2. DAD at 1171
a) “Sébastien Lecornu formed a government with defectors from the right and civil society figures, with the goal of submitting a draft budget within the allotted time.
Above all, France still does not have a budget for 2026, even though time is running out: according to the Constitution, Parliament must have at least 70 days to examine a draft budget before December 31.
b) That did not take long…
“We have tabled the motion of censure that will bring down the #Lecornu2 Government!
……
JH: Highly abridged version above of all the shenanigans in France. Once the rush of incoming eases, I’ll get down to that DAD history of current France … 1171, readers.
1. How confirmation bias can invalidate an argument
This is a case, imho, of “unproven”. The blurb, at Wall Street Apes, said: “Another California resident CONFIRMS, if you vote “No” on Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50 Redistricting Plan by their mail in ballots your “No” vote will show through the envelope Democrats can then easily identify them and throw them away “Look at that, they can tell exactly who voted no” The redistricting is gonna be RIGGED” and there’s a video below that, from which these are two sshots:

Between the two, the lady asks him to turn the sheet around and he does, quickly turning the envelope away with the second and the clip ends. There is not the same front on scrutiny of the first, just him saying, “There ya go,” and quickly moving the envelope away.
So sorry, there we do NOT go, not on that test. There’s certainly a double circle gap going on, meaning the ballots might be capable of being read by anyone … that’s so … but his bias in handling the two scenarios, again imho, invalidates the argument and hands Newsom supporters ammunition.
Please, if you can access X, click on the text at the top to get to comments and look at them. The lady’s obviously not set up for all this … she’s a baker, not a web surfer … so many people want her wares.
Then we get to the other issue … the utter beech who was doing this … she needs to be ruined in this activity.
After that, this stoopid word “influencer” itself needs trashing.
There are ways to get product out … I’m thinking of Dean’s shortbreads in Scotland … I’ve bought from them … good delivery service too. Something like that … one of her online-savvy girls perhaps?
17. Andy
The downward curve, or descent, of the CofE started back in the 1979s. The modern translations of the New Testament, the new kumbaya type of songs, guitars and tambourines replacing massive pipe organs. All of that was enough for me. The Church is unrecognisable now.
I’m not being entirely honest, I was a late teenager then and wanted space to do teenager things. Not to be overdramatic, when seeing the devil’s works I eventually found my faith again.
16. Taxpayer funded terrorists
15. Were I not already non-denominational Christian
… that is “biblical Christian” instead … this item would put me off religion:
14. I visit three people on Gab … this is one of em
Two birds with one stone. Three actually. Firstly, saved by IYE again. Secondly, MMutR loves sci-fi, was asking about it … in fact, I mentioned this film and he liked. Thirdly, putting up the film gives me breathing space to find some jazz for 1515, last politpost following that.
First the cunning plan … most don’t need these over explanations … but as some do need them to place my movements, sort of signalling it is … that’s why it’s here. First up for this slot today was Black Belt Barrister (too political for a feature), one from Gab from Stonewall Jackson (possibly at Jstack soon), one from a strange girl (on Romulus and Remus), Pod People from IYE (thumbnail made and ready), one from Andy (in the main posts), some Baroque for DAD, some jazz needs finding for later … and this.
Why all these ladies? I find them soothing, nice as hosts … whereas BBB is better for hardhitting items, politically. Anyway:
5. Sun 6 will be about past colleagues and friends
… not a list, just in general.
4. Tertiary institutions are almost worthless now
… as for the supposed bits of paper … don’t make me laugh.
“This is what higher education has turned into — taxpayers funding fringe ideology disguised as ‘research.’ These aren’t PhDs; they’re political statements soaking up public money while serious fields struggle for funding. Academia has become a playground for activism, not a pursuit of knowledge.”
3. Good girl!
All ladies should have their immediate counterattack plans in place … plus something hard in the handbags.
a. France and DAD … I know it’s hypocritical to rail against clickbait and I singularly refuse to take it when I suspect the blogger is trying it on … then with DAD and Steve, I do just that to you because to ustd France this day for example, it’s necessary to see it in situ, that is at NOWP and at the end of those links, not in my abridged summary here.
b. Then we get to this tavern being a constant haven and not just this one either … my most consistently visited are AKH and Roobee. I’ve noticed Longrider’s kept up the posting, Julia, Vox … you have your go-tos … we need everyone posting, not necessarily proliferating, maybe UHC is a bit OTT … it’s some sort of constancy in the swirling surge of society down to the sewer which makes us baulk and say no way.
c. Then I think of the nomenclature … for example this place being called nourishing unherdables, for want of thinking up a different name. The notion of the lighthouse on the promontory works as an idea, some sort of beacon, with many beacons up and down the country, each with taverns, outhouses, stables, chapels. What about the whole estate, property though, inc. up river? Riberboat, huts etc.?
Yep … that seems to work but what to call the whole place? Estate? Property? Site? Sites? It does sprawl a bit, does it not? Is it presumptuous to call this one NW Haven for Unherdables, “the haven” for short? Imho, it works when seen as one of various havens up and down the country, plus over in the southern USA. That works, methinks.
Way back in the days of Python, on one elongated stay in Oz, we had the idea of a various havens dotted across the city … we called them Brucehavens … it did work, but by phone. We’d phone and say, “Morning Bruce.” We were all Bruce. Someone had to say, “Mind if we call you Bruce to keep it clear?”
As you’d all be aware, that sort of insanity kept us all sane. The other day, some chap from Rutland tweeted and asked what we thought of Rutland. I commented, “Uber alles?” He latched on immediately. New mutual follower.
This haven was at its highest point in some ways (NO I mean) during the Wallace and Grommit days of Nick Park. We had a reader page … guestposters it was called, plus the notion of Wesleydale on the moon was large. The later Bloghounds became way too serious for my liking.
d. To finish up … just what point am I trying to make? No idea. Let’s invent one … maybe that culture is far more than geography and language, it’s also shared something-or-other. Probably. And when some barbarians crash it, we savagely turn on them like the good people of Krikkit. “Ooze ee, Bruce? Eeve arf a brick at im!”

France. Lecornu tries to form a government. The right and left both say that they will not support him. One of the centre parties say that they will support him with a budget, but no more.
a) In bypassing Marine Le Pen’s surging National Rally (RN) and Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s oppostion La France Insoumise (LFI), Macron has effectively shut out millions of French voters from the decision-making process.
b) In a post on X, Bardella accused President Emmanuel Macron of being “more isolated and disconnected than ever at the Élysée” ….
c) ‘Les Republicians’ party offer only support for the budget….
d) President Emmanuel Macron will travel to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday, October 13, 2025, to demonstrate his “support for ….
… just why do they feel so threatened by a 2000 year old “dead” faith?

11. Has Trump learnt nothing?
This is disturbing on so many levels. Trump just announced he got his COVID booster. As a paramedic who’s watched people die from these shots, who’s tried to speak out while being silenced, I can hardly describe what this feels like. It’s not “public health.” It’s a slow, organized poisoning. To see it celebrated makes me sick to my soul. So, for all out there that follow Trump like he’s the be all end all. You can either see this as pharma attempting to harm him. Or, you can see this as him not caring how many people we’ve seen destroyed by this poison. Still praying for Trump. Either he’s an enemy of the people, or a victim of an enemy. Still deserves prayer. God bless
Simon Templar meets a young American woman named Sue Inverest while on vacation in Italy. During their tour of the coliseum, Templar is knocked out and Sue is kidnapped. Templar learns that Sue is the daughter of an American Governor (Indiana, I think). The head kidnapper has a brother on death row in Governor Inverest’s state. He wants his brother’s sentence commuted in exchange for Sue’s life. Being The Saint, Templar intercedes to help secure Sue’s release.
I’m going to have to disagree with the only other review (as of 3/29/17) on IMDb for The Latin Touch. I really enjoyed this episode. The tension in the episode came through for me. This is television, so you just know everything will be alright in the end, but the tension was still there. I could feel the governor’s pain as he struggled with what to do – keep a killer locked-up or save his daughter. And, the trick Templar plays on the baddie was a pretty sweet scene.
I suppose the fact that there was someone working for the mob from the inside was a given, it was still fun to watch events unfold. And, once again, I’m impressed with the acting. After just two episodes, Roger Moore continues to be something of a revelation to me. In the supporting cast, Alexander Knox, as usual, gives a good performance. And Warren Mitchell is an out-and-out scene stealer. His cabbie, Marco Di Cesari, is a hoot.
