a) This news has sent shockwaves through Catholic circles attached to Church tradition: documents reveal that the Vatican deliberately lied in order to implement a reform drastically restricting access to the traditional Mass and thus stigmatising thousands of faithful around the world.
b) France. In the first five months of the year, 322 anti-Christian acts were recorded, compared to 284 in 2024 over the same period last year, the ministry announced on Thursday.
c) With some 640 bikes disappearing from its radars each week, Agemob, the public organization that manages Vélib’ shared bikes in the Paris region, is “warning” that the level of vandalism is “three times higher” than normal.
d) There will be more climate bollocks from the BBC. The BBC Complaints Director Colin Tregear has enrolled on the green grooming course run as a six-month sabbatical by the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN).
e) MP Zarah Sultana who was ousted from Labour announces she is starting new political party with Jeremy Corbyn.
JH: DAD got in before me with the scoop. ☺️
I’d encourage all Labour MPs to resign and form far left commie factions … the more the merrier.

JH: Generally, the items not pointed to above but appearing at 1095 include those we’ve already had or which have now been quickly overtaken by subsequent events or were opinion pieces … these are just signposts above.
Steve’s Charlie Kirk quote
One of the publishing firms over in Germany is Bertelsmann, who are pure illumined. Years ago, in the time of the old blog N.O., I ran a piece by blogger Prodicus on the filth sent to every state medical clinic in brochure form, saying it was not normal for parents not to sexually molest their toddler.
Obviously it did not say “molest” but we showed a sshot and it certainly urged parents to pleasure the child … no more need be said by us. By an amazing coincidence, they were connected with a family called Solvay who were very much connected to the child incidents detailed in my post on The Missing Children. That blog, OoL, not long after disappeared, I’m not claiming solely due to that post.
That in turn was connected to a trial in Belgium on child trafficking, involving Euro royal houses. Also connected was Etienne Davignon who was asked why they were so effective … he replied because they were good talent spotters.

Here was their Young Global Leaders “community”:
There were obvious names connected … Clinton, Mandela … but also not so well known, e.g. Kemi Badenough and Yaccarino at X. And the obvious question … just who is Mr. Big behind it all?
Oh, and two musicians involved were Yo Yo Ma and Yehudi Menuhin.

A counterview … while this may have been technically how it started, it was still “arranged” and Pammy had the power to stop it once she was in position … if DJT said yes of course.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma,_Lady_Hamilton
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Hamilton_Woman
“If nothing else, ‘That Hamilton Woman’ proved two things: Vivien Leigh is just as beautiful in black and white as she is in the glorious technicolor of ‘GWTW’; and when it comes to the cinema, her acting technique on screen is every bit as expert as Laurence Olivier’s. (In fact, Olivier himself admitted this when he saw a screening of her Scarlett O’Hara performance.)
At any rate, my main interest in seeing this film was that I learned it was Winston Churchill’s favorite movie during World War II, dealing as it does with the British admiralty and the threat of war and domination. As Lady Hamilton, Vivien Leigh narrates the story and since it is told from her viewpoint, she manages to dominate with her beauty and acting prowess. How she rises from abject poverty to become Lord Nelson’s mistress makes up the bulk of the story–which sometimes seems a bit unbelievable. However, since both stars were at the time married to others, one can easily see that these roles suited both of them to perfection. Surely, if anyone could identify with these characters, they could!
Slow moving in spots, handsomely photographed in black and white, it is interesting to note how very British Leigh actually was when not assuming a more American way of talking (as in ‘GWTW’) — proof indeed that she was a good actress. Of all of her films after “Gone with the Wind”, I prefer her in ‘Waterloo Bridge’ (with Robert Taylor). Following that, I would choose this one.
Some of the ships are obvious models–but other than that, the production is a handsome one. Worth seeing for the two stars alone.”

Isilme and that time of year again (part one of two)
It’s that time of year again. Our strawberries have not been that prolific, but furnished us with strawberries to have with cream the other day. The remaining few will likely go into a trifle. We had a few raspberries and yoghurt last week too.
Then the blackcurrants started to ripen. Well, they were well-ripened by the time I got around to picking any. The birds were certainly upset. The jackdaws were doing low fly-bys and squawking. This set the sparrows off.
The sparrows were sitting on the guttering angrily chirping at me. Then one, a teenager no doubt, decided to risk it and flew into the bay tree. Some of the blackcurrant branches poke up through the bay tree.
Teen sparrow was chirping as if to say, “I’m going to show her. I’ll take some of the berries. I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it” The others were chorusing, “No, come back, don’t risk it. Don’t risk it!” You could hear the urgency in their chirps.
I walked round the tree (the long way, just to sneak up) and tried to see Teen sparrow but the others obviously alerted him and he flew off before I got to see him. And then there was complete silence.
(0557) Sun is coming up over there, so maybe a fine day … always that poisoned mist and yet the sky wants to go all cumulus and blue. Low wind, high pollen, medium uv, low pollution, top of 19C.

27. The post item I don’t know how to write
I should write something about our tavern being welcoming … meant to be so, we’d never drive a new patron away but it might sound patron…izing … so I’ll say nothing.
However, I did see something about the infighting Uniparty v Reform v Restore v Advance v UKIP v Homeland and someone tweeted: “Why must the Right, whenever someone tries to advance our cause … always descend to infighting like rats in a sack?”
Thought that an interesting observation.
