Who downticked this? on the daily sceptic? We don’t hide in the shadows on this site!
Seriously! State your grievance or p#×s off!
It’s impossible to engage with them, Dings. We’ve tried before. I get the feeling they’re trying to say something but can’t find the words or maybe think the downturned thumb is there for a fist bump. Who knows the strange machinations of their minds…
I prefer the 77th Brigade to the upticking regulars who are too tight to pay £5/mth
Tightwad trolls, too cowardly to cough up a 5er because they have nothing worthwhile to offer in the way of discussion. Strangely enough though, they just can’t keep away or hide their fascination with this place.. LOL!
Good Morning all
Can you watch Sandi Adams on Bit Chute as she NAILS the position we find ourselves in, during a Glastonbury Town Council Meeting held to discuss 5 minute city’s ! She was on The Delingpod recently detailing the last 15 years or so of her life since she worked on corporate events which amongst other thing brought her into Bill Gate’s periphery ! Her round up is SO Succinct it has given me a restless night ! We rattle away on here talking the talk while she is actually walking the walk which has put paid to her marriage in her quest to be heard & believed . I Believe her but can they be stopped ? Is it too late ? Are we doomed ? HELP !!!… ( or have they over reached )
Yes, already watched it, Freddy. She absolutely nails it to the mast. We’re hoping to get her down here to attend a county council meeting as one of our SitP group knows her personally. We’ve started going to council meetings too – our first one was in our local town last Tuesday – and we asked the questions and saw the process. Next time, in April, we’ll be better prepared.
Whenever there is discussion about five or fifteen minute cities, there is never any discussion about having all of lifes needs within a fifteen minute radius of the citizens. Shops, medical facilites, bars and restaurants, playgrounds etc. in order for it to become less necessary to make the longer journeys. It is all about cameras and barriers and restricting us and preventing us from free movement and therefore denying freedom itself. Still they lap it up like cats on the spilt cream. What is wrong with these people..?
If you’re ‘scum’ your slice of the 15 min city will resemble Soweto. The nice bits of Oxford etc. will be reserved for the nice people who run the council and drink coffee professionally. Home Counties Apardheid: what a great idea!
And with electric cars twok-ing will be a bit tricky too.
“Opposing wind turbines is immoral, claims climate change adviser” The climate change adviser referred to here is Lord Deben but he is also know as John Gummer, previously a minister in the Tory government of the 1990s. This man has no right to speak of morals. He famously fed his 4 year old daughter a beef burger during the BSE ‘crisis’ using her as a PR weapon. He also claimed a whopping £36,000 for gardening expenses back in the day and was ordered to pay back £20,000 of it. That’s tax payer money. And he heads up the UK Climate Change Committee (UKCCC) that advises the government on climate change decisions but has faced questions about his private business (a climate change consultancy) profiting from the so called Climate Emergency. Most of us here will agree there is no climate emergency. It’s a money making scam with the aim to control and surveil the population. The UKCCC models disaster scenarios that are then fed into the policy making machine to be ground up and spat out as insane policies such as covering the UK with unrecyclable wind turbines to reach their equally insane Net Zero targets.
Among the UKCCC’s most insane recommendations are a 50% reduction in meat and dairy consumption and a 15% cut in air passenger levels plus a widespread acceptance of heat pumps. Meanwhile, John Gummer says that people should just accept the proliferation of wind farms in their backyards, especially if they agree that they should be built. He, of course, lives in sleepy Suffolk which, due to having virtually no high elevations other than this man’s self-regard, is probably not going to be the county of choice for wind farm developers. These sleazy politicians like Gummer and Blair continue, long after their shelf life has expired, to infect our public life and until we get rid of their ilk, our country will be the worse for it.
As an addendum, I’d like John Gummer (Lord Deben) to look at this and tell me the same thing…”Eminent Oxford Scientist Says Wind Power “Fails on Every Count” – a DS article above. It begins:
“It could be argued that the basic arithmetic showing wind power is an economic and societal disaster in the making should be clear to a bright primary school child. Now the Oxford University mathematician and physicist, researcher at CERN and Fellow of Keble College, Emeritus Professor Wade Allison has done the sums. The U.K. is facing the likelihood of a failure in the electricity supply, he concludes. “Wind power fails on every count,” he says, adding that governments are ignoring “overwhelming evidence” of the inadequacies of wind power, “and resorting to bluster rather than reasoned analysis”.”
The UKCCC are unfit for purpose. I suggest an investigation into the supply of wind turbine technologies, the local council agreements for land use, maybe even the landowner’s dealings with council etc. At some level, we might find a combination of gross ignorance, corruption of process, money changing hands etc, all based on bad science to create the illusion that we are rocketing down the road to the fantasy uplands of Net Zero where unicorns will prance about in green nitrogen-free meadows while transvestites play lyres and sing to children under slightly darkened skies, from massive mirrors suspended in space blocking out the sun. This must not, can’t be allowed to happen. If you can or are able to please approach your local councils and target their full meetings and present them with this nonsense in as civil and courteous way as possible. We will play them at their own game and expose this for what it is.
The enchanting vision of transvestites playing lyres to children (perhaps enjoying a John Gummer ersatz beef burger) reminded me of the rather fey Eloi in H. G. Wells Time Machine. (HGW’s Time Machine seems to have calibration problems and got us here much sooner than expected).
I suppose I’ll be working below as one of the Morlocks, running on treadmills to produce miniscule amounts of electricity to run their Drag Queen Story Hour speakers.
The future’s bright, the future’s Fabian.
OP Pie, you’re definitely not going to be a Morlock…you’ll be up above in the fresh free air with the rest of us, basking under a hot sun sitting in a blue sky with no hint of a chemtrail.
Good piece from our Andrew B, though somebody in the comments is calling him out for the Covidian pro-lockdowner he was at the start;
”Three years on and our executive have tasted the unfettered power that a pandemic can give them. They know a public cowed by fear, governed by kneejerk laws, legislation pushed through without debate and virtually on the nod, is a pliant one.
They have experienced what it is like when neighbours turn on each other for perceived minor infractions of draconian rules and how quickly – with the right propaganda – community spirit turns into twitching curtains. If you are a minister, such subservience can quickly become addictive.
Three years is a long time and the simple truth is that, like George Lucas’ Galactic Empire, the Government has learnt there is no better tool for ensuring compliance than instilling fear.”

There are always going to be people who can never see the value in someone who was unaware (asleep?) and then woke up to the truth. These people see shadows everywhere and controlled opposition too.
Big shout out for Andrew Bridgen though, another true hero of our times.
Yes totally. My line in the sand though is people like Piers Morgan. People who went out of their way to amplify the hate speech/disinformation, sow division and encourage the stigmatization and ‘othering’ of those who made different choices surrounding their bodily autonomy, or even questioned, quite rightly and intelligently, the authoritarian restrictions the government was imposing. These individuals aren’t allowed to do a U-turn, in my book, and expect to be forgiven and all will be well. People suffered because of their disgusting attitudes and behaviour. Stuff like that is just pure nastiness at the end of the day and extremely dangerous when that person has a large following of malleable muppets to influence.
Spot on, Mogwai – and the utter lack of humility makes him even more unforgiveable. Bullying arrogance is bad enough when you are right, but when you are wrong and serious adverse health consequences for others flow from your wrongness, it is utterly shameful.
…utterly evil.
Agree, Mogs. There are plenty of these types who sense the winds of change blowing through and bend with it to accommodate it. They are able to occupy the positions they do in the media, politics etc because of this ability. Andrew Bridgen came to the truth through his constituents and not through the wish to appear to be on the right side of history.
..and the thing is, come the next plandemic Billy boy and his puppets organise, you know damn well that the Morgans of the world will be back on the same fearful hysteria bandwagon and saying the same hate-filled cr*p they did last time. Never forgive, never forget.
Yes. I’m afraid he’s wriggling on a hook of his own making. Repulsive moral vacuum.
The difference between Andrew Bridgen & others who have suddenly woken up is that he has apologised for getting it wrong & truly regrets the actions that he took.
The like of Piers Morgan apologise? Hell would freeze over before they even considered it.
Thanks for this. It would be good to see an article by Andrew Bridgen published by the Daily Sceptic.
With the irrefutable evidence that the gene therapies are contaminated, as per Kevin McKernon’s recent discovery ( whose research is replicable for other scientists to check themselves ), will this be the final straw in getting these products recalled? In a sane and normal world that would be what would happen.
”This DNA contamination is significant because it ultimately pushes the COVID vaccines into the “Out of Specs” category.
This is a PRODUCT RECALL situation.
Independent labs can now replicate the findings (with hard evidence) easily. We are not discussing an insignificant “out of specs” situation here. Trillions of DNA molecules that can potentially integrate into the human genome are not insignificant.
Governments and Pfizer need to recall the product voluntarily now. Otherwise, it is just plain criminal negligence. If something like this happened pre-covid, the vaccine would have been recalled immediately.
But I won’t be surprised if governments double down since they are already in deep shit after injecting millions of citizens with a potentially harmful DNA-altering product.”

“Otherwise, it is just plain criminal negligence.”
It’s either criminal negligence or criminal intent – I guess they might plead the former, since it is marginally less evil (I guess).
We’ve got to deal with the global threat of Night Nurse first. I think priorities are very important here.
Dear June Raine – I hope you’re going to ban Fisherman’s Friends very soon. They’re quite strong. I know you’re busy ignoring every safety signal from the covid jabs but these cough sweets are really can make your eyes water.
FFS – don’t give them any more ideas!!!!!
Well, in the 6 weeks that this has been circulating pretty widely in the alternative science scene, there’s been nothing but a deafening silence from TPTB and MSM’s The Narrative™ so no, I can’t see it being pulled any time soon. Next

Yeah, thought as much. The evil b’stards are untouchable and the law to them is like water off a duck’s back, totally impervious.
Ford is losing billions in its electric car division!
The horse has been dead since before all this ev nonsense started!, for pity’s sake, stop keep flogging it!
(The living horse was more reliable in the first place!)
There will be a day, when we have cheap and abundant electricity from Fusion Reactors, and cars can be recharged by driving over lanes in the road with proximity charging, to replenish their batteries made from simple materials we don’t need to dig out of the unyielding earth. We’re 100 years away, probably. Forcing the market with subsidies is just utterly stupid. Let the market decide when the technology is ready, as they will. I named electric cars as the Betamax of transport some time ago. A good idea that is before its time, and which can’t compete with the other technology on offer and becomes a forgotten dead end..
EVs originally died off as the ICE became dominant at the turn of the 20th century The idiots do not learn !!!.
The Government has responded to the petition calling for a public inquiry into OFCOM’s guidance on broadcast standards during COVID: There’s not going to be one:-
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/633007?reveal_response=yes
It’s a pitiful reply. They’re independent and they only act within the framework laid down. Ok. I’ll take your word for it. Thanks UK gov.
Also, we’ve got an inquiry coming in the next 7 years for convid so it’s kind of covered.

“The Europeans will look elsewhere when the bills have to be paid. Boris has hitched his wagon to Ukraine, so maybe he can come up with some cash from his books and speeches to upgrade Ukraine from a totally bankrupt and ruined nation.
Let’s face it, hypocrisy rules. Saudi crimes in Yemen are okay because Newcastle is playing well and could end up in the top four. Qatar persecutes gays and lesbians but owns most of London, so that’s fine. Netanyahu will most likely bomb Iran before the summer, but calling him a warmonger is anti-Semitic. The ICC has declared Putin a war criminal, but Russia is neither the Sudan, nor Libya, which makes the ICC commensurate to the mouse that roared. Last but not least, why should anyone believe anything the government tells us after the Covid fiasco? Ukraine and Russia have to sit down and talk, otherwise there will be no more weapons and moola.”
..of course it can only end in two ways…all out war with NATO or they have to make a deal……and those were the facts from the beginning……
…..without assistance Ukraine could never hope to defeat a country that has nuclear weapons…but that’s just a fact, and I’ve come to the conclusion people prefer a nice comforting story to facts….in just about everything..
The western MSM just blithely go on ignoring the global importance of China’s brokering the rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the Russian proposals to bring a similar agreement between Turkey and Syria… and Syria being ‘welcomed back into the Arab world’ with Assad’s visit to the UAE…..
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also intends to suggest establishing a “peace club” –together with China – to end the war in Ukraine ….he said that he wants to create a group of countries that would conduct peace negotiations with Ukraine and Russia to end the war.
“I propose to create a group of countries that will try to sit down at the negotiating table with Ukraine and Russia to try to find peace,”
Wouldn’t that be something…..
The DT vaccine injury story is a modified limited hang out. Its story is the lack of bureaucratic resource to process the injury claims, not that the covid vaccine program probably amounts to the worst medical scandal in history.
Anyway after about 1,000 comments, almost all from vaccine critics and vaccine injured, the DT has disappeared the comments. What an abject organ the Telegraph has become!
Indeed. One wonders how people like Pearson allow themselves to be dangled as the tiny tiny bauble of hope in such a controlled, mendacious rag.
This is the reason for partygate, twitter lockdown leaks. Becoming self sufficient, buying organic fruit & vegetables, supporting rare breed farmers & organic meat farmers.
Control the water, the food supply & you control the population. I’m getting the feeling that the government is laying siege to each & every one of us, starving us into submission.
From Lawyers of Light
Look what’s slipped into legislation without much of a whisper, (to the public), on 23rd March. The Genetic Technology Act.
“The Act sets in motion changes to allow farmers to grow crops which are drought and disease resistant and help breed animals that are protected from catching harmful diseases”.
Precision breeding involves using technologies such as gene editing to adapt the genetic code of organisms – creating traits in plants and animals that through traditional, breeding would take decades to achieve. This enables scientists to create foods that are more flexible and adaptable https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f92e.svg
Genome editing is a group of techniques that enable changes to an organism’s DNA, and the RSPCA have warned that editing an animal’s genome involves procedures that could cause “pain, suffering, distress and lasting harm”.
Gene editing was previously subject to the strict rules and regulations that control genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but under this new law gene-edited animals and food will not be classed in England as GMOs and will not need to be labelled as such.
Please note, this is CRISPR technology https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f631.svg
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/6/contents/enacted
A ghastly prospect vastly compounded by the fact that these hubristic scientists don’t really have a clue what they’re doing as far as I can see. Much of this Disney science is like the excellent book on vaccines: Turtles All the Way Down. It’s Strangelove stuff and Artsy graduates are legislating on it.
Frightening. I guess I hope to be dead and gone by the time the Dustbowl results really start to bite.
Messing with Mother Nature never ends well. So the $cientists now believe they are Gods.
I see.
Re the vaccine injury story in the Telegraph…they haven’t just closed the comments section, it’s gone altogether!!
just went back to have a look and it’s gone….
Too many people discussing injuries…no doubt….?
Is the truth beginning to hurt?
..I’d put a few comments on……so I’m gutted I wasted my time….LOL!
In reference to the story about India’s lost lockdown generation…there’s this article and film….
https://collateralglobal.org/article/the-children-of-nowhere/
which expands on Purohits theme….
“This film, by Kunal Purohit and Abeer Khan for Collateral Global, cuts to the heart of CG’s research agenda: understanding the enormity of the harms which lockdowns brought about among vulnerable populations in the Global South.
The education loss among poor kids in Low- and Middle-Income Countries has been nothing less than devastating, as Purohit and Khan’s film shows in gut-wrenching detail. Children who were learning and had a sense of a positive future were ripped out of education permanently and thrown into lives of hard labour with no sense of a more optimistic vision for their futures. Cases of child marriage soared, as parents found themselves without work or food and with a sense that they needed to marry off their adolescent girls before the costs became impossible. In sum, so many hundreds of millions of lives were shredded.
The data on this in India is despairing, adding context to the human stories which leap out of this film. Schools in India closed for almost 2 years, and yet only 8% of rural children in India were able to attend online classes, and 37% did not attend any classes at all. The reasons for this were made abundantly clear in the film: rural kids simply did not have the technology, the phones, and the money to buy enough data to make online study at all plausible as an outcome.
India’s is a disturbing story, but it is made all the more alarming when we realise that it is not alone. Schools closed for 2 years also in Honduras and Uganda. In Honduras, it’s estimate that the impacts set back education at least 5 years. In Uganda, 20% of schoolchildren never returned, meaning that an estimated 4.5 million schoolchildren were lost to education altogether. On the other hand, there were large rises in teenage pregnancies – effectively, young women were taken out of education and a sense of different potentials for their lives for good.”
This ‘pandemic’ has been devastating for children everywhere and my blood boils when I see the instigators walking around suffering zero consequences……
Thanks ebg. Very sad.
Sorry, but loving this trolling from Iran….well what’s good for the goose??
Iran Foreign Minister , Hossein Amir-Abdollahian: “We strongly condemn the crackdown on peaceful protesters in France. We call on the French govt to respect human rights and avoid resorting to force against the people of France who are peacefully pursuing their demands.”
