What a difference a year makes at the Met Office. In just 13 months, the 15-year temperature warming trend in the U.K. has doubled to a helpful 0.2°C. In the process it changes an inconvenient flat-lining trend, with warming of around 0.1°C, to the more Net Zero-friendly hike of nearly 0.2°C. No doubt the Met Office has a simple explanation for this sensational statistical discovery. But as we have seen in past articles, these uplifts are common at the Met Office in both the national and global record.
First we can see the U.K. trend as published in a Daily Sceptic article early last year. Note the developing plateau over the last 15 years.
Just 13 months later, any pause has disappeared to be replaced with a considerable rise. Suddenly a near plateau over 15 years has been turned into a substantial long-term trend increase.
Last year was hot, but only 0.15°C warmer than 2014 which is shown on the two graphs above, and 2014 did not prevent the near-plateau forming. Statistically, a trendline for an uptrend would usually be based on low points rather than high points, to avoid potentially anomalous highs like 2022 radically altering the trend. The Met Office might be using some smoothing effect to produce the sudden jump in the trendline – it’s hard to tell as the forecaster doesn’t explain how it calculates its trendline anywhere that I could find. But even so, one year’s temperature should not radically alter the whole trend for the past 15 years, as has happened here.
Another explanation might lie in the recent adjustments made by the Met Office to the Central England Temperature, the oldest continuous surface temperature collection dating back to around 1660. The diligent climate journalist Paul Homewood discovered that for most of the record up to 1970, the adjustments were small and have no obvious pattern. There are then notable downward adjustments from 1970 to 2003, and from that date the temperatures have been adjusted markedly upwards.
Last Sunday, Richard Tice discussed the frequent Met Office record tampering with Andrew Montford from Net Zero Watch on his Sunday Talk TV show. Tice has taken a keen interest in the subject, and the issue is starting to attract public concern. As we have noted in past articles, the Met Office is being questioned on a number of fronts. Last year it claimed a U.K. heat record of 40.3°C half way down the runway at RAF Coningsby. A subsequent Freedom of Information request by the Daily Sceptic identified at least three Typhoon fighter jets using the runway at or around the time of the 60-second record. Many of the Met Office’s recording devices are sited at British airports, with records often declared at Heathrow and RAF Northolt. As we have noted, airports are one of the least suitable sites imaginable for collecting long-term information about climate temperature trends.
Another recent FOI request from Paul Homewood made the shocking discovery that the Met Office will use data and declare records from sites labelled class 4 by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). This class comes with an error estimate of up to 2°C from the WMO, although the Met Office calls it an “acceptable” rating. It is of course completely unacceptable. It is next to the lowest rating class 5 which comes with a 5°C error estimate. Homewood declared himself “lost for words” that the Met Office was happy to use a class 4 site, “even though that class is next to junk status”.
All of these non-climatic corruptions along with adjustments, mostly up for recent data and down for historical figures, are fed into a dataset that tries to estimate a global temperature. Again, as we have seen in past articles, removing inconvenient temperature pauses on a retrospective basis is a common occurrence. Over the last 10 years, the Met Office has added around 30% of extra heating from around 2000 in its HadCRUT global record. The move from version 3 to HadCRUT4 in 2013 added about 15% with a similar 2020 rise pumped into version 5. These were significant increases, and they wiped out the pause from around 2000-2012, a hiatus the Met Office wrote about in a 2013 paper titled ‘The recent pause in global warming‘.
The graph above tracks the final demise of the pause from HadCRUT4 to HadCRUT5. The pause is still slightly evident in the earlier version, but finding an additional 0.1°C of heat finally airbrushed it from the official record. Along with the earlier addition of 0.1°C, it took 0.2°C of warming to finally kick it into touch. This significant warming, most welcomed of course in political Net Zero circles as fuel for their narrative, was also enhanced by the cooling of about 0.1°C applied before 1974. Of course, fans of the pause can still view it in the accurate satellite record, along with the current pause of almost nine years.
Announcing the fifth revision, the Met Office said HadCRUT5 was now “in line” with other datasets. True, they are all at it with huge retrospective adjustments made at NASA and the U.S. weather service. All eyes are now on the expected El Niño natural oscillation which it is hoped will bring a little climatic heat into the record, perhaps alleviating any need to keep cancelling the chilly temperatures and pesky pauses of the recent past.

A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence.
Most popular response: “right on cue”.
Sort of thing he’d do. I remember his nonsense about the mine rescue. I still hope he takes over Twitter though.
“Politically motivated hit piece.”
Wasn’t a certain Toby Young a victim of muck-raking once?
Can’t say I’m bothered about it even if he did do it. My advice to women who get overly upset about such propositions is: don’t get jobs that involve giving their bosses massages.
I do doubt it’s mere happenstance that it is coming out in the media now, though.
“Giving their bosses massages”.
Yes. I remember a tattooist who ended up in a relationship with a woman he tattooed. And massage parlours are known for playing certain videos.
2018 though, and it just happened to come out now. You may be right…
Historical hearsay, straight out of the Christine Blasey-Ford playbook.
Well, the one thing that we can be certain of is that groups of women would never collude to “corroborate” a fictitious narrative against a man out of sheer bloody minded malice, and whatever you do, don’t look into the trial of Jian Ghomeshi.
Sounds more like his chat-up line.
“The billionaire founder exposed his penis to her and offered to buy her a horse, according to claims in a declaration.”
(…)
“He wrote: ‘If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light.’ ”
I have no idea whether he did it or not, but that really is a terrible defence. It’s simply not true. Many rich and powerful men take advantage of their positions to harass women and it doesn’t come out until much later.
Musk is not very good on the defensive, is he?
That was also apparent when he idiotically and wrongly accused someone of being a “pedo guy”.
Is he genuinely nuts? I can’t see how this kind of thing builds his personality profile, business-wise.
And what has the Mailicious done about it?
They had an article on 21st April 2020 about how vitamin D was a “hope to fight the crisis”.Where are all their articles since then about the rigged vitamin D trials? What have they written about nutritional solutions since 8th November 2020? And why do they print incendiary nonsense from Stick-at-nought Hancock?
I’m pretty sure it was some smug hack in the Mail who first coined the phrase ‘Covidiots’, in relation to those who bent, or ignored the rules of this ‘sweeping affront’, wasn’t it?
Expecting a red-top rag to have a consistent approach is a tad optimistic, I’d say.
The tits and arse right side of their webpage tells you all you need to know about their approach to ‘news’.
Yes, it is goalpost-shifting without acknowledgment of being wrong previously.
The article is solely a farcical and totally misnamed effort to whitewash Boris, nothing else.
They are totally unaware of the sovereignty killing treaty and still fully on board with the government’s and its adviseres actions at the DM.
”Totally unaware”? Surely that’s absolving them in some way, by suggesting they’re incompetent, instead of manipulative?
Russia’s Expulsion of Italian Diplomats ‘Hostile Act’ – PM Draghi
The response of US sphere “leaders” to Russia’s repeated refusals to just lie down and be beaten for daring to resist the Borg is, time after time, pure entitled tantruming.
Their hatred of Russia is the response of the slave to someone who, unlike him, actually defies the slave owner’s overseer and thereby highlights his own inadequacies.
The sins of the Russians are compounded by their successes, which are so infuriating that they are constantly presented as defeats.
So there wasn’t an unconditional surrender to the Russians at Azovstal; there was a Ukrainian evacuation. The Russian economy is in freefall, so the ruble cannot be strengthening in value.
Defiance has to result in pathetic failure; and those who lead the defiant must be presented as either crazed or seriously ill tyrants,
I was at a play recently where the words “a Russian” was replaced by “St. Lucian”…
I wonder if it is reasonable to suggest that we are seeing a repeat of the hysteria that greeted the vote for the UK to become independent from the Brussels regime ( or for that matter, the vote of “a basket of deplorables” in America” in 2016 for a whatever it is these hysterics call Donald Trump)?
There’s certainly a relationship. Americans were supposed to elect Hillary, someone many found deeply problematical for reasons that had nothing to do with her sex or even her husband.
She was and is an aggressive hawk, and a proven liar. There’s nothing very special about being a liar in politics, but her lies were exposed during the campaign: notably her assurances to her wealthy supporters that she didn’t mean a word she said to reassure the plebs.
A good many of the plebs decided to take their chances on Trump instead. He didn’t seem interested in “foreign entanglements”; he did seem to get that their lives were made more difficult by the labour of illegal immigrants and the loss of manufacturing jobs generally.
I thought the vote for him in 2016 was entirely understandable and reasonable under the circumstances.
I wasn’t surprised that the oh-so-entitled Hillary would express her contempt for the “deplorables” who didn’t understand that it was their duty to make her the first female president of the US.
I was disturbed by what you rightly call the hysteria from outraged Democrats. The sense of entitlement extended far beyond Hillary and her entourage. They actually believed that they were entitled to the votes of people they had betrayed or ignored for years.
I didn’t observe the lead-up to Brexit as closely, but I noted the same conviction in the aftermath that people hadn’t voted correctly, because they were fools who just didn’t get it.
There has always been political arrogance, but in the last decade or so it has grown to extraordinary levels.
I now see both the response to the election of Trump and the Brexit vote as indications of the kind of overweening sense of personal superiority that has expressed itself in outrageous and domineering attitudes with regard to public health.
“She was and is an aggressive hawk”
Ah yes, war-monger Hillary. I wonder what she would have said if Sarah Palin had becomme the first female vice-president of the “U.S.”
As for “Brexit” (or the UK independence vote (from the Brussels, and Srassburg, and Letzeburg regime and their five presidents) as some of us call it), it was something of a tradition that if us plebs gave the wrong answer in any vote on this regime, we would be told to vote a second time, with perhaps some slight cosmetic changes. I suppose that some assumed that this is what would happen this time, hence the campaign for a “people’s vote”, and never mind the people who voted for UK independence, more people than had ever voted for anything in the history of the United Kingdom.
If you’ll forgive the levity, I did find the suggestion that people would vote on the Brexit issue until they got it right rather funny:
We really respect democracy and all that; but you made a mistake and now you’ll have to do your homework all over again.
Yes Hugh, do you remember when the Irish voted the ‘wrong way’ on the EU and were told to do it again, and this time ‘get right?
“the kind of overweening sense of personal superiority that has expressed itself in outrageous and domineering attitudes “
There’s a promoted superiority complex that’s used to herd those who consider themselves intelligent and thus control their thought (i.e. make sure they don’t think too hard about certain stuff like immigration).
They think that intelligence is knowing the correct terminology and the correct position at any given point in time on any given issue.
In other words, they have learnt to recite; not to analyse. Having learnt correct speech, they then demonstrate their moral virtue by sneering at those who are out of date.
Well Hugh the anti Russian hysteria was brought home to me recently.
I (we) like classical music. I gave a lift to a retired teacher and had classic FM on when they played Tchaikovsky. My man said ‘I am surprised they still play those Russian composers’
Pretty soon, I’m expecting they’ll start locking up Brits who have a collection of those matryoshka dolls, just to keep us all safe.
There will also be a purge on any books by Russian novelists or recordings of music by Russian composers, with a burning session in the marketplace!
“Defiance has to result in pathetic failure; and those who lead the defiant must be presented as either crazed or seriously ill tyrants”
I guess we’re not talking about those who refuse to take ‘the Covid vaccines’ here?
What vaccines?
Nope. We won. No mandatory vaxx or vaxx passes in the UK, thanks.
I think it’s much more difficult to introduce them here, given our centuries of greater stress on individual liberty than most other countries. What worried me was BJ wanting a ‘national conversation’ on it.
In Yes Minister, those words were code for ‘this is the policy decision, now we’re wondering how we can push it through’.
Yes Minister was of course as much a documentary as a comedy.
We’re still in extra time, and entirely at the ref’s discretion.
I’m only hoping that party gate makes it problematic for them.
I thought as much. Another “coincidence”?
And for the record, from what I heard, some time before the lockdowns started, nearly one quarter of 14 year old girls said they had self-harmed within (I think) the last six months; 45% of adolescent girls and young women had some sort of mental health problem (a higher rate than that of army veterans who had served in combat zones). And then these people make a bad situation (what I have described as a youth mental health crisis) worse?! Surely these lockdowns are actions of enemies of the people. Damsel in distress? Birkenhead Drill? These crooks just aren’t interested.
It’s an interesting piece that doesn’t chime with the experience around these parts where, apparently, the girls have turned their back on self-harming and have hitched themselves instead to the gender dysphoria wagon (which, ultimately, might amount to much the same thing, I suppose)… or so my chum in child mental health tells me.
Cut the back of your hand, or have your breasts sliced off?
Good grief!!! Is this really true, AE?
Peter Malinauskas was yet another Premier elected in a landslide: in his case in March this year.
I imagine he’s trying to impress fellow Labor Premiers Andrews (Victoria) and McGowan (Western Australia) that although his landslide wasn’t as big as theirs, he’s just as big a dick.
But it’s a bit more complicated. They’re ending the Emergency Declaration (brought in by the previous Liberal government) at the end of June, as promised during the election campaign.
What are described as “broad community-wide controls”, like lockdowns, will then no longer be possible; and controls will instead be exercised through the Public Health Act, to be modified accordingly (ie, with menace).
I expect that Phil Shannon (a South Australian) will be posting soon, and he will have the inside story.
Newly-elected Labor Party Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, has wasted no time doing a Dan Andrews (his Victorian Labor dictator-in-arms) by writing extraordinary Covid powers into law. Under the amended Public Health Act legislation (which has now passed both houses of parliament), individuals who breach isolation rules, or ignore vaccination mandates and mask rules in high-risk settings such as hospitals or nursing homes, can be fined $20,000 or face two years in prison. Businesses found to be breaking those rules can be stung for $75,000.
This is world-leading bio-tyranny along with Victoria where an unjabbed individual who works can be fined up to $21,808, a company which allows it fined $109,044 and individuals who commit “serious breaches” of public health orders face up to 2 years in prison or a $90,000 fine, and business can be fined $455,000.
Malinauskas ousted the S.A. Marshall Liberal state government with a 7.6% swing (of ‘baseball bat’ proportions in the Australian vernacular) on the basis of South Aussies’ disenchantment with interminable Covid restrictions and mandates (including making voters front up to the polling booths in masks, just to rub it in) but Malinauskas has discovered a liking for Covid powers which will now be available on tap through regular legislation rather than renewable 30-day emergency powers.
Lockdowns are excluded because they are out of favour with most politicians at the moment as too politically costly (although if the WHO’s coup against national sovereignty succeeds, we could yet see them imposed by WHO fiat).
The new legislation is supposed to be up for review in six months, so Malinauskas is leaving some wiggle room for a backdown over time. The amended legislation was stitched up in a dirty deal with cross-bench independents and, of course, the Greens, to sideline the Liberal now-opposition who have just discovered their voice against Covid restrictions and mandates despite pushing them for all they were worth for their (blessedly) one-term government.
Ah, politics – the new broom gets covered in muck pretty quick whilst the old tyrants present themselves as the champions of liberty. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose
A message to Australians
This is just the start. Your lives are in danger. Get out now
And go where? Do you really expect people to quit their jobs and sell their homes and just move abroad? Did you?
I take your point, many Jews did not leave Germany for the reasons you state and its highly unlikely that people will get out of Australia and save themselves
This is only going one way and will not have a happy ending
Many of the Jews who got out left with nothing. However they survived and made new lives for themselves
Where will the Australians go? I thought the Irish and British were already chucking Ukrainian refugees out of their homes as they’ve not lived up to expectations? And there has always been a shortage of housing in Britain.
Anyway, I thought they couldn’t leave Australia unless they were ‘jabbed’.
I think, if we stand back, the big picture is that the ‘Covid nonsense’ is still ongoing – the ‘vaccine programme’ is still up and running, and I know for a fact that many people in Finland are still wearing face masks – fewer in the past month, but still teachers in schools, care home workers, staff in health centres, bus drivers.
The EU Vaxx Pass still exists, and I imagine (because I don’t know) it’s still being used for travel around Europe.
It’s a miserable situation, and it could well be that by May 2023, we’ll find the situation hasn’t really changed much at all… just that Jabs 6 and 7 will be on offer that year. And I bet the EU Vaxx Pass will be extended indefinitely; we are already slaves to ‘digitalisation’ and the ‘Vaxx Pass’ is just another nail in the coffin of freedom.
None of us knows what is going to happen but we can change our own lives and work at creating the world we want rather than focusing on this nonsense. We must never comply, never legitimise that which is not lawful. What they are doing goes against the basic principles of humanity. we know by now that they – the elitists – are insane and corrupt. They are nothing without our compliance. Resist, resist, resist. We have to stand up to them and not allow them to take OUR world away from US. I suggest we work to unseat them. They are scared of us and the power that we could wield. That is why they are doubling down and threatening us. THREATENING US – let that sink in. Now do something about it!
Who says it won’t have a happy ending? We must have faith that we can overcome this, bumpy though the ride may be. Do not fall into darkness and despair.
But many Jews who could do so did – and their decision to do so was vindicated with their continued lives in other countries they managed to escape to.
Message to Australians
This is just the start. Build community, grow food, connect with each other, create projects that provide optimism and nurturing and never, never comply. No one has the right to treat you like this, no one. You have god-given rights as sovereign human beings and no one has the right to take them away from you, least of all for a virus that is nothing worse than common flu for most people . You have to stand in your truth as we are all going to have to do. We are with you in spirit. Do not fall for the fear. Fight and resist.
I just asked an Aussie mate about that, and he told me none of his circle had heard of that.
So, I guess it must be true.
”… set to sail through state parliament”…
With the connivance of nearly every politician who can vote on them. They must feel themselves to be fireproof after (because of) agreeing to this.
Yes. I heard that the National Socialist party and other tolatiarians used to do things like that. Maniacs.
Germany doesn’t recognise Nuremberg codes? Dear oh dear!
Twas ever thus. At one time, theoretically a starving child who stole a loaf of bread (or a sheep, or a lamb), which probably was an issue with the disgraceful enclosures of the past, could theoretically be hung. The result was of course that it was very rare for charges to be pressed. Hence the song. “Let the punishment fit the crime”.
Look at our fellow citizens and tell me the last time you saw someone who looked like they needed a good meal.
The same in these African and other third world countries, apparently cases of starvation were pretty rare (although that may have changed now with the lockdown induced hardship in countries like Kenya (“Keen-yah?) and Madagascar (which Western mainstream media seem to have kept quiet about)). I assume actual starvation is pretty rare in Britain (well perhaps not in certain “care” homes) at the current time (though I don’t doubt that there are plenty of people who are struggling). I can only hope and pray that this doesn’t change in the coming months and years with the treacherous policies of our politicians.
Lots of people look like they urgently need a good meal, but not a big meal…
Bit of fish, lots of veg.
All fine and dandy until it’s you they steal from.
Round here the police will take no action on shoplifting cases under the value of £250
This new policy is not written down anywhere and will be officially denied
Or under the kind British rulers of Ireland in past times, get hanged for stealing a turnip.
I kid you not – one Stoney Brennan was one.
Mind you the present mob in charge of modern Ireland were good learners.
Yes sounds similar to the party fines where a single mum having a birthday party for her child gets fined the same amount as super rich MPs have a booze up.
Politics is all over football these days. There’s the rainbow shirt ( or indeed rainbow bootlaces). Then there’s the “taking the knee” (which still continues in some places and is of course associated with a “Marxist” organisation (though so far as I can tell originated with an American football player). And if that is not enough, there have been various gestures of support for the Ukraine. And, I dare say, gestures of support for charities linked to the pharmaceutical industry. You know, people used to complain about the politics involved in Rangers and Celtic matches. Now it seems such politics is common place.
Maybe it’ll be kilts for all…
And nappies underneath and on the face?
“But there is very little in the book on the global impact of Floyd’s death. The authors do not have a lot of interest in the wider world, nor do they seem to have a great understanding of it. In one historical passage, for instance, they write that Scotland was a country that was dominated by “the British” “. (UnHerd)
Goodness, I always thought it was was Wales that was dominated by the British?
Scotland certainly did well enough out of the British Empire, and not least Glasgow.
“Officers should use discretion…” “…crimes of poverty ‘Should be dealt with in the best way possible’.” Dangerous comment, that, from the C.I. of Constab. Lockdowns, dangerous vaccines, et al – all dealing with the situation in the best way possible, of course.
ITEM: “COVID-19: don’t be fooled, the kids are not okay” – Deliberate self-harm admissions to intensive care units increased during COVID-19 lockdowns according to new research, Cate Swannell reports in InSight.
Paediatric ICU (PICU) admissions of teenagers following deliberate self-harm amongst 12–17 year-olds during Australia’s endless lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 shot up by 60% from a monthly rate of 7.2 per million teenagers pre-lockdown in March 2020 to 11.4 when the lockdowns were in full swing by August 2020. “Ingestion of a drug”, “hanging or strangulation” and “non-drug ingestion” were the favoured methods of self-harm. 5% of the teens died from their injuries whilst in ICU.
Professor Patrick McGorry, professor of youth mental health at the University of Melbourne, said this is a data signal of a more extensive “surge in mental health problems for young people during the pandemic … you simply cannot continue to force people to stay home indefinitely, and in the case of young people, stay away from schools and their social networks”.
So, the pandemicists essentially sacrificed the lives and wellbeing of those at miniscule risk from Covid (the paediatric population) for the sake of squeezing out a few more months of miserable, isolated lockdowned living of those already at the end of their natural life span (the geriatric population). Well done, lockdown lovers!
The regime’s puppets in Westminster have revoked freedom of speech with the Online Safety Bill and revoked the freedom to protest with a series of totalitarian measures, and now this too. These freedoms were hard won by brave men, and filthy, treacherous lying little weasels and snots as currently make up the Tory Party have no right to remove them.
Ignore them all. Protest more not less. Cut the tags off and throw them in the gutter. If you get charged with anti-protesting legislation, such as Section 5, then use S5 as a post-nominal and wear it with pride. Take their power away.
I think after 2 years is it not obvious that people are not going to “rise up and overthrow the evil elite”.
Instead it’s just more wiping the handle of their shopping trolleys outside Tesco, wearing face masks and steamed-up glasses.
Is it not time to ‘wake-up’ to the obvious, that Tony Blair is not going to jail, neither is Reiner Fuellmich coming over the horizon with his merry band of ‘lawyers’ with the aim of setting up Nuremberg 2 trials.
Also an embarrassing fact that many who cried they would boycott Tesco…. carried on shopping there.
Isn’t there supposed to be yet another ‘peaceful protest’ in London tomorrow? Seems to be very little detail on what the protest is about, or when, or where… I expect the ‘MSM’ have censored that info!
To be honest, having read through the other articles in the round up, that seems increasingly like a pretty decent plan…
You may put ’em on the list,
For they’d none if ’em be missed.
Thing is, if the Kiwis like her and vote for her, what could ‘the world’ expect to do about it?
Perhaps buy all Kiwis a Kindle version of a book explaining Stockholm Syndrome?
“The Bonnie and Clyde of bioethics…” There are fifth-columnists everywhere! It must have been years ago that people like Christine Grady were being inserted into organisations like the NIH. That it should all culminate in the shenanigans of the last two and a half years is not coincidental, then.
It seems only right for the UK that the obese should outnumber the healthy as we know from belief in Climate Nonsense, Covid Nonsense and Vaccine Nonsense that the stupid outnumber the sane.
That stored body fat may come in very useful in the coming starvation years

Ahhhh. Now there’s someone with some common sense.
The munchers are on the march – oh, hang on, that can’t be right.
That made me chuckle. Thank you.
It’s because of food and time poverty that the unemployed they can only afford takeaways rather than cooking veg for themselves.
Plus lack of food education – what is healthy for the human body to eat, how to cook it etc etc
“COVID-19: don’t be fooled, the kids are not okay” New Zealand, “Even though masks were never mandated for Years 1 to 3, we’d always encourage mask use and some of our 5-year-olds wear masks exceptionally well,” Lethbridge said. Doing this to children is Exceptionally evil. NZ Parliament still muzzled, why the extremism, don’t they look at the figures and other countries.
ITEM: “One in five worked with Covid symptoms” – Around 20% of Australians admit they risked working while having COVID-19 symptoms in order to make ends meet, reports Northern Beaches Review.
Sounds to me like they had a cold (a lot of ‘Covid’ is simply the common cold rebranded) and were well enough to rock up to work. If they had a full-on bout of the flu then they would not even be able to think about turning up to work (a fair bit of more serious ‘Covid’ is simply rebranded flu – the useless PCR test can’t tell the difference between the SARS virus, the common cold coronavirus and the influenza virus).
Anyway, congratulation to them for disobeying self-isolation rules by continuing to work, especially the third of younger employees who soldiered on. Yes, it was to continue to work and make a living because they couldn’t bludge at home because they either had no paid sick leave entitlements (more than a third of all employed Australians, such as casual shift workers, have no access to statutory paid sick leave rights) or had used up their allowance of sick days. But, if they actually had ‘Covid’ (whatever that means) but were well enough to rock up to their job, then Covid is no big deal and the more people who spread it through work or being active in society the sooner herd immunity is achieved.
And even lockdown lovers and ‘stay-home-if-you-are-crook’ zealots would have to acknowledge that their pet ‘restriction’ scheme can never work because of economic realities.
That’s an interesting belief. What led you to it?
>“Police officers investigating murders and rapes from home”
I remember a TV series of an Oxford detective solving murders from a variety of nice pubs I drank in.
After a six-week campaign in advance of tomorrow’s federal election, two conclusions are inescapable.
One – Labor Opposition leader Anthony Albanese doesn’t want to win; and
Two – Incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison thinks he can win by treating the voters like idiots.

MSM: Monkey pox cases DOUBLE!!!
Just when we thought it was safe to lead our normal lives again.
TUT,TUT, us sceptics (normals) will ignore the usual claptrap that the “experts” will trot out, as we did with “Covid”
Aren’t we selfish?
I’d say ‘A pox on monkeys!’ but it seems already to have happened.
More Monkeypox news. Attached is a screen shot of the “timeline” related to this infection.
Why has the screenshot disappeared? how can i delate the post?

Hell, it’s NZ – no risk of a kangaroo court there.

Wee Jimmy Krankie tests positive for Covid.
Are we supposed to be interested?
Monkeypox news: the British authorities may possibly try to encourage gay men in particular to accept vaccination.
Look at the sheer semi-literate sh*t talk that is used to convey this news in the Daily Mail:
“Gay men could be offered monkeypox vaccine in targeted rollout as experts fear dozens of infected patients are slipping under radar”
Experts this, experts that, experts the other! Who can take an article seriously that’s written like that? But the radar, oh the radar! Perhaps that should be “gaydar”?
“Target” is a very commonly used word at the present time, usually as a verb. It’s high up on the “Verbs for Morons” list.
