MIGRANTS REBUILD CAMP ON CEUTA BEACH DAYS AFTER CLEARANCE Days after Spanish authorities tried to clear Ceuta’s Trampolín beach, moving migrants to specialist centres and temporary camps, the settlement is back.
Footage shows men rebuilding makeshift huts across the sand, hauling in branches, cardboard and sheeting to throw up new shelters, right in the middle of the beach. As the clip’s narrator puts it, instead of numbers dropping, they’re gathering materials to build even more.
This is the reality behind Madrid’s “we’re handling it.” Clear the beach, and within days it’s rebuilt, hut by hut. A tiny enclave overwhelmed, its authorities going in circles, while the government insists everything is under control. It plainly isn’t. Credit: @Visegrad24
Cunning plan is, after the Peter Gunn … Fido’s Alleyn radio play, coz it’s YT … plus there’s another Paul Temple up already on that page … then Fido’s Christie radio play (multiple titles archive) tomorrow … Sittaford to be exact … but you can decide to go for whichever radio play you like on that menu. And thus to today:
Now I do understand that I’m in the doghouse with certain readers at the moment but as I’ve never learnt when to shut it … I’ll say this anyway …
… I was never really enamoured of Patrick Malahide’s Alleyn in the visual play … just thought the whispering voice a tad annoying … but there we are. I suspect I have this new condition called Asparagus Syndrome, in which the victim suffers from a total inability to shut the gob, especially if something’s simply crying out to be said. 😎
By what looks like a lady on Quora, no particular claim to medical expertise:
“When a 70-year-old marathoner suddenly “falls off a cliff” at 82, it seems their healthy habits failed them. In reality, this rapid decline is the direct result of those habits.
In gerontology, this is known as the compression of morbidity. Unhealthy people often experience a slow, agonizing decline starting in their 50s or 60s, spending decades managing chronic diseases. People with excellent habits delay serious illness for so long that they eventually hit a hard biological wall, compressing all their physical decline into a brief, dramatic window at the very end of their lifespan.
This sudden crash is driven by homeostenosis, which is the age-related loss of physiological reserve. In youth, human organ systems have massive redundant capacity. If a 30-year-old gets a severe flu, their body has the shock absorbers to bounce back. By age 85, even in a perfectly healthy person, the heart, kidneys, and immune system operate near their maximum capacity just to maintain normal resting homeostasis. Because there is zero reserve left, a minor stressor—like a urinary tract infection, a change in medication, or a minor fall—can trigger a catastrophic cascading failure across multiple organ systems.
Beneath this system-wide fragility is a hard cellular limit. No amount of exercise or nutrition can stop cellular senescence.
Human cells can only divide a finite number of times, a boundary known as the Hayflick limit. Every time a cell replicates, the protective caps at the ends of its chromosomes, called telomeres, get slightly shorter. Once those telomeres degrade, the cell enters senescence, refusing to divide and instead secreting inflammatory markers that damage surrounding tissue. Over decades, this microscopic damage accumulates until entire organs lose the ability to repair themselves.
Evolutionary biology offers the final piece of the puzzle through antagonistic pleiotropy. The human genetic blueprint prioritizes traits that guarantee survival and reproduction up to about age 50. After humans pass their child-rearing usefulness, natural selection stops optimizing for tissue repair. The genetic instructions simply run out. A lifetime of healthy habits maximizes a person’s potential within that biological blueprint, allowing them to coast smoothly to the very edge of the map, but it cannot redraw the map itself.”

7. There’s one at NOWP by Steve
And my initial attitude is that, not knowing occident observer at all, this could be anything … it could be a Tory, Labour, Libdem, Green, Reform or Restore view. Its value comes down to your own tribal predilection of that fabulous beast “the Independent observer” (so many centrists fully believe they are truly “Independent”).
In some ways, this makes a clearly biased source, e.g. South Front as Russian govt friendly, far easier to assess. It’s the trumpeting “Independence” claimant who is the problem, as he/she often accompanies it with vehemence on this sacred cow or that.
To specifics and OO opens with this:
That’s NOT opaque to the ferreter … it’s all upfront … unlike Leah … but that still needs qualifying:
Mark Collett, as far as I can remember, is not down on Malsi as such but rather on specific ethnicities and nations, e.g. Sikap, Silamos et al. He was, I think, EDL, maybe BNP before that but don’t quote me on it, married, I think, to Laura Towler, Yorks lass (not her real surname so she said).
Which brings me to the need for that extra knowledge from long dealings with something. MC and crew seem down on TR, seeing him as Jewish lobby. Therefore no surprise to see this:
There’s obviously cross-Pond communication here. Now, before even reading the Reform/Restore piece, whilst I think we’ll get an anti Znist angle, does that actually mean proMalsi? We’d need to read it. Also, don’t forget the England v Britain debate either. Methinks we’ve got around that by running the four home country flags alongside the Union Flag … each with its adherents.
I would worry about anyone who saw a Welsh and a Union flag, in Wales, and was down on that. Yes, I was Witanagemot around 2006/7 but I do feel the five flag solution works.
All right, I’ve read it and it’s very nationalist or ethnat. My own alignment is a bit more centrist than Zoomer ethnat … the example I give is the Estonian coming here the right way, jumping through hoops fifty years ago, quite assimilated, working for Britain. My view is … well, he’s western or European … and there are two questions.
Firstly, is he British/English/whatever? Answer … no. Is he a bona fide citizen after this long, a thinking Brit? In short, does he belong here? I’d say why not? As long as he’s not a crim.
But of course, there are those who would vehemently disagree.
Yes, it’s the DM, so of course they’re obsessed with house prices and other middle class status indicators, but even so it would seem the politics of envy is rolling up its sleeves and donning latex gloves in search of more pennies and the enthusiastic applause of it’s phocine sycophants.
a) Marseille: Fighting Crime With Couscous and Karaoke. Marseille’s Socialist mayor prioritises karaoke and festivals while crack consumption surges and residents fear open-air drug use near homes and businesses.
b) This is what the streets of Ceuta look like at night. Would you go out? Would you let your wife, your mother, your sister, or your daughter go out alone? Would you let your children go to school? Well, it’s been like this for 30 days, and the government is doing absolutely nothing.
c) Historic Australian victory: One Nation Party takes WA “safe” state seat from Labour with thumping win and 39% primary vote.

Wonder what Professor Charles Kelly, Lady Thirlwall’s husband thinks about his wife being tasked with justifying witchcraft and ignoring things like antibiotic resistant pathogens found in Countess of Chester (pseudonomas) when it’s his specialism? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11060770/
No idea what that one’s about but you might have.
3. Some sort of op ed
John D wrote, at OoL: “Oi! As someone who is almost 89 and still driving, don’t write off everyone who has reached a certain birthday.”
That’s similar to item 17 yesterday about Boomers and the young bucks snapping at their heels. It also shows that it’s possible for an admin at a site to point out anomalies without “sky is falling” overreaction. Something either IS so or it’s an a-priori interpretation based on tribal loyalty … “tribe” here meaning on any grounds, e.g. sex.
Last evening, the Paul Temple I was listening to, trying to create some downtime to relax, had PT say to Steve (interesting feminist name) that women were extraordinary (or some such name), to which Steve took exception and Sir Graham walked in at that point, Steve tried to co-opt Sir G, to which he replied that he was not entering into this argument (between hubby and wife).
One can make the division about anything at all if wanting to prise a fissure into a chasm and certain groups with influence globally do just that. It’s possible to quote someone “we’re” quite against as “enemy”, should that person say something we agree with (the clock right twice a day argument) …for example:
Which brings in the issue of consistency as well as the nature of the division itself. It’s a minefield. And yet another aspect is allowing personal leanings to descend into emotion, esp. anger, when on an investigation depending on dispassionate heads to able to pick up on anomalies, esp. on one’s own side.
Which brings us to that point made by Fido on looking for “common ground”. Which in itself comes back to the ole “80-20” point … that at best, two people, two sides, are going to, at best, agree on 80% and the remaining 20% are ranked, prioritised, in order of decreasing compatibility … we’re speaking here of “deal-breaking” red lines.
The person sending me the Chere Denise series had reservations over some things CD was saying, putting it down to age again. At what point would it become a deal-breaker? Similarly or the opposite with Erika Frantzve Kirk … despite CO’s and TC’s interesting behaviour and strange (to us) positions … that does not, by definition, exonerate EFK herself on many points, inc. Romania, inc. all the anomalies, aling with Shapiro.
This was the case with Colin Ross’s taking down of the global “psychiatric community”. So what does Wiki do? Spends the first part taking down Colin Ross on his own general whackjobbery. Which still does not negate Sid Gottlieb, Jolyon West nor Ewen Cameron, Selwyn Leeks.
In fact, an “independent” (often self-styled) might look at all this and say “they’re both as bad as each other”. They might not be though. One might be far worse in terms of ongoing damage done, as distinct from mere eccentricity.
Think you get the overall idea of this post item.
