A lot of people seem to think he’s Literally Hitler. His views are actually incredibly moderate. He just has the courage to stand up to bullshit and articulate enough to make his case well. That’s why his enemies are so keen to demonise him. He’s a threat.
“Public life on hold as a mark of respect”:
Leadership contest drawn out for a very long time, longer than a general election campaign, while Rome burns?
Period of national mourning arriving just as Parliament should be back on full steam, giving them an extra ten days?
Is somebody playing for time?
I think there’s more going on than they’re telling us. Stay vigilant.
Also, royal train not used because of too much expense and hassle: perhaps one of the more sensible financial decisions made? Although, what a shame the Covid mania deprived Her Majesty of this journey.
And we’re just approaching the Party conference season, with the Labour one starting on the 25th this month, then onto the Tories from 2/10.
A cynic might observe that the slow leadership contest might have kept the late Queen alive a bit longer. Of course, if they hadn’t completed the process before Wednesday last, it would probably have been suspended. In that case, BoJo would have had to go to the funeral as PM!
“Playing for time”: Absolutely.
I keep thinking that the funeral, with all those heads of state in one place, ( because who could refuse to attend the Queen’s funeral ), is just begging for a false/black flag event. And her death at this juncture, just three days after approving a new prime minister, and the continuing/ensuing dormancy of parliament, does seem “timed” ….
… to distract from the increasingly crazy unnecessary energy crisis, and increasingly high inflation generally, the wider deeper social unrest and disintegration, the excess deaths, the increasingly authoritarian policies of the western alliance faced with serious threats to its hegemony.
And with Armenia today asking Russia for help ( under their support/friendship agreement ) in staving off suddenly renewed attack by Azerbaijan, ( who put them up to that i wonder? ) putting pressure on Russian military/resources from their southern flank, it actually does look as if there is a world war developing/in progress.

Thanks Amtrup.
I commented at the time of death that the timing along with the final arrival of the new PM seems a bit coincidental.
I will repeat myself – summat’s afoot.
Well, maybe – but see my comment above. I was wondering whether she might have died earlier, if the Tories had sorted out the leadership. Perhaps she “hung on” to see the débacle come to an end. It was certainly convenient, cf the alternative that KC3 would have to meet Liz Truss & others straight away – unless the leadership change was deferred again.
Will Saint Boris be booed at the funeral? Or will he quietly “asked” not to attend? I bet some authority figures are breathing a huge sigh of relief that he was not PM for this.
“Drivers warned EV charging will be 98% more difficult in 2031 than it is today”
People will do the sums, e.g. at my place this is what it looks like with the price rises to come, quoted on my electricity/gas bills yesterday:
Domestic power from 1/10:
Day rate: 56.8 p/kWh
Night rate (7 hours): 38.79 p/kWh
Petrol the other day: 168.7 p/l (~9.5 kWh thermal, or roughly 3.2 kWh available for traction via my engine, so about 53 p/kWh usable power on the road. I’d have to charge at night only, and would save about £2/100 km – but I’d lose during the day, and even more at fast charge places, like the one or two at my local supermarket (Morrisons).
In reality, there is almost no running cost reduction for battery electric EV’s at present, by the look of it, unless you are in a designated area with extra charges to prevent the use of petrol/diesel fuel. So, why pay more for less?
And there is a related article here: https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2022/09/uk-drivers-could-be-priced-out-of-the-electric-revolution-study-warns/
At first they came for the people against lockdown mandates and I did not speak out – because it’s what I wanted. In fact I encouraged more powers to shut these people up
Then they came for the people against mask mandates and I did not speak out – because it’s what I wanted. In fact I encouraged more powers to shut these people up
Then they came for the people against vaccine mandates and I did not speak out – because it’s what I wanted. In fact I encouraged more powers to shut these people up
Then they came for the anti royalists and people holding blank placards – and I was shocked they would use powers in such a way
Yes, I noticed that the Guardian ( which i skim to see what the propaganda of the day is ) seems somewhat perturbed!![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f642.svg)
