(1144) Ordinarily time for Ladies at Lunchtime, let’s put them at 1230 today, fashionably late, followed by another Persuaders … and run 11 and 12 for our “French” contingent now. (1159)
12. IYE has a vid at 882
JH: I know not a lot about Tobias Ellwood, except in passing, various blogposts etc. I found these two quickly, have only skimmed the vid so far.
More some time later, a few days? Never? 🙂
11. DAD at 882
a) New damage to the plaque on Samuel Paty Square, in the heart of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. A few hundred meters from the Assize Court where the trial of those responsible for his beheading is taking place…
b) The message is clear, unambiguous, frank, direct. No detour in the narrative. Just the essentials. For those who believed them lost, crushed by the state machine, the system, the yellow vests still have their say in this fight. A fight of ideas above all. IDNF participated in the reopening of the Longpoint sur Orge roundabout this Saturday.
c) While the SNCF Rail unions are calling for an unlimited strike starting on December 11, in particular to denounce “the destruction” of Fret SNCF, Sud-Rail is holding a different position.
d) Most people know that the French Revolution was against the Aristocracy, but do not know that the Catholic Church and its Priests were equally hated. One group of priests were put on an island and were starved to death, others were drowned.

JH: There was also St Bartholomew’s.
12. Dual citizenship. Brit and American. Seventy-7th Brigade.
Hmmm.
Ellwood is a complete tosser. Met him on my doorstep when he was doing Brexit stuff. Burns (my MP) was Bournemouth West and a for Leave, Ellwood was Bournemouth East and for Remain. God knows why Ellwood thought it was ok to canvas outside his constituency but I gave him both barrels anyway.
