Are these virtual ambulances to take the virtual patient to his virtual ward after being visited by the virtual doctor?
Hang on a minute, if I look in my virtual lock up I am sure I have some virtual wards spare that I picked up from a nightingale hospital that was set up in 2020....brand new, never been used.
Got some virtual bridges to sell too for the virtual ambulances to be able to cross the virtual rivers...

What about instead of sending £220million of humanitarian aid and £2.3 BILLION in military aid the the Ukraine the government spend that money to improve services in UK.
Charity begins at home.
Come to think of it, it’s not actually charity; it’s hard earned UK tax

I would encourage you to read this guidance, if only to see that we have elected a government that will legislate against 'balloon sticks' at the same time as funding and enabling the mass slaughter of Russians and Ukrainians.

'Cutlery and balloon sticks

From 1 October you must not supply single-use plastic cutlery or balloon sticks.

There are no exemptions to this ban.'

👇🏼

Guidance:
Single-use plastics ban: plates, bowls, trays, containers, cutlery and balloon sticks

The ban on these items will include:

- online and over-the-counter sales and supply
- items from new and existing stock
- all types of single-use plastic, including biodegradable, compostable and recycled
- items wholly or partly made from plastic, including coating or lining

‘Single use’ means the item is meant to be used only once for its original purpose.

Covid tests?

From Bill, in the comments!

A single-use sign, perhaps?

I was in the Wells Bishop's Palace men's toilets recently. A note stated that occupants can ask for sanitary.products at the desk. That's the state of the CofE.

Hurrah for the single use plastics ban. HMG's brilliant lawmakers have just cancelled Masks, PCR Tests and PPE.
Hilarious.

I wonder if, like me, you were brought up to live according to this principle. It makes for a straightforward life, that's for sure.

A maxim of my grandmother's that I always enjoyed was Mind over Matter.

She would apply this to people's thoughts on seating plans at lunches and dinners, with regard to whom they were sitting next to.

Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.

Infallible logic, it seems to me.

If you’ve been following recent news about Russell Brand being “cancelled” by Youtube, you may find this interesting.

Apparently, someone in the UK Parliament wrote to the Rumble video platform, asking them to de-platform Russell, and Rumble refused the request. This is Rumble’s letter about it, published today.

This has the MP's letter too.

Charles Eisenstein on transhumanism and its adulation by 'progressives', from last summer.

It's a long read, but I reckon he's on the right track, especially when it comes to reclaiming our place in the natural world.

'Anguish tears at me when I see today’s children immersed in the physically safe digital world, having virtual adventures while never leaving their bedrooms, unable to throw a ball or skip rope, never experiencing unsupervised imaginative group play.'

Nearly a fortnight ago, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) decided that the arrogance of a government department was unreasonable, and ordered the Department for Science, Information and Technology (DSIT) to answer a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, pertaining to the activities of the Counter-Disinformation Unit (CDU).

The ICO wrote: 'Given that DSIT has failed to outline how any substantial, or even more
than remotely possible, prejudice to the effective conduct of public
affairs could result from the disclosure of this specific requested
information, the Commissioner is limited in the weight he can accord to
the public interest arguments in favour of maintaining the exemption. '

DSIT has been given 35 days to spill the beans, or appeal the decision. Which way will this go, you may wonder? Given that the original FOI request was submitted on 2nd March of this year, you may take an educated guess.

To read the decision-making process for yourself, see below.

On the subject of so-called 'disinformation', the hot seat is about to be vacated, leaving space for a new incumbent with a very broad portfolio.

The Director General, Defence and Intelligence will be 'responding to and countering disinformation, propaganda and information manipulation threats by of hostile actors globally', as well as 'leading the FCDO’s wider response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.'

You have until 8 Oct to get your papers in.

'The Roland Rat of politics'. Rishi Sunak, as described by Katie Hopkins in her explanation of the recent timeline amendments for the Net Zero control mechanism.

She raises an important point about consent.

An important trend.

This is from TV Licensing and it shows the most recent data on household television licences. A steady decline, and BBC admits it has lost approx 2m viewers/£42m revenue.

There will be many reasons for the reduction in numbers, but the narrative version is an increase in 'evasion' of the licence fee.

Has your telly gone in the bin yet?

It is the autumn equinox today, but you'll need to wait until Monday for the equilux (or thereabouts, if you're in the UK).

Three months to push until the days start getting longer!

As the various autumn campaigns to poison and degrade the populace get underway, it is apposite to look back at some of the choice parliamentary language used on the subect.

In 1902, Lord Newton spoke in the House of Lords, in a debate to remove the 'conscientious objection' clause from the Vaccination Act 1898.

Do read the debate in full, for it is eye-opening, and it makes today's lawmakers look like a bunch of pansies.

'It proposes merely to repeal the conscientious objection clause of the Act of 1898. I do not think there is any necessity to enlarge upon the advantage of vaccination.

To my mind, one of the most convincing testimonies in its favour is that in times of epidemic like the present the anti-vaccinator is silent, and, if current reports are to be believed, instead of propagating his pernicious doctrine, occasionally utilizes the opportunity in order to get vaccinated himself.

I do not believe that there is any sympathy in any part of the House with the person, known as the conscientious objector. If sympathy has occasionally been expressed for him on public platforms, I believe it to be sympathy of a purely platonic kind, for many of those who have advocated his cause have insisted on their own households being vaccinated and have been vaccinated themselves.

I believe the noble and learned Lord on the Woolsack has gone even further, and caused all the officials in the Law Courts under his control to be vaccinated, and I am not aware that his Lordship has made any exception in favour of the conscientious objector or anybody else.

I am convinced that those persons who were responsible for the creation of the conscientious objector are thoroughly ashamed of him. Nobody likes him, and many hate him. Why not, therefore, take this opportunity of getting rid of him?

If the Government are not willing to take this opportunity of getting rid of him, it can only be for the reason that they are afraid of him. We know that conscience makes cowards of us all, and the conscientious objector seems to have stricken with terror the strongest Government of modern times. I will recall the circumstances under which the conscientious objector came into existence.

In 1898 the Government of the day, which was practically indistinguishable from the present Government, brought in a most admirable Bill, which was introduced in the other House and met with an excellent reception. It is important to notice that at this early period no mention was made of the conscientious objector.'

And, from a century prior, James Gillray's cartoon of 1802, showing the effects of vaccination on the people to the right of the scene.

More rhyming history, as Twain would have said.
