For consideration…a little (if not in these times, confusing) Kipling. Who is who these days?

“You can horsewhip your Gascony archers, or torture your Picardy spears,
But don’t try that game on the Saxon; you’ll have the whole brood round your ears.
From the richest old Thane in the county to the poorest chained serf in the field,
They’ll be at you and on you like hornets, and, if you are wise, you will yield.”
……
JH and TQM: Be sure to read it all, else you’ll have the Saxons at your door.

TQM is also fond of Shirley Bassey but alas, we cannot run Beeb media here for legal reasons. Never mind, here she is:

a) This is another refusal to comply that ended badly. The individual who was riding a scooter at high speed in Paris on Wednesday, fell after refusing a police check. He was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries……
b) France “Deliberately Colluding” with Illegal Channel Migrants. Keir Starmer’s ‘coalition of the willing’ buddy Emmanuel Macron has been accused of encouraging the lucrative migrant Channel crossings…..
c) In an explosive report by the French Government, the transnational[…] organisation […] Brotherhood has been portrayed as “a threat that is spreading in a pernicious and progressive way”.
d) “Tusk’s Poland is no longer a democracy”….“They are losing and that is why they are resorting to more persecution, more circus instead of bread.”

20. Rolf sums it up nicely
“The State has rejected the call for a fresh national enquiry – one that would have the power to compel witnesses. A reason given is that there has already been one such, looking into child sexual exploitation in broad terms, that reported in 2022.
However what concerns many of the public is the specific issue of wholesale organised abuse by groups of men largely of Pakistani heritage. It is felt that close examination would reveal that police, social workers and local politicians were aware of these outrages and chose to cover them up or even, in effect, help and abet them.”

15. Ladies on the march
I’ve read a lot by X and other pundits about those typing and posting Xes not “achieving” anything for girls and women … this is usually said by men, inc. Rupert.
I must humbly and respectfully disagree … enough women and girls became vocal, from Riley Gaines across the pond to Sammy here, plus that fencer, and it moved certain men, e.g. Rupert, to fight for the gals. I’m personally delighted … females are good at such things … so go for it, gals.
I mean … what do you want them to do … fight in the street?
Give em hell, girls … delighted to see this.

11. And even though this is a sad situation downunder
… it does, I suppose, run a lady, which sort of makes up for the absent LatL.
Ah … that shark issue, yes. Many decades ago … trip to Queensland, surf beach, out there awaiting the wave, legs dangling in the water, either side of the Hawaiian longboard, perfect shark bait. Yikes!
Always have felt surfing is dangerous … on the other hand, certain beaches seem not to get the sharks … on the whole. Some though … do … and maybe that surfer was looking for waves further afield, who knows.
10. Now, even though there’s no official LatL today
… there are still ladies and one is the English Rose Jess Gill:
I’d vastly prefer to see and hear her in her natural element, despite the lashes, rather than in posed shots but … we can’t hear her here or even see the tweet because it uses the I word and that makes it not-on to post, for swatting reasons. Here she is.
What I can do though is run Deryl, which will give those outside Britain a better idea:

9. Liz Truss still seems Tory Party at heart
… though she clearly took some stances in office which were more Britain oriented, more for the people of the land … that saw her removed. Reform? She took a look, did not make the jump.
Why not? Methinks she saw what many of us saw.
8. Copyhold again
7. There’s this issue, you see, of the 80%-20%
Yesterday, we were discussing it here in the context of how much expertise does one go for? For example, I was a fair snow skier, usually red runs, blue if tired, black occasionally … which once put me in the 75% range, which is all I ever wanted. Sailing a bit more than that.
As MMutR said … to get to that 80% takes a certain cost and effort but to get to 100% requires specialising, devoting one’s life.
Now, in the field of ferreting and punditry, even commendable people hover around the 70 to 80% mark, bolstered by the intuition of a long life … they judge on whether a thing rings true or sounds like BS … they’re occupied in other fields and so are not as intensely involved in the minutiae as the pundit doing it all the time, such as alt-bloggers, all.
An example … just how many Brits know of the Oakeshott connection with Qatar/Hamas/Iran, or that romance is involved? And why would a normal person be interested anyway? Yet not knowing that can really alter the whole picture, can it not?
Copyhold is on Gab … his comments below sound right enough but I’ve seen some strange things written by him/her at times. Here’s the rub … we need to delve into our trusted sources, reassure ourselves.
6. Follow this train of thought if you would
… but only after listening to the girl in Fri 5 … it really is necessary, as she speaks of where funds go and for what.
Now, for me, the key word in there is Qatar. Also associated with Qatar is Hamas, Iran, Isabel Oakeshott … who lives(d) there, which brings in Richard Tice, which brings in Yusef, which brings in Farage.
Now I understand good people planning to vote for “last hope” Reform … yes, at ground level, grassroots level, that’s admirable and I do hope they take some positions on May 1st. I understand them thinking of me and of others of similar view as spoilsport malcontents but have they stopped to consider the second paragraph above here? Really thought through the implications?
The charge I lay is the gang of four are actively but secretly aiding and abetting the Yusef agenda, to euphemise it … part of the agenda is a new Lake District “leisure centre”. If all this were not so, were Farage just a petulant boy who didn’t like farmers (as he’s an M25 bubble man, as is Tice), then I’d put the “tiff” down to a passing phase.
Good readers … it is far more than a “passing phase” … it’s agenda, not a doubt of it.
5. Went to make a sshot on this one
… then realised it’s a sleeper, in some detail … we need to follow this trend up, as part of the ongoing funds expose:
