Just when we thought it couldn't get sillier Farage has launched a party devoted to keeping a nation INSIDE A COMMON MARKET and customs union where there is freedom of movement!

In Scotland.. I hope they give him an appropriate welcome

I wonder if Mel Gibson is available?

I posted a while back that I had seen a wind powered hydro foil surf board off the coast of my village. I wonder how long it will be before I see one of these flying along at 25 mph?

Been windfoiling about 3 years. (windsurfer with foil on about a 3ft mast) Top speed is well below windsurfing but they go earlier than windsurfers do and can use smaller sails... But I, ve gone back to windsurfing... Once you, ve become accustomed to fun of flying over chop I don't think its as dynamic as windsurfing and far more intricate. (a cm wrong in pitch and you are jumping, a cm other way and you are diving)
But the efoilers are great. Range and performance are increased with addition of foil. (electric wake boards have been with us a while)

You wouldn't think there was a profit supplying free school meal bags for a week instead of £30 vouchers

Priced in Asda
Public funds were charged £30. I'd have bought this for £5.22.
The private company who have the #FSM contract made good profit here.

Can somebody explain this phrase "global reset". Heard it on other sites. WTF is it??
North Korea taking over???

This is all BS too but have a read.

www.worlddoctorsalliance.com

Convincing tho..

Read all about it here. Don't think this is a nutjob conspiracy theory. This is the World Economic Forum, i.e. all the world leaders and influential people that go to Davos every year. Their slogan, before it was taken down last month is, "You'll own nothing and be happy".

Here's my interpretation: A group of oligarchs and billionaires are making a power grab. They're using viruses and climate change as excuses to clamp down on your freedoms. It all looks very fluffy on their website, but you need to read the words carefully and think about what they mean. Also, think about what's going on at the moment. You're seeing increased censorship, where you can no longer speak about aspects of the virus , election results and immigration in places that have large public acess. All the time, this censorship is tightening, while everybody cheers it on. Also, your fredoms have been taken away - your right to go where you want and see who you want. Don't think this is going to be over soon. They'll milk this virus as much as they can, then maybe the next one, and when they can't get any more from it, you won't be able to do what you want because of climate change. Instead of killing people by infecting them, you'll be killing people in Africa by flying in a plane or driving your car.

Those are your freedom to do what you want and say what you want. The other freedom they're working on is your financial freedom. Their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible, by either not allowing them to work (employees) or making their business not viable (employers). This won't affect multi-national companies owned by these elites. Basically, they'll bust the economy. As a result of that, they will use this burden as an excuse to increase taxes on those that still have money and income until their freedom to spend their money how they want will be gone too.

The great Reset isn't new. People have been working on it for decades, but what you can see now is an acceleration and wider spread of their activities, since they got critical mass. Nearly all the leaders of the Western World are involved and signed up to it. For them, it's a bit like a club or fraternal society. When you join, they look after you and promote you to more power and influence. If you don't join or if you act against them, you get cut off and excommunicated.

If you don't have much and you're a bit fed up with life's struggle, it's probably a good thing, but if you have money and you're used to holidays abroad and driving expensive cars, I don't think you're going to like it. I just play on my computer and ride my bike now, so I'm watching it with interest while it all unfolds.

The Great Reset

There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative.

I’m not massively impressed with what I’ve seen of the BBC TV school lessons so far.

The programmes I’ve seen involved a regionally accented twat, clowning around and attempting to be fancy. One bloke was wearing a pink skirt.

Whatever happened to spectacled, sober looking men wearing Crimplene slacks and corduroy jackets?

I can’t see the BEEBS efforts amounting to very much.

You're so old school. You remind me of my dad when I used to be listening to Jimi Hendrix. You need to get modern. I would start by learning your pronouns:

Gender Neutral Pronouns: What They Are & How to Use Them

To avoid offending someone, consider using these gender-neutral pronouns in your everyday workplace conversations.

could parler be part of the 'great reset'?
someone said you have to upload your driver licence to open an account.
Now the hackers and the FBI can get to yours with ease.
I wonder if vfr has a parler account.

That's complete ball-cox. Yes, I had a Parler account, no they didn't ask for a driving license or anything else.

 

[vfr400]

I have some genuine information for you. My Neice is the publicity manager for three major hospitals and her mum (my sister) is a retired Ward Sister from one of them, and she now volunteers in the Covid screening area.

They told me that they do indeed have problems servicing all the Covid patients, partly because there's quite a lot of them, but mainly because they have to test all the staff regularly, and one by one, they test positive, so have to stay at home in quarrantine for 2 weeks or whatever it is. That means that they keep running out of staff. They try to cover that by shutting down other services in the hospital and commandeering the staff.

Secondly, they're not set up to provide oxygen for so many patients at the same time in the same area of the hospital. Their normal piped supply can't cope, so they've had to bring in bottles of oxygen, but keeping up with the bottle changes and everything associated with them is making it hard for the already over-worked staff.

In summary, the hospitals are having difficulty keeping up with the demand for Covid treatment, but it's not quite because thousands of people are coming in every day unable to breathe. This also explains why the non-covid part of the hospital is deserted, like when I was there and when that woman made that famous video the other day.

Phone number?

As it turns out, Parler is doing some sort of validation on phone numbers

Add to this that the legalese is in PDF form and not even as content on the site, and that to be a verified user you must upload either a driver’s license or passport (really).

Parler wants a unique individual and a sole owner of an account. And the only way to do this is by sharing your personal identification

Far from protecting privacy, Parler seems to have no issue talking to other services that collect user data.

Parler isn’t safe (parlez-vous danger?)

Next interesting fact: Has anybody heard of Covid toes? You can read all about them in the link below and you can search Google for articles, papers and pictures. The gist of it is that some people get Covid in their toes without any other symptoms, though some do have symptoms and test positive. In fact the majority of people in one sample group never had any normal Covid symptoms. Some get the toes after they had the normal symptoms. Apparently, they know it's Covid because they can see it with an electron microscope in the skin samples.

Have a look at the photos in the links and other photos from a Google search, then compare with the photo of my foot that I took this morning. What do you reckon? they feel a bit like when you get cold toes, but in the middle of the night, they suddenly become very itchy and a pain like when you're feet unfreeze after being completely frozen. I thought I had Chilblains, but I couldn't explain why because I haven't been out of the house for two weeks!

COVID Toes Could Last for 150 Days, New Research Finds

The analysis, which drew from hundreds of coronavirus cases in dozens of countries, found that some patients had symptoms for months after diagnosis.

That's just spin. Every account I make now, including Paypal, my bank, Google, etc. all ask for a phone number; however, they all need your actual phone number. There are always ways round that when you want to make an account with non-essential services, like Parler. I can't say anymore in case I incriminate someone.

I'm not saying it's new. I'm just saying, it's actual information directly from the front line, so you can validate that report about Southend.

I was recently tested for diabetes and given the all clear. It's impossible for me to get an appointment with a GP. I have to wait until it's an emergency, then ring 999. I'm not joking. What's worse, if they get a suspicion that it's Covid toes, they won't come within a mile, or if I go to A and E, they'll put me in the Covid half, which could be a death sentence given my lung problems. I've been waiting 4 years to see a doctor to fix my broken toe that stops me from walking. The appointment has finally come on 20th, so I won't say anything. I'll just let him see it. He's a skeletal specialist, so he might not notice or be interested.

A couple of things before I retire for the night (having a busy time these days staying in), firstly as I'm sue you'll all know it's against the law to capture still or video footage inside a hospital without the consent of the authorities.
A woman has just been prosecuted doing just that, let the medics do their thing time for recriminations later.

Second...I have a dozen and one accounts with banks and other financial institutions, forums and many other groups that share my many interests. None of them know my address's, my phone numbers (I have six mobiles) or my email acc. Also, and here's the big one I'm not on the voters list either yet I can vote! all easily sorted if you know how and believe me I do know how. I even spell my name differently to what's on my birth certificate so I can be many people, I bend rules but don't break the law.

Really? you told us so?

Then you are living in an alternative reality, is the weather nice?
