Shortage of truck drivers in the UK
In this interview a BBC panel discuss the fact Brexit has caused issues with the availability of truck drivers in the UK but they also highlight that the same issues are also evident in France, Germany, Spain and elsewhere.
They mention long term issues in the truck driving industry including an aging workforce, the fact that the DVLA delayed the processing of HGV licences during the “pandemic” (down to just over 1k licences a week when 15k a week are now being processed, in part to clear the backlog).
Perhaps though the most telling part is that the ONS numbers show that a huge numbers of truck drivers had time out of the industry due to being off or self isolating during Covid but most critically that 50,000 truck drivers have completely left the profession since Covid began and most of these drivers were above the age of 45 years. (24mins in).
Where have these truck drivers gone?
We are told there are about 300k truck drivers in the UK so almost 20% just decided not to come back?

Latest UK Adverse Reactions and Fatalities to 8th September per the MHRA following the experimental Covid-19 injections as released today (17-09-21)
A total of 1645 deaths now reported by the MHRA along with almost 1.2 million injuries suffered by over 361k people (an average of 3.3 injuries per person) following the experimental Covid-19 injections
Note: The number of injuries /deaths reported are dependent on many factors including numbers of injections administered, how many of these have been second doses along with the age groups of those who have received these doses and indeed the work of the MHRA in ensuring all cases by all manufacturers get investigated and reported in a timely and consistent manner.

"A 16-year-old girl developed neurological problems after she received Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, however, doctors have said that her new tremors, tics and severe migraines cannot possibly be caused by the jab.
In an interview with The Defender, Sarah Green and her mother, Marie, said that they now feel helpless and nobody will acknowledge Sarah’s vaccine injury and “nobody can help them.”
On May 4th, Sarah got her second dose of the Pfizer jab where she immediately began experiencing a headache at the base of her neck which radiated to her temples. Sarah said that she felt like she got “hit by a bus” and took a nap in hopes that she could sleep it off."

UK court overturns PUBERTY BLOCKERS ruling
The court of appeal has overturned a ruling last year that prevented under-16s from receiving puberty blockers to prepare them for gender reassignment surgery.
Tavistock and Portman NHS foundation trust won their appeal in a case involving Keira Bell, who had argued her treatment for gender dysphoria - distress caused by the difference between biological sex and gender identity - steered her towards the medicinal route.
Bell later “detransitioned”, and won the initial ruling at the High Court on the grounds that young teens were “unlikely” to be mature enough to receive the hormone treatments.

From Lawyers of Light:
"I can see the court have over turned the declaration by the lower court which narrowly applied to puberty blockers (argued as experimental) and getting the courts consent for under 18s before they were administered
Nothing has changed with respect to Gillick and it is clear that informed consent to medical treatment is necessary for a child, and they must be told risks and benefits to be able to have informed consent.
They are not being told these things, so there is no informed consent. Hence there is no Gillick competence.
As you can see from the above, those administering the jabs would be liable for failure of informed consent, if tested and proved in court"

Digital ID. The commodification of freedom of movement.
From the roll-out of vaccine credentials/certifications, to obtain health passes (under ID2020 Good Health Pass framework) in order to access services – experimental jabs are the portal to achieving a digital identification global infrastructure (utilizing biometrics) – an imperative for a seamless functioning of "ecosystems" (digital finance/wallets, data economy, smart cities, etc.) within the fourth industrial revolution digital architecture. Via framing, marketing, and the branding of bourgeois access, what was formerly recognized as freedom of movement, "the most indelible of rights" (Steppling), is now being repacked as an entitlement in exchange for compliance, within an unfolding fourth industrial revolution economic caste system.
"By 2030, our goal is to enable access to digital identity for every person on the planet." — ID2020 2017 Summit

"I'm just curious if you can see this sort of Lego building up, and all of a sudden, where we were going to have a national identity card, which nobody wants, and is a catastrophe, and they'll waste billions on it, and all this sort of thing, instead we have kind of a national entitlement card...

Current risk of an adverse reaction from the Covid injections is 0.75% i.e. 0.75% of those injected have suffered an adverse reaction ,with on average 3 separate injuries, many of which have been life altering and some of which have been fatal.
This is 0.75% before any boosters are given which will no doubt increase reaction levels as toxicity levels grow.
If only 10% of adverse reactions are reported this figure would be a 7.5% risk of injury/death if injected and if only 1% were reported this would be a 75% risk of injury/death.
So per the study your odds of stopping yourself from catching Covid are roughly on a par with your chances of an adverse reaction from the injection even at the currently reported low rates.
So you should risk injury/death from an experimental injection that MAY give you a 0.84% reduction in your chance of contracting a disease that you have less than a 0.2% chance of dying WITH anyway

The above Lancet study also showed that in order to stop ONE Covid infection 119 people would need to be injected with the experimental Pfizer jab.
In stopping that one infection there would be almost the same chance of giving one person an adverse reaction (with on average 3 injuries and even the possibility of death) from the experimental injection.
If only 10% of the jab adverse reactions were recorded you would injury or kill almost 9 of those 119 people with the injection and if only 1% of the adverse reactions were reported then in order to stop one Covid-19 infection you would actually injury or kill 89 people with the injection.

I’ve not been posting much because I’ve not been well, but this personal & highly informative post touched me deeply.
PLEASE read & share it as widely as you can.
Partly, to bring to international attention the uniquely crazy restrictions from DOMESTIC COVID PASSPORTS in Lithuania, but also as a WARNING.
There’s nothing preventing these kinds of restrictions applying where we each live.
If you’ve been vaccinated, you might not regard this as a big deal.
But it is. It’s a cataclysmic change in the relationship between the private citizen & not only the enormous, coercive power of the state, but also between private individuals.
Much, much worse, you must become aware that while you may qualify initially for a COVID passport to access your life where you live, it’s absolutely inevitable that boosters will soon be imposed.
Unless you acquiesce to every single one that’s dictated, your VaxPass will become invalid & you’ll be as excluded as the never vaccinated.
Why are boosters being mandated? They’re immunologically mad. Immunity simply doesn’t wear off the way they’re claiming. It just doesn’t. If you’ve acquired immunity, the general rule of thumb is that this is a very long-lasting phenomenon, between years & lifelong.
So it’s irrational to insist that you repeatedly be subject to experimental treatments that interfere with your immune system in ways ever those pushing the injections cannot understand.
They cannot know what will happen because this has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
The threat from this virus was never actually large enough for the responses we’ve all witnessed to have been appropriate. And 20+ months on, there can hardly be anyone who hasn’t encountered it.
So please read, think about & share this widely, while you still have a voice & a right to an opinion.
Best wishes & thanks,

VACCINE MANDATES A federal judge in New York state blocked a statewide vaccine mandate for healthcare workers late Tuesday. Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued the mandate last month, and it was scheduled to take effect September 27. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit argue that the absence of a religious exemption violates the US Constitution, the New York State Human Rights Law, and New York City Human Rights Law. The 17 healthcare workers who filed the lawsuit have objected to the vaccine requirement on the grounds that the cell lines of aborted fetuses were used in the vaccine’s development...
GLOBAL VACCINE ACCESS Ahead of a global COVID-19 summit, many researchers and health advocacy organizations are amplifying their calls to increase support for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to manufacture their own SARS-CoV-2 supplies...
