Shy Talk

The propaganda has gone into overdrive in the Mail today. I counted at least eight 'anti-vax'-bashing articles, the pick of which are: Talk about an own goal - they've wheeled out the toxic Hancock: MATT HANCOCK returns to the fray: In all my time in public life, I have never come across a group so blinkered and dangerous as anti-vaxxers https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10004495/MATT-HANCOCK-time-never-come-group-dangerous-anti-vaxxers.html The Delta Variant is turning into Liam Neeson: Covid Delta variant 'will hunt down anyone who's not had jab' due to 'the nature' of the more transmissible strain, scientific advisers warn No 10 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10005097/Covid-Delta-variant-hunt-whos-not-jab-scientific-advisers-warn-No-10.html Danny Murphy with another of those nonsensical 'I was okay for 18 months but then had the jab and caught Covid - thank God I had the jab' stories: Match Of The Day pundit Danny Murphy reveals he's tested positive for Covid and is 'thankful' he's had two vaccine doses

The three pandemics last century - Spanish Flu, Asian Flu, Hong Kong Flu - blew themselves out after a couple of years. We're approaching a couple of years with this one (if you believe it exists), so why wouldn't it also fizzle out, especially as it's no deadlier than those three? They obviously don't want to sit back and allow that to happen, hence the rush to get the booster shots into as many as possible, thereby further weakening immune systems and leaving people vulnerable to winter bugs they would normally brush off. It's the only way they can prolong the nonsense.

Phew, preggers bloke emoji finally confirmed: https://www.ladbible.com/news/latest-pregnant-man-emoji-confirmed-for-next-update-on-smartphones-20210916 "Although 'a large majority of people who have been pregnant or have given birth identify as women', there are intersex men and transmen who get pregnant," Emojipedia said They're also expecting people to use the pregnant man emoji 'to denote that uncomfortable feeling after you ate too much at lunch'. Too much lunch? By the size of the stomach it looks as though he's eaten a pregnant intersex man

Not taking sides but isn't there a child abuse thread for this?

Ha ha, these characters really are shameless: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rival-claims-for-the-charms-of-chevening-wcm9nngng

Surprised the cops didn't have a choreographed dance prepared to entertain the bored protestors. It's beyond Pythonesque: 'Just let us know if there's anything you need': Woke cops pander to eco-mob blocking M25 AGAIN and take two hours to move them on but grapple with fuming motorists as woman is seriously injured in crash. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9992613/Eco-mob-block-M25-AGAIN.html

You'd hope so but I'm sceptical given her 'breeding'. I posted earlier today about Robert Peston wringing his hands over 'privilege'. He's the son of a Jewish peer. How dare he talk about white privilege, generalising it as though he belongs with the working class whites who climbed the ladder from the bottom and made something of themselves. A man who has made a career built solely on affected speech, exaggeratedly drawing out one syllable followed by staccato delivery of the next few words. What an embarrassment he should be to anyone related. Unfortunately Waller-Bridge is higher up the pile than the nonsense that is Peston, so don't hold your breath on her hitting the bricks.

Totally agree with the 'big group hug' comment. There are more people stood in the background recording the nonsense than there are in the half a dozen 'antifa' scrum. There isn't one decent shove from either side, while one girl has enough time to slowly readjust her spectacles. Joke.

Love the Independent's lame attempt to justify it all in the headline by saying a woman had to tape a baby to her - as though they came over miles of choppy seas (when the sea was super smooth all day, otherwise they would never have launched, as you can see from the pics). Never occurred it was just as a safety net to get from boat to shore after landing? Of course not. Hideous, disingenuous journalism that should be punishable. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/baby-strapped-to-woman-among-e2-80-981000-migrants-e2-80-99-who-crossed-channel-on-monday/ar-AAO9Vnb

Good on him. He probably needs to watch his back. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9956711/Craig-Kelly-slammed-unsolicited-United-Australia-Party-spam-text-messages-sent-Australians.html

Presumably inevitable when a Waller-Bridge (landed gentry) tries to go too street: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9962977/Phoebe-Waller-Bridge-quits-Mr-Mrs-Smith-series-creative-differences-Donald-Glover.html

Probably the most ridiculous piece I've read by a so-called senior journalist - as ever with these virtue-signallers extraordinaire, they just ignore the huge elephant in the room that is meritocracy. Although I wonder if he'd have been so keen to put pen to paper if he'd been 41 rather than 61 and in his twilight years as a broadcaster (we hope)? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9960383/Every-day-stay-work-middle-class-white-man-bonus-Robert-Peston-says.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ico=taboola_feed_article_desktop_tvshowbiz

He's had that faux-concerned look since he returned from pretending he was at death's door with 'covid'. The quote 'politics is showbiz for ugly people' just about sums him - and the rest - up.

Like the vax, it will eventually be mandatory to have one. They'll end up giving them out if people resist.
