A time to support someone on our side

We Do, Simon, We Do....
...and look at the result! When David Lammy opens his mouth, his brain falls out and lies quivering on the desk. And yet he's now Foreign Secretary!
And as for Diane Abbott, if she has one brain cell, it's very lonely.
The Commons is reluctant to reform itself, but it badly needs it. Now we supposedly know who the next government will be, voters, at least in marginal seats, should select their MPs as individuals, not loyal party members. They should judge them for intelligence, radicalism and independence – qualities likely to be in very short supply.
Indeed so. So perhaps if people no longer vote tribally, and actually read up on the candidates in front of them, we'll see an improvement in quality?
It's a nice thought.

The British plus the French elections
The British
There was a post run at my and my colleagues' main site across the way on calculating the square root of a number "by hand" ... bear with me a minute here.
The lesson was that you could not get it exact via decimals but you can get close enough to establish "likelihood" via an old long division method. The method is tried and true, many might remember but it's flaws are firstly that it's exhaustive and exhausting, requiring due diligence and good memory, also multitasking whilst at the same time being able to focus on the one thing to the exclusion of others.
In other words, it's juggling contradictory skills and requirements to arrive at the nearest solution as dammit. Trouble is, this is maths, therefore many associate that with precision and "one only" answers. Life teaches that that's seldom the case, certainly in politics ... things are never as they exactly seem, often because they're not meant to show the reality.
So long time ferreters start to follow fail-safes and I'm doing that with two people ... one a pre-WEFer and the other here now ... Michael Heaver. Plus here.
As I plan to post his video below, my very first move is therefore to check him out, even if I think I know him ... plus things change over time. Plus checking things out can be a confirmation just as much as a debunking. Plus applying "the method" is good discipline and good scholars have good discipline.
First step is usually Wiki, which is a known-known for its left or woke bias ... early in, we get "far right", a trigger word, we get Infowars, also a trigger as Sandy Hook has by no means been established according to Jones's fine ... i.e. it's still very much "a thing", not explained.
Second is if I'm calling him Michael or Heaver or Mr. Heaver or that loony or that perspicacious young man of 35 in 2024 ... a dead giveaway as to the author's position. Plus that in itself is fraught ... I, as a pundit with my own views, am commenting on a guy who's commenting in a video on a phenomenon which has only really just come to light for most people ... for us pundits, it's a timely reminder to apply the method every single time, no exceptions ... it gets quicker with experience ... be wary of a priori assumptions ... when these are our own, we can show "confirmation bias", oft an error producer before we even start.
The best literary representation of "the method" was Conan Doyle's Holmes.
Third is the language I use ... what are my buzz words, what are his?
Fourth is to go straight for a negative question on ggl or other search engine ... know their biases too. With an actress, try xxxx is a slut or couch or even try a modern 304. "Respectable" people would be horrified at this advice but we're in the business here of finding out, using often hostile and algorithm biased search rngines to our own advantage. Don't just enter the name and take it as read, don't just enter a positive coz all you'll get back is eulogies ... confirmation bias. If you must use Snopes, know that anything anti-Woke will be slanted from him.
If you've drawn a blank on exhaustive sets of negatives about the man, then proceed with caution ... run the video, noting the bias up front before even starting:
If yiu truly have done your due diligence, then be aware that not everyone has and thus it's an uneven playing field, with goalposts changing the whole time, as in that square root finder mentioned at the start of this post.
Lastly on "the method" ... what of your own capacity to understand? Affected by age, life upbringing, experiences, health level, sleep, personality ... are you sombre and pedantic or flitting all over the place? Are you subconsciously following an agenda? Did you actually apply ALL the method above? Have I left any steps out?
Right ... after all that ... the massive bias towards the red v blue rosettes in parliamentary politics ...
Well of course there bleedin' well is ... they've had centuries to hone it, Swift wrote on it, so have others. There's always a third, ineffective party to pretend there's real choice. Look at our one ... Davey and his post office scandal.
Someone loses his or her seat? Give him a go g, kick him upstairs and make him an unelected minister of state, secretary of state. And last moment PPC parachuting in? And the whole notion of deep state anyway?
Bear all of it in mind above, then evaluate Nige's lot before his first speech ... will he ask the hard questions? Will he be allowed? Will he be squeezed iut like a Bridgen?
Early days. 🍿🍿🍿

The utter bollox Brits have swallowed over the Ukraine

I Think I See The Problem...
Germany might be renowned for its cleanliness and order, but the nation’s toilets seem to tell a different story. In 2023, one study found that half of German school students would rather hold it in than relieve themselves in the school loos. But no more. The first German School Toilet Summit was held this month to tackle the issue.
You're using them for conference seating! Try putting them in public toilets and plumbing them in, dumb Krauts!
To make toilets more appealing to young people, the German Toilet Organization awarded prizes totalling €50,000 (£42,000) to school pupils with the most innovative suggestions for improving the hygiene of public facilities.
You can have that suggestion for free, kinder.
You might scoff at our European neighbours, who have a reputation for speaking plainly about bowel movements, sitting down to wee (even the men) and examining their own “fecal health”, aided by the country’s Flachspüler, or in-shelf toilets. But they’ve got the right idea in getting young people to consider the grossness of public conveniences.
Shared toilets, as anyone online knows, have become a focal point in the culture wars. They show up the most obvious difference between the sexes.
Because the people waging the war don't believe in those differences.
They also, very importantly, show us the divide between the decent upstanding citizens of the world and the absolutely feral miscreants. At a former workplace, a mystery unflushable poo became something of legend, partly because it had been left there, in the unisex loos, with an entire metal fork wedged into it.
Lovely!
...my firm belief is that the higher quality provision we’re given, the better we’ll behave in and around them.
Well, that's an expectation that has yet to run up against reality...

But Won’t It Be The Customers Who Determine Success, Nils?
It’s a euros triumph already: the value of all the companies on the London stock market is greater than all those on the Paris exchange: $3.18tn plays $3.13tn, calculates Bloomberg. Actually, we should probably contain our excitement. First, the position is not groundbreaking: until only a few years ago, London was miles ahead as the biggest stock market in Europe. Second, the current position could reverse in an instant: it would merely take a marginal improvement in the value of fashion stocks such as LVMH, Hermès and Gucci-owning Kering that are heavyweights in Paris.
Well, I guess that's up to the people that buy frocks then. If, that is, they buy enough of them...
Relative size versus Paris is a diverting yardstick, but success for London should really be measured in terms of quality of new listings, capital raised, the ease of doing business and so forth. The fascination with pure size quickly leads to the current silly idea that it would somehow be a “boost” for London if Shein, the Chinese-founded, but Singapore-based, fast-fashion retailer could be persuaded to list here, carrying a supposed £52bn valuation.
Why is that a silly idea?
What would count as success? Well, here’s a small example from another weekend story: the founders of Melrose Industries, the deal-making company that bought the aerospace and automotive group GKN for £8bn in a hostile takeover in 2018, will return to action with a London-listed investment vehicle. Rosebank Industries – a sort of Melrose 2.0 – will raise £40m-plus via an offering on Aim, London’s junior market, Sky News reported, before hunting for deals of up to $3bn and then moving up to the main market.
This is why I never dabble in finance. I cannot fathom from this article why one is desirable and the other isn't.

Just WHO is qualified to advise us?
... listing various unpronouncable ingredients but including aspirin, which is one of mine in low doses. The NHS standard advice:
Low-dose aspirin helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes in people who are at high risk of them. Aspirin is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. Your doctor may suggest that you take a daily low dose if you have had a stroke or a heart attack to help stop you having another one.However, this one has long been contra-indicated, if on heart meds ...
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammationAnd the texted advice said:
How on earth is the average bear supposed to know even a fraction of that? Evidence Based Medicine which allows a mass of WHO approved literature has much on drugs but again ... how's the average tik-tok (Chinese) dancing nurse to know which drugs to prescribe, which not?
So back to the blood pressure medication IYE opened with ... this was from the article ...
Potassium Chloride eh? This Potassium Chloride ...?
In the United States, potassium chloride is used as the final drug in the three injection sequence of lethal injection as a form of capital punishment. It induces cardiac arrest, ultimately killing the inmate.Now, clearly, you're not to blindly panic on the say-so of some non-medical blogger on a freedom site (moi) who may just have it a***-end around ... so WHOse say-so can you accept? Someone sending a text, no bona fides stated?
All right ... a GP? Good luck finding one at the clinic's "press one for ... press two for" disembodied or script reading telephone answerer. Medical qualification? Level of nonWoke education, if under 35 years of age? Or even to 50 years of age now?
So what we have here is a cascading conglomeration of factors piling up, inc. NHS woes, plus the WEF and WHO necessity for the culling of the ageing population ... the Agenda. That was partly what the plandemic was about, 2015 to 2019.
WHO ya gonna call? Ghostbusters?
