FREE READ , which then gives access to other stories of the day



Interesting stuff. So how do you disappear off the radar ?

Lost a link just now to Microsoft logging and saving ALL Palestinian phone calls and messages ...

For the Israelis, or some of their AI algorithms, to decide who to kill.

Many reports of journalists being tracked from house to house so far around 200 murdered .

SOME of the RAF flights could track phone calls .

This is very clever and devious

I don't know the Russian for it , but a bit of history --



Cheerio and Gardi Loo! Words of Warning Prompted By Medieval Human Waste Disposal


In 1775, the Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming was granted the first patent for the design of a flushing toilet. Although the Romans were known for their innovation in sanitation, which included public toilets and the sewage system (though this apparently did not improve public health), these facilities vanished from Middle Age sanitation practices. Instead, human waste was disposed in quite an unhealthy manner.

Rich and Powerful Wardrobes/Toilets

During the Middle Ages, flush toilets and indoor plumbing did not exist. There were several ways in which people ‘did their business’. One of these, for example, was the garderobe, which means ‘to guard the robes’. This was due to the fact that people kept their clothes in them, as it was believed that the foul odor in these chambers repelled moths, which would otherwise eat the fabric. It is from ‘garderobe’ that the modern ‘wardrobe’ is derived. Basically, these were seats (either made of stone or wood) attached to a shaft leading to a pit. These toilets were installed in castles and manor houses. In other words, they were available only to the rich and powerful.

Tough titty Mr Starmer, no internships for sons of factory owners

Labour’s Maoist internship scheme elevates loyalty over competence
Restricting eligibility to those from working-class backgrounds prioritises tokenism over ability and will create resentment and division in the long term

Pat McFadden, Labour’s point man on civil service reform, hasn’t proposed open struggle sessions or communist purges just yet. But there’s a Maoist echo in his declaration that Whitehall’s new summer internship scheme will be reserved for those whose parents toiled in working-class jobs when the applicant was 14. Under Labour’s plan, selectors will bin your application if your parents dared to be hotel managers, architects or teachers, let alone chief executives or financiers.

Oh dear, nothing for it but another lol --

I had to go to a jobcentre today for the first time in years. Nothing onerous, I'm being 'migrated' onto Universal Credit and because I don't have a driver's licence and my passport's 10 years out of date I had to go for an ID check. There were more G4S security guards than staff. If anyone wants to bleat about the cost of the DWP maybe take a look at that rather than going after sick and disabled people. As I walked in I headed towards what looked like a reception desk but was quickly intercepted by one of the private sector security goons who insisted on knowing why I was there. Perhaps he sensed my distaste for all he represented but let's just say we didn't hit it off. "Is it raining?" He asked sarcastically looking at my sodden dishevelment. "No," I replied while drying my glasses with my t-shirt as best I could, "What gives you that idea?" It went downhill from there. I refused to give him my name or reason for being there insisting on talking to a member of staff and eventually won the day though I still had to walk the gauntlet of him and his pals sneering at me like I was a colossal dick on the way out.

Seriously though why should anyone be expected to give any information to outsourced security in a jobcentre or anywhere else run by the civil service? And why can't the DWP employ their own security guards without a private company creaming off a percentage of the profits?

Also grow some balls. When I was a teenager signing on in the late eighties the local jobcentre got burned down (overnight, not when anyone was in there) and had to operate from portacabins for ages. I don't condone that, or any threat to the wellbeing of civil servants, but fucking hell it was like walking into a privately run prison today.

Sorry I haven't been round much recently and thank you Refitman and Froggy for keeping this place alive. I'll try to do better.

I've got no excuse really apart from my profound laziness and I've bought a new computer that can play games I've been drooling over for the last few years.
