Sunday [13]

Youth

Agatha Christie was born in 1890. Her “The Mysterious Mr. Quin” was published in 1930, so she was certainly not “of an age” when she observed of her 62 year old character at one of those large house parties:

“Mr. Satterthwaite was glad that the young people had gone to bed. He was not fond of young people in herds. He thought them uninteresting and crude. They lacked subtlety and as life went [on,]he had become increasingly fond of subtleties.”

I’d say Christie was particularly well placed to observe that and yet I, in reading it around the same age, felt a bit resentful of Mr. Satterthwaite, felt that he’d forgotten his youth … I felt his attitude should have been more to smile at a distance and remember how we’d been ourselves.

Today, having just come off X, having s/shot a few more polit-snippets, I was starting to agree with Mr. S far more. Obviously, my initial inclination, having been with young people much of my working life, was to defend the young to Mr. S but the things I’ve noticed of late, maybe since returning to these shores, have been not so good.

We’ve been through all the specifics online here … the Wokery, viciousness, the blockheadedness, the gaucheness, esp. of the female these days (boys always have been), the increasing uselessness, the brittleness, emptiness … and we know why … the upbringing steadily worse from the war generation onwards … the godlessness, the disrespect, the lower moral compass …

Then again, you’re hardly like to get reality on X, except in some reportage. There are some things constantly intruding on my timeline now:

One has almost killed off the Ladies at Lunchtime segment on Mondays and Fridays … let me tell you about it.* First was a daughter with her olds nearby, the caption saying she was native American. Uh huh. Perfect pic for LatL … modest, nice person. But there was just something “nye tak”, which is Russian for “not so”, literally, but more often meaning red flag, sommit slightly off about it.

A few polit items further down … another native American, so it claimed. Not AI, a real person, but still. Pattern continued, then came some girl, mournful puppy look … it was her birthday, could we not wish her well, no one else seemed to care.

A few items further down … another one needing sympathy, help, for this reason or that. Then further down … another. And another wanting birthday wishes. I’d been suspicious since the first. Now by this time, there were enough pictures for weeks of L@L … all around 20 or so, all gorgeous, modest, dutiful daughter or young wife types.

Did more blogging to inflict on you, checked the inbox, Gab, blogs e.g. AKH, Vox … came back to X and it had changed tone … now it was half-unclad specimens, then a picture of Karoline Leavitt, taken by Kai Trump, quite clad.

So while the polit items were as you see right now … mothers, grandmothers, fathers, grandfathers, MAGA type guys, often with short beards … there’d then be these painted, unnatural nubiles punctuating X, which I did not need of a Sunday, then a report on this Lily Phillips who seems to have been at it again.

Clearly, analytics were putting these in, so how to train analytics to leave me free from such content? Then I realised that a few of the ladies, plus guys, were repostings of my own repostings … yikes … and many of those were young ladies … you see how it goes.

Way to break free was to go off and do chores, have brek, look at the Moors, Lake District, seaside villages etc., which did have the effect of removing that type of thing but now there was another type appearing … memes or clips and once again, so many of these young people doing something stoopid or other, in herds … and it struck me again what Satterthwaite had said … it was as if the young people speaking were not natural … they were exchanging lines they’d learnt, posturing, posing or if males with coiffed hair, pulling some stunt meant to wow the girl. Some daredevil stunt or other. No real communication about anything, about life. It was all playacting. What a way to live.

Er … were we like that back then? Christie had also written somewhere … young people “always concerned with externals”, never deep, never just enjoying the subtleties of life.

But if we were that shallow back then … late teens to maybe late thirties … how could we have stood living like that?

Give you an example … I was invited to a party of a guy I knew maybe five years younger, had to think of some stunt, so wore three watches on the wrist, not one. Tell you what … girl after girl coming up: “Oh wow.” All because of the stunt. Don’t like parties anyway, left after half an hour, nicely, nothing nasty.

Where on earth am I going with this? Not a clue … maybe that we’re better off around our own kind. Maybe. …/END.

……

*Oops … just discovered that they were all by the same two people … graphic designers … using AI? Or enhanced? That now explains a lot but it’s still probably killed off LatL.

Sunday [7 to 12]

12. Watch your back at all times

Obviously, as a pundit, I’m going to “Mandy Rice Davies” it in supporting Chanel but without such people as her, as this Tan, as Christine, as Emerald, as Laura, as Inevitable West etc. … we would be in huge trouble, zero oversight of any value, the fourth estate bought and in chains.

And so to Chanel’s theme of betrayal … Turner’s not the only one. Donny can’t be expected to cover all bases … so who needs to watch his back? Brutus Wiles is the one … she was in that Signal meeting, she had to have known about Waltz.

11. The grossly profligate and criminal insanity of Net Zero


10. DAD at 1008

47.4 So when you meet the disbelievers ˹in battle˺, strike ˹their˺ necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly.

a) A man was stabbed this Saturday afternoon around 4 p.m. in the city center of Villefranche-sur-Saône. He was rushed to hospital…..

b) The incident (he was stabbed in the neck) occurred near Nelson Mandela Square on Friday…..

c) A young man with ambition. “I want to become a ‘chouf’ in Marseille”…..

d) Bill Gates: AI Will Replace Most Jobs Except Those Advancing Globalist Agenda.

9. Those we lovingly refer to as Plod

I’ve known some good Dixons of Dock Green and Fancy Smiths and we have a retired good ‘un here now and then in Penseivat. A mate of mine when I was 8 or so … his dad was local constabulary … put me in the lockup for about fifteen minutes … can’t say it was fun … all stone, small window high up with bars.

I’m not referring to Britain’s finest but to the West Midlands for example, to sicko plod today and Penseivat’s had some things to say on that. And now:

This was always the issue with the armed services too and the donkeys at the top … basically not giving a toss for the troops. Shocking to anyone half decent has been plod’s actions at rallies, at Notting Hill perversion day … and esp. in the en masse arrest of people with opinions. The issue for many of us has been the obvious relish with which young plod has supported wrong. Sign of a Stasi state.

What can a policeman do? A decent one I mean, with home and family? I’ve no answer to that.

8. The devil is certainly a hard worker

… plus organised:


7. Dearieme on Call Me Dave

Over at Churchmouse (link in brolls above) … some interesting spelling by DM in places:

“When I first saw Cameron referred to as Blair-lite I thought “prove them wrong!” Then he invited everyone to call him Dave. Then he claimed to be a football fan – Aston Villa. The he claimed to be a football fan – West Ham. Well, their shirts are terribly similar. Clearly as bogus as Toni Blair’s support for Newcastle United. Fakes, fakes, fakes.

Besties with a fake? Not much promise there, then.

I suspect there have been only two highly intelligent politicians in the English-speaking world in my lifetime: Harry Lee (a.k.a. Lee Kuan Yew) and Enoch Powell. Will there ever be a highly intelligent politician in Westminster during its remaining few years of existence (i.e. before it is all swept into the rubbish bin of history)?

A hae ma doots.”

6. Attack on Vlad

Russia’s currently silent, afa I’ve explored. Which of his doubles was blown up, if any? Has Vlad appeared on TV? I’ve not yet seen.

5. Attack on RFK Jnr

Aside from Bobby not being able to keep it in his pants:


4. Attack on Hegseth


3. Lake District mega-mosk


One can only hope and pray. The creeps behind it were trying to pass it off as a non-mosk:

2. IYE does not say why but …

Strange appointment, imho.
Journalist Sara Carter for Drug Czar [Czarina?]

“It is my great honor to announce Sara Carter as our next Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). Sara is an Award Winning Journalist, who has been on the front lines of this International Fight for decades. From Afghanistan to our Border, Sarah’s relentless pursuit of Justice, especially in tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis, has exposed terrorists, drug lords, and sex traffickers. As our next Drug Czar, Sara will lead the charge to protect our Nation, and save our children from the scourge of drugs….”

JH: My first, more flippant answer is that Donny does like a woman. My second answer is something I said a decade and a half ago … women make good admins where the standing orders, the range of tasks, is clear, the assignment clear. Where they fall down is when they have to be Rebekah Brookses (NOTW) and/or are Rachel from Accounts types, Joyce Thackers, Cressida Dicks. Even a good one such as Kari Lake is caught out by machinations when up against devious and thorough baddies.

Why not a man? Men think their own way, go off task, experiment as the alphas in the room. Women also go that way after being feted and thinking they’re hot stuff …Pammy, Kristi, even Natalie and Karoline to a point.

There’s a type of man who is bad news who can be called woodenhead, meathead … utterly conscienceless, lacking any compassion, low moral compass … Brown and Starmer stand out … like to hit pensions, sell off gold.

Also from IYE:

Hazbeen and his former charity. The nitty-gritty.
“…The origins of the dispute have been highly contested by both sides. Chandauka said she first felt tension between Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and herself in April 2024.

Chandauka said she had refused what she described as a request by the royal’s team to defend his wife, Meghan, in the media after negative coverage of her. “I said no, we’re not setting a precedent by which we become an extension of the Sussex PR machine,” she said.
