  • The ‘UK’ prepares for war

    This book, Early Armoured Cars by E. Bartholomew as Shire 209 Album, (Shire Books being a publishing list of true knowledge of Britain in context of history, geography, society, all things Logical and true, and which get purchased very fast off second hand book stands at archaeology conferences for that reason) was purchased by this writer from an Oxfam second hand bookshop between 55’N-56’N.

    Is a bicycle a car? No. The picture above does look more like a bicycle but there must be a tiny engine to be a car, though if it has pedals as looks like then it is a bicycle. Maybe it is a hybrid.

    Fast forward through decades going into a century = 100 years, and how has warfare changed? Flying military changed warfare horribly with the ability to drop a bomb from above after the ground level of millennia (yes millennia because warfare is as natural a part of life and death from possibly everything above amoeba level though at amoeba level there is no doubt some localised rivalry but we will never fully know and never fully get the data on that). Fast forward through the decades of developed amunitions, through nuclear bomb through western global politics (that’s the ‘west’ opinionating on global politics) and amunitions and nuclear and social media totally fused, not entwined but fused. Where is the ‘UK’ in this global state of affairs in now 2026?

    When it comes to actual physical fighting, which is what war is actually, sorry social media inhabitants but war is actually physical, how is the measurement within the ‘UK’ in the preparedness of its government for real war? The government itself, as in elected representatives, are not the ones who are under discussion for how does the ‘UK’ raise an army, it is amongst the mass of citizens from which an army will need to be raised, over and beyond the existing beleagered troops (beleagered by their own government now), and beyond the existing army it is proving very difficult to find a way of raising that army to equal the level of opinion on global matters which comes from the ‘UK’ government.

    So Logically, how different is the ‘UK’ level of defence from this picture of the bicycle/car/hybrid to February 2026?

  • The British Parliamentary system in a civil war

    Multi directional civil war, what happens next?

    2026 in UK politics and the wording is getting violent. The inewspaper 26.01.26 described the manoeverings between Andy Burnham and Sir Kier Starmer as civil war. The general definition of civil war is different factions within a jurisdiction fighting full on fight to seize power in opposite to one country fighting another in the modern nation state, and different to straightforward tribal warfare because the tribes form a different grouping by ethnicity and language even if in close geographical proximity and however subtle compared to the whole of human groupings on Earth (the spinning mass of rock with a tiny life zone around it, contained within the atmosphere and held in place by Helios). A civil war is amongst citizens within the same administration and used to be pure physical normal fighting, and not at all civil.

    The general tone of media and observation is that politics is getting more heated, more complicated, more personal, and with more at stake now with global definitions and actions instead of local or regional, and bigger and bigger projects like HS2 or strange projects like building a vast AI data centre, and the scale of the trouble is looming equally tall with more blame from party to party. Party to party warring talk could never be described as civil war because the different political parties form a different jurisdiction, no different to a state in that sense because the boundary is clear that one political party is not another, even if a politician changes party, the party definitions stay the same.

    It struck this writer a while ago when the Deputy Leader of the Labour party was up for vote, because that is already a division within the same and you would think that the leader of the Labour party would be wanting to appoint his or her deputy, or rather his, because there has not been a female leader of the Labour party to date (and possibly everything could descend into a fine emotional mess if there was). But the leader has to work closely with someone elected by another process other than leader perogative.

    A mayor of Manchester and a Prime Minister in the House of Commons in such heightened speculations and possible conflict if the present Mayor of Manchester does indeed want the throne, Parliamentary throne that is, is beginning to sound like the centuries olde way of doing business which was by power, physical action which produced a clear result, and which more closely resembles the natural world than the modern British political system. Use of the term civil war for the political system is reasonable – and reasonable in that sense is fair, relevant, apt. Trying to build a political administration on reasonableness is not really reasonable and it is all looking like something is about to unravel, not just within the Labour party but across the political groupings in the crumbling and leaking Palace of Westminster, House of Commons to you and me.

    Over the question of the Assisted Dying Bill, at present being held up by every possible toe and finger hold that the Lords and Ladies who are so personally against it can find, yet which has been voted through twice – twice – in the House of Commons for part of the ‘UK’ of England and Wales, that could also be seen as a civil war, one Parliamentary institution fighting another. And set against the strange assumption of power again by the House of Lords to state that the ‘UK’ must ban social media for young people, like Australia is doing, is an equal and opposite war against the Commons. If the House of Lords can set out to block a legislation where their only power it to work on it to get it passed, and at the same time set out their own statement that a law should be passed on social media, what does this say constitutionally? Do the House of Lords want to change places with those in the Commons? That is what civil war means, a fight for the top power of which only one person or party can hold.

    We have no written Constitution in the ‘UK’, no wish to return to pre the welfare state days or big State providing much of life, and no court of philosophy over and above all the state institutions. So if the system does fragment and a civil war between the Lords and Commons does bring down the credibility of the Commons, as seems the Lord intend over the hold up of the Assisted Dying Bill for Terminally Ill Adults, what on earth happens? The Earth will not change, but society in the ‘UK’ only references human made systems and such a situation has no framework for a governing system which collapses in on itself. One year on, just into 2027, what of governance in the ‘UK’? It is a really serious impasse.

  • Fighting at the final of the 2025 African Cup of Nations: it’s just not cricket

    So what is cricket? Everyone knows its the large green grass pitch, way larger than a hockey or football pitch, with the focus on bowler and batter in front of 3 little upright poles with one perched on top, and several fielders around the edge to run fast and get the ball before it hits the perimeter and scores 6, throw it back for team mates to try and get the batter out. The players wear white, the umpires wear a smart sort of coat and a brimmed hat and several of them because of the size of the pitch, and the spectators sit around the edge good humoured, often with a book in hand to read a few lines during the times of changeover of end, or the bowler making the long walk back to the start of another run, a little jump, arms circle around like a windmill, and the leather ball flies towards the batter, thwack, the batter’s wooden bat hits leather ball, and another brief burst of activity erupts, before repeat, eyes to book, and general peace and goodwill amongst all.

    For interest this writer looked up the history of cricket more specifically than just general knowledge and because of its distaste of cut and paste when IP is not clear, the website of the ICC gives a potted history of cricket as from the gentle Weald lands of SE England, and the fact of 1745 the first recorded Women’s Cricket, thereby negating the modern feminist narrative of being excluded from everything in the public realm. Men, ladies, umpires, regular spectators and the Barmy Army, only a tongue in cheek army, all formed a settled part of local and national life for a very long time and which ticked along very happily. It still does for some, but like everything slow and concentrated is not possible for the i-phone generation and who don’t read books, cricket is also falling to the one-day quick knock out, but so far the real full game over several days still exists and so still cricket is cricket in every sense of the word.

    https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/cricket/history-of-cricket/early-cricket

    If something is not cricket it could be any other sport like football or tennis or hockey, because cricket is only cricket, governed by the ICC, unless it is French cricket and that still is cricket-like but does not have, or need, any international governing body.

    If something is “just not cricket” then that’s a whole different thing altogether. It leaves the physical fact of a particular sport which like a national territory cannot be another territory, and goes into the realm of metaphor. It is not that one-day exciting cricket is just not cricket, it is not referring to cricket at all. And it could be referring to anything at all, that something is being done in a way which slightly demeans the original. What it actually means, this writer has just looked it up, Cambridge Dictionary, ‘it’s not fair, honest or moral,’ Wikipedia, ‘unsportsmanlike conduct in sports, business, or life in general,’ and Collins Dictionary, ‘unfair or unreasonable behaviour.’

    Scenes of fighting between just about everybody at the Rabat African Cup football final provide a very useful viewpoint onto the world of sport itself and the now global organisations. The Daily Mirror – link below to avoid any IP cut and paste – has some photos of what it describes as the crazy scenes, and lists 11 stages of the descent into chaos – the match descended into chaos, Senegal staged a dramatic walk-off, controversial refereeing decisions sparked fury, Sadio Mane acted as peacemaker, a missed penalty left a star in tears, Morocco used ‘dirty’ towel tactics (i.e. stealing), Pape Gueye secured the dramatic victory, press conferences collapsed as coaches clashed, clashes erupted in the stands, official condemnation from CAF and FIFA, illness outbreak decimated Senegal’s squad.

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/afcon-final-chaos-senegal-morocco-36575576

    It could be said that the African Cup of National 2025 final, played just into 2026, was “just not cricket.”

    If the scenes are taken according to an internationally accepted standard of football then a localised scrap is expected, with the possibility of a player being sent off or getting a red card if it was just too much intent to fight, but its a physical sport (the men’s game) and what is fighting or just giving a shove is a fine line, and expected. So events in Rabat did not meet the internationally accepted standard of behaviour under FIFA.

    Government relations between Senegal and Morocco, which do not share a geographical border, are very good, very good. The two governments keen to move above the scenes in Rabat have launched the 15th session of the Morocco-Senegal Joint High Commission to take place on January 26-27th in Rabat, with an economic event held alongside to further strengthen business and culture ties. The last Joint High Commission took place in Dakar in 2013 and at governmental level the ties are strong.

    As the 2030 World Cup is scheduled to take place in Morocco, the international FIFA and the higher echelons of the football organisations have 5 years to get their heads around the recent scenes and the arrival of global football onto the violence strewn pitch, images and memories of January 2026. Not an easy task.

    But at ground level, literally and metaphorically, amongst humans with no government role or ideal to uphold, behaviour does not adhere to internationally recognised standards. The regional nature of violence does not really fit into United Nations global standards and definitions, or the FIFA organisation. The centuries old game of cricket the slow way, over a few days, with generally similar cultural norms of players and spectators, including the Barmy Army who would never engage in towel stealing, possible poisonings, umpire hat stealing, etc., would never have to get the head around how to explain localised events with the ICC.

    Events in Rabat could not be clearer on the disjunct between global organisations and local cultural norms. Violence in west Africa is a cultural norm in both acceptable levels of violence within family groups, adult on children (women and men), male on female and female on male, the level of cultural violence is high. Someone would say, how insulting, prove it. But it does prove and anyone knowing anything about west African society and culture knows that. Also in Africa (the huge land mass which has no one identity other than the name extended from either a Yemenite chieftain invading north Africa in C2 BCE or the Romans applying Africa Proconsularis to what is now Tunisia, or probably from both) are still the distinct tribes with distinct territories and languages, with the western national lines of ‘nation state’ drawn across complicated tribal lands. With such reality of society having been long supressed in the ‘UK’ and any public violence put swiftly in prison by Sir Kier Starmer, such general scenes as at Rabat are rarely seen because of the disjunct between global organisation and politics, and the ordinary societal behaviours of biological humans on physical Earth.

    Climate and culture – two very obvious facts that global organisation has reached its limit. Climate of sports events which were never played out of their climatic region and relevance before the last few decades, and cultural levels of acceptable, and normal, behaviour are two very clear evidences that human behaviour on Earth is far from logical. Or is there three? Sadio Mane acted as leader, not a democratic vote or consultation or forum, but one person acting as leader in charge. From that something was salvaged, and the western media makes him a hero. But the function of leadership is shown, the action and the outcome, yes, this event in Rabat shows three very clear evidences that human behaviour on Earth is far from logical.

  • Weather warnings and ‘UK’ takes leave of its senses, requiring SAR (Search & Rescue)

    In the last few months with several named storms (big storms meaning huge waves, 80 mph winds, heavy rain, ice, etc.) and the Christmas period and the New Year period there have been quite a few deaths of humans who inexplicably went into the sea. The media does not report it as a suicide or a crime of neglect of a minor with one of them being under 16, but as a massive hype of drama and action, and in one event in Devon, a man rescued by a passer by was given much air time by Radio 4, high as a kite on the events and how he was rescued, yet two other people at the location were missing and found drowned, but the Beeb reported it from the high as a kite drama.

    After Storm Goretti was announced, severe weather warnings, damage to property and infrastructure expected, the mountain rescue teams in Cumbria’s Lakes & Peaks, and mountain rescue in Scottish high-land locations were called out to humans stuck and injured in difficult terrain – after a severe weather warning had been publicised so well that no one would be in doubt of what was coming. And it did come. And in stormy weather over those last few months, the RNLI and local rescue services were called out to pull humans out of heavy seas – after a severe weather warning had been issued.

    On the gov.uk website under Search and Rescue in ‘the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’ the following Introduction is made (and the below is cut and pasted from the gov.uk website and this writer is not clever enough with the tech to put it into italics):

    “Search and rescue (SAR) is variously defined across organisations and authorities but in essence it is an activity, normally co-ordinated by a rescue co-ordination authority, where available personnel and assets are used to locate persons in distress, potential distress or who are missing, and recover them to a place of safety, providing for their initial medical care and other immediate needs as necessary.

    The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) provides a comprehensive search and rescue service for persons reported to be in distress or missing on land, on the sea or in the air. The integrated organisation of search and rescue co-ordinators and search and rescue assets, using a comprehensive communications infrastructure, provides a well-developed search and rescue model which also supports the UK’s wider civil contingency arrangements.”

    The gov.uk website lists the various International Treaties under which SAR services in the ‘UK’ must rescue those in difficulty:

    Obligations

    The UK organisation for civil maritime and civil aeronautical search and rescue is derived from the UK Government’s adherence to the following international Conventions:

    There are no International Conventions governing land search and rescue. However, legislation governing Police activity places an obligation on Police Services to protect life and property, and the provision of land SAR services derives from the legislation set out below.

    Legislation

    There may be additional legislation or obligations that impact search and rescue in the UK.

    Scope of search and rescue in the UK

    The UK responsibility for maritime and aeronautical SAR likes within the UK Search and Rescue Region (UKSRR) which covers approx. 1.5 million square miles, Annex A. Inland SAR in this context is that which occurs above the Mean High Water Spring tides (MHWS) on UK land masses.

    The key function for search and rescue in the UK is to ensure a co-ordinated response to SAR emergencies to search for, rescue or recover those missing, or in distress or potential distress on land, sea and shoreline areas including tidal and inland waters, and to co-ordinate those actions. This includes supporting, monitoring, and advising aircraft, vessels, or persons, who may be in difficulty but not distress, until they reach a place of safety, often unaided.

    The above also, cut and pasted from that gov.uk website. Now, the dates of all those various international and national obligations are between the date range 1925 – 2012 and 100 years is a long time ago but so is 2012. Since 2012 society in the ‘UK’ has changed out of all recognition, societal practices have changed out of all recognition, and since covid lockdown a new madness has taken hold that citizens seek thrills and hypes and media glory, and trust the iphone will get them safely up an icy mountain and down again in their plimsolls and as dark has come in.

    100 years ago if a human went into heavy seas after a weather warning had been issued and stressed, well, it probably wouldn’t happen. The healthy and hearty groups of sometimes very old humans who swim every day off the pebbly south coast would never be so stupid to go in heavy seas, because the point is healthy cold water and some of their ages prove that, not to drown themselves and some passers by preferably as well. Never would they do anything which was a high likelihood of an air and sea rescue, never would they treat other humans like that. 100 years ago, or even in 2012, humans were not en masse going up mountains in Cumbria and Scotland and north Wales at all, or international tourists driving the 500 around the top of Scotland, many places had no one around in winter months, now 365 days a year, and apparently 24/7, the humans are acting contrary to nature, society and any shred of common sense.

    What if the government – who has the responsibility of governance of a people and to ensure services run well and systems work well – was to impose a news black out on the now dramatic BBC Radio 4 that in the next storm which will soon be here or next Christmas and New Year for the festive fun seekers there will be no mention of those who have died in the sea or up mountains?

    What if the government – who has the responsibility of governance of a people and to ensure services run well and systems work well – was to issue an edict, or a rescinding of all those international treaties which are made for situations of accidents and unforeseeable events, not for the ‘UK’ of 2025/2026, and to mandate to all SAR services, the official and the voluntary, that a call out to someone in the sea during a storm or up a mountain after a weather warning had been issued and not a farmer getting a sheep or a cow, that call would just have, ‘Sorry mate, not possible, you made your bed, you lie in it (or rather, die in it)’.

    It’s easy to tell who is stuck while in the course of a job, like farmers, or a nurse, or a long distance lorry driver, or a fishing boat, and 24/7/365 the government’s edict would of course make SAR available and put all resources behind that. For those who have taken the choice to act against all advice and which often results in a passer by dying as well, and sometimes a mountain rescue severely injured for life which has happened in Cumbria, the SAR is simply not available.

    For a start the gov.uk website could announce that apart from those doing their jobs, all the international treaties are now n/a, unilateral detaching, there is no SAR for anyone in the sea or off ground level flat paths in rural and mountain areas between Autumn and Spring Equinoxes, when Helios is at the lowest half of the turning year (on this mass of rock spinning in space). It could also announce there is no chance of sueing – suing? that spelling doesn’t look right – a local council, local police force, local highways, local coastguard, nobody. And with the government mandate to the hysterical BBC Radio 4 news programmes, there is no reporting and absolutely no ‘voice of the survivor pulled from the waves,’ having their moment of glory. Furthermore, bodies will have to be retrieved by those who want to, otherwise they go the way of all the natural world.

  • The Assisted Dying Bill: House of Lords kills the Commons

    …. in attempt to block the humane Bill to allow a peaceful passing of those with a terminal illness facing a bad end.

    It’s a complicated matter this process of the Assisted Dying Bill currently passed by the Commons on 20th June 2025 by the 314 in favour, 291 against. Sure, this is a pretty close vote but still a clear vote for the Bill, but Parliament is not the population of the ‘UK’, England and Wales, Britain, however that is said. This Bill is for citizens in England and Wales, and the same Bill content for Scotland is currently at Stage 3 in Holyrood, where again MSPs are not the population, only the representatives of the function of governance. Within the citizen opinion, including Christians, medical staff, vets of course because with animals that is considered the kindest and most obvious course of action and how barbaric it would be otherwise, some hospice staff, some like Markus Campbell-Savours MP who started as opposing the change in law and then looked at the evidence and the facts and changed his vote, and the so many people who don’t quite know how it would work because it is a change but who have witnessed awful and prolonged scenes of someone they know very well and simple biological normality says that is wrong to prevent someone passing out of hell on earth and into a peaceful passing on to avoid the hideous suffering and forced medical applications and leaving their loved ones traumatised for their own remaining lifespan.

    Those against the Bill use a lot of air time and press space and Parliamentary time and now the House of Lords time to give their own personal opinion. Amongst the general public, the overwhelming percentage is for this facility to be available, and it is through the Commons, just required to be scrutinised in the Lords (and Ladies), but under the umbrella of the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949, the role of the Lords is only to scrutinise what is moving through, not to take hijack.

    If anything has shown up the strange state of affairs in the ‘UK’, the devolved ‘countries’, the power that ‘medicine and science’ now has, the departure from realities of a biological human being, the new power of the individual opinion over the power of an individual to say they’ve had enough suffering, and the question of governance in where does that yes or no exist in practice, then this Bill has it all.

    You’d think that any MP, MSP or HoL member on the left of centre (that’s how ‘UK’ politics is defined) would be very against this Bill because the State now has full control over an individual and is kind and prevents all suffering etc., and it would be the ‘right’ who still understand functional processes who would be on block behind it, but this Bill has had every cross reference and juxtaposition possible. Lord Charlie Falconer, with the solid government legal career and the long time brains and philosophy behind the Parliamentary processes of this issue and Kim Leadbeater MP who has succeeded to at last reach this common sense of the Commons and a vote For, both are in the Labour camp. The Conservative Leader of the House of Lords has said, ‘Peers are entitled to scupper the defective Assisted Dying Bill,’ and the usual vocal range of individuals who are dead set against it for religious zealot or ‘disabled protectors’ are not looking at the function of scrutinising a Bill to make implementation as well worked as possible, but the opposite, no matter what the Parliament Acts say, now matter what the majority of citizens want, no matter the vote in the Commons June 2025, the House of Lords are declaring they are not part of the parliamentary process but their own empire. How bizarre a juxtaposition is that. Because in trying to find every blocking move possible, from time to objections to fake questions on more clarity, to make this Bill die a quiet and low key death (just what the Bill wants to give genuinely suffering terminally ill people), the Lords are killing the parliamentary process itself, and even if this Bill does make it through the hijacking of the Lords, still the parliamentary process will be shown now to be made up of individuals out for their own agenda.

    This perilous situation could show a constitutional crisis if really scrutinised, which is probably not a good idea to do, the evidence and reality is too awful to contemplate. The Island of Man in March 2025 completed its process, with citizens, both Houses of the Tynwald Parliament all pretty much on the same page. After years of debate yes, but the process was smooth, the upper house agreed some amendments, the Bill had been brought by a GP himself, and good clarity is written in and all ready to go. Ready to go that is for the folks of the Isle of Man, but go that is for final assent because the Isle of Man is a Crown Dependency therefore the Crown of the ‘UK’ is going to be granting the final permission for what has already smoothly moved through the Tynwald.

    Furthermore, the approval of Assisted Dying law in Jersey’s State Assembly in May 2024 and a draft law published last September 2025 and which is now undergoing the usual scrutiny and discussion which is the job of those in governance, and hardly likely to have the same scenes of the House of Lords, Jersey also will be waiting patiently with their large parchment, waiting for that Royal Seal of Approval.

    How curious is this under constitutional law. The Crown has power over Crown Dependencies in matters of military and international relations, and Assisted Dying for somebody pretty much there already is you would think hardly a military matter and definitely nothing to do with international relations. Quite the opposite really, it is the most domestic, most basic, most biological and natural thing possible, way below politics or the bigger picture of society. So what a curious situation that the smooth passage of the Isle of Man Assisted Dying Bill is just waiting for King Charles to give his assent, while the famous Palace of Westminster and the House of Lords are in this difficult political balance, and the Scottish Holyrood Parliament have also the individuals who cannot think outside of their own heads and lives and would very much like the Stage 3 to be killed and not become law. What a strange situation.

    If King Charles signed the document and gave it a great big wax seal, pressed his ring into it and said, ‘Well done guys, you’ve done a great process there, lucky citizens in the Isle of Man,’ what would happen in the House of Lords and in Holyrood opponents? It would highlight the really really tenuous historical basis within the ‘UK’ and in these times of the collapsing ‘world stage (only a Shakesperian fiction and yet another fiction the ‘UK’ built its modern framework on) the governance of the physical land area of Britain in the general sense and those 3 Crown Dependencies of Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.

    King Charles, and his late mother, are people who understand the natural world, despite the royal birth both understand biology and the practicalities of running rural life and the inevitability of birth leading to passing on because that is what existence is within this atmosphere on the spinning mass of Earth, so what would happen if in this bizarre stand off, King Charles was to seal his great Seal on that straightforward legislation in the Isle of Man, and have the wax warmed ready for Jersey to present their parchment? For the sake of the present confusion in the ‘UK’ this would be a very simple solution to end the impasse and to show the facts.

  • ID cards for all human and canine citizens in the ‘UK’? A no-brainer.

    A no-brainer in the Merrian-Webster online dictionary is ‘something that requires a minimum of thought,’ and in the Collins online dictionary as ‘something so obvious, simple, etc., as to require little thought.’ AI also pops up a definition on a screen, but this blog does not read AI. Every definition of a no-brainer means basically the same thing, apart from as the Collins online points out, there is a very informal USA slang which could occasionally refer to a person as a no-brainer, meaning they are really stupid, but even that is a bit stupid because there are plenty more words to describe a stupid person which don’t require four syllables, so the usual use of a no-brainer is not about a person themselves, but the action, the proposed plan, the intention to do something which has a tangible evidence.

    Someone might say this title sounds a little muddled. ID cards are for humans who sure, are citizens, but dogs could not have an ID card because they are animals, they don’t have pockets or wallets or an i-phone to have a digital ID. Animals come under licences or certificates, and dogs live with a human who will have an ID of some sort, or live in a charity animal rescue home when it’s owner cannot care for it due to ill health or unforeseen circumstances, or the foreseen circumstances of being a lifestyle accessory and after a big hype then finds itself in an animal rehoming place but that place will have the relevant Council paperwork for trading and animal matters.

    In the ‘UK’ at present an individual human does not have a government ID card but a variety of all sorts of different ID options, and an individual dog does not have its own ID either. Cats wish to be stated that they stand apart from discussions of this nature.

    ID cards are about citizens, and a citizen is the same term for every human citizen because it is not the actual person even though we are ‘citizens’, but it is the legal bond between a governing power and the people of its jurisdiction. This writer studied law a long time ago and finds the terms jurisdiction and jurisprudence endlessly fascinating and unfortunately dropped from common parlance in the rise of the ‘Cult of the Individual.’ Before a digression slips in, the link between a governing power and the people within that jurisdiction – the area of power, control, responsibility, agency, same page – are citizens because that link creates a national country which is on geography but is the actually the geography. Someone from another national jurisdiction might be visiting another geographical region, but it does not make them a citizen when they arrive because they do not have that legal, governmental, citizen link. So a citizen is defined by that legal link of government and governance top down (two more deeply relevant words there, g+g), and of course everybody knows, a citizen in the noun is a human being with both rights and responsibilities under that legal link, back to the governing power which issues the citizenship.

    So an ‘ID card’ is the shorthand for not any ID, not a passport, driving licence, birth certificate, or a few other possibilities which every citizen of a jurisdiction carries, either in its pocket or on its i-phone. The website of World Privacy Forum shows the areas of Earth (that spinning mass of rock in space, held in place by the Light and gravity of Helios)where ID cards are compulsory. This means that every citizen of those nation states all carry the same ID card in the generic sense, with their individual identity on that generic card.

    https://worldprivacyforum.org/posts/national-ids-and-biometrics

    Whether an ID card is ‘mandatory to carry at all times,’ or every citizen has an ID card is only a semantic difference. It is the fact of the citizen ID which is at point here. In the ‘UK’ we do not have citizen ID cards but we did in the National Registration Act 1939, in WWII, and kept until 1952 when Sir Winston Churchill’s government abolished the concept as not just unnecessary but ‘not British’. The population of the ‘UK’ in 1952 was just over 50 million people. Because identification is such a very necessary link in governance, or who is it that is being governed and has these rights and responsibilities, just as penguins can identify other adults and baby penguins out of thousands, such is the care the adults penguins provide with their offspring, the concept of a societal link is the point of this blog. Dyslexia may have taken over there. The point was that for a group of the same species to survive, there has to be that governing link which links the same species, although many many species inhabit the same patch of land and many billions inhabit the Earth, as it spins in space. The information on the Institute for Government’s website gives such a very useful overview of the question of ID cards in the ‘UK’ (apostrophes this blog’s, not the IoG)

    https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/digital-id-cards

    https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/government-still-has-questions-answer-digital-ids

    Tony Blair, of the government which upended the global education network into a bubble which is rapidly collapsing leaving millions in a desperate state, often in a foreign country and unable to go back to the apparent lack of freedoms where they came from, amongst all the other collapses in the ‘UK’ from that era, is in favour of ID cards, though on his ‘Institute for Global Change’ (whatever on Earth that means) webpage states ‘digital ID systems improve governance, facilitate greater inclusion, fuel economic growth, and help governments achieve their core goals.’ The benefits to governments are stated as administering the benefit system more smoothly, and the NHS, and keeping personal data actually safer rather than having many different forms of ID. The last point seems completely valid.

    This blog observes the other direction of travel, as it were, and instead of going outwards into ID cards making it easier to administer governance to the whole world, fuel economic growth however it is believed that would happen, and greater inclusion, this blog is observing what would happen if ID cards or digital was mandated for every citizen of the ‘UK’. The various discussions and half starts of projects, as detailed on the IoG website, since 1952, are on the same legal concept of the link between governing body and humans who are called citizens, the ID card which formalises that neutral fact of the citizen.

    However, from 1952 the society of the ‘UK’ has changed out of all recognition. The population of just over 50m has risen to c.70 million, that’s a rise of 40%, and now instead of localised societies, often in situ for 100s and even 1,000s of years, regional societies formed by the very different geography, accents, agricultural produce or fishing (before decimated by the EU), with the cities and major towns all with the groupings of ethnic minority people from all over Earth, as were the different white people spread over the ‘UK’ from Irish red and brown to the Swedish white sort, the Welsh again, Scotland ranging all from Irish to Norse people, and the Cornish a distinct physique and language, with most humans very close to production of vegetables, meat, fish if coastal, fruit, fresh water, all in their place within the seasonal year. In 2025 with societal collapse, systems collapse, the Palace of Westminster needing urgent repair, the political parties elected on protest votes, appeals to ‘the young’, the stated democracy bringing people from all over the world to have their voice, freedom, opportunity, individual identity, and be assured of guaranteed economic prosperity and not just that but growth, the ‘UK’ is in such a very great opportunity to examine this question of the link between citizen and government.

    In general a mass of confusions can only be sorted if there is a common denominator, and a common denominator in maths is the baseline number of a fraction so 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5 all relate to each other in some way, and as a percentage that is 40, 60 and 80 (just check that, yes, it is) because a percentage is governed by 100 which creates the top down governance to define all the figures, or citizens. Why is the ‘UK’ since the time of reality of war had faded so opposed to ID cards? Reform are against it, Nigel Farage for again the fact that it is just not British. So what is British? The map of countries, the 131 of them, which have ID cards are about functional government, so why in this time of absolute collapse and impending god knows what would a government in the ‘UK’ not want to introduce an ID card, hard copy or digital?

    If there would be one action to rapidly bring many many issues under one alignment, if the centralised link between citizen and gov was an entity in itself, how much in percentage figures would the so many aspects of societal collapse just lose their identity, from the fact of having that identity card? Just by implementing one for each citizen – not offering or encouraging or ‘nudging’ or persuading – how much would society order itself around the concept of the citizen and the restoration of nothing more than the survival of a society requiring a balance of both rights and responsibilities. With everything now filtered through the individual and the days of WWII when raising an army was a reality, and the citizens all formed round the necessary actions for that, and the link land, each human, government was too obvious for anyone to know how things would look in 2025, if one single thing could bring some clarity to the multiplying questions faced by a collapsing society, why not do it?

    Humans are humans, canines are canines, but the concept of ID this blog sees as the same. The concept in really general terms is what is it and what function does it fulfil, and is there any difference between the clarity which ID cards bring to raise the human citizens above their ‘individual rights’ to being just one common denominator of millions within a nation but that new identity which is formed which links government to humans. With the dog population having risen to about 13 million in the ‘UK’ in 2025, for all the reasons of the pandemic when people suddenly wanted a puppy to cheer them up and puppy farms sprang up overnight to provide the new commodity and the dog food industry saw the next economic boom, the dog coats and accessories industries jumped fast into smart outfits for all occasions, the dog sitters, dog walkers, dog psychologists, dog hairdressers, dog therapists, all entered the boom with largely the female humans responsible for this strange madness of creating a sweet little child not from the normal practices of the goodness of men and women interaction (and which was largely good until the ‘women and girls’ misanthropy created the new witch hunt, now against males). The millions of dogs now, 13 million of them, form a whole new society both in the link the (mostly) females have created with a dog instead of a man and which can be controlled and projected onto with ease and the societal chaos in dog bites, plastic bags of dog poo left around, if it is picked up and really why is it not used as fertilizer or something, the new societal issues of vet bills, the need to work from home because of the dog, and of course the inevitable end result of many dogs just being put out to a dogs home when it does not fit anymore with requirements, just as the females now put the men out when they want some of their own individual expression time and space. It is also said to be a ‘British thing’ to love animals, though the French in a much bigger land area have only about half the number of dogs in the jurisdiction of the French government, and in France the link between chien, owner, government is a much clearer alignment than in the ‘UK’. Everyone is more on board, on the same page, the citizens to the government et les chiens avec leur citoyen francais (which has accent of course).

    If a dog licence was required for ownership of any dog from a little pooch to a big strong dog, costing say £10, how would that automatically reduce this new societal crisis of over 13 million dogs in the ‘UK’? It would do, that’s just a fact not an opinion. Why? Because less people would get dogs on a whim, therefore less dogs would be soon taken to an overflowing dogs home, and there would be less of a marketing magnet for venison and duck dog food at £9.99, less of a market for dog coats, hairdressers, psychologists, attacks by off the lead dogs, etc., and less people would find themselves facing a large vet’s bill. Would the RSPCA think that is a good idea? Would the police? Would the many different dog’s homes? Would a societal poll in a neighbourhood, anonymous of course? All probably yes, this blog does not want to assume for anyone. If a government was faced with Yes or No, introduce a dog licence costing £10 to the local council before ownership of a dog is legal, the same response would raise to the human ID card – not fair on the individual, and for the dog’s licence no doubt, how could people be expected to pay £10?

    Human ID cards and dog licences can therefore both be taken as the same governmental issue, and a healthy governance link between citizen and government could put both in place within one month, or thereabouts. Implementing both actions would rapidly bring an alignment, and in alignments that which is not in alignment rapidly falls away because the common denominator forms a living identity. That is not meant to be mystical talk but merely the living reality of the seen and unseen which links a functioning society, of humans or bees or geese or ants or mackerel.

  • Wise men follow the Stars

    The Star of Bethlehem, a UFO, fabrication, or astronomical computation?

    https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/star-of-bethlehem-stopping-comet

    The fixed date of December 25th when the Christians mark the birth on Earth of the son of God stands as a bit of an anomaly in these deep winter weeks in the northern hemisphere, although taken to its logical conclusion, the outcome is very clear.

    Helios at Winter Solstice has an overarching logic. Incrementally the Light from the Sun moves down the horizon, rising and setting lower and lower in east and west until that deep place of pause around the 21st, given as 3:03pm GMT this year in clock accuracy, and laid out by the priests of olde as in the evidence at Newgrange where the newborn Light of the World enters the small portal above the entrance at the turn again from Tropic of Capricorn on its way up to the Tropic of Cancer. We know now that the tilt of Earth on its axis produces this effect but Light is light, and life within the atmosphere depends on it, and which is why in times past the reality of food supplies, frozen winters, circadian rhythms, and the survival of a small society depended on knowing ‘the time of the year.’

    In pre written calendar times the knowledge of passing of time during the dark months would be very useful, and it was known, as Newgrange demonstrates, and the work of Prof. Alex Thom has measured. Prof. Thom, 1894-1985 grew up in 55′-56’N and although his extensive work was roundly put aside by the growing scientific disciplines and specialisms and sub divisions, his work has been proved, and back in those days, life on Earth was in 3d. Not on a digital screen, but from one place and one place only on Earth, in a landscape, with the vast arc of the starry sky overhead. With his son, Dr. Archie Thom, and Dr Euan MacKie, another independent worker therefore able to observe natural facts, their body of written work of astroarchaeology stands as a comprehensive and systematic portrayal of the comprehensive and systematic activity of Neolithic societies in ancient Briton and western Atlantic seaboard. What is astroarchaeology? In a nutshell it could be said to be the societal functioning in alignment with Earth, Helios, Selene, and the brightest stars in the sky at that time.

    Prof. Thom, Dr Euan MacKie, 1936-2020 and down to the present day of Duncan Lunan continuing the work https://www.duncanlunan.com/thestonesandthestars.asp

    With the geographer’s eye and knowledge again, Robin Heath – Bluestone Magic, Temple in the Hills (Bluestone Press) in 2016, right into the big scientific data era, shows how humans marked out their calendar, as did all human societies over Earth as the available Light of the Sun moved from the tilt of the Earth, and some still do. Robin Heath –https://www.skyscript.co.uk/moonheath.html – speaks of what all native societies practice, because there is nothing else. T

    he Hebrew calendar in the ancient Middle East marked festival days from lunar and solar correlations, making it not an exact ‘modern calendar’ day, just as the first Full Moon of the new Lunar cycle in Anglo-Saxon pagan was known as the Wolf Moon, from the sound of wolves calling in the cold, then icy, nights. And beyond the Anglo-Saxons, Germanic Yule and Scandinavian Jol, fortunately for them less interrupted societal practices and still active participation with Odin and Freya and the pantheon of gods and godesses and alignment with the true facts of Sol and Earth, enter the Jul Blot in accordance with the dying and rebirth of the Light. Drinking and feasting and sacrificing, it is in the rising again of the Light of the World.

    Yule now put, especially among us pagan folk, as the 21st December being keen to reinstate something of societal stability based on reality in the ‘UK’ is not Celtic but fully Germanic and Norse, and is not the date of 21st December. That is the Winter Solstice itself. With the traumatic history of Britain from Christian belief, it is relative and not intended as actually wrong, merely the best that we can do under difficult circumstances of the last 1,500 years. Constantine’s 336 CE declaring Christianity the official state religion required a festival day, in true pagan practice, and the allocation of 25th of December as the birth of Jesus Christ can be read as a, or the, major departure from the real facts of humans upon the Earth. The evidence shows Constantine acted from political expediency for all the reasons that study of that period open up, but from western society on a mass of spinning rock in space, the fixing of a son of a god in the sky born in a manger on December 25th puts the Son of the Christian god and the Sun, Helios, Sol, An Ghrian, which is the fundamental fact of existence on Earth in direct conflict. At first, and for several 100s of years, the Christian festival on December 25th merged in with the traditional Roman feast of Sol Invictus, given by Aurelian in 274 CE as the official Roman cult, the Unconquered Sun, because no human can conquer the Sun, and the fun of Saturnalia, merged in with the Jewish month of Kislev. The eastern Mediterranean peoples were Greeks, Jews, Romans, with the centres of Alexandria, Antioch, Constantinople and Ephesus. We here in Britain were definitely still barbarians in that time. Study of the switch from the Sun to the Son tends to stay within history and not theology, for the reason of this fundamental and unreconcilable belief in facts. Belief in the Son leads away from Earth into a place so unconnected with Earth that it is hard to see in 2025 nearly 2026 how folks can still hold such beliefs, but they do. Belief in the Sun, in the inevitable moving down the horizon into winter months, the portal of Winter Circle of stars, magnitude one stars, bright and clear, of Capella, Aldebaran, Rigel, Sirius, Procyon, and Pollux, with Orion clear in the middle, and the vast history of human societies into the portal, down, and out into the reborn Light, as one human gets incrementally older and passes on into spirit, and new humans are born, but always contained within the majestic facts of Earth and Sol, Earth and Sky.

  • Winter Solstice 2025, the 4.5 billionth-ish on Earth

    21st of December 2025 in the northern hemisphere is the ‘Winter Solstice’ and in the modern era possible to measure the exactitude in minutes, which this year on Greenwich Mean Time was 3:03pm when the Light of An Ghrian, Helios, the Sun, Ra, Sol, is in the pause above 23.5’S, named the Tropic of Capricorn, does pause for a few days. This is not to take time out and consider whether to return north or just continue south and soon leave the Earth is an awful cold and dark, not to mention spinning off somewhere in space from the lack of gravity, but from the tilt of Earth which creates this slight shift from north to south hemispheres. Helios will be born again,

    It all makes sense from the bigger picture when the human sees the models, or nowadays on a digital screen, and can see how from a northern latitude’s position the corresponding exact equal and opposite is experienced in the southern hemisphere (half – of Earth) because geometry is geometry, and luckily gravity holds it all in place.

    So 3:03pm GMT, or UTC now but between Helios and Earth the name of the line is irrelevant and the human drawn line of longitude Pole to Pole only states the fact that Winter Solstice in northern hemisphere equals Summer Solstice over the equator and down into the south Pole. This is the fact.

    However, it could be said that in the exactitude of modern measurement now down to 3:03pm for us in GMT, the word Solstice itself has got lost. Like so much in the Protestant ‘west’ which has gone further and further into detail and data and data and detail, the Heliostasio for the Greeks and the Solstitium for the Romans was not a minute or an hour or a day but as the name says, the stand still, the pause.

    The latitude of Athens at 38’N and Rome 42’N is itself a difference, but in the geographical Mediterranean lands the history is interconnected and the necessity to observe celestial movements was not a pass time but for maritime navigation, agriculture, observing civic functions, etc., none of which correlate to the modern era when information appears at the touch of a button (until the next Big Solar Flare). Because the facts are still the same of Sunlight falling onto the Earth surface as it spins in space, the now obscured word of the standing still, or the pause (fortunately to come back again) would once a long time ago have been a different societal time than the 3:03pm of last Sunday. a trajectory follows through to the present time of 2025. However, when the pause of Helios is where Bamako in Mali at 12.5’N

    Bamako in Mali at 12.5’N has only a short pause because Nay, as the Dogon tribe call the giver of Light and warmth, is not greatly angled above. The shadows do not fall long, and about 11.5 hours of sunlight are given at deepest midwinter. Up to Oran, Algeria, at latitude 35’N, and about 9.5 hours of Light came to Earth. Up again to Caen, and the busy ferry port where 8 or so hours of Light are experienced by the humans at that place on the Earth. Over La Manche and up to Hull, at 54’N (rounded up or down), with 7.5 hours of Light, and then its into open sea as the GMT line heads east of the ‘UK’, not correlating with dry land until the Svalbard archipelago under Norwegian governance. Longyearbyen on Svalbard, (on because although all humans are ‘on’ the Earth, it is said that a human is ‘on’ a small island, and ‘in’ a landmass) at 78’N has daylight hours at Winter Solstice of ….. zero. Not only is it zero ‘on the 21st December’ but it is zero for the whole of December, and the month either side of November and January. That is where the pause of Helios becomes the standstill. This is common knowledge, facts do not need to be referenced here because it is geographical fact.

    However, this blog is very interested in the correlation or not of human society on geographical fact, and Solar fact, and this measurement of hours of Light in the Winter Solstice (and equally the opposite in the southern hemisphere) compared with universal time where anyone can sit on a computer or a smart phone and do the same thing via digital tech is the most stark evidence of a society’s departure from the facts. Until the worldwide web of time and info created the disembodied communication zone, a society measured only to its allocated hours of Light and the physical food, water, shelter, language, clothing materials from that.

    Here in mid latitudes of the British Isles and Ireland, between 55′-56’N, allocated Light at Winter Solstice is about 7 hours, and a few days later it is really not much difference as An Ghrian is a long, long way south, and it could be under the definition of stand still rather than pause with several more weeks of Deep Midwinter before almost imperceptibly the hours of Light start to lengthen again. The western world is certainly not now constructed upon Solar time and the length of that pause …. or stand still for days …. but if it was, if the whole of society paused or stood still with Helios, laid low, slept, reset its circadian rhythms, feasted around a fire, sang and recited poetry, observed the winter stars, and caught up with kith and kin, how wonder-full that would be.

  • Hell in 1601, Jan Breughel the Elder & Hell in 2025, Digital Tech

    ‘Hell’ The painting signed 1601 by Jan Breughel the Elder, 1568-1625, (image downloaded from Artvee, which would not have been possible in 1601) is formed of oil paint on copper and shows humans in Hell, a Christian construct. In Medieval times Antwerp was a major trade market with copper from (now) eastern Europe so not hard for JB to get a sheet of copper. This scene of Hell mixes classical mythology and monsters and demons and various other contexts relevant of the time, but the title is clear, the humans are in Hell.

    Switch forward a mere 425 or so years, what would a similar picture of Hell be today? Well, it could be a scene of millions of humans attached to a hardware device which needs electricity to power it (and the resources for which are running out on the Earth surface), either a relatively big one of a laptop or a desktop computer, or a tiny one of a very smart phone, with hundreds of demons sitting in the inbox, the draft box, the sent box, 1000s of what were once known as photos and 36 was the maximum you could get (if all came out okay), and random images and things flashing up on the screen, all designed to take the human further into the abyss of Hell, and further taking the natural world down into the abyss of destruction (of which the human is also a part factually).

    Winter weeks of 2025, the human in 2025 faces the onerus task of ‘catching up on emails’, most of which are now lost in the 100s gone by, and how to unpick which are relevant and which not, which of the 1000s of pics is the one it is looking for, the temptation of the free email providers unable to be faced and to get itself a private email address because a few pounds a month seems like pure robbery yet the mountain of digital tech things now streaming through a hardware device, how on Earth would Jan Breughel the Elder even begin to paint this hideous scene?

  • ‘Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…’

    To lift directly from Wikipedia (and to fully reference, this was done on Sunday 14.12.2025, at around 5.30pm GMT) the song ‘Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…’ also known as simply, ‘Let it snow…’ is the song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945 in Hollywood, California, during a heatwave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions. The song was first recorded that fall by Vaughn Monroe, released just after Thanksgiving when the Solar year had turned towards winter, and became a hit by Christmas.

    The song makes no mention of any holiday. The lyrics include spending time with a loved one during a snowstorm, enjoying a fireplace and popcorn. When the singer has to leave, feelings of love will keep him warm once he is outside in the cold. The song has come to be regarded as a Christmas song worldwide due to its winter theme, and is often played on radio stations during the Christmas and holiday season. It has been covered by multiple artists on Christmas-themed albums.[5] (This paragraph has been copied and pasted, hence the underlines and the number 5)

    As many information sources state, the original Cahn, Styne, Monroe ‘Let it snow…’ had the greatest chart success in the various No. 1’s and chart toppers of all different ‘western’ countries, but it is Frank Sinatra’s single vinyl or vinyl single in 1950 and Dean Martin’s album vinyl in 1959 which in 2025 comes over the airwaves of radios and shops from mid November, after the Christmas merchandising has been settled onto the shelves from somewhere back in August.

    Whether it was the Sinatra or the Martin version, this writer would not know, but the familiar tune and the familiar words, pleasant and wintry and the world is all in order as another Christmas comes round, the song came over the airwaves of a medium sized shop somewhere along the Newcastle upon Tyne to Carlisle stretch of urban settlement, and which shop it was and where it was is not relevant. The details are neither relevant in the fact that a human walked on a certain street in Edinburgh in the evening of 14.12.2025 where the same human walking the same street 25 years ago, 2000 CE, but the facts of the natural world are relevant because in 2000 CE that street was icy, most of the winter in Edinburgh was around the snow, ice, frost temperature zone, and the same street in 2025 on the same-ish date now has rain in bucket fulls, torrents, streaming down and a zillion tourists from all over the world, all expecting the Scotland of films and romantic legend, but finding only extortionate prices, shoulder to shoulder with only other tourists, and rain running in rivers down the dark cobbled streets. The relevance of ‘Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…’ in 2025 as taken to the natural world is ‘Please let it snow…, please!’ because from 1945, now 80 years ago, to 2025, the fundamental facts of the natural world upon the Earth have not changed and H2O still moves between ice, snow, frost, water, steam according to the temperature scale, but there is now no snow.

    In that shop, only one of many hundreds, thousands, up and down the ‘UK’ where the Christmas music plays and most of it several decades old when a human sang with guitar and drums and it had a beginning, middle and end, so whether Sinatra or Martin’s vinyl, Slade, Queen, all the familiar songs fill the airwaves and tell us all is okay, and probably it was roughly speaking until about 10 years ago. Not too much discrepancy between words, goods, facts, cultural traditions, and a distinct possibility of that ‘white Christmas’ which we all know means snow on Christmas Day, such is the cultural magnetic pull of western modern life into making the Big Day perfect in every way. In 2025 where the laws of nature still obey the temperature scale, as they always will, the hope that it might snow will not be to re-create the original song where the loving couple were by the hearth (it was written for a few months later, no one would release a song about snow in high summer because everyone knows it cannot snow in high summer)and the pervading warmth of hearth and love would stay in the human when they went out in the snow, but to really hope that it might snow to show there is still some tiny grain of hope that climate catastrophe is not imminently imminent but still a way off. If it snows over Christmas or in the run up during December, all will be okay. After that, those in the ‘UK’ now complaining about anything below 15′ will resume and the Christmas separate world, separate conditions, separate requirements, will be put back in the box until next November.

    In that shop, as in many, a heater now blasts heat out above the door, really blasts it so the humans with sensitive skin get heat irritation as if walking into a dry sauna too fast. In the traditional image of western Christmas, invented not just as Christmas itself was stitched together to create a date and an event, but the merchandising which has happened during the 1900s, there are no intruding facts to alter the traditional happy scene, and regardless of the state of affairs in 2025, the arrival of music, turkey, and the hope that it will be that ‘white Christmas’ stand firm as what Christmas is all about from the 1900s development of the event. If all the goods in the shop were quantified for the logistical impact on that change from snow to errr… rain and lots of it, and the logistical impact of shipping the packaging back to be ‘recycled’ by other countries for a suitable payment, the number of cars now driving into town centres compared to 1945 or the 1950s, and above all the electricity used in lighting shops and lighting Christmas decoration, and that direct and fairly shocking heat of being blasted out over open doorways, how long can we play these Christmas songs using the word ‘snow’ when there is none. ‘Raindrops keep falling on my head’ would be more relevant, sung by this writer forget who now, but it is a song, and Driving home for Christmas through the floods and road diversions would be factually more connected to life in 2025 ‘UK’ than the temporary suspension of reality in the imagery of 1900s.

    Of course all shops have to shift as much goods as possible in December, get as many people in through the door as possible, especially with the months afterwards with no major merchandising festival until Easter, apart from Valentine’s of course, but that’s really just chocolate and smaller things, and in the era of government hike’s on business rates and all things hard working, what can a shop do but make it as easy for a customer to enter its portals, and no one wants to talk about the facts of the natural world that humans are under the same fundamental facts as the rest of the living world and water itself. The divergence of human activity from the fundamental facts is complete, the heat blasting over an open doorway is fully believed to go only onto the humans to give them a comfortable experience while shopping, and conveniently does not impact the air around in any way. It’s very strange, isn’t it?
