Pakistani carpetbagger Sadiq Khan now comes out with his real views—openly hostile to (real, white) British people. White Genocide is real, albeit by stealth. We are being replaced, and not by groups in any way better than or superior to us.

Harsh but true about Sadiq Khan, who is an enemy of the British people.

That will be amusing to see, if a video is released (I doubt any will be, though). It seems that the audience was only 100-strong. “Jack Monroe”, as a brand, is a busted flush.

Not a situation about which I know much. Seems to be something to do with the “trans” nonsense, which is hard to avoid in the UK these days.

Just saw this, which covers the same situation:

Apparently, that individual was not only convicted in the Crown Court of sex assault on a minor but, on another occasion, attacked a man with a 9-iron (golf club), and was convicted at Crown Court in relation to that.

Lucky in his judges, though— has never been imprisoned, as far as I have read at least.

Apart from anything else, it should be illegal to claim to be a “lawyer” of any kind (or no specific kind) if unqualified. I myself really was a lawyer (barrister of the Bar of England and Wales) until improperly and indeed unlawfully disbarred in 2016, and I still am (as far as I know) “Attorney and Counsellor at Law” at the Bar of the State of New York, not that I care either way. I have not been disbarred in New York, anyway, nor “threatened” with the same.

Despite the foregoing, I have no interest in describing myself (as I still could) as “lawyer“. I do think that the public should be protected from fake lawyers or persons claiming to be lawyers.

[Update, same day: I have now seen the tweets below…

“CILEX” is the organization set up some decades ago to provide a professional structure for legal executives such as solicitors’ clerks, paralegals etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_Institute_of_Legal_Executives. Those with the qualification are, however, not “lawyers” as such. In the case in question, though, it seems that the person under examination never had any such qualification anyway, if that second tweet is accurate.]

Britain and the USA (etc) have been taken over, to some extent, by covert forms of the above (albeit with nuance), via both the msm and the educational system.

Suddenly, all over the Northern hemisphere, in developed countries (USA, Canada, EU states), huge wildfires start and, at the same time, a huge propaganda campaign involving the UN and WEF goes into overdrive, blaming “climate change”/”global warming”, and demanding “net zero” to (somehow…) prevent it.

What is the real agenda here?

Does the Dutch Government have any idea what it would be like if even one nuclear missile struck its territory? Apart from almost everything in the Netherlands being blown up or set on fire, and those people not killed being heavily irradiated, the system of dykes and polders would be largely smashed, flooding with seawater 80% of whatever might be left standing.

Don’t escalate the Ukraine war. Stop funding the Jew Zelensky’s corrupt, brutal, and shambolic dictatorship.

The difference is that many young southern Europeans have always (since the 19thC) looked to emigrate for a probably/possibly better life or lifestyle. In the UK, though, such sentiment has only really taken off in recent decades, and especially the past 20 years.

I myself became eligible for the UK State Pension about a year ago, but (without going into the detail of all my petty and not-very-interesting financial affairs) receive only half of the maximum amount (mainly by reason of having spent much time overseas).

The present government is toast unless it retains the Triple Lock (as blogged previously). Persons aged over 65 are now the only demographic still heavily voting for Conservative Party candidates.

The only hope for the Kiev regime is some kind of revolution or palace revolution in Moscow. Failing that, Russia cannot lose in the medium to long term.

Saturday quiz

Ah…a terrible result for me too this week, one of the worst in the past several years of doing this Saturday quiz. I was even beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10 points; this week I could manage only a mere 3/10. I only knew the answers to questions 3, 6, and 10. Had I thought longer, I should have got numbers 5 and 8 as well, but there it is.

Incidentally, question 6 may have been wrongly-put anyway (though I still got the answer); some people think that the phrase in question only originated in or about 1964, not 1956. I certainly thought so until today.

The Future of Work and Pay

I notice that one of my blog posts (one of the least-read over the years, in fact), published in 2017, has had a couple of hits. Rereading it, I think that it has stood up quite well: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/09/14/the-future-of-work-and-pay/.

The Kiev regime no longer has adventurers and chancers, and would-be mercenaries, lining up to volunteer, not now that a posting to the front line means a death sentence, so the regime has widened the scope of conscription, and has press-gangs operating, pulling potential cannon-fodder off the streets.

Georgia should stick to walnuts and wine, and leave war to those capable of engaging in it seriously.

For once I agree with that (usually idiotic) tweeter, “@jdpoc”.

In the old saying, “even a stopped clock is right once [or twice] per day“.

Piers Morgan talking about “where the line is” on satire, i.e. as to when should it not exist, when might it even be deemed unlawful. Of course, Morgan is just another msm moneygrubber and careerist who knows that, to continue his lucrative nonsense, he has to keep in with the Jew-Zionist cabals which, to a large extent, control and/or influence the TV industry and the msm in general.

TV shows have, for well over 60 years, “offended” the British people. No redress…

…and guess what group, more than any other, has “offended” the British people, slandered them, trashed their beliefs, culture, and way of life? That’s right…

Morgan even has the gall to claim that he supports freedom of expression, presumably excepting from that any situation where a Jew, or a group of Jews, however small in number, claims “offence” (and the “Campaign Against AntiSemitism” is really very small, just a handful of Jew-Zionists tweeting and causing trouble, making false and malicious complaints to police, Twitter, MPs, cafes or local authorities showing anti-Zionist films or hosting anti-Zionist comedians etc; but wealthy Jews stumped up £600,000+ last year so that the “CAA” could continue with what many call “lawfare” against freedom of expression).

The Church of England stopped being a spiritual organization many many years ago. The pro-Israel, pro-Jew-Zionist C. of E. under Welby is merely the gravestone on top.

Starmer-Labour’s troops are deserting

The Labour Party, under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, is on track, arguably, to form a government in 2024 (though the fat lady has not yet sung), but that fake “popularity” is wholly by default, because we the people have, at present, a Conservative Party regime so corrupt, shambolic, and useless that even fairly hard-core former Conservative Party voters are either voting elsewhere or, in far greater numbers, abstaining in by-elections.

The “Labour surge” in the opinion polls is purely that— contempt for the Conservative Party government’s uselessness, which has been the case since the 2010 election that brought the part-Jews, David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne to power.

That shambolic inability to govern properly continued under (also part-Jewish) Theresa May and then (this becomes ridiculous) part-Jew Boris Johnson and his cronies. Then, of course, we endured a few weeks of utter nonsense under ignorant little careerist “ho” Liz Truss and her “African at Eton” Chancellor, Kwasi (aka Woollyhead Trussbanger). Liz Truss was then sacked (by any other word) and replaced by Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak, arguably the least convincing of the lot (apart from, obviously, Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger).

In the above-noted circumstances, and after 13+ years (except during the “Covid” “panicdemic” of 2020-22) of “austerity” policies, which were actually counter-productive, it is scarcely surprising that people are more than unenthusiastic (contemptuous, despairing) about the Conservative Party.

There again, Starmer-Labour is now not even promising much of a change from the policies (if they can be so dignified) of the present Conservative Party omnishambles. In fact, the difference is mostly meaningless hot air from Starmer and, mainly, Rachel Reeves.

Labour Party rank-and-file members (who numbered, under Corbyn, about 600,000, but who now number about 385,000 and that number falling fast), may well think “what is the point in tramping round streets canvassing etc, just so that a ‘Con-lite’, Jewish-lobby, Starmer government can be installed and then carry out policies almost identical to those of Sunak?”

See, for example, https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/most-labour-voters-motivated-by-hostility-towards-government-26h8tk3xw: most present Labour voters “hostile” to the Sunak misgovernment but “unconvinced” by Starmer and his crowd. Exactly so.

This is the moment when, if we had a truly open “democracy”, a social-national party might sweep the board. However, here again we come up against the well-entrenched Jew-Zionist lobby, which makes sure (so far) that anything even mildly “national”, let alone social-national, is demonized, using all the msm puppets and controlled outlets, and ranging from news to (unfunny) comedy. One example would be Baddiel, perhaps, arguably, describable as “the unthinking man’s Jonathan Miller“.

Reverting to the semi-rigged battle between equally-misnamed “Labour” and “Conservative”, it seems to me that, in the expected 2024 General Election, the most important factor will not be ideological division, nor any enthusiasm for either System party, but how many voters will abstain, and where, and why.

The steady and fairly considerable outflow of Labour Party members will not be decisive at its present rate, not before 2025. About 5,000 per month. In 17 months (i.e. until the last possible date of the next general election), that might be 90,000, out of 385,000 members at present.

It may be that, in a general election, voter abstentions on the Con side will be fewer than at the recent by-elections, and that there may be many more than expected on the Lab side. Also, that Starmer and Rachel Reeves and Yvette Cooper will be quite literally hated so much that many may either abstain, or vote non-Labour, simply to prevent their having power.

I do not describe myself as a “conspiracy theorist”, but it is certainly true that, in the years since I have been running this blog, most of my predictions or those with which I have agreed, have indeed come to pass.

That one sounds like an enemy of the British people. The System gave him an OBE. What does that say? That the System itself is also the enemy of the British people.

Another pro-Jewish-lobby drone, apart from anything else…

Not “insane” exactly, but signed up to a transnational conspiracy which has taken on certain shibboleths: the “trans” nonsense, the whole “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”, the “holocaust” farrago and other Jewish-lobby propaganda, “standing with” “Ukraine” (Kiev regime), “Black Lives Matter”, “refugees welcome”, and so on.

Incidentally, interesting that “I stand with Ukraine” is a construction only ever seen otherwise in “I stand with Israel“…

My view is that there is nothing wrong anyway with being “racist” or “antisemitic” in a defensive way. There is certainly nothing unlawful about either, as such, in England, as judges have repeatedly confirmed.

See above thoughts, earlier on today’s blog post…

If you vote Labour now and/or in 2024 (not in 1926, not in 1945, not in 1966, not in 1979, not even in 1997, but now, or next year), you are voting for people such as Lisa Nandy, Keir Starmer etc, who are so intellectually dishonest that they cannot distinguish a man from a woman, cannot distinguish themselves from Sunak and his pack of idiots on policy, and who, just like the “Conservatives”, are totally in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

Is that so? I hope not. The Baltic states must be allowed to govern themselves, so long as they do not threaten Russia.

Look at the big picture as it now is.

Sanctions against Russia have mostly hurt the EU, the UK, and the USA, not Russia. Western and Central Europe is facing economic and socio-political meltdown if inflation continues to rise and incomes to drop.

Russia (unlike Ukraine) is a world nuclear power, with maybe 6,000 usable nuclear weapons; it has hundreds of millions of people, and territory nearly twice the size of the USA (and over 70 times the size of the UK).

Much of the world outside the NATO alliance is at least neutral towards Russia, and many states are with Russia on Ukraine.

Russia is benefiting financially from oil and gas sales to non-sanctions countries, and they are benefiting from trade with Russia, trade much of which was formerly USA-Russia or EU-Russia.

Ukraine simply cannot “win” against Russia, however many tanks and other pieces of equipment are supplied to the regime in Kiev. It is a logical impossibility. The only possibilities, in the medium-term, say up to 2030, are Russian victory over the whole of the eastern part of Ukraine, as well as Crimea and the Black Sea coastal zone, or a stalemate, after which US/EU/UK support for the Kiev regime will eventually fall away.

The next US President will probably scale back US support for Zelensky and his regime, and will almost certainly not increase it.

transgender activist who served 30 years in jail for attempted murder has told the crowd at a Trans Pride march if they saw a ‘TERF’, they should punch them in the face.

Sarah Jane Baker was one of the speakers at the Trans+ Pride event in London yesterday and used her speech to call for violence against those critical of trans ideology.

She told the cheering crowd: ‘I was gonna come here and be really fluffy and be really nice and say yeah be really lovely and queer and gay… Nah, if you see a TERF, punch them in the f****** face.‘”

The NHS is still letting staff waste more than 26,000 hours a year attending ‘woke’ events as waiting lists have soared to a record 7.4million.

The Daily Mail revealed last year how ‘staff networks’ used £1million of taxpayers cash to put on non-clinical activities between 2019 and 2022.

These events, often during the working day, focused on transgender issues, sexuality and racism. They included a ‘tea and rainbow cake’ picnic and a special session on pronouns.

The answer, as of today— 396. No less than 396 utter mugs, each sending pseudo-activist and grifter/fraudster “Jack Monroe” anything from £3.50 to £44 a month via the Patreon website.

Most of the msm are now avoiding “Jack Monroe”, but it seems that a few dozy scribblers and talking heads have still not got the message (see below):

More narcissistic self-promotion. Other women (mainly) have tried the same “I am a victim” attention-seeking, including Jess Phillips MP and “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe”, the latter of whom most recently claimed to have reporters and stray peasants peering in her windows and ringing her doorbell. “Jack Monroe” also claimed that “celebrities” like her (ha…) were protected by a special Essex Police “celebrity and VIP” squad, which in fact does not exist. Neither did the “reporters” and stray peasants supposedly peering in at her windows and ringing doorbells etc.

One good piece of news is that another online self-promoter, part-Jew “activist” “Russ in Cheshire” (another supposedly “anti-Tory” “fighter”, like “Supertanskiii” and “Man Behaving Dadly”), has “left Twitter”. If so, very good news, but “Jack Monroe” has “left Twitter” many times and always returns with tales further stretching credulity (mental health emergencies, fake cancer diagnoses, terror threats, stalkers etc) and begging for more “donations”.

In fact, “Russ in Cheshire” has apparently merely moved his, er, operation over to the new Threads social media site; so he lives on to “grift” another day, so to speak.

It is only human to think that someone with great wealth, especially when they did not inherit it, must have a great mind. Sadly, however, that is usually not the case (though Elon Musk is certainly a very interesting character).

Well, unless they have done an El Cid on him (dead but propped up on his horse to rally the troops), looks as though Lukashenko’s death or near-death has been greatly exaggerated…

The armed forces of the UK now do almost nothing for the people of the UK, and there is no credible enemy state within a thousand miles or more in any direction.

Meanwhile, the real enemies are much closer and cannot easily be stopped by ships, aircraft, armour or infantry: the migrant invaders (only 5%-10% of whom arrive in small boats across the Channel), the Zionist lobby in the UK, the supporters of militant Islamism (many of whom live in the UK’s cities), and the lawless, feral, urban hordes (some of which are even ethnically British/English).

That is the way “they” are— chuck them out of the front door and (((they))) try to come back through a rear window.

As blogged in the past, Russia is well-placed to realize autarky, especially if its economy can be further diversified, and in any case China and numerous smaller countries are still trading with Russia. In fact, Russia’s trade with many countries seems to be increasing.

Sven Longshanks

Another nail in the coffin of free speech in the UK. The nail may have been hammered in by the police and Crown Prosecution Service, but behind them stood, as so often, (((the usual suspects))).

I never listened to the podcast in question, mainly because I have no patience with long discussions which (arguably) lead nowhere, but whatever he and his guests said, there was no real reason to censor him, let alone to imprison him. Now, unless there is any successful appeal on conviction or sentence, he will be actually incarcerated for well over a year.

The case of “Sven Longshanks” does not stand alone. It is part of a whole campaign being waged —mainly— by the Jewish/Zionist lobby in the UK.

“Lawfare”.

Internet “radio” podcasts seem to be a major, perhaps the major, target. There have been a number of podcasters prosecuted and even imprisoned over the past couple of years.

Strange to think that Britain used to be known as almost the home and centre of freedom of expression in the world, along with the USA and the British white dominions.

I hope that “Sven Longshanks” has friends or comrades who will assist him while he is incarcerated, send him money via the official mechanism, and keep in communication with him. We should always support “the men behind the wire”.

Funny. The old woman is a nuisance on the one hand, but on the other hand someone who is keeping her immediate neighbourhood safe, rather like the volunteers in parts of the socialist world before 1989 (and, indeed, in National Socialist Germany in the 1930s and early 1940s).

[badge of a “Druzhinnik”, a Soviet local law-and-order volunteer]

As a matter of fact, if that old woman lived near me, I might have avoided having one wheel (yes, I too am puzzled) stolen from my car in the middle of the night not so long ago, a theft which the police not only failed to prevent or “detect” (despite evidential material existing) but also in which they had very little interest at all. In a word, useless.

That video clip reminds me of a personal reminiscence, from a time when the police were possibly more numerous and certainly more effective.

In the early 1980s, my then girlfriend drove (with me as passenger) from London to Reigate, Surrey, where my parents lived. Her vehicle was an ex-Post Office van, a Ford Transit with side windows, which she intended (never happened) to turn into a camper van for herself and her small children. It was part-yellow, part-red-brown, having been half-painted over by the previous owner. It looked rather scruffy, to be honest.

While the van was parked outside my parents’ house, on a driveway visible from the local road, there was a ring at the door. My mother went to the door. A polite, smart-looking young policeman was there, uniformed and wearing a cap. Incidentally, no beard or visible tattoos, unlike some of the scruffy police you see today. His police car was outside in the road.

My girlfriend cowered behind a pillar (thinking that she had probably done something wrong with the van) as the policeman explained to my mother that the reason why he was inquiring was “because that vehicle does not seem to fit the neighbourhood“! By today’s standards, incredible. I doubt that it would happen these days, anywhere in the UK. Surrey Police, then, was a very efficient force. Almost a Swiss level of efficiency (and curiosity).

Not only fear, but people are imperfect— that is where law, or prevention, comes in.

In fact, that is one more misleading headline: see the YouGov poll:

Yes, technically, Sunak came third out of “two”, but he got 27%, while Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer did almost as badly— 30%.

“Don’t Know” means, here, “I despise and have no respect for either“…

What was the choice of the remaining 3%, or were the figures rounded?

Misleading headline. Fewer than half of those 18-24 actively support the idea.

There is cogent anecdotal and other evidence that at least a small number of big cats live in the countryside. I have heard tales myself (not from the msm).

So at least 79% of the public had little interest in the Coronation, to the extent of “celebrating” it (drinking, mainly). Who are the 2% called “Don’t Knows”? Those on “lost weekends”, presumably.

What a horrible and cruel scene.

As to so-called “racism”, I distinguish between purely “offensive”, and actually “defensive“, “racism” (and, indeed, “antisemitism”).

White European culture and civilization must be defended.

Odds-on that tweeter Carole Flint lives in some leafy suburb, far from the most negative effects of the migration invasion.

…and, in the Bakhmut/Artyomovsk area, the “musicians” are still playing….

In a slightly different sense, that is what has happened in the UK, USA, France and other countries.

I never much liked Gaddafi, but he is surely correct here, and Libya is now a lawless corrupt mess. At least Gaddafi ran it reasonably efficiently, and also kept sub-Saharan Africans out of Europe.

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil part of the NWO conspiracy.

However, it is no good opposing the Zionists in the Middle East while not opposing their machinations in the EU and UK.

Ukraine (Kiev-regime) is running out of soldiers. One can see why.

Hard for the Jews (in Israel) to continue to present themselves as perennial “victims” when advanced jet aircraft supplied by or paid for by the American taxpayer mercilessly attack Arab real victims, who have no means of self-defence at all.

Comment about Starmer’s latest speech. I agree with the extract quoted by Rentoul but, having said that, one could say that “Labour” is no longer “socialist” or even broadly “social” (politically) and is (just like the “Conservatives”) also completely out of touch.

Both System parties, and both entirely in the pocket of the Jewish-supremacist lobby.

Import the uncivilized non-white world (and allow the non-whites to breed prolifically, and also fail to control them) and you import these sorts of social problems.

Not that all such problems are caused by non-whites, but most are. About 90%, even though the non-whites are “only” about 20% of the UK population, and about 40%-50% (?) of the London population.

The Eastern European states, and the poorer EU states generally, love the EU for its financial largesse, the redistribution of wealth from the “old EU” to the “new EU”. Ireland, the Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc. For the larger, longer-membership, western and central European states, the wealthier ones, the EU is disastrous. UK (until recently), France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands; also Sweden, Denmark etc.

There is also the problem of non-white migration-invasion.

The original EEC/EC was not so bad — relaxed trade and travel, even relatively easy residence and work—. It worked because the original EEC populations were closely-related northern European nations, and because it was primarily a trading bloc, not an ever-expanding political project.

There was no non-white migration-invasion, because Libya under Gaddafi, Morocco, and Algeria all stopped Africans from coming across the Mediterranean; also, the NWO had not yet destabilized the Middle East and Afghanistan. Even the Roma Gypsies were “imprisoned” behind the so-called “Iron Curtain” until 1989, and so unable to travel to the UK and other parts of Western Europe.

In the long-term, perhaps even medium-term, Israel is doomed.

The “musicians” are still playing.

Britain’s compensation bill for victims killed or maimed by AstraZeneca‘s Covid jab could theoretically exceed £1billion, MailOnline can reveal. 

Around 90 families are currently pursuing legal action against the pharmaceutical titan, claiming the jab was essentially a defective product.

Lawyers representing the claimants believe that some of the cases could be worth up to £20m in compensation, which is roughly 160 times more than the £120,000 Government support available. They hope to be able to prove that the vaccine was to blame in court.

I think that many people, even today, will be honest if they find a purse or wallet. In the past few years, I myself have found two or three. One was a kind of wallet I happened to see in a clifftop parking place. I was there, unusually, early one morning, not long after dawn. I saw the item in the half-light, was curious, so went to pick it up.

The wallet contained about £50 in cash, I think also a debit card, a couple of other bits and pieces, and a student railcard in the name of some girl.

I went home, thinking that the girl must be fairly local, in view of the station which had issued the railcard, only about 8 miles from that car park. Her surname was unusual, so I called the few telephone numbers (landlines) with the same name. Only one answered. An old lady, so no-go.

In the end, I drove to the local police station (its desk manned by an old fellow, a civilian support person) and gave in the wallet. I made the point that there was a large college near the rail station which issued the card, so the girl was almost certainly one of the students there.

I hope that the girl got back her money and the rest. As for what a young girl aged 16-18 was doing in a clifftop car park and (presumably) after dark, and how she managed to lose her wallet, maybe it is better not to speculate…

The second wallet was larger, newer, and packed with both money and cards (an incredible number, literally dozens, neatly and individually carefully tucked into pockets), and had been left in a shopping trolley at Waitrose. I took it in to the help desk, and a member of staff took it from me. Probably the woman who lost it got it back soon afterwards. I imagine that she must have called the store in a panic.

Not that I promise to be a good citizen if someone leaves an attache case containing a million pounds somewhere, which amount of cash could not, in my view, be the property of any honest person. No, the (so far, hypothetical) million pounds stays with me, in that event.

The Conservative Democratic conference. Hall almost empty. Rows and rows of empty seats. The photos show no more than 100 in the audience. In fact, I think that I addressed a larger audience than this one when I spoke at the London Forum in 2017.

Hard to judge the age demographic accurately from the photos, but apart from a few younger persons under 30 (possibly students), and a few youngish blonde women (possibly journalists), the audience seems to have been predominantly grey-haired or bald. I should say, at a guess, that there were more people over 70 than there were people under 50.

I find myself turning back to Nietzsche, particularly Also Sprach Zarathustra, not read for many years.

The nanny state…again.

About 22-23 years ago, I was en route from a social call in Hereford to the South Coast when the police stopped me in Wiltshire in the middle of the night. I had expected to overnight in or near Hereford, but in the end decided to drive through the night, starting after midnight.

I had had a couple of pints of cider during the (hot summer) day, and a couple of pints of Guinness in the evening. I was not intoxicated in the slightest.

The drive back was devoid of traffic. I scarcely saw any other vehicle, though I had to brake urgently when a black deer ran in front of my car before scrambling into woodland on the road that follows the course of the river Wye.

Sometime around 2 in the morning, I crossed an empty roundabout in Wiltshire and, not long after that, I noticed in the rear-view mirror a car a distance behind me. That car, a police vehicle, then blasted my car with bright headlights, so bright that they were shocking. Irresponsible. They then applied their blue lights.

I pulled over, and one of the two police approached. He asked me where I was headed, from where I had come, and why was I out so late. They probably had already checked the car’s registration (it was not my car), and so asked for no licence or insurance details. Just as well. I had a foreign licence at the time, and I find talking/explaining to the police rather boring.

The policeman had a perfunctory look and rummage in the back of the car, and then decided (on my admission that I had had a Guinness) to breathalyze me. Zero reading.

Turned out that a police camera operator had seen me cross that empty roundabout “erratically”. I was probably tired.

Anyway, the policeman was polite and friendly enough and, above all, let me go!

Still, how long before one has to blow into devices even in the car to test both sobriety and wakefulness?

True, sleepiness, like intoxication, can be dangerous to both a driver and to others, but sometimes these State control measures go too far, and destroy all freedom and pleasure in life.

Incidentally, that was both the first and the last time that I was breathalyzed. I rarely have even one drink now if driving (and drink little generally in any case). The only time in my life when I would have been driving actually intoxicated on a regular basis would have been when living in the Caribbean for a while, nearly a quarter-century ago. A few mojitos and a few daiquiris can seriously impair your driving ability…

An army, however huge, well-motivated, and well-equipped, against a nuclear power, even one which may not be ideologically-motivated or efficient, is little more than a display of strength which may become a field of cinders.

Seems long ago now. I was last there in 2008.

Clever idea. BTW, I have no financial interest in the product!

The “trans” nonsense has just become absolutely ridiculous in the UK and USA.

Leaving “Madame Hatchet” aside, that is quite right, but what is not said in the tweet is that any visionaries are frozen out by the System, and also attacked relentlessly by, mostly, the Jew-Zionist element and its “antifa” “useful idiots”…

Not so sure that the graph does show that, but I cannot think of many people or types of people, who would go out and vote Conservative Party at present, certainly not from active approbation of Conservative Party policy or actual rule. The most the Con Party can hope for is that there are enough people who actively oppose the Labour Party to mitigate the losses.

Even the “stop the migration-invasion” policy (re the cross-Channel invasion) has been proven to be pretty much hot air. The invaders still flood in, aided and abetted by those who could be called many things but “traitor” is closest, albeit in the “non-legal” sense.

It is very doubtful that Starmer-Labour will do any better in any area than the present bunch of idiots but, as a plea to the voters, that is not much to say…

Once again, a battle based not on which party is most popular but which party is least popular. Not very inspiring.

Good grief. I wonder whether that always works. After all, you only get one chance.

Might be useful sometime.

Various UK institutions such as the civil service, police, CPS, legal professions, judiciary, RNLI, even the National Trust are, so to speak, “riddled with traitors“.

The Bank pumped £450billion into the economy to help steer Britain through the pandemic but experts told MPs that helped to create the price spiral that it is now battling contain.

Inflation has been above 10 per cent since last summer and – though figures out today could see it dip below that level – more rate rises are likely to be needed before the battle against it is won.”

The arrest of a French publisher by UK counter-terrorism police over claims he took part in protests in Paris was described as an ‘assault on freedom of expression’ yesterday.

Ernest Moret, the foreign rights manager for Éditions La Fabrique in Paris, was stopped by ports officers and questioned for six hours under terrorism laws when he arrived at St Pancras station on the Eurostar from Paris at 6.30pm on Monday to attend a book fair.

His colleague Stella Magliani-Belkacem, the editorial director at the Paris-based publishing house, who was with him at the time of the arrest, told the Guardian: ‘When we were on the platform, two people, a woman and a guy, told us they were counter-terrorist police.

‘They showed a paper called section 7 of the Terrorism Act of 2000 and said they had the right to ask him about demonstrations in France.’ She added: ‘I’m still shaking, we are in shock about what happened.'”

Were it to be flattened by e.g. a nuclear war, we might have to start from scratch, which might take hundreds, maybe thousands or tens of thousands of years (until a similar level of development is reached). How long would depend on whether “only” Europe, North America, and Eurasia were destroyed, or whether the other parts of the world are also flattened.

Now, a leaked trove of US intelligence documents has given us the clearest answer to date. It is not good news for Kyiv, and it could be about to get a whole lot worse.

Overall, Russia has lost more men and more firepower than the Ukrainians, the documents show, but its losses are nowhere near as devastating as many in the West had been led to believe – with less than two Russian casualties for every one Ukrainian.

ammunition for Ukraine’s Soviet-era air defences, which make up 90 per cent of its anti-air defences when you take low-altitude weapons like Stingers out of the equation, is perilously low.

Rockets for its BUK launchers were due to run out on March 31, while its S-300 systems only had enough to last until early May.

If those rockets do run out, the documents warn Ukraine will not only struggle to protect its cities but also its troops as it masses them for the expected counter-attack.

With Western stocks of ammunition and armour all-but exhausted, it is unlikely Ukraine’s allies will be able to build another army any time soon – added to which, the death toll may mean President Zelensky is running low on troops.

Police investigating an alleged hate crime over the display of golliwogs in an Essex pub are to examine online messages by the pub’s landlord in which he apparently joked about Mississippi lynchings alongside an image of the racist dolls.

Essex police confiscated the golliwogs last week after receiving a complaint about an alleged crime.

The force has now confirmed that detectives conducting the investigation are aware of Ryley’s Facebook posts. It is understood the posts are being reviewed as part of the investigation.

Earlier this week, a source close to Suella Braverman suggested Essex police had been reprimanded by the home secretary. The police force denied this.

Sunder Katwala, the director of the integration thinktank British Future, said: “It is important that police can do their job. These Facebook posts are important…”

Are there actually any British people in or around this absurd misgovernment of Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak?

Apart from that aspect, it must be comforting to the people of Essex that the Essex Police have time to waste on “investigations” about golliwogs, arising from complaints by troublemaking organizations. After all, it is not as if Essex has any real crime occurring within its boundaries…

I have never been there, though I knew a few people who did visit, and who liked it, but that was then… 1970s and 1980s.

[Russian Hill, San Francisco]

So far this year there have been 39 murders in the city. The San Francisco Police Department is currently experiencing a shortage of 541 officers. 

Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk was among a host of tech leaders hitting out at the lawlessness in the wake of Lee’s slaying, writing on Twitter: ‘Many people I know have been severely assaulted.

‘Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.’

Locals told DailyMail.com they blamed the ‘soft-on-crime’ progressive policies brought in by the likes of former District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was tossed from office in a recall election last year.

‘It’s too liberal. Too much. And we’re paying for it,’ said one. ‘Repeat offenders are back out on the streets in a heartbeat and there’s nothing we can do about it. We’re scared.’

[Daily Mail].

So who is that former District Attorney whose policies seem to have led to the present chaos? Here he is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesa_Boudin:

Boudin was born in New York City to Jewish parents.[9]

His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members. When Boudin was 14 months old, both were arrested and convicted of murder for their role as getaway car drivers in the 1981 Brink’s robbery in Rockland County, New York.[10] His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.[11][12]

After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Hyde ParkChicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.[13] Boudin reports that he did not learn to read until age nine.[14] Kathy Boudin was released under parole supervision in 2003.[15][16] Gilbert was released in 2021.[17]

Boudin descends from a long left-wing lineage. His great-grand-uncle, Louis B. Boudin,[18] was a Marxist theoretician and author of a two-volume history of the Supreme Court‘s influence on American government, and his grandfather Leonard Boudin was an attorney who represented controversial clients, such as Fidel Castro and Paul Robeson.[19] His uncle Michael Boudin[18] was a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and his grand-uncle Isidor Feinstein Stone (“I. F. Stone”) was an independent progressive journalist.”

[Wikipedia].

Well, who would have thought it?

Incidentally, “Bernardine Dohrn was born Bernardine Ohrnstein in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1942, and grew up in Whitefish Bay, an upper-middle-class suburb of Milwaukee.[1] Her father, Bernard D. Ohrnstein, changed the family surname to Dohrn (his middle initial plus the first letters of his last name) when Bernardine was in high school.[2]

Her father was Jewish, although the name change was intended to obscure that.”

A squadren 1st sas. The same story was told to me after his death by one of his old mates who was with him at the time. Their job in france was to sabotage transport, communications, weapons. etc. in the day time they would live in the forests. Making their way back from a hard night blowing things up, they came across a group of french resistance soldiers who had captured a young German soldier. The German was very frightened, he begged the sas to take him with them as he said the french were going to make him dig his own grave and shoot him. One of the sas men said joking, lucky they don’t shoot you then make you dig your grave. The French weren’t very happy when the sas took him but they did. They told him that if he tried to escape the French would kill him. Every night the sas would go out and do their job and when they got back the German would have a brew waiting,as he was happy to be alive. When they flew back home they took the German with them. They had done their job and saved the life of a young German soldier. My dad’s friend also told me that the German soldier had attended an sas reunion many years later. This breed of soldier is fast dying out. I hope these stories will live on lest we forget them

“Trans” nonsense

Society in the western world has for some time been displaying signs of total lunacy, and in various ways.

Rather ironic surname (of the Guardian journalist, that is), in view of the subject-matter.

The Jew Zelensky is somewhere between dictator and figurehead, or between figurehead and puppet, and his regime has shot or imprisoned its political opponents, closed down trade unions, and repressed free speech.

It is noticeable that, in Western news photos and footage, the Ukrainian children repatriated to Ukraine, after having spent time in Russia, always look happy and well-fed.

Why on Earth would Russia, which left Marxism-Leninism behind 30+ years ago, want to invade Western Europe (inc. UK)? How could it even try? The whole idea is ludicrous.

Wien— das ist’s!

More “trans” nonsense

We know the way all of that is probably going to end, somewhere down the line…

What is it when, like —and yet unlike— those souls noted in Gray’s Elegy, some “wade through slaughter“, not “to a throne“, but simply “pro bono publico“? Duty? Higher law? “For the welfare of the people is the highest law“: salus populi suprema lex esto [Cicero, De Legibus].

I’ll vote for that…

That comes out very strongly in certain recent msm/System campaigns, including (but not exhaustively) the “trans” nonsense, pro-“Ukraine” (Zelensky regime), “Black Lives Matter” (etc).

Exactly.

…apply that to contemporary “Scottish” politics…

American memories

Idly “surfing the net”, I came across a brief obituary of a lady I had met a few times between late 1989 and early 1993, during which years I spent about half my time in the USA (mostly in New Jersey and New York City). I shall not name the lady or her family.

In 1989, I travelled with my then fiancee from New Jersey (near the Jersey Shore) to Fox Chapel, an affluent semi-rural area near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we having been invited to spend Thanksgiving with a family there.

The couple who owned the large, comfortable house were in their fifties, and their daughter, aged about 25, was a friend of my then fiancee. The father of that family was a nuclear scientist, and his wife what the Americans charmingly call a “homemaker”, a much more respectful term, I think, than the Anglo-German terms “housewife” or “hausfrau”. American to the core, they had both been born and brought up in the Mid-West, but had also lived in Belgium, and had travelled very widely, to dozens of countries from Mexico to the Soviet Union.

The house, though on a semi-rural, semi-suburban road with a few other similarly-large houses, had a large hinterland, mostly not so much a “garden” as a tranche of forest; I think they said about 40 acres, where some of Pennsylvania’s millions of deer were often seen.

The lady’s husband was a tough but very decent type, very solid (in both senses), rather like a more intelligent version of John Wayne (to my European perception). He was a fan of American football, and I think that he had played football himself at college (university) level.

I admired the lady’s collection of Palekh lacquer boxes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palekh_miniature], and also their very American cars, his a Cadillac (I forget the model), and hers a Lincoln Town Car, probably my own favourite at the time, though I myself did not have a licence then (I only held a driving licence —a foreign one— from 1999, and a UK one from 2002).

The couple were very hospitable to me; I have always remembered them with good feelings.

I last saw the couple in Maryland, in (I think) 1992.

The lady mentioned died a few years ago, it seems, aged 85 (at that time, at least, her husband was still living). I was unaware until today, not having kept up with any of those I knew or met so long ago.

I have been struck recently by renewed realization at how transient life is in any one incarnation. We must do what we can while we are still on the Earth.
