A real Pink Floyd-esque image Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

Torygraph here with a backhanded acknowledgement that despite what they want to believe, small boats crossings are down…..and missing a key point. Larger boats are easier to detect and stop.

‘Once I beat a bin with a much slimmer majority than I had because I didn’t want to answer questions about corruption in my finances, and then i find myself back where I was 6 weeks ago with everyone asking the same questions…..then we will be ready for government’

I’ve read some great books this year, but this is probably the most moving and profound. And unfortunately probably more relevant now in the Western World that it has been at any time since its publication in 1946.

Even the Telegraph’s resident Catholic fundamentalist now gets it. But where is the column from their self-appointed arbiter of all scientific knowledge, climate change denialist and (bizarrely) coal mining magnate Viscount Matt Ridley?

Not only did they ‘admit they couldn’t rule it out’ they actually explicitly wrote that in a published paper entitled….er… ‘The Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2’. Unfortunately for Rand Paul, 5 years worth of subsequent research has ruled it out.

Mr Lemmy Kilmister in 1986. He had Trump, Farage et al bang to rights back then.

Well he did say he was an ‘influencer’.

Please Clacton, put a new bin in parliament

When people ask what makes you proud to be British, for me it’s things like this

Well done Belgium. The US team looked embarrassed to be there and their keeper had a shocker. Everything Trump touches dies.

Yep, it’s bright green. And smells. Except for the top 10% by the Lincoln memorial where 10 guys are desperately vacuuming up the algae. Amd when they’re done they will have to start again. $20M well spent

Although bringing Hugo Boss under the umbrella of a British company will make it far easier for Nigel Farage to get them to make uniforms for Reform

Daniel’s argument that Desert Island Discs interviewing a Nazi sympathizer 37 ya means that they should platform someone who spent his formative years idolizing Hitler and abusing Jewish schoolmates, and allies himself with protofascistic leaders around the world, is not as strong as he thinks it is

Little egret (I think) on the river Misbourne in Amersham old town this morning.

World famous naturalist and environmental activist turns 100. Vapid climate-denialist telegraph rent-a-gob can’t help making her tribute about herself.

And this is news because….we can put an unflattering picture of the ‘scummy working class lefty’ in the Telegraph to scare the readers Meanwhile Nigel Farage is on 40 B&H a day- unfortunately with none of the serious health effects yet manifest. It is true that hatred is the best preservative.

March and April have been pretty good for loud, angry and nihilistic music.

Good. Elephants 1, hunter nil. No sympathy, sorry. You go to hunt big game in their territory, thems the rules.

I dread to think what sort of infections would have zoonosed had Roid Rogers here shopped at the Huanan market

TACO say is Wednesday this week. basically Xi Jinping told him that Chinese tankers would run his blockade and what was he going to do about it. They have naval assets in Djibouti and own a fuckload of US debt. Did he want to play chicken.

That response from Pope Leo in full: Vade et futue te ipsum in nomine Patris et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

Great result incoming. Bet Viktor is glad he got JD Vance’s endorsement now.

And now we have the Israeli government explicitly indicating they will target civilians and civilian infrastructure…you know, the people who are supposed to rise up and overthrow the Ayatollahs. Be very careful which countries some of them pass through- one way ticket to The Hague for war crimes.

Given that the Telegraph has dispatched chief anti-science conspiracist editor Sarah Knapton to Cape Canaveral, it’s a wonder they aren’t reporting that the new moon mission is being faked like the last ones were.

Matt King Cole, champion of the downtrodden Chinese worker. Who knew? Ps Matt, I would rather be a member of the Lanyard Class than the Epstein Class.

Another day, another threat by little Donnie to commit a war crime because he and his intellectually challenged admin and military commanders failed to do any basic contingency planning before spaffing all their missiles up the wall.

Given the amount of arms that have been sold to KSA, perhaps they could do it if they are that fussed.

Duesberg was a real piece of work. Lost the plot completely and was hugely influential on the AIDS denialists in Thabo Mbeki’s govt. And he was prepared to go all In on this at one point www.nature.com/articles/345...
