The knife attack on a village ball in Crépol in the south of France which took the life of 16-year-old Thomas Perrotto and left two other partygoers in critical condition last weekend has been described as a “terror attack” (attentat) by attendees. The incident has been commonly described as a “brawl” (rixe) in French mainstream media, with the implication that it was sparked by some prior dispute. But attendees and their families adamantly reject this description, insisting on the fact that the assailants – teenagers and young adults like their victims – came armed and presumably with the intention of using their weapons.
The French regional newspaper the Dauphiné Libéré visited Crépol the day after the attack to talk with some 20 youngsters, aged 16 to 18, who witnessed the attack. Some of them were accompanied by their mothers. “Some media are saying that it was a brawl or payback,” one mother told the newspaper. “That’s not true! We can’t let them say that!”
The Dauphiné article provides the account of one young partygoer who was himself wounded in the attack:
We were having fun, we were with friends, having a good time together, and towards the end [of the ball], some people turned up. I heard there was a ruckus outside, people were crowded together. I went out and I was stabbed with a knife in the shoulder and in the back. I saw my friend Thomas get stabbed, I got scared and went back into the ballroom. I saw another friend of mine get stabbed in the back, I put pressure on his wound to make a tourniquet. His kidney was hit. It was horrifying. For me, it was clearly a terror attack [attentat]. The assailants said: “We’re here to stab white people.”
A second young man confirmed this account:
It wasn’t just a fight like we’re used to, where people throw little punches at each other. We all went to village balls this summer. In a good ball, there’s always a fight at the end. Otherwise, it’s not a good ball. But it wasn’t like that. We saw between 15 and 20 people turn up. We didn’t know them. They pulled out knives. They were there to kill. We experienced it as a terror attack!
The local affiliate of France3 public television gathered similar testimony in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Maxence, a friend of Thomas, described the violence as gratuitous:
A bouncer had his fingers and wrist slashed. One of my classmates was stabbed with a knife. My best friend [Thomas] being given CPR. It’s the worst feeling in the world.
A mother described her children’s reaction:
Their first words were: there’s blood everywhere. It was all over his clothes. It was a slaughter. It was a gratuitous attack… we don’t understand.
The racial or ethnic aspect evoked in some of this testimony has been treated gingerly or not at all in the French national media. (Though an interview with Thomas’s mother in the mass-circulation French weekly Paris-Match cites concordant testimony.) The assailants are reported to have mostly come from the housing projects of la Monnaie, a troubled neighbourhood in nearby Romans-sur-Isère with a large population of North African Arab origins.
This is undoubtedly what inspired the local Islamic Association of Romans to issue a statement to the Dauphiné libéré condemning the attack. It reads in part:
We are father, mother, brother, sister, we are residents of Romans, residents of the surrounding villages and it is for all these reasons that we are deeply affected by the attack which led to the death of Thomas and has given rise to so much sorrow for his family and his friends. … As representatives of the Muslim religious community, but also as actors involved in the life of our city, we strongly condemn these despicable acts which led to the death of a young man who was barely 16.
In the meanwhile, the Dauphiné libéré has released extensive audio of its encounter with the young people who lived through that Crépol attack. The youngsters’ testimony is harrowing. Many of them, especially the young women, are sobbing as they recount the experience.
Echoing the first, the second young man quoted above explicitly states, “I clearly heard the phrase, word for word: ‘We’re here to kill white people.'”
All of the youngsters emphasise that there was no dispute, no background to the attack, no ‘payback’: that they did not even know the assailants. Again and again, they use the word attentat – the French term for a terror attack – to describe what transpired. They describe taking refuge inside the ballroom while the ‘slaughter’, as they put it, continued outside; they describe the guards or bouncers who had been hired for the evening insisting that they stay inside, even as some wanted to go back out to help their fallen comrades; they describe seeing the floors and walls covered in the blood of those who had already been wounded.
Asked how the ‘slaughter’ finally came to an end, one young man responds simply: “They finished what they came to do.”

The NHS has been ‘overwhelmed’ every winter for as long as I can remember. The only difference this year is that they’re blaming Covid instead of influenza or it being a bit cold.
Hopkin said the same thing to Marr on the BBC in 2016.
9 years at Granada (ITV), 6 years at HMRC, 2 years at Dept. of Education and 9 years at Chief Exec. of NHS Providers. Can you get any more deep state civil servant than that?
Its all planned as usual. They are all working themselves up to lock us up knowing full well that this week always has the highest mortality of the year. They will then claim, once again, that they saved us and the stupid public are too immersed in football, Corrie and Auld Lang Syne to understand what is going on – thats if they even really care.
You left off the 4 years at the SDP, apparently becoming Party Chief Executive.
6 years at HMRC – have any of you ever tried to get hold of anyone with a brain at HMRC since they were merged from the Inland Revenue and HM Customs? Absolutely useless; as Nickbowes mentioned these types are just parasites, producing nothing of value and then being promoted upwards as a consequence of the ineptitude.
Public Service always works on promoting the most useless. Good staff are put upon and thwarted all the time.
A nice earner was running the Post Office. All the opportunities for wrongful persecution and prosecutions, and a gong at the finish.
See the blog ‘HMRC is Shite’ by Ken Frost (chartered accountant). The title is absolutely accurate.
Running a business, I had to deal with the bastards. People on PAYE don’t know how lucky they are.
As a fellow chartered accountant, working in industry for 40 years, I know exactly how Ken feels, and yourself.
There’s a reason they don’t teach taxes in schools… Yet the system entirely depends on the individual to pay their taxes correctly – and don’t go thinking people on PAYE are lucky. It totally depends on their financial circumstances.
And all the while filling their pockets courtesy of taxpayers in the productive, wealth producing part of the economy
Yes, and a definition of ‘overwhelmed’ would also be helpful, given how frequently the word is bandied about.
The definition of ‘overwhelmed’ is spending thirty years slowly cutting the bed capacity in half while the population grew by ten million.
I guess the key question is: has there been an aggregate improvement or deterioration in overall health across the population, and what changes in treatments requiring beds or not & length of stay have there been to determine the change in the number of beds needed?
Demanding private healthcare-style conditions and having militant unions to hold us to ransom are luxuries – they refuse to accept ‘not ideal’ Ts&Cs as standard tandoori, which most normal humans have to.
Overwhelmed is canting hypocrisy for normality.
Yep!
With the massive booster campaign underway, I wonder how many of those being hospitalised with ‘Omicron are, in fact, presenting with adverse reactions to the jab.
“The Government needs to be ready to introduce tighter restrictions, at real speed, should they be needed.”
They won’t be, they never were.
Yes they will – just take a look at the range of symptoms……
I’m proper terrified now! I’ve got all that, plus everything except housemaid’s knee.
That’s one benefit of vacuuming while hanging upside down
Dandruff and hairy ears also been added to list now.
I’ve got housemaid knee, does that help?
Yes it will help, but you will have to share a bed with Annie.
Well; I can handle that. And Annie says so can she.
Half their staff are on a jolly ffs!
When these often useless nhs parasites forego their huge salaries with every day of restrictions maybe the people would listen, but that ship has sailed now thank God.
Who the hell is Chris Hopson, Chief Executive of NHS Providers? Who voted for him and why should I value his opinion?
https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-hopson-6a666333/details/experience/
And the 666 in the url is apt.
The masons and other occultists favourite, 333, is there too. Probably just a coincidence.
I hear that if you hang upside down it even says 999 ! Apparently something happens if you dial this into you phone.
So they’re a lobby group. What many people don’t seem to know that since 2017 people can no longer check who their donors are (ie, which pharma companies, etc). Something that needs to be bought back – Charities will not have to name donors, says SORP Committee (civilsociety.co.uk)
He’s an APE (Apparatchik Parasite Executive), 3rd class. Iron Kross, but only with bronze syringes as an honour clasp.
NERVTAG? Whiff of breath, eh? So we’re still at garlic and crucifix mentality stage are we?
Johnson is not in charge. He has created a Bullshit Behemoth, and is now incapable of wiping his own ass without guidance from SS Dentists.
Turning point, Toby? Either the people overthrow this Kraken State, or they accept being gang-raped for eternity.
Remember, we’re here for the benefit of the NHS (pbuh).
Once again, a health service with a country attached, they are not fit for purpose
One detail which has escaped me throughout the entire pandemic is why cannot people who are worried about falling ill from Covid just restrict themselves? Why do they need the government to give them an order to restrict themselves? And why is seemingly nobody asking such questions?
Said it since the beginning, its pathetic. But still dont think they would trash the economy for a few people who think they are vulnerable.
“trash the economy”
Agenda 2030 – “Build Back Better.”
Of course the economy will be trashed.
And of course the elephant in the room, depopulation.
And, by now you would have thought that those ‘at risk’ might have been advised as to what symptoms to look out for so that they could call the medical authorities who would send round a team of trained medics to give out preventive medicines and a blood oximeter and instructions on what to do.
But we aren’t Uttar Pradesh, more is the pity.
Because these people do not want to be restricted, they want to do everything that they normally do, they just want to feel ‘safe’ doing it – they believe everyone else should be restricted. The government did a bang-up job turning people against each other with the ‘you wear masks to protect others’, ‘assume everyone around you is infected’, ‘don’t be selfish and fall ill and make use of a universal health care service to which you are forced to contribute, as it is not there to treat just anybody, only those deemed worthy’.
The number of times I heard people go into a city centre, or the woods for a walk, to the beach on a nice day and complain about the number of people there, did they not know to avoid crowded places, etc. They were perfectly happy to go there themselves, it was other people who were being selfish and not staying home.
A friend told me her boss was discussing the possible introduction of 2g at work and asking how people felt. One woman said she was immunocompromised and couldn’t risk catching the lurgy, so she would feel safer if the unvaxxed stayed home. Huh? She’s vaxxed, so supposedly protected, but even then – if she’s immonocompromised, presumably there are many other bugs that could cause her harm, does she genuinely assume everyone else should stay home to keep her safe? Not that maybe she should consider staying home?
I live in a high-rise with a Club Level. I could see exactly how this shitshow was going to go when the old farts who manage the building immediately closed that level to everyone ‘to protect the vulnerable.’ “Why don’t the vulnerable just not use it?” I naively asked.
In March 2020 Spain went into a ridiculously strict lockdown for 3 months, people were not allowed out to even have a walk, if you took your dog out you could only go 150 metres from your home (they checked your address).
I remember reading in some Spanish paper that children in apartment buildings had been playing in either the inner courtyard (most Spanish city blocks have these) or on the terrace roof of an apartment building – and some tossers in the buildings called the police! Just because a couple of kids were getting fresh air, sunshine and stretching their legs. How selfish can you get.
Selfish is bad enough, but selfish dressed up as sanctimonious self-righteousness is disgusting
Lunacy 21 months ago, normalcy today.
We are being slowly boiled alive.
We can pack up and leave them to it, taking our share of this country with us.

I do feel that its a great shame that none of these incompetents get fired. I could put up a list of reasons as to why they should be, but I can’t be bothered. Happy New Year to you all, and thank you for being here.
It’s far worse than that. They won’t get fired and there’s every likelihood that we’ll see their names included in the Queen’s New Years Honours list in the morning. After all, they’re only doing what the government has asked…
Omicron? It’s the common cold!
Not even that bad.
Just fuck off. I’m not giving up my mental health for you Mr NHS.
Flurona, the new variant?
Virus panic: First case of ‘flurona’- Covid and flu merge to form horror double infection (msn.com)
Happy New Year All…
Oh FFS!!!! The article says they have both pathogens present – just like if were tested for every known pathogen I’d be carrying loads of them. Our bodies are reservoirs of the stuff all the time. This bat shit crazy approach to illness just shows how dumb most scientists, politicians and journo’s are. I’m going to leave Fraser Nelson out of it for now because at least he’s caught the even dumber Sage members off guard.
Influenza and Rhinovirus both suppress coronavirus.
Even the BBC owned up to it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56483445
Absolutely desperate stuff. The DS is great but the recent piece on Bo Jo being pro liberty that came out a few days ago is naive at best. Fasten your seatbelts folks.
Agreed. Toby jumped the gun (for a race that may only start in a few years). Bless him, we all get it wrong from time to time. And we will all be wrong in some ways for some time yet.
It’s all lies.
So…here’s a question for all the silly competitive boys who want to be more scientific than the scientists, and more expert than the experts, somewhat as if they’re watching a football match on the telly: what is the false positive rate (1 minus the sensitivity if you want to sound grand) for the main SARSCoV2 test or tests that sheeple are taking?
Star, you always have a lot of excellent detail. It’s but sand in the faces of covidian elephants.
I fear nothing rational can ever penetrate their tough, brainwashed, hides.
From what I can see. The false positive rate for the LFT test is pretty low. It would actually be a good test for symptomatic people if SARS-CoV-2 was of high consequence, which it isn’t.
The PCR is another matter. I think it is hard to put a figure on the false positive rate because it is proportional to how busy the labs are, and also explodes as the number actual positive samples reach a critical mass in the labs (since the test is so sensitive and the labs so sloppy that a few genuine positive samples cause massive cross-contamination).
A couple of questions… where is the evidence that restrictions actually work, and what has the government been doing since last year to help the NHS be more capable (not just throwing money at it).
From what I read about lockdowns they do sod all to affect the path of the virus.
But the restrictions are excellent for destroying SME, demoralising the entire population, causing division and allowing so-called democratic governments to grab unprecedented powers based on what any fool could see are outright lies and utter nonsense – at least, the fools would see it if they hadn’t decided to tuck their brains up their backsides 2 years ago and to sit on them keeping them warm ever since.
Spot on.
The principal goal was getting people to accept the injections, either for reasons we’ll quite soon discover, or – and, in this case, they made a phenomenally bad choice of injectile – as the enabler for digital Id.
Covid and its variants is a mental health condition
Exactly. And there is no cure for many sufferers.
But we can leave the asylum!

A couple of years before this started the Australian aborigines said that a change was coming and it would start with a run on toilet paper in the supermarkets. There would be a parting of the ways whereby one group of people would be transported to a really boring dull planet and the others would ascend to something higher. This will become more apparent I believe in the coming months.
Can we go there now please?
The struggle is part of the ascension. We are as yet just beginning to perceive the shortcomings of our civilisation. The Chinese curse – may you live through interesting times – you have to grasp this with both hands and taste the whip. Our happy new planet will be nothing if it lacks intensity.
Yes please: I’ve been trying all the wardrobes I can for two years now, but still no Narnia…
We can commence constructing heaven on Earth.

Ironically the parting of the ways turned out to be a covid camp.
Only if we let it!
https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
Aaahhhh, we’re back to that dreaded “mingling” again.
I’ve been modelling. Am I missing something but say 180,000 detected cases and say 10 x undetected – say 2m overall active cases – isn’t the NHS just pissing in the wind pretending that further measures can halt the spread of the deadly virus? Once we’ve all had the deadly virus and live happily ever after with heard immunity whatever are the ‘expurts’ going to say.
I remember so specifically in Feb/March 2020 Johnson, Merkel, Dutch PM Rutte saying quite clearly and unequivocally that the virus was all over the world and had spread in almost all countries and that everyone would eventually get it, the possibility of containment was no longer an option.
The initial restrictions were to ‘flatten the curve’ nothing more. Fortunately for them most people have the memories of goldfish and believe them when they now say they can ‘control / beat’ the virus, even as every expert going says it’s here to stay.
Yes, I remember that too. The vaccine makers also have claimed in interviews that the vaccines were developed in Jan 2020… yet throughout Feb 2020 the WHO were still attacking those who called for border controls, saying these would promote stigma and mean comments.
Scare the older generation who read the Guardian, so they repeat it to their children and guilt them into compliance, and so on down the generations.
It’s a really effective UK tactic thus far.
Sadly the children in professions which require you to be data literate, which there are many now, are able to see through it just by looking at the data. Ask my parents what a 95th percentile is and they wouldn’t have a clue.
This might give an indication of the direction we’re heading in the next few years:
Netherlands Announces Plan To Give People Up to Six Doses of COVID Vaccine
Omnicon isn’t the reason for tighter fascism. It’s the excuse.
Tell ’em to take a running jump.
WHY????????
I think the reasoning is that if you survive five number six will definitely kill you:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-numbers-killed-by-these-vaccines-is-much-worse-than-what-we-thought-dr-sucharit-bhakdi-mike-yeadon/5765883
If we stay amongst the believers, I doubt we’ve very long before they’ll start forcibly “vaccinating” us, for their protection. We need to agree a civilised separation, before their boosted mortality rate instils sufficient fear to deprive them of their last vestiges of rationality.
Toby’s calming words, about the heroic, libertarian, Johnson, are not going to save us.
https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
Flailing about astonished that so many still hang on their every word. The reason that people do so is because it is easy. We are moving into a time where ideas like ease, luxury, a few relaxed years of retirement – these will be utterly laughable. You either learn now or get a very short sharp shock later on.
If this was once a “politician’s logic”, I think we can now call this “clown logic”. If NHS trust hospitals are starting to feel any kind of strain, it’s because of the backlog of patients waiting for deferred treatment, undiagnosed conditions that have only got worse because of a lack of face-to-face GP appointments, staff shortages owing to an absurdly long isolation period for test-positives, unnecessarily high volumes of admin, too many managers and not enough doctors. Oh yes, and there’s the small matter of virtually nothing having been done during the easier summer period to prepare for the predictable winter surge!
IT IS NOT OMICRON (or Delta) that is potentially going to overwhelm the hospitals, especially since the number of hospitalizations due to Covid is grossly overestimated.
It just works as a convenient scapegoat for the NHS if it does fail, and once again an excuse for tighter restrictions.
Don’t make the mistake of describing this as “clown logic”.
This isn’t stupidity that’s happening. What’s happening is full-blown and very well-planned tyranny with a well published genocidal bent.
Ask the people in Australia who are at this moment confined in camps for close contact – non-COVID-19 infected. It wasn’t clowns that put them there. It was very intelligent psychopaths.
Break from the psychopaths and the believers, before it’s too late.
https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
What’s described in both quotes have already happened in Australia. Oz has shown the US that throwing close contact people (non-COVID-19 infected) into camps will be accepted by the masses.
Just sit back and watch them do the same in US states. And, apart from objections in the alt-media, they’ll do it unopposed.
This tyranny is global. Anyone that thinks that this could never happen in the UK are very wrong.
The Coronavirus Act 2020 already enabled this here. It hasn’t been used yet, because the masses hadn’t quite been “nudged” to welcome the implementation, but, when they start dropping like flies, because of their boosters, that box will soon be ticked.
We won’t have the time to awaken enough of them. Those of us, who know what’s happening, must instigate a hard Covexit, immediately.
https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
The NHS needs to be dismantled and public healthcare reorganised.
It has become an all consuming behemoth that now expects the country to serve it, rather than it serve the country.
It happens with all bureaucracies to some extent, but the NHS is the mother of all bureaucracies – one of the 5 biggest employers in the entire world. It needs to go so that we can be taken out of our misery.
Whilst everybody has been distracted by the scamdemic and the latest scariant, along with all the associated nonsense that sums up this self inflicted disaster, certain things have been going somewhat unnoticed by most…
The sale of petrol cars banned in 8 years time… from next year, new cars to be sold with speed controllers and covered in surveillance devices, and ultimately able to report where people go and how they drove (the way to extract tax from travel that does not involve purchasing petrol, and easily extract fines for misbehaviour), and a government minister recently having the nerve to talk about the need to move away from private vehicles.
One of the last bastions of freedom we still have and really brings the prospect of total, centralised control. All under a tory government. We are governed by pseudo religious nutters who believe there are too many people, that the end is nigh, and that white people, especially males, are vermin. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Ask yourself this: in history, what sort of action was required to deal with such scum?
There are two answers.
Either a sufficient majority recognises what’s going on, and robustly rejects it, or those, who do, separate. Both have historical precedence. However, we’ve been working to achieve the first, for almost two years, and still cannot be confident of succeeding in time. The second, accordingly, is now crying out for our attention.

“We cannot insure success, but we can deserve it.” – John Adams
Random musings from my sick bed. What do we think of the assertion that is now being touted that ‘you don’t have a right to infect other people – therefore you must get tested before meeting up’?
It concerns me greatly that what used to be an accepted risk of being part of human society is no longer accepted or acceptable. Insisting on healthy people testing themselves before joining a night out smacks to me of mental illness.
Didn’t it used to be called Munchausen’s syndrome?
Being actually ill this week has meant that I have swerved one of these gatherings of the mentally infirm this evening!
That is one of many principles that have been flipped in the last 2 years.
Before, you used to be healthy unless it was demonstrated otherwise. Now you are sick unless you demonstrate otherwise.
Before, masks had no utility as a public health measure. Now, they are vital to containing the spread of disease.
Before, you chose if you had a medical treatment, Now, you can be forced and if not discriminated for not submitting to a medical treatment.
Before, you didn’t need to prove to anyone whether you were healthy or sick, it was your business. Now, you may be asked to prove you are healthy.
Before, even if you were sick you could carry on with your life if you so chose. Now, if you are sick the government can force you into house arrest.
These changes are essentially a shift from a free society to a totalitarian one. And it literally happened overnight, on 19th March 2020 when Johnson put the entire population under house arrest. From that moment onwards, anything they wanted to do with us was going to be accepted. And here we are.
SPI-B has been steadily “nudging” a majority into the “new normal”.
As a (significant) minority, those of us, who still retain the previously common ideals of liberty, need to separate from the new majority, before this becomes any harder.
https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
‘you don’t have a right to infect other people – therefore you must get tested before meeting up’?
it’s related to the evolution of so-called ‘hate-speech laws’ isn’t it?
All my life, it’s been a generally-accepted part of normal society to frown on people being offensive (or hateful) for the sake of it. The same for people who are knowingly contagious doing things that will likely infect others.
but for the crypto-fascists this was/is not enough. Moral opprobrium therefor makes way to having the state crush behavior it deems improper, and there is no good way for that to end.
“What do we think of the assertion that is now being touted that ‘you don’t have a right to infect other people – therefore you must get tested before meeting up’?”
I have heard this recently from an acquaintance – I said if that was his logic, he best never, ever ever go near another human being again, after all, he might be killing somebody with asymptomatic tuberculosis, or asymptomatic norovirus.
I also pointed out – so on the one hand, we’re supposed to believe that ‘ICU’s are filling with covid patients… NHS on the verge of being overwhelmed… tsunami of unvaccinated covid patients fighting for their lives…’ while on the other hand, we’re also simultaneously supposed to believe that covid is so silent and nondescript that you won’t have the slightest idea you are on the verge of death with it, & therefore have to take a test every time you go more than 15 paces. well, which is it?
That’s one of the very strange features of the illness called COVID-19: It’s the first illness on this planet which is extremely dangerous to everyone except those who get it.
Brilliant.
Like everything-corona, it’s inherently bullshit. People don’t infect people, viruses infect people and there’s nothing people can do about that. Their bodies become infected without their consent or knowledge. And viruses replicating in their bodies might infect others without them having any power to control it.
Someone who tests negative now could test positive the next second. There are no security guarantees associated with past test results. The only guaranteed effect is that a positive test result will contribute to driving the pandemic machinery.
Why is there never any consideration of anomalous data. For example some remote Antactic research station has an outbreak despite no contact with the outside world. Why were the initial major outbreaks in China and Italy and Iran on similar latitudes. The very fact that these things are occluded tells you that scientists really ought to study the philosophy of science as a prerequisite. In Norway a philosophy component forms part of the foundation of a degree course.
Every year we have this bullshit from the NHS! How about managing it properly instead of restricting our lives. It’s like a fucking religion!
F*** off!
This is a panic over tests – medics were overwhelmed by a pseudo epidemic of whooping cough way back in 2007. If only they ha d listened to Kary Mullis.

Hopson says the NHS is preparing for a surge “right now.” Given that they have been doom-mongering this BS for twelve months, at least, the only correct conclusion is that this useless twat should be sacked. If we accept his reasoning he has failed to do his job.
Accepting his logic I would go further and he should be in court for malfeasance in public office.
For most on here though this wind up has FA to do with rNHS only about further eroding the health of the nation and stirring misery.
He can rot in hell.
Forever
Event 201 was the rehearsal for the means to the end.
If you persist in following this narrative then you will be manipulated in accordajnce with the vicissitudes of the system. This is a real problem with British consciousness, the goldfish bowl mentality. If you follow this situation closely on an international level then you can clearly see that we are on the right side and that it won’t be long before this is widely acknowledged. Don’t get sucked into the despair of an island nation where the fuckwits are in charge. This is a very superficial reality. For fucks sake they don’t even believe their own bollocks and we have had this shown to us many times.
And where are we going to get the staff for the Nightingales? We are struggling at the moment because of the crazy testing regime. Please note that most people isolating are triple jabbed. Not to worry though, unjabbed workers like myself will continue to do the best we can as long as we are allowed.
There is a danger that discourse in a group like this one becomes a feedback loop whereby the same tropes are met with the same astonishment over and over again. I think there comes a point where it is safe to acknowledge that the discussion has moved on. That there are the opinions of some of the most accomplished people in the world and there is the view of the corporations. Is it really impossible to admit this truth? The University of Basel published a report which identified an entity that they called ‘the network of corporate control’. Has control of approximately 50 percent of the world’s assets and operates on a centralised basis.
Peter Philips’ 2018 Book ‘Giants, the Global Power Elite’ is quite good at documenting who owns and runs the world. The usual suspects, basically.
I’ve just had a conversation with a friend who thinks jab mandates won’t succeed in the UK because we’re more libertarian than most other countries. Also he says 10% of the population, especially lower-income groups, wouldn’t be able to use a smartphone constantly in the way the WEF anticipates.
In my view 5% of the population may give up a smartphone to thwart such a system. Or else, in my case they’ve had a large screen on their desk for 35-40 years, and can’t see the value in a pathetically small screen … hence they use a basic-type mobile to make calls when away from the house/office.

Efficiency is an interesting god, You run your system on the bare minimum for the sake of efficiency knowing that the slightest external pressure would send it over the edge. This is insane in my view. There was a study conducted in the 1980s which considered the impact of a thermonuclear device on one British city and it concluded that such an event would overwhelm the health service, and back then it was more adequately resourced. You can’t run a society this way for long.
Remember the days when the fleckless UK regime scorned other countries on their lack of democratic process? I wonder what they would have said about a nation being coerced, bullied and literally murdered/injured by the medical service they all pay for.
Exactly what I’ve said about the Dutch government. If there were ever a country that was symbolised by the wagging finger of disapproval, it’s NL, always lecturing other countries about human rights, big song and dance every May, never forget and all that.
And now we have a minister of health engaging in hate speech against the unvaxxed, a caretaker government hiding critical documents regarding the apartheid app from parliament (being ‘careful’ with the truth is the whole reason the cabinet had to resign last January), violating the constitution and human rights treaties numerous times, bullying dissenting voices and in essence in all cases hounding them out of the party/parliament/advisory roles. Disgusted by the lot of them – and am thoroughly enjoying the rather inordinate amount of fireworks being set off right this moment – even though the government prohibited them for the second year running. Law enforcement said they weren’t going to be doing very much enforcing tonight
Very good. All the best for the new year – let’s hope the non-compliance spills over to such an extent that the authorities across the whole of Europe can not cope and are forced to give up this scam.
Hope and non-compliance are our strongest assets.
No we, collectively, are our greatest asset, but we need to sweat that asset by acting collectively. We don’t, I fear, own even half of the country, but we own more than enough to get by very nicely.
Hope will fade, coincident with non-compliance becoming ever harder cracked down upon, as the masses are subdued by fear.

Step one, get those who are at home without symptoms (ie, don’t have the disease just the virus).
You should never tell someone to brace if you mean them well. Bracing generally has a very negative effect. Far better to absorb. Just the way they try to manipulate consciousness with their words.
The purpose of the NHS is to serve the people. It’s not the other way round. If the NHS can’t do that, it’s not fit for purpose and ought to be dismantled. I’m not paying taxes in the UK to enable Chris Hopson & NHS Providers to boss me around as they see fit for their own convenience. Actually, no one who pays into the NHS budget does that because a National House Arrest Service would be needed for anything.
It’s time the nhs was scrapped. Everyone should then have a reduction in income tax and use the saving to buy very good private healthcare with the added benefit of not having to be locked down forevermore just do that the hospitals staff can avoid doing any work.
They have that in the USA and the situation there isn’t generally better. Health services provided by multinational megacorp brings all the drawbacks of an overarching, largely self-serving bureacaracy plus the added issue of profiteering explicitly being the only goal.
The principle behind the NHS is sound and it has worked well for a long time. It’s just the new-age lifestyle consultants, PR professionals, management experts and woke politicians who have to be driven out.
They will get that needle into you one way or another even if it means setting fire to everything.Their desire to inject is powerful and they will do so by any means necessary.
I am looking forward to the knock on the door!
I agree all of that avid watching of ‘video nasties’ in the 1980s finally come to fruition. In a few weeks time barely anyone is going to feel healthy enough to do anything. The drop off in energy of all kinds will be remarkable. Pure blood semen will be worth its weight in gold.
I fear you are quite right. The regime will continue to control the masses with fear, aided substantially with the fatality rate of the “boosters”. It can then efficiently pick off the remainder of us, in its own time.
This is why we need to break away, rather sharpish.

There is an interesting nexus point between a health service and increased longevity in a population. They have already dramatically reduced life expectancy. If you were born between 1945 and 1965 then you need to pay particular attention to global affairs. In their minds the liabilities simply cannot be met the assets were removed long ago..
They are all fucking commies
Once again the ‘scientists’ make calls above their pay grade. They can fυck off and expect attempts to restrict my freedoms to be met with violence.
Instead of the NHS Chief feeling utterly ashamed and falling on his sword for the whole diabolical mess, he sounds as if he is revelling in it
Is anyone else concerned that the two antivirals we are likely to be prescribed in the UK, Molnupiravir and Paxlovid, both turn out to not be particularly safe – certainly not as safe as ivermectin or fluvoxamine. Molnupiravir (Merck) is dangerously mutagenic, and Paxlovid (Pfizer) is bundled with an HIV/AIDS drug (Ritonavir) that causes life-threatening heart, liver, and pancreas disease.

Dr Peter McCullough December 21 st, 2021 – Medical Care in the Most Severely Ill with COVID-19

Plenty of discussion especially in last 20 minutes on various treatments including @48:27
His guest Dr. Paul Marik: vitamin D potently reduces risk of getting and dying of COVID-19… it seems that if you get your vitamin D level above 50 [US measure?] your chances of getting COVID are reduced to almost zero (the data suggest)… the problem is that if you take oral vitamin D it takes days … weeks to activate to the active form. So mainly preventive, less effective in the acute setting / hospitalised.
I am not concerned because I won’t be fuckin having them.
For some reason, the pronouncements of Hopson boil my piss more than anyone else in this shitshow. A career civil servant who’s never missed a payday in his life or used a strange shithouse without getting instructions in triplicate first.
Fuck off and leave us alone.
He needs to concentrate on sorting out the covid obsessed NHS instead of politicking for lockdowns and ruining peoples lives.
He’s no mandate for pushing public heath policy anywhere, only the elected politicians have that.
I reckon they have worked out when the natural virus progression (the Gompertz curve) inflexion point will be, when it will start naturally declining, and introduce measures just before, so they can claim the measures worked. Thinking people however know the truth.
Unfortunately they might actually believe that their interfering worked which then reinforces it in their compromised minds.
Rain dances were taken seriously for the same reason.
The other thing is you’ll see tests, cases and all other figures fall quickly now that new years passed.
Everybody will stop the mad testing now there’s nothing do for the next 3 months.
Give it a couple of weeks and Boris holding his nerve and we should be ok.
Plus with 99% having had Omicron (Gov figures) infection will now wane reasonably quickly.
Why?
“Tighter restrictions”. For what? A three day cold? People please wake up, you are being lied to. Why would this government want to destroy lives, businesses, the country with “tighter restrictions”? Think about it, for let’s say a second. Does it make any sense to destroy your citizens, businesses and country, for a cold virus? Something is seriously wrong folks.
Hopson was a director of HMRC when I had the misfortune to be an employee. He is one of Mark Higgie’s ‘Shonky Retreads’ and should be ignored.
