In the middle-east, esp. Iran, there are two major narratives clashing … the Israeli and the Moose Limb Arab. The people on the streets were Israel having got Donald to promise help … never came … slaughter. The Arabs made sure Donny did not help.
Steve sends the footage by Israeli pundits, inc. Visegrad, ME24, Emily, Nioh etc.

But an experienced pundit is not going see an account name like Tehran Erupts without seeing the lack of timeline, the emotive account name, the lack of clear shots of other cities. He’s going to say ok, they did come out en masse, but way too early, even before the promise. So who promised the people?
Me, myself, I, Jimbo? My stance? England. Brit. On the M.E. … very much anti invaders and slaughterers. On Israel? Mixed … half and half, still thinking.
This next, via Steve, is Jim Ferguson … much easier to pin down … freedom, Advance UK, you get the idea … Brit through and through, but warm thx for the US actually doing something.

Not sure the sound quality is as good as it was … a bit tinny and hollow … maybe it’s just my ears.
(0837) Reason it’s so slow getting to 10 is not breakfast, not chores but gathering material. Not a lot of point at 0500 to 0700 as not many are awake but the snippets start flooding in around our 0730 to 0800, inc. newsletters, plus DAD having a black square, then not at NOWP … it’s really frenetic just now but rewarding too. And all the ladies are upandattem as well. Plus I love the early hours anyway. So there’s just a mass, a mess, of incoming at this time … needs slowly sorting. Have a good one today. (0920)

6. Perfect example of having to report as and when
… Quora in passing in this case. Downunder pundit, Phillip Anderson. Vaguely recall the name, big downunder I seem to recall in political punditry. Anyway:
Who was Carly Simon writing about in ‘You’re So Vain’? Why?
“I think there might be some clue she gave in the first few words she sings in the song. She whispers “Son of a Gun”.
Well around 1968 she was going out with the British singer songwriter Cat Stevens, and his first two singles released in the US were “ Matthew and Son” and “ I’m Going To Get Me a Gun”.
She did say the song was about two or more men in her early life, and she did say that Warren Beaty was one of them. But I also think Cat Stevens may be the other one. I remember reading an interview once where Cat says he was very self- absorbed in his early days of fame but he came back down to Earth when he developed a bad case of Tuberculosis and almost died and became more introspective in his songwriting.”
Possible, possible. I always thought it was James Taylor. There was a not disconnected attitude with Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star who wanted (in the lyrics) to just have a minor part in his life, not have his heart, “he” being a big star in his own right.
What precisely did these girls hope for with the type?

(JH: Been thinking for some days that it’s a pretty tall order expecting DAD and Steve to keep coming up with all this … day in, day out. If anyone knows what it takes, it’s lil ole me but in my case … I have all sorts of cyber assistance to make it easier. Kudos to our chaps and chapesses, according to their output.)
a) Immigration in France: the 2025 figures were just published today at noon. New records have been broken; it’s essential to keep these figures in mind. Here’s THE summary….
b) Macron is thwarted. End of life: The French Senate rejects the bill on assisted dying, which is sent back to the National Assembly.
c) Prosecuted for praying: abortion battle lines in Northern Ireland. “If we are not free to express prayer against abortion outside of a clinic without being criminalized, then none of us are free.”
d) Poland has more gold than the European Central Bank and has no intention of slowing down.
e) A pig statue in a delicatessen window deemed offensive by the *slami(st) community. In Padua…

21. What we suspected
20. Steve
“Last night a guest presenter said something that triggered a memory in me. Born and bred in Portsmouth he was immensely proud of the Royal Navy and remembers as a small boy the return of the Task Force after our victory in the Falklands. Scroll forward to his ’20’s he sets off to London, to make his fortune. It was there, he recalls, that he first came across folk who hated our armed forces: Lefties. Back to me and my time at Oxford from 2000 to 2001. When my fellow students discovered I had served in Commando Forces (didn’t get it from me) one by one they began to shun me. Needless to say I couldn’t get out of there fast enough and left after one year. The place was/is infested with Lefties.”

“”High Tide” is a crime film that in many ways seems like film noir. While it doesn’t have the terrific camerawork you’d expect with noir, the snappy dialog, violence and dark tone of the film make it noir in my book.
The film begins with two men after a wreck tosses them and the car into the surf. Tim (Don Castle) has a leg pinned under it and Hugh (Lee Tracy) is too badly hurt to move. The tide is coming in and the two men appear about to drown…and then the film goes back in time to eventually show you how the two men got into these straits.
The story that follows is about a newspaper…which isn’t surprising considering Tracy played reporters in films more than any actor I can think of right now…but it clearly must have been a few dozen times. Some hoods are apparently chasing after Hugh and so he hires Tim to investigate and be his body guard.
Soon Hugh is shot, but survives…but the owner of the paper is killed. Instead of waiting for the cops to investigate the case, Tim does what is common in B-movies of the day…he investigates himself and soon becomes a suspect in the crime. What’s next? See the film.
I liked the story very much and the acting as well. However, be prepared to feel a bit confused about the surprise ending! Tim apparently figures out the entire conspiracy even though logically it was difficult for him to have done so. So, I say watch this still good film and just accept the twist on face value and don’t question it.”
