Still Think He's Absolutely Not Suffering From Dementia..?

President Biden announced a new crackdown on...

Ooooh, wait, wait!

This should be good! 

...what he describes as 'junk fees' to ease inflation pressures, including surprise legroom charges that he says affect 'low-income folks and people of color' the most.

Wait, what...? 

'Some airlines if you want six more inches between you and the seat in front you pay more money, but you don't know it until you purchase your ticket,' Biden griped in remarks Wednesday. 'Look folks, these are junk fees are unfair and the hidden marginalized Americans the hardest, especially low income folks, and people of color.'

Did he just call all minority people in the US fat..? 

Some scratched their heads at Biden making legroom charges a race issue.

Umm, well, yes!  

Instead of hitting the campaign trail, Biden is pushing out messaging from the White House that those worries are being heard.

Translation: his handlers daren't let him leave the White House. Not to visit any of the 54 states...

Those sculptors sure work fast

What’s “indoctrination” anyway?

Consider this on Gab:

Everyone “indoctrinates”, every blogger presents things from his or her angle … every parent, every teacher.  Rather than taking the word “indoctrinates” itself to task, more accurately we should be debating just what we do indoctrinate kids with.

For example, sexuality is not for schools to get involved in, esp. perverted things such as chopping kids bits off, nor are globo-Woke weasel words, e.g. equality and diversity the way they’ve been hijacked and perverted by the Wokerati, nor utter lies such as the attack on nitrogen … bizarre … nor destroying gender and families.

On safer ground is what the soldiers did fight and die for in WW2, for example … what they believed they were fighting for … freedom from totalitarianism. In vaguely American words … freedom of thought, word, action, belief.

That last one, by definition, includes cultists, dogmatics and the Wokerati themselves. Voltaire’s ascribed maxim.  Methinks it’s one thing saying something as a private individual, it’s quite another forcing it on kids as part of a closely coordinated globo push, where the clones all mumble the same top-down claptrap.

Take God, Queen (King) and country, which has been central to this nation for so long … the part I’m iffy on is Queen (King) because I know what was done and spoken at the PofW investiture, plus at Kamloops and near Venice.  

However, I must acknowledge, as we all saw at the Queen’s farewell, quite an outpouring … in fact such an outpouring that I don’t believe my reticence should hold water over the people’s desire as a whole, even if it could. Similarly, I’m not crazy for football or tennis … however, so many people love the first and love their Wimbledon, Chelsea Flower Show and Crufts, even the Boat Race.  Why not? My preference for sailing, Rugby Union and cricket is neither here nor there.  Nor should anyone try to ban those by the way.

We should, though, deal immediately with ethnic and yoof stab culture which has now reached impossible proportions.  How though, when plod refuses to do its job and court verdicts are upside down?

The Price of Everything, and the Value of Nothing

This photo of a pack of Tesco Bacon is, at the same time, depicting an item from a Supermarket shelf which is both normal, and at the same time a commentary upon how we are governed, how we are ruled, how we accept the lunacy of Inflation as though it has never happened; and how the truth is kept well away from reality.

The price of that Bacon pack is £3.50. Nine months ago, that same Bacon pack could be bought for £1.95.

Some sixty-six years ago, I commenced work as an apprentice. 

My first week’s paypacket came to the equivalent, in todays Decimal currency, of £3.25.

It's Our Money She's Won..!

The Met Police has paid out £10,000 in damages to a Christian evangelist preacher for wrongful arrest and unlawful imprisonment.

Hatun Tash was twice arrested at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park after reporting to officers that she was being harassed and threatened by Islamic demonstrators.

A good win for freedom of speech? Yes, undoubtedly. But the police aren't paying it, are they? 

And until they are, personally, there's no reason for them to ever stop, is there?

Did the authorities do the right thing this time?

Scene is a camp in Oregon for kids.

https://www.opb.org/article/2022/10/24/oregon-outdoor-school-nonbinary-counselors-camp-tamarack-culver-schools/

In a story like this, one expects the wicked Woke district officials to be the rabid far left at fault, and that the honest camp director was striking a blow for freedom … and yet the behaviour seems to have been the other way around.

District officials learned nonbinary counselors would be sharing cabins with the students, according to letters sent to parents later that day. Interviews with the district and emails from Oct. 18 show school officials took little deliberation before pulling students from the camp.

When we read:

Garber did not know how many students expressed discomfort or if they had actually requested they be taken home.

… it’s ordinarily one of these ‘some march or whatever called off because one mystery person had complained’, no one ever finding out whom that was.  Not here … it does seem as if children’s letters triggered the reaction and that those reacting were officialdom … quite rightly this time.

Wonders never cease.  Are things coming full circle?  Is that too much to hope for?

In Oregon?

Stereotypes Always Have Some Basis In Fact...

Ms Thermidor said soon afterwards that she recorded Betsy Bassis, who was chief executive at the time, having a private conversation with then chairwoman Millie Banerjee, during which the latter seemingly played down the matter.

Ms Banerjee said the situation was ‘high risk’ for NHSBT but that she could not ‘fix the ravages or consequences of 300 years of slavery and 200 years of empire’. She also talked of there being a ‘nasty dichotomy’ between different ethnic groups, with Asians considering themselves ‘well above the blacks’.

Ms Banerjee stepped down in August last year. She denies acting or talking in a racist manner.

Is that not the case, then?  

An external report into grievances raised by Ms Thermidor found she was not treated unfavourably because of her race but that she and others ‘did suffer harassment in NHSBT because of their race’.

Ms Thermidor resigned in February last year. Both Ms Bassis and Ms Banerjee have vowed to contest her claims at the tribunal.

Preselection and PM anointing need drastic overhaul

With the awful realisation that Sunpak has it, it’s a good time to look at the dysfunctional systems in the UK.  Farage refers to part of it:

Putting the cart before the horse, the voting systems themselves are fraught. FPTP is close to the worst, where someone with 30% or so gets in and it tends to produce a two horse race, sometimes a third. 

Preferential, the system in Oz, has everyone fill in each box with a number … your fave is 1, the worst in your eyes gets the last number.  Getting it wrong makes the vote informal.  Counters make first preference piles.  Least popular goes out and whoever voted for him/her, those voters’ second prefs see their ballot paper placed on the indicated pile.  And so it proceeds, until there are are two in a simple run-off.

Downside?  Blue and red still end up the final two on the whole.

Proportional is Nigel’s preferred or, as he says in the YT, a hybrid of FPTP and PR.  As for continental systems, e.g. multiple run-offs … open to corruption … which is the next point.  As the US has shown, when even officials and the commission sre deeply corrupt, as they are here, no system will work properly.

To me, the worst aspect is the preselection process, whereby party faithful get to choose whom the candidate will be, hardly ever on merit and usually after the brass parachute someone in for nefarious reasons … the quality of our politicians is truly the pits.  

As for coronations of PMs … say no more.  PMs are so crucial for policy that they need the say of the electorate.  Then comes the little question of the abused Lords.  Of course, the WEF loves it as it is.

Don't Worry, By The Time An NHS Kitchen Has Got Hold Of It...

...it'll be unrecognisable as meat, let alone what type:

...the move has already been blasted by animal rights activists, who are saying the red meat should be ditched for vegetables and tofu.

Dawn Carr, the Director of Vegan Corporate projects at PETA, said: 'Serving vegan meals would also be a long-term cost-effective solution and better for the environment - just what the doctor ordered!'

These people are insane. Insane people always want to force their insane ideas on others, rather than just enjoying them in their own lives, don't they? 

James Aris, a spokesman for the Countryside Alliance said of the scheme: 'Venison is an incredibly sustainable meat and it should be rolled out across the public sector.

'The vast bulk of the UK population consumes meat, so it is only normal that public bodies reflect that with their menus and the food on offer.'

Bring it on! What's the alternative, send it all to landfill? How would that look, when pensioners are starving? 

 

No choice but to run this whole post

From Vox from a distance:

IMHO, these parents have seen it at close quarters

 This one’s tricky:

https://thylacosmilus.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-woke-parents-of-year-award-for-2022.html

Yyyeeessssss … my chin stroking is over the parents, not over Julia. In other words, they really are aiding and abetting it.  

What I’m pretty sure is behind their stance, quite apart from obvious grieving for the heinous crime, largely brought on by the French govt, just as ours are by successive UK govts … and quite possibly being the stoopid Wokists they seem, even to let her go to the shop alone in that neighbourhood … is that maybe they really have seen the depravity up close and they have to live in that neighbourhood … reprisals are a very real, extant threat from perceived savages.

A decade and a half ago, there was a post at another place, quoting an American on what was happening in Algeria, inc. openly named satanist ‘squads’ … this is no western construct … Algeria was a nasty, nasty place to live.  Hence they came over to France to escape it but sufficient baddies slipped in as well to continue the terrorising. I’ll not link to the post for blog safety reasons but:

And the killings were really sick too: slit throats, people burnt alive, mass rapes and various farm tools used in nasty ways. Real Khmer Rouge stuff, killing people with hoes to save bullets and make it as slow and bloody as possible.

You'd think the TV news types would like that. But they never show anything from Algeria. I've been wondering why that is, and I've come up with three reasons.

First, it's too real. Too dangerous. You could see how scared TV reporters were during the Gulf War, even though everybody with any sense knew Saddam's crappy army couldn't beat an egg, let alone America.

So these CNN stars love going on location to places like Northern Ireland, where they can wear bulletproof vests and look brave without any real chance they'll get hurt.

And so on.  A revelation, like Darfur and Rwanda.  Another bit which I’ll need to self-censor:

Sounds like a biker gang, but these guys make the Hell's Angels look like a book club. They started out as GIA fighters, but they got so messed up by what they'd seen and done that they decided there must not be a God at all.

They turned into Isl**ic S*t*nists and went around trying to find newer and sicker ways to kill people as a way of making S*t*n happy. So they were doing the same sick stuff as ever, but in S*tan's name instead of [peace be upon him]'s.

And here’s where I drop into cold seething over stoopid westerners.  The fake MSM, such as Newsmax … what’s it do?  The instant Lara Logan mentions it … and look at her former job … war zone reporter at ground level … who’d know more about this … Gary and Lara … or some Newsmax high up?

Well that could have two different answers.  Firstly, of course … G and L.  But there’s a second, diametrically opposite answer … these high ups know full well, in a Fauci and Gates way … and are part of the wider show.

And these Algerian psychos among the others … France brings them in in droves and settles them in France? Macron gets to the parents and shows them the consequences of opposing the influx?

Meanwhile, the psychos continue their havoc, largely unchecked

What would be the three most destructive issues since 2020 for the west, each the result of careful planning from long before?

Certainly the climate agenda, when everything from Mann’s hockey stick through UN Agenda 21 to the uselessness of EVneeding coal and other fuelling to the mania with which those running the west are pushing the indefensible.

Tied in with that is digital currency, sudden failures of food crops as processing plants mysteriously burn down and Rutte in the Netherlands sends troops to close farms over dangerous nitrogen in the soil … and so the loonery goes on.

The third has been the most immediate of these to most in the west and that’s the whole covid, mask, lockdown and deathjab or clotshot thing, known to be bollox since 2005 (Fauci), to have been planned since October 2019 (Johns Hopkins) and the rest we all know out there, particularly refuseniks … still being kept out of employment and refused services.

And in this country, the spinoffs are the collapse in trust in the NHS for one.  Dr. Elizabeth Evans:

Aside from lobbying for changes in Covid polices, a key purpose of the 50-plus open letters that the U.K. Medical Freedom Alliance has written to Government, regulators, decision-makers and individuals over the last two and a half years has been to create a paper trail of accountability.

When the day of reckoning eventually arrives, these publicly published and dated letters provide evidence that those making and implementing destructive and unethical policies cannot claim that they were unaware of the potential harms of their actions.

Add to this the recent development, in Boston, of a new virus supposed to kill 80% this time, rather than the ‘poor’ results from those before, e.g. OMGon, plus far more on social media about all sorts of abuses in hospitals.

Or this in America:

CDC Triggers Child Murder: Vax Mandates To Force Never ending Untested Dangerous C19 Shots

Cardiologist Risks EVERYTHING To Warn Americans About mRNA Vax

Two ladies who have been stomped on of late and are increasingly impossible to stomp on are Lara Logan and Kari Lake.  Yes, it certainly helps that they’re so photogenic but it’s also their CVs/resumes - the first a worldwide reporter sexually attacked in Egypt, now dumped by Newsmax, the second deep inside the media itself for thirty years, who knows all the tricks and is now turning them on the fake media itself.

I watched part of a CNN report where the two talking heads, the set, the music, were so ‘authoritative’, that’s the best word perhaps, where things already exploded were delivered with the utmost solemnity to ‘the people’ to the point where, were that your only media exposure at home, at work, in doctors’ and dentists’ waiting rooms, you’d of course form views based on that.

Meanwhile, in London:

You Spelled 'Ethnics' Wrong...

...well, it is the dear old 'Grauniad', I suppose.

The culture minister of Nigeria...

Ha ha ha ha ha! Wait, they really have one of those..? 

...has urged the British Museum to follow the example of the Smithsonian Institution, which on Tuesday returned ownership of 29 Benin bronzes to Nigeria at a celebratory event in Washington.

Why? Reminds me of my mum's favourite saying from mt childhood: 'Well, if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you too?' 

“I told them the last time I was in London: it’s not if, it’s when. They will eventually have to return these because the campaign is gaining strength by the day and, when they look at what other museums are doing, they will be compelled to return them.”

Isn't it about time some of these institutions grew a backbone and started saying 'No' and meaning it? 

The Durham Hospital which killed my Jacqueline, and then lied about their actions and promises

These words are those used in my YouTube video, with the same Header title.

A friend has remarked that I should perhaps now leave this alone. Would You?

A libellous statement is one where a person knowingly writes or publishes anything which is defamatory of another person or organisation. The ONLY defence against an action for Libel is for the publisher to state and show that every word written or spoken is true.

This is not a story; the events spoken and written really happened: to my wife Jacqueline, to me, her husband: but it has also happened to many within the orbit of the Durham City University Hospital. The hospital claimed to have altered its practices in line with a Court of Appeal decision regarding Resuscitation arrangements back in 2014: but, as I believe I have proven; ‘once a liar; always a liar’.

Jacqueline, my wife of some fifty-three years marriage, was admitted to the Orthopaedic Ward of the University Hospital of North Durham on Friday, May 7th, 2021 for an operation to repair a fractured hip. I was warned that there were risks in the operation, because of my wife’s frailty with specific mention of the anaesthesia; and worries that she might not survive the shock of that anaesthetic, and I freely accepted that, although there were risks, those risks were fully justified. I was not warned by that young female doctor, standing by my wife’s transfer trolley, that there would be a second set of medical professionals studying my wife’s very life signs, to decide, by their standards, their statistical surveys and charts: if she lived, or died.

Not just the kids but of course the elderly too

Leaving aside for now the complete takeover of the British govt yesterday by Remoaner, referendum breaking, globo, crony, warmongerers:

... and glancing across the pond, we see blatant ignoring of the concerns of people ranging from doctors to nurses to citizens by official political bodies, summed up by this lady whose background is 'ground level' America outside the super Wokery hubs:

https://nobodysopinion.org/2022/10/19/nobody-wins-fight-for-your-children/

They are going full force after the kids. The Covid lockdowns put our kids years behind other countries, and the new ‘diversity’ stuff leaves no room for the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. They give black kids free tuitions to colleges and most have the education of the 7th grade. They have to retake the courses in local colleges, and many of them do not graduate because they can’t. 

Now…the Government is trying to MANDATE that all kids have to be COVID vaccinated in order to attend schools. Many will die from those shots.

Not 'trying', Joyanna, they have done so ... 15 nil.  Worldwide concern, not just in America. A glance at Ardern in NZ that she was the single source of truth on Covid ... well it defies reason.  The term 'totalitarian' has been mentioned by many pundits, i.e. ignoring the will of most people.

And of course it must not stand.  But how to reverse it?

And lastly, something I ponder ... which demographics have been the most compliant with govt narrative?  Kids and the elderly.  So why are they going after these two to kill off asap?

Well, finally some UK politics worth writing about

Firstly, the fun bit ... the rough house corridor tactics:

https://order-order.com/2022/10/19/bryant-demands-investigation-into-bullying-in-the-voting-lobbies/

The Americans are onto the night's doings:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/amid-reshuffle-uk-conservatives-accuse-jeremy-hunt-globalist-coup

And of course, the fracking confidence vote:

https://order-order.com/2022/10/19/sketch-frack-sack-or-back-debate-yes-to-all-three/

I presume Boris is off bonking Princess Nut Nut in the Bahamas, not all that keen to return to the helm.

So, summing it up, we the unrepresented anti-globo, anti-woke need another movement. One leader's not all that en-Tice-ing but Nige stepping back in the ring might stir things up.

They have the colouring not quite right yet ... less blue and more teal methinks:

Doesn't She Have An Equally Strong Case Against Her Mother...?

A human rights lawyer who was groomed, raped and made pregnant at 14 by her mother's boyfriend has received a payout by her former school after claiming staff failed to protect her.

Her case against the college, which charges fees of up to £35,000 a year, surrounded the belief that if staff had fulfilled their safeguarding responsibilities, she could have been spared months of abuse.

Or does mummy not have such deep pockets?

In 2020 insurers for Ellesmere College settled out of court and paid Miss Fawcett a sum without an admission of liability.

Thought so...

Shakespeare was right, wasn't he?

Evenhanded dispensation of justice?

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/familys-message-men-after-dad-25284123

The family of a man murdered by his girlfriend urged other men to come forward if they are suffering from domestic violence.

Emma Walsh was jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years for the murder of her partner Gary Morgan. Walsh knifed the 36-year-old to death at her home on Lavan Close in Everton on the evening of April 10 this year.

On Friday last week, she was unanimously convicted of murder by a jury after only one hour and 37 minutes of deliberations. The 31-year-old was sentenced today at Liverpool Crown Court, where she sat turned away from the public gallery at all times during the hearing.

There’s a lot more to this in the broader sense.  Yes, the initial surprise is the 18 years, rather than the usual 3 months when it’s female, or released on compassionate grounds because it has  womanly bits and gushes tears … though the ‘womanly bits’ are not a given these days.

I plead guilty to enabling such behaviour in my personal case. She was physical in every way, positively I mean, but so was I and during this attack or that by her, five percent of the time, the other ninety-five percent happy or sullen, a full nelson usually calmed things after a while. Obviously I should have cut all ties and gone my own way but I didn’t and any male inside a female’s orbit knows why. In fact, in a way, it was quite cute and she never threw crockery, to her credit, it was always direct.

Most of the time though, I’d just walk out, literally, for twenty minutes (don’t sleep in the subway, darling … Petulia knew the game) … mainly so I would not overdo it and once when I got back, the place was trashed in the sense that she’d carefully placed piles of books and papers creatively around on the rug, while she went to her mother’s for the night. And it was her mother too. The physical clinch was usually the better way.

Right, so what to make of female behaviour? Well, we could start with estrogen, then touch on the old chivalry and it is relevant because I don’t know a man who has physically got stuck into a woman … I mean, that would be cowardly, wouldn’t it, one just didn’t, one restrained her and soothed with words … different matter though with another male and most males I knew … well we just didn’t go physical either, unlike meatheads, we kept a respectful physical distance and just had a laugh about whatever. What’s the point of M.A.D.?  Lunacy.

And there are our double standards, I quite admit it.  In my mind, the gals have their strengths, very real strengths, we have ours, the rest is common to both. To my mind, this stabbed man in this tale was a bit wimpy, truth be told and that’s just red rag to a female bull in her case, as this Walsh has now discovered the consequences of.

Treat men and women alike?  In the eyes of the law, yes, plus rich and poor, indigenous and invader.  But on a one-to-one level … come on … you know very well what she radiates, you know her spell, and any gal uses such as one of her weapons.  Why not?

Which does not answer the question of consequences of actions in general between any two parties. There must be fair, simply stated laws, no-discretion consequences in sentencing, everyone in the society knowing what will happen.  Plus evenhanded judges, male or female.

Ah, but how to achieve that?

Don't They Have Google In Canada..?

Ms White, who originates from Canada but has lived in east London for the past ten years added: 'I'm Jewish and the swastika is racist and anti-Semitic. I don't understand why the hotel have got it there and their explanation is offensive.'

 Unfortunately for you, snowflake, it's also completely accurate: 

After contacting the hotel on her behalf, she was told by Booking.com that the swastika in the Plough Inn bathroom is the one associated with Indian culture and not Nazism.

Despite its links with Hitler's regime, the swastika is originally a sacred symbol in Hinduism and a common sight in homes and temples around India.

Good job you never took a Tube out to Upminster, you'd be too horrified to get off!

But Ms White insisted: 'I appreciate the cultural significance of the swastika but regardless of this, we are not in India. This is in a hotel in Norfolk where it has completely different connotations.

'The hotel's reasons for having a swastika are just nonsense. They can't claim ignorance-everybody knows what it stands for. It should be removed immediately but they are so unapologetic about it. For me, this is active racism.'

But they aren't claiming ignorance at all. You, however, are showing plenty of it.

Not just what did they know but when did they know it?

My initial cynical thought was ‘just another piece to fill the column inches’.  After all, readers expect something significant to keep the reassurance going that we do see what’s wrong and are calling it out.

Then I saw this:

We are – we are constantly being told – living in ‘unprecedented times’, facing ‘unprecedented circumstances’ requiring ‘unprecedented measures’ for which there is no historical precedent and because of which – is the unstated implication – those in power cannot be held to account for the consequences of their actions. ‘Unprecedented’, however, is one of those words that should set alarm-bells ringing, implying, as it does, that we are in a moment about which history can teach us nothing. 

History tells us that we should always be suspicious when those in power start claiming we are in a moment about which history can tell us nothing. The call to forget the past is always made in the service of power; but there are very few things that history cannot teach us. Once upon a time, we studied history precisely in order to learn from it, rather than stumbling around without memory in the apparently unprecedented newness of the present. 

Whether that present is a product of ignorance or deceit, the past inevitably has a lot to tell us about supposedly ‘unprecedented’ moments, and so it is with the coronavirus ‘crisis’.

Absolutely.  Over at Gab, there are constant reminders of just what, for example, the Danchenko trial in the States really signifies.

The Govt and the BofE

Dearieme wrote, in comments:

I don't like the sound of a Bank of England coup against the government. We get to vote for parliament every five years and we don't get a vote on the BoE. Is this some anti-Brexit dirty work?

On the strength of that and various comments, I promised to post a sane take on the heading on Saturday.

I simply can’t, there seems nothing sane going on in the UK govt. Possibly connected, possibly not, are the millions to prop the Swiss up, everyone but Britain:

https://voxday.net/2022/10/12/this-is-fine/

Guido a few days back:

The Sun broke the news that Truss “is considering raising Corporation Tax next year in spectacular mini-Budget U-turn”. 

Kwasi, meanwhile, is over in the States to meet IMF chiefs. Channel 4 doorstepped him on his way in, where he said “I’ll be coming out with a statement on 31st October and I’m not going to pre-empt that.”

Well, we’re past that now. Ian J:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/uks-truss-announce-major-u-turn-ditch-tax-cut

Loyalty? backstabbing? What an example of 'leadership' (or do I mean responses to string-pulling). After reading the ZH account of Truss' duplicity, I saw this:

The Price Of Failure...

Her son, a retired telecommunications engineer, has now received an apology and £1,000 in damages after taking Barnsley Council to court.

You might think that's a pitiful sum for hanging up on your dying elderly mother who had pressed the button she thought would bring help when she needed it... 

Outside court, Mr Belk said: ‘It was never about the money, it was about trying to get justice for my mother and get an apology from the council.

‘It was a shoddy service. The call operator should have called myself and an ambulance the second she realised my mother was unable to speak up. My mother would have been expecting help, having pressed her red button.

‘Lying on the floor in agony was a horrible thing for her to have to endure in the last few hours of her life.’

If you consider you've had justice, good for you. Me? If that was my mother they'd treated that way, I'd prefer somthing a little more...Biblical.  

Mosquitoes: and Dresden

I would like to cast readers’ memories, or minds if the reader is younger than seventy years old, to the afternoon of September 7th, 1940. For this was the day that the Blitz began. The Blitz began at about 4:00 in the afternoon on September 7, 1940, when German planes appeared over London. For two hours, 348 German bombers and 617 fighters targeted the city, dropping high-explosive bombs as well as incendiary devices. Later, guided by the raging fires caused by the first attack, a second group of planes began another assault that lasted until 4:30 the following morning. In just these few hours, 430 people were killed and 1,600 were badly injured. 

The first day of the Blitz is remembered as Black Saturday.

Beginning on Black Saturday, London was attacked on 57 straight nights. Between Black Saturday and December 2, there was no 24-hour period without at least one “alert”—as the alarms came to be called—and generally far more. Nine were registered on three separate occasions, and from the start of the Blitz until November 30 there were more than 350 alerts. 

The nights of November 3 and 28 were the only occasions during this period in which London’s peace was unbroken by siren or bomb. After the first week of September, although night bombing on a large scale continued, the large mass attacks by day, which had proved so costly to the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, were replaced by smaller parties coming over in successive waves. On occasion, forces consisting of as many as 300 to 400 aircraft would cross the coast by day and split into small groups, and a few planes would succeed in penetrating London’s outer defences.

It always begins with the anomalies

This is post two of two, on Saturday I’ll be looking at Truss and the BofE. However, I need to write this disclaimer today.

In the same way that TCW (Kathy) and TDS (Toby) have writers from different angles and of different hues, so does OoL.  Just because Julia and I both write here, plus Grandpa, that does not assert universal uniformity of opinion.

However, there are common elements, inc. a general wish to be left alone to live our lives without govt micromanaging, plus being anti this Reset bollox, whether it be Net Zero or the dire state of the judiciary.

And one thing underpinning Julia’s writing, most consistently, is that she puts up some report and lets the anomalies in it sink in for the reader, with some annotation.  As for us across the way, we have a gang of deep sceptics who deep ferret and fisk, all unherdable cats and there are some consistent features which have always confronted us.

One is that there’s no consistent, complete and uniform narrative on our side … there are anomalies here, snippets there, which we note and store in folders.  After quite awhile, patterns emerge as you go through each folder, more often than not counter to the Official Narrative.

A few times in the US, vloggers have put together collages of talking heads across the networks and cable, all stating something in precisely the same words.  Nothing surprising in that, as agencies such as AP and Reuters put out syndicated feeds, relying on the cost cutting, laziness and inability to think of channels … so they avail themselves of the syndicated reality.

How long does it take?

It would be amusing seeing those still feet first in that river in Egypt … amusing, that is, were it not so dire.  Death from the wrong treatment, for example, for thousands upon thousands, whilst another efficacious remedy was at hand … that strays into criminal territory.  Nurses and doctors losing their livelihoods … yeah, really amusing.

And the climate bollox?  Carbon targets ignored by the jeterati?

Then there is the treatment of the unvaxxed for three years by a sea of karens, mocking in their pig ignorance … the ignorati at large.  We are not in the least amused.  But the least amusing thing of all is the painstaking gathering by people who have taken the effing time to explore, just airily dismissed, ‘Don’t tell me you believe in that!’  If the evidence points that way, yes, only a lazy fool does not at least heed it and further explore. If it doesn’t hold up, then at least you’ve taken the effing time to go through it, not dismissive lip service.

Here are some examples from the last few years:

University Isn't For Everyone...

The mother of a University of Exeter student believed to have killed himself after a “disastrous” set of exam results has accused academics of failing to make her son feel like he was “wanted”.

*sighs* Here we go again... 

Less than a month before his death last year, Harry Armstrong Evans, 21, told his tutor in an email that isolation during the pandemic had affected his mental health and his performance in his third-year physics and astrophysics exams. But neither academic staff nor the welfare team spoke to the student face-to-face after the email and his mother, Alice, told the inquest into his death on Thursday that her son had not understood he could do re-takes or repeat his final year.

Surely a 21 year old should be expected to do something for himself? It's infants that need spoonfeeding, isn't it? 

Addressing the head of the department, Tim Harries, she said academics should have done more to help her son, who had performed well until then. She said: “You should have contacted Harry and said: ‘What’s going on here?’

We were so thrilled he was going to Exeter. We didn’t expect Harry to take his life. It was definitely as a result of these exams.”

Sure, it couldn't possibly be anything else. Anything closer to home. Could it? 

A group of parents, including the mother and father of Natasha Abrahart, a University of Bristol physics undergraduate who had severe social anxiety and killed herself a day before she was due to give a “terrifying” oral exam, called for the government to introduce new laws to protect students.

Good grief! No good can come from mollycoddling adults as if they were children, yet we seem hell-bent on it, don't we?

Wake up and smell the coffee

We’ve heard the saying that the large nations are gangsters and the small nations whores.  Look at the US, Russia, China … look at The Ukraine … vot/voila/there you are.

We also know that there’s a massive, all-in reset going on, hurtling towards a One World horror, with an elite cabal running a drastically reduced world of serfs, achieved by completely indecent, inhuman means.

Very few of us believe when the ancient scripture says that only one metaphysical power has the remotest chance of stopping this, mainly because every reaction is factored in, from the human ‘save my family and myself’ instinct to the unherdability of the resulting introspective human.

Just why do you really think this Jesus of Nazareth character pushed the altruistic ‘love thy neighbour thing’ so hard … where everything was directed towards two ends … acknowledging a Maker plus helping thy neighbour in need?

Has it struck anyone that this is a highly political move, as well as religious/spiritual?

Why are Them … the cabalist, Masonic rulers of the darkness of the world so hellbent on wrecking families, promoting rampant abortion, removing any human conscience and morality towards one another?  Producing a world of Warlock and Eloi?  Whichever angle you come from, the direction turns out the same.

Look at the fierce attack on national identity, on ‘populism’ … reader/commenter Ian J:

Monster girls

There are two kinds of monster girls in my experience.  We see all manner of monster yoofs from the imports to the ne’er do wells but most people are on their guard against the type.  There’s one downstairs from me now.

Monster girls though are something very difficult for many, especially older folk, to comprehend, especially so many men who see just prettiness. It’s not unlike WTC7 … there’s absolutely no way they’d plant explosives.  Or doctors/nurses deliberately giving Rems plus intubation, when Ivor has been known about for quite a while.  The word is being used across the soc-med west right now … genocide, like G*t*s in India.

When Will A UK Politician Show The Same Backbone On Behalf Of The People Cull?

Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has called a general election for 1 November after a member of her ruling coalition threatened to withdraw its support over her handling of the country’s controversial Covid mass mink cull.

Gosh! Mink are cute and make great coats. Do they rate higher than people, though? 

Frederiksen’s popularity has slipped after the government’s 2020 decision to cull Denmark’s entire captive mink population of 15 million for fear of a Covid-19 mutation moving from the animals to humans that could jeopardise future vaccines.

A parliament-appointed commission said in June that the government had lacked legal justification for the cull and made “grossly misleading” statements when it ordered Europe’s first compulsory shutdown of an entire farm sector.

Sounds familiar. Maybe we should all identify as mink, and maybe then our government could be brought to book for their actions during lockdown? 

As interesting as having the death jab

Desperately trying to find anything remotely interesting in British politics this weekend but I have to post something I suppose to keep faith, so this is as close as I can get:

Bardirect:

Given that Damian Collins is the relevant Minister now promoting the Online Safety Bill which contains ideas about Online Harms he promoted since 2017 as Head of the DCSM Select Committee and additionally as Chair of the Joint Parliamentary Committee looking into the Bill, in particular deeming vax conspiracy content as harmful (ironic when he a big subscriber to the conspiracy about Russian election interference which the Info Commission said there was no evidence to support) drawing the inference that this Bill it is being scuttled seems to be the wrong inference. I would expect him to resign if his baby was being thrown out.

BSdetector comments on that:

A very dangerous creature. He shouldn't be anywhere near anything relating to openness and freedom of speech. His biases are so evident.

Krankie the Krazie is supposedly stirring things up. Here she is with a typically Celtic primary school:

It'd Take A Heart Of Stone, Wouldn't It?

A man was shot dead when his friend accidentally opened fire with a submachine gun as they prepared to go on a 'ride-out' attack, a court has heard.

Mohamed Muhyidin, 28, was found in a ditch near Heathrow Airport with a single gunshot wound to the back on the morning of October 31 last year around an hour after he was allegedly killed by Chiragh Amir Chiragh, 39.

Prosecutors say they were about to embark on a 'ride-out' in a Toyota Prius to attack unknown targets when Chiragh shot his friend in the back with an Agram 2002 submachine gun fitted with a silencer.

Ooopsie!  

Oh, hello again!

Chiragh, from Kenton, north-west London, Shakeel, from Barking, east London, and Ahmed, from Hounslow, west London, deny manslaughter, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and an alternative count of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

From where...?  

Failsafe code

The immediate thing which struck me was her eyes ... the turmoil behind them, a vast wrongness born of wrong choices all the way from childhood on ... and she's now 32, still flirting with other women's men? 

Any one of us could write a book about all that's gone wrong with western society, from importing huge numbers from alien cultures to breaking with our roots in the worst way possible ... but I'm going to keep it for now to this awkward expression ... failsafe code. Couldn't think how else to put it.

Essentially what I'm getting at is that you might be a saint but I ain't, my past is a bit chequered. I mean, we all have failings ... men look at porn, football 'firms' slash each other after matches, naughty people have assignations, the language gets very Derek and Clive ... we've done things we'd not want our parents to know about.

All that's par for the course I'd suggest but there are still the vestiges of some sort of code.  Look at the film In Bruges where Ralph Fiennes was honour bound to take out someone who'd taken out a child, accidentally, while shooting a priest. The landlady in the Bruges B&B said to them both, "You guys are crazy."

The Godfather and in Russia it was the same ... bad things being done but a code, a failsafe, stopped them going any further.  Children were offlimits for a start ... someone's daughter ... and there were things you just did not do, you never crossed that final line. That old expression 'honour among thieves' cut in at crucial times.

But that 'failsafe code' has gone now.  Have you read any William S. Burroughs?  The Wild Boys?  Also Kiefer Sutherland's film The Lost Boys (1987)?  There's a line of ... what ... innate decency perhaps ... that most of us in the west just don't drop below, even if we cheat and covert and all the rest.

I'm suggesting it's gone, that line.  Taught neither at home nor school anymore, the kids grow up feckless and without values, a huge moral vacuum in their souls.  Darth Vader was not like that ... there was a limit, was there not?  A red line.

But imagine a society of zero red lines.  Boyfriend offends, as in Liverpool right now with Emily Walsh I think she is named, so you plunge a knife through his heart in yet another fractious minor disagreement.

I'm suggesting this also comes out of world culture as they call it ... gaming is one place where no rules apply (take me apart, Julia).  Ok ... Slenderman ... look it up ... more killings girl on girl.

You're waiting for me to drop in the bit about the absence of the Christian code of conduct no kid knows of these days but I'm not going to run with that just now.  Everyone is in his or her entrenched camp on that issue, so it's not going to get us far.

Instead, let me come back to the situation where it's unsafe for any female or old person to be alone out there on the street and that's two things ... certain ethnicities with no moral constraints, plus our own caucasians seem to have lost all reason, as in Miss Prosser in the photo.  And yet, this is a time when females have never been more independent, defiantly so, whilst at the same time being the least mentally equipped ... such as maniacal SJW treehuggers.  What could possibly go wrong?

And at precisely the same time, the State is trying to ratchet this "all your children are us" ideology.

Does anyone see the slightest risk for society when the old failsafes no longer apply? Where gallant men will no longer come to the rescue of a girl, they'll just let the ethnics rape and kill her?  Wither feminazism now, Woke SJWs?

We haven't even started on the vaxxed and unvaxxed.

Climate

 Sometimes there's no need to add to something:

Are All Labour Councillors Thick As Mince..?

...or is it just this one? 

She was immediately - and beautifully - taken to task by Twitter users. But the breathtaking idiocy of tweeting something like this about people caught in the act astonishes me. 

The immediate assumption that 'racism' drove this, as it it would ever be racist to object to this sort of disregard for our surroundings, as if people wouldn't somehow be as angry if the people doing it were a different race. 

Extreme moderation

This was an idea in words I played around with decades ago and rather than it fading away, it’s been reinforced and further reinforced.  Another way to put it is a chap is asked about his political stance.

“Moderation,” he replies, “extremely so.”

Still doesn’t convey it, not fully.  The idea is he holds what are or once were, fairly conventional notions of God, family, job, home, family, friendships, bonhomie and conviviality, working hard, earning, putting aside a nest egg, nothing held to the point of fanaticism, fairly easygoing on such things.

But … the moment these are attacked, in an organised way, with a view to destroying them, he becomes ‘radical’, meaning ‘back to the roots’.  In short, he holds moderate views … extremely strongly, plus his once reasonable tone and even his language become more and more extreme in now having to defend moderate positions.

Thus:

Andrew Devine is a seemingly conventional chap who chooses a fairly centrist blog to write his centrist view on.  He’s done the same thing … become polarised, is taking increasingly radical view of it all in opposition to true fanatical, insane extremism on the far left.

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/im-coming-out-as-a-far-right-extremist/

What’s sad is that many of those who might have been called left-liberal or that wishy-washy oxymoron “democratic socialist” or even LibDem in the UK are dragged ever leftward and never forget the Latin for that is “sinister”.

Andrew writes:

However, over the past decade or so, the predominantly left-leaning media and their woke activist allies are constantly warning us of the ever increasing threat from the ‘far right’. This baffled me until I realised they were actually talking about me and lots of other ordinary people, or ‘deplorables’ as Hillary Clinton would call us. The terms ‘far right’ and ‘fascism’ no longer mean what they once did, having been completely reinvented by those who champion both globalism and woke progressivism. You can be deemed far right or fascist for holding certain political or social views that almost everyone apart from a small number on the outer fringes of the political spectrum held until relatively recently.

Yes.  If you examine my political views point by point … small govt, low tax, strong national defence, family, home, job/career, men being men, women being women and so on … which of these are in any way extreme?

Yet I’m divisive and unpleasant.  How?  For vehemently and scathingly holding to these positions.  Interesting.  Same goes for many of our mates and mate-esses.  To the increasingly far left sweeping all formerly left of centre towards them like a giant vacuum cleaner, we deplorables are far right maniacs.

WEF … the way, the truth and the life?

This starts with Rep Thomas Massie:

… which in turn is reprised in our sidebar with Linus … which in turn is a reaction to this:

… which is shown here:

… which brings us to these WEF Young Global Leaders, a new diabolical legion infiltrating every major institution.  

Naming just a couple here from a different branch of the same poisoned tree, Common Purpose … Julia Middleton during ‘sell the gold’ Gordo’s days, emanating like a bad smell from the ODPM … plus … take your pick … how about Cressida Dick, of Brazilian electrician infamy?

This search for “leadership”, from the Bilderbergers was commented on by Etienne Davignon in Davos around 2007:

Additionally, [the journalist] says, "all the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed." Davignon's response: He and his colleagues are "excellent talent spotters."

From 2008/9, Julia Middleton chaired a meeting of the Scottish Arts Council a gathering of fifteen movers and shakers in “The Arts World” and one, an artist, questioned why The Arts needed organising by her anyway.  She invited the others to scoff at his lack of cooperation on the matter.  How else do they hope to be funded?

Disquietening but there was more with the NPCC and Mann’s climate hockey stick.  And recently:

“Dismiss anything else. We will continue to be your single source of truth.“
– Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand

When I first clicked on the video of Jacinda Ardern saying those words that is embedded in this tweet from “Darren of Plymouth” via Not the Bee, I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. All of us sometimes say things that “come out wrong”. By “single source of truth” I thought she might have meant no more than “convenient one-stop place you can go to get truthful information”. Apparently there is a concept in information systems design that goes by the name “Single Source of Truth (SSoT)”; perhaps she had picked up this piece of jargon somewhere.

However I only had to wait until 1:02 in the video to see Ms Ardern demonstrate that she meant it exactly the way it sounded:

“When you see those messages, remember that unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.”

Case rests, methinks.
