“A mouse has been filmed secretly tidying up a man’s shed almost every night for two months.
Wildlife photographer Rodney Holbrook noticed that objects he left out of place were being mysteriously put back where they belonged overnight.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the mouse was tidying up,” Holbrook said.
“He moved all sorts of things into the box, bits of plastic, nuts and bolts. I don’t bother to tidy up now, as I know he will see to it. I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning. Ninety-nine times out of 100 the mouse will tidy up throughout the night.”

Remarkable. Like something from a fairy tale or one of the Brothers Grimm stories.
I hope that the man leaves the mouse a little bit of cheese or some nuts occasionally.
“The study, by the thinktank British Future, projects that the number of ethnic minority MPs is most likely to rise from 65 to as many as 83, with much of this rise expected whatever the actual outcome of the election.
If the number of ethnic minority MPs does reach 75 or more, it will have increased fivefold in a decade and a half, having been just 15 out of 650 in the 2005 to 2010 parliament.“

White people (the people formerly termed “British”) are being removed from Parliament too now. What will be the proportion, both in the population and/or in the House of Commons (and the Lords) by 2030, 2040, 2050? Over-representation in Parliament will be plainly obvious, I think.
In any case, this is the British Parliament, and should only have fully British —in every sense— MPs and (so long as the upper house exists) peers.
Worth reading. I have been writing the same, or similar, about the “Atlas Network” (or “Group”) on the blog for years. As always, others are late to the party.
Monbiot somehow leaves out the fact that the sinister Antony Fisher was a fervent Zionist…

What do you expect? Import this or that national or ethnic group, and you import with them their customary behaviours, and it matters not a jot that they or their offspring were born in, say, Southampton rather than Bombay, or that they attended Winchester, or Eton, or Oxford University.

“US Treasury Secretary Jeannette Yellen, who is on a visit to China, is criticized for her excessive friendliness, which was expressed in numerous bows at a meeting with her Chinese counterpart.
Diplomatic etiquette experts at The New York Post note that American officials do not bow at all and point out that Chinese Vice Premier He Lifen, to whom Yellen bows glibly, does not respond with a mutual movement. A protocol error that critics will call a sign of America’s weakness.”
How embarrassing for the USA, to be represented by a peculiar and aged Jewish woman who has no idea how to behave. In fact, she looks like a giant chicken. She also looks like she would like to pull off the Chinaman’s hand and keep it as a souvenir.
Ecce “the land of freedom”…
A nice story.
Dershowitz was also a passenger, numerous times, on the so-called “Lolita Express” of the Jew Epstein. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/08/11/the-jew-epstein-and-prince-andrew-the-british-royal-family-has-another-scandal-maybe-its-time-to-just-get-rid-of-them/.
Valentin Tomberg was right. The “mask of Evil” did “start to come off” from the late 20thC onwards. Even more so in the first quarter of the 21st. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg.
Oh, look, one of (((those))) lovely (((you-know-who)))…
I was tweeting (when I still had a Twitter account) and blogging for years about this scandal, long before most others. Incredible injustice. Cable seems incapable of seeing it, just as he did not want to see the miseries inflicted by the Con Coalition during 2010-2015. Like almost all LibDems, he is a useless waste of space.
I have, though years ago now, also criticized Paula Vennells, that dishonest careerist woman who also posed, at one time, as one of those Church of England “priestesses” of recent decades: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Vennells.
I blogged recently about the fact that useless Skidmore had stepped down as MP before he got binned (his constituency disappears at the 2024 General Election, and no other constituency’s Conservative Party committee wanted him).
Skidmore is thus, as blogged previously, positioning himself to get a job heading some “green” quango or company.

The Rwanda idea will only, even if implemented, deal with only a small fraction of migrant-invaders (on small boats), and none of the hugely-bigger number entering superficially “legally”.
Imagine what it will be like in 2034 (if the state of Israel lasts that long).
