MEME MONDAY #86

Making a rod for their own back is an ongoing theme at the moment, as we join so many others in exposing the rampant hypocrisy and double standards of Labour's 2020 jumping on the BLM bandwagon.  The death of Henry Nowak in similar circumstances has laid it all to bare.  Why were Labour politicians so keen to bow down in honour of a foreign career criminal who died thousands of miles away, but will not give Westminster-born Henry Nowak the time of day?

Karl was still away at the beginning of last week, so the first three efforts on this list are Richey's work.

Mon 1 Jun - 8 shares.  Starmer's beloved Arse-nal lost the European Cup final
with a woeful penalty and some hilarious commentary: "No-one's played better
than him tonight... oh it's way over!"

Tue 2 Jun - 73 shares.  The bodycam footage ensured this horrific story remained
in the spotlight - where it absolutely should be

Wed 3 Jun - 6 shares.  No tip-offs involved!

Wed 3 Jun - 117 shares.  Starmer was responding to a question posed by Nigel
Farage during PMQs.  Given his legal background and lofty status, he knows
that what he said there is not true in the slightest

Fri 5 Jun - 1,313 shares

Fri 5 Jun - 69 shares.  As cities burned, with dozens of Americans killed in
the violence, Keir Starmer took the knee for George Floyd in 2020.  Six years
later the slogan is the same, but Starmer's message is that complaining about
Henry Nowak's death is 'divisive'

Fri 5 Jun - 346 shares

Sat 6 Jun - 75 shares.  Legacy media made a huge BLM rod for
its own back in 2020

Sat 6 Jun - 28 shares

Sun 7 Jun - 299 shares.  Starmer also made a rod for his own back in
2020, now coming back to haunt him

Sun 7 Jun - 148 shares

Sun 7 Jun - 3,352 shares.  There were various photos of socially
distanced Labour MPs 'taking the knee' outside the Commons.  Olivia
Blake, Tracy Brabin, Chris Bryant, Dawn Butler, Yvette Cooper, Kim
Johnson, Jonathan Reynolds, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Zarah Sultana
were among those pictured kneeling.  Again, these morons made a
rod for their own back!

BOATWATCH #62

A dramatic lull has followed what was a busy week at the end of May.  The last day of May was the latest Channel pick-up, with zero crossings reported in June thus far.  Is it the unsettled weather?  Has Calais finally run low on colonists?  Are the French actively and successfully preventing crossings?

One thing is for certain, normal business will resume shortly.

Total = 13 (down 859 from previous week)

COUNCIL BY-ELECTION 04.06.26

It's the second week of solitary by-elections, but don't worry - June is going to be very busy, with more than 40 seats up for grabs later this month, plus three Westminster by-elections.

Technically, there were two by-elections this week, but the other one was a non-partisan affair for the distinctive City of London Corporation.  This uppity local authority doesn't even call itself a council and refers to its elected members as 'aldermen' instead of councillors.  The most interesting thing about this by-election was that among the field of eight independents, there was a chap called Ronnie Barker!  We'll skip over this contest, as it is of little interest to anybody beyond the snooty realms of central London.

The main action took place in Cumbria...

 

Hawcoat & Newbarns, Westmorland and Furness Council

Ref: 1,139 (48.4%) New

Lab: 576 (24.5%) -9.8%

Con: 447 (19.0%) -21.5%

Grn: 121 (5.1%) New

LDm: 69 (2.9%) -2.7%

Ref GAIN from Con

A stunning gain for Reform, taking the seat at the first time of asking.  The party appeared to take full advantage of the absence of an independent this time around, also taking a big swing from the Tories and a smaller swing from Labour.  They finished with almost twice the amount of votes amassed by second placed Labour, as the Tories slumped to third.  The vacancy had arisen through the relocation of the incumbent overseas for work.

Karl - Ref GAIN ✔

Rich - Lab GAIN ✘

Karl now leads Richey 3-1 after week three

TOON TUESDAY #105

A mixed bag this week, with Tony Blair's intervention the main theme.  His critique of Starmer's government, combined with a swipe at Andy Burnham, led to public squabbling involving the former PM, the current PM, Burnham - even Wes Streeting got involved.  We end this week's selection with a couple of Sturgeon-related efforts.  She knew nothing, right!

MEME MONDAY #85

Karl is currently away and the memes have begun to dry up, hence dwindling returns.  Richey will try his hand over the next day or two, but in the meantime here are the handful that were published last week...

Mon 25 May - 76 shares

Mon 25 May - 8 shares

Mon 25 May - 62 shares.  Judging by the comments, this show is still
fondly remembered more than 40 years on, albeit sadly now a relic of a
more homogeneous past

Wed 27 May - 316 shares

Wed 27 May - 23 shares

Thu 28 May - 394 shares.  Scotland is a land in which legends continue to
be born and this lad follows in the footsteps of the wee lassie who famously
brandished an axe and a knife to ward off migrant deviants only last year

Thu 29 May - 58 shares.  The usual suspects were bussed into Wigan from
the south of England to protest against the election of  more than two dozen
Reform councillors in the recent local elections.  These anti-democratic
fascists are also flocking to the nearby Makerfield constituency to try and
stop Reform from unseating Labour there and - by design or by proxy -
support Burnham's attempt to wrest control of the party from Starmer

Sat 30 May - 5 shares

Just two Facebook Stories were published last week on account of Karl's holiday...

BOATWATCH #61

The twelve day unexplained lull that spanned mid-May is now well and truly behind us.  The explosion in arrivals last weekend was followed by a week of almost daily interceptions - Thursday being the only exception.  Last week the boats were packed with an average of almost 73 colonists.

2026 is now trending upwards again.  Despite all the rhetoric of Starmer and Mahmood, nothing has changed.  We may as well be back in the days of Johnson and Sunak.

Total = 872 (up 191 from previous week)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLINT

On 31 May 1930 a true Hollywood legend was born.  Clinton Eastwood Jr has had one of the longest careers in the industry and directed his most recent film - the critically acclaimed Juror #2 - at the age of 93.  Since 2021, a photo of Eastwood has been a regular fixture in our extensive catalogue of memes.  The photograph in question is a promotional picture from his 2008 classic Gran Torino, in which he both starred and directed.

Karl has selected some of his favourite Eastwood memes here.  Hopefully, it goes without saying that none of these smart quips are attributable to Mr Eastwood himself in any way, but there - we said it anyway...

At the age of 96, Clint Eastwood has not officially retired and we certainly won't be retiring him soon either!
