Presenter and campaigner Katie Piper has told an audience at the Hay Festival in Wales that "ageing can be compared to a bereavement."

why would anyone say anything so daft? 

Piper's latest book, which is published on Friday, is titled Still Beautiful: On Age, Beauty and Owning Your Space.

oh, say no more! 

The 41-year-old said: "Women age out of the male gaze. I was ripped from the male gaze at 24. I didn't just become invisible. I became a target for people saying derogatory things."

Derogatory things like ‘You’re talking bollocks, love’ perhaps? 

Piper, who is also a presenter on the BBC programme Songs of Praise and ITV's Loose Women. said she had recently been asked if writers minded if they mentioned her age. "It was shocking, but not surprising. This was because I had been reminded at such a young age the currency and the power a woman holds when she is considered either beautiful or young, and now here I was going through the second phase of youth slipping away and feeling, once again, society's judgement and the label that they were going to put on to me."

It’s a familiar refrain. Because we are all getting older - some of us with dignity and acceptance, some of us...clearly not!

She said she felt positive about getting older. "I'm going to be 42 in October. I'm still incredibly young to many, and old and past it to some. You realise, 'I know who I am.' I have a strong sense of self and identity. This is the heyday. This is the time of my life. So I can only imagine what's on [for the] 50s and 60s and the decades beyond. I feel excited by that second chapter."

She said if she had to give one message to her younger self, it would be: "If you've ever felt less than... you've hated yourself or felt ashamed, it was never you. It was society, consumerism and capitalism. It was beneficial to someone, somewhere, to hold you down.

Oh, boy, capitalism is forever the big bogeyman in some people’s eyes, even as they earn a nice living from it, isn’t it? 

“Blowtorch” and the art of hyperbole

Is it the insanity of Net Zero and related psychoses, is it that Them are stuck for surpassing their last hyperbole, is it that it’s in the hands of Gen Zee at the Met office … or is it their own notion of humour, at a bizarre juncture of our Nu Lab Society, and this is to appease the Beloved Two Tier?

Can They Claim Back Their Council Tax Precept?

A couple whose Jaguar was stolen were forced to steal it back after police took too long to investigate. Mia Forbes Pirie and Mark Simpson discovered their car had gone missing from near their west London home in Brook Green on Wednesday morning. The pair had it fitted with an AirTag locator meaning they were able to track the vehicle to an updated location in Chiswick at 10.30am.

So, an open and shut case, one even today's modern coppers couldn't possibly screw up? 

But police informed them after dialling 999 that they did not know when they would be able to investigate and so could not offer immediate assistance.

What 'investigation' really needed doing? It was handed to you on a plate! 

The couple took matters into their own hands when Ms Pirie, 48, discovered the AirTag had last pinged on the road outside their home at around 3.20am.Mr Simpson, 62, was nervous as he made the four-mile journey with his wife to the car's new location. The pair discovered the vehicle on a quiet back street with its interior and carpets ripped apart by thieves who had attempted to access its wiring.

In a post to LinkedIn, Ms Forbes Pirie admitted it was 'kind of fun' stealing back the car but questioned 'why we should have had to do that'.

You shouldn't. You have done everything the police tell you to do to safeguard your property, after all. Now it's their turn to hold up their end of the bargain.

She added: '[Is] it right that the police seem to have no interest in investigating what is likely to have been a reasonably sophisticated operation involving a flat bed truck… if there are no consequences, what is the incentive for people not to do more of this?'

None, which no doubt helps the Met to demand more from the Treasury to 'stem the crime wave' that's ever present in London. due to things like this. 

Last year, the Met Police allegedly told a Londoner who had his car stolen to recover the vehicle himself as they didn't have the manpower. George Nicolas had his Maserati Levante stolen from outside his home in May after the thieves removed his steering lock with an angle grinder. Luckily the classic car fan had installed a tracking device in the car - which costs more than £93,000 when new - and he rang up the Met to inform them of the motor's location. But Mr Nicolas claimed he was subsequently told that the force 'didn't have anyone available' and instead recommended that he recover the vehicle himself since he knew where it was.

Perhaps if he'd phoned them again when he got to the car and threatened to shoot the thieves they'd have sufdenly found some manpower after all? 

The main threat(s)

Had a feeling Blgr would not let this expand:

https://x.com/ChanelRion/status/1934823170021954025

... inter-platform rivalries trump good communication. On the other hand ... to actually watch Chanel in the UK might be an actionable offence in Communist Starmerland, so it might be a blessing in disguise.

Then we have this:

Reports say US military "assets" are on their way but that might be DJT bluffing, it might not. Remember ... Gateway, Memri and Laura are from the same Nethan stable. Russia took in top Iranian nutter brass? Well, those are long time treaties ... I saw reports saying Russia is getting the hell out of Iran.

Which is more vital to bring readers iyho ... that above or the ongoing rape gang awkwardness for the perps, now that it's certainly gone viral on the net and in parlmt?

I'd suggest they're connected by an ideology which wants you dead. And I don't mean just the religious nutters in the ME, now spreading around the west ... never forget the WEF, the Rothschilds etc. ... they want you dead too.

In the UK, the assisted dying abomination is current, plus full term abortion (Creasy is simply evil), plus all the rest of it ... dispossessing people of their homes, esp. farmers and pensioners.

Have a lovely Tuesday shoring up your defences.

Hey BBC Verify, Never Mind That Plane Crash...Look A Little Closer To Home!

"I spent all of half-term looking for somewhere to live," says mother-of-three Shanice Aird. The 29-year-old from west London rejected her council's most recent temporary accommodation offer "an hour away" from her children's school.

No, Reader, of course there’s no mention of a father… 

The Shared Health Foundation is urging the government to put in measures to stop children in temporary accommodation going "missing" from schools and GPs after widespread displacement of families across the country. The charity's new report calls for a notification system so that all authorities are aware when a child moves into temporary accommodation.

Getting departments of government (both local and national) to talk to each other and keep each other in the loop is surely the Holy Grail, and far harder to achieve than stopping undesirables breeding. 

Ms Aird was living in a secure tenancy flat in Ealing with her three children, aged three, five and seven, but was moved to temporary accommodation in Hounslow in 2021 after witnessing a stabbing. She is now being evicted from the two-bedroom property by the landlord, but says Ealing Council has only offered her unsuitable alternative accommodation, including one flat an hour away from her children's school. Ms Aird says she will soon be homeless and will have to "sofa surf with friends" after the council discharged her from their housing duty.

Being a witness gets you rehoused!? 

She admits her children's attendance at school is "awful" as they do not have a permanent home. "It's really horrible because as a mum you want to try and provide as much safety and happiness as you can."

Clearly, not by ensuring they are borne into a stable two parent family, though!Im only surprised My mental ‘elf’ isn’t coming into play here.

Ms Aird says she needs to be close to family and friends to help with her mental health."I have bipolar type 2 and tend to go into depressive episodes, if it's a really bad episode it leads to me not being aware of what I'm doing," she says.

Right on cue! 

Ealing Council said Ms Aird was recently made offers of "suitable properties both in and out of the borough within easy reach of her support networks", which she refused. "Because of her refusal of these property offers, the council have discharged her main housing duty, and we have made a referral to children services at Hounslow Council who may be able to support her under the Children's Act," it added.

If only the country could wash its hands of these parasites as easily as the councils do… 

Felicity Afriyie has lived in temporary accommodation for 21 years with her three children aged 16, 19, and 20. In that time they have lived in more than 10 houses. Currently, they are living in a one-bedroom hostel in Lambeth, south London.

By choice, clearly! What’s up with these people who stunt their children’s lives by continually outbreeding their environment? 

Her daughter Grace, 20, says: "One of our school journeys was two hours. "Doing that distance to school every day was awful. It's had a massive impact on our education. "You can't expect a 16 year old... that's moved houses more times than they can count to sit a set of exams that will change their life and expect them to perform as well as their more stable affluent counterparts. "It's not fair and it's not a level playing field."

Well, blame mummy for that. Daddy clearly never got a look in! 

Lambeth Council says it had made a direct offer of suitable permanent accommodation to Ms Afriyie but she turned it down and requested a review. The review found that the permanent property proposed was suitable.

The government says the forthcoming Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill aims to introduce better protections for all children and better join-up between children's social care, schools and other local services.

It'd be better off trying to combat the effects of this sort of lifestyle on young impressionable children who will surely grow up with the attitude that this is a normal way to behave.

Ideological naivety of the world leads to atrocities

Wiki opens its article on the two Scandinavian girls in Morocco thus:

On 17 December 2018, the bodies of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, a 24-year-old Danish woman, and Maren Ueland, a 28-year-old Norwegian woman, were found ...

So we already had the model for how things go when woolly-headed Wokerati meet the reality on the ground.  They weren’t the first, nor the last.  In broader terms, we could go back to Joy Adamson:

On January 3, 1980, Adamson was found murdered near her camp in the Shaba Game Reserve. Her killer was a young Kenyan she had fired. As she had requested, her ashes were buried in the graves of Elsa and Pippa.

The number of utterly naive, usually young, usually female Wokerati luvvin everyone and hugging trees is testimony to the power of the Fabian narrative … particularly susceptible are western academics and they feed the utopian pap to simplistic students.

Returning to Blighty:

CB-A was a British student, now punditing, who was saved from “transitioning” at the last moment and woke up, thank goodness, to some now uncommon sense about gender.

There was the example in the 80s of Yuri Bezmenov’s account of his time as a Soviet agent mocking the “useful idiots” from Hubert Humphreys to Edward Kennedy to Jane Fonda … it goes on and on.

And now these twerps thinking they could get into Gaza via Egypt, only to be shown what Egyptians think of the Hamas people:

Rude awakening … FAFO of Lara Logan too in Cairo … these dysfuntional brains from years of brainwashing by academics and media meet people not enamoured of their Blue State woolly preconceptions.

This was also the mindset behind this Darren Jones:

It’s not that there haven’t been enough warnings, insufficient examples … on the contrary, there’s been a trickle and then a flood of warnings on every major issue but these people hardwire themselves to turn away, to flatly refuse to see … we saw that with the little Doom Goblin, now in Egypt … just how does she get such free passage to these places?

Gameplan and theatre, always producing victims such as the Scandinavian pair, plus any number of girls at the mercy of savages, quite sheeplike in their hardwired naivety.

The censorship of our Julia

As it says:

Woman Who Lives Entire Life Online Suddenly Discovers The Value Of Privacy

Social media influencer Emilie Kiser, 26, has filed a lawsuit against multiple agencies in Arizona to block the details of her three-year-old son's death from the public.

Kiser's attorneys argued that the records presumably contain 'graphic, distressing, and intimate details' of the toddler's death.

The kid drowned in a backyard pool. No doubrt while mummy was broadcasting to the masses who lap up this stuff.

They continued that public access to the records 'has no bearing on government accountability.'

What accountability does the government have? The fact the kid drowned is down to the parent’s lack of care.

To allow disclosure in these circumstances would be to turn Arizona’s Public Records Law into a weapon of emotional harm, rather than a tool of government transparency,' the lawsuit added.

So government transparency is only to be applied when other people’s children die, not when it’s the child of a narcissistic self-described ‘celebrity’? 

The reality of Reform

The Daily Sceptic newsletter today opens with an article blaming, not “the elites” but the people themselves for enabling the “elites”. It presupposes agency on the part of people, that view … ignoring psy-ops, the owning of the media, “entertainment”, the judiciary and so on.

People (read voters) are politically childlike on the whole … Eloi … the way Biden and Starmer gained power was bewildering for many … and the game is that policy is made by a narrow bunch of protected, parachuted in at branch level non-comps, all in thrall to bad players, whether WEF, Blackrock, Rothschilds, Soros, Rockefeller, the Old Families, the Euro Black Nobility, the Illumined, Madons, Jesuits, Zionists, Communists … we can argue the exact designation forever.

Point is … it’s a closed shop, a dishonest game, in which a Uniparty in thrall to bad players pretends to divide into two warring sides, red and blue … with another yellow or teal or light blue “populist” side to one side, spouting on TV, online, vaguely populist noises to keep the 80% hopeful.

As long as the 80%, let’s call them that, feel that this is “the last chance”, the only ones mouthing the right things, then they’ll overlook the Beloved Leader’s own private behaviour towards others, inc. women, how he’ll send police in to arrest anyone actually speaking out about the concerns of the people in real terms, how he’ll collapse parties the moment they look close to gaining enough FPTP votes.

But then comes the ultimate wheeze. Whilst the official elites are in thrall to, say, China, whilst Labour vary that by being in thrall to Shariah, what of the controlled opposition, the head honchos of the so-called populist party, the light blues?

Well look at it from the puppetmasters’ point of view. If, somehow, either elite party wins, then that’s that and China and the WEF etc. win, the banksters. As usual. But what if, shock, horror, the light blues sweep all away, most voting for them coz they’re the only game in town and they make vaguely populist noises when required … the puppetmasters are fine with that because it means the Smilsum wreck the country that way for awhile … as long as the country is being wrecked … that’s the bottom line.

Why?  OWG, innit? Reset, Build Back Better.  Which the godless utterly fail to understand is because the ultimate puppetmaster has always had that as the prime policy … destroy humans.

One curiosity, in plain sight, was when Starmer walked across to Farage on the floor to have a chat. What about?  Why would Starmer need to do that?

Are the light blues populist, democratic? Are they hell … they’re a company controlled by Farage, Yusuf, formerly also Tice.  Policy? Determined by them.  Officially, in the Articles.

Why do members not kick up a stink? Well, there’s this “last chance” mentality, isn’t there, plus Farage is such a good orator.  There’s this “well let’s give good ole Nige a fair chance, he might come good” hope against hope mentality.

“Not wishing to face reality” mentality … the reality that it’s entirely scripted.  Meanwhile, on the ground:

The subterfuge is immense because the stakes are so high.  Meanwhile, the real voice of people’s concerns is kept out of the MSM … he speaks in parlmt and on X … and that’s about it.

……

So, what are our voter options? Well, were Rupert and Ben to form a party, we then have hardcore Faragists, along with those not steeped in reality or perhaps thinking New Tory Party with Jenrick (maybe 20% of the vote), Rupert and Ben party (maybe the same sort of vote), the Tories (maybe 15%), Lib Dem (maybe similar vote, inc. Scotland), Labour (?), then others.

The way out of the impasse?  Rid Reform of Farage, Yusuf, Tice … the dissenting populace can then combine and form govt … under whom though?  Which leader?  What name for the party?

Maybe They Are Just More Dangerous Than Previously Thought?

The treatment of autistic people who are referred to the government’s deradicalisation scheme could be in breach of equality laws, a human rights charity has claimed. The home secretary has been warned that Prevent and Channel, the multi-agency follow-on programme, which seek to identify people at risk of extremism, are overreporting neurodivergent people.

In a pre-action letter to the Home Office, Rights & Security International (RSI) said it was “deeply concerned about a potential ongoing failure to collect and analyse data on the protected characteristics of those referred to Prevent and that this constitutes an ongoing failure to comply with their public sector equality duty”.

But maybe the prevalence of them on the list simply means that the public perception of autistic people as harmless wierdoes obsessed with dinosaurs or rail timetables - thanks to film & tv - is wrong?

RSI has argued that the failure to collect adequate data to support equality monitoring constitutes a breach of the home secretary and police’s public sector equality duty. The duty is the requirement to have “due regard” to the equality objectives in section 149 of the Equality Act, which include the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between people who share protected characteristics and those who do not.

Pretty difficult to do when they are doing this sort of thing: 

Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has voiced his concerns that a “staggeringly high” number of autistic people are referred to Prevent. He has cited terrorism cases in which the defendants were autistic, including 17-year-old Lloyd Gunton, who declared himself an Islamic State soldier and was sentenced to life in prison for preparing a vehicle and knife attack in Cardiff in 2018.

Should someone who does this not be referred to Prevent then? Just because they have, or may later get, a diagnosis?

A Home Office spokesperson said the government was reviewing the Prevent programme in light of concerns over neurodivergence. “We understand that those referred to Prevent often present with a range of vulnerabilities, and we take our safeguarding duties very seriously.

I think you are a bit confused about who exactly are the truly vulnerable here…
