The problem of May 1st

Whilst I’m not putting up anything anti-grassroots-Reform itself, and I hope they take those mayoralties and council seats, I’m not sitting back while, say, June Mummery insults us, our concerns about Yusuf, Farage and Tice being well founded:

If in rental, you might be gone, mateys

You know doubt read of Starmer offering landlords up and down the country £5000 to house foreign freeloaders … on X earlier was a list of where:

Places where Serco is planning to house asylum seekers in rented accommodation: North West: Allerdale Barrow-in-Furness Blackburn & Darwen Blackpool Bolton Burnley Bury Carlisle Cheshire East Cheshire West and Chester Chorley Copeland Eden (Penrith) Flyde Halton Hyndburn Knowsley Lancaster Liverpool Manchester Oldham Pendle Preston Ribble Valley Rochdale Rossendale Salford Sefton South Lakeland South Ribble Stockport St Helens Tameside Trafford Warrington West Lancashire Wigan Wirral Wyre Midlands: Amber Valley Ashfield Bassetlaw Birmingham Blaby Bolsover Boston Bromsgrove and Redditch Broxtowe Cannock Chase Charnwood Chesterfield Derby Derbyshire Dales Dudley East Lindsey East Staffordshire Erewash (Derbyshire) Gedling Harborough Herefordshire County of High Peak Hinkley & Bosworth Huntingdonshire Leicester Lincoln Lichfield Malvern Hills Mansfield Melton Newark and Sherwood Newcastle-under-Lyme North East Derbyshire North Kesteven (Lincolnshire) North Northamptonshire (Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough) North Warwickshire North West Leicestershire (Coalville) Nottingham Nuneaton and Bedworth Oadby & Wigston Rugby Rushcliffe Rutland Sandwell Shropshire Solihull South Derbyshire South Holland South Kesteven (Lincolnshire) South Staffordshire Stafford Staffordshire Moorlands Stoke-on-Trent Stratford-on-Avon Tamworth Telford and Wrekin Walsall Warwick ( Leamington Spa, Kenilworth) West Lindsey West Northamptonshire (Northampton & Daventry) Wolverhampton Worcester Wychavon Wyre Forest East of England: Babergh/Mid Suffolk Breckland Broadlands/South Norfolk Cambridge East Cambridgeshire East Suffolk Fenland Great Yarmouth Ipswich Kings Lynn & West Norfolk Mid Suffolk North Norfolk Norwich Peterborough South Cambridgeshire (Cambourne, Sawston) South Norfolk West Suffolk (Bury, Newmarket, Brandon, Haverhill, Mildenhall)

So What?

StopWatch, a police reform charity that campaigns against the use of stop and search and which analysed the data, also found 10,450 cases of the tactic used against girls.

I expected this to be another fakecharity, funded by the government to lobby the government to do what they wanted to do anyway and give a veneer of 'the public's support, but it seems not. 

Jodie Bradshaw, policy and advocacy lead at StopWatch, said: “We don’t think that stop and search is fit for purpose. There are other strategies which are much more likely to bring about fewer crimes and for people to feel safe walking in public spaces and in the communities where they live.”

As always, the mention of 'community' gives you a big clue to where their real interest lies... 

The Home Office data also showed that police forces in England and Wales submitted 747,396 use-of-force reports in the year ending March 2024, a rise of 13% on the year before. Use of force refers to officers using handcuffs, batons, tasers, firearms, limb or body restraints, and irritant sprays, among other measures. Women were the subject of 18% of these incidents, with black women making up about 9% of the total, even though the latest census estimates they make up just 4% of the population.

Maybe that's because they can be relied upon to overreact and get violent in greater percentages than any other ethnicity? 

Bradshaw argued that the police are more likely to patrol areas where a higher proportion of black, minority ethnic and marginalised groups live, and such communities are more likely to be stopped and searched as well as to have force used on them.

Police go where the crime is. That's just fact. 

Deborah Coles, the director of Inquest, a charity concerned with state-related deaths, said: “We know all too well that the use of force on women – particularly those who may have experienced violence and abuse – can be really traumatising.”

She said the rising number of stop and searches needs to be understood within the context of “increasing inequality, poverty and criminalisation”, and specifically the crackdown on protests and shoplifting.

Some of the poorest countrie don't have a problem with shoplifting, so why do we? And let's not forget that shoplifters mostly aren't Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread...

At what point will the tide turn?

Positioned to ensure that no result can benefit the people of the land from any angle:

The obvious question is how to stop WEFer and EU communist Starmer before all is lost.

'We have been kept completely in the dark and treated like dirt on the bottom of the NHS's shoes.'

Ms Lindsay said: 'I thought that February 28, 2019, when Lewis was attacked, and the three months that followed before he died from his injuries, was the worst period of our lives. 'Little did I know however that that was just the beginning of our nightmare. As victims, we have been treated disgracefully. 

Haven't you read about any other cases, that this comes as a surprise to you, then? 

'We still do not know why the killer was released 10 days before he attacked Lewis, who made that decision and why, and who is going to be held accountable for it.'

Oh, we do! Nobody in the NHS. Just like all the other cases. 

'But as if all that were not bad enough, only six years on, we now get to live knowing that the killer is now allowed out at night-time and will surely be released permanently soon 

'What kind of a country is this that we live in where victims of killings are treated like this?'

We live in the sort of country where the people elected to serve the country and keep people safe aren't up to the job, sadly: 

The decision to release people on indefinite detention, such as Fleet, is made by the Ministry of Justice, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State Shabana Mahmood.

In fact they can't even control the people who nominally work to them: 

Sharon Daniel, Hywel Dda University Health Board's director of nursing, quality and patient experience, has said the board would not be making reports public.

Why not? What have they got to worry about? 

St George’s Day today

The national day of England.

There will always be an England.

Smokin’, Pope Baby

With all the MSM and online guff about Bergoglio who’s now gone to face the music for his actions, a far more vital point has been overlooked:

Yep … the design of the new Popemobile … how much power is that baby gonna pack? What’s its torque?

Smokin’!

Easter Sunday

While for many, esp. families, it’s about fluffy bunnies and eggs, esp. chocolate, for others just another long weekend … for so many though around the world, not just in Britain nor Europe but in far flung parts of the world … it’s about the rolling away of a stone and its implications.

However, that’s not what this post is solely about. I saw a post by one Brenden Dilley on X which argued that speed is of the essence in America:

I believe @ElonMusk was right when he said that Democrats were importing illegals as a means of having a permanent majority in all swing states.

However, he missed a more sinister underlying reason for doing so... By importing twenty million illegals, they also set up an absurd mission for President Trump to pursue, which is deporting every single one of them. This will not result in making America great again. It will simply make America 2020 again. This is 100% by design. When you have an elite problem solver who is capable of multi-tasking and operating high-level organizational control, the only way to manage that opponent is to control the problems he's focused on solving. Much like Covid-19 derailed the entire Trump agenda in 2020, the invasion is designed to do the same thing. Give Trump and MAGA a false sense of victory over problems the deep state set to eat up time and resources. How do you counter this tactic? The same way you counter all tactics in 2025... speed. The administration must understand that they're solving problems and fighting enemies inside of a prefabricated environment. The real problems and real enemies exist outside of this environment. The only way to escape the environment is to adopt an attitude of permanent offense and permanent speed. Speed allows for mistakes. Speed allows for smaller organizations that don't have the numbers to destroy much larger and well funded institutions. Speed is the great equalizer with information warfare. There are only so many judges. There are only so many Dem leaders, activists, and organizers. Trump must turn the tables and begin dictating terms across multiple war zones and environments. Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel hundreds of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel and force them to litigate. If their strategy is to bog you down in court, saturate the environment in such a way that they don't have enough time and resources to litigate every dramatic action you've taken. Close down agencies. Lock the doors. Seize computers. Send them all home. Force them to litigate. We must begin dictating the battlefield and playing a higher level of war, or we will get victories, but they will only be the ones that our communist opponents allow.

In Britain, we have the opposite imperative … to slow down, bog down, non-cooperate … to make anything Starmer’s trying to do simply unworkable … en masse … plus to wake up to the invasion and its purpose, to disrupt in small ways … cumulatively though, they add up.

Plus to call out Uniparty quislings, inc. Farage, Yusef and Tice. En masse.

Just in case some close people aren’t aware

 Grandad, elder statesman of Scriblerus

He’s put up a post which does not sound too good:

https://headrambles.com/2025/04/18/bad-friday-3

The complication is he cares for his wife of the same vintage who is now quite vulnerable. What is there which is positive? The visiting nurse is a double-edged sword as she is representing official “care” provision … read the post.

There are, or were, daughters … whether any nearby, I don’t know:

There’s one good thing in that we still have this communication channel. I’m fairly out of touch with Grandad at this stage, esp. since the theft of N.O. by a certain platform.

Shall explore possibilities.

Good Friday greetings to readers

Sorry not to be more inventive but hot cross buns are still the order of the day:
