Cancel your TV licence – save the money

Nigel Farage has opened a new front against the main stream media – it is the viewing measuring mechanism called BARB – which apparently is funded by the Main Stream Media so ‘marks its own homework ‘. I am sure BBCOFCOM will do its’ best to suppress investigation of BARB …well done to GBNewx for winning TV awards – voted for by viewers ….

    Another minute, another strange email about changing stuff.

    No link as far as I can see, but https://twitter.com/TheDocSociety sent me a newsletter.

    *** EDIT

    What does democracy look like?

    Friends, today we are announcing the launch of The Democracy Story Unit.

    You know the score.

    The last few years have seen the crumbling of the post-war consensus: long held democratic norms have been challenged; the citizenry is polarising into mutually exclusive info and opinion spheres; the democracies once seen as the most stable have experienced unprecedented events such as the attempt to unlawfully suspend the British Parliament and the attack on the US Capitol. The number of DINOs (Democracy In Name Only) proliferates, with Hungary and now India joining Russia, Iran, and Nicaragua. And in countries where fair elections still happen, some populations seem ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

    The future of democracy is up for grabs.

    So it’s time to roll up our sleeves, spread our roots, plant new seeds. We are eager to find the paths not taken or long forgotten, and those being laid right now by communities all over the planet. We are burrowing into the stories of contemporary People’s Assemblies and new digital political participation models, as well as well-worn, power-sharing practices, learning from indigenous governance systems and other forms of democratic reimagining.

    Our societies need change; they need new ideas, new perspectives, new analysis and new visions of the future, and who better to continue amplifying these stories than our community of independent storytellers?

    That’s why we’re building on our Climate Story Unit and launching The Democracy Story Unit. That’s right. A brand new initiative at Doc Society dedicated to democracy narrative strategy.

    ***

    I see words redefining ‘democracy’, or ‘unit’ or ‘citizen’s assemblies’ all my antennae start to twitch.

    They are an NFP, but that lis often code for activists paid a fortune to play using nice toys in fun places.

    I wonder, by whom? And who runs their stuff?

    As with the Green Party or BBc eco editors, they seem to have very few actual interested engagements.

    More and more and more legislation. More and more and more local committees. More and more and more local groups formed to counter more and more and more legislation and committees.
    Legislation crazy. Needing more and more and more money. Where’s that coming from? …………………No prize there.

    The final chapter in the story of the Fall of the Roman Empire went this same way (inter alia).

    I cite the 1925 Law of Property Act as the last Act of Parliament which was well written and understandable by many including non-lawyers. Since then, sloppiness abounds, in every respect. And I’ve personally taken a hand in wording legislation to put so-called, ‘Parliamentary Counsel’ right so have personally seen how, apparently, ‘it all works’. (or not). All a big joke with little or no idea of cost and consequences.

      Having *had to read* several Acts of Parliament over the last decade – I am unimpressed…

      Some of the moribund, redundant ineffectual rubbish I’ve read has been simply amazing.

      Laws are nothing if they aren’t enforced and I’ve seen legislation which prescribes a menu of misdeeds deserving of sanction and then simply does not elaborate any schedule of punishments for said misdeeds.

      I’ve spent what feels like endless hours over a decade looking to see if there’s any legal basis for The Civil Servant’s Code of Conduct and if criminal law can be applied – since the Sir Humphreys have been careful to emasculate any laws that apply to them…

        Unwritten? That would surely come under the transient heading of, “Convention” along with our so-called, “Unwritten Constitution”. The latter being of itself a “Convention” cover to simply make it up as you go along.

        The sooner the better a system of voting for the public to agree to sums of money being spent by profligate Governments on X or Y hairbrain projects the quicker the voter will take control. And that’s now very long overdue.

      Bearing in mind that Parliament is stuffed with Lawyers, the quality of legislation in recent years has been very poor and I agree there’s far too much of it. Quite a few Acts have had to be amended due to unintended consequences and loopholes.
      I can cite as an example the Bliar Government Act that created the new version of High Court Enforcement, The Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.
      Due to the fact that High Court Enforcement officers
      were basically ripping people off, the legislation had to be amended some years later.

    “Bornstein said solutions journalism is not “good news. It’s rigorous reporting that is examining how people are responding to problems.”

    ****

    On the face of it, fine. But like all BBC TNI stuff it is easily corrupted. The BBc certainly does by carefully selecting who is associated with a story to ensure these third parties steer things with a degree of separation the way required.

    Hence it becomes propaganda, not journalism.

    Vaccine shedding. Sorry about the length. Lifted from UK Column Community blog

    Who knows about the 1P36 gene?

    Who knows about unvaxed pregnant women spontaneously miscarrying after exposure to the vaxed?

    Who knows about the plummeting birth rate in most areas of the world?

    https://www.unfpa.org/data/world-population-dashboard

    Who knows about the decline in reproductive health, especially in first world nations?

    Vaccine shedding is a known phenomenon and was even covered in the court-ordered Pfizer document release. But for how long is it of concern?

    Given the recent discovery of the proposed Biden Whitehouse 2023 budget to explicitly continue funding nanotechnology in medical therapies ie the CV-19 jab, it also now seems irrefutable that the jabs contain nanotech. Are these nanobots then also to be found in shedding, and if so for how long after jabbing? If, as seems to be the case, that theyre self-replicating and self-assembling, will it ever stop? Can they exist outside a host?

    https://anamihalceamdphd.substack.com/p/prospective-difference-between-…

    If the covid hoax was merely a pretext to get the real depop weapon into people, given that they were never going to be able to get everyone jabbed what secondary mechanism is in play? Is this it?

    NB Most of the first 10 mins looks to be a hoax or a game intro but the later part about light activation of a GM payload within an adenovirus, is a lot more interesting and IMHO is worth a closer look

    My VPN was connected to a UK server originally, but I was getting a “banned in you country” notice, so |I thought that this was likely to be good.

    Did you get the title of this thread “The right way around”?

    This sounds a little bit ‘out there’. But it has elements of things that we have heard before; Marburg, 18 GHz pulse, zombie apocalypse (Kill Gates saying that “the next one will get people’s attention”.)

    I’ll have to spend a bit of time thinking about some of the things that were talked about in this, as opposed to doing it half-awake in the middle of the night.

    Thanks!

    If shedding is a ‘thing’, why has it never been raised or discussed before the covid vaxxing programme? Surely if there is a scientific basis to shedding, it would apply to previous vax programmes and the unvaxxed would have been at similar risk, albeit on much smaller scales?

    I’m more inclined to think that the concept of shedding is part of a psychological tactic; divide and conquer, keep the fear factor going.

    You may remember me as JC; the new forum has changed me to CJ.

    The sentiment remains the same.

    Keep calm and disobey.

    I think the key point is that the jabs are experimental “new” tech and dangers unknown. Vax shedding has been known to occur in the past but that was with the old technology of injecting an antigen, not genetic code that turn you into a toxic protein factory lipid nanotecg (both suspected harmful). There is lots of anecdotal evidence suggesting unjabbed have felt ill around recently jabbed but obviously funded research on this won’t be done or at least not widely published. I’m think one of the doctors hosted on infowars showed microscopic changes to blood in unjabbed who had had close contact with unjabbed (i think sexual contact).

    I do think however though that it seems jabbing you multiple times though is needed for whatever reason as seen in the incessant booster push.

    its certainly something I cannot discount as a conspiracy theory, from a personal point of view I stopped meeting up in my mates “Man cave” for illicit beer drinking as they were all Jabbed I I felt constantly unwell ,sore throat the next day after being in close contact with them.

    I think that there has been a bio weapon type constituent in these Jabs, so whatever we think we know about them, is maybe a mere tip of a much bigger Iceberg, think DARPA and all the dodgy stuff they are involved in that is also linked to the so called Vaccines.

    Its a cull thats for sure, I know that from all the funerals I am attending recently 4 people I know simply dropped dead in may none of the 4 were previously unwell, carried excess weight or had any co morbidities

    Most people don’t really want the truth.

    They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

    Shedding is not a thing
    Millions have been poisoned
    There was a reason for this action
    You won’t like it
    So you won’t look at what is obvious
    Stupid is as stupid does and fear is for the fearful.

    I do agree that ‘natural’ shedding is a complete fallacy. However, we are dealing with something that is completely synthetic and I think that it would be remiss of anybody to state that something could not be engineered that would create similar effects to the alleged ‘shedding’ nonsense.

    As promised here’s my little essay; (confession time, I haven’t watched the video)

    Are the vaxxed a danger to the unvaxxed? IMO yes, but only in a couple of ways, first in an existential way, that is to say most are entrenched in their view that they were right to comply & those of us who didn’t comply are dangerous subversives who, come the next pandemic must be put into internment camps.
    Yeah, I know I’m been a trifle melodramatic but……..🤔
    Second, are some of them psychologically damaged? Definitely, should people with psychological problems drive cars? As a lifelong cyclist/biker I say NO! And yes, in the last two & a bit years I’ve noticed cagers (BTW that’s a bikers derogatory term for car drivers) driving more aggressively.
    Has any one the time/inclination to do a FOIA on RTA’s since the roll out of the experimental EUA chemical concoction?

    Yes, all “vaccines” are poisonous, but only to those who were injected, does the body eject poisons? Of course, but those who are around the “vaxxed” while the “vaxxed” are ejecting (I hate the word “shedding”) these poisons are not at risk, think what happens when you’re peeling onions or get a lungful of smoke, you cough & your eyes run…our bodies have natural defenses…which BTW, are bypassed by the needle……….

    (the following is from a previous post of mine)

    ………….the phycological aspect however is a whole different kettle of fish.

    This from the link below;
    “Fear* arises when sensory systems have determined an external threat. Threat detection circuits trigger a general increase in brain arousal and can result in anxiety disorders.
    The effects of fear* on physical health include headaches turning into migraines, muscle aches turning into fibromyalgia, body aches turning into chronic pain, and difficulty breathing turning into asthma.”

When l went to the podium after being introduced I started by saying the following. “ Two social workers are walking down the street and happen upon a man lying on the ground clearly having been beaten very badly. He was bruised and bloodied and moaning. The social workers turned to each other as they stepped over him and one said to the other, “ Whoever did this to him really needs some help “ .

            If there is absolutely no truth in the accusation, he should call her a liar and invite her to sue.

            Unfortunately, the language he uses suggests that something did happen. Probably something that was regarded as trivial by both sexes up until recent times but also something that can now be used by politically-motivated scumbags to bring down politicians they don’t like.

            In the future if you’re going out with a bird, body worn video may be a necessity to protect yourself against false accusations in later life.

      “U.K. Media Regulator Investigating BBC Coverage of Oxford Street Antisemitism Incident

      A spokesperson for Ofcom said: “We have reviewed the BBC’s final response to complaints about this news programme. We consider it raises issues under our due accuracy rules and have launched an investigation.”

      The BBC has apologized over its coverage of an antisemitic hate incident in central London following an internal investigation.

      The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) investigated both a BBC website article and a broadcast report that critics said “victim-blamed” a bus full of Jewish students who were abused on London’s Oxford Street shopping district while celebrating Hanukkah.”

    “Nicki Minaj praises Chicago boy, 14, who was ordered by mom to SHOOT man dead after he beat her up at hot dog stand as a ‘true hero’ and offers to pay for his college”

    Carlishia Hood, 35, had been accused of getting her son, 14, to shoot dead Jeremy Brown, 32, on June 18.

    Charges against the two were ditched after Cooks County State Attorney Kim Foxx announced her office had backtracked on the charges.

    Posting on Instagram, Minaj said: ‘That 14 year old boy that backed dat hammer out when that grown ass man was punching his mother in the face as if she were a man is a true hero.

    ‘If he wants to go to college, I’d love to help. It’s what any son should’ve done for their mother.’

    Minaj, whose husband is a convicted sex offender, continued: ‘She raised a dope kid and should be so proud. Also, God knew before she knew that she’d be attacked that day and made sure they had protection on deck. God is GOOD.’

      Other owners include the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the Kuwait Investment Authority and the China Investment Corporation. The three of them are definitely in it for the money. Before the current owners, it was owned by German utility company RWE, also in it for the money. They sold it to Kemble Water Holdings Ltd, a consortium put together by Australia’s Macquarie Group, a financial services group. They are also in it for the money, and transferred £2 billion of debt to Thames Water.

      A lot of people, regardless of political viewpoint, feel deeply uncomfortable about the foreign ownership of water companies, and that profits are being taken out at the expense of under-investment and high prices for British consumers.

      I did a calculation for Mensa, calibrating carbon dioxide warming using molar mass, as proved by Venus, which has a quarter of a million times more carbon dioxide that the Earth.

      So my question was: In calibrating Carbon Dioxide Warming using NASA data and the proven method, how much does Carbon Dioxide contribute to the Greenhouse effect on Earth. The Answer is this: Nitrogen is the main Greenhouse gas at 100.6 Kelvin and Oxygen imparts 30.3 Kelvin. Argon is third accounting for 1.7 Kelvin, and Water vapour is fourth accounting for 0.3 Kelvin. Carbon Dioxide only produces 0.0532 Kelvin by molar mass. But then isotopic evidence says that only a maximum of four percent of CO2 in the Atmosphere could be man-made or volcanic, that’s 10ppm for Volcanic and 6ppm for Man-made CO2, so therefore in two hundred years, man-made CO2 has contributed only 0.000798 Kelvin to Global Warming. So if Britain is responsible for 1.1 percent of the 0.0008 Kelvin. Then Britain has contributed 0.0000088 Kelvin to Global Warming.

      However according to this calculation which shows that a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration from 280ppm to 560ppm will cause an undetectable global warming of 0.004 Kelvin. This is 0.004 Kelvin for 280ppm, while my much more simpler calculation is 0.0532 for 400ppm or 0.03724 Kelvin for 280ppm. Ten times more warming than this more complex caculation: https://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2022/05/02/ned-nikolov-karl-zeller-exact-calculations-of-climate-sensitivities-reveal-the-true-cause-of-recent-warming/

      However this ignores atmospheric loss to space which is running at 100,000 tons a year.

    Some stuff above about the Green party.

    I have said before but have no shame repeating, drawing attention to some disturbing aspects of their manifesto:

    Principles

    MG100 The Green Party wants to see a world without borders, until this happens the Green Party will implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration where people can move if they wish to do so.

    MG101 The Green Party believes that migration is not a criminal offence under any circumstances.

    MG500 For the purposes of this policy, visa residents are defined as migrants who have a non-visitor visa, do not have settled status and are not British citizens.

    MG501 All visa residents will have the right to vote in all elections and referendums.

    MG502 Access to the NHS will be free and comprehensive for all visa residents.

    MG503 Any No Recourse to Public Funds conditions will be abolished and visa residents will have access to welfare benefits or Universal Basic Income.

    MG103 The Green Party is opposed to forced migration and forced repatriation unless standard exclusions apply.

    Objectives

    MG200 The Green Party seeks to establish a system that recognises that all migrants are treated as citizens in waiting and therefore supports and encourages them to put down roots in their new home.

    MG201 The Green Party accepts we all have a collective responsibility for the climate emergency and that the UK has a duty to support people forced to move due to the changes in their home environment, whether internally or from abroad.

    MG901 The Green Party will recognise the contribution of migrants and their descendants to the UK by making the 1st Monday on or after 22nd June, Windrush Day, a public holiday.

    MG902 The Green Party supports the teaching of the history of empire and colonialism, including from the viewpoint of those who were colonised.

      It is bad enough living in an area with road after road of economically inactive size 22 single muvvas with multiple children in social housing, who have never done a days work in their sorry lives, all paid for by those that work.

      Just wait for the Green Party to make it ten times worse.

      They love the word sustainability, in terms of ecology, but never apply that word to the financial burden required for their policies.

      Or maybe all part of the charge towards neanderthal and paleolithic living demanded by Tarquins in mummies SUV with their latest i phone

      for others, not them

    “GANGSTERS’ PARADISE How blight of Albanian gangs is turning the South East of England into a European crime hotspot”

    The sensational claims come in a new book by acclaimed crime investigator Wensley Clarkson.

    He has seen first-hand how Albanians are controlling sex workers in the South East, even using a shipping container as a torture chamber.

    On Wednesday, The Sun reported how National Crime Agency stats show that one in ten foreign prisoners in our jails is now Albanian.

    BBC enjoying the ‘difficulty ‘ of Thames Water – the regulator has allowed water firms to rack up Huge debt . So it’s money tree time – let’s buy the water companies ( back ) .

    The theory of privatisation versus reality – foreign ‘owners ‘ exploiting the stupidity of civil servants / politicians allowing borrowing to go uncontrolled knowing in the end the customers/ taxpayer will have to pick up the tab ….

    It seems – too – the people who are the ‘regulators ‘ go from one regulator to another on a Money train ….

      Surely not, with a wimmin in charge???

      Chief Executive of Reading-based Thames Water to step down with immediate effect.

      Ms Bentley, who was appointed in 2020, said in May that she would give up her bonus after the company’s environmental and customer performance suffered.

      But even after giving up the bonus, the chief executive managed to double her pay, raking in £1.5 million.

      At the time Gary Carter, a national officer at the GMB union, said that Ms Bentley’s plan to give up the bonus was “nothing more than a flimsy PR stunt”.

    More incestuous swamp stuff

    This time it’s the Hattie Harmon privileges kangaroo court . I’d like to know how many MPs on that were Remainers – obviously the likes of Harmon and Bernard Jenkins hates nut nut so wouid be bound to get him – but the other dummies ?

    A new report is published today to comments on those who supported nut nut .

    It’s the sort of swill which comes at the end of a tired lost overwhelmed parliament – and another attack line to get us back in thr ReichEU .

    Today
    A really good one – usual thing – lefties wanting more taxpayers ‘ money . This time it’s for taxpayers paid school meals ( they are not free )

    Apparently they need more money to feed the darlings because of inflation . I’d say cut the size of the meals . Anyway it seems that overnight an increased ‘per head ‘ sum has been announced . Neither of the lefty experts had heard of this so they were basically left looking ‘lefty dumb ‘…..

    Money tree after money tree …
