I'm looking for a video of this speech.

That is Labour losing nearly 80% of their seats.

I don't believe it.

Christian Nationalists See Trump as God's Righteous Avenger (with Matthew Taylor) YouTube video by Culture, Faith, and Politics

That's a map for the rivalries for when Trump is in his padded cell, and the structure of the structure of the Christian Nationalist jelly in the meantime.

4/4

3 - JD Vance. Born again Roman Catholic with his own opinions (disagrees with Pope / Bishops). Hankering after Traditionalist Roman Catholicism, linked to a desire for Roman Catholic political power which is the 'integralist' angle. 6 Scotus Judges
Roman Catholic (c/f 20% of the population).
3/4

2 - Paula White - Trump's faith adviser. Independent charismatic (miracles, prophecy, speaking in tongues) church leaders with thousands of people & perhaps a TV programme. Wanting Christ to return pronto, so keen on Israel (as 'prophesied'). White is Trump's adviser, so controls who sees him.
2/4

An interesting summary of Trump's religious factions (video link at end):

1 - Hegseth, Reformed type doctrine. Think South Africa Dutch Reformed / Northern Ireland Protestant for the style. They want a "Christian Society" on their pattern, over the very long term. Racism, male headship.

I saw this somewhere this morning.

Chromosomes, a beginners guide.

XY - Male

XX - Female

YYY - Delilah

There is a GP's surgery just the other side of the barrier.

A nighttime photo of an anti-wheelchair A-barrier with a fence blocking the entrance to a mobility track and casting a sinister shadow. A prominent "pedestrian/cycling" sign glows a blood-red colour, whilst streetlamps show a ghostly halo in the dark.

Just playing.

Dracula's Cycleway.

It may cost you blood to get past through the barriers.

I was quite surprised the photo worked - it was a handheld long exposure on a mobile phone.

Not sure what happened to the piccie.

A clip from Google Maps showing a pickup truck blocking the entry to a housing estate footpath/cycleway.

@rantyhighwayman.bsky.social can I ask you a Q about White H-Lines as used across drop kerbs?

If put across an entrance to a PRoW which has a drop kerb,

1 - Are they light on paperwork (ie no TRO)?
2 - Can Council Officers to enforce on parking/pavement parking, as a marking is then present?

eg

A local one I saw on Google Satellite View today.

Just WTF is in these people's brains (apart from mush)?

That is a MAJOR walking, and dog-walking, route.

Keep those disabled people out - crossing audit (resist.popped,.action) YouTube video by Matt Wardman

Here's a case where a footpath crosses a road, with little consideration for wheelchair users, elderly people and so on.

This is quite recent - and has perhaps only been like hat for 15 years.

I'm not convinced that being stentorian like this is a good technique.

I'm playing with some new technology - very impressed at the ease of making videoblogs compared to 2005. I need to sharpen the style for shorts & longs, & decide about scripts. *

These are a couple of looks at anti-wheelchair barriers in my town.

* Why are vlogs categorised like guns or trousers?

Indeedy-doody.

But currently I have a freezer drawer full of chuckleberries, so it will be chuckleberry vinegar this time.

They are a hybrid of redcurrent, gooseberry and blackcurrant - so are a little tart and need more sugar, or honey.

Thabk-you. (Belated thank-you.)

The photo shows a view across a reservoir to a hospital in the distance, with a blue cloudy sky and a row of skeletal trees at the far side. In the reservoir are a row of weed and grass covered platforms, with nesting and resting geese. These are the tops of heat condensers of the heat pump system that supplies all of the cooling and a big chunk of the heating required by my local (600 bed) hospital, Kings Mill.

You have Alistair Hendry the wrong way round (say the BBC). He's gone back to the Tories, say the BBC

Graphic reads "UK mobility aid laws weren't written for wheelchair and mobility scooter users. It's long past time for an update. Photo of a 1939 advert for Argson Invalid Tricycles (right, credit Egham Museum Trust) and a photo of a 1940s Argson Invalid Motor Trike (left, credit Science Museum). These were very popular devices and are near identical to devices available from the beginning of the 20th century through to the 1970s.

UK mobility aid laws were written in the 1920s, when people used devices like this Argson motor trike. The rules have just been tweaked a few times since then.

A century on, it’s long past time for Disabled people to have equal pedestrian, cycling and cycling-equivalent mobility rights.

On the consequences of Trump's war.

The USA is moving towards a kind of theocracy, with people like the Christian Nationalists (Protestant wing) and JD Vance (integralist Roman Catholic wing) around Trump.

Thanks.

It won't be hundreds - Cycling Mikey I am not; nor that well organised.

But, as my "what do I do" motto goes, we start from here and eat the elephant in small bites.

And I have my new 'puter for the processing.

It's a MAJOR walking and dog wallking route - hundreds per day.

Hmmm.

Checking, the Notts Police Operation Captured (ie Op SNAP - dashcam footage of offences) deal with "contravening road signs".

I wonder if that means I can follow someone driving up my tiny "no motor vehicles except for access" lane, and Op SNAP them.

I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Digging a bit further - he's a gay vegan Jew 🙃.

On the Gorton & Denton result, the Ref UK Leader Farage and Ref UK Candidate Matt Goodwin are droning on about "sectarian politics".

This is your reminder that all those "sectarian Muslims" voted for the Green Party, which is led by Zack Polanski - a gay Jew.

Ignore the gibberish; assert reality.

The Great Collapsing Reform disaster seems to be starting.

Let's see what this G&D Election result turns out to be.

In Kent they are now down from 57 to 47 Councillors from 81 total, since last May.

Squeaky bum time for Nonny-Nonny-Nigel.

Bomp bomp bomp.

The Kent Reform Councillor Daniel Taylor who threatened to kill his wife received 12 months in prison.
