America’s first elected trans lawmaker is charged with stomach-churning child porn offences ‘after daycare worker girlfriend sent naked photos of toddlers in her care’”
This demographic does seem rather prone to being involved in child sex perversions. I wonder if there’s any connection..?
Not at all. This person can’t help it if God not only put Them in the wrong body, but on the wrong planet, where people don’t get married in infancy.
“Nuclear Energy’s Moment Has Come”
They’ll be telling us that bears defecate in the woods next..!
I do agree that nuclear has a part to play but, it has its own skeletons as everyone knows, I’m afraid it will never be the be all and end all in power production
There are no solutions, only trade offs
To quote the great Thomas Sowell
Exactly, it has a part to play!
“BBC Climate Editor back home… from 1,800-mile Spain jaunt by plane – where he blamed heatwave on carbon emissions here”
I didn’t see Mr Rowletts report. Was he wearing Mike Reeds infamous rotating bow-tie while he delivered it. He does seem to like to go on jaunts to tell us things that aren’t true and come scurrying back to organise the next pile of horse shit he’s going to try and ram down our throats.
Come on down-ticker. Was that for the rotating bow-tie, or the horseshit.? I’m curious. Do join in the chat. You might have something interesting to say…
…..and, of course hot weather has never happened before! Oh wait!
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2000/jul/09/weather.climatechange
Ten thousand people have been treated in hospital and at least 100 have died as a heatwave which has seen temperatures of up to 48C (118.4F) continues to sweep across the Mediterranean.
Temperatures are on average up to six degrees higher than normal, with little respite at night.

“Michael Gove warns against Net Zero ‘religious crusade’”
Perhaps Michael could have had his finger on the pulse these last 15 years while the rhetoric and the distraction have grown and grown. Most of the legislation has been passed with no opposition. Where were the questions..? Where was the scrutiny..? Warning us now is bolting the stable door with the horse long disappeared over the hill. We’ve been warning you Michael. Did you listen..?

“NHS faces exodus of doctors and surgeons to foreign healthcare systems”
The downside being that they have to actually see patients and treat them.
In extolling the benefits of other healthcare systems around the world, the Grauniad still unable to join the dots and see that the NHS desperately needs an enema
I’ve been trying to tell my friends they should ask to see the teaching material their small children are being exposed to. I’m sure it’s the same in all schools but the fact it’s their actual school in the news, yuck.
That the Green movement has not embraced nuclear energy is proof positive that its supposed concern about Climate Change is just a cover.
Just like the ‘establishment’ did not embrace the use of ivermectin for covid.
‘The climate witch trials’
Essentially, this is what is going on:
‘An enormous amount of scientific evidence points at global warming, mass destruction of bio-diversity, scarce resources……all over the world. These facts are generally acknowledged nowadays, not only by scientists….‘
Total, unevidenced, hyperbolic nonsense.
‘…this understanding has caused insufficient changes in our decision making and behavior to preserve our natural resources and to prevent upcoming (natural) disasters.‘
Total, unevidenced, hyperbolic nonsense.
‘…we try to explain how systematic tendencies or distortions in human judgment and decision-making, known as “cognitive biases” contribute to this situation…”
(Translation: If you don’t agree with ‘climate catastrophising’, you must be bonkers)
‘…based on this knowledge, we describe influence techniques (interventions, nudges, incentives) to mitigate or capitalize on these biases in order to foster more sustainable choices and behaviors.‘

“Gay and trans students offered own halls in at least seven universities” – At least seven institutions have flats or accommodation blocks reserved only for LGBT undergraduates, the Mail reports.
I struggle with stories like this. The Qwerty doubleplusgood community keeps banging on about how mainstream society needs to accept them and their lifestyles without prejudice and discrimination – and yet they then isolate themselves in university halls of residence. How will this help integration and “break down barriers”? Won’t this just reinforce perceptions that they are different from most people?
Its the process of excluding yourself from normal society, then complaining that you aren’t included in normal society. Remember kids, if someone tells you ‘you’re a victim’, its because they want to control you…
…but my 15 year old granddaughter can’t have a girls only toilet at school?
What I read from this is exactly what the same people have done in relation to the black community.
There is only one group who are oppressed so must be treated in a special way..everyone else must be sacrificed to that one group.
I’m quite sure it isn’t and never has been about inclusivity or prejudice or acceptance.
It’s about ruling the ‘normal’ majority of proles….one way or another….
So the fact that primary (or as I still refer to them..the little school) schools are teaching children inappropriate and sexualised lessons…isn’t the big story…
…the big story is that a ‘Christian’ didn’t like it…wow..how to kill two-birds with one stone! Obviously only Christians are trans/gay/homophobic then?
No..ordinary non-religious people also find it shocking..and wrong….and I can guarantee it isn’t being taught in Muslim schools, up and down the country, for all the education dept’s mealy-mouthed talk of inclusivity….
I was very frustrated during the great ‘con’ that parents didn’t stand up for their children more..against masks and class bubbles etc..if this doesn’t make parents start a revolution, I’m beginning to wonder what will….??
Anyway…well done Michael Doherty……your daughter is lucky to have you…I salute you!!
Morning one and All…
Just a random thought..but has anyone else thought that immigration into Western countries might be to do with the fact that it’s a ‘cover’ for the thousands of excess deaths?
I suppose the stats won’t show a large decline in population if they count ‘new immigrants’….!?
…or is it a tin-foil hat alert!!!? I just don’t trust the mo-fo’s at all..!! LOL!
“Five of Britain’s biggest advertising companies are members of a network set up by activists from Stop Funding Hate”
Judging by the ads they’ve been making, it’s obvious that the decision-makers are all social justice warriors – either that or the instructions from clients are always along the lines of “no straight white males, lots of brown people please”.
I am watching snippets of the US House Judiciary Committee Hearings at the moment, and honestly can’t understand why the Biden crime family are not all in prison..how the FBI, DOJ etc etc..aren’t all disbanded?

poor man and his family. Article quotes heart attack or brain haemorrhage as probable cause and he was very fit. Sounds a bit like our excess deaths situation. Let’s blame it on climate.

Article in the Express regarding excess deaths during 2023, particularly in the 15 to 44 age group. The lack of an official investigation is leading to ‘dangerous theories’ taking hold. Dangerous because they are correct?
https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1794096/excess-deaths-dangerous-theories#conversation-wrapper
…hahaha..I’m having a tin-foil day..! Isn’t that exactly the demographic being ‘replaced by immigrants??
My tin-foil hat is tuned to a slightly different wave length. I have come round to HP’s thinking that there is a conspiracy to reduce the human population across the world. I don’t think the ‘elites’ involved are interested in moving people around. Bill Gates ‘Catastrophic Contagion’ exercise was aimed at Africa and he is already meddling in food production in the same continent. Of course if his plan to block out the sun comes to fruition, we’re all screwed.
Long..but very interesting article about the ‘proximal origin 5’ by investigative journalist….Johnny Vedmore ….I would say it’s a must read when you have the time….
https://johnnyvedmore.com/2022/02/08/the-wellcome-5/
All of the aforementioned roles should have been tasked to officials who were elected by the people, but instead we have witnessed events being manufactured in such a way that it is almost impossible to hold anyone official to account. These people connected to the Wellcome Trust have been pivotal in creating a medical autocracy to which the public never consented. In this article, I will attempt to show how they have demonstrated a pattern of behaviour in the past which has been repeated during Covid-19. I will reveal how this select group of very close personal friends have been rolled out by the Ministry of Defence in the past to take part in official inquiries, only going on to certify the governments versions of any event which could cause further public scrutiny. I will show you as much as I can in one article. Firstly, lets go to the top tier.
…also found this interesting article by HART back in Nov 2021….looks like they were onto something…..?

Late in January 2020, a key ‘summit’ conference call was quickly scrambled and held on 1 February 2020. Various senior virologists (and, curiously, Sir Patrick Vallance) participated. This conclave had been called as various senior academics had pointed out that SARS-CoV-2 could not be natural. This would have been a problem for Fauci, as NIAID’s parent, the National Institutes for Health (NIH), had funded controversial Gain of Function research — stitching viruses together to change their functionality — at the now notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology. More than just vindicating the ‘lab leak’ theory, it could mean the novel coronavirus was in fact not an act of mother nature, but potentially a man-made weapon of mass destruction: a chimera created by researchers funded by US taxpayer dollars.
Consider the words of US historian Thomas Frank, writing in the Guardian on 1 June 2021: “If it does indeed turn out that the lab-leak hypothesis is the right explanation for how it began — that the common people of the world have been forced into a real-life lab experiment, at tremendous cost — there is a moral earthquake on the way”.
Well quite. The Fauci / Farrar / Vallance conclave was convened “to try and determine the evolutionary origin. This is not my area of expertise so I have backed off and am leaving it all to [Sir] Jeremy [Farrar]” Fauci emailed to a CDC official on 13 February 2021. But only three days after the conclave, one of the protagonists was confidently able to write an email proclaiming that “the main crackpot theories going around at the moment relate to this virus being somehow engineered with intent and that is demonstrably not the case”, quickly followed up by letters in The Lancet and Nature Medicine promoting the zoonotic (animal) origin theory for SARS-CoV-2:

Seriously..how very dare they!!?
The testimony of Emma-Jo Morris is explosive.
If America and Britain do not acknowledge the dangers of the behaviours of government she describes – and remedy them – they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
