Hacked by a rapscallion, this is my new and hopefully temporary home before my original account is restored. If it is not, we will "build back better"

It has taken me best part of a day to respond to messages & I am not even half way through.
With apologies & gratitude to all those to whom I have not managed to respond, I shall now be switching back to @QcWynter.
I am immensely grateful for your support.
It meant a great deal.
X has mounted a decisive counterstrike, evicted the fraudster crypto brigands & restored my account to me. My first order of business has been to delete the scam crypto post. Next, everyone blocked will be unblocked. After that, it will be back to normal. Thank you, everyone...
I shall complete responding to those who posted to me
@KCTheColin before putting that account into the deep freeze in case anything like this should ever happen again.
The volume of responses was emotionally overwhelming & I shall forever be grateful.
Onwards and upwards!
I have been snookered into agreeing to become the "Safeguarding Officer" for my local church, despite my protestations that I am barely Christian.
With a congregation of between 8 & 10 regulars (no children), I reckon it should be a doddle.
There will though be "online courses".
To celebrate today and recent events, I have opened a bottle of Ch Kirwan 2004.
It is my favourite wine of the Margaux appellation other than Ch Margaux itself, which can only ever be a rare treat.
As with every other Kirwan, half one's time is spent enjoying the aroma & bouquet.
Several years ago, when asked to draft the cyber insurance policy wording for a major broker keen to expand its market share, I was introduced to a "black hat" turned "white hat" hacker who had moved to Lithuania to effect his ransoms & returned home a rich man.
I do love irony.
It will take a while for me to respond to all the very kind responses received.
On my hacked account, only a selection of responses were shepherded to my attention.
On this new account, I currently see everything, so please bear with me as I read/respond to all or most.
🙏🙏
With Our Andy now being referred to as the TikTok PM, I could lay claim to have coined the term but without access to my hacked account, I am unable to prove it and anyway, others may have done so at same time given his prodigious TikTok output.
Does seem to be working for him.
This performative expression of guilt does absolutely nothing for me.
Constant self-flagellation only serves to remind black people of their previous oppressed status (we need no reminding, thank you) & is thus done, not for us, but for people like the Archbishop.
Self-centred.
Today I visited Cape Coast Castle. Seeing the horrific conditions that thousands of people were kept in, it is impossible not to feel the weight of the immense evil that drove the transatlantic slave trade.
I pray not only in lament for the Church’s involvement in the slave trade, but also for hope - hope that the God of healing can bring justice and reconciliation to all who are still impacted by its legacy.
In the name of Jesus Christ, who came to set people free, I pray that we have the courage to continue our journey of repentance, and to strive for a world in which all of God's children are treated with dignity.
A lot of black/brown people signed.
Very disappointing.
I would need to be persuaded (unlikely) by explanations of how 100+ (some say 180+) instances of unattributed, lifted passages had come to be before I would even consider signing.
These chose to dive in on basis of race.
Regular readers may remember that Tyrone The Misunderstood would gobble down 3 sachets of cat food on each of his twice a day visits (6/day).
Now in residence & his marauding days a thing of the past, he has less need for energy & is now down to 1 sachet per sitting (ie 3/day).
I was asked to appear on the BBC to discuss something or other.
Because I knew that what I said would be regarded by the BBC as the "controversial" opinion, I asked for assurance that my opinion would not be editorialised after I had said it.
No reassurance, so no interview.
Crikey.
I started the morning on 0 followers, went to have brunch & returned to 200.
This evening I flipped a couple of burgers, fell asleep on the sofa & awake to find I have 3200.
A big hug to everyone. Group hug.
Come on. Bring it in.
I feel loved.
♥️
Thank you to everyone who has decided to follow me on this new and hopefully temporary account.
I don't think this qualifies as a "sock account" and it feels at this stage a bit like howling into the wind, but I see nothing wrong with that if what is said is true and good.
Merci.
Notice how this bottle of Alsace wine, unlike traditional Bordeaux & Burgundy bottles, has no punt?
Principal reason?
Wines from Alsace were shipped by barge smoothly along the Rhine, so bottles did not need the glass- heavy structural support of a punt.
A real saving in costs.
At the point that my account was hacked, ructions were taking place within The Polycule, with disgruntlement & high dudgeon being expressed by one of the three about the conduct of Señor Molly.
I wonder how that has been going.
Only on X am I able to I discover.
Bush was charged with many things under Fraud Act & Companies Acts 2006 but preventing a lawful & decent burial, like murder, is a common law offence.
Until 1969, even theft was a common law offence.
Our common law has given us so much & continues to do so to this day, eg "tort".

This was not sent by me but by criminal bastards who seek to steal your money.
They hacked my account & have closed replies, something I have never done & would never do.
I shall post a video with proof of who I am when/if my account is restored to me.
Meanwhile, ignore "me".
