… is beyond the minutes of the day. There’s also a new (old) Paul Temple I’m going through, plus things coming thick and fast via email. Plus check out Seward, Alaska, Gog and Magog.

Plus your writings in comments and at NOWP.

My visitors tired me greatly, I missed my after-lunch siestas. Last night (Friday 28/08/2026) I went to bed early and slept to (I thought) 0h55). I switched on the radio to hear the midnight news (01h00 French time), but I was surprised to hear Dr Aseem Malhotra discussing injuries suffered by some partakers of the Covid jollop. As I listened I realised that the programme was almost at the beginning. I realised that I must have miss-read the digital clock, it was actually 0h35.

That the BBC would have such a programme was remarkable. I understood that it is one of a few in the series “Doctors’ Orders: Everything Is Fake and Nobody Cares“

 

(0742) Morning all. Gathering done for now. (0808)

2. Restore related

Why are potential Restore voters truly implacable, which becomes the single, most formidable, irreconcilable difference, though with Reform voters’ more strategic, “bend one’s principles if it will just get rid of LibLabCon stance” mindset, they can only fail to understand that this “split the vote” argument is a nothingburger to anyone Restore … it’s just theatre for the duped.

Reform voters, lukewarm on principle as long as it edges out RedBlueGreenYellow in the Establishment Grand Game, urge … come on “Right”, let’s all join together here, solidarity bros and sisses … talking as if they, Reform, are in any solid way themselves “Right” or antiwoke. Reform honchos, the gang at the top, say whatever is necessary to appease the public mood but the 10% by election vote outspoken Restorers, plus the “disgusted by politics altogether” non-voters, say bollox to that … your gang at the top can’t be trusted to do anything the country truly needs. Wot, Shariah Law?

Rank and file Reform middle-Britainers, duped by the MSM, continue to play this forlon game of entirely false hope. The great saviour, Farage, is anything but a saviour, quite the opposite. He’s a performative showman playing his role as faux dissenter, then selling out to creeps like Boris.

Even if we buy Nige’s protesting that he was duped by Boris, who reneged … well for crying out loud, how naive was Farage, believing anything at all that a Buller Boy says? No political classer is going to give up the least smidgen of acquired power … his or her whole persona is geared towards gaining and clawing onto power(s). End of.

Plus he/she has zero choice anyway of dissenting, being “owned” by the shadow money, the shadow blackmailers.

It’s a very Restore thing to point all this out, why we’re so deeply cynical and untrusting. Are you starting to see the essential difference between a “reasonable on the surface”, “let’s bend our firm principles if it will achieve our goal of power” road to hell … and Restore’s “no way we’ll bend on this” mindset … certainly not to that morally bankrupt lot, the gang at the top of Reform … led by a tyrant.

Emotive descriptor there, “tyrant”? A Reformer says well ok, Nige and Zia “went too far” in getting rid of Lowe. NO, say Restorers … “getting rid of” used to mean firing from cabinet, relegating to the backbench, shunning.

That’s not what happened here. Those two creeps tried to JAIL Lowe or have him committed to a loony bin … for real … not just rhetorically. Think that one through, don’t skip over it. That’s the sort of people at the top of Reform. Or Tice’s infamous “that lot” comment. Just how are they any different to Blair Brown Johnson May Campbell? Seriously.

Now which of you reading this are so morally far gone that you cannot see the huge gulf in Yusuf Farage responses to a pesky member, versus standard parliamentary practice? Can you not see that? Because if not, then there is a gulf between us too.

So what then is all this bollox about “unite the Right”? Reform’s gang of honchos are no way Right. They mouth appeasing things when it suits, like Bad Enough the WEFer. They are all the same gang and their guiding principle is taqiyya.

a) The Labour government is reviewing potential legislation to ban first-cousin marriages following a controversial deportation case and mounting pressure over public health concerns.

b) Two people were killed and at least ten more were left injured Wednesday night after a man crashed a car into a group of people at the northern French city of Caen.

c) Europe’s next migration crisis is already visible in the desert south of Libya, in the overcrowded apartments of Cairo, in the boats leaving Tobruk for Greece. A convergence of pressures, desperation and opportunity may lead to a crisis of unprecedented proportions.

d) Vatican–China contentious Accord: how the Holy See Is appeasing a Communist Regime. By continuing the agreement with the CCP, the Vatican is essentially supporting its distortion of religious practices and is perilously nearing complicity in the escalating human rights violations within the country.

e) A man disguised as a Milsum to interview Smilsum. If you want to know Smilsum’ position on Cimalsi terrorism, watch this clip.

(1645) Almost evening … damp out there. Fish n julienned fries soon.

 

24. Something to tide us over till tomorrow

Always liked this one, maybe the exotic setting … I had quite an adventure myself in Geneva too … or rather on the boat going there.

17. Vox on an economist talking out of turn

The Exile of an Economist

“What we can expect over the coming years is a concerted effort, led by part of the mainstream community of which The Economist is merely the vanguard, to devalue Acemoglu’s reputation, not so much on technical grounds as on account of his political “eccentricities.” As we have seen, this is not the first case and probably will not be the last, but the underlying logic has been in place for a very long time. The aura of respectability within the mainstream economics community depends both on technical foundations (with a high degree of mathematical sophistication, which makes the work largely inaccessible to the general public) and on the “reasonableness” of one’s political conclusions.”
