Thursday [6 to 10]

(0729) Moving to checking now and then mode for the day, preparations underway for today’s RL doings. (0729)

Thursday [2 to 5]

(0629) Cunning plan, chaps and chapesses, was to do 1 to 10 plus a short feature before 0800, then finish up for the day. The difference between last week’s medical doings and today’s is that this one today might get nasty later … maybe not. So, let’s just say unsettled. Hoping you’re holding up where you are … wall to wall poisoned cloud cover and light rain day. (0655)

3. The whole tacky Merkel affair


2. DAD at 1387

a) The French minister for education, Édouard Geffray, has made headlines following a sensational statement: putting an end to decades of laxity in this area, he has announced that spelling, grammar, and syntax will henceforth be fully taken into account when marking papers for the final-year exams, the Brevet and the Baccalaureate, taken by all young French people aged 15–18.

b) France has the European Union’s most overcrowded prisons. Foreign nationals account for about a quarter of inmates — around three times their share of the country’s population.

c) UK Eases Sanctions Regime on Russia, [but] allowing Jet Fuel Imports, while bannning domestic drilling.

d) Is Europe Ending Up as One Big No-Go Zone? Given the enormity of the problem, the authors of the report had to limit their focus to “seven EU countries where no-go zones are most reported….

e) Critics, led especially by the Patriots group in the European Parliament, dismissed it (the Merkel award) as “a distinction Brussels invented to decorate itself….”

(JH: There’s also a DAD brought “Sam” across at 1387:1.)

That Scottish football game

Anyone who follows the football of these isles will already know all about this … perhaps anyone outside these isles might not.


There was a title game between Celtic and Hearts teams for the Premiership and, with 30 seconds of regular time left, Celtic were 3-1 up. Fairly straightforward victory, you’d think. Celtic fans invaded the pitch, bringing the game to a (temporary) stop. The refereee should have called a halt until the pitch was cleared and then …

… well, that’s the thing … what then? The ref called the game “ended”, not “abandoned”

A freelance Scot at Lord Toby’s site writes, this morning:

“Hearts have protested about the treatment of their team and staff and the “menacing atmosphere” they had to endure. They have also called for “the strongest possible action to protect player safety and the integrity of the Scottish game”.

The last part of that sentence may be a coded signal that they do not accept the result and are putting the SPFL on notice. The police are investigating the allegations of assault.”

Yes, dear reader, the Celtic crowd started menacing and assaulting the Hearts players on the pitch … during the game.

“In response, the SFPL has insisted the game was ended appropriately and have tweeted its congratulations to Celtic. The league has stressed that the referee said the game was ended, not abandoned, and it has not been recorded as such. A report will be submitted, but I’d be surprised if the SPFL deviates from this position now.”

And more to the point:

“Here is the problem: referees cannot simply end the game early. The exact wording of the law is “additional time may be added but not reduced”. If a referee is forced to curtail a match before time, for whatever reason (weather, floodlight failure, medical emergency, violence) the game has not been ended but abandoned.

Thus, Celtic vs Hearts was not ended naturally, but abandoned, unnaturally, due to a pitch invasion by home fans. According to SPFL rules, the consequence of that is a victory for the opposition, or a replay.”

Interestingly for me, last night I was watching that McEnroe incident when he defaulted at the Australian Open tennis for “code violations” (1990). At his fourth violation for bad manners, he was dismissed from the game. He had calculated that he had one violation left to go but the Tennis Federation had reduced it to three before this game and not “informed him”. That was it.

Back to the Hearts v Celtic thing … the SPFL had acted outside its own rules, rules which were there for a reason. To an English temperament, this was highly unfair, outrageous in fact, more FIFA than British, esp. English.

But this was Scotland, warrnt it? This was where a Moose Limb was shoved in as FM, where Sturgeon had plans that every Scottish child would have a State Mentor, far worse than in the former USSR. It’s ingrained bullying, as in English Public Schools of yore and fear … it doth rule.

Entrenched enforcement of the unfair.

For those outside this culture, a good idea can be had by watching Michael Palin’s school bully episode. With an edge of course, because this is Scotland in this case … a special kind of bullying. Not American military college “hazing”.

Yet another complication is that the worst rivalry in Scottish football is Celtic v Rangers, which is basically Micks versus proddy boys or Catholics v Protestants, which is also behind the Northern Irish “Troubles”, the bombings and shootings. History tells us that the Scots had quite an influence on Northern Ireland.

Throughout my upbringing, the Catholics were seen as rough and not given to non-violent methods … the Protestants had to counter that somehow. Much of Australia was, before the invasion, Irish Catholic, e.g. Ned Kelly. It was, in fact, behind England v Oz Test Matches and the Rodney Marsh style “sledging”, though I’m not sure he was Catholic.

Also, you may have heard of the violence of nuns on children (watch The Blues Bros).

So let’s just say there’s nothing unusual in any of this. Which does not make it right. Injustice in the past four decades or so has become entrenched … see Farage’s indifference to pack raped girls and Rupert taking up their case.

Wednesday [16 till close of play]

(1711) Evening all. Tomorrow is another med day from maybe 10 a.m. to who knows when? No guaranteeing my condition after 5 p.m. Certainly planning some early blogging but no later scheduled posts (well maybe a film). Reason is we need to be up to speed at this place, that’s our stock in trade, things happen during the day, no point scheduling.

 

22. For those on the Planet Zog

… who missed it altogether:


21. Rebecca Shepherd

What chance a demure lady as a candidate for a Westminster seat? Well she’s not so demure … she was seen out and about talking to locals. Yes, there is the plumber for Reform, nowt agin him but this Rebecca does not seem the type.

Then I thought … you know what? She’s soooo different to a standard pollie, esp. to Burnham … well, I like her, wish her well. And Rupert obviously sees one from his own party with him at Westminster … it might work. He likes a lady and I’m thinking not in a Massie-Boebert way.

Wed Mat

 

“Telephone technician Mal Granger, with knowledge of telephones and electronics, is hired by gangster Vince Walters to expand Walters’ legitimate business that is a front for an illegal bookmaking operation. The expansion is a great success, and Granger also develops a better system for gathering information at racetracks. Granger wants a cut of the action and threatens to leave unless Walters makes him a 20% partner. Walters accedes to the demand.

When Walters tries to collect from a bookie, the bookie kills first Walters, then himself. Granger takes control of the wire service and the racket, making him a target for Lieutenant Wright of the Los Angeles police.

East Coast mobster Larry Mason is sent by boss Carl Stephans to persuade Granger to join his syndicate. Granger and Mason’s wife Gail are attracted to each other……..”

And so on.

15. The Ukraine


14. What we have below here … in 12 and 13

… is the added and in fact underlying issue of the two young women involved. One is clearly patriotic to her country, people, roots, whilst the other is a traitress, witting or unwitting.

Look at her story, this Frostadottir. I had a fair bit to do with Iceland from the 90s till just past the mid 2000s, a year into my N.O. blogging. In short … I fell out with not only the editor of Iceland Review but with various authors … all girls, all as Woke as communists, totally intolerant of their own history and culture.

I’d been there, physically, in Iceland by the way.

Same old story … education now politically correct … jump some decades and here’s this bint Frottasdottir, somehow PM of the country … are there no men?

Short answer … no. And the teachers at school and in tertiary? Ditto … Woke insane. Heavy on DEI flooding.

This next below won’t appear in the OoL and Jstack versions in expanded form … it only expands on WP.

13. The sheer scale of it is the main issue [two]


12. The sheer scale of it is the main issue [one]


11. EU excrescence

“Von der Leyen is destroying the European industry and making farmers dependent on imported fertilizers

Reject the Green Deal, ETS, and carbon tax, because sooner or later you will be held accountable

Through the Green Deal, fertilizer prices have risen by 70 percentage points over the last two years. Let the European Commission tell us who profited from this! You are fighting Russia, yet according to Eurostat data, Russia accounts for about 30% of fertilizer imports to the European Union.

You are fighting the carbon footprint, yet you are relying on fertilizer imports from across seven mountains and across seven seas, instead of supporting fertilizer production right here, on-site, in Europe. Farmers and all consumers are footing the bill for all of this.

The best part is that some of my predecessors said that the ETS should be rejected, but after all, it was you who voted to introduce this ETS. You are simply making fools of people!”

Wednesday [6 to 10]

(0657) Organisational things … tomorrow, for me, is the follow up to last week’s med doings, so up in the air as to timing, as part of that is a MutR visit … still not timeset. So blogging might be iffy tomorrow after Thurs 10. More later today on that. (0728)

8. Might be entirely speculative, no hard evidence

… I’m thinking so but that’s my bias being confirmed:


7. This adorable lady is new to the politics

… so naturally supports Reform, the respectable grandmothers’ choice coz Nige is so cute, every mama’s son. You see where I’m going here.


6. Steve corner

a. After a fake asylum seeker flashed a throat-cutting gesture, local Dutch people threw flares at the asylum center in Loosdrecht, the Netherlands. Is it the start of the Dutch Spring? A summer of discontent? Let’s hope this escalates into a popular revolt against diversity.
