Diary Blog, 29 May 2024, including a look at Natalie Elphicke

I never believe “them” without corroborative evidence.

Exactly. Eternal “victims”, even when they are victimizing others.

A mere caution, for attacking an elderly man in the street.

Natalie Elphicke

Whatever the facts of that, there are facts that are indisputable: Natalie Elphicke could have stood at GE 2024 as Con Party candidate. She received 56.9% of the vote in 2019 under that aegis.

I was puzzled as to why Natalie Elphicke crossed the floor, she after all knowing that a general election had to be called sometime before a date in January 2025. Does she have some better offer from outside Parliament? Seems doubtful to me.

Natalie Elphicke gives me a dual impression: not particularly intelligent, but particularly focussed on her own ambitions.

Incidentally, many may be misled by the academic section of her biographical details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Elphicke#Early_life_and_career.

As a former member of Lincoln’s Inn, I have met several people over the years who were (as was Natalie Elphicke— see the Wikipedia entry) beneficiaries of Hardwicke scholarships. None impressed.

I saw this comment:

“Hardwicke Scholarships aren’t that prestigious. A mere submission of an application is more than enough to win one. They give about 150 away each year, and not many more people apply to each inn for a scholarship, surprisingly enough.” [online commentator].

I think that the real figure is nearer to 100 than 150.

To intrude a personal comment, I recall a young blonde lady barrister who (unsuccessfully, in all cases) opposed me in court a number of times during 2002-2008 when I was in chambers in Exeter (she was in another set, also in Exeter). She was a former Hardwicke scholar, just like Natalie Elphicke. I used to think of her as “Mrs Malaprop”, because her use of English was so poor. Comically so. A pretty poor barrister in terms of both legal knowledge and presentation, in my view, though wearing a sense of self-importance as thick as a suit of armour.

I had better not name that lady, mainly for reasons of propriety (I am too poor now to be worth suing; and there would be no basis for such a suit anyway). I just looked her up online for the first time, and found that she is still in Exeter, and still in the same chambers as she was 20+ years ago, apparently flourishing like the green bay tree.

I note that, having been Called to the Bar in 1994, only a few years after me, Natalie Elphicke decided to leave the Bar and to convert to be a solicitor (something that, at least then, basically meant filling out a few forms).

Natalie Elphicke only worked as a lawyer for a year or two, as a salaried employee of the Inland Revenue (as was; now HMRC) during 1995-1997. She married her now ex-husband, Charlie Elphicke, in 1995. They have two children. She appears to have returned to legal work for a year or two during the years 2011-2013, before helping to found a company which was dissolved 2-3 years later.

After that, her husband’s connections seem to have got her a couple of brief public appointments in the years 2016-2019, as well as the CEO job at the Housing and Finance Institute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_and_Finance_Institute. This may not be very lucrative, though, looking at the Institute’s funding. Hard to say.

Ah…[10 mins later…]… seems that my hunch was correct: that HFI CEO position is entirely unpaid: see https://members.parliament.uk/member/4795/registeredinterests.

Many will know that, though having displayed (performative?) “loyalty” to her disgraced MP husband, Charlie Elphicke, during his trial, Natalie Elphicke had by then already taken over as MP for Dover in 2019. She separated from him in 2020, and later divorced him, prior to which she sold her story to the Sun “newspaper” for £25,000. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/deal/news/mp-wife-of-naughty-tory-paid-25k-to-tell-all-234749/.

I have to say that I agreed (and still agree) with Natalie Elphicke’s comment at the time of her husband’s unsuccessful appeal (against sentence only— he had been sentenced to 2 years, plus £35,000 costs, and was released after a year) that the 2-year sentence was harsh. He had really done very little: “During his trial the court heard how Elphicke groped one of his accusers, chased her around his house, and sang “I’m a naughty Tory, I’m a naughty Tory.” [Wikipedia].

I should have thought that a suspended sentence would have been enough. From what I read at the time, his three crimes were all just silly, really; almost identical, too, and surely only just coming within the “sex crime” area. Pathetic more than anything, in my opinion.

To my mind, if crimes and criminals can be divided into “bad, sad, or mad“, Charlie Elphicke’s conduct was surely “sad“, with a dash of “mad“, but nothing seriously “bad“.

Having —whether rightly or wrongly, and I think rightly— identified Natalie Elphicke as a “go for the main chance” opportunist, why on Earth did she defect to Labour? Looking at the electoral statistics for Dover, she had a very good chance of being re-elected. Maybe Starmer offered her a peerage (seems unlikely, though), or some quango chair (more likely), or a safe Labour seat (relatively unlikely, surely?).

I admit, Mrs. Elphicke’s motivation is still puzzling to me.

As to Charlie Elphicke, I had little time for him when he was an MP, but I have to say that his fall from status and relative affluence has the elements of a minor Greek tragedy. Apparently, he now lives in a small rented flat somewhere like Earl’s Court, and may (I do not know) be either unemployed or working in some obscure occupation. I can find no record of him still on the Solicitors’ Register, and the same is true of Natalie Elphicke, but as far as I know both are still able to practise; again, I cannot say.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-61276734

While looking up the above details, I noticed this story from the Daily Mail in 2022: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10367265/Naughty-Tory-Charlie-Elphicke-makes-700-000-profit-selling-cliffside-home-Kent.html.

Turns out that the Elphickes bought a house on the Kent coast for about £800,000 in 2012, and were able to sell it only a decade later for over £1.5M. The house almost doubled in value in 10 years. A commentary upon the house-price madness in this country.

There is also no evidence that Reform UK is getting anywhere. Nothing lower than an across-the-board 20% will win any seats; even a few percent more may only win a small handful, maybe 3-5. 11%, 12%, even 15%, is “nowhere” territory in seat-winning terms.

The LibDems and Greens are on a lower nationwide support, yet have seats in the Commons because their vote is concentrated, here and there.

Having said that, I make two points. Firstly, most intending Reform UK voters know perfectly well that RF is not going to win many, if any, seats. Their vote is a protest vote and/or a way of kicking the Sunak government and Conservative Party, by weakening greatly the Con Party vote in almost every constituency, but without voting Labour.

Secondly, as mooted yesterday, there may be a number, perhaps even a large number, of “secret Reform UK voters”, who do not show up in the opinion polls because they say “Don’t Know” or nominate a mainstream party out of embarrassment. Very English, arguably.

I doubt whether the usual general election convergence will happen this time. People hate and despise the useless Conservative Party governments of the past 14 years, and especially the past 5 years. That includes a huge number of 2019 or previous Con voters.

In fact, I should not be surprised were the Lab-Con gap to widen, though more because the Cons may slide again rather than because Labour increase their percentage.

A plurality of voters do not know where Starmer stands. For Starmer, that may be what he wants.

Telling…

That must be “value” olive oil. The last bottle I bought (extra-virgin olive oil, first cold pressing, but not a single-estate or special one) was nearly £13.

“Incredible posting by Simon Myerson (1) @JewishMirelle’s statement can be opinion and defamatory. (2) Myerson is re-publishing a likely defamatory statement. (3) He’s a KC suggesting to someone on twitter that their statement might not be defamatory. (4) He’s the KC who acted for Pete Newbon according the Telegraph. #GroundhogDay“

Myerson again.

Honest opinion is now a defence [Defamation Act 2013, s.3].

I think that I shall quit now, while I am ahead. I have not been in Bar practice for 16 years, and do not, in general, keep up with changes in the law.

General Election news

According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that might result in a House of Commons with 541 Lab MPs, 46 LibDem, 28 Con, 12 SNP, 3 Plaid Cymru, 2 Green, and 18 various Northern Irish.

On those figures, what Disraeli described as “the great Conservative Party, which destroys everything“, would be itself almost destroyed, reduced to a rump of 20 MPs; not even the official Opposition, which would be the LibDems.

Such a result would be a strategic defeat for the SNP too. 12 MPs, down from 56 (out of 59) at the 2015 peak, and 48 at the 2019 GE.

I get the impression that the SNP’s version of fake “nationalism” (blame England/the UK for everything, keep importing non-whites into Scotland, and think it normal to have a Pakistani as First Minister) has well and truly foundered on the rocks of socio-political reality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#House_of_Commons.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Of course, a change in the Labour vote of even one point either way would add several to (or subtract several from) the Conservative total, and even more to or from the Labour total.

A twisted and evil woman.

“Ukraine knows that it’s all over” While the UK is preoccupied with the general elections, Kyiv “cannot withstand Putin’s brutal attack,” reports the British The Telegraph. Main points:

Kiev was forced to transfer thousands of soldiers to the northeastern part of the front line to try to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kharkov region.

The war is reaching a critical point as Western interest in helping Ukraine risks weakening again.

Zelensky seems to understand that time is running out for Ukraine: over the weekend he called on Joe Biden and Xi Jinping to take part in the upcoming “peace summit” in Switzerland.

Zelensky’s team is concerned about the shift of attention in the United States to internal elections: Ukraine is receding into the background.

The harsh reality is that Ukraine risks simply running out of people to fight.“

Exactly.

I have, on the blog, been saying for 2 years that Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

The savagery of a bygone age, come to life again in our times. Europe must create a civilization without savagery, and without savages (from either side).

Not something from which I myself suffer, thank God, but such conditions are more widespread than often thought. The social security system as at present constituted is designed (especially since 2010 and the influence of Dunce Duncan Smith, aka “IDS”) to attack the sick and disabled, and to make them jump through hoops, rather than to help them.

God. That stupid woman talking rubbish is actually the Prime Minister of Estonia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaja_Kallas. Her father was also Prime Minister of Estonia.

Personally, I think that the Baltic states, or pribaltika as the Russians call them, have every right to self-determination, but their leaders have now gone well beyond that, in becoming puppets of NATO, or really of NWO/ZOG.

Zahawi and many like him (not only Kurds like him, but also Pakistanis, Indians, Jews, Arabs etc) have brought the ethos of the Middle Eastern and South Asian bazaars to Westminster. Many English MPs are no better now. Just unclean.

Cleanse the Augean Stables.

Interesting, though the headline is a little misleading. Arnhem was, after all, at a time when the main action was not on the admittedly very active Western Front but the ever-rolling-westward Red Army on the Eastern Front.

The amusing aspect is that anyone should be surprised about it all. Give tens of millions or more to a load of black “activists”, and then wonder “where the money went“? Ha ha.

Interesting way of looking at it…

“Extradition or continuation of legal battles – Assange faces a decisive trial on May 20.

The “court saga” of journalist Julian Assange, which has been dragging on for more than ten years, could end in the UK as early as Monday. Assange faces a May 20 hearing in London’s High Court that could result in him being sent to the United States to face espionage charges or give him another chance to appeal his extradition, ABC News reports.

The outcome of the case will depend on how much weight the judges place on assurances from US officials that Assange’s rights will not be harmed if he stands trial in the US. As the publication explains, London judges must rule on whether the court has satisfied Washington’s guarantee that Assange will not face the death penalty and that he can rely on the right and freedom of speech provided for by the First Amendment of the US Constitution if he is tried for espionage in United States.

Assange’s lawyers say the journalist could be on a plane across the Atlantic within 24 hours of the decision, or his case could again drag on for months of legal battles.“

If Assange is extradited, he may not face the death penalty (for telling the truths the System did not want told) but may face 10, 20, 50, 100 years (sentence) in some American “Supermax” giant tomb.

What a disgrace, that the UK is so craven in respect of the USA these days. Long ago, America was our colony; now we are America’s colony.

“The Razumkov Center survey shows that trust in the presidency has fallen from a rating of 71% in 2023 to a rating of 26%,” the article states.“

Water under the bridge now, of course, but if only Russia had decapitated the Kiev regime at the start, in 2022, eliminated Zelensky and his immediate cabal, and taken Kiev by a mass parachute assault using the VDV and Spetsnaz forces available, followed by a push through using armour and infantry. That would have finished the regime in Kiev within days, and prevented the attritional war we have seen since, with its huge loss of life, misery for both humans and animals, and widespread devastation.

“Freeman: As soon as the Ukrainians swing even more strongly on the fronts – a new government may appear in Kyiv.

FORMER AMERICAN DIPLOMAT CONVINCED THAT THE UKRAINIAN ARMY WILL NOT SURVIVE UNTIL NOVEMBER WHEN the Ukrainians are even stronger, definitely swaying on the fronts, a new government could appear in Kyiv, ready to accept the true state of affairs in the conflict with Russia, former American diplomat Ches Freeman said. And immediately additionally concluded: “Mr. Zelensky may become a victim of his own intransigence, and a new government may emerge in Kyiv that will be more willing to acknowledge the true state of affairs instead of denying it.”

Freeman noted that many in Ukraine are aware of the need for negotiations, but the head of the Kyiv regime has banned them from taking place. In his opinion, this should be abandoned. He also added that the Ukrainian armed forces probably won’t last even until November.”

The reality is that Russia should take all Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and the coastal areas of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. A viable independent Ukraine can then come into being in the rest of the country, and centred on Lvov. Kiev and its immediate hinterland can become some kind of autonomous city, rather as Danzig (now Gdansk) was in the period 1920-1939.

Jewish terrorists.

Tell us something we don’t know…

As a matter of fact, even 1997 was not 1997 (as normally and wrongly thought to be, i.e. a popular landslide): in 1997, Blair Labour, thanks to FPTP voting, ended up with about 65% of Commons seats, but its popular vote was only 43.2% (Conservatives 30.7%; LibDems 16.8%; others 9.4%). Far more people, even of those who voted, did not want Labour as compared to those that did.

It is truer to say that, while those that did vote Labour in 1997 were enthusiastic about it, those who now tell pollsters that they intend to vote Starmer-Labour at GE 2024 (about the same percentage, circa 42%-48%) are almost all not enthusiastic about it, but just want rid of the present “Conservative” misgovernment, as do almost all other intending voters (present polling gives Sunak’s party a mere 18%).

I myself was not living the UK in 1997 (I was in Kazakhstan, only returning to the UK in late September 1997, though I had been back in the UK for about 2 weeks during February-March 1997), and so missed the UK election campaign and the election itself.

The unsustainable migration invasion will break British society apart within a few years; not suddenly, not overnight, but steadily and unstoppably, until a complete breakdown occurs. After that, anything is possible.

“Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst” 

Are full of passionate intensity.“

[Yeats] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._B._Yeats.

“Russia chose the most inopportune moment for Kyiv for its offensive in the Kharkov region Russia, by opening another front in the Kharkov region, is creating additional pressure on the forces of Kyiv, which are currently already suffering from a shortage of weapons and people, Sky News reports.

Moscow decided to act, choosing the most inopportune moment for Kyiv for its offensive. Russian troops are already gradually advancing in the Donbass, approaching the city of Chasov Yar. If this Ukrainian stronghold falls, it will give Russian troops the opportunity to more easily strike the rest of the Donbass, putting key cities such as Kramatorsk at risk.

By intensifying attacks in the Kharkov direction, Russia can force the Ukrainian command to transfer reserves from the east to the northeast, thereby weakening its defensive line in the Donbass, which is already under enormous strain.

The situation is further aggravated by delays in the supply of additional weapons and ammunition from Western allies.“

The Kiev regime has no “Western allies“, just aid-givers, bribe-givers, bribe-takers, and warmongers.

If Kharkov itself can be taken this year, the war will be close to ending. The whole of Ukraine east of the Dnieper will, in that contingency, be taken by Russian forces pushing from north, east, and south.

Kharkov is Ukraine’s second city, with a (pre-war) population of 1.5M: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharkiv. How many remain now is uncertain; perhaps 1M.

This is the year when Russia must take Kharkov, advance across the eastern part of Ukraine generally, and destroy not only the electricity infrastructure of the part of Ukraine west of the Dnieper (particularly Kiev itself), but also major rail and road links and bridges linking the east and west parts of the country.

Even by the standards of American Israeli-owned politicians, that cretin pretty much takes the biscuit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham.

“Russian attacks open a new front in Ukraine”:

Austria is confident that Ukraine will lose most of its army if it decides to hold the region instead of surrendering the Kharkov region.

“Retired Austrian Colonel Mick Ryan believes the coming weeks will be very grim for Ukrainian ground forces in the east. Attempts to hold the area will result in the loss of most of the army. The result could be a serious test and “one of the most difficult moments for Ukraine in the war.

The offensive of the Russian army in the Kharkov direction has become the largest. This could undermine the morale of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, Ukraine must be careful in its response given its depleted military. Deliveries of the long-delayed American aid package are just beginning to reach the front lines.”

No news for some time about the famous Hamas tunnels that were, apparently, in total about the same length altogether as the actually underground parts of the London Underground (over 100 miles in all). At first, the Israelis were full of public relations news/propaganda about how they had taken several miles of this or that tunnel, but since then, nothing. Are the tunnels still being used by the Gazan side of the conflict? We do not know.

If so, most of them will abandon Poland and move to other parts of the EU— Germany, Denmark etc. Only a few will make it easy for the Kiev regime to press-gang them and deploy them to the crumbling front-line. That would be a death sentence for many.

Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and the war

“Lukashenko proposed to the West to play a draw with Russia, otherwise Ukraine will cease to exist.

More statements of the President of Belarus:

For Americans, China and Russia are not all opponents and enemies. For America, Europe itself, the European Union, is a serious rival. Americans do not need opponents or competitors.

I know the mood of the Ukrainian army. They are already tired of this war. If we do not negotiate now, Ukraine may lose its statehood and cease to exist.

No one wants to fight today. That is why we must move towards peace.

Washington is progressively pushing aggressive narratives against Belarus and the Russian state, increasing the degree of hostility of the NATO bloc in our direction.

The US allocation of 60 billion for the war is the most important factor in the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.”

“Biden’s team doubts US aid will help Ukraine win – Politico.

The immediate goal is to stop Ukrainian losses and help Ukraine regain momentum and turn the tide on the battlefield.” After that, the goal is to help Ukraine start getting its territory back,” said one of the officials. “Will they have what it takes to win?” Ultimately, yes. But that’s no guarantee that they will. Military operations are much more complicated than that.“

That report about American “analysis” leaves out several important factors which make any large-scale success by the forces of the Kiev regime very unlikely.

The first is the lack of “boots on the ground”, i.e. numbers of soldiers, particularly well-trained soldiers. 500,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed in the past 2 years, it is said; even if that figure includes the badly-wounded, nothing material is altered.

Ukrainians of all ages and conditions are trying to avoid call-up, as the regime drafts people as old as 65, disabled people, carers for sick and disabled family members, some women etc. Those who live beyond Ukrainian borders (perhaps a quarter of the pre-war population) show no sign of wanting to return and rally to the colours; those within the borders try to buy or acquire medical exemptions, or just try to stay “under the radar”.

So overall, the lack of manpower is key. There is no way for the regime in Kiev to increase the supply of men, while the attrition of the war means that every day brings new losses; Russian forces, at present, fire 10 artillery shells for every 1 coming from the other side.

The low birth-rate in Ukraine (one of the lowest in the world) also impacts this. The Kiev-regime side looks to ever-lower age-groups, even to those aged 16, to perform military tasks.

Realistically, no matter how many advanced weapons are gifted to the Kiev regime by the USA and UK etc, Zelensky’s forces will never be able to “regain” those former Ukrainian provinces now under Russian rule: Lugansk, Donetsk, and of course the Russian peninsula of Crimea.

Even less likely is the prospect of the Kiev-regime forces actually taking over undisputably-Russian border areas, or destroying major Russian towns or cities. Should the first happen (which is not even a war aim of the Kiev-regime side), there would be a swift Russian response and re-occupation. Russia, with its famous prostor (apparently endless space) simply cannot be conquered by merely military means, as indeed Professor Haushofer taught. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Haushofer.

As to possible destruction of large Russian urban centres such as Moscow: even had the Kiev regime side the means, all that would then happen would be the deployment of Russian tactical or even strategic nuclear weapons, particularly to reduce Kiev itself. Were Kiev to be destroyed, the war would end immediately.

It can thus be seen that there are only two possible outcomes (unless is posited a general regional or even world war): either Russia achieves victory over Eastern Ukraine by force of arms, or there are real peace talks soon, leading to a result somewhere between such a victory and the present state of play.

Israel

More Israeli war crimes.

Sooner or later, whether in 5 years, 10 years or whenever, the wheel will turn, and the Israeli population will probably be scurrying through devastated streets, the streets of Tel Aviv and elsewhere. Will the Jews of Israel and beyond then themselves expect or ask for mercy?

Not as unlikely as it seems. Israel’s regional enemies become more powerful every day. Who, a decade or two decades ago, or 50 years ago, would have thought that the Palestinian resistance to the north of Israel/occupied Palestine would have the military power, or the missiles, that it has in 2024? With every passing day, the enemies of Israel acquire more powerful weapons. How long before they have weapons that can overcome the Israeli defences?

The Israeli high command (both military and security/intelligence) seems to be playing a delaying game, trying to prevent major actors from acquiring the most powerful weapons while, when possible, destabilizing surrounding (and some other) states. Iraq, Lebanon, Syria Libya, Egypt have all been weakened. Iran still stands.

There is also the fact that the Arab Palestinians within Israeli borders, and in the West Bank and Gaza, have a higher birth-rate than do most of the Israeli Jews. This will surely have an effect somewhere down the line.

Israel is doomed; the only uncertain fact is the date of that doom.

In the recent Israel-Iran exchange, it was noteworthy that planes and rockets from Saudi Arabia and Jordan flew in defence of Israel. I take that to be an Arab response to the increasing power of Iran, rather than a wish to help Israel as such.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the opposite was the case: the Shah’s government was on quite amicable terms with Israel, unlike all of the Arab states, which then were implacably opposed to Israel. The underlying hostility between the Arabs and the “Persians”, however, was just the same, in essence.

That Jewish Israeli politician seems to be the personification of utter stupidity allied to complete dishonesty. Says that executed/murdered Gazans with hands tied behind their backs may have died in “gun battles” or “throwing grenades“.

She also says that the Gazan resistance are “cowards“, because they (to use the old British phrase) “shoot and scoot” rather than waiting to be mown down by tanks etc. What, I wonder, does that creature say about Jewish (Israeli) pilots and drone operatives who kill women and children from 10,000 feet in the air, or even while sitting in a building in Israel?

It is a disgrace that the suborned UK government is giving aid and comfort (and arms) to that tribe.

Good grief! Just saw this: that creature, of Moroccan and Portuguese Sephardic-Jewish origins, was born in London, became a barrister (Middle Temple) and only moved to Israel in 2001, at the age of 27 or 28: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur_Hassan-Nahoum.

“She has been tipped as a future mayor of Jerusalem or Israeli foreign minister” [Wikipedia].

Incredibly (listening to that interview), she is apparently regarded as “liberal” in Israel!

Talking point

Britain’s average has already been reduced several points by reason of importation of huge numbers of individuals from the lower-IQ groups over the past 70 years and particularly the past 30 years.

How can we ever create a higher-level society if the human beings in the present society are, as a group, degrading constantly (as at present)?

Late tweets

Cleverly is completely idiotic. Imagine meeting with those lying conspirators and giving (or at least pretending to give) credence to their demands, after what has been discovered in the last several days! Falter has been exposed more than once as a liar, as has the one seated to his left.

Unfortunately, Cleverly has one of the safest seats in the Commons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braintree_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. Another brainless MP.

The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London.

I cannot see why the Metropolitan Police Commissioner felt obliged —apparently— to actually apologise to Falter, who by then had already been exposed, even by other Jews, even by other Zionists, as a dishonest propagandist whose account of the now-notorious Aldwych incident was plainly contrived and untrue.

Perhaps Russia should create a special class of passports for suitable candidates from certain other countries too: EU nationals, UK and US nationals, some others, and those people could then become dual-passport-holders, with the right of residence, under conditions, in the Russian Federation.

“Ukrainian failure will be “worse than Vietnam” for the West, Johnson predicts.

If Russia takes control of Kyiv, it will become a disaster for “American leadership on the world stage” that is much greater than the outcome of the Vietnam War. Boris Johnson is sounding the alarm.

He also said he was “praying” that congressional Republicans would end the roughly $60 billion blockade of funding to Ukraine, adding: “The situation is grim and the delay is appalling.”

The British politician also said that the chaotic flight from Afghanistan in 2021 is “nothing compared to a possible Russian victory in Ukraine.”

There are exciting possibilities opening up, potentially affecting not only the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, but also Central and Western Europe, including the UK.

The USA lost any right to claim the “moral high ground” post-Cold War when it engaged in torture and/or depraved humiliation of captives and/or the innocent at Guantanamo Bay, Bagram, Abu Ghraib etc.

As for the UK, the old term “America’s poodle” covers it well enough (or “Israel’s poodle“, as far as the Westminster monkeyhouse is concerned).

“my office…is besieged by asylum-seekers. Most of them are young men, illegal migrants, who should be expelled“.

Bravo!

Truth (for once) in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

Very few choose to join any of the armed forces now, because the services have no prestige, a poor career structure (certainly for “other ranks”), poor housing and, at the end, after 3, 5, 10, 22 or however many years, are just dumped into civilian life, in many cases without non-military skills, without accommodation, and without much money.

Another point is that some potential recruits are being forced to wait for months, even a year or more, before being approved by the rotten private contractor, Serco.

Back in 1975, I was told by someone in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army that some people were desperate to join immediately because they had no roof over their heads, and literally no money. The Corps would stretch a point, and allow them to come in even before the paperwork had been completed, and before any binding commitments had been made.

Such recruits would be given accommodation (at Templer Barracks, Ashford, Kent, now turned into a housing development like everything else in England), would eat in the NCO’s mess (there are no private soldiers in that Corps), and something would be found for them to do for a few days or a week while the necessary box-ticking was being done.

If accepted, they would join the next recruit squad; if not, they might go elsewhere in the Army or, at worst, leave having had a week of food and shelter; no harm done. Not now.

Apparently, the various military units at Ashford (the Intelligence Corps at Templer Barracks, and also the much larger ordinary Army base which surrounded the guarded Intelligence Corps centre) have long since been moved on, and the area, redeveloped as housing, is now known as Repton Park, though I have just seen that there is a small reserve Army military presence nearby even today.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/12/carers-allowance-benefit-error-30p-a-week-dwp

“George Henderson had to sell his home to repay nearly £20,000, years after ticking wrong box on carer’s allowance form.

A carer who says he was “dragged through the courts” and had to sell his home to pay back almost £20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an innocent mistake.

George Henderson, 64, said he made a gain of just 30p a week while claiming carer’s allowance for his son John, who has learning difficulties and is addicted to heroin. He now costs the Treasury £1,000 a month more in benefits, having become homeless and too unwell to work.”

[The Guardian]

Really absolutely disgusting. Britain in 2024.

Also, look at the sentence imposed by a Crown Court judge in respect of the matter:

“He protested his innocence but was found guilty. In 2018, a judge at Preston crown court gave him a 32-week suspended sentence and ordered him to wear an electronic tag for 16 weeks.

Henderson is one of a number of carers the Guardian has spoken to after exposing how people looking after disabled, frail or ill relatives are being forced to repay huge sums to the government and threatened with criminal prosecution after unwittingly breaching earnings rules by just a few pounds a week.”

[The Guardian].

This country has become just unbelievable.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/11/lesser-of-two-evils-voters-in-sheffield-hallam-look-to-labour-with-reluctance

“In the high street of Crookes, a leafy hillside suburb of Sheffield with a large student population, there were plenty of people saying they would vote Labour at the next general election – but most weren’t too happy about it.

“It feels like the lesser of two evils – it’s definitely better than going back to what we’ve got,” said Amy Pattison, a 24-year-old occupational therapy student at Sheffield Hallam university. “All I know is I won’t be voting Tory. And whatever I do vote will be tactical.“

Most people said they would vote Labour for one simple reason – to get the Conservatives out of power.

“I’ll be voting for Labour. But I’m more anti-Conservative than I am pro-Labour,” said Chris Macdonald, a 30-year-old teacher. “If our voting system was different I would be tempted by other parties, but it feels like it’s Labour or Tories, and I want them out.“

[The Guardian]

That chimes with my feeling about overall voter sentiment. Few people really like the Starmer version of the Labour Party, but almost everyone wants the Conservative Party to go down (and preferably never get up again).

By the time any of that comes on stream, assuming it is even authorized, any confrontation will have ended, bar the shouting.

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

A medical mercenary; he is far from being the only one.

“Scotland has better education than England” (they said). “Scottish people are both better-educated and shrewder than the English” (they said). So why have the Scots voted into government a bad-joke pseudo-nationalist or fake nationalist party headed now by a Pakistani clown? Why is Scottish Labour the same or similar? (“but answer came there none“)…

“A Lady asked an old street vendor: “How much do you sell your eggs for?” The old man replied “0.50¢ an egg, madam.” The Lady responded, “I’ll take 6 eggs for $2.00 or I’m leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven’t sold a single egg today and I need this to live.” She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won.

She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.

This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is; Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy? And why are we generous to those who don’t even need our generosity?

We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn’t need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him “why are you doing this dad?” The father replied: “It’s charity wrapped in dignity.”

The UK needs, and the British people want, no immigration of any sort at all. The UK must start actually educating and training people properly to fulfil occupations requiring great skill and knowledge, and pay them properly as well.

“Zelensky asks his military leadership for maximum defense of Kharkiv. Ritter is convinced that he will soon lose it HAS ASKED HIS OWNERS TO FORCE THE PRODUCTION OF DRONES WHICH HE THINKS WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE.

Scott RITTER: Now Russia is destroying military targets in Kharkiv on a daily basis, as the Ukrainian armed forces do not have enough ammunition for air defense systems. Soon the Russian army will surround that city, and Kiev will have to cede it. Such a future awaits any city in Ukraine that Russia decides to occupy, because the Ukrainian army cannot provide their sustainable defense.”

The British newspaper The Times estimated that the Russian army, if it succeeds in liberating Kharkiv, will surround the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass.”

I am expecting a general advance of Russian armour and infantry, supported by air power, in 2024 and/or 2025. The Kiev-regime forces do not have the manpower to resist, or will soon not have. They are all now in purely defensive mode, despite the occasional missile or drone provocation attacking Russia itself.

It may be that that general advance will move west and north-west until most of Eastern Ukraine (i.e. east of the Dnieper) is occupied by Russian forces.

Kiev itself has been heavily fortified in defensive layers, including massive minefields. It may be that there will not be an attempt to storm Kiev until much later, in late 2025, or 2026.

The Kiev regime is draining armed forces personnel, arms, ammunition at a fairly rapid rate now. There may be some kind of palace revolution in Kiev, with the Jewish dictator, Zelensky, removed and forced into exile, along with his cabal and their stolen billions. At that point, peace talks may well occur and result in an armistice, even if no final or formal result or peace is possible.

Ironic. That Jewish woman once, quite a few years ago, tweeted openly to another one that I (together with some other person, entirely unknown to me) should be given a glass of strychnine to drink…

…and the same applies to the —ten or even twenty times greater— “legal” migration invasion.

Incidentally, those opinion poll statistics add up to only 77% of voters asked. Is most of the remaining 23% a group of people who might support something perhaps not on the question-paper, such as a social nationalist movement as yet not in existence?

[“our unconquerable children”]

At GE 2024, such figures might result in the Conservative Party being left with as few as 30 MPs, as noted on yesterday’s blog post.

A country which has no control over its borders, no control who has civil rights within borders, no right to expel non-citizens for default or at will, is not a nation but just a territory open to all, and not far from chaos or civil war, a place where disparate tribes occupy space for a time; or a kind of “Hotel California”…

If I had to guess, I should say that embezzling fake Zelensky will be gone within a year or so, either into exile and to his several multimillion-dollar houses in Florida and elsewhere or, well, just gone…

“It’s now a week since Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act became law and 8,000 hate complaints have been logged with the police —about one a minute. Police union bosses described the law as ‘a disaster’ and claimed officers are already ‘swamped under a deluge of complaints’. Senior officers also warned that police will be forced to make cuts to frontline crimefighting to deal with the deluge and face a big overtime bill which the Scottish taxpayer will need to pick up — or the police will cut back elsewhere.”

Scotland, a region where a bunch of pseudo-nationalist clowns and foreign ideologues have taken power over the past 9 years, and where the white Scottish majority population is a hated and reviled group, despite numerical and other superiority.

Not just the SNP under Pakistani “First Minister” Humza Yousaf. “Scottish” Labour under Anas Sarwar, another Pakistani, is no better. I was always told that Scottish education was better than English, and Scottish people shrewd. What happened?

Israeli war crimes. Ethnic cleansing. Slaughter of women and children. Clearing Gaza of its Arab population so that, later, it can be settled by Israeli Jews.

…and see how actually reverential they look as they count the money…

I do not want “a debate“. I want an end to this invasion. So do the British people.

Also, it is quite clear why such information remains secret or unavailable, which is because public release of the statistical evidence would underline how hugely negative mass immigration has been to this country. A conspiracy by secret cabals embedded in the body politic to import non-whites into the UK (and the rest of Europe).

Even the press-gangs have not brought in enough people to become cannon-fodder for the incompetent Ukrainian high command. Now they want to press into service the old, the extremely young, women, even disabled people.

In the end, I think that many Ukrainian people will be glad to welcome the Russian armies as they advance.

“The Sunday Times reports that among the residents of Ukraine there are no people left willing to fight, and a breakthrough of Russian troops to Kyiv is quite real “The front line is 480 km away, but to nervous young people from Podol, a Kyiv district famous for its nightclubs and cafes, the war suddenly seems much closer. “I’m afraid,” the publication quotes 31-year-old Dima as saying, specifying that he is a “heavy smoker.” Main points of the article:

Ukrainian generals said that there is no alternative to mass mobilization to stop Russia’s offensive. Zelensky warned allies to expect more territorial losses and called on Ukrainian men who fled abroad to return and serve their country.

But under the bright spring sun of Kyiv, the answers to questions about Zelensky’s desire to mobilize are clear. The video producer, who wished to remain anonymous, said that he travels between Ukrainian cities only at night to avoid being drafted into the army.

Western partners hesitant about arms supplies face brutal calculations: the population of the remaining Ukraine is approximately 31 million, compared with 144 million in Russia. The longer the military conflict continues, the greater the fear that the numbers will prevail.

Ukraine, suffering from the lowest birth rate in the world, tried to save young people from the horrors of war. But now, when the average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 43 years old, the desire to protect the country’s future prevails.

In the capital of Ukraine, hundreds of thousands of people are browsing Telegram channels in search of advice on how to avoid conscription into the army. The messages are encrypted: “They just dumped a lot of snow on one person near the Polytechnic Institute station,” “It’s very cloudy on the street near the Festivalny shopping center now.”

People are accustomed to the idea that the front line is far away, that it is unshakable. But the truth is that the Russians could break through at any moment. We can fight for Kyiv again. People don’t understand the threat,” says military medic Boris.“

Regular readers of the blog will note that many of the above points have featured on the blog over the past 1-2 years.

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

“What goes around comes around“, in the American saying…

That photo, showing President Assad, reminds me of when little William Hague, about 12 years ago, said that Assad was finished and would be on a plane out to exile somewhere or other within days, if not hours. Ha ha! The UK is ruled by clowns of the William Hague sort— or even worse in fact, now. No wonder that 80% of the electorate want to stamp on the Conservative Party, and stamp and stamp…

Not that fake Labour, entirely controlled at top level by the Israel-lobby cabal, will be any better, looking at thick and ignorant “diversity hire”, Lammy.

Well, you people, most of you “Conservative” and “Labour” voters, never supported those who tried to warn of the likely consequences of the mass immigration invasion of the UK —from the 1950s through to today—, meaning Enoch Powell, the National Front, the BNP, social-national thinkers etc.

Many tried to get a public hearing, but were ignored, or persecuted, or even prosecuted. You people kept voting for System parties and their corrupt and/or stupid MPs. Even now, you vote for a System party. Now see the results…

“The toddler’s frail, malnourished body scarcely twitched as she lay helplessly in an incubator chamber in the already-decimated Gaza hospital. 

Leila Jeneid, one of countless children who have passed through the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, has suffered as a result of starvation and dehydration. 

In a video clip, Leila can be seen quickly breathing in and out, desperate for a breath of fresh air in one of the 12 remaining hospitals in the besieged enclave. 

The outline of her ribs, along with all her other bones, are visible through her pallid, paper-thin skin, which sits in stark contrast to the blue blanket underneath her that provides little comfort to the toddler, who is not old enough to comprehend the hellish suffering she is undergoing. 

Her jaw is slack as she lies on her back inside the plastic cage of the incubator, barely able to move her arms and legs. 

She can’t keep her eyes open as medics at the hospital, which UN official Andrea De Domenico this week said was receiving ‘about 15 malnourished children a day and is struggling to maintain services,’ run tests to understand how to help her. 

But it’s food, water and proper rest she needs, all things that the whole enclave is desperately in need of, and all things that Israel has been accused of deliberately withholding from civilians in its bitter war against Hamas, which – according to a top UN human rights official – could amount to a war crime.”

Israel, and the Jewish lobby outside Israel, can now shut up about various matters that they claim occurred during the Second World War.

The “usual suspects” constantly promote books, films etc about events and/or invented events that are said to have happened, in any event, over 80 years ago.

“A father-of-five who was jailed and handed a £475,000 court bill after a dispute with his neighbours has been ordered to sell his home to pay for the huge sum. 

Mark Coates, 56, and wife Louise, 52, have been involved in a ‘bitter, aggressive and violent’ dispute with their neighbours Brian Greenwood, 69, and Janice Turner, 65, after moving in next door in the countryside near Hastings in 2015.

The row arose out of a disagreement over a fence between their homes on a quiet road in Robertsbridge, a court heard. The Coates family wanted to replace the structure with a brick wall but Mrs Taylor argued this would encroach on her land.”

[Daily Mail]

When I was at the Bar, I advised and appeared on several such cases in the County Court, both in London and the provinces. Almost all, in fact all, should have settled long before they got to court, long before any barristers were instructed.

I think that I can say that I, and other counsel in the cases known to me, did our best to achieve reasonable closure, but these are cases (often involving trivial amounts of land) where reason always seems to fly out out of the window.

In many cases, all Counsel, solicitors, and the judge in the matter, understand that the matters in question should settle before enormous costs are racked up but, often, the litigants are effectively willing to risk bringing down ruin on themselves for a chance of gaining a victory over their neighbours (with whom they will have to live —nearby— afterwards, after the case ends, whichever way it goes), unless one party sells up and moves (in which event…well, you get my point).

If you told someone to remortgage his house, take out equity of £50,000, £100,000 or more, then go to Las Vegas, and stake the entire amount, maybe in one spin, on red or black at the roulette table, the houseowner would call you crazy, but that is, often, exactly what he or she —often a couple— are willing to do in taking to the County Court (in some cases to the High Court) such cases.

I remember one case I had that was about a wedge-shaped piece of land running the length of a North London suburban garden; at one end it was only about an inch or so wide and, at the other, about a foot.

What can one say? Territorial feeling can be very powerful.

Private enterprise —properly regulated for honesty, health and safety, employee rights etc— should run most commerce and industry, but there are exceptions, among which are the main structures of the economy providing services to the whole people: water supply, large-scale energy, electricity generation and supply, roads, railways.

Very true. As for me [b.1956], my memories of even the late 1950s are few, but those of the 1960s, and up to the present year, are many. Speaking very broadly, I should say that the dividing line between the UK of 2024 and an earlier and different UK lies, arguably, somewhen between the Thatcher election victory of 1979 and the fall of socialism in or about 1989. Maybe 1979 as far as the UK is concerned, domestically. Too much to cover here in a few paragraphs, though.

American urban planning history

Interesting. Britain’s town planning problems and history differ from the above American examples, in part, though there are also similarities.

Town planning is very important, as is architecture, and not forgetting the trees, bushes, creepers, and flowers that elevate all of that.

Seems that H.M. Land Registry (or its ad agency) does not know the difference between “principle” and “principal“. On that basis, I am sceptical about anything they say they will do; it is not trivial, but a matter of both basic education and checking what is put before the public.

So much for the “military experts”, many of which (as in the case of the reporter David Axe) turn out to be not very expert at all: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Axe.

People of that sort write their rubbish for (in his case) Forbes magazine, the Daily Telegraph etc, and people believe it implicitly because it is in (albeit wrongfully) “trusted” publications, yet much of the content is unreliable. Read Axe’s Wikipedia entry. Not an ex-officer, not a military historian as such, but a writer of fiction primarily, at least until recently. His reporting on military matters has been patchy; refer to the Wikipedia entry.

There are many scribblers of that sort. He is far from being the only defaulter.

Of course, in relation to the Ukraine war, a significant factor in reportage is that most Western msm outlets are openly biased to an extent not seen since the 1940s. Anything seen in the msm relating to Ukraine, Russia, Putin etc has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Ukraine is falling to pieces. Having said that, many of Britain’s roads are now little better.

No doubt the pro-immigration, pro-multikulti drones (paid or amateur) will be flooding social media and the msm with “it was ever thus“, “London was always like that” etc. No. Not true. Not on this scale. 100x worse than it was in the 1970s, let alone 1950s.

“PUTIN: EUROPE IS FEAR-MONGERING ABOUT ME TO FEED ZELENSKY “What they say about us, that we’re going to attack Europe after Ukraine, is complete nonsense. It’s intimidation of their own population solely to get money out of them. This is happening in the context of the fact that their economies are sinking, and standards of living are falling.” Source: @Sputnik“

Is it untrue? I think not. Look at the UK. Gradually falling to pieces, and really not so slowly now.

A reference to those detained and convicted in relation to the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, who may spend their lives as of now in so-called “coffin” cells measuring 4-6 square metres; cells as tiny as 6 feet by 6.

It troubles me that the apparent terrorists were treated with such brutality, verging on sadism (to say the very least), on the day when they were detained; also, that the now-mandated conditions of detention seem worse than simply inhumane; as bad as, or worse, than those suffered by some prisoners in America’s “Supermax” prisons.

It is not that I think that the terrorists “deserve” better treatment but rather, that to treat even such individuals as they have been treated and continue to be treated, diminishes Russia itself, just as Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib etc diminished, and continue to diminish, America.

It seems that Goodwin reads this blog. Actually, I have reason to believe that he does. In the past, when his views were rather different (pre-2018), Goodwin blocked me on Twitter. Good to see that he has at least partly woken up.

The endgame will either be later this year or, perhaps more likely, after the national elections in the USA and UK, so sometime in 2025.

Unwanted here. Troublemakers.

All high-ranking members of the Kiev regime are legitimate targets, most of all Zelensky himself, and Danilov.

Israeli embassies worldwide are not normal diplomatic buildings but centres for every kind of subversion and snooping, even compared to some others which mix diplomacy with an illegitimate amount of espionage and other activity.

“London court postpones Assange’s extradition to the US Julian Assange has been granted a reprieve in his fight against extradition to America.

London’s Supreme Court has ruled that the WikiLeaks founder can take his case to an appeal hearing if the UK and US fail to meet certain conditions, The Guardian writes.

The court demands that the United States allow Assange to invoke the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech. They must also ensure that his Australian citizenship will not affect the proceedings, and that the death penalty will not be taken against the whistleblower, the publication explains.

If the court does not receive such guarantees by April 16, the defense will be able to appeal. However, even if assurances are provided, the parties will be able to file a motion before a final decision is made to file an appeal, the article emphasizes. If Assange is denied permission to appeal, he could be sent to the United States within days to face espionage charges.

His lawyers insist that the charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of secret and diplomatic documents related to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are politically motivated and the extradition request is illegal.“

A purely political and malicious attempt to silence a truthteller. On a smaller stage, the same happened to me, most recently in 2023-2014.

At what point does that sort of thing stop being foolishness (or idiocy) and start to become a form of deliberate treason?
