Reuters claims that Russia is “switching to more limited objectives.”

"It really is time that people began to see ‘People Power’ revolutions for what they are. They are aggressive interventions in sovereign countries by outside forces"

Joseph of Aramithea & Nicodemus were "foul weather friends" 🙃. When everyone else was excited about Jesus, when Jesus was triumphantly riding into Jerusalem, they were hiding "for fear of the Jews"

When Jesus was killed as a criminal & all hope seemed lost, they stepped forward!

Reading The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander to our children again.

Just can’t recommend these 5 books enough. Steeped in Welsh myth, they are both fun and deep.

The British Triad:

NHS- Body
BBC- Mind
Church of England- Soul

Today's UK Column News featured a litany of names of people running Ofcom, the British state regulator of broadcasters, highlighting how many of them are ex-BBC.

With the catastrophic decline in BBC licence fee payers and watchers, the BBC's relevance (as in its desperate plea, "It's Our BBC") from now on is going to reside in regulatory capture: in furnishing the governing class with the coves who busy themselves with censoring and hedging about actual journalism. (As Ofcom head Dame Melanie Dawes' schoolfriend James Delingpole says of her and her usefully zealous ilk, "Terribly nice, but awfully bossy and terribly woke.")

It strikes me that the NHS and the Church of England—which in my analysis always partner with the BBC as a triad to own body, mind and soul the British people and our penumbra abroad—are being lined up for the same role.

There won't be any NHS or C of E services worth speaking of, but anyone else seeking to offer healthcare or religious ministry in the land will be subjected to the same officiousness as Ofcom now exerts upon actual providers.

Ofcom, Ofmed, Ofpray.

(Not forgetting Ofsted, which has replaced the trade unions as the programmer of rising generations to demand an ever bigger state.)

I had seen the occasional post but I didn't understand that @libsoftiktok on Twitter has a specific agenda:

Stop the abuse of children, especially sexual abuse.

1. Very interested to hear more about this radical conversion towards homeschooling.
2. Great marketing for this Telegram channel. Persuaded me to Join.
3. Archery posting! 🏹

I was speaking to a friend of mine this past weekend who is a teacher. She told me some awful stories of what actually goes on in schools. She entered the job a couple of years ago and was one of those people that was fully on board with the importance of children being in the schooling system, but now she is staunchly in favour of home schooling. 2 years ago, she was one of the biggest opponents of home schooling I knew. Some of the things she told me were truly shocking and it’s important for this info to be shared. She isn’t particularly political and her main concern is children’s welfare.

We recorded the conversation but she does not want me to publish it. Instead, I’m going to post the transcript in sections where she answers my questions and shares her experiences. I’ll post them on here over the next few days, one or two at a time. Starting tonight.

Best comments from Woes. 😂

He also urged European leaders to advance the cause of gay rights, have more female representation on corporate boards, recognise the contribution made by black people to Flemish architecture, and redouble our efforts against hate on social media. "We mustn't let George Floyd's death be in vain" he declared, in the heartfelt climax of his daily war bulletin.

I'm on Unpopular Opinions today.

WARNING: I sense that we may actually start on time!!
