How terrible it is when innocent animals suffer as “collateral damage” to human wars. I wonder whether the UN could set up a permanent task force with the mission to arrange with both sides to (any) armed conflict so that that animals, both in zoos and other situations, can be rescued and/or rehomed outside immediate war zones.

If the military situation becomes seriously worse for Russia and/or, for example, if the war spreads actively to Poland later in the year, when the weather again turns very cold, Russia will turn off the gas taps, and Poland will freeze (and its industries stop dead).

I have occasionally noted on this blog the strange fact that so many Twitter-twits who have made malicious official complaints about me, attacked me, or made comments about me, have suffered serious medical or other problems, in some cases terminal. That trend has continued, with the green bottles falling one by one off the wall, as in the old song.
I note, also, that one particular Balkan fraud (who shall be nameless, for now), and who used to delight in tweeting maliciously about me, seems to have gone completely mad, claiming that NHS doctors and nurses have deliberately injured her by sticking needles into her. “Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“, in the old saying.
I see that a number of Jew-Zionist and/or “antifa” trolls have either ceased to post (about me, and in some cases generally) on Twitter, and are either not around at all now, or have locked their Twitter accounts.
Good riddance. Raus!

Britain is planning to send tanks to Poland to help Ukraine as Boris Johnson conceded that Russia had a chance of winning the war https://t.co/dEMk9kYFn4
— The Times and The Sunday Times (@thetimes) April 23, 2022
Boris-idiot has latched onto Ukraine as a kind of sub-Falklands Factor, to distract from his hopeless handling of pretty much everything in domestic British politics. The cunning Jew, Zelensky, is playing “Boris” for all he is worth. £500M in military aid, missiles, tanks (all gratis), “refugee” hospitality etc etc.
If Britain (either directly or in effect, via Poland) gives tanks to the Kiev regime, the UK is pretty close to being in a war with Russia which, though at present still a cold war, might well result in a hot war before very long.
Russia, if willing to use all its power, cannot “lose” in Ukraine. For example, were it to use tactical and/or battlefield nuclear weapons. Thus it can be seen that for the UK and USA to funnel arms to the Kiev regime is merely to prolong and intensify the agony of the Ukrainian civilians and their companion animals (which latter is not a “small” matter, as some believe; some apparently small matters are, spiritually, of great importance).

🇫🇷 French election: Macron tipped for win after campaign shows up France’s cultural divisions https://t.co/u6y1AXS0fY
— The Times and The Sunday Times (@thetimes) April 22, 2022
If Macron wins that semi-rigged election in France, it will be a situation of (to paraphrase the famous Sun headline of 1992), “it was the w*gs wot won it!“…
No less than 17% of the officially-noted population of France are non-white: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France#Ethnic_groups. Few of those will vote for Marine le Pen. The votes of the supposedly socialist Melenchon (22% in the first round, third-placed; knocked out) are mostly those of non-French (i.e. non-white) voters. Melenchon himself is only French by (partial) upbringing— his parents are Spanish and Spanish/Sicilian, and he lived in Morocco until aged 11.
Most of the Melenchon voters will either vote Macron (to stop Marine le Pen), or will abstain, in this second round. Thus the French people will —probably— be cheated.
Births to ethnic non-French are booming; births to French people declining. This election may be the last chance the French people have to save themselves by ordinary, “lawful” methods, and I fear that, like the Brits, Germans, and others, they will fluff it.
Not that I think hugely highly of Marine le Pen, who even has Jews advising her (and undermining her), but she at least seems to value the heritage of France and of Europe, as compared to Zionist puppet Macron.
Europe may have to be destroyed and remade.

Many people I know permanently lost their businesses, careers, bands, self respect, health, life savings. Some committed suicide. Some have children now years behind in their education.
All for nothing. So the upper middle class could LARP “pandemic” and bake bread at home. 2/4
Primary care and the basic health needs of society dropped off a cliff. ERs became family doctors as family doctors insisted they only see patients virtually. Covid myopia buried all rationality.
And what we got is a society now coming apart at the seams.
The people who loved calling others selfish gained from it and they were good with that. They never stopped to think of how much it affected others or the long term implications it would have. Especially on children.
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.

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 realized as early as 1980 that Richard Branson was a very negative influence in the UK. Even now, many others have not quite caught up with me.
Branson has always championed the collapse of decent society, of standards, of European race and culture. He avoids as much tax as possible, runs a company replete with staff-treatment flaws, and simply wants to make as much money as possible while disguising all that under a tangle of virtue-signalling, “caring-sharing” nonsense.

Branson reminds me slightly of Harry, the Royal Cuck. Branson may not have had quite the stratospheric privilege of “Prince” Harry, but his grandfather was a High Court judge, and a trust fund paid for Branson’s education at Stowe. More interestingly, when Branson committed a large-scale Customs fraud (in the early 1970s), the judge sentencing him at the Crown Court let him off with a £50,000 fine (maybe half a million today), which his family was able to pay. The judge noted that, usually, the penalty would have been a substantial prison sentence.
I cannot think of one good thing Branson has done for the UK.

Hard to believe now that, in pre-EU days (when it was just the EEC, and Sweden not part of it), 1982, I was actually refused admission to Sweden at the port of Malmo (they said that I did not have enough money) while en route to Helsinki and having arrived from the port of Travemunde in the then West Germany (Travemunde was on the border of the DDR).

For several years, I have been blogging and (before the Jew lobby had me expelled from Twitter in 2018) tweeting that the UK needs to join more closely with Russia, partly because, on certain premises, Russia would supply the UK with natural gas at or near cost-price.
The present “British” government of Jews, part-Jews, Indians etc has no interest in the welfare of the British people, preferring to do the job of the New World Order [NWO] in attacking Russia, Ukraine being the latest excuse.
Who will suffer because of the sanctions regime on Russia? Putin? The neo-nomenklatura of Russia? No. Us, mainly. The British people.
Pretty typical of many news reports seen now, eg in the Daily Mail and other online newspapers: containing spelling mistakes as well as misunderstood bits and pieces. For example, “shackle” for “shekel“. The (mostly quite poorly-paid) 20-somethings now writing for newspapers do not, most of them, have the real-life journalistic background of the old-style reporters.
Having said that, the MyLondon report, by one Holly Evans, does cover the main facts adequately, if briefly and selectively.
In the early 1980s, I think 1981 or 1982, I was at that funfair, or a similar one, on the grassed open area or Common at Blackheath. My then girlfriend’s small children, aged about 5 and 7, wanted to go. I rather dislike funfairs but had to agree to take them and their mother. It was just about walking distance from their house.
We tried various stalls and rides. I think (though cannot truly remember after 40 years) that I won a prize at the rifle-shooting stall, and I remember being asked (told by the attendant, and rudely) to stop driving my dodgem car broadside into other peoples’ cars; not aggression, but I honestly thought that that was what you were allowed and expected to do; in fact that had happened several times before in my life…I must be a recidivist!
Anyway, the children’s mother noticed a placard inviting anyone wanting to earn £5 to return at midnight to help dismantle all the rides etc. This was 1982, but £5 was no great sum even then; maybe £20 in the money of today.
If truth be known, I was not very enthusiastic, but I had no real or weekly/monthly source of income, and was not even on the dole, so I felt obliged to do it. I had not even started the law degree I later did (from 1984-1987), and had been overseas not long before.
A rather unwanted guest, a recent ex-Soviet citizen, middle-aged, and with glasses and a pipe, called Volodya (the children, unable to say his name, called him Volyoda), was accompanying us, but was saved from having to do any hard work by his (suddenly-mentioned) bad knee…
I turned up at midnight, and so began a very tiring and unpleasant overnight slog lasting hours, during which I, and about 8 other foolish volunteers, had to do things such as dismantle the dodgem car ride (carrying steel girders as well as cars), and (in my case) also climbing and wriggling to the top of the largest marquee and dismantling that.
Needless to say, I was in far better physical condition then than I now am. I could not even think of doing such labour now. All the same, this was hard hard work.
The funfair manageress woman, some kind of tinker-“traveller” type, wanted us, at 0400 hrs, to return to do more work and collect our £5 notes in the later morning! I led a “peasants’ revolt” against this transparent attempt to cheat us, and we then slaved for another hour or so before being (grudgingly) paid off.
I returned home dirty, whacked out, covered in scratches and oil etc, but triumphantly clutching my £5 note. Never again.
I am beginning to think that the System actually wants a nuclear war with Russia. Maybe Europe, including the UK, is to be largely wiped out, leaving only (partly-intact) North America, China, and the less-populated parts of Russia…

Lammy is no doubt welcome at Lincoln’s Inn, the Inn of Court to which he belongs. He may be a Bencher there —a member of the governing body— I do not know. I myself was a member of Lincoln’s Inn from 1986 until the Jew lobby procured my (wrongful/unlawful) disbarment in 2016 (so triggering expulsion from the Inn as well). So Lammy is welcome but I am not welcome. Sour grapes aside…is that not absolutely stupid and ridiculous?
Many areas of England, especially but not exclusively in the South, are becoming overcrowded in the extreme, with green bits gradually being filled in by private developments of little houses, developments without decent gardens or public parks, all because local authorities allow developers almost free rein, and because, on the big picture level, immigration and births to immigrants are swamping us.

Everyone, meaning every white European UK citizen, should have the means of basic personal support, meaning shelter, food, medical/dental help, education, local transport etc. That may mean or include Basic Income provided by the State.
I understand the misgivings of those who say that Basic Income gives the State too much power over the individual, the family etc but, especially for the poorer people of Britain, the petty office bods of the State already have that kind of power. Only the affluent and wealthy really have any significant measure of “freedom” in this society.

Interestingly* I had to do some work using all house sales on the land registry which starts in 1995. Here is the rise in house prices since then, I mean they're only 5.5 times higher now:
I have mentioned before on the blog that I knew someone who was able to buy the freehold of her semi-detached Victorian villa leasehold property in Little Venice (London), valued at the time (about 1980) at £100,000 (in fact she got a 33% discount, so bought it for about £67,000). When she finally sold it in 2005, that same house, in poor condition, was sold for £1.4M, if I recall aright. Somewhere around that figure, anyway. Exactly similar houses in the same street were valued at over £3.5M circa 2016, and I see today that a house in the same road, only a couple of doors down, is for sale at a lower price than that but still pretty damned expensive at £3,150,000.
90% of people who do not inherit real property or very significant other property are effectively locked out of the present UK system in terms of way of life etc. It is not even just a matter of not owning an appreciating property such as a house, but of having to pay rent to (objectively) parasites (rentier landlords), thus having less real disposable income for life. Also, insecurity of tenure.
Incidentally, I wonder whether the lower prices (as against a few years ago, pre-panicdemic), mean that plenty of house-owners in areas such as Little Venice are or have been cashing in their chips and, like rats leaving a sinking ship, departing from London? After all, £3M buys you a pretty nice country house almost anywhere in the Home Counties or shires.

Alison Chabloz: case update
It is reported that Alison Chabloz, persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter, has been sentenced to 22 weeks imprisonment by District Judge Nina Tempia, sitting at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
That means that, subject to any appeal, Alison Chabloz will have to spend the next 11 weeks in prison, unless released earlier on licence (and wearing an electronic tag). Eleven weeks from today is 30 June 2022.
Reports indicate that Alison’s trial Counsel, Adrian Davies, applied for bail pending appeal, but was refused. Such application can be renewed, with a good possibility of success, before a Crown Court judge in chambers, but I do not have any information at present as to whether Alison will in fact pursue appeal to the Crown Court.
The maximum sentence for the offence was 6 months, i.e. 26 weeks, so Alison may feel that an appeal is justified, particularly in view of the (reported but unconfirmed) fact that the Prosecution mooted 9-15 weeks (assuming, as I say, that that is correct) under the relevant sentencing guidelines.
If and when I discover Alison’s new prison number, I shall publish it (and her place and address of incarceration) on the blog, so that people can send her cards, books and (via the official system) small amounts of money. During her last “stretch”, she greatly appreciated postcards and other gifts: see https://alisonchabloz.com/2022/04/13/last-post/#more-8648.

Twitter, as I have noted before, is a very strange “business”, one that has lost literally billions since it started. In fact it has only posted profit results for 2018 and 2019; all other years since its foundation have been loss-making years, often stonkingly so:
Twitter and its finances are not at all transparent, despite the huge amounts written about Twitter. Look at the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter. Lots of material but not very enlightening on finances, especially profit and loss.

Would be interesting if Arab/North African voters resident in France, and who mostly vote for Melenchon, were to take this as a signal to vote for Marine le Pen in the second, or run-off, round. That might assure her victory. Very ironic, like a Greek tragedy. Or should that be comedy?
Last year I had a nasty falling out with my sibling because I was unvaccinated. I was told in no uncertain terms that I was unwelcome to visit our parents as I "would give them covid". This same sibling currently has covid and has given it to our parents. All triple vaxxed.

The latest news is that 1,000 Ukrainian fighters have surrendered in Mariopol. Russian forces have all but taken those southern hold-out cities.
As blogged previously, the strategy now is probably to go north from the Russian-held Sea of Azov littoral, to push to and/or through Zaporozhye and Dnipro [former Dnepropetrovsk] and then north again, to meet with Russian forces pushing south/southwest from the Kharkov and Izyum areas.
As previously blogged, if the Russians can draw a line —and hold a line— approximately Kharkov-Dnipro-Zaporozhye, then all Ukrainian forces east of that line are doomed. Once that happens, attention can again turn to both Kiev and Odessa.

The post-war settlement that called itself liberal and progressive has met no real resistance since its inception. It is now a great darkening wave ready to break over us.

Readers of the blog may be aware that persecuted singer-songwriter and satirist, Alison Chabloz, will be sentenced tomorrow (Thursday 14 April 2022) for having supposedly contravened the notoriously poor Communications Act 2003, s.127. She has posted the following:
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/.

Thank you- I tried to explain this to a German Lawyer friend today (I said some serious sounding words like ‘cab rank priniciple’ and ‘queen’s council’ but I ran out of steam)- I’ll send him to this feed next time
Seems unaware that “Queen’s Counsel” is spelled thus, not “queen’s council“. Writes books on the criminal justice systems of several countries, apparently. Also, it should have read “German lawyer“, not “German Lawyer“. Oh, and “principle“, not “priniciple“…

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.
