Saturday quiz

This week, I scored 7/10, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1, 6, and 7.

Inexorably, the war moves towards total war. The Russian side cannot tolerate forever the continual escalation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The “musicians” are still playing.

Britain’s compensation bill for victims killed or maimed by AstraZeneca‘s Covid jab could theoretically exceed ยฃ1billion, MailOnline can reveal. 

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

Lawyers representing the claimants believe that some of the cases could be worth up to ยฃ20m in compensation, which is roughly 160 times more than the ยฃ120,000 Government support available. They hope to be able to prove that the vaccine was to blame in court.

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

The wallet contained about ยฃ50 in cash, I think also a debit card, a couple of other bits and pieces, and a student railcard in the name of some girl.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She looks and sounds drunk.

The USA (and therefore the world) has a problem— a plainly demented President, and the Vice-President a drunken black/Tamil Indian woman.

There is a myth that as a country we cannot afford our state pensions. And that myth is central to Iain Duncan Smithโ€™s proposals to raise the state pension age to 75.

But there is a problem with the premise of IDSโ€™s bright idea. The reality is that according to the OBR, public spending on the state pension is expected to rise by less than 1 per cent of GDP between 2017-18 and 2022-23.

In the even more distant future, the OBR forecasts that by keeping the current system in place, by the 2060s when those people currently in their twenties are drawing down on a state pension, our country will only be spending around 2 per cent more as a share of our GDP.

No government wishing to be re-elected will ignore the largest voting bloc in the country, therefore there will need to be some form of income support for this group. The cost increase is clearly not beyond the realms of manageability under current forecasts.

The poorest pensioners are the ones who are most reliant on the state pension โ€“ moving the goalposts is a callous response to a rise in poverty among the elderly. Under IDSโ€™s plans, the elderly will have to work longer in an unforgiving job market typified by low wages and zero-hours contracts. Do we really want to condemn a 70-year-old to in-work poverty? Itโ€™s utterly cruel

Serious government policy in the 21st century should focus on how we ensure everyone from cradle-to-grave shares in the wealth of our nation. A universal basic income, a shorter working week, and the maintenance of the triple lock system: these are the policies of tomorrow.

[The Independent]

If implemented, a plan such as that suggested by Iain Duncan Smith, under present circumstances, would mean that people 65-75, i.e. at the age where most people now are receiving State pensions, and who are often managing long-term health problems, would be made subject to the ridiculous and shambolic, yet extremely repressive DWP regime started under Labour after 2005 and then made far harsher by “Dunce” Duncan Smith (his real name is plain “Smith”) after 2010.

I do not understand how Smith has lasted this long politically, being terminally thick, having falsified his CV several times, and having cost the State huge amounts via his half-baked programmes. That is not even taking into account his own outright frauds in respect of his MP expenses. Hundreds of thousands of pounds. I also do not understand how he has survived generally. He must be well-guarded.

That last in fact is a major reason why things are as they are in the UK: instead of MPs and ministers being afraid of the people, the poor British people are afraid of the cruel, corrupt, and freeloading MPs and ministers.

Something has to be done about the state of the UK. That much is becoming obvious to almost everyone. That, however, just begs the question, in a political milieu where the main System parties are very similar in policy terms.

For once, I agree with Ash Sarkar.

She is, in a sense, correct here too, sadly. Except that she wants the UK to become non-white (like her), and I (of course) do not.

The non-European, non-white population is exploding. Their birth rate is far higher than that of (real) British people, and of course there is the continuing migration invasion, not only via small boats crossing the Channel but also via so-called “legal” immigration. All in all, over 700,000 in the past year alone.

All System parties either support or do nothing to stop the invasion of non-whites into the UK. Meanwhile, idiots or malicious grifters of the Ash Sarkar type applaud our upcoming racial and national demise.

The laws re. free speech or, rather, repressing free speech, are now so harsh that I cannot say here what should be done with System political frauds, malicious groups (both Zionist groups and those who can mainly be described as their “useful idiots”), and other enemies of the people. My readers will have to read between the lines.

Ha ha! It seems to work… More would have worked even better.

A “chimp-out”, as the Americans say…

It is more important to eliminate Zionism in the UK, France, and USA (etc) than to oppose it in the Middle East.

[FYI: I have no connection with any existing political party or movement].

Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands.

For me, socialism effectively died in 1989 (I tend not to use the poorly-defined “Left/Right” descriptors). Look at a mild version of socialism, that of the Labour Party in the UK. It veered between socialism and social-democracy in the 1956-1989 period, then chucked out its socialist elements during the 1990s, under Blair.

Look at Labour now. It is very very obvious that Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will do nothing radical to help the poorer part of the society, but will try, so to speak, “to run the workhouses better”, and no more.

Ironically, Labour might have recovered some old-style socialism under Corbyn, had he stayed on, but of course the Jewish lobby finished off Corbyn and anyone supportive of him in Labour. Most of them have been expelled or stamped on hard enough to shut them up.

Labour’s “offer” to the voting public amounts to a possibly more efficient (maybe not even that) version of what the Conservative Party has been doing for 13 years.

Labour is doing well in the opinion polls by default, purely because the “Conservative” misgovernment is so bloody awful.

Putin has more patience than I would have in the same circumstances.

1980s— catapults and rocks. 1990s— rockets akin to large fireworks. 2023— more sophisticated rockets. 2030? 2040? The Israelis must be wondering what might be coming down the track…

Ha ha! “You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time” [Abraham Lincoln].

I wonder what the percentage would be if Jews outside Israel were included in the question?

“They” always love to play the “victim”, even when victimizing others. Not only in the Middle East; in the UK (etc) as well,

Leaving aside the migration-invasion, this is about the gradual censoring of scenes and names in film and TV, and in particular about one film.

In The Dambusters, made in 1955 but set in 1943, the companion dog of the raid commander, Guy Gibson, is called (as he was in real life), “Nigger” (he was a black Labrador), but in recent years the film has been altered so that Nigger is referred to as “Trigger“. In fact, I happened to see a few minutes of the film last week on some channel or other and, indeed (in the subtitles too) “Nigger” had become “Trigger”. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dam_Busters_(film)#Censorship.

Now the poor dog’s grave is going to be disturbed so that a pack of unwanted non-European migrant-invaders will not be offended. What an absolutely pitiful country we have become.

I am scarcely a Trump partisan, but he is the best of the potential candidates in the USA right now, and of course far better than corrupt and demented Biden.

Abolished“? Yes, you could call it that…

The funniest thing was when, in 2012, little William Hague opined on TV news that Assad would be gone within days.

I have found, in past years, that many police personnel are actually completely ignorant of the law, and vastly overestimate their own powers. A very bad combination, especially when Jew-Zionist organizations easily bamboozle the police and even CPS as to both what the law is and what the police etc should do and can do.

People are turning away from much of the propaganda on the msm platforms. In fact, I understand that many younger people (meaning under-35s in this case) rarely watch TV now, and even fewer bother with the news and talking-head shows often earnestly tweeted about on Twitter.

If you took your ideas from the Twitterati, you would think that BBC Question Time, one of the most-watched current affairs shows (perhaps the most-watched), is of moment to the entire UK population whereas, in reality, the usual audience is estimated to be between 1-2 million. Out of maybe 70 million persons in the UK.

The biggest audience for QT was in 2009, when Nick Griffin was on (but then ambushed and “lynched”)— 8.3M viewers. Another sizeable audience, also in 2009, was about the MP expenses cheating scandal— 3.8M viewers. Those two facts show the direction of travel, surely?

All part of a long-term plan to reduce the UK to far lower standards of living, and packed with non-whites as well. I worked that out in the mid/late 1970s, when I was only about 20. People laughed at the idea. Now? Well, they are not laughing at the collapse of the NHS, shortage of housing, low pay etc, but most —still misled by the msm— do not connect the dots. Causation is misunderstood. The blame is placed on “Covid”, on “Putin”, on “Ukraine invasion”, on “climate change”, and so on.

Ukraine (meaning the Kiev regime) is running out of road militarily. Above all, its morale, sky high last summer, seems depressed now, and many recruits have to be forcibly pressed into service.

Soon, it will be impossible to write or speak about anything that does not follow the System narrative in the UK. There have already been dozens of faked-up “terrorist” trials in relation to other, including domestic, groups. Juries now are so supine, they are almost no guarantee of liberty. They just rubberstamp the prosecution.

Oddly enough, the Kiev-regime online and msm propaganda continues to persist with the “Russian soldiers ran away” story even though Russian forces have now taken Bakhmut/Artyomovsk. So who “ran away”? Or “withdrew”, in the more polite term?

Old sins cast long shadows. The Israelis can never cleanse their hands of the blood shed by them in and after (in some cases even before) 1948: ethnic cleansing, mass executions of villagers, theft of houses, apartments and land, and now the attempt to “settle” Jew fanatics from the USA, UK, Australia etc in the remaining Arab areas, displacing the remaining Arab communities

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

The nanny state…again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Might be useful sometime.

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

Oliver Reed— quite a character. Despite the hellraising reputation and lifestyle, he could be quite pleasant and polite. My parents told me that they had met him (would have been in the late 1970s, I think, though maybe early 1980s) when stopping off for a drink at an inn on the Hog’s Back in Surrey, not far from Reed’s large Victorian country house. He was at the bar with a (male) friend, and was interesting and courteous, they said.

The conversation had ended prematurely when the publican whispered to Reed that “she’s outside!“, at which Reed and his friend ran out the back way, behind the bar. A moment later a blazingly-angry woman arrived, and said to the barman “has he been in?“, to which the barman diplomatically said “haven’t seen him“! She then stalked out. This turned out to have been Reed’s then wife, Jacquie.

Yes, Oliver Reed. The sort of character rarely seen then, and never seen now (arguende). Descended from Peter the Great, supposedly, and someone who started a romance with a 16-y-o schoolgirl when he was 42 (they later married, when she was about 21 and he was about 47).

The generality of the public want people to be either saints or sinners, but few people are unalloyedly either. “Blame and praise alike befall, when a dauntless man’s spirit is black and white mixed, like the magpie’s plumage” [Wolfram von Eschenbach, Parzival]

You see that wish of many to perceive people in a very rigid saint/sinner way in almost every political or social (or historical) scenario: the contending forces of the Second World War have to be either “evil” or “good”, despite it being obvious that bad things were done by all major forces contending.

The same is true of contemporary social or political matters in the UK. Those living on State benefits are often seen as either “scroungers” or “fraudsters” (though by some as suffering “victims” of society). Both can be true, even in one individual case, but people only want black and white, not grey.

Likewise, anyone who has served in the Army is now (following the American usage) a “veteran” and, if ever anywhere near a war zone, quite likely a “hero”, a usage that the Sun “newspaper” started in the early 1980s, when anyone who had set foot in the Falklands during the campaign was a “Falklands hero”.

Nurses of course are all seen as good, or even “angels”. Same, more or less, with doctors etc.

There is now no or very little nuance.

Funny. In 1988, when I first went to Poland, driven by a former schoolfriend who had met a Polish girl in London when I very nearly slipped into the Thames and drowned— long story…), he opined, after we had spent some weeks there (I think about 6 weeks, in the end) that maybe poor Poland, then still under socialist control, might one day overtake the UK and France, in the Biblical “the last shall be first” way. At the time, I thought it highly unlikely, but look now…

In fact, my addiction to Google Earth and its Street View has revealed to me in recent years how much Poland has changed since I was there in 1988 and 1989 (I went several times over a couple of years). The roads look better by far than most of the UK ones now, especially the motorways and main highways that now exist. As for Warsaw, completely different.

The above changes must be interesting to my then friend and driver (I did not drive at the time), who married that Polish girl a year or so later, in the Autumn of 1989 (I was the best man, and the wedding was a lavish affair held in the St. Mary Basilica in Krakov, in the main market square).

The Western msm, especially in the USA and UK, is more or less controlled, in its output, by Jews and those working in the Jewish and Israeli interest.

The same is true of, eg, UK governmental and legal systems.

Madness. Escalation of the conflict. Those missiles are not capable of reaching Moscow or Petersburg from Ukrainian territory, but are still able to reach far inside Russia. How long can it be before at least tactical nuclear weapons are used in Ukraine?

At one time, I wondered why the Palestinians in Gaza did not try to replicate the German V-1 technology of the Second World War era (which is almost all now openly available). My conclusion in the end was that the slow maximum speed of the V-1 (about 400 mph) would make it very vulnerable to Israeli jet fighters as well as to ground-to-air defensive missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb.

Basic non-military functions of the state, such as pensions, salary payments etc, are being bankrolled by, ultimately, the taxpayers of Western and Central Europe, and those of North America.

“Free country”? Free speech?

Loose Women ITV star Carol McGiffin was forced to quit after a bizarre radio rant, including claiming the Covid pandemic was a World Health Organisation plot to take over every government.

...original Loose Women panelist Ms McGiffin also accused…mainstream news organisations of conspiring to brainwash the public, causing a mass mental health breakdown, after being ‘bought off by the Government’.

She had been a Loose Women regular from 2000 to 2013, then again from 2018.

But in her radio interview she slated the show, one of ITV’s most popular daytime programmes, hinting that she had been censored by its bosses.

She said: ‘I always look back at when I started working in television and radio as the good old days because they were much less policed, I suppose. Much less restricted and it was a freer place to be.

When I look back at the old Loose Womens I used to do from 2000 all the until I left in 2013, they’re completely different. There is so much offence. People take so much offence at so much and they never used to.'”

[Daily Mail]

I had not previously heard of Carol McGiffin, but that is of no matter.

Note how the Daily Mail scribbler slants the report, so that that woman is presented as rather loony: “bizarre radio rant” etc, while the report describes the often untruthful msm organizations as “reputable“.

Ha. Wes Streeting is a complete puppet of the sinister Jewish-Zionist lobby, which is the main enemy of free speech and freedom of expression in this country. The very malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, and the snoop and strongarm squad “Community Security Trust”, mainly.

The msm in the UK is now packed with those who are enemies of the British people and of white Northern Europe generally. They hate us, they hate our history, they hate our capabilities. It’s us or them. Think about it.

Exactly. Just like the Last Night of the Proms. Now the enemies of the British people even want to trash that island of convivial sanity.

Would have to be a very Draconian law to force most people to “mix” with her!

…and those cretins have a vote, just like you and me. Ridiculous.

Actually, I have to say, having seen pictures and bits of film of yesterday’s proceedings, what struck me was, in part, a feeling that quite a lot of it was rather unaesthetic. The word “vulgarity” came to mind, in fact.

I have seen, of course, parts of the 1953 Coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and that (maybe because it was on black and white film, and/or filmed from a slight distance) gave the impression of a kind of sacred grandeur. That, to my mind, and from what I have seen, was entirely absent yesterday.

Sacred blood“? How far back does that person think the present monarchy goes? Ridiculous.

I have been meaning to do a “Deadhead MPs” piece about Lammy for about 4 years.

Can you imagine that that creature is a Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn (whereas I was expelled in 2016 after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment), is an MP and Shadow Cabinet minister (whereas I live in obscurity and without position or money) and, despite his huge ignorance, is welcome on TV opinion shows, earning about ยฃ200,000 on top of the MP salary and expenses.

Nothing, arguably, shows more clearly the sheer absurdity of where we now are as a country.

If the present Government were not utterly incompetent and completely lacking in credibility, it would have little difficulty batting away the present Labour Party but, as it is, the sheer ineptitude shown for 13 years is a gift to Labour.

From the newspapers

https://inews.co.uk/news/essex-pub-displayed-golliwog-dolls-beer-supplies-2314995?ico=most_popular.

A pub in Essex that had its collection of golliwog dolls defended by Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has shut down after suppliers cut off their beer supply.

[from the i newspaper]

Very typical of our times: the System repressing freedom of expression not only by opposing individuals politically but also by attacking their personal, family, and business life. It happened to Laura Towler, Sam Melia, and Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative. Their personal bank accounts were shut down, not by the State directly, not by the courts, but by the unilateral decision of each individual’s bank. Meaning by malicious individuals in those banks, sitting in positions where they had the executive power to do what they did.

In the same way, one sees on Twitter the Jew-Zionist element very keen to contact the employers, or professional regulators, of anyone tweeting supposedly “antisemitic” tweets. See, for example, my own experience of 2014-2016, and up to the present day: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Reverting to the pub golliwogs story, obviously Heineken and Carlsberg should both be boycotted, but that is mere gesture-politics, really.

This is no trivial story, but goes to the root of what was once, but is no more, a “free society”.

One has to ask, at what point does the repression contra freedom of expression in this society invite direct action against those repressing free speech?

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/most-draconian-assault-free-speech-living-memory-now-law-2313273?ico=most_popular.

The most draconian assault on free speech in living memory is now law.

The Public Order Act was given royal assent and became law yesterday. Today, the Government will activate powers which prevent demonstrators from engaging in all kinds of activities.

[the Act] introduces Serious Disruption Prevention Orders (SDPOs), a kind of protester Asbo, which, if theyโ€™re imposed, can demand the individual report to authorities, or be banned from meeting certain associates, or be blocked from campaigning online.

The House of Lords did what it could to kick back. The original text of the bill allowed the courts to impose an SDPO even if the person had never been convicted of a crime, a truly unthinkable Orwellian proposition. The Lords killed it. They also killed a power to impose a 24/7 GPS monitoring tag on those who received a SDPO.”

[from the i newspaper]

Still, it is easy enough in these times for the political police, or malicious special-interest groups, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, to conspire to get someone convicted on some trumped-up minor charge (the Jew-Zionist fanatics have been doing that for years, as with the Alison Chabloz prosecutions), after which that individual will now perhaps be made subject to one of these “Serious Disruption Prevention Orders”, which in their effect are not really any different to the way in which the Second Chief Directorate of the KGB, prior to about 1989, controlled and regulated minor dissidents in the Soviet Union.

Of course, the i newspaper people will have been all in favour of the repression exercised against the golliwog pub owners, while paying lip service to freedom of expression re. the new Public Order Act.

It is that hypocrisy that prevents so many “free speech” campaigns being effective, as with Toby Young and his “Free Speech Union”, which seems to take the view that free speech is all-important except when Jews complain about the free speech of those opposing Israeli or Jewish interests. The “FSU” never said a word in defence of Alison Chabloz or others; neither has it ever said one word in defence of my rights.

Come to think of it, I do not recall the writer of that opinion piece, Ian Dunt, supporting my free speech rights. In fact, rather the reverse, if I recall aright. One can guess why, of course…

Will Putin respond by launching a tactical nuclear strike on Kiev? An open question.

Idiotic anti-Russia drones are applauding the attack. They seem to have missed the fact that nothing could be better calculated to result in a firming of Russian public sentiment around Putin. Maybe that is why there are already claims that the attack was a Russian “false flag”. Perhaps, but to Russians the Kremlin is almost “sacred” in a sense. Not sure that even the most ruthless Russian politician or military leader would do it.

Looks as though it may be possible for Russia to resettle that part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, once the fighting is over.

The sign (in Russian) on her back says “I love to steal“, i.e. this is some sort of equivalent of putting a relatively minor malefactor in the stocks or at the pillory, as happened in Western Europe hundreds of years ago.

She may have done something as minor as shoplifting. The major thieves in the Ukrainian failed state are those in the Kiev “government”.

In war, truth is the first casualty“. I would certainly not want to be on the receiving end of those “non-existent” Russian missiles!

Interesting, though I only believe in “financial crises” when the you-know-whos start jumping out of Wall Street windows.

So much for African “independence”, “decolonization” etc. In reality, European, American etc financial and commercial organizations control almost everything, and the weak and corrupt African misgovernments do nothing but take bribes and mess up life for the ordinary African. The truth is that, in almost all cases, white colonial rule was better for Africa, for its human and animal inhabitants, in almost every way, if not every way.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12029411/Former-PM-Liz-Truss-refuses-pay-12-000-Cabinet-Office-bill-row-lost-items.html

Liz Truss was last night at the centre of an extraordinary row after the Government demanded she pay more than ยฃ12,000 following the disappearance of items including bathrobes and slippers from her grace-and-favour country home.

The Cabinet Office was told by staff at the house that items such as towelling robes and even slippers vanished during that period, and have asked her to cover the cost.

โ€˜They have also objected to the idea that the taxpayer should foot the bill for what were basically a series of summer parties, and say she owes more than ยฃ12,000 for it.โ€™

In December, The Guardian reported that traces of a suspected Class-A drug were found at Chevening after the parties โ€“ which Ms Truss has said is โ€˜categorically untrueโ€™.

The newspaper said members of staff twice found traces of white powder in a games room, after nights where Ms Truss was known to have entertained guests. The workers claimed they tested the powder with a swab which changes colour when it comes into contact with cocaine, and got a positive result.

Poverty increased from 5.5% to 24.2% in Ukraine in 2022, pushing 7.1 million more people into poverty with the worst impact out of sight in rural villages, according to a recent report by the World Bank. With unemployment unofficially at 36% and inflation hitting 26.6% at the end of 2022, the institutionโ€™s regional country director for eastern Europe, Arup Banerji, had warned that poverty could soar.

[The Guardian].

Even before the war, Ukraine was the poorest state in Europe per capita. 30 years of shambolic, chaotic, corrupt misrule.

Ukraine is not really a state at all at this point. It would already have collapsed, both economically and militarily, without the huge influxes of Western money, arms, ammunition, and other aid.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/30/anthony-seldon-boris-johnson-at-10-biography-interview

Of the 57 people who have held the highest office, Seldon suggests, Johnson was probably unique in that he came to it with โ€œno sense of any fixed position. No religious faith, no political ideologyโ€. His only discernible ambition, Seldon says, was that โ€œlike Roman emperors he wanted monuments in his nameโ€.

โ€œI suppose at least Cummings did believe in Brexit, although ultimately, really, did he?โ€ he says. โ€œFrom everything we heard [for the book] it just seemed Cummings was full of hatred. He probably hates himself; he certainly hates other people. He wants to destroy everything. Johnson in his own way never knew what he stood for, but he shared that contempt for the Tory party, contempt for the cabinet, contempt for the civil service, contempt for the EU, contempt for the army, contempt for business, contempt for intellectuals, contempt for universities.

About a decade ago, Seldon, who is a governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company, began an informal programme with David Cameronโ€™s government that sought to provide for the present incumbents of the highest office some history of No 10 itself and their predecessors there. He staged a series of talks from prominent historians, as well as performances of Shakespeare in the rose garden, in the belief that politicians โ€œmight root themselves in the arts, in the benchmark of what is good and trueโ€. He recalls a performance that the RSC gave for Cameron and guests just before the former resigned as prime minister: โ€œIt was quite a moving occasion in the garden. The killing of Caesar was one of the scenes and I remember watching Cameron with his daughter leaning on his shoulder and Samantha next to him.โ€

When Johnson came to power Seldon hoped the programme might continue โ€“ Johnson did after all have a lucrative contract to write a book about Shakespeare. There was no interest whatsoever. โ€œCovid made things difficult obviously,โ€ he says, โ€œbut we did come in. Johnson never once showed up. As [his school reports showed] he had no deep interest in any classical history, language or literature or Shakespeare. His examples were always for show. At his heart, he is extraordinarily empty. He canโ€™t keep faithful to any idea, any person, any wife.”
