Isn’t the Dan Hannan anti-lockdown article in the Washington Examiner not the Washington Post?
Ha! You’re right. That makes more sense! I’m glad you pointed that out, as I was a bit shocked to see that it was in ‘the Washington Post’ but I hadn’t looked at the actual article (yet) thinking it might be for subscribers only!

This is an excellent interview by Jordan Peterson with Kelly-Jay Keen. JP does ask some good questions.

A very good half hour doc, Heresies, about London. Specifically its focus is on the effect of mass immigration on the capital and what it means now to be a Londoner when you’re in the minority in what can hardly be called a ‘British city’ any longer. I think it’s fair to say we can move ‘The great replacement’ from the ‘conspiracy theory’ pile to the ‘fact’ pile now, along with many others.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGUOeyQUWi8&ab_channel=TheNewCultureForum
We, the previously named ‘conspiracy theorists’ are now quite clearly the ‘conspiracy realists’ and those with heads in the sand are the ‘reality deniers’.
It was students losing their accommodation last week and this week it’s guests and staff being given the heave-ho from a hotel in order to house migrants. These immigrants must be living the life of Riley with all of these fancy digs they’re being given. Anyone would think there’s not a single homeless British person sleeping rough on the street the way these guys are given preferential treatment by the government. Yet more proof our governments hate their citizens as this is happening in various other countries too.
”Staff at one of the largest hotels in the English city of Bristol have lost their jobs and weddings at the venue have been canceled after the building was requisitioned by the Home Office to accommodate migrants.
Local media reported an unnamed hotel had canceled all its bookings at short notice despite being booked up for the autumn with a number of conferences and business events due to be held on the premises.
The hotel has been named online as the Mercure Bristol Holland House in the city center, and this appears to have been confirmed by several disgruntled prospective guests who have left online reviews recounting their recent communication with the hotel.
“Never got to experience my stay at this hotel because my booking was canceled last minute. I have now been informed it is because they have taken on a Home Office contract and will be closed to the public indefinitely,” wrote one user.
“They have given the hotel to illegal migrants. Don’t try and book,” added another.
“We had a great stay but found out upon leaving that they’re closing permanently this week,” wrote a third.”

This beggars belief it really does. It’s like the German government is rubbing citizens’ noses in it, and I can see locals must be thrilled to receive so many mystery neighbours for their culturally enriching experience yet to come. Loving the way the government sweeps the significant amount of crime perpetrated by migrants under the rug in order to treat the next wave of them like V.I.Ps!
”The paper gushes over various details of the new home for 280 men: “Wide corridors, bright colors, comfortably furnished rooms” are designed to provide excellent living accommodations for 280 young men from Afghanistan, Syria and Venezuela. The paper notes that 80 men have already moved in, with more slated to arrive in the next months.
The migrants will also benefit from a number of amenities, including full-service accommodations, as well as “prayer rooms, a hairdresser, canteen (three meals a day, also vegetarian) as well as organized leisure activities.”
German taxpayers will be on the hook to pay for the accommodation, with the hotel costing €36,000 per month. However, that does not factor in administrative costs, cleaning costs, the cost of food and healthcare, educational courses, and a variety of other services the migrants will have access to — not to mention a “team of experienced social workers” who will be servicing the new men, as Tag24 says. The extravagant price tag for just 280 men may be why the German government estimated it will spend €36 billion on migrants in 2023 alone.
However, such cultural exchange has resulted in a disaster inside Germany’s swimming pools, where armed police are now on duty during all opening hours and a wave of sexual assault and riots have plagued the country’s swimming establishments.”

Further to the above about Germany…Jesus fecking wept!
”Apparently in order not to provoke the “new citizens”, the city of Dresden removed the sculpture of a naked woman in front of the luxury hotel “Zum Flüchtling”. “Die Sinnende”, which stood there for 47 years, was removed on the instructions of the Greens building mayor. Now the mostly young, Muslim men can move into their noble accommodation – a former hotel – undisturbed by German art.
The sculpture “Die Sinnende” stood in front of the Robotron complex in Dresden for 47 years. The bronze sculpture of a lounging nude comes from the sculptor Horst Brühmann (1942-2014). Now it has been removed and moved to a place where it is no longer visible to the public. Allegedly a routine measure, claims the city administration. This justification – for which Stephan Kühn, the green building mayor, is responsible – is likely to be another green lie.
“We only accommodate men here – from Afghanistan, Syria and Venezuela,” says Kühn, Dresden’s green building mayor, who – as reported by jouwatch– is extremely concerned about the well-being of the 280 new guests, who are almost exclusively “single travellers, male” – who will stay in the former hotel at taxpayer expense until 2024. In addition to the distribution of the newly renovated hotel rooms according to origin and religion, this also includes various leisure activities, prayer rooms and a hairdresser. Oh yes – for the culinary well-being, the hotel guests are supplied with breakfast, lunch and dinner. “For Ramadan we adjust our working hours accordingly,” explains the chef, who always tries to adapt the menu to the needs of the residents and to offer special products such as dates. The all-round feel-good package costs the taxpayer a total of 36,000 euros in rent per month – for ten years.”

“Nigel Farage: There’s something else going on in this bill, that I believe to be far more sinister…”
I have not studied this bill in detail but the idea that having poor insulation or an inefficient boiler could lead to a criminal offence conviction seems to run counter to the principle and definition of a criminal offence;
”every criminal offence requires both a criminal act, expressed in Latin as the actus reus, and a criminal intention, expressed as mens rea.”
Are they really suggesting that someone who has poor insulation had criminal intention in mind? does anyone deliberately set out to have poor insulation. If anything these sorts of matters should be civil law not criminal law. To make them criminal offences actually undermines the gravity and seriousness that should attach to the notion of a criminal offence.
The fact that they are going down the criminal offence route with this net zero nonsense indicates the frustration, vexation and petulance that our deranged eco minded politicians are feeling as the general public show themselves to be totally bemused by all this eco-energy stuff. We are not switching to heat pumps, we do not like them and cannot afford them and like Violet Elizabeth Bott in the just William stories the eco politicians are stamping their feet and screaming in rage that this is not going as they wish. Why on earth did we vote for any of them?
If Climate Emergency were true, and for the reasons that they claim, then it wouldn’t just be the Western World who are trying to bankrupt themselves over cow farts. What I am sure of is that the Chinese love their children. The Indians and Russians love their children and so do the rest of the other 70% of the world who will have nothing to do with this folly
Still very interested to hear the experiences of the great and the good with their newly installed heat pumps and if they also work well to heat swimming pools (Sunak) or stables (Zahawi). What’s that they say? They don’t actually have a heat pump…? Ah yes, the ‘Stratton (regrettably not consistent with my lifestyle) defence’.
Also not widely know is that as part of the licensing conditions imposed by Ofgem electricity suppliers HAVE TO ensure that ALL of their customers have smart meters by end of 2025.
..https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-03/0340/220340.pdf
go to page 196…..235 Energy Smart Appliances…and just have a read..it’s like a dystopian nightmare…..
Energy smart regulations may include provision to ensure compliance with
any prohibition or requirement imposed by or under the regulations, including provision— 10
(a) designating authorities to carry out enforcement (referred to in this Chapter as “enforcement authorities”);
(b) requiring persons to—
(i) maintain information;
(ii) monitor compliance and report non-compliance; 15
(iii) take specified steps to remedy non-compliance;
(c) requiring persons to supply evidence of their compliance to enforcement authorities;
(d) conferring powers of entry, including by reasonable force;
(e) conferring powers of inspection, search and seizure; 20
(f) conferring powers to require the production of information or things held at, or electronically accessible from, entered premises;
(g) conferring powers to enable the testing of energy smart appliances by enforcement authorities, including powers to require the provision of sample appliances and powers to make test purchases; 25
(h) conferring functions, including functions involving the exercise of a discretion.
……..and this is one little bit of it!!
God almighty.
Yes..it’s like CBDC’s but for your home appliances..they don’t like you putting your washer on more than once a week..they’ll be able to switch it off!!……or arrest you…having ‘legally’ broken your door down and dragged you off..!!!
A lot of pushback is needed now that people are more aware of what is going on……
This is a war on us. There are no other ways to explain this. It’s quite simple, they are turning up the heat on the froggie hot tub. Absolute barstewards! A short Anglo-Saxonism beginning with ‘F’ their ‘enforcement authorities’! Just let them try getting past the pitchforks!
It’s just more of the agenda to remove people from their homes by any means. This is quite clearly insane. Who wrote this gibberish? Unless we ramp up our position in that we simply do not comply, especially with nonsensical garbage like this, they will push it forward to be made law. From my perspective, they are now waging open warfare against the people. We must respond in similar fashion. Obviously without incriminating ourselves in the process! How do we do that when so many people still dumbly accept all they read, watch and listen to on msm is the twooff? I can almost imagine that when people are turfed out of their houses for not insulating them well enough or for having a sneaky woodburner, they will still not ‘get it’!!
Watching clip of Deputy Speaker and P Mordaunt gurning like cats with the cream over how little discussion time this bill has been allowed reminds me of Nicolai Ceausescu strutting about on the balcony, revelling at how all powerful he was – until he wasn’t. Always cheers me up.
“U.K. transgender group hosting nude camps, BDSM workshops, led by consultant at charity that teaches gender identity to children”

“Bring in the Gen X politicians!”
…and in one concise document we learn why Gen X’ers are thoroughly unsuitable to be given any form of power, ever.
To the contrary. The article nails it and all the stereotypes very well.
But they are also the reasons why it won’t happen.
GenXers are executing, the perfect workers, pilots, engineers, sales guys, production or building site and and middle managers.
Few are natural born leaders, liars, ideologues, visionaries and imposters without principles, real skills or work ethic, and those who are, like Boris Johnson, will usually turn out to be equal disasters to any Boomer or Millennial with those traits.
Those come natural to self-confident and self-obsessed boomers and their by them miseducated/egged on millennial offspring and heirs.
In the Covid and Net Zero resistance, Xers where overrepresented, though most disappointingly just ducked and duck.
The real problem now and with Xers is that they too did a lousy job with their Z/A children.
Normally, they c/would be expect to be the future rebels against Millennial led changes/Fourth Turning catastrophes and then be in charge of the First Turning revival, but this spoilt, anxious, unambitious and unskilled current young lot gives me no hope let alone confidence that this will be the case.
What’s worse, a PM who is openly and unambiguously on board with the climate catastrophe agenda or one who sometimes pretends he isn’t and is fighting sometimes in vain to stop the juggernaut?
Boris Johnson was also very good at speaking out of both sides of his mouth.
It seems to me as if the Conservative Party have become masters of pacifying the British public and submitting them to the global agenda.
Obviously most of the opposition in this country to the misery they have in store for us comes from people with conservative ideas.
And it looks as if they’ve found the trick to keep them quiet, by giving lip service to these people, throwing them just enough scraps that they don’t rebel completely as they did with Brexit, the Brexit Party, UKIP and all that. Just enough to make them think that the Conservative Party is on their side and that it would just be so much worse with Labour.
I have to admit, in some way one has to admire their evil deviousness. They’re so incredibly good at it.
No one voted for Sunak or Hunt or Truss , strange but True !
Good point though Truss was at least voted for by party members in accordance with their standard policy.
But even the ones we do vote for betray those who vote for them.
They voted for Boris Johnson though who loved the green agenda, loves war with Russia and stripped us all of our liberties while pretending to be a defender of freedom.
Yes ! He really let us down ! Churchill is his supposed Hero so dumbass old me had faith in him putting things straight ! HOW wrong I was ! I now don’t even think he was ill & shouting Get Boosted from his expensive briefing room puts him up there with Goebals ( if that’s how his names spelt )
Who is Stephen Daisley in Speccie.
what a divisive and simplistic notion to suppose that competence and honesty are a function of date of birth or that the young could have enough world view to be effective Ministers. No simple solution will do it.
m I realise politicians and journos cannot cope with more than a linear issue but improving politicians is not that. Better selection in the first place, accountability through recall rights and serious debate in Parliament are all needed. The MSM could help by replacing juvenile scribblers with serious political analysis.
Indeed
My view is that the general public needs to wake up and remember that the state serves them not the other way around, that the state will not and cannot solve all or even many of their problems, that the state is an enabling technology at best,
whose proper function is to harness the efforts and talents of the people, and that politicians often lie, obfuscate and are driven by the same selfish motives as the rest of us, or worse.
The solution to poor leaders lies in the attitudes and behaviours of those being led.
Sadiq khan is one man out of 50 million here in the U.K. if the people on his constituency do not fight for their rights, they will continue to be dictated by this one man. Time to take your lives back people.time to put someone else in the job who represent you.
Interesting article relating to the World Council for Health’s release about the unresearched possible harms of the childhood vaccines.
https://anntomokorosen.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-the-childhood-vaccine
Good to see that all childhood vaccines are now being questioned, especially when the VAERS reports of SIDS note that there is a temporal relationship to the receipt of childhood vaccinations in the absence of any other medical explanation for the death.
Vaccines and Sudden Infant Deaths: Almost 50% of Deaths Occur The Following Day
An analysis of the VAERS database 1990–2019 and review of the medical literature
•2989 infant deaths reported to VAERS with a vaccination date from 1990 through 2019.
•Of the 2605 infant deaths, 58% clustered within 3 days post-vaccination
78.3 % within 7 days post-vaccination.
The remaining deaths occurred between 8 days and 60 days post-vaccination
This study found that a substantial proportion of infant deaths and SIDS cases occurred in temporal proximity to vaccine administration. The excess of deaths during these early post-vaccination periods was statistically significant

Mark Steele presented yesterday evening to MD4CE. His presentation is not yet uploaded to https://rumble.com/user/cbkovess but is an absolute must watch. He succinctly explains the links between LED street lighting, 5G, the covid injections, why the PCR tests were so heavily pushed onto everyone & the obsession with ULEZ type schemes & cameras (which aren’t cameras but linked to the kill grid). Some advice on how to protect oneself from these harms is given. Connects this infrastructure to the climate scam & how it will also be used to control & depopulate.
The reason so few folk have understood this is because of how complex & interconnected seemingly unconnected aspects of the web are.
Report referred to in the recording can be found here: https://forlifeonearth.weebly.com/mark-steele-expert-report-on-5g-emissions-in-context-of-nanometal-contaminated-vaccines.html
