“A gingerbread person? Morrisons takes the biscuit for wokery as the supermarket chain brings gingerbread men bang up to date after getting complaints from shoppers”
I’ve got to hand it to the Wokies. Every time I think we are approaching maximum stupid, they find a whole new level to move to.
Gingerbread men have no male genitalia, which, I would have thought, would make them perfect banner carriers for Trans. And who, ffs, would ‘complain’ about it anyway. Do we have to collapse at the first sign of trouble..? After Brexit, Sir John Major rather disingenuously talked about the ‘Tyranny of the Minority’. Well we certainly have that now don’t we Sir John…
It’s difficult to get into the mindset of someone who would actually go so far as to complain. Were they genuinely trying to buy a Gingerbread Man and asking for one caused them to break down in floods of tears or were they the Woke Police out to spread their message of joylessness and rewritten history? Expect Jesus to be ‘re-sexed’ soon and for some radical decolonising of the Bible.
In the same Mail article there is a classic example of extreme wokery:
Recruitment agency boss Nicole Mamo was told that she couldn’t place an ad at the Jobcentre in Thetford, Norfolk, seeking hard-working and reliable employees as it could be offensive to lazy and unreliable people. As if they could be bothered to complain…
Woke is actually a brain disease that attacks the areas of the mind that control common sense, rationality and logic. Even the idea that European rational mind is something to be decolonised is now mooted as we see in the latest idea to decolonise mathematics. It’s happening everywhere at every level. Any mention of ‘man’ is changed as we already see. In their view, it is the end of the patriarchy but they associate the end of any mentions of ‘man’ or ‘men’ as the same.
So – we no longer have manipulation of an historical sweetmeat and accepted cultural norm but transipulation. Well they can eff right off and shame on Morrisons for caving in. Next time they put a cherry on top of a cupcake I’m going to complain that it’s too much like a nipple on a pap and should be removed as being overtly sexist.
I’m going to complain about their name…surely Morris’ daughters should get a look in too?
You’d think that care homes being underfunded and understaffed would be a very strong reason to allow residents to have regular/frequent visitors to help feed and clothe and bathe and support/entertain/interact with them!
Illogical, insane and very sad! ( to keep banning visitors ).
Unless a Deprivation of Liberty document is in place, a care home has no lawful right to keep the residents incarcerated. A DOLs certificate is notoriously difficult to achieve as it is a legal document stating that the individual subject to the DOLs lacks capacity to live independently but crucially does not state that the individual lacks capacity to make any decision as mental capacity for decision making has to be assessed for each decision.
Even though an individual is a care home resident denying them access to their friends & family breaks human rights legislation of right to family life.
Denying a resident access to family & friends is a perfect excuse to hide piss poor care behind.
You can bet though that with the absolute trashing of human rights these last 3 years that this atrocity will be permitted to continue.
Not giving consent for even a seemingly small abuse is the most important thing that each of us can do as this is what enables the abuse to continue.
“Illogical, insane and very sad! ( to keep banning visitors ).”
Very sad indeed but if mortality targets have to be hit it is neither illogical nor insane.
Good grief! Has anyone looked at this yet? Does it stand up? Incredible drop in Australian births in November and December 2021.
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/whats-going-on-with-births-down-under
Looks as if it is probably data lag, because a couple of the comments at substack state that at least one of the Australian states shows a drop from average 5,000ish/month to just 21 births, which seems extremely unlikely, even impossible.
This is why I have subscribed to Jessica in the past and then unsubscribed.
If you’re not yet familiar with Whitney Webb keep a look out for her articles and interviews. She’s a fantastic investigative journalist. Here’s her latest interview ( 1hr 20mins ) where she talks about the book she’s written on Epstein inc the Maxwells and Clintons, for the first half then she covers other topics such as transhumanism, eugenics, why Elon Musk is not to be trusted, WEF and more. Quality stuff as ever.

Morning all…
A couple of weeks ago I put on a Tweet from Doctor David Eli, who said that, as a doctor, and having studied and come out against the MRNA….he was horrified he’d never really looked at the efficacy of the annual flu vaccine, and now that he had, he wouldn’t bother with it.
Although I am not a doctor, nor do I think this about all vaccines, I have tried to find some RCT evidence for the efficacy for flu jabs..and couldn’t find anything except a 2016 study which didn’t show massive effectiveness…
Now this from Igor Chudov..
https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/influenza-vaccine-is-perfect-example
Take, for example, the “influenza vaccine.” The presentation prepared by and for CDC, compiled by Jessie Chung et al., shows data on the performance of “the influenza vaccine” in the 2021-2022 season. The study uses a “test-negative design” and is not a randomized trial. (James Lyons-Weiler and Justin Hart discussed many times how CDC prefers this method to hide the underperformance of vaccines). But even that method could not hide the utter ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine.
Well worth a read..
Australian birth rate: I always said that Oz was full of wa**ers, maybe this is the proof.
A grey foggy morning to you all.
Do you remember Meredith Miller’s superb reply to Emily Oster’s article asking for amnesty? Meredith was the guest at the MD4CE group meeting yesterday evening. What a woman! The topic was how to heal from an abusive relationship ie the abusive torture which the governments around the globe have imposed on the population. She’s incredibly articulate & can explain clearly in layman’s terms what has been going on & gave suggestions of how we each can help ourselves. By healing ourselves & raising our own energy levels we raise the positive healthy energy levels. When we interact with asleep individuals our energy levels are diminished, so we have to protect ourselves in order to heal as nobody is going to be able to come to our rescue.
Discussion of how to use a quiz given a positive title to lure in the normies could be developed to hopefully give the tools to those folk to wake themselves up. Nobody can wake anybody else up, it has to be done by each person. This is why it has been so isolating & difficult. The psychological & nervous system mechanism is explained clearly by Meredith.
The recording can be viewed on Rumble. I advise you to watch it as it is an uplifting meeting with practical advice of things which we each can do to help ourselves & how we interact with folk & how to spot relationships which are abusive. It is the covert abuse which is so difficult to spot as it is hidden behind a supposedly positive caring façade (I wear my mask to protect my friends) which the majority of folk can’t see through & their acceptance & compliance is what enables the abuse to continue.

People who’ve never been exposed to knowledge or learning end up clueless.
The first time they encounter something new they have no idea what to do.
A bit like how the immune system works.
Now we have “experts” basically saying exposure to knowledge makes people stupid.
“Germany and France are growing closer to Beijing as tensions with the U.S. deepen, says Matthew Lynn in the Telegraph.”
Hmm I wonder if the US blowing up the Nord Stream Pipeline was a step to far….
..still waiting for someone to fully explain why we can’t trade with both countries?
Oh that’s right because America says we can’t…..
Re gingerbread people. I was browsing the Tesco christmas aisle looking for their flavoured Xmas popcorn. Last year they had white chocolate and Baileys coated popcorn, also chocolate orange, both of which appeal to my sweet tooth. Imagine my surprise to find that the former is no longer called white chocolate on the pack, but ‘blonde’ chocolate. I mean, have you ever heard of anything so stupid? Since when has white chocolate been referred to as blonde chocolate? I can tell you – never! (Except of course in the woke world of Tesco management).
I notice that the interior woodwork in many houses is still decorated with blond gloss.
How strange.
There’s a job waiting for you in the marketing department of Farrow & Ball.
Cheers tof
Absolutely bonkers! I remember that Cadbury’s choc advert of the 1970s with Frank Muir and the slogan is very apt ‘everyone’s a fruit and nut case…’ What do they call dark chocolate I wonder? Chestnut?
