(1629) Evening all. Nice beef soup coming up here. Most jobs done. There are about five hours of Paul Temple up today … some pleasant listening later. Again thanks to you chapses and chapesses … you make this site … even I want to come over and see what gives.

The following interview with Andrew Bridgen is done by a friend of mine, Dr Chan Abraham.-

Tyranny, Liberty, Cromwell and Britain Today
Dive into a riveting exploration of Britain’s turbulent past and precarious present in “Tyranny, Liberty, Cromwell and Britain Today”. Join host Dr Chan Abraham talking with principled, outspoken and courageous former UK Parliament Member and businessman Andrew Bridgen in Huntingdon, the historic birthplace of one of England’s most significant leaders, Oliver Cromwell.
Chan asks what would Cromwell make of today’s political chaos?
From the erosion of freedoms during the COVID-19 era to the chilling parallels with 1960s thalidomide scandals, the continuing excess deaths, and looming threat of digital IDs, this unfiltered conversation exposes the power grabs, psychological operations, and betrayals that have shaken Britain since 2020.
Andrew pulls no punches, revealing how UK politicians fail to understand or behave as who they are: servants, not masters, of The People, and why the British public must rise up lawfully to reclaim liberty before it’s lost forever.
Packed with eye-opening insights, historical echoes, and a call to action for a brighter future, this 29-minute deep dive is essential viewing for anyone who values truth, justice, and democracy.

6. DAD at 1299, Andy, IYE plus other chapses
Says it all really, does it not?
Right … I was listening to IYE’s offering:
“A Case for Paul Temple”
(The site is playing up, won’t embed url, so you’ll need to go to comments under this post |https://unherdablecats.com/2026/02/18/wed-mat-44/ )
… and there were advantages to it … the ability to just lie back and listen … it continued episode to episode, no ads. The YT one below you’d not want to “watch” on YT for the very reason of horrible ads, really the pits … but at HQ, that’s solved:
Which still leaves one issue … we know em all, we’ve heard each at least twice, we know the formulaic plots, we know the villain by the end. Thus it can only be for the process, for the evocation, we’d spend the time. I just listened to the Spencer opening and was already hooked again. Why?
Political posts … have read the sidebar … I have a job to do just now, so maybe 1330 onwards back here.
Reading IYE’s latest comment about his corner of France, I had just come from Xing three ladies Lucia, lida and Moosh (whom we know) … the first had posted:
Sometime back, lida had posted:
… and Moosh also puts out some evocative prints in a different style, but still with those highly evocative, melancholy undertones, the sense of solitary glimpses into something now far away.
I once found myself stepping out at night (or often during the day at some cafe) with a number of quite striking beauties, each an individual, and yet each with a certain melancholy … it immediately made me think of this Amon Duul song:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonely_Woman_(composition)
Maybe cut the band some slack on the lyrics … French German band, singing in English.
… plus it reminded me of The Three Days of the Condor … that part where he “kidnaps” the girl back to her apartment, where she has similar art upon the walls … bare trees, unadorned. I hasten to add that these ladies were never “overdone”, never made up as “painted women”, flopping it all out … there was a certain unknowing mystery in there, even an austere style.
When I think of those days, comparing it to my “rugby playing bully” days, and again comparing it to our current Restore brutalism, in contrast to IYE’s evocative pen picture of France … I’m just grateful for the journey … quite some journey … even now, my longest known friend is pony trekking in Iceland and reporting on it … the weather is interesting, as it is with us.
The foremost issue of having been an “associate member” of various western scenes over the years is that one is never fully accepted by any. Certainly accepted personally but not seen as “one of them” … how could I be? Just now, I’ve been speaking with Toodles of a mutual friend near the gulf … so what comes out of it is this sort of westwide culture and yet strong national cultures within each … personally, I love that. It’s not constricting, not suffocating. It’s vibrant.
And us here, we unherdables … what a mix … yet all of us think of cultural purity. Go figure, as an American might say.
(0658) Morning all! Looking dull out there as the clock strikes thirteen. (0757)

3. These things do go viral
… hence the evil muvvers’ attempts at draconian screw-tightening:
2. The hopefully semi-eternal DAD
a) More on the murder at Lyon. Leftist Group linked to killing of young Activist not just a problem in France…. (JH: Murder at Lyon?)
b) Does Art follow Life: or does Life follow Art? An actor was pelted with fruit, shouted down and attacked by members of the audience as he delivered a monologue in character as a far-right activist….
c) The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has called on the UK Labour Government to scrap its ban on new North Sea exploration licences and bring the Energy Profits Levy to an orderly end….
d) Why is the UK Government Killing the Countryside? As long as there’s a settled, traditional people with deep roots and connectedness to the landscape, it will be observed that there always were indigenous peoples of these isles….
e) Liars: German national TV caught using AI images of fake ICE arrest….
f) The other day I look for a few minutes at the Ghlislain Maxwell 5th amendment video [GM5th}. Immediately I thought, “Blimy, prison food has filled out her face”.

22. It’s coming out all over the place now
21. Steve has a link up
… to a hundred and something pages … may I suggest you bookmark it at your place while it’s still on the front page? Meanwhile, there’s real war on X … enjoying it, making new friends and trying to help Britain too. I posted it on X too.
(1437) Afternoon all. (1454)
20. The honourable?
19. Moo corner
18. It continues
17. Veer right
16. The cost of living
This is 2h 25m of Callan in three episodes. Now you either like, dislike or don’t know of it (outside the UK or before the 80s) but it did have a major audience at the time, it was the new dystopic series with anti-hero, in the style of Le Carre et al. Baddy could have been anyone but in the 70s, it was the KGB.
William Squires was the section honcho, called “Hunter”, Callan was the best operative, tone of the show was bleak. This is three episodes in a row, joined, about a KGB operative “Richmond”, played by TP McKenna, an excellent actor. It was unusual for the three episodes to be linked in theme. I’d say the best single episode might have been A Magnum for Schneider.
Hope you like this bit of nostalgia. At 1125, 2h 25m takes us to 1350, when I’ll resume … lunch, snooze, washing to do.
(0838) Dull out there again. Someone in Britain just said snow was forecast. (0916)

13. Isn’t it “to” dust we will return?
Never mind. Just in case you’ve forgotten. From Senator Canavan, Queensland downunder.
Not being RC, nor any denomination right now, just biblical, the question is how far to observe these traditions such as abstinence. I mean … why? Ok, ok … if I have to give up ladies or chocolate … which one? Maybe just reduce?
12. More on that Alex Phillips and Young Bob interview
Don’t know about you but nice that Brit politics has become interesting again … even fun.
