I have not skated for nearly 30 years, and was never much good anyway. Seems a lifetime ago now.

Quite nice scenery, though frankly I have seen better.
I examined the wildlife of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone on the blog years ago:
That interference would make little impact were a goodly part of the Iranian population not thoroughly tired of the socially and religiously backward rule of the mullahs (in power for the past 46 years).
If Iran falls, though, a major threat to the Jew-Zionist regime of Israel, and the worldwide Jew-Zionist web, will also fall. For that reason alone, I hope that the admittedly unpleasant Iranian regime survives, at least for a while.
[“Donald Trump was once again caught in a lie So in a recently published interview, Trump claims that during the seizure of the oil tanker “Mariner”, “Russian ships retreated very quickly” as soon as the Americans arrived, however, there were no Russian ships in the area, as shown by monitoring services. The only statements suggesting otherwise came from some Western media outlets, which were later refuted. Then follows a second, even more blatant lie: Trump claimed that the oil was being unloaded. This did not happen. The tanker was empty. This is clearly visible in the photo published by the US European Command and is confirmed by numerous media reports, which say the same thing.“]
Hard to know what to believe, but it is hard to imagine why the Americans would seize an oil tanker empty of any oil, unless their intelligence was mistaken (or unless the operation is just shadow-boxing).
Whatever the truth of that, the fact remains that this action is state piracy. How can that be denied?
It is a modern example of the actions of Francis Drake and others some 400 years ago, or of the actions of British and German “surface raiders” during the two 20thC world wars: see

What happens if Russia starts to seize ships flying U.S. colours?
Performative, of course, but it does show that he is in good health.
Is this justice?

Two “idiot” brothers left a teenage girl critically injured while racing each other at 90mph, a court has heard.
Harrison Taylor, 19, and his 21-year-old brother Henry were racing on the Sandbanks peninsula in Poole, Dorset, when the incident happened at around 1am on Boxing Day in 2023. Harrison was in a Mercedes A200 and his older brother in a BMW 135i. The court heard the brothers had been gifted the powerful cars to help them get over their parents splitting up.
The court heard Harrison was going “pedal to the metal” when he lost control of the Mercedes on a bend and collided with a gatepost of a multi-million pound mansion. The BMW then ploughed into the back of the Mercedes, sending it flying forwards into a garden wall.
Mia Savage, a front seat passenger in the Mercedes, was trapped in the crumpled vehicle and had to be cut free from the wreckage as her mother, who had been called to the scene of the accident, watched on. The girl, who was 17 at the time, was airlifted to hospital with life-changing injuries that included a shattered left femur, a fractured neck, broken arm, eight broken ribs and severe internal bleeding from a severed spleen, split diaphragm and liver laceration.
The teen underwent hours of complex surgery and was in an induced coma for a week. She was then in traction for her arms and one of her legs and had a fixed neck brace for 12 weeks.
She also lost out on a sports scholarship at the private Clayesmore School due to her injury. Following her ordeal, she was unable to return to school for months and ended up with lesser grades which meant she was not accepted at her chosen university.
The two brothers pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and arrived at Bournemouth Crown Court today, but they avoided being sent to jail. Judge Robert Pawson let them off with suspended sentences due to their young ages and previous good character. He banned them from driving for three years.
Miss Savage’s mother Karen Bulgarelli, a lawyer, said she was disappointed with the outcome. She said: “They have ruined three people’s lives but they are all clapping each other on the back that they’re walking out.”

Regular readers of the blog will know that I am far from a “hanger and flogger”, and there is certainly a place, often a place, for leniency and/or mercy in sentencing, but the victim in the instant case has been disrespected, and not given at least the satisfaction that the perpetrators have been punished.
While hearing what the learned judge said relating to the youth, clean record, and absence of alcohol/drug usage by the defendants, their egregious behaviour has left a relatively-innocent victim in a poor condition, and with far poorer prospects than was the case prior to the “accident”.
Had I ever become a judge, I should (I think) have been generally clement, but not in a case of this sort, so the defendants in this case are lucky that they were sentenced by the judge mentioned, and not by me.

Never believe a word “they” say.

How much more would that be the case were there to be —however installed— a real social-national government? There would have to be a chistka of very large proportions— a removal from employment, and perhaps from general society, of many thousands of saboteurs.
No-one on that list can be trusted for a moment.
The malicious “CAA” Jewish cabal is a semi-volunteer (some get paid, too) arm of the Israeli Embassy in London. Falter and “Slitherman” are both liars and perjurers.
Use the search box on the blog for much much more.
There has recently been a whole line of victories for various people over both of the main malicious Jew-Zionist nuisance-orgs, “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].
I apprehend that the judiciary, CPS, and even the often-woodentopped police, are waking up to the lying/perjuring Jewish “lawfare” in which those organizations indulge; abuse of the UK legal and justice systems for tribal socio-political motives.
Parochially-minded Hampstead barrister thinks that a pitiful and, in reality, unelected regime such as that of Starmer-stein can control and censor globally-operating American tech companies, and also have influence over the policies of the Russian and Chinese governments.
Were I to hit the Euromillions, Persian carpets might be one of the few types of extravagance in which I might indulge (though not in such a bright colour).
Goodnight Vienna NATO…
