“Lammy = Reparations = bankruptcy”.
“I recall Lammy saying that his ancestors experienced slavery. What he didn’t say, was that the Bantu, Lammy’s tribal culture, as an offshoot of the Zulu tribe were one of the biggest slavers in Africa, selling their captives to both Europeans and Islamic traders. His ancestors may well have experienced slavery, but he will not say from which side. So I would suggest not only reparations from him, or his tribe, to Britain for the costs of the East Africa Squadrons, which rescued thousands and returned them to freedom, but also reparations to the descendants of those sailors and Marines who died, plus making up for the loss of the nation’s GDP at that time. I think that will do for a start, don’t you?”
On servicemen after their service:
“When I joined the British Army in 1962, I attended a lecture by an RAEC officer about my future. It had nothing to do about my military service, but about planning my return to civilian life. One piece of advice, was to put our names down on the council house list of the area we wanted to live in, and to do this as soon as possible, so that we could climb up the waiting list whilst serving. Then, when our military service was nearing an end, to contact that council to confirm our date of discharge and enquire of a predicted waiting time. If our circumstances changed, and we didn’t need a council house, it was easier to remove from that list, than to apply after discharge. Whether this information is still given, I have no idea.
On completing pensionable service, we received a gratuity of 3 times our annual pension, which could be used to ease ourselves into civilian life, or use as a deposit on house purchase. This gratuity could be increased by taking a reduced pension over a period of time, which is what I did, allowing me to buy a property more suitable to the needs of my family and I. Again, I have no idea if this financial arrangement still applies (I retired in the mid 1980’s).
With the politicisation of councils, several apparently anti British, I can see problems over ex military being automatically guaranteed council houses on return to civilian life. What the answer is, I can only suggest options, though I am sure those more intelligent than me will come up with a solution.
If you are in the military, consider the six P’s – Prior Planning Prevents P*ss Poor Performance – and plan for your future.”
Off topic, sorry if it appears I’m trying to take over the blog! (JH: This is taken up in Fri 6.)

Consider this…as a Provincial Grammar school boy (early 70s) I believe I was given the greatest of educations. Elderly Teachers that had seen battle..actual war. Thousand yard gazers. Critical thinking was welcomed. Knuckles were rapped Sport was brutal and demanding. No quarter given. Heaven help you if you carried a few pounds…”Fatty”.
Explosive chemistry lessons (magnesium) , electrical and sparky physics (ouch!) , disturbing biology (strange things in jars) etc etc.
The current version of the human race peaked out around about that time I think.
Gibbon was on the curriculum….ironically.

a) Do you remember Archbishop Lefebvre? Marcel François Marie Joseph Lefebvre was a French Catholic prelate. He was a major influence in modern traditionalist Catholicism, founding in 1970 the Society of Saint Pius X to train traditionalist seminarians who preferred the Mass in Latin. Vatican II said that it should be in the local language.
b) France. Hantavirus : more FearPorn. In the event of an epidemic, the stock of masks in France is sufficient for “a minimum of three months”, assures Matignon.
c) More escapes hit Paris’s Vincennes immigrant detention centre. Four immigrants escaped from the administrative detention centre in Paris’s 12th arrondissement.
d) This Explains A Lot About Zack Polanski! (real name David Paulden).
1. One by one, outlets are hit
This was in the Gab newsletter today:
“Yesterday, we received a call from one of our payment processing partners. We were informed that our international underwriting bank has officially banned Gab. Their justification? They claim that I personally appear on a “blacklist” produced by the SPLC and ADL.
This is not a coincidence. This ban follows perfectly on the heels of the Australian government’s public attack on this platform earlier this week. This is the price we pay for actually meaning it when we say we defend free speech.
Thankfully, we have a few backups in place because this is not our first rodeo. Over the last decade, we have been banned by dozens of payment processors, banks, and even crypto exchanges for refusing to bend the knee to the globalist establishment. We know their playbook, and we are prepared for the fight.”
The aspect which continually gets me is the utter impunity or chutzpah with which they do these things … people’s entire livelihoods destroyed etc. etc. Then there are the blacklists and warning panels.
Unherdables is certainly on a few, which is a double-edged sword for the site(s) as it means that the valiant and bloodyminded still get through, which is nice. The platforms though are the ones really getting it in the neck.
