That horrible greedy farmer who badly damaged the River Lugg a couple of years ago has been released from prison, having served only 2-3 months of an already-lenient 10-month sentence.
A good example of how weak the justice system now is. Some flexibility is good, but when convicts are only serving a quarter of a prison sentence, and when that sentence is often inadequate to start with, the system itself starts to break down, as does society.

“Legal tender” is legal tender, but you can see the way the UK is going: “app only” purchasing, “15 minute ghettoes cities”, “social credit”, etc. Dystopian Britain. It’s happening, gradually, all around us, right in front of us.
Part of that is the fake “communitarianism” tested out during the “Covid” “scamdemic”/”panicdemic”, e.g. the “caring sharing” NHS which leaves millions to suffer and die; also the “emergency services” (police, ambulance, fire brigade) in general, which used to respond within minutes, maybe 5, 10, 15 minutes, but now (at least the first two) sometimes take hours to arrive or, more commonly, just refuse to attend at all, referring callers either to a website, or to some bloody “app”, or to often-useless advice lines.

When it comes to the USA, it seems that its ignorant leaders never learn.

That may be right about heat pumps, or some heat pumps, I do not know, but one thing I am sure of is that Reform UK has no chance, politically. Recent by-elections have made that clear.
I do not think that the tide of affairs is moving toward “libertarian” “conservatism”. The people want clean efficient government, in fact quite a few want (unconsciously) a less “Germanic” form of national socialism, or even national near-“communism”, as problems abound with cost of living, housing, crime, migration-invasion, huge inequality etc.
Whatever the UK population does, doesn’t change the climate of the World one iota. People will not tolerate being made poorer or have freedoms removed, for a Net zero con trick.

@danwootton Watching Stanley Johnson defend the surveillance of the electorate for wrong think, I can start to see some of why The Conservative Party got the last thirteen years so wrong.
Only 51%?! I have always known that Conservative Party voters are largely woodentops (so are many Labour Party voters, of course), but if only half of them, even now, after two years of misgovernment and previous years of incompetence, realize that they are being (mis)led by a totally dishonest, and utterly incapable, part-Jew chancer, what on Earth will it take to wake up the other 49%? Unbelievable.
There was nothing wrong with holding the garden party, as such, but the lies and hypocrisy are stunning. The country should never have been shut down for the sake of “Covid” in the first place, though. Madness.

True. That McTernan idiot (who was rather rude about me on Twitter years ago, before the Jew-Zionist lobby had me expelled) has always struck me as rather ignorant, and it seems cannot even think logically. The TV vote mentioned was a UK-wide poll open to anyone, at will; the North Shropshire by-election was limited by reference to geography and voter-status.
As a matter of fact, Blairite, pro-Israel (pro-“intervention”) idiots such as McTernan are a major reason why the British people despise (as Hitler called them) “dirty democratic politicians” (they also despise paid, though ignorant, “advisers” such as McTernan).

This goes beyond the fact of the Jewish lobby etc; it goes to the role of the msm in the UK, in particular, meaning that the British people are very badly served and advised by the blockheads (often) who scribble for newspapers and/or appear on TV as “expert” or “informed” talking heads.

The ridiculous monkey-on-a-stick really thinks that North Shropshire was largely the result of the Owen Paterson sleaze scandal! That was, at most, 5% of it. Try these: the continuing —and worsening— migration invasion across the Channel (and the empty words of earlier migrant invader Priti Patel); the biosecurity police state emerging out of the “panicdemic”; the lack of action on social care, transport and other areas; and the vast amounts —truly vast– utterly wasted on Test and Trace, “vaccines” and the rest of the “Covid” nonsense.
Monkey-on-a-stick seems to have no understanding of the anger and insult felt by the people (including those in North Shropshire). It has nothing much directly to do with the stupid “Covid” “rules” and “laws”, but everything to do with people feeling insulted, disrespected, and laughed at by over-privileged, overpaid, and self-promoting (and mutually-promoting) types such as Boris-idiot, his overbearing and cretinous mistress/wife, the Allegra Stratton-type “comms” mouthpieces, and a pack of clowns posing as ministers, most of whom could not run a whelk stall.

When SAGE’s models match real world data their defenders claim it vindicates them. When they don’t, they then claim the models were merely projections, or influenced behaviour in a way that negated the initial model. Fine. So how are we supposed to actually judge their accuracy.
The world has gone barking mad. SAGE should be modelling a range of plausible scenarios, publishing them, then allowing Ministers, MPs and the public to debate the next steps based on that data. How can that possibly be a debatable point.

“On Thursday 559 people were picked up off the Kent coast after making the crossing in 19 boats, and on Friday 358 people crossed in 10 boats.” [BBC News]
“Picked up off theKent coast“…Oh yes? How far “off” the coast would that be? 10 miles? More?
Soon, even poor weather will not hamper the invasion, as larger rubber boats and RIBs are used. Even now, it can be seen that about 30 are arriving on each boat.
The 900 that arrived on Thursday and Friday will now “have to be” found accommodation, food, spending money, NHS medical care, other services, and few of them will ever be more than a burden to the British people.
What about the past two days, Saturday and Sunday? The same? Another 900?
I do not even need to bet (because I know) that the same quasi-traitors who support the migration-invasion are the same virtue-signalling hypocrites who will soon be crying about how the NHS is “under-resourced”, about how the police are “under-resourced”, about how there is a worsening housing crisis in the UK; and so on.
Quite right. I can recall, almost every year for decades (literally decades, about 25 years), the NHS having a “winter crisis”. Long before “Covid”.
The “panicdemic” is not only convenient as a way of introducing a police state under another guise; it is also convenient for the very poorly-administered NHS. It supplies a narrative: “we are swamped by Covid!” OK, so that’s your excuse in 2021 and for 2020. So, er, what was the reason the NHS was “in crisis” for almost all of the preceding 25 winters?
Not that I am opposed to the NHS, meaning public healthcare free at point of use. I heard secondhand a (thought credible) story about a lady somewhere (I forget where exactly) in the USA, who developed, many years ago, a serious problem with hearing (and had had a problem since birth) and, because her health insurance, which she actually had, would not cover it, had been extremely restricted in her enjoyment of life. For years.
It seems that that lady was finally able to get the (actually pathetically small) amount of money required recently, but how sad that, for lack of a very small amount of money (less than £3,000 in UK money), she was so handicapped for many years.
No-one sensible wants to replace the existing health services with a “pay or die” system. However, something needs to change.
The principle of the NHS is good, but the NHS lost its way sometime in the Blair-Brown years, 10-20 years ago. Maladministration. Callousness. Lack of proper direction.
The migration invasion has made matters much worse.
Answer: because the part-Jew, part-Levantine clown and public entertainer who should be “running the country” is incapable of doing so, and should never have risen higher than backbench MP level, if that.
“is it becuz Claudia Webbe is black, a woman, and an MP?” Answers on a postcard…and then you see agonized articles in the New Statesman, or Guardian, speculating as to why people will still not vote “Labour” even now that “nasty uncle Adolf” (Corbyn) has been replaced by nice safe (it is claimed) Keir Starmer.
Starmer is not a “supporter of terrorism” (except Israeli state terrorism”, and the kind of Jewish sub-terrorism that we have seen in the UK in the past); likewise, Starmer is not “an anti-Semite”…I have no doubt that that is so! Good grief, he even has a Jewish wife, and children being brought up as if fully-Jewish!
Seems, however, that that sort of claim cuts little mustard with the voting public. True, the opinion polls now show “Labour” ahead of the equally-misnamed “Conservatives”, but then look at this shambles of a government!
The word “omnishambles” could have been coined for this mis-government. Indeed, the word is not even strong enough.
I have reposted a few tweets with which I agree, but it is disturbing that someone apparently at a “leading university” can compose a sentence such as “twitters self proclaimed education correspondent” without an apostrophe or a hyphen in sight. Sign of the times.
Labour
I have already made a few comments today, and yesterday, and the day before, about the Labour Party. The fact is that those opinion polls are only favourable to Labour by default. The North Shropshire result cannot just be ignored on the argument that “…because Labour never wins there“.
Even taking into account tactical voting (which obviously took place), the North Shropshire result was very poor for Labour. For one thing, why was Labour not the chosen tactical vote recipient? Why the LibDems? In the past, even in the last (2019) election for the seat, in fact in the last three elections (2019, 2017, 2015), Labour, not the LibDems, came in in second place.
Indeed, the LibDems have only come second in the constituency twice, in 2010 and in 1992. In all others, in third place, often a distant third.
The LibDem vote in North Shropshire was only 10% in 2019, and even lower (5.3%) in 2017. In fact, even in the 2010 days of “Cleggmania”, the LibDem vote only reached 20.9% (with Labour on 18.1%).
The sheer ineptitude of the Boris Johnson misgovernment is obviously a factor, going beyond even that of previous Conservative and Labour governments but, even so, something more is going on here. Labour has lost not only credibility, but relevance, raison d’etre.
There is no “industrial proletariat”, just an increasingly raceless (in the cities) and cultureless “precariat”. “Labour”-label speaks for (or at least to) mainly those with public sector jobs, to the blacks (those that even bother to vote) and to some of the “browns”, esp. Pakistanis etc. Not really to any other group of any size.
The Labour MPs are largely seen as useless. Some of the black women are especially poor, but they are not alone. A significant number of Labour MPs have been convicted, arrested, or suspended in the past year alone.
Tactical voting would only help Starmer if Lib Dem voters switch to Labour when Labour is the main challenger. This by-election shows how toxic Labour still are to the electorate – despite being in 2nd place in North Shropshire in 2019, they were not seen as the challenger.
— Feeling Brexitty! 🇮🇱🇺🇦 #NeverLabour 🇬🇧 (@GrumpyOldLab) December 19, 2021
It is always hard to predict a General Election in the UK, bearing in mind the crazy First Past The Post voting system, and the contrived boundaries of constituencies, but to my mind we are heading into hung Parliament territory again. That nearly happened (again) in 2019, but Labour’s collapsed vote (a collapse of 8 points) enabled the Conservative Party (the vote of which increased by 1 point) to get an 80-seat majority.
If, next time, the Labour vote collapses further, but the Conservative vote also falls, the LibDems may manage to pick up a number of Conservative seats. Maybe…but with the Conservatives still left holding, probably, a plurality of seats.
I would not totally write off the Conservative Party just yet, poor though the “Conservatives” are, if Boris-idiot is binned. There is still a lot of traditional, ingrained, support for the Conservatives, especially in rural and southern England, whereas in the traditionally Labour areas, support for Labour has ebbed away, or eroded. I cannot see Keir Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel front bench reversing that trend.
“Boris” is now a dead weight for the Conservative Party. If he is removed, the party, poor though it is, must be a match for equally-poor Labour.
The “Covid” “laws”, “rules”, “measures” and general nonsense have also weakened support for Con Party (and for Labour, which has weakly followed and supported the Conservative Government).
As for the LibDems, few vote for them, as such. People are voting against the major System parties.
My view since the days of the Con Coalition of 2010-2015, that the LibDems are finished, still holds, despite Amersham, despite North Shropshire. The only question is when the last LibDem MP will go, and that will not happen while the Conservative Party is as toxic as it now is, because the LibDems will be there as “alternative”, particularly where Labour is sliding and/or has no chance.
This should be a good moment for social-nationalism, but there is no social-national party, and no real movement.
The superficially-educated ignorant
Watched an episode of TheChase from a few years ago. Probably the worst team I have seen. One woman seemed to know nothing at all, literally nothing (except how to walk and speak), while another, a young woman with a degree in English, and who was going to be doing a master’s degree in magazine journalism, was frighteningly ignorant for someone with at least 16 years of full-time education (and who wanted to start her own magazine!). She thought that Elizabeth I was the grandmother of Tsaritsa Alexandra of Russia (it was Victoria, as all my readers will know)! She also thought that the famously affluent Thameside village of Bray is in Sussex (it’s Berkshire). There were even worse answers from her, but I have already forgotten them.
Needless to say, that team won no money, but I was left, as I often am, concerned about the state of this country, and about the cultural-educational level of the population.
It especially concerns me that —it often seems— the least-educated young people are going either into teaching or into journalism.
There are secret cabals, often with occult bases, pursuing specific lines of attack in the msm. Only an informed investigative force can even begin to identify the culprits and deal with them.
I still wonder whether Farage got a huge offshore payoff for his treachery to his own followers during the 2019 General Election. I should not be surprised if he gets a peerage (as well) in the “Boris” resignation honours list. Claire Fox getting one must have been a kind of down-payment, or declaration of intent.
Piers Morgan— a major System mouthpiece. What a disgusting sentiment he tweeted, too, apart from being totally illogical. I suppose that one should not expect too much from a broadcaster whose education peaked with his attendance (on a journalism course) at Harlow College of Further Education, Essex.
As if GPs and A&E personnel know anything much in detail about the virus(es) or the agenda behind the vaccine(es).
Covid's killed off #flu for a SECOND year There is of course no mystery here – the tests can't tell the difference. You have allowed them to destroy freedom & normality for rebranded flu & the common cold.https://t.co/hFVbfDi8ph
If you just step back and look at what has happened to our society specifically in the past nearly 2 years, it is more than alarming; one could say frightening. The 2022-2055 agenda is already clearly readied by the secret cabals and ruling circles: travel restrictions, political repression, mass elimination, microchips under the skin to track and control hundreds of millions of people on both a mass and an individual basis, while at the same time tearing apart European race, culture, and way of life.
This will not be opposed, not at all effectively, by actions such as marches, vigils, letters to newspapers, tweets, blogs etc.

“Panicdemic”
“PROFESSOR CARL HENEGHAN: I’m a GP on the frontline, and I don’t think we’re overwhelmed with Covid” [Mail on Sunday]
This police habit, that is of relatively recent usage, of arresting fairly innocuous suspects in the middle of the night, or early in the morning (by which I mean before 0900 hrs) has become ingrained.
When I was at the practising Bar, I was asked once (around 2002) to advise in a case (a potential action against the police) involving a woman accused of having (though never charged with having) thrown a stone at a neighbour’s car following an incident connected with an ongoing local problem over limited parking space in a close.
In fact, that woman never was charged, and there was in fact no evidence that anyone had thrown a stone, nor even that the damage had been caused by a stone: the slight damage to the car may anyway have occurred by accident, without human agency.
The point is that that woman (a married mother of school-age children, and a medical secretary without previous convictions of any kind) was arrested at 0700 in her own home, at a time when she and her family were half-awake and about to have breakfast. She was taken away in front of her young daughters, and held in a police station for about 5 hours before being released without charge.
I think that there have to be placed statutory curbs on this kind of police behaviour. There are of course dangerous offenders, or fugitives, who may have to be arrested at night, and without any warning, who may be armed, or who may be planning an imminent attack of some sort. Any other kind of suspect should be arrested at a civilized hour and in a civilized way. Indeed, it was not necessary to have arrested the woman in my story at all, and I suspect that the same is true of Piers Corbyn.
It was not wrong of the person posing as PM to hold a reception or party; what was wrong was that he and his fellow clowns prevented, by law, “ordinary citizens” from doing the same. The hypocrisy, and “entitlement”, and mendacity was wrong too.
The Chinese characters for “crisis” are said to mean “danger” and “point of change” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_word_for_%22crisis%22]. Appropriate, at this time when the great Chinese nation has emerged to challenge the West for world supremacy.
Was “the virus” a planned release, posed as an “accident”? We may never know for sure. Some may say that such a speculation is a “conspiracy theory”, but if so, it is one supported —or not dismissed at any rate— by some pretty well-informed people.
Sir Richard Dearlove, one-time SIS chief, seems to believe that the virus came from an accident in a named Chinese lab, and was not an accident of and in the natural world and/or a market.
I personally (obviously not an expert in scientific subjects) find it very strange that the outbreak in Wuhan was contained very easily in the end, and there was quite swiftly an end to “lockdowns”, “social distancing” and facemask wearing etc. Only about 3% of the population of Wuhan was infected (some sources say); the official death rate was a tiny fraction of 1%, being around 5,000 people in a city of 11 million (about 1 death for every 2,000 inhabitants); and most parts of China were completely unaffected.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Austria, Italy, fast-spreading outbreaks. Was there a deliberate planting of material there?
Reverting to the main theme, 31 years ago socialism dissolved all over the world. I have blogged about it before. The fact that the Chinese government still pretends to be “Communist” or socialist carries no weight. “Communist” is just the name on the outside of the box.
Neither does the fact that there are a few pitiful failed “socialist” states here and there prove the survival of socialism as a significant ideology rising beyond the level of a small political cult. North Korea, with its bizarre pseudo-socialist “monarchy” (by any other name); Cuba, which without Soviet subsidy has become what one would expect of a Latino dictatorship ruling over an island populated mainly by blacks and those of mixed race. Ramshackle, its roads potholed, its railways scarcely functioning, its capital full of condemned and collapsed buildings.
As I have blogged previously, in the UK whatever existed of socialism or even social-democracy soon dissipated. The Labour Party deleted Clause 4 from its constitution and socialism was dead in Labour as well as everywhere else.
Corbyn’s rise was resistance against the finance-capitalism then riding triumphant despite the 2008 crash. It was, however, unsuccessful. Now we see Labour just a pale copy of Blairism, run by a former prosecuting lawyer who is, like all his Cabinet, completely tied in with the Jewish/Israel lobby.
Social nationalism, in terms of parties and organizations, has rarely been so weak. A consequence of the globalist finance-capital trend since 1989. The BNP started to gain some traction before 2010, but in the end failed, just like Corbynism.
Now we see widespread discontent, but nowhere (in the UK) amounting to even a real hard protest, let alone any kind of “revolution”. Even the recent dictatorial “control” “laws” [invalid, fake, laws] could not raise much of a protest. Maybe 10,000 in Trafalgar Square, listening to speeches.
When the economy really tanks, when neither Government nor (fake) Opposition can offer the then-suffering British people anything, then social-nationalism might have a chance, but only if it has developed by then (meaning 2022) at least the nucleus of a disciplined party organization.
2022 will bring in an era of change across the world. The world between 2022 and 2055 will be as different from the world 1989-2022 as that now is when compared to 1956-1989.

“Dr. Tim” (of whom I have blogged in the past: see https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/) thinks that now-misnamed “Labour” should make it difficult for anyone of modest means to join.

If (which I doubt, frankly) that report is accurate, then at last Boris-idiot will have done something worthwhile. I support public service broadcasting, in principle, but the BBC is not that, not any more, if it ever was (certainly not after some admittedly indeterminate point in the past; maybe 1980 or so). I now hate the BBC despite it still having a few good things showing (mainly on BBC Four).
We see here how swiftly our new order, based on fear as the justification for huge state power, is wiping out centuries of law and liberty. Australia today, Scotland soon, England not long after. https://t.co/i8MB84XDx9
Leave aside the revolting treatment of the woman involved (if you can), what is happening here is the actual suppression of the freedom to protest ( see also the lawless fining of Piers Corbyn without due process) https://t.co/i8MB84XDx9
There's a weird inversion of conventional opinion, by which the arrest of a pregnant woman, in a formerly free country, for calling for a peaceful protest is seen as normal, while those who are opposed to such things are seen as weirdo conspiracists.
Hitchens is right. All across the world, and perhaps especially in those jurisdictions which for long have considered themselves “societies under law”, with civil rights and reasonable freedoms, there has been a stunning abrogation of liberty, moreover an entirely (from the public health point of view) unnecessary abrogation of rights and liberties. Incidentally, if anyone reading this cannot see the difference between “a society under law” and a mere “society that has laws”, all I can do here is request (for your own sake) that you research that difference.
Also, take a look at Twitter. Most of the pseudo-socialists, “antifa” twits, most of the Jewish element, are applauding the dictatorial measures being employed in Australasia (New Zealand is almost as bad as Australia, though less confrontational).
As I have blogged previously, the ideological unsoundness of the self-described “Left” (I myself avoid the “Left”/”Right” meaninglessness) is shown by their wish to be controlled and ordered about by the State. That is why these people have no political traction. They have no real core belief beyond various “anti” positions.
Such laws @oz_uk are of doubtful validity, and ought to be challenged in the courts. But if police powers can be used against peaceful protest today, they can be used to suppress elections tomorrow. A line has been crossed and you don't care. You will care,but too late. https://t.co/6Xx02mmRzp

In the old Soviet Union, they were called Homo Sovieticus…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_Sovieticus].
It is very strange and I am trying hard to explain it. I think the western world has been afraid of liberty for some time, lacking any compass with which to navigate it. To a growing number of people, a more parental state is actually desirable. They don't want to be free. https://t.co/8AQT9GNrJc
WEll, @brian_in_dorset, I think we all finally have your measure now – someone who supports the handcuffing of a pregnant woman in front of her children for calling for a peaceful protest. No free country could make or enforce such a law. https://t.co/NVmqehkWbX
Looks like a record day for illegal Channel crossings.

The only word for today is invasion, which I predicted would happen months ago. A record day, perhaps as high as 400. The nation is being humiliated and the government does nothing. pic.twitter.com/YjXlbUCYn1
Confirmed: 409 illegal immigrants landed in Britain today on 27 boats. This will get worse and confidence in the Tories taking back control is collapsing. pic.twitter.com/GrQlO2hdal
I regard Nigel Farage as “controlled opposition”, but I repost his tweets here because his are the best record today of the migration-invasion happening. 400+ in one day!
What use is a Royal Navy, a Royal Air Force, a Border Force that cannot stop this invasion of untermenschen by any and all means? Do you say “because the armed services are there to stop Russian invasion“? If so, you are very foolish.
The Russia of today is not the old Soviet Union, and has no ideology that differs much from that of “the West”, beyond a certain nationalistic outlook. The Russians are far less expansionist than the Americans these days. The USA is the brute force behind the New World Order [NWO] expansion in Eurasia.
Russia has neither the means to invade the UK nor any interest in invading the UK but, speaking frankly, I should prefer a Russian invasion to one by these hordes of (mostly) near-savages. At least I should be able to speak the language!
I’m just gonna leave this here, as we watch people being assaulted, shamed, and called murderers for not wearing a face mask. pic.twitter.com/WbDFrEYS1V
The Chief Medical Officer has publicly stated that the R figure is low enough to justify relaxations in the restrictions. The NHS has not been overwhelmed. The surge did not happen. The Nightingale has been stood down. Our economy is on free-fall. What are we waiting on? pic.twitter.com/GDSfunIkjG
Sorry I will not wear a mask. You can give me dirty looks. You can tell me I cannot come into your stores or use your transportation. But I won’t be wearing one
This is mass hysteria and I will not participate in it
I’m clearly missing something. I’m sure I’ve watched numerous ministers, including Boris, calling for people to avoid public transport and to take the car if they have access to one. Now they’ve slapped a huge increase on the London car charge. What is the logic? https://t.co/F52mXdbDlO
What she is “missing” is that it is the Mayor of London, via Transport for London [TfL] who decides about the London Congestion Charge…but when did lack of basic knowledge ever stop any (well-known or obscure) person from tweeting?
The “Lubaba” one apparently lives in Croydon, and is a Student Union officer, so was probably brought up (and born) in the UK, but hates us –meaning hates British, meaning “white”, people– (under cover of hating the British Empire).
She thinks that she and her family would be much better off had her ancestors been left in the primaeval squalor of Central or West Africa…
“Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain” [Schiller].
I notice that “Lubaba” has flags from Barbados, Trinidad and Palestine on her Twitter masthead, as well as what is presumably the Labour Party rose. No Union Jack. No St. George’s flag. Many of the blacks and browns often seem to just hate us. They really should not be in Europe at all. And they are steadily outbreeding us…
Here are some more untermenschen supposedly “equal” to us…
Perhaps the most emotive [accusation] concerns slavery. During the 18th century, the peak of the huge and lucrative Atlantic slave trade, British merchants bought slaves from African rulers — on average, 120 people every day by the 1780s — and sold them primarily to French, Portuguese-Brazilian and British planters. Was this the source of Britain’s wealth, and the fuel of the Industrial Revolution? Profit from the slave trade made individuals rich, but accounted for about one per cent of national income. The Industrial Revolution’s key element was coal, of which Britain had a lot.
Where the British Empire’s relationship with slavery was unique was in combatting it. Britain abolished its own slave trade in 1807. In 1834 it abolished slavery throughout the Empire. British subjects were forbidden to own slaves anywhere in the world.”
I have to admit that I was unaware that the slave trade accounted for only 1% of national income (unclear as to whether that 1% was only the actual trade, or including profits made using slaves, eg West Indies cotton and sugar).
Yes @MarkyV18, of course governments claim that their mad destructive actions saved lives. They would, wouldn't they? (as Mandy Rice Davies would have said). Their futures depend on it. The amazing thing is that a credulous public *believes* it without question. https://t.co/4bvKLesCB1
Here (above) is a link to that article. It is very true about Wikipedia. I like and use Wikipedia a great deal, but it is very blinkered on certain topics, among which is the so-called “holocaust” fable. Many of Wikipedia’s editors (mostly unpaid volunteers) are Jews (especially American Jews).
Another topic upon which Wikipedia is very biased is anything to do with what the Jews, “antifa” idiots and msm usually term “far Right” politics. You will be misinformed if you rely on Wikipedia for information about that.
Finally, Wikipedia will allow newspaper articles to be cited, but not if the newspaper is the Daily Mail! The Sun? OK. The Daily Mirror? OK. Morning Star? OK. In fact, as far as I know, any newspaper, and certainly any mainstream newspaper, is OK, but never the Daily Mail. On any topic. I am hardly likely to be pro-Daily Mail, as such, having been featured generally unfavourably by that newspaper in the past (2016) but it is no worse than the rest of the msm; and often more informative.

Look at the sheer number of Police Officers present to arrest Jeremy Corbyn's brother Piers at Hyde Park corner for taking part in the Lockdown protest.
No masks to protect themselves or the public & the officer handling the loudspeaker Piers Corbyn had isn't wearing gloves. 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/9KKe5iw5YN
This is what happens now when we try and excercise the right to free speech and protest. Piers Corbyn is a brave man and should not have been arrested. Shameful https://t.co/HzypAfj0s4
Time was when you could speak freely at Speakers’ Corner, Hyde Park. In fact I myself spoke there to fickle crowds a few times (in 1978, if memory serves). Not now. (((They))) have killed free speech. At Speakers’ Corner. In print. Online. Toytown police state.
Coronavirus, “lockdown”, and the toytown police state (that might become a real police state)
I have so far only skim-read this https://t.co/WYQ0aQMuM1 and so cannot possibly endorse it, and do not do so.. But it does contain a very disturbing summary of events.
It is alarming. For example, Devon and Cornwall Police: “On 1 April, Devon and Cornwall Police released a statement saying that, regardless of the guidance from both the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing, it would not be changing its position on people travelling by car to a place for exercise. ‘Our interpretation is that it is not reasonable, for the majority, to drive miles to a specific place such as a beauty spot. It is also not within the spirit of what we are trying to achieve if you drive from Devon to the coast of Cornwall for surfing, regardless of whether that is “lawful” or not.’”
In other words, the Devon and Cornwall Police, among others, are going to try to “interpret” the will of the Government, and apply that, regardless of whether that has the force of law or not…
The above is a good example of the Common Purpose attitude (“Leading beyond authority“) which has infected the police and public services generally over the past 30 years: the police actually purporting to decide what is the law, and even saying, straight out and brazenly, that they are going to allow or disallow X, Y, or Z whether X, Y or Z are lawful or not!
Then there is the police “nark on a neighbour” idea, which at one time was attracting nearly 6,000 quasi-Stalinist denunciations daily!
Other tweets
I'm starting to feel sorry for Prof Neil Ferguson, now apparently being measured for his costume as the national scapegoat for the biggest mistake in 60 years. https://t.co/Shx1abGtKL. He was just one expert of many. They didn't *have* to choose his advice. The govt's fault.
Yes, this map could have *something* to do with NZ's ( and St Helena's, and Antarctica's and Pitcairn's amazing 'success' in not having many Covid cases. https://t.co/FxT2SS5ypk
John Buchan once wrote a book, one of his least famous, called The Island of Sheep. It was an adventure thriller set on an island full of (real) sheep. The sheep I am talking about here, though, are metaphorical sheep (aka some British people) and “the island of sheep” is Britain.
Look at the tweets below, from a woman who thinks of herself, looking at her Twitter profile and “pinned tweet”, as an independent thinker…
I'm enjoying being politically independent. My views and opinions haven't really changed much, they just don't seem to have a natural home anymore. So I will keep speaking out, protesting and debating. And I'll lend my vote to whoever makes sense at the time.
Dismayed by events at #HydePark, those people should now be quarantined for 14 days, but of course they won't. Police should seal the Park, not let them out, they have deliberately given themselves a high chance of infection. They're walking biological hazards.

She displays no real thought at all. The latest estimate was that 24 people a day in London, a city of about 9 million inhabitants, are being infected with the Chinese virus. That is 3 people out of every millionliving in London.
Another example?
What we need is government to give clear instructions, and journalists to inform us about it. What we've got is so vague, journos are making suggestions. Chaos. https://t.co/687DvuCPQM

Very “Soviet”. Government decides, journalists then obediently transmit and explain the decision to the broad masses…
In fact, that is more or less what has happened up to now, but this shambolic government of fools, led by a part-Jew public entertainer who seems to live an unmeritedly charmed life (so far), is floundering, driven more by public relations than by “the science”, let alone common sense.
She shows herself, like so many on Twitter, and particularly the pseudo-socialist ones (this lady herself is in fact a supporter of Corbyn-style Labour), as almost begging to be told where to go and not go, what to do and not do. She is brainwashed by the “virus” scare to the nth degree. “Independent”? About as much as any marionette or automaton…
Actually, I should not spend too much time on this lady, though she is typical of so many on Twitter, but she is rather “the gift that keeps on giving”:
Finding the tweets on Lucozade really interesting. I remember it as a sports drink, but it seems older people remember it only when they were ill. It seems to be just another soft drink now. It was deliberately high in sugar, maybe that's why we have an obesity crisis.
— Louise Ellis Davies ☮💕 (@louanndavies) May 15, 2020
As a child in the early to mid-1960s, I was only ever given Lucozade (the original one, in a large glass bottle with yellow cellophane wrapping) when unwell. It was thought to aid recovery and maybe it did, because it was indeed high in glucose. Where the tweeter above goes wrong is in saying that Lucozade caused obesity. Hardly. Most children only had about 2 bottles a year, if that!
I see people like that on Twitter daily, the ones who think of themselves as thinking people, often (as in her case) socialist or rather pseudo-socialist (well-meaning perhaps, so be it…). They make about 9 silly points for every 1 good point.
