The thing about dogs arse fruit, Nottingham Medlars in polite society, is that you need to wait until they are bletted ( that is to say gone beyond ripe towards rotten) before you pick them. Explaining that to my assistant, son and heir Joshua, made it hard to convince him to taste one.
Tonight, a kind friend is taking me to see Wrexham vs Oxford United. It really is a must win for Wrexham, yet to win a home league game this season. Natch I shall be cheering on “the town” if only to erase the pain of the last time I saw Oxford, a match where my daughter and I expected an easy win for Mighty West Ham but instead witnessed a humiliating cup thrashing.
Perhaps this article worked. Matt Western’s office has tonight acknowledge my 29 September email. This morning I published: I wrote by email to Matt Western the Labour MP for Warwick & Leamington about historic sexual abuse at Warwick School on 29th September. I have sent messages on X but all to no avail. Today I called both his constituency office and his Westminster office after 11 AM in the morning.
The fatter of our two brother and sister cats Quincey often sleeps on the ironing board on the upstairs landing. If he finds a cardboard box that might become a temporary resting place but in the darkest corner of the utility room he has a new place of sleep.
Do the Daily Mail and its reporter Sabrina Miller have no shame?
As we see Hamas gunmen return to the streets of Gaza,rounding up and executing opponents I worry. As I see hundreds of thousands of Islamists and useful idiots march through London rejecting the two state peace deal and demanding a final solution from the River to the Sea I worry. As Hamas leaders openly say they will break the Donald Trump deal agreed last week,I worry. But for now all I care about is getting the hostages living and dead back to Israel.
My grandfather, the Bennite Sir John Winnifrith, ended up as Director General of the National Trust after ending his career of unmasking spies and other jobs in the Civil Service. For more than twelve years on this website I have documented the sort of woke tomfoolery or bad history which will have had Grandpa spin in his grave.
The Green MP Carla Denyer was yesterday bleating about delays in getting Gazan students into Britain for free scholarships to British Universities saying their lives were in danger. Thanks to Donald Trump their lives in Gaza are not threatened in any way by the Jews Denyer’s party so likes to demonise, but what madness is it that this scheme, created by Labour but applauded by the Greens and Lib Dems, is going ahead at al
:My heart is full of joy that the Israeli hostages may be freed. If we do have peace in Gaza it is despite the blundering and cowardice of Macron, Starmer et al and thanks to Donald Trump. I discuss all of this and also what is happening in Ukraine where, not that the Western press report this, Russia is on a roll. Again, Starmer and European leaders only prolong the slaughter they are not changing an inevitable outcome.
It is a couple of years old but, after yesterday’s October 7 outrage on campuses across the West, still fitting
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan has a long history of tweeting antisemitic abuse. Yesterday, as you can see below, she tweeted a celebration of the biggest one day slaughter of Jews since WW2, of rape, of babies burned alive or strangled to death.
Today, I remember the worst one day slaughter of Jews since world war two, the October 7 pogrom of two years ago in Israel. 1195 people were murdered, babies, kids, women, holocaust survivors. Many of the women and girls were raped and sodomised by Hamas before being executed. Bodies such as the UN refused to see that #Metoo applied to Jewish women and denial of the atrocities Hamas themselves filmed is still widespread. Other folks were kidnapped. Still today, 20 live jews and bodies of 28 dead jews remain in tunnels under Gaza. We remember this event and we should all say Never Again. But, to Britain’s eternal shame we will not.
The odds on the next Archbishop of Canterbury being a straight white man were longer than the odds on me getting lucky with Cheryl Cole while watching West Ham win the FA Cup on the telly. And thus, today, the new leader of the Church of England has been announced….
I have named a number of paedophile teachers at my old School Warwick. My writings over the years have prompted ever more victims to come forward, another poor boy sexually abused from aged nine by a Warwick teacher, contacting me last week. It was not just one teacher there was a whole nest of active paedophiles at Warwick during my time there ( 1976 to 1986) but for at least fifteen years afterwards. I bet there were nonces preying on young boys before I arrived.
The recognition of a Palestinian State will cost hostages their lives, bring no peace is logically incoherent and will only assist Hamas win the support of more Palestinians for terror. It is a day of national shame for Britain.
