This is the earlier warmup for the Holmes film this afternoon … not the best episode of a quite good series with this Holmes and Watson, ta IYE … but I went straight for it coz of the gal … Lucille Vines, born 1929 and guess what … still alive at 96. Strange bio … gave up the acting, married, baby at 43, also still alive. Sort of gal I’m susceptible to, reminds me of WN2, who looked not unlike Joan Collins in her better years. Holmes was certainly susceptible in the episode … to a point. Terrible accent … Connecticut yankee gal trying to be sou-western … and terrible acting … but who cares?
… is almost certainly the communist of one shade or the other:
Despite the justice of the cause, the fame of the march, what on earth was that communist woman doing up there? I was in Melbourne city square following the GG dismissal of the Whitlam govt in 1975 and a man in the distance literally climbed onto a soapbox with a microphone.
I was with the sister of my mate at the time, he being largely apolitical, but she was communist … Trotskist I think. She smiled and named the soapboxer, said he was a Stalinist. Uh huh, said I, and you’re a Trotskyite, yes? Didn’t he get an icepick in his head?
Don’t say things like that … and it’s Trotskyist, not Trotskyite.
Uh huh, right.
Actually, I had not a clue what she was a member of, it looked right, knew I’d check before finally posting … bet she was a radical feminazi too, suffragette type.
14. Tariffs
He’s certainly in a bind with Roberts. Does he call out Roberts at paedo island, plus the rest of it … in which case, Roberts no longer cooperates, refuses to stop the lawfare judges, finds so many ways to stymie DJT before the midterms, even losing control of both houses … or does he go full on and call them all out …
… before the midterms?
13. Bona fides
There seems to be a thread, a theme, running through Unherdables today … and that’s the question of how … how to actually bring about the needed changes, without bad players poised to hijack that process. Bona fides is another way of naming this theme for today.
12. That’s definitely one litmus test
There was that one yesterday about Snyder with all his books … the idea is, knowing nothing ehatever about him, nor this namesake billionairess “Christian” with five husbands etc. etc. … that we would read and heed anything he said.
We’ll know them by their fruits, yes, but we’ll also know them by their modus operandi, their conduct.
11. There are certain things which won’t go away
So many scenarios posited … CK was shot, was not shot was one such scenario … I can’t see how all the students present did not see and know one way or the other. Where are they on social media? There’s a clear dislocation going on here. Someone is managing to suppress all these voices.
If the entire thing was staged though, then that explains it perfectly. Everyone in that space paid to do as they were paid to. Remember that old guy saying it was him?

9. The despairing versus the mockerati
8. Ordinarily, some black shouting at everyone
… e.g. at Gold’s Gym in the US, would be a reason to walk away. Not here.
7. Today’s NYC and other elections
One of the other races, this man is the GOP candidate:
On the Trump decision to back Cuomo:
Either he’s shockingly advised or else has always been a NYC liberal wannabee, or else he does not have the moral clarity of MAGA … to back despicable Cuomo is the politics of opportunism.
6. So nice to have seen Lara wake up
… but it took the sexual assault in Cairo, didn’t it.

Speaker Johnson nails it. The ACA was a Trojan horse for Big Pharma and insurance giants—premiums skyrocketed 143% since 2013 while deductibles crushed families. Democrats’ answer? Dump $335B more into subsidies that line corporate pockets, not lower costs. Republicans are slashing the fraud: Medicare overpayments, phantom enrollees, and hospital price-gouging. Real reform means HSAs, transparency, and forcing bureaucrats to justify every dime. The media won’t admit it, but Trump’s policies are exposing this racket—taxpayers fund the crisis, insiders reap the profits.

a) France. The new Minister for Relations with Parliament, Mr. Laurent Panifous, has just announced ……… that the bill legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide will be debated in February.
b) European Union economic powerhouses France and Italy carry higher debt-to-GDP ratios than Ukraine, according to new International Monetary Fund (IMF) data.
c) A groundbreaking poll released over the weekend by French pollster Elabe shows that the right-wing, anti-immigration National Rally (RN) remains the dominant political force ahead of the 2027 presidential election in France.
d) Germany. Left-radical Antifa terrorists have admitted to an arson attack on the car of AfD politician Dr. Baumann in Hamburg last night.
Hearts of Oak: The Week According To . . . Prof Norman Fenton.
Just adding:
The BBC are in deep shit:
‘The BBC “doctored” a Donald Trump speech by making him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot, according to an internal whistleblowing memo seen by The Telegraph.
A Panorama programme broadcast a week before the (2024) US election “completely misled” viewers by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”, when in fact he said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”’ – Telegraph Associate Editor Gordon Rayner
Apparently a very slick piece of editing put two pieces of speech together with another almost an hour later to make it look like it was said at the same time. The programme then showed the Proud Boys marching off to the Capitol, however the shot was from an hour before Trump began his speech. The White House has been informed.
“Cambridge’s oldest women-only college has sparked a storm by saying it’ll keep admitting trans women, even after the Supreme Court ruled a woman means a biological female. The Mail has the story.
They say the stance defies April’s Supreme Court ruling in which five justices unanimously said ‘woman’ means a biological woman and that a trans woman does not have the right to use a women-only space or service.
Newnham College, which has feminist Germaine Greer, actress Emma Thompson and presenter Clare Balding among its alumni, has created a gender policy stating it is open to all “female” applicants – including those born as men.
Although it has been accepting trans-identified males since 2017, its new policy document enshrines their ability to access the single-sex space.
On Saturday night, furious campaigners pledged to report the college to the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Charity Commission over a possible breach of equalities law.”
JH: Not entirely sure we males can be born men … pretty tall order for our mums. Male babies would be fine, thx, give us a few years, took me decades.

This photograph is the first in which a person appears in front of the camera and is also the first photo of the city of Paris. The used camera needs about 5 minutes to collect the light and scene. The street was full of people, but as they moved during the shot they failed to impress themselves in the photo except for one person who stopped for a few minutes to shine his shoes and history immortalized him. It was the year 1839.
6. The girl in the first song of the music post below
… listen through it if you would, file it in main file or bin as you want:
Firstly, the rationale of using a “reactor version” of a song
With a music video or three on a blog … adding a reactor to one side can multiply the dynamics going on, provided:
the song itself has enough going for it from its time, is a classic of its genre, if the acoustics and vision are good and so on … Sultans of Swing, House of the Rising Sun, Righteous Bros all fit the bill as known-knowns;
the reactor is precisely the right person for that genre, for that type of thing, is not full of BS for the first two minutes, e.g. lacks ego, is generally knowledgeable, cares, is open to something not his/her era (all three below are generations younger) … and so it goes on;
there’s at least some audience for the songs in 2025. For example, most here would maybe not care for Joe Cocker, his mannerisms, his voice … but a dozen maybe do realise it’s of our era, it was our culture of the time, our radio … and had a murky backstory;
there are other dynamics going on as well as just song and reactor … maybe the reactors themselves bring a whole different human element into it … together with their own backstories … together with some difficult questions … that’s why these three very responsive and/or unusual girls below.
Why not boys for such a job? Wasted, I’m afraid. Give the boys tech-proficient songs they can analyse to the nth degree and they’re on clover … but not with Joe Cocker’s gravelly power and passion … that needed someone like Stacey (third number), who noted that Joe Cocker (initials JC by the way) “seemed possessed by the music” 13m 05s, then 14m 57s … he didn’t just rattle it off. Almost complicit you might say.
And in the second song, a very vulnerable seeming girl opens her vlog with discordant metal noise … quite out of keeping with her nature it would seem … Stacey’s word “possessed” springs to mind. I went looking in youtube about her backstory and at one point, she wrote of “returning to her family”, which suggests she was drawn away. Shan’t look further down that rabbithole.
About the Beatles song itself which Cocker sings, Paul McCartney himself was all for this “good northern lad” from Sheffield.
And after the song ends, she reads further about it, something to do with some Caesar or other, or some Section or other, whatever that means (for some reason, Huntingdon sprang to my mind and the notion of possession again).
A few Xers pointed out, about the Huntingdon perps, that one of the killers may well have been a yardy:
… but it sounded more like a “prison conversion”:
Plus Steve’s comment here:
“Seems Rupert is in agreement with you, James: ‘The British State Is Complicit.’”
The third song below brings in yet another dynamic … the backing singers are elevated far more … they’re almost co-leads at times … almost … they ask him questions in some sort of catechism, not unlike sirens, which he answers … everyone giving his/her all … and then that bloodcurdling scream from the “good northern lad”.
Essentially, I’m saying that there’s no way we’d have seen any of the above without these reactors to one side. Add to that those two curious girls (tracks one and two) … what a contrast. The first instantly possessed by the sound, voodoo like … the second typical western would-be good girl, wanting to analyse, unable to. Fragments, bits and pieces, no? No coherent whole backstory.
Throw in here that the second kid reminds me of Carrie, plus the Tuesday reference is to Tuesday Weld, who in turn was on with Don McLean, who’d written that song about 1959, plus she was inhabiting Chateau Marmaunt at one time … look that one up. Plus in that second song, note the bass guitar inverted, turned on its head. Plus more snippets coming next post.
Juss sayin’ like.
The reactors: Stacey’s one of my regular visits, always an intelligent assessment. The other two are new to me. The first girl comes up again in Mon 6 on a different topic, not music.
