It’s definitely the silly season. A quick scan of the headlines in today’s papers show this perfectly. After having had a good giggle, I noted that there is one single thread which connects them all. According to the ‘experts’ called upon by MSM, we’re now living in an age where everything is ‘a crisis’, a ‘real crisis’, dontcha know. Don’t expect the MSM to connect the dots or ask inconvenient questions of those ‘experts’. That is simply not to be countenanced.

Before I delve into the ‘news’ from the NHS, newly sanctified by the Queen who decorated the whole lot – not just the frontline staff – by giving them the George Cross (here’s a non-paywalled report in case you hadn’t heard), let me summarise the latest inanities produced by experts and duly reported by the credulous MSM writers. 

Firstly, there’s the warning by the former head of MI6, that ‘abandoning Afghanistan’ would mean more terrorism from Al Quaeda. Let’s not quibble that times have changed and that the actual threat comes from ISIS – ‘experts’ know best and who could be more expert than the former head of MI6!

Clearly, it was totally unforeseeable that rehoming all troops, NATO, UK and especially US ones, might have consequences. President Biden has ordered this and there’s nothing the Pentagon or our military chiefs could do. Now look at what this former head of MI6 said next:

“Younger, [former head of MI6] who retired in September, also told [SKY] he was “very worried” Russia could exploit the crisis in Afghanistan to harm the UK and its allies.” (link, paywalled)

If my disbelief in the ‘wisdom of experts’ needed to be reinforced, this was it! Why would Russia ‘exploit’ this self-made ‘crisis’ in Afghanistan when they’d already burned their fingers in that place, to the extent that it led to the crashing down of the former Soviet empire? And why Russia – why not China? Would Peking not ‘exploit’ this crisis to ‘harm the UK and its allies’? How safe should we feel when even one of the ultimate experts, the former head of MI6, displays such glaring ignorance!

Staying with the military, other ‘experts’ have also been raising ‘concerns’. This time it’s about whales and dolphins:

“The Royal Navy has been accused of detonating explosives that make dolphins and whales go deaf despite having access to more environmentally friendly methods.” (link, paywalled)

Bad Royal Navy – bad bad bad! It doesn’t matter that their divers aren’t doing this for the sheer fun of it but because they’re disarming the mines and munitions still left behind by the Germans in WWII. It doesn’t matter that they are using new methods to reduce the sound of those under-water explosions.

Presumably this expert, Mr Danny Groves from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) charity, would prefer to leave all those dumped German bombs untouched unless the RN uses ‘less damaging methods of ordnance clearance’ (link, paywalled). But here’s the actual reason for the ‘expert wail’:

“As our allies in the fight against climate change, we should be looking to protect whales not destroy them,” he said.” (link, paywalled)

Now that the cold hands of the covid emperors are being slowly removed from their stranglehold on our necks, the next lot of ‘experts’ is already preparing for a new ‘empire’, their cold hands ready to replace those of the covid emperors. It’s the ‘green climate whatever’ ‘warriors’ flexing their muscles. After all, if ‘in the name of covid’ we were happy with the destruction of most of our lives, why would we resist if they now come for the rest of it!

Here’s another ‘expert’, demanding more money for a ‘crisis which is real’. It’s about extending the South Downs National Park. That’s lovely, who wouldn’t support this, even though they ‘only’ need “£100 million to develop land where plants and animals can flourish.” (link, paywalled) – ah, there’s nice! Who wouldn’t support extending that National Park, currently managing 25% of the South Downs. Why not cheerfully abandon another 32,000 acres of farmland to provide ‘a sanctuary for wildlife’.

We don’t need all that farmland to feed the nation, ever growing thanks to migrants. We can import food, can’t we – and never mind the huge CO2 footprint such imports would produce. Joint-up thinking in green climate circles? Are you ‘aving a larf or what! Listen to the expert instead:

“Andrew Lee, an ecologist who heads countryside policy and management at the park, said: “The biodiversity crisis is real and it’s happening before our eyes, but the good news is it’s not too late to turn the tide of wildlife loss.” (link, paywalled)

Gawd – “we” really need another ‘real’ crisis, proclaimed just in time for the coming ‘green Carrie policies’, to strangle us. Covid, still hanging around, wasn’t bad enough – now ‘experts’ are already lining up for the next ’crisis’ which will cost us more of our money. Yes, we’re being prepared for serfdom, serving NGOs and government-sanctioned ‘experts’ who can’t think further than the tip of their noses.

And so to the newly decorated ‘Sacred Cow’. Presumably the GPs who were generally AWOL and not to be seen will also receive this decoration. It gives a whole new meaning to the quip ‘they also serve who only stand and wait’ …

It’s not sufficient though: “the staff” wants a pay rise as well. Moreover – surely only coincidental! – there’s a report in The Times that many senior doctors plan to retire in the near future (link, paywalled). This is because more and more doctors and trainee doctors want to work part-time.

Here’s the president of the Royal College of Physicians – we’ve not heard much from that expert entity during the past covid months:

“A cultural shift towards flexible working means that the NHS must “find a way to make that happen” to retain staff, Andrew Goddard, the college’s president, said. He said that the health service was in a Catch-22 situation, in which current staff shortages meant that requests to go part-time were difficult to grant.” (link, paywalled)

After calling for more places for students to study medicine, students who in their majority plan to work part time only; after the usual ‘expert’ wail about the ageing population needing more doctors because of their ‘complex needs’ comes the customary demand for:

“more funding for social care and action to address health inequalities to reduce demand on the NHS. Two fifths of doctors were yet to revert to their original working pattern after the pandemic, the survey found. More than half worked from home at least some of the time. More than two thirds said working from home had improved their work-life balance.” (link, paywalled)

This expert and the reporters don’t even notice that they’re shamelessly calling for more money from us at the same time as telling us that they’re happy not to work, not to be there for us when we become ill. 

Do we need more proof that the newly decorated ‘sacred cow’ regards us patients as nuisance, disturbing their cosy set-up? Their lives would be so easy if there were no elderly with ‘complex needs’! Just look at the delta covid stats: according to the ONS ‘the infection rate for people aged 16-24 is 14 times that for the over 70s (link, paywalled) – but they’re not in hospital and thus make no extra work for NHS staff.

It’s all thanks to vaccination, see, and it must come as a huge relief to all the stressed, now decorated, NHS staff. Clearly, if the whole nation were ‘young’, all doctors could work part-time on nice salaries. So stop becoming old and don’t ever think of falling ill: you’re all needed to pay for the NHS!

One way or another the Westminster cabal will never release their stranglehold on us plebs. We must stay healthy, we must keep working to provide for all those experts, to avert all those ‘real crises’ and provide the dosh to keep those new feudal overlords in their cushy lives.

It’s time to warn the cabal to keep their sticky ‘expert’ fingers out of our wallets. After all, if we stop working, if we stop paying taxes – who’ll pay for their nonsense?

 

KBO!
