Genuinely, should you telephone one of His Majesty’s Prisons and be on hold the music that you will hear is “Time to fly”.

A few years ago I was chatting to an former pupil at Dulwich College who was a contemporary Smeagol Farage. Suffice to say that none of the recent stories have taken me by surprise. Who knows, there may be more to come.

What strikes me about Trump's urge to sue the BBC for defamation is that he suffered so much harm to his reputation that he had absolutely no idea that it had happened until a foreign newspaper mentioned it a year later. #SarumanTheOrange

In December 1941 the US knew in advance that Japan was about to declare war and that a surprise attack on the US was probable. It was suggested to Roosevelt that the US should strike the first blow. He responded that they couldn’t “the US is a democracy and a peaceful people” cf #SarumanTheOrange

The Knockers - ancient earth spirits of #Cornish #folklore that live underground. They warn miners of danger with knocking noises. Superstitious Cornish miners to this day appease the knockers by throwing the knob of their pasties to them.

As a simple, naive barrister of 40+ years I can be easily confused. If you have enough evidence to fire missiles to kill the crew of a civilian boat then I would think that you must have enough evidence to prosecute any survivors in a criminal court for a serious crime rather than release them.

The Ministry of Justice has been convicted of a crime and fined £1,000, in a closed-door court hearing the department itself was apparently not aware was happening www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/m...

History as Physics A "great power" (GP) is subject to the 3rd law of thermodynamics (closed systems will trend towards entropy) So to survive a GP must trade equitably with "lesser powers"(LPs). A GP that attempts isolation or to destroy the economies of LPs *will* collapse #SarumanTheOrange

The vivid colours of autumn are the passing summer's farewell gift. Did I read that somewhere? If not then I feel that I should have done.

Starmer clearly believes that asylum/migration has traction in the minds of the public. Counter it by explaining what benefit entitlements they have and how they are limited but also shine light on other Reform UK Ltd "ideas" which would appal voters: The NHS and health Workers rights Etc Sigh...

When I look at the world today — misogyny, hatred and extremism everywhere — the novella "The Screwfly Solution" springs instantly to mind. FFS, let us "be excellent to each other" for the sake of the continued existence of humanity.

Back garden view. NGC7000 The North American Nebula, or as I prefer to call it: The Greater Canadian Nebula.

Disclosure: I really don't give bramm kath* about golf. However, the behaviour of some of the audience at the Ryder Cup matches speaks volumes about the USA of today. It foreshadows the next Olympics and likely Jesse Owens moments. *An expression based upon Medieval Cornish literary usage.

Scientists have confirmed that mothers of autistic children ALL breathed oxygen during their pregnancy. Women are now advised that they should not inhale after a positive pregnancy test.

In the Land of the Free #Trumpania the head of state announced on TV that a suspect had been arrested for a crime, gave details of the arrest, expressed a view of guilt and called for the death penalty. In the UK we prefer a jury to hear evidence and reach a verdict without external influences.

(Caveat: I have not had to look at either Equity & Trusts or Revenue Law for over 40 years) It appears that Farage #Gollum has now made interesting statements about his Clacton home. cont

This is just next level insanity. In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate. There was just one rather significant problem. She had sadly died in July 2024. insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (I may regret posting this) I used to come across "sovereign citizens" (aka "freeman of the land") from time to time. Their view of the world was very one sided. The laws of our society (which, generally speaking, they had breached) did not apply to them. Cont

So, #GollumFarage proposes to detain and deport the families of those who unlawfully came to Britain in small boats. Exactly how far back does he propose to look?

Donald Trump ( #OrangeFelon #SarumanTheOrange ) has announced that he is going to Russia to meet Putin. What a mistake to make! He has revealed his negotiating strategy — **he is going to return #Alaska (where the meeting is taking place) to Russia in order to stop the war**. #Generous #MARA

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Please can we have clarification of Nigel Farage's nephew's immigration status as a matter of urgency before we have riots outside Reform UK Ltd (also trading as Reform Dubai, Reform Belgium and Reform Mar-a-Lago).

On this day in 1549, one of the darkest events in Cornish history occurred during the Anglo-Cornish (Prayer Book) War. Some 900 unarmed Cornish prisoners, taken following the battles of Woodbury and Clyst St Mary, were systematically murdered by forces of the English government.
