Has Russia taken Bakhmut yet? I was told here weeks ago that it was happening. Almost as slow as the cricket.Given your confident statements in recent weeks that Wussia was running out of men and material, and had incompetent generals and poor plans, surely you should be asking why the Ukies are not yet on the outskirts of Moscow.

Liberals have got a Scotty problem, since Dutton criticised the British part of the Sub deal last week, then we find out that Scotty unilaterally inked the deal with Johnson and Joe and presumably kept his Defence Minister out of that loop.Did he serenade them with his Stradivarius at the time? That would have sealed the deal.

It was spitting rain at 9 am, now it’s too hot.
I’m at another beautiful bus station, well Sete Rios, waiting to go to Fatima.
I’m pretty pleased with my grasp of Lisbon public transport, I’m going to bus/metro to the airport on Thursday, some bus drivers take exception to large suitcases so I’ll minimise my exposure.
Though there’s a risk using the metro as it seems every five out of six escalators are out of service.
That might be to save electricity.
There are quite a few buses running around showing off their all natural gas credentials.
That was a genuis idea. -
Perth coppers broke the skinhead gangs by some fairly robust methods, why do they tolerate these P O S?
It’ll stop when the “eshays” attack & steal the sandshoes from a kid of the wrong ethnicity, perhaps one a couple of degrees removed from a “bad guy” Mr. Big type.
Not all of what looks like “white” to them are cuckolded anglos, they’ll do over a Greek kid, or a Lebanese Muslim kid.
Over the subsequent week or so lots of brawny men in their mid-20s will turn up in town, in ones & twos – of the same ethnicity as the kid in hospital.
Then suddenly one night they’ll cut loose, belting piss & pickhandles out of anybody who even looks like they’re connected to these “eshays” – not caring how much damage they do (rather than an extreme limit, broken bones will be a starting point)
They’ll keep this up for a couple of weeks – though after about the fourth night they’ll have trouble finding targets.“Eshays” & copycats of, will disappear without trace. Streets & carparks will be safe for a year or two.

How’s Ukraine traveling?
From a comment on Unz Review:
At the beginning of the special operation, the Ukrainians had 700,000 men under arms. Now they have about 150K. So far, 304,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and many more wounded and missing. About 20,000 civilians were killed. Russian losses are just over 20 K.
By the way, 2,500 western mercenaries/soldiers and about 3,000 Poles got killed so far.

I walked down to the antique art museum yesterday afternoon, wanted to look at a couple of things including their Bosch triptych and the first thing the staff member said was that it was on holiday in Milan.
However the second floor that was closed last time I was here was open.
Like most fine arts museums in this part of the world the collection relies heavily on works confiscated from the Catholic church during various persecutions, in Portugal’s case in 1835 then 1910 when a law re separation of church and state was passed.
If the art wasn’t directly from a confiscation it came as bequests from private collections where confiscated art had passed into private hands.
They have an interesting collection of antique furniture and ceramics as well. -

The decline and fall of the skinheads gangs in Perth was notable – they bashed one of the junior recruits from HMAS Leuwin so severely that he finished up in a wheelchair. Emboldened by their triumph, they announced that the streets of the town belonged to them, and after the following Friday, anyone with a naval haircut was history.
Unfortunately, come the following Friday, two R.A.N. ships had docked in Fremantle, together with a R.N. Guided missile cruiser…the streets of Perth ran red with skinhead blood, while Perth coppers sat at Central, and played cards….
After the sailors left, anyone in skinhead regalia copped another hiding from the coppers – very, very soon after, there wasn’t a skinhead to be seen on the streets of Perth…

Donut Operator brings the story of a well ventilated criminal mastermind that loads their gun with bullets of various sizes in backwards. Even I know not to do that.

It’s like the Ethiopia-Eritrea War which went on in fits and starts for 20 years until 2018….Given the pace of the Russian advance that time scale is not out of the question.
I’m rather expecting one of Hemmingways ‘slowly then quickly’ timelines. You see this a lot in trench warfare (and city fighting similarly): nothing much changes for a while, until one side has used up all its reserves, then it crumbles quickly.

While indigenous activists promoting the voice argue Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and elders must be acknowledged and celebrated, they fail to show the same respect and appreciation for Australia’s British heritage and the debt owed to the European civilisation.
Not only indigenous activists. Those white people infecting academia are just as much to blame. Or sepia fellas, like Stan Grant

Russian losses are just over 20 K.
Which is why they’re lost so much equipment (verified) and their advance has been stalled for 12+ months.

After four hundred years of Portuguese colonial rule, by the 1960’s, over 90% of Africans in Angola and Mozambique were still illiterate, and lacking the most basic of services..

Or even know who owns them.The R*thschilds of course, who else?
Man, what a sad blog the Lollipop blog has become. How freaking sad are that bunch of idiots even blaming the R*thschilds for their issues with constipation.
The entire family should be put up against a wall and shot.
All of them are evil. They should have been obliterated years ago. Kids and all. F-15 strikes on all their property.
Do not suggest anti-Semitism. All of their estates should be wiped out.

You are playing with fire here Steve, every time I have a break and log in, here you are with outlandish claims and threats.
Getting ready to run your own blog, are you?
I don’t want you or anyone banned, I can scroll with the best of them, but how long do you think you’ll be tolerated, spewing hatred? -

March 14, 2023 at 2:15 amWhat a world we live in. People defending R-childs.
People are on the defense of one of the most evil families in the world….astonishing!I can understand people wanting to play safe.
Steve, I freely admit that I only know that they exist, and they are in the finance business, nothing more, and never was interested in learning more about them either.
Now, reading your claims, you must be full bottle about them, how come you know all that, and would you share at least the most egregious deed they have done warranting execution?

March 14, 2023 at 2:24 amDo some research.
No, thanks, there are people far closer giving us grief.
More immediate and we might even have a chance of doing somat about it, slim chance it is, but better than wasting my time chasing up conspiracy theories. -
All set!
No. Fork lifted new motor as far as we could. Requires manual lift of old motor out and new motor in. Sling and 2” pipe on it. Me one end, CCP dude other. Ok! Pick up! Lift, my end comes off the mount, CCP, Mayo! Mayo! Can’t lift!* Now wait for more CCP, no show!
*May have been mildly ambitious, I checked the data sheet, 174kg.

It moved plenty during the Ukraine offensive. Not so much during the current Russian one.
Please join up so you’re there for the glorious Uke victory! We all want to see it, hello kitty AK-47 aloft, haversack full of krispy kreme’s, pudgy donut dusting cover face spouting stories of Uke skill at arms! Way better than Malmo!

Siena is JC.
I visited HO in Siena once when they were letting members of the public have a peek at a restored old master destined for the directors office. Dude told me they had 30 000 objects of fine art in their possession.
San Paulo has 35 000 but they have a selection on display in a couple of galleries.
No-one ever starts screaming they and all their families down to babes in arms should murdered in cold blood for being rich and successful for many generations. -

The fat fascist fool calls for a Great War Against Wussian Imperialism, but has no enthusiasm for actually fighting in it.

Tickler earlier.

That’s the way.
Airstrikes.
Far more accurate than a silly old meteorite.
But an F-15?
Surely the Me-109 or Stuka would be your weapon of choice.Do not suggest anti-Semitism.
Most Nazis will say that.
All of their estates should be wiped out.
Why not just sieze them?
Like you lot did the last time. -

With all the dramas going on in the world at the moment…lets talk about the no knickers girl.
It is f-in stupid watching people respond to MSM on this subject….and yet it continues, Cassie being guilty.
Plenty of people here cover issues raised in the MSM.
Why single Cassie out?
Do you imagine she is connected with Rothwells Merchant Bank? -
It wasn’t the Rothschild’s that broke the SVB, it was woke, ESG and DVI.
Glance at the profile of their risk manager.
‘Woman of colour, immigrant, non-binary, determined to break the chains of traditional investment rules by pursuing diversity……… blah blah’.
And;
Their Chief Admin officer had been CFO of Lehman Bros.
But they were not entirely stupid, they knew that having a shed full of Hollywood and woke investors would have the Bidens (read Obama) rushing to use taxpayers money to bail the treasonous clowns.
