It seems, with the ladies, to be not so much a continuum or normal curve but fabulous versus appalling.
Then we get this below way too often, which triggers thoughts of barge poles and would not go near:
Only as she was called out repeatedly on TV … which is part of the wider malaise of unprincipled young females of zero moral compass, slave to me me me, instant gratification via n1s, diseases and nothing but trouble …
… which in one sense protects them from rape by indigenous males but in increasing danger though from invader savages who see them as easy meat. And as our boys won’t go near them now … to whom do they turn in parks at night?
While grandmothers and mothers were still a factor in families, the insanity of the hormonal years was tolerable … but now? Especially with no fathers around?

Wishing Steve well and hoping he survives the family get-together. I once went on a road trip to avoid the family-gathering on Christmas Day, arranging to rock up around 1600 to my parents’ place … not sure it was ever forgiven by the wider family, never checked to find out.

Just before he was brutally murdered, Colonel Muammar Ghadaffi (sp?) said something along the lines of, “get rid of me and the floodgates of sub saharan immigrants will open”. Like so many dictators who have been swept aside in recent years he only cared for his own people. He kept his southern border tightly shut. Jobs in those oil fields were for Libyans, not Africans from the south. I was reminded of his statement when I saw this article. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/05/libyan-national-army-offers-to-help-uk-with-migrant-crisis/
… but reader comments are a vital part of this blog complex of four sites, plus OoL. Were I to x-y graph HQ as first column of the “x bar”, then NOWP, UHC-WP and lastly Jstack, excluding OoL altogether, it would come out as a hyperbola, its nadir being UHC-WP till recently … slight rise to the neglected Jstack due to quite a few mutual subscriptions between fellow substackers.
I’ve no idea of HQ stats, deliberately not installing it in the dashboard for operational reasons … I’ve found, from long experience that they become the focus for the blogger/tweeter and he/she will tailor the content to up the stats. I don’t like that on X and don’t like it on blog or vlog because it prevents going after this or that topic freely.
There’s been some activity at Jstack in comments … always was due to the nature of substack … I’ve been thinking I need to get comments there more visible here, as they tend to be thoughtful:
Meaanwhile, WP itself (across the two WPdotcom blogs) sent this yesterday:
This is the second most neglected site after Jstack until recently when I’ve started bringing it more into action and I really must get Jstack into it … problem at the latter is the dash and navigation tools are appalling there, requiring all sorts of clicking which they want us to do, plus it suits text only there with one pic per post, which is not my mode of blogging on the whole. To be fair, it arranged the line in the sand text nicely yesterday … Jstack does well text only on a “select all and paste” basis.
NOWP? Well comments count, by definition, is high, plus views. OoL wildly varies from a few hundred a day to a thousand and a half, depending on post … as it should be imho … the nature of the post determining interest at OoL.

1. Met office dishonesty via TDS
This opened the TDS post on their reports on Lowestoft and a few others:
“Last August, the Daily Sceptic drew attention to the UK Met Office inventing temperature data at its fictitious ‘open’ weather station at Lowestoft. Figures were said to be compiled from “well-correlated neighbouring stations”, but research by citizen sleuth Ray Sanders found there were no such operations within a 40-mile radius. At the time, the Daily Sceptic referred to the matter as a “smoking gun” and said that unless the Met Office could finally reveal its workings out, “the only realistic conclusion to draw is that the data are invented”. No explanation has been provided but in a shock unannounced move the Met Office has now withdrawn all the Lowestoft data from its historical record back to when the site closed in 2010. Similar withdrawals of data have also occurred in the stations at Nairm Druim and Paisley.”
Further down in the article, it mentions that they’re “calling on” the Met Office to investigate all temp readings up and down the country but of course … only inaction and brick wall. That is, citizen journos will have to do it station by station by station, while the M.O. unprofessionally and unethically sits on its haunches, obstructing.
