Only the European peoples, improved and elevated, can provide a foundation over time for a quantum leap in human evolution, a “super-race” if you like. Something that will take not even hundreds but thousands of years to come to fruition. It can only come to fruition if there is a suitable European (post-Aryan) base there as the foundation stone.

Can that even be denied?

I have tried, in various interactions over the past decade with what now passes for a police force, to explain the law (and what is perfectly lawful and does not require their attention), but most of them have been brainwashed into believing (wrongly) that anything that some stray troublemaker, especially if Jewish, as with the malicious (few) individuals who pretend that they are the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] says is “offensive” (to the malicious complainant(s) is, ipso facto, both “grossly offensive” and contrary to law. Not so.

Actually, the policeman in that Laurence Fox clip misquoted the Act.

You can see from this https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/127 that an offence may be committed if someone sends [such] a message with the purpose of causing needless anxiety to another. Very hard to prove both purpose and needlessness.

The Communications Act 2003, s.127 was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission a couple of years ago but is still in force. I am named in that Report as one of the lay (public) consultees (“lay” despite the fact that I was a barrister until malicious Jew-Zionists procured my wrongful and actually unlawful disbarment in 2016, and despite my still being nominally a member of the Bar of the State of New York).

Jess Phillips was probably made a Parliamentary Under-Secretary [PUS], the lowest rung on the ministerial ladder, because it means that she has to more or less shut up unless supporting the Government line. She gets (on top of her over-£91,000 MP pay, and generous expenses) a further £25,000+ for being a PUS. She loves money and is a huge freeloader and moneygrasper. She will not wish to lose the extra cash.

See also my assessment of Jess Phillips from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/07/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-jess-phillips-story/.

Seems a good cause.

“I thought that I would be safe and that the police officers would deal with him, but that wasn’t the case.” Shameful failure by the two Met Police officers in this case. No urgency. No care.

Student @zahra_etc was hit in the face with a plate by a male customer whilst working in Nando’s. Instead of arresting the man, Met Police allowed him to leave the scene…

Zahra claims she was initially verbally abused by the man and that she was later attacked by the male customer. Zahra said she alerted one of the officers – a female – who “didn’t seem bothered” about the attack, and told her to speak to her male colleague.

She claimed the male officer “took the man outside”, but then let him go without taking any of his details or taking a statement and without checking the CCTV.

While the male officer was talking to the man, Zahra said the female officer was “laughing and joking” with the woman and playing with the baby.

“I was really disappointed and extremely upset by that,” she said.

Zahra’s attacker has not been caught. Following the assault, she said she had been “discouraged and gaslit into dropping the case”. “I felt alone, like I had no-one to support me in that moment. I felt kind of hopeless, I felt extremely vulnerable.

#Two-tierPolicing (yet again)

Apart from the obvious “two-tier” aspect, how incredibly incompetent those police “officers” seem to have been. Imagine not even taking the attacker’s name and address etc!

Frankly, I think many of our police are so lacking in basic nous that they “couldn’t catch a cold“, in the oft-heard phrase. Never mind. Show them an “anti-Semitic” tweet, or a Facebook post critical of so-called “travellers” (Irish tinkers), and they will be on the case at once, no doubt…

Also, what were the policeman and policewoman doing there together anyway? Sounds as if they prioritized their social (?) life.

Deutschland erwache!

Well said.

Oddly enough, I often dream of strange dark dystopian cities, often with very wide streets and scurrying crowds. Europe’s future? I hope not.

The UK is on a dark path (in every sense) now.

Hi @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP I appreciate you’re currently busy overseeing dawn raids on 11 year olds & plotting stopping people smoking outside etc. But I wonder what you’re doing about things like below. This is a roundabout I just passed in London. We have spoken to some of these men here before. They told us they were from places like Sudan & Kuwait. Some say their asylum claims have been rejected. Others say they have apparently been approved. But, irrespective, they have decided to set-up camp here…

[Michelle Dewberry]

If you don’t sort this out @Keir_Starmer @metpoliceuk @RachelReevesMP @YvetteCooperMP this will become like the massive camps in Nigeria and you will never get rid of them and it will become dangerous for all.

God knows I want illegals gone but now you’re ignoring them along with our own homeless whom none of you ever do anything for! This is a disaster waiting to get out of hand and makes our city look like a ruddy dump!

Whilst on the subject what are you planning to do to help our own English homeless this winter! Many ex-servicemen who you and @Conservatives ignored last 14 years!

…and another £3 billion every year going to the dictator Zelensky’s Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

Starmer’s choice(s). As the Spanish proverb says, “do what you will, and pay for it.

Nothing to see here. Just Simon Myerson KC re-posting a total wing-nut who: – says a man facing a terrorism trial is a founder of a terrorist group – comments on facts/evidence likely to be heard at trial – says it’s all excellent news and congratulates the police. Anyone for contempt of court?

[James Wilson]

Myerson has already been removed from the Bench (he was a Recorder —p/t judge for a relatively brief time) by reason of his intemperate social media posts and (in my opinion) obvious bias. He was unfit to sit in judgment over others. I myself called for his removal, on the blog.

Perhaps he should be disbarred as well.

https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/for-the-public/reporting-concerns.html

I myself was (wrongfully and unlawfully) disbarred in 2016 because of a mere 5 tweets critical of Jew-Zionist behaviour and influence. Myerson was and is a member of the Jewish group “UK Lawyers for Israel”, which was behind the malicious and politically-motivated complaint against me.

As regular readers of the blog will know, I spent a year living in Kazakhstan (1996-1997, in Almaty, the capital at that time). I have also been (several times) to the Roerich Museum on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Our government was unwilling to prevent 1,350 migrants from illegally crossing our borders over the last 3 days*, but they intend to enforce a law that could ban people in England from smoking in pub gardens and outdoor venues.

Everything I have written about Starmer’s nature and character over the past few years is now proving to have been accurate.

Equivalent to the population of towns such as Truro, or Penzance.

The figure for the whole of 2024 might be as high as 40,000. That of course is only about 5%, maybe less, of the whole migration-invasion this year. All those “fiances”, “spouses”, “tourists” (who then never go home), “work visa entrants”, “legal” asylum-claimers, “family members” etc. A million at least.

This is obviously not going to be stopped or even slowed by Starmer-Labour, so we are heading for national catastrophe.

The Kiev regime just keeps pushing and pushing. Its only hope is for NATO to be dragged into direct conflict with the Russian Federation, and that dreadful possibility is becoming more likely with every passing day.

In other words, the Jew Zelensky wants Russia to flatten Kharkov or even Kiev, so that idiots in the NATO set-up decide to “respond” by attacking Russian forces, or by giving the Kiev regime missiles capable of reaching Moscow or Petersburg, and approving the use of them. Madness.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

[“Off with their heads!“]

Morning music

The overcrowded prisons, the aftermath of the recent protests, and about real criminals released early

There are nuances in the situation, and a few minor objections might be made to that amiable rant, but fundamentally he is right. Even the Guardian admits it: https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/17/fresh-uk-prisons-crisis-as-riots-lead-to-fears-of-overcrowding.

Basically, 1,000+ people have now been arrested following the recent protests and connected minor “riots” (or violent outbreaks) here and there.

Many of those people have been charged, and many of those have been remanded in custody, meaning put into prison until trial (which might be as long as a year or more later, unless fast-tracked). Those who have pleaded guilty so far mostly seem to have been imprisoned anyway.

The fact is that many (probably almost all) of those imprisoned, either pending trial or after having pleaded guilty, are not in any way, even in the lay sense, “dangerous”. Many have no previous convictions, and even those who do (and the sentences of which have been reported after guilty pleas) have convictions mainly for non-violent offences (shoplifting, drugs etc).

What Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and (absurdly) Shabana Mahmood, have done is to release known and active criminals early (many non-white, and after they have completed only 40% of their sentences), in order to free up space which is now being used to incarcerate English people who are, almost all, not active criminals.

Those released early under that scheme will, many of them, re-offend within a fairly short space of time, whereas relatively few of those arrested in the aftermath of the recent protests will re-offend at all, ever, and certainly not in terms of violent disorder. That of course applies even more to those arrested/charged/imprisoned because they merely made comments, justified or otherwise, on social media.

It is beginning to look very much as though Starmer, Yvette Cooper, and the ridiculous Shabana Mahmood (currently posing as “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice) have no idea what they are doing. To me, their over-reaction to the recent minor disorders that took place (by English people— those done by Roma Gypsies in Leeds, and Pakistanis in Birmingham etc, have gone largely unpunished) seems much like that of the Queen of Hearts in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “Off with their heads!

[“Off with their heads!“]

Incidentally, was there ever a “Lord Chancellor” and Justice Secretary less qualified? A moot point after some in recent years, I concede. However, Shabana Mahmood is an absurd choice for the role. She was only at the practising Bar for a few months, if that (after a year of pupillage), and then worked as a salaried gopher in a firm of solicitors, and only for a couple of years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career.

Shabana Mahmood’s entire legal career only lasted about 3-4 years.

She was probably appointed to placate the Pakistani Muslim element in the UK.

Pakistanis as such are now about 3% of the population; Muslims as a whole (many of which are also Pakistani but born in the UK) comprise 6% of the UK population now. Both anyway are significant voting blocs, and important in general political terms.

Kursk incursion

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/18/zelenskiy-ukraine-shock-russia-offensive-incursion

Nearly early two weeks after its surprise incursion into Russia, Ukraine finds itself struggling to find a balance between seizing territory across the border in Kursk and losing it at the heart of the eastern front in central Donetsk.

On Friday, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, claimed advances were being made of up to two miles a day inside Russia, but Moscow’s forces have gained about three miles this month as the Kremlin bets heavily on capturing the hub of Pokrovsk.

In Pokrovsk, meanwhile, officials have stepped up civilian evacuations. Serhiy Dobryak, head of the city military administration, warned that Russian forces had “almost approached” the city and that alarm about its future was growing.

Until a year ago, Pokrovsk was considered safe enough to act as a regional base where journalists and aid workers could stay overnight. Its road and rail connections link the central city of Dnipro with Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Capturing it would in effect cut the part of Donetsk oblast still in Ukrainian hands in two.

There are persistent rumours that Col Emil Ishkulov, the popular commander of Ukraine’s 80th brigade, now among those involved in the incursion into Kursk, was removed from his position at the end of July because he was opposed to the incursion into Russia – unsure his unit had the strength for the task. At the time, soldiers from the unit issued an unsuccessful public appeal for him to be reinstated.

Sumy, which has a population of about 250,000, has remained busy and lively in the summer heat, though the noise of explosions from Russian glide bombs in the distance stepped up over last week. Its hospitals, though, have been filling up with frontline casualties, and an appeals for blood donations went out to help treat wounded soldiers a week ago. It took an hour for the need to be met.

The city has also received about 4,000 people fleeing the agricultural villages in the area towards the border in the north, many of whom plan to rent apartments.

In the border zone, six miles from the boundary, meanwhile, only a tiny handful of civilians and little functioning infrastructure remain. One shop with smashed windows was still selling groceries, but most places were boarded up. An aid agency, Global Empowerment Mission, supplies nearly 26,000 food rations every month because market supplies are absent, visiting frontline villages every week to distribute to the remaining population.

[Guardian]

I recently examined this situation on the blog. My thoughts were that either Putin might push the incursion forces back using conventional military means, or blast the entire area from the air, destroying the Kiev-regime forces (as well as any unfortunate Russian and Ukrainian villagers still trying to live there).

Another possibility, less likely, would be a massive bombardment of either Kharkov or Kiev, using bombers and missiles.

Now, I have come to think that there is a fourth possibility, one which has roots in Russian and Soviet history.

When, as Tolstoy put it, in War and Peace, “the forces of Western Europe invaded Russia” in 1812 (the forces commanded by Napoleon were not all French, though about two-thirds were), the strategy adopted by the Russian leadership under Kutuzov, once he was appointed, was to withdraw and withdraw out of reach, while carrying out some limited flanking attacks and what we might now term “special operations”.

According to the preferred strategy, St. Petersburg, the capital, was protected both by troops and by distance, and so was never threatened by the Grande Armee. Moscow, however, was abandoned and set on fire.

Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow was famously disastrous, his armies all but destroyed by attritional flank attacks, cold, lack of food, and by disease.

Of the initial half million men, only about 100,000 made it back to France or other countries.

On 24 June 1812 and subsequent days, the initial wave of the multinational Grande Armée crossed the Niemen River, marking the entry from the Duchy of Warsaw into Russia.

Employing extensive forced marches, Napoleon rapidly advanced his army of nearly half a million individuals through Western Russia, encompassing present-day Belarus, in a bid to dismantle the disparate Russian forces led by Barclay de Tolly and Pyotr Bagration totaling approximately 180,000–220,000 soldiers at that juncture.[21][22]

Despite losing half of his men within six weeks due to extreme weather conditions, diseases and scarcity of provisions, Napoleon emerged victorious in the Battle of Smolensk. However, the Russian Army, now commanded by Mikhail Kutuzov, opted for a strategic retreat, employing attrition warfare against Napoleon compelling the invaders to rely on an inadequate supply system, incapable of sustaining their vast army in the field.

[Wikipedia]

In the German invasion and war of 1941-1945, the Wehrmacht advanced to within sight of central Moscow, but were then held and pushed back. Stalin was unwilling to abandon Moscow, the capital, for reasons of morale and administration.

However, elsewhere in European Russia, the Stavka (high command) allowed the Germans to advance and advance into the apparently limitless space (prostor, in the Russian word), as the German supply lines became elongated and eventually unable to supply enough food and ammunition; this came to a head particularly during the battle for Stalingrad.

Reverting to the Kursk situation in 2024, it can be seen that the operation was designed by Zelensky, against the advice of some of his commanders, as a public relations exercise. The suppliers of arms and vast amounts of Western taxpayers’ money had to be shown that the Kiev-regime forces were not beaten. Those forces achieved surprise, and, at first, considerable success.

The area presently held seems to be less than 1,000 sq. km: https://www.ft.com/content/84c60abe-1eab-4440-8511-c13218c7bbe7. That is rather more than twice the size of the Isle of Wight.

The Kiev-regime forces were advancing several miles a day in that Kursk border region, but have probably now almost stopped.

Russian forces far to the south, in the Donbass, are advancing 1-3 miles a day, apparently. The Kiev-regime forces are outmannned and outgunned there, a situation made worse by the use of some experienced Ukrainian troops for the Kursk incursion.

What Putin could do (though it might be politically difficult) would be to do little but just about hold the line in the Kursk region, or even fall back on Kursk city (about 30-40 miles from the present front-line), while pounding the Kiev-regime supply lines and rear echelon areas. The Kiev regime forces do not have the manpower or ammunition etc to advance endlessly. Their tide may already have reached its fullest extent.

In other words, Putin could almost let those Kiev-regime forces in the Kursk region “die on the vine”, in MacArthur’s memorable phrase.

Once those Kiev regime forces are stuck in the Kursk region, or have retreated, or are destroyed, those forces will not be able to be deployed, or re-deployed, on the Donbass front. Even now, it looks as though Russian forces will soon split the Kiev-regime forces there into two. Once that results in further crumbling of the front, startling Russian advances may be seen, either in the next few months or next summer. All of Eastern Ukraine may fall to Russian forces in 2025.

The Notting Hill Carnival should never have been allowed in the first place, and should be terminated now but will not be, because the Government is afraid of weeks of rioting and looting by blacks if such a step were to be taken.

I attended that carnival once, out of curiosity. In the early or mid 1980s. Absolutely ghastly. Intolerable noise, mostly from horrible amplified “music”. Intolerable crowds. Also, no way of getting out without walking miles. In the end, I walked all the way back to Little Venice.

Another strange Mark Lewis tale

So it seems that the “poor and victimized” Jewish couple, supposedly targeted by an American black comedian, then booed out of an Edinburgh Fringe comedy show by the irritated audience, were none other than Mark Lewis, the egregious self-promoting solicitor, and his wife/partner/carer Mandy Blumenthal. They made a big fuss about emigrating to Israel six years ago. They said that Britain was too “antisemitic” for them to remain here, and so were, in effect, getting out while they could.

A pack of lies. They spend quite a bit of time here, and do not seem to feel any obligation to stay and help Israel in its hour of need.

If those tweets by Reginald D. Hunter are true (accurate), that puts another complexion on the “victimized Jewish couple” story as first published and broadcast recently.

First of all, one has to ask why Lewis and his companion went to such a show in the first place, if the comedian, one Reginald D. Hunter, is known for being “antisemitic” (I have to admit that I had never heard of him at all).

What was their motive even for going there if they were aware of the comedian’s expressed views?

It will be remembered by some that Mandy Blumenthal deliberately tried to book passage, quite many years ago, on a Middle Eastern airline operating out of Heathrow, and made it known that she was Jewish (perhaps using her Israeli passport rather than her UK one). Once refused by the airline, a “typical” fuss was made, both at the airport and in the (((Press))), and the airline quickly stumped up, apparently, quite a few thousand pounds by way of “compensation” (to shut her up).

Is this yet another cynical way to get money, this time out of the comedian, the promoter or the theatre? Was the whole thing contrived in advance, like that airline scam, or not? We do not know, and can only try to draw logical conclusions from what we know.

Incidentally, here is the Times of Israel report about the airline “compensation” scam: https://www.timesofisrael.com/kuwait-air-to-compensate-israeli-for-refusing-to-fly-her-report/. It makes clear that lawyers from “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] helped Mandy Blumenthal to make her claim, which resulted in her receiving “substantial damages“.

Mark Lewis is —quelle surprise— a member, indeed perhaps even a leading member, of UKLFI, as well as the notorious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], both of which have been involved in attacking me over recent years (since 2014): see, eg, https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Reading about what the comedian said on stage, it seems that he recognized the “anonymous” Jewish couple of the Press stories, and that that is why he said that he had been “waiting” for Lewis, assuming that it was Lewis, to turn up:

During the furore, Hunter, 55, appeared to double down on his initial joke, telling the couple: “I’ve been waiting for you all summer, where the f*** you been?” [Jewish Chronicle]. https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/israeli-couple-hounded-out-of-reginald-d-hunter-fringe-show-as-he-makes-jokes-about-jews-g6dtt4ip.

Lewis has been in considerable legal trouble recently: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/07/26/diary-blog-26-july-2024-including-the-latest-news-about-the-unprofessional-behaviour-of-mark-lewis-lawyer/.

As for his previous history, the blog post below covers, or has links about, Lewis’s previous and rather inglorious activities: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/20/self-publicizing-supposed-top-lawyer-mark-lewis-full-transcript-of-disciplinary-hearing-judgment-now-released-by-tribunal/.

That’s even before one considers the way in which he treated his ex-wife, one-time low-level TV face, and radio voice (now washed-up and over the hill), Caroline Feraday. I have little time for her anyway, so let’s leave that aside for now (she joined with Lewis in abusing me very unpleasantly on Twitter, about 12 years ago, so she deserved to suffer once she married him, in my view).

As for that Daily Mail scribbler who claims to have “tracked down” the “Jewish couple”, that is none other than Sabrina Miller, who was at the centre of the contrived storm around anti-Zionist academic Dr. David Miller [https://x.com/Tracking_Power] formerly of Bristol University, who was sacked but later won at an employment tribunal: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/05/bristol-university-professor-discrimination-anti-zionist/; and https://www.gbnews.com/news/anti-zionist-professor-wins-landmark-case-against-unfair-dismissal-video.

Sabrina Miller, when a vociferous Jewish girl student at Bristol, found time to defend Jewish-lobby-puppet and then-MP, Ian Austin, who had tweeted that bestiality pornography and other similar material should be decriminalized. Now she is a “journalist” with the Daily Mail.

The Mail might not have the best reputation, but it really should draw the line at contrived “stories” such as this Edinburgh Fringe scam.

Looks to me as though the audience recognized Lewis specifically, and were loudly disapproving for that reason.

As for the comedian, the promoter (if any), and the theatre, they should resist any contrived legal claim that “any” ambulance-chaser might make…

More tweets seen

This all makes me feel that “a certain person” was right (about “them”)…

Lewis must be desperate to invent a case…

The Daily Mail should sack Sabrina Miller. Jews always demand sackings for far less default, so what is good for the goose, etc…

As I surmised.

(((Typical)))

What does Starmer think those imprisoned protesters, tweeters, Facebook posters feel about the UK government of traitors now? Happy? Angry? Determined?

God help John Betjeman, were he still alive. “Come, friendly German bombers, and drop your bombs on Slough“… he would probably be arrested by the “Anti-Terror Command” or other poundshop UK Stasi police, and/or imprisoned for years.

Almost anything now published or spoken by msm scribblers and talking heads can be discounted. If they ever cross the line into uncomfortable and “unapproved” reality, they soon lose those lucrative jobs— and they know it.

All in the Donbass, where Russian forces are now steadily advancing at a rate of up to 3 miles per day.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

Diary Blog, 17 August 2024, with thoughts about David Starkey, dissidence, free speech

Morning music

[Knightsbridge, 1930s]

Saturday quiz

A poor week. I scored only the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, and 5; had I thought a bit more, I should also have recalled no. 9 and no. 10.

Talking point

As David Starkey says, Starmer is (along with others and, particularly but not exclusively, in “the party formerly known as Labour”) attempting to institute a kind of “woke” and multikulti police state.

Where I differ from Starkey is in having no faith in the idea that a different ethos of national identity can suddenly emerge or be fostered, not without a homogenous population. The UK population is going the other way, becoming ever-more heterogenous, and spinning out of control.

I also differ from Starkey in that he thinks, or hopes, that, if he or someone else puts forward a reasoned and reasonable argument, eventually people will accept the propositions put forward. The credo of the traditional or classical academic.

All very well, as far as it goes, but Mao put forward the credo of Realpolitik, that is “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun“.

Not that that I agree wholeheartedly with that Maoist quotation either. The —by any other name— “revolution” in the DDR/East Germany in 1989 was not violent. There were vast, though peaceful, demonstrations in several major DDR cities (Dresden, Leipzig etc). The Lutheran Church was part of all that.

The East German state was still arresting some dissidents even in 1989, but the heart had gone. I recall the strange feeling I had when spending a couple of days in the DDR in 1988. Like a stage set of a state rather than a real one, an impression made stronger by the seemingly almost-depopulated southern parts of East Germany through which I travelled by car. I have blogged once or twice previously about my impressions of the place(s).

As a matter of fact, the slightly contrived “revolutions” of the late 1980s in Romania, Czechoslovakia etc were mainly non-violent, as they were in the pribaltika (Baltic states). I myself saw Czechoslovakia briefly in 1988, just before it all happened, and was in Poland several times in 1988 and 1989.

In Poland, even in 1988, one got the impression that the state there was going through the motions of being a “socialist” state but that, just under the surface, the whole population, pretty much, was “dissident” in one way or another; a kind of vast, non-violent anti-socialist conspiracy of a whole people.

Even in the Soviet Union, a huge “revolution” happened over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly though not entirely peaceful, and including (as in Romania and elsewhere) many elements of the socialist-state structure.

Starkey is or was a Conservative, politically. He seems at least slightly taken with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. Why? The first is a Nigerian (though born in London) and so, in my opinion, unfitted by that fact alone to be a British political leader, let alone Prime Minister. I have, also, never heard anything worthwhile from her.

As to Jenrick, I have several problems with him too. He appears to be at least partly English, but his full provenance is not in the public domain; at least, I myself have never seen it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick#Early_life_and_non-political_career.

Born 1982, qualified late as solicitor, aged 26, but was in legal practice for only about 4 years (with two of the leading American law firms, sequentially; presumably quite junior), and was then (somehow; how?) a director of Christie’s auctioneers (though only until he became an MP a few months later).

Jenrick’s provenance interests me. It also disquiets.

Jenrick, yet another member of Conservative Friends of Israel, is tied up with Jewish businessmen and property-developer sharks, and pushed for the ruination of the small park by the Palace of Westminster by the proposed construction of a hugely-ugly “holocaust” “memorial” and propaganda centre.

In addition, Jenrick ordered, as minister for immigration, murals for children of migrant-invaders to be painted over because the colourful murals might give them pleasure and comfort.

No-one, I think, could accuse me of being either pro-immigration or in favour of granting privileges to migrant-invaders, but that mean-spirited targeting of any small children of such invaders by Jenrick felt morally wrong to me.

Like Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman and has had children with her.

Jenrick just feels wrong to me. He’s a bad apple.

As to the Starkey interview, while I can agree with much of what he says there, he is too much in the ivory tower in the end.

Ironically, for someone “cancelled” by the System for making “racist” remarks, he seems to me insufficiently so. How does he imagine this country will recover in the way that he hopes when 20% of the population is already non-European, and with another ~million coming in every year at present? Make that, conservatively, about a 2% increase annually.

It seems to me that Starkey knows in his heart that I am right (even if, as is quite likely, he has never heard of me), but fears to say so; don’t forget that he “apologized” and tried to retract after he was “cancelled”. Never pretend to apologize to either the mob or to “them” (((them))).

The video is worth watching, though.

Further talking points

Good grief.

Listen to that “muppet” (on the second video clip), one Benjamin Butterworth. Complete idiot. Complete traitor to this country’s people and their future, too. Former (?) Chairman of Young Labour (in London). Scribbled a few times for the Guardian some years ago, apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/profile/benjamin-butterworth.

Poor thinking skills. Very poor, in fact. A fanatic, but one with nothing of interest to say. Claims that “legal immigrants” (the vast majority of all immigrants) all “come into the country with a job“. A straight lie. Huge numbers enter as supposed “fiances”, “fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, “family members”, “asylum seekers” etc; and even those supposedly entering “with a job” (on work visas) are often not bona fide at all.

I fear that much of Starmer’s strongest support comes from semi-educated and anti-British fanatics of that sort.

I rather think that GB News had that Butterworth on because they knew that he would create a kind of petty storm among the discussion panel.

Interesting to note that the msm always applauds “resistance” (including violent “resistance”) in, for example, historically, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, and in various other parts of the world; in South America, even in contemporary North America and Europe, so long as Jews, non-whites, or sometimes Communist partisans, are doing the various forms of “protest”, but as soon as contemporary white people do the same, they must, apparently, be shut down, “cancelled”, even prosecuted and, indeed, even imprisoned. Not even because they have been violent, in fact. Look at Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech, Alison Chabloz, for singing satirical songs and posting cartoons; more recently, Sam Melia, for having published stickers the subject-matter of which was not even unlawful.

Remember “two-tier Keir” and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner being photographed literally “taking the knee” (bowing down before) the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense?

Carol Vorderman thinks that Nigel Farage is a snake-oil salesman. Well, not much argument from me on that, but wait until La Vorderman discovers the truth about Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc…

Of course, the main reason that Farage recently distanced himself from the English protests, and especially their riotous offshoots, was because he does not want OFCOM to pressure GB News to cut off his work (and money).

Well, I certainly hear what tweeter Paul Embery is saying there, but look at the alternative— Kamala Harris, a hugely-ignorant non-white who will be but a figurehead while the “Deep State” around her, and really running the show, foments war with Russia, a war they think they can “win” but which —if it happens— will leave Europe, as well as North America and European Russia, in irradiated ruins.

Dead men walking looting.

The only question is whether Putin will simply utilize conventional military methods to push the Kiev-regime forces out of that part of the Kursk region which they have recently invaded, or whether he will do something entirely unexpected by the Western msm, such as use very powerful bombs and missiles (even tactical nuclear ones) to blast clear the whole of the occupied area. There is an outside chance that he might even launch a massive air bombardment on Kharkov or even Kiev.

Whatever the Russian response is, the Kiev-regime forces will be unable to hold the recently-invaded territory. Zelensky himself has admitted as much, though saying that Kiev “is not interested” in doing so. If that is so, why invade that territory in the first place? Clearly, as a public relations exercise to keep Western arms and money flowing in.

Meanwhile, in the Donbass region to the south, Russian forces are steadily advancing at present. About a mile per day. Not spectacular, but the Kiev-regime forces, short of —most of all— soldiers, will have no chance of regaining those areas, or of stopping the Russian advance, all the more so now that some of the better Ukrainian detachments have been re-deployed to assist with the Kursk incursion.

Life in remote Western Siberia

A simple and, in many respects, hard life. Not completely isolated, though. I see that they seem to have electricity (“Socialism means Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country“— Lenin) , and that their milk comes from a carton rather than from their one cow.

The old lady is cooking (I think) manti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manti_(food)] or pelmeni [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelmeni], foods quite similar inter se, and not dissimilar to ravioli. Cuisine is not really my forte, so I had better say no more. As for what she is frying, maybe cubes of bacon, maybe pork fat.

The old man is seen mending his fishing traps (there is a nearby small river).

Retired people in Russia now get a pension of about £200 a month. Not much (under Yeltsin, it was only about £25, and not always paid), but it must go quite far in a Siberian village. Milk, tea, bread, flour etc.

It occurs to me that, were the world to be hit by nuclear war, and depending on how severe that would be, people of that type might survive better than those who live, as most of us do, in Western (or Russian) cities, towns, suburbs, or partly-suburbanized countryside.

As someone once said of the Louisiana Cajuns living in and around the Mississippi Delta, “when the rest of the world is starving, these people will still be eating.”

Starmer-Labour is clueless. The time for a National Wealth Fund would have been in the 1970s and onward, using North Sea Oil revenues, but the System parties gave most of the benefit to oil companies and foreign speculators.

Again, clueless. Mad. Crazed. Would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, who is closer to her evil dream than ever before, is even more of a police-statist than Starmer. She must be stopped. Starmer must be stopped.

I mean by that, journalism that points out loudly and often that the Starmer-Labour regime was “elected” on the votes of only 33.7% of those who voted, i.e. a third of the actual voters, and only 20% (if that) of all eligible voters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

This government has no real popular mandate.

Already, people who have nothing to do with “terrorism” (even taking the term at face value) are being snooped upon and sometimes raided by the police, under (some of them) their new-ish Stasi-lite grand title of “the Anti-Terror Command”. I think that even the satirical singer and entertainer Alison Chabloz was arrested by them one day, several years ago.

Or not.

People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?

“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.

George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys PC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”

[Wikipedia]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jeffreys,_1st_Baron_Jeffreys.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jeffreys,_1st_Baron_Jeffreys#Fall,_death_and_burial

[Judge Jeffreys]

This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a year https://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/

I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?

I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.

The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.

Surely appealable, at least on sentence.

Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.

Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.

Excessive.

Exactly my own experience.

(to British families or individuals only, though, not to migrant-invaders or any other non-Europeans).

Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).

Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.

People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES

Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.

When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.

It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

The vulgar mercantilist influence comes out in the language, and has for a number of years.

Apart from that, throwing money at a trade union or its members, in order to ensure a period without strikes, is easy enough, and not some masterstroke of Labour Party industrial relations.

Then compare that to the equally inaccurate and one-sided BBC and Sky News (etc) reportage about the Ukraine conflict, the migration-invasion and much else.

I agree completely. The UK has gone slowly mad in that regard over the past 50 years and especially the past 25 years.

Example(s) of and from what Katie Hopkins calls “Batshit Bonkers Britain”.

As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.

The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.

Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this

The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.

It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.

That sort of thing is being driven by relatively small groups within each occupation, profession, and vocation.

I cannot say anything directly on the blog because we now have so little free speech in the UK (by reason, indeed, of those same “small groups”), so I shall just say “are you thinking what I am thinking?“…

This is becoming like a scaled down and ridiculous copy of Stalin’s purges. As Marx noted, first time— tragedy, but second time— farce [Karl Marx, The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon].

Of course, that poor fellow quite wrongfully sentenced to 8 weeks in prison, will not see the (unfunny) joke, even though his 8 weeks will in the end be something like 3 (he will be out after 40% of the headline tariff).

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24513379.sellafield-worker-jailed-sharing-offensive-facebook-posts/

In my opinion, the defendant should have pleaded not guilty. Unfortunately, he seems to have pleaded guilty (perhaps on advice of his solicitor) to get a notional sentence reduction from 12 to 8 weeks.

See another recent case in the same area: https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24506682.maryport-man-jailed-facebook-post-police-bid-stop-disorder/

Starmer’s thoroughly wicked and unconstitutional suggestion (almost a demand, at least an expressed presumption) that anyone pleading not guilty to any charge arising —however peripherally— out of the recent protests) would be remanded in custody until trial (which these days might be months or even a year later) was a direct attack on the rule of law. Plainly intimidatory, and designed to make defendants cave and plead guilty.

The latest I heard, something like 700 arrests have been made. How many charges, I do not know.

The truth, of course, is now no defence, as I understood during my own free speech trial and sentencing (trial November 2023, sentencing March 2024: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/03/16/diary-blog-16-march-2024/

Compare those sentences of imprisonment merely for giving out a few online opinions (though the Court, “Clown” Prosecution Service and politicized police all try to make the “offences” seem far worse) with those handed down for real crimes committed in the same area, such as this one:

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/24509815.shoplifter-denies-threatening-stab-carlisle-co-op-manager/

A thief told the manager of a Carlisle Co-op store who had caught him stealing alcohol that he would return and “stab him” if he called the police, magistrates heard.

The defence lawyer representing prolific offender Elijah Ali, 34, told the city’s Rickergate court that the defendant denied making the threat. He did, however, plead guilty to the theft and to using threatening behaviour.

Prosecutor George Shelley outlined the facts.

He said the defendant and a second unknown male walked into the Central Avenue branch of Co-op at around 9.30pm on August 5 and began brazenly stealing alcohol from the shelves, picking up “numerous” bottles of booze and putting them in Ali’s jacket.

This prompted the store’s manager to make a 999 call, reporting that a theft was in progress and requesting urgent help.

The second male left the store but as he left, said Mr Shelley, Ali told the store manager: “If you call the police, I’m going to come back and stab you. That placed [the manager] in a state of fear.”

Ali’s record comprises 98 previous offences, 25 of them thefts and kindred crimes. “He’s a prolific offender,” said Mr Shelley.

Magistrates imposed a £200 fine and told Ali to pay the Co-op compensation of £200 as well as £85 costs and a surcharge.

So a few online comments about a news item results in immediate imprisonment, but for a “prolific thief” (called Ali) with 98 previous convictions, and who threatened to stab a shop manager, only a minor fine (probably paid off at £5 a week).

Any comment, “Prime Minister”? That’s you, two-tier Keir.

Bureaucrat-drone-dictator Starmer thinks that, by repressing free speech following the recent protests (and their riotous offshoots), he has somehow “solved” the problem that came across his desk. No. Every one of those recently sentenced, or sitting in some overcrowded jungle prison awaiting trial or sentence, now resents and hates Starmer and also the multikulti police state which he, Yvette Cooper, and Rachel Reeves, now head.

What does Starmer imagine will be happening in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with British people scarcely able to make a living, to pay exorbitant rents, to buy houses the cheapest of which cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, or to walk the streets of their own cities safely?

Every day, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of migrant-invaders arrive illegally on our shores. Thousands more, every day, enter at least quasi-“legally”.

Britain is heading for a dystopian conflict never seen before.

Maybe also making “holocaust” “denial” (i.e. examination and historical revision, particularly of events of the 1940s and 1930s) illegal in the UK. Don’t forget that Starmer is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and that his wife is Jewish.

Don’t forget the others, the ~1,000,000 migrant-invaders that entered “legally” in the past year, or the births to non-European mothers.

I bet that the airlines still flying out of Israel have their flights fully-booked.

Europe should be standing with Russia, for the future of European culture and civilization.

Kiev-regime announcement

The Kiev regime has announced that it “is not interested” in hanging on to the little strip of land it recently invaded in the Kursk region of Russia.

Translation: the forces of the Kiev regime only made the incursion so that Zelensky and his cabal could claim to Western mass media that they are “winning”, or at least continuing to fight.

In reality, the Kiev-regime incursion forces, mostly press-ganged and poorly-trained serf-soldiers, have been mainly wiped out, and the rest are —literally— dying to be able to drive back over the border to Ukraine and relative safety.

The Kiev-regime incursion was never sustainable; the territory gained for a day or two, or a week or two, could never have been held.

I am worried, though, for the dim Ukrainian soldiers and their grieving, or soon-to-be-grieving families, and also for the Russian civilian families in the Kursk border region, their lives disrupted by this stupid publicity stunt.

At the same time, the Russian advance in the south-east continues steadily.

Strange. I have read about the increase in alcohol consumption during the “lockdown” nonsense or 2020-2021. I went the other way, almost stopping my relatively-modest consumption.

There have been times in my life when I drank little or nothing, other times when my consumption was quite high. I suppose the latter was true of when I was living in the former Soviet Union, in the Caribbean, and in France, as well as when I was practising at the English Bar (during the years 1992-1996 and 2002-2008).

Now, most days, I drink no alcohol at all. No particular reason predominates. It may be partly a function of increasing age (I shall be 68 next month, ironically on the same day as the birthday of “two-tier Keir” Starmer, though he is six years younger than me).

Another reason is that the wines, especially the red wines, that I once liked, such as Chateau Margaux, are extremely expensive (I suppose they always were, but that I notice it more now), or are hard to source (some Moldavian and Georgian wines).

One kind of booze I do like is what the French term eaux de vie, such as 40%+ Kirsch and Poire Williams etc.

A Central and Eastern European taste too, that I must have picked up somewhere or other, is Slivovitz (plum spirit), which UK Lidl had on sale recently (I bought 2 bottles, 42% alc.), and what the Hungarians call palinka, fruit spirit, which may be distilled from one fruit, or a mixture. Apricot is probably my favourite, though I have not had any for well over 20 years.

On a hot day, though, beer is often the best drink (apart from water). I used to like (30-40 years ago), Zhiguli beer from Russia, which was at that time sold in the UK, in Selfridges. Czech beer is pretty good, of course, as is some Polish.

When I was living in Turkey for a few months, I liked Tekel beer, made by a State enterprise. It no longer exists, at least in that form.

One type of wine that I liked a lot in the 1980s, and early 1990s, was the kind of white wine produced in Australia at that time, especially heavily-oaked quality Chardonnay. Harder to find now, of the same type. Maybe tastes have changed, and the producers have followed suit..

As I noted on the blog during the “Covid” hysteria, the self-describing “left”, including almost all of the “human rights” tribe, were all in favour of more severe “lockdowns”, more severe penalties, dissidents and people ignoring the “Covid” hysteria to have all civil rights taken away, deprived of all medical treatment, even when entirely unconnected to “the virus” etc.

Indeed, the self-describing “left” has lost of of its former ideology and direction, and seems to exist purely to cheer on the right labels (“Covid”, “Ukraine”, “BLM”, “trans”-whatever) and of course “Labour”, despite Labour (also) having lost all or 99% of its former ethos. That, and to “deplatform” from everywhere possible any people who are labelled derogatively by them.

Professor Tettenborn is someone I met a couple of times in Exeter circa 2002-2003. He was at that time the professor at the law faculty of Exeter University. I was in a small set of barristers (now very much larger and, under another name, the largest in the South West outside Bristol; the former head of my old set is now a Circuit Judge).

I sat with Professor Tettenborn and another as a notional “Lord Justice of Appeal” at a moot competition held in the Guildhall at Exeter in mid-2002. My only day as a Lord Justice of Appeal, or indeed any sort of judge.

Incidentally, the winner of the moot (out of three student contenders) was a young Anglo-Armenian who had engaged in some sharp practice during the competition. We three “Lords Justices of Appeal” discussed disqualifying him, but in the end relented. As a student advocate, he was head and shoulders above the other two students, and we thought that that had to be recognized.

A few years later, as a young barrister, the same person got into trouble over allegations of sex harassment (not in my own Chambers but another set), I heard. Not sure whether that went to the Bar Standards Board (I think it did), but the person in question is still, I believe, at the Bar and still based in Exeter; I think that he was also, quite a few years ago, an unsuccessful Conservative candidate for MP at Exeter.

All a long time ago now.

Professor Tettenborn also made a very cogent case at the Law Commission inquiry as to whether the very bad law known as Communications Act 2003, s.127, should be repealed. That was what was recommended, but the section has so far not been repealed, and is regularly misused either by the police/CPS or by the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Ironic. I myself was noted at the end of that Law Commission report as having been a contributor, yet was myself later a victim of that same bad law: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/03/16/diary-blog-16-march-2024/.

The evil in Yvette Cooper is patent. It cannot be concealed.

Expenses cheat. Money-grubber. Pro-mass-immigration. Dishonest. Hypocrite. Member of Labour Friends of Israel. Hostile to free speech. Would-be dictator. I hate everything about Yvette Cooper.

That is the sort of thing that happens when the population of a country only takes interest in rubbish such as spectator team sports, the Olympics, similar mass-oriented TV programming etc, and abdicates its citizen-responsibilities, leaving the field to NWO/ZOG puppets posing as “mainstream” politicians. The UK is much the same, as is the USA.

“More than 700 migrants cross the Channel to Britain in a single day.

[France 24]

700. In a single day. So 700 migrant-invaders, all of which will now “have to be” sheltered, fed, given medical services, provided with cash etc. Call it £20,000 or more each per year, indefinitely. Then add costs of policing, courts, prison etc once some (if only a minority; so be it) start criminal activity. £30,000+ each per year. Overall, in conservative terms, Between £15M and £25M a year. That’s for ONE DAY’S CONTINGENT…

£25M that will now not be spent on British people, for British people’s health, welfare, transport, education, future.

I hate the traitors who enable this, from Starmer and Yvette Cooper (and most other Labour, LibDem and Con MPs) to the narcissistic, smug, allegedly or self-regardingly “well-meaning” idiots who hold up “refugees welcome” signs, tweet virtue-signalling nonsense, or oppose British people protesting about the evil.

I may not agree with everything Katie Hopkins says, and am not quite at one with her ideologically, but she is right about at least some of the big things.

Thankfully, the ridiculous Schauspiel for the masses called “the Olympics” largely passed me by (as usual), apart from my having seen video clips and photos of the “Satanic” (?) opening ceremony.

Of course, the “British” msm went crazy because the supposedly Brit team called “Team GB” won a few meaningless medals. Yawn.

The unlucky Ukrainian soldiers used in the Kursk incursion are, like all the Kiev-regime soldiery, being used by Zelensky’s evil regime as cannon-fodder. Dispensable. Many were press-ganged into service. Few if any now are volunteers.

As blogged previously, even were the Kiev regime forces to reach Kursk (city), the centre of the region, their extended lines would be vulnerable to both air (including missile) attack and also to flank attacks by armour and infantry. I also doubt whether the Kiev-regime forces can resupply an extended line of incursion for very long.

So far, it looks as though the forces of the Kiev regime have penetrated to a depth of about 20 miles from the border line.

The Kursk offensive comes after weeks of Russian advances in the east, where a succession of villages have been captured by the Kremlin’s forces.” [BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkm08rv5m0o].

Note that, until now, the “free” UK/US msm has not reported even in passing that the Russian forces are achieving victory in the south-east and east of Ukraine.

The Kiev-regime incursion may have reached a depth of about 30 miles in some areas, such as the Lezhinka area noted in the BBC report, but that is still a long way (maybe 50 miles) from the city of Kursk itself.

Kursk (city) is about 327 miles from Moscow.

The world-conquering armoured and other forces of the German Reich faltered amid the huge empty spaces of (even) European Russia in the early 1940s. How much more pointless and unlikely to succeed is this Kiev-regime incursion, with its unwilling and poorly-trained soldiers?

In the end, were Russian forces to have to fall back to Kursk (city), which I feel is highly unlikely anyway, the Russian “stavka” (high command) could use masses of advanced conventional weapons such as thermobaric missiles and bombs to completely annihilate the Kiev-regime advance.

Actually, I feel sorry for the Ukrainian soldiers (and their families), who are mere pawns in the corrupt evil game of the Jew Zelensky and his Kiev cabal.

German expert: The maneuver in Kursk could mark the military end of Ukraine “

An attack on the Kursk area could lead to the military end of Ukraine, because its armed forces are inferior to the Russian army.

The Ukrainian brigades deployed in Donbass are quite worn out and were waiting to be replaced by new forces, which are now used to attack Kursk “, said Gustav Gressel in an interview for “Spiegel”.”

That Graham idiot is a complete Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet, so his idea is not entirely unexpected.

I doubt that many retirement-age American pilots are desperate enough to want to fly for the Kiev regime, though. Even were the pay to be high, so is the chance of coming back to the USA in a body bag (if the pieces can be found). 20 years in the present version of the Gulag Archipelago is also rather uninviting.

I was slightly acquainted in 1996-1997 with a group of civilian American pilots in Kazakhstan, ex-Eastern Airlines, hired to fly the Kazakh President’s Boeing aircraft. Nice fellows, who had been cheated out of their pension in the U.S., but complete fish out of water in the post-Soviet and Russophone environment of Almaty. They could not even say hello or ask for a cup of coffee, and lived an isolated life in a dacha on the edge of town.

I wish I had one!

Eventually, this society will just break under the weight of numbers. Then we’ll see…

That’s right…it is not…

So, in the end, British free speech and civil rights were killed off, not by “Nazis”, and not by Communists (as such), but by a bespectacled, mealy-mouthed, charisma-free, little bureaucrat-lawyer turned Labour Party MP, with a Jewish wife and some buy-to-let properties.

“Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) echoing, inter alia, my recent blog posts about the lack of legitimate mandate for Starmer-Labour. As said previously, out of every 20 people eligible to vote at GE 2024, 8 decided not to vote at all, perhaps because no social-national party or movement exists (as yet).

Out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour (Con 3, Reform UK 2, LibDems 2, Greens 1), in rough terms.

The Starmer-Labour government has no legitimacy, and no mandate.

Colonies on other planets

Well, sad to say, that is nonsense. Human beings cannot live on other planets (the ones we know about) because the atmospheres are poisonous, and because the gravity is either too little or too great (meaning the human body cannot, over time, take the stresses).

There is no soil or water on other known planets which might be available for agriculture.

Other planets in our solar system are either too hot or too cold for human life to survive.

Several known planets are “gas giants”, and have no hard surface on which even to land or locate an artificial colony.

There is no way (short of somehow living in giant glass bubbles) for human beings even to live on the Moon, let alone Mars or Jupiter. There is also no point in human beings living —if they could— on other planets.

This whole idea of interplanetary colonization is a waste of effort. What it comes down to is a few billionaires who, however you look at it, have far too much money, and who are engaged in a puerile competition with each other, the prize seeming to be the status of having been the first to send loads of affluent tourists on joy-trips around the Earth and, eventually, Moon.

Incidentally, using current technology, it would take 200+ days to reach Mars. Jupiter? Between 600 days to get close, but up to 2,000 days to get into Jupiter’s orbit and/or land. So 2-6 years. Uranus? Perhaps 9 years. Neptune? Estimates vary between 9 and 18 years.

The Russian Army has destroyed a column of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment that broke through in the Kursk region.

The enemy was moving in the Malaya Loknya area – this is approximately 15-20 km from the border.

The equipment stopped, where it was overtaken. The vehicles were destroyed by Ka-52M helicopters, and the infantry in the forest was finished off by artillery.

The Ukrainian (Kiev regime) advance appears to have no goal other than to reassure the suppliers of money and weapons in the West: “look what we can do!” etc.

The Kiev regime has insufficient men and armour to penetrate Russia more deeply, and it has no supply capability for such a serious operation. The Kiev regime advance will (even taking it at face value) run out of steam and then be unable to resupply its columns.

If the Wehrmacht in the early 1940s found itself lost in the vast prostor (apparently-limitless space) of Russia, how could Zelensky’s pitiful forces do better?

Is the Kiev regime trying to get Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons (either in the field or on Kiev) as a way of dragging NATO into the war directly? Let us hope not.

So despite the relatively young age of the defendant, despite the fact that the judge decided not to ask for any pre-sentence reports, and despite the fact that the defendant pleaded guilty, the judge in his wisdom decided to inflict upon the defendant an immediate custodial sentence of no less than 3 years (plus that mean little extra two months). Purely political, emanating from “two-tier Keir”, his recent poundshop-dictatorship speech, and his pathetic “Lord Chancellor” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career].

I know nothing about the case or the defendant but, in view of the harsh sentence, frankly my feeling is that he might as well have pleaded not guilty and gone for jury trial. He might have struck lucky.

It occurs to me that the present wave of repression in the UK has, as its psychological foundation, the way in which a medically-camouflaged police state structure of law and regulation was set up during 2020-2021; the years of the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic. The System was interested to see how craven most people were, meekly giving in to the demand to “wear a mask!” (in some places but not in others), “keep 2 metres apart!” (in some places) and all the other nonsense, such as the crazy and arbitrary “Rule of 6” made up by stupid poseur “Boris” Johnson. All that and, even more Draconian, the “lockdown(s)”.

We saw during the “panicdemic” how the courts at first went along with all the nonsense, though sense generally prevailed later on. As for the police, their behaviour during the “Covid” scam was nothing short of absolutely disgusting. Now look— they are again acting as a poundland KGB or Stasi.

You must be joking…

The media narrative that endowed the [defunct] English Defence League & right-wing figures with formidable organising resources was & remains the invention of the propaganda machine of the British Establishment.

No doubt right-wing activists posted provocative statements & a handful participated in rioting. But their influence has been blown out of proportion to inflate the role & threat posed by the far right”

– Frank Furedi Substack.

Quite. The bottle-throwers and/or “Tommy Robinson” fans are just an amorphous mass, pointed in this or that direction by those behind the “controlled opposition”.

This can only end one way, but under the already -considerable repression in the UK, I cannot specify anything without having to endure —yet again— the boring nuisance of having to talk to police drones at my door (as has happened a number of times in the past decade), and must therefore hope that readers can read between the lines, as in all authoritarian/totalitarian states…

Britain’s almost 60-year experiment in hate-speech legislation is a warning to the world. We first introduced an offence of ‘inciting racial hatred’ in 1965, in the Race Relations Act. Fast forward to today and we now have laws against ‘incitement to religious hatred’, ‘grossly offensive’ online communications and a police force who routinely harass women for calling men men on the internet. Cops have also taken to quietly recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’ against citizens’ names, when the pesky law gets in the way of their authoritarianism.

The upshot of this is a scale of speech-policing that is surely unprecedented in our history. In 2017, an investigation by The Times found that nine people a day were being arrested for ‘posting allegedly offensive messages online’ – with 3,395 arrested in 2016 alone. Even then, that investigation was limited to one piece of legislation – the Communications Act – and the real number is almost certainly higher, not least because many police forces didn’t respond to the survey. Greg Lukianoff, president of America’s estimable Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, argues that, on the basis of those partial numbers alone, Britain is comfortably locking up more people today for speech crimes than America did during the first Red Scare.

When people think of hate-speech laws they probably imagine some vicious fascist, being dawn-raided for airing toxic, ancient hatreds. There’s still a bit of that. But as those racist rioters remind us, while they are mercifully small in number, censoring racists doesn’t make racists go away – it just forces them to spew their bile out of sight, at the fringes and in fetid echo chambers, where they can’t be clocked or challenged. What’s more, there are many supposed speech criminals who – while offensive to some – are hardly dangerous bigots. There’s Count Dankula, the YouTuber who was convicted in Scotland for making a ‘grossly offensive’ comedy video in which he taught his pug to do a Nazi salute. Feminist Kate Scottow was convicted of causing ‘needless anxiety’ via persistent ‘misgendering’ – thankfully, that one was overturned. Christian street preachers are often arrested by the police for airing their predictably less-than-liberal views on homosexuality and transgenderism. This has been going on for decades now. Indeed, it’s been almost 20 years since Sam Brown, a student at Oxford University, was famously arrested for calling a police horse gay.

More alarmingly, the British state is increasingly taking an interest in things people say in private. There have been a few cases now in which people in England have been convicted for racist posts made in private WhatsApp groups. In Scotland, the great, sinister innovation of Humza Yousaf’s Hate Crime Act is that it forgoes the usual dwelling defence – a feature of existing hate-speech legislation that prohibits arrest over speech uttered in your own home. Now, any Scottish dinner-table chat could be a crime scene.

Certainly, incitement to violence, true threats and so on are crimes in every civilised society – even in America, where the First Amendment renders any censorship of speech and the press unconstitutional. But ‘incitement to hatred’ and ‘grossly offensive’ speech are different things entirely. One man’s hatred is another man’s passionately held moral conviction. Offence is always in the eye of the beholder. We all think we know hate or offence when we see it, but at the end of the day everyone will draw the line slightly differently. You’re then left with someone having to decide, and nowadays that means someone like Keir Starmer – a man who until about five minutes ago thought it is ‘not right’ to say that only women can have a cervix.

[Spiked magazine]

Part of all that is also to do with the numbers of people now in the UK who are actually either foreign and born overseas, or foreign, born of foreign parents, but in the UK.

Such people are now often to be found in public sector jobs, having acquired a degree from one of Britain’s new “universities” (with their ingrained “antifascist”-type bias). Police, probation people, civil servants, lawyers, academics, MPs, “journalists” (ill-informed scribblers), TV talking heads etc.

They are the foot-soldiers of the “woke” police state, and have no centuries of freedom of expression, or the struggles for that, to look back upon. They just have no inbred respect for free speech.

Sadly, their numbers now include English/British people as well, many of whom are entirely ignorant of English history, let alone world history, and have no respect for, or even understanding of, freedom of expression, free speech.

Another step on the UK’s road to perdition. Already, almost any criticism or even observation made about Jews, or Jewish behaviour, is likely to be treated as some kind of “hate speech”, either by police and CPS drones, or by the self-appointed defenders of Jewish/Zionist “entitlement”, such as the malicious and so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].

Already, the laws of the UK are such that almost any leading historical thinkers such as Jesus Christ, St. Paul, Luther, Marx, Nietzsche etc would be prosecuted were they alive and living in contemporary Britain.

(An old one, but still relevant on the whole).

Whatever the nuances of housing supply and demand, mass immigration is the major factor in driving up both purchase prices and rental costs.

Between 500,000 and a million new “inhabitants” in the UK every single year, almost all non-white, non-European, newcomers.

Only idiots such as now-washed-up former MP, Pakistani pro-Israel puppet and Muslim apostate, Sajid Javid cannot see, or refuse to accept, the connection

(Make that 10M+, though, not 4M…)

Let me get this straight: Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X. And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.

There is an historical precedent of sorts for what Starmer etc are doing.

In Stalin’s day, the Soviet criminal legal system regarded ordinary, i.e. real, criminals as “class allies“. They got far more lenient sentences for their crimes of acquisition or violence than either the so-called “former people” (aristocrats and the middle classes), i.e. “class enemies“, usually sentenced for what they were, rather than what they had done, or the political prisoners, the most harshly-treated of all, who were regarded as terrorists, saboteurs, or simple traitors, even if they had done nothing but write a socio-political critique, or even a poem.

“Counter-offensive against Russia” – Zelensky’s most risky decision, which has been secretly planned for months, Kiev is taking risks with the army and technology, according to The Times of London, citing sources

Main points from the article citing high sources in Kyiv:

Zelensky pressured the military leadership to start an offensive for months in complete secrecy.

In Kiev, they want to change the narrative that Ukraine is losing the war.

Ukraine would attack Russia even without Western permission.

This is the most risky decision since the beginning of the war, because Moscow will do everything to regain the territories.

The forces allocated for this operation range from 6,000 to 10,000 soldiers (probably more in reality).

The military leadership is ready to risk soldiers and expensive equipment in order to achieve something in this direction.

As blogged previously, this operation is a propaganda/public relations exercise.

The Kiev regime has no military objective in sight, unless it is to reach Kursk, 77 miles from Sudzha where the front-line seems to be at present.

In the unlikely event that the Kiev-regime forces reach and take Sudzha, and then move up the good-quality 2-lane highway to Kursk, all that will happen will be that those forces will be encircled and destroyed by air as well as armour.

The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, even recently recruited (pressed into service) ones. It also has no logistics capability to sustain a deep thrust into Russian territory. Russian air power must be all but unchallenged in the Kursk region.

Paul Mason, the pseudo-revolutionary System drone. I may be wrong, but he always gives me the impression of being a state and/or System asset of some kind.

That “Paul Shilly” person is the type I struggle to understand. Do people like him really think that the UK (or Europe in general) can take in millions, then tens or even hundreds of millions, of mostly very backward, useless, parasitic migrant-invaders, without limit? Do they really think that UK society can survive endless waves of backward parasites and/or enemies reaching our shores? Or do they secretly know that the migration invasion will destroy both society and our root-stock, and is that what the traitors really want?

Social-media “slacktivism” alone will not accomplish anything, of course.

Many people on Twitter/X talking about trivia such as “was he [the killer] really only 17?” and “why not name and shame him?”, as if that matters much.

The big picture is that the UK is now full of non-Europeans, who now comprise about 20% of the population (far more in London and other cities and towns).

The majority of the non-Europeans here, indeed the vast majority, are of no use whatever to an advanced economy and society (which Britain was and could again become, indeed to some extent still is). A substantial minority of the non-Europeans are also actively criminal, or enemies of the British people. Of course, only a tiny minority commit massacres, but why should the British people accept any such outrages?

Part of that big picture view includes the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders are entering and staying in the UK every year at this point.

The response of the revived corpse of “New Labour”, now under Israel-puppet Starmer, is to conceal the truth, to try to turn “illegals” to “legal migrants” via a rubber-stamp (the primary weapon of a type such as Starmer), and to destroy what is left of the English countryside by building ugly hutches for the migrants and others.

Rachel Reeves makes a lot more than that. The £90,000 is merely MP salary. As Chancellor, she gets about the same again, and has had other concealed income streams. Plus substantial investments.

Of course, Sophie Corcoran is a typical “Conservative” pseudo-“libertarian”, and Starmer-Labour is merely a hopeless mixture of Blair-Brown “New Labour” and the past 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment.

Planning madness

https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24467184.uproar-larling-plans-nearly-2-000-new-homes/

Villagers in a hamlet which has around 100 homes have reacted with anger to proposals to build more than 2,000 new properties on their doorsteps.

Locals in Larling argue the area, which does not have mains sewage, is wildly unsuited to a development of such a scale.

The project would effectively turn it from one of Norfolk’s smallest villages to one of its largest – or create a new village altogether on its outskirts.

Larling, close to the A11 between Thetford and Attleborough, has been a late addition to Breckland Council’s local plan, which sets out where new homes can be built over the next two decades.

[Eastern Daily Press]

Similar madness is all over England now.

The madder thing is that hardly any English people are having children; who who are, are having one, or two. Below replacement level. Only the blacks and browns are having 3 or 4, or more, children.

Then, of course, the UK is importing 500,000-1,000,000 unwanted immigrants, mostly non-white, every single year now. Unsustainable, even in sheer numerical terms.

I do not know exactly when this society will break, but the signs are everywhere now. Quite soon, I think. Years rather than decades.

That Norfolk idea has apparently been put forward by or via a typically-greedy farming family, the Lewin family (see the newspaper report). They will end up with many millions if that development goes ahead. Probably about £20M. I have little time for the kind of farmers England now mostly has. Greedy moneygraspers, many of them.

I condemn the violence in Southport without reservation. But I don’t remember the same level of condemnation & pearl clutching at the Harehills & Manchester Airport riots & thuggery. They are not insulting the community, @ranvir01, they are trying to defend it.

For decades people have wanted less immigration, especially the working-class as they bear the full brunt of the negative consequences. Knife crime, anti-social behaviour & grooming gangs.

Note how weasel Pierce says that the alleged Southport murderer is “British” just because born in Wales (to African parents). If I were born in China, would I be Chinese? I think not.

So there is our “free” mass media. A “diverse” panel consisting of one little gay pro-immigration “Conservative”, one pseudo-revolutionary “British” Indian woman, and some stray black unknown to me. All pushing the same line…

I think that, the way things are going, the British people are going to take matters into their own hands, as at Southport. Not in a (very) planned or co-ordinated way (bearing in mind the degree of snooping that the poundland police state now indulges in, and the Kafka-esque misuse of “anti-terror” laws), but as now not infrequently seen, events flaring up, perhaps though leading to serious political upheaval as well, over time.

By 2034, there will be another 5M-10M non-whites in the UK, mostly in England, mostly in the cities. Plus maybe a few million births. What then?

The Tunisian revolution began with a street vendor. Everyone knows the wider issues are the problem and it snowballs.

In the UK the problem is importing 10 million foreigners did not increase quality of life. It brought murder, rape, terrorism, wage stagnation, house price explosion etc.

But worst of all political gridlock on any solution to stop the inflow never mind reverse the damage. ~40% of the Labour vote comes from non-natives. They only got 33% in the election, without the imports they would have only got ~20%. This mindset of promoting foreigners and suppressing natives is representative of almost no one.”

Very true. As I have explained several times, at GE 2024, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote, probably out of disgust with the System. Another 4 out of 20 voted Labour; 3 voted Con, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green. In rough outline.

In other words, only 4 people out of every 20 voted Labour. If, as is certainly the case, half of the Labour vote was from the ethnic minorities, that means that only 2 out of 20 real British people voted Labour.

Labour really has no mandate at all, or at best a very marginal one.

Free speech is being taken away. Elections have become almost meaningless. Our (real) human and civil rights are being eroded fast, replaced by fake ones. The late President Kennedy said something about that sort of situation:

Don’t vote “Conservative”, either. The same (((forces))) control both.

I had no time for Tony Benn. A hypocrite, a humbug, and his view of both politics and history mainly wrong. Similar to that other old humbug, Michael Foot.

We are ruled by a nefarious group of individuals that have an unquenchable thirst for power, control and money, and they don’t care what they have to do to get it. And that includes tricking people into thinking they are the virtuous good guys who are here to keep us all safe.

And tragically, millions of people are completely duped by this. What we have witnessed over the Covid response, the war in Ukraine, the Net Zero agenda on climate change and many other current issues is a movement of faux-virtue that has been carefully crafted by corrupt politicians, messengers within legacy media outlets, greedy corporations, messiah delusional billionaires and undemocratic technocrats to create the impression that they are the virtuous ones who are our friends.

The whole quite long tweet is worth reading.

Many msm scribblers today are twenty-somethings with zero background knowledge. Many cannot even write or spell properly.

Prepare for “their” (((victim))) mode to be deployed…

Not only is this “Labour”-label regime an “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by 4 people out of every 20), but one without ideas, without ideals, intent only on power and the exercise of repression.

Coudenhove-Kalergi also thought that a caste of Jew and part-Jews should rule over the bastardized European mixed-race population, once that was created or being created. Now look— David Cameron-Levita, George Osborne, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson etc. As for Starmer, not Jewish, but with Jewish wife, just like Jenrick and others.

Rachel Reeves has no “plan”, just a tick-box idea of “balancing the books”. cf. David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne.

Look at what she herself has decided to do, along with her boss, fellow Labour Friends of Israel member Starmer.

Infrastructure investment slashed, which is the worst-possible choice (though some projects are useless, notably HS2). More money for the subsistence of unwanted migrant-invaders. Pensioners to lose a lifeline. No new hospitals. Yet pay rises of 22.3% (over 2 years) for junior hospital doctors most of whom are useless, and most if not all of whom will be on far higher levels of income within a few years of seniority.

That last reminded me of a major league baseball players’ strike when I lived in the USA over 30 years ago. The strike was bitter and crowned with success eventually. The demand was that all major league baseball players should get $100,000 a year minimum (I suppose you could at least double the value today). Not unreasonable, arguably, though it was several times the average pay of Americans as a whole. The joke was that only 1% of all major league baseball players at that time received pay of less than $100,000 anyway. Most were in the several hundreds of thousands a year, with a substantial minority getting over a million a year.

The “trans” nonsense has become utterly ridiculous. Having said that, women should not be boxing anyway.

Less than a month since GE 2024, and Starmer-Labour is already the “elected” dictatorship I predicted. I say “elected“, of course, because only 4 out of every 12 voters who voted, voted Labour (only 4 out of 20 of all eligible voters— 8 out of 20 did not vote at all).

We are not ruled by “Labour” or “Conservative” labels, but by NWO/ZOG puppets. There is no substantial difference between the “two main parties”.

…and there are “alternative” NWO/ZOG puppets, less important ones, too: “Tommy Robinson”, Reform UK, Farage, Tice etc.

Almost everything is fake and/or utterly screwed in contemporary Britain: Labour, Conservative, “Captain Tom” charity, “Jack Monroe” the “Bootstrap Cook”, SIS, the Foreign Office, the Bar, the Church of England— you name it…

Late tweets

What has been absent from comment is the sheer malice of the recent announcement. I see Rachel Reeves as an extremely malicious person, and she will be well aware of the fact that few people aged 65+ vote Labour.

“Zelensky: We will discuss the issue of Ukraine’s borders with the respective countries.

PROMISED TO DEVELOP A “PEACE ESTABLISHMENT PLAN” BY THE END OF NOVEMBER

Kyiv-based political scientist Andrei ZOLOTARYOV believes that Zelensky is “preparing to sell the truce to the Ukrainians as a victory.”

Washington Post: Armed forces of Ukraine exhausted, a critical situation is emerging for the Ukrainian army on the front with elements of “serious chaos”.”

Surely, if the Kiev-regime forces are exhausted, this is the moment for a general advance of Russian armour and infantry across eastern Ukraine, not for a truce, from the Russian point of view?

The US allowed the use of nuclear weapons because of Ukraine The United States may use nuclear weapons because of the desperate situation in Ukraine, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works. “The situation in Ukraine now is that the Russians have virtually defeated Ukraine, and so the United States has a choice between a humiliating defeat and perhaps dropping one of these low-yield nuclear weapons,” he said.

If the USA uses nuclear weapons on Russian forces, it can kiss goodbye to the top 50 American cities, including Washington DC, New York, LA, Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boston.

Don’t instigate nuclear war. It could put humanity back thousands of years.

London. Zoo.

Barwell, you idiot. Your views come close to treachery. In fact, I believe that they do constitute treachery, treachery in particular to the remaining real English people not only of London but of all England.

Like many another, I voted with my feet long ago, and now prefer to avoid London. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/06/30/diary-blog-30-june-2022-including-impressions-of-a-trip-to-dystopian-london/ and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Incidentally, I see that Barwell’s cretinous tweet has been seen by well over 2 million people, yet has been “liked” by only 2,000— one in every thousand. Barwell’s views may be mainstream in the Westminster monkeyhouse and in the System msm, but in the rest of the country his opinions are those of a small and wrongheaded minority.

Barwell really takes the biscuit for deliberately-obtuse failure to see what is right in front of him— the destruction of the social fabric of London (and the UK) by reason of mass immigration and its consequences.

Even if Barwell’s narrow point is true, and Charlotte Gill does not like “living in a diverse community” (read “a crime-ridden multikulti swamp”), so what? That is her choice or preference (and a good one too).

If Barwell is typical of many of the “Conservative” Party officials and politicians, then its near-collapse is far from hard to understand.

Jungle.

We know what needs to be done about this sort of thing, but are now “not allowed” to express it, in our wonderfully “liberal” “diverse” country…

Keir Starmer. Freemason. Puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.

“Difficult questions of our time”— “why [greedy freeloading bastard] Lammy took £100,000 from the Israel lobby“…

Ha.

Thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy as Foreign Secretary just confirms how deep in the mire the UK really is.

I saw another tweet from that Barwell idiot:

Barwell’s knowledge of history is notable for its wrongheadedness. He is a know-nothing.

Sadly, tweeter “@Pauline51734996” also seems to know not so much about modern history, bearing in mind that WW2 is precisely why Britain was “bled dry“, the British people beggared for a decade after the “victory” of 1945 (some rationing in the UK lasted until 1955). “Pauline”, however, does not hold herself out as being capable of expert socio-political commentary, unlike Barwell.

Is Barwell aware that the Kiev regime is egregiously brutal, shambolic, corrupt, and tyrannical? No trade unions, no free press, no real opposition parties, no free speech (etc)? Press-gangs to force the many unwillingly into uniform? Those who have not managed to flee beyond the borders, that is. In fact, the Jew Zelensky is presently ruling illegally, having decided to ignore the fact that his presidential term expired some time ago (and he now refuses to hold an election).

Talking point

The world is not without kind people [Russian proverb]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13658549/pictured-family-killed-horror-crash-six-dead-west-yorkshire.html

A newspaper report about a young girl orphaned when her parents, as well as her two sisters, were killed on the road, it seems because an idiot was riding a motorbike on the wrong side of the highway, and at what must have been a tremendous speed.

The GoFundMe appeal set up for the orphaned girl (and publicized by that Daily Mirror report) had an initial goal of £3,000. It made that within an hour or two. The fund now stands, at time of writing, at nearly £250,000, on only the second day. It still increases. Enough to set the child up in life in every way.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-poppie

My point is that there is so much bad news, news about poor or even evil behaviour by people, that that often leads us to forget the immense power of goodness that also exists in the world.

That GoFundMe appeal has had a few large donations (£1,000, even £5,000), but much of the quarter-million pounds so far donated has been in smaller sums— £5, £10, £20. As someone once put it, discussing the Parable of the Widow’s Mite in the New Testament, “the radiation of the small coins“…

Heartening.

[Incidentally, it occurs to me that the orphaned girl will probably, presumably, eventually, be the beneficiary of any car insurance payout as well].

…once I had finally left the stifling climate on campus I became truly aware of how us Zoomers have been completely screwed over by the mainstream system. My parents, for example, were married, with one child, and onto their second property at the same age that I am now, despite not coming from any kind of wealth at all.

But the reality, today, for Zoomers like me, is that I will likely never be able to afford my own house, nor will I ever be able to pay off my university debt faster than the interest on it grows. Almost half of my monthly salary now goes on rent, meaning it is virtually impossible for me to save any money at all.

There is a listlessness that my peers and I feel – that I think is borne from the fact that we simply do not ‘own’ anything, nor can we put roots down anywhere. We are neither the ‘Somewheres’ nor ‘Anywheres’ British writer David Goodhart talks about; we have neither the means to join the Somewheres by putting down roots nor the desire to join the continually mobile, hyper-liberal Anywheres who eschew these roots for a sort of hedonistic, bohemian, and hyper-individualistic ‘life’. We are simply trapped.

Perfect recruits for a social-national upsurge in the near-future…

…and meanwhile, the “British” Government, egged on by the organized UK Jewish lobby, defends the Gaza cruelties.

I was unaware that Myerson had “resigned” (been kicked out, in my opinion) as a Recorder (p/t judge), albeit under the fig-leaf of having “resigned”, of course. His continuing toxic social media output made it almost inevitable. Someone such as Myerson should never sit in judgment over others. Unfit.

It seems that the judicial career of pro-Israeli judge Simon Myerson KC may be over, or at least stalled. Skwawkbox understands that Mr Myerson ceased to hold judicial office in early July 2024. It is unclear whether he resigned or was forced out after failing to curb his controversial behaviour on X/Twitter.

Myerson, a founder signatory of the anti-left so-called ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was a ‘Recorder’ judge and has denied that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, was disciplined by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice in March after engaging in politically controversial issues in an offensive manner. The senior judges found that he had failed to maintain the standards of his judicial office.

Asked to comment on the case, a barrister who has worked with Myerson said:

Myerson’s conduct on social media has been very poor. Judges are supposed to ensure that their conduct, both in and out of court, maintains and enhances the public confidence in the judiciary. Myerson is consistently rude and patronising to people on social media and it reflects badly on the judiciary. I suspect a lot of judges will be glad to see him go because his conduct was becoming an embarrassment.”

[Skwawkbox]

Stalled“? No. Myerson is finished as far as the Bench is concerned. He should never have even been considered for such appointment.

Incidentally, Myerson is or was a leading light of a “charity” bringing Afghans to the UK. Typical.

This is what Myerson and his type are defending— Israeli war crimes.

More Israeli crimes:

Late tweets

No wonder that the msm drones (BBC or other) are so careful always to parrot System propaganda (whether Israel-lobby/Jewish-lobby propaganda, “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic propaganda, multikulti society propaganda, or whatever else). One wrong move and they are “cancelled”, so losing out hugely in money terms.

An extreme view but understandable when animal abuse is uncovered, as in the case of Charlotte Dujardin (of whom I had never heard until this evening).

Most racehorses are treated very well, and I am sure that that is true of showjumping as well, though I have had only occasional contact with the latter.

I trust that Charlotte Dujardin , the Queen of Team GB’s dressage team ( she has 3 Olympic gold medals) is banned for much longer than the provisional 6 months over a video showing her whipping her horse’s legs repeatedly so the animal performs to her liking. Makes you wonder what other cruelty she may have visited on her horses over the years. The incident was filmed four years ago in the UK at an educational establishment. It shows Dujardin , 39, hitting the horse on its legs during a piaffe- a slow trot. Another rider was on the horse. Why didn’t the other rider report Dujardin to the authorities straight away? Whoever was the whistleblower was clearly worried about the Dujardin reaction as they leaked it through a lawyer in Holland The International Federation of Equestrian Sports was sent the video yesterday and provisionally banned Dujardin, 39, for six months. With luck she will be kicked out completely. Dujardin then issued some mealy mouthed statement saying she had made an error of judgment. You mean you were caught. Very grateful to the whistleblower. Without him or her Dujardin may well have been carrying the flag at the opening of the Olympics as our most important athlete.

[Kelvin MacKenzie]

When I find myself in agreement with Kelvin MacKenzie, the world has certainly changed…

On the wider point, it seems to me that the whole Olympic circus is now no longer useful, let alone interesting.

Starmer-Labour is a kind of “elected” dictatorship, as well as being a basically Jewish/Zionist “project” (cf. “Blairism”). It was “elected” under a system of voting used by few other countries.

In rough terms, Starmer-Labour was voted for by only 4 out of every 12 people that voted, and out of every 20 of those eligible to vote. Its mandate is very weak.

[out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 chose not to vote at all, 4 voted for Starmer-Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results].

You see so many unthinking tweeters such as “@1aisTro11sBots”, who imagine that the headline result of GE 2024 reflects socio-political reality. No, it reflects an unfair and stupid voting system.

In a more restrained way, the same or similar msm puffery in the UK enabled Keir Starmer to appear solid and competent. Hardy ha ha…

Even if so, no more dishonest than the Cameron-Levita/Osborne Con government of 2010-2015 laying the blame for the world banking crash and the UK’s slide into decline on the British poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled. The whole Cameron-Levita “austerity” nonsense.

We have a sick political and mass media system.

ps. why is there no law prohibiting MPs from being called “Darren”? (only joking).

Ukraine will not be able to win the conflict with Russia…Ukraine will not defeat Russia, and Poland will not be able to resist Russian forces in the event of a conflict.
