Ralph Schoellhammer, writing in Spiked, observes that the British have historically shown a distaste for theatrical political movements, as evidenced by their scepticism towards some of the dramatic antics of modern environmental activists. He holds little hope for such scepticism in Germany. Here’s an excerpt:
I have long been convinced that one of the reasons why fascism never had a chance in Britain was due to the predispositions of her people. If nothing else, the theatrics employed by Hitler and Mussolini just seemed too weird and downright ridiculous to the British.
P.G. Wodehouse captured this perfectly in an exchange between a British wannabe fascist, Roderick Spode, and Bertie Wooster: “The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone.”
I don’t intend to liken fascists to environmentalists, but Brits have at least expressed a similar, visceral distaste for the theatrics of eco-activist groups in recent years. Marching in black ‘footer bags’, pretending to be the voice of the people, is just as ridiculous as holding up traffic in an orange ‘Just Stop Oil’ t-shirt.
The environmental movement becomes more absurd by the day. The Guardian’s George Monbiot, for instance, has just called for the reintroduction of deadly wolves and lynxes to Great Britain, in order to manage a surging deer population. One can only hope that this call to action will have about as much success as his campaign against meat, milk and eggs, which Monbiot is convinced are an ‘indulgence’ humanity can no longer afford.
Sadly, the same is not true in Germany, where the elites are all too keen to humour even the most extreme climate fanatics. German discount supermarket Penny recently decided to increase the prices of its meat and dairy products, to include the environmental costs incurred in their production, as part of a week-long experiment. The price of frankfurter sausages rose from €3.19 to €6.01. The price of mozzarella rose by 74%, to €1.55. And the price of fruit yoghurt rose by 31%, from €1.19 to €1.56.
While the usual suspects in the establishment are clearly excited by this idea that in the future even shopping at a discount shop might become the preserve of the rich, average Germans are less pleased. Germany’s public broadcaster, WDR, asked Penny customers what they thought about the price-hike experiment. Due to a lack of enthusiasm from shoppers, WDR decided to have one of its employees cosplay as a happy shopper. That taxpayer-funded broadcasters now have to resort to outright fraud in order to drum up support for idiotic climate action tells you everything you need to know.

Not really a surprise, they didn’t spend all that money for nothing. However I resigned myself to them being used at some point a while ago and I know which side I am on. And I am fully prepared for the consequences.
It never ceases to amaze me how few people seem to understand the idea of the thin end of the wedge and how much impact it has on their lives.

The EU has been planning for vaccine passports since 2016, with a delivery date of 2022.
The British Establishment was obviously fully on board with this programme since it pre-dates Brexit. We are still significantly aligned to the EU so it’s hardly surprising to find that the British Government will be complying with the EU’s policy.
They will have to create an alternative to an APP, since not everyone owns a smart phone and the very people who need to access the NHS most frequently are the ones least likely to be computer-literate and own one.
They are champing at the bit, especially those who would profit from it all. With any luck, a large majority would declare themselves exempt, or take their trade elsewhere.
Vaccine / health passports – who really benefits?
https://www.dr-rath-foundation.org/2021/04/european-plans-for-vaccine-passports-were-in-place-20-months-prior-to-the-pandemic-coincidence/
They are carrying on with their plans, regardless…
People should start joining the dots, the majority leading the push for this agenda have talked openly about population reduction and are eugenicists.
The UK has pioneered the state spying on its citizens for decades. This comes as no surprise, I binned my smartphone in 2020. Haven’t looked back. There’s a company in the USA that specialises in scarves, clothing and masks that disrupt cameras. They’ll soon become a fashion accessory! Plus the old ‘chav’ uniform of hoodie and baseball cap will return.
Assuming the RPTB have yet to completely nobble the ONS etc. (see Professor Norman Fenton re this) it will be interesting to see precisely how the new “bi-variant booster vaccine” is rolled out and more importantly, the percentage of takers.
Make no mistake, the only reasons vax passports aren’t yet mandatory is, thankfully the resistance of the 19 million plus refuseniks and the simple fact that the jabs are, on any cost/benefit analysis, dangerous.
How dangerous remains to be fully seen.
I’ve never had the jab: the NHS gave up contacting me eventually. My parents had the originals and one booster and have said they won’t have any more. We’ve know of a couple of people in our wider circle of friends of family and friends of friends who have either died (one of a heart attack age 38 and another in her 50s died in agony from blood clots all over her body within days of the jab, both previously healthy) or been permanently injured by the drugs (an 18-year-old trainee nurse was severely injured by the first jab and can’t have any more ever, meaning she can no longer work in the profession.) Allegedly they’re going to come after the unjabbed in a campaign starting later this month. We’ll have to see whether it’s been postponed in the last few months…
‘If a citizen only has NATURAL immunity or negative test results, they will only be eligible for a ‘limited venues’ (voluntary) pass.’
This says it all: natural immunity is more effective and longer lasting than waning vaccinated immunity. It is all about controlling the masses and ensuring Big Pharma makes plenty of money in the process.
The purpose of continuing with the injections, which are no longer needed and even if they did work, is not protection from illness but promotion of death.
We have to stop blathering on about a cold virus which has been and gone and accept that government focus now is on killing people.
The covid virus has morphed into a deadly injection virus. That is what we need protection from.
Moderna are rolling out a six in one injection, completely untested, and why, because it will make it nearly impossible to blame the forthcoming deaths on the injections – too many variables.
Morning all…
An update from Professor Norman Fenton on the supposed ‘updates’ on the Government website in regard to vaccination of pregnant women….

Apologies…wrong thread…! Sausage fingers!
I remember there was a job advert for a deputy lead director – covid pass – pulled in June 2022 after questions raised in parliament about it. Savage Jabber was allegedly unaware of it.
https://web.archive.org/web/20220608081858/https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?jcode=1791653
Yes, they have been carrying on regardless, determined to have a ‘covid pass’ in place by hook or by crook.
It’s just a social credits app by the back door.
“remember there was a job advert for a deputy lead director – covid pass – pulled in June 2022”
ellie, the post was subsequently filled.
I didn’t know – I didn’t follow it up, to be honest. I’m not at all surprised, they are grand masters in the dirty tricks brigade. Accomplished liars.
Dido Harding who is tasked with this, is a member of the Bilderberg Group. The list of members makes for some illuminating reading & helps one to connect a few more dots…

BB – what a bloody eye-opener.
It most certainly is.
Power, once acquired, WILL be used and will never voluntarily be given up.
The vaccine passport is the control mechanism, the civil service in most countries positively salivate at the prospect of locking ppl they disapprove of out from society.
Let’s be clear – £37,000,000,000+ wasn’t spent on phone calls, min wages and dodgy tests. But it did buy a world-class surveillance system. The Stasi-esque NHSX is sheltering – unaccountable and out of sight – in the bosom of the sacred NHS.
Its purpose is the deployment of personal digital biometric IDs.
For your own safety, of course.
In the same week that the weather turns colder the health-harms of fuel poverty will be linked into the repurposed NHS app. The NHS app will be a pathway to the issuing of ‘energy vouchers’ to those on welfare and pensions. These vouchers will be redeemable against fuel bills, including your care home, your family or neighbour – to keep us all safe (i.e.warm).
And where have we heard that before?
Non-welfare people will be able buy these vouchers a heavy discount – as long as they get that digital NHSX ID and submit to its controls on how you then ‘spend’ your voucher on energy ONLY.
And following this ‘brilliantly effective and successful Govt vouchering scheme’ expect similar schemes for food and fossil fuels.
In this way – linking the distribution and spending of personal vouchers – the money we call CASH will be replaced by a programmable digital currency.
The people will willingly sacrifice the freedom of cash and choice to just keep warm ands fed in mild, abundant Britain. The new fudalism.
Beware vouchers!
Beware personal digital IDs.
“Let’s be clear – £37,000,000,000+ wasn’t spent on phone calls, min wages and dodgy tests.”
Well I had worked that out early doors. And I remain convinced that a large portion of the money was spent on road / traffic measures which will allow for vehicle tracking. Some of the money has been used on ‘track and trace’ but not in the ways we have been led to believe.
But people on pensions are the people least likely to have a smart phone. My mother, my elderly neighbours….none of them have internet or phones.
If they do this, there will be chaos. It’s too mad, surely, even for our government? we don’t even have mobile phone coverage in our village so goodness knows how they think it would work.
The vast majority of people without smart phones will be older people who are unlikely to be a threat to TPTB so they will be ignored – literally. If they fall ill, tough. If they die they help towards government targets.
To be blunt – the unconnected will be disconnected and permanently.
My feeling is that it’s the infrastructure (and the funding to implement it) that was desired, and that this relates to the imminent introduction of CBDCs. Once the system is in place, and the public is primed to accept conditional entry to venues and constant surveillance it will be much easier to install this new type of economy.
However the ‘Covid-19’ enterprise fraud cover story was so unbelievably weak and stupid that the wheels fell off, and it began to look absurd. They’ll be some scratching of heads about how to proceed now. They had one chance to gain the initiative, and ended up looking ridiculous and back at the drawing board. My guess is they’ll go for ‘cyber attack’ next.
Yes of course they kept the vaccine pass. I must have been fooling myself big time. For a brief moment in the summer it seemed like all their plans were going to be ripped to shreds, stuffed down the pants of Javid, Johnson, Patel et al and set on fire but unfortunately that never happened. So despite all thousands of reams of evidence, all the weight of knowledge and understanding about the true dangers or, rather, non-dangers of Covid and the very real dangers of the vaccine itself over two and a bit long exhausting years, despite all the science that actually shows a completely different picture, all the eminent scientists and doctors speaking out, all the evidence of vaccine harms, nothing has persuaded them that anything is amiss with the vaccines. No doubt at all. The good ship Lollipop – or Vaxalot – sails on, on calm steady seas with nary a hint of a breeze to ruffle the waters of absolute certainty. Meanwhile all the shock troops, the Covid Marshalls in Waiting, the mask manufacturers, BIg Pharma, all the cohorts of believers and cheerleaders will fall into lockstep again come the next vari-airy-ant this autumn or winter. Well, carry on if you must, but I’ve got a train to catch – it’s called the Reality Express and it’s not stopping at any stations on your line…

Bureaucratic opportunism. That’s what it looks like in the DHSC paper published above. In various departments, fashions come and go. E.g. a few years ago, there was a push to develop car engines that would churn out less than 100g/km of carbon dioxide, which resulted in zero road tax. I bought one of those in 2013 – I still had to “pay” tax every year, except that it was zero; I’m not joking!
Farage hit the nail on the head. All governments are into short termism(vote winning). No long term strategic planning, hence the energy crisis. So I wouldn’t worry.. Everytime the public push back, the government about- face.

I think there can be no doubt that covid passes will return this winter. When they do, the propaganda will be ‘anyone can get it, even if you’ve had it before, and anyone can spread it, even if not unwell’. People in general will support the covid pass’s return.
The facts, meanwhile, will remain (1) that at most 20% of the population has been susceptible to any variant, (2) no one has been at mortal risk from covid unless age-frail or already seriously ill, and (3) no evidence or rationale whatever exists for saying covid can be transmitted by people not coughing, sneezing and running a temperature.
Now its been fully established that the vaccines do not prevent spread of Covid, Why is our government wasting money on this?
