The incredible heat and climate change has woken me early this morning, I’ve had two extreme weather notifications from the MET weather app this week, ditching BBC apps still doesn’t free me from this nonsense.

Following on from Rupert Lowe’s, privately funded rape gang enquiry, undertaken due to that the currently lefty socialists in power and the legendry faaaaaar right that preceded them, turned a blind eye and in some blamed the victims decided/voted that an enquiry wasn’t needed for reasons known to themselves, some of the even further left insufferable CCMB socialists have made their decision that the issue is moot and that Lowe is in it for himself, I kind of agree with this as Lowe is just another political narcissist and IMO saying the right words to keep the divisions bubbling along tickety boo, but narcissist or not and IMHO, an independent (is this even possible?) is needed. So, we can get to the bottom of this scandal and prosecute if guilty, just like the Grenfell Tower Inquiry rooted out and prosecuted those largely responsible for 72 deaths. (Like F**K)

If you go along with the analogy of the insufferable, off the cliff CCMB socialists and that “people!” do things because of mean tweets on the internet, a “PATRIOT” sic!! In Scotland using his ceremonial machete decided it would be a good idea in the name of harmony go about looking for Muslim victims as an act of revenge resulting in, at the moment 5 people being injured.

In another Bizarre “perfectly normal” incident, we have an alleged case of a 3-year-old lad finding himself in a crocodile enclosure, allegedly a 30-year-old man is helping police with their enquiries from the comfort of his armchair as he’s been released on bail. Those with young children know very well that children at this age, have no or little fear and are quite capable of wandering off putting themselves in danger whilst their responsible guardian is far too busy gorping into their phone looking at the latest Tik Tok to notice anything. You would think of course that a crocodile enclosure is fully enclosed!

Not so Bizarre but possibly sinister? is that the news has just informed us that previously banned puberty blockers for U-18’s in the UK (Exceptions exist), that a trial is planned to include children around 11-12, the same children who are going to be excluded from social media ( and possibly rightly so IMO). What could go wrong with this!!!

We also have some run of the mill stuff, A teacher convicted of abusing and murdering a toddler, A 17‑year‑old stabbed to death in London (Battersea), a train crash near Bedfordshire.

This morning I’m reading that Starmer is preparing to leg it and whilst this should be good news, it is tempered by that a Davos attendee /WEF profile, is the favorite to replace him so maybe it’s the better the devil you know scenario, It is reported that alleged tax dodger, I only paid because I was caught Ange would be a victim in the shake up, so some good news if the changing of the guard happens.

International News.
As ODNI Gabbard leaves office to look after her old man, (or sacked if you lean left) she drops the nuke of de-classification reference the Covid era, surprisingly my daily go to, BBC and Guardian seem a little short here, and the major US networks are also wearing Stevie Wonder glasses, deciding that algae in the reflective pool needs the wall-to-wall coverage. I’m hearing that there is a bloke smoking his pipe in Pontlotyn this morning that has debunked the tranche of declassified docs and has unilaterally decided that the documents are wrong and it wasn’t allegedly released from Chyna and that Mr. Science didn’t lie in congressional hearings, and the presidential pardon signed by an auto pen is a nothing to see here moment, neither is the previous declassification of the Ukrainian bio labs cosher as well. The bloke in Pontlotyn is obviously wasting his talents debunking official documents on a football forum for the tin foil brigade and should be offering his services to established honorable news outlets so that his talent can be appreciated by all, and not just potbellied, follicly challenged booming gammons.

On a lighter note,
WC 2026, this tournament was been widely forecast (and hoped by the usual crew) to be a disaster and being straight to the point, because of Trumps Merica, I did think this myself and its not been a secret in my family that Merica has been off the radar in recent years for holiday because of the way it has been portrayed by MSN and on SM, The football itself has been a slow start but it’s now picking up a little, the crowds especially for dead duck rubbers have surpassed expectations. However, the fans from the majority of participants have flocked over there in very good numbers and to the disgust of the usual crew are posting on SM how fantastic a place it is particularly in the South, with the hospitality they receive and FFS they get massive portions of steak!!!, to be honest when we went to Texas, the meal portions were off putting, you can just leave it I know!!, because of the gun culture predominantly in the south you have to hope that fans keep their sense about them when getting pissed up. If and a big if, the tournament ends with no major problems and with the continuing positive stories from visiting fans, that the continual negativity portrayed by the usual suspects isn’t reflective of day-to-day life in Merica, another trip could well be considered, particularly somewhere along the lines of Nashville.

Watch yourself today guys, plenty of sun cream, sun glasses, water and floppy hats.

Caveat!! all this happened and worse in the 80's i know, but we just didn't have SM to tell us and were thus oblivious to it.
