Al Green[x]It is worth reading this nice post by Carl Benjamin on X in reply to Dan Hodges:"People actually should have a right to lie, Dan, such as saying "men can become women", and whatnot. This is what makes the morality of lying even exist: you can do it but you shouldn't, and therefore it becomes a moral choice. All of morality hinges on the right to choose between right and wrong and making the correct choice.Moreover, being incorrect ought not to be a crime, not only because that is an insane and Orwellian, but it shifts discourse into a paradigm we don't fully understand.It used to be that we would engage in a dialectic through which truth could be identified by correcting mistakes, which requires someone to have the right to be incorrect, or even lie.Without that process, how do you even know that you've reached the truth? How can you know you aren't deluded if your statements are just assumed to be true? What if you're wrong and you had called the truth the lie, and outlawed anyone from speaking it?Moreover, why do you think you have the right to command the words another person may or may not use?You are plotting for us an insane and dystopian future, and you don't even realise why its evil."This is the dialogue you find on X and the reason why Labour want to control it....Daily Telegraph

The nice thing is that the majority of bankers are philanthropists and donate large percentages of their bonuses to charitable causes, such as the long suffering shipbuilding industry, who gain from making multi-million pound luxury yachts, the stuggling luxury car market and Monaco based hotel chains.

I have come to the conclusion that anything which keeps kids off their mobile phones can only be good - including breakdancing

Justice. Two-tier justice administered by the Elite Scott FreeI saw something quoted in this newspaper yesterday that concerns me greatly. A young man had pleaded that he was just standing "on the periphery" watching what was going on, as people committed crimes. The Judge, remanding the young man into custody, said that even a "casual observer" of such things could expect to punished, presumably with jail.At what point in our law did it become an offence to witness a crime being committed? I see people committing crimes every time I get in my car. Is my "casual observance" of that, a crime in itself? I have, on more than one occasion, seen people trying to break into property and violence committed against persons. Am i guilty of a crime? Am I not allowed to observe what goes on in MY streets? I am not well versed in law but that just does not smell right.On a slightly different tack, if this young man was of the ethnicity of the two who attacked police in Manchester, left wing, human rights lawyers would be all over it. I imagine this lad got the local legal aid failure who can barely stay awake, advising him just to plead guilty.Anomalous GrandeReply to Scott FreeMartin Daubney from GB News while reporting on events was recently arrested in similar circumstancesNicholas MillmanReply to Anomalous GrandeAnd handcuffed which in the circumstances was an unnecessary use of force....Daily Telegraph

It's her spiritual journey, among many other journeys, scruff - not yours. Think yourself lucky that she wants to include you because there may well come a day where she doesn't and that's when we seniors start to feel all the more irrelevant.
