Once the new WHO treaty is passed its game over.
Surely the main story above Is from The Naked Emperor showing the Gov Document bigging up the WHO PPTreaty ! , no time to read it all now as I’m off to work but just caught the paragraph where HMG welcomes Climate change as a health hazard even addressing Tedros Terro ist as DG in an arse licking way !! I think we’ve had it !!!..
I agree.
The tone of this statement, despite it stating the UK will retain it’s sovereignty, means the end of individual sovereignty.
The drive for equity is chilling.
But maybe there is a glimmer of hope. Some African countries don’t like it. Declaring a Monkeypox pandemic turned into damp squib.
If they continue to overplay their hand the people might just ignore.

Freddy, read my post because its the official gov.uk and only one page long.
Yes you are right, with absolutely NO authority government intends to try to sign away our national sovereignty.
What’s really going on?
‘Russia has been reckoning with a demographic crisis since the beginning of the 1990s due to declining birthrates, an aging population, low life expectancy (particularly amongst males of working age), and high emigration levels. Russia’s war in Ukraine has also impacted some aspects of Russian demographics, particularly as men of reproductive and working age are the main Russian demographic fighting in Ukraine. Between 800 to 900 thousand Russians additionally fled the country after the start of the war in February 2022, including up to 700 thousand after Putin’s partial mobilization order in September 2022. A demographic forecast from the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) in October 2023 notably forecasted that Russia’s population will decrease to 138.77 million people by January 1, 2046 and that the rate of natural population decline will exceed 600,000 people per year between 2024-2032, slowing to 400,000 people per year from 2032-2046.’
‘Former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanovis…….(accuses) the Russian government of short-sightedness and of prioritizing political goals over demographic issues. “The main thing that has disenchanted me [in 2019] is the authorities’ complacency about everything,” Kasyanov tells RFE/RL. “The authorities do not want to change anything…. They all admit that we have big problems but no one can do anything about them because Putin cannot bring himself to change either domestic or foreign policy.’
‘[People] aren’t thinking about or planning their lives five or 10 years in advance like they did in the early 2000s, when birthrates started rising again,” he says. “Today we have returned to 1998, when there was a crisis situation and people could only think about their lives day-to-day — what should they do tomorrow? Their planning horizon is no more than one year.’

Still. look on the bright side…that’s more money available for Putin to dish out to all his oddball cronies across Europe……..
Well done Putin and his supporters……..or not really……..
2024 has been designated the Year of the Family in Russia. I’d say that’s a damn sight more healthy than the genderf*ucked Pride Month, school drag queen hours, child abuse gender reassignment tropes and climate suicide being pushed over here, don’t you think?
http://en.kremlin.ru/acts/news/72792
Hear, hear.
Except that 2024 isn’t really a great year for families in Russia, is it?
So it’s not really healthy at all, given that so many Russian families are being destroyed:
‘An organization named the ‘Council of Mothers and Wives’ was set up following the announcement of ‘partial mobilization’. Its goal was to coordinate activities across the country by relatives of those mobilized, including pressuring the authorities to resolve issues such as men being called up illegally or being given faulty equipment.
The council tried to engage directly with Putin but its members were rebuffed.
…….the council was labelled a ‘foreign agent’ in May of this year (2023) and subsequently closed in July.
Connected via social media, a growing informal regional network joined together wives and other relatives of the mobilized. This grassroots movement is united by a simple goal: to secure the return of their loved ones.
On 27 November 2023, ‘The Way Home’ published an ‘appeal to the people’
It notes that Putin has decreed 2024 to be the ‘year of the family’ in Russia – and the bitter irony of this, when ‘wives wail without their husbands, children grow up without their fathers, and many have already become orphans’.
https://nemoskva.net/en/2023/11/27/manifest-obrashhenie-k-narodu-opublikovalo-dvizhenie-put-domoj-kotoroe-vystupaet-za-vozvrashhenie-mobilizovannyh-s-fronta/
‘Tackling the movement is a delicate matter for the Kremlin, says Andrei Kolesnikov, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, based in Moscow. “These wives and mothers are not part of the traditional liberal and urban anti-Kremlin movement. Many of them come from Putin’s core base of support.’
My heart goes out to all families who are losing loved ones in the many ongoing wars, and the response by Russian women is entirely understandable. The response by the Russian govt is equally understandable – note I do NOT say acceptable – given the level of censorship and authoritarian control being rolled out globally. It could readily be compared to the silence and pushback in the West received by the vaccine damaged/killed and subsequent destruction of the family and incomes, or to the unvaccinated being labelled ‘enemies of the state’ (which we undeniably were). But in any event, a Year of the Family is still a healthier concept than perverse ideological indoctrination leading to mutilating surgery and sterilising drug therapy of minors, no? Can’t see the Uni Party doing anything like it over here any time soon, it would upset the alphabet minority too much and ruin their ESG scores.
The batty and dangerous promotion to children in this country of ‘gender dysphoria’, a real problem for a vanishingly small number of people (0.005–0.014% of the population for biological males and 0.002–0.003% for biological females) is, of course, an outrage, an absolute disgrace.
‘The year of the family’ in 2024 Russia is, as Russian families themselves state, bitterly ironic when so many more Russian children will become orphans in 2024 as a consequence of the madness of Putin’s war.

Given what has happened these last four years and the deaths that will continue to occur in coming years it is difficult not to conclude that in reality this government are actually pushing this installation more as a marker – we are doing it once again – than as a memorial. When survivors of the death camps object we owe it to them to call a halt to what can only be a grotesque and grotesquely expensive vanity project.
One hundred and forty million? Another reason these degenerats polishing seats in Westminster, albeit only occasionally, need evicting promptly.

I posted this last night on the Canadian thread which is from Gov.uk. And this comment:
“And here the downright lying UK government confirming they have signed us up to the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and naturally the revised International Health Regulations.
Sovereignty be damned.
That’s 630 in the H of C and about 800 in the H of L that will be receiving their P45’s soonish.”
Probably the most disturbing news in all of the seriously disturbing last four years. This is the formal announcement that the government intends to surrender our national sovereignty. Which of course makes all of them redundant.
Ladies and gentlemen this is our Hill.

The correct course of action – BOYCOTT.
One has to ask if this is deliberate race-baiting by the Globe by bringing attention to it and if so, for what reason? If the actress is good had the acting chops to inhabit the role, the colour of her skin shouldn’t make any difference to the performance. This is not the Jada Pinkett version of Cleopatra based on someone’s granny’s opinion, this is Shakespeare, where Olivier has played Othello, for god’s sake. Continuing to import USA-style critical race theory and spurious ‘white privilege’ to the UK is insanity.
FWIW, I saw an all-black version of Hamlet at the Barbican once, it was rather good. Don’t remember seeing any ‘racial sensitivity’ signs up about it though.
“deliberate race-baiting by the Globe”
I suspect you are right.
Win win.
If there is a fuss and a boycott we are all racist neanderthals. If there is no kickback their propaganda has been successful.

What we thought was a free country evaporated four years ago.
Free speech? Thank God for the FSU but what in itself an indictment of the lack of free speech in this country.
Rule of Law – an absolute lottery. Justice? Not much of that about any longer.
And to cap it all we have a treasonous parliament which will shortly be signing it’s own death warrant when the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and the International Health Regulations Treaties are signed in a few weeks.

Gen Z staff ‘miss a day’s work a week due to mental health’
Mental health has changed since my general practice days. I’ve known mental illness cause struggles in daily life until it put people off sick for weeks, months or even permanently. I’ve never known it lead to occasional days off.
I read the Gen X chapter of Jean Twenge’s book on the generations yesterday.
One observations was:
Gen X is the generation that bridges a generation for whom nothing is trauma with one for whom everything is trauma.
“I’ve never known it lead to occasional days off.”
Usually Friday or Monday. The long weekend. It’s very stressful.
“Misogynoir” – you cast a black women into a white role and then blame the playwrite for racism. Presumably they will next cast a man as Cleopatra and then call Shakespeare homophobic.
It seems to me that if the Globe has created a racist play out of nothing by their casting, they should be boycotted as initiators of hate-speech. Or maybe a visit from the thought-police would give them a non-crime record to celebrate.
I couldn’t agree more.
Ooh, I’d like to see them try the homophobic trope, given that men played all parts when the plays were written! (First known Shakespearean women actresses not until 1660s.)

I love this photo, it encapsulates everything that is rank, rotten, fetid and diseased amongst the political class of this country. A nominal party leader with little between his ears who has never managed an original thought in his entire life and who has achieved a prominence beyond any measure of merit and by his side a single mother.
Yes, Ranting as she is nicknamed up North, who desecrates Parliament the moment her foot steps over the threshold – crude, vulgar, uneducated , a massive fistule on the rotting remnants of our body politic.
This is indeed a photograph of our time. A symbol of a once great country brought to its knees by avarice, jealousy greed and hatred.
Kneel and Ranting. A couple for our time.
They’re also silent when Chris Packham tosses out “climate collapse” on Winterwatch, thus contradicting the whole premise of the programme. I’ll believe in climate collapse when we get Autumnwatch in January bemoaning the earliness of the daffodils.
Ha – spotted a couple of patches of daffs and snowdrops just coming into bloom in a couple of sheltered spots hereabouts yesterday. How seasonally appropriate, I thought.
Scanning the headlines of the feeds above and it is just noise, bleating, distraction on symptoms, which is precisely what the administrative state wants us to waste our energy on.
Time for focus, coordinated action, direct democracy, local opposition.
No more talk.
Agree. It’s easy for us to get lost in the weeds. Better to go back to the big picture. Ivor Cummins is good on this eg recent discussion with Dr Malik. We don’t know all the details but TPTB have a long game, indoctrinating the masses and enslaving us. It’s all in the Rockerfeller archive as researched by Jacob Nordengard. They seek to control us by fear of global threats and manufacture distractions like Ukraine and Gaza conflicts to keep us confused and alienated from one another.
