      I thought I would make a thread on what caught you eye in the news good or bad. This follows on from last week when I posted about the MP Lee Anderson who suggested we could cook a meal from scratch for 30p and foodbanks weren’t needed if we could cook.

      So today another Tory MP Racheal Maclean the safeguarding minister has said “That people struggling with the cost of living should take on more hours or move to a better-paid job”

      How does a comment like this help the most vulnerable in society. Those that can’t work, the disabled pensioners or even those that can only take up low paid work for what ever reason. I find Mp’s and ministers are so out of touch with with the public, the comments they come out with are beyond nonsense.

                Yeah I read that struth, apparently he was a very poorly chap, but managed to drag himself to the balcony and chuck himself over. Plus all the others, whole families mysterious dead.

                  MSPs will return to Holyrood next week ready to debate the pressing issues facing ordinary Scots – starting with a call to introduce a nationwide ban on meat.

                  The Scottish Parliament’s public petitions committee has accepted a petition calling for the ban to be “phased in” within the decade. It has been submitted by Roger Green from the Vote With Your Fork campaign, which is working towards a “meat free quantum future”.

                  His petition says: “Here in Scotland, myself and many others support a phased in ban on meat for 2030-2040, which also reduces the environmental impact of the livestock food system. Scotland should achieve healthy dietary goals by 2030-2040 and, amongst other dietary priorities, this includes the phasing out of meat consumption.”

                   

                  where do these folk come from and how can we thrash them  ? idiot; apart from peoples rights, way to go destroying our farming and fishing… they will be banning whisky next…(heaven forbid)

                      I am Not surprised one bit, I have said this was going to happen and other stuff and been called a conspiracy theorist, but to me and other’s it’s logical and all part of the agenda and it seems to become reality very quickly nowadays and they are not shy about being open about it anymore. Whatever they say it is, it’s not what we being told it is, we are told it’s for our own good or of others or the planet, but it’s to make us weaker and enslave us to them and pay of the debts they create and keep control of the rudder of the direction they take us.

                      It’s always been that way, why is it any different now just as they say it is and it’s democracy. The few still control the narrative of the many, always have and always will. Many just fail to see it and those that do and fight against it, get chewed up and spat out by the system even countries. Or we are called names to shut down the discussion and the new one’s are that’s misinformation or your a denier. You cannot even debate the matter with these people, they then want you cancelled if you speakout and silenced for daring to differ and suggest alternatives and question their narrative, which manily now is being forced upon us and not my natural progression and often my market forces. Like vegans for example, we the masses all gonna be forced to be vegan’s rather than it being a matter of your choice.

                      The elite will be able to still afford it, pretty much like they’ll still fly in their private jets preaching but not practicing what they preach. Bill gates and others has invested to much in land and lab grown meat for it not to be still eaten by the elite.

                      The UN wants alcohol banned also and this was also seen during covid. They will make it more and more expensive rather than ban it, but in new zealand they taking an approach to stop smoking were those born now will never be allowed to smoke. It won’t work as like in scotland, NZ has a huge illegal drugs problem. But then what’s targeted next, as they know what’s best for us all and then comes the other reason’s to validate it all, myself and many others support this action. Like how many of the people exactly support it and who did you actual target in you poll. Problem is we gave that inch and now they taking the biscuit. They’ll still be eating steak while we’re eating bugs as thats another plan of theirs as the footprint would be lower.

                      Regardless of views on meat or smoking etc, it’s should be a persons free choice and that freedoom is being eroded away and thats the agenda’s goal. People need to wake-up and see it before it’s to late, it might be already to late.

                      The wef and the elite are one part of it and recently what they been releasing is truely shocking from global farming, to plans for basically no personal car ownership and us all sharing. It not just them but a whole spidersweb and the banks will be happy when many default on their morgages and then repo their homes.

                      The great reset is coming and the new normal is here to stay, 1st you must destroy to build back better, 1st you must weaken the defences before the full on assault.

                      You will own nothing and be happy. How will they make that happen is the big question not if it will or not happen. Create or instigate some crisis so they then can offer the solutions and give goverments more powers to regulate us which is really by controlling us.

                      If they control the supply of food and energy they have ulitmate control. The same people we trust in by backing their cabal’s are the same people who weaponise everything and have killed many without a care in the world, just they do it with a smile from a far and is for the greater good, somehow they benefit from our misery over and over, generation after generation.

                      A goverment’s job is to implement the policy from above. I first understood this when in parliament a question was asked. What is the goverment doing to implement UN policies and meet the targets setout.

                      Plus the 4th industrial revolution is coming with ai and big tech controlling and monitoring us all to stop us rising up against the tyranny. What then when AI & robots take over many jobs like driving, cleaning, pretty much all the working class jobs or even more skilled jobs if it can be done by ai or a machine and technology over a person. Are we not going to overseeing our own demise like many civilisations in the past.

                      How will you heat your home and feed yourself never mind you kids.

                      It always happens later down the road slowly slowly they rollout the plan and restricting availability is one way to stop usage as it increase’s the price.

                      In N.I they talking about having to cull cattle to meet green targets and that will be next to happen all over and whats happening in the Netherlands with the farmers is a disgrace and hardly no media coverage of it, just like with the yellow vests in france but covid shut themdown.

                      The wef have said they will buy up all the dutch farmers land for their global industrial farming plan.

                      Also the stuff they teaching in schools is condition and scaring the kids into disciples of their cult, who many think the world is going to end and what when their parents cannot afford to heat their home and feed and clothe them and definitely will not be able to take them on holidays and the state will then say we can do a better job of raising your children than you.

                      It started long ago when both parents went out to work, parents are just not about for their kids and palm them off to daycare and now we going to see them both having to work every hour under the sun just to provide the basics and many won’t be able to even do that.

                      They said not so long ago about leveling up, only that’s really going to work by levelling us all down to that of the Third World and the dollar, euro and gbp will hit parity and then their’s no reason not to have one currency and a new system will replace the one we have now.

                      Its overdue as any monetary system only lasts for so long and every policy they seem to put in place seems to have a negative effect on the economy and us the people.

                        The one big thing I forgot to mention they never get blame for it all, someone else does or it’s all our own faults, when all we did was follow them and the world they setout and created. Like plastic and the throw away culture, now thats bad, diesel was better but now it’s not. On and on I could go but they social engineer us all and like in this picture.

                        We all born and then turned into blockheads, notice the baby is the only one with a round head.

                            Again just like with the fuel crisis the supplier’s of energy to us make the least profit from it all. It seems, they though are the one’s targeted as making the huge profits and ripping us all off. £63 is less than 2% of the average annual cost of £3,549

                            Where as the goverment and those controlling the markets are making more from it all than ever and will do moving forward. Increased cost’s lead to more profits that’s how percentage margin’s work and leads to us all having less disposable income, as wages or allowance’s never rise at the same rate.

                              I understand the retail suppliers profit is capped at 1.9%. The ones making enormous profit just now are the suppliers of renewables who sell their electricity to the market at the same price as electricity generated by gas.

                                Indeed, So there is scope for market reform as the new p.m has suggested they’ll look into it. They’ve had it to good for to long and yes it creates money to invest in more alternative renewables but now gas has risen so much and imo won’t really come down anytime soon. The time has come to break that tie to the price of gas and it should make it a more viable option than ever.

                                        I have tremendous admiration for the devotion and dedication QE2 gave to being our Monarch.

                                        I do hope the Palace manage this period of Mourning well, too disruptive and gloomy will be damaging, it’s a balancing act, times have changed since 1952, I do hope they realise.

                                          yeah i remember a few like churchill that were morose even in the day. 12 days mourning is imo, way too long.

                                              Royal mourning will be observed by members of the Royal Family, those who work in the Royal Household, representatives on official duties and troops who carry out ceremonial duties.

                                              Throughout this period, royal residences will close until after the Queen’s funeral. These include the Queen’s Gallery, the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace and the Queen’s Gallery in Edinburgh. Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House will also be closed, along with Hillsborough Castle – the Queen’s official residence in Northern Ireland.

                                              Flags at royal residences will remain at half-mast until 8am on the morning after the last day of royal mourning.
