(0736) Another late start, fellow hibernators, after a broken night around 0100 … no matter. Main thing today is, apart from DAD and Steve, four or five quite interesting items, quite specific items for those British, items which have dropped and I’ve saved for retrieval. Then there are the western items in general. Hope the tree and baubles are up, the Christmas fayre and gifts organised. Let’s start. (0916)
5. And so this is Christmas? Another year gone?
Another nail in the coffin?
4. DAD at 1225
a) In the face of growing violence in French society and resentment of its role, “the gendarmerie increasingly feels it is losing its soul and the meaning of its mission”….
b) “To save France, to save its schools, to save its public services, to save its economy, we have no other choice but to reduce immigration,” Charles Rodwell declared this Friday morning….
c) Donald Trump has just published the 2025 edition of the National Security Strategy, a US document that lists national security issues…. (JH: As I took apart two days ago … no mention of the real issues of deathcult invasion and takeover, no China, nothing about the other major threats. It’s rubbish … please see Mon 6)
d) Since the Revolution in the 1790s, and strengthened in1901, there has been a firm division between Church and State in France. This has been emphasised by the banning of Crèches in Mairies. A recent poll shows that the people oppose that requirement….
3. Somalis again
Obviously a cautionary tale … but which way? For whom? She maintains the Somali pair came at her provocatively, in order to get her reaction on film … and she gave it them. Her racism? Versus their criminal ethnicity? You can see how the globo-politburo-somali axis are shoring up their AOC position. And bunnies like Crystal and Bernie over here do what Aussies call “come in, spinner”:
Wiki: (It) refers to a phrase used in the Australian gambling game of two-up. “Come in spinner” or “Righto, come in spinner” is the call given by the game manager when all bets are placed and the coins are ready to be tossed.

- Much more.
1. For those renting … or perhaps soon to be
There was a debate between Anna Paulina and some interview bird over Black Rock or Stone or whatever it is … the evil muvver who has visited N10 a few times about buying up property, inc. farmland and private homes … lo and behold, a landlord came fwd to Lord Toby in Greater London, in TDS newsletter today:
I dare not put my own name to this article because, if I admit to being a private rental landlord, I will attract as much disgust and horror as if I were a paedophile. I am Satan incarnate. And because people believe this, I will actually have to make 10 children homeless over the next few months. I may not be Satan, but I am also not a charity.
My time as a landlord began, as for quite a few of my generation, after I retired. I am someone who hates the idea of being dependent on the State and worries that even a private pension may not meet my needs in extreme old age. So I saved like crazy for decades.
As most pundits say these days … well worth a read … through to the end, I’d suggest. Implications for the soon to be renting are many.
