The wicked flourish like the green bay tree, indeed…That bitch should be really grateful to her inept and stupid (and, arguende, over-sentenced) husband. Not only has she got shot of a husband with whom she was probably bored anyway, but she managed to take over his position as MP and now, it appears, sold her story to the Press for £25,000! As good as the plot of a cheap novel by one or another disgraced Conservative MP…
As to why I think that Elphicke was over-sentenced (probably the only thing with which I might agree with Natalie Elphicke), when you look at what Elphicke actually did, it amounted to making very inept attempts to seduce three women. His actions make “cringeworthy” reading, but being a complete idiot and rather unpleasant is not a crime. If it were, there would be few MPs left (yay! ha ha!).
More seriously, a sentence of a month, or a couple of months, would have been enough to mark the badness of his actions. He would still have lost his seat: while that would not have been automatic —the sentence has to be a year or more for that— there is no doubt that he would have gone, and probably within a few months.
There is much too much leniency in some sentencing, but also a great deal of over-sentencing. For example, we see daily in the tabloid or local Press, “she (and it is often a woman) was spared prison” (often but not always because the woman has a child). There are many male thugs too who are let off lightly.
I saw a report about how a gang of “people” attacked two policemen trying to arrest a motor thief, and poured petrol on them, but failed to find matches or a lighter. Sentence for the main perpetrator? 3 years, 9 months, so that one will be out in less than two years. Another got a short sentence, while a third was given a “community penalty”!
Jez Turner of the London Forum got a year for making a short speech! More than a quarter of what he would have got for trying to murder two policemen! (note: those criminals with the petrol were not actually charged with attempted murder; why not?).
The video itself is nice; I could do without the repetitive and noisy musical soundtrack, though.

But @Drchrisparry, we are not strong at sea. Our fleet of destroyers and frigates, much better suited to our real needs rather than these fantasies of world power, has been savagely reduced to pay for these enormous floating car parks. https://t.co/CepnH8ZlKo
A curious article @NavyLookout as it seems to think that the RN is still a 'first-tier navy'. The purpose and nature of your fleet is plainly important in your choice of ship. But by what definition is the RN not already a second (if not a third) tier navy? https://t.co/3MEumHgHG5
2/2 @johndstats The real naval race of the 20th century was the one with the USA, which we lost. https://t.co/lroUDyVKkE But we did not need to go this far in self-abasement. Turning our Navy into a sort of sub-contractor for the USN is just wrong. https://t.co/DVWtQMUasF
Again exactly right. From Roman times to our own, the position of an ally can quickly become that of a vassal. The two world wars, and particularly the unnecessary world struggle with the German Reich, killed Britain as a world power. Britain gave many of its bases overseas to the USA, and now many “British” bases (RAF bases) in Britain are really American bases. Britain is still America’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier“, in the words of Roosevelt.

This video from Laura Towler and Mark Collett is worth seeing. Laura’s account [from about 8 minutes in] of how her bank account was frozen (without right of access, appeal or much information), frozen because of her political views, is chilling.
That is the future that awaits. Dissidents will have their bank accounts closed and/or stolen, and you will be stuffed then even if you have cash for immediate necessities, because almost everything will require a debit or credit card. In the UK, it is halfway there already.
For a number of years, and until about 11 years ago, I used to stay in hotels (mainly in the UK) about 10 days per month, usually arranging things via Internet and paying by debit card. Once, I wanted to pay by cash when I was somewhere in England unexpectedly, and was told that I not only had to get permission to pay cash but also pay a deposit (about the same amount as, or maybe slightly less than, the cost of one night’s stay)!
I once went to Hong Kong without more than a small amount of cash, only a debit card and a credit card. The organization operating the debit card (a major bank) had a serious technical problem that affected much of East Asia. I was unable to use that card. Fortunately, I had the credit card too, and my suite at the Sheraton in Kowloon was paid for in advance, but under other circumstances I might have been stuck for days, without shelter or food.
Imagine a future where there is no cash. You are then entirely dependent on the centralized money power. You can become an unperson overnight, unable to pay utility bills, get fuel for your car, food for yourself, and so on.
All very true, but the eternal bleat of the self-describing “Left” is a function of weakness. No programme, no policy, no power, just a continual “it’s unfair” bleat.
The above idiot tweeter (a teacher…wouldn’t you know? Almost a guarantee of ignorance) thinks that the importation of millions of immigrants, and their having bred for decades now, resulting in a population of over 70 million, compared to 56 million in the 1990s, has nothing to do with homelessness! Oh, no, nothing at all! It’s all the fault of government! Didn’t you know? It is the fault of government, failing to wave a magic wand to solve the (homelessness and housing) problem(s).
Well, when government has waved a magic wand to solve the terrible and increasing housing problems in the UK, perhaps tweeter “@JamieKay22” can get government to wave that wand for a second time, and thus magically transform the migrant-invaders of all sorts (and their UK-born offspring), almost all of whom are totally useless, and totally unemployable, into the brain surgeons, nurses, entrepreneurs and public service staff that we are always being told that they are…
Well, my grandfather fought in WW2 (France/Dunkirk and, later, Burma). He was older than average, having been born in 1901. Even someone who was 18 in 1944 and so might just have served in, or even actually “fought” in, WW2 by the time it ended (Spring 1945), would have to have been born no later than 1926. In other words, such a person would now be at least 94 years old.
What evidence is there that the few surviving “veterans” of WW2, 94+ years old, are “anti-racists”, let alone “Remainers”? None. Typical pseudo-socialist drivel. Yet note how many similar types have “liked” that last tweet. Hundreds…
Incidentally, that tweeter has no less than 37,000 Twitter followers (over 10x more than I had when the Jewish lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018). Another indication of how pointless Twitter is as a tool of real influence.
Seems that “@JamieKay22” does not like the truth being said; see below:
A reminder about the existence of Jud Suss [The Jew Suss], a German film of 1940 (remake of a 1934 one), which is now banned by the BBC, other TV channels, and even YouTube, despite it having been based on real historical events in the Germany of the 18th Century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jud_S%C3%BC%C3%9F.
I once had a copy of a booklet which listed all the “antisemitic” famous composers, writers, artists, scientists, inventors etc of Europe. Hundreds. Most people who are educated and intelligent enough to think for themselves see the problem.
A very significant cultural figure, influential in his day and later. I once had a lease of a house in Cornwall with (originally) 26 bedrooms. In the entrance hall or Outer Hall, there was panelling to head height, and above that original William Morris wallpaper, though sadly decayed thanks to over a century of the damp Cornish climate, and neglect.

— Mrs Ronald Raccoon.. 2024 Parliamentary candidate (@CentralReserva9) October 4, 2020
This “Femi Sorry” person is a UK-born Nigerian who has been pushed and puffed by the System merely because he can string a few words together, and because there is now a campaign for more blacks in the msm and politics (despite the proportion on TV and in the Commons being in fact at least as great as that in the population).
“Femi” has parents who both have well-paid positions in the NHS, his father being a surgeon, his mother a paediatrician.
“Femi” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole] apparently “worked in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and human rights agencies” for a few years, presumably as a “gopher”. He “gave up his job” (whatever that was; teaboy?) at age 27 in order to campaign against Brexit. His Wikipedia entry does not point out that his organization, “Our Future Our Choice”, was bankrolled by an EU-funded entity.
Wikipedia: “Oluwole regularly appeared in the media during the process of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.[16][17] Oluwole has written for The Independent,[18]The Guardian,[19] and the Metro,[20] and is a regular guest on Talkradio.” “Femi” has also attacked “antisemitism”, apparently. Ah, I think we can see who or what is pulling the strings of this puppet…
In fact, the tweet from “@CentralReserva9” is slightly unfair. “Femi” is still only 30. Perhaps he hopes that Keir Starmer Labour will eventually ask him to become a Labour Party MP. Alternatively, that he can build on his now-weekly appearance on the Sky News talking head show, which features such as Nick Ferrari and Rachel Johnson.
“Femi” tweets fairly often (as I write, several times in one hour) and has about a quarter of a million “followers” on Twitter. I should imagine that his real political influence is close to zero, but it says a lot about the naivety of so many self-describing “Left” people on Twitter that they see him as some sort of, so to speak, “great white hope”. After all, what has he ever done, really? Blagged a fairly soft degree (from Nottingham) in French and Law, worked in very minor jobs for about 3-4 years, then —thanks to the support of the EU and his own parents (in whose home he was and maybe still is living)— presented himself as anti-Brexit “youth” figurehead.
I should add that the financial support for “Our Future Our Choice” must have been considerable. During the Referendum campaign, it had offices in a Westminster building that also housed departments of the Labour and Conservative parties, and offices of major transnational enterprises and organizations. Someone laid out quite a bit of money for this puppet.
The above says something about more than just one System-approved talking head. It goes to the way in which what is on TV and radio is presented to the general public. Put “Femi” with Nick Ferrari, maybe Rachel Johnson and a few others, and you have the semblance of a “diverse” discussion, whereas in reality it is as controlled as a Punch and Judy show.
ps. Seems that I am not the only person who wants to tell irrelevant little “Femi” to shut up and get lost (preferably out of both the UK and the rest of Europe):
Poor wee Femi. Is he still howling in the wind? I muted him weeks ago to block out the din. So much more peaceful. https://t.co/FADOVIhUuU

Hitchens is quite wrong. Abstention, even organized abstention, does not affect the System, because it will then just be said that “people have a right to vote; if they fail to exercise that right, then they cannot complain”. Already only about two-thirds bother to vote in general elections in the UK; in by-elections, sometimes as few as a fifth vote. In local elections, so few vote that a handful of voters (a few dozen) can change the outcome.
It might be the case that if 90% or more were to boycott general elections, there would be enough pressure to change the electoral system etc, but such an event is unlikely to happen.

I’ve sent you a link to the story about Blair’s confession that he was a Trotskyist at Oxford @markseddon1962 . A story that would have led every bulletin and front page in 1997, was not even picked up 20 years later. Except by me. https://t.co/iru5fWUiIX
…and even Peter Hitchens has never alleged (as others have) that Tony Blair, as a student, was actually arrested, charged and convicted (on a guilty plea) on a charge of gross indecency in a public loo, but (allegedly again) gave a false name, and so escaped any negative career consequences.
I think that those allegations say that Blair came up before the “beak” at Great Marlborough Street Mags (Magistrates) in London, where I appeared a couple of times as Counsel when I was still a “second-six” Bar pupil, i.e. a pretty green recent-trainee barrister. I think that both of my appearances related to theft charges, though.

-no fever since Fri am -no shortness of breath today – had 2nd dip of oxygen yesterday to 93% -walking w/o limitation -2nd dose remdisivir – 1st dose of dexamethasone – hoping for discharge tomorrow if all continues as is
So there it is. Trump is 74, unfit, very overweight, has had “the virus”, yet has only been in hospital a couple of days and is likely to be discharged tomorrow. He personifies the opposition to the “panicdemic”. His wife, Melania, has not even been hospitalized. Yet the fearmongers have had societies and economies across the world shut down because of this virus which, worldwide, has killed only 1 out of every 8,000 people. Madness.
Covid-19 “Coronavirus”
Beware of official statistics, cause-of-death statistics in particular…
There’s a whole bunch of people on Twitter, normally hugely critical of Boris Johnson, the Tories and the government, but 100% behind every government lockdown measure and even the now clearly unlikely Whitty-Vallance 50,000 cases graph. Who can explain this strange phenomenon?
Andew Neil should read my previous blog posts in which I examine the phenomenon. It comes down to political infantilism.
The people who are usually Twitter pseudo-socialists are basically politically naive. They think that mass immigration can be combined with high pay, high State benefits, a decent NHS and a viable national future. They think that they support “freedom” yet want to remove the free speech rights of those whom they deem “Nazi”, “fascist”, “racist” etc etc. They think that the “lockdown” and facemask nonsense is essential, should be stricter, and will have little effect on the economy (or all those high salaries and State benefits they also want…). They love being told what to do, love the restrictions on liberty; they also (quelle surprise) love the EU.
Sadly, I am no longer on Twitter (thanks to the Jew lobby that Andrew Neil usually seems to support). Maybe someone else can tweet my views to him…

Just thinking about how this latest news about Trump and Melania will play politically. Already I have seen opinions to the effect that Trump does not really have “the virus” and that Boris-idiot likewise never had it. Maybe so, but my inclination is to believe that both had/have it.
In respect of Trump, what matters is whether he recovers or not. If not, then (obviously) he will not win the upcoming election because he will be dead. In that event, Mike Pence would have every chance of beating Joe Biden and winning the Presidency for the Republican Party.
The more likely event is that Trump will recover. In the world as a whole, only one person has died so far out of every 8,000. In the USA, there have been (as the BBC and Sky keep telling us, usually without giving the per capita context…) about 200,000 or so deaths; that, though, is out of a population of about 330,000,000. 1 death out of every 1,500 or so of the population. In respect of known (tested) cases, nearly 5 million cases and, of those, 96% (4,737,000 approx) recovered; about 4% died: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Trump is 74, overweight etc, and so in a generally more vulnerable than average category. However, the odds are that he will recover. So how does that play?
In my view, Trump getting “the virus” and then recovering would boost his standing considerably. It would validate what he has always said, and which is after all backed by the statistics: that in the USA, 96% of those who actually have had “Coronavirus” have recovered. Thus, while this virus is certainly a major public health threat, it is not the plague, not the Black Death, and society must not be shut down because of its existence.
Boris Johnson please note…
The US election is close, and not so easy to predict. The Electoral College electoral system is very odd, a very 18th Century idea of democracy. Each state has a number of Electoral College votes, based on the amount of population. Whichever candidate wins the most votes in each state gets all the Electoral College votes for that state (with two exceptions, Maine and Nebraska): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
Thus (as with the British electoral system based on MPs elected from constituencies), it is quite possible for a Presidential candidate to get a minority of the popular vote yet win the Presidency because that candidate has won a majority of the Electoral College votes. That is in fact what happened in 2016: Trump won a minority of the popular vote, but a majority of the Electoral College vote.
The bookmakers (in the UK) are making Joe Biden a close favourite over Trump, but it is still close enough to be uncertain. The demographics (increasing non-white populations in the US) favour the Democrats, but the majority is still small, though growing.
Superficially, Biden seems to have the election half-won, but I am not sure that Trump can be written off (assuming that he does not succumb to “the virus”). Trump’s handling of the virus situation is a major card for the Democrats. If Trump himself, at his age and in his condition of health and fitness, can pull through, that must strengthen his case on the virus and how to handle it, and would tend to back his preference for fully re-opening the economy.
There again, many white Americans especially will have been looking at the scenes of near-anarchy and even near civil war in some cities, and wondering whether Trump is not a better bet than Biden and the Democrats. After the recent “debate” shouting match, when (from what I have heard) Biden seemed almost ga-ga, this election may be very close indeed.
[Update, 29 August 2023: my view now on “Boris” and Trump getting the Covid virus is that they probably did, but that it was blown up out of proportion in order to increase the reach of the fear propaganda, and that neither was ever in real danger].

I happened to see this video, made in July 2020:
This one too:
I myself would never waste time “debating” with such [redacted because of the lack of freedom of expression in the UK]. In fact, I would not bother to “debate” with most white British people either. I am here to put forward my own views, ideas and policies, uncompromisingly. “Debates” tend to produce heat but no light, as on the pathetic BBC Question Time. A show for the entertainment of people with little better to do.
I know that I am not alone in noticing that TV ads in the UK are now even more than heretobefore the vehicle for racemixing propaganda. Almost every ad now is replete with blacks and other non-whites, as well as the TV “families” with the white (often blonde) woman, the black man, and the mixed-race children.
Who do you think is behind all this? You know who…(((the you-know-who))).
All part of “the Plan” (the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan)…
Those people who say “I have lost a son/daughter/father/mother/grandparent/significant other to Coronavirus, so please do XYZ, and do not be COVID-19 deniers” are like people who say “I have lost [whoever] because of a traffic accident, so please never drive a car except at below 10 mph, and do not be traffic accident deniers“. Except that no-one sane ever says the latter, because such a suggestion would be seen as wildly disproportionate, as well as importing emotional blackmail into what should be a reasoned argument.
Pleasant sentiments, but I noticed that that tweet was retweeted by Jew-Zionist fanatic and Twitter troll “@frankiescar” (real name Andrew Roberjot, apparently a failed businessman of some kind and now a “legal people” groupie, though not legally-qualified, I believe), someone so unpleasant that he actually turned up to gloat when I appeared at the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal (I was disbarred thanks to a pack of Jews, most of whom were known to him): https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/
That is, so to speak, “very Twitter”, people who tweet or retweet all sorts of beautiful sentiments, while behaving like shits. Virtue-signallers. Fakes.
A pseudonymous but obviously Jew-Zionist Twitter account, tied in with the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” criminals, and making dark, if obscure, threats. In fact, I seem to recall “@badscooter” making the very same or very similar threats as long ago as 2012 or thereabouts. This is the kind of tweeter that the Metropolitan Police should investigate. If not, perhaps someone with money can discover his identity via civil litigation (e.g. via methods such as a Norwich Pharmacal order: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Pharmacal_order).

An interesting talk by Nick Griffin. Not sure whether all his remarks about American cities are completely accurate. True, the American cities are becoming less habitable, but this is (as Griffin admittedly concedes) not a new phenomenon.
In the late 1960s, those cities burned, and the white people fled to the suburbs. I used to get coffee beans, in the early 1990s, from a coffee grind shop in Newark, New Jersey, a kind of island left standing after the riots of, I believe, 1968.
New York City was in a terrible state when I was first there, in 1989. After I left in 1993, administration changed, was tightened, and crime was reduced by more severe measures. Cities can come back. Look at Beirut (which is now in trouble again, but not to the same extent that it was during the 1970s civil war). Berlin was largely rubble in 1945. There are many other examples.
I am usually cautious in commenting on American politics, but I agree with Griffin that the demographics favour a Democrat victory in November. Having said that, I wonder…I would not necessarily write off Trump.
I agreed with some of Griffin’s more general comments.
I was interested to hear from Griffin (in the video) that he says that it was not the notorious Question Time broadcast that collapsed BNP support among the voters but the promotion of Nigel Farage and UKIP as “controlled opposition”. I agree with that, though I do not know whether Griffin is correct in saying that BNP support before the broadcast was 6%, and that it was 22% afterward. Is that true?
The above claim is not consonant with the BNP result in the 2010 General Election (1.9%), though that was a large increase on its 2005 result (0.7%). UKIP’s results were 2.2% in 2005 and 3.1% in 2010, though the BNP beat UKIP in most seats where both parties stood candidates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results
[Later addendum and clarification: In 2010, the BNP only contested 338 seats. There are 533 seats in England, and another 40 in Wales, so 573 in all (leaving aside the remaining seats, i.e. those in Scotland and Northern Ireland). The BNP therefore achieved an overall vote, in the seats actually contested, closer to 3.5%, and better in real terms than UKIP, which contested 558 seats]

"Did not vote" beat both Trump and Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election: Did Not Vote 44.37% Clinton 28.43% Trump’s 27.20% Given the choice on offer this time, expect another victory for "Did not vote" https://t.co/wAyrgflHcC
The same is true in the other most longstanding “democratic” nation of the Anglosphere (if it is a nation now), the UK.
In the UK 2019 General Election, only two-thirds (67.3%) of those registered to vote actually voted. About 47.5 million were registered to vote, but only 32 million voted. 15 million or so people who might have voted, did not. That beat both the Conservative Party vote (just under 14 million), as well as the Labour Party vote (just over 10 million): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results
Labour particularly was a victim of apathy. In 2019, almost as many former (2017) Labour voters simply failed to vote as voted for other parties.
The vast swathes of white English and Welsh voters who did not vote Labour did not do so, largely, because of the way in which Corbyn was surrounded both by black MPs (especially by black women) and by those who think that Castroite Cuba, Venezuela etc are success stories.
Many of those voters might have been willing to vote Labour even if the individual candidate was black or brown, but not when the national leadership seemed to be mostly like that. The sub-Marxist or post-Marxist advisers were probably also a factor.
Now, the voters are in a similar position. Neither main “leader” is credible. Boris-idiot is plainly (people now understand) incapable of being a Prime Minister, yet Keir Starmer (a tool of the Jewish lobby, with a Jewish wife and children brought up as Jewish) is unappealing; there again, Starmer is not really opposing Government policy, but supporting most of it!
Why has Labour got to within a few points of the Conservatives in the opinion polls if Starmer and his Israel First clique are not appealing to the voters? Simple: just look at Boris-idiot and his Cabinet! Labour is doing sort-of OK by default.

@andalg1I am all in favour of *sensible precautions* . But not in favour of wild, disproportionate destructive and largely useless hysteria. Burning your house down will get rid of a wasps’ nest, but you’d have to be off your chump to think it was a good way of doing so. https://t.co/vEstJt9XIO
The zealots who love facemasks, “social distancing”, “lockdowns” etc are the same sort as those who say, whenever something irritating and unnecessary is proposed, “well, if it saves only one life...”, which they sometimes rev up by amending it to “well, if it saves only one child’s life…“. By that measure, of course, cars, for example, should be banned entirely, and thousands of lives saved annually in the UK alone (2,000 in the UK each year, but about 1.35 MILLION worldwide). Why are cars not banned? Because to ban them would be disproportionate.
“Lockdowns” are both disproportionate and crazy. Facemasks are unneccessary and a symbol of tyranny. Wake up, people. This is not the Plague.

As most will have noticed Israel plays a central part in the life of #GhislaineMaxwell and #JefferyEpstein but this is never every mentioned in the mainstream media, anyone else sick of this?
BBC Radio 4 News report on a budget/holiday airline flight where —horrors!— passengers were not wearing facemasks. It was claimed that one couple have already (since yesterday? Perhaps I misheard) both “developed Covid-like symptoms“. Well, I don’t believe the woman talking about having been infected; maybe she and her husband are planning a nice little compensation claim against the airline.
Even leaving all that aside, “mild Covid-like symptoms?” So what do they want? A medal? What does it matter if a few people develop mild symptoms? Yet here we are, with the BBC going mad because one couple out of hundreds of passengers on a plane are showing mild symptoms of “the virus” (which may or may not be “the virus” and could have been picked up anywhere). This has become hysteria on the grand scale.

I have been to Ilford (East London) a few times. The first was when I was a Bar pupil (trainee) nearly 30 years ago and we had a case at Snaresbrook Crown Court where some Arab gypsies had targeted the BHS store in Ilford (now shut down with all the rest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Home_Stores). The barrister whom I accompanied wanted to see the locus for some reason, so we drove there.
Sometime around 2006-2007 I returned to Ilford, where there was a small County Court which was, a few years later, one of the hundreds of County and Magistrates’ courts closed by reason of the spending cuts of the 2010-2015 David Cameron-Levita government: https://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/politics/ilford-county-court-to-close-1-753547;
[Ilford County Court, permanently closed 2011-2012]
On my third visit to Ilford (on the same matter as I visited the second time), again I appeared at the small, dark and moribund-looking County Court (one good thing was that, being situate in a side street out of the central area of Ilford, one could park almost opposite the Court, by a small park or cemetery).
I had stayed overnight at a strange “hotel” of sorts, which was actually in a multistorey car park in the central area, and was on the top floor of the same. I may have been lucky, in that a fellow-member of my chambers, a medico-legal expert called Dr. Thomas (an ex-NHS consultant), parked there a few weeks later, also because he was due to appear at Ilford County Court; his car was broken into, his wig, gown and legal books etc all stolen.
I had the opportunity, if such is the bon mot, to explore the area of central Ilford around the hotel, as I searched for a takeaway (I think that I found a Chinese in the end). My impressions of Ilford (and this was about 14 years ago): something like a cross between a downbeat part of New York City, and maybe Calcutta (though I have never been to the latter).
Seems that Ilford is almost a microcosmic example of the rest of urban Britain: migration invasion, scarcely a white face, litter everywhere, and not so long after I was there, closure of shops and even the local County Court.
More Coronavirus madness
One of the “victims” mentioned in the report at top of this blog post was on Sky News, saying how terrible it was that no-one was wearing a facemask or “social distancing” on the plane! How do you “social distance” on a crowded plane? I think that the woman was a totally brainwashed facemask zealot. She and her husband had themselves decided to “self-isolate” even before being “ordered” to do so! So yes, 16 people out of nearly 200 on that plane have “tested positive”. So what? None are or are likely to show any, or any serious, symptoms.
There is a massive scam/fraud being tried on by the System, via the Government and msm. Fear propaganda.

I’ll leave you with this; the extension to the Coronavirus act granting ongoing dictatorial power is up for review in September. Watch how the government ramps up the fear for excuse to push this through, to keep themselves unaccountable to parliament.
As the UK becomes ever-more obviously a “control state”, with an “elected” dictatorship of a government and a compliant or similar “Opposition”, anything is justifiable if it stands up for the reasonable freedom and decent future of the British people.
Hopefully, a GoFundMe appeal will be launched to pay his fine. The bigger question is how to destroy the cabals that are behind the conspiracy to make the population compliant and intimidated.
Yes @miffythegamer sweetie, I tweeted about this piece of Soviet-style pseudo-psychiatry hours ago. It's actually another sign of our slow but definite transformation into a new marshmallow totalitarianism, where dissent is a pathology. https://t.co/WQ9CSNYhOk
Hitchens is right. Look at the proclamations from government, the documents from the “advisers” and sinister backroom types that have leaked, from Common Purpose drones such as Cressida Dick (who actually suggested that non-masked persons should be “shamed”, meaning bullied, in public. What about, inter alia, “exempt” persons? Do they have to explain themselves to aggressive mask zealots and busybodies, begging their permission or leave?).
Look at that “study” from Brazil. Even on its face, it is plainly nonsense. Its methods and bases are obviously biased. A priori flaws etc.
The “study” also seems to conflate mask-wearing, washing hands, and “social distancing”.
I have blogged for months in favour of washing hands frequently, which is almost certainly the only really important way of protecting oneself and those in one’s own social circle.
“Social distancing”, if done reasonably (eg not attending crowded nightclubs, pubs etc) is also sensible. It is for individuals to protect themselves that way, mostly by avoiding crowded and hot places. The whole “keeping 6 feet away from everyone” is not necessary; peripheral.
As for facemasks, they are useless and may be counter-productive. For the State to mandate the wearing of muzzles is quite wrong; dictatorial.
I have already seen many tweets saying (inaccurately, and presumably based on the fact that the “study” has been published in some obscure psychology magazine) that the “study” has been “peer-reviewed” and so (it is implied) credible. The problem with that is that when a “study” is created by people with a certain view, and then “reviewed” favourably —and so published— by people with similar views, objectivity goes out of the window, and the “study” is not worth the paper on which it was written.
To use the reductio ad absurdam, a “study” created by idiots and “peer-reviewed” by idiots is in reality not credible.
We are getting perilously close to equating dissidence with insanity, as in the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s, as exemplified by the notorious Serbsky Institute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbsky_Center
Brenton Tarrant
I would not wish to kick someone who is well and truly down, but it is worth considering what Tarrant might have done had he not carried out his notorious massacre. He might, for example, have engaged in political educative work, trying to awaken New Zealand to the menace of mass immigration.
More interestingly, Tarrant might also, for example, have planned and carried out the establishment of a mini-ethnostate in New Zealand, perhaps in the South Island, which has only about a million inhabitants (compared to 4 million on the North Island). The South Island has only one medium-size city (Christchurch; 377,000 inhabitants) and only one other of any size (Dunedin; 105,000). About half of the population live in those two cities.
New Zealand has about 5 million inhabitants in an area about 20% larger than the whole of the UK, which has (disastrously) nearly 70 million people now.
The South Island of New Zealand, much larger than the North, is 58,000 square miles (England alone is 50,000) and, as noted, has a million inhabitants, compared to about 56 million in England alone. The population density is only about a 60th of that of England.
Indeed, the third-largest island of New Zealand, Stewart Island, has only about 400 people in 650 sq. miles, i.e. an area of about 20×30 miles.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Island. It would be easy to simply take over such an island by moving a few hundred supporters there. Tarrant was maybe too much of a “lone wolf” to think like that.
Tarrant’s massacre has resulted in sympathy for the Muslim immigrants to New Zealand. At least, that is the official line.
As far as that tweet is concerned, I agree with Batten 100%. Hitchens is too ready to say “it’s all incompetence by the government and its advisers”. Yes, true enough but too limited. What about those behind the Government, embedded in the Deep State and msm?

Valete (for today)
Tomorrow, I shall be 64. Let us hope that the year ahead will be productive.
Yes! The tide is turning. Forget Trump. Forget all fake “conservative” “nationalists”. In the UK too.
In 1920s and early 1930s Germany, the NSDAP was an answer to Weimar degeneracy, and at the same time a parrying of or “Abwehr” to the alien Communist forces waiting to take over the country..
In our own time, the same kind of degeneracy as was manifested in the Weimar period in Germany is all around us in the UK, but there is no Marxist-Leninist movement waiting to take over, just a heaving mass of post-socialist “slacktivists”, Twitter users, “me-too” idiots, “Black Lives Matter” swine and the like.
We can do this.
A few tweets seen about the American situation
First up, someone, below, who not only calls National Socialists “fascists” (which is, historically, only semi-accurate at best) but also attaches, as a purported photo of Kristallnacht in 1938, a photograph (either genuine or from a film drama) of Soviet troops advancing through the streets of Berlin in 1945:
I’m as libertarian as they come, but even I’m starting to have emotionally fascist tendencies as a result of these types of incidents. My logical brain is opposed to any sort of police-state authoritarianism, but part of my emotional brain is fine with it, unfortunately.
The American political system is even more sclerotic than that of the UK. A binary choice between two sets of unworthy people.
If I had to guess who will win in November, I should probably say Trump, though the racial and economic demographics favour the Democrats overall. America is divided, more than at any time since the 1960s, and maybe even more so today.
I never use or accept the “Right/Left” concept as anything real. The same goes for “far Right” etc. “Social-national” is not a perfect description, but seems to be the nearest easily-understood designation to my viewpoint.

Seriously, the #covid hysteria is child abuse. Thousands protested against #lockdown in Ireland at the weekend. WTF is wrong with the Brits? pic.twitter.com/mxQRFqNxSx
“What is wrong with the Brits?” The crushing of the British spirit has been a long affair. You could trace it back to the Second World War, which not only cost the country its Empire and its global imperial status, but impoverished the State and people for decades. People (older ones) know that rationing lasted, in part, until 1955 (!) but those older ones and the younger ones rarely ask why! War is expensive.
That superb writer Jan Morris [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Morris] noted in essays of the 1970s how Britain had (to use a phrase Jan Morris would probably hate) “lost its mojo”, the people dispirited.
Then there were the years of post-Thatcher stagnation. I recall returning from the USA (several times) in the early 1990s, noticing the creaking infrastructure (decaying concrete halts in the rain along the South Coast rail line), and the houses in some areas still, many of them, with smoking chimneys.
1997-2010, Blair’s —and Brown’s— Britain, with its nanny-state-ism, its badly-drafted laws, its petty repressions, its political correctness. That was followed by the “austerity” (for the poorer part of the population) rule of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne. Then brittle and incompetent May, followed now by a government of clowns that makes even May’s misrule look good.
The stuffing has been knocked out of the British. The near-worship of the blacks and browns on TV (especially) has made the white people of this country (“the people formerly known as British”) almost forget that they (their near-ancestors) created much of the civilized world that exists.
At the same time, economic pressures (and feminist propaganda) have meant that almost all women have to take on paid work. Their children are not only partly-neglected but subjected to huge pressure to cram for endless school tests, the results of which are exam passes that are almost meaningless and lead nowhere but (for about 45%) a “university” where equally meaningless degrees are handed out (at Oxford and Cambridge, “Firsts” and “Upper Seconds” for about 95% of the candidates).
Then you have the assault on freedom of expression. The Jew-Zionists are behind this. People prosecuted for singing songs and posting them online, people prosecuted for making films of their dogs “saluting Hitler”, people prosecuted for calling a Jew a Jew (etc).
Now there is the whole toytown police state around the “Coronavirus” panic: “lockdown”, the facemask nonsense, the inconsistency of the (invalid but still being enforced) “laws” and “rules” (e.g. facemasks to be worn on trains, despite statistics indicating that someone would have to take 11,000 journeys before being infected, let alone dying from “the virus”; e.g. facemasks to be worn in all shops, but not in pubs! Or offices!).
No wonder the British public is downtrodden! Told by a pack of black , brown, and Jew invaders and pseudo-academics that their history is all bad, or stupid, or meaningless, and that any expression of national pride is evil and “racist” (which, according to the same enemies, is ipso facto evil…); told that they should be grateful that the blacks have fastened onto the UK; told that any blacks and browns who manage to pilot a rubber boat across the Channel can and should be put up in 4-star hotels, given spending money and food while they await their taxpayer-paid free houses or flats.
Migration invasion. Not to mention the birthrate of those already here: pop! pop! pop!…
Now the enemy is even banning “Land of Hope and Glory” and “Rule Britannia“!

Britain needs to rise up again. It needs to undertake a cultural purge (a “purge of the purgers” if you like).
Only Europe can evolve to the point at which a “quantum leap” to a higher race-form and consciousness-form can take place. Europe can only do that on the basis of the existing white northern European population. Anything, therefore, which seeks to destroy the European nature of Europe must be exterminated.
Another example of the campaign to destroy Britain
Kevin Maguire, the fake “socialist” System mouthpiece (completely in the pocket of the Jewish-Zionist lobby, like all or virtually all msm scribblers in the UK):
Which absurd old dirge would you most like retired?
Admittedly, God Save the Queenis a bit of a dirge, but Maguire is not against it because of its aesthetics, but because it is British, and traditional, and imperial.
Maguire is the sort of pseudo-socialist fake that I hate. A more “Blairite” equivalent of Owen Jones. Another one who lives in an affluent part of London while trumpeting his cash-strapped Northern roots (albeit far more convincingly than Owen Jones). Maguire is a typical “Labour” tribalist, who was always supportive of the fake “Labour” regime(s) of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown despite the blatantly obvious finance-capitalist nature of those governments.
Labour really is just a label now, but that suits empty-vessel tribalists like Maguire.

My visit to a garden centre
Went to a garden centre (unwillingly) this afternoon. There are several within a few miles of my now very humble home.
I was surprised on such a windy day to find many people, most far older than me (and I am 64 next week) in the place or parked outside. Even more surprising is that many were actually wearing facemask muzzles in the strong gale force winds (which were blowing well over 40 mph— I saw a tree down on the way to my next port of call).
I avoided wearing a mask in the centre, though kept one to hand in case Plod were about. I saw a couple of others standing up for freedom, but most of the elderly rabbits were complying. The brainwashing has been fairly effective, sadly.
Official govt papers leaked to The Sun show that a No Deal Brexit this winter will lead to shortages of food, water, fuel, electricity, and essential medicines. It would see the army on our streets to control civil unrest. It's time they got a deal, or an extension.
Our time is coming but can only arrive if there exists a real social-national movement. The next few years are crucial. The chance is there, not only to seize power in the UK, but to re-create Europe in our image.

BBC R4 news at 7.00 speaks of ‘growing pressure’ for schoolchildren to wear masks. Really? From whom? The BBC ceaselessly reports the mask issue in this way.
The WHO admitted to BBC's @deb_cohen that its switch from anti-mask to pro-mask position was political, not scientific. This study https://t.co/pvgV50yi93 which does not favour muzzles, suddenly disappeared from its place in the internet . These are facts. Get to grips with them.
Good heavens. What a surprise. BBC too busy propagandising for universal 24-hour muzzle wearing (Next: 'Wear your muzzle to bed to protect others!') to spot this major Covid story: : https://t.co/VciPETTfDi
It is reported that, yesterday, 3 people died, in the whole of the UK, from or at least with Coronavirus. Three people. Out of nearly 70 million in the country. Out of several thousand being tested every day now as having Coronavirus.
It follows that there now is no substantial public health threat in the UK from Coronavirus; what does exist is panic and unwarranted fear, being stoked up deliberately by the UK government and its advisers.
The facemask nonsense has nothing to do with public health. It is as divorced from reality as the Dutch Tulip Craze of the 17th Century.
The same is true of the quarantine nonsense, which has already led to a rash of stories about how ingenious Brits have made it back to our sceptred shores with minutes to spare before they would have had to “self-isolate” (quaere: does the government really believe that people are going to “self-isolate”? It’s another “fantasy law” from Boris-idiot).
As to those just beating the quarantine deadline, we have had, in the msm today, bicycling families just breasting the tape with minutes to spare, and an octet which, having performed in a monastery in Normandy, hired a French fishing boat to get back to Newhaven in time. Stylish. In all, a Dunkirk-lite reprise. As Marx said, “first time tragedy, second time farce”…(and cf. Churchill/Boris-idiot…).
A quarantine (even an ineffective “self-isolation” one) might have had some logic behind it in March or April, but not now. Like the facemask nonsense, it is completely pointless.
Another point worth noting is that the countries now seeing upsurges in “the virus” are the very ones stupid enough to have imposed severe “lockdowns”: Spain, Italy, France. Hello? Is anyone listening?
Of course, it's perfectly acceptable for the police to invite you down to the station to talk about your YouTube and Facebook accounts. They want to ensure you're thinking correctly. https://t.co/xjl1idByHY
This is what Britain now is, a place where people can be questioned by the police, not for anything truly criminal, but for posting about matters online, even posts which the police themselves accept, and in advance of interview, are not criminal! This is what the police now are— socio-politicized, biased, and riddled with Common Purpose drones at a high level.
Note that that letter was from the Nottinghamshire Police, a force which has one of the least-impressive records in dealing with real crime; the same is true of Derbyshire Police, who have been snooping on and persecuting the satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz for years.
Snowden was obviously not an agent of Russian Intelligence at the start, meaning at the time of his flight from Hawaii. The Russians would have extracted him much more efficiently if he had been an agent. Instead, he went to Hong Kong and messed around there for days, risking capture and/or extradition.
Still, interesting that Trump is considering the possibility of a pardon. Unless, of course, the news is just bait, to interest Snowden in returning to the USA.

As I have written previously on this blog, I repost quite a few Peter Hitchens tweets, not because I am a “supporter” or “fan” of Hitchens, but because he is quite often correct. That especially applies to his views about the “virus” panic and the absurd (and either mistaken or malicious) governmental over-reaction to it.
What is that supposed to mean? Marijuana possession, a deliberate act, has been a crime for decades, made so by a free Parliament. Now an arbitrary decree imposes fines for what has been normal behaviour since the beginning of time.. https://t.co/h0hl6fyADB
Of course, Hitchens is right to say that discontent should grow and be expressed now that the State is seriously restricting freedoms such as movement, association, personal clothing, as well as free speech; and the fact is that Parliament now scarcely exists except as a rubber stamp. However, if I were to state my hopes for what might happen, I should no doubt have evil and malicious snoopers reporting me to the “authorities” in what has become a toytown police state. So I stay silent, or at least superficially silent.
Free speech on historical topics again under attack by Jews
We see repeatedly that, in the UK, voters vote only for parties, not for individuals. One example was the ignominious defeat of Simon Danczuk in Rochdale in 2017. His first election, in 2010, resulted in a vote-share of about 36%. His second election, in 2015, gave him a vote-share of about 46%. Both times under Labour label. After Danczuk had been deselected by Labour, he tried to get elected as Independent in 2017. Result? 1.8% (883 votes). Fifth place (out of six). The new Labour candidate won, with 58% of the vote.
Another example. Anne Milton was Conservative Party MP for Guildford from 2005. She also won the elections of 2010, 2015 and 2017, at the last of which her vote-share was nearly 55%.
An important distinction from the Danczuk case was there had been no scandal attaching to Anne Milton; she was deselected (the whip taken away by Boris Johnson) purely because of her opposition to “no-deal Brexit” and she was given the chance to stand again as a Conservative Party candidate at Guildford if she dropped her opposition. She refused and stood as Independent.
Anne Milton’s principled stance availed her naught; neither did her 14 years as MP for Guildford, nor her uninvolvement in any expenses scandal (or any other scandal). She got only 7.4% (over 4,000 votes, a 4th place out of 5) at the 2019 General Election. The new Conservative Party candidate won, with about 45%.
While Anne Milton’s defeat in 2019 was more honourable than that of Danczuk, the result, in bottom-line terms, was similar, a bad defeat. Her only consolation: she retained her deposit.
The “main parties” (and that really means just Labour and Conservative) still have a complete stranglehold because the sleepy voters are still voting mainly for a label.
How ignorant are you of politics @argybargy1950, on a scale of one to 10? MPs are selected by closed committees of the major parties (which would never pick me), and then obediently confirmed by voters in safe seats. No truly independent candidate is ever elected. https://t.co/Hf35nUScg7
This is a very good example of the pathology, not of “the virus” itself, but of the fear of it. A teacher in a State secondary school resigns because he fears that he might contract “the virus” by being in the same building or room as children or young persons. Well, it is possible, of course, though unlikely; any such school students infected would probably themselves not show any symptoms and be in no danger.
As for the teacher, yes, he might pick it up from those pupils, though it is probably a thousand to one chance. If the teacher were unlucky and were infected, his chance of needing any medical intervention would be small, hundreds to one. His chance of being seriously affected would be tiny. His chance of dying from “the virus” would be even smaller. His age is not mentioned, but probably under 60, probably under 50. His fear is misplaced.
Thus we see the way in which the fear whipped up by the government of clowns and its ludicrous “SAGE” advisers has led many rather unthinking people to make panicked decisions.
In any case, the alternative is simply to have no schools open until an effective vaccine is found and deployed, which might be months, years, or never. I have little respect for the UK educational system as it is, but the result of, in effect, having no education at all given to the young, would be worse (probably).
Straw man @imdsm . Do you perhaps accept there is something new and important about a government compelling people to wear a garment, not to preserve modesty but to indicate compliance with a contentious policy, and spread exaggerated fear? https://t.co/cIxzi4cxEP

Tom Watson and Keir Starmer
Well, wouldn’t you know it? Tom Watson (Jewish lobby mouthpiece), is going to get a peerage after all, proposed by Keir Starmer (Jewish lobby mouthpiece). How utterly disgusting.
Personally, I prefer to keep out of this “Labour Party antisemitism” stuff, not because I am afraid of being sued (least of all by the extreme Jewish lobby solicitor of choice, Mark Lewis) but because I am not a Labour supporter or member, and am well-known for being an independent anti-Zionist, overall, and a social nationalist.
I am confident that I can defend myself, should it be necessary, against any charge of defamation by anyone, but I have a copper-bottomed armour anyway, inasmuch as I have no money or real property now, so anyone who sues me will lose out (hugely, I would make sure of that) even if (unlikely) they were to win in court. Checkmate.
Ha ha! I typed, in error, “unkikely” instead of “unlikely“. I suppose that a psychologist could make something of that!
If anyone wants to see what I have written about that self-promoting fake, Mark Lewis, please use the search function on my blog. There are a number of what I think are interesting articles (certainly many thousands of people have seen them). They are quite hard-hitting (though accurate) and date from late 2018 and early 2019 .
Lewis had the chance to sue me in 2018 or 2019 if he thought that I was libelling him. He was well aware of my blog posts. He never did sue, he never threatened to sue. My impecuniosity may have been part of the reason, but I maintain that another reason was because my blog tells the truth. It is not a pack of lies but true right the way through.
Obviously, in a better world, a U.S. President unaware that his major NATO ally (the UK) is a nuclear power, or that Finland is an independent state, could not exist. Sadly, in a world where the least-equipped to be heads of government often are in such positions, this latest raft of Trump revelation is scarcely news.
We often assume, that is to say that many people often assume, that the wealthiest, or most powerful, or famous, individuals are in that position because they somehow merit it, or are more intelligent, skilled, educated than the average Joe. Often not so.
Back in the mid-1980s, I used to have a beer now and then with two brothers at the now-defunct Cafe Munchen (a London pub/cafe at St. Giles’ Circus, with marble tables and floors, and Bavarian beers on tap). One brother worked at Citibank. I asked him what Walter Wriston (then a major world financial figure and with whom that brother had worked) was like. He replied “just an ordinary boring American businessman”. [not a very nice person: “…in 1966, he married lawyer and businesswoman Kathryn Dineen. Together Walter and Kathryn attempted to exploit the financial circumstances of their neighbors in attempts to acquire properties for below market value.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Wriston].
The British Royal Family prove the above contention in trumps (no pun intended). Charles is supposed to be the intellectual of the family, because he can and does read a few books, and takes an interest in a few things that do not involve shooting, fishing, riding, racing (of various kinds) or hunting foxes.
One would have to be kinder than I probably am to describe the royal princes and princelings as anything other than uncultured idiots: Edward, Andrew, Anne, William, Harry. And that’s before I even start on the “Royal Mulatta”!
So now we have Trump, but before we British laugh too loud at him, we should look a little closer home, at the Boris-idiot government. “Boris” may be marginally more glossy than Trump, thanks to Eton and Oxford, but he is just as much of a bad joke as a head of government; and that is before one even looks at the rest of the Cabinet.
The economic tsunami gathering
Seems that Boris-idiot and the Cabinet of fools are starting to understand what a storm is coming, a storm their policies have caused, at least in large measure. They do not, however, have any clue what to do about that storm; they have no idea how to deal with the problem. “Boris” now talks about “tough times ahead” but is trying to make it appear that events, i.e. Coronavirus, have caused the tough times, rather than his own misgovernment, notably the unnecessary shutdown of the economy.
First thick tweet of the day comes from someone calling herself “Gina Antifa”/Saffiya Khan :
Hitchens was looking for attention and got it. The protesters were perfectly peaceful.
Isn’t this our hard fought for and much prized ‘freedom of speech’ at its best, in action ? https://t.co/JIJIxHvh4v

Note first the “cultural appropriation”, as a person of unspecified origin (Pakistani? Mixed?) living in the UK talks about “our hard fought for and much prized freedom of speech“, the freedom of speech generations of British people fought for. Secondly, she cannot distinguish between “free speech” and a mob howling in a hostile manner at a lone person in the street. Also, how is it “peaceful” for a mob to follow one person down a street, howling imprecations against him? The aim is intimidation.
Second thick tweet of the day comes via faux-revolutionary scribbler and money-scrabbler (a part-Jew), Owen Jones:
An absolutely sensational victory for the #RhodesMustFall campaigners.
Cecil Rhodes was a white supremacist mass murderer who deserves his place in history books as a monster, not someone venerated as a public statue at a prestigious Oxford college. https://t.co/aCaDkWgdeO
Cecil Rhodes was a “mass murderer”, says Jones. In fact, Rhodes was not a “mass murderer”. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Rhodes. The hypocrisy is that Jones is himself favourably-disposed to several real mass murderers; not least, Lenin.
The irony is that the native peoples and animals of Africa would have been so much better off today had Rhodes achieved his goal of bringing that continent, or much of it, under British control “from Cairo to the Cape”. Of course, none of the “Black Lives Matter” idiots even think about any of that; for them, the “whites” simply “exploited” the “blacks” until the “blacks” were “liberated” after WW2. A cartoon view of 19th and 20th Century history.
Of course, the Rhodes statue is symbolic for the “protesters”. Their real target is not Rhodes but you and me as white British people.
Thinking about the above, though, it seems to me that not only the “antifa” idiots and the black mobs but also the “pro-statue” defenders have been sidetracked. The major battle is and will be over the society as a whole, not about the statues that adorn the squares and buildings. The artworks are ofsymbolic importance, though.
Vera Lynn
The death, at 103, of Vera Lynn, brings thoughts of WW2, of course, and of the sentimentality common to all sides in that terrible conflict. Vera Lynn herself was famous for several songs, but none more so than The White Cliffs of Dover, released in 1942:
The Germans also had such songs, of which the best known, I suppose, is Lili Marlene, which in fact predated the war (1939), but only became popular (with both English and German soldiers) in 1941 and 1942, after it had been translated into English and then initially broadcast by German radio station Soldatensender Belgrad, the former Radio Belgrade.
I was interested to see, reading about it today on Wikipedia, that Lili Marlene was translated into English by renegade British officer Norman Baillie-Stewart (ne Wright), who was put on trial after the war ended, and was lucky to avoid either being hanged by the British or shot by Soviet forces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lili_Marleen
Baillie-Stewart wrote an interesting memoir just before his death (in 1967, in Dublin), a copy of which I had in my (now-lost) library. Entitled The Officer in the Tower, the title refers to Baillie-Stewart’s pre-war trial on charges of espionage for Germany (he was convicted and served 5 years, being released in 1937). He was the last British subject to be a prisoner in the Tower on serious charges, other than those held there in transit (eg the Kray twins, when National Service abscondees in the 1950s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Baillie-Stewart
Cranes,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuravli , first performed in 1969 and here sung by the great and quite recently-deceased singer Khvovostovsky, was a latter-day nostalgia piece which is still popular today:
Facebook and Trump
I am scarcely pro-Trump, but things have become quite out of hand when a private-enterprise quasi-monopoly can simply censor the U.S. President! In fact, there must be some ways put into place to prevent such censorship happening to anyone, not just heads of state.
I have been blogging, tweeting (before the Jews had me expelled from there), and speaking (at the London Forum in 2017) about this issue, i.e. the privatization of public space, for several years.
The major spheres of society (1.economic, 2.political and rights, 3.spiritual inc. education, religion etc) have to work in concord, without (as in this case) the economic sphere controlling or attempting to control one or both of the others (in this case, attempting to exercise control over both the political area and that of rights (freedom of expression): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding

What happened in George Sq tonight was largely without precedent. There are refugee/asylum seeker solidarity demos in Glasgow all the time. They have never, until tonight, been opposed – let alone by hundreds of young men who were desperate for a fight.
Needless to say, the white demonstrators (formerly known as “Scottish”) in Glasgow have been “condemned” by stupid Sturgeon and by one Humza Yousaf (incredibly, he seems to be Justice Secretary of the devolved Scottish administration). In fact, I have just looked up, on Wikipedia, that one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humza_Yousaf
Offspring of immigrants, who was educated privately, in part, and who has never had a non-political job, or any profession. Good luck, Scotland, especially if you ever have (supposed) “Independence”, with government ministers of that sort. Couldn’t the SNP find a real Scotsman to be Justice Secretary? The SNP is little more than a fake; controlled opposition.
Oh, and here we have Sky News instigating more hatred of white English and Scottish people:
The slave trade was vital to the economy of the British Empire for decades. So why do we know so little about it?

That’s right…give the blacks more “reason” to blame white English people for why most blacks don’t have country estates, swimming pools, stables and wealth, not to mention white women and fast cars.
It seems to me very irresponsible for Sky News to fan the flames in that way; there again, this is no accident…it is part of the propaganda around the Great Replacement, aka White Genocide.
By the way, have my readers noticed that there is now a TV advertizing campaign for police recruitment? Guess what kind of people the police want to hire? That’s right…there are more black than white faces in that ad. The Great Replacement in action…

Photographs of Soviet troops at Auschwitz in 1945 are fake
“Photographs of Soviet troops at Auschwitz in 1945 are fake”, according to “holocaust” “survivor” Eva Schloss, step-sister of Anne Frank, whose mainly-fake diary (penned mainly by the girl’s father after 1945) spawned films and a whole mini-industry of book scribbling in the USA, Israel, France, UK etc.
I myself did not see the TV interview with Eva Schloss, but I notice that while the Daily Mail report mentions “gas chambers” as background, the woman herself does not claim to have actually seen one, even though she was at Auschwitz for eight months!
In fact, I heard an American Jew grating on BBC Radio 4 Today this morning. He has been heavily involved in what he called “maintenance” of the Auschwitz site, which sounds like it was a rebuilding. He said “by the end, we had ‘restored’ it to what it looked like in 1945.” Is that so?
In January 1945, almost everything at Auschwitz was demolished by explosives and/or razed to the ground by fire. What visitors now see (in what is a whole tourist industry now) is a supposed “reconstruction”.
A few years ago, some (I think Swedish) tourists stole the famous “Arbeit Macht Frei” sign. It was recovered a few days later, but before that, in fact within a few hours of the theft, a facsimile had been installed. The facsimile was exactly like the “original”. How there came to be such a copy lying around ready for deployment was never explained.
I was in Poland a few times in the late 1980s, some of which time was spent, on two of those visits, in the fairly small Polish city of Bielsko-Biala, about 15-20 miles from the Auschwitz site.
I recall sitting having a beer at a deserted tourist hotel at Bielsko in December 1988 (I was not staying in the hotel…just there for the beer, so to speak). I saw a lone British tourist (from somewhere in Northern England, from the accent) talking to her Polish guide about how her main reason to be there was to visit the Auschwitz site. I myself never went there and I did not hear any Polish people (I was in the country, in several visits, for a total of about 2 months) once mention either “Auschwitz” or its modern Polish name, or anything to do with it.

BBC and ITV lead news with “holocaust” stories (and I do mean “stories”)
The UK msm made sure that the news agenda was headed by the Auschwitz jamboree in Poland. Chinese virus that might be a worldwide epidemic? No. Iran? No. Today, only the “holocaust” propaganda can lead the news (or should that be “fake news”?) agenda.
Jewish Zionist supremacism and exceptionalism
But, as my mother pointed out when I tried to tell her my thoughts after seeing "The Killing Fields" : "they're not Jewish!" https://t.co/6g2Ta5IqKr
I first started to notice this decades ago. Jews often “champion” the rights of non-white races: blacks, browns, whatever. In reality, they think that Jewish suffering is really far more important than non-Jewish suffering, but they have to pretend that they care about (non-white) non-Jews so as not to stigmatize themselves as selfish ethnic supremacists. That’s in Europe, North America etc. They even pretend to care about any hostility Europeans show to the largely Muslim migration-invasion. A smokescreen. In and around Israel itself, of course, they do not feel the need to pretend.
A key aspect of the worldwide Zionist strategy is “holocaust” publicity. It tends to validate the existence of the state of Israel (as “refuge” from the otherwise “antisemitic” world).
Some day, some journalist not totally beguiled by the fantasies of Ian Fleming, John le Carre and Spooks (inter alia) will do a proper job on the general uselessness of MI6/SIS and MI5/Security Service. Until then, only bits and pieces come out. Below, a newspaper report on how a former SIS resident, or station chief, in Moscow, one Christopher Steele, made up “secret” information about Trump for profit…
Easy to laugh at, but withal quite serious. Maybe very serious.
Trump and Iran
The attack at Baghdad Airport will have one of three possible results:
Nothing
Out and out war between Iran and the USA
An oblique response from Iran.
No prize for guessing that I think that the third option is most likely. Outright war is impossible, a regional power without deliverable nuclear weapons against the world’s (still) only functioning superpower. So what would an “oblique response” be? Maybe something that hits the USA economically, maybe something such as the assassination of a head of state or government (keep your head down, Donald!), maybe the same but aimed not at the USA directly but at its allies.
Speculating in an admittedly not very original fashion, one might wonder whether Iran might not at some point launch an all-out missile and other attack on Israel. It might be said that Israel’s nuclear capability would render such an attack suicidal. True, but still, it could happen. A similar attack but on, eg, the United Arab Emirates. More likely. Or on Saudi.
As to Trump himself, I find myself wondering whether he has some physical problem with his brain. I was reading a few of his tweets. They seem abnormal yet not in the slightest intelligent. I suppose that the US President gets brain scans etc as part of the silly annual ritual of the President getting a clear bill of health. I suppose…

It may be that a number of readers of this blog have already heard of someone called Mike Stuchbery, 40, who describes himself on Twitter as “journalist, historian and teacher” (also, now that he has relocated to Germany, “tour guide”).
Stuchbery is of Australian origin, whatever that now means. He was apparently a blogger on educational matters for the Australian broadcaster ABC (akin to the BBC) for a while. He was a teacher in Germany and Australia, then in the UK, but was sacked after a month or so from his last school (even though his contract was only for 3 months anyway) for reasons that are “a little vague”, at least to me. He then moved to Luton, where he rebranded himself as “historian” and “journalist”, despite (as far as I know) having never having had any training, education or work experience in those fields (I am very fair: if anyone has verifiable information to the contrary, let me know and I shall amend this article or add a note).
Stuchbery as “historian”
Now, we are, especially perhaps in the UK, in a society where all sorts of people do a degree in, say, History, maybe even get a “doctorate” (no-one actually ever fails…they just do a year and write a thesis, no matter how narrowly-based, then call themselves “historian” and/or “Doctor”).
Traditionally, in the UK (though not in, say, Germany), “Dr.” was reserved for academics, people in holy orders, scientists doing research etc, or medical doctors (though many medical men and women in fact do not have doctorates— it’s a conventional courtesy title). It was always thought infra dig for anyone else with a doctorate to actually call themselves “doctor” as a title, even though people with a Ph.D. do actually have a doctorate on paper.
Likewise, the term “historian” has been reserved for those either engaged in teaching History, as an academic subject at university level, or writing about it.
Leaving that aside, as far as I know Stuchbery has no formal qualifications in History anyway. I suppose that I could be mistaken, but in any event he is neither teaching at a university (for what that may now be worth) nor writing books. He simply tweets bits and pieces (though I’m not knocking his tweets about German —or other— Dark Ages, mediaeval, or Renaissance history; in fact I enjoy reading them, as I do some of his other non-political tweets).
As far as I am aware, Stuchbery has written no book about historical events.
I myself am very interested in some aspects of history and some periods of history, but I would not call myself “historian”, even though, in one or two areas, my knowledge-level would be equivalent to that of a “professional” historian.
Look at this:
Other opponents of the regime were simply held temporarily at Hotel Silber. Rudolf Schlichter, the influential 1920s artist, painted 'The Prisoner' after his time there.
Rudolf Steiner, the educational theorist & mystic, was also temporarily detained for Gestapo questioning. /7 pic.twitter.com/UEOeaXogHC
“Other opponents of the regime were simply held temporarily at Hotel Silber. Rudolf Schlichter, the influential 1920s artist, painted ‘The Prisoner’ after his time there. Rudolf Steiner, the educational theorist & mystic, was also temporarily detained for Gestapo questioning. /7“
Ah. So according to “historian” Stuchbery, Rudolf Steiner was “temporarily detained for Gestapo questioning”? Stuchbery thus manages to display ignorance of both Rudolf Steiner and the Gestapo. For those unaware of why that is:
Rudolf Steiner was born in 1861 in a Germanophone region of what today is Croatia and died in Switzerland of natural causes in 1925;
The Gestapo was established by Goering in 1933 (initially in Prussia, only being extended to other parts of Germany in and after 1936).
In other words, Rudolf Steiner died eight years before the Gestapo even existed. Rudolf Steiner was in fact not even in Germany after 1923, so the idea that he could be “detained for Gestapo questioning” is made even more absurd.
You begin to see why people question Stuchbery’s qualifications (in any sense— he has no formal qualification or training in history, as far as I know). The above example is not in any way obscure or trivial. These are basic facts for any educated person who purports to know about the period in question.
Readers might note that the other person Stuchbery mentions in those tweets was released by the Gestapo (assuming that he, unlike Steiner, was ever there). One could not imagine that happening under Stalin’s rule which the KPD (German communists) supported. Stuchbery thinks that the KPD were just poor victims of National Socialism. That’s not just politically and historically biased and/or naive; it’s simply inaccurate.
Stuchbery as “journalist”
The Guardian was ready to refer to Stuchbery as “journalist”! Well, I suppose that if idiots like Zoe Williams and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown can pose as journalists, why not!
In fact, while the Huffington Post and a couple of (real) UK national newspapers have apparently printed stuff once or twice by Stuchbery (though not for some years, as far as I know), his “journalistic” scribbling seems confined now to a couple of online outlets such as one called Byline Times.
Stuchbery’s states of mind
Stuchbery has mental problems and is on some kind of medication, like so many “antifa” and also many Jew-Zionist types. I have even blogged, previously, about the connection between contemporary “anti-fascism” and mental illness. Perhaps I should add Stuchbery to that article.
Hey, Lucy, know you're lurking, so let me be absolutely clear:
I will never, ever be ashamed of my previous struggles with mental illness. Ever.
That you think it's fair game for mockery, and that you continue with this, says everything about who you are. pic.twitter.com/HFLtCQPFXc
Some one ask Mike Stuchbery why he got sacked from his teaching job in Victoria!? Why did he run away & hide in Germany & UK!? He's no teacher, no historian, and defo no journo.
Stuchbery’s methods as “antifa” nuisance and “activist”
Stuchbery tends to threaten people obliquely, though he never puts his own head on the block. His modus operandi is threefold:
to incite violence by “antifa” idiots;
to try to get the police or other security agencies involved so that social nationalists and others get harassed and snooped upon;
to denounce those of a broadly nationalist viewpoint to online platforms and fora, with the aim of killing off free speech and also preventing such people from receiving donations online (see below)

Talking of people “peeing themselves”, here’s a photo of Stuchbery when his attempt to incite some kind of home invasion at the home of the wife of the political activist known as “Tommy Robinson” went wrong. It went wrong for Stuchbery because Robinson later turned up at Stuchbery’s own home (both houses were in Luton, UK), at which point Stuchbery had a total meltdown. I do not know whether he actually “peed himself”, but I should not be surprised. Remember, this is the Stuchbery who tweeted about how others should “punch Nazis, keep on punching, never stop…”, and said that German “antifa” thugs should travel overseas to attack social nationalists, because “German antifa really know how to crack skulls” (though he himself could not punch his way out of a wet paper bag).

Stuchbery as begging grifter
I don't have a SoundCloud, but I recently moved countries, and that's hideously expensive, so if you're feeling generous, you can kick me a buck or two on Ko-Fi…
Whether it's my history threads, my work against the Far Right or your uncontrollable burning desire, if you've been thinking about chucking a few coins my way, now would be a really, *really* good time…
I've started a @gofundme to get @PretzelEmpress & I back on track after a bumpy few years. If you like my stuff, consider it an investment – if you don't, feel free to abuse and heckle me! 😘 https://t.co/L3N6Eq1h6z
So Stuchbery is on GoFundMe, Patreon, Crowdfunder, Ko-fi etc?
I do not object to that, as such.
If people want to support Stuchbery while he works (if at all) part-time, while he travels around Germany enjoying himself (he relocated to Stuttgart a month or two ago), then more fool them! What I object to is the hypocrisy and malice of Stuchbery and his crowd of fake “journalists”, “historians”, people who use the title “Dr.” when they are just one-trick-ponies with a Ph.D. from some degree mill. They sneak around the Internet, trying to close down freedom of expression.

Government ad in a Stuttgart U-Bahn: 'We believe in freedom and the freedom of belief.".
How nice to have that explicitly spelled out, as opposed to the racist dogwhistling back in England. pic.twitter.com/HxgR5dlySA
Hypocrite Stuchbery tweets about “freedom of belief” while supporting the “German” laws criminalizing, inter alia, “holocaust” “denial” ( historical revision) etc. He believes in “freedom of belief” so much that, if he sees anyone with whom he disagrees, he tries to get that person bumped off Twitter, Facebook etc, tries to get the person arrested, tries to attack his or her donation pages online, or worse…
Here [see below] is the Germany that Stuchbery and his equally extremist “German” wife love (to see trashed): invaded by millions of non-Europeans and ruled by an authoritarian Zionist Occupation Government [ZOG]!
Stuchbery and others want to run those with whom they disagree off Twitter (which they laughably over-value), other online fora too, and also prevent them from getting funding via donations. Stuchbery wants to prevent the freedom of expression of others.
In other words, Stuchbery is a kind of para-terrorist, one who would not say boo to a goose in real life, but wallows in the violence committed by others of a so-called “anti-fascist”, meaning anti-European race and culture, disposition. Moreover, he has a record of incitement. He talks at times as if he is on good terms with security services in Germany. Maybe those departments should take a good look at him (and his German wife).
Notes
Incredibly, even the Daily Telegraph called Stuchbery an “historian” when alt-Right “Prison Planet” Watson (quite rightly) exploded re. yet another attempt to brainwash young people into believing that Britain has always been “diverse” (full of blacks)…and yes, the Romans may have imported a few Arabs or Nubians as slaves or whatever. That means nothing.
In fact, the same (((propaganda))) and (((brainwashing))), calling Stuchbery “historian”, found its way right across the media (msm), even into such unlikely publications as Teen Vogue! Written by one Robert Newhouse…(((……?……..)))
Perhaps I should add, for those unaware of my views, that I am not a follower or supporter of “Tommy Robinson”, though I agree with a few of his views, notably the invasion of Europe by Muslims and others. For me, Robinson is just an unwitting (perhaps witting) catspaw for the System: pro-Jew, pro-Israel etc, just like Katie Hopkins, “Prison Planet” Watson, Breitbart, UKIP, Brexit Party etc. However, unlike Stuchbery, I do not want to deny Robinson or the others their free speech rights.
Update, 28 October 2019
He’s still trying to destroy freedom of expression online…
The latest news is that some odd woman tied up with both “antifa” nonsense and Jew-Zionists has created a GoFundMe appeal on behalf of Stuchbery, supposedly so that he can sue the political activist known as Tommy Robinson.
I prefer not to comment on the proposed legal claim until I read more about the foundations for such claim. I presume that Stuchbery is doing this (the woman mentioned above may be raising funds for him but only Stuchbery himself can actually sue) because:
he knows or believes that Tommy Robinson has assets sufficient to satisfy any successful claim;
he has seen that others are already suing Tommy Robinson;
he thinks, perhaps, that a civil legal action will damage Tommy Robinson by starving him of funds;
if successful, Stuchbery will make a great deal more money than he gets at present via online begging or his part-time work in Stuttgart, where he now resides.
Were I the defendant, and leaving aside the potential substantive issues that might be in issue in the proposed case, I suppose that I should focus firstly on the fact that Stuchbery is
resident outside the strict jurisdiction (albeit still in the EU);
is a foreign national (as I understand, an Australian citizen);
has no real or other property in England and Wales;
has no means with which to satisfy any judgment on costs or in respect of any counterclaim or setoff that might be claimed by Tommy Robinson, should the Court decide against Stuchbery on one or more issues or otherwise.
I doubt that this claim will get off the ground. I certainly doubt that it will clear the probable first hurdle, as explained above, but we shall see. It appears, however, that plenty of mugs are donating to the said GoFundMe appeal at present.
Update, 25 November 2019
Stuchbery’s solicitors, Eve Solicitors (the firm is a limited company in fact, possibly in effect a one-man operation), are operating out of a rundown Victorian terrace in Bradford; several other small legal and other firms are operating nearby. The operation has only been in operation since 20 May 2019, at earliest:
The “firm” has only been at its present address since 28 September 2019, before which, i.e. from its incorporation in May until September 2019, it operated out of a tiny Victorian terraced house in a “Coronation Street” lookalike, Hudswell Street, Wakefield (Yorkshire).
The principal (and only named) solicitor is one Waseem Ahmed.
Where the name “Eve” came from, God knows. My only guess is “Adam and Eve”, as in the Cockney rhyming slang, “you wouldn’t Adam and Eve it!”
Only joking.
Having said that, when I was a practising barrister in London in the early-mid 1990s, I knew of Pakistani and other ethnic-minority solicitors (in London, in Luton and elsewhere) who used “English”-sounding names for their small firms. Some of them still owe me money! (Unpaid fees). I am sure that Stuchbery’s solicitor is not like that.
I looked earlier at the GoFundMe appeal set up to collect money for Stuchbery’s proposed legal claim against Tommy Robinson. So far, 262 mugs have donated a total (as of time and date of writing) of £5,209 to start the claim. I wonder whether they or others will donate the rest of the £15,000 asked for? Frankly, I doubt it, though the amount so far raised has been raised in only three days.
I doubt that the proposed lawsuit will either launch or get anywhere.
Further thoughts
The woman who is fundraising for Stuchbery, and who seems to have all day to tweet etc, has tweeted that “As many of you know, Mike Stuchbery is about to sue #TommyRobinson for harassment. He is backed by #ResistingHate and a full legal team.“
A “full legal team”? So that would be someone called Waseem Ahmed and…?
I do not say that “Eve Solicitors” (i.e. Mr. Ahmed) is a one-man-band (though it certainly seems to be), and I cannot say that there are no legal people offering advice etc from the sidelines (what used to be known at the Bar as “cocktail party advice”), but I do know, having been at one time a practising barrister who (in the 1990s) regularly appeared (weekly, at least) in the High Court, as well as in County Courts, and more occasionally other types of court and tribunal (both then and in the 2002-2008 period), that GoFundMe £20,000 will only serve to kick off such a case and claim, if I have understood its likely nature properly. Costs rapidly escalate.
Solicitors vary in their fees, barristers likewise. Simply to issue proceedings in a High Court action (which I suppose the proposed case would probably be) would be several hundred pounds as a minimum, and many thousands of pounds in some cases.
As a rule of thumb, a barrister will get anywhere from (as minimum) £500 a day on a small civil matter in the County Court, up to many thousands of pounds per day for almost any High Court matter, though there is no “limit” as such, and some barristers, eg the top commercial silks (QCs) will be on £10,000 a day or more. The spectrum is very wide.
As those who enjoyed Rumpole of the Bailey will know, a barrister usually gets a “brief fee” (to cover all preparation and the first day, if any, in court), then daily “refreshers”. How much are they? How long is a piece of string?
One of my own last few cases was a County Court commercial matter involving a large amount of cattle feed. Now that it is long ago since I last appeared in court (December 2007; this case was not long before that), I think that I can reveal, by way of illustration, that I was paid, that time, £5,000 as a brief fee and £1,000 a day for refreshers (in fact there were no refreshers, because the matter settled on the first day in court).
I have no real idea how much the case of Stuchbery v. Robinson might cost Stuchbery in legal fees if it is ever pursued to court, but my semi-educated guess (“semi” because I have not been involved with the Bar for over a decade) is that whoever presents it in court (unless doing it for free or on the cheap) will probably want a brief fee of perhaps £5,000 (at least) and (at minimum) £500 per day refreshers. Maybe £10,000 and £1,000 per day. It can be seen that, even at the lower estimate, a 2-week hearing (10 days in court, which this well might be) is going to cost £9,500 for Counsel’s fees alone.
Solicitors’ fees also vary widely. When I myself worked (overseas) for law firms (as an employed lawyer), the firms charged for my work at anything up to USD $500 (or about £400) an hour (I myself didn’t get that, sadly, the firms did); and that was over 20 years ago. I suppose that Stuchbery’s solicitors will not be very expensive, but will probably still charge maybe £50 an hour at absolute minimum. Solicitor case preparation might take hundreds of hours. 100 hours @ £50 p.h. = £5,000.
Then there are what solicitors term “disbursements”, i.e. the expenses of the case such as issue fees, witness expenses, whatever.
You can see how £20,000 can be quickly exhausted…
However, even if Stuchbery’s solicitors (solicitor?) can launch the proposed matter and fund a couple of weeks in court (and don’t forget that the solicitor, if in attendance, will also be charging for his time there), there is the matter of what happens if Stuchbery loses. No, that is not left to chance. The lawyers for the proposed defendant, Robinson, will in that event have to have their costs covered too. Even if they only come to the same level as Stuchbery’s (which I doubt), that puts Stuchbery (and possibly others who have funded the claim) £20,000+ in the hole. It could be a great deal more. Maybe even hundreds of thousands.
Stuchbery is an Australian citizen, maybe also a German one now (I do not know). He has no real property in the UK or, as far as I know, even in Germany, where he now lives. He has no, or no substantial, monies in the UK (or anywhere?). He does not have a substantial income or a full-time job.
On the above facts, and if Robinson applies in court for that, Stuchbery is almost certain to have to provide “security for costs”, i.e. [see above] monies “paid into court” (into a court-controlled account) to cover Robinson’s costs should Stuchbery lose his case. Likewise, on the above facts, that would almost certainly have to be the whole of Robinson’s likely outlay in defending the case. Certainly tens of thousands of pounds. Possibly over £100,000.
If Robinson applies for security for costs, if the court agrees with the application, but then Stuchbery cannot come up with whatever sum is demanded (I cannot think that it would be lower than £20,000; probably far far more), then the claim (the case) will be struck out, possibly with costs awarded to Robinson.
Stuchbery will probably have to raise £40,000+ even to start his case.
I think that my readers will understand better now why I think that Stuchbery has no chance of success regardless of the merits of his case (if any).
Presumably, Stuchbery does understand that, in a case like this, witnesses (he himself, Robinson, others) will have to give evidence, be cross-examined on that, all the while with Stuchbery staying in the UK, perhaps for weeks or even a month or more. Expensive.
Update, 26 November 2019
Stuchbery again applauding censorship, and elimination of free speech and accurate reporting (but then, Stuchbery not being a real journalist but a tendentious pro-“antifa” fanatic, what else would one expect of him?):
Meanwhile, the “Sue Tommy Robinson” GoFundMe set up by Stuchbery’s supporter(s) is running into the sand. The fund is still attracting donations at a daytime rate of about £100 an hour (almost nothing overnight); about £1,000 a day. The rate is slowing and I myself doubt that it will reach its £20,000 target (as I write, the total stands at over £6,600), let alone the £40,000+ really required to seriously launch proceedings in a matter of this sort. Still, time will tell.
I have to concede that it is impressive to see so many donations flood in, mostly at £5 or £10 a time. One every 5-10 minutes as I look this evening. A lot of people don’t like Tommy Robinson. I’m not very favourable to him myself! (I oppose Stuchbery and his type more, though).
I doubt that Stuchbery’s mental health will stand up to what could be an extended civil trial, if it ever gets going. I have blogged previously about the odd fact that so many “antifa” types are on medication for mental problems.
Anyway, looks like he’s gone, at least for now.
Update, 27 November 2019
The plot thickens!
Pre-action letter has gone out to 'Tommy Robinson' alerting him of my intention to take legal action against him.
I notice that Stuchbery has already deleted his “everybody hates me; I’m going into the garden to eat worms” tweet of last night. He must have forgotten to take his medication. Lucky that I copied the tweet to this blog…
As to the “Letter before Action”, such letters were at one time often the only correspondence inter partes before proceedings were issued. Since the advent of the new Civil Procedure Rules [“CPR”] about 20 years ago, there is laid down a whole pre-action protocols for various types of case: https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules
I notice that the letter refers only to “harassment” as a head of action (at this stage at least). I notice also that the letter is signed by a solicitor called Mohammed Akhtar. So Eve Solicitors would seem to have at least two lawyers on board.
Speaking personally, this is not an area of law I myself ever dealt with, even after I returned to the practising Bar in 2002 (after 6 years spent away, mostly overseas). It will be noted that the Act itself dates from 1997. The Act covers both criminal and civil proceedings.
However, as a purely civil matter, which this proposed legal action is, it will be heard in the County Court, in all probability, rather than the High Court. The judge can grant an injunction (e.g. restraining the defendant from approaching the claimant or his home, or from doing various acts). The judge is also empowered to award damages.
In this proposed case, the court will not (IMO) order any injunction because the proposed claimant, Stuchbery, lives overseas (and in fact it may be that the proposed defendant, Robinson, has no idea where exactly Stuchbery lives in Germany, meaning his actual address). The Court will not in any event purport to grant an injunction in another jurisdiction. An injunction only affecting England and Wales is possible, but might be considered otiose in a circumstance where Stuchbery is overseas and may never be again in the English jurisdiction.
That leaves damages.
In this case, it may be that Robinson would be able to lay a counterclaim. That will depend on the facts (which I know only in outline, from what I have read).
This case may well require a “window” of several weeks and may be set down for more than 1 week. Perhaps 2 weeks. Perhaps longer (e.g. if there is to be a counterclaim). There may be and probably will be a need to call numerous witnesses.
Despite the Letter before Action, and despite the likelihood that this will be County Court and not High Court, my feeling is that this action will either not proceed, or perhaps may be launched only to founder on the jagged reef of “Security for Costs”. I cannot see that any judge would deny Robinson security for his likely costs, on these facts.
I still think that Stuchbery and his backers are going to have to come up with something nearer to £40,000 to get this matter launched and over the Security for Costs hurdle.
I have decided to publish a separate blog post about Stuchbery’s legal action, to include anything else about his activities that might be of interest. That means that this blog post ends here.
Here we are almost at mid-January 2020, yet so far no sign of either the harassment action threatened against Tommy Robinson by Stuchbery and his cohorts, or even the second fundraising drive for that (disguised as a drive for funds so that Frau Stuchbery can also sue). It will be interesting to see whether either will happen. If not, what happens to the nearly £10,000 already donated to Roanna, “witch of peace”, for Stuchbery’s legal action?
I begin to wonder whether the police and/or Solicitors’ Regulation Authority may not eventually be taking an interest in this crowdfunding activity.
I see on Twitter that “Dr.” Louise Raw, another prolific “antifa” tweeter, seems to think that there will be a defamation action against Tommy Robinson. Not by Stuchbery, I hazard (I suppose that she may be referring to a different potential claimant).
In the meantime, despite claiming on Twitter to have no less than three jobs, Stuchbery, on this Friday morning, seems (what a surprise) not to be working but strolling into town (I presume Stuttgart) to have a leisurely coffee:
Think I've gone a new level of native here. Sun's out, so I've gone into town, despite the stiff breeze, to pick up some Vitamin D and drink coffee.
“Despite the stiff breeze“? Ha ha! Hardly Front Line Stalingrad…
In the meantime, Stuchbery, while drinking his —as it may be— melange or mocha, is still inciting violence online against those who question the “holocaust” farrago:

Update, 19 July 2020
Stuchbery again threatening to bring defamation actions across the world, actions that he would be unable to sustain substantively or financially. He’s not exactly a loony, not totally, but not far off. Mentally and politically “disturbed”.
If they did, it'd be libel and they'd want a bloody great lawyer, and so would the groups associated with them, because I'd clean them out otherwise. https://t.co/aKGkmjqRbA
That must be about the 10th time at least that I have seen Stuchbery threaten to bring legal suit in defamation etc against all sorts of people (a while ago, he was claiming that I myself “defame” him; I never received his summons to a defamation action, and never will…).
Oh, and his “planned action” (planned by him and the “antifa” troll Roanna Carleton-Taylor of Derbyshire) has raised £11,644 via GoFundMe, but the last donation (£5) was nearly 3 months ago, and it is clear that I was right: Stuchbery never will sue Tommy Robinson. I have no idea whether Stuchbery, “Roanna” and the Paki-stani one-man solicitor firm will simply divide up the money that mugs donated. Perhaps we shall find out, one day.
Update, 21 July 2020
Stuchbery again threatening people with libel action, this time over their retweeting of this blog!
and the retweeter has dug deeper with his “me too”-ism, now calling me “vile” and “a fucking awful person” (because I am against the Jew-Zionists and for a real future for Europe and the world).
After actually checking there's no arguing the author is a fucking awful person. Regardless, nobody has addressed the content at all.
How quick these supposed “liberal”/”Left” types are to judge the character of someone (me) that they have not met and about whom they know nothing, really…Still, at least this one still likes my article!
Now the retweeter talks about me having “mental issues”! No, never did have, either. Stuchbery, on the other hand…(read my article). Just as well that I do not launch fantasy libel actions at the drop of a hat…
I will live with the shame. I didn't know of the author's mental issues prior to posting but that doesn't change the content of the post.
Their argument rumbles on, with both sides playing defamation lawyer. Typical Twitter. Comedy gold; and all about whether someone with no public profile outside Twitter (Stuchbery) was libelled by various people unknown or those (speaking of myself) with no public profile at all, except that I have been attacked by Jew-Zionist fanatics in the past years:
Are you saying I support Nazis? This is quite interesting given my history but whatever tickles your pickle. Unlike Cryin' Mike I don't threaten legal action for slander terribly often.
As a matter of fact, Stuchbery (or anyone else) ought to have a look at my several articles about the Jew solicitor, Mark Lewis, whom many (mugs) think a great libel lawyer, before threatening me with a defamation action! I have said far far “worse” (though true) things about Lewis than I ever have about Stuchbery, yet (despite the fact that Lewis and/or his friends are well aware of my address etc) he has never attempted to sue me…
I might add that, though I was not (mainly) a defamation barrister when I was a barrister, I did advise on a few cases, though my main defamation “case” was advised on and brought to court when I was still a belated student, and before I ever was a barrister: Flegon v. Solzhenitsyn. We won.
To his credit, Hayden Hewitt, whoever he is, does stick to his guns in saying that my article about Stuchbery is interesting (look at some of my others…feel free), but sadly feels the need to judge me again (I am, apparently, in his wisdom, to be considered “a shit human being“, presumably for not being “woke”…)
Sorry, it means being a fanboy. You know, supporting people who actually condone violence (not libel, he's tweeted it himself). But I digress, I care not that the author of the article is a shit human being there was some interesting content in there.
Playing Devil’s Advocate, though, Monsieur Hewitt is not correct in saying that any libel in my article would, in fantasy libel land, devolve only upon me. If someone republishes (eg retweets) a libel, the retweeter is jointly and severally liable for the libel with the original publisher of the alleged libel and any other republishers. Hey, I might get to know Monsieur Hewitt after all, when Stuchbery sues us both! We can listen to Stuchbery outline his case, as squadrons of flying pigs pass by…
The one thing extra that is interesting me about this typically unimportant Twitter squall in a teacup is that Mike Stuchbery seems to have a number of people supporting him; the sad thing, for him, is that they all seem to be mentally-deficient, marginalized, and both ignorant and fanatical (often with under a hundred Twitter followers; is that even possible these days?!).
Update, 22 July 2020
So, I climbed my 'mountain' yesterday. The Michaelsberg, near Cleebronn, is a very special spot. First a Celt sacred site, then a Roman temple honouring the moon, then an Alemannic church, it finally ended up a Capuchin monastery. pic.twitter.com/TCQUHVcQpf
Now if only Stuchbery would stick to tweeting about this sort of thing, and drop the “antifa” nonsense…The tweet above is genuinely interesting.
Update, 2 August 2020
I saw this:
I hear there's another hit piece coming out on me, making defamatory claims. To those working on it – be very, very careful about what you have to say, lest it become extremely expensive for you.
Interesting. Incidentally, the “hit piece” is not something of mine, or in any way connected with me. I may link to it though, if and when it is published (and if it is of interest).
Note that Stuchbery again threatens a defamation action. How many would that be? To be fair, he has not actually or directly threatened me with one, though he has tweeted (incorrectly) that I have “defamed” him (I demur, and/or say that he would have no actionable claim against me, quite apart from any ability to collect money from me in the event —which would never happen— that he were successful in any claim against me).
Stuchbery has certainly threatened defamation actions or other legal action against “Tommy Robinson”, unnamed Danish bloggers or tweeters, various others. Nothing has happened in any country so far. It never will. Stuchbery is an online “blowhard”, a man of straw.
Update, 4 August 2020
Saw this tweet, in which Stuchbery commends the mini-police state being imposed on the unfortunate people of his native Melbourne.
Stuchbery again manifesting his inner “Stalinist”. He just loves the idea of inflicting violence on others, or even seeing it happen, or reading about it. I think that his mental problems are far more severe than he admits, and may go back to childhood.
Update, 18 August 2020
Stuchbery is now threatening to sue yet another group of people!
'Unchained Media' are promising to release an article which will clearly be defamatory, judging by this snippet. Any response will come from here, and action will be taken judging on the severity of the claims. pic.twitter.com/gq2xAALISQ
So how many does that make? “Unchained Media” (whoever they are), Tommy Robinson, various Danes, me, various others. In reality, none will be sued.
By the way, what did happen to the money raised by no less than 692 mugs on the basis that Tommy Robinson was going to be sued? It stuck at £11, 644, and no-one has donated for months: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sue-tommy-robinson
Is it just sitting there? Did Stuchbery get any? Did Roanna aka “@antifashwitch/@witchofpeace” get any of it, or does their Paki-stani solicitor have it in some account or other? We do not know…
At least Stuchbery & Co have a good excuse now as to why they cannot sue Tommy Robinson: he has apparently recently relocated to Spain.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery (now resident in Stuttgart) is still loving the idea of people having violence inflicted on them, whether by out of control Australian police, “antifa” idiots in London, or whoever…
Below, Stuchbery defending cold-blooded murder. Stuchbery’s idea of “self-defence” ignores any notion of proportionality: someone who arrives somewhere with a paintball gun and a pepper spray is fair game to be sought out and just gunned down!
Paul, babe, maybe don't turn up to a city with mace and paintball guns if you don't want someone to exercise their right to self-defence? Play fuckwit games, win fuckwit prizes. https://t.co/8b9khfJklM
Still, I suppose that one should not expect rationality from the irrational…
Keep taking the pills…
Update, 2 September 2020
Below, cowardly sadist Stuchbery enjoys the fact that in Australia’s pathetic (and economically-collapsing) new “woke” and multikulti police state, a young pregnant mother is handcuffed and arrested in front of her young children for the “crime” of calling for a demonstration against the “virus” hysteria:
Covid Karen back in Oz learns the hard way that posting about an anti-mask demo on Facebook actually constitutes Incitement. https://t.co/RylQSOSBgp
A reminder below of one time when Stuchbery himself “learned the hard way“, crying his eyes out and quite likely becoming incontinent!
Update, 4 December 2022
Well, here we are, over 3 years from the date of the original blog post and, quelle surprise, Stuchbery, Roanna Carleton-Taylor (now “@oilpaintwitch”), and the Paki-stani one-man-firm solicitor “up North” have not, as far as I have seen anywhere, sued Tommy Robinson; neither have they taken even preliminary steps to doing so. I have no idea whether the three stooges will just split the nearly £12,000 donated by hundreds of naive “woke” mugs. I would not be surprised if that had already occurred. If so, it would be not far from being a species of fraud.
The “woke”, pro-“antifa” and “anti-racist” people on Twitter etc are often just stupid mugs; look at how many of them donate money monthly on Patreon to the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, aka “Jack Monroe”.
Update, 23 February 2023
Stuchbery is still “grifting”…
January and February are always very tight. If you enjoy the periodic content that your favourite neurospicy history-obsessive creates, why not buy me a three-buck coffee? Better than giving Space Karen eight bucks! https://t.co/Xd2iEmxucQpic.twitter.com/FstYsjUZc0
Well, contrary to what he said a few years ago, Stuchbery has now given up the fiction that he “works three jobs“, or even one. He tweeted a little while ago that he is now a beneficiary of Germany’s generous social security/”welfare” system. As I presumed would be the case from the start.
Update, 17 October 2024
Verrry tough month here, so if you enjoy my content across my various social media, buying me a coffee would be greatly appreciated. https://t.co/F5OpoIhhNI
Because it doesn't pay the bills, man. I literally need to use the time to find a full-time gig.
Look, I'd love tweeting on history, but people aren't gonna sign up to a Patreon for tweets and there's no way I'm signing up for a blue tick to get paid for impressions. https://t.co/IBzYuImpxg
Pity. Even I was willing to concede that I liked some of Stuchbery’s historical pieces (though not the ones about 19thC/20thC history, where his political biases and ignorance tend to result in risible errors). No matter that Stuchbery mostly copies stuff he gets from tourist literature; some is still of interest.
Actually, you know what, fuck it, I'm curious, and I'm broke, and I wanna tweet about history without X Premium or whatever.
Would you pay €2-3 a month for a couple of threads, 'On This Day's and other historical treats?
Looks like Stuchbery has about 36 potential clients, so a potential 72 Euros a month (about £60)… Better keep “signing-on” in Stuttgart!
Update, 28 November 2024
Stuchbery is still making empty threats, this time against Elon Musk!

Musk will be shaking with fear as unemployed grifter Stuchbery (who lives off the German social security system) threatens to “make a noise“! The German psychiatrists who must now be prescribing his medication should increase the dosage!
Here is Stuchbery “making a noise” about me (falsely, because he had already tweeted several if not many times about me) in 2020:
Does anybody know who this Ian Millard bloke is? It's just been brought to my attention he's been consistently defaming me. https://t.co/1Kv5xYACVx
Ok. Finally pulled the plug over there. Difficult, as it gave me a voice when I struggled in real life. It took me some wild places. It’s a dark place now, and I can’t be a part of it any longer. Can’t give the worst people in the world that much access to me. Deeply bittersweet, but also relief.— Mike Stuchbery 💀🍷 (@mikestuchbery.bsky.social) 22 January 2025 at 11:55
Stuchbery has already started to “report” various Blue Sky posts with which he disagrees. Ha…

Update, 30 January 2025
Despite the largesse of the German social security system, Stuchbery continues to beg for money online:
BYW, if you're enjoying #badeurope, you can always buy me a coffee. It fuels the sifting for historical horrors! ko-fi.com/mikestuchbery
…and he still has not corrected his own historical errors of years ago, some pointed out above on the blog…
Meanwhile, dozens of mugs on Blue Sky Social apparently regard Stuchbery as some kind of authority on German National Socialism and the Third Reich! Ha ha!
