Another Jolly For Sadiq Khan.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/31/trump-johnson-forgotten-lessons-war-sadiq-khan-white-nationalism-rightwing Surely Londoner's taxes should be spent tackling violent crime. Rather than paying for him to chum about with his Holocaust Denier pals. https://www.ft.com/content/1c183f56-0a6a-11e8-bacb-2958fde95e5e

Is it So Hard to Just Say; "Al Qaeda."

Have they suddenly come out in support of Remain or something? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-49538528

Yep. CBeebies.

That's about Team Mueller's level. https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-08-28/paul-chuckle-thrilled-as-chucklevision-voted-greatest-cbbc-series-of-all-time/ It's a shame that once triggered the penalty clauses can't be revoked.

Today is a New Day.

August 31st 2019 (31/8/19). I had a stick free day yesterday. Meaning I was able to spend the whole day without having to rely on a walking cane. I've even been able to take a couple of little strolls to buy a newspaper and such. Frankly I'm a bit stunned over how much strength my leg muscles have lost in less than three weeks.

Titling Things is Hard.

The current UK Parliamentary session has been the longest since the civil war. Of 1642. So long that many may have forgotten when the last Queen's Speech was held. Clue: It was back when Labour were holding their Grenfell Day of Rage protest; https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/21/grenfell-tower-day-of-rage-protest-to-coincide-with-queens-speech On the topic of things that happened a long time ago; Back in March 2019 "Operation: Yellow Hammer" was replaced as Britain's Brexit plan by "Operation: Red Fold." Just in case no-one's noticed the patten. https://news.sky.com/story/huge-fire-at-hotpoint-factory-in-peterborough-as-explosions-heard-11797395 Not that warnings mean much from people with a reputation for never following through.

The Vexatious Application.

A hallmark of every tinpot dictator. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/30/boris-johnson-prorogue-parliament-scottish-judge Now has Britain's summer of desperate rationalisation made its situation better. Or worse?

Today is a New Day.

August 30th 2019 (30/8/19). Actually the problem is that security is already too tight. The Americans are frustrated they can't get in. Cutting the information super highway straight to ISIL. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-49511155

The BBC Badly Missed the Point on That One.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49508231 I wonder if it will act as a trigger to address the pervasive fake news culture. Obviously even the illusion of impartially on the Remain campaign would be too much to hope for. But surely it's time for a little bit of honesty over US Democrats long running attempt to rig the 2016 election. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49513403 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-49507401

Today is a New Day.

August 29th 2019. Yesterday Remainers staged a protest against the Queen's Speech. Sky News went to interview them. It was every bit as mental as you would expect.

Math: The Enemy of Remain.

https://news.sky.com/story/pm-boris-johnson-plans-to-ask-queen-to-suspend-parliament-from-mid-september-11795978 The last time I checked October 14th typically occurs before October 31st. Traditionally an annual event the Queen's Speech is where the government lays out its legislative agenda for the coming year. As a result the days and weeks immediately after are the busiest of the Parliamentary year. With many ammendable bills and motions. So if, as Remainers claim, it's a plot to block their coup attempt. It's a pretty ineffective one. Also a legal challenge is a non-starter. This is a decision of the Monarch. Courts are technically delegates of the Monarch. Hence the term; "Crown Court." A delegate of the Monarch cannot review, let alone overturn, a decision of the Monarch from which they draw their power. In much the same way the elected house cannot overturn a decision of the electorate which provide it with its authority.

Today is a New Day.

August 28th 2019 (28/8/19). Yesterday I went out walking. Today there's a price to pay.

Under An Atomic Sky.

I've just been doing my bi-weekly check on Twitter. You remember. The company that was going into 2013 facing a winding up order. My account remains locked. So I'm now, finally, invoking the standard penalty for stealing SHIELD tech. Not that 10% is worth much. This does give me an opportunity to round up some other tech news. As I think I've mentioned I've been enjoying the current Ashes cricket series. Which I've been streaming online through Now TV. Via a Roku set-top box. A Now TV subscription also allows you to simultaneously stream on a mobile device such as a tablet. Via the App. In order to watch cricket while, say in the kitchen cooking, I attempted to download this App. Which involved logging into the Amazon Appstore on Friday (23/8/19). Only to discover the Now TV App is not available in that particular ecosystem. The side effect of logging into the Appstore was that all my existing Apps then attempted to update themselves. Including the Twi...

I've Been to the Supermarket.

Not something I would normally mention. However in my current condition it counts as a massive achievement. In this got weather I have noticed one advantage to having a sprained knee though. I have to block off a couple of hours each day to sit with basically my entire leg encased in ice.

Today is a New Day.

August 27th 2019 (27/8/19). And sadly I see Britain's politicians are back to their vapid honking.

Wait, the Paris Agreement Doesn't Cover This?!

https://news.sky.com/story/g7s-amazon-aid-plan-treats-region-like-a-colony-bolsonaro-says-11794906 If it doesn't address basics like cutting ghg emissions and deforestation how exactly does it combat Climate Change?

Today is a New Day.

August 26th 2019 (26/8/19). My first priority is to re-start the Amazon Fire. Or, to put it less dramatically; Re-charge the battery on my tablet.

Communism Has Failed Once Again.

Earlier this year I relented and signed up for UK Channel 4's streaming service 4OD. Having signed up I thought I'd use it to watch Season 6 of Agents of SHIELD. Apparently not. I got to episode 12 and episode 13 was unavailable. Despite me calling it up a good 15 minutes before they took it down. Only two weeks after broadcast.

Today is a New Day.

August 25th 2019 (25/8/19). Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a beer snake to work on.

Today Was a New Day.

August 24th 2019 (24/8/19). I walked, unaided, to the shop. Well, I walked from the car to the shop. Around the small shop. Then back to the car. That still counts as a massive achievement for me. It's been my entire focus for the past two days and I needed a little sleep to recover.

It Must Be the G7 This Weekend.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-49451255 And we all know the standard penalty for stealing SHIELD tech. Now, after several months of prompting, Who'll be able to ascend to Donald Trump's level?

Today is a New Day.

August 23rd 2019 (23/8/19). And it's already tea time. I got distracted by the morning massacre. England was so pleased at bowling Australia out in a single day yesterday. Only to get bowled out in pretty much a single session.

Today is a New Day.

August 22nd 2019 (22/8/19). At some point I'm going to have to make the time to give Leo Varadkar a full dressing down. Not today though. It's the start of the third test. England have actually been doing pretty well against Australia. They've just been doing terribly against Steve Smith. Jofra Archer's one skill has taken care of that.

Read Ragnar Redbeard.

Isn't that what the El Paso shooter urged? Ragnar Redbeard being the pen name of Arthur Desmond. The British/New Zealander/Australian/American author of; "Might Makes Right." A pseudonym inspired by two Norse warriors. Ragnar Lodbrok of Denmark & Sweden and Erik Redbeard of Norway. Erik the Red is a very important person in Greenland's history. As is the Oldenburg Realms. Which succeeded the Kalmar Union. Don't even get me started on the Svalbard Treaty. Even if the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez Economic Area will be familiar all those of both sides of the Northern Ireland border. Well, everyone except Leo Varadkar. Trump cancelling his visit seems a bit unfair though; https://m.dw.com/en/denmark-mulls-tighter-border-checks-with-sweden-after-copenhagen-bombing/a-50017778 Even if some Danes seem unaware of Danish history. Let alone American politics.

I Think I'd Make a Terrible Paramilitary.

I might've ever so slightly, accidentally kneecapped myself. Last Thursday (15/8/19) I was sitting with my knees crossed. I reached for something and, CRUNCH! I forced my left kneecap into the back of my right knee. This caused my right knee to swell up to double its size. Reducing its mobility from the usual 130° to around 13°. This threw my right ankle out of alignment spraining that too. Most frustratingly the great reactor fire of my Gout flare-up was almost out. When muscles get sprained the produce lots of acid. Dumping fresh fuel on the fire. This has all rather dramatically reduced my movement radius. To the point that if it's not in arms length it may as well be on the fricking moon. Since then I've mainly been adopting the policy; If I'm immobile I may as well be asleep. It is the best way for the body to repair itself. I've finally reached the point where I'm comfortable sharing my vulnerability with the World. Although, clearly, rumours...

Today is a New Day.

August 21st 2019 (21/8/19). You do know what's at the root at the current problems in Hong Kong don't you, Britain didn't renew its lease. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/19/trump-greenland-tower Also Greenland was part of Norway until 1933. During the Second World War it was militarily occupied by the US. So, technically, Greenland was a US territory as recently as 1945.

No Wonder.

Today is a New Day.

August 20th 2019 (20/8/19). It's a basic Troll trick; Getting someone to say out loud, for the audience, the thing they're guilty of. "A  coordinated attempt (by totalitarian leftists) to undermine the legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49402222 So it seems a good time to remind everyone, My grandmother still receives (lunar) New Year cards from Hong Kong. For reasons that significantly pre-date the invention of Twitter.

Twitter Are So Easy to Troll.

I can't imagine why everyone at the company seems fixated by a fear of suicidal thoughts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49402222 If they want me to explain further they're going to need to restore my account. Then clean house.

Today is a New Day.

August 19th 2019 (19/8/19). The focus, apparently without evidence, on a traveller camp could make it look like part of the Peaky Blinders promo. Now in the Bodyguard slot. I though am not seeing anything beyond the obvious crime. https://news.sky.com/story/pc-andrew-harper-police-given-extra-24hrs-to-detain-10-suspects-on-suspicion-of-murder-11789025 I can't help but wonder if this current rash of serious attacks on the police is related to Brexit. In the sense Britain's MP's are showing utter contempt for the rule of law. A culture of lawlessness which makes people think they don't need to respect the law either.

Today is a New Day.

August 18th 2019 (18/8/19). And is anyone going to mention the obvious? In his numerous news interviews well known fantasist Owen Jones doesn't appear to have been the victim of a frenzied assault. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49381944

Okay. Blindspot's Still a Thing.

I've started watching the 2017 season. And just got up to the bit where the US Marshal acts as the fixer for the deeply corrupt FBI director. It's bound to be cancelled. https://news.sky.com/story/us-issues-warrant-in-last-ditch-effort-to-stop-iranian-tanker-from-leaving-gibraltar-11787203 After I seem to have p'ssed off the producers of The Unit. Now they've teamed up with the Paramilitary Selena Gomez. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7764550/?ref_=m_ttep_ep_ep12 Meanwhile there are distinct aromas of the Boston Marathon Bombing. In light of the Cesar Seyoc case I would assume this is being classed as a hoax. For the simple reason that no-one can think of a way to spin it to the Democrats electoral advantage. Yet. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/new-york-subway-station-evacuated-over-suspicious-packages-today-2019-08-16-live-stream-updates/

Today is a New Day.

August 17th (17/8/19). A day which brings both Ashes cricket and EPL football. So there seems little point even attempting to talk to me.

Today is a New Day.

August 16th 2019 (16/8/19). Amid the excitement of cricket and charging my tablet I kind of forgot to mention that earlier.

Making it hard to read. One thing's clear though. Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997. The protesters are considerably younger than that. Making you wonder if they're demanding a return to a Hong Kong that never actually existed. British Governors of Hong Kong were certainly never democratically elected. They were appointed by secretive panels on the mainland.

Pointless Delaying Tactics.

The Remain Recession.

In June 2016 Britain voted to Leave the European Union (EU). In February 2017 the British Parliament honoured that vote. Establishing in law that Britain would Leave the EU on March 29th 2019 (29/3/19). In March 2019 the British Parliament refused to let Britain Leave the EU. Extending it's membership. First until June 2019. Then until October 2019. Between January and March 2019 the UK economy grew by 0.5%. Slightly better than expected. Between April and June 2019 the UK economy shrank by 0.2%. https://news.sky.com/story/uk-economy-contracts-for-the-first-time-in-seven-years-11780677

August 9th 2019 (9/8/19). Potentially a very difficult day for Google. Along with other US tech giants they will be attending a meeting at the White House. To tackle online extremism. Later CNN will be re-airing their "#StateOfHate" program. Looking at the rise of White Supremacy. This is the program which informs us that we were all mistaken that we witnessed the terror attack in Nice, France on July 14th 2016 )14/7/16). It also informs us that were were all mistaken when we witnessed the terror attack at Britain's Manchester Arena. On May 22n 2017 (22/5/17). Apparently both of these events in fact occurred in 2015. Under US President Donald Trump. That puts the program in clear violation of the new Terms of Service Google's YouTube adopted on July 23 2019 (23/7/19). Explicitly banning content which; "Makes Blatantly False Claims About Historic Events." A policy adopted specifically to tackle online extremism. Begging the question; ...

So "Screed" is Back in Fashion.

No doubt due to the 2017 miniseries "Guerrilla." Which I recently streamed online . https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5650574/ It centres around a fictional Black Supremacist terror group. In 1970's London. Democrats have taken using the term to refer to the writings of the El Paso shooter. Suggesting they just can't resist boasting about what they've done. The show was very clearly inspired by the rise of Black Lives Matter. The Black Supremacist terror group the Democrats created to scare up votes ahead of the 2014 mid-terms. In the show the screed the group read out during their attack doesn't belong to them. It belongs to the radical socialist group who pay them to carry out the attack. The screed having nothing to do with the motive for the attack leads to the police going after the wrong people. The show itself is terrible. It ends with the optimistic promise; "This isn't the end. It is the beginning."  It wasn't. Clearly n...

I Sound Like a Gun Nut.

So I should point out. Compared to your phone or your car a gun is an extremely simple piece of equipment. This is a Kalashnikov AK-47; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47 This is a Simonov SKS; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKS Even blind people can quickly tell that they are clearly very different objects. As the Wikipedia pages will tell you. The AK-47 was introduced to replace the SKS. Bringing the Soviet military into the assault rifle age. Those are massively important differences if you're demanding gun control. But this is the US media. There's no fact that can't be changed to help the Democrats campaign.

August 7th 2019 (7/8/19). Barcelona's Las Ramblas is a hugely significant location in the history of the Anti Fascist Action (Antifa) movement. It was part of the 1936 funeral procession of Buenaventura Durruti. One of the key founders of Antifa. Some say Durruti died after his driver's pistol snagged on a car door. Resulting in a negligent discharge which killed him. Others say the Communists assassinated the only Republican commander to actually win a battle in the Spanish Civil War. The US domestic terror group appropriating the Antifa name seem to share the same level of commitment to defeating Fascists.

I Know the Significance of Las Ramblas.

So when we see privileged thugs dressed in black. Traditionally, We kick the sh*t out of them. https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/battle-of-cable-street-when-the-irish-helped-beat-back-the-fascists-1.2801873?mode=amp

So, remind me. Why, as with Black Lives Matter, they still haven't been proscribed as a domestic terror group? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tacoma-ice-police-shooting-washington-willem-van-spronsen-antifa-detention-centre-a9004131.html Because even The Economist has been forced to admit it can no longer pretend it doesn't know what Baltimore's problem is; https://www.economist.com/leaders/2019/08/01/how-to-fix-baltimore

A report by investigators found that they had no mechanism to set them off, meaning that they wouldn't have gone off." I guess what's yet another seriously unsafe conviction amongst party members. After all if you profit from death, Then more death is good for business.

Today is a New Day.

August 6th 2019 (6/8/19). In light of the weekend's events I am feeling this urge to tease Rihanna. Later I might check to see if I can do so on Twitter. If not I might have to use Instagram. Although it is a toss up which is worse; Using Instagram. Or going to Shoreditch. In the meantime I have to ask; People do know that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist? It almost goes without saying that Apartheid was wrong. However Mandela wasn't jailed for merely protesting against Apartheid. He was the leader of the ANC's armed wing, Spear of the Nation (MK). He was jailed for four bomb attacks the group carried out. Something which I think any nation or society would agree were acts of terrorism. If anything this only seemed to make Nelson Mandela more popular.

Still Not As Bad As Gun Free Japan.

In that country the Courts serve corrupt party officials. Rather than the law. Left disenfranchised people often resort to resolving civil disputes by blowing each up with homemade explosives. Or using knives to carry out school massacres. So I hope America solves its problem before the next Olympics. Otherwise it's going to be an absolute bloodbath. Particularly now even Prime Minister Abe is distancing himself from Obama's Pacific policy. https://m.dw.com/en/japan-removes-south-korea-from-trusted-trade-partner-list/a-49858790

Yeah. White Supremacy.

Australia Are Looking Strong.

Particularly in light of the weekend's events. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/14/christchurch-massacre-brenton-tarrant-pleads-not-guilty-to-all-charges Now when does New Zealand tour in Sri Lanka begin.

Stacey Dooley's BBC Contract.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7291507/Stacey-Dooley-signs-mega-250-000-golden-handcuffs-deal-BBC.html I think everyone assumed it would be one of those catch & kill deals. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49240875

Today is a New Day.

August 5th 2019 (5/8/19). I'm tempted to say that it's not looking like it's not going to be a productive one. Although I have already been a bit productive. Just in the first four hours of the day, before I went to bed,

A Trial?!

Well, now. That's not very progressive; https://www.npr.org/2019/08/04/748070386/state-officials-will-pursue-death-penalty-against-suspected-el-paso-gunman https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/dylann-roof-expected-plead-guilty-state-trial-charleston-church-massacre https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741756615/virginia-court-sentences-neo-nazi-james-fields-jr-to-life-in-prison

13 Bloody Hours.

It is the Death Squad's way; https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4172430/ So I think there's one very big question CNN have 'forgotten' to ask of Andrew McCabe.

Call it Terrorism. Or Not.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbn_ao-den8 Operationally I would like to know if there's some sort of controlling hand linking El Paso and Dayton. But, sadly, I think we all already know the answer to that one. And without a word of apology; " 10 Dirty Niggers Standing on a wall. // Sho ot One Down. // Pass it Around." "20 Worthless Wetbacks Whoring on a Wall. // Shoot One Down. // Pass it Around." "Maybe the Boss Will Finally Pay Minimum Wage."

As Arnhem Well Knows.

My little sister is a particular pressure point. Which is why I hold a very special hatred. For those who fight. With their children at their feet. https://metro.co.uk/2019/07/26/girl-5-desperately-clings-baby-sister-moments-falls-death-10464087/

August 4th 2019 (4/8/19). You'll be glad to know I've been able to pinpoint almost the precise moment I brought that shirt; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-19685319 I should also remind Twitter that it would be incredibly easy to cut through the fence. Other people are just having a dispute over Coercive Control and Gaslighting. The psychological process by which spies think they can manipulate people into doing their bidding.

Yep. Somebody's Hurting.

The Wanderer Returns.

https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-wanderer-returns.html I feel this step might be somewhat futile.

Today is a New Day.

August 3rd 2019 (3/8/19). At some point I'm probably going to have to explain what I've been doing the last couple of days. Which is annoying. If I didn't feel so grotty I'd still be doing it.

Today is a New Day.

August 2nd 2019 (2/8/19). And clearly I'm not as healthy as I thought I was yesterday.

Today is a New Day.

August 1st 2019 (1/8/19). I've often thought that cricket is the ultimate metaphor for life. In the centre you've got the gladiatorial battle between bowler and batsman. However the bowler is never truly on their own. They have their ten team mates poised to catch the batsman out. This series could well be the perfect metaphor for the discussion over what to do with captured members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
