What can I say?

Stray thoughts on a hot afternoon

I have never claimed a long culinary repertoire; indeed, before I married for the first time, I lived almost entirely on cold food (whatever the season), or fed while outside my residence(s), though I did occasionally cook buckwheat kasha (quite nice if boiled then fried), scrambled eggs and, from time to time, vegetable curry.

Two marriages etc have, perhaps counter-intuitively, led me to pick up a few other recipes, such as fish pie. Today, though, I embark on something new, formerly had only at other people’s houses (often in gardens) in summer— okroshka.

Okroshka is cold soup, which if made properly is very pleasant on a hot day. Many recipes can be found online, e.g. https://www.anediblemosaic.com/okroshka-recipe-refreshing-russian-cold-soup/.

Sometimes, okroshka has ham in it, but I do not eat meat, and I think that (as with Russian or “Olivier” Salad), ham or other meat is an unnecessary extra anyway.

I doubt that mine will match examples had elsewhere, prepared by foodie people, and I lack kvass (a drink made from fermented rye bread), a usual ingredient, but I expect it will be good enough.

On this hot day, I have also been thinking about something else, namely the fact that the Starmer-stein Labour Friends of Israel government has lost control of this country in every way.

Migration-invasion continuing at an even greater rate, with an average of about 1,000 a day now crossing illegally, and a further 5,000+ coming in “legally”, as (or posing as) “dependent family”, “spouses”, “fiances”, “tourists”, “high-skilled workers” (Indians able to work a computer, medical staff etc), “students” (few ever return home), and so on.

We also have an “invasion by births”, births of non-Europeans, whether born in the UK or not.

Court system on its knees, street crime ubiquitous (in the London area). The latest wheeze is to release “some” (presumably, non-political) prisoners after they have served 20% of their headline sentence, so someone sentenced to a year will only do about 10 weeks, and a 3-month sentence will presumably be, in reality, 2-3 weeks .

If there were no non-Europeans in this country, or only small numbers, the prison population would not be about 120,000 but nearer to 20,000. In fact, if the Irish “tinker”/”traveller” element, and the Roma Gypsy element, were also both removed, the number of prisoners would fall to about 10,000.

The court system has backlogs which are getting worse. I noticed that Professor/Dr David Miller, now being privately prosecuted in the magistrates’ court by the malicious Jew-Zionist org “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, had his first appearance a few days ago. Trial is set for December!

In the Crown Courts, many cases starting their process now, have trial dates, in some instances, set as far ahead as 2029!

The streets, especially in London, are becoming an urban jungle.

This government has pretty much lost control. Ironic, really, because there has not been a UK government so full of control freaks since the days of Tony Blair.

Incidentally, another cold soup I like is vichyssoise. Maybe tomorrow or the next day.

That idiot thinks that Russia will allow a quasi-NATO force to occupy parts of Ukraine. That will never happen.

The UK’s “intelligence and security” orgs usually act as puppets of Israel, the Jewish-dominated USA, and so on.

Now that is interesting.

[“Opposition politician slams Macron for selling out French nuclear independence to US “[Emmanuel] Macron is pushing to put our nuclear deterrent in the hands of NATO and the United States!” French Patriots party leader Florian Philippot blasted on X, slamming the president’s decision to sync nuclear policies with London.

He must be removed as soon as possible!” insisted Philippot.“]

Macron is a Jewish-lobby, Israel-lobby, NWO/ZOG puppet.

The Gaullist force de frappe was the right idea— enough to deter hostile attack during the Cold War, but independent of the USA, and also not likely to cause a nuclear war. Defensive.

I almost (but not quite) feel sorry for Penny Mordaunt. After a non-“silver spoon” childhood and youth, and some years in public relations, she became an MP at 37 (in 2010), a minister in 2015, and a Cabinet minister by 2017. By 2022, she was regarded as a potential Conservative Party leader and so, at the time, Prime Minister.

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

Penny Mordaunt’s two Con leadership bids ran quickly into the sand. She then lost, in 2024, her Commons seat (fairly narrowly, and because Reform UK ate into the Con vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s).

Now, Penny Mordaunt apparently makes an income as part-time “consultant” to British-American Tobacco, though it is hard to see what value, if any, she might bring to such a role.

Penny Mordaunt (whom, as a politician, I do not entirely dislike) is now politically irrelevant, and still seems to regard the Conservative Party as the main show in town, whereas in reality the Con Party is on its last legs. The polling says it all: Starmer-Labour is a dead party walking, in much of the country, but that does not mean that the Conservative Party will bounce back as in the past. Look at the opinion polling. The Con Party is on 16%, 17%, somewhere around there, with no sign of increasing its support.

Politically, and at only 52, Penny Mordaunt is finished, in my opinion. She has no Commons seat, and is unlikely to win back her former seat (though I concede that that might just be possible in a 3-way Labour-Reform-Con contest in —?— 2029 at Portsmouth North). I doubt that she would join Reform under any circumstances (and, to give her her due, I think that she is driven, partly, by principle as well as by expediency— but after her near-win in 2024, she would surely be “nailed on” if standing again but under the Reform banner).

Penny Mordaunt looks defeated on that video.

“Many are called but few are chosen” applies to politics as much as other things.

Israel-puppet Senator Lindsey Graham should now check his wallet…

Ecce Zelensky’s idea of how to enforce conscription into his failing armies.

Reminiscences: temps perdu, and thoughts about mortality

When one is well over 60, as I now am (68; b. 1956), thoughts may naturally turn to mortality, life and death, and questions larger than the everyday concerns of life. That may be so when one notices that many people one has known in life are now defunct.

Some of the people I have known, or have merely met briefly or peripherally in the past, are still alive; many, however, are not. Some of those who are no longer alive have died from various natural causes (and are too numerous to list), others expired from unnatural causes (such as a Nigerian princess I knew, shot dead in Lagos in the late 1990s) or from causes or reasons unknown (such as the ex-husband of a lady I knew in the 1980s, which ex-husband apparently drowned in the Thames at London). A few, friends of friends rather than people I knew well, sadly died via suicide many years ago.

These thoughts came again to mind yesterday when I noticed information online to the effect that a former American colleague, a major-league American lawyer called Tim Scrantom, died some time ago, in 2021, apparently of a brain tumour. He was diagnosed in April 2021, and died 6 months later.

[Tim Scrantom, 1956-2025]

Tim Scrantom was a couple of months younger than me, a fact which sharpens my reminiscence.

I met Scrantom after a headhunter in New York suggested to him and his two main colleagues, in 2001, that I might suit his niche law firm (based in Charleston, South Carolina). I was telephoned in Turkey, where I was then resident, and we arranged to meet in London at one of my usual haunts, the Churchill Bar at the Hotel Russell in Russell Square.

I drove back to England via Greece, Bulgaria, Romania (the latter two then not EU states, and very ramshackle), Hungary (excellent country), Austria, Germany (calling in at Berchtesgaden), Luxembourg, and Belgium.

The upshot was that Scrantom and I became colleagues, he based mostly at Charleston (the office was at East Bay Street, in the conservation zone of the city), I mostly in London, though we both visited various offshore jurisdictions, once or twice in tandem, as when we went to Liechtenstein one day (well, I did; Scrantom had left his passport at the Mayfair Hotel, and only discovered that fact when we met at Heathrow, prior to flying to Zurich…).

Scrantom was a genial host. He invited my wife and me to dinner in Charleston in August or early September 2001 and, on a later solo visit, I visited his home on Sullivan’s Island, by Charleston, where he lived with his then wife (I believe they divorced later) and young daughter.

Scrantom, though a graduate from American law schools, an attorney in several states, and a professor of law as well, was also a barrister of Gray’s Inn in London. I was a barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, though many years later (2016) wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred at the instigation of a pack of malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionists.

Scrantom, incidentally, was a modest fellow, very much a “Southern gentleman”, born in Georgia and from a wealthy background. I liked him. I never knew (until yesterday) about some of his earlier adventures, such as sailing around the Bahamas on his yacht, exploring the Himalayas, or visiting edgy places in Cambodia and elsewhere in South-East Asia, though he did tell me that he knew several of the people portrayed in the famous book and film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_in_the_Garden_of_Good_and_Evil_(film)], the events of which occurred in Savannah, Georgia, where Scrantom’s family members were largely based.

In September 2001, I was with Scrantom in a taxi in the Strand, London, when his wife called to say that New York was under attack. We interrupted our journey (to the Berkeley Square area of Mayfair) to get out at a Dixons store to look at the TV screens.

I well remember him later fuming that Iraq “must have” been behind the attack on the World Trade Center (that was the neo-con and American msm line at the time, of course) and that “Israel has the right idea” (i.e. bomb the hell out…). Well, he was wrong, of course, and we disagreed about that. Like most Americans, and despite his intelligence and education, he was influenced by the pro-Israel propaganda so pervasive in the msm in the USA (though his main colleague, Ron, a hard-driving former USAF officer, was more alive to the menace of Jew-Zionism, and he was, as one might expect, also pro-USA to the hilt).

Scrantom, even when I knew him, was a multimillionaire, and later become a major player in the field of “litigation insurance”, once called “champerty” and historically not lawful in most jurisdictions (including England): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champerty_and_maintenance; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champerty_and_maintenance#England_and_Wales. Now, it is considered more acceptable.

I do not much like the concept (and Jew-Zionists in England use “litigation insurance” to pursue pro-Israel “lawfare”), so maybe it is just as well that our professional connection was mainly severed in 2002, when I decided to return to the ordinary practising Bar in England. I then moved to a large country house in Cornwall, and was based professionally at Exeter.

As already mentioned, I liked Tim (though not his then wife, to be frank; I only met her once), though I should say that he and his two main colleagues had no idea at all about how to run a law firm.

Life is short, something few if any really understand when in their twenties or thirties. We all have to try to accomplish something, not in a careerist sense, but for the future of the Earth, while in any particular incarnation.

That idiot, a (?) 30-something wannabee or occasional scribbler, tweeted something about me quite a while ago, I think in 2023 or 2024. He seems to be very pro-Jew-Zionist and pro-Israel, and his msm scribblings (it seems as part of teams, not sole bylines) were 6-11 years ago. A few more recent scribblings have been for online outlets (of which few have ever heard). https://muckrack.com/colin-cortbus/articles.

Apparently, that Cortbus person was once a UKIP activist (when a student, about 12-14 years ago).

I notice that that individual has only about 2,500 Twitter/X followers. When a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018, I had 3,000 followers (and that had been artificially lowered); by now I would have had tens of thousands of Twitter followers. Ah well…so much for “free speech” in this country…

Incidentally, I was unaware about that event in Zagreb. Looks as though parts of Europe are waking up.

…but look at that dishonest little Pakistani, Sajid Javid. Wrong once again. Remember his denial of the link between the migration invasion of tens of millions into the UK, and housing shortages?

Make that nearer to 10-15M, though…(plus births).

Starmer-stein is a total idiot. No idea about how to run the UK. Clueless. I predicted it, about 3-4 years ago, on the blog.

Scotland is even worse than England. Some of the idiots up there even claim to welcome being invaded by backward hordes!

The Labour Party in Scotland is actually headed by a Pakistani; so was (how ludicrous can you get?) the Scottish “National” Party, until recently.

As for that rapist, he will be out in 5-6 months. Shocking. The woman victim must be devastated and feel totally unprotected and unavenged.

Economic sanctions rarely work. When I was in Rhodesia in 1977, the roads outside the capital, Salisbury (now Harare) were empty, but that was not because of sanctions (fuel rationing only lasted 1965-1971). New cars were often seen in the city, though none were of British manufacture; French, I think Spanish, or other. Sanctions had limited effect— things such as books, Scotch whisky etc. Nothing really major. Tobacco, oranges, chrome etc were still exported (often under false flags).

Compare Putin to pathetic and dishonest Starmer-stein, or that truly ridiculous “diversity hire”, Lammy.

Not so much “wild geese” as Muscovy ducks…(only joking).

Unsurprising. Why should the peoples of Central and Western Europe (and USA) risk nuclear war for the sake of Zelensky’s brutal, shambolic, and very corrupt cabal? Most Ukrainian men are themselves trying to avoid serving in the Kiev-regime forces.

[“Israeli publication Haaretz reported that the US military used 93 THAAD interceptors in 11 days to defend Israel, revising previous cost estimates from $800 million to about $1.2 billion. With an annual production rate of about 36-48 THAAD interceptors, the US used up nearly two years’ worth of the missiles during the war.“]

Horrible. I hope they suffer for committing such crimes against the natural world. Barbarians.

Strange to think that, when I drove to the end of the almost-empty Karpas Peninsula in Northern Cyprus in early 2000, I was only 60 miles from Latakia in Syria. 60 miles, but a different world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpas_Peninsula.

[“Few people noticed why exactly Israel launched a war against Iran on June 13. Here are three hidden reasons: 1. Just days earlier, the country was rocked by its largest pedophile scandal in history—one involving several high-ranking politicians. 2. Before the war, Iran hacked three terabytes of files from Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, which is known for collecting compromising information on global politicians. 3. Israeli PM Netanyahu risked losing power due to the unpopular proposal to draft ultra-Orthodox Jews into the Israeli military“]

I wonder what there is in that about Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Dershowitz, Clinton, Trump etc.

If MOSSAD or AMAN had that stuff, does the SVR now also have it, or some of it? About Trump, for example?

“The Consolation of Philosophy”?

Allison Pearson is a remarkably stupid woman.

I presume that Lewis is hiding out in Israel. He has or had a flat in Eilat, a fact that he concealed from the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal when he was found guilty on several charges in 2018. Indeed, his Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis should have his fine greatly reduced because Lewis’s only assets were his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.

Ecce the supposed “top defamation lawyer”!

Update re. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— Questions Are Raised…
Self-Publicizing Supposed “Top Lawyer” Mark Lewis: Full Transcript of Disciplinary Hearing Judgment Now Released by Tribunal

Mark Lewis is little better than a confidence trickster.

Incidentally, Lewis was an abusive husband when married briefly (one year) to the Z-list “celebrity” and, briefly, Sky News newsreader, Caroline Feraday (amusingly, best-known for having been sacked by text message by BBC local radio about 15 years ago).

Not that I care at all about Lewis’s abusive behaviour to his then wife, who now lives in a “nowheresville” in the outer regions of Los Angeles (see my blog posts).

The Feraday woman joined with Lewis in attacking me viciously on Twitter (about my opposition to the Jewish fake WW2 “reparations” scam); in fact she initiated the attacks, with which Lewis then joined in. Until then (many years ago, about 2012 or so), I had never heard of the bastard, or her.

Mark Lewis was (maybe still is) a “patron” of that evil and squalid organization, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, working with its main characters, such as Gideon Falter (a proven liar and, arguably, perjurer) and the Jew-Zionist Israel fanatic, posing as “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”, whom we can call “Slitherman”.

An example below of Lewis’s abusive social media activity, which (after several years) got him into trouble (though not via me— unlike the Jew-Zionist troublemakers, I do not waste time making endless complaints to police etc):

(in fact, in 2018, it was revealed that Lewis constantly abused people on Twitter etc, even a young Jewish boy; Lewis blamed his medications for his abusive behaviour…).

Ecce Allison Pearson’s solicitor (apparently)…

My own Twitter account, as explained, was deleted by Twitter itself in 2018 at the instigation of effectively the same pack of Jews, while Caroline Feraday deleted her original Twitter account a year or two ago, mainly because it was too embarrassing for her in various ways. She has another Twitter/X account now (with only 115 “followers”, despite she herself following 166 Twitter/X accounts).

Caroline Feraday’s now-deleted Twitter account had, at one time, tens of thousands of “followers”, all fake, all bought by her and by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who himself bought nearly 80,000 in an attempt to seem important, popular etc. Legal business news outlets even commented, cautiously, about the dishonest fakery of Lewis and his then wife.

Caroline Feraday now works for local public radio station KCLU in Ventura County, California, a subsidized radio station (National Public Radio network) with (putting it jokingly) about half a dozen listeners.

A few years ago, Caroline Feraday was publicly begging on GoFundMe, in an attempt to raise a mere USD $5,000. Sic transit gloria mundi…(and “celebrity”)…

From last month; I missed that one.

“Cor, ‘ee’s well ‘ard!” (when arresting a woman of 83 doing basically nothing; the police are, shall we say, “not so hard” when confronting, if they ever do, predators and scavengers, such as those usually found living in caravans…).

Pathetic.

Ha. Soon “we shall all be (called) terrorists”…

I have seen the odd thing over the years from Rod Liddle with which I have agreed; quite a lot with which I disagreed. Also, my impression (I have never met him) is that he is rather an unpleasant person.

I could suggest something, but would not want some Jew-Zionist troublemaker making yet another contrived complaint to the police “service” about me.

The Israeli Jews are so brave, when firing at unarmed and defenceless civilians…

Farage does not even bother to conceal the fact that he is a puppet of Israel and the Jewish lobby.

I still hope that Reform UK will destroy the main System parties, though; once Reform fails in its turn, a real social-national movement can find favour with the British people.

Imagine asking that dim n** a serious legal question! He was only a “diversity-hire” gopher for a couple of years prior to his political career(ism).

Lammy is truly an embarrassment, but then so is this entire Labour Friends of Israel government headed by Starmer-stein.

…and anyone who has dealt with Zionist Jews…[REDACTED by reason of the repression of free speech in the UK]…

[“Iran’s parliament initiates closure of Strait of Hormuz; Medvedev: Several countries ready to give Tehran A-bombs Dmitry MEDVEDEV: The Americans have not achieved anything yet. The critical infrastructure of the Iranian nuclear cycle, apparently, has not been damaged or has been damaged only slightly. The enrichment of nuclear materials, and now we can directly say – and the future production of nuclear weapons, will continue Israel continues to be the target of Iranian strikes, explosions are heard, people are panicking. The United States is drawn into a new conflict with the prospect of having to lead a ground operation. The Iranian political regime has been preserved and with a high degree of probability has been strengthened…“]

One thing is for sure: the American bombing of the nuclear bases or laboratories makes no immediate difference to the current Iran-Israel war, which is being fought at long-range using conventional weapons— missiles with high-explosive warheads, drones and, on the Israeli side, bombers and fighter-bombers. In the short-term, therefore, the matter will be decided by the side that can keep on delivering warheads onto significant targets.

There must be some way for Russia to eliminate that troublesome Khazar.

Talking point

Whatever the facts re. damage to those bases may be in reality, the overriding fact is that the actual war Iran-Israel will continue regardless.

The Israeli Jews (?) are out of control. Gaza is the obvious, but not the only, example.

If Iranian missile launches continue, will the Israelis, perhaps starting to run out of ground-to-air missiles, then prioritize the defence of Tel Aviv etc, moving missiles to those areas from perceivedly less important places? Hard to say at present.

“They” just hate it when the truth is expressed about their malign influence over UK/US (etc) politics.

New?

Very sonorous.

As said, that may or may not be true, but in any event will not change the basic dynamics of the Iran-Israel war that Israel, after all, started recently. All that matters is how many missiles each side has.

If Netanyahu was, for once, telling the truth when saying a day or two ago that Iran still has 27,000 missiles (some sources give figures as low as 2,000), many too advanced to be easily intercepted, and if it is also true (as many claim) that Israel is running out of anti-missile missiles, then those claimed 27,000 Iranian weapons will be able to reduce Tel Aviv and other urban areas in Israel/Occupied Palestine to rubble, akin to the devastation which the Israelis have wrought in Gaza.

Ah. Another “volunteer” is escorted to his transport, waiting to take him to the frontline killing fields. More unofficial reportage from the supposedly free and democratic Ukraine of Zelensky’s Kiev regime, in which brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship free speech is banned, dissent is banned, opposition political parties are banned, trade unions are banned, and escape from the country is banned.

The potential “terror” threat from them is of little importance, in reality. The real danger to our society is the 1,000 migrant-invaders. Both the kind of people they are and the sheer numbers of them. How can this society even survive the influx of a thousand of the bastards every single day (on average)? It cannot. Add to that thousand the other ~5,000 that came in on the same day, but superficially legally…and then add in the births to non-Europeans already here…

Already we see the UK slowly falling to pieces. What do you imagine it will be like by 2030? What about 2040?

Absolutely incredible. Meanwhile, the black “security guard” actually has his hands in his pockets!

“Smersh never sleeps“…well, only the occasional little cat-nap…

Israel is doomed whatever.

[“Exactly why I tackle him every time. Why anyone would listen to a so-called foreign policy expert who backed Liz Truss and accidentally employed a Chinese spy I do not know.

Nothing about him stacks up, he’s made catastrophic choices that cost so many jobs they were devoted to, he’s a raving narcissist, mad views, shifts position on everything as and when and brings the Tory Party in to disrepute.

Tugendhat is a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”, full of nonsense, and more interested in Israel and the Jewish lobby than in the needs of the British people.

Diary Blog, 22 June 2025, including thoughts about London, and about the “entitled” attitude of the Americans

London. England. UK.

“All these things happened to me in London today I paid nearly £30 for a train ticket to take me into London from a town just 30 miles away —on a Saturday

The first person I sat next to, I think from India, decided to have a FaceTime conversation with his friend on speakerphone so we all had to listen to it

The train was late by 40 minutes due to unexplained “signalling issues”. It was also filthy.

I paid nearly £8 for a pint

I offered a woman my seat on the tube without realising she was with a man who intervened and said “no man”. He was not from the UK. I think he took my gesture as an insult.

I was asked for money by homeless people 3 times in one day

I noticed several people who are paid to give information to taxpayers and tourists over the tannoy on the London Tube cannot speak English properly

A cabbie told me “London is dead most nights”, unless you are the global high net worth set or top 1%

Restaurants are visibly struggling and often hideously overpriced

I had dinner in a neighbourhood where the average rent is £3,663 per month while half of all local social housing has gone to people who were not even born in the UK

I was constantly aware I should not get my phone out on the street as 80,000 were stolen last year

I also read on the way back while checking that stat that there were 90,000 shoplifting offences in London last year, up 54%

My train back —delayed—was suddenly changed at the last minute with all passengers on board.

They were told it would no longer be stopping at all stops.

I bought a tin of instant coffee on the way home and it had a security tag on it

Maybe I’m in a bad mood and perhaps it’s amusing to think how somebody of my political outlook is “triggered” but to me there is a deeper point here

London is over —it’s so over

It’s a city in visible decline with deteriorating standards and no real sense of identity or belonging

Going in and out of our capital city is a truly miserable experience

Infrastructure is falling apart, as is the social contract

I’ve been coming in and out of London since 1981

I simply cannot remember a time when it’s been this visibly dire and when so many things just do not work as they should”

[Matt Goodwin]

That rather echoes a blog post I published almost exactly three years ago:

Diary Blog, 30 June 2022, including impressions of a trip to dystopian London

Of course, the migrant-invaders see nothing the matter with London as it now is, because where they come from is worse yet. They are from Bombay and Bangalore, the slums of teeming South Asian and East Asian cities, the ramshackle neighbourhoods of Lagos or Accra, or wherever.

Look at London’s Mayor, Sadiq Khan, a Muslim apostate carpetbagger in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist lobby. He himself is part of the problem, but only part.

I am very glad that I have not lived in London since 1998 (though I did live in Higher Denham, just outside London, for 6 months in 2001-2002, and worked at that time as international lawyer in London, both at Gray’s Inn, where I was leaseholder of a set of chambers, and just off Berkeley Square in Mayfair).

Ironically, my later disbarment (2016) was pronounced (by a superannuated former circuit judge chairing a 5-member panel) in the very same building where I had sat as notional “Head of Chambers” (it was actually an offshore set-up dealing with Russia, former Soviet Union, Caribbean, Brazil etc, not ordinary English Bar work), and leaseholder.

The Slide of the English Bar and UK Society Continues and Accelerates

If I were to live in London today, I should probably have my Rolex watches stolen. In fact, I no longer have them anyway (sold many years ago for reasons of financial pressure, i.e. I needed the money!).

Even were I to hit the Euromillions lottery, and so be able to live in a Nash terrace at Regent’s Park, I doubt that I should bother.

“…Either way, suddenly alone in the centre of a city I no longer recognised, I couldn’t have felt more vulnerable.

I resolved to find a police officer, but despite walking up and down some of London’s busiest central areas – down Jermyn Street, along Piccadilly and over to Leicester Square – I saw none.

West End Central police station, which would have been a ten-minute walk away, had closed permanently in 2021 after being sold to developers for a reported £50 million. 

No wonder opportunistic crimes like these are on the rise when bobbies have all but abandoned their beats.

Giving up, I headed home, walking the three miles to my flat in Kensington because I had no cards with which to pay for a bus or taxi. 

Dazed and shattered, and with the pain in my leg only growing, I took a breather in Hyde Park to register the crime on my phone using the Met’s online form.

The next day I received a call to say that officers from Hammersmith police station would come to take a statement from me at 8am the following morning. 

But at the time they were due to arrive, they rang to say they couldn’t come because they couldn’t find an available police car.

Really? The station is barely a half-hour walk away. Disappointed, I had to make do with discussing it over the phone with the officer instead. Such muggings were, he said, ‘rife’ in the capital at the moment.

He asked if I wanted to take it any further and, honestly, I didn’t. The pointlessness of reporting a crime so long after the event is infuriating – it’s a tick-box exercise, nothing more. 

The chances of the police catching a gang with my vague description of their clothes and ethnicity must be almost nil.

Ultimately, pursuing a report would mean me enduring a bureaucratic hurdle – filling in more forms online, having more phone calls. And for what?

All of this could have been avoided if there were more police on our streets, which would serve as a deterrent to these thugs. It’s futile having a police force at all in London if they can’t adequately react to something like this.

Actually, 90% or more of “all this” could also be avoided if London were a white English city…

Of course, what will happen is that the existing System parties will falter and fail, but Reform UK itself will become a System party in the end, if it looks like taking power. You can already see signs of that— the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby influence, the non-European candidates etc.

All the same, this is a great thing. The Overton Window is shifting, visibly. After Reform, there may emerge, may have to emerge, a genuinely social-national party or movement. However, the “Parliamentary road” is a limited option, because the English/British will soon be a minority in the UK.

As I said 9 years ago, a squawking parrot in a golden cage, guarded by a phalanx of Zionist Jews…

Trump had the chance to take American in a new and better, and quasi-isolationist, direction. Now, the Deep State, largely under Jew/Zionist/Israeli control, has made Trump just the latest figurehead puppet for “intervention”, following Bush snr, Clinton, Bush jnr, “ex-tra-ord-in-ary” Obama (the one-time “great white black mixed-race hope”), and Biden.

I was also well ahead of Matt Goodwin on that…

White Flight in a Small Country

Will Russia strike Israel? If so, where? Dimona? Ben-Gurion Airport? I doubt that that will happen, but it just might, now that the USA dog has been wagged (again) by the Jewish tail.

She forgot to add that Tugendhat is himself quarter-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tugendhat#Early_life_and_education; also, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel.

The United States, even more than Israel, has an entitled “I can bomb you but don’t you bomb me” attitude. I well recall the scalded reaction in the USA when the World Trade Center attack happened in 2001. That only happened to other people (who, many Americans think, are scarcely people at all)…

I think that that attitude goes back at least to the Second World War, when the U.S. bombing campaign in Europe laid waste huge areas not only of Germany but of several other countries as well. At that time, there was no danger at all of any country retaliating against the U.S. mainland or its population. A feeling of invulnerability.

Farage is almost pathologically pro-Jewish lobby, and pro-Israel. That is my biggest black mark for Reform UK, and supports the theory that Reform is being lined-up to take over when the main System parties finally fall, which cannot be far off.

Ecce the Nigerian woman who will soon (next general election) be “leader” of a Conservative Party with as few as 10 MPs. I imagine, though, that her MPs will dump her by the end of this year.

The premium for being slavishly pro-Israel is not high when the leaders of “Labour” and Reform UK, maybe the LibDems too, are no different.

If so, it might have been better to say that the base was totally wiped out!

Were I the Iranian decision-maker, I should make that airport a really major priority target, along with the Dimona nuclear base. After that, central Tel Aviv.

[“The takeoff locations of the aircraft involved in the attack on nuclear facilities have been identified. The US must expect a regrettable reaction that exceeds its calculations. Having several US bases in the region is not a strength, but a vulnerability. Attacks on Israel will continue.”]

Hotels much the same. I was due to speak back in 1978 at the Clarendon Court Hotel, Little Venice. Jews connected with the pathetic Searchlight mag, now defunct, contacted the hotel management (the same kind of malicious harassment now undertaken by the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” cabal). As a result, the Clarendon cancelled, and I had to pay out for a coach to bus people who arrived there to my new venue, a large room with a bar over a pub somewhere near the river, not far from Dolphin Square.

As to the Clarendon Court Hotel, which had once been a fairly good place (foreign Test cricket teams playing at quite-nearby Lord’s would stay there in the 1970s), the last time I saw it, around 1990 or so, it was full of…yes… “asylum-seekers”, East European Gypsies etc. Yes, that’s right…35 years ago! That crap did not start in 2024, or 2010, or even 1997.

Incidentally, the Clarendon once had an amusing notice outside, relating to its spa studio: “The Body Feminine— Entrance at Rear“!

Ah. Just looked it up. The building has evidently been extensively remodelled, and is selling as multi-million-pound apartments, like the rest of London (even the old SIS/MI6 building, Century House, at 100 Westminster Bridge Road, near Lambeth North underground, is now “luxury” apartments).

I also just saw this 1992 report about that hotel: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/231279.stm: the hotel was forced to pay £6,000 apiece —maybe £20,000 each in 2025 money— to some bloody Afghans and others “forced to endure cockroaches” (etc) there… Cockroaches. Well, that would certainly never have happened back in Afghanistan…

You’re also displaying Islamophobia whilst constantly bleating about anti-semitism. I’m no leftie, I was a Tory until I had enough of the crazy far-right lean and a succession of appalling leaders.

Ha. Brava!

I had thought that lady tweeter must be at least partly-Jewish. Seems that I was probably mistaken in thinking so.

She is talking, inter alia, about the kind of aggressive and malicious Zionist Jews prominent on Twitter etc, such as those connected with the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, Jews such as Gideon Falter, “Slitherman”, and “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, among other liars.

There I do disagree. The “British” Jews who are those, or most of those, being repatriated, are probably hard-core Zionists anyway. I have already blogged that, if they love Israel so much, let them hunker down with a pack of matzo biscuits, an Uzi, and a Desert Eagle, and fight. Why should they be rescued at all? If they are going to be, why should the British taxpayers subsidize them? Most probably have plenty of money, too.

Horrific, and on a Biblical scale. The (Israeli) Jews have done that, and others, in the USA, UK, France etc, support what the Israeli government has done and what it continues to do.

Lewis poses, increasingly without credibility, as an effective solicitor, but he has been making false accusations to police etc for *at least* 13 years: see

Update re. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— Questions Are Raised…

Others of the same type, such as Simon Myerson (Jew barrister who had to be removed as part-time judge because of his hate-filled tweets etc), Daily Star scribbler Adam Cailler, and others, had their sworn testimony disbelieved by a senior judge at Wilson’s successful libel trial. All members or supporters of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and all liars and quite possibly perjurers.

Incidentally, the sworn testimony of the “CAA” Chairman, Gideon Falter, was also disbelieved by another judge and at another trial, years ago, the successful appeal of Foreign Office diplomat Rowan Laxton.

I have had, as many readers will know, my own problems over the past 12 years and arising from lying accusations made by Lewis, “Slitherman”, and some old Jewish “CAA” crones from North London.

No wonder one of the Ten Commandments brought down by Moses was “Thou shalt not bear false witness“— it is what “they” do.

Israel, the leech-state…

Mostly Jews, many of them with dual nationality. They support Israel fanatically, in many/most cases. They made the bed, so let them lie on it…

Whatever happens in the next months, in the long term Israel is doomed.

This is a modern-day version of Old Testament ethnic cleansing. Look at the religion of the Jews; several of their religious festivals refer to military victories, execution of “antisemitic” rulers or advisers etc.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism#Jewish_holidays

The Gaza quasi-genocide has exposed the Israeli Jews not only for what they have done but for what they are, at least as a collective.

I prefer peace to war, but just as there are, in ordinary life, some individual people, lunatics, psychopaths etc, who will not stop, and cannot be stopped, not by ordinary peaceful means, so there are some states which just go too far…

Most mainstream politicians in the USA, UK, France etc are in the pocket of Jewish-Zionist or directly Israeli orgs. Look at Starmer-stein’s horrible yet pathetic UK government— almost entirely composed of Labour Friends of Israel members. Starmer. Rachel Reeves. Yvette Cooper. Liz Kendall. Dozens of others.

The same is true of most of the mainstream media.

Cleverly’s suit is not as striking (neither is it as good or as well-made) as the off-white/cream suit I had made at Sam’s Tailor in Hong Kong in 2006. Perhaps not a good choice, though, for the UK.

Russia or, rather, the Russian people, will eventually, in about 1,500 years, become the leading edge of the world, just as the Germanic/Anglo-American element now is. That may be why Russia cannot be successfully invaded from west or east (as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler). The double-headed eagle looks both east and west at the same time.

Russia is not really either European or Asian, but sui generis.

There you are. That is the face of the UK armed forces in 2025. “Equality”, “diversity”, “best practice” in admin etc. Useless, in short.

Also, someone cannot spell (it’s “practices” in this case, not “practises“, unless, as a kind of American colony, we should all be writing in American English).

Still, when many “journalists” cannot spell, or write decently, why should some M.O.D. bod be any better?

I cannot know, but do suspect, that similar situations exist in the Army and Navy, and also in SIS/MI6 and MI5 (and, of course, in the police and CPS).

I cannot get too worked up about the Brize Norton attack, because for me the invasion of the UK is happening in small boats across the Channel, via “legal” immigration, and via births. I do not take “Britain’s defensive capability” against the (non-existent) “Russian threat” seriously, not in the slightest. Russia is only bristling because the UK is taking pointless and self-harming measures against Russia in the first place. We should be in loose alliance with Russia.

Having said that, it is clear that serious attackers, such as Spetsnaz commandos, would have no difficulty causing absolute havoc on such bases, should they ever be tasked with doing so.

The RAF Regiment usually defends RAF bases. What went wrong?

When it does rain after persistent dry periods, we often return our water polluted, which means that river habitats for animals and plants are in serious trouble.”

Of course, the increase in population by reason of mass immigration is largely the cause. 56M when I was born (1956), and perhaps (no-one really knows) 70M today.

All this project has to offer you is hyper-individualism, endless choice, and sexual narcissism, as symbolised by the rise of Only Fans, while all the guardrails that once gave us structure, meaning, security and a genuine sense of belonging collapse all around us.

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

“MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.

Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”

[Daily Mail]

Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.

Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

More Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/dozens-killed-in-gaza-waiting-for-food-trucks-says-health-ministry

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.

At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.

Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.

The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

[Guardian]

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

“The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.

As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.

I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.“

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

“Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?

Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.

What are swifts and why are they in trouble?

The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.

The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.

What are the prospects for swifts?

Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.

A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.

Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

Well, we shall soon know.

Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

(make that “40 years on…”)

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]

Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.

However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.

So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.

Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.

In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President.

Ah…

No comment necessary.

He says it with a straight face. Do “they” ever tell the truth?

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.

Stray thought

Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…

I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?

The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).

Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

I think that, if a particular people has been expelled from dozens, indeed hundreds, of states and territories over the centuries, it is legitimate to ask why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews.

[“Gideon Lifi, Haaretz journalist:

Everything is paralyzed. Everything is at a standstill. The economy is at a standstill, you can’t live like this. I don’t think Israeli society will be able to tolerate this situation for long.

We feel safe in public shelters, but not everyone has access to these shelters. There are many people who have no shelter from danger.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…

So many “journalists” are just System-dependent scribblers and talking heads. Kevin Maguire is one of the worst, with his unthinking “Labour” tribalism, and his fake pseudo-socialism. A total fake, in fact, and one who, with his affluent wife (a novelist), has an income in the hundreds of thousands, a house in “leafy Richmond” (SW London), and at least one second home (in Devon or Cornwall); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Maguire_(journalist)

Sooner or later, the whole society will fracture; in fact, you can see the early signs of that all around.

I thought that MOSSAD’s HQ was somewhere outside Tel Aviv, not in a built-up area; maybe I was mistaken.

Were I in the Iranian leadership, I should be dispersing the scientists and technicians across Iran, away from likely targets, so that they can regroup later, after any such powerful attack(s).

Jess Phillips, an ugly (in all senses) and moneygrasping woman, cultureless and very stupid. My assessment of her from 6 years ago:

I pair that with the proposed “assisted dying” legislation. Indicators that the value of human life in this country is now set below the bar of ease and convenience.

As a former barrister, it is clear to me, I having seen it all before. Superficially clever little men and (sometimes) women, who pose as very intelligent within their insulated little legal-people bubble, but are usually clueless in the wide world of real events, big pictures, history, and geopolitics.

Owen Jones was always (quite openly) trying to get people to block me on Twitter when I had an account (a pack of malicious Jews conspired to mass-report me and have me expelled in 2018). Owen Jones was not the only one asking people to block me, not converse with me etc; others included the Jew Finkelstein (now yet another absurd member of the House of Lords).

My assessment of Owen Jones (from 2019):

A Brief Word About Owen Jones

Stunning.

Just one more corrupt puppet.

The Israeli Jewish government (like that of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev against Russia), is desperate for the USA to weigh-in against Iran directly. Israel cannot win its war (which, after all, started when Israel attacked Iran without warning) without American help.

Not quite as striking as other recent polls, but still giving Reform UK a near-majority 300 MPs (Lab 188, LibDems 72, SNP 30, Cons 30): https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Note the persistent illogicality and unfairness of FPTP voting, though: Reform UK 27%, but 300 MPs instead of 176, and the Greens 10%, but only 4 MPs instead of 65. Also, Cons 17%, but only 30 MPs instead of 111.

Migration invasion.

Bargaining chips, but Netanyahu seems to care little for Israelis captured by Israel’s enemies. They are some way down the list of his priorities.

Late thoughts

The Jewish/Zionist lobby has enormous influence and (not always obvious) power over the politicians of the USA and UK, among other states. Trump is no exception.

Another point is that, especially in the USA, whenever you see or read about or from a supposed “expert” on geopolitics, especially but not exclusively the Middle East, 9 times out of 10 that talking head or scribbler is Jewish.

Talking point

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/westminster-must-fall

“Dominic Cummings delivered a Pharos Lecture in Oxford this week on why western regimes are in crisis. Here is an edited transcript of his speech:

The old political parties, the old Whitehall institutions, the old media, the old universities, the old courts constitute a political regime. This regime has become cancerous. The cancer has metastasised and the cancer is attacking everything healthy in the country; all the healthy institutions and healthy impulses are the target of Whitehall.

If you imagine our ancestors who built our civilisation over generations, looking at a sample of recent years, what would they see? They’d see the regime fighting to maintain secrecy of the vast cover-up of industrialised mass rape of white English children by Pakistani and Somali gangs over decades, while Whitehall continues to import people from the exact same tribal areas responsible.

The system just rumbles on with its own priorities

In January, Number Ten Downing Street claimed that Elon Musk was spreading conspiracy theories about national cover-ups. This is wrong. I witnessed the attempts at these cover-ups myself when I was in working in Whitehall – including the deliberate attempt by government departments to use courts to block reporting of the entire story.”

[Spectator]

I agree with much of what Cummings says (in the whole published speech); not all.

It is clear that his overall view is correct. The System (System political parties, System civil servants, System legal drones, System mainstream media etc) is indeed now toxic, and is killing both European race and European culture, and not in the UK alone.

Incidentally, I wrote about Cummings himself a few times in the past:

Dominic Cummings, A Government of Dystopia, and Lunacy Posing As Genius
Les Eminences Grises…of Dystopia

Cummings makes a good argument overall, though.

Israel and its population, including its diasporic population, are out of control.

In fact, it seems that Israeli attacks on Iran have already begun.

Talking point

Of course, these days in the UK, people cannot be identified as Roma Gypsies; they must always be referred to as “Romanians”, which is both inaccurate and, also, insulting to real Romanians.

A similar pathology is seen in the reporting about the dreadful Air India crash a couple of days ago. We are told that, among the hundreds of dead in the crash, 53 were “British”. What that means, of course, is that 53 were Indians who had British passports. As the Guardian put it: “British man is sole survivor of Air India plane crash that left more than 260 dead. On Thursday night, Air India confirmed that 241 of those on board had been killed in the crash, with a Briton, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor.”

Another example of this distorting-mirror is when German soldiers, sailors, or airmen of WW2 are referred to, even in large contingents, as “Nazis” (National Socialists). Thus we might read (or hear on the BBC) that such and such number of “Nazi ships” were in a sea battle, or that “Nazi armies” did this or that.

In fact, 8M Germans belonged to the NSDAP in WW2, about a tenth of the population (in 1933, the number was “only” 2M): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#Membership.

Incidentally, you can see “the usual” (((the usual))) influence in that Wikipedia piece, with the article itself headed as “Nazi Party“, not “National Socialist Party” or “NSDAP”. As many readers will know, the term “Nazi” was coined by the disgraceful anti-Hitler scribbler Konrad Heiden (a half-Jew) as an insult, rather like “Stasi“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Heiden.

In the UK and elsewhere, truth is something “not wanted on voyage”. It embarrasses the liars of the msm and political milieu.

Israeli attack on Iran

[“Witkoff warns of deadly Iranian response to Israeli attack!! The American news portal Axios, citing one of the high-ranking US officials:

A White House envoy privately warned top Senate Republicans last week that if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iran could retaliate with heavy casualties.

Witkoff sounded the alarm about what might happen in the future, saying Iran’s response could destroy Israel’s defenses.

The US is concerned that Israel’s air defense system will not be able to cope with a massive Iranian response, including hundreds of missiles.

U.S. intelligence estimates that Iran has 2,000 ballistic missiles with warheads capable of carrying more than 2,000 pounds of explosives. Israel is within range of many of these missiles.

The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) is expected to visit Israel on Saturday for talks with senior political and military officials over Iran.“]

Toxic.

The bastard (Starmer-stein) spoke the truth for once…(only to retract it).

A straw in the wind

I happened to be somewhere not far from my home (coastal southern England) and passed two men talking. As I walked past, I caught a sentence or two of the conversation. One man (about 55, perhaps) was saying to the other that “it will not be long before civil war starts in this country“. Interesting…

Not a traditional type of civil war, at an educated guess. Not a typical “race war” or ethnic conflict either, but more of a multiform civil/racial/social/cultural war, and one with more than two sides; perhaps several, or even many, sides.

I shall be watching events with keen interest.

My own hope is, shall I say, rather different from that of the lady tweeter.

Who would have thought that there would be commercial flights from Rijeka (Croatia) to Tel Aviv in the first place? Rijeka has only about 51,000 inhabitants.

Quite, but Netanyahu’s arrogant sense of entitlement is so typical of “them” (((them)))…

We are Aryans by origin, not Semitic (of either type).

Ursula von der Leyen is an evil sprite. Even taking the money transfers at face value, what an incredible blow to the peoples of the EU states. The EU is in economic doldrums partly, perhaps largely, because of the monies wasted on the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev regime.

It seems that Arab states such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia are actually helping to defend the Jewish state of Israel. After the history of the past 70+ years! Others may disagree with me, but as far as I am concerned, I would never trust an Arab with anything.

When you pair that with the ever-increasing proportion of Muslims in the overall UK population, you do not have to be a strategic genius to perceive the danger.

I have always opposed the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby and bloc in the UK, but the fact remains that we face more than one enemy grouping.

A good point, on the face of it.

Late tweets

Alerts, yes, but how many major targets have been hit?

I imagine that they have parallel but secret command centres too.

Much of that is driven by hate-filled, malicious Jew-Zionists such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. They make malicious complaints to police, official/professional regulators, employers, and others.

The “diversity” continues…

Take a look at the online Crime pages of any newspaper, local or national, e.g. Evening Standard, My London, whatever. Make up your own mind…

Whether it happens today, next month, or in a decade’s time, Israel is doomed.

History moves on, and almost every historical and historic leader has both positive and negative aspects, as do most societies.

Well, those still alive have stopped laughing…

[“BREAKING: We’re on The Telegraph’s homepage tonight—and we’re front-page news in tomorrow’s print edition! FSU General Secretary Lord Young has written to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, raising serious concerns about how the Prevent programme is now treating mainstream conservative views as signs of potential extremism. Yes, you read that correctly. In training materials completed by thousands of public sector workers, the Home Office lists “cultural nationalism” as a form of terrorist ideology. That label now applies to anyone who believes mass immigration is threatening British values or social cohesion. Once flagged, individuals—often just teenagers—can have their names and political views logged in police and safeguarding databases for decades, with devastating consequences for jobs, university places, and future prospects. In his letter, Lord Young calls on Ms Cooper to suspend the use of “cultural nationalism” in Prevent guidance, conduct an urgent audit of the programme, and establish a way for wrongly flagged individuals to discover and delete their data. If you’ve got “very Brexity” Douglas Murray books in your house, a strong interest in national policy, and believe immigration is changing this country, the Home Office now says you’re an extremist. This has got to stop.”]

While I agree with the above, the “Free Speech Union” and Toby Young have damaged their own “brand” by failing to stand up for the free speech rights of those persecuted by the Jew-Zionist lobby and particularly the malicious and dishonest “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. Those conspired against have included me, Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch), Sam Melia etc, as well as better-known people and organizations such as David Icke, Dr. David Miller, and al-Jazeera TV.

I wrote about Prevent and its poundshop police state nonsense years ago:

One Man’s “Extremism” is Another Man’s Struggle for Liberty and Justice

[“The govt’s “Prevent” programme claims being concerned about mass immigration is “terrorist ideology” They want to silence the truth tellers 1 in 100 UK Muslims (40,000) are on MI5’s terror watchlist That’s larger than Hamas’s forces on 7 Oct and ISIS’s army in Iraq in 2014, when it captured Mosul. The number of jihadis on the UK terror watchlist is already half the size of the full-time British Army – and growing. Due to the growth of the Muslim population, it could be larger than the British Army by 2050. Don’t let Prevent deflect attention from the real issue: 90% of the people on the terror watchlist are Muslim. The “far right” is a molehill next to the Islamist mountain. The majority of the British public have justifiable concerns about the importation of vast numbers of culturally incompatible peoples. To malign them – to malign us – in this way is beneath contempt.”]

Time to shut down poundshop Stasi “Prevent”, and to sack its army of wannabee MI5 recruits with degrees from Lancaster University, superannuated ex-cops, ex-army corporals, and other odds and sods. Get them digging canals or stacking shelves.

It seems that YouGov did not offer an “I don’t give a monkey’s flying ****” option.

Just look at them…

[“Posts like this—“Russia’s GDP equals Spain and Portugal’s combined”—may sound punchy and attract clicks but they’re deeply misleading. And it’s precisely this kind of simplistic analysis that’s helped fuel decades of failed Western policy on Russia.

Measured by raw nominal GDP, Russia ranks lower—true. But nominal GDP is influenced by exchange rates, which are volatile and often manipulated or distorted by sanctions, capital controls, or energy prices. The more meaningful metric is Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), which adjusts for local prices and living costs. By PPP, Russia’s GDP in 2024 was over $6.91 trillion, making it the 4th largest economy in the world (IMF). That’s ahead of Japan and Germany. By contrast: — Spain (PPP): $2.74 trillion — Portugal (PPP): $0.51 trillion — Combined: $3.25 trillion Russia’s real economy is more than double the size of Spain + Portugal in purchasing power terms. And that’s just in official figures. And then there’s how GDP is compiled. Western countries like Spain include estimates for drug sales, prostitution, and other illegal activity in their GDP—since Eurostat guidelines permit it. Russia, on the other hand, excludes a massive shadow economy. From informal labour to grey-market services, under-the-table wages, and barter—none of this is properly reflected in official Russian GDP stats. So the picture is skewed. You have one economy padded with estimated sex work and drug dealing, and another where entire sectors—especially in rural and small business life—go uncounted. Tax dodging is practically a sport in vast swathes of Russia. No one is saying Russia is an economic superpower. But it’s also not Spain + Portugal. It’s a globally significant economy with vast resources, strategic industries, and real industrial capacity. Underestimating that is both lazy and dangerous.“]

Quite.

In particular, you cannot judge the state’s military power by its economic level, or by the standards of living of that state’s population. Stalin said, after Hiroshima, “we must have those weapons, even if we have to eat grass“, a statement echoed in reality almost literally by North Korea in recent decades.

Interesting. Naturally, it is often assumed that Jews would not betray the Israeli state, as the only actually Jewish state, but there are precedents, as when Soviet Intelligence ran a number of agents inside Israel, some of which were uncovered and punished.

Can that be true? What about Israel’s nuclear weapons?

Money from EU and UK (and US) taxpayers, huge amounts too, and completely wasted.

If it is true that, in the UK alone, there are 40,000 seriously and possibly actively pro-terror Islamists, imagine what would happen if even 10% of those, 4,000 of the bastards, were to commit such acts simultaneously. Alarming idea.

The Jew-Zionists of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc are a pack of liars and perjurers. They have made innumerable false statements about me to police and others, apparently without ever having been prosecuted for attempted perversion of the course of justice, or even simply wasting police time.

The so-called “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” of the “CAA”, one “Slitherman” (as I call it), has personally made false and unlawful allegations against me in the past. See below for the facts, and the wider picture. Why have the police never prosecuted him? Why is he even now seen on the “almost no-one watches” Talk TV, GB News, Sky TV etc? He was exposed in open court (by the CAA’s own bungling lawyer) as a serial online troll and harasser of (mainly) women. Evil.

Lewis has been involved in trying to “get me” numerous times over the past 13 years, but I am still here, the blog is still being published, while Lewis has suffered quite a few blows of fate in the same period, and I think is now looking down the barrel of bad news.
