  • “There may be a yellow card system but vaccines for footballers needs a red card” – Roger Watson in Unity News Network says it’s being reported that Premier League players who have refused to take a Covid vaccine are being “frozen out of transfers” by clubs in Europe – but maybe there’s a good reason they don’t want it.

Re Penny Mordaunt, a twitter post stated her gay brother’s partner is “one of the most aggressive TRANS activists in Scotland”, which may explain her stance on what a woman is.

Of course did their reckless and spineless money printing erroneously called QE create much of the current and most of the yet to come inflation. But so did crazy energy, agro and food politics and decisions, criminal warmongering and military aggression spending, failed states support and totally unproductive and useless lockdown and Covid spending.
And the latter and the suicidal sanctions have then created a supply chain disruption induced inflation, which is made even worse through raising interest rates, aka costs, you id*ot central bankers, economists and politicians.

I wonder how people manage in Oman, UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia in hot weather (50 degrees Celsius). The problem is that in other countries people adapt by not going out in the sun in the early afternoon whereas we tend to, mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sun. Then there are people who overhydrate by drinking too much water without replenishing salts.

“Ministers are drawing up an unprecedented plan to manage the soaring temperatures.”

Looks like our brilliant ministers, whoever they are, have cracked this global warming malarkey as they now have a ‘plan to manage soaring temperatures.’

Thank firk for that. Where would we be without these titans? This is multi tasking on an epic scale. A fake war, Scamdemic, immigration out of control, inflation off the scale, a melting rNHS, food shortages on the way, no armed forces, no manufacturing base, collapsed public transport etc.

However, and thank goodness, our lazy bastard ministers have put the above issues to one side and have sorted out ‘soaring temperatures.’

Now get back in your boxes.

Hmm, I don’t like the sound of ‘unprecedented’, but then I shouldn’t worry I suppose as, with the quality of journalism being what it is these days, there is a good chance the writer doesn’t know what it means. After all, for example, they never seemed to know what ‘exponential’ meant during the scamdemic.

They did such a good job at managing that virus, they’ve superglued the Planet’s thermostat on 1.5C, they can control the wind to give us lots of lovely free electricity which can be distributed magically through the air to EVs as they travel along – they are having a bit of trouble with the tides and coastal erosion but they should have that cracked soon.

Good read, especially in light of the objectively pointless Tory leadership contest.
‘Coincidentally’, Bill Gates was in town too when it mattered …

Reg. Shapps now backing Sunak, this is quite telling and indicating that he knows what he is doing and will only back the ultimate winner:
From the DT’s Spectator Summer Party article:
“Mr Shapps, who had arrived as early as 5pm, had to wait nearly two hours for his audience, but he put a compelling argument to the PM. As the Tory Party’s master of the spreadsheet, Mr Shapps has a knack of predicting the outcome of key votes. His prediction of the result of last month’s confidence vote was out by just one, and his predictions have proved similarly reliable in leadership contests.
“Grant told the PM that he had crunched the numbers and if there was another confidence vote he would lose,” said a source. “He said he wouldn’t lose by a huge margin, but he would lose nonetheless, and the situation was worsening all the time.”

In fact, Mr Johnson had already made up his mind by then. Having slept on the matter, he got up at 6am on Thursday and decided the game was up.
“It was all down to the numbers,” said one insider. “There was no dramatic moment where he had a tearful heart to heart with his wife, there was no key intervention. He just looked at the numbers and realised he couldn’t carry on. To have a functioning government you have to put bums on seats, and if you can’t put bums on seats you’re done.””

‘“Britain braced for national heatwave emergency” – Ministers are drawing up an unprecedented plan to manage the soaring temperatures…’

Part of the climate change propaganda.

More people die from cold – so will there be a ‘freezing emergency’ this Winter when people either can no longer afford electricity and gas or, there is none?

Before ‘climate change’ happened, I recall railway lines buckling in the Summer heat, queuing with my parents with buckets at a standpipe during hot-weather water shortages.

And tar melting on roads – do you remember that as well? Currently they are mentioning it as if it’s something unusual!
It’s children I feel sorry for. We know it’s all nothing unusual, but they are being taught hot days are dangerous and a sign of armaggedon. Why can’t they be allowed to enjoy their childhoods?
