Dr Fauci is not concerned. He has his 5 million dollar advance for a book in the exiting new fiction genre of “bureaucratic thriller”. I’m guessing the publisher required the government to buy copies for the entire army of ‘health bureaucrats’ in order to get it onto the best-seller charts.

“Just Stop Oil protest ruined by hero cyclist snatching banner in epic video” The video has been disabled so I can’t see it but what I’ve said before is that this is the first protest group who have expensive banners and high vis jackets provided for them. They are well funded by someone or some entity. In my day, it was all home-made banners on pieces of cardboard and acts of creation with words and paints. These people do not come across as genuine in that respect. It is an organised cult and now, surprise, surprise, they’ve joined forces with XR. They always were part of XR. It’s the same thing. Now they’re not just protesting about oil etc, they’ve moved onto migrants: No person is illegal, they say. And the police do nothing. They allow these people to block the roads and stop the traffic. Again. And woe betide you try and move them, that’s a criminal assault! I watched a brief segment on Katie Hopkins – (who knew that I would find common ground with her but I do and actually I like her spirit!) – YouTube channel interviewing a JSO spokeswoman, Phoebe, who has never had to work for a living, never had to scrimp and save for the money to pay bills but who deigns to lecture us about our lives, who engages in anti-social activities that are just ruinous such as throwing baked beans at a Van Gogh painting or orange dust at the snooker championships. KH gave her both barrels and this idiot just parroted the usual bunch of nonsense. Let’s be perfectly honest, these are the shocktroops of the Great Reset. To paraphrase that other bought-and-paid-for eco-loon St Greta of No Responsible Job yet: ‘How dare they!’

I saw the video but there’s nothing to actually see. His camera must be on his back/back of his helmet, so you don’t see him take the banner, you just see protesters as he passes by. Shame. But I agree with your point. I’d never really thought about it before. Yes, the Covid restriction protesters all had banners made out of cardboard but these guys look fully and professionally kitted out. No D.I.Y cereal box placards for them!

Remember though, the majority (if not all) of them are white privileged middle to upper class well off virtue signallers! They can comfortably afford to club together and pay for professional printing

Dinger, somewhere at the back of the money trail funding these idiots will be George Soros or his equivalent. These children are not funding themselves.

Aileen Getty & other billionaire philanthropaths have been funding XR and other eco-nutter groups for years through the spurious Climate Emergency Fund (CEF). One of many stories here, heaps more on the inter web:

Well, despite having zero expertise in this arena, I agree with Dr Nass that this has ‘disaster’ written all over it. More on the mini-vaccine factories BioNTech are sending to Africa;

”The BioNTech mobile vaccine lab requires 12 containers to create two buildings, each 2-story, each created from 6 containers. One produces the mRNA and the other produces the ‘serum’ or liquid the mRNA is mixed with. I had guessed that these ingredients would be shipped from Europe but that is not the plan. Apparently the mRNA will be produced locally.
BioNTech will supply their own technicians to operate these labs while training African staff. The plan is to have the factories ready to produce by some time in 2024. This is a very compressed time frame; in the US every part of the project would have to be tested repeatedly, and it often takes years to get a vaccine factory up and running. It could be done quicker if the standards are lowered.”

“Just stop oil”- banners and the inks used to print them, their shoes, backpacks,clothing, cars, homes even the asphalt that they are blocking and many many more day to day items all use fossil fuel derivatives in their production!
They are the biggest of Hypocrites known to humanity!

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/more-vaccines-and-fake-meat-to-appease-the-biotech-monster/

A short but disturbing read concerning fake foods. Sadly the normally reliable Guy Hatchard ends with this excuse for the criminals:

“A form of madness has gripped our politicians as they rush ahead without bothering to inform themselves of potential dire consequences.”

The politicians know exactly what they are doing and know the outcomes will be death and misery. They couldn’t care less.

No paywall.

This is a serious shot in the foot by those running the Tory party and shows just who is buttering their bread.

Salute, Mr Bridgen,

Best wishes.
