In the Thick of it
Watching Ed Miliband on the Marr show this morning brought to mind a show that was supposed to be satire but turns out to be ‘not’. In ‘The Thick of It’ media strategies are hastily cobbled together to divert the public’s attention from The Party’s crazy mixed-up, contradictory policies, gaffes and incompetences. This morning we got a peep into the way it works in all its *Thick of It* glory. Ed was tasked with reconciling bendy-knee Starmer’s contradictory messages in an attempt to restore the Party’s credibility. Neatly rationalising (leftsplaining away) the inconsistency in sac... more »
Meanwhile, on another channel...
A relative of Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat carried out a car ramming terror attack, injuring an Israeli policewoman. Israeli police then shot him dead. Well, that's one way of putting it. Sky News, however, put it like this: The Israeli government has already responded: This is what happened, judge for yourselves...pic.twitter.com/wOG3oIBOQE — Gov't Press Office (@GPOIsrael) June 25, 2020 Nothing could be plainer, and Sky should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
Moving on
When it was first mooted, I was quite enthusiastic about the idea of Times Radio providing an alternative to the increasingly tired and tiresome BBC Radio 4. But then the names of the presenters came out and it turned out to be mostly BBC presenters and familiar BBC guests, mostly from the 'mainstream centre' (as they like to see themselves). I suppose it *could* still be better than BBC Radio 4, but I can't see it being much more broad-minded. Still, one of its new presenters, John Pienaar, has given an interview to *The Sunday Times* and said something he wouldn't have said while... more »
What matters?
Ed Husain, writer and think-tanker, tweets this morning: There was another stabbing in a Jewish neighborhood in London last night. Second time in weeks. Not in the morning news/BBC headlines. No mayoral indignation. Is it because Jews don’t riot and attack the police? Stop this balkanisation of identity. All lives matter. Meanwhile, to the surprise of no one, the "largely peaceful" Black Lives Matter UK further reveals its hand: As Israel moves forward with the annexation of the West Bank, and mainstream British politics is gagged of the right to critique Zionism, and Israel... more »
Will Barr Be The First Attorney General To Be Impeached? Or Is Pelosi Too Tired?
Pre-Trump, historians have considered the two worst Attorneys General to be Wilson's A. Mitchell Palmer and his successor, Harry Daugherty, who was appointed by Warren G. Harding and also served, briefly, under Calvin Coolidge. Daugherty, a career criminal, was complicit in the Teapot Dome Scandal and was indicted and tried twice, although shenanigans in the Justice department led to hung juries and dismissals. The House Judiciary Committee also took up impeachment charges against him (1922) but partisan politics intervened and he was never impeached. That was the closest any Atto... more »
Kodak Agfa presents : Cairo’s Nilometer and Manasterly Palace from Egypt’s Nile River
This is not a long Kodak Agfa tour but rather a very short one.

Saturday night in Lakeside

It baffles me that with all the talent, skill and college degrees we have on the staff of our churches, no one can come up with a plan that serves God and man.

The Roots of Fascism and Its Rise in Today’s America
Dinesh D’Souza – Liberty University Convocation Liberty University – Sep 21, 2017 ~We’re witnessing the rise of fascism in today’s America and it’s a frightening portent.
