https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/monkeypox-upgraded-severity-level-leprosy-malaria/

Do you remember at the inception of the fear mongering scamdemic in 2020 when the Prime Minister and his political and medical cronies were smitten with ‘the virus’ and hospitalised in intensive care facilities? Similar incidents were reported in other governments worldwide. Attention seeking celebrities then climbed the bandwagon. The aim obviously to instil fear in the hearts and minds of the commoners and plebs that if such illustrious people could be suddenly struck down with ‘the virus’, then there was little hope to escape the hyped-up lurgy and all were doomed…

I’m waiting with bated breath – not – to see who on the public stage in various continents has pulled the short straws in this latest blockbuster movie. Who will be the first to announce they are stricken with the pox and in dire need of lifesaving treatment?

Tick tock. Tick tock. The pendulum swings.

The article on heat pumps includes the quote;
”The Netherlands is banning natural gas central heating from 2026 and bringing in the mandatory use of heat pumps or connected heat networks.”
That statement does not quite state the entire position, the Netherland is requiring all new systems to be at least hybrid, heat pumps or network heating. A hybrid system would seem to be a combination of a heat pump with another heating source to boost the heat output. This is quite different to the heat pump only approach talked about in the UK. I doubt that a hybrid system would satisfy the zealous approach of Sir John Armitt but it does seem to have the benefit of pragmatism when faced with the task of heating the UKs varied housing stock

Most installed heat pumps have an auxiliary heating element, essentially the equivalent of an immersion heater. Invariably it’s used to heat water for baths showers etc, one of the reasons heat pumps are so expensive to run.

Was going to say morning all…but it’s more like morning few!!!
Anyhow a good morning….

Ivor Cummings..the Fat Emperor, has been sharing the numbers that actually died from Covid, and nothing else, in Ireland..and it’s tiny…
This Jessica Rose article shows how the ‘counting’ of Covid has been (as I think most of us here knew)..a total farce. This of course should be headline news!

Will FDA Allow Pfizer, Moderna to Skip Clinical Trials for Future COVID Vaccines?The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory committee will vote June 28 on something called the “Future Framework,” a scheme that would allow Pfizer and Moderna to “reformulate” COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in perpetuity, without conducting clinical trials on the new vaccines.

Does anyone doubt it will be passed?

Morning all. Is this becoming the new daily general forum?

There was so much that was valuable on the old general forum – cutting-edge news that wasn’t yet ready for ATL (let alone MSM), but was vital to stay ahead of the game, as it were.

I’m the 8203rd signature 🙂 . Regard this as a way to send a piece of information to the government it can’t ignore completely.

Eg, recently, a friend of mine posted that “I’ve just had the first leftist … ehh … tick of the year”. The German word for tick – Zecke – is commonly used as derogatory term to refer to formerly alternative left-wingers of all kinds. To this, I replied with “Well, it’s good that it’s at least still legal to kill them”. This promptly brought a FB punishment down onto me for “Serious incitement to criminal violence”. I filed this with their so-called oversight board despite full well knowning that they were (again) going to ignore that. But in some situations, the best one can do as lone individual is to try to throw a spanner in the works as hard as possible (this works better with the German idiom for that, a translation of which would be “Throw as much sand into the gearbox as you can”).

I watched Neil and Bret’s discussion.
The final comments made by Neil Oliver really made me think.
He really wished the last two years hadn’t happened, but finds himself a better man having lived through it.
I thought this was a really interesting perspective. I personally am still in the ‘angry’ phase, but maybe the forced introspection and changing worldview can be seen as a personal good outcome.
Having said that I don’t need another episode of lockdowns to become an ever better person….

I’m also in the angry phase, angry but ready to stand by what I believe…
but worse is that old Mr Gum is in the ‘what’s the point of it all’…..phase….it’s getting to the point where I just don’t share certain things because it will make him even more miserable!! LOL….…..but sometimes it is hard to keep it compartmentalised and keep your chin up, as we do see to be beset on all sides…..freedom of speech being taken away incrementally….freedom to travel…medical freedom….freedom of what to eat for goodness sake!….and often thinking that the ‘masses’ don’t even notice!?

I attended a zoom meeting yesterday evening where the speaker was Dr Wolfgang Wodarg. He’s been at the forefront of WHO pandemic criticisms since 2009!
A few of points he made which are very pertinent to us holding the line:
Be truthful, stay happy.
He who defines the issue, controls the issue – semantics matter.
The current approach by government & supranational bodies is akin to the mafia insurance racket. This is probably a very good analogy to use with normies – as ‘good’ citizens, the mafia approach is not approved.

“Viewers blast ‘woke’, ‘awful’ and ‘too politically correct’ Channel 4 coverage of England’s 1-1 draw with Germany – after broadcaster won rights from ITV for Three Lions’ Nations League matches”

I gave up on football probably twenty years ago. The introduction of all this woke crap and getting Ch4 involved is marvellous. Alienating a large audience in this way is not good for the logic of ‘bread and circuses.’

Keep winding the plebs up – wonderful news.

Given the fact that the pronouncements emanating from the facial orifice of this treacherous turd were 100% wrong throughout the whole of the last two plus years why doesn’t Bozo sack him?

Pot and kettle I suppose, oh and Billy Tits in the background.

Raises the question as to what do the global corrupt cabal have on PM so that he can’t sack him & what do they have on Unbalanced that ensures he complies with spouting their lies?
Unbalanced was a colleague of Mike Yeadon towards the start of both their careers & had morals then…

Three things I suspect:

1. I’m sure Bozo has an extremely “exotic” past.
2. He’s been bought.
3. He’ been offered the Magafuli alternative for any disobedience.

And quite possibly all three.

“Then, in September 2017, a more severe outbreak occurred in Nigeria, which had not experienced any monkeypox epidemic in the preceding 39 years. This particular epidemic is still ongoing, sustained by sporadic, regular transmissions that are both zoonotic and interhuman. To date, at least 500 suspected cases have been declared (215 of which have been confirmed). Reassuringly, albeit regrettably, only 8 deaths have been documented in the past 5 years.”

From a recent article in “The Conversation” blog.

So an ‘epidemic’ is now 215 cases over five years. For crying out loud!

Of 27 posts so far – 18:42 – all have received at least one downvote, NickR being the exception. None of these posts are in any way controversial.

No answer yet, and 3 downvotes, to my question of earlier today:

do you need to be a subscribing member to downvote? Or just post?

I don’t mind anyone who’s actually got something to say, but downvote trolls are a bore, pitiful.

Incidentally, the best post I ever put up on LS – a wonderful piss take – ended up with 35 net downvotes (from the days when only the net votes were shown), so heaven knows how many actual downvotes it had. So I don’t mind downvotes as such, just downvote trolls.

I always think a downvote means you’re getting on their nerves…which is a bonus!! But in all honesty why do they think we care? If I post an article, I’m not the author..I’m just posting it because I think it might be something someone might find interesting…if you do great if you don’t…why not say so…let’s have a conflab…. But a down tick? Pointless and totally irrelevant
