9. From Lord Toby’s TDS today
“Safeguarding, like its redeployed stablemates diversity and inclusion, has joined the ranks of words that means the opposite of what was intended. Scepticism around alleged ‘safeguarding’ has finally reached the mainstream media. Rod Liddle writes in this week’s Sunday Times about how a ‘safeguarding risk’ is actually a bureaucratic tool to beat people with who don’t share the elite-sanctified views concerning immigration, terrorists and Nigel Farage (good, good, bad).”
The error Mary Gilleece and so many others make is to think of Farage as good (posts passim).
8. Rolf and PMQs again
Rolf is the closest we can get to Westminster today type analysis without going to Guido. With respect to Guido plus Rolf, the way public events have moved just in this last year renders Westminster a den of the corrupt and the psychopathic. Psychopathic and it’s associated term sociopathic refer in this case to not only complete non-interest in the lives of those “electing” them but actual despising and even hatred of the people of the land, a la Jack Straw. Compare this to Rupert Lowe.
It’s not too much of a stretch to call them lowlifes, bottom feeders … yes, WEFer Badenough included.

“Almost daily I hear how dreadful another actor really was, not that the one in question was any real special actor because he was not, but one grows up hearing his name and watching him in a silly sit com.
I am thinking he once had a stand up comic routine, played the ukulele, if I remember correctly. His brother was famous and just turned 100 yrs old … Jerry Van Dyke is the one I am speaking of. He was absolutely terrible if Crazy Days and….is to be believed.
It is reported that he molested his daughter and also allowed his friends to do the same…one being a favorite of mine, Robert Mitchum. He was sometimes a drinking buddy guest with JVD staying as a guest at the house. If the story is to be believed JVD, the father, made his daughter join ‘the guest’ in the guest room.
She talked about it on a show or interview around 1990. She told what happened. After she unalived herself (boy, ain’t it ridiculous we cannot use real words) that interview was hidden. Not sure how it has now gotten out.
Watching films with so many perverted individuals certainly is not my cup of tea, I can assure you!
Anyway, it is a very disgusting thing to hear about. I cannot even imagine how she dealt with things…obviously not well since she was a druggie and done herself in.
The thing is, I imagine boys suffer horrible atrocities and most deal with it in silence more than not. Horrible…especially since it is even more perverted than the other which of course is perverted and horrible.
No telling the suffering many people endure who we might even pass on the street from time to time. We might even pass the people perpetrating such hideous and vile abusive acts on them and others too.”
JH: More HERE and I notice one commenter mention Martin Landau too.
