The parliamentary report by Brigitte Klinkert, MP and former minister, deciphers the reasons for the failure of deportations of illegal immigrants in France. The report highlights several factors:
Obstruction of countries of origin: In particular the Maghreb countries, where the issuance of consular passes (LPC) is extremely slow or often refused, thus blocking deportation.
Massive judicial cancellations …
… and so on. Also a piece on Assisted Dying over there.
15. The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect
“The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is a phenomenon that describes how people can read an article about a topic they’re knowledgeable about and then forget what they know after turning the page. The effect is named after Murray Gell-Mann, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who proposed the existence of quarks
The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect can be described as follows:
You read an article about a topic you’re knowledgeable about, and notice that the journalist doesn’t understand the facts or issues.
You read the article with exasperation or amusement, and then turn the page to read about other topics.
You forget what you know about the topic of the article.
Recorded cases of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect are rare, but one example is C. S. Lewis. After reading biographical interpretations of his own works, he realized how inaccurate they could be and began to read other interpretations with more caution.”

… they really do, now and then, have good comments threads. This is a comment by one Linda Hunt, retired pharmacist, and though the topic’s unpleasant, imho she’s right on the money:
“I am 78 and I sure hope I don’t smell like an old lady. In my professional career I have encountered quite a few stinky people. It was either from unwashed bodies, hair, or clothes, or else stale perfume, or some combination thereof. Also, one loses one’s sense of smell so it doesn’t register with us ourselves.
Bathe daily, wash your hair and behind your ears, use unscented products as much as possible, and sniff your clothes. Dead skin breeds dust mites, so keep things clean. Drops of urine tend to be absorbed by your knickers, then give off odors, so rinsing it off with water and drying off with a facecloth is better than blotting with toilet paper, also less irritating on your skin. Do that as much as possible. I learned that from the babies. Never got diaper rash if I washed them rather than just wiped them off. If you leak, deal with that too, and check your outer clothing for smells.
Oral hygiene is important too, and one of the worst smells, according to professional tasters, is stale saliva. So drink plenty of water, floss, brush, and blast out the food particles with a water pick. If you have dentures, keep them fresh.
Unwashed hair smells really gross. Take a sniff of an old brush. Yuck. Wash your hairbrush and combs too. And behind the ears. That is a source of oil that goes rancid. Launder the pillowcases.
Walk in the front door of a nursing home and you will gag. Combination of piss, scented cleaning products, years of dust, and poor ventilation.
Omigosh, deal with this stuff as long as you can. If you don’t smell it, others might, so make it a habit.”
Right at this moment, tomorrow’s bedding and clothes wash is in, I’ve just been talking to the man concerned about cleaning the commons spaces and we’ve been sorting the bins … vastly better than they were.
I’m on a rambling, rabbit warren landing with seven young people (under 35), three of them female … I’m the only one “of a fair age”. We have a good thing going here … interestingly, we all get along and that’s because we look after our space.
Now … imho, I’m the issue. It’s doubly important, esp. in a British winter, to body wash, bathe etc., watch all the things she mentions above … old people can start to smell if we slacken off. Especially clothing.
There’s a difference, again imho, between being a clean freak and just taking care of basic routines.
Simple fact is … no, no petition on that “imm” topic, Lee, because in the UK, it is now, under these communists, an incarcerable offence to dare criticise the invasion or those demographics … unless we’re MPs and therefore protected from the meatheaded demon. Criticise Starmer and stasi, yes … still possible … but he’s bringing in risible “Respect” laws to protect his gang, innee? What a tosser that communist is.

4. DAD
a) An operation worthy of a film. Drug traffickers attempted to break into the premises of the Anti-Narcotics Office (Ofast) at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport this Sunday to recover several kilos of cocaine seized earlier in the day….
b) Arriving on the scene, the Gendarmes learned that a man was threatening passers-by to get money. A witness then assured that he had just been attacked by the same individual and that he had been punched in the back. The investigators did not take long to arrest the suspect. He was Pooran Lali Balkumar, 44 years old, a national of Guyana who was not going to be very cooperative.
c) It turns out all he had to do was win another presidential election and wait. Because if even half the number of liberal celebrities who’ve claimed they’ll flee to seek refuge abroad really do go, net migration should be balanced in no time.
d) The biter bitten…
3. Third universal point today
… from athlete Sharron Davies:
This is precisely what communists do, that demonic sinister lot … they spend vast tracts of time studying the structures Man has put in place, asking the blessing of God, which the US Founding Fathers most certainly did … and everyone is aware of what they’re trying to do, plus there’s general goodwill about, a general desire to make it work … the rule of “fair” law.
And give or take things requiring amendments, e.g the 25th, it more or less creakily works and covers most contingencies. But there’s a second factor in here, denied by the godless of course … and that factor is that these were “good Christian men and women” back then … adults in the room … administering. Thus it more or less worked.
But once let monsters sneak in, like communists, socialists and the Woke left … and they’re in there for one purpose only … to undermine, break down and wreck, under the guise of building a new stage five Marxist utopia, which of course must, by definition, become a dystopia … everything reversed in their world, upside down.
So no, we have no Official right of recall this side of the pond, with precedent … the crims in parliament whose descendants executed a king, himself believing in divine right in order to protect himself and his lineage … well, every group is protecting its own power, innit … we could even look at worshipful guilds for that … every single one of them setting up claptrap pomp and circumstance, rules, laws in perpetuity they think, to protect themselves.
The poor sods at the bottom of the pile are the serfs, the workers. That’s it.
2. Leggy raises two issues
… one is the subject itself … and the other is a tech front end issue. The front end issue first … I could not run the next bit of this:
… issue was that the screenshot news headline was superhuge in typeface, out of all proportion to the text above … useless to run it as a screenshot … plus the subject matter was vile at the same time.
A summary of the subject matter:
Some academic has suggested that braindead women can be kept on life support to have babies. Obviously trolling, as only a Fauci or Mengele would suggest that seriously … it has, unfortunately, dragged pundits in … distracted them from real issues out there and reinforced the despising of academia … which I’d suggest was the main idea.
It’s a bit like this … Woke left or all out commie professors lecturers and tutors are going to view MAGAs and Reform types as neanderthals, whilst we would regard that sort of suggestion as typical soulless, demonic, pitiless psychosis … which it would be if seriously put.
Further, behind it is the whole shtick of the Left that they have every right to walk in and wreck what they, personally, see as needing “progress”, with not the slightest regard for the culture, family, heritage, code underpinning the society … they’re just as bad as the invaders themselves. Plus every right to seize what is not theirs:
1. Oh dear, admin hat on I’m afraid
There are few rules at this blog concerning the patrons, while there are many regarding the govt, corporations, the Woke left etc. Of the ones concerning patrons, the main thing is to stay focussed on our core enemy, staying civil in our disagreement.
There are many reasons … ill health, having eaten an unfortunate lobster, lack of sleep … but someone must step in and it needs be me with admin hat on in this case:
The admin rule I go by is a patron can try it on with me as much as he/she wants but the danger is my own feistiness … saying sommit I’ll regret later, always was my Achilles heel … sometimes, after a few exchanges, with everyone having at least put their points, not before, it’s probably the referee’s time to step in …
… and that’s that. Let’s get on with Tuesday’s biz above.
Speaking of something else again. There is a fella on the Youtube. I have never listened to him before but it seems like he is in the know(I will keep my eyes and ears and discernment perked up regarding him…hopefully of every news distributor of info we are careful of).
Around the 12 minute something mark, he starts talking about the White House News Association or whatever it is called…so…he starts giving information about the Press Corp…..history of the group. I find it interesting and quite intriguing.
It makes me wonder not only about my country but the entire world, meaning about who and what they are…well… we know that already, do we not?
Also, what is all this about the UK allowing more trash over its borders? Ellen Degenerate and its wife? Oh my goodness…intentional pollution?!
24. Have a close look at Reform policy on foreign crims
Rupert Lowe, of all people, very anti-im, said that on a second offence, they go. They can all have a first offence, no issue … just the second they go on.
Some series I know just a few of, such as The Persuaders but other series such as Bergerac, I know every episode which was available and ran a few at the old NO. Sad that Cecile was only there for one series … the next two partners, imho, were not much chop but the arrival of Philippa Vale spiced it up. Support cast were good.
A further screenshot shows it’s a church service in the States from decades ago perhaps:
The gist was that they were gathered and tasked with finding the places in the body where the skin temperature variation was greatest in order to insert the subcutaneous device … they found the best two were forehead and right back of the hand, not wrist … right hand being most used.
Anyone knowing Revelation, Daniel and Isaiah is aware that that’s the mark of the beast, without which no one can either buy or sell … many more mainstream know of Verizon … and those today know of digital ID.
Does that take us any for’arder? Who knows? I’m deliberately not supplying the verse in Revelation … that’s for you to explore.
