Must admit I’d vastly prefer to run here pics of ladies from our side of the politico-moral ledger, which does mean I have to wait patiently. Two of these you’ll most likely not know … one a lady posting to X who wanted anyone “far-right” in that tongue in cheek way to follow and she’d follow back … one Rachel B … another a lady whose name I did not write down and have now forgotten.
The other two are public figures … one looking a bit AI, truth be told. The other is a show host. Utterly gorgeous, all of them.
(0915) Morning all! Bleah out there, not sure of the temp. (1049)

5. Another roundup
There’s a video up at Jstack too. Also Eva Vlaar:
A man armed with 2 large knives just killed one person and injured another by the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam. The man was shouting “Allahu Akbar” and was “out to attack as many people as possible” according to eyewitnesses, but got overpowered by a sports instructor.
I mean … seriously … I no longer have the patience. This is more an exercise in whether I can embed pictures with urls on this platform, more than asking you to see the YTs through.
The opening one with Charlie Kirk has some young ignoramus at the microphone and I applaud what they’re trying to do, the guys … to my mind, it’s a young person’s game (under 40 perhaps) to have the patience to deal with pig-ignorance and brainwashing … I once could, not now.
The second is a young teacher describing schools now … we know it’s so, we’ve been through it … seizing school admins, employing the wrong type, the parenting anyway today, the teaching curriculum and texts … I’d not put up with it … then again, I was at fee-paying or special schools, so it was far easier.
The third is about an arch karen with the frizzy hair and no sense of proportion … again, not so much to see it through as an exercise in url embedding.
Something I saw (no url embedded):
To my mind, the central issue is not just opposing views or how strongly they’re hardwired into that sort of brain … they could say the same for us … but that their lot are there to prevail, by hook or by crook, any which way and if they perceive that they’re not prevailing in an open forum … then they use other methods to prevail. The view itself is nowhere near as important as the need to prevail any which way, legal or not.
Angela Rayner was gifted a five night News Year’s ‘personal holiday’ in Lord Alli’s luxury $2.5million New York penthouse overlooking Manhattan. According to her parliamentary declaration, she reckons the stay was worth £1,250 – or £250 a night.
Matt Gaetz:
The U.S. Army has wrongly told more than 10,000 soldiers that expressing pro-life views might make them TERRORISTS! Lieutenant General Patrick Matlock refuses to tell Congress whether anyone was fired, suspended, or demoted for screwing up this badly.
Jenkyns was not interested whilst in govt:
People across Europe and the UK are sick of the globalist agenda. They want to see a return to the nation state where we look after our own people.
Wyatt:
So when Lebron James told the world with excitement that there ain’t no party like a Diddy party, was there a reason he didn’t mention the child sex trafficking and all the rape and torture?
Globopsycho Tusk:
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk informs Poles that German soldiers are arriving in Poland to help with the flooding disaster: “If you see German soldiers, don’t panic. They are here to help”
3. AKH and Victoria Sponge
Darren Grimes:
… Starmer on the ferry to buy Victoria Sponge some goodies on Lord Alli’s credit card. On the way over, he explains to Lady Sponge …
Luv it. Must admit I’d missed the reference (slaps own face, hard) … so let’s run with this, from Nigella:
2. DAD, across at 814
a) The dissolution of the National Assembly caused by Emmanuel Macron and the early legislative elections that followed triggered a vast and costly plan of layoffs in the teams of the 133 deputies who were not re-elected.
b) Another Macron headache. A partial renewable curfew has been established in France’s overseas region of Martinique in the Caribbean amid protests about the high cost of living there.
c) Electric vehicles [EVs] are causing problems.
i) European car sales have continued to decline with the major markets in the European Union being hit hard …..
ii) Chinese hotels and property managers have begun to ban all electric vehicles – scooters, e-bikes, family cars or commercial vans – from their undercroft car parks.
1. The old “free speech” arguments again
It’s TDS again (blogrolls):
A free speech group has said it was kicked out of a Brighton pub after saying children should not be taught trans ideology in schools. The Telegraph has the story.
About 50 members of Free Speech Brighton were ordered to leave the Southern Belle, a hotel and pub in the city, during an evening of speeches on Tuesday, the group claimed.
The landlord is said to have disapproved of one of the speeches regarding the teaching of gender ideology in schools and asked security guards to eject the entire group.
The pub refused to comment on the incident and the security firm, Pagoda Security, did not respond when contacted by the Telegraph.
Free Speech Brighton, a sister group of the Free Speech Union, had pre-booked a back room of the pub for the meeting, and brought a microphone and speaker for members to make speeches. …
This is potentially explosive, esp. for us on the vaguely “free speech” side. On one side are those who say that “no matter how obnoxious I become, loud, smelly, you gotta lump it coz it’s my right to infringe on you” … libertine-ism, not libertarianism … then the classical liberal who says “maximum freedom possible, limited only by its harm to anyone close or within range”.
While the latter is the more sane option, it’s also the more notoriously difficult to define, codify, make laws for … esp. if one side is Woke-brainwashed and the other is us … and ne’er the twain shall meet halfway. But it’s also the only sane option of the two, steeped in reality. If someone’s being obnoxious, my options are to ask him to “tone it down a little”, “a little more quietly perhaps” or to vote with my feet.
But trapped in a space with that creature, the options change. Now, what about the normies in that pub? Obviously that day, private room, it was still an issue. Then there were the viewpoints. Seems to me they needed to do their homework a bit better, as did the landlord. On our nourishing unherdables sign out front, it’s clearly Woke-unfriendly … to my mind, that’s us … regressives can have their own Wokerati centre some other place.
That’s the sane way but the Wokerati aren’t sane … they’re fanatical about snuffing out our way of life, traditions, culture, history. There’s the rub.
(1456)(1758) Time simply gets away … three hours, just like that.
15. Toodles warns about this video
… and yet it’s one which, once it gets going, and you buy what it says about “mandating” US companies to go communist … really shows the necessity of being rid of the EU in its entirety. My entire blogging life, my aim was not so much Brexit, though I voted that way … no, it was to utterly destroy that giant toad, the EU … it gives zero to the people under its yoke.
The girl is born in 92, so still young, also she was in with Glenn Beck, Dan Crenshaw and I can see alarm bells and red flags at our place going off in all directions. She did leave and make her own way, but it’s a rambling way, stuffed full of both superimposed ads at any moment, plus her own … she might be speaking on topic at last, then suddenly starts selling something.
Most offputting and yet her heart seems good, plus she’s a southern conservative gal, Reformed church, whatever they believe. Reader … if you can get past all the impediments and concentrate on the guest once he’s allowed to lay it out … as Toodles warns me might be worth it, then you’ll see the pincer movement on the entire west which the EU and other creepy crawlies are attempting with their hardball, threatening way of operating.
They must be thrown off completely, the EU, the high ups executed henceforth.
14. Moosh and these apocalyptic days
13. Getting this slightest of feelings
… that the country does not like our Beloved Leader:
A Germany full of Germans is an economic powerhouse. An area of 357,022 square kilometers in the middle of Europe populated primarily by German-speaking Turks, Arabs, and Africans will be neither German nor an economic powerhouse. This is not rocket science.
OZEMPIC and Mounjaro are hailed as weight-loss wonder drugs, endorsed by celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne, Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson and actor Stephen Fry. With the exception of Allison Pearson, who is new to the drug, they no longer take it; Sharon Osbourne because she lost too much weight and Stephen Fry because he was vomiting five times a day.
Last week, model Kate Moss’s sister Lottie was rushed to hospital after overdosing on Ozempic that a friend bought under the counter. The 26-year-old was violently ill and suffered a seizure. She said: ‘I would rather die than use Ozempic again.’
Ms Pearson began taking it after a health scare. She was taken to hospital in an ambulance with chest pains and after a battery of blood tests doctors told her she was pre-diabetic, needed to lose weight and prescribed Mounjaro to help her lose two stone.
Ever thought of prescribing exercise and good diet?

9. What’s in a snapshot?
What do you see in the YT “thumbnail” used by Jago? Here’s what I see:
Jago’s YT below
Starting at our far-left, I see a girl striding hurriedly, pack on back, not watching where she’s going, intent on her phone, oblivious of what’s around her. Alone. Lightcoloured slacks which attract attention, though modest.
An alternative “take” (I like that short word) would be that she’s well aware and has spotted the danger some distance behind her, is moving quickly, phoning for a friend’s help.
Behind her is Mr. Oblivious in a different way, just meandering. Next behind, near Southwark entrance, are a couple from a sunny land but this side of them, outside, is the aforementioned danger … and he’s increased his pace.
Behind them is what seems a middle-aged man, standing, yet following the action. Another, with one foot on the road, is a cyclist.
If the camera was panning right to left, which two would you like to see it follow?

7. Earlyish roundup
a. Nice:
b. Shoolie today:
Someone gave me a really odd household tip the other day. Apparently, you can freeze leftover wine in an ice cube tray and use it in stews etc. What the heck is “leftover wine”??
c. Your answer is the last line, Rupert:
Government departments are very reluctant to give me a straight answer on how many nonsensical ‘diversity’ jobs are currently within their organisation… It’s not a difficult question, so why the secrecy? I would scrap every single one of these wasteful and poisonous roles.
d. Draino:
Boom – Trump is going on offense Announced he’s going to Springfield, OH to highlight the Haitian invasion And he’s going to Aurora, CO to highlight the Venezuelans gangs taking over.
JH: Mayor of Springfield asked him not to.
e. JH: I’d like to thank …
… my techie mate up the road for sorting out the gremlins in the works … site’s been grand for a few days … you can’t know the half of what we have here, reader … kinda fun.
6. Corrupt “leadership” of the Teamsters
Not sure how this from last night turned out … shall keep an eye open:
What must be understood is that everything Trump says has meaning. Everything he communicates has a purpose. When Trump appears to be drawing negative attention to himself, or doing what some think is putting his foot in his mouth, he is actually setting a trap or drawing attention to something or someone he wants the light shone on.
It’s time people who think they know better, that continue to want to give Trump advice on how to present himself, simply shut up. Trump knows exactly what he is doing. When will you finally figure this out? Every time he seems to have made a misstep, it doesn’t backfire on him, it explodes in the Deep State’s faces. How many times does this have to happen before it sinks into that brain of yours?
4. Someone calling himself The Knows (on Gab)
… puts a point of view which is maybe more widespread across the pond than we might think:
I think they would sooner kick off WW3 than lose the presidency. I don’t see Trump actually going after the “deep state”, but they seem to fear him getting a second term on the off chance he actually does go rogue.
Most of you know I don’t have faith in Trump to do the right thing seeing how he didn’t release all the JFK files, build the wall, lock up Hillary, or pardon Julian Assange when he had the opportunity.
With that being said, they are going to great lengths to keep him from becoming president again. From constant hit pieces in the media, non stop lawfare, an assassination attempt, and even forcing Biden out of the race.
Is this all political theater? I don’t know, maybe. But after seeing this headline and watching Putin say Ukraine is incapable of delivering long range weapons without NATO and American satellites, it seems WW3 is now closer than ever.
The Wall and all that … we know why the funding was not given. My feeling was he was still naive, DJT, in term one … terrible gatekeepers trying to hem him in whilst playing the “hail fellow well met” gambit.
3. Predictable
Satanic UN 124-14 (43) wants Israel to stop harming Hamas and Hezbollah. More interesting to me was:
Al Jazeera has the tally. The largest countries standing with Israel besides the U.S. were Czechia (formerly called the Czech Republic), Hungary, and Argentina.
2. DAD drop today
a) Is the EU pushing its own mass migration problem in our direction? It sure looks that way …..
b) The European Commission will recommend smoking bans in outdoor areas across Europe …
(JH: Joyless bstds)
c) Electric vehicles (EVs) are losing value at an “unsustainable” rate as a slowdown in consumer demand sends used car prices tumbling …..
On the first, obviously there were plenty of Derek Nimmo type pastors who could put things in a friendly way, if also fair and firm and this Mackay sounds a horror (see text) … in fact, if he was as portrayed in film and books as a joyless ideologue, then he was in effect working for the other side … I’ve met that bombastic type and got away asap.
Strangely, it relates to what Ms Wolf was going on about but she crossed a line in t’other direction … that all manner of Woke excess, as mentioned in the comment below her is ushered in, even in school, in the name of Tolerance … which always becomes tolerance of evil. For some reason, no one seems capable of a middle way, with moral boundaries … I mean we know what they are so why is it so difficult for those given to fanaticism?
As for Bernie … well you need to be careful, love, and not leave yourself open like that. Starmer is right on one point … afap strive for accuracy, which is the nourishing unherdables mantra.
Now … onto the things in 811, a quite lively debate if it could be called that. Look, we all have our specialities … IYE’s and to an extent mine are to not trust, note anomalies, go for the jugular … were we not doing that, we’d not be fulfillung our unwritten undertaking to the reader. And thus we’re perhaps not known for diplomacy.
Then we have the engine room of the site in DAD and Steve and each in his way is a vital component … we don’t eat each other. But all the same, it was worth bringing up the topics … there they sre ondite for snyone to read whatever any of us erote … and the reader concludes from all that for him or herself.
I’m going to change the word “iffy” for “be careful” for that page as it’s less judgemental up front … that’s after I put up the DAD drop summary above.
Plans to construct the world’s largest tidal power project, stretching across the River Mersey between Liverpool and Wirral, have taken a major step forward. Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram today announced a public consultation on the project will take place and the scheme has entered the formal planning process, as a scoping report has been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate.
A tidal barrage has been an ambition of Mayor Rotheram’s since his first election win in 2017. His plan is to create the huge piece of infrastructure in the River Mersey, stretching from Liverpool to Wirral, built in order to generate clean and reliable energy from the river for years to come.
