This week I was the victim of two non-crime hate incidents at the hands of the comedy establishment.
The strangest of these came from Private Eye. Once a satirical magazine guided by the genius of Peter Cook. Now, apparently, an organ for pearl-clutching Regime hit pieces.
Its slightly paranoid attack on me and the great GB News started with a claim about Mark Steyn that I can’t be bothered to look into, as it involves listening to a podcast other than my own. But clearly Private Eye felt Steyn’s two very recent heart attacks were not sufficient, and he deserved another blow in the form of their deadly investigative journalism, which went as follows:
Meanwhile, on his personal podcast, GB News presenter Mark Steyn said the slowing of the birth rate of “Aryans”, who built “Western civilisation”, had been accelerated by Covid vaccines.
Knowing the mainstream media, it is likely there some context or comedic intent was deliberately left out here. That was certainly the case with my delightful little mention that immediately followed.
Another purveyor of wacky Covid opinions is Nick Dixon, a host of GB News‘s paper review and presenter of the Daily Sceptic podcast, which grew out of a previous Lockdown Sceptics website founded by armchair epidemiologist Toby Young. When he’s not on GB News, Dixon can be seen online praising people who didn’t get the vaccine, calling them “pure bloods”.
Crikey.
They can only be referring to a tweet in which I jokingly (or so I thought) wrote “pure blood forever” followed by the strong arm emoji. I assumed the inclusion of said emoji marked the tweet as a bit of lighthearted fun. Some gentle bantz after two to three years of unvaccinated people being viciously attacked and ostracised by politicians, media, friends and family.
But no, it turns out this tweet was merely the beginning of my new Aryan eugenics project. At least I think that’s what Private Eye is implying. Why else move straight from the Steyn thing to the ‘pure blood’ reference?
As for “wacky Covid opinions”, well, guilty as charged. I was against, for example, locking people down in their homes, thus creating catastrophic NHS waiting lists, capsizing the economy, damaging children’s mental health, and, as they say, so much more!
What a monster.
Also, our podcast is called the Weekly Sceptic, and I have never even seen Toby sit in an armchair. He moves through his insane and largely self-inflicted work schedule so fast I usually only witness him as a passing blur.
Still, at least they called me the ‘host’ of Headliners. I only host occasionally, so they could have gone with ‘panellist’. Sometimes lazy inaccuracy is a huge win.
Needless to say, I both owned and destroyed these satirists-turned-establishment shills in another classic Dixon tweet, calling them out for their ‘tainted blood’ resentment. I look forward to their next piece examining my wacky fascist agenda.
The other attack was more banal, though even less accurate. I was enjoying an increasingly rare day off (I seem to have become caught up in Toby’s workaholic vortex) when someone sent me the clip. Much as they did the Private Eye piece, in fact. I do not seek these things out, dear reader. Rather, friends simply enjoy ruining my day.
It featured a young man by the name of Sloss. Daniel Sloss, a Scottish comedian and posh mummy’s boy, who got a break writing for Mock the Week at age 16. His comedy suffers from the blandness of one who has never truly known pain.
Of course, I wouldn’t normally be so uncouth as to say any of this. But he started it.
Appearing on BBC radio with Nihal Arthanayake, Sloss stated:
GB News, and I can confirm this, has absolutely no comedians on it at the moment… some people will have the word ‘comedian’ beside their name, but as an actual comedian I can assure you the ‘comedians’ on GB News are not actual, real comedians who’ve done the circuit, or earned the respect of their peers, or put in the hours, or done anything.
As an attack it is flawed by being completely untrue in every regard.
To quote the movie Barton Fink: never mind me, never mind how long I’ve been in pictures. But let’s consider the mighty Simon Evans. Host of GB News’s Headliners, and one of the most respected comics in the business by any metric.
He is represented by the biggest comedy agent in the U.K., whose bio for him literally begins: “Simon is one of the U.K.’s most respected and established comedians.”
Lol.
Simon has performed on Live at the Apollo, done multiple tours of the country, and just about every other ‘real comedian’ thing you can think of.
Then we might mention Carey Marx, a comedy circuit stalwart for many years, or Josh Howie, Leo Kearse, Roger Monkhouse, Lewis Schaffer (because he’ll complain if I don’t include him). And many, many more.
Even humble old ND. I did the comedy circuit for 11 perfectly gruelling years, performing weekends at the Comedy Store (the peak of the U.K. live club scene) and every other club in the land. Two national tours with Tom Stade. Two TV appearances on Comedy Central at the Comedy Store. Weekends in windowless Manchester hotel rooms after playing the Frog and Bucket. Five hour night coaches back from the Leeds Hi-fi Club. I have performed at the L.A. Comedy Store and the Hollywood Improv, and done a comedy festival in Portland. I supported Europe’s biggest comedian, Gad Elmaleh. I won the Comedy Store King Gong show in 2012, for pity’s sake. I could go on.
But no one cares. Except me. And Daniel Sloss.
Why Regime comedians, and faded establishment rags, feel the need to rag on GB News, employing whatever pernicious calumnies they see fit, remains somewhat unclear.
Since their words have no meaning, and refer to no known reality, we can only conclude they are mere automatons. Ideologically-captured ‘NPCs’, wandering through a rather violent video game called ‘Culture War’, doing only what they are programmed to do, then disappearing, one can only hope, into mindless oblivion.

The Strep A problem may be being caused by the Nasal Flu spray being given to school children ! Apparently in trials with Mice this was the result ! Could this be true ??
The paper mentioned “significant increases” in Streptococcus pneumoniae rather than Strep A, they cause different diseases. Also increased Staphylococcus aureus. But the mechanisms that the authors suggest are not necessarily specific to those two; if Strep A happens to be doing the rounds at the time of vaccination then maybe it could promote that as well. The fact checkers will tell you there’s “no evidence” of course, but that’s “no evidence” in the sense that nobody’s looked for any.
Mark Steyn must be on the mend if he’s able to talk about his experience. Glad he’s doing well though.

Do you have a link to his talk, Mogs? This just takes you to a picture of the great man without any video.
No sorry, I couldn’t find one. I did find this however, lead singer of The Specials dead after a ”brief illness”.
Gutted. Everyone knows some corkers that The Specials did. Ghost Town, A Message To You Rudy, You Done Too Much, being 3 faves of mine. Very sad.

I saw this last night. Very sad. Terry Hall was a wonderful singer and songwriter and I have been a fan throughout his career.
Lead with The Fun Boy Three.
Personally I think his greatest work was the album “Virgins and Philistines” when he fronted The Colourfield. Some of it is a touch dark but as an album it is sublime. One of my all time favourites.
I liked Fun Boy Three also. “It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it…” Only know them as I was a Bananarama fangirl.
But 63yrs is way too young to go. Another mystery, though maybe more details will emerge over time.
The Lunatics, surely. Written in the 1980s but topical today: –

LOL. I’ve never heard of that one. I was probably a bit young to appreciate them back in the day. I think if he’d grown his hair and went crazy with the hair spray, worn red lipstick, eye liner and big, baggy jumpers he’d pass for Robert Smith’s brother, haha! Obviously a very different style of music but still. I did dig The Cure back in the ’80s though.
Now, you’re just making me feel old!
I sincerely wish Mark Steyn all the very best. A highly credible man and class one journalist.
Reading the blurb he had his second heart attack in France…lucky man! He’s staying there while he is being cared for and recovering…and so would I….!!
The New York Times reputation for insightful journalism is now below The Beano.
Does that mean it is on a par with the Sunday Times?
“A leading think tank says Government should highlight benefits of people coming to work legally while cracking down on small boat crossings”
So, you need a think tank to tell you of laws that already exist? Oi veh!
I have a simpler mechanism to offer. When a boat arrives, if people who have travelled far and risked much to come and try to build a better life here through hard work and enterprise, we should get 20 lardy career benfit claimants, and holders of non-jobs in the Public Sector to go back the other way. One in, one out….
We could call it ‘Refugee Swap’ and make it into a TV programme…
I know that we have all read about HCQ and Ivermectin…and one of the greatest miscarriages in this whole charade has been the way people were left to die ‘because there was no treatment’ for Covid when we all know there were numerous early treatments that were used successfully….
Jikky the Mouse had a huge Twitter following but of course she was subsequently banned….she has now been re-instated ….!
She claims here, and I believe it’s true, that three tablets of Azithromycin would have saved thousands of elderly lives, if not more….
If they hadn’t used the useless PCR and been diagnosed with ‘Covid’ they would have got the treatment…which is shocking…..
Jikky the mouse https
@TheJikky
For every person who had an elderly relative die “of Covid” and who never received a single antibiotic go back to the treating doctor and ask them what the treatment is for post viral pneumonia.
Then ask why they didn’t treat your gran.
#3tablets was all it took.
3 tablets.
That’s what they withheld from the elderly that were diagnosed with “COVID pneumonia” because they were told not to treat. It was bacterial pneumonia. They died.
If they hadn’t had the test they would have had the tablets.
Instead of “two weeks to slow the spread” which became “3 years and an experimental gene therapy whether you like it or not” it would have just taken #3tablets to stop the majority of the deaths in the elderly.
Please keep this going.

More devastating evidence. As if any where needed.
Jikky’s been great in uncovering all of this viral pneumonia stuff. And people doubt the depopulation theory. It’s gathering more and more evidence by the day!
From a post just seen over at TCW:
The latest proposed terrorism legislation states that ANY venue capable of holding more than 100 people must produce a plan detailing how it will respond in the event of it coming under a terrorist attack.
Well we do suffer alot of those don’t we? Usually instigated by our own government.
Let’s see – churches, sport stadiums, theatres, gyms, supermarkets, factories etc.
(I can’t seem to copy and paste from the TCW site.)

Thanks BB. A long and disturbing read and as usual with these psychopaths nothing to do with improving the health of the world population, in fact just the opposite.

It’s not enough for them…provoking Russia and threatening China…I fear that Serbia is going to be pushed into conflict by USA/NATO, as they were before…
The future for Europe is looking decidedly bleak while ever they follow the orders coming from the USA…..

Impact of covid injections on menstrual cycles & the signal from the Orthodox Jewish community

What a dreadful catalogue of adverse events.
Michael Shellenberger on Twitter: “46. The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021. https://t.co/SmNse97QxK” / Twitter
So, the FBI using taxpayer cash to pay twitter to work for them.
Any sign of dirty politics, given what this MP has achieved so far re the drug promotion? https://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2022/december-2022/independent-expert-panel-dismisses-appeal-by-andrew-bridgen-mp/
“We’ve penetrated the cabinets…”
Sounds about right.
Said Klaus ! …
Andrew Bridgen MP banned from HOC ! Amazing that !!!…
Again?!
The bloke’s a hero and is showing up his colleagues for the collective sociopaths that they are, because they all didn’t just snub him when he gave his speech to an empty hall, they snubbed the entire British public that they are supposed to serve! F***ers!
TPTB are desperate to stifle the truth !!
Spot on.
