I wrote to Moo: “One must always have a girl spooning and chatting behind you while riding a bike.”

For someone British, this is going to be almost bizarre … thick coastal US accent narrating about a British icon … I’m assuming it’s AI and to be fair, it’s not too bad, otherwise I’d not post it.
At the same time, three other shorts were there at YT, thumbnails to the left here. They’ll be run over the next few days.
The Triumph Herald is a small two-door car introduced by Standard-Triumph of Coventry in 1959 and made through to 1971. The body design was by the Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti, and the car was offered in saloon, convertible, coupé, estate and van models, with the latter marketed as the Triumph Courier.
Total Herald sales numbered well over half a million. The Triumph Vitesse, Spitfire and GT6 models are all based on modified Herald chassis and running gear with bolt-together bodies.
(1221) Afternoon all. (1257)
15. Best get some Brit focussed news in
14. From X, with wisdom
13. First the quote
I’m never comfortable with the word intelligence, as referring to IQ … seems fairly unintelligent to fixate on a number. As a leaver at the end of secondary, my parents had me professionally assessed and it was clear there were different categories … you could guess the ones I was highest in but I was fairly average on mechanical.
There are many university professors who are rated intelligence-high but I’ve found them useless in other spheres. Even were you to call me intelligent, I could list to you some gaping blank spots, esp. at a later age.
If we’re looking at the ability to think and anticipate … well yes, the quote makes sense, it makes a person initially reticent to engage and after that, the factor of experience, experiences too … increases. One negative in all of this is a certain coldness, either at times or nearly all the time. That can be wearing for friends … and wives. You might not be a loner, you might love company but the type of company you can stand … there’s the rub.
Taken to extremes, it’s this autistic thing I suppose.
12. Remembrance Day
11. There’s plenty of evidence
… maybe called “probable cause”. Proof’s going to be more difficult.
Sometimes, it’s better to just point to a film elsewhere, rather than bring in unwanted attention. More boring for a front page but a better experience overall.

I just Xed this: “I made a joke a few mins ago about Jayne being restricted … and now this below. So, which woke left globo psycho at X decided that anything Rupert was restricted? I’m sure it wasn’t Elon hisself.” was also nice to see Crissy Hinde there.
This slot is for either short documentaries or for the 26 min episodes of old shows of a certain type. So far … Sherlock, Peter Gunn, Mike Hammer, Philip Marlow, a few others. Try this one:
(0714) Morning all. Bleah out there. (0835)
5. One for X
So many factors in this whole ethnicity versus birthplace question … and all factors need allocating a certain number of points when determining if someone is likely to be “one of us”, yes? Remember … Philby was “one of us”. Key factor for me is “penchant for betrayal”.
People prefer an utter loony as Ohio gov to a perceived H-1B. Which in one sense is quite unfair on those with class and loyalty to their adoptive country. We’ve heard variations on “more English than the English”, there was also a sci-fi series Andromeda with a character Rev Bem (suggestive of Reverend, a kindly, religious man).
“Rev Bem is a devout member of The Way religion, but he is also a Magog, a savage bloodthirsty species feared throughout the universe. Wanting to distance himself from his barbaric kin, Rev has to control his baser instincts to kill other living beings for food…”
Much has been written on soc-med about the invading and replacing deathcult, the Davidians, Indian H-1Bs, other H-1Bs … demographics on the whole more loyal to their own at a pinch than to their adoptive land … and in country crisis, who revert to form, to their ethnicity, heritage, code. Code’s an interesting one … Laura Loomer was madmouthing Christians yesterday … yes, when the chips are down …
Then come the non-Davidians masquerading as Davidians (see Revelation 3:9). Also those maybe ethnically of the land but aberrant, even mutant in form. Then those marrying outside the nation but still within Europe. Then those copulating interracially.
To me, it’s a bit of “all the above” in the equation. With the Rev Bems, you’d have to be damned sure they’d not turn on your kind and savage you like deep state pollies, like black nobility, like certain dog breeds. Love conquers all? Not quite. There are also those claiming to be ✝️ian but are not, then those who are so … in the soul, of the Word, in consistent behaviour. Fanatics?
Should there still be defence forces, well equipped and trained, 5-7% of govt revenue, on the side of heritage-nation-loyalty, not on the side of the deep state globo-psychos, the nationless, not more loyal to the civil service cultists?
Many factors to resolve, yes?

3. Food for thought
2. DAD at 1536
a) France. In a rare display of cross-party unity on Wednesday, 458 MPs voted against the revenue section of the budget, with none in favour and two abstentions. The rejection – mirroring last year’s budget deadlock – effectively ended the Assembly’s first reading, preventing MPs from debating the spending provisions, which had already been rejected in committee. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu’s office said negotiations would resume in December, after the Senate had examined the government’s original proposals.
b) A leading leftist mayor in France has called on the government to outlaw public debate of the “Great Replacement”, thereby potentially turning large sections of the native population into thought criminals.
c) Germany has become the latest country hit by the wave of far-left unrest sweeping Western Europe, with Frankfurt descending into looting and arson. Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck said up to 1,500 people were involved in the destruction, predominantly of immigrant background, while AfD leaders warned of ‘French conditions’.
d) Poland. Donald Tusk has refused to retreat over Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal crisis, declaring that ‘there can be no compromise’ as criticism closes in from both the right and his own coalition. The Parliamentary Council denounced Friday’s events as an ‘unlawful coup’, while PSL and Poland 2050 turned to President Karol Nawrocki in search of a way out.
e) The UK. Through the internet a couple of days ago, like a signal from another galaxy, there crackled a social-media message from the guiding force of our new government. The fuzziness eventually cleared to show a big-fringed, oblong head with wonky mouth, rings under its eyes and a spittle-fluffed voice. Earthlings of Britain, behold your overlord, Ed Miliband.
Foreign Secretary Miliband [referred to as Mr. Bean in the article] had taken to X to say we should grovel for forgiveness for transatlantic slavery. The fact that the Royal Navy heroically prevented that wicked trade in the 19th century went unmentioned by Red Ed.
At 0421 GMT right now, maybe an hour till DAD drop, X is full of American copy, as it should be … their evening, our night time sleepy byes, just before dawn. Therefore, what is below is mainly from that scenario.(0441) Cunning plan is second kip, get back here around 0830. (0505)
Early sitrep
No, I don’t think much of performative Patrick Christie, like his Farage handler at GB News … and yes he makes a good point here:
The bit which stands out for me is “Advice from …”
(1548) As it was in the old days:
Remember, remember, the 5th of November …
27. Eva Vlaar
26. This starts with DAD
Although the UK economy is in dire straits, the EU is even worse. At the beginning of November the exchange rate of the Euro and Pound Stirling was 1.16. All month it was slowly climbing; today it reached 1.2.
… but I’ve been planning to mention this => to readers overall, here and at the other outposts. My first criterion for posting a comment is the link(s) (one or more) … the second is the more that it’s like a mini-essay. Sometimes, a comment is just meant to be “commenty”.
It’s not an exact science. Bias towards our main four or five? Well yes, to those most regular … regular writers you might say. But others are regular too, not so much with links. I do take it as it comes. Sometimes, if it seems one chap(or chapess) has not appeared in a post for awhile, I need to redress that.
DAD’s above was because I’d been through comments, his was the one stuck out at NOWP before closing for Bonfire Night, so I signposted it above. As I say, not an exact science and there’s no bias against any of us … plus I struggle to cope these days.
25. The deshingled (hopefully) IYE
Dust off the tin-foil hats and ponder this, if you will.
Donny’s behaviour in this second term has differed so strongly, imho, since his first that I have wondered for sometime whether he was a Trojan horse inserted into the Republican Party to bring about either its destruction or damage it enough so that it would take years to repair it. Bear in mind Donny was formerly a Democrat supporter. Whether this was with Donny’s knowledge or agreement, notwithstanding.
🤔
Today I came across this.

Make of that what you will.
24. Steve on Nick Sortor on Ron deS
Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF on Republicans for SQUANDERING our TWO YEAR TRIFECTA — ESPECIALLY on deportations
“Why haven’t we STRIPPED JURISDICTION from the federal courts over deportation cases?!”
“Why haven’t we done IMMIGRATION?! Shut off H1B visas! Why haven’t we CODIFIED Trump’s immigration executive orders? There’s SO MANY THINGS that could have been done. They didn’t even ATTEMPT it, Laura.”
“A lot of our voters who STAYED HOME. They stayed home because they were FRUSTRATED with the lack of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate.”
Senate Republicans had everything they needed to LOCK IN conservative immigration policy for a GENERATION. They didn’t even TRY.
23. And then there’s the little matter of Britain
… and hair-brained schemes which are not going to help renters in the least:
22. Europe also has issues
21. Might be relevant to the Lear 60, might not
20. One man is looking good to MAGA though
… in terms of 2028 (wife though is a WEFer):
19. Moo corner
18. Voting fraud plus the Senate
17. Trump and the midterms
This from Japan:
16. JD Vance
There’s been considerable murmuring about JDV and his reaction after meeting with DJT. The most extreme position I’ve seen was calling him a Pence. The average position was that they don’t know if he can be trusted. Some still back Rubio but he’s a neocon mired by the less than spectacular end to the pre-midterms Iran situation.
Going to need the first half of the afternoon off for RL, so here’s a film … yes, we’ve seen it.
Spoilers below:
“John Payne stars in “Kansas City Confidential,” a 1952 noir also starring Preston Foster, Colleen Gray, Jack Elam, Neville Brand and Lee Van Cleef.
Payne is Joe Rolfe, a WW II vet who delivers flowers for a living. He finds himself accused of a spectacular robbery of $1.2 million because the thieves used a truck like his as their escape vehicle.
With the help of a buddy, he finds out that a criminal has split town suddenly for Mexico, and he goes there to locate the man and hopefully clear his own name.
What he doesn’t realize is that there were four thieves, and all of them wore masks to shield their identities from one another. When the man he’s tracking is killed, Joe assumes his identity and goes to the place where the other thieves are supposed to await further instructions from their boss.
Phil Karlson directed this good noir, which has an excellent cast that includes a favorite actress of mine, the lovely Coleen Gray as an ex-cop’s daughter. She shows up at the locale to surprise her dad (Preston Foster), who is actually the mastermind of the heist.
Like any actor who worked for 20th Century Fox, John Payne had to be versatile, and he was. Here he plays a rough-around-the-edges war hero who has to survive among thieves by being tougher than they are. The man known as “The Singing Tyrone Power” at Fox pulls it off.
A handsome leading man, here Payne steps into John Garfield territory with ease. Elam, van Cleef and Brand are as mean and low-down as you can get, and the film gets quite violent at times.
The print I saw was very grainy; this wasn’t a studio B movie but one made on the cheap, though the film was distributed by UA. However, it stands up very well next to other noirs of that era.”
