(0639) Morning all, got in a short second sleep here, hope all is well there for the new week, Holy Week. I never used to commemorate this week all that much until Good Friday but this year … yes … mainly because the Christian underpinning of our society, our west, is under serious assault, plus I must admit … using the word Holy infuriates all the right people.

5. The state of the NHS now

4. Before going any further
… I’m going to re-post DAD’s last item in full:
“Although Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party is far from having secured the resounding victory it claims in the press following its results in the March 2026 French municipal elections, it has won a few symbolic strongholds that allow it to assert that a “new France” is emerging.”
There’s all out war there, all out war here, truth is obviously the first casualty. The creeps controlling our pollies obviously feel they’re on the home stretch here, otherwise they’d not show their corruption so openly. At this point, cue Steve’s General Kemp summary at 1337 … who, precisely, is going to stop globopsycho? The supposed right is banned or crippled on the continent, despite the gender win at the EU parlmt, all eyes on Orban, though he has the added bonus of Vlad being an ally in real terms.
Meanwhile, the duped normies in all western countries are just that … duped and unwilling to face reality, preferring to call the refuseniki such as Restore “extremists” and “racists”. There’s a thing called recognising reality too early … give it time and far more will see it … everything has its time.
3. DAD at 1337
Monday. Computer problem – better late than never. (JH: Indeed DAD, much appreciated by all.)
a) Is Pakistan finally facing the monster it created? Is Europe prepared for the consequences? The answer is in the smoke rising over the Durand Line. For decades, the Islamabad establishment has played a dangerous game, nurturing the Taliban as a strategic depth agent against India.
b) This is Paris, France 2026. Relax and enjoy the new culture.
c) In the areas where they have just been elected, the mayors from La France Insoumise (LFI) are already making a name for themselves for all the wrong reasons.
