I am so fucking sick of the shit spouting out of the mouths of middle class, presumably “left wing” journalists. Today in the times is some leader with titled something like “until the vaccince divide is dealt with none of us is safe”. This is a piece of rhetoric gaining ground – I’ve heard many of my friends coming out with it. One of them said it to me the other day and I repled “unpack that for me will you – safe from what?” Are these people incapable of understanding the data which clearly shows that 99% of people are safe from this virus without vaccines. I am so tired of this now.
Can anyone explain this to me from the newsweek article ? It could just be inaccurate.
“His unwitting accomplice was Donald Trump, who embraced the theory, turning what should have been a scientific question into a political one.”
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-how-amateur-sleuths-broke-wuhan-lab-story-embarrassed-media-1596958
If you look at the transcript then Trump directly states that he’s seen evidence its from the Wuhan lab so I don’t why newsweek call him an “accomplice”.
We will NOT get any freedoms back until we take them back, it’s not about a virus at all
“GPs have missed the opportunity to diagnose nearly 35,000 people suffering with dementia”
At least some demented people can be diagnosed, by all and sundry, from video or other remote methods. These include Johnson, Hancock, Gove, Ferguson and the rest of SAGE, plus the motley crew of “nudgers”, “modellers”, “epidemiologists”, unethical “doctors” and all the others who have hitched themselves to the honey bucket wagon.
I’m not sure that there is a Bedlam or prison camp big enough to hold them, but it looks as if Napier Barracks may be available. Just add dogs, towers, searchlights, razor wire and a judicious selection of firearms.
Just been to the local tip with garden waste. Three vehicles drew up alongside me, occupants muzzled, I bleated loudly at them and they just looked at me perplexed . Used to do it quietly to myself but I am so fucked off with all this now I don’t care if I upset the sheeple, I don’t care if they come at me with machetes at least it would take the choice of continuing with this never-ending psychological torture out of my hands.
Having a really bad despairing day today.
I wonder if the Housing Secretary was watching Julia’s very expressive facial expressions as he was talking? Probably not.
Dominic Sandbrook’s article in the Daily Mail isn’t quite what the headlines suggest. By his own admission he is not anti-mask or anti-lockdown and is basically saying we will have to suck it up.
The Government is terrified of being tarnished with the accusation of opening up too early on the one hand and of being exposed for their blatant scare mongering on the other. Fortunately you can only manipulate figures for so long before it becomes obvious what is going on. Unfortunately there are now so many that have been terrified into submission there may not be enough left to recognise the obvious when it does finally comes out. Remember that a large proportion of the population are only ever exposed to main stream media and objective journalists like Julia are few and far between in this arena.
This woman is by far and by streets ahead of any journalist out there, she is doing her job, asking questions, holding these blustering tyrants to account. She deserves some sort of prize and international recognition. The BBC, Telegraph, ITV, The Times and all the rest of the milksop creatures that call themselves Journalists could do much worse than learn from her.
Well done Julia and Thank you.
I’m terrified of the Planet Zog variant.
Evidently, it causes people to put a hood over their head and sit in a locked room repeating. “Jab food good! Tastes of SAGE! Gimme more jab. Believe in Great Leader. He always tell truth”
Careful! That jabs infectious you know. it sounds as if you might have been getting a little too close to somebody that’s been pricked.
“A group of school leaders is calling for pupils to be vaccinated as a matter of priority, the Guardian reports”
These are not school ‘leaders’ – obviously. You notice the terms ‘Trust’ and Chief Executives’.
Such are the spawn of academies – self-serving appointees with pointy shoes and sharp suits who are in a money-making game that flowed automatically from the academy programme – a money-making game for government tarts, not about education.
AS to the ‘unions’. They, too are a disgrace to the term ‘education’, seemingly taken over by another group of classroom-shy chancers rather than professionals.
The gradual decline goes back over about three decades of increasingly corrupt and vacuous politicians driving the country. Professional associations of all sorts have been utterly useless against this latest assault – across the board.
I think there may have been a time when the school governing bodies and the Unions considered the well being of the pupils under their care but I fear those times are long gone. I certainly can’t remember them. However I can well remember being told a few years ago that one of the primary tools employed by the communist party was to get them while they’re young. Quite how true this was (or is) I don’t know but it is frightening how many people are not horrified by this but actually think it is a good idea. This current situation however is a little different in as much as it does not only involve indoctrination of the young and innocent but essentially their potential sacrifice as well.
The “vaccines” that are being promoted as “safe and effective” fail to meet either of these two definitions. Firstly, even the governing bodies that control the use of these drugs and are actively promoting them have only granted these drugs an “emergency use” classification (unless that has changed over the last few days. I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies). This is not the same as an approval rating. Unfortunately… Read more »
So, we want everyone to be vaccinated so we can be free, but we are not sure vaccines work with this or other variants in which case we can’t be free. What tyrannical nonsense.
Well done JHB! She asks all the right questions and that slippery bastard Robert Jenrick refuses to answer any but by doing so actually does; the government have no intention of giving us out rights and freedoms back, ever.
This corrupt cadre of politicians, scientists and medical professionals are in too deep now. They cannot stop, because once they do, they will rightly be held responsible for the catastrophic damage they have directly caused. Therefore they will do whatever needs to be done, however insane and irrational, just to delay judgement. Hence they won’t stop, so, they have to be stopped.
Tyrants rely on fear and lies to prosper. Once people see through the lies, only the use of fear remains. Just don’t fall for the fear trap.
Haha only 12 hours ago I told a friend, wasn’t it funny how unbalanced had dropped off the news circuit, first his pharma shares and now links to fauci are coming to the surface, amazing.
Why is the Bournemouth local paper reporting an extension to lockdown?
https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/19352202.exit-lockdown-reportedly-delayed-two-weeks-covid-cases-surge/
More falsified test results being used to keep us all in chains?
Maybe the Right Dishonourable Ellwood (although I’m warming to referring to him as simply “el traitor”) has leaked a story in return for being allowed to send in 15,000 heavily armed troops to start doing fraudulent and pointless PCR tests. El traitor can order the troops to invade, sorry, enter the city in a fleet of those lovely new tanks they’ve just spunked billions on that are useless because they cause those onboard to feel very ill, (presumably because they have so much wireless tech that the tanks end up doing the work of the enemy – when you don’t recognise that wireless can do harm because doing so could create all manner of legal issues regarding stupid and unimportant things like public health, the win at all costs attitude can backfire. 5G ….hint hint), then they can start injecting everyone with experimental bio-reactive agents so the people of Bournemouth can all start manufacturing loads of weaponised Wuhan spike protein in their own bodies, no-one can tell them where in the body exactly, but whatever, if you make spike protein in your brain or your heart, nevermind, that’s Covid, all that could happen is your body might attack these areas… Read more »
Why isn’t Lord Sumption mounting a legal challenge? Surely he is one of the most qualified people to do this. He must know of a way to get something threatening to the agenda into action. Couldn’t he do something for free on behalf of the human race/himself/his family and friends to counter this tyranny? It really sickens me that these verminous people are getting away with such brazen criminality
There have already been several legal challenges, all of which have failed. I think there’s one still ongoing: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/the-coronavirus-act-2020/
I’d be astonished if Sumption had not, behind the scenes, given advice to the Dolan case. Certainly the main thrust of the Dolan case was his position – that the 1984 Public Health Act did not grant general powers to detain whole populations, and that it was unconstitutional to remove basic freedoms by Statutory Instruments, and that instead the Civil Contigencies Act should have been used, which requires regular renewal by Parliament. The result would have been the same, but at least it would have been more explicit.
Sorry not good enough.The Dolan case was a pitiful effort. We need something far stronger than that. Personal criminal prosecutions for wrongdoing on a grand scale. Is this country really so far gone that the only effort to bring this tyranny to an end is some rich guy trying to protect his business interests? Is that it? Fucking shithole full of vacuous pricks.
Dear Spanish Government
Thank you for your kind invitation to walk around in 30c wearing a face mask
Apologies, but I plan spend the summer drinking scrumpy in Blighty
Yours faithfully
A former customer
Seconded. Another former customer.
Thirded.
My parents live there, but me and my family won’t be getting involved in the collective psychosis.
They’re more than welcome to come over here for a break from the madness.
My second grand-child has just been born in Spain, where my son lives. I have sworn to have nothing to do with the Corona madness, for obvious reasons. Sad as it is for me and my son I won’t be visiting them while the madness continues. I will never forgive the bastards responsible for the destruction of our society.
If you want to know about the unspeakable horrors of ‘zero Covid’, read about Hellbourne (above). And reflect that this is most definitely for ever, because the magic snake oil is already available there and has made no difference. Nor
has the fact that nobody has died or even, so far as I can gather, been hospitalised.
Melbourne: Zero Deaths, only one hospitalisation (one 95 year-old lady, presumably with Covid not because of Covid, as we would expect) and just 60 or so cases in total in a population of six million (a ‘case’ count which is already being pared back statistically because of false positives). No end to this latest lockdown (which is costing the Australian economy $1 billion a day) is in sight because the contact-tracers keep losing the scent of rogue community ‘cases’. The pollies who have hitched their star to ‘Zero Covid’ have made a rod for their own back (and, more importantly, ours) in their fool’s errand to eliminate a virus that doesn’t even need eliminating, so innocuous is it at a population level.

Can only sympathise, and hope that the zero morons over here don’t follow suit.
Jenrick is the prick from central casting
What should be done with him is not printable here
“why the reluctance to discuss natural immunity”? I should think because it goes against big pharma’s profiteering agenda. Like when they tried to have apricot kernels banned as there is no money for them in preventing cancer that way. Murdering villains.
“Face coverings for wind instruments” – do you wear them at the back? two of them? 🙂
What’s the saying, doing the rounds at the moment? If you can smell a fart through a face mask, it’s not working…or something like that.
Grauniad reports school leaders calling for pupils to be “vaccinated”. Why? How many “Covid” deaths of healthy children? that number again – O.
Are children really more at risk by not being vaccinated? But I forgot, children’s interests are not a priority.
Dr Ros Jones, from HART:
“A responsibility of a society is that the adults look after their children and not the other way round.”
Someone please tell the Grauniad. And school leaders. And the government. And “SAGE”…
And 2/3rds of parents….
Yet still only 42K have signed her petition.
Apparently, many are not signing because it says don’t vaccinate until Phase II Trials are finished in 2023. They fail to appreciate the following.
1/ It is the only petition that’s been allowed.
2/ Most of the general public (including some MPs) are completely unaware that Trials are still ongoing.
3/ The trials are already showing that the vaccine is not safe for children.
If the petition is successful it could open up the whole conversation.
This is clearly coercion and I’m fairly sure it is illegal to coerce someone into taking something which has huge potential for harm. It is illegal to coerce someone to take a poison. The only way to do anything meaningful about this is to write to the teachers involved and the head teachers or any teacher who appears to be piling on the pressure and serve them with a “Notice Of Liability”. Doctors For Covid Ethics have written one of these to the EMA so this has obviously been checked by expensive lawyers and could easily be adapted. It relates to children too.

And Covid jabs are classified as a poison according to the Australian Government
Public Health Act 2016 (WA) – Instrument of Authorisation – Authorisation to Supply or Administer a Poison [SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) VACCINE – Australian Defence Force] (No.2) 2021

It was Dr Roger Hodkinson who mentioned servving Notice of Liability to those promoting this crap. These people need to understand the gravity of what they are doing, this is a great way to do that. This interview with Dr Hodkinson is highly recommended.
Dr. Hodkinson Interview – COVID-19 Vaccines, Infertility & Spike Protein Dangers

Yes, in the same article some woman from the CDC saying she’s shocked how many children are being treated for covid, and on ventilators! She doesn’t say however if these are HEALTHY children rather than children with serious underlying conditions, which I suspect they are. Of course a bit of investigative journalism might help but why spoil a good bit of fear porn?
The sheep now think that a mask protects themselves and that a vaccine protects others. The labels say the exact opposite, of course, and both labels are at best a stretch, probably just fake news, possibly fake news with dangerous side effects.
You cannot reason with cult members.
And: as they believe these absurdities, they will commit atrocities against the unbelieving.
Children are now at totally unnecessary risk of Covid vaccine caused damage and death. That risk is totally unacceptable unless you are from government or are a government sponsored entity, Big Pharma or are called Bill Gates.
