Today was Remembrance Sunday in UK. GB News had live coverage of the Cenotaph ceremonies, hosted by Michael Portillo and Camilla Tominey. Lots of emphasis on the Empire/Commonwealth contributions: every country got to lay their own wreath. After the main ceremony, there was a veterans' pass in review on Horse Guards Parade, with Prince Edward reviewing them.

Thing is, Edward dropped out of Royal Marine officer selection. He is not really a veteran. Andrew and Harry both fought for their Queen (mum/granny) and country, but of course are barred from such ceremonies. I dunno, it's kind of like having Hunter Biden receive your salute - although to be clear, Edward hasn't done any of the drugging or whoring. But he hasn't done any of the deploying or shooting, either.

GBN also interspersed some veteran interviews. Portillo said "I am particularly keen to speak with some Merchant Navy veterans." I bet you are, Michael. I bet you are.

More seriously, Portillo did an interview of a 100-yo veteran. That was pretty cool.

And GBN also covered ceremonies in Belfast, Glasgow, and Rotherham (home of the rape gangs). Camilla Tominey said "it's great to see Rotherham recognized for something positive." There were patriotic murals similar to the Loyalist ones in NI. The Rotherhamites must similarly see themselves as isolated in Indian country.

Farage, as a party leader, got to lay a wreath, just as the Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, and SNP/Plaid Cymru leaders did (the latter two switch off each year to represent both). I did not notice a Green wreath layer.

Later in the day, I watched a YouTube of Farage touring WWI battlefields. He apparently has been doing this since he was a young finance bro. He (or his cue card writers) seemed to know a lot about the battles.

The new female Archbishop of Canterbury led the Cenotaph service, breaking the tradition of the Bishop of London doing so.

Overall pretty cool, as always. CC, JSM

Is this the same Nigel Farage who was once the next PM......what a joke

Let us pray that Farage's political career ends in failure, too. He is a charlatan. The Brexit disaster should have been enough, but he is like the Pied Piper for the Hard of Thinking.

If you want to know what the globalists are thinking, just read IEE's comments.

At least if you want to know what the globalists want us to think, anyways.

My parish (like St Croix, I am Pisco-Palian) is doing a series of lectures on the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell. Today was Death. The rector is English. At the end, he gave an anecdote about how as a young curate in Essex, he was called out to minister to an old lady's deathbed, then was asked to do the funeral. Turns out the family was an East End crime gang. They liked his services so much that they gave him and the undertaker wads of cash, then contributed to the church's renovation. A real life Brit mystery! CC, JSM

…we already had a good stash and a good go set of go bags, a few places to land once they start coming for us, some places to hide, some to seek…

This is an extraordinary benefit of the doubt being afforded Jensen Huang by Trump on matters of national security concern.

I realize I’m in a tiny minority here, but I consider Nvidia selling sensitive AI tech to a Chinese spy after Trump approved the sale despite warnings from US intelligence and Congress about security concerns to be a much bigger story than the Dana White foolish distraction.
