I still see the occasional poor sap wearing a useless facemask; usually an elderly person, and usually at Waitrose, though I did see a little village shop today where almost all of the 6-8 customers (except me, I think) were still wearing the masks; I suppose they still imagine that it is “the law” (if it ever truly was). The other customers were all about 90 years old.
East of the Dnieper river and also, in the south, 50-100+ miles inland from the sea coasts, as I have been blogging from the start, a couple of months ago.
Having said that, in my view such a strategy must eventually include Kiev, which straddles the Dnieper.

If only Britain had kept the Empire; if only Britain had not fought a savage and pointless war against the German Reich. The shambolic and corrupt countries now seen in Asia and Africa would still be being run properly, by British civil servants and officers at the top level, and indeed below top level. It would have been better for Britain, the native peoples of those countries, for the animals, birds and other wildlife, and for the environment generally.
Ha. Reminds me of British TV news film taken in Salisbury, Rhodesia, circa 1966:
Here is another film. Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) in 1960.
It was not that different when I was there in 1977. I remember seeing most of what is on the film. A few more tall buildings.
Now, of course, after 45 years of black misrule, it is very different.
I notice that even black “Zimbabweans” comment about how beautiful it was back then. True. It was the beauty of the flowering trees and bushes etc that struck me when I was there in 1977. I hope that they still have some of those, at least.
Human nature? It is human nature (for the majority) to bend before authority (read Nietzsche). That is why most, for example, British, Australians, New Zealanders etc obeyed the “rules” and illegitimate laws imposed. Not all sheep in New Zealand have four legs…
Jesus H. Christ! It may be trite to repeat it but “war is hell” (even when unavoidable)…
Of course, most of Ukraine, even in the active war zones, is not devastated, not yet anyway. I hope that it will not be devastated. However, the funnelling of heavy armament by USA/UK etc (NWO/ZOG) to the Jew Zelensky’s Kiev regime will only prolong and intensify the agony, the harm and the loss to civilians, and the destruction of cities and towns.
Russia will probably still be able to take all of the part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and Kiev as well, eventually.

I came across a video. It purports to be from an independent American journalist taken (by Russian soldiers) to the front line of the battle for Mariopol/Mariupol. How “true” it is, I have no idea, but it is something that the Western msm will not show. I cannot link it here because it has been marked “age-restricted” by YouTube, but you can see it by looking for the reports of Patrick Lancaster on YouTube, or perhaps via Google.
As previously blogged, the Russians seem to be drawing a line from their southern occupied areas, through Zaporozhye, and (as yet only on maps, not on the ground) up to Dnipro/Dnepropetrovsk and then further up to the Kharkov area.
If the Russians can do that, and if they can hold that line, then the Ukrainian or Kiev-regime forces east of that line are doomed, because they will have no chance of resupply.
We are told that the best, most effective, Ukrainian forces are in the southeast, around the Donbass region. If they become completely encircled, then not only are they themselves doomed, but the Kiev regime will lose the best part of its army. In that event, the situation on the ground will change rapidly. The Russians will have far greater forces to deploy beyond the southeast, and the cities east of the Dnieper still under Kiev-regime control will quite soon fall. The distance from Dnipro to Kiev is the same as that from Kharkov to Kiev— 300 miles.
The Russians might decide to advance on Kiev after that, not only from the south/southeast, but also from the east (once Kharkov is fully taken) and again from the north.
There again, Odessa is a major strategic target, as the third-largest city (after Kiev and Kharkov), and with more anti-ship missiles being sent to the Kiev regime by the UK and USA, the Russians might prefer to secure Odessa before attempting Kiev.
Historically, Russia has been at its most relentless when its back has been against the wall. Russia has to win this war, now that it is impossible to back out. The horrible mess of the invasion, and the toll on civilians and their companion animals, has been terrible, but Russia now has no choice but to wade through it all, to some sort of “victory”, however bitter.
I agree, but in reality the opposite is happening. Boris-idiot has more or less abandoned the British people (to sink or swim in a sea of price rises, shortages not only of goods but of NHS and other services as well, and other problems). Fake “Boris” is now the am-dram poundland “Churchill” again, desperately seeking vindication by giving UK weaponry to the Jew Zelensky and his Zionist Kiev regime.
I am inclined to think that “Partygate” is a pathetic storm in a teacup (and the “rules” should never have existed anyway), but the fact is that “Boris” thinks that whatever rules do exist are for the British people, but not for him and his cosmopolitan and only notionally “British” cabal.

Most online censorship etc is done by, or at the instigation of, the Jew-Zionist element in UK and world society: see a few of my own experiences here below.
Nicola Sturgeon, who last week demanded Boris resign for breaking his own Covid rules, has been reported to Police Scotland for breaking her own Covid rules. Will she now demand her own resignation? https://t.co/VTlVlBEPZJ
No, because Sturgeon, like Toby Young, is a hypocrite. Young runs the “Free Speech Union”, which however has never said a word in favour of me (since 2016 not only wrongfully-disbarred, but also harassed several times over the years by police drones, at the instigation of the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby); likewise, Young and the free speech bods have never spoken up for Alison Chabloz (imprisoned more than once for singing satirical songs and posting satirical cartoons about Jew frauds), or Jez Turner (imprisoned for one sentence in a speech about Jews). Etc.
Alison Chabloz
Speaking of imprisoned (last Thursday, yet again) satirist and singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz, it seems that she will be appealing both her conviction and sentence, though I have no details. From what little I heard at time of, or immediately subsequent to, trial and sentencing, there are several possible grounds of appeal, in law, but I prefer to remain silent until I have detail (if I do) of the grounds of appeal.
[Alison Chabloz]
In the meantime, until or unless she can get bail pending appeal, Alison sits in Bronzefield Prison near Heathrow Airport.
Alison’s address and Prisoner Number is now confirmed as below:
Alison Chabloz A6478EK
HMP Bronzefield,
Woodthorpe Rd,
Ashford
TW15 3JZ.
Anyone who wishes to send postcards, letters, books [new books only, softback only, preferably from online booksellers, but not from Amazon] etc, can send them to the above address.
Small sums of money can also be sent to Alison via the official government system: see https://www.gov.uk/send-prisoner-money. The date of birth of the prisoner is required; Alison’s date of birth is 4 April 1964.
The Jew-Zionist troublemakers at the tiny but (needless to say) well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, who boasted last year that they had “been trying to get Alison Chabloz imprisoned for 5 years” (note the typically-obsessional mentality), have in recent days been crowing on Twitter etc about Alison’s latest unjust sentence.
In fact, as of tomorrow, Thursday 21 April 2022, Alison will already have served 1/11th of her likely actual custodial sentence (i.e. one week out of the total 22 weeks, of which half, 11 weeks, will be spent in prison).
The “CAA” cabal has put out a lot of effort for not much reward, it seems to me.
If Alison gets bail pending appeal, it is quite likely that the appeal (in Crown Court, unless another route is sought via Divisional Court) will not be heard for many months, perhaps not even until 2023.

The desired result is that most people won’t even bother to question the ethics of policies or laws because it’s become too confusing. They’ll just sit around, gormless and jabbed, waiting for the television to tell them when to be cross and when to be content.
This is not new, though —arguably— the subtlety, and degree of intensification, may be.
In the First World War, the British Government set up a quite effective “black propaganda” unit, which claimed that Belgian and French babies were being impaled on German bayonets, nuns attacked to bell-clappers in cathedrals and so murdered in that bizarre fashion, and that civilians were being murdered, their bodies being melted down to produce soap, and the skin used to upholster armchairs or create lamp-shades.
At least many of the poorly-educated British public of 1914-18 actually believed those stories (which were in fact all completely untrue). You may say, “well, most people were uneducated then, had never travelled” etc, but some of the very same stories were, so to speak, “recycled” in the Second World War: bodies melted to create soap, skin used in lamp-shades etc.
In fact, even the Jew-Zionists have disowned most of the Second World War reworking of those propaganda stories, but some of the simpler people of the UK still believe in them, as I discovered in early 2017, when I was asked by a detective-sergeant at Grays (Essex) police station, how I could justify human (Jewish) skin being turned into lamp-shades! See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.
If even a detective-sergeant of the police cannot see that such stories are a kind of science-fiction, then how can many others tell truth from fiction?
Now, the public is asked to believe that most Russians are almost devils, and that most Ukrainians are almost saintly, that Putin is a real devil, but that the Jew dictator Zelensky is a hero and all-round wonderful person.
We see and hear of atrocities committed by Russians (in fact, Chechens and others seem more culpable), but the proven atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces (eg sadistically shooting young Russian captives in the legs before executing them in the field (both war crimes) are, if reported at all by the Western msm, glossed over and not dwelt upon much.
In fact, bearing in mind the number of Western msm reporters now in Western Ukraine, where are the reports about how the Zelensky regime is treating its Russian (and Ukrainian dissident) captives? Answer came there none…
The latest absurdity is, of course, the fast-tracking of Ukraine into the EU. A country with part (and soon half) of its claimed territory under “foreign” occupation, a country with almost no economy left, with a near-worthless currency, with 15% of its citizens now living in other countries (having fled).
Proof positive that the EU has abandoned being a trading bloc and has become a purely political component of the New World Order [NWO].
“Britain could go it alone in responding directly to a chemical agent attack by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine, the armed forces minister has suggested.

[James Heappey MP, junior minister for the Armed Forces, who seems to want Britain to launch a unilateral attack, using chemical weapons at that, on Russia. A prize idiot, even in the Westminster monkeyhouse]
I am beginning to think that it is only a matter of time before deadheads of the James Heappey type get the UK into a war —by any other name— with Russia, a state which has, we are told, 6,200 nuclear weapons, mostly missiles (the UK, apparently, has about 25).
All that potential misery, pain, and death for the people of the UK (not to mention the end of the UK as a functioning state), and why? Because idiots of the Heappey type want to virtue-signal about Ukraine, a corrupt and shambolic “failed state” that, as a state, has only existed for 30 years, and with which the UK is not, and never has been, allied.
Behind all the “stand with Ukraine” stuff is a collection of familiar evils: Conservative and Labour Friends of Israel, the New World Order cabals etc.
Justice?
Yesterday, persecuted satirist Alison Chabloz was sentenced to a very harsh 22 weeks in prison (11 weeks actually incarcerated), not far from the maximum 26 weeks. All because some peculiar Jewish woman made a complaint about Alison’s reworking of a Lionel Bart song from the musical, Oliver!
Don’t mistake me: speaking generally, I do not want the “blacks and browns” to be in the UK, but that sort of rowdiness and bullying cannot be tolerated, yet is, effectively. Also, how is it that the sentencing judge seems to have taken the defendant’s drunkenness at the material time as a mitigating factor?! Surely wrong, even if the trial was in Newcastle…
Actually, that Newcastle sentencing does show what nonsense the whole “aggravation” based on “racial hostility” is. The defendant should have been given a stiff sentence for his behaviour regardless of any racial hostility. The UK must start to stamp down on bad behaviour committed in public.
My main purpose in putting the report on the blog, however, was to show, by contrast, how harsh was the Alison Chabloz sentence yesterday.
Of course, in the Newcastle case, the victim was Indian or something similar, whereas the (alleged) victim in the Alison Chabloz case was Jewish.
One reason, perhaps several reasons, why there is no “Parliamentary road” for social nationalism in the UK, though if there were a suitable —or any— movement, a political party would have to be part of that, and might stand candidates.

Ukraine
A few days ago on this blog, I predicted that, were Russian ships hit and sunk in the Black Sea, it would trigger a massive escalation from the Russian side. So it has transpired.
What puzzles me is that Russia has now attacked a missile factory in the Kiev area, a factory which apparently produces such missiles. My puzzlement is “why only now?” I should have thought that such a place would be a priority target.
I think that Putin basically does not want to hit Kiev, and especially the central and historic central parts, too badly. Not only for public relations reasons, but also because he sees Moscow and Kiev as the two founding cities of the Russian people, of which the Ukrainians are a sort-of detached part.
Historically, that is correct, in that Kiev was the foundation city of Kievan Rus, after the Vikings (Varangians) moved their capital to the (thought to have been already long-existent) city from Novgorod, in the 9th Century. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27. Moscow was only founded in the 12th Century, as far as is known.
Whatever the exact truth of the early history, the fact remains that Kiev was tied to Moscow from mediaeval times, economically and, from the 17th Century, politically.
In the Soviet period, meaning effectively from the mid-1920s to the early 1990s, Kiev was the third-largest city, after Moscow and Leningrad, and ahead of both Tashkent and Novosibirsk.
What that all means is, I think, that Putin would much prefer not to flatten Kiev (as he could).
I see the attack on the Kiev factory as, to put it in naval terms, “a shot across the bow” of the Kiev regime. If it is true that the UK and/or USA are now supplying anti-ship missiles to the Kiev regime, then an attack on an existing factory in Ukraine will not affect that.
Russian forces have now taken Mariopol/Mariupol, and are apparently succeeding in the ghastly attritional battles of the south and southeast.
As I have blogged recently, the strategy seems to be to advance from Kharkov area to the south, and from the southern coastal areas towards the general area of Kharkov, through or past Zaporozhye and Dnipro/Dnepropetrovsk; so drawing a line broadly North/South.
Anywhere east of that line will, before too long, be taken and occupied by Russian forces. Any Ukrainian forces within that sector, short on fuel, ammunition, and even food, will be forced to surrender.
I cannot see Putin negotiating at all (seriously), certainly not until he controls most of Ukraine east of the Dnieper below Kiev, as well as along the southern coasts.
I am convinced that Putin does not want to destroy Kiev and Odessa, but am equally convinced that he will, if forced into a corner.
[Daily Mail map showing state of play as of 14 April 2022]
On a more general level of speculation, how safe are the huge naval ships in the orders of battle of the UK, USA, China etc? Are they also just vulnerable floating targets, when faced with the anti-ship missiles now being produced?

Despite my (overall) “pro-Russia” position (a simplification, but let it stand for purposes of convenience), I have been, naturally, appalled by the alleged war crimes supposedly committed by some of the Russian forces, though I note that many were committed by non-Russians such as Chechens, and that some, perhaps many, Russian soldiers have behaved decently.
Some of the alleged crimes may not have happened at all, but it seems clear that at least some have, and there is no doubt that civilian infrastructure, such as apartment buildings, have been targeted. That is terrible, though whether it counts legally as a “war crime” will depend on whether Ukrainian fighters were ensconced therein.
The Russian Army must shoot its own looters and rapists, and make the punishments known to the world.
An army without discipline is just a rabble, or rampaging mob. Putin must put steel and backbone into his army. Immediately.
Leaving legalities aside, for the Ukrainian civilians, and their companion animals, this is a terrible situation. The invasion should have been a swift, overwhelming, and almost bloodless seizure of Kiev and the rest of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, not the horrible bloody mess that has developed.
I have blogged in previous posts that Stalin would have been shooting generals and intelligence chiefs by now. I have just yesterday read that Putin has detained some 150 top military and intelligence personnel. That is, I think, as much as he can do in his position, overtly at least.
The sheer inefficiency and negligence of the Russian Army and intelligence components (apparently parts of the FSB and GRU) has been stunning. Putin must, quite rightly, be furious.
I do not rule out actual treachery. The Western allies seem remarkably well-informed, though that did not prevent them making the same error as both Putin and me, i.e. thinking that the invasion would be almost a walkover, in the usual racing term.
I recall that, in 1941, Hitler had to persuade his generals that the invasion of the Soviet Union would not be as hard as they imagined. As he said to them, “kick in the front door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down!“
Hitler was right, but where he was not right was in assuming that the incapacity of the Red Army, and the decrepitude of the Soviet Union, in the initial phas, would continue forever. In the event, despite a relatively swift approach to Moscow, the weather, events, fresh Siberian troops sent from the east, and a split in German strategic aims, meant that the German advances faltered, stalled, then stopped. The Red Army proved that it had resilience under new commanders.
The Russian Army in the Ukraine of 2022 has been pathetic in all ways, but the story is not yet at an end.
Fresh manpower reserves, elimination or demotion of useless generals, new weapons, new equipment, an increase of armoured pressure on strategic points (Schwerpunkten) will, or can, tip the balance in Ukraine east of the Dnieper. Missile strikes on Ukrainian fuel supplies and arms dumps in all areas of Ukraine can help to turn the tide in the east.

Readers of this blog will probably be aware that persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter, Alison Chabloz, was convicted last Thursday of an offence under the notorious anti-free-speech Communications Act 2003, s.127, which is due to be repealed this year (to be replaced by other legislation).
This Thursday, 14 April 2022, Alison Chabloz will face a sentencing hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. 1400 hrs.
Already, solicitors and Counsel are preparing appeal against conviction and (depending on what happens on Thursday) sentence. Any appeal hearing will be heard (eventually) at Crown Court.

I have tried to cover this issue before on the blog. Not easy, mainly because earnings of barristers in private practice (i.e. not salaried employees working for government or companies) vary widely, indeed wildly. Anything from almost pennies to a million or more a year.
The general public tends to think of barristers averaging at least a couple of hundred thousand a year, but in fact many (especially those doing legally-aided criminal and family law work) are earning well under £100K, and many of those are making below £50K.
Needless to say, the public does not feel very sorry for those earning as much or more than they themselves do, but at the same time, barristers do have many extra expenses, which can take thousands or even tens of thousands off their gross income.
In the end, there has to be an effective court system, and that does mean having at least a corps of advocates, and that composed of at least reasonably proficient persons, which in turn posits the need for adequate remuneration.
I have no real axe to grind here. When I was at the ordinary practising Bar (1992-1996 and then 2002-2008), my work was partly (and after 1996, entirely) non-legally-aided. Also, I am scarcely likely to be overly kind about a profession the regulators of which allowed themselves to be manipulated by Jew-Zionist troublemakers who complained about me on political grounds (long after I ceased actual work as a barrister): see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

[Daily Mail map showing apparent state of play as of 10 March 2022]
I do not have comment re. that map specifically, beyond what I wrote yesterday, i.e. that the Russian immediate strategy seems to be to draw a line from Kharkov to Dnipro (former Dnepropetrovsk) and then down to where Russian forces are near Zaporozhye, to defeat all Ukrainian forces east of that line, and to occupy everywhere east of that line.
The Russians are now playing what is called, in chess, a positional game, relying on broad strategy and slow accretions, rather than swift tactics and bold moves.
Ukraine is now, having been for 30 years close to being a “failed state”, a complete shell of a state, at least in the east. The latest statistics show that its economy has collapsed by 50% or more already. It has limited vehicle fuel, and the besieged areas lack not only fuel, but food, ammunition, and even water in some cases.
Russian forces in Ukraine face logistical problems —unsurprising in a country the size of France— but not shortages as such. Time is on the Russian side in that sense. Their forces can be resupplied.
I should think that the Russians will start to target any large Ukrainian troop concentrations, as well as resupply lines, using more powerful missiles launched from inside Russia.
More accurately, both NATO and the EU are distinct but connected components of the Western power matrix as it now is. The New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government [“NWO/ZOG”] matrix.

[Daily Mail map showing the state of play in the east/southeast of Ukraine as of 9 April 2022]
It seems that Russian forces have withdrawn not only from the Kiev area but from the area north of Kiev generally. Without taking Kiev, there is no real victory, no matter what else happens.
It seems now that the Russian strategic aims in the short term are to secure and hold the Donbass area, encircle and capture or destroy the Ukrainian forces there, then to push from the north (Kharkov area), the south, and the east, creating a line broadly Kharkov-Dnipro [former Dnepropetrovsk] and down to, or linking with, Russian forces already occupying the Sea of Azov littoral.
If the Russians can do all that, then (once Dnipro and Zaporozhye are taken or besieged) they will have about a fifth of Ukraine (half of Ukraine east of the Dnieper) under their control.
In other news, it seems that the UK is sending anti-ship missiles to Odessa. If Russian ships start to be sunk from Odessa, then it is not unlikely that the response will be swift and brutal. The city of Odessa may be completely destroyed by missiles and artillery if the Russian Black Sea Fleet comes under serious attack. Very sad from the historical and aesthetic point of view (and, of course, the humanitarian one).
It looks as though the Russians are degrading the Ukrainian fuel reserves and supply lines. Without fuel, the Kiev regime forces will become little more mobile than the armies of Napoleon and Wellington.
Ammunition continues to run out for the Ukrainian forces.
Despite msm reports etc, this still looks like a winnable military situation for Russia, in the short to medium term. I read today that (as predicted in this blog) Russia is now calling up recently-active reserves, i.e. former soldiers who are still reasonably “current”.
Politically, of course, and in terms of public relations, this Ukraine adventure has been disastrous for Russia, not because of the invasion as such, but because of how it was so badly planned and executed. Also, because of how unsuccessful it has been, overall. Pathetic, and terrible in all ways.
I have often thought how Russia needs a degree of isolation in order for the seed of that future age not to be poisoned by whatever now exists in the world, centred on “the West”, meaning on North America, Britain, and then western and central continental Europe.
Ironically, it now appears that it is the West itself which is sending Russia into that isolation, via economic and cultural sanctions.
Russia is one of the few countries in the world which can, if necessary, do without the rest of the world, in economic terms. 72 times the size of the UK, and 2-3 times the size of the USA (depending on whether Alaska is included), Russia has the land, the climatic zones, the varied natural and human resources, to make autarky work.
Russia could create an entirely different form of human society. It tried and failed already, with Marxism-Leninism, but that was building houses of straw. On another basis, such an attempt can succeed.

When he was not only a faux-“British” MP but actually a government minister!
Indeed. The EU has pledged another billion Euros in Aid and 500m for weapons. Starting to resemble a massive wealth transfer. Why aren't Ukraine borrowing the money, as we are, to fund their own weapons. Meanwhile here, pensioners sit in the cold.
Good grief! Is New Zealand finally waking up? Jacinda Ardern is the sort of political leader you get when the voters are more interested in whether they win a rugby or cricket match on the other side of the world than the fact that their country is not only becoming a dystopian police state but also being swamped by non-white immigration and political correctness. The UK and USA should wake up too.
I would never travel on a Greek ship, not any distance anyway. I heard a similar story about the cowardly incompetence of Greek ships’ officers and seamen from my own brother, when he and his wife were nearly lost in a storm at sea in the Mediterranean, about 40 years ago. Only luck saved his ship (travelling between Piraeus and Kos, an overnight journey of about 17 hours).
Admittedly, I did myself once travel on a car ferry between Ancona (Italy) and Patras (Greece), a 20+-hour journey, and that was fine, but I cannot now recall whether that was a Greek ship or not. Anyway, it’s only when trouble happens that a crew is put to the test.
Deerstalker
I forgot to mention that I saw someone, a few days ago, wearing a deerstalker in the nearby small town. A man in late middle age. Unusual; I have not seen anyone wearing a deerstalker for many many years. I myself, at age 14, used to affect one, sometimes, at the races. I remember wearing one at Newbury a couple of times, circa 1970 or 1971. Sherlock Holmes has much to answer for.
Shock for Emmanuel Macron as new poll predicts Marine Le Pen could sneak a surprise victory in French election. I, for one, would be glad to see the back of him. https://t.co/XbrZyoAJE3@MailOnline
The System across Europe, and especially EU-Europe, is so corrupt and fake that one almost gives up hope at times, but if Marine le Pen can get to the Presidency of France, there might be hope for a real “new order” in European diplomacy and politics, for a halt to the crazed and headlong rush to war with Russia, and indeed for a rapprochement with Russia.
Yes, Marine le Pen has her faults, is by no means sufficiently “anti-Semitic” etc, but look at the alternative! I blogged about Macron’s odd background and political career (the latter suffused with Jewish corruption) a few years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/.

I am not much of a car buff. In my mid/late teens I rode first a Vespa scooter (max speed about 55 mph), and then a 250cc Suzuki motorbike (max speed 108 mph, accomplished one late evening on the then —1976— almost empty M23, from Brighton to Surrey), but only had a licence to drive a car from the age of 42, and then only because I was living on a Caribbean island where there were virtually no taxis, and no public transport.
I have now held a UK licence for about 20 years, with almost no problem: a couple of small accidents —not my fault, in my opinion— and a couple of speeding tickets, the speeding offences both in 2005 (40 mph in a 30 mph area, and 97 mph on a 70 mph road).
Make that three if you include getting caught by a motorbike cop in Normandy in 2007 (going about 95 mph on a ~66 mph dual carriageway road). On-the-spot fine.
A few times, at about 2 or 3 in the morning, on empty pay-autoroutes in Northern France, I cruised at up to 130 mph in my then car (a Volvo), but rarely saw another vehicle, and was never bothered by the police.
I usually potter around my local district at about 30 mph now, so would have no use for the Aston Martin Valhalla, which can apparently reach speeds of up to 217 mph.
Actually, cars such as the Valhalla are symptoms of a wider pointlessness in world —and especially Western— society. A car that can go 217 mph, yet which will mostly be seen crawling at 5 mph in the congested traffic of central London or Monte Carlo, or along the roads of Bel-Air at 20 mph, and probably driven by a 20-year-old Gulf Arab.

The intentions are certainly not “worthy“, but yet another expression of Jewish tribal supremacism. If “they” want a so-called “memorial” (to events which may or, more likely, may not have occurred, or at least not occurred as narrated, nearly a century ago, and in another part of Europe, and which had nothing to do with Britain anyway) then let “them” put it on a small artificial “Boris island” in the Thames Estuary. Come to that, put “Boris” on it as well.
One wonders why the Russians have not broken up the rail system in Ukraine. Is it because they want as many Ukrainians as possible to flee westward?
The only way Russia can now achieve anything looking like an overall victory is to flood Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of troops, and then strike at Kiev, in particular, with its best in-theatre units.
The present Russian tactics, of making almost random missile or other attacks on urban targets here and there, are not only giving Russia a terrible reputation across the world, but not achieving anything from a military point of view. They seem little more than malicious, and are certainly being presented that way by the Kiev regime and generally in the Western msm, on social media etc.
If Putin does not get a grip, Russia itself will eventually implode.
Yes, I see the opinion polls saying that 60% or 70% or more of Russians “support” the invasion and war, but even if so, that is volatile; it can change.
In my own lifetime, I have seen not only governments but whole regimes of society, whole states, implode. The Soviet Union itself, which looked unassailable even a few years before it collapsed; the DDR (East Germany), which I visited only a year before it collapsed and then ceased to exist; Rhodesia, where I was in 1977, and which gave up its struggle only two years later to become yet another corrupt and shambolic black-ruled failed state (Zimbabwe); South Africa; Iran. Others, too.
Perhaps Putin’s Russia will go the same way as its predecessor, the Soviet Union, and just fall apart internally; the EU and West generally might do the same before too long.

When will this nonsense end? I suppose that the answer is “in 2022 or 2023,when the West, the NWO/ZOG West, triggered the Third World War, and both Europe and North America were all but obliterated, together with their crazed ‘woke’ societies“.

The Jew-Zionist element on Twitter is already crowing because persecuted singer-songwriter and satirist, Alison Chabloz, has apparently been convicted again under the notorious “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, which may be repealed in the next year or so.
Once again, the persecution and prosecution of Alison Chabloz was instigated by “the usual suspects”, primarily the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, [“CAA”] who have publicly admitted targeting Alison Chabloz over a period of (now) about 6 years, at least.
It seems that Alison is now on bail, pending a sentencing hearing next Thursday afternoon.

Strange. The msm is constantly yapping about how, for example, Russian dissidents are under attack by the Russian state, yet here, in our once supposedly “free” country, a lady is prosecuted and convicted (and has previously actually been imprisoned) for singing satirical songs about the “you know whos”.
Charles Dickens is fortunate that he is dead; were he still alive, no doubt “they” would come after him as well, and he might also be sharing the dock with, among others, Shakespeare, Wagner, Chopin, Schumann, Hilaire Belloc, G.K.

Simple-minded and basically hysterical young women of that sort have been the mainstay of all sorts of emotionally-driven campaigns resulting in Very Bad Results over the past half-century or so: decolonialization, anti-apartheid/pro-ANC Mandela-worship, “Black Lives Matter”, “Refugees Welcome”, “Climate Change”, “Covid”, etc etc. “Ukraine” too, now.
Listen to that hysteric! For example, Madagascar’s problems are, says she, caused by “climate change”, not the fact that countries like Madagascar are inhabited by backward and often totally useless people, some of whom are the corrupt, shambolic, and useless “governments” of such failed “states”.

The report caught my eye partly because it is an area I used to know well. As a former resident of Little Venice, I was quite often in Edgware Road, and occasionally in Praed Street (Paddington) as well. I knew a couple of people who worked around there, and my dentist in the early 1990s was in the next main street (corner of Edgware Road and Sussex Gardens). In other words, I myself could have been one of the unfortunate victims, were I still living in that part of London.
The UK needs what Russians call a chistka (“clean-up” or purge), and nowhere is that more necessary than in London.
The “A6 Murder” was one of the most notorious crimes in an era of such. After Hanratty was executed, many of the famous joined in a noisy campaign to prove Hanratty innocent. Among those were the ludicrous John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and the well-meaning but often just silly Ludovic Kennedy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludovic_Kennedy].
I have also seen some of the documentaries made about the crime, such as that in the interesting TV series (a favourite of mine), Great Crimes and Trials [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Crimes_and_Trials]. I never saw the series when it was on BBC TV (I had no television set in the 1993-1996 period) but later bought all the videos I could find.
Interestingly enough, one book I once read, maybe by Ludovic Kennedy (not sure now) had an incident whereby, before Hanratty had been named as wanted for questioning, a lady met Hanratty casually (I think in a shop in London) and had an immediate instinct that here was the A6 murderer. Absurd from a logical point of view, yet she was right. What are the odds?
Australia was once 99% a European-race “lucky country”, but now is a dystopian, mixed-race, politically-correct, and half-crazed, geographic area, not really a nation at all, and which will probably eventually become a kind of massive Philippines-type mess, or a Chinese semi-colony..

[general state of play as of 6 April 2022]
Russia can defeat the forces of the Kiev regime, but it depends on how much death, damage and hurt Putin is willing to inflict.
Ukraine conflict: today’s thoughts
Ukraine is not a functioning state, really. It always (since “independence” in 1991) had elements of a “failed state”— corruption, shambolic maladministration, foreign/Jewish exploitation, but now the only element of a normal state that still exists is its armed force. Almost everything else is gone.
The Russian blockade means that Ukraine ports, even the unoccupied ones such as Odessa, are not working. The war and the situation in general means that industry is not functioning, that trade is almost at a standstill in much of the country. Airports are closed down and/or damaged.
So far, railways are still functioning, but for how long?
As to the war itself, I saw a report today to the effect that the Ukrainian forces are using each day about the same amount of ammunition (of all sorts, but particularly of the items supplied by NATO and others) that they are importing each week. A shortfall in the ratio 1:6. Unsustainable. It can only be a matter of time, and not much time, before the Ukrainian forces run out of everything except small arms/ammunition.
It can be seen that the Ukrainian (Kiev-regime) authorities are advising civilians in the south-east to evacuate before an expected renewed Russian onslaught. In all the besieged cities of the east, civilians are running out of food or have run out of food. It can only be a matter of time there too, before most of those cities are taken or flattened. Once that happens, the Russians will slowly occupy all of the Ukraine east of the Dnieper. That will eventually threaten Kiev again, this time from the southeast.
The Black Sea and Sea of Azov coasts are now almost entirely Russian-occupied as far west as Mykolaiv (former Nikolayev).
Russia may well move soon in some unexpected way to regain the tactical initiative. How, exactly, is hard to predict. Possibly by calling up Russia’s vast reserves, which number in the millions. True, they would all have to be fed and equipped and transported but, given that, they could be used to garrison areas taken, while the regular forces strike at areas east of the Dnieper still resisting, or not yet assaulted.
It seems that the mayor of Dnipro (former Dnepropetrovsk) has recommended that the elderly, women, and children should evacuate from the city, which at a million inhabitants (pre-invasion) is by far the largest population concentration on the Dnieper between the southern coastal areas and Kiev, 500 miles to the northwest. It has or had the 4th-largest population of the Ukrainian cities, slightly bigger than Donetsk.
Dnipro is on both banks of the Dnieper.
[Dnipro, formerly Dnepropetrovsk]
So far, the Russian forces have not yet secured Donetsk completely, let alone Zaporozhye and Dnipro. As noted, even if Dnipro can be taken or surrounded/sidelined, it is still 500 miles from there to Kiev. In my view, Russia has not won anything akin to a victory unless Kiev is taken.
The only way Russia can defeat the forces of the Kiev regime (without tactical nuclear weapons) is to call up its ground reserves, then push remorselessly forward, using hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of troops, until all Ukraine east of the Dnieper is occupied.
Meanwhile, we see msm reports of mutiny in the Russian forces. If true, reminiscent of 1917…

If a rich Englishman tried to become a Cabinet minister, or Prime Minister, in India, would that be possible? No; au contraire; it would be unthinkable.
The photo shows, I think, the inspection carried out later (in 1943) by the German forces that had invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, and so also the part of Poland taken by Soviet invaders in 1939. Some international experts from Switzerland and Hungary took part in the exhumation.
The massacre itself was carried out by the Soviet NKVD in 1940.

“At the beginning of 1944, Ron Jeffery, an agent of British and Polish intelligence in occupied Poland, eluded the Abwehr and travelled to London with a report from Poland to the British government. His efforts were at first highly regarded, but subsequently ignored, which a disillusioned Jeffery later attributed to the actions of Kim Philby and other high-ranking communist agents entrenched in the British government. Jeffery tried to inform the British government about the Katyn massacre, but was as a result released from the Army.[65]
In 1947, the Polish Government in exile 1944–1946 report on Katyn was transmitted to Telford Taylor.[66]
In the United States a similar line was taken, notwithstanding two official intelligence reports into the Katyn massacre that contradicted the official position. In 1944, Roosevelt assigned his special emissary to the Balkans, Navy Lieutenant Commander George Earle, to produce a report on Katyn.[24] Earle concluded the massacre was committed by the Soviet Union.[24] Having consulted with Elmer Davis, director of the United States Office of War Information, Roosevelt rejected the conclusion (officially), declared he was convinced of Nazi Germany’s responsibility, and ordered that Earle’s report be suppressed. When Earle requested permission to publish his findings, the President issued a written order to desist.[24] Earle was reassigned and spent the rest of the war in American Samoa.[24]” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre].
As blogged a day or two ago, Soviet agents, pro-Soviet “useful idiots”, and/or Jews, were trying, as late as the early 1980s, to pin the guilt for the Soviet massacre at Katyn on the forces of the Reich.

Mirabile dictu! At last, Boris-idiot’s government may be doing something which which I may be able to agree, depending on the detail. Much later, perhaps, we may be able to remove millions of others from the UK to Rwanda or other such countries. They would be more suited to life outside Europe.

Whatever one may think of the present shambolic UK government, if the proposed scheme gets going on a large-enough scale, that will cook Labour’s goose for good, I should think.
You can see now why Ukraine is vital to the plans of NWO/ZOG. That is why, despite the alleged war crimes, despite the terrible destruction and harm being done, Russia must fight on to topple the Zelensky regime.

Terrible losses, assuming that the figures are accurate. Tanks lost are about 5% of all tanks operational in the whole of Russia; as for the soldiers, though, no more than 2% of the overall active strength. Very bad losses, all the same.
Graham Linehan
I saw recently that Graham Linehan, the former scriptwriter, was feeling sorry for himself because “trans” fanatics had had him “cancelled”, and because his wife left him, it seems, once he had little money or income left.
As a matter of fact, I had never heard of Linehan until he was scathing about me on Twitter several years ago. I had only vaguely heard of Father Ted, and certainly never seen it.
I have to say that his present troubles could not have happened to a more appropriate person; I see that quite a few Daily Mail readers seem to agree with me. I do not agree with the Daily Mail scribbler who refers to him as “this decent man“, even though I agree with Linehan about the “trans” nonsense and associated lunacy.
In the American phrase, “what goes around comes around“…
A few other self-appointed enemies should muse on that.

Even people basically on the right path do not see that they are being played and used in a bigger game.
