Help! I’m being bullied!
Honestly – I wasn’t going to do it! I wasn’t going to get stuck in the newsie news offered by our MSM, but some headlines were simply too delicious. I had to check out the text underneath. Look at the usual announcement by ‘staff’ to see why: “Newspaper headlines: Sunak under investigation and Charles’ Coronation quiche” (link).
‘Coronation Quiche’ – really? Is that the ‘news’ which’ll make punters rush to buy the papers? Btw – the DM has helpfully published the recipe (link) and by gawd, ‘royal’ or not, you couldn’t pay me to eat that bland stuff, never mind make it!
To give them their due, the editors of the DM had actually given over their print edition’s front page to the ‘General Alarm’ issue. It’s also at the top of their online edition, headlined “So which genius thought it was a good idea to terrify the whole country at 3pm on a Sunday?” (link). After providing helpful advice on how to switch the thing off on yer smartphones, after quoting every spokesperson from groups and NGOs who are concerned for valid reasons, one has to scroll all the way down to the bottom to find out who this ‘genius’ was:
“Oliver Dowden, the minister overseeing the scheme, said: ‘Getting this system operational means we have a vital tool to keep the public safe in life-threatening emergencies. It could be the sound that saves your life.” Tests have been carried out in Reading and East Suffolk. Around one in 20 participants subsequently opted out.” (link)
Ah! And the whole thing will cost us taxpayers £22m – genius indeed! Of course, the DM didn’t say that clicking on yon message on your smartphone will provide the government with lovely personal data from your ‘phone, or at least document how many ‘phones the government can thus access. I do wonder if we’ll be told on Monday how many have opted out.
There’s also been another colourful ‘protest’, at the Snooker World Championship. Two idiots of the group who recently poured tomato soup over a painting threw orangey-yellowy powder bombs on snooker tables, ruining the matches and presumably the tables (e.g. link, paywalled). Why our ‘authorities’ are incapable of stopping these terrorists is a question our MSM are unwilling to ask.
Of course, given that MI5 will hopefully have their hands full finding actual terrorists amongst the ‘poor refugees’, and that he police forces have to chase up ‘hate speech’ and stuff means they cannot be expected to deal with such petitesses. It’s an indictment of the government and Whitehall, demonstrating yet again that they couldn’t care less of our, the taxpayers’ wishes and concerns.
Meanwhile the subterranean campaign against Simon Case, the Cabinet Secretary, is gathering pace. Now that the ‘case’ of the bullying (allegedly) Dominic Raab is apparently coming to an end the Westminster lot needs another one. According to The Times, the top Raab-chaser, ‘we’ can soon expect to see the ‘report’: “Dominic Raab ‘bullying’ report expected in days – Deputy prime minister’s fate after inquiry will be decided by Rishi Sunak” (link, paywalled)
Note the reference to the PM. This is delicate because he’s now also ‘under investigation’, according to iNews whose front page graced the top spot in Auntie Beeb’s collection (link). Apparently, he’s not listed his wife’s shares on his parliamentary register: disgraceful! But let’s not quibble and be grateful that there are so many lefty eyes trained on government figures – for example, as mentioned above, Simon Case: (all emphases are mine):
“A former civil servant is suing the Cabinet Office and its head Simon Case for “direct discrimination and harassment”. Rowaa Ahmed, who used to work at the Treasury, has lodged two claims with an employment tribunal. The direct discrimination and harassment claim is on the grounds of “sex and race”, while a further legal claim is over alleged “victimisation”. The claims name the Cabinet Office and Mr Case, the Cabinet Secretary, along with three other mandarins.” (paywalled link)
So it’s not just Mr Case then, with ‘three other mandarins’ also being named. Let’s forget that Mr Case hasn’t worked at the Treasury. Above all, let’s forget that the tribunal rejected Mr Case’s lawyers’ argument:
“His lawyers said there were no “substantive” allegations of discrimination against him. But this argument rejected [sic!] by the tribunal, even though the tribunal found it was “clear” that the part allegedly played by Mr Case and two other parties was “relatively minor”.” (paywalled link)
Does this ‘tribunal’ not look at other ‘cases’? Are only those interesting for the Westminster Press which name Mr Case, be the allegations ever so spurious? Are only those ‘bullied’ by certain cabinet figures worthy of being mentioned in the press?
Instead of asking truly inconvenient questions of Whitehall and the current Cabinet, for example about the cost to the taxpayer of ‘being nice to climate terrorists’, we’re presented with concerted efforts by the Westminster ‘press’ to get rid of Case and Raab. Was nobody bullied by the Sedwills or Oily Robbinses of the May regime? Is nobody bullied in the MoD or the Treasury?
Yes, bullying is bad, but there’s bullying and there’s bullying. Being told to work as expected ain’t it. And aren’t we taxpaying peasants bullied by the time- and money wasters in government, e.g. wasting £22m on a ‘general alarm’? The ‘Brecon Beacons Saga’ I mentioned yesterday is a fine example of bullying a whole nation in the name of ‘Net Zero’.
That’s all I have for today. Perhaps someone ought to start a case of bullying against those climate terrorists: they’re bullies, and “we” must fight bullies wherever they crop up, right? Have a good day.

There shouldn’t be any need for debate as it clearly violates our being an independent nation (well sort of as we now are). As suggested in the article “Leave the WHO, leave the UN. Cut the c**p, just do it.” and respect the petition that some of us signed.
Well, one thing is for sure, Oliver Dowden is the biggest tool going. No ifs and no buts. Go and take a hike you utter k**b***key…..
CH- if I were Colin H my reply would be your well used expression – I have no idea what you are talking about. G** it?
Biscotte……..did you get a reply back from the Bletchley Park deciphering unit about your other comment?
I was informed by a UK Independence Party circular today that Anne Marie Walters has rejoined the UK Independence Party and been appointed the party Justice spokesman. At one time I would have been against such a move, but now I feel the time has come for those who left the UK Independence Party for whatever reason to return to the fold and unite in the interests of the country and fight against the left wing doctrine presently pursued by the mainstream parties. As for Reform UK, they are not the answer and are just Tory Lite. And Waters whatever one my think about her, is a good orator, and the UK Independence is in need of bright, intelligent and dynamic orators able to swing an argument. I just hope that she has learnt her lesson, that extremist talk is not the answer either.
It will be interesting to see what the general population would do in the event of a general alarm, experience shows that most will either run around like headless chickens, or stand and gawp and when everything fails, there will be thousands calling for an enquiry after guidance was found to be not forthcoming or inadequate and of course the media will be full of me too sob stories and photographs of people crying. Then after lessons have not been learned the media will turn to the next ‘big thing’ along the lines of plucky Brits carry on a cooking quiche . Dumbed down and childish in the extreme.
I already had it switched off on my phone as I could not see a need for when I set the phone up – it will stay that way!
There was a play on TV in the sixties that opened with a conversation between two people sitting on a bench. The conversation increasingly made no sense until, by the end of the play, the camera had moved far enough back for the viewer to see that the conversation was between two patients in a mental asylum. Physical distance from the UK and distracted by someone else’s madhouse, so to speak, the UK’s insanity as reflected in its news is as clear as at the end of that play.
Quiche is a French dish. No chance that our new anti-tradition, Islam appeasing King was going to recommend a toad-in-the-hole or pork pie recipe. No beef or pork to offend hindus or muslims. But what about the eggs in quiche? Aren’t there some vegans who don’t eat eggs? What about them? Perhaps quiche is a cunning plan to use up eggs so none are left to throw at him.
I have a smart phone. It is useful – Mrs Y sends me real time pics when out and about – though not essential. Mrs Y and I also have two anonymous burner phones which we use to keep in touch when at demos and the like (smartphones are left at home for tracking and identity purposes).
It is clear from what is happening in the EU, and has already happened in China, that digital id is coming. After the 2024 Olympics the EU will roll out its face scanning and finger printing for anyone who enters the EU (initially only for non-EU residents). Add pressure from the UN and WEF, along with Sunak’s plan for CBDC already underway, it is unlikely the UK will resist digitising citizenship indefinitely. Living off-grid is going to be extremely difficult especially for older people who need medical services or prescriptions filled. It will start as a requirement for travel as soon as next year. Well, it started a while ago with the US and Singapore if not elsewhere. There is little we can do except resist going cashless for as long as we can.
I think it was quite feasible for people to put up effective resistance to many of the abominations inflicted on us, if they had done so in sufficient numbers. Then they would at least have kept their self respect and dignity if nothing else.
The difficult one will be surviving outside the grid as you say. But I refuse to be defeatist.
Re. “General Alarm”.
It’s hard to see who would benefit from what sort of general alarm. Every sort of danger I can think of, the “endangered” phone user would already know about it.
No this is part of something else. Part of the process making us all dependent on smartphones.
I think there is a plot control everybody and especially
their finances through these devices.
You’ll know if my conspiracy theory is true when it becomes possible to receive money using your smartphone as well as hand it out.
Then shrapnel/coinage can be got rid of and every transaction will be recorded (and taxed.)
Also your purchases will be regulated.
eg If you’re a fat git you won’t be allowed to buy mars bars.
Your whereabouts will also be known.
Needless to say, I don’t have a smartphone & no intentions of getting one.
Maybe the next step will be the government handing out free smart phones?
Maybe an electronic device will be implanted in your brain at birth?
I share your concerns Harry but far too many consider that we have a benign and helpful government when, in reality, it is truly the enemy within.
HA and Jack T: Agree. Plus, the hugest most imminent danger to us all is of course TPTB themselves and MSM.
What will they ever do to protect us from the WHO International Health Regulations Amendments ? the Government has 7 months in which to vote down what amounts to a huge WHO power grab. They have by November this year but bear in mind they’re on holiday for summer recess most of that time. If this is passed , expect the jab squads to come to our houses …..
There was a parliamentary debate yesterday afternoon , triggered by a petition with 100000 signatures: I’m looking forward to finding out how many MPS attended. Two, three, four?
In Dickens’ Little Dorrit, some poor people were having problems with their rent collector/building manager or similar (school and so detail were a long time ago) and thought that if they could get through to the owner of the building he would listen and act on their case. Eventually, they do get through to find he is the biggest shit of the lot.
The need to feel there is a good fairy at the top of the tree is a very human need. Realising there isn’t is a hard lesson and not one we really, truly learn. The Brexit vote was a belief we could choose a good fairy at the top our tree, that such a thing could still be possible. We couldn’t and it wasn’t.
SY Oh I was never under the illusion that things were otherwise than as you say; but theoretically the mechanism is there for the MP’s to resist this power grab. By fanfaring about it, I am ensuring that the MPs can’t say later that they knew nothing about it until it was a fait accompli. And ensuring that people know that they had the oppportunity to resist but didn’t bother. Even though we wouldn’t expect anything else from nearly all of them.
I guess the MPs and their families will be exempt from any restrictions or mandatory medical interventions anyway.
“I think there is a plot control everybody and especially their finances through these devices. You’ll know if my conspiracy theory is true when…”
Of course there is, Harry, and not just through our phones. But your selective foresight ever ceases to amaze me. You correctly recognise some conspiracy theories – in the sense that there is definitely a conspiracy against Western nations and civilisation in general, and this is no theory – and there are many tools being applied under one overarching umbrella agenda (CBDCs, digital ID, digital tracking, ubiquitous surveillance, diversity, migration, ruinous fiscal policies against all rationals, bogus pandemics, wall to wall fake news, war, engineered food shortages, engineered currency collapse, mandated ‘health’ policies which are anything but, the not so stealthy amalgamation of the main supra-national bodies into a One World Government ), but you will not see the greatest of all which is the anti-scientfic climate/energy (hence impoverishment and entrapment) scam that enables so many avenues of suppression and ruination.
It’s not smart phones that are the problem it is those people who vote for establishment parties that are the menace today. They are the facilitators of the all pervading, all encroaching big brother world we are getting deeper into.
Re smartphones I don’t think the author of this article would agree:
https://off-guardian.org/2023/03/29/why-you-should-destroy-your-smart-phone-now/
But people being as they are
Thanks for the link Mary. With respect, long before smart phones came into widespread use the nation comprised largely of sheep anyway. It just happens that they mostly carry smart phones nowadays. Some interesting comments to the article.
Jake……..if you haven’t already done so, you need to join a right of centre challenger party. Don’t delay, join now!!! I thought I would get that in before you said it……
A reasonably intelligent comment, and no mention of Wikipedia either. We’ the so called general alarm will not affect me as I have no Smartphone or any mobile phone for that matter. However will it affect computers? The only general alarm that we need is one about the damage being done to this country by the lunatics in charge courtesy of Sunak and Starmer.
