The rejection of Bridgen’s Bill to protect children and what Ben Bradshaw said about him and the Bill represents a possible all time low for this country’s Parliament.
Jesus wept! Just read the article. As if we needed further confirmation of just how despicable and warped the people who run the country are or how obvious their agenda ( one of several, evidently ) regarding grooming of kids is. And they have the audacity to use disparaging slurs against Bridgen, the only one seemingly in possession of a social conscience and intact moral compass, who takes the safeguarding of minors seriously. And I include the nasty, defaming author of the article in that assessment.
Did you notice Bradshaw’s deliberate conflation of social transitioning – the verbalisation of a choice of identity – with the actual mental illness of gender dysphoria? THAT’S what’s despicable, not Bridgen’s eminently sensible safeguarding suggestion. All I can say is the gods help us if/when The Blob decide WEF puppets Labour will rule.
Bradshaw can do press ups under snakes, so no surprises at any virtue signalling crap he spouts
Anyone noticed the disgraceful doomism TV advert for EON Energy yet. Burning trees, flooded houses up to their roofs, and other extremely unlikely scenario’s to try and sell their bloody awful heat pumps. I think a viewer complaint is in order…
I have seen similar ads on Youtube either woke or climate alarmism. What I do notice, however, is that many new series are written with overbearing emphasis on the agenda messages. Someone recommended a series called ‘Extrapolations’ – I managed to watch about 5 minutes of this climate alarmism/woke nonsense because it was like being lectured to and sounded completely inauthentic. The acting was also dreadful despite a (so called) stellar cast.
You still have a TV? Scheesh.
My wifes indulgence after a long day at her work. I tend to be listening to podcasts, and reading documents on a wide variety of subjects elsewhere. In fact I think I have done more studying in the last three years than in the rest of my life.
When human biological facts, which are indisputable, are triggering and cause offense you know you’re dealing with seriously deranged individuals. And when the veteran Professor teaching said class is fired as a result you know you’re living in Clown World.
”A veteran biology professor in Texas who has been teaching that sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes for over 20 years was allegedly fired after four students walked out of his classroom.
Dr. Johnson Varkey has claimed he was let go from his teaching position at St. Philip’s College in San Antonio after he was accused of ‘religious preaching’.
He was discussing the human reproductive system on November 28, 2022, when four students stormed out of the lecture.
Varkey was then accused of ‘discriminatory comments about homosexuals and transgender individuals, anti-abortion rhetoric, and misogynistic banter’.
The professor said he received an email from the Alamo Colleges District Human Resources department in January, which said his credentials would be revoked pending an investigation. He was later fired. ”

A brand new, very interesting thread here. And it is indeed down in black and white, Gates saying ”I fund population control”.
”When this story broke today:
‘Malaria cases discovered in Florida and Texas for the first local spread in 20 years’
It just so happens these are the two states that allowed billions of Bill Gates’ funded GMO mosquitos to be released in recent years.
How did we get here?”

“The world’s wokest country is leaving Britain’s economy in the dust”
Amusing read (available on Yahoo News). One suggestion regarding immigration “Canada has embarked on a huge expansion of its population, welcoming half a million newcomers last year, a similar number to the UK on a per capita basis ” – completely forgetting that Canada has 41 TIMES the land mass of the UK, and a population of around 40 million compared to 67 million. Oh, and they have a higher suicide rate and of course the MAID Act, so don’t go stubbing your toe any time soon…
Talking of the MAID Act, Prue Leith is being a useful idiot in fronting a campaign to legalise euthanasia in the UK…. Including a C4 documentary on the issue.

1) Setting up to work from home requires thought and planning. It is not something that should be decided on a whim. However, flexibility of working arrangements is a good thing – eg being able to continue working when your child has a day of school after puking in the night. There are reasons (other than inertia) why office furniture and lighting is the way much of it is. That said, if anyone tried to visit my home office to assess my working environment they would not find me very cooperative – to put it mildly. This is why working from home should only be undertaken by grown ups who have learned to look after themselves and manage their own time and who don’t mind cleaning their own toilet.
Sitting twisted in your seat for hours on end so you can see the telly while on yet another boring Zoom meeting is not good for your back.
2) Heaven forfend that the article author should actually publish references to these nebulous ‘studies’ which ‘suggest’ something or another. However, yes, I’ll well believe that British offices of businesses allow more home working than in other European countries. It shows a lack of discipline in the business management which also impacts on business growth.
We have saved money with a smaller office and part of those savings are available to WFH staff to buy the equipment they feel they need.
If you don’t feel you can treat your staff like grownups maybe you have the wrong recruitment policies.
I don’t see the connection between discipline in business management and the prevalence of WFH. You can manage a business well or badly regardless of where your staff are located, and you should be looking at the issue in the round – costs, productivity, staff retention – with an open mind.
I think it’s possible that physical problems have increased among some who WFH because they are not active enough. I have observed this personally. I find it sad and encourage colleagues to get out and about but they are all adults….

Ah, but are they grownups?
I certainly agree about the recruitment policies.
In a company I worked for we had consultants who would work anywhere – wherever in the world the client wanted. We also had teams of analysts with an annual graduate intake. You could trust the consultants to work anywhere – the analysts less so. All adults, just some not grownups yet.
Yes, all good points
Happy Birthday, NHS?! What warped mind came up with the idea of having young children sing this loveless empty dirge about a broken service that most people know is but a ghost of what it once was? It’s dystopian in the extreme and one step away from children singing happy birthday to any institution of power: ‘We love you Big Brother’ and so on. The same institution that has forgotten what it was set up to do and now, largely, just administers policy such as jabbing and Pride support. Yes, there are aspects of the service still functioning but it’s only a matter of time before it all crumbles away. The children don’t look happy at all.
Alpha males being EXACTLY the type of person you need for lifeboat work, which can be as hazardous a profession as there is.
Absolutely right
As ex Merchant Navy engineer officer, later a leading marine systems company head, I and my company have often donated to RNLI. I wrote to Janet Cooper Acting Chair of Trustees end last year expressing my increasing despair at their…. continuing to support and facilitate the continuing mass illegal immigration into the UK and that their…..support for this is clearly political.
No reply was received.
My stepdaughter, severely infected with the Woke virus during four years at SOAS called me a CIS male. I told her I was not, I am male, and that she had misgendered me.
Shut her up.
Good,
In my book cis and trans were used to differentiate isomers which are identical molecules with different atomic structures and hence slightly different physical properties. Another word that has been hijacked by the ‘abnormal sector’. I keep looking forward to having someone call me a cis-male…..!
And as ex Merchant Navy engineer officer, a fairly high proportion of non-heterosexuals made up the crew/officers who had to work together for up to 11 months at a time, but in my experience everyone just got on reasonbly well.
“misgendered”
Falling for the language of the oppressors. I refuse to use such words.
I think he was just taking the Mickey.
Mind you, I’m not sure he’s allowed to identify as ‘male’. It’s probably not one of the 72+ approved/permitted genders.
+ There may be more for all I know.
Indeed. The word is designed to mislead, to confuse and to destroy a clear idea of reality. A human being at the point of conception and forever more is either male or female. You can mistake a male for a female or vice versa, or you can for whatever reason call them male or female when you know they are the opposite. The first is a simple mistake, the second is a lie.
Wow, this artwork is very impressive;

A really interesting & informative MD4CE meeting yesterday evening with our guest Dr Daniel Estulin talking about the planned collapse of system by the hidden elites or evil cabal. Gave insight into who these evil barstewards are, what is happening with the political economy & that what political economy system will follow is unknown to anyone, those evil elites included.
He joined up so many dots & he is able to give a partial answer to the ‘who are they?’ question.
https://rumble.com/user/cbkovess
Thanks for the link. I’ll listen and compare with Dr Jacob Nordangard’s recent interview with Ivor Cummins.
Completely different to Jacob’s body of work, which is on WEF. Daniel’s is a really long view of the history of these evil elites & shines a different light. Both these men have important but different information to share with us.
Peruse the other recordings – we’ve had both Jacob & Ivor as guests!
Re the NHS 75th birthday on BBC
Utter & total codswallop about how AI is the future of healthcare, how brilliant, how safe, how it means releasing doctors to do other things is downright dangerous in the opinion of a couple of my doctor friends. One was particularly incensed as it removed individuality & compassion from healthcare.
This is brainwashing of the masses to believe that machines are superior to mankind.
A dangerous path to take.
Alternatives outside of the NHS & mainstream medicine are being built, healthcare for the people by the people, but they need our support. The People’s Health Alliance set up & run by volunteers has achieved amazing things on a shoestring. Supporting these grassroots, community lead initiatives is vital to our survival as the chaos descends around us.
Personal responsibility is what will see us through this.
Can’t agree more about grass roots activity and the need to help each other. Met someone today who is vaccine injured, newly awake and struggling to move forward and stay hopeful when there’s still so much gaslighting and denial around.
There are things which can alleviate the damage wrought by these bioweapon injections. World Council for Health, People’s Health Alliance, intermittent fasting to trigger autophagy, chlorine dioxide (incredibly supportive & friendly Telegram Group https://t.me/ChlorineDioxideTestimonies Has a sub topic of vaccine injuries). The message seems to be Detox, detox, detox. Clean up diet – no processed foods, no added or artificial sugar, grass fed meat, organic food where possible & affordable, filter drinking & bathing water (can get shower heads), chelate heavy metals out of the body, ditch fluoride toothpaste, grounding – bare feet on the earth or use a grounding mat, sunlight for Vitamin D production, fresh air, trees/plants/grass & daylight so important – without sunglasses to stimulate production of melatonin.
A lot of this can be done easily, cheaply or even for free.
The other thing which is a bit of a taboo subject in Western medicine is to cleanse the body of parasites – we are all infested.
I’ve been doing all of the above since end of January this year & 6 weeks ago added in a myrrh protocol for clearing parasites. OMG! I couldn’t believe the amount of wildlife which I had been hosting! I’ve just completed my third round of myrrh (9 days on, 7 days off). The outcome of clearing parasites for me has been more energy.
More & more research is coming out that parasites are a root cause of a lot of disease in humans caused by inflammation, nutrient depletion & the excretion of toxins by them.
If you’re in contact with this poor soul, giving them this information may be a gamechanger for them.
You are always welcome to ask for more information by replying to one of my posts. Supporting each other & especially welcoming, acknowledging & taking as much care as we can of those who have been injured in this war is the way we will win it. Once someone has woken up, they never go back to sleep on these atrocities. Love, kindness & compassion are the most powerful of weapons for defeating sheer evil.
