Children at the Wales high school in Rotherham can only dream of returning to normal school life, with mask-wearing outside of the classroom and a ban on different year groups mixing continuing into the future. “We’ve got to remember that Covid is still here,” says Headteacher Pepe Di’Iasio. The Guardian has the story.
Rotherham… is currently one of the most infected areas in England and Di’Iasio is worried that the cases will increase with the beginning of the academic year, as university students return to Sheffield. “There is going to be an influx of people to the area that has one of the highest rates in South Yorkshire,” he said. “And so we wanted to establish some routines that can be maintained for the next three or four weeks. If things go well, we will scale those routines back rather than bring new routines in.”
Di’Iasio said that the stricter measures have been met with support from staff and parents, but he thinks it will be a learning curve for the pupils, especially those arriving from primary schools who did not have to wear masks before. “When students have to have a mask on all the time it is an easy rule to maintain, whereas now they have to remember to put their mask on when they leave the classroom,” he said. …
“With the face masks during lessons it was harder to learn the names or tell who is misbehaving. Many pupils would be agitated towards the end of the class,” said Grace Stansfield, a languages teacher at the school. “And especially when teaching languages, it is useful for the children to see you speak.” Like other staff members, Stansfield hopes that the school’s current measures will prevent a return to the stricter regime from last year.
The Guardian throws its weight behind the enforcement of strict measures at the school by quoting from a number of students who seem to be happy to carry on wearing face masks.
“The masks can be irritating, but they are there for protection,” said Alistair Daoud, a year 12 pupil who has lost his grandmother due to the virus. “I would rather wear a face mask than lose 12 days of valuable learning time for isolation.” However, Alistair is glad that he will only have to wear a mask outside the classroom, as he found it distracting during lessons. Many of his teachers agree with him.

The most interesting story this evening, is, IMO Tucker Carlson getting sacked.
Apparently, an employee has made a harassment complaint against him. But this was after he did this monologue (solid, red pilled, Neil Oliver style monologue alert):
https://youtu.be/t9eN19qkZRk
And then Rupert Murdoch himself said he needed to be sacked.
So the most successful news and current affairs opinion anchor of all time, who pulls in the largest audiences of all networks, is sacked within a couple of days of a “harassment” complaint being made, and at the behest of Rupert Murdoch (who hasn’t been lent on by his globalist billionaire and deep state friends. Not at all).
They think we are idiots.
Didn’t these people watch Star Wars?
“You can’t win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
As I understand it, Tucker isn’t personally being sued. The producer in question has made claims about working conditions at Fox in general and happened to be working on Tucker’s show, having worked on another before at Fox. Megyn Kelly has said she’s dubious about the claims in post-Ailes Fox.
Glenn Greenwald is talking about the sacking right now on his show on Rumble. He reckons it’s because Tucker continually fails to toe the establishment Republican line, given Paul Ryan is on the board of Fox. Lots of good examples to back up his points.
Tucker is going to slay it if he goes fully independent.
Good Info, thanks. The source I was listening to is fairly low brow (Jeremy Hamlin, the Quartering) and didn’t have any details.
I tend to agree. From what I’ve seen of his recent pieces, he has gone into ‘truth mode’, telling it how it is without regard to party narratives.
I think he is personally named in the lawsuit, along with Fox…
https://www.npr.org/2023/04/24/1171641969/fox-news-fires-tucker-carlson-in-stunning-move-a-week-after-787-million-settleme
Fox recently settled a $787 million lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems…a suit Tucker featured in…….and…….
I saw this Twitter earlier….I don’t know how true it might be…LOL..
Blackrock owns 59.M shares of
Dominion
Blackrock owns 45.7M shares of
Fox. Blackrock sued itself and fired TuckerCarlson as part of that
lawsuit.
FIGURED IT OUT YET?
Tucker Nails it ! He’s right over the Target so they’ve sacked him , it’s so obvious ! Has anyone got RK Jnr,s Fox interview with TC ??
I can’t move for people all over comments sections everywhere saying they’ll no longer watch Fox News, cancelling accounts and giving full support for Tucker. He’s defo got the last laugh as Fox have just shot themselves in the foot big time and Tucker will be a roaring success when he decides to do a Kim Iverson and go independent elsewhere. He’ll immediately have a huge amount of loyal followers because he’s unafraid to speak the quiet parts out loud. Now he no longer has the constraints at Fox the world’s his oyster. Good luck to the guy, he’s got it made hasn’t he? Now he can really let rip, lol!

The only loser here is Fox. Wherever Tucker goes next (or maybe does a Mark Steyn and goes independent) he will have a huge following.
BBC News: “Teenagers could be at risk of rare diseases after a drop-off in vaccinations during the Covid pandemic, UK health officials are warning.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-65372941
And they could be at risk of rare – or possibly not so rare – adverse effects if they get vaccinated.
OMG that’s terrible. Everyone knows vaccines are double-plus good. They contain electrolytes.
“Young people at risk of disease as concerning numbers miss out on life-saving vaccines”
Agreed.
On the vaccines for adolescents stories – does anyone know if there is a website or organisation that independently assesses the vaccines offered to young people? I’m working on the assumption that they are all bad, and my kids aren’t having any more, but maybe some are ok? I still seem to have some faith in mankind that they haven’t been injecting us with poison all these years but perhaps I am wrong.
I’d start with the Children’s Health Defense site as I’m sure you’ll find everything you want vaccine related there. Honestly, work on the assumption that all are bad, especially as the future of vaxxes has mRNA written all over it and Big Pharma are just extremely rich and powerful criminal organizations that only profit from chronically sick people and lying that you need a jab as prophylaxis for a disease that is either a) not a serious risk to you, or, b) current treatments, such as antibiotics, already exist and the disease can be treated easily.
The recent RSV trial that was stopped is a good example. Totally unnecessary to have a jab for such a disease;
”RSV is uncommon in adults and easily treated with nebulizers and advanced medications on occasion. As shown in this very large trial, RSV vaccination did not lead to reductions in hospitalization or adults in either the vaccine or placebo group—because no one become seriously ill.
Safety of the vaccine was acceptable with the caveat there were more deaths in the vaccine group; none attributed to the vaccine by Pfizer (Supplemental Table 7).
As an adult medicine doctor, I can tell you this massive trial is unimpressive because RSV is so mild and rare in adults. In other words, 34,284 patients had to be randomized to spare 12 cases of RSV with three symptoms. So why bother with a short term vaccine when it can be easily treated with inhalers or nebulizers at home?”

I think STRIVE (student and education vaccine resources) goes into each vaccine – some are much worse than others. If you have daughters, I believe the HPV is one to be avoided. It has a rate of complications that had it been a pill, it would have been withdrawn. Regular cervical smears mean that it is unecessary. It only protects against a small number of the different types of HPV. The HPV is very common and usually self cleared by the immune system. In a risk benefit analysis, it’s high risk and virtually no benefit. Some of the others are less of a problem and you might want to pick and mix.

I know we could be here all day talking about the pitfalls of vaccines and their trials etc but one thing that’s important to remember, that I read somewhere, and that the general public won’t be aware of is that the vaccines aren’t even tested against a true placebo in trials. I think it’s always just another vaccine or the adjunct ( aluminium, for e.g ) and never just saline, so the results will be skewed from the get-go and look better than they would have. And here was naive me, for years assuming that for drugs and vaccines, they had to test against a saline jab/sugar pill to see if the medical intervention is better than actually doing nothing. I think good health and a functioning immune system is the nemesis of Big Pharma. Healthy people aren’t profitable. Best make us ill with the cumulative effect of many jabs as kids so we can become repeat customers later in life.
What I also wasn’t aware of is that drugs aren’t tested with children because that would be ‘unethical’.
After approval, they just give it to them and cross their fingers.
But it’s ‘ethical’ to test vaccines with children, even though safety requirements are much lower for vaccines to get approved than for drugs.
Now try to make sense of that.
Thanks for the website, it was really useful, basically advised against all of them apart from the Meningitis one, which it seemed ambivalent about interestingly.
it was a question about tetanus on a school trip form that got me thinking, don’t know if it is possible to get a tetanus one without the diphtheria and polio
The Forgotten Side of Medicine covers some of the major vaccines in this post: https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/what-are-the-risks-and-benefits-of . TLDR: better to focus on treatment and natural immunity. The Forgotten Side of Medicine is a great substack, the posts are very long like book chapters though.
Curtis Cost & RFK Jr have both come to the conclusion following many years of study that there is no such thing as a safe vaccine.
This archive article of an 1889 publication looking at 45 years of vaccination effectiveness is insightful – the health of all the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated was worse. It’s been known for an awful long time that vaccines are harmful to health.

Del Bigtree at the Highwire is very good..his ICAN group have a lot of stuff about vaccines… the ICAN lawyer Aaron Siri is the one who took Pfizer to court to get the ‘Pfizer papers’….they are also the ones who have done a lot of work around vaccine and autism….

Is the start of mass redundancies?
We have a downticker celebrating my posting a link to an article about mass redundancies in the UK.
Even DS gets infected at times.
I affectionately refer to them as ”The Hamster Penis Brigade” due to their lack of you know what. Oooh sexist, moi?? heehee
Nice one Mogs.
Just upticked you and Mogs – it’s like a football game but you’re now 3-1 up and it’s not even time for the half-time oranges! Yes, worrying that even a delivery company (are they just a delivery company?) is going bust. I guess it’s connected to the forced destruction of our economy aka the cost of living crisis and people deciding they don’t need as much or just doing their own local shopping. Who knows… It’s crap anyway.
Thanks very much Aethelred.
“Arcturus already makes up one in 40 new Covid cases”
Well slapper my thigh!
We’re all doomed!… Again
You can see what’s happening now can’t you? How the world has significantly changed over the last few years due to the social engineers/psycho globalists being busy little evil gits so that our reality and sense of what’s normal is totally warped compared to 2019 and prior…
Woke cult aside, now we are not allowed to ever forget that a new and improved deadly virus is lurking around every corner, like an omnipresent bogeyman getting ready to pounce, it’s a threat that must always be in our periphery vision and placed permanently in our conscious minds. A ridiculously transparent PsyOp, using fear as a weapon to control and enforce compliance. I just hope enough people see through whatever made-up BS they decide to throw at us next. Monkey Pox=flop, Marburg=flop, evil killer fungus=flop. They’re gonna have to come up with something impressive! LOL
I’m 60, born and bred in what used to be England.
I have never felt as uneasy about life as I do now, something un-nerving is happening to all common sense! It’s palpable,. It started 3 years ago,normality ended and this strange new reality began!
I moved to the south west of ireland in 2015 and bloody glad I did!
It’s not perfect, but Britain is a long lost cause!
Hi Dinger .I am of a similar age and still live in that mythical land .What you said rang a big bell with me .
I think it started when we had the Fascist Blair regime and I have been uneasy about all things “government” since then.
The last 3 years have switched this unease up to hyper .
I am really concerned about where this is going for my daughter and any future grandchildren.. The biggest worry is what can “we” do.
Voting seems to be a pretty useless action now so do we start some kind of active resistance such as the “eco” loonies .
I do not know where to go with this .
Does anybody else feel the same??
Completely in agreement Sinor. The country suffered from a humongous virus called Bliar over twenty years ago and there is no vaccine in sight.
And the bastard still keeps turning up on radio and TV mainly BBC .
We need a double barrelled vaccine for it !!!
Also in the same age spectrum and I love this country even though I lived abroad until 2020 and can’t bear to see lesser people actively destroy it. My own way of combatting this is to take it to the local level and have it out with the councillors on their plans for sustainability and to learn as much as I can about sovereignty and common law. I’ve done this several times now and won’t stop. We are ramping up the rhetoric, spreading news (even though most don’t or can’t hear it!), we are doing our research and pushing back and countering each attempt to take away our freedoms.
Our local SitPs have been a great source of strength even though it’s an older age demographic. More lately, we made contact with one of the local sustainability agenda crowd who is actually a decent (though deluded) guy and who was at least open to listening. In fact, he encouraged debate. This has been a major step forward. I guess for people of our age, we are nearer the Exit and so wouldn’t have to suffer any of the nonsense for too long. However, it’s our children and theirs who are important here. As far as I am concerned, it’s them who I am most concerned about. If anything, the darker it gets, the more strength I draw and the more resilient and resistant I get.
Well said
!
Up until recent years I thought I was close enough to the exit not to have to worry about any of this but the pace of change seems to have picked up and not for the better!
Thanks for your thoughts A. I had always thought that local stuff was pretty useless and that you needed to go to your MP .But based on my experiences during Covid you may have a point .My neighbour is a local councillor so perhaps I need to start there ..
Sorry to say but i voted for the the pius twat! I’ve since grown a critical brain, so never again. Best voice you have now is apathy, don’t vote! You’ll only get more of the same thing if you do
Ah St Anthony of the cottage .I never had any doubts that he was a cnut and history proves that
Tucker Carlson is a bona fide f- ing hero!
And like bud light, I hope Fox news suffers for his horrendous treatment!

Seconded.
And of course I would not expect anything else from Midazolam Matt. If this is the view of the majority of UK MPs re the WHO treaty then the writing’s on the wall really;

Plus, at this point, assume all vaccines are best avoided.
Too bloody true
A “marketeer” is a person or persons involved in all aspects of the promotion,pricing ,distribution and development of a product .Normally a product manager or similar .
Basically the name in an organisation who has responsibility for shifting the units and normally has some sales and profit targets for said product .I know this cos I was one once lol

Any commendations accepted these days.
I have just been over at TCW reading the comments section:
71 NHS doctors stranded in Sudan….I know – WTF?
4000 Brits also stranded. As somebody has correctly pointed out these will be British passport holders and not true Brits. Their life in Sudan funded from UK benefits. They will live high on the hog from those payments.
We also have a very large contingent of benefit wallahs in the Indian subcontinent.
Eastern Europeans also enjoy a tremendous uplift in their local wages from UK benefit payments. Poland in particular gratefully receives a mill or two per month in Child Benefit “subsidies.”
Nice.
Yes I heard that this morning as well .I am sure they are all Anglo Saxon chaps who just like a short break in 3rd world countries .
For all benefits there should be a annual check where the person claiming has to turn up at a UK location with proof of residence .I am sure anybody with a bit of gumption could match Government records or similar to do this .”If no turn upee or no matchy then no doshee!” Be a bit Jack Nicholson in the Departed .However I guess as usual the blob do nothing as Human rights or whatever intervene.What about UK Taxpayers rights !!

NEW – Justin Trudeau Rewrites History By Now Saying He Never Forced Anyone To Get Vaccinated
“There are potential side effects in vaccinations. And there are people who’ve probably gotten very sick from vaccinations…While not forcing anyone to get vaccinated, I chose to make sure all the incentives and all the protections were there to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated”
Going through and deleting some of the ‘Covid Crap’ from my files today…and came across this…..LOL….
I’m saving it for when I need a laugh…..it’s from 2021 and worth a read, even if only to remind you how deadly stupid it all was….
Here’s a few highlights….
https://www.newsweek.com/are-you-unvaccinated-its-time-make-end-life-plan-opinion-1622867
……If you chose not to get the vaccine, it’s time for you to let your doctors know what ending well looks like for you.
For some of you, COVID-19 will be the deadliest virus you will face in your life. If you are holding off on getting vaccinated, there is one important thing that you should consider doing: complete an advance directive—a document explaining how you want medical decisions about you to be made if you cannot speak for yourself.
Share the document with your loved ones. Have conversations about what matters most to you, consider what kinds of treatment you are willing to undergo for a chance to get better, and talk through your wishes in different scenarios for quality of life.
There are increased reports of patients expressing regrets that they did not get vaccinated in their dying moments. This trend will only continue to increase, as COVID-19 deaths will almost exclusively be among the unvaccinated.
Without immunity, COVID can infect and kill anyone, whether you are five years old or 85 years old. Currently, 99 percent of deaths from COVID-19 in this country are among the unvaccinated, some of whom are young people who have refused the shot. In areas with low vaccination rates, hospital systems are already overwhelmed…..
….it’s a wonder we are still here!!
