Just to add to the Albanian example above, further proof that your government prioritizes the so-called ”human rights” of jihadis and extremists to the human rights of its own citizens. We all know this has bog-all to do with human rights by now, I think…No wonder the Home Office are rubber stamping them, willy nilly, to stay indefinitely. They’re traitors and the general public are being screwed over; ”An illegal immigrant from Sudan who supports ISIS has been awarded permanent residency in the UK after his lawyers successfully argued that returning him to his home country would violate his human rights. Judges in the United Kingdom have disregarded Home Office fears about the threat posed by a Sudanese immigrant who entered the country illegally in 2005 and again in 2018 after having his British passport revoked. According to security services, the migrant had actively spread propaganda for the Islamic State (ISIS) and has now been granted UK citizenship and lifelong anonymity. Reports on Sunday (31st December) stated that attorneys representing the Sudanese national, who has only been allowed to be referred to as “S3,” were successful in convincing judges that deporting him would violate his human rights as doing so would subject him… Read more »
And this is what we get as a result, though god knows what the actual true figure is, as these types of crimes are notoriously under reported. I wonder how many of these convicted sex offenders will not get deported because their ”human rights” trump that of the victim or the safety of the general public; ”Since opening the gates to unfettered mass migration in 2015, at least 7,000 women have been raped or sexually assaulted in Germany by alleged asylum-seeking illegal migrants, an analysis of government figures has found. A report from the Swiss-German paper of record, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, claimed that statistics from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) show that more than one thousand women — mostly Germans — have been sexually assaulted by migrants seeking refuge every year since 2017. Extrapolating from this figure, the paper calculated that therefore at least 7,000 women have been raped or sexually assaulted by asylum seekers since former German Chancellor Angela Merkel ushered in the European Migrant Crisis in 2015 by unilaterally opening the gates of Europe to massive waves of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. Last year, NZZ reported, asylum-seeking migrants were vastly overrepresented in reported cases of rape and sexual assault. Out of… Read more »

The China View and the new world order
Meanwhile China is commenting that 2024 will likely see a continuing decline in the position of the western world as it fails to address reality.
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202401/1304603.shtml
Whilst one has to take comments from the Global Times with a big pinch of salt, nonetheless I rather feel there is a grain of truth in their comments. There seem to be a lot of elections coming up in the western world in 2024 but I am not sure if any of the results from these will be enough to stem the tide of world events? I am not sure I like the look of the new world order any more than the old one? but it does seem like we are entering an era of changing times.
The times they were a’changin’ in 1962, courtesy of Bob Dylan. We actually got the world his fellow ideologues wanted, as they have finally succeeding in persuading the mothers and fathers not to criticise what they don’t understand.
Me, I suspect they knew more than their out of control sons and daughters.
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/a-beginners-guide-to-covid-part-8-how-it-started/
Part 8 of Paul Weston’s brilliant series detailing the Scamdemic. This short piece is ‘how it started.’
Bottom line Bill Gates bought and paid for the Scamdemic.
https://thenewconservative.co.uk/a-letter-to-the-covid-inquiry/
I did a critique of this letter yesterday. It is an appalling piece of work that does our cause no good whatsoever. A silly sod going in to great detail about how he fell for the Scamdemic and even changed all the door handles to copper in order to stop ‘virus transmission.’
Bloody nutter.
He kept his Company open throughout the pandemic, thereby safeguarding his overseas customer base and the jobs of his workforce.
He points out that he was simply implementing sensible age old practices, no doubt in the (almost certainly vain) hope that the inquiry might recommend some sensible preventative measures to reduce incidence of the common cold in future; a very good idea.
‘Our forefathers used copper, brass and silver specifically because they were known to stop the spread of pathogens’
And came up with preventative ideas of his own, often recommended on this site:
‘I had read a considerable amount of research, prior to the pandemic, into how winter supplementation with Vitamin D3 with K is very effective in helping one’s immune system fight off respiratory viruses. As the pandemic progressed, there were a number of reports coming from Sweden and Spain confirming that Vitamin D3 was similarly effective in helping the body fight Covid-19.’

Julie Burchill very restrained by her standards. I was hoping she would really stick the knife in.
“A letter to the Covid Inquiry”
As a guide to how Britain should have behaved in 2020 (and Sweden did), this can hardly be bettered.
‘….we stayed open throughout the pandemic and though our UK business dropped off steeply over the first few days of the first lockdown, we had by the end of our financial year made up almost all of the lost ground.’
As a standing reproach to the pantomime dames of the now out of season but still rib achingly silly pantomime inquiry, it could hardly be bettered either.
‘The inquiry you chair goes into lots of aspects of the Covid pandemic, but I can’t see that any of the modules actually look at practical ways of mitigating the effects of future respiratory virus pandemics. It also is surprising that there is little on how business handled the situation thrown at it. For the engine room of the economy to be virtually disregarded by your deliberations, seems rather amiss.’
Alastair MacMillan deserves a knighthood for having the strength of character to put the safeguarding of the jobs of his employees first.
Clearly we disagree. He could have kept his business open without all the nonsense tactics.He fell for the “pandemic” story. That is all we need to know.
Yes, we disagree. Nothing wrong with that. You are, of course, absolutely entitled to your view.
I think Mr MacMillan may be concealing a somewhat more lockdown sceptical stance than you allow:
‘Firstly: the vaccine did not offer long term protection, contrary to what we had previously been told.
Secondly: those taking boosters often seemed to go down with Covid within a month, or so, of getting the shot.
Thirdly: tests were often giving a negative result when ill, but a positive result when better.
Fourthly: mask wearing was ineffective and in fact seemed to exacerbate the illness if it developed.’
‘Based on our experience with Covid, I would certainly not be as trusting of government and their advisers next time round. Much of what came out of government has proved to be either wrong or plain stupid. An example being the banning of people from meeting outside, which flew in the face of all experience with viruses that they do not survive in almost any sort of sunlight.
I believe we demonstrated that by applying known practical, anti-viral measures, the disease could be controlled and spread prevented without affecting economic and general well-being.’
A Letter to the Covid Inquiry, Alistair MacMillan
Its an interesting and informative letter, but I doubt Hallett will take any notice! As much as anything, what it does emphasise is what an extraordinarily considerate employer he is. Some of his actions could be considered massive overkill from a certain point of view 😁, but to do what he did given the intensity of the psy-op propaganda at the time, and to eventually realise it was all Kabuki, shows remarkable fortitude.
For comparison – throughout the plandemic I worked in a small, grubby office in close proximity – and hot-desking – with multiple others, plus a constant stream of externals (including the occasional dog and sheep), the ‘hygiene’ regime being the occasional wipe round with an antibac wet wipe when one of us remembered. Windows didn’t open but it was as draughty as hell and effing cold in the winter. We survived.
Completely agree.
A great effort on your part and that of your colleagues! Salutations to you all, including dogs and sheep, with thanks for an insightful anecdote.
The countryside did, by and large, adopt a somewhat sceptical stance, I believe, from my own limited experience in my locality: ‘The virus isn’t troubling us much around here’ invariably being the understated reaction to a clear panic in conurbations.
In all fairness, I think that it has become abundantly clear that the inhabitants of large cities with poor air quality were a great deal more susceptible. But the absurdity is that that is very much the case every winter, with any common cold virus/coronavirus/influenza.
Talking about comedy, I watched Armageddon the other day. A lot of it very amusing, but what I have never found funny is his seeming obsession with paedophilia. I can laugh at anything to do with adults as they’ve made their own choices in life and sometimes even sick stuff can be funny. But children being sexually abused? Is that ever funny? Just curious if it’s just me being a snowflake? He’s also bought into the climate apocalypse it seems. Anyone with any useful info on the guy?
Ok, I’m guessing from the downvotes that I’m being a snowflake. Fair enough – difficult to gauge sometimes these days.
