(1446) Afternoon all.
16. Splendid isolation
Warren Zevon (died 2003) was an acquired taste … did not set the world on fire and yet there’s a cult feel to his work … the big musos all seemed to like him, Letterman was a fan … I saw this song played on Letterman, using the house band. Good stuff.
You know why I like reaction videos of the old numbers? Why so many females? I like those without egos, with integrity inside, who can feel … there are dozens who are rubbish in my book, male or female. About a dozen all up seem to have something to them. I was thinking … just play the song itself, nostalgically?
Nah … I want that interaction, discovery, surprise from another human. She herself was talking about wanting space to herself, he was singing about still wanting to wake up with someone beside him. Between Warren and her was a nice living pattern. Leaving aside faith for a mo, there are still limits to what we can psychologically handle. I’m known as a hermit but readers know I’m connecting with someone or another all day, everyday. Bored? Lonely? Chance would be a fine thing. Gregarious … and yet an isolate.
That’s what this song is all about.
15. There’s a real edge to all this now

All the western antiWoke, antiGlobo, anticommunist, antiFabian forces are in a resurgence but the Achilles heel of “the right” has always been that their inability to combine … they’re unherdable cats. We’re unherdable cats. But all sorts of people are seeing the extant danger now in the west and are meeting, as above. The establishment did think they had it sussed … attack Farage as long as he stayed on tele and lose badly to him in a GE, thereby retaining control.
But this was new … 10 out of 10 for Restore in GY, just an idea people wanted to back, no slick pollies … and there have been early issues … Saskiagate was one. Restorers are strange people, blunt and noneffusive in many ways, dark sense of humour … and very young, a new breed … Gen X and Gen Zee dominate … most interesting model indeed.
Who’ll win Makerfield? Who knows? Could still be the pretty boy or Burnham … Rebecca is everything a politician isn’t. But Restore is nothing if not ornery, contrary and many really, really like her as she runs the campaign her way, the party trying to promote her. I for one really like her and so many others do too.
Will she win? Who knows? She’ll be more experienced as a branch organiser. Fallings out? Naturally … we’re unherdable. Getting personal … she’s not a classic beauty, not a classic shape … so … bleedin’ … what?
And you know, ditto with the girl in Sat 16 in a few moments. Thus I like her a lot.

13. Emergency in the air

Fascinating, even gripping tale tomorrow morning after the news … so many elements lift it out of the ordinary, e.g. real audio of the events, recorded.

For good reason this video of Frank Wright’s pavement talk with Vox Populi went viral last week..
We Need to Save the Nation | Restore Britain, Makerfield
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvNYFtbOl5g
Now he’s on The Peter McCormack Show:
Frank Wright joins me after going viral for saying that reality, not extremism, is radicalising people.
In this episode, we discuss Britain’s decline, the failure of liberal democracy, Restore, Reform, immigration, national identity, working-class dignity, debt, inflation and why Frank believes Britain is facing a final chance to Restore itself.
Frank argues that people are not being radicalised by fringe ideology, but by what they can see around them: institutions that no longer work, town centres in decline, a political class that cannot govern, an economy hollowed out by debt and dependency, and a media system that tells people not to trust their own eyes.
I push Frank on: what it means to Restore Britain, why nationhood matters, how you build a big enough tent, how we avoid conflict, and whether our political system is even capable of fixing itself.
Whatever you think of Frank, he has clearly touched a nerve.
