by Richard Eldred
14 November 2023 1:05 AM

  • “The dying days of Rishi Sunak’s black hole Government” – Rishi Sunak’s decision to sack his Home Secretary Suella Braverman and make David Cameron the Foreign Minister signals the death throes of the Government, writes Sam Leith in the Spectator.
  • “Suella Braverman was sacked for being right” – Rishi Sunak is too effete to do anything about the issues Conservative voters care about, such as reducing immigration, says Jacob Rees-Mogg in the Telegraph.
  • “Rishi Sunak is living dangerously by freezing out the Tory Right” – No. 10 has decided that the best electoral strategy is to pivot away from the Right… but it’s a moment of great jeopardy for the PM, warns Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “The perils of ‘Suella Derangement Syndrome’” – The liberal elites would rather make excuses for antisemites than admit Braverman had a point, says Fraser Myers in Spiked.
  • “Without Suella, who will speak up for British values?” – Many British people are tired of being treated like doormats. Suella Braverman is one of the few senior politicians who understands this, writes Emma Webb in the Telegraph.

  • “Voters deserve better than a return to a failed pre-Brexit past” – With the sacking of Suella Braverman, the Tory party has finally given up on the policies it was elected to enact in 2019, writes David Frost in the Telegraph.
  • “Of course there’s a double-standard in policing” – Suella Braverman is right, says Lois McLatchie in the Critic. Silent prayer is treated more seriously by the police than outright disorder.
  • “Tribalism is tearing Britain apart. It cannot go on” – The U.K. is approaching a tipping point. What unites us may soon be weaker than what we disagree about, warns Tim Stanley in the Telegraph.
  • “Don’t be fooled by the march for peace” – Middle-class Lefties are enabling Hamas, says Giles Fraser in UnHerd.

  • “Is it racist to make fun of Hamas?” – The Washington Post’s deletion of an anti-Hamas cartoon has exposed the moral depravity of the liberal Left, says Jenny Holland in Spiked.
  • “U.K. money to stop migrant crisis spent by France on microwaves and vacuum cleaners” – British cash given to France to stop the small boats crossing the channel is being splurged on a vacuum cleaners, microwaves and mobile phone chargers by the French border guards, says the Express.
  • “Why Israel was unprepared: It’s all about Iran, Russia, Ukraine” – In Forbes, Malik Kaylan suggests why Israel was unprepared on October 7th. It has to do with Netanyahu, Putin and Iran.
  • “U.S. backs Israel attacking hospitals used as military bases” – America has backed Israeli claims that Hamas is using hospitals in Gaza as military bases, accusing the terror group of “a violation of the rules of war”, according to the Telegraph. The evidence is compelling.
  • “A COVID-19 vaccine reckoning is coming for the DOJ over federal mandates” – The Justice Department has just advertised for eight new attorneys to defend the federal Government in vaccine injury cases, reports the New York Post. A reckoning is coming.
  • “The law should keep out of private conversations” – Prof. Andrew Tettenborn in Spiked is horrified by the news that a retired judge has been prosecuted for accidentally broadcasting a politically incorrect conversation with a friend.
  • “Schengen shattering: Eleven countries rebelling against free movement” – The face of Europe is dramatically changing as terrorist threats and out-of-control immigration destroy the EU’s idyll of passport-free travel, reports the Mail.

  • “SNP admits overstating green energy claims” – SNP ministers have revised their claim that Scotland can supply 25% of Europe’s demand for offshore wind. It’s only 7%, they’ve admitted, in a major blow to the economic case for independence, reports the Times.
  • “The heat pump charade is unravelling faster than a pound shop cardigan” – Homeowners are being cajoled into becoming early-adopters of heat pumps, a product which just isn’t ready to be rolled out yet, says Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Study: Liquid natural gas, the great future hope of Robert Habeck’s green energy policy, causes up to three times more emissions than coal” – Liquid natural gas is not emissions-friendly. It is very much the opposite, says Eugyppius on Substack.
  • “Outrage as charity for women’s condition appoints trans woman as CEO” – A health charity, focused on a womb condition causing prolonged agony in women, faces criticism for appointing a biological male as its new chief executive, reports the Mail.
  • “I spent years investigating the Tavistock clinic – I have serious concerns about its replacement” – Hannah Barnes’s bestseller on the NHS’s dangerous gender identity service was almost not published. In the Telegraph, she says that voices raising the alarm are still being stifled.
  • “The police are still witch-hunting gender-critical women” – Why has a woman in Newcastle been threatened with arrest for stating biological facts, asks Lauren Smith in Spiked.
  • “Progressive dogma behind Portland’s self-destruction” – Portland used to be all about liveability. Today, it is anything but liveable, writes Stephen Eide for the Public Substack.
  • “Jeremy Corbyn fails to answer a question and Piers Morgan doesn’t let it go for 10 minutes” – On TalkTV, Piers Morgan asks Jeremy Corbyn whether Hamas should be allowed to remain in power and (even easier) if he considers Hamas a terrorist group. He flatly refuses to answer either, but instead loses his rag.

Jeremy Corbyn is asked two reasonably simple questions: (1) Should HAMAS be allowed to remain in power?; and even easier: (2) Does he consider HAMAS a terrorist group? He flatly refuses to answer either of them, despite repeated prompting. pic.twitter.com/eKHsECjUPw

Is that model’s guesses split by star-sign?

I think Sagittarians are most at risk, SAGE is taking the Pisces though if anyone still trusts these dice-rolling simulators.

Talking about this sort of thing, astrology and prediction and all that, there’s this ‘news’ story about the Illuminati card game from the 90s, which some say predicted the events now.

https://www.theweek.co.uk/odd-news/106131/card-game-from-the-1990s-predicted-coronavirus

Strangely enough, a week before Princess Diana’s death, I was playing this game with my mate. There was a Diana card, which he had in play, and I killed her off with a Hit and Run – an assassination card which pictured a speeding car…

Also, there’s the card pictured below, which looks familiar, post 9/11…

Maybe Sage should simply draw cards from an Illuminati deck to determine their soothsaying. They’ll be more accurate.

I think you are being very unfair.

To astrologers, that is – they are far more likely to get closer to reality than certain modellers tend to be…

No, it’s going to be a disastrous winter if SAGE are predicting otherwise. Goes to prove their predictions are good once you understand it’s a negative correlation.

I’m worried too. Could be a ‘sunk cost’ scenario. I.e. we have got ‘infections’ down, let’s make sure that they stay down by introducing plan B.

Or Psyops. Let them think it’s ok and then the Boosters do their job and will tell them, sorry you have to lockdown, wear a full face helmet and hop on one leg when you visit the empty supermarket having walked 3 miles because there’s no fuel.

All of this would be have been over 14 months ago if they would just stop meddling. Small summer blip, schools back, natural immunity built, old people released from isolating guidance. Sept 2020. If only we knew back then…….

So we like sage when it agrees with us do we?

No, we don’t respect them at all – but it’s preferable that they come out with things which we agree with than that they follow their usual path of demanding more restrictions!

This discovery explains a lot:

“Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science.

The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312
.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.”

Muzzles, Nazipapiere, jibby-jabbies by the million, and the Gulag Wales ‘case’ rate goes through the roof.
Solution? More Nazipapiere, booster blackmail, more facepants – can’t fail, can it?

I wonder what will happen with the boosters. Heard of 3 more serious adverse reactions this week. One ending in death 10 mins after the shot. If the rate of adverse was as low as is claimed it would be odd to hear of one. I have heard of others before this, one in the family.

My Mum had a bad reaction to the booster, with hindsight she had a reaction in spring too. Affected her breathing (she has asthma), but much worse this time. Given all the stories about reactions I have heard all year, and the fact they seem to get worse with each jab, some will inevitably die. I now know 4 people with bad reactions, three of which ended up seriously ill in hospital.

Could it simply be the cold virus has run its course for now? The koolaid is ineffective, hard to prove it helped. Herd immunity with T cell immunity a little more believable.
