Ash Wednesday [1 to 5]

(0437) Already it’s started … drops from three of our people, plus Young Bob on Alex Woman. Fascinating. Tell you what … for a pundit, for a news service, there’s an overwhelming amount of copy out there. Have a sombre Ash Wednesday. (0523)

 

5. My first tweet of the day over there

“Kathy Gyngell:

‘Mr. Farage had it in his power to lead a new genuine conservative right in British politics. By pandering to failed and unprincipled Tories he appears to have blown it.’

And moose limbs. He is being groomed for govt for sure. Restore is distraction to Them.”

(Incidentally … that quote is exactly the number of characters allowed on X.)

4. Interesting warning to Young Bob

These bleedin’ people who block embed are a pain:

All right, back to sshot and text:


Commenter Julie Armstrong:

“Some on the ‘woke right’ saw the wind blowing in Reform’s direction and the potential for future career opportunities. Farage’s 3rd go at a ‘more of the same with a few populist tweaks’ Party won’t frighten the horses. Restore has blindsided them.”

Order of Restore:

“Reform has been the most obvious establishment bait and switch ever, the original donors list told absolutely everything you needed to know.”

Milesey:

“Thought you wanted this country back? Yet it seems from this & your interview with Charlie Downes and your rant against Restore with Isabel you may just be controlled opposition. Used to love listening to you.”

2. Toodles on Maxwell

The good lady sent two clips … one on Woody Allen, the sleazeball, with Twiggy … the other with someone I once ran here and maybe again … Melanie King … on the GM dummy used at the congressional hearing:

The obvious question is … do they take us for fools. Second thought is yes, they do but also don’t care now how sloppy they are to fail to cover up these days.

Wednesday. Things are not going well in France.

a) Lyon is a hot-bed of violent Lefties. Last week-end a young man who was protecting a meeting of Right-wingers was beaten-up and killed. I have not reported it as things were progressing….

b) One can always trust Jean-Luc Melenchon [Head of LFI] to pour petrol on a conflagration….

c) Seven 9mm rounds of ammunition were discovered on January 13, 2026, in a cell in the semi-open unit of Osny prison (95)….

d) According to information from ‘Le Canard Enchaîné’, the Prime Minister’s agricultural advisor was dismissed shortly before Christmas for “drug use.” The PM Sébastien Lecornu’s aide reportedly overdosed at a party….
