Eeh by gum.

WRITE TO EVERY MP TO VOTE AGAINST THESE COViD MEASUREs

tell them it is ruining your lives – businesses – jobs

Dear Second
We must write to EVERY MP and tell them you damaging these lockdowns are to your life – you jobs – you businesses and health.

Ask them why is is good for Amazon to thrive while local shops go bust.
Ask them why is it good for Starbuck to thrive with takeaway while local pubs go bust.

Done!

In addition some of us we need to stand in the elections against these people.
Local Elections are in May 2021. This will provide a stronger response for national elections in 4 years time.

A boycott of the LibLabConSNP misfits as a protest I am a member of the SDP so I won’t support the LibLabConSNP as they are rotten and corrupt

Wrote my first ever letter to my MP yesterday!

“EEE by gum” = A craze in the late 90’s in northern nightclubs

An oldie, but a goodie.

I’d still like to propose “Iron Hand” by Dire Straits as a theme song, on account of it being about police abuse of power.

Ever since reading Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ (see his reference to dogs being used to police the other animals) I’ve been concerned by the way in which Police (and the power of arrest) are utilised by Authoritarians to suppress dissent and to cower the population into compliance. It really does seem to be high time that the Police were de-fanged of their power to abuse us.

Some of the comments I read on the Daily Mail today were saying that perhaps the BLM protestors were right and it’s time to defund the police. Interesting turn of events.

Animal Farm describes our current state with deadly precision.
Orwell makes it utterly clear that the sole reason why the Pigs succeed is that the other animals are too stupid to stop them.In particular, the animals can’t remember a time when life was any better, and they can’t detect a lie, however blatant.
Only Benjamin realised what was happening. But he did nothing to stop it. He just wanted to survive.
Bare survival isn’t enough.
Benjamin didn’t have the backing of LS!

We are in big trouble. May 26 Windows on the World RBN May 26, 2020.

When Cmmings went to Barnard Castle last May he popped in to talk with people at GlaxoSmithKline.

I guessed as much. What is your evidence?

And the cheap bastards couldn’t be bothered to chopper him there.

https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.107/7mw.a02.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Stay-Pfizer-vaccine-phase-3-trial.pdf

A notice to the FDA to halt Vaccine Pfizer phase III trials was put in yesterday, all data based on faulty PCR test. Interesting move

And how does that work in a randomised placebo controlled trial? Does the pcr test, whether faulty or not, differentially decide outcome for active vaccine vs. Placebo.

Using a blatantly unfit for purpose test to justify an unneeded, hardly tested and liability free vaccine. That sounds about right.

A senior government source told the Sun: “Boris will not countenance hospitals overflowing like they did in Italy. Nor can we get to the stage where we have to cancel operations and treatments. In all likelihood, the tiers have to stay.”

A fancy way of saying: “I’m a liar, and the PM is a liar”.

In March hospital staff spent a week on overloaded switchboards phoning patients to cancel almost all operations, investigations and consultations to ‘clear for covid’.

For three months they did almost nothing except deal with covid including taking over two specialist departments and closing others, but not at a level to overwhelm them.
In the following three months of ‘relaxed lockdown’ non-covid activity picked up a little though mostly day patients only.

Just as we were being told that the NHS were preparing to avoid being overwhelmed again . . .

Activity is rapidly returning to normal across all departments with only ITU being used for Covid.
I find that rather odd.

Is that the case at a hospital near you?

Yes, a large regional hospital to which all Covid patients are sent except for the asymptomatic.

I was pre-oped on a mid-March morning and my “urgent” surgery was cancelled that very same afternoon. Out of the blue in July I got a call telling me surgery was scheduled for the following week and “Do you understand that you must quarantine for 14 days before coming into hospital?” It wasn’t a request to do it since the surgery was six days away, it was an invitation to lie. So I lied. Additionally, I was asked to go to hospital for PCR swabbing & another pre-op (the last one expired) a couple of days before surgery. That didn’t fit with the quarantine criteria either. I concluded that the staff knew the guidelines were a load of woo, and were doing their utmost to get waiting lists moving again.

Exactly. We are constantly trying to find “workarounds” so we can continue vital services despite the restrictions put on us. It feels as if we are being set up to fail all the time.

Yes, I think that’s exactly what is being done to you.

Hey, I read Simon Stevens’ piece in The Spectator yesterday, he said you were all doing brilliantly, pulling together & treatment levels were back to normal.
Stop moaning, he said it’s all fine if you can just keep the patients away…… he linked to some of his better TikTok videos too, to show what a busy boy he’s been.

Simon the liar.

What a cunt

They allowed me not to wear a mask on the ward (I was the only patient in a six bed bay anyway!). If I went walkabout they asked me to wear a mask off the ward to keep up appearances and not bring down wrath upon them!

In other words, they know the vile things are useless, but dare not say so.

If I wear my face mask below my nose I will be subject to formal disciplinary. The virus is no longer the problem in the NHS it is the management of it that is collapsing the system. Like the risk assessments that have taken out a significant proportion of staff from undertaking direct patient care.

I reckon that’s a good appreciation of the situation.

It’s always dangerous to use one’s own perceptions as indicating the general situation, but my experience is of some really good staff making the best of a bad job.

There is certainly more activity than there was in the panic shut-down in April – although hospitals seem less busy because of the block on visitors. There are obviously also problems from (a) staff being quarantined for a sniffle and (b) pressure on beds from anstisocial distancing measures which reduce capacity.

But despite all the measures, real Covid spread seems to be largely a nosocomial phenomenon

The problem is clearly at the politicized administrative level, who are responsible for the ‘rules’ and who perpetuate the key myths, such as PCR testing representing real ‘cases and the efficacy of wearing cloth masks.

What really concerns me is that highly experienced medical staff are subscribing to the official narrative without much questioning – despite some who are sceptical (and, remember, they’ve also been threatened).

Yep. Spot on.

It’s almost as if the NHS is being deliberately and systematically destroyed, under the slogan of ‘Save our NHS.’ Surely the regime would not be so cynical?

Perhaps front line managers are trying to save themselves in the eyes of the public despite mandates from Whitehall.

Well those managers need to do a much better job.

No it is exactly this and the mind recoils from the fact.
Nor does this reversal apply only to the destruction of what is left of the health service under the PPP of what is now the CHS.

Deliberate and systematic destruction.
An act of revolutionary war working through through our own minds.

The virus actually being eradicated is not the novel ‘plague’.

Howbeit we are deceived.

Whether Sars-cov-2 coronavirus exists or not, Covid-19 is a mega scam and the reaction to it by government is fraud on an apocalyptic scale. All of this is being done simply, to get one of Bill Gate’s several depopulating vaccines coursing through your veins.

Shame on you for doubting Boris.

It’s exactly the playbook. Whatever they call it, it’s the opposite. Whatever they say it’s for, it’s for the opposite. standard psyop.

Johnson should have never been allowed anywhere near public office

The only public office fit for Johnson is a jail, waiting trial for mass murder.

This ****show ends only one of two ways. This is a global coup against humanity, and if we don’t win, we really are finished. Take it very, very seriously, please. And for any doubters – if this doesn’t look like a conspiracy and enemy action to you, what on earth would?

Don’t worry, I know exactly how deep the shit is and yes, as you say, we are in the process of a global coup, nothing less.

Bill Gates has spent the best part of two decades in the third world, perfecting his genocidal vaccines, while leaving a trail of death and suffering in his wake. And now with the determined help of our deeply corrupt government, Gates is coming for the rest of us. Those of us who refuse the vaccines will first be marginalised, but only briefly, before being rounded up and sent on to the death camps.

Our main chance of defeating Gates and our corrupt government is for a huge mass refusal to accept the toxic vaccines. Resistance needs to start now by refusal to wear masks, social distance, or abide by any other of the “scamdemic” restrictions.

And then be executed along with his nut nuts

Yes, death will be everywhere.

What mass murder, the UK death rate is a smidge above 5 year average, its an incredibly boring year for excess death.
.

There was no reason at the time to think he’ll create this mess. Unlike Nigel, he stuck with Brexit. He pushed for it, then continued pushing for it when Theresa May was PM. After he took office, he still pushed for it. He was on good terms with Trump and it looked like he would be a bit closer to what a Tory PM should be. And then he went completely off the rails. The Boris running the country now seems like a different person to the Boris that took office. Of course, he’s probably just showing his true colours, but there was no reason back then to not vote for him.

Perhaps someone reminded Boris, about those very indelicate photos, that had somehow found their way into the wrong hands. And of course, people wouldn’t be over sympathetic if they found out about that breathtakingly large nest egg, that was deposited into one of those discreet off shore accounts, that some politicians will always need.

He made it perfectly clear that he was a shallow, mendacious cynic during the election campaign!

Show no mercy.

Anybody care to calculate the deaths, serious injury and economic damage caused by the past 20 years of terrorism and compare that wrought by the claque of 4 over the past 8 months ?

Terrorism?Ten thousand Carloses couldn’t spread as much terror, misery and death as half a Wancock.

Carlos was also rather more selective in his targeting. Wancock targets everyone.

Wancock wants you to be injected with one of Bill Gate’s hardly tested and liability free vaccines and that’s when the real mass murder will begin.

A year ago I’d have laughed at this. I’m not laughing now!

Wancock is an equal opportunity sadist.

two words Domestic Terrorism

Absolutely I’ve said this since April when I first saw posters saying “Anyone can spread it. If you go out you can spread it. People will die.” Psychological abuse. Terrorism.

Anyone can shine joy or extend love.

A mind of malice fears, hates and destroys, as if to ‘build back better’ as an aggressively defended ‘masking ‘virtue’ under which hate devours from within.

Spiritual destruction works the undermining of the capacity to recognise and share love, as the raising of conflict against the potential for a true communication or witness.

The subordination of heart and mind to fear and lack – which engender conflicted purpose, must mask over as a mind ‘control’.

“And WHO told you you were naked?”

The term immunity is not IN the body but as the resonant integrity of aligned and unified purpose.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men can never build back Humpty again.
Wholeness is innate to awareness of being – or Given in our Creation – as the unselfconscious joy of a life that gives and receives as one.

The Script playing out as a world, is reiterating its hidden foundation:
What the world is to you, is determined by what you give it.
This truth is hidden by the wish to hide our fear – and its cause OUT and away from a masked over sense of control that never ceases to demand sacrifice, and can never BE made safe or truly satisfied.

Vengeance, born of grievance and given allegiance, is a false god, by which we are delivered unto evils, by our own determined conviction.

The grace of the willingness to question our own thinking is the stirring of the capacity to recognise truths that had been discarded, denied and masked over – as if to overcome or escape.

At first we may seek to use insight to persist the old mindset of control, but the self-betrayal of such dishonesty uncovers terrible guilt at the heart of our sense of self. This must not be allowed to tell you who and what you are! The answer to any disintegrity is to release it to an underlying and innate integrity – and not to deliver your will to the mask of its substitution and replacement as hate made ‘righteous’ and fully justified. That counts as your choice, and as your choose in your heart, so is it given for you to have your experience.

It is not hard to see the call to hate and fear, and is very different to seek and find the call to (love’s) honesty. We have to consciously WANT (love’s) awareness, over defaulting to an ancient hate, that runs a protection racket by which to protect the blind face set as mind ‘control’.

what an absolute cunt you are

Sounds like a load of pseudo-religious bollocks to me.

English please

There is a transnational agenda that operates the Trojan ploy.
So your two words will be invoked as the justification to persecute and deny those who do not yield to the knee by compliance to its dictate.
And children will be turned against their parents.
Deceits go forth to multiply and return with interest.
Garbage in; garbage out.

Ooh, are you American? “Garbage in, garbage out” is American English. If you are, it explains a lot. I’m American (/British) by the way.

Troll.

Hmm, the last sentence is apt

Hard to say exactly, but Johnson and his band of loonies must be streets ahead.

All false flag shite probably the last real one was Brighton because it was killing them, amazing how the wrag heads have self isolated this year.

I just read – unverified, as it was published in Metro – that, under the reintroduced Tier System, the UK will be out an eye-watering £900,000, 000 a DAY If true, not only will the Johnson Junta be committing regular, everyday acts of terrorism, but the grandest of Grand Larceny, as well.

Read the DM headline. I cannot be the only who is unable to understand the rationale for lockdowns and continuing lockdowns. Sage tells lies.

In my opinion not only has this government destroyed the economy but also society. an appaling state of affairs.

Good luck to all of you who go to the demo today, I will be there in spirit but alas not body.

I look forward to hearing about it tomorrow but no doubt it will Not be covered by the beeb.

Oh no, it will be covered. I can already see the title: “Far right conspiracy theorists put public safety at risk, protesting against 5G”. Or “Covidiots assemble against regulations, risking increased strain on the NHS”. The BBC won’t miss such an opportunity to kiss some government behind.

It has destroyed the economy, society, cultural life and the mental health of the populace, and I honestly don’t see how any of what it’s destroyed can be rebuilt. The economy is going to be permanently weakened. Social divisions are going to be permanently wider and angrier. Cultural life as we knew it is over. And what would once have been called a neurotic overreaction in the individual mind has become normalized as prudent and laudable. The Overton Window of mental health has been dismantled and rebuilt somewhere far away in the purple, unicorn-infested fields of La La Land. The politicians, professional and amateur (i.e. the medical officers) alike, have done more damage to the country than the Luftwaffe, and far more than the Great Plague.

Well said. I’ve always thought that Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler must be laughing in the after life as our own government have managed to do what they failed to – destroy Britain. And what our government is doing is far worse than what the two World Wars did, this is total annihilation.

We will be paying for this not only for years but even decades perhaps even centuries to come.

We are well and truly screwed.

The govt has spent 0.4 Trillion pounds so far on this…for literally zero benefit….unless you count paying people to not go to work until such time as those jobs no longer exist.

This is economic genocide on a monumental scale….when you think of the incredible things that could have been done for that money…take your pick.

And the arse bandit tories have the cheek to criticise other parties for profligacy.

To (mis) quote Churchill…..never has so much money been spent by so few for so little (ie zero) benefit.

There’s never any shortage of money when it’s about controlling you. Look at the killing nonsense of ‘smart’ motorways, designed to harvest tax and fines and soon, with 5G and chipping, to track you everywhere and check you don’t have anyone in your car who ‘computer says’ shouldn’t be there. And to make sure you don’t stray out of your tier, of course.

Yes there is no budget constraint at all for certain things. Utterly disgusting really.

And what would once have been called a neurotic overreaction in the individual mind has become normalized as prudent and laudable.
Brilliant sentence – going onto my file of excellent quotes. So true.
I, like a lot of people, have a few phobias, some of them totally irrational, some out of proportion to the threat. But I DO NOT expect people to pander to them – I manage them!

I’m still allergic to extended exposure to cats, SAGEs solution would be to slaughter all the cats in the land.
I prefer to manage the situation by avoiding extended exposure to cats or ‘shield’ from them to be modern.

Or by ITV,Channel 4,5 or Sky.

I believe past protests were steamed on RT website – how ironic! Not sure if today’s march for freedom will be.
I wish all those going today a peaceful and safe march. Unfortunately i think the police will be there in significant numbers and make arrests to make a point.

It is truly disgusting that the supposedly Russian-backed RT is more honest and reliable than the BBC.

No kidding. I’ve been quite surprised to see some good balanced debates on RT about all kinds of things. Something you rarely get any more in the western media. Bizarre times we live in!

RT is actually very good the BBC is British state run

Nothing disgusting about that, it’s simply fact.

Definitely a fact, and has been for some time. Al Jazeera, RT, Ruptly, and a number of others; all better by a long way than the MSM of any flavour and the BBC in particular.

Just reading Heneghan about seasonal respiratory infection (see attached graph). We all know there’s no flu this year and there was no covid last winter.

Everyone who was diagnosed with flu last winter – did they actually test them for influenza virus or did they just assume on the basis of symptoms? Is it not possible that many or even most actually had a coronavirus? And that regular seasonal coronaviridae are now showing up as “covid” in testing?

Influenza is a complex of viruses that usually will have at least one coronavirus present. So it is very likely that if you test for covid you will get false positives from influenza. Not to mention that the symptoms for covid are identical, so if they don’t do the test and they have a patient with fever and coughing, what do you think the diagnostic is going to be?

Thank you. The graph above shows that the overall number of flu-like respiratory illnesses is considerably lower than this time last year. It also shows that the seasonal drop in spring continued EVEN INCLUDING the supposedly bone-shreddingly terrifying “first wave”.

Covid is not a hoax. It does exist. It just isn’t a thing.

Important we get this right. Influenza is a specific virus type not a collection of various types. Influenza like illness (ILI) is a term used to describe illness presenting with similar symptoms. ILI can and often does include multiple infection pathogens when the patient or deceased is tested. We do not routinely test for ILI but do make assumptions from reports and analysis to calculate likely vaccine success rates and overall mortality etc. We now have a situation where C19 is being increasingly used to cover all bases and suggesting that other respiratory pathogens are not present or not relevant.The data has been mis managed and abused for political means since March.

Fair enough. Thanks.

Covid-19 appears to be little more than very expensively repackaged influenza. Very strange indeed, that influenza has suddenly felt the sudden urge to take a sabbatical.

SARS-cov2 is about twice as transmissible as influenza. It should not be surprising that restrictions to control the spread of one virus are more effective on a less transmissible one. That’s been noted first in the Southern Hemisphere and then the north. There will likely be a small surge in flu after Christmas (peak is normally second week) due to the holiday season.

No you won’t. There are FDA and EMA approved tests that will give you a read for influenza or Covid. Symptoms may present similar, but testing will not. PCR testing was not invented in 2020.

I’ve had flu twice and the symptoms are very different to the mild symptoms most people get from Covid.

I don’t know how many but there have been reports of people dying of ‘flu’ before Covid was supposed to have arrived in Europe being found to have Covid when later autopsied.
The purpose was to explore the timeline rather than the extent of early contagion.

Yes NN. They often assume (quite fairly), particularly in the elderly.

It is – under normal circumstances (which RIP) – indeed perfectly fair. It would be absurd to test everyone presenting with an upper respiratory tract infection.

Among those Pakistani cricketers who tested positive in NZ yesterday, two were said to be “probably historic cases”. This interests me. Does this mean that they reported having had some sort of sniffle a few weeks/months ago and the assumption is that that was covid? This would mean that the PCR test is – as everyone except the people who matter knows – picking up dead virus remnants?

dear all WRITE TO EVERY MP TO VOTE AGAINST THESE COViD MEASUREs

tell them it is ruining your lives – businesses – jobs

My MP doesn’t care, as long as she is getting paid for doing F. A. and her pension is guaranteed she will not be rocking any boat.

A link to the attached was posted here 2 days ago.
It is hosted on the World Economic Forum YouTube channel which claims 547,000 subscribers (up 1k in two days) yet it has had only a minuscule 1.7k views which is pathetic.
10% of those viewers downvote the video.

If things are quiet do take a look at the comments, the WEF Media Team will not be happy .

Normalising China’s Health Credit has begun.

Yesterday Jeremy Vine was exploring why China, with a claimed only 5,000 covid deaths, was ’20 times more successful at dealing with Covid’ than the UK.

The BBC China correspondent Christopher ? explained how things rapidly went back to near normal in China generally and Wuhan in particular with glowing descriptions of bustling streets and mass pool parties.

He largely put this down to China’s Health App which can narrow down Covid hot spots to very precise locations and be used to implement highly localised lockdown measures* although he did concede these local lockdowns could be draconian he was all in favour.

A young man who was clearly familiar with the negative aspects of the Credit Health App was allowed to put over a few points but was somewhat inarticulate.

*How very topical to the very day, see todays first item by Will Jones.

The UK Gov’t wants this inhumane Orwellian dystopia too. No autonomy. No privacy. Just constant state surveillance. China is pushing this technology on the rest of the world

It’s worse than any virus and has nothing to do with health and everything to do with control

Does anyone actually believe the figures put out byn China?
I don’t.

The China correspondent covered this by saying it doesn’t matter if the figures were out by a factor if 100, what mattered was the shape of the curve which appears to show that they got on top of the problem very quickly.

That would be the same shaped curve as we had, then…..

Dunno, it was on the Radio.

Apparently the magic jab produces ‘intense’ side effects.
That’s on healthy volunteers.
What are those ”intense’ effects going to do to frail over-eighties?
Well, we’ll soon find out, because the victims won’t be given any choices.

The grim inevitable conclusion to all of these mad experiments.

This Government did promise it would have a final solution to the problem of elderly adult social care it is just that nobody thought it would be this sort of ‘final solution’!

Final Solution? That rings a bell.

They are going to start vaccinations in december in bristol where army are setting up a mega-vaxx centre at football club. Aim to vaxx 100k victims a week!
This is now starting to get real and the propoganda to get vaxx is going to be off the scale.
I shall decline but i can see a point where to travel or such like this will be required and will be forced to have it.
Worrying times my friends, as we proceed into a jab, tag and gag society!

Note from the 77th Brigade. This “Sue” person (clearly a pseudonym for a person threatening the NWO by trying to take action through the courts) said “ …victims a week “. Find her and punish her for telling the truth!

P.S. Only joking, love you really.

Sue, it’s called unity.

Tptb will pretend we are the minority so more folk will allow themselves to be jagged.

If everyone who was against such measures united then it would show anyone who was unsure that there are other schools of thought.

Civil war in the west is coming unfortunately. Gotta see there is another side. Get on board and start preparing.

I doubt whether Army personnel are legally qualified to perform such actions. Someone look into it. Maybe Dr. Vernon Coleman could tell us.

I accept that there is something very dangerous spreading through the land.

The rate of spread is increasing

However, over 99% of people survive it

So dangerous the full security apparatus of the state, including the BBC, the police, the security services, and GCHQ must be deployed against it

So dangerous that it’s an immediate £10,000 fine for anyone who organises an event where it could be spread

Oh sorry!!! I’m talking about the truth, what are you talking about?

Unfortunately it is making slow progress, as the quote in this newsletter says, people go mad in herds, they recover their senses slowly one by one.
I was browsing pandemics on the web;
Black Death/Great Plague; various comments indicating it caused upto 50% population reduction
Spanish flu, again various reports of it causing between 1-5% fall in population
Coronavirus 2020 England/Wales the registration of births was suspended for part of 2020 so we do not have complete figures but based on historic birth figures we look on target for a population increase of 20,000 – 30,000 that gives an increase of around 0.05%.
And so all this hoo-haa over a virus that despite all it could throw at us has seen an increase in the total population, unprecedented virus Mr Hancock? more like unprecedented nonsense.

Appears the lockdown is successful in slowing the spread of the truth, no wonder they are so keen on it

I had to read the Cecil B comment twice before I realised that he was referring ironically to the truth, not the scam.

I must wash my brain a bit more, I was clearing close to believing the crap that the government puts out. It must have been an infection from listening to the BBC news this morning.

That article about madness (where that quote is from) was fantastic. I loved it at the time, but truly didn’t comprehend just how slowly that “waking up” actually happens.

I was horrified to hear someone claim (possibly with as much veracity as other “climate-change” bollocks) that Genghis Khan killed so many people that the temperature of the planet was altered.

Somehow, I don’t think there’s much chance of the coronavirus disease coming close to causing this sort of mayhem, but on the other hand, the coronabollocks response to the problem almost certainly will!

“ someone claim (possibly with as much veracity as other “climate-change” bollocks) that Genghis Khan killed so many people that the temperature of the planet was altered “

Remarkable just how fantastically distorted some people’s basic sense of proportion is, on certain issues. Only ideology and indoctrination can achieve that kind of warping of perception of reality on a wide scale.

Genghis Khan fathered so many children (mostly through rapes) that he is the direct ancestor of 10% or so Asians today.

So one in ten of the curries I have eaten was prepared and served by a relative of late great Genghis?

Covid – So dangerous that we have to be tested to see if we have it or not. So deadly that if we test positive for it and we’re asymptomatic we need to stay home for two weeks

It is the truth that the Government’s afraid of

Which is no doubt why Simon Dolan’s appeal hasn’t been resolved yet. I suspect that one judge may be showing a faint gleam of integrity and the Fascist Junta is busy bullying it out of him.

Well yes, Boris is likely offering the judges a very small share of the conscience money, he got from Bill Gates.

Nice. Your name vill join “Sue” on ze list! Vot is it?

Don’t tell him your name Pike!!

The response from the NHS concerning that poor lady who lost her sight is a neat summation of how unbelievably callous and cruel the post-Covid healthcare establishment has now become, under the direction of a government so blind to the mountains of human suffering it continues to cause that the word “genocidal” wouldn’t look out of place when applied to them.

This is a lady who will never be able to see the faces of her friends or grandchildren ever again, never be able to watch the sun rise or set. The fact that the “apology” she received was tantamount to a half-hearted flash of contrition accompanied with an “oh well, that’s life” is truly, truly disgusting.

I wonder if this would have happened to the mother of an MP or an NHS executive?

The mothers of MPs and NHS executives would go private.
If my mum were still alive her annual eye checkup would now be 6 or 7 months overdue leading not only to possible eyesight deterioration but worry and anxiety as well.

My mother died peacefully in her sleep in March this year. I never thought I would say this, Karenovirus, but I now feel that she really dodged a bullet of utter misery.

Proof, if any were needed that the Rapists Dad is a heartless spiteful twat

A sordid little wrinkle-necked tortoise aspiring to be Stalin, and not far from succeeding.

Well, yeah, sure, she’s gone blind, but she hasn’t caught covid.

“Catching covid” is the new “being possessed by the Devil” from the witch crazes. “Death from covid” is the new “being dragged down to hell by demons”.

This is the story that has caused me the most sadness this morning. Back in April people were warning that their regular appointments for macular degeneration treatments were being cancelled and they were frightened for the consequences. Now we are seeing those consequences.
It was all so obviously going to happen.
Go blind or risk having / spreading a disease that 99.7% of people recover from. We wouldn’t even be talking about this in a bad flu year with a higher IFR. The government has lost its marbles and it’s terrifying.

Yes me too, but the, it’s sad but we must all make sacrifices type bs is what gets me. Excuse me person on full pay, a guaranteed pension, a pay rise this year, can you tell me exactly the sacrifices you have made? How about we stop your pay till you start providing the service you are paid for. You know protecting us!!

Anyone who thinks they can depend on the NHS to get healthcare is living in dreamland

Having worked in the NHS I can confirm that any apologies about mistakes or shortcomings are nearly always shallow and dismissive.
I expect similar comments will be made to people who experience debilitating side effects from the inadequately tested and rushed through Covid vaccine.

They’ve probably already got them written out.

“ For struggling businesses this will probably mean their credit lines will be pulled from under them, and they will go out of business.”

Don’t understand this argument. Deferred tax liabilities *are* a credit line. If you have no more credit left then you *are* bust and should fold – releasing your resources for superior operations to use.

The narrative is completely confused. On one hand there are complaints about zombie businesses being propped up by low interest rates, and then on the other hand they want to give banks preference over assets.

Businesses come and go. They should always be treated like cattle, not pets.

I take it you don’t run a business.

It’s really not that simple. The credit lines are a life support right now for what were previously successful businesses. The past 8 months have not been a free market. Therefore, I don’t think the same free market principles apply.

Exactly.

The Government cancelled the free market and should pick up the bill, yes I know that means sharing it out among us through taxes.

Put all the government members on welfare.

There’s a difference between a business which stays alive owing to extraordinarily low interest rates, and one which is struggling to stay alive because it is not allowed to trade .

I read that article as saying that because HMRC were about to exert a primary claim on a business’s debts, then other creditors, in order to avoid increasing their risk level, will be obliged to wind down their exposure to that business accordingly, thus in many cases tipping the business over the edge. Thus many businesses, which, in usual times would be entirely viable, risk being forced to close – with all the misery and economic damage that entails.

This seems to me to be a very important matter.

But if I haven’t understood it correctly I’m quite happy for someone to explain it to me. (I don’t run a business btw.)

True- but if a business goes because it is not permitted to conduct business (while others are exempt), that is not the market picking winners and losers, it is the government, and that is a big problem.

The government is intentionally not allowing a Force Majeure clause that would appear in any standard contract. In this case taxes would be waived as it was the government’s actions that caused the harm. If people had stopped using the business naturally as a reaction to the alleged pandemic and the government had not intervened then there’s no case.

What’s happened here is the governmenr is saying well we gave you aid so pay up. Problem is the aid was pennies and they are asking for pounds.

There’s another word for that: extortion.

Government, make that Global, extortion racket.

Everything you say would be fair enough for normal times. However. many previously viable businesses have just been told to shut their doors for months on end. It really isn’t t a level playing field if a local one man gift shop has many of the ongoing costs of running a business such as rent but is, by law, prevented from earning any income, whereas massive online retailers continue to be allowed to thrive.
BTW I do not run a shop.

That’s exactly the point. The government should be, and remain, last in the queue. They produce nothing, leech off everyone, and give nothing back that could not be bought better and more cheaply from private suppliers.

Contrast the state police and private security in South Africa. When the private security turn up to an alarm call, householders are relieved. When the SA state police turn up, people feel the same as when the British police turn up at a peaceful protest march…

You also believe in the Magic Money Tree so no surprise there.

Let me explain in simple terms. Company has assets of 300k and debts of 400k, of which, 250k is to HMRC, 30k to suppliers and 120k to bank. Under old rules, if company goes bust, everyone, including HMRC takes a haircut. Bank still gets 90k back.

Under new rules, HMRC gets 250k, leaving 50k to the bank (2nd level security) and nothing to suppliers.

Yes, HMRC have been reluctant to make companies insolvent and would always try to negotoate a time to pay arrangement as the tax debt would be last in the queue for any payments from the insolvency. Now HMRC will get the tax debt repaid (assuming there are assets) and the supply chain will get nothing putting more pressure on the suppliers. If this filters down to bankruptcy there will be many self employed on very shaky ground. Destroying small and medium businesses as well as the self employed.

Businesses are not normally deliberately and systematically destroyed on a global scale under the guise of public health as we’re seeing now – to facilitate a Great Reset. This is a plunder and the billionaire vultures are having a feeding frenzy

Since you have argued here for the free use of the magic money forest, shouldn’t the government just declare a national “tax holiday” for the duration of the “emergency”?

Would have no cost, according to your theory, and most of the losses are being caused by government action.

Now is the winter,spring,summer and autumn (repeat) of our discontent.
With apologies to William Shakespeare.

The “substantial meal” thing reminds me of a practice in Elizabethan brothels – they got around some civil or church law or regulation designed to outlaw bawdy houses by putting out some kind of snack, which made them into a sort of inn. I believe the practice is alluded to in Measure For Measure .

Just as the turdgeon discovered that some people had bought tickets to fly from Glasgow to London at knockdown prices and then got pissed up in the airport bar without flying anywhere so it should be possible to order a ‘substantial’ meal, drink as much as you want without getting around to actually eating it.

I saw one pub advertsising such a move but inspector Knacker doesn’t like to have his brief authority undermined so I suspect most pubs will avoid risking their license. It seems most tier two pubs are staying shut because it just isn’t worth it. I hate what this country has become.

I believe that’s now called the Irish Holiday

Thank you, mhcp. I have stolen that for use later.

I quite liked this.

Doesn’t work though. A cafe bar near us tried a substantial meal deal when we were pushed into previous tier 3. One menu item and 6 drinks for £35. They got a visit from the covid wombles and were ordered to desist.

Fuck these covid wombles right off…what utter scum they are.

Is there any loophole involving BYOB?

I’ve had a quick look at my Complete Works of Shakespeare. Maybe it’s this bit in Act III Scene 2: “Yes, in good sooth, the vice is of a great kindred; it is well allied; but it is impossible to extirp it quite, friar, till eating and drinking be put down”.

Ain’t it ironic everyone in Tier 3 areas are livid. Here on LS we were livid back in April that we were in lockdown at all. Yet we were in a small minority as the polls supported lockdown by around 85% or higher. Sceptics were “selfish” or “granny killers” and subject to abuse. What a shame they all weren’t fuming 8 months ago because we may not now be in this mess.

Hear, hear. But, as has been suggested, all those calling for lockdowns at the start (as long as it didn’t affect them) will now claim they were against them all along.

“Everyone was in the French Resistance”

Whereas in truth much of what considers itself the ‘responsible’ element of society, from the BBC down, was in the current equivalent of the milice. At least in France a few of the minor collaborators got payback. And Pierre Laval even got the chop. For these people, unfortunately, collaboration seems to have been a one way bet. Even the police who commit domestic terrorism today need not fear a moment for their pensions.

Most French police implemented the German occupation – the round-up of Jews for example was mostly a French police affair in France. After D-Day French police offices mostly turned documents detailing their cooperation with the Germans into bonfires, while German troops were leaving. Since De Gaulle needed the police he did not investigate them. For the most part targets of vengeance were “safe” targets – women who had slept with German soldiers etc.

Except the collaborators.

Isn’t it ironic that this is Lockdown 3? By the cock’s crow you will have betrayed me three times.

Much like those people in France and Holland after WW2 who claimed to be in the Resistance when it was nothing of the sort.

If just, say, 20% of zombies had refused to wear muzzles then we wouldn’t be in this mess now.

Exactly! And if 20% refused now, this would be over very fast.

Dear First
We must write to EVERY MP and tell them you damaging these lockdowns are to your life – you jobs – you businesses and health.

Ask them why is is good for Amazon to thrive while local shops go bust.
Ask them why is it good for Starbuck to thrive with takeaway while local pubs go bust.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but there was a great caller on talkRADIO yesterday who read out the definition of both ‘Substantial’ and ‘Meal’ from the Oxford English Dictionary. From the definitions, he quite reasonably suggested that pork scratchings could be considered both.

It is a law that will never stand up in Court as Substantial is entirely subjective.

And the rationale behind it is predicated on the PCR test which is not fit for purpose. Could Tim Martin take the government to court I wonder?

I wish he would. I would support any kind of hospitality class action against the government.

I expect he would prefer that we all bought substantial meals from his pubs though, to be fair, he has come out full on sceptic in this months Weatherspoons News.

I’m inclined to agree. As a middle aged woman concerned about weight gain, 400 calories is a substantial meal. A glass of wine could be 200 and the other 200 a bag of pork scratchings.

If you drink your bread isn’t that substantial? Sure feels that way after I’ve had one too many.

You could always say you are doing slim fast and the bottle of pink stuff on your table is your dinner!

Good to know

I’m pretty sure this would qualify – just need to add it to the menu

We can’t let the NHS get overwhelmed. It’s the favourite argument of those who want more restrictions and more lockdown. It’s currently top story on the BBC News website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55112078

But they never seem to think through the logic of this flimsy argument. If the NHS was to get overwhelmed, what would happen? Well I guess treatments would get cancelled and healthcare restricted for non covid patients. But this is EXACTLY what has happened for 9 months. The very thing these lockdown zealots want to avoid is actually happening for much, much longer than if we had no interventions at all.

Morons.

Good morning all!

Exactly.

And with all the talk of Cost Benefit Analysis, I wonder if anyone has calculated the difference between the cash spaffed this year and what it would have cost to have increased capacity at every single hospital in the country.

Furthermore, we don’t seem to hear much about the Nightingale Hospitals – have they been mothballed? Surely if there is going to be this explosion in COVID cases, they are available to cater for such an explosion.

My local Nightingale is reported to be taking in its first Covid patients, just in time to cross infect the cancer patients who have been sent there to try and reduce the backlog in Oncology

It is legally questionable whether they should be using the Public Health Act to address managerial failures with the NHS. We have had bad flu years before but we never invoked the Public Health act to restrict the Public and protect the NHS. The Public Health act is there to protect the health of the public not to bail out failed politicians and NHS managers.

I don’t have the legal knowledge but does the Public Health Act actually permit the locking down of a whole Society in this way? I cannot see that any risk to health right now is so great to allow this (the evidence is now very clear from all the stats). Similarly what about the Human Rights Act 1998, where is the proportionate risk now to override this?

I think that is part of the argument in the Simon Dolan legal challenge and is is also a point made by Lord Sumption. If Simon Dolan with all his money and Lord Sumption with all his legal knowledge are struggling to challenge all this there is little hope for the rest of us. I have spoken to Toby & Will who run this site about the legal side of all this and they have spoken to a lawyer but the conclusion is that the Simon Dolan case has put forward sound legal arguments and challenges and that really all we can do is to wait for a judgement, it is taking a long time.

I think we all need to point our MPs to the fact that all the lockdown SIs written under the Public Health act have an opening justification;

These Regulations are made in response to the serious and imminent threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in England.

The Secretary of State considers that the requirements imposed by these Regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to the threat.



I think we need to ask each MP to consider very carefully as to whether that wording is now justified and whether they can vote for the next lot of lockdown regs.

It’s simple, the Secretary of State was lying then and he’s never stopped lying since. That description fits with many more members of this deeply corrupt government.

If it’s such a threat then the govt need to explain why it was taken off the HCID list before the first lockdown.

Protect the NHS = Protect the NHS from patients

We should die at home and do the NHS a favour.

They’ve ignored the sick since March. Only Covid patients are being treated except for elderly Covid patients who are put on the DNR list. There are tens of thousands of people awaiting treatment so at some point the NHS will become increasingly busier, it’s not rocket science. This government should meet a firing squad.

Impeccable logic or, as the BBC would put it, detestable logic.

Dear Dr Whitford,

I implore you to read, and consider carefully, the conclusions and recommendations to be found in the attached briefing document, written by a team of respected experts.

The sheer damage now being inflicted on our economic, social and personal lives continues unabated, as the obsession with stopping the spread continues .

Here in South Ayrshire, many of our small businesses have been obliged to close, yet again, while the rules imposed become ever more restrictive and invasive ,seemingly without any coherent foundation.

No society can hope to maintain essential civic norms and social ,economic and personal well being when so many hitherto valued civil liberties are so drastically constrained, apparently with no end in sight.

Plastic waste which cannot be recycled is steadily increasing, so how will this fit with Zero Waste Scotland’s objectives?

Dental practices are still under severe pressure, as they cope with increased costs, reduced treatment sessions and rising waiting lists.

Unemployment continues to take its toll: I know of one couple, both self employed and ,until March, successful and secure, now obliged to claim Universal Credit.

Masks now inhibit normal human social discourse, with expressions impossible to read and speech frequently muffled, this causing anxiety and reluctance to engage.

Impoverishment , indebtedness ,loss of hope and future prospects and suppression of informed dissent are skewing our society.

Please answer my letter.

Yours sincerely,

Will I get a reply this time?

The briefing document for MPs published in yesterday’s post awaits a response.

Imagine if the UK Government had done a Belarus

If it had defied the orders of the organised entity that’s demanding every country locks down and said ‘NO’ to lockdowns, face masks, restrictions, vaccines

Life would be carrying on as normal. The economy would be healthy

No cancelled medical treatments. No lockdown suicides. Instead people looking forward to Christmas. Busy pubs and bustling town centres. It could have been so different

There would be hope for the future

The Path Not Taken.

If only we’d had the kind of “Churchillian” leader able and willing to defy the doomsters and panic-mongers.

I bet Thatcher would’ve done this.

Not clear if you mean she would have “done this” in the sense of the coronapanic or”done this” in the sense of what I said a Churchillian leader would have done.

We’ll never know, but as someone who supported her government at the time because of the disastrous stupidity of the 1970s, but who is nevertheless no uncritical Thatcher-worshipper, I think she’d have told the advisers telling her to panic not to talk such nonsense, and replaced them forthwith. And she wouldn’t have caved to the lefty panickers squealing about “putting money ahead of lives” and “herd immunity is eugenics”, as Corbyn and the Labour Party were doing in March.

I am also not uncritical about Mrs Thatcher but I think Mark is on the money here. She had a background in Chemistry and would not have been so in awe of ‘the science’ as the stupid oaf Johnson and the other morons in the Cabinet are.

Some one I now has died due to withdrawal of normal health care.
His wife is Philippine like my wife . I new his children as they grew up often buying them xmas presents .
If you ring your GP you will get an answer message. It says if you have any of the symptoms of Covid do not go to your GP do not go to Hospital stay at home and self isolate. That you can go to a website to check your symptoms you can ring 101 for advice.

Do not go to your GP do not go to Hospital stay at home and self isolate. This is like saying stay at home and die. He followed the advice when he got flu like symptoms.
Normally he would have seen his GP. But you can not get GP appointments I have tried for my wife. If you are lucky you will get a phone appointment but they no longer seem available. Instead you can go online and fill a questionnaire. You will get a email reply with a prescription to pick up from the chemist.
Instead of going to his GP he stayed at home and got sicker until he collapsed and was rushed to hospital with pneumonia. As his wife works in the hospital they tried hard to save his life in vain.
No doubt his death will be recorded as another covid death

Another NHS murder.
The NHS needs protecting all right. From criminal proceedings.
There will be a reckoning and they will not escape.

Maybe it could mean the end of public health care… Maybe a silver lining?

What I’m more worried about is that it could mean the start of public health care here in the US. That’s about how well we learn our lessons, it seems. Just double down on all of history’s biggest failures!

The item yesterday about West Midlands police and facemasks has set me checking up. The headline was that West Midlands police issue a fine re lack of a facemask, when in fact they have simply issued a fixed penalty notice. This gives you the option of accepting and paying the penalty stated or opting to put your alleged offence forward for consideration of being summonsed. If you take the latter option the CPS than have to consider taking court proceedings.
I suspect most people feel sufficiently intimidated by such a confrontation that they just pay up to get it over and done. Or they ignore it and do not pay the fine, which is probably the worst thing you can do as the costs can rack up. Or they can, within 21 days, notify the authorities that they are not taking the option of the penalty and wish to be considered for a court summons.
Do we know if anyone has had a facemask or lockdown Fixed Penalty Notice issued and then taken the option of opting for a court summons? If so did anything happen? A lot of the legal stuff around lockdowns and facemasks is dubious and needs challenging but I guess nobody wants to be the test case.

‘Law Or Fiction’ on Twitter aim to make things clearer. Some people have health problems (despite face masks being dangerous anyway) that exempt them. I wonder if the police broke the law or if they are receiving orders from above to intimidate those who have exemptions

I’m sure there are criminals out there who need catching

Over 1500 comments on wmp Twitter, 99% of them against what happened and can see the truth.

and notice that the first dozen or so were all supportive of the police . and then they were all critical. it is as if they ran out of shill accounts providing support. Friday evening – maybe 77th had gone home

In that situation do you have to give them your name?

No you don’t, unless the filth arrest you. Fixed penalties have no such backing, and YOU MUST NEVER, EVER SIGN A FIXED PENALTY OR SPEEDING TICKET.

Because if you sign it, you’re agreeing that it is valid? Is that it?

And if they arrest you, do you get taken to the police station? Either way, can you then make a complaint and/or sue for wrongful arrest?

If you look at a speeding “ticket”, you will see that it is entitled the same as a confession:- “Statement of Witness”. If you sign it, you are agreeing that it is an accurate statement of the events. NEVER SIGN A TICKET. They even have a note by the signature line saying “Request” They even acknowledge it on the form. The bastards. You can’t get out of being prosecuted if you actually were speeding, it doesn’t work like that; but if there is an error in the speeding ticket or the offence, it helps your case if you don’t acknowledge the ticket. You can’t “refuse to consent to the law”, you are refusing to acknowledge the accuracy of the allegation.

They can only arrest you for an arrestable offence, and that would only be likely to apply if you refused to give your details. You are only obliged to give your details if you are actually being reported for an offence or are the driver (not passenger) in a vehicle. The second that they arrest you, that’s it. If the arrest was unlawful, they have committed an unlawful arrest and can be sued for it. They cannot get out of that by pretending to “de-arrest” you (although they will try). Any unlawful arrest is also the following (automatically); assault and battery. There may also be other offences depending on the circumstances.

You can make a complaint for any reasonable tort (wrong-doing). You should ALWAYS make a complaint if the police do anything wrong, and ALWAYS sue them if you have been unlawfully arrested. On current form, it’s good for three grand in your pocket, and a good legal kicking for the wicked officers who did it.

Finally, NEVER SHOW ANY ID. The filth are entitled to your details under certain circumstances, but they are not entitled to proof of those details, unless you are the driver of a vehicle that an officer (IN UNIFORM) has actually stopped.

The favourite lie/trick/con is to search you unlawfully and try to get your ID from a debit card, but if they do that, then you can add “unlawful search” to your list of complaints. Should be good for bumping up the compo.

So leave your wallet/purse/cards at home if you are attending a demo. Only have cash on you.

Excellent . All copied and pasted for future reference.

Many thanks.

Excellent . All copied and pasted for future reference.

Many thanks.

My limited understanding of the law is that for civil law matters like the Public Health Act you are legally obliged to provide the details needed for them to be able to issue a summons. If you refuse to give the legally required details you can be arrested but I am not sure of the legal basis for that. I think it is the same details for a summons as for a Fixed Penalty Notice.
I think if I was given a Fixed Penalty Notice for a facemask issue I would send it back and request a Court Case, the law on this issue is so poor and the court system so busy I think there is a good chance it would get dropped.

Thanks for this information.

Hopefully they will contest and opt for a court summons – guidelines are clear, they claimed to be exempt ito the guidelines, video they were calm and acted within their rights.

WM response https://twitter.com/WMPolice/status/1332398456577650703

I don’t get it. Are they twisting words to say that she didn’t say “I’m exempt” but instead said “Look at what I’ve printed off the internet?”

Is it any wonder that respectable people have started referring to the police as the “filth”?

I must admit I have now…rather sad really but they have driven me to it with their masks and thuggery.

I thought that this incident was some kind of set-up and posted accordingly. I’m still not convinced by it. However, judging by these links to the ‘WM’s finest’ Twatter feed, it appears that these police really may have tried to or actually did issue a FPN to a woman with an exemption card.

Nothing rings true about it, including the woman not actually knowing the ‘rules’ and trying to maintain she was waiting for an ‘official’ certificate, which we know is nonsense. Neither does the woman PC banging on about ‘burden of proof’ make sense but she may have been bull-shitting.

What it suggests is that WM Police may be following orders from higher up the cops’ food chain i.e. harassing/shaming members of the public for not wearing masks as per Dame Dick’s pronouncement in July. They seem to be making the same kind of fools of themselves as did the Derbyshire force back in March when they drone-videoed people walking on Stanage Edge and posted it on social media.

The Twatter comments are generally good but I notice there’s a smattering of people claiming they wear masks to avoid hassle or that they are frightened to go shopping because of this kind of thing. There’s scope for education here if we are able to reassure people that this kind of incident is rare, that people do not generally get hassled by anyone and that, if the worst happens and some over-zealous, misinformed cop gives you a FPN, don’t sign it and let it go to court where it is bound to get thrown out if you had told the cops you were exempt at the time (no proof needed).

People have suggested printing off the Govt guidelines about exemptions and I think this is good advice. We carry the Government card and a copy of the guidelines with us just in case. If you feel more confident wearing a lanyard or a badge I think this is way better than giving in and wearing a muzzle or avoiding going into shops. MW

It is still puzzling to people that exemptions exist , the whole thing could, in theory cancel itself out, that is, if common sense prevailed, sadly lacking nowadays..

It will be of little consolation to those on this site and across the country whose lives and livelihoods have been damaged or destroyed by this government; but governments never survive these debacles.

Attlee’s bungling of Marshall plan aid, rationing still in place in 1951, did for his government. Eden did not survive the Suez crisis. Heath’s incompetence regarding the energy crisis ensured his demise. The 1976 IMF crisis finished the careers of both Wilson and Callaghan. In 1992, the ERM ‘Black Wednesday’ ensured that the Major government ushered the Conservative party into a long electoral winter. Iraq finished Blair and the 2008 financial crisis finished Brown. Cameron did not survive his mishandling of the eu referendum. Anyone spot the theme? Clue: they just haven’t really been much good, have they?

As night follows day, Johnson and so many of his MPs are now royally stuffed…..

They could do something about it……..but, with the complete lack of brio of all the democratic socialist governments since the Second World War (bar one), they will not…….

Now which ‘one’ are you thinking about?
but, with the complete lack of brio of all the democratic socialist governments since the Second World War (bar one),


surely not the WMD dodgy dossier BLIAR one?

The theme for me is that governments don’t answer to the people and the parties are two cheeks of the same arse.

We were always going to Iraq, we were always bailing the banks out, Brexit was a complete surprise and they have done everything to subvert it since, we were always going into lockdown.

But this situation is global

This is not fake data but from US and CDC. All cause mortality 2014-2020.Look at the picture. This year only 11000,more excess deaths this pandemic year 2020 than the seasonal flu epidemic year 2018. But we still have 260 000 deaths of C-19 2020. The only explanation is reduction of all other causes of death.
Pandemic should have excess deaths substantially according to the previous definition of pandemic. The statistics is in line with a bad flu season. How anyone can compare this with Spanish flu is outrageous. This must be overdiagnosis of C-19 in death certificates.

Presumably the next step is to to calculate the degree of covid over-diagnosis on death certificates, and thus estimate a correct covid death rate, and thus a more realistic IFR.

I guess someone must already be doing this.

IIRC Malcolm Kendrick estimated an IFR of 0.1%, there’s a blog entry on drmalcolmkendrick.org but I can’t remember the exact date.

My guess is that’s where it’s heading.

Kendrick discusses the figures in his blog post of 2020-10-26 , but it seems as though he might have first raised it in an earlier post.

If you look at the article by Genevieve Briand mentioned in the roundup on yesterday’s LS, that is exactly what is happening. In particular heart disease numbers are dramatically down.

… and the retraction is utterly disgraceful. Good write-up on AIER.

https://www.aier.org/article/new-study-highlights-serious-accounting-error-regarding-covid-deaths/

Excellent; I’ve just read it. Ethan Yang is to be congratulated,although I do take issue with this statement :
“She further stresses that although this data challenges the idea that Covid is an unprecedented and lethal disease, we should still be concerned with mitigating death in general.”

Death in general cannot be mitigated; it can be eased and life saving measures can and should,be offered where possible and appropriate, but death cannot be banished; it’s part of being human

Masks? Lifesavers.

Sorry but where do you get 11,000 from?

All cause mortality in the US is up by 280,000 from average according to official CDC figures

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Yes, this was what I couldn’t understand with this study yesterday.

The 11,000 number is the difference in weekly deaths between one peak and the other. Obviously, the increased death rate went n for some time and the totalled difference was greater. The number you quote is one I’ve seen around.

This analysis seems badly worded to me, as discussed yesterday, though it still has important information to convey.

Just refer to the graph CDC has presented with 11000 higher than the previous maximum excess deaths seasonal flu 2018.

Sorry if I am being thing but that’s just for one week – doesn’t seem like a very useful figure to to

In the old definition of pandemic was apart from excess deaths also important the age of the deaths. The flu pandemics earlier ie Spanish flu and Asiatic flu had both. Anybody looking at this graph would agree with you comparing one week is not the whole picture and one can see that C-19 is more severe than the latest seasonal flu. But compare this modest increase in C-19 with Spanish flu which had an enormous excess death and younger persons dying is incomprehensible. C-19 is a geriatric pandemic with median age of death higher than normal lifespan in many countries. The enormous drop in other deaths is just a result of over diagnosing C-19 as cause of death in elderly. The Spanish and Asiatic flu excess death was real and not inflated like in C-19. Many and most deaths of elderly are with C-19 and not of C-19.SK and I think Japan only accept C-19 death as recorded as pneumonia/respiratory deaths. Just applying this would half the deaths of C-19 in the US.

A news story yesterday in the New York Post about a certain national leader who “has been been lashing out with “excessive anger” and taking “irrational measures” in recent weeks as a result of the pandemic”.
And which country is this? UK? France? Germany? Scotland?
All excellent guesses, but this particular story is about North Korea…
I do wonder though where is the New York Post story about the irrational measures in xxxxxxxx – insert the name of the country of your choice!
https://nypost.com/2020/11/27/kim-jong-un-reportedly-executed-2-closed-capital-amid-covid/

NY Post is pretty solidly conservative, I believe. They will publish skeptical pieces.

From the Times’ coronavirus newsletter:

“The MP for Stratford-on-Avon, Nadhim Zahawi, is being lined up to be the government’s new vaccine minister.”

The main qualification for being a minister in this government seems to be to come out with any crap they tell you.

And being Effnick.

Loove it. But sadly too true

He always reminds me of Gollum from LOTR’s.

more like the bastard love child of Gollum and Jabba

He’s a dangerously stupid individual

a perfect fit

I know this is based on American data but given the constant comparison of their death and infection rate with ours I feel it may hold some ground here.

https://www.sott.net/article/444898-Johns-Hopkins-University-Reveals-Manipulated-Covid-Death-Figures

Why can’t everything be lifted?? People are being treated like children! I think the majority could be relied on to be careful, masks and 1m distance etc. The terrible effect on everyone is not acceptable, the lonely, the elderly, the mentally ill, families and children! Not to mention the terrible effect on the economy, jobs, small businesses!!!

Sorry. NO MASKS. They are so dirty, dangerous and dehumanising I’d even be tempted to go so far as to ban them unless you have a personal medical reason to wear one correctly.
Lots of hand washing and reasonable social distance between strangers is all that is required. And clean up those filthy hospitals and prevent cross infection there.

My experience of hospital loos after the last few months has been that they have been unclean and frankly disgusting. Kind of ironic really…
Another thing to get your heads around.my hygienist cant use the powerful water jet to clean my teeth as it might spread the rona but police can use high powered water cannons to disperse protesters ..mmm do you think there is something fishy going on..

Not just the loos. The wards themselves are filthy and they spend a fortune on disposable stuff including bed pans and curtains to avoid having to clean anything.
Regarding water cannon – I don’t think we have them in the UK?

The water cannon was in Germany.the video was shocking . The protesters were shocked and distressed by what occurred . I have seen lots of videos of police brutality but that particular one made me really cry..not yet in the uk?

It’s not about health. The agenda is money and control. The WEF wants to change the world

WTF?? I have read these statements in two different articles in the last 2 days. Anyone know which is true? I have no intention of having the vaccine but i would like to think that what i am warning my friends who are intent on having it is actually correct.

Hausman says the reported 95% efficacy of both mRNA COVID-19 vaccines bodes well for acceptance. “If you know that a vaccine is really effective, like measles, in making sure you don’t get the infection, then you might be willing to accept a more severe initial reaction.”

But then again,

The public understanding of the term “effective” [as in 90% effective] could be very different from the reality. It is likely to be understood that out of 100 people, 90 of them will become completely immune to SARS-CoV-2 and will not to transmit the virus to their loved ones. As mentioned in section (III), none of the current Covid Vaccine trials are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths or can determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus.

Which of these do you think we will be told??

https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4037
The second one is correct.

Exactly, that’s what i thought, the second quote in my original comes from the letter to the MRHA sent by doctors. The first one about making sure you don’t get the infection comes from the article about side effects and comes from someone who is an ‘expert in vaccine controversy’.

I do worry that people will merrily have this injection thinking that it will stop them getting covid and thus enable them to carry on ‘as normal’ when that is completely untrue.

Masks forever. People still don’t get it.

I tested the water with a few people yesterday letting them in on the ‘secret’ that the vaccines are only designed to address symptoms. They think I’m an anti vaxxer

I told my covid paranoid parents that the vaccine will not give immunity but will only reduce symptoms slightly and that it often makes people feel ill who have had it. I also said it was being rushed out, untested and that it is licensed as experimental. I mentioned a few other things too.
They spluttered incredulously. They got all angry and defensive. They instantly discounted everything I had said.
How dare I say these things!
Oh deary me.

You tried, that’s all you can do. It’s their decision afterall.

Wait until you tell than that the NHS will triage them as DNR (assuming they’re 60+)

As I reckon the majority of us have some immunity already I wouldn’t trust this bunch of shysters to steal the credit. Has anyone noticed none of them have so much as acknowledged WE have immune systems!

The CRG dominating the news and they don’t deserve any copy at all.

If ever there was a managed opposition.

Are they really going to step back and allow Johnson to carry on destroying the country? Do they really trust him to keep any promise? It’s unbelievable.

If there was really an element of true protest in them at least one of them would resign and take it to the streets. I think that someone would break ranks if they really believed this government had to be stopped.

If not now then when?

Big mistake to believe anything Johnson says he’s a pathological liar who will renege on any prouses email makes.

Well I suppose without them you could argue we would reach boiling point more quickly and properly rebel. Or you could argue they are our only hope, being realistic, as they actually have some power.

I don’t think they are “managed” if what you mean is they are in some way manufactured or even tolerated or welcomed. I’m sure the PM would prefer to have the unfailing support of all of his party. I don’t think he’s smart enough to have thought of creating some mild dissent.

But I may be wrong.

On balance I think the CRG are a good thing as it normalises views like “we have to get back to normal” and “we should do a cost benefit analysis before taking action” – views that were simply absent completely from public discourse when this nonsense started.

As we saw yesterday the CRG want lockdown, just a different type of lockdown.

Re NHS. When my time arrives. I pray my maker takes me in my sleep in my own bed and saves me from it.

Re Government. If estimates are to be believed they have managed to affect GDP so much that it’s worse than 1918 post war and Spanish Flu.

Re Media. Millennium Bug, Terrorism and the power of nightmares, Iraq war and Covid-19. Quite a lot of terror you have inflicted with disproportionate reporting.

Re us. The critical thinkers. We enjoy true freedom.

I’ve already decided that it’s not worth saving the NHS. At my age if anything goes wrong theyll probably put a DNR tag on my toe and leave me to it. I’m not old enough for a state pension but too old to be saved in the NHS.
My son is currently waiting for an urgent referral appointment at the local hospital. Last time he was ill it was an emergency ambulance run, so we are trying to pre-empt that. But it looks like he wont get treatment either. What is the point of saving the NHS when it treats nobody?

I admire your determination but I’ve written so many times already. On this occasion I doubt she’d even see it before the vote. If she does she won’t be interested, her cabinet position being so much more important than anything else. Losing my vote is a drop in the ocean to her as she firmly expects to hang on to her comfortable majority.
I’ll give it one more go today but it really is p*ssing in the wind.

And the problem with p*****g on the wind is that u get ur knickers wet!!

‘Never give up, never give up, never give up’. Winston Churchill

Sorry, you’re either a conspiracy theorist or a mug. State surveillance being ratcheted up. Test and trace is just for show. What they’re really testing for is compliance.

Clearly, large cities and conurbations, some twenty or thirty of them, should have an impenetrable cordon sanitaire drawn around them to prevent the egress of diseased persons into the countryside and its bucolic towns and villages.

Absolutely – and all the unemployed can be put to work building walls around the cities.

‘Déclarez état de peste. Fermez la ville.’

Been watching the Stella Artois advert again?

There is pandemic. Death rates have not moved. In analysing the data I can see they moved flu-respiratory-heart attack deaths into CV 19. The MCCD process was radically altered and is no longer reliable as well. In past years the UK has seen 50K dead from ‘normal’ flu. They (NHS, ONS) will rewrite those data sets downwards (prediction).

Muslims – no problem with their bronze age festivals.
Muslims – no problems if they meet in a mosque or have a hate-speech meeting.
Burn Loot Murder – no problems if they terrorise, tear down and protest. Police kneel.
BAME protests – Police smile and wave.

Christians – close your church you murdering imbeciles, the state says.
Christians – Let’s neuter Christmas and don’t touch granny she will die, they say.
Lockdown protests – mostly White, so they attack, beat, arrest and declare themselves pious defenders of the nation’s health.

See a pattern?

“Places of worship” are closed be they churches, mosques or synagogues. Muslims were banned from celebrating eid the night before when restrictions were announced on twitter. All faiths are suffering not just Christianity.

The Mad Hatter sipped his tea, stared back at Alice and said

‘We have closed down the NHS to prevent it being closed down’

And Humpy Dumpty said “when I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less”

The village had to be destroyed to save it (Vietnam war)

I’m starting to wonder if it’s to let people die. The World Economic Forum’s Great Cull

Any more news about Hancock’s £30 million government contract with his old pub landlord? At one time this would have been a resigning matter.

We are mugs. There for the taking.

Perhaps we should all get politically active!

Making sure he isn’t banned from one pub at least.

I heard on the radio the latest bull###t is that the latest fiasco is due to us needing to manage NHS capacity. In that case we could be like this for years! We have one big hospital in Cornwall, on black alert regularly due to norovirus or just too many holiday makers. But the same hospital where the care worker stood on the steps of the cathedral a few weeks back after resigning over the lies and pointed out only 3 people with covid were in it and it was all but empty for months in the spring when we were all told to clap!!! Made national news.
I have a contact with an icu nurse and they confirmed they had hardly any covid and never have had.
If nhs capacity is such an issue, are we seeing hospitals popping up left right and centre? Are we seeing a huge training campaign to double the number of nurses? We have empty nightingale hospitals, not one in Cornwall as far as I know, but I’ve not heard of anything else to long term solve the capacity problem?
Will the MPs do anything to stop this fiasco next week? No chance they are all words and weak willed halfwits

my local (big) hospital has 20 covid patients. My GP friend said they though about half of them got it in the hospital

Same here. What I notice is that people admitted with it are in and out very quickly, one day there’s be over 30, the next day 20 , then 25 then 18 etc so that suggests they’re all well enough to be at home very shortly after their positive swabs. And no, they’re not all dying…

The health industry is huge in Cornwall, I sometimes think that half the population works for the NHS and its ‘partners’ while the other half is in its thrall. Could this be why everyone wears a mask and wrings their hands about thousands of visitors thronging our streets?
On my local facebook page there are already objections to people travelling between tiers. Obviously they will be coming to kill us all.

It’s a zero Covid policy now. Utterly mental.

Zero Covid literally translates to Zero Nature. It’s based on scientific illiteracy and political ignorance

Like Zero Carbon, shocking how our institutions have been infected with insanity. Told them to remove me from the annual ‘stock take’.

A timely reminder this morning on Twitter:

“We want to suppress it, not get rid of it completely, which you can’t do anyway, and allow enough of us, who are going to mild illness, to become immune to this, which would protect everybody . . “

Hand-wringing! Never forget the hand-wringing; it’s an essential part of the performance.

‘Performance’ is exactly what it is!

With a heavy heart. Don’t forget the heavy heart.

Like we did in August and September. The bodies weren’t piling up in the street after that.

I made this point here back in the spring. As a sad person who reads the death notices in our local paper, I have not noticed that there is a significant increase in the number of notices and I have not noticed more funerals passing by (we live near to a crematorium)
Unfortunately, the intellectually challenged in this country will not see the significance of this.

It is a very dubious practice to use the Public Health Act to manage the NHS, I have written to the Attorney General about this but received no reply. But really Parliament should be demanding a statement from the Attorney General on the use of the law in this way. Much of this Coronavirus legislation has gone through with limited Parliamentary scrutiny, it really needs both the Lords and the Commons to address this matter and challenge the imposition of Public Health SIs based on needing to protect the NHS.

They have a great job don’t they. Letters from the public are just ignored! We need to rein these people in, they are Not OUR masters, they are Public Servants!

If UK GDP really does fall 11% or so this year that’ll be about £300 billion down the toilet. That’s more than 2 years’ worth of the NHS (PBUH). In a former life Donald Trump watched (municipal) government incompetence in even staring to repair the Central Park ice rink. He took it on and completed the job for peanuts in weeks. I’m told he’ll be out of work at the end of January – might he be seconded to build a couple of health services over a weekend?

Bit of ‘trivia’. The Band’s performance of Tears of Rage (Theme Tunes) was at Woodstock in the midst of the Hong Kong flu that killed 1 million worldwide (population 3626 million 1969, 7795 million 2020). Approximately twice as lethal as the ‘rona.

Yes – all that social distancing at Woodstock in the midst of the flu…

No social distancing at my boarding school either as we listened with amazement to the Woodstock LPs.

The Stones played a free concert at Hyde Park and around 150 thousand attended the Isle of Wight pop festival in the same year.

That’s your first ever thumbs up from me. Feeling refreshed after your leave?

It was the red cool aid at Woodstock that kept the Whu Flu at bay and made people feel groovy.
The green cool aid was the CIA cool aid and that made many go absolutely crazy.

Time to get visible about your feelings.

I think this is lockdown sceptics reader’s design.

The dreadful Gove was on the six a.m. news this morning. (Apologies for admitting I listened to the BBC, but I was waiting for “Sound of the Sixties”)

I couldn’t believe my ears when he came out with the same old crap about “…stop the NHS being overwhelmed”. Still trying to push the same discredited agenda. Someone please tell that idiot to stop digging when he’s already in a deep hole.

Same old lies; much greater contempt for the people at whom they are directed. In March the lies were perhaps plausible. Not so now.

“ The dreadful Gove “

Never forget. Never forgive.

When this is over, bar paying the bills and grieving, there will be a temptation for those of us who might agree with the likes of Gove on some issues to forget about what he has inflicted on the nation, and start to take him seriously again.

No. This is what witch hunts are actually good for. There should be a profound and lengthy witch hunt directed at those complicit in this lockdown catastrophe. They should be hounded.

And taken up the Scaffold….Gove is a despicable little man. Just give me 5 minutes with him.

Weasel Gove and his missus have their eyes on a vacancy at no 10. Not on my watch!

Digging is all part of the worship of Moloch.

You want normal? THEN ACT NORMAL!

So true. So many are also willing to act normal if you give them the chance!

There is no need to print that statement from the metropolitan police ,we should be encouraging people not trying to scare them .If lockdown sceptics feel that they cannot endorse the demo’s for legal reasons then they should just report the fact one is happening and let people decide .

SPG thugs have been violently active at previous demonstrations, seems fair to warn people.

I have a heavy heart thinking about the protests. However, giving protestors a beating might seem a strange way to encourage Tory rebels to vote with the government. Ref. Charles Walker.

But it’s not warning anyone about violence it’s just the police saying don’t turn up .

In most businesses I’ve worked in the most useless people, those incapable of doing anything of any value were made “health & safety” officers. Maybe all this is their revenge?

I think you’re onto something, at lots of levels.

Douglas Adams had the right idea, with the ‘telephone sanitisers’.

Oh, thank goodness, SAGE has rushed out a new document that explains absolutely everything in words of one syllable.

“Co-production that is embedded at a local level and is fit for purpose, supportive of procedural justice, equity-generating, and evaluated for effectiveness will go a long way to preventing the development of interventions and substitution behaviours.”

Why didn’t they say so in the first place?

смерть бюрократам!

Death to the bureaucrats!
You didn’t make that one up? You swear?
I used to earn my living putting gobbledogook into English, but this one has me beat.

It is “Death to Bureaucrats” in Russian.

Which language is the bit in quotes ? Google translate isn’t working.

This country has become a cesspit filled with a paranoid, hysterical mob inflicting the most horrific, unforgivable abuse on children. This is worse than child slave labour.

Yesterday I described a group of 4/5 year olds suffering eye infections from metal dust coming in from a construction site and spending all day in the freezing cold because window were kept wide open. I have now seen the hands of an 8-year-old, covered in sores, swollen and rough as sandpaper. Why? Because the children are made to wash their hands every 15 minutes then have them forcibly sprayed with sanitiser. She has contact dermatitis on her hands. (And several friends have now reported the same condition in their children.) If an adult presented to a doctor with hands like this and described a routine of washing their hands EVERY 15 minutes followed by covering them with sanitiser, they would be diagnosed with acute OCD and, possibly, a hysterical personality disorder. They would be given urgent treatment for their condition. The majority of the population is seriously mentally unwell. Except it’s worse than that.

“Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a mental health problem in which a caregiver makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, an elderly adult, or a person who has a disability. Because vulnerable people are the victims, MSBP is a form of child abuse or elder abuse.”

Our children are being PSYCHOLOGICALLY TORTURED, terrified into believing that they are disgusting, toxic vectors for disease, that if they so much as come within 2 meters of an adult, they could kill them. This is CHILD ABUSE. It must stop, urgently!

Furthermore, children are missing school and being imprisoned in their homes because of an over sensitive test result that says a classmate is “positive” for a virus. None of them are infectious! There is no need for this nonsense. It is completely insane. And unforgivably cruel.

These are CHILDREN! They are the most important people in our society. These are the people who will be making decisions about us when we are old. Well, good luck to us because they will all be psychologically damaged and riddled with cancer because of all the chemicals being forced onto and into their bodies.

CHILDREN DO NOT TRANSMIT THE SARS-Cov-2 VIRUS.

This is FACT!

Adult teachers pass it around amongst themselves, NOT CHILDREN!!

There is no such thing as “ASYMPTOMATIC TRANSMISSION”!

This is all the result of the original abusive government messaging terrorising people. “Act as if you’ve got it”, “Anyone can spread it”, “People will die.” I watched as rational, intelligent friends were inculcated with this message. Bless them. They all thought they were “responsible for spreading a virus”, that they were uncontrollable killing machines. No amount of facts and figures will persuade them otherwise. They are radicalised and they need professional help to deprogramme them now. Let’s stop the blame game. Let’s stop trying to find out “what’s behind it all” and speculate as to the agenda of governments. Let’s just make the child abuse STOP NOW! What the hell do we do?!

It is terrible but all is not yet lost, yesterday on the village football field next to our house the village primary school were out for activities in the Autumn sunshine, games, laughing, huddling in groups, no masks lots of physical activity and excitement, a joy for the heart to see. The human spirit will burst through in the end it is just awful how quickly we have gone down in a cycle of hysteria over a tin-pot virus

Not ever forgetting the tin pot turdologists ‘running’ the farce..

The obvious move here is for all parents to remove there children from the offending school, organise a mass protest outside the school gates,get local radio, newspaper involved and cause as much negative publicity as possible.. Schools hate bad publicity I can assure you…

Not enough parents to get a mass protest together unfortunately – they’re all mad too

But it wouldn’t be all parents, it would just be me at my school.

Shocking. Yes children are traumatised.

This is what happens when the bastard government empower idiots way above their intellectual abilities then drive them crazy en mass. On purpose.
Yes it’s child abuse. It’s unforgivable.
More fool the parents for going along with it and to hell with the idiot teachers who go along with it too.

This is just of-the-charts evil on a national scale.

It’s incredible.

I will never ever look at people in the way I used to before covid. People are literally an alien species to me now. Way more than they ever were before in my opinion and that’s saying something. I just hate teachers, seeing them in their face nappies make me want to call them out as child abusers.
My face nappy tourettes came to the fore a few weeks ago as I cycled past a local school, the young teacher guy (possibly the headmaster) was in his face nappy in the playground and I just could not contain the “You Fucking Knob!” that popped out my mouth.
Fools.

Well said totally agree I have no time what so ever for people who slavishly accept lockdown in my eyes they are mass murderers and should be treated a such.

You can’t blame parents. They have no choice. They can’t work unless they send their children to school.

Actually, you can blame the parents for accepting every degrading piece of torture inflicted on their children. Very few of us have objected to face masks and prison conditions. Our position is weakened by our low numbers. The heads can rule with a rod of iron and shame none mask wearers because so few have declared themselves mask exempt. My daughter has been bullied and intimidated and made to feel that she is putting lives at risk just by sitting on the bus minding her own business.

Humm I dunno. The same old story isn’t it? Nobody has done a single thing to stop this shit, almost everybody has just gone along with it.
Are the parents jobs more important than their kids quality of life?
Is money to pay the sky sub, car rental, morguage, xmass shopping, the holidays, the booze, the PC’s the etc etc etc more important than having their kids in face nappies being tortured in schools?

My wife told me how she was standing outside the school gates when our 3 year old coughed a few times. She said she felt embarrassed as every other parent turned around and stared at her.

As a parent it is you who has been blessed with the responsibility to care for and protect that child no one else. Sometimes life does not does not have any easy choices but there is always choice. I do blame the parents in this case.

So it’s okay for your child to be traumatised, if it means that you can still work. The truth is that most parents are just too stupid, to realise that schools are systematically abusing their children and scarring some of them for life.

Getting to grips with what’s behind the fake pandemic is the best way of getting the nonsense stopped. Otherwise I go along with everything you say and where is the NSPCC in all this blatant child abuse?

Absolutely! The way this horrific juggernaut is going, how soon before the manic brainwashed mob are calling for imprisonment of children?! This is EXACTLY how Hitler began the hysteria that led to the mass extermination of Jews. Start by calling them “dirty” and “disease-ridden”. It is NOT an exaggeration to make these parallels. We are on a knife edge. Where is the UN?! (Actually council of Europe just published strongly worded memo to member states to warn against abuse to children’s fundamental human rights but I’m scared it’s too little too late.)

I completely agree with you. Our son’s preschool is kept very cold because all the windows are open. It’s nearly December for goodness sake!
I was struck by a post today, Anne Frank was hidden by those who broke the rules, but killed by those following them.
There is nothing moral about following immoral rules.

As I have said many times on this site the predicted covid deaths for our village were 800. Not one yet. It would be inappropriate to say I live in hope

When I point this out to people in the village their explanation is that we have been ‘very lucky’ and that we have followed every rule to the letter, and that has saved us

They also tell me that the Town to the North has not been so lucky and it’s ‘terrible there’ with many, many covid deaths. They have heard of whole families dying of ‘it’ in the Town to the North.

They say it’s too dangerous to go to the Town to the North

In for a penny in for a pound I thought so I took the trip

Twenty miles away, on the other side of a mountain range sits the Town to the North

A picturesque market town with a Square complete with closed down pubs

Everyone was masked up, no exceptions. I ordered a takeaway coffee and sat on bench in the Square. I was approached by an elderly lady struggling with two large bags of shopping

She asked if she could join me as she was out of breath, and it was OK to remove her mask whilst sitting down

I told her that I was sad to hear about what had happened in the Town to the North. She replied that no everything was fine and there had not been any deaths because the whole town had been wearing masks since March

A tear came to her eye as she told me about all the covid baby deaths in the Village to the East. ‘If only people had listened, all those babies would be alive now’

The Village to the East has a 12th century church and a village green. Everything was closed and shuttered. Not a soul about. A village in mourning

I spotted a light on in the Funeral Directors. Ok, Ok’ it’s getting boring but stick with it, it has a good ending (well I think so anyway)

‘ Baby deaths, Hah! none mate you’ve been speaking to people in the Town to the West haven’t you’

‘Mate if your after covid deaths go to The City in the South. They’ve got the full works there, BAME, mass graves, you’ll be tripping over corpses down there’

When I arrived everyone was out Christmas Shopping. At the till I asked about the deaths

‘No, not here, try the Village to the East, told they got 800 there. Next customer please’

Very good, would make a good film by your namesake or perhaps better Powell and Pressburger.

Absolutely brilliant!

First class piece of work!

In my town we were told 4000 of a population of 180,000 would die. Lockdown came even before the official date as bars and restaurants were shamed into closing by local self appointed community leaders.

They’ve never admitted their mistakes. We’ve seen 100 die and 95% are over 65 with 75% over 80.

I got banned from their Facebook group for pointing out these numbers. Psychological damage has been inflicted on them.

There is Zero whith of protest here. Its awful. My MP has never responded to any of my emails.

Mint!

If Shirley Jackson and Oscar Wilde were channelling Aesop…

MP s must be held responsible for what the government and NHS are doing, or in many cases not doing. Criminal charges must be directed at those who are elected into office and failed to hold this Junta to account. Perhaps then we may get some action from these parasites. Far too many sit on their backsides, cashing their cheques without accountability.

Johnson is insane.

As are Witless and unbalanced.

And Damnation!

Clear case of malfeasance against all of them. It’s one lie after another and there is plenty of evidence to show. From official stats to the Portugese court case (pcr tests not fit for purpose) from a recent Wuhun study (you don’t pass on if asymptomatic) and so on. Also possibly manslaughter.

There’s no case against MPs regarding their behaviour in Parliament. There is only one way to make them personally accountable: an act of attainder. For which you need a majority in Parliament.

I think the NHS and its staff must also be held responsible for what the NHS and its staff are doing.

Interesting snippet from the 1984 act about waste.
” A person who places, or causes or permits to be placed, in a dustbin or ashpit any matter which he knows to have been exposed to infection from a notifiable disease, and which has not been disinfected, shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale.”
Therefore anyone throwing a mask into the general waste is committing an offence.

Book em Dano

Good point, getting the hang of this now!

And even more so when they throw it down in the street, which happens regularly judging by the number of abandoned masks I see.

Please make it stop!

Klaus Schwab? It’s unstoppable I’m afraid

We need to stop it

The ‘rona isn’t ‘notifiable’. https://www.nuh.nhs.uk/notifiable-diseases

Yes it is, it was added in the 2020 legislation. That is why it has to appear on a death certificate if it is suspected of being a contributory cause.

Oops, good point, and yet in W/E 15/11/2020 only 87 cases were notified in England and Wales according to PHE NOIDs weekly report (and none in our Kentish plague land).

Exactly, which is why I’ve submitted an FOI request to Leicester hospitals asking how many notifications have their medics submitted since January as required by law.” Please could you provide the following information: Since 1st January 2020 until 26th November 2020 how many notifications under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 and the Health Protection (Notification) Regulations 2010 have been submitted by UHL medical staff?”

Great idea!

Thank you, I’ve asked my MP Helen Whately why there were only 87 notifications in 2020/46 and none in (Tier 3) Kent.

You couldn’t make it up. Covid nowhere to be seen, yet the government, media and Joe Public think we are in the midst of a virus akin to the Bubonic plague.

These stories about the west midlands police stopping people in shops just seems to me a reaction about more people going maskless and ultimately to scare us .From what we can read into this story the woman is clearly in the right and the police are in the wrong ,so why are they doing it again? after having to apologise regarding the last video we saw of their antics.Either the W M P are just thick as shit and don’t brief their foot soldiers or they are willing to risk a few apologies as long as it scares more people .So everyone don’t be worried just get an exemption card and carry in pocket incase you’re ever asked and in the meantime show your face and encourage as many others as you can to do the same .

The West Midlands Police have an appalling record for violence and corrution. This from Wiki
Controversies and allegations of corruption Between 1974 and 1989, the force operated the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad . It was disbanded after allegations of endemic misconduct, leading to a series of unsafe convictions. These included allegations that officers had falsified confessions in witness statements, denied suspects access to solicitors and used torture such as “plastic bagging” to partially suffocate suspects in order to extract confessions. They were alleged to have abused payments to informers. A series of around 40 prosecutions failed in the late 1980s as defendants showed that evidence had or may have been tampered with. West Yorkshire Police led an investigation which led to a small number of internal disciplinary proceedings, but did not recommend any prosecutions for lack of evidence. However, over 60 convictions secured from their investigations have now been quashed, including those of the Birmingham Six . [17]
West Midlands Police had two serious firearms incidents, in 1980 and 1985. In 1980, David Pagett held his pregnant girlfriend as hostage while resisting arrest by the police. Officers returned fire, and shot her. [18] Police had initially tried to claim that Pagett has shot her, but it became clear that it was police bullets that had caused her death. In 1985, John Shorthouse was arrested by West Midlands police for questioning about armed robberies in South Wales. His house was then searched. His five-year-old son, John, was shot by police searching under the child’s bed. An internal inquiry was held, and as a result, use of firearms was restricted to a specialised and trained unit. [19]
Allegations of bribery and corruption were made in 1994 by World in Action . The convicted criminal David Harris alleged that West Midlands police officers had demanded payments of more than £200,000 to keep criminals including himself away from prosecutions. Other allegations from police officers focused on officers attempting to persuade others to accept bribes. The CID was the focus of an investigation by Leicestershire Police at the request of the Police Complaints Authority. [20]

I thought that that was put right decades ago , but perhaps they are reverting to type.

I genuinely believe that at the beginning the governments intention was to deal with the virus and to protect the public. That intention once it saw just how easy it was to manipulate and control the public, with aid of a compliant police ‘force’ (no longer a police ‘service’) ,that good intention morphed into a desire, as with all potential dictatorships, to exert and expand the power that it was beginning to enjoy and does not want to give up. Once the government realised that its army of followers, MPs, as well as a compliant public, media and civil service, we were all, in the words of a famous Dads Army character, doomed!

I am only bothering to put this into words because it makes me feel better.

Unfortunately I see a globally orchestrated agenda. If only it was about a virus

Opportunism. Disaster Socialism/Capitalism.

I look at some of my bosses in my work (large corporate) who immediately adopted the build back better speak and I am astounded how easily the shift happens. Its just another opportunity. In the good times they advise how to grow, in the bad how to shed jobs. The one constant is they are quids in.

Same with mental-health-speak. It didn’t catch on until a couple of years ago. Now everyone’s saying it. If you feel a bit anxious or miserable, it’s a mental health issue.

Prefer TY’s analysis that it’s a cynical (and profoundly wicked) political calculation that everything must be sacrificed for the great Moloch of the NHS.

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/watts-the-minotaur-n01634

I am in blood
Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.

I think TY also needs to step a careful line so he is not seen as a conspiracy theorist. He won’t be drawn on global agenda. Just like he won’t be drawn on Trump. To influence change he needs to retain credibility.

That said, he’s not stupid and whilst he may say it’s mainly incompetence the “convergent opportunism” neatly described by Mike Yeadon is snowballing.

Once those taking opportunities from the chaos get going (and they are well and truly going), they have plenty of power and opportunity and a vacuum to develop what they want.

That could be a mix of global tyranny, 4th industrial revolution, increased digital surveillance, medical marshal law, censorship etc etc

Whatever evolves, we plebs (middle class or otherwise) are considered the lowest of the low and really we all know, they don’t care two hoots about us.

I think NHS worship has a lot to do with this, yes

That intention once it saw just how easy it was to manipulate and control the public …

Agree

The compliance of mask wearing was the final cog that showed the government how easy it is to take our rights and liberties away.

Anyone have a template for the don’t vote for lockdown email we can send to MPs?

I have given up with any attempt at persuasion or facts or pleas.

Today I wrote to my MP and simply said, “Vote against lockdown or I’ll vote against you.”

SaveOurRights has this:
https://saveourrights.uk/covid-resistance/tier-system-letter/

It might serve you as starting point, but I wouldn’t cite Yeadon as well known – he is in our circles but probably not on the national stage. Find other names.
And the second paragraph reads as though Witty held his hand up and said “I was telling porkies”. I don’t think he did. Heneghan debunked Witty’s data promptissimo , as I recall. And others.

So treat with caution, take it as a starting point and customise.

Thanks.

Some of us need to stand in the elections against these parties and MPs that failed us.
Local Elections are in May 2021. This will provide a stronger base for national elections in 4 years time.

https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/candidate-or-agent/local-elections-england

Both conservative and labour got us into this mess – killing small businesses, jobs and dreams. Labour failed to oppose anything – if they did their job as opposition we never would have got to this point of madness

Note:
conservatives are already considering applicants for local elections in May 2021 (think other parties will do the same)

Yes and this is also worth a look https://freedomalliance.co.uk/ thin at the moment but they are focusing on local elections.

https://heritageparty.org/

https://reclaimparty.co.uk/

The leaders of both these parties have been outspoken against the coronapanic nonsense. So (latterly) has Nigel Farage, whose party is apparently going to be rebranded as Reform.

Any or all of these parties might well be standing next time there is a vote.

If your preferences run rather to the political left, who knows eventually perhaps a party of the left might arise that actually stands up on the most vital issue of the moment.

There is also the SDP which has been outspokenly anti-panic. Not sure where they belong on the right/left spectrum – probably centre or centre-left.

SDP seem leftish on economic issues but socially conservative and nationalist. Surprised Hitchens has not expressed more support for them as he’s by no means a laissez faire capitalist

Hitchens is old and wise and knows that no small parties will get anywhere until one of the big parties are destroyed. After that the other would soon follow like the Twin Towers. People only vote Labour as they hate the tories and vice versa. We know they are both utter shit and have been for decades.

My preferences run to the politically free. I’m done with the old parties.

In our village (according to the local newsletter) they believe that the Magic Jab will deliver them from the ‘Awful’ Mask.
At least they admit the mask is awful.
They don’t know yet how awful the jab will be, nor that it will not deliver them from anything.

Ha ha – good selling tool though

In this weeks Planet Normal podcast with Allison Pearson & Liam Halligan, one of their NHS Whistleblowers who works for 111 says before the national lockdown they were told to do a 180 degree about face on previous instructions and advise as many people as possible to go to hospitals to fill up the beds. Optics, as they say in the PR game. Fraud, as they say when they arrest the perps.

I did some research yesterday just to pass the time. Viruses are by far the biggest biological entity on the planet. It is estimated that there are 10 to the power of 30 (thats 10 with 30 zeros behind it) in the environment. The size of the viruses are measured in nanometers (that billionths of a meter). They are found in the upper atmosphere and can travel from continent to continent on the wind/s.

So politicians expect to “fight” something that is extremely numerous and incredible small by telling the sheeple to wear masks that have filtration capabilities measured in micron (millionths of a meter) and to stay 2 meters apart (when viruses can cross continents).

I don’t think so.

Our own organisms produces viral RNA to stimulate the Immune System…

Plus there’s the fact that there are more viruses in the human virome than stars in the sky.
And my particular fave – they pre-date life on earth. As in there was RNA viruses before even single cells. They rule us really not the other way round.

Not good enough only the removal of Johnson Hancock Witty Vallance Gove all the stupid covid19 rules will suffice

The Portuguese Courts were pretty prompt with their PCR judgment. One has to ask why then are our Judiciary taking so long with Simon Dolan’s case? It is a matter of National importance…our freedoms and rights.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

I’m not denying that the ruling was a positive. But it has had no impact on PCR being used in Portugal or the conditions under which it is used there.

That’s what I’ve been saying since the ruling came out… We’re now with 4,353,234 PCR kits used!

At ~80€ a pop (just for the kit itself) THE WASTE sums up to 348.258.720€!

Our collective WASTE is THEIR small group PROFIT!

One presumes that the fact it is taking so long is a good sign – if they didn’t think there was any case to answer they would have ruled already, surely?

My view is that it fundamentally destroys the government position.The actions they have taken are not supported by the 1984 public health act.The act only supports the quarantine of infected people not healthy.Typical establishment cover up while they try to think of a statute to use,to throw out the case.

If I had to guess I would say you are right – they know the Dolan case is strong and are very worried about judging in his favour and are desperate to cook something up that is vaguely plausible that justifies the government. I suspect they are not so far having much luck finding it. I wonder if Sumption weighing in quite publicly with a legal analysis has made them much more cautious.

My view too. Any judgement of something this important must be watertight legally.

From my somewhat limited experience and understanding. The Portuguese case was about 4 people being quarantined unlawfully, the PCR tests suitability or otherwise was the crux of this judgement only and the court decided it was not suitable or sufficient to warrant the quarantining of these four individuals. The decision could then be referred to in subsequent cases, but it doesn’t mean that PCR test use has to be halted. Whether this case could be referred to in future British court cases I would doubt, however it could carry some weight with the European Court of Human Rights and within the EU.

The delay may be because Dolan has brought the second lockdown into his case – see 23 Nov update:
https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/lockdownlegalchallenge/
Was this wise? Surely it gives Gov’t a reason to kick this down the road for many more months.

The truth….

Absolutely.

Just a thought. During the black death there were flagellants who flogged themselves to avert Gods wroth and bring an end to the plague. Maybe Covid zealots could flog themselves in the hope they kill viruses and stop catching this not so deadly disease (other diseases are also available). At least it’ll give us sceptics a good laugh.

WHY NOT?

LOL! Don’t give Boris and Hancock ideas for their NHS volunteers!

COVID zealots should just obey the ORDER of the Sheeplerd!

They are already flogging themselves emotionally. I don’t think humans have learned very much in the last 2000 years.

Indeed… We just have fancier rocks!

A written constitution and a federal republic where everyone is equal is a much democratic than a idiotic monarchy with hereditary blood a written constitution would reign in Government much more Johnson wouldn’t be able to ride roughshod over our civil liberties either

Except that countries around the world have written constitutions but don’t seem to be that free either

Australia has a written constitution even though they have a Queen. Canada has a written constitution likewise.
Both are federations.
The Soviet Union had a written constitution.
There is no reason why the United Kingdom couldn’t be a federation, which we almost are, except there’s no Executive branch for England, Boris et al are the U.K. government and should not be making decisions for England that the devolved executives can for their own nations.
The United Federal Kingdom of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, (could not have the federal United Kingdom, although it could be an appropriate abbreviation!)

The most powerful constitution in the world,the American one, didn’t save them from the same result.
The problem is the entire medical/scientific establishment plus the media has been corrupted and Governments are following supra national rules in the pursuit of a very unpleasant future.

Likewise Ireland – there was a case taken and the “judge” ruled that constitutional rights are not absolute.

A public that values their own freedom and the freedom of others is what we need.

The reason for the “2 wave” is the natural consequence of using PCR to boost a FAKE PANDEMIC SRF & Billionaires TOOL/PROPAGANDA so that THEY can CHANGE Their Civilization and Planet to the way THEY most see fit.

ALL THE REST is just a circus…

IMPACT OF THE FLU JAB IN PCR “CASES” … It’s funny!

(data for Portugal but for UK and so on is the same…)

And this is how THEY do it!

A graph can tell any tale you want. Is there any study that shows the PCR picks up flu?

Well… We still don’t have a single study showing us that “SARS-CoV-2” is an infectious viral particle, capable of causing a disease (pneumonia) and eventually kill the infected animal.

Do you know any study that shows that PCR is NOT picking up flu?

PCR picks ANYTHING we want, specially when NO GOLD STANDARD exists….

How do you think that Cristiano Ronaldo after 6 consecutive PCR’s with “positive” amplification (done in 4 days) on the day after complaining that “ PCR is s h i t ” GOT one PCR with “negative” amplification and was playing soccer the day after?!

What’s the “tale” that graph tells you?

Correlation.

PCR is certainly a fraud, however, I just want to know the technical reason it would test positive for flu?

I already wrote the reason… No gold standard. You need to understand what this means in the lalaLand of PCR.

They build a closed loop of sensitivity and specificity, that’s why they always declare high %s on both those measures.

If the 1t PCR protocol is a crap but it is used to calibrate all the other experiments, than all experiments are crap.

Just heard from a teacher in the NE that one school has 70% absenteeism at the moment, Using PCR one child tests positive and the whole bubble off for 14 days. They go back to school and another tests so called positive and they are off again. Meanwhile in the real world while Mum and Dad are at work they are out and about in the park with all their mates. A generation educationally disadvantaged.

I am beginning to view this kind of thing as positive. It makes it less likely that people will settle in under these conditions. The more disruption the better.

In the world that is emerging all that education does is to make you a more productive slave.

They have already settled in to it. Disruption means nothing to them when they are bought in to the fear and the need to sacrifice everything to the God of safetyism.

This is teachers having serious amounts of time off by the backdoor
Couldn’t get the schools closed so deploy Plan B.

“Government Proposes to Liberate Local Areas in Bid to Placate Rebellion”
And Toby’s comment–‘It’s a start’

I’m sorry toby, it’s NOT a start. It’s just more divide and rule by buying off those MP’s who are kicking up a stink. This whole catastrophe has to be ended and the whole country has to return to normal. Anything else is just playing tunes to the PM’s fiddle.

Exactly Harry!

In fact, because this whole line of argument accepts the logic of lockdown it is a fatal error.

It is as if we are prisoners in an internment camp arguing for milder punishment, whilst accepting that we deserver some punishment.

Overton Window

True, though you could equally argue that by accepting that it’s OK to advocate for less draconian restrictions in the name of proportionality the Overton Window is being moved in our direction.

Too true calchas!

Those of us who are true anti lockdowners know full well that until this whole sh*t show is completely ended and the whole language and terminology of the last seven months is consigned to the dust bin of history it will just go on and on.

As James Corbett is now saying: each and every one of us must now adopt a ‘disobedience’ attitude and behave as normally as possible. We do ourselves nothing but harm and make absolutely no progress by trying to engage with all the madness that is going on.

https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/27/watch-what-no-one-is-saying-about-the-lockdowns/

Like Tobias Elwood explaining to Jeremy Vine yesterday how essential tiers are but that his particular constituency, Bournemouth East, should be in tier one.

Lt-col Ellwood of 77th Brigade? Shurely shome mishtake…?

Yes. I couldn’t believe that he of all people was preparing to vote against the government.

He should now re-assign his brigade to fight for freedom.

Absolutely. It’s wrong on so many levels.
Firstly, lockdown at all is predicated on lies and has no value but is enormously damaging.
Secondly, the pandemic is over with very few genuine cases not caused by poor infection control in hospital.
Thirdly, get bought off by a promise that at the first review your constituency will move down a tier – more fool you.

They are doing this because there is no real basis for restrictions, if they placate us we’ll stop asking questions.

It is a start, that cannot be denied. But it is not good enough, it doesn’t go far enough, and as you say it is a mere sop.
When I saw my MPs response (steve_w had the same) I could see that the CRG had walked straight into the trap. Don’t they play chess at all?

Absolutely right.

The WEF’s fiddle

Another attempt at the average age of covid death vs average age all deaths from all causes debate.

Let’s say both are 80.

I believe that the average life expectancy for 80 year olds is more than 80. So if some of those 80 year olds die earlier because of covid, it will pull down the average life expectancy a bit

Perhaps someone could come up with a clever example to prove or disprove this

What is the lfe expectancy of an 80 year old with underlying conditions?

The fact that in Sweden they are heading for a normal year in terms of all-case mortality shows definitively that all of those excess deaths in Sweden in April and May would otherwise have occurred in the months just before or in the months just after.

I have just used the Aviva life expectancy calculator, typed in my age as a female, aged 80, with no underlying health conditions, including BMI in the normal range. My life expectancy is 92 (although note, as this is for the purposes of post-retirement insurance cover, this is likely an overestimate). If I use the ONS calculator it comes out at 90, although it does not allow for BMI etc, so it is an average.

Life expectancy calculator – Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)

The point, however, is comorbidities rather than age, per se, As Dr Peter has said on here, most of those dying would have died within 12 months. It is clear from the datasheet someone posted yesterday with hospital data for England, of the 21,317 deaths in the over 80s, 20,656 had pre-existing conditions. Interestingly, there have been slightly more deaths without pre-existing conditions in the 60-79 category (713) than in the over 80s (661), although that may be an artefact of a relatively larger numbers of over 80s dying in care homes.

Thanks to you and to calchas – I think you’ve hit the nail on the head – it really depends on how long the 80 year olds dying of covid were likely to live, and the answer is probably not very long

A deadly pandemic that has negligible effect on life expectancy doesn’t seem that deadly

Evening Standard: Have you got ‘lockholm syndrome’?.
https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/lockholm-syndrome-lockdown-home-comforts-b79303.html

Reading this, I’m starting to think that it is London itself holding the nation back. Talk about shit-housery

The Standard over the last few years has transformed itself into the paper of the urban metropolitan class.I wouldn’t take much notice of it.They give it away free and still no one reads it.

It’s good to help get the fire lit

But now you can’t buy any real coal. Just crap so full of cement it’s barely black to start with, and toxically sulphurous. Part of the spaffing Johnson’s commitment to saving the planet.

We have a soon-to-be-illegal wood burner. Apparently it’s a real crime against the environment so they will legislate against it.

Tiers until April? The ripple peaked before LD2, “cases” should be on the floor by the new year. But I’m sure there will be SAGE modelling saying million dead a day if we all go into Tier 1.

“I’m not comfortable with wearing a muzzle or being locked down”. Stick your tiers.

I just read a tweet by the reliably awful John Rentoul, praising Michael Gove for his (attached) statement “explaining” about “protecting the NHS”. Rentoul thinks it’s wonderful and he should have said it earlier and it should be outside the paywall bla bla bla.

But what Gove says here is just the same old shit as usual. Spewing lies while people sit obediently at home dying of treatable cancers.

Why are people like Rentoul (who may be a smug Blairite tosser but is at least reasonably intelligent, although I always beat him on the Saturday iQuiz, which is the only reason I visit his wretched Twitter feed) swallowing this? What am I missing here?

They are killing people, with the consent of Parliament

I call this HUNTING SEASON for old folks & gals.

And clearly NO ONE – not even the family members – gives a fuck.

For those REALLY DISTRACTED slaves…

This is the FINAL GOAL of the SRF & Billionaires (Billy G is just ONE of the Billionaires with more public visibility and a real profit and interest in reducing the HERD of modern moron slaves)

First major milestone 2030. So expect many more TOOLS to be deployed that will create the conditions for SILENT DEATHS. The ones that don’t catch the HERD’s attention and so it just remains calm and consuming (grazing!)

With all of the political morons complicit, everywhere

For those that aren’t aware of what SILENT DEATHS are… just one example!

Today’s newsletter asks that we support Peter Hitchens’ scheme and write to our MPs. I have a further suggestion. Let’s do this on a grand scale. Let’s write dozens of emails, to our MPs, Ministers, and anyone else involved whose email address we know. Attach graphs, charts, links to articles, videos, whatever, according to our own particular viewpoint and interest. Don’t lump them all together, put each item in a separate message, and let’s swamp the system! What do others think?

Well… I’ve been doing that (sending email’s) since the start of OPERATION CUVID. For what I know THEY don’t give a fuck about emails, just like they don’t give a fuck about street protests!

ONLY SOLUTION that will cause them to move course:

Execute several Jedburgh’s actions or nothing will change except the things the SRF & Billionaires via jesters want to CHANGE!

Depends what the aim is. Do we want them to actually consider the information? No chance of that at high volume.

jesters ONLY CONSIDER the ORDERS from the SRF & Billionaires.

jesters don’t listen to the sheeple baa’s!

What happened after the early November meeting between BJ and Bill Gates in DS10!

I think we are just an irritant to them now. They certainly won’t read high volume technical information.
I don’t disagree that we should email them but it should be short and sharp. I know my correspondence to my MP makes no difference at all whether detailed and well argued from a scientific view point or just a quick plea not to do more damage (sometimes with a polite assurance that if she supports the damaging measures I will no longer vote for her).
I can’t stay completely silent but I don’t delude myself she’s listening.

My thoughts exactly Steph.

It just needs a well written template. The only letter I’ve sent to my MP is a form I filled out on Liberty’s website and auto-fill did it all for me.

Overwhelm their servers.

Still think it’s not a conspiracy ?

Do you think he has any idea what badge anyone stuffs in his pudgy sweaty hand to wear?

Whoever is ‘managing’ him wouldn’t let him wear a neo nazi badge would they?

Who knows anything anymore?
I would have no idea what any of the pretty adornments they wear represent. I just wondered if he just takes whatever is given to him as he passes by on the way to the lectern.
He’s clueless about anything except himself I believe.

Right. Because when there’s a secret global conspiracy, what happens is the United Nations publishes the details and everyone gets a badge to wear.

It reminds me, once again, of Blackadder the Third, when a couple of actors are stitched up for supposedly conspiring to kill the Prince Regent – when all they’re actually doing is rehearsing “Macbeth”.

“Textbook, stuff again, you see. The criminal’s vanity always makes him make one tiny, but fatal, mistake. Theirs was to have their entire conspiracy printed and published in play manuscript form.”

Indeed.

Though my problem with it is the way it proves yet again that he is either a lying opportunist accomplice or an actual radical – the very opposite of a conservative in any meaningful sense. A conservative’s response to any proposal to “transform the world” (or, dare I say it, “build it back better”) based on some ideology-based balderdash should be open contempt.

The real problem we face is the utter cultural and political defeat of sensible conservatism by the forces of ideological radicalism, whether climate panic, antiracist and politically correct thuggery or coronapanicking nonsense.

The solution is not to surrender to it in order to get into office, as the “Conservative” Party does, but to fight to renew actual conservative scepticism as a real force for restraint and for good in our societies.

It’s not a conspiracy,it’s there in plain site.Our leaders have signed us up to all sorts of nonsense and now is time to pay the virtue signalling checks
Agenda21/30 is a series of goals that we are legally obliged to meet.
Covid 19 is just supplying the cover.
Ever wonder why windmills and cycle lanes are an appropriate response to a viral infection.

Do you follow Mark Window’s podcasts? I do.

Oh, I thought he’d come out.

I’ve been musing to myself about our natural desire to punish those that are responsible for this dreadful overreaction to the Covid outbreak.
Bear with me because this will be unpopular and I’m not sure how I feel about it myself. The question is how much do we just want this to stop and how much do we want it to stop and punish those responsible?
I know it’s not in our gift but I worry that fear of punishment when it stops keeps this going on longer by those who have just been stupid, lazy and easily led. I don’t include the cronyism and fraud which must be investigated.
Just thinking out loud. Thoughts?

Get the lampposts ready

No grey area there!

1980s protest song from The Style Council: A Gospel.

That is a matter for the law of the land; innocent until proven guilty.

This ends two ways.

One: The Globalist win, Population reduced to 2Bn or so over the next few years, Full on “Brave new word” which ends as a Fascist dictatorship.

Two: Populist revolt, Involving the death or incarceration of All Globalists, Media types, etc, which then descends into a Fascist dictatorship.

There is no 3rd way in which the life up till February ever comes back.

I am not in a good mood, and I honestly do not see this ending well.

I wish there was assisted suicide offered by the government

Don’t joke,that’s one of the exemptions to travelling abroad.

You mean assisted suicide FOR the government. I am one of the many only too willing to assist these monsters in dying.

Yes we were wondering last night if there were any assassins up for a crowd fund job

It is now either total human enslavemnt or the whole system is swept away.

It already is a Fascist Dictatorship. It’s just getting progressively worse.

Civil Courts, get their money. Reduce them to penury.

For me escaping our captivity is the primary goal. Nothing else can be achieved before that happens.

Those who have gone above and beyond – the PM, Hancock, Whitty, Vallance notably, probably Gove, probably others, should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to discourage any repeat and give due weight to the truth that this has been a knowing deception rather than an innocent mistake made in good faith.

How much further you go is tricky. There are precedents for this in places where there has been dictatorship and conflict and I suppose one ought to look at how it has been approached and decide which approach worked best.

“ I know it’s not in our gift but I worry that fear of punishment when it stops keeps this going on longer by those who have just been stupid, lazy and easily led.”

I think those who have been stupid, lazy and easily led are not the ones who are calling the shots and probably most of them still think they are doing the right thing. The men at the stop are most certainly not stupid, lazy and easily led in any way that excuses or mitigates what they have done.

I think I agree. Boris is stupid and lazy but he’s the PM for God’s sake so he shouldn’t have been pushed into this by SAGE. But I do suspect it’s his fear now that keeps it going.

He is not so stupid that he doesn’t understand the true nature of the “pandemic”.

Lazy, yes, but he has people to do the hard work for him and he’s not so stupid that he doesn’t know that.

No it’s his hubris. He isn’t big enough to apologise and say he made a mistake. He’s enjoying the power too much.

I still think that someone has some dirt on Boris that would embarrass him very much.

Surely Prime Ministers and Presidents are, and always have been, puppets to unions in the past and global capitalism to date.Twas ever thus..

Always an issue of tactics. Give the bad guys a way out to encourage them to run or go for broke and have them fight to the death. Sun Tzu referred to this in the context of battle as building a golden bridge for your opponent to escape across the river you have trapped him against.

In this country we generally prefer compromise, especially when the establishment are judging their own and have all been complicit – in that, this coronapanic disaster is like the Iraq War.

The dilemma also applies to the bad guys of course – do they fight to the end and go down hard, or climb down early and get off relatively lightly.

In this case, I’m personally going with no forgiveness and the witch hunt, safe in the knowledge that nobody’s listening to me anyway. That way I can afterwards honestly dismiss those who compromise as not doing so in my name, and hound the perpetrators myself whether or not they cave earlier than they could have gotten away with.

I think about this too, Steph. When people post here about lampposts and The List, it cheers up the part of me that is experiencing this horror show from the position of a persecuted and abandoned child. When my friends decline to meet me because they ‘don’t want to be part of a chain of transmission,’ I spit at them in my mind: ‘Collaborators.’

I believe in moral law. A social and political order more acceptably aligned with moral law must be reinstated. No amount of solitary psychological insight can counteract the real-world experience of living in a nation state that has banned or destroyed most of the relationships and activities that make my life meaningful, and stripped me, in law, of my rights of freedom of movement, association, and bodily autonomy.

But my friends are one of the things that I want to have back. If I destroy them in my mind, I won’t be able to be glad when they return. Constantly under attack from my culture, I slip these days frequently into a state of primed reactive hostility. I enter Waitrose ‘ready to blow’: woe betide the next person to challenge me over my masklessness. I might cut them down with the 2010 equality act, or opt for a stream of obscene invective.

I used to love Waitrose, laughable as that may sound. I liked to go on my way home from work, and sit in the cafe perusing the Telegraph (because it has Michael Deacon, and animal photos, and fashion journalism, and political opinions that I will not have heard from my academic colleagues). I was happy, having a coffee, reflecting on my day.

We must have a just social order, because it is what makes life in the human community viable. In its absence, we are faced with the challenge of preserving our best qualities in isolation, our capacity for a wellbeing that cannot but depend on the people around us.

Well written – made me think.

It’s a reasonable point, that after a certain point the potential penalty accumulated means you have nothing to lose, that your options become funding a narrative that gets you out, or gaining complete control of those who you’ve wronged so that they are unable to bring you to justice (or get revenge).

We’re already passed the point where playing along with the story lets us all ease out though, surely? They’ve had several opportunities to take an exit path, at least three, and instead they doubled down to (one might suppose) try and reap the rewards promised as part of the collateral damage.

At this stage they’ve already committed to the “lockdown forever so they can’t get us” stage. You can tell this because they are no longer even spinning the “vaccine then we’re done with this” story – it’s now a “vaccine but we’ll still have to keep the measures, plus add a certification and tracking infrastructure” story.

In truth, as soon as we entered lockdown in March (against all previous pandemic strategic plans and decades of science) it appears we’ve been in an ever-evolving story that exists only to perpetuate lockdown. Any carrots offered were simply to delay and diffuse active opposition until the next load of totalitarian sticks were firmly locked in place.

Stop Press: Kings Cross arrests are already happening

Are there any pictures yet?

Not necessarily a bad thing. One arrest ties up at least two officers

Eventually they run out of officers

Arrests for what?

This is terrible

Assembling in groups.

It’s a great day to be a criminal. If I was a burglar or a car thief I’d be on overtime today.

The government is showing its true colours. They have voted for Fascism. That should be the last straw.

I must say that I am just a little concerned that the Tory MPs opposing the tiers are only putting up a fight for their own constituencies (which is obviously the most important thing to them) and will be “bought off” by a reduction in their tier level, giving up any further opposition to the government.
I have emailed Mark Harper as leader of the CRG asking him to try to stop this from happening in order to keep some sort of pressure on the politburo & wonder if people thought this a good idea (along with emails to individual MPs)?

Get no replies at all from mine. He thought it was more important to attend the opening of a new local road crossing this week.

Spot on, I think. I too think many will roll over if they think they’ll get an adjustment for their constituency. Too many individuals bleating about fairness when they are missing the futility and illegitimacy of the whole ‘strategy’. Can’t hurt to point this out to MPs.

“Vote for me ! I got Walford Central down to tier 2 ! “

Are they seriously that deluded that they actually think anyone will vote for them ever again?

Maybe the deluded are those who think we will be allowed a meaningful vote in 2024.

It’s a show. They don’t care about the human tragedy Gov’t policies are causing

Yep. Everyone will be grateful for their substantial meal and a pint in a fortnight when really all they wanted was a pint.

It’s sickening irrelevance isn’t it, like the Captain and First Mate of the Titanic squabbling over what colour the lifeboats should be painted.

I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire which has a much lower infection rate than nearby Hull and is dropping. In fact our rate is just below that of Scarborough which is in tier 2. We have been put in tier 3 as part of the “Humber”. I don’t live in the Humber, no one does it’s an estuary. 20 years ago we overturned the ridiculous imposition of “Humberside” and returned to being the East Riding of Yorkshire. The virus appears to be giving some bureaucratic numpties the idea that they can resurrect the idea of Humberside, presumably because they’ll get more money or influence. and as a result we’re in tier 3 instead of tier 2. This is completely unacceptable.

Anything above Tier Zero anywhere is unacceptable

I nearly lived in the Humber, Barton upon Humber that had an identity crisis from Lincs to Humberside..spit! Tho, I did enjoy the ferry from New Holland to Hull, nostalgias not what it was…

Sue it’s madness I agree. I’m in East Riding too. Written to David Davis 4 times. Huge rural sparsely occupied rural county. FFS.

Government Proposes to Liberate Local Areas in Bid to Placate Rebellion
That’s like saying the Germans decided to liberate France after they got the shit kicked out of them in the Falise Gap

If any MP falls for that one they are both naive and shirking their responsibilities to their constituents and country more generally. He is neither good to his word, or any piece of paper he signs – ask the DUP.

Well said.

I should have also added, ask those on the other side of his previous marriage certificates.

That’s like the Germans conquering France in 6 weeks but allowing the South East to be in tier Vichy.

Isn’t it nice that politicians tell us what we can and cannot do on a daily basis. And the stupid read the rules so they can abide by them.

What’s really worse is that nobody is hiding the fact that SAGE are “allowing” and “prohibiting” and the government-in-name-only is letting them.

What have SAGE got on them?

sage did an IQ test on the cabinet!

They don’t need anything. Any death will be pinned on the Govt if they deviate too far from Sage advice. They simply can’t afford to give up the protection that doing as they are told affords them.

Wait until old people start to die from the vaccine.

And if that happens it can be hung on sage who will no doubt model that more elderly would die without the jab than will be finished off by it

Another hole they dug for themselves early on by bigging up SAGE

Anyway, SAGE have been clear that they don’t feel it is their job to look at wider impacts of measures – it is clearly the job of the Cabinet to do that

The PM could easily have said early on that the final decision rests quite rightly with the Cabinet, to judge the balance of harms and benefits

Absolutely. But he never wanted to take responsibility.

Nurse has her car stolen, which is bad enough, but….they had to get coronavirus in the story. It actually makes me feel sick reading it, the strategic scaremongering is really bad.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scum-steal-hero-nurses-car-23081978

So there’s now a hierarchy of value now in NHS workers, as if we didn’t know.
A nurse in neonatal ICU or dementia care would obviously be of less concern.

Good news! Gove has told rebel MPs not to “shirk their responsibilities” – in other words fall into line behind the cabinet. As well as proving what a complete arse he is, this will have the very desirable effect of making the said rebels dig their heels in.

As a statement, n ot to “shirk their responsibilities” cuts both ways.

Wonder what Mrs Gove will have to say in her Mail column tomorrow?

If I were her, I’d change the locks.

Even at this late hour Gove could have saved himself. Too late now

He is fully on board with Agenda 21/30

Interesting he seems to be chirping about this more than the PM and Hancock

Thought he looked very prime-ministerial in the pic.

Doubt he’d have the support. Government of National Unity?

National Socialism more like.

I was listening to the Tony gosling radio show last night, he was interviewing a Yorkshireman who lives in Hong Kong.

Some very scary stuff happening there. When eating in restaurants full track and trace via an app, if anybody who eat in the restaurant tests (false)+ everyone who was in the restaurant at the same time has to self isolate for 14 days.

If a resident of a tower block or a housing estate tests (false)+ the whole block/estate has to self isolate for 14 days.

Huge fines and 6 months in prison if anybody disobeys.

Social credits being rolled out, credits are awarded if people cross the road at a pedestrian crossing when the green man is lit and credits removed if they cross on red man. Credits awarded if people are nice to each other, and if they use bins and recycle.

Temperature checks compulsory in shops.

He is a virtual prisoner in his home as he refuses to comply (one of us). Trying to get out of the country.

Sadly, if he comes home, he won’t notice much of a difference.

Indeed, wonder what the plebs will think of it if they know what’s coming, not much probably as we are all in it together

This is living hell. Total control of the human body and the human soul. Wild animals have better lives

Death is preferable

You know what as a 43 year old man with a half decent job and a lovely fiance with a good job and a great life pre March PC (pre covid), we have both said the same*

Don’t worry folks we will keep fighting!!!

I too have thought that but we all have each other for support, and there is good news to encourage us.

The bastards won’t win. The human spirit is too strong

Very glad to hear you saying this DRW

Thank you CGL.

Credits for being nice to people – how does that work?

Who knows, probably smiling at someone or being polite, picked up on CCTV

This is a good overview of the social credit system in Mainland China – I don’t know how it’s being adapted to Hong Kong (indeed, I thought I read a while back that it would not be introduced there), but it’s Orwellian:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVkWokLqPOg

I used to work in China and I can see why they are trying to get people to behave, so to speak – many laws are not enforced very well (unless you are challenging the Party or the government) and there is no civil society or sense of community, largely due to the Party’s worries about any competition. Still, this is frightening and we obviously do not want anything like it here.

I have made an effort to stand back regarding all things China. Jingoism is toxic. However, fresh in my mind from several days ago is a news report of President Xi’s ambitions to establish QR code health passports around the world.

Anything that challenges my right to autonomy and freedom is aggression. No nation has the right to enforce such technology on humans, in essence forcing people to justify their existence. Immunity passports of any kind for daily life are balls and chains

Moscow look to be planning the same:

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/11/25/moscow-plans-expanded-social-credit-style-tracking-system-open-media-a72144

Don’t they all live under the kosh anyway? They must be used to no dissent, no freedom, no job of your choosing, surveillance etc etc etc mustn’t they?

We are witnessing the birth of Oceania,Eurasia and EastAsia

When I watched this I didn’t realise it was actually a documentary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive_(Black_Mirror)

And who is running Hong Kong now? The Chinese Communist Party.

Question for our American cousins. Last Thursday was Thanks Giving, I understand a lot of people travelled to see family for the holiday. Was it a subdued affair or did it appear normal? In other words are politicians “advice” being ignored or not?

Lots of reports it was ignored and millions travelled as normal.

Not sure about NY – Governor Cuomo wanted everybody buying a certain size of Turkey to sign legal documents and affidavits.

Letter dispatched to MP in protest at further lockdown.

http://www.WriteToThem.com makes it easy. Send it today

The Great Reset is NOT conspiracy theory but an agenda that will always be strives for by those in real power.

I applaud anyone who fights back against this barbarity.
Whatever your thoughts on theology for or against, those in real power believe in it and are using it to push further control.

PLEASE WATCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

Coming into London on the A40, I’ve passed FIVE full police vans hanging around at points between the M25 and Hillingdon

Was there a cafe?

Can any FS’s advise me where I can buy any anti lockdown car stickers from or give me a link please?
I have trawled the internet and the closest I have found are “anti lockdown/ support Trump” ones.
Thank you in advance.

Plenty of sellers on eBay will make and send bespoke stickers with any design you want. The lamp posts near me are full of them

Thanks, Tom.

Looks like there’s room for cuts in police funding, given the waste of resources here.

Plenty of “waist” on some of them.

This is what I’ve emailed to my MP (Robbie Moore) via the Write to Them site:

Dear Robbie Moore,

Please ensure that you vote against any proposed lockdown measures. Lockdowns kill people and businesses and they must end immediately.

This government is ruling by ministerial decree and diktat and is nothing short of a disgrace to democracy and is endangering public health.

I will consider a vote for lockdowns to be a vote for cruelty and a vote against fundamental human rights and will mean that I will never, ever vote for the Conservative party locally or nationally.

Yours sincerely,

I like that one. Short and to the point.

This man poses a reasonable question.

https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1332467695606968326

And this response thread looks like what might have been coined a conspiracy theory in normal times:

Erectile dysfunction? OK, I’m convinced.

It presumably means that Covid can’t be hereditary.

Made me laugh.

“But long covid”

Never an excuse for what is happening. End the lockdowns now.

Twitter is full of empty shells or bots; I wouldn’t even bother with it.

I went to my Twitter page yesterday. Haven’t been there for months. Saw all sorts of links that I never asked for. Decided to delete all of them: Huff Post, CNN, MSNBC and a whole host of others. Got a message at the same at the top of the page asking me ‘what happened’?

The more important question – do we have a choice?

Save the NHS so that they can carry on killing our elderly.
Sorry but I’m both sad and furious this morning.
Just learnt that two elderly ladies on a old peoples complex that we visit have died of/with covid. Both went into hospital for other treatments and both have caught covid in hospital and died inside a couple of weeks.

Truly shocking.

And maybe covid had nothing to do with it. I’m sorry for your sadness. We can’t have it both ways- we are either careful of accepting that covid is the only thing out there killing the vulnerable or we are not.

When we permit medical negligence on a national scale to occur without consequence the only reasonable expectation is that more medical negligence will occur. Now we just call it COVID and pretend its not happening.

Dear BBC employees, with your latest headlines parroting government propaganda, I am laughing at you. You are taking me down with you, but at least I am comforted by the knowledge that you are f*****g yourselves. Your actions are helping to:

• ruin the economy that pays your wages
• make the country less safe for you . Eventual power cuts, fuel shortages, roaming gangs of starving people and so on.
• shut down the health service for the real ailments you have rather than the imaginary one
• no pubs
• mediaeval dentistry is back!
• usher in an authoritarian, probably totalitarian regime under which you will suffer along with the rest of us
• separate you from your loved ones indefinitely
• make it so that you never breathe fresh air again from behind your mask
• make a daily testing regime a feature of your life
• make it so that you have to carry an identity card – just like East Germany

And a million other humiliations, irritations, threats to your wellbeing. Congratulations!

and losing their jobs as more people cancel their tv licence!

Cancelled mine years ago and dont let the twats in who sometimes knock at the door!

I’ll have a pint of Substantial Meal please guvnor!

Tegnell sidelined. Sweden reverts to Social Democrat type. My colleague when I worked there was reported anonymously by a student when he or she saw him go into a pub on a weeknight. They’ll love their new stasified existence. Welcome to the orthodox fold, Sweden. It took you four hundred years to swallow Christianity but only nine months to swallow covid Orthodoxy

What’s the story there?

I don’t have a DT subscription but the headline is roughly “Swedish covid guru sidelined as new cases rocket”

Here are the first three paragraphs:

The high-profile epidemiologist who led Sweden’s no lock-down strategy in the spring appears to be being sidelined by the government after his prediction that greater immunity would mean a lighter second wave proved badly wrong.

Anders Tegnell’s biweekly press conference was on Thursday pushed into the shade by an overlapping press conference fronted by Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, where new scenarios prepared by the Public Health Agency were announced.

“There’s certainly a split, and I’m pretty sure that many in the government have rather lost faith in the Public Health Agency,” said Nicholas Aylott, an associate politics professor at Stockholm’s Södertorn University.

I think the Sweden’s own accounts need to be read first.

Don’t trust a headline.
I heard sth yesterday, where the German newspaper had “28.000 new cases” as their headline. This being a German newspaper, you would assume it was 28k cases in Germany. Actually, they were reporting on Turkey, which was only made clear in the text.

Back in March the SAGE sub-committee of behavioural scientists advised the government to conduct a propaganda campaign against the people. They emphasised the need to use fear and emotive language to elicit compliance. The campaign appears to have been so effective that senior government ministers (especially, Gove, Hancock and Johnson) have come to believe it themselves. This is the problem the Conservative rebels need to address, rather than worrying about the “unfairness” (what an immature attitude that word reveals) of their constituents being placed in a particular tier. The only way for the rebels to ensure there is a significant change of policy is resort to the letters to Graham Brady route. In the first instance, merely informing Ten Downing Street that they are prepared to send in fifty-five letters could well be sufficient to persuade Boris Johnson to change course; but if that was not sufficient, they should send in the letters and trigger a leadership contest. In such a contest, the issue of government responses to the virus would be centre stage and there would be space for the argument to be made that people should be simply offered accurate information and appropriate advice and be able to make their own risk and reward judgements: a traditional Tory position. Even if any candidate making such a case failed to win the leadership, the argument would nonetheless occupy a central place in public debate, and that in itself would, at the very least, temper some of the more authoritarian impulses of those who wish to combat the virus at any cost.

Completely agree. I have been writing this on other sites, and to my MP. It’s the only thing now – Doris will merely promise the world and renege on the promise.

On 23 March Boris told us that the lockdown measures were only for three weeks, in order to flatten the curve, so the NHS would not be overwhelmed. Now he is suggesting the lockdown measures (in one form or another) will be in place until next March. Three weeks, a year: apparently for Boris they are the same thing. But even the next March end point is probably no more likely than the original three week end point. Unless this madness is recognised as madness, it will continue indefinitely.

If it is vindicated on the vaccine, it almost certainly is.

Most likely. They’re having so much fun being sadistic with people they don’t know.

The use of violence and intimidation against a civilian population in order to further political aims. If only we had a word for such behaviour and laws against it.

Words that spring to mind include: terrorism. and crimes against humanity.

I seem to recall that the Nuremberg Tribunal sentenced Julius Streicher to death for having produced propaganda that served to justify the policies of the German state.

Streicher was stupid, foul-mouthed, ugly, coarse and cruel.
The BBC would have loved him.

The notion that he was stupid is hardly tenable, unless one takes the view that the vast majority of our species are stupid (which would denude the word of any specificity). He was a school teacher, a decorated army officer, a politician, a journalist and editor. This is hardly the cv of a stupid person.

State-sponsored terrorism.

It happened for many years in Northern Ireland. And then as the joke went around where I grew up, Normal Tebbitt became the fastest reader of all time.

Going through 4 stories in a second.

It’s called high treason, I believe.

While I appreciate the words of people like Ian Duncan Smith regarding the lockdown, it’s difficult to take him and others like him seriously while they make no mention of the Great Reset .
