Today my revalidation period as a midwife comes to an end. After much thought I won’t be renewing my Midwifery registration.
2,298 days as a qualified midwife. Over 100 babies delivered. Hundreds of C-sections attended. Women held while they cried. Women supported to feed, stand, recover and eventually walk out of those doors with their new baby. That part I miss more than ever.
But after the defamation I have received, the vexatious referrals made against me by former colleagues, returning to the register is no longer something I feel safe to do. For two and a half years I have wrestled with this ending. I have questioned it, grieved it and prayed about where I go next. But nobody can take away the fact that I was a midwife or what those women, babies and 2,298 days taught me.
Maybe my place in maternity was never meant to end at the bedside. Maybe I was meant to take everything I experienced the good, the bad, the mistakes, the lessons and the things I can never unsee and use my voice differently. To speak about midwifery. To speak about maternity.

And most importantly, to keep listening to women, families and midwives. To speak of the failings. To start the conversation in the public domain to many who were in the dark.
Today something ends. But something else begins. In the words of Florence Nightingale: “I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small…” Perhaps today is my beginning. Once a midwife, always a midwife. Thank you all for your public support. It’s got me through. Midwife Rixon 17D0059E

Introduction
We, the inhabitants of England, united in defence of public interest and natural sovereignty, issue this formal notice of public outrage concerning the ongoing illegal harassment, damage, and harm inflicted on Victoria Rixon, a courageous whistleblower and retired midwife.
Her brave disclosures regarding grave regulatory and systemic failures within NHS Trusts, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and related corporate entities have been met with intensified intimidation, abuse, and unlawful corporate victimisation.
Section 1: Background and Whistleblower Status
Victoria Rixon stands as a sovereign living woman and whistleblower, protected under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA), and natural common law principles.
She has exposed unlawful corporate conversions—where living natural persons are mistakenly or maliciously converted into quasi-corporate personas without consent—alongside serious safeguarding failures, patient care deficiencies and staff bullying.
Since yesterday when I went on a wild film hunt, there are sufficient films plus 20 to 26 minute shorts to get us through the coming weekend and week. This today had mixed reactions, some saying that the 80s series was not a patch on the original and some praising various episodes such as this below:
(0627) Light appearing out there … morning all. (0635) The pink dawn has arrived out there … magnif. (0735)

… and he comes out of it looking pretty good.

8. At 4 a.m., we’re essentially getting two sources
… last night’s North America and today’s Antipodes. This is of the latter:

Etcetera.
7. Sydney Sweeney
Obviously, this below, at Lord Toby’s, was written by a male, just as item 6 was also posted by a male … neither of those males is averse to the female of the species, providing she’s not Woke left, globo nor psycho.
In my case though, I vastly prefer the lass below to SS, the slapper (imho) and thus, in this case, I’m with the feminists:

Camaraderie? Wot, like in the WNBA? That sort of camaraderie? Moving on … even that lass below … why the plunging neckline? Shirley there are other males like myself who would ask, about Sweeney: “Would you like to see your wife attired as, acting like Sweeney?”
And this daughter type below … why must she rely on a plunging neckline when it’s a quite different attraction with her? What I don’t like about SS is she’s playing to a faux argument. The opposite of a Woke left, globo or psycho is not a slapper by any means … it is an elegant, feminine lady of yesteryear’s fashions … and there’s an added element … aesthetics … and is not the presenter of the Ella piece in n7 precisely that … seeing things from an aesthetic perspective.
Viewed from that stance, I don’t even think SS is aethetically a beautiful woman. For that size and shape, her boulders are just too OTT … out of proportion. Personally, I’m not into “perfect” in a woman, vastly preferring more normal, maybe carrying a few extra lbs or not … just … normal, real, human. Loving?
Aesthetica, by the way … he was the one breaking the Lola story in Scotland and he was in contact with L’s mother. What were the aesthetics there? I’m thinking the family unit, sisterly concern, all of that?
We really must address, I’m thinking, tha notorious male double standard. I find it useful to pigeonhole an Ella below as a “daughter type”, which then makes it much easier to relate to such lasses, e.g. the rape victims, hence Restore. Our own daughters.
SS is in the Only Fans category to me. That would be, if not ok, then understandable … but SS is not being marketed that way … she’s being sold as a summum bonum for men. Men would not marry that, nor Sophie Cunningham … lost it at 12, goes off with a black? It’s shirley obvious what we (should) admire in a woman.
Or is it so obvious today? Maybe the tsunami of worldwide porn, coordinated by Sabbateans, has hooked all men worldwide? Couple that with the feminazi family law courts allowing divorcees to take their hubbies to the cleaners? What man wants that sort of hypergamy? That sort of body count in his lifelong partner?
That’s before the coordinated assault on testosterone for decades now. Sweeney plays to that whole fabian destructive agenda. A normal man, normal woman, happy to marry and procreate with their own kind … that does not advance The Agenda.

(0506) Morning all … dark out there. (0554)

a) UK. The RNLI has temporarily closed its Portsmouth station following anti-migrant protests in the city.
Volunteers for the service were branded “traitors” after bringing 120 migrants, who had been rescued from a single dinghy, ashore near Portsmouth Lifeboat Station.
[Actions have consequences.]
b) EU. Pedro Sánchez and the European left have suffered repeated humiliating defeats in the European Parliament over Ceuta, with MEPs endorsing the terms ‘invasion’ and ‘hybrid warfare’ for July’s mass border breach. The outcome also underlined an increasingly reliable EPP–ECR–PfE–ESN voting alignment on migration, already visible in June’s tougher EU Return Regulation.
c) France. More than six months after the municipal election, on Thursday, the public rapporteur recommended to the Orléans Administrative Court that the municipal election result in Montargis—a town in the Loiret department won by the National Rally in March—be annulled due to irregularities. Following the vote, RN candidate Côme Dunis had won by a margin of 59 votes in this town of 15,000 inhabitants, which had been governed by the political right since 2001.
Administrative courts generally follow the recommendations of public rapporteurs. The court will issue its ruling in the coming days.
[Lawfare, again.]
d) Italy. Meloni scraps road tax for one year due to high fuel prices
The exemption covers petrol, diesel and hybrid cars of up to 80 kW (109hp) and all motorbikes and mopeds.
e) UK. Tommy Robinson exposes a Jihadi spy working inside parliament.
4. Greenwald
I’ve seen this guy as a conservative till now, but criticising all sides when necessary.

Then I noticed the profile pic and so checked it out:

2. “Lawyering up”?


(0408)(0458)
Always explore who’s really saying it
Certainly for any pundit worth his salt but also for self-respecting readers, it’s not enough to just state something or to quote someone from our own confirmation bias unless we have back-material or links to it which establish who we are, what we are about.
One aspect of that is to create a “watch list” of “iffy sources” … ours here are both under Other in the Navbar and at NOWP in various places, also at UHC-WP. One not on that yet is Bannon and yet in the last few months his connection with Epstein has corroboration to it, if not final proof.
Why it matters
I should have thought it self-evident … not only does the admin/pundit stand or fall by “the receipts” but regulars are also “tarred” by his/her modus operandi. The admin needs to have at least “checked out” the source and if he/she misses something, always a chance if editing an extensive blog on news of the day, he needs to feel other contributors will point something out.
An example in my scrolling through X this morning was looking at, say, Diane Kruger, seemingly a typical MAGA/AF but there were questions … firstly, which one?

Having decided that, go to the profile:

Real Estate? Chicago? Uh huh. The profile itself tells much, inc how many of our own followers follow her. So I went to another one:

Manhattan? Numbers followed vs following? Email up front is interesting. FP? Free Press. Uh huh … checking that out, guess who is a major contributor there, from West Seattle? Amanda Knox … remember her? Would Lucy, being so young, be aware of all that? And her own story? A bit like Lara Logan’s to my mind. Lucy explains and will take out this post now …
“In three parts, I explain how I was brainwashed into becoming a biased climate reporter.
Step 1: Deconstruct your identity.
When I entered a newsroom at 25, this was the pervasive ideology: The world is divided into two groups—the oppressed and the oppressors.
If you are white, straight, privileged, or American, you are inherently an oppressor. Everything you grew up believing is wrong or evil. You cannot be trusted to see the world as it really is because you are inherently racist, biased, and part of the oppressor class.
I was young, excited to be there, and surrounded by people I thought were smarter and cooler than I was. So I absorbed their worldview and ceded my judgment to the group.
Once you are demoralized, feel guilty for being an oppressor, can no longer trust your own intuition, or your own interpretation of the facts, you will believe whatever the group tells you to believe.
Step 2: Atone for your sins.
Because you are an oppressor all you can do is atone for the sins of your birth. You can do that by repeating and advancing the group’s ideology. You never question it, because questioning the ideology is treated as proof that you are racist, selfish, or an oppressor.

Am watching. This week, being watchful in many fields.

13. ALG piece yesterday

12. Greece and Turkey

I have been down that way, even made it to Egypt with m’best gal, the mood towards Turks on Cyprus was not, shall we say, friendly. It’s not just the Mussies who insist on ladies covering up. My gal was not overly given to covering up, we went to go into Makarios’s chapel … no uncertain terms no to her. They found her some clothes.
Kissinger was Sabbatean controlled … nasty piece of work.
ddddd
There are chaps, guys … gals too but more usually guys … and they have a certain skills set and interesting backstory … they’ve done a lot. They’re experienced.
But they’re also irascible, do not like doing what they’re told … they’re fairly self-contained … and so one is careful to a point but not too far, otherwise it is simping and none of these are simps. As I mentioned to MMutR … only an idiot fights such people, rather one provides a pleasant haven afap and if each one is “his own man” or “her own woman”, I’m fine with it … it’s the readers who benefit, which is the prime directive, innit.
Way back, getting on for 60 years, there were some musical artists who were like that … they wanted things done their way. In the case of CCR and Steppenwolf, it eventually broke the bands up, band members would leave, they were almost pariahs … I for one am fine with pariahs. There’s a huge difference between being difficult and being s total a***h***, excuse my French. Imho, these two guys, Fogerty and John Kay … they were the goods.
That does not apply on this blog as there are upwards of a half dozen who could be called the goods, so it requires diplomacy which I’m not particularly good at. In music, I’m not crazy for all John Kay’s output … after the megahits Born to be Wild, Magic Carpet Ride and the Pusher, played constantly, reacted to constantly … I prefer back catalogue gems, in my eyes.
One of those, You’re Wall’s Too High, is below the interview and then I finish up with a CCR I love. So first the John Kay interview. Look at his bio, tough upbringing … so be careful with this man … still not in the R&R hall of fame … offended too many bigwigs.
Now to the song I chose out of the entire back catalogue. Why? Because critics called it repetitive, even dull. Not to me … it has my required elements, i c. raunchy groove, strong bassline etc. etc. It has grit.
You want repetitive? Try this:
