“The first Yorkshire Day was celebrated in 1975 by the Yorkshire Ridings Society as a protest against the local government reforms of 1974, which raised concerns about the erosion of Yorkshire’s historic boundaries. Over the years, it has evolved into a broader celebration of the county’s identity and heritage.”
In other words, it has lost its original purpose and is now a leftwing officials fest.

“ Patriotic millionaire’ Gary Lineker accused of ‘gross hypocrisy’ over five-year battle against £4.9million tax bill – after urging Andy Burnham to make wealthy pay more”
“…… The former England footballer last week signed an open letter with more than 100 other millionaires urging Andy Burnham to increase taxes for the wealthiest. ….”
Some might remember the travelogues of Tom Scott on youtube and then they ended. Why? Prohibitively expensive travel, plus the difficulties of international now, plus we were just not putting much into the coffers.
However, he has reappeared, has Tom, which makes this about Chris interesting:
I’d say we all, within this travelogue lovin’ sphere, appreciate any of this sort of thing … there was one who used to travel Britain’s roads … but it’s not without costs to the guy (or gal). Anyway, here’s this week’s from Chris Spargo:
What Chris discovered was that the power required to actually lift off was so great that he was cream-crackered thereafter, in the air. The Russian Ecranoplan discovered that too in that they needed engines just to lift off, which could then be shut down until the landing.

… some more details gathered last evening and this morning on the mise à jour (Fauci in this one):
1. DAD at 1454
a) Manchester Mayoral Elections. Final result declared after first and second-preference votes counted (JH: It’s not clickbait, I assure you … it’s utter disdain for the Labour cow and the process).
b) Not Just an Invasion—but Surrender. The mass crossings at Ceuta and Melilla expose the consequences of a political class that has traded border security for ideological commitments.
c) As in the rest of Europe, cultural enrichment has brought to Austria a new surplus of various forms of crime, especially the violent kind. And the response of the state broadcaster? To ignore the statistics, and pretend they don’t exist…. (JH: followed by sheer poetry).
d) German chancellor Friedrich Merz is facing growing pressure from within his own Christian Democratic Union (CDU) after a government reshuffle triggered fresh criticism of his leadership, while new polling suggests the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has widened its national lead.
e) Green Hydrogen is a dirty word and no one wants to go to the Fiji Climate Conference. More signs that the climate change movement is on the way out.
Yes, if we mean Ashcan, Net the Yahoo, Red Shield and the like … the Babylonians, I call them … yes, Scooter is right. And SBML is right too because there are virtually no innocents … a few escape, many are burnt, mutilated or violated in some way.

Before the deluge. The BBBC reports that a “quarry incident” has resulted in devastating flooding in a Welsh village. This muddy brown water has run into the river Taff which environmental experts are assessing for harmful impacts. I would love know what happened before the deluge.
The thing to understand is that Ceuta is still in Morocco. So the hordes were invited in by the Spanish officials, in the sense that this time, the latest of thousands of attempts, the govt actually wants em in, with the collusion of the UK govt in Gibraltar, self governing aside as an irrelevance.
Now … cunning plan … as I’m using my gathered sshots tomorrow at OoL and Jstack, then this here, now, is a curtailed post.
There are two key versions of this on youtube which, imho, are the best going. One is the 1977 live version, showcasing not only Jackson Browne and his reddish brown hair (which incidentally was also my own colour in younger days, plus that of the ladies in Friday [4]) but also showcasing David Lindley on fiddle/violin … a marvellous version, a bit blurred visually now.
The other is below, a slightly shorter version with a (sadly) shorter outro and yet it’s the musically purer version, plus that wonderful album cover, a play on Rene Magritte, befitting these crazy times we’re in. Plus of course David Lindley’s haunting violin again.
JB was of course of the 60s/70s early Boomer left, as I later became, in turn, and the concerns then were warmongers, banksters, corporatists. The left were of course prone to violence themselves … Baader Meinhof, Weathermen, Bill Ayres, Obama later, Patty Hearst etc. etc. … they just did not wake up to the paucity of their ideological behaviour.
JB sings here of dreamers and other groups but could not have known about the horrible events westwide, culminating in the horror of Spain last night at Ceuta.
All of which could have been avoided, had people not turned their backs on their Maker and the Christian underpinnings of the west as it still was in the late 50s, a west the enemy is so desperate to kill off.
