28. Love the comments under this very post
… thanks, chaps … shall feature them tomorrow, hoping for a report on the rally. There’s also Andy and DAD over at 1383 … about the cold.
27. Completely forgot to run this before this post
… so I ran it at UHC-WP just now. Think it’s worth it … I know we’ve had the song before, so let’s go back, Jack and do it again.
26. Tale of a horse’s backside
25. Two complementary sexes
24. Tick Gates’ box
23. The CIA
22. Data Center anyone?
21. The TR rally
23. In Donny’s first administration we were forever being told how corrupt the agencies were yet now we’re expected to trust them. Can’t have it both ways. Covid happened under Donny watch, as did the alleged demise of Island man. We’d do well to remember that. Also Hellary is not in jail. The deception continues.
21. The TR rally – according to Peter Bleksley, a former Scotland Yard Detective, there was a meeting of senior met police and MI5 yesterday morning. We expect extreme provocation – they want a permanent ban on these rallies. I’ll be joining some lads in green and red berets and we’ll be on the look-out for agents provocateurs – there were only a handful last year and they were soon snuffed out. Starmer has been on social media today, with a warning about “thugs and racists” organisers, then he mumbled something about the “soul of the nation” and “common purpose”. He didn’t say which nation it was he was talking about but Wes Streeting did. This from his resignation letter:
‘Last week’s election results were unprecedented – both in terms of the scale of the defeat and the consequences of that failure. For the first time in our country’s history, nationalists are in power in every corner of the United Kingdom – including a dangerous English nationalism represented by Nigel Farage and Reform UK. This represents both an existential threat to the future integrity of the United Kingdom, but Reform UK also represent a threat to the values and ideals that have made this country great.’
Complete bollocks. The speaker bans are up to 12 now so this is slightly out of date..

Roll on tomorrow 🙂
Apparently, the Met will be using facial recognition systems against one group, who rarely, if ever, mask their faces, but it’s said will not use that technology against a rival group, who usually wear face masks to evade recognition. And they seem to think that that is efficient Policing. Am I missing something here?
The deployment of facial recognition technology is covered here, Penseivat..

JH: See 1384:1 for both of these.
23. The CIA – ceased being a force for good five minutes after it took over from the Office of Strategic Services (1942-45)..

29. As I understand it, a sitting, Labour, MP who is expected to be paid roughly £300,000 over the next 3 years, which is the length of the current government, is willing to stand down, forfeiting that salary, to enable a fellow Socialist apply to take over his Parliamentary seat. Either that MP deserves political sainthood, or is accepting an undisclosed bung to do so. If the latter, perhaps it should be made clear who is providing that bung? No evidence though, that the Labour Party are doing anything unethical. Of course there’s no such evidence!
An old friend from my childhood died this week – that’s why I took a few days off from posting. His name was David. Like me he did an apprenticeship in the 70’s, mine precision engineering, his a shipwright. Dave was a boatbuilder; old school, wood. Highly skilled he had a hundred different tools and he knew every last one of them. A teak rowboat he made age 18 now sits in his garden, full of flowers: an apprenticeship piece he was allowed to keep. We used to go fishing in that, many moons ago. RIP Dave. Love you mate.

JH: Lovely tribute, Steve.
