There are mornings when scanning the front pages of our national press is sufficient to drive one to despair. It’s as if we have a Propaganda Ministry which tells the papers’ editors what to write about. This morning it’s about ‘The Second Wave’ in Europe, which has arrived or will arrive or is arriving – according to Johnson. That piece of shock-horror ‘news’ is the background to justify the articles on testing and quarantining of holidaymakers. Tabloid readers are instead getting news about cops digging up an allotment in Germany, in the search for Madeleine McCann’s body. The Guardian however leads with an article about free school meals for all because that’ll help with the obesity campaign.
The advocates of testing and lockdowns are having a field day – in the articles as well as in the comments. If you were puzzled why so many of our compatriots are fine with being told to wear face nappies, then their comments below the relevant articles and reports show why: there is a deep puritanical streak in our nation’s DNA. Having fun is extremely suspicious and must be forbidden. Thus the blame for that ‘spike in Spain’ is placed on towns having opened their nightclubs. Underlying this is a gleeful attitude of ‘serves them right for going on holidays’.
Rather than questioning the validity of the case numbers used to demonstrate that ‘2nd wave’, never mind asking about numbers for hospital admissions and deaths, in general ‘Our MSM’ shamelessly use those case numbers without even noticing or mentioning how small they are. Ross Clark comments in the DT:
“In Spain, the subject of this week’s panic, the number of new cases started jolting upwards three weeks ago. Yet there is not the faintest sign yet of an increase in Covid deaths, which have fallen away to virtually nothing: three died last Thursday, the most recent day for which figures are available, compared with nearly a thousand on the worst days in April.“ (paywalled link)
Yep – that’s the ‘2nd wave’ and we’re all gonna die. But still: test we must, and Heathrow, driven by fear of economic collapse of the Great British Summer Getaway, has come up with a proposal:
“John Holland-Kaye told The Telegraph that Heathrow could have a test “up and running” in two weeks, meaning holidaymakers who have just set off for Spain could be checked – at a cost of £150 – when they arrived home.” (paywalled link)
The aim is to re-test them after a week or so, and then ‘release’ them into the wild if that test is negative. After all, France and Germany are already doing this, so surely “we” must follow suit? Let’s forget the previous disaster when PHE was incapable of collaborating with private test set-ups. Let’s do as France and Germany are doing and make Johnson take up this generous offer – only £150 per test when you return, that’s well worth it, and will be a nice little earner for Heathrow.
Meanwhile The Times indulges in a click-bait headline claiming that ‘smart tests’ could halve that 14-day quarantine. Reading the article, this ‘smart test’ turns out to be the old swab-test, but the procedure is meant to be ‘smart-er’! It’s again about that Heathrow test-on-arrival proposal:
“Collinson Group, a family-run medical assistance company, is in talks with Public Health England over a scheme in which passengers would be given an initial test before being released to a named address where their compulsory two-week quarantine would start. The result of that test would be received within seven hours and a negative result would free the traveller from the quarantine requirement.” (link, paywalled)
The Collinson Group are ‘in talks’ with PHE? Good luck with that! Meanwhile, that 14-day-quarantine requirement is supported … by a model:
“[…] researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) concluded yesterday that the present policy is keeping out 99 per cent of imported infections, whereas a single test on arrival, as used in some countries, would keep out only 50 per cent.” (link, paywalled)
I’m too stupid to understand how testing and quarantine is ‘keeping out’ those ‘imported infections’ – haven’t they just arrived at Heathrow, i.e. aren’t they ‘in’? Interestingly enough their paper isn’t ‘peer-reviewed’ as of yet, just as so many other models and papers aren’t – papers which ‘Our MSM’ keep reporting on to keep their fear & hysteria campaign afloat.
Never mind that it’ll be difficult to get the economy going when you demand that all who’ve tested positive with no sign of illness keep in personal lockdown for two weeks – we must ‘protect Our Sacred Cow’ and therefore it’s our duty not to become ill at all. Not only have GP surgeries now switched to a system of electronic triage where ‘the doctor will see you’ only via email or Skype before you’re allowed inside the surgeries – the reports from a few weeks ago, about a proposal to make A & E departments undergo a similar triage-by-phone will become reality this winter.
Its’ for our own good because it’s about cutting down that 4-hour waiting time. So call 111 first – there will be more people answering that line, promise! – and don’t worry if you’re becoming another guinea pig in yet another scheme to make us comply with diktats by ‘Our NHS’:
“A joint board meeting of NHS England and NHS Improvement was told that new emergency care standards designed to replace the four-hour waiting time target would also be in place before winter. The plans were described as a “profound change” by Lord Prior of Brampton, chairman of NHS England. Hospitals will be asked to adapt “rapidly” to the measures, which have yet to be finalised, and make improvements as they learn how they work in practice during autumn, board papers said.” (link, paywalled)
So if you have to have an accident, if you have to become ill – don’t do it during the autumn where ‘Our NHS’ will be learning how to implement this latest idea. May I also respectfully suggest that it’s perhaps not such a good idea to dust down your old bike and use it, as BoJo keeps telling us. You might be out of practice and fall off – and then what?
This ‘on yer bike’ thing is gathering momentum, and just as I suspected, it’s got green fingerprints all over it. It’s not just us who must get on our bikes. Read this and weep – or howl with laughter:
“The transport department is proposing to introduce compulsory “freight consolidation schemes” where all deliveries are made to out-of-town depots. The goods would then be transported to their final destination in the city centre by a “far smaller number of vehicles”, with a focus on environmentally friendly cargo bikes and electric-powered vans. Pilot schemes are being proposed in one or two small older cities with “narrow and crowded streets”.” (link, paywalled)
No, don’t ask where and how those ‘depots’ will be set up … Note though that this is not about us shedding weight, it’s about ‘air quality’ and about getting all cars off the roads because I am sure that those proposing this scheme have seen this report pre-publication:
“An analysis due to be published today by Friends of the Earth found 1,360 locations across England where the amount of toxic nitrogen dioxide in the air breached recommended levels.” (link, paywalled)
It’s the wet dream of the greens: get cars off the roads, now finally possible because we must ‘protect Our NHS’. Even though Johnson did say that fridges and stuff would need to be delivered by vans, he seems to believe that everything else can be done by ‘cargo bikes’. Good grief – has he never experienced a British autumn and winter? Does he seriously propose that online grocery stores should deliver by cargo bike?
Or is it actually about transforming the fleet of delivery vans into ‘e-vehicles’? Where is the electricity going to come from? And who will ultimately pay for this, through price increases? No need to answer!
The Times however is full-on in their praise for this scheme, counselling the government not to give in to all those bad motorists – but then, their writers and readers live in the metropolis, not out in the sticks:
“The government is right to make cycling proficiency courses available to all adults as well as children. Happily, retailers report that more women and children have taken to their bikes in recent months. Keeping them on two wheels will require ministers to prepare themselves for a backlash from motorists resentful of sharing spaces they have become accustomed to owning, and to hold their nerve. Wholesale behavioural change is never easy for governments to engineer. In this case, any political pain will be worth it.” (link, paywalled)
Will wimminz now take their kids to school on bikes, not in their SUVs? Even when it rains? Is Whitehall now run by idiots who aren’t even speaking to each other? ‘Joined-up thinking’ is totally lacking, it seems.
There’s anecdotal medical evidence about the long-term effects on mental health and proficiency affecting patients who’ve had a severe case of CV-19. That’s usually mentioned to make us afraid of catching the virus and therefore comply with government edict.
It pains me to mention this, but I do wonder if our PM isn’t one of those who’re suffering from such post-infection effect. If he isn’t I have to assume that the mother of his latest son has more influence on his policies than is permissible. I believe we didn’t actually elect her, did we!
KBO!
Well i just bought a baguette in Sainsburys and was bawled at by shop assistant for reusing my own bag,
i bawled back at shop assistant who did not have mush covering.
its at my risk quoth she…
how come not mine as she ran off for union rep / yooman rites adviser.
can ther e be another set of rules for shop workers, like for Sihk motorrcyclists wearing turbans instead of helmets ??
NO ! – no ! – no folks. ….. Lets keep Boris as PM, at least until the New Year. ….. As important as the pandemic is, with its bulldozer tactics to our economy, I believe Brexit is more important to this Nation’s future.
On this, Boris has nailed his trousers to the mast, and therefore can’t climb down now. – In his recent PMQs he reiterated the will of Brexiteers, and he has no room to pull a stunt of cooperation with the EU !
We have had Cameron, and then May, with their LOVE OF THE EU ! – Now at last we have this weird guy, spouting the words of Brexit on WTO terms. – Stick with him ! – IF HE GOES BACK ON HIS WORD, then we crucify him, and his Party. – Probably literally !
His day of reckoning is very soon now, and we should all be focused upon the New Year. – Keep your knives sharp, and lets hope we won’t need them ! ….. THE PANDEMIC is in the hands of the PM and his ‘Experts’; so we must see it as a Professional cock-up ! – ( Very British ) !
“…long-term effects on mental health and proficiency affecting patients who’ve had a severe case of CV-19…”.
Typical “there’s a squirrel” stuff. They get folks worried about that, when the real threat is from the lethal vaccine they’re determined to pump into us.
Personally I don’t believe BoJo really had a brush with death. It smacks of typical Tory con- trickery, to gain sympathy and make us think he’s in this together with us.
I’m actually convinced Boris is off his trolley. I’ve seen it happen before to people who have bimbled happily through life with no major illnesses lose all the sense of balance and self-confidence after their first major brush with the reality of life and death at a personal level.
Of course our ‘dear Leader’ isn’t suffering from any post infection effect. He still knows that electricity comes out of the walls. What further proof do we need?
Let’s not forget that Bumbling Boris spends his nights with an ardent environmentalist. We can probably expect more madness like the bicycle funding. He’s like a kid in a sweetie shop spending our hard earned taxes as fast as he can on hairbrained schemes. We used to call it pillow talk.
What was it Professor Knut Wittkowski said months ago? “Let’s forget the whole damn thing. I wish to God we could. The reason why Covid 19 deaths are not rising in Spain or anywhere else in the world, don’t listen to China or the discredited WHO; is because the virus is mild. It only kills the very elderly who suffer underlying health problems or a minority of younger people who are also very ill. The majority of the population are either immune, via herd immunity, asymptomatic or have nasty cold symptoms and quickly recover. Why the Tory Government is keeping this ridiculous nonsense going is a matter of speculation and deep suspicion. The fact they have compounded their folly with mandatory face mask wearing is proof of their utter incompetence, fear of being unmasked themselves or conspiracy to please deep state actors. As so many world Governments are reacting in unison, despite there being clear proof that the virus is not the deadly threat it was first stated to be makes, one very suspicious indeed.
Yep. We’re all going to get it. Most will never notice . A tiny number will suffer, and almost no-one will die until it will become just another ” Complication”., or ” Flue ” . There will be less deaths than traffic. Then ?
( But then ? This can be used. How ? First, Played cleverly, this can be used to smash the wests economies. Why ? They ‘re in our way. ).
Back to work you lot. Leave us oldies to suffer as usual. And for Gods sake sort out the unions first. Make them useful not infantile
Actually the economy has already gone. It’s too late.. But no-one has noticed. The unions are now the KEY. Luckily they are not in bad shape, but stupid. UKIP needs to jettison its incredibly useless Conservative networkers, And try to find those with sanity and brains.Otherwise the usual left will occupy the No mans land. There are useful people in UKIP but not when they’re echoing in an ‘executive committee ‘ .
Thanks Viv – The bit about ‘wholesale behavioral change’ and ‘governments engineering it’ – caught my eye.
” I do wonder if our PM isn’t one of those who’re suffering from such post-infection effect. If he isn’t I have to assume that the mother of his latest son has more influence on his policies than is permissible. I believe we didn’t actually elect her, did we!”
No, Viv, we didn’t
It seems that if our PM decides to install his paramour and her brat in No.10 we must accept it as the “New Normal”… Down is Up. Dark is Light, Evil is Good.
For certain I now question his judgement in everything else.
This Government cannot even be consistent in their lies.
They shamelessly use the MSM to promote fear and hysteria in the population, forgetting that the same MSM will cheerfully stab them in the back tomorrow if it sells papers.
We are to believe that Covid-19 is an obedient virus. The “second wave” will not arrive for a week/fortnight,or whenever Boris (advised by one of his pet modellers) decides it will be politically advantageous.
The idea that I must make an appointment well in advance to fall ill, or have an accident,is ludicrous…. But that is what we are being “brainwashed” into acceping as the norm.
I know I’m old… and old-fashioned… I try very hard not to be bitter and judgemental, but what I see happening to our Nation disturbs me profoundly.
It’ll be ”advantageous” to those beavering away to produce a vaccine. These are delaying tactics. It’s not BJ’s ”fault”, or his decision, unless you can blame someone who is a useful idiot.
What utter undiluted rubbish! (Hate to remind you – but I have repeatedly referred to Bumbling, Billy Bunter Boris with complete derision since his catastrophic acquisition of the Premiership – he is a selfish, prattling ‘Classically Informed’ DOLT!
Who simply has lost posession of his ability to zip up his trews……..if he ever did or does.
Meanwhile – in the land of The Dragon and its Colonies, coal mining continues UNABATED….Xi is, although one could never discern it from his ‘inscrutable visage’ laughing all the way to the next item on his fifty-year plan.
Meanwhile back at the ranch.,………America is tearing itself apart by allowing black and associated gangsters, thieves, rapists, arsonists, petty crooks and serial fornicators to dictate to their ‘local Governments’ plans for the THEIR Great New Utopian America…..minus whites, of course.
It seems few on these pages, or indeed throughout the world, have heard of Liberia? Ah well, I have no intention of trying to educate you lot, nor indeed the rest of the world on the sort of ‘society’ blacks organise when given free-rein to arrange their own Black/African/Enlightened Country.
Yeah, you’ve guessed it…………..another hell-hole – which these mobsters and miscreants avoid referring to – like they do their ‘bastard offspring’.
The British Empire………..? “……. and oft when on my couch I lie, in vacant or in pensive mood”………I clutch to my breast my myriad Kipling books and writings….and wallow in his humorous stories of those halcyon days…………..when we ran two thirds of the world.
By the way, I suppose you do know that they are still only about 3% of the population………..although, you wouldn’t think so.
Just have a listen to this from Jeff Taylor. COVID-19 madness.
“UK economy is set for divisive K-shaped recovery! (4k)”
https://youtu.be/IJ1-6P5OEWE
Good choice. He always makes sound common sense.
However it is my belief that it is actually Y shaped, with thr bottom leg of the K, being part of the Y downstroke. Numbers will appear in several months time. Quarterly I suppose.
Any spare money should have been spent on either TAX reduction, or a wholesale examination of subserviant EU regulations, or a select committee on Union reform. The world is now a different place, and its not returnable. So I guess that buying the Civil Service is a reasonable first move for a politician.
Oh! and I forgot to mention there is room for “self interpretation” of the rules of law – which I think was explained when it was pointed out after the war that Germans shouldn’t have obeyed nasty SS orders against humanity
Thank you Mike Newland for the opportunity to hear an absorbing conversation.
Unfortunately I am a complete layman, but as it went on and moved on from Covid 19, there were one or two wider observations regarding the messianic appearance of the law and the view there can be bad democracy and bad judging and also some trenchant thoughts about Human Rights Lawyers who have nasty habits of “extrapolation” – I’d call it gilding the lily as well as Lord Sumptions term of “mission creep”
I was also disappointed a little that in regard to the imposition of lockdown law there was no exploration of the wider concept of the introduction of “Global Control” possibly in the guise of adherence to the postulations of the WHO who I understand are possibly in the pay of and certainly under the influence of a certain Eastern country.
They also didn’t appear to explore Brexit and the perfidity of our Conspiritorial Remainists who conspired t o delay Brexit at. Enormous cost to the nation,never mind the frustration of the will and instruction of the people.
What?? we’ll have to ring A&E for an appointment? That’ll be fun, someone bleeding to death with their arm chopped off, and a receptionist asking “well, is it really urgent?”.
Lord Sumption essential viewing
Well done Boris, rock solid proposals to improve our society. However may I just raise a point or two in mild criticism? You just don’t go far enough.
Electric vans? Have you never heard of rickshaws and oxen powered carts? Even these have their drawbacks, relying on that other evil invention, the wheel. Much better to drag the stuff on sleds, and not by animals that would be cruel. The ancients had a way of utilising manpower for that, but apparently that’s frowned upon these days too.
The food delivery by bike, great, but you will only be able to get frozen stuff in deep mid winter, when everything else will be frozen too, including the delivery rider. Two hour delivery slot, depot 3 -5 miles away, possibly up to 50kg per load, I’m sure you have done the calculations
Bulk transport under electric catenary lines, a brave new initiative to get stuff off the railways, great idea.
Probably the best aspect of it all is that I don’t have to visit any third world countries, it’s all coming here, so no need for dangerous air travel, when pandemics are just about over, but ok when pandemics are at their height. Having to wait for another pandemic to reach it’s peak before travelling is likely to play havoc with my holiday plans.
On reflection, although Boris has come up with all these wonderful initiatives and he has pledged to return sovereignty, I just don’t see much difference between him and that nice Mr Starmer otherwise, so another layer of fear has been lifted, in that I can freely vote for an alternative to both.
Who is ???
Even more reason for Nigel Farage and Richard Tice to get the Brexit Party out of its self imposed hibernation, get a proper manifesto of policies in place and put a whole raft of candidates up at the 2021 local elections. Our present crop of useless politicians (Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Greens) need to be swept from power, and preferably on a permanent basis. It is the only thing they understand. No votes equals no councilors……….
I typed in brexit party and the site appears to have been stolen. Still as i get it Farage has registered Reform Party.
Well, I am not sure whether he has in fact yet registered what is/was The Brexit Party to The Reform Party. Only last week I was on the Electoral Commission website which lists all applications to register new parties and renaming existing parties and the results of those applications, and indeed whilst I saw an entry to register The Brexit Party in September 2019 I think it was which was approved, I did not see any subsequent applications to rename that party. Registering a new party with the Electoral Commission is not a piece of cake, and the application can be rejected for a myriad of reasons, to numerous to mention.
The ‘Right’ as described by the media are simply a disparate group of bickering idealists who will seemingly forever be in a self-imposed Limbo – from which there is no escape unless and until they decide to organise against the ‘Middle and the Left’ in a concerted Union of ‘The Right’.
If this daily Pantomime wasn’t so pointless it would be hilarious.
I suppose the greater question is……WHO is there who could and would be able and willing to unite this potentially powerful group?
Is there such a person?
Just don’t look to the current ‘team’ in UKIP to fulfil that dream……..sadly they are well and truly a spent force.
Blame who you will…….that is just a another pointless exercise.
Dare I suggest that a truce be called and nominated representatives of ALL Right leaning groups convene a meeting to produce a meaningful amalgamation so as to counter the Tory and Labour Axis……A pipe-dream?
Unless something based on this idea comes to fruition we are eternally condemned to remain in the hands of those who in Parliament performed with abject cowardice during and around the Theresa May Fiasco.
Truly a ship of Fools.
As a consequence of that period of sheer madness we have ended up with the most ineffectual, immature and hopeless PM in our history, by the name of Cummings.
Not sure about your last paragraph but fully concur with the rest, a spot on comment.
I suspect that if you removed the NEC from UKIP, an actual leader might appear. Or of course descend into barbarity or But even that might be decisive. Anyway, there are several better courses of action than descending into barbarity. Some better than others but all seemingly invisible.
I am reminded of ” There is no cause so noble it doesn’t attract Fuggheads”
Yes, of course Colin…..you are quite right, but as I have said in a previous post, the ‘Right’ must get together as ONE FORCE.
Pussyfooting around with minor distracting immature and childish arguments simply lends power to the established Parties
Settle any differences we may have. Agree on ONE leader if only to secure the maximum vote……and who knows where we could end up………..? We desperately need a Unifying Campaign bringing all the ‘Right Wing’ factions together…..a coalition of like minded people who simply firstly want to break the ‘Establishment’, once and for all – then perhaps a structure can be established to form a ‘Right Alliance’?
I appreciate your sentiments here, but there are many shades of the political right, namely centre right, right of centre, right wing and far right. Indeed they may all have one or two policies in common, but as a general rule all these parties in existence right now and those who are in the midst of being formed are like chalk and cheese. There would never be any agreement on policies let alone a common leader. As I have said before the whole point to a political party whether you are on the right, centre or left, is to gain representation on Borough Councils, County Councils and in Parliament, and if a supposed political political party isn’t doing that, then it is an utter waste of time and energy of all concerned. The British public will never elect extremists whether they be far right of far left, so there would be absolutely no point in having an amalgamation of parties proposing far right policies because they would gain no traction with the electorate. The ideal solution to this would be a party led by Nigel Farage, but which had a membership as opposed to registered supporters, with a proper grassroots set up in the form of constituency associations, where those members have full voting rights and input in forming a manifesto of policies.
Colin ,
Have you considered giving ukip back to Nigel, Kurten,Etheringten, even AMW and TR , ,Evans, et al;,, NC ( without the E ) but with amended constitution, and actually using instead of destroying your assets.. Just as starters.?
Incidentally, have you seen Freddies list of ambitions.
Colin….THAT is precisely what I am talking about!
None of those you have mentioned have the remotest chance of gaining any appreciable power.
This is why they MUST set aside their differences just so long as we break the Tory/Lab unwritten Pact. We are acting like kids in a playground, not political animals……which we MUST become if we are to break that Moldova.
Set aside ALL sub-arguments, stick to the target and the challenge.
OK, many, indeed all, will need to eat a little piece of humble-pie. SO WHAT?
Unless we make this concerted effort we are totally useless to British politics…….useless.
Together we CAN make a difference……divided, WE FALL.
Agreed, but this time on a permanent basis. No more tactical withdrawals to facilitate some other party into power, no hibernations, just building up a constant threat.
Jim R, couldn’t agree more, you are right 100%. The Brexit Party has lost momentum by going into hibernation. A lot of good people have now fallen by the wayside as a result. It should have stayed out in the open and developed as a party. However it in unlikely to have made an impression at the last general election, because there was no organised grassroot activist base in existence to do the donkey work of delivering leaflets, canvassing and getting the vote out. This cannot be done from the centre by a few people.
Er . . . Yes Jim R.
Now what was that recommendation about protest voting?
Well Pauline, I’m not interested in protest voting although I have indulged in the past (I actually thought my vote in 2016 was just that but we won)
BoJo is still talking the talk on Brexit but I am waiting for the betrayal and until then I will support him, sort of. If he delivers a true Brexit then this may continue depending on what else he does or doesn’t.
There is so much needing done to repair this country I realise that it will take (a lot of) time but he has gone off on all sorts of directions, some backwards, that I don’t see him as the man for the future. Brexit first then we will see.
Deaths below average for five weeks but the Top Conman working up a new panic. No doubt now the policy is to destroy the economy. Went in Wetherspoons fairly normal apart from being asked to put stuff on hands plus over zealous security roaming round peering at customers. Not too enjoyable. Not many customers. Used to be rammed. Not sure I want to revisit like that.
Mike, I went into my local Wetherspoons last week for a pint and stood in the queue to be served. Whilst waiting I counted 26 customers within the premises whereas normally there would five times this number, so someone, something, the media has frightened off the masses. The person in front of me was ordering pints of water not ale, not lager, not wine, not soft drinks, not packets of crisps or packets of peanuts, but ordinary bog standard tap water which did cost the so called customer anything, and which was topped up with ice cubes. Then the daft bar person behind the bar rather serving me, the first in line, instead served someone behind me. Unbelievable, you couldn’t make it up, and so much for not crowding the bar area and standing in line, and when I did get served, pumped up the wrong ale because they were too busy talking to other staff filling shelves or dealing with drinks ordered by App. Until this present Covid 19 inspired insanity ceases I will not return. Some chance of that happening any time soon with Billy Smarts Circus firmly embedded within 10, Downing Street……..
What about the long-term effects on mental health and proficiency affecting people frightened out of their wits unnecessarily by government and MSM propaganda, and subjected to an pointless lockdown?
Went in a café yesterday and the masked server recoiled in horror, woah woah where’s your mask? he said. Really would he have done that last Thursday?! I said I’m exempt and he went from Begone foul leper! to Sir this and Sir that. I have a sick feeling of dread in my stomach most days now. The crazy is far more endemic than the virus.
@MWT. You dont need a mask in a caff or pub.
You should have walked out straight away, as he obviously didn’t deserve your custom, or anybody else’ for that matter. We the defenders of our hard fought for civil liberties and freedoms are going to have to stand up against this creeping cultural marxism that is seeping slow but surely into our society and it has to be said encouraged by the fake conservative government that we have in power at present.
I know how Viv feels about the Ministry of Truth that has become the mainstream media. I felt exactly the same way after reading the UK press today, I have never read such a lot of complete b*ll*cks in my life.
@flyer. stop buying it. stop clicking on their webbies, stop watching TV, cancel your licence. Kill their revenue stream.
Righto!!
Alexandr……absolutely right!
The damage they and Fatso have done to the most vulnerable in our society, the very elderly and young children is appalling and deserves a reckoning. Frightening the wits literally out of the former and damaging the socialization and development of the latter is ongoing and sheer evil. I hope the MSM go bust and the Government get dragged from office. Perhaps a businessman who has lost everything, a terminal cancer patient left untreated, a Covidophobe driven to insanity, a hiusband who couldn’t be with his dying wife etc. will go even further…
NOX comes not just from engines but also from agriculture.
To reduce NOX and CO2 and particulate pollution in cities, convert all HGV/buses etc to run on compressed natural gas. To improve the balance of payments, frack for UK gas. Bribe anti-frackers with a ruling that all dwellings within 5 miles of a frack site should receive free gas/cash equivalent for five years, then see how the shipped-in protesters fare.
JF
Interesting JF. Definately agree re fracking. The more we can produce our own energy the better. Could we really run HGV’s and buses on natural gas? Sounds much better than electricity which we will be short of.
Looks like the PTB are using books such as “1984” and “Brave New World” as instruction manuals. It will not end well.
It certainly does look that way Jack T.
