11. AKH and the country house

”Even by Dickens’ time, the lure of a cosmopolitan life had created a sharp contrast with the staid life of managing a country estate with its onerous management, upkeep costs and predictable social routines.”

Tuesday [5 to 9]

(0822) Sun’s still out here, I’m watching the bleah clear. (0930)

 

9. Collective, selective blindness


Strangely, I do see Reform voters’ point to first secure these council seats and mayoralties, then to pressure Farage and Co, whilst meanwhile we’re just dirty rotten spoilsports to point out what Farage is up to …

… I do see it … many at ground level have invested so much of themselves to get this far and after all, Nige is such a sweet chap, loves a pint, loves a woman. Such babes in the wood as new Reform people … er, um … do not know the Farage history at UKIP, then selling out TBP, now doing it over again behind the charm. Except the cloven hoof appeared with Ben, Rupert, TR … now us.

Are we nazis to be against grooming gangs and illegals ferried in en masse, fighting age men, mind? If so, so be it.

All right, Higham, what’s your solution then? As with everything else, it all requires time … how long did it take for people to finally wake up to the deathjab? Maybe Nige will see his base gradually disappear, his chance of the PMship and gong … and then strategy would demand he actually attacks this double issue head on, freeing TR for a start.

For now though, LibLabConGreen are perfectly happy how it’s all going, local elections notwithstanding.

8. Quite to the point downunder

7. Alcatraz


6. Justin has, at 1040:6


Great minds obviously think alike … the sshot was ready to roll here as well.

As for the issue … it’s so far beyond human reason, as was Steinepisland, as was Belgium back then, that I do feel a French Revolution type thingy might be on its way.

Then again, that’s just little kids being savaged by the “elites”, innit, it’s not people’s own lives personally, so the “elites” seem safe enough.

5. Over at OoL, on the vaxx blame game

Tuesday [1 to 4]

(0540) Sun’s out already, punctuating the Gates cloud. (0636)

 

4. In the light of all the horrors in 1 to 3 below

… the material, not the gatherers and senders of course … we (western humanity) have a clear issue which was addressed by the young scot a year ago in a vlog I’ll repost now … interesting also that so many secular pundits are also saying similar things, speaking of “cultural Christianity” needing to make a comeback to survive.

My comment is that firstly, that alone does not get you into heaven but if the principles have underpinned the ethics of western societies for a long time, supported by most westerners, then those societies develop a resilience which they’ve all but lost now in 2025, poised to be overrun in a mass of bloodshed and destitution.

The young scot had given three predictions … I in turn took some sshots a year ago and have run them from time to time.

3. Toodles sends an item I knew zero about, plus one I’d rather not

a. The person I knew nothing whatever about:




JH: From what I can gather, and you can judge for yourself here, she’s a young American, of the Instagram and vlogger set, who does accents and in this one does Ginge of the Ginge and Whinge pair.

b. The one I’d rather not know about:

It’s Big Mike possibly letting the cat out of the bag.

War Room – two long ones with Stephen K. Bannon the guest…

Plus on X:

Rogan O’Handley (DC_Draino) asks White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt when the American people can expect the full Epstein files to be released and when arrests will begin. O’Handley: “Do you have any updates from the DOJ or the FBI when those files are expected to be released, and also when we might start seeing some arrests of the client list?” Leavitt: “I can assure you that the attorney general and her team at the Department of Justice are working on this diligently. For a specific timeline, I’d have to check in with them. And we can certainly do that for you, Rogan, in the effort of transparency.” “I don’t have a specific timeline on you for that, but I do know that they’re working on it over there.”

11. Vince Ebert on X

“Immer öfter werden in letzter Zeit Strafanzeigen gegen Leute gestellt, die irgendetwas auf den Sozialen Medien posten, was politisch nicht opportun ist. Dinge, die noch vor wenigen Jahren nicht mehr als ein Lächeln oder ein Achselzucken hervorgerufen hätten. Auch die ein oder anderen Verurteilungen gibt es schon. Und wisst ihr was? Es wirkt. Inzwischen denke ich bei fast jedem meiner Posts nach, ob ich das so schreiben kann. Ich zensiere mich quasi selbst. Geil oder? So weit sind wir gekommen im besten Deutschland aller Zeiten. Deswegen: lange mach“ ich das hier nicht mehr.”

I replied:

Bedenken Sie jedoch, Vince, dass, um all dies zu überwinden, zunächst genügend Menschen vorhanden sein müssen, um etwas zu ändern. Außerdem kennen sie uns bereits.

4. The ethical standards of MPs

Tory MP Esther McVey Thinks Net Zero is a “Dud” Having Spent Years Inflicting it On the British Public

Put that together with the Dog Whistle dead giveaway of Ms Lucy and there you have the entire political class in one. And to think they were respected, that MPs like Profumo would actually resign.

And here’s one former MP who hates a bigoted woman and loves raiding pension funds and selling off gold:


3. Feliz Sinko de Mayo at 1039 from Justin

Cinco de Mayo [1 and 2]

(0021) Welcome to a new week, a new Monday. (0220)

 

2. The British political divide

The last GE put the Labour vote, as a percentage of those eligible to vote, between 16.9 and around 25%. If we settled on 22%, it would not be far wrong, leaving 78% not feeling represented by Labour. After other Uniparty groups come out of that, it’s a guess how many voters feel Unrepresented … my guess is around the Brexit number of 52% but some put it closer to 60% of all eligible. I go with the 52%.

There’s a remarkable alignment on many, but not all issues, including rape gangs, the state of the streets, public safety and so on … sufficient to attract adherence to Reform “for now”. They were doing well, when suddenly Yusuf, Farage and Tice launched an all out attack on Ben Habib, then Rupert Lowe … a real own goal if ever there was.

I’d seen a figure of 40% of Reform supporters disgruntled over the appalling treatment of various supporters, even winning candidates but I’d lost the reference in the mass of postings yesterday, so that when some character called Rick Tusgrin took great exception to my comments:

“You made a false claim using spurious figures and supposition, and have been unable to back it up. Your point is thus far without merit. I’m giving you an opportunity to explain and expand.”

… that raised a few issues. One was “Infighting by gainsaying on a social media platform is counterproductive. He made his point, we made ours. End of.”. He was obviously hardwired, with no figures of his own (classic leftist strategy) bt all the same, it was worthwhile finding those posts again:


Something needs to be remembered here … whilst the egregious and highhanded Reform HQ puts out its own controlled figures which are meant to be taken at face value, with Farage unchallenged on them, blind faith in the Beloved Leader in other words, Teflon Nige, the two party split above, in turn, is not solely Reform voters … it includes all those appalled by the tyrannical triumvirate Yusuf-Farage-Tice, who can be from various political stances.

So what percentage of formerly pro-Reform-honcho people now feel unrepresented by any party leaders whatever as of today? It can only be guessed but I’d say 10 to 30% of previously full steam ahead Reform type people … the disgruntled, anti Uniparty in other words, angry about what’s happening to Britain. Calling it 15% for the sake of argument, that’s still quite a drop, before taking into account those disgruntled but still voting Reform “for now” as the only option in their eyes.

Why such a set against Farage and HQ? Well that’s easy … the unprincipled actions and attitude of Farage HQ against “their own”, including new Councillor Donna Rachel of Shropshire.


But what on earth is the issue here? Why such violent reaction in the first place from the tyrannical triumvirate? There are two … failure of Britain to address the grooming, plus the very question of illegals brought in and shacked up in four star accommodation, all expenses paid.

This is why I don’t completely run with a quite logical take on the whole thing by one of the main authors at our site, Unherdable Cats, our man Steve:

“Reform UK is a centre-right party, the Tories centre-left. The Labour Party are hard-left as are the Greens. I couldn’t care less about the Liberal Democrats – they long-ago abandoned their role as the party of the centre and wandered off to the Left. As it stands there is no party for the millions who want their homeland out of the hands of ideologues. Discuss.”

Well put … my point of departure though is that today, the difference between right and left, that central dividing line, is the twofold one of chasing down the grooming, plus chasing down the illegal mandarins, feted by the govt with taxpayer money. This has been the clear dividing line between Rupert and then the tyrannical Uniparty triumvirate of Farage-Yusuf-Tice-HQ.

Yes, Farage made pre-May 1st noises of now being interested in the two issues, just as have Labour and Tories. So there it is in a nutshell … wonderful Reform workers, helpers, supporters and candidates at grassroots level … a treacherous, tyrannical triumvirate at the top.

1. Cinco de Mayo

It stems from a Mexican war where they beat the French. The issue had earlier been the Spanish but Mexico had secured independence some years before this battle. Wiki:

“[CdeM] is an annual celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. Zaragoza died months after the battle from an illness, however, and a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla and then occupied Mexico City.

Following the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the United States began lending money and guns to the Mexican Liberals, pushing France and Mexican Conservatives to the edge of defeat. At the opening of the French chambers in January 1866, Napoleon III announced that he would withdraw French troops from Mexico.

In reply to a French request for American neutrality, the American secretary of state William H. Seward replied that French withdrawal from Mexico should be unconditional. More popular in the United States than in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture.”

There ya go.
