And An Extra Special Award Goes to CNN.

They heroically battled Islamaphobia in the wake of the latest London Bridge attack. By focusing on a Sikh firearms officer. Because brown people. They're all the same. And famously all hate cricket. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/25/sport/jofra-archer-cricket-racism-spt-intl/index.html https://youtube.com/watch?v=9GdvFiE2R5I

"There is No Islamist Terrorism."

"Only Zionist False Flag Attacks." http://news.met.police.uk/news/statement-from-ac-neil-basu-following-incident-in-london-bridge-388670. Yeah. They not really cut out for any form of police work. Let alone counter-terrorism. After all that's the attitude that's stops you looking for the evidence.

Did I Mention. I've Got a New Mp3 Player.

A process that involves going through what seems like every song I've ever owned. So would it be super annoying if I continued to discuss the latest London Bridge attack entirely through the medium of Mp3's? For example; Q. For how long has, no really, Khanistan Police Commissioner Cressida Duck been screwing up counter-terror operations? A. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Cvwod3GWgqk Also, how awesome is my brain?! Long before I knew there was an attack. Let alone one linked to Australia and Wales. Guess what was stuck in my head. https://youtube.com/watch?v=EG3fou1E6os Which isn't even the stand-out track from an album I haven't listened to in like 20 years. Which seems to be the sort of talent that entitles you to tell Oxbridge to go f'ck itself.

And The Dick's Still Not Out.

Unusual for Boris Johnson. Like I said; The only surprise is they didn't jail some random white guy in his place. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/london-bridge-terrorist-cardiff-park-17341853 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/finsbury-park-mosque-attack-met-police-chief-cressida-dick-vows-to-protect-muslims-observing-ramadan-a3568401.html https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/26/briton-killed-in-drone-strike-on-isis-posed-serious-threat-to-uk-reyaad-khan https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/isis-uses-companies-in-wales-to-finance-terrorist-attacks-against-the-west-spq0r2x33 In a desperate effort to end the relentless conflict between their agenda and reality. It's certainly a cunning ruse Khanistan police have employed there though. Over many years they've developed such an ingrained level of incompetence that they will fail often has become an inevitably.

Yeah I Heard.

John Bolton's done you up the arse. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-iran-iraq/u-s-extends-waiver-for-iraq-to-import-iranian-electricity-for-120-days-idUSKBN1WW2PS If I'd fallen for that at this point. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/10/trump-fires-john-bolton-national-security-adviser I wouldn't be protesting. I'd be too ashamed to so my face.

It's Important to Stay Current.

Even if it seems like a complete waste of your time and talent. Last week I finally watched the movie; "Get Out." Directed by Jordan Peele this was much hyped at the 2018 Oscars. It must be said that on a technical level it is not an Oscar worthy film. Billed as a horror it relies on sudden, loud bursts of music to make you jump. Which is a pretty remedial technique. I can see why it created such a buzz at the Oscars though. It's really an allegory. For the director's fears at breaking into the movie industry. Suddenly having to attend lots of parties where he's examined and evaluated by much older and much more experienced people. It also satirises western liberals virtue signalling, Woke culture. Where they're all desperate to pat themselves on the back for including an ethnic, gay, Muslim or, most precocious of all transgender character. In order to share in their experience. What ruined the movie for me was the opening sequence. This featur...

Today is a New Day.

November 30th 2019 (30/11/19). We really shouldn't be surprised by the fact that yesterday's London Bridge attack was carried out by a convicted terrorist who'd be freed from prison. We should be surprised that London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Police Commissoner Cressida Dick haven't sent a random white guy to prison in his place. Just to make sure the statistics balance and don't reveal that there's a serious problem with Islamist terrorism. https://www.itv.com/news/2019-09-19/right-wing-extremism-fastest-growing-threat-in-uk-counter-terror-chief-warns/

By this point on a Friday there's normally way more people been stabbed. https://youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Q

I've Recalled Another One.

As I was returning the usual six carriages had been reduced to three. So I was forced to overhear some grandmother proudly boasting about how her son had worked in Hong Kong; "Before it was Chinese." Which, ethnically at least, certainly does seem like a boast.

Bloody Amateur Hour.

My Twitter account is still suspended. As a result I didn't hear about today's stabbing attack in London, UK until three hours after it happened. It is fortunate then that based on the limited information I have available it seems to require very little in the way of analysis. Britain is currently in the midst of a General Election campaign. Ahead of polling day on December 12th (12/12/19). Britain's 2017 General Election suffered from significant foreign interference. From the nations who support the Muslim Brotherhood. The parent organisation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and its various other trading names. The aspirational objective of this interference was to embarrass the governing Conservative Party. To ensure that the Labour Party formed the next government. The Labour Party still venerate their member Jo Cox. Who was lawfully killed in June 2016 due to her provision of material and moral support to ISIL and its various other trading...

November 29th 2019 (29/11/19). And it's official. The UK has remained in the EU longer than Donald Tusk.

Pretty Arrogant of Labour.

Assuming no-one would read such a large data dump. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-nhs-trade-deal-trump-corbyn-brexit-general-election-manifesto-a9219566.html In the 451 pages the NHS is only mentioned 4 times. One of which is the US side acknowledging that the NHS is too sensitive for inclusion in a trade deal. The first document in the bundle is actually about drugs the UK exports to the US. You can see why Boris Johnson doesn't want to be interviewed by Andrew Neil though. Yesterday (27/11/19) he absolutely destroyed Labour's Barry Gardiner on the issue. Reducing him to pure Vicky Pollard.

Denial. Dismissal. Deflection.

Because apparently objecting to being stabbed is racist now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-50543213 The irony is that movie is one of the few things not to have been shot in London. Mayor Sadiq Khan banned the production. He didn't want his city being linked to knife crime.

Well That Was Alarming.

On Friday (22/11/19) I did some online shopping. Which had the creepy side-effect of reminding me of almost everywhere I've ever lived. Honestly if I had the budget I'd send random things to random addresses. Just to confuse it. In this occasion I brought some distinctly unexciting coffee pods. Along with a generic mp3 player. The main attraction of which was it offered a gig of memory for just 60 pence. Let's put it this way. When you buy an iPod it comes pre-loaded with Beethoven's Shepherd's Hymn. This came pre-loaded with Blue's All Rise. Which shows that it works. Particularly the delete function. When I ordered I got a delivery date of Wednesday (27/11/19). The coffee pods turned up yesterday (23/11/19). The mp3 player turned up today. Which has got to be a new experience. A delivery being frustrating by turning up too early. I mean I got a new toy. Then I instantly had to put the new toy to one side to go to the gym. Then my father and I...

As Birmingham's affectionately known on Trip Advisor. https://news.sky.com/story/birmingham-police-called-to-reports-of-people-with-machetes-at-cinema-11868676 I think we can all agree Season 5 of Peaky Blinders was disappointing. But you try and get a show linking the Labour Party to serious and violent crime commissioned by the BBC. Although by fuelling Momentum's paranoid conspiracy theories one thing's clear; The Remainiacs are really struggling with the concept of Purdah.

I'm Spectacularly Relaxed About This.

To the point I almost forgot to comment on it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7711599/UK-set-repatriate-British-citizens-Syrian-region-ISIS-control.html We're talking about young children, below the age of criminal responsibility. Who are not accused of any specific unlawful act. Although they're now living with relatives they're actually under the care of the High Court's Family Division. Meaning they have an independent Public Guardian to protect their interests. Including from the relatives they're living with.

At the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest I talked a lot about Amazon's Fire Tablet. How they're sold at a huge loss in order to trap you into Amazon's  wider ecosystem. Although the battery lasts for ages you can only download apps etc from the Amazon marketplace. In order to get full functionality the tablet has to be signed into an Amazon account. Which is a bit of a security issued because Amazon accounts are directly linked to bank accounts. I specifically said my father can put up with reduced battery life in return for increased security. My father's tablet broke. So I helped him replace it with an Amazon Fire. Even though he doesn't have an Amazon account it's been set up with maximum security settings.

Today is a New Day.

November 18th 2019 (18/11/19). And so far that's my only contribution to it.

Today is a New Day.

November 17th 2019 (17/11/19). I'm sure though Pizzagate is just a conspiracy theory. Despite the US media's concerted effort to omit that little detail. https://news.sky.com/story/prince-andrew-denies-sex-with-17-year-old-i-went-to-pizza-express-that-day-11862902

At Least Erdogan's Consistent.

Every weekend, like clockwork, He creates another excuse to expand his empire. https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/bomb-attack-kills-at-least-18-people-in-northern-syria-31416

I Must be Really Old.

I remember when BT was a nationalised company. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/nov/15/free-broadband-essential-uk-compete-john-mcdonnell-labour-policy-openreach It was terrible. Like something out of the Soviet Union. If you wanted a second phone on the same line you had to apply to BT. If you could prove to then you needed it and received permission it would take like a year for them to install it. You couldn't buy the phone and the cable and do it yourself. Sales of those items were strictly forbidden. To protect BT's monopoly.

Trouble at Mill.

That would be one of the Labour/Lib Dem ballot mills. Not the famous Mill pub. https://news.sky.com/story/investigation-into-bolton-student-flats-fire-to-focus-on-why-it-spread-extremely-quickly-11862705 Although it shows why few details of my life are too inane. In retirement my lawyer mother has started volunteering at a residential college for overseas students studying English as a second language. Mainly to get access to the university's vast library. The session she had on Thursday (14/11/19) kept being interrupted by the fire alarm going off. Forcing them to repeatedly stand in the cold outside. Also before travelling I got the battery in my watch replaced. For the very James Bond reason that the existing battery has gone flat. Yet I was still interested in telling the time.

Memory's a Funny Thing.

This past week I've been visiting my mothers. Yesterday (15/11/19) I said that although I enjoyed the trip none of it immediately seemed to be of any geopolitical significance. That's not quite true. Even if by the time I returned I'd completely forgotten about it. Part of the issue is that it's not really my story to tell. I don't even know the full story. It's more something I overheard my mothers discussing with each other. You may remember that in November 2014 then US President Obama pledged to fix America's broken immigration system. By granting amnesty to illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. Creating the humanitarian crisis that continues to this day. This plan completely ignored the real problems with the US immigration. Which my life conveniently managed to highlight at exactly that time. I guy I went to school with went on to become a nuclear physicist. He also went on to fall in love with an American woman. Who was also a nuc...

November 16th 2019 (16/11/19). My feet were cold last night. It took me a while to realise it was because there wasn't a cat sleeping on each of them.

Did Sky News Get Trolled?

I think they did didn't they. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-50434914 Now isn't it time for a big announcement from Twitter. Something about them further reducing their revenues. By no longer selling verified status. Because; " political message reach should be earned, not bought. "

Alert the Emergency Services.

I've been visiting my mothers. You know where. It was something of a saugus or extended visit. I left on Tuesday (12/11/19) and returned, well, now really. I'll provide a fuller account in the fullness of time. When I decide what inane details are important. I mean that in the sense that I enjoyed myself. Just at the time none of it seemed to be of any immediate geopolitical significance. Although I've probably got to stop buying shoes called; "Intercepts." But in case you don't. It's where the local hospital has been selling human tissue to Porton Down. For Nerve Agent experiments. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-50346043

November 15th 2019 (15/11/19). And I've got a train to catch.

The House Needs to Think Again.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/470386-graham-blocks-resolution-recognizing-armenian-genocide-after-erdogan-meeting Responding to Erdogan's invasion of Syria's Shangri-La by recognising the Armenian Genocide is pretty pathetic. Obviously recognising that genocide is important. But it happened more than a hundred years ago. Democrats should be acting to stop the genocide that's happening now.

November 14th 2019 (14/11/19). I have to check. Corbyn does know that al-Baghdadi killed himself. After being chased down an escape tunnel by a dog. US military K9's are highly capable but they've not yet mastered handcuffs. Also battlefield prisoners are captured rather than arrested. Being classed as a Prisoner of War is dependent on you not having done anything illegal. https://news.sky.com/story/general-election-corbyn-naive-to-point-of-danger-over-national-security-johnson-11860771

November 13th 2019 (13/11/19). One of the rare occasions I'm glad there's a General Election campaign underway. It means we don't have to go through Prime Minister's Questions. Although it is a bit worrying that people who think PMQ's is politics will get to vote.

Some of Erdogan's Escapees Are on the Loose.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50390165 Anything other than arresting them and returning them to the lawful custody of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF/QSD) in Syria would be a gross violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

So Poland's Not Alone.

In denying the truth about The Devil Next Door. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/polands-prime-minister-files-complaint-netflixs-devil-next-door-1253844 Which I assume is Netflix's way of finally admitting that there are significant factual inaccuracies in 2015's "Winter In Fire." Even if they're remain a significant outlier. In not distancing themselves from the Obamas.

That's Convenient.

For weeks embittered Remainer Dominic Grieve has been railing against the Conservative Party that expelled him.

I Was Meaning to Ask.

Does Trump think this is an acceptable way to behave? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/20/world/americas/culiacan-mexico-chapo-son.html Because it's the way he's been behaving towards Erdogan and the United Turkmen Army (UTA) in Syria. Or the; "Omega Heroin Cartel" as they were portrayed in Season 2 of; "SWAT." https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/06/americas/victims-mormon-mexico-massacre/index.html Also two things about SWAT; Firstly I'm starting to think Shawn Ryan, who also produced The Unit, might have some cultural links to Turkey. Secondly it's a remake of a 1970's show of the same name. In a nod to the Bruce Lee era original to she's almost catch phrase is; "Stay liquid, full the gaps."  Although I suspect it may be less so in future.

November 5th 2019 (5/11/19). And clearly there's no point turning on a British news channel between now and October 13th (13/10/19). I honestly thought there were legal restrictions on how many party political broadcasts each party were allowed to run in each campaign.

November 2nd 2019 (2/11/19). A day where once again the playing fields of Eton have fallen short. And how many times have we heard that. Although they're so arrogant they're probably still convinced they've won. It is of course hard to discuss England Rugby without getting a little bit class war. After all Rugby League only exists because England Rugby Union fans opposed the idea of the working classes being paid. Which probably goes part of the way in explaining why Rugby Union was so popular amongst Apartheid era Afrikaners. And also explains that curious joy which is now sweeping large parts of northern England. Particularly those 150 Brexit Party seats Boris Johnson is so keen on.
