On the BBC Radio 4 yesterday, UN spokesman Tom Fletcher claimed that as a result of the evil Israeli blockage of Gaza 14,000 babies would starve to death within 48 hours. The BBC, naturally, offered no push back on this claim initially.
For fifty years anyone questioning any aspect of record immigration has been branded by the liberal left as a racist. Now Labour says that you can ask the question and still be a good person. That volte face is down to the rise of Reform UK and it is not convincing. I discuss various things that we can only now talk about but am left with more questions than answers.
I see no reason why I should ever take any lecture on morality from Tory MP Bernard Jenkin, a man ordered to repay back £63,250 of expenses claimed for renting a second home from his sister in law. But today on BBC Radio 4 he was lecturing us all about how Russia has no right to celebrate Victory Day today 9th May.
The metropolitan liberal elitists as the BBC despise the MCC, the private club that owns Lords, almost as much as they despise working class folks who vote for Reform UK. Today is the AGM of the MCC, of which I am a member, and our club wants to flagellate itself for being sexist. The BBC cannot get enough of it, if only the MCC was to admit that it was racist and homophobic too and that it had been damaged by Brexit.
Aged 4, daughter Jaya is being told to celebrate VE day at school today. I tried to explain what VE Day meant but could not in full. Aged 23, eldest daughter Olaf says she has no interest in family history. So for both of them when they grow up , here is my family and WW2: Churchill’s bunker, Arctic convoys, a Spitfire pilot and a Normandy hero, two deaths, Operation Mincemeat (covered in more detail here), a leg lost in Egypt, evacuations and at one step removed, the Air Vice Marshall on D Day, the executed Nazi who was half Jewish and the fortunate Hungarian Jew. I hope that, one day, my kids if nobody else, will find this interesting.
I doubt that either of these unconnected commentaries will win me any friends but both are highly topical and I’d rather go to my grave speaking the truth, discussing hard facts then saying nothing. The Christopher Booker/Cape Town water shortage reference is HERE
Back in the days when, as a supportive straight, I marched against Clause 28, in the days of Aids stigma the LGBT community had a tough time. Discrimination was widespread. But thankfully times have changed. Outside certain other minority communities who might not understand Queers for Palestine, the UK is a pretty tolerant place.
With almost everything at the Greek Hovel fixed, I headed into the village of Kambos for supper opting to go to the ouzerie opposite the olive press. 4 Euro for two skewers of pork drizzled in lemon, what a bargain. Sitting outside, in the cold night air was my friend Vangelis and two old geezers who greeted me warmly. But inside…
I have so far named two paedophile teachers from my time at Warwick School: Alan Wilkins , who is dead, and Charles Watmough who is alive and who I tried to doorstep a year ago. In both cases Warwick covered up what it knew and allowed both nonces to move on to fresh fields without a stain on their character. Wilkins, I believe, carried on noncing in Harrogate while Watmough gave private piano lessons to kids in Scarborough. That is Warwick’s shame. Last night a chap from the year below me got in touch having read this website.
English Rugby seems to be a financial mess. As an Ireland supporter I cannot say that I shed many tears and my Welsh speaking younger kids will be delighted about this. These days Wales supporters have little to cheers so allow them this rare dose of schadenfreude.
As you can see, I have a co-worker. While I hammer away at my keyboard he has been sitting here all day quietly dozing away. It is a hard life for some.
LinkedIn suggests to me about once a day a job that I might wish to apply for and have suitable skills for. Very rarely are they posts that I’d have the slightest interest in but today’s suggestion takes the biscuit. Would I fancy working as a Senior Advisor on Peace & Security at…
You may remember the grotesquely anti semitic mural on Brick Lane in London’s East End which Jeremy Corbyn liked so much. It seems those bearded hipsters, and that is just the women, have done it again as you can see below.
On days like this I am 100% convinced that this will be my last ever Sharestock. I just feel rotten. But the Shipmans insisted this morning that if I keep taking the medicine but in ever larger doses I will have a new lease of life, albeit one that involves shooting up every day and so never say never. We shall see. Anyhow I am working hard to make 6 September 2025 a bumper day and we have a new speaker to announce…
The idea came from daughter Olaf who had this ice cream in Tuscany, the sort of place young ladies from Islington go to on holiday. Joshua says it tastes amazing. Have you guessed yet?
