As we contemplate Labour’s imminent forced sterilisation and one child policy ( applied retrospectively over the last 18 years)…
National Service is back on the table.
I am decidedly not a fan.
We are not facing imminent invasion and it would take Putin 6-10 years to rebuild his military to a point where a realistic threat to Western Europe would be even possible.
An increase in defence spending and rebuilding a minimum strength military, I think is a regrettable necessity.
I should add, I’m not convinced Putin will be in power/alive in 6-10 years.

Thanks for the heads up on Ayn Rand, after a quick look at the Ayn Rand institute website I think I'll spend a bit of time reading her stuff. Re - the vote. I think Stone answered that already - it doesn't matter who you vote for as in the words of George Galloway - 'they're two cheeks of the same arsehole'. I'd like to see the Conservatives get zero seats, you're right, they're awful! It might be worth spending time reading about Elite Theory, it provides one way of understanding how power works, it is quite mainstream and doesn't talk about Cabal's or Sheeple. Re - useless eaters, a good example of useless eater policy was the mass sterilisation of Indian women from the 50's to the 70's - 18.5 million.

It’s not that the powers that be want to keep people down, they’re just serving their own interests and the interests of those that support their interests. The fact that say 70% of the population are useless eaters with no say in anything hardly seems surprising. Spider monkey’s post about extreme policies on climate was spot on to my mind. If you believe that’s what ‘needs to be done’ the only way of doing it would be to replace the current batch of elites with something more radical. Hence why Stone’s Utopia would likely require a hard left authoritarian government. I’m on board with Stone in that sense.
Quite right. Hardline Leftist Authoritarian regimes have, historically, been incredibly successful and much loved by the population. Similarly, it is clear that if 70% of Britain’s population vote for one of the parties contesting the upcoming elections, then the party receiving the 30% share will absolutely form a new government. Useless eaters? Not the half of it! You watch what would happen if that useless 70% withdrew their labour tomorrow. Nothing! That’s what. Utterly irrelevant. All of them. How do you get to be so far left, you end up sounding like Ayn Rand? Closing the circle?

The account still works for me: https://www.instagram.com/c4hp/
it could be that you blocked him at some point, you'll have to check your blocked accounts list. Otherwise, you should probably have been nicer to them in the past 
I have never blocked anyone and I don't remember ever posting anything on his IG. I don't actually use IG that much, so flicked through my "history" and don't see anything (not sure if IG deletes interactions with blocked people?). All very odd....

The most egregious bit is before the foot lock.. anyone who thinks that's legit is hepped up on goofballs. A tiny amount of pressure can make a surprising amount of difference on some moves. I remember trying a boulder in the gramps where I could do the crux semi consistently with a finger gently on my back but maybe 1 in 20 without.

Wasn't all spotting like this in the 90s? Swear there are vids of Moon being spotted similarly.
It’s like when VAR started ordering penalties to be retaken because the keeper was off their line and you look back the most important penalty saves in history and realise that most of them shouldn’t have counted either.
Jake and Amy are pretty handy and know the rules.

They don’t the know what “feature length” means though

Pissed off enough to return.
Next week STG: None stated
The usual STG: Stay focused and don't make silly mistakes - n/a. Do something challenging and inspiring on a rope, or above a pad - a couple of sport routes. Keep in regular contact with suitable friends and partners - trying but general clash of interests / motivations. Falling practise if I do routes indoors or out - n/a. Look after injuries - ugh, gym x 1 - barely, elbow rehab x 2 - x 1, shoulder rehab x 3 - x 2 overall, stretching x 3 - x3 overall.
M - Lancs photoshoot / checking. 40 mins walking, 1 x E1 5b. Productive day for the guide. Midges.
T - Attempted bouldering. 1 x 6C in approx 500 attempts. Tired. Impinged left shoulder sore.
W - Rest. Tired. 15 mins stretching.
T - Stamina circuits at Depot. Vile. Actually made meeting Serpico there seem pleasant in comparison. Yellow (F6a, actually F6a+), yellow reverse, red (F6b, actually F6b+), red reverse, red reverse into red, red into red reverse, blue (F6c, actually hard F7a), blue reverse (both 2nd session after 2 attempts each previous session), attempted purple (F7a, actually hard F7b), attempted purple reverse. 3 sets of hand crack (VS 5a) into yellow, good burnout. Lots of rest and stretching between sets. Shoulder sore. Tiny bit of rehab.
F - 1:30 mins vague cleaning. Furious at climbing community in general and the death of any trad that isn't R***fax ""Top 50"" honeypot blandness. Midges.
S - Sport climbing at Ty Newydd with Andy F. F6b, F6c, F6c+, F6c+, attempted F7a but too hard. Not bad. No practise falls due to undulating terrain. A LOT of wild garlic. Shoulder sore Poor sleep with bad dreams, woke with anxiety.
S - Light gym rehab, various shoulder stuff. Weak and shoulder very weak. 50mins stretching which was good. Depressed mood before gym, and angry mood after. Poor sleep with bad dreams, woke with anxiety.
Have got into a general habit of trying to heed my body, avoid fatigue, rest more and pace myself, and have ended up feeling just tired as well as weak. It does seem when I'm out at the crag I'm capable of doing okay-ish at 80+% of usual capability.
Next week STG: Fuck knows.

M - lunch, Sand Point. Adam (two weeks ago), and Alex (two days ago) had both reminded me that I'd never gone back for a go at Arrakis, an Ian Cooper 7C here from a few years ago. Most remiss of me as it's in my grade range and local. Also turns out to be excellent, and soft. Lovely stuff, with some quality heel above the head action. Eve TCA, mostly for the social as mates back from abroad, but also did a couple of new blacks and whites.
T - eve, Cheddar, Lion Rock. Mainly support crew but started trying Roy Walker Connection 8a. This climbs Shadow Walker to the undercuts (as LST) but then steps left to finish up the crux of the E6(7c+ really, it's nearly all fixed gear), Taming of the Lion, via a bolt, a nut (which I didn't have), and a thread. First go worked out most of the new climbing but didn't get through to the thread and easy finish. Second go pulled up to the lower off and worked it out from the top. Didn't quite link the section of new climbing though. 3rd tie in had a RP, fell on the middle crux feeling pretty jaded. 4 outside sessions, 1 indoor, and a run in the last 5 days - rest is in order.
W -
T - aft/eve, Cheddar, Lion Rock. Back on Roy Walker. Much better connies, I'd go so far as to say prime. Decided to sack off the kneebar, it's not that great and although this start is a touch harder, it's less pumpy so not worth it I think. First go getting draws in and sorted better feet, not before taking the big fall though. Next go to within 3 moves of the chains, and one move from a jug, but a foot sequence error a couple of moves before had fucked me and I was off, despite being on easy ground really. Next go did it, still had to grunt my way through the last move to the jug, but pleased this one went pretty quick. Pint, pickled egg, and cheese roll at the Crown to celebrate.
F - lunch, TCA, 120 min. Whites, blacks, and blues. 10 problems, flashed 1, 2 second go, 2 with a bit of work. 4 only tried briefly, 1 put a bit of work in but no tick.
S - 12 hr shift.
S - 12 hr shift.
71.5 kg.

Well on reflection, I wish that didn’t sound so condescending, but there’s a few times I’ve thought that. I hope it didnt cause offence. Creating unnecessary mental restrictions does rankle however, because it obscures what the problems really are.
