Also from the Colburne in Bath. Masterful use of paint, colour and light. The hair texture (see replies) is stunning. Can't underestimate what the gold frame does for it, too. Visit and see it close up.

In my speech in Parliament this afternoon, I argue that those who forced the COVID vaccine on our healthy population must finally be held accountable.

This is Igor Oistrakh playing in 1964, also remarkable is how his wife Natalya Zertsalova plays here

1.2% of Britons pay 25% of personal taxes
16,500 millionaires already fled under Labour. 30% of the rest are considering leaving
Now HMRC rings the dinner bell with these letters
When they leave, Labour WILL NOT cut spending. YOU will be expected to make up the difference

Probably my favourite version. It's much less bombastic than Olivier's or Branagh's.

Never debate, plead or argue with leftists. They shut entire right out of discourse to build their power. Now that they've deplatformed & dubbed the right "fascist" for six years, they wanna debate you? No. They are parasites coming for your audience. Ignore them. Defeat them.

โIn the early 2060s, the white British will become a minority within the United Kingdom,โ if immigration trends continue, warns demographer @MorlandDemog.
He says Britain has changed more in his adult lifetime โthan in the preceding thousand yearsโ. In Brent, where he grew up, white Britons are now โperhaps 15% of the populationโ.
โThis is completely unprecedented.โ

Horowitz in Rehearsal at Carnegie Hall
January 7, 1965
Horowitz had not appeared in public since 1953. His great comeback concert at Carnegie Hall would be on May 9, 1965. I love this rather intimate recording of Horowitz in rehearsal at Carnegie Hall on January 7, 1965. Enjoy!

My pleasure, Ian @longitch & I'm very glad to hear that yesterday was just "complicated" rather than being problematic! Here's one that I hope you'll like this #SundayMorning: "St Mark's Church" by Harold Steggles from 1932. His view was taken from Wick Lane as you'll see.
"At its core, Bioleninism proposes a simple mechanism: grant symbolic or material advantage to marginalised groups, creating existential dependency on the order that empowered them."
For the uninitiated, an essay explaining @spandrell4โs Bioleninism, in @ReinersProject: reiners.org.uk/bioleninism-1โฆ

The term bioleninsm appears to have fallen out of fashion in online right circles, but it remains a valid descriptor for obvious reasons.
๐จ โThe More Dysgenic, the Betterโ: Beatrice Adler-Bolton Says the Left Must Give Up the โFantasy of Being Fitter Than the Fascistsโ
At Socialism 2026, Adler-Bolton argues that โfitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalismโ and says the goal should not be to become โmore useful to the ruling order.โ
She says the left should not try to beat fascists โat their own gameโ by becoming โfitter, more eugenic.โ
โIn fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.โ
She closes by arguing that revolution is not โa contest between optimized and properly prepared bodiesโ and that the very idea is itself fascist.
