the Mercedes Mon??? name spelling continues to haunt me.
in her twitter bio, she uses an accent grave and spells it Monè, she uses the Monè spelling in her tweets and uses hashtags with Monè in it, and she tweets out a merch design that uses the accent grave:
HOWEVER, the actual shirt available on prowrestlingtees uses the accent aigu and spells it Moné on the SAME shirt design. her page and her other merch designs also use accent aigu.
on NJPW's youtube and the social media posts i've seen they've consistently used Moné, including on the graphic promoting Battle in the Valley
#mercedes mone#mercedes moné#mercedes monè#i have no conclusion here#consider this a status update#going off her pronunciation i would argue it's supposed to be spelled moné#BUT with the caveat that i think it's pointless to argue about name pronunciation or spelling especially across different languages#the direction of this tiny little line over the letter e will continue to haunt me till i get a satisfying answer#ALSO i'm not a stan i have literally no clue who sasha banks is i just got caught up in the rumours leading up to WK last week#cause they are fun lol

Shizun 020 - Server room wraith
The server room was filled with a cold breeze and chilling to the bone.
“I’ll explain first, the server room needs to stay at 21 degrees, and we have a very precise AC, that’s why it’s so cold…” He Mengmeng rubbed at the goosebumps on her arms and looked at the thermostat, displeased. “Who’s on duty? Why is it at 18 degrees again?”
She wanted to turn the temperature back up.
“Don’t go, there’s nothing wrong with the AC.” Lu Yunzhen stood in front of her and said seriously. “Xuejie, this place really is haunted.”
He noticed that things were off as soon as he walked in. There was a faint evil aura surrounding the servers, spreading between the flashing red lights, carrying the faint smell of decay.
He Mengmeng was going pale from fright. “Really?”
“Yanlai temple aren’t scammers. My master left the mountain because the photos you sent in showed a problem.” Hongzhi opened his ying yang eyes and followed his master in inspecting the servers and determining the problem. He walked towards Lu Yunzhen whom he suspected of faking it and smiled, “My friend, do you know what kind of evil is here?
Lu Yunzhen had studied seriously beforehand. He not only learned a few simple spells form Mo Changkong, but also wrote down the characteristics of evil spirits in his notebook for memorization.
It is last minute after all, he can’t fully remember everything…
He wanted to pretend to be high and mighty and get Mo Changkong to help him gloss things over when needed, but now that he met his xuejie who knew him properly he’s not worried about being found out as an amateur. The closed book exam is now an open book exam.
Wanting to strengthen his professionalism, he indicated for Mo Changkong to not answer on his behalf and went down the list of characteristics in his book. Dark grey color, adhesive, vine like, surrounding objects, seemingly alive, can move around freely.
He confirmed, ‘it’s a wraith.”
Hong Zhi saw that he truly had natural ying yang eyes and not mistaken it for resentful energy or earth bound ghost. It was a little impressive and he was about to give his compliments and try to bring him to the straight and narrow. But then he accidentally saw the notebook, was stunned for a moment, and looked at it bewildered.
Cultivators all have good eyesight.
This notebook had contained exorcism steps from movies like “The exorcist daozhang” “The happy little big ghost met the big ghost”, “Happy soul night”, including the catch phrases and poses of throwing talismans?!
Heh, even a scammer is more professional than that!
Hong Zhi huffed away.
Master Wuming didn’t notice his disciples mood. He confirmed that the wraith on the servers are weaker than usual and has never spilled blood. Relaxing, he let out of a breath.
Wraiths are human souls who died suddenly but with resentment towards the world. They attached to objects, avoided the soul hooks from the underworld, and tried to enact revenge on the subjects of their resentment.
Buddhists usually helped them to pass on.
Master Wuming took Hong Zhi to put sutras on the servers, putting up an incense table and various offerings. He held his prayer beads, gently struck the treasure chime with his lotus blossom hammer, sat straight on his cushion with a firm expression, and started reciting the ksitigarbha sutra.
The chime lingered, the sutras went on, and the soul was being moved…
Lu Yunzhen knew that his xuanxue knowledge was half assed at best. And Mo Changkong was simply and violent, caring not about the evil spirit and taking care of everything via a fight.
But Master Wuming was different. He was a well learned monk whose heart was filled with faith. Everything he did felt professional and safe.
Everyone felt good with him taking care of things.
Since it’s been a few incidents, Lu Yunzhen wasn’t scared of what’s happening anymore. He thought of the payment promised by He xuejie and decided that he had to do a little something and not take the money for free.
The aura of the wraith kept on spreading in the server room.
He looked around, took He Mengmeng and Long Jingtian into a corner where the aura has not reached, got Mo Changkong to grab some chairs, and had his golden geese sit down.
Then, he took his peach wood sword and tried to draw out the spells he just learned… Mo Changkong only remembered the movements and the use cases, not the theory behind things, and he couldn’t explain even after trying for ages. But it seemed like it was a spell to hide oneself and stop evil spirits from detecting them.
It was a very simple array that only requires writing a few words in the air.
Lu Yunzhen had no idea if he did it right, but Mo Changkong said it was fine during practice so he tried with confidence.
The divine array was completed and the dark aura retreated.
He Mengmeng found that she wasn’t cold anymore and the fear in her heart had subsided quite a bit. She loosened her hands which were gripping her arms and saw that the idiot Long was dragging a table over.
Everyone sat in a row and listened to the sutras, feeling like the scriptures were very deep and they were just waiting for the good news of the exorcism completing.
They couldn’t understand the sutras and it was a little boring..
Lu Yuzhen focused his attention on Master Wuming, trying to learn the movements of a master from a proper sect along with the poses for putting up talismans and reading sutras. He hoping that he can put on the proper airs for his next exorcism.
He was studying very diligently and making notes when Mo Changkong stuck a peeled apple piece in his mouth without him noticing. Turning around, he noticed that everyone was eating.
This is He Mengmeng’s habit. She has low blood sugar and needs snacks whenever she gets anxious, else she gets dizzy. She often secretly held fruit candies in her mouth.
When Long Jingtian saw, he boasted that he had seen the world with Master Lu and slept with a demon, that he’s not scared of some invisible little monster at all. Saying that He Mengmeng shouldn’t eat by herself he insisted that she share her candy with everyone.
So she was forced to take out her candy, cookies, chocolates…
And things spiraled from there…
The fruits from the offering table were also taken. Mo Changkong casually took out a strangely shaped bone knife from his seed space with a cold expression and started peeling an apple for Shizun. He was very quick. The peels were thin and slight, with no breaks at all… Then he quickly cut the apple into pieces, tasted it for sweetness, and fed it to his Shizun’s mouth.
“That’s delicious, thank you…”
Long Jingtian chimed in. “Master Mo, you’re so good with the knife, do you know how to cut bunnies? “
“No.”
Lu Yunzhen felt like he couldn’t forget his golden goose when it comes to apples and said, “Changkong, you should cut some for everyone.”
“Ok.”
Long Jingtian brought up a few fruit cutting videos for him.
Mo Changkong cut a table full of apple bunnies, roses, and butterflies, feeding all varieties to his Shizun, until he was about to burst…
He Mengmeng went back and forth between watching Master Wuming and wondering when the server will eb fixed and watching Mo Changkong feed dog food and wondering when Lu xuedi is gonna come out of the closet.
She’s so busy.
…
The Shami Hong Zhi felt the evil spirit’s powers slowly ease away after reciting for quite a while with his master. He looked proudly wondering what the scammers were doing and almost passed out from anger.
Are they here for a picnic?
He’s going to break the rules and get pissed off!
Master Wuming had also noticed the corner and felt rather helpless. However he also realized that Lu Yunzhen had formed a barrier and the wraith seemed to pass its evil aura around them without noticing.
What kind of array was that?
A few common defense arrays came to mind but none of them matched. Not to mention… arrays require magical artifacts or sigils of cinnabar. But there was nothing around Lu Yunzhen. How strange…
He also noticed the bone knife that Mo Changkong was holding and qas quietly shocked. The knife had a hidden aura of a vicious beast, almost like the great treasure of the Xuanyue sect… the dragon bone sword.
It was a weapon forged from the corpse of a dragon and incomparably sharp. It could cut through any kind of detritus and normally was worshiped in the ancestral hall, not taken out casually.
He probably got it wrong. Every weapon of dragon bone was a great treasure held by the sects. It couldn’t be held by a normal person, and especially couldn’t be used to cut fruits. It was probably… some snake bone or whale bone weapon that he came about accidentally.
But snake bone artifacts are also very previous…
It was like burning a harp to roast a bird. What a waste of treasure.
Master Wuming had been cultivating for many years and was not easily moved to emotions. But seeing these two casually doing such things without even realizing made his heart felt plugged.
He shook his head and kept on reciting.
The wraith slowly gathered onto the sutras. Each character lit up in a gentle light and then slowly dissipated.
Master Wuming recited two more times, made sure there was nothing left in the servers, then ordered Hong Zhi to gather the sutras. He was preparing to take it back to the temple to the Buddha statues, wait for the resentment to dissipate, then help the soul reincarnate.
He Mengmeng walked out of the array and thanked the master profuseld.
Lu Yunzhen asked, “It’s done?”
Hong Zhi took the chance of his master not looking and rolled his eyes at this clueless scammer.
Maser Wuming put his hands together and explained patiently. “Wraiths can only move in the objects they’re attached to. There is no long any evil aura around the server, which means the wraith is gone.”
Lu Yunzhen looked around and felt more and more that something was wrong. He asked again. “Then, what is the range of movement for a wraith?”
“The largest wraith this one had seen was on a warship. That time the entire temple had went and worked for 7 days and 7 nights.” Master Wuming laughed. “This room only has a few servers, the range is very small, it can’t get away.”
Lu Yunzhen finally figured out why he felt off. He carefully asked. “Master Wuming, do you usually go on the internet? Play games?”
Master Wuming laughed, “this one left home for the temple in his youth and focused on faith, never touching these things for the youth, I’m not very well versed..”
“Master Lu, my master is an esteemed cultivator and never touches this garbage.” Hong Zhi was trying to keep his temper down and his tone got heavier. “Even his phone isn’t a smart phone, what are you asking?”
Lu Yunzhen’s expression changed.
He didn’t know xuanxue, Master Wuming didn’t know servers, something was missed…
If the wraith’s range of movement was within servers, then it wasn’t limited to these servers. The servers are connected to the internet! It can follow the internet and go anywhere!
He saw that a dark smoke had slowly gathered out of the cables, then grew rapidly and attacked the group with black tentacles.
Hong Zhi was closest to the servers. His feet were bound and he was dragged to the ground. The sutras he were holding were opened and the resentful energy inside spilled
forth.
He Mengmeng screamed.
Lu Yunzhen dashed forward without thinking. He pushed away He Mengmeng, took out his peach wood sword, and swung hard at the evil aura around Hong Zhi’s feet.
The black smoke was cut in half.
The wraith let out a harsh screech and quickly retreated to the server.
Hong Zhi couldn’t believe his eyes. He saw from behind Lu Yunzhen that the sword handle said “Tai’an film studio prop”.
This shit can cut ghosts?!
He’s going to go order a hundred!

With the whole soldier, poet, king test going around I want to give my take. I got king, which makes sense, but I didn’t want to be a poet. I chose what I thought, thought I agreed with. Though some where two answers, I chose one that mattered most to me.
I thought of what it meant to be a king compared to soldiers and poets, and fantasy stories came to mind. Here is a little story and drawing to go with this post.
“I stand there in the field, holding the body of one of my subjects. The life draining from their eyes, along with it, I drain of hope. The sound of the Soldier’s sword clashing with the enemies; and the Poet casting spells with their silver tongue. In their eyes, I can see the determination to end this seemingly endless fight. I don't know how they can keep going when so many allies are fallen around them.
The sound of war was something I never thought I would hear, but the anguish is something I have. Those cries of anguish have come from my own body. Either from powers unknown to me or someone I thought I could trust. It will be in the moment and after the fact. It changes from time and can form into many things and emotions. Mone turned into fear, anxiety, internalized anger, and shame.
At this moment, fear has taken hold of my body, and tears fall onto the lifeless body in my hands. I am nothing without my people; that is a lie. I am nothing without my armies; that is a lie. I am nothing without my wealth; that is a lie.
I am nothing without my mind, my heart, and my crown. The crown is many things. For me, it's knowledge from the pain I have endured. It weighs heavy on my head, but I keep my head high.
I am a King, I may not be good with words, and I may not be good with a weapon. But I know that my mind is my power. I will stay strong during the pain, but I will still cry.”

"ill talk about it in ten minutes"
two fucking days later
yeaaaaaaahh sorryyyy lol.
AMNYWAYS I GOT IT NOW HERE WE GO AND ITS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED SO HERE WE GO.
So i mostly made this for Longing for more but it ended up such a good idea that its now a HC location in the monkie kid world that i made up for demons. Its not exactly a kingdom but more like an undercity kinda thing. ig you CAN call it a kingdom??? but its more complicated then that.
Demonia-"de-mone-ia"
Demonia is a place underground, hidden by countless of the strongest seals and spells. even if your physically near it no human will ever find it. only demons can. this is a demon run and owned place. its size is yet to be determined but i can say for now that its HUGE.
think of Zaun from arcane, its kinda like that but more tame. yes its chaotic wild and dangerous but theres more forces trying to keep the constant violence in line.
i'd say there are some dangerous parts of demonia and then there are the tame areas. places where demons can live peacefully and away from humankind, to have families, lives, whatever. then the more dangerous parts is where the more mischevious demons go.
any demon with the title of king or queen have power over demonia, they dont exactly rule, there are other demons to do that but they do have authority and power because of how strong they are. thier family is also to be respected as such.
also god forbid any god come into demonia and heres why
something fun about demonia i thought up was its gates/seals/spells. so i said this for heaven in longing for more but the same goes for demonia.
There are certain people who are deemed absolute threats in demonia, once your labeled as that they put up seals on the gates so as soon as these threats step inside thier power is either weakened extensivly or stripped temporarily. it will only return once they leave.
demonia is a place FOR demons, no human god or even any other highly dangerous demon will take that away.
so far the lady bone demon, mayor and Sun wukong are the only ones on that list any other demons are either not important to any aus or i just havent added them yet.
sooooooo yeah hehe.
demon kingdom
(ohmygod i just realised demonia is the name of a fucking shoe im gonna go crazy im so bad at naming things LMAOOOOO)

What do you think is next for mercedes mone(Im so sorry i cant spell) and what would YOU like to see her do?
I think she is winning the IWGP from Kairi and that she will debut at AEW, but will not be there every week, I think her contract will probably be slightly different with her just making some appearances in special occasions. She is working on a lot of stuff so I just don’t picture her there every week.
What I want? That, actually. I also don’t want her to win a championship immediately in AEW, because Jamie is doing super well as champ and I think Kris should dethrone Jade. So, yeah, I think her sole presence it’s truly enough to elevate the entire division and her having programs with Britt, Anna, Tay, Shida, Toni, without a title on the line could be incredible.

New Post has been published on All about business online
New Post has been published on https://yaroreviews.info/2024/01/i-had-3000-stolen-via-whatsapp-job-scam-message
'I had £3,000 stolen via WhatsApp job scam message'
By Dan Whitworth
Money Box reporter, BBC Radio 4
When Bella Betterton fell victim to a recruitment scam and had £3,000 stolen, she felt “attacked” and “distraught”.
The 18-year-old had been contacted by scammers first via WhatsApp messages and then phone calls and thought she had taken part in a real job interview.
But the fraudsters tricked her card details out of her to steal the money.
New figures show the amount of money reported stolen via recruitment scam text and WhatsApp messages jumped from £20,000 to nearly £1m in the past year.
City of London Police say the number of people reporting these scams to Action Fraud increased more than eightfold.
But this may just be “the tip of the iceberg”, according to City of London Police Temporary Commander Oliver Shaw, as this type of fraud is “hugely underreported”.
Sophisticated scam
Recruitment scams involve criminals luring victims with the promise of extra work or income before conning them out of bank details or taking control of their phones to steal money.
Bella, from Devon, contacted Radio 4’s Money Box after she became a victim in October.
Bella Betterton
She is hoping to start a five-year biochemistry degree next year so has taken a gap year to try to save up £10,000 to be able to afford to start studying.
The £3,000 that was stolen was all the money she had managed to save up by working full-time over the summer.
“I’d just lost a job I’d had for three years and was trying to find my feet again to be able to keep saving for uni,” she says.
“I’d put my CV out there so thought it [the scam text message]… was a legitimate thing.”
The scammers carried out what Bella thought was a genuine interview with her over the phone for a remote working job involving her using their money to buy and review products.
So sophisticated was the scam the criminals groomed Bella with dozens and dozens of messages and phone calls until, over the course of a few hours one afternoon, they used all the details they’d tricked out of her, along with what she suspects was malware put on her phone, to make four large card payments to a cryptocurrency exchange using her money.
“When I looked at my phone and saw all these payments… [I felt] complete shock, panic. I didn’t know if I could stop them, if there was a way of sorting it out.
“I didn’t know how to cancel or talk to people or to protect my bank account. I’d never dealt with anything like this before.
“I felt quite attacked by it. It was three months’ of work, the whole summer, 50 to 55-hour weeks. So I was pretty distraught and upset by it all.”
How to report a scam message
WhatsApp has lots of advice on how to protect yourself from scams on its website.
You can report a scam text message by forwarding it to 7726 which spells out SPAM on a keypad. If it’s a spam email forward it to [email protected]
Valuable data
Figures from City of London Police show 15 people reported being scammed out of £20,040 to Action Fraud in 2022.
Last year, 126 people reported £977,581 being stolen.
Dr Lis Carter, a criminologist at Kingston University who is an expert in the language and phrases fraudsters use to trick their victims, says recruitment scams are a high-volume, multi-stage crime.
“These text messages will only be relevant to a certain number of people… but it’s a numbers game. Criminals only need a few people to respond and the victims are self selecting.
“Fraudsters will take a victim through several stages, things you’d normally expect a HR department to be asking – name, address, date of birth, bank details.
“All of that stuff is valuable data in itself, so even if that case doesn’t turn into fraud it’s valuable data they can sell on the dark web.”
She says the scammers might ask for small amounts of money upfront, which they claim will be reimbursed in a victim’s first pay cheque for what are genuine things – such as DBS checks, security checks, small bits of equipment – and that once a victim is invested, they can throw more good money after bad.
“The big amounts of money is where the payoff is in these scams,” she says.
“Obtaining bank and card details details… taking control of your computer or phone with the promise of helping victims to remote work – we’ve all done these things for legitimate reasons and scammers use the same scripts.”
Tackling fraud effectively requires “a whole-system response across government, law enforcement and industry”, says Temporary Commander Shaw.
“Every report we receive from the public helps build a stronger picture of the problem, enabling us not only to investigate fraud more effectively, but to take down the bank accounts, websites and phone numbers used by criminals.”
Bella’s bank has refused to refund her as a victim of fraud, although she is now challenging that decision with the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Meanwhile, she is working even more hours as a waitress to try to make up the money that was stolen, and says what’s happened has changed her as a person.
“It makes you feel very immature for this world, very quickly. It’s a big wake-up call.”
You can hear more on this story shortly after broadcast on Money Box.

Pra Pikanet Thewasathan Bot Phram, Nua Thongdang Galai Thong. A gold plating on copper figurine of Lord Ganesha, made by Devasathan ( Thewasathan Bot Phram), the Hindu temple, Royal Brahmin Office of Thai Royal Court, Bangkok in BE 2522 (CE 1979).

..................................................................
LORD GANESHA
In Thailand, Lord Ganesha is called Pra Pikanet or Pra Pikanesuan and is worshiped as the deity of fortune and success, and the remover of obstacles. Lord Ganesha is associated with arts, education and trade. Lord Ganesha appears in the emblem of the Department of Fine Arts in Thailand. Large television channels and production companies have shrines in his honor in front of their premises. Few movies or television shows begin shooting without a Brahmin ritual in which prayers and offerings are made to Lord Ganesha. There are shrines to Lord Ganesha across Thailand. One of the most revered shrines is the Royal Brahmin Temple in central Bangkok by the Giant Swing, where some of the oldest images can be found. Other old Lord Ganesha images can be seen throughout Thailand, including a 10th Century bronze image found at Phang-Na with both Tamil and Thai inscriptions. The Hindu temple “Wat Pra Sri Umadevi” in Silom also houses a Lord Ganesha image which was transported from India in the late 19th Century. Thai Buddhists frequently pay respect to Lord Ganesha and other Brahmin deities as a result of the overlapping Buddhist/Brahmin cosmology. He is honored with Motaka, sweets and fruit, when business is good, and he is made ridiculous by putting his picture or statue upside down, when business is down. As lord of business and diplomacy, he sits on a high pedestal outside Bangkok’s Central World (formerly World Trade Center), where people offer flowers, incense and a reverential sawasdee…..
..................................................................
Thewasathan Bot Phram
Devasathan , Thewasathan Bot Phram; meaning 'the abode of the gods') or Royal Brahmin Office of Thai Royal Court is a Hindu temple near Wat Suthat in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. The temple is the official center of Hinduism in Thailand. The temple is the home of the Court Brahmins, who are descended from an ancient lineage of priests from Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. The Brahmins perform many important royal and religious ceremonies for the Monarchy of Thailand every year. The temple was founded in 1784 by King Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty.

https://labradorleadstheworld.blogspot.com/ Labrador Leads The World In Opposition To Hydro Dams #StopEcocide For Mother Earth [amplification] BRITAIN IS ENTERING A NEW AGE OF CORRUPTION - BRITAIN HAS RETURNED TO THE ‘OLD CORRUPTION' THE VICTORIANS TRIED TO END - TAKING US FURTHER DOWN A ROAD TO A KLEPTOCRACY THAN MOST PEOPLE IN BRITAIN IMAGINE.
Britain has entered an era of legalised larceny by the politically well-connected some 150 years after the Victorians ended what they execrated as the “Old Corruption”. By this they meant the toxic system whereby the ruling elite enjoyed a parasitic relationship with the state enabling them to obtain jobs and money through patronage, partisanship and purchase.
EXTRACTS
'Fast forward 170 years to the allegations against Baroness Michelle Mone over PPE procurement which so “shocked” Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and notice how many of the worst ingredients of the “Old Corruption” are re-emerging in modern Britain.
The Victorians did not use the term to mean exclusively those doing anything illegal, but, then as now, the system was all the more pernicious because so much that was destructive to good government was permitted.
We have yet to reach the stage, as happened long ago in Russia and the oil states of the Middle East and Africa, where government has become a looting machine run by a kleptocracy, but we are further down this road than most people in Britain imagine.
Signs of the retreat from the standards of honest and competent government to which the Victorian reformers aspired are today visible everywhere.
What makes this decline so serious is the vast size of the sums of money now being wasted or misused.
The most flagrant example of this was the waste of £12 billion spent on defective or over-priced PPE during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Probably, the figures are too gargantuan for people to take on board, but in a report published on June 2022, the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, scarcely a muckraking body, spelled out the losses: equipment worth £4 billion did not meet NHS standards, £2.6 billion was not of a type or standard preferred by the NHS, £4.7 billion was written off because too much had been paid for it, and £673 million was spent on PPE that was defective.
THE THEFT OF THE CENTURY
What we are really looking at here is one of the thefts of the century.
The Government brushes aside this enormous useless expenditure of public funds, most of which ended up in somebody’s pockets, blaming it on an unprecedented emergency with which ministers were heroically seeking to cope.
They argue that no time was available to check on PPE suppliers, however inadequate or dodgy they subsequently turned out to be.'
THE BEST MOMENT TO STRIKE
I have heard too many excuses about an existential crisis producing understandable errors too many times during corruption scandals in the Middle East to believe them.
People intending to steal billions from a government are not fools.
They put a great deal of thought into their planning.
They must have insiders working for them, but they must also avoid official scrutiny by departmental committees and oversight bodies.'
'A war is the best moment to strike for anybody intending to plunder the public purse without their activities being closely monitored ...
Wars may be good for mass thefts but a pandemic turns out to be even better because of the general panic.
People plotting to part a government from its money have a nose for this sort of chaos and know how to exploit it.
They know how to sniff out and pay off influential people they need to help them, safe in the knowledge that their lobbying is legal with no risk of punishment aside from reputational damage.
If unmasked as secret influencers, they can hide behind the unlikely claim that they were paid a lot of money by some very tough and worldly-wise people – for whom they then did almost nothing to further their interests.'
'Looting government was easy in the eighteenth century because so many functions of government were out-sourced, a notable example being the East India Company with its own empire and army.
Such outsourcing was a recognised feature of “Old Corruption” because profit was prioritised over performance and regulatory control was minimal.
Much the same now happens in modern Britain as state functions are outsourced and degraded in the supposed interests of efficiency.
At the heart of the Northcote-Trevelyan Report was a determination that future members of the civil service would be appointed on merit and they would not lose their jobs following a change of government.
But when Liz Truss became prime minister and Kwasi Kwarteng chancellor of the exchequer in September, almost their first act was to sack Sir Tom Scholar, the permanent secretary at the Treasury.
Or go back a couple of years to May 2020 at beginning of pandemic in 2020 when Baroness Dido Harding of Winscombe was appointed by the Health Secretary Matt Hancock to establish NHS Test and Trace to prevent the spread of Covid-19 among an unvaccinated population in England.
The complicated task was taken out of the hands of experienced local officials and handed over to Harding, assisted by consultants paid £1,000 a day.
Even in corrupt cynical eighteenth century Britain, people might have jibbed at that.' read more

Prosecute politicians and business leaders causing climate breakdown whenever they advocate, promote, climate ecocidal-genocidal systems of governance.

I once read a book called Spell of the Highlander about a woman who had fallen in love and then found out that the man she loved only had weeks to live. I've always loved that book but now I FINALLY understand it. The heroine worries that she won't get her happily ever after. Her friend tells her it's not about happily ever after. Then asks, "how will you live if you don't let yourself have a happy now, and end up having had nothing at all?".
I'll take my happy now, and let the future unfold. Memories of epic love will be with me no matter what I go through next.
