Labour backed raising the age of consent from 16 to 18 for getting a tattoo, buying alcohol, watching porn, opening a bank account, purchasing cigarettes, using a sunbed or being tried as an adult.
Now they tell us they are acting from principle.

Awoke from a second sleep and saw this:


Why two screenshots instead of one? Because the details in the left column include email and IP.
Right … I’ve been through and those two comments are certainly not there, which suggests it was targetted. So, let’s look at possible culprits. It does look like someone who likes mischief and is trying to drive a wedge between us all while all seemed calm and full speed ahead. Plus, has anything unusual happened since yesterday? Let’s start with that latter point.
Anything unusual?
Yes, as Julia could confirm. Ggl sent a letter to my main email about the OoL email not having been used for eight months. My question is … why eight months? Who would have gone into it eight months ago, when it was attached to the old, now removed (by ggl) OoL site (blgr)? When it was around since 2013?
Short answer is ggl itself, blgr, spammers or hackers. Yesterday, I recovered that email and Julia and I spoke of it. I can’t see it being Julia but it might be a hacker wanting to get at her or at me for something at OoL, or even our connection on X.
Also, I deleted some DM accounts yesterday, inc. tech people attached to Nole.
Lil ole me
Well, we’re down to bona fides or history, also psychology … why on earth would I choose IYE and Toodles? Esp. as I’m delighted Toods is in action and that was a nice exchange. Same with DAD, Andy or Steve.
Yes, obviously I could delete but when have I ever done that without making a song and dance about it? And why Toods and IYE, two key people at this site? On the other hand, what if someone were wanting to cause a rift there?
Toods or IYE themselves
… or someone technically close to or attached to either of them … and remember that both are in countries other than in the UK.
Quite a possibility but again … look at history … why has the sort of thing not happened before?
The Backend Man
This is the engineer who set up this site, HQ … some sort of fun or mischief? Quite possible, has the temperament … but again … why? We’re both pleased how HQ is operating.
Something within the backend itself, within our set up? Possible … tech glitches are always possible, esp. with hackers on himself trying to get at him with attacks.
The spam system here
Far from allaying IYE’s concern, this would add to it. Already not happy with the comments system, there are all sorts of factors affecting both his and her commenting, esp. within his and her own country.
There is WP itself too
… possibly unhappy I have not gone premium.
Plus, the way it works is that I’m hit every hour with up to twenty spam. I click individual comments, bulk label them spam and they go. But I have seen glitches where there were, say ten spam, then maybe three good comments, then maybe another five spam … and so on. Just why it would be Toods and IYE I can see is possible by sod’s law but I’m fairly careful what I click, which is one reason I do not blog mid to late evening … too tired and that gets dangerous.
The answer there is again attitude and history … has it been an issue before? And the reply is … before what? Yes indeed. Before what? What changed?
Plus one more thing … with the old N.O., some tech toerag was going through old posts for months, note that, and removing them. It did not stop us, so they stole the whole blog last July, around about now.
Now look again at the second screenshot above here, over to the right … 6:47 a.m. is one thing … but look also at the Tuesday [6 to 10]. Also, the question to me by Redacted was under a Wednesday post. Think on that one … old posts, now off the front page. 🤔
EE, WP, Apple, ggl, other providers?
Certainly it could … but why now? And why specifically Toods and IYE? The ipads are both playing up, that’s for sure, I’m having to constantly refresh. Plus, around 7 a.m., our time, is peak time, then late afternoon.
Redacted himself
Who. Bleedin’. Knows. Seriously. I’ll explore this, and shall report back if anything crops up.
Jewish or Jihadi reasons?
Possible. But why Toods and IYE? Just general mischief making? Who. Bleedin’. Knows.
Right, need to get going with Steve’s drops last evening.
My last thoughts on’t?
Those comments have certainly disappeared, I can’t find them anywhere … my feeling is it’s one of two reasons … one is sod’s law glitch, there are plenty of those. The other is that someone targetted HQ, looking for max mayhem, max fallout between contributors. So the question is … who would have a vested interest in that?

I DID NOT DELETE THOSE COMMENTS. THERE IS NO EDITING FACILITY AVAILABLE TO ME AND TO SUGGEST THAT I OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME DID IT IS SCURRILOUS.
Will you be setting up a page for short rants? If so you can have this.
……
JH: Yes, that was what I wrote … I can’t see it … it’s someone wanting to break up the readership or a glitch … my feeling is the former. At a slight distance from that, bringing down HQ and there’s any number who woud want that. Watching closely.
Right, I’ve loaded the film, coming up in 2 minutes, which gave me a chance to write to Toodles:
“Someone removed your comment to IYE and his response, over the dog. He’s upset. I’m going to suggest, after the film, that it can easily be repaired … Toodles writes again, though she has an ultrabusy Sunday, IYE responds as and if he wants. It’s not as if it’s gone forever … both people are around, give or take.”
All right … timings. From around 6 a.m., Brit time, till about 5 p.m., she will be asleep as a rule, then family, then I know she’s busy until about 10 p.m. our time on a Sunday. At any time though she can suddenly wake and see my email.
Just in case my comment onsite also disappeared, I repeat condolences over IYE’s dear dog. It’s tragic and we did not need comments disappearing.
Good afternoon, folks. Marked change in the weather down yer in Dorzet. Quite a bit of rain overnight with a drop in temperature; though it be still comfortable enough to go without a cardigan, or some such attire. Moving on the Vice President, J.D. Vance, has rented a cottage in the Cotswolds and he’ll be travelling here with his family quite soon – no doubt walking the ‘wolds’ (rolling countryside) with his Secret Service detail in tow.
Something to note is USSS agents are not allowed to carry firearms in the UK. That type of protection will come from what used to be called SO1, who will be armed to the teeth. The family will spend a second week in Scotland where a meet up with POTUS is possible: Trump is on a private visit (25-29 July) to his golf courses in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire. Obama went to Scotland in 2021 (COP26) but he may have difficulty travelling anywhere in the future..

……
JH: Adored the way you dropped into that Dorzet word order.
“USSS agents are not allowed to carry firearms in the UK”: I’d bloody well hope not. I’m still fuming over that CIA woman who was allowed to flee the country after she’d killed a motor-cyclist. What it is to be a vassal state, eh?
Still, with Sir Greased Piglet in charge he’ll try to ensure we’re also a vassal state of the EU.
A servant of two masters – tricky.
……
JH: Three masters if you include shaitan.
We had a thunderstorm, with heavy rain, this morning. It awakened me at 04h. It broke the drought here in western France. We had 22mm (nearly an inch), not really sufficient, but very welcome. The last rain was on April 23 when we had 14mm (a little over ½ inch).
……
JH: Land needs it.
