Your post discloses a view that Tory Ministers are basically trying to do what their supporters want but they make mistakes, suffer Supreme Court restrictions or just don’t understand what they are doing. I disagree.

what Mrs May’s statement shows is the Tory Party is full on with woke, etc and intended to facilitate the destruction of our nation, culture and democracy. It was all done intentionally b

‘Proof your government hates you’ German edition. But I think this is the state of play in all Western countries as far as I can see. Deep pockets with limitless spending when it comes to Ukraine or migrants but skinflints when it comes to native people who are legitimately struggling and getting overlooked.

”German leader, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, laughed off the possibility of providing seniors with a pension inflation bonus, telling an audience that the cost is far too great. The claim that the costs are too great to support seniors on meager pensions follows unprecedented spending from Germany’s left-wing government on weapons for Ukraine and social benefits for migrants.

As poverty rises in Germany, seniors on fixed pensions, known as “Rentner” and “Rentnerinnen,” have been hit especially hard. There are different categories of pensions in Germany, with those earning a higher pension, such as doctors and professors, receiving a far higher sum than those in the “Rentner” class. Those receiving smaller pensions, which totals millions of German seniors, are more acutely affected as rising costs for food, housing and energy eat into their income at a far faster rate.

As of March 2023, Germany has sent Ukraine at least €14 billion in weapons and aid shipments, which was six months ago. Since then, that figure has risen to €22 billion and is only expected to rise over time. It must also be noted that due to sanctions on Russia, which is tied to the war in Ukraine, there has been an enormous increase in the cost of energy in Germany, which has not only eaten into the pocketbooks of households but also led to an increase in bankruptcies and a recession in Germany.

In addition, the German federal government plans to spend €36 billion on migrants in 2023, which includes housing, social benefits, and education, but that figure is likely a lowball estimate, as there are numerous hidden costs as well, such as millions more spent for police and security at German swimming pools to protect against migrant assaults and sexual violence.”

More rewriting of history and treating people like they’re stupid. Is this BS not getting the Marianna Spring Verify treatment then??

”The BBC has sparked a furious race row after being accused of “rewriting history” following the release of a new song on children’s show Horrible Histories.
The TV series received a barrage of criticisms on social media over its song “Been Here From The Start”.
Conservative commentator Anna McGovern added: “BBC’s children show Horrible Histories has released a song called Been Here From The Start which is about black people always being in Britain. BBC is rewriting history by teaching children that the original Britons were black.”
She added: “Facts the BBC got wrong: – It says that Septimius Severus was black.
“That’s false. – It says that the Aurelian moors were black.
“That’s false. – It says that Western Hunter Gatherers, the original people of Britain, were black. That’s false. It’s time to defund the BBC.”

I’m sorry but this is beyond a joke. Dove, you are a disgrace. WTF is ‘fat liberation’? This is just wrong and warped on every level. Refusing to airbrush models and using ‘real women’, as opposed to stick thin models, is one thing but this is now insane.

Antibodies don’t equate immunity…Dr Chase 1940

Merrill W. Chase (September 17, 1905 – January 5, 2004) was an immunologist working at Rockefeller University New York City who is credited with discovering cell-mediated immunology in the early 1940s. While working with Dr. Karl Landsteiner Dr. Chase discovered that white blood cells, and not antibodies alone, were important instruments of the immune system. His findings laid the groundwork for later research that discovered the role of B Cells, T Cells, other types of white blood cells…..

“British TV ‘allowed monarchy to censor coverage of king’s coronation’” 

That’s alright, MSM – I self-censored the whole lot by not watching any of it.

Britain in a state of distress by Kruger is yet more overthinking…..

We need many fewer politicians, fewer layers of government, doing a great deal less.

What we have now is certainly ‘The Idea’ but it is an old idea: socialist fascism.

And it is not working, has never worked.

https://theintercept.com/2023/09/12/national-security-dementia-mcconnell-feinstein/

AS THE NATIONAL security workforce ages, dementia impacting U.S. officials poses a threat to national security, according to a first-of-its-kind study by a Pentagon-funded think tank. The report, released this spring, came as several prominent U.S. officials trusted with some of the nation’s most highly classified intelligence experienced public lapses, stoking calls for resignations and debate about Washington’s aging leadership.

” …..honestly I’d forgot what it was for, and I just fell over onto the Nuclear Weapon control button”…!!!”………LOL!! 💣

Coerced vaccination of care home workers

In a consortium with @hartgroup_org and @ukmfa1
We today wrote to 319 MPs who supported forced vaccination of care home workers in July 2021 to ask about MP’s rationale, given;

The right to informed consent is absolute.

Vaccines did NOT stop transmission.

The public consultation opposed this initiative (57% against).

There were already 300,000 post Yellow card reports at 30 June 2021.

Care home residents suffered as a result of care workers leaving the sector.

Please look up to see if your MP supported this initiative and write to them
