OK, so HMG is hell-bent on Sizewell C, to the extent that they are kissing the Frenchman's arse to get it done. Since last week's announcement there has only been bad news from France, on Flamanville and the operations of the existing French fleet. This follows upon well over a decade of nothing but bad news on the EPRs; so why SZC will be any better, no man can tell.

Even if were to be concluded on intelligent commercial terms, literally nobody would dare hazard a guess as to when this chunky bit of capacity would come on line. That's pretty dreadful for long-term planning in a perilously-balanced sector of crucial national importance; and gives the lie to the "only nukes deliver predictable baseload electricity at scale" line, which is about all EDF has to offer.
Writing in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, the experts said there was a marked increase in weight-loss attempts among children from 2011-12 onwards.
This coincided with parents being given feedback on their child’s weight as part of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP), which weighs and measures pupils when they are in reception and year 6.
Hurrah! Something works! Are you happy now, 'experts'..?
They said they were concerned that the increase in weight-loss attempts “has not been matched by an increase in the provision of weight management services in England, creating a risk of unsupervised and potentially inappropriate weight-control behaviours.
*sighs*
“Meanwhile, the rise in weight-loss attempts among children with a healthy weight raises concerns and suggests greater attention is needed to target weight control messages appropriately.”
Whatever the question of the day is, it seems the answer is always some version of 'gimmie more money/staff', have you noticed?
A further issue is that the central planners do feel they have a strategy in implementing their set of goals ... just a very poor grasp of how humanity operates when cornered.
A homeless charity has called on activists and supporters to march through Belfast on Saturday to protest against a sharp increase in the number of people dying on the streets of Northern Ireland’s capital.
McCusker, of the Social Democratic and Labour party (SDLP), said Belfast was not providing enough accommodation, addiction services and mental health treatment to handle the big increase in the number of young homeless people. Many mixed heroin and other opiates with other drugs, he said. “Most people we work with take a cocktail of drugs, which puts them at greater risk.”
The cost of living was having a “massive” impact on homelessness, McCusker added.
Aren't drugs and alcohol pretty expensive? And if you spend all your money on those, you've not got enough for rent?
Extern has urged policymakers to open an overdose prevention facility – a designated place for people to take drugs under the supervision of trained staff, who provide drug treatment, mental health services, wound care and blood testing.
Great! When do they open a fake supermarket, so all the compulsive shoplifters can get their supervised 'fix'? Or allow predators to target schoolgirls under the eyes of the authorities and poli...
This is the second of two videos, the other being here, dealing with self-defence of the smaller, lighter, more decrepit, whatever, person when attacked and beyond the good advice in the videos, there are also other issues I really must get to.
My comments
1. A couple of seconds past 6 mins, the lady makes a comment that, despite knowing he won't hurt her in this demo, it's still scary for her ... and she's a strong, sporty gal. Yes ... but she must not think it's only a male-female thing ... it's also a crazed middle-eastern, uncivilised thing.
2. In fact, it is the very intimidation which is debilitating. This sudden attack scenario can certainly benefit from the moves in the videos under certain circumstances, e.g. always use full body if poss against thumbs, not against whole hand grip etc. Girl must always use her strongest muscles in those thighs or knees if poss.
Good but there are certain realities:
a. The type of male who gangrapes or stabs is either white street gang, black hood dwellers or death cult groomers, rapists and stabbers.
b. It's not so much the single perv dragging her into the bushes or following her from the train station, it's all these others. Why is it no longer the former? Because she's no longer stupid enough to walk alone from a station or bus stop, it's not safe.
c. So her [or an] old man's defences really need to be of another kind these days and it's as simple as this - any self-defence whatever will land the victim behind bars, unless feminazi, and the perps are protected ... plus they know it.
d. Therefore, the first question is ... if you're prepared to go out and any part of that day is alone, then what is your terminal force position? In other words, if fight or flight are not options, what is your final position you've long ago determined you'll take? There are sayings:
# May as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb;
# If we're treading on thin ice, may as well dance.
So what is that position ... for you? Taser? Acid? Knife? Gun? Mace? Pepper? Either way you're in prison ... what's your final ... and therefore opening solution?
Don't kid yourself, believing in fantasies ... if eight death culters surround you out of nowhere ... what is your first and final response? If less than terminal, then I suggest you plan out different routes, different ways. Never alone either, esp. if female or old.
e. Which brings me to my second last point. Look at either of those two men in the videos. And those are controlled men. If crazed, drugged out of their Floydian skulls or whatever, it just heightens that brute power. You're dealing with a beast.
And not just one quite often. Time to get real. Think this thing through and plan accordingly. As of now.
f. My last point is the one which started this post, implied or express in the video ... presence of mind. It's all to do with that. You must be calm enough to think out or even remember learned counter moves. Your life at that moment = utter calm. Any soldier can tell you that.
So that lady's expression of fear is not going to help her. Utter calm in decision making is her survival ... or not. Plus dropping into the breathing routine under duress.
IN THE last week or so, two emails from Church of England HQ have hit my Mum’s inbox. Could this be a promise of more support for her work as vicar of eight village churches without even a curate? Could it be a response to her query about legal protection if she refuses to marry a trans person to a member of the same sex? Of course not. Like 95 per cent of the communications from bishops and central Church authorities the emails reflected the Church’s new priorities – Net Zero and ‘Racial Justice’. It would appear that preaching the gospel of salvation in Christ is passé.
The last Church building I was in was Chester cathedral, not for reason of any overt apostasy but over the "not fit for purpose" hypocrisy. For a church [meaning the body of believers worldwide rather than stones and mortar], pointy hatters carrying on in support of the globo climate scam or BLM is the last [Jack] straw.
There was a certain gentleman who was wont to call the priesthood "whited sepulchres" and spoke things such as:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Sounds pretty good to me. Were it to appear on Gab today, I think I'd click the follow button for sure.
The age when a boy turns into a young man varies between nations, along with such things as educational achievement, experiences of life; but is commonly accepted to be around twelve years old.
One of the many things associated, certainly in Western nations with this change, is the ability to tell right from wrong, to know when you are telling the truth; or when you are lying, Once a young man learns that he has been lied to, or has indeed himself been lying, he has that decision ahead of him, does he point the finger of blame at the liar, or does he accept that he himself, for whatever reason, was a liar.
Let us now examine the story, the tale, of a young eight year-old Somalian boy who came to Britain claiming his father was killed in the Somali civil war, but much later said he came to Britain with a woman he had never met, and was forced to clean and look after the woman’s children.
At some point, he came to the attention of Social Services, who moved him to live with the family whose name he adopted. He became well known in long distance running, winning both 5,000 and 10,000 metre races at the London Olympics. He triumphed again in the Rio Olympics. It should be noted at this point that he never, ever, made any reference to the fact that he knew that his name was made up, he never made any admission that his story was wildly different from the truth.
He even knelt before Her Majesty, when she knighted him at Buckingham Palace, and became Sir Mo Farah.
His athletic progress was challenged when his coach was accused of dealing out drugs to his runners, but Sir Mo denied any transgressions of the rules, and was cleared.
And it is only now that we discover that all the tales, the fairy-tales, of his early life were untrue, that he had consistently and knowingly lied. He lied to gain British citizenship, he lied to the Royal Family, he lied when he was running to represent Great Britain.
Once a liar, always a liar. He said that he has never taken drugs, but do we automatically believe the words of a proven, long-time fraud and liar. The Home Office states that they will be taking no action, in the light of his statements. Why on earth not? He is an illegal immigrant, surely he should, at the very least, stand before an Immigration Tribunal?
After all, Sir Mo Farah isn’t even his real name, and at least we know this, because he has admitted that he lied. He lied, and lied, and lied again. Some Role Model!
