Good.
Now that's over with. Do you really think I went to public school for all those years so that somebody could come along and set people free?
Everything's back to normal.
We've got Blair - or Cameron - and Putin is in his Kremlin, the poor man at his gate.
Of course, 'Maggie' was invaluable in showing that the class war was all an imaginary thing, a persecution by those indecent socialists and their camp-followers, a supremely effective obfuscation which swallowed up any genuine desire for freedom and set it up in opposition to common sense itself, something which chopped the head off any possible movement towards liberty.
She did very well for us, but of course once we found out that she was one of them, she had to go.
Think of the damage!
We go to school, we learn our place in the world(well, the country anyway), and we rule.
That's the natural order! That's what we're for!
These useful bastards have to keep us solvent! They have to keep on promising us the means to continue.
In return we promise them a slice of the British Dream. Sliced? Thinner than Truffles!
But the scent is enough.
Stroppy councillor? Golf club membership here, speeding ticket there.
Outright revolutionary? Beat him up, beat him down, let him become a pillar of populism-as long as he knows he's beaten. You can watch it on TV.(Always wanted to say that! What would James Bond be if he wasn't loyal to us?)
And the funny thing about it is, literally millions of them are loyal to us. They know the score. And they sell there brothers, mothers and children into our hands for a sniff of Truffle - or Methadone - or whatever, and we're laughing!
Rule Britannia everybody!

Playing With My Trainset.
Everybody Else- Don't Be Silly.
No suitable pictures today.
Just to say, have you ever noticed what appears on TV screens under the ridiculous title of 'Royal Expert'?
Usually there is some dull, deferential git. He manages to look 'engaged' but not in a vulgar way; he presumes to pique our interest with his ditchwater-dull 'insights', all the while congratulating us with his body language on our prurient curiosity, while remaining aloof in an amused, indulgent sort of way.
Underlying this is an air of urgent sincerity, such as is appropriate to somebody who is useless, has nothing to say, and doesn't want to be found out.
Then there are the styling cues.
Suits are vaguely expensive-looking, but not too good as these creatures wouldn't know how to choose; essentially they are country-solicitor chic, which is good enough for them as it implies an Oxfordshire or Dorset town and an air of understated respect rather than a Chelsea bedsit.
Hair?
Usually too neat, a male bouffant to suggest public school, or better still, a grammar school imitation of a public school, which lends the pundit the competitive populist edge without actually being common anymore.
Besides, now that the age of grammar schools is ending, this engenders additional sympathy for the suspected Chelsea bedsitting room.
Enjoy your Royals, now y'hear?

Don't Be Silly Pietr.
Don't be silly.
I conducted a little research(by which I mean I performed observaitonal experiments, not google), and I discovered that my computer now runs two versions of Ubuntu, -15 and -16.
Apparently the upgrade broke the support for my hardware; the CD-ROM was forced to record at 11-15 X speed by 16 and refused every time.
The previous version stuck to sleepy 2.5-3.5 X speed however, and works reliably.
I like that the booter gives me the option, too.
Ubuntu is anything-but 'solid as a rock'(sorry Ubuntoids), but it is fascinating and free.
And works mostly.

Imagine.
Imagine all the people; the people who resent.
The people who wish to belittle, in the name of an ever-changing 'cause'.
Imagine that you become relevant; that you are 'noticed'.
Then imagine that they suppose that they represent a 'new order', a world government by cajole in waiting.
Once you are noticed all hell breaks loose. By stealth, by psychological coercion, by threat; the maelstrom is designed to break you down.
Where you don't exactly break, they search for any weakness to add to their ungoverned, illegally held, 'hearsay' database, anything which they suppose may have had an effect.
You have to be very careful what you say, and to whom.
Because they listen, and once you are noticed, as somebody who represents a threat, an obstacle, an-other, they will pay attention.
They will watch and wait, and when you say or do anything wrong, they will attack, through music, words, thugs, all forms of weirdness, to knock you down.
They regard themselves as pacifist, like the communists, which means murder is on their minds, not yet their consciences.
They are a minority, but they are everywhere, and they are real.
Of course, while murder is rare, they are quite accomplished at the intolerable, in order to drive people mad; of course, once 'mad', anything you learn about them is 'paranoia'.
And no. It isn't a conspiracy theory. It is the ineluctible deduction of meaning where there should be none, violence where peace is the norm, and doubts where there used to be certain knowledge.
They are the fruit flies of civilisation, and they like to think they are unnoticed.

I Understand.
One of the delights of the 'Ubuntu' Linux system is the fora for the discussion and solution of what appear to be 'problems'.
I left a whole lot of comments there, and when I went back to look I found that they had been deleted.
By the 'moderators' presumably.
So anyway, I mentioned that I would be transposing my music collection to my Linux server, and this comment was deleted.
Seems that the Ubuntu folk don't like it when you point out that they have 'upgraded' all the systems in Feisty Fawn so that nothing less than an MP3 file with 128 kbps will run in the music players;
tonight my 'Sound Juicer' cd copier failed.
Far be it from me to suggest that the Social Fascist dogma of 'Ubuntoids' would influence them to exploit back doors they had left in their systems.
Far be it from me to suggest that Linux folk are not wondrous, magical, noble folk that do everything for the common good.
Let's face it, they are.
And the 'common good' has masked every crime for centuries past.
Something stinks, and the smell is coming from Ubuntu.

I Understand.
I understand why some genuine Englishmen go misty-eyed and all pathological, like, over the mere mention of England.
Around sundown yesterday I found myself in rural Oxfordshire close to the brewery village of Hook Norton.
This was the 'Black Boy', an ancient inn buried off the main road with ample parking in landscaped bays and a few good beers inside.
As my friend and I sat outside in the low light near the churchyard, the loudest noise was the songbirds and the air barely moved, a magical forerunner of those Summer nights to come.
I felt as peaceful as a monk and as safe as a Spitfire pilot back on the ground.
The beer was Adnams, from Kent.

Never Mind The Bollocks.
Interesting series of programmes on the History Channel; especially radar.
They just explained the 'Wild Weasel' technique of radar defence system destruction.
No biggy.
Just make all your CCC radars passive, and use them to read signals from chains of disposable transmitters.
These will be cheap and easily replaced.
The receivers will be even 'dumber' than the Wild Weasel drones.
Now will some cunt finally give me a job?

No Room For Sentimentality
I have been taking a look at PHP.
It looks okay, but C#/ASP.NET is a lot more intuitive and fast.
It's like comparing steam-power with diesel-electric.
So, soon, now that Mono works, I'll have a new personal website, running on a Linux server but written in ASP.NET and C#.
This ought to be a lot of fun.

The IPCRESS File and the Minefield
I still haven't read Len Deighton's 'IPCRESS File', but I have seen the excellent Michael Caine film several times.
Noting my own reactions to the possibility of sudden and total escape from the conditioning fields of England, mainly by obtaining work in Europe, I detected feelings of paranoid dread and dangerously physical tendencies towards reaction against my situation.
In the IPCRESS File, powerful intelligences are conditioned by continual and unpredictable violation to collapse when previous normality reappears.
So the scientist about to resume giving lectures collapses into incoherence for example.
We are literally assailed with similar trickery, from White Noise (boasted of by MI5 in the seventies as their 'only form of interrogative coercion'), to the chronic attacks of the vicious poor, those who have made a psychological investment in protecting themselves from the image and reality of other people's self-made success.
In other words, Britain (and elsewhere) is awash with a peculiarly stylised intellectual stressing force, one that is supposed to channel our mental processes and prevent us from ever recognising anything outside.
Thus we are rendered 'British', confined to the slave-pens of futile stupidity which kills talent in this country.
For a real example, H.E.Bates was a great cartoonist. He wanted to be a serious artist, but when he tried he had a nervous breakdown.
I for one am tired of people trying to make me 'more rounded', knocking 'off the sharp corners' and generally using every means up to and including clenched fists and boots to beat me to a compliant pulp.
So I have to say that Len Deighton was a rare exception, a Penny Dreadful popular novelist with something extremely and excellently insightful to say about life in Britain, whether consciously and deliberately or not.
Meanwhile, I have to follow my awful dread to its source and find the answer to the question I've been faced with;
will I go to Europe, where I don't even speak the language, in order to break the stalemate of life here?
I think so.

A Gesture From The Resistance.
According to the Saturday Financial Times, the Yukos headquarters building in Moscow was expected to fall to the mean bidding of the State, as it destroyed the corporation and regained control of all of its assets.
However, for appearances sake, this didn't happen without a Show Trial, sorry, Public Auction.
And this is where Putin's plans came unstuck.
A company called Prana outbid the state-controlled company Rosneft in the bankruptcy sale, bidding a total of seven hundred and seven times to pay $4 billion dollars for a $430 million property portfolio.
This is resistance on a grand, quixotic scale, which should serve as a beacon to the freedom-loving peoples of the former Soviet Union.
And to us all.

We've Been Expecting You......
The funniest thing on the radio news yesterday was the story of thousands or millions of people who have been 'over-paid' tax credits.
For the uninitiated, tax credits are supposed to be a way of boosting low incomes when people start a family or if they have a family and don't make a lot of money.
They have resulted in an estimated 50% of the population relying on some form of government hand-out, ie of their own and other people's money.
Apparently there is 'incompetence' in the administration; many people received 'too much' money and now the government wants it back.
So a struggling father might now find that far from being helped, he now owes several thousand pounds of debt which he cannot possibly afford.
The point I wish to make is this; debt turns us into clients.
Owing the government money makes people into the government's bitches, sorry, clients, and leaves them totally at the mercy of the civil service(which takes £450 per year from each working adult in Britain to pay for it's pensions).
I want to ask: was this situation incompetence?
Or was it deliberate?

How Did We Let It Happen?
In the seventies towards the end, there was a general movement; it led towards a feeling that something big was brewing.
Some of us, more than you might think, were attuned to this surge and felt it beginning to surface in the General Election of 1979.
We were ready to see what came.
And what came was so good that we were none of us disappointed.
But a different type of person was 'attuned' to the swell also; these people were not friends of Freedom.
They were 'upside-down' people with a problem for every solution, a catch to deflate any victory and a pin to prick any bubble of happiness.
They went to work right away.
Realising it would be a long and thankless task, they played the long-game.
At every turn they were outmaneouvred, outclassed, out gunned.
But only in the broad strokes.
They were happy, but not content, to pick up the details, the wreckage, the flavour of the smaller parts of the changes that progress caused, and turn these to their purpose.
So, when the 'wobblies' looked for new examples ('paradigms') in the social atmosphere, these were supplied.
Their ingenuity was such that we all thought, indulgently, that they were actually with us when they created the new stereotypes with which to illuminate the age.
But they were crafting, carefully, an image of impotence with which to anaesthetise us for the ages to come, a way of inducing an intellectual and critical coma, a world which screams at us to be considered 'realistic' while all the time stretching beyond all comprehension the bromides of the 'heroic' chattering classes projected onto the unlikeliest scenarios, like-you guessed it- Amanda Burton playing a 'Police Chief' at Scotland Yard.
It doesn't matter that she is 'sleeping with the enemy'.
It doesn't matter that she is using the 'gun' that none of us is allowed(instead of a 'Jagged Edged' knife).
No.
What matters here is that the universal Tofu of British dramatic characterisation is projected into the situations we are expected to thrill to.
And it is at this stage we realise that the thin, grey master race of Camden Town and Islington is being foisted on our consciousnesses as a drug, a drug which brainwashes us into the delusional belief that these nobodies are possessed of potency and effectiveness.
This isn't the 'girl next door' taking over the world.
This is the tongue-in-cheek fraudster doing it, finally out of the box we put him in during the eighties, and triumphantly ramming his post-post-post everything corrupted irony down our throats and into our front rooms.
And they wonder why audiences are collapsing?
Will votes follow?

Kudos, Buddy.
I was watching that soon-to-become-perennial amusement, 'Scrubs'.
Who was that?
I couldn't believe it.
It was Michael J Fox, looking older, looking ,well, like MJF, back from the precipice.
He'd retired from Film, retired from TV work in the late nineties, due to Parkinson's Disease.
Sadly, he was gone.
But here he was again in 2006-7, alive, undimmed and acting again.
If, like me, you are curious about the battles this man has won to be there, read on.

The Younger They Come, The Harder We Fall.
Getting a job in today's busy world is easy; you just have to know how to play the game.
If you are lucky enough to have evolved a turtle-necked instinct for self-negation, then you will have a little reserve of emotion somewhere that gives you a focus for hiding from the slingshots of the powerful, whether they be great, old and mighty, or more likely casual, vicious and cheap.
If you play the game, the pecking-order is established at the interview stage, by little hints and surrenders, with a possible tooth-baring at significant moments to give the impression of having betrayed something under the feint co-option which passes for aggression in this weird world of sniffing arses.
If you don't, they will quite likely turn blindly towards you at the next intersection and write you off as a dead loss, a loser in every sense of the word.
Not for them the outrageous heights of talent, ability, and the blue-sky.
They only tick the 'blue sky' box and the 'thinking-outside-the-box' box when conducting a coerced peer review on the orders of senior management.
Beware the charming interviewer.
If you meet one, explore the possibility of humour; if they have it, this can defuse the rictus offensive; or if they lack it entirely, that is also a good sign, since seriousness runs hand in hand with conviction and convictions can be convinced.
No.
What you really have to watch out for, is somebody who has a little cunning, and an educated ease of manner which vaults any real or imaginary obstacle with a contempt which humiliates the generations of people who have fought against them.
The worst fool is a young fool, and young fools are equipped by colleges to be acquisitive of souls, minds and dignity.
Other people's.
The problem as the interviewee at this juncture is that involuntary paralysis of your mind will engage in order to protect it from the exploitation into which it is being lured.
They in turn will conclude that there is nothing there for them.
Then they will advise against giving you the job.
It's a Long Way to the Top If You Want To Rock 'n Roll!

Been To Shee Thosh Crashee Dutch!
Safe and snug on our lovely 737 at Leeds/Bradford airport;
Up....
Up....
and away!
A sea of clouds beneath us in the morning Sun
Busy Schipol airport; the rustic charms of a strangely fake village- they knock down most of the original houses, then build 21st century replicas. A bit like the British obsession with bricks.
Regimented trees.
Superb roads and transport systems.
Back to Schipol, and this (badly photographed) desk caught my eye; with a sinister-looking logo right out of U.N.C.L.E., the blueish poster in the middle is selling the 'Afghan skilled person return programme'.
They open at 530 am, so if you want to join the CIA you know where to go.
BA is flying a Canadian type here.And I set off into the sunset.

Springtime Blues? Not A Bit.
When I walk Down The Street Where You Live....
You must be called Nelson Muntz.
This neighbourhood is really pulling itself up by it's bootstraps.
Looks a little like an alien invasion.
Meanwhile, close-by was this delightful little motor; obviously a Bentley, and obviously usually far too commonplace to note, nevertheless this one (belonging to a shop-keep) had gloriously low-profile alloys which set off the entire design to a 'tee'.
By the way, although not standard, they are a Bentley original rim.

Buy The Man A Drink?
The scum had something to say about Tony today.
Apparently they said that The Sun said he deserves 10/10 for the years since 1997.
You can tell from the furrows in his elastic brow that he has suffered for his principles; the tough choices, the hard calls, the outright gambling with our country and our futures, extended just as much as he could possibly manage to our world, all for the sake of his imaginary friend in Washington and his imaginary friends in the Labour Party-the latter keeping the New Faith all the more because they were given a place on the Gravy Train.
Our gravy.
All for the sake of an entirely self-serving putsch which put nobodies into positions that need somebody, like a bunch of unwashed teenagers rushing the doormen at a debutant's party.
The fiction was that they could 'grow-into' these positions, and a few of the more innocent (less culpable) believed they could do this; but the truth is most don't give a damn as long as Saint Tony is there to preserve the fraud from prying intelligence, something these people have spent lifetimes defeating.
Lifetimes so productive that they are almost a new kind of intelligence in their own right.
But Tony is going.
And the Scum is trying to preserve a legacy illusion, something to sustain the believers of The Lie through the collapse and disaster to come, something to create a myth of equal potency to the truths they have tried to kill.
As Stormin' Norman might have said, "It Doesn't Take A Muslim".
