Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.
Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.
Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.
That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

A reminder that, in international affairs, there is sometimes no “good” option but only “bad” or “worse” options. Sometimes the “least worst” option is also the (relative) “best” at that particular time.
In the example, leaving a terrible tyrant like Saddam Hussein in place might be “bad” (arguably) but deposing him, destroying Iraq, and further destabilizing the region, thus also causing millions to flee westward, might be described as “worse” or even “worst”.

So we are asked to believe that two Reform UK GE 2024 candidates have only just discovered, in the latest case two days before the General Election, that they disagree with their Reform UK colleagues or ex-colleagues?
To me this looks like a set-up, maybe co-ordinated, maybe not.
The latest defector is one Georgie David. I wonder what her provenance might be. She does not look very European in the Sky News photo.
If those two candidates really are against the UK being mainly white Northern European etc, how stupid must they be to have joined with Reform UK in the first place? I might add that the pair are, obviously, though in a minor sense, “traitor” types by nature, to defect like that only days before the “off” (to put it in racing terms).
I doubt that the defections will have any effect on the General Election. In fact, I doubt that the barrage of anti-Reform propaganda being put out by the Conservative Party will do more than perhaps dent a little the Reform UK vote. Even if it did, it would not help the Con Party; any Reform-leaning voters in doubt would not vote Con anyway, but more likely abstain.

The only two where the range is relatively unimportant are Labour, which is (however unmeritoriously) on track for a massive win, it seems, and the LibDems, who seem likely to do modestly well or quite well purely by default, by being the “dustbin” or “tactical vote” choice.
All the rest? Either getting a bloc of significance, or almost nothing. Even the Con result will be very different on 34 MPs (a near wipeout) compared to 99 MPs (very poor but still just about in the game).

What struck me as much as anything is how smart the uniformed police still looked back then; one forgets. No beards, no stubble, no tattoos, and wearing shirts and ties and neat uniforms. What a contrast to the often untidy-looking rabble they (especially in London?) are today, with their beards and tattoos.

“Academic James Wilson wins defamation case against Zionist trolls Mendelsohn and Cantor. Judgment speaks volumes about methods and attitudes of so-called ‘campaigners against antisemitism’.
It’s worth posting this Skwawkbox report in full so people can appreciate what those of us critical of Zionism are up against.
The academic James Wilson was defamed, bullied and lied about by a phalanx of Zionist troll merchants including some who had, or have, jobs in academia – such as the late, and not lamented, Pete Newbon, and the Zionist regime asset David Hirsh.
I have highlighted the names of this Zionist hyaena pack in bold for ease of reference. [Link to the Skwawkbox post at the end.]
University lecturer James Wilson has been awarded £30,000 in damages against James Mendelsohn and Edward Cantor for defamatory material published about him during an argument about supposed antisemitism in the Labour party.
The false claim, that Mr Wilson was a ‘freak [who] takes pictures of kids’, put Mr Wilson and his partner in fear of physical danger, as well as seriously damaging his reputation.
The judge had previously rejected an attempt by Mendelsohn and Cantor to quash the lawsuit. The judgement lays bare that: Mendelsohn and Cantor kept private information and recycled it to the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the anti-left group ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS), so that he could use it to defame Wilson – the information was untrue and based a) on statements from someone the judge found to have lied about Wilson and b) on false claims about a university disciplinary investigation.
Newbon was described by the judge as ‘bullying’. That Newbon, who committed suicided in 2022 after a row with his wife and has been lionised by so-called ‘antisemitism campaigners’ despite his awful record as a serial troll repeatedly disciplined by his employers Northumbria University for his appalling social media conduct, had not told her of Wilson’s lawsuit against him for the defamatory posts.
Mendelsohn and Cantor refused to apologise, mediate or settle, forcing the legal action to proceed to its conclusion. A key witness for the defendants said that she had been offered £5,000 by Mendelsohn and Cantor to testify for them (though the judge did not make a finding that her claim was true).
The defendants further abused and insulted Wilson in the course of their defence – despite, in the case of Cantor, being warned by the judge not to do so.
The defendants – who represented themselves in court apart from the use of a barrister to cross-examine Wilson – wheeled out a number of figures who are well known for their attacks on the left in an attempt to shore up their defence. The judge dismissed them:
*University lecturer David Hirsh, a prominent, pro-Israel proponent of supposed ‘left antisemitism’, who wrote an unintentionally revealing elegy to Pete Newbon after his suicide. Hirsh was called to bolster the defendants’ claim that Wilson had shown ‘unwarrantedly aggressive and belligerent conduct’. The judge rejected Hirsh’s evidence that Wilson was ‘aggressive, unpredictable, persistent and irrational’ and found that Wilson’s communications with him over the spreading of a crowdfund for the defendants’ legal costs were ‘not unreasonable’
*Nathan Comiskey, another advocate of ‘left antisemitism’, who claimed that Wilson contacting him about insulting remarks was ‘highly intrusive and upsetting’ and that he had felt ‘harassed and targeted’. The judge ruled that there was nothing unreasonable in Wilson’s communications and that Comiskey’s testimony did nothing to support the defendants’ claims about supposed unwarranted aggression or belligerence.
*Simon Myerson – a founding signatory of LAAS and supporter of Israel, and a part-time judge recently sanctioned for judicial misconduct for abusive social media posts. Myerson was also a vocal supporter of Newbon, trying to link Jewish author Michael Rosen to Newbon’s suicide, despite a coroner not mentioning Rosen at all in his inquest findings. Mendelsohn and Cantor put forward Wilson’s communications with Myerson, who had shared a post describing Wilson as ‘scum of the earth’, as evidence to support their claim of aggressive behaviour.
The judge ruled that it did nothing of the sort. Joanne Bell and journalist Adam Cailler – more well-known anti-left activists whose correspondence with Wilson was put forward by the defence as supporting evidence. The judge ruled, “I can find nothing in the emails which is particularly aggressive or which points to conduct of the kind said to demonstrate the pleaded propensity [to aggression]”.”
A Myerson attack on Michael Rosen:
The findings, as well as being clearly welcome to the smeared and endangered James Wilson, illuminate much of the approach of the right-wingers who created and propagated the ‘Labour antisemitism’ smear. While so-called ‘antisemitism campaigners’ – lauded by Hirsh in his document supporting the creation of the so-called ‘Pete Newbon award’ – are ready to doxx, insult, smear and abuse those with whom they disagree, the conduct of the defence and the witnesses it put forward or quoted reveal a group that is quick to describe their supposed hurt and fear when someone challenges them and, even in the most reasonable terms, takes issue with the smears and abuse.
Happily, the judge saw through such asymmetrical nonsense. Mr Wilson, in a statement about the result, said: The Judge has found that Mr James Mendelsohn gave Dr Pete Newbon confidential and defamatory information about me. It included a screenshot of a Facebook post that said I was “a freak who took pictures of kids” outside a school with a clear photo of me.
The impression was, as the Judge decided, like a ‘wanted’ poster. When the Facebook post was published originally, there were incidents that made me fear for the safety of me and my family. The police secured its deletion within 24 hours.
The Judge found that the allegations in the Facebook post were untrue. Mr Mendelsohn took a screenshot of the Facebook post in the 24 hours it was published and, having kept it for 19 months, gave it to Dr Newbon in August 2020 knowing Dr Newbon was making abusive attacks on me on Twitter/X and so he could use the screenshot as a weapon against me.
Dr Newbon and Mr Eddy Cantor then published the screenshot on Twitter/X too, as the Judge has found, abuse and bully me. When Dr Newbon realised the screenshot he and Mr Cantor had published put the safety of me and my family at risk, he took no action. I suspect this was on the basis of advice he got from his solicitor [Mark Lewis of Eilat, Israel].
Even when Dr Newbon deleted the screenshot from his feed, he sent it to other people by private message. He also invented seriously defamatory allegations about me that he sent to other people.
I did not want the litigation to start. The Defendants could have settled for zero damages and zero costs, and an agreement to delete and not to further publish the screenshot. Litigation only started because all the Defendants, presumably on advice from their solicitors [Mark Lewis of Eilat, Israel, and the Jewish law firm in London with which he is connected], insisted that publication of the screenshot was in the public interest.
They claimed this despite knowing of the intimidatory incidents. I did not want there to be a trial. What made a trial inevitable was the conduct of the Defendants. I suspect some of the Defendants’ conduct was the result of advice from their solicitors [Lewis, again].
The Defendants’ conduct included:
*Refusing to comply with the Civil Procedure Rules on pre-action conduct.
*Refusing mediation in favour of litigation to drive up my costs and to try to bankrupt me.
*Making repeated threats to bankrupt me, explicitly referring to the impact this would have on my employment and children.
*Making false allegations of anti-Semitism to try to get me to abandon my claim.
*Making misogynistic allegations about my partner and falsely accusing her of conspiring to pervert the course of justice and breaching professional conduct rules.
*Taking the case to trial having stated: (a) they had no money and I would not recover any costs or damages; (b) they did not care about the outcome (they were “blasé about the result”); (c) they saw what they were doing as some sort of revenge (they “regard this as payback time”).
*Refusing to engage sensibly in negotiations to settle the whole claim when both Dr Newbon’s widow and I wanted to quietly and cheaply settle the claim and avoid further publicity after Dr Newbon’s tragic death.
The Defendants received encouragement on social media and financial help in pursuing their defences. The crowdfunding claims made by the Defendants were outrageous. The most distasteful aspect was using Dr Newbon’s death to raise money (“One of us is now sadly silent. Those remaining must today come together and fight”).
The reality was that, having used Dr Newbon’s death to raise money, no serious effort was made to defend Dr Newbon at trial. I tried to protect Dr Newbon’s posthumous reputation by settling the claim without a trial and judgment.
Mr Cantor rejected in principle a settlement for nominal damages and zero costs in November 2021. Rather than getting Mr Cantor out of the litigation for a nominal sum, [his lawyer] [Lewis, again] insisted I would have to pay him money before Mr Cantor would settle the claim.
I do not know whether Mr Cantor himself knew about this, given his subsequent expressions of bemusement about being involved in the proceedings at all.
Both Defendants refused an offer to settle before trial for just a quarter of the damages the Judge has awarded. When the trial started, I avoided seeking a finding of harassment against Dr Newbon. It is unfortunate that detailed information about Dr Newbon’s conduct has been put in the public domain after his death.
In my opinion, the Defendants and/or their solicitors tried to cause me devastating reputational and, through the costs of the proceedings, financial harm because they disagree with my views on the State of Israel. The Defendants’ conduct was encouraged by others who share their views.
Dr Newbon also brought a separate defamation claim [against author Michael Rosen, who had complained about the antisemitic editing of an image showing one of his books].
He had intended to apologise for the conduct which was the subject of that case, but seems to have received dreadful advice [from Mark Lewis, again] to sue rather than simply say sorry. He ended up involved in two completely unnecessary and hopeless legal cases.
As the Judge found, it seemed the Defendants were motivated by an intense dislike if not hatred of me. For my part, I have no antipathy towards the Defendants despite their conduct and its impact on me and my family. I have never published confidential or defamatory information about the Defendants. I have never been abusive to them. I never retaliated to the Defendants’ abuse and bullying. It is ironic that while the Defendants are convinced that I am motivated by prejudice against them, it is they who had an obsessive and irrational dislike of me
[typical of “them”, of course].
I find it sad that the Defendants, their former legal advisers [Lewis etc], and others believed that defending the State of Israel from criticism justified their conduct to me and my family. It is my hope that what has happened to the Defendants and their families, and me and my family, never happens to anyone else again. Please do not use the judgment in my case as a reason to attack or abuse others on social media. Mr Mendelsohn and Mr Cantor definitely do not deserve to be attacked or abused and I urge people not to do so.“

[the above (except for the few additions in square brackets) posted by Dr. David Miller, the academic sacked from Bristol University after a vicious campaign by Jew-Zionists, a campaign led (ostensibly) by a Jewish girl who also, inter alia, tweeted and/or wrote in favour of the decriminalization of bestiality pornography (as also did, incidentally, former MP and Israel supporter Ian Austin, who is now, absurdly, a member of the House of Lords, and who also wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions demanding that I be prosecuted for “crimes” connected to “antisemitism”).]
Surely it is time that the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority took Lewis in hand and (again) to a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal; he should be struck off the solicitors’ roll. He has been lucky in that respect in the past, several times. He may have been cut slack by reason of his various chronic physical and mental problems (multiple sclerosis being one).
Myerson is a lying hypocrite, of course; I have various examples of that. He used to tweet frequently about me, and is a supporter of the two main Jew-Zionist groups that have attacked me (and my free speech rights) for the past decade— “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].
The Bar Standards Board and Judicial Conduct Investigations Office should both take up (as to the latter, again) the case of Myerson, who has been a Recorder as well as working as a barrister, and who possibly still does sit as a Recorder (“part-time judge”). I do not know whether he still does.
I know only the outline of the other Jew-Zionist false witnesses mentioned. Adam Cailler is a scribbler for the Daily Star “newspaper”, while Joanne Bell is prolific on Twitter/X and, until someone was rude to her in a pub, used to describe herself as a “beauty junkie“.
Most of those false witnesses have at some point tweeted against me, many times in the case of Myerson.
The Jew-Zionist lobby, also known as the Israel lobby, abuse law (they call their activities “lawfare”) against both the perceived enemies of the Jews and also against those trying to exercise free speech on various matters social, political, historical etc. An evil pack. I myself have been the Israel lobby’s target for about 12 years (online), if not 48 years (offline).
[Update, 23 August 2024: Myerson was, effectively, sacked as Recorder (p/t judge) in early June 2024, though he was allowed to say publicly that he had “resigned”. Still, good riddance].
[Update, 9 December 2024: the Jew-Zionists have now had the damn cheek to institute a “Pete Newbon Award” for Jews and others (doormats) who “confront antisemitism“, meaning try to bully people and try to close down free speech, just as the late Newbon did. “They” never learn, it seems.”].

The condition for the new delivery of weapons to Kiev by the NATO countries was the adoption in Ukraine of a strict law on mobilization in order to compensate for the losses of Ukrainian forces , "TASS" states, referring to an unnamed diplomat in Brussels.

“The condition for the new delivery of weapons to Kiev by the NATO countries was the adoption in Ukraine of a strict law on mobilization in order to compensate for the losses of Ukrainian forces , “TASS” states, referring to an unnamed diplomat in Brussels. ” The adoption of a new strict law on mobilization in Ukraine was a condition for new deliveries of weapons from NATO countries. The delivery of weapons makes sense only if there is a significant number of trained military personnel who can use these weapons in defensive or offensive operations, as well as with timely filling losses, which is why it is necessary to actively recruit new soldiers,” the diplomat pointed out.”
In other words, and as this blog has repeatedly pointed out, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder, despite press-gangs hauling people off the streets to serve on the collapsing front-lines, and despite the forced recruitment of the middle-aged (even those 60+) and disabled.
Unsurprising that few volunteer to serve: open-ended commitment, with poor pay and poor living conditions, as well as incompetent senior officers.
Soon, there will probably be a general Russian advance in Eastern Ukraine.
It is a terrible situation. Russia should have struck early and hard at Zelensky and his cabal in Kiev, using Spetsnaz forces, and parachute forces en masse, thus decapitating the Kiev regime. This present ghastly attritional war, with its huge destruction, and harm to both humans and their animal companions, would then have been averted.
More tweets etc about that legal matter
It is incredible the media are not interested in a KC and judge – Simon Myerson (@SCynic1) – engaging in crude, dehumanising abuse against a litigant in civil proceedings.
Bizarrely, I asked him – politely – to delete his tweet, he refused and said he’d report me to the police! https://t.co/I2HcuOvF7l
Well, guess what general (((group))) controls or strongly influences the “British” Press, radio and TV?
Note also the threat by Myerson to involve the police. Again typical of “them”. I have endured the same over many years: false and malicious complaints to police etc by connected packs of Jew-Zionists. After a decade of conspiracy, and whining demands to police and the Crown Prosecution Service, they finally succeeded in having me prosecuted. I was eventually convicted in November 2023 and, in March 2024, sentenced to a 9-month “community order” of 15 days or part-days of meetings with the Probation Service etc, as well as costs amounting to £734.

Myerson, despite his almost non-stop vituperation of others, is quick to play the “victim” (((victim))) card when on the defensive; he has done it previously when he thought that the Bar regulator was going to take up a case against him.
I hope that Mr. Wilson or others make what would surely be a thoroughly-justified complaint about him to the Bar Standards Board and/or the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

When I was about 16, I owned a 1972 vinyl containing short works conducted by Davis; a potboiler selection but very good all the same, called Crown Imperial:
Later, in (I think) 1988, when I was just 32 and had a beard (a bad mistake with which I persisted from about 1983 to late 1988), I looked quite like also-bearded Andrew Davis in that same year. I was unaware of the temporary resemblance (the 1972 vinyl had a pre-beard photo of Davis) until an amusing incident happened.
I lived in Little Venice, London, and had the use, at the time, of a box at the Royal Albert Hall. I went there occasionally. One summer evening in 1988, I did just that. Andrew Davis was not conducting, but he was conducting on other nights at the Albert Hall in that same season, notably at the famous Last Night of the Proms (September 1988).
I breakfasted daily at the fashionable Raoul’s Cafe in Little Venice in those days. One day, a few days after I had been to the Albert Hall, I went into the cafe, sat, and noticed a young couple almost staring at me, smiling as if trying to catch my attention. I politely smiled back, at which the young woman said “we saw you at the Albert Hall the other night!“
I had no idea that Andrew Davis had just conducted at the Albert Hall, and no idea how much like him I looked at the time, so replied “oh, yes, I was there. I am there occasionally.“
The young couple, who told me that they were just visiting from New Zealand, said that they were staying one or two houses down from the semi-detached Victorian villa in Lanark Road, a stone’s throw from Raoul’s, in which I lived, and they thought that they had seen me. They continued:
“Are you often at the Albert Hall?“, to which I replied, in my innocence, “yes, when I am invited.”
After a few more pleasantries, the conversation ended, and the young couple departed from the cafe, though I saw them once or twice in succeeding days, as they entered a house; they were indeed staying almost next door to me. They smiled at me in an oddly awestruck way, though I took it to be mere courtesy.
Scroll on a day or so, and I encountered a friend of mine, whom I had met, along with the girl whom he later married, when we were all Bar Finals students at the Inns of Court School of Law in Gray’s Inn (at the time, all prospective English barristers had to attend there). His first words were “Helen and I thought you were conducting the Last Night of the Proms on TV the other night! You have an uncanny resemblance to Andrew Davis!” Others later made similar remarks, having also seen the performance on television.
No doubt the young couple returned to New Zealand telling people that, on their trip to London, they had encountered the famous conductor Andrew Davis, and what a modest fellow he was…
My little story has a twist. Almost a decade later, maybe in 1995 or 1996, I was having a drink with a lady and a few other regular habitues of “the Bunker”, our name for the basement bar at the Colonnade Hotel, Little Venice, when a bearded fellow entered from the hotel. The bar was a small and intimate one, so I said good evening, but then exclaimed “you know, you look just like Andrew Davis, the conductor“, to which he replied “I am Andrew Davis“…
Well, I bought Davis a beer (I offered Champagne, but beer was his modest choice), and gave him a few (no doubt, to his mind, both simplistic and unwanted) thoughts about my taste in music, and he eventually exited.
[Colonnade Hotel, Little Venice, London. The street entrance to “the Bunker” was through that entrance marked “2” in the photograph, then down steep steps]

I am a former police civilian and I agree – they person’s presence was meant as a provocation (just as happens with other gatherings and other groups of people). The officer was right to point it out
That refers to the recent provocation staged by the evil “Campaign Against Antisemitism” pack, in this case fronted by their chief spokesperson, one Gideon Falter. In at least one previous case, a Crown Court judge found Falter’s sworn testimony not credible.
I have not seen anything about that context or background in the msm reports about the recent incident, though. What a surprise (not)…

Had Laxton not won his appeal to Crown Court from magistrates’ court, he would probably have been dismissed from the Foreign Office, or at least demoted; his career would have ended. “Their” usual tactics, again.
The Crown Court judge did not believe Falter’s testimony.
Note also how the initial conviction was reported in all of the msm newspapers, but (ironically) only the Jewish Chronicle reported the success of the appeal. That newspaper however failed to name Falter at all, or as to Falter having given testimony that the court decided was “unreliable” (to put it diplomatically).
Seems, though, that I am not alone in recalling Falter’s “perjury” (though he was never charged with that) or his “unreliable testimony” (that is a much more “diplomatic” way of putting it, I suppose):
Looks like Falter’s encounter with the cop on his way back from synogogue where apparently he was being filmed for his safety (!!) is something of a re- run of this old chestnut. If we can find this story, where are the journalists? pic.twitter.com/aIildP1dp2
“Where are the journalists?“, asks tweeter Jackie Walker. There are no real journalists these days, just laughable 20-somethings, semi-literate scribblers, who want not to impede their pathetic careers by going up against the Israel lobby; also, older scribblers with similar motivations and inhibitions, who know that going against the Jewish lobby or Israel might mean the loss of very high salaries, in the hundreds of thousands in some cases.
"Openly Jewish" Gideon Falter isn't just some poor chap trying to cross the road he's the former Chair Conservative Friends of Israel & current CEO of Campaign Against Antisemitism which doggedly conflates any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. The media ignore this.

@RishiSunak Why do you have time to address Gideon Falter’s anxiety about his treatment by the police?
Mark Rowley should go nowhere. @metpoliceuk have done a stellar job managing the protests. Gideon was intent on infiltrating a peaceful protest to suit his own agenda.
Leaving aside the fact that many Jews are obviously entirely happy to go into central London on weekends and even join peace marches, how do you rate Gideon Falter's reliability as a witness? "The diplomat, the bishop, the bomber, and the fruit bat" https://t.co/aUw6xVXXWG
With context, I can now speak. Falter is again trying to divide the police and the Jews. He's been seen to walk in opposition to the march rather than cross the road as he claims he's been trying to do. The arrest threat is appropriate. The CAA is a joke. https://t.co/SOrd1sjxXz
This is important. I’ve often been told by police to take a wide diversion to go to get across a march or some such. Having experienced the French & Belgian police managing marches, I can say how incredibly lucky we are to have polite police, who shouldn’t be faced with this. https://t.co/MGaFpAXR41
He took over 30 minutes of their time – all to protect him, whilst he was trying to get footage to bring Mark Rowley down. A stunt – part of a 6 month campaign to close down protests against the Israeli government’s actions. This is all politics – nothing to do with Judaism.
Falter trying to dominate the radio caller by speaking over him. Impudent bastard. Look at (part-Jewish) Rachel Johnson too, making faces when that caller speaks. She is both “entitled” and very very stupid.
This latest stunt by Falter is all good as it's highlighted the agenda of Scionist Extremism and it's collusion with the MSM to an awful lot more people.
The mass media, the police, and the “Clown” Prosecution Service should all wake up to the manipulations being carried out by the Jewish/Israel lobby in general, and the malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] in particular.
There is a hidden agenda (not deeply hidden though): if the Metropolitan Police Commissioner resigns, or is dismissed, because of the present contrived “CAA”/general Jew-Zionist storm, the “CAA” will have sent the message to the police (and “Clown” Prosecution Service) “do as we wish— or else”…The police and CPS will then cower whenever the “CAA” or other Israel-lobby creatures write a letter or pick up the telephone.

A much-overworked word, “top”, as shown in that tweet. Likewise, barristers and other lawyers are often (and usually wrongly) described as “top“; as in “top lawyer Mark Lewis“, which years ago was used re. Mark Lewis, the Jewish Zionist solicitor briefly well-known a decade or more ago during the “phonehacking” affair, who fled to Israel several years ago following his “conviction” by a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for having posted some violently insulting social media posts.
Despite Lewis having been described for several years as “top lawyer” by various msm outlets, Lewis’s own Counsel at that Tribunal hearing said that Lewis owned only his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 per week.
Moral of the story? Never trust the msm.
If anyone wants to read more about Lewis, use the search box on the blog.
The flip-side of “top” may be “disgraced“, as (again, wrongly) used about me by “the usual suspects” and their scribbler dupes in the msm; in my case by reason of my (wrongful and unlawful) disbarment in 2016 and my recent conviction for having allegedly posted [the truth] on this blog.
“Top“, in that sense, is what might be called “Sun-speak”, used in tabloid “newspapers” but rarely in real life, along with “scorcher“, “fury“, “tot” (for a small child, not a small drink of spirits), and”far-right” (social-national) etc.

What Gullis prefers not to understand is that people are voting, or intending to vote, Reform UK not because they expect their candidates, most of them, to win Commons seats or other elected positions (beyond local council level), but precisely because they know that voting Reform UK will hole the Conservative ship below the waterline, and sink it, along with the Conservative candidates.
Those voting Reform UK want to punish the existing government of clowns, even at the expense of inviting into government another bunch of clowns possibly even more toxic.
Polls show that almost all Reform UK voters believe that Reform UK will win few seats; even in their own constituencies where they vote, most (60%) do not believe that the Reform candidate will win.
What those voters are doing is making a protest vote against the whole rigged Westminster system, FPTP etc; they are also punishing the Conservative Party for being so useless generally, and especially on immigration and migration invasion, on law and order, and on things like NHS services. They are passing judgment on the Conservative Party, as well as saying “we want and deserve better” and “we want our country back” (which latter may or may not be possible now).
Reform UK voters, most of them, would never vote directly for Labour, not even tactically, but are going to steel themselves to vote Reform UK knowing that Labour victories, and some LibDem victories, will be the result. If Reform UK wins a few Commons seats, then (for those voters) that would be a bonus.
An appeal such as that by Gullis probably encourages Reform UK intending voters to stick to their guns.
[Update, 15 May 2024: Well, Gullis has now had his answer— Labour won that mayoral election, if only “by a neck, cleverly”, as they say on the racecourse. Labour 37.8%, Conservative 37.5%, Independent 11.7%, Reform UK 5.8%, and Greens 5.2%. The Con candidate would probably have won if Reform UK did not exist; most Reform UK voters would have voted Con, were the present Government not so utterly useless. There were few votes separating Con and Lab— 1,508 votes, in fact. The Reform UK candidate attracted 34,471 votes… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_West_Midlands_mayoral_election].
Most Britons think another world war is likely within the next 5-10 years

It’s almost impossible in the Western World to not interact with some form of AI every single day.
Is that healthy?
What impact is that having on society?
What is AI and the smart grid and what does it mean for you?
I once (about 1980) read an unpublished typescript in a dusty file (typed and placed in said file sometime around 1930 but a translation from a German original of about 1923) talking about how, within about 200 years (i.e. sometime around 2100 and thereafter), a web of part-human, part-robot “creatures” would criss-cross the Earth, but above the Earth (if I recall aright), and human beings would be to some extent dependent upon and in thrall to that web of intelligent human-robot creatures.
Was that just imaginative nonsense? I do not know but, looking at the Internet, looking at the rapid progress of AI, and looking at how human society is today already very dependent upon computerized systems etc (not only for physical activities but also for decision-making), I cannot simply dismiss it as over-imaginative speculation, or even a hoax.

So how are we in the social-national world going to deal with the regime of those who will be “elected” dictators of the UK in less than a year (maybe only a few months)? Answers “on a postcard”, but don’t expect me to publish them— free speech is already all but dead in the UK, and the expected Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting etc will finish the job, destroying what little is left of freedom of expression in this country.

“The Pentagon chief announced a threat to global energy due to attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Russian oil refineries.
Lloyd Austin announced this at a hearing in the US Senate. “ Certainly these attacks could have a knock-on effect on the global energy situation ,” he said.
At the same time, the head of the American defense department spoke in favor of Kiev stopping such actions. According to him, Ukraine “is better off pursuing tactical and operational goals that can directly affect current battles.”
Ukrainian drones have attacked several Russian oil refineries since the beginning of March. Among them are factories in the Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Ryazan regions, and Krasnodar Territory.“
The West, particularly the USA, is shooting itself in the foot. It gives money, arms, and ammunition to the Kiev regime, which uses part of that to attack oil refineries in Russia. Result— the world price of oil increases, Russia makes even more surplus from the many refineries still operating normally, and the West, including the USA, pays through the nose even more for oil, making its citizens poorer and its industries less competitive.
“A trans woman who threatened to kill, blind and break the backs of woman’s rights campaigners Kellie-Jay Keen – known as Posie Parker – and Helen Joyce has been spared jail.
Layla Le Fey, 44, was handed a suspended jail sentence after the court heard she had been struggling with her mental health when she made the treats of extreme violence and arson towards the activists.
One post from Le Fey said: ‘I’m a trans woman and I’m not ashamed to admit I’d be happy to physically kick the s*** out of you and pull your eyes out and break your spine’.
In another post, Le Fey wrote: ‘If you want to prove your point that some trans people are extremely violent, I’m game’, while a third she said she wanted to burn Mrs Keen – founder of the group Standing for Women.
In a victim statement, Mrs Keen said she wanted to make clear the threats against her were made by a man.
‘A violent man committed a crime,’ she said. The violent threats had far greater impact on my husband and children than me. They are very worried for my safety.
‘Terrorising women into silence was the intent of this man. I want to make it clear, this crime was committed by a man.’
“She added: ‘This is what happens when women speak up. I didn’t want to elevate this person’s comments, so I did not respond. These tweets disturbed me and I’ve no doubt given the opportunity this person would have carried out these threats.”She added: ‘This is what happens when women speak up.

In fact, Tim Montgomerie is too mild. Abortion at a late stage is closer to murder than infanticide. Infanticide is usually done by a mother not long after birth; there are usually compelling extenuations of psychology and physiology. Abortion as we know it today is a planned and organized process, coldly executed, and often involving considerable profit.
A point made by me on the blog in the past, several times. Idiotic Gordon Brown, who thought himself so very clever was, I believe, the “brains” behind “working tax credits”, i.e. a system whereby employers could pay scheiss wages to their employees, who then had their pay topped-up by the State. “Welfare” for poor-paying employers. Madness.
Terrible. I am glad to say that I have never been on “Universal Credit”, but were I not exempt by reason of age I just might have been, especially since the Jewish lobby (sub nom “UK Lawyers for Israel”) had the Bar Standards Board contrive a case to have me disbarred in 2016.
We hear much about the “epidemic of shoplifting” and other crime, but I am wondering how much of that is driven by the fact that the social security/”welfare” system now does not really provide a sufficient safety net for those without paid work or private means. Not all crime is driven by real need, of course, but much is.

Emily Thornberry is a freeloading pro-Israel hog, riding high on her portfolio of rented-out houses and the monies she has taken from public funds. A parasite.
[Emily Thornberry at a Zionist dinner in London, with the former Israeli ambassador, Mark Regev (at centre)]

As most readers will be aware, I was recently sentenced for breach of the notorious police-state Communications Act 2003, s.127. My sentence was to complete, between now and the end of the year, 15 (notional) days or part-days similar to the old-style “probation”; mostly quite short meetings with the Probation Service.
I also have to pay a notional sum re. costs of my trial in the magistrates’ court, assessed at £734. My crowdfunder, first published several days ago, has reached £195, leaving another £539 to be raised to meet that main target, or another £805 to meet my full target.

As to the blog itself, it will continue to be published daily, or near-daily.
The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal and Crown (“Clown”?) Prosecution Service (which the “CAA” —typically—badgered for 7+ years to prosecute me) completely failed to persuade the sentencing judge to curtail publication of, or censor the content of, the blog.
I myself, however, have decided to make the blog gradually more focussed on analysis, and less on comment, as well as making it more diplomatic, but without compromise on ideology or principle.
The “CAA” is evidently embarrassed by the ultimate result. Their endless whining and demanding may have led to me being charged and —after a year— convicted , and to my having to waste much time defending myself, but the ultimate result, apart from the £734 in financial imposts (which may be largely covered by donations), is that I have to meet once every 1-3 weeks with the Probation Service for the rest of this year; 15 meetings in all; I have already attended one (short and not at all unpleasant).
The “CAA” crowed mightily on Twitter/X when I was convicted (November 2023), but since the sentencing hearing (14 March 2024), they have not tweeted once about me. Ha.

The former Tory deputy chair, Lee Anderson, has refused to apologise for comments that saw him suspended from the party
I have a shrewd idea (or maybe not so shrewd— we shall see…) that “30p Lee” Anderson may have jettisoned the Conservative Party rather than the other way around. After all, the Con Party is staring down the barrel of an electoral meltdown which may finish off arguably the longest-surviving political party in the world.
The Conservative Party was looking at quite likely defeat in Anderson’s constituency, but now maybe not (if Anderson is reinstated). If Anderson is not reinstated, he may well be able to stay on as MP either as an Independent or, more likely, after having stood as Reform Party candidate. He now has real national profile.
The maverick MP has been suspended from being under the Conservative Party whip.
Naturally, I do not agree with his statement that London is “run by Muslims”. Sadiq Khan is from a Muslim background, but has been pretty much in the Jew-Zionist pocket for many years.
It would be more accurate to characterize Sadiq Khan as “anti-white”.
As to Anderson himself, I suggest that he is trying to bolster his position vis a vis the General Election expected later this year.
David Marquand, a former MP for Ashfield (1966-1977; he is still alive, at 89): “Originally a tentative supporter of Blair’s New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that “New Labour has ‘modernised’ the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition”, even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old “Labourite” tradition.” [Wikipedia]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Marquand.
Marquand defected to the SDP and then was honourable enough to step down as MP, not contesting the by-election.
In fact, Marquand was himself rather intellectual:
“Marquand addressed Britain’s relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain’s failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country’s developmental needs.[7] In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: “The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction”.[8]” [Wikipedia].
In fact, Ashfield is not quite as “safe Labour” as the history might suggest superficially. Gloria de Piero won in 2010 by a majority of under half a point (0.4%, 192 votes) from a LibDem.
While de Piero’s majority increased in 2015 (as the LibDems imploded), in 2017 she beat the Conservative candidate by less than one point (0.9%, 441 votes). An Ashfield Independent came third with over 9% of the vote.
In 2019, Lee Anderson won convincingly: 39.3% of the vote, followed in second (27.6%) by another “Ashfield Independent”, Jason Zadrozny [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Zadrozny], who has had a chequered political and personal history. In third place came Labour, with only 24.4%.
Zadrozny is going to contest the seat at GE 2024.
So far, apart from Anderson (who may or may not be standing as Conservative Party candidate, depending on whether he gets back the Conservative whip), only the Ashfield Independent and Reform UK are presently known to be likely to stand at GE 2024, but a full field is almost guaranteed. There may be a dozen or more candidates.
At first, I thought that Anderson could probably be written off as post-GE 2024 MP, but now am not so sure. He has now (whether by design or not) distanced himself from the unpopular Conservative leadership —and possibly from the equally-unpopular Conservative Party— is anti-EU, anti-migration invasion etc, and is now known nationwide. He must have at least a chance of retaining his seat. If he does, and if he also retains it as a “Conservative” MP, he might be one of 100 or even as few as 50 such MPs. Who knows what might then happen?“
[from this blog on a previous day].
It may be that Anderson would be better off electorally standing either for Reform UK or as Independent than he would be as a Conservative Party candidate. Voters like “celebrity”; look at how Caroline Lucas has built up her constituency vote at Brighton Pavilion over the years, and that despite Green Party candidates elsewhere generally losing their deposits with votes under 5%.

He is being sentenced on Friday. There is a chance he will get a custodial sentence, but there is also the possibility he won’t. We are preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. It’s a weird feeling right now because we don’t know whether this will be our last week together for a while, but despite this Sam is in a good place. When you can hold your head up high and honestly say your intentions were good, and when you have the truth on your side, you can take whatever is thrown at you.
Sam has recorded a video that will be uploaded after Friday, sharing his thoughts and a message for you all. If he gets a custodial sentence, that will be how he speaks. If he walks away a free man, he will be able to post again.
Pictures are from last week when we went away for a few nights as a family and it was really lovely to spend that time together.“

“This is the terrifying moment a teenage girl was sprayed in the face with ammonia and bleach in a random attack on her doorstep.
Shannelle Farrier was left in excruciating pain and needed her eyes washed out with several litres of water at hospital after brute David Nicholson threw the chemicals in her face. The shocking assault was captured on CCTV in the hall way of the 19-year-old’s flat in Newcastle.
She said: “I felt burning in my eyes and my mouth. I was screaming in pain yelling that something was in my eyes. I honestly thought that I was going to die and screaming out for help. It was instant, I didn’t know what was happening. They did it without rhyme or reason.
“There was a strong smell of bleach. We thought it was an acid attack. I eventually ended up unconscious. My friend had rang an ambulance who turned up in protective masks and hauled me in the shower to wash off as much of the substance as possible.“
Shannelle was rushed to Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary where her eyes were swilled with litres of water to return them to a normal Ph level. She spent a total of five hours being treated before she returned home. She said: “I felt violated. The attack happened in my own home.
“After that, I went to stay with my mother for months. For me, last Christmas was totally ruined. I spent the entire time worrying about my sight. I couldn’t leave my home, I had to quit my college course as I was too nervous to be outside. I was constantly looking over my shoulder.
Nicholson, of Hauxley Drive, Gosforth, Newcastle, was arrested a week after the attack. He later admitted assault. He was sentenced to 20 months, suspended for two years with rehabilitation requirements and an alcohol abstinence requirement at Newcastle Crown Court earlier this week (December 20).
The thug was also given a five-year restraining order to protect the victim. Shannelle has now slammed the sentence, claiming he got off lightly after he intended to cause harm.“

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

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

In 1877, The Times leader column tackled the issue of "oral telegraphy". We declared, authoritatively, that people who hope to send "audible sounds across the Atlantic", were frankly very silly. Telephones had uses in the home, perhaps – to summon servants. But that was it. 1/ pic.twitter.com/DUpG8ZIUBI
I do not say “never believe the experts“, but the fact is that they (and, more so yet, scribblers pretending to be expert) are usually wrong, especially when they try to predict the future, or when unexpected events happen.
The recent “Covid” “panicdemic” showed up ignorance of the supposed experts of the so-called SAGE committee (I called it “DUMB”— Department Under Matt and Boris).
There are, actually hundreds of similar examples, especially if you move from scientific-milieu examples to those of politics and economics. Lenin thought that the Bolsheviks would come to power when the 1905 “Revolution” (uprising) was taking place. Wrong… and Lenin did not think that the Tsarist state of Russia would fall as a result of the first (Spring) Revolution of 1917. Wrong again…

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

Zakharova: The refusal of the OSCE to provide us with a list of those killed in Buca – proof that everything was staged " The refusal to provide the Russian side and the media with the list of those killed in Bucha indicates that it was a staging carried out by Ukraine with the… pic.twitter.com/cDWe6lxEWH
At first, I myself believed that the 2022 devastation in Bucha (a small township or suburb very close to, or effectively part of, Kiev) was a real event, albeit one committed by poorly-disciplined allies of Russia (Chechens etc). It is claimed that hundreds of civilians were killed and/or tortured.
Now, I wonder whether it ever happened at all (as reported). The much-photographed devastation seems to have been mainly in one small section of a single street; burnt-out Russian vehicles, destroyed single-storey houses etc. Hard to get to the truth. It may lie somewhere in the middle.

She seems to be mentally disturbed, and/or perhaps a drug-abuser. God help the USA (and Europe) if that crazed woman becomes U.S. President.
Her Wikipedia entry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley] contains a couple of interesting facts. Turns out that she is an Indian (Sikh), and that her personal wealth, estimated at USD $1M in 2018, had jumped to USD $8M only 2-3 years later, in 2021. How?

Saw a tweet from a tweeter claiming that “Hitler was a great failure“. So tweeted a professed fortune-teller [“I read tarot cards with numerology, & zodiac signs“] with exactly two Twitter/X followers and who is following 91 others…
Laugh of the day? Maybe; maybe just unconscious irony of the day…
In fact, I think I see what that tweeter was getting at with his comment, but think also that I shall not comment further on it today…
“A restaurant that drowned three hundred cats a month to fuel Vietnam’s cruel meat trade has been closed for good.
The Gia Bảo restaurant in Thai Nguyen city, in the country’s northeast, ran a lucrative trade selling cats, likely including stolen pets, drowned in a bucket one after another.
For five years, Pham Quoc Doanh, 37, ran the establishment after struggling to feed his family selling ‘other normal food and drinks’.
‘It was then I tried selling cat meat since there was no other available restaurant serving this in the area,’ he told Metro.
Doanh reached out to the Humane Society International, campaigning to ban the trade in Vietnam, who offered him a one-time grant to set up a grocery store instead.
On December 6, he symbolically tore down the banners outside his slaughterhouse and restaurant and began a new life.
‘For a while now I have felt a genuine desire to leave the cruel cat meat business and switch to something else as soon as possible. When I think of all the thousands of cats I’ve slaughtered and served up here over the years, it’s upsetting,’ he said.
‘Cat theft is so common in Vietnam that I know many of the cats sold here were someone’s loved family companion, and I feel very sorry about that.’
An estimated one million cats are killed each year for their meat in Vietnam, according to the charity – despite 71 per cent of the population favouring a ban.“
[Daily Mail]
Well, my opinion of Vietnam has never been very high (I admit that I have never actually been there), but at least 71% of the population apparently want this trade banned, and they do seem (from what I read today) to be taking steps in the right direction.

“Zelensky’s Office called for making it more difficult to legalize Ukrainians abroad in order to return them to Ukraine.
Advisor to the head of the Office, Mikhail Podolyak, believes that the 5 million Ukrainians who fled the country with the beginning of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization received too favorable conditions to remain in the West forever.
He admitted that Kyiv is interested in bringing them back and giving them the opportunity to “repay their debt to the state.“
