“Stagflation and Net Zero”
Neither has the government explained how, reducing our 1% of global CO2 is going to balance the output from India and China.
Even if you believe that our world is about to end due to a small increase in fractional gas, surely your thinking should be about campaigning against the biggest contributors to that process, not squeezing our lemon at enormous financial and social cost.
They also need to explain how mass immigration is compatible with reducing emissions.
I think they have refused to consider a cost-benefit analysis on this issue too…
How to spill the beans that so called COVID vacinnes are dangerous and harmful?
(Or We can’t afford net zero so how do we u turn etc)
1. Get the public used to the possibility that scientists manipulate data
2. Start with Alzheimer’s research. Doesn’t affect too many so it won’t over startle the spineless masses
3…
1. And not just scientists – politicians might be a more useful word. After all, if you look at recent articles about the educational background of the forthcoming PM candidates, you will notice that their education was nothing to do with science.
Not sure if it will do any good, but I have complained to the BBC about the biased program ‘unvaccinated’.
”YOUR COMPLAINT:
Bias, unbalanced program
The program ‘Unvaccinated ‘ was full of factual inaccuracies:
-vaccines mentioned as 100% safe
-jelly bean experiment: a lot more nuance needed and all known side-effects should be included not just myocarditis
– GP stating that vaccines don’t affect sperm count or motility. Recent study shows differently.
Etc.
It was not fair to produce a program without experts on either side of the debate.
Very sloppy journalism.
You would also not put some pro-vaccine individuals in a house with some experts who think the vaccine administration need to be tailored to individual risk.
I would like to see a public apology and an unbiased debate on this issue between experts. Now that would be good journalism.”
Will see what their reply is…
It will be full of stock corporate phrases saying that the programme was fully researched and backed up by their ‘experts’ and so-called independent ‘fact checkers’.
Unfortunately, I think that will be the case. Gone are the days when the BBC would acknowledge the shortcomings of a programme due its poorly researched factual content.
Yes, Ive heard about “their” experts. Plenty of people’s “experts have been wrong, and will be again.
They’ll probably get an algorithm to write you a response! BTW, anyone surprised that they didn’t edit out the expert testimony that “it isn’t very good at reducing infection and onward transmission”? Perhaps even the BBC can’t hide from this limitation of the vaccines given the evidence. This bloke needs quoting to anyone in favour of vaccine passports or any other form of coercion or mandate – that’s it’s now acknowledged in even the mainstream news and health officialdom that they can’t fulfil the very single justification for enacting vaccine-related rules.
“Europe must act now or risk tougher Covid measures later”
These sound bites sound like diktats rather than advice and in between the words they use, it feels like they are issuing threats: Get vaccinated or else! The WHO’s importance continues to be a thing in the mainstream world but by now most of us who payed attention know that they are just another cog in the new world order, great reset, or whatever totalitarian dangly ballsy things they are planning. Clearly the vaccine passports will return at some stage further down the line and they need us to adopt digital money otherwise they will not have total control. So, we must hold onto cash at all costs. It is something we could generate a huge campaign about because it is planned and is on the Gov.Uk website in the public domain hence not a conspiracy – by which I mean the MSM and other nonsense pedlars can’t point their weasel fingers at us and cry ‘conspiracy theorist!’.
There are lots of things I pay for by card, but others that I prefer to pay cash for, such as buying rounds in a pub, or visiting specific places that I don’t want the bank to know about in detail and so on. Not that I’m a conspiracy theorist, but loads of people broadcast a lot about their activities to the system.
The WHO must shut up voluntarily now or risk tougher measures later.
Not very probable, though, but we can at least dream of it.

‘“Climate Alarmists Respond to the Global Warming Pause” – Eric Worrall in WUWT doesn’t find the rebuttal persuasive: “The oceans swallowed my global warming?’
That again?
What they couldn’t explain then or now, is how the heat got from the atmosphere into the deep oceans without passing through the top 1/2km of water where it would have been detected and recorded by the ARGO array and other marine temperature measurements collected by merchant and military shipping.
And these liars play word games.
Indeed, global warming – such as it is – hasn’t paused, but that is not the point and has never been the issue for those who challenge these charlatans, it is the RATE of warming that is disputed and which has flatlined and went into slight decline.
Difference, if you like, between speed and acceleration.
The Climaghedonnistas insisted rate of temperature increase would accelerate in step with CO2 emissions.
It hasn’t.
And that is what has them so upset. None of their models are validated by observation; none of the blazing hot Summers, snow-free Winters, hurricanes every five minutes, have happened as predicted.
Winters have been snow free in large parts of Europe for quite some time … in the past.
I still fondly remember new years’s eve in Mainz in 2000. There were a lot of people partying on the Lu (Ludwigstraße) and someone had set up a DJ on top of the Roman gate who played the usual junk party music and then, it suddenly started snowing (lightly). I stared upwards in total amazement and thought something like WTF’s going on now! I haven’t seen any snow for years! Since then, snow in winter has been making a gradual comeback and it has again become an expected feature of winter years ago.
Of course, the climate clowns claim that’s Extreme weather caused by climate change and – unfortunately – sufficiently young people who have never experienced really snowy winters probably believe them.
Irrespective of efficacy of the toxic covid bioweapon injections, Sasha Latypova has analysed the Pfizer FOIA documents for process. There is no need to disprove the claimed efficacy as the trial process is fraudulent. Damning evidence from pharma’s own documents.

“That means I don’t wish to be blackmailed, again, by being told that if I don’t let the state inject into my bloodstream whatever concoction Big Pharma has cooked up this week, I won’t be allowed to board a flight, cross international borders or eat in a restaurant.”
But she, Lionel Shriver, was absolutely fine with that happening to all those who saw the light a bit earlier than she did.
This is interesting. Flu A & B was rebranded as covid….

They must really think we were born yesterday! Neither masks nor jabs have done anything at all to prevent “tougher measures” later. If anything, they seem to encourage tighter restrictions later. The best way to prevent “tougher measures” later is to simply….go cold turkey, no restrictions. And don’t look back. Full stop.
“Europe must act now or risk tougher Covid measures later” – European nations must accelerate vaccine uptake and bring back mask wearing to tackle a surge in COVID-19 cases driven by an Omicron offshoot and avoid stricter measures later in the year, a senior World Health Organisation official said on Tuesday, according to the Cyprus Mail”
This has been run-of-the-mill WHO corona messaging since 2020: You must all do what we demand now, otherwise, things will get so bad that you’ll have to take much harsher measures in future (and you’ll don’t want that because they’ll be even worse for you).
They’re also (still) lying about this: Pretty much every other week since the mask mandate was abandoned, a cacophony of voices has been demanding that it must urgently be reinstated or else. Should this happen, as Johnson did in December 2021, the same people whose song was Mask up now to avoid harsher measures in future will immediatley switch to Lock down now to avoid COVID apocalypse in future!, ie, once their demands are met, they’ll escalate them.
As I already wrote in an earlier comment, the ideal situation would be The WHO must shut up voluntarily now or risk tougher measures in future.
WHO should be told in no uncertain terms to F. right off. They are at best a talking shop and have no place in how sovereign nations run their affairs.
Just cringed my way through the BBC’s “Unvaccinated”. A fine use of misleading statistics was pulled out of the bag at roughly the half-way mark, where a medical doctor claimed that 20 out of the 21 occupants of the ICU at one point were unvaccinated. The presenter called this a “SLAM DUNK”!
Firstly, her basketball analogy was a Freudian slip conveying the real objective behind this hour of flagrant propaganda: To “convert the heathens”, to reach into the minds of the “unclean”, while incidentally showing them up to be the misinformation-guzzling ignoramuses that they are. This is at odds with the description of this objective outlined in the introduction (to “understand” what was causing vaccine denial and hesitancy). No, this was clearly a contrived brainwashing recipe designed to turn the country most bitterly against those who would exercise their free choice not to volunteer themselves as lab rats.
Secondly, pertaining to this “slam dunk” of an anecdotal hospital statistic, of course this was presented devoid of context: What does 20 out of 21 ICU occupants being unvaccinated prove? One question that, quite incredibly, none of the participants thought to venture at this point was: What was the average age of those 21 gravely ill patients? Here we can only speculate, but it is overwhelmingly probable that they were elderly and had underlying conditions, since around 90% of even hospital admissions are of this category. Assuming this, 20 out of 21 proves to me that vaccinations work for Covid in those in the most vulnerable category. Would those 20 have been in ICU at some point for something other than Covid, if they had received the vaccine. We’ll never know, but one thing it certainly does NOT prove is that Covid vaxxes should be recommendable across the age spectrum and regardless of health status!
These hapless folk, admittedly, had been swayed by some (potential) “mis-information” on the web, but all this BBC doc accomplished was to sway some opinions in the direction of another kind of “mis-information”.
