FREEDOM DAY! Or is it? Government announces Domestic Vaccine Passports for the Autumn– [07-24-21]

“The Financial Jigsaw” has been serialised here and is replaced by this weekly “Letter from Great Britain.”  NOTEIf anyone would like an electronic copy of the complete book, I should be pleased to email a free PDF on request to: [email protected].

BREAKING – Oh the irony, Boris & Co are having to isolate having been ‘pinged’ by their own crazy NHS ‘test & trace App.  But the team have spent many hours plotting how to get around their own rules.  Read on for an example of the blatant hypocrisy of our supposed leaders’ failures: “Downing Street was accused of sowing confusion and a sense of “one rule for them” on the eve of so-called “freedom day” by saying Johnson and Rishi Sunak would continue with “essential government business”; they about-turned less than three hours later!” https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jul/18/questions-grow-pilot-scheme  So there is a God after all!

SO, JULY 19 – we got there at last and now everyone is leaping about and jumping for joy on getting back what were their universal rights anyway and which were unceremoniously stripped from them for 16 months – one for the history books.

Now, as a well-worn phrase has it: “They think it’s all over – now it is”. Let’s examine what exactly we have got back and what we continue to have imposed upon us from on high.

  • The NHS is in a hell-of-a-mess – 5 million+ waiting list – unlikely to clear in 10 years
  • International travel is virtually impossible and difficult to negotiate with vaccine passports, quarantines, confusing messaging, and associated testing costs
  • And now, HMG are flying a kite on domestic Covid passports for September
  • Foreign holidays are subject to sudden changes of quarantine rules – cost are extortionate
  • Masks are ‘strongly recommended’ and enforced on many city transports, hospitals and government buildings with added social pressure
  • Test & Trace App is operational; millions are uselessly self-isolating each week
  • Businesses are short of staff, deeply in debt and many are unlikely to survive
  • Covid and Brexit combined are causing shortages everywhere and
  • Prices are going through the roof – people are getting poorer by the day because
  • Welfare benefits are being cut and wages are stagnant

The Brits have been subject to government PsyOps for so long they have suffered mass mental breakdowns and have become slavering Pavlov’s Dogs.  In short, Britain is an all-round economic and humanitarian disaster compounded by a corrupt and sleaze-ridden leadership with no possible chance of recovery from the impending depression bearing down on us at light speed.: “All-in-all, “Freedom Day” is all mouth and no trousers, and unlikely to do much to dissuade the growing number of people that believe the “virus” – if it truly exists – is being used as a pretext to impoverish millions, enrich dozens and perform a global-scale theft of basic human liberty.” https://off-guardian.org/2021/07/19/discuss-freedom-day-arrives/

“Supermarkets are warning of empty shelves. Underground lines closed due to staff shortages.  A “pingdemic” that has told more than 500,000 people to self-isolate in the past week. Funny sort of freedom day. Yet it was all supposed to be so easy. Britain would gradually emerge from its winter hibernation in a series of measured steps.” Read on how it’s all working out: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jul/18/britain-economic-confusion-reflects-the-mess-of-covid-freedom-day

HERE’S why the NHS is in serious trouble.  It all stems back to decades ago when the government starting reducing the number of beds just as the old and infirm cohort was growing. An NHS doctor relates his story:

“I hope the readers will forgive a little self-indulgence on my part if I relate an anecdote from the tail end of my 12 years as a junior doctor in the early years of the first Blair government. At the time, the Health Secretary Alan Milburn (advised by the youthful Simon Stevens) had issued strict waiting time targets to all hospitals.

I was tasked with sorting out the numbers of patients on the surgical waiting lists at a large teaching hospital. It became apparent that if a patient had a date for surgery, they were no longer counted as ‘waiting’, even if that date was many months in the future. Accordingly, I issued dozens of patients dates for surgery and achieved compliance with the waiting time targets at a stroke.

There was just one problem. Both the managers and I knew that all those patients had virtually no chance of getting into the hospital on their designated dates. Due to lack of available beds, they would all be cancelled a couple of days before admission. At a meeting with the CEO of the Trust, I pointed this out. He looked me in the eye and said, “Let me make one thing clear to you. There is no problem with beds in this hospital.”

I briefly considered debating the assertion, but realised it was a pointless endeavour. The facts did not fit the Chief Executive’s preferred narrative – so the facts had to change. He was subsequently awarded a Knighthood for services to healthcare.”  So there you have it – lies, damned lies and statistics: https://lockdownsceptics.org/2021/06/27/six-impossible-things-before-breakfast/

AND – talking of falsehoods, it seems that the public on both sides of the pond are getting decisively tired of the BS that spews from the MSM. “Until now the masses seemed to be inculcated with the slow burn of endless propaganda and sermonizing from as far back as the days of Edward Bernays (who coined the word “propaganda”).

Now with the pandemic and all this talk about a Great Reset and the New Normal because of a virus that was made more infectious in a Chinese lab funded by US technocrats, this is all beginning to look (in the immortal words of The New York Dolls) like “too much, too soon”.

It may turn out that there is a saturation level of manufactured narrative that the public can be led to believe or tolerate and beyond that point it all begins to look like hyperreality. Not only do fewer people believe it anymore, more of them are done with even pretending to believe it.

With too many things that were presented to us as truthful information over the last year turning out to be wrong, or a lie and almost everything that was dismissed as “already debunked conspiracy theory” turning out to have more substance, we may be crossing that point now.” https://bombthrower.com/articles/late-stage-globalism-when-anything-that-is-not-censored-is-a-lie/

BUT – not all British MSM are crooks.  We are indebted to The Sun newspaper for revealing the Hancock scandal and now the Government secret watchdogs are punishing the whistle-blower: “Hancock realised the game was up, quit and publicly apologised.  And since both sides of the political divide — and Britain’s most senior lawyer, Lord Chancellor Robert Buckland — agree the story was in the public interest then by definition so was the leak of the CCTV which brought it to light.

So it is monstrous that goons from the Government-backed Information Commissioner’s Office have raided two properties, seizing computers, hoping to identify the whistleblower.  It is an outrageous abuse. A tactic designed to punish those who rightly came forward, and sure to deter others who might have evidence of another scandal of national importance.” https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15605957/monstrous-ico-hancock-whistleblower/ AND – LATEST – the British government has said that it will NOT be examining Hancock’s private emails because they are irrelevant.  Marvellous, this is how it works here folks, with these criminals in charge.

WITH people like this advising Boris no wonder we are in deep ‘DooDoo’ in Britain. This supposed ‘scientist’ is nothing of the kind.  She is a dupe for the Communist Party of Great Britain and a ‘behaviourist’ who is responsible for the fear agenda blanketing these islands with its continual dark and foreboding ‘forever’ clouds to match.

“Susan Michie, who is advising the UK government as part of the SAGE scientific dictatorship which has had the country locked down for the best part of 16 months, was finally confronted during a segment on Good Morning Britain.

When she was previously asked for how much longer social distancing, mask mandates and lockdowns should continue, Michie said “forever.”  Despite Michie making innumerable appearances on television, not one single interviewer asked her about being a Communist until GMB host Richard Madeley broke the ice yesterday morning.” Read this long awaited exposé :  https://summit.news/2021/07/06/communist-party-lockdown-zealot-freaks-out-when-asked-about-her-beliefs/

The SARS2 delta variant is accelerating through England’s north and midland areas and data available recently indicates some interesting facts: “As per the table [in the link below] we can see that of the 53,822 confirmed cases of the Delta Covid variant in people who are unvaccinated, 38 have sadly died. This accounts to 0.07% of confirmed cases in the people who are unvaccinated.

However, of the 7,235 confirmed cases of the Delta Covid variant in people who had received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and were therefore fully vaccinated, 50 have sadly died. This amounts to 0.69% of confirmed cases in people who are fully vaccinated.

This data, which again has been published by Public Health England, shows us that people who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine have a 885.7% higher chance of dying due to the Delta Covid variant than people who are unvaccinated.  Now that definitely isn’t what the Covid-19 vaccines said on the tin.”  The data presented here are from Public Health England (PHE): https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/07/03/fully-vaccinated-people-have-a-885-higher-chance-of-death-due-to-covid-19-than-people-who-are-unvaccinated-according-to-official-data/

HOWEVER – this is having a severe effect on Britain’s anaemic economy. I had projected high unemployment when furlough ends but this is not likely the case; the problem is not enough labour: “Britain’s employers are struggling with the worst staff shortages since the late 1990s, amid the rush to reopen from lockdown and a sharp drop in overseas workers due to Covid and Brexit.

Sounding the alarm over the risks to economic recovery from acute labour shortages, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and the accountancy firm KPMG said the number of available workers plunged in June at the fastest rate since 1997.

Recruitment firms are reporting hiring challenges across several sectors of the economy, led by shortfalls in areas such as transport and logistics, hospitality, manufacturing and construction” https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jul/08/uk-employers-struggle-with-worst-labour-shortage-since-1997 As I have said elsewhere, this scamdemic has encouraged people to re-evaluate their lifestyles and many are not returning to the daily grind ever again – corporate slave-owners can go and get stuffed!

BUT if you are thinking of flying off to the land of the sun for a welcome break – think again.  Vaccinated people are being advised not to board an aeroplane due to the risk of blood clots.  This has been further confirmed by the news recently that four pilots at British Airways have died of heart failure after taking the jab.

Now we discover that many more cancelled flights than average are occurring. Medical News Today published a study on June 15th, 2021 that showed an increased risk of blood clotting and low platelets in AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine recipients. Some scientists hypothesize that since the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in the shot causes a full body reaction, once the vaccine comes into contact with platelets inside the human body, the vaccine activates those platelets, causing them to change shape and transmit chemical signals to the immune system. Those platelets send out platelet factor 4 (PF4), which regulates blood clotting.” https://prepareforchange.net/2021/06/27/thousands-of-flights-cancelled-as-vaccinated-pilots-fall-ill-or-die

SO – if I mean being in the sun is residing in South Africa, then perhaps not so much, as many have commented here: ” Am I still thinking of removing to the land of the sun and mayhem?”.  Well, perhaps a read of this short article will explain why I have no fears of returning to South Africa because its people are not so different from those everywhere on the planet – we are all human with human faults alike:  “….And that light shone through in this week of mayhem. We are the people of Pimville who protected Maponya Mall, the taxi drivers who blocked off shopping centres, the nurses and doctors who went every day to save lives and heal the sick even when their own lives were at risk.

We are the members of communities in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal who took out our brooms and cleaned up the mess. We are the people who feed the hungry in soup kitchens, make rotis for hospitals that run out of bread, who comfort the bereaved and help the injured get the medical care they need.

We are beautiful. We are kind. We are resilient and resourceful. We are compassionate. We are also hateful. Self-interested. Greedy. Destructive. Ignorant. We are all kinds of amazing and all kinds of fucked up. We are all of this. The denial and distancing of those parts of who we are as South Africans that make us uncomfortable will only lead us further astray.” https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-07-17-this-is-who-we-are-as-a-people-all-kinds-of-amazing-and-all-kinds-of-anarchy Do you think America will have the same kind of resilience and community spirit when the crisis comes, as it surely will?  Britain is also in the same boat: ““So amongst us there’s criminals,” Fani said, “but you know what, I think 90% of South Africans have good hearts and we’ve come out of worse situations, if you look at our history.” https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-07-17-this-is-us-those-holding-south-africa-together AND this wonderful South African history on TBP this week: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2021/07/22/land-reform-and-farm-murders-in-south-africa-the-untold-story-of-the-boers-and-the-anc/

HOWEVER – there is always a brighter future; you only need belief and resilience in the face of oppression and corruption. “The worldwide push towards authoritarianism under the pretext of a faux pandemic is coercing nearly every aspect of society into its respective pen, which means that nearly everyone is in a position to become a wrench in the gears.

This is what inspired me to create this painting; it celebrates the revolutionary spirit being demonstrated by all manner of people, from grandmothers refusing to shop at mask enforcing stores, to parents exploring alternative ways to educate their children rather than letting them be muzzled and injected by the state.”  Read on to view a picture of hope in this short article: https://off-guardian.org/2021/07/18/a-brighter-future/

BREXIT:  The government is struggling to implement Brexit rules for EU citizens in UK.  The 45-year-old woman, who arrived in Britain as an 11-month-old baby and who has never left the country, said she has tried more than 100 times to get through to the Home Office-run helpline in the past three weeks, but has never been able to speak to an adviser.

She has applied for EU settled status, but her application is stuck somewhere in the backlog of over 500,000 cases the Home Office has yet to process. She is the main breadwinner, with two children to support, and said her dismissal has left her struggling to buy food.”  https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/19/spanish-woman-in-uk-for-44-years-sacked

VACCINE ADVERSE REACTIONS:  UK is suffering a major increase in vaccine damage: The cumulative total of adverse reactions to all Covid-19 vaccine reported to the MHRA as of the 14th July stands at 1,082,942. This means that for every 43 people vaccinated an adverse reaction is suffered.  Many people will assume that the vast majority of these adverse reactions are a sore arm, or fatigue. Unfortunately they are wrong and they include the following” https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/07/22/infertility-birth-defects-uk-government-release-25th-report-on-adverse-reactions-to-the-covid-19-vaccines/

What kind of science is he in? I mean I’m not a scientist, just semi good at analyses, figuring out the future based on new evidences. Like the fact that Macron will not force military or police to vaccinate. Why? Because he believe they will obey him just in case of violent action on the side of French people.

Actually this is the strange part of the very few that are exempt from the wax are the Gendarmes (thus La Garde Republicaine) police and military.

Excellent retort!

My husband told me about the new policy of the NFL to force unwaxed players and employees to test every single day.

Isn’t that painful nose-swab test obsolete now? It is just a way to punish and threaten the unwaxed.

I do not know if you can access Twitch but I’ve followed Jonathan Couey, a neurobiologist from Pittsburg who has a new endeavor underway to explain the daily news about Covid19 and the (not a) vaccination concerns to viewers on Twitch.

It’s very informative, interesting and a little on the edgy and upbeat side.

I do not have Twitch, I follow few US French and European news, and of course TBP where I spend most of my chatting time. Can’t be everywhere but is so nice about TBP are information about those other news I couldn’t find on my own.
Since I’m not going to get waxed (I will die before they stab me) I do not follow too closely the medical part of the vaccines. I do follow the side effects.

Went shopping yesterday and there were no empty shelves and no-one I know has mentioned anything either so I do suspect the media is trying to hype up more panic buying with possibly old photos from last year rather that current ones. Also no problem with getting my car in for MOT and service which is another thing the media is claiming has a backlog due to the ‘pingdemic’.

I spoke to my GP on Tuesday this week about a possible hernia and got an immediate referral to a surgeon on Monday who will decide if it requires surgery. Normally they like to repair hernias early so it will be interesting to see how soon they schedule the op.

Is it just me or does it seem like they are stacking toilet paper in several aisles at more than one store?

I think I saw industrial packages of toilet paper at the lumber store at the yard* the other day.

*Why is it a lumber yard?

Silly. Paper is made from wood pulp. The only serious question about TP in a lumber yard is… how many splinters?

I find certain words especially fascinating. Lumber is one of them. To lumber is to: move in a slow and awkward way. Now how that word also came to describe a potential sexual partner escapes me but, and, additionally, in Britain to lumber someone is to place a heavy and awkward burden on them. Those are all definitions in addition to the most common definition of cutting up timber to make planks of wood. Planks of wood are lumber so it’s a verb and a noun.

Other fascinating words are: delicious, along with locomotive and hippopotamus. Pencil lead, oleaginous, peckish and scruffy also make the list….

ok I quit for now but, you did bring up lumber yard, which, as everyone knows, is a place where people move in slow and awkward ways.

Back in the day, there was a small store with nails, tools and a few other items and all of the lumber was kept in the “yard” under sheds. There was one across the street from my grandparent’s house back in the early 50’s and my uncle spent his life working in lumber yards, so I have been around them most of my life, as well. If you remember Payless Cashways or Central hardware had a large store with lots of items, but their lumber was still outside under the sheds. Home Depot and Lowes pretty much did them in.

The British people were so prostrate after WWII, that they threw out Winston Churchill a month after VE Day on the promise by the Labor Party to create the NHS. Now that clap, literally, all over the nation on I think Wednesday evenings for their precious NHS.
