Obviously, net zero carbon is a project doomed to failure (or maybe success, if one’s goal is to reduce the world’s population by starvation or any other means necessary).
This brings me on to the victory of the Farmers-Citizen Movement (BBB) in the Dutch elections (who stood against the political moves to destroy Dutch farming on the pretext of changing the climate). I suggest that we know from history what the consequences of damaging productive farms are – in “Zimbabwe”, where European farmers were forced out and the former bread basket of Africa became a basket case; in Soviet times when millions starved after the collectivisation of farms; in the PRC where the massacre of sparrows to stop them eating the grain resulted in the proliferation of insects previously eaten by the sparrows,with the insects eating far more grain than the sparrows ever did, causing starvation.
I suggest furthermore that the example from Holland demonstrates that something can be done. I was talking to someone standing as an independent in the upcoming local elections, who relates that you don’t have to pay a deposit to stand, and that it really isn’t that difficult to get your name down on the ballot paper; that you don’t need to give your exact address, and that even without campaigning, you will take votes from people fed up with the old, corrupt parties who just want something different, which especially in marginals will send a message that people are fed up with the whole bunch of them. I would urge all those who feel able (and who haven’t given up on politics altogether) to consider standing, and for those who can’t or won’t stand, to at least support an independent or someone outside the old, corrupt parties who have brought us unprecedented human rights abuses in the last few years (three years next Thursday, lest we forget). It may or may not work, but at least you can feel that you are doing something.
I read something yesterday which says that the BBB is controlled opposition with funding links to Bayer, ie Monsanto which is no friend to the farmer & aligns itself with Agenda 30 & the WEF.
No link to the source so I cannot verify it. If this is so, it’s all very depressing.
Surely the downside is the danger of being elected. Then you would be condemned to spending time with councillors from the older parties who you would not have employed or chosen as friends, such is their general quality.
I think it’s all pretty pointless in the UK with its FPTP uniparty system.
The sabotage of Truss, 50% intending to vote for Labour and just 2% for Heritage which is a proper alternative and the truly scandalous behavior of MPs yesterday just before Andrew Bridgen was about to speak are strong indications of that futility.
TCW has this one out today for those who think otherwise and want to pester their MP a bit:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/ten-questions-for-your-mp-dont-hold-your-breath-for-the-answers/
I am with Craig Murray (see my/his comment under the SNP article) and the Z Man, who provides the best and most apt descriptions of the hive mindset and workings of the managerial/political class today- why they won’t and simply can’t listen to objections like Prof. Kelly’s against their Covid, Climate, wokeness etc. agendas and the banality of them and how they came and the next ones will come into existence.
https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=29525
“The thing is, this is not a front brain activity. People are not looking around on every issue, counting noses and anticipating the majority. Instead it is an instinctual thing, arrived at by interacting with the people in close proximity. It is why the metaphor of the hive is so important. Like drones in a hive, the people in the managerial class do not know why they believe what they believe. They just know everyone they know supports men in dresses, so it must be the right thing to do.”
“It Was A ‘Vaccine Strategy’ From The Start”
Seriously? This is the daily sceptic is it not?
Sorry Toby, but you seem to be enjoying the limelight a little too much! Seem to be forgetting your roots amongst all the fame and fortune?
Where the f are you Toby? Too big for us mere plebs now? Rubbing shoulders with the high and mighty all the time leaves a little bit more shit on you!
Seems your getting caught up in all the bright lights, big city! Impressing all your famous mates are you? Careful Toby!!!
4 downticks! Do not question the chosen one! This is the way of the woke!
I love a good rankle!
I’ve got a bad feeling about the direction of the daily sceptic! Anyone else?
There should be 100 downticks and no upticks, but upto now, its 50/50!
Perhaps there are other subscribers on here like me who hardly ever use downticks. Stupidity is not really worth the bother.
“Why “serious” scientists do not buy lab leak
“What’s this all about, Toby?
It’s the title of the linked article, which uses it ironically in a piece suggesting that the virus was deliberately leaked by US agencies, not accidentally by the Chinese. That seems fairly non-mainstream to me.
If you read the article the author is putting forth the theory that the virus was not caused by an animal or that it came from a lab-leak in Wuhan. I agree with him. To exclusively blame the Chinese at this point is to ignore all of the evidence we have of U.S involvement ( they are the architects, after all ) plus the facts that the virus was reported in other countries, not just in addition to China but *before* China, such as the U.S and Italy. I think it is reasonable to believe, based on available evidence, that this virus was made in a lab/labs, and deliberately released in multiple countries.
I stand corrected!
“that this virus was made in a lab/labs, and deliberately released in multiple countries”
Exactly. A point I have made many, many times.
The stories on ds are starting to have a monotonous empty ring to them,like a bell with a crack in it! Getting funding from somewhere else?
If so, say so and I’ll withdraw mine!
Still charging a fiver to get in touch?
I think DS also publish pieces that are alternative in that they challenge our sceptical thinking. I get that some of them rankle because we all have our confirmation biases to varying degrees but it is good to have them challenged now and again. I don’t think DS is becoming more mainstream, just providing some fodder from an alternative perspective for us to read and squabble over. lol A lot of the articles now I don’t even click on as they don’t interest me. We each take what we want from the site and leave the rest. That way there’s something for everyone.
Very diplomatic
There are plenty of echo chambers you will feel fine in on the net, Twitter etc..
I appreciate being confronted with intelligent different opinions than mine here.
The only thing I find annoying are your comments here today.
“Broken promises on immigration have led to a Brexiteer exodus from the Tories”
Or Labour!? Same club!
Don’t vote!
That’s the biggest message you could ever send!
“Nicola Sturgeon’s gender reforms blamed for SNP losing 40% of its membership”
Oh well! We’ll just vote in an Asian replacement!
“Britain is addicted to mass migration – and it is not racist to say this must change”
Whats the true population of the uk? These are the questions the ds used to ask!
Happy St Patrick’s hangover day!
I put this on a story ATL, don’t know if you saw it? Andrew Bridgen talking to an empty House, yesterday….and getting a thoroughly pathetic response…
The thing is YouTube have already deleted it…which someone in Government should be making a song and dance about..but they won’t…..shocking in so many ways….
https://rumble.com/v2dkxea-british-mp-andrew-bridgen-leads-an-adjournment-debate-on-the-efficacy-of-th.html
Jesus wept!
The sad state of British politics!
Where are the hero’s?
Bridgen is a god!
Yeah I posted it last night under a different article. It’s how the bent little shysters all scurry out at the beginning like rats, which is massively insulting to a colleague and speaks volumes, which p’d me off big time!
That was truly stunning, scandalous and hyper anti-democratic.
But it is ignored by the media, even the DS…, and the poisoned sheep need it thus way are absolutely fine with it.
It reminds me of the German parties and media’s undemocratic treatment of the AfD, while simultaneously smearing that party as being the only undemocratic one.
A certain propagandist’s ‘Always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty!’ cones to mind.
Yes…it’s taken me some time as I didn’t recognise the man who speaks at the end…from the BigPharma script…vaccines saved lives, UK should be proud of its vaccine rollout etc etc….
It’s Will Quince who is the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Social Care. He will be going on my ‘never trust or vote for’ list..LOL!

@ABridgen
.@YouTube have taken down the speech I gave in Parliament today. I am an elected member of the UK Parliament. The speech was given in the Chamber of the House of Commons and responded to by a Government Minister, what chance has anyone else got of putting their views on YouTube?
Oh I’m sure JRM will jump on the case.
Still up on Dr John Campbell’s channel with a short intro from him: (2) UK Parliament – YouTube
The Merkel/UniEssen ties to Wuhan stink and might also explain the head start of Drosten and BioNTech, the Pfizer hookup and the continued political preference of their dodgy product over the other dodgy ones and Germany’s particular Covidian zeal, including its unique, continued and ever more intensifying focus on Long Covid as an umbrella for and deflection from PostVac damages.
This is one of the best, clearest and most shocking analysises of how and where the UK fell apart economically over the last 2 decades. That one chart in particular hit home with me, as I arrived here to flee German socialism in 1995 but am now at the same level of it here as when I left.

Plenty of Ukraine stuff here today, so I’ll add this clear debunking of the pathetic sailboat fairy tale by Scott Ritter and a short comment and reference to Sy Hersh’s recent interview with Chris Hedges, where he stated that Z. is in trouble with his generals because he takes a too big cut, in order to prove that his level of info runs very deep.

Kit Knightly – I share his position entirely.
Bridgen’s HOC speech back up on YT: (3) Efficacy of the mRNA covid-19 booster, 17 Mar 2023 – YouTube
He states vaxx program has cost UK £8.3BN so far – not sure if that includes payouts for vaxx injuries. Costs > £9M to prevent one hospitalisation for covid for healthy 30-39 year olds.
