Nice one Aethelred
Afternoon hux. Just to be different as it’s now midday here.
Digging your ref to another ’80s tune I’d forgotten all about!
Many thanks Mogs.
Nothing wrong with a drop of Orange Juice.
Tony Bliar can go stuff it.
He’s just sorry he wasn’t PM during covid, he would have loved being a fascist totalitarian dictator, as proved by calling a war for no reason other than that he could. By now we would have lockdowns for terrorism as well. (And now, it’s the govt who are the terrorists.)
I was going to write a comment but honestly, that deluded man deserves no comment from me or any more of my time than I can expend in under 30 words…
I will do it for you Aethelred – he’s a Next Tuesday Warrior.
If Tony Bliar thinks it’s a good idea, then you know damned well that it is anything but!
I wonder if Bliar can let us have the research on which he is basing his edict?
Most likely not as he’d be strung up by the public for his actions which the blackmailers are using…..
Blair is like toxic waste. We should thank him for asking for a return of masks. He has so little status and credibility that it makes it less likely to happen.
I expect it will be even worse than that as everyone reduces their spending to concentrate on ‘essentials’. The number of lifestyle businesses that will suffer both from increased costs and reduced attendance will balloon… who, when they are scrimping to pay for food and the energy to cook it with, is going to maintain gym membership, yoga classes or go to the pub for an eight pound pint? Those who are employed in that sector will find themselves literally out in the cold, I think?
Has the problem of people cancelling their yoga classes etc. even occurred to the fat cats of Downing Street? Did someone forget to tell them? With their bloated salaries, silly things like gas bills are loose change to them, they don’t realise that if the lesser mortals have to give all their money to the energy companies, unemployment will skyrocket.
And, yet again, one is faced with the thought that if someone is apparently incapable of seeing the bleedin’ obvious as it sits balefully right in front of them… they’re doing it deliberately?
MP’s don’t pay utility bills for anything. Even their bloody petrol is on expenses.
I think you’re right, pjar. Our society is going to go through an equivalent of the lockdown effect affecting pubs, cafes and restaurants not to mention other lifestyle businesses and of course this will affect the nascent rise in employment opportunities. The government bleat on about tackling inflation and they could do something about it but all we will get are empty words and promises. On the other side, sales of woodburners and insulation will probably increase. Anything that saves a few pounds here and there. Interestingly, I saw on UK column a graph depicting the percentage rise and fall of the price of a barrel of oil over recent months and how that did not translate into a similar percentage rise and fall in fuel at the pumps costs. Once again, it is the transfer of wealth going up and nothing coming down to us peasants.
Let us not forget the whole situation has been manufactured: inflation, fuel price increases, water shortages, NHS backlogs, power outages (upcoming), rampant immigration and on…
It’s not always about what they say it’s about.
…you bad person, don’t you know it’s all about being good and righteous for Ukraine….if it saves just one life…..(it doesn’t really matter how many millions of others it ruins…..)

Latest from Dave Cullen, observing that the scamdemic was just the conditioning phase, to see how amenable ( and gullible AF ) the public were to having their lives turned upside down, inalienable rights stripped etc, now its on to Phase 2 of The Agenda. “You can’t comply your way out of tyranny.” Ain’t that the truth which should be plain as day by now? Total control is the plan, which is now perfectly apparent with these manufactured ‘crises’. Good stuff; https://odysee.com/@ComputingForever:9/carbon-poverty:9

What is the situation in the UK regarding bird flu? We’ve had 3.5 million chickens slaughtered allegedly due to this virus, and that number will grow as its been going on since October last year and no end in sight. This is bloody tragic quite honestly. And isn’t this all based off of PCR? As I understand it, the authorities don’t even need a positive PCR from a neighbouring farm, they can just order the farmer to cull their flock based on proximity to a farm which had a positive result.
So before I would have just thought what a shame it was but accepted that bird flu outbreaks have been happening for many years all over the world. However, knowing what we know now I feel it would be entirely reasonable to question if this isn’t yet another attack on our food supply. Just like the fires in the various food plants in the U.S, are we supposed to just assume these things are just unfortunate coincidences? Given what we know the likes of the WEF and globalists want for us, eating less animal produce and taking control via the food supply, the attack on farmers, Gates buying up shed-loads of agriculture land that he still hasn’t disclosed a reason for etc…only a very naive/thick/willfully ignorant person wouldn’t be clocking the many red flags at this point.
In Ireland dairy farmers are being incentivized to cull some of their herd by being offered 5,000 euros per cow. Can anybody remember anything like this happening in their lifetimes? I certainly can’t.
€5000 per cow?? That’s insane. I can imagine many an embattled dairy farmer taking up that offer straightaway. So animals are removed from the food supply by stealth. Bit by bit. Dairy herds are slowly built up, they don’t happen overnight. I happen to know an organic dairy farmer and he has his heifers in the fields for up to a year or more to develop their strength and stamina before they are inseminated and start their lives as milkers. Once they’re milkers, they are only productive for a couple of seasons before they’re ‘retired’. Forgive my language, I don’t like referring to sentient animals like this but it’s the reality. Anyway, €5000, paid for by the Irish taxpayer, is way over the odds for a cow that is going to end up at the abattoir.
I think you are right about this agenda, Mogs. I didn’t know about the bird flu cullings as I’ve stopped eating eggs and don’t eat chicken. Anything that threatens our food supply seem to be fair game now. Many people get their nutrition from animal products, not insects, but animals and this will further weaken immune systems. Animal products will just get more expensive as a result of their increasing scarcity – although that is a few years down the line but in line with 2030. And more and more coverage of insect food. I, for one, don’t want bug butter, locust oil or fried worms in my diet. However, they are targeting children and certain spineless celebrities are promoting insect cuisine. It doesn’t require genius to join up the dots.
Yeah, agreed. If it were just the so-called bird flu in isolation one might be forgiven for leaving it at that, but now there’s too many other things happening to just look the other way or assume its coincidence. I think, if anything, its a coincidence pandemic we’re experiencing, more than any flipping viral sort.
Quite right Mogs.
…”off of?” ???
Now now Mr Piggles. Just because I text how I speak…shame autocorrect works only for spelling and not grammar. And what with someone pulling me up for my lack of punctuation in the other section, completely missing the point of my post…
Tough crowd.
Where I live in North Yorkshire we had a lot of yellow bird flu zone posters up last year…I think the UK had a ‘medium alert’ imposed last November. Ours was based around a local animal rescue facility, and was mainly to do with wild birds…
I think the UK is now on low alert, the mandatory requirements, whatever they were, were lifted a few days ago.
The situation is that the crackpots have absolutely free reign in this area and can thus not only order chicken lockdowns to save the NHS^W^W^W slow the spread of the virus but also do some stuff they haven’t yet been allowed to emply against men flu, namely, mass-culling of infected birds and every other even remotely close them.
Considering that the primary host of this virus are wild birds who are immune to it, that’s the same kind of insane disease conservation strategy also employed with COVID. Herd immunity must not be accomplished. Hence, keep killing chicken who might otherwise become immune to it. Bank on the virus dying of boredom (or something similar) before humans have extinguished all chicken on this planet.
But nothing on Ukraine? Hmmmm…..
‘Regarding the explosions in Crimea, I can repeat what I have repeatedly written: This is a difficult war going on with a high-tech enemy, who, moreover, does not experience a shortage of weapons, personnel, space, radio engineering and undercover intelligence, as well as military intelligence.’

“In Crimea, an ammunition depot is on fire. Dear Rybar team, what, in your opinion, is happening in Crimea in terms of past f*ck-ups of our command (Saky ammunition depot)? Why are such f*ck-ups, in principle, are allowed by the command in wartime? Isn’t it time for Shoigu to retire a couple of staff members?”
Rybar 16 Aug 22
‘Another sabotage in Crimea. A transformer was burnt down in Dzhankoy, and a large ammunition depot was blown up near the village of Maiskoye, Dzhankoy District. Presumably, the strikes were carried out by “kamikaze” drones, but a simple sabotage cannot be ruled out.
We are waiting for new messages from the Russian Ministry of Defense about non-compliance with fire safety rules, as well as about New successes in tank biathlon and about the largest fireworks in the world …
The partners struck the third blow at the airfield near the village of Gvardeyskoye in the Simferopol region. With a drone.’

..that’s because you really don’t make any comments about Ukraine, other than to toe the party line…with your tit for tat bits of propaganda.
so tit, here’s my tat…
https://kyivindependent.com/investigations/suicide-missions-abuse-physical-threats-international-legion-fighters-speak-out-against-leaderships-misconduct
In early May, a lieutenant from Brazil arrived in Ukraine to join the International Legion following President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call to “citizens of the world” to come and help defend Ukraine.”
He thought his vast experience in the Brazilian army had prepared him for pretty much any task.
Yet he was neither ready to carry out suicide missions by order of his command, nor to tolerate orders to loot and steal.
No need for comment when the protagonists speak for themselves.
The general lack of progress of the barbaric, quite staggeringly incompetent, Russian invasion is clear for all to see.
Thank you very much for your interesting contribution regarding a lieutenant from Brazil.
Blah blah blah….and thank-you for your usual dose of propaganda, and your usual bit of criticism of whatever doesn’t fit your juvenile fairy story..I suspect it’s desperation, and the effort of posting all the clap-trap….

No need to apologise ebygum. I suppose 77th have concluded that they can afford at least a fiver to troll on here.
…thanks HP, I feel a numpty for being drawn in, and then making myself feel worse by making comments that don’t make me feel any better!! Live and learn……
One day in the, hopefully distant, future I’ll be lying on my deathbed and still be haunted by possibly one of the dumbest things ever said by anyone:
“The masks would have worked if it wasn’t for the variants”
It wasn’t just the masks. Every time an action didn’t produce the “expected” results it was because the virus evolved to evade all such actions.
…also can I nominate the little coda at the end of…”I’m just getting over Covid for the third time in the last few months..THANK GOD I’M VACCINATED, IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!”
LOL!

The parents could not consent because they DID NOT KNOW what was in the bioweapon injections. Nobody could tell them. Whoever injected these children committed medical battery. Fear was the driver. With fear, the only part of the brain which ‘thinks’ is the amygdala. The amygdala response is emotional only.

COVID Vaccines, Treatments To Move From Government To Commercialization By 2023
One of the things we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about in the last many months — and we’re going to continue this work, and you’ll hear more from the administration on this — is getting us out of that acute emergency phase where the U.S. government is buying the vaccines, buying the treatments, buying the diagnostic tests. We need to get out of that business over the long run,” Jha said.
By next year, COVID treatments, including vaccines, should be integrated into the regular health care system for people to access in the same way that they seek help for other diseases, said a White House co-ordinator.
https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(22)00271-3
SummaryThere is a need for safe and effective platform vaccines to protect against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. In this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial, we evaluate the safety and efficacy of multi-dose Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine for prevention of COVID-19 and other infectious disease in a COVID-19-unvaccinated, at-risk-community-based cohort. The at-risk population are adults with type 1 diabetes. We enrolled 144 subjects and randomized 96 to BCG and 48 to placebo. There were no drop-outs over the 15-month trial. A cumulative incidence of 12.5% of placebo-treated and 1% of BCG-treated participants meets criteria for confirmed COVID-19, yielding an efficacy of 92%. The BCG group also displays fewer infectious disease symptoms and lesser severity, and fewer infectious disease events per patient, including COVID-19. There were no BCG-related systemic adverse events. BCG’s broad-based infection protection suggests that it may provide platform protection against new SARS-CoV-2 variants and other pathogens.
Me…this is an interesting study…Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the live attenuated vaccine form of Mycobacterium bovis used to prevent tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. The vaccine was developed by Calmette and Guerin and was first administered to human beings in 1921. BCG is the only vaccine against tuberculosis…
….just personally I would add that Ivermectin is also considered to be another Mycobacterium treatment!! Coincidence?

That is horrific. And didn’t John O’Looney alert us to these mysterious clots in this country?
I have been saying since the release of these ‘jabs’ that they have been brewed to a recipe, Dr Mike Yeadon believes so and this report leads to a similar conclusion.
We are looking at mass deaths in the next few years. Or as some would call it – Democide.

Just a little story…
I had to go to the GP Surgery this morning. Duly directed upstairs. Through one door and there at the end of a corridor was a Dr in his room, at his desk, no patient. The doctor was sat there with a blue plastic nappy on his face. On his own. Unbelievable.
When I came downstairs from my appointment the doctor was there calling for his next patient- with his blue plastic mask glued to his face. FFS!
He was young too, about thirty. How can we have confidence in witch doctors like this?
An utter disgrace and clearly not fit to practice.
