Jonny Smith, co-writer of the acclaimed lockdown musical Scotch Egg, got in touch after listening to the most recent episode of London Calling and hearing the title of the closing number come up in conversation. He thought the lyrics might amuse Daily Sceptic readers, and I agree – they’re very funny.
Scotch Egg, you may recall, is a new musical set in the future, looking back at the Government’s handling of the pandemic and starring Boris Johnson and a rapping Chris Whitty – it sounds hilarious fun.

I was catching up on the excellent London Calling podcast yesterday and chuckled at James’s comment: “Well, Tobes, you can’t be too careful, after all.” This happens to be the title of the final song in our show, Scotch Egg and I thought you might enjoy seeing the lyrics (below). The show has got some great reviews and a real buzz going. We are in talks with larger theatres – latest reviews and pics on website.
“You Can’t Be Too Careful” – from “Scotch Egg – the musical”
I haven’t crossed a single city street,
Not since April nineteen ninety-three
Coz statistics truly frighten me
You can’t be too careful after allGoing outside is quite a thriller
A country walk? I’d reconsider
Coz nature is a serial killer
And you can’t be too careful after allCHORUS
You can’t be too careful
You can’t be too careful
Oh you can’t be too careful after all, not at all
Oh you can’t be too careful
You can’t be too careful
You can’t be too careful after all
Mind the gap, watch your step, stay in bed, safety first, mind your head, walk this way, catch your sneeze, wash your handsWater’s clearly so dangerous
A lifejacket really is a total must
I wear mine while sitting on the bus
You can’t be too careful after allCHORUS
You can’t be too careful
You can’t be too careful
Oh you cant’ be too careful after all, not at all
Oh you can’t be too careful
You can’t be too careful
You can’t be too careful after all
Mind the gap, watch your step, stay in bed, safety first, mind your head, walk this way, catch your sneeze, wash your handsI wear a mask!
It’s a rigorous, effective thing,
Despite the fact it’s a quarter of a nappy
Tied up with a piece of string(grandly, portentously)
I’m avoiding all humanity
Especially all my friends and family
It’s for the good of all society
And you can’t be too careful after all!

Did we know that there’s a ‘million man’ pro-Palestine march organized to take place on Armistice Day? They’re going to have to get it moved to another day. You can imagine the scenes at the Cenotaph if it’s allowed to go ahead can’t you? Police busying themselves telling people to put their England flags away because they’re racist, poppies too because they’re deemed offensive, people arrested if they show even the slightest whiff of patriotism. Meanwhile, the Muslims in the background can sing about eradicating Jews and Israel. Let’s await Khant’s comment on that shall we? Here’s what Nigel Farage thinks;
https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1720169228735574042
“plod” will get “their marching orders” as government ministers would say. Disrupting the activities of the intelligence services or their own undercover operatives won’t be one of them unless it’s accidental.
Meanwhile at the Covid inquiry we can see some real extremists and zealots in action. No amount of death and destruction will make them seek the truth.
There’s a war coming to the streets of Britain! REMEMBERANCE DAY!
NEVER in me 60 years of experience would I ever be feeling this unprotected by my own country!
Speaking of poppies being offensive, here’s Starmer;
https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1720042811427303714
Wow – embarrassed to wear a poppy when speaking to a British audience. That’s quite revealing…
The interesting item here is that GBN reported that he was selective about when to wear it.They showed a clip of him speaking at Chatham House, where he did wear a poppy, then a cut to one with him not wearing it (and evidently with the same suit, tie etc) on his other output aimed at another group.
NOT British Michael – Muslim.
Starmer is just another puppet following orders to ensure that the fear, hatred & division is sufficiently stoked for civil war to break out in this country. It’s about bringing about the NWO. Problem, reaction & then the parasite class can roll out the pre-planned solution to the masses who are crying out for a solution to a problem which didn’t exist until it was manufactured.
To everyone here – stop falling for the psych ops. Division, fear & hatred based on religion, class, culture is being purposely stoked to destroy the UK, to destroy our culture & bring about a one world totalitarian government.
Joining in that fear mongering, divisive behaviour is helping to usher in this tyranny.
Absolutely spot on BB. Unfortunately I think civil unrest is inevitable and it is a raging certainty on 11/11.
Yes..cue..lockdown (for your safety of course)….banning more protests, banning more speech, and more draconian measures….
Widespread deployment of facial recognition “to keep us safe”, more censorship, more stay at home orders, 24/7 state surveillance of everyone, everywhere- isn’t that always ‘the answer’? And any day now, up will pop Blair with his Hague poodle, extolling the virtues, convenience and safety of digital identity implants with real time location tracking (though he is exempt ‘for security reasons’). We are being played, again.
As Christine Andersen MEP has said numerous times – you cannot comply your way out of tyranny. Resistance, pushback, peaceful civil disobedience is our best weapon. It has to be peaceful as violent unrest is what the parasites want to bring in their tyranny.
Starmer’s hypocrisy is exposed. He would argue that they are British Muslims, yet he removes a hugely important token of British gratitude and pride and history when addressing a “British” audience.
Shape-shifter Starmer can’t stop himself
“The idea that no matter how bad things are, children should always go to school, seems irrevocably compromised by lockdown”
I guess it all really depends upon what happens in the schools – BS lockdowns or no BS lockdowns.
But as far as my primary, secondary and tertiary sources tell me, what really happens in those buildings is an awful lot of “schooling” and very little education.
So glad we took our two out of the mainstream system. We should never have put them there in the first place. Many parents we know have since done the same.
And without wishing to play the victim, I think I’d also be a lot better off if I had never been sent there when I was a child.
Bit of a wake-up moment, this “pandemic”…
Dr Anna Loutfi, UK Barrister spoke to us at MD4CE on Tuesday evening. She’s building a case against the Dept of Education about the lack of access for parents to the content of sex & relationship education syllabus. She confirms that having seen the curriculum courtesy of some whistle-blowers, that what is being taught is child abuse & grooming. She also said that the percentage of children being removed from state schools to be home schooled is the highest in Europe & the highest that it has ever been as more 7 more parents are sick of the emotional, sexual abuse & brainwashing that their children are subjected to by the school system.
Thanks for your update.
“The EU walks back its ruinous proposal to mandate minimum energy efficiency standards for buildings” – ‘Climatism’ is slowly dying,”
That is all very well but in the UK we have the stultifying Climate Change act. We can tinker around a bit but unless that Act is repealed or significantly amended then we seem destined for net-zero immiseration. It is hard to foresee how this will play out in the UK? If few people buy EV’s will they carry on and banish ICE cars and condemn the majority to a future of limited transport? If people do not buy heat pumps will they ban gas and oil; boilers and restrict the sale of gas and oil and just let people freeze in their homes?
It seems to me that it all has to get worse and more messy before there is any chance of it getting better. Meanwhile China, India etc. will smile serenely and carry on to become the dominant players in the world. Do any of our politicians have any vision and understanding as to where this is all heading?
Israel vs Palestine. What an absolute blinder the elites have played. They’ve even managed to get the right of centre sceptics standing shoulder to shoulder with the BBC and the Left. Impressive.
Knowing the evil stunt was probably US coordinated, and understanding the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region, should be distinct from uncritically opposing Israel and the West. To do that you are opposing Western values and a way of life most Muslims in this region find repulsive. You are emboldening Muslims who long for Jihad everywhere – including the streets of the UK. We’ll see the outcome of that support in London and other major cities over the next couple of weeks I suspect.
In the name of safety….
I went to the O2 on Wednesday. To listen to Peterson, Murray, Lomborg and Shapiro. Quite interesting.
So you are not allowed to bring in drinks or food and have to buy everything at the venue.
I thought I would buy a bottle of water (I know..I know how to live..).
£3.90 for a bottle and then he proceeded to say he could not give me the cap of the bottle…
Why?
Policy…
As I did not fancy carrying an open water bottle around for hours I decided to go thirsty.
I went to the customer service desk and asked them about this policy. The young woman proceeded to tell me this was health and safety. If the cap was on, someone could trip over a fallen full bottle of water.
I asked her if she could hear herself talking. She smiled sheepishly.
Anyway, I guess it is the world we live in.
I was all ready to go to that event. After choosing a seat I got to the checkout only to discover that it was a digital ticket system only i.e. they refused point blank to send paper tickets and you could only attend if you carried a phone into the venue to prove your purchase. I canceled at the checkout. We’ve got to draw a line somewhere haven’t we?
We went to a rugby world cup match. You could take your own bottle in if it was less than 500ml, but it had to have the cap off.
I was told it was to reduce its danger as a projectile if thrown.
Of course, not a single bottle has ever been thrown at a rugby international.
Again, it’s all about treating ordinary people as potentially dangerous, we all start believing it. The reality was that both sets of fans were getting on brilliantly well.
My OH was also going to buy a bottle of water at that event and had the same response as you … I’m thinking maybe spilt water might be a bigger hazard … maybe they just shouldn’t supply drinks, it’s just too dangerous. No chance of that though, it’s just too much of a money spinner.
I think what you describe Myra is simply theft..
Worth clicking on the Vienna waterfountain article – even in these dark times, we need a chuckle (although I did think, I wonder what this rough representation of what look like a bunch of sick and broken people is really saying?)
Here’s a system coming online today in ireland,..I’d describe it as the ‘government point to system’ when needing an excuse to introduce ulez in ireland!
Dublin ,you have been warned!
Ireland’s new national air quality forecast goes live today
https://jrnl.ie/6213252
I’ll wager air quality will be bad to worse for the next few months then ulez will soon follow!
Vienna’s new fountain…
Vienna, you are the world’s laughing stock!
I know, I saw that the other day on Jessica Rose’s Twitter and I thought it looked like a local primary school had done it as an art project! LOL Standards have slipped somewhat over there when it comes to beautiful sculptures in public places.
I thought the vid clip above about signing the ‘Free Palestine’ petition was worth a watch. It’s very well done because it perfectly illustrates that once the useful idiots are faced with some facts and become enlightened as to what they’re actually turning out in their thousands to support on a weekend, they then think twice as realization dawns. I guess ignorance is bliss when you’re in the throws of mass psychosis, supporting the latest thing like some propagandized muppet and maxing out your self-righteousness… until you no longer have ignorance to hide behind.
….all part of the plan to take us back into some kind of mediaeval dark age societally…where nothing real exists, where people don’t make or produce or appreciate anything real or truly beautiful anymore….
….while, at the same time, addling peoples brains with more unreality in the form of attention-span diluting multi-media, ‘games’ and A.I….
Agreed – truth and beauty, two essential elements of “a good life”, are massively under attack.

latest leaflet to print at home or forward to politicians, media, friends online.
There have been many rumblings BTL that the DS has become a limited hangout & that what was a sceptical site on covid is now just yet another voice pushing the official narrative of division, fear & hatred. This post from Telegram makes thought provoking reading:
So let’s see who the people are who are now defending the endless war that both Orwell and Assange warned was always against us, as well as asking for MORE restrictions on our freedoms when we don’t agree with them:
“Allison Pearson wants the army on our streets” – by Niall McCrae
“The British establishment, including its media whores, rushed to license Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to take whatever action it wants against Gaza. Despite his recent exposure as a sex predator, Nick Cohen was rehabilitated by the Spectator to spout his bile. Douglas Murray, a gay advocate of Judaeo-Christian values, and asset of the security services, has jumped at the opportunity to attack Muslims. Laura Dodsworth and Allison Pearson reacted with mesmerised veneration of the Zionist regime.
Dodsworth made her name in the freedom movement, writing State of Fear on the government’s sinister surveillance and psychologically abusive practices during the Covid-19 pseudopandemic. The book drew deserved plaudits, although I found the last chapter revealing: Dodsworth praised the vaccines before they had been properly tested. Not such a critical thinker after all…
Dodsworth, in collaboration with Toby Young, produced the ‘October Declaration’, a petition of support for British Jews in their hour of need. Remember the Islamist terror attacks earlier this century, when the focus immediately shifted to a potential ‘far-right’ backlash? This is not quite the same, as Israeli people were killed and taken hostage by Hamas militia, but there was no doubt by the time this declaration was launched that the Israeli armed forces were doing most of the murders. Yet the main problem is anti-Semitism, and Palestinian victims were not directly mentioned in Dodsworth’s appeal: –
Oh, how badly the supposedly enlightened critics of Covid-19 lockdown have failed this moral test. Thankfully, they are not the majority. Dodsworth’s declaration has amassed about 65 thousand signatures, a quarter of the number signing a petition on the government website for a ceasefire and removal of Israeli occupiers from the West Bank and Gaza. And it pales into insignificance compared with the huge rallies in London and other cities across the UK.
Pearson is enraged by these mass protests. She demands government action to curtail this expression of Palestinian support. Home secretary Suella Braverman wants police to arrest those attending, merely for waving a flag. ‘Hate marches’, according to Braverman. Yet as I have witnessed, the tens of thousands who come to London to demonstrate are mostly ordinary people who are horrified about the massacre in Gaza, and justifiably angry that their taxes are being used to send armaments to Israel. Inevitably a few hotheads get the newspaper headlines, but the marches have shown humanity at its best: Muslims, Christians, atheists and Jews uniting against barbarism.
So, after three years of complaining about Covid-19 authoritarianism, Pearson wants the army on our streets. She wants people calling for an end to violence to be violated by soldiers. Pearson talks up Western values, but these have degraded into tacky, distasteful memes. Apparently Western values put the sensibilities of Jewish people in London above the very survival of inhabitants of Gaza, and allow a genocidal ethno-state to kill kids at will.
Pearson should read the lead opinion piece in the New York Times yesterday, by Megan Stack, who asked about the bombardment of civilians: –
‘What outcome does this strategy avert that would be worse than the outcome it has already created?’”
https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/allison-pearson-wants-the-army-on-our-streets/
Right with you, BB.
Seconded.
100%….
I thought the propaganda was pretty bad during Covid…and then through the Ukraine Russia conflict…but I’ve been horrified by people’s comments in regards to the barbaric actions on civilians, women and children..as though their thousands of deaths can be somehow explained by such idiotic things as..well they voted for them..or well they could move? It’s unbelievable to me…
I have no allegiance to either, but the horror that Israel has unleashed on Palestine is, without doubt wrong, and really harming their standing in the world…the Jeffrey Sachs interview I’ve posted is worth a listen, and speaks to this..
ClareDalyMEP
“There will be no hiding behind “we did not know,” when the time comes for European and American leaders to answer for their active role in the atrocities Israel is carrying out.
They know. It is a choice, not a blunder. The whole world can see. We will not forget.”
David Kurten has made a video in which he talks a lot of sense…they are setting the stage..Don’t take the bait….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fc9_SbUkv0
I’ve been stunned by those who I thought knew better yet seem to be defending Israeli action whatever the cost. I’m all for defending Jewish people against attacks, especially in our own country, but not to be aware of the wider geopolitical consequences of taking sides is madness. I think for some people it’s a case of virtue signalling in ignorance from the safety of their settee. There’s a refreshing discussion on the latest Tom Woods show about the US situation and how many commentators including RFKjr have got caught out expressing 20th century views on the topic. Also noting the importance of Christian Zionists in shaping US policy.
https://tomwoods.com/ep-2411-ron-paul-institute-director-on-best-and-worst-middle-east-scenarios/
RFK Jr has pledged allegiance to Israel, like so many other politicians in the US. Doesn’t matter how good he is on other issues, he’s been as bought & paid for as the other candidates. Trump is no better as he too pledged his allegiance to Israel.
The parasite class is well & truly in control though more visible than it has been in the past.
Most likely it’s the easiest line to take for the time being. Shows how hopeless our democratic politics has become – no debate about the reality of what support for Israel means.
A large number of US politicians have made this pledge of allegiance to Israel. They are not neutral & not working for the US citizens who elected them.
No different to the MPs here who are members of WEF – loyalty lies elsewhere & are working to usurp the national state. We no longer have a sovereign state courtesy of being signed up to join the EEC & then the Nice Treaty by the one individual who should have defended that sovereignty as per the Coronation Oath.
QEII was called Head of State as that is all she was, that is all the current incumbent is as when she signed us over to a supranational power, she committed treason & abdicated the throne.
No Monarch, no Regal Parliament, no valid in law Acts or Statutes since 1973 but as the 25 Barons wrote to QEII invoking Article 61 of Magna Carta when she gave assent to the Nice Treaty, we have the hard evidence that we have no Monarch.
TPTB in this country do not want us to know that what passes for government, legal acts, parliament is just a sham to cover up the abuse of power.
Nothing agreed, voted on or passed in parliament, by the executive or signed into law by the fake king has any standing in a court of law.
12 presumptions of law need to be repealed & a stand made with those 25 Barons. The more of us who do this, the greater our power & knowledge is power.
I agree Rachel..but we are being prodded all the time to take side..
News (and horrendous scenes) just happening… Israel had bombed
the main gate of al-Shifa medical compound where over 30,000 refugees are sheltering as well as bombing the immediate vicinity of the al-Quds hospital where over 14,000 people are sheltering…
Reports are saying that several ambulances were damaged as they attempted to transport the critically wounded to the Rafah crossing into Egypt..
It’s just for to stop….
I think I’m missing keys because I’m so wound up….this indefensible shit has just got to stop….

https://iea.org.uk/publications/dictating-words-the-culture-control-left-and-the-war-against-free-speech/#Summary
Download, print and read. The very concept of a “hate” crime, or any crime that relies on subjective emotion is beyond degraded, and signifies the end of a core pillar of our law – that we are all equal in the eyes of the law (the secular derivative, natch, of all equal in the eyes of God – we all know where our law comes from, don’t we?
.
Which is a disaster. As we are witnessing.
Another day, another Israeli politician spewing genocidal bile….
….this time it’s Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu:
“North Gaza, more beautiful than ever.
Blow up and flatten everything, delightful.
After we are done, we allocate the lands of Gaza to the soldiers fighting and the settlers who lived in Gush Katif.”
Of course the ‘settlers’ of Gush Karis forcibly removed the Palestinians who originally lived there and razed their houses to the ground before illegally occupying the land.
But remember these are the democratic civilised one and aren’t to be confused with the terrorists….and calling for everyone to be killed and removed from Gaza is definitely not genocide…

Any one else having trouble with Guido website?
Working OK for me though I don’t visit very often these days.
Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch on the conflict. Notes that this is not about land, but religion, and Islam is hell bent on genocide. Decide for yourself, but read and watch the video. I’d say he’s right.
