They’re coming for our kids …

 

If you wondered why there’s not a squeak coming from Labour – wonder no longer. They’re only following Napoleon’s advice not to interrupt the enemy when he’s making mistakes. And by gawd, the BJ government is doing that in spades. 

There’s an unholy trinity meeting at Chequers this weekend. It’s the three people who have more influence on our country than any other: BJ himself, Sunak the alleged BJ replacement and Javid who is himself diligently working at replacing BJ. They are going to talk about a ‘reform of social care’ which in effect means more money will be taken from all of us: via a rise in NI contributions and via the removal of that famous triple pension lock.

Of course, covid jabs are also on the menu. Why would Labour interfere in that mess? After all, fleecing the taxpayer to pay more for ‘social care’ is right down their street, and the insistence on jabbing kids to ‘make schools safe’ is only giving in to the powerful teachers unions. 

As we all know to our cost, once Whiitehall has convinced Downing Street that sadly more money is needed, that somehow we peasants must hand over more of our money, there’s no sane Minister, never mind a sane PM, who would dare to stand up to them. It’s no longer about the issues, it’s only about by how much they can fleece us.

The break of the triple lock has been gossiped about in the MSM thanks to ‘sources’ who told the various writers that such rise would cost a staggering (!) £3bn – now ‘levelled up to £5bn in a report in The Times (link, paywalled). Clearly, “we” cannot afford that, even though “we” can afford to pay £2.5bn so far for the incoming Afghan refugees and presumably all those illegal dinghy people. It’s always easy to make oneself look generous and caring by splashing around money taken from others. 

Sunak proposes to raise state pensions by 2.5% or inflation. Since the percentage of inflation is calculated in September which  then influences the state pension calculation, this means that over the coming 12 months pensioners will become more impoverished because inflation won’t stop increasing once the september nubemr is determined – far from it. But it will play well in the MSM because it means that ‘Teh Poor’, i.e. the young, can see that the horrible ‘rich’ oldies are being made to pay.

Then there’s ‘social care’. The first moans about that proposed rise in NI contributions are already in. In a comment in the DM we’re told that this NI rise is unfair to the young who’ll pay for something which doesn’t benefit them immediately. Still, perhaps they’ll refrain from boomer-bashing for a moment – BJ, Sunak and Javid only need to sell – sorry, spin – that contribution properly. They only need to emphasise that It’s going to benefit ‘our NHS’:

“The Mail can also reveal that the money raised will initially be used to clear the huge NHS waiting list built up during the pandemic – meaning that more cash may not flow into the struggling social care sector for another two years.” (link)

Ah well – let’s pay up, why not: nothing is too good for that sacred cow! And “we” have to pay Big Pharma for all those jabs to keep us safe from covid, don’t we! There’s the coming ‘booster’ jab for the elderly who’ve already had their two jabs – and there’s the latest campaign to jab all kids from age 12 upwards. Everybody is doing this, everywhere in the Western nations. It won’t stop there. German covid doctors are already looking forward to a covid jab coming next year which can be given to babies in their first year of life. 

Yesterday afternoon the DM reported on that ‘jab for kids’. It documents that Mr Javid is extremely adept at shirking responsibility, performing a delicate walk on a knife’s edge. On medical grounds the JCVI is not advocating jabbing our kids except if they have certain serious illnesses, telling the covid government to look at what other countries are doing, whereupon Javid told the DM:

“Along with health ministers across the four nations, I have today written to the Chief Medical Officers to ask that they consider the vaccination of 12 to 15 year olds from a broader perspective, as suggested by the JCVI. We will then consider the advice from the Chief Medical Officers, building on the advice from the JCVI, before making a decision shortly.’ (link)

Note how Javid is trying to wash his hands in innocence by delegating that decision to the SAGEs even though it’s clearly not going to be a decision made on medical grounds:

“The review will not consider any benefits adults may experience due to having children vaccinated, but will instead focus on areas outside the JCVI’s remit, such as lost education time due to Covid-related absences, either through sickness or being sent home from school.” (link)

In another report on this issue, published early this morning, we read that this is now going to be Whitty’s decision, and that :

“Many senior ministers strongly back the idea and believe Professor Whitty is in also favour and will look to enlist senior doctors to collect evidence of the effects of the Covid pandemic on children’s health to strengthen his case. It is hoped Prof Whitty will report next week and that vaccination rollout in schools can begin soon after secondary pupils go back, will requests for parental consent going out as soon as the green light is given.” (link)

Note that parents are apparently going to give their consent. One doesn’t need to be an Einstein to predict that parents will be under pressure: jab yer kid or it won’t be allowed to go to school as “Education unions warned that ‘time was pressing’ and lessons would be disrupted.” (link) – because teachers must be protected despite presumably having had two jabs already. Will those kids – ‘generation Jabbed’ – later blame the adults, their teachers, for any misery just as ‘the young’ now are blaming the old for not dying fast enough already and handing over their alleged ‘riches’?

Given that the time has been too short to look at benefits and side effects of those jabs especially in kids, it’s clear that SAGE and BJ are not even hiding behind ‘Teh Science’, for blatant political reasons, e.g. caving in to trade unions. That’s why nobody inside the Westminster covid bubble asks why the jabbed still need to wear masks, why ‘cases’ are still rising. Instead we’re being prepared for another winter lockdown, jabbed or not.

I leave you with the news that, once the jabberitis is running out of steam, Big Pharma will still rake it in. Reuters reported that finally, after all those months of covid, lockdowns and mass jabbings, Pfizer is starting clinical trials on a pill for those in the early stages of covid while Merck are trialling a drug to ‘prevent’ people in the same household as covid patients to catch covid (link). Clearly, they don’t believe that their jabs will keep people ‘covid-free’ – so for them it’s off to pastures new. Guess who’ll pay for those new, expensive drugs …

 

KBO!
