(0903) Greetings, patrons and friends (those still here). Well you can see the time I dropped off and just now am restarting … that’s one heck of a sleep in my terms. Makerfield review? Soon. Have not looked at any news since the wee hours (aptly named with my new condition). You ok there? Fetid, humid air around our way. Airing the abode floods it with more grunge, a bit like (… no, best not put an analogy from the western situation). (1117)

Ta for best wishes, DAD.
a) In 2025, internal security forces recorded 36,900 traffic stop offences, including 28,200 cases of refusing to comply with police orders. This number increased by 9% in one year, primarily due to a rise in refusals to comply with police orders (+10%), particularly in their aggravated form (+16%).
b) On Thursday, June 11th, the European Central Bank announced an increasein its three policy-setting interest rates:
c) Spain wants same immigration policy as Vatican, says Vox leader Abascal after pope’s latest call for open borders.
d) I am not sure if I have run this before.
1. Right, I suppose I must write sommit on’t
Hold on while I check out incoming and X. The enemy Spectator:
“The Mayor of Greater Manchester managed to comfortably beat even the most optimistic of polls by winning an impressive 24,937 votes, more than 20 points higher than Reform’s Robert Kenyon 15,696 (34.5 per cent).
In a distant third came Restore Britain’s Rebecca Shepherd who took 3,111 votes (6.8 per cent), enough to keep her deposit. In an impassioned address, Burnham suggested tonight ‘could be the turning point’ for the country and the ‘final chance to change’ for the Labour party.”
🍿🍿🍿🍿

Yep, completely F’ed over Reform brass, the corrupt, snooty, Uniparty bunch. Burnham? They want him pushing Starmer out. Red rosette thickos though, of low IQ, cannot of course see that Burnham is much worse, which will precipitate us non communists into finally allying, maybe physically next time.
Maybe it was all part of the Grand Plan from Above. Either way, the fabian communist hegemony in Britain must stop, one way or the other.
First step … Farage and all the creepy politburo must be sent to Elba … no bleedin’ way is he British opposition, nor his £19m owners. He’s an establishment plant. End of.

I forgot to add…….I’m so glad to be inside my old cottage with ¾ metre thick walls where it never goes above 26°C.
Builders of 300 years ago knew how to build house that remained cool.

JH: Indeed DAD … I found that in Sicily … different approach.
Living near the Dorset coast we get a nice sea breeze most days when it’s hot. That said as we approach midday it’s 23°C here in Poole. So pleasantly warm. James it sounds like you have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) that may need treatment with antibiotics. In the past I’ve had NSU (Non-Specific Urethritis), probably from a soiled sleeping bag – no choice, it was either that or I froze to death on a hillside far away. Nocturia needs investigating, James. A wider health point: our host needs a damn good rest. Discuss.
3. I’m trying to figure out if the seat lifts and if it does are wee men able stand close enough?
1. This was not a vote for Burnham, this was a vote against Starmer. Keep the faith, in six months we will see that nothing has changed, the message may change but the policies won’t.
Somewhat agree Andy, a leadership challenge is now certain and will hopefully push Labour into a death spiral of wingnuttery on the Left. Fingers crossed 🙂
