Good morning fellow travellers through the Valley of the Shadow of Death!
What delightful news as our unchosen, unmandated Prime Minister Fishy ‘Business’ Sunak decides to choose lunacy over common sense once more. This merry-go-round is increasingly not merry at all. What do we have to do now? Oh yes, repay all those countries that we apparently ruined through Empire and give up any idea that we are going to commit to our own resources of oil and gas. Nope, we’re going back to the Stone Age, folks….yabbadabbadoo!!…as Fred Flintstone would say. When you look into the real science of the climate, you find absolutely nothing that warrants the wholesale destruction of our civilisation. Nothing. We can be 100% sure by now that this is part of the Great Reset. They want you begging for morsels of food, little heating, no homes or businesses of your own. In times gone past people would have risen in their millions if someone had said we’re going to destroy your lives – and maybe not too – and I feel that time is now upon us. We have no choice but to act. I’m ready. I’ve had enough of this. Let it carry on and they’ll have us all ID’d and shut up in our coops with UBI and Good Boy chocs for not going too far in our walkies by Christmas or the joylessly Woke titled ‘Festive Season’. Do we want to end up like that poor woman in China and no doubt many more like her, locked in your own home because of a mild disease? And yes, it is mild for most. Those immunocompromised will be at risk but they can isolate. As has been shown by many people far cleverer than me and Valance and Whitty and Fauci, the so called pandemic was actually many other things besides but it was, it seems, a media virus. A media gone mad and corrupt and dangerous. They should be first in line for the storming of the Winter Palace because their filth and lies infects the minds of all the gullible, all those seeking salvation from the devils in their midst. Without the media on their side, this shitstorm of power gone crazy might never have happened. There would have been questions, curiousity, and investigative reporting and holding that unchecked power to account. But of course there was nothing. Time to rise up folks and if those Brigade 77 people are reading this site, maybe have a look at the future that YOUR children will inherit…believe me, they won’t be in the beachfront mansions quaffing champagne. This is about all of us.
“Bright green: the case for eco-optimism”
In my view, Fraser Nelson is part of the problem we face. It’s the lack of genuine passion and fervour in his articles and his attempt to turn what is gross and criminal into something that is just another reasonable discussion point. Has he done any real background research into the subject of Net Zero to find out that it is just a ton of lies heaped upon untruths heaped upon misinformation. Why doesn’t he discuss the actual effects of what Net Zero proposes? The effects to our normal lives that is..i.e.ruined? Why make it all seem so reasonable and a fait accompli already? Although I don’t read/listen/watch mainstream media and don’t even have a telly, I do get sight of what various commentators are saying on it. To me, they all sound like Fraser Nelson – trying not to sound too —oooh conspiratorial, because that would damage their cred and probably send their advertisers and editors into dizzy fainting fits and red-faced outrage. Can’t say that, we must remain reasonable and logical until we’re all carless, homeless, eating insect burgers and shivering and then it’ll be ‘life has never been better!’ and ‘hurrah, we saved the planet!’ and other nonsense. I want to read someone with red blood in their veins, someone who is alive and awake and who has passion for life and compassion for his/her fellow beings and who says it how it is in a way that is comprehensive, accessible and irrefutable.

“There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change.
There is no energy security without investing in renewables.
That is why I will attend @COP27P next week: to deliver on Glasgow’s legacy of building a secure and sustainable future.
— Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) November 2, 2022“
Let’s pick that apart, shall we, Fishy? There is no long term prosperity without action on climate change. Mmm. How long? Whose prosperity? Must we head back into poverty before we reap the rewards? How can someone say these empty and meaningless words and expect others to take them seriously and believe them? I could have come up with that. How about “We are all in this together, me in my mansion and ability to travel anywhere by jet on a whim, and you in your hovels, eating rotten cabbages and burning old solar panels to keep warm, it will be painful in the short-term but we shall persevere.” I’d rewrite this one as: “There is no long-term prosperity.”
The next one is easier: “There is no energy security in renewables.” We know that, they know that and they know that we know that but they’ll say it anyway.
The legal position on amnesty.
[Forwarded from Anna de Buisseret (UK Lawyer)]
“Amnesty”????
Do any of the perpetrators in this video compilation deserve Amnesty for their actions, words, threats etc?
What do YOU think?
Let’s debate it!!!
“We Must Never Forget
You will see that this video evidence clearly demonstrates that various forms of:
1. duress;
2. intimidation;
3. harassment;
4. false imprisonment;
5. bullying;
6. enforced isolation;
7. inhumane, degrading, cruel treatments and punishments;
8. sanctions;
9. fines, including extortionate levels of fines;
10. threats of imprisonment;
11. threats of enforced isolation;
12. death threats;
13. threats of refusal of critical hospital treatment;
14. threats of loss of job;
15. threats of loss of income;
16. threats of not being able to see your family and friends and loved ones;
17. threats of not being able to travel;
18. threats of not being able to food shop or other forms of shopping;
19. threats of not being able to go to the theatre or gym or music concert or festival or sporting or other such event;
20. threats of not being able to go to church and worship;
21. threats of not being able to be part of society generally;
22. threats of enforced violations of bodily integrity – including being forcibly injected and masked and tested as a live human subject in a live human experiment;
23. threats of not being able to bury your family members or hug and comfort them at the funeral;
24. fraud, including criminal fraud;
25. deceit, including lying about both the safety and the efficacy of the experimental measures;
26. discrimination, including disability, racial and age discrimination;
27. medical apartheid;
28. crimes against humanity and threats to commit such crimes;
29. war crimes and threats to commit such crimes;
30. torture and threats to commit such crimes;
31. gross violations of human rights and threats to commit such violations;
and other such methods being used to gain “consent” to the experimental interventions.
Our rule of law, ethics, medical ethics and morals all demand that consent to any intervention that breaches our fundamental human rights must be freely given and fully informed.
The evidence provided by the enclosed video compilation of the methods used to obtain “consent” from the public is beyond reasonable doubt (ie the criminal burden of proof) that any such “consent” obtained using the above cited methods is thereby VITIATED and null and void.
This means that any “consent” obtained using any of the above methods is
UNLAWFUL
ILLEGAL
UNETHICAL and
IMMORAL.
This means that criminal proceedings should be commenced against each and every one of the perpetrators in this video compilation:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/8MfUPyQug8k/.
“Amnesty”??
The rule of law prohibits the granting of amnesty to perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
So – no – there will be no Amnesty.

Brilliant, Bertie! Thanks for posting.
Apparently Ricky Wilson was the worse for wear during a gig at the weekend. It wouldn’t the first time he has spouted nonsense during a performance.

To any fans who felt short-changed afterwards, I say good.
