Entrenched enforcement of the unfair

Julia and I do not have a rule but a convention that she posts one day, me the next, Grandpa whenever, with her say prevailing when we discuss things. I try not to run two posts between hers unless it's obviously of immediate relevance ... and so is this one this morning.

That Scottish football game

Anyone who follows the football of these isles will already know all about this … perhaps anyone outside these isles might not.

There was a title game between Celtic and Hearts teams for the Premiership and, with 30 seconds of regular time left, Celtic were 3-1 up. Fairly straightforward victory, you’d think. Celtic fans invaded the pitch, bringing the game to a (temporary) stop. The refereee should have called a halt until the pitch had been cleared and then …

… well, that’s the thing … what then? The ref called the game “ended”, not “abandoned”.

A freelance Scot at Lord Toby’s site (Daily Sceptic) writes, this morning:

“Hearts have protested about the treatment of their team and staff and the “menacing atmosphere” they had to endure. They have also called for “the strongest possible action to protect player safety and the integrity of the Scottish game”.

The last part of that sentence may be a coded signal that they do not accept the result and are putting the SPFL on notice. The police are investigating the allegations of assault.”

Yes, dear reader, the Celtic crowd started menacing and assaulting the Hearts players on the pitch … during the game.

“In response, the SFPL has insisted the game was ended appropriately and have tweeted its congratulations to Celtic. The league has stressed that the referee said the game was ended, not abandoned, and it has not been recorded as such. A report will be submitted, but I’d be surprised if the SPFL deviates from this position now.”

And more to the point:

“Here is the problem: referees cannot simply end the game early. The exact wording of the law is “additional time may be added but not reduced”. If a referee is forced to curtail a match before time, for whatever reason (weather, floodlight failure, medical emergency, violence) the game has not been ended but abandoned.

Thus, Celtic vs Hearts was not ended naturally, but abandoned, unnaturally, due to a pitch invasion by home fans. According to SPFL rules, the consequence of that is a victory for the opposition, or a replay.”

Interestingly for me, last night I'd been watching that McEnroe incident when he defaulted at the Australian Open tennis for “code violations” (1990). At his fourth violation for bad manners, he was dismissed from the game. He had calculated that he had one violation left to go but the Tennis Federation had reduced it to three before this game and not “informed him”. That was it.

Back to the Hearts v Celtic thing … the SPFL had acted outside its own rules, rules which were there for a reason. To an English temperament, this was highly unfair, outrageous in fact, more FIFA than British, esp. English.

But this was Scotland, warrnt it? This was where a Moose Limb was shoved in as FM, where Sturgeon had plans that every Scottish child would have a State Mentor, far worse than in the former USSR. It’s ingrained bullying, as in English Public Schools of yore ... and fear … it doth rule.

Entrenched enforcement of the unfair.

For those outside of this culture, a good idea can be had by watching Michael Palin’s school bully episode. With an edge of course, because this is Scotland in this case … a special kind of bullying. Not American military college “hazing”.

Yet another complication is that the worst rivalry in Scottish football is Celtic v Rangers, which is basically Micks versus proddy boys or Catholics v Protestants, which is also behind the Northern Irish “Troubles”, the bombings and shootings. History tells us that the Scots had quite an influence on Northern Ireland.

Throughout my upbringing, the Catholics were seen as rough and not given to non-violent methods … the Protestants had to counter that somehow. Much of Australia was, before the global invasion, Irish Catholic, e.g. Ned Kelly. It was, in fact, behind England v Oz Test Matches and the Rodney Marsh style “sledging”, though I’m not sure he was Catholic.

Also, you may have heard of the violence of nuns on children (watch The Blues Bros).

So let’s just say there’s nothing unusual in any of this. Which does not make it right. Injustice in the past four decades or so has become entrenched … see Farage’s indifference to pack raped girls and Rupert taking up their case.

When the mentally disturbed become the hegemony

What we have below here is the issue itself of the flooding of western countries but also the added, and in fact underlying issue, of the two young women involved. One is clearly patriotic to her country, people, roots, whilst the other is a traitress, witting or unwitting.

Look at her story, this Frostadottir. I had a fair bit to do with Iceland from the 90s till just past the mid 2000s, a year into my N.O. blogging. In short … I fell out with not only the editor of Iceland Review but with various authors … all girls, all as Woke as communists, totally intolerant of history and culture.

I’d been there, physically, in Iceland by the way.

Same old story … education now politically correct … jump some decades and here’s this bint Frottasdottir, somehow PM of the country … are there no men?

Short answer … no. And the teachers at school and in tertiary? Ditto … Woke insane. Heavy on DEI flooding.

This next below won’t appear in the OoL and Jstack versions … it only expands on WP.

Caught The Lying Bastards At It Again

Body-worn video of a woman's "degrading" arrest, which police falsely told a court did not exist, has been shared exclusively with the BBC.

It's a measure of how confident they are - or perhaps how haplessly incompetent - that it still exists to be found. 

The Chief Constable of Northamptonshire, Ivan Balhatchet, was found guilty of contempt of court in November and fined £50,000 for failing to release the body-worn videos to her.

Whereupon all copies of something they had denied the existence of should have disappeared. Do they learn nothing from the criminal element they deal with?

Both forces declined to comment due to ongoing damages claims for more than £3m, though in its civil defence, Northamptonshire Police insisted the use of force was lawful.

"I don't do well with injustice," says Buzzard-Quashie, 43, from west London, who is the founder of a corporate gifting company.

Oh, make no mistake, the woman herself isn’t a sympathetic character. But that’s ok, she doesn’t need to be to show the Northamptonshire farce up to be almost corrupt to the core!  Why 'almost'? Well...

Radio logs shared with the BBC reveal officers from the Met were in regular contact with their counterparts in Northamptonshire, appearing to press the urgency of apprehending Buzzard-Quashie by claiming she "lacked capacity" and had "indicated she will try [to kill herself]". The BBC asked the Met to explain the basis for this intelligence, but it refused to comment. Meanwhile, officers on the ground appeared to be confused by the level of interest in her. When instructed by a senior officer to "consider using Section 136 powers" to detain her under the Mental Health Act, one of the officers points out: "She presents as having capacity and has made no intent or threats to harm herself." When the same officer is then told to "lock her up for failing to stop", he replies: "Er, we can try that, but at no point have I lit the blue lights of the vehicle up."

So, there are some honest cops -how can they stand what the job has become?

After she was released, the case against her was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Of course it was. They know a losing case when they see one! 

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, Danielle Stone, told a panel she and Balhatchet were not made aware of the proceedings for contempt until October last year, but acknowledged there were "huge questions" about the chief constable's apparent lack of awareness, and has launched a review. The BBC has asked for comment from Balhatchet's predecessor, Nick Adderley, who was chief constable of Northamptonshire Police at the time of the incident in 2021.

Adderley… say, that name seems familiar….. 

Adderley is charged with fraud, misconduct in public office and making a false witness statement in relation to a separate matter and is due to stand trial in 2027.

Oh, right!  

A break from current politics

Yes, this could have looked at Makerfield, Massey in the States, the Dutch fightback against invader dumps ... but this, concerning 911 came up via "Crazy Vibes" on X:

The woman America forgot on purpose

September 2001. The Twin Towers had just fallen. The FBI was buried under years of untranslated wiretaps—foreign language intercepts from people they were actively watching. Conversations that might have stopped the attack, never read. Warnings that might have saved lives, sitting in boxes.

They needed translators. Fast.

Sibel Edmonds was 31. Iranian-born. Turkish-raised. American by choice. She spoke Turkish, Farsi, and Azerbaijani fluently. She passed the background check. Got top-secret clearance. Started translating the most sensitive intelligence the Bureau had.

Six months later, she was gone.

Here's what happened.

She discovered something impossible to ignore. Intercepts were being mistranslated. Documents involving active investigations were disappearing. A colleague had foreign connections that made her a security risk. The translation system designed to prevent another 9/11 was being sabotaged from the inside.

She did everything right. Wrote internal memos. Reported it to her supervisors. When they told her to stay quiet, she went higher. In March 2002, she wrote directly to FBI Director Robert Mueller. Laid out everything she'd seen.

Two weeks later, they fired her. Called it performance issues.

She refused to disappear quietly. Hired a lawyer. Filed whistleblower complaints. Tried to testify before Congress. Tried to tell the 9/11 Commission what she knew. Then the government made her vanish.

In May 2004, Attorney General John Ashcroft did something almost unprecedented in American history. He invoked the State Secrets Privilege over her entire FBI experience. Retroactively classified everything. What she saw. What she said. Even the languages she translated. Even where she was born.

If she repeated in public what she'd already said in unclassified Senate testimony, she could go to prison for life under the Espionage Act.

Her wrongful termination lawsuit? Dismissed. The court said proceeding would reveal state secrets. The Supreme Court refused to hear her case. No explanation.

The 9/11 Commission wanted to interview her. They were blocked.

She became, in the words of civil liberties advocates, the most gagged person in United States history.

Now think about the whistleblowers whose names you do know.

Edward Snowden. Chelsea Manning. Daniel Ellsberg. Reality Winner. They have documentaries. Books. Movies. Some ran. Some went to prison. All of them got their stories told. Sibel Edmonds came before them all. Was silenced more completely than any of them. And most Americans have never heard her name.

In 2004, the Department of Justice's own Inspector General released his report. Glenn Fine—the man whose job is to investigate when the government lies—confirmed it. He found serious mismanagement in the FBI translation unit. Security concerns about the colleague she'd named. Evidence her firing was retaliation. Real problems with how foreign intelligence was being handled.

The government's own internal watchdog said she was telling the truth.

It didn't matter. The gag order was permanent. The lawsuits were dismissed. The report became one more thing she wasn't allowed to discuss.

She started the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition to help others who'd been silenced. Wrote a memoir in 2012—every single page scrubbed of what she's forbidden to say.

Twenty-three years later, she has never testified under oath in open court. She has never been allowed to tell her full story.

She is alive. In America. Today.

She still cannot speak.

Most forgotten stories fade by accident. By time. By the slow erosion of memory.

This one was forgotten on purpose. By signature. By executive order. By an Attorney General who decided one woman's testimony about FBI failures was too dangerous for Americans to hear.

Edward Snowden's name survived because he fled and the world watched. Daniel Ellsberg's survived because the Pentagon Papers were published.

Sibel Edmonds' name is fading because she did it the right way. Reported through proper channels. Trusted the system. And the system erased her.

She cannot tell her story.

The only way her name survives is if we tell it for her.

Now you know. Say her name, or the silence wins.

WHAT! You Mean We Have To Abide By British Laws?

A kebab in London that has gained fame on TikTok is causing misery for local families - despite being slapped with a zero-star hygiene rating. Lebanese Grill Express on Leather Lane has been the subject of complaints from residents in the nearby Bourne Estate for five years.

Locals have lodged numerous complaints with Camden Council, the police and the takeaway itself.

 And all to little avail.

One mother-of-two living on the estate said: "If this were happening in Chelsea or Hampstead, the place would be shut down."

Yes, it would. But it's not, so it isn't. 

She described the area as Camden's most deprived and claimed the business appears to operate "above the law." "My child goes to bed at nine o'clock, but music is playing until 1am every day of the week. Why do we have to put up with this?" she said.

Because you can't afford to live in  Chelsea or Hampstead where you'd be protected.

Residents report deliveries arriving as early as 5.30am, before the chimney starts belching out smoke from 9am, and continues for as many as 15 hours. "You only have two hours to sleep, if you can," the neighbour added. "I can't sleep. I'm exhausted."

What about the people who are doing it? Isn’t there a similar effect on their jobs? Or don’t they have jobs…

Residents claimed the owner accused police and the council of incompetence - and dismissed neighbours' concerns as racism. Its late-night licence was reviewed last November due to pollution issues, and was subsequently revoked. However, the decision has been appealed, meaning Lebanese Grill Express can continue operating until 1am while awaiting its appeal hearing.

What else to expect from a modern day council?

A Camden Council spokesman said:"Our community safety team will continue to tackle anti-social behaviour and offer reassurance to residents, ahead of the appeal hearing which is scheduled for August." The Metropolitan Police said officers are "aware of ongoing reports of anti-social behaviour in and around the Lebanese Grill Express on Leather Lane, Farringdon".

Everyone's aware of the problem, but not doing anything about it. Classic.

Which immigration is "acceptable"?

Phew. Well, for a start, there’s coming over to make a new life, job, wife, home, having gone through extensive hoops, awarded points … as against flooding in, just to dip the wick into our women … and there was a saying in WW 2 about that: “Overpaid, overfed, oversexed … and over here,” referring to American GIs. Could also have referred to the Vikings way back when.

What of lil ole moi though? WN2 Serbian, fiancee Russian a decade after that fizzled. Now what did the Russki men think of me dipping the wick into their fairhaired girl and producing mixed gene progeny? Plus, in our town, they’d been mixing genes between Bolgars and Russkis for hundreds of years.

Long after that itself was over, in Sicily, at the end of my Russki gal’s visit, we were heading for the airport, up came a Sicilian girl and in their effusive way, she planted one, my Russki turned eyes up to the heavens … she must have thought I was leaving, Claudia.

So who am I to speak of purity of bloodline? And what of my dad and mum? What the heck was a dour Yorkshireman doing dalliance-ing a colleen from County Cork? I mean … what gives here?

And yet the third photo below which I refuse to post … so I’ll describe it instead … I didn’t like it one little bit because shirley it negated everything we are currently trying to do?

All right … to the first pic:

I know nothing of whether she was married, had a child with her, came to marry and for a better life, any of that. She stated that she came for a better life but now it was what it is … readers, I am slowly getting to the point, bear with me.

All right, second pic:

All right, I see a Thomas Sowell type, articulate, loves the culture. Uh huh. I like him. Plus I run reaction vids by blacks. How does that fit in with that rally yesterday?

Before I get to that … the third pic I’m describing, not posting … can’t be unseen. Four late teen, early 20s, whatever. Left to right … black girl, not one of the massive mamas bashing other people … white girl, let’s just call it western, entangled by the typical new thug/spiv middle-eastern or African and he was obviously in for the dipping of the wick, ignoring his own ethnic girl … then a white male, nondescript, slight, weakish.

I’m not sure I need add anything to that pic. The one to ask questions of is obviously the white girl and already I know the answer, judging by the two males.

To my mind, factors in answering the question of which immigration is acceptable include:

a. Connection by family stretching back, bloodline, culture, followed by birthplace
b. Attitude, intention and behaviour
c. Sheer numbers and mass breeding capacity.

“Intention” includes mission, purpose in being here … is it to take over, outbreed, kill off the indigenous? With the ability to do it?

As part of “culture”, I’m including the Christian underpinnings of civility, safety on the streets and so on. I understand the pagans were here earlier but look at them and their wickerman savagery, the druids, oak grove sacrifices etc. … very appealing, for example, to woke left women … throw soup and paint over old art, the little savages.

What’s the solution, good reader?

You will NOT be reading about this SCANDAL virtually anywhere else

The QUESTION which British mainstream media have resolutely IGNORED. There was a spate of arson attacks against properties and vehicles associated with Two-tier Queer Kier, some time back; and three Ukrainian allegedly homosexual models were arrested and charged. 

Now the QUESTION. 

IF the three men arrested had been associated or linked with a senior Conservative politician; or even a Reform headliner, there would be wall-to-wall tv and print coverage of that trial, and rightly so. But, the senior politician involved is none other that the British Prime Minister, so WHY the deafening silence? 

Apart from the pronunciations of George Galloway on the Arson Trial (pun intended), which were pretty revealing, and a few individual political commenters such as myself, one would almost believe that there has been a collective endeavour to resolutely IGNORE this “Should be Headline News” Trial of three Ukrainian “models’ attacking Kier Starmer’s vehicles and properties. 

The ONLY well-sourced and informative publication with ANY kind of commentary upon this 'embargoed’ QUESTION and news which should have been Headlined coverage comes from Inside Britain, and is, itself worth a read, if only to discover what has been resolutely IGNORED by virtually every other News Outlet and Publication in the whole of this United Kingdom.

And so to today's UTK meeting in London

A reminder, good reader, that my semi-live blogging on the rally today will be at HQ of unherdablecatsdotcom, at Sat 11, 12, 13.

......

Yes, we do need to speak of it, we’re almost all pretty disgusted with Starmer’s attempts to disrupt it … part of that is to monitor how his “far righters” jump. Ezra mentions that here:

What we have here though is a cluster of points of division. Ezra will be dismissed for being Israeli, Tommy was welcomed there, so he’s seen that way … then there are those calling him a grifter, despite Sep 13 last year.

Then we get to the ethnat versus civnat division. There’s location versus religion … is it Pakistanis and Somalians we’re down on or is it Starmer’s and Chas 3’s and the civil service’s beloved Islam?

There’s also the simple fact of raped girls, grooming gangs, that it’s unsafe for anyone walking outside, let alone females and children in general, that the PTB turn a universal blind eye to all that and instruct Plod to do likewise. Courts too. Sikh dagger length … perfectly legal for the non indigenous to carry.

Some go online and say things like:

Wot … over 4000 Plod for one rally? Almost none for the Pakistani rally? Yet these Fabians think it’s fine to carry on as it is. “Fairly” is hardly the operative word here, is it?

“The Unite the Kingdom protest It will start on Kingsway and proceed to Aldwych, Strand, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, ending in Parliament Square. The speeches and music are to conclude by 17:30, and the assembly must end by 18:00.”

There Is Nothing Some Women (And Men) Won’t Do For Vanity.

There’s a buzzy new diva in the world of cosmetic injectables and she’s quick, easy to recover from … and came from a dead body. Indeed, people are injecting themselves with fat from corpses in order to pump up their physiques, and it’s catching on more than you would think.

Oh, I hold no illusions about what some women (and men!) will put on or in their bodies for vanity’s sake. Especially now we are in 2026 and have the modern cult of the ‘influencer’ to contend with…

But where on earth are they getting this stuff? 

When individuals donate their organs, tissue banks often collect abdominal fat cells, too. Companies then purchase that fat from the tissue banks and process it for cosmetic use.

... the process has fueled longstanding concerns about whether donors know how their remains will be used.

The answer is ‘No, they don’t and what’s more, they don’t have a say in it either'. 

The aesthetics of capitalism play a big role in why we’ll likely see more and more people seeking out this procedure.

Oh, of course! 

The downtime is reportedly minimal, and many are opting for it because that means they don’t lose any productivity hours. Business Insider spoke to plastic surgeons who have completed a combined 75 procedures with alloClae since it became available early last year, and they described “wealthy executives and corporate types, booking 6am visits so they could make it to work by 7”, and using the filler to look better in their work clothes.

Boo! Hiss!  

Nobody wants to get old, and they damn sure don’t want to look it. Anti-ageing is a billion-dollar business and the people seeking cosmetic procedures are skewing younger and younger.

And yet, it's all for nothing. Because they are inevitably aging no matter what they do... 

The demise of charity shops

Having worked in one for a couple of years, we got to know the routines, the sorting through, the identifying of good pieces, the display skill which our deputy-boss had and I just followed her lead.  On the clothing side, we steamed and cleaned, other items were also cleaned and if possible, repaired.

This took labour, which cost money in the case of boss and deputy but I never realised how much until I went for the deputy job at other charity shops … it was reasonably paid, given she was the one doing the most work. The boss got vastly more and then the district boss, then the national, who was on high five figures.

The volunteers were just that … unpaid. All that was fine in my eyes, as long as we had good stock, well sorted. We did have because we were in an upmarket city with upmarket outlying villages and stock was often nice … yes, I dressed from there too, the cafetiere, other knick-knacks were from there … set of large coffee mugs … by the way, we did pay the going price on them to the shop but yes, we also had first dibs.

The whole point of the charity shop rounds in those days, for mainly ladies, was quality bargains … for example, there was much Autograph, nice coats etc., probably deceased stock for the good pieces … and so it went. Long story short … it was worth the effort.

Now to today’s video:
