3. DAD at 1517

a) Retour des Gilets jaunes. {Return of the Yellow Vests.} November 2018: the Gilets Jaunes movement began, just eighteen months after the election of President Emmanuel Macron. Even then, fuel prices were the driving force behind this popular mobilisation, which brought together millions of people across the country. October 2026: the situation remains just as explosive, and Petrol is still just as expensive—with another presidential election now only seven months away.

b) French Student Protesters chant “Bismillah, c’est les ténèbres” — roughly translating to “In the name of God, it’s the darkness”.
A slogan mixing Islamic invocation “Bismillah” with French street slang has become a controversial rallying cry for high school protests….[One asks oneself, Why?]

c) National Security Adviser’s wife appears to back Palestine Action. Author Sarah Helm, married to NSA Jonathan Powell, tweeted in support of Sally Rooney in the wake of Adam Boulton’s criticism:… “God help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action”. Reform’s Danny Kruger has written to Andy Burnham after Sarah Helm, wife of National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell, appeared to support Palestine Action in a post on X yesterday. Palestine Action is a proscribed organisation.

d) Calling migrants ‘illegal’, criticising political Islam, holding party socials centred around alcohol or highlighting Islamic hostility towards homosexuality could all fall under the Muslim Greens’ proposed guidance on Islamophobia. The recently published document comes as the party itself battles extremism and Islamist influence from within.

e) Kiran Kaur, the mother of Henry Nowak’s murderer, who was imprisoned for hiding the dagger used in the killing, could be released after serving just one-third of her three-year sentence under Labour’s new Earned Progression Scheme. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage called the move an ‘insult to decency’ and said she should serve the full term before being deported. (JH: Typical Farage full steam on the easy ones to improve his cred while avoiding the tough questions.)

(0621) Straight to the Katie Zacharia saga. (0642)

 

Just wondering if body shape might have influenced the set-up or decision in some way:

There were more sensible takes on it all but let’s start with enemy territory, CNN:

And the “sensible” ones?

Three possible topics this Saturday morning with much incoming on them:

• The Katie Zacharia ousting, Susan Wiles etc. (goes on nearly forever)
• The food additive tale in the UK (we discussed at UHC yesterday)
• Doctors’ appointments through NHS now (only one item)

I’m thinking the most useful for Orphans and Jstack readers might be the food additive avoidance ideas, assuming you know about the December 13th mandatory adding of folic acid, not folate, to non wholemeal flour in the UK, though I note it’s already in breads I saw in the US.

Contra-indications, medically, are a few, inc. those with stents (inc. moi) and those it’s meant to help are apparently pregnant women. There’s the aspect of the govt messing with our food of course, plus major commercial industrialising of food, inc. seed oils, palm oil … ain’t good.

Steve suggested this:

The petition: End the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid immediately | https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/769589

Also:

Automatic Mini Breadmaker SD-PN100 | https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/home-appliances/breadmakers/sd-pn100.html

My own (came from Rossa) is still operational:

However, I’ve been examing the Jason line at Morrisons:

IYE suggests: Flour of the unfortified type. 🍞🥖

Unfortified Flour, Unenriched Flour, Non-Additive Flour & Pure Flour

They also sell French flour which is unfortified. Ooh la la! If we make bread for the freezer we cut it into toaster sized slices first then it is always ready for breakfast or snacking. Nothing worse than fancying a piece of toast and having to wait to defrost the whole loaf.

Andy wrote: I’m getting spelt flour from Morrisons. M&S also don’t fortify their flour or bread mixes yet, or just aren’t telling us. I hand made a white loaf the other day from a bread mix, yeast etc added. Turned out nice. Next time I’ll bake two or three, good way to fill up corners of the freezer.

Isilme: Another place in the UK to get flour without folic acid (white or wholemeal) is . https://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/
But I like the look of Ratton Pantry too. I will have to investigate fully as they seem to have a range of unusual flours. I’m enjoying making bread but I’m unhappy with the breadmaker now because the loaves have a hole where the paddle goes. So when I have a bit of time I might try making a no-knead bread and see how that gets on.

JH: Ratton Pantry, by the way, is in Eastbourne. Also, if I missed your suggestions here, pls forgive, not intentional, do tell us.

(1519) Afternoon all. Enjoy your chish and fips later.

 

26. Le Pen’s true colours showing

First doing a Farage on the deathculters, saying they’re French, then saying she has nothing against Zelensky. What planet is she on? What if she’s lying and plans to deport as soon as she’s in? Same as Farage, she’d have been lying. Prayers for France and real French people, plus for our expats.

25. Katie Zacharia “transitioning out” of role

Oh dear, not good, press like hyenas, given tasty morsels of flesh. The vetting, frankly, was poor, esp. just before midterms. Also, the Eric Deters thing was not good. The talk of national emergency? Who knows?

24. It’s all in the colour of the hair

23. Unfortified flour

Steve has this:

The petition: End the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid immediately | https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/769589

IYE has this:

Flour of the unfortified type. 🍞🥖

Unfortified Flour, Unenriched Flour, Non-Additive Flour & Pure Flour

Andy has a comment about breadmaking but I wonder if it’s unfortified.

Then there’s this … it’s not just in the flour:

22. There’s something going on wit donor Eric Deters

Filed by Krassenstein (TDS and psycho) regarding Donny, Wiles, others. Naturally carried by the woke left press, no one reputable. Deters I suspect has the hots for Guilfoyle.

21. Roswell again

 

From IYE yesterday: Pocketful of Rye – Miss Marple:

JH: Choice today … this is what I had in reserve:

20. We may have had this one

Jenna Ellis has some question marks next to her, herself … we covered it some time back. However, she may be right about this:

19. Moo corner

18. Another called for Rupert and Farage to talk

… I replied:

17. IYE and the Bolsheviks

What is to be done?”

Vladimir Lenin published What Is to Be Done?1 — the operational blueprint for the Bolshevik Revolution — in 1902.

It’s typically read as political theory, but it’s actually more usefully read as a description of how to shift a population from passive discontent to active revolution — without the population understanding where it’s ultimately being taken.

And this knowledge is highly relevant in today’s charged environment.

By the turn of the twentieth century, strikes were common, and discontent was widespread in Russia2. Lenin argued that none of this was sufficient on its own, because workers could only develop ‘trade union consciousness’3. They could sense that things were bad and organise around grievances at the local level, but they did not ultimately grasp why things were bad, nor determine what to do about it.

Lenin didn’t claim the workers were stupid. Rather, he observed that ‘correct’ analysis doesn’t emerge naturally — it has to be introduced by people who have already arrived at the ‘correct’ framework: the vanguard.

The vanguard’s job is to interpret grievance through the ‘correct’ lens and guide the population toward the preferred conclusion. To Lenin, revolutionary consciousness ‘could only be brought to them from without’; the workers provide the energy; the vanguard provides the direction.

But if the vanguard should guide the masses toward ‘correct’ consciousness, it would logically also have to protect them from the ‘incorrect’ sort — because these would lead elsewhere but the ‘correct’ destination. To this end, Lenin identified a type of opposition leader whom he called ‘economists’, who channel people into non-revolutionary directions through ‘incorrect’ prescriptions.

The economists are worse than outright enemies, because they occupy the space where revolutionary consciousness should develop; they hoover up the discontented, and thus prevent actual transformation.….”

Interesting comments thread too.

JH: And just to add, yet again, my same old same old:

16. Walkies

Departed 1021, back here 1037. E.T. 16 mins for the (near) kilometre. Recovery 8 minutes … long time. Better than two days ago, less doddery, but still some way to go. Various obstacle courses along the way.

Along the way … friendly folk, plus two tugs side by side. You ever been close beside a tug? Fab boats. One guy waved, the other, grumpy, ignored. His loss.

14. Thickheadedly and bloodymindedly pressing ahead with wrongdoing

13. Important issue (not spoken ironically this time)

Steve, in 1517:3, wrote:

“Replacing Europe” – Latest Landmark Muckraker Documentary Follows Entire Illegal Immigrant Pipeline from Africa into Europe – With Governments Allowing This to Take Place! 

… and then cleverly hid the video. However, he did comment at HQ:

Took a lot of guts to make this and of all places it starts with Wolverhampton..

(JH: Best, methinks, we don’t post it opened, just as we have. Horrifying opening seconds … had to click out … shall try again later, scrolling past the opening.)

12. The quest for accuracy continues…

11. Breadmakers

What Steve did:

Automatic Mini Breadmaker SD-PN100 | https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/home-appliances/breadmakers/sd-pn100.html

Great minds think alike:

Start using it again? For sure, it made a nice loaf … as long as I can source unadulterated flour. That’s the entire question now … whence unadulterated flour? Whatever the cost … immaterial to me now.

 

We’ve had the Tiger, now for the lion. Absolutely no doubt, imho, that girls steal shows, just by existing … esp. when pushed into the background by the others:

A woman can overpower a man any time she puts her mind to it and has all the right pieces in the right order. Our Achilles heels. But not all women … most today => run, boy, run!

(All this came about, by the way, because of a pop chart quiz on X by Steve B. My recollection is it came out in 1960, then 64, then I think in 68 and I remember thinking at that point, now having been born, that it would keep doing that every four years … but it didn’t … it was swamped by boring, postulating prog and punk. Imho only of course. ☺️)

(0559) (0653) Light coming up, folks, but nowt worth commenting on. Morning all. (0657)

 

10. Moo corner

6. Steve had two X links up

… which were related to polls about Marine Le Pen. Many people hope she’ll win but don’t buy polls (se Fri 1, Fri 2b). And these below are from those sshots:
