- The continuing lack of Parliamentary scrutiny of Covid rules is deeply troubling
- Who can distinguish between law and guidance at this point? Not ministers and not the police
- The idea that restrictions must remain until all risk is eliminated is an inversion of the traditional view of freedom
So 21 June will not, after all, see the great restoration of freedom that we had hoped for.
But while restricted businesses and their potential customers will be rightly disappointed, Step 4 (as the now-postponed June 21 roadmap stage is known) was never going to be a complete return to normality, and we should not be lulled into thinking that Step 3 (where we are now) is good enough to be going on with.
Step 4 does not include, for example a repeal of the mask mandate. The rules that pubs and restaurants may only serve customers who are seated, and other social distance rules and guidance, remain subject to the government’s Roadmap Review that has not yet been published. Such rules (no doubt combined with the crushing effects of the preceding months of forced closures) mean 25% of licensed premises have not re-opened since permitted to do so on 17 May. The idea of spontaneously turning up for a pint at the bar, or even standing outside your local, in that mystifying British way, are still distant memories and faint hopes. And it’s not just about pubs and hospitality either. While this one may now be more honoured in the breach, it is still illegal to invite more than six people into your home.
And who even knows what the rules are any more? Who has been able to keep up with the hundreds of changes, and distinguish between law and guidance? Not the police, and not ministers either. Last week the House of Lords Constitution Committee criticised the Government for announcing legal changes in press conferences and misrepresenting the law to the public. They found that this had led to a “lack of clarity around which rules are legally enforceable, posing challenges for the police and local government, leading to wrongful criminal charges, and potentially undermining public compliance”. Sadly, judging by yesterday evening’s announcement, the committee’s pleas for certainty, clarity and transparency have fallen on deaf ears. The current guidance on the restrictions is still misleadingly titled ‘what you can and cannot do’, and some of the crazy ‘rules’ for wedding celebrations (no dancing, no service sheets or hymn books) are also only guidance. Social distancing at the larger weddings that will now be permitted will be more tightly regulated. ... Continue reading >>>

France's FN Win Regional Elections First Round. Now The Cheating Starts
We want to avoid the usual hyperbole on this story, but victory for France’s Front National in the first round of regional elections on Sunday (6 December, 2015), in which the anti EU party led by Marine Le Pen lead the vote in six of France's thirteen regions, will shake up the political landscape not only in France but throughout Europe and possibly further afield.
Corporate Capitalism Has Replaced Democracy In Western Nations.
Although this is about the UK General Election in 2015 it has much wider relevance, concerning what is happening in the democratic societies of the developed nation. For that reason this look at how corporate capitalism is usurping democracy and individual freedom will also be relevant long after that election in May 2025.
Everything The Science Whores Told You About Eating Fat Was A Lie.
We have been telling you so for years, but at last the world seems to be cathing up with The Daily Stirrer.

It's process vegetable fat, created in laboratories by scientists and other synthesized foods that damage human health.
Walmart’s Greed: Dodging Billions in Taxes, Paying workers peanuts
Walmart Stores is America’s top-earning corporation. In 2013, its revenues were $473 billion, yet it only declared $16 billion in profits. Bizarrely Americans subsidize Walmart because its low-wage employees receive an estimated $6.2 billion annually in Food Stamps, Medicare and other anti-poverty benefits. Meanwhile Walmart has parked $21.4 billion in untaxed profits offshore and is lobbying to cut U.S. corporate tax rates.’

Another Big Result For The 'Conspiracy Theorists' - US CIA Corrupts Western Journalists.
Ever wondered why anybody trying to report news truthfully or initiate intelligent discussion is branded a conspiracy theorist, especially if their news or opinion is critical of the American government of American business interests? Read the content of this page and you will know a lot more about what is going on.
There are few people in politics who will say in public the things that really think, thanks to the hypersensitivity of the American political establishment and their enthusiasm for bombing the crap out of anyone who upsets members of their anointed minorities. Its refreshing then to learn of comments made by veteran Czech Republic leader, putting the boot into the cowardly mealy mouthed sum who pass for conservative and libertarian politicians in the English Speaking countries.
NHS 'at mercy of predatory US healthcare firms' if controversial Washington trade deal goes through
The whole world seems to be wising up to Washington's fascism and designed on creating a global empire. So how come our Conservative / Lib Dem coalition government is still sucking up to the American's and trying to be the corporate imperialists best friends when the rest of the developed world is distancing itself from the increasingly sinister Obama Administration?
The Perils Of Centralized Power
We show how the increasing centralization of power has led to the public becoming disenfranchised and feelinf unable to control their own lives. it has also facilitated the growth of a culture of corruption and cover up in public life, the justice system, education, the churches and other areas where the elite have become remote and out of touch with the citizens they serve.
As internet users you've all come across the kind of smart arse who thinks he has all the answers. The usually describe themselves as scientists or realists and are absolutely sure they are far too clever to be taken in by any of the nonsense that right wing extremist swivel eyed loons are always banging on about.

Politicians Are Offering A Trade, Safety For Freedom. But What Are We Really Trading Away?

Are the people to blame for the Covid spread – or are we using the wrong control measures?
As we near 100,000 deaths in the UK so far, the Covid-19 epidemic is still accelerating rapidly. The collective dogma, promoted by SAGE in the UK and the CDC across the pond, is that Covid is a flu-like virus transmitted in aerosols. However, current control measures against aerosols (which do seem to be preventing any influenza this year) are ineffective against Covid, short of locking people in their homes.
Getting To The Truth Of Covid?
A friend spent some time in hospital earlier this year, in September in fact. The problem was not COVID related and was easily dealt with by routine treatments. She was discharged and returned home thinking that would be the end of it. A few days later she could hardly walk and was complainming of fatigue and aching muscles and joints. As the weeks wore on things did not improve and on returning to the hospital for further tests she was told she might have picked up a case of "Long Covid." Having trained and worked as a nurse she recognised this diagnosis as bollocks
