Protesters have gathered in London today to demonstrate against the Government’s delay to the lifting of lockdown restrictions. People held signs reading “Lockdown is a crime against humanity” and “Your obedience is prolonging this nightmare”. Eight arrests have been made at the protest, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The MailOnline has more.
Maskless anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown protesters have clashed with police in central London as they demonstrate against the delay of “Freedom Day” by blocking roads and hugging strangers in defiance of Covid rules…
Protestors offering “free hugs” and demanding an end to all Covid restrictions held signs reading “your obedience is prolonging this nightmare” and “our kids aren’t lab rats” as they marched through the streets…
Loud horns blown by the protestors were seen to spook a group of half-a-dozen police horses who had been drafted in to help control the crowd in Parliament Square.
The protest comes as Boris Johnson seemed to dismiss the prospect of easing the remaining coronavirus rules early, as he refused to rule out future lockdowns. He warned the nation should brace for a ‘rough winter’ whilst visiting a laboratory in Hertfordshire today.
The Prime Minister has delayed ‘Freedom Day’ by four weeks to July 19th – but a two-week review will take place on July 5th to see if the return to normal can be moved forward. Mr Johnson said ‘Delta’ variant cases, hospitalisations and admissions to intensive care are still rising and the country must therefore be ‘cautious’.

MPs were gagged, apparently, and could not ask questions about the Southport child-killings. There was a clip of the Speaker himself declaring this but I can’t find it now, so here’s Isabel Oakeshott instead;

We thought the last poisonous dwarf Speaker was the pits but Hoyle could actually be worse ( obviously doing the job he’s been given )
There’s twitterings online that the child-killing psychopathic jihadist is always drawn hiding his face because he’s got a ‘Muslim beard’. I’m not sure that’s the case because what’ll happen when it comes to the point when he takes the stand and has to speak? Surely to god they wouldn’t allow him to wear a mask in court?? Covering one’s face in court is never allowed is it? Especially as he’s now an adult. He doesn’t have the right to anonymity, like a cowardly PoS. We all, and especially those poor parents, have a right to see his ugly, evil mug directly.
Tice asks the question & Starmer gives a non answer ! What a human sewer that place is ! It’s pointless ! They knew Southport was terror related & still they smeared & locked up ordinary people for expressing their angst for those poor children & adults . Worse still, in prison they are amongst ROPeace sympathisers who had just had one of their own followers commit the murderous carnage . There are no words to describe these so called MP,s

I note that the Global Times (yes I know – read it with a pinch of salt) has a comment on the EU tariffs on Electric Cars EVs;
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202410/1322168.shtml
In an indication of how things will go under this Government, I understand that the UK has no plans to increase tariffs beyond the standard 10% vehicle import duty. The BYD car company plans to import it’s Seagull model into the UK next year. This is a low cost, low range, small battery EV that is only really suitable for local utility travel;
https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/byd/362943/new-byd-seagull-will-come-uk-2025-rival-dacia-spring
I suspect that Starmer/Reeves/Milliband will enthusiastically embrace the BYD EV imports as another part of their masterplan for the UK economy and an answer to anyone who queries their vision of an EV future for the UK. As yet we are still being allowed to continue to use our petrol/diesel (ICE) cars but will that continue to be the case in the future? Or will we all be forced into BYD Seagulls with our travel confined to local utility trips?
“The charts that show why Reeves has condemned Britain to a low-growth future”
When you give it away in big pay rises to the unions it seams like everyone has to pay extra to replace it!
Where is our daily paean to Gen DeWitt Smith?
Millions of working people will suffer from Reeves’s first Budget, OBR confirms
There has obviously been a lot of commentary about the net effect on wages offered on account of employers having to pay more NIC with a 1.2% increase. Although there are probably quite a few intelligent accountants in the Treasury, you’d have thought that this would encourage incentives to offer benefits that are “off the books”, cash free bonuses etc, in lieu of higher salaries.
Following Starmer’;s refusal to answer the question RTice put in the HoC about openness following criminal acts, a suitable FOI would be “Did the PM or any minister or any civil servant with their knowledge have any knowlwdge of discussions about witholding information ab out the Southport murderer or allowing fals information to be circulated”.
Clearly they did and people have gone to prison for commentringf who ought not to have been arrested.

This has to be the most dangerous, underhand and nationally damaging item to come from this budget. A 20% tax on the value of a farm on the owner’s death will result in family farms being eradicated.
The net result will be that farms will be bought up by the big agri-corps, Monsanto and the rest and industrialised farming will take over and the real poisonings will begin.
This was a truly evil move and will wipe out family farming within one generation.
Control the food (and water) supply and the people are definitely controlled.
A calculated “improvement” on the Dutch method. Cynical, nasty, evil.
The irony is that if you want to improve the soil, help nature and ‘save the planet, the mixed family farm is an ideal style of operation.
Although part of the problem is that many family farms leave it too late, you can put the family farm into a trust as long as everyone is cooperative and helpful, but that is not always the case in the farming world!

TCW takes apart yesterday’s criminal budget…
“Their watchword is the wicked austerity the previous government allegedly inflicted on the population. This is the primary untruth as the verifiable reality is public spending increased under Johnson/ Sunak by over £200billion (or some 20 per cent) in real terms over the five years of the last government. Outside war, that is an unprecedented record.”
