The meat can be whatever … salmon goes in a stew thingy, cod is as it is, crumbed, steak either sliced thin or diced for a soup. Whatever.
I’m far more prescriptive for veg … it is always, for me, a green such as cabbage, broccoli, cauli … together with onion, mushrooms, carrot, red pepper, green pepper, apple … all fine chopped, first precooked in water to wash, then water replaced with boiled from kettle, with turmeric, garam, garlic, ginger … till just under al dente.
The tatties … either roasties, requiring my mini-oven just for them, set on gorilla inside, with olive oil only, plus rosemary … turn halfway … comes out crisp … or else go straight to pan, lighly oiled, rosemary, tatties diced for an even roast/fry.
Very difficult explaining to some of our chaps when to openly use deathcult terminology and when to euphemise. I can’t expect our chaps to know every single thing going down, plus if they write it yesterday, who’s to say it has not changed today?
For example … Wills coming out and stating that Malsi is the religion of peace. Yeah?
Yes yes, I know … the sshot had the word in plain and yet I went to DAD’s item and changed it for Malsi … why? Because Wills had said what he had, the net had taken it up, it had gone viral, therefore the Home Office and Censorship Czar were now involved. It’s a day by day thing. /END.
7. Compromised SCOTUS and birthright citizenship tourism
6. Fact v theatre, denomination v denomination
Had a look at two churches last evening … one called Riverside in NYC, with its heavily LG etc., therefore unbiblical … plus Riverway, in Minnesota. Both blue states/districts, so I expected both biblically deviant …
… but actually, I was wrong on Riverway … they certainly ummed and ahhed on their site, going on about how friendly and inclusive they were … their beliefs though were in a clickable pulldown section and even there, they rabbited on. Finally they got to it … those LG etc. were probably not going to find their views aligned with Riverway’s.
In short … Riverway is trad, which I also felt may have been so in this hymn, despite it’s fairly modern arrangement:
They list themselves as non-denominational, which I quite like … over the Easter period, I saw, on X, the Orthodox really badmouthing the Protestant and Catholic, the Catholic badmouthing the others, both calling themselves the One True Church, while the Protestants were off either tradding quietly or LG etcetering loudly, neither much use in bringing the Word, which I sort of thought was the idea of the Easter/Resurrection period.
But even then it does not stop, the division. Look at The Great Schism of1054, at the St Bartholomew’s Day pogrom and so on … Calvin murdering Savanorola, the IRA and Ulstermen. Actually, look at us unherdable cats at Unherdables … differences on everything from the Iran War to the Moon “Landing” … and then extend that to Regorm and Restore, with those on both sides badmouthing each other.
To then simplistically say well just ban all “religion” … really? Is the Dark Nobility’s WEFism, Fabianism, the Illumined call to “abolish religion” … is that not a religion in itself? Scientism? “The Science is settled”? Atheism is just as fanatical as any cult. That’s before even getting onto paganism, wicca, the green shamballa … and so on and so on and so on.
Take this one for example:
In fact, I saw a good case for denominations a few days back. It said we are all unherdable cats, agreeing to varying degrees but differing on a few fundamentals. Why not? It’s more realistic. Politically, it means that party politics with a single platform are just as fascistic and commie as the baddies themselves. Yet unherdable cats can never combine, except under direct threat.
I myself here at UHC, admin or landlord, have all sorts of denominations represented by regulars … therfore what choice do I have but to be “wishy-washy” non-denominational?
There is another way though … steer a middling course and allow shades of views over enough sites, stating where I am on something, whilst categorically rejecting Wokery and Globopsycho narrative … no solution is satisfactory but this latter has at least halfworked until now. That’s before we even get into English v Celt v French v American v Canadian. Phew! /END for now.
(0620) Seems bleah out there, although it was a lively, fiery red and dark cloud dawn earlier … now billowing over into low, poisoned, Gates cloud cover now. Have a wunnerful Monday.

a) Artemis II’s crew sent a heartfelt Easter message to the world as they approached the moon Sunday — a remarkable echo of a Christmas address given by the mission’s closest cousin in space history, Apollo 8. (JH: Wonderful theatre. Do not wish to tread on sacred cows or shibboleths but the re-run of 1969 … well, the time had come, in their eyes, to head off Elon.)
b) USA. Figures reported by the National Catholic Register and several diocesan sources reveal a dramatic increase in the number of adults preparing to join the Catholic Church. (JH: Please see Mon 6.)
c) Rémi Brague: “The Problem of Malsi is that it is a Legislation”. Rémi Brague chooses his words with care, so that his observations about Islam seem understated, and his conclusions mild. But if you pay careful attention, you’ll notice…. (JH: Please see Mon 8.)

… at possible explanations … the constant factor has been that “crazy” today seems not so crazy once we’ve lost all faith in people “above”, in positions of power. In social media, we can construct any sort of plausible case, throw in some hard data, and Pammy’s your aunty.

8. The Paris Review
… is an old publication of the “left literary establishment”, specialising in literary pieces by “highly regarded authors” from their world … maybe “high-toned” is a better way to put it.
So, if an author is to give creedence to the Kubrik moon landing yarn, he must first give some detail but then question it, thereby being “evenhanded”, which is more than, say, the BBC and other MSM do today.
7. While Steve comments at HQ about the F-15E pilot rescue
… Andy posts at 1344 that he was not rescued. Your choice in this fog of war.
6. IYE has a piece at 1344 on “the energy beast”
He quotes from it … I also have a takeaway from it:
“In 1932, the Fabian-linked organisation Political and Economic Planning published a pamphlet titled Freedom and Planning. It proposed decoupling distribution from production, installing an unelected planning authority between producer and consumer, and setting the standards by which goods would flow. The farmer would retain operational freedom over his fields. The quantities, the pricing, and the market access would be determined by a distribution authority he never voted for.
The pamphlet noted that of all Britain’s institutions, only one would require no structural change to fit the new order: the Bank of England.
Ninety-four years later the architecture is the same, but the scale is now global.
The distribution authority is a physical corridor. The standards are environmental, financial, and regulatory. And the institution that requires no change is the Bank for International Settlements — which published the unified ledger blueprint, calibrates the capital requirements, and built the settlement infrastructure through which the corridor will clear.”
“It was made by Teddington Studios, the British studio then under the control of Warner Brothers. It was a “quota quickie”, a film made under the British Cinematograph Films Act of 1927- created to counter the dominance of American films in Britain.
The film is a simple (if properly restrained British) love story. It begins as an unemployed car salesman, Peter Middleton, who has lost the last of his money in cards, takes a street orphan under his wing and pretending the orphan is his son, persuades a softhearted landlady to rent him a room, although he has no money.
The next day, while trying to con the chauffeur of a fancy motorcar, he meets the rich young Cynthia Hatch. However, intrigued by his audacity, she hides her identity from him when he mistakes her for a working girl and to impress her, he pretends that the car is his.
And so, in the best scene in the movie, she convinces him to take her to a fancy restaurant that he, of course, he can’t pay for. There she puts him up to going to the powerful Mr. Hatch (her father, still unknown to him) to pitch a scheme for petrol (gas) stations. He promises that he will make good and then hire her as his secretary.
However, her scheme backfires when her father rejects him and he goes to work for the competition. He holds her to her promise, and she finds herself working for her father’s chief competitor.
Its all wrapped up neatly in a little more than an hour as the young entrepreneur gets the best of his future father-in-law and wins the girl. As the girl, Nancy O’Neil is quite good and Ian Hunter is good, if a little stiff, as the lead. After this film, he went to Hollywood, where he may be best known for playing King Richard in “The Adventures of Robin Hood”.
It was directed by Michael Powell, who went on to make “Black Narcissus” and “The Red Shoes”, among other classics.”

Plus Sunday 7 says something else.
1. DAD at 1343
a) A large-scale police operation, conducted after several months of investigation, has dismantled a structured network facilitating illegal immigration in southwestern France. Two men have been charged and placed in pretrial detention.
b) Denmark, Austria, Greece, Germany, and the Netherlands. All five have drawn up a list of countries with which they could open migrant centers or consider other “innovative solutions,” according to sources cited by AFP.
c) Military authorization required to stay abroad? A German law on military service stipulates that men (aged 17 to 45) “must obtain authorization from the army recruitment center” if they leave the country for more than three months.
d) Discovering Chartreuse Elixir: a Very Spiritual Spirit. There is something rather mysterious about the aura surrounding this green bottle, crafted in silence by the monks.
Housekeeping … 0620 BST … cunning plan is to resume hostilities around 1330 today with our chaps’ and any chapesses’ incoming, plus a few other items, then a film, then music including at least one jazz track, then back to full-on posting approaching evening. This morning, for me, involves personal contact around the west and a short service of sorts.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter Day … or Resurrection Day … or choc eggs and bunnies day … or even Brit bank holiday … however you commemorate it, may you stay safe and well through these iconic few days.
This below was saved about 5 a.m. BST, Sunday, posted on X by Malcolm Roberts, Queensland, Senator for One Nation downunder, which shows that the cultural underpinning for the west is well summed up … yes, it is the rolling away of the stone which was the first scene to greet those coming to the tomb and was also the first Easter reference I saw upon logging in just now.
Whichever way you observe today and Malcolm Roberts quoted this:
“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” — Matthew 28:6
… or you can go the egg route (sidebar) or whatever … it certainly set the cat among the pigeons from that point forward, around AD33, even to the dating of our current era, plus many political scribes are noting, on this 2026 day, that events are moving in an apocalyptic direction, millions around the world are flocking to churches still not burnt down by the baddies.
And so, thoughts and prayers for readers and the suffering out there. See you in the next post around 1330.
(1618) Call me a loony but I have a contractual obligation with my Maker to give the politics a rest until tomorrow afternoon, post-prandially, following this post. Music, film, docu-short, yes but no real world politics until maybe 1330 Sunday. Similar arrangement at OoL which I’ll post there. Must do this.

There are four linked comments by the noble IYE but only one is being posted … here:
Urgh! “FDA Rubber-stamps Approval of Lab-grown Salmon”
JH: The other comments stay in situ for sensitivity reasons, let’s say. Easily found by our regulars … just been looking at them after the Delingpodcast. Think we have enough for now to keep us occupied.
10. A most interesting podcast
NG talks so much sense imo.
