3. They say Katie will defect … but to whom?

To flipflop Farage and nasty Yusuf, to dud Tory Reform? Or to “more extreme” Restore, still a fledgling party of 110K? Or does she see herself as the Boadicea of the New Tories?

a) Sale of municipal land in Saint-Nazaire for the construction of a mosque by Socialist Mayor David Samzun. The 2019 sale of over 6,000 m² of municipal land to the Muslim Cultural Association of Saint-Nazaire (ACM) continues to fuel local debate.

b) Live in Marseille for a long life [If you don’t get shot.] Marseille municipal elections 2026: warning about the risk of electoral fraud with hundreds of centenarians registered on the lists, including one aged 120.

c) Jacques Lang and Epsn. I did nothing, I saw nothing, I know nothing….  Where have I heard that excuse before? In a letter to his “friends,” comparing himself to Dominique Baudis, Jacques Lang reaffirms that he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes….

d) Inside the secret world of the Reaper drones at the Cognac airbase. Best known for its fighter pilot training school, the Cognac air base also houses twelve Reaper drones and two twin-engine Vador drones. 

Like a derelict bridge carried away

 

Waking up this morning from an extended slumber (literally, not figuratively, it’s 0644 GMT), it seems to me time to bore you with a “long”. There’s already one up at OoL:

https://orphansofliberty.blogspot.com/2026/03/handful-of-senators-dont-pass.html

The title of Thur 1 is obviously from Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge over Troubled Water, so let’s run with that analogy. As a little kid, it was not in the least obvious back then that that smash hit was anything but the most beautiful pastiche which, to a child, was in the ballad category and which offered hope to all tired and lonely, all the down-and-outs.

Except it did nothing of the sort.

In decades-later terms, it was the exact opposite of 12atonalism from the Frankfurt School, designed to keep us on edge and disgruntled, angry … as we are in the west today.

That was around too … screaming metal, “hard rock”, perversions in the guise of lightheartedness … but this song, like Candle in the Wind, like so many memorably beautiful songs of the time, inc. American Pie, posited anything BUT God as the giver of reprieve, comfort, courage … and so the 60s went, which I’ve been looking carefully at of late.

It posited nature, good music, bonhomie, the glass and bottle, as all we need in our lobg journey “to fulfil ourselves”, to hell with anyone else. Naturally, you’ll take issue with that insult … you of course were the most wonderfully altruistic guy or gal … you and the other guys and gals were there, as Cyndi Lauper sang, to have fun … just to have your own pleasure whilst projecting a compassionate, almost Christian concern for others, as far as it assuaged your conscience.

But as Chris Rea sang … that was actually the road to hell … a living hell we have in March, 2026. The Lie was that it presupposed safety and security … banks of wildflowers, the neighbourhood bobby, the postman (mailman), the grocer, the baker, the signalman … you see, the generation before had built those, had suffered, even through rationing, and now here we were, the product of our parents’ “never again those horrors” mentality, Dr. Spock and so on.

Sure the Beatles introduced us to other “pleasures” such as Lucy in the Sky, while the Stones exhorted us to have Sympathy for Altamint Speedway. We were exhorted to wear a flower in our hair as we spread STDs and prostituted every naive, pretty, but rebellious girl of our age.

Girls became feminazi warriors, imagining themselves Boadiceas or Statues of Ishtar in NY harbour. Until Kent State of course, or Tiananmen Square. Chivalry died too of course … the whole groundwork which had been the West was now built on shifting sands, no longer the rock.

Yesterday, I mentioned not officially following a lady unless she’d first followed … misplaced chivalry? She said I was a weak man … chivalry is weak? Lady Tia noted that this Lucy did not follow her back either. This a.m., I ran this song about those mistreating others:

There we go.

Getting back to S&G’s B’overTW, on the surface, it’s just two NY Jewish youths reading the zeitgeist correctly and offering a “bridge” for people, esp. the young and already “12atonalled” to feel a bit better. An entirely different message to that of Amazing Grace.

In fact the message is … whatever comfort and succour you offer angst-ridden youth, make sure it has zero to do with John 3:16 … anything else will do … the old “philosophers”, or Nietsche, or Zimmerman … do anything at all to offer false succour, guidance, protection, courage … anything at all but NOT John 3:16.

And it becomes so easy, doesn’t it? Crusaders slaughtering Constantinople, Knights Templar, churchmen and nuns belting kids, Ian Paisley, the Vatican golden calf and sleaze, which motivated Chaucer, Erasmus, Calvin … pointy hats, gobbledegook, much chanting, incense-swinging, whilst the greedy, sleazy Jimmy Swaggarts rip off the newly faithful … read Somerset Maugham’s Rain too if you have time … the message is to highlight, to spotlight all the very worst aspects of John 3:16 or Matthew Chapter 5 when bad humans get control of them … whilst hiding away the pastoral care side of things.

Mother Theresa?

I was making fun of the Salvos as a kid and my grandmother (I once had a couple of those) admonished me, saying I had not seen them at work during the depression and two wars … she had. They were often the only ones out there in all conditions, helping. Now look at them … as Woke as the RNLI … corrupt, sleazy.

The false message of S&G

They invent some “bridge” which brings solace. What bridge? Where? Or as Don McLean sang: “Maybe they’d be happy for awhile.” False gods, chaps and chapesses … false gods.

At unherdables here, we go one step further. Read in the comments thread about temples one, two, three. About Erika Kirk:


In order to understand, you really do need to know your history … what happened to the northern kingdom of Israel, to Judaea, to the falling away, to Baal or Bel. The Christians (the real ones, not the clowns and sleazy synods now) say the Messiah has already been … any third temple won’t be for God, it will be for the other fella … and halfway through the tribulation, the Great Leader steps into the holy of holues and does dirt on Israel, on the world. Then the slaughter really begins.

Now, if you are of the Messianic Jewry and you know how Christians think of the end days, what would you do from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv? Well you’d intriduce legislation, would you not, to outlaw Christianity, to kill Christians, as they did Jesus of Nazareth? You’d kill any up and coming increasingly influential Charlie Kirk, no, just as he’s influencing kids?

And the Moose Limbs we spend so much time on, because Two Tier has been told to, plus Chas 3, plus Whitehall … they’re a real, an extant threat in numbers, yes, along with the resentful blacks … they draw the attention well away from what else is going down to destroy the west.

Nuff for now, time for brek.

Uniparty has been running the Forces down since 1975 – no argument here, we had barely enough ships for the Task Force in 1982 (Operation Corporate) to retake the Falkland Islands. The many ships taken up from trade (STUFT) is testament to that fact with both the QE2 and SS Canberra used as troopships – very good they were too. The Royal Navy is less than 20 surface warships today, most of them under maintenance. A look back at happier times 🙂

Silver Jubilee Review (1977)

Wed Mat

 

“This wonderful 1952 film – it must have been approaching Humphrey’s last performance – wins on all levels.

It triumphs as an historical curiosity into how newspapers were published 50 years ago, down to the presses and the layouts and assignments, and also for its truly remarkable supporting cast, many of them, some famous, like Ethel Barrymore, Jim Backus and Ed Begley and some part of the Hollywood backdrops in score of movies.

Kim Hunter excels also as the Bogart ex. Martin Gabel eerily predicts the Tony Soprano performance of today as an underworld Kingpin shown with his perfect domestic arrangement.

The scene of the “wake” for the death of the newspaper is wonderful, and also some wonderful camera pans on continuous action in many scenes.

The script is well done and keeps the action moving along, some funny throwaway lines too, particularly in the car scene with the mobster and in his ex-wife’s bedroom.

Also it is subtle and understated and not rampant with the 2X4’s of some of today’s instant-soup scripts. Do not miss this one, Bogie and Kim fans!!”

Wednesday [6 to 10]

(0846) Morning all … sunny but had an unfortunate experience. Slightly burnt the toast, extractor fan on, window open. Within minutes … coughing like crazy, lump in throat … never just toast … it was the air out there, no question. Windows closed, liquid, bed … fine in fifteen minutes. (1001)

In NW England, my politics are trad Triune Christendom, for the ordinary people of each home nation, plus nice people around the outside world, mainly the west … for restoring sanity into politics, utterly agin all Wokery, for good men plus good women working together with affection. Though my own flag might be the cross of St George, anthem Jerusalem, I greatly respect and honour your national flag and history too. No DMs please, except from known, established online friends.

Isilme and signs of spring

 

Signs of spring are beginning to appear, despite the daily grey cloud cover. Although, as I write this, a little sunlight has broken through. The bulbs are springing to life. Lots of grape hyacinths, a few mini daffodils, the odd primula.

Mini-daffs

We also have two small clumps of heather and they are blooming brightly – the colour is so intense they almost look artificial.

Heather

Then there’s the purple sprouting broccoli. Yum! We had forgotten some had turned up in the front garden. We seem to have three plants and I’m sure we only planted one, maybe two. Anyway, they have furnished us with plenty to eat.

Purple sprouting broccoli

We had some with our salmon the other day. And then some with our chicken pasta dish. And still more is on the way. And then we’ll return to consuming more of the leaves.

Wild garlic

The wild garlic underneath the apple tree is also now coming forth. We’ll have to find a way to curb its growth a bit perhaps, but it’s the only thing that will grow under that tree.

And since it took up residence some years back we’ve enjoyed the leaves in soup (wild garlic soup is yummy), in sandwiches, and in salads. I hear you can make pesto from it too, but I haven’t tried that yet.

Cuban mojo pasts … before adding pasta

Wild garlic grows in the woods near the river also, so having it in the garden gives a handy indication of when we can expect to go and do a bit of foraging should we need to. We haven’t bothered for the last couple of years as the garden garlic has been enough.

Well, that’s the latest garden report. Not a lot else is happening garden-wise.

Some uncomfortable reading coming down the track:

Will try and remember to provide links as each article appears.

a) Villepinte Prison (93): Fake police officers, fake arrest warrants, the shocking escape of Ilyas Kherbouch, known as “Ganito”; The prison administration took 2 days to realize it…

b) A violent fire completely destroyed the Carrefour Market supermarket located in the town center of Hourtin (Gironde, population 4,000) on Sunday evening.

c) Marseille (13): The DZ Mafia deploys thermal drones and GNSS [Géolocalisation et Navigation par un Système de Satellites] jamming to protect its drug convoys in the northern districts.

1. When govt interferes in any way

… whether federal, Westminster or local … it goes wrong, turns into a mess:

“Scientists have pumped 65,000 litres of chemicals into the ocean off America in a controversial geoengineering experiment designed to “stop global warming”. The Mail has more. 

Last August, 65,000 litres of bright red chemicals were pumped into the Gulf of Maine – yet this wasn’t an enormous industrial disaster.

Instead, it was a controversial geoengineering experiment that scientists claim could help to slow down global warming.

The oceans already hold around 38,000 billion tonnes of CO2, trapped as dissolved sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda.

The geoengineering method known as Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) aims to speed up this natural process by resetting the ocean’s pH.”
