Welsh Stab up ! Any details ? Also what’s the inside story of the double horse bolt in London ?
Morning btw
Morning Freddy. Further details here but not much about the psycho teenage girl as yet. It was obviously premeditated because who takes a knife into school? Nobody sane. And what on earth is a ‘Code Red’ alert?? It’s not even London! Is this the new norm in high schools now?
Regarding the horses, it was 5 on the loose. They got spooked by some noise from the construction site, threw their riders and there were some injuries to some of the animals but they were rounded up and are being treated. The grey one was bleeding a lot so I hope all recover. Obviously that goes for the 2 teachers and 1 pupil who got stabbed in Wales too.
”The horrifying attack, being treated by police as an ‘attempted murder’, unfolded in front of terrified pupils who fled screaming as the girl lashed out at a secondary school in Wales during break time.
Shocking footage captured on a pupil’s phone showed how heroic rugby teacher Darrel Campbell overpowered the alleged assailant, restraining her in an armlock and pulling her back from one of the victims who crumpled to the ground.
In the 15-second clip being shared on social media, panicked fellow pupils could be heard shouting: ‘That girl’s got stabbed’ before a teacher orders them to, ‘Get to class now’.
Hundreds of pupils were locked down in their classrooms as police raced to Amman Valley School in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire shortly after 11.20am.
On Wednesday night detectives were quizzing a Year 9 pupil, who was arrested at the scene. Eyewitnesses described seeing a wounded teacher bleeding from the throat as she was carried by paramedics to an air ambulance which landed on the school playing field.”

Daily Clout
Meet the new Left, who think Hamas are good and that Swastikas are woke
The new left are just like the old left….they like spending other people’s money:
‘Though Singham’s name is nowhere to be found on The People’s Forum’s website or its tax documents, the organization isn’t shy about admitting they’re taking his cash. Singham is “a Marxist comrade who sold his company & donated most of his wealth to nonprofits that focus on political education, culture & internationalism.’
‘It seems to bother some folk that we receive funding that furthers our anti-imperialist politics.’
The People’s Forum sings from the same pro-China hymn sheet as its chief funders.’
‘At its multiroom modern headquarters in Midtown (NY), which anyone can visit, The People’s Forum hosts classes like “Lenin and the Path to Revolution,” praising countries like China and Cuba that have “smash[ed] the shackles of Western imperialism,’
‘For now, the People’s Forum is focusing on its pro-Palestinian agenda, calling for “more marches, walk-outs, sit-ins, and other forms of direct action directed at the political offices, businesses, and workplaces that fund, invest, and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation.” The next protest co-organized by the forum, called “Shut It Down for Palestine,” is taking place November 17 in at least 18 locations across the world including Copenhagen, New York City, Idaho, and Iowa.’
The pro-palestine marches across the West are funded from China, like so much of the nonsense that is re-circulated by the mind numbingly dumb on social media:
‘Coordinated attempt to push pro-China, anti-Western narratives on social media’ Ross Burley
Why are these wealthy nincompoops so dumb?
Remember this?
‘So I think we predicted quite well that, depending on what the disease was, it could spread very, very, very quickly. The spread did not surprise us.
What did surprise us is we hadn’t really thought through the economic impacts.’

‘Tech bros appear to be especially susceptible to brain-rotting contrarianism. As I wrote in my newsletter, their financial success all too often convinces them that they’re uniquely brilliant, able to instantly master any subject, without any need to consult people who’ve actually worked hard to understand the issues. And in many cases they became wealthy by defying conventional wisdom, which predisposes them to believe that such defiance is justified across the board.
Add to this the fact that great wealth makes it all too easy to surround yourself with people who tell you what you want to hear, validating your belief in your own brilliance — a sort of intellectual version of the emperor’s new clothes.
And to the extent that contrarian tech bros talk to anyone else, it’s to one another…….“it’s impossible to overstate the degree to which many big tech C.E.O.s and venture capitalists are being radicalized by living within their own cultural and social bubble.”
He calls this phenomenon of venture capitalism “VC QAnon,” a concept that I find helps explain many of the strange positions taken by tech billionaires.’
Anil Dash, Tech entrepreneur and writer
If anyone is asking themselves why the pro-palestinian marches are taking place at all, let alone why they are going on and on…..
They are lavishly funded by ‘brain rotted (the rotting helped by harmful chemicals) tech bros (out of China)’
““Sadiq Khan: I would pay if I saw somebody shoplifting nappies” – Mayor of London says seeing tags on baby products in response to people stealing them “upsets” him, the Telegraph reports.”
Well I’m not an expert but from what I’ve seen over the years, the stuff people nick from shops isn’t necessarily for themselves – a lot of it looked to me like stuff they could easily sell.
That said, it’s nice to see a “socialist” prepared to spend his own money rather than other people’s (though I am not convinced). Perhaps to make life easier he could set up a tab at selected stores.
Let’s be realistic, if the Khant paid for anybody’s shopping he would claim it on expenses.
Oh I am sure the limit to his generosity would be low but in any case he can afford it. The people who lose out are the law abiding customers, employees and shareholders of stores that suffer the theft he is condoning
Khant could do with a nappie on his face to catch the Sh1t that Parps from his little bum hole of a mouth !!
I will second that Freddy.
Well said, Freddy!
I very much doubt if exam grades will slump. The results will be inflated again so everyone’s a winner.

Any country whose citizens are stupid enough to stand outside their houses banging pots and pans together in some mindless meaningless ceremony, jeering at those who refuse to participate, deserves everything that is coming to it, in particular the legend (but not in a good way) that was British Rail!

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/vaccines-autism-and-an-epidemic-of-official-lies/
Vaccines are causing an epidemic of autism in our children. Government are of course in complete denial.
It’s the same as the Post Office scandal, isn’t it – ‘damage control’ instead of telling the truth; denial of evidence and doubling down on blaming the innocent for mistakes made by lying officials; ‘protecting the brand’ instead of protecting victims.
The doctor who linked autism with MMR jabs in the UK was vilified, traduced and discredited in order to suppress the facts. I suspected the attacks on him were a cover-up at the time.
So shameful. Wicked evildoers, liars, thieves of health and wellbeing abound in public life. Whom can we trust? No one but family and friends.
Thanks for a top post.
“ doctors waving through requests for ‘fit notes’ for patients they have not seen has been routine practice for years.”
I have been reflecting on this, but should this actually be considered fraud. Signing, without having seen the patient, just because it costs less time and you won’t get a bad review?
Strictly speaking it is fraud. The claimant gets taxpayer funded sick pay but more worrying is that it reinforces the attitude of doctors that diagnosing blind is acceptable. Given the way most have behaved these last four years it rather sums up a laziness of attitude. If everything else performed by doctors was kosher maybe we could go with this slack approach but they are multiple failures in their own right so in my opinion blind sicknotes are not acceptable. We pay them enough don’t we?
“U.K. can’t return Channel migrants to France because of Brexit, Cameron suggests”
What’s shocking for me is the quote from Traitor Roy Hattersley, found in a comment on the Breitbart article about the death of Patriot MP Frank Field, who steadfastly opposed the EU and mass immigration as harmful to the British working class.
In contrast, Traitor MP Roy Hattersley openly admitted that the entire political elite were completely ignoring the democratic will of the British people as long ago as 1964 (as David Cameron & Co. continue to this day):
“”Should I, in 1964, have called for what a clear majority of my constituents, and most of the country, undoubtedly wanted – the repatriation of all Commonwealth immigrants?”
Commenter Hybird wrote: “Unfortunately, the likes of slobbering, treasonous, anti-democratic Hattersley dominated and still dominate the Labour Party. They don’t give a damn about what the people want – they know best!”
