Being the victor of Trafalgar and numerous other sea battles, saving Britain from invasion and helping to secure our safety and supremacy – in short, changing the course of history in the early 19th century – obviously cuts no ice with our dear leaders of today. Such is their contempt for valiant patriotism that paintings of Lord Nelson displayed in Parliament’s buildings have now been taken down, whilst another painting has been put up.
Who is the subject of the exemplary new artwork adorning those hallowed halls? Another military titan, perhaps? Er, no. The canvas depicts… Yvette Cooper.
We’re back to the same old same old again … do we view it generationally, the blame for … or geographically, culturally, ideologically? “A cultural set of edifices” maybe (must have been drunk on skunk, ha ha).
I’d say imported ideology through non Brits is very much the killer now but the rot started from about 1970 in British schools not to revere our history … there were always lefty teachers, yes, esp. in secondary, with primary having more Conservative Party women … but it worsened and worsened until Brit history as we knew it was simply no longer taught, along with the three Rs.
Now, can we pinpoint which generation? Well, let’s go back … Boomers were certainly taught properly … whom by? Not the diagonal generation ahead, our big brothers so to speak, but by our parents’ lot, born maybe 1920 to 1930/35.
All right … what about DAD, one diagonal gen ahead of me? Well let’s ask him … not if he was taught well, coz he was … but did his lot teach their kids well … Gen X I mean? Looking at Gen X, I’d say less so. Gen X was when the one earring in the guy’s ear appeared, acid house, raves, living till middle age with one’s parents. By the time of the Millennials, was education bad news?
Well that’s where I come in, as I was a head teacher by the early 90s and the killer was the National Curriculum … so it was quite sudden. Not with us in the Independent sector but in the State, yes.
Who were in charge of curriculum branches just then, with their Woke leftism? Younger than I was … late Boomer, early Gen X … I met these Osted people … bad news on the whole, on a Woke high. They were the ones. Yes, I taught the three Rs, spelling, about Nelson, Harold arrow through the eye, Agincourt … I was called antediluvian, the prat. END.
Saturday {I understand that the Spiv of Kiev had a dressing down at the White House yesterday.}
a) The Algerian/French accord of 1968; The French PM says “reexamine all agreements between the two countries”.
b) Residents of certain districts of Eybens and Poisat had the unpleasant surprise of discovering advertising flyers in their mailboxes… for drug trafficking. On these leaflets, a detailed list of drugs and cigatettes that were available…
c) A secret meeting, and echoes of Benedict’s exit, have heightened talk that Francis could resign, too. But the possibility is anyone’s guess.

3. Just going to run this as one long round up now
… then catch some more sleep, hopefully. Not running the Trump Vance Zelensky 53 mins or whatever it was … link is in comments here, “that went well” … I do urge you to look at Sat 1, copy the link from comments if you want and store in your own safe place for retrieval.

Decades of dealing with gals have taught me things about all sorts, types. One type is the eternal girl/woman, always complicated if she is approaching classic beauty status in western eyes, which Pam was/is … it’s a double-edged sword and a gal becomes sly in protecting herself, her shortcomings … you see it in Pam B where she combines loyalty, plus bending people to her will, plus slyness … look at the eyes and set of the lips … she’s out to protect herself and increase her own stocks … there’s nothing untoward here, it’s the nature of girl/woman since ancient times.
And realising she’d been caught out, she slyly laid it on Kash via a very publicly posted letter, as public as Bindergate.
Pam was caught out, whichever way you slice/dice it … check out Kylie Jane Kremer, a major MAGA pundit:
This is the deal. Pam Bondi lied. Whether it was nefariously with malicious intent or naively & stupidly because she wanted to look like she was more informed, she said she had the Epstein files on her desk but the WORST PART is that SHE SAID SHE’D READ the Epstein files. She also stated there were sick people in the files after reading. Pam Bondi lied each way you look at it. Had Pam not lied, she & Kash could have figured out that people were withholding documents at the FBI or SDNY.
I’d suggest you look for any of our stalwarts’ references to Flynn … ball’s in your court.

When you see something on some site you think needs preserving, you can go about it a number of ways … here are some.
The easiest, to my mind, is a thing called a USB stick which, in simple language, is a small storage disk … quite cheap, anyone can buy, plugs into a laptop or PC side or behind, not Apple products, which use USBC … I never store on Apple. Not perfect as these sticks do degrade over time. Have three, four of them.
A step up is a small, plug in hard drive, USB plug, also easy to buy, you can spend £40 or £400 and you only need the one. Whole idea is that you detach after using/accessing.
Both those are affected by your system, device, browser, storage when you plug in … this post item does not cover those, nor VPN nor other methods to cut through the barriers.
One oblique way is our stalwart’s here of internxx archxxx, effective.
My advice is to store at a few locations, not all situated at home. This involves a certain amount of taking responsibility for your own files but don’t forget on paper.
Keep diaries, A5 ideally, A4 more cumbersome and one can be your central index to where you put things. Or have a box for all your scraps of scribbled notes … lazy but at least they’re all there.
It’s a discipline, chaps and chapesses, to allocate some of your time every few days to store on disk plus on paper. What you really should categorically not do is rely on HQ here to return to … you saw what happened to N.O., similar can happen to HQ, in fact well might this summer, as my system completely changes. Not saying it will but it seems not unlikely.
It really is your responsibility, as your knowledge increases, for your own net safety, which can be attacked at any time by all the little Thems … plus the big ones.
I’d strongly avoid storing any nrop whatever … you’ll be hacked, it’s truly unwise if you’re also prone to polit finding out in your rounds. In this country, that in itself is increasingly seen as radical, even if innocuous. Insane making threats online too, euphemise what you say and store. Use multiple locations, avoid ones such as FB, Tikxxx … stick to storing just facts, data.
If a thousand readers were to do that, in all corners of the sphere, it multiplies exponentially. Also … keep unplugged in inclement conditions, as you would any vulnerable apparatus.
