Liz's book...

Well colour me pink, but I have to say that Liz is certainly original in adopting wholesale US republican party ideology as something that is missing in the United Kingdom.  Let's be clear to play the offended virgin when the Tories have been wheeling the stick for the better part of the last 12 years, is a bit rich.

Granted Liz's vision of conservativism is far far to the right.  She was always attractive to the lunatic fringe and did well, even got nominated as Prime Minister until the MP realized that she was a little nuts.  But, to this day, she remains popular with the grassroots.  Her favourite constituents are those who both complain about passport controls when they go to the continent and yet are firm supporters of shutting our borders.   The rest was a blueprint from an American born-again Christian right who seems to be unable to understand anything in the bible...granted that is not really how it works here but in Liz's febrile mind it is the blueprint she chooses to follow.

I guess that she is setting the stage for her comeback after the current prime minister finds greener pastures.  She and Boris are certain to seek that job all over again.   

As a matter of cultural anthropology, Liz's book is mildly interesting, considering that the vast majority of its social markers fall well outside the norms of ordinary Tories, and really play in the patch that was long inhabited by Marry Whitehouse and Katy Hopkins.   Aside from that it is a "copy-paste" of the US Republican Party's more loonie positions.   She even used the term RINO, which is really not part of the British lexicon.   

My advice, there are certainly more interesting things to do than read that book, may I suggest watching paint dry?

Note:   If you are curious, the book was a gift, from friend, who got it from Liz directly...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
