Incredible last-lap drama in the last race of the F1 season in Abu Dhabi.  Mercedes pay for not giving up track position to bolt on fresh rubber.  We have a new F1 world champion, though one expects that Mercedes, who are already disputing race director Michael Masi’s somewhat wavering interpretation of the rules, will go to law if they don’t get their way.

Here it is.  Enjoy:

Doesn’t count in my book

Just not this one ...

Yes, Barbara Broccoli thinks the culture war can be pushed to its logical conclusion:

007 ‘could be non-binary’: Britain’s most famous spy could in future be someone who considers themselves neither male or female, says Barbara Broccoli
• James Bond could identify as ‘non-binary’ in future, 007’s producer has revealed
• Barbara Broccoli poured cold water on suggestions the role could go to a woman
• But she conceded future Bond could be ‘non-binary’ and use the pronoun ‘they’

‘The name’s Bond. James Bond. Pronouns: Them/they.’

He may be an enduring symbol of masculinity, but Britain’s most famous spy could identify as ‘non-binary’ in future, 007’s producer has revealed.

Barbara Broccoli has poured cold water on suggestions the role could go to a woman… but in a new interview, she conceded a future Bond could be ‘non-binary’ – someone who considers themselves neither male or female, and usually prefers to be referred to as ‘they’ rather than ‘he’ or ‘she’.

Speaking to the Girls On Film podcast, Ms Broccoli talked about the hunt to replace Daniel Craig who is stepping down from the role after No Time To Die.

When host Anna Smith asked if she thought 007 would always be male, she replied: ‘I do, because I don’t think that we should be making films where women are playing men.

‘I think we should be making more films about women. I think Bond will be a man.’

Smith suggested ‘Non-binary, perhaps, maybe one day?’ to which Ms Broccoli replied: ‘Who knows? I mean, I think it’s open. We just have to find the right actor.’

Ms Broccoli, who controls the 007 franchise through her Eon Production company, also said the next Bond might not be white, adding: ‘We want the actor to be British… and British, as we know, can be many things.’ ...

British can also mean sane white men who will never patronise Babs’ cash-cow again.  OK, the Bond character was always a degenerate.  Black women, Chinese women, Japanese women, other men’s mystery meat wives, fortune-hunters in casinos, spy-girls with guns or bikinis or not even bikinis ...  But he was always unquestionably a man.  Apparently, that will cease to be necessary, and audiences will just accept it cuz “progress”.  It’s interesting how Babs just slots, so to speak, in with the Judaic default assumption that the gentile has no nature and can be herded into this social confection or that.  She ... they ... zee/zey, whatever ... are wrong, were always wrong.  Nature will out.

As it happens, there is a way for Eon Production to prove it.  Obviously, the franchise is wedded to ever greater techno-spectacle and ever greater postmodern lunacy.  But a nice way to honour Fleming and continue the Bond character, while keeping 007 running along the current mad lines, would have been a scaled down second series returned to the 1960s but with the grittiness and greater psychological depth of the Craig films.  A decent writer would be Russell Lake, who created the Endeavour character and who has a fine eye for period.

I would bet that the 007 spectacle would die out and the beauty of the lost world of Europe would prevail.

After Lewis Hamilton’s race activism and Seb Vettel’s homo-activism we get a mob-handed jab-activist video from the “driver community” of F1.  It is very difficult to imagine the swashbuckling greats of FI’s past like Nigel Mansell, Graham Hill, or James Hunt obediently following the corporate script.  Are men today really so much smaller in their personal stature and sense of right and wrong?  Is that what the vast wealth they can accrue today does to them?

Interestingly, the only driver who has absented himself from jab-duty is Kimi Räikkönen, who probably does belong to the individualist model of yesteryear, and who, anyway, is leaving the circus after tomorrow’s final race of the season.

According to his wiki page, Norman Fenton is “Professor of Risk Information Management at Queen Mary University of London and is also a director of Agena, a company that specialises in risk management for critical systems”.  Queen Mary is a research university allied to UCL.

Here Prof Fenton explains his department’s eye-opening work on all-cause mortality in regard to the claimed efficacy of the Covid vaccines.  This short LBC interview from 4th December is currently posted on YouTube, so it’s living on borrowed time.  Prof Fenton has already found that the usual journals of peer review are rejecting his papers - something he says he has never experienced before.
