Friday [1 to 5]

(0530) Still very dark out there, I’m relatively ok for those wondering. (0620)

3. The world according to Andy

We are not alone Jim, it doesn’t have to be loaf but not as we know it. | https://www.soilassociation.org/news-events-and-resources/latest-news-and-insight/flours-are-being-fortified-with-folic-acid-what-does-it-mean-for-organic/ | It would appear that certain branches of the sandal shod are with us.

a) France. A French supermarket ad showing a traditional 1970s Sunday family gathering sparked fierce debate over diversity and gender roles, with progressive critics denouncing it as politically conservative messaging.
The advertisement, launched on October 4th to promote Intermarché’s “Terroirs” range of French products, features flowered wallpaper, a multi-generational family meal, men in shirts and ties, women in dresses and skirts, and a yellow-headlight Peugeot 304……

b) France. If only Polls came true. If Marine Le Pen is elected, 46% of Muslims and 43% of Mélenchon voters would consider leaving France (IFOP).

c) France. According to Causeur, the French regulatory authority Arcom has announced plans to develop new rules specifically targeting podcasters and digital content creators before the next presidential campaign. The move comes as establishment politicians grow increasingly alarmed that French citizens are turning away from mainstream media to seek information from independent sources and social networks.

d) EU. ‘In recent weeks…several key European Union member states have announced, one after another, the suspension of the Schengen provisions and the temporary reintroduction of border controls…The official justification is virtually the same everywhere: curbing illegal migration, addressing the threat of terrorism, and the inadequate protection of external borders.’

e) UK. How I love it when somebody plays THEM with their own rules.

1. Going to jump out of the blocks with this


I do firmly believe that, I’ve seen it too many times. The Satterthwaite quote still stands. We are part of God’s play or plan, end of.  Not ours to speculate … so I don’t. Takes a huge weight off the mind.

I’m also going to post today … don’t dabble in things too powerful, even too evil. I warned someone recently … do not dabble in the unfruitful works of darkness. Leave it be. Skynet, Tower of Babel, Higgs boson, The Mummy, don’t even name it, Machine Learning pretending to be AI. Don’t dabble.

Demons, devils on your back, stop wallowing. Now! Don’t let it in. Don’t entertain it.

And my third waking thought is … why can’t we change for good instantly? Because of this … spelling errors in there but never mind:

And the fourth part of the trilogy which I could not recall was just posted by DAD in 2b) … believe not in any commissioned poll … polls are the organised end of false propaganda. Not even polls slanted towards our side … have no truck with polls, folks.

Thursday [12 till close of play]

(1530) Good mid afternoon, all.

 

21. Fish forecast


Rather than admit it and have a good laugh with everyone else, Fish tried to worm his way out of it with all sorts of tales. What he actually said in his forecast was:

“Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she’d heard there was a hurricane on the way. Well, if you are watching, don’t worry, there isn’t…”


20. Have to laugh

… they’re even calling him out from downunder.

17. A bitta fun, that’s all


16. Dust bowl three


15. IYE on Press Sec

This didn’t take them long… Investigating Ms Zechariah’s claims that she’s a lawyer.

“…… CfA Executive Director Michelle Kuppersmith said, “Ms. Zacharia has represented herself as a lawyer repeatedly to buttress her reputation and credibility as a television legal commentator and now as the White House spokesperson, yet it seems it was all a lie. In California, calling yourself a lawyer without a license isn’t puffery; it’s a crime. The State Bar should investigate whether Ms. Zacharia has misled the public about her credentials and hold her accountable if she has.”……”

Watchdog Asks California State Bar to Investigate White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia for Claiming to Be a Lawyer Without a License

It has a certain inevitability that she would come under scrutiny.

13. Dust bowl, part two


12. DAD at 1516

In less than 20 seconds Dominic Cummings creates stunned silence at Lords Committee this morning. 

“One of the few remaining centres of excellence in the U.K.? 

It’s the British Special Forces & who is their biggest enemy?
Russia? No. China? No. Iran? No…..

Thursday [7 to 11]

(1201) There’s been a fight which resulted in me filing a formal complaint, plus a delivery of sorts, plus other matters e.g. health. Only back inside now. (1227)

 

11. We had this story yesterday

… some of us had our say on her. Here’s a bit more.


10. Moo corner


9. Dust bowl part one

Part of the Route 66 saga, it’s a not particularly fine chapter in Americana in the 30s … many of us know tales of, how tough it was dirt farming and the rest of it, but only in seeing some fine detail can we conceptualise how close to oblivion is actually was for ordinary small holding folk. There are two more tales after this.


8. Uruguay does right


7. Chocolate and fake chocolate

Thursday [2 to 6]

(0748) Well it turned out before 0800 anyway. 60%. Overcast, threatening rain out there but otherwise ok. (0827)

 

5. Faux conservatives?

Interesting question … can one be conservative, therefore free enterprise in this country, therefore capitalist, and yet opt for outsourcing overseas?

Morning James, been up since sparrow’s fart this morning. Get like this sometimes, brain running like a diesel engine with a faulty governor. Usually I run one of roughly seven hypotheticals in my mind – to get some mental equilibrium going. A good one is building an aircraft carrier in my head. Usually drop off before I get anywhere near the flight deck 🤣

Wish I’d bought a coffee mill with stainless steel grinding wheels. Mine are ceramic and after a year the edge has gone. Piss poor grind annoyed me no end this morning. Grumpy, lack of sleep. The lad who’s fitting a new burner to my gas fire is coming over this morning. He trained as a heating engineer after serving in the Royal Artillery for four years. He was impressed when I told I’d been a forward observer in 29 Commando RA. He was 26 Regiment RA.

They got a new upgrade last month so I’ll probably discuss it with him when he’s here. Relevant to the conflict in [The] Ukraine. Oh, and he’s a coffee man so I’ll be using coffee bags 🙂

a) France. According to an internal assessment by the National Directorate of Border Police covering the first nine months of 2026, which Valeurs Actuelles has obtained, 67 Algerian minors have been intercepted in the department since the start of the year, compared to 44 during the same period in 2025. This represents a 39 percent increase, with border police noting that the arrivals are exclusively male.

The southwestern French department [i.e. via Spain] has emerged as a primary entry point for unaccompanied Algerian minors, with pressure intensifying over the summer months.

b) Germany. It has been revealed that police in the northern German city of Bremen have for more than a decade advised participants in workplace safety seminars that deliberately inducing vomiting can be one way to interrupt an attempted sexual assault or rape.

Franka Haedke, a spokeswoman for the Bremen police, said the guidance is part of broader self-defence instruction offered by the department’s Central Police Prevention unit.

c) Germany. Germans Want Less Support for Ukraine, Poll Shows. A majority of Germans oppose continued Ukraine aid with 53 percent favouring reduced support, while the AfD leads federal polling at 30 percent, according to an INSA survey.

d) UK. Restore Britain was tipped off about internal Home Office documents showing special advisers approving or rejecting draft FOI requests, asking whether it may draw scrutiny if the information was released. Who controls what the public gets to see?

e) France – humour.

Thursday [1]

(0302) Middle of the night, not going to be able to blog until just before 8, all being well. All being well means getting this second sleep in.

Last night, I was in a fairly bad way with health … circulation, arteries, stroke maybe … so there are two ways to get arteries right … aerobic and warm bed. Has worked so far tonight, part two hopefully coming up.

A fair bit to post, once redacted. Now must get out of socmed for the mo. Sleep well, reader.
