The First Blush of Spring flying back out to check?
Editorial here, a subject I have touched on before:
“PETER HITCHENS: The country was misled on a vital matter – and it wasn’t Boris Johnson’s parties
This country’s attitude towards events in Ukraine is based on a slavish decision to do what the Americans tell us to do, rather than on any serious estimate of our own national interest. I believe this may drag us into prolonged war.
Even the poor King must take part, forced to say during his German visit that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was ‘unprovoked’. This assertion is highly contentious and makes our monarch look silly and ill-informed.
Even the anti-Russian Washington hawk Robert Kagan has clearly stated that it was provoked. Provocation does not, of course, justify any such invasion, but admitting that it took place might make our own policy less wildly militant and risky.
It is regrettable but true that most of our media and political class are unaware of one of the biggest events in modern European history – that this crisis began with the lawless overthrow of Ukraine’s legitimately elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2014. There is little doubt that this coup had Western backing.
Peaceful protests in Kiev had been infiltrated by ultra-Right thugs.
As the Ukrainian sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko wrote in The Guardian soon before the putsch: ‘Before the start of full-fledged street violence on 19 January, Western media were naively celebrating the ‘European values’ of the movement – despite the fact that the xenophobic, homophobic, nationalist Svoboda party had, with even more extreme groups, been involved in Euromaidan – as the protests are known – almost from the beginning.
They were using far-Right slogans, fighting with the police, leading occupations of administrative buildings and dismantling monuments.
Yet neither the incidents of torture, lynching and public humiliation of alleged thieves in the protest camp, nor the beatings of homeless and drunk people nearby, have made it into the international media.’
David Roman, then a correspondent in Kiev for the Wall Street Journal, has since described the events: ‘I must correct the impression… that a courageous popular response to armed repression led to victory for the protesters.
On the contrary, on the last days of February 2014, armed thugs – many, if not most, heavily armed far-Right and neo-Nazi activists from western Ukraine – stormed Maidan square, killing and capturing police officers and forcing the hand of a government that, as well as being unpopular, was bankrupt and diplomatically isolated.
Some people… may think this good and proper, so that Ukraine has a pro-EU, pro-American government.
Personally, I was struck by the image of a democratically elected president escaping his country in the middle of the night, chased by hooligans holding Waffen-SS banners.’

The Neil Oliver Show on GB News interviewed Dr Jim Thorp, Professor of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. Must be the first mention of the Pfizer documents on GB News since Dr Naomi Wolf on the Mark Steyn Show. Talked about the experimental mRNA jabs for pregnant women. Other doctor called the mRNA jab a vaccine and did not seem to be working on a pregnancy ward. Pfizer documents show that 100 people died every week. Massive increase in pregnancy problems after the mRNA jab rollout. Dramatic decrease in infertility. Dr Jim Thorp mentioned that hydroxychloroquine had been used for many years for autoimmune conditions. Mentioned US Government data showing that 33% of Americans had complications after an mRNA jab.

Rishi has six months to sort boats crisis – so says the Sunday Express this morning. Six months! Doesn’t quite add up, does it?

Staff can sue their boss if customers offend them (Sunday Telegraph) – nope, that doesn’t make much sense either.
Another present day conundrum is how come the supposedly Tory Times and Sunday Times titles now regularly shill for the Labour leader: I know what a woman is, insists Starmer
I’m not sure that even Tony Blair’s spin doctors par excellence – Mandelson and Campbell – ever had the Sunday Times editorial singing from their hymn sheet.
Cows will get flatulence blockers so UK can hit net zero goal (Sunday Telegraph) – please, god, someone tell me that’s a late April Fool’s gag!
As I see it – I think April fool I’d likely to be destroyed by woke and the current madness – just another tiny harmless bit of British culture lost –
I suspect next year ‘April fool ‘ will be banned one Friday afternoon in parliament by some woke female far left spiteful red labour type because ‘certain group might be offended ‘ – which is enough to criminalise human activity these days …
Make it an offence to be offended ….

My grandson’s motor bike was stolen from where he lives . A couple of weeks later the police rang him to say they had found it and they would send someone to collect it. By the time they got there it had disappeared, never to be seen again.
If you want stuff back
Tell Facebook first
then call the police second
If you want action cos someone used hurty woods against you on Facebook or Twitter,
call the police first.
Update on mountain bike: police said to put it in a communal area. I contacted a local cllr to put details on facebook but the bike disappeared overnight after 11 pm.
The only people walking at that time are returning from the pub up the road.
If someone does respond to Facebook I will advise they sue the police for cost of replacement.
Messenger – my sympathies – I was 21when my 126cc Honda was stolen whilst I was at work . I got a call to ‘identify the body ‘ – all I got was the plastic side panel …. It’s best sometimes not to get something like that back because it’s never the same …
I hope your grandson is a good rider and always assumes every one is is ‘bad’…. That’s the attitude I take when on my 300cc scooter now …
Any the wiser?
lol – a new way for the BBC to tell us a story without having to give us any information whatsoever about who did it by referring to them by their age !!!.
‘On Saturday evening four men, aged 24, 29, 36 and 38, were charged with affray and disorderly behaviour.
The men aged 24, 29 and 38 were also charged with common assault.’
While I was there, I did a check to see what else was buried in ‘regions’ that I didn’t see which would be far more significant than a story about how old 4 men are.
Lo and behold these men:
Were found guilty of murdering this man:
… and also this man:
Was stabbed right through the heart and lung by yet another 15 year old ‘who cannot be named for legal reasons’. And the BBC don’t bat an eyelid because they don’t care.
They should have a separate main section called ‘enrichment’ to put these in so we can find them more easily and see all the lies by omission the BBC get up to.
Bask in the diversity…

‘If the ethnicity of a criminal is not mentioned then it is 99% percent certain that they are a member of an ethnic minority group’.

Afghanistan : 3 British men being held by Taliban secret police
Charity medic Kevin Cornwell, 53
, ‘danger tourist’ Miles Routledge, 23,
and another British national who manages a hotel for aid workers in Kabul have been held by the Taliban’s secret police since early January
Is he named Mohammed ?
I expect hundreds of Afghanis have got British passports over the years
and many of them have gone back, some on the Taliban side and some not on their side.
“British” passports are a large part of the problem.

Since it is a Sunday, an article for those who are still interested in our Christian affairs:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/bishops-beware-the-cornish-revolt/
Fruitful means that churches need to pay attention
to their mission to poorer communities; to children,
young people and schools; to creation care; to the global
church; to deepening discipleship; and to the quality of
community life within each church.
Sustainable means that churches need to have plans in
place for bringing people to a new faith; to growing the
faith of those who are already Christians; to patterns of
leadership that are life-giving rather than exhausting;
to enabling a wide variety of callings, both within and
beyond the church; to paying their way financially; and to
their church buildings

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

A reminder from Libya …..
Gaddafi wants EU cash (£4bn) to stop African migrants {bbc.co.uk aug2010}
“Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros (£4bn; $6.3bn) a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a ‘black Europe’.
…
‘We don’t know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans,’ Col Gaddafi said…
…
He told them that Islam should become the religion of Europe and gave them free copies of the Koran, after he had lectured them for an hour on the freedoms enjoyed by women in Libya.”

The far-left BBC’s choice for the UK at eurovision, Mae Muller, (no, me neither) has been outed by The Telegraph as being an anti-Tory, anti-Boris, anti-British far-left activist. “I hate Britain”, being one of her choice comments. As with all lefty types, she is a total hypocrite – she is more than happy to take the coin and adulation to represent the country she hates and has clearly held her back so badly.
Why, one might ask, did the BBC pick this person?
I think we know why. Everything they do, and I mean absolutely everything, has an agenda behind it. Nothing is accidental.
Close them down.

According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China’s ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood. In this far-reaching and original investigation, Martin Jacques offers provocative answers to some of the most pressing questions about China’s growing place on the world stage.

Ninety-four percent of the population still believes they are one race-“Han Chinese.” The strong sense of superiority rooted in China’s history promises to resurface in twenty-first century China and in the process strengthen and further unify the country.
Australia : Are Tories always a bit thick ?
People like complicated stories they prefer simplistic untruths, but buckle up
Kellie-Jay Keen (Posie Parker) took her Let Women Speak rallies to Australia
.. antifa prepared the ground by rigging her Wikipedia page to falsely say she is associated with neoNazis
Someone arranges for a bunch of blokes who look like cos-play-Nazis to turn up at the rally in Melbourne
One seems to do a friendly fist bump with a police officer as the police let them through into the rally.
An Australian female Liberal MP (ie Tory) Moira Deeming attends the rally to speak
The frothing Labour an frothing media froth
John Pesutto the state leader of the state Tories then makes a decision
“Oh I don’t like the lefties and media saying nasty things about our party, so I WILL SHUT THIS WOMAN MP UP, I’ll throw her out of the party .. ”
He then goes on TV to say “I’m disgusted that this woman attended a rally where there were Nazis and here’s a big list of times the speaker Kellie-Jay has associated with Nazis, Hate Hate Hate ”
reads out the false list he got off Wikipedia.
She shuts up off the media but does speak in the party meeting
Saying her background is she was raped multiple times as a child
and that her close uncle survived the holocaust.
Thus MPs don’t expel her
Instead he expels her for 9 months and runs to the ABC saying party are not evil Nazis they are nice and that Moira Deeming has condemned Kellie
Moira then tweets that she hasn’t
Then there is a local By-election which the Liberals lose for a variety of reasons
And then Billy Bragg tweets : ‘see the Liberals are the party of Hate , that’s why they didn’t win’

officially called vocational education and training centers
The Xinjiang internment camps,[note 1] officially called vocational education and training centers (Chinese: 职业技能教育培训中心)[12] by the government of China,[13][14][15][16] are internment camps operated by the government of Xinjiang and the Chinese Communist Party Provincial Standing Committee. Human Rights Watch says that they have been used to indoctrinate Uyghurs and other Muslims since 2017 as part of a “people’s war on terror”, a policy announced in 2014.[1][17][18]
The camps have been criticized by the governments of many countries and human rights organizations for alleged human rights abuses, including mistreatment, rape, and torture, with some of them alleging genocide.[19]
Some 40 countries around the world have called on China to respect the human rights of the Uyghur community,[20] including countries such as Canada, Germany, Turkey, Honduras and Japan.
The governments of more than 35 countries have expressed support for China’s government.[21][22][23]

In the midst of this dismal verbiage and euphemism, the plain statement—”There’s one law for everybody and that’s all there is to be said”—still stands out like a diamond in a dunghill. It stands out precisely because it is said simply, and because its essential grandeur is intelligible to everybody. Its principles ought to be just as intelligible and accessible to those who don’t yet speak English, in just the same way as the great Lord Mansfield once ruled that, wherever someone might have been born, and whatever he had been through, he could not be subject to slavery once he had set foot on English soil.

Why is it that our government is doing all the things that the majority don’t want while at the same time not doing all the things that people actually DO want.
We (the majority) do not want heat pumps, electric cars, LTN and ULEZ zones, 15 minute Cities, windmills, all the woke rubbish, all the net zero rubbish, all the green crap, all the diversity bosses plus everything that goes with it, we don’t want to lead the world by ruining our economy to reduce our 1% of the man made carbon which is only 3% of all the carbon produced making our contribution 0.03% and all the other things they are doing to us against our wishes.
What we DO want is migration/immigration controlled, Brexit done properly, police tackling proper crime and not hurty texts, real sentencing for criminals, actually do something about the tens of thousands of little girls being raped by these enricher grooming gangs, stop the boats completely and do not allow anyone ashore plus so many other things that we want doing but are being ignored.
I wish Reform, UKIP and the others would get their act together.
In the Netherlands, the Farmers are now the biggest Party and I bet they will become much bigger next time as people realise it’s not a wasted vote.
If these Reform type Parties get a decent vote I think the next vote will be much bigger when people see their vote is no longer wasted.
Instead of voting for one Party to keep the other out or voting for the least worst Party people can vote for a Party that will do what they want.
Maybe our politicians think they are being macho by defying and denying the voters wishes or they might even think they are right but they are voted in to run the Country for the population and not to ignore all the things we want whilst doing all the things we don’t want.
Here’s a question.
Are they doing anything that the majority want them to do (and I don’t mean Brexit because they are making a right dogs breakfast out of it)
Excellent post EG. Could not agree more!

I gave up being deluded that I live in a democracy . It isn’t – maybe it never was . But recent years have highlighted the Westminster group think – the majority in the Commons are made of the same stuff – controversy is manufactured – but their policies ‘ outlook are broadly the same – and not mine . I used to vote Tory out of self interest and my distaste for welfare dependency . But I won’t be doing it again .
When the next election comes hundred of blue labour MPs will look like stunned cows in the slaughter house as they lose their seats . The red lot will jump up and down – but in truth there won’t be much difference – taxes will go up – restrictions on freedoms will continue .
It’s unfortunate that voters like ‘popular ‘ figures like Johnson – but when he gets power – 80 seats – he did what his woke wife told him to do and thankfully got dumped .
Richi believes in the same thing as starmer – there is no one of the Right . I’m seriously thinking of leaving Britain – mainly because to me it’s not Britain any more – it’s rapidly declining mush with no one to stop it ….
.. the nearest we got was the shyster Farage – who prefers the TV to real change – if he believed in anything – he’d have engaged the political process – but I suppose he got bought off somewhere ….

Dane-Geld
A.D. 980-1016
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

He said it was a battle to get a memorial
I’m not sure if that is true
He said his uncle trained at RAF Filey in old Butlins camp so he wanted to put in in a park alongside the memorials to local people who had died
but the council thought it would detract away from them

Dunno why the didn’t put it near to the actual base which is 2 miles south of Filey.
