(0802) Morning all! We’re at the tail end of a full blown storm here, window blown out and wet floor but that’s about it, temp near freezing but meant to be 9C (48F) later. Storm is meant to pass by around 0900. Light coming up and looks an angry sky just now, wall to wall. Just wrote to Julia, after Toodles:
“Caught in a storm here, don’t know what the rest of the UK had, window blown out. Why did I not know about it until within it? No MSM here and X was in North American gear.”
Right, without giving too much away, we are in a pocket here, even different climate to a few miles away in town … so when you lot (UK) have a snow or storm, we have an idyll and vice-versa … not so much the snow. You can be under a few inches of the wet fluff, we have nothing but wind.
This has messed up the sleep pattern (storm started about 2200 last evening) but did sleep through most of it. I’ll venture out to check the house damage after it dies away. (0902)

Reader, you may wish to familiarise yourself with some names who repost items or even post …
Christine Easdale was the Reform cllr I think who resigned and is uncompromisingly of the politics of these pages and at OoL … far harder, more populist, inc. our armed forces, largely, short shrift with the lily-livered and preverts but at the same time, split on tactics. More on that in an upcoming post.
In this majority (I believe) are many currently Reform but who see no alternative (middling normies in deep shock are these Reforms-for-now), plus us who do deep dive a bit. Names include Donna Rachel (hardline anti-rape-gang, as a former victim), Jess Gill, Charlotte Gill, Wendy Patterson, Harry Rag, I’ll add more names later.
But I’m also friendly with these middling, mainly southerners, e.g. Sandy Tregent (full blown love Nigel Reform, Suffolk, otherwise sane), Jen, more names later but including the empire building “new journo, pay to subscribe” types like Dan Wootton, Nick Dixon, Father Calvin … don’t know much but they make the right GB type noises, like Fox in the States, Hannity etc. Question mark patriots I call them.
Golden rules for me, red flags, include substack type single column, big important journo types, buy me a coffee types, choose your level of subscription to me. Slick presentations are alarm bells, also opacity as to origins.
One name on the “sound, good people” list imho include Vicky, usually reposting … if I see her name, I almost always read what she’s reposted. She was full-on UKIP in the old days, felt betrayed like most of us, TBP, initially Reform, then Rupert, not so much Ben but respect due. Tommy’s not a dirty word but all the same … careful of the agenda. Israel? I loved September 13th last year, done well by Tommy and backers. The raped girls are usually pretty good, politically.
Donna above is “take no prisoners anti gang rapist bstds” … a good girl but hard. Our Roobee is a good girl, ditto our Julia … some find her a bit “hang em” high, plus of course Leggy, Longrider, similar.

a) The reason Iranian protesters are burning mosques, is not blind hatred, we are not Palestinians. It has a concrete, practical reason, and there is a very important lesson in it for you in the West….
b) French Members of Parliament approved Article 1 of the proposed law (PPL) on Monday, January 26, aimed at banning social media access for minors under 15.
c) The right-wing Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) is calling for an immediate end to all aid from Austria to Ukraine….
d) Instead of being ‘Off Piste’, these skiers will be ‘Pisted up to the eyebrows’. Three Maltese nationals suspected of trafficking nitrous oxide….
We woke up to the sound of rain apparently being fired at the windows. Unusually loud but nothing as bad as yours. Foul morning but easing off now.
……
JH: Yep, window blown out means blown wide open, rather than broken … good safety valve for abode, otherwise something would break. Still, pretty wild squalls here which is understandable where we are in the wild north-west.
We’ve had non-stop rain since Saturday evening interspersed with strong winds. No structural damage – few small branches down. Turned cold again too. No wood deliveries until mid Feb so we are limiting our dwindling stack. Need the fire to dry us out. Awful being damp and cold – cold and dry is tolerable. Usually the residual storms in the east of USA find their way over to our side a few days later. Where’s Michael Fish when you need him? Hope you get the window etc fixed pronto. What are the chances?

Just repeating what I put under AKH’s (our notes crossed):

“Need the fire to dry us out. Awful being damp and cold – cold and dry is tolerable.” Indeed, IYE. This is that bitter, damp cold … my eyes and ears ain’t good, heading back to bed soon.

Whilst we’re on WW2 I’d like to correct Grok AI on something. In the Huff on X post below the ‘Amelia’ video meme has a scene at 1:30 showing Amelia with what should be British troops on a landing craft. The helmets and uniforms are American..

Sorry, noob here, does “Steve at 1275” guide me somewhere?

JH: Yes it does, Ben. We don’t overexplain as a rule … the secret lies in the navbar for all things unherdable … between policies and uhc.
