… and a longish piece (mercy buckets) on the govt turmoil:

Wednesday.

Decision day for the new French PM.

The motions of censure tabled on Monday, October 13, by La France Insoumise and the National Rally will be debated starting at 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning [today] in the National Assembly. Following the Prime Minister’s general policy speech on Tuesday [yesterday] afternoon, we know more about which groups will and will not vote for it ….. (continues at 1173)

1. “What was that all about”

… was my response to TDS opening teaser today on finance:

“On Friday, the FT reported that one of the UK’s largest philanthropic grant makers, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) is withdrawing its support for US-based organisations. According to the pink pages, CIFF “no longer understands the US policy environment governing donations” and that it was “pausing donations until authorities clarified the applicable laws and rules related to the foreign funding of US NGOs”.

CIFF is the philanthropic vehicle of British billionaire hedge fund manage Christopher Hohn, whose firm, The Children’s Investment (TCI), has a history of reckless decisions and shareholder activism. Former Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak was once a partner of the hedge fund …”

Twas a good teaser for an article behind a paywall, which Lord Toby likes to do. And what’s in it for plebs like us, poor sods? I keep coming back to a classic Russian song in which the Refrain opening was, too literally translated … “for what for you to know”? You could translate it as “why know” but “for what” better accentuates the “is there any legit or pressing reason which would give you any useful result”?

One obvious further question is who funded the grant fund in the first place? And which values govern their grant giving?

(1626) Almost evening all. Strange thing … last 48 hours inundated with news items, suddenly zero we’ve not already had.

OMG – THIS IS AWFUL

A young lady tells people how dangerous Southampton is

"Don't go down alleys, you will get followed"

The UK isn't safe for women anymore.pic.twitter.com/2Bdgd19E9J

— Basil the Great (@Basil_TGMD) October 13, 2025

Basil is a goody, look at his X posting … yet he presents that unquestioningly … forgive me but there are certain immediate questions:

Was she alone down those alleys? Why? At what time? During the day? At 10 p.m.? At 2 a.m.? At 4 a.m. in a park? Why? How did she get away with it with her parents? Is there a father in the home? Is he a trad father or a ne’er-do-well on benefits? If she had not been alone but in a group of four or more, did they have a predator neutralisation plan?

Those are all questions germane to the issue. And not all paedos are deathculter demographics. Yes, the girls are correct in the clip but the girls also must look to themselves in this new, dangerous society under WEF, the UN, EU and Uniparty … who are trying to destroy, it’s their mission.

(0720) Morning all … so dark and yet usually it’s lightening by now a bit, sluggish brain says must be wet out there, inside the abode as dark as a cave. Awoke 3 a.m., did some writing, second sleep, up now … just realising again how good autumn is … a sort of calmness descends. (0848)

 

3. The issue of faux accounts and bad players

By faux accounts, I mean they’re not who they say … Elon, his mother, son, Barron, Rubio, Vivek. In some cases, it’s not hostile, it can just be to get money from you but as Wendy said … it can be to steal digital wallets.

The best strategy for an ordinary antiWoke onliner is to assume any approach by a big name is fake … do not respond at all. For example, I was approached by “Barron Trump”:

The other issue is the troll out to harm or involve you in an ongoing feud, wasting your time, distracting from your mission, waylaying. And the most difficult to warn about this are both the Woke left, esp. the young, plus the dyed in the wool, charitable, older Libertarian who thinks “free speech” means allowing anyone in to destroy us, on the grounds that stopping attacks = curbing free speech.

We are in a war right now and starry eyed “let’s all be loving and fair” ists, citing State curbs on our speech, even our thoughts … I’m not arguing with that bit at all, yes, State and Globo are doing precisely that in order to enslave us … cannot see that certain known people exercising that right on our platform are known bad players with form, there to troll, waylay, destroy, cynically, in a Ray Epps way on J6 … not to just put a civil counter-opinion. The operative word is “cynically”.

They’re known soldiers of the Wokerati or Globo, they put a simple lie, showing no receipts, requiring us to expend time and effort to refute, not them. That is NOT civil discussion, that is negating and stalling strategy … for example, vaxx harms are now universally attested to, so if a gainsayer says “not so”, it’s a total waste to engage, esp. if a known Woke troll, e.g. a Schiff or Fang Fang.

I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake people out of this naivety in a time of war.

1. DAD at 1172

JH: Just a note before that but there is some sort of coding issue archiving “France” to UHC-WP and so I’m thinking about firstly how to remedy … that’s the easy bit … but also how to make a major change to our haven to add another new blog but not in the form most think it will be. Or not. That’s for the next few weeks, requires exploring, discussing with my techie mate etc. … does NOT involve changing what we have at the haven. Just adding an archive.

Anyway, onto DAD:

France latest news. [ Earlier this morning than usual – I misread the time on my digital bedroom clock.]

a) After an initial working meeting on Monday, October 13, 2025, the Prime Minister will deliver his general policy statement on Tuesday, before facing his first motion of censure on Wednesday or Thursday.

b) Macron’s last-chance government appears to be stillborn, writes Hélèn. The composition of the new French government, led by Sébastien Lecornu, was announced on the evening of Sunday, October 12th.

c) Meanwhile UK/France relations are superb, according to Chris Philp.

25. DAD’s take on France

The cunning plan is to train, wash, eat, finish up, then come back to start DAD’s page at UHC-WP … the only regular commenter (as distinct from reader) with no page still as yet. However, there are two tricky questions to resolve first:

a. Do we run it with latest at the top, downwards to some point in the past, or do we have it read as we would a long, a tale, as most reports are?

b. How far back do we go? At which point in this Macronian mess do we start?

Any thoughts on this, esp. from DAD?

(1719) Too late, ha ha … have already started! Doing it latest first, in keeping with DAD’s blogging … it makes it much easier to add more below … we can go back as far as we wish … but the current news is at the top. I’ll write the dates in as we go back in time. DAD at any time can add or subtract. This is in the nature of an archive at UHC-WP:

France

(1734 first report from JH)

There are coding problems transferring … one WP will not accept some code from the other … comes out red in html, not black. I’m going to have to study this to see how to fix. It’s possible I’ll not be able to. 🍿🍿🍿.

Review:

“THE COVETOUS HEADSMAN is the fourth episode of THE SAINT and the first genuinely decent one of the whole series. This is a well-paced, exotic piece of television, with plenty of action and danger to see it through, and a back story of the kind that used to prop up many a British crime thriller of the 1950s. It’s a WW2 story about treachery, betrayal, and modern-day revenge, and Templar is in the middle of it and trying to work out what’s going on.

This episode also has a fantastic little supporting cast which fans of British cinema will adore. Hammer starlet Barbara Shelley has the damsel-in-distress role and looks very glamorous with it, while George Pastell is the villain of the piece and unusually whited-up for the part, which makes a change. The familiar-looking Eugene Deckers plays a detective, and best of all is 1930s actor Esmond Knight (father of Rosalind) playing one of Templar’s chums.”

(1220) Afternoon all. On the Tempus Fugit scale, time has actually slowed a tad, am catching up rapidly, hope it continues today. Dull and coolish out there, slightly brighter. (1232)
