But this cannot be allowed! How can there be emergency authorisation for experimental gene therapy drugs if an alternative is available? It would hurt the profits and cost the pharmaceutical industry billions!
Let’s not forget that Bojo oversaw the definition change of any other therapies / drugs as the Plandemic broke which would have rendered the Jabs unusable !
“Every mask bar one – 99 per cent of the masks examined – contained bacterial colonies on the inside and 94 per cent on the outside. The type of mask worn – cloth or disposable – made no difference to the spread of bacteria. On the other hand, fungus was found on the outside of 95 per cent of masks and on the inside of 79 per cent. An interesting finding was that bacterial counts were lower on the insides of masks worn by women. It suggested this may be because they wear makeup and take better care of their skin.” (The Spectator).
Hmm. Phillip Day noted (in “Cancer, Why We’re Still Dying to Know the Truth”, 2011, p272) that “cancer thrives on an anaerobic environment which lacks oxygen and becomes a haven for fermentation and the proliferation of bacteria, fungi and yeasts”. I wonder how many maskers clean or change their masks after the recommended c. 30 minutes of use?
Like I say, masking is a filthy habit. Oh, and women are different from men. Believe it or not…
“As noted in the media, a number of locations broke all-time temperatures records, with some locations in England reaching 40°C (104°F). ” (WUWT).
Does anyone know the highest temperature actually recorded away from airfields and other artificial sources of heat was?
I dare say they could have recorded an even higher temperature than 40.3 degrees celsius at the measuring device half way up the runway in the “village” of Coningsby if those fighter jets had stopped right by it and raced their engines…
“Having been politically active while in the employment of housing provider L&Q since 2015, I was perplexed to suddenly find myself facing disciplinary action for political activity.
I had stood four times for Parliament, including in the Lewisham East by-election, as well as being No.1 on the list for the Christian People’s Alliance (CPA) for the London Assembly last year.
None of this activity caused any problems for L&Q.
The only problem arose when I stood this year to be mayor of Lewisham. As part of the process, each candidate is granted a full page in the mayoral booklet which goes out to every resident of Lewisham — over 200,000 people. For my contribution I produced a six-point plan which, along with plans to tackle knife crime and fly tipping, included the following statement:
I pledge to cut through political correctness and simply state the truth that natural marriage between a man and a woman is the fundamental building block for a successful society, and the safest environment for raising children.” (The Critic).
I have noted previously in these pages that some years ago, at a time when this was not yet legal, someone working for Trafford Housing Trust after making private comments on a social media site about “same sex marriage” being a right too far, was subsequently demoted by that organisation, which is obviously absurd and concerning on a number of levels. I note further that the fairytale ending of them both living happily ever after to the end of their days remains an ideal; that the best way to achieve this ideal is through marriage, which is a life long union between one man and one woman with the intention of procreating; that whilst I don’t hate anyone and understand that for various reasons people will not always be in this situation, this situation none the less remains an ideal, and there is nothing wrong with having ideals, including ones which may sometimes prove elusive.
I should also add that the above mentioned Christian People’s Alliance said from the start that “covid” originated from a lab leak.in Wuhan. Maybe Maureen Martin could have got done by L&Q for that too. There’s gonna be a lot of people demoted or sacked if we end up with a German Democratic Republic version of free speech. However there is an organisation (the FSU) proposing an alternative vision…
Hey, maybe she could have got sacked for her comments on fly tippers too, who are obviously merely victims of heartless government policies to make disposing of rubbish more difficult and more costly, and are simply exercising fundamental human rights…
“We also gave clear testimony from children who have grown up in same-sex households, demonstrating the detrimental effects it had on their lives. ”
I seem to recall a remarkable survey some years ago of children in Luton who were asked what would be their priority if they ran the country, with the most popular answer being stopping divorce. But of course, what children might need doesn’t matter these days, does it?
” We asked Pink News to provide some research to back up its position that children are better off with same-sex parents — or at least no worse off. It couldn’t come up with anything at all.”
No, they wouldn’t, would they?
P.S. Do feel free to plaster this company’s offices etc. with “this company discriminates against Christians” or “this company does not allow free speech” stickers. They are playing dirty – those of us who value free speech may have to think outside the box (“short-circuit the usual channels ” as Douglas Bader might say) to get through to these people.
N.B. Should read “an equality too far”, not “a right too far” in above post.
And he was commenting on “same-sex marriages” in churches, in a story from 2012.
His key point was “the state shouldn’t impose its rules on places of faith and conscience”.

‘https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11039537/Girl-Guides-sparks-trans-row-interviewing-parents-child-began-living-girl-five.html”
The whole trans debate seems tragic in many ways as the lives and feelings of individuals get caught up in a maelstrom of fierce political ideology and troubled adult thinking about sexuality and gender. If you look at the clothes, books, images etc. that are presented to children there seems to be huge black and white distinctions between what is directed and marketed at girls and what is directed and marketed at boys. As if you need to choose between being 100% ‘girly’ or 100% macho man, when of course human behavioural characteristics exist on a huge scale of types and preferences.
Maybe it is our stereotyping of what it means to be a boy or a girl that needs challenging? If it is felt that a young child must want to change its gender because they prefer wearing a dress to trousers, is the problem with them or with the adults who attach so much significance to a simple straightforward functional garment? Some children just love dressing up, it is a way of learning about the world.
One young child, on hearing something about the trans issue, piped up and stated that boys and girls have different bottoms. Exactly and that is where this issue gets disturbing and sinister as a logical step along this route then becomes puberty blocking drugs and genital surgery. The political ideology seems to push people down this route which effectively leads children into becoming eunuchs and unable to become a mother or a father in adult life.
I think we need to stop this disturbing political ideology imposing itself on prepubescent children. If a 5 year old boy wants to wear a dress, grow his hair and play with a doll, then let him, it is not a problem, if we find that disturbing then the problem is with us not him. Children change very quickly, in a year’s time the boy in a dress may have decided to be a cowboy and want to dress up like Wyatt Earp!
Absolutely! I have a feeling, though, that new grandparents (I am one) and new parents are going to start putting things right now…, as we look at what’s crept up on us in horror. My granddaughter will certainly be subjected to massive counter-propaganda from me! I’ve been thinking for a long time that men are much more straitjacketed by stereotyping than women and can quite understand that men who are very gentle sorts, have soft, or high voices, who are interested in traditionally female pursuits, eg knitting, childcare, whatever, have a very hard time, and society needs to recognise more that there are many different sorts of men, and that if a man doesn’t fit with what society deems as ‘manly’ behaviour, he IS still a man, he’s NOT ‘trapped in the wrong body’, for FFS, and that he must not start taking hormones, even undergo castration (!), to turn himself into something he is not, and never will be.
For direct comparison:
When my daughter was five she wanted to be a dog. For six months, she was adamant she was going to be a dog. She crawled around, woofed, curled up in the dog’s bed etc. Every so often I’d pat her on the head and say ‘good dog’.
She’s eight now and when I remind her of this she looks a little wistful and says yes she would still like to be a dog. But in the three years that have passed she now knows this is physically impossible!
..my question about these things is usually..so what? While I like to think I’m kind, caring and compassionate..when did everything everyone does/says/thinks or feels become everybody’s problem?
I never bother other people with my crap, and quite frankly I don’t want theirs. If I had a child with ‘problems’ of any kind, obviously I’d like to think family and friends would help, and then I’d just go along and face each problem as it came along….I wouldn’t expect ‘the world’ to change to accommodate me…and I would say as much to my child….
if this was my child I would have approached the girl guides locally and sorted it..why does anyone else need to know…or care??
“Brave and digital Ukraine”
Wow…this is frightening and if I was Ukrainian, I, too, would want to get the hell out of Dodge. The Ukrainian government are planning an extreme version of the digital world that is slowly being rolled out to us in the west. They say ‘cashless and paperless’ so everything and everyone can be manipulated and controlled, as if society and people simply want convenience. Is that all we want? I don’t. What is convenience anyway? We were told by the food industries back in the day about ‘convenience foods’ and ‘convenience methods’ for cooking. No more actually choosing your food, preparing it and cooking it. No, that was totally inconvenient (to them) because it meant less time spent working (for them). Now people would have control of their lives – while eating highly processed muck laced with preservatives and other chemicals and cooked by radiation. So much for convenience foods as it leads people to have all sorts of health issues later on. Convenience, to me at least, means less engagement with meaningful life. Convenience in the digital age ushers in AI to do a lot of the jobs, some of them mundane and unfulfilling admittedly, that occupy our time and allow us to earn a living (I’ve always struggled with this concept of having to ‘earn’ a living) – the most important aspect of which is that is allows us to congregate and socialise with other human beings. I can imagine Ukraine as a slave state, people’s lives completely controlled, an authoritarian, faceless, unaccountable and brutal government.
…..I agree it is really weird…..and why the heck has it appeared now?…. especially when you think they are in the middle of a conflict that could extend to other parts of the country, and go on for years.
It’s a shame they can’t put as much effort into talking and finding a solution to their ongoing problems..

Bolstering previous research, scientists publish ‘remarkable’ data showing strong link between vitamin deficiency, prevalent in Israel, and death or serious illness among patients.Israel scientists say they have gathered the most convincing evidence to date that increased vitamin D levels can help COVID-19 patients reduce the risk of serious illness or death.
Researchers from Bar Ilan University and the Galilee Medical Center say that the vitamin has such a strong impact on disease severity that they can predict how people would fare if infected based on nothing more than their ages and vitamin D levels.
