A motorcyclist in a hurry refused to be held up by Just Stop Oil’s rush-hour slow march in the capital by ploughing throw the protesters’ banner before tossing it on the ground as he rode away. The Mail has the story.
The shocking incident happened this morning in Camberwell, south London, as the group marked its 10th week of disruptive ‘slow march’ demonstrations.
The brazen rider was seen careering straight through two protesters holding up the JSO sign which he then gathers and disposes of.
Protesters looked visibly shaken following the incident, which is the latest example of frustrated members of the public taking matters into their own hands in the face of the disruption caused by the activists.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed enforcement actions had been taken after today’s slow march, which saw four groups march in different locations on the capital.
A spokesman said: “Officers issued a Section 12 condition to move out of the carriageway to Just Stop Oil protesters on Holloway Road, Islington, at 08.28.
“The road was cleared two minutes later, and traffic is now moving.”
The embarrassment comes following a difficult week for the group, who were slammed as “performative” by one of their original funders.
American entrepreneur Trevor Neilson co-founded the Climate Emergency Fund (CEF), a group that bankrolled Extinction Rebellion and JSO.
Mr. Neilson has has since resigned his position and described their methods as “unproductive”.
The 50-year-old Californian businessman stepped down in 2021 but has since decided to speak out to criticise the groups’ protest tactics, which include ‘slow marches’ and blocking roads.

Ukraine to send troops to Britain to help overthrow communist dictator
‘We’ve seen this before,” Zelensky warned. “First, they make you put your pronouns in your email signature. Next thing you know, you’re on a collective farm, waiting in line for your turn at the communal Wi-Fi.’
‘Reports suggest that Ukrainian forces are already preparing for the operation, which has been dubbed “Operation Red Dawn 2: Electric Boogaloo.” British citizens have been advised to brace for a wave of freedom, brought to them in the form of Eastern European soldiers who’ve had quite enough of authoritarianism in their own country and are eager to take on the challenge abroad.’
‘Meanwhile, Starmer’s office has dismissed the threat, with an official statement saying, “Sir Keir has faced many challenges, but Ukrainian soldiers storming Westminster wasn’t on our bingo card.’
What’s really going on?
Now, finally, do you see, comrades, why Ukraine invaded Kursk?
Clue: It was a rehearsal, stupid!
Now, finally, do you see why the Conservative government sent all our three tanks and our field kitchen cook to Ukraine?
Clue: Egg banjos will shortly be served in No. 10
Emergency Cobra Meeting: “Cancel the supply of Starmer Shadow missiles to the comedian in Keeev! Spend the millions on Winter fuel allowances for the UK’s OAPs! And get someone who believes in borders for Ukraine to check the identity of the Channel boat refugees; those Ukrainian marines have had practice crossing the Dnieper! Last year it was people in rubber rings landing on the fabled Kentish beaches; today it’s 50-man inflatables!”
And pot holes!
Zelensky UK invasion aims:
‘A new world is being born before our eyes. Ukraine’s military operation in UK has opened a new era – in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, domestic one. Here a new period begins both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system – but this is worth discussing separately a little later.
Ukraine is restoring Britain’s unity – the tragedy of 1999, this terrible catastrophe of Britain’s history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at a great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a de facto civil war, because now brothers, divided by their belonging to the Scottish and English armies, are still swearing at each other – but Scotland as anti-English will no longer exist. Ukraine is restoring Britain’s historical completeness, gathering the British world, the British people together – in all its totality of Great Britain, Scotsmen and Little Welshmen.
If we had refused this, had allowed the temporary division to become entrenched for centuries, then we would not only have betrayed the memory of our ancestors, but would also have been cursed by our descendants – for allowing the disintegration of the British land.
Zelensky has taken upon himself – without a drop of exaggeration – historical responsibility, deciding not to leave the solution of the British question to future generations. After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Ukraine – for two key reasons. And the issue of national security, that is, the creation of an anti-English outpost for Scotland to put pressure on Ukraine, is only the second most important of them.
The first would always remain the complex of a divided people, the complex of national humiliation – when the British house first lost part of its foundation (Edinburgh), and then was forced to come to terms with the existence of two states, not one, but two peoples. That is, either to renounce its history, agreeing with the crazy versions that “only Scotland is the real Kingdom'”, or helplessly gnash its teeth, remembering the times when “we lost Scotland”. Returning Scotland, that is, turning it back to England, would be more and more difficult with each decade – the recoding, de-Anglification of Scotsmen and setting Little Welshmen-Scots against England would gain momentum.
And in the case of the consolidation of complete geopolitical and military control of Europe over Scotland, its return to England would become completely impossible – it would be necessary to fight for it with the Atlantic bloc.
Now this problem is gone – Scotland has returned to England. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be restructured, re-established and returned to its natural state of being part of the British world. Within what borders, in what form will the union with England be secured (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union )? This will be decided after the period in the history of Scotland as anti-English is put to rest. In any case, the period of the split of the British people is ending.
And here begins the second dimension of the coming new era – it concerns relations between Britain and the West. Not even Britain, but the British world, that is, three states, England, Wales and Scotland, acting in geopolitical terms as a single whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees Britain returning.
Did anyone in the old European capitals, in Paris and Berlin , seriously believe that Ukraine would abandon England ? That the British would forever be a divided people? And at the same time, when Europe is uniting, when the German and French elites are trying to wrest control over European integration from the Anglo-Saxons and assemble a united Europe? Forgetting that the unification of Europe became possible only thanks to the unification of Germany , which happened by Ukrainian good will (even if not very smart). To then set their sights on Scotland is the height of not even ingratitude, but geopolitical stupidity. The West as a whole, and even more so Europe separately, did not have the strength to keep Scotland in its sphere of influence, much less take it for itself. Not to understand this, one would have to be a geopolitical fool.
But the confrontation with Scotland, into which the Anglo-Saxons are dragging Europe, deprives the Europeans of even a chance for independence – not to mention the fact that they are trying to force a break with China on Europe in exactly the same way . If the Atlanticists are now happy that the “Scottish threat” will unite the Western bloc, then in Berlin and Paris they cannot help but understand that, having lost hope for autonomy, the European project will simply collapse in the medium term. This is precisely why independently thinking Europeans are now completely uninterested in building a new iron curtain on the Scottish border – realizing that it will turn into a corral specifically for Europe. Whose century (or rather half a millennium) of global leadership is over in any case – but various options for its future are still possible.

Back in the real world, while Putin, his apparatchiks and assorted western dupes dream of a Union State of 250 million people, Russia has just been invaded for the first time since 1941, two of its oil depots still burn and Ukraine has launched its first ballistic missile. Just as well, then, for the rest of the world, that Britain and the U.S. managed to persuade Ukraine to surrender its nuclear warheads in 1994 in return for security assurances concerning its territorial integrity……and then let Russia annex Crimea in 2014.
Nevertheless, the U.S. strategy of weakening Russia so that it can no longer invade its neighbours is working well.
https://web.archive.org/web/20220226051154/https://ria.ru/20220226/rossiya-1775162336.html
The referenced document was published too early by the Kremlin mouthpiece, RIA Novosti, before being quickly taken down.
It assumes Ukraine has been conquered!
It is interesting for many reasons but particularly because it gives the exact reasons why Russia invaded Ukraine
Demography, a falling Russian birth rate
The threat that a successful European capitalist democracy in neighbouring Ukraine would represent to the present Russian establishment of Putin, his cronies and the security agencies (Siloviki).
Tellingly, no mention of NATO.
It is also interesting for these particular paragraphs:
‘….the rest of the world sees and understands perfectly well – this is a conflict between Russia and the West, this is a response to the geopolitical expansion of the Atlantists, this is Russia returning its historical space and its place in the world.’
‘Not even Russia, but the Russian world, that is, three states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, acting in geopolitical terms as a single whole. These relations have entered a new stage – the West sees Russia returning to its historical borders in Europe’
It is our old friend, isn’t it: the ‘Union State’!
And what were the historical borders of Russia?
Oh! Ukraine, Moldova, yes, and all the Baltic States but also Poland, Finland.
And…….Manchuria….Oops!
That is why China as well as the U.S. are happy to see Russia defanged…..oh…and happy to see them use up all of North Korea’s kit as well…..hilarious…..how they laughed in the West Building, Zhongnanhai……..
er, no … if the Russians want to restore their historical border, they would have to give back a whole chunk of Poland, not take even more.
Well, I have to congratulate you Monro. That really was an interesting and funny article on so many levels and the hidden message was interesing too.
Or a waste of column inches! Who knew? (Or cares?)
The Ria Novosti link is to an opinion piece written in February 2022, congratulating Putin on welcoming Ukraine back into the Russian fold – one of our friend’s favourite topics. But, firstly, it is one man’s opinion and, secondly, he talks about the three Russian states – Russia, Ukraine and Belarus – acting as one (not being one), i.e. in unison, which is probably how it will become. The last paragraph is prescient – remember it was written 2 years ago:
China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West rules the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not just challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global dominance can be considered completely and finally over. The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of forces, of course, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules.
They’re pushing out an RSV vaccine at wife’s surgery. Eligible to 75-80 and pregnant women over 28 weeks. Very specific right? I mean, you know, if it’s so safe why the restricted demographics? So I did a bit of digging…
The vaccine being rolled out in the UK is, as far as I can tell, a traditional attenuated virus version and made by… guess who? Yup, our friends at Pfizer. There are three – GSK, Pfizer & Moderna, and only Moderna created a mRNA version. Both GSK and Pfizer use what they call a ‘subunit protein’ vaccine, so the same technology. And this is where it gets really interesting; GSK has taken legal proceedings against Pfizer for stealing their IP https://www.goodwinlaw.com/en/insights/blogs/2023/08/gsk-sues-pfizer-for-patent-infringement-over-rsv-vaccine , so the vaccines will be very, very similar, if not virtually identical. Therefore both must have a great safety profile right? Nope. GSK stopped their trials in pregnant women as the stuff increased the risk of premature birth by 37% https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv/study-details-why-phase-3-trial-gsks-rsv-vaccine-pregnant-women-was .Thirty seven percent! Yet, Pfizer’s vaccine, which is pretty much the same stuff, has been authorised and recommended for pregnant women over 28 weeks. I wonder how Pfizer managed that…$$$…$$$…?
The official NHS guidance acknowledges there was a small increase in premature birth in the Pfizer vaccine as well, but states, and I quote “…This difference is most likely to be due to chance”. That’s fine then, as long as the risk of premature birth is probably nothing to do with the vaccine then we should definitely roll it out to millions of women.
I cannot hate these people more. The evil is beyond my comprehension.
They had to monetise all that spare jab junk hanging around in their warehouses.
It is sad they take advantage of young pregnant women who have no idea of past disasters like Thalidomide.
“Net Zero is becoming a threat to our basic security”
If the planet really does need saving from emissions, does it make more sense to (a) switch off street lights, freeze pensioners and ban meat, or (b) switch off the power-hungry AI used for mass-surveillance?
And, critically, if you only produce < 1% of global emissions you need everyone else onboard of course. Strangely, nobody ever seems to want to talk about that. How…. ‘odd’. Still, if you’re real goal is control, then you want to create an irreversible dependency on the global project by reducing farmland to erect ‘sustainable’ energy sources, and you use an ’emergency’ to manipulate minds as a precursor to control of behaviour. Whilst you get the masses to look the other way, you build a surveillance system which only the Chinese can rival. Destroy the old, build the new. Once enough of the new global system is ready, all that is left to do is flick a switch.
Ironically, it may in fact be the high electricity demand of AI and the rising costs of electricity that may slow and perhaps even halt the advance of AI.
Is there a point where it just become uneconomical? There must be.
So far with computer tech it has seemed as if power requirements are inconsequential. But perhaps it will be different with AI.
And we may end up discovering (once again) what an amazing self powering, highly efficient, intelligent organism homo sapiens is and that we are still light years away from becoming the gods we sometimes think we are.
Is it not more likely that governments will ban it for the public “to save the planet” whilst increasing it at GCHQ etc with no accountability?
It’s hard for all governments to ban it, especially if not banning it gives one country an edge over one that does.
What I wonder is whether there are practical physical limits where the cost of taking it further due to the energy requirements makes it unviable.
At least lurve-bombing Berlin is humane compared to the other sort that was once carried out there.
Seriously, if you’re going to release prisoners after they’ve served a fifth of their sentence, why not just cut to the chase and not imprison them at all?
Think of the savings… no prisons, no prison officers, no courts, no lawyers, no legal aid… it’s a win/win, surely?
And police officers could be multi tiered in their own time as we would not need any.
we would have costs in fencing in Notting Hill and Kentish Town to ensure the main villains can’t get out – MPs!
How long before trans men in women’s prisons go to law to challenge early release.
Yes exactly. It’s an absolute joke. We have actual criminals, such as that dirtbag that was found guilty of historical rape from 2005 ( I’m still not getting how people can be found guilty so many years later ), or the misogynist who attacked the three women at the petrol station or the mugger in London who broke his victim’s elbow in the process of robbing his watch or the Pakistani men assaulting police at Manchester airport, and many more examples I’m sure we could all find, but they’re all able to avoid being sent down because the government is so myopically focused and obsessed with making examples of so-called ‘right-wing thugs’, or ‘meme terrorists’, as I call them. I mean, shouting at police officers/dogs or posting an anti-establishment opinion vs rape or actual bodily harm? It should be a no-brainer who gets sent to jail, right? Wrong. The show trials must go on..
”Most crime victims in England and Wales lack faith in the criminal justice system to do its job and deliver justice.
That is according to a new report by the independent Victims’ Commissioner, drawing upon the largest study—of over 3,000 victims of crime—it has ever undertaken. 73% of respondents to the study said they aren’t confident reporting a crime will lead to justice. 40% also expressed dissatisfaction with police responses.
The online survey was launched in November last year, while the Conservatives were still in office. Its findings further highlight the collapse in support for many British institutions.
Public trust in this most important of systems is likely to have gotten much worse in the past few months of new Labour governance. In this time, prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has signed off on plans to release thousands of criminals after they served just 40% of their sentences. Many of them are violent and will almost inevitably offend again.
The almost constant flow of reports of criminals being given far too easy a ride won’t have done much to instill confidence, either. Just this week, a mother hit out at Starmer’s administration after she discovered that one of the killers of her 14-year-old son—who was the victim in a violent machete attack—will be released from prison after serving just 14 months in total.”

There is someone masquerading as “Victims commissioner”? It isn’t April 1st you know.
Do we need further proof that Germany has gone to the dogs because it’s governed by hideous Woketards? Not really, but here’s some anyway. Men didn’t used to be incarcerated in women’s prisons years ago but the times they are a-changing. Yes, even the ones doing time for sex crimes;
”Germany has begun transferring violent male convicts who “identify” as women into female prisons, despite the fact the nation hasn’t yet formally enacted its gender self-identification law. Among them are dangerous sex offenders and pedophiles.
On April 12, the German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world’s most far-reaching sex self-determination policies, known as the Self-Determination Act (SBGG). But while the gender identity policies are not set to come into effect until November, correctional institutions are already transferring male criminals into the female prison estate in anticipation of the law.
Women‘s rights organization Initiative Lasst Frauen Sprechen (Let Women Speak) requested figures from all ministries of justice in the federal states in Germany on how many men have been or are currently imprisoned in women’s correctional facilities since 2023. The campaign group also asked for information on the nature of the crimes the men had committed.
The response from government officials show that males are already being housed in women’s prisons in every federal state, a practice that began months ahead of the German self-identification law coming into force in November. The only federal state that does not house men in women’s prisons is Saarland, because there are no women’s prisons in the region. As a result, trans-identified male criminals in the state may be relocated to female facilities in other federal districts.
Of the federal states with males housed in women’s prisons, Berlin stands out as the most saturated. According to official information from the Senate Department of Justice in Berlin, since 2023 “15 people whose sex was registered as male at birth have been imprisoned in the Berlin correctional facility for women.”

The comments of the ‘spoons man, in response to Ryanair’s plea to moderate drinking in airports, makes me wonder just how much people are really drinking before they get on an airplane?
Presumably, for him to say anything at all suggests that he recognises a two drink limit will be severely detrimental to his business… drunk people on airplanes; what could possibly go wrong?
It never ceases to amaze me, if I happen to be at a British airport in the small hours of the morning, that people are actually drinking pints of beer at that time. Mind you, they are often eating Burger King, which is just as nauseating at that time of day.
Technically you can buy a far larger amount of alcohol in duty free and swig it while waiting for the plane. But if you want to do the civilized thing and sit down in a pub and order a drink served in a glass, while paying the higher price because you are not an uncultured low life, then the government takes offence.
Leary has clearly never had to wait for a delayed flight in an airport. An absolute limit on drinks inrespective of the time spent waiting for a plane is simply inhuman.
They’re the future don’t you know?
Sounds like an overheated chip pan!

Net Zero is becoming a threat to our basic security” – Turning off street lamps to cut emissions is insane. But with Ed Miliband as Energy Secretary, we can expect many more such measures, says Matthew Lynn in the Telegraph.
When I was a kid, the street lights in our road (and presumably many roads) were always turned off at around 11pm, in the winter coming on again at around 5am. I seem to remember reading a long time ago that the timers used in street lamps, which obviously at times failed, were becoming too expensive and time consuming to replace, so it was decided to leave the lights on all night as the cheaper option. Personally I don’t think it’s an insane idea. While they are at it they should encourage the turning off of lights in unused offices. Aerial night time photos of our country/world always amaze me with the amount of light from towns and cities. I couldn’t give a fig about emissions, but I do detest waste.
So why was street lighting created in the first place? Answer: it lowered crime rates!
But that doesn’t matter anymore cause they do it in broad daylight! sign of the wonderful diversity we now enjoy, turn them all off they are no longer relevant
and furthermore there is overproduction of electricity at night.
Odd that. Lineker put ME off MOTD…
