The Bond Market is Reflecting Reality: deVere CEO

The selling pressure in bonds highlights how the bond market is ‘reflecting the reality’, says the CEO of deVere, one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory and asset management organizations. The analysis from deVere Group’s Nigel Green come as the surge in the 10-year yield by approximately 27 basis points over the course of Friday and Monday has sent ripples through the…

Anthony Stern on Web

One of those geezers was Anthony Stern, Ant for the buddies, who aspired to a career as a moviemaker and photographer. Just like Peter Whitehead, Storm Thorgerson, Po Powell, Mick Rock, and Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon. The one being slightly more successful than the other.

I noticed…

The note from Maggie is from the record shop. It’s called ‘The Small Back Room’ which I thought at first was a nod to how it started off in a corner of Aziraphale’s shop but then…

This film of 1949.

“Based on the acclaimed novel by Nigel Balchin, The Small Back Room details the professional and personal travails of troubled, alcoholic research scientist and military bomb-disposal expert Sammy Rice (David Farrar), who, while struggling with a complex relationship with secretary girlfriend Susan (Kathleen Byron), is hired by the government to advise on a dangerous new German weapon. Deftly mixing suspense and romance, The Small Back Room is an atmospheric, post–World War II gem.”

Musk veut cancel Farage.

C'est factuellement positif.

Musk a officiellement annoncé son intention de mener un putsch contre Nigel Farage. Il est à fond dans sa diversion pakistanaise et les tergiversations de ce faisan lui ont très vivement déplu.

Musk ne veut que des exécutants dociles, pas des types timides qui temporisent ou regimbent.

Le parti réformiste a besoin d’un nouveau leader. Farage n’a pas ce qu’il faut.

Je déteste Farage et toute embrouille qui lui arrive est une bonne nouvelle.

C’est un opportuniste de la pire espèce et surtout un antiraciste obsessionnel.

Il ne diffère pas fondamentalement de la clique dirigeante anglaise.

Son Brexit a mené à l’importation légale de millions de Pakistanais, Indiens, Nigérians en lieu et place de Polonais et de Roumains.

Les Européens ont été chassés de Grande-Bretagne.

Le plus drôle c’est que Musk n’est pas plus raciste que Farage.

Ceci dit, Musk est très impopulaire au Royaume-Uni.

Farage en profite pour jouer la carte de la dédiabolisation et dire que si Musk l’attaque c’est justement parce qu’il n’est pas un extrémiste.

Eh bien, c’est une surprise ! Elon est une personne remarquable, mais je crains de ne pas être d’accord sur ce point.

Je continue à penser que Tommy Robinson n’est pas fait pour la réforme et je ne renonce jamais à mes principes.

Les Anglais peuvent mettre autant de députés souverainistes qu’ils veulent au parlement, ils seront noyés sous le même nombre d’Indiens et de Pakistanais que sous la droite affairiste.

Farage n’est pas Enoch Powell et pourtant Powell était lui-même un produit de la classe dirigeante anglaise. C’est est un boomer libéral qui préfère ses « principes » et sa respectabilité à la survie du peuple anglais.

Son rêve, ce sont des Indiens qui boivent du thé avec un chapeau melon.

 NEW : Membre du public à Nigel Farage : « Qu’est-ce qui, chez vous et votre parti, attire les racistes et les extrémistes ? ».

Farage : « J’ai fait plus pour chasser l’extrême droite de la politique britannique que n’importe qui d’autre… l’homme qui a dit les commentaires racistes était un acteur ».

La haine vis-à-vis du prolétariat blanc anglais est un trait fondamental de la grande bourgeoisie britannique. C’est bien plus marqué qu’en France. La classe dirigeante britannique a été si brutale avec lui qu’elle a peuplé des pays entiers avec ses pauvres exportés au bagne.

Que les quartiers des prolos blancs soient envahis de violeurs pakistanais est le dernier soucis de ces gens-là.

Et de toute façon, qui peut prendre au sérieux une monarchie en 2025 ?

Ça ne pouvait marcher qu’à l’époque où il n’y avait pas d’appareil photo.

Quoi qu’il en soit, les dirigeants de partis européens vont réfléchir à deux fois avant de s’associer à Musk.

Le type est imprévisible et surtout incomparablement plus influent que n’importe lequel d’entre eux.

Qui voudrait connaître les conditions de travail d’un salarié indien d’un giga-milliardaire ?

Démocratie Participative

[eaglesnick]

“Whoever debases others is debasing himself.” - JAMES BALDWIN

Over half a century ago Enoch Powell made his infamous "Rivers of Blood" speech wherein he alluded to a prophecy from Virgil’s Aeneid:

“As I look ahead", said Powell,” I am filled with foreboding: like the Roman, I seem to see ‘the River Tiber foaming with much blood'." (Enoch Powell: 20/04/1968)

As with any prophecy, if you wait long enough, it’s almost bound to come true in one form or another. But rather than a “river of blood” caused by irresolvable racial tension, Britain has, in the main, weathered the social changes that mass migration brings with it.

In true dog whistling tradition Powell avoided being overtly racist himself but “quoted” a constituents instead, one who allegedly said:

"In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man"

As we all know this simply did not happen. By 1988 it wasn’t the "black man" who was the enemy of ordinary working people, it was Margaret Thatcher and her Tory government.

 It was Thatcher who raised interest rates and imposed huge spending cuts on the public services ordinary working people depended on. It was the Tory Government that drove unemployment up to 3 million, and it was Powell’s Conservative’s who waged war on trade unions and workers rights. It was Thatcher who was responsible for the deep recession in the early 1980’s and it was Thatcher who, by selling off council houses, kick-started the market trend towards unaffordable rents and house prices we see today.

The last 14 years of Tory government has seen a continuation of Thatcherite policies: public services starved of funding, massive rises in interest rates leading to unaffordable mortgages and rents, rising unemployment, and the resulting cost of living crisis.

Like Powell before him, Nigel Farage likes to blame immigrants for the countries ills and like Powell he is no stranger to the political art of dog whistling.  Talking on TV about the Southport murders he asked the “innocent” question:

“Why is it these days whenever something happens, we are told almost immediately it's a non-terror attack?" (Farage: 01/08/24)

Linking the horrendous murder of children in Southport to other, totally unrelated murders elsewhere in the country, he then answered his own question.

“Whenever these things happen there is a reluctance to tell us the full truth.”

There is the dog whistle. The authorities are withholding the truth about murders committed by non-whites. They are, for some reason known only to them, protecting ethnic minority killers and in all likelihood these murders are terror related. If only the police and the authorities would tell us “the truth” then the subsequent extreme right-wing led riots could have been prevented.

“Sometimes just tell the public the truth and you might actually stop riots happening” (Farage:01/08/24)

Light all bigots – left or right – it is only their version of the "truth" that they are interested in. Using the death of three innocent children to advance your own political ambitions is beyond contempt. Brandon Cox, husband of Labour MP Joe Cox who was murdered in a right-wing terror attack, had the measure of Farage when he described him as:

“nothing better than Tommy Robinson in a suit”

Mass immigration does present many problems but they are not problems that will be solved by whipping up hatred and bloodshed on Britain’s Streets. So far, Powell’s predictions have failed to materialise and his prophesy of violence and bloodshed have come to nothing.

Powell did get something right though.

In 1994 Farage wrote asking Powell to endorse him in his election campaign to become an MP. Powell refused. In the event, Farage came forth, with just 952 votes, only just ahead of the candidate for the Monster Raving Looney Party

If only today’s British electorate could see Farage for what he really is: a right wing, self-serving opportunist with not one shred of common decency.

wip wednesday - the die hard fic, continued

(AKA I'm writing Die Hard featuring Jim from OFMD as John McClane, Ed as Al Powell, but neither of them are cops. Also featuring the Badmintons as asshole cops.)

--

Staring up at the smoking building from the hood of his truck, Ed lifts the radio to his mouth and answers. “Yeah, Cowboy, I’m here. You alright?”

There’s a burst of laughter, followed by a hollow cough. “I’m fucking great, man.”

“You sure? That was a big fucking explosion, mate.” Big enough to take out an entire floor. He sure fucking hopes they weren’t near it.

More laughter. “Estoy bien, lo prometo. You remember those plastic explosives I told you about?”

Oh, fuck, they didn’t.

“Seemed like an appropriate time to use them,” Cowboy says, laughter breaking into a hoarse series of coughs. It’s a familiar sound, one he’s heard many times throughout his firefighting career – the sound of someone struggling to breathe because of smoke. Worry spikes. “Is the building on fire?”

A little bit. Not enough to put anyone on the thirtieth floor in danger, though.

“Nah. She’s gonna need a new paint job, though.”

“Eh, needed a facelift anyway.” Their voice goes serious. “Hey, muchacho, did I hit any cops with it?”

Ed shakes his head, makes his voice firm as he tucks his free hand around the hot chocolate thermos Stede sent with him. “Nope. You hit a few floors up. Looks like you took out the floor that the rockets were coming from.”

“Oh, thank fuck.”          

There’s a noise to the side. Ed looks up and sees Nigel and Chauncey Badminton storming towards him, both looking pissed as hell. “Incoming,” he mutters, setting the hot chocolate aside and sliding off the hood of his car.

“Is that them?” Nigel demands, gesturing at Ed’s radio. “Let me speak to them.”

“Hell no –“

But Nigel just swipes the receiver out of his hand, giving Ed the finger as he snarls into it. “You listen here - I don’t know who you think you are, but you just did millions of dollars in property damage. We don’t want, or need, your help. Do you understand me? Stop trying to help. Because of you, all of my officers down here are covered in glass –“

“Glass?” Cowboy cuts in. “Who gives a fuck about glass? Who the fuck is this? Put Ed back on, I’m not fucking talking to you.”

Ed doesn’t think he’s ever seen Nigel turn quite so red before. He’s normally bored, almost lazy in his command – but now he just looks pissed.

“This is Deputy Chief of Police Nigel Badminton,” Nigel says stiffly. “I’m the one in charge of this situation. Ed will no longer be your –“

“Oh, you’re in charge?” Cowboy laughs. “Did you tell that to the assholes in here? Because from where I’m sitting, it doesn’t look like you’re in charge of shit.”

Now Chauncey’s turning red, too. Ah, twins. He swipes the receiver from Nigel, sputters into it. “Listen here, you little shit –“

“Jesucristo, what the fuck is it with cops? Each and every one of you is a fucking shithead. Stop blabbering and put Ed back on!”

“When you get out of there, I’m arresting you,” Chauncey hisses. “You’re mine, you hear?”

Cowboy gives the tiredest laugh he’s ever heard in his fucking life. “Man, you think I’m making it out of here alive? Fuck off.”

Before Chauncey or Nigel can make it worse, Ed grabs the receiver, drags it out of his hand. He glares at them both, angrier than he’s been in decades.

“Get the fuck out of here,” he says, voice low. “Go run your little show.”

Nigel points a finger at him. “You find us if they tell you anything, or I’m arresting you too, Teach.”

“I already said I would. Go.”

They leave. It’s a fucking relief.

Ed hoists himself back onto the hood of his car, forces himself to breathe through the anger. “Cowboy? You alright?”

“Sí, sí, I’m fine,” they mutter back. “Real fucking glad I’ve got tons of support down there.”

“Hey. You have me,” he says firmly. “Me, and all the firefighters down here, we love you. We’re on your side. A bunch of the cops who aren’t assholes are rooting for you, too.”

He can’t imagine what it’s like. They’re alone, in a burning building, with half a dozen men or more trying to end their life. They’d called the cops looking for help, but now…

Ed feels like shit for calling in the forces. It was necessary, he knows it was, but if it ends with Cowboy being arrested for just trying to stay alive –

“Alright,” Cowboy says quietly. “Gracias.”

“Hang in there, mate,” Ed says softly, wishing he could fucking go in and help them. “Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll be here to help you when it’s all over.”

There’s a long exhale, then another rasping cough. “I’ll hold you to it.”

“Please do. And Cowboy – get yourself out of the fucking smoke, okay? It’ll fuck up your lungs real quick.”

“Sí, don’t worry.” There’s something warmer in their voice, and it’s a fucking relief to hear it. “I’m already on my way.”

Thess vs Non-Proportional Representation

So, with an eighty-six seat majority (and two constituencies undeclared), Labour has won the election by the proverbial landslide. The Conservatives lost 251 seats in total (including Penny Mordaunt, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and that asshole Grant Schapps, which almost makes up for Badenoch and Patel staying). The Liberal Democrats got 71 seats, which kind of surprised me because I'm sorry, but bungee jumping is not a damn campaign strategy. And the Greens and the Reform Party both got four seats. The former is pretty good. The latter is horrifying.

And it's even worse when you look at the actual voting numbers, and start seeing the exact problem with First Past The Post. Focusing on the main parties (and leaving aside Plaid Cymru, SNP - which took a beating but never mind - the DUP etc), here's number of votes to number of seats:

Labour - 9,712,011 (412)

Tories - 6,814,469 (121)

Liberal Democrat - 3,499,933 (71)

Reform - 4,091,549 (4)

Green - 1,939,502 (4)

Other independent parties - 839,492 (7)

Does someone want to explain to me how the fuck that works? It's not that I'm not glad that Reform didn't get more seats than it did, or that the Greens managed to get some seats, but when you look at the actual numbers, Reform voters outnumber Lib Dem voters and yet somehow Lib Dem's got seats in the double digits. Indie parties got more seats combined than Greens or Reform with fewer overall votes!

Basically what overall votes show me is how much worse this could have and should have been. It shows me how many scary fucking people are in this country. Nearly 4.1 million votes for Reform, dear gods. I don't know what in the right wing bullshit is going on in this damn country but dear gods, I hope Labour a) does enough good for the economy that maybe they'll simmer the fuck down and b) doesn't decide to tilt way, way too fucking far to the right to appease these fuckers. They still got a third more votes than the Tories, so that's something, but when an ultra-right monster of a 'party' (actually a corporation, but whatever) gets the third-largest chunk of the vote share, I get worried. Mostly because I and a lot of people I care about are in the demographic that those assholes want to just get rid of.

I still want proportional representation. I mean, this is just gross. I have to dig pretty far down to find out what "the will of the people" actually is. But the will of some of these people scares me, and I can only hope that the current sitting government fixes enough of what went wrong so that it tilts back the other way. This country is so proud of being "the tiny island nation that stood up against the Nazis", and yet nearly 4.1 million voted for Nazis. There are reports of Nigel Farage having said "Hitler was right" (though he has the political acumen not to quite say that nowadays, and apparently blamed pro-Hitler sentiment in his party on an "admin error", and how the fuck you do that, I have no idea, but anyway) and admired Enoch Powell. (Erm, for the Americans - Tory leader in the 60s, was dead set against us joining the European Economic Community, and gave what is called the "Rivers of Blood" speech in 68 talking about how significant Commonwealth immigration and the Race Relations Act would ensure that "the black man had the whip hand over the white man" in 10-15 years. It was a racist manifesto and it was disgusting. I would also like to note that Margaret Thatcher thought that speech had "some meat" and there was also very little uproar about it in the House, so the fact that he got punted out of government and never held a senior seat in government again is kind of a miracle, but never mind.)

4.1 million people voted for bigoted dickcheeses and I don't know where the government is going right now. I'd like to be happier that the Tories are out but I can't. Not until I've seen some evidence that this is actually going to be change for the better. Fingers crossed for the first 100 days, I guess.

Consumer Guide / No.131 / Music promoter Terri Bonham-Samuels "Gets Louder" talking with Mark Watkins.

MW: Academically, what are you most proud of achieving at Manchester Metropolitan University? 

TBS: Definitely passing the papers in statistics. Maths is not my forte. I was also given the second year student award and I came out with a 2:1 which I was so pleased with. 

MW: Non-academically, what were your key learnings from that period of your young life? 

TBS: I didn’t actually live in halls so I was thrown straight into the real world of adult life. I had to learn to cook, clean, pay and manage bills from the off. It was a steep learning curve going from living in a sleepy rural Oxfordshire village to living on the edge of Moss Side next to the Manchester CIty football ground in a flat with bars on the window was quite a culture shock. That period showed me what real life was like and how you are supposed to live it. 

MW: In your view, should 16 & 17 year olds get the vote?

TBS: I think the voices of 16 and 17 year olds is very important and, yes, they should be given the right to vote. I think those who aren’t interested in politics won’t bother to vote anyway so it will only be used by those who are astute enough to make a thoughtful choice. 16 & 17 year olds can get married and leave home so I don't see why they can't vote. 

MW: How important to you is having a pet/s?

TBS: I used to have a pug dog called Toffee, he was a huge part of our world. Animals and particularly dogs bring another avenue to your life. They become a loyal companion and really help your mental health. It’s very sad however once they have gone though so I’m not sure I could have another dog in my life. We currently have three gold fish which are much lower maintenance.

MW: What message has marriage taught you?

TBS: It is not like you see in the movies 🤣 

MW: As a teenager, what music were you listening to? What were you watching? What were you reading? 

TBS: I was listening mainly to Dog Man Star, by Suede (1994) and all the usual grunge and Britpop bands. Timeless, by Goldie (1995) also featured heavily in my life, especially when I was studying for my A-levels, and Live Through This, by Hole (1994). 

I listened a lot to the BBC Evening session on Radio 1 rather than watching TV - but TV wise, it would have been music related so The White Room, Later With Jools Holland and The Word. 

Reading-wise - Melody Maker, Q and the NME. I think as soon as I started getting into music I stopped reading books and just listened to music and went to gigs. 

MW: Why did you become a music promoter?

TBS: I have been involved in music since I was about 14/15, starting out with helping with local youth centre gigs and playing in my own band. I love music but it soon became clear to me that I’m not a natural musician, so I decided to help my friend's bands with the non-musical aspects of being in a band and really I loved it. Promoting bands helped me be part of the music scene even though I couldn't play an instrument and helped me make some really lovely friends.

I started helping my boyfriend’s band out with things, we used to go around Oxford fly-posting and then I started helping book their shows and to get reviews. I used to spend hours and hours burning CDs to be sent for reviews. Thank god for the MP3!  

In 2001, we developed a label called Quickfix Recordings to release music by bands we liked, in particular a girl band called Caliber - who we loved. 

MW: Tell me about some of the acts you are working with at the moment….

TBS: I’m currently working with The Exact Opposite, an indie alternative duo.

Singer Jamie Stuart and drummer Nigel Powell already knew they had chemistry from their time together in Oxford’s Dive Dive, which they’d formed in 2001 after their other bands – Unbelievable Truth and Dustball, respectively – broke up. On ice for 15 years while Nigel and the other two members of Dive Dive played full-time as Frank Turner’s backing band, The Sleeping Souls, and they have now rediscovered that vitality.

I am currently promoting tracks from their album Skill Issue which was recorded at Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead's home studio.

The other act I am working with is The Subtheory, a synth-based dark trip hop project founded by composer, writer, DJ and producer, Andy Hill.

The band are constantly evolving and are really picking up momentum, their last single 'Song of the Damascene' really went down well.

Both bands are great to work with and they have so much determination.  

The Exact Opposite

Electronic Music | The Subtheory | Trip Hop | Psychpop | Downtempo

MW: How does your photography fit into all that?

TBS: I tend to do less photography nowadays but generally if you see me at a gig I’ll have a camera with me. I love taking photos but hardly have time to edit them, unfortunately a lot of the photos and videos just sit on my computer. I have so much footage and photos from being involved in the music scene for so long. 

MW: Would you prefer to spend a free weekend at home or abroad? 

TBS: I’d prefer to be abroad, I hate the cold so give me anywhere in the sun and I would be happy. My favourite place is Ibiza, I love the chilled out vibes of the island and it’s really beautiful. Drinking a cocktail while watching the sunset is a magical experience. People are always shocked when I say Ibiza as they just picture it as a party island but there is way more to it than that. Taking a boat ride around the island and exploring the beaches and coves is a really amazing experience.

MW: If you could have three wishes, what would they be? 

TBS: That would be telling me I am not sure you can give your wishes away otherwise they won't come true…

Episode 534 - The Mail Must Go Through (Sherlock Holmes, Box 13, Richard Diamond, & Let George Do It)

When our radio sleuths check the mailbox this week, they're getting a special delivery of danger! Missing messages, anonymous letters, and mysterious correspondence drive the cases in this week's showcase of old time radio detective dramas.

Then, radio's singing sleuth tries to find out who killed the messenger with Dick Powell in Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on NBC on April 19, 1950). And finally, Bob Bailey is George Valentine, who receives a letter from a woman asking him to catch her killer...but she isn't dead yet in "The White Elephant" from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on September 11, 1950).

Check out this episode!
