Right, before we can get into the evening politics, we need to look at the TV and film situation. This one from IYE works with fair picture resolution, sound is all right.
Issue with pete’s was multifold. It put me through hoops, wanted me signed up, tried to trick us, then when it did appear, the picture and sound were not the best … don’t take my word for it … try it.
(1133) Doing the weekend cooking, various chores. Cunning plan is to run Hyacinth again, then leave the url somewhere accessible. Shall check out filums later, see what gives today. There’s also pete around 1400 possibly, with William.
There’ll be two youtubes by a new lady who was pretty impressive on today’s young malaise, had an interesting, more middling take. That will be over at UHC-WP, as I suspect it might be longish. (1150)

6. Now and Next and the Starmer/Farage standoff
Rolf is an old friend of mine and he’s assuming HERE:
“Has the Labour Government targeted Nigel Farage for a rogue assassination attempt?”
… that:
a. Farage is a goody, “proved” by Starmer taking a set against him and:
b. That all this assassinating going on is to stop dissenters/take out wrongthinkers.
There’s a different type of thinking though … Farage is not a goody at all but part of the Uniparty theatre, designed to get one of their own into power as their own “man of the people, swept to power” just as with Johnson, just as with Starmer, ostensibly, just as with Biden … and all the bunnies facilitating it, as with Carney, are duped.
I can like grassroots Reform people very much … good people trying to do right … but I as sure as hell do not buy Johnson, Starmer, Carney, Micron, Farage, any more than I buy Mandelson, Blair, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, this new “Archbish” or the antiPope blessing a block of ice.

… with Grifty. I’m 4m 44s only into the video and there’s a standoff between Kash Patel and the letter agencies versus us (that is, the antiWoke, antiThem online pundits … that is, the people of the land(s) interested). This is very much an OoL type discussion as well, so shall now continue this there.

a) The proposed new French government are to debate End of Life Bill before the Budget to fund it. Macron is obsessed with death….
b) Religion and pro-life advocacy are both under sustained attack by many western governments and politicians.
c) Ireland. Maria Steen, [Mother of five and independent candidate] a lawyer who publicly defended the Church’s teachings during referendum debates on abortion, same-sex marriage, and the definition of the family, failed to secure sufficient endorsement to run in the presidential election.
d) The bodies of the slain are not even cold, and yet the pro-Palestine brigade are on the streets of Britain, celebrating their deaths.

Creating problems which can never be solved
Lara Logan, to my mind, has come a long way since the sexual assault on her in Cairo all those years ago as part of a leftwing “news” network.
If this is used as the core, the starting point for dismantling the dismantlers, then there are distinct possibilities. More in a subsequent post.
(1719) Evening all … short snooze earlier.

… to see what he had to say about the antiArchbish, the demonic one … nothing yet. However, much on the Manchester synagogue … it and what you say will suffice, I’ll not cover the topic myself, save to rue the killing.
A review:
“I was pleasantly surprised to see this film; I’m a Priestly fan and this is one of his lesser-known novels. For such a sprawling story with so many interweaving elements, and considering that there is no central character in the cinematic sense, it’s a good adaptation, and several good long chunks of dialogue manage to make their way straight from the pages of the book to the screen.
Alastair Sim is excellent as the Professor, fleshing out the character beautifully and giving his wise speeches wonderful depth and humour. Edward Rigby is exactly as I imagined Timmy Tiverton, though without his terribly sad and pathetic back-story, provided at some length in the novel, he is less of a pivotal character and more of a commentator.
As in the book, it is Sir George Denberry-Baxter who steals the thing, a gift of a role and appreciated as such by the great Fred Emney. He’s just what we want our aged aristocrats to be: drunken, anarchic, artistic, irascible, eccentric and barmy. The central character really is the cause: fighting against corporations and the general apathy of a people controlled by big business and passive entertainment.
If only we had films like this now, urging people to get up and get involved, gather in our local town halls and make our own entertainment, using their own talents and brains and energies.”
(1251) Afternoon all … just back from house duties out there, it’s drizzling. (1301)
