This is entirely avoidable if Restore Listen and Learn.

I'd like to have some faith that the younger positive pro Britain non-boomer lot that are prevalent in the new media ACTUALLY learn the lessons of the slightly older media...the bloggers.

The slop right thinks that people don't notice that they're all over the shop on policy. They insist that policy doesn't matter, and it doesn't really matter if their politicians just fart out whatever comes to mind on any given day and don't even bother to learn what their actual policy is. Well, it turns out that that even our useless media notices.

I did mention that this is the sort of liability you need to address early on, but I was told to shut up and "get on board". Now those same people are telling me to shut up and get on board now I'm applying the same scrutiny to Restore (by the criteria set out by Rupert Lowe himself). You could hand these people what they need to avoid this kind of basic error and they'll still turn their noses up at it because they assume everyone else is as lazy and easily pleased as they are.

Beretta had this counter-UAS weapon station on display at Eurosatory. It has eight magazine-fed 12-gauge shotguns. As last ditch anti-drone efforts go, this is hard to beat.

I still laugh from time to time about a seminar I attended at Cambridge where anthropologists and moral philosophers were talking about morality in cross-cultural perspective and the subject of private property came up. After various know-it-alls suggested there was no deep basis for private property ("cultural construction"), an ethologist piped up, "Have you ever tried to take a banana from a gorilla?" and there was just dead silence for about a minute and then everyone pretended nothing had happened and just continued as they had been.

He hasn’t got a clue - he’s a socialist, they don’t do economics.

If no one stands against him he’ll be PM in less than a month.
If someone does step up (even a complete no-hoper), it buys him time to get his ducks in a row.

We could be in deep trouble here - and quickly

Pro-censorship activist groups in the UK got the Online Safety Act over the line by promising that the OSA would finish SaSu. This site got the first enforcement letter.

When the site didn't shut down, it created a political problem in the UK.

Ofcom wrote on the SaSu case today, again. They demanded a TOS update, a forced log out of all sessions globally, and payment of their fine. They also denied deliberately circumventing my client's geoblock of the UK.

This was our response.

In October 1912, while campaigning for a third term as president under the Bull Moose Party banner, Teddy Roosevelt was on his way to deliver a speech in Milwaukee when a would be assassin named John Schrank stepped out of the crowd and fired a revolver at him from point blank range. The bullet slammed directly into Roosevelt's chest.

Thankfully, it had to pass through a steel eyeglass case and a thick, 50-page folded manuscript of the very speech he was about to give, which slowed it down enough to lodge near his ribs without piercing his lungs or heart. Blood began soaking through his shirt, but Roosevelt assessed the situation. He realized he wasn't coughing up blood, so he refused immediate medical help and insisted on proceeding with the event. Standing before the stunned audience, he opened his jacket to reveal the bloodstained shirt and famously declared, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." He then went on to deliver a powerful 90-minute speech, speaking with the bullet still inside him the entire time. Only afterward did he allow doctors to examine him. The bullet remained lodged in his body for the rest of his life.

That unbreakable grit and sheer force of will defined the man who led the Rough Riders up San Juan Hill and reshaped America. Teddy Roosevelt was truly built different.

@FUDdaily @handglider3691 We need to work out how to deprogramme, tackle groupthink without the American disease of 'owning the libs' which doesn't enamour the center ground to productive politics

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

Politics is at an impasse. The country needs renewed infrastructure, cheap energy, and functioning borders, but the politicians don't want those things. They don't want to apply themselves to the detail of governing. They want to talk about Gaza and whether women can have dicks. They want to spend our money on what they view as good causes, because they think government is a redistributive NGO.

They want the social status and pay that goes with being a politician but they don't want any of the duties that go with it. They want to make sure they control the narrative and that nobody else gets a say. They become ever more authoritarian because they simply do not understand why they are despised - and put it down to anything except their own conduct. This is why politics doesn't work anymore, and this is why a total purge is the only medicine.

@FUDdaily Great Post, Mr North. In the memorable words of Brigadier General Enoch Powell MP, the greatest Englishman of the 20th century after Winston Churchill, "I say, whatever the true interests of our country calls for is always possible. We have nothing to fear but our own doubts".

[loonycat @Bengaloonatic]

Ouch

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

Yes. We could scrap the renewables directive, carbon taxes and ETS, along with CBAM, deleting also the Habitats directive thus streamlining infrastructure planning, meaning that by now we could be seeing some of the cheapest energy in Europe as opposed to the most expensive. We could have dumped the landfill directive and the recycling scam, resulting in cheaper council tax and cleaner streets.

We could have dumped the EU SPS system, to instead become a European livestock restocking reserve, deleting the wasteful veterinary inspection system to rebuild local and sustainable slaughterhouses, thereby reviving British agriculture, and we could have invested in rebooting the UK fishing fleet thereby regenerating Grimsby. Removal of state aid rules might well have saved British steel production and we could have saved our domestic fertiliser production to prevent the price of food rising.

We could also have put tariffs on food imports while subsidising east England high tech greenhouse farming running off SMR CHP desalination plants, harvested by robotics, making the UK the agriculture IP capital of the world.

Also, we could have abolished the working time directive and the minimum wage, thereby easing wage compression, and liberating the jobs market meaning more people would be employed and on better wages, especially if we got a grip on immigration.

That's just off the top of my head. We could be looking at a multi-sector economic renaissance but instead we're bankrupt socialist basketcase shackled to a corpse - all because the Brexiteers never bothered to think about post-Brexit policy and put an oaf like Boris Johnson in charge.

Russian logistics in Crimea are officially entering absolute "Mad Max" territory right now.. 🇷🇺??🔥 With the last remaining rail ferries across the Kerch Strait completely destroyed and the land bridges under non-stop drone fire, the multi-billion dollar Kerch Bridge is now sitting entirely alone in Ukraine's crosshairs!

Ever since the bridge was heavily damaged back in 2022–2023, the Kremlin hasn't dared to run heavy or hazardous cargo—like explosives and fuel trains—across the fragile rail structure. Everything had to go via the ferries. Now that those ferries are at the bottom of the sea, Russia is forced to run massive, exposed civilian truck convoys down the highway from Mariupol to Melitopol. But Ukraine was already waiting for them with their brand-new "Hornet" medium-range attack UAVs! 🐝🇺🇦

These ukrainian hornets are literally hunting down fuel tankers and logistics trucks like fish in a barrel (which perfectly explains why Russia lost a mind-boggling 626 soft vehicles yesterday alone!). Military experts note that a massive, coordinated strike on the actual Kerch Bridge is now imminent. Once the fuel starvation settles in, expect a synchronized grand finale involving ATACMS, Storm Shadows, and Magura sea drones to collapse Putin's favorite bridge once and for all. Absolute tactical masterpiece! 😂🍿

People in Texas went to this park to enjoy a peaceful environment.

Two Indians later arrived with a loudspeaker and microphone and started singing at full volume, disturbing everyone around them.

Why do they do this?

[J Stewart @triffic_stuff_]

This is INSANE! 🤦‍♂️

Harriet Harman just said, word for word:

“I would say to Keir Starmer you would be a great foreign secretary.

Let that sink in.

The most unpopular Prime Minister in British history. The man who wrecked our relationship with our biggest ally, destroyed Britain’s reputation around the world, is being proposed as FOREIGN SECRETARY!

This is how delusional these politicians are. It’s actually scary.

They fail spectacularly, embarrass the nation, tank trust, and then just bounce straight into another senior role like nothing happened. No accountability. No shame. Just the same clapped-out revolving door of failure.

How about NO!

F*ck off. Retire. Never show your face in public life again.

This is exactly why things never get better in Britain. The same out-of-touch failures keep recycling themselves while the rest of us pay the price.

Pimlico Journal is excellent but they have a real blind spot when it comes to Reform. There is no evidence that Reform "has begun to think seriously about its policy infrastructure". Their policy hires are there to create that illusion, but policy is, and forever shall be, contingent on whatever side of the bed Farage falls out of, and how bad his hangover is.

Every single "policy" is triangulated, modified or withdrawn within six months. It is a slopulist party they will run the policy tank on empty until it has a fuel emergency, whereupon in it will reach out to the usual Tory/IEA deadbeats who will recycle their decades-old tropes - none of which will stand up to the slightest scrutiny.

It's possible that dynamic might change, but having policy and knowing how to use it are two different things. Good policy informs communications, but it only works if there is internal party discipline, and a leader who bothers to learn it. That's too much like effort for Farage. You put 50p in him and point him at the nearest camera to improvise. That's all he's good for. Structured, detailed policy, is far beyond his attention span. He agrees with whoever he spoke to last, and has the memory span of a goldfish.
