Monday too

Mondays being what they are, the weather too, might seem a bit gloomy for many.  Have just checked through Twitter news, Gab news, Breitbart [selectively these days], I really need to add to my blogrolls now with many of the old links which were sent but now are not being.

Think it's fair to say that the 'good' people are largely in a state of shock, people struggling to stay interested, which is particularly vital for us pundits, so a summary of the news below.

Around soc-med

Mike Yardley [Mask and vaxx]:

A close friend tells me he went to Kingston Hospital 2 weeks ago via back entrance for a consultant's appointment. He walked past half a dozen wards: "everything was empty, no staff, no patients, but all the equipment was there. Reception told me all appointments cancelled too."

Michael Swadling [Brit pundit]:

Don’t talk a good game you’re the Home Secretary.  Immediately instruct police to stop monitoring social media for wrong speak, and stop arresting peaceful protestors.  Then next week bring a free speech bill before Parliament. Either you’re actually doing this or it’s just more Tory lies.

Alice Grant [TBP mascot girl]:

Boris Johnson pushing the globalist slogan "build back better" & socialist "green recovery" agenda - how out of touch can be be with the electorate? There's NO MANDATE for an Economic Reset, nor for the centralisation of government powers to unaccountable global institutions.

Laura Perrins [Conservative Woman]:

This lockdown is the greatest abuse of power ever exercised by British government. We are now under indefinite house arrest where they refuse to explain any exit plan. It’s unprecedented.

Stopped the EU: 

Britons will refuse to live 'like Troglodytes' under indefinite lockdowns, says rebel Tory MP as he urges No10 to focus on lowering hospital admissions, describing the current lockdown as 'madness' and suggested people are 'going to have to rise up and bring it down'  -Talk Radio

Manda Panda [pundit]:

Semi-MSM

Delingpole:

A source in the Home Office has confirmed that Home Secretary Priti Patel is looking at how to reform hate speech laws which were brought in by Tony Blair’s Labour government to initially tackle racism and homophobia.

Yeah, right. I’ll believe it when I see it. In the days before the Conservatives won their 80 seat majority, I used to be a big fan of Priti. If ever she got to be Home Secretary, I thought, she would finally introduce some of the robust, unapologetic conservatism which moribund Britain has been so sorely lacking since the Margaret Thatcher era.

Instead, she has proved as ineffectual as such dismal predecessors at the Home Office as Theresa May. And in one key respect, she’s actually much worse.

Breitbart Montgomery:

The Boris Johnson administration’s efforts to pass legislation which will allow the state to recruit children to spy on their parents and even break the law while doing so has horrified some of the party’s top parliamentarians.

The Covert Human Intelligence Source (CHIS) Bill will, if passed into law, allow 22 state agencies, including the likes of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and local councils, as well as the intelligence services and police, to recruit children as “covert human intelligence sources” — spies, essentially. Children aged 16 and 17 could even be used to spy on their own parents, and afforded certain protections to break the law while doing so.

Around the blogs and sites

Bill Sticker in Canada:

Well it’s official. From the UK Governments web site. The lockdowns will continue.

(4) In regulation 19(1), for “17 January 2021”, substitute “17th July 2021”.

The lockdowns that don’t work. The numbers say so. Lockdowns that have no real effect upon either infection rates or mortality.

Which begs the question; when will this madness end? Because it is madness. 

That's about it, folks, for now.
