"We're watching right now a centralization of education unlike anything the world has ever seen. We've got the UN openly calling for centralized global education standards. Really, an effort to indoctrinate every child on this planet into submission to an all-powerful one-world dictatorship." Alex Newman of TheNewAmerican.com and LibertySentinel.org 🧠 🇺🇳

Attempting to impersonate me, in order to lure others in to a "profiting chatroom", is one thing, posting pornography into the chat is another.
However, this is what happened at some point last night, so I am sorry if any of you had an unpleasant surprise. I delete, block, ban and report constantly, though I did not discover this until this morning.

I covered the use of BMV (best and most versatile) agricultural land for solar installations on yesterday's UKC news, at a time when farmers are being paid subsidy to produce food and to not produce food.
The refrain from the policy makers and the solar industry is that the percentage of land involved is so small. With AHDB reporting a 79% increase in arable fallow this year, this will be a difficult line to cling to.
Whichever way you look at it, DEFRA holds responsibility for likely food shortages and further price increases in 2024.
This slide is from the House of Commons Library doc, Planning for Solar Farms, which, as you might imagine, involves virtually no planning.

Comfort Ero, of the International Crisis Group, writing in Foreign Affairs:
"Recent global events have made schisms between these countries and the West more pronounced. When many non-Western governments refused to take sides after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, some Western leaders acknowledged the need to address allegations of a double standard—specifically, the perception that they only took principled stands when a European nation was attacked.
Only with the support of a large bloc of states that are usually considered part of the global South, after all, could the UN General Assembly deliver a strong show of solidarity with Ukraine. But Western governments did not seek to apply this lesson beyond the Russia-Ukraine war.
If the war in Gaza posed the next test of whether Western leaders truly grasped the importance of facing accusations of hypocrisy, those leaders appear to have failed. Across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, officials and citizens believe that the United States and some of its allies in Europe have greenlighted Israel’s wholesale destruction of Gaza. The perception of double standards is stronger than ever."

Victoria Prentis, the Attorney General, demonstrates how turning a blind eye can become an art form.
As though not a drop of blood had been shed in eastern Ukraine between 2014 and 2022, she is seen here leaping on the bandwagon which passes by currently, saying:
“Since Russia’s barbaric invasion over two years ago, there has been extensive and profound damage inflicted on Ukrainian buildings and vital infrastructure.
The UK is fully committed to helping secure accountability for Ukraine and the Register of Damages scheme, which will act as an important mechanism to document this brutal conflict.”

Happy New Year.......
The Calendar Act 1750 remains the reason for the tax year starting on 6th April. Finally, after nearly 200 years since the design of the Gregorian Calendar, England and her dominions made the switch, thus moving the start of the year from 25th March to 1st January. 11 days were lost to the out of kilter Julian calendar.
Earlier steps towards a one world government?
"In and throughout all his Majesty’s dominions and countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, belonging or subject to the crown of Great Britain, the said supputation, according to which the year of our Lord beginneth on the twenty-fifth day of March, shall not be made use of from and after the last day of December one thousand seven hundred and fifty-one;
and that the first day of January next following the said last day of December shall be reckoned, taken, deemed, and accounted to be the first of the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty-two;
and the first day of January which shall happen next after the said first day of January one thousand seven hundred and fifty-two shall be reckoned, taken, deemed, and accounted to be the first day of the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty-three;
and so on from time to time the first day of January in every year which shall happen in time to come shall be reckoned, taken, deemed, and accounted to be the first day of the year, and that each new year shall accordingly commence and begin to be reckoned from the first day of every such month of January next preceding the twenty-fifth day of March on which such year would according to the present supputation have begun or commenced."

As you may be aware, some of the King’s Guard will be found by the Gendarmerie Nationale today and, in Paris, a detachment from the Coldstream Guards—my regiment—will be showing the French how this sort of thing is done properly.
There have been a number of questions about this, understandably. It has not been unusual to have non-British soldiers turning up for a ceremonial stint in London, but they have all come from the Commonwealth. Picking 120 years since the Entente Cordiale seems odd (why not 125, and I doubt anyone considered this in 2004), which makes this look like it is much more about NATO than Anglo-Frog relations.
The guard rooms at the royal palaces are classed as “transit accommodation”, because nobody spends more than 48hrs there. This means that the blokes sleep on squeaky bunk beds with plastic mattresses and there is a distinct lack of ambience. Since each battalion and company on public duties has a mass of other training to be getting on with, getting any help with this is always viewed as a plus, even if it means the public do not get the same spectacle.
Assuming the officers are given lunch in the mess at St James’s Palace afterwards, partaking of snuff might be a little awkward; the snuff box is made from one of Marengo’s hooves.
