“It was a unique illness that globally killed millions. Commonly known as Spanish flu, it so overwhelmed Mary Wiseman that in delirium, she not only cut her own throat but also stabbed her baby daughter.“
[Bournemouth Echo]
Well worth reading.
Incidentally, as that report makes plain, the “Spanish Flu” (which in fact seems to have originated in the USA, specifically in Kansas) is variously estimated to have killed anywhere from 17 to 50 million people worldwide (including 200,000 in the UK), which certainly puts the “Covid” “panicdemic” in perspective.
While 200,000+ are supposed to have died “with Covid” in the UK over the five years 2020-2025 (mostly in 2020-2022), almost all of those deaths were in fact from other causes and/or from normal winter influenza (reclassified, in effect, as “Covid” deaths).
Did the authorities of 1918-1919 “lock down” the country, or the world? No. Life continued.

The Zelensky dictatorship is getting totally desperate for cannon-fodder.
The Kiev-regime forces targeting civilians in southern Russia. Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

I happened to notice that a blog post from several years ago had a few hits this morning. I took a look and saw the following paragraphs written by me. Still correct, I think…
“Definitions: “British expat“— someone who lives and works temporarily in another country/society, or retires there with a pension and/or capital, or goes to live in another closely-connected white society such as Australia or New Zealand. Will have arrived in that country lawfully, and is almost invariably an asset to the host country.
“Migrant“, aka “migrant-invader“— today usually a black or brown person, who may or may not have arrived lawfully in the UK (or other white European-race country), who will almost invariably have no capital or income, and will almost certainly be a drain on the public funds of the UK or other unwillingly-hosting country. The invader will either be unwilling to work (except for extra and untaxed cash while also claiming State welfare benefits), or be unable to work at anything beyond the lowest grade of employment by reason of having few if any marketable skills, no usable qualifications, and often little or no English language proficiency. A millstone round the neck of the UK (etc).
Anyone who equates “Brit expat” with black/brown migrant-invader is not only very mistaken, but a complete idiot (and/or malicious).”

A 2021 blog post that had a couple of hits today.
I think, still quite interesting.

Lewis should have been struck off years ago.
