We have a few stone heads questioning the validity of these Scottish stats
The data comes from the Scottish Government’s official statistics agency. Irrefutable source
In the working age population (20-65) just 1,754 Covid deaths were recorded…only 287 solely from Covid….

If God made anything more lovely than a woman, he must have kept it for himself!
I take it that the downticker is more lovely than anything ever created?!!
The Miller Lite thingy ! It’s a Spoof surely ?
Who could have seen what happened at BudLight and thought, ‘Yes, thats what we’ll do. Tell them what to think and show them our higher moral standards…’
Energy bills will fall in six weeks, Shapps predicts”
It didn’t take them six weeks to put prices up…
Wholesale gas prices fall in mid-summer? Next he’ll be telling us that bears defecate in the woods!
Up like a rocket, down like a feather!
“Now Keir Starmer warns Londoners they risk lung cancer unless they accept Sadiq Khan’s hated ULEZ expansion”
This is a disgusting line for Starmer to take. First we were killing Grandma, now each other from driving those horrible vans and trucks that make modern life possible. Shame on him, and shame on his kind. These ‘bstards wont be happy till we’re taxed for breathing…
If the levels recently tested at street level are carcinogenic (evidence?) the levels in tube concourses, platforms snd in the tube trains. These latter measurements were three, four and ten times the recommended maximum.
As the political class bends the knee to WHO one wonders why they allow anyone to travel on Khan’s tube system. How long before we can join class actions against TfL and force it into bankruptcy.
Not sure what happened to my subsequent edit. I was referring to particulates and emphasised how much more serious the effects must be inside the tube system.
Why have Miller decided to join those who wish to create division? sure turn girly pictures into compost, good for them, but use it to promote beer sales to what is largely a male based consumer!, and why discriminate in favour of one type of picture? if its about creating compost why not just ask for people to donate all pictures they dont want so that the brewer can be really virtuous by becoming a compost maker. But its not about producing compost, its not even about selling beer, its about causing division between men and women,
“Farewell questions for Rochelle Walensky”
Interesting to see that El Gato Malo has had to drop the ridiculous none use of capital letters in order to be published in Brownstone.
Bloody poseur.
interesting article in Zero Hedge by Colleen Huber (via the Epoch Times, which is behind a paywall) luckily this is not….
Colossal Failure Around The World
Let’s summarise what we now know of the negative efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines, and why vaccinated people—not the unvaxxed—suffer frequent bouts of COVID-19.
The COVID-19 vaccines—and the new bivalents, of which they are a part—are alarmingly and irredeemably unsafe, as well as ineffective for the advertised purposes. It is increasingly recognized by laypeople, physicians, and scientists throughout the world that the COVID-19 vaccines are neither safe, nor effective, nor reversible.
In this article, I show irrefutable proof that the COVID-19 vaccines are irredeemably ineffective. (See many dozens of my other Substack articles, and my book, “Neither Safe Nor Effective,” on how dangerous these vaccines are.)

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/energy-bills-will-fall-in-six-weeks-shapps-predicts-qmd6pfn5b
Except that fuel bills will NOT return to “normal” levels because they are always going to be artificially high as long as the billions in subsidies continue to be paid over to those running the ‘unreliables’ scam.
Schapps just wants to be seen in the MSM. When his prediction does not come about he will have a second chance when, as a modern Conservative, he will demand price and profits caps on the energy companies.
Sweden win eurovision!
Eagle eyed viewers noticed Loreen was still wearing her performance microphone as if she knew she would need it again! The only one to “forget” she had it on! Double micking isn’t a done thing!
Why would it be fixed for Sweden to win?
Goodness only knows!
(ABBA announce they will reform to sing Waterloo at the opening of eurovision 2024 if Sweden win!)
I am moving house next month into a new build. As some of you may recall the Government made it mandatory for all new builds to come with a wallbox for charging EV’s. So I asked the agent what the spec was, thinking that they come as either 7kw or 3.5kw.
It turns out it’s 2kw, so basically a three pin plug but mounted on the wall. So to charge a mid-sized EV from 20 to 80% you are looking at ~15hrs and a full charge 24hrs+. What a pointless waste of time!
Not that I was thinking of getting one mind you> My employer does have a leasing scheme and they even give you £1,500 towards your leccy but even with that I wouldn’t have one.
Wow, we all live and learn thanks to people like you and this platform!
I’m hoping my wallbox has a nice flat top so maybe I can turn it into a flower pot or something useful.
On a serious note it’s typical Government meddling. They mandate something without properly considering what kind of specification is needed to actually make it useful (generation 1 smart meters anyone!). So obviously most housebuilders will do the bare minimum.
Hard for them to mandate dockets which the local mains supply won’t support.
“My employer does have a leasing scheme and they even give you £1,500 towards your leccy but even with that I wouldn’t have one.”
We were offered that. It costs the employer nothing – paid for by HMG i.e. taxpayers. A subsidy for people rich enough to afford new electric cars.
“Scots back nuclear power to help meet Net Zero targets”
Such things cost billions! How is Scotland going to pay for this? Oh yes, Britain
!
England!
Morning all…been away so sorry if I missed this and it’s a repeat…
Interesting article I think, because the Spectator, more often than not, usually aligns with the Government’s current ‘war propaganda’…so unusual to step away from the mainstream?

Why the economic war against Russia has failed
The BBC are inviting people too ill to work to contact them with their stories. I wonder whether they will be contacted by people unable to work because they have been injured by the COVID ‘vaccine’?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65596283
At least they acknowledge damaging effects resulting from lockdowns might be a contributory factor.
Just the BBC pursuing their socialist agenda.
‘Why are we in Ukraine?’
We are not in Ukraine.
That is a dreadful article hell bent on further eroding the pitiful conventional deterrence of European countries. I will not call them powers.
In stark clarity, there are more members of NATO now than in 1949 because of the threat.
We know Putin plans to combine Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova in a new ‘Union State’ by 2030.
Looking at a map, it is clear that Russia will then move on the Baltic States to set up a new iron curtain from Kaliningrad to Moldova.
Why, otherwise, would Finland and Sweden give up their longstanding neutrality?
To suggest that that is ‘NATO expansionism’ is worse than silly. It is plain idiocy.
Why is Poland spending billions on 1250 modern main battle tanks?
Hands up the clever clogs who thinks Poland is going to march on Moscow?

Fraser Myers is still digging. He’s going to regret taking on Andrew Bridgen.
Go on Myers you dim-witted bully. Marvellous.
….and the crazy continues…?? What the hell are they testing a perfectly fit person for..and when he was winning?
https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/remco-evenepoel-out-of-giro-ditalia-following-positive-covid-test
Remco Evenepoel has left the Giro d’Italia following a positive Covid test on Sunday evening. The Soudal Quick-Step rider was in the pink jersey after Sunday’s stage nine time trial, but will now be replaced by Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), who is now in the virtual race lead.
The world champion regained the maglia rosa after winning the race against the clock in Cessna on Sunday by one second over Thomas, but that is immaterial now, after he tested positive for Covid later that evening.
He tested positive for the virus in a test which was taken by the team, not mandated by the race organisers
Apparently w.h.o are now our new gods and Gabreyeysus is our new dictator General!
