You certainly disappointed those of us who thought you had some brains and some common sense, Liddle.
Turned out, when the test came, you were just as much of a mug as any of those you’d been mocking for years.
“he now thinks”
Seriously, Liddle, you muppet, what have we learned about the costs versus the benefits of lockdowns since, that wasn’t perfectly foreseeable in March 2020?
Times muppets.
I’m a bit surprised he didn’t come round sooner (or that the Times have allowed him to write this). Still, better late than never.
Now we just need the Times muppets to let Oliver Wright write a piece about big pharma corruption in relation to the “vaccines”…
Blooming muppets!!!
Too little, too late.
Aren’t they all? Still, any port in a storm.
Not familiar with Rod Liddle’s background, I looked for him on Wikipedia. Not the most reliable source, I know, but if half the stuff there is real then Liddle is not someone I’d credit with brains.
He was always a very mixed bag, but he stood up to the pc consensus on a few key issues, which is unusual enough in a mainstream media figure to forgive quite a lot.
Supporting the lockdown was pretty much unforgivable, though.
Writes for the (UK) Spectator, takes the mick out of Labour for being totally out of touch with the working class (in Middlesbrough at least), winds up the woke mob something awful (hence perhaps his Wikipedia piece).
For me, his finest moment was when he went round Middlesbrough town centre with a loud speaker shouting “vote Labour for more immigration and to stay in the European Union” (something I suspect that party didn’t shout about in Middlesbrough).
He is now a member of the Social Democratic party.
You certainly disappointed those of us who thought you had some brains and some common sense, Liddle.
Doesn’t score very highly on the empathy stakes, either.
Did it ever occur to him that for many the lockdowns were immensely destructive? That they cost lives and businesses? That they caused great distress and misery?
If it didn’t, he is utterly self-obsessed and incurious. If it did, and he just didn’t care because he was having such a good time, well – there are words for such people.
I seem to remember he lived in a rural area where he could go for walks in the country every day. Now if he’d spent his lockdown among people from his working class roots in Middlesbrough…
To be fair, there must be many millions of people with their brains scrambled and suffering psychological damage because of this shambles, but for me, I tend to blame the elite in politics and big pharma responsible for this shambles more than the little man who reacted predictably to the unscrupulous fear propaganda.
There can be no benefits to locking down for something that does not even exist. I cant believe so many of the so called resistance are still swallowing whole the bullshit about a novel virus, en masse.
Yes we know all about the unvalidated PCR tests which cannot diagnose a disease and we know the tests can be positive for just about anything that is swabbed, the transparently fraudulent system to determine what counts as a convid death, the whistleblowers confirming that all manner of routine deaths are being recorded as covid deaths, the lies and terrorism about a virus with a mortality rate of 3.4percent which was confirmed as total nonsense at the start, the blatantly fraudulent propaganda showing people in China collapsing in the street from convid, the absolutely ridiculous impositions we have had to endure which ONLY cause harm – masks, tests, jabs and lockdowns are weapons of war – not solutions to any health issue (covid is war), the assassinations of African heads of state who did not comply, the fact that when challenged to produce evidence of a novel virus they produce nothing at all in courts of law, the relabelling of existing illness as convid, the disappearance of flu, the changes to death certificate registration to literally facilitate death certificate forgery, all the shenanigans in the recent revelations about adverse event victms in the trials suffering very serious injuries being written down as convid in their trial file, the fact that the government has been caught red handed murdering people in the nursing homes and ejecting sick hospitalised elderly people from the hospitals en masse (you didnt get to stay in hospital without actually being ill pre scamdemic) only to then label these deaths covid deaths…..the list of provably criminal behaviour and fraud and lies form these scumbags is off the charts – yet despite all this and more, a large majority of the so called resistance cant bring itself to the reality that there IS NO COVID – its literally a made-up, fictional illness. Its no wonder were so screwed. 911 was the same, just blank believer minds giving the criminals all the slack they need to be able to continue with these terrorist crisis agendas they keep hatching to keep everyone under control.
This is war. There are some brilliant insights into what I mean by that in this book which is worth reading. The concepts and mindset are the takeaway
report from iron mountain
https://www.pdfdrive.com/report-from-iron-mountain-e57187892.html
As we watch the US Democrat regime (run by whoever handles the business while Biden has his nappies changed) push the Ukrainian state to sacrifice itself on the blood altar of Russian regime change, while simultaneously provoking China over Taiwan, and committing acts of piracy and oil theft against Iranian ships, seemingly in the hope of achieving the geostrategic triple of major wars in Europe, Asia and the ME at once, it’s a little strange to think that for many the Republicans are still what they think of as the war party.
Yet another case where the received opinion is the opposite of the truth, though the neocon dominance pre-Trump did mean that the Republicans under Bush II in particular came to resemble the warmongering Democrats from whence the neocons had slithered.
Hopefully, though, normal service is being resumed.
Republicans return to their roots as the antiwar party
“Conservatives instinctively oppose social programs aimed at reshaping America. If they are consistent — as lamentably few are — they should also oppose projects aimed at reshaping other countries. It is liberal utopianism that tells Americans we can and should transform the world, react forcefully whenever crimes against humanity are committed, and fight to resist the emergence of autocratic governments anywhere.”
(It should not need saying here that those noble-sounding goals of liberal utopianism are invariably mere pretexts and propaganda hooks for the liberal interventionist power elites, who actually decide where to wage their crusades based on their personal and factional goals. And, in fairness, many on the left oppose these wars in theory and when in out of office – but still end up coming back to vote the warmongers back into office, time after time, like the Labour voters who put Blair back into Downing St even after it was clear beyond question that he had lied us into a disastrous, illegal war that had caused, one way or the other, the deaths of literally millions)
That’s a good piece on the Republicans imo, but it leaves out (Wilson aside) the warmongering nature of Democrat regimes through US history. This piece from 2014 fills in some of the gaps:
Democrats Are the Real Party of War
“Indeed, all of the major U.S. wars in the 20th century—World War I, II, Korea and Vietnam—were entered by Democratic administrations. Harry Truman, a Democrat, is still the only world leader to use a nuclear bomb on a population. And with the exception of World War II, where almost all anti-war sentiment collapsed after Pearl Harbor, these wars were entered over the objections of the left wing of the Democratic Party. But while the presence of that left wing has guaranteed that anti-war liberals rally to the Democratic side, it not yet stopped a Democratic administration from going to war.”
As for Britain, bear in mind that we are politically closest to a NE US democrat fiefdom state, where power is contested between Democrats of various shades. There is no genuine political representation of conservatives here, and hasn’t been for decades. Our “Conservatives” are basically US Democrats, but with the war-loving neocons never having left. So it’s small wonder that, in recent years at least, there’s been little to choose on the warmongering front between the Labour and “Conservative” Parties here.
Beijing Bidden a bedwetter then?
Can there ever be an end to the military industrial complex war mongering (or at least its influence on practical politics)?
That’s on a good night….
And how bad is “American” interference in the social policies of African countries?
I seem to remember a story about Frank Baum (who wrote the Wizard of Oz stories) who was said to be a textbook liberal apart from his policy of genocide against the native Americans. Scratch a liberal, find a fascist…
I find it astonishing that anyone who has studied the history of the United States could possibly believe that the Democrats support anything approaching crusades for the betterment of humanity.
Their interventionism is entirely in the interests of US power elites, dressed in fine words about democracy and freedom.
There are regional variations. In Australia, the Labor Party was opposed to Australian involvement in Iraq (and in Vietnam) in a real practical sense, as well as theoretically; but I have no confidence that that is any sort of predictor of their likely future behaviour.
I seem to remember a fellow dubbed “Howard”…
Howard led the Liberal Party – the equivalent of the Conservative Party (though by no means an exact one).
The Republican Party of the “USA” were supposed to be an equivalent of the Conservative Party (or the “Not The Conservative Party” as some of us have called them), despite the Conservative party being staunch monarchists. I wonder if there are any monarchists left in the “USA”…
Well, the woke ones seem to like Ginge and Whinge…
Maybe I’m misremembering, Alt, but I seem to recall that when Bush I started talking about Operation Desert Storm our Labor PM Bob Hawke rang to offer our troops. Caught Bush off guard with his enthusiasm.
I should have been more precise, G6! Hawke was certainly supportive of the Gulf War. I was thinking of the Iraq War which began in 2003.
Of course, Labor was out of power then. I wonder what would have happened if they had not been? I suspect that their attitude might have been quite different.
When I pointed out that Trump was much less dangerous and less likely to start wars than Clinton and Biden, my metropolitan liberal friends, acquaintances and colleagues spluttered and laughed nervously, as if brusqueness of manner was a better indicator of being a warmonger than actually having supported lots of wars.
If you made that observation a while back, it’s looking better and better as time goes on.
“as if brusqueness of manner was a better indicator of being a warmonger than actually having supported lots of wars.”
I get the impression our society is more and more made up of infantile chronological adults, who think that you can judge people by.how well they seem to conform to our own standards of political correctness
Laughing nervously is what they do while looking around to see how their ‘friends’ are likely to react, so they can fit in and be non-micro-aggressive.
I encountered precisely the same response. Trump was too vulgar for them. He didn’t look and act fashionably.
Style is everything; substance is irrelevant or can be assumed entirely from those elements of style one bothers to notice.
We are being trained to judge everything by appearances in a world where appearance is stage-managed by teams of stylists.
My understanding of the 2014 regime change in Ukraine is that it was the USA and the EU that engineered and funded the over-throw of a legally-elected mildly pro-Russia government.
I agree. pretty much, though as always the world is more complicated than such brief summaries can entirely accurately convey, which leaves room for the apologists for US interference to argue the point.
As is usually the case, imo, the US and its satellites did not manufacture a situation out of thin air, rather they exploited and inflamed an already existent dispute, turning it into an uncontrollable conflict and crisis, which they turned to their own purposes.
Alan Jones gives our new Labor government a serve:

And – a new face to me – Joel Jammal outlines the positive aspects of the result. There are a few, after all.

All to play for perhaps in Aus at the next election, if the Liberals can change position to reclaim the freedom vote, and Labour end up lame duck because of the troubles to come?
(Granted, I have no idea if that sounds as ridiculous in Australia as the idea of our “Conservative” Party changing enough to actually represent conservatives would here.)
Even with Peter Dutton as leader, and with the usual coalition with the National Party, I don’t foresee the Liberals taking the next election. They need to do some serious rebuilding, both of their platform and winning back the trust of the voters.
Robert Menzies, the party’s founder, talked about a ‘broad church’ but even he drew the line at commies. Today’s commies, ie the greenies, need to go. There are already political parties espousing their ideas. The Liberals should be an alternative, not a limp imitation.
Are they classical liberals or the more dubious modern sort?
When Menzies founded the party in 1945 it had a strong conservative leaning. The more dubious modern sort have been running the show for about ten years, but the party was drifting leftward before that.
Hmm. I suppose there are still some parties that haven’t drifted leftwards? In the UK, UKIP were able to influence things (despite the best efforts of the usual suspects to stop them). Is it possible for outsiders like that to influence things in Australia?
The freedom friendly minor parties, collectively, are our best chance right now. They are not identical beneath the marketing, and egos are a problem there as they are in the major parties. But as the videos I linked above point out, they took a huge piece of the electorate away from Labor and Liberal. Both parties, at state and federal level, have been engaged in the covid restrictions. A lot of people – not quite enough – have had their fill of the traditional politics.
Oh, they have some complicated voting system in Australia don’t they (and in the ROI). We like it simple here in the UK I’m afraid, hence the Lib-Dem idea of “alternative voting” getting trounced in a referendum.
We use the preferential voting system – explained here with marbles.
The quicker way of describing it is that you number the boxes for each candidate from 1 to whatever, according to the degree of hatred you feel for them (with 1 going to the least despicable).
Perfect summary.
So much of the focus is on who gets your first preference. For me, the real competition is at the other end of the ladder. So many more worthy contenders for last place.
Yes. Sounds a bit like AV. Except we don’t have votes for the upper house (where we actually have bishops sitting, believe it or not).
32% for Labor in the primary vote though? We thought we had it bad with Labour getting a comfortable majority on 35% of the vote (and less votes than the Conservative Party in England)! Still, I suppose the Australian system at least means that people can vote for what they believe in rather than just voting tactically. Have the “FLMPs” had any say in this election then?
The figures at the moment are (in terms of first preferences): 32.78% to Labor (a fall of 0.56% from the 2019 election); 24.13% to the Liberals (a fall of 4.04%); 11.74% to the Greens (an increase of 1.34%).
The Liberal National Party of Queensland got 8.01% (a fall of 0.66%), entirely in one state; the Nationals dropped 0.5% to 3.82% (but of course, that’s hugely concentrated in rural electorates).
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, which opposed the “vaccine” mandates, got 4.85% (an increase of 1.77%, largely due to standing in more electorates); the United Australia Party (also opposed) got 4.07% (an increase of 0.64%).
The Liberal Democrats came out of almost nowhere to get 1.68% (an increase of 1.44%), and was handicapped by having no national figure as well known as Pauline Hanson or the UAP’s Clive Palmer. All other parties received less than 1% of the national vote.
Independents (heavily focussed in cleverly chosen electorates) got 5.41% of the vote.
handicapped by having no national figure as well known as Pauline Hanson or the UAP’s Clive Palmer
Well known certainly, but both are a liability at times. One of the attractions of the LDs for me was that they’re not Insert Name Here‘s party. Pauline, in the past, generated drama just to remind folks that it was her party. Clive wants to be the biggest and the best at everything. He’s certainly the biggest…
They certainly are liabilities for sections of the electorate, but name recognition has an effect.
I thought the LD position was more reasonable and reliable, but I could see that only the politically interested knew about them.
Then there are those who think that the Libs are just drifting!
I don’t think that’s a permanent state, but Morrison didn’t help matters.
What happened to the Australia party that an ex-soldier was running, and appeared in a few YouTube slots?
You’d be referring to Riccardo Bosi and AustraliaOne. He ran as an independent, collected a few thousand votes.
https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/HouseDivisionPage-27966-122.htm
The Liberals under Menzies and even much later, contained both conservatives and classical liberals – on all sorts of issues.
Alan Jones might like to have considered that the Liberal Party, at the Federal level, cannot govern without the support of the National Party – which cannot always be relied upon on every issue (at least behind closed doors!).
It is true, nevertheless, that the ALP’s primary vote is very low by historical standards; and that if they don’t do something to address that, they might not last very long in government.
“Today’s commies, ie the greenies, need to go. There are already political parties espousing their ideas. The Liberals should be an alternative, not a limp imitation.”
Sound familiar. We have the same problem with our “Conservatives” here.
Seems to be a mix of true believers – ie dupes who have fallen for the climate alarmist panic, and opportunists who see climate alarmism either as the current fashionable cause to rope in voters, or as a hugely useful lever for exploiting “emergency” power.
There’s another category you might call the ego feeders. They push their leftist ideas in rightist parties because there, they are the squeaky wheel. The square peg in the round hole. They get attention because they stand out.
If they followed their beliefs to the Greens or Labor party nobody would give a flying one about them. They’d be just another voice in the choir.
The crimes against humanity just keep on coming…
Law-Abiding West Virginian Woman With Concealed Firearm Stops A Mass Shooting
“The incident occurred Wednesday when Dennis Butler,37, was angered by a group of people hosting a graduation party who told him to slow down through an apartment complex in Charleston. He returned 30 minutes later, parked his vehicle, jumped in the backseat, and discharged his weapon toward the group of 30-40 people.
Unbeknownst to the shooter, a law-abiding citizen with a CCW was within the group and quickly drew her weapon and engaged Bulter with direct fire, fatally wounding him.
There were no injuries reported besides the gunman. Police have yet to release the woman’s name, though they said she’s not part of law enforcement and is just an average law-abiding citizen. “
The man who faced instant karma was Dennis Butler, described as having an “extensive criminal history”.
All round, hard to see any downsides here. It’s even got a woman shooting a man, for the feminists who usually knee jerk for the gun-grabbers (in this country, maybe not so much in the US).
Maybe a silly question, but would the Uvalde shooting have happened if there had been a security guard and a few teachers armed with guns?
I think I’ve mentioned before the case of an “American” city where, instead of a bloodbath after gun restrictions were relaxed, there was a reduction in some crimes, including rape. Now I wonder which UK newspaper will carry such a story…
Incidentally, did the new restrictions on gun ownership after Dunblane actually achieve anything (going on hard facts)?
“would the Uvalde shooting have happened if there had been a security guard and a few teachers armed with guns?“
Correct of course, but that is only half of the equation. The culture that produces people who would want to shoot children (and I think of the spate of shootings that happened at Chinese nurseries some time back) needs to be addressed too.
Definitely.
I said shootings but it was probably knifings as of course it is quite hard to get hold of guns in freedom loving China.
In this case it seems to be the culture of Satanism – a religion recognised in the armed forces now, I believe.
Gordon Brown rendered the police report on the Dunblane Massacre secret for one hundred years. The gunman, named Hamilton, was a known paedophile, whose multiple firearm licence applications had been signed and recommended by a Labour peer, Lord Robertson. The police were due to interview some of the murdered children as part of an enquiry into sexual child abuse. It all suggests that politicians were involved. Brown, unmarried up to then, hurriedly married one of the women usually found hanging around the Palace of Westminster.
Mark Steyn has been covering this on GB News recently. Apparently, none of the “vaccine” victims have received compensation yet, which for me is a disgrace. When people took these gene therapy drugs, were they told that it would take them years to get compensation (if indeed they do at all) or that they would have to suffer “60%” injuries to be eligible for compensation? How many in fact were even told that there was a significant risk of serious injury or death (instead of the Devi “100% safe” Sridhar lies)? I wonder…
Sadly many people think these ‘side-effects’ including death only happens to other people
They weren’t. Most were told they’d only suffer slight pain at the site of injection, or a headache, for a day or two after “and the the nurse was so lovely and encouraging ” is also all I keep hearing!
I’ve asked a lot of people if they received Yellow Card Reporting Scheme instructions to report severe reactions, as many are suffering with “unexplained” new problems now. They didn’t. Did they recieve a PIL before their injection so they could give their “INFORMED consent” ? They didnt. Most went in blindly without a second thought, fully trusting the government and the media and even their own GPs, who pushed them to get vaxxed WITHOUT any consultation about their current health condition and consideration to any other drugs they might be taking, as in the case with me! Barely any of them gave it a second thought and many are now suffering the consequences.

US Seizes Tanker Full of Iranian Oil Near Greece
Reaction:
Iran Seizes Two Greek Tankers in Retaliatory Move
Who could have predicted that, eh?
So we have three options:
The US Biden regime are stupid (they didn’t foresee the obvious response).
The US Biden regime are evil (they are intentionally pushing towards confrontation and war in yet another area)
The US Biden regime are stupid and evil, and are just flailing around destructively.
War with Iran is the one which was going to be far worse than war with Iran (and something that was supposed to be the preserve of neo-cons) wasn’t it? As if there weren’t enough problems. Controlled demolition of the economy?
Theyre all in bed together. Iran is not the enemy of the west, its a tool of the west.

“The Greek-flagged Delta Poseidon”.
Ah, a Poseidon adventure!
You know, I sometimes wonder if the rest of the world will tire of the “USA” sponging off them eventually.
I know this is a radical concept, but I would like to see national governments operating in the interests of their nations.
That’s actually quite a difficult thing to do – and it should absorb their full attention.
When they decide that the national interest consists solely of deciding to suck up to the biggest bully (sorry, ally) they can find, they lose me.
Hear, hear!
But presumably not reported by the Times muppets as they are supporters of the “vaccine” conspiracy theory that these gene therapy drugs are safe and effective.
Sounds like Australia’s chief medical officer is some sort of Tsar (of the sort that provoked the 1917 Russian revolution).
Seriously, I’ve been wondering if what we have been seeing is some sort of resurgence of the screwing over of the working classes, which temporarily abated after the world wars, in which they were seen as heroes.
I feel so angry sometimes about this modern day imposition of totalitarianism on Western democracies.
Such a lovely woman, and these villains are seriously talking about sending her to prison? Absolutely nuts. Words fail me. Pray for her, and all those campaigning against these human rights abuses!
She was treated different to BLM protesters. Some protesters are more equal than others…
Actually, it’s not “Australia’s Chief Medical Officer”; it’s Victoria’s Chief Health Officer.
Health (and therefore the lockdowns) are a state responsibility, not the responsibility of the Australian government. Monica Smit came up against the most savage health policies in the nation: in the state of Victoria under Premier Dan Andrews.
Ah yes, Kim Jong Dan, poster boy for totalitarianism in democratic countries. I hope things are improving by now? (They could hardly be worse than the violent assaults by police on peaceful protesters – that was Victoria wasn’t it?).
Indeed it was.
Hard to find those scenes (except in Battleground Melbourne), because the msm effectively scrubbed most of the images of police attacking protestors; and show only those who finally, and in desperation, fought back.
There is some interesting news about Dictator Dan. It’s been reported that he has been questioned in secret by Victoria’s Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission.
Apparently he’s facing reports of a “rotten culture” and “a serious problem with the misuse of public resources”.
Perhaps there’s hope yet.
Rebel Vic Labor MP Adem Somyurek posted a series of tweets that indicated a very strong swing against Labor within Dan’s state seat.
At some point, the tide will change no doubt but for now people like the incredibly brave Monica Smit will have to suffer the extreme abuses of a state that has seemingly gone out of control. It beggars belief that so many Aussies, from the ‘lucky country’, were duped into giving away their freedoms, just like every so called ‘liberal democracy’ in the so called ‘West’. I think we all have to step up our game in this, get organised and resist. They can’t lock us all up!
Careful, Alter Ego will need to clip your wings there. You cannot blame “Aussies”. That’s sancrosanct. Breaks the golden rule, you must never criticise Australian people as a whole, because of the wattle. or Midnight Oil. Or the Dog on the Tuckerbox. Or something. You can slam subdivisions of the population, like anyone who votes different to you, but don’t go dissing Aussies as a whole, mate. Or we’ll have to send the Crocodile Hunter onto you. And crikey, you wouldn’t want that.
I posted my response to AethlredTheReadier’s entirely reasonable comment before reading yours.
Personally, I don’t slam anyone who votes differently, however they vote. One can disagree without “slamming”.
I do not agree with applying a blanket criticism to people of any nation, as a whole: as if they were all the same, because of their nationality. It is simply absurd.
The horrible thing is that, in all sorts of countries with different political histories, governments just took those freedoms – without even a show of force.
And the overwhelming majority either did nothing by way of protest, or expressed their agreement and support.
However we emerge from this, we are going to have to reconstitute what is meant by the freedom of the individual and the whole conception of citizenship.
Those of us who tried to behave as responsible citizens in a democracy found ourselves marginalised, insulted and silenced. Some were deprived of their livelihoods; others arrested.
So Von Der Lyin’ wants to usher in a new European tyranny, and reward the “vaccinated” and discriminate against the “unvaccinated”. Apparently they wants people to take this stuff every three months too. Looks like this shambles won’t be over in some countries any time soon.
As someone who lives in the EU my heart sinks at reading this article – not that it surprises me. I immediately think of all the reasons for which this makes no sense – I’ve just had ‘covid’ so natural immunity so why on earth would I take a ‘vaccine’ now after all this time; why sign-up for endless boosters which wane after a matter of weeks and don’t even protect against infection (I caught ‘covid’ from a vaccinated person); the fact that infection rates are rising in the most vaccinated and booster countries; the thought that repeated doses will probably ruin my immune system; the thought that should they make a small/monkey pox vaccine mandatory (easier than the covid ones because the pox vaccines are authorised) that it will probably kill anyone whose had several covid ‘vaccines’. The list against taking any of these, still experimental, shots goes on and on. I think to myself, ‘surely they know that this makes no sense’? But then I realise that of course this isn’t supposed to make sense and it isn’t to protect us – it’s to reduce our numbers are quickly as possible.
Well, that – and the brown envelopes courtesy of Big Pharma!
Though those countries will probably be over and finished with soon.
Who will bury all the stiffs if WHO gets its way?
Think I heard that she has massive shares in these vaccines??
An image of Daleks come to mind and is not so very far from what those oddly triangular bobbled metal psychopaths actually intended…”vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate”…”exterminate, exterminate, exterminate”…
That’s where neo-malthusianism and Darwinist elitism gets you. So call me a nutter…
I agree with Tiny Tim!
I tell you, we’re seeing a new screwing over of the working class.
Plus ca change…
Manchester politicians who were pushing a congestion charge a few years back all drove to an event to discuss it that was held a few hundred yards from a tram stop. One of the major supporters of this nonsense (representing Irlam) was unceremoniously voted out. No doubt they’ll still have another go though.
Indeed many of these treasures would no longer be with us if they had not been rescued by British explorers and the like. Can’t Greece just commission a replica for their museum?
Is there no end to the madness? What next? Will lecturers in music be banned from teaching Beethoven? (Actually I understand they are already supposed to teach Mozart’s sister alongside him…).
Ah, the fantasy continues. The truth being that since the Renaissance, the overwhelming majority of positive developments in art, literature, philosophy, music, innovation, transport, engineering, medicine, the sciences, manufacturing, even fashion, and pretty much anything else you can name, have come and continue to come from white European men (WEM, and the decedent’s of…). To deny it is to deny the modern world.
Now, that doesn’t mean that innovation and development has to be a white male preserve. The opportunity is there today for any more diverse people to join that and to make their own contributions to the development of humankind. However, that it is even possible, is a gift given by those WEM and the immense sacrifice from our societies to provide the affluence in which innovation could flourish.
For every wigged gentleman discovering a new element, were thousands of people living short and miserable lives, and I’m not talking about slaves, but our own populations. Worth mentioning that the Slavery Act was passed in 1833, but it wasn’t until 1933 that we had legislation to stop children under 14 in mines and mills. Slavery is a part of our history, not our history. White supremacy is evident only in so much as WEM is the group that has advanced the world and the human race furthest. Perhaps we should be helping our brothers of other nations and races to attain the same, the classic ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’, rather than trying to reduce us to the lowest common denominator.
There was nothing to stop the Bantu inventing the wheel, steam engine, telephone, electric guitar, etc, while they were being developed by white European men, but it is much easier to blame white superiority than explain why they didn’t.
So no smiles. No wolf whistles. And what was that film where someone got sacked for giving his colleague some flowers to cheer her up? Sad times. Sad, intolerant times…
Rather like Don Hertzfeldt’s classic cartoon Ah, L’Amour!
I reckon these nuts have always wanted to ban the likes of the late, great Christopher Booker. If people don’t stand up to them, they might just get their way.
To “curry” favour? Isn’t that a hate crime (or at least a non-crime hate incident)?
Not a single down-tick yet this morning, despite my best efforts. What is the world coming to? Are they having a Sunday lie in…
Perhaps if I say good morning one and all, and your very good health this fine morning, especially our antipodean friends who have suffered so much from the horrors of Kim Jong Dan (among others)?
Well, it’s good night from me, and good night from him!
Good night, Hugh!
Haha you tempted fate there! Everybody knows that on this site merely bidding a “Good morning” is considered hate speech. Maybe your first post of the day should be expletive-laden, just as an experiment to see if you can get more ‘dislikes’? May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
Don’t you have any more newspaper articles you can link to before you go to bed?
I’ll put you down as an ‘attention seeking nutter’ if that will cheer you up?
“Not a single down-tick yet this morning, despite my best efforts. “
That seemed to do the job, Hugh…
Cambridge don claims woke critics have labelled him a ‘white supremacist’ for teaching classics – as he warns of ‘threats’ to his academic discipline
Silly chap needs to focus on teaching about some black philosophers like Snoop Dog, Diane Abbot and Chris Eubank.
Rod Liddle…. Another one of those scumbag journalist who was paid to stay at home and paid well, now backtracking. Well Rod, the shit we are experiencing now is all down to people like you!
The World Health Organisation has lost all credibility
Whenever I read the above title I can’t help thinking the exact opposite, much like I do when I hear the words, democratic, free national health service, conservative party, opposition party, green energy, greater good, vaccine, covid back log, staying safe, saving lives etc, etc
“After Summer, Europe to Target the Unvaccinated” – Robert Kogon at Brownstone writes that the European Commission’s April 27th documents invoke a new rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the autumn, specifically targeting the hitherto unvaccinated and also children, accompanied by the extension of the EU Digital Covid Certificate.[/quote]
despite the evidence and science, the tyrants will persist in their death grip jab project.
That can’t be true because Reiner Fuellmich and his merry band of lawyers are taking all of the baddies to the Nuremberg 2 trials….
Anyway, ‘Robert Kogon’ is a made-up name by the author. How much more has he made up?
Seems to me journalists such as Liddle are sensing a change in the air and so changing their stances accordingly. Trouble is people such as Liddle have a duty to report/comment honesty on all matters and when it matters, defend us from tyranny. When the time came they all failed dismally. That is why I do not buy newspapers anymore. What is the point when for the last few years they have just copied and pasted whatever the government has told them.
Good News on the WHO treaty.
In a rare show of African power and solidarity, several African member states objected to proposed International Health Regulations amendments, discussed at the World Health Assembly 75 this week – a move many believe might shake up the World Health Organization’s dominance.
According to Reuters, “if Africa continues to withhold support, it could block one of the only concrete reforms expected from the meeting, fraying hopes that members will unite on reforms to strengthen the U.N. health agency’s rules as it seeks a central role for itself in global health policy.”
The IHR seeks to define and detail WHO members’ obligations around public health emergencies and other health matters.
The United States government proposed 13 controversial IHR amendments, which give the WHO DG Tedros unilateral power to declare actual or potential health emergencies and expect a response in 48 hours.
The draft proposal yet to be formally decided also aims to change article 59 of the IHR, and would accelerate the implementation of future amendments.

Monkeypox either due to reduced immunity from the vax, or a deliberate release.
(We know from the monkeypox simulation that the outbreak of monkeypox was simulated to have been genetically modified and released by a terrorist.)

Dr Christian Peronne – the monkeypox outbreak is not natural – no outbreaks in the african countries where monkeypox normally occurs, outbreaks isolated to rich western countries.
“It’s impossible that there’s an occurrence of such isolated (Monkeypox) cases in 10 different countries on different continents. It’s impossible naturally.”
Monkeypox was first identified in 1958, but there’s never been a global Monkeypox outbreak outside of Africa until now—in the exact week of the exact month predicted by the biosecurity folks in their pandemic simulation.

Josef Thoma MD/PhD, general practitioner from Berlin, lucidly explains the findings of vaccine-induced vasculitis and thrombosis made by pathologists Burkhardt and Lange. He discusses the clinical consequences and does not shy away from addressing the political context and historical parallels.

https://doctors4covidethics.org/on-the-use-of-the-pfizer-and-the-moderna-covid-19-mrna-vaccines-in-children-and-adolescents/
This up-to-date document provides a comprehensive risk-benefit analysis of the use of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in children and adolescents. It argues that the vaccines
– are not necessary, because the risk of severe disease or death due to COVID in children and adolescents is very low;
– have not been proven efficacious in clinical trials, and neither in recently published studies on the now predominant Omicron variant;
– have not been proven safe; to the contrary, there is ample evidence of grave harm due to vaccination.
The document also addresses the risk of genotoxicity of the mRNA vaccines, which according to recent experimental evidence of their integration into host cell genomes must be considered urgent.
Recent interview with Bhakdi.
Pfizer and Moderna know that the damage to the small vessels can’t easily be detected and think that they can get away with it. However, pathologists can detect the damage post mortem. German pathologists have found the spike protein in all organs, heart, brain, spleen, liver, lungs, and reproductive organs. Their pathological work has shown that 90% of people who died after vaccination had signs of autoimmune attack, with the heart as the major target.

At WEF, Pfizer CEO admits to PLAN / INTENT to reduce world pop. by 2023 by 15 or 50%
Hard to hear. Really sounds like 50% which is a little ambitious, surely?
