F*ck off
Brilliant! Someone finally told Ms Maitlis to f*ck off! Although, endearingly, Ms M. looks rather pleased….hmmmm…….maybe because……you know……..space lasers……..
Apparently it was the space lasers in question that destroyed the chancellor’s real and clever budget so he quickly had to write a new one…..and the space lasers interfered with the electronic vote counting machines in Rochdale, giving the monster raving loony party their first success…..and the space lasers are interfering with Border Force navigation systems, preventing them from intercepting small boats……and space lasers are directing Baroness Hallett……Nicola Sturgeon and that SNP campervan…..you know……space lasers………
I saw that clip yesterday and it pleased me mightily!
Marjorie is badass. But what the heck are “Jewish space lasers” when they’re at home??
Too good:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2021/01/30/did-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-blame-a-space-laser-for-wildfires-heres-the-response/
Wow, I’ve learnt something new today! LOL. That’s far out. So Maitlis made a bit of a tit of herself really because what was the point in her asking Marjorie that? It wasn’t even related to anything and just made her sound like a right mad cow. Talking about Trump’s VP then a random segue to ”conspiracy theories” without missing a beat? Idiot woman.
There’s a great video on YT of her questioning the vile Wallensky woman (US CDC) – at a couple of points she reads out some CDC press release recommending that pregnant PEOPLE get “vaccinated” against “Covid” – as well as questioning the advice, MTG points out that it should read pregnant WOMEN.
Imagine if a Tory told a journalist to F off – they would be out on their ear.
Was Marjorie previously talking about DEWs – Directed-energy weapons – rather than Jews?
Yes.
Absolutely, Monro. I doubt Maitlis even heard a word of what Marjorie Taylor Greene was saying. It’s just get the questions in and thank you and that’s a wrap. Hopefully this was shown on the news so the public can see what pushing back at the BBC’s bias looks like.
She left the BBC a while ago
Aaaah! Well, shows how much I watch or pay attention to msm!
I had to look it up tbf
”What time do you call this?”
Well, it’s time to trigger the resident ‘Jew-Haters R Us’/’Terrorist-Supporters Utd’ peeps, naturally. We all know who you are. You’re welcome!
”Ceasefire now, people say. But what does that actually mean? So ceasefire is what we’ve had on October 6th and what we all want, obviously. But President Biden said it best. Ceasefire and a hostage deal, he said, is at the hands of Hamas.
President Biden said that Israel put down a rational offer because Israel is a rational country. The problem is that Hamas is not a rational actor. It is a genocidal Jihadi terrorist organization that doesn’t care about the lives of Palestinians. And people in the West have been yelling ceasefire now at the wrong side of this war.
Hamas has rejected countless ceasefires. Hamas and Iran are not trying to build a better life for the Palestinian people. You have to understand what Hamas and Iran are doing right now is they’re actively trying to inflame the entire Middle East right before the holy month of Ramadan, which as President Biden said is going to be very, very dangerous. And this is exactly what they are after.
There is currently a multi-front war going on in Israel in which Israel is being attacked by Jihadi terrorists from all sides, all prompted, pushed, and sponsored by Iran. Hamas, according to what was published, said that they have Israel exactly where they want her. That means the international pressure is on Israel to stop the war so that Hamas can remain in power in Gaza. So if you’re calling at Israel to ceasefire, you’re doing the bidding of Hamas.
Hamas does not want to ceasefire. They’re going to do whatever it takes in order to maintain power, including hiding in the elaborated tunnel system that they build instead of building a Palestinian state and remain in power at the cost of Israeli children and Palestinian children.
It’s time to dehamasify Gaza. And next time you demand a ceasefire, just make sure you aim it at the right direction. As President Biden said, this is at the hands of Hamas.”

Shout out to the Polish farmers and their supporters who protested yesterday and took a real battering from Tusk’s goon squad. Some brutal footage shared online but big respect to these guys for standing their ground;
”The Polish capital of Warsaw descended into violence today as police unleashed a wave of violence on Polish farmers, with viral videos showing officers deploying batons, pepper spray and tear gas against the country’s food producers.
Thousands of protesters, waving Polish flags, were pushed back by police after a small group of them burned tires in front of the office of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Such violence against protesters is rare in Poland. The farmers are demanding an end to imports of cheap Ukrainian agricultural products that are sinking the price they can command on the market, while at the same time calling for an end to costly green regulations.
Some protesters featured a sign on a coffin that read: “Farmer, lived 20 years, killed by the Green Deal”
“I want to be a farmer, not a slave to Brussels,” read another banner.”

I commend you guys for being truly indefatigable. You’re like Duracell bunnies, love it! Pay no heed to the resident grumpy gits, who really ought to know when to wind their necks in, because you’re doing a damn-sight more than they are, that’s for sure.

Totally agree Mogs.


Well credit where credit’s due. I think it’s damn rude to call people out on what they choose to post about, don’t you? Nobody’s obliged to read any of our posts. But I guess, haters being haters, scrolling on by isn’t an option because the temptation to drop some bitchy little comment is too great when you’re sitting behind your screen, protected by the knowledge you’ll never ever meet the people you’re responding to. People can’t be civil they can sling their hook, as far as I’m concerned, LOL.

Plus, respect for Lockdown Sceptic being another early riser!
With you Mogs.
Apart from the early rising bit
Definitely seconded here

The lockdown sceptics get off their arses and do things!
And all praise to them
And I agree too, HP and Mogs!
Agreed, I like to see the photos back.
Why won’t the Tories talk about their success in education?
Words of wisdom from Stephen Bush:
‘Ministers have to work out what is misplaced stakeholder interest and what is useful institutional challenge.
How to do that and how best to replicate it are lessons that can be gleaned by anyone who studies what the Conservatives have got right in education policy.
The biggest single lesson from the Tory party’s major success is the importance of stopping and thinking about what you want to do.
Rediscovering how to do that would do the Conservative party a lot of good — whether in government or opposition.’
And how do you do that?
Here you go…..it’s a handy little thing called the cost/benefit analysis.
It stops you having to blame……you know……..space lasers……for everything.

“in real terms over 20 per cent of the working age population is economically inactive. Much of that population is in receipt of benefits, such as the now six million people claiming disability, a rise of over two million over the past 20 years. And despite claims of Tory economic rigour and welfare reform, more than half of households in 2023 (54.2 per cent, comprising over 36 million people) — paid less tax than they received in benefits.”
That’s quite some achievement by the Con tories. Still we can be confident that the Davos Deviants will be delighted with this announcement.
Overall, a lacklustre comment piece by a writer who doesn’t seem to have a clue what is going on in this country. Levelling the usual bitchy criticisms as if some sort of solution might be provided by Starmer’s wing of the Uniparty is shocking.
A party supposedly in control for 14 years has brought about nothing but wholesale destruction of this country and is now ready to bail out, work done.
Sounds about right. Over to Kneel to finish the job.
“Why won’t the Tories talk about their success in education?”
On what planet?
That’s a bit of a tester MAk.

You hard-faced, lousy, firkin barstewards. Not content with doing S F A for three years the lazy fat stewards want more money out of taxpayers because their PPE was allegedly not up to scratch – disposable gloves and aprons not good enough? Masks didn’t fit?
Well if somebody provides a new unidentifiable illness previously known as ‘flu why not milk it.

I would love to see the paperwork on this one. Astra Z surely haven’t been guaranteed some lucrative contracts once this Poison Production facility is up and running.
Have they?
I thought Moderna was in the process of setting up a jab concoction factory in the uk. How many slurry farms are they proposing – no doubt with lots of taxpayer funds granted by their shyster mates in parliament.
Exactly.

Thank goodness we left the EU.

Blimey, I almost thought Chunt was going to go the whole hog and ban the likes of SAGE, SPI-B and the rest.
“Menopause isn’t a disease…” quite some years ago now, a minor and quickly fading tv ‘celebrity’ arrived at that time in her life and, it appeared to me, saw an opportunity to monetise something which previously hadn’t been monetised. Suddenly there were TV programmes, guest appearances and an accompanying book. Before this, menopause was barely mentioned in the media, and was really only of concern/interest to those going through it.
I always keep a keen eye out for former celebrities bigging up the ‘latest thing’, or even creating the latest thing – of course, it doesn’t work unless you are ‘famous’, so I’ve stopped trying to think something up myself.
At the beginning of my medical career, it was all about downtrodden menopausal women not being prescribed HRT by their callous GPs.
A decade or so later, as the significant risks of HRT (and its tendency to need continuing indefinitely) began to be known, it was all about GPs cashing in on the menopause by cavalier prescribing and causing cancer and clots.
Since I retired, all that is forgotten and we’re back to the original “HRT is safe and effective but doctors are too mean to prescribe it” spiel, except that now they’re trying to push it for former men as well.
“Chancellor Jeremy Hunt tells English councils to cut spending on consultants and diversity schemes, reports the BBC.”
They have done this in Whiytehall and it seems not to be slowing down. They have watched as local authorities and quangos waste money and change their mission and only now does it make pointless noises of complaint.
On a broader level, local democracy should enable voters to stop this but Uniparty is all we are offered at the ballot box.
“The NHS is our national shame. It’s time to abolish it”
No, the NHS worked very well when it was the NATIONAL Health Service for the British Taxpayers who paid into it all their lives. It was the envy of the world.
But since the Communist “Cloward-Piven Strategy” started operating in Britain (encouraging Mass Third World Invasion to overwhelm and collapse all infrastructure in the West), the National Health Service turned into the World Health Service, paid for only by British Taxpayers.
So of course it is collapsing, as planned by the Globalists. The evil Frances Fox Piven, born in Canada of Russian Jewish immigrants, is still gloating about the success of their strategy, even in her old age.
“Crisis, what crisis?” -Jeremy Hunt’s budget
No money for our Armed Forces, but a Quarter of a Million £Pounds for The Enemy of our Armed Forces, a Bangladeshi Muslim Terrorist with a Beheading Fetish, Shamima Begum. That’s how much the government have already given her to ruthlessly harass the UK courts to overturn their withdrawal of her citizenship, a legal decision that was supported by the whole country.
And she’s not done fleecing the British Taxpayers yet, but is continuing more court cases to take it to the EU, and next the UN. Of course, she could always join her Dutch husband in Holland, but no, she refuses. Not enough benefits or media attention there. And she could always return to her native Bangladesh where her extended family are, but no, she refuses, and they want her in Britain anyway, to continue her beheading campaign.
Funny how all those Muslims in the camps don’t mind at all that she’s traded her black duvet cover for fashionable clothes and sunglasses, to impress the poor gullible Brits by showing them “Look at me! I’m glamourous and modern, and my “3 dead babies” were really only bundles of fabric for the photo shoots, to get more sympathy. That’s why I didn’t care about them, you see?”
