Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scraped another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, with 5/10 as compared to his 4/10.

I knew the answers to questions 1, 2, 5, 6, and 10.

I feel that, with the passing into history of the late Queen, the Monarchy in Britain has ceased to be of any real relevance.

Charles has become a total —and very obvious— mouthpiece for the international conspiracy.

Please refer to previous comment…

That would result, using Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] in a massive Labour majority of (about) 352: Labour 501 MPs, Conservatives 74, LibDems 35. The only thing keeping the Con Party going would be its history (now trashed anyway), its assets (if any) and its name-recognition among the public.

I notice that it might also mean an undeserved boost to the LibDems, tripling their number of MPs.

Despite that polling, indicating that Reform UK might still win no seats (despite polling nationwide a point higher than the LibDems; more proof that FPTP voting is not working now in the UK), this may not be the end of the show. I think that political academic Matt Goodwin might be right in predicting a surge in support for the rather pathetic latest Farage vehicle (now notionally led by Richard Tice).

If, as Goodwin predicts might happen, Reform UK does surge to, say, 15%, and if the extra 5 points come from Con Party former voters, then the number of Con Party seats reduces to about 30, but Labour would gain, and not Reform UK, which would still be left without any MPs despite, in that scenario, scoring one and a half times the votes of the LibDems, who would end up with about 43 MPs. The voting system is broken.

The reason of course, is that (as with UKIP in 2015) Reform UK has a fairly even level of support nationwide, without the concentrations of votes in some constituencies that the LibDems have.

In fact, to start getting MPs, Reform UK will have to achieve about 18% across the board. If those votes all came from former Con voters, the Con Party vote would have to decline to 14%. In that unlikely (?) scenario, the Conservatives would be left with about 10 MPs and might fairly be said to have been wiped out.

Incidentally, on 18%, Reform UK would still only get about 1 MP.

If Reform UK can take Labour votes as well, a very different picture. Still a huge Labour majority, but the Conservatives left with a rather more respectable 80-90 seats (and LibDems with about 50). Reform UK would still only get one or two MPs, however. Very unjust (not that I have much time for Reform UK, especially after Farage and Tice recently doormatting for Israel and the Jewish lobby).

I take Goodwin’s point though (I should do— after all, I have been making it for years myself): in a situation where both main System parties are determined to do pretty much the opposite of what most voters want, even sheep-like voters start to think how to protest, in the absence of a credible social-national party. Former Con voters may abstain, or may vote (mainly) for Reform UK, maybe LibDem, or other parties; Labour dissenters who dislike Starmer and his Labour Party may protest by (mainly) voting LibDem or Green.

Both main System parties are signed up to the transnational conspiratorial agenda— funnelling blacks and browns into Europe and other formerly almost-entirely white European societies (Australia, New Zealand etc). Also, signed up to the whole globalization project, to the biosecurity pseudo-health state idea, and to the cashless society idea (thus allowing the “central power” to de-bank people, cut off funds etc at will, eventually, e.g. to punish those who say or write the “wrong” things).

At present, GE 2024 is still a year ahead, probably. The only fairly certain fact is that this Government has run out of road, and is hanging on because it cannot think of anything else to do. Indian money-juggler Sunak is as misplaced in his office as were “Boris”-idiot, Theresa May, and David Cameron-Levita; ah, I actually forgot that ridiculous “ho”, Liz Truss. She too.

Sunak will probably decamp to California by 2025 at latest. Remember that nasty little bastard Nick Clegg? He is now living in an affluent suburb near San Francisco.

We are “ruled” by cosmopolitan poseurs of that sort, totally corrupt, and their venality equalled by their incompetence.

Yes, but at present there are nearly a million unwanted migrant-invaders coming to live in the UK every year, even after emigrants are taken into account. That makes a continuing and worsening housing situation inevitable.

In a word, yes…

“Ukraine” (Kiev regime)— a failed state, a non-state.

A considerable part of the Ukrainian population might be fairly described as “blockheads” (even before they get drunk).

Please refer to previous comment.

I do not know the politics of Highgate, particularly, so cannot really comment.

Incidentally, that tweeter, John Edwards, a retired fire chief, at one time quite a few years ago would chat to me on Twitter (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), but later had his ear bent to the extent that he tweeted to people that I was “a dreadful fascist“; yet here I am supporting his right to freedom of expression. #MoralHighGround…

Anyone who votes Labour in 2024 expecting any kind of positive change in the UK from that would have to be a total idiot. However, the present Sunak Government is just so hated and despised by almost everyone (my guess, around 85%+) that, in a basically binary electoral/political system, Labour, despite the fact that it offers —realistically— nothing, is almost certain to win big next year.

Britain is now so screwed, and in almost every way, that only a total change to a social-national rulership, combined with a massive cultural and other purge, will save it, if it can be saved.

Hancock should have been tarred and feathered, along with all those in and around government promulgating the absurd “lockdowns” and other “Covid”-related nonsense.

Instead, he is given hundreds of thousands of pounds to eat snails and witchetty grubs in that ridiculous “Jungle” TV show.

My assessment of Hancock from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/09/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-matt-hancock-story/.

Well, dear readers, was I right or wrong?

See also: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/scientists-reveal-jewish-history-s-forgotten-turkish-roots-a6992076.html.

“Israeli-born geneticist believes the Turkish villages of Iskenaz, Eskenaz and Ashanaz were part of the original homeland for Ashkenazic Jews.

New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.

The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.

According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.

[The Independent]

In other words, they have no right (based on claims of ancient settlement) to the lands now known as Israel and Palestine.

There should be an institute somewhat similar to SS-Ahnenerbe which could take DNA and other evidence, in order to investigate such theories and claims.

Should not be too difficult. After all, Zelensky has ripped off tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, of US dollars, has a $50M villa in Florida, another luxury villa in Italy, probably others as well.

Talking of American “Christian Zionists”, when I lived in New Jersey, over 30 years ago, one would often see cars carrying bumper stickers, occasionally amusing. One such was that proclaiming “If the driver of this car disappears, he has gone to Rapture“, “Rapture” being the idea that the religiously “Blessed” will all be taken up and protected by higher powers as the world in general is destroyed.

Actually, there were several bumper stickers seen back then that I found amusing, such as “My wife— yes. My car— maybe. My gun— NEVER!“, and the short and rather bitter “Jane Fonda— American traitor bitch“.

Most English people do not go in for bumper stickers, though I saw one many years ago in Cornwall that said “Too close for missiles; switching to guns“, which I took to be a former Naval person of some sort.

I’ll admit it: I never really expected the Tories to cut migration by much, despite their promises. But I also didn’t expect them to double it. In fact, net migration has more than doubled since Covid. In 2019, about 227,000 more people arrived than left the UK. In the year ending December 2022, it was 745,000.

[that’s “more than tripled“, not merely “more than doubled”]

One might explain that extraordinary figure as a product of one-off factors: a catch-up after the pandemic, plus the Ukraine and Hong Kong schemes. But as of this week we have another half-year of data. In the year to June 2023, net migration still added an astonishing 672,000 to our population. So this is not an anomaly.

It is a further, massive liberalisation of Britain’s economic and social model after a period in which voters have made it overwhelmingly, blisteringly clear that they want to tighten it.

â€ĸ I don’t know plan to cut arrivals, says Badenoch

The rationale, as ever, is the fiscal bottom line. During the past couple of decades migration has increasingly been the lever pulled to smooth out structural problems in our economy, but never has it been used so dramatically. The latest uptick in numbers is driven primarily by the recruitment of overseas care workers, who were made eligible for visas only early last year. Within months, care workers began to account for a third of all long-term work visas granted by the entire British immigration system.

Why did this happen? The government’s migration quango, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), stated that visas might be used as a “temporary” measure to make up for the inability to recruit immigrants from the EU. But this “temporary” measure has led to a surge in care workers far greater than we have seen before, this time from India, Nigeria and the Philippines rather than eastern Europe. Like the previous surges, it will no doubt permanently alter the labour market.

The main effect is to prevent wages from rising and working conditions from improving. The MAC has stated for years that we do not have enough care workers because care homes don’t pay them enough. Turnover in the sector runs at 28 per cent, creating a constant need for overseas recruits.

Unfortunately, instead of solving the shortage, the new recruits mainly replace current workers. As Miriam Cates pointed out in parliament this week, the UK recruited 70,000 care workers last year but vacancies in the sector only dropped by 11,000. Meanwhile, 20,000 British staff left, making the workforce ever more reliant on visas, which in turn gives employers greater power to exploit staff and effectively shave wages further. So much for this being a temporary fix.

In most sectors, of course, we would demand to know why employers are not fixing the problem. During the chronic shortage of lorry drivers after Covid, the spotlight rightly fell on the haulage industry, which had not delivered a real-terms pay rise in the UK for more than a decade. The usual suspects declared that solving the problem without much higher migration was impossible because modern Britons are constitutionally ill-suited to driving lorries. Instead, the industry began handing out massive bonuses and the government granted more licences. Miraculously, the shortage eased.

Why can’t the care sector do the same? Quite simply, because its biggest customer is the government and the government won’t pay up. It would rather let the sector run on knife-edge margins and loosen visa requirements. In other words, it is cannibalising its own supply chain in the manner of the most short-sighted and rapacious corporate.

The stupidest part is that this will probably end up costing money rather than saving it. The data suggests that whereas EU migrants tended to pay more in taxes than they received in benefits, non-EU migrants are, on average, net recipients from the tax system. This is particularly true when they bring dependent family members, as many on the new visa scheme do, and work minimum-wage jobs, as in the care sector.

Worse, despite overseeing a huge increase in annual migration, the government has made absolutely no plan for how it will build the additional infrastructure, housing and public services capacity needed to make sure the new workers have everything they need. The Treasury does not account for these costs at all on the bottom line. Perhaps that is because it knows the government cannot build this stuff anyway — in which case, the economic cost will be reflected in overcrowding, rationing, queues, rising rents and a general deterioration in living standards.

As should be obvious, none of this is the fault of the workers themselves. And if I had a close relative in care, it is the attitudes of the staff that would interest me rather than their home continent. This is not a question of judging individuals by their background. It is a question of numbers, the pace of cultural change and the economic model this country aspires to build.”

[Juliet Samuel in the Times]

[Note: the above quoted article only became available to republish on 2 December 2023].

Woke” is a pseudo-religious belief system which views minority groups as sacred, is hostile toward the majority, subordinates individual rights behind fixed group (racial/sexual/gender) identities, opposes the objective scientific method in favour of subjective “lived experience”, & expands speech codes (“hate”, “racism”, etc) to erode free speech and try and silence critics in the name of “social justice”.

In some respects, Matt Goodwin talks a lot of sense, but his apparent adherence to the Jew-Zionist lobby rules him out, politically.

The “CAA” goblins, admitting once again (they have done so several times) that I was recently prosecuted only because they applied political pressure for that over the past two or three years.

They also admit that the “CAA” has been secretly pushing for my prosecution (on various trumped-up charges) since at least 2016, and have admitted on their website that Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet “lord” Ian Austin (the former expenses cheat MP and Israel puppet) had actually written to the Director of Public Prosecutions demanding that I be prosecuted.

Apparently, this was because tweets on my then-existing Twitter account (closed in 2018 after more pressure from the same Jew-Zionist lobby) were supposedly “antisemitic”.

Ironically, the “CAA” thus shot themselves in the foot, because the closure of my Twitter account in 2018 meant that the CPS did not have evidence sufficient to charge me —as the “CAA” and suborned police idiots wanted— with a more serious offence —absurd though that would have been— that of “incitement to racial hatred“.

Soon, the Online Harms Bill will be law. Under that law, I could not have been prosecuted at all (because “harm done” will apparently be the nub of the new law and, in my recent prosecution and trial, the Crown Prosecution Service admitted from the outset that there had been no harm done by the 5 allegedly “grossly offensive” blog posts allegedly published). Neither were they able to produce even one notional “victim”.

I suppose that the “CAA” goblins will then have to invent some “harm done” so that they can continue to repress free speech via a supine or suborned police and CPS establishment.

I did, or did not do, the same, was never affected or (maybe) infected by “Covid”, despite being a great deal older than tweeter David Morgan.

Bravo.

…and, were I to do the same (on the blog), I should probably have the Hampshire Police (“cosplaying” as a more polite kind of DDR Stasi) at my door again (as has happened several times in the past, the last such having been in 2021).

I agree. Both my (slightly younger) brothers, both amateur sportsmen all their lives, both without previous serious medical conditions (one living in the UK, one in Australia), had emergency heart operations in 2022. Both survived (one had a triple by-pass) and recovered. Anything else? Oh, yes, both had had multiple “Covid” pseudo-“vaccine” shots…

Andrew Neil was the best political interviewer in the country. His fatal flaw is his adherence to the Israel lobby and the general Jewish-Zionist lobby.

What can one say? Our political system is totally broken. A total moron such as Esther McVey can be appointed Cabinet minister only because the political system is at rock-bottom.

Idiots like her, however, are taken care of by the corrupt System even when the voters chuck them out, as happened to Esther McVey in 2015. Having lost her Commons seat, she spent 18 months as Chair of the British Transport Police Authority, despite knowing nothing about either policing or transport.

Stray thoughts

Several aspects of the initial Hamas attack on southern Israel last month struck me at the time and thereafter. First, the fact that the Gazan forces were able to plan and carry out such an operation at all. Secondly, that they were able to keep up what seems to have been complete operational security until “D-Day”. Thirdly, that it took Israeli Army forces 12 hours to arrive.

Israel is a kind of armed camp. Most citizens are liable for full-time or reserve service, Israel spends over 5% of GDP on military activity, and it is constantly on alert, yet here we see that there was a large-scale incursion at a known flashpoint (the Gaza border region), and it took Israeli forces 12 hours to respond effectively.

The relatively short distances also make that response time seem long; Tel Aviv itself is only 44 miles from the Gaza northern border, and perhaps another 10-20 miles to the scenes of attack.

There have been “conspiracy theories” asking whether this was a “Pearl Harbor”, i.e. did the Israeli Government know in advance, but allow the attack to happen, in order to have an excuse to reduce Gaza to rubble and destroy both Hamas and much of the population?

That theory sounds monstrous and also unlikely, but it cannot be ruled out, especially with factors such as the offshore oil.

I suppose that history will judge.

I remain surprised that no-one at all has taken action directe against Cameron-Levita, Osborne, Dunce Duncan Smith or others in the Con Coalition of 2010-2015, but there it is…English/British people tend to be rather tolerant and long-suffering. Many of the guilty go unpunished.

Instead of monitoring actual terrorists, the UK’s shadowy disinformation units, in liaison with the intelligence agencies and Big Tech, monitored people like me.

My “crime” on one occasion was saying that “children have wonderful immune systems” and that “I have a legal duty to safeguard children against harm”.

At the same time, psychological nudge units were employed by the UK government to encourage the public to view anyone who questioned the government as an extremist.

Members of the public, who had been evangelized by the now debunked “safe and effective” mantra, set about hunting down those who questioned government pandemic policy. Often reporting them to their employers and unleashing what I have described as Britain’s unofficial social credit system.

In other words, seeking to punish them via the complaints process and cancel culture. This Chinese Communist style censorship, and resulting self-censorship by vast numbers of the population, allowed ever more extreme policies to go unchallenged and unchecked.

For example, the government announcing that a child would not require parental consent to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Or the government ignoring the advice of the JCVI and pushing ahead with the rollout for children.

It is hardly surprising that there are increasing reports of traditional terrorists and radicalised behaviour within the UK. While the likes of the 77th Brigade were all eyes on British citizens who were critical of government Covid policy, they were all eyes off the real terrorists and threats to our national security.

If the @covidinquiryuk is to be worth the eye watering cost it will eventually rack up, it must address the egregious way the State went about silencing dissenting voices during the pandemic.”

Sobering.

Sunak, the Indian money-juggler, is just another Israel puppet or “monkey-on-a-stick”.

Is Douglas Murray inciting civil war in the UK? What is he doing?

“Tommy Robinson” makes common cause with Douglas Murray:

A half-truth is still a half-lie. Jewish-lobby mouthpiece Douglas Murray is not completely wrong about the non-British influxes, including the migration-invasion, but —of course— says nothing about the Jew-Zionist influence which has undermined Britain’s way of life for many decades in a number of ways; culturally, politically etc.

It is quite possible to oppose the Gaza slaughter, oppose the evil Israeli invasion of Gaza, and the slaughter of children etc, and yet be firmly on the side of (real) British values, including “race and nation” and/or “race and culture”, and against Jew-Zionist supremacism both in the Middle East and Europe.

Nick Griffin is onto it:

Douglas Murray – upper class, homosexual, no children, highly paid by neocon and Zionist foundations – is cold-bloodedly winding up a “very brutal” civil war in the UK.

He won’t be there. He has no sons to be there. He has total contempt for working class Brits. You’ll not find him holding a gun, planting a bomb or cleaning up brains and guts. That’s your role – peasants!

When the BNP raised the very real problems of Pakistani grooming gangs and anti-white racist violence, he did nothing except sneer & condemn us. But now he is talking up a non-existent ‘threat’ – to a stone monument that was built as a sop because the elite wouldn’t pay to bring our dead home from their obscene Western Front – to wind us up to bring Israel’s war to our streets.

Why? Because his paymasters want us to support genocide in Gaza and go to war against Iran – one of the nations that stood up to and defeated ISIS and Al Qaeda.

There ARE real problems in the Britain that he and the rest of ‘our’ ruling class have created, and the British have plenty to be angry about – as have UK Muslims. But a new flood of refugees and a 30-year war won’t solve anything. So stop trying to start one, Murray, you disgusting, warmongering excuse for a human being!

[Nick Griffin].

Well said, Griffin, though “upper class” is stretching it a bit! Murray’s parents were neither titled nor wealthy (father a civil servant, mother a schoolteacher), and Murray attended local primary, comprehensive and Roman Catholic schools in the Hammersmith and Ealing areas of London before spending a year at Eton, in the 6th form, on a scholarship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Murray_(author).

I think that what we are seeing here is one of the latest forms of “controlled opposition”: pro-Israel, pro-Jewish-lobby, anti-immigration (superficially), and anti any real social nationalism.

Murray is there, as we just saw, in the leather club chairs, hamming up the pseudo-Establishment “cosplay”, while “Tommy Robinson”, co-incidentally (?) just released from Twitter/X jail (along with Katie Hopkins), stirs up the untutored masses against the Palestine protest marches etc.

The aim seems to be to sunder the two parts of what might have become a pro-social-nationalist but anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish-lobby, movement.

Thus the potentially “British nationalist” masses end up controlled —in ideology, or literally— by the Douglas Murrays, the Tommy Robinsons, the Katie Hopkins’s. The huge numbers of white British people who hate what Israel is doing in Gaza are outflanked, and forced into the false choice of being either pro-Israel and pro-Jewish (and superficially pro-Brit, and pro-Union Jack flagwaving), or anti-Palestine marches and also pro-immigration.

Murray retails the old “paradox of liberalism”, i.e. that a liberal society has to be illiberal towards illiberal persons or tendencies in order to preserve its liberal character.

That is frequently seen pushed out by the Jew-Zionist lobby. Indeed, it forms a secondary element in my own rapidly-upcoming trial, in which I shall stand up for free speech and freedom of expression against a Zionist-corrupted police and prosecution set-up.

The result of that paradox, as applied in practice, is that those with whom the System has no problem have almost unlimited free speech (e.g. cheap msm comedians and entertainers, corrupt pro-Israel politicos such as Nigel Farage etc), but those who pose a real, even if only germinal, threat to the System (any real social-national thinkers or activists) are jumped upon and as good as banned.

[Update, 28 December 2024: the results of my free speech trial held in November 2023, well over a year ago…

Stephen Silverman, the malicious Jew-Zionist previously notorious for being a pseudonymous troll on social media (harassing women, in particular), and who is the self-styled “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the tiny but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], described (on the “CAA” website) my sentence (a “community order”, and fine and costs totalling ÂŖ734), as “shockingly lenient“; the ridiculous nuisance.

Well, I am still here, I still have all my flesh and blood, and the blog is still being published on a near-daily basis…].

Late thought re. Suella Braverman

Obviously a Jewish-lobby puppet, like her predecessor, Priti Patel. What, though, is her gameplay?

To my way of thinking, she knows that this pseudo-“Conservative Party” government has no chance whatever it does. I think that it had, until quite recently, but not now. The obvious fact that Sunak has decided to hang on until the last possible moment (late 2024) speaks volumes to the voters. It says “I am afraid to submit myself to a general election”.

In strict Constitutional terms, Sunak and, before Sunak, Liz Truss, had no need to hold a general election, but as far as most voters are concerned, that smacks of fear and desperation.

On the above premises, what is Suella Braverman thinking? My view is that she is setting out her stall to be elected as Sunak’s successor. If she says inflammatory things and is sacked, then it says “I was too honest to stay in Sunak’s weak government”, but if she is not sacked, another message says “Sunak is a lame duck, and dare not sack me”.

Either way, Suella Braverman only has 12 months left in government, so she has little to lose.

Not a legitimate Home Secretary but yet another horrible mongrel elevated with little merit to a high political position in our country.

Israeli propaganda“. Quite. Jewish broadcaster Emily Maitlis, having now left the BBC, is free to blast out Israeli propaganda. In fact, I notice that Jewish-lobby or Israel-lobby mouthpieces are everywhere today on the TV, radio, social media. Emily Maitlis, Michael Portillo, even “Tommy Robinson”.

Looks like it has been co-ordinated to some degree. Even not-famous Jews are tweeting the same sort of stuff. Such as? Oh, “getting bombed is your fault if you are a small child in Gaza, because either your family knows someone who supports Hamas, or because you might grow up to be anti-Israel” etc. Or, “the people of Gaza are not poor because the Israelis control most of the utilities, and prevent much economic activity, and also exploit Palestinian day-labourers by chiselling their low pay, but because of Hamas”. And so on.

Britain is, in its own way, almost as “occupied”…

Incidentally, Portillo has discarded for a day his popular and pleasant railway monologue character, and reverted to the old harsh persona many will remember from the 1990s, when he thought himself quite likely to become Prime Minister one day.

Town planning thoughts

Since the recent contretemps began, and in fact for long before that, I have been struck by the quite pleasant layout of many of the newer Israeli towns and settlements. Wide main streets, plenty of green spaces and trees, an absence of litter. What a contrast to Gaza!

Of course, part of that is by reason of the “apartheid“-style socio-economic situation in Israel/Palestine, and parallels South Africa in the pre-ANC days. That, however, is not the whole truth. I have seen some of the cities and towns in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, and some look not much different to Gaza.

Well of course the proper purpose of NATO, the “parrying” of Soviet expansionism, disappeared along with the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, over 30 years ago. Now, it is basically the battering-ram for the New World Order (NWO) conspiracy.

The Israeli Jews have been carrying out atrocities of that sort for a long time; decades. Do they really think that they can do so endlessly, without any retribution? Look at the past month or so, compared to what was open to the Palestinian Arabs in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, or even much of the past 20 years. There has been a step-change.

Yes, Israel’s power is still dominant in the region, and especially over that of the Palestinian Arabs, but for how long?

Ukraine

I predicted throughout that Russia could not lose, strategically. I also predicted that the Kiev-regime counter-offensive would get nowhere. The “experts” said the opposite. They were wrong.

I have just seen a brief piece by Frank Gardner on ITV News. “Ukraine is in real trouble“, he now admits.

Still, Frank Gardner has an interesting background…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gardner_(journalist).

…but the Jews, both in Israel and in countries such as the UK, still whine that they are “victims”. Always “victims” of (incomprehensible) “antisemitism”…

The Israelis have advanced navigational and targeting aids, so strikes like that are cold-blooded and entirely deliberate. War crimes.

I think that I recall seeing a short film about those Jew thieves. About (?) 20 years ago.

What interests me is the speed of the police response. Of course, no background or context is provided.

Parasites. Meanwhile, British people, including families and ex-soldiers, are sleeping in the streets or in substandard accommodation.

Labour Party drones are rubbish, of course, but the present Government has betrayed everything and everyone (except the Jewish lobby and Israel…). The misnamed “Conservatives” have to be eliminated at the 2024 GE, even at the cost of a Starmer “elected” dictatorship. One thing at a time.

Outright murder. This is not war but callous and indeed deliberate slaughter of the non-combatant population. It is far less merciful than the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943.

Many a true word spoken in jest…I remember a visitor from the Soviet Union, one Alex (not the MP above, of course), joking with me during a similar prison accommodation crisis (in 1987, I think, and seen on Channel 4 News) that the British Government should make a deal with the Soviet Government to house Brit convicts. Alex said that he could guarantee that the Soviet Government would turn a profit on it.

He ought to have known, he himself having been arrested and convicted, on entirely invented evidence, of having been a spy for a number of secret services. He had been about 18 at the time, and the arrest came in 1948, the peak of the postwar purge. He had then spent 5 years in a camp in the region of Archangel in Northern Russia. Stalin’s death in 1953 had saved him, and millions of others, from longer or worse.

Incidentally, her basic salary at John Lewis has been ÂŖ990,000 p.a., nearly three times her previous salary (for 4 years) as head of OFCOM.

She has other revenue streams as well.

Incidentally, I myself often use Waitrose, which is part of the John Lewis Group. The decline , particularly since 2020, has been sad to see. The range and also quality of fruit and vegetables is much reduced, the formerly stellar customer service has almost gone, and there have been other disagreeable changes, while the prices have soared.

Hard to know where to place the blame, though, in circumstances where we have seen Brexit, the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, the pathetic anti-Covid “measures” put in place, staff shortages locally, and general inflation.

The other day, I bought a small bottle of (40%/Vol) Kirsch. About ÂŖ9.50. A few years ago, the price was ÂŖ6.50 or ÂŖ7. Hardly a typical everyday purchase, even for me, but not dissimilar to other items in its increased cost.

No wonder most Ukrainians are trying to avoid or evade being used as cannon-fodder.

Collapsed support: a major failure?” For the second day in a row, the German Bild informs its readers that all is lost – despair reigns in Kiev, the situation is critical, and Western supporters are inclined to negotiate. “Soldier fatigue” is one of the biggest dangers.

At the same time, it is absolutely obvious: the situation for Ukraine has not become any less, but even more threatening! The counteroffensive is going less successfully than the Ukrainians and the West would like. The number of victims is extremely high. There is no necessary support in arms from the West. And Russia can produce more per day than the West, despite the sanctions.”

Conservative Party Conference

Saw a few minutes of Sunak’s speech. Pretty pathetic. The HS2 fiasco has become symbolic. Not that I was ever anything other than opposed to the ridiculous vanity project anyway, but now we have massive cost, massive environmental damage etc, but no useful train line at all, just a line that goes to or from Birmingham but only to an outer suburb of London, thus losing its purpose altogether. As said, pathetic.

It seems that Sunak is trying to portray himself as a Prime Minister, when the whole country knows that his popularity (as was that of even more useless Liz Truss) has never been tested via General Election. The longer Sunak holds on, and the longer he puts off a General Election, the worse his position is likely to become. However, if a general election were to be held this year, the result would almost certainly be a disaster for the Conservative Party, and the number of its MPs likely be reduced to around 100, maybe only 50 or so. Therefore, the circus will have to continue into 2024, maybe until December 2024.

Diary Blog, 21 September 2023, with material about freedom of expression, Russell Brand, Caroline Dinenage, and 77th Brigade

Caroline Dinenage, Russell Brand, the 77th Brigade, and freedom of expression

A sign of the times, at one with bank staff deciding to “de-bank” (cut off banking services from) people with the “wrong” sort of socio-political views, and the UK police taking the side of the corruptors of society, and getting involved in the persecution and prosecution of people such as myself who are trying to defend European civilization and culture.

Caroline Dinenage seems to have written to other persons and organizations in the same way:

Caroline Dinenage, however, has less influence than she seems to think:

Of course, the hell of this sort of situation is that one is forced to defend, by default, persons for whom one has no liking —or even interest— in general, such as Russell Brand.

Interesting. Having never taken any interest in Caroline Dinenage, I had no idea that she was that kind of slut. Still, who knows the ins and out of such situations, which would usually be considered part of a politician’s purely personal life, and not usually a matter for public discussion. Things happen, as they say…

In the interests of fairness, I should add that at least she belongs to Conservatives Against Foxhunting.

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

Interestingly, Caroline Dineage’s present husband, Mark Lancaster, a former Conservative Party MP who, despite his own apparently-bad behaviour, now sits in the House of Lords as Baron Lancaster of Kimbolton, was 2-i-c of the “dark arts” 77th Brigade for two years (2018-2020), and carried the rank of Colonel.

Lancaster, who was a mere 2nd Lieutenant when serving for 2 years in the regular Army (Royal Engineers, 1988-1990), afterwards achieved regular seniority in the TA (now, the Reserves), and completed three tours of active service overseas. He is now Director, Reserves, and carries the rank of Major-General.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77th_Brigade_(United_Kingdom)#Role_and_composition.

[Mark Lancaster, Baron Lancaster of Kimbolton, photographed wearing uniform bearing the insignia of a Lieutenant-Colonel of the British Army]

So we have Caroline Dinenage who is Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport, and then her husband, a Conservative life peer who was second-in-command of 77th Brigade and its interference with Internet information and/or disinformation.

Then we have the “cancellation” of the admittedly unpleasant Russell Brand who, however, has apparently been on a socio-political journey placing him in opposition to the “dark powers” who have such influence in our society.

In relation to the “cancellation” of the Russell Brand character, and the letters and emails sent by Caroline Dinenage, that is all rather relevant, nicht wahr? I wonder whether I am the first person to have spotted the linkage.

The System is using Brand as a kind of stalking horse; to put it another way, taking down the low-hanging fruit, i.e. the easy targets first…

…doubts are growing over the future of US assistance, with hardline Republicans saying they won’t approve funding to prevent a US government shutdown if it includes aid for Ukraine.

Zelensky’s trip to Washington – his second during wartime – is a dramatic departure from the first in December 2022, when he secretly flew in and received a hero’s welcome at the White House and on Capitol Hill. 

This time he is desperate to drum up support and win over skeptical lawmakers, insisting that Kyiv needs continued funding as well as a beefing up of air defences after Moscow hit Ukraine with another barrage of missiles overnight. 

The Ukrainian leader is under added pressure to secure US support after Poland sensationally declared it would no longer arm Ukraine amid a row over grain exports in a move sure to delight Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. As to Poland, it should keep those weapons for Poland’s own use; that might be necessary if the NWO/ZOG powers keep stoking the new Cold War/hot war.

BBC Newsnight

I happened to see a 10-minute report from BBC Newsnight about the protests in Wales and elsewhere around the migration invasion and, especially, protests caused by the commandeering of hotels to house the migrant-invaders.

What can one say? A rehash, pretty much, of all the similar dog***t TV reports on the so-called “far right” that I have ever seen, going right back to the mid-1970s. The only difference was the cross-Channel boat invasion aspect. In the past, we had an effective Navy, Coastguard, and police force (and courts), and were not being quite literally invaded by hundreds each day in small boats.

As always with such dull repetitive reports on TV, the assumption from the start is that anyone who wants to stop the migration-invasion is bad through and through, and the TV drone “reporting” (always) rubs that in with suggestions that (“ooh!“) some people actually think that Adolf Hitler was in many ways a positive influence, and that (“ooh!“) it might have been a good idea had the Second World War never happened. And so on.

Another aspect of Newsnight’s “report” which has been part of pretty much every similar TV show I have seen from 1975 to the present is the “honest local person” who has legitimate (minor) grievances (ie that could, it is implied, be dealt with by better admin etc) about matters such as migrant-invaders being housed in local hotels. Such “honest locals” invariably (as in the Newsnight report) decry any “far right” “infiltration” into their local protests.

This is what the Soviet Press and TV used to do. By all means protest (quietly) locally, and ask the Government to do things better, but do not question the whole policy, or the agenda behind it. In this case, yes, by all means protest about your local hotel being taken over, but do not say that the migration-invasion should be stopped, and do not protest about the black-brown migrant-invaders on a national or racial basis, and do not ask what is the agenda behind the migration-invasion (the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, in this case).

In the Newsnight report, there were two approved “honest locals” in two places, one an exhibitionistic fat woman who is, apparently, a local councillor in the Wigan area. She deplored the way “her” protest was “infiltrated” (ie outnumbered) by Patriotic Alternative and other protesters.

Needless to say, the views of the Patriotic Alternative and other people were only given briefly, and in such a way that they could be trashed.

There were two (if you like) “expert witnesses” as well: fat cat “Conservative” truffle-snuffler Tim Loughton (a noted expenses freeloader: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Loughton), who thought that the people who had to be, as he put it, “guarded against” were not the migrant-invaders but the “far right”…

The other “expert” was the egregious Neil Basu, a mixed-race ex-policeman whose chosen role (apart from expostulating about “racism”) is that of “counter-terrorism” etc. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Basu.

Basu seemed to be saying that anyone alive to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, or who wants an end to the migration-invasion (which must surely destroy our society within one or two generations) is a “terrorist“.

It is that kind of muddled thinking that has led the UK police to where they are today— almost useless at their proper job, while (many of them) spend their time on duty playing at “counter-terrorism” and acting like a poundland KGB, as I blogged 5 years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

In the Zaporozhye region, the Ukrainian army launched new attacks in the Orekhov-Rabotino sector. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are intensifying their attacks to break through the anti-tank ditch and reach Verbovoye, but there are no signs of previous massive attacks. A large number of infantry groups of 10 to 15 people are trying to advance under Russian artillery and tank fire. Half of them are scattered during the advance stages, and the rest are destroyed by mortars, grenade launchers and FPV drones after reaching the ditch.”

Zelensky knows that the only hope for the Kiev regime is to drag NATO into direct war with Russia, though that would trigger a major European war, and quite possibly an East-West nuclear exchange.

There still seems to be a problem embedding tweets seen to this blog. Whether that is so by reason of some general situation or whether it applies to my blog alone, I have no idea (and lack the computing skills that might resolve the issue).

In the meantime, I shall have to change the format of the blog by not exhibiting tweets seen, which is a nuisance. Perhaps the matter will resolve.

Popular blog post from 2019

From the newspapers

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/23946849/moment-teen-driver-ploughs-into-dog-walker/

Horrifying video shows Ms Faulkener walking along the side of the road in Great Barr, Birmingham before his black Renault Clio slams into her, throwing her into a bush.

Aish, who was 17 at the time, immediately fled the scene – and was only caught when cops released the CCTV showing his car.

Aish admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving without a licence and insurance, criminal damage as well as possession of cannabis back in 2021.

He was finally sentenced today to 22 months, suspended for 18 months, after proceedings were delayed as he had been receiving treatment for cancer, reports Mail Online.

Mrs Faulkner suffered a broken leg and concussion while her dog was fatally injured.

A victim impact statement to the court said her dog was “my world, an absolutely wonderful dog.”

She added: “I can’t understand how anybody could leave a dying dog alone in pain. I will forever miss her. Nothing will replace her.”

[The Sun]

Far too lenient, on the surface, but the sentencing judge obviously took the surrounding facts into account: see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12513947/Outrage-unlicensed-driver-seriously-injured-dog-walker-75-killed-pet-losing-control-country-lane-avoids-jail-judge-heard-later-suffered-karma-skull-shattered-hit-run.html.

The Mail report above gives more facts. I still think that the defendant was treated pretty leniently, though.

The msm call it “knife crime”, but really it is —mostly, though not entirely— black/brown thug crime.

In the same online newspaper, I noticed another example of the wonderful “diversity” we now “enjoy” in the UK: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/jewellery-thief-fled-cardiff-store-27664170?int_source=nba.

Incredible. In the 1970s, when social conditions in the UK, Australia, (West) Germany etc were actually better, overall, than now (in my view), there were all sorts of “urban guerrilla” and similar groups around, such as the German “Rote Armee Fraktion”, aka Baader-Meinhoff gang, playing at revolutionary war. Now, you have selfish ultra-wealthy individuals, such as the one featured in that report, saying that the bulk of the population (of Australia, in his case) should be pretty much ground underfoot, yet with little pushback beyond social media tweets or comments.

The ageing population of the West is quiescent, all but dormant. Very strange, at least to me. It may be that the ageing of the Western populations is key; surely that cannot be the whole picture, though?

Ukraine news

A popular uprising against the Zelensky regime will begin in Ukraine this winter This forecast was announced on Wednesday, September 13, in his YouTube blog by Oleg Soskin, a former adviser to Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. He explained that Zelensky and his clique usurped power in the country and established a dictatorship, taking advantage of martial law.

The adviser is confident that the revolutionary situation has matured in all elements of the system: social, demographic, political, economic, financial. He recalled that a similar situation existed in the eighties and nineties. According to Soskin, the revolutionary situation will move into the stage of a new Maidan in the coming winter, when public utilities will stop working.

“When there is no light, no water, neither hot nor cold, when the sewage system does not work, when it all freezes, when there are various regional blackouts, God forbid, a central blackout throughout the country, then, of course, the people will start,” – confident expert.

According to him, the start of the revolution will also be facilitated by the onset of famine and the collapse of transport logistics amid a lack of fuel. “When the cars don’t run, the cities don’t get cleaned up, food can’t be delivered to populated areas, then mass protests will begin,” predicted Kuchma’s ex-adviser.

The story of how Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) derailed the train of state in a mere 7 weeks. Interesting read.

Among other things, it confirms my view of several years that Liz Truss was (she’s finished politically now) a Poundland Thatcher, but with none of Thatcher’s real grit and steel, and none of Thatcher’s incisive political brain (whatever the several faults of the “Iron Lady” may have been).

Diary Blog, 16 July 2023, including thoughts about Neil Oliver, Andrew Bridgen , and a hostile GP

Morning music

Neil Oliver

I noticed that a Twitter lynch-mob has been attacking dissident broadcaster Neil Oliver over the past day or two after he had a dialogue with a doctor who disagreed with him on one or two issues. The Twitter mob have been trashing Oliver not only about the medical questions which were the subject of the show (on, apparently, GB News) but also Oliver’s whole past history, his TV shows on archaeology, his views in general, the way he looks, speaks etc.

Many of the Twitter mob claimed (and at time of writing, are still claiming) that the doctor in question completely defeated Oliver. Also, that Oliver (and MP Andrew Bridgen) had no right to speak because said doctor is a doctor, and so of course (?) knew more than they do.

Well, is that last so? I did not watch the discussion (in fact I have never seen GB News and am unsure whether my TV can even receive its broadcasts) but the said doctor is, as I understand it, an ordinary GP, not a specialist in vaccines or, indeed, viruses.

What interests me is how there is this superficially huge number of persons on Twitter (though probably not even a tenth of 1% of the general population) who are willing to join in with others of their sort to create a Twitterstorm which, in terms of real effects in the real world, makes not a ripple in society or the body politic.

The sheer hatred of their vituperative tweets is incredible. These are, more or less, the “anti-racists”, and/or those who mostly believe every last (and latest, and unexamined) detail of the Jew-Zionist so-called “holocaust” farrago, and who “support” (by having little Ukrainian flags on their Twitter profile) “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev). Most probably support such as the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, no doubt echo “refugees welcome” slogans (and so what if most of the migrant invaders are in reality not “refugees”), and prefer not to think of the impact of the invading hordes on British health services, housing, social cohesion, crime and, down the line, pay and conditions of employment. Oh, no, that’s for “the Government” to worry about.

I would be prepared to bet that pretty much the same bloc of Twitter posters support the “trans” nonsense, are “anti-Tory” (while —most of them— somehow believing that Labour-label under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will be far better), and that almost all of them will identify with Remain/Rejoin and, of course, “FBPE”.

The Twit-mob lynch-mob of today is a contemporary version of the Stalinist or Orwellian “daily hate”. Examples seen today on Twitter:

Work in a charity bookshop and it’s very noticeable that we can’t give Neil Oliver history books away. They used to be steady sellers. Same for Starkey and Johnson. History book buyers avoiding like the plague and GBNews viewers can’t read.

If there was ever going to be a Scottish UnaBomber it would be Neil Oliver.

Neil Oliver was always a biased clown, even on his “history” programs – now he’s just plain lost his mind.

“No need to present evidence to dismiss the crazy claims of Neil Oliver and fellow loonies.”

There are hundreds of tweets like that, all from people who think that they know things, and they think that they “know” purely because they believe, by default, various System and msm sources.

They cannot bear even seeing a dissident opinion.

Opinion polls in the UK seem to be showing that censorship, “no-platforming”, “cancelling” etc are becoming more popular, especially among the young.

As far as I am concerned, if people are becoming more and more like easily-corralled sheep, then such people are not worth having in our society, and read that how you like.

Is that true, or just jingoistic hot air? I have no idea.

I am unsure at present whether there are being concentrated Russian forces in Belarus with the aim of launching an offensive south, toward Kiev, or whether those forces are there to keep Kiev-regime forces tied down on or near the Ukraine-Belarus border, so as to prevent the deployment of the Kiev-regime forces to the southeast regions, notably Donetsk and Lugansk, where most of the active combat is happening.

Russia is obviously not short of trucks, which is interesting.

Another Kiev-regime press-gang. They have few volunteers now, and are running out of cannon-fodder.

Britain should be politely distant with China, friendly with Russia, and hostile only to (((you know who))) and other untermenschen…

There is no “after this conflict“. Either Russia effectively “wins” the conflict (whether by negotiation or in the field), or the whole thing turns into a general Eastern European and Central European war between Russia and NATO, which might or might not go nuclear.

Whatever or whichever, there will be few more UK troops in Ukraine. In any case, the British Army is almost non-existent now in terms of major field presence. Take away the office bods, clerks, rear-echelon elements, and the whole brass-hat staff officer element (etc, meaning all non-combatant units), and I doubt that the UK could field, overseas, more than about 20,000 active troops, at most.

Who cares what Ben Wallace says, anyway? His military service consisted of 7 years in the Scots Guards (1991-1998), during which he attained the modest rank of captain. His subsequent pronouncements have been mostly idiotic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician).

Incidentally, we need not take his decision to stand down as MP at the next general election (presumably in 2024) as having been prompted by anything based on principle.

Wallace’s Commons seat, Wyre and Preston North, is set to be abolished via boundary changes, so were Wallace to wish to stay in the Commons, he would have to find another seat quite soon, almost impossible in view of the expected Conservative Party mass wipeout at the (2024?) general election.

I suppose that Wallace will now be looking for some well-paid business sinecure, combined with a nice ÂŖ350-taxfree-per-day House of Lords peerage in Sunak’s resignation honours list.

That’s 282 mph…

The Zelensky cabal counting their chickens before they are hatched.

No reaction so far from the usual Western “human rights” parasites about the plan to expel 800,000 Russians from their homes in Crimea, something akin to the deportations carried out by Stalin or (to a far lesser extent) Hitler.

In fact, the Kiev regime is engaged in “pie-in-the-sky” politics. Putin and the Russian Government (and people) will never allow the Kiev regime to annex Crimea again. If there were any real danger of that, the Russian forces would use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield and, if that were not enough to stop any annexation, a strategic nuclear missile or two on Kiev itself. In that event, “goodbye Zelensky” or at least his corrupt and brutal government.

A Spy Among Friends

Watched about 10 mins of the new TV spy drama, A Spy Among Friends. Had I known that it was about Philby, I should probably not have bothered. I do not have a lot of time for the so-called “master spy” whose reputation was and still is the most inflated since Mata Hari. No need to go into all that now, though.

I am rather impatient with films and TV dramas. If they bore or irritate me in the first 10-15 mins, I rarely watch on. In this case, there were invented scenes, which may have been inevitable, but some of them lacked any credibility. For example, there was a West Indian involved in the first few minutes, highly unlikely in 1963. Also, the show pushed, in those opening minutes, the buttons of all the known cliches about Philby— cricket, booze, womanizing etc.

It is true that Philby, had he become Chief of SIS, would have been a “master spy” or “legendary agent” (“legendary” in more ways than one). Not because (or primarily because) he would have been able to give the KGB secrets at all levels, but mainly because he would have been in a position to cripple SIS strategically, structurally; even more important, he would also have been in a position to deliberately mis-advise the Prime Minister and other ministers, and to point them in the wrong direction strategically.

It never happened. Philby was found by General Kalugin to be living in a permanently intoxicated state in his apartment in Gorky Street (now once again Tverskaya Street). Kalugin, and Philby’s last wife, Rufina, sobered him up somewhat, and Kalugin gave him mentoring work to do.

I myself was slightly acquainted in the early 1990s with a former KGB officer (turned businessman) called “Ed” (Edvard, from the Baltic regions or pribaltika), who told me at lunch in Hall at Lincoln’s Inn in 1994 (I think) that he had once heard a lecture by Philby at the Lubyanka. That lecture must have been late 1970s, or maybe early 1980s.

Though Philby claimed publicly in January 1988 that he did not regret his decisions and that he missed nothing about England except some friends, Colman’s mustard and Lea & PerrinsWorcestershire sauce,[84] his wife Rufina Ivanovna Pukhova later described Philby as “disappointed in many ways” by what he found in Moscow. “He saw people suffering too much,” but he consoled himself by arguing that “the ideals were right but the way they were carried out was wrong. The fault lay with the people in charge.”[85] Pukhova said, “he was struck by disappointment, brought to tears. He said, ‘Why do old people live so badly here? After all, they won the war.'”[86] Philby drank heavily and suffered from loneliness and depression; according to Rufina, he had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists some time in the 1960s.”

Assuming that the above is accurate, Philby’s only very superficial understanding of politics, geopolitics, history, and economics is almost too obvious.

Even were A Spy Among Friends better than my first impressions, I would probably not bother with it, because at root, Philby just does not much interest me.
