(0645) Morning all, not much to report, except that the storm is still going … quite weird for Britain. Time for some brek at this place. (0831)
8. The situation this Sunday morning
Going to run these five screenshots at both OoL and Unherdables as they seem to encapsulate the situations.
Reform




There’s no hard and fast truth on why different players are acting seemingly strangely … there’s somewhat informed opinion … and opinion being at various stages of uninformed, depending on sources and how far you’ve delved.
My feeling is that Nigel is trying to do the World Statesman thing a la DJT, allowing himself some good ole Reform (and people of Britain) rhetoric, whilst positioning himself as that statesman, hobnobbing with the high and mighty, loved by all except the wrong ’uns.
There’s no doubt that the middling and emerging newly informed masses are more swayed by Nigel vis-a-vis, say, Gove, Badknock, Labour than maybe hardline Rupert … yet for Reform people, Rupert is laying it on the line far better … there’s deep distrust of Tice outside the M25 bubble yet Tice has his contacts inside.
My feeling is that, despite your and my misgivings on the terrible two, they’re still carrying a fair bit of the country, which will count with the non-aligned come elections … if the two factions, Faragists and real reformers, can somehow co-exist long enough to take power … why not?
Syria

To my mind, that one screenshot contains much … look at the political-ethnic-religious leaning of the writer, clearly anti-Assad and the Baathists, plus how relevant is the USA now? After Jan 20 in the US, I’d say increasingly relevant, which leaves the Shia v Sunni conflict to be evaluated.
Remembering that the Zionist Talmudists plus the jihadis both want Christianity exterminated, it’s not going to be too much fun for slaughtered Christians now in Syria.
7. Chernobyl

6. Syria seems to be the main news just now

More as and when the learned theses start coming through on today’s situation, not yesterday’s.
5. DAD at 902
(JH: Apologies for my lateness, fell asleep, did not post the frame last night.)
a) When I opened https://www.fdesouche.com/ this morning there were five reports of gun crime; four definitely associated with drugs.
La Grande-Motte, Clerment Ferrand, Nantes, La Courneveue, Marseille.
b) On the sidelines of the deliberations regarding agriculture, the new signs placed at the entrances to towns were invited to the debate.
c) L’archevêque de Paris, Monseigneur Laurent Ulrich, a procédé samedi 7 décembre à la réouverture des portes de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, cinq ans après l’incendie qui avait ravagé l’édifice.
d) Father of the year? “Enough with the lies. Protect the children”.
