9. Parenting


8. Progressivism is not benign … it’s evil


7. The long march

Rather nice but chilly. The clothes had three layers, inc. hooded jacket and yet it was cold through it, coming off the water. Ships in port, the birds were interesting today (feathered variety). Even from the middle of the water, they started locomotoring towards my bank … same happened at the lake later.

Nothing particularly stunning about that but they certainly keep eyes peeled. Toods brought up the “don’t feed them” thing … dependent population … yes, ok, but that is a touristy spot, the lake, plus the ships are always good for pickings. Was thinking though that we might be like that in a couple of months if govt gets its way.

Just imagine … we’ll hang around council offices or hotel back entrances, hoping for occasional tidbits.

6. Same old topic today out there, mainly due to “mongrel” Rees Mogg

a) Protesters in the Bulgarian city of Varna pelted European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s motorcade with fruit, vegetables, and eggs during a rally against her visit, Report informs referring to the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA). The rally was held under the slogan “Varna wants peace, not war!” Von der Leyen was met with shouts of “Ursula, you are not welcome here!” and calls to leave the city.

b) German Authorities Start Initiative To Evaluate Public Register For Climate “Disinformation” Spreaders! Back to the Dark Ages… Elements within the German government are poised to take the authoritarian step of suppressing and restricting scientific discourse.

c) Hoax bomb threats empty hundreds of Italian schools as alerts spread to UK. The emails, signed with the same alias used in recent hoaxes against European flights and broadcasters, also threatened Italy’s Prime Minister.

d) Poland’s Supreme Court has overturned the suspensions of Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, dealing a major legal blow to the attempted takeover backed by Donald Tusk. Yet the pro-government judges who seized control have refused to recognise the ruling, deepening the crisis on the eve of Independence Day.

e) Thousands of Muslims are being deported from France – here’s why.

1. The quality of Englishness is not strained

… it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.

It’s not as if it’s a new issue … Somerset Maugham and Mr. Know-All (1925):

I had scarcely started before a man came up to me and asked me if he was right in thinking my name was so and so. “I am Mr. Kelada,” he added, with a smile that showed a row of flashing teeth, and sat down.

“Oh, yes, we’re sharing a cabin, I think.”

“Bit of luck, I call it. You never know who you’re going to be put in with. I was jolly glad when I heard you were English. I’m all for us English sticking together when we’re abroad, if you understand what I mean.”

I blinked. “Are you English?” I asked, perhaps tactlessly.

“Rather. You don’t think I look like an American, do you? British to the backbone, that’s what I am.”

To prove it, Mr. Kelada took out of his pocket a passport and airily waved it under my nose.

This was the latest attempt:


Ed Davey (Mr. Post Office) spoke in parliament on “Englishness” … comment on that:


Lisa is what people might call “white English” but she sports the Union Flag, not St George:


In my time in Russia, I was often spoken of like: “Он наполовину русский,” or “He’s half Russian.” It was an honorary title, not a citizenship claim … I was still “иностранец” or “a foreigner”, officially … but a friendly one who spoke the language passably.

Wednesday [21 till close of play]

(1637) Almost evening, folks.

 

24. I’ve heard of this David Jason

… but who’s this Louis Walsh? Or Ross, Noel Fielding, Frank Bruno, Mr. Blobby, Boaty McBoatface? Chris Moyles, Matt Lucas. Simon Cowell. Some people started talking about known-knowns like Smelly John or Fry-up but that seems a bit out there.

23. Nice


22. Need we be prepared for trouble at this end?


21. Confucius say

Wed Mat too

 


Wiki: When the film was released, The New York Times film critic, Bosley Crowther, while giving the film a mixed review, wrote well of the screenplay, “No use to speak of the action or the acting. It’s strictly routine. But the plot is deliberately sensational.”

Wednesday [11 to 15]

(1222) Afternoon all. (1251)

 

15. House of the Sleepy

Screenshot only

Point of this item with full pic is to illustrate that even with someone in parlmt, what guarantee anyone will be there to hear it, that it will get out to the people, that any change can eventuate. Lord Toby (speaking) runs Daily Sceptic and is visible on soc-med … how many of the normies would quote him?

14. Brave New World


13. Strange


12. An old account


11. The poisoning of our food
