It was at Monday 17 … DAD sends this solution:
“No 17 Radius = 5.
Proof is too long to print here, but we can confirm the answer from the Small Triangle 4, (8-r) and r. 4squared + (8-r) squared = r squared.
If r=5 then the sum of [4squared + (8-r)] squared = 16 + 9 = 25 Therefore r = the square root of 25; which = 5 QED.
IE we have the 3:4;5 right angle triangle.”
……
JH: Wunnerful. Wonder if this might also help:

2. This Massie Thing
Best method might be to just load the sshots and leave it at that. You need more? It helps to actually be on X … for example Steve’s on the rally he posts as Xes. If I run a series of X embeddings, this site autoexpands them. If I run it as a |url, it appears as a url.
(I’ve started coughing now, nose, throat ears … this is a newish thing happening in this setting.)
Right … why is Massie important to us? Because it’s crucial to them and Them, plus that primary is today in Kentucky.
Note that there’s no poll size mentioned below:
1. Housekeeping related to This Massie Thing
Before getting onto that topic, chaps and chapesses, there’s the little matter of your publican’s health here. It’s no more nor less important than your own, readers, except that it does affect how much screen time I can afford before the pain starts.
My rationale is that our readership is fairly closed or rather self-closing, e.g. references to 1385 make sense to our regulars, Watchlist, navbar, sidebar comments and so on. Lord Toby’s site means something, also Malsi.
One thing I’d best start inserting in anything UK govt is “alleged” … readers know why. Same applies to Massie above but it’s less fraught with thug plod danger. The good ole colloquialism or euphemism is something all “droppers” should be aware of.
As far as bias goes, the publican is clearly biased towards the Brit non-Woke and is a tad impatient with both the Israel and Hamas lobbies … and yet, and yet … they’re interested in us and as our gallant “leaders” are in thrall to some lobby or another … EU, WEF, black nobility, red shield etc. … then it must be taken into account. IYE’s bias is known due to his digging and his piece is in comments, whereas mine is this morning front page Tue 2.
Why? Partly because zion or royal critical is best accessed from our remote locations, whereas Loomer can be accessed in sshot form here, mainly because I couldna be bothered redacting … not feeling all that well. Not a perfect system but it’s what IS just now.
(1547) Later in the afternoon and I’m not well, folks … talking core heart, circulatory, stroke territory. Still far enough away to blog, appointment is scheduled. All the cooking and cleaning done, plenty of food and warm.

17. Try this
… more difficult this time.
Hints: At one point, you’ll need to create a right-angled triangle, using a radius as a hypotenuse. You’ll also need to use the quadratic equation formula. Last hint … you need to eliminate r from the right of the equation, making that value now zero.
The method, procedure, plan of attack is straight Year 8 equation reduction … you are trying to end up with zero on the right of the equation.

The Steve Report … onto the rally itself
… (if you found the White Wyrm flag being waved around in that video it was me, or my mate).
I won’t lie, the fact that so many keynote speakers were banned from entering the UK by Starmer’s quasi-communist government did put a slight dampener on it. That is of course my opinion, having attended last year’s UTK when many speakers were there from countries with similar problems. Although Eva wasn’t there this year she did post this:
Glen Beck did get to speak and he was very good – his daily radio show has a massive MAGA following in the States. Here’s a clip:
Also Nick Shirley, who first exposed the fraud committed by Somali immigrants – who were imported in their tens of thousands by Barry Soetoro. The banned Polish MEP, Dominik Tarczynski, gave a thumping endorsement on screen, over the interwebs – here he is last Thursday, talking to Martin Daubney (GB News) about his ban:

3. DAD at 1384
a) Yesterday I made this comment about the driver of the car in Modéne, Italy, who drove into people on the pavement...[DAD – Mental problems?]. We now learn………
“He is not, in fact, a radicalized Muslim. It is more likely that his “plan” arose in a context of social and psychiatric distress. Salim, who suffers from schizoid personality disorder….
b) “There were more than 25 14-year-olds attacking us in the street”: on the sidelines of Brussels Pride 2026, artists were physically assaulted and subjected to homophobic insults. The two drag queens….
c) Not so long ago, the stock image of someone from the far-Right was easily summoned: they’d be male, obviously, and very probably bald, and questionable tattoos. The face of the far-Right, it seems, is changing – and it’s becoming a good deal prettier….
d) French political leaders being given hundreds of millions of pounds of British taxpayers’ cash to stop boat migrants have admitted they have ‘no solution’ and that extra police funding will ‘not change anything’….
e) The losses could be enormous. Sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning, several individuals broke into a parking garage in the 15th arrondissement, which housed a luxury chauffeur service. The small group made off with 17 cars….

12. The Steve Report on the Pre-Rally
DAD (Sun 7) and the crowd size – yeah, it was big. Like I said last night it was bigger than last year.
So this year the start line for UTK was north of the river Thames and as required we formed up behind the stewards. I came up by train from Salisbury with a mate who’d served as a sniper in the Queen’s Regiment. We met with other ex-forces at Waterloo then boarded the underground to Euston where we joined the crowd that was already moving out.
Straight away I could tell it was massive and I’d forgotten just how noisy these things can be, however what struck me most – the same as it did last year – was the sea of flags. The moving off time came and went and we didn’t seem to go anywhere but really that was due to the sheer numbers attending. Finally we were off, the hands on my watch read 1:25. Everyone was happy.
Donning my beret yesterday for the first time since 1989 was both strange and familiar. At one point a man much younger than me approached, put his hand out saying simply “29”. He must’ve seen the green beret and cap badge through the crowd – we’d served in the same regiment (29 Commando RA) though obviously at different times.
Having served so recently (2010 to 2021) it was good to hear about the regiment in the 21st Century. We were then joined by a young woman and with that my memory for faces kicks in and I told her who she was. She smiles; she works for GB News as a researcher, was at the rally in a private capacity. Great conversation about a very sensitive subject and yes she’s the girlfriend of the chap who shook my hand.
More ex-forces than last year, much hand shaking and being slapped on the back by folk who appreciate our armed forces. Weaving through my mate and I got nearer to the front so we could get on to Parliament Square and the stage where it all happens. If you can spot the White Wrym in the first few minutes of this video, me and my mate are directly below it 🙂
