News Round-Up

  • “Covid’s cancelling Christmas… again! Top experts predict at least 1.5 million will be infected on Xmas day as health bosses ‘urge the ill to celebrate alone’ – and frustrated Brits are already ditching their festive plans” – U.K. Health Security Agency bosses urged anyone ‘feeling unwell’ to avoid loved ones this weekend, with frustrated people venting their fury after testing positive in the days before festivities, the Mail reports.
  • “NHS bosses come under fire for spending millions on ‘woke non-jobs’ as frontline workers strike for better pay’” – More than £1 million worth of ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ related positions are on offer in hospitals and trusts across England and Wales, with most salaries dwarfing that of the average nurse, the Mail reports.
  • “NHS thinks £115,000 Director of Lived Experience is worth three nurses” – Leo McKinstry writes in the Mail that “in effect, the ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ managers form a new priesthood, spreading a perverse gospel”.
  • “250 million people in China infected in 20 days, officials estimate” – The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention believes 18% of the population have been infected, including half of Beijing, after the Government U-turned on its controversial Zero Covid policy last month, reports the Mail.
  • “How SAGE almost stole Christmas” – This time last year, scientific experts were baying to put us in lockdown, Christopher Snowdon reminds us in Spiked.
  • “Dr. Byram Bridle vs University of Guelph” – Read the vaccinologist’s lawsuit against his employer.
  • “False Profits” – “Adopting multiple alternative ways to trade will ensure that by the time governments bring in CBDCs, not only will we have choices, they will already be up and running,” writes Suzie Halewood in OffGuardian.
  • “New Zealand Documentary Memorial Day (Silent No More NZ)” – Watch the new New Zealand documentary telling the stories of the vaccine injured and bereaved.
  • “The Media Very Rarely Lies” – Scott Alexander in Astral Codex Ten makes the case against ‘fact checkers’ and censorship of ‘misinformation’.
  • “Japan Embraces Nuclear Power, Cancels Phase Out Plans” – Japan has adopted a new policy promoting greater use of nuclear energy to ensure a stable power supply, in a major reversal of its phase-out plan following the Fukushima crisis, WUWT reports.
  • “The woman who could cancel Net Zero” – Iain Hunter in TCW on Professor Valentina Zharkova of the University of Northumbria, who is predicting a cooling climate in the coming years owing to the changing influence of the Sun.
  • “Teacher jailed in row over use of pronouns for transgender student is released” – The judge accused Enoch Burke of “exploiting his imprisonment for his own ends” after it turned him into a “household name”, according to the Telegraph – which is a bit rich, given it was the Irish state which chose to jail him for using biologically correct pronouns.
  • “The Sun newspaper ‘sincerely sorry’ over Jeremy Clarkson’s Duchess of Sussex column” – The Sun has capitulated and said it regrets the publication of the column and is “sincerely sorry”, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Christianity’s retreat has left the West vulnerable to harmful new beliefs” – Our societies are in a severe muddle, which makes for fertile ground for woke zealotry, writes Charles Moore in the Telegraph.
  • “Student who lost court fight against university that investigated her for saying ‘women have vaginas’ in trans seminar launches crowdfunder to pay for appeal” – Lisa Keogh took Abertay University to court after she was investigated for saying “women have vaginas” during an online seminar on transgender issues and is now crowdfunding for her appeal, reports the Mail.
  • “Joe Lycett and the trouble with wokescreening” – Julie Burchill in the Spectator highlights the numerous misdemeanours and hypocrisies of the self-righteous woke set.
  • “Keir Starmer: Pro-trans laws are needed across U.K.” – Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to change the law to allow trans people to self-declare their gender, according to the Telegraph, in the wake of anger over similar moves in Scotland.
  • “Are Holyrood and Westminster heading for another Supreme Court showdown?” – Stephen Daisley in the Spectator argues that politically it would be astute to veto Scotland’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
  • “Why has the Church of England embraced the woke cult? Is there a god-shaped hole now in the Church of England?” – Watch Toby join GB News‘s Andrew Pierce to discuss the Christmas carol God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen being rewritten to be more ‘inclusive’.

Does anyone still listen to people like the totalitarian sounding uk health thingy (and if so more fool them)? And just how badly have people damaged their immunity with excessive sanitising, filthy masks, dangerous experimental medication, believing lies about vitamin D not providing protection against viral infection and all the rest of it?

There are mortgages to pay, and careers to build, so they have to stay relevant and necessary regardless of the truth.

We’re staying with family for Christmas. Half of the group have coughs and colds, the other half have just recovered. No mention of covid. But to be fair other than us they are all young so they probably never cared much. Due to be with a larger group in a few days’ time, who are sort of lapsed covidians I think, will be interesting to see if anything is said Last year people we know and parties we were invited to were asking people to test themselves, this year nothing.

I tested negative but I’m still ill, although on the mend.

When will these idiots spare us their drivelling output of the bl*****g obvious?

Relatives put off, although they also have a cancer sufferer to visit so didn’t want to risk it.

Looking forward to coughing and spluttering through next couple of days with OH, picking our way through chocs and alcohol and a frozen pheasant.
Just a couple of carol services to play organ for then putting feet up.
Will do turkey next week.

Merry Christmas folks! There’s not a fat lot we can do about the corruption and lies of our leaders so let’s relax for a few days (but keeping a beady eye on the swine lest they try and slip something past us as we are distracted).

Blimey, the “fact-checkers” are not going to restrict themselves to pointing out actual lies, it’d ruin their whole business model.

“Keir Starmer: Pro-trans laws are needed across U.K.”

No they aren’t. Unless, you also have a law that says if someone is confused about their identity, and believes that they are, say Napoleon, you put on a big parade for them and let them wear a big hat.

Pro-common sense laws are urgently needed across the U.K. Better still, across the world.

My father used to say ‘there’s nothing so rare as common sense’.

The problem is when you believe this crap it is ‘common-sense’ to you.

Didn’t trickyricky Sunak – the spirit of Christmas 2021 – claim it was down to him rushing back from overseas that another lockdown was averted at the last minute?

Listening to and watching the NZ nag – her of the infamous teeth – saying in the documentary:

“git viccinated” and “saafe in iffictive” made my blood boil. I truly despise her!

As an aside, I read an article a couple of hours ago that upset me. I wept. I’m always more emotional on Christmas Eve as my beloved dog unexpectedly died, late on Christmas Eve 9 years ago and I still miss him. A little cantankerous cairn terrier – a bit like me, I suppose – isn’t it said dog personalities reflect their owners? My little pal gave love on his terms and treated me with equal measure of love and disdain, frustrating at times but we understood each other. I miss him a lot and even though I have another little pal – a rescue from overseas who is so gentle and loving, my feisty cairn has a special place in my heart.

Back to the linked article below which made me think – what about the animals? Those poor, defenceless creatures caught up in the pharma scams, maimed and killed. The article focuses on zoos and the covid jabs. No consent or choice afforded to the animals.

That was a very moving documentary – thanks for posting.

Amongst some very stiff opposition, I think the most evil and fascistic of the western leaders over the last 3 years have been Trudeau and Ardern. They both just ooze malevolence.

I must admit I’m now very wary of vets and think we shouldn’t be vaccinating the cats and dog. This would be a step to far for the wife having not gone down the vaccine rabbit hole.

The real take down of the “vaccine” business. Wait for your jaw to drop.

Again, posting something that doesn’t have a place…. well, it does have an incredibly important place and maybe there’s no better place to post it.

Happy Xmas to everyone on here. We don’t always agree and sometimes things can blow up in way that would never happen if we were to meet in person – that’s the nature of faceless communication. I want to thank everyone on here for keeping me sane, and for all the incredibly insightful and intelligent posts that help me make sense of all the sh*t we’re wading through.

We are the line that held through the most unimaginable propaganda, pressure, coercion and hatred. We didn’t bend, we didn’t fall. Stand proud, you passed the most significant test of your character you will ever face, one of the biggest tests of character in history; a test most people failed. Whatever happens from now, you’ll have that knowledge until the day you die. Maybe beyond.

So I’m a bit late to the feast today but I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I don’t really have anything much to say that I haven’t already said. Looking at all the links above, I don’t see too much different to any other day of the week over the past few years. Men now have vaginas and women have balls, black is white, euthanasia is the new vaccine, we’re busily being merrily stripped of our hard won freedoms and rights, cash is going, democracy never existed, no one walked on the moon, 9/11 was an inside job, JFK was assassinated by his own secret service, 5G is coming, digital IDs are also on the way, immigration is haemorrhaging….they are coming for us all, one way or another, they want to restrict you, take your money, impoverish you, take your home, your children, your health, and your life. Before that, they wish to limit your food to what they want to allow you to eat, and weaken your immune system with their death shots and their GMOs and all the other shit they provide and enslave you to a system that is utterly corrupt and insane. Nothing they do or say inspires or nurtures you. They have no vision, no imagination, and no joy. They are parasites and like parasites they will eventually fall off the host body and shrivel up and die. They have nothing to offer us, humanity or the world. This is the daily reality that we, the red pilled, have to deal with every day. It’s not without effects on one’s mental and emotional state but we have remained true and unwavering. I salute all of you for the info, the wit, the humour, and the comradeship. We will prevail.
Happy Crimbles!
