Cambridge: ““But the Labour group on the council voted to withdraw support for the proposals and said it was worried about the impact on low income families. ” Isn’t it more likely that Labour are more worried about the impact on low voter support . Which is as it should be in a democracy.
Downvoted for speaking the truth.
I don’t go along with this line of thinking. There is plenty of corruption in local politics and given that the LibLabCon follows the same policies anyway the outcome of an election will hardly change things.
Or perhaps I now cannot take any story at face value.
Cult Transgender seem somehow to have destroyed the concept of safeguarding; their pervy fetishes now carry more weight than the well-being of children.
Grotesque
All going to plan from a Communist perspective so why would the government (civil service) rock the boat?
What this American doctor is saying here ( 1min 30sec ) is spot on and applies to all countries and across the board. ”Public health is Marxism” Ethics well and truly out of the window, no matter the context. We saw proof of this during the whole Covid debacle ( still ongoing obv ), for instance, did any country not ban Ivermectin and HCQ and persecute doctors who went ahead and prescribed these highly safe drugs for patients? Second example is the whole gender transitioning fiasco, which is ruining kids and vulnerable people’s lives. Doctors, once highly respected by all and viewed as the healers in societies worldwide, who cared about their patients and wanted the best outcome possible for them have now become the polar opposite and some grotesque caricature of what a healer should be. Yes there are still good ones out there but it’s become a lottery in finding a decent one.

Why does the country want a failed lockdown fanatic, Cummings, to start a new party?
In Clown World all is possible.
The UK doesn’t do new parties.
The system is completely rigged to make it basically impossible. (The US is the same or worse).
Even when a new party emerges with massive public support, as happened with UKIP, it’s a stillbirth. With almost 15% of the vote they got 1 MP.
That means they needed to get 3.3 million votes to get an MP.
In comparison, the Conservative Party needed just 34,000 votes for each MP.
That’s a ratio of 100 to 1. Basically, if you voted for UKIP in 2015 your vote was worth 100 times less that that of someone who voted for the Conservative Party.
That’s British democracy for you.
True, though UKIP pushed the Tories into doing Brexit. A genuine small-c conservative political party might threaten to steal enough votes from the Tories that they adopt a few more actually conservative policies.
Now, now tof:
Our salvation will not arrive via the ballot box.
Indeed it will not but I believe the ballot box can still be part of the picture.
Salvation will arrive when people realise politicians and states do not bring salvation. Recent events have perhaps given us an opportunity to wake people up to that truth. We shall certainly try.
And a liar. Eye-test Mr Cummings?
At least doctors in Japan are cottoning on and finally speaking up. Anybody in the medical profession not sounding the alarm by now is complicit and guilty of injuring/murdering their patients via iatrogenesis. Neither willful ignorance or cowardice are a legitimate defense.
”Authorities in Izumiotsu City in Osaka, Japan have stopped recommending COVID-19 vaccines.
A local report emphasizes the reason for not recommending the jab is based on doctors’ warnings about the drug’s connection to higher infection rates and harmful side effects.
The report cites Dr. Seiji Kojima of the Nagoya University Department of Pediatrics, who has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed publications in his field.
Dr. Kojima is sounding the alarm over the fact that increased vaccination rates correspond to an increase in COVID infections.
“The more newly infected people are vaccinated, the more likely they are to catch the coronavirus,” Kojima explains in a presentation.
The doctor believes the vaccines are not only not effective at preventing transmission, but that “vaccination actually increases the number of infections,” the local report notes.
The report cited other medical experts who confirm that “the vaccine itself causes damage to the body” whereby the immune system begins attacking and destroying an individual’s own healthy cells.”

Even injection promoter Dr Offit is recommending the injections this Autumn to the over 75s only. Although, when he says ‘Boosting otherwise healthy young people is low-risk, low-reward strategy’, what he should say is that it is high-risk, no-reward strategy and no-one, including the over 75s, should go near them.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12496327/americans-covid-booster-fda-vaccine.html
“no-one, including the over 75s, should go near them.”
Too right.
We do not need this arrogant prat vying for government power. We might as well have Ferguson.

5min of Neil Oliver talking absolute sense. Looks like he’s ruffled a few feathers, going by the spineless trolls in the comments section. It’s these such lobotomized bottom-feeders, the ‘go along to get along’ tribe who love their serfdom, who will be the downfall of what was formally known as our ‘free and democratic society’.
”The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than cowardly”.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo warns Americans NOT to take latest COVID booster and claims there are ‘red flags’ over its safety

“A new report in the Federalist pointed out the problem for small businesses this week when the popular payment system, Square, failed.
Millions of business had to halt doing business with their customers, unless those customers were carrying cash.
An estimated 64 million small businesses use Square to facilitate credit card transactions, pull sales reports, review profit percentages, and manage inventory. A disruption that began midday on Thursday, however, left those customers without the ability to run their businesses effectively unless clients paid cash.”
Without the ability to process credit cards, many businesses have reported turning away customers who don’t have cash—or taking an enormous risk and writing down credit card information to process later, not knowing if the card will go through. Despite Square’s customers losing thousands of dollars per hour, their customer service line was shut down and goes directly to a voice message that says the service line is unavailable,” the report said.”
”Cash is king. Don’t let them convince you otherwise unless you want to be trapped with no way to pay for what you need, no way to access your funds, and no one answering the ‘customer service’ line.”
Pretty sure payments to GP’s have been posted, so I hope this isn’t a repeat…but it lays out the payments to Doctors in the UK…..

GPs given more cash for COVID jabs to combat new ‘Pirola’ strainWith NHS England’s autumn vaccination drive being brought forward, GP practices are being offered more money to speed up the process.GP practices are being offered extra money for each COVID-19 jab they administer as NHS England brings forward its autumn booster programme.
A vaccination drive for over-65s and vulnerable groups was set for October, bit will now start on 11 September, in a bid to tackle the new BA.2.86 variant, nicknamed Pirola.
In addition to the £7.54 they could already claim for each vaccination, practices will now be offered an additional £5 for each jab given to patients.
Vaccines for care homes residents, or those who are otherwise housebound, already carry a payment of £10, but practices will now receive an additional £10 for each one given between 11 September and 22 October.
Meanwhile a one-off completion payment of £200 will be given for each fully vaccinated care home, a letter sent yesterday to NHS staff says.
Yes, this is a repeat Mrs Gums.
Fek! Thought it might be..I’m on the lovely Norfolk coast at the moment, having bit of a break…..so can’t keep up!!! LOL!!
If you want to sell something, you advertise, you extol all its virtues and if seen as positive and viable by the public the sales will follow!
If a product or service fails to sell after large advertising campaigns then it shows the public cannot see any viability or confidence in its worth, sales fail, and the product gets removed.
If you then have to incentivise the product/company with bribes and subsidies to get it to sell, then you have already lost!
Evs , wind turbines, solar panels, heatpumps are all incentiveised by governments, ergo, give up on them, they are not wanted and no amount of public money thrown at them is going to change that fact!
To my mind, products should sell on their own merit and nothing else.

”Australia is grappling with the “yo-yo flu”, where cold symptoms continually return, as a sharp rise in respiratory infections has been driven by an early flu season, continuing cases of COVID-19 and the circulation of nasty viruses.
Sydney pharmacist Sylvia Thai said she and her family had been sick intermittently for the past several months, and believed it was a byproduct of low natural immunity.”
(…and yes the article advises them to get their flu jab!!)
Here’s a thought ..maybe it’s because you keep getting jabbed and have completely kiboshed your own natural immunity?
LOL! I’m a fan of Titania (Andrew Doyle)….but really, people who have been taking the Micky for a long time have their work cut out for them now because ‘reality’ is even more stupid!!

“Three years ago, I wrote a column for this esteemed magazine in which I urged the public to modify certain phrases. I noted that the term “boy” should be replaced with “ungirl”, “vagina” with “front hole”, and “semen” with “hate syrup”.”

A father, Scott Smith of Loudoun, Virginia, was arrested in 2021 for protesting the violation of his daughter – at her school – by a trannie. The school tried to cover it up – out of concern for the rapist!
Meanwhile, Shane Murnan (aged 52) has been appointed head of John Glenn elementary school, Western Heights, Oklahoma.
Among Murnan´s “qualifications” are: he´s a Drag Queen (and reads story hour in the library), is an ex-Miss Gay Oklahoma and (twenty years ago) was charged with child pornography.
No wonder Americans are increasingly opting for home-schooling.
