For the Fallen

To mark the last day of 2020, this post is dedicated to all those whose lives and livelihoods have been lost, diminished or tainted by our nascent, deeply illiberal and socially, economically and psychologically destructive lockdown societies; for all those whose jobs and businesses have been destroyed; those whose medical conditions have been left undiagnosed; those whose cancers have been left untreated whilst the government ‘saves the NHS;’ those whose aspirations have been crushed; whose financial lifelines and supports have been laughed at, ripped up and thrown to the wolves by well-paid, cosseted and conceited scientific bureaucrats; those who’ve seen loved ones die long before their time at the hands of rescheduled and/or cancelled NHS appointments; for those citizens out on the streets exercising their democratic right to protest against lockdown who’ve been roughed up by the police; for the young woman in Victoria State, Australia, strangled to the floor by a policeman for the ‘crime’ of not wearing a mask; for the heavily pregnant woman led away from her home in handcuffs on a charge of promoting an anti-lockdown event on a Facebook page; for all those who’ve been fined for upholding the most basic tenets of any self-respecting liberal democracy – civil society, laughter, human touch, communion; for those whose elderly relatives have been left to die alone in care homes, bereft of the love and attention that would have eased their passing; for the pain and the hurt felt by those who never got to say goodbye to a loved one; for the children who’ve been left psychologically scarred by an education system now in thrall to semi-functional neurotics; for the university students being taught to fear the unknown, to look before they leap, to strip the joy out of life and to replace it with a risk assessment, to cede personal responsibility to Authority and to always value Security over and above Freedom; for all the women trapped at home with abusive partners; for the children who social workers can’t see on Skype video calls; for those whose mental health has deteriorated, who feel irreparably broken, who’ve got to thinking that they’ll never be able to find their way back to who they once were; for the people who lie awake at night worrying about where the next mortgage payment is coming from; to those who, at some point this year, have felt that they’ve had nowhere to turn but The Samaritans; and to all those troubled souls who’ve slipped unnoticed through the cracks of our desiccated society, and then out into one last lonely, bewildering descent into silence.

We won’t forget. We won’t forgive. There will be a reckoning.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;

They sit no more at familiar tables of home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England’s foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,

Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,

To the innermost heart of their own land they are known

As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust

Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,

As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,

To the end, to the end, they remain.

“For the Fallen,” Robert Laurence Binyon.

Amen!

New Tiers Eve –
Furious Sir Desmond Swayne condemns Boris Johnson’s lockdown chaos: Christmas ghost!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NC3mr2WRa8

Look at how many MPs are there to listen to this condemnation – the chamber is practically empty and none of the main players are present.

Local elections are apparently still going ahead – make sure you spoil your paper with a written message that you do not support a deeply corrupted rigged system.

I can’t see that useless blather is going to change much.

Quite the reverse.

You could add the woman arrested at home for the crime of filming ‘nothing happening’ at Gloucester Royal Infirmary.

Videos posted by Northumbrian Nomad late yesterday.

And it was on suspicion of a public order offence. Not a violation of lockdown rules. Not a violation of curfews. Not a violation of social distancing. (Not that any of those rules exist.) But on “public order offence”… She disturbed the “public order”… Because that’s what they’re afraid of. The people waking up and breaking the tyrannical order that was imposed on us.

My early morning was somewhat cheered by watching a couple of vids about Savonarola and the Bonfire of the Vanities.
In the absence of an effective government in medieval Florence the old miseryguts lied about having Divine revelations about the wicked sins of the population and how they should make pointless sacrifices to avoid the wrath of God.
The people followed him for quite a while until they very suddenly tired of it all at which point they turned on him.

Here’s hoping.

Ah, just a year before the end of the middle ages (according to my Harmsworth encyclopaedia). An age that was probably rather more humane than our current tiers of hell. I’m pretty sure people would’ve been allowed to comfort their grieving mother at a funeral. And they had proper epidemics in those days.

Tom Wolfe’s book highly recommended as is his even more relevant Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers (1970, brilliantly prescient) . I feel the Carthaginians sacrificing (finally) their own children (rather than the children of the poor they had paid for) to Ba’al Hammon is a more likely precedent. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2014-01-23-ancient-carthaginians-really-did-sacrifice-their-children

We can only hope that we will have our Savonarola moment!

We need a political opportunist like Johnson yo come along, tell the truth and dislodge him from power.

I haven’t seen that person yet. Where are they?

There is also the Xhosa cattle killing movement:

https://anti-empire.com/the-xhosa-cattle-killing-movement-the-forerunners-of-the-lockdown-fanatics/

“To the end, true believers never renounced their faith. They simply starved to death, blaming the failure of the prophecy on the doubts of non-believers”

That’s it. That’s the parallel. Thank you. Hadn’t thought of that.

Slightly out of date, but how did Camerons “Bonfire” of quangos go?

It rained.

Don’t know. Did he give them more money?

The Snitch that stole Freedom.

We are living in a very dangerous country now, with no freedom to express the truth.

I truly weep for thought of the future.

Yes, it’s far more serious than most people are prepared to admit to themselves.

I’d like to know who it was that alerted the police in the first place and what their complaint was. I see in the replies to the videos on Twatter has one or two deeply unpleasant pro-lockdown zealots who boast that the woman is not so cocky now that she has been arrested; no acknowledgement of the reason she was [wrongfully] arrested.

As for the police – this is effectively the same tactic as what they’ve been seen doing at anti-lockdown protests: pouncing on people at random and hitting them hard. It’s a shock tactic to drive fear into the broader population.

This was appalling behaviour by our new politicised Police. There was no offence (I have checked the Public Order Act 1986). I hope the lady concerned sues for wrongful arrest.

There should be a public outcry about this, but there won’t be.

Is this something the FSU might take up?

There won’t be a public outcry because the BBC and Sky won’t report it.

For convenience:

Woman is arrested in her own home for filming empty Gloucester Royal Infirmary:

https://twitter.com/Teqmock/status/1344277606594699271?s=20

Thank you. I was wrong, by the way, it’s Gloucester Royal Hospital.

Thank you for bringing our attention to this in the first place – I wasted no time in sending the links to my Coronafied dad, who insisted on having all the windows open during Christmas Day and that we all social distance. It almost ruined what will undoubtedly be our last Christmas celebration, since next year it will likely be completely outlawed.

I asked him in the email if he can point me in the direction of a mainstream news outlet that is reporting the story of this woman being arrested in her own home for showing the truth about our hospitals.

Known as GRH locally My wife retired from GRH two years ago, Debbie Hicks filmed herself in Physio outpatients, the shop and cafe , all of which are shut on Sundays when she was there. She later went into A+E waiting room, went outside Cardiology outpatients. I am a lockdown sceptic, but all she has done is show her ignorance of how GRH functions. I deplore her arrest, presumably to try and shut her up, but supporting her weakens our case for stopping lockdown, since she is obviously talking bollocks (to anyone who actually knows the hospital.

A & E is always empty on a Sunday – really?, you sounded plausible until you came out with that one.

A similar video has just been posted showing another empty hospital – the guy recording it is a legend, standing up to the bullying police who, suspiciously, are standing at the entrance:

https://twitter.com/i/status/1344670876516626432

Amen, amen.
Every conniving zombie, every horrible Covid thug, every evil, corrupt totalitarian oppressor, should be made to read this out loud, ten times a day, until they know it by heart: what they have done.

The Bozzer: “We’re having our cake and eating it”.
I leave my fellow sceptics to comment, I’ve lost the will to live (temporary)

Some one else appears to have eaten my cake.

I don’t like dried fruit anyway and as the Bozzer must be the biggest “fruit cake” in the history of the world, I haven’t changed my mind.

I don’t like cake much. Can I have freedom instead?

Thank you

Hear! Hear!!!

I was lost for words as well!

What a wonderful post. I wish every MP and every person enthusiastically calling for more lockdowns would read this.

A wonderful post, thank you. Balm for the soul. Sums up what we all feel here but are unable to say with such eloquence.

Every member of SAGE, every member of the Cabinet, and every member of Parliament should be made to read it.

Lets all send it to our MPs, if Fred is ok with that.

Agree.

Thank you for that.

I seem to have something in my eye as it’s watering slightly and I may need to blow my nose, excuse me a moment….

Well composed , sums up where we are now ! Many more people in a far worse position due to lockdowns than the virus , We need to get LS into the mainstream asap ! How can we help Toby to do it ??..

Fred, when this madness ends and those monsters (no other word will do) are held to account, your words will go down in history alongside Churchill’s speeches,the American declaration of independence and the Gettysburg address.
To think that the MSM and the collaborators call us sceptics conspiracy theorists and ill informed selfish morons who are guilty of “appalling” behaviour.

Very moving post thank you..

The best cri de coeur I’ve heard for a very long time. Thank you Fred (I’ve quoted it verbatim on Guido Fawkes website, btw).

Beautifully put, my friend. Every single day my heart goes out to the countless victims of this regime’s disastrous and monstrous diktats.

Well said. It made me cry

Terrific post, Fred.

Agree with all of the above, superb!

Me too. Heartbreaking

It’s all a bit strange, isn’t it…?

A vaccine that, in my ignorant opinion, sounds a lot like CRISPR… And who is world leader in CRISPR? Yep, that’s right. China. And this vaccine is pushed heavily in western countries only… No mention of vaccinating Africa, or the middle east, or Asia… A vaccination campaign promoted by people with a history of eugenics and population control. The same people that have been pushing this pandemic on us. The same people that have been lobbying for years for uncontrolled migration into Europe and for population replacement… And the biggest beneficiaries? China, again.

Funny how these things seem to tie together… It wouldn’t surprise me if this vaccine will lead to decreased fertility. Not a lot. Just enough to place it a little bit under replacement rate. 1.9 or 1.8. And it will be hidden by the much higher migrant reproduction rate. And most governments have conveniently stopped reporting these kinds of statistics broken down by race or ethnicity.

Sure, i am probably wrong. All i know is that if this is what they were actually doing, they would act and behave exactly like they are currently.

Hope you had a good Christmas. Hope you have a great New Year’s Eve. And here’s to a 2021 which will topple the secret governments of the world.

The only people who will have a great New Years Eve are those who flagrantly breach the impositions of hancock the mental gimp by joining together for Illegal house parties and good luck to them.
If any of the residents of other flats in my building do so I will knock on their door at 5 to midnight with a bottle in hand.

Karen, if you can get to Ilkley, you’re welcome to join me.

Thank you for inciting me to flout tosser hancocks silly rules but at my age I don’t travel well.

My brother in law is transporting his various mates to his house in the back of his transit van, to fool the stasi.

In the 1970s me and my mates used to get taken home from Thursday evening swim club in the back of someone’s uncles Evening Standard van, via the chippy.
The uncle would get arrested these days but it never did us any harm.

We used to transport people back to the Valley from Hollywood in the trunk (boot), We stopped once in awhile to make sure they were okay.

We can at least make a start in going after the eugenicist, callous, profit-driven pharmaceutical companies that want to take over our lives. I’ve said for some time that if people learn nothing else from this tragedy, I hope they learn at least that there’s no such thing as “the science”.

Our Christmas wasn’t so bad despite everything, and we managed to have our carol singalong yesterday. Ten of us conspirators gathered in a house from 5 or 6 different households, forgetting about masks/social distancing/no touching and all the other Orwellian nonsense for the evening, belting out carols. It really made me feel human again.

Now to decide if I will still go on my bird watching trip in the “tier 4” North. And what to do if I have trouble with the authorities over it. Am I really likely to be stopped by the police? And what the hell is tier 5?

Hi Hugh, I’ve just been to the Highlands and back (from West Yorkshire). I carry 2 pieces of paper – if an officer pulls me over, the first says “sorry I have lost my voice. I have a valid reason for travel to do with mental health. I am afraid I cannot tell you any more.” The second says “I cannot accept that fixed penalty. Here is my address should you wish to take this further.”

That’s brilliant!! I’m taking your idea!

Tier 5 is the one that comes before tiers 6, 7, 8 . . . .

Gee, they can count to 8.

There is a human race,my dear friend but no other, outside of the Olympics that is. Your racist rhetoric has got in the way of the valid point you almost made.

I don’t particularly agree with much of what Cristi said (though the Chinese seem to have played us for fools) but where’s the racism?

“ There is a human race,my dear friend but no other, outside of the Olympics that is. “

There clearly are such things as races, as everyone not in the grip of political indoctrination to the contrary recognises, much as they recognise night and day. Even the medical profession routinely recognises it every day when they address genetics-based racial differences in susceptibility to various medical conditions such as sickle cell anemia.

Why do you seek to pretend otherwise? Can you not just discuss issues around race and “racism” rationally and honestly? Or ignore them, if you find them too uncomfortable to discuss honestly and openly? The reasonable scope for discussion would be around whether and to what degree the incontrovertible facts of race has any particular importance, and what the mechanisms might be. Arguing that its significance in most areas is limited or even non-existent is one valid extreme position. Flat denial is just irrational.

The real issue of interest, though, is how so many came to have been indoctrinated into the self-evidently counter-factual dogma that you espoused there. For that we have to look at decades of indoctrination in all cultures of the US sphere, especially, via media and education.

What racist rhetoric?

And i find it kinda funny that i make no mention of race, but here you are, talking about race. Why are you so obsessed with race? Are you assuming all migrants have a particular race? That sounds kinda racist to me

Most likely the trigger was your reference to migration and reproduction rate. Obviously that can as easily be a reference to culture as to race, but antiracist dogmatists tend to have a knee-jerk response to anything relating to migration.

Political protection of mass immigration was, after all, one of the primary driving forces behind the C20th indoctrination in antiracist dogmas, pushed by the left for political advantage and by big business in order to undercut indigenous labour and conservatism.

One race, The Human Race.

Style Council, the 80s, A Gospel.

This is absurd. A ‘racist’ is someone who discriminates against others *based on their race* and/or the belief that (the ‘racist’) is superior based on the characteristic of race.

1. Nothing Cristi said would qualify as ‘racist’.

2. On your own terms, there’s no race other than the human race, so how on earth could Cristi, a human being, discriminate on the basis of another’s humanity? If the Chinese (note here that Cristi did not single out ‘the Chinese’ as a people) are not a race but part of a wider human race then what does it mean to accuse Cristi of engaging in ‘racist rhetoric’? Is Cristi somehow ‘anti-human’?

3. On (2), your argument is both absurd and self-defeating.

Why have you brought racism into this discussion?

Your bigoted conspiracy theory bs is a massive hindrance to the antilockdown cause. You can think what you like but please express it somewhere else, not here.

I swear these people know nothing about tactics or optics

I don’t particularly agree with much of what Cristi said (though the Chinese seem to have played us for fools) but where’s the bigotry?

And where should such theories be expressed but in the comments section of a website run and paid for by the founder of the Free Speech Union?

If you disagree with the post, say why, rather than advocating censorship.

I tend to agree such theories are a hindrance, but I don’t see anything wrong with them being discussed here among people who largely agree on the wrongness of lockdowns but disagree on what’s behind it. The audiences are different.

Perhaps if Cristi had said the CCP rather than The Chinese it would have been less divisive.

Perhaps

I think “The Chinese” in general is fairly obvious shorthand for “The Chinese state” – AKA the CCP

Interpreting the post as some kind of racial slur on Chinese people seems disingenuous

I never said “the Chinese”. I said China, which is a country. A political state. Not a people.

Oops, sorry.

Anyway, I can’t see how any reasonable person could characterise your post as racist or bigoted.

I never said “the Chinese”. I never said “the Chinese people”. I said “China”.

Can’t you see how pathetically sensitive we have become as a people not to offend? He said absolutely nothing to warrant such a response. Political correctness was instilled in us in advance of the Great Reset so we’d be more obedient. I find it amazing that we’re so damned compliant – especially people on this site.

The Taiwanese and HK are after all ethnically Chinese, though perhaps people would be assumed to take it for granted that he wasn’t referring to them.

Your bigoted bs is a massive hinderance to any sort of conversation one might have. You can think what you like but please express it somewhere else, not here.

What we do here is openly discus issues. If you have any issue with what i said, you are more than welcome to point it out and we can discuss. But when you come here with vague bs, accusing me of implausible acts, not pointing to anything specific, your comment is a waste of time and space.

You remind me of the sort the BBC ushers into their Question Time audience to try and give the sense that the country as a whole agrees with political correctness. You don’t have the authority to censor others because you don’t agree with them – our tyrannical government are doing a fine job snuffing out freedom of speech without your help.

Do not comply!

Blimey, hancock acted just in time.
Waking up in tier 3 to find that TWO elderly people have sadlidied of the Covid in just Two days in an NHS region of barely 1.8 million souls.

Of?

I was sloppy, it actually says ‘covid deaths’.

Was there ever any doubt?

Anger In Aylesbury. Bucks Herald.
“Aylesbury resident’s anger grows as
‘Anti lockdown’ protesters gather maskless in market square.

The protesters plan to gather (at midday) every Monday until lockdowns are lifted” (Bingo – Own Goal).

“Just yesterday a group of 20 or 30 gathered without masks in the square” (since when has anyone been required to wear masks outdoors?)
“This is as the UK recorded a whopping 41,385 new cases” (‘whopping’ ?)

“The protesters are claiming that the virus is a ‘hoax’ made up to infringe on civil liberties” (strawman).

“Yesterday a local person who did not wish to be named said
‘A group of 20-30 unmasked and un-socially-distanced people blocked Market Street to protest the ‘draconian’ government response to a ‘hoax’ virus”

(Normal people don’t say ‘protest the . . .’, they say ‘protest against the . . .’ unless you are a journalist or an American.)

“While, of course, the right to free speech must be defended” (here we go)
“The pointed lack of mask wearing and social distancing etc. and etc.”

Outdoor masks coming soon folks.

As soon as they roll out the school testing and spike the numbers again…masks outside for sure. Once again the plot to this B movie is pretty predictable.

Make sure you’ve all got your lanyards ready. And before someone says we don’t need lanyards to remain maskless, I completely agree. However, once ‘they’ mandate masks outdoors the sheeple will feel empowered beyond all reason to attack the maskless.

It will be like something straight out of a zombie film; ie, any one who moves different, acts different, looks different will instantly become noticed and a target for a full blown Karen attack, of which I suspect there will be an increase.

The zombies disgust me far more than the parasitic politicians…at least you know the latter are a bunch of conmen selling snake oil. The former have given up every scrap of dignity to cower from the sniffles. Pathetic.

The zombies disgust me far more than the parasitic politicians…at least you know the latter are a bunch of conmen selling snake oil. The former have given up every scrap of dignity to cower from the sniffles. Pathetic.

Yep. At least with the politicians you know what you’re getting and if you’re cynical and wise then you’re aware that politicians actually hold the people they’re supposed to serve in contempt.

With the zombies they can spin it as being “caring” and wanting to keep you “safe” but that caring face is only skin deep. The ugly face is underneath and their real selves.

I agree that if outdoor maskurbation becomes compulsory wearing lanyards would be sensible, within stores most people know that they are on CCTV.

“Maskurbation should be voluntary “.

That’s a T- shirt slogan!

New Tiers Eve – Furious Sir Desmond Swayne condemns Boris Johnson’s lockdown chaos: Christmas ghost!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NC3mr2WRa8

Sir Desmond is complaining about the government abusing parliamentary process.

The Times is warning that they are using Brexit legislation to enable the same thing.

Everything this government does evades scrutiny.

They already have used sweeping powers without seeking parliamentary approval. These people will never be satisfied.

From the main article
‘Sarah Vine in the Daily Mail says “It’s madness to treat our schools like nail bars”.

They are not, in tier 3 Personal Care businesses remain open, presumably that includes nailbars, hair extensions and tanning salons.

around 1 in 3 people with Covid have no symptoms so will be spreading the virus without realising.

and so the massive LIE continues! Asymptomatic people do not spread the virus:

Asymptomatic transmission is biologically implausible ~ Dr Michael Yeaon ~

If we were really in the middle of a deadly pandemic why would it be necessary for the government to lie in advertising and why does a deadly pandemic need an advertising campaign.

well, a large proportion of our gifted, state-schooled woof are (only) qualified for nail bars, or tattoo parlours. Cut Mr Vine some slack!

Probably posted yesterday but I was busy so didn’t read the comments.
Latest Ons death rates for the past six weeks for England and Wales, just over 1000 up on the first six weeks of the year.
182 a week up out of 60 odd million.
So death rates are basically the same as January at the moment, considering we have had 30,000 plus covid cases a day for weeks on end, kind of sums up the massive overreaction.
Social media and MSM led snowflake pandemic with a weak and Lilly livered government. Gross incompetence and wasting hundreds of billions which could have been spent on sorting out better care homes and overall elderly care, looking after our pensioners rather than wasting on apps, tracing and every other level of stupid.
My view for well over six months, really since the start.

Prior to March this year I had no idea how many people died on average and so it has been a strange 9 months as I have become an avid follower of death data! The general public are completely spooked by any mention of death and so really any death figures need to be presented in perspective and context but this is rarely done.
Working in wildlife conservation one of the measures of population success is stable or growing populations, which involves comparing births and deaths.
The ONS have published live birth figures for the first 9 months of 2020, the full years figures will not be out until Jan/Feb 2021 but even so the prediction is that by the end of 2020, despite all the ‘covid deaths’, there will have been between 10,000 to 20.000 more live births than registered deaths in England & Wales. With my conservation hat on this is an indication of a stable and slightly increasing population. As a pandemic this makes Covid compare stangely with Spanish flu which caused a dip in population numbers and the Black Death which devastated populations.
Governments should react to the overall long term trends and comparisons not the daily scary figures that are current causing so much turmoil.

This virus that’s been going round will have little or no impact on long term population trends.

I should add that there have been rather a lot of dead births as well, and probably even more this year with all the unhinged restrictions we’ve been suffering. Those of us who worry about that sort of thing may find it a strange fact that there have been well over twice as many dead births as (officially claimed) cv deaths and no one bats an eyelid. Yet we have a virus going around that causes less excess deaths than in 2008 and suddenly we have to lose a slew of basic human rights…

Well, good night.

120k stillbirths ? I have no idea if that is high or not but I previously reported how, at the beginning of lockdown, the sister of a young woman suffered a stillbirth.

She found that the cause of death was given as Covid and it was only because the father in law was ‘someone in the military’ that the family were able to get this changed.

The ONS report that the still birth rate for the first 9 months of 2020 is 3.9 per 1000 live births. Their comment on live births is;
Based on birth notification data, in the first three quarters (Jan to Sept) of 2020 , there were 464,437 live births in England and Wales;

For the record, over 200k killed or died naturally before (or during) birth last year. Just saying, like…

But it’s the “daily scary figures” that have traction with a selfish and cowardly proportion of the public.

From May onwards it was obviously a vanity project for BJ, Hancock and the doom goblins of Sage. Lots of publicity, power and money in it for them.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

A lot of noise yesterday, but as shown above one piece of real data stands out, from the ONS stats published in the morning:

Week 51 population and age adjusted excess deaths: 501.

Week 18 ended 17th April population and age adjusted excess deaths: 10,979.*

In other words, there’s very little going on: forget the new variants, the schools are being closed for no reason, the government should spend on the NHS some of the £320bn it’s wasted on repairing the disaster it’s created – there were more beds occupied in December 2018 than now. The government is a complete disgrace and their press conferences should be a laughing stock.

Over the year as a whole, excess deaths are around 25-30,000, 5-6%, and that includes all the deaths of those that couldn’t or were too scared to use the NHS.

• Detail: Total deaths England and Wales week 51: 13,011, average of last 5 years: 11,548. Excess deaths for week 1,463, adjusted for population growth and ageing (my calculation based on 8.33% growth in over 70 population): 501

Compare this to the worst week of the year –  week 18 ended 17 April: Deaths 22,351, last 5 years’ average 10,497, excess 11,854, adjusted for population and age: 10,979

Week 18 excess deaths 11k
Week 51 excess deaths 500

Yet fergusob, handjob and bozo still telling us it’s worse than in March-April and co-opting medics and hack journos to confirm it.

The post below by Colin being a classic example

The worst week of the year coincided with the worst air pollution the south of England has witnessed for years – and my posts on Facebook and other social media at the time were taken down at a time when elderly people were being taken into hospital suffering from a respiratory illness.. it’s so strange that this has been ignored as it must have had at least a partial effect on the high number of excess deaths.

I believe there is something in that. Modern medicine is almost totally dominated by the Pasteur Germ Theory, with nasty bacteria and viruses making us ill.

But the absolute proof for it is shakier than most doctors would care to admit. It also has less explanatory power than they like to think too.

Bechamp’s Terrain Theory is largely discredited by modern medicine but it has some explanatory power. It sees viruses and bacteria as an outcome of illness rather than a root cause.

Adherents of that approach would then point to high pollution levels in northern Italy and Wuhan as reasons for the April epidemics there. They might claim specific one off climate related events as triggers too. This approach could then be applied more fully to look for explanations that are not fully based on virus transmission between humans. However, to even suggest this is considered heresy by modern medicine.

However, most orthodoxies are wrong. My suspicion is that there is far more sense in Terrain Theory than modern medicine cares to acknowledge. For example, the underlying reason for seasonality of the flu virus is still not understood. Terrain Theory would look for different seasonal related reasons that affect the body.

Well they do afmit it sometimes, there was that little girl who died from an asthma attack “caused” by air pollution from the south circular.

It’s much the same with “genetic” diseases which strangely change in incidence, there must be environmental factors affecting expression of the genes.

Ivor Cummins has commented that most of the afflicted in Northern Italy had catastrophically low Vit D levels, which has a huge effect on thenbodies ability to fight off deleterious conditions possibly including air pollution.

While I am unable to dispute any of the facts stated in this article, it is so packed with panic triggers and well-targeted button pushing that as a writer and editor myself, I suspect that it has been written by a committee, or worse, an AI program : https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/coronavirus-nhs-hospitals-doctors-nurses-covid-b1780398.html

Probably used one for March and added a few seasonal pointers.I saw an interview on Sky last night with a nurse saying all most the same things.Its a script they are reading from.
The government did not have the right to take away our liberty to protect a failing state institution,we should never forget that

Yes, didn’t think of recycled button-pushing. That would explain the « masked author » … or did the photographer not have a zoom lens that day, and had to take the photo from 1 yard distance ?

Watching Sky news I felt if I had been transported back 9 months.This is the big push to ensure take up of the vaccine.

That point is put across with the subtlety of a sledgehammer at the end of the article

BBC R4 yesterday spent 45 minutes following the 9am news rehashing all the early Covid horror stories including tearful frontline workers and relatives of the sadlidied even though it was becoming clear that most would have died this year anyway.

Couldn’t sleep last night and scrolled through R4 to find sth to listen to. To my horror I found a program “How to vaccinate the world”, interview by Tim Hartford with Bill Gates.
As I said, I wanted to sleep, so did not listen to it.
An old program, as at this time of year they recycle content.

Can’t believe we’re already at the end of the year but still no end with this living nightmare on sight.

Sinead Murphy’s article is spot on and well worth reading. I think what I’ve found really upsetting this year is how my mental health has taken a battering and realising what the people I know can be like when push comes to shove – callous, cruel, insensitive and false.

To be civil and professional with them will take every fibre of my being.

Of course my own work troubles aren’t over as after the New Year we will learn who gets the chop. And given how the government is reluctant to open everything up which will mean that very likely there will be more redundancies in the pipeline.

As I’ve said before, it will be our scared duty to remind a great many people of their cruelty, cowardice and allowing this tyranny to happen. They should never be allowed to forget how they aided and abetted all this.

Mankind took thousands of years to get from the Stone Age through to the Enlightenment and beyond.

And about a week to go all the way back again.

Good riddance to 2020. God knows what’s coming in 2021.

We got almost 3 months of freedom at the beginning of 2020. No guarantee we even get that in 2021.

Some people may have seen the video of the woman filming Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. According to this article she has been arrested.
Woman arrested in connection with video filmed at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital – Gloucestershire Live

The video can be seen here.

How and at what point is the infectious variant or strain determined for those who have tested positive?

Can this be done for lateral flow tests?

The government charts include the words “new variant compatible” for the series. I don’t know exactly what this means, but it does imply to me that it is a guesstimate. Possibly related to one of the PCR target RNA strands bring absent in the new strain. Maybe someone with more knowledge can comment.

Some people may have seen the video of the woman filming Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. According to this article she has been arrested.

I can’t post a link, but check out GloucestershireLive and search for “Woman arrested”. Also search Summit News “A woman in the UK was arrested”

She’ s been bailed to 21st January. Here’s the offending video. https://www.bitchute.com/video/RK2SX9mBwDI5/

I looked at it . The place is totally deserted.The video has had over 200 thousands viewers already. Perhaps if the muffinheads at Gloucester Police had not been so silly, it would not have attracted so much interest.
Now there’s a thought. Could it be that embedded in Gloucester police station there is a sceptic inspector who saw a chance to strike a blow for sanity?

Oh yes, the Streisand Effect

Been exactly the same at my major regional hospital for weeks despite them not closing whole departments to utilize as ITU as they did in March-April.

A few days ago I posted some pictures of retail units that have closed since lockdown.
In the Shopping Centre there are complete strips of empty units mostly former hospitality outlets but I didn’t photograph those.

The Centre is owned by Land Securities and I expected to be harassed by Security Guards if I took said photos or at least be recorded on CCTV.

From the main article
The anonymous Track’n’Trace operative says “it’s obvious most people can’t be bothered to pick up the phone . . .”

Not exactly, most people make a conscious decision not to answer ‘unidentified caller’ because they know it is most likely to be Track’n’Trace and they don’t want to be told to self isolate because of a passing contact with someone who might or might not have the Covid of which they are not really scared anyway.

“Problems Of Medical Martial Law Part 27”

The numbers are on public record and can easily be pre-blocked

The T&T person said the people not answering the phone are the ones having had a test.
So they obviously do not want to make live miserable for their contacts. Wonders why they did a test in the first place, unless their employer or a school “forced” it on them.

Why are my comments being deleted?

I’ve seen people mention missing comments but often they have found them again.

I doubt there’s censorship – lots of posts here that would probably be deleted elsewhere for violating many rules are left to stand here – the people who run this site believe in free speech.

Try posting again?

Waht were you posting?

The BMJ has a research paper which shows a positive correlation between flu jab recipients at the beginning of this year and ‘covid’ deaths – this could be correlation rather than causation as many elderly people are probably more likely to have a flu jab and to be victims of flu fatalities – or there could be some more sinister side to this.. anyone else seen / heard this?

Saw that on the Bernician website too

https://thebernician.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d15706cafc460fd76074a0069&id=8c64f9510a&e=f858d86c41

I believe that repeated flu vaccinations for a period of 4 or 5 years raises the risk of dementia by a massive amount. Strange that when someone dies shortly after a vaccination the excuse is that ‘were old’ and yet they don’t say the same when they die of flu. Many, myself included, think that vaccination for the elderly is inappropriate as their immune systems aren’t robust. This leads to autoimmune problems.I wonder if they will count those dying after a Covid-19 vaccine as a Covid-19 death? Lol!

Recent flu jabs and the pneumonia jab was one theory for the high death rate in Italy.
These are compulsory in Italy for anyone over 60.

Predicted long ago, and this was one of the reasons.

Happening now in Mexico from what I understand with peopel dying from covid 2 or 3 days after getting this year’s flu jab.

So far only anecdotal stories from famillies three, trying to find a “news” source with it in.

£ from one extended family in 1 week is a bit more than coincidence.

Most of the population will forget how to socialise.

Anyone know what’s happening with that class action headed by the German-American lawyer Dr Reiner Fuellmich, supported by Dr Yeadon and others?

He gave an interview to Bittel TV in German (and I believe other journalists) on the 24th December. They were expecting to present a case in Canada on behalf of a Canadian business to court and a judge will decide if it is worth being heard in a full trial. Will probably happen beginning of January.
Justice system is very slow.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully we’ll get updates on here.

I thought he had posted a writ or something on Drosten?

I think you mean the Eurojournal article demanding he retract his statements about the efficiency of the PCR Test. I am not sure if he was involved in that.
The Independent Corona Ausschuss, which he is part of, gathered a lot of evidence relating to that.
There are several quite high profile activists in German speaking countries who have made public demands on Drosten to justify/prove his statements.
He has been very quiet recently, not even doing his podcast.

Thanks – it’s so hard to keep up at times!

Drosten does seem to be a weak point in all this, so I hope someone is pushing it hard.

What day did this site linked that summary to that recent study casting doubt on asymptomatic transmission?

Bart. Are you looking for this article: Has the Evidence of Asymptomatic Spread of COVID-19 been Significantly Overstated? by Dr Clare Craig FRCPath and Jonathan Engler MBChB LLB
Not sure what day it was. I put in a search for Asymptomatic Transmission in the search box top RH of the page and that is what popped up.Hope this helps.

That’s the one. Cheers

Thought I’d tweak Bryan Adams’ classic to reflect our current situation…

I bought my first real six string
Shops closed so I ordered online
All to save Hancock’s NHS
In the summer of Tier 69

Me and some guys from school
Spoke on Zoom and we tried real hard
Jimmy died, Jody took an overdose
I should’ve known, we’d never get far

Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And because I had no choice
I had to get the jab from Pfizer
Those were the worst days of my life

Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you’ve no job to go back to
Spent my evenings queuing up for soup
Because I couldn’t pay for food, yeah

Standing on your mama’s porch
You told me you’d stay masked forever
Oh, and when you bleached your hands
I guess you were never that clever
Those were the worst days of my life

Well done. Canadiana. I remember that song well. I would guess Bryan is a lockdown sceptic. He has a brain.

That’s excellent

I do wonder when customers bang on about us all getting the vaccine whether they are sounding me out to see if I will be getting it. Being a gobby sort, I always snort with derision at the very suggestion that someone else should wish on me a largely untested/potentially unsafe medical intervention. Even had one tosser yesterday, when I informed him – in no uncertain terms – that I would not be having any vaccine, say to me “you won’t get spina bifida you know …” I smiled to myself and thought, no, I definitely won’t … Anyway, even if I do get known as that crazy cafe owner who won’t get the vaccine, it will certainly weedle out yet more of a certain type of customer that I do not want. And, the blackboards, while eliciting some disapproving looks, are attracting sceptics …

I have decided to mess with their heads. I tell them I have converted and the handy cock was right all the time. I tell them I’m going to have all the vaccines as soon as I can. I have that guy from The Great Escape working on false papers for me

I’m going into deep cover and intend to infiltrate the Branch Covidians

It certainly is attracting sceptics and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It was a pleasure to pop in yesterday.

Thanks and nice to meet a fellow sceptic!

The Pig Dictator says Easter. His Liar in Chief says 2022

He said it would be inhuman to cancel Christmas.2 days later he did.I don’t believe either of them.This is the new normal we were promised.

He will say anything. As James Delingpole describes him: “…Johnson’s tone, unfortunately, is — for all the cheery bluster — essentially one of vacillation, procrastination, deviousness, mendacity, cowardice, egoism and, always but always, his prioritisation of the needs of his penis above everything else.”

I am incapable of understanding what women see in him.

Or anyone else, for that matter

Wouldn’t trust any of them. They’re liars all of them.

This will never stop until some politicians get the rope.
I suggest the leader of each party – just to be fair
and Blair obviously

Malcom McKendrick’ article today in the update is very worth reading in full and the conclusion that all SD has been absolutely of no value. But then the reality of London and SE, with 110 % overcapacity due to the seasonal surge is a reality. Think about all the money saved if we didn’t have the LD? Just take the meaningless mass testing costing 12 billion pounds would have been better spent increasing the ICU capacity and also good investment for the future. The hard fact is that -10% GDP has achieved nothing. If we have followed the flu pandemic guidelines 2019 this money could have been spent wisely.

This was the pollution level in London and the south east during the peak of covid deaths- the graph looks remarkably similar to the April peak we are shown in the briefings but no reference to this is ever made and very similar trends can be seen in Italy and Spain.

Can you explain what AQI is and is there one particularly dangerous pollutant or is it the combination that’s significant?

It makes sense that pollutants would affect respiratory disease and be dangerous if for example, someone had pre-existing heart disease. I’d like to know more.

AQI is Air Quality Index

Two Daily Mail stories, side by side:

“ The Oxford AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine is as close to a miracle as medicine ever gets”

next to

“Having the vaccine doesn’t mean vulnerable pensioners can act with ‘wild abandon and go off to the bingo halls’ says Deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam, still unknown whether jabs stopped people passing disease to others”

The vaccine is only a miracle for Big Pharma.

Sod off!

You should read the comments on the Van-Tam article.

eg. ‘How patronising. He’s old. Does he go to bingo halls?’

Yes, because that is the idea you should be taking from the dick head’s statement. This is why we are where we are.

They need to be careful – people have put up with a lot and expect results – once they realise that nothing has got better, they will feel rightly they have been had

I shall be politely declining his offer and trying not to drown myself the next time I sail under Kingsferry Bridge not dying of boredom in some bingo hall.

Utter contempt for the elderly. I am a pensioner and wouldn’t go near a bingo hall!!!! What a condescending twat. This reinforces my view that, once you are no longer working, they want you dead.

Have you framed your DNR certificate yet? Waiting eagerly for mine.

I’d actually ask for one if I could ever see a doctor again.

Frankly if got got covid (again) the last place I’d go is a hospital. In fact if anything else goes wrong I’m quite prepared to die in my own bed rather than put up with the NHS

“ The Oxford AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine is as close to a miracle as medicine ever gets”

According to ?

Vaccination doesn’t change anything. I know we all know that. But certain skeptics online (especially Twitter) are putting on an “optimistic” front re the vaccine.

Susan Michie says no change to the way we are living and she’s one of the people in charge.

https://mobile.twitter.com/SusanMichie/status/1344338424178868227

Pfizer’s own 53 page report says that the vaxx does not stop transmission its data fraud citing ‘95% effective’ (against what, for whom, how?); is against symptoms only…..SAGE (short for The Stupid and Gratuitous Empty-headed clown show), messaged back in Dec that the diapers and LDs should last into 2022….(spring)….so expect a ramp up in that messaging in 2021.

It’s not even a vaccine in any meaningful way, it is a prophylactic at best.

Susan Mitchie is also a self confessed Marxist. I wonder why she is one of the”People in Charge?”

Let’s hope she reads the replies to her own tweets. If she does she’ll be wailing about the “horrific abuse she is being subjected to”.

The comments are gold

Keep subjecting her.

They need to be careful – people have put up with a lot and expect results – once they realise that nothing has got better, they will feel rightly they have been had

I think that’s why some of the skeptics are displaying optimism on Twitter. They’re holding the line for the vaccine. Then, they will roar if we are not all out and about again.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/12/30/vaccine-delivery-plan-can-turn-2021-year-renewal/#comment

I notice Tesco are now offering to inject the vaccine. How desperate are the government to get this jab into people? This is all rather odd, there is never any desperation to inject the usual flu jabs!

The government has dug themselves into such a deep hole, the only way out without loosing face is mass vaccination.

Absolutely. They are betting the house, the farmland and uncle Seth’s new red tractor on this one…

Agree, collateral damage stacking up making it harder and harder to keep up the lies.

Yes – when people say they ”smell a rat” – I always think of a ”Race Against Time”.

Tesco!!! So you can shop there for a loaf of bread and get the doom elixir stuck in your arm as well?

Crusty roll and the Broth of Abominable Things.

Keep digging until they end up in China. Where they belong.

Perhaps you get double clubcard points with it?
If ASDA do it as well perhaps they do it in your posterior and then you could rub it in with that ridiculous ASDA bottom pat.
Every little helps!

My brother had rabies jabs in his stomach in Quetta before the dog in question was caught and a post mortem conducted, pretty painful.

Not sure this is correct. I don’t think the Government has approached Tesco -it is the other way round -and why wouldn’t a commercial organisation seek out a money making opportunity? They got the gig for this years flu jab. No clubcard points as the shopper doesn’t pay.

BOGOF ?

I suspect this is the government trying to cover their backs because if something goes horribly wrong then its Tesco who will be sued not the government.

This is fascism disguised as a health policy. Mussolini defined fascism as the merger of state and corporate power. There’s never been so much corporate power exercised in western countries as we now see exercised by the pharmaceutical industry, the heirs of IG Farben,.

The Twilght Of Sovereignty, 1992 book by Walter Wristum then CEO of Citicorp.

Predicts the redundancy of national sovereignty and the coming of ‘market democracy’ as high tech means big business is better able to deliver what people want rather than cumbersome political democracy which will whither on the vine along with politicians.

During the Brexit debate I was labelled a right winger. In vain I pointed out that left wing luminaries like Noam Chomsky were pointing to the dangers of hidden transnational corporate governance and had been doing so for decades.

Oligarchical Collectivism

Neo Liberals need to get the rope
There is no other option at this point given what they have done

Lasso them first. Like they do in the Rodeo.

Perhaps we should invite Amazon yto take over the UK.
At least the trains would run on time.
(Apologies to Mussolini).

I am trying to work up a model to indicate the level of scepticism based on New Years Eve rioting figures

My problem is testing to find the number of asymptomatic rioters. An asymptomatic rioter is an individual who is rioting internally but displays no outward signs

There is also the issue of false positives. False positives are individuals who would have gone out, got pissed and fought with the police anyway (thinking Scotland here)

Peer review is welcome

I woke up in Tier 4 today.
An email from my partner as to whether we open on Monday to which I replied that we would as we should be considered “essential” but pointed out possible staffing problems from the very start of the year as some employees have school age children so will they have family to care for them if they work? One employee needs to be furloughed as she’s already been informed by HMG that she is “vulnerable” (strange how she isn’t when HMG modifies Tiers).
Ignoring the fact that I am probably more high risk than her but being self employed have to work (and try to keep people in work alongthe way).
My best friends are retired and seem to have no real idea what this countrty is like now for people trying to work.
But I am not sorry for myself:instead I am angry at the incompetent or downright malignant bullying government which is spreading fear and ignorance,despoiling childrens’ lives with not even the pretence now of crocodile tears and has lied consistently like worthy apprentices of Goebbels.
The use of frankly inappropriately qualified scientific advisers (I am being unduly kind here) without any allowable critique by HMG where there is more than just an arguable case for scrutiny is jaw dropping coupled to the lack of any poitical opposition.This is far worse than the run up to the invasion of Iraq. Anyone who seriously knew anything about military matters would have struggled to accept Iraq,after years of sanctions etc, could attack British bases in Cyprus with missiles in 40 minutes as I seem to recall was announced by Blair to a packed House of zombie MPs.
Sorry it’s along post but I’m annoyed and have time to post which will not be the case when I open on Monday.
A Brave New Year to you all and stay sane.

My heart goes out to you, and all the other committed people trying to get through this with honour. Who’d have thought we could be betrayed by our own government on this scale?

The reason the mainstream media (MSM) is not holding the government to account is very easy to explain.

The MSM is in the Government’s pocket. Just look at the massive advertising campaign re Covid, Radio, TV, newspapers, it’s wall to wall and government is spending millions on this campaign which has been relentless for 10 months and continuing.

The Government is the MSM biggest advertising client

To show the excellence of the advice the government received from its health ‘experts’ in March, a trend that has continued ever since:

‘(As) healthcare professionals within HSCNI, we are deeply concerned about the failure to introduce social distancing measures to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in line with the Republic of Ireland”.

‘ “In summary, a further week without meaningful social distancing may leave our critical care capacity overwhelmed within a fortnight.’

‘…we must remind you that the state of HSCNI is very different to the rest of the NHS at the outset of this difficult period.”

‘In short, we are in the worst shape of any part of the NHS going into this.’

‘ It is understood the letter is being shared widely among medical professionals as well as others and, as of 3pm on Monday (March 16), more than 1,000 people had signed it.’

https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/coronavirus-health-professionals-warn-stormont-17935572

The government response? The ‘do nothing’ option!

‘…..closing schools at this stage could be “counterproductive”.

The results?

Excellent!

Dr Malcom Kendrick’s piece is enlightening.

‘…. there are anomalies all over the place. Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, and did exactly the same things as the rest of the UK with regard to lockdown, masks etc. At least it did in the earlier part of the year. However, it shows a completely different pattern to England. Or, to be fully accurate, it shows no pattern at all. No waves, and nobody drowning.’

https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2020/12/30/what-is-left-to-say/

What is left to say, indeed.

May I provide a quick translation? “( As) healthcare professionals within HSCNI, we are deeply concerned about the failure to introduce social distancing measures to get everyone dancing to the virtue-signalling beat and start the process of wearing down individuality and originality of thought in society. A further week without meaningful social distancing may leave people still able to think for themselves. It is of paramount importance that we activate people’s fear reflexes and get them jumping out of the way of each other in public places without further delay.”

Does anyone know whether NHS Northern Ireland cleared their hospital wards in the same way as NHS England did in March ( https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/resource/uncategorised/nhs-englands-17-march-letter-on-next-urgent-steps-in-response-to-covid-19/ )

Because, if it did not, that would be one explanation for the complete lack of any ‘covid 19 mortality waves’ in Northern Ireland throughout 2020?
?w=625&h=145

The statistics say COVID19. I say, bollocks.

11th hour quote of the year.

Why are they in the worst shape? Isn’t it a condemnation of their utterly bankrupt approach to services? Is it that they opted to do nothing to improve the service because hey simples just push the big red button when winter comes and it will make respiratory disease in the elderly go away? Money pissed up the wall to close the place down instead of spent on services to bring them up to European standards.

My mother’s friends have cancelled the New Year’s Day lunch she’d planned. She’s extremely disappointed (and now has a kitchen full of finger food and two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc [no doubt the usual stuff she buys, which tastes like fly killer, but never mind]). I’m going to FaceTime with her from my Bangkok roof at midnight Thai time, to let her see the fireworks and give her some sort of festivity. As I posted yesterday, if it was up to me I’d ignore the whole thing, but I feel very sorry for her. January 8 will be the anniversary of the last time I saw her. Since March she’s seen none of her coffee friends, all of whom are 80 plus and at least one 90 plus. I periodically explode on instant messages, telling her this is all a complete waste of LIFE. But she can’t do much about it if other people cancel everything. In her message this morning she said, “Everybody is talking about spring and Easter as being ‘back to normal’ – but how do they know that?” Well, quite. 2021 had better see a reckoning with the evildoers. Harm done. So much harm done.

Yes I cant believe that my brother and his girlfiend have wimped out and cancelled the planned New Years Day lunch for the family (we are all in Somerset put into Tier 4 as of this morning). My Mum is 86 and is fed up with all the nonsense. All the coffee mornings, activity livings, gardening clubs etc etc have been non-existant for months. We had a fantastic family Christmas Day and she was looking forward to New Years Day celebration too. Just for the record my brother lives in a small hamlet by the sea – reason for cancellation can only be the risk of a nosey neighbour reporting him to the police. Disappointed in him to say the least.

Tell your mum to leave your brother out of her will. No contact, no estate.

If my mum, an old school WW2 vintage nurse, were still alive she would have taken lockdown 1 seriously asking me to leave her weekly heavy shop outside her door.
But by now would have seen it was all nonsense and welcomed me ‘home’ for Xmas and New Years Day.

Wish this blog had an idiot section for us to post the silliest stories of the day:

From an Instagram post of a celebrity “health influencer” who has Covid and young children:

“Loving them through a window has been excruciating. Every time they hurt themselves and my immediate reaction has been to get up and go to them then I realize I can’t leave the room.
And the days they’ve stood outside begging me to touch, kiss and hold them because they don’t understand. Honestly it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve experienced as a parent.

I’m doing well otherwise, I’m still struggling with my chest – mostly at night, but grateful when have time outside in the fresh air – the small things I usually take for granted.”

I kid you not

Feculent tosser.

Yes, struggling with his dick more like.

And no doubt ”time outside in the fresh air” will involve being muzzled up to the eyeballs.

I would welcome a section for stories like this. Maybe it can be done via a forum?

I, and a lot of other readers, like to read these stories.

Utterly moronic and cringeworthy. And you just know they’ll be called a ‘hero’ for ‘sacrificing’ themselves/their daily life, and, worst of all, they’ll be absolutely convinced they’re doing a ‘noble thing’ and will be lapping up and loving the attention.

It is not a coincidence that all the narcissists are fully on board the Covid Bandwagon.

A big question is this? Why do we have so many C-19 in hospitals? Not those needing treatment for the C-19 disease but all the others? This is a viral disease where the replication of virus stops in almost all patients after 7-10 days. After that they are not infectious. Repeated PCRs in hospital patients would quickly confirm this pattern of less virus very quickly (I assume many admitted have been ill for some time already having already reduced viral load in their trajectory)
NHS has now realized using LFT instead of PCR for staff to stop the disastrous staff shortages of healthy staff isolating. Why can’t a combination of LFT/Repeated PCRs in hospital patients determine the real cases and stop meaningless stamping C-19 on non-infectious patients? Perhaps most of these non infectious C-19 patients could be sent to the Nightingale hospitals not needing C-19 care but general care and free up beds in the general hospitals?

Because it would expose the reality of the situation and we can’t have that. Also, what I presume is an open secret in London, is Excel has been leased out for other business use.

Because then there would be no Covid Catastrophe to justify spending your grandchildrens money on spurious vaccines.

They’ll say there aren’t enough personnel to staff them. (Conveniently ignoring the fact that thousands of retired medics said that, having volunteered, they weren’t used.)

See today main page, oodles of paperwork required from volunteers including a CRB/VBA check for every potential employer which can take months and £120 or so per request.

Fire training?
As long as they know where the nearest fire exit is in the building that should be sufficient!

An elderly lady I know of is in hospital for other reasons. She had received 2 negative tests soon before admission (required for other unrelated purposes), then another negative test on admission. Then, days later, a positive test in the hospital. She was then moved from the green zone to the red zone but they now want to discharge her as the reason for admittance has been brought under control.
I can’t begin to even unpick this he logic in all of that. It’s cruel to move her to the red zone when they clearly don’t believe she is ill with Covid. If she was she’d definitely need hospital care with all of her other conditions and at her age.

I reported just before Xmas of a lady I know well whose elderly mother had caught Covid in hospital but recovered and was given a release date into the daughter’s care.
The evening before she was tested positive + again and so spent Xmas isolating in hospital for no good reason.
Little wonder the NHS claim to be ‘overwhelmed’.

They don’t want it to end. They could have ended it many months ago.

I guess the system of an elderly person, especially cooped up in hospital and unlikely to be physically very active, will not flush out the dead virus particles, which the PCR test than picks up.
The article from the doctor stated about 150 out of 194 covid related patients basically being “bed blockers” for various reasons.
It is a disgrace for society that we cannot serve these people better. he mentioned some people do not want to go home as they live alone and have no or little support. Community hospitals would be a good idea.
My friend was in a ward located in a care home after he was too healthy to be in hospital but not well enough to go home. The ward is run by NHS, and sadly very isolated from the care home. He was not allowed to take part in care home organised activities in the residents lounge. The lounge in the ward was empty of people and full of stored equipment. No activities offered. Most other patients which I saw were very elderly and stayed in their rooms. Once a day my friend had some physio, which was mainly walking up and down the corridor. Reha my arse.
Coming from Germany and their excellent system of sending patients to residential rehabilitation after stroke, heart attack, hip replacements etc or even regular periods for chronic illness sufferers to prevent above mentioned is expensive but obviously does it’s job.

It’s the share portfolios of government and Sage that matter. That’s all.

I am hoping that the plan is to get the vaccine rolled out to the over 65s, and during that period keep up the uncertainty about whether it’s effective or stops transmission.

Then soon after I am hoping for a big ‘discovery’ that asymptomatic spread does not actually exist and given the “the vaccine provides stellar protection”, all restrictions INCLUDING MASKS are stopped.

Since the vulnerable and elderly are protected, and asymptomatic cannot spread it, life can return to normal. And the governments can focus on unleashing the punishment economically for “the difficult decisions made during coronavirus” (read: austerity).

I hope you are not expecting that everyone over 65 will be queing up for this vaccine?

No but I am expecting the majority to take it (either by choice or due to peer pressure and NHS nagging/coercion).

I only stated Over 65s as that is one level in the ‘Rollout schedule’ and I think after this point, the vaccination programme might be scaled back/made more optional due to as I said before the “discovery” you can’t transmit virus without symptoms + having jabbed those most vulnerable to it.

I think the govts will be looking to reverse the situation before people wise up further to everything.

I think you are wrong. There are many pensioners, myself and husband included, who would have to be dragged screaming from our homes before submitting to vaccination with an untested poison.

Well, a man can dream.

Speaking of muzzles, I see this one is still growing suspiciously slowly:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/331430

Nice dream.

But since Van Tam Michie et al. have stated face nappies social distancing and lockdowns will continue even after the vaccine is rolled out I see absolutely no reason for optimism.

This is it, forever, the boot stamping on the human face

Why is 99% of the population being told they must sacrifice their jobs, their businesses and their liberties in the name of making less than 1% of the population feel safer? Why not ask the 0.26% of the people under threat from the virus to volunteer to stay home so that the rest of us can get on with normal life? Why are we doing the opposite of what makes the most sense?

Exactly

Because the advisors are collectivists as are the politicians. Not one of those SAGE advisors is a libertarian or a right-leaning conservative. Right-leaning being what it actually means – more individualism and less government.

We saw this with the climate mob of which I’m sure there is overlap here. Watermelons the lot of them.

Desmond Swayne made a good speech in Parliament yesterday(?) and spoke of the government’s lack of measured advice from sources other than the risibly-named SAGE(with the redundant ‘E’).

That’s pretty much it. But it’s vital to remember that, as you point out, it’s not just SAGE who fall into that category (“collectivists”, “not libertarian or right-leaning conservative”) – you can apply that to the vast majority of our social and political elites in almost every area, including of course and most importantly the “Conservative” Party hierarchy currently in government.

Old lefty types here still in denial get upset when it is pointed out, but the stark truth is that the coronapanic is the absolute definitional opposite of either libertarianism or conservatism. It is a radical experiment in state-led, coercive control for (supposedly) collectivist “greater good” goals.

It was possible for such people still, just about, to get away with denying this truth about the “Conservative” Party hierarchy prior to this year, because the people in question are professional liars pretending to be “conservative” in order to secure votes under false pretences, and protected by an entire establishment devoted to pretending that political debate must be within the leftist terms defined by the limited spread from Corbyn to Johnson. It took real insight and rather unusual perspectives to recognise what has happened to this country’s politics over the past century.

But the coronapanic has stripped way much of the pretence.

Lockdowns making things worse by; increasing relative mobility of vulnerable, slowing development of herd immunity, slowing spread of less dangerous variants.

If there were a pndemic, then yes those points would makes sense.

But is there?

There is no there, there.

There.Is. No. Pandemic.

Indeed but lockdowns still make things worse, the exact opposite of the claims of the ‘bleeding obvious’ school.

They have consistently done everything possible to inhibit herd immunity.

Here is a comment from an American about lockdowns:

PDouglas • 4 days ago
If there were really an emergency these governors wouldn’t be able to schedule their shutdowns. Scheduling the destruction of a state’s economy and people’s lives happens because it’s a plan, not an emergency response.

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with protecting the elderly and everything to do with subjugating the masses so none of it makes sense unless you see it from that perspective

Stay at home OR take their chances. I am over 65 and have cancer but will NOT fall for this total hoax. I’ve had pneumonia in the past (aged 50) and know it is a fact of life and will always be a fact of life. Risk free life is not worth living.

I read that the French Police are to deploy 100,000 officers to deal with covid breaches on New Years Eve

Blimey, the last time they were this enthusiastic they were deporting the Jews to the gas chambers

It is global fascism brought in under the pretext of a global health emergency.

When the woman at our local boulangerie wished me « bon réveillon » this morning, I said « big party tonight – 300 people coming from all over at 9pm ». Fortunately she knows me, but but there were a few raised eyebrows in the masked queue…

Remember how pleased we were when Priti P said that they were going to put thousands more police officers on the streets? We didn’t know then what they’d be used for – in our ignorance we imagined it would be to protect us!!! That was a year ago – did ‘they’ know something even then?

A couple of anonymous reports of out of town raves at the appropriate time should do the trick.

That is a very good point.

Thanks.

Yes.

Matt Hancock was making plans as early as February, to my knowledge. Could have been earlier than that.

The Conservative councillor for Halesowen South has been expelled from the Conservative group the council (Birmingham City??) after calling for people to break the rules. Details here : https://www.facebook.com/RayBurstonHalesowenSouth

“ Cllr Burston’s bizarre tirade is irresponsible and an insult to key workers who have worked so hard through the pandemic” OH JUST FUCK OFF

Those tiktok routines are exhausting

Yes, the fatties have to come in specially from isolating.

The man has principles which are things not normally found in modern politicians of any stripe.
We will not see many similar stands.

Further to my discussions with TJN about Cromwell, I had in mind this morning his speech: “In the name of God go …” Just shows, times change, but people, essentially do not. Well worth a read

Cromwell is such a complex question. In his History of the English Speaking Peoples Churchill is perplexed and even confused in defining him. He roundly condemns him for the atrocities in Ireland, but concludes in his assessment of his character:

Amid the ruins of every institution, social and political, which had hitherto guided the Island life he [ Cromwell ] towered up, gigantic, glowing, indispensable, the sole agency by which the time could be regained for healing and regrowth.

‘… the ruins of every institution, social and political … time … for healing and regrowth’: these words seem so apt today, on the cusp of 2021. We need a sort of Cromwell as described here in Churchill’s words. For the life of me though I can’t spot who it might be.

Thanks TJN. The visceral fury that Cromwell’s speech conveyed sums up everything I feel right now. But, as you say, who is the towering figure around whom we can coalesce now … there seems to be no-one.

History has so many lessons in all this. But the Great British Public are as wilfully ignorant of history as they are of science.

All of you combined would make a towering figure.

Preceded by ‘I say this is no Parliament. . .’
Certainly the case today.

And to the Senedd, a nest of vipers in Cardiff Bay.

Great man!!

I won’t say ‘Happy New Year’ because, realist that I am, I know there is a battle of almighty proportions ahead. However, one positive I will take from this bloody awful year is the support, camaraderie and humour of all the contributors to this site. I am indebted to Toby et al for creating it, in order that those of us of similar minds can gather. Without it, well, I don’t know what would have happened. I have, through this site, met fellow sceptics in person, people who ordinarily I would not have met, so a big thank you to you all. And E, if you are reading this, I hope you manage to get back to the UK … there’ll be a latte and scone waiting for you!

You, kh, deserve special good wishes for the year to come. You have to deal with this day in, day out in your working life – the things that for the most part merely irritate and madden me cut to the heart of your business, and the division of the population into two species – the Sane Humans and the Midwich Cuckoos – is right there in front of your nose all the time, whereas I only have to wrestle with it in my mind’s eye and my sleepless nights. I may be thousands of miles away but my heart is with people like you who still belong to and fight for the country I remember. Let’s not let it die. Best of luck and all success to you.

Agreed!

I know what you mean but nonetheless I will wish everyone a Happy New Year;
Hope humbly then; with trembling pinions soar;
Wait the great teacher Death; and God adore!
What future bliss, he gives not thee to know,
But gives that hope to be thy blessing now.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast:
Man never is, but always to be blest:

As well as hope there is of course always cynicism; there are elections planned for 6th May, I suspect we will see some change before then so that Boris can be portrayed as a latter day Churchill, delivering us from the evil Covid and getting Brexit done and many will be taken in and vote for him.

To you, kh, I send my best wishes in return. You are one of a small number whose daily battles this year have helped me keep a sense of perspective on my own life and its frustrations, and for that I am indebted to you. We will all battle on in our own ways in the coming year, hoping to shape the world, however slightly, in the direction we know is right and would wish for our children and grandchildren. (Off now for a walk in the snow with some of them.)  All power to your chalkboard in 2021!

Best wishes for you KH, you have been an inspiration for me.

I am getting the impression that the so called “mutant variation” of the virus is mainly responsible for the”surge in cases. What puzzles me is how do they manage to differentiate between the original version and the variant? What testing method is being used to support this?
If the variant has become dominant what has happened to the original?

Just remember: ONE IN THREE PEOPLE WHO BUY INTO THIS GOVERNMENT BULLSHIT ARE JUST AS STUPID AS THE OTHER TWO…

I posted a similar question below and somewhere else where it has been suggested that they take 10% of all positives for further analysis

Convenient-19, now even more CONvenient!

Interesting. I would not completely rule out the ‘new varient’ being just some kind of flu coupled with manipulation of case numbers, although maybe I’m getting carried away with my suspicions.

The hospital data will, in time, help to clarify. Contrary to government propoganda, looking at the dashboard and considering normal hospital cases,why are there not more? Is the so called new varient’ milder?

I suppose its the same old story, if the government says its true it must be true. They haven’t bothered to publish any real data. Most of what they have published seems to have been scribbled on the back of Ferguson’s condom packet.

Hahahahahaha

The rate of transmission has already been decreased from 70% to 54% a week or so later, and it was suggested it is causing milder symptoms, if any.

Yesterday someone suggested it does not have the spike protein, which I understand means it cannot invade our cells, cannot duplicate and dies quicker in our body.

They just pick one of the other Corona colds.
There are 4 that they know of but most “novel” coronaviruses slip under the radar every year
Just get chalked up to “mystery virus”
Until now

“Georgia Gould, chair of London Councils, said it was “deeply irresponsible” of ministers to publish a list of areas where primaries should close with “no conversation” with councils or education leaders.
She questioned how councils would be able to explain to parents that their children can go to school in Camden but not in Westminster or Barnet.”

Georgia Gould leader of Camden Council, daughter of the late Bryan Gould who was the great friend of Tony Blair. Tells you all need to know.

This is just more of the scam. For example if you live in Camden and you have your schooling in Westminster you cannot go to school but if you live in Westminster and your schooling is in Camden you can continue to go to school. Another well thought through scheme not!

Universities tested their students independently using two different tests and found genuine infection almost negligible, so the government now want to test secondary school pupils and lockdown younger years all of whom we now are not very susceptible to the virus and because of a mutation which is much weaker to save 0.05% of the population.

A great summary of the madness surrounding us, posted by Dr. Roger Koops at the American Institute for Economic Research . His opening paragraph says it all:

2020 has been a year of disguises. Some examples include computer models/modelers disguised as “science/scientists,” Tyrants/Dictators/Totalitarians disguised as “elected officials,” propaganda machines disguised as “news sources,” brainwashing disguised as “information,” censorship disguised as “public health safeguard,” panic and fear disguised as “social responsibility.”

South Wales “surge” dying out and due to the Welsh lockdown, not new variant

Drawing together recent evidence, it can be said that the December “surge” in South Wales cases pretty much equalled that in Kent. But, according to the analysis published here earlier this week and on other sites, even the BBC, there are few new variant cases in Wales.

The South Wales “surge” (I put in inverted commas as I don’t think of it like that) followed a stricter lockdown than England in the autumn. Compare totals (healthcare, deaths and of you must “cases”) for South Wales Vs Bristol and Somerset area for the autumn to the end of the year as a whole. Looks like the Welsh lockdown was a complete failure.

We should shout about the complete failure of the stricter lockdown in Wales and the data suggests their approach from start to finish has utterly failed.

Yes – but the sad truth is that we have achieved absolutely zero in reversing the new health fascism.

I think there is more skepticism around than there used to be, and perhaps sites like this have played a part in that, but it is going to take more to make a real difference.

An interesting question is, where will the government go with this if there is a significant minority of vaccine refusers?

From Daily Mail;

”Having the vaccine doesn’t mean vulnerable pensioners can act with ‘wild abandon and go off to the bingo halls’ says Deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam

• Was whether those who’ve had vaccine doses would still have to follow rules
• Said was still unknown whether jabs stopped people passing disease to others
• The official told reporters that the ‘magic phrase’ was ‘transmission’
• Said scientists would know within couple of months how effective vaccines are”

Jonathan van Tam clearly doesn’t realise most pensioners still have a brain, don’t go out and play bingo and are refusing the vaccine which doesn’t guarantee anything.

At every opportunity they’re still peddling the myth that this is passed on by asymptomatic people. And saying that’s the danger – as if, once set free, we would rush up to complete strangers, cough in their faces and embrace them warmly with French kisses.

Are there any bingo halls for granny to return to? What about cinemas, theatres, rugby and football stadia etc.

Said was still unknown whether jabs stopped people passing disease to others

Why on this earth would you have this jab if it does not prevent people from getting it?

Exactly. I tried to explain this to a friend but all I got was a blank uncomprehending stare. She’s 32, I told her that her chances of getting seriously ill from covid were less than the risks from the vaccine, and that it doesn’t stop you catching it or spreading it, it just reduces symptoms – so why would anyone who isn’t in the vulnerable category need it? Sadly she had the same thousand yard stare as the rest of the brainwashed and parroted that she’s getting it anyway. I despair!

They just make it up as they go along don’t they. JVT, people can go out and do what they want. They assess their own risk and decide whether they want to live life or to isolate themselves.

All fellow pensioners of my acquaintance, with only 2 exceptions, are, very depressingly, embracing the vaccine with the religious zeal of a novice taking vows and I get the same reaction as Chloe when trying to explain it will not stop transmission of the virus.

Rival daily dashboard

I would like to see a rival daily dashboard, to counter the government statistics.

It would include:
Respiratory disease deaths and healthcare cases (including covid’ and flu) Those cases Vs average year
Estimated collateral deaths from lockdown per day from suicide dementia etc
Estimated cost per day (worked out from the estimated £900 billion it will end up as)
Cost per person for each tax payer as a bill, which will be something like £20 000 EACH

Admittedly there would be a lot of estimates and some data would only be updated monthly but it could then be estimated as daily and could be used to counteract more sharply the lockdown panic propoganda

This is a good idea. In fact it is the responsibility of government to present information in a responsible way, and in context, but you’d need a responsible government to do that rather than the criminal gang we have in charge.

I have always believed that the failure to provide the figures for deaths from all respiratory diseases, not just covid, was deliberately designed to frighten people. Boy did that work!

YES!!!

This meme arrived today:

It’s a meme virus

This petition has hardly grown at all. I wonder why….

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/550598

I signed it way back when. I know because I just tried and received a notice of duplicate signature.

Same here

Even from the point of view of the non-sceptic, this vaccine must have the worst sales pitch of all time. We have already been told it will make no difference as far as wearing masks and social distancing is concerned. And then there are currently at least two vaccines. And also there are two variants of the deadly end-of-times plague so far and neither vaccine could have taken account of them. So why on earth would anyone want this vax?

Exactly. I’ve even heard a few non sceptics say the same.

Perhaps that is the point. “You will take this vaccine, whether it helps or not, even if it kills you. Because we say so!”

Perhaps the vaccines are misdirection.

They have to make a show of trying to find a vaccine, because that’s what many expect.

The point of this whole exercise is perhaps to establish lockdown and the social changes.

Maybe the vaccines aren’t meant to ‘succeed’, but merely to function as a sponge to absorb public hope for a while longer?.

There’s also this reason. Nothing has ever been made of the very useful prophylactics and theraputics. I wonder why…..

Same. You have to wonder why they are encouraged to run to the press with such announcements. Nobody likes being scolded. It has the opposite effect.

These people will do and say anything to get their names in the papers and media. Their ‘opinions’ are worthless.

Narcissists.

Here’s the DM take on it https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9101515/This-PEOPLE-behaving-badly-ICU-doctor-angry-public-Covid-hospitals-crisis.html

How I cleared up beriberi

The Guardian: The Covid turning point: when did the pandemic become unstoppable?.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/31/covid-turning-point-pandemic-unstoppable

Spiro Skouras was banned from Twitter. Youtube is next. BitChute is his backup.

An encouraging essay from Brandon Smith. He thinks that things aren’t going quite as waslanned:

“ All the mutation narrative does is further expose what the true agenda is – What the elites want is never-ending lockdowns. There is no program to save lives or flatten the curve. The entire health argument is utter nonsense. Nothing that has been done so far supports the notion that public health is the priority. Instead, what we are seeing is a mad dash towards totalitarianism using Covid as the excuse, and the effort is failing”

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/covid-mutation-stories-show-lockdowns-are-designed-last-forever

Is it failing ? Tonight NYE might be a key test. Xmas is usually celebrated indoors with family, not so New Years Eve.

From the BBC a short time ago, more of the usual propaganda that explains in part why everyone is still so scared. Professor Montgomery is angry that people are “laying the blame on the virus” rather than on the anti-maskers:

An intensive care doctor has also urged people not to gather and said those who do not wear masks have “blood on their hands”.

Prof Hugh Montgomery, professor of intensive care medicine at University College London, said: “It is making me actually very angry now that people are laying the blame on the virus, and it is not the virus, it is people, people are not washing their hands, they are not wearing their masks.”

There’s no need to repeat all that’s wrong with this, which will be obvious to anyone who reads this site. But it does seem a particularly stupid and angry example from the genre.

I honestly believe that if the government put the army on the streets, with a policy of shooting to kill anyone failing to comply, that a significant proportion of the population would applaud it. (Notwithstanding that the vast majority have themselves failed to comply in some way but of course the problem is always “Covidiots” not themselves, or the stupidity of the whole lockdown farce!)

Yes, I never cease to be amazed by how far people want to go, while not entirely complying themselves. T hose early reminders from the likes of Chris Whitty that the virus is very unlikely to kill, that it kills the very elderly, that it is typically taking months, rather than years, off someone’s life all seem to have been replaced with much more sensational language.

Yes – those words of Wittery should be widely shared. Back in May he was wittering a very different tune.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adj8MCsZKlg&feature=youtu.be

The immediate meeja response was “You bastard, you don’t care about granny!” Copyright one of the two Covid hypocrites currently “resting”. Similar response to Vallance’s sensible comments on herd immunity (before there was better evidence about T-cell immunity from existing coronaviruses showing his estimate was a bit high).

This man is also a climate change activist with an agenda not just some concerned doctor. Video from 2015 just so you know

Any relation to the German Montgomery advocating medico-facist measures in yesterday’s LS ?
Can’t recall if he came up above or below the line.

Wonder if he also discriminates against other races and gay people

As a thermageddonist other races certainly as long as they are in far off lands of which we know little. I’m sure he’s scrupulously woke about pandering in UK.

He doesn’t live in the real world does he. Hasn’t he noticed the extraordinarily high levels of compliance in mask wearing and hand sanitising. I am sick and tired of people like him blaming the citizens of the UK. The real issue is that the economy has been destroyed with mass unemployment looming because of the grossly inefficient, hugely expensive, NHS which allegedly needs protection so we need to suffer an economic collapse, a severely blighted future for our young people and mass unemployment just to save a totally failing, over managed and extremely poorly managed health service. How dare he presume to make these comments.

We are being told repeatedly that all these measures are being taken because the virus is ‘out of control’ and, in order to keep them, Wancock had to tell a whopping big lie in the HoC about a new variant which transmitted faster, which statement was then roundly destroyed by WHO who said it wasn’t new, they had been tracking it since September and there was no evidence that it transmitted any faster or even created a high risk for children. Having that lie trashed the next day he invented a virus from South Africa. Lie, on lie on lie. You are right, Professor Montgomery should be reported to the GMC for making falsified claims designed to scapegoat certain sectors of the population and designed to cause fear, distress and alarm. In fact, I might make the complaint myself.

Shout-out to David Silke, thanks so much for the link you posted yesterday evening. Apologies, I tend to log off the internet in the evening so didn’t see it but was sent it by a LS friend – thanks J.

Hope it will be any use to you, even if it offers some fellowship.

I posted this originally in the wee hours so its’ worth repeating – the Pfizer vaccine was designed in just a few hours. https://greatgameindia.com/covid-19-vaccine-ugur-sahin/

At a Bartending school.

So another lockdown, it’s all so predictable.
Will I have work next week? Who knows. At least I’ve had a bit of a run at life but what have the youth of today got to look forward to? College and school closed so you can’t get educated, many jobs like cafe and bar work stopped. It’s almost as if the govt is forcing dependency on them.
I despise all those who support this.

Me too. The current supposed pressure on the NHS was widely predicted for months now, why wasn’t it better prepared?! Why is nobody in the media clamouring for Hancocks resignation?

I spoke with a young Weatherspoons barman earlier this week who said he hoped to get furloughed again as the previous time he had learned all kind of things like how to cook.
The conversation did not last long.

Obviously, in a Covid world, the concept of elections as we have known them in the past, with polling stations, polling booths etc. would be far too dangerous to even consider. Accordingly, the government has decided that all future elections will be done courtesy of the BBC.

Prior to the vote there will be a round robin discussion with members of the 4 main parties given chance to present their case to the nation followed by a 30 second ‘Vote Now’ segment where all electors will be asked to press one of the 4 coloured buttons on their remote control to indicate their preference. Results will be available instantly, no more waiting up all night!

The party slogans for the next election have already been chosen and are presented here for your perusal:

‘Suck up the lie, comply or die’ – Press Blue

‘Down on one knee? Vote for me’ – Press Red

‘Give us power and we will take away your power’ – Press Green

‘Still undecided? – So are we’ – Press yellow

In order that the whole electorate will be able to vote, the TV licence fee will be re -designated ‘The Poll Tax’ and will of course be compulsory.

Hoping your new year will be very happy,
Although its more likely to keep being crappy.

Old Bill.

Some great stuff from Dr Malcolm Kendrick: ‘What is left to say’ (reference above).

Particularly about Northern Ireland, where no remarkable effects from this ‘global pandemic’ appear to have been discernible at all.

Difficult to find out much about what has been so successful in Northern Ireland, so that others may profit from the lessons learned, because:

‘…. medical staff have been told “if they dare say what is happening on the ground, that they’ll lose their jobs, they’ll be disciplined”.

But one thing we do know is that very little was going on at all:

‘The doctor…..recently performed a shift at a dedicated coronavirus ward in a large hospital and said that in a four-hour timeframe there were three doctors on duty and a dozen other medical staff.

‘…. the ward saw just three patients during this time – and none of them turned out to have Covid-19. The rest of the hospital has been “pretty much closed down” except for the Covid ward and emergency care, they said.

There was so little to do that when a patient did eventually come in there was a “flurry of excitement” and all 15 staff gathered round.

‘The doctor noted the “very highly-paid” status of the professionals who were manning the coronavirus ward, and said that such quiet levels of patient attendance has “been going on for weeks”

‘ “People need to understand this lockdown is not without very, very serious effects for people’s health and wellbeing – quite apart from the economic effects.

“People are so scared, and they’re not getting the help they need.

‘ “I get it – that the politicians here, in the middle of the whole hysteria, said: ‘We had better lock down, this is going to be serious, we are not going to be able to cope’.

“But the evidence now is absolutely clear: the lockdown is doing at least as much harm as good.’

‘ “We need to start getting people back and getting people cared for and getting the damage this has done, undone.”

Unfortunately things do not look too good, this morning, for 2021 and beyond:

‘ Hopefully, in time, we will learn something. Which is that we should not, ever, run about panicking, following the madly waved banners… ever again. However, I suspect that we will. This pandemic is going to be a model for all mass panicking stupidity in the future. Because to do otherwise, would be to admit that we made a pig’s ear of it this time. Far too many powerful reputations at stake to allow that.’

https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2020/12/30/what-is-left-to-say/

We may be free of Europe, but we are also bereft of the kind of leadership that made this country a beacon of freedom and enlightenment to so much of the broader world beyond.

This link is from April or am I misreading this?

Correct. Dr Kendrick’s article is about the whole of 2020. I am trying to work out, in a not particularly efficient manner, why Northern Ireland 2020 mortality has been so unremarkable. Grateful for any help?

Hard to say. There are no local analysts that are looking into it from a sceptical point of view. It’s pathetic really.

Deaths with a + PCR are massively weighted to the over 70s. Average life expectancy here is 78. So I think that it is a case of just business as usual with the demographic that are passing away this year.

3 people under 40 have died on the offfical dashboard
https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiZGYxNjYzNmUtOTlmZS00ODAxLWE1YTEtMjA0NjZhMzlmN2JmIiwidCI6IjljOWEzMGRlLWQ4ZDctNGFhNC05NjAwLTRiZTc2MjVmZjZjNSIsImMiOjh9

Worth going through that as you might see something which provides some light.

I would say that living in an area in NI of around 200,000 we were told to expect 4,000 deaths in 2020 from CV-19. This was the headline number which forced many businesses to close before St Patrick’s day in March, ahead of the official lockdown. We’ve had around 90, 95% of whom are over 65 and around 60% over 80. One of those who was warning this on social media at the time still claims it has been 3910 lives saved due to his early warnings. I’ve been removed from both his groups for pointing out how ridiculous that is.

I’ll also add the story of the oy under 20 to have died. Died of heart failure and suffering from a chronic illness. He also tested negative on entry to hospital and his family only found out it was a Covid death later. They had always seen it as his illness.

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/derry-teen-aaron-doherty-17-dies-after-family-thought-he-had-beaten-coronavirus-39679823.html

Very interesting. Many thanks.

It is. Northern Ireland had a relatively mild wave then. Catching up this winter but no excess mortality. I will say that the Euromomo chart differs slightly from some other stats locally which do show a slight increase over 5 year averages but the Euromomo chart is z score, which may be a reason why

Very well put Tim, thank you.

Dr Kendrick is also part of the UK Medical freedom Alliance team https://www.ukmedfreedom.org

I don’t furnish the Telegraph with any of my hard-borrowed money any more, so I can’t read the articles and I’m feeling somewhat better as a result. I can’t even look at the headlines now they’ve closed themselves off almost entirely, but I sometimes do a quick screen capture before the fucking irritating “start your free trial to continue reading” popup appears. This afternoon I was interested to see a headline by Paul Nuki (is this a pseudonym for Neil Ferguson? He likes a bit of Nuki), with his idiot punchable smiling face beside the words “I’d long thought a pandemic likely, to the amusement of newsroom colleagues”. How happy he must be now to have his prophecy fulfilled. No wonder he invests so much in fulfilling it in the face of all the evidence. How he must wish it was properly deadly so he could feel even more important and prescient. How he must be enjoying his new lockdown, in his nice house, with working-class people beating a path to his door to keep him supplied with whatever his egomaniacal heart desires. I would finish this incoherent rant by saying, “What a TWAT” but that would be a grotesque insult to twats, which are nice.

No more screen captures for me. Nuki can sail off into his paywalled bubble and choke on his own self-glorification.

On the one hand, thank you very much. On the other, I just read his article and it ends like this:

“A new normal will also emerge towards the middle of next year and much of it will be better than before.
In the end, we’ll tell our grandchildren how we bravely fought Covid-19 from our sofas, and hopefully reflect how much luckier we were than generations that came before us.”

Jesus Fucking Christ.

That’s sickness. Surely.

He has a point, the peasants who survived the black death were much better off economically than they had been previously and survivors of all classes got to inherit the stuff off their dead relatives.

And they didn’t have to listen to Paul Bloody Nuki.

That was because a 1/3 of the population died and the price of their labour grew.We are about to enter a period of economic turmoil that will make us look back on 2008 with fondness

NorthumbrianNomad – are you in the Blyth Valley constituency? If so, could you private message me?

No, I’m in Berwick-upon-Tweed, sorry, and I’m not there at the moment.

That’s a shame.

Not sure how long you’ve been away from Berwick but I saw it soon after the first lockdown, and even back then, several small shops had shut permanently.

Don’t ask where NN is – you might throw up!

Shhhhhhh!

I haven’t been back since December 2019. I was due to visit in April but I didn’t want to get trapped there, so I’ve kept putting it off. I’m sad but not surprised about the shops.

LOL, I do exactly the same with graph articles, mind you have to be quick from an Android but 3 reloads is enough to catch most of it. Read at leisure and bin.

Paul Nuki is not so clever and his mates must be stunningly stupid.
A Pandemic of one kind or another is always inevitable, always has been always will be.
Just like Naples will get destroyed by Vesuvius and San Francisco will get destroyed by earthquake, it’s just a question of when and how badly.

There is an excellent interview with Dr Bhakti on The Truthseeker on the vaccine. A must watch.

A hero from the start.

Not feeling good at the moment. I’d been taking a Christmas break from Facebook but logged on last night check to see if anyone had posted some nice photos. But instead I find one of my “friends” has proudly posted that they had reported someone to the police for breaking lock down rules. I think it will cause them more problems than the person they have reported but still it is awful thing to for this “friend” to do.

I really only use Facebook to share photos with friends and family and really don’t want to get into arguments on there. But I now don’t want this person seeing my posts now I know they are a snitch.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? If I unfriend the person they will want to know why. I think you can block certain people from posts but I don’t know how effective this is. Maybe I should just quit Facebook for a while … another small pleasure ruined great…

Downtick his cute cat pictures.

Change his friendship status from friend to acquaintance then when you post on FB post only to friends unless you specifically want him to see something.

This ongoing saga (lockdowns, tiers, limitations) is the best thing that happened to a lot of people

It gave them a PURPOSE

• to snitch on others
• to be self righteous
• to be self appointed lockdown/mask enforcers
• to wear the badge of having had ‘Covid’
• etc

However they shun their own families…….

Yes – I often get the feeling when I see people strutting about virtuously, muzzled to the eyeballs outside, that this is probably the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to them in their sad, narrow little lives.

I came to this conclusion some time ago, as it seemed the only rationale to explain the apparent satisfaction they have in wesring a damned nappy, along with their perky strutt and head held high.

I’ve taken to looking at them and shaking my head with a pitying look on my face and mouthing “twat” at them.

Post old – verifiably old, if you need to prove it later – pictures of you with friends, captioned “Don’t tell the police! Happy New Year!” “Another get-together! Almost like normal!” “Great evening, no social distancing, no masks, no tiers!” etc The police will soon get fed up of turning up to your house and wasting their time.

Yes..I have a neighbour who proudly announced that he will have a lookout for anyone breaking the rule so he can report them.I then told him that if he tries it with me an accident might happen where his limbs might get broken. His wife apparently then reminded him that I’m a veteran with combat experience so he is now hiding from me..The little tucker,I will not take it anymore..

And tell your friend he is a cunt and a scumbag of a human being..He deserves more but that is at least you can do.

This is sinister – it’s proving so effective in dividing us. All of which was known perfectly well to the government when they ’employed’ the so-called experts in behavioural psychology on their SAG team. (I now leave off the redundant ‘E’ on purpose.)

I got the impression there was an element of petty revenge in it too. It reflects very badly on them but they probably don’t realise that because they feel like such a hero. I’ll sleep on it but l might explicitly unfriend them. I’ve been hoping to avoid too much flak but I’m been pushed into it. Maybe it’s time to embrace it.

Why are you still using Facebook?

I’m wondering that today. Some of my relatives and friends use it and like seeing photos I send and I did like seeing what they posted. But I’m pissed off with it these days. I get a knot in my stomach if I see any corona virus post so it is rapidly losing its charm.

Find ways to use Facebook to your advantage. I was thinking of pasting some of Facebook’s pronouncements about censoring. I wonder if they will ban me from linking to them?

Yes – I’ve come off it altogether now. I have just a couple of people on there who aren’t sheep, so there is no point being there and winding myself up looking at their muzzled faces and listening to the virtue-signalling, blaming and general idiocy. It’ s not good for me. Do they realise that they have ended up in an echo-chamber that might as well be called a sewer for all the shit they’re pumping out.

Facebook = Farcebook

Avoid.

Tell Facebook that he misgendered you (you identified as a woman at the time you saw his post)
They will come down like a ton of bricks

With people I consider or considered good friends, I’ve tried to debate openly but unemotionally, and while I have reacted firmly to their insults I have not blanked them – it is usually they who blank me

Others to whom I was not close I just ignore now and have cut all ties

Unfriend. This piece of shit can’t possibly be a friend now.

On Simon Dolan’s Twitter feed. Italian Court rules Ministerial Decrees re Covid “illegitimate and unconstitutional” According to the Court of Rome, those decrees that limit freedoms are “vitiated by multiple profiles of illegitimacy”: for this reason they are to be struck down. https://www.ilgiornale.it/news/politica/sentenza-bomba-sui-dpcm-conte-sono-illegittimi-e-1912139.html

This follows court rulings in Austria against masking kids and a similar ruling against restriction in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Reflect on that – B-H is more democratic and its courts more responsive than in the birthplace of liberty!

“Vitiated by multiple profiles of illegitimacy”. That’s Italian lawyer speak for “They’re all a bunch of bastards”.

Here is Google Translate’s translation:

The “bomb” sentence on Conte’s Dpcm: “They are illegitimate and unconstitutional”
According to the Court of Rome, the decrees that limit our freedoms are “vitiated by multiple profiles of illegitimacy”: for this reason they are “lapsable”, that is, to be annulled

Luca Sablone – Thu, 24/12/2020 – 11:24
comments
Is the government acting outside the norms of the democratic state and thus limiting our freedoms by violating the laws? The Dpcm born by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who has been changing the lifestyle habits of Italians to try to limit the spread of Coronavirus since March, ended up in the crosshairs of the controversies.

Restrictions, lockdowns and curfews. Yet, according to the study of December 18 by Johns Hopkins University, the data shows that Italy is the country in the world with the highest mortality from Coronavirus per 100 thousand inhabitants: 111.23 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants; followed by Spain (104.39), the United Kingdom (99.49) and the United States (94.97). Evidently the decrees of the Prime Minister have also been of little use.

However, there is a “bombshell” ruling by the Court of Rome, called to express itself on a dispute in which a business to be evicted for arrears has ended due to non-payment of fees for the closure imposed by the prohibitions in the context of the Coronavirus emergency . The judge came to the conclusion that the Dpcm “are vitiated by violations for lack of motivation” and “by multiple profiles of illegitimacy”. Therefore, as such, they appear to be “transitory”. That is, they do not produce real and concrete effects from a jurisprudential point of view, they must be canceled. The decrees with which the government intervened are not “of a normative nature” but of an “administrative nature”. So they should refer to an already existing law.

Violations of the Dpcm
The civil court of Rome cites “all the Presidents Emeritus of the Constitutional Court, Baldassarre, Marini, Cassese”. Furthermore, it is explained that there is no ordinary law “which gives the Council of Ministers the power to declare a state of emergency due to health risks”. So the Dpcm are unconstitutional? We read that “they have imposed a renewal of the limitation of the rights of freedom”. Instead they would have required “a further passage in a different Parliament” compared to the one that took place for the conversion of the decree I remain at home and of Cura Italia. “These are therefore measures in contrast with the articles ranging from 13 to 22 of the Constitution and with the discipline of Article 77 of the Constitution, as noted by authoritative constitutional doctrine”, is added.

To be valid, the Dpcm, as administrative acts, must be motivated pursuant to article 3 of law 241/1990. The technical-scientific Committee has always been cited at the basis of every decision, whose analyzes – explains the judge – have been reserved for some time and were made public only close to the deadlines of the Dpcm themselves: “Such a delay as to not allow the ‘activation of judicial protection “.

The Dpcm remains an administrative act that cannot restrict fundamental freedoms, even if to “legitimize” it is an act that instead has the force of law; the part that does not hold it becomes the cause of the negative consequences on the full usability of the property. In short, the judge shares the “authoritative constitutional doctrine” according to which it is contrary to the Constitution to provide for norms that limit the fundamental rights of the person by means of decrees of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. As reported by Italia Oggi, the first decree law that “legitimized” the Dpcm limited itself to containing a list by way of example and thus allowed the adoption of unnamed acts, but did not establish any modalities for the exercise of powers.

Yes, the UK, the birthplace of democracy and free speech is now nothing of the sort, with a judiciary who are (mostly) unconcerned about the erosion of those hard won freedoms.

Deeply saddening.

To think our forefathers fought and died to ensure our freedom – they must turn now in their graves – including those whose final resting place is unknown.

Apologies if this has already been posted. A Lockdown activist, Debbie Hicks, was so annoyed that Gloucester Hospital was described as being overwhelmed, she decided to enter the hospital and film. The first link shows the hospital to be deserted. The second link shows the Police arriving at her house and arresting the poor woman in front of her family.

https://lbry.tv/@StandUpX_U4F:b/debbiehicks_gloucestershireroyalhospitalempty_20201227:3?fbclid=IwAR2InX5XPSQ25ZtbZySXSL2ttprxYgiriMZZNDNCBvGeTECoJatRu7J_vWQ

Toby has offered her help from the Free Speech Union. I hope someone can get the message to her. How can filming in a public space be a public order offence? This is fascism, pure and simple.

Not sure that the link for her arrest works. Here it is again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNpVut_CYec&fbclid=IwAR0hHmSMPBAVFhmEvKOn18GHH3qoVvnKvyhdI5htp0Ebih93e_4lwO5hdoA

Debbie has got my messages and has emailed Toby. Fingers crossed.

I do hope so. She has already been fined for organising protests.

In my haste to post about this I had failed to read the editorial so missed that Toby has already picked up on this. I’ve asked people I know who are her friends to contact her.

I find the response to what she has done chilling. Does anyone know whether the public order offence is supposedly the filming itself, or the subsequent posting online with her critical commentary?

Does it matter that much? The real problem here is that documenting verifiable truth is now a crime. I know people that work in hospitals and they confirm that the government is telling out and out lies.

This story should be over every newspaper and TV outlet in the ‘Free’ world, it is sickening and despicable. The matter should be raised in parliament as well asap.

She was actually only doing the job that any self-respecting investsigative journalists left in the MSM should be doing. So, lies are now the new truth.

No, in one way it doesn’t matter that much. But I am interested in how existing legislation is being applied abused – what previously uncontroversial everyday activities are now being criminalised? What does this tell us about how authoritarian practices are going to encroach ever more on our lives?

The story here (for me) is the unjustifiable response to this woman’s actions – I am not shocked or horrified that she found an outpatients department empty in the week between Christmas and New Year.

I am a firm lockdown sceptic from Gloucester. Although Debbie Hicks arrest is totally unwarranted her video shows her wandering around Monday to Friday parts of GRH on a Sunday, of course they are virtually empty. Publicising this is a huge own goal for Lockdown Sceptics, it taints all the good articles and posts

Why are there any parts of a major hospital not working in the midst of the worst health crisis know to mankind? Out patients I believe, why closed at weekends?

Does Toby Young know about this? Simon Dolan? Free Speech Union? Lord Sumption? We have to help this woman.

Just come across this, which is how it should be.

Asked Whately (also my MP) for an answer to that mystery, still no reply.

What is the evidence to support his assertion that lockdown sceptics ‘have blood on their hands’

Worthy of a formal complaint to the GMC

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55479018

By the same logic everyone has blood on their hands every flu season
So what and don’t care spring to mind

too true. we have all been in chains of infection that have killed people in the past and will in the future. that’s life! the only way you can avoid it is being last in the chain – ie dying. maybe lockdowners should commit suicide when they get a sniffle to be on the safe side

Absolutely. One of the things that troubles me most (although it’s a long list) is that we are now expected to accept individual responsibility for the health and life of every other human being on the planet – and so many have internalised this without question. I don’t see how society can function under these conditions. Surely the same persepctive will be applied in future to every other transmissible disease. We are all now minutes away from being declared guilty of manslaughter (if not murder). There can be no private life or individual freedom under these conditions – I am struggling to see a way back from this.

In that case, they should arrest all of the fat people who inundate the NHS with their being-fat-related health problems.

Design loads on the tracks fixed to the ceiling in the specialist wards are impressive.

Perhaps he’s confused by the Lady Macbeth ‘will these hands ne’er be clean …?’ handwashing meme.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company even encouraged Bard fans to scrub while reciting Lady Macbeth’s famous “out, damned spot!” speech.

I have given consideration to the, as they keep telling us, extremely high number of cases being reported which, they tell us, is evidence of an extremely dangerous situation in the UK. I wonder if anyone on here knows whether there is an official document or Table that lists all the Testing Stations in England (and the UK). The big question for me is that this number of cases is utterly and totally implausible and yes, I am in no doubt at all that the PCR test has fuelled this. However, that is only one answer. What I believe would add another useful bolt on to a better analysis of this ‘positive cases’ data is if they were broken down by individual Testing Stations, NHS in-hospital testing per hospital, Home Testing kits and other locations where testing is taking place. The Lighthouse Labs and other Testing Labs should be able to provide this data in any event. I strongly suspect this information would present a very different picture to that currently presented.

Just a thought.

From https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/testing

25-12-2020 339,024 tests

Apparently over 339 thousand people had nothing better to do on Christmas day than get tested.

Ok some of them are in hospital but

25-12-2020 pillar1 44,400 pillar 2 294,624

Did over 294 thousand people get themselves tested on Christmas day?

They are NHS staff and they were in work

What are the Pillars?
Tests in the UK are carried out through a number of different routes:

• Pillar 1: swab testing in Public Health England (PHE) labs and NHS hospitals for those with a clinical need, and health and care workers
• Pillar 2: swab testing for the wider population, as set out in government guidance

I very much doubt it any testing happened on Christmas Day! Good information though. Thanks

I have a job driving past Swindon testing centre at the the same time every day, and have kept an eye on it, driving past since October.

Today, (yes,NYE!) was remarkably, amazingly, stupendously, busier than any other day I’ve ever driven past.

It usually looks completely deserted, empty, with maybe a dribble of one or two cars visible.

Today it was rammed. Totally full of cars, bumper to bumper inside (you can see it from a bridge) at about 3.30pm.

Just sayin’.

Don’t depend on Lighthouse Labs:

“covid rule-breakers have blood on their hands”, “ I am watching whole families getting wiped out here, and it’s got to stop.”

hospitals overwhelmed etc

From Prof Hugh Montgomery of London’s Whittington Hospital

A quick look at

Healthcare in Whittington Health NHS Trust
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/healthcare?areaType=nhstrust&areaName=Whittington%20Health%20NHS%20Trust

6 in mechanical ventilation, 79 in hospital,10 patients admitted a day

serves a population of 500,000

similar to Bucks – seems like a normal winter if a bit mild

Prof Hugh Montgomery needs reminding of his oath, his alarm porn verbage causes harm particularly to vulnerable good people.

Notwithstanding the disingenuousness of his statement, what about the “blood” they have on their hands.

right – it was the NHS that purposely infected the care homes

“I am watching whole families getting wiped out here, and it’s got to stop.”,nothing like a bit of hysterical hyperbole is there ?,what a dickhead.

Is he really? Well, if there was such a deadly pandemic in the UK, I would expect to see supermarket staff dropping like flies, people dropping in the street, people working in Warehouses, in the post offices and sorting offices, bus drivers, NHS staff and other people. But, it’s not visible anywhere, not in NHS official stats or Govt official stats or in the positive cases stats. Most people I talk to don’t know anyone who has had it and I can’t see around me any evidence of any type of pandemic. It’s just a seasonal respiratory virus that has now been politicised.

Funny how the homeless and the druggies seem perfectly fine ???
Some killer virus

What a disgusting individual. And he actually KNOWS he’s lying – it’s not even as if he’s ignorant and believing the propaganda.

Perhaps the figure showing how many are discharged each day might be useful too – lest people think that patients are just piling in on top of the others!

‘Whole families wiped out’ Highly unlikely as the survival rate is 99% and children remain largely unaffected

Could this clown please name the families

Medical confidentially no longer applies as they are all dead

‘wiped out’ could mean a bit tired

Thank you for making me laugh. Quite an achievement today.

Whole families wiped out – so he is talking about 3 or 4 generations of a family? Looks like someone has been recruited to do some fear propaganda. Can’t see how this is helpful for the nation, just divisive nonsense.

I think actually, by making utterly ridiculous statements like this actually turns people against the official narrative rather than towards it. It is such a blatant lie and not a shred of evidence to back it up that a 4yr old could see through it.

You’d be surprised how many people in this country of ours are easily taken in by this type of hysterical media frenzy. Put a doctor or any quasi medical person up in front of them and he or she is immediately endowed with god-like powers.

National Enquirer, News of the World.

Rewrite – lockdown instigators have blood on their hands, I am watching whole families get wiped out by economic and psychological meltdown and it has got to stop.

100 million more in extreme poverty worldwide.

Perhaps Julia Neuberger who is chair of the Whittington Trust should be contacted for her views on this? I shall certainly be asking her when I next see her.

I remember her from when I used to watch Question Time. She’s one of those people whose every utterance I can predict because it’s the exact opposite of what I think about everything. I wouldn’t hold out too many hopes for her.

He’s an activist involved with climate change, it’s propaganda
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KbS8pe-DVSk

A thermageddonist, makes sense. The appaling ‘spoonsbotherer Councillor Perkin here is a vegan XR loving lockdowns enthusiast.

Why can he get away with this? Should he not be reported to the GMC?

It’s been said famously that free speech does not extend to shouting FIRE in a crowded theatre when there isn’t one. But it seems the BBC think it’s fine for a conceited consultant to shout PLAGUE in a crowded nation when there isn’t one. In both cases such fake alarm could well be the cause of unnecessary deaths.

Evil monstrous lies. That man should be locked up.

I was thinking last night in bed when I couldn’t drop off, not alone in that I’m sure. When you think of how we view serial killers like the ripper, Harold Shipman, Ian Brady, Myra Hindley, the list goes on. The hatred for these people is strong, but those in charge of this hoax are just as evil, if not worse. The amount of people who will die as a direct result of the lockdowns will make the evil people I mentioned look like amateurs. They know what they are doing and let it continue. In my eyes they deserve the dealth penalty, along with all the other scum costing us a fortune lingering in prisons for their heinous crimes.

concur with your views. but have you considered audible? did wonders for me and I have been ‘sleep challenged’ throughout my life

Will give it a try, thank you.

I would also include those in the medical profession who have been complicit in the lies by signing off deaths as covid when other major factors are involved. The whole government case for lockdowns is based on supposed covid deaths and cases, and the subsequent harm this is doing in the immediate effect and long term to the whole population is criminal and murderous, so all those in healthcare who are concealing the lie, claiming their hospital is on the point of meltdown are all complicit – claiming you fear for your job is, I am afraid, is no longer a valid excuse considering the consequences of your actions. If healthcare staff on mass came out with the truth the givernment’s case would fall apart instantly, that is how relevant their silence is.
I note that even the statement from PHE defined deaths from Covid as thise from the last 28 days with a positive test, they do not even hide the duplicity. Two and half million tests over the last seven days and the Christmas period, many couriers on holiday …

Absolutely, there are many people complicit in all this and it stinks to high heaven.

It seems that the rogue, corrupt states in Balkan, Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, North Macedonia) seem to have more common sense than Western Europe. Ivermectin has been used by more a billion people in the world for parasitic diseases. It’s inventor was awarded Nobel Price 2015 for its discovery. It is included in WHO essential medicine list for parasitic diseases. It is dirt cheap. It is widely used in veterinary medicine. Production can be scaled up very quickly. It seems to the best drug so far having an effect and is clearly killing the virus. There are even RCT studies proving it and it is used now in all phases of C-19 infection. Shall we take it with a pinch of salt? You should always do that with any drug. Have we anything to lose by using it widely ? .No. Even if it was less effective than the studies lives will be potentially saved.

We might be at the peak of second wave but there will be many more deaths on the slope down before any effect (if ever on the whole population) of the vaccine adding to herd immunity.

We have a safe drug and an experimental vaccine which we want everybody to take (instead of a selected high risk of population where risks might be worth taken). The safe drug is not allowed in the UK for C-19 infection. The therapeutic nihilism for antiviral treatment is shocking but not surprising in the Western Europe. Big Pharma has no interest in a cheap alternative and more importantly not risking the EAU for the vaccines. And they have the last word as we have seen from the beginning in this shambolic pandemic response.

https://twitter.com/Covid19Crusher/status/1344573458894778373

“It looks like the incoming Bulgarian Randomized Controlled Trial of ivermectin (n=120) has been successful, according to local press. The drug is expected to land in pharmacies mid-January. ”

 https://trialsitenews.com/macedonia-nears-approval-of-ivermectin-for-covid-19-as-word-of-the-drug-spreads-in-the-balkan-peninsula/

Good news. While the UK is top of the buyers league for vaccines, other counties have bought very little in advance. This leaves room for control groups to emerge. If Bulgaria manage Covid with prophylactic treatments and little vaccine, at a fraction of the cost and coercive propaganda, we have ourselves another Sweden.

Great news. Merkel will not be pleased. Control groups are exactly what they do not want. Expect enormous pressure to be brought to bear on Bulgaria behind the scenes and also through EU funds.

From my contacts the Balkans seems to be a relative hotbed of scepticism and ‘conspiracy theories’.

Ivermectin was mentioned on Sky News Australia back in October, where a scientist who had been working on it was so impressed by its effectiveness, he tried to interest the government – who, predictably, failed to respond.

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

It was most likely Thomas Borody,a gastroentrologist in Sydney. This is not a quack doctor or fringe lunatic. He is famous for introducing antbiotic treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection causing gastric ulcer. He was one of the first to promote Ivermectin and is one of the co-authors in the published paper for Ivermecti use.MSM/BBC has as usual buried him or stamped him as crank.

Belarus seem to be fine
Prob don’t have as many tubbies though

I suspect the testing is largely in house within the NHS

In an organisation with 1.7m staff there is ample opportunity for ramping up the testing numbers.

Then add care home staff and all the NHS and care home inmates

If the incentive for staff is two weeks additional paid annual leave what is not to like

There’s a community testing centre in Swadlincote near where I live where they are literally advertising on socially media for people without symptoms to come for testing. People are asking if they should come every day which actually makes some sense because you could catch it half an hour after being tested. The whole thing is insanity and they wonder why we are now in tier 4!

I know. Surely this would end if people stopped getting tested??

I think the government would just fabricate the numbers if they are not doing it already

Testing centre in Cardiff – last Sunday morning – 8.00 AM line around the block of fools in cars q-ing for tests
Bizarre as it is a ghost town normally
A lot busier now though
Must have a promotion on

I wonder why the smirking wancock and his accomplices are so unconcerned by the criminal investigation public enquiry into the handling of the covid emergency sure to come at the end of the never ending scamdemic…

they can blame SAGE

hanock will be the fallguy, it’s the only reason he’s still with us. Tosser.

I do wonder what will happen. politicians blame SAGE, SAGE blame the politicians for not taking account effect of lockdown (which they claimed was not in their remit), SAGE blame the modellers. Best is everyone just forms a circular firing squad

But who will fire first and with what calibre weapon?
When criminals fall out at trial and each blames the other it used to be called “The Cutthroat Defence” as they all tended to be convicted.

Because the only issue will be did they lockdown soon enough and hard enough. Don’t expect a PE to bring us any comfort whatsoever.

The public enquiry process itself is badly in need of reform, as parliament has more than once pointed out.

That will be why.

Public enquiries are usually cover ups. Most people involved will be of the same social standing, same universities, and will often be friendly with each other. It’s just usually a case of making it look like the system works to the general public – look at the BBC Saville enquiry – not a single high level person taking any responsibility or being exposed as involved, despite all the evidence otherwise.

We just went through a public enquiry over a renewables scheme here in Northern Ireland. Cost around £13m and it was a fill your boots exercise for people close to those directing it.

It did show how bad our public bodies are at managing finances but it has basically let everyone off the hook.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-54109527

It’s been just a confirmation of what we knew before it started.

It’ll take so long that they won’t be affected by it. Right now the focus is on creating a fear frenzy so that they can “save the day” with the vaccine and then move on.

Yup, that must be the plan.

Posted this short clip of cock yesterday. He swallows the swallow of a condemned man. I believe he is beginning to realise his place in history and its a little too much for him. Tears of confusion from him.

https://youtu.be/niyEdyt4_Sk

One future bus tour company make like to take advantage of what I am certain will become popular in furture a dancing on the graves tour visiting sites across the country for tap dancing on gravesites when these bastards are gone.

A club 18-30 piddle on their grave tour bus would also be popular.

Only if you post it on TikTok.

Because there will be enquiry.There will be no comeback.We have experienced a coup it’s just that the majority do not realise it.

Perhaps, for some reason, he and the complicit others think they’re fireproof. And perhaps they are….

yes, and the scamdemic needs to end before there is an end of scamdemic enquiry

Probably because they know the judiciary are in their pockets. You need look no further than the Simon Dolan case result….

seen yesterday on LS – needs repeating

a healthy 34 year old civil servant is so worried about covid that he drinks so much water that it almost kills him

the country is run by morons like this. i think this story explains a lot about our current predicament

Drinking too much water causes low sodium, sodium ions are involved in a lot of physiological processes, particularly in conjunction with potassium ions.

yes, its notorious. happens to people trying to hydrate before long distance running. you should drink when you are thirsty. thats what thirst is for

Tea helps to stave off dementia for us oldies apparently.

Hyponatremia is extremely dangerous. My mum was suffering from this yet I only found out 8 months after her death (I was told at the time that she was “low in vitamins …”). The consultant I met with, after her death, told me that his hospital always saw a spike in cases whenever PHE recommended drinking lots of water and his criticism of this advice was withering.

In the Army (according to my beloved, who should know) they are told to hydrate BEFORE exercise, and not to overdo it. This carrying bottles around while running is just more attention seeking tosh.

Luck escape from C-19 death.

 This letter from Peter Goetsche to BMJ is worth reading see a quote below. Goetsche is famous as one of giants in evidence based medicine. This is ironic .He was a hero for BMJ and Richard Horton Lancet previously in his attacks against Big Pharma’s exaggerated claims of drug effects for different diseases. This has now changed completely after C-19. He is now a pariah claiming no evidence based support for masks and lockdowns etc..

“These data contradict the assertion by Pastor-Barriuso et al. that the infection fatality rate for COVID-19 is about 10 times larger than that for influenza. It seems to be about the same. In Denmark, when blood donors were tested for coronavirus antibodies, the death rate for COVID-19 was only 0.16% (8).
Pastor-Barriuso et al. concluded that their result supports existing measures, “e.g. social distancing, face masks, and educational campaigns.”
I disagree. The infection fatality rate seems to be about the same as for influenza, but we have never introduced these drastic measures before, when we had influenza pandemics. And we cannot live with them for years to come. The World Bank has just estimated that the corona pandemic has caused an increase of about 100 million people living in extreme poverty (9). This is not because of COVID-19. It is because of the draconian measures we have introduced. We need a better strategy.”

Really very interesting indeed. Many thanks.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55479018 a consultant from a London hospital blames people not following the rules for the rise in cases saying they have blood on their hands.

Not me, all the sanitizing has enhanced my OCD.

But they ignore the Covid Fanatics and Covid NHS of course who have ‘blood on their hands’ caused by the treatments delayed and stopped,

Just because they keep repeating something, doesn’t make it true. More psycological warfare to shame people into compliance. Really am sick of it!

I keep posting he’s a partisan activist for the climate change agenda. The ends justifies the means for these people.

Not me…but I might well have Covid on my hands if I visited their hospital to be and found its infection control as poor as I have witnessed in our hospitals both in person and on the TV: nurses failing to put on new gloves between sanitary tasks, TikTok dancing, free meals for staff brought in from takeaway estanlishments with unknown hygiene standards, elderly and confused people left to wander wards, touching everything in sight, and consultants failing to sanitise between patients.

What a disgusting scaremongering article. As it appears from comments elsewhere that his hospital is not any busier than a typical year is there anyway we can find if he has links to big pharma or Bill Gates which has motivated his comments?

Professor Hugh Montgomery, Head, Centre for Human Health and Performance, University College London

Professor Montgomery was educated at Plymouth College and qualified as a medical doctor in July 1987 from the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, University of London. He leads a research group in cardiovascular genetics which has published over 100 publications including original research papers in journals such as Nature, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine. He has been awarded the title of London Leader by the London Sustainable Development Commission for his work in climate change and health under the auspices of Project Genie; he was also a founding member of the UK Climate and Health Council and one of the co-authors of the UCL-Lancet Commission” in 2009.

Climate = Watermelon.

What is the colour for “idiot”?

The colour of money.

‘cardiovascular genetics’ sounds like a profitable line of private practice. NHS consultants do both.

He has been an enthusiastic supporter of distancing and lockdown from the beginning – doing many interviews.  For example, on Channel 4: 24/3/20 “I have no doubt at all that we will be unable to cope”; 30/3/20 Cases “not moving up exponentially” which “has to be a good sign”; 7/4/20 “There’s no sign for us of a slowdown”.

On 23/3/20 he was interviewed by the Evening Standard and noted that one infected person can pass the virus to three others, and after ten such cycles “I have been responsible for infecting 59000”.  He didn’t mention that after another ten such cycles I could have infected half the planet…

But his secret for surviving an intensive care unit was revealed in a Daily Mail interview 3/8/19: “‘Be physically fit,’ says Montgomery. ‘As well as lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease, if you are run over your chances of surviving are very much higher. If I do an operation on you as an emergency there’s a lot of work for your body to do, delivering oxygen and healing. It’s like running a marathon. If you’re not fit enough, you fall over. But in this case, you die. And having muscle mass is good, particularly if you’re old. Sugar, in the form of glycogen, gets stored in muscle and that reserve is vital.’”

The Daily Mail article also reveals that he once jumped naked from a plane at 14000′.  Personally I always obey the fasten seatbelt signs and wait till the thing has landed…

Shame he neglected to remove the parachute!

7/4/20 “There’s no sign for us of a slowdown” Peak UK C-19 deaths was the next day (too soon for the first lockdown to have had an effect)..

Haven’t watched it (I might destroy the TV) but is he the one who said that ”whole families are being wiped out”?

Yep! that’s the one…

His wealthy private patients perhaps? A tragedy if so.

Prediction time – at what point during 2021 do you think sheeple will start to open their eyes to see and see the truth? And what do you think their reaction will be? Is it too late?

2028…lockdown 25…no,not even then!

Once a significant percentage of them are jabbed, Boris will declare the emergency over and sheeple will congratulate themselves on a job well done.

Wishful thinking.This will never end unless enough people say it does..A more likely scenario is that enough people will get the jab but those who refuse will remain under restrictions while those vaccinated will have some freedoms restored.

The government seems desperate for a way out of this mess, hence the wonder vaccines. I agree some powers will be kept, but punishing those who haven’t been vaccinated is an admission that said vaccine doesn’t work, so I expect it will all quietly go away.

They don’t look desperate to me they look like they are loving the power.Anytime the government have had an opportunity to roll back they have instead doubled down.They are already seeding the idea that the vaccine won’t bring normality.I hope I’m wrong but the signs are not good here and across the world.

PM Boris Johnson promising to Build Back Better

Yes, I fear “they” are going to get away with this. It will be hailed as a victory for the scientific cavalry and our marvellous NHS. Any public enquiry will be as penetrating as they always are and just as expensive. We will then be subjected to austerity as never seen before to pay for the atrocious waste of our money.
Also, they have learned a valuable lesson; most of the public will believe anything and do what they are told. I despair.
I also fear lockdowns will become the norm rather than fixing our bloated and inefficient health care system.

Yes the NHS has passed the point of being fixable. As all parties in Westminster have prostrated themselves before it, no one will dare tackle the monumental waste and inefficiency.

Bow down before Moloch!

when the numbers are on the way down people get braver. on the way up they seem caught in headlights.

I think at least a sizeable minority of people (enough to make this whole thing collapse) are awake. I’ve always thought that the reason there is so little pushback is because most people are breaking the rules on the quiet anyway, and so unless they are a school pupil, student, or run a business, or are waiting for an operation, they’re not that affected by restrictions.

That’s the issue: people just aren’t affected enough, either because the restrictions don’t constrain or destroy their lives in any significant way, or they just ignore the rules anyway.

When it starts to hurt (preferably food rations)
They are still too comfy at the moment

Agreed and I said something along those lines yesterday.

It’ll be in May when they “postpone” the local elections again that there’ll be a murmur.

But it all depends on the next few weeks in the US and if Trump is elected to a second term. If not there’s going to be real trouble in general.

“Postpone”? Don’t you mean cancel? After all they wouldn’t want any sceptic candidates getting into positions like police commissioners or regional mayors. It would really piss on their chips.

When the lights go out!

If they ever actually lose out from this. But it may well be too late then.

If I can chuck my two pennies worth in I think some people will wake up around easter/spring (unless the fear factor is seriously ramped up before then) however I fear their reaction is likely to muted and just an acceptance of their fate.

Not sure they will. I think they’ll detach from it and blame any economic fallout on Brexit.

Please could someone just check that my understanding and logic is correct in the following example? I want to include it in my email to the school about the testing.

“We know that the rate of false positives is currently around 90% or more.
Using, as an example, the 10,000 tests that were carried out on the lorry drivers going back to the EU last week:-
For ease, if we assume a rate of around 1% that would be expected to test positive – 100
Then at current prevalence, you would expect 90% of those results to be false positive – 90
Leaving just 10 true positives – trouble is that it can’t be told which 10 out of the 100 are the true ones.
The actual number of lorry drivers who tested positive was 23.
This means that all 23 are likely to be false.”

Am I correct?

FP rate is unknown but PHE estimated it at between 0.8% and 4% – it will change depending on a number of variables

if you test a group once and the positive rate is anywhere near the false positive rate you can ignore it as noise.

Thank you – I could say that ‘in this example it would mean the 23 would be false’.

I am just trying to explain the method of the calculation, so the numbers are for ease of the example really.

Use this as a reference

Cheers BeBop!

the infectivity rate in society is claimed as 1% (from PCR surveys)

if you tested 10,000 you would expect around 100 +ves

if your FP rate is 1% you would expect around 100 FPs

but its all complicated by FPR being unknown and changing and the real +ve rate being based on PCR with FPR itself

zoe app comes out at about 1% infectious too – this is self- reported symptoms. I expect its about right and lower than other seasonal viruses which also kill the frail

normal winters sometimes ‘everyone’ seems to have a cold.

@bmj_latest

“Today we remember those doctors who have sadly died of covid-19 in the UK this year”

***************************************************************************
Remembering the UK doctors who have died of covid-19
***************************************************************************

For context, which is something the world’s medical professions have mostly preferred to avoid like the plague this year, there are currently 335,824 doctors registered to practice in the UK.

Any surprise should be that only 33 doctors between 44 and 84 years old have died with a positive covid test.

To call 0.01% a “devastating toll” is an abusive devaluing of the language. Each of those deaths might well be “devastating” for the family and friends of the individual in question, but as an overall toll, it is the opposite of “devastating”. Rather it is minor.

The prevalence of this kind of infantile, virtue signalling sentimentality is part of the reason we are where we are this year. And it’s not a good place, nor is the direction of travel a good one.

considering they are heavily exposed and often tested, probably not a bad guess of IFR if you did the age weightings correctly

My first comment would be doctors still working at age 84, really? They are including retired doctors on list as well surely?
Secondly I totally agree with your comment. The most likely people in UK to catch covid and only 0.01% died is further proof that it’s not the deadly disease we are led to believe.

Well said.

To give you an example of how this logic is frowned upon in this context by lockdown lovers but readily deployed in others, to suit their bias, look at any news articles outlining how hundreds of doctors have signed the GBD or letters to government saying lockdowns don’t work. They’ll happily point out that 300 doctors out of 300,000 or so is just a dribble.

However now it’s a devastating number. Shameful. These people have value and should be held up as heroes.

It’s again a sign of faulty logic. Of bias being a driving factor in one’s thinking. You see this all the time. There is no hope for such people.

That’s me done for today, just like to wish all at LS a good auld yers noight as we say in these parts.

Have no idea what this is, but seems important and an interesting find!

Hi All . . And HAPPY NEW YEAR to lockdown sceptics everywhere. Big thanks to Toby, Will and the ‘team’ for your outstanding work this year in the face of the industrial-scale insanity that has beset the nation (world). Thanks also to all you chaps & chappesses here below the line that have been a constant source of useful information, a place to let off steam, a place to laugh and a ‘support group’ all at the same time. Here’s to the resistance in 2021 . . . We will never surrender, nor be shaken from our moral certitude. We are the humanity amidst the insane and inhumane, the truth amidst the lies and misdirections, the adherents to scientific principle amidst the corruption and distortion, and our world’s only hope. Stay strong all, the enemy is inside the gates. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. . .

Observations on the editorial piece above “ Oxford Vaccine Approved ”

1. General point: It really does seem that they are making this up as they go along (changing dosing intervals etc). It seems that the vaccine strategy is being driven by what is available rather than what is correct. Rather like knocking up a meal from what happens to be in the fridge, rather than buying the right ingredients.
2. Pregnancy – Pregnant and breastfeeding women can now take either of the two approved coronavirus vaccines “when the potential benefits outweigh the risks”, experts said at an MHRA news conference. How would anyone know the risks of the vaccine for such women? Were they included in the trials?
3. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine can also now be administered to people with a wide range of food and medicine allergies, but people allergic to ingredients in the vaccine should not take it. How on earth would anyone know whether they were allergic to the vaccine’s ingredients in advance either separately or in combination? Why are other allergies suddenly ok when they weren’t before?

It seems to me that more cohorts of guinea pigs are being added to this mass experimental vaccine roll-out by the day. The recklessness is breathtaking.

I remember reading Pfizer advising that pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take the vaccine as no trials done not even on animals, likewise interactions with other medicines, potential fertility issues. Now that is deemed irrelevant, but hey we have blood on our hands if we don’t wear a mask.

Just thinking on this point of removing the contraindications, maybe they realised there would be a large section of society that could be exempted because of the recognised contraindications and therefore mandatory or coerced vaccination for the whole of society could not be enforced.

Yes indeed – see Swedenborg’s post just above mine. This looks like a political move rather than anything to do with science. You can smell the corruption.

Infighting in Big Pharma. This is extraordinary and nobody is discussing this in MSM.UK has a big interest in promoting Astra vaccine but taking a decision that one dose works is outside all protocols and the MHRS is open to pressure is amazing. Many in the government have vested interest in AtsraOxford vaccine. Pfizer will not like this. Expect the sharks to fight each other. But the new dosing system for Pfizer vaccine is outside any protocol. How can Blair have more influence in this than the science approval of MHRA?. Scandal.

“Pfizer warns there is NO proof its Covid jab works when doses are taken 12 weeks apart as UK regulator scraps 21-day rule”

“I am shocked the the MHRA has caved into this political pressure. So much for our independent regulators. We now have an ‘emergency approval’ Pfizer vax being given ‘off protocol’ This is so wrong on many levels and severely undermines trust ”

Good news from Wales curtesy of the bbc

“Burger van owners can serve food to people breaking lockdown rules at beauty spots without themselves breaking regulations, a council says.“

Have we got a lockdown here in Wales then? What rules? I’ve only just caught up with February’s rules…

Just looked at cases for Suffolk. Southwold, latest 4 cases reported – this is the town that has plenty of second homes, since summer and tier 4 very busy with many visitors particularly from London. Considering false positives, doesn’t seem to have much of an issue, considering this ‘deadly’ disease is so contagious, but in tier 4 anyway.

Poor old Mr Orwell will be spinning in his grave…

Much discussion recently about how the NHS “crisis” is due to staffing problems and inefficient working practices (self-inflicted, basically, through coronapanic distancing and testing policies), not increased illness. Here’s some info apparently from an FOI disclosure, which appears to confirm that:

“ The data very clearly shows that the current crisis in hospitals is not driven by increased numbers of patients over the norm – they are lower this year than usual – but a capacity problem. “

Available beds (this year and previously), showing there is a capacity problem (undoubtedly due to coronapanic inefficiency this year).

Bed occupancy (general& acute) showing overall numbers are down this year.

regarding ‘blood on their hands’ doctor

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55479018

I suspect he is suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

I would get him away from the patients as quick as possible before ‘he proves himself right’.

Prof Hugh “Munchausen” Montgomery

fucking cunt he is – when the nhs gets its medical negligence deaths below say 20,000 a year, then we’ll talk about who has got blood on their hands…

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-medication-errors-deaths-prescription-drugs-jeremy-hunt-york-university-health-a8224226.html

Collateral deaths will probably be higher than that for years in UK. 100 million extra in extreme povertry worldwide. The Prof. is a thermageddonist and thus by definition doesn’t care about poor people denied the bare necessities of life.

Does he forget that the social distancing thing (well, the 2 metres thing, anyway) was just made up?

Most people ‘social distance’ when they are ill, anyway. People know their bodies; they know when they aren’t well. That’s why all the asymptomatic stuff is garbage!

As for this:

He added: “I am watching whole families getting wiped out here, and it’s got to stop.”

What a heap of crap!

Whole families? Wow, what a prick.

Hugh Montgomery has blood on his hands for actively welcoming in a new wave of fascism. Stupidity will be no defense when the trials eventually come.

Not that we would find the mask in pocket but this made me chuckle (albeit scarily possible):

From the Beeb ‘Blood on their hands’ story. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55479018

A further 50,023 new Covid cases were recorded in the UK on Wednesday, as well as 981 more deaths within 28 days of a positive test – more than double the previous day’s total.

BBC still pushing ‘reported’ deaths on a particular day as having died that day. Unfortunately, this is what the masses believe; already had one person tell me this morning that nearly a thousand died yesterday “according to BBC Breakfast”.

I sent them the graphic below. I also explained that those numbers covered people who died of heart attacks, strokes, flu, gunshot wounds, old age; they are only on the Covid death numbers because they had a positive PCR test, and that that doesn’t prove that they actually had Covid at all.

BBC = BLM. On this occasion the letters stand for Big Lie Machine.

I heard that absolute arsehole, or BBC Radio 4 News, going on about people who don’t wear masks have got blood on their hands. The Telegraph has this:

Covid rule-breakers have ‘blood on their hands,’ claims doctor An intensive care doctor has warned that people who don’t follow restrictions and social distancing “have blood on their hands.”
Professor Hugh Montgomery told BBC Radio 5 Live the hospitals were facing a “tsunami” of Covid cases that could get worse after New Year.

Git.

Beeb, DM and DT all appear to be running this story.

He’s right, it “could” get worse. Probably won’t though.

Every couple of weeks someone comes along to scare the public or denounce the skeptics. It’s part of the plan.

Death certification is an opinion, not an absolute fact in most cases. The doctor need not know the patient and may have very little to go on.

I think this killer plague thats worse than the black death will only end when all sceptics and rule breakers have been put to death and all politicians and NHS workers have been beautified.

There is nothing more evil than a granny killer who doesn’t wear a mask and doesn’t abide by the rules thats current on that particular day.

I’m a granny and I don’t wear a mask and don’t abide by any rules, is that allowed then?!. I said to my grandson that he better not stop hugging me just because he has heard some crap that he will kill me. Ok, I’m a young granny but I’m sick of hearing the same old rubbish. Just to clarify to Smelly, I know you are being sarcastic by the way.

PROUD TO BE A DISRUPTOR

As this year of huge self-harm comes to an end, just wanted to say a big thank you to toby et al. for creating this site. Came to it back in april on the recommendation of a friend. It has done what the mainstream media has largely failed to do this year – its called investigative journalism.

Also a big thank you to peter hitchens, ivor cummins, unherd, spectator tv (how I miss the former andrew neil politics show this week), talk radio, etc, etc.

In my opinion the public inquiry or inquiries to come will largely be an establishment cover up. They will be consumed by the detail of what the government did, not the
question of whether there should have been a series of lockdowns in the first place. The
fact neil ferguson has an obe should confirm this!

For me we must instead look to the likes of ivor cummins and his proposed “covid chronicles” if it meets the required standard. And of course historians if we have any non-pc publishers left in the future.

My final comments for this year therefore go back to the may podcast by david starkey – the year the nhs became a religion and we committed economic suicide.

David Starkey: Covid-19 — Britain’s Disastrous Response Will Have Devastating Consequences – YouTube

What about the guys at Offg? They deserve serious recognition too.

Had a civilised but frustrating argument with a friend there.

He thinks that if we all take the vaccine, the government will give us our freedoms back, arguing that, otherwise, we won’t have access to gigs, football matches etc and that they will continue with lockdowns.

The willingness of him to submit in the face of such obviously unreasonable demands is quite baffling.

Didn’t the government promise that testing would allow us to go back to normal? EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE HAPPENED.

How many medics have had the vaccine? The government won’t tell us, if it’s only say 50% why do the rest of us have to be 100%. And please tell your friend that many doctors and scientists believe that mass vaccination for respiratory diseases creates opportunities for novel pathogens.It may will be the mass flu vaccination programme that has created opportunities for SARS to get a grip in the human population.

Maybe that’s the idea – more SARS, more lockies!

Gigs and football matches will cease to exist. The biggest forcible shift in human behaviour in history is underway. Dystopia is here. It’s already apparent that the vaccines are going to make no difference. The Puritans want to extinguish enjoyment and sociability. And they are going to succeed. For the time being. Personally, I don’t plan on wasting my remaining decades waiting for the idiot tide to turn. So outlawry it is.

Oh it’s going to end. Hold fast. “This is no time to wobble, George!”

Strange that you should post this now because I have just returned from Asda (pretty busy, trolleys loaded with booze – some parties are going on) where I had an odd experience. The member of staff at the checkout said to me wasn’t it a good thing about the Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine now being available so we could all get back to normal. I asked if she really believed that and she said yes, it’s the only way. I then said to her that Van Tam had said yesterday that the vaccine neither conferred immunity or prevented transmission so things wouldn’t be changing any time soon until evidence could be obtained. I said Johnson also said that some restrictions would still be in place post April. I also referred her to the WHO statement about the vaccine(s) not conferring immunity or preventing transmission. She got angry then and said, she wanted me to clarify that, even if we all got vaccinated we would still be living like this in and out of lockdowns and restrictions, wearing masks etc. I said, pretty much yes, they stated this in plain English yesterday. I advised her to veer away from any broadcast mainstream news such as the BBC, ITV etc and away from the papers and search the internet for better quality and more impartial information free from hysteria. She thanked me and said she would. She talk her mask off to talk to me. Strange thing then happened, the man behind me in the queue took off his mask and asked me where he could get further information. I pointed him to Offg and here. I don’t think he put his mask back on.

Good to see that you’ve let someone in on this!

Two people in fact!

You wouldn’t say that if you were in the queue behind her. That’s tongue in cheek by the way. You’re doing the right thing.

Hero! Please keep being chatty! It sounds like your R for conversions per day is 2… if every one of us could achieve the same R we would be able to solve this problem in no time.

They told us that if we got tested life would return to normal. It’s got much worse, so I don’t really expect a vaccine or whatever that injection is, to do any better. I think we would do better with some Swedish scientists.

Indeed. The get tested to go back to normal line was a blatant lie.
