I notice that both the Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police have made a joint statement about the Bondi Beach attack, which statement has been treated as major news by BBC News, Sky News etc.
Why?
This was an attack by two individuals, and on the other side of the world.
Seems to be a further weaponization of the Bondi Beach attack, with the aim of further eroding free speech in the UK. The beneficiaries are supposed to be the Jews, Israel, and the agencies of the UK state.
This comes only a day or so after the proposals, by the ludicrous Lammy and the Starmer-stein Labour Friends of Israel government, for police-state repression of free speech in relation to Islam and Muslims.
The weaponization of the Bondi Beach attack is becoming very obvious to anyone not asleep.
Meanwhile, the [Israeli] Jews continue their slaughter and repression of the unfortunate Arab Palestinians in Gaza, with little interest now shown by the news media in the UK.

White people have been subjected to this for decades and nothing has been done when we’ve been the victims of terror.
You are јеԝіѕh and your loyalty is to that group and to lsraeI.
Do you support non-јеԝіѕh migration to lsraeI? I bet you don't, and yet it sounds as though you're OK with migration to White homelands unless they're a threat to your group.
In a “free society”, it is absurd; in a repressive police state, into which the UK is fast changing, par for the course.

I know the kind of people who become judges in this country. Most are not fit to judge these sorts of cases, by reason of their entrenched multikulti views.
Reading the Daily Mail report, I get the impression (from the very brief extract, so I am guessing a little) that Yarwood’s Counsel did not exactly pull out all the stops in his concluding address to the trial judge.
Why was the Vice Chancellor of Nottingham Trent university —which was in a £2 million deficit—paid a staggering £435,000 ?
Why are many vice chancellors paid more than the prime minister?
I agree with that. I think I blogged once before about the rather nice (though also rather spoiled) young blonde (aged about 20) whom I met about 25 years ago, and whose father (whom she mentioned rather a lot) was the Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster University; she told that me his salary was (I forget the exact amount) in the hundreds of thousands of pounds a year (even then, in 2000). Pretty ridiculous.

That should disqualify him from having any ministerial role on its own. Instead, he’s been totally coddled within the lifelong safety of public sector and left leaning think tank / NGO type roles, that have prepared him for the mind bendingly retarded policies he now either helps formulate or defends. You should have 30 years+ market experience before you even think about a senior role in HMT or advising the Exchequer. This is why the country is so utterly fucked. We have for at least ~3 decades now had an army of Dan’s running the major apparatus of state. They all float effortlessly between “think tanks” and other policy making and paid writing gigs without ever seeing a tax they didn’t like or a “rich person” they didn’t need to pay more tax. They drive the enshittification of the country through their complete lack of understanding on anything and a totally misguided sense of righteousness and ideology. Terminally linear in thought, they lack the mental acuity or ability to create value or yield in any way, common sense eludes them entirely, they can barely understand the first order consequences of their actions, let alone the second and third. The system attracts and retains the very least suited people in the country to making big economic decisions because anyone with any talent heads directly into the private sector. The system by default selects for retards, and they fail upward because the public sector, without the brutal feedback loops of the private sector, rewards survival over success. The compound effect of this is an embedded pseudo intelligentsia of “Intellectual Yet Idiots” on a never ending carousel of different ministerial roles. They are allowed 1-3 years of experience in one department and by the time they start to grasp the basics they are scurried along to the next department; “ok now you’ve got the basics of agriculture fancy having a go as defence minister?” Until we remove these Fabian saboteurs from the civil service, judiciary, NGOs, think tanks and other governmental and policy forming bodies, things will only get worse in the UK. It’s as guaranteed as their jobs despite abject performance.“]

“She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.
[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]
The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.
Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.
“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.”

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.
“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”
A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.“

…and, surprise surprise, she was not black, not even brown…
Remember the “woke” fakery around “Cheddar Man” a decade ago, and the (later disproven) claim that he was (and so ancient Britons generally were) of “black” race? Or the assertions by Mary Beard and others that some of the Roman soldiers in Britain were “black”?
At least no-one has tried to impose more such ideologically-driven fakery on this new material.

“In 1943, amid the devastating final years of World War II, the Berlin Zoo was heavily bombed, leaving much of the zoo in ruins and many of its animals in grave danger. Among the survivors was a Shoe-billed stork, an unusual and majestic bird recognized for its unique, shoe-shaped bill and stately demeanor. With the zoo’s facilities destroyed, the stork found an unlikely refuge in a nurse’s bathroom, a small but safe haven where it was cared for during the chaos of war. The nurse’s bathroom became a sanctuary for the bird, symbolizing the compassion and determination of those who worked to protect the zoo’s animals despite the dire circumstances. The stork’s survival depended on the care it received in this improvised setting, where it was fed and tended to with limited resources. This poignant scene of a wild, exotic bird in a domestic, human space emphasized the extraordinary lengths people went to preserve life during a time when destruction seemed all-encompassing. The survival of the Shoe-billed stork and its temporary shelter in the nurse’s bathroom became a powerful symbol of resilience and hope amidst the horrors of war. While much of the zoo was destroyed and many animals were lost, stories like this highlight the small acts of care and humanity that endured even in the darkest hours. The stork’s journey is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals and serves as a reminder of the fragments of hope that can emerge even in times of overwhelming devastation.“

“The subterranean city of Derinkuyu, located in Cappadocia region of Türkiye, an extraordinary historical site with the capacity to house an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 people, including their livestock and supplies. Its discovery occurred unexpectedly in 1963 when a homeowner accidentally broke through a wall in his basement, unveiling an ancient and intricate underground structure hidden for centuries. Derinkuyu is an impressive multi-level complex, descending over 200 feet below the surface and consisting of at least 18 levels, though only a portion of it has been fully excavated. The city features an array of functional spaces, including living quarters, kitchens, storage areas, wine and oil presses, stables, and even chapels and schools. Ventilation shafts and a sophisticated water system ensured the city’s inhabitants could survive underground for extended periods. Defensive mechanisms, such as heavy stone doors that could be rolled into place, protected the city from invaders. Historians and archaeologists believe Derinkuyu was initially constructed by the Phrygians or Hittites in the early centuries BCE, though it was later expanded and used by various groups, including early Christians, as a refuge from persecution or attacks. Its design reflects the ingenuity and resilience of the civilizations that relied on such cities for survival during times of conflict or environmental challenges. The discovery of Derinkuyu has spurred interest in Cappadocia’s extensive network of underground cities, many of which remain unexplored. These ancient marvels continue to captivate researchers and visitors alike, shedding light on the innovative ways humans adapted to their environment and safeguarded their communities.“

“Recruits to the castle-convents scattered across Teutonic territory primarily hailed from Germanic regions such as Franconia, Thuringia, the Rhine, and other German territories. These knights, often aristocrats but also comprising lower-ranking members, were stationed in commanderies housing anywhere from 10 to 80 individuals. Similar to other military orders, recruits pledged monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Joining offered prospects of spiritual rewards, adventure, career advancement, and even basic amenities like regular meals and shelter. While German settlers were permitted entry, they typically served as priests or half-brethren. Each castle-convent also accommodated local crossbowmen, as well as non-combatants like servants and craftsmen. Although officially international, the order predominantly drew recruits from German lands. Membership numbers varied, influenced by battles and territorial shifts. For instance, Prussia counted 700 members in 1379 AD, 400 in 1450 AD, 160 in 1513 AD, and 55 in 1525 AD. The total knightly roster likely never exceeded around 1,300. The order’s revenue stemmed from wartime spoils, captured territories, trade, land rents, and donations in cash, goods, or land. Some brethren paid an entry fee, while taxes on local populations were imposed in Teutonic territories by the 15th century AD. As recruitment challenges grew, the order increasingly relied on mercenaries, necessitating financial support. Commanderies not only offered training, residences, and retirement options but also extended aid to local communities through hospices, hospitals, schools, and cemeteries. Additionally, the order constructed churches, providing ongoing maintenance and fostering artistic endeavors for embellishment.“
I once knew a German lady from East Prussia, one of whose several historically-distinguished ancestors was a Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages.

“The Lion Man – An Ice Age Masterpiece : The Lion Man is a masterpiece. Sculpted with great originality, virtuosity and technical skill from mammoth ivory, this 40,000 year-old image is 31cm tall. It has the head of a cave lion with a partly human body. He stands upright, perhaps on tiptoes, legs apart and arms to the sides of a slender, cat-like body with strong shoulders like the hips and thighs of a lion. His gaze, like his stance, is powerful and directed at the viewer. The details of his face show he is attentive, he is watching and he is listening. He is powerful, mysterious and from a world beyond ordinary nature. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in physical form but symbolises ideas about the supernatural.
Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany in 1939, the Lion Man makes sense as part of a story that might now be called a myth. The wear on his body caused by handling suggests that he was passed around and rubbed as part of a narrative or ritual that would explain his appearance and meaning. It is impossible to know what that story was about or whether he was deity, an avatar to the spirit world, part of a creation story or a human whose experiences on a journey through the cosmos to communicate with spirits caused this transformation. Obviously, the story involved humans and animals. Lion Man is made from a mammoth tusk, the largest animal in the environment of that time and depicts the fiercest predator, a lion, now extinct, that was about 30 centimetres taller than a modern African lion and had no mane. Distinct from other animals through their use of tools and fire, humans were nonetheless dependent on some animals for food while needing to protect themselves from predators. Perhaps this hybrid helped people to come to terms with their place in nature on a deeper, religious level or in some way to transcend or reshape it.
Archaeological discoveries in other caves in this region include small sculptures as shown in the British Museum’s 2013 exhibition Ice Age art: arrival of the modern mind. They were found in caves with large quantities of stone tools and animal bones that indicate people lived in the shelter of the daylight areas of these sites for repeated periods of time.
Stadel Cave, where the Lion Man was found, is different. It faces north and does not get the sun. It is cold and the density of debris accumulated by human activities is much less than at other sites. This was not a good place to live. Lion Man was found in a dark inner chamber, carefully put away in the darkness with only a few perforated arctic fox teeth and a cache of reindeer antlers nearby. These characteristics suggest that Stadel Cave was only used occasionally as a place where people would come together around a fire to share a particular understanding of the world articulated through beliefs, symbolised in sculpture and acted out in rituals.
Lion Man is the oldest known evidence for religious beliefs and Stadel Cave suggests that believing and belonging have a deep history crucial to human societies and originating long before writing. In 2017, UNESCO acknowledged Stadel Cave and other Swabian localities as World Heritage Sites of importance to all humanity and now Ulm Museum has loaned this important sculpture to the British Museum for the exhibition.”
“The candidate for Chancellor of Germany Alice Weidel has called for the restoration of relations and economic ties with Russia The election program of Alternative for Germany includes points about the need to lift sanctions on Russia to allow free trade. Additionally, according to members of the AfD, it is necessary to repair the Nord Stream pipeline, which supplied Russian gas to Europe. “We want to end the sanctions policy, which primarily harms our country,” Weidel said. She reminded that just two years ago, Germany was buying cheap natural gas from Russia through Nord Stream, but now the country has “the highest energy prices in the world.”

Boris Johnson put mass uncontrolled immigration on steroids and should never be allowed anywhere near frontline politics again.
I thought, when he was not nominated (plainly at his own request) for a fake peerage that Johnson, aka “Boris”-idiot, had it in mind to stand for leader again.
Were Johnson to get some sympathetic Con MP to stand down in his favour, Johnson might well win a safe-seat by-election.
Why would any MP do that? In return for a promise of getting a peerage later. That would not require Johnson to be Prime Minister, because the Leader of the Opposition also has peerage-nomination rights.
Johnson would then have to wait (probably) until November 2025 before at least 15% of Con MPs send in letters of no-confidence in “Carpetbagger Kemi” Badenoch. That means 18 MPs, as matters stand. That would happen. Con MPs know that Kemi Badenoch is a total turn-off for most voters, sure to lose the next general election and, thus, a number of seats.
Then, all Johnson would need would be a small number of MPs (in the 2024 leadership election, the number was 10 MPs) to nominate him as a candidate (quite likely possible).
Opinion polls of 2024 Con-voting people show that Johnson is far more popular (despite his evident unfitness to hold office, despite his total incompetence) than Kemi Badenoch.
I may even place a bet on “Boris” to be next Con Party leader. The odds, though, are not too generous, below 5/1. Maybe I shall lose my money elsewhere…
As Matt Goodwin says, though, Johnson was disastrous as PM (and, before that, as Foreign Secretary), and at present the Con Party is hovering around or below 20% in the opinion polls.

Semi-literate, but surely accurate.
It has been forecast in the past and not quite happened, but I truly feel that the once-great Conservative Party is now finally going the same way as the old 19thC/20thC Liberal Party. Terminal decline.
The Con vote in (?) 2029 (and assuming that a nuclear war has not happened by then anyway) may be as low as 15%.
It would also mean Reform UK getting 330 Commons seats, an overall majority, and thus being able to form the next Government of the UK. If that then ended badly, social nationalism could finally arise. God mote it be.
