(0559) Morning all … first glow of sun behind them thar clouds. (0710)

 

10. Fred Dibnah

9. Didn’t we have a luvverly time …

8. Morrisons (and ASDA)

Not going to run the YT by the Silver Fox … essentially, 3600 employees have been laid off by Morrisons … not good. Now, was it due to chsnges in online habits, was it due to politics … laying off indigenous (expensive) Brits for cheap foreigners … or are there other factors as well?

7. Bunch of bleedin’ liars

… Christian? Don’t make me laugh.

6. DAD at 1125

a) Bruno Retailleau, Minister of the Interior on ‘X’. “The man who desecrated the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by lighting a cigarette with the memorial flame was arrested in Paris for violating a grave, tomb, urn, or monument erected in memory of the dead.

b) “The EU’s Green Deal looks like Soviet central planning”—Historian Ion Mischevca.

c) The argument that Britain needs mass migration to sustain its economy and generous welfare state is fundamentally flawed and is, in reality, creating more economic problems…

d) “Guido hears from DC insiders that the disastrous – and eye-wateringly costly – Chagos sellout is not fully settled Stateside”.

(0418) Despite the time, a reasonable sleep, hope your is/was too. Low dark cloud out there. (0544)

 

5. The shameful dropping away

… of proper medical support for the indigenous Brit, American etc.

4. Another look at what divides our tavern patrons

The initial closing of the castle gates (or gates to the tavern complex) was my banning Wokery “in all its forms” … but that does not leave us agreeing on all matters. Going to look at this under the heading Views and then under the heading Presentation.

Views

Some of our news and views droppers must, by definition, inevitably clash on some things. Think it’s fair to say IYE looks at a form of metaphysical which allows the Book of Enoch, Mercury, symbolism et al, most certainly not Zionist, is strongly anti-paedo … Steve is pro-Britain, pro-MAGA and fairly pro-Israel … Dearieme is certainly not anti “Golden Age of Is**m, I attribute any golden age to Persia/Iran, I’m afap pro good women, anti Woke … Toodles is a widely read Christian, meaning OT just as much as NT … DAD is pro the old France and Britain, anti deathcult as we almost all seem to be … and so it goes on. Redacted writes God in the Jewish way G-d, MMutR is not “religious”, is “libertarian”, as is Julia across the way … and so on … Andy is Old Labour and has his own battles with the Left MSM, interfaces with us, the pack of fasc*** bstds according to, say, AOC.

In the inevitable clashes over the things we disagree on, the golden rule is civility, which IYE and Steve are exponents of, plus me … it’s the only possibly way … play the topic, not the man. Then we have the issue of Presentation.

Presentation

I’m hardening on this I’m afraid … never thought it would ever be an issue but it is … as I wrote to Toodles, Redacted may well be hurt by the reception but I assure him it’s essentially over presenting in paragraphs, with some coded euphemism, so that the average to above average reader of the English language can at least bleedin’ understand it. And not going on and on and on … nothing wrong with going on and on and on but not at HQ … the place for longs is at UHC or at the end of urls … and I’ll ensure that … fair notice now … I need to work a bit at UHC to make it even more accessible … there are some nice pieces over there.

Don’t forget Microdave, Bob and Isilme, Woodsy, Penseivat, Doonhamer and the usual bunch in this general corner of the sphere. Imho, uppermost are civility towards one another, not towards our targets out there, keeping emotion to our targets, not between ourselves … plus presenting in readable English … plus me maintaining a navigable series of sites to cover what we need to. Not perfect but basically doable, with some effort.

3. These two were brought by Steve last evening

… urls are in the sidebar as of this morning.

1. On a beach in Spain

In TDS newsletter this morning (url in Brolls), a vessel arrived, invading men dived off some were wrestled to the ground by tourists and locals:

“Witnesses branded the scenes as “surreal”. … Around 13 men, believed to be of Moroccan origin, are believed to have jumped out of the boat. According to witnesses, some of the migrants ran along the beach as soon as they reached dry land, while others tried to blend in with the crowd.”

Blend in? This was the peninsula’s biggest problem for well over a Millennium, no surprises. How to keep the savages out. On the question of “more savage than thou or not”, yes, Dearieme made a good point long ago that the “Iberians” were not exactly noted for their own sophistication “back in the day”, as was not much of Europe at the time … just look at the Franks … yet the deathcult always was savage and barbaric, real throwback “culture” … you’d not want them as neighbours at ground level.

(1638) Nearly evening all.

“This final picture in the Saint series is connected to the early 1940s RKO entries only by the presence of Louis Hayward, the original Simon Templar in 1938’s The Saint in New York.

This time around, the Saint seeks information about a girlfriend who cabled him for help—and then crashed her car into the river before his arrival on the scene. The police call it an accident, but Hayward (seems to be a section missing here) is a smooth-talking Saint whose smirk is alternately insolent and charming; caught red-handed snooping through an apartment, he merely removes the cigar from his mouth and asks politely, “Pardon me, do you have a match?”

He can play rough, however, as well—he does not hesitate to slap around a crook who has sneaked into his own room and doesn’t want to tell who sent him.

The Saint is assisted by right-hand man Hoppy (Thomas Gallagher), a reformed pickpocket (of course) who doubles as valet and bodyguard. The “girl Friday” of the title is a woman named Carol (Naomi Chance), whose help Templar enlists in tracking the mob that killed his girlfriend and is threatening and manipulating Carol over gambling debts.

The plot is okay but nothing extraordinary, although the identity of the secret mob “chief” did surprise me at the end. The mood is rather darker than that of the fairly breezy comedy-mysteries of a decade earlier; however, Louis Hayward’s confident performance, a fair amount of droll humor, and some atmospheric London underworld settings combine for an entertaining and still essentially light-hearted adventure.”

 

Let’s go with this Persuaders, with Catherine Schell, before an actual filum ready in the queue. I myself have some chores and commitments for just a while. See ya soon.

(1156) Not quite afternoon yet but health better here. As my dear mama dun told me … we’re only as good as our health. Yeah. (1239)

 

15. Sammy again

14. Really do hope you’re having a wonderful day

A really super day, one in which all good things happen. You saw this, before we move on?

13. Old news for us

… but possibly not to newcomers to socmed.

12. Did you see the new Chas3 £20 note?

The issue here is that though it’s a two year period to swap notes, there are two whammies against us. One is digital ID and the coming crash but there’s another too … banks are saying yes, you can deposit your old notes with us, we’re bound to take them by law but that’s a separate thing from withdrawing cash.

There are new rules whereby the cashier has a list of acceptable reasons to have the new cash, otherwise she can’t give it to you, even with the £800 per day limit. Plus one more thing … if you’ve been saving against the coming crash, and you’ve maybe made small deposits a dozen times in a year, the bank now asks … where exactly did that money come from?

11. It’s possible some of you chaps and chapesses

… aren’t completely up with this one as yet. You might be up with Thune’s dirty trix with Johnson against Trump. Right … Texas is redistricting, which should see five seats flip GOP. So what do three Dem crims do? Fly interstate, right, so that the chamber has no quorum and can’t ratify it.

Right, so back to Thune … some MAGAs are saying make sure JDV is in there calling no quorum. No response from Donny.

 

(0921) A few films in the pipelne, plus just a few Persuaders episodes … had to watch to see if I’d keep. Today feels as if it might be marginally better, touch skull. (0957)

 

10. Moosh corner

Moosh has been on the US. east coast, sampling the available liquid, plus the sights.

9. Is Pammy actually moving?

8. Psy-ops, yes

Why on earth would some bint even post something like that below? Easy enough to track the details. Having said all that, the so-called anti-Wokerati (us) are highly disorganised, where this mass-produced banner lot in masks are anything but disorganised.

Plus we consistently fail to think criminally, though we think we’re clever enough … moral compasses are effective restrictors of untoward action. Hence Them’s total crackdown on any form of dissent, massed or otherwise. Plus digital ID.

(0820) Morning all, just awoke, no idea of the weather, seems bright. A good sleep is a wondrous thing … Toodles wrote that I seemed peeved … I’m thinking “terse” might be the word, which one is with a splitting headache, which fortunately is not around now. Ok, into the fray! (0908)

 

5. Shoolie

She’s a good lass, doing the female equivalent of a Dad joke a day, plus she has a regular chap who follows her, a fellow wit, so all is well in this Wodehouse world. However, I just had to blight it:

Thinking maybe I’d gone too far, a reply appeared, which is sad that it must be so now in Britain … but even those who lighten our lives do see:

4. Tommy Robinson is bailed
