VE Day.

a) Macron attempts to influence the Papal Conclave. [A report from ‘Infowars’ so …..?]

b) [One for Steve.] StormBreaker Advanced Glide Bomb lands In Yemen largely intact.

c) New polls in France showed National Rally (RN) President Jordan Bardella gaining traction, outperforming even his political mentor and de facto party leader Marine Le Pen.

d) German […] border police were now instructed to turn back most undocumented asylum seekers, with the exception of vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children.

VE Day 2025

On the 80th anniversary of 1945.


Agincourt, Crecy, Waterloo, Armistice Day, Battle of Britain, Dunkirk, VE Day, VJ Day … these are all days worthy of commemoration and I for one believe they should be commemorated on the day, not for the convenience of Them above.

The issue with the argument is that people work (or at least did before Tory’s started and Labour finished the tradition off), with the indigenous population having jobs, plus man the main breadwinner, women mixing part time with child rearing … and so it goes. In wartime, women stepped up and their lives became doubly onerous.

The degree of self-sacrifice of these men and women is something which should be commemorated forever.  This captures the relief of those on that day of relief, VE Day:

And here:

It would be narrowsighted to only think of Britain in this, as the Americans, Canadians, Commonwealth countries, European countries involved, plus the USSR were all involved … the Russkies commemorating theirs on May 9th Day of Victory.

Some of our reflections were posted across the way at Unherdables, not forgetting DAD:

Dearieme: I don’t remember any fuss about VE day when I was a boy. It was Armistice Day that we did fuss about.

……

JH: Ditto. It was Armistice Day for us.

……

Steve: I concur, there was little to no observance up until the 50th. I certainly can’t remember anything about VE Day even when I was serving. We did a D-Day parade on the 40th at the Commando Memorial, Achnacarry. I was listening to a historian on GB News and she said these commemorations (D-Day VE/VJ Day) only took off in the 1980s. This VE Day will probably be the last major one where veterans are present. Those with us today are over 96 with the eldest 104.

And over at OoL … Grandpa:

I can only finish by saying that, especially in the light of the current attempt by Them above, plus other groups around the world, including those who have invaded, to kill off Allied countries’ identities, heritage and culture … over the dead and wounded bodies of those who fought and served earlier, plus ourselves in the coming events … no way will the evil, anti-western and anti-second world forces prevail.

Remember VE Day today.

Wednesday [18 till close of play]

  4. Gumbo … what’s the Creole holy trinity?
  5. Happy Eddie is a species of what?
  6. Ia Io is a bat from which continent?

Wednesday radio

 

First hurdle is … do you like the Paul Temple tales? Do you like the original tag team? Could you bear the reworking in the early 2000s?


I find it astounding, lost episodes of this and other serials … it’s bordering on a crime, imho, to lose them. Anyway:

Wednesday [13 to 17]

(1056) Things a bit frenetic just now, various threads at the same time in RL. Cunning plan here is radio play later (at 1330), hopefully throw a quiz in after that, mid-afternoon. Hope all well with you. (1238)

 

17. Back to our situation here … sorry, Brit readers


16. Yes please


15. As night follows day

You could argue that giving ordnance to the AFU is akin to throwing it away. Now they are throwing their aircraft into the sea. |

Wednesday [1 to 6]

(0611) Morning! Opening with an Op Ed below, too long for this opener. (0720)

Jesus lookalike guitarist wows the street crowd. Because the YT successfully expanded there, this item here is over there. Unherdables is two venues … NOWP and HQ, with other fallbacks.

5. With respect, the Bee misses how this thing works


Not going to work, girls and boys. Look at our financial situations … even those “with” are committed to disbursing them to debts, family etc. Also, a reader might subscribe to one or two cutting edge, newsy sites, knowing the bias … and that’s it. Cost of food, energy takes the rest, p,us hedging sgainst Starmer/WEF. The Bee is nowhere in that mix.

Us here? As long as our news is fresh, yes … relevant but it relies on incoming. Keep money out of it afap.

a) In what appears to be an astonishing volte-face, a WHO systematic review has found reliable evidence that radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) increase the risk of cancer in animal experiments.

b) Silenced for your safety: wokeism study shakes French Academia. A scientific investigation concludes that woke thinking is appallingly poor.

c) My President want to kill me. “Let the Freemasons take up this fundamental debate, the end of life, I say here, is a good thing,” says Emmanuel Macron.

d) Marion Maréchal reclaims conservative roots in Joan of Arc’s hometown. While the leader of the new Identité Libertés party continues to affirm her loyalty to her Aunt, Marine Le Pen, she is carefully carving out a distinct political identity of her own. *

……

*Taking her time about it.

1. Systems and rounds (op ed)

Routines are good at this age, following the notes around the abode, taking each step one by one, not rushing. This bad craziness outside, from the low, billowing Gates cloud poisoning the air if I open the window … to the politics just now, to heavyhanded gummint on each of us in some way … it could drive us to despair unless something gets in the way to block despair.

A Christian would give an instant answer as to what does, a secular might point to some peoples being more naturally stoical, other ethnicities not … some peoples being locked into murder rape mode … they’re the ones taking over, needing stopping.

Watching Martin in the States just now, Alberta, Starmer’s latest idiocy. Online, at this time of day, North America dominates, Aus starts coming through, our early birds such as Julia and Moosh are around … Brits come into it more an hour or two from now.
