“They’re not solving any burglaries, auto thefts or violent crimes. They’re too busy policing our tweets”….
Coppers out on the tweet rather than the beat…says it all.
…or too busy in their meetings prior to policing/ sorry.. attending LGBT Pride parades (so practicing their twerking and appropriate cuckholding poses for the animal farm fetish on leads). My goodness, what on earth have I just had to write there!?!
Have the Chief Medical Officers had anything to say about excess deaths? Too busy urging people to take up further injections this Autumn?
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Would you comsider emailing this to the Daily Sceptic for comment? It seems to show that deaths over the period mentioned are higher for the unvaccinated. I think it needs some sort of response.
I’d be interested to know whether the rates per 100,000 are based on inaccurately low estimates by the ONS of the numbers of people unvaccinated, as appeared to be inadvertently revealed by Hannah Fry during her ‘unvaccinated’ programme. Although, the letter refers to NIMS for vaccination data. I don’t believe for a moment the number of deaths from adverse reactions is just 45.
A brief glance at the first few articles above shows how long and slow this climb out of the Covid madness is going to be. Already, other lunacies have replaced it anyway so while we are still trying to get some form of restitution and justice from the lockdowns and the vaccine mandates etc, we are assailed by the destruction of the very fabric of our society for this highly dubious war (which if you question it, as I did, you get angry responses from the friends you thought had more discernment and intelligence), this seemingly never ending stream of migrants (again, if you question it, you are more or less deemed a rascist), the runaway inflation that politicians say is the price for freedom (standing up to Russian aggression, see point above) and Net Zero. None of these things will give us freedom. They are taking it away. Our freedoms are being taken away by the things we seemingly have no power over: if you question the war, you are a Putin apologist; if you question Net Zero, you are a climate denier; if question the immigration, you are rascist; if you question the vaccines, lockdowns et al, you are a dangerous conspiracy theorist. It leaves you nowhere to go. If they get all their bills passed, you won’t even be allowed to protest or say anything against the tyranny that will be our new normal. How did it come to this in just a few short years? Well, I am certainly not taking this lying down, well, actually sitting down at the moment. I think it’s time we rebelled and I don’t mean an Extinction Rebellion (oh how that played right into the hands of the WEF!), I mean an Existence Rebellion, if that makes sense, rebelling and being non-compliant for our very existence which is not down to the decisions of men and women in think-tanks, and parliaments, and corporate boardrooms but down to our own decisions and choices. If I may be so bold as to suggest some points…
Oh, sorry, I got carried away. I know I may be in lala-land but all dreams have to start somewhere and now more than ever we need a vision of what our futures are going to look like. That is one thing that is missing from most politician’s speeches unless it is this ‘Smart City’ vision where we all watch TV screens, get paid for doing nothing, owning nothing, surveilled 24/7, medicated etc etc etc. Not going down that road thank you very much all the same. Sounds horrendous. Anyway, my tuppence ha’penny’s worth of thoughts for this windy Thursday morning…
I’d agree with most of what you write apart from the reference to ‘young men of military age’. Are you implying that people who I believe to be either fleeing persecution or seeking a better life are somehow part of a clandestine invasion force?
“part of a clandestine invasion force?”
No, of course not.
Just think it through.
Heaven forbid, Chris. However, there are 1. an awful lot of them 2. they don’t seem to have any documentation 3. I wouldn’t put it past TPTB to inflict some horror like that on the British people 4. Our own army is shrinking 5.Riots are on the horizon 6. I’m certainly not the first to mention this. It could be extreme paranoia of course based on my trauma from the past two and a half years of being lied to, coerced, manipulated, de-platformed, censored, ignored, vilified and so on that I now think the unthinkable. Someone’s got to think the unthinkable because in my experience nothing is beyond the elitists currently destroying our society. If they wanted an army to impose martial law, how much better if that army didn’t have personal feelings for the people they were now in control of. We’ll see one way or another.
One other thing…this is the Daily Sceptic – as a sceptic, I am sceptical of a lot of things. This rampant immigration is one of them. I don’t believe they are all fleeing persecution but then I’d never know because THEY don’t tell us. Just a gut feel.
Thanks for your reply Aethelred. I just think we must be careful not to forget who is the enemy, which would be TPTB in your parlance. Of course, a favourite tactic of TPTB is divide and rule. I don’t believe all migrants are fleeing persecution. I think many will be fleeing poverty and looking to make a better life in another country. There may be a few bad apples among them, but no more than any other group of people.
I hope you’re wrong about riots (but fear you could be right) and that resistance remains peaceful. The Canadian truckers were truly inspirational in the way they managed to remain non-violent in the face of extreme provocation. Perhaps, we’ll be rubbing shoulders at a future protest singing the 99% song.
I share your feelings of paranoia. My local town is now bristling with 5G towers and nearby cameras. They look like watchtowers in a prison camp to me.
Aethelred, the Reset is being forced and nobody who should be fighting against it even wants to give it a go. Bozo is too lazy and immoral to even care. Most MP’s don’t know what day it is and don’t even care. The sheeple stick to the lies put out by MSM because they are too frightened to confront the horrors approaching them and anyway governments don’t imprison and kill their own people.
As the MSM are starting to leak – WOW, bit of a cock-up these last two years, what?
Never mind, stiff upper lip and all that. Keep calm and carry on.
We are Screwed!
Well, HP, I think I am a bit more optimistic but maybe you’re right. I feel there are forces at work behind the scenes that we are not even aware of. Maybe I have faith – not hope – but faith in humanity to turn this around still. We still have a long way to go and it ain’t over until the fat woman sings (am I allowed to say ‘fat’ and ‘woman’ in one sentence?). If we get through all this, HP, and DS is still here in a couple of years and there are pubs to drink in and actual cash to spend in them, I’ll buy you a stiff one or two…

I see the Oxford Principle Ivermectin trial is still on-going. That’s alright, take your time. There’s obviously no rush (or profit to be made)!
If the Swiss Cheese model is acceptable for controlling a pandemic why isn’t Boris allowed to suggest buying a new kettle as part of a layered approach to the energy crisis?
COVID: UK’s alert level downgraded from level 3 to 2In a statement, the chief medical officers of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland say further COVID surges are still “likely” and people should be “prepared by getting a vaccination when it is offered”. SKY NEWS…..
I’m sure that like me you’ll be very relieved…LOL….I’ve been at covid defcon 0 for most of the time….LOL!
