Er, isn’t Parliament sovereign?
NO..but probably paid in golden sovereigns!! LOL!
The rush, by all Governments, (with a few exclusions), to globalise everything, has basically given power to unelected cabals of rich people, companies, NGO’s and other ‘entities’..all of whom override any idea of a Sovereign Government..(although they pretend it’s still there…to keep us sheep onside..)
That is why there is such lockstep in everything from finance, to health to environment, to education and media and information platforms.
When have you ever heard so many people talk about misinformation, and ‘protecting the information space’ and rules about what is acceptable, on a global scale, in relation to freedom of speech? Who gives the unelected EU or any unelected body the permission to ‘police’ global information platforms?
Why is Bill Gates given tacit ‘permission’ to ‘dim the sun’ or any number of geo-engineering projects..does he own the world and everyone in it? Because, unless he does, why are you, me and everyone else not being asked?
Why is he even given credence in any aspects of health or the environment, being an ‘expert’ in neither?
I could go on and on..but you get my point….? We are really at the stage of being servants and masters…I’m not sure where it goes from here….
There are certainly ways in which pressure is brought to bear on national governments to follow certain policies, but that’s a choice you have to make as a national government. A country like Russia that is highly self sufficient can more easily ignore that pressure; the UK perhaps not so much. But I tend to think those pressures are used as an excuse for doing what they wanted to do anyway, for whatever reason.
..Sadly I don’t think there is any choice…we are very far down the road
of globalisation of everything….…read this pre-print..
https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202207.0187/v1
In our heads we think schools make decisions, or Governments for national decisions..they don’t..they are signed up to this bull-crap, and have been for many years…
UNESCO SDH4 has more say in your child’s education than either of those ‘sovereign’ bodies… it’s not an ‘coincidence’ that ALL Westen children are being sexually indoctrinated and exploited in schools, at the same time…..and it’s repeated with everything….
There is always a choice. Your choice may come with consequences.
Well, we will just have to agree they are choosing wrong!!
“We are really at the stage of being servants and masters…”
A point I have been making for many months.
You’d think.
But it’s more of a rubber stamping body these days.
Any politician who speaks up against the climate theocracy can kiss his politocal career goodbye and ministers can wave goodbye to those tasty corporate gigs that come afterwards.
True up to a point I think but it’s a theocracy they helped create and perpetuate. Some of them are now testing the waters and looking to backtrack a bit – we’ll see how sincere they are (I don’t hold out much hope personally).
The judiciary has been slowly taking over our politics for years. Blair of course the culprit with the Supreme Court being brought into existence. Too many lawyers in Parliament for sure.
Parliament makes the laws though.
Our constitution is very loose and would surely not prohibit them changing the statutes being referred to.
None of the laws & statutes passed since 1st January 1973 have Royal assent as from that date the Queen signed away power to the EEC committing treason. By doing so , she signed away her monarchy & all hereditary monarchs & became Head of State.
As all laws & statutes under the British Constitution have to be given Royal Assent, without a Monarch, no Royal Assent can be granted.
No it’s not – we are sovereign, we hold the power in this country. We have been manipulated & lied to making us believe the lie that it is Parliament which is sovereign. Parliament, the UK & the Government are corporations. How can a corporate business be sovereign? It’s just a thing.
Well yes but that wasn’t really what I was addressing
Kindred spirit here as this author describes Clown World exactly as I see it;
”In this pseudo reality, those military aged men being positioned all over the country, are fleeing war and deserve to be put top of the queue on our social welfare system. We never ask, ‘Where are the women and children?’. We don’t go there. We don’t want to be called ‘far right’. We don’t like being called names. We prefer to stay in our fake world where certain topics are best avoided. Maybe the problem will go away if we keep saying nothing. What can we do about it anyway? We hum when we hear about the latest murder or rape on the news. Thankfully the reports avoid the origins of the perpetrator. That helps. There are new laws coming too, that will protect our mysterious guests. They’re more important than us, so we tell ourselves. That’s why they don’t need documents to enter the country. That’s ok. Anyway it’s racist to ask people where they’re from nowadays. Just like we never mention the vaccine anymore when we hear about a sudden death. Some things are best left unsaid.
In this pseudo reality, the trans agenda is about human rights. Those poor children trapped in the wrong bodies. Puberty blockers are just helping them fix the affliction. Of course a child can decide these things. Cutting off and sticking on body parts is perfectly fine now. We never discuss that autistic children are targetted with this butchery or that they kill themselves at a frightening rate once they realise they can never change their gender and have destroyed their bodies. We wave the child mutilation flag to show how inclusive we are.”

I thoroughly concur with all of that too, Mogs. The ‘taboo’ subjects that dare not speak their names. The Bibby Stockholm is just down the road from me although still far away enough that it doesn’t impact my life in any way so I guess in that I am fortunate but I do think that families with teenage girls living in Weymouth and Portland will be very worried. Long term, what are these migrants going to be doing though? We have a long winter ahead of us. These young men will soon get bored and frustrated. This particular aspect seems to have not been thought out…unless it has. Are we really to believe that these men are being placed around the country as a quasi army in waiting? People who have no particular affinity with the British and their culture and so can become UN or WHO enforcers? I’m not so sure. Anyway, it’s pointless writing to MPs about this as they will reply with the well-worn trope about sheltering these vulnerable people and that to question our immigration policy is racist. Well, if they continue that line, I think they will lose their seats since I think this will be a major election issue. This short GB news video has Nigel Farage interviewing Lee Anderson, a Conservative MP, who has no such qualms about saying the unspeakable!

…as we are on a downer….. it’s occurs to me that a war in Africa in the near future….(see the current news on Mali)….means we could possibly see a stream of refugees coming into Europe, the likes of which we have never seen…..?
There must be some sort of programme that we are not aware of which incorporates the assimilation of our culture and customs for these migrants, whereby they go through a process of adjustment and consequently get used to and involved in British society gradually. We only ever hear about them arriving, where they’re housed and that’s pretty much it, but I cannot believe for a minute that the authorities just dump them in some accommodation and leave them to it. There must be an interim phase but the problem is this is never covered anywhere. So if anybody knows please share because, as you say, ”an idle mind is the devil’s workshop” and they will get bored and frustrated if they’re in some alien land and nobody is overseeing a process which allows them to integrate and learn all about Western civilization. I mean, this is basic no-brainer stuff. This essential phase surely can’t not exist??
Having said that, I’d much prefer they get shipped off to an island many miles away and then them being bored and frustrated is not our problem.
Surely easier to recruit rioters than soldiers – the latter have to be trained and motivated, whereas the former just have to be disgruntled. If there are street fights all over the country, the ordinary army ought to be sufficient to quieten the plebs.
But do we have an ordinary army? I sort of agree that rioters out of control all over the country would be a nightmare. It might even usher in…curfews!
You are on the money , reality is so warped in every direction , have you read the piece this morning about the German nursery school having a room for the kids to play nude & explore all their bits ! What could go wrong
, it did actually turn my stomach ! We are under assault constantly 
No I haven’t but that sounds flipping illegal. What do the parents think I wonder? Shouldn’t everybody be up in arms about this? I mean, I know what’s best for my kid not some bloody nursery or education authority!
MD4CE meeting yesterday was all about how the state can & does intrude too far into what should be decisions made by individuals & parents by abusing powers to detain adults in psychiatric care & remove children from parents when the state deems that the individual or parents have strayed from the proper path in Norway. Very scary stuff indeed.
Touched upon how trusting the Nordic people are of authority & why no lockdowns were needed because the people were already compliant enough with authority.

A long history in association with the German Green Party – look up Rudi Dutschke’s “educational” career (after he caused riots at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, that is).
What was I thinking? Not Rudi Dutschke, but Daniel Cohn-Bendit, “Danny the Red.” I can’t think why there should be any connection between them, apart from their connection with the Green Party. Dustchke dies of gunshot wounds in 1979, and Cohn-Bendit is a respected member of the European Establishment.
Funnily enough, he disowns his self-revelations of hanky-panky with minors in his school as a joke… whereas they’re now standard educational policy across the
satanicfree world.The Tories are not trapped by Bet Zero legislation. They are where they wanted to be.
Tories voted for the legislation and since they came into office (Cameron-Clegg, 2010) they have promoted it and praised it and implemented it.
as the General Election approaches there will be more and more complaints by the Tories about circumstances they initiated, supported and/or facilitated. From ECHE to Net Zero to wokeness the Tories have been enthusiastic. Their values are the same as the entire political class. The only competition is presentation and the only purpose is to hold office, not to change the narrative.
Sorry about all the typos in my posts. I used to think it was the keyboard!
I think you are right on both counts..they are where they wanted to be..because maybe they believed or hoped it would have a different outcome….(or they are just wankers and evil)?
…but now they are also trapped in a cage of their own making…with little idea of how to get out…
..it’s similar to the way I think about the proxy war in Ukraine …..America saw an opportunity to ‘weaken Russia’….but that doesn’t seem to be working out either..and again, they are stuck in a mess of their own making..and how to get out?
…ditto….the scamdemic … the lies, the deceit, the injuries and the deaths..…..….
…when things are just so overwhelmingly wrong and bad … and you are the cause…what is the way out?
The blob or swamp who resisted Trump was installed by Obama so arguably he has had four terms in power.
Don’t know how this affects us all but they found out about the cyber attack in late 2022…it had been going on for over a year already…and they told the public this week!!?
https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/media-centre/electoral-commission-subject-cyber-attack
8th August 2023…The Electoral Commission has been the subject of a complex cyber-attack, it has announced today, highlighting that the UK’s democratic process and its institutions remain a target for hostile actors online.
The electoral registers include the name and address of those registered to vote between 2014 and 2022, the names of overseas voters, but not the details of anonymous voters. While much of this data is already in the public domain, we understand the concern this may cause.
This list is worth a ‘save’ for the ‘next’ scamdemic…also a good tool to have to hand to back up your arguments!!?

Joanna Cherry needs airport style security at the bastion of anything goes liberalism – The Edinburgh Festival – except for free speech.
Seems right on Orwellian to me.
“The infuriating climate alarm” Wonderful article by the excellent Iain Davis, decrying the climate alarmism, full of insight, humour, sarcasm and outright ridicule. It’s as if a murder has been committed in plain sight but the police don’t want to know. The interview with Vivek Ramaswamy – constantly interrupted by that annoying anchorwoman – was also quite enlightening. Although he’s not an out and out denier, at least he’s bringing attention to the broader debate because he has such a high profile. Anyone with an iota of common sense and discernment left in their raddled heads can see the Net Zero debacle for what it is but, just like the vaccine drug pushers, the (waning) powers that be continue to push the narrative regardless of any evidence to the contrary or any debate. “It’s a closed and shut case, guv,” said the climate detective. “It was the gas wot did it.” The butler with the CO2 gas canister in the library.
Well, that said, I am going to my local council meeting (again) next week and I’ll be delivering another speech about the climate emergency plans they have drafted in their ignorance. Councils up and down the length and breadth of the land are all one and the same. They’ve been barking up the same wrong tree since they were told to bark back in the last decade. Personally, I would like to continue to drive my car beyond 2030 so if we are to push back, we must do this at both national and local level.
One must say this graph of temperature is terrifying…
I’m quivering with fear…no I’m not, I’m shivering from cold!
Have lit my wood burner a few times already this month!
““Gender critics akin to white supremacists, claims SNP’s Mhairi Black” – The Deputy Leader of the SNP has compared gender-critical campaigners to white supremacists, according to the Telegraph”
The SNP? The Toytown Party? Why is this news. Is she not the one who was seen sniffing something and then wiping her nose in the House?
What about Asian and Black critics of gender theatrics? Are they white supremacists too?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-24/melbourne-public-housing-tower-covid-lockdown-compensation/102640898
Melbourne public housing tower residents will receive compensation payments of about $2,200 each from the Victorian government after they were forced into a sudden hard lockdown during a COVID-19 outbreak.
On Monday, the government’s lawyers told the Supreme Court the measures taken in July 2020 were justified but that a settlement had been put forward to avoid a lengthy court battle with the residents.
In a class action lawsuit against the state, plaintiffs alleged the group was unlawfully detained for up to 14 days when a lockdown was imposed on nine towers in North Melbourne and Flemington.
About 3,000 residents were prevented from leaving under strict quarantine measures which saw police ring-fence the buildings.
So $2.200 would seem to be the price of basic civil liberties?? …..and on what basis did the Supreme Court say the measure was justified….?
I still find myself being shaken by these kinds of totally insane responses..particularly when they are backed by Court rulings….
More absolutely crazy and unbelievable news from Australia…
…in Queensland nurses who refused the vaccine (around 3000) can’t return to work..and nurses are still being sacked..!!?
This is NOT about health is it? It’s punishment, because these people wouldn’t follow ze orders??!!
