20. Things connected with Liverpool are really working well atm … not
19. Moo corner
… just love those motors.
18. The Donald takes a stand?
17. Sometime back, Sophie on X said monsters are real and they look like people
… Sarah said monsters must not be allowed to roam the earth. This below I thought at first was Maria Bowtell, Restore councillor … but then I took a closer look. Can I tell a monster from a human? Not always, esp. if younger. Yes … eyes, movements, facial gestures … but also deportment. Continued under the sshot….
Anyone remember that wedding where the bride and party were all in green and they were all walking in one direction? All were slightly bent forward, heads forward in predator manner I mean and they were moving deliberately and swiftly … nothing light and easy, nothing feminine … it was all very masculine, like a gang.
Most offputting but at least easily apparent. Even if Brummies had been able to see the monstrousness of this one above, how could she be stopped?
16. All very ra-ra-ra, that’s the stuff to give the troops
… noble sentiments, all:
Screenshot
… but it’s not going alter anything.
Blackpilling is “oh woe is us, we’re doomed” and while it’s far more realistic, given how the baddies, the loony left and normies are … it can’t be countenanced … so therefore, the thinking needs to be more lateral. For example, if the MSM is the issue, then there need to be ways of taking it down, whilst cyber still develops new workarounds … just an idea, a thought.
Now this “shimmy” thing, was curious … but apparently, we must not do it 11 years earlier:
Well of course, upright citizen that I am … you’d never catch me playing the shimmy:
Now I admit, dear shimmiers, that there’s a much hotter version with Atticus Jazz … but just what is this shimmying?
Tomorrow morning, after the first polit post, I’ll be running two zydeco numbers and in the first, with a male and female instructor, in the last minute, they break from jitterbug into a few seconds of shimmying.
… if you’re nowt but a potty-mouthed woke loony leftist, the peeps gonna tell ya: “We’re not gonna take it anymore!”
11. Dutch East India Company
When the Dutch East India Company (VOC) surrendered Formosa (Taiwan) to the Ming loyalist commander Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong) in February 1662 after the Siege of Fort Zeelandia, many Dutch soldiers and officials were permitted to leave for Batavia (Jakarta), but several Dutch women and children were captured, enslaved, or kept behind….
For nearly four decades, the Dutch East India Company had controlled parts of Taiwan, then known to Europeans as Formosa. That ended when the Ming loyalist commander Zheng Chenggong, better known as Koxinga, brought a massive force against the Dutch stronghold of Fort Zeelandia.
After a nine-month siege, the Dutch surrendered.
The agreement allowed the surviving garrison and civilians inside the fort to leave.
But not everyone was there to be rescued.
During the fighting, Dutch families elsewhere had already fallen into Koxinga’s hands. Dutch accounts describe male prisoners being executed and surviving women and children being held captive.
Among them was the family of missionary Antonius Hambroek.
Koxinga sent Hambroek to Fort Zeelandia with an ultimatum: persuade the Dutch to surrender or face death.
Two of Hambroek’s daughters were safely inside the fort.
He could have remained with them.
Instead, he reportedly urged the defenders to continue resisting and returned to captivity, knowing what awaited him.
He was executed.
His wife and children remained prisoners.
One of his teenage daughters was taken as a concubine by Koxinga himself. Other captured Dutch women were distributed among commanders or soldiers as wives and concubines.
Their individual names largely disappear from the story.
Years passed.
In 1684, more than two decades after the Dutch surrender, reports indicated that some of these women were still living in captivity. An effort to arrange their release came to nothing.
Histories of colonial Taiwan usually remember 1662 as the year Koxinga expelled the Dutch.
But military victories look very different when told through the women left behind.
7. What can be done when the fraud is beyond prima facie
… and is rampant at ALL levels, right to the top. At her own state level, there is footage of Kathleen Hobbs walking through the ballot room late, the Demonrat candidate for Governor, her own election overseen by herself. But it was state, not federal. Even at federal level, Presidential, same people running it.
Why does Donny not arrest all the “probable cause” miscreants, at least until it gets bipartisan trial? What game is Donny playing?
6. James Alexander at Ep-friend Lord Toby’s
Elon Musk, in a brief exchange he had this summer with Zanny Minton Beddoes (PPE, Harvard, IMF, Bilderberg amongst her credentials, or should I say dredentials), the editor of the Economist. Whatever one thinks of Musk, here he talks sense. I cut out some of the cross-talk, sentence-collapsing and repetition.
BEDDOES. You support not just the populist Right, but the far Right, in fact very fringe parties in some countries.
MUSK. No, I support the normal people.
BEDDOES. Okay.
MUSK. What you call the far Right, falsely…
BEDDOES. You think is the normal person.
MUSK. Literally, you could go back 10 or 15 years, and these policies were completely normal. In fact…
BEDDOES. I’m not sure…
MUSK. Take a speech from Obama and Hillary, and then go to someone, who’s on what I call the lunatic Left, and [show them it and] say, ‘What do you think of the speech by Trump?’ [They would say] ‘Like, oh wow, he’s the worst person ever.’ [To which you could say] ‘Actually, that was a speech by Obama’ or ‘Actually, that was a speech by Hillary’.
BEDDOES. [Tries a non sequitur on him] I agree that the centre of gravity in this country has shifted, certainly in the Democratic party, but that’s not what I’m talking about…
MUSK. It’s just normal people, and here are the principles and tell me which of these sound terrible: that we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending? Which of those three are far Right? I want to admonish you and the media for the absurd characterisation of the far Right. It is false, misleading and nonsense.

5. It’s not a feted text
… and yet, afa I can see, it’s very well researched and it lists receipts:
One reason I keep it around for loo visiting etc. is that it is hardback and most of my other texts are either paperback and falling apart, boring or both.
Was delighted to see much of that info, plus more, included here:
There is a lot of reading there if you’re prepared to follow the various links … which does put it at odds somewhat with IYE’s MM => classic case of hey … let’s lay it all on the table, everything we have … step back, sip our beverage and think it through.

3. After that latest monstrosity they released
2. DAD at 1514
a) England. Manchester City: A Scandal That Could Bring Down Andy Burnham? Abu Dhabi helped rebuild Manchester, but on what terms? Now its football club’s guilty verdict threatens the man who took the credit as further revelations about his involvement emerge.
b) France. ‘We could have had a massacre’ – French MEP demands attempted murder charge after protesters burn police station and block exit. “It’s a criminal act of extreme gravity; we could have had a massacre,” MEP Matthieu Valet wrote. “The perpetrators must be found and prosecuted for attempted murder.”
c) Belgian Right-Wing Politician beaten by Moroccan mob at Antwerp City Hall. Belgian right-wing politician Filip Dewinter was left bleeding after being assaulted by members of a Moroccan wedding party at Antwerp City Hall, where he was grabbed by the throat, shoved against a wall and struck repeatedly. Police intervened to restore order, while Dewinter described the attack as another example of intimidation against politicians challenging mass immigration.
d) Germany. AfD Surges to 40 Percent in Another East German State. The Alternative for Germany party has surged to 40 percent support in Brandenburg while the Christian Democrats collapsed to single digits in a new poll showing dramatic political realignment.
e) ‘We did not follow your insane migration policies’ – Slovak MEP Mazurek says “Slovakia and Poland avoided mass crime, ‘student’ riots, and sexual attacks by rejecting Western European immigration policies.” Large riots with arson and attacks on police in high-immigration districts, including France’s ongoing 2026 school unrest that led to thousands of arrests, have no equivalent scale in Polish or Slovak cities.
1. Some near escapes
Last evening, I was searching for this lady I thought had been in the eye of the storm, had heard nothing since in X:
This morning, her footage:
Here’s a tour of what we endured through the hurricane.
We too here had a storm … yesterday, I went downstairs, not even knowing, and in the bin area, the bins were tipped over, other debris all around.
We get flash storms here. On Friday, I was downstairs, waiting for a delivery which was late. It was sunny around 1030. Within minutes, a front came through from the north-west, driving rain, floods of it … even down my water-resist jacket, drenched, cap soggy, had to retreat behind our lower front door.
By the time the driver arrived, it was all over, sun was back out. Phoned my mate or vice-versa, can’t remember … he’d been inside a mile or so away, completely unaware of the storm.
French lady, Marie … and on both those points, they are highly likely to influence how she looks and feels.
On the hourglass point … indeed. In my own case, were I to view my life up to my heart attack, it was with no concept of future, no concept of the hourglass running out. Between that and a certain age, I was still making plans. After that though:
There were certain new glitches now and then to overall good health
Increasing loss of memory and physical balance
A slowly more clear sight of the end of the road
A resultant “don’t care any more” mentality
The need to slow down time and conserve this precious resource fast running out.
However, my cultural roots and basic faith said yes, Jimbo … you must keep caring, you’ve had a charmed run, now it’s your turn.
I don’t like her public swearing, the lack of control, the compass in some ways … and yet, for her as a working age person, on a low wage with high rentals and costs … plus decades of future ahead … I do care for our young and what they’re walking into.
I see the young bucks in Restore are grumbling at Rupert, plus his own inner family and friends are telling him to cut and run (retire) … the young bucks can see only betrayal by the olds, being lied to, they are also barely educated today, also zero Christian culture or attitudes to fall back on for support.
Look at that 84 … she ain’t no child anymore but by the same token, not yet middle-aged … call her youngish. Yet her public behaviour is quite different to Tina’s. Is that being Floridian as against English perhaps?
And there’s the moral underpinning of society again. Which moral literature would you suggest Tina and that entire generation revert to … or learns?
There’s an old Anglican prayer which asks: “Bless, guide, protect, give comfort to and courage…”
There was a tweet yesterday by some chap on the train, pointing out that when those underpinnings were still there, it was basically safe to get about … if you made an agreement, then by and large it bound both parties … in public, your first thought was not to sucker punch or stab someone, burn a car … it was to let each live his/her life.
Don’t think there’s any need to further labour the point.
