Susan Michie, the Communist member of SAGE known as ‘Stalin’s Granny’ because she once smuggled hard-left pamphlets into a Labour Party conference in a baby’s pram, is once again demanding another lockdown. Although, come to think of it, I don’t recall her ever saying it’s safe enough to come out from under our beds. MailOnline has more.
A Communist-supporting SAGE advisor has claimed that “lameduck” Tories will “sit on their hands” and ”let Covid rip” as virus cases are set to hit 350,000 every day next week.
Susan Michie, the Professor of Health Psychology at University College London, warned new variants that are “even more infectious” will lead to unnecessary deaths and hospitalisations.
More than 2.7 million Britons were infected with Covid last week and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) weekly infection survey found up to one in 16 people in the worst-hit parts of the U.K. were carrying the virus in the week ending June 29th as cases rose nationally by about a fifth.
Professor Michie told the Mirror: “We don’t have a public health policy for Covid right now and if we don’t act, we’ll get variants that are even more infectious and these will lead to increased hospitalisations and deaths.
“The number of people with long Covid will increase significantly beyond the current two million and the country will be continuously disrupted with some sectors in danger of grinding to a standstill in the Autumn.
“The Government’s policy seems to be, ‘Shut your eyes and let it rip.’ But the NHS is on its knees and public health experts, SAGE and Independent SAGE have been predicting this since July last year, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.”
Worth reading in full – or not, as the highest-rated commentator below the line points out: “Her outlandish claims are not even remotely borne out by reality. It’s now just a cold. Time that bitter old Communist retired now.”

What Kamal Ahmed fails to understand is that the ‘Faragistas’ are the centre and those of us in that space will be glad to see the back of the Tories for twenty years if not for good. Their treachery should never be forgotten and never forgiven. The guy is totally out of touch.
Could his name give a clue to his thoughts ?
Good point Freddy.
I don’t understand how anyone can vote for Brexit
I don’t understand how anyone can vote for Trump
I don’t understand how anyone can vote for Boris
I don’t understand how anyone can vote for Farage.
There’s a pattern here. I wonder if I’m the only one to spot it….
I think you might be on to something Neil. 😀😀
Tories haven’t been around since Cameron became party leader. Coincidence?

This is an absolute belter.
Paul Weston’s series on the C1984 Scamdemic part 11 – links to previous articles embedded – absolutely rips a gaping hole in the PCR testing regime. His assessment is brutal but nothing that the majority here at DS had already realised.
“AFTER the pace of deaths driven by the Great Care Home Cull in spring 2020 showed down, the government switched to positive PCR tests to drive the Covid Pandemic. These tests were dishonest and fraudulent.”
“If 100,000 tests returned 10,000 positive results, the true positive number would be 7,700 (10,000 positive tests minus 2,300 false positives).” Not necessarily. That is not what false positive means. You have to take into account the amount of positives out there. If everybody in the group did have covid then everybody would be 100% positive no false positives and that is that. It is when nobody has covid in the group, then there will be 2300 false positives. Two extremes- reality is somewhere in between. It means that in the summer of 2020 locking down Leicester was a waste of time. In the winter more accurate, although who really knows with cross-contamination etc/
It’s called Bayes theorem. I think Hancock admitted so much.
Thanks 👍
A couple of other points though :
1. The testing cycle was always above 25 and usually 35 or 45, levels considered too high to be valid.
2. The PCR test was not designed for diagnostics although in view of the above largely irrelevant.
It was still a con.

This is the problem with the commentariat, they don’t understand and so their analyses lack true depth. Compare this piece to Paul Weston’s article to appreciate the good from the also-rans.
“Perhaps Sunak’s sudden resignation, and the conspicuous clearing out of all the silly-ass dross around him, would save a few seats. I don’t think he is an evil man. He is a privileged man, privileged in a way that removes him completely from the life experience of virtually everyone, including those with conventional wealth. His political inheritance was atrocious.”
Sunak is an evil man, a deeply evil man. He has no allegiance to this country and so cares not a jot for the conditions of its people. If he was not evil Nut Zero would have been nuked on Day One with an end to all immigration on Day Two but rather than deal with the greatest issues facing this country since WWII he has allowed both to get worse. These matters cannot be written off as incompetence because that would imply he at least tried. The reality is he has encouraged both. He is a failure, a completely useless, abject failure who centuries ago would have lost his head for his treason. Let’s call a spade a spade – he’s evil. He’s a traitor.

An excellent article by Miri which decidedly skewers the “don’t vote” brigade and why it is so dangerous. Bottom line if not voting damaged the establishment they wouldn’t allow it.
“Your vote does matter, and that’s why “they” try so hard to sway who you vote for, including and especially encouraging you not to vote at all, because this is the top way of ensuring their desired candidate (Starmer in this instance) walks in.
Directly rigging an election by removing or adding votes is highly illegal and therefore very risky. Convincing people not to vote, however, is neither illegal nor does it carry any risk.
So that’s the “rigging” strategy they opt for – because convincing someone not to vote has the same effect as ensuring an additional vote for the lead candidate.”
Going back to my post last night about the amount of ‘Useful Idiots’ that are thick as sh*t, and have proven this to be the case time and again. A classic example here, if you haven’t seen the short clip already, have a watch. This lady thinks Israel is a Muslim country and didn’t know you’d get launched off a roof if you were openly gay in Palestine. But even stupid people have strength in numbers, worryingly;
”Since the wave of hate marches, student encampments and other protests began after October 7, social media has been full of examples of jaw-dropping ignorance about Israel and the Middle East that only a determinedly stupid person could embrace. As Martin Luther King Jr famously remarked, “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
The entire Queers for Palestine movement, for example, is based on stupidity rather than ignorance. It doesn’t matter how many times these people are told – and can see with the evidence of their own eyes – that in Israel gay people are embraced while under Hamas they are murdered, they simply refuse to acknowledge anything.
It requires a really very stupid mind – and a determination to remain untroubled by information – to believe that gay people have a natural place alongside fundamentalist Islamic terrorists. As Benjamin Franklin is said to have put it: “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”
If we are properly to understand the role of stupidity in the public realm, it’s important to be clear that it’s not about disagreeing with someone.
The commentator and broadcaster Mehdi Hasan, for example, is someone for whom I have near total contempt. But he is far from stupid; indeed it’s precisely his ability to (in my opinion) distort facts in order to shape them to fit his own agenda that makes him an opponent who cannot simply be swatted away as an idiot. George Galloway, likewise, is not stupid.
Jeremy Corbyn, on the other hand – who I would imagine agrees with almost every word that comes out of Hasan’s mouth – is an all too obvious example of someone who is, I would contend, simply stupid. There has been no self-reflection, no development in his thinking, no intellectual growth in Corbyn’s mind since he emerged on the left political scene in the 1970s. And his positions on so many issues are based not so much on ignorance – it’s not as if he hasn’t been told! – but on stupidity, because he is simply incapable of understanding ideas or challenges to his worldview.”

It isn’t that they are all stupid, it’s that they live in a culture that encourages accepting authority, unquestionly, using many techniques that used to be discouraged in Western universities.
Thanks for the link 👍
“Green leader’s nuclear disaster”
Why do the left never seem to think anything through..?
If they thought things through, they wouldn’t be on the Left! 🙂
(Thank you for setting up the joke.)
The swing to the right..?
Personally, I see it more as a reclaiming of the middle. ‘Far Right’ only looks ‘Right’ because of how far ‘Left’ the left have gone.
Just FYI:
The Belgian Prime Minister resigned last night.
The 2024 EU elections prove very interesting. What will happen next with the EU?
