(1658) Evening all … dusk plus Christmas draweth nigh.

 

15. AKH on Reaves (deliberate spelling)

HERE

“But the NHS still needs more money”, states Reaves, “who else do I get it from?”

“You’ve got it”, say I. “Take it from the money you’re going to spaff up against the wall in Ukraine, on Net Zero projects, on useless ‘green energy’ projects, on foreign aid for useless green energy projects, on the migrants nobody wants, on the criminal amounts of waste you and we all know occurs in all parts of the public sector. You could even slash the civil service in half and no-one would notice.”

14. In a similarly prissy, high-handed way

… to my reaction in 13 … I’ve noticed a few people yesterday and today … people I know … a bit stressed out and to my mind, it’s not just the politics nor the cold.

This was something I noticed upon my return to this fair isle after Russia … over there, the stress dissipates towards New Year, the big festivity, and then there’s real winter wonderland stuff … bbqed shaslik in the forest, long walks … and then comes Christmas on Jan 6th-7th. The downside is that soon after … around the 10th, it’s straight back to work. I’d have liked a fortnight but there ya go.

The downside for lone wolves is the isolation while everyone’s last minute shopping, sorting things, preparing the house etc. … the upside is the bliss of not having to. I finished my Christmas buying today, wrapping tomorrow, the blog’s Christmassy, the stress is low at home.

13. Now and Next

HERE

“Watching the PM and Kemi Badenoch go at each other over immigration today, an independent observer might be inclined to conclude despairingly ‘they’re as bad as each other.’ And so of course they are, what with the faux Conservatives having looked at Blair ‘The Master’ and decided that was the model to follow from 2010 onwards.”

12. Steve and war room at 906

First time I think … correct me if I’m wrong … that I’m not summarising as it’s all about Wray.

Frankly, though they’re justified about crowing over Wray, plus Bannon went through so much … so yes, there is every justification, chaps and chapesses … hmmmm … I’m not so sure though that it’s a good look, the nyah nyah n nya-nya.

I’d prefer them to maybe say one word: “Vindication.”

 

(1321) Afternoon all … already. Still bleah out there. (1337)

 

11. A Streetcar Named Desire

Technically a feature … as there’s a filum coming, thought I’d drop this in here, thereby giving that 911 motif:

10. Bovaer

This thing is, of course, global:

9. As Steve mentions across the way

 

Again thanks IYE:

(0826) Looks a nothing day out there. (0923)

 

8. Labour ALWAYS mess everything up as govt

7. More on Caitlin Clark

The only way that tweet could be remotely acceptable is to take a look at the poster, the author, the demographic. If bros are saying this … weeeeellll……

6. What chance a new party taking govt?

Hmmmm … I’d have said, even two weeks ago … forlorn … but jow not so sure it’s not possible, esp. given Badenoch’s performance so far. Just why do Tories insist on culturally foreign leaders … they saw where Sunak got them. Answer is wets, Woke leftist quislings, as loyal to God and country as the Chief Communist, Mr. Wooden Top.

Farage is certainly setting out to charm and undermine the Tories, the dries … but this thing is not just ideological, is it? There are crimes to conceal, ££££s to be made on the side.

5. We each have hobbyhorses we get back to

… one of mine being men and women finding a way to work together, involving give and take from BOTH parties. Another of my hobbyhorses is this:

In realpolitik, aspirations are fine for the poets and philosophers but to achieve them, there must be political will, plus the grunt to back it up, plus a clear sense of purpose in many people in .

Resting on one’s laurels, being unwilling to take the necessary risk … that’s a nowhere place to be, as thugs and savages will just steal, rape and kill, challenging you to do sommit about it.

All right, look at this a mo:

Initial thought is how dastardly, eh? But the second thought is … well why would they not infiltrate? Which group would not?

Which does come back to ultimate purpose. If the purpose is to debilitate the perceived enemy, i.e. a defensive stance, then I ask well whyever not? Everyone makes moves to shore up his or her world.

If the ultimate aim though is major regional or world conquest, then such moves take on a different complexion, do they not? In themselves … par for the course. As part of a Grand Plan … to be stopped at all costs.

Which brings me to the next point … the myrmidons and followers are one thing … I don’t hate these, I despair of their brainwashing. However, puppetmasters with grand aspirations involving taking from us … they’re implacable enemies.

Hate? I’m not sure what the mindset should be. Hate Starmer? Oppose in a deadly, stonewalling way, not the slightest concession to him? Well of course. Hate? I moreso hate the consequences, the horrors themselves and determine to stop him any which way I can.

Then again, that’s just me.

(0630) And a fine dark t’be sure! (0704)

3. Call it curious scepticism

… call it what you want but first there was Caitlin Clark, the basketballer, whom our side of politics embraced as she was physically attacked on the floor multiple times, was made Time person of the year, suddenly went full Woke, the idiot, losing her entire base in one go … at least one can understand why … she must play these malcontents who resent her ability, colour and fame.

Fine, ok, she has to live with em. Now DJT is man of the year? Deserved, yes, logical choice, do not wish to find themselves in hot water … but but but … any trace of Wokerati in him?
Well, in a way, yes … wanting to be lived by all, which is a bit different to wanting to be President for all. That Warp Speed for a start … terribly manipulated etc. etc.

All right, this is the new DJT, meaning new strategies from the baddies, sneaky strategies, flattering him. Look … to an extent, he needs to be fair, firm and friendly, yes … but to think that lot of unprincipled nutters would actually reform and love him? Seriously, how naive.

2. Steve at 905

Four: Turkey Bombs US-Allied Kurds in Syria While Backing Radical Islamist Groups, Giorgia Meloni Assassination Plot, UK to ban puberty blockers, more….

Three: Wray resigns (not in capital letters ☺️), TIME person of year, much more…..

1. DAD drops at 906, time marches on

a) Living in the past. Who said that the Isl*m*sts were still living in the 700s in their minds.

b) More living in the past. These two are still in 1905. On December 9, 1905, Parliament voted on the law known as the separation of church and state. Almost a century after its adoption, two teachers from Aveyron believe that this founding text is still not applied in Aveyron.

c) Emmanuel Macron is not expected to appoint a new prime minister before his return from Poland, Thursday, December 12, at the end of the day.

d) Little by little the EV dream (which turned into a nightmare) is dying. The European People’s Party (EPP)—the European Parliament’s largest group and Commission chief von der Leyen’s own political family—turned against……..

e) CHRISTOPHER WRAY RESIGNS AS FBI DIRECTOR.
