The Daily Telegraph

Hmm.

Daily Telegraph agony column.

The first one says, two complex with description must have full report, terms agreed to, payable when goods delivered.

Signed, Piro.

I've invited the gentleman who sold the papers to meet us.

How? I don't understand.

I inserted this advertisement in today's Daily Telegraph.

Tonight, same hour, same place, two taps, vitally important.

As these forces began to concentrate upon the City Hall, according to the newsletter, not only from Royal Avenue and Donegal Place, but also along Chichester Street, Wellington Place and Bedford Street, the throng became immense and on every side one beheld a sea of faces, so dense and numerous were the crowds and the central thoroughfares that the tramway traffic had to be diverted.

Pictures of the event, published in the Belfast Evening Telegraph, testified to the enormous numbers of Edwardians in their dull suits and headgear, their Sunday best, sun-waving flags, their dense masses wherever the eye could see, stretching back as if to infinity.

Union jacks, bannerettes and club standards lent the touch of colour to the scene, and the bands which accompanied the Orangemen and club members played stirring music.

The Ulster Day Committee had called for widespread displays of the national emblem, and the City Hall, the public buildings, and the middle-class Protestant districts, as well as the private housing and the workers' ghettos, flew the Union Jack.

Behind them over Belfast City Hall, the slogan, We Will Not Have Home Rule, was illuminated in huge letters over the Copper Dome.

The same slogan was illuminated in big bold letters over the Ulster Hall, along with the additional slogan, Ulster Will Fight.

Even at the quay, as the band struck up Come Back The Erin, the Ulster crowds, male and female, swarmed around Carson and, as the Telegraph related, every vantage point was occupied.

The tops have covered railway wagons especially, affording a fine view of the scene.

It's about the West.

Garry Kasparov, for example, the chess guy, you know, the former world chess champion, longtime opponent of Putin anyway, just like me, made that argument in a Telegraph column that was published October 27th, and he describes a campaign that to overturn the democratic order, no less than to overturn the democratic order of things.

The fighting in Ukraine, the hostile activity beyond it, it's all designed for that.

That's Kasparov's assessment.

Get somebody to say that on the media.

Pay them a little money.

Look at the Telegraph's reporting about Russian fishing trawlers.

You don't know about this, do you? They're conducting surveillance around Britain's undersea cables.

The Dublin correspondent of the Morning Post confirms the statement wired by our representatives on the other page, to the effect that over 100 officers at Couric have resigned rather than consent to take part in the coercion of Ulster.

it quoted a lady whose son was in the lancers and who upon being notified he was resigning and requiring the reason why received the reply that it was on account of the regiment being ordered the ulster not only he but all the rest of the officers had sent in their resignations The government, the Telegraph editorial continued, has been warned for some time past that any attempt to employ troops in the coercion of Ulster might lead to the resignation of officers and the widespread dissatisfaction among the non-commissioned officers and men.

There is reason to believe, said the Times, that the ministers are gravely perturbed by the threatened resignations of officers in the Dublin garrison and were in conference on the subject with the heads of the War Office last evening.

It went on, the situation appears to be less immediately threatening...

The improvement is due to the presence of Sir Edward Carson, who has evidently arrived not a moment too soon.

The danger is that a spark may at any moment be thrown into the explosive atmosphere produced by the recent course of events.

The Daily Telegraph editorial impined...

No one now living in these islands certainly has ever seen or ever dreamed of such a condition of things as exists in the north of Ireland.

And, you know, the story gets even better because the tablet was incomplete.

The Daily Telegraph paid for Smith to go back to Nineveh to search for missing material, which sounds almost impossible when you think about it, because he was looking through a gigantic ruined library for fragments of one story.

He went out in 1873 and actually found a piece that helped fill the gap.

The British Museum still holds flood fragments excavated by Smith himself, including SM.881 which joins other pieces of the Gilgamesh flood narrative, and another fragment, DT.42, preserves part of an Atra-Hasis flood tradition.

Hello, and welcome to another podcast of me, Stephen Allen, keeping you up to date with, I would say, the latest news.

I wanted to start with this, not the main story today, but definitely the most recent push alert I got from the Telegraph app.

Sydney Sweeney would make a good Bond girl.

All right.

in the interest of economic growth?

Well, I mean, first of all, I think at both ends of the spectrum, firstly, the welfare state, you know, the stats we've seen recently, Telegraph just published, is it one third of all the money, our money? And by the way, I mean, we've all heard it, but each one of us in this country owes 100,000 pounds.

That's how much our debt is.

And that is not money that we've got to spend in the future.

But it's not just rail discounts.

The UK Telegraph has reported that people with ADHD are qualifying for disability discounts on everything from sex toys to holidays.

No wonder people are celebrating a diagnosis.

Alison Griffiths, the Shadow Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Transport, told the Telegraph, rail discounts for people with genuine serious disabilities are perfectly reasonable, but taxpayers should not be expected to fork out for people with low-level mental health conditions.

The whole object the report concluded had been to blockade Ulster and provoke bloodshed.

On the 20th of April, a Daily Telegraph correspondent, not aware of the Ulster Unionist Council's publication, showed Edward Carson a copy of a radical paper alleging that the burden of proving the UUC's assertion that there had been a plot to coerce Ulster was on the Unionist executive.

In answer, Carson set out the truth as he saw it to the press, and his words were widely reported as he laid out the consequences that would have resulted had Winston Churchill's plan been successfully executed as he had intended.

The government, Sir Edward Carson observed, have it in their hands to hold a judicial inquiry and the parties concerned have it in their hand to test the matter in the law courts.
