Starmer-stein and Labour are both dead men walking, at least metaphorically and politically.

Exactly. All the UK opinion polls on socio-political subjects are inaccurate for that reason— the views of non-whites/non-Brits are taken into account as if they are the views of “British people”. One reason why the pollsters (and the msm) mostly underestimated the recent election “upsets”.

…and now the Israeli Jews, apparently backed by most Zionist Jews from other parts of the world, are, literally, deliberately starving to death the Arab Palestinians of Gaza, including the children. The same Jew-Zionists who are always whining about the alleged treatment of their ancestors by Germans (and Poles, and Ukrainians, and French etc) during WW2, a conflict which ended 80 years ago.

Interesting.

…thus proving that 64% of the UK population in 2020 were unthinking, panicked, deliberately-stampeded idiots.

Immigration, on the scale seen by the UK for half a century, impacts everything, and every other issue.

Migration invasion. Migration occupation. Utterly disastrous.

Even 6 months ago, the Jewish government of Israel (occupied Palestine) was describing this as a mere and “antisemitic” conspiracy theory. Well, here we are and it seems as if, like so many “antisemitic” “conspiracy theories” and/or “tropes”, this one is, in a word, true.

Looks as if the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza is going to be either entirely killed off or (the survivors) moved God-knows-where into desert camps. It is like a reverse engineer of the foundation myth of the (original) Jews: from the land of milk and honey to a barren desert, possibly in the Sinai Peninsula.

Jewish “human rights” lawyers (of which there are many) will no doubt continue to claim that what the Jews of Israel are doing to the Gazan population is “not genocide“, but that kind of discussion is really akin to the mediaeval Scholastics debating as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

One might add that the Jew-Zionist fanatics outside Israel/Palestine, in the UK and elsewhere, themselves claim that as many as 95% of Jews in the UK, France etc support Israel, and that most of those Jews support what the Israeli government has done, is doing, and plans to do in Gaza and other parts of Palestine still inhabited mainly by Arab populations.

“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas)— latest

I missed this, from 2 months ago:

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that, several years ago, when I first mentioned “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, I was fairly neutral, even slightly sympathetic to her. As I found out more about her, about her entirely invented “backstory”, and about how she had lied about almost everything to do with her life and work, I became more critical.

I also discovered that “Jack Monroe” was making thousands of pounds monthly, indeed tens of thousands at times, from hundreds of well-meaning mugs, who were sending her regular donations via the Patreon website. That was in addition to TV, radio, and other appearance fees, book advances and royalties, and money gathered in from other mugs online on the premise that she was going to sue various public figures, such as the MP Lee Anderson.

The above can all be found via the search box on the blog.

Look at that tweet above. “Jack Monroe”, who frequently extracted money from mugs by claiming to be starving, near-homeless, unable to feed her child (who was, in any event, apparently not looked after by her anyway, most of the time), was (despite vast sums having, so to speak, gone up her nose or down her throat) able to offer the vendor of the said property £157,000 in cash.

Look also at how she is, it is said, now working in some (well-remunerated?) role at Southend Council (Essex). Her father, a Greek Cypriot by origin, was a senior fire officer in Essex, and once got her a job answering calls, before she discovered how easy it was to get many times the money from mugs as an outright fraud. Her father is or was also a property rental-owner of some significance in that town, and may be (presumed but I do not know for sure) a freemason. Join the dots.

Essex, particularly South Essex, is a bit of a “rotten borough” in some ways. The County Council was cheated out of £600,000 by a Jew called Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”) a few years ago. Neither he nor “Jack Monroe” have ever been brought to book for their “grifting” and worse.

More:

I made the same points on the blog, and some months in advance of the above…

Many people seem to —shall I say, politely?— echo the blog content in their own online commentaries.

The first tweeter was right, though. “Jack Monroe” is now recognized by most people as a fraud, a con-woman and a total fantasist whose recipes are themselves a fraud, poor in terms of nutrition, far more expensive than claimed, and often looking like a dog’s dinner. All of which I started to notice years ago. What was not so years ago is that the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing has now been dropped by the msm. Only complete mugs now give “Jack Monroe” any credence whatever.

Saturday quiz

Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.

The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn

The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”

As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.

In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).

I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.

Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.

Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.

The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.

The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.

I wonder. I am minded to think that, even if a temporary peace is agreed soon, it will not last. Russia must take and retain all of the territory east of the Dnieper.

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.

The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.

Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.

I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.

Runcorn and Helsby, this is your chance to make history.

On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

That evil spirit, Ursula von der Leyen, talks about peace, while supplying the brutal and corrupt Kiev regime dictatorship with huge amounts of arms, ammunition, and EU taxpayers’ money.

Wherever two or more are gathered in my name...” (but are they?).

Runcorn and Helsby voters!— do what you have to do next Thursday to sink Labour. If you vote Reform, well and good. If you want to vote Green or elsewhere, OK. Whatever you do, don’t vote Starmer-stein fake Labour, even if it means just staying home.

So that’s the end of that…

Glad I am not in his boots (whether guilty or not).

Interesting to hear Patrick O’Flynn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_O%27Flynn], former UKIP MEP and journalist, use the term “System” as I do on the blog (as when he says, there, “System people“). Is he one of the politicians and commentators who peruse my views, or is that simple co-incidence?

Unpleasantness ran and runs right though “New Labour”, and Starmer-Labour is just a pointless, meaningless offshoot of Blair-Brown “New Labour”.

Bastani is right, of course, about the appallingly-low quality of MPs. Since 1997 and, particularly, 2010 (and as often said by me on the blog), that fact is inescapable. Not just in fake Labour though; also true of the fake “Conservative” Party, and fake “Liberal Democrat” Party (remember Jo Swinson?).

Reform UK is “controlled opposition”, of course, but is moving the Overton Window. When that has moved far enough, social nationalism can enter the arena.

Blast from the past: the “Mrs Duffy” moment in 2010

Mrs Duffy, uneducated, “ignorant” etc, knew far more than “educated” fake “big brain”, globalist puppet Gordon Brown. In the past 15 years, her superior understanding of the mass immigration crisis (if not put in a very polished way, so be it) still resonates —in fact, more than even in 2010— whereas Gordon Brown is just a washed-up System politician now exposed as far from the great mind he (and his tendentious wife/carer/psychiatric nurse) thought.

Aaron Bastani is far from my position, ideologically. Having said that, he often speaks the truth as he sees it.

Both Lab and Con parties, the main two System parties, are losing all credibility; the LibDems, as “dustbin” or “default alternative” party, never had much to lose.

Trump, and Trump’s White House

Of course, it is easy to see the Trump White House as a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, looking at recent tweets etc (see below)

Looks as though Musk should have a word with the child’s nanny. The child seems short on good manners. (I have to admit that it made me laugh, though; look at Trump’s expression!).

Very odd. Where did the child hear that, to regurgitate it?

That scene really does seem mad, disorderly.

On the other hand, until Trump took over, the international situation, and several regional issues, seemed stuck in glacial mud. He has disrupted that pattern. As psychologists say, a “pattern-interrupt”.

It may seem absurd to want to buy Greenland, annex Canada, and turn the Jew-Zionist-devastated Gazan hellscape into a Mediterranean beach resort, but all of those ideas have at least made people think about alternative realities.

To compare Trump’s disruptive ideas to the campaigns of Alexander the Great may seem to stretch “first time tragedy, second time farce“, in the famous comment of Marx, to breaking point, but history is sometimes moved by ideas that seemed absurd.

Look at the state of Israel itself. When Herzl and others first came up with the idea of Israel as a state, they were just a few Jews in the lower strata of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. Their ideas seemed crazed, and they themselves had no genuine ancestral link to Palestine, which was then one of the poorer provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Also, the Ottoman Empire might have been “the sick man of Europe” but it sat there, apparently immovable in its vast power.

Is Trump trying to make his Gaza plan (“Club Trump?) seem more credible by hiding it among even crazier-seeming plans? One thinks of stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and E.W. Hornung.

Where do you hide a pebble? On a beach. Where do you hide a murder? Among other apparently-similar murders. Where do you, as a fugitive person, hide? Not in isolated places but in a big city. So where do you hide your plan to seize Gaza? Among other apparently-mad plans.

A paranoid analysis, possibly; also, though, possibly, accurate.

Trump cannot realistically seize Canada. He cannot, either, seize Greenland, not without smashing NATO to pieces. He could, however, take over Gaza. The Israelis (quelle surprise) seem open to the idea. After all, from where would come most if not all inhabitants of the proposed Club Trump, Club Gaza? Israel, of course, or Jew-Zionist settlers from places such as New York City.

“Greater Israel”, in some form, seems more than a mere “conspiracy theory”.

When Trump was serving out his first term, this blog described him as “a loudly-squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by a phalanx of Jews“, and that remains broadly the case, but perhaps less so in this second term. Trump no longer needs the Jewish lobby or Israel lobby for political purposes, though he would not want to make an enemy of them either, whether for political or business reasons.

Trump may be thinking in terms of “legacy”, especially after the assassination attempt(s).

Looks as though Trump is also determined to bring an end to the war in and around Ukraine. He must know that the quickest way to do that is to restrict or stop money, arms, and ammunition flowing to the Kiev regime.

That “charity” was set up by Rory Stewart himself. His wife was an employee of his prior to their marriage. I believe that she was married or engaged to someone else at the time. She is half-Jewish, I believe. See also:

My assessment of Stewart, published in 2019 and updated over the years, has proven to be fairly popular with readers. He himself is part-Jew, incidentally, a fact of which I admit I was unaware until an alert blog reader sent information (read the published assessment).

Zelensky is living on borrowed time. How long before tidal waves of tanks roll into Kiev?

As soon as the money/arms/ammunition tap is shut off, or the flow reduced to a trickle, the Kiev regime will just implode. “Ukraine” is not a real state at all.

It always looks ludicrous when “British” politicians of today try to play the “war leader and statesman” card, even when they have some underwhelming “military experience”; neither Sunak nor Starmer have any at all. Neither, of course, has Maria Eagle, a former solicitor best known as MP for having been an expenses cheat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Eagle#Expenses_controversy].

Maria Eagle is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, of course.

Look and learn. When “they” have power, as in Russia/Soviet Union after the Bolshevik “Revolution” (coup d’etat).

If some of the Palestinian Arabs sometimes do monstrous things, as on the day or two before the Israeli attack on Gaza in 2023, it is because they have been made monstrous by, mainly, Jewish/Israeli behaviour.

As with Reform UK in this country, not really my preference in an ideal world, but better than all the other main choices at present.

That might translate into a Commons with 276 Reform UK MPs! Also, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] 139 Lab, 108 Con, 59 LibDem, 4 green, 40 SNP; 24 others.

Still no majority (50 short), but I imagine that, under those circumstances, some Con MPs would defect, and others support ad hoc.

Were Reform to be able to get even one extra point, to 30%, then, even with other figures unchanged, its MP cadre would be around 298 (Lab 129, Con 95, LibDem 60).

Were Reform on 30% and Cons a point lower than in the opinion poll, i.e. on 20%, Reform would have 318 MPs, 8 short of a majority but with very close to a working majority. The Cons, though would have only 75 MPs.

For the long-established Conservative Party, effectively terminal. Not even the official Opposition. Maybe not even the third party.

Tim Montgomerie has recently opined that the Conservative Party might be expiring; for once, I agree with him. Or does he, belatedly, agree with me?

Fake “Labour” will decline but not so far or so fast, because about 20%, maybe more, of the electorate is now black/brown, and that percentage will increase inexorably, because few white/British children are being born. Virtually all the births now are from the ethnic minorities (who, within half a century, will certainly be the majority, unless action is taken to prevent that). They all vote Labour; at least 90% of them do.

Opinion polls suggest that among those aged 18-24, only about 5%, if that, vote Conservative; about 80% vote Labour. Who are those young voters? Largely, the non-whites.

As the Dad’s Army character used to say (about inserting cold steel into the fuzzie-wuzzies) “they don’t like it up them!

Rory Stewart, as “Conservative” Party MP, voted for all the mean-spirited social-security/”welfare” cuts of the 2010-2015 Cameron-Levita misgovernment. Now his (or his wife’s, which is effectively the same) far more generous “welfare” has been cut back, it’s all unfair and wrong, apparently.

Ha ha…

Can that be true? £840,000 a year for such rubbish? Unpleasant Alastair Campbell presumably getting even more. For that? Doesn’t seem possible.

In this country, in these times, anything is possible, I suppose. If so, though, who or what is really funding it all?

True enough, but the main attack on free speech in the UK comes from the Jewish or Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and I never hear Matt Goodwin or Farage (etc) saying anything about that.

At what point does the encroaching slow-motion dictatorship programme become impossible to counter by merely “peaceful” means?

You cannot even take items to the local rubbish dump without booking a slot. Absurd.

Maria Zakharova ridiculed British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy’s claim that “the British-Ukrainian partnership goes back thousands of years.” ” The roots of this friendship go back to the foot of the Egyptian pyramids? Why so little? They even hunted brontosauruses together ,” Zakharova joked.

During a visit to Kiev, David Lemmy stated that “Kiev princesses were marrying British princes” a thousand years ago.”

Lammy personifies the old Russian proverb, “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“…(incidentally, that proverb was not originally meant to reference blacks, because there were none in Russia until the 20thC and even today they are few; it was basically metaphorical).

Here is “diversity-hire”, thick-as-two-short-planks, Lammy making a fool of himself once again, this time on Celebrity Mastermind:

Ha ha! Evergreen…

Incidentally, Ukraine only became a nominally independent state in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its entire previous history was as part of the Russian state or its predecessor, Rus, though parts of Western Ukraine were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.

Lammy is a total embarrassment as Foreign Secretary, but Starmer cannot easily sack him, having appointed him. Why? Because he is black. Simply that.

The NHS has advertised almost a dozen ‘woke‘ jobs within the last few weeks, including one equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) role paying almost £123,000, MailOnline can reveal.

The recruitment drive comes days after Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned diversity and inclusion in the NHS has gone too far with some staff now promoting ‘anti-whiteness’ within the health service.

The Associate Dean with responsibility for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion role, advertised by NHS England, is based in the South West and comes with a salary of £122,470.

The salary is equivalent to the entry-level pay of up to three NHS doctors or four nurses. 

According to the job description, the successful candidate can work from home 60 per cent of the time and will be responsible for ensuring medical students from different backgrounds have equal opportunities.”

If you go into a shop in, say, Egypt, a small shop that in the UK (if owned by real British people) would probably have one or two people, maybe three at most, but probably one or two, working there, you will find that the owner has half a dozen people working there, probably related to him in some way. Open long hours, perhaps, and the people there doing little individually. Paid peanuts, of course. Likewise, offices.

I understand that India and other such poor countries are similar.

Non-crime “hate” incidents are, ipso facto, not crimes. If the police continue to be incapable of doing their proper job, and if they continue to behave like a blundering, hopeless, poundshop KGB, snooping on people’s opinions, tweets, blogs etc, they deserve to be, when the UK has a real government, dismissed and put to work as forced labour.

The present Attorney-General is one Hermer, a Jew who is or was closely tied-up with the Jewish “antifascist” cabal known as Searchlight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hermer,_Baron_Hermer#Early_life,_family_and_education; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searchlight_(magazine).

On those figures, the House of Commons might look like this: Reform UK 256, Labour 217, LibDems 78, Conservatives 43, Greens 6 (SNP 19 etc).

That would mean either a weak minority Reform government, or an exceptionally-weak Labour minority government backed by LibDems, SNP and other minor parties.

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

Arguably the most interesting aspect of the latest polling is the apparent continuing collapse of the Conservative Party (predicted, of course, on this blog). Not only 4th placed, after the LibDems in 3rd, but with little better than half as many MPs as the LibDems.

I read today that CCHQ may be unable to pay the rent on its office building. I would not be surprised to see quite a few Con Party MPs now jump to Reform in the hope of being accepted as candidates for the seats they currently occupy as “Conservatives”. I wonder how many will be deemed acceptable. If they delay too long crossing the line, they may not be accepted.

I was interested to read that article on the Conservative Home website. The comments were 95% or more pro-Reform and anti-Con Party.

Blimey. Simon Myerson KC chattin’ about other barristers apologising and showing a lack of judgement. A judge decided Myerson engaged in “disgraceful abuse” of me and I’m still waiting for Myerson’s apology. It’s all covered in my next S-stack post out tomorrow. Link in bio.”

You will get no “apology” from Myerson. “They” always like to extract “apologies” from their enemies or opponents; they see that as victory (and humiliation for those “apologizing”).

Their instincts are, of course, not those of the European.

As Corbyn noted, years ago, “they” also usually lack a sense of irony, likewise the ability to see themselves.

Myerson was sacked as a p/t judge (“Recorder”) last year for his inability to stop savagely insulting others online. In short, he was found to lack the proper judgment required of those who aspire to sit on the Bench.

Double Twit Time

Saw two silly twits on Sky News earlier, being interviewed separately. The first was someone called General Shirreff (retired) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff], who thinks that war with Russia is all but inevitable, that the UK should double or triple the amount it spends on armed services in all ways, and that it is essential for the UK to back up “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).

I find it disturbing that an officer previously at such a high rank and with such heavy responsibilities until retirement should actually think that Britain should embroil itself even further in the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Kiev-regime war, and try to confront Russia in Eastern Europe.

Come to that, the UK should also have steered clear of a number of other late-19thC and early 20thC conflicts: the Balkan war(s) of the 1990s, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Libyan uprising.

President Kennedy said, of General Curtis LeMay [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_LeMay], that, in a war requiring an all-out attack, you would want LeMay commanding the first wave of the bomber force, but that he was the last person who should decide whether there should be a war at all. Having heard General Shirreff’s attempt at geopolitical argument, I rather think that that is also my view of General Shirreff.

Any war with Russia would leave what is left of this country, and worth defending, in ruins. Irradiated ruins, over which those of us who survive will crawl in misery. Nein danke!

The said Chalk, who lost his Commons seat in 2024, was briefly Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice under Sunak. My thoughts about him, having now heard him (I was only peripherally aware of his existence, previously) relate more to his ideas about how to fund the justice system than to his actual decisions when in high office. He wants even more cuts to the “welfare” (social security) budget, and for that money to be directed to the courts, legal professions, prisons etc. A rehash of 2010-2015 “austerity” nonsense, in short, but with money given to the legal and justice system (and defence). He seemed a smug bastard, rather full of himself. Again, nein danke!

There comes a point when many people wonder whether we still have much worth “defending”. In fact, I think that many have already reached such a conclusion, which is why recruitment to the armed forces has become a thorny issue. I saw an ad for the Army today, showing an entirely black platoon in the field. Has the Army given up trying to recruit real British people?

Range said to be around 1,000 miles. If that increases, with another missile type, to 6,000 miles, the Americans can start to worry.

I think that Israel decided some time ago to clear the Gaza enclave of its population, in order to plant Jewish towns there. Pure genocide, surely, whatever legal quibbles Jew-Zionist lawyers may make. Lebensraum

When will the American dog stop allowing the Israeli tail to wag that American dog?

If the Chinese decide that the American market is closed to them, the consequences might go well beyond economics, and might well be unexpected.

Even GE 2024 Labour voters do not trust Labour. Only 45% think that Labour can be trusted to fulfil whatever it has promised!

I am thinking that a goodly proportion of Labour voters at GE 2024 were only Labour voters because that seemed the best way of kicking out the Conservative Party at the time.

As to the GE 2024 Reform UK voters, 76% of them think that Reform can be trusted. That, of course, has never been put to the test, because Reform has never had any political power.

Digging slightly deeper, 76% of GE 2024 Conservative voters think that the Con Party can be trusted (to my mind, remarkable, looking at the 14 years of lies, incompetence, mass migration invasion etc that preceded GE 2024). Well, in any event, of those who voted, only <24% voted Conservative, and only three-quarters of those now trust the party for which they voted. I imagine that most of those still on board are elderly or very elderly.

Labour is in a worse position yet. Of those who voted at GE 2024, only 33% voted Labour, and less than half of those voters now trust Labour (very understandably).

Diary Blog, 6 January 2025, with more comment about free speech and its enemies, and some information about “Lord” George Foulkes

Free speech, freedom of expression

At present, people are not only being prosecuted for “offences” of having allegedly published “unpleasant” comments but also for having published serious comment relating to important social and political (and historical) matters inconvenient to certain groups, especially the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. I should know. I myself have been victimized, for about 12 -13 years, by the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel lobby. What infuriates that lobby the most is that I refuse to be a victim. I continue to stand up for right, justice, and truth.

The articles below are presented in chronological order, from 2017 through to 2024.

The detail can be read, in part, in those articles but, overall, the anti-free speech campaign against me (and many others) has been spearheaded since 2014 by the small but (((well-funded))) “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, which has relatively few active supporters, even in the UK Jewish “community”, yet presents itself as if in a leadership role. Jewish and/or pro-Israel employees of TV and radio stations make sure that the tiny handful of “CAA” spokespersons are given airtime, while unethical scribblers quote the “CAA” types in a few of the newspapers.

In reality, the “CAA” consists of a small handful of more or less full-time activists, and a larger but still very small number of supporters (some of which are plainly deranged).

Well, there it is. So far, the Jew-Zionists (the “CAA” and also “UKLFI”— “UK Lawyers for Israel”) have managed to have me disbarred (albeit 8 years after I had completely ceased work as a barrister), have me removed from Twitter (in 2018; pre-Elon Musk), have had the police telephone me and/or turn up at the door of my now-humble home several times over the past decade, and have had me subjected 2-3 times to “voluntary” (really, involuntary) police interviews.

The “lobby” has also now (in 2023; sentence in 2024) procured my prosecution and conviction under the “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (despite that Act having been recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).

Naturally, I pleaded Not Guilty (as I always would, were any other attempt to be made) and nearly succeeded, but was found guilty (on very dubious grounds), which resulted (a few months later) in my being sentenced to a 9-month “community order” (i.e. akin to the old “probation”) and which turned out to consist of half a dozen or so short chats —lasting 30 to 120 mins— with a rather charming young probation lady, and also a financial penalty (mainly notional court costs) amounting to £734 (over a third of which was paid by a few generous people who gave to a crowdfunder I set up on GiveSendGo).

I might have succeeded on appeal, but decided that the gamble was not worth the extra trouble and expense, on that occasion.

I was sentenced in mid-March 2024. My “probation” period lasted officially until December 2024 but in reality finished in early September 2024.

Still, I remain politically active in terms of comment, and the blog has been published uninterruptedly right through all that process and nonsense. Almost daily.

Any further attempts to prosecute me or to close down the blog will be met with the same resistance and contempt.

We shall see what transpires. “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings” (at Wessex CPS, aka the “Clown” Prosecution Service, or generally).

Incidentally, quite a few of those who have tried to persecute me over the years have fallen victim to various medical conditions, or other dispensations of Fate; some have died.

The name George Foulkes struck a faint chord, so I looked it up.

Turns out that George Foulkes was born in Shropshire in 1942, was educated partly privately, and was awarded a degree in psychology from Edinburgh in or about 1963-64, after which he apparently managed to avoid having to work in any job or profession (unless you include being f/t President of the Scottish Union of Students and then a local councillor) until elected as Labour MP in 1979 (he tried to become an MP in both 1970 and 1974 but failed).

Foulkes’ time as an MP was undistinguished. He tried to have Space Invaders and similar games banned in 1981 in case they caused “deviancy“, and introduced a few other private members bills which also got nowhere. He served on a few committees, for which he presumably received more money and/or expenses.

Foulkes was appointed a Labour shadow minister in 1992, but was forced to resign in 1993, having assaulted a policeman while drunk (and disorderly).

Foulkes, as both MP and peer, has belonged to a number of Commons committees dealing with the Caribbean, and thereby has received a large number of freebie trips (in effect, holidays) to the Caribbean.

Foulkes —naturally— tore the **** out of his expenses as an MP and, after having been elevated to the Lords, did the same as a peer. Wikipedia notes that his claimed “expenses” as “Lord” Foulkes during the financial year 2007-2008 alone amounted to nearly £55,000, worth about £100,000 in the money of 2025. He was also one of those Labour “parliamentarians” who tried to suppress exposure of his own and all other expenses claims.

Foulkes also “served” (and was well-paid) as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) during 2007-2011. No doubt he claimed plenty of expenses that way too.

The bastard also belongs to Labour Friends of Israel (what a surprise…). He favoured the invasion of Iraq. He was part of the anti-Corbyn caucus in Labour, needless to add.

So there it is. What a useless person, sadly typical of so many careerist, moneygrubbing, System-party politicians. “Dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler called the Weimar Republic equivalent. These days, the word “democratic” might as well be omitted, of course.

Foulkes really should not be tweeting about honesty, integrity, and humanity…

Sadly, Australia, where I lived and went to school for three years in the late 1960s, seems to have been making the same mistakes (promoted by the same or similar malicious groups…) as the UK and much of Europe. Plainly put, importing useless blacks and browns, and others such as Chinese. What a pity. So unnecessary and destructive.

For those unaware, Russian Orthodox Christmas is a couple of weeks behind because the Russian Orthodox Church (though not the rest of Russia) uses the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian. Thus, in Russia, Christmas Day is tomorrow, the 7th of January 2025.

(so much for their claims to be ancient, or to have any real connection to the Jews or Israelites mentioned in the Bible)…

Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!

“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!

“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?

“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.

“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?

“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?

That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?

Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!

[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]

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

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

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

Three facts: Libya was better under Gaddafi. Iraq was better under Saddam Hussein. Syria was better under Assad.

Not that any of the three leaders mentioned was a particularly pleasant or “good” person, and all did very unpleasant or “bad” things, but we should decide matters of politics and geopolitics on the basis of what is the least-worst situation for populations and the world as a whole, not on the basis of unrealistic hopes (leading to violent chaos).

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?

Box-ticking former bureaucrat lawyer Starmer himself, Rachel Reeves the fake “economist” (aka “Rachel from Accounts” and/or the customer complaints dept, Halifax Building Society), “Refugees Welcome” idiot, expenses cheat and would-be dictator, Yvette Cooper, thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner (and the rest).

It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.

Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

Fox has been, perhaps is still on, a socio-political journey, starting off as unthinking System-loyalist, then as conservative-inclined immigration sceptic (but pro-Israel, pro the Jewish lobby etc), and now seems to be moving towards a more social-national position, like many others.

[American-oriented but still relevant to British socio-political attitudes]

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.

Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.

Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.

That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D. Hunter show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, when he cooked up a plot with his wife, Mandy Blumenthal, and Daily Mail junior scribbler Sabrina Miller). See

My own opinion is that, after the contrived Jew-Zionist storm that ensued after the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal reprimanded Lewis and fined him in 2018, the SRA is running a bit scared of the Jew-Zionist lobby and their characteristic contrived “claque” behaviour.

Not again?! Simon Myerson getting the facts and the law muddled again! What a team he and “Mark Lewis Lawyer” would make! Oh, no, wait…

Well, Myerson was sacked as a Recorder (p/t judge) after not very long. As for “KC”, I have noted before on the blog how it signifies not very much these days: in 1938, the later Lord Denning took silk, with three others, I believe, but in 2024 no less than one hundred silks (KCs) were appointed. “More will mean worse“, as Kingsley Amis said once in another context.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.

It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.

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

What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).

The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.

They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.

Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nomresigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Saw an episode which had the former MP and Cabinet minister Justine Greening on one team. Her ignorance, though frankly unsurprising to me, should be regarded as shocking in a former Cabinet minister. She even thought that Fulham is south of the river Thames! Remarkable, in view of the fact that she lives, or lived, in Putney…

Strange woman. Once involved with the ghastly mixed-race “Conservative” activist and notorious bully, Mark Clarke (featured in the past on the blog and now, like Justine Greening herself, politically —and maybe otherwise— washed-up). I read that she is now what the Russians call a “lesbianka“, though that may or may not be the case.

“But you can give it up, stop Shirriffing, if it has stopped being a respectable job,” said Sam.

“We’re not allowed to,” said Robin.

“If I hear not allowed much oftener,” said Sam, “I’m going to get angry.”

“Can’t say as I’d be sorry to see it,” said Robin, lowering his voice. “If we all got angry together something might be done.”

. . . This was Frodo and Sam’s own country, and they found out now that they cared about it more than any other place in the world. Many of the houses that they had known were missing. Some seemed to have been burned down. The pleasant row of old hobbit-holes in the bank on the north side of the Pool were deserted, and their little gardens that used to run down bright to the water’s edge were rank with weeds. Worse, there was a whole line of the ugly new houses all along Pool Side, where the Hobbiton Road ran close to the bank. An avenue of trees had stood there. They were all gone. And looking with dismay up the road towards Bag End they saw a tall chimney of brick in the distance. It was pouring out black smoke into the evening air.

Quoted in a piece by Niall Ferguson, whose views are often not at one with my own, but sometimes are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Ferguson].

That article can be read here: https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-the-rot-in-britain (I did not read it all because of the paywall).

Unfortunately, basically “System” historians and academics such as Ferguson are easily held to ransom by the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. Their own careerist interests tend to get in the way of truth-telling.

The Lord of the Rings quotation there, though, resonates with me. That is more or less how I feel about England. There is, almost daily, less and less left of the England I remember from childhood (early-mid 1960s) and my teenage years (early to mid 1970s) (I was in Australia 1967, 1968, 1969).

Now we are told that, even “net”, the migration invasion will be around a million a year, indefinitely. That means continual degradation of housing availability, healthcare availability, law and order, availability of decent education, ever-lowering real pay; it also means the destruction of the welfare state.

It makes no difference at all whether those entering the UK do so with various visas, and on scheduled flights, or do so in rubber boats, invading the beaches of southern England.

The questions raised are:

  1. how many years before this society collapses, together with its corrupt and decadent political system?
  2. how many years before a real social-national government can take power and exterminate the societal evils that are being visited upon us (not all of which, however, are by reason of mass immigration)?

Each immigrant to the UK, at present, is costing the UK about a million pounds over a lifetime, taking everything into account. It therefore makes sense to say “go out and stay out of the UK and we shall give you a gratuity of £50,000 [or more].” There would have to be a second, firmer statement, i.e. “return to the UK without permission, and you will be shot.”

Of course, such an offer might attract others. That posits the need for firm measures to prevent that.

We could even go further, inviting non-whites born in the UK to emigrate, and providing a similar and larger gratuity to them on that basis, maybe £200,000 in cash. Same (not some) conditions apply…

Expensive, but not so expensive as having them here.

Note: “other solutions are available”.

“They” really have their claws into the U.S. Congress…

Had this story appeared on the 1st of April, I should have assumed that it was a hoax. This country is now so screwed that it is hard at times to believe the extent of it.

The British Council is both useless and expensive. As Martin Bell pointed out many years ago, the (old) BBC World Service did “soft power” diplomacy many times better on a fraction of the budget.

That refers to this:

David Lammy, thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”…

The Labour Party succeeded at GE 2024 (albeit to the extent that 33.7% of voters that voted, voted Labour) not on its own merits, but because “almost everyone” (at least 9 out of every 12) wanted rid of the Conservative Party.

Now we see a similar phenomenon— the people want rid of both of the main System parties. So far, Reform is the only game in town.
