10. This Moosh Corner was evocative
I vaguely thought it was in August, 64 but it seems it was at Easter and in May … the MSM sensationalising it. As a little kid, I do remember it and promptly grew the hair from crew cut to long, coiffed, with brylcreem, but as I was the only one at school doing it, I soon dropped the grease and went Beatles mop. Later, I tired of that and went back to crew cut, which has pretty well been my hairstyle ever since, with a brief excursion into college cut.
Crew cut was a natural intro to skinhead but too narrow-tapered jeans put me off as much as stovepipes, though kept leather jackets going till recently, mainly bomber, narrowish jeans hems, never flares or bellbottoms … though I had flared guards over the 8” car wheels.
Violent? Nah, not in the sense of going around seaside resorts and glassing people … we used bare knuckles. How old were those mods and rockers? Well 18 for a start, so born 1946 or before … sorry, I was not to be even thought of for many, many years after that … missed that whole scene.
9. Lord Toby’s TDS today included this
8. Meanwhile, across the pond
7. Slow news day today
… as befits a bank holiday … on the other hand, only we have one. Leilani sums up the state of the news so far today:
6. Bless’ed are the flagmakers
… at least in England just now. Plus that pub where two bouncers prevented an English person going in with a CofStG. The footage carefully avoided the name of the pub … it was contrived, the whole thing … see Sun 23 here again … you might like to read it through.
Them desperately want the violence kicking off, presumably so they can find the most immediate fodder for the Ukraine meat grinder … this war MUST escalate in Them’s eyes. Of course, if Vlad were disingenuous and always intended taking Poland, then that’s another matter.
Although the PTB want it to kick off, they are terrified that they can’t control it. The narrative has been taken over and they can’t stop it with the usual censorship/gaslighting/propaganda etc. The Stevenage attacks you mention when indigenous patriots were firebombed broke out of containment; not sure if you mentioned the York machete attacks when mooslims attacked IPs putting up flags (allegedly heavily OFCOM suppressed).
In the same way that China will ban pictures of Winnie the Pooh, I’m seeing panicked censorship here. I have the NextDoor app, for local news, events and commentary etc, and I posted, with no comment, a picture of the union jack with bacon in the middle. They just censored it because it was ‘disrespectful’. (I asked how so but obvs I don’t expect a coherent reply, if any). NextDoor was heavily shilled/AIed/Botted/77thed during Covid and is part of the SM control mechanism, but I see more dissent there than previously, so they are trying to allow some venting.
One of the important things to come out of flag raising is to reveal the Institutional Anglophobia and flush bigots out (like the LIbDemmer saying the flag was ‘intimidating’ – only a foreigner could find the indigenous flag ‘intimidating’ and what does that tell you?). The 2tier response (England flags are distracting on the the road but other flags/LGBTP flags aren’t, etc) reveals the hatred for all to see. Still, at least we can paint all the potholes and finally get them fixed.
