Gorton and Denton by-election result

Well, there it is. It seems that a considerable proportion of the Green votes may have been tainted by coercive “family voting” by Pakistanis (12% at polling stations, and an unknown number via postal voting), but even that might not have changed the result.

Social media is already alive with idiotic white “me-too” type anti-Reform tweeters etc, all saying what a humiliation this has been for Reform and for Matt Goodwin personally. Really? Reform doubled its percentage share of the vote since 2024, less than 2 years ago. True, the Greens tripled their 2024 vote, but Labour halved their share.

The real story here is that the traditional “mainstream” parties have all been rejected by the voters, both white and non-white.

Labour lost a seat, and in an area, which has been a Labour stronghold throughout living memory. Labour’s vote-share fell from 50.8% in 2024 to exactly half of that, 25.4%, at the by-election.

The Conservative Party scored 7.9% in 2024, but now only 1.9%.

The LibDems scored 3.8% in 2024, but only 1.8% this time.

Contrary to what the pseudo-“Green” supporters on social media are saying, the big loser at Gorton and Denton was not Reform but the Labour Party.

Gorton and Denton was only 440th on the Reform UK target list, and/but was considered a very safe Labour seat.

Fairly disastrous for Labour. If Labour cannot win, or even come second, in a place like that, where can it win?

As for Reform, well…had it been social-national, rather than “libertarian” fake “conservative”-nationalist (if “nationalist” at all), if it were not so pro-finance capitalist, not so very pro-Jew, pro-Israel, not so hostile (Tice and Farage) to employed persons and to people cheated out of property-ownership (and so having to rent from the likes of Tice), it might have won handsomely in this by-election.

The new Green Party MP, Hannah Spencer, looks to me like both a fake and a freak.

I think that head-counting “democracy” of this sort really is washed-up in the UK. It just does not work in a so-called “multicultural society”.

As for Starmer-stein, and as blogged previously, I doubt he will resign. He likes the status and money and the rest too much. He loves to parade, albeit comically, on the world stage, and play the “world statesman”, however implausibly. He will cling on until people stamp on his fingers.

The other big loser out of the by-election might be the pathetic Corbyn/Sultana “Your Party”, which did not contest the seat, but has now been totally overshadowed and made irrelevant by the Green triumph.

More about the Jew Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Andrew Windsor etc

Well, I have just watched a Netflix documentary (4 or 5 hour-long episodes) about the case of the Jew Epstein etc. It ends with the indictment of the half-Jewish Ghislaine Maxwell, after the supposed suicide of Epstein, so misses out her conviction and sentence, and the fall of “The Andrew Formerly Known As Prince”.

Fairly good as a documentary, and it kept the interest, but it completely failed to investigate the Israeli intelligence and espionage connections. Not one word…

No mention of MOSSAD, Aman, the Trilateral Commission, or the Council on Foreign Relations.

In fact, despite almost all the main characters on the “guilty” and/or allegedly guilty side (Epstein, Maxwell, Dershowitz, many many others) having been Jews or (in Ghislaine Maxwell’s case) half-Jews, the word “Jew” was, I think, not uttered even once. Of course, not all of the alleged abusers were Jews (Andrew Windsor, Bill Clinton etc) but many were, and most if not all of those connected in other ways to Epstein were Jews, even those who were not American (e.g. “lord” Mandelson).

Still, it was good to reflect, while watching the high life of Epstein, on the fact that the Jew has gone up the chimney, and that Ghislaine Maxwell remains in a U.S. prison, albeit now in a “Club Fed” soft one, and may remain there for much of the rest of her life.

In the unlikely event of those figures being the outcome of a general election, the House of Commons would consist of about 467 Reform UK MPs (massive massive majority), Greens 82 (official Opposition but very weak), 40 SNP, 27 LibDems, and 12 Lab. Oh, and zero Cons…

It is quite funny to see the usual Labour/Green idiots getting it wrong again. Yes, Reform failed to win the Gorton and Denton by-election, but Greens standing elsewhere will mostly benefit Reform by knocking out Labour without themselves being able to win.

As I said today and previously, Starmer will only give up his position and privileges when people start to stamp on his fingers to make him let go…

Starmer-stein is becoming totally pathetic.

Starmer-stein may have to go but not, I think, swiftly. Not if he himself has any say in it.

That is dire, even by the standards of Starmer-stein, a no-ideas, box-ticking, bureaucrat-lawyer. Glib but utterly meaningless phrases: “Our communities“, “laser focused” etc. He did make a couple of good points (about minimum wage and the rights of renters) but this government is 95%+ a farrago of soundbites that mean absolutely nothing. Just a pack of jokers, as were the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024.

Starmer even ticked the “support Ukraine” box, which is an incredible waste of money, and a potential trigger for a war which would leave the UK a charred and radioactive wasteland.

What is “not fair” about hating Starmer-stein? He poses on the world stage while the country slides into dystopia, he makes lying noises about “smashing the gangs” while migrant-invaders flood into the UK, he has virtually prevented poor British people from getting homes (whether private or social) while placing migrant-invaders (many criminal) into council and housing association houses and flats, and throws money away on support for Israel and “Ukraine” (Kiev regime), while the standard of living of 90% of the UK population is plummeting. Oh, and after the 2024 migrant-hotels and sex crime protests, he interfered with the judicial protests and demanded that protesters be imprisoned, and even held in custody until trial months or years later; some died.

Starmer is evil, and if he merely loses his unmerited status as Prime Minister, a position which he has proven he cannot fulfil properly, he will be lucky indeed.

Ha. Hodges was tweeting only yesterday that he could not see Labour losing the by-election! That aged well! (about 12 hours).

So, according to Hodges, Reform did not come close to winning? Well, they came second, and though their vote was below 29%, that is after all nearly a third of the votes cast, and in a constituency where about a third of the voters are not even (really) English/British (yes, they probably do have British, as well as Pakistani, passports).

It may be that the Reform UK “ceiling” is around 35%, or even the Gorton and Denton figure of 28.7%, but even the latter would ensure that Reform would win a plurality of Commons seats, and perhaps a majority, unless Labour can exceed that figure, and there is no sign of that, at present.

As for the Greens, they can only win seats where there are either huge numbers of freaks, brainless young know-nothings and “wokes” (such as Brighton Pavilion), or seats where there are huge numbers of Muslim voters with no other likely options (as at Gorton and Denton). The Greens may be able to get 20, 50, even 75 seats at a general election, if Labour continues to be hated and despised, but probably no more.

At present, Reform, underwhelming as it is, is stll likely to win a plurality of seats at the next general election.

I think Westminster Bubblers such as Hodges find it hard to understand that both Lab and Con have had their day, and for the same reason— their natural support-bases are eroding, and fast.

For once, I agree with Farage completely.

If you turn large parts of your country into an Indo-Pak ghetto, that is what you get…

On the wider question of Reform v. Green, just look at all the opinion polling from the past year. Reform 25%-35%, Greens 10%-18%. The many anti-Reform (anti-national) tweeters etc cannot seem to grasp that, in 90% of the constituencies, all they will do at the next general election is weaken the Labour vote and so allow Reform to win.

Within about 15 years, the various ethnic factions within the UK will not be voting, they will be arming.

Well, wouldn’t you know…

Every. Single. Time.

Wall. Squad. End.

[“A pharmacy manager in Bradford has been jailed for sexually abusing a child who had also been r-ped by another man.

Shahzad Hussain, 27, contacted the girl on Snapchat, lied about his age and groomed her in 2022. He was found guilty following a trial of six offences relating to sexual activity with a child. Last month, Ahmer Hamid, 29, was jailed for nine years after being found guilty of driving the same girl to a secluded location and r-ping her in a separate incident in 2022. Defence said Hussain, “was a man of previous good character” and “he’s paid the ultimate price” [of losing his job] due to a “weekend of terrible behaviour”. Hussain was jailed for just seven years. He was ordered an SHPO curbing internet use for 15 years and on sex offenders register for life. Sickening.“]

Wall. Squad. End.

He will be out in about 4.5 years but, when Britain has a real British government, will be tracked down and eliminated with the rest.

Wall. Squad. End; and refer to previous comment.

The vituperative and fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister, Simon Myerson, of Leeds [@scynic1], who was sacked a couple of years ago as a part-time judge (Recorder) for being unable or unwilling to stop intimidating and insulting people on social media, actually set up a “charity” to import more Afghans (to the UK, not Israel, needless to add).

Every. Single. Time.

Incidentally, tweeter Sophie Meaden, as a law student, will be aware that one requirement of the existence of a charity under English law is that it should have “public benefit”. What possible public benefit can there be in importing the racially/culturally inferior into this country?

Psychologically, a win for Goodwin would have been better for Reform, but the swing at Gorton and Denton might indicate that Reform can easily get an overall majority at the next general election, pushing both Labour and Conservative, let alone the fake “Green” freaks into double-digit or even single-digit territory.

The result at Gorton and Denton also tends to destroy any remaining faith of white English/British people in the supposedly “democratic” electoral system (large ethnic minority bloc-voting, coercive “family voting” by Paki-stani Muslims, electoral fraud of various kinds), and that disenchantment may eventually fuel a proper national uprising.

British voters have been pushed to and beyond the limit by the dual incompetence and malice of the Labour and Conservative parties, the main System parties.

Of course, the Greens only triumphed at the by-election by a shameless pandering to the ethnic minorities, especially Pakistani Muslims. That minority voted, one can fairly accurately guess, in numbers around 12,000 of the 37,000 voters who voted. Seems that rather more than half of the Muslim element, maybe even three-quarters, voted Green (the rest voted Labour).

The Greens got just under 15,000 votes altogether, so between ~6,000 and ~9,000+ of the Greens’ votes were Muslim votes. Without those votes, the Greens would have come a poor third with as few as ~6,000 votes.

I note that none of the msm scribblers and talking heads are willing to engage with the realities; all talk or scribble is about parties as though policies and personalities are the only things that matter. Race and culture of the voters is only mentioned, if at all, in passing, yet the Green triumph was mainly an ethnic non-English/British win over the real British in that area, and because the stupid whites —disenchanted with fake Labour, so be it— who voted Green allied themselves with the Muslim Pakistanis. I can only assume that those white Green voters wanted something socialist or at least social, and neither Labour nor Reform suited them.

Hard to assess, but seems plausible, looking at the fact that the Labour vote “only” halved, rather than collapsing completely. After all, few white (i.e. English/British) people are now going to vote Labour, wherever they may live.

Turnout at the by-election was slightly below 50% (47.62%), and there are about 80,000 voters of which just under 37,000 voted. Muslims etc (non-whites) who voted probably numbered somewhere between 12,000 and 20,000. It can be seen that, without the non-white (almost all Pakistani Muslim) voters, both the Greens and Labour would have scored around 5,000 votes, maybe fewer than 5,000, and Matt Goodwin/Reform would have won easily.

In parts of England and Wales where the ethnic minorities are “only” 5%, 10%, or even 20%, Reform is still very much on track for an historic overall victory. The upcoming May local elections will be interesting to see.

Having said that, probably around 25,000-30,000+ white voters voted at that by-election. Fewer than 11,000 voted Reform. At least 14,000, maybe more, voted Labour or Green. I suspect that the old and very old voted in the mindless tribal-Labour way one sees in the North of England; the young or very young, e.g. students and dropouts, where they voted at all, may have voted Green.

Reform’s weakness, as often blogged, is that it is not social-national. Its ceiling may not be (as Dan Hodges thinks) 28%, but it may be around 35%. All the same, either figure might yet put Reform into government.

Does Hodges understand just how atypical Gorton and Denton is? The Greens might manage 50 seats at a general election; I doubt more. There are huge areas of “Middle England” where both Labour and Conservatives are almost swear-words now. Those areas are going to go Reform almost en bloc as things stand.

Hodges just wilfully fails to understand that, when you import millions of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, blacks etc, you become, in proportion, a country with traits like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, African countries etc.

Fixed. Rigged. Fake “democracy”…

I see on TV news that there are hopes for an agreement between Iran and the USA re. nuclear enrichment etc. It occurs to me that those subtle Iranians might have a strategy— agree to pause uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons research, but at the same time to step up, hugely, their conventional missile production (I read that they presently produce about 100 missiles per month, many hypersonic).

If they can produce 200 a month for 3-4 years, they will have in readiness up to 10,000 missiles, maybe 15,000 if you include their present stock, missiles many of which will be impossible to intercept; by about 2029 or 2030. The missiles will be buried below mountains, ever-deeper, and almost impossible to destroy pre-launch. On that basis, Israel is doomed.

On the other hand, maybe the USA is about to attack, doing Israel’s bidding yet again…

The situation is similar with the UK msm.

[“The Mossad made sure all jews were warned before their terror attack on the American people at 911.
But they were not only warned not to enter the Twin Towers.
One of my bosses (jewish) at Credit Suisse First Boston showed me his boarding pass to one of the hijacked planes.
He told me had was warned not to go on the plane.
He told me he kept the boarding pass in his wallet ever since.
At the time I thought it was a Cohencidence.
Not any more.
We need to end Pax Judaica
and the terror state of Israel“]

Interesting. While Restore Britain is more to my taste, ideologically, than Reform UK, it is still not social-national and, at present, not able to smash the old LibLabCon scam, Reform is the only party with sufficient public profile.

All part of the gradual slide to dystopia in this country

Interesting hand gesture…

As blogged yesterday, the latest opinion polling puts Reform, Labour, and the Greens within about one percentage point of each other in the Gorton and Denton by-election contest. It’s wide open, with less than 24 hours before the real polls open.

[“After much work on the part of several committed individuals, we were able to find a VERY hard-to-find manuscript of Entdecktes Judenthum, or Judaism Unmasked by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger (1711). It wasn’t easy. Entdecktes Judenthum has been called arguably the most censored book in the Western World (it probably is). Written after Eisenmenger spent approximately nineteen years in the research and composition, beginning around 1680. He studied Hebrew and Aramaic to scholarly proficiency. He worked through the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the Midrash (including Midrash Rabbah and related collections), the Zohar and kabbalistic literature, Maimonides, and a wide range of medieval rabbinical commentaries and responsa literature. He pretended to be a Jewish convert to learn directly from the Rabbis themselves, the only way, considering the Talmud forbids teaching it to the goyim. Before it could be disseminated, the Jewish banking community in Frankfurt bribed the magistrate to confiscate it and destroy the manuscripts, and it’s been censored ever since. Broken links. Scrubbed archives. Digital libraries that had quietly made it disappear. AI assistants that refused to search archives or refused to help find it. Decoys that gave us wild goose chases that led to pro-Talmud books after translating. Dirty tricks! But they found it, printed in archaic typeface angular blackletter script, used modern OCR software for optical character recognition, and normalized the orthography into contemporary German so that it could be processed accurately by translation tools. Basically, it was archeology converted to English. We hope no one ever has to do it again. But that’s the point. ENTDECKTES JUDENTHUM will be available in English for the first time in a widely accessible edition. FOR FREE. Unrestricted and reproducible without permission. We ask nothing. We claim no copyright. We want this to spread. It will be available via PDF for FREE this weekend to everyone and available in ebook formats with additional tools and resources for I2I premium subscribers this weekend also. It will be made available in hardback paper as soon as the printers are done with it AT COST. We are publishing this because the Church of Jesus Christ is entitled to read what has been hidden from us, and because we believe light is the only appropriate response to darkness. God will do with it what He will. Find it at Insight to Incite. Share around. No copyright. Get it out. Link in bio. HT @DEI4WhiteGuys and @UpdatedWorks and I2I subscribers.”]

I do not agree with that conclusion. I still think that Reform (Matt Goodwin) could do this. All three main contenders (the others are jokes and wasted votes) are within one point of each other, around 28% (so not far off the 30% each I predicted weeks ago on the blog).

What surprises me, even in a constituency full of uncultured, uneducated Pakistani Muslims and former tribal-Labour English, is that over a quarter of voters are, even now, going to vote Labour! What do they have between their ears? Not brains, I think.

That has occurred to me, as have several other theories. One of those would be that Farage wants Reform to be a kind of populist “Conservative” party with a few add-ons, whereas Matt Goodwin is halfway to social-nationalism (having started his ideological journey, years ago, as a kind of “anti-fascist” academic stooge-type. I think he even tweeted against me once or twice). Certainly Farage has not been very supportive of Goodwin during the by-election campaign.

It occurred to me that Mandelson might (but probably would not) flee to Israel, as a Jew with “right of return”, and I put that on the blog about a week ago, but the BVI (British Virgin Islands)?! Absurd. The BVI is a British Overseas Territory, so not a safe place of sanctuary.

[“Israel is increasingly concerned with the emigration problem. 230,800 Israelis left from 2023-25 and the number of Israelis canceling their residency quadrupled. What makes the problem more severe for Israel is the profile of those leaving:

1) Nearly 48% of those leaving are aged 20 to 45, and 27% are children or teenagers, indicating that entire families are relocating.
2) Over 8,000 high-tech workers left between October 2023 and mid-2024 alone. High-wage earners now make up one-third of all emigrants, up from a quarter in previous years.
3) There has been a “concerning increase” in the departure of doctors (over 400 in 2023 alone) and specialists in STEM fields. In a 20-month period, over 600 PhD holders and 3,000 engineers moved abroad.
4) 75% of those leaving are under 40, representing the core of Israel’s future workforce and tax base.

The ramifications are significant:

1) Emigrants in 2023–2024 had paid over 1.5 billion shekels (~$490 million) in income tax the year prior to leaving. Since the tech sector provides roughly one-third of all state income tax, its contraction threatens the funding of public services.
2) High-tech contributes 17% of Israel’s GDP and 57% of its exports. The The Israel Innovation Authority warns that a sustained loss of these “innovation drivers” could lead to a permanent slowdown in growth and investment.
3) The exit of doctors exacerbates an already critical shortage of medical personnel, potentially leading to longer wait times and reduced quality of care.
4) As secular, liberal-leaning Israelis leave, the remaining population tilts more toward religious and nationalist sectors. This shift could further deepen internal polarization and fundamentally alter the “social contract” that binds Israeli society.
5) For the first time in 15 years, Israel has seen a negative migration balance, challenging the Zionist vision of the country as a primary safe haven for Jews worldwide.

Israel continues to move towards a future as a theocratic, authoritarian state. It will also be a poorer one with less innovation.“]

Israel is doomed.

Ah, so Farage did visit the Gorton and Denton constituency, maybe more than once. Other tweets show that he is there right now.

The polls open at 0700 hrs tomorrow morning. A few votes may decide the issue.

Whether Matt Goodwin wins it for Reform, or the Greens win it, or even if Labour retains the seat by a whisker, any of those outcomes will show that Labour is on the way out. Labour scored 50.8% there in 2024, so any result less than 1. a Labour win but also 2. with at least 40% of the votes cast, is bad for Labour and for Starmer. Gorton and Denton has always been a “tribal” Labour area.

Thus speaks the typical “Westminster Bubbler”, or political gossip insider. Politics as a matter of organization, “comms”, a get-the-vote-out local machine etc.

Dan Hodges may be right, and all of the above matter.

For me, the actual result is not the main thing. For one thing, a third of the voters are Muslims, mostly Pakistanis. As far as I am concerned, their participation renders the vote non-legitimate anyway, if it results in a win for Labour or the Greens.

Secondly, what matters is that, even were Labour to win with, say, 35% of the vote, that means that in most of the country, in places where Labour is not part of a secular trinity (Labour-NHS-football), Labour is toast.

The Greens, in the oft-seen Leninist term (usually misunderstood, however) are both infantile and disordered. Bad-joke politics, but (as one has seen with with Lab and Con over the past half-century and especially since 1989) that might not prevent them actually exercizing power and ruining society (even more), if the socio-political conditions were to become favourable.

Reminiscences: temps perdu, and thoughts about mortality

When one is well over 60, as I now am (68; b. 1956), thoughts may naturally turn to mortality, life and death, and questions larger than the everyday concerns of life. That may be so when one notices that many people one has known in life are now defunct.

Some of the people I have known, or have merely met briefly or peripherally in the past, are still alive; many, however, are not. Some of those who are no longer alive have died from various natural causes (and are too numerous to list), others expired from unnatural causes (such as a Nigerian princess I knew, shot dead in Lagos in the late 1990s) or from causes or reasons unknown (such as the ex-husband of a lady I knew in the 1980s, which ex-husband apparently drowned in the Thames at London). A few, friends of friends rather than people I knew well, sadly died via suicide many years ago.

These thoughts came again to mind yesterday when I noticed information online to the effect that a former American colleague, a major-league American lawyer called Tim Scrantom, died some time ago, in 2021, apparently of a brain tumour. He was diagnosed in April 2021, and died 6 months later.

[Tim Scrantom, 1956-2025]

Tim Scrantom was a couple of months younger than me, a fact which sharpens my reminiscence.

I met Scrantom after a headhunter in New York suggested to him and his two main colleagues, in 2001, that I might suit his niche law firm (based in Charleston, South Carolina). I was telephoned in Turkey, where I was then resident, and we arranged to meet in London at one of my usual haunts, the Churchill Bar at the Hotel Russell in Russell Square.

I drove back to England via Greece, Bulgaria, Romania (the latter two then not EU states, and very ramshackle), Hungary (excellent country), Austria, Germany (calling in at Berchtesgaden), Luxembourg, and Belgium.

The upshot was that Scrantom and I became colleagues, he based mostly at Charleston (the office was at East Bay Street, in the conservation zone of the city), I mostly in London, though we both visited various offshore jurisdictions, once or twice in tandem, as when we went to Liechtenstein one day (well, I did; Scrantom had left his passport at the Mayfair Hotel, and only discovered that fact when we met at Heathrow, prior to flying to Zurich…).

Scrantom was a genial host. He invited my wife and me to dinner in Charleston in August or early September 2001 and, on a later solo visit, I visited his home on Sullivan’s Island, by Charleston, where he lived with his then wife (I believe they divorced later) and young daughter.

Scrantom, though a graduate from American law schools, an attorney in several states, and a professor of law as well, was also a barrister of Gray’s Inn in London. I was a barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, though many years later (2016) wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred at the instigation of a pack of malicious and politically-motivated Jew-Zionists.

Scrantom, incidentally, was a modest fellow, very much a “Southern gentleman”, born in Georgia and from a wealthy background. I liked him. I never knew (until yesterday) about some of his earlier adventures, such as sailing around the Bahamas on his yacht, exploring the Himalayas, or visiting edgy places in Cambodia and elsewhere in South-East Asia, though he did tell me that he knew several of the people portrayed in the famous book and film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_in_the_Garden_of_Good_and_Evil_(film)], the events of which occurred in Savannah, Georgia, where Scrantom’s family members were largely based.

In September 2001, I was with Scrantom in a taxi in the Strand, London, when his wife called to say that New York was under attack. We interrupted our journey (to the Berkeley Square area of Mayfair) to get out at a Dixons store to look at the TV screens.

I well remember him later fuming that Iraq “must have” been behind the attack on the World Trade Center (that was the neo-con and American msm line at the time, of course) and that “Israel has the right idea” (i.e. bomb the hell out…). Well, he was wrong, of course, and we disagreed about that. Like most Americans, and despite his intelligence and education, he was influenced by the pro-Israel propaganda so pervasive in the msm in the USA (though his main colleague, Ron, a hard-driving former USAF officer, was more alive to the menace of Jew-Zionism, and he was, as one might expect, also pro-USA to the hilt).

Scrantom, even when I knew him, was a multimillionaire, and later become a major player in the field of “litigation insurance”, once called “champerty” and historically not lawful in most jurisdictions (including England): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champerty_and_maintenance; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champerty_and_maintenance#England_and_Wales. Now, it is considered more acceptable.

I do not much like the concept (and Jew-Zionists in England use “litigation insurance” to pursue pro-Israel “lawfare”), so maybe it is just as well that our professional connection was mainly severed in 2002, when I decided to return to the ordinary practising Bar in England. I then moved to a large country house in Cornwall, and was based professionally at Exeter.

As already mentioned, I liked Tim (though not his then wife, to be frank; I only met her once), though I should say that he and his two main colleagues had no idea at all about how to run a law firm.

Life is short, something few if any really understand when in their twenties or thirties. We all have to try to accomplish something, not in a careerist sense, but for the future of the Earth, while in any particular incarnation.

That idiot, a (?) 30-something wannabee or occasional scribbler, tweeted something about me quite a while ago, I think in 2023 or 2024. He seems to be very pro-Jew-Zionist and pro-Israel, and his msm scribblings (it seems as part of teams, not sole bylines) were 6-11 years ago. A few more recent scribblings have been for online outlets (of which few have ever heard). https://muckrack.com/colin-cortbus/articles.

Apparently, that Cortbus person was once a UKIP activist (when a student, about 12-14 years ago).

I notice that that individual has only about 2,500 Twitter/X followers. When a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018, I had 3,000 followers (and that had been artificially lowered); by now I would have had tens of thousands of Twitter followers. Ah well…so much for “free speech” in this country…

Incidentally, I was unaware about that event in Zagreb. Looks as though parts of Europe are waking up.

…but look at that dishonest little Pakistani, Sajid Javid. Wrong once again. Remember his denial of the link between the migration invasion of tens of millions into the UK, and housing shortages?

Make that nearer to 10-15M, though…(plus births).

Starmer-stein is a total idiot. No idea about how to run the UK. Clueless. I predicted it, about 3-4 years ago, on the blog.

Scotland is even worse than England. Some of the idiots up there even claim to welcome being invaded by backward hordes!

The Labour Party in Scotland is actually headed by a Pakistani; so was (how ludicrous can you get?) the Scottish “National” Party, until recently.

As for that rapist, he will be out in 5-6 months. Shocking. The woman victim must be devastated and feel totally unprotected and unavenged.

Economic sanctions rarely work. When I was in Rhodesia in 1977, the roads outside the capital, Salisbury (now Harare) were empty, but that was not because of sanctions (fuel rationing only lasted 1965-1971). New cars were often seen in the city, though none were of British manufacture; French, I think Spanish, or other. Sanctions had limited effect— things such as books, Scotch whisky etc. Nothing really major. Tobacco, oranges, chrome etc were still exported (often under false flags).

Compare Putin to pathetic and dishonest Starmer-stein, or that truly ridiculous “diversity hire”, Lammy.

Not so much “wild geese” as Muscovy ducks…(only joking).

Unsurprising. Why should the peoples of Central and Western Europe (and USA) risk nuclear war for the sake of Zelensky’s brutal, shambolic, and very corrupt cabal? Most Ukrainian men are themselves trying to avoid serving in the Kiev-regime forces.

[“Israeli publication Haaretz reported that the US military used 93 THAAD interceptors in 11 days to defend Israel, revising previous cost estimates from $800 million to about $1.2 billion. With an annual production rate of about 36-48 THAAD interceptors, the US used up nearly two years’ worth of the missiles during the war.“]

Horrible. I hope they suffer for committing such crimes against the natural world. Barbarians.

Strange to think that, when I drove to the end of the almost-empty Karpas Peninsula in Northern Cyprus in early 2000, I was only 60 miles from Latakia in Syria. 60 miles, but a different world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpas_Peninsula.

[“Few people noticed why exactly Israel launched a war against Iran on June 13. Here are three hidden reasons: 1. Just days earlier, the country was rocked by its largest pedophile scandal in history—one involving several high-ranking politicians. 2. Before the war, Iran hacked three terabytes of files from Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, which is known for collecting compromising information on global politicians. 3. Israeli PM Netanyahu risked losing power due to the unpopular proposal to draft ultra-Orthodox Jews into the Israeli military“]

I wonder what there is in that about Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Dershowitz, Clinton, Trump etc.

If MOSSAD or AMAN had that stuff, does the SVR now also have it, or some of it? About Trump, for example?

“The Consolation of Philosophy”?

Allison Pearson is a remarkably stupid woman.

I presume that Lewis is hiding out in Israel. He has or had a flat in Eilat, a fact that he concealed from the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal when he was found guilty on several charges in 2018. Indeed, his Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis should have his fine greatly reduced because Lewis’s only assets were his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.

Ecce the supposed “top defamation lawyer”!

Self-Publicizing Supposed “Top Lawyer” Mark Lewis: Full Transcript of Disciplinary Hearing Judgment Now Released by Tribunal

Mark Lewis is little better than a confidence trickster.

Incidentally, Lewis was an abusive husband when married briefly (one year) to the Z-list “celebrity” and, briefly, Sky News newsreader, Caroline Feraday (amusingly, best-known for having been sacked by text message by BBC local radio about 15 years ago).

Not that I care at all about Lewis’s abusive behaviour to his then wife, who now lives in a “nowheresville” in the outer regions of Los Angeles (see my blog posts).

The Feraday woman joined with Lewis in attacking me viciously on Twitter (about my opposition to the Jewish fake WW2 “reparations” scam); in fact she initiated the attacks, with which Lewis then joined in. Until then (many years ago, about 2012 or so), I had never heard of the bastard, or her.

Mark Lewis was (maybe still is) a “patron” of that evil and squalid organization, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, working with its main characters, such as Gideon Falter (a proven liar and, arguably, perjurer) and the Jew-Zionist Israel fanatic, posing as “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”, whom we can call “Slitherman”.

An example below of Lewis’s abusive social media activity, which (after several years) got him into trouble (though not via me— unlike the Jew-Zionist troublemakers, I do not waste time making endless complaints to police etc):

(in fact, in 2018, it was revealed that Lewis constantly abused people on Twitter etc, even a young Jewish boy; Lewis blamed his medications for his abusive behaviour…).

Ecce Allison Pearson’s solicitor (apparently)…

My own Twitter account, as explained, was deleted by Twitter itself in 2018 at the instigation of effectively the same pack of Jews, while Caroline Feraday deleted her original Twitter account a year or two ago, mainly because it was too embarrassing for her in various ways. She has another Twitter/X account now (with only 115 “followers”, despite she herself following 166 Twitter/X accounts).

Caroline Feraday’s now-deleted Twitter account had, at one time, tens of thousands of “followers”, all fake, all bought by her and by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who himself bought nearly 80,000 in an attempt to seem important, popular etc. Legal business news outlets even commented, cautiously, about the dishonest fakery of Lewis and his then wife.

Caroline Feraday now works for local public radio station KCLU in Ventura County, California, a subsidized radio station (National Public Radio network) with (putting it jokingly) about half a dozen listeners.

A few years ago, Caroline Feraday was publicly begging on GoFundMe, in an attempt to raise a mere USD $5,000. Sic transit gloria mundi…(and “celebrity”)…

From last month; I missed that one.

“Cor, ‘ee’s well ‘ard!” (when arresting a woman of 83 doing basically nothing; the police are, shall we say, “not so hard” when confronting, if they ever do, predators and scavengers, such as those usually found living in caravans…).

Pathetic.

Ha. Soon “we shall all be (called) terrorists”…

I have seen the odd thing over the years from Rod Liddle with which I have agreed; quite a lot with which I disagreed. Also, my impression (I have never met him) is that he is rather an unpleasant person.

I could suggest something, but would not want some Jew-Zionist troublemaker making yet another contrived complaint to the police “service” about me.

The Israeli Jews are so brave, when firing at unarmed and defenceless civilians…

Diary Blog, 11 September 2024, including reminiscence about the “9/11” attack in 2001

Morning music

11 September 2001

Well, here we are again. On the “original” 11 September, meaning “9/11” 2001 (in the American format), I was in the back of a taxi driving down the Strand in London, with an American colleague. Mid-morning. He received a call from his wife in Charleston, South Carolina. Something about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center in Manhattan.

My colleague relayed the news to me, and the typically know-all London taxi driver told us that he already knew all about it.

My American colleague asked me where we could get to a TV. I replied that our office in London (off Berkeley Square in Mayfair) had one, but that there used to be a Dixons (electronics and home electrical goods store) in the Strand. We saw it, disembarked and went into that store. Hundreds of TV sets, all showing what looked like a disaster movie. A few customers wandering around, looking at the goods, seemingly unaware of the enormity of what was happening, vicariously, in front of them.

After about 10 minutes looking and listening, we left and went to my then office. The staff there were getting the latest on-the-ground and diplomatic news.

My American colleague was both grim and angry, and muttered something about how “we” should respond in the same way the Israelis always did. Needless to say, I disagreed, though as politely as I could. For one thing, the origins and motives of the perpetrators had not yet been established (he was saying that it must be the Iraqis, which of course turned out to be wrong). I do recall remarking that if a state was proven to have been behind the attack, then it was undoubtedly an act of war in terms of international law.

Of course, the 2001 WTC attack was used as the fuel for the American-led invasions of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

I well remember my American colleague’s anger, which I think was general across the USA, from what I not only saw on TV but also what I noted once or twice in the USA not long afterward; I flew to Washington about a week or so after the attacks.

I myself was relatively unemotional about it, despite the horrible images and evident suffering etc. That’s just me, I suppose. After all, many horrible things happen in the world, and the Americans themselves perpetrate quite a few of them. Having said that, the attack was an appalling outrage from almost any point of view.

Since then, of course, the Trade Center attack has spawned a hundred “conspiracy theories”, including the so-called “Dancing Israelis”: see https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12768362.five-israelis-were-seen-filming-as-jet-liners-ploughed-into-the-twin-towers-on-september-11-2001/.

That report is really worth reading. The Israeli intelligence connection to the “9/11” attack is more than a simple “conspiracy theory” that can be simply laughed off.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks_advance-knowledge_conspiracy_theories.

“After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said: “It’s very good.” Then he corrected himself, adding: “Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy for Israel from Americans.”

[Herald Scotland]

As with the Kennedy assassination, some of the “9/11” conspiracy theories, mutually contradictory as some are, cannot be entirely discounted.

One thing that I found odd at the time was that members of the bin Laden family living in the USA at the time were flown out of US airspace on private jets only a day or two after the attacks (the Pentagon also having been hit), and authorized in person, it seems, by George W. Bush, the U.S. President, and at a time before ordinary commercial flights were allowed to resume.

Of course, since the attacks of 2001, the area of the attack has been redeveloped.

The original “Twin Towers” complex was a very powerful architectural statement, partly because of the two almost identical main buildings:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_(1973%E2%80%932001)

In fact, there were minor differences. I went up both towers. Once only, in 1989, onto the open observation deck of the South Tower:

…and also once only to the Hors d’Oeuvrerie and Cellar in the Sky near the top of the North Tower, where I enjoyed the view and a couple of glasses of Californian Chardonnay with my first wife, an employee of the Federal Government. That would have been in 1990 or 1991.

In fact, during the years 1989-1993 I was occasionally at the World Trade Center, but only because I sometimes used the PATH line from Newark (New Jersey) into Manhattan, a service that terminated either at the WTC or at 33rd Street/Herald Square in Midtown (I more often went to Midtown).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(rail_system)

The rebuilt area is still quite striking but perhaps not quite so much as the original:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_(2001%E2%80%93present)

Incidentally, one of the things I noticed about the South Tower was the speed of the very large express lift/elevator (the size of a room), which transported tourists to the floor below the Observation Deck in a matter of only a couple of minutes, if I recall aright. I think 107 floors. There was a staircase from there to the outside Observation Deck.

I did not see the U.S. Presidential TV debate. Such “debates” are always rubbish (going back as far as the famous Nixon-Kennedy ones). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_United_States_presidential_debates.

Having said that, such shouting matches and trivia do have their effect on voter response.

At this point, I have no idea who supposedly “won” the TV debate, or who is going to come out on top in the election.

The “Twitterati”, or Twitter/X twits, heavily pro-Kamala Harris, think that she has “won” the TV debate, but that is near-meaningless: they were also sure that the Remain side would win the Brexit Referendum, and that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

America is now so polarized that it would take a President ten times better than the two present contenders rolled together to patch it up.

Starmer-Labour is a Labour Friends of Israel project.

More reminiscences

It seems that today is a day for Memory Lane.

I notice that Larkbeare House in Exeter, not far from the barristers’ chambers where I was professionally based during the years 2002-2008 (though actually resident much of the time after 2005 and until mid-2009 in France), is up for sale.

Larkbeare House was, at that time (and, indeed, since 1876), the Judges’ Lodgings. High Court and Circuit Judges on the Western Circuit of the Bar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuits_of_England_and_Wales] would stay there when sitting at Exeter.

I attended a couple of receptions there in 2006/2007.

Judges’ Lodgings, which go back hundreds of years, came into existence as a way of isolating judges from the opinions and potential pressures of the local populations, and also protecting them from potential intimidation or protest.

The sale is a sign of the times. The misgovernment of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne decided to sell off most of the remaining Judges’ Lodgings. Judges now often stay in hotels when on circuit; to my mind not entirely satisfactory.

Incidentally, if anyone wants to buy the property, the “guide price” is £4M.

Listen to that little bastard (Hamish Falconer MP). Parroting the exact same words that many “Conservative” MPs did 2010-2024. No difference whatsoever. “Tough choices” etc. The little bastard has never had to make a “tough choice” in his life, let alone one that impacted him personally.

Incidentally:

“The son of Charlie Falconer, Baron Falconer of Thoroton, who served as Lord Chancellor under Tony Blair, Falconer attended Westminster School and then St. John’s College, Cambridge, graduating in 2008 in Human, Social and Political Science,[4] before joining the diplomatic service. Falconer worked in the UK government’s Department for International Development from 2009 to 2013, and then the Foreign and Commonwealth Office until 2022.[5] His diplomatic career centred on national security and humanitarian relief, including hostage recovery.[6][7] Whilst in the Foreign Office, he spent a year at Yale University as a “World Fellow”.[8]

Since leaving the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, Falconer worked as an associate fellow at the IPPR,[6] and was a Policy Fellow at the think tank Labour Together alongside standing as a candidate for Parliament.“

[Wikipedia].

A horrible little System-careerist bastard, in short. Moreover, one born with a double-size silver spoon in his mouth.

Starmer and his cohorts, including the said horrible little careerist bastard, are sending £3 BILLION a year to the brutal Jewish dictatorship in Kiev, apart from anything else. More than they are confiscating from British pensioners.

The “Conservative” government of that little Indian money-juggler had to go, had to be binned, but what has replaced it (as I predicted, though not alone) is a kind of useless, pointless, sleazy, box-ticking Blair Mark Two government of would-be dictatorial idiots, headed by chief idiot Starmer.

Everyone and every organization helping to facilitate evil rubbish of that sort should be purged.

Also seen there, jeering, is bad-joke “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani woman whose entire “legal career” (even including Bar pupillage) lasted for only about 3 years, mostly spent being a “gopher” at a firm of solicitors.

What a line-up of unpleasant individuals. Look at sour-faced would-be dictator Yvette Cooper! Has she been told that her Labour Friends of Israel subscription is due? Have some of her latest fake expenses claims been queried?

They are already worse. Starmer-Labour, Friends of Israel-Labour, has nothing it really wants to do, except sit as a “government”, get paid well, make connections with big business, and “govern “, punishing anyone who expresses alternative views of the world.

They have no policies worth a plugged nickel, and they have no mandate— only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted for them, and most of those were people wanting only to bin the “Conservative” Party.

[No, wait! I voted Labour!“]

Starmer-Labour has a list of people they want to kill off or at least imprison and/or silence: pensioners (hardly any of whom vote Labour now), alternative political voices, those opposed to Israeli war crimes and the UK Jewish lobby.

This is a (barely-)”elected” dictatorship, composed mainly of people who can fairly, if loosely, be described as traitors.

Talking point

Britain (and some other countries, such as Sweden) in 2024?

That Dunt individual is not objective. I believe that he tweeted or retweeted about me a few times in the past. Unpleasant, and usually wrong in his views.

Starmer and his cabal think that the recent protests and their “riotous” offshoots are as bad as it gets for him and Labour. Think again. 4+ years of this type of quasi-tyrannical misgovernment and anything could happen.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13838731/Keir-Starmer-Rachel-Reeves-energy-bill-hikes-cap-costs-Downing-Street-flats-winter-fuel.html

“Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are set to be insulated from the impact of energy bill hikes as pensioners face a struggle without winter fuel payments. 

The PM and Chancellor only pay a taxable benefit on running costs at the grace-and-favour apartments – capped at 10 per cent of their ministerial salaries.

It means that they contribute around £3,000 to cover all utilities and other expenses, and the sum will not go up when the Ofgem cap increases by 10 per cent next month.

…critics have warned that thousands of pensioners on low-incomes could die through lack of heating when the weather turns.”

Well, here she is: aged about 28, and her only work experience has been a bit of “intern” and “volunteer” activity: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_Dollimore#Political_career.

These are the know-nothings that purport to rule over us (of course, just lobby-fodder; and a kind of much better-paid advice centre worker).

As I have said, Iran’s tactics of uncertainty keep Israel off-balance, but such tactics cannot be kept in deployment forever. In the end, Iran will have to either put up or shut up.

The way things are going, Britain’s future looks very dark (literally), but I should still much prefer this country not to be blasted and irradiated by nuclear war…

The UK must withdraw all support from the Kiev regime.

Tell me about it!
