I've thought for a while that the Tories were possibly irretrievably damaged. But after Conference, I think they're actually finished. They had 14 years and screwed it up so badly it almost destroyed them. But all they can think to do is just more of the same. No clue, no idea, no experience […]

t's become impossible to discuss Israel's actions. The discussion immediately gets twisted into something else entirely. And yet the destruction of Gaza, West Bank, South Lebanon, South Syria, Iran continues. With a side order of Yemen.

The Greens, Zionism and Racism. Not sure if Entryist far-left crazies have walked the Green party straight into a trap. Or it's a masterful act of political theatre that exposes the problems of conflating being Jewish with support for Israel and Israel's genocide of Palestinians.

The idea that the US is incapable of securing RAF Fairford from 5 guys in 3 transit vans is incredible. But I suppose it does provide just enough cover for the US to clear out their 12 B-1s. Since "defensive" bombing raids against Iran by the US are maybe off the table for the moment. At least […]

Mis-remembered Gurdjieff. Listening to his father and uncle talking. Where is God now? He's in the mountains And what is he doing? He's making ladders. What are the ladders for? For the nations of the world to go up and down on.

For instance, one evening when I was in the workshop, my future tutor entered unexpectedly and, as he walked in, asked my father:

‘Where is God just now?’

My father answered most seriously, ‘God is just now in Sari Kamish.’ Sari Kamish is a forest region on the former frontier between Russia and Turkey, where unusually tall pine-trees grow, renowned everywhere in Transcaucasia and Asia Minor.

Receiving this reply from my father, the dean asked, ‘What is God doing there?’

My father answered that God was making double ladders there and on the tops of them he was fastening happiness, so that individual people and whole nations might ascend and descend.

#Cocktail - Master At Arms 60ml Dark/Gold Rum, 25ml Tawny port, 3ml Grenadine. From Zetters Townhouse. If you have the time, it should be a port reduction, reduced by half. Reduces the alcohol content but accentuates the Port flavour. But it works fine with straight port.
