Friday [10]

 

The English election results

The LibDem took Runcorn, I’ve mentioned Andrea Jenkyns in Lincolnshire, a straight dissident Tory, also there’s a councillor just elected … by-election win in Bridgend, Wales, Councillor Clatworthy. It will continue.

All good, even the Lib Dem, and the ground game was good. With all the will in the world, Rupert’s not politically organised and there are those who just don’t like Ben Habib, so the momentum is with Farage/Tice/Yusuf.

There are similarities to Canada … how could people fail to see? And the answer is that they are under the control of the box and radio … how many are actually online at X, Rumble, other platforms, what percentage? The thinkers and the curious do see the trap, all too clearly, but like Sarah Connor at the wire fence in Terminator 2, no one hears … it’s designed that way.

The Reform wins are certainly important in the context of prising Starmer out, which was contrived from the get-go … it allows Farage a Prime Minister In Waiting platform, ra ra ra … they can now have thunderous debate in the House and the rhetoric will flow.

Except concerning the imported army waiting, except for the state of cities and towns, except for those raped girls and unmentioned boys and goats. As more than one Reform supporter tweeted … who cares about the army of fighting men waiting to be deployed, who cares about a few girls who had it coming?

It’s all about Nigel looking good on the box, innit, making all the right noises. And that’s the long and short of it. No one will accept that underage kids cannot make such decisions, that the menacing army in cushy digs is not there for the betterment of the people. The people do not wish to face up to it. Nor to the parents and teachers pushing these evil sex and drug lifestyles onto children.

This thing is all about “as long as I’m all right, Jack”.

Until it isn’t all right.

Friday [4 to 9]

(0605) Reform win Runcorn by 6 votes. Andrea Jenkyns in too. (0701)

 

9. Not sure what this was all about

… but seems admirable:


8. Loomer again


What’s with LL? She appears here, there, everywhere, turns up at the WH, tracks down so many wrong choices. This suggests there are quite a few staffers behind her … whose? WH or AIPAC? Mossad?

Next question … does it matter? It does if Israel approved candidates are not as well vetted. On the other hand … no Laura, no findee outee at all.

7. It’s all for us, the plebs


6. West Yorks yet again


5. Ken Burn’s documentary series The Vietnam War

Discussed in sidebar by Steve and Redacted.

Friday [1 to 3]

(0511) Morning all at dawn … bleah appearing out there. (0542) They’ve started chemtrailing outside my window right now. (0550)

 

3. DAD at 1036

a) Loon Plage (Loon Beach) is the town next to the encampment for future Doctors, Engineers, etc who are waiting to invade Kent. The Coluche Hall, packed to the brim, did not have enough seats to accommodate everyone this Tuesday.

b) [French] MPs are engaging in an Orwellian inversion of vocabulary, as Claire Fourcade, a palliative care doctor, testifies regarding an amendment adopted in committee [for the Law of Assisted Suicide].

……

JH: Those two from DAD are quite long … best view them at 1036.

2. The vetting problem in the White House


1. Runcorn and Helsby

I posted on X:

“4:06 a.m. Liverpool Echo … handful of votes in Runcorn etc. Recount. Two negatives: Farage treatment of Lowe, plus she is a LibDem, not true Reform. Address such things or always be gallant second place.”

Thursday [15 till close of play]

(1525) Not quite evening all as yet. (1808) Tis now.

 

23. Uh huh

22. Appropriate day for it

… put in a prayer for all victims down for atrocities this night …


21. Steve at 1036

Ken Burn’s documentary series The Vietnam War (2017) is an education. It’s 10 episodes and about 18 hours in total. I’ve watched it three times. For those who remember it yesterday was the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of the war. The War Room: Remembering Vietnam 50 Years Later.

20. DAD all fired up at 1036

Ho, Ho, Ho. Mps are banned from charging their EVs in the HoP basement carpark.

JH: Warning, readers, this is a grizzled ole vlogger presenting, no actual footage.

19. This is hotting up


18. Some Farage people are being quite silly

… out of order in fact:


17. All right, I confess … could not resist

16. Just wondering, Lewis

… is that pronounced Ministry of Housindge?


15. Of course this could only be for across the pond

Thur Mat

 

“That this film has been reviewed as a comedy demonstrates, once again, that the British and American are two cultures [divided] by a common language. The humour here, of that characteristically British sardonic kind, is incidental to a drama of frustration, disappointment and inadequacy. The humour is just the way the British speak.”

Spoilers on what spoils the film:

“Oliver Reed’s cameo felt very out of place and was neither funny or tasteful. Also really did not buy how the crime was solved in so little time, not realistic, and Hyde at this point goes from meticulously intelligent to ridiculously sloppy just like that.”

Thursday [12 to 14]

(1054) Naturally you’ll never vote Labour, so the only issue is which other to vote for. Weeeelllll, we could discuss that forever. Was downstairs earlier, to my mind temp perfect, wind perfect. I checked upstairs … 19C, 3 mph. Has to be ideal. […] Afternoon all bythe way. (1214)

 

14. Seriously struggling here today

… to find anything political worth looking at. Bored wi’it all. This was fun:


13. TDS is up to its games again

The first item is paywall, subscribe wall, whatever … couldna be bothered. The second has an article attached but it’s open anyway … yes, these are the games the Met Bureau and RAF play.


12. You wot?

How dumb are Australians? I thought it was only Canadians, Brits and Americans … though the latter are redeeming themselves. This is from southern Victoria:


Again … you wot? Are you insane, woman? Sigh:


My stomping ground or sailing ground was lower right on the map. Portsea is for the toffs, govt ministers, slebs, lowlife film and music “stars”, Sorrento was the playground for city folk wanting a break, if you continue (lower right) down the coast line, there’s Blairgowrie, then Rye, with its long pier. Rye was where we were, inc. my boat of the time.

Once sailed to Mud Island, bit of a bore, very shallow. The Rye to Dromana area was relatively safe, could get rough, no chance of being dragged out of the heads. If you take a line from Point Nepean over to Point Lonsdale, that’s one of the world’s most treacherous waters … called The Rip.

Simple arithmetic says that when the tide turns at 10 knots and your craft does 7 knots or you swim at 3 knots, guess where you’re going to be swept out to, mateys? You see lower left on the map is open ocean, to be precise Bass Strait, a most treacherous crossing to Tas, even for a car ferry.

But you’d not make it that far. There’s a rock ledge under the water and whatever goes over it plunges to a depth of I forget … half a mile down? Maelstrom stuff, without the warning. So to actually swim out there from Lonsdale … insanity. Plus it’s a heavy duty shipping lane, both ways.

Thursday [9 to 11]

(0854) Good mood just now … yes, we’ll still caustically cover that sickening politics out there but right now … sun, greenery, floral mayhem, birds tweeting and flying every which way outside the window … plus the idyllic set-up inside here, plus our patrons sending pics, plus good coffee … well it doesn’t get much better imho. (0911)

 

11. Alberta

Danielle … do be careful now about your safety.


10. Nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach yer

… about sadomasochism, e.g. in Canada … Stockholm Syndrome perhaps …


9. Sorry to ruin the mood
