I was just off to bo bo’s.
Morning all.
Good morning HP. Looks like I’m in trouble this morning. Actually, I think a few people are…
Good morning to you both.
To the downtickers, my sympathies for the nervous exhaustion and exasperation caused by having to see such obscenities before your eyes.
Such as “Good morning one and all, another fine day beckons”?
(I remember under the old system, you could get a hundred and one upticks and one down tick but never know there had been a downtick as it just gave the net figure (100). Now just one person can spoil your day.
as all upticks and downticks are shown. I suppose some people like the new system…).
Actually, I’ve passed from puzzlement to irritation to sympathy (not a lot, just a bit).
I can’t imagine feeling so negative and grumpy that I’d downtick someone for saying “Good morning”. So I obviously lead a much happier life than they do.
I wouldn’t give them a thought. Why walk with turkeys when you can soar with eagles?
Quite right. That’s the end of the sympathy experiment.
Thanks, myrtle (I’m confident that you’ll forgive the expression).
It’s my pleasure, and I received my first downtick!
But, I’m confused, for what do you need forgiveness?
There are those who find the exchange of politeness a sort of offence – I was confident that you were not such a person (one of those plays on words that really needs a face to go with it)!
They do? (I definitely don’t!) The downtickers I suppose. And they’re out in droves today aren’t they. I think perhaps they’ve been triggered
Preens feathers….
I love turkeys and eagles, but for different reasons!
Ooh, I’m in trouble for my love of birds…
To be fair, they have good reason to feel negative and grumpy with these lockdowns and human rights abuses…
I think I prefer this system because at least you know how much attention your comment has received, and of what kind. Under the old system your comment might have been read and appreciated by 15 people but if 10 people disliked it you’d think that very few people had seen and liked it. Sometimes you might get the impression that noone had even noticed your comment, if it was controversial enough to have earned an equal number of dislikes as likes. This system is better at representing the effect a comment has had on people.
I thought that at first, but then I started noticing the people who had made a great comment and then were upset by one troll downticking…
Afternoon everyone. It was so long since I had logged on here I almost forgot my password! Almost, but not quite. Panic over (imagine the panic over not being able to talk with normal sensible people – it’s been a tough couple of days).
I don’t mind the down ticks and I don’t get carried away by upticks either, although I do feel there must be something wrong with the downtickers.
I’m just glad there is somewhere like this where I can visit and express my views, freely-ish for the time being at least.
Imagine, staying up until the wee small hours when the news round up hits the screen, just so you can downtick someone who says ‘good morning’? And these people think they’re the sane ones…
Don’t underestimate how threatened some people feel by others calmly questioning things they have both accepted and used as the basis of their identity.
When you’ve went out of your way to demonstrate how nonracist you are to satisfy some inner void, a rational question about the wisdom of mass immigration and the problems it causes triggers an identity crisis, you white supremacist pig
, for example.
The weak will always be with us.
Morning all…my word you all get up extremely early or go to bed late. Yes, the Downtickers never sleep. There must be at least 9 of them who wait for Huxley’s first nocturnal greetings. I imagine them as new Puritans, dressed in black, with those odd hats on. Or maybe they’re lonely and lost trolls who have no more arguments and just wish to express their disapproval. I guess we will never know…
Could you imagine what they would do if, for some reason, HP went to bed early and he didn’t greet everyone? What would those downtickers with their mice poised over the downticking button do with all that pent up urge to downtick energy??
Maybe they’re in the CCP…
The world is round and there are different time zones.
Unless you believe the Earth is flat?
When it’s night time in the UK, it’s day time in Australia. Although…
“I met someone in the pub last night. He said he went to Australia and there was nothing there, just a big cross floating on the water. You’d be surprised how many places don’t actually exist.”
I seem to remember a story about someone from Australia who was offended to be accused of living “down under”…
And imagine thinking it’s going to make the reprobates desist!
Gosh, we’re so ashamed of exchanging these disgusting, utterly non-utilitarian civilities that we’ll never do so again? Not bloody likely.
P.S. What’s bo bo’s (am I being thick again?)?.
Bed / sleep.
Certainly up North it’s a term used by parents to babies.
Right, here are my posts from the comments on organic farming. I think I am describing healthy farming. RedHotScot thinks they’re nutters. Who is right? You decide…
Right, I’ll start with the Tegraph story, featuring Cameron and Moira Thompson, of Straloch Farm, near Enochdhu. You will see why this may not be in the interests of the pesticides and GM people.
The linked article below, worth reading in full (to borrow a phrase) gives a detailed account of their work, but the quotes below, give an idea of what they are about.
Tribute to Remineralization Pioneer Cameron Thomson of the Seer Centre (1947-2019) – Remineralize the Earth
As such, Angus Horticulture Ltd., which marketed organically-approved products on behalf of Rockdust Ltd. (the trading arm of the SEER Centre Trust), eventually despatched their product to Wiksunds Tradgard — a farm shop and place for courses and events just outside Stockholm, and the general agent in Sweden for rock dust. Lars Angstrom, a member of the Swedish Parliament, and his wife, Katharina, who ran Wiksund Tradgard, recognized that soil remineralization could improve the quality, taste and nutritional value of crops, as well as improve pests and drought resistance and reduce synthetic fertilizer runoff
As Moira has said: “This is a simple solution which could help solve the twin problems of crop yield and climate change, and it doesn’t involve drastic life changes by anyone.”
In recent years, the rich soils Cameron and Moira have regenerated in an otherwise infertile Scottish landscape are capable of producing giant vegetables and a huge biodiversity, which in itself serves as a fitting tribute for Cameron.
Produce that can be the basis for the reversal of human malnutrition and disease. Simultaneously, it can eliminate the “diseases” of the Earth: pollution, erosion, desertification, forest death-dying-burning, CO2 buildup, deteriorating climate, and more.
I shall also provide some information from the Telegraph article that gives additional details.
Reply to Hugh
As can be seen, their methods will not benefit Pfizer, GM or pesticide producers in the least, but would, I suggest, benefit the overall population if more widely adopted.
The Telegraph says of the Straloch Farm neat Pitlochry, “a less promising place to grow food would be hard to imagine”, and describes how “this land is exposed to the full might of the Scottish Winter. With many of its nutrients washed away, the soil has grown acid and sour.” But Moira Thompson’s farm has “made this sesert bloom again”. with “superb vegetables – large cabbages and onions” and “tomatoes, cucumbers, sweetcorn, squashes, courgettes and marrows” in their greenhouses and polytunnel.”
They have “created a fertile soil” and “proved that it’s good soil, not chemicals, that grows healthy crops”. They have done this “mixing the soil themselves” from “fine rock dust hauled from a nearby quarry [made from volcanic rock basalt] and green waste by Dundee City Council”, that produce “ideal conditions for healthy crop growth”, supplying “minerals that rainfall and chemical farming have stripped out of many soils”.with “compost providing organic matter for microbial activity”.
Most importantly, they “have shown that on a soil rich in minerals, and well endowed with organic matter, it’s possible to grow large, healthy crops without the arsenal of chemical fertilisers and pesticides used by commercial farmers today” (but as I say, will be less profitable to some).
The couple contend that “if soil minerals can produce a harvest like that high on a Scottish hillside, they will transform the health and yields of crops across the country”, leading to a “healthier, happier population”.
The couple say, “for years, people have dismissed us as cranks and loonies… bit it’s natures way and it works”. By theit fruits shall ye know them indeed. Naturally they would have suffered from what I would dub the dockleaf problem – pushing something useful, but hardly profitable, and we have seen a similar thing with the dismissal of concerns about untested “vaccines”, and tthe pushing of the gene therapy drugs rather than less profitable prevention of viral illness through vitamin D.
Right, I’ll get onto Phillip Day’s comments on the suject if I have time but his books are available here, and I would particularly recommend the first three on the present subject, though the site has much other interesting information.
Credence UK/Global store | (credenceonline.co.uk)
N.b. Phillip Day is a Christian who was recommended to me by a nun that I know. His newsletter also put me onto the OMNS and specifically this on vitamin D:
orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n04.shtml
Incidentally, I have mentioned Phillip Day on here before. He makes a strong case for vitamin D, vitamin C etc. As we have seen, the pharmaceutical industry (comparable to big food) have other ideas.
(Continued).
Onto Phillip Day.
“Organic versus commercial… another subject over which fatuous wars rage… Would you rather eat food which has been grown in minerally exhausted commercial soils, farmed year in and year out, where only the bare minimum of mineralization (fertiliser) is put back into the soil (usually nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium)?… Commercially grown produce will be drenched in fungicides, pesticides and larvicides to kill bugs because the crops in question because the crops in question are so sick they have no natural defences of their own so they get attacked. That’s the purpose of bugs: to attack and consume sick plants. And that’s the purpose of bugs in your body: to attack and consume sick tissue. Healthy plants can look after themselves, sick plants cannot… Healthy food makes healthy bodies, sick food doesn’t. (Food For Thought, Phillip Day, p31).
“Bad diet crashes immunity and makes you susceptible to disease. Eat food which is organic and know where it comes from.” (ibidem, p32).
David Avocado Wolfe: Health, Nutrition, Wellness And Personal Growth (davidwolfe.com)
(A website Phillip Day recommends on nutrtion etc. – including “5 hidden behaviours of a bully”!).
“Cancer patients would do very well to change their diets to as close to 100% organic plant-based foods, 100% uncooked as they can get.” (Cancer – Why We’re Still Dying To Know The Truth, Phillip Day, p151).
“The average apple sold off the supermarket shelf can test positive for chlorpyrifos,captan, iprodione, vinclozolin and is then sealed in wax for longer shelf life.These pesticides have variously caused birth defects, cancer, impaired immune response, fungal growth, DNA damage and disruption to the endocrine system”. (ibidem, p 248).
To be clear, Phillip Day is a strong supporter of nutritional therapy (which obviously big pharma don’t like), and a trenchant critic of the industrial-chemical complex.
I buy organic for taste for nutrition and to support our local farm.
I read the fascinating book Sowing seeds in the desert. It helped me understand the consequences of modern farming methods and soil erosion.
I enjoyed watching the film biggest little farm. So inspiring to see the reclaimation of dead land.
I am interested in permaculture and will be working on such a farm this summer.
I suggest Toby puts this in the daily update page.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/increase-in-hepatitis-liver-inflammation-cases-in-children-under-investigation
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales and the Public Health Agency are continuing to investigate a rise in cases of sudden onset hepatitis (liver inflammation) in children aged 10 and under since January 2022, where the usual viruses that cause infectious hepatitis (hepatitis A to E) have not been detected.
Our active case finding investigations have identified a further 34 cases since our last update, bringing the total number of cases to 108.
All the children affected presented to health services between January 2022 and 12 April 2022.
Of the confirmed cases, 79 are in England, 14 are in Scotland and the remainder are in Wales and Northern Ireland.
Of these cases, 8 children have received a liver transplant.
There is no link to the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. None of the currently confirmed cases in the UK is known to have been vaccinated.
The investigation, including information from patient samples and surveillance systems, continues to point towards a link to adenovirus infection.
Seventy-seven per cent of cases tested were positive for adenovirus.
However, as it is not usual to see this pattern of disease from adenovirus, we are actively investigating other possible contributing factors, such as another infection (including COVID-19) or an environmental cause.
We are also investigating whether there has been a change in the genome of the adenovirus. UKHSA is working with scientists and clinicians across the country to answer these questions as quickly as possible.
Thanks Kate. The list of offences committed against children will be a very long one.
I’m grateful to the brave doctors who will fight to ensure that the “vaccines” are properly investigated a “possible contributing factor”.
https://aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/hep.510240308
This lists the possible causes of hepatitis in paediatric patients: https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=hepatitis-in-children-90-P02517
http://drwerner.webseiten.cc/fileadmin/Dokumente/PDF-Dokumente/autoimmune_hepatitis.pdf
All of these children should have been vaccinated against Hepatitis B in their childhood vaccination programme.
Salmonella can also cause hepatitis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3893978/pdf/JFMPC-1-160.pdf
None of the children tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.
We don’t have any demographic information about the affected children nor their exact geographical locations.
John Campbell has a video about this on YouTube.
Seconded Kate. This cannot be overlooked or explained away, mind you watch the BBC and others give it their best shot.
What happens if, god forbid, one of these kids who has developed hepatitis dies?
Some have already have had transplants. You need to keep an open mind, not everything that goes wrong can be attributed to either SARS-CoV-2 or the vaccines. I strongly advise researching into the possible causes of hepatitis.
“Your checkout bill for Covid quarantine hotels: £400m” – Nearly £400 million was spent on quarantine hotels, the Telegraph reports, but just one in 50 passengers from red list countries tested positive
As I understand it, this is but a smallish portion of the amount that has been spent on saving the UK from Covid.
Does anyone have an idea of the total spent since March 2020? I’m speaking only of government expenditure. The sheer size of the sum might shock at least some of the compliant.
I doubt it. They normally come out with things like ‘But you can’t put a price on saving lives’. No lives have actually been saved of course but it comforts the compliant to keep on believing their obedience has somehow helped ‘defeat Covid’.
No doubt. But they never thought that they would have to pay anything. Listen to them squeal as the bills come in.
That was my thinking. It’s all very well when it seems free.
They will squeal; many already are, but they don’t seem to be able to join the dots.
somewhere over £300 billion wasn’t it? It makes HS2 look cheap (amazingly) anyway.
There’s no simple answer. You could look at it on an ‘opportunity cost’ basis & say, “what proportion of the UK’s GDP has been lost due to covid/lockdowns. This can’t be answered for years until the consequence of missed treatments are calculated.
A good starting point is probably£500bn.
Thanks NickR and others. Elsewhere in the economic world, I came across this, which may be of interest to some:
How Russia Will Counterpunch the U.S./EU Declaration of War | The Vineyard of the Saker
While it’s not true to say that countries with race-based caste systems, like Britain, are always failures, it is true to say that countries that have moved from a system where all citizens are equal before the law, to a race-based caste system are surely doomed to fail due to resentment and rage.
The most damage caused to Britain since the Blitz, was when the Scottish globalist and Neo-Jacobin James Brown sneaked the Equality Act into law a few days before he was kicked out of office. The provisions of this act cause massive racial discrimination against whites in their own homeland and create a caste system based on race, causing in turn division and hatred between races that were not there on this scale before.
All of this drivel about Whiteness, developed by radical, globalist thinktanks in the US , including notorious anti-white racists like Noel Ignatiev, with a view to breaking the WASP hold on that country’s power structure, stems, in Britain, from that Act. Repeal the Act, and arrest Brown for treason and throw in misfeasance in public office for selling all the gold.
I love white coffee! Black is alright though if it is good quality freshly ground rather than the instant stufff…
Shocking display of racism. You imperialist dog
But is it working? Multicultural societies collapse into civil war. The other side in this, the non-whites, are not likely to prevail.
These shrill announcements, coffee = white supremacy are imported from the colonies and lightly adapted for use here. They don’t really work. But they are an important barometer for the underlying thinking.
They are increasingly crazy because their grand vision is not working. The US is the supreme example. We are told blacks are held back and oppressed after being there for 300 years, yet the children of recent Chinese or Korean immigrants attend Harvard and MIT. So much for whites holding back non-whites.
All these initiatives do is accelerate the realization among ordinary people that distinct homogeneous societies emerge for a reason. Once people calm down they’ll soon realize the current conflict in the East is two groups of Slavs with different cultures who cannot share a landmass. Once you artificially add in people who are nothing like you conflict is inevitable, hence the nonstop propaganda. It is falling apart.
Once they get to the stage of seeing white supremacy everywhere, despite our very obvious decency in these matters, you know even they realize it cannot work.
The fallout will be epic.

Great interview with Dr Ryan Cole.
At 42 mins Cole discusses the mechanism for the formation of the long white clots observed by embalmers. he says they are amyloid like proteins, not normal clots, and the body cannot break them down.
It looks as if the spike protein causes the bypassing of normal clotting mechanisms, and the deposition of amyloid like proteins, which can transmit into neurological tissue and cause alzheimers like symptoms.
He does not yet know why some patients are predisposed to forming these clots. Ivermectin seems to block some of these clotting mechanisms as does a normal vitamin D level.
A very brave man for speaking out. Recommended.
“Another doctor who works in two local emergency departments said some of her patients reported taking ivermectin “upon the advice or prescription of Dr. Ryan Cole” and were “quite surprised to learn that ivermectin did not prevent or cure their COVID infection.” ”
https://idahocapitalsun.com/2021/12/16/idaho-doctors-pathology-board-accuse-dr-ryan-cole-of-endangering-public-health/
“Although there is no evidence to support this, Cole suggested that some of the COVID-19 vaccines could cause cancer or autoimmune diseases.”
“there is no scientific evidence that shows that mRNA vaccines cause autoimmune diseases,” Pardi said. “Multiple clinical trials have been performed with mRNA vaccines in the past 10 years and none of them found that mRNA vaccination caused autoimmune diseases. Further, we are not aware of any studies showing an autoimmune disease appearing many months after vaccination as Dr. Cole inaccurately suggests.”

Good article from Robert Malone
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/the-corruption-of-our-nation?s=r
In the 21st century, a new threat to democracy and the people’s rule has emerged. That is the party of Davos, the alliance of transnational corporations (TNC) and their representatives as the leaders and managers of global governance. This has yielded an emerging system of inverted totalitarianism on a global scale. Transnational corporate rule is not limited by national rules and regulations, and its tentacles are everywhere. At the national level, we see its effects on the judicial, legislative and executive branches. On the international level, the money and power from the transnational organizations has bought off entities like the World Health Organization. The nominal head and coordinating body of this globalized effort to control the world through capitalism has become the World Economic Forum, whose primary belief is that national boundaries are less important than global connectivity and management through corporatism.
Our corrupted political parties really ought to be forced to acknowledge their affiliation to TNC at the ballot box. So much for one person, one vote…
I think it is becoming increasingly difficult to hide the notion our elected representatives do not share the values or concerns of the electorate.
Not everyone is quite ready for the observation they are all globalist puppets. But I’ve noticed family and friends independently note how many of the politicians and media types seem to be secretly gay, oddballs or slightly off in one way or another. They definitely notice a pattern even if they don’t quite join the dots. I’ve even heard people say Macron, Trudeau and the NZ woman all seem a bit odd. Progress indeed.
Their downfall won’t be the masses waking up. Their downfall will be ineptness. The covid response has been a disaster despite much of it probably going to plan. That’s the problem with WEF types; they will share the same fate as the communists because their grand vision is so at odds with human nature. Normal people don’t willingly give up food they like, want to pay £1000 per month for energy or relish living next to a family of Somalis or Afghan tribesmen.
We are witnessing in real time the very hard limits of top-down planning. It rarely works, which means it often visibly fails.
Helsinki is full of Somalis – they are just everywhere in that city (obviously not where the rich white folk live). I bet many people are surprised to go to Helsinki and see just how many ‘foreigners/non-Finns’ there are nowadays. Brought in to undermine the wages and working conditions of the ‘working class’ Finns.
Finnish bus and taxi drivers nearly all replaced now – just like the P&O workers.
As for ‘multiculturalism’ – these different nationalities/races tend to stick together – you’ll find Somalis sitting at one table in the rooms where drivers have their breaks, the Russians sitting at another, the Yugoslavians at another, the black Africans at another, any remaining Finns at another … there is no real mixing of cultures.
Same farce there as here.
I do like Somalis.
From a failed state that started the piracy business because their fishermen were shafted by the EU and their corrupt government.
Indeed.
The nominal head and coordinating body of this globalized effort to control the world through capitalism has become the World Economic Forum, whose primary belief is that national boundaries are less important than global connectivity and management through corporatism.
Robert Barnes has made some excellent points about the effects of this new form of global connectivity. He argues that the sense of connection with the people of one’s own country, or any country, are so weakened that in the end these people neither know nor care about anybody except those they meet at favoured watering holes.
Those suffering the consequences of their actions and mistakes are people “somewhere else”, with whom one has scarcely any connection at all.
Hmm – should be “is so weakened” of course.
This is the same mistake the communists made a century ago. They believed their time was the first world war. After all, the working class men from Britain, Germany and France had much in common with each other. They’d surely join together to oust their betters rather than fight each other. They didn’t.
Globalist types consistently overlook the ties that bind us. They are drawn to globalism precisely because they lack the kind of deep roots most of us value. Not for nothing did the Russians call their conceptual ancestors “rootless cosmopolitans”.
Mass immigration will probably serve to remind the indigenous British what they have in common with each other. Throw in psychotic attempts to destroy our culture and force feed wokeness and even the inattentive begin to notice something is up. Some of my own circle make comments about the number of blacks on tv, especially adverts, and they are far from being racists. But they do notice the artificiality of what they see. They are beginning to make the same observations about gayness and trans kids.
That’s a bad sign for the WEF types, but predictable. They aren’t very good although can do much damage.
“they do notice the artificiality of what they see”
Well put – hard to argue with.
Was musing to myself only yesterday, re the enthusiasm for all things trans (my region felt it was imperative to position itself as UK leader on trans treatment despite failing woefully to provide even the most basic of essentials with respect to general healthcare and some conditions being untreated).
There is well documented HRT shortage in UK affecting a whole swathe of menopausal and peri-menopausal women and their health and well being. And yet, no problem getting the hormone treatments for the trans people. Doesn’t sit right.
Who knows what the truth is?
“Starting in mid-2021, Malone received criticism for propagating COVID-19 misinformation and conspiracy theories, including making claims about the toxicity of spike proteins generated by some COVID-19 vaccines; using interviews on mass media to popularize medication with ivermectin; and tweeting a study by others questioning vaccine safety that was later retracted.
Malone has also falsely claimed that the Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines could worsen COVID-19 infections.”

“He’s become an icon and a friend to people who feel not only left out and dismissed by the scientific community but also ignored and shamed by their exhausted vaccinated friends, colleagues, and family with the dismissive attitude of, “Get vaccinated already, morons, and stop questioning any of this.” He’s created a comfortable home base for those who feel just as disenfranchised as he does, and there’s a reason they’re listening to him.”

Ah yes, Mark Steyn was claiming just last night that recent government data indicated that these “vaccines” had apparently increased “covid” infections. Presumably falsely…
Chris Chope’s awkward vaccine questions – and how the Health Secretary avoided them
By Sally Beck
“You would imagine that our Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, would be keen to pay victims in a timely fashion as many have had their lives and families destroyed – some will never work again – but the opposite is the case.
Sir Christopher met Javid on March 16 to plead for prompt and fair settlement. Javid wrote to him on March 30 failing again to make any commitment to the dead or injured. (Incidentally, MSM journalists are also struggling to get answers from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the Department for Work and Pensions, the NHS and the Department for Health and Social Care. It’s almost impossible to get a straight answer and you are likely to be passed from pillar to post. My last UKHSA inquiry elicited seven ‘out of office’ responses!)
Below is Javid’s letter of March 30 in full. Sir Christopher’s original points are in bold, followed by Javid’s response:

The World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Economic Forum (WEF) recently published a report that encourages the use of a global digital identity program for persons and objects.
The report centers on global trade but is the first step toward introducing global AI tracking. Under the guise of COVID, the two organizations claim that trade can be streamlined with their TradeTech technology.
Their recent report, “The Promise of TradeTech: Policy Approaches to Harness Trade Digitalization,” states their next goal:
“End-to-end trade digitalization requires a global approach to digital identities of natural and legal persons as well as of physical and digital objects sending or receiving electronic information to avoid creating digital identity silos.”
The only reason to trace persons as if they were objects is control. They first attempted to control the masses using the pretense of a pandemic to implement digital vaccine passports, but now they need stronger backing.
Schwab’s Great Reset infiltrated governments globally, and they are indeed making decisions to smolder the world economy — Bring Back Better.
Now that the global economy is on the decline, these organizations promise to improve the living standard with the caveat of accepting their version of Utopia and agreeing to be tracked as an object.

But will it work? I agree it is cause for concern. But when they brought in vaccine passports in Scotland no one bothered. No one actually checked them.
That’s the problem here. They can have all the plans they like but someone has to implement them.
But, when they brought in those passports, thousands of young people took the vaccines and the boosters just to go clubbing
and, as the University of Edinburgh advertised, to take part fully in student life. Their plans did therefore have consequences.
But did they? I’m sure some did. But the figures now emerging paint a less rosy picture for our overlords. We are seeing upwards of 20m refused in the UK. Many are in the younger age groups.
Remember we are in a culture war and the main ammunition is propaganda. Beliefs and things in your head.
My evidence is largely anecdotal so take it with a pinch of salt. Talking to young people going clubbing at that time they were adamant no one bothered their arse to check anything.
As for university administrators at Edinburgh, these are the people who want to remove statues of David Hume and Adam Smith from the city. How representative are they of anything?
And that was my understanding of what they were supposed to be – a stick to beat the unvaccinated with, to push them towards the jabbing centres and boost uptake of vaccination.
Then Omicron came along and the case for the vaxx passports and even the jabbing itself could no longer be sustained.
I still don’t see the need to link them to a medical treatment like a jab or anything else.
If they want control and want to do it through digital ID then why do they not just bring it in? So many people regard their smartphone as an extension of their body now that they are hardly likely to rise up in arms against it (more’s the pity!) and I know a good few people who would think it was a “brilliant idea” (sadly) – they think “phones should be for everything”.
I personally don’t see the need for the digital ID – but TPTB seem to see it as essential for their way forward.
They can have all the plans they like but someone has to implement them.
That’s a very good point.
I’m thinking of the reference in your earlier post to “top-down” planning. The most successful planning I’ve been involved with involved constant interaction between “top” and “down”, but those at the top tend to find that annoying.
Those entrusted with implementation see the flaws in the grand design; the practical difficulties. Because those at the top don’t want to know for the most part, those below often end up subverting or ignoring the things that just create new problems.
The more authoritarian the society, the harder it is to do this and the more the little problems at the implementation end become very big problems indeed.
Software development is a good example of this. Over the last 20 years it has moved away from a big picture, top down approach to an incremental bottom-up approach. This is almost universal in the software world because competition is often stiff and it moves fast. Bureaucratic approaches tend to fail.
Ideas, well publicized via tame media, have the appearance of solidity. Klaus Schwab’s latest book for example. But who reads it? Same for Gates. Talk is cheap. Only action matters.
They can do damage of course. But we will survive. All this globalist stuff will end up in the sake place as eugenics. Future generations will laugh at it.
I’m not sure. It’s possible that it is a naturally/organically evolving tendency towards increasing complexity; in this case the transformation of the human species from a sort of slime mould loosely organised across the surface of the earth to the far more three dimensional complexity of a global human entity, organised like a body, with a central nervous system, circulatory system, immune system, and various organs like the liver, thyroid etc, made up of large organisations each with their particular task/speciality, and eventually a reproductive system perhaps, capable of producing another such entity, and/or “wings” to fly away with, finally making use of all that space out there.
“Ideas, well publicized via tame media, have the appearance of solidity. Klaus Schwab’s latest book for example. But who reads it? Same for Gates. Talk is cheap. Only action matters.

Thanks for this Vaxtastic – gives me some hope, but how long will the ‘dark ages’ last before this finally fails (bearing in mind we are only 2 years in and it already feels like a decade)?
The EU Vaxx Pass is still up and running.
“The EU Digital COVID Certificate has two functions. It serves as a COVID-19 passport in Finland and can also be used when travelling. You can download it from My Kanta Pages.”
https://www.kanta.fi/en/covid-19-certificate
“Council of EU Approves Extension of EU Digital COVID Certificate Until Mid-2023”
“The EU Commission argued that it is not possible to cease using the certificate as a means of safe travel this summer.”

The UK government set up a voluntary ID scheme about seven years ago. Cost a fortune, lots of buy in from big corporate types and credit reference agencies.
It too was live, up and running. No one used it. No one trusted it. All gone now.
Best laid plans and all that…
Was it like the Blair governments scheme to computerise the NHS (sorry, “our NHS TM)?
It was some kind of verified digital ID scheme. Spent a fortune. A solution looking for a problem.
All driven by the civil service, who are fairly out of touch at the best of times.
Those skiving villains. I wonder if any normal people used it…
And we all KNOW a shed load of taxpayers money was poured down the drain on that one
The EU Vaxx Pass is being used for international travel, though. Everyone in the UK has ‘digital ID’ anyway, via your Passport number/info, National Insurance number, name & address, banking info, employment info, education info… I’d bet the UK Police and GCHQ are aware of 99.5% of the population – who they are, what they do, where they’ve been, etc.
Every time you use your bankcard your location/time/transaction has been recorded. Computers can automatically detect ‘aberrations’ from your usual daily routine and the authorities get alerted.
You are only as free as ‘they’ allow you to be.
Considering I rarely use my bank card in anything other than my local branch which is itself less than 500 yards from my home I doubt that GCHQ will get very excited when that happens
I presume a shed load of taxpayers money wasted of course
New social credit app to reward Italian citizens for ‘virtuous behavior’
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/new-social-credit-app-to-reward-italian-citizens-for-virtuous-behavior/
Citizens using the app will be rewarded for things such as recycling, using public transports, managing energy well, and not getting fined.
So-called “virtuous behaviors” will allow citizens to improve their score and win points that they will be able to “spend” on various awards such as discounts and free cultural activities.
Discussing the project at the March 29 conference, Bugani explained that the app was part of a wider effort by the city of Bologna to invest in digital innovation.
“What we call a new ‘water system’ for the city is being built,” he said.
“In the coming years many services will go digital in Italy; we have an ambitious project here is built on solid foundations.”
Some journalists, writers, and bloggers in Italy, France, and Germany have pointed out that the concept behind the app bears striking similarities with China’s social credit system. This, too, rewards citizens according to a system of points.
Such systems don’t reward the grovellers by giving them luxuries.They penalise normal people by depriving them of necessities
Eventually. But it starts with incentives. Download the app and get a free Netflix subscription.
And infantilise everybody. No self-respecting person could tolerate this outrageous arrogance on the part of officialdom, but self respect seems in dangerously short supply.
Once someone has decided that grovelling is the smart thing to do and that the defiant are fools, we’re in deep trouble. As indeed we are.
Exactly. “Virtue is it’s own reward” isn’t it?
Best line in life of Brian was f*cking do gooders.

Mea culpa!
It reminds me somewhat of the Lidl App which every time you pass through the checkout they ask if you have and cannot seem to understand why you wouldn’t want it or use it
Really people would do well to read Phillip Day on cancer.

As a rule of thumb, pharmaceutical companies are rather more interested in making profit than making people well…
And have you noticed the BBC news trumpeting the “new advances” in cancer treatment due to the sequencing of the human genome which will allow the delivery of personalised treatment.
All I can see is the potential for big pharma to make big profits. Kerching!
Odd how GcMAF never gets a mention in that regard.
Interesting story. According to Mark Steyn though (GB News last night, always a joy), there are now more “vaccinated” people dying than “unvaccinated” (he was referring to recent government statistics). I wonder if this information will find its way to the Brighton zealots any time soon…
I am hearing of the deaths of friends and colleagues in different parts of Australia at an astonishing rate over the past 12 months. They all had jobs which either required vaccination or made work very difficult without it.
An hour ago, I received another email, letting me know of the death of a wonderful man – in middle age: a good, intelligent, vital man.
Nobody talks about the cause. We used to. We’d hear of an unexpected death and people would ask why. There is a silence now. People avoid each others’ eyes and say nothing. Either we don’t want to know the truth, or we don’t want to hear the lies.
Well, I’m happy to ask: what did he die of? You seem to be suggesting that the deaths of your friends and colleagues are happening at an astonishing rate, and from the ‘Covid vaccines’. – just how many friends and colleagues do you have?
Last Monday I visited a couple (man & wife in their 60s) that I used to know when I lived in Helsinki – both ‘Covidians’. She works for the University and in ‘academic circles’ so I wasn’t surprised to see they had bought the ‘official line’ about ‘Covid’.
“Have you seen how many people are in hospital with Covid?” she asked me… “No,” says I, “it’s very unlikely I’d be allowed to wander round a hospital asking where all the Covid patients are and interview them.”
“Have you had Covid?”. I asked … “No”, she replied, “Thank Goodness!” How many times have I heard this reply….!
She also told me it was selfish of people to refuse the ‘Covid vaccines’, and that’s why it would never end, because of the ‘vaccine deniers’.
How lucky she has been, after 2 years, to have escaped this terrible disease – remember, the Kent variant was 70% more contagious than the original strain (Boris himself said so!)… and the Omicron variant is even more spreadable than the Kent variant… these people trust the ‘authorities’ so much, or, more likely, are frightened of questioning them in case they are given the push from their jobs, or have their work colleagues refer to them as ‘conspiracy nutters’.
Her son turned up just before I was leaving and he said that he believed Covid was about the control of people by the use of fear. His mother disagreed, but he said he was happy to hear from me that I was of the same opinion as he. After over 2 years I have seen no evidence of a ‘pandemic’, and I still hold the basic line that ‘Covid’ is a scam to control people (face masks, international borders closed = travel restrictions/loss of freedom), and for making money (private scammers offering PCR tests just being one example).
She clearly didn’t see Mark Steyn on GB News last night.
Of course it’s a scamdemic…
I remember about a year ago, in the thick of things, when it became clear the death rate was absurdly low. I said to people then it wasn’t a pandemic because too few people were dying, plus no one knew anyone affected.
Blank stares all round, like I’d said the moon was made of cheese.
Propaganda does work, doesn’t it? Goebbels’d be proud!
Well you know what they say about trusting types, Finnish or otherwise.
I say, isn’t that from the first ever LS btl post?!
Very sad.
I think I’ve mentioned before, it reminds me of Cowslip’s warren of shining wires in Watership Down, where every so often a rabbit got snared, but nobody was supposed to say anything as it was their price for an otherwise comfortable life.
“Either we don’t want to know the truth, or we don’t want to hear the lies.”
Agreed. I think it is both.
Predictably and depressingly. Will these people ever let it go?
Beijing Bidden wanting to leave people in a warzone if they’re “filthy unvaxxed” too. Villain.
A patient had a stick shoved up his or her nose 505 times, then died.
Probably of brain damage.
Any particular stick?
The amount of muck people are willing to put into their body these days…
Grauniad report listed ATL.
Heroes both of them, and Hartlepool council (who went after him) are an absolute disgrace. They really should bring back the monkey for mayor (or even council leader).
Just another example of the devastion caused by the evil ockdowns.
“District Judge Marie Mallon convicted him of all the offences following a two-day trial, saying it was a “preposterous submission” that people were protesting behind closed doors in a gym.
She said: “To whom were they protesting, how would they make their presence known?”
The judge noted that some gym-goers ran off and hid behind cars when a council official arrived.
Ellwood, whose address was given as that of his business, was fined £30,000 and ordered to pay £25,507 in costs as well as a £181 surcharge. He was given 12 months to pay.”
https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/20056135.eddy-ellwood-faces-56k-court-bill-opening-gym-lockdown/
And now we all know about the protest, and Eddy’s been on GB news. Like I say, heroes.
And I tell you what, if those Met police had told me there was a problem during those lockdown protest, I would’ve said I was staging a peaceful political protest!
Has he got £55,000 spare cash to pay the fine? It’s all so absurd and a waste of court time anyway – how many people in the gym got Covid and died or were in intensive care because of it? My guess is none.
This is simply a case of the authorities punishing people to ‘discourage the others from getting too cocky’.
But it does show the Police are keeping that information/those fines and gradually getting round to calling them in. I still haven’t seen any list of the snitches who reported their neighbours to the Police for ‘breaking lockdown rules’… I expect we’ll never see such a list now.
Woman in Spain has caught the Covids two times. It is to be excepted we are told.
Link in English
Link in Spanish.
She is a health worker thus has been vaxxed up to her eyeballs.
Apparently you can catch ‘Covid’ multiple times. No evidence, of course, but it makes for a good scare story. Keep the fear alive!
The evidence is we catch Colds multiple times. CoVid is a Cold.
“tested positive” – shows what a crock the tests are.
And BBC tries to keep the fear going by reporting today of someone who had a covid infection for over 500 days (small print said they were elderly and had co-morbid conditions but I am sure it will prompt a lot of people to go get their “spring booster jabs”)
We all go through life getting Colds and ‘flu. We know this is because of the rapid evolution of these viruses means we do not get sterilising immunity from earlier contacts with the viral predecessors.
This is known! Why it is being presented as some big discovery with CoV 2 tells us of the parlous state of those in the medical sector.
It is why vaccines for respiratory viruses do not work, because they cannot work.
Nurse person caught Omicron 12 days after booster. 14 days post-vax is a window of opportunity for viral infection because of the load on the immune system. Had she not been boosted, she probably would not have caught the infection.
Isn’t it funny how covid cases have dropped off now that tests are no longer free?
Perhaps if all the testing had stopped 12 months ago, we’d have no cases at all by now? I always said that the more you go out to look for something, the more you will be inclined to find it.
A work colleague was moaning about the cost of tests “how are people going to afford £10 for 5 tests?”. I said they should use my testing method, which is free. I ask myself “do I feel ill?”. If the answer is yes, then I treat myself/ go to bed/ stay at home/ whatever. If the answer is no, then I carry on. And most of the time the answer is going to be no, because I refuse to believe that I can have a terrible killer virus without personally having a single symptom!
She just gawped at me and didn’t know what to say. She’s a nice person in many ways, but she really has been propagandised to the nth degree.
There are better techniques
Did he wake up and smell the coffee?
“Anti-vaxx fever – a way of life” they never did emphasise to those queuing to be jabbed that it was in the experimental stages and that they were the lab rats, I think it could have made a difference. Kicking someone out of your pub because you won’t be a lab rat is not on.
The information was abundant about the nature of the concoctions and the length of time they spent testing. Most adults have at least a nominal understanding vaccines and drugs take considerable time to be approved, ten plus years. Pfizer even called it a biological agent.
What we witnessed was unthinking and perhaps anti-thought. That is worrying.
Yes it was to those who bothered to find out what they were taking and why, but obviously not to the millions who wanted to signal their virtue
My immediate experience is of seeing people harmed because they trusted their “medical centre” and the medical profession in general.
They did zero research of their own – why would they when the BBC keeps them safe – and trotted down to their GP surgery every time the nice nurse phoned them to tell them they could get their latest booster.
