Seeing as this is topical because of all the rememberance going on in the UK and Europe now. I took this picture two days ago while travelling through Arnhem:

Some 1764 dead UK and Polish soldiers lie buried here. I wonder if they had known how the UK would later be invaded if they would have made their ultimate sacrifice?
The image is very moving.

Emotional resilience edition
…a symbol of hope and resilience – Nope, not the VE Day anniversary RAF Royal flypast.
This is in fact the junior poundshop Guardian that is the i paper reflecting on the 80th anninversary of kids’ comic book characters the Moomins – I kid you not.
How Finnish characters became a symbol of hope and resilience
In case you were wondering: The Moomins are characters in a series of novels, short stories, picture books, and a comic strip by the Finnish writer and illustrator Tove Jansson. They are a family of white, round fairy-tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble the hippopotamus. However, despite this resemblance, the Moomin family are trolls who live in a house in Moominvalley. Between 1945 and 1993, nine books were released in the series, together with five picture books and a comic strip… The Moomins, generally speaking, relate strongly to Jansson’s own family – they were bohemian, lived close to nature and were very tolerant towards diversity. – thank you Wiki.
This isn’t the left-leaning i paper’s first rodeo with the Moomins: How the Moomins took over the world… Imagine a world where tolerance, equality, loyalty and democracy are the natural order; where no one is an outsider; where problems are solved peacefully, normally after a fun adventure. That’s what Tove Jansson dreamt up when she created Moominland… Jansson based one of her later creatures, Too-Ticky, on her female partner, Tuulikki Pietila, whom she met in her mid-forties, in 1956, when same-sex partnerships were illegal in Finland… Sandi Toksvig, the comedian-turned-political activist, reads an accompanying audio guide that will bring Jansson’s stories to life. (Susie Mesure, i paper December, 2016)
This isn’t simply kids stuff: The Moomins at 80: The children’s books that tackled mid-life crises and depression… “In that first story, Moominmamma and Moomintroll don’t have a home. They are essentially refugees,” says Sophia Jansson-Zambra, Tove’s niece, who chairs Moomin Characters Limited, the family-run business… Back in London, a special Moominhouse is being built this month with input from local families at the Southbank Centre as part of a series of workshops that include making Moominvalley-inspired art with Nabil Amini, a Bristol-based artist who came to the UK as a refugee from Afghanistan… “The LGBTQ+ community has honed in on her being a beacon for minorities because she was bisexual at a time when it wasn’t self-evident that that could be your choice. She didn’t have a family but dedicated herself to art, which was seen as a courageous choice for a woman born in her time. Maybe that’s easier today, but at the same time we are witnessing political developments that are taking the world back to a much more polarised and less tolerant climate” (Susie Mesure, i paper, May 2025)
Personally, I was more of a Clangers kid. Please don’t tell me they always welcomed refugees to their moon-like planet, stood for one-world government and the Soup Dragon was gay
Of course the i paper covers that other 80th anniversary – with a relatively reverent headline: Air we go! Red Arrows flypast kicks off week of events to mark VE Day
And the title isn’t all peace, love and pussy: Why UK defence firms want to make more weapons for Britain… in Ukraine (i paper)
Opinion Why I bin my kids’ artwork – and don’t feel bad… Because what I’m really doing is modelling something useful. My kids are learning to develop emotional resilience. (Kirsty Ketley, i paper)
I think it was Judy Dench who used to read the Moomintrolls on Jackanory. Never thought about it until now, but how many of the stories which were read aloud were chosen as part of the far Left’s vision of a bright new world and used to indoctrinate young children. The manipulation may have been going on for a long time.
I will now have to think about the wooden tops and try to decide whether there was any significance to ‘the spottiest dog you ever did see’.
The telegraph reports some squirrel stuff about ‘Britain preparing for an attack by Russia ‘….
.. presumably dinghies have been stockpiled so that we can all seek refugee status in France …..
The msm mindset is a curious one . It assumes that any one wouid launch a conventional military attack on britainistan and negates that it is being attacked every day with another 500 being facilitated illegal entry in a 21st century military action – with the former British state surrendering .
As for Russian intentions to take over Europe / britainistan to act as a buffer to the US – good luck with that – you’ll find it’s more trouble than it is worth – but bring it on anyway – 77 brigade to note ….
Btw – just to help the Russians – here is some top secret intelligence courtesy of wiki
‘The British Army has 49 infantry battalions, including 33 regular battalions and 16 reserve battalions, spread across 19 regiments. These battalions are part of various brigades, including Armoured, Infantry, and Strike Brigade Combat Teams, with specialized roles like air assault and light infantry. ‘….
Ps – a tip – do it on VE Day because they’ll all be doing ceremonials and then on the lash in the evening …
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/05/05/starmer-prepares-for-attack-by-russia/
I suspect they’ve been told that the electricity grid will fail like Spain and Portugal and they’ll blame doze wikkid wjushinnz – the Daily Mail just needs to do a search + replace on this article…

Hinckley Point
Net Absolutely Zero until 2031
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/06/starmer-nuclear-watchdog-regulations-delays-reactors
Tomo – thanks – I notice this from the article
‘The energy company EDF predicted in 2007 that electricity from Hinkley Point C would be cooking Christmas turkeys in 2017. EDF said in January 2024 that the station might not be finished until 2031.
The estimated total cost of building the plant has risen from £18bn in 2016 to £35bn in 2024. This could increase to £46bn when inflation is taken into account.‘
Excellent news – no new nuclear until at least 2040 by my reckoning – but at least it will keep the new occupants of the Islamic republic warm …
Fed – by my reckoning, UAE built 2 reactors very similar to Hinckley Point in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the money.
Hinckley Point is an utter farce.
Couldn’t run a bath.
I was hoping that rooftop hydro electric schemes and motorway central reservation traffic driven wind turbines would take off and attract government funding – makes about as much sense as what we’re witnessing.
Tomo – my scheme is that the blackout kick in during 2027 which brings down the Marxist regime a couple of years early .
If the Iberian black out was an EMP experiment – they know it works completely – if used in britainistan I wonder how long their State can contain the civil disorder ? I reckon not long – less than 24 hours … only those with old style radios wouid have a clue what’s going on ….stockpile fuel and water and cans …
Given the stuff I’ve read – the old radio won’t be much use as the signal content needs t’Internet to be distributed – a generator and a Starlink box is likely a bare minimum …
Tomo – I suppose the nuclear warning sirens will also be out of action so at least we won’t have to worry about ‘what that noise is ?’ – before the first flash …
Ackshewelly …
I can see why the DM put that stupid shit behind their paywall – it wasn’t like it was conjecture … they were actually claiming Putin attacked Iberia with a nuke…
Maybe a credulity test for folk stupid enough to pay a sub
Something which scared me a lot Fed was the reaction of the British public when the petrol tanker drivers went on strike. It really was every man for himself : there was no Dunkirk spirit about that.
Then we had the fights and stockpiling of toilet roll during COVID.
The civil unrest will happen quickly and it will be an ugly thing. We are a Nation of selfish greedy people. Including ALL Remainers – and they are still full of spite because of what they perceive they lost due to Brexit. It will of course be worst in the places which also happen to be full of immigrants due to their cultures. Anyone remember the fist fights in Pakistan over stuff we had dropped by Hercules ?. And no doubt our African friends in Londonistan will be so upset, only looting a new TV and trainers will be enough to console them.
This is a pretty good explanation of why it is so expensive, and why the country which built the world’s first commercial nuclear power station – in 3 years! – is now dependent on 30 year projects driven by Johnny Foreigner.
More on point in my experience / opinion.
The B Ark is real.
Tomo – that is very very good post – and I have to watch it a few times before I write anything ….
But having worked for senior people in big organisations – I recognise the question’ how did someone so stupid get to such a powerful position ?” The DEI is an easy explanation for some – but not all …
I’ve now seen quite a lot of it… aggressive ignorant arrogant twats with an IQ barely above room temperature bullying, lying and using their position in the hierarchy to block anybody remotely seen as a threat … – and failing and then acting like the chess playing pigeon….
About 10 years ago I went down the Machiavelli (and Italian Renaissance in general) rabbit hole – fascinating and astonishingly misrepresented by, in general – people seeking to analyse it via a fashionably lefty set of “today” goggles
Tomo – unfortunately for me i failed to exploit me intelligence and perception – and suffered from altruism .
The successful in organisations focus on themselves – building their networks for personal advancement and playing the system .
It’s become far easier in the DEI world – far more dangerous than any stupid threat of war with Russia or some other contrived fear …..
The msm theme now seems to be even more focused on keeping people frightened as a distraction from the real threat – the ongoing continuous invasion ….. good to be on the other side of 50 ….
£4 billion of unusable PPE bought in first year of pandemic will be burnt “to generate power”
10 June 2022
https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/127/public-accounts-committee/news/171306/4-billion-of-unusable-ppe-bought-in-first-year-of-pandemic-will-be-burnt-to-generate-power/
Dame Meg Hillier MP, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, said:
“The story of PPE purchasing is perhaps the most shameful episode the UK government response to the pandemic. At the start of the pandemic health service and social care staff were left to risk their own and their families’ lives due to the lack of basic PPE. In a desperate bid to catch up the government splurged huge amounts of money, paying obscenely inflated prices and payments to middlemen in a chaotic rush during which they chucked out even the most cursory due diligence. This has left us with massive public contracts now under investigation by the National Crime Agency or in dispute because of allegations of modern slavery in the supply chain.
Add to that a series of inappropriate, unauthorised severance payoffs made by clinical commissioning groups in the first year of the pandemic and the impression given falls even further from what we expect.
Israel security cabinet approves plan to ‘capture’ Gaza, official says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy04km1zk0o
“Gaza’s community kitchens say they are days away from running out of supplies” Days? 2 days? 30 days? 150 days?
Very vague, but it helps with the bbc biased reporting
I do wonder where the BBC get their stories.
In this day & age I guess they have teams of people trawling the internet. They break very very few stories for the money they get.
It’s much simpler than that. These days they use AI:
“ChatGPT… make up some stories involving climate change, immigration, LGBTQWERTY, Russia, Trump, and Tommy Robinson with phrase real name Yaxley-Lennon. Compose them in the style of a dumb blonde work experience girl.”
Ian
according to Grok
Doubtless a BBC editorial guidelines and house style filters need to be applied …
So, like, it’s the future, right? And the world is, like, to-tal-ly freaking out because climate change is, like, making everything super hot and sweaty, and not in a cute way. The ice caps are, like, melting faster than my mascara in a heatwave, and all these coastal cities are, like, underwater. People are moving everywhere trying to find dry land, so there’s this huge immigration thing going on, with, like, millions of people crossing borders, and everyone’s arguing about who gets to stay where. It’s, like, a total mess, and I’m just trying to figure out how to save my fave beach vacay spot, ya know?
Anyway, in the middle of all this, there’s this super fabulous group called the LGBTQWERTY Alliance, and they’re, like, the coolest people ever. They’re all about love and equality, but they’ve added “QWERTY” to their name because they’re, like, super inclusive of everyone, even people who are, like, super into keyboards or something? I don’t totally get it, but they throw the best parties, with rainbow flags and glitter everywhere, and they’re trying to help all the climate refugees find safe places to live. They’re, like, “Love is love, and everyone deserves a dry bed!” which is, like, so sweet, right?
But then, oh my gosh, Russia gets involved, because they’re, like, always up to something shady, aren’t they? They’re, like, “Oh, we have all this cold land in Siberia, come live here!” but it’s totally a trick to get people to work in their weird factories or whatever. And they’re, like, spreading fake news that climate change isn’t even real, which is, like, so annoying because everyone can see the floods and stuff. I’m like, “Hello, Putin, have you seen my Instagram stories from Miami? It’s, like, a swimming pool now!”
And then, enter Donald Trump, who’s, like, back in the picture, because of course he is. He’s, like, building these huge golden Trump Climate Towers in the desert, saying they’re “the best, most luxurious refugee camps, folks, nobody does it better.” But everyone knows they’re just, like, overpriced condos for rich people who want to escape the floods. He’s on TV all the time, with his hair looking extra orange, saying, “Climate change is a hoax, but if it’s real, I’m gonna make so much money from it, believe me.” I’m like, “Donald, can you chill for, like, five seconds?”
Now, here’s where it gets extra dramatic. This guy Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Yaxley-Lennon—ugh, why does he have two names, it’s so confusing—shows up, and he’s, like, super mad about all the immigration stuff. He’s got this big megaphone and he’s yelling about how “Britain should be for British people only,” and I’m like, “Tommy, calm down, we’re all just trying to survive the heat, okay?” He’s, like, making these YouTube videos saying the LGBTQWERTY people are “ruining everything” and that climate change is a “globalist plot,” which sounds like something he read on a sketchy website. I’m like, “Tommy, have you even seen the floods in London? Get a kayak and get over it!”
So, the LGBTQWERTY Alliance decides to throw this huge rally to, like, bring everyone together and fight for climate justice and stuff. They invite all the climate refugees, and it’s, like, this amazing vibe with music and dancing and everyone holding hands. But then, Tommy (real name Yaxley-Lennon, don’t forget) shows up with his crew, trying to crash the party and yell about “borders” and “culture” or whatever. And Trump’s there too, because he heard there was a crowd and he loves attention, right? He’s, like, tweeting, “Tommy’s a great guy, tremendous patriot, I’m sending him a MAGA hat!”
Meanwhile, Russia’s, like, secretly funding Tommy’s megaphone or something, because they want everyone to keep fighting so they can sneak in and take over more land. It’s, like, so sneaky, I can’t even. But the LGBTQWERTY crew is, like, not having it. They start chanting, “Love wins, haters lose!” and they get everyone to join in, even some of Tommy’s followers who are, like, “Wait, this party is actually kinda fun.” And Trump’s just standing there, confused, because nobody’s paying attention to him anymore.
In the end, the rally is, like, a total success, and the world starts working together to fix climate change, because duh, we all need a planet to live on. Tommy (real name Yaxley-Lennon) goes off to make more grumpy videos, but nobody’s really listening anymore. Trump builds a new tower called “Trump Rainbow Resort” to try to cash in on the LGBTQWERTY vibe, but it’s, like, super tacky and nobody goes. Russia’s plan fails because everyone’s too busy planting trees and building solar panels. And I’m like, “Yay, we saved the world, and I still look cute in my eco-friendly bikini!”
Germany’s Merz falls short of majority in vote for chancellor
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgp22zlrgko
That’s not the big news BBC and you know it.
This is:
‘The big winner of the election in terms of voter gains was the right-wing populist AfD, which nearly doubled its voter share over the previous federal election in 2021.’
Yet it isn’t mentioned at all. They have done the trick of restricting the scope of the article via the headline.
And I also notice this:
‘The surprise winner of the election was the Left Party. After years of declining membership and poor returns at the polls, the party managed to pull off a comeback. ‘
Given the panic over the gains of the Right in the world at the moment, would they rig it ?. 100% they would if they could. Just 4 days before the election, they branded the AfD as ‘extremists’ !. What a dirty trick.
And the Greens all have haloes ….
