Have a look through X feeds at what’s happening in Paris and other European cities and tell me the so-called “far-right” populists or “white nationalists” are the real terrorist threat.

Is Kemi Badenoch courting voters who aren’t there and scorning the ones who are? I've written about the need for realism on the "right". Link in replies.

All of this nonsense about Russia targeting the EU referendum to get Britain out is such BS. For them, the UK staying in a failing self indulgent and disintegrating EU disaster would be a positive. Just look at what’s happening in the EU now. It’s a massive fail. Europe is sadly an embarrassment to the great men who built this civilisation (and Russia was part of that.)

I saw this brilliant video a few months ago- no surprise that Taylor Swift beat it to victory at the 2026 MTV VMAs. Which is an endorsement for GENER8ION.

The Norman Path, Hastings. Council heritage trail. Bayeux Tapestry style. Pride flags in 11th-century hands. A living version of this Marxist observation:
“History is politics projected into the past.” Mikhail Pokrovsky. These people are very serious. This is a focused agenda to destroy Western Civilisation.

Happy birthday Buddy. We are so proud of you. I can’t believe you are nine years old. Wishing you and us many years ahead via 10k daily walks in Kensington Gardens with me and squirrel hunting and great love from your family who would be lost without you. As Mr Spock said: live long and prosper - my great friend. I love you.

England rowed with the pope all the time. Disagreement over appointments, money, who tried clerics. That’s Fine. That isn’t the same as never being in the Latin church.
After Augustine and Whitby the English church was using Roman-rite liturgy and treating itself as part of the West. Becket and King John and Praemunire are fights over power, not evidence that England had left Rome.
The 1054 angle doesn’t work either. That split was Rome and Constantinople. England stayed with the Latin side for centuries after that.
Cranmer did lift a lot from Sarum for the great Prayer Book, that’s true. Sarum was still Salisbury doing the Roman rite with local nuances, not some ancient English church from before Rome showed up. The Reformation made a national church separate from Rome. It didn’t put things back to 596. (And I’m now blocked by Remnant, hence the screen shot - sad)

I’ve always been fascinated by the story of Padre Pio, and today is his feast day. @emuse1955 is in my view is one of the most impressive young apologists for miracles. This longish video in the replies makes the case for Padre Pio and his stigmata.

The huge push to show videos on X of crazy Yemeni men using khat is so obviously an op. All the usual accounts are accelerating this. Political social media is fascinating and lame.

And this is one of several reasons why I will never do parkour. You can get it just right 100 times in a row, but that one time you miss or slip, its Goodnight Irene. Its a seamless transition between parkour and painkour. 🫣💥🩺🩻🩼

I enjoyed this by @MarinaHyde. “Those who make money off Diana’s memory tend to do so with the total conviction that it’s what she would have wanted”.

I’ve enjoyed watching the Vuelta (highlights) this year - Brennan is so impressive and great to see a Brit performing so well.

Glad the wonderfully civilised “carnival” has finally ended. My front door yesterday. No other event with hundreds of arrests, knives, drugs and the sad deaths along with business, police and local family costs would be tolerated. But we’re supposed to think this is great. It’s not. It’s ridiculous.

“Pig iron production up. Woodchip exports up. Blue t-shirt sales up. North Number Ten is glorious economic powerhouse! Not poor and lazy like those dogs from South Number Ten!”

When you see all the boats arriving packed with illegal immigrants, remember the actual extreme power the govt could muster immediately it decided to lock down the whole country due to “Covid”. The power is there, the willingness to use it is absent. Which suggests this invasion of Europe isn’t seen as a problem. Or is perhaps even welcomed. See also Ceuta today. We are accelerating into very dangerous times.
