So here we go with our weekly diary entry:
Let’s get down to the silly business, then.
And on the topic of surveys:
And on a sorta-related note, some other people’s sisters:
That’s enough of that. Now say good-bye and walk away…

LOL Krauts
I see that Krautland politicians are trying to rebuild old habits (dating back to Bismarck’s time):
Since the war in Ukraine began, the German establishment has sought to reintroduce conscription. A year ago, under the previous coalition, a defence ministry document given to Der Spiegel presented ‘options for a German military service model’. Defence minister Boris Pistorius of the Social Democratic Party wanted to make the country ‘fit for war’.
Sehr gut. However, there are a few snags:
The traditional motive of patriotism will not be needed. Indeed, German politicians do not want nationalist AfD supporters signing up. The Bundeswehr will be filled with modern diverse youth, as urged by a recent article in Stern magazine. This latest media support for conscription was inspired by author Tilmun Gerwien, who tells younger compatriots (he being too old for active service) that they must ‘grow up’.
Okay, quit that unseemly sniggering, you lot, because it gets better:
The marketing is aimed at woke youngsters. Females will be encouraged to fight for gender equality, homosexuals for LGBT rights, and brown-skinned incomers for a multicultural Germany.
Yeah, that’s gonna work really well. And guess who they’re going to rely on the most for their recruits?
The front cover of Stern, however, features a white boy. As Remix website observed, when the duty to defend and die for your country arises, suddenly white men are prominent rather than women, Arabs, Blacks or Turks.
Just not the AfD whitebois.
Fucking idiots.
Monday Funnies
And speaking of enthusiasts:
So on we go:
And to end this in similar tasteful manner:
Remember: as the weather starts to get warmer, always use the proper sunscreen or you’ll burn your sensitive bits.
That’s Better
After my earlier disappointment about the Women Of Aintree not displaying their fine form of previous years, my faith has been restored. It didn’t take too long before this:
…changed into this:
I do note, however, that the new “stricter” (more-modest) dress code was missed or ignored by some, with the usual results:
I may have to add Aintree (along with Goodwood) to my Britishland Bucket List, purely for anthropological reasons.
Disappointed!
Well, I have to say that so far this year’s Grand National (or “Tanned National” someone called it, because of all the Trumpian fake tannery) at Liverpool’s Aintree track has been pretty much a bust for us Train Smash Women-watchers. I mean, it just looks like they’re not really trying very hard:
Of course, there have been some close calls:
…and one or two near-misses [sic]
…but let’s hope that things improve as the event progresses, so to speak.
Racism, Straight Up
The British Sentencing Council has decided that starting Tuesday, white men will be sentenced to longer prison sentences than women and ethnic minorities.
From Tuesday, new judicial guidelines in the United Kingdom will introduce sentencing policies that apply differential treatment based on ethnicity, gender, and age—leading to harsher punishments for white men compared to other groups in society.
Under the updated guidelines, judges will prepare pre-sentencing reports where necessary for defendants from ethnic, cultural, or faith minorities, as well as young people under 25, women, and pregnant women. Historically, such reports have resulted in mitigated sentences, including reduced jail time. The practical implication of these changes is that white men, who do not qualify for these reports, will face relatively harsher sentencing outcomes.
I’m not sure that any Brit, ever again, can accuse anyone else of being a racist.
