No particularly good film today … yet … so let’s have these:
Let’s have something different:

10. We don’t need this, never wanted it …
… never voted for any of it.
9. The British conundrum
Such good people, these, being played so badly by unprincipled pollies.
8. For how much longer?
Bad players there, all over the place, demonrats and RINOs … there’s so much pain coming up as things slowly become better. Over here, the scenario seems to be Reform getting in, Farage puts in a couple of months, hands over to Yusuf.
7. Vox on New Delhi
Now the transformation of Silicon Valley into New Delhi Northwest suddenly makes a lot more sense.
Isilme and that time of year again (part two of two)
I started picking again and after a little while a few chirps started up. Then they flew into next door’s rhododendron bush and a huge chirping ensued. I think they were passing on to their neighbours the horrors of their berries being picked.
Beloved then came out to help me. He has a gadget. An old fashioned berry picker that his brother gave him as a birthday present one year. It worked well and we ended up with six punnets of blackcurrants. Yay! I’ll get some more tomorrow maybe….if the sparrows leave me any.
Meanwhile, in the back garden we have the mangetout and it has been very good. Half a large mixing bowl full of pods! We immediately had some with our meal. The apples are extremely plentiful this year and our poor eating apple is groaning. We had to prop up one of the branches. We will thin out the apples of course, but even so it will be heavy when they grow bigger.
The courgettes are puny and small at the moment but in a little while we’ll be collecting those. See those little apples under the courgettes? That’s because the courgettes are under the Bramley apple tree! It’s shedding its own little apples from the overwhelmed branches.
The broccoli is coming along well too. The creeping Jenny and the sedum are taking over the path by the raspberries, but we quite like that.
Naturally, the narrator skips over this bowdlerised account in his tour of the area:

2. DAD at 1095
a) This news has sent shockwaves through Catholic circles attached to Church tradition: documents reveal that the Vatican deliberately lied in order to implement a reform drastically restricting access to the traditional Mass and thus stigmatising thousands of faithful around the world.
b) France. In the first five months of the year, 322 anti-Christian acts were recorded, compared to 284 in 2024 over the same period last year, the ministry announced on Thursday.
c) With some 640 bikes disappearing from its radars each week, Agemob, the public organization that manages Vélib’ shared bikes in the Paris region, is “warning” that the level of vandalism is “three times higher” than normal.
d) There will be more climate bollocks from the BBC. The BBC Complaints Director Colin Tregear has enrolled on the green grooming course run as a six-month sabbatical by the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN).
e) MP Zarah Sultana who was ousted from Labour announces she is starting new political party with Jeremy Corbyn.
JH: DAD got in before me with the scoop. ☺️
I’d encourage all Labour MPs to resign and form far left commie factions … the more the merrier.

Steve corner … firstly at 1095
JH: Generally, the items not pointed to above but appearing at 1095 include those we’ve already had or which have now been quickly overtaken by subsequent events or were opinion pieces … these are just signposts above.
Steve’s Charlie Kirk quote
One of the publishing firms over in Germany is Bertelsmann, who are pure illumined. Years ago, in the time of the old blog N.O., I ran a piece by blogger Prodicus on the filth sent to every state medical clinic in brochure form, saying it was not normal for parents not to sexually molest their toddler.
Obviously it did not say “molest” but we showed a sshot and it certainly urged parents to pleasure the child … no more need be said by us. By an amazing coincidence, they were connected with a family called Solvay who were very much connected to the child incidents detailed in my post on The Missing Children. That blog, OoL, not long after disappeared, I’m not claiming solely due to that post.
That in turn was connected to a trial in Belgium on child trafficking, involving Euro royal houses. Also connected was Etienne Davignon who was asked why they were so effective … he replied because they were good talent spotters.

Here was their Young Global Leaders “community”:
There were obvious names connected … Clinton, Mandela … but also not so well known, e.g. Kemi Badenough and Yaccarino at X. And the obvious question … just who is Mr. Big behind it all?
Oh, and two musicians involved were Yo Yo Ma and Yehudi Menuhin.

12. Is Pammy to blame for Ms Comey?
A counterview … while this may have been technically how it started, it was still “arranged” and Pammy had the power to stop it once she was in position … if DJT said yes of course.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma,_Lady_Hamilton
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Hamilton_Woman
“If nothing else, ‘That Hamilton Woman’ proved two things: Vivien Leigh is just as beautiful in black and white as she is in the glorious technicolor of ‘GWTW’; and when it comes to the cinema, her acting technique on screen is every bit as expert as Laurence Olivier’s. (In fact, Olivier himself admitted this when he saw a screening of her Scarlett O’Hara performance.)
At any rate, my main interest in seeing this film was that I learned it was Winston Churchill’s favorite movie during World War II, dealing as it does with the British admiralty and the threat of war and domination. As Lady Hamilton, Vivien Leigh narrates the story and since it is told from her viewpoint, she manages to dominate with her beauty and acting prowess. How she rises from abject poverty to become Lord Nelson’s mistress makes up the bulk of the story–which sometimes seems a bit unbelievable. However, since both stars were at the time married to others, one can easily see that these roles suited both of them to perfection. Surely, if anyone could identify with these characters, they could!
Slow moving in spots, handsomely photographed in black and white, it is interesting to note how very British Leigh actually was when not assuming a more American way of talking (as in ‘GWTW’) — proof indeed that she was a good actress. Of all of her films after “Gone with the Wind”, I prefer her in ‘Waterloo Bridge’ (with Robert Taylor). Following that, I would choose this one.
Some of the ships are obvious models–but other than that, the production is a handsome one. Worth seeing for the two stars alone.”
