Stray thought

I happened to be watching a recorded episode of Celebrity Chase quiz show. I only recognized two of the four “celebrities”, one of which was the unpleasant, and at one time more famous, Janet Street-Porter. She, like so many “celebrities” on such shows, displayed an almost total lack of knowledge. My problem with that is that such people are put before the public on TV and radio etc as if sage, or at least sensible. They are usually neither.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Street-Porter

Incidentally, the “Chaser” was Shaun Wallace, a West Indian who is or was also a low-level criminal barrister, and who, in 2016, was up before the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in the same week as me. My own supposed default was telling the truth on Twitter (5 officially-determined “offensive” but in reality true and not at all offensive tweets); Wallace’s default was being in breach of his duties as a barrister, i.e. Bar professional standards.

On that Celebrity Chase I saw Wallace (a former Mastermind winner, no less) say that Bedfordshire was “near” Gloucestershire (“…all that sort of area“), thus conflating the Chilterns with the Cotswolds in relation to the source of the Thames (usually taken to be near Cricklade, Gloucestershire, and nowhere near either the Chilterns or Bedfordshire).

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

As for my own Bar Disciplinary Tribunal hearing of 2016 (procured by a pack of Jews called “UK Lawyers for Israel” or “UKLFI”), see:

Another stray thought

Well, the fallout of the Huntingdon train attack continues.

I presume that the attacker (now said to be one, not a pair) thought that the train would not stop until the next scheduled stop (I believe, Stevenage), and so his rampage would be able to run for much longer).

Now we see a large number of MPs, msm scribblers and talking heads etc desperate to say that the attacker was “British”, i.e. had a British passport and/or was born here, despite being a black. The said msm and political drones are also keen to say that, if there was a mental health issue involved, in theory it could as easily have been a white man who attacked.

Well, I was born in England in 1956 and, for my whole life up to quite recent years, never heard of rampages (not isolated criminal stabbings) with knives, machetes etc until this country became a dustbin for backward blacks and browns (etc) from all over the world. Not on trains. Not in the streets of London or other cities.

Mass immigration into the UK has been disastrous, actually reducing by a significant amount the average IQ of this country, apart from everything else.

National Socialist Germany had such an institute: SS-Ahnenerbe; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe.

(Caveat: be aware that there is an organized Jew-Zionist campaign to vandalize Wikipedia on topics such as this).

The Ahnenerbe focussed on the past and present, rather than the present and into the future. That latter is what we need— an institute with the stated aim of discovering how to create a race-stock not merely to preserve Aryan/European race, culture and civilization but also, and even more importantly, to create at least the foundation, the social/racial/cultural foundation, for a new race-type; not a super-race as such, immediately (which is not possible) but the physical foundation for a much later super-race.

Kamm is a Jew-Zionist liar. He has tweeted against me in the past; I have written a little about him, too: see

They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha!

[“He was born here, as were the 7/7 bombers and Axel Rudakubana, for example. Yet he is still classed as British because of that. Do you really want people like this lumped in with you both with identity and crime statistics of British people? Because that’s what’s happening. All because of birth right or a piece of paper, apparently anyone can identify as British these days. This needs to stop. #notourcrimes“]

Wall. Squad. End.

It makes no difference whether the untermensch is a “migrant”, as such, or not. The fact is that, if you import enough backwardness, enough people of backward type (and thus import their offspring or descendants), you import backwardness and evil, you make this country backward and evil, or more backward, more evil.

Incidentally, it makes no odds whether the blacks and browns are Muslims, “Christians” or anything else, though the “Christian” ones are possibly/arguably slightly better, usually.

Does Rupert Lowe think that petitions do anything (except create very slightly more political noise)?

Much of the evil arrives via the (((usual suspects))) too.

What tweeter Sophie Meaden refers to as “civnats” covers a wide range, from Reform UK or UKIP-style politicos right through to “Tommy Robinson” supporters or other EDL-style football-shirt wearers, bottle-throwers, and flag-wavers.

The “minorities“, combined, will very soon be the majority, and we, the white Europeans who have built almost everything of value in the world in the past 1,000-2,000 years at least, will be the minority, unless we take action soon. In the UK. In France. In Germany. Everywhere.

(108 years ago yesterday).

Dead-eyed Jew-Zionist extremists of the “CAA” type often make appalling comments which highlight their inhumanity. Not showing themselves as merely inhumane but as actually inhuman.

Never let “them” sneak in. Anywhere.

They are going to wait? What for? Maybe they do not want to be blamed for the almost inevitable May 2026 elections debacle. This way, they can blame Kemi Carpetbagger, and then ritually chop her. Will not save the dead “Conservative” Party, though…

[“Let’s be clear.. We’re not saying whites don’t commit crime. We’re not saying every migrant is bad. We’re saying that; – The country seems to be in decline. – It seems to correlate with the scale and speed of mass migration. – That’s why we keep voting against it. We are quite obviously becoming less like Britain and more like the countries from which people are arriving. Because a country is its people. This is not a complicated point.. it’s highly intuative.. and yet almost everyone on the left pretends to misunderstand it.”]

Simple fact.

[“At least 175 Afghans were placed in the village of Watchfield overnight and secretly by the government under the ARAP programme. The local donkey jennet was shortly after gang raped in her paddock. She now lives under 24/7 cctv protection. Elon got some details wrong but, you know, well, the general picture… it’s not good.“]

In 1998, when I spent a month at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt, about 20 miles from the Libyan border, I was told by a Brit who had been there for longer about some of the habits of the locals. One of those related to the fact that female donkeys were kept in a guarded compound in a less-populated part of the oasis. Why? The local man apparently replied to that query, “to prevent donkey lust” (locals indulging in sex with the animals).

Britain has been importing savages and/or semi-savages for well over half a century. The initial trickle, then rivulet, became a river, then a flood, and is now a deluge.

The migration-invasion poses an existential threat to, not only our way of life, but our whole culture, civilization, society. This is a situation where normal moral or legal rules do not apply. Beyond “good” and “evil”, if you like.

Another stray thought

This morning, I saw on Sky News or BBC News the release of that silly British girl from prison in Georgia. She looked nothing like the sexy little thing she was. Not only, apparently, pregnant, but looking about 40 years old.

I assumed, when I heard that the prosecution/defence deal had had its terms altered suddenly, that money had changed hands. The msm now says that it did. £145,000, apparently. Where from? Don’t know.

I thought I saw Craig Murray there [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray] but it turned out to be a Georgian lawyer; lookalike.

Diary Blog, 31 October 2025, including material about Jewish journalistic scribbler Sabrina Miller

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” [Oscar Wilde]. I have used that phrase or designation for the last several years on the blog, though initially in relation to “the Harry formerly known as Prince“, with reference to his past decade, and particularly his activity with Meghan Mulatta.

She means “exceeded” her expectations, not “excelled“. Semi-literate…

So much for about 16 years of full-time education, including 3 years reading English Literature at Bristol (when not engaged in Jewish/Israeli “activism”).

So the Mail finally managed to boot out that lying apologist for Israel (and activist for the UK’s malicious Jewish lobby).

Sabrina Miller was the Jewish girl at the centre of the storm around Dr. David Miller at Bristol University a few years ago, which was yet another faked “antisemitism” storm in a teacup. Miller was sacked, but won his case in the employment tribunal.

Sabrina Miller became a newspaper scribbler, despite having previously been also a defender in print (not in the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday) of Jewish-lobby puppet, MP and later “lord” (elevated by fellow-puppet “Boris”-idiot to the House of Lords) Ian Austin, who tweeted (now long-deleted) that bestiality pornography should be decriminalized (but, in other tweets etc, “holocaust” “denial” criminalized).

Sabrina Miller even went further, writing that it was worth thinking about whether bestiality itself should be decriminalized.

Sabrina Miller is or was heavily tied-in with various “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] scams. Not just the harassment of Dr. Miller.

For example, Sabrina Miller, as a Mail “journalist”, colluded with (now washed-up) self-promoting Jew solicitor Mark Lewis in the latter’s failed attempt to make money and publicity out of a faked “antisemitic incident” at the Edinburgh Fringe show of a black American comedian called Reginald D. Hunter. Lewis and his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal had both made money from an earlier and similar fraudulent scam involving a Middle East airline.

See:

Diary Blog, 20 August 2024, including some more thoughts about and around the recent Mark Lewis/Mandy Blumenthal/Sabrina Miller attempted scam at the Edinburgh Fringe
Diary Blog, 19 August 2024, including more about the latest Mark Lewis scam, aided and abetted by Mandy Blumenthal and (Daily Mail) scribbler Sabrina Miller
Diary Blog, 31 May 2025, including thoughts on the continuing “lawfare” abuse of the UK legal system by the Jewish-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (private prosecution of comedian Reginald D. Hunter)

Incidentally, both Dr. David Miller and Reginald D. Hunter are now being privately prosecuted by that same tiny but (((well-funded))) and very malicious Jewish/Zionist org, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

It is pretty clear that (despite “the usual lobby” making sure that Sabrina Miller won a couple of “young journalism” awards during her time at the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday), the newspaper wanted to get rid of a dishonest “journalist” (careerist scribbler) who sees nothing wrong in making up the “news” so long as she thereby serves Israel and the UK Jewish lobby (and her own career).

I note that she writes that she is now on a “career break” and is not immediately going to another position.

Not unlikely.

Was this unexpected? “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” deliberately went way beyond her credit limit on her HoC (interest-free) credit card, then refused for years to pay the capital sum back, thus getting a financial benefit not open to members of the public. She took bribes and “freebies” from wealthy Indians and Jews, and is a buy-to-let parasite. No wonder that actual rank and file socialist members of the Labour Party are leaving in hordes.

The judge’s direction to the jury was a disgrace, from the extract I have seen at least. Plainly pro-defence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Dugdale.

As for the jury, they must be totally stupid.

If you can vandalize Stonehenge and get away with it on spurious “human rights” grounds, then you can vandalize almost anything and use the same defence. This is the kind of thing, the kind of liberalism leading to licence, that then leads on, ultimately, to dictatorship (as antidote).

The “protesters” (vandals) should at least have had their heads kicked in at the time of their crime (which crime, according to the “learned” judge and biased or stupid jury, seems not to be a crime at all). Madness.

Incidentally, the criminals are not even British. One is an Indian, the other Irish. The third defendant, a thick artisan, was apparently British, but only drove the main two to the scene of the crime.

I have been talking and online-writing for years about what is happening in the West generally, and particularly about what is happening in the UK. Not an overnight collapse, just sliding standards across the board. Have you been to an NHS hospital recently? Did you ever see the better ones in the 1970s? Compare them. Today? Administration, or maladministration, in particular.

Look at the standards of MPs. Rock-bottom. One example: the Liberal Democrats were headed by Jewish-lobby puppet Jo Swinson before the present buffoon, Ed Davey. Go back half a century to the old Liberal Party, headed by Jo Grimond. What a contrast…

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

The same decline can be seen in the main System parties.

One of many possible examples: Liz Truss. 50 years ago, she would never have become Prime Minister, nor any kind of minister; probably not even a backbench MP. Some kind of assistant or secretary, maybe. Well, she did become an MP (albeit mainly on her back), and fate propelled that stupid, pushy, uncultured, semi-educated creature to the highest office, and look at the result.

Look at “Boris”-idiot, too. Just one more of many such examples.

…and there were many in the UK msm etc gagging for the same police-state brutality here too. Propagandists such as Piers Morgan.

Donkeys. After cats, probably my favourite animals.

Stray thought

I was just watching an episode, I think 5 years or so old, of The Chase. A question was asked re. which Prime Minister was “put into Room 101“, (the UK TV show) by Jeremy Clarkson. A choice of three, which the contestant answered, correctly, as having been David Cameron. The Chaser, “the Vixen”, Jenny Ryan, also answered correctly. However, presenter Bradley Walsh said, en passant, “I’d have gone Chamberlain”, and the “Vixen” said “I’m with you there“.

What they were really saying is that Chamberlain was rubbish because he tried to avert the disastrous war against the German Reich.

Neither Jenny Ryan nor Bradley Walsh are Jewish, but what they were doing there was making a kind of ritual minor obeisance to the Jewish lobby. To put it another way, they were signalling a kind of fealty.

The fact is that no-one the Jews/Jewish lobby/Israel lobby dislikes or disapproves will get on TV (and so make plenty of money) or stay there if they hold the “wrong” opinions. I can guarantee that if either of those TV faces were to have said, e.g., “well at least Chamberlain tried to avert a disastrous war“, that would be the end of their TV career. Just that. Killed stone dead.

A small sidelight on our “free country”…

Dan Hodges seems to have forgotten (assuming that he ever knew) that, in the Soviet Union, in Stalin’s day and even afterward, ordinary criminals were often treated better than “politicals”.

In any case, the “police state” aspect in question is not Hodges’ “early release” red herring but the incarceration of people for minor disorder, or for tweeting comments etc.

The present UK situation is similar (don’t forget Starmer’s extreme pseudo-socialist ideological background): the real criminals are being released after having served only 40% —with other measures in place, as little as 20%— of their headline sentences, but —by any other name— political, or treated as political, prisoners are being swiftly incarcerated, and are being more harshly sentenced as well.

Incidentally, not only those convicted following the recent protests and/or “riots” (nb. I myself do not consider saying “boo!” to a police riot squad operative, pushing at his plastic shield, looting a sausage-roll shop, or even overturning the odd police car, a “riot” nor indeed a “political protest” as such).

A while ago, I read that a young man had served his entire headline sentence (6 years, I think), having been convicted on one of those trumped-up bs pseudo-“terrorism” charges the UK police and Clown Prosecution Service seem to love today (they often involve an accusation that the accused shared some or another “terrorist” material online, and at the same time owned completely lawful objects such as copies of Mein Kampf or a picture of Hitler; random pieces of circumstantial “evidence” put in to bamboozle a typical low-IQ rubber-stamp “British” jury).

More broadly, the lack of real knowledge of history is widespread now. As G.K. Chesterton said, he feared the uneducated less than he feared the badly-educated.

I was just watching a recorded episode of The Chase [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(British_game_show)], first broadcast some years ago.

The “Chaser”, Jenny Ryan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Ryan], fluffed the question “which of these three was first to be named as Time magazine Man of the Year in 1923?“, the three being Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin.

I thought Mussolini (because of the October 1922 March on Rome, after which Mussolini became Prime Minister), and that turned out to be the correct answer. However, it occurred to me that there was at least a possibility that the correct answer would be Hitler (because of the Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923).

What swung it for me was that Hitler was still only a fringe figure in 1923, whereas Mussolini had taken over his country’s leadership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini#Appointment_as_Prime_Minister.

However, Jenny Ryan, “the Vixen”, thought that Stalin was the right answer, afterwards commenting that she had “thought that Stalin was a much bigger figure back then“, thus showing ignorance of the history of all three countries concerned (Stalin’s more or less supreme power in the Soviet Union only dated from about 1928, though it increased from 1924; in 1923, Lenin was still alive, and the leadership still somewhat collegial). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin#1924%E2%80%931927:_Succeeding_Lenin.

“The Vixen” later made another mistake on the same show, in failing to choose Offa as the answer to a question on Anglo-Saxon history; she chose “Cnut” (Canute), but he was not even an Anglo-Saxon king (though admittedly a king during the Anglo-Saxon period). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offa_of_Mercia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut.

That’s the problem with such quiz shows, esp. The Chase. The “Chasers” and others have memorized lists, and (some) facts, but generally have no real in-depth background. I have noticed that with other Chasers, such as “The Beast”, Mark Labett.

Au contraire. Starmer and his pack (Yvette Cooper etc) do care about free speech— about shutting it down, that is.

“Antisemites and holocaust deniers“?…

I wonder what (((special interest group))) mainly influences the Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship? Need one ask?

In the end, though, the Starmer-Labour government, for all its “massive majority” triumphalism, only got the votes of 4 people out of every 20 (eligible), 4 out of every 12 people (that voted). Quite a number of even the voters that voted Labour only did so to make sure that the Conservative Party lost the election.

The real support for Labour is about 10% of the population. The real support for the attack on free speech etc is even smaller, only a few percent of the whole population.

Starmer and Labour have no legitimate mandate.

Typical…

The “British” mass media is utterly infested, of course. The UK msm routinely parrots Israeli and UK Jewish/Zionist lobby propaganda.

Islamism. One of several major threats to the future of European culture and civilization, and therefore the future of the world.

“Storming a plane, arresting someone, & sentencing them to prison for 20months…For being ‘among a group of people’ & ‘throwing a single item’… Then Police making a social media boast video, complete with music, about it (while turning comments off). http://What.On.Earth ?! Did I fall asleep & wake up in China or something.

Meanwhile… A) You can literally be filmed (allegedly) battering police officers in an airport & be released on bail to do press conferences etc, whilst still weeks later remaining uncharged. B) You can sexually assault children in the sea and go without even being described in the press. Tho people are supposed to be ‘helping look for you’. C) You can be a convicted child rapist and avoid jail if you break your license terms ‘because there is no space’.

This country is becoming a complete basket case. Shame on anyone who celebrates this situation.”

I agree.

The police and Clown Prosecution Service love the “performative” stuff such as “storming” a plane to arrest someone (rather than waiting until the passengers disembark and go through immigration in the normal way, then quietly detaining the suspect).

It’s all part of the Starmer-Labour poundland police state and TV/Press show for the masses. Pretending that throwing a plastic bollard or a wheelie bin is “terrorism” etc.

Interesting food and health advice. I had never heard of that.

Diary Blog, 20 February 2024, including a few thoughts about prominent fakes in present-day UK society

The fakes that roar

I happened to watch an edition of Celebrity Chase quiz show (from about 6 years ago). As usual, I did not know even the names of a couple of the “celebrities”, but “Eddie the Eagle” was there and, also, Michelle Dewberry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Dewberry].

I believe that Ms. Dewberry is now employed by GB News TV as presenter of a current affairs show.

Sadly, Ms. Dewberry proved herself entirely ignorant about politics, and pretty much everything else. Even worse than I was expecting.

Full of unwarranted self-confidence, but empty of intellectual content. Totemic of the present-day (think “Boris” Johnson, for one…).

The presenter of The Chase, Bradley Walsh, introduced Ms. Dewberry as “businesswoman and TV presenter“, I think. True up to a point. She did have a business, though I think an unsuccessful one, about 15 years ago. She is best known for having won, in 2006, The Apprentice, the TV competition run by Jewish businessman Alan Sugar.

My problem with all that is that she is one of a number of people with considerable public profile, and who opines about politics, Britain’s future etc, and yet is entirely ignorant in almost (?) all areas.

I suppose that I have to be honest and admit that, in the commonly-heard (on TV at least) phrase, “she scrubs up well“, anyway.

I see now from Wikipedia that Ms. Dewberry is now in a personal relationship with a once-successful and still affluent businessman, who is also, inter alia, a TV/radio presenter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Jordan.

Ms. Dewberry seems to be an example of a widespread problem in the UK these days, namely people posing as business successes, political experts etc when they are nothing of the sort; but it suits the msm to present them as such.

Look at Michelle Mone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Mone,_Baroness_Mone.

Most such people are boosted by the msm and/or politicians because it suits an agenda, in Michelle Mone’s case as an example of a *woman from *a deprived or poor background, who *via her own efforts *became “successful” and *wealthy. The David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith (etc) ideology personified— and as fake as those cheats.

In fact, Michelle Mone is a fake through and through, and always has been, as seen even in her Wikipedia entry. That, however, has not stopped her from having been —ludicrously, so be it— elevated to the House of Lords; nor has it stopped her from making hundreds of millions of pounds from useless hospital equipment, sold to the NHS via contacts in the Conservative Party, together with her present husband: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Barrowman.

There is something wrong about a country that seems not to care whether someone prominent, and/or in public life proper, is a fake. Look at Iain Duncan Smith. That man has so many layers of fakery that to examine them all in detail would require a book by someone such as Tom Bower [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bower].

We see now how history is not only misunderstood, but often faked in both its overall purport and in details. I am referring not only to the WW2 “holocaust” farrago, but to, for example, the attempts now made to present a one-sided view of European (including British) colonialism as something entirely bad, with no redeeming features.

When history is faked, how can present-day politics and intellectual life be unaffected?

As in the many previous cases involving corrupt and moneygrubbing MPs, what always amazes me is how easy they are to entrap. They must have very little caution (perhaps as a result of their feeling of “entitlement”).

As Hitler said of the Weimar Republic’s creatures, “dirty democratic politicians“…

Incredible, or perhaps not, that the only penalty the House of Commons itself has imposed on Benton is a 35-day suspension. Of course, the real penalty will be if there is a by-election and he loses his seat, though he would have lost it —or will lose it— at GE 2024 anyway.

Incidentally, there was a time, mostly though not entirely in the years 1993-1995, when I appeared as Counsel pretty much weekly at the Royal Courts of Justice (always in the High Court). Seems long ago now, and indeed is. A different time, and a different world.

Well said.

I agree with tweeter “Betty’s Hotpot”/”@BigThickSlices” too. Reform UK is not properly social-national. I do not value it highly, certainly not to the extent of Matt Goodwin. Britain needs a social-national party which, sadly, does not even exist, at least as yet.

“Our wonderful police”…

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/police-tell-woman-nick-back-32171141

“A woman was left in shock after police allegedly told her to retrieve her stolen £30,000 Lexus car herself.

Alexandra Vlad, 32, woke up on February 6 to find her Lexus UX missing from her driveway in Newham, East London. Using a tracking app on her phone, she found the last known location of her car in Hackney, about six miles away. She called the police and provided all the information but claims she was then instructed to go and get the car herself.

Alexandra, who works in corporate finance, said: “I was more shaken by the experience of dealing with the police than the car being stolen itself. I told them what happened, and that I could see the last location of the engine. They told me they wouldn’t be there for at least an hour. It was a dodgy part of Hackney. I felt unsafe.“

[Daily Mirror]

The police are a prime example of how things generally do not work properly now in Britain, though there are many others— NHS, banks, insurance companies, the whole political and electoral system, repair of the roads, the non-existent border defences etc.

Running on empty

I saw the tweet below:

True, and that tweet, though commonplace in itself, sparked a few thoughts:

How about “imagine someone getting actually disbarred because of only five tweets, mostly on general socio-political topics, not addressed to any individual and, moreover, all true in their content“…See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

As many of my blog readers will be aware, I quite often watch the TV quiz show, The Chase. I do well, I would even say very well, on many or indeed most topics, but fall down on pop/rock music, current “celebrities” and, to a lesser extent, sports.

I saw one Chase yesterday, but the show was from years ago. A young black woman contestant from Birmingham, who knew almost nothing on any topic. Her present activity (at time of recording)? Law student. Her goal? To become a barrister…

There is no doubt in my mind that the Bar has become a kind of dustbin now. That is particularly true of what are often regarded as the lower levels of Bar work, meaning the criminal law Bar and the family law Bar.

Like so many areas of English/British life, the Bar is really running on empty or, to put it another way, living off its reputation from earlier times.

Other areas and institutions “running on empty” in that way? The Monarchy, the armed forces, the Church of England, SIS/MI6 (and probably MI5 too), the BBC and other msm, Parliament, the electoral system, the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, universities (including, and perhaps particularly, Oxford and Cambridge, with their higher expectation), the whole system of awarding of “degrees”, the Foreign Office, the police force etc.

The outward forms are there but devoid, or almost devoid, of content.

Free speech under sustained attack

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/jun/23/students-shocking-growth-support-censorship-ministers-warn.

There is far less intellectual curiosity generally in 2022 as compared to, say, 1962, 1972, or even 1992. It is a societal shift; the world of the student “snowflakes” is just a part of that.

Repression of free speech comes from a number of sources, though the worst is the Jew-Zionist element. Others? The Muslim/Islamist element is one other, though relatively minor except where the speech or other expression directly impinges on the religious sensibilities of the Muslims. The “antifa” element (largely though not entirely tied-in with the Jew-Zionists) is another, as is the State itself, via its control organs (police, security orgs etc).

Beyond that, there is the almost hysterical perceived need by many, especially the young, for a sense of comfortable and unchallenging mental or intellectual security. The same impulse is behind the ever-inflating exam —including degree— awards. The “everyone gets a First” culture.

“Blacks with everything”

Arnold Wesker, the Jewish playwright, wrote a play (filmed for TV a couple of times) called Chips with Everything, but in the UK, in TV ads, we now have “blacks with everything”. Every ad on TV, bar a few, must have, it seems, a black man or woman, regardless of context. Often, a black man with white woman in a quasi-marital set-up, and with mixed-race children.

Likewise, every “British” TV drama (even one set in the Tudor era, the Viking era etc) has to include blacks, sometimes even as historical characters who were unassailably white European, such as Anne Boleyn. I am told that the apparently popular drama Bridgerton has blacks as well: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgerton#Historical_accuracy.

The makers usually weasel out of justified criticism by saying that such programmes are fictional, not meant to be accurate historically etc.

I blogged about this years ago: see

TV Ads and Soaps Are the Propaganda Preferred by the System in the UK

but the intensification of the propaganda campaign has surprised me in its concentration.

For example, this evening, I saw an ad break with a number of ads. Only one, showing a white pensioner enjoying a hearing aid, did not have blacks in it. Some of the others were really ludicrous, such as the ad featuring a black woman as a dairy farmer in England! Are there any such? I do not rule out the remote possibility that one exists somewhere, amid the thousands of white dairy farmers.

Another ad I saw, advertising Cornetto ice-cream, had what seemed to be a basically white family sitting on and around a sofa, with a black man tacked on to one end (like a bookend).

As I have said before, that kind of propaganda is now inescapable, and is not aimed at me (aged 65), not aimed at even 30-somethings; no, it is really aimed at children, or anyway those under 20. People whose critical faculties are as yet not fully developed.

The aim is to normalize the mixed-race society. It is all part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi propaganda campaign, “The Great Replacement”, “The Great Reset” etc.

The international conspiracy is playing a long game, but one the urgency of which has quickened now that we are in 2022, the most significant year since 1989.

Ha. Yes. Some of the prominent Jews on Twitter announce from time to time that they “have Covid” and even “have Covid again“. Some only say so because of an inconclusive test, and without even the mildest symptoms. Pathetic.

Kremenchuk sits between Dnipro and Kiev, on the river Dnieper. The attack, certainly not random, is a clear sign, and perhaps a warning to Ukrainian civilians, that Russian forces are going to move as I predicted on the blog over the past month or so, i.e. northwards from the Sea of Azov coastal zone, following the river, and (once the Donbass and the Kharkov area are secured) northwest and west respectively from those areas, until most of Ukraine east of the Dnieper is secured and then occupied.

“Kremenchuk is one of the most important railway junctions in Central Ukraine (thanks to its geographical position and a bridge over the River Dnipro) and a major river port on the main river of Ukraine.” [Wikipedia]

When does he get the final one?

Elevation of the unworthy

Saw an old (I think) edition of The Chase, actually only the last 10 minutes or so. A “celebrity” edition. Former Conservative Party MP and whip, Gyles Brandreth (the only one I could name on sight); a TV bric a brac bod (Paul Martin) whom I looked up later on Wikipedia but recognized as someone whom I saw on TV a long time ago making completely ignorant remarks about Franco and the Spanish Civil War; some woman called Alex Jones, of whom I had never heard (turns out she is a Welsh TV presenter); and an unpleasantly exhibitionistic gay who, it now appears from Wikipedia, is an actor on Coronation Street called Anthony Cotton.

Suffice to say that, in the final part of the quiz, the bit that I saw, the four were all unbelievably ignorant. Slightly surprised at how poor Brandreth was. Still, that is often the way with “celebrity” quiz shows: most of the time, the said “celebs” (most of whom I do not even recognise), are rock-bottom in terms of knowledge. One exception, seen a while ago, was the foppish interior designer, Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen.

The same has been true of the recent Christmas University Challenge series, featuring famous or at least well-known alumni from various universities including Oxford, Cambridge etc. My wife and I scored better than both teams put together, usually. Again, surprising how poor people such as Sky correspondents and msm scribblers were, unable, for example, to identify fairly easy historical maps such as one showing the 1939-1940 Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland.

Jo Maugham, the prolific Twitter user and barrister, was notable, when he was on the show, both for his over-confidence and his ignorance.

The point is that the said worthies are those who purport to speak or write authoritatively on politics, military affairs, the “panicdemic” etc. I think, though, that people generally are becoming less willing to accept their punditry without question; there is a well-justified suspicion around re. “experts”, and the “panicdemic” has deepened that.

Just when I thought that I would never warm to Jo Maugham, the part-Jewish barrister perhaps best-known to the general public for having battered a fox to death…

Interesting.

Coronavirus: Government panic or supra-government conspiracy?

Worth reading: https://robintilbrook.blogspot.com/2020/11/lockdowns-clueless-panic-or-cunning.html

“If it saves only one life...” [bleat]

On BBC Radio 4 Today (or should that be “Toady”?), the presenter bleats as a question, “but if it [lockdown] saves a life…?“. At least he did not rev it up to “but if it saves even one child’s life…?“. Such lazy (un)thinking. Cars and trucks kill people daily. Are you going to ban them? No? Why not? Because we have to accept, as a society, that a relatively small number of people will be killed because of cars, so that we as a society have cars, have mobility, have road transport and road freight. So what do we do? We try to make road traffic as safe as reasonably possible (the key word being “reasonably“) while keeping society and economy working.

That is the approach that should have been taken, and should be taken, vis a vis “the virus”.

The “lockdown” nonsense (and associated facemask nonsense) will kill (already has killed) more people than “the virus”.

Boris-idiot becomes Boris-chicken

The part-Jew bad joke posing as Prime Minister has ducked addressing the CBI this morning. Apparently it is the first time any prime minister of the UK has failed to appear. One can see why. “Boris” would face a critical and very experienced audience. As in other ways, “Boris” is not up to it.

In fact, Alok Sharma will now address the CBI. Funny to think that that little Indian (who was at the same school as me, though about 10 years later, and I never knew him) is a Cabinet member, now addressing the CBI, and I am sitting, near-penniless, in a rural backwater… The world is upside down.

“Antifa— the Movie”

In the end, “Antifa” are just the “useful idiots” of the System, of NWO/ZOG.

Who Do You Think You Are?

Saw a programme from, I think, some years ago, featuring the TV and film actress called Jane Seymour [real or original name, Joyce Frankenberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Seymour_(actress)].

A half-Jewess, she seemed (in the TV show noted) obsessed by the “Nazis”, and exhibited the kind of (to my perception) ersatz emotion that one often sees displayed by Jews when talking about their relatives who were affected by the large-scale events of the 1940s. I say “ersatz” emotion, because said relatives cannot have been known personally to the Jews now emoting about them. There’s something fake about it all. You don’t see British people, or Germans for that matter, crying because a (never-known) great-aunt or great-grandfather was killed in WW2.

Well, as said above, Jane Seymour did emote from time to time on that TV programme. To adopt the words of Dorothy Parker (about Katharine Hepburn?), Jane Seymour “ran the gamut of emotions from A to B”…

Some of her relatives crossed illegally into Switzerland from France in late 1943, three years after Germany invaded France. Others died in Poland, and one or two were sent to Germany from Poland on one of the “death marches” in which inmates of camps were marched West in order to flee the approach of the Red Army. A strange thing for the Germans to have done, if all they wanted and intended to do was to kill their prisoners (as per the “holocaust” narrative)…

As I say, I know little of the background of that actress. I recall seeing her a long time ago on American TV, maybe after the death of Rodney King in Los Angeles in 2012, but I think after other and earlier events, supporting the black rioting that ensued. She even gave a clenched-fist salute! “They” always support upheaval (unless “they” are the victims of it).

I also seem to recall that she owned a country house in Somerset (I think), and used it partly as a kind of expensive guest house for a while, which if correct seems odd, for someone with so much money (she’s supposedly worth around USD $100M). I believe (read somewhere) that the locals disliked her for some reason but, if that was so, I forget why it was supposed to be so.

Slava!

The toytown police state gradually transitions to a real one. Political or socio-political activity of the traditional sort is frozen by order…as for religious services— banned. Looks as though Christmas itself will be all but banned by order, too. I interpret that as partly an attack on religion, but equally an attack on a way of life.

A way of life, when it disappears, does not leave a vacuum for very long. Another way of life replaces the former.

There is a scarcely-disguised push now by evil transnational powers for a robotic slave or serf-society to replace what has existed for the past several centuries in Europe and beyond. Call it The Great Reset and/or The Great Replacement, or something else, it has to be fought before we do not have the means to fight or even protest.

The NHS is a good idea that is now not working well, and has to some extent become a bureaucracy working mainly for its own employees. It needs radical change, with layers of (mis-) management removed, just cut away, and clinical need (and clinical excellence) put into the driving seat. The once-derided “Matron” figure must return. Standards of cleanliness are terrible now in the NHS. That is perhaps partly because of the number of non-Europeans now employed, but poor management and admin is at least as important.

A fact (re. the egregious Ferguson) that I noted in the blog, yesterday.

https://twitter.com/MarkACollett/status/1323027593633894401?s=20

She’s right. The dancing around the subject in the UK is also, as they now say, “a thing”. A “let’s not be beastly to the blacks” attitude. Example: one of the perhaps brainless TV shows I watch is The Chase, even though I know all the answers except the popular music, sports, “celebrities” and “soaps” ones.

On The Chase, occasionally they have a black contestant with a huge and visible chip on the shoulder. They usually claim to be studying something (superficially) difficult, such as (one, recently seen) Forensic Science. When the contestant gets bumped off, both the presenter and the “Chaser” almost bend over backwards to say how clever the black contestant is, and how unlucky he/she was to lose…

Speaking of The Chase, many readers of my blog will know that I was unjustly disbarred in October 2016, at the instigation ofa pack of Jews: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

On the day of my Tribunal hearing, I was amused to discover that, on the previous day, the “Chaser” known as “The Dark Destroyer”, Shaun Wallace [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_Wallace] had also been a respondent (defendant). He was lucky that most people missed the news about him. Other news, not least the headlines about my case (in the Daily Mail, Express, Independent, various other newspapers, and on Sky News etc) pushed Wallace’s incompetence off the news agenda.

It makes me laugh when the presenter, Bradley Walsh, introduces Wallace as “It’s the legal eagle, The Barrister, the Dark Destroyer that is SHAUN WALLACE!“

I notice that, like a lot of black people with at least some education, Wallace tends to regurgitate irrelevant facts to show that he knows something, even if the facts regurgitated are not really in point.

Actually, most of those who are regarded as highly educated and intelligent on game shows are actually not terribly…so.

In fact, on the The Chase itself, there is Mark Labett, a former maths teacher in a Welsh school, who received an underwhelming Third (3rd-class degree) in Mathematics at Oxford (he was unlucky; no-one gets a Third now, thanks to award inflation).

Then we have, to give another example, Carol Vorderman, another supposed great brain, who read Engineering at Cambridge, but received only a Third in the end: “Her degree was only a Third, a result she has described as having been “disappointing”[6] and is a member of the Nines Club,[7] having achieved a third-class score in each year of study“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Vorderman.

Rachel Riley of Countdown, the woman constantly ranting about “antisemitism”, especially in the Labour Party, received a 2:1 degree, but that was in or about 2008, when awards were already rather more generous than they were in the 1980s.

Actually, a degree is only a (possible) entry ticket: some of the most financially (etc) successful have no degree: Richard Branson, Lord Ashcroft etc.

Reminds me of when I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in 1996-97. Almaty had few “luxury” shops then. I went into a place to buy Paco Rabanne XS and got into conversation in Russian with the little Kazakh policeman who was moonlighting as a security guard. He even let me examine his submachinegun, and talked about its mechanism, magazine capacity etc.
