TIPTOES the Miserable Bastard
A vintage Ladybird book called Tiptoes the Mischievous Kitten. The cover is yellow and has an illustration of a fuzzy black cat with yellow bow tied around its neck and an evil expression, loitering with intent next to a flowerpot on a windowsill.

Everything I’ve read about this supposed bomb plot makes me think it’s completely fake. This article basically insinuates the same thing in the strongest possible way it can
independent.co.uk
The RAF Fairford bomb plot was designed to fail. So who was behind it?
If this was a ploy to use old school techniques in the age of drones it was doomed from the start, says world affairs editor Sam Kiley

"You will never defeat us" is a very funny thing to say after you've just bailed everyone who was involved in whatever the fuck this was
All five men arrested in RAF base plot are British nationals
The five men who were arrested and subsequently released on bail are all British citizens, home secretary Shabana Mahmood has just told the Labour party conference.

She adds that the scene is “now safe” and the residents living near to the RAF base are now able to return home.

“Let this be a reminder: you will never defeat us,” he says.

Fireman’s Shirushi Hanten. Cotton with Indigo Dye. Meiji Period, Japan. Circa 1870-1910
Laid flat in a broad T-shaped silhouette, this formidable shirushi hanten (marked fireman’s coat) showcases the commanding visual language of Meiji-period textile design. Deep, light-absorbing indigo (aizome) forms a velvety dark ground, dramatically punctuated by stark, un-dyed white paste-resist motifs. At the nape, a crisp astronomical crest featuring six connected celestial spheres anchors the upper back, suspended over a subtle, repeating interlocking lattice grid (fundo-tsunagi) across the main body. Along the wide sleeve cuffs and flared lower hem panels, broad, maze-like geometric characters (kumi-jirushi) form a heroic, labyrinthine border. The coat evokes a powerful sensory landscape: the dense, substantial weight of heavy hand-loomed cotton, the faint, earthy fragrance of fermented indigo dye, and the stiff, protective texture of paste-resist fabric crafted to withstand intense heat, water, and flying ash.

Originating in the late Edo period and continuing into the Meiji era (1868–1912), the shirushi hanten served as both functional armor and a emblem of fierce civic identity for town firefighter brigades (machi-hikeshi). Often thoroughly soaked in water before the wearer charged onto burning rooftops, the garment protected the firefighter while identifying his specific brigade unit amidst dense smoke and turmoil. The crisp white motifs were created using traditional paste-resist dyeing techniques (tsutsugaki or katazome), wherein sticky rice-paste (nori) was applied by hand or stencil to shield the raw cotton fibers from successive indigo dips.

This march was designed to spread tensions and hatred, and to intimidate the community and families who live there. Scotland should not be providing policing resources for sectarian events like this that are called to inflame tensions.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.
