John Gardner’s first #JamesBond continuation novel #LicenceRenewed was published in 1981. It’s been reprinted for its 40th anniversary so I’ve decided to reread it. 1/

@trevorbaxendale Seeing that book triggered a memory of this weighty tome we used to have back in the day. Pretty sure there was a chapter on how to cheat at card games.

The chapter finishes with Bond’s preparations for Ascot - which include boning up on the techniques of the pickpocket, with special reference to Cutpurse’s ‘The Skills, Arts and Secrets of the Dip’ (no image) which he keeps on the bookshelf between these two useful tomes: 23/

Le 7 octobre 1985, quatre terroristes palestiniens ont détourné l’Achille Lauro, un navire de croisière italien reliant l’Égypte à Israël. Ils ont assassiné Leon Klinghoffer, un Américain juif en fauteuil roulant, puis ont jeté son corps à la mer. Le palestinisme.

Christopher Hitchens identifies the creation of identity politics as the moment the left lost. I wonder if he imagined the damage it would still be causing nearly sixty years later.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Hezbollah is attacking our troops and northern communities on an hourly basis. Israel is just restrained in how far into Lebanon it can strike in retaliation. That is unsustainable with daily death notices like this.

Marconi S.W.B.8 HF transmitter. The open framework design was common for this era, allowing operators to easily access and service the vacuum tubes and electrical components.

As a survivor of reading this headline and managing to retain my sanity, I must note that only people with an utterly warped world view could get the living mierda beat out of them by the Guardia Civil a find a way to blame Israel for it.)

In the past week alone there have been eight (8) posts and reposts on this page for the Global Sumud Flotilla. There was not one single post for Irish woman Kim Damti, murdered by Hamas on October 7th.

Amnesty International Ireland welcomes the return of the Global Sumud Flotilla activists who were unlawfully detained by Israel. Yet today, over 9,000 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli custody. Their torture and other ill-treatment is largely ignored by the world.

For me, Makerfield isn’t a stepping stone. It’s my home. The people here are my neighbours, friends & family. I took @Nigel_Farage out in my van to show him the places that matter to me. We chatted rugby league and why Makerfield finally needs a proper local MP.
