would prove expensive for him…

For more about that lunatic, and others of similar type, see this blog post from 5 years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/. In that article, I examined the strong links between “antifascism”, Zionism, and mental illness, linkages rarely if ever noted by the mainstream media.

This was tweeted too, by the “Searchlight” “organization” (one old “you know who” in an East London backroom):

Note that “Searchlight“, which has been tracking me since about 1975, is completely washed-up.

Their tweet (politely pretending that it is more than one individual…) has had (after 2 days) only 575 views, and only 5 “likes”. Malicious, but ultimately pathetic, idiot(s).

In fact, I see that “Searchlight” only has about 2,800 “followers” on Twitter/X. When I was expelled at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby in 2018, I already had over 3,000, and by now would have had probably at least 10,000 (which, of course, was why “they” had me expelled…).

This time round, there has been no interest by Sky TV, the Daily Mail (the scribbler whom I believe was in charge of my disbarment story in 2016 has left and is now the editor of…the Jewish Chronicle!) etc. Only the BBC, the “no-one watches it” Talk TV, and a small provincial newspaper which describes me as “disgraced barrister“. “Disgraced“? Now I think I know from (((where))) that description comes…

I may be disbarred, but am not disgraced except in the little minds of the “usual suspects” and the fools who listen to them.

Incidentally, there were no reporters at all at the sentencing hearing, so that “journalist” (stupid scribbler) has taken his “report” straight from the “CAA” and/or CPS.

There is a lot of news around at present: the Israeli mass slaughter of women and children in Gaza, the Russian elections, the now rather rapid destruction of the misnamed “Conservative” Party. Even in the area of so-called “far-right” “extremism”, on the very same day that I was sentenced (last Thursday), a supposed “far-right” or “neo-Nazi” young man was sentenced to over 2 years in prison for having done not very much.

In view of all that, the story about the retired barrister who said a few supposedly “grossly offensive” things about Jews etc on his blog (read by a fairly small number of people worldwide), and allegedly posted a few cartoons, hardly makes the cut.

I suppose that I should be grateful to, especially, the CPS and the “CAA”, as well as Talk TV, the BBC, and the various Jewish/Zionist and supposedly “antifascist” Twitter/X accounts, and a few small online news outlets, for their diligent work over the past days and months, spreading my words, or alleged words, and my views (or supposed views), so widely.

Their attacks on me, their reportage, and of course the whole recent prosecution of me, have brought my views to the attention of a wider audience by far than my modest blog had so far reached. Thank you.

Finally, I forgot to note that the main policeman (a uniformed constable) who has been involved in my “case” (since 2021), was in court for my sentencing.

I do not propose to name him here (despite his name having been read out in open court), and actually he seems to be generally an amiable young man, though seemingly rather misled ideologically, judging by his dogged snooping on my blog, and by his witness statements.

My point here is that was the same policeman whose “neighbourhood policing team” failed (as far as I know) to do much to deal with a spate of anti-social and acquisitive crime incidents in 2021-2023 in the relatively not-good neighbourhood where I now, perforce, live. Those incidents included the theft of a wheel from my own car in early 2023.

Putting it less politely, the Hampshire Constabulary proved to be utterly useless in doing their proper job.

So there we have it. Next stop— 15 meetings with the Probation Service…

I suppose that I should add a word about appeal to the Crown Court.

At present, I do not intend to appeal on either conviction or sentence.

The present political climate —and this was a political case, and I was charged as part of the UK’s present political repression on free speech— would make an appeal against conviction unlikely to succeed.

Appeals to Crown Court from the magistrates’ court are before a Circuit Judge, assisted by one or two magistrates. So no jury to whom to speak, or to persuade. As for appeal against sentence, the present sentence is not particularly severe. 15 days or part-days of meetings, and a financial impost. The maximum sentence would have been 6 months’ imprisonment (in reality, about 2-3 months).

For me, there would thus seem to be little point in appealing, even though I dispute that I was convicted correctly, or charged correctly.

Finally, I do have a crowdfunder in place to help pay for the £1,000 the case has cost me. Any and all donations gratefully received. Thank you.

[Update, 15 April 2024: I only today noticed that the “no-one watches” Talk TV has it on its website that I was “jailed” at my (March 2024) sentencing hearing! Ha ha! The stupid bastards at Talk TV cannot even get the most basic facts right.]

[Update, 9 June 2024: I should point out that my sentence, which was called (some days or weeks later) “absurdly lenient” by the malicious and conspiratorial Jew-Zionist group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (which admits to having pushed for 7 years for me to be prosecuted), was made by the learned (and generally quite fair) sentencing judge on the specific recommendation of the Probation Service officer who met me in mid-December 2023 and later drafted a pre-sentence report for the Court. The sentence itself (a “community order” with 15 “rehabilitation days”) exactly followed the recommendation made in that report.]

[Update, 13 September 2024: As of yesterday, I do not have to attend any further meetings with the Probation Service, despite not having actually attended very many: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/09/13/diary-blog-13-september-2024/. My sentence is therefore effectively at an end. “The usual suspects” ((( ))) will be fuming].

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/21/plantwatch-redwoods-amazing-recovery-california-wildfire

In August 2020, wildfire burned almost the entire Big Basin Redwoods state park in California, scorching ancient redwood trees, some dating back more than 1,500 years and among the tallest living things on Earth.

Redwoods are naturally fire resistant thanks to their thick bark, but the wildfire was so intense and flames so high the trees’ foliage was destroyed, even in tree canopies more than 300ft high.

It was feared the redwoods would never recover, but a few months later something incredible happened – many of the trees began sprouting tiny leaf needles from blackened trunks and branches, and two years later the forest had turned green.

Much of this fresh growth sprouted from buds under the bark and also deep inside the trees, some buds having lain dormant for more than 1,000 years.”

Yvette Cooper. She may soon be the anti-British dictator or tyrant she has always wanted to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvette_Cooper.

Gove. Again.

Putin: Few people are interested in a large-scale conflict between Russia and NATO In the event of a large-scale conflict between Russia and NATO, the world will be on the threshold of the third world war, however, few people are interested in such a thing happening, said the candidate for the president of Russia Vladimir Putin.

Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

Fascinating social history

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

Strange to see the smartly-uniformed railway staff of 1963, as compared to not only many rail employees today, but even persons working at 10 Downing Street or in other high-profile situations.

Also, interesting to note that Evercreech Junction (Somerset), featured in that film, was closed down and became derelict a mere 3 years later, and that several towns of significance on that now-disappeared line no longer have railway stations at all (Glastonbury, for one).

[the Somerset and Dorset railway system as it was in 1890; the line covered by the John Betjeman film is shown in green]

These rail links were not hobbyists’ railways even in the 1960s; they were working, and carrying passengers, until (in this case) 1966:

The Betjeman film is also a useful antidote to the notion that Britain in 1963 was all London, Carnaby Street, the Beatles, social upheaval etc. A very different way of life then existed still in the provinces.

Firing squad.

Firing squad.

What we in the UK (and West generally) are shown is happening in Ukraine is quite different from the reality on the ground. The basically Jewish/Zionist propaganda of the Zelensky regime has been very skilful; many do not see behind it.

Sadly, though, that GB News assertion may be accurate, so pervasive has the msm multikulti propaganda been over past decades.

Good grief!

Another huge non-surprise, given Macron’s political and other background: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

How can this be acceptable? It is largely because of the past mad 2 years of useless (in fact, counter-productive) “lockdowns”, shutdowns, “furlough” payments, grants and “loans” to (often fraudulent) supposed businesses and self-employed etc. Meanwhile, the plebs all gathered obediently outside their houses and clapped the increasingly non-existent NHS and other public services.

Beyond the above, however, this is at least partly the result of an entirely cynical and planned reduction in living standards in the UK (and the EU states are going the same way).

What plan? Suppress the white British birth rate, import blacks and browns, then reduce living standards to a level previously (certainly for the past 70 years) unacceptable to English people, but acceptable to the bottom-of-barrel imports from Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East etc.

This is all part of the New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government [NWO/ZOG] Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: http://adam.curry.com/art/1543753587_mkXBrvrY.html.

Readers will have seen how every UK TV ad, pretty much, now has blacks in it, and quite often a mixed couple, usually the black man with the white woman, and the mixed-race children. There it is, Coudenhove-Kalergi propaganda, the Plan in plain sight. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/10/tv-ads-and-soaps-are-the-propaganda-preferred-by-the-system-in-the-uk/.

It is also the case that, as the British masses focus on their increasingly precarious micro-economic problems, their wider identity interests fade into the background. All part of the agenda…

For once, I disagree with tweeter “@EternalEnglish”. Basic Income is a concept whose time has surely come.

Jew-Zionism is only partly a question of traditional religion; more a matter of race and consequent ideology.

Look who is powerful in the World Bank, IMF, Federal Reserve, TV companies, publishing, social media companies etc.

You get my point.

Two out of three— Jewish. You don’t have to be Jewish, of course, but…

You get my point.

This evening’s final word

Just saw a clip on Twitter (see above) from some TV show, on a channel I had never heard of called Talk TV. A panel discussion. Presenter was James Max (I think Jewish, or part-Jewish), and the four panellists were Vanessa Feltz (Jewish), Sharon Osbourne (half-Jewish), some black man, and Isabel Oakeshott. No white British/Northern European man at all, despite white people still making up about 80% of the UK population.

You get my point.

[late update: I have just now discovered that Talk TV is owned by Newscorp, i.e. Rupert Murdoch].
