  • “Jurgen Klopp says refusing vaccine is like drink-driving as it endangers others” – Vaccinations among footballers has become a more pressing issue after reports that only seven of the 20 Premier League clubs have fully vaccinated more than 50% of their players, reports Sky News.

  • “Man arrested after police alerted to fake vaccine passports being sold for £750” – Hampshire Constabulary were alerted to counterfeits being produced in the Basingstoke area, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Pandexit, please: The need for a Covid end date – Issue XXIII” – “The rolling Covid mandates and restrictions sidestep the most important question: what is the end-game,” writes award winning health journalist Gabrielle Bauer in the latest print issue of Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “It Was Always a Con: The Covid Debacle” – “We are precariously on the crossroads between recurring paralysis and breaking free of the tripe we’ve been fed,” writes Omar Khan in Uncommon Wisdom.

  • “No, Zac Goldsmith, Teslas are not the solution to the fuel crisis” – “No, the petrol crisis is not a lesson in the delights of electric cars,” writes Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “Homes may have gas cut off if they refuse to take part in hydrogen trial” – Powers to enter people’s homes and switch off their gas will only be used as a “last resort”, say ministers.
  • “It’s Greta Thunberg who seems to be at the helm in Germany. But that just signifies utopian promises, not real green progress” – German politics, in its entirety, appears to be a kind of frontispiece. A strange and largely nonsensical virtue signal that goes beyond even the normal politicking of other nations, writes Brendan Heard in Russia Today.
  • “Why woke is a spin-off from Christianity – minus the mercy and hope” – Woke has a Calvinist pessimism about our Total Depravity. You cannot escape your Original Sin, the best you can do is confess it, writes Tim Stanley in the Sunday Telegraph.

In The Telegraph, William Sitwell rails against the BBC Today programmes. He writes: “And it’s that strong whiff of institutionalised bias, of Left-wing consensus, that emanates from the BBC; such a strong whiff that not only led to the launch of the channel (GB News) – but saw audiences flock to it”.

He later says: “That air of disdain to PMs and broadcasting interlopers sustains as if
they are like the Collins English dictionary: a benign and righteous breath of official, correct air”.

Reading his piece, I was thinking to myself – welcome to the party; he’s very late to it, but it’s good to see more and more people seeing the blatent bias of the BBC.
He then concludes his piece with; “Now this is all sweet agony for me, as I’m a Today addict. I can shout at the radio, but I can’t give it up.”

I don’t understand the self-flagellant mindset that can continue to listen to dangerously biased news outputs when the person themselves is aware that it is biased. Perhaps he’s addicted to having his piss boiled?

‘Strong whiff’?? More like foul stink. The Biased Bollox Corpse is an arrogant, self-entitled, over-privileged, money-grubbing bunch of Leftard parasites who think they’re justified in charging everyone with any kind of device with live programmes on them – produced and paid for by the BBC OR NOT – £170 a year.

Daylight robbery in order to fund their *crap journalism, self-righteous climate drivel, marxist dogma and anti-British propaganda. No way should anyone be forced to support this outdated, clapped out, 100-year-old anachronism.

People should just refuse to pay, keep their front doors locked and block entry to any officious busybody trying to talk their way in to see what they’re watching. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO ENTER.

*crap journalism such as that Kuenssberg fishwife allowing Chris Packham to make a false claim about The Daily Sceptic without challenging it and then putting it on TwitterX. I’m very pleased to see that the morons have had to withdraw that programme from catch-up viewing.

And if Netflix is stupid enough to start streaming live programmes, exposing their UK subscribers to spurious claims by the BBC that they are now owed £170 a year by Netflix viewers for NOT watching BBC programmes, they will find their subscriber list diminishing fast.
Being American, Netflix probably doesn’t have a clue about the ridiculous situation in the UK that allows us to be forced into paying for something we don’t like or watch on pain of fines or even prison if the fines aren’t paid.

They should rename the BBC ‘Gangsters ‘R’ Us’.

“Bird flu virus found in one-fifth of US milk samples, testing shows” – Early results from sampling study suggest bird flu could be widespread in America’s commercial supplies, says the Telegrah.

…and caused one recorded human case of ‘pink eye’.

Since 2020, the virus has killed tens of millions of birds worldwide,..

DS covered this yesterday – No. Humans have culled [tens of] millions of birds worldwide.

“Feminism has left middle-aged women like me single, childless and depressed”

Petronella ends with…

“Feminism made the error of telling us to behave and think like men. This error was a grave one, and women like myself are paying for it, like gamblers in a casino that has been fixed. We are not men, and in living the single life, with its casual encounters, we play for much higher stakes and have more to lose. I wish I had not been taught to throw the dice so high. Even Shakespeare’s princes needed someone to look after them in their old age.”

It’s heart wrenching stuff and supports the little held belief that feminism does far more harm to women than good. I genuinely feel for her, and it’s encouraging that some feminists are finally starting to see it for what it is – a wholly divisive ideology leaves lives in tatters. I hope, at some point in the future, Petronella might also consider that at least half of those broken lives belong to men.

It very much hasn’t dawned on young women who see themselves as Princesses to be gained as a wonderful prize. Well, at 20 they might be, at 30 considerably less so especially if they’ve shagged every stag in the district and got a kid or two (different colours), and at 40 the ‘prize’ is starting to look like a saggy Booby Prize with all sort of baggage you wouldn’t want to go near with a barge pole. Want to end up lonely and alone.? Treat men like disposable servants to enable your every desire not partners to share your lives with. No wonder so many young men have checked-out from this game.

On the other hand she did go out with BJ so perhaps she had a lucky escape not to have been one of his deserted spouses left with traumatised children?

His second spouse stole him from his first, then whined when someone stole him from her. As usual, the women get all the sympathy.

Word is that she decided to commit adultery with her married boss editor of the Spectator for 4 years, then when he refused to leave his second wife for her, she went to the press in revenge and got him sacked as vice-chairman of the Tory party. It always takes two people to commit adultery, each as guilty as the other, but women always get sympathy no matter what they do.

It is also the case that women often get deliberately pregnant in order to force a man into marriage, despite assuring him that they were using contraceptives the whole time. Sometimes their trick works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Next we’ll be having “Adultery Pride Marches” with Adultery Flags in the streets, no doubt.

I don’t recall feminism as I understood it telling me to behave and think like a man, just to honour who I was as a woman. It certainly never told me not to fall in love or choose to live equally with another. External economic pressures and business practices, alongside increases in the cost of living, etc. were far more instrumental in forcing women into the paid workforce and, once there, to make the decision whether to ‘break the glass ceiling’ or not than feminism per se. Trouble is, ‘feminism’ as an ideology and brand is an easy whipping boy [sic] in these circumstances, unlike the large scale social and economic evolutions of complex industrial societies.

You might not have been explicitly told to behave like a man, but all the messaging was, and still is, there. I’ll walk into a pub now, see all the tattoo-covered girls drinking pints while effing and blinding, and think “F”ck. They’re more masculine than most blokes these days!”. Yes, economic pressures now make it all but impossible to raise a family unless both parents are working, but that hasn’t always been the case, and certainly hasn’t been the main motivator for most women as they pursue the dreamlike life they’ve been told men enjoy. The reality, of course, is somewhat different, but feminism has been spewing, on play and repeat, that women must, as you put it “break the glass ceiling”. There were no ceilings to break. Nothing that women had to ‘smash’ through. All there ever was were opportunities that women hadn’t previously experienced that men willingly gave them. In fact, men have actively encouraged women in the workforce. But, sshhh, we don’t talk about that. No, feminism doesn’t leave anything to chance. It makes sure that women believe in the age old story of male oppression and continues to give that tale life long after the embers of truth went stone cold.

I respect your opinion but wholeheartedly disagree. Feminism isn’t the whipping boy, it’s always been the boy holding the whip.

We’ll agree to disagree. I too am dismayed at some of the language and attitudes displayed by some of today’s young people, particularly with regard to personal relationships: even in jest its really toxic yet often unreflecting of their actual experiences of interpersonal communication. I wonder how much of it is being ‘nudged’ by dark forces on social media in order to destabilise the whole concept of the family. But that’s a whole other debate.

This is well worth listening to (nothing to do with feminism btw) – https://unherd.com/watch-listen/porn-and-social-media-are-killing-childhood/

I think a lot of the concerning trends we’re seeing in young people’s relationships are explained here. It’s a very even-handed account of young girls and guys relationship with their devices, and the immediate and long term damage.

Is it because of women behaving like men (tats, pints, effing & blinding) that so many men are pretending that they’ve become women and posing effeminately in ‘ho’ clothes and overdone make-up with coy smirks?

“You need a TV licence to watch Netflix — and you risk fines of £1,000 for not having one”

Earlier this month, the TV license fee rose 6.6% up to £169.50 a year. …
In a statement to the House of Commons, the Culture secretary said the £10.50 hike would be “felt” by households but added that the BBC was facing “increasing pressure” due to “a rapidly changing media landscape”.

Lying & propaganda costing a whole lot more these days, obvs.

“BBC removes Laura Kuenssberg episode after complaint over Chris Packham comments”— Good news!

“Hundreds of UK’s brightest students denied chance to train as doctors”
Years ago a news report revealed that US applicants for medical schools were being rejected for having conservative political views, so I wonder if that is also happening here.

“Bird flu virus found in one-fifth of U.S. milk samples, testing shows”
Watch this trend closely, as it is just another scam to destroy the dairy industry, as part of Gates’ aim to “Abolish Animal Agriculture” and force us to eat bugs.

“Sunak is right to put Britain on a war footing. Its meaning goes beyond defence” — Its meaning is that Sunak is creating a distraction to cling to power.

“Britain must brace itself for a wave of nationalisation” —Good! Nationalisation of transport and utilities is exactly what we need.
Privatisation has been a total disaster.

What we have learned is not to listen to the Royal Family on medical matters (‘We’re not doctors!’ No you’re not) or anything else for that matter, especially how bloody wonderful DIVERSITY is a la Charles 3.

They’re wheeled out to simply parrot the Leftard Establishment narrative verbatim.

Time to release the Royal Family into freedom, become a Republic and restore true democracy via Referenda on all crucial topics, especially migration legal & illegal. The Swiss make it work and so could we.
