Blairism

Winston Churchill’s only crime was serving his King and our now ancestral Empire with a zeal that almost killed him.

I have taken Churchills (plural) to Mass and I refuse to believe that basset hounds at least do not have a sense of the sacred

As I have said before: the late republic story arc ends in a restored Trump pardoning the whole Biden family (esp the brother) for their many dubious activities over decades as an act of Caesarian clementia … Trump meanwhile faces several Bruti in his own ranks

When I was at university one of the white guys doing a land acknowledgement got the local tribal peoples mixed up iirc

Actually if Churchill did have a crime it was being supportive of Edward VIII during the abdication crisis in 1936 … but this was Churchill as a romantic … four years later he sent the Duke of Windsor to the Bahamas instead of interning him … Windsor was followed by the FBI

Marshal Foch was a devout Catholic, his brother was a Jesuit (when that was a generally sound vocation), and Foch’s short books on the principles of war should be mandatory reading for every Jesuit school boy

Gray Connolly Von Moltke, the German field marshal, reportedly told the Kaiser after the Marne “your majesty we have lost the war”

Yes, that and opposing any moves toward dominion status for India doomed him in the 1930s to stay in the political wilderness - reinforced to Tory grandees that he wasn’t reliable. Baldwin outplayed him on Edward VIII’s abdication and Chamberlain couldn’t stand him.

“If men are still thinking of Rome every day - as all sound men are - who is to say the empire is not still with us?”

Small PSA: I have never monetised my account. I understand some here do so but I have not. My account is mostly my filing cabinet for what I find interesting & my good/bad/awful takes are what I would say to you if we met in real life. This is a good platform, when used well.

Hereditary peers gave much needed representation to rural areas & farming v the Commons. Also a high proportion of military veterans too.

Gray Connolly I can vouch for Gray’s real-life good, bad and awful takes.

Cette dissolution absurde nous a donné une Assemblée où un gouvernement pour être stable devait être soutenu soit par JL. Mélenchon soit par M. Le Pen. Ce sera donc la seconde solution. Ce sont désormais eux les maîtres du jeu avec comme seule perspective, 2027.

The obvious dilemma that all mature adults face is how much debt can they service when they borrow money for any purpose including or especially housing … Kouk must know this

It is useful to contrast the Labour Party of Attlee (aimed at working people) with the Blair/Corbyn rump which is animated by 1970s bourgeois grievances & whatever they saw on West Wing whose pestilence spread everywhere

No adult has a *right* to a child they cannot produce on their own, but we live in a culture that routinely puts the desires of adults over the needs of children.

Bassets are the best
