Tuesday [11 to 14]

(1033) Time's flegeling again. Those birds out there are not calling or cawing so much, they're actually tweeting. Being unversed in the ways of flora and fauna, dare I suggest that these might be fledgelings?  As in dozens of them? Must be spring. 🐥🐥🐥 (1052) Evets is up across the way. (1100)

Are our 'elites' trying to con us into massive (and wasteful) defence and health spending on non-productive bureaucracy? 

Some extracts from "Maybe we spend far too much on defence?" (David Craig) 

"All the mainstream media are saying it – 'The world is becoming much more dangerous so Britain needs to spend more on defence.' And as we found out during the Covid lab-leaked plague disaster and are slowly finding out about the man-made climate apocalypse global boiling nonsense, when all the mainstream media agree on something, it must be true. Mustn’t it?"

"The UK – a small, wet, dismal, overpopulated, multi-culturally-enriched island floating pointlessly off the European mainland – has the world’s 6th largest military budget. Yet the powers that be and their useless, lying, self-serving prostitutes in the mainstream media bleat on about how we desperately need to increase military spending while beating the war drums with the spectre of a coming war with Russia."

"Virtually every purchasing project run by the worse-than-incompetent Ministry of Defence (MoD) has come in years late and vastly over budget:"

"Despite numerous damning reports from the National Audit Office and hundreds of millions spent on management consultants, there appears to have been absolutely no improvement in the Ministry of Defence’s performance."

a.  “Former President Donald Trump has been unable to secure the $454 million bond, the full amount of the civil fraud judgment against him, which he must post in order to appeal, his attorneys said in a filing Monday. Trump offered last month to post a $100 million appeal bond rather than the full amount as the process plays out in court, but the judge denied the proposal….”
