2. Penseivat
Whatever could this mean?
”As an aside to my previous suggestion, my familiy’s regular stays at Premier Inns has now come to an end, and I have messaged them so. I wonder how many other potential customers will do the same?”
I’m assuming you know that they’ve (P Inns) now bought into the housing illegals racket as well.
1. Redacted (yes, you read that right)
a. History of Sake … that is the drink, not the author Munro.
b. Hungary … “It’s now ILLEGAL in Hungary to help asylum seekers. NGOs and individuals face CRIMINAL CHARGES for giving food, legal advice, or shelter. Hungary has REJECTED EU migrant quotas — and told Brussels to get lost. This is WAR on globalist migration schemes. Orbán’s message is clear: NO to Soros. NO to EU overreach. YES to national sovereignty. WHAT THIS MEANS: The EU is losing control. Hungary just set the standard for resisting forced migration. Other nations may follow — will yours? Should the U.S. pass a “Stop Soros” law? Is it time to criminalize globalist-funded migrant trafficking?”
c. US nuclear in UK.
d. The Baron. It seems Gates of V went down for some time and his hosting service put the hard word to move to their shiny new VPN etc. We at HQ host ourselves, a novel concept we quite like.
……
JH: That was rather good, Redacted sir.
Thursday [16 till close of play]
(1659) Evening all.
20. Fourteen minutes ago (it’s 1830 now)
DOJ is currently meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell and her attorneys right now.
19. And so it goes on
18. This seems a lefty pundit to me
… but nevertheless, if this woman is in place … why? And my response is Wiles.
17. Liverpool Echo, of all sources
“Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71, according to US reports.

Thur Mat
This review was positive, others were 3/10, 4/10:
“After two business partners take out double indemnity life insurance policies on each other, one of them dies in a questionable “accident.” Ace insurance investigator Richard Denning, posing as a real estate agent, comes to town to find the truth. This 1951 programmer has all the good qualities of a Republic picture– first rate supporting cast (Reed Hadley, Hillary Brooke, Roy Barcroft), exciting pacing and editing, an efficient and fast-moving script. Richard Denning (best known to younger audiences for his sci-fi films and for his appearances on HAWAII FIVE-0)has just the right combination of sauveness and toughness needed for this type of role. There are enough plot twists and mounting danger to keep everything moving at a fast pace, and overall the film is recommended to fans of 40s/50s B crime films.”
Thursday [11 to 15]
Isilme part two
Also near the raspberries was an empty tub waiting to receive pretty flowers. Well, it had soil in it. Not terribly brilliant soil, but a poppy took a liking to it and was looking very delicate in the sunshine. And talking of poppies, I was walking to a friend’s house and came across a ‘drain poppy’!!
The house martins have babies again, and what a racket they make in the mornings! I’m not sure if this is the second or third lot they’ve had this year. Our next door neighbour says there’s a swift nesting somewhere nearby as she’s seen it quite often. I hadn’t noticed! They all fly so fast though. I can’t keep track of them. Mr and Mrs blackbird picked the last of the blackcurrants but I let them. I have six jars of blackcurrant jam, so that’ll do us until next year.
Clearing the craft room is still ongoing, and I came across a daily planner. I don’t know what this modern thing is where they put capital letters at odd places throughout the word, but it’s very silly. This daily planner was covered with the word ‘notes’ and had done this odd capital letter thing. Sadly, rather than the word ‘notes’, all I can see is ‘snot’ all along the bottom of the page. It’s terribly off-putting and is probably why it’s been festering in the craft room unused! Needless to say, I didn’t notice it until after I’d bought it. (Sorry about the dark photo – don’t know what went wrong there).
Thursday [6 to 10]
(0933)(0956)
10. South Africa
9. Govt control of your bank a/cs
Associated with this are the new Woke designs of bank notes, rendering any currency you do hold in notes no longer legal tender, unless you deposit it in your now govt monitored a/c, explaining how you had that cash to deposit.
At the same time, two days ago, I was asked to do something … in all likelihood innocently but even so … it would have compromised my bank a/c in the light of UK developments.
I’d say minimise any banking activity for security reasons.
8. More on the criminal Obama
7. Meanwhile, in RFK Jnr land
Flick left, the car crasher right 👇🏻
Total and utter crims, well out of order … crimes against humanity.

1. Housekeeping
Readers will notice, sooner or later, that the UHCWP sidebar has been revamped again, for ease of admin (Mr. Bureaucracy Jimbo).
Shorts
The cunning plan with the shorts is as in the blurb in 1 to 5 over there:
“These, as the sidebar heading and post heading suggest, are readers’ short recollected comments from any of the sites HQ, NOWP, Jstack or here. The first twenty have been copied from comments threads, they’re by no means comprehensive, they’re in no particular order … yet.”
Further cunning fwd thinking is to maybe open those to comments (they’re currently closed). Shall see.
Longs
HQ is really not for long, discursive rambles or even rants … it’s possibly not a safe place for long personal stories … which incidentally are most welcome … HQ is more for hard hit (meaning we get hit, often) polit-items of the moment, interspersed with various mini features, plus films and music of course.
It’s a distribution centre in a way, of links, signposting, it’s a working site pointing outwards to things going on. It’s also the one where things can (rarely, hopefully) be lost … there’s a touch of the ephemeral to it, though it does pack some power. It deals in short pieces, not discursive.
