(2357) Almost Monday and this post is the result of having crashed early, then awoken at the wrong time. In these situations, one just uses the hour or so waking time as best one can. (0057)
4. This 👇🏻
3. Fine group of hardworking grassroots people
… pretending there’s no inundation, no rape gangs and murder epidemic and that Yusef is not aligned with the shariah agenda, that Farage is not aligned with the Uniparty, hence defections to the Tory notion of Reform … and that there’s no imminent Uniparty induced crash about to occur in summer.
2. The irony would be delicious
… were there not such vital issues hanging on it:
Kakistocracy, eh?
Least qualified, most unscrupulous, eh? As in bussed in by DNC hired foreign firms (see previous Loomer report) … that sort of unscrupulous? And they have the vote?
“[British Gas had] contracted vast quantities of gas in long-term contracts during the huge boom of the late 1960s, priced in single-digit pennies per therm. Being thus sated, they’d bought very little in the 1970s. One day, they re-did the supply/demand sums and noticed – guess what? – a looming shortage! Owing to the low gas price and, at the same time, booming oil prices after the twin crises of 1973-4 and 1979, everybody was exploring only those hydrocarbon plays that looked set to yield oil. And new gas developments take several years to bring on stream…..”
13. I’ll not be shopping at Marks and Sparks again
First:
Not just on this account above but also because of their constant, 100% woke adverts, always non-white males and a variety of females … clearly, they do not want my custom, M&S. Not a good look from that old firm.

Steve Bannon: “Trump Just Gave Hammer Blow To Globalists.”
Spencer Morrison: “No Matter What Happens The Tariffs Must Remain In Place.”
Yes, I’ve been Van der Valking a bit because it’s a slice of our lives, the early 70s and early 90s … the episode already shown here was 1972 and this is 1992 … much water had been passed under the bridge inbetween.
The episode I clicked out of quickly, from series five, the final series of three, had VdeV trying to team up with an offsider, not unlike with Morse … they’re trying it as well below with greater success … plus they’ve put VdeV’s screen son in this … a youngish, more brash version of dad … jury’s out but methinks it would have worked, had they given it a few more episodes.
By doing it this way, father and son at some distance from one another, each with his own team (entourage), wife in a strange middling position … there were far more characters to get a line on, esp. in the plot, which involves members of a city firm, plus their family members.
One major plus of this short fifth series is location shots around Amsterdam … usually a lovely addition to a show, pity about the film copy (feature length by the 90s). For some reason, reviews of series four, after a good start, were fairly ordinary … this is rated better but maybe they were attempting too much … jumping the shark?
One thing methinks they avoided fairly well in this one was DEI, perversions … it was mainly adultery in this one, also starting to portray men as either violent or weak, women as strong, except when they break.
Still trying to get a handle on the early 90s … clearly once Blair arrived, it fell apart in the UK but I was overseas, so missed the second half in the west. What were you doing?
7. Interesting (pour moi) about these two seventies bands
The good die young? For me, “glam” rock was an excrescence at worst, ok I suppose at best … Slade I never got into, nor bands like Sweet, Strawbs, Queen, Oasis, boy bands (girl music) … but to a point liked Free and Bad Company … my tee shirts were Ramones and Stranglers, which gives you an idea, liked Splodginessabounds too.
Having said all that, I wasn’t crazy for punk punk, e.g. Johnny Rotten, unless it was both driving and highly melodic, with harmonies … the Ramones did that with California Sun, Do You Wanna Dance, Swallow My Pride. This below was, imho, classic Ramones, dressed as young street males should have dressed, not that *&£#£&*-y stuff with Slade etc.

a) “No one trusts you Macron. You are duplicitous….”
b) Anti-abortion campaigner Livia Tossici-Bolt, whose case was championed by the White House over free speech concerns, has been convicted of breaching a ‘buffer zone’ outside an abortion clinic and ordered to pay costs of £20,000.
c) Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, mandated that physical fitness requirements for combat jobs be “sex-neutral,” a move that is likely to significantly reduce the number of women who qualify. *

They were there in passing, often within someone’s reply … still worth showing … no urls, you’ll just have to guess the topic:
Quick notation here … if you’d like to quote from this item later, please apply your own lettering, even if I’ve not physically put it between sub-items, sshots. For example, say you wanted to put a comment elsewhere, quoting Kelvin MacKenzie, then it’s far easier to just write “Sun 2c” or after a few days, maybe “Apr 6, HQ, 2c”.
If you’d like readers to know to what you’re referring, then you need to signpost well. With some of you, the unherdable defiance kicks in and you simply do NOT wish to following any signposting method I seem to lock you into … fine, fine … as long as your own method is clear to readers.
1. The issues with capturing, gathering, collating
This is for all “droppers”, article writers, long commenters, short commenters at HQ, from the “chief cook and bottle washer” here. Every so often I must bore you with procedural things … but needs must.
First issue is that sources are so often snippets … and though I’m loathe to edit, a high sounding term for censor, often that source material contains insta-triggers for censorious bots which govt and platform providers put out to trap and trigger swat teams and/or close down sites, delete posts etc. etc. etc.
Against that, there is the rightfully seething anger in sane people … those in the land who can observe what’s going on and are clearly being provoked by bad players, let’s call them. Straight to Roger Scruton again:
Now I’m terribly sorry to our good droppers here but this is very, very real and bad players are poised to scan and troll, to censor on the slightest pretext … much of it coming down to the pundit’s “reach”. There is also a time factor … I find much which is fluttering by, ephemerally, I capture, post, the page changes … chances are that if you don’t get it the first time, then it stays ungotten.
Point of all this? For us to stick around, we do have to learn to euphemise. Yes, for sure, it’s more pure and honourable to shout it in all its anger, calling a spade a spade, but that’s also a surefire way for Them, not me, to block you, block me … and send round the boys early morn.
Second issue is simply technical … look first at this quote from the leftwing Quora and commenter Brian Overland, March 12th:
“There certainly have been some actors who are not nice people and have been difficult to get along with (or have the reputation of being that way). HOWEVER, I suspect that truly psychopathic actors who are fine actors tend to be rare. Because… acting, perhaps more than any other activity, depends on the ability to be able to imagine what it FEELS like to be in another person’s shoes.
Consequently, I would expect a really gifted actor to frequently have the thought, “I can understand why a person might feel that way.”
Now, what is the state of being a psychopath? I’ve learned that it is not the condition of being evil or dangerous, necessarily. It is a neurological condition that makes it harder to empathize deeply with another person.
People with this “neural atypical” condition CAN (if properly raised) be law-abiding citizens and avoid harm to other people… basically they have been raised to clearly understand long-term consequences. Deep empathy may come more slowly to these people than others, but they can be raised to be good citizens.”
To capture those words and get them to the stage of “fair use” took me nigh on half an hour just now … just for the quote alone. Yet I can capture whole, page long screeds from other sources in under three minutes. Why? Technical barriers … one who puts them in is Miles Mathis, another is Corey, Quora certainly do it, so do any using a “block” system of text, rather than just an ordinary copy and paste.
I also nearly forgot the author and date. Always assume here at HQ … that if unstated, it’s at least this current month and current year … if not, I’ll try to signpost that. The law itself changes the whole time regarding everything from copyright to defamation but “fair use” still applies. It’s a constant battle for any serious pundit.
Thirdly, there is the nuisance of amateurs with not a clue about typeface size, for example:
White on black is awful, technically, as is huge typeface … ordinarily, I’d go to text for that but this was just to illustrate. Also, any screenshot has quite a chance of containing trigger words which bots look for … if you tried it in comments, you might be blocked by the machine, almost never by me, myself, I.
I’m thinking, dear reader/dropper, that you’re getting the drift, yes. Free speech? Well of course but at the risk of being snuffed out early? Does an officer in the field of battle wear a top hat and neon sign saying “boss here, sitting target”?
Sometimes the outraged pundit, e.g. dear young Charlie Bentley-Astor, girl journo, one of the upcoming finest or else thirty month jailbird, renders her copy nearly unusable because it’s peppered with hurty trigger words. Ok, nuff for now on this. …/END.
