a) Decisions have consequences. UK: MP who voted for assisted suicide denied communion. *

b) Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Horizons de Nice, (and others) taken into police custody in Marseille on Monday … (connected to Nice).

c) Kazakhstan bans face coverings in public places.

d) The “Barber By N” store, located in Villefranche-sur-Saône, has been subject to administrative closure since June 25.

e) Finland’s Supreme Court is preparing to hold an hearing in the high-profile free speech case of former Interior Minister and Christian Democrat MP….

f) The ECHR decision that confirmed police ‘discrimination’ for the first time in France brings the issue of ethnic statistics back to the forefront….

g) A solar panel park near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is posing a serious safety risk and disrupting air traffic, according to airport authorities.

3. *On DAD’s 4a

What communists or spawn of satan or WEF version at every time in history have always done is study deeply every civil and civic underpinning, institution in society with a view to crowbarring fissures into it, resentment, making it unworkable.

No one knows the bible better than this lot, no one knows the nation’s laws to the letter better than this lot I’ll call Them. In jocular form, WC Fields spoke of looking through the bible … for loopholes.

Whether the new bad Pope (immediately Catholics excommunicate me) and the Patriarch who met, dripping in gold plating and trappings (that’s the Orthodox now excommunicating me) or whether it’s Calvin treacherously inviting Savonarola in order to burn him to death (that’s any Calvinists excommunicating me in my depravity and original sin) and so it goes on and on …

… every single denomination or cult (that’s Jim Joneses or Mansonists) looking for me to kill, if other cults don’t get to me first … DAD’s 4a today was all about shaitan creating fissure, though Them do not state it to be such. Was the priest in order to refuse communion? If so, then what about Leviticus and other chapters on unnatural use of other humans? Should they not be refused to?

Same human failing as Lucy Connolly v Glastonbury … either hypocritical or cherry-pickingly inconsistent humans over-emphasising this verse and neglecting that. One anti-Christian cult at least raises that to an art form.

Should the human priest have refused communion? To my mind, it comes back to remorse=> atonement=> redemption. Was that MP remorseful or was he another whited sepulchre?

Hearts of Oak: The Week According To . . . Anni Cyrus

 

Embarrassment of riches again, though more suited to the winter and/or a dark night. Three films to run … which? One of them, Murder My Sweet, 1944, had Dick Powell as Phillip Marlowe … I had a look through … it was ok but the plot had been altered in key ways.

Had a look at the 1975 version, with Robert Mitchum and in a reversal of the usual pattern, this one seemed better. You can argue but I felt The Manchurian Candidate of 2004 was better than the 1962 with Sinatra. Rarely is the remake like that imho.

(1353) Unherdable cats … too fragmented for mine. (1353)

(1222) This is from Toodles, concerning AOC (1230)

Can’t expect Toods to know the iffy players, e.g. Glenn Beck, Hannity, Alex Jones, David Martin and over here … Dan Wooton, Alex Phillips and so on … this one narrating is Benny Johnson, prone to Michael Heaver style sensationalist journalism imho.

Is he wrong? On this … I’d say no, he’s correct, having seen this from various sources. Well what’s my issue then? Issue is the overly persuasive manner, the professional journo thing, rather than “just the facts, ma’am”. Never mind.

9. The sacred feminin?

8. IYE under “Sun till close of play”

… had an item on sophiology. For a Christian, it’s anathema, it’s the other side’s, the illumined’s “sacred feminin”, in the tradition of Lilit, different other beast to, say, Mary Magdalene.

7. Redacted

There are, in the sidebar, and esp. under last night’s last post, so many topics, so many memes as well I’ll keep dipping into. This was one:

6. More housekeeping

Systems issue … unlike our “beloved guests” pouring into the country, Redacted’s flooding of the comments thread poses a conundrum, in that they’re quality rantings, with useful links … I see this deep digging usefulness more in line with IYE’s style.

Issue is that, with “comments” not being set up in forum format, but as a nested-comments thread under each post … there’s no issue with that whatever in itself … just comment away.

The issue is in the sidebar widget, which displayed 12 comments till a few minutes ago, when I increased it to 15. I looked at changing site themes, e.g. to that of UHC-WP, which puts the comment count near the top of the post but some advantages of this current theme stayed my hand.

Hmmmmm. The dilemma is how to still get the Redacted input whilst not flooding the sidebar widget, driving everyone else’s comments into the ether?

There’s a way around it … by scrolling to the foot of the post and if you see a comments count there … click … plus that works for a fortnight, thank goodness, which means as long as anyone’s likely to be interested. Also, it’s a nicer, more contextual way to read and to add comments … it’s probably the least bad option just now.

The flooded sidebar is still useful … it just tells me to go to the other method of scrolling down the front page => older posts => scroll down again => rinse and repeat. None of it’s a core problem, plus we pick up great pointers along the way.

 

(0623) Morning all … a late (for me) start but that helps with the day’s doings, as it repairs and restores. There’ll be a “Housekeeping” post in Mon 2, between DAD and Steve. (0757)

 

5. Advance UK

My team and I have been working furiously for the last few months to establish the foundations of a political party which is capable of saving our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 🇬🇧.

I am delighted to launch that party today: Advance UK.

The party will… pic.twitter.com/CDMLyCeAhz

4. Big beautiful bill*

It’s obviously of concern to many. I draw that conclusion through this number bothering to note my own comment (uncommon occurrence in more than two people on X) …

… which translates into huge numbers retweeting big accounts … Thune is obviously not the most popular man in the US just now.

By using comments as jumping off points for further exploration, in a brainstorming rather than confrontational, adversarial, oratorical way, there’s always going to be a downside … by the very nature of our commenters being forthright, there are potential clashes as tavern patrons are dropping in from all different places and angles.

Our whole approach here is “just the facts, ma’am” … civilly.

It’s one reason I can’t go “over-denominational” in Christianity … but at the same time … can’t be “milquetoast” about the core principles … it’s just the trappings, pageantry, chanting and praying to any but the Triune God which I don’t run with … this is an internal matter within the faith.

Outside that, from the Great Science Godists, e.g. the Royal Society, Smithsonian, IPCC, to the straight out atheists … well, that’s your bed you choose to lie in.

MMutR points out a constant observation … the moment you go beyond core statements, e.g. freedom of thought, word and deed … the problems begin, as even if we’re agreed in general, in principle, the very next policy someone thinks that includes is very much NOT included by so many others.

Therefore any progress is stifled or stymied … unherdable cats simply cannot combine for long enough. So it’s far more a case of Alliances within this “parliament” rather than Party positions which need to prevail. It was always tricky in WW2 with the various national armies combining for the combined goal.

……

In practical terms, on this blog, as long as there are provided sufficient outlets … HQ, NOWP, UHC, Jstack … then you can put your ideas fairly freely and civilly but with two caviats:

a. No Wokery whatever;
b. We’re going to be using the scrolling and click in and out a heck of a lot.

Redacted and Steve tend to expand and cover ground … that’s their way, I’m loathe to influence it. Equally, I’ll repost some, signpost others, comment on some, not on others, according to the material, nothing to do with any ranking order … keep it as freeflowing as poss, though always watching out for trollery, e.g. pushing MMCChange as a “thang” … go somewhere else for that guff.

There’s a principle here too … what you don’t like to see here, someone else does like … you have a clicking finger and scroll wheel, no? And finally … if I see the M or I word “in plain”, I’m going to redact, euphemise, codify … for security reasons. Regular tavern visitors know that full well.

All very quiet here in France, perhaps it was the hot week-end, so I have dug out some news from earlier in the month.

a) A culture-enriching “French” youngster has been arrested for plotting an attack on synagogues, sex shops, and other dens of infidel infamy….

b) French mayors have been stepping down at an unprecedented rate, with almost 2,200 resignations since 2020….

c) Ms. Bergeaud-Blackler interviews Dr. Herrera at length about jihad, Europe, and the submission of the West to….

d) The constitutional court of Berlin has approved a planned citizens’ petition to limit drastically the use of private cars in the German capital….
