Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid quaceene ‘mandates’? Daughter at University told she ‘must have’ 5 arm stabs to go on placement in a hospital.

She is only 18 and is feeling very pressured/ coerced into taking them. 🤬 thank you

Looks like something Alistair Williams should have a joke for.

If it can be used to catch shoplifters, it can be used to catch attenders of verboten assemblies.

Official statistics suggest that 384,000 members of the Armed Forces were killed during the Second World War. This was a period of emergency used to change, completely, the economic and social structure of the country, as more and more of it fell under state control.

Today, the Office for National Statistics still prints the 'death toll' from 13 March 2020 to the present day, making the distinction between deaths that are considered meaningless and deaths that can be attributed to 'COVID-19'. The latest bulletin puts the figure of those sacrificed to the 'enemy' at 207,814 (England & Wales only).

Try finding a Government policy document that does not cite this 'emergency' as the catalyst for an accelerated version of the proposed action.

If only people dedicated as much time to making their own lives bulletproof as they do to assessing the conduct of this fellow.

Today's dose of pure speculation:

'We know not long after it formed, the Moon had a powerful magnetic field, which started to decline about 3.2 billion years ago. Such a magnetic field is generated by motion and convection in the core, so what the lunar core is made of is deeply relevant to how and why the magnetic field disappeared.'

'Lies, damned lies and statistics'.

Never mind who said it first, it fits this, which is from the coronavirus section of the Government website.

On 20th October, there is to be an adjournment debate on 'Trends in excess deaths'.

You may have been in touch with your MP already, in order to request that they fulfil their role in representing you by attending this debate. If not, here is the link:

For added weight to the above correspondence:

The 'Excess Mortality in England by Age Group' for the 0-24 category (click on the first document shown to access this). Note the absence of a spike on the left of the graph, in early 2020, but the consistent excess death from mid-2021.

An EEPRU study from 2018, which estimated that of the 237 million medication errors which occur in the UK each year, 66 million are ‘clinically significant’.

A reminder of the way in which the war machine works. As Julian Assange said, the goal 'is to have an endless war, not a successful one'.

It's not clear where this leaves Wee Zee and his green jogging suit.

Light Bulb Moment

Not new news, of course, but supply of incandescent light bulbs is drying up (as well as halogen and fluorescent) and manufacture of anything but LED lights is prohibited.

In 2018, even the European Commission had to concede that LED bulbs had only become 'safer', rather than safe. Nonetheless, as with all things harmful, the juggernaut has rolled on.

What is the workaround?

How do you light the spaces you use?

In case you are unaware of the very likely harmful effects of LED lighting, here is a piece from the Guardian.

European Commission sales pitch.

And, if you want the 'brighter and greener' nonsense from Whitehall, here it is:

Suella Braverman has been sent in to bat for Israel, wearing a tungsten carbide helmet, kevlar pads and a steel box.

Letter to Chief Constables in England and Wales following the Israel-Hamas conflict
Published 10 October 2023

'I would encourage police to consider whether chants such as “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world, and whether its use in certain contexts may amount to a racially aggravated section 5 public order offence.

I would encourage police to give similar consideration to the presence of symbols such as swastikas at anti-Israel demonstrations. Context is crucial. Behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism. Nor is it acceptable to drive through Jewish neighbourhoods, or single out Jewish members of the public, to aggressively chant or wave pro-Palestinian symbols at. Where harassment is identified, I would encourage the police to take swift and appropriate enforcement action.'

Incidentally, with regard to Braverman's reference to 'proscribed organisations', the Wagner Group was added to this list last month, via an Amendment Order to the Terrorism Act 2000.
