Myerson’s comment is improper. He should be reported (again) to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/.

Also, there should be reform of this whole outdated and degraded “KC” stuff.

In the 1920s, only a few (3 or 4) KCs were granted “letters patent” annually. Back then, to be “KC” really meant something. Today, almost everyone and his dog sports the “KC” label:

In 1959, there were 181 practising Queen’s Counsel. Between 1966 and 1970, the number of practising QCs increased from 208 to 262. Wikipedia states that this number continued to grow, reaching 404 in 1978 and 601 in 1989.

From 1991 to 2000, the number of practising QCs steadily rose from 736 to 1072. In 1995, 71 QCs were appointed.

In 2006, 175 QCs were appointed out of 443 applicants. 33 of these were women, 10 were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and 4 were solicitors.

Between 1995 and 2023, data shows fluctuation in appointments, ranging from 60 in 1998 to 175 in 2006.

In 2021, 101 KCs (previously QCs) were appointed, including five solicitors.

In 2023 and 2022, 95 KCs were appointed in each year.

In 2024, 95 new KCs were appointed.

In 2025, 105 KCs were appointed, representing the biggest cohort in four years.

Efforts are ongoing to increase diversity among KC appointees, with the Bar Council actively encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and tracking statistics on women, ethnic minority lawyers, and those with disabilities.

The “KC” label is now almost worthless, though of course merely being a barrister is even less valuable…

Thousands of persons are now carrying the rank “KC”. Degradation, as with titles such as “lord”, “sir” etc…

“Coalition of the Clowns”.

Anyone deliberately starting large-scale wildfires must be dealt with severely.

“French“? Even Goodwin is, apparently, still infected by politically-correct nonsense-language.

(and, no, I don’t care whether the untermensch may possess a piece of paper saying that he is “French”…).

[“A significant number of British and English people are spontaneously “raising the colours” —flying Union Jack and St George’s Flags on their streets and outside their homes This should be seen for what it is —an act of resistance against mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, the decision by politicians to house illegal migrants in the heart of their communities, and the loss of their national identity. The English philosopher Sir Roger Scruton once said “the English are reluctant to display their identity — reluctant to sing their national anthem, to wave their flag, or to affirm their nationhood … But the cost of this reluctance is the steady erosion of something precious —a shared first-person plural.” What he meant by that was the erosion of a “we” —the erosion of a community, an identity, a home. And this is precisely what millions of British and English people now feel, even if many do not yet want to say it out loud—that we are losing a very precious sense of “we”. Mass immigration, open borders, a state policy of multiculturalism that prioritises minorities over the majority, cultural fragmentation, and an aggressive globalism that wants you to believe the only thing that defines people from these islands is not our own distinctive identity, culture, and history but merely welcoming others and celebrating “diversity” … all this has left many people feeling utterly bewildered, lost, demoralised, and in a place that no longer looks or feels like home. This is why some people in Britain and England, on streets like the one below, are “raising the colours”. By flying their flags they are letting us all know that they do exist, they do belong, they do have a home, and there is a “we” they want to reassert and protect, no matter how much the elite class want them and you to think otherwise.“]

“Raise the banners!”…

More Israeli war crimes.

[“Every single Jewish doctor who followed me for at least 6 years, often DMing me for a chat, has either unfollowed or blocked me recently for calling Gaza what it is -an atrocity. Not one of them has ever mentioned starving children in their tweets yet we’ve heard plenty about the hostages. I’m sorry but you shouldn’t be in medicine – they all were (rightly) devastated by the anti-semitism of colleagues after 7/10 yet have shown no empathy whatsoever for innocent Palestinian kids dying of starvation and disease. I’ve kept a very balanced view, sympathy for all sides, always fighting anti-semitism hard but Israel has gone way too far and if you’re standing by that, you’ve lost your way, precious few Israelis are. Israel & Netanyahu are fuelling anti-semitism not girls with leukaemia. If you cannot take a balanced view I don’t want your follow anyway. And tragically the actions of Israel have made it highly unlikely any more hostages will be got out alive.“]

Looks like someone is belatedly and reluctantly coming to certain conclusions about “them”…

Of course, Washington D.C. is largely non-white anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Demographics. Not entirely, though. European-origined people are about 38% of the population, and many more reside in the suburbs, in the states of Maryland and Virginia; places such as McLean.

I have to admit that some of that was new to me.

Yes, and not because Farage or Reform are anything much, but simply because the main System parties are hated now, held in utter contempt, and rightly so.

Well, this week brings another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10. My score was 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, 9, and 10.

[“More victims of Israel’s war crimes. This child was wounded in an air strike on a tent. No parents with her, meaning her family was killed. THE KILLING OR MAIMING OF BABIES IS NOT A COLLATERAL DAMAGE. IT IS AN ISRAELI POLICY. Listen to what former head of the military intelligence directorate said in a recording leaked just today. He said that israel should kill 50 Palestinians for each israeli killed on 10/7, even if these Palestinians were kids. Listen to what israeli ministers and knesset members say. Some want to eliminate Palestinian babies. Listen to religious leaders too: Rabbi Eliyahu Mali “Today he is a baby, tomorrow he is a fighter … whoever comes to kill you … also includes the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce the future generation (women of Gaza)” And the whole fu**ing world is not stopping them.“]

https://twitter.com/i/status/1956502994268106821

The UK (government and people) should be cracking down at least on Israel’s diplomatic representation in this country and, most importantly, on the Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals which are facilitating Israeli war crimes; organizations such as the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and its unpleasant spokespersons such as “Slitherman”.

Child abuse seems to be prevalent in Israel, which really is a very sick society.

Is that so surprising? There has been a gradual takeover of the USA (especially political life, publishing, TV/radio, film industry legal system) by “them”; over a century or more, but especially since the 1970s.

It is at its most obvious, arguably, in respect of American politicians, the bought-and-paid-for Ted Cruz or Huckabee type.

[“In the first photo, we see a leader capable of achieving victories both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table — a leader who defends national interests and sets the agenda, rather than following imposed scenarios. In the second — a politician who endlessly balances on the threshold of others’ offices, begging for support, but ultimately sacrificing his people to the interests of the USA and NATO. Alas, history has not become a source of political wisdom for him.“]

For “Western“, read (((you-know-who)))…

Israel is doomed.

Mostly non-whites, and/or public sector office workers, NHS staff (maybe), CPS box-tickers, and the like..

All the same, he has 7,000 nuclear weapons, and three million men under arms. Has Montgomerie never heard of Napoleon?

If Montgomerie thinks that Putin looks comical or inadequate, what must he have thought of Britain’s pygmy “national leaders”? Starmer-stein, somewhere between an irrelevance and a national embarrassment; the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, who stands about 5 ft nothing; Liz Truss, thick as two short planks, quite uneducated, and who only became an MP in the first place on her back; Boris-idiot, the part-Jew chancer and self-promoter, who always pretended to some kind of great classical erudition but whose real knowledge of anything and everything is very very shallow; Theresa May, another partly-Jewish one, formerly a back-room nobody in the direct-debit and cheque-clearing organization, BACS; David Cameron-Levita, partly-Jewish, again, and whose Libyan misadventure has been a major cause of the migration-invasion of Europe. All of those…

Incidentally, all of those noted are or were in the pocket of the Israel lobby.

That tweeter/commentator, Stadlen, a half-Jew, takes every opportunity to attack those fighting against the migration-invasion of this country.

As to the “jury’s verdict” in the Ricky Jones case, it was plainly perverse, plainly political or socio-political and, as I noted yesterday on the blog, probably the result of a largely or entirely non-white jury, and/or one containing jurors motivated by socio-political bias.

In fact, once society becomes fragmented, the jury system no longer works properly, at least in “political” cases. That is what happened in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Juries were biased either towards or against defendants, bias based on perceived community allegiances, or were subject to intimidation. Thus it became necessary to institute “Diplock courts”, in which a judge sat without a jury:

“The courts were established in response to a report submitted to the UK Parliament in December 1972 by Lord Diplock,[6] which addressed the issue of dealing with physical force Irish republicanism through means other than internment (which had been implemented in August 1971). In his report, Diplock cited two primary reasons for his recommendation that jury trials should be suspended: that jurors had been threatened, “of which we have had ample evidence”.[7]; the danger of perverse acquittals...”

[Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplock_court].

A friend of mine, a barrister, once saw a Diplock court in action in Belfast, sometime in the 1980s (invited to see it by a barrister he knew from that region). He told me it was strange to enter a typical old-style British courtroom, all wooden panelling, bewigged judge and Counsel etc, but no jury. As well as the usual court staff, usher etc, a couple of policemen standing guard, and armed with submachineguns.

In the case before that court, a man stood accused of being a member of one of the paramilitary organizations (I forget which one). My friend recounting this to me said that the impression was that of a kangaroo court, but in fact the judge, on consideration of all the evidence, acquitted the defendant at the end.

A number of (real) British people have been imprisoned for race/politics offences in recent years, after juries convicted them; Jez Turner, and Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), to name but two. Time for Brits on juries to start acquitting those standing up for European race, culture and civilization.

Historical note

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/25387121.horrific-murder-case-spanish-flu-bournemouth/

It was a unique illness that globally killed millions. Commonly known as Spanish flu, it so overwhelmed Mary Wiseman that in delirium, she not only cut her own throat but also stabbed her baby daughter.

[Bournemouth Echo]

Well worth reading.

Incidentally, as that report makes plain, the “Spanish Flu” (which in fact seems to have originated in the USA, specifically in Kansas) is variously estimated to have killed anywhere from 17 to 50 million people worldwide (including 200,000 in the UK), which certainly puts the “Covid” “panicdemic” in perspective.

While 200,000+ are supposed to have died “with Covid” in the UK over the five years 2020-2025 (mostly in 2020-2022), almost all of those deaths were in fact from other causes and/or from normal winter influenza (reclassified, in effect, as “Covid” deaths).

Did the authorities of 1918-1919 “lock down” the country, or the world? No. Life continued.

Talking point

I happened to notice that a blog post from several years ago had a few hits this morning. I took a look and saw the following paragraphs written by me. Still correct, I think…

Definitions: “British expat“— someone who lives and works temporarily in another country/society, or retires there with a pension and/or capital, or goes to live in another closely-connected white society such as Australia or New Zealand. Will have arrived in that country lawfully, and is almost invariably an asset to the host country.

Migrant“, aka “migrant-invader“— today usually a black or brown person, who may or may not have arrived lawfully in the UK (or other white European-race country), who will almost invariably have no capital or income, and will almost certainly be a drain on the public funds of the UK or other unwillingly-hosting country. The invader will either be unwilling to work (except for extra and untaxed cash while also claiming State welfare benefits), or be unable to work at anything beyond the lowest grade of employment by reason of having few if any marketable skills, no usable qualifications, and often little or no English language proficiency. A millstone round the neck of the UK (etc).

Anyone who equates “Brit expat” with black/brown migrant-invader is not only very mistaken, but a complete idiot (and/or malicious).”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14993783/Russia-makes-key-advance-Ukraines-line-just-days-Trumps-summit-Putin.html

Russia has made a key battlefield breakthrough in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin races to secure as much as land as possible before Friday’s Alaska summit with US President Donald Trump that could finally end war after three gruelling years.

Moscow has reportedly already seized more than 10 kilometres (six miles) of land in its lightning offensive. 

The Ukrainian military estimates some 110,000 Russian troops are advancing in the direction of Pokrovsk in what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin.

As noted before on the blog, the front-lines of the Kiev regime are crumbling. Losses amount to 1,000-3,000 men daily, and there are large-scale desertions, despite the risks, and severe penalties if caught. To remain in place is a near death sentence, and that is why most men in Ukraine try to avoid or evade the draft. The regime uses press-gangs to kidnap potential recruits off the streets.

Zelensky’s regime of Jew-Zionists, and thick-set Ukrainian thugs, cannot last. The leading members will either flee to other countries or will be captured and dealt with.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14992925/Intoxicated-Nigerian-man-sexually-assaulted-teenager-victim-court-ruined-life.html

A Nigerian man who sexually assaulted a young woman next to Bournemouth beach has been spared jail because of his ‘troubled background and difficult life’.

Ayomide Famakinde, 23, was given a community order by the judge who said the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’.

Famakinde had approached his 19-year-old victim late at night in the Dorset seaside town in August 2022, and put his hands down her jogging bottoms.

As the 19-year-old tried to fight him off, they fell to the ground. 

Famakinde ignored her ‘shouts’ to stop and carried on until he was pulled off the victim by his friend. The two men then walked off together while the teenager was left in tears. 

The victim told Bournemouth Crown Court Famakinde had ‘ruined her life’ and she ‘no longer feels safe walking alone’. 

But a judge ruled the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’ and the defendant had a ‘very troubled background and difficult life’.

Famakinde, a gym instructor from south London, was given an 18-month community order and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work, as it was deemed that a custodial sentence would be too severe.”

Shadows on the wall of the cave.

There has to be a reason why “they” have been expelled from about 109 states and territories in world history.

[“Foreign Policy magazine published an article titled:

“The next war between Iran and Israel is approaching.”

Iran is preparing for this attack and, unlike the previous war, this time intends to deliver powerful strikes from the very first hours to show that there will be no military occupation by Israel.

The war is predicted to be significantly bloodier than the previous one. If Donald Trump, under pressure from Israel, decides to intervene, the US risks getting involved in a conflict that will be more severe than the war in Iraq.

Key points of the article:

Israel’s June attacks had three goals: to draw the US into a direct war with Iran; to overthrow the Iranian leadership; to turn the country into a “convenient target” like Syria or Lebanon, which can be bombed without US intervention. Only the first goal was fully achieved — and even then, only partially.

Contrary to Israel’s expectations, Trump limited himself to one operation against nuclear facilities and refused to expand the war, forcing Tel Aviv to agree to a truce.

Israel failed to destroy the Iranian state system: even after the assassination of commanders and scientists, Iran quickly restored its military structure and carried out large-scale missile strikes, which, on the contrary, strengthened national unity in the country.

Israel lost part of its air superiority and suffered serious losses in its missile defense system. The US had to transfer 25% of the THAAD missile defense system to its ally within 12 days.

Now Israel will likely try to attack before Iran completes the restoration of its missile and defense capabilities.

Iran threatens a swift and harsh response to disrupt Israel’s “lawn mowing” strategy — regular preemptive strikes.

Article conclusion: The outcome of the next war will depend on who recovers forces faster and closes defense gaps. For Trump, in the second conflict, there will be no “middle ground” — either full intervention or complete refusal to participate.“]

[“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”]

Blood will have blood” [Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act 3, Scene 4].

From the 1940s through to 2025, and continuing, Jews have seized, or cheated Arab Palestinians out of, their ancestral lands. Jews now own or control over 97% of pre-1948 Palestine (more if you include Gaza) yet even that is not enough for them. They want the remaining <3%…

Time to cut out Jewish and Israeli influence within UK governmental and societal structures.

First necessity is to stop listening to the concerted, organized Jew-Zionist/Israeli whining about what some Germans and some others are alleged to have done to some Jews in —mainly— the early 1940s, over 80 years ago, because that whole “holocaust” farrago is used as a shield to excuse or justify their crimes today.

The Jewish/Israeli lobby in the UK, which is effectively an offshoot of Israel, has been trying to close down Al Jazeera for years. “UK Lawyers for Israel”, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and the rest. All part of the same basic or overall “operation”— a Hydra-headed monster.

Even some Zionist Jews, both inside and outside Israel, are appalled at the Israeli brutality in Palestine (in this case in the West Bank).

Not everything in Israel is evil, but when Israel is destroyed, as it surely will eventually be destroyed, almost all the non-Jewish world will breathe a sigh of relief.

All that Macron could do would be to repress the Jew-Zionist lobby in France itself, but I doubt that he would do that, looking at who put him into power in the first place. See:

Europe has had more than three years to prepare for this moment, yet it still lacks the military power to support Ukraine on its own,” adds the American news agency.

Prospects for territorial concessions horrify Ukraine and Europe, and the choice of Alaska as the meeting place was a subtle hint that Europeans and Kyiv have no leverage.”]

This is sounding better and better.

The time may be coming when the people will have to take matters into their own hands, at least temporarily.

This is what happens when you fail to clear out a backward culture, which has no right to be in any part of Europe.

In other news, a big bear was seen in Alaska…

Jew (Israeli) casualties during the Hamas incursion into southern Israel of 2023— about 1,000-1,500, many of which were members of military or security organizations, and many of which were killed in fact by Israeli forces operating a scorched earth policy.

Palestinian Arab casualties in Gaza killed or badly wounded as a result of Israeli/Jewish retaliation and revenge— about 200,000, mostly civilians, mostly women and children, many shot for evil sport by Jewish soldiers, or simply killed to clear a whole urban area. That, plus deliberate starvation, cutting off of water supply, deliberate withholding of medical supplies, bombing and complete destruction of hospitals.

The disproportion alone is staggering.

If what the Israeli Jews are doing in Gaza are not war crimes, then the term is meaningless; same goes for “genocide”.

Sliding standards in “diverse” Britain

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14986419/Students-university-Es-level-Government-diversity-targets.html

Students with A-level grades as low as three Es are being enrolled at universities to hit Government diversity targets, data reveals.

Figures from admissions body UCAS show many top universities…are accepting severely underperforming students in a bid to fulfil equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) targets.

The practice has become widespread across the sector after the Government-sponsored Office for Students (OfS) regulator urged universities to be more ‘ambitious’ in ‘reducing inequality’.

Typically, universities let in students with lower grades – making a ‘contextual offer’ – if they reveal on their UCAS form that they suffered disadvantage. A handful also take into account race or gender.

[Daily Mail]

This is how standards across the board in society start to slide. Not dramatically. Gradually. A gradual acceptance of the inferior. You see it everywhere now.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14986043/I-gave-daughters-pony-zoo-fed-lions-no-regrets.html

When Pernille Sohl was faced with the upsetting and difficult decision of what to do with her daughter’s ailing pony, she could’ve taken it to the vet.

But instead, the Danish mother decided to travel to the local zoo to be fed to the lions. 

The 44-year-old took the pony along to northern Denmark’s Aalborg Zoo, one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions, to dispose of the family pet.”

[Daily Mail]

Whatever the logical justifications, that strikes me as cold and sick.

Incidentally (and, today, typically), the Mail’s report is only semi-literate. Look at the second paragraph/sentence for further proof, if more were needed, that the 20-something scribblers now called “journalists” cannot write English properly. That sentence makes it seem that the woman decided to go to the zoo to feed herself to the lions!

“Police have been condemned for seeing a father at home to ‘warn’ him about attending a protest against illegal migrants – despite one officer apologetically admitting that the visit was ‘b*******’.

Two West Midlands Police officers visited the man in Coventry to hand him a leaflet about ‘correct’ behaviour expected at public demonstrations.

But one is in trouble after door-cam footage recorded him calling the visit ‘b*******’ and adding: ‘It’s not something I agree with, but I’ve been asked to do it.’

The officer says he has been sent to give him a leaflet. He adds, laughing: ‘It sounds daft, so I apologise, and it’s really woeful. It’s not something I agree with but I’ve been asked to do it.’

[Daily Mail]

That is akin to what happened to me about a year ago. A uniformed policeman came to my door and confronted me with a print-out of some alleged tweets, while explaining that there was “no need to worry” because the matter had already been “NFA’d” [“No Further Action”].

The tweets were not very literate, very much not similar to my own writing style, and seemed to be a criticism of someone (as far as I could see, unnamed).

The policeman would not let me examine the alleged tweets in detail once I had explained to him, in terms, that I had once had a Twitter account but that Jews had had me expelled in 2018, and that the last time I had tweeted anything was therefore in 2018. In other words, the alleged tweets could not have been from me.

I presumed at the time that that incident had been triggered by yet another false accusation or complaint by some Jew, as has happened to me several times over the past decade or so. I still think so, but heard no more from the police about it.

So that policeman had completely wasted his time coming to see me about alleged tweets which were anyway obviously not unlawful (and therefore had been binned as requiring No Further Action by the police). So why even talk to me?

Incidentally, I was unable to see my name anywhere on that document, in the brief seconds when I looked at it. I have no idea why the police even thought that it had anything to do with me (assuming that they did in fact think that).

It is hard to overestimate the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on American domestic architecture in particular. I once had a girlfriend in Tampa, Florida, who lived only one or two roads away from one of his more ordinary houses built for private clients.

Zelensky is only a player in the war because entirely propped-up by American, UK, and EU money, arms, ammunition, medical supplies etc. A puppet, albeit a loud and unpleasant one.

[“Polish political scientist Wilomski on how Ukraine cannot even play to a draw with Russia: Great Britain, France, Germany and Ukraine have presented an alternative plan to Putin and Trump to end the war. If I had not regularly followed the news from the front, I would have concluded from this plan that Ukraine, if not winning, would at least play to a draw. This is completely unrealistic, a distortion of reality, a utopia and a dream. I believe that Trump should ignore Western leaders and make peace with Putin, ignoring the unrealistic European living room.“]

[“Zelensky will do everything to prevent a peaceful resolution of the conflict “He does this because he profits from the conflict and justifies the absence of elections with military actions. The USA needs to understand – a change of power in Ukraine through elections is necessary”, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky.

He believes that the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Finland, as well as the leadership of the European Commission, are once again trying to disrupt the peace process. “Globalists demonstrate negative subjectivity: they do not know how to build their own, but they destroy others’ peace efforts”, he added.“]

We must step back from a devastating conflict that might take our civilization back tens of thousands of years. The firtst thing to do is to cut of arms, ammunition, and money from the Zelensky regime.

Genuine humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families is acceptable, despite the fact that it also, to some extent, helps the Kiev-regime war effort. Humane behaviour needs to survive in war.

You can see in that Scandinavian Airlines System [SAS] TV ad that the destruction of people feeling good about themselves, their history, their culture, is not confined to Britain, France, Germany, but is still being pushed in Sweden, Denmark etc. Who is behind it, ultimately? Three guesses (“them”)…

See:

Thus we see the constant pro-immigration propaganda across Europe.

People are fighting back in various ways, sometimes via political parties and elections, sometimes via direct action, and even on the individual level, as we saw in Norway quite a few years ago.

Maybe, but Reform is currently running somewhere between 28% and 34%. That is really all it needs to triumph, in the absence of one really strong opposing party. At present, the Labour Party is running between 22% and 25%, while the once-great Conservative Party languishes somewhere below 20%, most recently 15%.

It may well be that the younger voters, the teens and twenty-somethings, will not much favour Reform, overall, but many of that age group do not vote, a trend likely to stay in place while the System parties are so uninspiring or even despised.

If Reform has a ceiling of 35% or even 30% (and we do not know as yet whether that will prove to be the case), that will probably still be enough to give Reform a Commons majority, looking at where the other main/System parties are.

It seems to me unlikely that the Conservative Party can ever recover, because its demographic and ideological bases are eroding daily. To get from 15%-19% public support, where it now is, to the —at lowest— 28% which might give it a Commons majority, is unlikely. Indeed, under Nigerian chancer Kemi Badenoch, its share of potential general election votes seems more likely to decline than to increase.

As to Labour, despised, held in contempt by many, but with support still from the ethnic minority blocs, and from the public service employees, particularly NHS people, who alone number in the hundreds of thousands:

“England’s NHS is the largest employer in Europe, with one in every 25 adults in England working for the NHS.[46] Nursing staff accounted for the largest cohort at more than 330,000 employees, followed by clinical support staff at 290,000, scientific and technical staff at 163,000 and physicians at 133,000.” [Wikipedia]

That is the NHS in England, i.e. excluding Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

A significant voting bloc, and mostly voting Labour.

Labour is currently running at public support of around 20%-25%, but might be able to recover to 30% or higher, in principle. It won the 2024 General Election on only 33.7%, so the devil is, as it often is, very much in the detail.

If both Labour and Reform were around 30%, then both would probably end up with 250-300 seats. Hung Parliament.

At present, though, Reform is still the only game in town, and the others are scrabbling to catch up in a societal situation where nothing seems to be improving for the voters.

Starmer-stein, a little man trying to play it big on the world stage. Meanwhile, the UK is gradually collapsing.

To my mind, it is not whether some form of untidy, messy social/civil/racial/cultural war will break out in the UK, but when, and what form or forms that conflict might take.

The Kiev regime is losing, effectively has lost, on the battlefield, but the BBC, Sky News etc are still feeding their viewers rubbish from paid pseudo-experts (in Kiev, London, Washington) who are still pushing the line that it is Russia that is losing and cannot continue.

I hope that Russia continues until it has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

It is a misuse of the laws permitting proscription of supposedly “terrorist” organizations to label ordinary protesters “terrorist“. In fact, it makes a mockery of the whole thing.

Interesting. I knew that barrister and (sacked) part-time judge, Simon Myerson (of Leeds and Manchester) had been a witness in the case, and that the trial judge disbelieved his evidence (or discounted it as having been worthless) but had no idea that he was one of what looks now like a conspiratorial gaggle of Jews who apparently were “advising” the three losing defendants.

Newbon, of course, killed himself when he realized that his family home was on the line for having lost the libel case. He had concealed everything from his wife, too.

Sounds as though Myerson should probably be reported to the Bar Standards Board (not for the first time, I believe).

Much of a muchness with other recent polls. Reform with 375-400 MPs and a large Commons majority, Labour with about 122 MPs, and the Con Party left utterly irrelevant with about 27 MPs, making it only the 4th, possibly 5th-largest, party (after Reform, Lab, LibDems, and possibly the SNP).

I suppose some tyrannical leaders might be tempted to covertly eliminate them.

It seems that, not satisfied with having seized, or tricked the Arab Palestinians into giving up, 97% of the land of pre-1947 Palestine, the Jews now want the remaining 3% for Jewish Lebensraum.

Talking point

There is now effectively nothing left of the original, or even original post-WW2 (1945-1989), Labour Party.

Tweets seen

The irrelevance of the Conservative Party is plainly seen there. Despite Starmer-stein having a disapproval rating of 60%, and Kemi Badenoch having one of “only” 35%, when it comes to positive approval, the two are both down in the trough of public esteem: Starmer 23%, Kemi Badenoch 24%. Indeed, fewer people actively disapprove of Kemi Badenoch (35%) than disapprove of Farage (41%), but when it comes to positive approval, Farage, on 37%, easily outpaces Kemi Badenoch’s 24%.

41% of people are unsure as to whether they approve or disapprove of Kemi Badenoch, a sure sign that she has made little impression on the public (and it can be seen that what impression she has made is mostly not favourable). By contrast, only 22% of the public are “unsure” about Farage— people either approve or disapprove of him, in almost equal numbers.

People are even more sure about Starmer. Only 17% are “unsure” about him, but 60% disapprove of him.

Quite simple. 14 years of total maladministration and misgovernment finished the Conservative Party with most of the electorate, though 3 out of every 12 voters who voted (3 out of every 20 eligible) still voted Con in 2024 (Labour had 4 out of 20 or 4 out of 12). Most of those Con voters were over 60 years of age, many over 80. They have mostly now gone to Reform UK, and many are expiring daily by reason of old age etc. The next general election may not be until 2029; how many habitual Con voters will have expired by then?

The young (anyone under 30, indeed the vast majority under 40) will not be voting Con. Most of the ethnic minority (rapidly becoming majority) voters prefer Labour or other parties. So who is left?

Once again, the “snake in the grass” here is the Jewish-Zionist/Israel lobby in the UK, which has most of the politicians of the two main System parties (and Reform, too, it seems) in its pocket. The (((lobby))) wants many many organizations banned or prosecuted; it wants many individuals prosecuted, too (they have already tried it with me: see below:

Strange that that former Conservative Party tweeter, Fiona-Natasha Syms (her ex-husband was Conservative Party MP for Poole until 2024; he lost by a mere 18 votes; and she worked for him, paid generously out of her ex-husband’s MP expenses) thinks that (of all people) Yvette Cooper is to be admired. Nein danke! Yvette Cooper is a would-be dictator, very dishonest, a moneygrubber and expenses cheat (as was her husband, Ed Balls), and a “refugees welcome” dimwit to boot! Also, like all of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet —except a few servile Muslims— a member of Labour Friends of Israel.

Short-sighted Con voters in some parts of England have, in the past couple of decades, shown themselves willing, in my view very wrongly, to vote for non-Europeans such as Kemi Badenoch as their constituency MP, so long as the right party label is affixed. Putting promises of low taxation etc above racial or national pride. That has led to the brainless Conservatives imagining that the country as a whole will vote, in effect, for a party led by a non-white MP. Very misguided. Look at Sunak.

True, that was not the only factor that sank the Conservatives at GE2024, but it was one important factor. Sunak was, in that sense, more “electable” than Kemi Badenoch. After all, people look at Indians en masse and see business, at least some organizational skills and, in Sunak’s case, a UK upbringing. Added to that, the vast wealth of his wife’s family and so his own wealth, meaning that, whether rightly or wrongly, he is at least perceived to be “in it” not for personal money reasons. Compare that to Kemi Badenoch, a loudmouth careerist carpetbagger.

Most Brits, not unfairly, look at Nigeria and see chaotic maladministration, corruption even worse than that of India, and nothing at all to admire. Kemi Badenoch was not even brought up in the UK. Her parents made sure that she was born in London, so that (under the law as it then was, in 1980) she could later claim a British passport, but she was only in the UK for a few days before being returned to Nigeria. She lived there and in the USA until at least age 16.

For those who say that Kemi Badenoch is scarcely a typical Nigerian, well, yes. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, in effect (not an exact quotation), “the rich are different from you and me; they have more money“.

Yes, Kemi Badenoch is not a typical Nigerian. I have known a few like her, such as the Nigerian princess with whom I was acquainted in the mid/late 1980s, and whose (much older) husband was a Federal High Court judge in Nigeria. However, the basic model is still there, not far under the surface. (if anyone is interested, that Nigerian princess was shot dead in her luxury apartment in Lagos , nearly 30 years ago; Lagos is a rather dangerous place).

I just cannot believe that the British public will vote for a Prime Minister who is a Nigerian woman. The very idea, at least to me, is utterly farcical.

When you add to that her abrasive personality etc, you see how disastrous Kemi Badenoch is for the Conservative Party, which looks increasingly irrelevant.

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

No, don’t resign. Stay in place, dragging down your double salary (MP + ministerial) plus expenses, and making money out of being an exploitative private landlady. That will help to sink Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel government even faster.

Anyone who has had to deal with the chaotic crazy mess called “HMRC” will be familiar with the term “Kafka-esque“. I am glad to say that my interaction with them ceased some 13-14 years ago (in relation to matters now 20-40 years in the past). I found it hard to believe, at the time, that such chaotic maladministration could exist in this country.

[incidentally…internet definitions of “Kafka-esque“:

extremely unpleasant, frightening, and confusing, and similar to situations described in the novels of Franz Kafka: He is caught up in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. The urban landscape is invested with a nightmarish, Kafkaesque bleakness.”

and/or

Synonyms of Kafkaesque:

  • surreal.
  • unusual.
  • irrational.
  • illogical.
  • strange.
  • unreasonable.
  • weird.
  • misleading.

From what I read in newspapers, HMRC has not improved much, if at all, since they decided to engage in dialogue with me 13-18 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Revenue_and_Customs#Controversies

In fact, HMRC reminded me slightly of the 1950 comic novel, The Way Backwards.

Translates to about 414 Reform UK MPs, 94 Labour, 54 LibDems, 37 SNP, Cons 21.

That would be a Commons majority greater than that of Starmer in 2024, and almost as great as that of Blair in 1997. Prior to that, very large majorities were achieved in the early 1930s, in the 1920s, and by Earl Grey’s government of 1832. All times of sweeping change.

Of course, 32% of the popular vote is not huge in historical terms, but is about what Starmer-Labour gathered-in in 2024. It hardly matters that your vote is “only” 32% if your main opponents are getting 20% and 16%.

War is hell, even when unavoidable. May victory attend the forces of Russia in Eastern Ukraine, and be the forerunner of genuine peace.

[“Former heads of the army, police, Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israeli military intelligence issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. They emphasized that this conflict is no longer just and poses a threat to the very identity of Israel, its values, and its international image.“]

I wonder whether the fanatically pro-Israel Jew-Zionists of the UK (etc), such as those malicious abusers of the English legal system, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], are listening?

Incidentally, I see that lying perjurer Gideon Falter, the head or figurehead of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was allowed to publish a fairly long opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. The horrible little bastard had the sheer gall to write about the small number of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that they now look like Jews starved in German camps at the end of the Second World War.

That at a time when an Arab Palestinian population in the many hundreds of thousands, including huge numbers of civilians (many of them children), is being deliberately starved to death in Gaza by the (Israeli) Jews, a para-military campaign backed to the hilt by (non-Israeli) Jews such as Falter.

As a matter of fact, I should not be surprised if Falter, effectively an agent of influence of a foreign power, Israel, is not an Israeli passport-holder himself, perhaps a dual Israel/UK passport-holder (maybe even a triple passport-holder (Israel/UK/Austria).

I accept that the hostages in Gaza should be released, but the Palestinians have been pushed to the genocidal brink, and have few chips to play.

Israel should also release its own prisoners, of course. Some of them have also been brutalized and starved.

I once stayed overnight at Mappin’s hotel, a Victorian castle hotel at Tintagel, North Cornwall, the one-time seat of King Arthur. In late 2001; December 2001. It was not really run properly as “an hotel” should be; I believe that, since then, it has been taken in hand by Mappin, the heir to a very considerable fortune (think Mappin & Webb, the jewellers). I just read today that he bought it in 1999.

When I was there, it was hugely atmospheric, like a decayed private castle, an effect emphasized by the fact that my wife and I were the only guests, and the staff, in the evening at least, consisted of a not terribly welcoming middleaged Englishman and his (possibly Austrian) wife. I recall that our rather cold room (I think it may have had a four-poster, and an ancient bar fire set into the wall) cost £200 a night, quite expensive in the money of 24 years ago. Akin maybe to £400+ today.

I well recall, after eating informally at a local pub in the nearby village (no restaurant open then at the Castle), being seated before a Hollywood-film-scale blazing fire in the Great Hall, and being served a double or triple Irish whiskey, the absence of other guests making it seem as if we were in our own home (or castle).

In the morning, a very pleasant and very rickety old retainer-woman served breakfast in a long gallery, her tiny grandchild hanging onto her skirts, as the Cornish winter waves crashed onto the rocks below, as in Rebecca.

Memorable.

I blogged, years ago, about our stay. The Castle once played host to many of the rich and famous, especially in the years before the First World War. Composers such as Arnold Bax, and Elgar (who wrote much of his Second Symphony in the very room in which we were staying): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._2_(Elgar)#Extra-musical_considerations.

I expect it is very different today.

Ah. Just saw their website. Very different today, and much-modernized: https://camelotcastle.com/rooms/.

Good to see that Mappin is awake to at least part of the problem in the UK, but he is so very careful to push the “peaceful” protest idea— writing to MPs, becoming a candidate in elections etc. Yes but no but…

Typical.

I wonder whether the Israelis would allow echt-British/English people to go to Israel, scribble for newspapers, and go onto Israeli TV angrily urging more and more (non-Jewish) migration to Israel. The very idea is, of course, ludicrous, and would be even were those non-Jews born in Israel, which would be almost impossible anyway.

Reality has now been accepted by the vast majority of Ukrainians, and I expect that a majority would now accept Russian rule over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

One of the surviving defendants who lost that case, a Jew called Cantor, may now lose his home by reason of the negligence of his lawyers, particularly the self-promoting know-nothing, Mark Lewis.

From outside (and I know little more than I have read or seen), it seems to me that the defendant Cantor is going to have to sue Mark Lewis and Patron Law at least, in negligence, or lose the equity value in his home.

Before taking his new command, however, he swore the ‘customary oath’ to Hitler: to defend the fortress to the last man, and only to surrender with the authorisation of his superiors.[3] This oath to Hitler was, broadly speaking, respected by Wildermuth. At his interrogation by the British in January 1945, he stated that his aim had been to deny the Allies the use of the port, and to tie down as many Allied troops as possible, and that this had been achieved to his own satisfaction, since two British infantry divisions and about 150 tanks were assigned to the siege of Le Havre for almost fourteen days. Furthermore, while Wildermuth personally surrendered to British troops on 12 September, after being wounded in the thigh, he refused to order the surrender of the garrison on the ground that as a prisoner of war he no longer had any authority to do so.[4]

Prior to the early September launch of the British-led Operation Astonia to take the port city Wildermuth had requested that French citizens be evacuated before heavy pre-assault naval and air bombardment commenced. His offer was rebuffed by Lt-General John Crocker, in command of the 1st British Corps which had laid siege to the city. Crocker would later argue that if Wildermuth cared about the civilian population, he could have surrendered the garrison before the bombing began, and that acceding to Wildermuth’s request would have served only the German interest, by gaining time and removing potentially disruptive French civilians from the defended fortress.[5]

Another, but far more junior officer, Lieutenant William Douglas-Home (whose elder brother later became a Conservative Party prime minister), was also at Le Havre at the material time:

Despite his opposition to the policy of requiring the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany he was conscripted into the Army in July 1940 and joined the Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment).[7] He went to 161 Officer Cadet Training Unit (161 OCTU) in the buildings of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, where one of his colleagues was David Fraser. At Sandhurst, he was critical of the war, which he said had been unnecessary.[8] Douglas-Home was commissioned in the Buffs in March 1941.[9] While an officer he stood in the three parliamentary by-elections.

Douglas-Home was assigned to the 7th Battalion of the Buffs, which was converted to tanks as the 141 Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (141 RAC). In the Normandy campaign, 141 RAC was assigned to I Corps, a British formation within the First Canadian Army. In August, First Canadian Army was directed to mop up the German forces cut off in various sea ports in Normandy and Pas de Calais. In the first week of September 1944, the Allies moved against the port of Le Havre. A German garrison under Colonel Hermann-Eberhard Wildermuth was dug in on the hill overlooking the city. Wildermuth had been ordered by Hitler to defend Fortress Le Havre to the last man, and not to surrender.

When the Allied forces invested the city in advance of the planned aerial bombardment and subsequent assault, Wildermuth asked the British commander if the French civilians could be evacuated from the city, but that request was refused. Lieutenant (acting Captain) Douglas-Home was near Le Havre, awaiting the completion of the aerial bombardment. He was to serve as a liaison officer in Operation Astonia, the Allied attack on Le Havre. On the second day after the aerial bombardment had started, he learned of the German request to evacuate the civilians and the Allied refusal. The consequences of the bombardment were apparent to the waiting Allied forces and Douglas-Home refused to participate in the attack. He gave two reasons:[citation needed]

  • The unconditional surrender policy, which he thought compelled the enemy to fight to the end.
  • The refusal of civilian evacuation was morally unacceptable to him.

which created a moral obligation for Douglas-Home and he declined to participate.

The aerial bombardment of Le Havre lasted four nights, killed over 2,000 French civilians, 19 German soldiers and levelled the city. The Germans surrendered after two-days’ fighting and I Corps moved on to Boulogne, which was also subjected to a heavy aerial bombardment. At that time Douglas-Home, who had been placed under supervision (he did not consider himself at that time to have been “arrested”) wrote to the Maidenhead Advertiser and the publication of his letter in the newspaper prompted his formal arrest and detention.

Because of the article in the Maidenhead Advertiser, the Allied forces besieging Calais allowed the civilians to be evacuated from the town before it was subjected to a heavy aerial bombardment and final assault. Dunkirk was allowed to remain in German hands, with the besieged force bottled up, until Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945. In the wake of the publication, the British became sensitive to indiscriminate bombing of occupied cities and towns, although that consideration was not extended to towns and cities in Germany.

[Douglas-Home] served 8 months, initially in Wormwood Scrubs, then completing his term in Wakefield Prison.[11]

Captain Andrew Wilson, M.C. also served in 141 RAC. In his autobiography Flame Thrower, published in 1956, he recounts this incident and its consequences. Wilson wrote his story deliberately in the third person:

Even when he sailed with the regiment to Normandy, William had continued his private war-against-war. While headquarters were near Bayeux, he had written to the newspapers about some German ambulances shot up by British fighters. And what he had written was true. Wilson had seen the ambulances, riddled with bullets on the Tilly road.”

Worth remembering at the present time.

Saturday quiz

Well, not so good this week: 3/10 (or 3 “and a third” out of 10 if using the same calculation as political journalist John Rentoul, who claims 2 “and a third”). I knew the answers only to questions 4, 8, and 10 and (like Rentoul) also guessed one word of no. 1. On a few other questions, I came close “but no cigar”…

The policy even fails on its own terms, because of problems of definition and determination.

Good God. Even worse than I had thought. Equivalent to Hiroshima, Dresden etc in WW2. The (Israeli) Jews, as well as (((those))) in the UK, USA etc supporting the devastation/genocide/ethnic cleansing, surely stand guilty of war crimes by any reasonable definition.

Wall. Squad. End.

[“NEW PIECE In my latest essay in @TheSun I ask –what holds a civilisation together? In Ancient Greece, Pericles warned they only survive if leaders maintain the trust of the people In Ancient Rome, Cicero warned states will soon collapse if they don’t put their own people first In Britain today? We are witnessing the very opposite of all this. An out-of-touch ruling class that’s imposing an extreme policy of mass uncontrolled immigration and broken borders on everybody else, prioritising foreigners and pushing its own citizens to openly revolt.”]

Only lunatics are now volunteering to be sent to the crumbling front-lines of the Kiev regime. A death sentence.

…and the half-Jewess and Israeli agent Ghislaine “Maxwell” has apparently been moved from a high-security prison to a “Club Fed” in Texas. Is that the prelude to a Presidential pardon? Looks as if the (((usual))) fix is in.

More about Jew-Zionist fanatic “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, Patron Law, Jewish barrister Beth Grossman etc

A pack of Jews, abusing the English legal system (yet again).

For background about previous Mark Lewis defaults, see also:

Lewis is both incompetent and dishonest. Anyone who employs him as a solicitor (if anyone still does) is an idiot.

Incidentally, and for those unaware of the matter, the above tweets refer mostly to the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor. Wilson, an academic from the North of England, won his case despite a whole battery of Jews giving, in effect, perjured or tainted testimony. The witnesses (all Jews, all Israel fanatics) disbelieved by the trial judge included vituperative barrister Simon Myerson (dismissed, in effect, as part-time judge in 2024, because he was unable or unwilling to stop harassing people online), Daily Star scribbler Adam Cailler, one Joanne Bell (prolific on Twitter/X as “@jobellerina”), and Nathan Comiskey (another keyboard “warrior” for Israel) as well as the defendants.

Pete Newbon, one of the defendants, a sadistic and crazed Israel fanatic who trolled people mercilessly online, as well as committing various (other) crimes (his employer, a university, had already disciplined him for his appalling behaviour), committed suicide during the trial because he had not told his wife that their house was on the line. It appears that Mark Lewis and/or other Jewish lawyers had misled one or more of the defendants as to their downside risk. Dishonest, or simply incompetent? The Solicitors’ Regulation Authority is going to pronounce upon that soon.

Now, it seems that “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (solicitor) and Beth Grossman (Counsel, of Doughty Street Chambers in London) are refusing to disclose evidence about their behaviour during the course of the proceedings. It could lead to serious consequences for them, though Lewis is so washed-up now that it might not make much difference to him. Well, time will tell.

Late tweets seen

Order must be restored.

[“In case you’re not from the UK, this weekend there are yet more public protests against broken borders and mass immigration —in Islington, Manchester, Newcastle, Cannock, Portsmouth, Southampton. The mainstream media barely report on them. Politicians ignore them. But such is the level of public disillusionment with what is happening to our country that these protests are now becoming a persistent feature of our national life, which in itself shows both how out-of-touch the political system, and how febrile our once unified and stable society, have become.“]

[“Bookmark this tweet. And trust me. What Labour are about to do is approve ALL asylum claims so they can make it look like they are dealing with the backlog, while taking illegal migrants out of hotels and putting them in private housing to try and hide the costs. This is not dealing with the backlog. It will only incentivise many more to come. It will end up being a total disaster, much like their hapless “smash the gangs” strategy which I said in May 2024 would also be a total disaster.“]

As I have been predicting for a couple of years now on the blog…

As if that ridiculous monkey knows anything. Still, for once he is right, probably. The war may continue for another year. The Kiev-regime frontlines may last out that long, but in the end will crumble and collapse. Russia can take and should take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
