“The alarming reality of cheap Chinese cars on British roads”
I don’t know about ‘Woke’, it seems to me we’ve been fast asleep for the last 15 years.
IMO no ‘green’ technology should be permitted for sale unless it has a workable and acceptable system in place for re-cycling and disposal at the end of its life. This flood of cheap Chinese EVs could become a mountain of scrapped EV’s that nobody can handle in a few years time.
If these cheap chinese golf carts are anything like their electric scooters, there’s going to be bonfire night, every night.
‘Made in China’ and ‘Landfilled in the UK’. Most Chinese products are not built to last. The very fact that we seem to accept this ‘Made in China’ label as the norm now is deeply depressing. I try to not to buy anything made in China but try as I might, sometimes it is nigh on impossible. Even products with names known for quality are made in China. In Tesco, the garlic comes from China! Importing this EV rubbish with their spontaneously combustible batteries is a bad idea but when did bad ideas stop anything happening in clown world?
Coming to a garage,shopping centre, car park,domestic dwelling, FERRY, airport, school near you!
One of them even burst into flames on a stand at the actual car show!

Dr Engler talking sense again. I haven’t listened to the podcast but he wrote a substack about it;
”Finally, if it’s not obvious, it’s worth reiterating why I am so fixated on the question as to whether we actually had a pandemic, and what dangers attach to the (false) notion that we had a dangerous lab-leak.
The answer to this is two-fold:
Firstly, huge harms have been wrought on the world’s population based on the assumption that we had a global problem requiring a top-down centralized global solution. In my view that’s a dangerous notion in itself, easily twisted and usable by bad actors with control over the media for a variety of purposes which may not be totally benign.
Secondly, and more specifically related to “viruses”, whereas the likely proposed solution (centralized, top-down of course) to the “lab-leak” will be some sort of ban / treaty on “gain of function”, this always leaves open the possibility that in future someone will claim (truthfully or not) that a leak has occurred, perhaps by a rogue nation or by a rogue scientist, and the same fear-porn driven nightmare could play out once again.”

Wow, read this. 100% evidence right here that the NHS have no interest in helping the elderly recover but would rather kill patients off instead. As I’ve said before, the vast majority of deaths were due to doctors and politicians, not a flu-like illness where people were actively denied early treatment. Thank god for this man being switched on enough to realise what was going on. And sepsis is easily treated with antibiotics ffs!
”I’m talking to a man who was told last October that his 75-year-old uncle – in hospital after being abused by his carers – was “end of life” and had three days to live. The doctors said he had sepsis and that he was definitely going to die.
The man – his uncle’s next of kin – managed to get his uncle home. They’d handed him a big pack of EOL drugs on departure from the hospital and told him he had to administer them to his uncle at home.
Nurses came to his home to check whether he was giving the morphine, Midazolam and two other drugs to his uncle and the man told them in no uncertain terms that he had absolutely no intention of giving his uncle those drugs as he knew what they did (his own mum had been euthanised with the same drugs in hospital in 2021) and, after telling him his uncle would “die in pain” without the meds, the nurses left. He never heard from them again.
His uncle is now fully recovered and living life to the full.
To me, this is solid evidence that the NHS were deliberately killing – or trying to kill – people.”

That’s a most heartwarming story although it also makes my blood boil – not global boiling obvs but close! My father died in hospital in February 2021. He didn’t get the vaccine because he asked me whether he needed it and I said he didn’t. He never got Covid either. BUT soon after he was admitted to hospital, he faded and died. He had just gone in for a fall. He did have mild dementia but he still knew who I was and my brother and he could talk coherently. I am now going to ask the hospital what drugs they gave him prior to his death. If they mention morphine and midazolam, I am going to consider issuing a lawsuit against the hospital for deliberate euthanasia.
I’m sorry to hear that ATR.. unfortunately it seems to be an all to often occurrence, and I would pursue it if I were you.
Both my ex mother-in-law and a girlfriends mother were both dead within a week after going in for falls. Both were cheery and chatting with a cup of tea on the first evening in hospital. When next visited both were drugged up.
On visiting my own father once, I found him almost incoherent and slumped on the settee. I investigated the cocktail drugs he’d been put on by his GP and got him off the lot all bar one. The man was back to his old self within days.
The chemical cosh or the goodnight nurse treatment is all to readily dispensed to our elderly I’m afraid.
Thanks, George. I’m glad your father made a recovery and well done for investigating the drug regime and putting a stop to it.
“Britain is getting ready for a deadly bird flu outbreak”. Hmm. I think they are pinning a lot of hopes on this one, as bird flu has been rumbling about for a long time now. I wouldn’t be surprised if, at Porton Down, they are working on some kind of gain of function to make sure it passes to people more easily. Whatever, they are desperately searching for that pot of gold in the form of manufactured illness + new vaccine = squillions of pounds all round.
I wonder how they’re going to kill the birds?
Hundreds dropping from the sky would be impressive.. perhaps a good dose of 5G @60 GHz should do the trick.. a few humans might stop breathing too which would enhance the effect.. EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN immediately..

“I wonder how they’re going to kill the birds?”
More wind turbines with 5G ariels on top!
That’s a cracker Dinger..
“manufactured illness + new vaccine = squillions of pounds all round.”
…and millions of deaths, which is what they are really after.
You got there before me, HP!
Yes people are waking up. Even Gatesy himself cannot deny that. This is why we can expect more from the WHO going into fear porn over-drive when they realise less and less people want to rock up and get their kids injected with any more toxic, untested against a true placebo crap that they don’t need;
https://twitter.com/ITGuy1959/status/1688640355325890561
Squillions of pounds and more dead people from the vax. It is demonic.
Bird flu & the sudden bird deaths occur when the communications network is ramped up ie happens in cities/areas where there is a concentration of cell towers or new LED street lighting is turned on.
EMF radiation is behind a lot of this, it’s acknowledged in the literature that EMF is harmful to animals yet it’s safe for humans….
The other thing to bear in mind is that in areas where there is a concentration of cell towers & LED lighting which links in to the communication network, there is a localised heating of the environment raising the local temperature which is nothing to do with the urban heat sink effect.
You’re on it Bertie.. “^”
Thank you George.
Advantage of being a member of MD4CE with direct access to world renowned experts, sadly now vilified & censored, who know about these harms.

Sir Nigel has really peed off the Davos Deviants and this is their response – We are coming for your cash.
It is very clear that they are accelerating their plans. The drive to become cashless is relentless: banks closing branches, ATMs disappearing, tills that take cash often out of order. I can see very clearly how they are manufacturing the end of cash. Have you noticed how Charlie boy’s head doesn’t appear on any coinage or notes? So many people blindly pointing their phones at readers without a hint of concern…‘cos it’s convenient, innit?’
Blimey Aethelred, I didn’t realise Chuckles was missing from the currency. That paints a clear picture.

This time a tennis player but in the last 2 days I’ve seen on Twitter a former pro badminton player, a young squash player, a triathlete ( when she was doing the swimming leg ) and a cyclist all die suddenly. These are just a few of the ones reported of course. Being young, fit and healthy has never looked so dangerous.
”Former college tennis star Lilly Kimbell died of a heart attack at 31 after she suddenly collapsed at home and was rushed to the hospital.
Despite efforts to perform CPR and save her life, doctors determined she had a massive heart attack. The lack of oxygen left her brain unable to regain consciousness, and she was removed from life support.
Kimbell was one of the most successful tennis players in collegiate history. She won a staggering 197 victories, including 109 in doubles and 88 in singles. She reached the NCAA Quarterfinals four times.”

??..is anyone from ‘officialdom’ going to weigh-in and explain these statistics? Which are not only happening in Singapore..??
@-aussie17
Singapore data drop Q2 2023

13% decrease in 2021 vs 2020
39% decrease from 2022 vs 2021
51% decrease from Q2/2023 vs Q2/2022
Something is causing significant drop in Live Births and increase in death!
