17. Before even starting this from Steve
… on a lighter note, looking only at the colours, not the names … is it a man on our left of screen or a woman?
More seriously, in order to see this, we have to get past platforms which really don’t like that platform nor those channels … I’d not be able to embed it here but you can get to it via 893:6.
Also (893:5): “President-elect Trump’s team proposes halting all US weapons deliveries to Ukraine if it does not enter peace talks with Russia.”. Plus: “Indeed, from the circle of Trump supporters and those who have been nominated for future positions in the future administration, the word ‘peace’ or ‘peace plan’ is being heard,” Peskov told reporters. “No such words are being heard from the current (Biden) administration while provocative escalatory actions continue. That is the reality that we face.”
16. Well well well
15. Someone needs to talk to Nigel Farage
14. Interesting county in Scotland
13. As if Fri 10 were not bad enough …
12. Isilme chips in with this
Meanwhile, I was reading an article on zerohedge …
… and near the end it had a link to “Minus 45” which I clicked on. I was overjoyed because I’d read something similar to this document some time ago and wanted to check you were aware of it. It’s the info on page 2 that I was interested in most. To get straight to Minus 45 go to:
There is another similar document but it is more detailed because I’m sure I remember more tables of planned horror, as well as the fact that the information was much further into the document than page 2. Harder to find.
Anyway, I thought I’d mention it in case you hadn’t got it.
11. Dan Wooton on Ginge and Whinge
“If they used a surrogate, admit it!” Meghan Markle’s father casts doubt on birth of Archie and Lilibet.
Their whole story is twisted. Despite her being an appalling person though, I, and maybe you too, can still have compassion for a want-to-be mother who cannot conceive, on principle. I suspect though that there’s skullduggery behind this case though … it involves line of succession.

15. Reform just voted for that assisted dying bill. Nige still giving off the air of a used car salesman in the 80s.

JH: Not good.
Look at those three counties in SW Scotland. They used to be referred to, locally, as The County (Dumfriesshire), The Stewartry (Kirkcudbrightshire) and The Shire (Wigtonshire).
And while we are at it, bring back the classic subdivisions of counties e.g. for Ayrshire (Carrick, Kyle, and Cunningham).
And that map: I’ve never heard anyone mention “Rossshire and Cromartyshire”: it was always Ross & Cromarty. Moreover, where the devil has Shetland gone? By tradition it lives in a box in the Moray Firth.
And another thing: by ancient convention (and like so much other ancient tradition in Britain this can be traced all the way back to, oh, the 19th century) the county is spelled Dunbartonshire and the town Dumbarton. I hope they correct their map accordingly.
……
JH: I’ll pass that on.
