  • “Risk benefit of the vaccines is NEGATIVE according to a new paper from Stanford, UCLA, others” – New paper from Peter Doshi et al.

Has anyone told Devi “100% safe” Sridhar?

And will Stanford University be censored along with Oxford University professor Carl Heneghan?

In fact, can I suggest a new name for the last couple of years or so? The great lie!

Apparently called because his members could not be 100% guaranteed that there would be no compulsory redundancies. Hang it, I wish that I could have had a 100% guarantee! Unfortunately though these sort of things happen if you trash the economy. Anyone see Mick Lynch at anti-lockdown protests? (To be fair, I did see some Socialist Worker people, but no MRT or the like that I remember).

Just as I’m reading stuff I often notice the total disconnect between things….no, I don’t think they join up any of their thinking…mainly because we are ‘ruled’ by numpties…..latest example…

the USA has imposed new regulations on the import of goods from the Xinjiang region of China.
Under the rules, firms have to prove imports from the region are not produced using forced labour.
US officials have said members of the minority Uyghur community in the region, who are predominantly Muslim, have been detained and made to work.
Several imports from the resource-rich region, including cotton and tomatoes, have already been banned from the US.
The restrictions will be extended to all imports under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), which took effect on Tuesday.

so, two things I’ve read recently spring to mind…
.A crisis’: The US tampon shortage, explainedEven before the pandemic hit, US manufacturers imported much of the main raw materials needed to make tampons – namely, cotton and rayon (also known as viscose) – from Asia and Europe because domestic production was insufficient, Hanna told Al Jazeera.
(So you’ve just banned one of your major sources of COTTON….)!!

…and you literally just banned all goods from Xinjiang when it manufactures 50% of the world’s polysilicon, the base material for solar panels…
(just as you are reducing your reliance on fossil fuels….)

Numpties!

“Boris Johnson pumps the brakes on drive for green fuel.”

Translation – more price rises on the way in order to reduce consumption.

Well if Bozo forces the price of fuel up at the pumps that should ensure a reduction in use.

From yesteray’s royundup:

  • “Secondary school bans pupils from hugging, high-fiving or shaking hands with each other with strict no contact rule” – Pupils at Mossley Hollins High School in Greater Manchester were also barred from sitting on overcrowded benches, with one pupil slamming the rules after she asked permission for a friend to hug her, reports the Mail.

Near you isn’t it HP? When is this nonsense going to stop? Bring back the Birkenhead drill! Would you believe, people from our anti-lockdown were shaking hands through 2020 and 2021 – none of us are dead!

It certainly is near us Hugh, in fact from the top of the hill we can see the school. It actually is the very definition of ‘a blot on the landscape.’ A plug ugly shamebles. It is a ghastly mishmash of materials, facades and protuderances which is entirely in keeping with our super woke society.

“Anguish of young man who had sex organs removed as he sues NHS”

You can only feel sorrow for all the confused kids who have been encouraged to get on the conveyor belt of sex changes by ‘trans’ supporting doctors. No doubt its all warm and supportive for their brave and special feelings at one end, and ending in wholesale butchery at the other. Boys being castrated, girls having double mastectomies performed on them, none of which produce functional opposite sexual organs. It is evil, truly evil and a disgrace on our society that we permit this.

I sometimes see adverts on TV begging for money to stop FGM in Africa, with concerned middle age women exclaiming ‘how can this be allowed to happen’, but look at what we are encouraging in our own country…

He wasn’t a kid though. In his 30s. He made the decision to have his penis removed. ‘Feels like a eunuch’. I wonder what he expected. But do agree – evil. Evil is in charge at the moment.

Their rights to live in this country should be rescinded immediately, they must purchase one way tickets to Nigeria at their expense – sorted. Neither fit nor deserving to live in this country.

‘Ukraine should give up Donbas as the price of peace’

The Bishop of Leeds is recommending that Britain, like Putin, reneges on the Budapest Memorandum:

‘The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine’

No wonder so many others are reneging on their commitment to the Church of England.

So no mention on this site of the Globalist Puppet Popularity Contest that happened recently in which our Glorious Leader’s party lost a couple of seats.

The Guardian is wetting their knickers that the Tories lost some seats.

It really doesn’t matter, Labour and the Libs are controlled by exactly the same people, they might go about imposing tyranny on us in different ways, but the result will be the same.

Next up: Impoverish and starve the proles to death! Strip them of their property! This would not have been necessary if 100% of those awkward oiks lined up to get their death shots like good little subjects.

‘Ukraine should give up Donbas as the price of peace’

Superb article in the Spectator by the brilliant Svitlana Morenets which essentially blows the good bishop’s silly comment out of the water.

‘…we don’t need to guess what he would do if given another slice of Ukraine. He’d do what he did when he failed to occupy the whole Donbas and Luhansk regions in 2014: return with a bigger army.’

To make it easier for all of us except the good though obviously rather dim Bishop, Putin even told us that is what he would do…….and then he told us again…..and…….etc.

How on earth are they continuing to get away with this travesty….?
Dr Clare Craig (not one of her impersonators)
@ClareCraigPath

Pfizer wrote two paragraphs in their FDA submission that are teasers of what’s to come.

4th doses for under 5 yr olds.

No more placebo control group.

Their placebo control had only 6 weeks follow up for safety before they unblinded and vaccinated them.

Eliminating control groups regarding vaxx, lockdowns, masks etc has been a primary objective because that way they can just claim their measures worked.

FFS! The surprise is probably that he identifies with being part of the LGBTQPFN+ lot – he’ll turn up in a full women’s wedding dress with a swastika tattoo on his face…

That NZ leader type woman(?) will probably turn up to endorse him…

https://off-guardian.org/2022/06/24/polio-outbreak-the-who-bill-gates-emergency-vaccines-more-of-the-same/

Having tried to work everybody up with moneypox and been laughed out of town, Lord Billy’s back up plan had to be rolled out:

The new ‘pandemic’ is polio and fortunately for Billy he has already got a new “vaccine” ready to go – the old one was crap. And having already been authorised for use there is no need for any testing nonsense.

The tills are ready to rock.

Here we go, here we go, here we go ooh.

How utterly predictable. I wonder what the backup to the backup will be? Legionnaires perhaps?

Michelle Obama wakes up from coma

She said that today she is heartbroken that “people around this country who just lost the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies“.
Obviously she has been in a coma because Biden’s mandatory vaxxing and mask wearer wasn’t made today.

USA is a total basket case right now. It’s so polarised that each side just wants to wipe out the other. There’s no middle ground at all and unfortunately this seems to be spilling over to the rest of the world.
