by Nick Dixon

  • “Universities can cancel your degree for wrongthink – and there’s no real right to appeal” – The Government’s free speech reforms may let students sue – but they will be no use to those who don’t have the money to do so, writes Juliet Samuel in the Telegraph.
  • “Tavistock scandal ‘on a par with East German doping of athletes’” – More than 1,000 children were referred for puberty blockers at an experimental gender clinic where concerns were ignored to preserve a “gold dust” NHS contract, the Times reports.

  • “Insolent, unproductive and dominated by HR, the Civil Service thinks it rules Britain” – The only solution to ‘The Blob’ is a serious reduction in numbers, releasing bureaucrats to the private sector, writes Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “Sturgeon is imploding – as is her extreme agenda” – Scotland’s First Minister has surely opened people’s eyes to the absurdity of gender ideology, writes Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “Fake trans applicants ‘could trick universities’” – Transgender applicants are being offered “ethically dubious” preferential access to a university, raising fears that fraudsters could game the system to get ahead of straight-A pupils, the Times reports.
  • “The slow creep of ugliness into the language of public debate is impossible to ignore” – we have grown accustomed to the knee-jerk application of lazy slurs and the smearing of reputations, says Neil Oliver.
  • “Dr. Robert Malone stars in a rap video” – watch Dr. Malone and other sceptics of the Covid narrative in this frankly excellent rap video.

Whoever made this is a genius 👏

“Grant Shapps faces Tory mutiny over hydrogen levy plans”

Not put off by the billions wasted on badly thought out plans to counter the thing that isn’t happening, we’re going to double down, again..?

‘Release them back to the private sector’.? They wouldn’t last a morning in the private sector.

“They wouldn’t last a morning in the private sector.”

Absolutely correct. The senior civil servants I came across when I worked amongst them were thick, arrogant beyond belief, clueless job-wise and masters at ducking and diving. Of the scores I cam across only two would have stood a chance working in the private sector.

Igor has made an interesting discovery using UK data regarding a significant increase in hospitalizations 6 months post Covid booster;

”The most important fact we see is that for people over 50, the most dangerous period after vaccination is between 6 and 9 months after their last dose. Their risk of hospitalization is several times higher than before six months or after nine months. The increase in risk far outweighs a small reduction in the first six months.
So, people who take a Covid booster first go through a somewhat reduced hospitalization risk for the first six months, then go through a dramatically heightened risk of hospitalization, then hospitalization rates “return to normal,” with the normal being very high. Does that look like the vaccine provides any benefit? Not to me!”

Just a thought on ULEZ:

Are these prisons being built in preparation for Billy’s next release?

“Catastrophic Contagion” is apparently going to be the big one. How much more effective and targeted would it be if people were closely confined in 15 minute cities?

Excellent point Hux, ref the LTNs especially, something I’ve been ruminating on too.

I also wondered about the power supply required by all that additional surveillance: the local town is just finishing off it’s 2nd ‘smart junction’ and about to start a 3rd, the multiple cameras of which are all cabled. As are the many additional street cameras installed during the lockdowns – all while we’re being told to freeze to death in the dark at home. How’s that supposed to meet Net Zero then?

“I also wondered about the power supply required by all that additional surveillance”

This is where the £37 billion on Track and Trace went, something I have mentioned numerous times – smart junctions, smart cameras. T and T was never just about a bloody app.

This simulation was in Italy in 2021. There’s probably plenty more that we’re not even aware of. Obsessive b’stards! 😮

“Fake trans applicants ‘could trick universities’” 

But but but aren’t straight A pupils – whatever their race, creed or colour – simply a result of white privilege? It’s only your pronouns that count these days…..

I was appalled to learn that the Guardian loons had accused Neil Oliver of antisemitism. To accuse someone of antisematism because they talk about global elites and their out in the open conspiracies is disgusting.
Made me feel quite sick

Interesting take by Craig Murray on the Sy Hersh story. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/02/sy-hersh-and-the-way-we-live-now/
“… But what most worries me about the entire story is the unanimous complicity of the mainstream media in ignoring the completely obvious.

The media line, parroted here relentlessly by the BBC and corporate media, was that the Russians had probably themselves blown up the pipeline on which they had expended such great resources and three decades of intense diplomatic activity, and which was to be the key to Russia’s single most valuable source of income for the next 40 years.

This was always quite literally incredible. You would have to be deranged to believe it.

It actually taught me not just that we truly are in the realm of totalitarianism and the Big Lie, but I learnt something very important about how the Big Lie works.

The secret is not that people genuinely believe an outrageous claim. The secret is that people do genuinely believe that they are in a battle of good against evil, and it is necessary to accept the narrative being promoted, in the interests of fighting evil.

Don’t question, just follow. If you do question, you are promoting evil.

I am sure that is how it works.

State and corporate stenographer journalists are actually intelligent individuals. If they thought about it, they would realise that the narrative that Russia blew up its own pipeline is obvious nonsense.

But they are convinced it is morally wrong to think about it…. ”

There is also the not to be overlooked issue of the No2Nato event on 25.2.in London having to go underground.
That development aloneis actually a confirmation of Peter Hitchens fear already having become reality.
He suggests attending it even if you disagree but are pro free speech.
