Off topic but I’m in a country near the US at the moment and they use US TV news on in the gym which was hard to avoid. Some Biden cabinet member is visiting China. The top men were free faced but all the oppos from both sides were wearing face panties. Idiocy and obedience to idiocy looks like one of China’s most successful exports.

I was looking yesterday at the website of a small theatre in New York, the Irish Arts Center, and saw that masks are currently required for matinee performances but not for evening performances. What’s all that about? It makes no sense. Is it to cater to the neurotics who are still too scared to go to the theatre unless everyone is wearing a mask? If so, I’m surprised they’re not too scared to go out at all.

New York, permanently off my “possible places to visit” list.

I’m reminded of the altitude related covid rules in the UK when sitting down in a pub without a mask was OK but standing up was dangerous.

“A teacher at Church of England school was recorded telling a 13 year-old girl that she should go to another school if she refuses to recognise the identity of another student identifying as a cat.”

13-year-olds clearly smarter than their teacher. Let’s hope their generation rebels against the madness.

Did you notice the outright cult indoctrination of the teacher as s/he/it spoke? No attempt at reasoned discussion, no attempt to hear the (sensible) student’s side, just aggressive attempts to grind the student down with nonsensical and illogical cult-speak. Truly extraordinary. Three cheers for the student and her chum but ye gods, we live in dangerous times.

Yes, nonsensical and illogical like this:

“There are lots of genders. There is transgender. There is agender, people that don’t believe they have a gender at all.”

So by saying that ‘agender’ is a gender, she’s not affirming the belief of those who believe they don’t have a gender!

And then she confuses the trans issue with homophobia, which the girls point out.

And then she resorts to, “If you don’t like it, you need to go to a different school. I’m reporting you to Miss Willis.”

Tragically the girl in the article above who had her breasts removed at 13yrs is not an isolated case. I’ve read of others in the U.S. Also the same applies to young males, as this guy explains. Where are the medical ethics? Doctors are sick and warped for ruining young people’s lives, all because they are psychologically troubled and need mental health input NOT butchered. And once more regarding the kids, where the hell are the parents?? 🙁 ”The day of my bottom surgery. My life changed in 2019 when my doctors told me that the best way to go is to get my genitals operated. They created a “neovagina” and removed my testicles. The whole experience was horrible and exhausting. I was not able to finish school and my mental state went from bad to worse. I don’t recommend undergoing this surgery to anyone. It’s mutilation. Men will never be women. Women will never be men. I lost almost all of my libido. Being able to orgasm is almost impossible now. Having sex with men is possible but it’s painful and I was bleeding every time after that. Sensation almost went away. Is this what you want kids to… Read more »

As much as I hate the BMI scale as a tool for measuring if somebody is overweight or not, the ridiculously woke AMA are advising ditching it for other ludicrous reasons; ”The American Medical Association (AMA) has warned against using the Body Mass Index (BMI) as the sole metric to determine whether an individual is overweight or not—citing “historical harm” from the measurement. In a June 14 press release, the AMA said that BMI as a measurement tool was “racist” as it has largely relied on data collected from generations of non-Hispanic white populations. The organization said that the relative body shape and composition of human beings differ across racial and ethnic groups, genders, sexes, and ages. These factors are “essential” when applying BMI. The AMA warned that BMI must not be used as a “sole criterion” to deny any appropriate insurance reimbursement. The AMA’s BMI announcement comes as there has been a growing attempt to disregard the issue of body weight. Terms like “weight bias” have sprouted up as a form of discrimination, with doctors feeling pressured to avoid mentioning weight. There are also “don’t weigh me” cards that patients can hand over to doctors during an office visit stating, “If you really… Read more »

If they do scrap it, they’ll need something more complex to be useful. Not related to various groups either. I’m a white guy, and the fact is that BMI figures are useless for me given my height. I can easily end up being fat but with decent numbers under that metric.

Height to waist ratio has always been a better general measure than BMI, best done in the morning (your waist expands as your height shrinks during the day). Waist measurement divided by height, aim is to keep it at or below the average of 0.5.

Pupil who questioned classmate ‘identifying as a cat’ called ‘despicable’ by teacher

“The Church of England today ordained its first trans-species Archdeacon. The Rev Tiddles Jones, who has recently transitioned from being a transgender male, could not attend the the ordination in person as she is recovering from being spayed. She was represented by Rev Brian Fawcett, who identifies as Rev Tiddles Jones.”

Teacher @ryecollegeuk has meltdown at Year 9 student who questions why another student is identifying as a cat” – These are the sort of teachers who should be sacked immediately. They are dangerous, ignorant and fanatical and are spreading false narratives around schools. Full respect to the girls standing their ground and calling this out. Many wouldn’t be able to face down a teacher like this with their fixed ideas about sex and gender but these girls do a great job. Gods knows what goes on in primary schools. A whole generation of kids are being indoctrinated with these ideas and encouraged to accept that insane ideas and concepts are perfectly reasonable. It is the gateway into a darker world.

I’m going to stick my neck out here and presume that it’s the very same teachers that are indoctrinating kids with flat out lies around denying basic biological facts who were responsible for supporting the masking of these very same kids during Covid Mania. And I’m afraid the old chestnut ”we’re just following orders” doesn’t cut it in both of these scenarios. We place responsibility for our children’s safety and wellbeing into the hands of the teachers during school hours but all they’ve done is prove how incapable they are and our kids are being put at risk as a result. And any teachers that teach the sexually explicit material that I’ve shared previously here need called out and investigated because I would sure as hell want to know what’s lurking on their hard drives! if I was a teacher I’d completely refuse to teach such things and probably get sacked for blowing the whistle on the whole thing as a result.

Damn right, Mogs. It’ll be the same ones for sure. They don’t seem to possess the ability for discernment or, indeed, judgement. You’ll find them in NHS hospitals, banks and all through the public sector. Screeching on and on about ‘safe and effective’ and diversity, inclusivity and equality. Throughly ignorant people in positions of relative power.

The indoctrination of children is dangerous enough but the murder of the elderly is still ongoing by those medics & nurses who are just following orders of the death protocols in NHS hospitals & UK care homes.

A “discussion” of a teacher with school-children is an asymetrical one, especially when the teacher gets to brand anyone who disagrees as a bigot who should change schools.

What would happen if the teacher was invited to debate with a doctor, or a medic, or some other educated parent, in the local village hall? What’s the betting she would bottle out?

My first point in the debate would would be, “So am I right in thinking that your lessons arise from an ideology in which delusions don’t exist? If a child can identify as a cat, can she identify as Pol Pot, and if not, why not?”

“San Francisco’s downtown nightmare: Ghost towns, homelessness, and drug epidemic”

I saw this film in 1996! It starred kurt Russell , but it was called “escape from Los Angeles” They must have predicted the wrong city they meant San Francisco! Although the same solution would suffice, build a bloody big wall round it!

The teacher at Rye college is clearly unsuitable to teach, she is an indoctrinator, further more she is incapable of having a debate based on fact, she threatens and is rude to the students, who good for them, do not retaliate in the same way, but calmly stick to the facts.
What is this woman and any like her doing in the education system? she is dangerous. Why am I paying taxes to a Government that condones and promotes these cult beliefs?
Where are the Parents of the pupils in this school? why aren’t they taking the school to task?

“San Francisco’s downtown nightmare: Ghost towns, homelessness, and drug epidemic” A perfect example of how a society is destroyed. This is happening all across the US. Many of its largest cities have huge areas that are similar to this. Many rural towns are also ghost towns. There’s a guy called Lord Spoda on Youtube who travels about the US with his wife in their SUV filming this decline. It really is shocking. We think of the US as a place of prosperity and opportunities – well, maybe we used to – but in actual fact it is becoming a failed state. Lockdowns, of course, had a lot to with it as well as the 2008 banking crisis. The homelessness issue in the US is immense and seemingly unsolvable because much of it stems from the drug crisis and that stems from deliberate actions to destroy the fabric of society. Who is doing this? Again, it is probably the same people behind the ‘virus’, the WHO, climate change, transgender, CBDCs, Digital IDs and it’s the same basic agenda: depopulation, discord, chaos, division, dilution and all the rest. Destroying the national fabric, creating an idea of global citizens (Blair!), and preparing for… Read more »

Here’s an excerpt:

Progressive ideology is always presented in the virtuous themes of tolerance and inclusivity, although in reality it is harshly intolerant and exclusive. Ordinary people are forced into positive acceptance and even to participate in promoting a movement that they privately perceive as perverse and dangerous.”

To be British is to be an outlaw.

A fine article.

Even when I was at school (and that was a long time ago) I questioned the contents of our “sex education” class. To me, being told how to put on a condom is not “education”, it’s “instruction”, and they are not the same thing.

A much needed demolition job on the imposter and WEF implant that was carnage Carney when he was in charge of the B of E. I never understood why this guy was brought in in the first place but given what has happened from the Scamdemic onwards it is all now crystal clear.

I am sorry to say it’s individuals like Carney that are primarily and directly responsible for today’s inflation. Brexit doesn’t even come near. Tragically he shows no contrition, instead doubling down on his own failure.”

As this final para makes clear the article is rather limp-wristed and why the author feels the need to apologise is beyond me.

“I am sorry…” Not required, spell it out and be blunt about it.

Grim indeed.

‘The Bureau Draft of the WHO CA+ ‘Pandemic Treaty’ begins with the premise that a new, legally binding, instrument is required ‘in recognition of the catastrophic failure of the international community in showing solidarity and equity in response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic’.’

I take that ‘catastrophic failure’ to mean that they did not succeed in getting the pharmaceutical slurry into every arm on the planet.

I’m quite proud my arms are slurry free and that I contributed towards the failure of that malignant objective.

While I’m glad that Sunak has stated that parents should be informed if their children want to ‘change their gender…(How is it even a question?..who the frick do teachers think they are?)
I’m reminded that this very same Government said children who were considered ‘competent’ could have the poisonous Convid quacksine without parental consent, when they started offering it to 12-15 year olds!

So are they just, as usual, going with what they believe is in their best interests of getting elected? And might they just as easily go the other way when it suits??
