intimations

The magpie jumped down from the fence and landed in a puddle.
Right in front of me she began to splash water over herself.
Magpies are normally quite shy.
The creature conveyed in that moment a celebration of life but also a gift of trust directed towards me.
What was the old one liner?
The kingdom of heaven is your midst.
That evening up at the Hill Wood the crows swirled in their myriads prior to picking a branch to roost on during the hours of darkness.
Their nightly praise of God, their thanksgiving as it were, is given in this gavotte upon the wind currents.
Wheeling and turning, rising and falling, roiling above and below each other, never seeming to collide.
Maybe they do glance off each other but because of the way they are so finely made, it isn't a problem nor is it visible to the human eye.
Their flight seems as riotously chaotic as it is graciously balletic.
Gradually more and more of them peel away into the trees, disappearing as they settle amid the foliage.
Soon there are only a few still flying.
Then these disappear.
There is still much chattering from the branches where they nest.
Creatures rejoice in the creation.

Dear Commie atheist left wing abortionist, Islamist, satanist, Skangs.
I hope I'm not leaving any of you out.
I mean I don't want to go casting no aspoyshuns.
Why don't you go collude with freemasonic police officers to frame Cliff Richard for child abuse again live on national television,again, and then refuse to identify which of you set up the scam, again, and then refuse to report the fact that the police were refusing to investigate themselves as requested by parliament for their part in the scam, again, and then claim falsely that you've done nothing wrong. Again.

PS: If you insist on writing to me I shall write an open letter to the people of England urging them to democratise you,  ie to compel you to trade on merit without the assistance of a billion dollar Stalinist public subvention styled the licence fee.
PPS: You skangs.
PPPS: The piece of Welsh in your subject line gave a refreshing poetic comprehensibility to your elsewhere obfuscatory communication. Mae eich cyfrif to you too.

the crunch question

Question: Why did members of the Irish police force wear masks over their faces while evicting supposed activists from a house in Dublin last week?

Answer: Because the police think these activists are in fact a skang gang run by the IRA and its political proxies Sinn Fein, and they had no intention of allowing an IRA Sinn Fein skang gang to film or otherwise identify police officers going about their duty with a view to targetting them and their families later on as per common IRA Sinn Fein skang gang practice in the Ireland of today. It is also somewhat pleasing to think that perhaps some of the police were giving a two fingered salute to the IRA Sinn Fein skang gang in question at the supposed protest, in that the knitted masks the cops wore are more often worn by IRA Sinn Fein skang gangs at supposed protests and during bank robberies and while dealing drugs, and when terrorising the community, and elsewhere.
