From several months back but Jordan Schachtel nails it with his assessment of Charles in this short piece;

”Charles, to put it bluntly, is an anti-human reprobate, who has lived a life of disgrace, hypocrisy, and corruption. But his lifestyle is the least of the issues at hand. Charles is a king who has embraced and promoted the most destructive causes of our times.
Most notably, Charles is both a climate catastrophist and an advocate for the depopulation agenda. Last year, he demanded a “war-like footing,” in calling for the sabotage of reliable energy resources to tackle the so-called climate crisis. Charles’s initiatives, and his promotion of the destructive Paris Climate Accords and the U.N.’s Climate Change Conference objectives, has helped position the U.K. on the precipice of energy disaster.”

Isn’t it amazingly positive and liberating to see just how powerful the collective are and the impact we can have if we all just unite in opposing something? We’re looking at you, Bud!

”The recent Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney controversy proved that there can be significant and lasting repercussions for a company to ideologically turn on its customer base. After printing the face of an unhinged, narcissistic, and shameless self-promoting trans activist on its beer cans, the Bud Light brand immediately suffered a national backlash. Sales plummeted by nearly 30%, the company’s stock price dropped by $5 billion, and well-known entertainers began posting viral videos of cases of Bud Light being blasted by AR-15s. More important, though, the backlash wasn’t transitory.

Company executives waited unsuccessfully for the disgust to blow over, but it didn’t. In fact, anger toward Bud Light only grew when the CEO put out a press release a week later that said nothing meaningful, offered no apology, and refused to address the concerns of its customers. To date, Bud Light’s sales and the company’s stock price have not recovered. Just as important, competitors have been able to snatch business away from Bud Light. Ultra Right Beer made more than $1 million in sales in its first week. Bars around the country are reporting that sales of national brands that are not Budweiser have surged since the controversy erupted. Americans have alternatives, and they are taking advantage of them.”

Damned right Mogs.

And the fact that we have DS and the concomitant freedom to get these stories / items out to a wider public plays no small part.

Keep the fires burning. 🔥

And we too can push back against all this nonsense. The small group of people who are trying to socially engineer our world to suit their agenda now find that people don’t like being pushed and manipulated. Furthermore, I can imagine that ‘Bud Light’ is a crap beer anyway and people just needed to realise that they have a choice and don’t need that ghastly corporate indoctrination tool called ‘brand loyalty’ in their lives.

So, 3 days in and he’s already taken sides! What happened to the non biased King that he spoke about just after his mother’s death?

“Cambridge don ready to lead war on woke as PM’s first free speech tsar”

Interestestingly, I couldn’t find any information about this guys early life, where he was born for instance!
In Britain we now have all heads of government that are not British! Why has Britain got to be taught how to speak freely by so many foreigners! Wasn’t the British constitution of free speech used as a benchmark for the worlds laws to promote free speech?

The ignorant buffoon Fraser Myers tying himself in knots trying to defend the Republic protesters who were arrested pre Coronation.

He apparently supports their right to protest AND their right to speak freely.

Strange that the honourable Andrew Bridgen is not to be allowed the right to free speech.

It won’t wash Myers. You can now add ‘hypocrite’ to your growing list of failings.

Too right, HP. He nailed his colours to the wrong mast. Spiked is now spiked. If ever there was a controlled opposition, it is this useful idiot with his lack of any data or any credible argument and just his empty words trying to undermine someone who actually knows his onions…and all the layers therein. Myers is a disgrace to his profession.

“Bud Light’s sales drop is accelerating amid Dylan Mulvaney fiasco – and is now spilling into other Bud brands” Good. If nothing else, it shows how people have real power over the corporations and not the other way around. If we don’t buy their cr*p, they don’t have a market. People need to do it to other brands now too and seek out good, honest stuff, maybe locally brewed or made. I’ve resisted buying anything through Amazon now for well over a year. I can’t stand their stranglehold over e-commerce so I always look for alternatives. For instance ‘The Hive’ books support local book shops so I go there instead of Amazon. The only thing I use Amazon for is their reviews.

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/the-insanity-of-net-zero-and-how-to-tackle-it/

A first class article explaining the many ways “net-zero” is going to destroy the Western world.

Apparently we are going to build a wind farm in Morocco and send the electricity it produces back to the UK via 2,300 miles of cables.

What on earth can we say to that?

I promised to update you on the constitutional impact of the change to the wording of the coronation oath from Anna de Buisseret. Anna is seriously unwell & is not in a position to respond.
An update was posted on 8th May on the Go Fund Me page for Anna to access treatment. She’s currently stood down from the frontline to focus on healing.
If you can afford to, please contribute. If you can’t please pray for Anna or send positive thoughts her way if that is more true to yourself.
Anna has been on the frontline of this war for 3 years. Her absence at our meetings leaves a hole. We all pray that she heals & feels able to return to the battle in the future.

Given that a group of almost one thousand medical doctors in Germany called ‘Doctors for Information’, which is supported by more than 7,000 professionals including attorneys, scientists, teachers etc., made a shocking statement during a national press conference:
‘The Corona panic is a play. It’s a scam. A swindle. It’s high time we understood that we’re in the midst of a global crime.’
In addition, hundreds of Spanish medical doctors say the pandemic was created, and in Spain, a group of 600 medical doctors called ‘Doctors for Truth’ made a similar statement during a press conference.
‘Doctors for Information’ and ‘Doctors for Truth’ have joined forces with similar groups of practitioners around the world in the ‘World Doctors Alliance’ .
This historic alliance connects more than one hundred thousand medical professionals around the world.

They reveal how the pandemic is the greatest crime in history, and offer solid scientific evidence for this claim. They also take legal actions against governments who are playing along with this criminal operation.

As far as we are concerned in the UK and in the light of this massive consensus, I think the burden of proof that this is not the greatest crime in history lies with British ministers and MPs to explain.”

I found this in the Comments section at TCW just now.

Thanks to the poster, Graham Wood.

Have our European members any more info?
