“JC said these were “very serious matters” that required him to ask a “further, very important question”:
“Can he reassure the House that since Kebatu was released, no other asylum-seeking offender has been accidentally let out of prison?”
Everybody (including Lammy, as he later admitted) knew the answer to that already. It was in the morning edition of the the Daily Telegraph: there had indeed been another inadvertent release of a foreign jailbird, an Algerian this time.”
“In an unusual outing for The Saint, our hero conspires with the aunt of a spoilt heiress to teach her petulant charge some good manners by forcing her to accompany him on a 10-day trek by foot across Spain. The ostensible reason for this act of altruism on Simon’s part is that the heiress is betrothed to his best friend. The aim, evidently, is to reform the woman-child before she inflicts a lifetime of misery on her husband-to-be.
The heiress is an utterly obnoxious, self-entitled brat, continually throwing tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. She thoroughly deserves everything Simon metes out to her in this latter day Taming of the Shrew.
Inevitably some critics will accuse the scriptwriters of sexism, misogyny, and a host of other gender crimes merely because the brat is a woman and her tormentor a man. I think that’s humbug. If the shoe were on the other foot, and a stern matron was teaching a few home truths to a self-absorbed playboy, the same critics would be chortling with glee.
Not a bad episode, but it hardly ranks among the best. To me the biggest puzzle is what could have possessed Simon’s friend to have proposed marriage to such a spoilt, narcissistic bimbo. He must have been hard up for cash or blinded by her feminine charms. In either case, he owes Simon more than he can know.”
My afterthoughts:
Some reviewers objected to the “sexism” … ST would be running great risks, post 1996/7, were he in the English speaking west. Even so, in 1962 Britain, it was maybe OTT even then, who knows? Yet against that, it IS Roger Moore, so a girl might accept it more.
To my mind, the casting of the female is the issue … even when chastened near the end, she’s still quite iffy, not my cup of tea anyway. At the same time today, seeing Steve B’s chart quiz, there was a song You Sexy Thing, reissued in 1996/7, plus there was another version at the same time by T shirt which I can’t sit through. That bratty, kick butt boss-girl wonderwoman thing was coming into its own … hence all the wall-hitting today and “why don’t men want us”.
Lay that squarely at the door of Fabian feminazism. Those two in that song … what self-respecting man would go anywhere near either of em?
And yes, it’s easy to reverse it and target obnoxious, come-on line men … or simps … or mansplainers or the violent, or today’s beta males or troons. To me, clear gender roles involves chivalry. Not sure how a sigma becomes chivalrous but that’s what I see as the summum bonum for men who had fathers during their upbringing.

13. Steve
Much as I revere Steve and AKH … hesitated to run this below because of the excruciating interviewers. In a similar way, this afternoon’s AKH theatre I hesitated over, not liking the bratty girl at all, even if she dd get her comeuppance.
11. Fifth “criminal” to be examined… Shauni Ray Kerkhoff
THIS IS:
Christopher Wray’s confidential human source, James Ehren Knowles, who infiltrated the Proud Boys, leading Pelosi’s staged insurrection downstairs in the garage of the Capitol building on January 6 — while Pelosi—-upstairs, filming it. pic.twitter.com/fhfIrTfU7u
(0503) Still dark here, folks. I would suggest readers bookmark Mon 6 for the future, that is … if any friend of yours is having such a family issue, show them that post item. (0534)
10. Just a couple which Pam noticed
9. Fourth “criminal” to be examined … Phillips
The “more” of the “show more” here is that man’s post, which he appears to have deleted.
8. Svali mentioned their Achilles heel was unforeseen error
7. Third “criminal” to be examined … Obama
6. Families will split, approaching the endtime
She allowed liberalism to destroy her relationship with her mother.
She now realizes that networks like CNN were programming her to hate anyone who didn’t think like her.
(0420) Still dark out there. Not as many topics this morning but each is long. (0502)
5. Second of the “crims” examined … Pence
I’m now relying on your own archives of what was posted at N.O., via Polly on Bitchute, on Pence. There was, for example, a chart in the YT posted which showed Pence in relation to PEPFAR and that involved other names which have come up, e.g. Brock, Gates … it’s quite murky.
It also needs to be said that unless you took the advice long ago and bookmark away from your main device, e.g. on stick or hard drive, or you wrote the main points on paper … then when the spoonfeeding does end, when the data is no longer readily available, your own files now kick in. I have some of it on Pence but not at this abode, not on stick or drive here.

2. The Senate sweetheart deal of Thune and Demons
It’s perfectly obvious what’s going on here … Thune is assuming executive powers for himself … i.e. he alone approves the way it will be, what the Demons get of their demands. It then lands on Trump’s desk to refuse. The moment he refuses, due to Demonic things slipped in, then the entire Demon media blames Trump for people not being paid.
The Fox link is below but be careful about clicking within the article … it’s a Fox hard sell of its own wares.
a) Tim Davie resigns as BBC’s director-general – with CEO of BBC News also stepping down. The resignations come as the BBC is expected to apologise on Monday….
b) Belgium, home to Euroclear — an international central securities depository that holds most of the frozen Russian assets — is demanding firm guarantees before allowing that money to be used [by the EU for (the) Ukraine].
c) Spain. Last month, the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan police) arrested five people in Mollerussa for buying a 14-year-old girl for €5,000 and forcing her to marry an adult.
d) It’s a mad, mad world. “For your information, in Hungary, the number of illegal immigrants is zero. Because we have a crystal-clear system for entries and exits. If someone wants to enter Hungary, they must first apply.
