"And once again I ask, what made you think there'd be a living in sheep?"

While most upland farmers still keep sheep on their land, the changes here have been mirrored across not just the Dales but the entire British farming industry. The shepherd's life has never been an easy one, but for many it's getting tougher and more difficult than ever to make a profit.People who work sheep know that it's some of the hardest farming there is. A former shepherd once told me that sheep are only ever trying to do one of three things: "Escape, or die, or escape and then immediately die."

Mark Knopfler put it better, frankly: 

.
Globally, lamb consumption is expected to grow by 15% between now and 2032, according to a report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Food and Agriculture Organization. But changing tastes in the UK mean mutton, made from mature sheep, is no longer eaten in the same volume it was by previous generations and lamb has seemingly gone from a weekly staple to a meat more often eaten on special occasions, with "white meat" like chicken being increasingly chosen over lamb and beef.

And that't a pity, becase large parts of the country are suitable for nothing else and have, in fact been shaped by centuries of upland sheep farming. Of course, there are always those so shortsighted or blinded by spite they can applaud this:

Extremely tight margins mean growing numbers of younger people can't see a future in farming.And some welcome the decline in sheep farming. "Fewer sheep means less suffering […] a sheep's life in the wool and mutton industries belies our reputation as a nation of animal lovers," says Mimi Bekhechi, senior vice president at the UK's People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta).

But trust the BBC to see a posssible upide, thanks to their imported pets: 

But there is a ray of sunshine for the industry, according to Phil Stocker from the National Sheep Association. He believes the domestic market for sheep meat is going to keep driving forward, in large part thanks to demand from the increasing number of Muslim people in the UK.
.Sheep or Muslims, what a dilemma.

Issues of ethnicity

... which really do need sorting. This is an expanded version of yesterday's post at UHC, with added confusion.  First, some screenshots:





Let's sort "Britishness" first.  In one sense, Mahmoud is right ... the UK is a political construct, whereas Briton, Celt, Anglo-Saxon, Dane ... they're ethnicities. Mahmoud claims to be part of Westminster's political construct and as far as that theatre goes, it's what the Whitehall and Westmibster clowns say.

However, certain invading ethnicities are predatory and destructive to the others, and that is the aspect so many do not want to face up to, even in the society's death throes.

There's a bizarre unreality going on here. I know some ladies who are dead against this invading cult or religion but it contains a few ethnicities ... that is, people from various nations who themselves were swamped in the past by the predatory cult.

Yet they staunchly stick with a party, under Farage-Yusuf et al which, along with LibLabConGreenFabianUniparty are determined to try to "coexist" with the destructive cult.

Why on earth?  Why?  It's a sort of middle-class "respectability", a sort of nicely-nicely "embracing of the alligator as it eats you".  It's not sane.  It's a sort of wishful thinking, a hoping against hope, with no plan to escape it.

It's an inability to face reality.

Disability Campaigners UNITE!

The fallout over Tourette syndrome (TS) activist John Davidson’s outbursts at the Baftas on Sunday continued after Jamie Foxx and Wendell Pierce expressed their dismay at the incident. Davidson attended the Baftas as I Swear, the film inspired by his life of dealing with hostility triggered by TS, was up for a number of awards. He was heard several times shouting during the ceremony, including using the N-word while actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan were on stage presenting the evening’s first prize.
A word they expect us to believe they've never heard in rap music or used themselves?
Foxx commented below a post about the incident on social media, saying, “Unacceptable” and “Nah he meant that shit”. Journalist Jemele Hill said on social media: “Black people are just supposed to be ok with being disrespected and dehumanised so that other people don’t feel bad”, and actor Wendell Pierce said: “It’s infuriating that the first reaction wasn’t complete and full throatted [sic] apologies to Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan. The insult to them takes priority. It doesn’t matter the reasoning for the racist slur.”

The black activists are going to be frothing about this for years to come, because they cannot stand the fact the Disability Card trumps the Race Card in this instance. 

Baftas host Alan Cumming made two announcements during the ceremony explaining the situation, saying: “Tourette syndrome is a disability, and the tics you’ve heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette syndrome has no control over their language. We apologise if you are offended tonight.”

It wasn't enough. It will never be enough.

YMCA

Talk about ready-made blogpost ... first cabs in the morning queue usually come from the Antipodes evening or the North American previous evening ... most Brits and French are asleep.

There was a message from an Alabama friend, Toodles, who'd been reading unherdables' researcher IYE's thing on Donny and the song YMCA, which Iranian women have taken up en masse ... I like it.

Toods wrote:

James, I read the link IYE sent about Trump. Read the comments too. I have no idea if T is ‘you know’…or not. Always assumed he was straight. Never really thought about him doing anything as I don’t naturally picture people doing that kind of thing…..straight or curved!

Several people said because he plays YMCA it indicates T is the gay.  

Well who can say? Never entered my mind.

One thing about that song. It could be true and a sign by him hinting he is…never thought about it. Or…it could be that during his first run for president it was one of the few songs he could play where the artist or owner of the song prohibited him from playing it.

The man who is gay who wrote and performed the song with his posse is a Democrat. Nonetheless he said he was glad to have his song played and getting out there.. by T. 

Now it could  be a ruse and them making fun of us, or it could be the guy doesn’t care if T team uses it.  One must admit, gay or not, T is hilarious half dancing to it and really quite adorable doing it. The song is catchy too! 

What it has to do with trying to be and then running for president is kind of strange, I must admit. 

That is all I  have to say about it.

I replied:

As for me, Toods, the fact that hetero is so normal, standard, natural ... well so is eating chocolate but when it goes to excess ... hmmmmm.  I don't mean doing anything bad like a Warren Beatty or Errol Flynn ... just when it comes so naturally ... one does wonder if there's such a thing as too normal?

Donny surrounds himself with women but is it too much? I was for a brief time taken to some upper class gay parties and stayed in the kitchen with three or so others, inc. women.  I never saw "it" going on ... maybe after we left and went home.

With me, think it was that childhood trauma which put me off males getting physically close, plus faith, plus there are some truly horrible women out there ... demonrats for example.

The song ... don't like the overtones but the sight of all those Persian women dancing, across their population ... it's funny.

No Need To Elaborate, We All Know What You Mean

Nigel Farage has reported allegations of "family voting" at the Gorton and Denton by-election to Greater Manchester Police and the Electoral Commission. The Reform UK leader is urging an investigation into reports by independent election observers of "extremely high" levels of family voting. Family voting is where a family member is seen to be influencing somebody else's vote, for example by entering the polling booth with them.

*sighs* We aren't talking about people in general, we are talking about a particular demographic who are known for this. The MSM will never admit it, of course.

The Electoral Commission said it took the claims "very seriously" and would "carefully consider" the report. A statement from the organisation, which oversees elections in the UK, said: "We are in close contact with the returning officer and Greater Manchester Police to speedily and carefully review the concerns that have been raised and all the information available." 
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: "We can confirm a report has been made. We are in the process of reviewing this report and will provide a further update in due course."

We all know that this isn't likely to prove fruitful too, don't we? After all, this was a concern even before polling cards were distributed, and instead of cracking down to ensure compliance with UK electoral regulations, the authorities did the usual thing of bending over backwards to accommodate their imported diversity:.

The danger in depersonalising your online outlet

Paraphrasing the words of the legendary Don McLean:

A long, long time ago 
I can still remember how that lifestyle used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance 
That I could let those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every blogpost I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step...

Awoke at 0523 this morning and there was, in the inbox, a message from the Gulf of America, a quick look at X saw Amelia following me and I followed back, there was the subject of this post after that ... yet another govt minister resigning but then a Ggl Blgr panel said that I could not load a picture of all that unless I enabled cookies, which I had done.

Censorship is certainly what they'd like to have us accept as "normal" today ... and that leads to my next point, in the words of the legendary blogger Tom Paine ... that I, Jimbo, do tend to blog in a highly personalised manner, don't I?

Yes Tom, I do, because we're dealing with other humans, friendly, hostile or indifferent, coz it's better to keep things human to human, even though we use tech to reach one another.

Interestingly for me at least, a glance at Tom's link shows he very much writes now in a personalised way, I still do too but ... at UHC across the way, our subject matter is very much a news channel, with features thrown in to break the horror, shifting as much worldwide news as possible into as few column inches as possible ... a quite depersonalised way to blog.  Julia and Grandpa have their styles ... so does DAD, which brings me to monikers.

I am not remotely interested in tracking you ... I couldn't anyway with Ggl Blgr's newish comment system ... but I do ask, if you choose Anon or Unknown, that you humanise your comment to the point where we at least have some invented name to respond to in comments, that you are not a bot in other words.

Eventually, we do all come back to humans of good intent, versus spam, bots and trolls. We'd like to think we're dealing with someone adding to the info on the table, whether or not we agree on one particular point or another.

However, Wokery is right out, meaning the brainwashed.  Let me illustrate. There are people on X who are dyed-in-the-wool Reformers, whereas I'm a Restorer now ... what a bunfight before Gorton and Denton ... yet we still follow one another, even if deeply disagreeing over maybe 20% of what's going on.

In other words ... civil discussion, not hostile trollery.  Every site, every platform, needs to sort that question out.  Civil.  Civilised.

Did not read the fine print

Lord Toby's site has a writer reporting on a Telegraph report.

The Telegraph has the story.

The Green Party may be jubilant about its triumph in Gorton and Denton, but some voters are already expressing buyers’ remorse. Waqas Khan, 40, owns Al-Mecca Butchers on Stockport Road, where a “Vote Green” poster hangs in the shop window. He has lived in the constituency for almost 20 years. He and his family had previously been lifelong Labour voters, but all switched to the Greens on Thursday.

Until informed by the Telegraph, however, Khan was unaware of the Greens’ plans to legalise drugs and prostitution and to remove restrictions on pornography. “I checked the manifesto before, but I didn’t see that. It seems they hid those policies,” he says.

That's an interesting sidelight, except The Telegraph is behind a paywall, as are many articles at TDS itself.

Moving on, my dad was a builder and painter, fought in the war, North African shore, my mother was a nurse and eventually housekeeper but every spare penny was spent on a son who'd go on to throw around rugby balls on playing fields, study Latin and be in debating societies, for a bit of fun building in timber ... dwellings, fences, boats etc.

Which class was I?

There was also the little matter of constant travel over the decades, to the point I'm weary wi'it now.  Developed a taste for all-weather sailing and cricket.  Point is, whichever demographic I was with at the time, comfortably, I was never fully accepted by any demographic at all. Iffy accent which was sort of RP with southern hemisphere undertones ... my lineage goes back to either the Danes (Deira), Ethelred or Irish worker ... that side of t'family were southern but apparently went Ulster later and changed the surname to a more anglicised spelling.

So I'm bemused by those claiming to be "English" or "British" but there's no heritage in'em from these isles whatever.  I suspect that that's what did for Advance's "local man" in G&D (Little Pakistan so it now seems).

Also amusing (to me) is a lady from Suffolk and I, friends, mutual followers on X, who agree on maybe 80% of policies ... except she's comfortable, "herbaceous borders" loving, I'm north-eastern, displaced to the north-west for now, she's exactly the dyed-in-the-wool Reform advocate, blissfully unaware of its politburo, whilst as of last evening, I'm dyed-in-the-wool Restore (or johnnycomelately, whatever) ... what confirmed my shift further towards them being that the Electoral Commission, according to Mrs. Suffolk, has supposedly refused Rupert's application to become an official party, nasty "racist" man.

Civil war on the horizon? Devoutly hoped for by globopsychopaedo and they may get their wish, if the issue is not swamped by the one about to kick off in Persia ... I've just quoted our Steve over at UHC on that question.

Whither Britain and Ireland, stalwarts of these sceptr'd aisles (sic)?

Fagin Goes Hi-Tech

Gangs are recruiting children to go out to steal smartphones before they head to school, using Snapchat to offer rewards of up to £380 for the latest Apple iPhones, police have revealed. The Metropolitan police said they were deploying new resources including drones and Surron ebikes to chase suspects as they step up their fight against phone snatching.

‘Gotta pick a pocket or two’ needs upgrading - today’s artful dodgers ride e-bikes and don’t fear the beadle… 

Gangs are using Snapchat to advertise a menu of cash rewards for different models of stolen mobile phones, enticing children as young as 14 on bikes to act as thieves.

Well, of course they do, what did you think would happen when youth offenders were treated leniently? 

Once phones are stolen, child thieves message a “handler” on Snapchat to arrange a drop-off. Bonuses of an extra £100 are offered if 10 or more stolen phones are handed over in one drop. In one recent case, police said a teenager was heading out on a bike early in the morning to attack commuters around a main London transport hub before heading to school.

If only he'd show that much enthusiasm for lessons... 

Rowley said the courts could do more to help by stopping bailing repeat offenders. In one recent case, police said a group of 12 youths were arrested and charged with phone thefts. The next day some were bailed, and within 24 hours of their arrest they were suspected of being back stealing phones.

Which is why no doubtr so many of your officers can't be bothered anymore. 

The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, said his administration was pumping in an extra £4.5m for a new command centre.

Which won't be a success because it'll be infested with the sort of people who have these attitudes:  

An ad for Transport for London’s new ‘Act Like a Friend’ campaign has been banned for reinforcing negative stereotypes about black men.The Facebook ad, part of the campaign that encourages people to intervene safely if they witness sexual harassment or hate crime on the TfL network, showed a black male verbally harassing a young girl accompanied by a white male friend, who sat down close to the victim ‘boxing her in’. A viewer complained that the ad was irresponsible, harmful and offensive for perpetuating negative racial stereotypes about black teenage boys.

Whats that TS Elliot line again? Oh yes. "Humankind cannot bear very much reality"

More Dangerous Than The Advice Human Beings Are Giving Them?

A year-long commission has been launched by Mind to examine AI and mental health after a Guardian investigation exposed how Google’s AI Overviews, which are shown to 2 billion people each month, gave people “very dangerous” mental health advice.

When the 'health professionals' are pushing the 'trans child' concept and telling men 'Of course we can surgically  make you into a realistic woman!' and vice versa, could it really be more dangerous? 

“I set myself and my team of mental health information experts at Mind a task: 20 minutes searching using queries we know people with mental health problems tend to use. None of us needed 20. “Within two minutes, Google had served AI Overviews that assured me starvation was healthy. It told a colleague mental health problems are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. Another was told that her imagined stalker was real, and a fourth that 60% of benefit claims for mental health conditions are malingering. It should go without saying that none of the above are true.

Well, you'd have to be mental to take as gospel anything you read on the Inter... 

Oh, right! 

“In each of these examples we are seeing how AI Overviews are flattening information about highly sensitive and nuanced areas into neat answers.”

Which is, after all, what the users want. They don't want to be told 'No, you can't have a functioning penis because you were born a girl!'... 

“People need and deserve access to constructive, empathetic, careful and nuanced information at all times.”

Then start giving it to them, and stop lying to them, and they won't need to use AI.

Statement on last night's events on X

 Late yesterday, this was released on X (this is one retweet among dozens so far, it being 1:38 a.m. GMT):


Certain things immediately need noting and sorting out:

  • Why has no MSM, inc. BBC, jumped on it?
  • Why has the “shadow home secretary” not condemned it, given it’s been a known blight online for a long time now?
  • Why did the Reform leader instead start attacking “ethnonationalism”?
  • Why did the Reform top brass, by evening’s end, change their policy to all foreign crims out but not before?
  • If they say they did not know … why did they not know? Were they not part of the Rape Gang Inquiry?
  • If not, why not?
  • Why did none of the events like the screenshot above not come out in the official whitewash?
  • What does Jess Phillips have to say for herself?
  • Why is this still only on X and other overseas platforms?

There is a by-election coming up for Gorton and Denton this Thursday. There are three main non LibLabConGreen uniparty branches … in chronological order:

  • Reform with Yusuf Farage
  • Advance with Ben Habib
  • Restore with Rupert Lowe

There is, of course, a collection of similarly minded smaller groups, such as the old UKIP, Heritage, Britain First.

Restore are not participating because they’re too late … the other two are in there. Of those two, which one has taken, from its inception, the entire invasion and ethnicity based raping gangs seriously? And which of those two has shifted its position like a blancmange, according to public mood, conceding only what they were forced to?

In this by-election, the two front runners are both also pro mass immigration.

Succumbing to the same old reasons

... given by Them, for not changing course:

"NOT YOU, MAN! "

The new brutal realities

Around the mid 90s, Brit politics was still recognisably red rosette, blue rosette, occasionally yellow rosette or green ... no one much knew what Heath, Harbag, Hewitt types et al had really been up to ... scandals were more in the Christine Keeler class ... even PMQs were a jolly jape where debating society grads used their oratory to amuse.

It then went purple rosette and teal rosette and became nastier. Until in 2026, there's even sniping and backbiting between fellow "disgruntleds". I have many Reform-devotee mutual followers on X, mainly ladies and have not unfollowed, have not blocked. Why would I? On most issues, we're the same.

What do we differ on?

Just on leadership, on the bleedin' "leadership". 

The real politics of the average person are forever being subordinated to inter-leadership sniping, with devotees falling in line behind one or other "leader".

Not good.  Even the two screenshot quotes from ordinary people below here will dismay hundreds of readers who are still "good Reformers".

But to paraphrase what Zeppelin sang ... the premises lie on the whispering wind. I'm sorry if it hurts but Farage is NOT going to lead a stairway to Brit heaven, he's set up to sell out to the worst bunch imaginable.

As for Lowe and Restore ... what chance ever govt? You see, there's a type of nicy-nicy conservative, e.g. from Sissingdon, from Sussex, from Suffolk ... and everything must still be daintily served in the conservatory. Reform is the "nice" dissidence from a world now gone, whereas Restore is the new brutalism, the new "blood, sweat and tears" and those are the two worlds clashing.

In Canada, plus Ireland ... both are drafting foreigners into the armed forces en masse, inc. Chinese. Does no one see what is happening here?  Has anyone in Britain heard of cross-channel boats and Bibby Stockholm?  Why do you think those people are allowed in here?  For luvverly assimilation and really groovy things?  For tea on the lawn?

These two people below resonate with many ... but not with nearly enough to sweep the danger from the shores. The song "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Starmer" presupposes we're viewing an enemy across the ditch ... whereas we're actually viewing them up the road.

'Bare Faced Cheek' Is The New 'Public Shame'

The Met Commissioner has blamed the shoplifting epidemic on storekeepers - insisting they 'don't report anything' and 'need to do better'.

Who is surprised? We thought Dick was the worst Commissioner, well, here's an even bigger dick! 

Sir Mark Rowley was questioned by the Home Affairs Committee today on thieves who regularly 'clear whole shelves' and walk out of shops without paying. It follows a 20 per cent rise in shoplifting last year - with police recording 530,643 offences in England and Wales.However, Sir Mark has now placed the blame on shopkeepers, despite MPs questioning him over a lack over the lack of prosecutions.
'We encourage them all to report it and the good stores have got really good security regimes and report it and help us out in ways that I'll come to in a moment. Some stores don't.' He then added: 'Some of them don't report anything, if we go there they don't give us the CCTV of the crime, they won't give us any statements, they don't give their staff time to give statements and they don't pay their staff to go to court to give evidence.'

Hmm, what sort of stores would they be, I wonder? The smaller independent stores, I'm guessing, the ones that aren't part of a massive conglomerate that can afford to take the loss and the threats from lawyers? Maybe even sole proprietors of ethnicity themselves?  

MP Joani Reid was seen frowning at the response after having informed Sir Mark that staff had told her they 'don't bother' to report thefts anymore. She added: 'They've stopped reporting it because there's no point'. Ms Reid said she had witnessed a man raiding a store just this morning. She said: 'We're not talking about one or two goods but he cleared the whole shelves, put them into a trolley and walked out the shop.' Another MP, Margaret Mullane, later said: 'I represent an outer London borough and shoplifting is prolific. 'The shops are also cleared regularly around my seat.'

And did this direct anecdote give him pause? Reader, it did not: 

But Sir Mark doubled down on claims. He said: 'I have challenged some sectors of the retail section to do better.' The Commissioner admitted some national chains - like 'Boots' - were 'fantastic' and 'very serious about shoplifting normally'.

Well, now you're being challenged to do better!  And we can see what use that is. If you don't want the job, why did you take it?

You can advise a MORON against anything harmful, but don't expect that MORON to listen

 

Yet another story of idiots who either can’t read, won’t read, think that they know best; or simply ignore well-proven Foreign Office advice which plainly says, “Don’t Go To Iran”.

Craig and Lindsay Foreman are low-quality morons who are ‘world travellers’ on their motor bikes.

They arrive at Iran’s borders, think they know best, and drive in. Get arrested, mainly because they are British, and land up with a ten year sentence for spying.

Now’ I ask you, “What the Fuck did they expect?” Many things our Foreign Office is guilty of, but when the advice is “Foreign Office advises against all travel to Iran, If you are a British national already in Iran, either resident or visitor, carefully consider your presence there and the risks you take by staying.” you simply wipe that particular well-known heap of Muslim Shit off of your journey’s itinerary.

But no, the pair of idiots present themselves as the next set of targets for the Iranian Guards, and now rest in Ervin Prison for ten years, or until the Iranians get tired of their weeping and wailing, and kick the stupid bastards out, just as they did with that other moron, Nazanin Ratcliffe; yes that the one, she went for a HOLIDAY with her parents in TEHRAN.

Two Tier Orwell strikes again

While we online were following the bunfight between Sharia Reform and the burgeoning Restore ...  behind the scenes, the gummint was continuing it's Online Draconian amendments.  Will Jones at The Daily Sceptic has:

Even more censorship is on the way. The Government has announced plans to force AI chatbots to comply with malicious communications laws – and to give itself Orwellian powers to bring in yet more speech restrictions without Parliamentary oversight. Toby writes about the moves in the Telegraph.

The Government intends to bring forward amendments of its own to the schools Bill that will supposedly close a loophole in the Online Safety Act to make sure AI chatbots comply with Britain’s draconian censorship laws. That will mean that if Grok says something in response to a user prompt that breaches, say, the Malicious Communications Act 1988, which was designed to protect women from obscene phone calls, Ofcom can fine its parent company £18 million or 10% of its annual global turnover. Whichever is the highest.

Amelia, poor dear, is obviously looking at this askance but can't see how the wooden Beloved Leader is going to enforce this in the US.  And as for the "ban" on VPNs ... yeah?  How?

The Usual Suspects...

Campaigners are urging ministers to change the law so that music lyrics are inadmissible in court...

Whut?  

....a shift that they say would stop a practice that disproportionately affects young black men and criminalises creativity.

Oh. Of course. Here we go again... 

At present, police can produce lyrics written by defendants, and even flag an appearance in the background of a music video, as evidence that a suspect is affiliated with a gang or involved in criminality. Campaign groups want a change to the victims and courts bill, which is currently making its way through parliament, to stop police from being able to present lyrics as evidence except when they are “literal, rather than figurative or fictional”.

So you can't be done for singing about shooting the sheriff unless you actually do plan to shoot the sheriff... How riduculous, what sort of morons are supporting this leniency for undoubtedly dangerous criminals

The amendment, which is being tabled by Baroness Shami Chakrabarti and has support from Baroness Doreen Lawrence, is due to be debated in the Lords this week.

Oh.Say no more... 

Charkrabarti told the Guardian: “We’re in a ridiculous position at present where somebody’s musical taste is somehow probative of their criminal intent. It is like saying that my love of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather makes me a mobster. It’s extraordinary.”

 Strange how it alway turns out to be accurate, though...

She is hopeful the amendment will be supported by the deputy prime minister, David Lammy.

Oh, god. The cavalcade of calamity continues.
