The song below was sent to Toodles first, to Queen Bess second, to X:
… and now to our humble new blog built by us, to all at the tavern … Happy Birthday, all three !!!
Plus some lines via IYE:
Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. HWLongfellow.
Plus wishing Steve well with his continued adventure, hopefully culminating in an eye witness report from Sep 13 London, plus to all of us who count ourselves at least an occasional part of this tavern !!!
There’s a second song, a lot darker song, a song of resilience by a Canadian band, appropriate for poor Canada, Britain and Downunder, while the US attempts to rise from the dark nightmare. Actually, it’s a song of hope, not gloom … praying for a new day at a time, powder dry, ready for battle:
16. People should respect one anothers’ infirmities
15. Steve Bagshaw

By the way the roads around East Devon; the lampposts thereof, are now flagpoles. Just like the roads round my way there’s Union flags everywhere. This is good.
@UKLabour’s most prominent Pakistani Muslim politicians, Shabana Mahmood, now inherits responsibility for the National Inquiry into the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal. Is anyone really surprised that @Keir_Starmer has appointed @ShabanaMahmood as Home Secretary?
This is no routine appointment. The Home Secretary will shape the scope, independence, and credibility of the inquiry. And yet the very communities whose daughters were betrayed are now told to place their trust in a politician from the same background as those most implicated in the abuse.
So the question must be asked: what are the odds that our new Home Secretary will lead without fear or favour? History tells us victims were abandoned precisely because of fear and favour. Fear of upsetting so-called “community leaders.” Favour shown to political allies from the bloc vote supplying Pakistani clan leaders.
Which is why I have a few direct questions for our new Pakistani Muslim Home Secretary:
1. Will she acknowledge the overwhelming over-representation of Pakistani Muslim men in the gang rape of vulnerable white girls?
2. Will she accept that these crimes were both racially motivated and, in the minds of perpetrators, religiously justified?
3. Will she commit to tackling cultural practices, such as first cousin marriage, that continue to damage communities and entrench abusive norms within Britain’s Pakistani diaspora? Until she answers these questions, not only will trust remain impossible, concerns will remain as to whose interests she is really serving.
_________ I am Raja Miah. It is now seven years since I first started to expose how politicians protected the rape gangs. Labour Party leaders tried everything to stop me from exposing what took place. They fabricated evidence and used @gmpolice and @CPSUK to try and maliciously prosecute me. I spent over three years on bail as case after case collapsed in court. My mother died before I could clear my name.
The National Inquiry we fought for is about to begin. This is our one chance to ensure it isn’t another whitewash. But only if enough people know what really happened and are prepared to fight back against the next attempt at a cover up.

10. And whilst still on schools
9. Was this so or was it made up, exaggerated?
Let’s look at the (generally) faux media just to get the denial:
Right … well the extra is for turning up at the school … yes. Reuters is not wrong there. However, what’s with the original court case in the first place … what was that about?
There’s a three minute youtube of a dry river bed being covered by water in a short time … very nice … except:
Just why would you, as an uploader, drown out the sound of the water rising? If that is what the video’s about? It’s almost a mania, fanaticism whenever something is portrayed, not to allow nature to just be … it must be embellished, helped along, otherwise it’s too boring.
7. Peter Clack
Why would people even countenance such obvious claptrap?
6. That river in Egypt
Rather than dwelling on why normies are as they are and why these ones should follow O’Brien … the word Fabian comes into play here … to me, the more interesting question is why Fabians themselves do as they do, push the things they push when society has never headed upwards to prosperity and security as a result of these policies, excusing that by happily muttering that the conditions weren’t right at that time.
We could also ask about the effect of Christianity. Chesterton was asked why it had been tried and found wanting. He replied that it had never been tried as a system beyond cultural consensus, norms, e.g. church weddings, at least subscribing to fidelity, restating principles such as faith, hope and charity … and so on.
While a loose allegiance to those principles, at least in lip service, has underpinned ordinary westerners’ views, the other side is not like that … they’re fanatical, rabid in pushing agendas, usually clandestinely in the west, but bluntly and physically in death cult lands.
Why are they mentally like that? Flying so easily off the handle, vicious, when their entire philosophy they believe is love everyone and hug trees, “protect democracy”. For example, the mRNA vaxxes truth is appearing around the world, causing dropping of mandates … there is so much evidence, in this case (2020/1), yet the other side tenaciously clings to the karenhood, insisting everyone must be made to.
We saw the gainsaying at OoL recently … flatly saying that the accumulated evidence is not. Just that. Or on climate and Net Zero, for which there is copious evidence saying it’s bollox in this form … see the Peter Clack post item above. Why does the other side flatly deny? Yes, those with agendas and a financial killing to make … well, one can see why there. But normies?
And those hostile to, invading the west … they’re loving the division.
Haven’t seen Natalie for sometime but yesterday her pic appeared here with Mike Benz. Now, just between NW and I … she needs to watch the lbs a tad … her shape of face is not one which would tolerate too much broadening … probably so for all of us.
g. As for Rayner, she put herself in a financial hole and when she was caught she just carried on digging. Shame, not so long ago her and Keir were the new socialist power couple..
“The Fabian Society is delighted to congratulate Keir and Angela on their election as leader and deputy leader of the Labour party. We are incredibly proud to see two of our most talented Fabian Society members take charge of the British opposition.
“Both Keir and Angela exemplify the best of Fabian values in the way they combine such passion for social justice with a hard-headed practicality. The Labour party and the country will be well served by two inspiring Fabians leading the British left.”
🚨 Keir Starmer’s reshuffle of the Labour Cabinet is now complete.

b) The Minister of the Interior [in regard to Sept 10] says, “This instruction to block everything is stupid,” said Retailleau during a visit to Clermont-Ferrand, central France, today, casting the strike as both unnecessary and harmful.
c) According to Les Echos, the government is considering creating a state-guaranteed reinsurance fund to cover riot-related damage, with a maximum annual contribution of €775 million.
d) Faced with a massive influx of comments from climate-sceptic internet users, the association of weather enthusiasts in the Centre-Val de Loire region decided to stop the process on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, by banning comments on some of its publications.
