4. Aphorisms
When is an aphorism just a quote? Well, in mine eyes, when it’s that Lenin quote or the one on democracy which goes on for paragraphs.
When is a quote a meme? Well, in mine eyes, when it has an attached visual, e.g. the apartheid or Lincoln quote ones.
This post item is meant to be just some aphorisms but a few are a bit long. As you’d gather, I’ve saved quite a few over time … shame they’re not re-used. I did think of an auto-display but that militates against simplicity, plus I don’t wish to rewrite them into a box. Here are a few:

Saterdi [as I heard it prononced on BBC World Service during the night].
a) …”and Mother came too”
b) Once again, a corruption scandal looms over the European Parliament (EP), as investigators from the Belgian federal judicial police conducted 21 searches across the Brussels region, Flanders, Wallonia, and Portugal.
c) Marine Le Pen has slammed the possibility of being declared ineligible to run in France’s 2027 presidential election. “If I’m banned from standing, it will be profoundly undemocratic…..
d) France: “243 000 bébés exterminés in 2024, ce n’est pas suffisant” [23% of pregnancies].
…..
JH adds: That’s pathetic of Le Pen … typical Bondi woman weakness … I want to hear: we will take this action or that … not “it’s unfair”. Pathetic.

……
Dear Mr Yusuf, Integrity matters to us. Cliché it might be, but this letter has been deeply sad to write. We are the interim Branch Officers for Reform UK, Chester North and Neston / Ellesmere Port and Bromborough, and we are all resigning from our posts, in concert and with immediate effect. We can no longer represent Reform UK. We can no longer face our voters, your masters, Mr Yusuf, and sincerely defend your Party’s actions. This decision comes after careful thought and with resounding unity. …/2.
Over the past five months, we’ve grown local membership from 780 to 1,482, as it stands today. We joined this Party for its drive to change politics for good, to bring hope back to the nation, and to deliver common-sense policies. We poured our hearts into structures and plans to make a major impact in our constituencies, only to see that vision crumble. We are utterly devastated. Daily, we face members who trusted us for guidance, now as disgusted as we are by your actions, many emailing to cancel their memberships immediately. If you care why you’ve lost an entire set of Branch Officers, read on. …/3.
The recent debacle, entirely of your making, involving Rupert Lowe MP’s suspension on March 7, 2025, over unproven claims, followed by dementia smear rumours by March 9 (X, 20:54 GMT) and the utterly spurious, disgraceful weaponization of the legal system in reporting him to the police on March 6, a day after his Telegraph critique (March 5), for alleged threats from December 13, 2024, an 84-day delay that reeks of retaliation, was the catalyst for our joint resignation.
Worse, Richard Tice confirmed on GB News (March 9) that Lowe would not regain the whip even if the claims were proven false, exposing this as a premeditated purge, not a pursuit of justice. Played out disgracefully over the weekend, this act of self-harm toward the party leaves your grassroots Associations to defend, explain, and justify. Such arrogance, dishonesty, and fragile autocracy is unbecoming of you, Mr Yusuf. …/4.
Patriotic members across the UK placed their faith in Reform UK to differ from other parties, to usher in a new era of governance and rescue their country from terminal decline. We relied on you to steer Reform on a steady, honest, professional path, to restore democracy and right Britain’s course. We thought you were a consummate professional with integrity at his core, heart in the right place, and up to the task.
We were wrong. You and Nigel are not leading this Party where we believed it was headed. The dastardly treatment of colleagues acting in the nation’s interest and your inability to tolerate the diversity of thought vital to any thriving organisation reveal your severe shortcomings. It seems we’re just more of “that lot” you want nothing to do with (Tice, GB News, March 9). …/5.
There’s no difference between this Party and the rest, willing to compromise anything for power, power for power’s sake, not the good of the people. Knowing this, how can we canvass voters or ask supporters to donate £25 a year for membership with a clear conscience? We can no longer reconcile this Party’s actions with the honest hope we pledged to deliver, a burden our integrity cannot carry.
Even more critically (still reading, Mr Yusuf?), you’ve left Branch Associations to fend for themselves, with no professional tools beyond limited member database access for chairs alone, which we couldn’t share with other officers, no centralised plan, no policy updates from HQ, no reliable way to relay members’ views upward, and no banking until recently.
Worse, all chairs and officers across every branch remain interim, appointed by you, not elected by members, designed to ensure dissenters like us, or Stafford, disbanded this week (March 10-11) and replaced with compliant voices, can be swiftly purged at your whim. You’ve expected us to build your grassroots from scratch with zero support, a task we can no longer stomach when challenging your methods risks our own erasure. …/6.
Most damningly, Mr Yusuf, the summer 2024 creation of ‘Reform 2025,’ where you and Nigel hold controlling interests, locks in this autocracy, shattering any illusion of a democratic Party. Reform UK isn’t like other main UK parties, it’s your personal fiefdom. Members can’t force leadership or policy shifts through votes, a right denied us while we toil as unelected placeholders. You promised the Electoral Commission and lawyers were working on full democratisation “very soon.”
That hasn’t happened as expected; Reform 2025 holds all the cards, doesn’t it? We in Chester North and Neston / Ellesmere Port and Bromborough can no longer defend your Party’s actions toward talented dissenters, your ad-hoc policymaking, your unprofessionalism, the utter lack of preparation for government in 2029 or sooner, and above all, the absence of democratic accountability. We wish well to members who can still trust you. We gave this our best, and we’re saddened to resign together today. …/7.
To conclude our duties in utmost good faith and professionalism: attached is a full financial report from Peter, our Treasurer; all petty cash has been paid into Peter’s account and transferred to the Reform Branch Bank Account through the donations facility; and the Reform credit card and paper-based information have been collected and centralised by myself, Chris Littlewood.
You can arrange collection of these materials, or I can shred them using a 2mm cross-cut shredder for GDPR compliance and provide photographic evidence—please let me know your preference. Our integrity matters to us. Yours in sorrow, Chris Littlewood, Chair Bianca Leaver, Deputy Chair Jacky, Secretary Peter Leaver, Treasurer Saffron, Campaign Manager …/END.
Another collision at sea. Easy to see a pattern forming although this one does seem to be an accident resulting from a faulty rudder.

“Swatting” incidents in the USA.
FBI Director Kash Patel
I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.
This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated.
We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these crimes.
More updates to come.

My wife and I were swatted tonight.
We are totally safe.
Thank you to everyone who checked in.
We are going to do whatever is necessary to find out who is behind these coordinated attacks and hold them accountable to the fullest extent.
What started with the Blair creature and New Labour was a secret plan to import future voters from the Third World. Good little globalist that he is Blair spread the idea throughout the West, including the United States..
Musk says in the Rogan interview that it was entitlent fraud and a racket … I looked through comments and they were mainly anti Musk, saying he had so much money, is illegal etc. … it’s certainly the stopped conduit of crim money to illegals which has upset their game … the demonrats had it rigged to never be out of power again.
15. Apart from agreeing with her way of political thinking
… as I also do with Witchend, I noticed something with all three of us, which ties in with my earlier comments today about being in it for “what actually IS in reality”, rather than joining this blind loyalty camp or that.
Now that’s using her kidneys, as does Witchend. Result is that if you look at our “followers”, it’s vaguely the same, but if you look at similar but non-polit, small-middle pundits in Brit terms, and they post something, they can have around a few hundred looking at their Xpost … but in Christine’s case, if she fails to worship Donny or Nige, she can have around 11 or 12 views only, from a few thou readers. I don’t mean 11 or 12 likes … that’s a different matter … this means that, for example, X is telling me I have three thou impressions … yeah? Then why less than a dozen impressions on an anti Nige post? The numbers don’t add up.
The obvious conclusion is that something is holding them down, not just disinterest. Three new people followed since yesterday … uh huh … so where did they come from if only a dozen looked at the post, total? Oh, and X itself, at the top of the page, is pushing hard for me to pay:
That’s what this is really about @£28 or thereabouts. Look back at Christine above … no blue tick, unverified, not under control. Witchend though is verified but views are around fifty per post.
14. You’ve heard of being a slave to love
… well, I’m a slave to news and issues … when I wake up in the middle of the night, I’ve no idea which theme for the day will emerge …
… as it turns out today, it’s Wimmin, plus those pundits and AGs who are Slaves to Love … take Isabelle Oakshott for example. As a Slave to Richard Tice in a way, she scarpered off to the middle-east to live and when the Rupert issue broke, she and Tice were both smirking on camera for the benefit of their cash cow Yusuf … it went down very badly with Reform members.
Now that it’s dawned on Dicky Tice it was not so good … thus he put Isabel straight, we get this:
Precisely … bit of a political airhead … well both of them really. Now, with Pammy, we can either think it through or else we can refuse to, out of blind loyalty to blonde honey Pammy. If we do choose to think it through, it’s clear that there’s a close connection between the two:
… she is no MAGA, as her dismissal of MAGArites on TV following Bindergate showed … her loyalty is to a centrist DJT, personally and that’s why she’s in place instead of Matt Gaetz … far easier to give orders to. Loves Red Flag laws etc. I’m not sure DJT the pollie is too crazy for MAGA either now he’s ensconced …
If you glance at the opening item here today, you’ll see things not altogether complimentary to Pam Bondi and by extension, to the Donald hisself. That can affect “our” people a number of ways.
Most of us like to be “onboard” with a group, with a movement, a project to get something done, wanting to get the job done and I’m certainly of that mind, e.g. with MAGA, with whatever Reform becomes … there’s no backsliding in that.
So what’s with this criticism of “our own”? It’s a bit disconcerting for people who are essentially loyalists, including at our site here … it undercuts momentum. I’m well aware that my criticism of Pam Bondi does not sit well with some chaps, also a picture of Natalie later … her own shot by the way … together with some clearly flattering shots of another gal. (It’s ladies at lunchtime day by the way.)
Another at this site giving “qualified support” for this and that is IYE … but he also delves and looks at the other side of the coin:
(Plays right into the dark maga agenda, juss sayin’]
Now we do have the horns of a dilemma here. Do I value loyalists? Hell yeah … they’re our lifeblood. But we also need to look at the counter-side, going down rabbit holes for the dirt … if we’re looking for the real “what is”, the “full story”.
But I’d agree it’s disconcerting … disconcerting, I’m afraid, is our stock in trade here. Compare these:
We can go with Mike type stances, and I’m inclined that way … or we can go with Mila type stances … give Pam all the rope she needs, forever, have endless faith in DJT … and then his term ends with nothing much done. Where exactly is that hill to die on?
