Flood damage looks the same regardless of national boundaries
It’s only two more days to the semi-freedom day on Monday. Will BJ take a last-minute decision to ‘follow the SAGEs’ and keep lockdown going? Given the hysterical news headlines in our MSM I’m now at the point where I say: ‘I believe it when I see it’.
Meanwhile our MSM demonstrate yet again that they’re incapable of proper reporting without ‘guidance’ from their Whitehall or Downing street ‘sources’ who have had nothing to say about the pingdemic. Perhaps they also suffer from pingitis?
Instead of lambasting the DHSC for their pigheaded attitude regarding the pingdemic the MSM simply pile up the data – data which aren’t verifiable. Are 500,000 suffering from pingitis or are there 900,000? Who knows!
The consequences of the incessant pinging are scary enough – over 5,000 personnel in the Armed Forces have been pinged, shelf stackers, NHS staff, Border Farce personnel … the list gets longer even though abattoir workers are allegedly going to be exempt. The DM writes:
“England could be economically paralysed within weeks without action to halt the Covid app ‘pingdemic’ forcing hundreds of thousands of workers to stay at home. Analysis by MailOnline suggests that in a worst-case scenario around six million adults could be in isolation by the end of the month.” (link)
Don’t expect the covid cabinet to do anything about this ping-scandal though! The Times reports:
“Changes were ruled out for another month with Dr Jenny Harries, head of NHS Test and Trace and Public Health England, saying they would have to wait until cases were falling.” (link, paywalled)
The new DHSC tsar is blithely brushing this under the carpet as well:
“The Health Secretary himself, Sajid Javid, has warned that cases may rise to 100,000 a day by next month – which would extrapolate to half-a-million people a day having to self-isolate.” (link)
Here’s the strange thing: nobody in the MSM has pointed out that the ‘cases’ which numbers the SAGEs expect to rise must surely have been vaccinated – so why do they test positive? Haven’t most of those pinged also received their jabs by now? It’s what the government have trumpeted from the rooftops, isn’t it! So: why? Do the jabs not work? Do the SAGEs disregard the problem of false +ve PCR tests which non-SAGE scientists have been warning about?
Is it in fact the case that the pingdemic is ‘lockdown through the backdoor’, as Professor David Paton writes for the DM (link)? We’ll see what happens on Monday.
There’s one non-covid event which has finally made it onto the front pages of our MSM: the horrendous flood catastrophe which has hit Germany and parts of Belgium. Over 100 people are dead, many more are missing and the photos of the damage caused by the flood waters are truly horrifying. Some are here in the DM report , some are in the paywalled articles in the DT (here) and The Times (here) where the editors had to show their wokeness by using a photo of a ‘non-white, diverse’ family sitting in a shelter in Belgium. Yes, “we” needed to know that!
Obviously, the usual suspects are already screaming ‘climate change!’, especially in Germany where the Green Party hopes to do really well in their autumn GE – that’s the election where Ms Merkel will finally leave office. Equally obviously is that our covid-obsessed politicians will use that outcry to accelerate their favourite green blobbery schemes.
It should also be as clear as mud that, thanks to covid – all those pinged self-isolationists – our dear government cannot possibly be asked if we are prepared for such flood catastrophes. We know that the Westminster denizens, the covid-obsessed MSM editors and the under-50 smartphone-addicts suffer from a severe,self-inflicted loss of memory. Their smartphones remember everything so they don’t need to, and for everything else there’s an app. So here’s a reminder of the big flood catastrophes which have hit our country:
Boscastle, August 2004 (link)
Cumbria 2009 and 2015 (link)
Somerset Levels 2013/14 (link)
Looking at those pictures it’s striking that the devastation caused by such huge volumes of water knows no nationality: the images are dreadfully similar, the suffering is the same. However, our governing classes deem us to be a hardy lot, used to local flooding on a near constant basis: it’s only local, after all, like the flash floods in London last week, so no need to bother.
Here as well as currently in Germany the usual suspects have blamed climate change for all of this and are demanding stricter measures. After all – going for net CO2 in ten years is certain to stop such floods now! Never mind China and India – if we give up our cars then we won’t get flooded, correct?
However, those are still not heard who’ve pointed out for years that these floods are man-made thanks to regulating rivers, sealing in more formerly greenbelt areas, building on flood plains and disregarding the sewer system overloaded by an increased number of people now living here. Let’s also not forget that the Somerset Levels floods were caused by ‘environmental’ measures created in Brussels and faithfully implemented here by Defra.
We’ve been lucky to be spared such weather events so far – events which hit us previously and which hit Germany now. How would our local and national services have coped under lockdown conditions! Worse: should something like that happen now – how will “we” cope with hundreds of thousands of people sitting in self-isolation thanks to pingitis?
Of course, nobody is asking if any flood defense schemes have been properly implemented in the last ten years – not that the absent, WFH civil serpents would be able to provide an answer! Not that the greenery-obsessed PM wold know anything about such mundane things! Not when a Times opinion writer seriously demands that BJ must ‘save us’ from our ‘sugar habit’ (link, paywalled) because we peasants are sadly not capable of feeding ourselves properly!
Speaking of nutrition – here’s the latest scare: the ‘winter vomiting bug’ norovirus is ‘making a comeback’, with cases already three times higher than ‘usual’ (link). The reason? The lifting of the lockdown restrictions! Yes, dear friends, we’re being prepared for more lockdowns to save us from any viral and bacterial infection – infections which are bound to rise because thanks to lockdown our immune system has been seriously damaged. Still, ‘experts’ are already demanding ‘more of the same’ – the insanity knows no bounds.
And finally: to no-one’s surprise we read that in the flooded areas in Germany the smartphone connections aren’t working. Should something similar happen here now, under covid conditions, chances are that the smartphone network in such areas would also stop working. Apologies for being facetious: that might be a blessing in disguise because the pingitis-causing NHS Apps would then also stop working.
KBO!
Re Vera Sharav: I strongly second that. Brilliant video. History really is repeating itself.
PS Addressed to Phil O Sophical but got detached
“in the flooded areas in Germany the smartphone connections aren’t working.”
As we all know from articles published on this web site, the so call corona virus is cause by cellphone towers and people have even been burning them down to stop the spread of the cellphone radiation. So if the flooding puts the towers out of action, we should see the levels of corona virus infections go down. You know it makes sense!!!
Here’s a bit of information which hasn’t made it into the German MSM: in those devastated flooded areas, quietly and without fanfare local farmers, local building contractors and those who have relevant machinery have organised themselves and have been helping the people. This started even before the government organisations like German Armed Forces, The German Technical Aid Corps and police and their helicopters from across the country have turned up.
Well, private people don’t have a PR machine … so unless others report this, people won’t know. I find this sign of private enterprise to help the devastated people hugely encouraging because why wouldn’t we do such thing should we need to do it here!
For one awful minute I thought I was going to read that the Germans would be asking for financial ‘aid’ for‘their flood damages!
As for the winter vomiting virus ….as you say Viv we have been shut away for so long that we have no resistance left to withstand any germ that floats our way!
Thanks Viv. I made my comment about dredging rivers in News Review before reading your much better account of reasons for flooding here in Betrayal.
Have you any more information about Gorbachev’s remark that EU was making same mistake(s) as USSR made? See my question on that in News Review re Tusk.
Also, there was a village threatened by the imminent total collapse of a damn. Upon which emergency services dumped hundreds of tons of stuff on the wrong side. No-one ever explained that ? From reports there was absolutely not the tiniest of evidence to indicate any possible reason for this apparently insane activity.. Then or since. ( I can conjur up a coupleof thingsthey couldhave been doing. But ? Emergency Services ?)
If you are referring to Toddbrook Dam collapse T.G. Spokes. The local emergency services were doing o.k.. The problems arose after some bureaucrat idiot called in some central body. I don’t remember the details now.
Could easily be.
Oh damn it, surely not a damn!!! In al seriousness though, has 617 Squadron been up to their old tricks again?
Excellent on pings and floods, as always. It all needs saying.
But I would like, if I may, to repost my comment from The Battle for the British Way of Life, because some may miss it there, and I think it may be the most revealing yet of what could be in store for us all if The Great Reset is not stopped. It needs spreading.
Most of the testimonies to Reiner Fuellmach’s Coronavirus enquiry are from scientists and medics across a broad range of expertise, and investigative journalists like Brian Gerrish of UK Column and Witney Webb (she is especially worth listening to – encyclopaedic knowledge of the cat’s cradle of the WEF and supranational bodies and private ‘philanthropists’; names, dates, money, she seamlessly links them all.)
But Vera Sharav, comes from a different background. This is deeply moving, and shocking I expect, for those who haven’t already let their mind go that far. It is 45mins, but riveting. Amazing lady.
If Dr David Martin’s dry factual, recitation of all the patents did not convince you that evil is afoot, perhaps this testimony, from personal lived experience, will.

Thing is, Whenever one hears of flooding in London , No one ever asks why the Tubes dont fill up first.
Why the Tubes don’t fill up first. Now that IS an interesting question.
TG Spokes…….that’s because the water does down the drain. Funnily enough though, the old British Rail tube line connecting Waterloo with Bank was called ‘The Drain’ so perhaps the water also went down there.
T.G.S. I think it is because most of the London Underground system was designed and built back in the days when you Engineers knew what you were doing. It was before the civil servants and committees took control.
