- “Voters are looking beyond partygate – and that’s Boris’s problem” – Fraser Nelson in the Spectator says the economic chickens of lockdown are coming home to roost. “The recklessness with which the economy was shut down was always going to carry a price. Johnson had the chance to reopening early last year after the vaccine success, but let Whitty et al. talk him out of it. How much thought did he give to the likely economic consequences of this? Where was his cost-benefit analysis? But it fitted a trend. Tax-and-spend Labour has been replaced by borrow-tax-print-and-spend Conservatism – and we’re now seeing the results.”

“Motivated by hostility towards someone with a protected characteristic”.
What on Earth is a “protected characteristic”?? And what happens with characteristics that are not protected? is it like with the “Fair Trade” scheme where those outside of the scheme end up suffering as a result of losing out to the subsidised competition?
And what is “misgender” for that matter (another “word” not in our dictionary)? Does it mean that the jocular football chant (aimed at male players going down too easily) “she fell over” will be labeled a “non-crime hate incident? Trouble is, you get politicians (nasty nats) talking about banning the Billy Boys song at old firm matches, but if you’re not careful, you end up with the free speech equivalent of democracy in the German “Democratic” Republic.
Its nice steady work, searching the internet for minor indiscretions. You don’t get all sweaty like you do chasing burglars.
Don’t think they need to search. There will be plenty of “victims” and informants reaching out to them.
Never ever understand the grief that Rangers get singing songs about being proud of a British heritage.
On the other hand one recent time Celtic were in town, around Armistice Day, the entire stand to a man san “You can stick your f, ing poppy’s up your arse” and other songs supporting murderers the entire 90 minutes.
Guess which club attracts the ire of the Sinn Fein loving, freedom hating, wont accept a referendum result, one party state SNP government.
Can we self identify as “protected characteristics?”

After squirming around for months, I would raise a glass if the dynamic duo had to resign.
Has anyone seen a swiss cheese model for avoiding pregnancy yet?
Layered protection such as a condom, pants and trousers on at all times should probably be mandatory for men.
Women could wear a properly fitted N95 on their crotch.
Remember:
Hands are better than sex

““An independent inquiry into Covid’s origins is long overdue” – The premature dismissal of the Wuhan lab leak theory casts a shadow over the scientific community, says Matt Ridley in the Telegraph”
This has busted Ridley’s credibility for me altogether: two days after is was announced that polio had been discovered in the London sewers (and you knew something was afoot) the MHRA were busy touting a new polio vaccine in collaboration with the Gates Foundation which would not reinfect which is the real subject of this article. From 1.22.30
https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/uk-column-news-23rd-june-2022
As the presentation makes clear the MHRA are just concerned to push new products and no longer remotely about their safety.
So this is a bit of a revelation. National Institute for Biological Standards and Control is a subdivision of the MHRA which develops products with Bill Gates. Previously there was concern that the MHRA had taken research money from BMGF but this is a commercial conflict of quite a different order.
“Voters are looking beyond partygate – and that’s Boris’s problem.”
Fraser Nelson refers to ‘vaccine success.’ He needs to get his reading glasses on and do some bloody research.
For crying out loud!
Thank you!
Most welcome.
I see #sexstrike in America is trending in the wake of roe vs wade being overturned.
It’s certainly an indirect way of removing the need for abortions.
How ironic.
The Republican Supreme Court struck out Roe vs Wade so that there would be an increase in the supply of people to be shot with their more relaxed gun controls
Practice is needed.
Michelle Obama wakes up from two-year coma

I am heartbroken today.
I am heartbroken for people around this country who just lost the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies.
Me: Only today you’re heartbroken that “people around this country who just lost the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies”? Biden’s mandatory vaxxing and mask wearing wasn’t made today: my body my choice, your body your choice. But you can’t cherry pick choices; body autonomy on all things or none at all.

UKHSA intends to establish the DPS to help fulfil its requirement for the ongoing supply of additional Lateral Flow Testing (LFT) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Kits. UKHSA is therefore seeking applications from potential providers to be admitted to the DPS. UKHSA envisages that the DPS will be divided into the categories of products (Lots) with differential characteristics for the LFT and PCR lots (more fully described in the relevant Specifications
Why now? What is coming that they need to test for??

A 27-year-old died after developing a blood clot on his brain days after his first Covid vaccination, an inquest heard.
Jack Last, of Stowmarket, was given the jab on 30 March 2021 and a week later was being sick and had a headache, the hearing in Ipswich was told.
A CT scan on 10 April revealed a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
Suffolk coroner Nigel Parsley heard Mr Last had surgery and treatment but died on 20 April, 2021.
Cases of clots following vaccination are considered extremely rare. A major UK study said the risk of complications was dwarfed by the risks of the virus itself.
What ‘risk’ are they talking about in a healthy 27 year old? Shocking and absolutely unnecessary death…..
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220620-dutch-join-germany-austria-in-reverting-to-coal
The Hague (AFP) – The Dutch joined Germany and Austria in reverting to coal power on Monday following an energy crisis provoked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Netherlands said it would lift all restrictions on power stations fired by the fossil fuel, which were previously limited to just over a third of output.
Berlin and Vienna made similar announcements on Sunday as Moscow, facing biting sanctions over Ukraine, cuts gas supplies to energy-starved Europe.
1…where do you get the brass-neck to blame Russia for an energy crisis mainly caused by your own sanctions?
2….Where’s the coal coming from?…..as half of Germany’s coal comes from Russia, and Russia is Europe’s largest supplier of thermal coal – the type used in power stations?
https://expose-news.com/2022/06/26/foi-shows-covid-injections-cause-more-deaths/
A response to a request under Freedom of Information (“FoI”) showed that Covid-19 injectable product use has a dose-response: more doses = more cases = more hospitalisations = more deaths.
On 1 June 2022, the Nova Scotia Office of the Deputy Minister Health and Wellness Department responded to a FOI submitted to them on 2 May 2022. “There they go again with that fast and loose use of the word ‘health’,” wrote Dr. Jessica Rose.
