Thursday [16 till close of play]

(1441) Afternoon all.

 

22. This follows on from n16 about tipping in restaurants

These below are more real for those in Britain:


During 50s and into the 60s, by and large, a family did not even think of eating out, except for diners and drive-ins in the States and chippies here, also Wimpy from the 50s. Chippies were exempt from rationing by the way.

I have a largish fillet of Scottish salmon here for tomorrow evening, trad fish n chips night, the chips are here ready to oven fry, the side of concasse is ready. How much does it cost me? Fillet £3.05, chips about £0.90, concasse … phew, who knows? Max £1.50 for that portion. Add herbs and bits … I’d say £5.60 the lot … and I’m buying premium and getting it delivered. And a full plate after all that. And cooked exactly right.

Now to Everywoman, Jen, litmus test of Britain imho:


Quite. When I was about 16, I was working in a chippy in the summer, doing the burgers, staff were plentiful, people knew of us, drove for miles … it cost the owner more, also so many people’s wages but there was a definite buzz to the place.

Following year, I remember his name … Gerlach … he’d bought the shop and now started the economies … inc. staff. Business fell away. I resigned, others did too. Insane.

17. Old article, have LEDs apologised yet for their behaviour?


16. For a start, Brits and Americans have different approaches to tipping

In Britain, we used to tip if the service was good … mine ranged from 10% if not fab to 25% if it was very good. No tip if shocking, maybe more if the girl was assiduous BUT only if I could be sure it went to her, not to some group pool. I say ‘used to’ as I’ve not eaten out in Britain since maybe 1994.

In America, I realise the corporate greed game pays waiting staff pathetically, making it imperative they pick up tips no matter how the service is. This below though is well out of order … I simply would not enter that place, end of. Besides, I can cook better than medium level places at home.


Becca’s right here. Attitude is everything … attitude of all parties involved. I’d vastly prefer to invite her to my place, serve maybe tournedos rossini as the main, who knows about the starters, soup and dessert, cheeseboard. Then take her out to a concert, whatever, top of a tower for drinks. Still restaurant price that evening, but on things that are enjoyable.

Liz Truss covered some of the Blair agenda on Talk Radio this morning, IYE. He’s responsible for the creation of a Supreme Court as well, a move championed by those bloodsuckers in the legal profession. Turning to ‘The Third Way’, it was Blair’s mentor Anthony Giddens who wrote a book on it, subtitled: The Renewal of Social Democracy. In it he introduces the idea of ‘the cosmopolitan nation’ and ‘cultural pluralism’. The book was published in 1998 and lays the groundwork for a secret policy of mass uncontrolled immigration; a policy which, according to Andrew Neather, would ‘rub the Right’s noses in diversity’..

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-1249797/Labour-threw-open-doors-mass-migration-secret-plot-make-multicultural-UK.html

I read Gidden’s book in 2000 and that’s when I ceased voting Labour. The workers’ party became the migrants’ party and in so doing threw the folk who built the movement under the bus. It has evolved to a point of such hatred toward the indigenous white population it wants us minoritized in every corner of our land, asap. All I can say is hatred works both ways.

14. Feminazism


13. The Woke juggernaut rolls on


12. As the plan is here

… so it is downunder … all over the west in fact.


11. Over on X itself

Thur Mat one

 

To a point, we’re adrift, in this punditry biz, on a shifting sea of new events, things available, then not, until the next wave comes along. Fighting it by insisting on a rigid format is noble … people seem to like these shorts between 0730 and 0930 … but if there are no good ones available, then what does one run?

I was always eventually going to return to Peter Gunn, just not as soon as this. Currently, there are many Simon Templars, plus I could find a few Howard Sherlock Holmeses to be going on with … let’s see what happens.

I do preview these episodes, skim through … sometimes the resolution is the culprit, sometimes a dull episode. This one seems intriguing.

Thursday [6 to 10]

10. Moo corner


9. Avoid folic acid


8. The word “modern” is taking on a pejorative tone

I don’t generally quote this lady as she’s a bit OTT for mine. I essentially agree with the principles though.


Christy O was the one whose youtubes I was running, plus Nola Girl … Christy O in particular went on to marry and have four children, which essentially took her from the net. She was no shrinking violet and was blackballed many times by feminazis and feminazi groups, even leftwing men. It’s a good sign, sadly, that one is on the right track.

Thursday [1 to 5]

(0733) Morning all … took awhile to get the preparations done. The main post is up at OoL and Jstack. Sun’s just come out. (0735)

 

5. “Community Cohesion Strategy”


4. Database on citizens


3. DAD at 1499

a) France. Macron asks EU to relax energy and climate rules to ease soaring fuel prices.

The French president wants the European Commission to delay a law that would fine oil and gas companies which fail to report methane emissions.

b) France considers extending legal abortion deadline past 14 weeks.

France’s Health Ministry has proposed extending abortion limits beyond 14 weeks and eliminating conscience protections for healthcare workers who object to performing abortions.

[DAD – This is exactly what we said would happen.]

c) UK. Labour loses control as undetected small boats reach Kent coast.

The Labour government faces criticism after a migrant boat carrying about 10 people landed undetected in Kent, with only five detained while others escaped.

d) UK. And the Lord might have said ‘Let there be a plague of bedbugs on the Guardian’. Well it seems that another plague has descended, not on the Egyptians this time but on the ‘journalists’ of the notoriously Israel hating Guardian newspaper.

Apparently according to GB news the Guardian building is infested by bedbugs.

e) Serco accidentally ‘Spill the beans’.

2. There are not one but two long articles I’ve saved

… on children of school and college age today, their pig ignorance of any major field except snapchat, tiktok etc. There’s even a biblical reference somewhere to that time when information will be everywhere, at call … yet people will know nothing important.

Add to that behaviours such as sicko sex, sex instead of love, drugs, depression, violence, broken families, often with just single mothers who are wholly inadequate for boys after about 8, plus no good father figure for girls.

What must be the inevitable result, esp. if there is a mass invasion of alien hordes? Them have been goading, pushing for mass conflagration for decades, wanting mass slaughter any which way.

How possible? Alien cultures undercutting Christendom, even as lip service, appalling quality of teaching, of parenting, media, medicine, justice, plus an enemy govt committed to destroying the society. Plus the economy, people in penury or on benefits from those in penury.

Sustainable?

a. Centre for Information Defence – or if you prefer the Ministry of Truth.

Alison Pearson (née Lobbett; born 22 July 1960) is correct about the society she grew up in. I’m slightly older so we both experienced the high trust society she speaks of – it was also highly coherent … (plus video of crash over at 1500 ….)

21. It’s actually Thurs morn

… but running it here as it’s copied and there are links from Andrew Bridgen:

In New Zealand, where 94.7% of the eligible population is fully vaccinated, they experienced a *3,203% spike in excess deaths* compared to 2020, with 5,285 excess deaths recorded in a 49-week period in 2022. Whistleblower Barry Young released the NZ Government record level data which recorded the doses dates and deaths following the Covid shots being administered . Barry Young is being prosecuted by the Crown for making the data public and exposing the Covid jabs crime. The article contrasts these high mortality claims with evidence that the government granted over 11,000 vaccine exemptions to key staff and elites while enforcing mandates on the general public, leading to accusations of hypocrisy by former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s administration. https://substack.com/@lionessofjudah/note/p-138470774?r=fhqlu https://lionessofjudah.substack.com/p/devastating-fully-vaxxed-new-zealand

(1159) Almost afternoon, chaps and chapesses. I have a visitor today, so there is this post, then a film at 1330. See you after that. (1159)

12. It’s a tale of heroes

… but also heroines. You know my hobbyhorse on these things … the men lead the way, physically, the ladies are right in there making sure it’s known about. Sadly, half the women in the country have succumbed to the Woke mind virus and a substantial number of beta yet violent left males too.
