Historical film

[“1945, Belorussky Station (Moscow)— the first train of victory arrives in Moscow“]

Every war, every side in every war, has its rights and wrongs. No side has a monopoly on good or evil, either. That is why historical revisionism is so important, and why laws purporting to criminalize historical examination and debate are so wrongheaded.

The simulacrum of the human” [anon.]

[“The law is black and white, but it’s also subjective which is influenced by current social norms and the political climate.

This is why the Overton window being pushed is so important so speech “offences” get harder and harder to be policed.

People have not been able to talk this freely online – or publicly hold the views that they have – for quite some time. It wasn’t even that long ago you could get banned from social media platforms – or have a knock on the door – for simply stating men can’t become women.

We are obviously nowhere near out of the woods yet with all of this but Elon Musk buying X has most certainly bought us some time with fixing everything going on here in England, Europe, and the Anglosphere.

In my spare time, I have spoken to quite a few people who have been persecuted by the State for speech offences who probably wouldn’t even get a knock on the door these days for the most part.

Hearing these stories has been tough and what they have gone through for “thoughtcrimes” is abhorrent.

Independent thought isn’t a crime, and these silencing tactics is Bolshevism 101.

Our government has a lot to answer for for what it’s done to their citizens for all these years. This is straight up treason.“]

A law student from Plymouth, I think.

Strange co-incidence. I just happened today upon an old email (from well over 20 years ago), sent to me by a girl law student from Plymouth, and thanking me for talking with her and answering questions she had had. She wrote that her talk with me had decided her to continue with her degree course and to go into the practice of law.

I had forgotten about meeting that girl (at an evening reception put on by a university law faculty at a yacht club in Plymouth, and to which a number of barristers, solicitors, and judges had been invited).

I just looked up the individual’s name, to see whether she was mentioned as either solicitor or barrister (I should add that her name is rather unusual). Turns out that, after starting out at the Bar, she had switched to the solicitors’ branch, and is now a partner in a fairly large UK/international law firm, specializing in corporate/commercial work.

Life’s long and winding road is straighter for some than for others.

I have been saying exactly that for months, even years. Farage and Tice cannot see it, because they themselves are really conservatives of a kind, and see nothing wrong with making common cause with unpleasant idiots such as Nadine Dorries and Robert Jenrick.

Britain needs social nationalism, but there is no credible party; in fact, there is no party at all.

Unwise, to say the least, though it does cut the ground from under Kemi Badenoch.

Still fairly open, but with Labour not looking like winners, at this stage.

“Legendary” is close to “mythical”…

Many years ago, in 2015, when Burnham was standing for Labour leadership, I described him as “the best of a very poor bunch” (of 4 candidates). Yes, better than the others, but still a System puppet.

This country is collapsing before our eyes.

I wonder how many white British people are MPs, high-ranking civil servants etc in India, China, Nigeria, the Caribbean, Pakistan etc. That’s right— there are none.

Interesting to think that one nuclear missile at the right time would eliminate hundreds, thousands of major global conspirators, but of course that will not happen.

In that case, Iran might as well fire all of its missiles at Israel, immediately, before the Americans and Israelis can destroy them; the missiles would have to be preceded by thousands of drones to take out the Israeli anti-missile missile defence matrix.

Rubbish, but look at that clip. American naval power is awesome.

Incidentally, the flagship (aircraft carrier) appears to be flying a Ukrainian flag from its bridge.

Look at the female prison guards now constantly getting caught out having affairs with male prisoners, and helping with their criminal conspiracies.

A microcosm of the whole society, where things are gradually —or not so gradually— ceasing to work properly, or at all. Prisons, police, courts and legal system, border control, NHS, social care, education, almost all aspects of the central and local bureaucracy, the socio-political contract (eg the large number of multi-billionaires while most people struggle), the political system…

Of course, the fish rots from the head.

You couldn’t make it up.

That ridiculous black waste of space sits there, making hundreds of thousands a year in salary, expenses, “donations” and other corruption, letting the UK slide into chaos, while those of us who should really be occupying the seats of power and influence are ignored, and/or repressed by a hostile state and the Jew-Zionist lobby.

Talking point

Of course, such a graph is misleading in that the SNP only gets about 3% of the UK national vote, but about 50% of the vote in Scottish Westminster seats. The SNP may get 40+ seats next time, and thus be the 4th or 5th-largest party in the Commons, depending on how badly the Conservative Party does.

Eventually, the slide to chaos may create, a few years down the line, a need for a “Britischer Freikorps“.

I have actually been inside Wandsworth Prison, sometime around 1994, though only as an official legal visitor (barrister), there to consult with a lay client who was an abscondee or deserter from the Angolan Security Service. I was escorted inside the prison by a polite older type of prison officer (guard). There was discussion about the nice flower beds there. In other words, my experience was very different from that of a prisoner or, indeed, a family member visiting an inmate.

Inside, my conference took place in a rather odd room with pipes along the ceiling and walls, all painted a kind of depressing Victorian pale green. As I went in, I could see, not too far away, what looked like prisoners walking round in a large circle, some wearing civilian clothes, so presumably on remand awaiting trial. Though not smelly, the prison interior exuded a kind of slightly unclean ambience; hard to describe. As if it all needed a thorough clean.

That was over 30 years ago. Looks as though the prison, along with others, has since descended into chaos.

One thing about that Sky News report puzzles me; I have noticed the same previously. Why do so many of the UK’s urban “criminal classes”, even the seemingly white British ones, talk in a kind of pseudo-Jamaican patois? Maybe Lammy could answer that question, at least (?).

The UK could be getting oil and gas at cost, maybe even below cost, from Russia, dependent on UK foreign policy stances, but the System parties refuse to negotiate what could be a huge boon for the British people.

I suppose that at least Lammy can claim (or can he?) that (unlike Starmer-stein and Rachel “from Accounts” Reeves) he buys his own clothing).

That lady fails to add that, in the said 2016 by-election, she scored only 173 votes (0.4% of the votes cast), and came 5th, after the Monster Raving Loony Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Park_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

As for her pretend party, called “the Moderates”, I have blogged before that I think its membership consists solely of the empty bottles in her kitchen.

Why not?

Britain is swamped by such criminals, cheating the elderly etc. Yes, some are based overseas, so are not easily hauled before English courts. They too should be targeted, though, and covertly punished. They will learn that their legs are not as long as the claws of justice. It is about time that SIS did something useful for the British people.

Good news, as far as it goes.

Ghislaine Maxwell case

Just watched a Netflix documentary about the Ghislaine Maxwell case. Not bad, but it said nothing about the aspects of the Epstein matter that interest me the most, i.e. the Israeli Intelligence connection, the tie-ups with the Trilateral Commission, NWO/ZOG etc.

The whole “Maxwell” clan showed up for her trial in New York. Send them back to the ghettos from which they emerged.

Lisa Nandy— another corrupt Labour Friends of Israel enemy of the people.

Would mean a Commons with about 442 Reform MPs (massive majority), 57 Greens (can that be right?), 42 SNP, 41 LibDems, 21 Lab, and 12 cons (etc).

That really would be a revolution in British terms. Effectively the end, certainly arguably, and plausibly, for both the “Conservative” and “Labour” parties. Not before time. Reform, the Greens, and (though less than in other polls) the LibDems, all riding high almost entirely by default, not on their own merits. Not by their own popularity, but because of the unpopularity of the main System parties.

Good point.

[“I grew up near Bournemouth and saw the horrors of what has happened to the South in recent years most of my life when I would venture to Bournemouth for the day in my teen years. I can’t imagine how much worse it’s got there since the Boris Wave. This seems to be happening most days there now since the opening of the hotels. Total remigration is the only friendly option.”]

I live only 20 miles from Bournemouth. I only go there very rarely, and only if it is unavoidable. Not for white man, frankly. Even the English inhabitants are mostly not those I would wish to encounter.

[“The reason Substacks and new media are thriving is because millions of people are utterly sick of the same liberal centrist dross being served up and shoved down our throats —from the BBC to much of the MSM—and then presented as some kind of “insight” when, in reality, it reflects the worldview of a 5-10% elite minority who still think we are living in 1997 and have failed to see that, actually, people don’t want liberalism on steroids. This elite minority is filled with people who went to the same schools, the same universities, who all basically think the same, live in the same postcodes, and are so obsessed with conforming to the Groupthink or their own social status that they never come close to representing or understanding the wider country. The only thing they want to do is maintain a dismal status-quo that was largely built by this elite class to serve the interests of this elite class. You can criticise me, that’s fine, but this is also why we are now one of the largest independent politics newsletters in the West (http://mattgoodwin.org), and why many others are also emerging, because people see through the Blob and they’ve had enough of it. Because they are the ones having to live with the reality of what this elite class has done to the country —an elite class that now also has the gall to say “yes we get your concerns but don’t be too annoyed/we don’t like your tone”. Do you see how utterly deluded large parts to legacy media now look to everybody else? Look for example at the stuff your own paper has been pushing on immigration. It is so obviously biased and disconnected from the mounting pile of evidence that it is embarrassing to read and, even worse, the reason you won’t change your tune is because you view the truth as “low status” and everybody can see it. Do you have one columnist, a single columnist, who genuinely reflects the mood of the average voter right now? Nope. Hence why the Tories are collapsing. Hence why legacy media is haemorrhaging viewers and listeners. Hence why liberal centrists (sorry, “conservatives”) are sitting around, scratching their heads, wondering why nobody is interested in them anymore. Still, the failures of MSM are what is driving the success of new media and the realignment of politics so keep doing what you’re doing …“]

Good, but not enough.

The “rubber boat” invaders are only 5% of the overall problem; indeed, if births to non-Europeans are taken into account, even less.

I think that the British people have largely made up their collective mind: Farage and Reform are slightly underwhelming, but are the only game in town to vote for in order to hit out at the System parties that have done so much damage. Everyone now knows that, at every by-election, and every local election, from now until the next general election, and then at that general election, the way to stamp on both Lab and Con is to vote Reform.

The Reform vote at the next general election will probably be between 30% and 45%, and even the 30% level will be enough to sink Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel regime.

“Labour” ceased to be “the party of the working man” a long long time ago, and certainly no later than 1997.

An utter cretin.

I shall be interested and amused to see the progress, if any, of the new party being set up by Corbyn and the comedic-named Zara Sultana. I am told that about a quarter of Labour members will join, defecting from Starmer-Labour. A quarter of members, maybe, but I apprehend that only about a tenth of Labour voters, if that, will defect at the next general election. At present, official Labour is registering about 20%-28% in the opinion polls. That seems to put Corbyn-Labour on maybe 2% or 3%. I doubt that Corbyn’s new party will attract more than 10% of the entire election vote; maybe 5%. Even 10% may not result in more than one or two MPs. Corbyn himself, and maybe Ms. Sultana, in both of whose constituencies the vote may be more concentrated.

Impressive, but no more so than the one that stood in the garden of my parents’ house at Reigate Hill, Surrey, circa 1980. The house itself was called Sequoiah (the Native American name for giant redwood). I think that tree was about 100 years old at the time.

Looks like the North Cornwall beaches are now very different from when my family camped at Treyarnon in, if I recall, 1965. I would have been about 8 years old. Denis Healey also used to camp there with his wife and children in those days, though I do not believe I ever saw him. Imagine a Cabinet minister (he was Secretary of State for Defence) doing that now!

When I later (2002-2004) lived not so far away (having leased one of the largest country houses in Cornwall, about 4 miles north of Launceston), we only rarely visited the not-far-away North Cornwall beaches, and only in the colder months, when most are deserted.

“Jack Monroe” has pulled the old “suicide” trick quite a few times, and it always seems to co-incide with occasions when there is much scrutiny of her obvious “grifting” and outright fraud. The depressing thing is that many mugs fall for it every single time.
