We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!

Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good sense.

It's going to be difficult to beat a full list of CIA spies sent unencrypted to the White House.

🎡 Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby?
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying 🎡

To Bobby
YouTube video by Joan Baez - Topic To Bobby

One of Joan Baez's most poignant songs, a cry to Bob Dylan after he, in many people's eyes, abandoned the causes dear to Joan's heart. Dylan was , in later years, harshly dismissive of the song and the sentiments.

Musing on the way there's always one woman so taken with the music that she climbs on her partner's shoulders, takes off her t-shirt and shakes her boobs, I think back to last year and the shouts of "Stop that, you're at midnight mass" and "Gran, for pity's sake!"

Happy Xmas

Good King Treeza: A Christmas Carol Book reviews, especially crime and spy fiction.

Christmas is a time for nostalgia, X-boxes and chocolate. Not Playstations, they should be burned at the stake. But lets not go there. Anyway, here's a blast from the past, from the days Mrs May ruled the nation.

I've almost given up reporting even the vilest threats on Twitter (which are usually racist or misogynist) as nothing is done by Musk mods. Still, at least one is active as I've received a 12 hour lockout.

In tribute to Elon Musk, who has managed to turn Twitter from a $42billion company into a $9billion cesspit and is about to apply the same techniques to most of the USA and the wider world, here's a bit of Bob Marley.
