So the Civil Servants are refusing to work, meanwhile tens of thousands of NHS workers are marching and fighting for their right to be allowed to work?! what a world

Skiving blighters. The whole rotten system needs reforming. Sir Nigel Farage said the other day that he would like to be minister for reforming the civil service if he was in government (and if there was such a post).

Yes Prime Minister? That’s not the half of it!

No, you have to be a jolly good boy to be a knight, like Sir Witless, or Sir Anthony, rather than trying to reform things and discomfit those in the cosy cabal of big politics, big business, the civil service, the BBC and the rest of the crooks (I’ve been wanting to say that for a long time!).
I expect Sir Carl Hannigan and Sir Toby Young and Sir Norman Fenton and Sir Mike Yeadon and any heroes of the resistance won’t be knighted either.
Ah yes, Sir Keir Starmer, the man who tried to stop “Brexit” – that’s the sort of man to have as a knight of the realm!

Or of Sir Lewis Hamilton. A fricken knighthood? (Not trying to lump him in as scum, though I certainly don’t like his attitude). I know we have knighted a few other racing drivers, they were a different kettle of person.

Actually, I was never anti-monarchy or anything, but I do now think that our monarchy, and the whole knight type of thing is patently anachronistic. Well past its Best Before date.

My commie brother always slagged off the monarchy, and I used to think, well, they’re not that terrible, and their lives are not their own etc, but now I don’t think I could find myself having much sympathy at all.

Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I suppose I had better make it clear: a different kettle of fish/person – in that Hamilton might be a decent driver, but he is not in the same league as the others in terms of maturity and attitude.

How COVID Jabs Wreck Your Immune Function
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/01/23/covid-shots-suppress-immune-system.aspx
We now have more details than ever about the mRNA jabs, and it makes one thing very clear: The shots suppress your innate immune system. By inhibiting type-1 interferon, they can raise your risk of malignancy and tumors, and allow dormant viruses like herpes and shingles to emerge. How COVID Shots Suppress Your Immune System

The vaccines suppress the immune system for about two weeks, but – surprise, surprise – you are not considered vaccinated until two weeks after getting the jab. This means that infections caught in this vulnerable period, although probably caused by the vaccine, are not counted as effects of vaccination. Yet another type of vaccine adverse event not recorded.

Names of people in media who fought on the side of the Nazis for two years and are now pretending they were always in the Resistance:’

Andrew Neil

David Starkey
Jeremy Vine
Carole Malone

We’ll curate the names here as the list grows. Let’s not forget Richard Madeley tearing up the Yellow Card injury data on live TV either. These people are guilty of endorsing and supporting a regime that killed hundreds of thousands of people via lockdowns, denial of healthcare and gene therapy mandates. They do not get to walk it back.

Any estimates about of how many people (in the UK alone) have died so far as a result of the human rights abuses, and how many more may die?

I’m assuming it will total well over 100,000 now (which would more than be enough to render the lockdowns a disastrous mistake (at best) by any reasonable measure).

Of course, UK measures have been directly responsible for deaths in other countries too (eg Kenya).

While I am very angry with those who obviously fought on the side of the covid Nazis I must confess that they don’t make me nearly as angry as the ones who pre-covid would usually have been very vocal when it came to abuse of human rights, government oppression of freedoms, censorship etc etc etc but who have remained absolutely silent throughout the entire 18 months – not a single peep from those I would really have expected to voice their concerns about the abuse of government powers and the suppression of free speech etc – its the ones who remained silent who could have made a difference if they had said something – they are the ones I am more angry with than anyone else – in fact their silence felt like a complete betrayal to be honest. A lot of eminent individuals I once held in high regard I have now become totally disenchanted with – I could never read another book or listen to another album or watch another play or movie of theirs ever again knowing that by remaining silent they were complicit in this covid nazi-esque authoritarianism.

Yes, human rights organisations that don’t support human rights are much more worrying than the whining/opining of weird people in the media.
But the people making me really angry at the moment are those at large companies (and it is large companies) who have decreed that they won’t cover sick pay for unvaxxed employees who have been told they need to isolate by the government. A list of them, so we can avoid them, would be useful.

“Rwandans ‘vaccinated’ by force”.

I wonder if the perpetrators will end up in The Hague, or if the Guardian will give prominent coverage to this serious human rights abuse – or whether they will continue to justify measures that have led to hunger in African countries and give a platform to Devi “100% safe” Sridhar (says it all if they’re printing her).? Bally Billy sellouts.

I just checked – 1,432 “covid deaths” (Worldometer) in a country of 13.4 million people. I’d like to know who’s paying their government to do this, what targets they’ve been set. Did someone say these “vaccines” may reduce fertility? A big goal of Bally Billy and his eugenicist mates, to reduce the birth rate in Africa. Genocide or mere eugenics, we really do need that Nuremberg II.

Here is a direct link to the Deutsche Welle article about forcible “vaccination” in Rwanda: “Rwanda forcibly vaccinating people against COVID, victims say” This is a straightforward crime against humanity, carried out in the country that saw genocide committed against the Tutsis in the 1990s. Unfortunately DW do not identify the pharmaceutical company that is supplying the “vaccine” that is being used. A man from the Muhanga district, in Rwanda’s Southern Province, told DW that he was handcuffed in order to receive the jab.“Around 4 a.m. our local cell leader kicked in my door,” he said “I thought they were thieves because I was still asleep. There were three people standing at my door, they ordered me to go to the sector offices, and I was handed over to security personnel and I was told that I was going to be vaccinated against my will.” Cells and sectors are administrative entities between villages and districts.The man recalled that he was forced to sit under the scorching sun until the evening when he got vaccinated. According to him, five police officers and six civilians surrounded him and ordered him into a room.“They pounced on me and dragged me on the ground,… Read more »

“Totalitarian impulse subverting free societies”.

I said years ago we risked a rerun of the 1930’s. A totally predictable result of our economic and moral collapse and decades of human rights abuses A pity the villains responsible couldn’t commit to making sure the abuses of the 30’s and 40’s could never happen again instead of mocking Mary Whitehouse and trashing the working class who will suffermost from the new terror.

“Woke cut to Dad’s army”.

Looks like that line about “catch a nigger by the toe” has been cut then…

In other “equalities” news, there was a story today on GB news about an Automobile Association spokesman (or should that be spokesperoffspring?) saying that the AA treated lone women who have broken down as the same priority as lone men (though they later backpedalled).

You know, sometimes there is something to be said for treating women differently from men. Whether it’s this, or a coastguard chastised for breaking health and safety rules for rescuing a girl stuck up a cliff, or putting men in women’s prisons, it would be nice if people could use a bit of common sense sometimes. This is what happens though when people are banned from thinking for themselves.

As new data from Germany begins to show a clear link between excess mortality and gene therapies, we make sure the list of people in the media who supported the wholesale murder of men women and children is carefully curated.

  1. I hadn’t realised about David Starkey. Someone I really rayed as a historian A pity if he went over to the dark side. Just shows how people can let you down. Philip Johnston was a bit of a shocker as well. I was most disappointed in Jacob Rees-Mogg who I had considered a beacon of common sense and decency. It was largely because of him that I thought it might be worth giving Peking Piffle the benefit of the doubt.As for John Gaunt, I saw him on GB News (Neil Oliver?) saying that everyone should be “vacinated” and I thought – this guy’s nuts.

Yes.it’s best not to forget as it will happen again unless we remember those who stood against us and promoted the official anrrative.
The only criticism I had of the In House Doctor’s article yesterday was when he used the term “compliant” main stream media.
They have been either grossly incompetent or complicit in the government’s actions against the public of this country.
My take is the latter as no one could surely be that incompetent for so long: a 12 year old with a computer, broadband access and a couple of hours a week could have obtained more information on this madness than seemingly experienced and trained journos.

We also do not forget HM Queen Elizabeth and her grandson HRH Prince William, both of whom told the British people they had no right to bodily autonomy and they were selfish for not taking endless doses of gene therapy.

I remember the Queen did get involved in politics at one point and feeling surprised about it though I forget what it was exactly now. Did she really say that?

I do wonder how responsible she actually was for the “Sir Anthony” business. Someone said that it wouldn’t have happened if Prince Philip was still alive so perhaps she did have something to do with that? I was a bit shocked by that.

There’s a theory that when she ostentatiously sat alone at Prince Philip’s funeral (while Peking Piffle’s people partied), that was her way of protesting at what was being done to her. I like to think she has her doubts about some of this nonsense. At any rate, many people will not forget that powerful juxtaposition, and maybe it could work to some degree in our favour.

Not the first Sir Anthony that the Queen has found brought her a smattering of public oppribrium. That was Blunt, the Fourth Man in the Cambridge spy ring, who was Master of the Queen’s Paintings while happily aiding and abetting treachery.

Notice how many MSM newspapers have miraculously had a ‘sudden change of heart’ on the COVID vaccines, mandates and passports amongst the many draconian and anti-democratic/freedom measures to ‘combat’ COVID? Be very vary, given how they were acting just a few weeks or months ago. Even supposed ‘anti-lockdown scpetics’ such as Camilla Tominey at the Telegraph are, in my opinion, just either ‘managed opposition’ to try and keep readers from deserting in droves, or are just changing their views when they see they ‘backed the wrong horse’ in government. With regard to Tominey, I distinctly remember many pro-Establishment viewpoint (and woke) articles from her nearer to the start of the pandemic, but weirdly they, as far as I can tell, don’t appear on her DT page any more (you can go back all thw way to March 2020 and before). I suspect many MSM outlets and ‘journalists’ are now frantically scrubbing their histories in readiness to jump off the sinking ship like a bunch of rats. Anyone who are still subscribers to the DT (the same goes for other papers with similar-minded journos) should remind other current readers (I stopped subbing in mid 2020 in protest at what the paper… Read more »

As far as our change of heart journos in Perth, I suspect a lot of them are as sick and tired of being stuck here as anyone.
The secession movement is sporadic over here but my sense is that it’s been pretty quiet during the last couple of years. There are people who are loving the isolation, but they seem to exist principally in the comments pages of MSM publications. If this has been a sample of what life is like with WA as an independent nation, I don’t think many of us are being won over to the cause.
