Phriday. The phive phellas of the phantasy of the phamous phive of phairford are now six.
a) UK. Andy Burnham’s announcement of a new National Centre for Information Defence warrants attention for reasons that go well beyond Russian bots and AI-generated deepfakes.
Burnham said Britain had suffered an “industrial-scale assault” on its “information environment” and tasked security chiefs with beginning work on a centre capable of detecting, attributing and disrupting hostile-state information attacks.
Britain’s information shield is starting to look remarkably European.
b) Dutch Intel warns modern cars can spy on secret talks.
The Dutch intelligence service has warned government and business officials that modern connected vehicles pose espionage risks and should not be used for confidential conversations.
c) Can you imagine Wes Streeting [UK Defence Secretary] saying this…
“We are no longer the woke department or the weak department… no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdoes, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors.”
d) Spanish King sets date for first visit to Ceuta and Melilla since the invasion.
Felipe VI and Queen Letizia will travel to the two Spanish cities on October 13 and 14, nearly 19 years after the last visit by a Spanish monarch.
e) France. One million elderly people almost never leave their homes—a figure set to rise in the coming years due to the ageing of the population, warns the association Petits Frères des Pauvres [Little Brothers of the Poor].
…a number set to rise as the population ages. “Some homes are becoming prisons,” says Yann Lasnier, the association’s executive director. “We all know of such cases among people we know,” he adds, calling on public authorities to address the issue.

This post builds on an article at Lord Toby’s site which you can read in full here, within the Unherdables system … or you could go over to Lord Toby’s. I received it via newsletter.
My half of this post really makes little sense unless you do view that Lord Toby article first to see what view the author took. So, here’s my comment:
There’s a standard response, short of calling someone a waycist, and it’s to say, here paraphrased by me, “Well I know someone from way back, lived around the corner, a shop actually, and he was a delightful chap. Yes, his first name was Mo but I never, as a customer, had any trouble.”
The second part of that … he’d rush to say I was putting words into his mouth, which is true … anything after Mo was more my comment on that argument. We do need to be accurate in this.
There was a meme some months back, which had a swimmer in a circular pool, saying, “Honestly, I’ve never had any trouble with sharks (plural) and it showed his one pet shark swimming with him. However, an overhead crane end was tipping a dozen new sharks into the pool at that exact moment.
I once had some Indian friends and went with a girl to Russia on a visit. Zero drama. I had a Jamaican mate in my workplace and he was fine but there was also a Sudanese and he was not. I’ve already mentioned that, whilst in Russia one summer, the govt brought in a hundred Somalian youths for a holiday … they were all expelled after two weeks to stop the rapes and race war.
My own living quarters, a house I’d been in … the next door tenant, a Brit from London … was the worst I’ve ever seen and heard … wild parties at all hours with gay violence, physical fights. There was another in the flat down the corridor who ended up in prison for drugs and women … he was a straight Brit. There’d been another on the other side to me who was belligerent … half the time he was ok, care home lad.
There were three others came in … Polish and two Romanians … ideal neighbours and life in that place was an idyll. I’m just stating what was in each case. It shirley comes down to behaviour, does it not? But behaviour, as the article above states, does appear more commonly in certain groups. Not going to name those groups as Plod might try to make something of it.
Also, I’m running it here at HQ, rather than at OoL, because I really must, as regulars know, control this specific discussion, specifically here, this morning. Strictly legally, as admin, I am responsible for my commenters. Regulars are good at euphemising, disguising when they wish to do so (hint, hint) … more occasionals are sometimes another story.
Plus we are on a list … I have evidence inside the site, which euphemistically they call algorithm. So, dear commenter, please be careful in your comment.

This also ties in with the rape gang inquiry here which would ordinarily be a whitewash if run by the State.

We now know the execution was botched, which brings up a new set of questions, yes?

Perfectly happy to eat that subheading should Rantzen, Harbag and and Hewitt be entirely innocent, proved beyond a doubt.
