… but the season they usher in is … plus half the following season.
20. This is possibly the definitive X post of this year in history

18. Sydney Jones is a young, strange one
… but very much now of our politics, once pro-trans. She mentions an indi photographer who, like Nick Shirley, gets into places … this one photographs boats taking off from France for example.
Some unscrupulous onliners are simply rerunning his shots as theirs. A real no-no. Attribution, people … attribution.
17. Yes, you read that right … ham, as in the meat
… they are way out of control now, these people, utterly mad.
16. DAD in two places
No,16 I wish to change the penultimate sentence to…..
Could it be that the ‘Famous Five’ were just stealing/selling illegal fuel to farmers?
🤔 Back in the 1970s I remember announcements from HM gubermint exhorting women who were planning to become pregnant or currently pregnant to take a folic acid supplement to avoid the possibility of their babies being born with spina bifida. Look at the map above and join some dots if you will. Which demographic in the UK has the most kids now? Is this the reason for the rush to adulterate flour and all its iterations? 🤔
(0824) Morning all … light poisoned cloud cover, wall to wall out there. (0909)

8. More from TimCB on X
A third survivor has walked off the government’s grooming gangs panel. Elizabeth (not her real name) Rotherham. Fiona Goddard and Ellie-Ann Reynolds have already gone. They say the process is scripted, toxic, and that the Home Office keeps trying to widen the brief so race and religion slide out of shot. They do not want another police or social-work chair marking the same homework.
Labour announced a national inquiry. Survivors are leaving it. The girls who were failed once by councils, police and a political class that would not say who the gangs were are being failed again if this becomes a general child-abuse seminar with the hard bit deleted. Keep the inquiry on grooming gangs. Appoint a chair the victims can stand. Anything else is why they quit.
7. Fragmentation looked at again (see Mon 5)
6. Fairford
TimCB on X:
Why Fairford? It is not a quiet Gloucestershire field. It is the US bomber strip in this country. B-1s have been flying the Iran war from there. About a dozen still on the pan. The IRGC had already talked about the base and the people on it.
Five men, explosives, vans, a village emptied. If that had gone off it would not have been a local incident. It would have been an attack on the runway the alliance uses to hit Iran, on British soil, next to British houses.
Host the bombers and you host the target. Policing a village at midnight is now part of air defence. The farmer who dialled 999 did more in that hour than another review of “resilience.” The next one may not get a 999. Treat the base as what it is: a front-line airfield with a Cotswold postcode. It is speculation but it seems likely that at least some of these men came by dingy treat the Channel as defended national border not a welcome to criminals.
(0720) Health a bit better, needs to be as busy Monday coming up, gets me up and downstairs a few times. Hope you survive this week. (0750)
5. A bitta history
I know a few people who know almost no vital history and what’s more … are not remotely interested. “Vital” I consider to be that which had great effect on subsequent society, e.g. the Johns Hopkins conference in late 2018, deciding how best to roll out the Covid vaxx and lockdown horror. Another was this:

And that eligibility again?

a) French Government’s ‘Menstruating Persons’ Post Angers Feminists Across Political Spectrum
A French government social media post referring to “menstruating insured persons” instead of women sparked cross-party backlash over alleged ideological overreach and female erasure.
b) France’s interior minister has told police they must not intervene in shallow waters to stop migrant boats heading for the UK.
Laurent Nunez, who serves in President Emmanuel Macron’s government, said that officers damaging the dinghies was ‘unacceptable’.
c) Germany. Merz says “Mitarbeitende”: Now he’s using gender language too!
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz drew criticism for using gender-neutral language he previously opposed, raising questions about whether coalition governance has altered his conservative principles.
d) UK Green Party. Polanski’s ‘banter Stasi’,
Chilling order that could have come from 1980s East Germany – Greens tell members to report on friends who crack unwoke jokes… even if the so-called victim finds them funny.
e) Staying Strong: more Covid injustice.
Former Taranaki, New Zealand, primary school principal Kathryn Pick has spoken publicly about the four-year disciplinary process that ended in June 2026 with the cancellation of her teaching registration.
She spoke in an in-depth interview with independent investigative reporter Penny Marie…

6. A suggestion if you’re feelin’ a bit peaky
The long and the short is that the ole ticker is not quite right today … not too bad but I’m aware of it, which is no real news since 2017 and I have the meds … what I do is take a break, usually a lie down but it’s the lying down which seems the issue. In fact, on that day in 2017, it was not the moving about which brought it on but the lying down … must have been wicked in a former life.
Anyway, when I do rest up, one of the things is to choose a Temple:
You might like to bookmark that page as it has several Temples embedded. The advantage there is no ads. The one I’m on is The Jonathan Mystery. In it, a character called Ferguson has just had heart palpatations … charming. I don’t but it’s still not a 30 year old’s heart.
By the way, did you see one of the contra-indications of folic acid is those with a stent. Hmmmm. The upside is the brain’s still functioning and I do know what to do if … if.
Not much in the way of politics in the queue but plenty already on the site in its various outhouses. Plus OoL.
Torquaymada left a comment … you might like to check out his link (comments thread). The issue with Sundance is he’s asking for readers to buy him a coffee. In my case, firstly, I have plenty until the bank or gummint take it … and secondly, I absolutely must not have anything to do with payments, money, either outward to subscriptions or political memberships … and equally, nothing incoming. Some have suggested it and it’s very kind but it’s a most delicate situation I’m in. Best keep things as they are.
Seems there are three versions of this … one is 1981 (mini series it seems), one is 2009 and one is the proper one from 1962. The 2009 one I opened and some nun was telling the triffid keeper that it was God’s vengeance, in such a way as to mock God. I’d expect that in godless 2026, so I ditched it.
The 1962 was the real film but terrible screen quality, so it was a case of searching for other postings … this below is not bad.
