3. Housekeeping
As mentioned at 1466:18, DAD appears to be having posting issues at NOWP, whilst IYE appears to also be having here … see comment under Sat [6&7].
I’m also getting reports (plural) from America that they’re not receiving youtube access to certain youtubes from over here. Add to that my spam attack issue (see yesterday’s post item 6). Plus the keyboard not typing the keys I’m tapping but the ones beside them.
Any common factors? Well maybe it’s only the nourishing unherdable set of sites, no one else has issues. Also, it seems to be our France-based chaps plus me. Our Brit-based seem to have escaped.
Would be interested in your status report.
Now, as to IYE, I would never delete a Miss Marple … or was it a comment, in comments, on Miss Marple? Not sure. At least, if I did, there would be an explanation, especially for one of our three main “droppers”. Plus IYE did not return yesterday. France again?
Those Miss Marples can be found at Sat item 8.

a) The British public’s view on immigration is even more negative than it was in the wake of the 2016 Brexit referendum to leave the European Union and take back control of the nation’s borders.
b) UK. Burnham Suffers By-Election Defeat Hours After Farage Win. The Liberal Democrats won local by-elections in Devon and Yorkshire, defeating Labour and Reform UK and dealing a setback to Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions.
c) Russia’s growing blockade of Ukrainian shipping in the Black Sea is threatening both Ukraine’s economy and global food security. With more than 90 per cent of Ukrainian agricultural exports passing through Black Sea ports, prolonged disruptions could cause farmers to struggle to find storage for their backed-up goods, break foreign contracts, and put pressure on global food markets.
d) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has mocked the United Kingdom by referring to it as the “Islamic Republic of Britain”, suggesting it could become the first nuclear-armed Islamic republic, during a podcast interview released on August 13, 2026.
e) USA. Fiasco in the factory: taxpayers funded a $533 Million artillery plant that made nothing.
f) Violent brawl erupts on Ceuta beach as illegal Moroccans cause chaos for terrified Spanish locals.
1. Gab is 10 today
… Andrew Torba:
“Today marks 10 years of Gab. What started in 2016 as a simple mission to defend free speech has survived deplatforming, censorship, government pressure, attacks, threats, and just about everything else you can imagine. Through all of it, you stood with us and kept us building.
I published a special 10th anniversary article today looking back at that incredible journey, the sacrifices along the way, and why I believe the next decade—especially our work with Gab AI—may be even more important than the first.”
Gab was certainly an idea which had its day, maybe still does but it seems to be largely American in scope, in the 2016 MAGA mould, even Q, Christian Nationalist (an interesting concept). I still have one friend over there posting, Lainey.
