Continuity Remain Campaign's New Front Group Fooling No-One
This week the newly-formed UK Trade & Business Commission, according to a tweet, will be "taking evidence from a range of voices, representing all four UK nations and both sides of the Brexit debate, to ensure a thorough and balanced review of the government's trade policy." Guido wouldn't advise anyone interested in their evidence to expect any balance, however; despite their innocent name the UK Trade & Business Commission is merely a front for the old remain Best for Britain campaign. In the small print is an acknowledgement that "the Secretariat is provided by Best for Britain".Their launch was topped off with a fawning Peter Foster puff piece…
The 'Commission' is headed up by a usual raft of anti-Brexit MPs, including Hilary Benn, Claire Hanna, Roger Gale, Stephen Hammond, Caroline Lucas and Layla Moran. The 2 Tory MPs should know they are joining forces with Best for Britain, who are still pumping out graphics describing the PM as "an international stain on our reputation"…
Guido's especially interested in the name of this Remainer campaign, given there are rules that prevent businesses from referring to themselves as a "commission". While the registered company name remains Best for Britain, it's new face clearly against the spirit of the rules – especially given Dan Hannan had to rename his new outlet a few years ago, from the Institute of Free Trade to the Initiative for Free Trade, due to the same company naming laws. Guido predicts most will be sensible enough to ignore Benn's latest vanity project…

Layla Moran isn't having a great week in the Lib Dem leadership contest. First she was slapped down by the NHS for exaggerating hospitalisation figures by 2780%. Now Guido can reveal that her campaign website is flouting the rules on cookies. Guido has spotted that her website's policy is (poorly) copy and pasted from the Gina Miller-founded Best for Britain campaign…
What's worse is when running her website through a cookie checker service, the cookies that appear do not match those listed in her cookie policy. It appears that she has just lifted the Best for Britain policy and changed it to say 'Vote Layla', whilst not actually changing the cookies. For example, the cookie checker lists a number of Facebook ad tracking cookies that are not listed on Layla's website…
Looks like the arch-Remainer's website is targeting people on Facebook without telling them That seems like a GDPR breach…

Best for Britain Weaponising Coronavirus as Fundraising Opportunity
As the number of deaths from Coronavirus rises to six, and confirmed cases hits 373, pro-EU pressure group Best for Britain has lept on the virus's domination of the news to use it as a data-gathering and fund-raising exercise. Stay classy, gentlemen…
An email sent to their mailing list asks Remainers, "With coronavirus spreading, can our NHS survive without them?" before asking them to sign a petition to stand up for immigrants and standing up for the NHS, with 12,639 having taken up the offer so far. The pressure group – founded by Gina Miller's – also found space in the email to stick in two big red 'donate' buttons…
Best for Britain aren't the only ones piggybacking off Coronavirus; today Labour Peer Baroness Smith of Basildon argued that because of COVID-19, "It may be difficult to do all the [future relationship] negotiations in the time they want." The government is racing ahead, with plans to publish a draft FTA in days, but Remainers are still praying for a Deus ex Machina…

Esther and Walton residents today found leaflets being pushed through their letterboxes attacking Dominic Raab's handling of the Harry Dunn case. It even came with a lovely poster…
The leaflet comes from candidate Kyle Taylor who is standing for 'Advance Together'. It includes a number of blunt low-blows as well as certain fonts that are reminiscent of a Lib Dem leaflet – so what is 'Advance Together'?
Advance Together is a party led by Annabel Mullin (who promotes the anti-Raab leaflet) – a former Lib Dem candidate for Kensington and Change UK candidate in the EU elections.
Kyle Taylor – the candidate putting the anti-Raab leaflet out – is also a former Lib Dem, having worked as Chief of Staff to Simon Hughes MP for three years and his campaign manager in 2017. He also worked for Best for Britain.
Kyle also ran the 'Fair Vote Project' – a failed campaign established by Guido's friends Zoolander Shahmir and Chris Wylie.
Kyle's leaflets make no mention of his new 'party' and only mention his name once in a small font. It's unlikely voters will remember the name Kyle Taylor or Advance Together when they get to the ballot box. They will remember the attack on Raab.
This kind of kamikaze candidate attack will only help the Lib Dems and Kyle gets an extra £30,000 to spend to help his real favoured party out, while keeping the Lib Dems 'clean' of such extreme negative campaigning. Expect even more dodgy tactics from Lib Dems as election day approaches…

Remain's Facebook 'Dark Money' Massively Outweighs Leave
New data published by Facebook has revealed that yet again Remain is massively outspending Leave on social media, with almost twice as much money being spent by second referendum groups. Guido has listed relevant Facebook spending above £10,000…
People's Vote: £433,384
Britain's Future £422,746
Best For Britain: £317,463
UK Government*: £245,353
The Conservative Party*: £114,924
Liberal Democrats: £82,600
The Labour Party*: £75,462
We are the 52%: £51,845
Right To Vote: £27,296
The Brexit Party £19,082
Renew: £13,275
In total this puts dedicated big Remain spending at £874,018, compared to just £493,673 for Leave. This hasn't stopped the media attacking The Brexit Party for spending less than £20,000. Loopy Remainers have even called this 'Dark Money'…
But it isn't. Political parties have to declare their funding by law. The 'dark money' listed here is that which is spent by pressure groups like People's Vote and Best for Britain, not political parties. This puts the Leave 'dark money spend at £474,591, compared to a Remain 'dark money' spend of £778,143. More post truth politics from Remain campaigners…

New spending figures released by Facebook have revealed that since October the top five anti-Brexit lobby groups have spent 60% more than than the top pro-Brexit groups. Anti-Brexit campaigners have spent over £711,000 promoting targeted anti-Brexit messages…
Despite this figure dwarfing the £444,000 spent by the top pro-Brexit campaigners, there have been little to no media reports about scale or source of these funds, or the motives of those bankrolling it. Disconcertingly, the anti-Brexit groups have also ran £37,926 worth of Facebook ads without a disclaimer, further undermining the accountability of the anti-Brexit lobby.

It looks like it's holding up well. I don't think you'll have a problem making it until Sunday.

I see now why you love buns... They are elegant and they can be made from simple to sophisticated.
Oh that is very cute!
This is super cute! I think I'll try it for work. How did you incorporate the braiding hair to make your bun bigger?

Louis Riel Petitions for a Reserve in Montana.
Below is a summary of a petition for a Metis reserve in Montana, sent by Louis Riel to General Nelson A. Miles, August 6, 1880. Martha Foster has pointed out that many of the signatories were members of the Spring Creek Metis Band. (Many) had settled on Spring Creek the summer before. Other signatories were their friends and relatives, most of whom eventually settled to the north in the Milk River/Havre/Zortman area, or to the west at St. Peters Mission near the present day Cascade and along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.1 A number of family patriarchs led this group, namely; Francois Amyotte Sr. (b. 1819), Pierre Berger Sr. (b. 1816), William Davis Sr. (b. 1824), Louis Gariepy (b. 1828), Salomon Hamelin (b. 1810), and Pierre Laverdure (b. 1819). Previously, in 1878, a group of Metis at Cypress Hills had sent a petition requesting a reopening of the buffalo hunt between November 14th and February 15th each year and the granting of Metis reserve land. The request was for a strip of land 150 miles long along the American border beginning where the Pembina River crosses the border. This strip was to be fifty miles from south to north. A number of the signatories to this petition signed that 1878 petition as well. Some of the families who signed both petitions are the Charettes, Davises, Fagnants, Garipys, Hamelins, Lafontaines, Laframboises, Marions, Lveill and Ouelettes. Musselshell River, M.T. August 6th 1880. Brt. Maj. Genl. N.A. Miles U.S.A. General We the undersigned Halfbreeds, have the honour to lay before you the following petition, trusting to your kindness to forward it through to the proper authorities of the U.S. Government at Washington, hoping also, from your knowledge of our people and habits that you will represent to the government our claims to a favourable hearing. We ask the government to set apart a portion of land as a special reservation for the halfbreeds, as, scattered amongst other settlers, it becomes a very difficult matter for us to make a living and owing to our present limited means and want of experience in economy, we cannot compete with the majority of our fellow countrymen. Our want of legal knowledge has also been a stumbling block in our way, as often defrauded by tricky men, we have again been as individuals put to expense in the law courts uselessly, and this alone has rendered us often unable to remain more than four or five years at a time in our place without becoming completely impoverished. If the U.S. government would kindly consider this petition we promise that our first measure would be to completely exclude liquor of all kinds from the reservation.
Martha Foster, We Know Who We Are: Metis Identity in a Montana Community. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2006: 96.
We would also respectfully ask that a sum of money be appropriated for us, for a certain period, for the following purposes: 1. to erect and support schools, and pay for competent teachers; 2. for providing us with necessary agricultural implements; 3. for providing farming seeds, potatoes etc for spring sowing, as a commencement; 4. for a certain amount of cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. In asking this we would respectfully state that we would have no need for the clothes and provisions annually issued to Indians by government. We promise on our part to endeavour to live as law abiding people and in case we succeed in getting a reservation set apart, we ask that all Halfbreeds entering said reservations and settling on land shall own that land according to homestead, preemption or timber acts or such other way as the government may desire. .. Trusting the above petition may meet with favourable consideration, We remain General, Your most obedient servants.

(1847-1932) Ben Kline was born on October 13, 1847 at what is now known as Fort Totten, near Mni Wakan (now called Devils Lake), North Dakota. His father Michel Klyne Jr. was born in 1811 at Edmonton, a Half-Breed descendent of Michel Klyne Sr. and Suzanne Lafrance a Mtisse. His mother was Madeleine Millet dit Beauchemin, whose father was a French Canadien, Andre Millet dit Beauchemin who had married a HalfBreed Crow woman Charlotte Pelletier. Benjamins parents moved to Pembina from Red River in the late 1840s. As a boy Ben attended the mission school where the Chippewa speaking missionarys wife taught him to speak English. In 1886, he married Angelic Ayimatch St. Pierre (b. 1845), the daughter of Franois St. Pierre and Marie Laverdure. Typical of Metis traders and buffalo hunters their 10 children were born at many
locations, namely: Little Missouri, Lebret, Wood Mountain, Cypress Hills, St. Peters Mission and Hammel Creek. Kline made his first journey to Montana Territory in 1865 and found a large Metis band of Metis hunters living on the Milk River. He returned to gather a group to settle in Montana. They traveled up the Missouri River, then up the Milk River to a site between the towns of Glasgow and Malta. There they erected a number of cottonwood constructed cabins. Subsequently a small pox epidemic broke out among the neighbouring Indians. The illness did not affect the Metis and the Indians were angered over this and made life unbearable for them. Kline thus moved back to Devils Lake as a precautionary measure. In 1867, the family returned to Montana. Their camp was visited by X. Biedler the United States Marshal for Montana who had heard Metis traders from Canada were there illegally transacting business. He confiscated their stock (over $15,000.00 worth of goods) burned their cabins and ordered traders Antoine Gladue and James Francis, to return to Canada. He allowed the rest of the party to remain. Kline then asked the Marshal how they were to get supplies and ammunition for hunting. In response, Biedler asked Francis Janeaux who was part of the Marshals party to stay and open a store. This was the start of what was to become a close friendship between Kline and Janeaux. For the next two years Kline and the other 25 Metis families lived on the Milk River and hunted buffalo as far west as the Little Rockies. The hides, after dressing, were sold to the T.C. Powers & Brothers Co. Pierre Berger was the leader of this Metis band but because he did not speak English, Kline transacted almost all the bands business. The others in the camp were Bergers brothers, Isaie and John, Vital Turcotte and Frank Ouelette, all Metis of French-GermanCree-Chippewa and Assiniboine ancestry. In May of 1879, a group of Milk River families led by Pierre Berger moved to the Judith Basin. Ben Kline and his boyhood friend Moise LaTray were with this main party. Kline and LaTray were both related to the Wilkies (Bergers wife) through the Charlotte Pelletier family. Captain Williams, the commanding officer at Fort Benton, furnished the Metis with an escort of two soldiers and two civilians who guided them as far as what in later years became known as the Felix McGinn ranch on Cottonwood Creek. From there the party moved toward Big Spring Creek and camped on the
former John Crowley ranch north of the former Great Northern freight house in Lewistown. Two hunters were sent to Black Butte, northeast of Lewistown, to locate the buffalo. In a short time they reported they had found a large herd northeast of the butte. After a few days of rest, all the hunters went after the buffalo and killed large numbers. It was necessary for the Metis to follow the buffalo and they drifted in the direction of Flatwillow Creek. In July 1879, they were joined by Pierre Laverdure, Frances Daignon and Francis Janeaux, who had traveled from Fort Benton. They all moved south of the Big Snowy Mountains toward Judith Gap where they found the country literally black with buffalo, and they killed so many that it took them a week to dress and dry the meat. After returning to Big Spring Creek, they camped near Reedsfort where they found Paul Morase and a Canadian named Renaud who had come from Rocky Point on the Missouri. They were so pleased with their surroundings that they decided to take up land and make the basin their permanent home. Morase and Janeaux located on the present site of Lewistown and streets are named for them. Other Metis settled on Burnett and Boyd Creek, which empty into Big Spring Creek near Lewistown. Some went further east toward Grass Range on coulees and streams tributary to Big Spring and McDonald creeks. They remained there and raised their families and increased in numbers. From 1890 to 1900 they had a population of probably 400 to 500. During that period they attained considerable political strength with a representative vote of from 75 to 100, and their support was largely sought by the politicians. Due to the untimely death of Francis Janeaux in 1888 at the age of 49, Kline took over as leader of the Lewistown area Metis. Ben Kline was one of the few who could speak English, a leader among them and a man of great influence. In 1880, Kline took up a homestead a few miles east of Lewistown on Half Breed Creek and developed an excellent ranch property there free of encumbrances. Benjamin died in 1832 at Lewistown, Montana.

Typical of buffalo hunting families Antoine and Madeleine had children born at Saskatoon, Wood Mountain, Cypress Hills and Crooked Lake.

Calixte, though a plains hunter, retained a residence in St. Franois Xavier until he sold his river lot in 1877. He then moved to the plains settling at Oak Lake with his large family shortly thereafter. They did not
remain long, however, moving to Batoche between 1882 and 1884. After the fighting at Batoche, they escaped to the Metis encampment at Sioux Valley then moved south to Turtle Mountain.

Lesbian Identity in British and Taiwanese Contemporary Novels
Department of Foreign Languages & Literature
Lesbian Identity in British and Tai
Chih-Hui Fang
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
Conjointly influenced by western theoretical practices and Chinese conceptions, lesbian and gay identities in Taiwan are represented differently from those of western culture. There exist two particular scenarios in Taiwanese lesbian texts: lesbian conflicts of self-identity under the constructions of private (familial ties) and public (social prejudice) spheres, and the existence of reticent characteristics of women's romantic friendship. Through the comparison of British (Western) and Taiwanese (Chinese) lesbian novels, this book demonstrates women's romantic friendship as a long-term phenomenon in lesbianism in Chinese culture, as well as the overrepresentation of sexual autonomy in contemporary Taiwan. Through the investigation of female homoeroticism in Chinese lesbian texts, it discusses lesbianism through the characteristics of female same-sex desire, both spiritually and physically. By tracing lesbianism through Chinese concepts and western ideology, lesbian eroticism should cover all aspects of passionate emotions. This definition provides a suitable lesbian subjectivity for the modern Chinese literary

In the spirit of my last post, here is my first review – of Paranormalcy by Kiersten White.
I started Paranormalcy yesterday afternoon and finished it last night (late last night). It isn't short, I just really loved it. The characters are appealing, with real histories, depth and complexity, the voice of the protagonist is fully realised and convincing and it's exciting, keeping the reader off-balance and in as much suspense as Evie herself.
From my perspective, the book's main theme was 'normalcy' and how people perceive it. All the characters want to do is be free to live their idea of a normal life – it appears to be the driving motivation of every character. But of course, normal for one person is not normal for another and freedom is not always necessarily a good thing … or is it?
Nothing in this book is what it seems.
The book opens with a 'normal' incident in the life of the main character – Evie. And what a great opening. Evie reminded me a lot of Buffy – she's an attractive blonde teenager who goes out hunting vampires (and other supernaturals). But unlike Buffy, there's no chance of Evie falling in love with a vampire. Her own power is that she can see through 'glamours' (the images that supernaturals project to the world) and to her eyes vampires look like 'your grandpa … minus fifty pounds, plus 200 years'. She's 'sassy', she uses a pink taser that she has nicknamed Tasey and has a passion for the colour pink.
But she has lived in an institute since she was eight, has no idea who her parents are, and craves human contact and affection so much that it endangers her. The institute she works for seems a bit like 'the initiative' (again Buffy) a government agency out to 'bag and tag' paranormals and there are clearly things going on in there that she doesn't know.
At the end of her normal day, Evie foils an apparent attempt by a shapeshifter to infiltrate the institute and discovers that paranormals are being murdered. Why they are being killed and how it involves Evie forms the backbone of the storyline.
The romance in the book is lovely. It is not too 'hot and heavy', nor is it 'love at first sight', it is a touching and realistic depiction of two people who have never known what it's like to be loved for themselves, to really be 'seen'. For me, a particularly emotional scene has Lend taking the form of an unattractive boy and when Evie barely even notices he says "you don't really care about this face, do you?"; that's all White needs to say to show the reader how desperately Lend has wanted to know that someone his age likes him for something other than the face he can project.
Like Shakespeare often does with his play-within-a-play, White also plays a great game with 'what could have been'. Easton Heights is a high school soap opera, Evie's favourite programme, which she imagines portrays normal high school life. When Evie gets to spend a single day in a real high school, she expects cat-fights and snogging, but in fact gets an ordinary day. White plays brilliantly with the stereotypes of teenage fiction; for example, she sets up a character as 'the mean girl' and in many other books she would have attacked Evie just because she's 'the mean girl', but she backs down and they end up being quite friendly. It was clever and it made me smile.
The threat hanging over Evie, the creepy stalker ex that she can't shake, the scent of death that surrounds her every move, is brilliantly depicted. White has done her research and that makes it all the more real, especially as so much of the story depends on an important piece of faery lore.
I really can't say how much I enjoyed reading this book
My only criticism is that, given Evie's importance to the government (a whole international treaty has been developed around her very existence), she gets to spend a lot of time in the field unprotected – one would imagine that she would at the very least, have a hulking bodyguard, it being set in America. Still, that was the only thing that required me to suspend my disbelief – and this is in a book that also contains werewolves, mermaids, vampires, shapeshifters, faeries and much more. That's how good the writing is.
I heartily recommend Paranormalcy, it's a fresh voice in the 'paranormal romance' market and everyone should enjoy it.
Becky the Bookette
What a fantastic review! I really loved this book. It took me by surprise. I thought it would be much more shallow than it was. I thought it posed some interesting questions which I "read" as referring to Quantanamo Bay.
I see your point about Evie being unprotected. Perhaps they do not want to alret her to the fact that she is so important?


Saving Forever share their new single "Million Ways" today viaEpic Records. Get it HERE. It's the latest anthem from the Chicago rock sensation comprised of teen brothers—14-year-old Khaden Harris [lead vocals & guitar], 15-year-old Kye Harris [bass & vocals], and 16-year-old Kavah Harris [guitar & vocals]. "Million Ways" follows the release of the band's debut single"Twenty 1" earlier this summer.
Kicking off with an unshakable bass line, the song builds into high energy riffing and a wildly chantable refrain. In addition, the boys shared the appropriately raucous and rambunctious music video for "Million Ways." In the clip, the trio tears it up at a funky karaoke bar, and everyone in the audience gets in on the action taking over the mic. You'll find a "million ways" to love them after one listen!
Starting to make big waves, Elvis Duran handpicked Saving Forever as his "Artist of the Month." They make their debut on NBC's Today ShowMonday August 14. Next up, they hit the stage during Arthur Ashe Kids' Day at the US Open—airing on ABC August 27. Radio Disney recently added "Million Ways" into rotation and NickMusic just named Saving Forever their Fresh Artist of the week next week while the band will also be a guest DJ on NickRadio.
Saving Forever stand on the cusp of a rock 'n' roll revolution. Stay tuned for more soon!
Uncovering everything from Ozzy Osbourne to Twenty One Pilots on their Playstation, Saving Forever taught themselves how to play instruments and cover classic rock favorites in the living room. A demo of their first songs landed in the hands of Epic Records, and the label signed the band after one explosive showcase. Now, they're ready to take over rock—before even graduating high school!
