Just another bit of crap..(should it make its way to the UK) I will be taking absolutely no notice of.
It’s fantastically freeing …… knowing you are just not going to bow to any of this shit…
Trallala!!
You sound like someone who is answerable to no-one, who will accept no leader (unless they’re paying you). Anarchic. I like that.
Lol, that’s me … anarchic granny!
I hope I would have the courage to resist any tyranny, but the truth is more mundane…there’s a lot more of us and the big advantage for us is just to say NO!
The climate change push to net zero also started out like this, initially just raising awareness of your carbon footprint and inviting you to offset it voluntarily with carbon credits for things.like flights.
And then they set a date for banning petrol and diesel cars….
There are three words that should be everyone’s motto where government advisors, quangocrats, influencers, retail psychologists, HR employees, council officials, and activists are concerned: ‘LEAVE ME ALONE!!’
Or five words, for emphasis: ‘LEAVE ME THE F*** ALONE!!’ 😀
Bugs at cost though.
Not in Italy. No bugs at all there!
To some extent you can say or could say that you get what you pay for in terms of food. It’s also making the effort to learn about good food and its sources in your area. It’s not like you have to go out and hunt it yourself just find local purveyors of high quality food. You support them they support you and everyone is happy and it grows. The vegetables in the supermarket are completely tasteless and are fed with fertilisers that don’t contain vital trace minerals. Look at Selenium depletion in most food sold in the UK and US. And then they try to gaslight you into thinking that it’s just because you’re getting old.
I hope the extra cash they’re charging is going to some sort of very worthy cause and not just lining the pockets of the owners/shareholders – coz they sure as hell aren’t buying the stuff in at the ‘true price’.
As Peter Hitchens so memorably said about Cameron and the people who voted for him “He hates his own party”. Seems like the senior management of “Penny” despise their customers.
Obviously its all bullshit like charging 10p for carrier bags. At this level of systemic decline it is assumed that they shall spin bullshit and we will know its bullshit but we will say nothing because we are out of steam. These forces affect everyone high or low. Yes there are conspiracies but these forces are more like the shared memory of a thunder storm. All kinds of crazy things happened and no one really knows why.
There is a stark admission – that you really are on your own. In terms of a culture and a body of knowledge that broadly supported you and the reality. This is not easy to come to terms with. St John of the Cross pointed out that there are two stages. The long dark night of the soul is the stage where you throw off old beliefs and cease being a normie. But there is a second stage much further on where you are forced to witness the destruction of spirit as it is created. In some cultures this is represented by three colours – white, black, red. This is the testing ground of our society who knows what we have to put on the battlefield but you have to be completely honest and transparent.
Go woke go broke (hopefully)
This stuff really bothers me because I have been involved in this sort of thing for a long time and to put it frankly I find it contemptuous that people around me are being poisoned for lack of wisdom and they really are and I don’t forget. Most of these people are good loving people. Just look at how many millions of them have been killed in the last few years, how many more maimed or rendered infertile. You have a choice – you can either view these people with contempt or you can feel that they are part of the human family and you will provide recompense.
Very few people really care. Those that rise up will be those that do. I would be careful not to lose sight of this. There is no alternative future. If you are going to be a man then you simply have to look at cold hard reality.
Am I missing something? Are these guys really hiking the price of these sausages by just over 88% in order to tell people the ‘true cost’, or is it a gimmick and the real (not “true”) price of €3.19 will be charged at the chuck-out? If not, what’s going on? Do they really have such contempt for their customers? Do they not have competitors? Even Ratner has more sense.

Ah man, not my favourite drummer in the whole wide world ever as well!! Fortunately he’s fully recovered and they’re back to touring.
”The reason I’m writing to you all today is to let you know of a very serious health problem that I have been through. In January I had a stroke, thank the Lord it was a minor one referred to as a TIA. It left me paralyzed on my right side from my shoulder on down, of course I was very worried that my career was over but with the love and support from my wife, Rebecca and family, my doctors, especially Julie my OT (Occupational Therapist), and my Maiden family I was able to bounce back to somewhere near 70% recovered. After 10 weeks of intense therapy it was almost time to start rehearsals for our tour. I feel it’s important to let you know about this now instead of earlier as I was mainly concerned with doing my job and concentrating on getting back to 100% fitness. I’m not there yet but by the grace of God I’m getting better and stronger as the weeks go by.”

”About three days ago, Dickinson, who is double-vaccinated, took a lateral-flow Covid test, and it came back positive. “I thought, ‘Oh well, shit,’ ” he tells Rolling Stone, sounding upbeat over Zoom. “I was kind of sneezing a bit. For a couple of days, I felt a bit groggy, kind of like the flu, and that was it. And I’m 63 years old. I’ve pretty much got no doubt that had I not had the vaccine, I could be in serious trouble.”

Just Bud Light them. I walked past a pack of Bud Light in the Co op and just sniggered at it. It was a Jimmy Saville moment.
